Grizzly put down after chicken coop raid at Jimsmith Lake A R N E PE TRYSHEN

In the early hours of Monday morning, conservation officers responded to a call about a hungry grizzly bear. The grizzly was at a residence in the Jimsmith Lake area and had broken into a chicken coop to eat chickens. Conservation officer Ray Gilewicz said that while there weren’t any reports on the bear, it had to be put down. He noted the bear showed up just outside the city boundary in a fairly rural area with acreages. The landowner had

chicken coups. “At 2 a.m. in the morning, the landowner reported to CO services that this bear was on site,” Gilewicz said. “We attended and the bear was on site as reported. It was a young — probably a three year old — grizzly male, and it was eating the chickens basically in her yard.” He said there was a safety concern with the bears presence in the human populated area. “The decision was made that this bear was going to be put down

and it was,” Gilewicz said. It was Elisabeth Vanderkooy who called the grizzly in. Vanderkooy was

awoken by her dogs in the middle of the night. She could hear the chickens making noise. “I went out outside thinking it was a skunk

in the chicken pen,” she said. “Then I saw the bear on top of the [chicken] house.”

With the many bear sightings and the frequency of those encounters that turn nasty for the bears involved, it may be nice to hear a story with a happier ending.

Jared Connatty, conservation officer, said in the case of a mature sow and her cubs, the results were positive for all involved. On Aug. 31, Conservation Officers trapped the three bears on a

large ranch property just outside of Hosmer, near Fernie. Connatty noted there were ongoing occurrences involving the bears, though nothing too serious.

The Canal Flats saw mill will close permanently in early November following an announcement from the company on Wednesday. “Our CEO and members of the senior management team were in Canal Flats today to announce the permanent closure of the facility,” said Corrine Stavness. “While we understand how difficult this will be for our employees and the community of Canal Flats, recent downturns in the oil and gas and lumber markets that the mill served combined with a lack of economically available fibre for the mill have brought operating losses we can no longer sustain. “Moving to permanent closure means that the employees impacted by this announcement will be entitled to severance. We expect the last day of operations for the mill to be No-

Conservation Officers managed to capture a family of three grizzly bears — a sow and two cubs — in the Hosmer area and then successfully released them using hard release tactics so that the bears will hopefully avoid the area in the future. Pictured above a male cub is stuck in a trap. Next to him the sow is caught in blue culvert trap.

COs ‘hard release’ grizzlies Continued from page 1 The bear family — a smaller sow with two cubs, each around a year and a half old — had been sighted by people in the area foraging on the natural food sources. “Once in a while they would slip in and grab the odd chicken, kill a chicken — that kind of thing,” he said. “We ended up deploying some trapping efforts to see if we could catch them and ended up catching all of them.” Connatty said the circumstances are always different. He compared this to the bear euthanized recently in the Jimsmith area. That one was a young male grizzly specifically targeting chicken coops and getting into conflict that way. “Whereas this one kind of still showed some natural, normal behaviours,” he said. “We collared the sow and ear pegged both of the young ones there and did what is called a hard release on site.” The collar is another mechanism that allows the COs to monitor the sow. Connatty said the intent is to give those bears a really negative experience with that area so that they avoid the area in the future.

“Right now we’re just monitoring her collar. She hasn’t left the area, but she hasn’t come into conflict.” Connatty explained the nature of the hard release. “We utilize the sirens on the trucks,” he noted. “When they leave the

trap, after they have fully recovered from being immobilized, they come out of the trap and are shot with rubber bullets. It’s not a lethal round, it’s just some pain compliance, some bangs and some loud noises, things like that. It’s a real stressful situation that they don’t

like. That’s the whole point, that they don’t like it.” They let the bears go one at a time into the bush close together. “It doesn’t happen very often, because it’s not often we have a bear that really fits that description.”

Hard drugs seized, dealer busted Chris Ne wel For the Townsman

On September 4 and again on Sept 8, police seized a quantity of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin from a 24-year-old male. Police had received information about a male believed to be from the Lower Mainland that was trafficking in a controlled substance in Cranbrook. Subsequent investigation found the subject had recently

arrived in the area and had rented a condo in Kimberley. On September 4, police executed a traffic stop on highway 95A in Wycliffe. The driver was arrested and a search found the illicit drugs. Further information was obtained and officers were able to get a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act for the condo unit in Kimberley. On September 8 the warrant

The subject appeared before a Judicial Justice of the Peace on Sept 5 and was remanded in custody unit his next appearance on Sept 9. The subject is expected to appear in court again today on additional charges given the new evidence.

PUBLIC NOTICE

TAKE NOTICE THAT THE CITY OF KIMBERLEY IS CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF KIMBERLEY ZONING BYLAW NO. 1850. The amendment is proposed to allow for two-unit (duplex) dwelling units on this land. The subject land comprises approximately 0.11 ha (12,000sf ), situated at the intersection of Marsden Street and Montgomery Avenue. The owner of the land is proposing to subdivide the lot and build two duplex dwelling units. If approved, the subject property will be zoned to permit two-unit dwellings. Currently it is zoned to permit multiple dwelling buildings of three or more units. Bylaw No. 2524 (Amendment No. 125, 2015 to Zoning Bylaw No. 1850) proposes to create a new “Two Family Residential: R-14” zone and to rezone the subject land from “Multiple Family Residential R-3” to the new R-14 zone. The proposed intent of the R-14 zone is to allow for two-family residential development. Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 2506

Vanderkooy saw the bear break into the pen, grab a chicken and begin to eat it. “Then he ran into the the bushes, and came back and I called the CO,” she said. The bear ate four of Vanderkooy’s 12 chickens. She even blew an air horn a few time, which didn’t faze the bear at all. “From there I knew I had a problem,” she said. She said it was a sad situation all around. “You don’t like it to happen, but sometimes there are no choices in life,” she said. She’s accustomed to dealing with bears

around her residence and dealt with a black bear last year which she managed to scare away. “You get used to it up here,” she said. “It’s part of living in the bush.” Vanderkooy said she is also not worried about keeping chickens. Gilewicz said there is a lot of bear activity at moment. The bears are looking for natural food sources, like chokecherries and apples. “Once they start tearing open chicken coups next to residences, it just shows a further progression by this bear into human food sources and habituated to human-related properties,” he said. “If they’re out skirting around people’s

The proposed bylaw 2524 applies to the land legally described as Parcel A Plan NEP5902, District Lot 1879, Kootenay Land District except Plan SRW NEP23641 (see XG-34557) and shown in heavy black outline on the above map. A Public Hearing for bylaw 2524 will be held on Monday, September 14, 2015 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC. If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw, you may: a. Submit written presentations to City Hall prior to the hearing, or b. Submit written and/or verbal presentations at the hearing. You may inspect the proposed amending bylaws and the supporting documentation at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC, from 8:30 am to 4:45 pm weekdays until the date of the hearing.

properties and just staying on the vegetation, then we can try hazing and those sorts of things, but once they’ve showed that desire to go beyond that and start taking livestock and destroying property and not showing any fear towards humans, it’s of more concern to us and to public safety.” Gilewicz said each situation is unique and there have been quite a few sightings of bears recently. He said landowners can do hazing and can remove attractants to help lower the risk of bears coming around. Wildsafe reported that nine bears had been killed in Fernie, Elko, Sparwood and Elkford.

fairly well.” The jobs in the plant ripple throughout the region as employees live in Canal Flats or commute from places such as Cranbrook, Kimberley, Radium and Invermere. Canal Flats CAO Brian Woodward said the closure announcement came as a shock. “The mill is by far our largest employer,” he said. “We have so many questions. Are they going to sell it? At this point in time we are organizing a transition

team with the Ministry of Jobs and the Village will participate in that process. But we have no answers. There are issues of taxation, and there are at least 30 families living in Canal Flats affected by this. Will they retire? Be bought out? “We just don’t know. It’s a bit of a shock for everyone.” In it’s current existence, the mill has been in operation since 1969, however, there has been a mill in the Canal Flats area for the last 100 years.

Kimberley flume progress delayed C AROLYN GR ANT

The upstream portion of the flume rehab project — that being from the Wallinger Avenue bridge and past B&B Glass — is proceeding on schedule, according to Don Schacher, Project Coordinator. However, downstream, past BJ’s Restaurant is experiencing some delays. City CAO Scott Sommerville says that part of the project is about five weeks behind schedule and could experience some cost overruns. The issue is the fact that BJ’s sits so very close to the creek. The building will be within one metre of the rock work when it’s completed, says Mayor Don Mc-

Cormick. “The whole area around BJ’s continues to be a concern,” McCormick said. “The excavation is going to be so close to the foundation of the building, we have to get it right. “We knew it was going to be difficult. The solarium is off the back of the building. It’s within a metre of the top of the rocks. But at the end of it all, it will be spectacular. Everyone who lives along the flume has had a property upgrade.” Engineers are working on the problem, but it has caused a setback in the schedule. “As a result, that portion of the flume is behind by an estimated five weeks” McCormick

said. “However, there should be an opportunity to make up time once we have the problem solved.” Regardless, the project will be finished this year, the Mayor says. “The contractor doesn’t want to have to come back in the spring, they have other obligations. It will be finished.” McCormick says it looks like cost overruns will be around two per cent, which would be a contingency expense. However, Council is being kept apprised of progress on a weekly basis. “Right now we are looking at a two per cent cost overrun. Given the complexity of the project, that’s within reason.”

Days Inn in Cranbrook is back in business after an extensive $2 million renovation. Realstar Hospitality took over the hotel 600 Cranbrook Street North in May, 2015, and this week hosted a grand reopening. One of the first things owner Alnoor Nathoo decided to do was renovate. “The property remained closed for just about a month in order for us to renovate both the hotel exterior and interior,” said Nathoo. “In order to provide ideal accommodations for both business and leisure travellers alike, we knew a full overhaul was required.” Upgrades include a renovated lobby, fitness centre and meeting

room, as well as new furniture, lighting and carpeting throughout the hotel. Guestroom upgrades include new paint, contemporary dark wood furniture, beds with triple sheeting, along with new tile and tubs in the bathroom. The hotel exterior has undergone a complete reface. The hotel features 89 guest rooms, free Daybreak Cafe breakfast, an

outdoor heated pool free parking and close proximity to various dining options. An onsite guest laundry facility is expected to be complete by end of October. The Cranbrook location is Nathoo’s third Days Inn hotel. His other two hotels, — Days Inn & Suites in Cochrane, opened in 2009 ,and Days Inn in Calgary Northwest, opened in 2012.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Mandatory Watering Restrictions – Even though temperatures have dropped and we have received some rain, dam levels still remain low. The City is urging residents to continue to obey all mandatory watering restrictions. The City is now sprinkling all parks off the Mark Creek water system every 3rd day and only for ten minutes at a time. The Platzl fountain will only run from 12:00-5:00 pm. The Water Department will be out looking for leaks in certain zones. All water leaks are top priority and will be fixed in a timely matter to prevent more water loss. The City is trying to prevent placing further restrictions on residents. Residents of properties with even-numbered addresses water only on even-numbered calendar days, and residents of properties with oddnumbered addresses water only on odd-numbered calendar days. If you have any questions, please call the operations desk at 250-427-9660 or operations@kimberley.ca. What is the City of Kimberley Doing to Conserve Water? – The City has installed a system called Flow Works to collect and analyze data related to the City’s water system. Flow Works assists water utility crews with locating and repairing water leaks in a timely manner. The 5-year capital plan includes the systematic replacement of leaky water mains throughout the City. By reducing the consumption of water, we can all help reduce the cost of water treatment and extend the life of the existing water system. Be Bear Smart – There have been multiple bear sightings around the City and on the Rails to Trails. Please remember that bears are out in search of food. The biggest attractant for bears in our community is garbage. Properly secure your garbage, and keep it indoors until pick-up, or until you can take it to the transfer station. Everyone likes the smell of a barbeque, bears included! Please remember to properly clean your BBQ after using it.

The Bad Thing About LAWS O ne of my daughters once proposed that my t-shirt should read: “I don’t support war, but war supports me.” And it’s true, I suppose. I write about lots of other things too, but I have been studying war, writing about wars, going to wars (but never fighting in one) for the whole of my adult life, partly because international relations are so heavily militarised, but also because for anybody who is interested in human behaviour, war is as fascinating as it is horrible. So you might assume that I would leap into action, laptop in hand, when I learned that almost 3,000 “researchers, experts and entrepreneurs” have signed an open letter calling for a ban on developing artifical intelligence (AI) for “lethal autonomous weapons systems” (LAWS), or military robots for short. Instead, I yawned. Heavy artillery fire is much more terrifying than the Terminator. The people who signed the letter included celebrities of the science and hightech worlds like Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, cosmologist Stephen Hawking, Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn, Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google DeepMind and, of course, Noam Chomsky. They presented their letter in late July to the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, meeting this year in Buenos Aires. They were quite clear about what worried them: “The key question for humanity today is whether to start a global AI arms race or to prevent it from starting. If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is virtually inevitable, and the endpoint of this technological trajectory is obvious: autonomous weapons will become

the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow.” “Unlike nuclear weapons, they require no costly or hard-to-obtain raw materials, so they will become ubiquitous and cheap for all significant military powers to mass-produce. It will only be a matter of time until they appear on the black market and in the hands of terrorists, dictators wishing to better control their populations, warlords wishing to perpetrate ethnc cleansing, etc.” “Autonomous weapons are ideal for tasks such as assassinations, destabilisnations, subduing popGwynne ing ulations and selectively killing a particular ethnic Dyer group. We therefore believe that a military AI arms race would not be beneficial for humanity.” Well, no, it wouldn’t be beneficial for humanity. Few arms races are. But are autonomous weapons really “the key question for humanity today”? Probably not. We have a few other things on our plate that feel a lot more “key”, like climate change, nine civil wars in the Muslim parts of the world (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, southeastern Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and northeastern Nigeria) – and, of course, nuclear weapons. The scientists and experts who signed the open letter were quite right to demand an international agreement banning further work on autonomous weapons, because we don’t really need yet another high-tech way to kill people. It’s not impossible that they might succeed, either, although it will be a lot harder than banning blinding laser weapons or cluster bombs. But autonomous weapons of the sort currently under development are not going to change the world drastically. They are not “the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms,” as one

military pundit breathlessly described them. They are just another nasty weapons system. What drives the campaign is a conflation of two different ideas: weapons that kill people without a human being in the decision-making loop, and true AI. The latter certainly would change the world, as we would then have to share our world for good or ill with non-human intelligences — but almost all the people active in the field say that human-level AI is still a long way off in the future, if it is possible at all. As for weapons that kill people without a human being choosing the victims, those we have in abundance already. From land mines to nuclear-tipped missiles, there are all sorts of weapons that kill people without discrimination in the arsenals of the world’s armed forces. We also have a wide variety of weapons that will kill specific individuals (guns, for example), and we already know how to “selectively kill a particular ethnic group,” too. Combine autonomous weapons with true AI, and you get the Terminator, or indeed Skynet. Without that level of AI, all you get is another way of killing people that may, in certain circumstances, be more efficient than having another human being do the job. It’s not pretty, but it’s not very new either. The thing about autonomous weapons that really appeals to the major military powers is that, like the current generation of remote-piloted drones, they can be used with impunity in poor countries. Moreover, like drones, they don’t put the lives of rich-country soldiers at risk. That’s a really good reason to oppose them — and if poor countries realise what they are in for, a good opportunity to organise a strong diplomatic coalition that wants to ban them.

Kootenay Elk History The ups and downs of a former plains animal in the mountains of southeastern BC

FJ Hurtak

riginally, there were five sub-species of North American elk, but as a result of human encroachment only three remain in existence today: the Rossevelt, Tule and the Rocky Mountain Elk. The latter of the three inhabits the majority of regions in North America, including the Kootenay regions of British Columbia. The Rocky Mountain Elk was once a plains animal and its ability to adapt to food sources located in mountainous terrain, no doubt, saved this sub-species from extinction as well. More than 200 years ago, the best food sources for elk resulted from periodic wildfires. As the forest took over the fire dependent grasslands elk populations declined until the area burned again. Elk were easily accessible to early settlers in those areas with a recent fire history. These areas were also the more popular areas for settlement, as they provided abundant grass for settler’s livestock. The meat provided sustenance while the hides provided warmth in the frigid winter months. Elk populations declined as a result of competition from forest succession, competition from domestic livestock (as well as feral domestic stock, like wild horses) and from localized over-harvests and commercial harvests for elk ivories to supply the demand from Elks Lodge members. Elk’ Lodge members at that time achieved greater status amongst their fraternity if they were in possession of coveted elk ivories or antlers. Consequently, in those very early years, they had a negative impact on elk populations. However, once the senior executives of the Club were made aware of the fact that they were contributing to a declining elk population, the practice was discouraged. Elk populations were dealt another blow in the latter part of the 1800s by a series of severe winters. By the early 1900s the only elk left in the Kootenay region were small herds found in isolated mountain pockets of the Upper Kootenay River, the Upper Elk Valley and the Duncan Lake areas. The nutritious plant life in avalanche chutes provided the

Elk have a long history in the Kootenays. elk with enough feed to just barely sustain the herds. Then Mother Natures cast her hand into the fray. Wildfires scorched many western regions and after a few years the burns yielded much vegetation in the form of lush grass and bushes. Elk populations took advantage of the newly created grasslands and exploded right across the west, and for the next 50 years populations spiralled up or down depending on the overall conditions of the forests. If there were no major fires for years, elk populations declined as forested areas slowly matured, choking out plant growth. Again, when fires would ravage the forests, a few years later elk populations would surge as prolific food sources were restored for elk herds. Elk populations expanded into the east side of the Kootenay Trench in the early 1940s and into the west side of the Kootenay Trench in the early 1950s. In the 1960s and ‘70s, and particularly in the 1980s, elk hunters were enjoying the fruits of a burgeoning elk population. To control the increasing elk numbers in the 1960s, long open antler-less seasons, in conjunction with even lon-

ger bull seasons, were used. In the 1970s the antler-less seasons were closed and a threepoint restriction was placed on bulls in an effort to produce more of them. In the 1980s the Ministry of Environment started issuing thousands of LEH cow and calf tags to restore bull/cow ratios to more natural levels while controlling the total elk population (as a result of political lobbying by agricultural groups). Success rates for hunters were extremely high, at first, but by 1990, elk numbers had been reduced significantly and so had success rates. Also, the interest in elk hunting, particularly for trophy bulls was increasing. Better bugles, the advent of commercial cow calls, elk books and videos, and more overall knowledge of the species all contributed to the rise in interest. To counteract the downward trend, the Ministry of Environment imposed point restrictions on bull elk for part of the season. Needless to say, the decision was controversial, and enjoyed only marginal success. Too many bulls were still being harvested and bull to cow ratios and cow to calf,

were below the numbers needed to sustain healthy elk populations. Before the fall of 1997, after a devastating winter, the branch introduced a six-point restriction all season long ( Sept. 10 to Oct. 20). Bow hunters were still allowed to harvest a three-point or better bull from Sept, 1 – 9. The six-point rule was indeed, at best, a compromise to prevent bull elk from going on the much despised limited entry system as recommended in the Redaeke Report (independent study). Now in retrospect, here in 2015, there is little doubt that without the six-point rule in effect, bull elk would indeed be on LEH, and the vast majority of resident hunters would not be out elk hunting in September or October. In 2002, our Regional Wildlife Section Head at the time, Bob Forbes, said elk population estimates were 21,000 in the East Kootenay and 3,500 in the West Kootenay. Today, the present population estimates for elk are much lower than that. The population in the trench south of Canal Flats is approximately 7,900, and 2,500 elk north of there in the Columbia Valley. There are an additional 2,500 in the Elk Valley and an estimated 860 in Creston and 100 in the Flathead. West Kootenay populations could still be in the 3,000-plusrange. In the past few years Wildlife Managers set an objective to reduce Trench populations by over 30 per cent. They succeeded in doing that obviously, mainly through General Open Hunting seasons on cows and calves in the fall. Another interesting point of note, is that the Ministry’s estimate of the ratio of migratory to non-migratory elk, is that 37 per cent of the elk in the South Trench were classified as non-migratory. Data used for this estimation came from the radio collaring program in 2007-2009.

On August 30, Cranbrook First Toastmasters hosted the third annual Tall Tales contest. In the blustery weather at the gazebo at the Grouse Mountain campground in Yahk, four contestants went head to head telling their tallest tales. Witches reigned supreme in Kathy’s tale of growing up in Nova Scotia. Garbage Goop stole the campers and the day in David’s story of how he saved the world from the garbage slime that is at the bottom of the garbage bag. Roberta’s ghost tried to change how parliament does their job until

someone said there are not such thing as ghosts. Amanda weaved a tale of intrigued about how she landed an airplane filled with air cadets when surprisingly both pilots passed out. Amanda’s story took the day and the first prize. Congratulations, Amanda Bott. The day was rounded out with a potluck lunch that boasted a savoury cold smoked chicken breast and the best fudge on the planet. You should have been there. Well, maybe next year. Start formulating your story now so you are ready for the 4th Annual Tall Tales contest hosted by Toastmasters in the area.

FEATURES

It happened this week in Cranbrook Sept. 6 - 12 DAVE HUMPHREY Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1902 Honoring Mrs. Erickson … At the regular monthly meeting of the Ladies’ Guild of Christ Church, held last week at Mrs. A. E. Pigott’s, Mrs. E. G. Erickson, who is leaving Cranbrook for Port Arthur, was presented with a beautifully engrossed address accompanied with a handsome silver plated candelabra as a token of the esteem in which she is held by the ladies of Christ Church. The address was as follows: To Mrs. E. G. Erickson: Dear Mrs. Erickson — We, the members of Christ Church Ladies Guild, take this opportunity of giving expression to our deep regret at your departure from Cranbrook and the consequent reverence of your connection with Christ Church and our society. To your constant attendance, earnest effort and wise counsel the Ladies’ Guild owes very much of its success during the almost four years that you have been associated with it; and we assure you your services have been heartily appreciated. Enlarging Christ Church ... The people of Christ Church have decided on extensive alterations in the church building. The lot adjoining the one on which the church now stands is being purchased and the present building will be moved back into the middle of the two lots. A chancel 15 x 20 will be built and a vestry 9 x 18. A furnace will also be put in this fall. With these improvements Christ Church will be only a credit not only to the people of the church, but to the city. A large portion of the money necessary for these alterations has been raised in the parish and it is expected with the assistance of friends outside that when the church is completed it will be almost if not entirely free from debt. Can’t afford to miss it ... Next Monday Miss Pauline Johnson will be here, accompanied by Walter McRaye. Miss Johnson appeared in Cranbrook some two years ago, and made a

most favorable impression with the people, and the entertainment this year is made stronger by the addition of Mr. McRaye who has made a great reputation as a delineator of the French habitant characters. The people of Cranbrook will give the combination a good house, especially as it is for the members of the Lacrosse club. Baseball champs … Cranbrook has got together an aggregation of baseball players that seems to be pretty hard to beat. They have defeated everything in their neighborhood and this week journeyed as far as Calgary in search of glory. In a game in the prairie town on Monday they defeated their opponents by a score of 13 to 9. On Tuesday, however, the Calgary boys recovered their lost honors, winning from Cranbrook by a score of 6 to 3. This is their first defeat out of eleven games played this season. Interesting find … J. J. Miller brought two curious formations into this office Monday. They are apparently petrified pieces of moss and roots and were found in the creek back of the hospi-

tal.

1903 Election date changed ... Last Sunday those interested in the election were surprised to learn that a telegram had been received from Victoria announcing that the date of the election had been changed from October 31, to October 3, this shortening the campaign four weeks. As a rule there was little heard in opposition in this district, although a number of the Liberals expressed dissatisfaction so far as the province is concerned. Protests have been filled with the lieutenant governor from various parts of the province, but there seems no doubt but that the date will now remain October 3. For sale ... The James Greer house. It will be sold at a reasonable price and on satisfactory terms. Apply Herald office. Family divided … Malcolm Leitch, of Oak Lake, arrived last Friday to take Misses Jessie and May Leitch, two of the survivors of the Frank disaster back home with him. They left Tuesday. The little baby Marion will be kept by the family

of A. Leitch of this city. School trustee election ... There will be an election for school trustee next Saturday at 10 a.m. at the school house. The people of Cranbrook who are interested in the wellfare of the school should turn out and attend that election. Cranbrook has two good men now as trustees, Messrs. McBride and Greer, and a third one should be elected who will work with them for the welfare of the school. Childrens’ concert ... The childrens’ concert given at Wentworth Hall last Friday evening was a magnificent success, and a great credit to the children who participated and the ladies who had it in charge. Too often concerts of this character are pleasing to the parents who have children taking part but exceedingly monotonous to the public generally. This instance was a remarkable exception. The large audience present was pleased with the variety of the program and the superior excellence of each number. It is impossible to speak of the work of each one of the little performers in detail, but those present

gave ample evidence of their appreciation by generous applause, It is to be hoped that another entertainment of this character will be arranged some time during the winter. Killed by the train ... Last Sunday night about 11:30, August Anderson, who had been employed on the extra gang at Jaffray, met with a sudden and horrible death by being struck by a west bound freight train. He

had quit work on Wednesday and returned Saturday to secure his time. Sunday evening he left the boarding cars and spent the evening at the hotel with some companions, returning about 11 o’clock. His two companions went in the cars, but he remained outside, and it is supposed sat on the main track and went to sleep. Freight trains going west open up steam to make the hill

east of Jaffray, and in consequence the engineer was unable to see the unfortunate man on the track. The remains were scattered along the track for a long distance. Mr. McConnell, the undertaker, went down to J affray Monday, and secured the remains and brought them to Cranbrook for burial. The deceased was insured for $1,000, and it is understood has a brother living in Minnesota.

Blue-line battle wears on as Ice head to Tri-City Wenzel and Hines remain hopeful of opportunity as Ice face Americans Thursday night in Kennewick

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With 12 defencemen remaining in the Kootenay Ice camp the composition of the blue-line brigade is in the air as the team heads to Kennewick, Wash., for three games in three days. For a pair of 17-yearolds seeing their first extended stays with the club, the opportunity has never been better to make an impression. Dallas Hines, a native of Marwayne, Alta., and Jason Wenzel, a Calgary kid, are two of the remaining 12 seeking out permanency in Cranbrook. Though two of the younger charges remaining, both have acquitted themselves well while doing so in different ways. “They’re both such different players and I thought they complimented each other well at times [Tuesday] night,” said Luke Pierce, Kootenay Ice head coach, Wednesday afternoon. “Jason is a lot more active of a guy. He can make some mistakes, but he can also make some great plays and reads. He’s aggressive. “Dallas is more of a cerebral player. He picks his spots and keeps the game pretty simple, which is a good quality to have. “For both those guys, again -- just consistency in their game as we go through this real busy stretch. Both of them,

with their size and their reach, have a real good opportunity.” Hines, standing 6-foot-1 and weighing in at 207 pounds, spent the 2014-15 campaign with the Lloydminster Midget ‘AAA’ Bobcats. Though soft spoken off the ice, Hines -- a fifth-round pick (97th overall) at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft -- plays a much louder game on the ice with little hesitation in the department of physicality. “It’s a way faster pace and everything is going quicker,” Hines said. “The league is just so much better than where I came from, so it’s a big step up. “You’ve got to work hard every practice, every game. You’ve got to come to the rink focused. Don’t take any days off.” Standing at 6-feet and tipping the scales at 164 pounds, Wenzel is

the slighter of the two, but uses his mobility to his advantage in playing an active role on the blue-line. With that said, he’s not adverse to playing a physical style. “This is my third year in camp and it’s always been a goal of mine to play in the WHL for as long as I can remember,” Wenzel said Wednesday. “I’m just playing my game, which is a hard-hitting more aggressive game. I feel like that’s what will earn me a spot here, so that’s what I’ve been sticking to.” The two have their work cut out amongst a veteran group of defencemen with WHL experience, which includes Bryan Allbee, Tanner Faith, Cale Fleury, Mario Grman, an injured Tyler King, Tanner Lishchynsky, Nathyn Mortlock, Troy Murray and Dylan Overdyk.

Ice defenceman Sam Huston (#2) skates into the corner against Hurricanes forward Zane Franklin (#25) Tuesday at the Memorial Arena. Huston was reassigned to his midget club on Wednesday. Even with what might be perceived as an uphill climb, both Hines and Wenzel are taking each day in stride as they gather in as much as they can from their more experienced colleagues and competition, both on and off the ice. “I’ve had fun here and I’ve learned a lot from the older guys,” Wenzel said. “It’s good to have someone to look up to. It’s nice to still be here.” The Ice face the TriCity Americans Thursday at 8:05 p.m. (MST). Visit dailytownsman. com/breaking_news/ for more.

Ice trim four from roster prior to Kennewick trip Taylor Rocc a

The Kootenay Ice roster has been further trimmed down ahead of the team’s trip to Kennewick, Wash. Wednesday morning, it was announced that defencemen Loeden Schaufler (2000) and Sam Huston (1999) along with forward Eli Lieffers (2000) had been reassigned to their respective midget clubs following one-game exhibition stints in Cranbrook. “We rewarded them for a very good training camp,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president

and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, Wedensday afternoon. “They got an opportunity to play in an exhibition game and I think having the extra days of practice when we were down in numbers hopefully will be a stepping stone for them into their club teams this year so they know what level it takes to play in our league. “All three players did very well and all three players are hopefully going to be a big part of our future moving forward.” Later in the after-

noon, medical reports revealed a knee injury suffered by Jordan Steenbergen (1996) was going to keep the native of Olds, Alta., out of action for a minimum of four to six weeks. As a result, the veteran of 62 WHL games was reassigned to the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. “As a 19-year-old that we can’t see for another six weeks, we’ve just got too many young guys here that we want to try and give opportunities to,” said Luke Pierce, Ice head coach, Wednesday afternoon. “It’s really

unfortunate for Jordan -- a guy who was looking for a fresh start again here, but injuries are part of the game and out of our control and his. Hopefully everything works out for him.” The Ice roster now stands at 31 (16 forwards, 12 defencemen, three goaltenders) as the team heads to Kennewick, Wash., for a threegame pre-season swing. The Kootenay Ice open a three-game swing in Kennewick with a Thursday night contest against the TriCity Americans (8:05 p.m. MST).

It has been a banner season for three young Cranbrook wakeboarders, who rounded out their 2015 competitive season this past weekend by putting forth three more medal performances at the Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta Provincials. Battling rough weather conditions on Alix Lake, approximately 55 kilometres north east of Red Deer, 18-year-old Colden Thompson laid down a strong run in the Open Division, completing a number of clean tricks, including a heelside-540 and Moby Dick to edge the competition and take home second

place. Brothers Ryder, 10, and Dagen Duczek, 8, competed in the Grom Division (U-14) with Ryder moving through the opening heats and into the finals before putting forth a strong run in the final heat to capture first place. Ryder went on to claim second place in the Amateur Wakeskate (all ages), beating out his father, Paul, who finished third. It has been a stellar season for the local youth wakeboarders, including podium finishes for all three at the Wake Canada Nationals in late August. Thompson, sponsored by Seca Surf and

Marine, Team Lepin, Liquid Force, Spy Optics and Rusty Clothing is hoping to spend several weeks in Florida this fall and winter in order to continue training. The Duczek brothers are sponsored by Just Liquid Sports, Hyperlite and Boston Pizza (Cranbrook and Golden). Their focus now shifts to recreational riding before shifting into winter sports. Thompson and the Duczeks ride and train at Tie lake near Jaffray. Having travelled to a variety of competitions in B.C., Alberta, and the United States, the group has been dubbed “TeamTie.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be bombarded by a call in the morning from someone who wants to use you as a sounding board. You won’t mind, but you could get thrown off by the conversation and lose your sense of time. Consider taking a shortcut. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You know better than to spread yourself too thin. Slow down and prioritize. Be caring with those in your immediate environment. Cancel an outside commitment if need be. Consolidate rather than fragment. Tonight: Consider what you would like to do this coming weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be so busy on the phone that you could miss what is going on around you. Remember to make some time for yourself. A friend or co-worker could surprise you with his or her response. Stay levelheaded. Be forthcoming. Tonight: At your favorite spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) What is happening around you allows you to step back and consider what you would do in the same situation. A friend or relative does the unexpected and throws you into some chaos. Hang in there, and know that everything will work out. Tonight: Do some shopping. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are firing on all cylinders. Even if you run into a problem or an angry person, you will find the right words to allow everyone to move on. A loved one at a distance finds you to be unusually attractive, and will let you know that as well. Tonight: Be physical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with someone directly and with kindness. You might not want to be visible at the moment, and could choose to play it low-key. Understand that you will be missed! Use this day for yourself, and get some much-needed R and R. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others might be more provoc-

Tundra

ative than you would like, but you’ll have little choice except to deal with them. You have at least one friend from whom you never know what to expect. Keep your goals in mind, and you can’t go wrong. Tonight: You will be missed if you stay home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Once more, you seem to end up accepting all the responsibilities of others. You might want to consider stopping this habit -- it is not good for your well-being. An older friend or relative will let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You understand all the different energies that are swirling around you through others. On some level, you will find it very amusing; however, you’ll prefer to stay out of a problem rather than hop in the middle of it. Tonight: Say “yes” to a weekend getaway! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be in the mood to let others deal with the details of a certain situation rather than

handling them yourself. You could feel as if you have not had enough time to get into a social mode yet. Others seem to be only too pleased to pitch in. Tonight: Surprises await you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others go out of their way to get you going, and will encourage you to join in. You have a unique ability to make people feel appreciated. Many people might be seeking you out for that reason as well. Throw yourself into the moment. Tonight: What is stopping you? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Ideas and suggestions simply fly right out of your mouth. You might be surprised by everything that is happening around you. Be willing to go 100 percent in whatever you do. You will have nothing to worry about then! Tonight: Get some sleep while you can. BORN TODAY Actor Colin Firth (1960), fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld (1933), golfer Arnold Palmer (1929) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband has decided to plan a trip to a major theme park. It was supposed to include the two of us, plus his three adult children and their families. Here’s the problem: When I could not take the time off from work, his children invited their recently widowed mother. Although we have a civil relationship with her, I do not feel this is appropriate. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t share my concerns and is planning to book the trip anyway. I considered giving him some sort of ultimatum, but I doubt it would change his mind. My main concerns are his ex’s ability to twist the truth and what others may think about the “arrangement.” Any advice? -- Left Behind in Pennsylvania Dear Left Behind: Your husband should never have agreed to this without your OK. Instead, the appropriate thing to do would be to rearrange the trip for a date when you were available. Nonetheless, your only concern now should be whether he can be trusted to take a trip with his ex. If so, you can weather this. If you can take off a couple of days and join them for part of the trip, we recommend it. But please ignore the gossip. If others question the “arrangement,” simply laugh and say, “I wasn’t worried about that for a second.” Dear Annie: Your response to “No One To Share This With” was not strong enough. She said her husband was viewing porn. I know how she feels. I recently discovered that my 57-yearold husband, to whom I’ve been married for 34 years, was viewing Internet porn. It took me three months to get the full truth from him, because he was so ashamed. He started by looking at pictures of women in various stages of undress and it quickly escalated. We always had a loving relationship, but during this time I noticed he was more distant and less affectionate. When I questioned him, things would improve, but only temporarily. When I discovered his porn viewing, I was humiliated and hurt. He broke my trust. It is not OK to view porn. It is infidelity. It is addictive. It is disrespectful to your spouse. It sets up unrealistic expectations. It’s selfish. I am trim and attractive, but at age 54, I cannot compete with 20-year-olds. My husband regrets what he has done. He is sorry about how his actions hurt me. He has taken full responsibility, saying I did absolutely nothing to cause him to turn to porn. He voluntarily surrendered his computer and smartphone so I could set restrictions keeping him from accessing those websites. We immediately started counseling individually and as a couple, and I am working on forgiving him. Porn viewing should not be tolerated and should be addressed immediately. -- Rebuilding Our Relationship in LA. Dear L.A.: Spouses have different tolerance levels for porn. The problem these days is that porn is not only easily accessed on one’s computer or phone, but that it is also interactive. It interferes with one’s relationships in real time. We’re glad you and your husband are seriously working on this. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

B.C. offers $1 million fund, hotline to help Syrian refugees

C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - Charges have been laid against a man police say tried to abduct two girls in separate incidents near Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Jessup, 28, has a long criminal record dating back a decade in the B.C. communities of Cranbrook, Creston, Kamloops and elsewhere. Twenty-eight-year-old Nathaniel Jessup is accused of two counts of assault and one count of forcible confinement. He remains in custody. Police say a two-year-old girl was grabbed by a man near Lost Lagoon on Monday afternoon. The girl’s father confronted the man, who let go of the girl and ran off. Jessup is also accused of attempting to abduct an eight-year-old girl on the sea wall north of Denman Street on Friday.

TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has added $1 million to its budget for helping refugees settle in the province, and has opened a toll-free information line for those who want to sponsor people fleeing violence in Syria. Premier Christy Clark announced the funding in Vancouver Tuesday, along with a toll-free information number for community groups and private sponsors at 1-877-952-6914. Clark said the province currently spends about $4 million a year to support the federal program that settles immigrants in B.C. The extra funds will be reserved for assistance to Syrian refugees, she said. “It is our belief that it’s just not good enough to totally open our doors,” Clark said. “We

ment will be used for trauma counselling, help for for groups of citizens to navigate the refugee sponsorship process, foreign credential recognition and community and employer supports including matching training funds

for those committed to hiring a Syrian refugee. Clark said all the federal parties have indicated they want to increase refugee intake in response to the Syrian civil war, and B.C. has supported that position for several years. Last year

US STATE DEPARTMENT

Ottawa admitted about 36,000 immigrants to B.C., and about 1,500 were refugees. “Our job isn’t to decide who’s coming in when,” Clark said. “That’s their job. Our job is to make sure we’re ready.”

OTTAWA - A cucumber recall in Canada triggered by a suspected salmonella outbreak in the United States is being expanded. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says B.C.-based Overwaitea Food Group is recalling field cucumbers sold in its Save On Foods, PriceSmart Foods, Coopers Foods, Overwaitea and Freson Brothers stores in B.C. and Alberta. The affected fresh field cucumbers were sold unwrapped and in bulk on or before Sept. 4, 2015. Safeway also began recalling cucumbers this week along with in-store products made with the cukes, such as salads, vegetable trays, sandwiches and sushi.

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, September 10th, 2015 TRAFFIC SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL: CRANBROOK RCMP

CHANGE TO WATERING RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT

Roadways are a very dynamic environment with situations and circumstances that can change quickly. There is great potential for injury and property damage if drivers are not obeying the rules of the road. Signs and signals such as school zones, stop, yield signs and traffic lights are only a few tool used to assist drivers in keeping safe while they navigate City streets. In order for these signs and signals to work, they first need to be seen then obeyed. Please be aware of and respect all traffic signage and signals when driving all year. Make sure our streets are safe for everyone! A Message from the Cranbrook RCMP and the City of Cranbrook.

REMINDERS... Monday September 14, 2015 – Regular City Council Meeting @ 6pm Monday October 5, 2015 – City Hall Closed (Victoria Day)

Watch the latest

Cranbrook City Council meeting when you want. Visit www.cranbrook.ca

The City of Cranbrook has implemented Phase II water restrictions effective Wednesday August 19, 2015. Even numbered properties can only water Thursdays and Sundays while odd numbered properties can water on Tuesdays and Saturdays. No one waters on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays until further notice. On your permitted days, watering can occur from 4:00am to 11:00am and from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. This covers all outdoor water use including: washing of vehicles, RV’s, campers, boats, windows and the filling of kids’ pools or hot tubs or running your sprinklers for kids to play in. These new restrictions will remain in effect until further notice. If you have questions or inquiries, please contact City Hall at 250-426-4211. For more information about the changes in watering days, water conservation and what you can do to conserve, visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Water Conservation’ under the City of Cranbrook Links on the homepage.

STORM SEWERS & WATER QUALITY When working with household cleaning products and other potentially hazardous materials, the City of Cranbrook is asking residents and businesses to be careful that this material doesn’t make it into our storm sewer system. The City of Cranbrook with assistance from the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Regional District of East Kootenay, created an informational newsletter to provide helpful tips and information on how to help minimize the risk of polluting our local waterways. ‘Storm Sewers & Water Quality’ provides information on how to properly dispose of hazardous materials, how to properly treat and drain swimming pools and hot tubs and simple tips on how to minimize the risk of accidental water pollution around your home, your yard and around your vehicle. ‘Storm Sewers & Water Quality’ is available on the City’s website at www.cranbrook.ca or is available for pick up at City Hall.

REPORT ALL ACTS OF AGGRESSION BY URBAN DEER Any incidents involving acts of deer aggression in the City of Cranbrook should be reported. Both City staff and the provincial Conservation Officer Service keep close tabs on these reports of aggressive deer behaviour in order for Mayor and Council to make any future decisions around urban deer management. To report an incident to the Conservation Officer Service, please call 1-877-952-7277. To report an incident to the City of Cranbrook, please call 250-426-4211 or email urbandeer@cranbrook.ca. Late May through June is historically the time of year does give birth to their fawns. Does will drive away their offspring from the previous year and look for a secluded place to give birth. Deer have one or two fawns per year and triplets do occur once in a while. The white-spotted fawn relies on its colouration, lack of scent and silence for protection. It is quite common for does to leave fawns hidden while they forage in the area, returning occasionally to nurse. If you come across a fawn, it is best to leave it alone. It is also important for residents to remember that does with fawns are very wary of their surroundings and can act or react aggressively if they feel threatened. Give the deer plenty of space to either move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer, choose another route. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and be ready to let go of the leash if a deer attacks.

Discovery of ancient Roman home shows residential city bigger than thought ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROME - Archaeologists have discovered a 6th-century B.C. residence under a palazzo in central Rome, saying that it proves the ancient city was much bigger than previously thought. Officials said Wednesday that the area on the Quirinale Hill had long been thought to

have only been used as a necropolis, with ancient Rome’s residential zone further south and centred around the Roman Forum. But archaeologists excavating a palazzo on the hill said they discovered a well-preserved rectangular home, complete with wooden supports and a roof, proving that

the area was also used for residential purposes. The ANSA news agency quoted excavation chief Mirella Serlorenzi as saying the discovery “means that Rome at the start of the 6th century was much bigger than what we thought and wasn’t just centred around the Forum.”

A 6th-century B.C. residence was discovered in Rome, Wednesday, Sept. 9.

Cultivating fruit “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galations 5:22-23 Anastasia Bartlett Many years ago, I had my first conscious encounter with the joy of the Lord. It wasn’t tied to any particular event, but was an attitude I held within over a period of months. I was pregnant at the time and what I learned affected me so much I named the child I was carrying ‘Joy’. It’s hard to describe what I was feeling, but this sense of joy kept bubbling up inside of me, little bits of effervescence which tickled and showed me life from a different paradigm. I realize now, it wasn’t just joy I was experiencing but also peace, love, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance, all in their nascent forms. ‘I’ve always heard the Galatians passage read as though there are nine fruits of the Spirit. The word fruit can imply one; there is the fruit of the tree, or many; there is a fruit-stand. Fruits (with an ‘s’) is also used interchangeably with fruit to mean many. Personally, I think there is only one fruit of the spirit, some aspects can be more prominent, but you can’t have one without the other eight. The Christian life has to display such fruit. In Matthew 7: 16, Jesus warns against false prophets saying we will recognize them by their bad fruits, and by extension, those who are sincerely following Christ will be recognized by their good fruits. The continuous cultivation of fruit is work as I have learned since moving to BC. There is pruning, watering, fertilizing and then dealing with whatever circumstances the weather throws out. An untended tree can still produce fruit, but it is often small and not worth eating, while a tended tree can produce in abundance. see this in my own life. When I attend services regularly and maintain my own prayer life, I find I can handle the circumstances around me with grace, even if there isn’t any reason to rejoice. But if I am neglectful then I am at the mercy of every changing circumstance since my fruit is small and easily damaged.

Lately, I have come to realize I have been sabotaging my own fruit. C.S. Lewis puts it succinctly; “Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling, ‘Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,’ or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally, we shall insist on seeing everything - God and our friends and ourselves included - as bad, and not be able to stop doing it; we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.” Mere Christianity ‘A universe of pure hatred’ where no fruit of the Spirit can grow. Is my fruit grown on holy wood or on Hollywood? Watching stories where people are motivated by anger to right wrongs builds those same feelings in me. News clips of violent protests, listening to people spewing hatred and contempt for others, affects me and my fruit production. What is my spiritual nourishment? Hearing about injustice should motivate me to act, but will I respond with love or hatred, drawing men closer to God or pushing them further away? “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.” “....but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor 13:13 Anastasia Bartlett is the author of Glimpses of Glory and member of St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook.
