Canadian Rockies International Airshow has been cancelled

by Brian Coombs The Canadian Rockies International Airshow, slated to take place this summer, has been canceled.

“The exact reasons why we canceled the event is the economic times combined with a lack of volunteers and sponsors,” said Darryl Garton, The Canadian Rockies International Airshow Society president. “All the sponsors were from the Kootenay region and Cranbrook and Kimberley. We had sponsorship booklets, went to a number of businesses and everyone we contacted said they could not proceed because of the economic times.”

Last summer, the people of the area were treated to a teaser airshow that included a WW2 era bomber, a 1958 fighter/trainer and a biplane. The upcoming show was looking to feature a C-17, a CF-18 Hornet, the world famous Snowbirds and the Skyhawks, a Canadian Forces demo parachute team, to name only a few of the attractions.

David Hull, of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, said that the news of the cancellation initially took him off guard.

“We had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with the production people from Alberta.

It seemed to be going swimmingly,” said Hull. “We felt it would be an economic boon for the town. A good positive happening for the summer.”

But Hull noted that an airshow is an extremely big event.

“I was on the periphery of the Abbotsford Airshow for a decade. That’s a really big airshow. It’s a mammoth production with some full time staff year round. You get 5,000 to 6,000 people for an afternoon and an evening and it is a big onerous task. This group started last year and only a year is not a lot of time,” said Hull.

As to the economic reasons for a lack of support, Hull wasn’t entirely convinced.

“I don’t think the economy is that bad to tell the truth. I know it’s difficult, with all the usual suspects rounded up to help, but in my experience, Cranbrook

is a very generous, community oriented town. In three events— the Turkey Drive, the Bankers Auction and Miracle on Baker Street, there was over $100,000 raised.”

Hans Dekkers, of Dynareads Special Education Corporation, was the driving force and principal organizer of the Cranbrook Airshows in 2008 and 2011.

“The two shows my team put out would be labeled as major air shows,” said Dekkers.

“We had the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

From a management point of view, it is one of the most complicated things you can do.

There are about 150 management projects and as it comes closer it all seems to be moving into a funnel. If you think it is a lot of work in a year, in the last two weeks you better have all your ducks in a row or you will end up with a big mess.”

The show that Dekkers put on was different in that it was owned entirely by his company and they were not

looking for sponsorship for the entire up front costs.

“If you are the owner, you had better make it work. You need a high level of ownership,” said Dekkers. “Most airshows are done by committee, but the way we did it allows for a very small management team to make decisions.

There was one captain and only two other people at that level.

The rest were only responsible for their section and there was only four other managers. The main line could make quick decisions.”

Dekkers also felt that Cranbrook is too small to be asking businesses for that level of sponsorship.

“You are not going to see that kind of sponsorship. You just can’t ask that from businesses,” explained Dekkers. “Sponsorship was only a small portion of our income. The revenue had to come from selling tickets.

Selling 4,000 tickets was break even, when we got 5,000 we knew it would work.”

He also said that the vast majority of people seeing the show (97

This meant that the money spent on advertising to Alberta, the U.S. and the Okanagan was wasted money. It also meant that the locals really wanted an airshow.

“There was a population in that area of about 25,000 and

5,000 came. That is remarkable.”

Dekkers also said that his company may be interested in putting on another airshow in the future, but if so, it will not be by committee.

“I would never work with a committee because I know how much is involved and if you need to discuss

Seniors’ advocate warns that home care is spread too thin

by Tom Fletcher

Health ministers across Canada say expanding community and home care is the best way to serve a growing senior population, but total home care hours declined last year in three out of five B.C. health regions.

That’s one of the findings in the first annual report on seniors’ services by B.C. Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie.

Despite growing senior populations across B.C., the report found the total hours of home support delivered to clients was down four

per cent in Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal health regions, and down 11 per cent in the area served by Northern Health.

Fraser Health, the largest region by population from Surrey through the Fraser Valley, had a seven per cent increase in hours in 2014-15, the fiscal year that ended last March. Interior Health, including the Okanagan and Kootenays, saw a five per cent increase.

Mackenzie said there has been an increase in seniors served by home care workers in most regions, but the hours received by each has declined. She said the data on hours reflects what she has heard from seniors around the province, who report that their home care services are being reduced.

“That validates to a large extent what people are saying, which is

‘I can’t get meal prep, they cut my bathing, they cut out my housekeeping’,” Mackenzie said.

Health Minister Terry Lake, who emphasized the need to move away from the acutecare hospital model to community and home care at a recent health ministers’ conference in Vancouver, said the report is “a snapshot,” but acknowledged there is more work to do.

Lake said the 11 million hours of home care support provided last year is up 35 per cent since the B.C. Liberals took office in 2001, and the number of clients served is up 29 per cent.

“Despite the fact that we’ve seen a significant increase in hours and budget, the demographics are such that we are falling behind here a little bit,” Lake said in an interview.

“I think this is a good

Eating disorder video released

by Anne Mullens

The local actions of a dedicated team of East Kootenay mental health professionals, youth and families have created a series of informational videos that are set to improve eating disorder awareness and treatment across the province.

Almost a year ago, the East Kootenay (EK) Local Action Team — a diverse group of doctors, mental health clinicians, school counsellors, community agencies, youth, family, and more — decided to hold a day-long workshop on eating disorders. The EK team invited six experts from the Provincial Specialized Eating Disorder Program at BC Children’s Hospital to come to Kimberley to give in-depth presentations to more than 90 mental health providers from across the region.

Eating disorders impact a dozen regional youth a year and are the most deadly of all the mental health conditions, with up to 15% of people with eating disorders eventually dying directly from their disorder.

“It is very scary to treat youth with an eating disorder far from the specialized treatment program in Vancouver. Their health is so fragile. You can feel

really alone,” said Jennifer Westcott, who is a team leader for MCFD’s Child and Youth Mental Health Services for Kimberley and Cranbrook; and one of the key organizers of the workshop last March.

Also presenting that day was former Kimberley resident Rylee McKinlay, 20, and her mother Terri, who shared their challenges and successes during Rylee’s long journey with anorexia, which included a nine-week inpatient stay at BC Children’s Hospital when she was 16. At her sickest her heart rate was so low she was at risk of dying of heart failure.

The workshop presentations were videotaped and made into seven informational videos that will be shared province wide, starting this week, as part of National Eating Disorders Week.

“We are thrilled to be able to make these videos available. It is important to us to share the knowledge and expertise of our specialized staff with families and health care providers across all of BC, particularly in communities that may not have easy access to this information,” said Sarah Bell, Provincial Executive Director, Mental Health and Concurrent Disorders Services at

BC Children’s Hospital.

Medical professionals in BC can earn continuing medical educational credits for watching the videos.

Along with videos on medical assessment and management, therapies and meal support, one video features the McKinlays’ family experience. “If my experience can help even one person, it is worth it” says Rylee, who now lives in Penticton.

“Healing starts with being honest and sharing our stories to help raise awareness about this powerful disorder.”

The EK Local Action Team is part of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use (CYMHSU) Collaborative, a provincewide initiative that aims to improve the awareness, coordination, and timely access of child and youth mental health services. The Collaborative brings together a wide array of people into Local Actions Teams to find solutions to specific mental health issues.

There are now 65 local action teams all across BC. The Collaborative is funded in partnership

by Doctors of BC and the BC Government.

The videos can be found at the Shared Care website www.sharedcarebc.ca/initiatives/ CYMHSU-Resources

Abreast in the Rockies team donates to Starlite campaign The most recent and very successful fundraiser by the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team was a raffle for a custom made quilt.

The beautifully made quilt was designed, made and lovingly donated by Tanis Rye of Kimberley who is a 40 year breast cancer survivor. Tickets sold quickly and the winner of the quilt was Marianne Marunchak.

From this and other fundraisers $2,500 is now being donated by the Abreast in the Rockies paddling team to

the 8th annual Starlite Campaign directed to the team’s breast cancer fund.

Over the years the funds, stewarded by EKFH, provided funding for a refurbishment of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s oncology unit and purchased two sentinel node biopsy probes through a funding partnership with the Kimberley Dynamiters Hockey Club. This team was also an incredible support crew for the A Clear View – digital stereotactic mammography campaign.

Donna Grainger,

EKFH Executive Director shares, “It is truly inspiring to see how committed the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat team is dedicated to supporting breast cancer equipment and patient comfort needs at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.”

The Dragon Boat Team established in 2006 and now has over 30+ paddlers made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters.

The role of the organization is to raise awareness of breast cancer and to show that wom-

en with breast cancer can lead full and active lives. Funds raised by the group are utilized to help fund various breast cancer projects and team equipment needs.

The team’s next fundraiser is Kootenay News Advertiser’s Women’s Expo – Saturday, March 12 – 10 am to 4 pm held at the Prestige Hotel.

For more information on the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team call Sandy Zeznik at 250 417-9376, email: szeznik@shaw.ca. You can also like them on Facebook.

There is another group within the area who are looking to sponsor a refugee family. Kootenays Care for Refugees is a grassroots group of local families that have decided to welcome a family of four from Homs, Syria.

This group could also use some help in raising funds to help the family get settled in to Canada.

“Our group started with just a few friends, most of us mothers, who in the fall felt saddened by what we were seeing in the news,” said Amanda Aston, Kootenays Care for Refugees

spokesperson. “We were just having a cup of tea and came up with the idea to sponsor a family.”

After a few meetings on the matter, the group, which grew to include more families, approached Kimberley’s Friends of Burma, an established care an advocacy group.

“Then it just all seemed to come together,” said Aston. “We couldn’t see why it wouldn’t work.”

The group has around $10,000 set aside and feels it will require a total of between $18,000 and $20,000 to sponsor

the family. Aston explained that the sponsors are responsible for the family’s first month, with the government taking over for months two to seven. After that, the sponsor takes over for the rest of the first year.

“The money from the government will help, but it is not that much.

There is no way the family could live off those payments alone for six months,” said Aston.

She also explained that as the family, (father, mother and two boys, aged six and eight) is travel-ready and could

arrive with only three days notice as early as this month. Because of that, the group has divided responsibilities, with one looking after furniture and household goods collection, another looking into schools and others arranging necessities like proper clothing for our climate.

The group is also doing fundraising via a GoFundMe initiative and pierogi sales and are extremely thankful for local sponsors including

“A lot of our families were refugees. I am Ukrainian and my father’s siblings came over during wartime. Think about eastern Europe in 1943. Essentially my family were refugees.”

For the future, Aston hopes the best for the incoming family.

“I’d love to see the kids especially settled in and have friends and activities and a future,” said Aston. “I’d love to see the parents feel settled too. In the end, they may not permanently live in Cranbrook, but to me, the greatest gift would for them to have permanent residency in a country where their children can have a future, where they can

Annual Stone Soup Challenge participants announced It was a great kick-off to the highly anticipated second annual Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge.

The competition pits chefs and cooks from around the area in head-to-head elimination rounds in the kitchen at the Salvation Army in Cranbrook. Each of the participants will prepare a daily soup using only the donated ingredients on hand.

The soup will be served to Salvation Army clients, who will vote on their favourite soup, with the winning chef or cook moving on to the next round.

A twist in this year’s event will allow participants to introduce an ingredient of their

choice to the opposing chef’s soup. The chef can either use the ingredient and gain extra stones, or opt to pay $50 and opt out of whatever ingredient was proposed.

The two remaining finalists will face off in a luncheon fundraiser on Wednesday, March 2 from noon until 1:30 p.m. at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort.

Proceeds from the event will support the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation general endowment fund, as well as the Salvation Army as it works to build a 24/7 shelter in Cranbrook for homeless men, women and families.

Tracy Pound, a Homeless Outreach & Prevention Coordinator responded to the cookies by saying, “It has been wonderful to see the expression on our clients faces when we handed out cookies to each of them. They

were truly touched and some were even quite emotional.” Kindness is priceless and we could all use a little more of it in our lives.

Mount Baker Secondary Students have been learning about poverty and social issues and the impact they can have on communities, especially in our own. The facts that were presented were rather unsettling, giving a group of grade 11 and 12 students the inspiration to do something to make a difference. The students banned together and spent time during the school day as well as after hours to bake cookies to be delivered to the coordinators at the Homeless Outreach Program to be given out

The Kootenay Advertiser’s First and best reader’s forum Email to: shannon@kootenayadvertiser.com

Hugs: Double hug to our Kootenay Advertiser carrier. She goes above and beyond for her job and is always out in good or bad weather.

Thank you, Chateau Victoria resident.

Hugs: A big thank you to Rob from Andre’s TV for the excellent after sales service and going the extra mile for an elderly lady who is not able to make sense out of the modern technology. I am disabled and so appreciated your friendly attitude and making sure I was happy with everything before leaving. Great to live in a small town with local merchandisers who care about their customers.

Hugs: Big HUGS to the Editor of the Advertiser for having the courage to publish a well-rounded view of the secretive manner in which our Council dealt with the deer cull issue.

Hugs: To all of City Council who respected and honored the democratic process and con-

tinued with the deer cull which the majority of Cranbrook citizens voted for. Last year three traps were destroyed by slugs who snuck onto private property with knives and slashed the traps. Why blame City hall who had no choice but to do the cull in secret.

Hugs: Huge hugs to city council for following the people’s mandate to hold another deer cull.

Remember the deer cull referendum. Had to be done in secret because that’s the only way a cull can happen without further wasting of money replacing traps. Translocation may work but results are years down the road.

that doesn’t mean the small minority can impose theirs on the large majority. Its called democracy!

Hugs: Big hugs to the D E M O C R AT I C A L LY ELECTED Mayor Pratt and city council for not succumbing to the lies and bullying tactics of the anti deer cull cabal.

Please keep doing your job of running the city for the benefit of the majority of the citizens, making Cranbrook a safer and more efficient city.

Hugs: To Equicare Car Care Service, Kimberley - for extraordinary customer support and second-to-none business ethics.

Slugs: It seems like “Sour Grapes” from the “group” who keeps on putting in Slugs towards our new council. Please get on with your life. Try and look at the positive future for Cranbrook.

We support the new council.

Hugs: Two giant hugs to the 5th Avenue Snow Angels, Bob and Tom in Kimberley. Thank you for plowing a safe trail for all of us walkers and the children going to school in Townsite. You two are an example of true community spirit!

Hugs: To the mayor and council who followed the will of the electorate, 70 percent said get the job done without conflict of the few radicals, mission accomplished.

Slugs: To the mother I saw shopping in Superstore with her little girl (5-6years old). I think you should be ashamed of your response to her asking for chocolate milk. I quote, “Do you see the price of it?! You’re not worth that!” A simple “maybe next time” would have been sufficient enough, instead you chose to make your baby girl feel unworthy. I hope you are reading this and

Slugs: Huge slugs to the anti-deer cull fanatics who feel that even though they lost the referendum, the city should still bow to their demands. Its good to have an opinion but

Here’s how it works!

think hard about how those words can make a huge impact on that poor little girl and you reconsider the way you speak to her.

Hugs: Big hugs to our city council for stepping up and carrying out the long awaited deer cull. They are showing accountability and responsibility to the citizens of Cranbrook.

Slugs: Huge slugs to all the people who constantly complain about the deer cull. Enough already. Why don’t you get your heads together and come up with solution that would please everybody, without costing taxpayers a fortune? Bet you can’t so how do you expect our council to please everybody? And to the people who think Cranbrook is a dinktown, shame on them.

Hugs: Big hugs to the people who volunteer at the Bibles for Missions Thrift Store. I have volunteered for 2 years now & it’s the best job I have ever had in my lifetime.

Irene was predeceased by Frank, son John, grandson Stanley. Also by her parents, three brothers and two sisters.

A memorial gathering was held at Heritage Square in Vernon. The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage Square and the doctors in Vernon for their compassionate care of Mom. We would also like to thank Alternative Funeral Home in Vernon for their comforting care and making it so much easier for us.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day.

No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts always there.

In Loving Memory The Capuano & Masi families

In Memory of Andy Drobot September 1, 1935 - February 9, 2009

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

We’re never really ready when a loved one leaves this world.

There’s always so much left we want to say.

We long to turn back time and tell them all that’s in our hearts.

We think “If only I had one more day.”

Today is one of those days, The heart feels so heavy.

So today we’ll take those memories of you and wrap them around us in a hug and know that you are always with “us.”

We miss you and you’re forever in our hearts.

Love your family. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
