Candidates tangle in first public debate T R E VO R C R AWL EY

First Nations issues came to the forefront of the federal election on Wednesday night at the Ktunaxa Nation Council, which featured a debate between four of five federal party candidates.

Bill Green (Green Party), Wayne Stetski (NDP), Don Johnston (Liberal Party) and incumbent David Wilks (Conservative Party) spent two hours discussing Ab-

original issues in a forum moderated by Joe Pierre.

Libertarian candidate Christina Yahn was unable to attend.

The format consisted of six issues that the candidates were alerted to beforehand, before opening up the floor to a Q&A period. Each candidate was also allotted a closing statement.

The six issues at the centre of the forum included: land claims and resource

revenue sharing, quality of life gap, the UN declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, missing and murdered aboriginal women,

pace and progress of treaties and housing, education and health care.

Topics from the floor— asked by First Nations mem-

bers of the audience—issues included childcare for single parents, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the need for action on environ-

mental issues, funding for First Nations students studying off-reserve and more.

Wolf cull to continue this year Opposition groups put up billboard on TransCanada C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The government of British Columbia will continue its controversial wolf cull this year with the intent of saving the dwindling herds of mountain caribou in the

South Selkirk and South Peace regions.

It’s not a strategy with any guarantee of success but it gained the reluctant support of conservation group Wildsight last year.

“The short-term strategies to remove wolves may not ultimately lead to mountain caribou recovery,” wrote director John Bergenske in his blog.

Travelling through time with Ethan Russell Renowned rock photographer takes us to the heart of a musical and cultural revolution

BARRY COULTER

To travel with Ethan Russell is to breathe rarified air. And where Russell is travelling, the air is charged with electricity.

Ethan Russell, American photographer, au-

Russell is the only photographer to have shot album covers for the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and The Who. He was the Stones’ official photographer through

Lee Jones, Rosanne Cash and numerous others.

Russell will be at the Key City Theatre with a multi-media presentation of some of the most

astounding photographs of that age, Saturday, Oct. 17.

Russell spoke to the Townsman from his home in Marin County, north of San Francisco.

“It’s really a one man show that tells my story,” Russell said. “It’s an evening of stories. But I really tell my story — which is an incredible story, true and unlikely.”

Candidates respond to aboriginal issues Continued from page 1 Dr. Joyce Green, the organizer of the event (no relation to Green Party candidate Bill Green), said she was thankful for the candidates for coming out.

“I think it is very important that each of them begins to think about Indigenous issues. I don’t believe our political parties—certainly not our governments—think enough about Aboriginal issues.

I don’t think non-Indigenous Canadians, or local people, think enough about Aborigi-

nal issues, and this event helps,” she said.

“We heard very important questions, we heard some really good answers, and we heard some answers that showed that people have much work to do to understand this issue.

“This is all helpful in a democracy, that our politicians learn to think deeply about things that make them uncomfortable or that may not be popular in their parties, because Ktunaxa and Metis are

Online voting gets tepid thumbs up Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. municipal leaders voted by a slim margin Wednesday to urge the province to enable online voting in time for the 2018 local elections.

The resolution from Osoyoos was passed by 51 per cent of delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in an electronic vote after it had initially been declared defeated in a show of hands.

Advocates say the convenience of online voting could boost the dismal turnout of municipal elections and engage many more young people.

Vancouver Coun.

Andrea Reimer said no municipality would be forced to adopt online voting, the aim is merely to make it an available option for communities and individuals that want it.

But Saanich Coun.

Vic Derman warned there’s no way to guarantee an online voter is casting their ballot in privacy, without someone else directing or manipulating them, possibly buying their vote.

“It does affect one’s privacy of vote that should take place behind a screen at a ballot box,” said Lorne Lewis, a Sunshine Coast Regional District director. He said it’s wrong “to put people in a situation

where they can be badgered about their vote.”

The close vote suggests the issue is having increasing trouble gaining traction.

A similar UBCM motion in 2011 passed by a two-to-one margin.

Since then, an independent panel struck by the provincial government concluded last year that the risks outweigh the benefits, and recommended that any move to online voting be limited to voters with specific accessibility challenges.

That report by B.C.’s chief electoral officer also found no evidence of a significant increase in voter turnout in other jurisdictions that have adopted online voting.

Reimer isn’t concerned about the close vote and said online voting for B.C. mayors and councils is inevitable.

“The only question is when and how far behind other jurisdictions we’ll be when we get to that point.”

not considered by the federal government, nor the provincial governments, so I’m at least happy, that in an election, we can get some issues on the public record.”

Common themes of the night from all parties included allowing First Nations the right to govern themselves, importance of treaties and resource-sharing agreements, and infrastructure concerns on First Nations territory.

There were, obviously, a few differences in policy between the four parties—namely on the issue of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. The Liberal, NDP and Green parties supported the creation of a national inquiry if elected, while the Conservative Party supports moving forward on a report (Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Wom-

en—A National Operational Overview) that was released last year.

Wilks referenced his service as an RCMP officer and his long-term recovery from addiction.

“It’s very telling what the problem is,” Wilks said, urging people to read the report.

Both Wilks and Johnston, who has worked with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, both noted the importance of educating senior levels of government bureaucracy on issues on the ground.

Green, who serves as the director of the Canadian Columbia River Inter-tribal Fisheries Commission in the Columbia-Kootenay region, hit on themes of reconciliation throughout the evening.

“What I take away from this is that there’s

huge strong interest in First Nations issues, in reconciliation, not only within the Ktunaxa Nation, but other First Nations and also the non-native community,” Green said.

“Reconciliation is an issue we need to be speaking about across the riding, and indeed across country, but all we can control is the discussions within this riding.”

Don Johnston brought up the Kelowna Accord, an agreement that aimed to improve the education, employment, and living conditions for Aboriginal peoples through governmental funding and other programs.

If elected, the Liberal Party would seek to revisit or recreate a similar kind of guiding document.

“The Liberal Party had managed, working

with First Nations from across this country, to create a document called the Kelowna Accord in 2005. That was a new way forward that looked at government-to-government respectful, honest and clear conversations and had an action plan that everyone was on board with,” Johnston said.

“When the Paul Martin government was defeated, nothing has come in to replace it.”

Stetski leaned on his time as the regional director with the Ministry of Environment as well as his time in office as the Mayor of Cranbrook to highlight his relationship with the Ktunaxa in the region, noting that actions speak louder

than words.

“To me, I started my schooling years going to a residential school in the Northwest Territories and all my friends were Inuit,” Stetski said.

“All through my lifetime, I’ve considered First Nations people my friends and my neighbours and you want a Member of Parliament—in my mind— who considers you a friend and neighbour because we care about each other.”

The next debate featuring the majority of the candidates in the federal election is the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Kootenay forum which is at the Key City Theatre on Oct. 6, starting at 7 p.m.

and told Cyrus to stick to singing. If the province needed advice on the singer’s signature dance move — twerking — they would ask, the Premier said.

Pamela Anderson has also spoken out against it.

Celebrities aside, however, there is opposition to the cull and it is getting a visible boost on the Trans Canada Highway.

With support and project sponsorship received from Animal Alliance of Canada, non-profit group Wolf Awareness has erected a billboard on the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Golden.

“The billboard is intended to bring exposure to BC’s aerial gunning experiment and lackadaisical hunting and trapping regulations, alerting visitors and residents alike to the mistreatment of this highly intelligent and social species,” said Sadie Parr from Wolf Aware-

ness Inc. “Through the Freedom of Information process, Wolf Awareness president Gary Allan has revealed that the province’s plans to kill wolves on a large scale surrounding the South Peace and South Selkirk caribou herds will last for a minimum of five years.

Further information gained through the FOIP confirmed the pre-determined agenda of the recently released provincial wolf management plan (April 17, 2014) to legitimize the systematic killing of wolves, validating massive concerns raised during the public comment period. Within a week of releasing the new management plan, there were aircrafts searching for wolves to gun down.

Wolf Awareness also revealed the experimental nature of the plan to kill this apex predator under the guise of caribou conservation, as recently admitted by assistant Depu-

SUBMITTED

ty Minister Tom Ethier in public statements.”

Ethier did state publicly that the efficacy of the wolf cull in protecting mountain caribou wasn’t certain. The government was still trying to figure out if it will work, he said.

Parr has strong words for that strategy.

“Many wolf biologists argue that allowing wolves to express their natural social behaviour benefits the wider ecosystem as well as wolves.

The BC government wants to kill wolves for sport, to appease ranchers, and under the pretense of recovering an endangered species that has little habitat left.”

“Habitat recovery continues to be an important part of caribou recovery, but cannot address the critical needs of these herds in the short term,” said the government in a statement last spring.

Wildlife in Cranbrook TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Conservation officers are investigating a cougar sighting near Kinsmen Park that was reported on Monday night.

While the sighting was reported to authorities and shared on Facebook by a concerned citizen, COs have been unable to contact the complainant or locate the animal.

“We haven’t planned any capture activity or actioning or anything like that,” said Sgt. Cam Schley, a conservation officer based in Cranbrook. “We’re just treating it as a sighting right now.”

The sighting itself details a cougar spotted in the field portion of the Park adjacent to Victoria Ave. It’s the second reported incident of recent predator activity, as a black bear also forced it’s way through a fence into

a homeowner’s backyard bordering the Cranbrook Golf Course last Saturday.

The bear stayed around for much of the day before leaving sometime during the night.

Schley confirms that there are still a lot of bear sightings coming in from around the region.

“Our bear calls are significant right now,” Schley said. “We’re getting a lot of bear complaints daily—both grizzly and black bear—from Cranbrook, Kimberley and the whole Elk Valley.”

To report any wildlife, call the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277, which is open 24 hours, seven days a week. The information is passed on to the local branch of the Conservation Officer Service, where it is recorded and responded to if needed.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Smoke Detectors Save Lives - It is important to place smoke detectors in the right place in your home and to test them regularly to make sure that they work properly.

You can minimize your family’s risk of fire-related injury or death by installing the right number of smoke detectors in the right places in your home, and by keeping them all in good working order. The following statistics were gathered from data from 2009 – 2014 in BC: • Dead batteries were found in smoke alarms in 302 residential fires resulting in 39 injuries and 7 fatalities.

• Power had not been connected or smoke alarms were found disabled/off in 230 residential fires resulting in 32 injuries and 7 fatalities.

• Smoke alarms were found to be ineffective due to their unsuitable locations in 582 fires resulting in 15 injuries and 1 fatality.

• Regrettably, no smoke alarms were installed in 1,966 residential fires resulting in 113 injuries and 20 fatalities.

The seniors smoke alarm program is still in effect, offering seniors in need a free evaluation of the current smoke alarms within the home. For more information on the seniors smoke alarm program and proper placement of your smoke alarm, please visit http://www.kimberley.ca/services/emergency-services/fire-services/smokealarm-regulations or contact the Kimberley Fire Department at 250-427-4114.

Protect Yourself from Carbon Monoxide – A carbon monoxide detector is the best way to protect your family, it is also important to place detectors in the proper places in your home and test them regularly.

• Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odorless, tasteless, toxic gas that enters the body through the lungs during the normal breathing process. It replaces oxygen in the blood and prevents the flow of oxygen to the heart, brain and other vital organs.

• Hundreds of Canadians are hospitalized each year from carbon monoxide poisoning, many of whom are permanently disabled.

• Everyone is at risk – 88% of all homes contain something that poses a carbon monoxide threat.

Please visit http://safetyauthority.ca/carbon-monoxide for more information.

providThe years between birth and schoolage are a critical time in a child’s life. The experiences that children have in the early years influence their future health, well-being, and life-long learning. Children who have had exposure to language rich environments and play based early learning experiences are more likely to develop the skills, knowledge and dispositions to support their success in school.

Some of the benefits children experience from attending these programs are increased development physically, linguistically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. Parents and caregivers gain knowledge of activities they can try at home to further support their child’s learning, learn about a range of guidance strategies that support social and emotional development, receive information on other services in the community, Call 250-427-5309 for more information.

The shape of things to come T he sheer dithering cluelessness of the European Union’s leaders, faced with an unexpected surge in the number of migrants seeking refugee status in EU countries, challenges all our previous definitions of incompetence. A new standard has been set.

All of a sudden, in July, the main stream of refugees arriving in Europe switched from the trans-Mediterranean track out of Libya to the Aegean Sea, where the crossing from the Turkish coast to the Greek islands just offshore is less than one-tenth as far. People are drowning on this Aegean route too, but far fewer of them.

They don’t want to stay in Greece, of course — and although Greece is part of the Schengen area, which abolishes border controls between most EU members, it has no common border with any other Schengen member. Migrants wishing to claim refugee status in some richer EU country must therefore trek on up through the Balkans, seeking to reach some other Schengen country like Hungary or Slovenia.

They don’t want to stay in those countries either, but once they are in any Schengen country other than Greece they can travel on freely to their real destinations, usually Germany, Sweden or France.

Or at least they could until about two weeks ago. Then the panic started.

Heading up from Greece, the migrants first reached Macedonia (not a Schengen country). It tried to protect its border for a while, then realised they just wanted to cross Macedonia and let them all through.

Serbia (also not a Schengen country) did the same — which delivered them to the southern border of Hungary.

Hungary has been building a threemetre-high razor-wire fence along its

southern frontier to keep asylum-seekers out, and it used considerable violence against the mostly Syrian refugees at first.

But then Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, wearing her Lady Bountiful cloak, announced that Germany would accept as many as wanted to come.

So Hungary opened its border and the refugees surged through, on their way to Austria and thence to Germany. That lasted precisely two days. Then Merkel panicked at the numbers arriving in Germany and “temporarily” closed the border with Gwynne Austria. So to stop refugees from piling up in Austria, Dyer Vienna closed the border with Hungary — and Hungary shut its border with Serbia for the same reason.

Nothing daunted, the refugees stuck on the Hungarian border turned left and headed for Croatia (not a Schengen member). Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic declared that the government was “entirely ready to receive or direct those people where they want to go, which is obviously Germany or Scandinavian countries.” He knew they really just wanted to cross Croatia to get into Slovenia or Hungary (which ARE Schengen members).

But 24 hours later the Croatian government, shocked by the numbers that were coming, shut its border too. Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said his country was “absolutely full” and told the migrants: “Don’t come here any more. Stay in refugee centres in Serbia and Macedonia and Greece. This is not the road to Europe.”

Meanwhile Hungary declared that it was extending its razor-wire fence to cover the border with Croatia as well, and Slovenia began to stop trains coming from Croatia to search for refugees. There will be a

summit this week at which EU governments will try to come up with a coherent common policy, but don’t hold your breath while waiting for the good news.

The EU probably will sort it out eventually, because the numbers are not really all that huge. Around 500,000 migrants (most of whom will claim refugee status) have entered the European Union this year, which is only one percent of the EU’s population.

It is not beyond the wit of the EU’s leaders to work out legal ways to send false claimants home, to settle the refugees already in Europe, and to strengthen the EU’s external border controls. Some lasting damage may be done to the EU’s ideals in the process, but for most practical purposes life in Europe will return to normal — for a while.

However, this refugee crisis is only a rehearsal for the main event, which will probably arrive in ten to twenty years’ time. It will be driven by global warming, which will devastate agriculture in the Middle East and North Africa and produce a five- or tenfold increase in the number of refugees heading for Europe.

This is not what MIGHT happen IF the world’s governments don’t make the right deal at the climate summit in Paris in December. This is what almost certainly WILL happen even if they do make the right deal now. A considerable amount of warming is already locked into the system no matter what we do about the climate now – enough to produce that kind of refugee flow in the future.

There is not the slightest sign that EU policy-makers have taken this on board. If they are taken by surprise again, the European Union may collapse. So may several southern European states.

Fabulous Fondo

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

I just want to send out a big thank you to all the Fondo Force volunteers, sponsors and organizers of the Kootenay Gran Fondo. That was one of the best events I’ve ever participated in. Everyone from the registration to the finish line was fantastic.

The hill at Fort Steele was a killer but the volunteer on the dirt bike who checked to see if I was still moving gave me encouragement to make it to the summit (yes, it felt like a mountain!).

The lunch in the St. Eugene Pavilion was a surprise to all the riders. Seriously — who has ever enjoyed such a delicious lunch after a race where chandeliers dangle from the ceiling?

I’m looking forward to next years race but will stay two days — the Wine and Cheese Social looks like the perfect reward after a long ride.

Thanks Cranbook! Pat yourself on the back.

Kimberley Haven

Returning from a week away, I learned in transit of a dear neighbour in police custody after a long standoff — and that his name is out on the ‘grapevine’.

By all accounts, RCMP handled a drawn-out ordeal with care and expert pacing. They and our Daily Bulletin are to be commended for reporting the story with such discretion.

Many crisis survivors, including me, know Kimberley as an unbeatable place for recovery and revival. This man has endured, and still faces, some very severe pressures and concerns. A newer resident here, he is widely loved and admired, with friends and relatives ready to stand by him through it all. As it is for so many, let Kimberley be his haven for rest and re-charging.

Debate Questions

With no explanation, the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce has changed the venue for the federal candidates’ forum from the 517 seat McKim auditorium to the much smaller,128 seat theatre at Centre 64. This decision undermines the ability of the electorate to participate in the democratic process by severely limiting the number of people in attendance.

While the Chamber has extended an invitation to the public to submit questions to the candidates, those questions must be pre-approved. Pre-approved by

lems CFI and latter Tembec faced, they always managed to keep operating. In all those years both former companies spent millions to upgrade and modernize both the planner and sawmills, to make sure they were always viable.

Some years yes, it was tough but they always managed to fight off that “final blow”.

For me there were issue’ I wondered about when Tembec took over, but that was their ultimate decision and they had to live with it. When they announced they had sold the mill, they were again having problems and everyone thought Canfor was the big rescue and were going to save the day. (same thoughts when Tembec took over). Myself, already retired, I didn’t really worry about it but something just didn’t sit right with me.

Canfor also owns the Radium sawmill, and they had been shut down “indefinitely” for a very long time. Canfor readily admitted it was because of taking over from Tembec that they would be able to restart the Radium mill.

With the forestry laws changed, allowing companies the freedom to NOT be operating in an area they get their timber supply from, Canfor was now in a position to get the former Tembec timber supplies to open the Radium mill, which is just what they did.

Then the sudden cutbacks in the Flats, yet Radium kept running. After all, Canfor has no real ties with Canal Flats, not like they do in Radium. Then just a few short months later, the same song of poor Brent Bush, President timber supplies, low prices for the lumCranbrook Local 728 ber, the economic downturn, no more so Canadian Union of Postal Workers I think than in the past, and bang, the Flats is out and gone.

One thing Tembec had always told us was that if and when push came to shove, We in Cranbrook cannot say enough even though Canal Flats was farther from about the coaches in our community. the US border, where our lumber went to, There is not a week goes by without our Elko would shut down first.

whom? The Kimberley Chamber of Commerce? A particular candidate?Chambers of Commerce hosting forums in this riding are far from being the impartial, neutral facilitators they would have the public believe. In fact they are taking a very active role in framing not only the political forums but the focus of the election itself.

A case in point is the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce’s 4 page “Voice of Business” insert in Thursdays’ edition of the Townsman/Bulletin, which has run several times during the election. The insert describes the Chamber as being actively engaged in the federal election and outlines areas of the economy that are important to them, yet the “Voice of Business” carefully reminds us that they are an apolitical organization. Really?

How is it that an organization with a clear political agenda, one of business and the economy, (yet claims to be apolitical and neutral), be allowed to host political candidate forums? Will the questions asked during the forums reflect Chamber priorities or will they comprise a much more diverse spectrum of topics, as they should?

Just in case my question is not pre-approved (again) by the Chamber, I respectfully submit it here: “What is each candidates’ position regarding the Conservatives’ plan to eliminate Door to Door Mail delivery in Kimberley, Cranbrook and Nelson and eliminate 6000 to 8000 well paying jobs across Canada?”

WHL Season Preview: Part II - Central Division With the help of beat reporters around the league, the Townsman provides a look at the WHL’s 50th anniversary season Calgary Hitmen Scot t Fisher Calgary Sun

Last season: 45-22-1-4, first in Central Division, lost in Eastern Conference final to Brandon Wheat Kings in five games.

Head coach: Mark French (second season).

Assistant coaches: Darcy Wakaluk (12th season), Joel Otto (ninth season), Trent Whitfield (first season).

Key losses: Overagers C Adam Tambellini, LW Connor Rankin and LW Kenton Helgesen as well as D Keegan Kanzig, who will likely play in the American Hockey League.

The 20-year-olds: D Colby Harmsworth, LW Elliott Peterson, G Brendan Burke.

The imports: C Pavel Karnaukhov (2014 CHL import, first round; Calgary Flames fifth round, 2015), C Radel Fazleev (2013 CHL import, first round; Philadelphia Flyers sixth round, 2014).

MEDICINE HAT TIGERS

Ryan McCr acken Medicine Hat News

Last season: 45-23-22, second in Central Division, eliminated in second round of playoffs.

Head coach: Shaun Clouston (sixth season as coach, fourth as general manager).

Assistant coaches: Joe Frazer (sixth season), Jerrid Sauer (second), J.F. Martel (goaltending).

Key losses: G Marek Langhamer — Big Czech was backbone for two seasons, now they’ll be leaning on 18-year-old Nick Schneider, who served as backup last year ... D Tyler Lewington — Captain parted in the off-season as an overage player.

The 20-year-olds: Enter with as many as seven 20-year-olds, but unlikely D Kyle Burroughs (New York Islanders) or D Tommy Vannelli (St. Louis Blues) return. The Tigers likely retain leading scorers LW Trevor Cox (28G, 80A) and RW Cole Sanford (50G, 45A) as two of three, with the remaining spot up for grabs between D Ty Stanton (10G, 18A), import LW Markus Eisenschmid (19G, 25A) and D Matt Staples (2G, 8A).

The imports: Unlikely Medicine Hat retains Eisenschmid, as

Key returnees: LW Jake Virtanen (sixth overall in 2014, Vancouver Canucks) will be a force to be reckoned with if he’s returned by the NHL club.

New faces: RW Matt Dorsey, C Mark Kastelic, LW Dawson Martin, RW Murhpy Stratton, RW Andrew Fyten, RW Lucas Cullen, D Jakob LaPointe, D Aaron Hyman, G Kyle Dumba, G Lasse Petersen.

Watch for: C Jordy Stallard scored six goals as a rookie. He’ll score 20 as a sophomore.

Noteworthy: Hitmen D Jake Bean, who put up 39 points in 51 games in his rookie campaign, went untouched through the bantam draft.

Did you know: The Hitmen have qualified for the post-season 17 of the last 18 seasons.

The prognosis: The Hitmen will be very deep on the blueline but will likely struggle to fill the net. They should still be a top four team in the Eastern Conference, but won’t be in the same league as the Brandon Wheat Kings.

he occupies an import and overage spot. The Tigers have taken on Russian D Alexei Platonov and Hungarian D Tamas Laday.

Key returnees: Cox and Sanford reached career highs last season, while Cox became one of only four players since 1997 to record 80 assists in a season ... D David Quenneville is coming off a strong 16-year-old season and will looking to cement his place as one of the league’s most promising defencemen.

New faces: RW Caleb Fantillo — drafted 123rd overall in 2013 — has two goals and two assists through four pre-season games and is poised to join as a 17-year-old ... C Max Gerlach signed with the Tigers, ending his NCAA eligibility after previously committing to North Dakota.

Watch for: Options in the trade market as the season gets underway.

Given the departure of many 19- and 20-yearold players, they’ll likely be in the market for veteran presence.

Noteworthy: The Tigers are known to play

with a shoot-first mentality, and that won’t change this season. Expect some lopsided shot counts in close games.

Did you know: Cox (second in WHL scoring for 2014-15) and Sanford (fourth in WHL scoring for 2014-15) went undrafted in the NHL. The prognosis: While the Tigers look as though they may be in the midst of a rebuild, with solid young talent and potential in the trade market, it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see them extend their playoff streak to 14 years.

Defenceman Travis Sanheim (#32) returns to Calgary in hopes of helping guide the Hitmen to another Central Division title. The Hitmen and Kootenay Ice open the WHL regular season Friday in Cranbrook.

Red Deer Rebels

Greg MeachEm Red Deer Advocate

Last season: 38-23-5, third in Central Division, lost in first round of playoffs.

Head coach: Brent Sutter (11th season).

Associate: Jeff Truitt (third season).

Assistant coaches: Steve O’Rourke (third season), Eric Lodge (skills development, first), Taylor Dakers (goaltenders, third).

Key losses: LW Riley Sheen, led club in scoring with 71 points (24-47), RW Brooks Maxwell (27-3259), D Brett Cote (9-40-49), all to graduation.

The 20-year-olds: D Kayle Doetzel, C Presten Kopeck, C Wyatt Johnson.

The imports: LW Ivan Nikolishin, acquired in off-season trade with Everett; C Michael Spacek, selected in CHL Import Draft.

Key returnees: C Conner Bleackley (Colorado

Avalanche), D Haydn Fleury (Carolina Hurricanes), Johnson (25-29-54), Kopeck (21-27-48), C Adam Musil (St. Louis Blues), Doetzel, D Nelson Nogier (Winnipeg Jets), LW Evan Polei (16G), G Rylan Toth.

WHL Season Preview: Part II - Central Division Kootenay Ice

Taylor Rocc a Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Last season: 37-31-1-3, fourth in Central Division, eliminated by Calgary Hitmen in first round Head coach: Luke Pierce (first season) Assistant coaches: Gordon Burnett (first season), Mike Bergren (goaltending coach, fourth), Wayne Dougherty (skills and development coach, second) Key losses: Elite offense of C Sam Reinhart (Buffalo Sabres), LW Tim Bozon (Montreal Canadiens) and D Rinat Valiev (Toronto Maple Leafs) won’t be easily replaced.

The 20-year-olds: Too many.

G Wyatt Hoflin (36-26-0-3, 3.10 GAA) and C Luke Philp seem likely locks. Beyond that, RW Jaedon Descheneau (St. Louis Blues) could land third spot if returned from NHL. Also in the mix: D Tyler King (long-term injury), D Tanner Lishchynsky (short-term injury), RW Jon Martin.

The imports: D Mario Grman

Edmonton Oil Kings Greg Meachem Red Deer Advocate

Last season: 34-31-4, finished fifth in Central Division, seventh in Eastern Conference; lost in first round of playoffs.

Head coach: Steve Hamilton (second season).

Assistant coaches: Ryan Marsh, Kurtis Mucha (goaltenders).

Key losses: D Ashton Sautner, D Blake Orban, LW Edgars Kulda, all to graduation; LW Mads Eller (pro); G Tristan Jarry (pro).

The 20-year-olds: C Brandon Baddock, D Ben Carroll, RW Luke Bertolucci.

The imports: RW Dario Meyer of Switzerland; D Anatolii Elizarov of Russia; both selected in this year’s CHL import draft.

Key returnees: LW Brett Pollock (Dallas Stars) led the club in scoring last season with 32 goals and 62 points; C Lane Bauer, second in team scoring in 2014-15 with 55 points (25G, 30A); D Dysin Mayo (Arizona Coyotes) who will co-anchor the back end

(Slovakia) has 35 games of WHL experience while LW Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) is new to North America.

Key returnees: Philp (30G, 52A) will be relied on for leadership. RW Zak Zborosky (18G,

22A) needs to find consistency. D Cale Fleury (1G, 12A) can take over minutes vacated by Valiev.

New faces: D/F Nathyn Mortlock, 19, is pursuing a second chance after release by Regina Pats. RW Max Patterson (fourth round, 2014), 16 in December, could be one of the youngest WHLers on an opening-day roster. LW Jared Legien (first round, 2013), 17, looks to stick after 13 with Carroll and fellow veteran Aaron Irving; Baddock, scored 19 goals last season and is a legitimate heavyweight.

New faces: G Alec Dillon, 6-foot-5 stopper played in the USHL last season and at one time was committed to NCAA school

RPI; RW Colton Kehler, played in the BCHL last season with Langley and Cowichan Valley; LW Kole Gable, coming off a 22-goal, 44-point season with the midget AAA Fort Saskatchewan Rangers; G Carter Phair, posted a 2.82 GAA and .914 save percentage with midget AAA Yorkton Maulers; D Kyle Yewchuk, Calgary native played with midget AAA Northstars; LW Kobe Mohr, Oil Kings’ first-round selection in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, scored 15 goals and collected 34 points as a

games last season.

Watch for: Work ethic will be the calling card. Pierce, 32, has preached that and intelligent play. If group buys into message being sold by WHL’s youngest coach, they will compete nightly.

Noteworthy: Hoflin was a workhorse in 2014-15, setting franchise marks in games played (67), minutes played (3,848), saves (1,837), wins (36) and consecutive games played (29). Will his workload be eased by G Keelan Williams (1-5-0-0, 4.77 GAA) or G Declan Hobbs (0-0-1-0, 3.98 GAA) in 2015-16?

Did you know: The Ice have made the playoffs in 17 consecutive seasons and own an active WHL record of 16 consecutive regular seasons with a mark of .500 or better.

The prognosis: A young group with plenty to prove, both on the ice and behind the bench, will have to work hard for every win.

That reality mixed with key veterans should keep the Ice in the Eastern wild-card mix.

15-year-old with the midget AAA Lloydminster Bobcats.

Watch for: The Oil Kings to start slow as their three rookie defencemen get up to speed; Dillon to immediately assume the starting goaltender job; Pollock to again lead the team in scoring and become a hot commodity at the trade deadline — or earlier — if the Oil Kings emerge as non-contenders.

Noteworthy: The Oil Kings, who captured the WHL championship in 2012 and ‘14 and won the Memorial Cup the second time around, have qualified for the league playoffs in four of the last five years.

Did you know: After having five players — Pollock, Mayo, Baddock, Irving and Kulda — selected in the 2014 NHL entry draft, the Oil Kings were shut out this year.

The prognosis: The Oil Kings are in their second season of a rebuild, but with the additions of the two Europeans and former junior A players Dillon and Kehler, will not ice an overly inexperience roster and should remain in the playoff picture all season.

Red Deer Rebels continued from Page 8 Watch for: 2016 Memorial Cup hosts to play with purpose each and every night; Fleury and Bleackley to fully emerge as stars; Nikolishin and Spacek to be among the league’s elite imports; Pratt to be among the premier 16-year-olds.

Noteworthy: Spacek was selected by the Medicine Hat Tigers in the 2014 import draft and eventually dropped. He scored five goals and collected 12 points in 40 games last season while playing in the premier men’s league in the Czech Republic.

Did you know: The Rebels had eight players attend NHL rookie camps this fall, and all eight — Fleury, Bleackley, Pederson, Nogier, Spacek, Johnson, Polei and Musil — advanced to main camps.

The prognosis: The Rebels are not in the same class as Brandon, at least on paper, but should contend for a top two to three spot in the conference and experience a decent and perhaps lengthy playoff run.

LETHBRIDGE HURRICANES Dyl an Purcell Lethbridge Herald

Last season: 20-44-5-3, sixth in Central Division, missed playoffs.

Head coach: Brent Kisio (first).

Assistant coaches: Mike Craig (third season), Josh MacNevin (first), Jeff Battah (goalies, third).

Key losses: Are there key losses after a 20-win season? If so, the trade of speedy captain F Jamal Watson (26G, 28A) might be it.

The 20-year-olds: New additions in F Corey Millette (from Seattle Thunderbirds), F Justin Gutierrez (Tri-City Americans) and D Arvin Atwal (Vancouver Giants). Millette was dealt for Watson and has the most pedigree.

The imports: Ukrainian D Igor Merezhko doesn’t look fast while flashy Russian F Egor Babenko has been a nice surprise in the pre-season.

Key returnees: F Giorgio Estephan became team’s best forward. His 23 goals and 28 assists were almost all gathered after Drake Berehowsky was fired in December. He is on a line with the unrelenting Tyler Wong and the

soft hands of Brayden Burke.

New faces: The only new face that matters to ‘Canes fans is 16-year-old F Jordy Bellerive. No one blames Bellerive for waiting to sign with the organization until after Anholt put out the tire fire it had become.

Watch for: G Stuart Skinner. The sophomore doesn’t turn 17 until November but put up an amazing rookie season in front of a team that didn’t block shots and showed little interest in gaining possession of the puck in their own zone.

Noteworthy: Community-owned Hurricanes weathered a shareholder vote to sell during the summer but that drama isn’t over. The team is broke, and if fans don’t return in big numbers, expect something to change.

Did you know: ‘Canes lost 10 consecutive games to end last season but you’d struggle to find someone who doesn’t believe better days are here.

The prognosis: It’s been a long time since the Canes were in the playoffs and their defence hasn’t proven anything. A .500 record and Anholt wouldn’t have to pick up his own tab anywhere in the city.

Ice ship defenceman Faith to Moose Jaw Taylor Rocc a

The Kootenay Ice have traded defenceman Tanner Faith (1995) to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

The conditional fifthround pick becomes a fourth-round selection in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft if the 6-foot-4, 218pound Faith remains on the roster of the Moose Jaw Warriors or any other WHL club as of the Feb. 10 roster deadline.

The trade was announced Wednesday.

“We knew coming in, with seven returning 20-year-olds, that there were going to be some difficult decisions,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Ice. “Tanner is a home-grown player -drafted originally by our hockey club -- and unfortunately his career was derailed a little bit by shoulder injuries.

“But I think there’s a huge upside. Obviously, the Minnesota Wild

thought the same thing or they wouldn’t have drafted him as they did.

“Tanner is a homegrown player... unfortunately his career was derailed a little bit by shoulder injuries...but I think there’s a huge upside.”

Jeff Chynoweth Kootenay Ice GM “From our end, this was an opportunity to guarantee [Faith] a spot to play in the Western Hockey League. I don’t think we can say that with all the 1995s that

are going to be available in the league come the 20-year-old deadline.”

WHL clubs are only permitted to carry three 20-year-old players beyond Oct. 16.

With the deletion of Faith from the roster, the Ice have six 1995-born players remaining, though two are injured and unavailable heading into Friday’s season opener against the Calgary Hitmen.

Defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky is out weekto-week with a lower-body injury suffered during pre-season play, while defenceman Tyler King is on the long-term injury list following off-season knee surgery.

He isn’t expected to suit up again until late November or December.

Though he was able to find a return on Faith, Chynoweth said he doesn’t believe the market for 20-year-old players is opening up at all.

“I have not had a lot of discussion with many teams about our 20-yearolds,” Chynoweth said. “I

A lot of them have been at NHL training camps and they’re not back yet. Secondly, [clubs] are trying to figure out where they’re at with their own team.”

Faith, a fifth-round pick (139th overall) of the Minnesota Wild at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, skated in 89 games

registering 15 points and 75 minutes in penalties with the Ice from 201011 through 2014-15.

Faith attended camp with the Wild this year, before being assigned to the WHL Sept. 21.

Over the past two seasons, shoulder injuries limited the rugged blueliner to 10 games and 19 games, respec-

tively.

A native of Wilcox, Sask., the Ice selected Faith in the second round (33rd overall) at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft.

Following the transaction, the Ice roster is reduced to 27 (three goaltenders, 10 defencemen, 14 forwards).

Wild senior girls finish first in volleyball season opener Townsman Staff

The Mount Baker Secondary School Wild senior girls’ volleyball team opened the season in roaring fashion, going undefeated en route to a first-place finish at the Brooks Composite High School Senior Volleyball Tournament this past weekend.

The cruised to a perfect 7-0 record, going undefeated through round-robin play before facing the hosts from Brooks, Alta., in the championship finale.

The Cranbrook ladies saved their best volleyball for last, cleaning up Brooks Composite in two straight sets for a gold-medal finish.

Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra dies at 90 Mike Ste wart Associated Press

NEW YORK - Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, has died. He was 90.

Berra died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.

Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a legendary Yankee who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.

Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.

His name appears almost as often in Bartlett’s Famous Quotations as it does in baseball’s record book.

Autumn is upon us, and with the change of seasons comes the fall to-do list that must be completed before the arrival of winter weather. Many outdoor jobs are best completed before temperatures drop, while others can be tackled indoors to help save energy and prepare for increased time spent inside the home.

Outdoor cleanup

Autumn means leaves are falling from trees and littering landscapes. Cleaning up leaves can be a time-consuming task, but it’s necessary to promote the health of lawns and other plants.

Grass that is completely matted down with leaves can become starved for light and moisture, and lawns may even rot when forced to spend winter beneath fallen leaves.

saver is to shred leaves with a mower (a manual mower is preferable) and leave them as topdressing for the lawn.

As long as the grass blades can be seen within the leaves, the lawn should be fine.

Shredded leaves will decompose and add necessary nutrients and organic matter to the soil naturally.

Leaves also can be used in annual flower and vegetable gardens to improve the soil. Mulch made from shredded leaves

can be placed on the soil around trees and shrubs. This helps to reduce weed problems and protects root systems from harsh temperature fluctuations.

This will make your home more efficient later on when winter hits its stride.

Remove window air conditioners for the winter. If they can’t be removed, seal them with caulking or tape and cover them with an airtight, insulated jacket. If you have forced-air systems, move furniture away from the vents so that air can flow better around the home and keep it comfortable.

Check weatherstripping around windows and doors and make the necessary adjustments. Installing additional insulation also can help reduce energy consumption.

THE TRENCH SOCIETY

Fighting Wildfires

A wildfire is an unplanned or unwanted natural or person-caused fire which requires suppression action. There are more than 2,000 wildfires in British Columbia every year. Through quick reporting and the efforts of fire crews and staff, 92 percent of all wildfires in B.C. are contained at less than four hectares (9.8 acres) in size.

Fire fighters are most successful when wildfires are discovered and reported while there are still small.

Through early detection and aggressive initial attack of wildfires, the Wildfire Management Branch is able to keep the cost of fighting wildfires to a minimum.

DETECTION:

General Public :On average, the public reports about forty percent of all wildfires, more than any other single source. Report fires tollfree to 1-800-663-5555, or *5555 on the cellular systems. Calls made to these numbers are answered by operators at the Provincial Forest Fire Reporting Centre in Victoria.

CREWS:

The Wildfire Management Branch employs over 1100 Type 1 firefighters and specialized personnel, who

are considered among the best in the world.

Type 1 crews consist of highly trained, skilled firefighters and must be employees of a government agency such as the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch or another formally recognized jurisdiction.

This employee requirement is necessary to ensure the government’s liability and needs are covered during extreme incidents such as interface fires. They are the first on-scene at a wildfire and deployed rapidly to all types of situations, regardless of the state of control or the fire class intensity. They are used in the most hazardous or complex conditions involving steep, difficult terrain, and extreme fire behaviour (Rank 3 or higher).

A coalition of hunting, ranching, environmental and wildlife groups working with the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program to restore grasslands and open forests in the East Kootenay and Upper Columbia Valley.

Military policy a battleground TOM FLE TCHER Black Press

A rundown navy, aging fighter jets and closing of dedicated Veterans’ Affairs offices are playing a central role in the campaign for the Oct. 19 federal election.

The Conservative government has been in a running battle with the Public Service Alliance of Canada over the closure of nine regional Veterans Affairs offices, including those in Prince George and Kelowna. The union ran TV ads with veterans describing difficulty getting mental and physical health support.

Veterans’ Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole wrote to PSAC national president Robyn Benson in July, calling the ads “intentionally misleading.” He said the government is opening 27 dedicated mental health clinics, training staff on veterans programs in integrated Ser-

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair promises to reopen the nine dedicated offices, and add $454

million over four years to Veterans Affairs. The NDP says the money would go to improving long-term care, survivor pensions, mental health treatment and expansion of the program to support veterans in

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has announced that if he becomes prime minister, he will pull Canada out of the development of the U.S.-led F-35 fighter project, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns. Trudeau said the F-35’s stealth, first-strike abilities are not what Canada needs, and other fighters would serve Canada’s purposes at lower cost.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper noted it was the previous Liberal government that committed Canada to join Australia, Britain and other countries in supporting the F-35, and withdrawing would be a severe blow to the country’s aerospace industry.

With six of the Royal Canadian Airforce’s 30-year-old CF-18 fighter-bombers taking part in a U.S.-led mission against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria,

the Liberals and NDP are calling for Canada to focus on humanitarian relief instead of combat.

The Royal Canadian Navy, another traditional name restored by the Conservatives, is awaiting new ships from the Conservatives’ $26 billion shipbuilding program, Canada’s largest ever. Some contracts have been awarded to Seaspan, B.C.’s largest shipyard, which is also building new research vessels for Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only West Coast supply ship, was decommissioned after a 2014 fire off Hawaii. Protecteur was built in Halifax 46 years ago, and is being temporarily replaced by a former U.S. Navy ship on loan from Chile. Replacements for Protecteur and its East Coast equivalent HMCS Provider, also retired, are expected to take six more years.

Supermoon plus total lunar eclipse equals rare sky show MARCIA DUNN Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Get ready for a rare double feature this weekend, starring our very own moon.

A total lunar eclipse will share the stage with a socalled supermoon Sunday night or early Monday, depending where you are. That combination hasn’t been seen since 1982 and won’t happen again until 2033.

When a full or new moon makes its closest approach to Earth, that’s a supermoon.

Although still about 220,000 miles away, this full moon will look bigger and brighter than usual.

In fact, it will be the clos-

est full moon of the year, about 30,000 miles closer than the average distance.

(The moon’s orbit is far from a perfect circle.)

NASA planetary scientist Noah Petro is hoping the celestial event will ignite more interest in the moon. He is deputy project for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, which has been studying the moon from lunar orbit since 2009.

“The moon’s a dynamic place,” Petro said Wednesday. “We’re seeing changes on the surface of the moon from LRO. We’re seeing that it’s not this static dead body in the sky ... it’s this great astronomical object that we

have in our backyard, essentially. So people should get out and start looking at it.”

Many stargazers, professional and amateur alike, dislike the term “supermoon,” noting the visible difference between a moon and supermoon is slight to all but the most faithful observers.

“It’s not like the difference between an ordinary man and Superman,” said Alan MacRobert, a senior editor at Sky & Telescope magazine.

“It really ought to be called a tiny, slightly little bit bigger moon, rather than the supermoon.”

The full eclipse of the moon will last more than an hour and be visible, weather

permitting, from North and South America, Europe, Africa and western Asia. Showtime on the U.S. East Coast is 10:11 p.m. EDT (8:11 MST); that’s when the moon, Earth and sun will be lined up, with Earth’s shadow totally obscuring the moon.

There won’t be another total lunar eclipse until 2018.

This weekend’s eclipse marks the end of a tetrad, or series of four total lunar eclipses set six months apart.

This series began in April 2014.

The 21st century will see eight of these tetrads, an uncommonly good run. From 1600 to 1900, there were none.

Suspect in Blairmore murders has case put over one week CANADIAN PRESS

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. The case of a man accused of murdering a father and his young daughter in a southern Alberta mountain community has been put over to next week.

Derek James Saretzky didn’t even appear in a Lethbridge court as the matter was quickly adjourned to Sept. 30.

Saretzky, who is 22, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Terry Blanchette, 27, and twoyear-old Hailey.

Hailey’s body was found last week in a rural area near Blairmore, a day after her father was discovered

dead in their home in town.

An Amber Alert was issued across Western Canada and Montana after the man’s body was found and authorities undertook a extensive search with the hope of finding the youngster alive.

Blanchette and the girl’s mother, 20-yearold Cheyenne Dunbar, were separated, but the two maintained a good relationship and both cared for Hailey.

Saretzky was known to both Blanchette and Dunbar, but authorities have not disclosed why they believe the father and his daughter were killed.

Want to Know How to Make God Laugh?

CCT’s dramatic season — with a family theme — kicks off with moving, madcap comedy Oct. 9.

There’s no place like home for the holidays.

Families gather to feast, laugh, visit and enjoy each others company.

In a perfect world everyone gets along and things run as smoothly as an old episode of the Waltons.

But … in the real world, life doesn’t always work out that way.

This October 9, the Cranbrook Community Theatre launches its family-themed season with the comedy “Making God Laugh” by Sean Grennan.

Directed by Trevor Lundy, the play follows empty-nesters Ruthie and Bill and their grown children through the course of more than three decades of family gatherings.

Overbearing and manipulative Ruthie, played beautifully by veteran performer Melodie Hull manages each holiday with precision, making sure all of the family traditions are adhered to.

Bill, her long suffering and patient spouse is played with aplomb by newcomer Michael Prestwich.

Together they decorate and prep for the gatherings, awkwardly attempting to understand and to parent their grown children.

At times madcap with lots of nostalgic humor thrown in, “Making God Laugh” looks back on the trends of the 1980s, ‘90s and into the

They show up to each event resplendent in the fads of the day, sharing big dreams and lofty goals with the family.

And as the decades pass the show’s title begins to make sense. As the saying goes, if you want to make God laugh, you tell Him your plans.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way they hope, and as each holiday comes and goes the audience gets a clearer

understanding of the relationships between the characters.

Funny, moving and madcap at times, Making God Laugh is certain to entertain. Featuring a cast made up entirely of talent new to the Cranbrook Community Theatre, with the notable exception of Melodie Hull, “Making God Laugh” brings a fresh and new energy to this first performance of the new season.

The show runs Oct. 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24 at the Studio/ Stage Door, Showtime 8 pm.

The Beatles last photo shoot.

On stage with the Rolling Stones, 1969

ethanrussell.com

Russell captured iconic images of the rock era Continued from page 1 Russell described his early self as “a kid in San Francisco totally immersed in what music was.

“For me it goes back to Elvis. The reality is, my experience with Elvis and ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ as a wonderful revelation is exactly the same experience that Paul McCartney had, that Keith Richards had, that Mick Jagger had, that they all had because they’re all just sitting in England wondering what they’re going to do. And Elvis comes over the air  

  

waves and changes everybody’s life.”

Russell says you can’t tell the story of the ‘60s and 70s without really looking at that early American rock and roll.

As an example: “I was on the set with the Beatles for the making of ‘Get Back’ — when they weren’t figuring out what songs of their own they were going to play, they would inevitably break into something that was like an American rock and roll song — Chuck Berry, Route 66 …’

That’s how much that meant to everybody.”

The real, “hardcore narrative” of Russell’s

story picks up circa 1967.

“I’m an ordinary English student at the University of California, a huge Dylan fan — rock is changing, Dylan is changing it, and the Beatles come along and change it, and suddenly everything that seems worthwhile getting involved with is about music.”

Russell’s original vocation was to be a writer (he has since written three books — “trying to figure out what was going on with my generation”), but the lure of rock and roll compelled him to hop a plane and fly to En-

gland. “That was the mecca of everything as far as I could tell from San Francisco.”

Russell fell in love with England, and stayed. “I was living by myself in a flat,” he said, “and I wanted to be a writer, but eight months later I’m photographing the Beatles, totally out of the blue. So that’s that story.”

The rest of Russell’s show is “Travels with Ethan.”

“It’s the Rolling Stones ‘69 tour, the ‘72 tour, the Beatles ‘Get Back,’ Beatles on the roof (of their offices in Savile Row, playing together for the last time),

Beatles last photo session, ‘Who’s Next,’ through coming back to America doing the ‘72 tour with the Stones, ‘Quadrophrenia’ [The Who], more or less inventing music video — and the show ends in 1980, because at the that point I had become a director. And I’m doing film with John and Yoko in New York.”

There are many who would argue that the 1960s were as significant an era as the Renaissance. An era that through art, music, political change and social restiveness pushed the world forward.

“There was no question that we thought we were going to change the world,” Russell said.

“There was no question that the world was changing. Those two things were just visible at the time.”

Even so, at the time Russell didn’t see himself at the crest of an historical wave.

“I consciously had the feeling that what I was doing was so impossible, for this kid that didn’t know anybody in England to get on a plane, and then for 15 years being at the absolute centre of all this stuff. I couldn’t have told you at the time what my intentions were. But you couldn’t be working with those people and not know you were at the centre of that particular universe.”

Russell’s own journey led him onto a variety of careers in the business and in media, until the early 2000s, when he found himself with a young family.

Pondering a new family-friendly career, he found everything so far kept coming back to those photographs.

“I just decided then, sort of late in life, that I would exhibit,” he said.

And then he saw the era he had documented from the inside from a different perspective.

ethanrussell.com

Linda Ronstadt in make-up for ‘Prisoner in Disguise.’

“When I did my first show, it wasn’t until that point that it looked to me like a slice of history.”

So much has changed in the decades since — not least the optimism and spirit of cultural revolution represented by the ‘60s.

The Sixties obviously changed attitudes towards individual freedom and culture, Russell said. But two things happened to set the whole movement back, Russell says — the Vietnam War, and a backlash against the radical look and behavior of the “the hippies” from an “embedded conservative demographic,” creating a unbridgeable divide in the American public.

“Drugs also really hurt my generation,” Russell added. “A lot of people died. That was a self-inflicted wound.

“In my opinion, the result of all the television and cultural division that TV set into play is that people don’t really know about the 1960s. It has been turned into a bad cartoon, in America certainly. It’s a very trivialized history. If you buy the idea that history can be captured as it happens, it’s the first history that was basi-

cally told through television.”

The art, the media, and the access have also changed profoundly. There are no more photographers in among the bands, like Russell was. Artists, politicians, even activists are in much tighter control of what we see of them. What we see and understand is what they want they want us to. When it comes to documenting the personalities that influence the times, we don’t see the history anymore.

We see the advertising.

“It’s not the media that’s changed so much as it is the management,” Russell said. “It became about money.”

Russell offers a pair of stories to illustrate his point.

“In 1968, I got a call on my phone from John Lennon, not his manager or lawyer or publicist. And he said ‘do you want to come down take some pictures.’ I got to his house, there was no security. And John and Yoko came down and we took some pictures — some lovely pictures that are in the show, of basically them falling in love.

Very touching pictures.

And I went home.

Photographing the Doors in London

Ethan Russell Continued from page 24

“In 1990-something, I got hired by a group which will remain nameless — a supergroup package. And I wanted to listen to the music — something I’d been doing with every group I’d worked for over the years, so I could figure out the kind of work that made sense. And they wouldn’t send me the music, I had to fly down and sit in a conference room in Century City with a person in the room with me so I couldn’t walk out with the tape. Put those two images together, and you get the picture.”

This is one of the reason’s Russell doesn’t work in the medium anymore.

“There’s the obvious loss of the opportunity, and there’s the obvious commercialization and productification of the music.

“It was with Linda Ronstadt in the late ‘70s that I first heard music referred to as product. It was at that point that the kind of photography I was doing was getting to be product photography, because I was doing album covers. And I didn’t like it.”

Nonetheless, the images and experiences captured by Ethan Russell during a vital era remain among the landmarks of that history. That sense of history and cultural change is captured in his books, and writ large in his photographs.

“The show is the ride,” Russell said. “I wrote the book, I did my due diligence about trying to make sense out of my entire generation. And by the time the show had to be written, and I had to figure out what that was, I just decided to do what everybody always wanted, which is what it was like to be on that ride.”

“A

bout a year and a half ago, I was recommended to play drums with Jeremy Fisher’s band from a mutual friend,” says Ryan Granville-Martin, originally from Cranbrook, who has spent the past 20 years of his musical career hobnobbing with Canada’s musical elite in the heart of Toronto’s national-central scene.

“Jeremy needed a good drummer who could sing strong harmonies, and our mutual friend said: ‘I know just the guy!’ So I got a cold call out of the blue from Jeremy.”

Ryan performs live with Jeremy Fisher at the Studio Stage Door Theatre on the evening of Monday, Sept. 28, “We clicked right away,” says Granville-Martin. “Jeremy’s a sweetheart of a guy.

Really easy to hang with and work with. A really good communicator. Really easy, right off the bat. That isn’t always the case when you’re a journeyman musician and a hired gun. Jeremy gave me his records, and a set list to learn for the tour, and recordings of the specific harmonies he wanted me to sing; he was pretty specific with how he wanted his songs to flow, but when we were rehearsing he was never picky about me doing something exactly this way or that

Granville-Martin helps kick off Cranbrook Live Concert series way.

Every once in awhile he would suggestion, and certain songs were learned differently for a live presentation as opposed to how they appeared on record. You have to adapt to that live arrangement. I brought in some of my own ideas, and he was pretty open to that.”

A drumming prodigy from his early teens, Ryan Granville-Martin not only excelled in the MBSS Jazz Band, but also swiftly nailed his name into the pages of Grunge-era Cranbrook garage rock by combining heavy-metal technical chops and sophisticated jazz-fusion/progressive-rock savvy (projected with his devil-may-care aplomb). Following a stint at music school in Edmonton, he soon aweighed anchor for Toronto. His musical compatriots in Hogtown include author-musician Dave Bidini, singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, and producer Michael-Philip Wojewoda, among many

“We’re touring as a trio with (former Weakerthans bassist) Greg Smith,” says Granville-Martin.

“I’ve played with Greg before

when we were the touring rhythm section for (former Rheostatics lead guitarist) Martin Tielli.”

Granville-Martin’s many musical irons in the Toronto

fire include occasional stints in a highly enjoyable Classic Albums Live band. “I’m doing a few ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ shows in November for all the Pink Floyd fans,” he

explains, “as well as Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours,’ and I have to learn the ‘Sundown’ album when we play in Gordon Lightfoot’s hometown of Orillia!”

Album production holds a special place in his musical passions, though. “I just finished co-producing a really interesting record with Jessica Stewart. This fall I’ll also be focused on writing another record of my own.”

Granville-Martin is also swinging into the bustling Toronto world of film-making; his supporting-cast appearance in Phillip Barker’s avant-garde short film “Malody” saw him strutting the red carpet at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

“I stumbled into acting by accident,” Ryan admits.

“When you’re trying to make a living as a musician you have to stick your thumb into a number of pies. I did some work as an extra; I played the wedding drummer in the background scene of a movie or something like that. I ended up getting an agent and auditioned for TV commercials.

But I got tired of that world, since I wasn’t putting everything I had into it. It wasn’t panning out.

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.

“Power in the Blood” named the best Canadian record of the past year.

Buffy Sainte-Marie wins Polaris Prize C anadian Press

TORONTO - Buffy Sainte-Marie picked up a Polaris Music Prize on Monday night, Sept. 21, to add to her already crowded trophy case and praised the award’s organizers for cutting her a big cheque.

A jury of 11 music critics, bloggers and broadcasters named the album “Power in the Blood” the best Canadian record of the past year.

The folk icon beat out nine other finalists for the award, which comes with a $50,000 prize, including rap superstar Drake, former Polaris winner Caribou and Toronto rockers Alvvays.

In accepting the award, Sainte-Marie said the cash prize is an appreciated reward for musicians who are struggling to finance their careers.

“I’ve got an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, a couple of Junos and a Gemini Award - this is the only one I ever heard that gives the artist money.

It’s real important, it’s becoming almost impossible for an artist to tour with a band and with instruments,”

the 74-year-old musician said.

“It is a fact that it’s getting so hard to travel now.”

Sainte-Marie called on the industry executives in attendance at the award show to help young musicians get experience with gigs that require travel.

“I’m asking the music community to please put your heads into that and figure out a way so that not only the arts, but also sports, can be supported, so we can afford to go on the road and bring our music to you.”

The show, which was hosted by Juno-winning children’s entertainer Fred Penner, featured performances from some of the Polaris finalists.

The other musical acts on the short list were BadBadNotGood (who collaborated with Ghostface Killah), Braids, Jennifer Castle, Tobias Jesso Jr., the New Pornographers and Viet Cong - who are in the midst of a rebrand after critics claimed their band name was culturally insensitive.

Last year’s winner was Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq for “Animism.”

RGM returns to SSD Continued from page 26 “But I ended up developing a relationship with Phillip Barker from doing a film with him a few years ago, and he asked if I’d do another one! So it’s not really a world that I feel too much a part of, but I certainly enjoy it through working with him.”

And given Ryan’s early musical influence (and maintained die-hard love) for the great British heavy-metal legends Iron Maiden, it should come as no surprise that he and his partner Mia Sheard (herself a notable singer-songwriter) find the tongue-incheek time to perform around Toronto in their Iron Maiden tribute Copper Lassie ...where they rearrange Maiden classics like “Run to the Hills,” “The Trooper,” “Aces High,” and “Wasted Years” into acoustic country format:

banjo, fiddle, upright bass, dobro, the works.

After being a Torontonian for over two decades now, Granville-Martin still finds himself galvanized by his musical surroundings, and living in the eye of Canada’s artistic hurricane.

“It’s always a bit complex. It’s not an easy way to make a living, let’s be straight. The professional landscape is always changing. But I’m certainly in the best place in the country to be giving it the old college try. There’s a lot going on here, for sure. I don’t see me leaving here anytime soon.”

Non-Profits are invited to seek organizational development support

New CBT program to strengthen non-profits Submit ted

Non-profit organizations that need help with organizational development can now access Columbia Basin Trust’s new Non-profit Support Program.

This program offers Basin non-profits a new approach to help increase capacity, become more sustainable and become more efficient.

“Non-profit organizations are vital to our well-being in the Basin—from providing activities for our children, to helping care for our seniors, to protecting our environment,” said Lisa Kilpat-

rick, Columbia Basin Trust Director, Senior Manager, Delivery of Benefits. “This new program helps a non-profit of any size or sector strengthen its internal structure, giving it the foundation it needs to be able to focus on its primary purpose.”

The program offers expertise in areas like planning and direction, human resources, financial management, governance and community relationships. In addition to providing information resources, the program can connect the non-profit with an advisor who will assess the organiza-

tion and provide recommendations. Where the advisor determines additional specialized consulting support is needed, the program may subsidize those services.

Eligibility is open to all Basin-based and registered non-profit organizations that actively deliver programs that support broad public good (not programs that primarily benefit membership) in the Columbia Basin region.

For more information, visit cbt.org/nonprofits or call 1.800.505.8998.

Handcrafted Creations

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Ideas seem to pop up left and right. Before you realize it, a work-related matter could arise that demands your attention.

You might want to take on a stress-reducing hobby or activity as well; you will be better for it in the long run. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your skills allow you to manage what others can’t. As a result, you’ll have your hands full.

Start a brainstorming session.

You could hear some extremely assertive ideas. Diplomacy is a must, even if you want to shut down another person’s conversation. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You have a lot to share. The unexpected might force you to look at the big picture. A friend could surprise you with his or her antics. Stay focused on what is important.

Tonight: Where your friends are

is where you want to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have a tendency to allow a partner or loved one make important decisions. You also tend to overthink a problem until you are confused. You might be too assertive in a conversation, and your temper could flare. Be careful when handling machinery. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others. You could feel put off by different people and happenings. Notice that you could be suppressing your feelings without realizing it. Try not to do damage to yourself.

Instead, decide to release your feelings sooner. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not know which way to turn. Don’t take your frustration out on others, or you will have an unpredictable situation. Your fuse could be shorter than usual. Try to get more exercise; otherwise, you will be volatile. Tonight: You’ll witness an emotional reversal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Allow more impulsiveness to emerge, especially when dealing with a new friend. Pressure could build around a domestic matter. Try not to distance yourself -- hang in there! Be aware of anger building as well. Go for a walk. Tonight: Time to plan for the weekend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home. You probably will feel as if you need to pull away from some difficult situations. You will handle them on your time and with wisdom.

A walk will help you relax. An older person admires the way you are dealing with a problem.

Tonight: Make it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be dealing with more than your fair share. Go along with a spontaneous idea that might open more doors than you had anticipated. Be careful with a boss who could be on the warpath. Don’t worry. You know how to bypass a problem.

Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be wondering what to do. A power play is likely to

occur with someone who is very intellectual yet demanding. A personal issue could present a problem. News that comes in from a distance could anger or upset you. Tonight: Be careful with spending.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be pushing too hard to have someone acknowledge you. Don’t worry so much. You need to please yourself first. An unexpected happening will put a smile on your face. Enjoy the excitement. Be careful not to step on anyone’s toes. Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time. You might feel as if someone is pushing you too hard. Be careful, because as you will discover in the next few weeks, many of your friends, close associates and loved ones seem to be much more irritable than usual. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was severely abused, physically and emotionally, when I was growing up, mostly by my mother and older sister. After many years of therapy, I have turned my life around and finally am able to feel like a worthwhile person.

The trouble is, my older sister continues to be verbally abusive every time we get together, which, fortunately, is not too often. I recently bit the bullet and tried again, getting together with her and my two other sisters. Sure enough, “Betty” took the opportunity to taunt and yell at me, and ended up swinging her fists at me. This resulted in a PTSD episode for me.

I’ve finally decided to have nothing further to do with Betty, but it leaves me with feelings of guilt, since she is my sister. Am I justified in cutting off our relationship? -- Tired of Being Abused Dear Tired: Yes. Your abusive mother obviously left Betty with some anger issues of her own, but being related to someone doesn’t mean you have to put up with abuse. Ever. You were wise to get therapy so that you could improve your life. It might help to ask your therapist to work on developing coping strategies for situations that could be triggers for you. Overcoming abuse can be an ongoing process.

Dear Annie: My 22-year-old son frequently has his buddies drop over for a visit. Sometimes I’m a captive audience to their conversations. These guys (and sometimes gals) don’t seem to understand that they should show some respect in their conversation due to the age difference between us.

I realize that they frequently use vulgar language when in the company of their peers, but am I out of line asking them to curtail their potty mouths in my presence?

Not only does it annoy and sometimes embarrass me, but also it makes them sound like illiterate heathens. I guess they’re not out to impress. -- Annoyed Mother Dear Annoyed: Some parents would find it flattering that their children’s friends feel comfortable enough around them to speak freely. But you are right that it is also disrespectful, treating you as though your sensitivities don’t matter. It is OK for you to say, “Your language is making me blush. I would appreciate it if you would keep it under control.” Or you can speak to your son and ask him to tell his friends that they need to be more careful in your presence.

But you also do not need to be in the room when they are visiting. If your son lives with you, then he should be able to invite his friends over without his mother listening to the conversation. In fact, their vulgar language may be their way of getting you to leave the room.

Unless you are willing to tell your son that his friends are not welcome, we suggest you absent yourself as much as possible, even if it means taking a long walk or going out to a movie. It also might be time to encourage your son to find a place of his own.

1935 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015

The family of

Lucas Powell

would like to offer a sincere thank you to all our friends and family for all the love and support during this difficult time. All the cards, food, flowers, calls, visits, donations and prayers.

Your kindness and generosity is overwhelming.

A special thank you to Pastors Ray and Marilyn Green and the Pentecostal Church for the beautiful service.

And the ladies who supplied the luncheon.

Lucas was a beautiful soul gone too soon. We will always remember his bright light and smile.

Thank You and God Bless.

Fred, the beloved bartender at the Marysville Pub who was known for his quick smile and the twinkle in his eyes, passed away peacefully in Kimberley on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at 79 years of age.

Fred was born on November 4, 1935 in Cranbrook. He loved spending time at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake with friends and kept active playing in his dart league, playing shuffleboard and bowling.

Fred is survived by his brother Barry (Cherrill) Holden, his daughters Terry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor (Dennis) and her children Michael and Tyler, and Tammy Mowat (Ed) and her children Cassandra and Levi, his son Lance (Christine) Holden and many nieces, nephews and extended family.

He was predeceased by his parents Marshall and Laura Holden, his brother Jim Holden and his sister Mae Vold.

A memorial service for Fred will be held at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

A key leadership role within the Steam & Recovery Department for an experienced Power Engineer Ensuring safe, efficient and environmentally compliant operations, you will supervise both operating and maintenance functions for the Steam Plant— from power and recovery, to mill water supply and effluent and energy systems.

Along with annual and long-term budgeting, you'll also be responsible for maintaining and upgrading policies and procedures as well as planning and executing mill and departmental outages.

Ideally, you have supported your valid BC or IP First Class Power Engineering certificate with over 12 years' directly related experience and 10 or more years in a leadership role within pulp and/or paper operations. You're also equipped with the communication, analytical and problem-solving skills needed to lead others and effectively respond to continually changing business conditions.

In one of two available positions, you will apply your knowledge of pulp mill processes/equipment, and either mechanical trades or electrical/ instrumentation (E/I) trades, to supervise multi-trade crews engaged in maintenance and project work. With safety as a first priority, you will also plan, schedule, co-ordinate and monitor all aspects of regular maintenance activities.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

The direct operating debt is on track to be eliminated by 2019-20, which will mark the first time BC will have had no direct operating debt in more than 40 years.

We’re not going to burden our children with our debt and we’ll be able to look at ways to reduce taxes and invest in programs and services while living within our means.

NEWS Local politicians split over environmental ‘rights’ Tom Fletcher Black Press

Over vocal objections from some representa-

tives, local politicians have narrowly endorsed a call for an “environmental bill of rights” for

B.C. at their annual convention.

Calling it “an idea whose time has come,”

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves sponsored the motion Wednesday at the Union of B.C. Mu-

nicipalities convention in Vancouver. It calls for recognition of a right to “live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.”

Steves reminded delegates of a summer of smoke from forest fires and a drought that saw his Cache Creek farm run out of water. He noted the bill of rights has been supported by 36 municipalities around B.C., after a tour of local councils by the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot campaign.

The idea was quickly challenged.

“How is this resolution going to prevent forest fires and create clean air?” North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring asked.

“It’s not.”

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb dismissed the bill of rights movement as “David Suzuki propaganda” backed by urban people who don’t understand that mining and forestry provide the lumber, copper and other products that build their homes and communities.

Cobb said it already takes years of environmental review before resource extraction can be approved, “and if this passes, it will be another nail in the coffin of rural B.C.” Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz urged support for the bill of rights, arguing it would “raise our consciousness.” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps quoted from a presentation to council by an 11-year-old boy and joined other delegates in calling for the resolution to support future generations.

Coquitlam Coun.

Terry O’Neill listed a dozen provincial laws governing clean water, air pollution, public health and food safety, calling on the convention to focus on specific measures instead of asserting rights that are actually “a demand for others to do something for you.”

Nanaimo Regional District director Julian Fell agreed, saying four of the six rights proposed to his board are actually “entitlements.”

He called for the UBCM to declare that water and air should be legally guaranteed to remain public assets.

The consequences of actions in the past Anastasia Bartlet t

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about society’s sins of the past. In Canada, we have our issue of the residential schools.

There are those who want to apologize, who want to reconcile while there are others who don’t. They say, ‘our generation didn’t do anything so why are we responsible?’ They want the past to be the past, ‘forget about it and let’s get on with our lives’.

I’ve heard similar arguments regarding Nazis atrocities and the slavery issue in the States. There are even those who would rewrite history leaving out the unpleasant bits since “we don’t do that anymore, so why dwell on the past?”

Revisionist history is becoming “a thing” and is gaining popularity among some politicians and educators. They want to put the past behind them, to start afresh, but they don’t seem to realize it’s the past which has made our present and it no

longer our ancestors but we who have to deal with the consequences.

Actions in the past are not isolated. Just like a stone splashed into a pond, past actions create ripples in time, affecting the lives of all subsequent generations.

2 Samuel 11 and 12, tells the story of David, a righteous man, who gave into the passion of lust (splash) resulting in an unwanted pregnancy. He tried to cover his sin, by calling Uriah home from the battle hoping he would sleep with his wife, Bathsheba. But Uriah was an honourable man who didn’t believe he should enjoy the pleasures of his wife while his comrades were still at the front. So David directed his general, Joab, to ensure Uriah’s death in battle (splash). In order to comply with David’s orders, Joab, sent Uriah on a suicide raid, resulting in, not just Uriah’s death, but the unnecessary deaths of his fellow-soldiers as well.

Like they did King David, consequences for our actions will pursue us When Nathan the prophet told David the story of the rich man stealing the poor man’s one lamb, David was angered and declared the rich man should die, in essence, pronouncing judgement upon himself. When Nathan told David he was the rich man in the story, David was immediately repentant and asked

forgiveness.

God mitigated the consequences of David’s sin by allowing him to live but declared because David had Uriah killed by the sword then the sword will divide his own family and the child born of his actions would die.

2 Samuel tells us the consequences of David’s sin. David’s son,

Amnon, raped his half-sister. Brother rose up against brother, and eventually, son against father which in turn led to civil war where many died. These people were not guilty of David’s sin but they lived with the consequences.

The Orthodox Church believe people are not born carrying the guilt of Adam’s sin

but rather we are all born into a sinful world, a consequence of Adam’s sin. When Adam disobeyed God (splash), his sin created ripples which damaged all subsequent generations’ relationships with each other, with creation and with God Himself.

In my own little environment I can add to these ripples when I sin; when I type a response to the “idiot” who wrote something on Facebook or belittle someone behind their back or repeat gossip.

The big ripples are hatred, wars, and atrocities. But my little ripples contribute and can join with other little ripples becoming bigger and resulting in consequences I could never foresee or even want.

Ripples join and become waves until the world is in constant turmoil and strife like the surface of the sea in a storm.

When we remember and acknowledge the sins of society’s past, when we repent for our

ancestors and apologize for their actions these, too, will create ripples.

But these may cancel some of the original.

These ripples may be the ones which calm some part of the stormtossed water allowing healing and reconciliation.

Philosopher George Santanya said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Winston Churchill bemoaned the fruitless repetition of those who refused to learn from history.

Scriptures teach us, we reap what we sow; as a society and as individuals.

Let us repent of past evils and sow love for our children to reap.
