Air SAR conducts major exercise FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook Air Search and Rescue took part in a training exercise last week, using the complete range of activities that would normally take place during a search for a missing aircraft.

The October 27 exercise simulated thesearch for a fourseat Cessna 172, with one pilot and passenger, that went missing on a flight from Calgary to Cranbrook, assuming a crash in a field several miles north of the Cranbrook Airport.

The simulation included conducting an initial visual and electronic search through to SARTechs (Search and Rescue Technicians) and parachuting to the crash site.

With 18 vacant Early Childhood Educators (ECE) positions in the East Kootenay region, the East Kootenay Child Care Task Force (EKCCTF) anticipates families will be facing significant challenges to find child care.

The EKCCTF released the results of the first phase of East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment on October 16, while noting it’s difficult to retain qualified staff at community-based child care programs and that hiring qualified staff at the appropriate wage forces programs for children to be closed.

In fact, the East Kootenay region has the highest number of vacant early childhood positions in the interior of B.C., according to the EKCCTF. “Early learning and child care in rural communities in the East Kootenay are in crisis,” said Katherine Bonell, EKCCTF spokesperson.

“We don’t have enough skilled, qualified, certified ECEs to operate programs.”

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

Enrolment in the fall semester is up four per cent from last year at the College of the Rockies, as students continue to flood into popular trades and university transfer programs.

The trend in increased enrolment is a trend that’s continued from 2013, as numbers have grown ten and a half per cent since then.

Business Administration, Child, Youth and Family Studies, Tourism and Recreation Management and Kinesiology are areas that have seen the most significant growth, according to Jason Colombo, the COTR Registrar and Manager of Institutional Research.

Colombo also noted that the transfer system in B.C. makes it easy for students to complete some of their programs locally before finishing in other institutions.

“I would say every one of our academic, vocational and trades programs have transferability. If you look at trades, they’re Red Seal trades, so they’re inter-provincial and you can transfer your firstyear apprenticeship to any institution in B.C. or across the country,” Colombo said.

“As far as transferability with the health programs, again the

mobility within British Columbia is one of the best in the world, definitely in Canada as far as the B.C. Transfer system goes.”

A recent report by The British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfer (BCCAT), which looked at students who transferred to a degree-granting institution between 2008 and 2012, demonstrated a significant benefit of starting at College of the Rockies.

The report noted that students who started at COTR and transferred to another institution typically did better academically than their peers with a higher GPA. Additionally, 85 per cent of COTR students who’ve transferred have completed their degree—the highest completion rate of transfer students from any B.C. institution.

While trades, especially heavy-duty mechanics, remains popular, enrolment in other programs, such as the Child, Youth and Family Studies program has started to swell.

“Our CYFS programs are cohorted programs.

We can admit a certain number of students every year and so we’ve been meeting our maximums on that. We try to have students take those

programs on a full-time or full cohort basis, but many of our students are part-time learners and so the increase is due to two reasons.

One—more of the students are taking a greater course load and we also received funding for additional seats for the Educational Assistant program,” Colombo said.

College of the Rockies has also been ranked number one in the world in overall student satisfaction in the International Student Barometer, the largest annual survey of international students in the world, conducted by International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate).

“The i-graduate survey results point out the outstanding learning and teaching environment created by our faculty and also the exceptional support from everyone at the College, from the front door to our superb online environment,” Colombo said.

Bringing back the spirit of the Sock Hop A r n e Pe tryshen

Joseph Creek Village had a 50s/60s Sock Hop on Friday, with music, a vintage malt shop and even the front of a ‘57 Chevy on display.

Of the 102 residents at Joseph Creek, all who could make it came out to take part in the event — listening to the band and enjoying some refreshments from the good old days.

Joyce Turner, EK Regional Manager, said they had a request for the event in the suggestion box for residents.

“It was actually the only suggestion we received in the eight months I’ve been here, so we thought it kind of foolish not to act on it,” she said. “So between ourselves, family council and our recreation staff, we’ve come together and this is what we planned.”

She said the whole thing took a lot of planning and work to put together, and is all worth it to see the smiles and memories brought back for the residents.

The music was care of East West Connection. One of the band’s members has a family member who is a resi-

dent at Joseph Creek.

The 50s/60s theme included records dangling from the ceiling, a vintage Coca-Cola displays and of course the front of a ‘57 Chevy.

The front of the truck came from one of the resident’s own collections.

The soda shop went along with the food theme of the party as well, with the residents enjoying root beer and cream soda floats.

Kat Zorn, from Joseph Creek’s recreation department, said they started planning the event three months ago, even before the suggestion was received from the resident. She said it was a pleasant coincidence that the suggestion could be accommodated with the original plan.

Zorn said at first they had planned to construct a car, but she thought she could probably get an actual car for the event.

“I talked to Don Carter, because he’s a car buff,” she said. She asked if he had a hood and fenders from a 50s era car or truck. He said he did.

“All of a sudden it arrives out there, then we

Another resident and her husband collect the Coke memorabilia which made up the display.

“So then we put all this stuff together,” Zorn said.

Turner said she has been impressed with

the way the community gets behind events.

“It’s fantastic how much support from the community, be not family members or volunteers, that we do get is really remarkable,” she said. “It is very much appreciated, just the day-to-day things that our volunteers do to bring up the residents.”

Selkirk to present ‘Rent’ in April CAROLYN GRANT

For the past seven years, Kimberley students, primarily from Selkirk but oftentimes with an assist from McKim students, have presented a musical theater performance. Past shows have included old standards such as Oklahoma!, Broadway musicals like Les Miserables and musical comedy such as Legally Blond.

After a successful production of Beauty and the Beast last year, music teacher Sven Heyde wanted to try something different this year. And he has chosen a play with a different sort of appeal, the musical Rent.

Rent tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City’s East Village in th elate 1980s under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. It debuted in 1996 off Broadway. It moved on to Broadway and won a Tony for Best Musical during its 12 year run.

“It is definitely the most provocative show we’ve done,” said Heyde. “But it’s a hugely

powerful musical and we do try to go in different directions each year. The show is all music, there may be six spoken lines in the entire performance, so it’s very challenging for the kids.”

Selkirk will present the school edition of rent; shorter, and rated PG-13 rather than R. Heyde says his cast, which he describes as very strong, are all excited about the play. The cast of 20 is entirely Selkirk Students.

“AIDS is quite literally a character in this play. We talked about it together and saw how it still relates to certain prejudices today.

For instance, Prime Minister Delegate Trudeau has promised to look into the law that gay men can’t donate blood. The kids were appalled to hear that something not based in science but prejudice still exists. I hope Rent will make us look at our own issues that continue to plague us.”

Heyde says there could be some blow back on the choice of plays, but he hopes not.

“I don’t know. It’s always interesting to see what people com-

plain about. But I do think Rent is well enough known that people won’t be surprised to find mature content. I hope it challenges people a little to look at our own selves, at our own city and our own prejudices.”

“I think all art should cause people to think and be moved.”

This will be quite different from other productions in many ways. Instead of a full live orchestra, Rent requires a four person rock band, which is on stage with the actors. That means no conductor for the singers, which Heyde says will challenge them.

“I am playing drums for the band so I won’t be there out in front for the kids to look at, between them and the audience. In the past, if a verse or bar gets dropped, I would be there to help as a conductor.”

Heyde says that he will work on this during rehearsal time, creating mistakes so the singers learn how to deal with them and find a solution.

“Theatre is all about life skills in a variety of ways,” he said.

The East Kootenay Historical Association recently held its fall AGM at the Heritage Inn Oct. 25 with almost 30 members present. A financial report was given with a positive balance.

Historic photos, albums, and artifacts of the region were displayed and plans were drawn up for the group’s spring meeting and local tours in 2016. Guests included Cranbrook History Centre volunteer archivist Dave Humphrey and John Dumas, who entertained the group with a musical and video presentation of the Klondike gold rush in 1898 as well as a musical recitation of Robert Service’s famous poem, “The Cremation of Sam McGee.”

Successful work party at new Kimberley jump park Submi t ted

The work part a week ago Sunday was a success down at the new jump park in Kimberley, says volunteer Alex Buterman.

“Approximately 15 volunteers came to help shovel, pack and shape a few of the different lines in the park. We had stretched a garden hose from across the street/creek to get essential moisture onto the super dry dirt. This dirt with a large clay component packs really well. There is a kids “snake run” that links to the pump track below, designed for small bikes and run bikes which is packed and ready to ride.

A green run with gentle small tables, step up/step down with perfect rhythm between the features, also ready to ride. a larger blue line with larger step

ups, hip jump, tables which actually has two options in the beginning — yet to be packed and shaped — and a large black diamond line with large gaps, hip jump ect... (to be packed and shaped).

“Please don’t tamper with the jump lines or snake run. The snake run and green line have been packed and shaped on Sunday and already by Tuesday morning, a berm corner has been removed and reshaped. Very frustrating to have some expert input in the bike park and already people are reshaping it.

“Let’s give this park more than a days chance before we start undoing the work of professionals and volunteers alike.

Any questions or concerns feel free to contact Alex Buterman 250-427-3058.

Child care in crisis in rural areas in EK Continued from page 1

The EKCCTF has had representatives from East Kootenay Children First, East Kootenay Success By 6, East Kootenay Child Care Resource and Referral with other East Kootenay members who serve families and child care programs since 2013. The first phase of the East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment was funded by the Social Grants Program of the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) with fi-

nancial support from the EKCCTF and 45 Conversations.

“If there aren’t enough qualified ECEs, programs have to start reducing the number of children that can participate in the programs, which reduces revenue — it just creates this cyclical effect,” said Ms. Bonell. “Then programs can’t meet their budgetary requirements and it ends up closing.”

The assessment’s short-

term solutions were to pool resources to create a wage compensation grant which could result in increased wages for provincially licensed child care settings in the East Kootenay region; designate and fund fulltime spaces in post-secondary institutions that offer provincially accredited face-to-face childhood education programs within one year of registration; forgive student loans for graduates with ECE programs from

provincially accredited locations; and initiating rural communities living allowance for certified ECEs living outside the East Kootenay region who are willing to make a two-year commitment to serving the area.

While the assessment’s long-term solutions include using pooled resources to research the viability of moving to a fully funded and supported apprenticeship designation for early learning and child care in

B.C.; provide ongoing funding supports to address the immediate crisis in early learning and care in rural communities that include enhanced wages and working conditions for ECEs; and creating viable rural communities ECE learning and care with community stakeholders that can enhance the quality of early childhood development, education, learning and care. “The supply of child care is not sufficient to meet

the current or future child care needs of families in the area,” said Jane Boyd, lead of the EKCCTF assessment project, in a press release.

“Employees in the current child care system juggle challenging work situations, receive low wages and experience limited employment opportunities.”

At right: In September, the UVic East Kootenay Teacher Education Program held their fall orientation at Blue Lake Forestry Camp. Dr. Ralf St. Clair, the Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria was a special guest at the orientation. The purpose of the orientation was to establish a sense of community among the students and staff, to become familiar with the schedule for the year and to experience some of the curriculum driven, outdoor and environmental education experiences that are available at the camp. The programs offered at Blue Lake match very well with the focus of the new BC Curriculum.

‘Bird’s Eye View’ author to speak at Cranbrook Library November 16 For the Townsman

The author of an exciting new wartime novel called Bird’s Eye View will present a highly-entertaining talk and slide show of vintage photographs at the Cranbrook Public Library at 7 p.m. Monday, November 16.

Bird’s Eye View is the only novel ever written featuring a Canadian woman in uniform as the main character. It tells the story of Rose Jolliffe, a young woman from Saskatchewan whose hometown becomes an air training base.

Fired with patriotism, she joins the Royal Canadian Air Force herself – one of 50,000 Canadian women who enlisted to support the fighting men.

Rose travels overseas and becomes an interpreter of aerial photographs, spying on the enemy from the sky, searching out camouflaged bomb targets on the continent.

Author Elinor Florence of Invermere, B.C. grew up on a former wartime airfield near North Battleford, Saskatchewan, worked for newspapers in all four

western provinces, and was a regular contributor to Reader’s Digest for eight years. She also owned and published the Columbia Valley Pioneer newspaper in Invermere.

Elinor will present a personal account of how she became interested in wartime history, the contribution made by Canadian women, and some of the amazing discoveries made by the aerial photographic interpreters.

Her one-hour presentation, sponsored by the Kootenay Library Federation, is suitable for men, women and older children.

Following her presentation, Elinor will sign copies of her book.

Feel free to wear your wartime vintage duds – Elinor will be in costume!

Bird’s Eye View is her first novel, published by Dundurn Press of Toronto. It’s available from any bookstore, and as an e-book. Copies will also be available for purchase at the event. For more information, visit Elinor’s website at www. elinorflorence.com or call the public library at 250-426-4063.

Me and my knees against the world

T

here must be something radically wrong with my knees and I have no idea what it might be. For a person of my great age, my knees work just fine, thank you, and yet there must be something sacrilegious or even irreligious that is wrong about them; people representing gods simply cringe before them.

The recent missionaries who visited my place positively paled when, wearing my summer shorts, I opened my door to them.

The lady actually backed away, paling behind her make-up, then delivered her well-rehearsed speech perfectly. I didn’t actually concentrate on what she was trying to tell me because I was staring down at my knees wondering what was wrong with them. At least my fly wasn’t undone.

The man bravely attempted to continue but wandered off his script and got very confused, probably because of my prominent and naked knee-caps.

Two smartly dressed young men, probably from the Church of the Latter Day Saints, bolted when my son and I stood in the garden and waved cheerfully at them as they approached my house last summer. It may have been our bare chests and naked knees that drove them away but, there again, it may have been my son’s two large dogs. You just can’t tell.

It didn’t used to be like that, not the way I remember. When I was very young, our cub-scout-master used to march us into the local Church of England where the preacher smiled benevolently upon us, with our bare knees and all, then bored us to tears with long, tedious sermons and then ordered us to kneel quite a bit. Our cub master must have suffered too, and he did have extremely boney knees.

Peter We spent a great deal of Warland time in that church kneeling, apparently asking forgiveness for something that someone must have done ages before. I never did learn what it was my ancestors must have been up to but it must have been something pretty awful.

I don’t recall now if we had to kneel in grammar school when we said the lord’s prayer in English, French, Latin and even German but, if we were under sixty-six inches high we still had to wear shorts and thus expose our scarred, school boys’ knees. Incidentally, the prayers that we said made little sense at all but it did occur to me that the Germans, who were threatening us with annihilation at that time, were begging the same deity to help them.

The Catholic church even rejected my knees. We were in Rome, the eternal city and visiting the Vatican. My beloved was

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

keen on seeing the famous statues like La Pieta within the basilica of St Peter, so off she went. However, when I attempted to accompany her, I was rebuffed and expelled because of my shorts. I was beginning to think that the deities that we’d been told had created us didn’t favour the knee-job one iota.

Anyway, I backed off and found a shadowy alcove and waited, contemplating what it was that offended the catholic church so much about my knobby knees when the Pontiff himself came out on to a balcony and waved. He even waved at me but it was difficult, because of the distance between us, to tell if he was being sarcastic or not.

The people in charge of mosques found fault with my knees several times.

We had a few peeks into mosques in Turkey but, each time I attempted to enter, I was given a sort of skirt to wrap about my naked legs and thus conceal them.

But in Thailand I somehow got away with not wearing long pants. The Thais are mainly Therava Buddhists and were not offended by the knobbly knees of the visiting tourists who, I am told, are the principal source of cash in that country.

We visited lots of Wats while we were there that Christmas and, because Buddhism is a philosophy, so I guess the natives are philosophic about foreigners poking about in their ruins and baring their naked and pallid patellas.

Reconciliation: A meaningful step

Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears (B.C. Views, Oct. 28).

Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election.

The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of Aboriginal families who have lost loved ones as a result of many tragedies that have occurred on that road and across this country.

The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that

continue to occur in the Aboriginal population. It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations.

The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process.

The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation commitment. Those current and future problems

will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population.

Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that has dominated Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve.

Reconciliation Canada (reconciliationcanada.ca) is a key agent of change in this space and is dedicated to building meaningful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared prosperity. Getting informed is the first step. Stepping into this discourse is the next. I am stepping in.

Courtroom drama with Nancy Drew

In

Mike Selby

the winter of 1978 the Minneapolis police found a shoeless 11-year-old girl walking aimlessly down a snowy road. A few hours earlier she had been walking home from school when a man kidnapped her at knifepoint, and threw in the trunk of his car. While he waiting for her parents to pay the ransom he demanded, the young victim unscrewed the bolts of the car’s taillights, popped the trunk and escaped.

This courageous and remarkable girl stated she got the idea from a Nancy Drew book she had read. “She read something like 45 Nancy Drew books,” the police officer who found her told the press. “They seemed to have prepared her mind to deal with the situation and escape.”

While this case would grab the headlines across the United States (and unfortunately become fodder from numerous made-for-tv mysteries), another court case revolving around Nancy Drew was about to begin. This one was a lawsuit over the literary rights to legendary girl detective; pitting Simon & Schuster against fellow publisher Grosset & Dunlap. Although it only took a federal court to five days to issue a ruling, all kinds of long-kept secrets were exposed, including the existence of a secretive syndicate.

Nancy Drew herself needs no introduction. The teenage sleuth first appeared in the familiar yellow hardback in 1930s ‘The Secret of the Old Clock’ by Carolyn Keene. From then until 1979, Grosset & Dunlap published 56 mysteries, all written by Keene. From then onward Nancy Drew left the confines of hardcover print and burst into television shows, graphic novels, video games and feature films. She still regularly appears yellow hardback, and 80 million of them have been sold in dozens of

Mildred Benson surrounded by many of the books she has written. languages around the globe.

What came out of the Schuster/Dunlap lawsuit was that the iconic girl detective was the brainchild of Edward Stratemeyer, a book packager who had found success with the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys book series. Part of his success was to have his books secretly ghostwritten, with ‘secretly’ being the key part of his business plan. Although each Hardy Boys books claims to be written by Franklin W. Dixon, no such person exists. Dixon is a pseudonym of a variety of ghostwriters, including Canadian journalist Leslie McFarlane. Each writer would be paid a one-time fee for their efforts, and sign a non-disclosure agreement about authorship. These beloved books of generations of readers were part of the Stratemeyer Marketing Syndicate, which was never to be revealed by any of its poorly paid and non-disclosing ghost writers.

Edward Stratemeyer passed away in 1930, leaving the syndicate to his daughter Harriett Adams, who ran things much as her father did until 1979. By then it was clear that although Grosset & Dunlap made millions and millions from Nancy Drew, they refused to pay the standard graduated royalty rate

to the Stratemeyer Syndicate.

After decades of this treatment, Adams handed over all rights to Simon & Schuster, who offered her a much more equitable deal.

Grosset & Dunlap found all this to be unfair and sued, but they didn’t have much of a case. Although they were the publisher, Stratemeyer was the creator of Nancy Drew, and all intellectual property rights belonged to his daughter after his death. Drew’s author, Carolyn Keene, was also a pen name, with Harriet herself being the actual author of all original 56 books.

The case appeared very open and shut, but then Grosset & Dunlop called a force of nature named Mildred Benson to the stand.

“I am so sick of Nancy Drew I could just vomit,” Benson told the court.

Mildred Benson was one of those irritating people who squeeze the maximum out of every single minute of life, and — then in her mid 80s — resented being subpoenaed to a courtroom. She told the court she was employed by the Toledo Blade as an investigative reporter for the past 58 years. She had also been an olympic-class swimmer, a political activist, a commercial pilot, an avid golf-

er and keen scuba diver.

She also someone reluctantly admitted to writing 135 children’s books, including the first 23 Nancy Drew books.

No one in the court gasped louder than Harriet Adams, who yelled “I wrote the books, I wrote the books” before fainting.

Benson produced all the proof the court needed, outlines and contracts she had signed with Harriett’s father.

There was even a document from Warner Brothers Pictures, who could not proceed with a 1938 film series of Nancy Drew without Benson’s consent.

While this shifted the true identify of Carolyn Keene, it did little to help Grosset & Dunlap.

On May 27th, 1980, the court found in favour of Simon & Schuster.

It was also the day fans of the series began to credit Mildred Benson with creating their beloved character instead of Harriett Adams and her father, even though Adams still insisted she wrote the original books until her death in 1982.

Benson would have been happy to let her have it, if she had not been called to testify under oath. She was incensed that a bunch of adults would be “spending their time and tremendous sums of money wasting their time tracking down her old books, when they could be out doing something instead of paying homage to a dusty relic like Nancy Drew.”

“We have finally heard the last of Nancy Drew” Benson ended her speech to reporters as she exited the courtroom.

She hoped to put in a round of gold before she swam some laps. Had she not been so busy, she would have caught the third season of ABC’s Emmy-winning ‘Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew” on television.

Ice battle but fall to Wheat Kings, Thunderbirds Kootenay Ice claim overitme point Friday against Brandon before falling to Seattle Saturday

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

If playing back-toback games within a 19hour period wasn’t challenging enough, the Kootenay Ice faced two of the WHL’s toughest this weekend as the Brandon Wheat Kings and Seattle Thunderbirds visited Western Financial Place.

The Ice managed one of a possible four points over the weekend set, falling to the Wheat Kings 3-2 in overtime Friday before dropping a 5-2 decision to the Thunderbirds Saturday afternoon.

“We showed that we can play with those teams,” said Ice defenceman Bryan Allbee Saturday afternoon.

“We took Brandon to overtime and I think we had a lot of chances to win that game as well. “[Saturday against Seattle], even though we lost, when we’re playing our game we can compete with those teams and that’s a pretty big positive to take out of it.

We know we can do it, we’ve just got to play that way and find a way through 60 minutes.”

Allbee was a catalyst for the offense Saturday, manufacturing the first goal of the game with a heavy point shot that was redirected by forward Austin Wellsby for a 1-0 Ice lead.

Unfortunately for the home team, the Thunderbirds tallied five straight to take a commanding lead, before Allbee added a late power-play goal in the third period to make it a 5-2 final tally.

A couple quick second period strikes from the Thunderbirds changed the complexion of the game and it was the visitor’s top line doing all the damage.

Only 13 seconds into the middle period, forward Nolan Volcan went hard to the net and was rewarded, redirecting a point shot from defenceman Jared Hauf to give the Thunderbirds a 2-1 lead.

Only 1:09 had ticked off the clock after Volcan’s marker before Mathew Barzal deflected another point shot past a helpless Wyatt

Hoflin and just like that, Seattle was out to a 3-1 lead early in the second period.

“We had a five-minute lapse there, right at the beginning of [the second period],” Allbee said. “They capitalized early then we got back to what we were doing but for some reason, for three or four minutes there, we got back to bad habits. Good teams are going to capitalize on those chances.

“We’ve got to find a way to play a full 60 [minutes]. That second period really hurt us.”

Thunderbirds forward Ryan Gropp extended the lead to 4-1, ringing a hot shot off the iron and past Hoflin before the second period came to a close.

Hoflin made 30 saves in the loss, while Flodell was good on 22 of 24.

Perhaps the highlight of the weekend came towards the midway mark of the third period Saturday afternoon.

With Seattle’s top line buzzing and moving the puck efficiently in the offensive zone, defenceman Turner Ottenbreit took a backdoor pass. Staring down an empty net with Hoflin swimming, the Thunderbirds blue-liner fired low along the ice, only to have Hoflin reach back and pull the puck off the goal line with the paddle of his stick.

The effort from Hoflin will certainly stand as a save of the year candidate, and very well could take the cake. It electrified the 1,788 in attendance at Western Financial Place.

It was tough sledding against a tough opponent on the heels of a hard-fought Friday night tilt with the Wheat Kings.

“There are good parts and then there are parts that aren’t good,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Saturday afternoon.

“We have to take the things we didn’t like and learn from them. For our team, it’s understanding that you’ve got to know your body.

“We looked tired.

When that happens — and it’s going to happen over the course of the

Ice forward Max Patterson (#24) thinks he’s scored, but with Jared Legien (#19) piled on top of Thunderbirds goaltender Logan Flodell, the goal was disallowed due to incidental contact. Flodell and the Thunderbirds went on to a 5-2 victory Saturday afternoon at Western Financial Place. year — you have to adjust the way you play the game, be a little more basic and follow the plan that’s laid out because your brain isn’t going to react and think as quickly.”

Friday night, the Wheat Kings used overtime to slip past the Ice. Ice winger Zak Zborosky was on the case once again, putting the first goal on the board for the home team before setting up the game-tying marker late in regulation.

“Compared to the last time we played these guys, we’re a totally different team and we battled all night,” Zborosky said Friday. “We played these guys hard and, yeah, it would have been nice to get the win, but getting the one point is good.”

After falling behind 2-1 late in the third period as Nolan Patrick put the visitors up with a power-play goal, Zborosky made a nice move in tight before slipping a beautiful feed to captain Luke Philp who roofed one up on over Wheat Kings goaltender Logan Thompson to tie the game 2-2 with only 1:39 on the clock, eventually forcing overtime.

In the extra period, the two teams exchanged scoring oppor-

tunities before Wheat Kings captain John Quenneville skated in alone on Hoflin, beating the Ice netminder to claim the bonus point.

“We had our chances to win it in overtime,” Pierce said Friday. “Unfortunately we didn’t.

“We talked about wanting to push the pace more and I think that’s a good approach — go and attack. You’ve got to play to win. If you sit back and you’re afraid to lose the game, it’s going to hurt you. I thought we did a good job. We went after it tonight. We out chanced them in overtime, they just capitalized on theirs.”

Wheat Kings forward Tyler Coulter opened the scoring in the first period.

Hoflin made 29 saves, while Wheat Kings goaltender Logan Thompson turned aside 20 pucks.

The Ice will get in a full week of practice before hosting the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday, Nov. 6 at Western Financial Place (7 p.m.).

Local fighter makes Muay Thai debut in Calgary Cranbrook’s Tyson Hirscher drops debut bout against Winnipeg’s Kevin McCarthey

For The Townsman

Cranbrook fighter Tyson Hirscher is not a new name in combat sports throughout the East Kootenay.

Fighting out of Huncar’s Fighting Arts, Hirscher has been making waves in the west, making a name for himself locally, nationally and at the world level by winning gold at the WKC Kickboxing World Championships.

Since winning gold at the WKC championships in 2014, Hirscher has decided to step up his career and begin fighting in the amateur ranks of Muay Thai. The Cranbrook fighter made his debut showing Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Journey Fight Series 13 show in Calgary, Alta., where he

took on Kevin McCarthey of Winnipeg, Man. The Journey Fight Series is one of Canada’s biggest Muay Thai venues, making it a special opportunity for Hirscher to be invited by promoter Trevor Smandych.

Coming into the fight, Hirscher showed great composure considering he was considerably lighter than his opponent.

McCarthey, who fights out of Ultimate Muay Thai in Winnipeg, was pushed back early in the bout, as Hirscher immediately went to work using a series of punches.

Towards the end of the opening round, Hirscher took a hard left from McCarthey before receiving a flurry of hits that dropped him to the

mat, but didn’t keep him down.

In the second round, McCarthey scored two knockdowns and the fight appeared over, but Hirscher continued to battle, weathering a further storm from his opponent.

The third round brought the best from Hirscher as he kept his distance and set a frantic pace.

The Cranbrook native landed some hard kicks, including a beautiful straight kick right up the middle that connected on McCarthey’s chin, followed by a swift and hard right hand punch.

Though Hirscher’s heart won him the third round, it was not enough to claim the bout as he lost a unanimous decision to McCarthey.

Chiefs dismantle Lions in NFL’s last London outing of 2015 regular season Chris Lehourites Associated Press

LONDON - When Alex Smith had no options left, he ran. And he ran far.

The Kansas City quarterback carried the ball five times and gained 78 yards, including a career-high 49-yard scramble in the second quarter that set up his 12-yard touchdown run.

With a comfortable lead in hand, Smith settled into his usual role, throwing for 145 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the Chiefs to a 45-10 victory over the Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium in the last of three regular-season NFL games in London.

“We got a lot of guys with a lot of different strengths,” Smith said.

“We can present a lot to a defence. It’s hard for them to defend.”

De’Anthony Thomas,

Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware also rushed for touchdowns the first time the Chiefs had four different players rush for scores in the same game since 1960.

Thomas ended up with 100 total yards, while West ran for 97. Travis Kelce and Jeremy Maclin caught the two TD passes in the second half.

“Alex was putting the ball on the money today and Charcandrick was running north,” said Kelce, who had six receptions for 49 yards.

The Chiefs (3-5) were at Wembley for the first time, while the Lions (1-7) played in London for the second straight season.

The Lions were playing for the first time since offensive co-ordinator Jim Bob Cooter took over for the fired Joe Lombardi. And although the offence got moving on the opening possession, it stalled

horribly after that.

Matthew Stafford threw for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Calvin Johnson had 85 receiving yards, while Joique Bell ran for 56. But after the Lions took a 3-0 lead on 35-yard field goal from Matt Prater, Detroit was hapless with the ball.

“Not a good outing, obviously. An understatement,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “We ran the ball decently early on, but we reached the point where we wouldn’t be able to regain lost ground quickly enough to keep running.”

The Kansas City pass rush posed huge problems for the Lions, and Stafford’s two interceptions resulted in 10 points going the other way. He was sacked six times, including on fourth-and-8 near midfield early in the fourth quarter trailing 31-3.

Smith also got tackled a few times, mainly because he was running effectively and picking up some key yardage.

The quarterback helped set up the first touchdown by scrambling 8 yards for a first down.

On the next play, Thomas ran in from the 10.

At the start of the second quarter, Smith ran for a career-high 49 yards to open a drive.

On third-and-10 from the 12, Smith scrambled into the left corner to make it 14-3.

On the defensive side, Sean Smith and Justin Houston both picked off passes from Stafford. Smith’s interception resulted in a 33yard field goal from Cairo Santos. Houston’s pick set up West’s 8-yard TD run up the middle.

NOTES: Attendance was 83,624, the smallest of the crowds at this year’s three regular-season games at Wembley.

Habs lose Kenyan runners sweep titles at New York City Marathon Price to injury R achel Cohen Associated Press

NEW YORK - Kenya’s Stanley Biwott and Mary Keitany swept the titles at the New York City Marathon on Sunday.

Keitany became the first woman to repeat since Paula Radcliffe in 2008.

Biwott won his first major marathon title after placing second in London last year. He finished in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 34 seconds, beating countryman Geoffrey Kamworor by 14 seconds. Reigning Boston Marathon winner Lelisa Desisa was third and defending champion was Wilson Kipsang fourth.

Keitany finished in 2:24:25, beating Ethiopia’s Aselefech Mergia by 67 seconds for the largest margin of victory since Radcliffe’s 2008 title. She pulled away around the 21-mile mark to become the

eighth woman to win more than once in New York. Ethiopia’s Tigist Tufa took third.

Keitany, a two-time London Marathon champ, had twice finished third in New York before breaking through last year when she won by just 3 seconds. That was her first marathon since 2012 because of the birth of her second child.

Mergia is also coming back from a long break. Her daughter was born in July 2013 and she didn’t run another marathon until winning in Dubai in January.

Laura Thweatt of the U.S. was seventh in her marathon debut. In the men’s race, 40-year-old American Meb Keflezighi, the 2009 champ, was also seventh.

More than 50,000 runners are expected to finish the 45th running of NYC Marathon, completing the 26.2 miles through five boroughs.

Plan ahead. Check weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is winter ready and drive for the conditions.

Know before you go.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be out at least a week with a lower-body injury.

Canadiens coach Michel Therrien told reporters that Price suffered the injury in Montreal’s 4-3 loss in Edmonton on Thursday.

Rookie Mike Condon will make a second consecutive start in the Canadiens’ home game Sunday against Winnipeg.

The Habs have three more home games coming up. Ottawa is at Montreal Tuesday, followed by the New York Rangers on Thursday and archrival Boston on Saturday.

Price is 7-2 with a 2.01 goals-against average this season for Montreal.

The 25-year-old Condon is 3-0 with a 1.67 goals against average and a .944 save percentage. He backstopped Montreal to a 6-2 win in Calgary on Friday night.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A conversation points you in a new direction, which allows for more creativity and freedom.

Tension builds only because you are set on achieving a certain result. Listen to constructive feedback, and allow your imagination to soar. Tonight: Don’t act like it is Monday night.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others won’t hesitate to give you feedback. Pay attention to which areas of your life are being discussed. Do you think that perhaps you need to make an adjustment to one or more of them? Emphasize security and long-term concerns. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to others, especially if you need some help or advice about an important decision. A different perspective will be useful. Listen carefully to the goings-on of others’ lives in the process. Don’t allow too much chaos to run through your day.

Tonight: Visit with a pal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have very different creative ideas from those of others. You also might note that your audience becomes more critical and smaller as the day goes on.

Be expressive and authentic in a conversation with a younger person. Tonight: Do some early holiday shopping.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might resent someone close to you, who could be tripping you up. You seem to be able to accomplish what you want, and you’ll add your special finesse to whatever you do. Don’t be too invasive when trying to find out what’s wrong with a loved one.

Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll make a great effort to get past an issue that you might choose not to share. Perhaps you just are tired or feeling down. A partner is likely to trigger your imagination in order to help you see a situation more realistically.

Tonight: Take some much-needed private time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The emphasis is on success, but

Tundra

you’re only successful because you have taken the lead. A meeting could prove to be a hotbed of ideas that are great but costly.

Play devil’s advocate. You might discover some intriguing ideas for how to gather more funds.

Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have done enough research to be able to take the lead in a project. Use caution in an important decision that could be costly or might not come to fruition quickly. A meeting is likely to point you in a new direction.

Tonight: Count on hanging out till the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone who is an expert in his or her chosen field.

You’ll want to hear a different point of view and detach. You could be overthinking an issue or a conversation by replaying it over and over again in your mind. Tonight: Surf the Web. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be amazed by how strong someone else’s argument is. You are likely to agree with this person once you understand

his or her vision. Nevertheless, you still might want to test out his or her ideas on others. Trust yourself. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are able to gain a new perspective when speaking with others. Your immediate knee-jerk response could be off.

A partner will invest a considerable amount of time trying to help you find the right path. Express your appreciation. Tonight: Check in on a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others flood the airwaves with their caring ideas and suggestions. Focus on completing what you must, and don’t get distracted before you are done.

Set aside time for meaningful conversations that are likely to touch you. Tonight: Exercise away your stress.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 60-year-old divorced male. I am decent looking, financially secure, have a lot of close friends, and am fun and interesting.

Yet I haven’t dated in 25 years. Why? It is embarrassing to admit, but I feel inadequately endowed.

My friends think I am just too picky, but I can’t tell them the truth. I would love to have a woman in my life to travel with and share all that I have to offer. I would treat her like an angel. I don’t want to go on spending my life alone.

What can I do? -- Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: We suspect many of the women in our reading audience will be writing to ask for your address because you sound like a gem. (Sorry, ladies, we don’t put readers in touch.)

We won’t say, “Size doesn’t matter,” because we know you believe it does.

But the majority of women are more interested in the rest of you. The secret to a great sex life is in the organ between your ears, and your willingness to please your partner. We guarantee there is a woman out there who will love you for your personality, your intelligence, your warmth and your kindness. But you won’t know until you put yourself out there. Tell your friends you are looking, and then check out church groups, volunteer groups and even online dating sites. Not every woman will be a keeper, but please don’t give up.

Dear Annie: For my mother’s 80th birthday, my three siblings and I planned a catered dinner to celebrate.

We agreed to split the cost four ways and updated each other frequently on the details. Mom chose the menu.

Everything seemed to be going well.

When we received the quote for the meal, I discovered that two of my siblings had made changes to the menu, including the amount of beef ordered and the type of chicken served.

Also, the two of them decided the cost should be per person instead of an even split. This change seemed to be directed at me since I have the largest family.

That was a month ago and I am still a little irritated. The extra money doesn’t bother me. What does is the hijacking of the party by my siblings without agreement from everyone else. Am I out of line? -- Still a Little Miffed Dear Miffed: Of course not. When siblings are paying for a joint celebration, all of the costs and details should be discussed and agreed to by everyone unless someone opts out. Perhaps your siblings thought you would balk at the idea of a perperson distribution, but if you have a much larger family, it would not be unreasonable to pay extra. Nonetheless, they should have discussed it with you ahead of time instead of making these decisions unilaterally.

Let your siblings know that you expect more transparency next time and then please try to let it go. These types of things, while unpleasant, should not create a rift.

Edwin Roy Beduz

October 27, 1930 - October 23, 2015

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our father Roy Beduz.

Roy, born and raised in Kimberley, BC, began his career with Cominco and met his wife Joan at the Phosphate Mine, Cominco America, MT. Married on October 6th, 1956, they arrived in Yellowknife, NT in the dead of winter that year to start their lives together and eventually raise their two children, Judi and Brian, while Roy worked at Con Mine. Roy completed his Cominco career at Polaris Mine, Little Cornwallis Island, NU. His next career took Roy and Joan to the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC where Roy worked in the capacity of Maintenance Superintendent for the School District until his retirement. Roy and Joan spent their remaining years in Marysville, BC. Roy is predeceased by Joan, his wife of 59 years. He leaves behind his son Brian and his wife Lorraine, his daughter Judi (Cozzetto) and her husband Terry, his brother Louis and sister-in-law Meta, brother-in-law John Mollenberg, nieces and nephews, and his little canine companion Pepper.

The interment will take place at the Kimberley Cemetery later this year.

Forever loved and greatly missed.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

World Diabetes Awareness Month and Day Submitted

Awareness Month this November, The East Kootenay Foundation for Health is erecting a large blue circle on the roof above the ambulatory care entrance at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes and was the brainchild of Kari Rosenfeld of the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) and her daughter Clare back in 2006, when the IDF was campaigning for United Nations Resolution on diabetes (which they received).

The blue colour is meant to evoke the color of the sky, and the circle is a symbol of unity.

The blue circle will be a new addition atop the roof at EKRH and is a result of a generous heart and donation from designer & builder, Dean Simpson of Reactive Welding in Cranbrook. The EKRH Starmakers leant a hand by adding the brilliant blue led lighting. The circle will be erected and lit on November 1 and continue through to the start of EKFH’s annual Starlite Campaign which launches on November 27.

In addition to raising diabetes awareness on November 14 EKFH and the Cranbrook Diabetes Wellness Center will recognize the World Diabetes Day 2015 by hosting a GO BLUE FOR BREAKFAST event to be held

on November 14 (9:30 – 11:30 a.m.) at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook. The event will specifically address the topic of healthy eating and its importance both in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and the effective management of diabetes to avoid complications.

For a small ticket price attendees will enjoy a healthy diabetic breakfast, hear ideas from guest presenter Dr. Ross Dawson and nutritionist Catherine Strachan and have a chance to win a few door prizes.

The latest estimates from the IDF Diabetes Atlas indicate that there are 382 million people living with diabetes worldwide. By 2035, 592 million people or one person in ten will have the disease. A further 316 million people are currently at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with the number expected to increase to almost 500 million within a generation. What makes the pandemic particularly menacing is that throughout much of the world, it remains hidden. Up to half of all people with diabetes globally remain undiagnosed.

These facts and figures reiterate the importance of urgent action. Most cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented and the serious complications of diabetes can be avoided through healthy lifestyles and living envi-

Submitted

Welcoming the new Diabetes Awareness Circle for erecting in November are members of the Cranbrook Diabetes Wellness Center and EKFH ronments that encourage and facilitate healthy behavior.The key messages of the world-wide campaign aim to raise awareness of how the healthy choice can be the easy choice and the various steps that individuals can take to make informed decisions about what they eat. Special focus will be placed on the importance of starting the day with a healthy breakfast.

The campaign will

continue to promote the importance of immediate action to protect the health and well-being of future generations and achieve meaningful outcomes for people with diabetes and those at risk.

The key messages of the campaign include: • Make healthy food the easy choice • Healthy eating: make the right choice • Healthy eating begins with breakfast Tickets are $20 per

person and available from the Cranbrook Diabetic Wellness Center (20 23rd Ave S, Cranbrook) or at the Heritage Inn. Tickets must be picked up and paid for before November 5.

No extra sleep for you

B.C. petition calls for end to daylight savings time C a na d i a n Pr e ss

KAMLOOPS, B.C. Clocks in most of Canada will go back an hour early Sunday morning, but not everyone is pleased with the extra time for sleep.

“People with sleep disorders don’t get an extra hour of sleep.

They get an extra hour of laying there thinking about not sleeping,” says Tara Holmes.

Holmes is one of two Kamloops, B.C., residents who have created

an online petition urging the provincial government to do away with daylight time, where clocks leap forward an hour in March and fall back in November.

Daylight time has been a pet peeve for Bob Dieno, the petition’s co-founder, since university when he slept in on the day the clocks switched and missed the final exam in his chemistry class.

The time change is

archaic and disruptive, Holmes argues, especially for people who have sensitive internal clocks, such as seniors and children.

There are also studies, Holmes says, that have found an increase in workplace and road accidents in the weeks following time changes.

“It’s crazy when you look at the impact this has,” she says. “There’s so many reasons that we shouldn’t do it but I don’t think there are

The Cranbrook Food Bank needs your help.

Drop boxes at Safeway and Save On Foods Food Bank office 104-8th Ave. S. • 250-426-7664 (from 10am-3pm)

many reasons why we should.”

Some parts of Canada don’t observe the time change, including almost all of Saskatchewan, which is on central standard time yearround.

Other places the time change doesn’t apply include the northeastern corner of British Columbia, the town of Creston in B.C.’s East Kootenay region, three northwestern Ontario communities located in the Central Time Zone, the eastern reaches of Quebec’s North Shore, and Southampton Island in Nunavut.

Abolishing daylight

time in B.C. would make the time uniform across the province year-round, Holmes argues.

Originally, the pair had hoped to get 10,000 people to sign the petition within four months.

However, more than 13,000 added their names in a matter of weeks.

Now they are aiming to get more than 15,000 signatures before presenting the petition to the government.

Holmes says she’s happy people are having a conversation about daylight time, even if politicians don’t make the change.

Air SAR conducts training exercise F O R T H E TOW N S M A N

Cranbrook Air Search and Rescue took part in a training exercise last week, using the complete range of activities that would normally take place during a search for a missing aircraft.

The October 27 exercise simulated thesearch for a four-seat Cessna 172, with one pilot and passenger, that went missing on a flight from Calgary to Cranbrook, assuming a crash in a field several miles north of the Cranbrook Airport.

The simulation included conducting an initial visual and electronic search through to SARTechs (Search and Rescue Technicians) and parachuting to the crash site.

The crew of a Hercules search aircraft, under the watchful eye of Check Pilot Stephen McAlpine, were provided with details of the missing aircraft and picked up several spotters at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. The spotters, volunteers with Cranbrook PEP Air (Provincial Emergency Program), rotated through 20 minute shifts with the military SARTechs at the very large spotting window of the “Herc” while the aircraft conducted a close contour search flying along the western front of the Rockies near Top of the World Provincial Park.

The simulation continued with the crew picking up the radio signal from an ELT (Electronic Locator Transmitter) that automatically transmits a radio signal when an aircraft crashes. For the scenario an ELT operating on the training frequency was used.

The electronic radio-direction-finder search led the search aircraft to an area where the spotters noted debris matching the colour of the missing aircraft. Two individuals were seen on the ground near the debris but no radio or cellphone contact could be established with them.

The Hercules aircraft then made a low level pass (50 metres above ground level) and dropped a portable 2-way radio that landed

seven metres from two injured individuals near the wreckage; a real testament to the crew expertise in an aircraft travelling in excess of 200 kph.

Radio contact was established and it was confirmed that the two individuals were the object of the search and had suffered broken bones. As part of the simulation it was determined that neither a Cormorant helicopter nor land ambulance was immediately available to attend to the injured so the SARTechs, working closely with the cockpit crew, parachuted to the crash site landing very close to the aircraft debris.

The two “survivors” of the simulated crash, Nick Bedwell (SAR Manager and Training O f f i c e r- C ra n b ro o k Ground Search & Rescue) and Brian Weeks of PEP Air, then returned the two SARTechs to the airport where the Hercules was waiting.

Allister Pedersen Cranbrook PEP Air Training Officer coordinated the exercise with Cranbrook Ground SAR and the military search crew from 435 Transport & Rescue Squadron. Louise Shynuk, Dan Shynuk and Grant Tulloch (PEP Air Spotters) received military spotter training from the SARTechs to maintain their standing as certified and current spotters on military aircraft such as the Hercules or Buffalo aircraft either here in Cranbrook or anywhere across Canada.

After receiving his spotter training update in the cargo bay Allister was requested to go to the cockpit to coordinate the simulation with the check pilot.

“Even though it was a tremendous opportunity to spend time in the cockpit I realized it would be almost as interesting to see the cargo bay door opened for the SARTech jump or to be on the ground,” Pederson said.

As intended, the exercise provided experience for the spotters on a different type of aircraft and provided the military and Ground SAR with valuable experience in order “That Others May Live”.
