Tragedy, trauma in a small town The weekend following a double homicide, Blairmore hosts a WHL tournament. What to expect?

got into my truck, pulled out of the Townsman parking lot just before 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon and made my way east.

I knew where I was heading but I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Just two days earlier, the small mountain town of Blairmore rocked by the tragic reality of a double-murder.

Two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her 27-year-old father Terry Blanchette — gone.

It’s the type of reality no community should ever be challenged with.

So, what should have been a normal “day at the office” for me as the Kootenay Ice met the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the Crowsnest Pass for Western Hockey League pre-season play, was going to be anything but that.

Candidates debate on aboriginal issues set for Wednesday All 5 Kootenay-Columbia candidates confirmed for Cranbrook event BARRY COULTE R

For the first time, an election candidates forum focussing on aboriginal issues has been organized for Cranbrook this week, and is going ahead with the confirmed attendance of all five Kootenay-Columbia candidates.

The first All Candidates Debate on Aboriginal Issues is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2015, at the Ktunaxa Nation Gymnasium in Cranbrook, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The event is being organized by two individuals, Rosemary Phillips and Joyce Green. “[Aboriginal and First Nations] issues are quite distinct issues from the mainstream,” Phillips said.

“So there is a real need for the candidates to address that.”

FuN for the whole family!

A candlelight vigil was organized in Cranbrook’s Rotary Park Saturday, Sept.

19, in honour of Terry Blanchette and his daughter Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette, who were both killed in the Crowsnest Pass community of Blairmore, Alberta, last week.

The event was organized by Deanna Louis, who was born and raised in Vancouver’s downtown east side, and who herself is the mother of a murdered child.

Louis, speaking to those assembled, said she is doing this because there needs to be more support for families who have ex-

Fellow organizer Arlene McCrory’s mother was murdered when she was just three months old, and her aunt was one of the victims of the Robert Pickton murders.

She said the vigil was organized to honor Hailey and other children who lost their lives, and to offer the community a chance to grieve in a healthy way.

Cops, on epic bike ride, strut the catwalk Trevor Crawley It was ladies night at the Tamarack Mall last week as the 13th annual Cops for Kids All-Male Fashion Show hit the catwalk to raise money to assist children that are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis in the southern B.C. Interior Each of the male models were part of a 25-strong crew of cyclists on a 1,000 kilometre tour of the region as part of the Cops for Kids ride.

The models wore apparel donated by businesses within the Tamarack Centre, while money was raised through donations and a silent auction, with musical performances scattered in-between.

Earlier on Wednesday afternoon, the Cops for Kids riders arrived in Cranbrook after braving colder temperatures and some rainy weather conditions. Despite the inclement weather, which included snow, hail and heavy precipitation, their spirits were

not dampened in the slightest.

Once the group arrived, it was off to the local branch of TD Bank—one of the sponsors of the ride. A cheque was presented to A/Cst Jeff Young from TD Bank representative Pam Hebert.

Following dinner at Boston Pizza, it was off to the fashion show.

“Funds raised from the fashion show are donated to the Cops for Kids who are committed to assisting children that are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis,” wrote Cpl. Chris Newel in a press release.

“They tirelessly work to raise funds to continue their ongoing support to the children in communities that they serve. Cops for Kids is devoted to helping little hearts, in our communities!”

Cops For Kids has many events throughout the year, however the signature event is the Cops for Kids Ride.

This gruelling ten-day

ride occurs each year over some very challenging terrain.

The next day it was off to the ABC Restaurant for breakfast and then to Fort Steele. For nine years, local photographer Brian Clarkson has taken a team photo out at Fort Steele

before the group heads to Golden and Revelstoke to continue the journey.

The 10-day ride wraps up in Kelowna on Sunday, Sept 20. For information on donating or applying for funds go to copsforkids. org.

Small town rocked by tragedy Continued from page 1

This much I knew.

In 2013, in the midst of my first full-time job in journalism, living in Kindersley, Sask., I was faced with interviewing the local high-school football team after an 18-year-old teammate, classmate and friend, was suddenly lost to a head-on collision 80 kilometres from home.

The loss of that young man, to a tragic and completely uncontrollable event rocked the core of a tight-knit community of 4,700.

But that was a completely different kind of loss.

To intentionally snuff an innocent and pure spark hits like nothing else can.

I spent as much of my 170-km drive along the Crowsnest Highway trying to keep the story from my mind.

This was my second time visiting the Crowsnest Pass for the WHL Thunder Challenge — an annual event in its seventh year raising for funds for the local minor hockey program in the area.

The arena was bathed in the glow of the September sun, perched high on the hill overlooking the valley. It’s the sort of landscape artists dream of recreating on canvas. I walked through the doors and the warmth was gone, though not because of the refrigerated ice maintained inside.

Brave faces welcomed me, each with a smile, as I gave my donation for the local minor hockey program.

Blairmore, a town of 2,000, is like any other rural community. It’s as much a tight-knit, extended family as it is a small mountain settlement. When tragedy strikes, it strikes everyone.

A moment of silence before puck drop.

I make my way around the arena throughout the game, doing my regular thing

— taking photos, questioning the officiating, and reminding myself how smart I was to wear wool socks.

I overhear people in the building — people I can only assume are locals.

“This is happening in our community. They’re taking our children.”

It’s haunting to hear.

People were only just getting an opportunity to begin truly processing the tragedies.

Shortly after Monday’s Amber Alert hit desks in newsrooms across Canada, a national media circus touched down in the Crowsnest Pass — a municipality comprising the towns of Blairmore and Coleman, and villages of Bellevue and Frank.

The circus didn’t leave town until after 22-year-old Derek Saretzky had been charged Wednesday.

Thursday was the first real respite from the full-on emotional rollercoaster.

The Ice lost 3-2 to the Hurricanes, a mere footnote in my day.

I trekked back to the Crowsnest on Saturday for the finale of the Thunder Challenge.

I walked through the doors, and once again smiles greeted me.

The rink was packed — not a seat to be found — much different from the quiet, calm Thursday crowd.

I spoke with a local reporter who told me how his small, community newspaper broke the story over Facebook.

We didn’t know what had happened, just that something bad had happened, he told me.

Those words will never come close to capturing just how bad the events were as they unfolded over the next 48 hours.

But happened over 48 hours from Thursday, inspired.

Earlier in the night, a local RCMP officer

stepped on to the ice to make the 50/50 draw.

There was a sizeable prize on the line for those with tickets in hand.

The officer spoke and the crowd responded with a warm, supportive applause and cheer, almost a “thank you” for his detachment’s service throughout a week most only read about in bigcity news.

The local reporter told me the hockey provided a needed relief for the community.

The Hitmen doubled up the Ice 4-2.

But what resonated most with me was the strength shown by a community rocked with unimaginable tragedy.

I got into my truck, pulled out of the arena parking lot in the Crowsnest Pass just before 10 p.m. Saturday night and made my way west.

I knew where I was heading.

What I took with me was a reminder of how short life can be, how much it should be cherished.

The people of Crowsnest Pass taught me about resolve.

What could have been a normal “day at the office” for me was anything but.

Whether it’s your son, daughter, mother, father, friend or neighbour — take the time to tell them “I love you” today.

Phillips and Green have compiled a list of some broad issues and concerns, and sent the list out to the candidates, so they could prepare in advance.

“They’re each going to initially get three minutes to address each

one of those issues.

Once that segment is over, we’re going to have questions from the floor, either in regard to what the candidates have said, or not — just a general opportunity to ask questions.”

Joe Pierre Jr. will

“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the victim was pinned between a large stacker and the sort deck on which he was working.”

The BC Coroners Service released the victim’s name, identifying him as Dustin William John Gerlinsky of Kitchener.

A www.gofundme.com campaign was started by Creston resident and business owner Brandy Hunt, and has raised nearly $28,700 for Gerlinsky’s family.

Creston RCMP were expected to wrap up their investigation into last Tuesday’s fatal accident at J.H. Huscroft Ltd.

Council hears case for smoke-free areas Arne Petryshen

The Kootenay Smoke Free Coalition was at the city council meeting on Sept. 14 to encourage council to create a smoke-free bylaw for the city.

Trish Hill, Tobacco coordinator with Interior Health, was joined by Andrea Winckers from the B.C. Cancer Agency Prevention Programs and Kerri Wall with Interior Health - Healthy Communities Initiative.

Patti King is the other member of the coalition, but she was unable to make the meeting.

The coalition represents six organizations that promote health in

the community.

Hill noted they were there to talk about smoke free communities.

“That means creating smoke-free outdoor public places,” Hill said.

“This is an increasing trend in the province, as local governments really focus on reducing wildfire risk, — especially after this summer — improving quality of life and attracting new residents.”

Risk to the community Hill spoke about the impact tobacco has on a community. She said that includes the more obvious health impacts,

the risk of wildfire as well as the less obvious economic impacts.

Winckers noted that in Canada tobacco causes 30 per cent of all cancer deaths and is related to more than 85 per cent of lung cancer cases.

“Tobacco use rates are higher in the Interior region, at 20 per cent, than the B.C. average of 14 per cent,” Winckers said. “It’s the number one preventable cause of death and disease, and kills twice as many people as vehicle crashes, alcohol, suicide and homicide combined.”

Lung cancer is also to number one cause of

PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Proposed Amendment of Official Community Plan The City of Cranbrook has received an application to amend the City’s Official Community Plan.

On September 14, 2015, City Council gave first reading to “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3833, 2015”.

If adopted, the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the subject property from “Low Density Residential” to “Medium Density Residential” Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of a proposed rezoning of the subject property from “R-1, Single Family Extended Residential Zone” to “R-5, Medium Density Multiple Family Residential Zone”.

The subject property is legally described as: Parcel A (Reference Plan 8284I) of Lot 208, District Lot 30 Kootenay District Plan 887, and is located at 9 Little Van Horne Street South as indicated on the reference map below.

cancer death for both men and women in Canada.

“Rates of tobacco use is much higher amongst people with mental illness, young adults, those living in poverty and aboriginal people,” she said. “Tobacco is the only legal product that kills one out of every two people when used as intended.”

Children and second hand smoke Winckers also noted that children who grew up in smoke-free communities are less likely to use tobacco as adults.

Children who are exposed to second hand smoke are also 50 per cent more likely to suffer from lung and breathing problems, have an increased risk of developing asthma later in life. The development of children’s

immune and respiratory systems are also impacted more by second hand smoke than for adults.

Winckers said smoke free bylaws help to de-normalize smoking by creating smoke free zones around the places children frequent, such as parks and beaches.

Adults and second hand smoke Second hand smoke is linked to 110 deaths among non-smokers in B.C. each year. Winkers said it also increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and other respiratory problems.

“Second hand smoke is extremely toxic, and there is no safe level of exposure to second hand smoke, be it indoors or outdoors,” she said. “Second hand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, and at

least 50 of these are known to cause cancer.”

Within a year of quitting smoking, risk of heart attack is cut in half, and within 10 years risk of dying of lung cancer is cut in half.

Economic and environmental impacts of smoking Kerri Wall said the impacts of smoking on the environment and economy should not be underrated.

“As we know from this summer’s fires, the environmental impacts are huge,” Wall said. In 2012, the latest year of statistics they have, 420 fires were caused by smokers materials in public buildings, parks or public areas. “in 2003 we know that a discarded cigarette started the Barrier fire, which destroyed 72 homes and nine local

The health care costs relating tobacco related ailments cost $2.3 billion annually.

Smoke free bylaws Wall said that outdoor smoking bylaws do work.

“They are one of the most effective ways to reduce tobacco use in our communities and reduce exposure to second hand smoke — again, especially for young people,” she said.

“Even in places such as Hong Kong, where smoking rates are very high, smoking has been decreased in areas where they are restricting smoking.”

Wall said public health policies that ban smoking are smart and effective policies that improve the health of the population.

There is a long list of communities that have such policies in place, such as Abbotsford, Nanaimo, Osoyoos and the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

Coun. Ron Popoff asked how the bylaws are enforced.

Wall said that only consistent complaints have resulted in enforcement activity in the municipalities they looked at.

“Most of the time it’s where people in the park, or on the trail, or the playground who say, ‘can you just smoke over there? Because the kids are right here,’” she said.

I feel compelled to write to advise you of a slight inaccuracy in the article (attached) printed in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman/ Bulletin on September 1st regarding the Diversity @ Work Award given to the Park Operator of our East Kootenay campgrounds.

Recognition should go to Jenna on behalf of her company EK Parks. BC Parks, which is part of a Division within the Ministry of Environment, cannot take credit for their great participation and support of the Employment Options Program.

That said, we are extremely pleased that Jenna and EK Parks are receiving the recognition they so well deserve.

Mill Closure

The popular question is: “What’s wrong with this picture?”

Canfor’s announcement recently to permanently close the Canal Flats sawmill due to “a lack of economically available fibre supply...” is a classic example of exploitation of our public forests and flies in the face the company’s policies regarding its commitment to communities and sustainability.

Here are direct quotes from their “2014 Sustainability Report”:

Communities “Canfor is a respected member of every community where we operate. At the end of the day, we want our neighbors to feel the community is stronger because Canfor is part of it.”

Performance “Our actions demonstrate our commitment to sustainability in everything we do in every part of our operations everyday.”

I bet the 80 laid off workers and their families, along with the town of Canal Flats, would have some strong opinions regarding these statements!

Do you know that Canfor has closed many Canadian mills in the past few years for the same reasons? Do you know that their 2014 annual report proudly crows about the recent purchase of six sawmills in the southern USA and their “rich and sustainable fibre supplies”? Is this Canfor’s idea of commitment to Canadians? The pattern is beginning to look a lot like “Cut and Run”!

As a retired professional forester I am particularly concerned that this mill closure is another example of the failure of our present forest management system to protect the public interest, not just jobs, but the forest itself. Obviously, the remaining “economically viable fibre supply” is under considerable pressure with the consequence of negative impacts on our views, water, wildlife and recreational opportunities. If you have any doubts, get in your vehicle and drive the forest roads to see for yourself!

The company’s history has shown that its only a matter of time until another there is another mill closure — when the fibre

runs out. Which workers will be next?

Where is the government and professional forester oversight to ensure the public interest is protected?

We can’t let the degradation of our forests and erosion of our jobs (to our competitors south of the border) continue. It’s time we look at the many viable alternatives to the relentless pursuit of multinational corporations for ultimate control of our public forests.

Jim Smith, RPF (ret) Creston

Kudos

I suppose I’m like a lot of people and only write Letters to the Editor when I have a complaint or beef about something, but I thought I would try to change that by writing this letter to compliment our City Staff.

Over the course of the last year of so, I have had several occasions to deal with the city on various issues. This has ranged from the admin staff, to engineering, to public works.

I have been treated with the utmost courtesy, professionalism and efficiency and I feel we are particularly well served by our city staff in this community.

Also, it is great to see all the paving done on our city streets this year. It is nice to see our council follow through with their campaign priorities.

Fall Fling will swing for caregivers Benefit dance for Cranbrook Caregivers, Friday, Sept. 25, features the big band Noteables Townsman Staff

The Noteables are back, and are ready to swing the house at a special fundraiser, set for Friday.

Cranbrook’s big band is bringing its swinging sound to the Heritage Inn on Sept.

25 for a benefit dance — Aggie’s Fall Fling — aiming to help support caregivers for elderly people in Cranbrook.

The event is being organized by Kevin Dunk and the Cranbrook Caregivers Group.

Dunk spoke about how the event touches him personally, as it pays homage to his own caregiving journey with his late mother Aggie.

“As someone who was a caregiver for a number of years for my Mother Aggie, I feel incredibly blessed to be involved with Aggie’s

Fall Fling, supporting Cranbrook caregivers,” he said. “I’m very excited about the Fall Fling — how it will honour my mother and at the same time provide a rest for those who are caregiving for a loved one. This is an essential component in enhancing their own health and well-being.”

As the population ages, the role of family caregivers has become more prominent as care in the familiar surroundings of the home may delay the onset of some symptoms, and postpone or eliminate the need for more professional costs as well. Family caregivers often give up time from work and forego pay in order to spend an average of 47 hours a week with a loved one, who frequently cannot be left alone.

Aggie’s Fall Fling is raising funds to sup-

port caregivers by providing patient comforts or help bring in and deliver educational materials for caregivers and their families.

The event will also bring together all of those caregiving for loved ones and give them an opportunity to mix and mingle.

Aggie’s Fall Fling is a recognized and approved fundraising event for the East Kootenay Foundation for Health. Donations raised at the event will be stewarded for caregiver programs in Cranbrook. For more information about the event, call Kevin Dunk at 250426-2450.

Tickets for Aggie’s Fall Fling are available at Lotus Books, at the door, or on-line at SNAP’d East Kootenay. Donations in support of the Cranbrook Caregivers are also greatly appreciated.

B.C. to increase wolf cull to save caribou Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

British Columbia is aiming to increase the number of wolves it kills this winter in the second year of a plan to save endangered caribou, prompting criticism from celebrities and renewed debate over the controversial strategy.

The wolf cull is the best shot to protect threatened caribou from extinction, say caribou experts and government officials, who admit it will take years to determine if the science behind killing wolves works.

“It’s like trying to dial a radio

station in with boxing gloves on,” said Tom Ethier, an assistant deputy minister at B.C.’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which oversees the cull. “We’re really trying to figure out: does this work?”

The government planned to kill about 200 wolves last winter, but a low snowpack and bad weather made the hunt difficult, he said. Sharpshooters in helicopters killed 84 wolves in B.C.’s northeast and southeast regions, Ethier said.

Wolves are preying on the herds, reducing some caribou

in those areas to the point of near extinction, he said.

“We did not meet our goal, so this year there could be more wolves removed,” Ethier said.

The South Selkirk caribou herd had just 18 animals in March 2014, down from 46 in 2009, the government stated.

There are about 950 caribou in seven herds in the northeast, with wolves responsible for 40 per cent of deaths in four of those herds.

“This is why we need to act,” Ethier said. “In five years, we’re hoping to turn it around and

hoping it tells us this technique works. Obviously, we would prefer choices that are not as striking as this one, and not so loaded emotionally.”

The ethical dilemma forces the government to either kill wolves in an attempt to save a species or do nothing and leave the caribou.

Since 2007, the province’s mountain caribou recovery program has protected 2.2-million hectares of habitat in the South Selkirk, and in 2012 the government protected about 400,000 hectares of habitat in the South Peace.

The ‘Eh?’-word: Maybe it wasn’t Hindi “Eh?” Me. Far too frequently.

Quite recently I was hoping to dine in a local restaurant. My friend and I have been going out on Wednesday evenings, trying out the various eating places in the vicinity of Kimberley and Cranbrook. It has, so far, been an interesting gastronomic exercise but we have been having some linguistic problems.

For example, in a well-established eating place the other day we had some confusion that the management should have been prepared for. Although everyone working there was quite pleasant and my particular companion felt that the ambiance suited him quite well, even though he can be extremely fussy about this, neither one of us could understand what the staff members were saying.

Well, I am accustomed to this; it has happened to me all over the world. However, at the same time, I have been served by men and women who spoke very reasonable, grammatical English, even in Thailand, Bosnia and Quebec.

But those attractive young women in the local restaurant had my companion and me flabbergasted. Although, apparently keen and willing to serve us, they could have been speaking Hindi.

But it wasn’t an Indian restaurant.

Finally, in exasperation, I tottered to my

feet, pulled myself up to my full height, which used to be six feet (1.87 kilograms), and put on my old school-master face.

My companion rose too, tottered a little until two young ladies rushed to his aid, then he got himself upright, a stalwart by my side.

Enunciating carefully, I said, “Now listen here! What you have before you are two English-speaking elderly gentlemen who, incidentally, are not hard of hearing, but are finding it difficult to interpret your gabble. Mr Mulcair, who you must know is trying to Peter be the next prime minister Warland of this great country of ours, wants seniors to age with dignity but, being forced to cup our hands to our ears in order to understand young people, it is a tough row to hoe.”

I paused to catch my breath and for my oration to sink in but, as usual, nobody seemed to understand. My companion wanted to know what I was going on about and sank back into his seat, turned the menu up the right way, and tried to comprehend its contents.

I wonder if it I the same every generation; the young always seem to be speaking incredibly fast or is it that the oldsters’ hearing slows down. I am tired of saying, “Eh?” in my own country.

I remember travelling in Holland. I spoke no Dutch at all but, everywhere, folk tried hard to make themselves understood,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

often in good simple English. At a roadside café we stopped for lunch and were attended by a charming girl, probably no older than sixteen, who made sure that our needs were served.

Then a family of Americans entered; they were pleasant, cheerful and boisterous but refused to speak an English that the young waitress could understand.

They wanted eggs ‘over easy’ or ‘sunny-side up’; they didn’t want toast; they’d love hash-browns. The poor Dutch girl was confused and it was my lovely wife who intervened. “For crying out loud,” she said, “Speak English not slang. If you want fried eggs, let her cook fry them. If you want bacon, just say so. Nobody here has heard of hash-browns. I certainly haven’t.” She sat down.

After a short silence, the man of the family came over to us and said quite humbly, “We forget. Please tell the girl we’re sorry.”

“Tell her yourself,” said my wife. “Use simple English and speak slowly.”

And that must become the rule. Everywhere we go these days people are turning more and more to English so it becomes necessary to use what is left of my native tongue slowly and succinctly, enunciated precisely. That way, you won’t confuse foreigners who are trying so hard to make themselves understood or those old codgers standing there with their gnarled hands cupped over their ears and muttering, “Eh?”

Hitmen double Ice to close WHL pre-season Taylor Rocc a

For the second consecutive outing, the Kootenay Ice were their own worst enemies.

The Ice wrapped up the 2015 Western Hockey League pre-season Saturday in the Crowsnest Pass, falling 4-2 to the Calgary Hitmen.

While turnovers cost the Ice in a 3-2 loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes Thursday, it was a lack of discipline killing momentum in the final fall tune-up on Saturday.

“We shot ourselves in the foot. We talked about this last time,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “This time we did it in a little different way. We killed our own momentum.”

After falling behind 2-0 midway through the first period, the Ice pushed back against a strong Hitmen squad.

Rookie forward Max Patterson capped the first-period response by the Ice, firing a long shot from the right wing that evaded the blocker of Hitmen goaltender Lasse Petersen. With 1:34 remaining in the opening period, the Ice were on the board and back in the game.

The momentum carried over to the second period before everything unraveled.

Midway through the period, Elliott Peterson redirected a Loch Morrison point shot past Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs to restore the

two-goal advantage for Calgary.

“I think our team just wasn’t really prepared coming in,” Hobbs said Saturday. “We have to be more mentally prepared coming in…We just have to work harder.

Sometimes in the game, we’re just not putting that extra effort in. If we can do that, I think we’re going to do fine.”

Hobbs is looking to battle his way into a permanent role with the Ice in 2015-16.

The native of Saskatoon appeared in two contests for the Ice in 2014-15, registering a 3.98 goals-against average and .875 save percentage.

Through two pre-season appearances this fall, Hobbs went 1-1-0 while steering aside 62 of the 68 shots sent his way.

With veteran Wyatt Hoflin already in town and Keelan Williams returning, the crease won’t be an easy place to lay claim to this fall.

“When I came in last year, I was pretty nervous,” Hobbs said. “I didn’t know what to expect. But I found where I wanted to be and settled down through the game.

I try doing that in these games, too. Early on, I try to tell myself, ‘Just calm down. You’ll play your best.’

“My number-one goal is to make the team.

I hope that can happen.

Coming through October, I hope I can keep up

my game and keep playing to my best.

“Both Hof and Willy are good guys. It’s good to have them mentor me. They’re older guys, they know what the league’s like and they tell me what I need to do. I appreciate that. It’s been really good.”

Moments after Peterson’s goal, veteran Ice forward Matt Alfaro was sent off for high-sticking.

On the ensuing power play, Hitmen forward Taylor Sanheim went to the net and was rewarded for his efforts as a loose puck landed on his tape. A helpless Hobbs couldn’t do much as the veteran forward deposited the gift into an open cage.

Just like that, the Hitmen had turned a close, one-goal game into a 4-1 uphill climb for the Ice. “We got undisciplined and selfish a little bit and took all momentum away from ourselves,” Pierce said.

“That’s a big part of the game, trying to control that.

“Everybody focuses on details of systems and things like that. For me, the bigger lesson we need to learn is our game management. By that, I mean a lot about momentum, trying to control it and not letting major swings go the other way and knowing how to put a stop to their momentum.”

From there, an experienced Hitmen squad

Import forward Roman Dymacek took advantage of a power-play midway through the third period to pull the Ice within two goals, but there was no more offense to be found as the Hitmen claimed a 4-2 victory to close out the pre-season.

“Today, wasn’t his best game, but he’s got that ability,” Pierce said of the 18-year-old Czech import. “He can kind of disappear for a while, then show up and create a chance. He’s got great speed and he’s starting to understand the systems stuff a little bit better. It’s a tough barrier — the language thing.

It’s a new thing for me, so I have to take more time, individually, with Roman to help him, but he’s willing. He plays

hard.

“He’s not your typical Don Cherry type of European.”

Dymacek came to the Ice via the 2015 CHL Import Draft.

The native of Hodonin, Czech Republic, doesn’t speak much English as of yet, politely declining an interview Saturday. He was able to divulge that he’s set to begin English classes at Cranbrook’s College of the Rockies this Monday.

Despite being saddled with the loss, the 17-year-old Hobbs was strong, turning aside 28 shots including a number of high-quality scoring opportunities in tight.

“Declan is a battler,” Pierce said. “The shot count wasn’t as high in that first period, but I think every shot they had was a good scoring chance or a high-quality chance. He doesn’t quit

Ice pare roster by three Taylor Rocc a

The Kootenay Ice roster got a little slimmer Sunday, as the team announced the reassignment of forwards Drew Warkentine (1998), Harris Pearce (1999) and defenceman Mark O’Shaughnessy (1997).

“It’s always tough, it’s the worst part of the job,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “We’ve got to start to move forward now. Whether we’re fully confident in the moves we’re going to make or not, we have to live with it and try to give ourselves the best chance moving forward.”

Warkentine is expected to return home to focus on his studies, while Pearce is headed for the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs of the B.C. Major Midget League.

O’Shaughnessy’s destination is to be determined.

The Ice roster now sits at 28 (three goaltenders, 11 defencemen, 14 forwards).

on anything. Much like Wyatt [Hoflin], he’s very active with the puck as well. We’re going to need that with how much time we’re going to spend stuck in our end. If he can move a puck out and make a pass, that’s going to relieve a lot of pressure from our opponent’s forecheck.”

Hitmen forward Beck Malenstyn provided a power-play tally to open the scoring in the first period, before Mark Kastelic doubled the lead with an evenstrength goal from just

outside the blue paint.

Petersen, 18, made 23 saves for his third victory of the WHL pre-season.

With the loss, the Ice finish the pre-season 2-3-1-0. The victory boosted the Hitmen to a perfect 7-0-0-0.

The Ice and Hitmen will take five days away from one another before renewing their long-standing Central Division rivalry.

The Ice host the Hitmen Friday at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook to open the WHL’s 50th season.

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Our daughter and her husband are major hoarders. They have two teenage children who have to climb over things to get into their beds. Every room has piles of junk. They will not get rid of anything because “one day, it may be valuable.” They never invite anyone into their home, which is a disaster and in major disrepair.

We are concerned for their health, but we’re afraid that if we challenge them, we will be cut off. We are also concerned that their home is a fire risk.

There is so much flammable stuff, and so few clear pathways, that were ever a fire, they would all likely die. How can we approach this without disastrous results? -- Worried Mother Dear Mother: These types of problems are heartbreaking, because sometimes, there is little you can do. A great deal of hoarding consists of simply collecting too much (of anything), having difficulty getting rid of things and problems with organization. Many hoarders won’t admit that anything is amiss.

First, check to see if your area has a Hoarding Task Force. Then contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information.

The organization also provides referrals and suggestions for talking to someone with a hoarding problem, stressing positive talk about safety, without using judgmental terms such as “junk” or telling them they live in a “trash heap.”

Please look into it and find out how you can best approach your daughter so she receives the help she needs.

Dear Annie: I’ve been fighting a terminal illness for close to three years.

I never cease to be amazed by what some “friends” say to me. Sometimes their comments seem so heartless.

One friend said, “Well, least your mother isn’t living with you.” (Hers is.)

Another told me, “At least you’re not going through a divorce.” (She is.) And the best one: “At least you didn’t have to watch your screaming grandkids all weekend.” (She did.)

Annie, I have been through a divorce, my mother did live with me for a while, and I can only pray I get to meet my grandchildren before my numbered days are up.

Please share this advice with your readers: If you aren’t sure what to say to someone in my circumstances, simply say, “I’m so sorry you have to go through all of this.” I don’t need people trying to convince me that their lives are worse than mine. I would trade places with any of them in a heartbeat.

-- Dying Too Young Dear Too Young: Your friends, like the rest of us, see our own problems as huge hurdles, but yours puts theirs into perspective. Your friends also are trying to minimize the seriousness of your situation because that provides comfort for them, and they assume it does for you, as well. They are mistaken, but they won’t know unless you are brave enough to tell them. You shouldn’t have to spend your social encounters resenting your friends for these thoughtless comments. Explain that you’d rather talk about other things and tell them why.

Prescribed burns planned for East Kootenay For t h e Tow n s man

With the hot summer months winding down, BC Wildfire Service crews can now focus their efforts on the proactive burning of selected areas in accordance with the longterm plan of enhancing native plant and animal life as well as creating conditions for more fire-resilient communities.

In addition to enhancing natural habitat for a variety of fauna and flora, selected prescribed burning creates a mixture on the landscape, so large areas have less fuel available to burn in the event of a wildfire, which decreases its severity, and potentially lessens its impact on communities.

These particular ecosystem restoration burns promote plant succession by rejuvenating existing grass and native plants within the area. It also decreases the amount of live trees, which will create larger canopy openings. Historically,

the Rocky Mountain Trench was an open valley bottom with very few trees present. Naturally-occurring low-intensity fires burned every five to seven years in the valley bottom, while more intense fires burned at about 20-year intervals at higher elevations.

Since the absence of wildfires in recent decades, many areas have become overgrown and no longer represent the natural attributes of this unique biological zone.

By increasing canopy openings, controlled burns enhance plant habitat by allowing more areas to be exposed to sunlight and precipitation. Once native plants repopulate the area, many animal species such as mule deer, elk and sheep once again use these areas as foraging grounds.

Fire has played a pivotal role in preserving biodiversity in many areas, the Trench in particular. In fact, through evolution and

BC Wildfire Service crews are going to focus efforts on the proactive burning of selected areas in accordance with the long-term plan of enhancing native plant and animal life. exposure to wildfire, many plants and animals have adapted to fire and actually depend on it to regenerate.

The benefits of these planned ecosystem restoration burns are many, and include the improvement and rejuvenation of winter ranges for elk, deer and

sheep. Reintroducing fire to this fire-dependant ecosystem ensures targeted trees will thrive while biodiversity is enhanced across the landscape. Low-to-moderate intensity prescribed fire also returns the area to its natural state.

In addition to the important role wildfire

plays in maintaining biodiversity, its role in protecting communities

from catastrophic wildfires cannot be understated. This past summer alone, previously burned areas were a significant factor in the suppression of two interface fires within the Southeast Fire Centre.

The geographic locations of the prescribed ecosystem restoration burns planned for the East Kootenay are as follows: Raymond and Donald Creek — these areas, totalling 450 hectares in size, are located in the Galton Range. Smoke from this prescribed burn will be highly visible from Highway 93 and the communities of Jaffray, Baynes Lake, Koocanusa and Elko.

Once ignited, this area will be allowed to burn, under supervision, until the winter.

Wolf Creek — This 250-hectare planned burn is above Quartz Lake, in the Premier Provincial Park. Smoke will be visible from Wasa Lake and highways 95 and 95.

Estella Face — This 150-hectare area is south of Lazy Lake. Its smoke will be visible from several areas, including Wasa, highways 93 and 95 and Ta Ta Creek.

Burn Bottom — This 380-hectare scheduled burn is adjacent to the community of Kragmont, just outside of Baynes Lake. There has been previous slashing work done to this area.

Smoke from this project will be visible from highway 93 and the communities of Baynes Lake, Jaffray, Elko and surrounding areas.

NOW AT NUTTERS – YOU’RE A SENIOR AT 60!!

Moyie, BC — As EKFH prepares for the November launch of its 8th annual Starlite Campaign donations are already arriving to help light up the large brilliant blue stars or the smaller green & white stars.

What has become a tradition for residents at the Eagle’s Nest RV Resort a summer get together takes on a charitable meaning with everyone joining in to raise funds for the Starlite Campaign and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital oncology unit.

This year the resort’s entertainment director Larry Warren led the

residents through fun filled days of activities.

By the end of the camping season an astonishing $7,200 was generously given to recognize and honour Janice “Billy” Salomons who lost her battle with cancer on July 12.

“Our family is deeply moved by the generosity of our friends and neighbours here at Eagle’s Nest. When that star lights up for Billy it will truly honour her courage and grace of never letting her diagnosis stop her from loving and living life to its fullest,” said John Salomons.

On November 27, this donation combined with several others; will

light the first two of the 17 large stars atop the regional hospital.

This year’s Starlite Campaign is focused on raising much-needed funds for regional and community health programs. These programs are dedicated to helping those with arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory needs, and more or for those who may require help with chronic disease management, home care nursing, in-home oxygen, wound, senior, pediatric and self-care programs.
