Two tired hikers rescued off Mt. Evans FOR T H E TOWNS MAN

Two tired but otherwise in good health hikers were rescued early Monday, Sept. 14 after they became lost the night before, the RCMP said Monday night.

With the help of a helicopter a Search and Rescue member and Police Dog Handler located the two subjects early Monday morning, who had spent the night in the wilderness.

A group of five hikers had sent out for a hike on Sunday afternoon in the Mt Evans area near St. Mary’s Lake. Two members of the party got tired and headed back after lunch while the others carried on.

When the three hikers returned they found the truck belonging to one of hikers still at trail parking area.

Eyes on the ungulates

Biologists closely monitoring local deer populations TRE VOR CR AWLEY

As the season turns into fall, hunters are hauling out their gear to head out into the backcountry to search for their elusive ungulates.

Hunting season, starting with an early archery phase, opened on Sept. 1 for elk, mule and whitetail deer, and moose.

For the most part, ungulate populations in the area seem to be doing all right, according to a wildlife biologist with the Fish and Wildlife branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

However, the government is keeping an eye on the mule deer popu-

lation, as hunting regulations recently replaced an any mule deer buck season with a four-point mule deer buck season.

“That was mainly because of concerns about low buck-to-doe ratios in some areas,” said Tara Szkorupa, a wildlife biologist.

“And then we just have concerns about the mule deer population overall. We don’t believe that there was any correlation between the any buck season and the declines in the mule deer because there was still good fawn recruitment and breeding and there didn’t appear to be any effect on breeding.”

Body of father of Amber Alert girl found, police suspect homicide C ANADIAN PRESS

A frantic search continued early Tuesday for a missing two-yearold girl after her 27-year-old father was found dead of a suspected homicide inside a home in southwestern Alberta.

RCMP issued an Amber Alert on Monday across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Montana for little Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette before confirming they had found the body of Terry Blanchette in the family home in Blairmore, Alta.

Investigators believe the girl had been taken

from the home early Monday at around 3:30 a.m. by a suspect or suspects in a newer model white van with a large rear antenna and a flag flying from it.

Witnesses reported seeing the van fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed heading west.

As Hailey’s mother, Cheyenne Dunbar, rushed from her home in Edmonton to be with relatives in the Crowsnest Pass, family friend Corette Harrington was both devastated and sick with worry.

“We just pray that whoever has her will keep her safe,” Harrington said in an emo-

tional, tear-filled interview. “It’s heartbreaking to know that when she comes back, her dad’s not going to be there.”

Tony Hamori, RCMP assistant district commander for southern Alberta, called the situation very troubling.

“This type of incident combined with the scene at the residence that we found is concerning to the highest degree both to the RCMP and to the communities in the Crowsnest Pass,” he told reporters at a news conference.

Mulcair announces dementia strategy in Cranbrook Barry Coulter

The leader of the federal NDP touched down in Cranbrook for a late afternoon discussion about the efforts of caring for relatives with dementia on Monday, Sept. 14.

Thomas Mulcair met with several residents at a private home near downtown Cranbrook, and listened to their personal experiences with caring for family members with Alzheimer’s and dementia. He then announced the NDP’s national Alzheimer’s and Dementia strategy, which has the aim of investing in screening, diagnosis, support of research.

“In Cranbrook and across British Columbia we notice that there are a lot of people who realize that the lost decade of the Conservatives has meant that in the community the type of care that’s needed more and more simply isn’t there,” said Mulcair at the press conference following the discussion.

“So we plan to be a reliable long-term part-

ner, and that contrasts with the short-term vision of Justin Trudeau and his Liberals. Mr. Harper has cut health care transfers and we’ve lost a lot of time.”

Mulcair was accompanied by his wife Catherine Pinhas, and an entourage of security, NDP party staff and members of the national media.

“What I’ve learned from these families (in Cranbrook) is that it’s not just a statistic. When we’re told that amongst Canadians 45 years and over, one in five is now taking care of a family member with Alzheimer’s or dementia, that’s a number that’s only going to increase as the [baby boom generation ages], and that’s why we’ve got to start taking action now.”

Mulcair said an NDP government would work with provinces and territories and invest $40 million to create a national strategy — “putting more resources into communities like Cranbrook” — that will:

Tom Mulcair and his wife Catherine Pinhas (left) took part in a discussion about the difficulties of caring for family members with dementia, Monday, Sept. 14, at a private home in Cranbrook.

• Support screening, early diagnosis and treatment to help slow progression of the conditions; • Improves resources for newly diagnosed patients and the families to access care; • Fund additional Alzheimer’s and de-

mentia research.

“I was very impressed with [Mulcair’s] very authentic desire to hear our personal stories and what he could glean from that — and particularly having his wife Catherine here, who’s such a wonderful compassionate person,”

Amber Alert girl’s father found dead Continued from page 1

“We’re just hopeful that this media release and the information we’ve gotten so far will be enough for the public to put as much energy into this as we are in terms of trying to locate this van or any other information that could be helpful to our investigation.”

Hamori said police do not have a licence plate, make or model for the van, nor do they know what kind of antenna flag was on the van.

Extra police resources were being brought into the area, including tactical officers to secure the scene and the air unit to help with the search.

Hamori did say there is no safety risk to the public, but added if the van is spotted that people should call police and not

engage with anyone in the vehicle.

Blanchette worked as a cook at Pure Country Bar and Grill in Frank, a nearby town in the Crowsnest Pass.

Monday was his day off, said manager Tammy Tracey.

Tracey said Blanchette had worked at the bar for the last three years.

“He would never miss a day of work, he had to support a daughter. He was a good kid. He had responsibilities, right?”

Harrington confirmed that, calling Blanchette an exemplary single father.

“He loved Hailey very much and everything he did, he did for Hailey. He was an incredible dad.

He worked hard for her.”

She explained that Blanchette and Dunbar, who was his former

girlfriend, amicably shared custody of their little girl.

“She lived with her dad fulltime, and every few weeks would visit her mom in Edmonton,” she explained, adding that the little girl would often stay with Blanchette’s father in Elkford while he was at work.

“She has this incredible little nose-scrunch thing she does when she’s happy. She loves to play and to laugh and every time she would see her dad she would light right up.

Harrington said she hopes everyone can stay focused on what’s important - finding Hailey.

“It’s just surreal not knowing where Hailey is,” she said. “It’s hard to comprehend what happened.

Hikers rescued off Mt. Evans Continued from page 1

They contacted police who did some preliminary checks and then through Emergency Management BC activated area Search and Rescue teams.

SAR members where on site throughout the night, but the searching began once the sun was up. A helicopter took a police dog handler and SAR member into the area and found the

two waving. The helicopter landed and was able to transport the subjects out, as they were too cold and tired to walk.

They were safe in good health but advise they didn’t get much sleep.

The two subjects (68 and 72) from Cranbrook and Abbotsford did the right thing, once they realized they were lost, they

made a fire and waited. Often lost persons will wander aimlessly trying to find a way, but they are often making it more difficult for search teams.

“This was an excellent response and coordinated effort between RCMP and Cranbrook and Kimberley SAR teams that resulted in a happy ending”, Cpl Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP.

said Valerie Harris, who took part in the discussion.

“These are all people, in essence, who are friends,” said Kootenay-Columbia NDP candidate Wayne Stets-

ki, who also sat in on the discussion. “They are also people who have personally experienced the impact of Alzheimer’s and dementia in their families as caregivers and as professionals,

Prices in Effect

so altogether, they presented a very good picture of the challenges and opportunities around Alzheimer’s.

“For many of them, they felt very much alone looking after aging parents. There was nothing there to help them within the system, no funding available to provide caregiving that they needed, and at the same time, they really wanted to do the right things for their families. A lot of caring and compassion in that room today.”

Stetski said it was high time “that we have a national program and that we actually put some time, energy and money into dealing with Alzheimer’s.

“It was great to have Mr. Mulcair here,” he added. “He’s a very busy man travelling across the country; it’s a big job, so we were very honoured to have him spend a bit of time with us here in Cranbrook.”

Biologists monitoring deer populations Continued from page 1

A combination of animal health and predation are potential factors to the population decline, she added.

“Those can interact and there can be less complicating factors around that, but those are the main two factors that we’re looking at,” Szkorupa said.

“So the health and the body condition of the animals — that would point to habitat potentially being limiting and then we have radio collars that a signal goes off when the animal dies and we can get in on the animal quickly and look at which predators—if it was predated on—which predator was involved.”

Wildlife biologists aren’t as concerned about Whitetail deer, but are still watching the populations very closely, she added.

Hunters have reported fewer whitetail sightings to the Fish and Wildlife branch in areas with good road access and heavy hunting pressure.

However, based off the harvest records from 2014, hunters seem to be having a lot of success with Whitetails, she said.

“Whitetail, overall, appear to be doing quite well, but we’re watching the populations very closely and we’re discussing options for changing hunting regulations for the future as well.”

For both Whitetail and Mule Deer, the provincial government is also looking for hunters to bring in the heads of their animals to select butcher shops or the Ministry of Environment office to test for Chronic Wasting Disease.

According to a provincial online resource, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal disease of animals in the Cervid family, which include mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk and moose.

CWD is not currently present in B.C. but is spreading west in free-ranging deer from Alberta. There has been a CWD surveillance program since 2002 that has tested over 2,500 deer, elk and moose.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was first detected in captive mule deer in the 1960s in Colorado and Wyoming and was introduced to Canada from the United States by im-

Trevor Crawley photo

The province is keeping an eye on whitetail and mule deer populations this hunting season. ported captive elk.

There is currently no evidence that CWD can infect humans. For more information on CWD, visit www.gov.bc.ca/ wildlifehealth.

In terms of changes to the Region 4 B.C. hunting regulations, there isn’t too much different from last year.

In select management units, there are expanded spike-fork moose hunting opportunities, revised cougar seasons and female quota as well as modifications to agricultural zone elk hunting opportunities.

The cougar changes were made mainly in areas that are home to Caribou in the region.

“The bag limit was increased in mainly caribou areas—areas where we are concerned about predation on caribou and there’s not a whole lot of cougar hunting in those areas and so that was just another potential tool to increase the harvest in those areas a bit,” Szkorupa said.

For a complete synopsis of the hunting regulations, go online and visit: www.env.gov. bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/ regulations/.

Kootenay-Columbia Candidates On The Spot

Black Press newspapers across Kootenay-Columbia have compiled a list of questions — 12 in total — for all five candidates for a six-week Q&A feature. This is part two of a six-week series, two questions a week answered by each candidate Question 3: Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved? Question 4: What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

Bill Green Green

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

In my work with the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc Nations, I have been deeply involved in discussions about renewal of the Columbia River Treaty, focusing on restoring ecosystems and returning salmon to the Upper Columbia and Kootenay River watersheds.

I have spearheaded an initiative to learn how operation of the Treaty dams could be improved to benefit ecosystems, fish and wildlife, and local communities. We have proposed establishment of a Columbia Basin International Watershed Board under the auspices of the International Joint Commission.

There is no question about involvement of the federal government in Treaty negotiations. Ottawa has constitutional responsibility for international treaties, for rivers that cross the 49th parallel, and for fisheries. The federal government must work very closely with the government of BC but also with First Nations and local governments in the Columbia Basin to develop negotiating positions and, ultimately, negotiate effectively with the US government.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways safer and more reliable?

My focus is on federal funding to improve rail infrastructure, particularly through the critical Rogers Pass transportation bottleneck.

The Green Party proposes to invest $600 to $700 million annually in our vital national rail infrastructure. With longterm investment in bet-

ter rail infrastructure in our riding, more freight currently being moved by truck on Highways 1 and 3 can be moved by rail, relieving heavy truck congestion on those routes and improving road safety for all drivers.

Highway maintenance, especially in winter, is a key safety issue.

Ottawa is responsible for maintenance and repair of the Trans-Canada Highway inside national parks. There must be federal infrastructure spending to improve safety conditions – including maintenance – of the Trans-Canada between the BC-Alberta border and Sicamous.

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The federal government has to be involved in the negotiations because the treaty is an agreement between the United States and Canada. Canada transferred the rights and obligations under the CRT to the province under the Canada-BC Agreement, but substantive treaty changes would require federal government involvement.For Constitutional reasons the Federal Government also has to be involved in discussion on water use licenses, possible salmon restoration, and aboriginal rights, but our role would be to work closely with both the province and BC Hydro, the Canadian Entity appointed to implement the CRT on behalf of the province.

Since Liberal policy to re-engage in an inclusive process with Indigenous Peoples mirrors Provincial goals the Federal partnership would not

hinder the treaty process. My former involvement with Columbia Basin Trust also ensures a priority that decisions would always consider the direct impacts on the people who live in the basin.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways safer and more reliable?

The Liberal party expects me to speak up on local rural issues and highways are a central concern in this region.

Infrastructure in Canada is rapidly decaying and a Sunday drive on Highway 93 shows you the full impact of an old road dealing with new realities. These roads were not built with current traffic levels in mind and have become unsafe, economically inefficient and unsustainable in terms of the additional costs to cure certain deficiencies.

Highways managers and engineers will determine priorities and our role will be to provide the tools to ensure consistent investment in these fundamentals The recently announced Liberal infrastructure plan with increased long term funding for public transit, social and green infrastructure, means the New Building Canada Fund can prioritize investments in roads and bridges. This allows us to begin a comprehensive process to make repairs and improvements without having to wait for election handouts.

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The Columbia River Treaty has had significant impacts here in the

Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin.

Substantial sacrifices were made by residents during the creation of the dams and reservoirs, and impacts continue as a result of hydro operations.

In 2012, the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments formed a committee to ensure that all area residents had a say in the future of the Treaty. As a member of that committee I participated in extensive public meetings that resulted in a report that contained recommendations to the Provincial and Federal governments.

I am proud to have played a role in ensuring that the voices of Kootenay Columbia residents were heard in the potential renewal of the Treaty. The role of the Federal government should be to support the collective voices of Basin residents and to seek to ensure that the recommendations are implemented.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways safer and more reliable?

The Trans Canada Highway upgrade requires coordination between Federal and Provincial governments, and a divided highway from Sicamous to the Alberta border must be a priority.

As Mayor of Cranbrook, I participated in the Highway 3 Mayor’s Committee that coordinates funding for Highway 3 from the Alberta border to Hope, so I am very familiar with issues along this corridor, and have partnered with others to find solutions.

We need to work on strategies to better protect both motorists and wildlife on area highways, which have consistently had one of the highest collision rates in the Province. Wildlife awareness systems using new technology should be investigated for all our highways.

We also need to ensure adequate funding and enforcement of contract standards for winter highway maintenance, and we need more enforcement capability for our RCMP conducting year-round highway patrols.

Kootenay residents rely heavily on our high-

way systems, and ensuring safety and reliability must be a top priority.

David Wilks Conservative

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The CRT has no expiry date, but has a minimum length of 60 years, which is met in September 2024. One or both countries wishing to terminate the CRT must give at least 10 years notice. September 2014 was the earliest date to announce intent to terminate the CRT by 2024.

At this time, neither nation has indicated intention to terminate the CRT. The Columbia River Treaty is an important agreement between Canada and the United States, which has helped both countries effectively manage flood control, downstream irrigation and power generation on the trans-boundary Columbia River for the past 50 years. The CRT continues to be an example of the strong and cooperative relationship between Canada and the United States. We look forward to working with the United States as it completes its own review process of the CRT. As we look to the future of the Columbia River Treaty, the Government of Canada, in close cooperation with British Columbia, will ensure that Canada and BC will continue to benefit from the Treaty.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways safer and more reliable?

Kootenay-Columbia is unique in that the Trans-Canada Highway flows through 3 national Parks (Yoho, Glacier and

Mount Revelstoke) and Hwy 93 flows through Kootenay Nat’l Park. The federal government has sole responsibility for the Trans-Canada Highway and Hwy 93 through the parks. Since 2011, I have worked with the Environment Minister to secure over $300 million dollars in funding for projects within the 4 national parks. The majority of that funding went to highway upgrades. Current projects include tunnel lighting (east of Rogers Pass), repaving sections of highway in all 4 parks, bridge rehabilitation and animal fencing. With the exception of the Trans-Canada Highway through the National Parks, all highways within BC are provincial jurisdiction. Each year the provincial government sets its priority list for highway projects throughout BC. It then proceeds with projects based on the budget as set out by the Provincial Minister. In cooperation with the Province of BC, joint funding has resulted in projects such as the Donald Bridge twinning and Overpass and bridge replacements on Highway #3.

Christina Yahn Libertarian

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The Columbia River Treaty was one of the most devastating projects to be undertaken in the region on environment, economy, first nations and private property rights. Withen a few years of the treaty the Sinixt first nations were

convienently declared extinct by the government despite the fact they were and still are a thriving culture. Salmon runs, sacred sites and fertile lands were flooded. Around 5,000 Individuals’ private property was violated and flooded leaving them displaced with a minimal compensation for their homes.

Government should never have the authority to force people out of their homes and off their lands. Over 100,000 animals habitat was destroyed from the flooding.

Economically the impact was far more negative then estimated, the revenue from hydroelectric dams did not match the initial costs associated with building the infrastructure, compensation of the people who were displaced or the estimated losses that were never taken into consideration of the fertile lands for agriculture and Forestry. As a result funds were taken from schools, health care and forest services.

That being said, no, I do not think Ottawa should have involvment in Columbia River Treaty negotiations. They will be mainly considering monetary positions and will not be personally effected by any decisions made. I believe that only parties who are directly effected by all aspects of an agreement such as this should have an active role in negotiations.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways safer and more reliable?

Through creating strong local economies, keeping our tax dollars locally will enable us to afford much needed saftey upgrades and infastructure for the roads we drive. Going through the bureaucratic filter in Ottawa for funding is an exhausting and lengthly process, meanwhile the roads remain in need of repairs while the requests for funding continues to be bogged down in the political mire. Provinces and municipalities have a greater understanding of the particular needs in their area then anyone across the country in Ottawa.

Canada’s 42nd General Election is to be held October 19, 2015.

Protest stunts distract from real efforts “I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing out-

side support for the camp for the last couple of years.

Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who BC VIEWS have token support from a couple of dissident memTom bers of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Fletcher Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/ alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Dynamiters open season with pair of divisional wins Captain Jason Richter registers seven points in two games; goaltender Tyson Brouwer shines as Nitros beat Rockies and Rockets Taylor Rocc a

If the Kimberley Dynamiters are nursing the proverbial championship hangover, they’re doing an awfully good job of hiding it following a pair of divisional victories over the Columbia Valley Rockies and Golden Rockets.

The defending KIJHL champions opened the season Friday night with a decisive 6-0 shutout of the Rockies at the Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena in Invermere before returning home to ground the Rockets 6-2 on Saturday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“We’re doing some things better than we were last year heading right into the playoffs,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, following Saturday’s home triumph.

“It’s pretty easy sometimes when you get in a 6-0 game like [Friday]… guys start to buy into the [idea] that it’s ‘point night.’ But we had a good high guy all night long.

I’m really impressed with that and I’m really impressed with how guys are buying into the Nitro way. It was exciting to see that without any exhibition games.”

The explosive offense and leadership of the Dynamiters returned in mid-season form on opening weekend as captain Jason Richter and goaltender Tyson Brouwer posted impressive performances.

Richter tallied five goals and two assists while Brouwer made 47 saves on 49 shots through the two contests.

“It’s fun. It’s obviously nice to be back,” Rich-

ter said Saturday night.

“I love being with all the boys, all the vets coming back. It’s good to see them and now we’re bringing the new guys in. It’s just like last year.

We’re all having a good time out here.

“We’ve only been together for two weeks with no exhibition games or anything, but we’re coming together real quick. Our eyes are obviously on the championship again, but we’re just going to take it one game at a time, one practice at a time just like we did last year.”

Brouwer, Playoff MVP from the Nitros 2015 KIJHL championship run, turned aside 34 shots from the Columbia Valley Rockies to lay claim to his first shutout of the 2015-16 campaign, following up with 13 saves to collect his second victory of the season on home ice against Golden.

“It’s huge, it’s a definite confidence builder, which is always nice right off the start especially when you don’t play any exhibition games,” Brouwer said Saturday night. “It’s nice to click early.

“Guys were blocking shots, sacrificing their bodies. It’s almost a glimpse of last year, which is nice to see. Everyone’s bought in already.”

Scoring early and often was a theme through the weekend.

The Dynamiters opened a 4-0 first-period lead on the Rockies Friday night. On Saturday night, they fired four goals past Rockets starting goaltender Mark Becica on 19 shots before the midpoint of the sec-

ond period.

Saturday’s 4-0 lead was boosted in the second period after Rockets defenceman Sean Ripley caught Nitros forward Marco Campanella with a high-stick midway through the frame.

The infraction came away from the play and Ripley was handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the deed.

Campanella returned to the game after receiving attention from the training staff.

Defenceman Tristan Pagura found the back of the net on the ensuing power-play to put the hosts ahead 5-0 heading into the third period.

Despite the big lead, the Rockets showed character in the final 20 minutes of play, as Ian Desrosier and Emerson Pugh tallied in the opening moments of the third period to make it a 5-2 hockey game.

But, as is so often the case, Richter returned to restore the sizeable advantage, scoring his second of the night and fifth of the weekend to give the Dynamiters a 6-2 advantage with 10:46 to play in regulation.

After being outshot 34-30 in Friday’s win over the Rockies, the Nitros carried out their defensive game plan a little more to the liking of Bancks, limiting the Rockets to a mere 15 shots on goal, while sending 49 pucks the other way.

Becica surrendered four goals on 19 shots before giving way to rookie Chandler Billinghurst, who made 28 stops on 30 shots.

After scoring 39 goals and 70 points in 2014-

15, the 5-foot-8 Richter is off to an electrifying start in pursuit of a second-consecutive KIJHL scoring title.

Even with the bulging point totals, four points in the standings from a pair of divisional rivals is all that matters to Richter.

“I could care less about [the scoring title],” Richter said. “At the end of the day, it’s about the team. That’s the way it always will be.”

Saturday’s tilt represents the lone home game in the month of September for the Dynamiters, with the next outing at the Kimberley Civic Centre scheduled for Friday, Oct. 2, when the Revelstoke Grizzlies visit town.

In the meantime, the Dynamiters take their show on the road, heading to the B.C. Interior for games against the 100 Mile House Wranglers, Kamloops Storm and Sicamous Eagles next weekend.

Notes: A number of KIJHL firsts on opening weekend — F Korbyn Chabot, F Austyn Moser and D Lucas Purdy each scored their first KIJHL goals… F Eric Buckley got off to a helpful start this season, tallying six assists in two games over the weekend… The lone home game of the month for the Dynamiters was taken in by a crowd of 603 at the Kimberley Civic Centre… Prior to puck drop, the Dynamiters recognized a local billet family — Iona and Lyle Prier — who are entering their 20th season as a Dynamiters billet family. Watch The Townsman/Bulletin for a feature on the Prier’s later this week...

WHL announces rule changes as 50th season begins Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Ron Robison, commissioner of the Western Hockey League, was in Regina Monday to officially launch the WHL’s 50th season.

The WHL was established in 1966.

As a part of Monday’s festivities, the league officially announced a

number of rule changes heading into the 201516 campaign.

The most significant change comes in the alteration of the overtime format. Teams will now skate a five-minute, three-on-three overtime if a game is tied at the end of regulation time.

At no point will teams skate with less than three players in overtime.

Should a penalty in overtime result in a power-play, the offending team will continue with three skaters while the opponent will receive a four-on-three man advantage.

The WHL is also making adjustments to ice markings heading into 2015-16.

The most noticeable change will be the en-

largement of the trapezoid behind the net, allowing goaltenders more space to play the puck below the goal line.

The Kootenay Ice open the 2015-16 WHL season Friday, Sept. 25, when they host the Calgary Hitmen at Western Financial Place.

See dailytownsman. com/breaking_news/ for the complete story.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might opt to move forward on an important project that means a lot to you. A friend supports your efforts by encouraging your creativity. The unexpected might point to a quick change of activities and plans.

Maintain your sense of humor.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your inventiveness comes out despite what is going on around you. You have the support of a key individual in making a money decision. You could feel a little awkward acknowledging the importance of this person in your plans. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last summer, our family spent all of our time helping my newly widowed mother-in-law fix up her large home, which had become run down during her husband’s long illness.

During one of the days I took off to help, she backed into the side of our car, causing damage. The repair estimate was $1,000, but she didn’t want to claim it on her insurance for fear her rates would go up. My husband didn’t want to ask her to pay, so we simply drove around with a giant dent in our car. Last week, we were in an accident and our car was totaled. The value we received was reduced due to the prior damage.

My husband and I work public service jobs with low wages, and my motherin-law often talks about how she’s investing her half-million dollars. Am I wrong to think she should pay for the damage she caused to our car while we were fixing her home to save her money? -- Trying Not to be Resentful Dear Trying: We understand why you expected Mom to pay for the damage, and she should have offered to do so. Nonetheless, we are asking you to think of this with compassion. Mom is widowed and her ability to generate income is undoubtedly reduced. That “half-million dollar” investment has to last her the rest of her life, while you and your husband will continue to earn. Discuss this with your husband and come to a mutual decision. He is obviously reluctant to ask Mom to pay for this, and perhaps it would be easier to ask her to split the cost. Whatever happens, please allow your husband to deal with this as he sees fit, and do your best to forget the rest. It won’t help to dwell on it.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “No One to Share This With,” about her husband continually watching porn.

Her husband is likely a sex addict and his wife is 100 percent correct that he is likely filled with shame.

I am a sex addict and a porn addict.

I go to 12-step meetings and I have a sponsor. Luckily, I have managed to stay away from porn for seven years.

While getting into a 12-step program is probably the best thing for this woman’s husband, he will be highly unwilling to go. Something in his life will need to completely fall apart before he is ready to ask for help. Once he does, a 12step meeting, and possibly a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist can help him tremendously. But until then, nothing will break him free from his computer for any length of time.

Many people don’t believe that sex addiction is a real thing, but let me tell you, it is. When sex addicts look at porn, the dopamine receptors in the brain take off. We used to have to seek out our fathers’ girlie magazines, but with the Internet, every teenager has Porn TV in his back pocket. -- G. Dear G.: Thank you for being the voice of experience today.

Children contribute to peace S ub m i t t e d

The Cranbrook Celebration for Peace Society committee members are thrilled to honor four young citizens for their contribution to peace. The four citizens are: Anica Beaudoin, Cranbrook; Flynn Passey, Victoria (Cousin Chloe standing in for Flynn); Sarah Metzler, Cranbrook; and Connor Love, Cranbrook The committee had a very

difficult task to choose just four entries from the sixty seven entries submitted. We would like to commend each one that took part, all of the entries were fabulous and we were truely impressed with the talent displayed.

Next spring, Leisure Services, City of Cranbrook and our Society will plant an Autumn Blaze Maple tree in Moir Park honoring these wonderful young indi-

viduals. A plaque with their names will be placed on the tree.......they , and all of us, will be able to watch the tree grow, just as we all help to grow ‘Peace’ in the world.

All of the entries will be on display for the public on Sept. 20 at 1pm in Rotary Park where the Celebration for Peace will kick off. Please come out and support our young citizens and enjoy the Celebration for Peace.
