Bob Faiers has thrown his hat into the civic election and will be running as a city council candidate for the upcoming Nov. 15 election.

Faiers is a born and raised Cranbrook resident who spent over 25 years in the forestry business before opening up his own small business, True Flite Archery.

He decided to enter the race as a way to give back to the community in which he grew up.

“I have witnessed a lot of changes in Cranbrook and I want us to retain the small-town values but continue to find ways to improve and foster new business growth in the community,” Faiers said. “We are a small community but we are vibrant and envied.”

Financial planning and infrastructure are his two main priorities, if elected. “I think that it needs to reflect that the community is open for business and I don’t believe the way that it is now, that it does,” Faiers said. “…Planning is a big issue in the community and I don’t believe that the five-year financial plan—in my mind— goes far enough to plan for the future.”

In particular, Faiers wants to take a look at the official community plan.

Wes believes in: • Transparent Government • Fiscal Responsibility • Building a Positive Economic Climate • Change the “Spend a Dollar to Save a Dime” Mentality

“There are many concerns such as land development, urban deer, roads, environment, wildlife, water, sewer, spray irrigation site, arts and culture that will always be issues that are front and centre in our community,” Faiers added. “Although these issues are addressed in our community plan, they are not doing enough to promote growth and development in our community as they are set out now.”

Promoting outdoor recreation opportunities for tourism is also one area that will help grow the local economy, he added.

Always a popular subject is the state of the roads and infrastructure, and Faiers wants to examine the budget to find more money within the existing tax structure or search for other sources of funding.

Scream the theme for Halloween

Cranbrook got into the spirit for Halloween last week as students and businesses dressed up for the occasion, while some houses became more than just a little haunted. Students featured are from St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Independent School, while Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place transformed into characters from Alice in Wonderland. The Wake household went all out to welcome (or frighten) visitors as undead spirits invaded their front lawn.

MADD launches Red Ribbon campaign

B a r ry Co u lt e r

The Kimberley-Cranbrook Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) kicked off its annual Project Red Ribbon campaign on Monday, Nov. 3, with a ribbon cutting at City Hall.

Project Red Ribbon is MADD Canada’s largest and longest-running public awareness campaign, is designed to combat impaired driving during the holidays.

It runs from Nov. 3 through the first Monday after New Year’s (January 5).

Katryna Sigurdson, MADD Community leader for Kimberley and Cranbrook, presided over the event at City Hall. She said that every day, on average, four Canadians are killed and 207 more are injured due to alcohol and drug-related crashes. With the involvement of local businesses, the campaign is asking residents of Cranbrook to tie a MADD Canada red ribbon to their antenna, side mirror or other visible location on the vehicle and/ or on their keychain.

“It is our hope that the red ribbon will remind people not to drive impaired, not to get in a vehicle with an impaired driver, and to report impaired drivers,” Sigurdson said.

Cpl. Shayne Parker of the Cranbrook RCMP

said that across B.C. and Canada, the RCMP runs campaigns to combat impaired driving.

“It’s one of our focusses,” Parker said.

“And now that we’re approaching the holiday season we’ll be stepping it up.”

In his remarks, Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski said MADD has been a major force for many years in bringing awareness to the problem of drunk driving.

“We are pleased to be flying the red ribbons from our City vehicles,” he said.

Stetski added that recent crime statistics compiled by the RCMP revealed an interesting trend — perhaps a disturbing trend. Crime in every category is down locally, he noted, except in the area of impaired driving.

The were seven total impaired driving charges and refusal charges in 2013, and 13 Barry Coulter photo such charges in 2014 The ribbon is cut, declaring the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) campaign underway. The ribbon is cut by Cpl. Shayne (an increase of 85.7 per Parker of the Cranbrook RCMP, Katryna Sigurdson, Community Leader for the MADD Kimberley and Cranbrook Chapter, and cent).

“We need to respect the money given to the city and use it with prudence.”

Urban deer has been

an issue that has slowly snowballed in the community, and Faiers adds that the most socially acceptable option needs to be pursued in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment, which

means translocation.

However, he is also supportive of a cull if it is needed.

Outside of his career, Faiers has served with many non-profit organizations over the last 30 years, working in the fields of forestry,

land-use, planning, hunting and trapping.

Owning and operating True Flite Archery has taught him the challenges that come with running a small business, and he is very much supportive of shopping local.

SAR conducts successful rope rescue Kimberley Search and Rescue safely rescue woman who fell near Meachen Creek Falls C ARO LYN GRAN T Bulletin Editor

Cpl. Chris Newel, Operations NCO for Kimberley RCMP, reports that on Sunday, November 2, Kimberley Search and Rescue (SAR) successfully performed a technical rope rescue of a woman who had fallen into the creek while hiking near Meachen Falls.

“The woman had been out the day before for a walk when she lost her footing around 5 p.m. (Saturday) and fell into the water,” Newel said. “Some of her clothing was lost in the current, but she managed to make her way out of the creek to a nearby ledge and wait.”

The woman waited overnight, he says, and it wasn’t until the next

day that two hikers heard her call for help around 11:30 a.m. and contacted RCMP. RCMP immediately activated Kimberley Search and Rescue through Emergency Management BC., Newel says.

“Fourteen volunteers including a dedicated rope rescue team attended the scene.

“The woman was taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital by ambulance where she is reported to be in good health. She was suffering from hypothermia from her 16 hour ordeal.”

“The team performed a difficult rescue, in an absolutely stellar manner,” said Scott MacLeod, the Search Manager and President of Kimberley

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

History’s butchers In reply to Ferdy Belland’s diatribe against the “Harry Potter-looking chowderhead” who dressed as Adolf Hitler at the recent Fort Steele Spooktacular: Whoa, Ferdy! Get a grip, boy. The “jerk who dressed as Hitler” was in a costume. Dressing in costume for Halloween is a form of artistic expression. Do you, Ferdy, support censorship of artistic expression? Would you encourage the staff of Fort Steele to ban costumes they found offensive? This is a free country and, even though his costume may not have been appropriate in your opinion, he has a right to wear it.

If this boy had dressed as Vlad the Impaler (aka Dracula) or Genghis Khan, would you have been so shocked and driven to write the newspaper criticizing him for portraying a “human butcher”? Both of these men were truly butchers of humans, wielding the sword themselves!

I don’t believe any of the innocent little children at the Fort Steele Spooktacular were aware of or even knew of Adolf Hitler and if you decide to dress as the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan next year, I am sure the kids will think you are some sort of a goofy ghost.

P.S.: What have you got against Harry Potter’s looks? I think he’s kind of cute.

Kathleen Simon Cranbrook

About Cranbrook’s taxes At a recent workshop titled “Small Business, the Driver of a Local Economy”, the presenter showed Cranbrook having the fourth highest taxes in BC per population size. The most recent BC Stats are from 2013, showing there are only nine municipalities with populations between 16,000 and 24,000. (Courtney is outside the range but close at 24,314). Either way Cranbrook is around the middle.

There is concern among the business community re the gap between residential and commercial property taxes.

Having previously worked in economic research, I looked at The Canadian Federation of Independent Business Report “B.C. Municipal Property Tax Gaps 200313: A 10-Year Perspective” (published October 2014) http://www.cfib-fcei.ca/ cfib-documents/BC1003.pdf • Appendix 2: 2013 BC Municipal Property Tax Gap Rankings — by Municipal Property Tax Gap, Cranbrook ranks 94th from best to worst out of 161 municipalities.

• Appendix 3: 2013 BC Municipal Property Tax Gap Rankings — by Municipality, Cranbrook ranks 90th out of 161.

While property taxes are a deductible expense for businesses, and not for residents, many small businesses do struggle with property taxes. Some municipalities have different approaches for dealing with commercial taxes that might be worth opening up for discussion.

renovations. Both of these individuals are misleading the public and wrong in their statements.

The downtown tax relief zone and strategy are products of the previous mayor and council. The concept and the actual bylaw was in place before they were elected. Mr. Stetski, in his summary of accomplishments implied that the award winning design and construction of our waste water, spray irrigation field system was somehow part of his accomplishments. The irony here is that Mr. Stetski’s last campaign went to great lengths to discredit the entire project. His only involvement was that after the election, he travelled east to receive the award for the city.

The redesign and upgrade to our spray irrigation system was the result of Mayor Manjak, the previous council, our MLA Mr. Bennett, our MP Mr. Wilks and most importantly our dedicated staff lead by our engineer, Jamie Hodge. Transparency is extremely important but without facts, the image is blurred. Please vote on November 15.

open, supporting the development of a kids’ spray park, or having a parade float represent us in other cities? If it is the latter, are they so naive as to believe that a community can progress without spending? Or is it that they are willing to settle for the status quo at the risk of regressing to a time of fear and doubt about our future?

The Reserve Fund has been used as it was intended when it was first created by City bylaw in 1959. It has been invested (not spent) in areas that will help our community to maintain its quality of life and continue to create appeal for those looking to move here. In the past 55 years it has been drawn down and replenished, primarily through sales of city owned land, many times. Anticipated land sales will again replenish the fund and provide more money to invest in our community.

In fact, we should be thanking the City Council for using the Reserve Fund rather than having each of us bear the burden through taxes, to cover costs of upgrades and improvements.

In response to recent letters written about the Kimberley Reserve Fund (Daily Bulletin, October 23, October 28). It’s a shame that election time is reduced to a time of attempting to discredit decisions made by City Council.

The Reserve Fund, something that has been invested wisely is suddenly called into question. Do those who dispute this spending call into question the value of each of these expenditures or is it that they believe that the money that is intended for the betterment of the community should sit idle. If it is the former, do they dispute keeping the Marysville Arena

Dear Mayor McRae: You have stated that business licences have increased by 40 per cent. How many businesses is that? Will these businesses occupy some of the empty stores in town?

Will they be paying business taxes? How about employing some of our residents? Or are these businesses home-based with minimum taxes and overhead.?

Please do not give us generalities. As voters we need facts so as to make an informed decision when voting.

he climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere.

And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume to de-

cide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon diBC VIEWS oxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is Tom one reason it is often flared Fletcher rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids.

Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t no-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

tice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Cranbrook’s Erin White named to ACAC Women’s Soccer South All-Conference Team Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Cranbrook’s Erin White has been named to the 2014-15 Alberta Colleges Athletic Association (ACAC) Women’s Soccer South All-Conference Team.

The ACAC announced the rosters for the both the North and South All-Conference Teams Oct. 24.

“It was pretty special,” White said over the phone from Calgary.

“I’ve been playing soccer since I was young. A lot of hard work goes into making all the practices and attending all the games, so it was nice to be recognized for that, especially in a college league.

“Coming from a small town, where we don’t have a college [that] offers soccer as a sport there, coming to another city was special to receive that [award] repre-

senting my hometown.”

White, 19, completed her second season with the Southern Alberta Institute Technology (SAIT) Trojans this fall.

The Trojans finished the campaign 4-5-1, just missing out on post-season action.

The 5-foot-11 defender recalled playing rep soccer when she was nine years old at home in Cranbrook before moving on and playing high-school soccer at Mount Baker Secondary School.

“I remember having very good coaches growing up,” White added. “Even being from a small town, I was very privileged to receive good coaching from people who actually care about your development in the sport.”

White suited up in all 10 games for the Trojans during the 2014 ACAC soccer season.

Trojans assistant coach John Talerico said White is a fantastic, smart and quick player who reads the game well. According to Talerico, White was not only present at all regular team practices, she put in time at extra, optional sessions, focusing on detailed areas of the game to help take her play to the next level.

“She was there every week [at optional practice sessions] working on the little things that add up,” Talerico said.

“Really, that went a long way for her and went noticed by the coaching community in selecting her for the [All-Conference team].”

White wasn’t the only Trojan named to the ACAC South All-Conference team as she was joined by midfielder Cassey Bush and goalkeeper Katrina Greenley.

Dynamiters split weekend festivities Nitros shutout by Osoyoos before besting Golden

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters earned a twogame split on home ice this weekend, falling 4-0 to the Osoyoos Coyotes Friday before getting past the Golden Rockets 6-4 Saturday. “[The Coyotes] were much more physical than us,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Monday afternoon. “When you play that way, you get your feet moving. They played well. They’re a good team. It was a good eye-opener for our guys.

“They just took it to us.”

Friday night, goaltender Brett Reader made his Kimberley Dynamiters debut after Liam McBain was deemed not fit to play due to a bout with strep throat.

Reader, an 18-yearold native of Langley, B.C., turned in a stellar performance, stopping 30 of the 34 shots he faced in his debut.

The 5-foot-11 Reader

gave his team a chance to win, turning aside 23 of the 24 shots he faced through the opening 40 minutes of play.

“I thought he played extremely well,” Bancks said of Reader. “He probably would like to have one back, but he also kept us in the game.

Being down 1-0 going into the third with a power play, we had a chance to win and that was all on his shoulders.

“Friday he proved that he’s a gamer.”

After Colten Braid put one past the rookie puck-stopper early in the second period, Jackson DeMatos gave the Coyotes some insurance with a short-handed tally early in the third.

Colin Bell and Aaron Azevedo rounded out the scoring for the Coyotes, who got a 19-save shutout performance between the pipes from Lawrence Langan.

Saturday night was an all-Eddie Mountain Division match-up as the Golden Rockets travelled south to Kimberley.

After Friday’s setback, the Dynamiters were able to get back into the win column thanks to a two-goal performance by forward Tyson Klingspohn. The Penticton native continues to lead the KIJHL in goal-scoring with 19 goals in 18 games.

Forward Eric Buckley chipped in with a goal and three assists of his own.

Defenceman Jordan Busch made his return to the lineup, after serving a one-game suspension Friday against the Coyotes. The blue-liner grabbed two assists in the win and according to Bancks, his presence had an immediate impact.

“He always tries to make a play,” Bancks said of Busch. “He has really good vision and does a great job [moving the puck]. When he’s in the lineup, we tend to break out of our end a lot better.”

After sitting out Friday, goaltender Liam McBain was healthy

enough to start Saturday, stopping 24 of the 28 shots he faced.

A rough third period led to some extra-curricular activity between the whistles.

Dynamiters defenceman Charles Dagostin received a one-game suspension Sunday after he received a game misconduct in the final 10 minutes of the win over Golden.

Dagostin earned the misconduct after getting into a scrap with Rockets defenceman Daniel Dahlin, who was also ejected from the game.

Dahlin was also on the receiving end of a onegame suspension Sunday.

The Nitros (12-4-0-2) sit one point back of the Fernie Ghostriders (132-0-1), who got past the Coyotes 4-3 in overtime Saturday night.

Friday marks the first contest of the year between the two Eddie Mountain Division rivals, as the Dynamiters make the trek to Fernie for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.

leadership [from Erin] and the knowledge and background of what to expect,” Talerico said, hopeful for White to return to the program in 2015. “She will be a great, great leader [in the future].”

Rounding out the ACAC South All-Conference team are forwards Katrina Letwiniuk (Medicine Hat College), Jessica Small (Olds College), Jessice Whyte (Red Deer College); midfielders Jordyn Bell-

Ham (Medicine Hat College), Meagan Clarke (Medicine Hat College), Leesa Eggum (Lakeland College); and defenders Mariah Lay (Medicine Hat College) and Victoria Poitras (Lethbridge College).

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I was a teenager I gave up a child for adoption. Eighteen years later, “Doris” came looking for me, and we formed a very cordial relationship. By then, I was married and had three other children. Doris was also married, with children, and she and I visited often. I attended funerals, weddings, births, birthdays, dance recitals and holiday gatherings with her family for some 25 years.

When my husband died and Doris divorced, things changed, and I don’t know why. She became distant. When she eventually remarried, I was happy for her. But when I married again six years after my husband died, she agreed to be in the wedding and then told me neither she nor her children would attend.

Apparently, she had a disagreement with my daughter and couldn’t apologize. It has been three years, and there has been no attempt on either side to reconcile. Doris repeatedly told me not to contact her or her children, so I haven’t. Her children want nothing to do with me, and I was not invited to her oldest child’s wedding.

Doris is a troubled woman and lies constantly. I suspect she has told her children -- my grandchildren -- all kinds of untrue things about our estrangement. She lied to her adoptive mother that I hadn’t invited her to my wedding, and when I said I had her message recorded on my answering machine, she went ballistic.

She seems sociopathic to me. Is this genetic or environmental? She has been in counseling since childhood and admits to manipulating the counselors. I’m not sure what to do. -- Confused Dear Confused: We wouldn’t attempt to diagnose Doris. It simply seems that whatever argument she had with your daughter precipitated a more complicated estrangement. You can try to get to the bottom of it, but you’d have to be very gentle and patient, and we cannot promise results. Frankly, we are surprised you had 25 good years. Many adoptee reunions don’t work out nearly so well.

Dear Annie: I have a problem with being kept waiting in doctors’ offices. I am paid by the hour, and if I have to wait too long for the appointment, my pay is docked.

I try to schedule appointments with my primary care physician for first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. But several times in the past year, I have been kept waiting beyond what I believe is reasonable.

Once I sat there for nearly two hours. Another time, I was kept waiting for 45 minutes to have blood drawn -- a 10-minute procedure.

When I ask the receptionist for an update, I’m given an evasive answer. I have filed complaints with my HMO health insurance company to no avail.

I have considered changing primary care doctors, but I am afraid it will just be the same somewhere else. How do I find a physician in my area who does not keep people waiting? -- California Patient Dear California: There is no reason a primary care physician needs to make you wait two hours for a standard appointment. First ask your friends and family for referrals, and “interview” the physicians to ask how long the average wait time is. Also check to see whether any of them keep evening or weekend hours. Then tell your doctor why you are leaving his practice.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Glad We Didn’t Wait.” My situation with my 92-yearold mother was similar. The boxes under her bed were filled with old photos with no names or dates. Mom suggested we make cards out of them and send them to younger family members and friends who might recognize a face or two. So we did.

We received responses from several, but even those who didn’t recognize anyone enjoyed the cards as they were. All was not lost!

Strong outlook for daily newspapers

S

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

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

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

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

That’s not changing.

The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day.

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

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

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

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

Harper prepares for trip to China amid division Lee-Anne Goodman CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper heads to China this week amid serious divisions in the Conservative ranks over Canada’s relationship with its No. 2 trading partner.

Harper held an upbeat photo-op with the Chinese ambassador in his Langevin Block office late last week to announce his third visit to the country following a long-standing invitation from President Xi Jinping.

But the warm encounter was in stark contrast to months of chilly relations between the two countries that almost iced the visit entirely, an expert on Chinese-Canadian relations says.

“I think the invitation has been on the table for a year and a half, and there was no decision until very recently; it was on-again, off-again,” said Paul Evans, author of “Engaging China” and an international relations professor at the University of British Columbia.

“It’s extraordinary that there seems to have been no decision until

very recently.”

Since Harper’s last visit to China in 2012, the Conservatives restricted state-owned Chinese investment in Alberta’s oilsands and have yet to respond to an invitation to negotiate a free-trade agreement with China.

The government also dragged its heels on ratifying a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with the Chinese.

Tensions reached a fever pitch in recent months after Harper accused the Chinese of a cyberattack on the National Research Council; the Chinese, meanwhile, have accused a Canadian couple living in China of spying.

Still, Evans said, those recent irritants could have - and likely should have - been handled via diplomatic efforts. That Harper publicly went loud and large on the espionage accusations is indicative of just how conflicted the Conservatives remain about China.

Employment Minister Jason Kenney, for example, expressed misgivings about forging closer ties with China as

recently as this spring.

Several cabinet ministers, including Kenney, feel China “is a godless totalitarian country with nuclear weapons aimed at us,” Evans said.

“China is difficult for any government anywhere; it’s really complicated and high-stakes terrain. But in Canada, you have a significant portion of cabinet, caucus and the Conservative base itself that is very negative about China.”

A government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Harper intends to raise human rights concerns in a “frank dialogue” with the Chinese leadership - an issue the source described as a “delicate balance.”

Even though Harper is pursuing an economic agenda to build trade and investment with the Chinese, he won’t shy away from raising concerns about the rule of law, good governance and democracy, said the source, saying the prime minister would represent “values that define us as Canadians.”

Polish official criticizes US for seeking Polanski’s arrest Vanessa Ger a ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARSAW, Poland An adviser to the Polish president accused U.S. authorities on Monday of “absolute ignorance” in seeking the arrest of film director Roman Polanski, a Holocaust survivor, while he was in Poland last week for the opening of a Jewish history museum.

The comments underline the dilemma of Poland in the face of continued attempts by the U.S. to seek Polanski’s arrest on 1977 charges of having sex with a minor.

Poland is a close U.S. ally. But the Polish political class has shown a strong aversion to arresting and extraditing the Oscar-winning Polish-French filmmaker, who made his first films in Poland and is admired as a representative of Polish culture.

“I think that Polish

citizens, especially in cases of crimes whose statute of limitations have run out, should not be subject to extradition,” Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said when asked about the Polanski case.

Polanski, 81, who lives in France, attended the opening of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw on Oct. 28 before travelling to Krakow, his childhood city.

Polish authorities questioned him there because of the U.S. request, but refused to arrest him.

Tomasz Nalecz, adviser to President Bronislaw Komorowski, said he felt it was inappropriate to seek the arrest of a “child of the Holocaust” in Poland during the opening of the museum, which highlights Poland’s role as a safe haven for Jews for centuries before the Holo-

caust.

“From the point of view of Polish history,” the U.S. official who requested the arrest “showed absolute ignorance,” Nalecz said.

The U.S. Embassy didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Polanski, who has Jewish origins, lost his mother at Auschwitz.

He survived the war assuming a non-Jewish identity.

Polish media say Polanski has been seeking guarantees that Poland won’t extradite him as he plans to direct a new film in Poland next year on the Dreyfus affair, the early 20th century French spy scandal.

Aleksander Kwasniewski, president from 1995-2005, said the U.S. was not as interested then as it is now in arresting Polanski, whose work in Poland in those years included filming scenes for “The Pianist.”

Movie starring big names will film in B.C.’s north Okanagan THE C ANADIAN PRESS

KELOWNA, B.C. Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars will descend on British Columbia’s North Okanagan next week as filming for the feature film “Go With Me” begins.

The film features Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins and will be shot in Enderby and Lumby.

The star of “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Thor: The Dark World” and “Red 2” is teaming up with Ray Liotta, who had principal roles in “Goodfellas” and “Field of Dreams.” Julia Stiles, who acted in “The Bourne Supremacy” and “Silver Linings Playbook,” also has a role.

“Go With Me” is directed by Sweden’s Daniel Alfredson, known for his work on the international mystery thrillers “The Girl Who Played with Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.”

“Go With Me” is co-produced by Rick Dugdale, an Enderby native who’s now one of the principals in Enderby Entertainment, an independent film, television and digital media company based

Sir Anthony Hopkins will soon be in the north Okanagan to film an upcoming movie with other Hollywood stars. in Los Angeles.

“We are very pleased to have Rick, who has brought production to the area previously, return to the Okanagan to shoot this film and to bring such a prestigious director and talent to our region,” said Okanagan film commissioner Jon Summerland in a written statement.

Nearly half the film crew are from the Okanagan, Summerland said.

There is also work for background actors and a casting session is set for Tuesday in Enderby.

“Go With Me” is based on the 2008 novel of the same name

by Castle Freeman Jr. and adapted by Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs. The story is set in a Pacific Northwest logging community and focuses on a young woman who has just returned to her hometown, according to Variety.

The woman becomes the victim of harassment by an ex-cop turned crime boss. She seeks help from an ex-logger, played by Hopkins, and his young sidekick to protect her against the stalker.

Hopkins, 76, is co-producing the film with Dugdale and three others. He recently acted in another film directed by Alfredson,

playing a beer tycoon in “Kidnapping Freddy Heineken,” a film about Heineken’s kidnapping in 1983. The movie is set for release early next year.

Summerland says “Go With Me” has a “healthy” budget, though he didn’t disclose numbers. He credits his relationship with Dugdale as part of the reason the film is being shot in the Okanagan.

“We are finding that once a production company has worked here, they like to come back as our locations, amenities and crews have so much to offer,” Summerland said.

Vancouver man files human rights complaint over advance poll locations C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - A Vancouver man has filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal claiming the city’s most vulnerable people are being shut out of voting in advance polls for the Nov. 15 civic election.

Mark Handley says in a statement that the locations for the advance polls are too far away from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside where many of the city’s homeless and poor live.

His complaint says poor people living in the Downtown Eastside, East Hastings, Mount Pleasant and the Grandview-Woodlands neighbourhoods are being discriminated against, with preferential treatment given to wealthier people living on the Vancouver’s westside.

Handley says the eastside’s advance polling stations are an average of 50 blocks away from the downtown core and many of the area’s poor can’t afford to

Air force commander appears to suggest revenge at play in Canada’s Iraq mission THE C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force appears to be injecting a new element into the rationale for Canada joining the international air war in Iraq: revenge.

A photograph was posted to Lt.-Gen. Yvan Blondin’s Twitter account Saturday that appears to

be from the funeral of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, killed in October by a known jihadist.

Along with the photo, Blondin wrote: “Dear ISIL, thinking of you. Some of my colleagues are in your area. Hopefully, they’ll have a chance to drop by.”

The tweet was deleted Monday afternoon.

On Sunday, two CF-18 jet fighters dropped laser-guided bombs in the vicinity of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, the first such Canadian activity in Iraq since the airstrikes were authorized.

Details on the intended targets and the effectiveness of the strikes were expected at a briefing scheduled for Tuesday.
