The Charity Challenge Boxing Event goes this Saturday at the Eagles Hall. This year’s challengers are ready to slug it out after training with Tom White of the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club.

Upon returning the next day, the two were unable to find any sign of a wounded elk.

throughout he bush, the men were charged by an adult male grizzly bear. With little time to react, the bear was on top of Lloyd, brutally biting and mauling him. While fighting the attacking bear, Lloyd yelled to his son in law to shoot the grizzly.

Alan MacBean, seeking a seat on Cranbrook City Council in the upcoming Nov. 15 election, wants to thank everyone who is running for office locally.

“We are fortunate to live in such an enthusiastic democracy,” said MacBean, who recently moved to Cranbrook — “the best place in B.C.” A decade after moving back to his childhood home on Pender Island, some house prices on Pender had increased fourfold in eight years, MacBean said.

For the photographers, it’s “Waterfall Season,” which presents itself twice a year, in the spring and fall. Low water levels offer good opportunities for interesting contrasting photos. The water is slow and low enough to expose the unique contours of the river. Added to that a slow exposure and you end up with an eye pleasing “soft water” look. Fall photos offer even more detail when the fallen leaves add color and natural effect. Gerry Frederick of Cranbrook took this picture up at Mark Creek Falls recently.

Cranbrook, you’re being challenged!

On Monday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., residents of Cranbrook are being challenged to drop food off at Cranbrook Family Connections; to be distributed to local organizations who provide food to locals in need.

Who’s challenging you? Well, for the moment it’s not quite clear.

They are the organizers of the “Dinner in White” Charity Fundraiser; and they are choosing to remain anonymous.

The “Dinner in White” Charity Fundraiser will be held in June, 2015. It appears that details about the event and the organizers will remain secret for some time also.

“Mystery is the name of the game”, said one of the organizers. “In coming months, all diners will know is the date and time of the event, and of course how to obtain a table. They will also be asked to dress in white on the day of the event. They won’t even be permitted to know the location of the event, until they reach their ‘table leader’ on the day of the event.

While the details of the event are a mystery, they should expect an evening beyond anything they’ve ever experienced.”

The event is meant to raise awareness about local food access issues.

“We’re doing this to raise awareness of food access issues in the Regional District of the East Kootenay. It’s a very real issue,” said the organizer. “Some of our neighbors cannot access the food they need for themselves and their children. Unfortunately, some of community is too far removed to recognize that it’s happening in Cranbrook.

It’s not their fault; they just don’t happen to see it.”

The organizers started planning Dinner in White in September, but a plea for help from the Cranbrook Women’s Centre made the organizers realize that there is an urgent need for awareness and support.

On October 6, Denise Stewart requested, from City Council, financial support for the Cranbrook Women’s Centre to purchase food. Cranbrook Council responded with a donation of $300. At the meeting, Councilor Angus Davis implored community to support the centre. Unfortunately, the call to community wasn’t heard far enough.

“I spoke to Denise Stewart, coordinator of the Cranbrook Women’s Centre. Two weeks later, there was still little impact as a result of meeting with Council,” said the organizer. “We are excited about our upcoming fundraising event next June, but we recognized that our actions needed to be more

immediate. So we’ve decided to challenge Cranbrook in the meantime!”

It was for this reason that the organizers decided to call directly on community. They decided that they would go to every local media outlet.

“We are going to make sure that every resident of Cranbrook is aware that food access is an issue”, said the organizer. “We’re going to be vocal, to ensure that local organizations have enough food going into the holiday season. The food donated as a part of this challenge will be distributed amongst local organizations that provide food access to low income individuals and families”.

Residents are challenged to drop off food or financial resources to Cranbrook Family Connections (209-16th Avenue North, next to Core Fitness) between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday, November 3. Those responding to the challenge are encouraged to drop off any of the following: • Root vegetables with long cellar life, such as squash, potatoes, carrots, onions, etc.

• Fresh meat and dairy products that can be frozen.

• Non-perishable food items.

• Cash and/or gift cards.

Cranbrook City Council

Canada Post says it’s taking mobility issues seriously Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Canada Post sent a letter to council talking about its planned conversion away from door to door and into community mailboxes over the next five years.

Canada Post wrote

that they have “developed a process to help ensure Canadians with disabilities and seniors continue to have access to their mail after they transition to a (Community Mail Box).”

At Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Wayne

Stetski said the good news is initially both he and the rest of council were concerned about how seniors and people with disabilities would access their mail boxes if they had mobility issues.

“It looks like that’s

been highlighted for them across the country as something they need to take seriously and to provide some accommodation forward,” he said. “So I guess we’ll see what that actually looks like in the end.”

Coun. Angus Davis was still quite concerned.

“I’m old and I know a lot of old people. I know there are a lot of these people that still feel very uncomfortable in certain kinds of weather having to walk a block or two to get their mail,” Davis said. “Probably, it’s easy to say how you should be able to react to it, but until you get old and get a little bit shakier on your feet.”

Davis said the ones figuring it out have it

ting older might instigate.

“When these people say there’s a problem, there is a problem,” Davis said.

Stetski agreed with him.

“I think we do need to keep an eye on how this looks on the ground, because what they’re saying so far is that they recognize that seniors and people with disabilities are different and they are going to figure out a way to accommodate them,” said Stetski.

Coun. Sharon Cross said one of her concerns was with how it would affect the municipality.

“In terms of placement and snow clearing, who’s going to be responsible for that?” she asked. “I guess those

I know there are a lot of [elderly] people that still feel very uncomfortable in certain kinds of weather having to walk a block or two to get their mail.

Probably, it’s easy to say how you should be able to react to it, but until you get old and get a little bit shakier on your feet.”

Angus Davis down to the feet and inches, but maybe not the difficulties that get-

are some of the unanswered question municipalities are going to have.”

CAO Wayne Staudt said many today don’t get home delivery.

“I’d be surprised if more than 50 per cent of people in this town get home delivery,” Staudt said.

Coun. Gerry Warner said he has noticed a lot of homes displaying the “Save door to door delivery” signs on their lawns.

“Despite the PR barrage by Canada Post, there’s people who want to keep their door to door delivery,” he said.

Warner also wondered why Canada Post didn’t move to three days a week instead of moving to none.

Fund set up to help family after grizzly bear attack Continued from page 1 Podrasky emptied his gun into the bear shooting three times The wounded grizzly ceased the attack momentarily, running into the surrounding brush. Podrasky, now out of ammunition, found Lloyd’s rifle as the enraged animal charged again, shooting him several more times to end the attack.

In the chaos of the moment, one of the initial three shots inadvertently struck Lloyd in the thigh.

Family friend Darrell Orth notes Podrasky’s actions saved Lloyd’s life

along with the first responders, including Fernie Ambulance, Search and Rescue, STAR Air Ambulance and Podrasky’s cousin, Jennifer and her husband Andrew.

Lloyd, 55, will be unable to return to his taxidermy business in Cranbrook during his recovery from his injuries. Friends have set up an online fund for those wishing to assist the family at this time.

Recent information from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure places several stretches of Highway 3 and Highway 93 in the top ten list of highway corridors where high numbers of wildlife collisions occur.

The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program offers the following hints for the highway.

• Both drivers and passengers must actively watch for wildlife on the road and roadside area.

• People think of the road as a dangerous place, but, in fact, animals are often attracted to the road and roadside area. Drive expecting to see wildlife.

• During the rutting season animals are frequently on the move, and vehicles might be the last thing on their minds!

• Animals don’t think or perceive danger the same way that humans do. They may not recognize a vehicle as dangerous or a horn as a warning, or even if they do, they may not react safely.

• Animals are unpredictable in their behaviour and may bolt in front of a vehicle or cross and then immediately re-cross the road.

• Deer are often seen in groups, so if there is one animal there are usually more. The deer you are watching may not be the one that poses

News and Notes from Wildsafe BC

Bears still active: Secure your Garbage Sonja Seher

Recent Wildlife Sightings: Black bear sightings and sign were observed near Elizabeth Lake. A black bear sow and two cubs were seen accessing garbage in Southview. A similar instance was reported near Elizabeth Lake. A black bear was found feeding on fruit trees in the New Lakes area.

Did you know that unsecured garbage is the number one attractant for bears in BC? Please ensure that your garbage is stored in a closed shed, garage, porch, mudroom or basement until collection day. Place your garbage to the street in a canister no earlier than the morning of collection.

If your household waste becomes too much to store before your neighbourhood’s collection day, take it to the local waste transfer station. Remember that low volumes of household waste are accepted free of charge! Both Cranbrook and Kimberley Transfer Stations are open 7 days a week, 8:30 am– 5:30 pm.

It’s the end of the season for fruit trees in Cranbrook. Remember that unpicked or uncollected fruit is a wildlife attractant. If your area permits it, consider installing an electric fence around fruit trees to protect them from harvest and damage by wild animals. For up-to-date installation guidelines for electric fencing for the purpose of wildlife exclusion, visit www.wildsafebc.com/electric-fencing.

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

MacBean running for Council Continued from page 1

“High housing prices destroy communities, as young people cannot afford appropriate homes, so they cannot afford to reproduce, at least not on purpose.

“We decided to leave, and because we wanted to live somewhere where our sons might have more opportunities, I looked up every town in B.C. that had at least a college, and my wife and eldest son visited almost every one. I also called realtors who gave them personal tours. We concluded that Cranbrook was the best place in B.C., relative to real estate values. Considering all that it has to offer, it is one of the best communities at any price.”

However, MacBean still sees areas where improvements could be made.

“Could it be better? Of course it could. I have read the city budget and way too many reports. I used to work for the government and am on the boards of four charities, so I am used to reading.

There are always ways to be more efficient, and property taxes here are very high.

“You could vote to reduce

taxes for your own sake,” MacBean adds, “but I would humbly suggest something else. What is outstanding about Cranbrook is that you can have children and grandchildren living in the same neighbourhood as yours, almost unheard of on the Coast.”

MacBean says the “something else” would be to deliberately invest time, energy and money in the lives of younger people.

“I am planning to be a senior, and am happy with that prospect, given the alternative. I do not expect to have anything like the challenges that our grandchildren are likely to have. Being more careful with tax money, and even deliberately reducing our own demands, leaves a little more behind for others.”

MacBean described the details of one charity in which his family is engaged which could serve as a model for local business development.

“We are currently in the later stages of planning a building that will run almost entirely on solar and geothermal energy, using off the shelf products, which cost

less than a conventional furnace.

Cranbrook is the sunniest city in BC, well suited to solar power. It is also great for geothermal heating and cooling, given the large temperature difference between winter and summer. Perhaps Cranbrook could encourage businesses in these fields.

MacBean also had comments about the recent meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

“I must mention that I really love the oil business, for a very personal reason, since my late father in law was an oil engineer.

My sons owe their very existence to Royal Dutch Shell.

“Having said that, I believe it is reasonable that communities are concerned about dangerous cargoes, and Canadian oil could be processed in Canada into Canadian products, with far less danger and far less contribution to climate change. If that did happen and ten of thousands of jobs were created in Canada, there would be many towns needed for shift workers, flying in and out as they do now to the oil patch.

Cranbrook could offer to house a few more families.”

Invermere mayor challenged on Jumbo stance at Invermere Council meeting Steve Hubrecht Invermere Valley Echo

An Invermere resident questioned Invermere mayor Gerry Taft’s stance on the municipality at the most recent Invermere council meeting.

Brandishing a copy of the Valley Echo and referencing its front page story about Mr. Taft’s motion at the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) meeting criticizing municipalities without residents at the Oct. 14 Invermere council meeting, audience member Mike Gagne pointedly asked Mr. Taft why he introduced such a motion.

“How does it benefit Invermere to take these (anti-Jumbo municipality) positions?” said Mr. Gagne.

Mr. Taft responded that the motion grew out of his frustration at what he sees as the discrepancy between the province saying it doesn’t have enough money to help fund municipal projects such as Invermere’s new multi-use centre and the province then giving $200,000 a year in grant money to Jumbo municipality, as well as his belief that the process of creating Jumbo municipality was wrong.

“Whether or not you agree with having a ski resort up there, there’s no question in my mind that setting that up should follow the same process that other ski resorts in the East Kootenay have been through, with rezoning decisions made by elected officials at the regional district.”

Mr. Taft said that in making the motion at the UBCM meeting, he was simply doing what the majority of his constituents would support him doing on the Jumbo issue.

“My issue is around the municipality,” said Mr. Taft. “I’ve done everything I can do to raise awareness about how more than $1 million of public money is being spent to set up a municipality in order to circumvent the normal regional district zoning process that other ski areas in the East Kootenay go through.

“Invermere has more to gain from this project than any other town. These positions you take are not in the best interest of Invermere,” responded Mr. Gagne, adding that Mr. Taft’s moves could quite possibly end up hurting businesses here and that future efforts to, for instance, get Jumbo municipality to throw in funding for valley-wide projects will fall on deaf ears.

“I would hope that they (Jumbo governments officials) wouldn’t be so vindictive as to say you’ll never get any money ever, since you pissed us off on this one issue,” responded Mr. Taft.

Councillor Greg Anderson said the motion presented at the UBCM started during an Invermere council — where not all councillors agreed with it, but a majority did — so it went on the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Goverment (AKBLG) meeting, where a majority again agreed with the motion, so it then went on the UBCM.

Banished beyond Verona’s walls Romeo: What news? What is the Prince’s doom?

Friar: A gentler judgement vanished from his lips — Not body’s death, but banishment.

Romeo: Banishment? Be merciful, say ‘death’; For exile hath more terror in his look, much more than death.

Friar: Hence from Verona art thou banishéd. Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.

Romeo: There is no world without Verona walls, but purgatory, torture, hell itself. Hence banishéd is banished from the world, and world’s exile is death.

(After some more of this, Romeo adds): Thou cut’st my head off with a golden axe!

(From “Romeo and Juliet”)*

W

ho knew, that the ancient punishments would be so effective? Everything old is new again.

“Exile” is such an old world word, that we don’t really use anymore. We don’t know what it means, “exile” (forced expulsion from one’s home), in our age of mobility. But, as it turns out, exile can still pack a lot of emotional punch — and not the good kind of emotional punch — as poor Romeo discovered 400 and some years ago. Not to mention Napoleon, the last Shah of Iran, the Roman poet Ovid …

No one is happy in exile, not even in “self-imposed exile.” (Leaving the farm or the old hometown as soon as you’re old enough and heading straight for the big city doesn’t count as self-imposed exile, no matter how unhappy you may find yourself there. You can always go back home, no matter how unhappy that may make you.)

In a recent case, a young man was ban-

ished from the fair city of Kamloops for two years on top of his four-month prison sentence (criminal harassment of his girlfriend’s family, uttering threats, assault — see story, Page B2). His lawyer subsequently argued that the banishment was unconstitutional. But another judge upheld the banishment, and so beyond Kamloops’ walls was he exiled, into the world Barry with all its terrors, far the familiar cusCoulter from toms, language, traditions and feast days of fair Kamloops.

One could hear him shriek at the judge: “Send me back to jail, but banishéd is banished from the world, and world’s exile is death.”

You could almost hear him shriek at his lawyer: “Thou cut’st my head off with a golden axe!”

There was another recent case — a young man banished from the city of Nelson. The court subsequently overturned that sentence, after his plaintive cries of dismay could be heard as far as Trail.

Turns out the world was too broad and wide for that young man. Now that’s deterence!

This is an exciting new development in crime and punishment. Similarly, as 400 years ago troublemakers were placed in the stocks, now our more humane modern jurists order them to wear signs and walk around (“I Am A Serial Restaurant Diner-And-Dasher”). As an added humane plus, the heaving of rotten fruit at these culprits by the village idiots is also now punishable by law.

Our judicial system may have its flaws, but it is ever evolving and improving. We take what worked in the past and reject

what didn’t.

For instance, individual exile, as noted above, seems to really strike a chord. But we must be wary of taking the whole process too far, to the other, darker side of the coin, like the Brits did.

The British were champion banishers.

They had it down to a system — Transportation. The people they didn’t like were at first dumped in America, until all those indentured servants and Highland Scots formed their own country. Mother England could then transport you to Australia for the rest of your unhappy life, for the crime of stealing a pocket handerchief.

And they did so en masse, until the Australians forged their own national identity. I bet the English wish they had some of those transportees back.

If Canada were to adopt transportation as a punishment, the only really available destination would be the Arctic — which come to think of it, might be an idea worth exploring. See more, next week. * Shakespeare, by the way, quoted above, wrote Romeo and Juliet at a very turbulent time for the English. Roman Catholicism was outlawed in England under Elizabeth I. To practice Catholicism was not only illegal, but to not actively profess Protestantism could lead to heavy fines or imprisonment. To be a Catholic priest, especially a Jesuit, was punishable by death, after a lot of hideous torture. There was a lot of exile in Shakespeare’s day. And his family, it is believed, were secret Catholic sympathizers. The playwright could write about banishment with an especial poignancy.

Opinion/Events

I noticed in Wednesday’s Daily Townsman (October 1) there was a full page supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I thought it important to mention that October is also Brain Tumour Awareness Month.

Every day in Canada, 27 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour.

According to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, brain tumours are the leading cause of solid cancer death in children under the age of 20. They are the third leading cause of solid cancer death in young adults ages 20-39.

Because brain tumours are located at the control centre for thought, emotion, and movement, they can dramatically affect an individual’s physical and cognitive abilities and quality of life.

Two years ago our daughter, who was 25 years old at the time, was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer. She has had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, and still takes chemotherapy five days every month.

Brain cancer incidence is on the rise yet treatment is limited and not terribly effective.

The awareness campaigns for breast cancer have been very successful. Donations to this worthy cause have funded research and contributed to the many advances that have been made in the treatment of breast cancer.

I’d love to see brain cancer get the same sort of support so we can beat this horrible disease.

To donate, or for more information on brain tumours, go to www.braintumour. ca.

Deer concerns Well, Mr. Mayor and Council Members, who is still in the position to make decisions for the City of Cranbrook? You, or the future elected Council?

If you are going to pass the buck why bother to have the last Council meeting?

You could simply cancel it.

With regard to the deer problem, which you refuse to acknowledge, let me tell you what I encountered this week. I was walking down Kootenay Street from 30th Avenue North as three deer came stampeding down the hill, roared across the road toward Rotary Way and then who knows where. Luckily I was a short

distance away. I shudder to think what could have happened had I, or a motor vehicle been in their path. What spooked them? A cougar maybe?

Then again today my husband saw a very mature buck make its way down the same road. Well its only rutting season, why worry?

Maybe next Council has more concern for Cranbrook¹s citizens.

Reserve Fund Thank you to Mayor McRae for outlining in detail on Page 4, October 21 in the Daily Bulletin how the City Reserve fund has been decimated in this current election year from $435,000 to $29,000 after the Bavarian Esso building demolition.

Hopefully voters will feel comforted by the size of what little remains in the fund before the next contingency requirement hits the new Council.

Yep, thank you for almost emptying the Reserve Fund.

is a majestic orchestral recording guaranteed to transport the listener to a world outside of our time and space.

From the final product, the listener would never know the musicians were not in the same room at the time of recording. The Youtube videos show the individual musicians playing their parts in this amazing online collaborative project.

I’ve wondered what it would be like to be part of such a effort. Since I don’t play an instrument, I suppose I could volunteer to ting on a triangle, or shake a few bells, or perhaps vocalize ‘ooo’s’ and ‘ah’s’.

I’ve imagined practising a part, unsure of how it’s going to fit into the overall composition. I’d count out measures and ting the triangle as required, either loudly or softly depending on the directions. I’d do the best I can and then listen to my recording wondering how that occasional ting fits into everyone else’s part. However, that’s not my concern.

I’ve done my bit and now it’s the sound engineer’s job to put it all together, to create the perfect composition.

That’s how I need to live the Christian life. As a member of the body of Christ, it is my goal to be the best Christian I can be. I need to pray, to worship and to pay attention to God, both with others and on my own. I need to practise the disci-

Glimpses of Glory

was doing chores the other day while listening to music, specifically modern orchestral music, like movie themes. I became intrigued as I tried to isolate various lines of music made by different instruments. It wasn’t easy, but I could pick out some major lines and the occasional ting of a triangle or bells shaking.

I realized if I could isolate the individual lines, by themselves they wouldn’t sound the same. They needed to be heard together conducted by one man.

They needed to be heard synergistically, where the whole creation is greater than the sum of its parts, something well illustrated by the Doctor Who Fan orchestra.

For those of you who are not geeks, the Doctor Who fan orchestra is composed of Doctor Who fans from all over the world.

The most recent composition was played by over 250 individuals, ages 11 to 69, from at least 24 different countries, all enthusiastically playing music composed for the Doctor Who show. Only they don’t play together, they play alone.

Those who want to be part of the orchestra receive the sheet music and midi files via email. They can communicate with organizers for clarification on their parts and when ready, record their part and send it in. A sound engineer combines all the submissions and the result

plines God has given me in order to achieve my potential and, ultimately, communion with God. It is not my place to judge what anyone else is doing, or wonder why they don’t do the same things I do or even worry that they are not playing their part properly, that’s all in God’s hands.

In the the story of The Horse and His Boy, one book in the Narnia Chronicles, Aslan (the Christ figure) when asked about the injury of a young woman, replies; “I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no-one any story but his own.”

As much as I would like to, I can not live anyone’s life but my own. I can not play anyone’s part but my own. I can encourage others to get closer to God and help when I can, but their part is their own and they are responsible for it.... just like in the orchestra.

In the body of Christ, every part of the body is necessary for goal of Christ to be accomplished. One part of the body may not know or understand why other parts are doing certain things, but Christ, the Head of the body, does. As long as I play my part to the best of my ability, Christ can engineer my efforts with the rest of the body and create the masterpiece He intended.

Charity Challenge Boxing returns for second bout

Local tough guys and tough gals set to duke it out for a good cause Saturday night Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Charity Challenge Boxing Event returns to the Eagles Hall this Saturday at 6 p.m.

Presented by the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club and Freightliner Trucks of Cranbrook the Charity Challenge Boxing Event features 15 amateur bouts followed by fights featuring local tough guys and tough gals from around Cranbrook.

“We’re a non-profit organization. None of us take a dollar out of this place, we’re all volunteers. This is kind of a give-back thing,” said Tom White of the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club Monday night.

The first edition of the Charity Challenge Boxing Event went in 2013.

According to White, the goal was to raise $5,000 for local families in need.

The event smashed that record, bringing in more than $20,000 for its cause.

“That first year was kind of like a movie, it’s always hard to beat that first year,” White added.

“I think we’re going to come close [to that mark this year].”

Tom White and fellow Eagles coach Bill Watson have been working to prepare competitors in anticipation of Saturday’s festivities.

After 15 amateur bouts to warm up the audience, the local tough guys and tough gals take centre stage. Sue Eimer will go toe-to-toe with Emma Jonsson, while White will dance with Derek Kortschaga, a program director at B-104 radio here in Cranbrook.

“Derek Kortschaga, who is the one who came out and challenged me, it was never about me. I never want-

ed it to be [about me]. I really liked Derek before this event, but all the harsh barbs and stabs behind the back and all the hard comments, I’m really not liking him,” White said with a laugh.

“Everything he says to me on the radio is going back into the ring.”

Mike Peabody and Joey Sandberg, friends and co-owners of The Choice skate and snowboard shop, will duke it out. While Sandberg has the experience of one prior bout, Peabody is stepping into the ring for the first time Saturday.

“I’m fighting my best friend, so we’ll see how that goes,” Peabody said with a laugh Monday night. “It’s going to be interesting. Talking to each other, it’s like, ‘Well, we’re not going to try to hurt each other. We’ll just go out there and give them a good show.’ But I know [with] the first slip or the first hard punch, it’s going to be on.

“It’s going to be a really, really good show.

It’s rare in Cranbrook that you get stuff this entertaining and it only happens once a year.”

Steve “The Bulldog” Mercandelli and Randy “The Moose” Rothwell round out the group of local celebrities in what projects to be a hard-hitting, heavy-slugging tilt.

“It’s going to be a fun night. There’s a lot of amateur fights going on prior to and some real talented guys going out there,” Mercandelli said.

“I’m excited to watch that. There’s some real good talent coming out of this club locally.”

Part of the local bouts include a family feud between Rothwell’s two young sons, six-year-old Trip and seven-year-old Chase.

“The only thing I’m scared of is when I

According to White, the two peppy boys represent the youngest boxers to step into the ring for a bout in Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club history.

“It won’t be first fight wins, then the trophy,” Trip said with a big grin.

“There will have to be a couple fights.”

Only a handful of tickets remain for the event, which sold out last year.

Cameron Helbig doubled the Blades lead with a power-play goal in the second period before Josh Uhrich put the game out of reach with a third-period goal.

Keelan Williams earned the start in net for the Ice, and has been almost customary this season, the Kootenay crease was home to plenty of rubber Wednesday night. Williams faced 40 shots from the Blades stopping 35.

Nick Amundrud turned in a star performance at the other end of the rink, making 31 saves between the pipes for Saskatoon.

The five goals scored by the Blades represent the biggest offensive

output for Saskatoon thus far this season. The Blades previous season high for goals in a game came Oct. 18 in a 6-4 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings.

The Ice get back onto the bus and return to Cranbrook today, with practice slated for late afternoon at Western Financial Place. The focus turns immediately to Friday’s visit from Jake Virtanen and the Calgary Hitmen (6-4-0-0).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Salvador Perez and the pesky Kansas City Royals fought back from a Game 1 flop to beat the San Francisco Giants’ brilliant bullpen and even the World Series.

Perez broke Game 2 open with a two-run double in a five-run sixth inning, and the Royals’ own cast of clutch relievers kept the Giants in check in a 7-2 victory Wednesday night that spiced things up as the Series shifts to San Francisco for the next three games.

Jeremy Guthrie will be on the mound Friday night for the Royals, who had won eight straight playoff games before a 7-1 loss in the opener.

Tim Hudson will start for San Francisco.

“We felt like with our big sixth inning there, we took a little bit of momentum out of them,” said Billy Butler, whose RBI single in the sixth gave the Royals a 3-2 lead.

Perez followed with a

double into the left-field gap, and Omar Infante hit a two-run shot off Hunter Strickland, the fifth home run that he’d allowed to 23 post-season batters.

Strickland appeared to mutter to himself as he stalked back to the mound, and Perez overheard him. The two exchanged words and players from both dugouts spilled onto the field. More streamed in from the outfield bullpens before order was

finally restored.

Suddenly, a series that began with a sleepy blowout had some life.

Young flamethrower Yordano Ventura, with his 100 mph fastball singeing the brims of the Giants’ batting helmets, allowed just two runs while pitching into the sixth inning.

The 23-year-old hardly looked like the first rookie to make a World Series start in Royals history, calmly working through a lineup that ravaged

staff ace James Shields just 24 hours earlier.

The dynamic trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland did the rest.

Herrera got the final two outs of the sixth to escape a jam, two of his first three pitches clocking 101 mph on the radar gun. He also survived a shaky seventh that included a pair of walks before Davis locked down the eighth, striking out two in a perfect inning.

The Kootenay return from the land of living skies winless in five tries following a 5-2 loss to the Saskatoon Blades Wednesday night.

“Our performance was embarrassing,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone following Wednesday’s loss. “Zero execution, no attention to detail, no internal competitiveness and not much else I can say other than that.”

McGill’s frustrations with his team’s performance in Saskatoon are nothing short of a carry-over from Tuesday’s 3-2 loss in Prince Albert.

Just as they did in Prince Albert, the Kootenay Ice jumped out to an early lead in Saskatoon.

Just as they did in Prince Albert, the Kootenay Ice coughed up the lead in Saskatoon, surrendering two points to the opponent.

Zak Zborosky opened the scoring less than 90 seconds into the first period in Saskatoon, with

River Beattie and Austin Vetterl collecting helpers. Exactly 30 seconds later, the Alex Forsberg was there to tie things up for the Blades.

At the midpoint of the opening period, Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau scored his sixth goal of the season and 200th point of his WHL career to give the Ice a 2-1 edge.

Less than five minutes later and the Blades had drawn even yet again courtesy of defenceman Isaac Schacher. The native of Kimberley, B.C. fired a point shot found that found its way to the back of the net, tying the game 2-2.

If Wednesday’s contest wasn’t frenetic enough at that point, Forsberg tallied his second of the night with less than three minutes to play, putting the Blades in front for the first time on the night. It was all the hosts needed to secure two points over the sagging Ice. “We’re going to continue to teach. We’re teaching the right way,” McGill said. “It’s [the

Ice deal Sittler to Royals

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice have traded 18-year-old goaltender Jayden Sittler to the Victoria Royals in exchange for a sixthround pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.

The deal was announced Wednesday morning.

“We thought it was a great opportunity for Jayden,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth over the phone from Saskatoon Wednesday afternoon.

“He wasn’t going to play here with Keelan Williams winning the backup position. This was an opportunity for him to go to another organization who has had a lot of interest in him before.”

Sittler attended Victoria Royals training camp on a try-out basis in 2011 prior to heading over to Cranbrook for Kootenay Ice camp on a similar try-out. The Ice liked what they saw from the Red Deer native and listed him as a 15-year-old.

Sittler suited up for one game with the Ice during the 2013-14 cam-

Jayden Sittler, pictured with the AJHL’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons, was dealt to the Victoria Royals by the Kootenay Ice Wednesday morning. paign. He was recalled by the team on an emergency basis after Mackenzie Skapski was unable to dress Nov. 20, 2013 due to injury.

Wyatt Hoflin started the road game in Red Deer, but Sittler came on in relief and turned aside 17 shots for a comefrom-behind victory over the Rebels.

After being beat out

by Keelan Williams for the backup role this September, Sittler was assigned to the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the

Alberta Junior Hockey League. In four games, Sittler is 2-2-0 with a 3.04 goals-against average and .903 save percentage.

In an interview with Victoria Royals play-byplay announcer Marlon Martens, Royals general manager Cam Hope said the acquisition of Sittler was spurred when backup goaltender Evan Smith was injured in practice Oct. 21.

The Royals host the Vancouver Giants Oct. 24 in Victoria.

SPORTS

Strength in sport Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Over my years as both a journalist and student journalist, I’ve often been asked why I chose to pursue a career as a sports reporter/editor.

Growing up, I distinctly remember starting my grade-school days with a big bowl of cereal and a thorough read of the sports pages of the Calgary Herald. I could list off to you the NHL’s top scorers on a day-by-day basis. It was a part of my routine and, though I didn’t realize it at the time, a big part of why I do what I do today.

But a love for sports wasn’t the most significant reason for my career pursuits.

In fact, before I arrived at the sports pages, I always did a quick scan of the national and local news sections, as well as the entertainment section of the paper. As a youngster, I was always shocked and confused by the amount of negative and violent news that appeared throughout the pages of the paper.

Wednesday morning provided me with an alltoo-real display of why I choose to report on sports, rather than politics, civil matters or community news.

Wednesday morning, a young man lost his life while serving his country right here at home in the nation’s capital. My deepest thoughts and condolences go out to the family of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.

On days like today, many might be of the opinion that sports don’t matter. And how could I argue that? A brave, young man lost his life. A country was left feeling vulnerable and scared for what its future might hold. How could anything outside of Wednesday’s tragedy truly be of any importance?

The NHL recognized the severity of a tragedy of this magnitude, postponing a scheduled contest between the Toronto Maple Leafs and host Ottawa Senators.

As great a distraction as sports can be, in times like these, we are better to spend time with those we love, being thankful for what we have while recognizing that life is fragile and can change in a moment. A distraction is not what we need on a day like today.

But in the same moment, we see why sports do matter during days like today.

In a great display of camaraderie, the Pittsburgh Penguins splashed the ice surface at CONSOL Energy Centre with red maple leaves. Prior to puck drop with the Philadelphia Flyers, the Canadian national anthem was performed in a show of solidarity for Pittsburgh’s northern neighbours here in Canada. With two American teams facing off, the Canadian national anthem is typically not a part of opening festivities in the National Hockey League.

In a show of support and community, the Saskatoon Blades honoured meningitis survivor Tim Bozon prior to Wednesday’s WHL regular season game with the Kootenay Ice. Again, proof that regardless of the level of competition, community and camaraderie exist within the world of sport when times get tough.

The Penguins and Blades displays are beautiful examples of how sport can provide strength for us in times of struggle and adversity, regardless of rivalry and competition.

While many question the importance of sports relative to the rest of the world, I always argued the necessity of sports pages for this reason.

Sure, who wins tonight’s tilt between the Kootenay Ice and the Saskatoon Blades isn’t going to change the way we view our society.

Cranbrook won’t go to war with Saskatoon because the Blades edged the Ice. World peace won’t be had because the Kansas City Royals knotted up the World Series with the Giants.

While most days, I would distract myself from the realities of a violent world by reading the box score of last night’s game, today, my only look to the world of sports will be for strength and reassurance that society can band together during times of difficulty.

The next time you flip to the sports pages and wonder why they’re there, just remember the world of sport provides strength and reassurance regularly. Most importantly, it provides strength and reassurance on days like today.

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.

Soldier dead, two others injured in Parliament Hill siege C anadian Press

OTTAWA - A gunman turned the nation’s capital into an armed camp Wednesday after he fatally shot an honour guard at “point blank” range at the National War Memorial before setting his sights on Parliament Hill.

The extraordinary scene ended with the assailant shot dead in the polished marble

halls of Parliament’s Centre Block, apparently by the sergeant-atarms of the House of Commons, while SWAT teams combed the busy parliamentary precinct in an ongoing but seemingly fruitless search for accomplices.

in an apparently random, murderous attack, just as Canadian war planes are being deployed to Iraq.

Two Canadian soldiers were run over one of them fatally - in Quebec on Monday by a man with jihadist sympathies.

The slain shooter was identified as Michael Joseph Paul Zehaf Bibeau, born in 1982 and known to police in Montreal and Vancouver.

“It’s way too early to be able to determine a motive,” Gilles Michaud, the assistant commissioner of the RCMP, said at a news conference in Ottawa while police were still clearing downtown buildings.

“I looked out the window and saw a shooter - a man dressed all in black with a kerchief over his nose and mouth and something over his head as well holding a rifle and shooting an honour guard in front of the Cenotaph, point blank, twice,” Zobl told The Canadian Press.

“It looked like the honour guard was trying to reach for the barrel of the gun,” he continued. “The honour guard dropped to the ground and the shooter kind of raised his arms in triumph holding the

rifle.”

Zobl said the shooter then ran up the street toward Parliament Hill.

It was only earlier this year that the government extended the season for live guards at the monument through the November Remembrance Day ceremonies.

In the past, the honour guard has stood down after Labour Day. The scene on Parliament Hill was frantic.

Wednesday morning is the busiest day of the week on the Hill, with MPs and senators of all major parties gathering in the Centre Block for meetings.

Given the time and day, it was remarkable only four persons were admitted to hospital.

ble condition, expected to be released within 24 hours. Only one had a gunshot wound.

Witnesses and video suggest a hail of gunfire erupted in the marbled Hall of Honour that bisects the building directly beneath the Peace Tower.

Kevin Vickers, better known to political wonks as the ceremonially garbed sergeantat-arms carrying the mace to open the Commons each day, was reported by multiple sources as the person who shot the gunman.

Construction worker Scott Walsh said he was in a manhole near the East Block building, between the memorial and the Centre Block, when he heard two gunshots echo down the street.

In the ensuing panic, people around him started screaming, including a woman pushing a child in a stroller.

He said she started to run, so he went to help her.

That’s when he saw a man with long black hair, his face covered by a white scarf with decals on it and wearing a black jacket.

“He had a double-barrelled shotgun, he was about five feet from me, and he ran right beside us, ran past the woman with the stroller and child,” he said.

The gunman then hijacked a car at gunpoint, he said, and drove it up towards the Peace Tower.

Greta Levy, a press secretary for the NDP, said she had just left the building when she saw the gunman walk up the paved ramp under the tower.

“None of us reacted at first but then we heard a security guard yelling, ‘There’s a gun, get down, get down, there’s a gun,”’ Levy said.

“And I looked up, as did the woman I was with, and saw a man that I would describe as young, 20s-30s, coming up the ramp as though to go in the main doors of Centre Block under the Peace Tower.”

The incident paralyzed the entire downtown core for hours, from the adjacent U.S. embassy to the University of Ottawa several city blocks to the south.

Kootenay corporate community gets kids outside

For the Townsman

This summer the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network launched a Kootenay-wide Corporate Challenge with the goal of attracting 10 Kootenay-based businesses to sponsor the Wild Voices for Kids Program. This program started over a decade ago and now offers 125 different curriculum-linked environmental education field trips and presentations led by 75 local experts across the Kootenays.

Since 2009, CBEEN has offered these programs to 50,000 students in all of the region’s 6 school districts. However, demand for these programs continues to grow.

In order to help meet this demand 10 local businesses have come on board and offered their support. VAST Resource Solutions (Cranbrook), Kootenay Mountain Works (Kimberley), Kootenay Co-op (Nelson), Oso Negro Coffee (Nelson), Overwaitea Foods (Kimberley), The Heidout (Cranbrook), Copper Point Resort (Invermere), Caliper Machine & Hydraulics (Cranbrook) Williams and Associates (Cranbrook) and Conservation by Design Inc.

At the BC Nature, Fall, 2013 Conference titled, “Earth Fire, Wind and Water’ participants watched Janice Strong’s slide show of her themed photographs and were so impressed they asked her to develop the presentation further and add a narration. It has taken Janice a year to complete and embellish this stunning collection of her photographs into a presentation named, ‘Earth, Fire, Wind and Water’.

Cranbrook and District Arts Council is proud to present the public launch of her DVD at the College of the Rockies on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7:30pm in the Lecture Theatre, Room 250. Entry is by donation and donations at the door will go towards the CDAC Building Fund.

Share the love of reading Deanne Perreault

Canada’s libraries make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and in our communities.

They help to inspire Canadians to celebrate our culture, to advance universal and equitable access to information, to support lifelong learning and to document and preserve our heritage for generations to come. This month, the inspiration created in and by libraries will be celebrated with the theme “Libraries Inspire!”

Over 21 million Canadians hold a public library card, making public libraries the most popular cultural institution in the country. Over 97 per cent of Canadians live in communities served by a public library, and the library adds to the vitality of every

one of these communities.

For our “early years” patrons the Cranbrook Public Library wants to inspire the love of reading by sharing stories and songs with children in our storytime programs that take place throughout the year in the Storytime Horseshoe at the Cranbrook Public Library. Toddlers, from birth to 3 years, and their caregivers are invited to come on Friday mornings at 10 or 11 for stories and songs. Preschoolers, aged 3 to 5, and their caregivers are welcome to come on Wednesdays at 11 and 1:15 for stories, fingerplays and puppet stories. Families are encouraged to come on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm.

Storytimes give parents an opportunity to listen to stories presented to children and provide a place where parents can socialize with other caregivers and young children can meet others their age.

Reading a book to an infant helps him/her make connections between words and meaning. It also helps create a warm, safe environment for children and leads to a lifetime love of reading and learning.

The Cranbrook Public Library wants to inspire you!

Small businesses still challenged by employee retention, labour shortages F o r t h e Tow n s man

According to the September 2014 Business Barometer results from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, confidence in British Columbia, but labour has been identified as one of the biggest concerns. Small business owners are dealing with labour shortages, and more specifically, a lack of skilled labour, which is contributing to sales issues and production growth of their businesses.

According to Western Financial Group, a local insurance broker that specializes in commercial risk management, these labour challenges ring especially true in Cranbrook.

“We see this concern from our clients regularly,” explains James Hall with Western Financial Group. “Hiring great talent is only the beginning. Too often a small business owner

finds a great employee, trains them and then ends up losing them.

Employee retention strategies are key.”

Small businesses are looking for ways to attract and retain employees without just increasing salaries, which is not always realistic in a new enterprise. One major way to support hiring and retention is through an attractive group benefits plan.

“Employee benefit packages are an effective way to stand out in a crowded hiring market,” explains Hall. “We recently conducted a national study that found more than 60 per cent of Canadians say that benefits are vital when looking for a new position, ranking only behind salary.”

Tellingly, the study also found that 70 per cent of British Columbians are more likely to say that extended health and dental coverage is very important when

mulling over a potential job. And although benefit packages can lead to further costs when workers start making use of their policies, small businesses are starting to mitigate additional expenses by taking certain measures.

“For instance, 80 per cent of employee claims come from prescriptions, but you can reduce the cost by using dispensers with lower fees and allowing for the use of generic prescriptions,” notes Hall.

With Small Business Week in full swing, the time is right to look at the challenges that local businesses are facing and the solutions to address them. From the family-owned corner store to the local coffee shop, small businesses play a critical role in driving Cranbrook’s economy, and so attention to employee attraction and retention is critical.

‘Velocity’ the theme of 2014/15 Kootenay Literary Competition Christine Nichol and Robyn Joyce

The annual Kootenay Literary Competition (KLC) has been launched and is now open for adult entrants.

Since its beginning as a small competition for Nelson writers, it has expanded to cover the entire Kootenay region.

The competition aims to support local artists and literacy in the Kootenays.

This year’s theme is Velocity. Writers may interpret the theme in any way they like, and approach it through any of the genre categories.

The theme is to be integrated into the creative work at the writer’s discretion. Detailed rules are available on the KLC website (www.kootenaylitcomp.com).

There are three writing categories for adults: fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry.

Cash prizes are awarded for the first and second place entries in each category. Submissions will be judged by a panel of writing professionals, who will provide feedback and suggestions on the winning

work. Winners of the KLC win substantial cash prizes and gain recognition at an award event.

The deadline for submission for this year’s competition is Friday January 16th, 2015. The celebration to announce the winners will be February 26th, 2015.

The KLC Committee hosts other writing events in the region over

the course of the year. In the spring of 2015, the third annual Spring Scribble weekend workshop for young writers will be held in Nelson.

Details about upcoming events will be available on the KLC website.

Questions about the competition can be emailed through the website (www.kootenaylitcomp.com).

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week of October 19 - 25 Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1898 Van Horne Visits … Last Saturday evening at 7 o’clock, the special train from the west, with Sir William Van Horne, president of the C.P.R., and party arrived in Cranbrook. The train consisted of two private cars, Saskatchewan and Champlain, baggage car and caboose, and was switched onto the siding just west of the depot for the night. As it was dark when the special arrived, the party soon indulged in their dinner, and after a sociable smoke, sought their berths. They were tired, as they had been on the road for several days, and sight seeing is wearisome even to a lot of railroad officials in palace cars. The next morning the party arose early and took their first glimpse of “Beautiful Cranbrook,” and they were unanimous in their opinion that it was a magnificent site for a city.

Klopp on the Hunt … Sergeant Klopp, of the N.W.M.P., arrived here in the small hours of Saturday morning on a C.P.R. “jigger.” He was looking for a man named McDowell, who has been doing business to the tune of about $250 in the forged check line. He also stole a blanket and shotgun from a man at Palmers Bar. Sergeant Klopp arrested the man at the Moyie Hotel. Later in the morning the sergeant returned to Cranbrook with the prisoner.

A Great Walk ... Last Friday E. C. Egan and A. D. McRea, two of the best known contractors of the Crows Nest line, were in Kuskonook and wanted to come east to Cranbrook.

The only train there was President Van Horne’s special. The orders given were that no passengers would be taken but Egan and McRea were bound to get to Cranbrook as soon as possible, and so they concluded to walk. They left Kuskonook at 11 o’clock Saturday and arrived in Cranbrook Sunday night, making the distance of 85 miles in a day and a half. Sunday they walked 58 miles, which is about a record breaker in these parts. Mr. Egan said that if they had continued on east he believed they would have caught up with the Van Horne special before it reached Macleod.

Will Have A School ... A meeting of those interested in securing a school for Cranbrook was held Saturday evening at the rooms of Manager Smythe, of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The conditions were freely discussed, and an election of trustees held. George Bremner, J. W. H. Smythe and John Hutchison were selected and Mr. Hutchison was named as secretary. Arrangements were entered into for securing a teacher, and the Church of England building will be used for this season.

Wanted … A female teacher for the Cranbrook, South East Kootenay, School. State qualifications and salary expected. Address enclosed references to John Hutchison, secretary of school board, Cranbrook, B.C. J.H. McDowell was arrested in

Moyie by Sergeant Klopp, of the Mounted Police, charged with having stolen a coat, a blanket and a pair of shoes, and with having obtained money under false pretences.

He was arraigned before Judges Laidlaw and Hutchison on Monday afternoon and was sentenced to six weeks hard labour in jail. The fact of the sentence being so light was due to his previous good character and the drunken bout which caused the trouble.

1899 Gwendoline’s Machinery Raised … Captain Miller has succeeded in raising the machinery from the Gwendoline, the boat which was wrecked last spring at a point about a mile below the falls of the Kootenai river, eleven miles west of Libby, in an attempt to transfer it around the falls and canyon on the Great Northern railroad, and has disposed of it for a nominal figure to the Kaslo & Slocan Railway Company. Nothing further will be done with the remaining portion of the wreck. It is understood that the adjustment of the loss is still in process of settlement between Captain Miller and the Great Northern.

“Handy Harry” … Does all kinds of work. Cleans yards, digs cellars, cuts wood, etc. Leave word at McVittie & Hutchison’s or The Herald office. Yours for a full day and honest work. Harry Williams Runaway … A nasty runaway occurred on Baker Street, and two men, well loaded with booze, had a narrow escape from death.

Stage to Kimberley … Geary & Doyle have started a stage between Cranbrook and Kimberley. It leaves Cranbrook Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Kimberley Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

1900 Thievery … There is some petty thieving going on among the residents of Baker Hill. John Hutchison lost a barrel of vegetables and A.W. McVittie a haunch of venison. It is early in the season for this kind of business, and Hutchison says that he hopes in the future the thieves will take the vegetables before he labours to dig them from the ground.

Confirmation … (From the Macleod Gazette) It is asserted by the Cranbrook Herald that Mr. Haney’s house at the Macleod station will be removed to Cranbrook. The house has now stood on the hill beyond the station ever since construction, a tower and landmark, but we presume that Mr. Haney is removing it because it serves as a reminder to the people of Macleod how he broke faith with them.

Electricity Coming … The poles for the electric light plant have arrived and are being put in position.

The machinery will be installed some time next week, and before the first of the year Cranbrook will be enjoying a modern light.

Rink Improvements … Messrs.

Leask and Liddicoatt are making improvements at the rink and getting it in shape for the coming season. The place will be fitted with electric lights and everything possible done for the comfort of the public.

Tonight: Hang out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Note what is going on with your finances, and also be aware of the costs of any commitments you might make right now. Do some price comparisons, and shop around. Know what you expect from a loved one. Tonight: Try not to overindulge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be spontaneous when pursuing your own ideas. However, try not to do anything overly offensive to a loved one, or you could have quite a situation to deal with. A new beginning is possible for you, especially if you express your caring. Tonight: Just be yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You sense a difference from the past few days. You are focused and intense, and you know what you want. Greet today’s Solar Eclipse without rigidity.

You will be a lot happier as a result. A partner or associate can’t seem to get enough of you. Tonight: Try a different suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to flex will be tested in the next few weeks. As you go through this period, many of you might be asked to break your usual patterns. Be gracious and give it shot. You’ll see how a newfound easiness could help you. Tonight: Respond to someone’s offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be overwhelmed by everything you have to accomplish. You could start acting like a chicken with its head cut off.

Sometimes, you simply can’t get through all your to-dos -- not because of you, but be-

cause of unexpected requests.

Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll benefit from the intensity of today’s Solar Eclipse. You could see a personal situation much differently from how you normally do. It would be smart not to continue as you have, and not to make any big announcements today. Tonight: Add some spice to a relationship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay anchored, and try not to allow a loved one’s uproar to get the best of you. You might have been considering a change on the homefront, and today’s events might point to taking action. Play the waiting game for now; you won’t want to act just yet. Tonight: Mosey on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll be sure of yourself when presenting an issue or describing what you feel. However, in a week or so, you could have a totally different outlook. Take your time when making an important decision, and let go of thinking about this issue today.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for six years. A few months after the wedding, I found out he was cheating on me. I saw his cellphone while he was sleeping and noticed the messages and phone calls. He had been meeting girls from dating sites, talking to them and exchanging photographs. He also wouldn’t come home till 3 or 4 a.m.

I called one of the girls and told her I am his wife and she should stop talking to him.

That’s when she told me she was pregnant with his child. I confronted my husband, who said the woman was lying. He also apologized and promised to stop cheating.

Several weeks later, he was again out until after midnight. He texted that he was coming home, but I tripped and hurt my ankle.

I called several times and left messages, but it took an hour until he texted that he was on his way.

We have tried to work things out, but I feel that he doesn’t want me anymore, or that he only wants me for a place to live and money in the bank. When he touches me, it doesn’t feel genuine.

I recently found out that he has been on dating sites again, possibly meeting up with these women when he claims to be out fishing. When I asked him about it, he said, “I haven’t done anything. I just ask for photographs to see how far they will go.”

Do you think he really wants me? Should I keep trying to work it out with him? I am scared that he is just going to keep hurting me. -- Alabama Dear Alabama: We can guarantee he will keep hurting you, because he doesn’t see that he’s doing anything wrong and has no interest in changing his behavior, no matter how much it upsets you. Please get some counseling on your own to decide what you are willing to tolerate and to determine your next step.

Dear Annie I was disappointed in your response to “To Tip or Not To Tip,” saying that wedding DJs and photographers who own their own businesses don’t expect to be tipped. That is not true.

I am married to a man who has been a DJ for 40 years. He has many extra expenses. A week before the wedding, they make sure all the music is in order, and they do a lot of recording and cover the expenses associated with that. They arrive at least an hour before the wedding to get everything set up and run the whole wedding reception to keep things on time. The guests probably won’t remember your decorations or the food, but if they don’t like the DJ, they will go home.

When you tip your DJ, it tells him he did a good job and you are pleased with his work.

It’s no different from tipping a beautician who owns her own shop. She still expects a tip. -- Omaha DJ’s Wife Dear Omaha: We understand that you want to support your husband, but those who own their businesses (including beauticians) should not expect tips when performing services. The fact that some people choose to tip anyway is fine and undoubtedly appreciated, but it is not required.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated in North Carolina,” whose mother-inlaw doesn’t understand boundaries.

When my brother married decades ago, they lived not far from our parents. Every now and then, our parents would stop by unannounced and just walk in. One day they found the young couple was not, shall we say, dressed for company. It was the last time our parents ever did that. -- Always Some Humor Somewhere Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dementia is cruel and heartbreaking. Pearl became a fading picture of the strong, independent woman who she use to be. Her last hours were as peaceful as we could have hoped and while we’re saddened by her passing, it’s a huge relief that she’s no longer struggling with this dehumanizing illness. Finally free she is now enjoying the wonders of heaven re-united with friends and loved ones who passed away before her.

Pearl was born to Emil and Annie Johnson in Rocky Mountain House, AB. Along with seven brothers and two sisters they lived and helped work on the family farm.

But life had many hardships and as a result Pearl still so very young, was separated from her home, schooling and family to begin work for Carl and Mary Oppel. The Oppel family grew to love Pearl dearly and they became a second family to her remaining close throughout all these years. In 1947 Pearl married her soulmate Dudley Walter Rutter. Pearl lived her entire life for and what she loved best on earth, her husband and their three children Esther, Ruth and David. She was her husband’s life as fully as he was hers. They were blessed with 59 years of marriage until his passing. Her constant good example always taught us right from wrong. Never selfish, always loving and kind. These are the wonderful memories mom you leave behind.

Pearl is survived by one sister Mae Sobkowicz of Victoria and one brother Nester (Mae) of Cranbrook. Her three children Esther (Don) Petty of Canmore, AB., David Rutter of Victoria and Ruth Persson of Cranbrook. She has six grandchildren Philip Petty, Darren (Stephanie) Petty, Bradley (Genevieve) Petty, Susanne (Gary) Elliott, Lisa (Daryl) Tanner, Aimee (Lawrence) Sarmenta. She was then blessed with 13 precious great grandchildren, Shelby and Morgan Price; Emilee and Hanna Elliott; Nathan, Tyson and Owen Tanner; Jager, Tripp, Nixee and Kayia Sarmenta; Megan and Ryan Petty.

A family graveside service will be held at Westlawn Cemetery on Monday, October 27, 2014.

Without the kindness, caring and patience from the staff at Joseph Creek Care Home along with the compassionate care and support received by Dr. Shopay and his assistant Hailey, I don’t know how mom could have coped throughout this difficult journey. We are forever grateful.

Helen Gallant (nee Mlynarczyk) It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of Helen Gallant in St. Joseph’s Hospital in the Comox Valley on October 12, 2014.

Helen was born near Lublin, Poland on March 19, 1925, the youngest child after seven brothers. Her parents are Stanislov and Elizabeth Mlynarczyk. She immigrated to Canada following the war and married Emil Gallant on October 27, 1956 in Mallardville. They moved to Castlegar in 1962. Emil and Helen ran a shoe repair shop for several years. Helen lived in Cranbrook from 1982 until her move to Comox Valley in June, 2014.

Helen is survived by her son Richard (Kathleen) Gallant and daughter Janet (Robert) Niedermayer, her grandchildren James (Dawn) Gallant, Erin (Roland) Gallant, Natalie (Jamil) Damji and Alexis (Nathan) Milne as well as several great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Emil in 1985.

Helen worked in a variety of jobs over her life. Her versatility, hard work and commitment served her well through some difficult years. Her family was very important to her as was her Christian faith. She was an avid gardener for many years until her failing health did not allow her to continue.

Despite several chronic health issues she was able to travel to Poland with her son Richard and Kathleen. This adventure was, no doubt, a highlight in her life.

The whole family will fondly remember her famous cheesecake. There was never a meal in her home without cheesecake!

The family plans to hold a celebration of Helen’s life at a future date in Cranbrook.

NEWS/features Seniors advocate seeks elderly info about support services, transport C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s new seniors’ advocate is turning to the people who know best about what’s working for the elderly and what needs to be improved.

One of Isobel Mackenzie’s first actions will be to commission a provincewide survey of

residents in care facilities and those using home support and HandyDart services to determine what they like and what could be improved.

Mackenzie says such a significant undertaking has not been done elsewhere in Canada, but it’s required to support the independence of B.C.’s

growing seniors’ population.

She says the survey will provide the government and service providers with information on where they stand, and the public deserves to know if the needs of the most frail and vulnerable are being met.

The announcement comes as Mackenzie released her first

Anxious and waiting Dear Wendy: I read your column every week, and I have written to you before and your predictions were always right on.

This time I would like to know if you see a new job in my son’s life soon? The company has decided to take his department to another city.

Honolulu revisited

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel looks at some of the changes Hawaii has undergone in the past 10 years

Wikipedia

A

loha! I recently made a quick trip to Hawaii. I had not been there for almost 10 years and thought I should update my knowledge of the hotels and the area. Flying from Cranbrook on Air Canada is simple and quick. Good connecting times in Vancouver and then it’s six hours and you’re on the beach. The only downside is you now have to pay for baggage, food, drinks and headsets.

Waikiki has been redesigned over the past few years. The Beachwalk is a high-end area encompassing designer shops, restaurants and bars. It is lovely at night with the palm trees on the boulevards all lit up. At the foot of the Beachwalk and right on the beach, is Halekulani, a boutique hotel with the best open beach bar to enjoy a maitai and watch the spectacular sunset, complete with ukeleles and hula dancers. The International Market Place is gone! A walled construction site where it once was has a sign that it will reopen in 2016. It’s going to be high-end also, with Saks 5th Avenue as the anchor tenant. Takes away some of the authenticity in my mind.

There are many hotels to choose from, but few condominiums in the Waikiki area. The Aston Waikiki Sunset is three blocks from the beach, older but functional, with a full kitchen, living area, bedrooms and lanai. It is very reasonably priced. It is a nice option to be able to prepare at least some of your meals in your condo and keep costs down.

ABC Stores are on every street corner and offer all sorts of food, liquor, beach amenities and souvenirs.

You will want to experience some of the amazing restaurants in the area though. Two that I recommend are: Uncle Bo’s, about a kilometre from the beach and where the locals hang out. Looks like a tacky diner from the outside, but is urban funky inside. ‘SOS’ is their signature dish – a seafood dish that is ‘soup or stew’, whatever – it’s delicious! With the high density of Japanese tourists in the area, you know the sushi restaurants are going to be good. Sensei is in the Waikiki Beach Marriott. The spider roll with the soft shell crab was good, but the highlight was the sake-miso butterfish!

Getting off the beaten tourist track on Oahu is easy if you search out some companies that offer active tours – surfing, standup paddle boarding, hiking (lots of hikes – Diamond Head, Manoa Valley, are very close by), mountain biking, ocean kayaking and outrigger canoeing. But you still don’t want to miss some of the tourist attractions, like Pearl Harbour, Polynesian Cultural Centre, or the Paradise Cove Luau.

To get some aloha of your own, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel 250.489.4788.

AUTOMOTION Judge rules that banishment from Kamloops is not unconstitutional C AM FORTEMS Kamloops This Week

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A Kamloops man who criminally harassed his former girlfriend and her family will remain banished from the city as part of his probation.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley declined an appeal by Shane Adam to have his banishment from Kamloops, B.C., declared unconstitutional.

Adam’s lawyer, Thompson Rivers University law professor Micah Rankin, argued unsuccessfully that banishment of an offender from his community violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

steps to reduce his risk to the community.”

Adam, 24, has amassed a record for breaches of court orders, harassment, assault and uttering threats. He has lived most of his life in the B.C. Interior city.

He threatened to shoot his former girlfriend’s father, as well as police officers who arrested him.

Dley said the banishment is necessary to protect the public, particularly Adam’s former girlfriend’s family. Her father is a bus driver whose job takes him across the community.

“Kamloops is not such a large city that banishment from the entire city can be said to be unreasonable or over broad,” Dley ruled.

Adam was sentenced in provincial court last year to a prison term of slightly more than four months, followed by a two-year probation term that included banishment from Kamloops.

“The sentencing judge chose not to imprison Mr. Adams for a lengthy term,” Dley wrote.

“Instead, the judge addressed community safety by tying it to Mr. Adam’s rehabilitation. If Mr. Adam took no steps to rehabilitate himself, then community safety could only be served by his absence from Kamloops for the two-year term.

However, it was open for Mr. Adam to return to Kamloops if he was able to show the court that he had taken the necessary

WASHINGTON — Nearly 50 years ago, scientists found bones of two large, powerful dinosaur arms in Mongolia and figured they had discovered a fearsome critter with killer claws.

Now scientists have found the rest of the dinosaur and have new descriptions for it: goofy and weird.

The beast probably lumbered along on two legs like a cross between TV dinosaur Barney and Jar Jar Binks of Star Wars fame. It was 16 feet (5 metres) tall and 36 feet (11 metres) long, weighing seven tons, with a duckbill on its head and a hump-like sail on its back. Throw in those killer claws, tufts of feathers here and there, and no teeth — and try not to snicker.

And if that’s not enough, it ate like a giant vacuum cleaner.

That’s Deinocheirus mirificus, which means “terrible hands that look peculiar.” It is newly reimagined after a full skeleton was found in Mongolia and described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. Some 70 million years old, it’s an ancestral relative of the modern ostrich and belongs to the dinosaur family often called ostrich dinosaurs.

“Deinocheirus turned out to be one the weirdest dinosaurs beyond our imagination,” study lead author Yuong-Nam Lee, director of the Geological Museum in Daejeon, South Korea, said in an email.

When scientists in 1965 found the first forearm bones — nearly 8

feet long — many of them envisioned “a creature that would strike terror in people,” said University of Maryland dinosaur expert Thomas Holtz Jr, who wasn’t part of the study.

“Now it’s a creature that would strike bemusement, amazement.”

The find is tremendous but is a cautionary tale about jumping to conclusions without enough evidence, said University of Chicago dinosaur expert Paul Sereno.

It also reminds us that evolution isn’t always what we think, Sereno said.

“This is evolution in a dinosaur — not a mammal — world,” Sereno said in email.

“The starting point is a two-legged animal looking somewhat like a fuzzy-feathered ostrich.

Now you want to get really big and suck up lots of soft vegetation. In the end you look like a goofy Michelin ostrich with fuzz and a tail — not a cow.”

Lee figures the tilted wide hips and massive feet show that Deinocheirus was a slow mover and probably grew so big to escape from being regularly feasted on by bigger dinosaurs.

It had a beak that could eat plants, but it also had a massive tongue that created suction for vacuuming up food from the bottoms of streams, lakes and ponds, Lee wrote.

Originally Lee’s team couldn’t find the dinosaur’s skull, but a tip from another researcher led them to recover it from the private market in Germany.

Is your vehicle ready for another Canadian winter?

NE WS C ANADA

Canadian winters can be cruel to both Canadians and their vehicles, with extreme temperatures and severe driving conditions.

Whether it’s a long commute down a snow filled highway or a short commute in sub-zero temperatures – we rely on our vehicles to make sure that we get where we need to be – safely.

To help prepare yourself (and your vehicle), make a list of what needs to be done. You know that you need winter tires and that you need winter washer fluid. But what else does your vehicle need?

Here are some tips from the experts at FRAM filters, to help you optimize the safety and reliability of your vehicle and protect everyone inside: • Don’t overlook the essentials: Winter driving puts additional strain on your vehicle.

Before the ice and snow settle in, check your vehicle’s battery, oil level, heating, thermostat, and defroster.

All of these components must be functioning properly or you could find yourself stranded at home or on the road on a cold winter day.

• Plan ahead: While you should check your antifreeze/coolant levels regularly, it is especially important to make sure that your antifreeze is topped up and at the correct dilution level before the cold weather hits.

This can be done by even a novice vehicle maintainer and could save on costly repairs down the road.

• Protect your engine: Engine life and durability are directly related to the quality of air entering your vehicle.

If dirty air is allowed to enter your vehicle’s engine, contaminants and other tiny particles can cause premature engine wear.

Conversely, a clogged or dirty air filter could result in decreased acceleration and horsepower.

FRAM Extra Guard air filters provide premium engine protection with more than 99 per cent efficiency.

• Check your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system: Your HVAC system plays a vital role in passenger comfort all year long.

Keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

A cabin air filter filters the air entering the vehicle – removing odours and reducing allergens – particularly important in winter months, when opening a window isn’t usually an option.

A clogged or dirty cabin air filter can restrict the air entering the vehicle HVAC system, blocking output and possibly reducing effectiveness of the defroster, heater and air conditioner. FRAM Fresh Breeze® cabin air filters can remove up to 98 per cent of road dust and pollen particles ranging in size from 5-100 microns Canadian winters can be hard on drivers and their vehicles.

tronic stability control.

But the federal government does not show any crash test results for Miatas, even going back several years.

The test car had a grown-up yet sporty look. In contrast to the earliest Miatas, the 2015 model looks sophisticated. One observer said it had a Porsche kind of appearance.

The small size of the Miata can be both endearing and intimidating.

This Miata can fit in many small streetside parking spots that other vehicles have to pass up in dense urban centres.

At the same time, the Miata rides low enough for driver and passenger to get good views of the undercarriages of some pickup trucks.

The driver of the test car even looked up at passengers in a Toyota Corolla in the adjacent lane.

But the darty, agile character of the Miata means the car doesn’t have to stay behind the taller vehicles all the time.

The Miata’s responsive rack-and-pinion steering was a relief compared with the loose steering feel of some other vehicles that required constant driver corrections at the steering wheel. It also was noticeable that the Miata steering, which is hydraulically assisted, felt natural and direct, not artificial the way electric power steering can feel in other vehicles.

The Miata interior gets noisy on rough pavement. Wind noise, even with the hard top up, comes on by highway speeds, too.

Engine sounds also were evident but they were welcome, as they audibly absorbed the driver in the car’s performance.

Torque peaks at 140 foot-pounds of torque at a high 5,000 rpm in the Miata. Sixth gear in the tester brought the revving down immediately.

The short-throw, sixspeed shifter in the test car was enjoyable to use, and while the clutch pedal needed some weight to activate, it was not enough to fatigue a left leg in stopand-go, congested traffic.

Wrecks of WWII-era boats found off US coast MARTHA WAGGONER ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH, N.C. — In the aptly named Graveyard of the Atlantic off the Southeastern U.S. coast, researchers have found the wrecks of a Nazi U-boat and the ship it sank during a World War II convoy.

“That whole battlefield scene is there,” said Joe Hoyt of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, chief scientist for the expedition. “Both sides of the story are represented as a memorial to history.”

A research team using sonar found the wrecks of U-boat 576 and the freighter Bluefields on Aug. 30 in waters off North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras, just 240 yards (220 metres) apart. The U-boat had attacked the Bluefields, which was operating under the flag of Nicaragua and was part of a convoy of 19 merchant ships.

The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard were escorting the ships from Norfolk, Virginia, to Key West, Florida, when the U-boat attacked on July 15, 1942, sinking the Bluefields and damaging two other ships.

A U.S. aircraft bombed the U-boat and a merchant ship at-

tacked with a deck gun.

All 45 men aboard the U-boat died and are believed entombed in the shipwreck; no one on the Bluefields was killed, Hoyt said.

NOAA delayed releasing information about the discovery until Tuesday to give the German time to track down and notify any survivors of the 45 men, Hoyt said.

The German Foreign Office told NOAA that it’s not interested in recovering the remains but asked the U.S. to view the wreck as a war grave. “As such, they are under special protection and should, if possible, remain at their site and location to allow the dead to rest in peace,” the foreign office said in a statement provided by NOAA. The shipwrecks are in such deep water, about 700 feet (213 metres), that it’s unlikely divers would be able to reach the site, Hoyt said. The wrecks are protected by international law.

The shipwrecks show how close the Battle of the Atlantic came to the United States, he said, even though many people think of it as a “North Sea-type story.”

Dixie Burrus Browning of Hatteras Island knows better, howev-

er. Browning, 84, wasn’t quite a teenager when World War II was being fought close to her home.

“I remember waking up in the middle of night in our flimsy wooden house, hearing the rattle of dishes” when ships attacked each other, she said.

Wrecks of U-boats are unusual because most were scuttled as WWII was ending, Hoyt said. Still, the wrecks of three other U-boats sit in more shallow waters off the North Carolina coast and have been used for fishing and diving, even though they’re also considered war graves.

But what’s most interesting about this new site is that two shipwrecks sit there, he said.

“That is much more unique and more interesting than just a single vessel,” Hoyt said.

NOAA and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management began working together in 2008 to find vessels lost off the North Carolina coast during World War II. Researchers used archival information for an initial survey earlier this year, then used sonar on a research vessel to confirm the shipwrecks.

Russian crew heaves WINTER? items overboard from ISS We’ll help you insure it is.

MARCIA DUNN ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts doubled as trash men Wednesday, heaving an old science experiment and two antennas overboard at the International Space Station.

It was the third spacewalk in as many weeks outside the orbiting lab. This time, it was on the Russian side of the house and went so well that it wrapped up more than two hours early.

Russian spaceman Alexander Samokutyaev used his left gloved hand to shove the antennas away one by one, five minutes apart. He paused dramatically before letting the second one loose, for a better camera view.

The dish antennas — up to 2.5 feet (0.7 metres) long — resembled white umbrellas. The first one spun as it drifted away. ``It looks like it’s going to rain: Antennas are flying low,’’ someone said in Russian.

A couple of hours earlier, spacewalker Maxim Suraev released

a seismic experiment, essentially a panel stretching 6 feet (1.8 metres) long and 4.5 feet (1.4 metres) across. ``Three cheers,’’ someone noted in Russian. ``This is an event of some note.’’

The panel, shining yellow in the station spotlights, slowly spun in circles as it tumbled away into the blackness 260 miles (418 kilometres) up. The experiment was launched in 2011 to monitor earthquakes and had completed its job. The antennas were launched in 2009 aboard a Russian mini-research module; they were determined to be in the way of future spacewalkers.

NASA’s Mission Control in Houston said analyses were conducted to ensure the objects would not come back and smash into the space station.

All three discarded items should orbit for several months, possibly even a year, before burning up in the atmosphere.

The Russian Space Agency, unlike NASA, routinely gets rid of old

equipment by setting it loose in orbit.

The spacewalkers joked and chuckled as they worked to remove the antennas from the station’s hull. As Samokutyaev repeatedly opened and closed his cable cutters, Suraev observed, ``Don’t cut my finger off.’’ ``No, I think I will not do that. It’s just too far away to walk to the station,’’ Samokutyaev replied.

A hard rubber washer almost got away from Samokutyaev, but he managed to catch it. He was urged to keep it as a good luck charm.

Their garbage work completed early, the spacewalkers turned their attention to inspection. They collected samples from windows and elsewhere outside the Russian segment to check for engine exhaust and other materials.

The pair wrapped everything up in 3 1/2 hours, versus the originally allotted six hours. ``It seems like we did everything so quickly,’’ one of the spacewalkers said. ``I would like to stay out some more.’’

During each of the previous two weeks, American spacewalkers took care of some outside maintenance.

The crew now gets a break: The next spacewalk isn’t until January.

Altogether, six people live on the orbiting lab: three Russians, two Americans and one German.

Officials return dozens of stolen artifacts

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Dozens of artifacts are on their way back to Peru after being seized in the United States during investigations into the smuggling of cultural relics.

Investigators from U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s

Homeland Security department held ceremonies held ceremonies in Denver, San Antonio and Boston on Wednesday to repatriate over 40 items, including 20 Incan artifacts allegedly taken from graves in Peru.

Investigators say a

middleman purchased those items from local farmers and then shipped them by mail from Bolivia to a smuggler in New England.

“The cultural treasures returned today do not belong in the hands of any private collection or one owner,” ICE acting director Thomas Winkowski said in a statement.

“They belong to the people of Peru where they can be displayed and serve as a reminder of Peru’s rich cultural heritage.”

Homeland Security helps investigate the illegal importation and distribution of artifacts.

Since 2007, it says more than 7,150 items, including paintings, manuscripts and other artifacts, have been returned to 27 countries.

Solar flare affects radio systems ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. government forecasters say a brief but strong solar flare Wednesday morning temporarily blacked out a few radio communication systems before weakening.

Space Weather Prediction Center forecaster Christopher Balch said it affected radio that uses part of the upper atmosphere.

That includes some radar and plane systems, but not all, and amateur radio.

The storm came from a large group of sunspots and hit Earth between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

EDT (14001500GMT).

Balch said the storm briefly was rated as strong for affecting Earth radio systems but then dropped to minor levels.

He said so far forecasters see no high-energy particles coming from the flare.

That means other effects are not expected, such as changes in the colorful northern lights, or harm to the electrical grid or satellites.

are or may be seeking investment, the Kootenay Rockies Innovation Council (KRIC) and New Ventures BC are pleased to bring experienced investor Mike Volker to the East Kootenays, to offer two half-day seminars: Raising Money to Grow Your Business.

These Discovery Foundation seminars, also supported by the Elk Valley Economic Initiative, will cover what you need to build a compelling business case and attract investment.

“Meeting potential investors is easier than impressing them,” said Mike Volker, angel investment expert, who will deliver these two half-day seminars in Sparwood on November 5 and in Cranbrook on November 6.

Volker is a seasoned en-

trepreneur and investor in the tech start-up field and will share his practical experiences and tips throughout the seminars. He recently authored the e-book Making the Business Case.

“I’ll be teaching people how to develop a solid ‘business case,’” Volker said. “The business case is the foundation for any business pitch. It’s what potential investors look for.”

Potential investors— like the elusive ‘angel investor,’ who buys into a business with no other strings attached than to get a return on investment—are a selective bunch.

“I hear hundreds of pitches every year from budding entrepreneurs,” Volker said. “Their main challenge is making the business case.”

Volker said the main reason for making a business case is to convince yourself and others that it makes sense to pursue a specific business opportunity.

“If you’ve ever watched TV programs like Dragons Den, you’ll see what I mean. So many wannabe entrepreneurs have no idea – or often a very naive idea – as to how to build their business and make a profit.”

Topics covered will include: • A n g e l I nve s t i n g 101; • Elements of a compelling business case, and the tough questions you need to ask yourself; • Review of elevator pitches, investor pitches, and cap tables;

• Practical tips and personal stories from an active angel investor and hightechnology entrepreneur.
