Stuck in a swamp of regulations Idlewild Lake project at a stand-still TRE VOR CR AWLEY

As the seasons turn from summer to fall and look ahead to winter, the situation at Idlewild Lake remains in stasis as the city struggles to work towards a solution to fix the dam.

Idlewild Lake, which has been partially drained in order to relieve

stress on the dam prior to its decommissioning, has been a point of concern for Cranbrook residents worried about the draw down effect on the ecosystem. The lake is home to Western Painted Turtles and serves as nesting grounds for migratory birds and other aquatic and amphibious life.

However, reinforcing the dam and restoring the lake back to what it was is proving to be a daunting challenge, according to Eric Sharpe, the Director of Engineering and Development Services.

“The whole drawdown was strictly an interim measure to satisfy [provincial regulations] while we jump through all these other hoops, and now it looks like it’s going to be

a very lengthy process as far as fish, turtles and birds, and anything else that may crop up,” Sharpe said.

“We’re just in a wait-and-see mode right now. We’ve got an application in for funding from the other two levels of government, but as of today we haven’t really heard anything — so everything is kind of on hold.”

Sharpe said the City has received

permits for the fish work that needs to be done, but that work will not end up being done this year. “One, we’re outside of the fish window now and two, it’s just doesn’t make any sense at this stage, really not knowing how things are going to proceed.”

A mining company has entered into an agreement with Tembec to purchase 38 hectares of property containing the old Cranbrook mill site in the industrial park.

MGX Minerals Inc. paid $3.7 million for the land, and the deal should be official on or by Dec. 15.

The company is currently in discussions regarding mortgage and equity financing as well as leasing unused portions of the land and sale of unused equipment.

Jared Lazerson, CEO of MGX Minerals Inc. said the property and available infrastructure was too good to pass up, considering the proximity of the company’s mining operations in the East Kootenay.

12-Year-old Cranbrook student develops a tumor in her spine

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

A Grade 7 student from Laurie Middle School was taken to the Alberta Children’s Hospitals on September 24.

Brooklyn, a bright plucky 12-yearold was one day playing and running like most children her age, and then last week one morning woke up paralyzed from the chest down.

Brooklyn is still in the hospital with her family and facing the fears that she has only a 25 per cent chance of walking again. This brave young girl as of Tuesday asked her doctors to take her off the pain medication.

Surgery was performed last week to remove the tumor, and doctors are monitoring her condtition and recovery.

Brooklyn’s family will have to deal with financial issues, including rehabilitation, travel and medical equipment for their daughter including the possibilities of an electric wheelchair.

Friends of the family have gotten together and formed a Gofund Me account for Brooklyn, which can be accessed at www.gofundme.com/kx577gd4.

Dani Williams, owner of Dewey’s Pub, has partnered with her friends to do a fundraiser this Friday, October 2, at the pub — Dani’s daughter is the same age as Brooklyn and all good friends. Koko Beach staff will be celebrity waitressing/bartending and

12-year-old Brooklyn

will be donating a portion of their sales and tips to the fundraiser. Volunteers will be hosting a silent auction, and Jeremy Christianson has offered to be the DJ for this fundraising event.

The fundraiser and silent auction will commence at 6 pm to 9 pm. Anyone wishing to help out the family with either a donation or a prize for the silent auction can contact Christy Wheeldon at 250-489-3910.

The aim of the fundraiser is to take the financial pressure of the family so they can focus their love and efforts for Brooklyn and get her back home to Cranbrook on her own feet.

Candidates tangle at Kimberley debate Taylor Rocca

With the 42nd federal election fast approaching, residents of Kimberley were given an opportunity to listen in on major election issues and the stances of all four candidates in the riding of Kootenay-Columbia on Wednesday as the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce hosted an all-candidates forum at Centre 64.

Bill Green (Green Party), Don Johnston (Liberal Party), Wayne Stetski (NDP) and incumbent David Wilks (Conservative Party of Canada) were all in attendance Wednesday night, fielding 13 questions in a forum moderated by Tom Ross.

Candidates were provided with the questions immediately before the forum.

The question period was bookended by opening and closing remarks from each candidate. There was no open question period for the approximately 150 people in attendance.

The 13 questions selected came from a pool of questions submitted to the chamber from members of the voting public.

With the City of Kimberley accepting business applications for three new medical marijuana dispensaries, this was a particularly local issue early on in the proceedings.

“First of all, I think the federal government has dropped the ball on this one,” Wilks said. “That’s why we are where we are. I’m the first to admit that and I see the problems we have.”

Wilks believes municipalities should not be granting business licenses to medicinal marijuana dispensaries and the issue should be addressed by the federal government.

Stetski first took the opportunity to make it clear the NDP are in favour of decriminalizing marijuana for recreational use before describing a partnership between federal and municipal levels to oversee successful implementation of medicinal marijuana dispensaries.

“We believe that if we legalize it, regulate it and tax it, there will be huge

benefits,” Johnston said of the marijuana issue.

“We’re seeing this happening in Colorado, in Oregon, in Washington, in Alaska -- we have lots of working examples to use date from to move on with this.”

Johnston stressed researching the elements of the drug and then educating citizens using that information.

Green congratulated the City of Kimberley on a “forward-looking step” before stating the Green Party will legalize recreational marijuana and, like the Liberals, research and educate citizens. On the medicinal side of the equation, Green said there should be no long-term need for medical marijuana dispensaries should the drug be made available through the already regulated health care and pharmaceutical system.

When it came to educational policies, Green and the Green Party stance had the strongest in position presented.

“This isn’t a situation we can tinker with,” Green said. “The fastest-growing economies in the world have free tuition. It doesn’t matter whether it’s skills training, colleges, apprenticeships – you name it. Why don’t we have free tuition in this day and age when post-secondary education is fundamentally important to progress in the job market?”

The Green Party will phase in free post-secondary tuition over the next five years, with costs being covered by a restoration of corporate tax rates from 15 per cent to 19 per cent.

Wilks focused on a lack of skilled trades workers in Canada.

Stetski discussed reducing the costs of post-secondary education.

Johnston touched on the distribution of educational facilities so students don’t have to travel as far to obtain the education they seek.

A trio of questions through the mid-portion of the forum touched on environmental issues revolving around the decline in freedom of scientists, climate change and investment in future clean technologies, such as Kimberley’s Sun Mine

project.

With vote-splitting and electoral reform popping up as a hot-button topic throughout this extended campaign period, the topic of firstpast-the-post and proportional representation was addressed by each candidate.

Johnston and the Liberals promised implementation of proportional representation at the polls as soon as 18 months after Oct. 19.

Green and the Greens went a step further, promising the same, but within a 12-month period.

Stetski said the NDP favour proportional representation, but gave no timeline for implementation. Green eventually questioned the NDP’s commitment electoral reform.

Citing the failure of the implementation of similar electoral reform at the provincial level, Wilks said the Conservative Party is committed to the current system of first-past-the-post elections.

In closing, each candidate provided their own strong remarks for those in attendance.

A selection of closing remarks from each candidate, in speaking order: Don Johnston “The world is a very different place than it used to be and we are losing Canadians at the polls,” Johnston said.

“We’re really losing young Canadians because don’t believe their vote counts. We have got to address that. It’s one of the biggest threats to our democracy.

We need to redress that and we need to redress it quickly.”

Wayne Stetski “I described myself as a fiscally-responsible, liberal-minded, green NDPer,” Stetski said, which drew laughs from the crowd. “Those are the values I have. If you’ve been listening to three progressive parties tonight – the Green

Party, the Liberal Party and the NDP – we have a lot of similar goals but we’re going to get there in a little different way and different targets.

“On Oct. 19, you need to think about Canada and what kind of future you want for our country. I’m asking you to put your support and your faith in me...I will bring back the Canada we can all be proud of.”

David Wilks “The job of a Member of Parliament is to ensure he or she can get as

much as he can for his constituency so that the municipalities and community groups can move forward with projects they may want to move forward with,” Wilks said. “That’s my job as an MP. “The fabric of a community is its community groups and its functionality as a municipal or regional government.

Without money, they move nowhere. My job is to make sure that happens.”

The East Kootenay’s populations of western painted turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) are unique — they are the most northerly occurring turtles in North America, and the only native pond turtle left in B.C.

Idlewild project between a rock and a hard place Continued from page 1 Sharpe said that as an example. the window for working with the turtle population doesn’t coincide with the window for working with fish or for nesting for migratory waterfowl.

“So, we’re kind of between a rock and a hard place, to be honest.”

The East Kootenay’s populations of western painted turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) are unique — they are the most northerly occurring turtles in North America, and the only native pond turtle left in B.C. The Kootenays are the northern-most extent of their range.

They are also considered a species at risk, and are on the Provincial Blue List which confirms that status.

In winter, the waters of their ice-covered ponds are generally about 2°C and their metabolic rate is extremely low. This allows them to survive months of hibernation by relying on anaerobic metabolism (metabolism without oxygen), supplemented with some direct uptake of oxygen through specialised gilllike issues around the cloaca (the common opening of the reproductive and digestive tracts).

In February, City council made an in-camera decision to decommission the Idlewild Dam and draw the water level down in response to a report that identified concerns over its structural integrity.

Mayor Lee Pratt at the time said the decision was based on a Dam Breach Inundation Study, which noted if the dam failed, the uncontrolled release of water from Idlewild Lake would follow Joseph Creek through town and potentially flood up to 21 per cent of the city. That could impact as many as 2,100 residential properties and nearly 500 businesses. The report noted

there was also potential for loss of life.

The lowering of water levels in the lake would facilitate the decommissioning of the old dam and the establishment of a new dam, a restored lake and rehabilitated spillway system, Pratt said at the time.

Since then, the area around the lake has been fenced off and water levels have receded, which has raised

concerns about the habitat of the Western Painted Turtles and other flora and fauna around the area.

Sharpe notes that because of regulations from provincial and federal levels of government, it’s been frustrating to try and do the necessary work to help the turtles, birds and fish.

For example, simply relocating the turtles to another lake isn’t as

simple as it sounds, he said.

“What we’re being told is we have to basically radio-tag and capture five turtles and look at relocating them somewhere else and see if they will over-winter and survive there before we can do anything with any of the other turtles,” Sharpe said. “And it has to be moved to a location where there are no turtles and there’s very few of those around and

we have to monitor the turtles for a year to see how they do.”

Idlewild dam was built in the 1930s and is an earth-fill dam with a concrete core. The city said the dam is classified as a very high consequence dam by the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations. That was confirmed in the Dam Breach Inundation Study, completed by Urban Systems in 2014.

MGX buying old Tembec mill site for magnesium oxide plant Continued from page 1 “Basically, we’ve been looking at this site for over a year, effectively working on this deal for over a year. By the same time period we acquired the magnesium Driftwood deposit, so it was kind of part and parcel,” Lazerson said.

“We were looking at developing a mining property and we knew that a big part of that would be finding a place that would process the ore and more infrastructure-related, that there was actually infrastructure to handle a small industrial operation.”

Major infrastructure currently on the site in-

cludes some buildings and a wood processing plant, while the property itself is a large, fully-serviced industrial location with natural gas, water, power and rail access.

Tembec had formerly operated a saw and planer mill on the site which closed down respectively in 1998 and 2010. The planer mill was destroyed by a fire in November 2012.

The company is engaged in the acquisition and development of industrial mineral deposits in Western Canada that offer near-term production potential.

Cranbrook is situated

Jared Lazerson close to the the MGX Minerals Inc’s flagship property—the Driftwood Creek magnesium project—as the longterm objective is to build

a quarry mine and processing plant to produce magnesium oxide.

The proposed project is currently under permitting review for granting of a of a mining lease and applications for associated operating permits are in various stages of preparation.

As a rough explanation, the proposed facility will be similar to that of a cement plant.

“Everything that comes in basically goes out and is cycled, so we don’t have tailings, it’s like cement. You have your stockpiles and you process them and that’s it. Then it goes to rail— and that’s the big advantage to Cranbrook—to

the U.S.,” Lazerson said.

If all goes according to plan, the processing plant should be operational by 2017, he added.

“There are some things that take some time in terms of planning right now, we’re moving as quickly as we can, but we want to be smart about this,” he added.

As a rough ballpark, Lazerson said he estimates there will be 50 jobs when the plant is operational, which could double during the construction phase of the facility.

Local NEWS Avoid weed contamination while in backcountry C at hy Co nroy

This time of year is perfect for backcountry trips by ATV, mountain-bike, foot, or horseback. In order to preserve the important characteristics of our backcountry ecosystems, users should be aware of unintentional sources of weed contamination while in the backcountry.

Mechanized rides (ATVs, 4x4s, bikes) should be thoroughly checked and cleaned of mud, dirt, and hidden seeds or roots before and after entering the backcountry.

Users need to stick to designated trails or roads, and avoid picking up or spreading weeds, or damaging grasslands and riparian areas by careless travel. Something a little more challenging to deal with is the spread of invasive species through contaminated hay or feed for pack animals, or hidden in clothing or pets’ fur.

This year’s hot and dry summer has created a local shortage of hay.

Many hay users have already purchased hay from outside of their local community for supplemental feeding, or to use in the backcountry. Hay imported from even short dis-

tances might contain weed species not seen locally. It is not uncommon for hay fields to be contaminated with invasive species such as thistle, knapweed, burdock, oxeye daisy, tall buttercup, and wild caraway.

“Some people are just not aware that pretty little flowers like oxeye daisy and tall buttercup (to name a few) can affect backcountry ecosystems. Non- native species will generally outcompete native vegetation, often reducing available forage for wildlife.” says Allana Oestreich, Habitat Biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in Cranbrook.

“Steps should be taken to avoid introducing invasive weed species into backcountry areas, and that starts with knowing your invasive species, knowing what you can do to prevent spreading them, and if you find weeds take the time to pull them. We can all be a part of the solution.”

Hardest hit by the unintentional introduction of weed species by backcountry users are riparian areas. Riparian zones (found along the margins of creeks, rivers, wetlands and lakes)

do to help: Know your weed species. Contact EKIPC at 1-888-553-5472; go to ekipc.com, bcinvasives. ca, or www.invasive.org for resources and more information.

Do not transport weed-infested hay.

Purchase local weedfree compressed bales, or weed-free hay cubes.

Clean your equipment, clothing, and ride before and after entering the backcountry.

Outlook

A stable future is secured for a piece of private property alongside Elizabeth Lake, with its transfer to the The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

The NCC announced the aquisition of 26 high-value conservation properties, including the Cranbrook piece, on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

The one-and-a-halfacre piece of property was leased to the Land Conservancy of British Columbia (TLC) in 1998, said Lesley Marian Neilson, Communications Manager for the NCC. “This transfer of lands is part of the TLC’s plan to sell many of its properties in order to deal with its debt.”

Neilson said that these high-priority con-

servation properties contain some of the most significant habitats for biodiversity in BC, including species at risk and vulnerable rare ecosystems. Spanning forest, wetland and grasslands, these lands provide habitat for migratory birds, grizzly bears, salmon and many other native wildlife.

“Today’s transfer of title to NCC marks a significant step in securing a conservation future for these properties.”

For more than a year, NCC has worked with The Nature Trust of BC, TLC and others to find a way to ensure the conservation status of TLC’s high-priority conservation lands and provide for their long-term stewardship.

Some of the 26 properties will be transferred

to The Nature Trust; final details about subsequent transfers are still being worked out.

The properties are located all across the province.

“The Nature Conservancy of Canada was extremely motivated to ensure these important properties remain protected, and to uphold the expectations of the donors who had originally contributed to their conservation,” said Nancy Newhouse, acting regional vice president for the BC Region, Nature Conservancy of Canada.

“We are committed to providing for the longterm stewardship of all our conservation properties, and we are honoured to assume responsibility for these special places.”

travel corridors for hikers, bikers, riders, and ATV’s, and are used for water by humans, pets and pack animals. “It is up to the backcountry user to perform their due diligence” states Oestreich.

This includes ATV’s, mountain bikes, hikers with companion animals – all backcountry users can unintentionally impact the backcountry and riparian areas if they are not aware of hidden burs, seeds, or contaminated mud transported in laces and on vehicles, fur, or clothing.

“Part of the issue is

that people might think ‘well, that weed is everywhere, so why bother?’ But if we are all willing to do our part, we can all actually become part of the solution - not part of the problem” says Cathy Conroy, Terrestrial Invasive Species Coordinator with the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council. “A few simple steps can increase the likelihood that you are part of the solution, and the first one is learn some common weed species.”

On Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin was at the United Nations in New York saying that the United States was making “an enormous mistake” in not backing Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad in his war against Islamist rebels, notably including “Islamic State” (or ISIS, as it used to be known).

On Tuesday the upper chamber of the Russian parliament unanimously voted to let President Putin use military force in Syria to fight “terrorism”, in response to a request from the Syrian government.

And on Wednesday morning Russian warplanes started bombing rebel targets in Syria. Moscow gave the US embassy on Iraq one hour’s notice, requesting that US and “coalition” aircraft (which are also bombing Islamic State targets in Syria) avoid the airspace where the Russian bombers are in action.

And Donald Trump, bless his heart, said “You know, Russia wants to get ISIS, right? We want to get ISIS. Russia is in Syria — maybe we should let them do it?

Let them do it.”

And for once, Trump is right. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

If you want to stop ISIS, you have to do it with troops, and the only ground troops fighting ISIS in Syria are the Syrian army and the Kurds along the northern border with Turkey. But the US has been duped

by Turkey into betraying the Kurds, and it will not use its airpower to help the Syrian army, which is now on the ropes.

That’s why Palmyra fell to Islamic State forces in May. Despite all the other American airstrikes against ISIS forces in Syria, it made not one to help the Syrian

forces when they were desperately defending the historic city, and so they eventually had to retreat. It was more important to Washington not to be seen helping Assad than to save the city.

This is a fine moral position, as Assad’s regime is a deeply unattractive dictatorship. Indeed, the great majority of the 4 million Syrians who have fled the country were fleeing the regime’s violence, not that of ISIS. But if you don’t want the Islamist extremists to take over the country (and maybe Lebanon and Jordan as well), and you’re Gwynne not willing to put troops on the ground yourself, who Dyer else would you help?

Washington’s fantasy solution to this problem has been to create a ‘third force’ of rebels who will somehow defeat Islamic State while diplomacy somehow removes Assad. But the other big rebel organisations in Syria, al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, are also Islamists, little different from ISIS in their ideology and goals. In fact al-Nusra is a breakaway faction of ISIS, now affiliated with al-Qaeda. (Remember al-Qaeda? Chaps who did the 9/11 attacks?)

If Assad goes down, it is Islamic State, al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham who will take over Syria, not the pathetic little band of fighters being trained by the United States in Turkey. In fact the first group of them to cross back into Syria were immediately annihilated by ISIS, who had probably been tipped off by America’s not very loyal ally, the Turkish government.

If the Russians believed that the United States was willing to do the heavy lifting needed to defeat the Islamists and save the Assad regime, they would probably be more than happy to stand back and let America do it. It was the American in-

vasion of Iraq, after all, that created ISIS, and almost all of Islamic State’s leaders are veterans of the resistance in Iraq.

But Putin hears only high-minded rhetoric utterly detached from reality when he listens to Barack Obama. Russia has a large Muslim minority at home, and it is very much closer to the Middle East than the United States is. So if the Americans won’t do what is necessary, he will.

Putin does not make the same meaningless distinctions between Islamic State and the other Islamist groups that the United States insists on. The first Russian air strikes were on territory held by al-Nusra, not Islamic State. But the Russians will hit ISIS too. In fact, the first big operation will probably be an attack by a re-equipped Syrian army to retake Palmyra, heavily backed by Russian air power.

Putin has said that he will not commit Russian ground forces to combat in Syria, for the Russian public doesn’t want to see its soldiers involved in another war against Islamists after their miserable experience in Afghanistan in 1979-89. But the resolution in the Duma didn’t make any promises about that, and we may yet see Russian ground troops fighting in Syria too.

Whether Putin’s intervention will be enough to save Assad remains to be seen.

The carping commments in the Western media about how he wants to distract attention from Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian civil war and restore Russia’s position as a great power are true enough – indeed, he is probably shutting down the fighting in Ukraine mainly to clear the decks for Syria – but that is not his primary motive.

He is just doing what needs to be done.

Fog can sometimes act as a security blanket for elk

Larry Tooze photo

Some things you may not know about bull elk: Part 2 F FJ H u r ta k

Out of the Fog og, in most cases, is the enemy of a hunter, and over history has ruined many a stalk on just about every big game species there is.

There are some limited occasions though, where it can work to a hunters advantage.

Why? Well, several times in the past, on elk hunts, I have found that all elk seem to feel very comfortable about coming out into open areas when it’s foggy. As long as the elk are not any great distance from a hunter, one can still pick them out reasonably well if the fog is not of the pea-soup variety.

I learned a valuable lesson about that again just a few years ago when hunting with friend, Kevin Wensley from Victoria.

We were on a ten-day hunt deep in the backcountry and wrestling with tremendously dry conditions and 30 degree celsius temperatures during the day. We knew the elk were there but actually calling them in or locating them consistently had been very tough. The bulls would give us the odd bugle the first half hour of daylight, or again 20 minutes before dark, and then go silent, confining themselves to the heavy timber avoiding any openings whatsoever. The overly dry conditions made it an almost impossibility to go in after them. We tried a couple of times but to no avail, and

we probably spooked more elk than we care to admit.

However, on the sixth day of our hunt a storm blew in overnight and dropped about two hours worth of light rain on the parched landscape. We woke up to clearing skies and heavy fog right around our camp.

We elected to stay out of the now soaked forest canopy, and climb a fairly open ridge in the dark and take a position to wait for daylight. When we were about halfway up the ridge a shrill bugle pierced the morning air.

The cool wind blowing in my face told me that conditions were favourable for us, and if the fog lifted or was not too thick, we had a good chance of seeing this bull. Five minutes later the bull screeched another challenge call into the rapidly fading darkness. I sent Kevin 25 yards ahead to a spot I had shown him a few days before, where he had some cover, and I remained below and situated myself against a fallen tree. My plan was to return the bulls challenge as soon as we had legal shooting light.

The bull called two more times and I could tell he was in the heavy timber bordering the top of the ridge. Our visibility range in the fog was limited to about 30 yards at the most, as daylight finally arrived.

To get things going and to see how the bull would react to

my calling I just loudly chirped on my cow call one time. The bull responded immediately and answered back — he was much closer now. I quickly caught some movement up ahead and the shadowy form of a bull on the move appeared out of the morning fog.

What a sight he was-like a photo out of an expensive nature calendar. The bull was facing me head on. I spotted a large fork behind the “dagger tine” which is the tallest point straight up on a bull’s rack, and I knew he was a big sixpoint and he was coming my way. I had no idea if Kevin could see him or not.

I locked the crosshairs on my scope on the bull’s front chest, but before I could squeeze the trigger, the roar of Kevin’s gun echoed across the draw below. The bull now in high gear, angled straight towards me, so I placed another close range shot just above the front shoulder, but to my surprise the bull did not go down instantly. He turned and was headed for the deep ravine and I attempted another shot to the base of his neck just before he went out of view.

I was almost certain that the bull would not go far, but the last thing I wanted to see happen was to push him into the bottom of the ravine by going after him too quickly.

That would substantially increase the arduous pack out.

I yelled to Kevin to stay put

for 10 minutes to give the bull a chance to lay down. After the time had elapsed, Kevin made his way down to me, and we followed the blood trail for a short distance where we found the bull piled up on top of some small alders. The “Foggy Mountain” bull was ours.

The change of weather had no doubt made this bull much more active than he had been in the previous week, and that combined with the fog, gave the bull a false sense of security when he exited the heavy timber and he crossed the opening on the ridge without giving it too much consideration.

So in this case and a couple of other hunts I have been involved with, the fog proved to be a boon not a hindrance.

Therefore, I formed the conclusion a long time ago, that fog seems to act as a security blanket of sorts for elk, and most importantly they can be walking around at any time of day when fog is present. That is something I always keep in mind while on a fall hunt, especially when a weather change occurs which could precipitate some fog.

Dynamiters bring back the pink

KIJHL’s defending champions don pink sweaters to be auctioned through October in support of Starlite Campaign Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

After spending the bulk of two weeks on the road to end the month of September, the Kimberley Dynamiters return home to open the month of October with five consecutive games in the friendly confines of the Civic Centre.

With the Revelstoke Grizzlies visiting Kimberley Friday night, fans will once again pour through the doors of the old barn. This time, they might be caught off guard when they realize the defending KIJHL champions look drastically different.

When the Dynamiters step onto the ice Friday, they’ll be sporting brand-new, vibrant pink sweaters in support of the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) and its annual Starlite Campaign.

“Several years ago we had a very successful jersey fundraiser with EKFH and the digital mammography campaign,” said Chad Koran, president of the Dynamiters. “That donation made a big difference to people with breast cancer diagnosis so we wanted to help again this year.”

According to Koran, the Nitros last took up this initiative in 2013-14, raising approximately

The Cranbroook native recalls his grand-

“My grandma had breast cancer a couple years ago and she beat it,” said the 19-year-old.

A silent-auction format fundraiser will run through the month of October at all seven Kimberley Dynamiters home games, in which people can bid on each unique, player-worn jersey.

The auction will conclude at the 10-minute mark of the third period on Sunday, Oct. 25 when the Nitros host the Chase Heat. Puck drop is set for 2 p.m. that day.

COC president steps down as sexual harassment investigation begins CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Marcel Aubut stepped down as president of the Canadian Olympic Committee and chairman of the Canadian Olympic Foundation on Wednesday for the duration of a sexual harassment investigation.

The COC received a complaint last Friday about Aubut and has retained Francois Rolland, former Chief Justice of the Quebec Superior Court, to head an independent investigation.

“Mr. Marcel Aubut has learned of allegations concerning re-

marks he allegedly made to a colleague,” said Aubut in a statement. “He has offered his unconditional support to those responsible for investigating the remarks attributed to him and setting the record straight. This is a normal process that should be completed by mid-October.”

Aubut and the COC issued separate statements about the allegations.

The 67-year-old from Saint-Hubert-de-Riviere-du-Loup, Que., asked to step away from his duties for the duration of the investigation.

Fans can make that determination for themselves beginning Friday at 7 p.m. when the Dynamiters host the Grizzlies.

The Nitros edged the Grizzlies by a 4-3 margin Saturday in Revelstoke, though Richter said the score wasn’t necessarily indicative of the game.

“They’re going to

“I think we outplayed them in Revelstoke.

Cranbrook was treated to a high-level basketball showcase over the weekend, as teams from the Lower Mainland and Alberta converged on the city for the Battle at the Border tournament.

Organized by the Mount Baker Secondary School girls basketball team, the tournament featured a few alumni and allowed the local high school team to see what college-level ball is like, said MBSS head coach Al Nutini.

“It was huge,” Nutini said. “For them to see this calibre of basketball, it makes them think, ‘Hey, I can do this, I can play at this level, too,’ so it was great

“The teams had fun, it was good basketball and the senior girls did a good job running it...

It was great for them to see what it’s like at the next level.”

Ominous sign of things to come?

A

Attendance on opening night at Western Financial Place doesn’t bode well for struggling Kootenay Ice

little less than a week ago, I sat in the press box at Western Financial Place, excited for the start of another Western Hockey League campaign.

This season, the 50th anniversary of the WHL, is a pretty monumental one from a league standpoint.

For the Kootenay Ice, the 2015-16 season could also be monumental when you consider the message sent down from league commission Ron Robison earlier this summer.

Robison characterized the situation surrounding the Ice as having reached “a very critical stage.”

As the lights went down Friday, the fog rolled in and the public address began to introduce the 2015-16 edition of the club to fewer than 2,200 people I couldn’t help but wonder if the dark cloud and relatively quiet applause was an ominous sign for the year to come and what might follow.

When all was said and done, 2,137 people were reported as having entered into Western Financial Place for the Kootenay Ice home-open-

ing game against their longstanding Central Division rivals, the Calgary Hitmen.

Taylor Rocca A premium matchup. The excitement of seeing a new group of players led by a new coaching staff for the first time. And yet, the attendance in the building was 102 people fewer than what the club averaged through the entire 2014-15 season.

In July, Robison told me attendance was going to have to peak beyond 3,000 spectators a night at Western Financial Place if the league is to consider Cranbrook a viable market for WHL hockey.

To expect 3,000 people in the barn might be a stretch, but I can say I didn’t expect to see attendance continue its slide. Most certainly not on opening night.

Now, I don’t want this to come across as an attack on

citizens of Cranbrook or a fullon defense of the Kootenay Ice organization. It is neither.

I understand families are on tight budgets as we trudge through a difficult economic time and perhaps this doesn’t leave room for tickets.

As a print media reporter who went to school for six years, I’ve got student debt and don’t exactly collect the most handsome of paycheques. It’s enough to live comfortably but my monthly entertainment budget is pretty slim. I get it.

I understand people around here maybe have issue with how the club has been run. It’s a tough business to operate in and there are critics in every market you go to.

But at the end of it all, there is a prestige that comes with having a major junior hockey club associated with and calling your town its home.

For up to eight months of the year, bus loads of local economic benefit cruise into town, with players filling hotel rooms, eating in restaurants and occasionally spending at the local sports shop.

Not to mention, you have an anchor tenant holding down space in a relatively new, 4,264-seat Western Financial Place.

I didn’t grow up in Cranbrook but I’ve been here long enough to hear people complain about the white elephant that building could become should its primary tenant vacate.

There certainly aren’t enough minor hockey teams to rent all the ice left behind and I’m not convinced enough concert opportunities exist to fill the 36 nights of the year that the Kootenay Ice wouldn’t be entertaining folks.

I’m a fan of major junior hockey and the opportunity it provides so many young Ca-

nadians to advance their careers and earn an education in the same shot. That’s no secret.

In my time living in the East Kootenay, I’ve come to love the area.

It will be a sad day for the city of Cranbrook should the Kootenay Ice be uprooted by the WHL and taken somewhere else.

But at this rate, that very well could be the reality of the situation.

I’m not here to be a cheerleader for the Kootenay Ice, but I do hope citizens and hockey fans realize what is at stake for their city.

With the WHL’s 50th season underway, I hear legendary stories of a raucous Memorial Arena and thousands of fans travelling hundreds of miles to watch the Kootenay Ice away from Cranbrook.

When two more longstanding rivals, the Spokane Chiefs and Lethbridge Hurricanes, visit Western Financial Place this weekend, I’m hoping to hear a little bit of that legendary roar and see a few more butts in the seats.

Jays clinch C anadian Press

It wasn’t the storybook scene anyone would have dreamt up: a half-empty road stadium in the first half of a doubleheader on a Wednesday afternoon.

It was a moment 22 years in the making for the Toronto Blue Jays and almost a year in the making for the 2015 team. In front of an intimate crowd at Camden Yards wearing more blue than orange, the Blue Jays routed the Baltimore Orioles 15-2 to clinch the American League East.

The pennant is Toronto’s first since 1993, when it won its second of back-to-back World Series titles. It assures the Blue Jays a spot in the five-game AL Division Series rather than the uncertainty of a onegame wild-card playoff.

“Anything can happen in a one-game series,” injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.

“You could have the best pitcher in the world starting for you and anything can really happen in those games.”

The flags were flying at Celebration of Peace Submit ted

The 5th annual Celebration for Peace went off without a hitch — albeit was a very windy afternoon which kept some of the international students from the College busy ‘catching’ and ‘re-attaching’ the ‘flags of the world’ as the breeze whipped them from the decorating streamers.

The Color Guard may have been smaller this year but all the words for peace were so meaningful. It was especially refreashing to hear Katie Grady’s comments and to know that she went to the effort to interview some of her peers. Well done!

All of the prayers were excellent; we thank Major Linda Green for the Opening Prayer,

Pastor Gordon Henry for the Closing Prayer, and Ifti Sumra for the Prayer for Mankind. We were especially honored to have Ifti participate as he is one of our local paramedics, and his home country is Kenya, Africa.

The entertainment was absolutely fantastic — the singers, muscians, soloists, duos, choirs, groups made a lively and entertaining afternoon was enjoyed by all. We had a very special treat this year — Chief Jim Whitehead joined Doug Mitchell for a couple of songs. A huge thank you to Chief Jim Whitehead for being part of the celebration.

How does one find words to convey the beauty of Jacqueline Henry’s interpretive dance to Song For Canada? The dance is

so spiritual, almost angelic, that you find yourself holding your breath.

Some of the comments received about the Celebration for Peace were: “We need to have more celebrations like this”; “It would be wonderful to have at least two celebrations for peace every year”; “This celebration is so uplifting, you leave feeling so good inside”.

I’m sure all of us attending felt very much like the preceeding comments.

Our Organizing Committee wishes to sincerely thank all the sponsors, all of the entertainers, and all of the volunteers. Together it was a beautiful, hopeful, inspiring Celebration.

See you next September, 2016 !

1903 Great dance … The largest and one of the most successful dances ever given in the district of South East Kootenay was the one held last Friday night at Wardner by the employees of Crows Nest Pass Lumber Company. Fully 250 people were present, and from beginning to end, the event was marked by the sociable feeling prevailing and the total absence of anything that would tend to mar the success of the occasion. Nearly seventy five people from Cranbrook were present, and a large delegation from Fort Steele.

Arrangements had been

made for a freight to take down the Cranbrook people and a special coach was attached for that purpose. Another train was to return about 3 o’clock in the morning, but unfortunately it was delayed, yet this was no fault of the committee, as they had used excellent judgment in every arrangement having spared no effort or expense to make the dance a credit to themselves and to the district.

Youngster … T. Love was 76 years old today, and was receiving the congratulations of his many friends in Cranbrook. He is the youngest man for his age in the district.

This Election is REALLY Important …

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY

THE GLORIOUS SONS with guests - Northcote OCTOBER 20 at 7:30 pm

Red Rock Diner NOVEMBER 14 at 7:30 pm

It was Ronald Reagan’s supply side economic ideas — the policy of marginal rate tax cuts, a strong dollar, trade globalization, deregulation of key industries all of which unleashed a great wave of entrepreneurial and technological innovation that transformed and restructured the US economy. He knew that the key to sustained success was a strong economy.

As we approach the Federal Election in October Canada’s economy is at a historic crossroads.

Canada’s value proposition in the global economy has shifted dramatically. Canada, now more than ever, must identify and champion opportunities where it can be a global leader.

When Canadians go to the polls on October 19, they will chart the course for Canada moving forward. The Chamber sees this election as a pivotal time for Canada’s economy. The decisions and actions in the near term going forward will determine Canada’s economic success in the long term.

We all want to ensure Canada remains strong and competitive in this fast-changing world.

The Chamber wants to see our economy grow and we want more jobs for Canadians.

The outcome of this election will be central to ensuring we have a rising and sustainable standard of living and a strong economy that is able to generate the wealth we need to provide for our aging population and the social programs we cherish.

Never has the world seen such a portability of people, capital, products, and services.

Competition for our businesses, and our economy as a whole, spans the globe.

keycitytheatre.com 250-426-7006

The challenge today, more so than ever, is that we are competing with traditional economic powerhouses and emerging nations in the global economy - and we are losing ground to the frontrunners.

Ten years ago, we were the world’s 10th largest exporter. Today, we rank 13th.

SD #5

Until recently we were the largest trade partner with the United States by a considerable margin. Looking at year to date statistics we are barely clinging to #1 with China set to surpass us sometime this year and that is with the Chinese economy slowing dramatically.

In 2014, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada 15th in global economic competitiveness; down five spots from a 2009 ranking of 10th.

The question we are faced with is: how do we stop this decline and turn things around to bring Canada back to the front of the pack?

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce joins the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Chambers across Canada in calling on political parties to engage with businesses and commit to practical solutions and actions in the four areas that are critical to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy: • Access to a Powerful Workforce • Access to Capital • Access to Technology and Innovation • Access to Markets Details on the Chamber’s position and the calls to action can be found on the Cranbrook Chamber’s website.

These measures are the best way to enable the Canadian business community to compete and win in the global economy.

Investing in our economy is the only way to create great jobs for young people, develop new technologies right here at home, and produce the wealth that pays for the education, infrastructure, health care and the other advantages we value as Canadians.

The upcoming election is a unique opportunity to shape a Canada that is stronger, more economically stable, and more competitive. We need a Canada that wins.

journey no other newly married couple had ever undertaken. With them as guides went J. S. Barber and Joe Levac.

The guides saw the happy couple across the summit and then left.

Mr. and Mrs. Rauch continued with the horses and disposed of them to the farmers.

Thus pleasure and business were well combined, as the honeymoon netted a good profit. The marriage came in the nature of a surprise to the friends of the contracting parties and letters are still received at the Wilmer post-office addressed to Miss E. Payne, which was the bride’s name before she undertook the double matrimonial horse-dealing journey.

Turtle mountain scare … On Tuesday morning those on board the express got a scare at Frank. The rumblings which occasionally break out on the crumbling mountain were very severe that morning and the train was backed up for a safe distance and delayed for an hour, As the train was on time that morning pitch darkness prevailed when the train went through, but the alarming rumblings of rocks tumbling down the mountain side intensified the dangers which could not be seen.

1904 Viewpoint … The Oriental terror received a practical demonstration in Cranbrook the past week. With three white painting contractors doing business in the town and spending their money here with the merchants, a fourth individual has appeared on the scene and is out after work and is getting it, that is a Japanese.

Every person do as they like with their money, but as far as we are concerned, we would let a building rot for the want of paint before we would give the job to an Oriental when there were white men in the town looking for work.

Read ... Our great summer stock of Campbell’s Semi-Ready clothing got so low that of late we have refrained from advertising it. Our fall and winter clothing is now in our store. The greatest stock of men’s clothing ever brought to this district — all semiready; that is, sleeves, lining and pant bottoms

are left unfinished. We measure you and complete the suit to your order, with no extra cost to customer. Morrow & McFarlane.

What a mess …

Owing to the vast quantity of paper that had been thrown out, Baker Street on Tuesday morning looked like a ragpicker’s alley. It is too bad that the main street of the town cannot be kept in better condition.

It looks badly to strangers.

Hats & music … Last Thursday night was the opening of the millinery display at Hill & Co.’s store. Wright & Millward’s orchestra was present, and while the ladies were going into ecstasies of delight over the latest styles in hats, their hearts were filled with joy by the excellent music furnished by the orchestra.

Better on foot …

“Jack” Watson returned last week from a trip through the Windermere country. He started out on a cayuse but a goodly portion of the return trip was made on foot. He says that is the only way to travel so as to thoroughly enjoy the scenery, and then a horse is so much bother when one is traveling.

Weather news … The chilly winds that are blowing these days bring to mind the fact that days of the yellow tamarack and golden poplar are at hand, and that the camp fire will soon be a chilly proposition. It is then that many will begin to marvel what has become of the coin earned during the glorious months of a Kootenay summer.

Wow! … Don Carlo the hypnotist has been at Wentworth Hall the past week. The power that he displays causes deep thinking men to stop and consider, and the blindfold ride he made on Tuesday was so daring, so mysterious, that many who witnessed it shuddered and escaped, as the day was chilly. Men and boys have been placed under his influence and obeyed every command, even to indulging in the unusual exertion of moving quickly.

When this was witnessed there existed no longer any doubt in the minds of the most skeptical as to the power that the professor was endowed with.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel as if you are stuck in a holding pattern. By the midafternoon, a call will energize you. Suddenly, you might be completing errands with great speed. You’ll feel much more like yourself than you did in the morning. Tonight: Speak your mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Claim your power, and ask for what you want. Don’t be surprised if you have to repeat a conversation you have had already. Make sure your budget is right-on as you eye a financial change. Understand what you can and can’t do. Tonight: Make dinner your treat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel a little out of it for a good part of the day. Take some time off if you can. You will come back feeling revitalized as a result. Give yourself what your body craves. You need a break from the hectic pace every once in a while. Tonight: Tell it like it is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be in a position where you would prefer to handle a personal matter directly.

Conversations occur more easily in the morning, especially in a meeting. You might decide to withdraw by late afternoon.

Take some downtime. Tonight: Make it a night just for you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take charge of a personal matter that could be bothering you. You might have to handle another situation first in order to get the results you would like. Schedule a meeting in the evening, when you can unwind enough to be receptive to what is going on. Tonight: Out late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to get a second opinion before making a decision that involves education, travel or your in-laws. Pressure builds, as you’ll have a lot to do.

Be more direct with an associate; he or she needs to know where you are coming from.

Tonight: At a favorite place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand

Tundra

what all the hype is about. Walk in someone else’s shoes to understand his or her attitude. You could be surprised by what you discover as a result. Make calls to someone from whom you often get feedback. Tonight: Where there is great music.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not want to go along with a domineering friend’s plans. In the long run, this decision will make your life much easier. Listen to what someone else has to share. Don’t hesitate to question the basis of this person’s opinions. Tonight: Make plans for the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to evaluate what is happening with a project or hobby that involves several people. You could feel as if this endeavor is moving like molasses. Consider what needs to take place, and understand the role you have to play. Tonight: With a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be far more assertive than you have been in a while.

Consider your options more

openly. You’ll feel better when you let go of some of the tension in your life. A child or loved one clearly delights in having you closer. Tonight: Work out first, then decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Consider an option that up to now has been unavailable. A conversation with a boss or family member will put a smile on your face. How you deal with a personal matter could change for the better, if you would just relax. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be more out of sync than you realize. Understand what is happening around you before you take action. Someone you care about might be demanding, and he or she seems to want much more from you. Tonight: Cocoon at home, if need be.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My mother-in-law lives an hour away from us. My husband’s sister, “Dot,” and her husband, “Jeff,” and their married children, periodically come to our house for overnight stays in order to visit Mom. My husband often invites Dot and her family to come for several days at Christmas. We now are lucky enough to have a vacation cabin, and he invited them to stay with us for two weeks.

When they visit, Dot and Jeff do not help with meals or do dishes. Jeff drinks lots of coffee, but never offers to make a pot. Dot means well, but is such a talker that she easily gets sidetracked on her way to help at cleanup time. They do not take us out for a single meal or offer to order pizza. They both speak loudly.

Jeff mostly talks about himself and Dot can carry on for hours.

My family gathers at a hotel for the holidays, and we invite my siblings to the cabin for two nights each summer.

While my husband welcomes my siblings, I do not enjoy hosting his side.

I want to show respect for my in-laws and make my husband happy, but it’s really unpleasant to be around them. I cannot handle two weeks.

I told my husband that we should discuss these invitations before they are extended. His retort is that I would never agree to host his sister. Do you have any suggestions? -- Can’t Do It Dear Can’t: All such invitations should be discussed in advance, but then you cannot dismiss all requests to host Dot and Jeff. The compromise is the length of the visit. You would find it more tolerable to host your in-laws if they stayed for a shorter duration -say, three days or less. Two weeks is too much, especially for guests who refuse to help out. Also, set some guidelines.

It is perfectly OK to tell Jeff, “As long as you are having coffee, please make a pot for the rest of us.” It’s also fine to say to either one, “I could use some help in the kitchen,” and “Tonight, it’s your turn to treat us to dinner -- you get to pick the place.” Assert yourself, and make sure your husband is on board.

And when the conversation becomes too much, go for a walk. Alone.

Dear Annie: As a senior citizen, I would like to suggest that stores, including grocery stores, provide some benches throughout their shopping areas. I could shop longer after taking a break. The benches in front, outside the checkout area, are inconvenient.

Also, the scooters offered at some stores often have not been fully charged. They are left in parking lots, and employees need to bring them in to recharge. Customers should plug them in. It only takes a moment. -- Trying to Be Independent Dear Trying: You make a good point that benches at varying points throughout a store could encourage shoppers to spend more money, and owners might consider that an incentive. As for plugging in scooters, that relies on the consideration of each individual user. The same applies to those who use regular shopping carts and leave them all over the parking lot.

Pet Valu seeks new East Kootenay franchisee

Newly-opened Cranbrook store to be franchised locally FOR THE TOWNSMAN

The search is on to find a local owner for Cranbrook’s newest Pet Valu store at 2100 Willowbrook Dr. The 4,534 square foot

boutique is one of the newest Pet Valu stores in Canada and stocks hundreds of specialty pet foods, treats, toys, grooming tools. The store also features a Self-

CoQ10 and Cardiovascular Health By: Dr. Darcie Pawlick BSc, ND

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a cofactor required for the electron transport chain which is an energy producing process that occurs in every cell in the body. This process is especially important in the heart which needs a vast amount of energy production in order to pump blood through our bodies. The theory is that providing adequate amounts of CoQ10 should help with more efficient energy production, thus, a stronger and healthier working heart. Research has shown that people with high blood pressure, chronic heart failure and heart disease all have low amounts of CoQ10. Coq10 is also a very strong antioxidant which further benefits the conditions listed above since one thing they all have in common is the production of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in the body can cause negative health effects and antioxidants are necessary for repair. CoQ10 also stabilizes and protects smooth muscle cells and blood vessels which could be the reason it has shown to be so effective in the treatment of high blood pressure.

CoQ10 can also prevent secondary coronary events. Secondary coronary events include a second heart attack or any issue regarding the heart, occurring after a first event. If a person has never supplemented with CoQ10 and has had a coronary event then they will have an even higher demand for energy production so it would definitely be beneficial to consider adding CoQ10 into a treatment plan. It has been shown that CoQ10 is most effective when given within the first 3 days and for the first year following a coronary event in order to prevent a second one. CoQ10 is non-toxic with little to no side effects and does not typically interact with conventional medications that are given for cardiovascular issues. It is important to note that CoQ10 production in the body is blocked in people taking cholesterol lowering medications called statins (ie. Lipitor and Crestor) and every person on these medications should be taking a CoQ10 supplement.

Overall, the use of CoQ10 will not harm and will most likely result in positive health benefits so should be considered in treatment plans for people with past coronary events or current high cardiovascular risk.

Please consult a physician before taking CoQ10 to find out whether it would benefit you and what dose would be appropriate.

For more information on cardiovascular health and other treatments please contact us at: info@roots-to-health.com.

Live Life Well.

Serve Dog Wash with two dog wash and blowdry stations.

While this is the first store the company has opened in Cranbrook, Geoff Sonik, Franchise Sales Manager for Pet Valu Canada, says the chain currently operates almost 50 Bosley’s by Pet Valu boutiques in British Columbia.

“Pet Valu is proud to be investing in the East Kootenay region and we look forward to becoming part of the Cranbrook business community,” says Geoff. “Now that the store is open, we’re looking for a local franchise partner who shares our passion for pets and has a strong understanding of the local retail market,” explains Geoff.

“This is a rare opportunity to join the Pet Valu family of more than 600 stores and help us grow the brand in British Columbia,” he says.

One of the strongest drivers for Pet Valu growth in the past few years has been Canadian pet owners’ insistence on quality nutrition and treats for their pets. “Pet parents see their pets as part of the family and that’s why we offer a great selection of higher quality, Canadian-made pet foods and treats,” says Geoff.

“Another important pet business trend is the growing dedication Canadians have to grooming their pets. The new Cranbrook Pet Valu features spa-like Self-Serve Dog Wash stations, which are fully equipped with quality grooming products and a professional high-velocity dryer. It’s a tremendous value at only $10 … plus we clean up the mess,” he adds.

Eligible Franchisees Need $300,000 Net Worth; $125,000 in Liquid Assets

To be eligible to be considered, potential franchisees need to exhibit an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for pets and have a minimum cash investment of $125,000 and the ability to finance an additional $200,000+. “Pet Valu offers a very attractive and accessible franchise package, so competition is usually fairly robust,” explains Geoff.

In the past five years alone, Pet Valu has raised more than $7 million, and helped over 11,000 pets find forever homes through their fund raising and adoption efforts, so, according to Geoff, it’s also important that would-be franchisees share the spirit of giving back.

To learn more about Pet Valu franchise opportunities and receive a Franchise Information Kit, visit petvalu.com/ franchise or call 1-800845-4759.

It’s apple picking season in Cranbrook and Kimberley FOR THE TOWNSMAN

The Cranbrook Food Action Committee is pleased to be partnering with Wildsight for apple picking and pressing as part of annual harvest festivities at Cranbrook’s Public Produce Garden on Sunday, October 4.

Folks looking for apples are asked to muster at 10 am at the Garden to harvest from trees on the Wildsight’s Apple Capture Project fruit tree registry. The group, and others with apples to process, will reconvene at the same location at 1 pm in the afternoon to mill and press apples into delicious apple juice.

Dirk de Geus, Food Sustainability Coordinator for Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook is happy that this unique program exists.

Through the Apple Capture Project, Wildsight provides our community with the equipment to pick, press or dehydrate apples, free of charge!

Dirk is excited about the

event and would love to see many people show up and be ready to pick some apples from trees that otherwise would not be harvested. The juice from these apples is local, mainly organic, and literally “fresh off the press”. Dirk also asks that participants please bring containers if they would like to take juice home.

As Community Coordinator for WildSafeBC in Kimberley and Cranbrook, Sonja Seher is proud to support and help promote the event.

“As the wild berries have finished their cycle and apples are ripe in town, unpicked fruit becomes a considerable attractant for bears, and for other wildlife as well”. Sonja adds that reports to the Conservation Officer Service have indicated that fruit trees have even surpassed garbage as a leading wildlife attractant in recent weeks. “So the Apple Capture Project, and public events like

this, have multiple benefits: our residents realize the potential in their fruit, and help reduce the chances of a close encounter with bears in town”.

“Dehydrated, these apples will make a great, tasty, healthy snack for kids lunch boxes all winter long. Juiced, they will be full of flavour: not much tops a glass of freshly pressed apple juice! You can’t buy happiness, but you can pick and eat local apples, that’s kind of the same thing,” says Dirk.

If you have a tree ripe for the picking, and not enough time to harvest and utilize your fruit, consider listing your tree on the Apple Capture Project’s fruit tree registry! To register your tree, or to receive more information on the event and equipment bookings, give the Kimberley-Cranbrook branch office a call at 250-427-9325 or visit wildsight.ca/apples.

Obituaries Ernest Billey May 23rd, 1933 September 28th, 2015

It is with profound sadness that the family of Ernest “Ernie” Billey announce his passing in the early morning hours of September 28th, 2015.

Ernie was surrounded by family who loved him deeply and were there to assist him in his peaceful transition to be with the Lord.

Ernie was born in Desjarlais, Alberta and joined his large family on the farm which gave him ample opportunity to develop his incredible mechanical abilities early. He was a man who loved deeply, was loyal and always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed a handyman.

Ernie truly enjoyed the challenge of fixing anything that had moving parts. It was common to hear the comment “if Ernie can’t fix it – no one can.”

Ernie was a devoted family man. He loved his family and enjoyed any and all family gatherings. One of his enjoyments was showing off his BBQ skills by serving up perfectly seasoned and cooked steaks or prime rib. He was a simple man not needing a lot, but he never stopped giving.

Ernie leaves to mourn his loss his wife Sharron of 56 years, 3 daughters, Brenda Goodspeed, Amber (Charlie) Scarborough & Crystal Billey, 1 son, Farren (Meskerem) Billey, 3 granddaughters, Ashley (Mike) Buczkowski, Saladayne Billey & Breann Billey, 3 grandsons, Jared Peterson, Matthew Scarborough & Tristan (Jenn) Peterson, 1 great grandson, Theron Peterson, 1 great granddaughter, Quinn Buczkowski, 3 sisters, Teresa Edinger, Marlys (Clifford) Sluggett, Stella (Howard) Ness, several brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews and their families. Ernie was predeceased by his first wife (Ruth), his parents, George & Mary, his stepfather, Mike Kilarowski, his grandparents, 5 brothers, Bill, Steave, Andy, Ed & John, 2 sisters, Lucy and an infant (un-named) sister.

A memorial service for Ernie will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 at 2:00 pm. He will be interred in Westlawn Cemetery. Please join the family back at McPherson’s after the interment for a lunch and fellowship. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ernie’s honour to the charity of your choice.

It is with great sadness that the family of Duncan Roderick Robertson announces his passing, in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 27th, 2015.

Duncan fought bravely against the ravages of bladder cancer and inspired us all with his unfailing optimism and courage.

Duncan was born in 1931, the youngest of five, in ‘The Gulch’ in Trail BC. He spent his childhood roaming the West Kootenay hills in search of fish and huckleberries.

At the age of 16, he took advantage of an opportunity to work at Cominco, becoming a skilled machinist and earning the nickname ‘Doc’. His 42 year tenure at Cominco started in Trail, led him to Riondel, and ended in Kimberley. A seemingly confirmed bachelor, Duncan had his share of Kootenay adventures, from helping to build the golf course in Riondel to racing cars in Spokane.

Bachelorhood ended when Duncan met Anne Scott. They married in 1968 and together raised two boys, Ross and David. Duncan was a dedicated father, enduring AC/DC on hunting trips and travelling to every hockey rink in Western Canada. After Duncan’s retirement in 1993, he and Anne delighted in taking trips and becoming grandparents, cherishing their time with Megan and Jamie every Friday. After Anne’s passing in 2005, Duncan continued to enjoy golf and curling, including a memorable eight-ender and several runs at the BC Seniors’ curling championships. Duncan relished his role as head baby whisperer, when Skye and Kirk arrived on the scene. In the last couple of years, Duncan found love again with his fiancée, Goldie Pedersen. Duncan and Goldie enjoyed many trips to the West Kootenay as well as seniors’ bowling, where Duncan parlayed his curling skills into the ‘rookie of the year’ bowling award, at the tender age of 82.

Duncan was predeceased by his wife, Anne, his siblings, Connie, Isobel, and Doug, and his infant grandson, Ewan.

He is survived by his sister, Dorothy (Chuck), his sons, Ross (Lynnette) and David (Laura), his grandchildren, Megan, Jamie, Skye, and Kirk, and his fiancée, Goldie Pedersen.

The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Clay and the homecare staff for helping Duncan to stay at home as long as possible and to the staff at The Pines for ensuring that his final days were as comfortable as possible.

In keeping with Duncan’s wishes, there will not be a funeral. Instead, there will be a celebration of life come and go tea, on Saturday October 3, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, at the Kimberley Curling Club. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society Financial Support Program at www.cancer.ca or #19-9th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9.

Ed (Eddie) Pearson 1924 - 2015

Ed (Eddie) Pearson passed away on September 27th, 2015 leaving his well-used chainsaws and snowblowers behind.

Ed was born in Scotland in 1924, emigrating to Kimberley in 1929. As a youth he delivered papers and firewood, and drove taxi before enlisting in the Air Force and Army until sent home on a medical discharge.

Ed started work with Northern Construction until Cominco persuaded Mr. Chase to let them borrow him.

He retired as a Shift Boss at the Fertilizer in 1982.

Retirement provided more time for Ed to enjoy the outdoors, and while cutting his winter supply of firewood he would always cut extra to give to his friends. These wonderful people in return supported Dad through his two decade battle with prostate cancer with their gift of friendship; providing him with delicious meals, companionship, and a source of wood in Kimberley and Lumberton.

Special thanks to the ladies at the Hair Emblazon Salon and Sole to Soul who took great care of him; and to the angels who work at “The Pines” who cared for Dad, and Steve and I – feeding both our bodies and souls.

Surviving Ed are his children: Deanna (Steve) Hendry of Victoria; Jim (Colleen) Pearson, Tanis (Rene) Pouliot; 6 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren; his sister Phemia (Jerry) Lundahl of Duncan, and brother Joe (Joy) Pearson. Special thanks to his favourite nephew, Jim Middleton of North Bay, ON whose frequent phone calls and letters entertained Dad so much.

Winter saw Ed up very early shovelling or blowing the snow at his house, those of his special neighbours, and the downtown area. The sidewalks of Marysville will be whiter this year....

ROBERT (ROB) SCOTT TAIT September 10th, 1975 – October 1st, 2014

One year has passed since that very sad day When our dear son ROBERT was taken away.

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel.

For no-one knows the pain and heartache That lies behind our smiles.

No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried.

We think of you dear ROB in silence, We so often speak your name.

What would we give to hear your voice and see your smiling face again.

We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt.

ROB, you’re so wonderful to think of But so VERY HARD TO LIVE WITHOUT. We hold you close within our hearts And there you’ll ALWAYS remain, To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.

We love and miss you ROBERT, so very much.

Mom (Lynda), Dad (Cam), Wayne, Kris, Bryce, Sheri and Paige.

Mary passed away peacefully at Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek Mews in Kelowna, BC on the morning of September 23rd. Mary was born in Mayook, B.C, the youngest daughter of Mary and Basil Bulkot, immigrants from Skola, Poland who arrived in Canada in the early 1900â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Mary was raised on her family homestead farm in Mayook and upon graduation she moved to Cranbrook where she worked at the local newspaper. In 1949 she married the love of her life, John Dunbar and they raised four children together. Over the years they would live in 5 provinces as Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career in the RCAF had them moving every time they seemed to have settled in. In 1973 they retired to Kelowna to enjoy their remaining years together. While in Kelowna Mary was an avid gardener, enjoyed a hobby business making dry flower arrangements, and excelled annually winning over 20 blue ribbons for her food and craft entries in the Peachland Fall Fair.

Jumbo proponents proceed with scaled-back resort plan

Steve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

Glacier Resorts Ltd. has begun the process of amending its Master Plan for the Jumbo Glacier Resort project, scaling back the scope of the project to make it less than the 2,000-bed threshold that triggers a provincial environmental assessment process.

Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality received, during its Tuesday, September 15th council meeting, copies of two letters between Phedias Project Management Corp. president Oberto Oberti and provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) senior project manager Bill Hunter, the second of which contains revised drawings of the proposed Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort village along with statistics outlining 1,997 bed units built through three stages.

Neither of the letters was addressed to Jumbo council; the municipality simply received copies for information purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no actual proposal as a result of these correspondences, and in the meantime we (council) are waiting the outcome of negotiations between the province and the proponent,â&#x20AC;? said Jumbo mayor Greg Deck at the meeting.

The first of the two letters was sent by Mr. Hunter to Mr. Oberti on Wednesday, August 12th and, in it, Mr. Hunter says that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in response to a Glacier Resort Ltd. inquiry following the ex-

Glacier Resorts Ltd. has begun correspondence with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource on submitting an overview of a 1,997-bed version of Jumbo Glacier Resort. File photo piration of its environmental assessment certificate for the Jumbo Glacier Resort project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ministry has reviewed the Jumbo Glacier Resort Master Development Agreement and has determined that, consistent with Article 12 of the agreement, the proponent can submit a modified resort Master Plan to the ministry for review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will require a preliminary overview of the new proposal in order to determine specific Master Plan information requirements and the procedural steps of our review, including consultation requirements with other agencies and First Nations, going forward,â&#x20AC;? wrote Mr. Hunter, adding that such an overview would need to include balanced resort capacity; number of bed units; a phasing schedule; a spatial layout; an updated business plan reflecting the new reduced balanced resort capacity and reduced bed units; and updated data on projected skier visits and other market-based as-

sumptions.

The other letter, dated Friday September 4th, was sent from Mr. Oberti to Mr. Hunter and it contained the revised drawings and bed unit count.

In it, Mr. Oberti wrote that this correspondence addressed three of the points (bed units, phasing schedule and spatial layout) mentioned by Mr. Hunter in his August 12th letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working on the response to all the other points of your letter but we would like to share with you our approach as we move forward to facilitate your review and to prepare the responses to other points in your letter, starting with a resort village plan that is in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? wrote Mr. Oberti.

Neither Mr. Hunter nor Mr. Oberti mentioned the review process that the scaled-back proposal would be subject to by name, but ministry spokesperson Greig Bethel had previously indicated to The Pioneer that it would be FLRNOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Season Resort Policy.

for the three phases of the resort included 551 beds in the first stage, 917 in the next stage, and then a further 529 in the final of the three stages.

Among the 1,997 total beds are 24 bed and breakfast beds; 819 condominium beds; 180 duplex beds; 180 hotel beds; and 450 single-family chalet beds.

The statistics also include 298 employee bed units. Several other buildings are also outlined in the plans, including various sorts of service and utility buildings, amenities such as a place of worship, a firehall, a convention centre, a society building, an interpretive centre, at least four daylodges and a teahouse on top of one of the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glaciers.

Motorized access During the September 15th Jumbo council meeting, Glacier Resorts Ltd. vice-president Grant Costello gave an update to council on concerns raised at a previous council meeting by valley resident and longstanding Jumbo critic Jim Galloway about what Mr. Galloway sees as the resort proponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lacklustre efforts in keeping motorized vehicles out of the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controlled recreation area.

Mr. Costello said that three signs have been installed in the Upper Jumbo Valley and three in the Farmham Valley, and that a gate has been put up and locked. The lock was later broken off, so it was put back on, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing it to comply with conditions in our environmental assessment certificate, even though the certificate is expired,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Costello.

Jumbo chief administrative officer Mark Read said he could personally confirm that the lock was still on the gate as of Sunday, September 13th.

Then let renters help pay your mortgage.

Recently Canada Mortgage and House Corporation (CMHC) announced that when qualifying for a mortgage, homeowners could now count all of the income from their legal secondary unit(s) instead of the previous 50 per cent, making it easier to qualify and giving this home buying option a boost.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer feeling your way into the housing market or an existing one looking to lower your mortgage payment, here are five reasons why having renters help pay your mortgage is such an appealing option: 1. Some first-time buyers want to move directly into a single-family home and get mortgage assistance using a rental suite instead of purchasing a condo at a lower cost.

2. If you want to get your foot into the world of real estate without breaking the bank, a home with a rental suite can be a great start, especially if the area you happen to love is pricey.

3. Homeowners looking ahead to the future may want to lower their mortgage cost so they can channel money into other investment areas like RRSPs, TFSAs, RESPs. Or simply as a way to become mortgage free sooner!

4. Spending less on your mortgage can give you the freedom to change your lifestyle or follow your dreams, perhaps to travel, start a new business venture, or allow for the luxury of having a stay at home parent.

5. Rental suites are also great if you have ageing parents. You can keep them close without infringing on personal space. Keep in mind that if tenants are family members, lenders and insurers will not use the rental income for qualifying purposes.

Mortgage choice - monoline lenders Finding a perfect mortgage that fits your life is like finding the perfect home. It’s an important decision that requires a lot of

shopping around. That’s where we come in. With access to over 50 of Canada’s leading lenders, we are a one stop shop.

We work with major banks, credit unions, and national, regional and private lenders.

One specific lender type that we work with is called a “monoline” lender, which focuses just on mortgages and doesn’t take deposits. They don’t have other products to cross-sell, which differentiates them from a bank or credit union. They are an important part of the mortgage market because their mortgage products and low pricing improve consumer choice and ensure that our banks remain competitive.

Most monoline mortgages are only available through mortgage brokers, which is one of the reasons so many Canadians are turning to mortgage brokers for their purchases, refinances and renewals.

Happy Thanksgiving — The Thanksgiving holiday is a special time to pause and give thanks for the comforts of family and home. It’s so gratifying to know that so many will be celebrating in homes that we helped them achieve. Happy Thanksgiving!
