AND THEY’RE OFF! About the only thing that could possibly be cuter than the annual Weiner Dog Race during Sam Steele Days in Cranbrook, would be an actual Baby Race. The race took place at the Kootenay Baby and Toddler Expo, held at the Kimberley Conference Centre last Saturday, October 18. The event was organized by local photographer Frida Viklund.

Food Bank needs directors C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank has just completed its year end and will be reporting to its members at an upcoming meeting that they handed out a total of 1644 hampers in 2014 at a total cost of $223,210.12. That total includes estimated price of donated food

as well as cash spent.

As always a large portion of the 4,223 people fed in the past year were children (1,841).

The need never goes away says longtime Food Bank president Stan Salikin and the Kimberley Food Bank is especially fortunate to have a hard working and dedicated team of volunteers to help out.

What the Food Bank

Society lacks at the moment is directors.

“We normally have eight directors, but we have four openings,” Salikin said.

While directors are also volunteers, they get much more involved planning, organizing, setting policies and fundraising than the standard volunteer does.

“We don’t expect you to spend all your

life there, but we do want you to be active and believe in the philosophy of food banks,” Salikin said.

Anyone wishing to become a Food Bank director can call the Kimberley Food Bank at 250-427-5522 and speak to Heather Smith, or call her at home at 250-427-2018. You can also call Stan at 250520-0055.

Albert Hoglund seeks tenth term C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Although Councillor Albert Hoglund is seeking his tenth term as a Kimberley City Councillor, he doesn’t necessarily think people should vote for him just because he is experienced.

“I think you try to do your best for the community no matter what your

level of experience is,” he said. “I’m running again because I just enjoy doing it. I don’t mind all the meetings.

I feel like I’m representing 6600 people at every meeting.

“I’ve been retired since 2001 and I feel I have the time and energy to continue on.”

Hoglund says that he is certainly aware of all the talk about fiscal responsibility. See HOGLUND , Page 5

Rotary club raising polio awareness T r e vo r C r aw l e y Townsman Staff

Cranbrook is doing its part to recognize World Polio Day, which falls on Friday, Oct. 24, as the Sunrise Rotary Club gears up to fundraise for vaccinations overseas.

Though Friday is the official day, the club will be present at the Kootenay Ice game next Tuesday, Oct. 28, during a contest against the Prince Albert Raiders to show off an iron lung and raise money for overseas vaccination.

The club will have a presence at the game with the option to make donations and the chance to see the iron lung — a medical device that enables a person to breathe when normal muscle control has been lost or the work of breathing exceeds the person’s ability.

“Five years ago, our club, Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary, refurbished an iron lung that was used to treat polio victims, so that’s one of the

we’re going to be doing, is when people make a donation, we’re going to mark their pinky with purple.

“That’s something that they do when they’re doing polio vaccines worldwide, is once a child has been vaccinated, they mark their pinky, so they know that the child has been done.”

For a minimum donation, people will also be able to climb inside the iron lung.

Poliomyelitis, more

commonly known as polio, is an acute, viral infection disease that spreads through water or fecal contamination that causes inflammation of the grey matter in the spinal cord that can extend to the brainstem and can cause apnea.

The vaccination effort holds a special place for Vanden Broek, who traveled to Pakistan with his wife in February 2013 to participate in an immunization campaign for

two weeks.

They were based out of Lahore, where they went to places like local schools to administer vaccinations.

“We did a bunch of vaccinations, went to the schools and did vaccinations, so it was pretty interesting to see,” said Vanden Broek.

“We also saw what they call the ‘draggers’ — those are polio victims. Basically, for a lot of Pakistanis, if you get polio, that’s it, you’re

useless, your family gives up on you. These are people — imagine driving down the Strip here — and they’re just dragging themselves down the street.”

Polio, which has a propensity to affect children, became a pandemic in the first half of the 20th century, until a vaccine was developed in the late 1950s. Now, the virus is all but eradicated.

However, there are still cases that are starting to flare up, mostly in

war-torn regions of Africa and Asia. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been able to track specific cases, noting a rise from 39 to 206 from this time last year.

Vanden Broek attributes the rise in polio cases due to pushback from Pakistani authorities, who are wary about the intentions of the vaccination campaigns, especially after the American CIA admitted to using such means for intelligence-gathering purposes.

“It’s a couple things,” Vanden Broek continued. “One of them is an outright refusal to allow the vaccinators in, shooting them, whatever. A lot of those areas, the police and the army are afraid to go into.

“Also, you still have a lot of the uneducated people there that talk about how it’s a plot by the West to sterilize their kids.”

According to Vanden Broek, polio has been largely contained to only Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria, however, a few cases have appeared in Syria due to the flood of refugees fleeing the violence between the government and Islamic State of the Levant (ISIL).

Thief snags three guns in broad daylight at Fernie Canadian Tire Sar ah Kucharski The Free Press

A male thief stole three guns and ammunition from Fernie’s Canadian Tire between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m. last Saturday.

The guns were non-restrictive firearms and Sgt. Lorne Craig of the Elk Valley RCMP

described the occurrence as a “brazen” theft.

“He went virtually undetected in front of staff until he was out the doors,” said Sgt. Craig. “We are in the process of reviewing video surveillance of the event, and it’s still under investigation.”

According to reports, the thief allegedly drilled into the gun cabinet and unscrewed the locks on the guns within minutes before making a quick getaway unseen.

“Due to the manner in which he did the theft, we’re probably looking at someone

who is experienced,” noted Sgt. Craig.

The thief was approximately six feet tall, wearing a dark jacket and ball cap.

If anyone has any information regarding the theft they are encouraged to contact the Elk Valley RCMP at 250-423-4404.

Cranbrook receives permit to cull 50 deer

Any cull would still need Council approval Arne Petryshen

The Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations has granted the city a permit that allows for a population reduction of the urban deer herd anytime between Dec. 1, 2014 to March 15, 2015.

“That permit allows us to reduce the population by 50 animals,” noted CAO Wayne Staudt at Monday night’s city council meeting.

Staudt pointed out that the permit is just one part of the process, and a move for a cull would still have to come from council decision.

That process would also include a deer population count by the Urban Deer Management Committee.

The count is planned for this fall though no date has been set as of yet.

Coun.

Denise Pallesen asked wheth-

er the city had a contractor lined up for a cull. Staudt said the city did not.

“Council hasn’t even decided whether we would proceed with any reduction of the herd using this permit or not,” Staudt said.

“So we have not contracted this out or request for proposal at this time.”

Coun. Angus Davis noted jokingly that from his count, the deer population is thriving.

“Just as an item of information I want you to know that the 11th Avenue herd — ­ all five generations of it — are doing well,” Davis said.

He noted the herd is often in his yard.

The city made the permit application to the province after an unanimous approval of council at the July 14, 2014 meeting.

Mayor Wayne Stetski was quick to point out at that meeting that even if the permits are granted, it will likely be up to the next sitting council to approve any culls. The municipal election is Nov. 15, which means there is only one more council meeting on Nov. 3, be-

fore then.

In February 2013 council approved a cull of 30 deer, with plans to cull more in the fall of 2013. However the cull was canceled upon recommendations from the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee.

The committee recommended canceling because the number of complaints about urban deer was down from the year before.

The committee focused on areas where they had public safety concerns with the deer.

Back in November of 2011, Cranbrook conducted the first cull in the East Kootenay communities. Cranbrook culled 25 urban deer — 11 white-tail and 14 mule — using clover traps.

Kimberley culled 100 deer in January 2012, and Invermere was set to cull 100 deer in February 2012 before a court injunction put a hold on the plans.

Eventually Invermere was able to cull 19 deer before its permit expired.

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

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

Cranbrook considers scooters Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

They can dash from sidewalk to street, but are mobility scooters a vehicle or a pedestrian?

That question arose in a recent council meeting and city staff was back with an answer on Friday.

“There was a question last council meeting about scooters and what is the legal jurisdiction, and where to they fall,” CAO Wayne Staudt said. “Bylaw (Services) did some research and a scooter, according to RCMP information, is classified as a pedestrian. So they follow the rules as a pedestrian, whether they be on the sidewalk or the road or anywhere else.

“Because you are in a scooter, you are still considered a pedestrian and not a motor vehicle.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski noted the question does come up quite frequently, but also said the issue is one for the province to decide on.

Coun. Gerry Warner wasn’t so content with the idea of scooters as pedestrians.

“We all know that for all intensive purposes —and legally — bicycles are considered motor vehicles and have to adhere to all rules and regulations that vehicles do,” Warner said. “I’ve never seen a scooter with a set of lights.

“How did the RCMP reach the conclusion that scooters are closer

Beginning promptly at 7:00pm, Canadian health experts on both sides of the fluoride debate will address the public with the presentation being moderated by David Walls, President and CEO of the College of the Rockies. The speakers will be available to meet the public and the media to respond to questions for the remainder of the evening. The speakers are: •

Dr. Alastair Nicoll of the BC Dental Association and an area dentist who will discuss the advantages of adding fluoride to the public water system.

•

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

The City of Cranbrook’s website also provides public information about the fluoride electoral assent question, the history of water fluoridation in Cranbrook and a place to learn more about fluoride with links to studies, reports and opinions around the pros and cons of water fluoridation. Visit www. cranbrook.ca/fluoride for more information.

City of Cranbrook Public Works water crews will be replacing a water main valve on 2nd Street South between 15th Avenue South and 17th Avenue South on Friday October 24, 2014 from 8:00am and 4:00pm. As a result, that portion of 2nd Street South will be closed to all traffic during the replacement work. Detours will be in effect.

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

in essence to human beings with legs, when they have four wheels themselves and have motor means of power, be it electricity or whatever and can scoot all over. I think that’s fundamentally wrong.”

Stetski said that would be a question for the Attorney General.

“I don’t think we can answer that here tonight,” Stetski said.

Warner said they should write a letter to the Attorney General as a council and ask for an explanation.

“It certainly doesn’t make sense to me,” Warner continued.

“Scooters can go faster than people walk.”

Warner noted that he’d once ridden one for a story he was covering back when he was a reporter.

“It could go up to 15 kilometres.

People don’t walk at that speed and to me that makes them closer to a vehicle then it does to a pedes-

trian.”

Warner said the problem is that there aren’t always sidewalks available to the scooter users so they have to go into traffic. He said having it both ways isn’t a safe situation.

The issue was brought up at the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting two years ago, but the delegates chose not to take any action.

Coun. Diana J. Scott said the bicycles and scooters differ in one big way.

“The scooter is the person’s legs. That’s why they are using it,” Scott said. “And the person should be on the sidewalk, because it’s safer. The wheels act as the person’s way to get around. Bicycles should not be on the sidewalks on the other hand, they should be on the roads acting in the same fashion you would drive your car.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

TAKE NOTICE THAT The City of Kimberley is considering amendments to the City of Kimberley Official Community Plan and the Zoning Bylaw No. 1850.

The amendments are proposed to allow for future subdivision and development of a portion of land owned by the Kimberley Golf Club. The subject land comprises approximately 9.6 ha (23 ac) situated west of the existing golf course and east of the Riverside Campground and Homesteads development area between the St. Mary Lake Road and the St. Mary River.

Bylaw No. 2505 (Amendment No. 10, 2014 to the Official Community Plan) proposes to change the Planned Land Use Map by re-designating the subject land from “Golf Course” to “Low Density Residential”, “Open Space” and “Parkland.” The bylaw will also designate the subject land to be included in the Wildfire Hazard Development Permit Area.

Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 2505

Bylaw No. 2506 (Amendment No. 122, 2014 to Zoning Bylaw No. 1850) proposes to create a new “Low Density Residential: R-13” zone and to rezone the subject land from “Community Recreation Zone” P-3” to the new R-13 zone. The proposed intent of the R-13 zone is to allow for low density residential development while preserving significant open space and restricting use and development of natural hazard areas and environmentally sensitive lands.

Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 2506

Hoglund seeks tenth term From Page 1 “If you want to talk about fiscal responsibility, we are the only level of government that has to have a balanced budget.

“All we can do at budget time, is to ask our managers to prioritize the projects they’d like to see done.

“I don’t think anyone wants to see taxes go through the roof but in order to maintain a level of service, it must be paid for by taxes.”

This past term, Council had to deal with a number of large projects, such as the flume rehab, but Hoglund says that infrastructure has been on Council’s radar as long as he has been a part of it.

“We are no different than any other city in Canada in terms of aging infrastructure.

Before Kimberley was incorporated, Cominco looked after every-

thing and they put in what was sufficient for the day, and now a lot of it has to be replaced, which we are doing year by year.

“Our job as Council is to try to keep taxes as low as possible. Nobody wants to see taxes go up and everything is looked at in terms of operation expenses.

We do as much infrastructure work as our tax revenue will allow us to do and this past Council did increase water and sewer rates to try to build up some extra money for that.”

Hoglund says he would look forward to seeing the Sun Mine come to fruition and also wants to see the completion of the flume project and continue to serve all of Kimberley.

“I don’t belong to any special interest groups. My view is for all the citizens of Kimberley.”

The proposed bylaws 2505 & 2506 apply to a portion of land legally described as Lot 1, District Lots 2378, 2379, 6064, 7031 Kootenay District, Plan NEP21462 and shown in heavy bold outline on the above maps.

A Public Hearing for bylaws 2505 & 2506 will be held on Monday, October 27, 2014 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC. If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw, you may: a. Submit written presentations to City Hall prior to the hearing, or b. Submit written and/or verbal presentations at the hearing.

You may inspect the proposed amending bylaws and the supporting documentation at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC, from 8:30 am to 4:45 pm weekdays until the date of the hearing.

For further information, please contact the Manager Planning Services at City Hall, 250-427-9664 or tpollock@kimberley.ca.

The ultimate ensemble “You are the classiest ol’ scruff I know.”

Jill Warland

It

must really be Jim Dandy to be a dog or a cat. Just think about it for a moment as you decide what you should wear for your next activity. Cats and dogs, like most animals except we humans, are always dressed appropriately. This assumes, of course, that some misguided human hasn’t put stuff on them and made them look ridiculous.

No, animals are always ready to go. You don’t say,”Hey, Fido! Let’s go walkies, eh?” to have Fido reply with a glazed look in his eye, “Hang on a bit. I’ve got to change. What d’you think I should wear?

Does this look all right?” Not even female pets fuss about what apparel they should don on this or that occasion. They get up, stretch, and they’re off.

I have always wanted to be that way myself but, to start with, my parents always insisted that I wear some suitable apparel.

Somehow or other, they found difficult the concept of their boy-child taking off into the unknown stark naked.

Luckily, I was born way after that era when even boys had to suffer the indignity of a dress for a couple of years of their childhood but, once past ‘nappies’, I have been sternly instructed when it was appropriate to wear short pants, when to switch

to ‘longies’, when I should sport ‘plimsolls’ and when to use ‘welly boots’, and when highly polished dress shoes would be ‘au fait’.

Anyway, after long bouts of scratchy school uniforms — though not always uniformly — itchy cub uniforms, strangulating boy-scout uniforms with scarves, and RAF uniforms with those ridiculous polished buttons, I finally escaped into my favourite ensemble, usually described as ‘scruffy casual’.

I was expected to ‘tart up’ a tad when I got marPeter ried — families are funny way — to look preWarland that sentable whilst teaching in high school and whilst visiting doctors. Incidentally, I have no idea why this occurs; doctors apparently don’t give a fig what I am wearing; it’s the scrawny, naked thing underneath that fascinates them.

But clothes are useful, especially if they have pockets. Our ancient ancestors must have had an awful time trying to pack everything like stone tools and halves of woolly mammoths in their hands; even the Scots had to invent sporrans so they could carry stuff like haggis and bag-pipes.

Clothes are also useful if the weather becomes inclement, like forty below, so, over the decades I have created what I call ‘my ensemble’. It consists mainly of a T-shirt (looking into my clothes closet

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

these days is like pressing your eye to a kaleidoscope of T-shirts), underwear, socks, either long or short pants, and the appropriate footwear for walking in the hills, for skiing or for general grubbing about. In fact, one summer, I wore the very same clothes every day for a month. This involved some determined washing every evening but the system seemed perfect so¸ when two old friends proposed to visit us for a month one summer and asked what clothing they should bring, I set to work with a camera, a tripod and a very useful daughter.

I posed for pictures of myself dressed to climb in the Rockies, to water ski, to go yachting, to ride horses, to play tennis – with an ancient racquet plus dog-chewed balls – to snorkel and to travel by either bicycle or by car. I wanted to do a golf one but I had misplaced my archaic wooden shafted mashie niblick. In each photo, I sported the appropriate accoutrements plus my usual general purpose ensemble. I fired those pictures off to England before my friends boarded their plane at Heathrow.

Several years later, when we visited the U.K., we found those self-same pictures hung in our friends’ living room but now, thanks to the tenacity of our friends’ daughter, those photographs, probably fading and a trifle crinkled like me, are on show in the British Museum of Social Anthropology for all to see and admire. They appear to fascinate female visitors.

Cranbrook’s Jim Nichol takes his 1993 Subaru Impreza out for a rip last week as he prepares for the 2014 Rocky Mountain Rally, scheduled for Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in the Invermere/ Columbia Valley area.

Cruisin’ Kootenays

Cranbrook’s Jim Nichol & Rocky Mountain Rally chair Jim Blaber hope to grow racing in the region Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Rocky Mountain Rally is making a return to the Columbia Valley and for the second consecutive year, Cranbrook will be represented at the Canadian Rally Championship event.

Rally car driver Jim Nichol and co-driver Jeremy Friesen, both of Cranbrook, will be racing for the second time at the event, which runs Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in Invermere, B.C. “I’ve always been interested in motor sport,” Nichol said.

“I found out rally is in our own backyard. It’s here in the Kootenays.”

The Rocky Mountain Rally is one of six national rally races in the Canadian Rally Championship series. This is the second year the race will be run out of Invermere.

“Two years ago, we actually hit on Invermere as a key location,” said John Blaber, chair of the organizing committee and clerk of the course for the Rocky Mountain Rally.

“We’re looking to make this a long-term base for the rally. We’re looking to develop things with the towns,

with the communities and to really just expand it and make it an annual thing that everybody knows about.”

There are two rally distances drivers can compete in -- national and regional. Nichol will be competing in the regional rally distance, which features 117 kilometres over six stages.

The national rally stretches 185 km over 10 stages.

As of Oct. 21, there are 26 drivers registered to run in the race.

“There’s a lot to do.

You start early in the morning and you go until late at night,” said Nichol, who drives a modified 1993 Subaru Impreza. “I didn’t realize it would be so busy and there would be so much to do. There’s a lot to keep track of and I have my co-driver [Jeremy Friesen] with me.

“He tells me the gradient of the turns, how sharp the turns are and what to expect on the road. He also has to keep track of the timing.

We have to be at certain places at certain times and if you don’t get there at the right time, you get penalized.”

As far as he knows,

Nichol is the only rally car driver in the East Kootenay. Blaber hopes the sport will grow in the area with increasing attention on the Rocky Mountain Rally.

“People understand what rally is and they’re usually keen to learn more about it,” Nichol said. “It’s just they don’t know that it’s here. They don’t know that it’s close by and they can go and see it.”

The ceremonial start for the race will take place on Main Street in Invermere Oct. 31 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The rally officially gets underway at 11:30 a.m.

“Last year was the first year we were here in the Columbia Valley,” Blaber said. “We had to build the rally, find the roads. We worked very hard with the Ministry of Transportation and also the forestry departments, to find those roads.

“We purposely kept [the 2013 rally] low key because we just didn’t know what we were going to get…This year, we’ve focused more on the PR and spectator side of things. We’re working hard with the two towns of Invermere

and Radium. They’re coming out and supporting us in various ways.”

There are a variety of spectator locations scattered throughout the Columbia Valley with the first four stages of the event taking place Friday, Oct. 31. The first two stages of the event can be viewed along Westside Road south of Invermere. The third and fourth stages of the event

swoop further south between Canal Flats and Skookumchuck. Stages five through eight take place Saturday, Nov. 1 in and around the Radium area. Those wishing to take in the event are encouraged to follow the signs and directions of course marshals and volunteers.

“You can actually be standing no more than five or 10 metres from

the cars,” Blaber added. “[You can] see the whites of the [drivers’] eyes, is probably the best way to put it.”

The Rocky Mountain Rally was first run in 1973, organized by three separate Alberta car clubs -- the Edmonton Light Car Club, the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club and the Calgary Sports Car Club.

The 1974 edition of the

event saw racers drive from Jasper to Banff, racing approximately 1,500 km in three days.

The event has moved locations over the years, beginning in places such as Calgary, Edmonton and the Pincher Creek/Crowsnest Pass area.

The Calgary Sports Car Club is still involved in the presentation of the event to this very day.

‘Little things’ sink Ice in Prince Albert

Raiders claim late victory despite star performance from Hoflin; Ice move on to Saskatoon Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice dropped their sixth consecutive road game Tuesday night, falling to the Prince Albert Raiders 3-2 in front of 2,071 fans at Art Hauser Place.

“Little things that we’ve been harping on in practice that don’t seem to matter to the players are showing through,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone following the game.

“They can see the fact that the little things and the little details they have to do to be successful are the things that are letting us down right now.

“Hopefully this is a wake-up call.”

The loss dropped the Ice to 3-8-0-0 overall this season, and 1-6-0-0 on the road. The win improves the Raiders to 5-6-0-0.

The Ice got out to a quick start in Prince Albert, claiming a 2-0 lead before the game was even 10 minutes old.

Forwards Levi Cable and River Beattie scored back-to-back tallies less than three minutes apart to shock the hometown crowd before the mid-mark of the first period.

Beattie’s goal was the first of his WHL career and came off a nice feed from second-year forward Zak Zborosky.

After that, it was all Raiders.

Matteo Gennaro got the hosts to within one

before the end of the first period before Winnipeg Jets prospect Josh Morrissey knotted things 2-2 in the second period.

Offensive struggles and power-play struggles often go hand-inhand and that was the case in the third period Tuesday in Prince Albert.

After Jayden Hart put the Raiders ahead 3-2, over-age defenceman Sawyer Lange was given the gate for holding with 5:25 to play, handing the Ice a prime opportunity to tie the game on the man advantage.

“Our execution just isn’t where it needs to be right now on the power play,” McGill said. “So we need to work on that.”

The Ice came up empty-handed on their third power-play chance of the night.

“When you have a good game plan, you’ve got to execute,” McGill said. “Unfortunately, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him wear a bathing suit. “[The players] have to execute the plays themselves.”

Wyatt Hoflin once again give his team a chance to win, turning aside 33 of the 36 shots sent his way in a performance worthy of the second star of the night.

At the other end of the rink, Nick McBride blocked 28 of 30 shots for the win.

As it was the last time the Ice ventured out to Saskatchewan, the team

NOTICE OF MAINTENANCE POWER OUTAGE MARYSVILLE AND KIMBERLEY

faces a quick turnaround between games.

Kootenay moves on to face the Saskatoon Blades (3-7-0-0) tonight at 7 p.m.

“We’ve got to look at ourselves in the mirror, execute plays, be determined and have a second effort around the net,” McGill said. “We’ve got to do all the little things right.

“Our goalie was a star again tonight and our goalie needs to stop being a star. Our team needs to be a star.”

Saskatoon rang up three wins in a row before the Edmonton Oil Kings visited Credit Union Centre Oct. 18 and put a stop to the Blades’ winning streak with a 6-4 defeat.

Despite travelling with the team, forward Tim Bozon missed Tuesday’s contest in Prince Albert and isn’t scheduled to play tonight in Saskatoon due to a lower-body injury. He is expected to be ready when

injury. He is also expected to be unavailable for one to two weeks.

“When you put Rinat [Valiev] into the lineup and you put Tim Bozon into the lineup, everybody falls to where they need to play,” McGill said.

Forward Vince Loschiavo returned to the lineup for the first time since suffering an upper-body injury Oct. 8 in Regina.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A few years ago, I obtained a quote from a company for a manufacturing service. My business ended up not using them.

Two months later, I received an invitation from this company to an open house.

I initially thought, “How nice.” However, on reading further, it said a religious organization would give a presentation and donations would be encouraged. I felt I was being used.

Within the week, I received a follow-up call regarding the original quote. I informed them that their prices were not in our range, and at some point during the conversation, I gently mentioned that I thought the open house invitation was in poor taste. I probably should have been more diplomatic, but I thought the person on the other end could use some constructive criticism. In return, I was blasted. It turns out she was the daughter of the owner. In yelling at me, she also said that one of her sisters suffers from a genetic birth defect and that the presentation was to raise funds for the disease.

After all this time, it still bothers me. I just figured this family-owned business was giving jobs to relatives who perhaps were unaware of appropriate business practices.

Was it OK for this company to use its business contacts to try to raise funds for a charity this way? -- A Reader Dear Reader: First of all, if the religious presentation was to raise funds for a specific medical cause, it should have been stated on the original invitation. Otherwise, people could easily get the wrong idea, as you did.

And while we cannot blame a family for wanting to reach out to as many contacts as possible, it was inappropriate to use their minor business contact with you to solicit funds for a personal charity. But it would have been better had you not chastised the company employee over the phone, even with good intentions. A simple “yes” or “no” to the invitation would have sufficed, and then this wouldn’t be bothering you years later. Please try to let it go.

Dear Annie: My sister lives 30 minutes away. We all pile into my parents’ car for the ride. The problem is, my sister serves disgusting food: fish that’s not fresh, and salad drenched in dressing that she makes hours in advance, so it gets soggy. She covers the table in glitter, which gets into the food.

Bringing a dish is not allowed.

I usually eat lunch before going so I won’t be hungry. When my sister asks why I’m not eating, I make some excuse. What should I do? I don’t want to say her cooking is horrible. Should I just put up with it? -- Big City Dear Big City: How often do you go? If it’s less than once a month, we’d put up with it.

How sensitive is your sister to criticism? If you go every week, you might offer to bring a dish by saying, “You host so often, I feel guilty not helping out. I insist on bringing the salad.” Your sister may also learn (in time) to be a better cook and get the glitter off the table. Right now, she’s still trying to impress you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Salem, Ore.,” the couple wondering how to tell friends and family not to buy them Christmas gifts. Years ago, our parents told us the same thing. They asked that instead of buying for them, we buy for someone else.

Many stores in our area have a “giving tree.”

Each ornament has a gift idea and a child’s age and size. I was thrilled to find a tag for a little girl who wanted Barbie doll clothes, as I make those. The gifts are then taken to the area social services to be distributed. The stores are also involved with the food pantry at our church. There are so many people in need. -- Giving Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Each office independently owned and operated.

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

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

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

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

That’s not changing.

The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day.

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

“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly.

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

“Major pubishers and media buyers agree— strong readership gures are testament to improved product.

Afghanistan produces more than 80% of the world’s illicit opium, with profits helping fund the Taliban.

Poppy cultivation hit record high in Afghanistan in 2013 Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan grew to an all-time high in 2013 despite America spending more than $7 billion to fight it over the past decade, a U.S. report showed on Tuesday.

Federal auditors SIGAR reported that Afghan farmers grew an unprecedented 209,000 hectares of the poppy in 2013, blowing past the previous peak of 193,000 hectares in 2007.

As of June 30, 2014, the report said, the United States had spent approximately $7.6 billion on counter-narcotics efforts in Afghanistan.

One factor for the surge was affordable deep-well technology, which over the past decade turned 200,000 hectares of desert in southwestern Afghanistan into arable land much of which is now being used for poppy cultivation.

Nangarhar province in the east, and other provinces, once declared “poppy

free,” have seen a resurgence in cultivation. Nangarhar had been considered a model for successful counterinsurgency and counter-narcotics efforts and was deemed “poppy free” by the U.N. in 2008. It however saw a fourfold increase in opium poppy cultivation between 2012 and 2013.

An Afghan government official says that Taliban and opium smugglers are fighting for the income of opium in different parts of the country, while cultivation takes place mostly in the south and southwest where insurgents are highly active and the government has little influence.

“The recent fights in Helmand and other provinces of the country are in fact the fight against opium,” Afghan Counter Narcotics Minister Mubarez Rashedi told the country’s upper house of parliament. “The big opium smugglers alongside the Taliban are fighting against the Afghan government.”

Ancient stone suggests Jews revolted against Romans over harsh measures Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israeli archaeologists said Tuesday they have discovered a large stone with Latin engravings that lends credence to the theory that the reason Jews revolted against Roman rule nearly 2,000 ago was because of their harsh treatment.

Israel’s Antiquities Authority said the stone bears the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian and the year of his visit to Jerusalem, a few years before the failed Bar Kochba revolt in the second century A.D. The inscription backs up historical accounts that Rome’s Tenth Legion was present in Jerusalem in the run-up to the revolt.

The cause of the Jewish revolt, which result-

Garo Nalbandian/Museum of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum

Dedication to Emperor Hadrian on a stone piece. ed in their exile, is disputed. It is unclear whether they rose up independently or were provoked by harsh Roman measures, but the presence of the legion would give credence to the latter.

Hadrian is reviled in Jewish history for imposing dictates aimed at persecuting Jews and forcing them to aban-

don their religion.

Along with Jewish accounts, the history of the Bar Kochba revolt is also known from the works of Roman historian Cassius Dio, who mentions that Hadrian visited Jerusalem in 129 A.D., three years before the revolt erupted.

The stone was found outside Jerusalem’s Old City.

A Swedish naval vessel Visby searches the Stockholm archipelago

Hunt exposes gap in Sweden’s anti-submarine capabilities Associated Press

The search for a foreign underwater craft in waters off Stockholm has brought back memories of Sweden’s submarine hunts during the Cold War — and exposed a key difference.

Back then Sweden actually had a robust anti-submarine force.

Sweden, which is not a NATO member, has downsized its military significantly since the Iron Curtain fell and has scrapped some of the resources it used to hunt for Soviet submarines, in-

cluding helicopters equipped with sonar and anti-submarine weapons.

The military says the helicopters used in the current search don’t have that equipment.

As the search continued for the fifth day on Tuesday, the deputy operations commander condemned the undersea activity in Swedish waters.

“It’s extremely serious that we’re searching for something or someone who has violated Sweden’s territorial integrity,” Rear Adm. Anders Grenstad told

reporters in Stockholm.

He said the military had received reports of two more sightings in addition to three recorded on Sunday but did not want to speculate on the type of vessel or object in question.

Earlier Tuesday, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said that Sweden’s military “needs to improve its capacity.” He cited Russia’s increasing military activity in the region but added that “we do not regard that as an immediate threat to Sweden.”

Carving up Ukraine?

Polish ex-foreign minister Sikorski under fire over Putin remarks Associated Press

Poland’s former Foreign Miland’s former Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski came under fire Tuesday from the prime minister and political opponents over a U.S. magazine interview in which he allegedly said Russia’s president offered Poland the opportunity to jointly carve up Ukraine in 2008.

Sikorski, now the parliamentary speaker, was quoted as saying in Sunday’s issue of Politico Magazine that Russian President Vladimir Putin “wanted us to become participants in this partition of Ukraine.”

He said Putin made the offer to then Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Moscow in 2008.

Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, described Sikorski’s

comments as false.

“First, we don’t know much about the work of this publication,” Peskov told Russian news website Gazeta.ru. “In general, this information seems like a fable.”

In a news conference on Tuesday, Sikorski was vague about whether he made those exact remarks to Politico Magazine and told journalists to refer to another interview he gave to a Polish media website. He said there that he didn’t hear Putin’s words firsthand, but stressed that they were treated in 2008 as “surrealistic” or a joke.

Later in the day, he held a second news conference where he said his memory had failed him in the interview with Politico Magazine and that the bilat-

eral meeting between Tusk and Putin didn’t take place in Moscow, as he said earlier, but at the NATO summit in Bucharest in April 2008.

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, who’s in the same party as Sikorski, criticized him for dodging reporters’ questions on the issue at the first conference. Political opponents want him fired, saying there is no room in politics for what they called irresponsibility.

Kopacz said she expected Sikorski to directly answer reporters’ questions.

“I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour. I will not tolerate this kind of standards that Speaker Sikorski tried to present at today’s (news) conference,” Kopacz said.
