City of Kimberley to sign jail cell agreement with Cranbrook C arolyn Gr ant Daily Bulletin

The regular meeting of Kimberley City Council on Monday evening, November 9, 2015, had a lot going on, including a couple of lively discussions/almost-arguments over the issue of jail cells.

The issue before council is this — for five years, rather than upgrade the cells in Kimberley at considerable cost, prisoners of Kimberley RCMP are sent to Cranbrook RCMP cells, where they are housed for a cost. The city of Kimberley signed a contract with the city of Cranbrook for the service, and that contract is now up for renewal for another five-year term.

As explained by RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel, the Kimberley Detachment NCO in Charge, prisoners are the responsibility of a detachment until they make their first court appearance, which must be within 24 hours.

After that, should they re-

main in custody, they are the responsibility of the province. So the number of prisoners Kimberley may be responsible for housing in a year is usually less than 40.

“We should not be putting money into Cranbrook infrastructure with Kimberley tax dollars.”

Darryl Oakley Kimberley Councillor It’s not a huge amount of money, but some Councillors took exception to the city of Cranbrook building in a five per cent increase to costs each year. Some of that amount is inflation, but some of it — it was learned through discussion between staff of both cities — was to assist Cranbrook in the up-

grading of their cells.

And this is where Kimberley Council had an issue. As Darryl Oakley put it — “We should not be putting money into Cranbrook infrastructure with Kimberley tax dollars.”

Council had discussed the issue at the Committee of the Whole meeting last week, which Mayor Don McCormick had missed. McCormick said he was quite surprised to return and find a movement afoot to investigate refurbishing and updating Kimberley’s cells rather than sign the agreement with Cranbrook.

But before the discussion even got underway, Coun. Kent Goodwin suggested it move in camera as that was the practice when negotiations were in process.

However, that motion was defeated, the reason being that it had already been discussed at an open committee of the whole meeting.

“Essentially, we are negotiating with ourselves,” the mayor said.

“There’s nothing wrong with it being in a public forum.”

To McCormick, whether upgrading Kimberley’s cells was the way to go or not — and he argued that it could cost in the area of $500,000 to do so — was not the issue. The issue, he said,

was the contract was before Council now.

“We don’t have an answer for what’s the best return on our money right now. We don’t have incremental operation costs. We need to do work in our capital budgeting to look at this (refurbishing the Kimberley Detachment building).

“But in the short term, we need to move ahead

with the contract.

“Cranbrook is not making a bunch of money on this. It’s basically break even.”

Still, a number of Councillors, including Albert Hoglund want to investigate the actual costs of refurbishing, suggesting there is another study that suggests it could be done quite a bit cheaper than

$500,000.

In the end, Council decided to sign the agreement — “reluctantly” said Hoglund — on jail cells, though Councillors Middlebrook, Oakley and Goodwin voted no. There will also be follow up work done on costing renovations and upgrades to the Kimberley detachment building.

groundwater.”

In the spring of 2015, the City conducted some equipment retrofit work on one of the three deep wells in the community. This particular well, located at the Cranbrook Fire Hall on 2nd Street South has been in operation off and on since the spring. However, with the lower overall water level in the Phillips Reservoir this summer and fall, it has been required to increase the volume of water coming out of the fire hall deep well to meet public demand. The result is a mixture of surface and ground water making it to the taps

Over the past few weeks, residents and business owners may have noticed some slight discolouration to fixtures and sinks in their homes and businesses due to the drinking water.

“Some residents have noticed and asked us about such issues as: white spotting on utensils, white film in sinks and basins and dishwasher strainers, some brown or black staining on fixtures – things like that,” says Chris Zettel, Communications Officer with the City of Cranbrook. “These are all normal occurrences associated with

of residences and businesses throughout most of the City.

“It is very important for residents to know that these minerals in the water are in low concentrations and are not a health concern,” Zettel says. “Public Works water crews are continuously testing and monitoring the water at many different locations around the entire City and all tests to date have proven that the water is meeting the guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality and is safe to drink and use for cooking, dishwashing, bathing and laundry.”

ALR boundary review pending

Some properties in Area B and E to be excluded from ALR C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Agricultural Land Commission is reviewing Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) boundaries in RDEK Areas E and B. In Area E, the ALR is looking at properties from Kimberley to Skookumchuk and St. Mary Lake and parts of Wycliffe. In Area B, the area is roughly described as Jaffray to Grasmere.

Public meetings have been scheduled. For Area B, the meeting is called for 7 p.m. on Wednesday November 18, 2015. The meeting will be held at the Jaffray Community Hall. For Area E, the hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday November 19, 2015. The meeting will be held at the Wasa Community Hall.

According to the ALC, the purpose of an ALR

boundary review is to refine the ALR boundaries in a particular geographic area so that they encompass land that is both capable and suitable for agricultural use.

Discussion is already beginning in the community as there is some confusion as to what criteria were used to determine whether a property will be excluded or not.

For instance, in the Meadowbrook area, one property has received a letter saying it is being considered for exclusion, while a neighbour received no such letter.

Area E Director Jane Walter says that the RDEK really has had no input as to what is being excluded and what is not.

“I was quite distressed to read the letter that said the ALC was working with us, but they

The 552 Key City Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron was honoured to have Flying Officer Lee Brown, a veteran of WWII, visit them. Flying Officer Brown talked to the cadets about his time as tail gunner in a Lancaster plane and with Bomber Command. The cadets peppered him with questions. The squadron said it was an honour to have met one of the few remaining WW2 veterans, especially in light of Remembrance Day. Lest We Forget. weren’t,” Walter said.

“We knew it was coming but when we finally got the maps, some properties that we thought were coming out, didn’t, and some properties came out, when we thought they were staying in.

“It seems decision making went on size and unfortunately didn’t

look at what type of soil or access to water.”

There are both pros and cons to being within the ALR. If you are within it, subdividing your property is next to impossible. If your property is pulled out, there are tax issues.

“If you are within the ALC, you’ve been getting

a tax benefit,” Walter said. “By being pulled out, you will no longer get that benefit.”

Walter said she didn’t know the dollar value of that benefit.

She does agree that there are some properties that don’t belong in the ALR. “I do have struggles

with a one or two acre place being in the ALR. You can’t farm a property that small. Some 10acre properties, you could be farming.”

Her issue, she says, is that she really doesn’t understand how the decisions as to which properties are in and which are out, were made.

“There was no driving around and looking that I know of,” she said.

The Bulletin has reached out for comment to Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and a spokesperson for the ALC, and will follow up when those comments are received.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Garbage Reminder – Garbage pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. Garbage must not be set out before 5:00 a.m., as unattended garbage attracts bears and other wildlife. If you choose to put out your garbage later than 7:30 a.m. and the garbage truck passes earlier than usual, you run the risk of not having your garbage collected that day.

Each household may put out up to two cans out per week, containing 2 bags per garbage can. Garbage cans should be a maximum of 77 litres (20.3 gallons) similar to the Rubbermaid “Roughneck” garbage cans.

The maximum weight allowed is 13 kilograms per bag (28.6 lbs). Any garbage containing recyclables will not be collected. Loose garbage or garbage not placed in a bin will not be collected.

Please familiarize yourself with the City’s new ‘Solid Waste Rates and Regulations Bylaw’ at https://kimberley.civicweb.net/Documents/ DocumentList.aspx?ID=603. For more details on the garbage collection schedule or garbage can specifications, visit Kimberley.ca/Services/ garbage-pickup-schedule or call Operations at 250.427.9660.

Clearing Snow and Ice – Icy sidewalks can be a hazard for everyone including seniors, children, mail carriers, meter readers, firefighters, and paramedics. As the weather warms up and then freezes again, water from melting snow can run onto cleared sidewalks. Here are a few tips to help maintain your walkways: • Warm weather during the day can make ice soft, so it’s easier to chip or shovel away.

• Spread sand or gravel on icy patches to make your sidewalk safer for pedestrians. Spreading sand on a sidewalk before ice forms can also make future ice easier to remove.

• Microwaving sand in a microwave-safe container and spreading it while it is still warm will make the sand embed itself into the ice, creating a gritty top layer.

• Pile snow in a place where it will not run across your sidewalk when it melts and aim your downspouts away from areas where people walk.

EYE ON YOUR CITY Stay Bear Aware - Though the falling snow may have you believing denning is imminent, WildSafeBC is still receiving reports of bear sightings in and around Kimberley.

Please stay diligent about encounter prevention and safety while you recreate, and manage attractants for wildlife in and around your home. First and foremost, ensure household waste is stored securely indoors, only placing cans out to the curb on the morning of collection.

Thank you for doing your part to keep wildlife wild and communities safe!

Conservation officers a thin green line T he B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area.

As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated.

In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Feautres/Events

It happened this week Cranbrook in the week November 8 - 14 over the years

Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives 1902 HA HA … The Granby mines recently received an ore crusher that weighed 100,000 pounds on which the freight bill was $2,000. That bill must have been a crusher to the mining company.

NOT TOO COLD … Harry Fairfield celebrated the arrival of the first snow by taking a sleigh ride and wearing a straw hat.

Talk about your banana belt climate. In this section people cut ice wearing linen coats.

It’s a great country.

WHERE’S THE BEEF? … Mr. Cook, of Fort Steele, came out with a load of beef for the Roaring King, but was unable to reach the camp owning to the great quantity of snow. He had to leave the meat on the mountain side some two miles from camp and it is a question who will get it, the men or the mountain lions.

GOOD PROSPECTS … Messrs. Shilling and Sherwood, while clearing the ground on what is known as the Shilling lease, washed the dirt and secured several dollars in gold, including one nugget to the value of three dollars. This lease is one half mile up the creek from Old Town, One can find surface gold almost anywhere around Old Town.

SEEMS WRONG … A resident of Cranbrook remarked to the Old Man the other day that it did not look well to him to see five big churches in a town like Cranbrook and twenty or thirty children crowded into the garret of a blacksmith shop to get their education.

THE BERLINER GRAM-O-PHONE ... It talks! Sings, Comic, Sacred and Sentimental Songs. Plays like a full Band or Orchestra. You can understand every word it speaks. It is the greatest entertainer ever made. It uses the Hard Flat Disc Records which last for years. The Gram-o-phone is made in Canada. A five years written guarantee with each machine. Write for Catalogues—free. PRICES $16.50 AND UP. Sold on Easy Monthly Payments, if desired .

MANUFACTURED by. . . . E. BERLINER, 2315-2319 St. Catherine St., MONTREAL. R. E. Beattie, Agent.

CURLING ANYONE? … There is some talk of organizing a curling club in town.

Judge Forin, of Nelson, who was in town last week, is an enthusiastic curler, and he aroused considerable interest among the local devotees of the sport.

NAPKINS EVEN … The new dining room at the Pioneer hotel was opened last Tuesday, and to commemorate the occa-

sion the proprietors sprung a gigantic surprise on their guests by having the tables neatly decorated with napkins. This innovation has been met with meek resignation by the old timers, but no mercy will be shown to the fiend who introduces ping pong into the camp.

1903 BBQ? … The provincial government is offering a bonus for dead crows. Is Mr. McBride anticipating a postelection banquet?

WORK APLEANTY … There are a number of sidewalks in need of repairs over the town. If better judgment was displayed in the care of the prisoners, they could do all of this kind of work in Cranbrook, instead of being taken to Fort Steele to languish in jail.

OUCH! … Friends of Fred Thomas, formerly roadmaster’s clerk here, will regret to learn that an accident he suffered some time ago has resulted in the loss of the left thumb. At the time the accident was so slight that he took little heed of it, but blood poisoning supervened, and the thumb was amputated in Macleod hospital.

JUST IN TIME … The practice indulged in by many travelers in the West of not entering the train until it has started, received an unpleasant illustration at Cranbrook on Saturday. No. 3 had just started westward, and in the rush for the steps an elderly man missed his footing, and but for the energetic action of a fellow passenger he would have fallen between the platform and the wheels of the moving train. As it was, he was carried some distance along the platform with his feet dangling dangerously below the car steps. The incident caused not a little excitement among the spectators who witnessed it from the platform.

SHORT BACK AND SIDES … Mr. Burgess, C. P. R. agent at Kitchener, came up to Cranbrook one day last week to have his flowing locks trimmed. The lack of a tonsorial artist in that town makes such trips necessary at times.

DANCE CLASS … Prof. Hepburn states that pupils may enter his dancing class for $5 for the rest of the term. This is a grand opportunity for those who desire to take lessons from a man who understands his business.

WANTS TO KNOW ... The Sawmill, Perry Greek, Nov.9. Editor Herald: Some time ago you indulged in a little witticism upon an item that appeared in the Fort Steele Prospector, which said a party of hunters were shooting at Bummer’s Flat.

Now, of course, the awkwardness of the phrase is obvious enough, but there appears that there is some controversy about the propriety of the Prospector’s use of the apostrophe “S” and using in the first word

of the name of places as nouns in the possessive case. Should it be written “Bummer Flat” or “Bummers flat?” yours respectfully, Tall Timber. {Editor’s Response} It depends upon who is using the names.

Thoughts are like persons. Each person dresses to suit one’s self. Language dresses one’s thoughts, and like persons, are characteristic of their clothes. Either of those terms would be offensive to fastidious persons; either is characteristic of the Prospector, and the Prospector has a right to use them. Papers, like persons, are sometimes interesting for their peculiarities. If a man wants to wear his shirt outside his pants there is no law to prevent him and if he spells Bummer’s Flat with an apostrophe “s” and a small “f” there is no law to prevent that. Common usage is to not use the possessive sign as in “Vancouver Island.” Vancouver discovered the island, but, it does .not belong to him. The same applies to Bummer Flat, Still there is no law to prevent the Prospector from saying Bummer’s flat, nor to prevent people from shooting at it.

GETTING BETTER … Claude Trotter, the young man who jumped from a moving freight train in Moyie three weeks ago last Monday and had his left leg so badly mangled that it was found necessary to amputate it below the knee, is out of the hospital and is getting along splendidly.

LIBERALS ELECT OFFICERS. The Cranbrook Liberal Association held a meeting Wednesday night at their rooms in the Watts block. There were a large number present and great interest manifested in the proceedings. Short addresses were made by Dr. J. H. King, the member elect, W. F. Gurd and others, and arrangements made to hold a social meeting every two weeks. The first one will be Wednesday evening November 25 and a program is being prepared for the occasion, consisting of songs, recitations, readings, etc.

MANITOBA HOTEL SALE ... Last week the Manitoba Hotel changed hands. Tom Wellman selling his interests to Dan McDonald and Frank Clapp. The Manitoba is one of the best hotel properties in town, and has made all kinds of money. It was built in the early days by W. Kake and was then known as the Commercial. Later when bought by Mr. Wellman, the name was changed to the Manitoba. Mr. McDonald has been manager of the hotel during Mr. Wellman’s absence from town while looking after his stable of horses, and is well liked by the people. He will continue to have personal charge of the business as Mr. Clapp’s time will be fully taken up as manager or the East Kootenay Bottling Works.

Extreme weather shelter spaces available For the Townsman

CRANBROOK – The B.C. government is funding 24 extreme weather shelter spaces in Cranbrook this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold weather.

The temporary spaces are available until March 31, 2016 as extreme weather alerts are issued in Cranbrook.

The 24 spaces are at Salvation Army Kootenay Valley Community Church, 533 Slat-

Thursday, NOVEMber 12, 2015 Page 7

er Rd. “In times of extreme weather, we want to ensure no one is left out in the cold,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “These spaces protect our most vulnerable people from the harsh elements, while shelter staff provide a caring hand to those in need.”

“For the last few weeks as the weather has gotten a little cooler we were seeing people on a daily basis coming in cold, damp and in ever-in-

creasing poor health,” Salvation Army Maj. Kirk Green said. “The shelter has been open for three nights now with guests from 20 years old to 60, and we have seen a real difference even in that short time.”

Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need.

Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporary emergency shelter spaces will be available this winter in about 100 communities.

The provincial government also funds outreach teams to help connect people with a range of services such as housing, health care and community supports.

A list of permanent shelter spaces is available at: www. bchousing.org/Options/ Emergency_Housing/ESP.

All good things must come to an end

Castlegar Rebels put a halt to Kimberley Dynamiters 13-game winning streak Tuesday night at Civic Centre Taylor Rocc a

All good things must come to an end.

Goaltender Joseph Mcleod and the Castlegar Rebels made sure of that Tuesday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre as they put a halt to the Kimberley Dyna-

miters’ 13-game win streak with a 3-1 victory.

“I think we just lost our focus [in the third period],” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Tuesday night. “We had the puck — on all of their goals — between

the hash marks and the blueline. You don’t get it out and you let the team down. We did that three times, I believe.

“To be honest, for 50 minutes I was probably more pleased with how we played tonight.

Their goalie played phenomenal. In the 13game win streak, we Dynamiters won some games we Scoringhave Statistics should lost and [Tuesday], we lost one we should’ve won.”

Sledge hockey: All about what you can do

T

he life of your local sports reporter is far from quiet, calm or boring, especially in communities as bustling and vibrant as Cranbrook and Kimberley.

During the fall and winter months, I have my regular beats -- the Kootenay Ice, the Kimberley Dynamiters and Avalanche volleyball at College of the Rockies.

This past weekend afforded me the opportunity to visit an event not typical to my regular beat, but incredibly important nonetheless.

The Kimberley Rotary Sledge Hockey Tournament ran almost all Saturday long at the Kimberley Civic Centre, providing locals folks the opportunity to take in some highly competitive sledge matches between a variety of teams, coming from as far a Calgary and Kelowna, as well as from right at home.

Outside of formally scheduled tournament play, there was an open demonstration -- an opportunity for folks to take to the ice in sleds owned

by Kimberley Minor Hockey -- that saw men, women and children strap themselves in and cruise around the Civic Centre ice.

Taylor Rocca With college volleyball also my slate for the afternoon, I passed on the opportunity to hit the ice -- a rare thing for me to do.

While taking in the energy around the rink, I was privileged to speak with a number of Rotary Club members and folks involved with helping get sledge hockey off the ground, not only in Kimberley but in Canada.

The conversations I had were rewarding beyond words, but I do hope to share at least a bit of the wisdom I acquired on that chilly Saturday at the Civic Centre, because I truly believe it’s important.

First off, there’s a common misconception that sledge hockey

is solely for the disabled.

That’s incorrect.

“It’s not about what you can’t do. It’s all about what you can do,” were the words shared.

Incredibly powerful.

Sledge hockey is intended to provide a competitive arena in which anyone -- regardless of ability -- can come together in the name of sport and play.

I was told a story of a little boy who, once upon a time, so desperately wanted to play hockey.

Afflicted with osteogenesis imperfecta, more commonly known as brittle bone disease, playing ice hockey simply was not in the cards for this youngster. One wrong bump could mean immense pain and broken bones.

Then he discovered sledge hockey.

Upon strapping into his sled, the little boy cruised around the ice surface before making his way to centre ice and shouting, “I’m free!”

Sport has that power.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to sledge hockey during my years at the University of Alberta. It was a fan-

A lot of people don’t realize the Civic Centre is fully equipped for sledge hockey.

A lot of people also don’t realize that the Kimberley Rotary Club raised $18,000 to purchase 12 sleds, which were then put in the care of Kimberley Minor

Hockey (KMH).

KMH cares for the equipment and anyone interested in using it is encouraged to contact KMH equipment manager Brian Anderson via

email at cb.anderson@ shaw.ca.

I’d encourage you to get in touch with KMH and give sledge hockey a try.

You won’t regret it.

Rebels knock off Dynamiters An early surprise for fans saw Nitros captain Jason Richter take to the ice for warmups, before being penned into the lineup Tuesday night.

Richter, 19, had missed the previous two games with an upper-body injury suffered Oct. 27 at Golden and was not expected to be available Tuesday night.

“It’s pretty tough to watch in the stands, you get so excited up there,” Richter said Tuesday.

“We won both those games, so I had no problems sitting out, getting healthy. I had to make sure I was healthy before I came back. I felt good tonight.

“Kind of knowing my shoulder was just a little bit sore going into [Tuesday’s] game, but I’m not going to back down from any hits or anything. It felt fine.”

It didn’t take long for the heart and soul of the Nitros to make his presence felt.

After the two teams battled through nearly 40 minutes of scoreless

Continued from page 8 hockey, the 5-foot-8 spitfire put an end to the lack of offense with Rebels forward Matthew Lambert serving a two-minute minor for tripping.

Parked in his usual spot at the right point on the power play, Richter wheeled towards the top of the circle before snapping a quick shot that eluded Mcleod on the high glove side.

The goal, Richter’s 13th of the campaign, gave the Dynamiters a 1-0 lead with 2:25 to play in the second period. Unfortunately for the hosts, that’s all the offence they’d muster Tuesday night.

“All streaks have to end somewhere,” Richter said.

“We’ve just got to be going for 60 minutes.

Jerry [Bancks] even said this was bound to happen. If this doesn’t happen, we’re not going to be where we want to be in February. We’ve just got to learn how to bounce back. Every team loses. It comes down to how we bounce back.”

For the Dynamiters (16-2-0-2), Tuesday marked only the team’s second regulation loss of 2015-16.

Next up, the Dynamiters host the Kamloops Storm (14-4-0-1) Friday night in a rematch of last season’s KIJHL championship.

“We’re pretty pumped up,” Richter said looking forward to Friday. “They’ve got a pretty fast team, a pretty good team and pretty young this year. Hopefully we can get our veterans going and show that we have some experience here, pop a few in the net and get the win.”

Friday’s tilt between the Nitros and Storm is set for 7 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

SEATTLE - A piece of Seattle history is coming down - or rather, 1 million little pieces.

Crews are cleaning up the city’s famed “gum wall” near Pike Place Market, where tourists and locals have been sticking their used chewing gum for 20 years.

The wall is plastered with wads of gum in a kaleidoscope of colours, some stretched and pinched into

messages, hearts and other designs. People also have used the gooey pieces to paste up pictures and other mementos.

On Tuesday, powerful steam cleaners were melting it all off.

The market hired a contractor to use steam because pressure washing would damage the historic building.

Market officials decided now was as good a time as any for the cleanup, but

VANCOUVER - A forestry and aviation company based in Port Alberni, B.C., has signed an agreement with Airbus to help turn a workhorse transport plane into a water bomber.

Under the agreement, Coulson will tailor its retardant dropping system to the C295W, switching the turboprop from a transport plane to a water bomber.

Two removable, 3,500 litre tanks will be built, with each tank capable of being filled with water or retardant in under seven minutes.

Coulson spokesman Britton Coulson says the up-

grades will make the C295W a cost-effective firefighting aircraft that can easily be used for other duties when the fire season ends.

Coulson owns two massive Martin Mars water bombers, two C-130 Hercules aircraft and several powerful Sikorsky S-61 helicopters, and has a dependable record of supplying and maintaining large aircraft suitable for fire suppression.

NEWS AUTOMOTION Kremlin says ban on Russian flights to Egypt will last for months VL ADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

Moscow’s ban on all flights to Egypt in the wake of a Russian plane crash will last for at least several months, the Kremlin chief of staff said Tuesday, dealing a severe blow to Egypt’s struggling tourism industry.

President Vladimir Putin’s chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov, said on a visit to Finland that it would be impossible to radically revise Egypt’s security system in a short time, according to Russian news reports.

Putin suspended all flights to Egypt on Friday amid security concerns after the Oct. 31 crash of a Russian airliner that killed all 224

people onboard.

Other airliners from Britain and Western Europe are also bringing their nationals home, after several countries and airlines last week suspended new flights to Egypt amid suspicions that a terror attack could be the cause of the crash of the Airbus A321-200 operated

by Metrojet.

U.S. and British officials have cited intelligence reports indicating that the plane, en route from Sharm elSheikh to St. Petersburg, was brought down by a bomb on board.

While Russia and Egypt said the statements were premature pending the official crash probe, Moscow’s

ban on flights signalled that it was taking the bomb theory seriously.

Ivanov said Egypt needs to revise its security regime not only in Sharm el-Sheikh, but also in airports in Cairo and the Red Sea resort Hurghada.

Asked how long the Russian flight ban could last, Ivanov said that “I think for several months, as a minimum.”

“It’s impossible to radically change the systems of security, protection and control in a week or even a month,” he added.

Security officials at Sharm el-Sheikh airport have told The Associated Press that it has long seen gaps in security, including a key baggage

scanning device that often is not functioning and lax searches at an entry gate for food and fuel for the planes.

The head of Cairo’s international airport, Maj. Gen. Ahmed Genina said officials from Russia, Holland, Italy, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar were examining the scanning of passengers, cargo and baggage at the airport Tuesday. Security guards and caterers were also being inspected.

The Russian ban has badly struck Egypt’s vital tourist sector, which represents 11 per cent of its economy and almost 20 per cent of crucial foreign currency revenues. The industry had been making a

Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail surveys the wreckage of a Russian airliner. gradual recovery after years of political upheaval since the 2011 popular uprising that deposed longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt is one of the most popular destinations for Russians, especially in the winter when the sun and clear seas lure them away from grey, frigid weather.

Roughly three million Russian tourists

came to Egypt in 2014, nearly a third of all visitors, with most heading to the resorts in the southern Sinai Peninsula or its opposite coast, far off from an insurgency being fought

by Islamic militants against the army further north.

Eastern European visitors, also including people from former Soviet satellite states like Ukraine, made up a

crucial 45 per cent of all tourist arrivals in June, according to Egyptian government statistics.

Within hours of the Metrojet crash, a faction of the Islamic State militant group claimed to have downed the plane in retaliation for Moscow’s airstrikes that began a month earlier against militants in Syria, a claim that was initially dismissed by both Russia and Egypt.

Handcrafted Treasures & Tasty Treats

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your mood brightens as others lighten up. News could head in from someone at a distance.

If you ask too many questions, this person might retreat. Your intuition is likely to indicate that there is a discrepancy between what you are hearing and the facts. Tonight: A weekend getaway.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Continue to let others take the lead. Everyone will be a lot happier as a result, especially one key individual. Your efforts need to be concentrated on personal matters. Schedule a haircut or a long-overdue dentist appointment. Tonight: Opt for teamwork.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make sure you are in tune with the inner you. You might think you feel one way, only to realize that deeper feelings lie beneath the surface. You will find out about these emotions as they emerge, and you will need to respond accordingly. Tonight: Let

someone else assume control.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your imagination can be limitless if you brainstorm with an equally imaginative person. So many different schemes and ideas could pop up from out of the blue! Consider picking and choosing your audience with care. Tonight: Get some rest, if you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be direct with others. You might be surprised by someone else’s diplomacy. Emphasize what you desire in a way in which you can be heard. Some of you might sugarcoat your desires; others will be demanding. A last-minute snafu could occur. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension could mount to a level that you had not anticipated.

You might not be ready to deal with what is happening, or with what someone else wants. You don’t need to vanish or become difficult; state your desires clearly. Tonight: Deal with an ongoing issue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You seem more energized and charming than usual. How you manage to be even more alluring than your typical self could be shocking to some people, while others will be envious.

However, you could become difficult if you don’t get what you want. Tonight: No fussing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know that you have a lot to offer -- much more than you realize.

Part of the reason is that these traits are such an innate part of your personality. Others admire your knowledge and strength.

Use caution with your finances.

Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll perk up as the day goes on, as you sense that others are receptive to your ideas and presentation. Stay goal-oriented, and you will succeed. A domineering friend might push you very hard. Even if you say “no,” he or she is unlikely to hear you.

Tonight: You call the shots.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know when to back off. Your inner voice might be saying some-

thing quite contrary to what you would like to believe. The only answer is to stop and look at the different issues. Buy yourself some time until you figure out what is most appropriate.

Tonight: Play it cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on your goals and desires.

Friends could be very distracting and could become part of your day, even if you initially did not want this type of interaction.

You might laugh at your inability to push away a good time. Is that so bad? Tonight: The more, the merrier.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be overtired and withdrawn. Pressure has been building around your work and day-to-day life. As a result, you might back away from friends or a demanding person. Focus on completing what you must now, and doing what you want later.

Tonight: Try to get some sleep.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My mother has never been a big eater, but in the past year, she seems to have developed a serious eating disorder. At age 62, she skips meals regularly and has shrunk to a bony 90 pounds. Her skin is sagging, her hair is thinning, and she is very irritable.

Mom acts superior about her size and often criticizes other peoples’ weight or eating habits. Oddly, she watches cooking shows all day, swaps recipes with me and cooks for everyone else.

But she only eats her own “special” food. When I call it to her attention, she denies it and says she’s simply watching what she eats.

I think it’s ridiculous that a woman in her 60s is behaving like a teenage girl.

I am her only daughter and apparently the only one in the family who realizes what a big deal this is. My dad and brothers think she’s just a health freak.

I have cut back on my visits because I don’t want my young daughters to be exposed to such a terrible female role model when they already struggle with their own body image issues. I’m also worried that there will be serious health consequences if Mom doesn’t start eating normally. What should I do? -- Worried and Annoyed Dear Worried: Please try to be less annoyed. Your mother sounds anorexic.

While you are right that anorexia is more common in teenage girls, it can affect both men and women of any age.

This is a mental health problem. Mom’s self-worth is tied to how thin she is, and she doesn’t recognize that she’s in serious trouble.

Anorexia can cause heart problems and bone loss, kidney failure and even death. You cannot force Mom to seek help, but you can get information and suggestions on how to approach her by contacting the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (anad.org) and the National Eating Disorders Association (nationaleatingdisorders.org).

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frantic Mom,” who desperately wanted help for her middle-aged son who is addicted to drugs and in need of psychiatric help. She said her late husband was a veteran and asked whether she was eligible for benefits.

You recommend several organizations, including the VA. Please tell her to also check with her local VA hospital and the Disabled American Veterans. Both of these organizations have highly trained service officers to help veterans and their families obtain the benefits to which they are entitled.

If she has trouble, an officer from any local Veterans of Foreign Wars post should be able to connect her to the right people.

I hope this helps. -- Kathleen Blake, Past Erie County President, Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW Dear Kathleen Blake: We appreciate the additional suggestion and hope that “Frantic Mom” will look into all avenues of assistance. We would also like to take this opportunity to send our veterans our best wishes on this Veterans Day. Thank you so much for your service.

There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.â&#x20AC;? Hilaire Beloc We are deeply saddened to announce Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden passing at St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Sechelt, B.C. on Sunday November 08, 2015.

Al is lovingly remembered by his partner and good friend, Carol Doyle, and her children and grandchildren all of whom welcomed him into their family. As one of four children, Al is survived by his sister Doreen and brothers Wayne and Stephen, all of Saskatchewan. Al was predeceased by his special aunt Celia, a most important person in his life.

Al was a tireless proponent of the Sunshine Coast and in his role as Executive Director, Community Futures Economic Development, Sunshine Coast BC from 2000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2009, worked diligently in helping make that belief and commitment a reality.

All who had the opportunity to meet him, will remember Al as a warm, friendly and sensitive man whose presence and personality would fill a room, frequently punctuated by his infectious, engaging laugh.

An avid member of Rotary, Al believed in service above self for others and community. Fund-raiser, ticket-seller, barbecue â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, clean-up worker, executive member, Al was always ready to jump in and do his part.

A successful executive, Al served in a variety of senior leadership positions in the Provincial Governments of both Saskatchewan and British Columbia including roles as Director/Deputy Minister, Ministry of Regional Economic Development and Financial Institutions (Saskatchewan) and Superintendant Financial Institutions and Real Estate (British Columbia) respectively.

Al recently retired back to the Sunshine Coast in 2014, after serving as the Chief Administration Officer for three years for the City of Kimberley, B.C. Expressions of sympathy in lieu of flowers can be sent to Rotary Canada Foundation.

A celebration of Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held @ Sunshine Coast Golf Club on December 07, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandma, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming to visit!â&#x20AC;?

Obituaries

Jerry Ronald Browning February 15, 1938 – November 6, 2015 Jerry was born in Covington, KY to Ben and Margaret (Sutton) Browning; he was the seventh of nine children. After a few years in Kentucky, the family moved to Crafton, PA and then to Kiona, WA so Ben could work on the Manhattan Project facility at Hanford.

Outside school hours, Jerry and his brother Larry helped their parents build a motel from the foundations up, which the family operated for many years. He loved yo-yos as a kid and went to the state yo-yo championships; he placed second after the spindle on his yo-yo broke during the Around-TheWorld manoever. He was athletic and spent many happy hours biking, playing sports, and swimming in the Columbia River.

In 1956, he graduated from Columbia High School in Richland, WA. He then attended Washington State University (Pullman), graduating with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering, which was a dual degree in architecture and structural engineering. Shortly after graduation he was in a near-fatal car accident, surviving only because a doctor was in the first car on the scene. After a lengthy recovery, he hitch-hiked around Europe before heading to Hawai’i to look for work. He was hired as a structural engineer at the large architectural firm Wimberly, Whisenand, Allison and Tong. Not long afterwards he was encouraged by Kent Nixon, a close friend from university, to join the firm Fairbanks, Sawyer and Nixon in Cranbrook, BC. So Jerry traded the beaches of the South Pacific for the Canadian Rockies. He was soon made partner. He met his first wife, Heather Cameron, and together they raised a family at Moyie, BC. Kent and Jerry purchased the practice and created Nixon and Browning, Architects and Community Planners. They built a flourishing business specializing in schools, health facilities, commerical and civic buildings for almost every community in the East and West Kootenay and several projects in southern Alberta. Their projects include the College of the Rockies campuses in Cranbrook, East Kootenay Regional Hospital, Cranbrook Public Library, the RDEK building in Cranbrook, new schools in Windermere, Golden, Invermere, Fernie, the Elk Valley, Canal Flats, Revelstoke and Castlegar, and renovations to many others, seniors care homes, drop-in centres, financial institutions, buildings for BC Hydro and Kaiser Resources, municipal offices, recreation complexes and post offices. They successfully completed more than 250 projects. They also operated a copy business and a sawmill in Cranbrook for a short time.

Despite his success as an architect, Jerry had a naive and recklessly optimistic side which led him into a long series of speculative side ventures; his charm, charisma, and persuasiveness led other people into these ventures with him. Though he never once stopped believing in eventual success, many relationships with friends and family members were irreparably damaged.

His marriage to Heather ended in the 1990s. He moved first to Tonapah, NV and then to Bow Island, AB to be near his brother Larry (wife Dorothy). Together they cared for their elderly father until his death. Jerry was a life-long seeker of spiritual answers and his quest took him in many unusual directions before finally finding the ROC Christian Ministry in Coaldale, which is how he met his wife Margaret. They had been married nearly 11 years at the time of his death. Together, Jerry and Maggie worked as greeters for their church and led the Good Times group for four years. They also nursed Jerry’s brother Larry during his illness with ALS. Jerry was devoted to physical fitness. He ran many 10k and 15k races and several marathons. He spent a lot of time strength training and researching nutrition. Jerry loved music, particularly gospel, country and ‘50s and ‘60’s pop. Johnny Cash and Elvis were two of his favourites. He was a great dancer and a photography enthusiast. He had a distinctive sartorial style, favouring bright colours, cowboy boots, flashy blazers, bolo ties and Hawai’ian or cowboy shirts. He collected belt buckles and model cars. He loved kids and was always up for a game of Frisbee, a wrestle, or some Rummy-O, Monopoly or poker.

He was a skilled fly fisher and enjoyed fishing on Kootenay Lake with his good friend Arne Olsen. He was a huge movie buff and watching them was a critical source of comfort during his final months. Some of his favourite memories were of road trips through the US, especially on his BMW touring motorcycle. He loved to laugh.

Jerry died eleven months after being diagnosed with ALS. He was predeceased by his parents, siblings Norma Wright, Larry Browning, Pauline Woods, Janet Noga, Phyllis Phelps, Michael Browning and David Gale Browning, niece Patty Wright and nephew Tom Noga.

Jerry is survived by his loving and dedicated wife Margaret “Maggie” Browning, his sister Nancy Allen, children Susan “Sioux” Browning and husband John Bradshaw, Steve Browning and wife Leona (Olivia, Liam), Jennifer Browning and husband Richard Baverstock (Jake, Ben), and David Grexton (Tanner, Abby), step-children Susan Kopp and husband Stacey (Alex, Tamara and Ashanti), Mary Blatz and husband George (Zoë, Esther), Ramon Peters and wife Carolyn (Sarah, Elijah), Pete Peters and wife Susanne (Blake, Melissa, Darryl), Lena Derkson and husband Rob (Hannah, Kaleb, David), Danny Peters and wife Wendy (Rachel, Haylie, Travis, Jorja), three great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and friends.

Jerry’s family would like to thank the caregivers at Edith Cavell Care Centre, Dr. David Stewart and his colleagues at the Family Medical Centre, Dr. William Shields, Taber Home Care, the nurses and Palliative Care team (particularly Joy) at Chinook Regional Hospital, Dennis & Rockwell Pollock and their staff, Jane Rivest, Sue Monro and the ALS Society of Alberta, Dr. Soroceanu, Jonathan Davis at Taber RBC, and Joe and Eva Ellan.

A memorial service for Jerry will be held Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 2 pm MST (1 pm Pacific, 4 pm Eastern) at ROC Christian Ministries (1220 – 23 Avenue, Coaldale, AB). For those far away wishing to observe the service, it will be live-streamed atlivestream.com/ roccm (click on Jerry’s Memorial). A reception will follow at the Coaldale Gem of the West Museum (1306 20thStreet, Coaldale). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society of Canada.

Messages for the family can be left at www.mbfunerals.com.

Your credit score is essentially your passport to financial opportunities. With a possible range of 300 to 900, your number tells lenders what kind of a risk you are likely to be as a borrower. A low credit score can prevent you from getting the lowest mortgage rate, or even from getting a mortgage at all. That’s why it’s important to know the six credit behaviors that can keep your score high, or give it a boost!

1. Know what you’re working with.

Get a copy of your report and see what your lender sees. Credit reports can be ordered for free through the mail or, for a small fee, downloaded from www.equifax.ca.

2. On time, all the time. The single biggest factor in your credit score is having a timely bill payment history. Start today with a commitment to never let a bill get past due.

4. A longer history is better. Don’t cancel your oldest credit card. In fact, get advice before you cancel any cards. A long steady history of using cards responsibly demonstrates trustworthiness.

5. Be selective. When you’re asked “would you like to apply for our Store Card to save $X dollars on your purchase?” Don’t do it. These pitches can be a credit pitfall. Regularly looking for more credit will flag you as a potential credit risk.

6. Keep it balanced. Creditors like to see that you can handle a wide variety of credit types.

3.

Know your limits. Your credit score is based on your balances relative to your available credit. Look at your credit limits and try not to use more than half of the available amount.

I would be happy to review your situation. If you need to improve your score, I can outline your best options for credit improvement. If you want to get a mortgage while you work on bettering your score, I can also advise how that may be possible.
