Crown stays charge in RCMP firearms trial TREVOR CRAWLEY

The trial of an RCMP officer ended abruptly as Crown counsel initiated a stay of proceedings on Wednesday morning in Cranbrook Supreme Court.

Richard Drought, who was on trial for careless use of a firearm, was visibly emotional as the courtroom erupted in cheers upon the announcement.

A stay of proceedings

is used when Crown counsel does not wish to move forward with prosecution of a charge.

There is a 12-month period that allows Crown counsel to move forward with prosecution, however, upon expiry of that time period, then the initial proceedings are considered to have never taken place.

Crown counsel Oleh Kuzma opened the seventh day of Drought’s

trial by announcing that new evidence had been heard that hadn’t been heard previously before.

“After assessing all the available evidence, the Crown has conclud-

ed that there is no substantial chance of conviction,” said Kuzma, a special prosecutor from Victoria who served as crown counsel for the case.

With the trial now over, it is up to the RCMP to decide whether or not to allow Drought to return to active duty, if he so wishes.

Drought, a 15-year

veteran of the RCMP, was on trial for a police shooting incident dating back to October 2012.

On Oct. 2, 2012, Drought was involved in a high-speed pursuit of a

stolen Toyota 4Runner that had been carjacked near Yahk, picking up chase outside Cranbrook near Elizabeth Lake.

Voters flood advance polls ARNE PETRYSHEN

Over the long weekend voters across the country cast their ballots in advanced voting ahead of the federal election day Oct. 19.

Election Canada officials have been surprised by the high turnout for advance polling, and that is no different in our riding.

Rob Switzer, Returning Officer for the Kootenay-Columbia riding, said the turnout for the advanced voting has been quite high.

“I don’t have an exact number,” Switzer said, as the boundaries in the riding were redistributed prior to this election.

Switzer previously worked in the British

Columbia Southern Interior riding, but was moved into this riding when the boundaries changed to bring in Nelson.

“My experience there told me that advanced polls shouldn’t be this busy,” Switzer said. “It was incredibly busy.”

For instance the poll in Kimberley on Thanksgiving Monday took 444 ballots.

“To me it’s just kind of staggering,” he said.

He said his election poll staff, at least those in the bigger communities like Cranbrook, Kimberley, Golden, Revelstoke, Nelson and Creston, were taking large numbers of ballots.

Charges stayed, ending trial Continued from page 1

The pursuit went through Cranbrook on Highway 3/95, until the stolen vehicle, which was being driven by Nickolas Bullock, turned onto Victoria Ave. with Drought still in pursuit.

The pursuit continued to a rural acreage near the College of the Rockies Gold Creek Campus after Bullock drove through a wooden fence and turned the vehicle around to retrace

his tracks.

Drought parked his RCMP cruiser at a gate close to where the fence had been smashed through and entered the property.

While testimony of what happened next varied between Bullock’s memory and a forensic firearms expert, the evidence showed that seven bullets struck the vehicle through the windshield from the

front passenger side angling towards the driver, while two more entered from the rear passenger window—again, angling towards the drivers seat.

Bullock was shot twice in the wrist and twice in the left shoulder. In total, Drought’s magazine was missing 11 rounds after it was seized by investigators.

During cross-examination of Bullock on Tuesday, defence counsel Neville McDougall

Dawn’s

suggested that Bullock drove directly at Drought as the 4Runner exited a cluster of trees, which he denied.

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) was called in to look at the situation—it was only the second investigation from the newly created office at the time—and a report was filed to the Criminal Justice Branch, which approved the charge in April 2013.

Annual charity boxing night coming up Arne Petryshen

Get your gloves up, because the third annual Charity Boxing Night is coming up Oct. 24 and tickets are still available.

“This is our third event, our third charity fight night that we’ve done,” said Tom White, from the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club. “Basically what happened is I had the Golden Gloves here one year, spent a whack load of money and our attendance was horrible, so I thought let’s have a charity fundraiser.”

And that’s what they did.

White said they had hoped to raise $5,000 and get some anonymous nominations.

“If you’re neighbour’s kid needs some ball gloves or cleats or skates or something, we can raise some money,” he said. “And it turned into this sort of monster. We helped out a ton of people who were down on their luck, had health issues, some people even cancer treatments.”

That first year they ended up raising $22,000 in the first year.

At the second event last

year, White said they didn’t expect to raise as much money, but ended up raising $29,000.

“What I was trying to do for the attendance was, was say hey, we’re a pretty good boxing club, we keep the rules pretty tight, we’re a notfor-profit organization, we’re all run by volunteers,” he said. “There’s no intimidation factor down there, we don’t allow people spitting and swearing and that kind of thing. It’s a very clean club.”

White went around to local business owners and offered training and sponsorship opportunities for donations for the event, with all funds going to the charity.

The night starts off with Townsman file photo around 10 amateur bouts.

“So there are some really big ticket items that will be auctioned off,” he said.

The event has been sold out the past two years. There are still tickets left for this year’s event.

Tickets are $35 for general seats.

White is hoping that members of the community come forward to purchase tickets.

“The most important thing right now is that this event will not be successful if we do not sell tickets, meaning there will not be money to hand out if we don’t sell tickets to the event,” he said.

“The business owners that have attended said it’s one of the funnest nights they’ve ever been to.”

To nominate someone to receive money from the charity, email Tom White at tom@frieghtlinercbk.com “Basically write a description of what kind of need the person is in, what’s their situation, and then give us a mailing address where we can send the cheque.”

Advance voter turnout high Continued from page 1 “Some more than others, but all were taking lots,” he said.

He said three out of the four polls in Cranbrook exceeded 1,100 voters over the course of the four days of advanced voting.

He said while advanced polling is always a busy time for the polling offices, this was the first time he has had to send out extra ballots to contend with the higher voter turnouts.

“In this case I sent out ballots based on my best guess of how much they were going to go over, thinking that voting would slow down on the last day, not tick up.

And I had to resupply several places, so that should give you an idea of how unexpectedly busy it was. It was so busy that I had to send out extra shipments of ballots, twice to some places.”

Switzer said the main change in the Elections Act that affects voting officials’ directives has to do with identification.

“There are always issues with people being able to supply proof of address,” he said. “Many people in our society have moved recently. And when you’ve moved recently it’s often difficult to show proof of your current address, so not unexpectedly there were people that were unable to do that and were unable to vote in advance because they were unable to show proof of their address.”

Switzer said he was aware of at least one individual who was turned away because she was unable to prove her address. She was also unable to take advantage of the attestation provision which would have allowed her to have someone who knows her and lives in the same polling division to attest to her address.

“One person may attest for one other person as long as they: a) know that person; and b) live in the same polling division,” he said.

Switzer said the main thing people should know for Monday is where to vote.

If they have received a voter information card that information will be listed on the card.

If they haven’t received a voter information card, they can call any of the three Elections offices in this riding to find out where they should go.

The numbers for the offices are: Cranbrook 1-866-754-5448; Nelson 1-866-545-0621; and Golden 1-866-271-5377.

Switzer noted photo ID is not a requirement to vote.

“They have to present one piece of government issued ID that shows all of the name and address portions, or two pieces of ID — one of which shows the name and address and the other which shows the name,” he said.

“It’s important to understand that under federal legislation, the voter registration card is not one of those documents.”

Last valley Greyhound gone CAROLYN GRANT

“They sent us a bulletin this week.”

Brown says freight won’t be affected, although it will wait in Golden about 12 hours longer for pick up.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. How does the City decide what City lands require Fuel Treatments?

The City has a Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan (CWPP) which has identified areas of wildfire risk to the community and residents. Most of the large City lands have received treatments and the City is currently requesting to amend the CWPP to include all City lands as well as the lands received from Teck. If the lands are classified a high hazard, they will be in the CWPP to be treated in order of priority. The City cannot work on private property, but homeowners can. A new program called ‘Fire Smart Communities Program’ provides information to residents to Fire Smart their properties, and can be found on the City of Kimberley webpage.

Brandon Blackmore, who is charged with removal of a child from Canada, made a brief appearance through his lawyer in Cranbrook Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Speaking via teleconference with crown counsel and Justice Paul J. Pearlman, Blackmore’s lawyer determined that a Rowbotham application—an application for a government-funded lawyer if legal aid is denied—was not necessary.

ALEX COOPER

ne of the key thrusts of this election campaign, beyond talk of the economy and distractions like the niqab issue, has been voting strategically to defeat the Stephen Harper government.

Left wing groups like LeadNow have been promoting the Vote Together campaign, where they connect people in different ridings to vote for the party with the best chance of beating the Harper Conservatives. They even commissioned a poll of 42 swing ridings to see which candidate had the best chance of defeating the Conservatives.

The idea being, of course, that unseating Harper is more important than voting for the candidate or party you like most.

Are you a centrist voter who thinks the NDP are a bunch of radical socialists that will bankrupt the country? Has your family been voting Liberal since time immemorial? In this riding, that doesn’t matter. Vote for the NDP anyway, because it’s all about defeating the Harper Conservatives. Likewise, in other ridings the push is to vote Liberal. Anything to get rid of Harper — so they say.

The sad thing is, we live in a system where a party can rule with impunity with less than 40 per cent of the vote. It happened in the 90s, when a divided right allowed Jean Chretien and the Liberal Party to earn three consecutive majorities. Recently, the Conservatives have exploited a divided left to rule for nine years — the last four with a majority.

If your guy is in power, it’s great. If he’s not, it leads to outright frustration and even anger. It’s reached the point where every party but the Conservatives are promising some form of proportional representation if they win the election.

So, it’s possible this election could represent a turning point in Canadian democracy. It could mean our first-past-the-post system, inherited from the British, could be scrapped. It could mean the end of ma-

jority governments, and the beginning of coalitions.

That brings me back to voting strategically. In this riding, that means the election is essentially a race between Conservative candidate David Wilks and NDP candidate Wayne Stetski. A poll conducted by Environics for LeadNow put them tied at 37 per cent, with the Liberals and Green party a fair distance back.

With Wilks, you’re getting a fairly typical Harper Conservative. He’s tough on crime and supports low taxes. He’s not hyper-partisan, but he hasn’t shown an independent streak, except for that brief moment three years ago when he pondered voting against the first Harper omnibus budget bill and becoming an independent MP. Since then, he’s been a dutiful backbencher, sending out press releases written by the Prime Ministers Office, but with his name attached to the top.

Where he has succeeded as an MP is addressing constituent concerns and bringing money to the riding. While he was not successful in getting funding to twin the Trans-Canada, he has brought back money for lots of other infrastructure projects. With party discipline getting more strict, this is arguably the most important role of an MP. Stetski was chosen as the NDP candidate after a single term as the mayor of Cranbrook. It’s impressive that a left-wing candidate was elected the mayor of Cranbrook, but he was quickly swept out of power after one term in a concerted effort to unseat him.

Stetski reminds me of Norm Macdonald, the NDP MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke. He’s earnest and soft-spoken, and comes across as very sincere, but he’s not above taking partisan shots at his opponents, particularly at Wilks. His campaign has been surprisingly negative.

Stetski’s biggest argument for voting for him is that he’s the only candidate that can beat the Conservatives. It’s probably true.

For decades, since Jim Abbott swept to

power in 1993, the NDP has been the second party in the riding. With its union base, it has the strongest organization of any party outside the Conservatives.

The Green Party and Liberal Party like to point to what happened in Alberta this spring, when the NDP won a surprise majority, that the past doesn’t dictate the future, and so you should vote for them. I don’t think that holds up in Kootenay-Columbia for two reasons. For one, Conservative popularity isn’t plummeting like it was in Alberta and there’s no alternate right-wing party to split the vote.

For another, while Justin Trudeau has resurrected the Liberal Party, the party is simply coming from too far behind in Kootenay-Columbia. The fact they’re even in the conversation is a positive sign compared to four years ago.

As for the Green Party, they suffer from the problem that a lot of progressive voters want to vote for them, but they don’t think they can win, so they’ll vote NDP. Many people I spoke to were very impressed with Bill Green at the Revelstoke election debate, but a lot of those same people are afraid of splitting the vote.

It comes down to Wilks and Stetski, or, more specifically, Harper or someone else.

With Harper, we know what we’ll get — a government that favours industry over the environment, is tough on crime, provides targeted tax credits, prefers ideology to evidence when crafting legislation, and puts politics above all else.

As for the other parties, it remains to be seen how they’ll govern. The Liberals are promising small deficits to invest in infrastructure, while the NDP is promising balanced budgets, despite some expensive spending promises.

The election is a referendum on the Harper government. The desire for change is there, whether it happens is the big unknown.

Ugly stain

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

So the good ol’ “impartial” Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has finally spoken on the federal election campaign in Kootenay-Columbia or maybe it was just a coincidence.

I’d like to think it was a “coincidence,” because that was one nasty letter written by Igor Gallyamov, who attacked NDP candidate Wayne Stetski in a very personal and vicious manner not usually seen in local campaigns.

In fact it was so malignant, I tried to find out more about the author and lo and behold thanks to Uncle Google I found out that Gallyamov is a director of the Cranbrook Chamber Commerce, a cosmic coincidence I’m sure.

Being a director of such a politically “impartial” organization, Gallyamov must have ran his letter by the Chamber board and they must have approved it.

Golly gee, that doesn’t seem very impartial does it? Does this mean the Chamber Board isn’t so impartial after all to approve such a vicious and partisan missive? Or did someone else write it and Gallyamov simply sign it at their behest?

Whatever the case, this incident has put an ugly stain on the local campaign that it didn’t deserve.

Gerry Warner Cranbrook

What’s at stake

Dear David Wilks, thank you for your service. Let it be known that this is not an attack on you, but rather an attack on the ideals that you publicly support.

First, I’d like to highlight your Conservative government’s lack of science based policy. During the school year I live near and volunteer in Vancouver’s troubled Downtown Eastside. An area that’s plagued by addiction, poverty, and desperation. Insite opened in 2003 and has reduced drug overdoses, HIV, and hepatitis.

Bill C-2 is the Conservatives’ latest attempt to close Insite. It’s a Bill that you have championed. You’ve stated that Bill C-2 is for “the common good of our neighbours across Canada.” Various published medical journal studies have concluded that “the common good” of residents in the Downtown Eastside is safety and public health.

Insite helps provide both of those basic human necessities and saves lives while reducing harm to residents of the Downtown Eastside. By attempting to shut Insite down you are not only refusing to listen to the highest court in Canada but you are also risking the lives of society’s most vulnerable.

Second, while governments around the world are drastically attempting to reduce their footprints and Greenhouse Gas emissions, Canada remains an embarrassing anomaly in the international community.

According to the World Resources Institute Canada is the worst per-capita greenhouse gas emitter among wealthy nations.

Mr. Wilks, your government has cut or drastically amended over 70 pieces of critical environmental legislation with the passage of one omnibus 2012 Bill - Bill C-38.

Before this “valiant” assault on the environment there were 2.5 million protected

lakes, rivers, and streams in Canada. After the Bill was made law, only 159 lakes, rivers, and streams are under protection in Canada. Few would argue with the fact that our waterways need protection in order to provide clean drinking and habitat for aquatic animals. Your government has destroyed those protections.

What’s at stake in this election is our country, our way of life, and our children’s and grandchildren’s future. This election is about restoring democracy, transparency, and accountability. This election is about making your voice heard! On October 19th, vote for the values that have made Canada a leader and an innovator on the international stage. Vote for a candidate that cares about Kootenay-Columbia and believes that he can make a difference in Ottawa.

Vote for Wayne Stetski!

The Good Ship ABC

The well intentioned, but not good, ship ABC is listing hopelessly in the stormy election waters of Kootenay Columbia. It’s difficult journey has been thwarted by strong gusts of opposition and rotting boards in the keel.

In a few days this election will be behind us and that will be a big relief. I can’t imagine how hard it has been on the candidates, but as a humble campaign worker, I am exhausted.

If I learned anything, it’s how much I dislike, no loathe, strategic voting. Because time and time again, it fails to deliver, anything.

Our antiquated, broken voting system is the problem. First-Past-The-Post works when there are two parties, one wins, one loses. Easy peasy. More than two parties and we get skewed results. And that’s when strategic elbows in.

Strategic sounds reasonable enough at first, why, I even signed up for it. But as they say, the devil is in the details. Which party to choose, based on what stats, from which year? Elections are about moving minds and changing numbers, about trust and values, not about taking a calculator to the booth. Strategic voting unravels because we don’t like other people telling us what to do. As tensions and words flare ‘tween mates, we retreat, bruised and battered but with even more resolve to vote our values.

Vote our values, isn’t that what it’s about? Look at the choices, pick the one that rings to you and vote for it. If we do anything else, we’re lying, not just to ourselves but to the country. How does a country of liars expect to get to the truth? Hey Strategic: walk the plank!

Fear-mongering?

Kootenay Columbia voters should be worried there are candidates running for office who don’t understand the giant benefit of the Trans Pacific Partnership.

dates who believe there’s a money tree somewhere won’t acknowledge that fifty percent of government services like health care, social services, education and roads come from Canada’s exports.

We are a trading nation! If we don’t negotiate international trade agreements, American or Australian competitors will have tariff advantage over Canada. It could be game over for Canadian exports.

Bill Bennett correctly observed, “If Canada had not signed the TPP, nations like Australia that also supply Asia with metallurgical coal could have sought penalties with the agreement partners against Canada for our met coal exports,” In fact, Australia has already completed a free trade agreement with China giving the Aussies a 3% advantage over Elk Valley product in new contracts. 20% of coal produced in the Elk Valley goes to China.

That’s eleven weeks production. It substantially supports over 25,000 jobs in mining, transport, equipment and other related sectors. Our local economy, our communities, our jobs depend on international markets.

Without a Green money tree how would we replace public revenue for healthcare and social services?

Is it fear mongering to note there are candidates who don’t comprehend trade?

The Good Ship CBC

Informed citizens are essential to democracy. Are we Canadians “informed?”

Who is informing us? Certainly not the secretive Harper government. Mainstream media? Canada’s mainstream media has become a near monopoly. Bell, Rogers, Postmedia, and so few others, own just about everything Canadians watch and read. Media guru Conrad Black tells where that leads: “Diversity of opinion and aggressive news gathering tend to disappear with the disappearance of competition, and public opinion could thereby become more of a hostage to private interests then a master of public policy.”

It’s no secret that Harper is out to kill the CBC. That would give Harper even more control over the flow of information. With the CBC gone, some special interest group with an unlimited advertising budget (like a political party?) could literally buy public opinion. You simply blast them with attack ads, distractions, and mis-information.

Stop Harper’s war on information. Vote for true democracy!

Angle parking

Angle parking is something of a two edged sword. While it provides added parking it forces a driver leaving the curb to back into oncoming traffic. Too, longer than average trucks cause additional traffic problems. If the city has a bylaw regarding vehicle length limits for angle parking areas it may be helpful to post them.

Ice exact revenge on visiting Warriors Luke Philp strikes early, Wyatt Hoflin shuts the door as Kootenay blanks Moose Jaw

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

In what could easily have been dubbed ‘Legend of the Guardians’, it was Kootenay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin standing triumphant Wednesday night.

Making 34 saves, the 20-year-old Hoflin out-duelled Moose Jaw Warriors goaltender Brody Willms to lead the Kootenay Ice (2-7-0-0) to a nail-biting 1-0 victory in Western Hockey League action at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook.

“Anytime you get in a situation like that, it’s kind of first one to blink is the one who is going to lose the game,” Hoflin said after Wednesday’s victory. “Luckily for me, it was at the other end tonight.

“It feels really good.

The way things were going -- last game [Saturday in Moose Jaw] we played a lot better than we had in the past.

Building off that, hopefully it’s a stepping stone to success for us.”

For the Ice, the win snapped a five-game losing streak and for Hoflin, it was his first victory of the 2015-16 campaign.

When the two teams met Saturday, the Warriors (4-1-1-1) collected a 4-3 victory while Hoflin was between the pipes, so Wednesday wasn’t just a matter of revenge for the home team as a whole.

Hoflin was called upon early and often, making a handful of key stops, particularly

against the top line for the Warriors -- featuring WHL Player of the Week Brayden Point, along with lanky Russian left wing Nikita Popugaev and Kootenay-born speedster Dryden Hunt.

The trio moved the puck with ease, creating a multitude of scoring opportunities throughout regulation, but were unable to penetrate Hoflin’s armour as he registered his first shutout of the season.

Hoflin turned aside 16 shots in a busy first period. A quiet, fourshot second period led into 14-shot barrage from the Warriors as they pressed in the third period.

“The first two periods cost us,” said Warriors defenceman Tanner Faith, who made his first return to Cranbrook after being traded by the Ice to Moose Jaw back on Sept. 23. “We came in and we weren’t prepared. We’re not going to win games only playing in the third period.”

Offense continues to come off the stick of Ice centre Luke Philp, and on this night, he did it all on his own.

Only 3:24 into the opening period, the 5-foot-10 pivot lugged the puck down the right wing before snapping an unassisted shot past the outstretched blocker of Willms.

The goal gave the hosts a 1-0 advantage they held until the final buzzer.

“Sometimes it’s tough to get out of losing streaks like that but we had a good effort to-

“Hof was a big part of it. He stood on his head back there for us. He played unreal and gave us our best chance. We were able to bend and not break in key situations.”

While the Warriors didn’t come out victorious Wednesday, the visitors hung in there all night, pressing down to the final buzzer with Willms on the bench.

When all was said and done, Willms -- a 17-year-old native of Coquitlam -- had turned aside 25 shots of his own and gone nearly toe-totoe with his much more experienced counterpart at the other end of the rink.

In Fleury’s stead, 20-year-old Tanner Lishchynsky was a welcome sight as he returned from a pre-season knee injury to make his 2015-16 debut Wednesday night.

Up front, right wing Jaedon Descheneau (upper body, indefinite) is awaiting results of further evaluation to determine the extent of his injury while rookie right wing Max Patterson (upper body, one week) was also unavailable.

The bulk of bodies in the hospital wing led to regular defenceman Jason Wenzel taking a tour at right wing alongside Vince Loschiavo and River Beattie

Wednesday night, while swingman Nathyn Mortlock showed his versatility in lining up at forward once again.

Next up, the Ice travel to Medicine Hat to face the Tigers Friday night, while the Warriors take on the Hitmen Thursday in Calgary.

Notes: The Ice power play went 0-for-4 Wednesday, while the Warriors went 0-for-5…

Only 1,769 fans took in Wednesday’s tilt, a franchise all-time low since the Kootenay Ice moved to Western Financial Place from the old Memorial Arena. The previous low was 1,901 set Oct. 31, 2014, when the Red Deer Rebels defeated the Ice 7-3. Attendance has steadily decreased in 2015-16,

dropping from 2,137 on opening night. Following Wednesday’s game, average attendance in Cranbrook this season is 1,967…

Blue Jays ride baseball karma in wild win over Texas Rangers Neil Davidson Canadian Press

enth-inning homer propelled the Jays into the American League Championship Series as baseball karma delivered Toronto an unforgettable 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Game 5 of the AL Division Series was filled with drama - and almost as much talk as play on the field before a riledup sellout crowd of 49,742 under the Rogers Centre roof.

The game lasted an intense three hours 37 minutes and seemed longer. The decisive seventh inning alone lasted 53 minutes.

When the dust settled, the Jays had rallied from a 2-0 hole to win three straight and will now face the Royals in Kansas City in Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday

TORONTO - When it was all over, Jose Bautista stood on a table, grabbed a bottle of champagne and poured it over his head.

It was only fitting. The 34-year-old Blue Jays slugger, who has waited so long to see his team prosper in the post-season, had delivered a wild ending to an even wilder game. A stiff drink was warranted - and needed.

“Bautista, he’s got the flair for the dramatic, you know,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said fondly. “On the national stage, it really showed off.”

Capping a deciding game filled with controversy, bad blood and just plain craziness, Bautista’s three-run sev-

night. It was Toronto’s first home playoff win since Joe Carter’s home run secured the 1993 World Series.

And baseball had a playoff game that will long be talked about, for the good and bad.

“It’s very rewarding for this group,” said Gibbons. “We thought we were too good to bow out in the first round. But they (the Rangers) were just as good over there.

“It’s special really for everybody around here because it’s been so long,” he added. “You can have a great year and if you bow out in that first round, it’s still a good accomplishment but it just doesn’t seem right. So we’re moving on and hopefully play well this next series.”

The Jays rushed the mound to celebrate

Later, wearing their ALDS championship T-shirts, players came out to high-five fans and celebrate on the mound.

Choo at the plate with two outs, Toronto catcher Russell Martin’s return throw back to the mound hit Choo’s bat in the box and flew off into the distance.

Odor raced home while the Jays players held their arms up in disbelief. Home plate umpire Dale Scott, who had called time, then awarded Odor the base - and the run - after a confab. As beer and garbage flew out of the stands, there was more talk and a review.

The ruling was the play stood - that Choo had not intentionally interfered so the ball was alive and in play. Martin was given a throwing error and the irate Jays, now trailing 3-2, filed a protest.

“That umpiring crew did a great job,” Gibbons said. “Those kinds of plays are never easy ... it’s a crazy play. I’ve never seen it before like that. But it ended up turning out all right.”

Scott said later his mistake was in calling time. But the eventual ruling was right.

“Even if I had not called timeout, he was on his way, so we scored the run,” the umpire said later.

By chance, Martin was up to open the bottom of the seventh. And karma kicked in with three straight Texas errors - one by first base-

man Mitch Moreland and two by shortstop Elvis Andrus - allowing Martin, Kevin Pillar and Ryan Goins to load the bases with none out.

“The baseball gods don’t lie,” said Jays pitcher David Price. “I don’t know who the baseball gods are, where they’re from, what country they’re from they don’t lie.”

The Rangers got pinch-runner Dalton Pompey out at home with the Rangers upset at the take-no-prisoners slide that took out catcher Chris Gimenez. Reliever Sam Dyson took over for Rangers ace Cole Hamels.

Josh Donaldson drove in Pillar on a field’s choice floater that just went over Odor’s glove to tied it at 3-3.

Bautista then slammed a three-run homer to settle the score, pausing dramatically to savour his handiwork before flipping the bat and trotting round the bases.

“I can’t really remember what was going through my mind, to be quite honest with you,” said Bautista.

“After I made contact ... I just enjoyed the moment, rounded the bases, got to the dugout.

And after all the guys stopped punching me and hitting me is when I kind of started realizing what had happened. I knew I did something

great for the team at the moment of impact because I knew I hit that ball pretty good, and I gave us the lead in a crucial moment so I was happy to do that.”

Dyson took umbrage at Bautista’s actions, jawing at Edwin Encarnacion, who was next up.

The benches and bullpen emptied, although nothing came of it.

The benches emptied again after the inning finally ended. Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle, who was in uniform but not on the playoff roster, was the only player ejected after the scuffles.

Texas put two men on in the eighth but closer Roberto Osuna ended the threat before wrapping up the ninth.

Osuna pointed and looked high at the sky well the roof - after the final out.

Rookie Rangers manager Jeff Banister, whose team had risen from last in the AL last season to AL West champions, spoke proudly of his team in a losing cause.

“Look, one inning won’t define who this ball club is and who they’ve been all year long,” he said.

The Jays are the 15th team in MLB history to force a Game 5 in a bestof-five series when down 0-2 and only the third to win after losing the first two games at home (the Yankees in 2001 and San Francisco Giants in 2012 also did it).

The tension had already been palpable from the get-go with the rally towel-waving crowd up and down like kids on a sugar high. On the field, anything debatable was reviewed, argued or at least discussed.

It was more like “The View” than Wednesday late afternoon baseball.

Choo homered for the Rangers, who also picked up single runs in the first and third.

Encarnacion hit a solo shot for the Jays, who answered with runs in the third and sixth.

The game was a rematch of Game 2 with 24-year-old Marcus Stroman going up against Hamels, the World Series MVP in 2008 with the Phillies.

Neither figured in the decision that day, with the Rangers winning 6-4 in 14 innings.

Ice hope ticketing initiatives will bring more fans Townsman Staff

The Kootenay Ice Hockey Club is hoping to bring more energy into the rafters of Western Financial Place by reminding fans in the East Kootenay of a wide variety of ticketing initiatives and opportunities that provide savings off the walkup ticket price.

“It’s a gathering place for the community.

When you look at it, there aren’t very many places where you’re going to get 2,500 people in one place at the same time,” said Chris Wahl, director of sales and public relations for the Kootenay Ice. “Whether you’re a business looking to reach a large audience or whether you’re somebody looking to get out and see friends and socialize, it’s a great place to do all of those things.

“For your entertainment value, you get to see some of the brightest young stars that

could end up being drafted into the National Hockey League. Over the last few years, fans have been blessed to see the likes of Sam Reinhart and if you go back further, there are other players that have worn our colours that have gone on to bright professional careers.

“It’s a high-calibre quality of hockey. It’s the highest calibre that you’ll see in the region.”

‘2-for-1 Tuesdays’ begin Oct. 20 (7 p.m.) when the Regina Pats visit Cranbrook. Fans can purchase two tickets for the price of one and a selection of concession items are also available from Coyote Jack’s at a two-for-one price tag.

Including the upcoming date with the Pats, the Ice host seven ‘2-for-1 Tuesdays’ this season.

Being a college student on a college budget doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the action.

College of the Rock-

ies students have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets through the college’s Campus Life department. College Night tickets are available for as low as $12 per ticket, with other options available including beverage and meal options.

The Ice will host seven more College Nights in 2015-16, the next coming Oct. 23 (7 p.m.) when the Saskatoon Blades visit Cranbrook.

“We try to keep things fresh,” Wahl said.

“We try to experiment and do different things, whether that’s during the intermission, whether it’s giveaways that we do in the stands.

As best we can, we’re trying to bring some energy into the building.

It’s a process. But at the same time, we’re cognizant of the fact that it is about more than just the game. You have to capture people’s attention and we’re looking at

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, October 15th, 2015 PUBLIC WASHROOMS IN CITY PARKS STARTING TO CLOSE FOR SEASON As the colder weather is upon us, all of the public washrooms in City parks around Cranbrook are in the process of being closed for the season. None of the outdoor public washrooms are designed to be open in the winter months as both the pipes and fixtures can freeze and crack causing significant damage and large costs to replace.

Those parks affected include: Rotary, Gyro, Kinsmen, Lionsview and Moir Parks, the Kinsmen Quad Ball Park and the Confederation Park Visitor’s Centre at Elizabeth Lake.

Public Works staff usually turns the water on at all City parks in early May until early October of each year. This is of course weather dependent, so if the threat of freezing temperatures is past then the washrooms are opened to the public.

If you have questions, please contact City of Cranbrook Public Works at 250-489-0218.’

Alouettes acquire QB Glenn from Roughriders Bill Beacon Canadian Press

MONTREAL - It will be up to veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn to try to get the Montreal Alouettes to the Canadian Football League playoffs.

The Alouettes, ravaged by injuries at quarterback, acquired the 36-year-old from the last-place Saskatchewan Roughriders for a fifth round draft pick on Wednesday. He got a contract extension through the 2016 season as part of the deal.

Coach and general manager Jim Popp hopes Glenn can pick up the team’s system and terminology in time to start a home game Sunday against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The Alouettes (5-9) have four regular season games left to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since the team returned to Montreal in 1996.

Popp made the deal ahead of the CFL trade deadline after rookie Rakeem Cato suffered a concussion in a 25-17 loss at home to the Toronto Argonauts on Monday.

Quarterbacks have been a disaster for Montreal this season. Starter Jonathan Crompton and backup Dan LeFevour were injured in the season opener.

Cato, Brandon Bridge, Tanner Marsh and Anthony Boone have seen action since then.

Glenn, who will be their seventh QB to take a snap, brings a wealth of CFL experience. The 15-year veteran has 3,455 career completions for 45,510 yards. He has been nearly everywhere in the CFL. He started in 2001 with Saskatchewan, moved to Winnipeg in 2004, to Hamilton in 2009, Calgary in 2012, B.C. in 2014 and back to Saskatchewan this season. The only team he’s never been part of is Edmonton.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

For the week of October 11 - 17

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1902 Ready for anything … D. Griffith, the Rocky Mountain gold monopolist, came over from Wild Horse last Monday with nearly $5,000 of gold dust. He rode in with a companion and both had revolvers ready for action. This amount is the result of the last clean up on his Wild Horse property.

About time … Walter Walcott, for a long time chef at the Cranbrook Hotel, is contemplating a vacation. “For more than three years I have worked seven days a week,” says Walter, “and I think I will take a few

weeks off and go over to Uncle Sam’s country again and mingle with the old boy’s whiskers. A man needs a rest once in a while.”

Ouch … Sing, the Chinese servant the home of A. Leitch, met with an unfortunate accident last Sunday. He had hitched up the ponies and started to drive them around to the front door as had been his custom, when they became frightened.

Sing lost his head and jumped out breaking one of his legs just above the ankle. He was taken to St. Eugene hospital and his injuries attended to. The horses stopped after running a few yards beyond the place where the Chinaman jumped.

1903

The news of my death … We saw Jim Wardner in Nelson last week, and he seems to be the same old Jim. When asked how he felt.

He said he had been enjoying himself reading his obituary notices, and at once asked for The Herald’s. It is not often that one has a chance to read what the public thinks of them after they are dead, and Mr. Wardner can read editorial notices of his supposed fatal sickness with a great deal of personal satisfaction. No paper had a bad word to say of him, and all spoke in praise of the man. Mr. Wardner is back to the Kootenays again, and up to his neck in mining schemes.

Set differences aside … It is foolish to mix up business with politics, and when the election is

over, peace should follow. If any person is foolish enough to be carried away by the excitement of the contest to say bitter things, he should make haste to apologize now that the campaign is over. If he can’t do that he never should mix up in a campaign.

A narrow escape …

Frank Byron, who is developing a gold property on upper Perry Creek, tells of a narrow escape several of them had one day last week. He had two friends spending a few days with him, Mr. and Mrs. Southworth, of the Territories, and that particular afternoon the three, with Mr. Austin, the assayer, were sitting in the company’s office, a log building built up against the face of the bank. Some men were hauling logs on the hill-

side above, and Mr. Byron had cautioned them to be careful, not to let any of the logs get away while above the camp. He had just spoken of the possible danger, and the lady asked what could be done in case an accident of that kind happened. “If you hear the men yell, duck for the log wall against the bank,” said Mr. Byron. The conversation passed to other things, but not five minutes had elapsed when terrific yelling was heard on the hill above, and a deep rumbling sound.

True to his advice, Mr. Byron cried. “Get to the wall,” and the four jumped to that side of the building and crouched on the floor closely to the logs, Three logs had gotten loose and came down the hill with horrible force, all striking the cabin. Two hit the heavy rafters and were thrown aside, but one broke through the shakes on the roof, and clashed into the room, striking exactly where Mrs. Southworth had been sitting. No one received a scratch, but

naturally all were frightened. The quickness of Mr. Byron in suggesting the means of escape prevented a terrible accident.

A skating rink? …

Cranbrook is now large enough to support a first class skating rink. There has been considerable talk along this line, but talk won’t build a rink. It takes money to do that, and the only way it can be raised is to place the proposition on a plain, business foundation. In other works, let a stock company be formed, This is the only way that a rink can be secured, If properly handled, it should be a paying business venture, The time to act is now, and the question to be decided is, “shall Cranbrook have a rink?”

Get behind him …

Dr. King will represent the district. It is time for a number of knockers to appreciate this fact.

Nothing is gained by dirty slurs at the man who is victorious in an election. He, as representative, does not represent any one part of the district, but the

Miss Edna Sutherland, and the elocutionist, Miss Merrielle G. Patton, the contralto, will appear at the Wentworth hall Wednesday evening, October 21, the net proceeds to be applied to Christ Church building fund. These two ladies have been received with enthusiasm throughout Canada, and the eastern press speak in the highest praise of their entertainments. They will undoubtedly be greeted by a big house on their appearance in Cranbrook.

Smallpox in Spokane … An outbreak of black smallpox is reported here and out of six cases two are already dead, and two more are not expected to recover, The disease is of the most virulent type ever seen in this country, and is causing the greatest consternation. The matter has been kept quiet for the past week on account of the fair but has now leaked out despite all precautions.

Dance school … A number of the young people of Cranbrook are organizing a dancing school and will meet every two weeks to learn to trip the light fantastic toe.

Caught in a rock slide ... J. J. Miller got mixed up in a rock slide at the works of the Wisconsin company on Perry Creek last Monday. He was working on a side hill, and the men were sluicing away the gravel beneath him.

Suddenly the bank gave away and a rock slide followed, carrying Miller with it. He was carried to the foot of the hill and completely buried in the rock. The men present got him out without loss of time, and found him badly cut and bruised, but apparently no serious injuries.

Gust Theis brought him in to the St. Eugene hospital that evening, and he is getting along all right. It was a narrow escape from death or a serious injury.

Analysis Germany gets sudden case of ‘compassion fatigue’

No

good deed goes unpunished.

Two months ago Chancellor Angela Merkel amazed the world by opening Germany’s borders to all the genuine refugees (mostly Syrians and Afghans) who could get that far. She must have known her own people well, because ordinary Germans showed extraordinary sympathy and generosity to the new arrivals.

Even when the first estimate of 800,000 refugees coming to Germany this year went up to 1.5 million, the “welcome culture” stayed strong. Only one month ago Merkel’s action still had the approval of half the population, with only 40 percent thinking her policy was wrong.

Now those numbers are reversed, and the voices of dissent are multiplying.

Even Horst Seehofer, the prime minister of the state of Bavaria and leader of the

Christian Social Union,(CDU), has lost patience, saying that “no society can cope with an influx on this scale.”

In fact, he’s theatening to challenge her policy before Germany’s Constitutional Court.

That’s just “compassion fatigue”, you might say, and you would be right. Bavarians have seen 175,000 refugees arrive in their midst in just the past month. That’s almost 1.5 percent of the state’s population in just thirty days. Many of them will move on to other states eventually – but another 175,000 will probably arrive in the coming month.

The scale of the refugee influx into Germany is almost unprecedented in modern European history: one and a half million people in six months (for the refugees only started arriving in large numbers in July). It’s as if the United States, with four times Germany’s population, were

Gwynne Dyer taking in one million Syrian and Afghan refugees every month. Americans would never accept that.

What’s surprising is not the fall in support for Merkel’s policy. It’s the fact that it is still so strong, even though no other member of the European Union is being anything like so generous in its refugee policy. (Britain has offered to take in 20,000 refugees over the next five years.) There must be something special about the German response.

There is certainly something special about modern German history, though most people elsewhere have forgotten it or never knew it.

Not the Nazis and the war, but what happened at the

end of the Second World War and just afterwards. As the Soviet army rolled west across eastern Europe in early 1945, huge numbers of ethnic Germans fled before it.

Hundreds of thousands of them died of cold, hunger and the constant bombing, but between six and eight million made it into what is now Germany before the fighting ended. Almost as many more were expelled from Eastern European countries in the following five years, mostly from Czechoslovakia and the parts of Germany (about a fifth of its current area) that had been given to Poland by the victors.Between 1945 and 1950 some twelve million German refugees arrived in Germany – a Germany that had been bombed flat and was desperately poor. Even food was scarce in the early post-war years.

But the Germans took the refugees in, shared what

they had with them, and together they gradually pulled their country out of the hole it had dug for itself.

Germans don’t like to dwell on this period of their country’s history, but it hasn’t been forgotten. Indeed, one-fifth of today’s Germans are those now elderly refugees and their children and grandchildren.

Deep down Germans have an understanding of what it is to be a refugee that no other Western Europeans can share.

Does this explain why Merkel did what she did?

Nobody can say except herself, and she isn’t saying.

She certainly hasn’t been a strong advocate of largescale immigration in the past.

At a meeting with young CDU party workers in Potsdam five years ago, she said that the idea of creating a multicultural society in Germany had failed utterly: “The concept that we are

now living side by side and are happy about it does not work.” Indeed, she even said that Germans had Christian values and “anyone who doesn’t accept that is in the wrong place here.”

But she grew up in the town of Templin in northern Brandenburg, in what was then East Germany. When she was a child and a young woman, that area, not very far from the new Polish border, had a population that was 40 percent refugees.

Does their own refugee heritage explain why half of Germany’s 80 million people still support a policy that, so long as it lasts, will be adding one and a half million more non-German-speaking Muslims to the country’s population each year. Yes, it probably does.

Snowbirds, seek out sunny Sorrento

I

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes of an ancient area, perfect to check out during the off-season

t’s that time again, time to start planning where to ‘over-winter’. If you are fortunate enough to be a Snowbird, or semi-retired, or just running away to escape winter, this is a destination to consider!

Sorrento, Italy. Overlooking the Bay of Naples in the south of Italy, Sorrento is situated on cliffs above the sea, with views of Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. This area has existed since 600 B.C. In the 1100s, it became a duchy of the Kingdom of Naples, and in 1861, was officially annexed to the new country of Italy.

Sorrento is the gateway for excursions to the Amalfi Coast (31 kilometres away), Capri, Positano, Salerno and Pompeii. Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. and covered the entire city of Pompeii with several meters of volcanic ash and pumice. The site

has been extensively excavated and a popular attraction.

Getting around is easy. The closest airport is Naples, and a one hour train or bus ride brings you to Sorrento. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the towns along the Amalfi Coast, as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia. Car rentals are available, but not necessary. There is a variety of accommodation types, including longstay apartments.

Sorrento enjoys a Mediterranean climate, mild winters and warm summers. Precipitation is highest in October and November. Winter is off-season, great for snowbirds and pricing, with temperatures ranging from 10-18C. Not beach weather, but great for hiking, exploring and living like a local. There are two main squares in Sorrento, Angelina Lauro and the Piazza Tasso – lots of

shops, restaurants, bars and local flavour. Via San Cesareo is the main shopping street and runs right through the piazza. The 14th century Cathedral is in the center of the city and boasts a beautiful clock tower.

Sorrento has a lively arts and culture vibe too. In the past, it was frequented by many poets and artists, such as Goethe, Nietzche and Wagner.

Songs have been dedicated to the beauty of Sorrento, sung by famous artists Caruso and Pavarotti.

Like hiking? The peninsula is surrounded by the Lattari Mountains, which hug the Amalfi Coast. There are many trails of all levels of difficulty. Are you a foodie? Enjoy a typical Mediterranean diet – oil, tomatoes, mozzarella, spices, fish, stuffed peppers, cannelloni, caprese salad, fried eggplant. Don’t forget dessert – almond or lemon

Sorrento is situated on cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples. cake, and wash it all down with regional wines or local liquor ‘Limoncello’! Nuts, olives and citrus fruit are all farmed here. Close by in Naples, you can try pizza – after all, this was

the birthplace of pizza!

So many choices!

As well as hiking and eating, there are lots of other things to do.

There’s golf and cycling.

There’s sailing school and boat rentals.

There’s shopping and nightlife. There’s cooking school. I love the one that advertises “Cooking School-Supper Club-Wine Bar” perfect, I’m never leaving!

Sorrento – what a great place to ‘over-winter’!

Do we have a right to be happy?

Anastasia Bartlet t

“I have a right to be happy!” says a woman leaving her husband for another man or screams a child when she doesn’t get the coveted gift.

Do we have a right to be happy? If you’re USAian you have a right to pursue happiness according to the American declaration of independence. However, whenever I hear “the pursuit of happiness” I see someone running around with a large net swiping fruitlessly at a butterfly. For me, happiness is an elusive fragile creature which is rarely caught and if it is, quickly dies.

Henry David Thoreau said “Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”

That’s been my expe-

rience.

Happiness comes as a whiff of basil while cooking a fried egg sandwich for my husband. It’s in the birdsong greeting the first bloom of a new day. It comes in the twinkle in my grandchild’s eye, a infant’s grin and the odour of fresh sheets. All these ignite a flash of unexpected happiness which can burn softly in my soul only because of something deeper.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23.

Happiness is not one of the fruits of the spirit.

It is superfluous to what is really important. For me, happiness can flare up and quickly burn out when it is not connected to the deeper state of being known as ‘joy’.

Being joyful doesn’t mean I have to smile and giggle all the time,

to be ‘up’ or ‘on’. I understand joy as a quiet contentment with whatever situation I may be in, knowing; “God will supply all (my) needs according to His riches in glory,” Phillipians 4:19 That’s the ideal. Unfortunately, there are times when I’m discontent, throw a pity-party and look for a happiness fix through shopping (thank the Lord for the Gleaners) or reading or TV, or exercising, all possible forms of addictive behaviours. Unfortunately, any happiness gained from these sources quickly dissipates, which then leads to further self-pity and deeper discontent since there is no joy.

With joy, fleeting happiness can take root, self-pity becomes godly sorrow for others’ difficulties and discontent disappears. With joy, I’m no longer dependent upon outside cir-

cumstances for my futile attempts at emotional stability. I am no longer “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine.....” Ephesians 4:14.

But inner joy takes time and effort to cultivate.

And not just joy, but all the fruits of the Spirit.

I once met a retired couple who travelled the world to where ever there was a ‘revival of the Holy Spirit’. They were deeply longing for a fuller relationship with God. They were searching for the ultimate experience to wash over them, hoping it would change the rest of their lives. But fruit can only grow with time and patience and lasting change can only come from the inside out.

They were chasing the butterfly and wouldn’t stand still long enough for it to settle. And it was sad that they didn’t see the butterflies at home.

Jamaica’s Marlon James wins Booker Prize for Marley-inspired ‘Brief History of Seven Killings’ Associated Press

LONDON - Marlon James became the first Jamaican winner of the prestigious Booker Prize for fiction Tuesday with a vivid, violent, exuberant and expletive-laden novel based on the attempted assassination of Bob Marley.

Michael Wood, chairman of the judging panel, said “A Brief History of Seven Killings” was “the most exciting book on the list” and a novel full of the “sheer pleasure” of language.

He said it had been the unanimous choice of the five judges.

James was awarded the 50,000 pound ($77,000) prize during a black-tie dinner at London’s medieval Guildhall. The 44-year-old author said he almost gave up writing more than a decade ago when his first novel, “John Crow’s Devil,” was rejected by 70 publishers.

He said winning the Booker Prize was “surreal,” and joked that he would spend the prize money on a tailor-made suit or “every William Faulkner novel in hardcover.”

“A Brief History of Seven Killings” charts political violence in Ja-

maica and the spread of crack cocaine in the U.S., and hinges on a 1976 attempt on the life of reggae superstar Marley identified in the book only as “The Singer.” The story is told in a cacophony of voices - from gangsters to ghosts, drug dealers to CIA agents and in dialects ranging from American English to Jamaican patois.

Critics have compared the novel to the stream-of-consciousness novels of William Faulkner and the hyper-violent movies of Quentin Tarantino, while James has cited Charles Dickens as an influence on his multi-character depiction of society.

Wood acknowledged that the book’s plentiful sex, violence and swearing might put off buyers who “like to give the Booker winners to their mother to read.”

But he said the novel’s verve and humour would win over readers.

Wood said although much of the subject matter is grim, “a lot of it is very, very funny.”

The Booker guarantees a big boost in sales for the winner, and can transform writers’ careers. When Hilary Man-

tel won for her Tudor saga “Wolf Hall” in 2009, she went from being a modestly successful novelist to a literary superstar.

James beat five other authors, including two Americans: Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Tyler, for the multi-generational family saga “A Spool of Blue Thread,” and Hawaiian writer Hanya Yanagihara for “A Little Life,” the story of four male friends, one of whom is a survivor of horrific child abuse.

The other finalists

were British writer Sunjeev Sahota’s immigrants’ story “The Year of the Runaways”; the fratricide fable “The Fishermen,” by Nigeria’s Chigozie Obioma; and British writer Tom McCarthy’s digital drama “Satin Island.”

This is the second year the prize has been open to English-language writers of all nationalities. It had previously been restricted to writers from Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth of former British colonies.

Jesus said, “If any man would save his life he must lose it.” (Matt 16:25) When I stop chasing happiness and instead seek God, no matter how hard the task, then joy will come and take root. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”

I need to stop being distracted by the things of the world which false-

ly claim to bring happiness. God says, “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10).

Moses told the people in Exodus 14:13, “Stand still and see the salvation of your Lord.” I need to put the hamster in my brain to bed and focus on God instead of the superficial things of the world.

Do I have a right to happiness? Not worldly happiness; why would I

want it? Through Christ, I have the opportunity to experience the joy of the Lord, the joy that brings strength and real happiness.

2

The supply management sector in BC (dairy, eggs, chickens, turkeys) has been protected by the agreement and by creative new programs announced by PM Harper.

The new access to Asian economies will provide a significant boost to our forestry, manufacturing, beef, agrifoods, seafood and other industries.

3

If Canada had not signed this agreement, nations like Australia that also supply Asia with metallurgical coal could have sought penalties within the agreement partners against Canada for our met coal exports, a huge blow to the Elk Valley coal industry. The TPP agreement is good for our region.

Mental Health Awareness By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Last week was Mental Health Awareness Week and as Naturopathic Doctors we are well trained to be part of a complete integrative health team. Mental health has many different causes and treatments and we are able to help assess and treat any vitamin, mineral or nutrient deficiencies that may be playing a role in serious mental health conditions.

Neurotransmitters for instance, are a major factor in mood and imbalance can lead to symptoms of depression or anxiety.

We have the ability to measure the levels of all the different neurotransmitters to treat any excess or deficiency directly as opposed to merely guessing or assuming that it is always low serotonin which is commonly treated using antidepressant medications.

Combining this test with hormone levels can give a complete picture of factors that work together to stabilize mood.

Common supplements that have been shown to improve mental health include omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin D, iron and vitamin B12. Recent research is starting to look at methylation of DNA and the active form of folic acid playing a significant role in mental health conditions.

Mental health is a very difficult topic to discuss and can often be hard to assess and treat. Mental health awareness week has helped improve this dialogue and with the tools mentioned above and the proper health care team to assist in individualizing the treatment plan a profound effect on the outcome of mental health conditions can be obtained. For more information please feel free to contact us anytime.

Live Life Well.

high school for Maddie and she was already well known around the school.

Her bright green eyes were framed with prescription glasses which made her look adorable. She was a really pretty girl to begin with; she always had perfect skin and hair, she was naturally pretty and never applied tons of makeup. She scribbled down some answers for math problems before looking up to realize she had gotten a text. She read it and looked up with concern. Maddie grabbed her books, stuffed them in her messenger bag, and ran home.

When she walked in the door she saw her father and her aunt sitting on the couch. Maddie sat down across from her father and aunt, “What’s the matter Dad? What’s wrong?”

Her dad looked up with red eyes, “Your Mom is dead.” He burst into tears, but Maddie didn’t cry; she didn’t even have teary eyes. “Oh okay then.” She had no expression whatsoever.

“What is wrong with you! Your mother is dead! You are the worst human being in the universe!” Her auntie stood up screaming in Maddie’s face but she did not flinch as she stared at her aunt with cold dead eyes.

Maddie’s dad sniffled “I guess she is ready now.” Her dad walked over to the phone, dialed a number and simply said: “It’s time.”

Her aunt stared at her brother worried. “Look Maddie something is going to happen to you, everything strange or that never made sense to you will soon, it will all come together, but please remember this. Do not struggle. This was your job from the beginning.”

Before Maddie could respond several military forces busted through the door. “Contain the weapon and return her to base!” one of the men shouted, then everything went black.

Maddie woke to several doctors surrounding her. One of the doctors noticed she was waking up and shouted something. Maddie was not concerned with what the man was saying but she was concerned why she could not feel her body. When she tried to lift her head, it was strapped to the table. Maddie did not bother to struggle as she just waited not smiling or frowning. She felt no anger in this

moment of time. Suddenly the table started to move until she was faced upwards and gave a chance to examine the room.

“Well hello, Maddie. You are probably wondering what is going on. You never cried when you were born which made you the perfect weapon.

We have secretly been building you up. Do you know those pills you take every morning because of your allergies? They are really for your brain to work faster than the average person and they have also been building up your body strength, and enhancing you beauty so you can distract on the battle field. And for the final piece we have just placed an unbreakable metal that is protecting your bones, not to mention the several weapons placed inside of you,” the general smirked.

Maddie smiled “Really. Well in that case.” Maddie broke through the metal restraining her. Maddie held up her hands which created a humming sound. Suddenly a blue beam of light came from the palms of her hands, which shot the solders and doctors like bowling pins. The shot also busted through many layers of the building. Many solders attempted to shoot her, but her skin deflected the bullets, sending them back were they were shot from. Maddie broke through the last few layers of the walls. She ran and ran faster than she could imagine thinking. “Where should I go? What will I do? I am going to be hunted down until the day I die. My whole life is a lie.” It all made sense to her now.

Why she never felt pain, why she never cried, why she didn’t understand feelings. “My whole life will never be the same because I am some stupid project!” she yelled. “They treated me as if I was not human!”

Maddie thought with the flame of hate burning inside. It was the first real emotion she ever had felt. This was it, the rest of her life was mean to be running and hiding, but she could not do that forever. Luckily for her she was no longer human; she was something else, not a monster, not a threat, but the protector of the world. Maddie looked at the sky and screamed “I am not a weapon of destruction. I decide.

I will protect those who can’t protect themselves!”

BY KAYLA MCARTHUR AGE 8

ne sunny day there was two boys.

The first boy was clumsy and his name was Jordon, he was eleven years old. The second boy was a bookworm and his name was Billy and Billy was also eleven years old. These two boys were friends even though they were completly opisites. Although they had one thing in common they both liked doing and that thing was.......BUILDING! One sunny thursday, two weeks after “schools out” Jordon and Billy were at the park together and Jordon said “I want to build something”, “So do I”, said Billy. So Jordon and Billy raced each other back to Billys house because they were having a sleepover. Billy looked all over his room trying to find something to build, until he finally found a package and said to Jordon “I found something to build”, “Wow, it’s a supercar!!!!” said Jordon looking over his shoulder. Soon both of them were racing down the front stairs and onto Billy’s front yard.

They started building

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2015 PAGE A23

right away and soon they were almost done when the supercar started turning blue and swirly and it started pulling Jordon and Billy in to the thing until everything was still, absolutely still.

Jordon and Billy woke up finding themselves in front of a large door that had a sign in it and it said: “Welcome to the castle in the land of Billdit.” When Billy and Jordon finished reading the sign Billy gestured Jordon to follow him. They pushed open the door and found themselves in a loooooooooong hallway. When they finished walking down the loooooooooong hallway they found themselves in front of a pair of large gold double-doors with three small pairs of double-doors on the side.

“Should we open the door?” said Jordon. “Lets do it!” said Billy. So together they opened the huge door to find themselves in what looked like a throne room because it had a throng and the person sitting on the throne was... Well it actually wasn’t a person it

The Quest to Build

was a giant...YODELING CHICKEN!?

“Well hello there my name is Gary. I am the king of the land of Billdit!” said Gary the yodling chicken.

When all of a sudden Jordon burst out “How

can we get back home?”.

“Mak-r get me the book.”

Said Gary when the door opened and three robots came into the room. “I only said Mak-r, Billdit and Boing go back to your rooms...and Mak-r once you give me the

book you can go to your room too.” Said Gary. So Mak-r gave the book to Gary and left the room.

“Ok, so in order to get you home you have to.......build me something of my choice! Then I will get you home! Ok

I’m going to get you to make me a........Rocketship!” said Gary. “I’ll give you one day to travel around the land of Billdit and I’ll give you only thirty dollors to spends and Mak-r, Billdit and Boing as your guide.

Good luck” said Gary as Jordon and Billy left the room.

Jordon and Billy found the robots waiting for them on the front step of the castle. “lets go!” said Billy and the were off. They started walking toward town and when they were almost there they saw a construction crew working on the road. Billy’s eyes lit up “We found the jackpot, there’s all sorts od stuff here!” cheered Billy. So Jordon and Billy grabbed a few pylons and a big culvert and continued on.

Then Billdit sadi “That’s great guys, it looks like you’ve got the shape, but how are you going to make it fly?”

They were walking down the street when Jordon said “Hey look, a garage sale maybe there’s an engine there.” So they

walked to the garage sale and saw a lawnmower for twenty dollars so they bought it. Just then Mak-r started taking it apart right on the lawn until he finally got the engine.

They started walking back toward the castle.

When they passed the construction sight. Billy noticed that they needed wings, so he said “We forgot the wings!! Buuut we could get wings at the construction sight!!”. So they walked over tothe construction sight and asked “May we please have a piece of wood?”

Yes you may,” said the worker and he gave Billy the wood and Billy, Jordon and the robots started walking back to the castle after putting together the rocketship.

When they finally got back to the castle and were in the throne room Gary said “Congratulations! You have completed you mission now I will say the magic words to get you home in the rocketship!”. So Billy and Jordon hopped into the rocketship and Gary said “Loay-arbra Cadabra!”.

Then the rocketship started to lift of and vanished into the clouds.

ARE YOU A SAVVY HOMEBUYER?

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.

Ready to become a savvy homeowner and let renters help pay your mortgage? Talk to me today and find out how!

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 crosssell, 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.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Several years ago, you printed a poem about organ donation.

I carried it until it ripped to shreds. I’m in end-stage renal failure and want people to be aware of the importance of organ donation. Please reprint it. -- Not Giving Up Dear Not: Here it is, with our hopes for your recovery: “To Remember Me” by Robert Noel Test (1926-1994) The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying.

At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.

When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don’t call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman.

Give my heart to a person whose own heart has pain.

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.

Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every corner of my brain.

Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows.

Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Upset in Montreal,” whose friend, “Rhonda,” has become rude and unsympathetic. Rhonda sounds just like my mom. Mom was wonderful, compassionate and caring until the past decade. She has some form of dementia and has lost all filters. She says anything that comes to mind, most of it rude, cruel or at the very least, inconsiderate.

Your advice to have “Upset” ask Rhonda when she’d last seen her doctor was spot-on. My bet is that Rhonda is beginning to suffer from dementia. -Wyoming Dear Wyoming: Any change in personality should send alarm signals to seek medical advice. Thank you.

Dwight Mervin LaFreniere; husband, father, grandpa, greatgrandpa, brother, uncle, friend and true-blue â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kootenay Manâ&#x20AC;? took his last breath surrounded by his family at his beloved home in Meadowbrook on Oct 8, 2015.

When God created Dad he made a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;manâ&#x20AC;?, a fine mixture of Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and John Wayneâ&#x20AC;Ś. all the men he so admired. Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior disposition was that of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough guyâ&#x20AC;?, a man who loved hunting, camping, horseback trips, operating heavy

Dwight LaFreniere equipment, prospecting, and enjoying a good bs session with friends and family while sipping a tall glass of whiskey.

What many didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about this proud â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frenchmanâ&#x20AC;? was that he had a heart and love for kids as big as Mother Theresaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. When it came to his grandchildren â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunting Grandpaâ&#x20AC;? would drop everything and anything to be with them. Always unselfish of his timeâ&#x20AC;Ś.Grandpa was proud to say he was busy baby-sitting as the kids always wanted to spend time with him. And who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, as time with grandpa included belly laughs on the floor, fishing in his pond for crayfish, playing in his loaders and dumptrucks, exploring his property, going for drives in the back-country to look for coyotes and feasting on ice cream and chocolates for lunch.

When the gates of heaven opened on the early morning of Oct 8, 2015, I would have imagined hundreds of children ran to meet and welcome you as their new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Angelâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś.. a lucky bunch they are!!

Know that we will never forget you â&#x20AC;ŚDwight, Dad, Grandpa, Buddy, Frenchy, Digger and little brother. You were one of a kind!

I just want to knowâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?Can a duck swim?â&#x20AC;? haha Until we meet again....

Dwight is survived by his high school sweetheart Dianne, daughter Cindy (granddaughter Taaylor, great grandson Lucas) Red Deer, daughter Lori (Allan Joe) grandson Braidon, granddaughter Tyra,- Kimberley, daughter Sherri (Mike Dolighan) granddaughter Jordan-Penticton, daughter Lisa, grandson Calvin, granddaughter Camryn - Cranbrook. Brother Albert (Blondie & Darlene) Creston, sister Judy (Harry Moulton) Kamloops and many nieces and nephews who he always enjoyed seeing.

Predeceased by father Albert & Catherine Lafreniere and sister Evelyne.

Obituaries Wayne Robert Ackerman December 26, 1938 – October 1, 2015

Wayne Robert Ackerman passed away peacefully on October 1, 2015.

Wayne was born to Elizabeth Helen Cumming and Robert Edward Ackerman on December 26, 1938 in Rorketon, MB. In 1946 the family moved to Canoe, BC, where Dad and his two surviving brothers, Rae and Ted, grew up and had many adventures on the small family farm.

In 1960, Wayne married his high school sweetheart Margaret Schulz; they were married for 21 years. After getting married, Wayne went on to become a successful Chartered Accountant. His career took him briefly to Kamloops and Williams Lake before settling in Prince George in 1964. He later moved to Vanderhoof, where he retired in 1996.

In 1997, for outstanding career achievements as well as outstanding service to the community and the profession, Wayne was awarded the designation of Fellow Chartered Accountant, an honour of which he was extremely proud.

Wayne and Marg had two children, Derek (1963) and Paige (1967). Derek and his wife Julie had two children, Troy and Kendra. He had to settle for grandcats from Paige and her husband Kirk who live in North Vancouver, BC. In 2006, Wayne moved to Cranbrook to be closer to family.

Over the years, Wayne volunteered countless hours of his time to Kiwanis, Rotary, and Ducks Unlimited. Wayne enjoyed travel, fishing, and watching the geese and other birds on the river, from his front yard in Vanderhoof. He also took it upon himself to adopt, feed, and care for, feral cats that took up residence on his property, naming each and enjoying their aloof companionship. Helping others, human or animal, was always a high priority; all who knew him will miss his gentle kindness, honesty, and generosity.

Wayne’s family would like to extend special gratitude to the staff at Joseph Creek Care Village for their exceptional level of care during the past four years.

Memorial donations are unnecessary, but may be given in Wayne’s honour to a reputable charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.

An informal gathering to celebrate Wayne’s life will be held at Burrard Yacht Club, 10 Gostick Place, North Vancouver, on Friday, November 6th from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Please join us to share your experiences, anecdotes, and any stories of the times you spent with our Dad. If you are unable to attend, please remember our Dad by raising a glass to him, or paying someone a kindness on his behalf.

Please feel free to share any cherished thoughts or memories of Dad with us by email to derek.ackerman@ shaw.ca or paige_ackerman@me.com.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

NICKELL, Harlan Dee August 24, 1959 October 5, 2015 Harlan Dee Nickell passed away peacefully on October 5, 2015 at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.

CRANBROOK COMMUNITY FALL JOB FAIR !

Dee was born on August 24, 1959 in Milden, Saskatchewan. The Nickell family moved to Cranbrook in 1966 and Dee became a fast friend to many. In his youth he enjoyed minor hockey and baseball, but his biggest thrill was helping his Dad to make ice at the old curling rink (now Kinsmen Arena) late at night and was proud to curl in the men’s league as a boy. He loved curling and all the camaraderie that went with it and met many dear friends. Dee hired on with CP Railway in 1977 but when it was discovered that he was only 18 he was let go and told to return in a few months, once he turned 19. He did just that, and after two years of being a brakeman, signed up for the Locomotive Engineers Training Program in Vancouver. At the time he held the distinction of being the youngest engineman in BC. He returned to Cranbrook in the early 80’s and drove dump truck for his Dad on his days off with CPR. He stepped away from his railway career in 1986 to work permanently alongside his Dad, who had a John Deere 450 cat and a dump truck. Father and son worked together nurturing and growing Nickell Excavating Ltd. and were known for their integrity, efficient work ethic and skilled knowledge. Dee had a gentle touch when operating his excavator that others envied. “Everyone stops what they’re doing and watches the big yellow machine do all the work” would be said in frustration at the end of a work day, but really his work was being admired. Although a prairie boy at heart, he had a deep love for the mountains.

Dee is sorely missed and survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Susan Hinds, his son Robert, daughter Ellen, brother Ron (Kathy) and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts & uncles. Dee was predeceased by his Dad & Mom, Vern & Joy Nickell, his sister Sue & her husband Geoff Blair. Dee was a kind-hearted man, loving husband and proud father. He will be incredibly missed by all who knew him.

Family and friends are cordially invited to a celebration of Dee’s life on Saturday, October 17th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm at the Cranbrook Curling Club. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Help Bats For Halloween Submit ted

As Halloween approaches, images of scary, blood-sucking bats become common place. Since the goal of the Kootenay Community Bat Project (KCBP) is to promote bat conservation, this is the perfect time of year to counter these bat myths and do something to help bats.

“The conservation of bats in BC has always been important since over half the species in this province are considered at risk” says Juliet Craig, Coordinating Biologist for the KCBP. “However, since the introduction of White Nose Syndrome, a disease that is devastating bat populations where it has spread, bat conservation is more important than ever.”

White Nose Syndrome (WNS) is a disease caused by an introduced fungus that was first detected in a cave in New York in 2006. Since it was discovered, it has spread to 26 states and 5 provinces in North America, decimating bat populations along the way. An estimated six million bats have died from this disease so far and the number continues to climb.

“Luckily White Nose Syndrome is not yet in BC” continues Craig, “But we are preparing for its arrival by raising awareness about bats, working with landowners who have bats in buildings, enhancing bat habitat, and monitoring populations.”

Building bat-houses is one way to encourage healthy bat populations.

With the decline of large trees and undisturbed rock features, some bat

species have adapted to using human-made structures, such as bat-houses. These small boxes have several crevices inside that provide a safe, dry habitat where bats can roost during summer months.

“Bat-houses are particularly important for maternity colonies where groups of female bats roost together to have their pup during the summer” states Craig. “A well-designed bat-house installed in a good location can provide a home for hundreds of bats.”

Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Valley Local

Conservation Fund, Habitat Stewardship Program, and the Public Conservation Assistance Fund, the KCBP provides educational programs on bats, conducts site visits to landowners with bats in buildings, and offers a program called “Building Homes for Bats” where they reimburse the cost of materials to residents who build and install two bat-houses on their property.

To find out more about the Building Homes for Bats reimbursement program or to download plans for a bat-house, visit www. kootenaybats.com.

Election 2015: Battle over pensions, pay stubs Tom Fletcher Black Press

Pensions and payroll deductions to finance them are a key battleground for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau sparked debate by endorsing the Ontario government’s plan to launch a provincial version of the Canada Pension Plan, with mandatory payroll deductions to finance it.

The Liberal Party platform says only that a Trudeau government “will work with the provinces and territories, workers, employers and retiree organizations to enhance the Canada Pension Plan.”

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has made a similar pledge to expand the CPP, noting that Ontario and Prince Edward Island have already put forward pension proposals. He plans to convene a meeting with provinces within six months of forming a

government.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper has rejected mandatory expansion, but has said he would consider a system of voluntary additional contributions to CPP. The Conservatives have promoted an increase in tax-free savings account limits to $10,000 per year and income splitting for married seniors.

Conservative Finance Minister Joe Oliver said for an employee earning $60,000 a year, the Ontario pension would reduce takehome pay by $1,000 a year, and similar payments by employers would lead to reduced employment.

The Green Party platform also promises to expand the CPP, but provides no details.

Trudeau and Mulcair have both denied Harper’s allegation that they plan to eliminate pension income splitting.

Both have also vowed to cancel the Conservative

plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security payments from 65 to 67, which would not take full effect until 2029.

OAS is not a pension plan, but a taxpayer-funded program that pays $565 per month for all seniors, in addition to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) that provides up to $766 per month to qualifying low-income seniors.

OAS is progressively taxed back for seniors whose combined income from other source exceeds $72,809.

In an interview last week, Harper said his government has provided the biggest increase in the GIS in 25 years, and defended the move to phase in a higher eligibility age for OAS, starting in 2023.

“We’re doing, frankly, what most other Western democratic countries do, make adjustments based on demographics,” Harper said.

Cataract surgery common and effective

Clouding of the lenses of the eyes, called cataracts, may require surgery.

Starting at 50, cataract risk rises And that risk only grows more significant as men and women get older.

A

s men and women age, their risk for cataracts increases. The National Eye Institute predicts that, by the year 2050, 50.2 million Americans will experience cataracts.

The lens of the eye is normally clear, but as a person ages, the lenses can begin to cloud and lead to impaired vision. Cataracts can cause blurry vision and increase the glare

from lights, affecting how a person can manage daily activities.

Cataracts also may make it more difficult for eye doctors to examine the back of the eye during routine visits to detect conditions such as age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.

Eye experts routinely recommend cataract surgery when cataracts interfere with daily activities, such as

driving, watching television or even reading medication bottles. Surgery is a safe and common way to treat cataracts.

The American Optometric Association says cataract surgery involves the removal of the natural lens of the eye, which is replaced with an artifical lens.

This clear, plastic intraocular lens, or IOL, requires no special maintenance and is designed to properly focus. In many cases, the eye doctor will make a small incision in the side of the cornea,

where he or she inserts a tiny probe. This device will use ultrasound waves to soften and break up the lens into small pieces, which are removed by suction in a process known as phacoemulsification.

The cataract lens is removed, but the thin, outer layers of the lens, called the lens capsule, are not touched.

Afterward, the IOL is placed in the lens capsule.

If the cataracts have advanced and phacoemulsification is not an option, the eye doctor will have to find

includes lenses

another way to remove the lens.

The IOLs used may be monofocal, fixed-focus, accommodating, and multifocal lenses, and which type of lens is best for a patient’s needs will be determined by the eye doctor.

Cataract surgery may only take 15 minutes, though patients will likely spend more time at the surgical facility

to allow for prep time and post-operative evaluation. Recovery will involve the use of medicated eye drops several times daily, and a protective eye shield should be used while sleeping.

As the eye recovers, a special pair of postoperative sunglasses are required to protect the eyes from bright light. Eye doctors also advise patients to avoid strenuous activity, including exercise, for at least the first week of recovery. Water

splashed in the eyes can cause infection, so swimming should be avoided and caution should be taken when bathing or showering.

All About Vision says it can take several weeks for the eye to heal sufficiently. If both eyes require surgery, doctors will often wait one to three weeks before performing surgery on the second eye.

ealthcare professionals note that the foods women eat can affect how they feel during menopause.

Some foods may reduce or eliminate troublesome symptoms, while others actually may make conditions worse.

Weight gain, hot flashes, lack of energy, and mood swings are some of the more widely known symptoms of menopause, which is the time when a woman’s menstrual cycle permanently ceases due to the natural depletion of ovarian follicles and oocytes. Elevated follicle stimulating hormone, or FSH, and low estrogen levels are consistent with menopause and can cause any number of symptoms. While hormone replacement therapy is one option,

women may find that changing their diets is enough to make them feel better and may even help them reduce their risk for certain diseases and better manage some of the negative side effects of menopause. · Osteoporosis: Menopausal women are at a greater risk for osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weaker and more brittle.

Increasing one’s intake of foods rich in calcium and vitamin D can help.

Calcium-rich foods include low-fat yogurt, sardines, broccoli, and firm tofu. · Weight gain: It’s possible to gain some weight during menopause. Data from the International Menopause Society and the Mayo Clinic point to decreases in metabolism as the source of menopausal

weight gain. Women should cut back on fatty foods and trim any visible fats from the foods they cook. Eating foods high in complex sources of fiber can help a person to feel full on less food. · Mood swings: Hormone fluctuations may lead to mood swings and feelings of anxiety or depression.

Improve mental wellbeing by increasing intake of foods rich in B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. Consuming whole grains, lentils, flaxseed, and oily fish can help.

· Risk for other diseases: Women who are menopausal are at an elevated risk for breast cancer and even cardiovascular disease.

The North American Menopause Society says such women should cut down on alcohol consumption, which can contribute to increased risk for both of these conditions.

Women who have between two and five drinks per day are one and a half times as likely to get breast cancer than women who don’t drink at all. · Fatigue: Foods can

control how the body sustains energy levels.

Sugary foods may provide a fast jolt of energy, but that boost often dwindles shortly thereafter. Look for carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables, as such carbs provide longer-lasting energy.

Boosting iron intake also may provide more pep and may even boost metabolism.

Smart food choices can help women reduce the severity of some uncomfortable symptoms and side effects of menopause.

Steps involved with estate planning Although inevitable, death is an emotional subject that’s difficult to discuss. While estate planning can make people uncomfortable, it is an essential part of securing assets for future generations and can make a death in the family easier for loved ones to handle.

Estate planning is an umbrella term that refers to a host of things that must be done prior to a person’s death, including writing a will and even making funeral arrangements. Estate planning attempts to eliminate financial uncertainties and maximize the value of an estate, and allows men and women to state their wishes with regard to long-term healthcare and guardianship for their children.

When done right, estate planning can prevent family feuds and ensure that the deceased’s estate stays in the hands of family rather than being relegated to the government. Estate planning can be a complex

process, so men and women should seek help to ensure the process goes smoothly.

Getting started

Estate planning should begin early in a person’s life, especially for young parents. It’s easy to talk about saving for a home or retirement, but it’s not so simple to discuss who will care for your children should you die while they are still minors.

Those who are not able to sort through these answers on their own should enlist the help of an attorney or a financial adviser, both of whom can take some of the emotion out of the discussion and put it in more practical terms.

The will

A will is an important component of estate planning. Without clearly and legally spelling out your wishes, there is no guarantee that those wishes will be honored.

It will be up to a state or province to make potentially life-alter-

ing decisions that can impact your surviving family members, and the only way to ensure your wishes will be carried out is to put them into a will.

Although men and women can write their own wills, many people prefer to seek the assistance of an attorney, who can make sure all necessary details are included in the will.

Medical directives

In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances.

Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity.

Funeral arrangements

Another aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements.

Many people prefer to make their own funeral and burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall on the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning may include selecting a plot, niche, casket or urn, determining type of service or even whether there be a service. Preplanning ensures your wishes are known and carried out.

It allows for paying in advance with payment plans available to fit any budget, leaving no financial burden on surviving family. Funerals in BC can cost as high as $12,000 or as low as $3500 for a basic cremation.

Leaving no questions and no bill for your loved ones truly is the last gift you give. Estate planning is a process that is difficult to discuss, but one that is essential to maximize your assets and ensure your end-of-life wishes are honored.

Popular Sports for Seniors

Age doesn’t have to stop older men and women from enjoying their favorite sports. In fact, remaining active can improve physical and mental health.

If a doctor has confirmed that it is okay to participate in sports, these activities can help men and women 50 and older enjoy friendly competition and physical activity.

Swimming

Fishing

A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints.

Fishing is more than just a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides additional cardiovascular exercise.

Cycling Many seniors are avid cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure. You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be.

AUTOMOTION Dozens of fossil teeth in Chinese cave show earliest sign of our species in southern Asia MALCOLM RIT TER Associated Press

NEW YORK - Dozens of fossil human teeth from a cave in China show that people lived in southern Asia more than 80,000 years ago, researchers report.

Before this, the earliest well-dated fossils firmly linked to our species in southern Asia were only around 45,000 years old.

Our species, Homo sapiens, is thought to have appeared in Africa around 200,000 years ago and later spread to other continents. The

details of that dispersal are still murky. The discovery in China’s Hunan province argues against a theory that the first wave reached southern Asia only about 60,000 years ago.

The finding may mean that people arrived in multiple waves, said Maria MartinonTorres of University College London, a study author.

She and authors from China and elsewhere reported the discovery of 47 teeth in the journal Nature on

Wednesday. They could not date the teeth directly, but analysis of nearby mineral samples and animal fossils indicated the teeth are somewhere between 80,000 and 120,000 years old.

The finding raises the question of why our species didn’t enter Europe until only about 40,000 to 45,000 years ago. Maybe Neanderthals crowded them out, basically out-competing them as hunter-gatherers until their populations started to fade, the

researchers suggest.

In a journal commentary, Robin Dennell of the University of Exeter in England suggests that cold winters might be a better explanation.

Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York, who was not part of the research, called the discovery potentially exciting. But given the implications, he said, the researchers must present a more detailed documentation of the geological setting of the

find, which is crucial for the age estimate.

Shara Bailey, an expert on the evolution of human teeth at New York University who also didn’t participate in the research, said some teeth appear to have cavities, which is unusual for humans living so long ago. Cavities aren’t common until the appearance of agriculture changed the human diet about 10,000 years ago, she said.

Cretaceous mammal Spinolestes (life reconstruction) in its natural environment of the Las Hoyas wetland. mammal discovered there.

“There were very special conditions present at Las Hoyas that allowed it to be preserved so well,” said Thomas Martin, a professor of paleontology at the University of Bonn, Germany.

Thanks to a phenomenon called phosphatic fossilization, which preserves even tiny details, the scientists were able to use electron microscopes to identify individual hair shafts including some

that had fused together into spines, like those of modern hedgehogs and porcupines.

The rat-sized creature, named Spinolestes xenarthrosus, also had large external ears that suggest it relied more on hearing than on eyesight, he said.

The findings add to scientists’ understanding of the diverse range of mammals that had evolved by that time, some 35 million years after the first true mammals emerged.

VANCOUVER - Members of a group that oversees treaties in British Columbia say they’re guiding more First Nations than ever through the process, but the provincial government must appoint a new leader to guide them forward.

The B.C. Treaty Commission released its annual report Tuesday, showing that 65 First Nations - 52 per cent of all First Nations in the province - have completed CANADIAN PRESS

treaties or are moving toward that goal.

“This really highlights the success of the process in British Columbia,” said acting chief commissioner Celeste Haldane of the commission that was established 22 years ago.

Four First Nations have signed preliminary agreements in the past fiscal year, including the Tsimshian First Nations, which includes the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum nations, the Wuikinuxv Nation and the Te’mexw Treaty Association.

Haldane said the commission has focused on several issues this year while working with an independent firm to determine the socio-economic impacts of treaties on First Nations.

The study has been ongoing for three years and involves interviews of First Nations, including some that have completed treaties, others that are in final negotiations and some that have not

B.C. Treaty Commission says chief commissioner needed for treaty process participated in the process.

“Some of the analysis is that clearly there are significant positive economic benefits when a nation is out from under the Indian Act and implementing their own governance moving forward,” Haldane said.

The commission has also been working on how to resolve overlapping land claims and is looking at possibly creating an expert panel to help deal with disputes.

poised to resolve these issues amongst themselves with the support and the dedication of the treaty commission,” Haldane said.

But having a dedicated leader will be key to the group’s future work, said commissioner Jerry Lampert.

“We’re very troubled by the fact that we have not seen progress in appointing a chief commissioner,” he said.

Clark said in March that she wanted the treaty process to go in a different direction.

“I don’t understand B.C.’s rationale for not wanting to appoint a chief commissioner,” Lampert said. Because the (treaty) process is going to continue.“

Blame game already on as Canada-U.S. softwood deal expires; no talks on horizon DIRK MEISSNER Canadian Press

VICTORIA - Officials in Canada and the United States appear to have resumed the acrimonious softwood trade dispute just where they left off in 2006 - with both sides blaming each other for failing to kick start negotiations.

A British Columbia government official said Tuesday the Americans have ignored Canada’s offers to renew or renegotiate the trade agreement.

But the U.S. Lumber Coalition, which represents American producers, said in a statement Canada has been unwilling to begin talks.

“If Canada continues to stay away from the negotiating table, the United States industry will eventually have no choice but to use our rights under U.S. trade laws to offset the unfair

advantages provided to Canadian industry,” said Charlie Thomas, a Mississippi lumber producer, in a coalition statement.

Nobody from the coalition was immediately available for comment.

The agreement expired Monday.

The B.C. official said Canada indicated it was interested in extending or renewing the existing softwood lumber agreement but has yet to receive a response.

The official said it appeared the Americans were focused on other trade deals, including the recent Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Susan Yurkovich of the B.C. Lumber Trade Council said a renewed or renegotiated softwood-lumber agreement benefits both countries’ lumber industries.

“We think it’s incum-

B.C. Premier Christy

Clark told the legislature last week the Americans have refused to negotiate despite two years of requests.

She said her first topic of discussion with Canada’s prime minister after next week’s fed-

eral election will focus on the importance of a renewed lumber deal.

American industry groups have long claimed Canada subsidizes its lumber production.

The 2006 agreement

was reached to regulate Canadian softwood exports to the U.S. It ended five years of court battles and returned $4 billion in duties collected by the U.S. on Canadian producers, more than half of which - $2.4 billion - was returned to B.C. companies.

The lumber coalition said in its statement that the 2006 softwood agreement is outdated and the alliance of large and small American lumber producers intends to work with its federal government to reach a new deal.

B.C. is Canada’s largest producer of softwood lumber, accounting for 55 per cent of the nation’s lumber exports to the U.S. The value of B.C. lumber exports annually to the U.S. is about $3 billion.

The province’s lum-

ber exports to Asia, particularly China, have increased in recent years, but the U.S. remains B.C.’s top lumber export market.

In 2006, B.C. lumber exports to the U.S. were valued at $4.3 billion, with lumber exports to China at $82 million. In 2014, B.C. lumber exports to the United States were $3 billion and $1.43 billion to China.

The expired agreement includes a standstill clause that prevents the U.S. from launching any trade action against Canadian producers for one year.

Yurkovich said the expired deal means dropped export duties on Canadian lumber, but she warns the Americans could be watching for price shifts and use any market changes to influence future negotiations.
