City’s union employees return 99% strike vote Last week, the City of Kimberley and Steelworkers Local I-405 announced that labour negotiations had stalled. The City said it would seek a mediator, the union said it would seek a strike vote.

The vote has now been taken with 99 per cent in favour of a strike.

90 per cent of eligible employees took part in the vote, the USW reports.

Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick says that he has no comment on the situation until after the sessions with the mediator, scheduled for July 13.

“We hopeful that the mediation will work,” he said.

The City put out a brief press release

Wednesday, saying the City is hopeful of receiving recommendations from the mediator that will be mutually agreeable to both the City and the Union.

“The City anticipates reaching a settlement which is in the best interests of the community and which is fair and respectful to City workers, residents, and businesses.

“The City of Kimberley website and Facebook page will be updated regularly to keep the public informed of any service disruptions that may occur in the event of job action.”

“My wife has put up with this for 16 years,” Bennett told the Townsman after his address.

“My son Daniel was in Grade 10 when I first got elected—he’s 31 now. How many fishing trips did I miss? My oldest son is back in the area now from South America. I’ve got a granddaughter.

“It’s just more important for me to do that, for myself and for

my family, than it is to be an MLA and a minister.”

Bennett won his first election in 2001, defeating NDP incumbent Erda Walsh.

“Anyone could have won in 2001,” Bennett said. “I was just fortunate to be the candidate.

“2005 was a different story — we almost lost. In 2009 we came back stronger. In 2013 we had the third largest margin of victory in British Columbia.”

Ethiopian family to arrive in Cranbrook A FOR THE TOWNSMAN

not go back to their home country because of fear for their safety.

This family was identified by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees for resettlement, and as with other refugee families who have arrived in Cranbrook and across Canada, the process of getting here has not been an easy one.

The family went through an extensive screening process which included a medical examination and security screening. An experienced visa officer collected biographical information and biometrics such as fingerprints and digital photos which were checked against law enforcement, immigration and security databases.

After the family was approved, they had to wait until they were matched with the CHR, who will sponsor them

to come to Cranbrook.

The CHR, through its 11 teams of volunteers, is ready to help them resettle here. They have collected donations of cash and household items from the generous people of Cranbrook.

Temporary housing will be provided until they can move into a more permanent home which will be stocked with all of the furniture and household items that they will require to live comfortably. Clothing suitable to our climate and their needs will be provided. A team of medical professionals has offered to care for them as required.

Their living expenses will be covered for a year through a combination of government assistance and CHR funds.

The family will be assisted in finding employment, and if necessary, with improving their English. A group of

volunteers from the CHR has already been working with Syrian refugees in Cranbrook to provide English language tutoring and will continue their work with this family if required.

Other volunteers will help with transportation, finding child care as needed, and exploring recreational opportunities.

Assistance will be offered with sensitivity to their culture and religion.

The date of the family’s arrival is not yet known but it could be several months before they arrive. Whenever they arrive, the CHR hopes that the community of Cranbrook will join in making them feel welcome as they begin to build a new life here.

LOCAL NEWS

Bill Bennett announces he will not seek re-election From page 1 Bennett then urged the room of B.C. Liberal supporters to keep that momentum going.

“We have a challenge ahead of us. Whoever gets the election, I’m going to help in the election.

“We’ll have a good competition, and the best candidate will win. No one is going to be appointed.”

Over the 16 years, Bennett has acquired a reputation — among his supporters and detractors alike — for getting things done, saying what he thinks, and taking the initiative. Over what can be described as a colourful and high profile political arc, he has risen from a small-town politician in the boondocks of the B.C. Interior to become one of the central figures of provincial government.

He is acknowledged to have raised the profile of his riding in the province, and getting things done for his constituents of all stripes. There certainly has been controversy in his time, and serious setbacks to his career. But each time he has come back seemingly stronger.

Bennett resigned from his first cabinet post in 2007 — Minister of State for Mining — after a nasty email he wrote to a constituent was made public.

He was re-appointed to cabinet in 2008, as B.C.’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, going on to be re-elected in 2009, he was appointed as B.C.’s Minister of Community & Rural Development.

In 2010, Bennett was appointed as B.C.’s Minister of Energy where he served until November 17, 2010, when in one of the signal moments of his career, he took a stand against Premier Gordon Campbell staying on as premier following the HST debacle.

“It was a lot of pressure on everybody at the time,” Bennett said on Tuesday.

“I was quite convinced…I have a pretty good gut for politics, my instincts are not usually very far off and I really believed if we went into the 2013 election with Mr. Campbell as the premier, that we wouldn’t win.

“I’d tried more conventional methods of persuading him and persuading others that we

needed to make a change and I was unsuccessful so I resorted to pretty extreme action to try to have him quit and he did that.

Even so, Bennett was kicked out of the B.C. Liberal caucus, although it must be said he never lost the support of the great majority of his constituents.

“I remember when I came back, after getting kicked out of cabinet, I was a little bit down in the mouth, but I got to the airport, there were 120 people there with signs — it really helped keep me going.”

Premier Campbell resigned shortly after. Bennett, who remained in touch with party circles, supported George Abbott for party leadership, but quickly came to see the strengths of the eventual winner of the leadership contest, Christy Clark, who as leader welcomed Bennett back into caucus.

In 2013, following a B.C. Liberal election victory that they were supposed to lose, according to most polls, Bennett was appointed as B.C.’s Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, becoming one of the most influential and prominent figures in provincial government.

On Tuesday evening, Premier Clark was on hand at the Royal Alex to pay tribute to Bennett.

After an introduction

by Bennett, Clark talked about the fraught campaign of 2013, which the Liberals were predicted to lose, and which was preceeded by many prominent Liberals resigning.

Clark spoke of the fraught 2013 election, when everyone was saying the B.C. Liberals were “doomed, all across the province.” The period preceding the election was marked by a number of high profile Liberals retiring from politics, in advance of an expected election loss.

“When you’re counting on people, whose don’t necessarily have their hearts in it, what do you do? You find people with big hearts, who are prepared to invest in the future,” Clark said. “And that’s why I fought so hard to make sure Bill Bennett found his way back into caucus and back into our cabinet group.

“Bill always brings back honest clarity to the discussion. And even if you don’t agree with Bill, always know he’s telling you what he thinks. And I believe that people don’t just vote on what politicians say, they vote on whether or not they think politicians have character.

And Bill Bennett is a man of tremendous character.”

Clark paid tribute to Bennett’s populism.

“For Bill, the waitress and her opinions are just as important as the guy who owns the restaurant she works in,” the premier said. “The man who picks the cherries in the orchard is just as important as the guy who owns the orchard. The guy who pours the concrete is just as important as the contractor who employs him.

British Columbians, no matter who they are, or where they work, all of them matter to Bill Bennett.”

Clark brought up a bit of pre-election “He’s a warrior for British Columbian, and a warrior for this riding.

And this riding, we need another warrior,” Clark said.

Following his address inside the Royal Alexandra Hall, Bennett scrummed with local media to provide more details on the reasons behind his decision and to reminisce on is political career.

“Yeah, I’m sad,” Bennett said. “There’s a lot of ego in this job, if you haven’t noticed. You’re out in front and leading and you got people saying you’re a great guy and they usually want something and that’s the nature of the business.

“So it does kind of pump your ego and you have to make sure you keep that in check. It’s a really satisfying job to do, aside from the ego part of it, it’s a really satisfying job to do.”

Bennett says his successor—whomever wins the B.C. Liberal nomination—should be prepared to work hard.

“I don’t think anybody should get this seat on a silver platter,” Bennett said. “I hope a dozen people come out and say they want to be the MLA from Kootenay East and we had just a rip-roaring competition and the best person will win and that

BARRY COULTER PHOTO

Bennett speaks to media after the announcement Tuesday. person will work hard because they’re going to have to work hard to win the nomination.”

However, there’s no doubt, people are interested in filling those shoes.

“There’s one guy who I’m sure is going to take a run at it and I know another guy who I think is going to take a run at it,”

Bennett said. “I’d like to see women think about it.

It’d be great to have a female candidate here for the BC Liberals. There’s lots of great, strong women in this area. They should think about doing this.”

Kimberley Mayor Don McCormck said Bennett had always been a friend to Kimberley despite it

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

not being in his riding.

“Bill is one of those people that just gets things done. And even though Kimberley is not in his riding, he was responsible for many good things that happened here. On many occasions he referred to Kimberley as his adopted community, for which we are extremely fortunate.

“Bill does not believe in the long ‘maybe’. If something is not likely to happen, he tells you; you always know where you stand. And if he can help, he does. Bill is leaving at the top of his game. I wish Bill and Beth all the best in their next adventure.”

City union employees give Steelworkers strike mandate From Page 1 Jeff Bromley lead negotiator for the Steelworkers, says 99 per cent is a pretty strong message.

“I would say that’s a substantial mandate and it indicates the membership agrees with our disapproval of the stance the employer has taken,” he said. “We’re hopeful now that the employer will move away from the stance they’ve taken at the bargaining table and remove the concessions that stand in the way of a fair collective agreement for our members.”

The union has agreed to meet with a mediator from the BC Labour Relations Board. Trevor Sonnes, who assisted the two in finalizing the last collective agreement, is scheduled to meet with both parties July 13.

The question is, are the two parties too far apart for a mediator to find some common ground?

“With a mediator there is always the hope that he can bridge the gap

between the two parties,” Bromley said. “But are they too far apart? We would hope there is a deal there.”

Bromley says the membership remains adamant that things negotiated in the past, such as vacations and the fair job evaluation program are not going to be given up.

“You will note that nowhere have we talked about money,” he told the Bulletin. “Money isn’t the issue. We understand economic realty, we know that times are tough. The issue is the concessions the employer is seeking.

“Vacations were negotiated back in the 1980s, when times weren’t good. Instead of increased wages, members took increased vacation.

We’re not going to lose negotiated vacation provisions. Regardless of where you work, I think that is completely unacceptable.”

Bromley says everything is now in a holding pattern until July 13.

“We’ll just have to see how things go from there,” he said.

BC NDP sees opportunity Cocaine, marijuana in Kootenay ridings seized in Cranbrook Retirements of Bill Bennett and Norm Macdonald change landscape in Kootenays TRE VOR CR AWLEY

With the recent announcement of Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett’s pending retirement from provincial politics, the B.C. Liberals will be needing a new candidate for the upcoming election in the spring of 2017.

No one has declared their intent to run for the nomination, however, Bennett has indicated he knows of a few people who would be likely be interested.

While the B.C. Liberals await to see who emerges from the nomination race in the Kootenay East riding, the B.C. New Democratic Party already has a candidate declared—former Fernie mayor Randal Macnair.

Macnair is the only candidate to announce his intent to run for the NDP in the riding, but that could change moving into the summer, according to Craig Keating, the president of the BC NDP. “As party president, I’m trying to attract candidates who have

high local profile and I think Randal certainly does that, who bring a lot to the table,” Keating said. “It’s a privilege to run for a political party. If you’re successful, you’ll earn over $100,000 and certainly, I think we want to have the very best possible people with some deep roots in the community as candidates of our party.”

The Kootenay East riding has been a BC Liberal bastion since Bennett won his first term in 2001, flipping the riding from orange to red in a landslide provincial electoral victory that decimated the provincial NDP, shrinking the party down to only two seats in the legislature.

Bennett won re-election in 2005, 2009 and 2013—the latter a significant victory for the BC Liberals, as pundits and polls predicted the party would lose the election by a devastating margin.

Now, without an incumbent running in Kootenay East, the provincial NDP is eyeing up the opportunity to paint the riding back to orange on the electoral map.

“I think it’s on the way there,” said Keating. “…I think the reason is this: We have a government that is profoundly out of touch with the simple desires of people across this province to

ensure that opportunity is a result of hard work.

“But that’s not what we have. We have people working hard and as hard as they’ve ever had before and they can’t get ahead because of this government’s policies.”

Next door to the Kootenay East riding in Columbia River-Revelstoke, there is a nomination contest brewing following a recent announcement from incumbent Norm Macdonald, who is also retiring from politics.

Keating heaped praise on Macdonald for his work in representing the constituents of Columbia River - Revelstoke.

“We’re certainly appreciative of all the work that Norm’s put in,” Keating said. “As a former mayor in the region, he brought with him deep insights about the Kootenays and his community.

“That was crucial around the caucus table, to have those insights and I absolutely get it—after a very long time in public life that Norm has had, both at the civic and provincial level, we’re going to miss him and wish him all the best.”

With Macdonald’s retirement, Gerry Taft, the current mayor of Invermere, and Spring Hawes, an Invermere councillor, have declared their intent to

run under the NDP banner.

The B.C. Liberals will be fielding a familiar face, as Doug Clovechuk, who ran for the party in the last election, will be gearing up for another crack at the riding.

Keating says the BC NDP is confident that the party can keep its grasp on Columbia River - Revelstoke.

“I think we need to continue to prosecute the case against this government,” Keating said. “This is a government that does not deserve to be re-elected. “…They have made life manifestly more difficult for people.

People who have the simple desire that hard work should pay off with opportunity and all their policies that I can name stand in the way of that. You take a look at MSP fees, you take a look at ICBC charges, you take a look at the housing file, you take a look at virtually anything.”

They think we’re idiots

W

e’ll start this week with a word of advice, folks. Just a reminder, don’t forget to fill your gas tanks in the next few days before Canada Day. You don’t really need to be a psychic to predict that oil companies are going to find to their horrified surprise that demand for gas increases on long weekends and they will have to jack up prices because they failed to plan for this totally unforeseen occurrence. I’m betting eight cents a litre. Obviously they think we are idiots. Then again, we fall for this every long weekend, so I guess we are.

It never fails to amaze me how stupid large corporations think we are. Ever been trying to contact say a big telecom and get the message, “due to an unusually large volume of calls”….? If the large volume is so unusual why do you have a pre-recorded message? Oh right, you think we’re idiots.

Politicians often fall into the trap of thinking their constituents aren’t bright enough to see beyond the mask.

Take our friend Matt Brown, Mayor of London, Ontario. You will recall I told you last week that Hizzoner had stepped aside after admitting to an “Inappropriate” relationship with his deputy mayor. He needed to take time to spend with his family, he said. Mend fences so to speak. Well, he has apparently taken all the time he needed because he is back on the job.

The Canadian Press reports that Brown says he has taken the initial steps to repair the damage he has done in his personal

life.

He says he is ready to focus on “the future and on the work that needs to be done to move our community forward.”

He’s solved his personal problems in a week and that “let’s get to work attitude” is what his constituents need to hear. It’s all over! In a week! It’s in the past! No need to mention it again! Because he thinks we’re idiots.

Across the pond, the Brexit vote is tearing the country apart and the hyperCarolyn bole is reaching epic Grant proportions. As I write this, voting has begun on whether England leaves the European Union and polls indicated it was almost 50-50. PM David Cameron had taken to posting pictures of the actor Daniel Craig (James Bond) wearing a “Remain” t-shirt, because if James Bond thinks England should stay, obviously the idiot voters will listen to a fictional character. Meanwhile, the “leave” side, led by Donald Trump’s equally attractive cousin Boris Johnson, ties the EU in with Hitler and Napoleon, because.. why not? The populace is populated by idiots, after all.

It hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for the Trumpster. He fired his campaign manager and word got out that he had very little cash on hand in the campaign war chest. So little in fact, that he had to actually start contacting donors, something that every other presidential candidate in the

history of ever has done, but The Donald had been resisting.

Twitter of course, has its share of idiots, but posters, sensing a weakness, produced the excellent #TrumpSoPoor hashtag.

Let me share some of the winning tweets with you. #TrumpsSoPoor he has to rub generic cheetos on his face in the morning. #TrumpsSoPoor that whenever he tries to write a business book, he can’t get past Chapter 11. #TrumpsSoPoor he will have to marry domestic again next time, can’t afford imported anymore #TrumpsSoPoor the wall is just gonna be stacked toilet paper rolls. #TrumpsSoPoor he can’t even buy a senator Trump responded with a fiery speech on Wednesday accusing Hilary Clinton of being the most corrupt person to ever seek the office of President, which is quite a charge considering the rogue’s gallery of past candidates, including Tricky Dick Nixon. However, the speech was immediately reported as far more presidential than his usual incoherent ramblings. The mud-slinging has begun on both sides and it’s going to get a lot uglier.

Why do politicians insist on thinking that crawling through the gutter is the way to wage a campaign?

Oh yes, because they think we’re idiots.

State of the Wildlife

I recently attended a meeting in Cranbrook where a presentation was given on the state of our fish and wildlife in BC, but more specifically, here in the East Kootenay. To say that it was depressing would be an understatement. First of all, the majority of attendees were seniors, like me, or, a more preferable term would be – experienced. It was reminiscent of the wildlife meetings we had back in the 80’s and 90’s, but with more of a grey color. Where were all the younger generation of stakeholders that are interested or care about the future of our wildlife and fish? We, the more seasoned crowd, have seen the heyday of wildlife populations here in the East Kootenay, and we also now see the blind closing.

The general thrust of the meeting indicated all things in decline – deer, elk, moose, mountain sheep and, most importantly, budgets, for those that are tasked with trying to keep those species from the precipice. Stats were presented, and tales were told – information that the attendees were all too well aware of – that the WILDerness of the East Kootenay has very little WILDlife left. If you wish to hear an elk bugle, your chances are better to hear that sound somewhere near Baker Street than in the top end of the Palliser River. The Defenders of Bears and the Defenders of Wolves have done a much better job of getting the attention of the media and government than the Defenders of Deer and the Defenders of Elk. Subsequently, those remaining ungulates have taken refuge in the streets or on the periphery of Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie, and so on. After all, their instincts as a species, is to survive.

OPINION/EVENTS LETTERS to the EDITOR bears, cougars, wolves and coyotes have taken their toll on the ungulates and they won’t stop eating just because we haven’t yet decided how to handle this situation.

Some of the general public states that we should just let nature take its’ course – OK, let’s just take a look at a couple of our National Parks and see how well the ungulates are faring there. In Banff now, this former refuge for the ungulates has also been broken down as once-wary wolves are now cruising through town looking for their next meal and picking off the odd pet – the backcountry elk are all gone. Last week a Banff wolf was put down because it was starting to eyeball tourists. When was the last time anyone saw a living, breathing elk driving through Kootenay National Park?? In Jasper, concerns are being raised about the drastic decline in moose populations – a study indicated that 75% of the moose calves were being eaten within the first 2 weeks of birth – that seems like a big number to me!

So, how do we stop the decline and restore some WILDlife back into the WILDerness? I am not a biologist nor would I ever claim to be, but, we can help those that I mentioned earlier who are responsible for the management of our resources by contacting our MLA, the Minister in charge, and/or even the Premier, and insist that they be provided the funding needed to manage our wildlife sensibly. Or, we can just sit back and hope for the best – after all, there is the Smithsonian Institution.

I prefer the thought of sitting there in the early morning hours around a backcountry camp, sipping on a coffee and being onceagain regaled by the sound of distant elk bugles, rather than complete silence …

Law-Making

One of the major roles for Members of Parliament is to draft laws that impact all Canadians. The reality is that these laws come from a mix of politics and require a thorough understanding of the implications of what is being proposed. Let me explain: A recent example was Bill C-223, An Act to establish the Canadian Organ Donor Registry, which proposed to coordinate and promote organ donations throughout Canada. This is a critical issue for some of my constituents and has my full support.

Had Bill C-223 been approved at second reading, the next step was for it to be sent to

the Standing Committee for Health for discussion and improvement. However, before it could get that far, it was voted down by the Liberal majority. Bill C-223 was proposed by a Conservative Member of Parliament, and similar bills have been proposed by the NDP in past Parliaments.

Politics?

Another bill, C-239, provided an example of a situation in which understanding the details is critical to creating good public policy. Bill C-239, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (charitable gifts), proposed to increase the tax deduction an individual is entitled to when they make a donation to a registered charity. I have been a volunteer with, and a donor to, many charitable organizations, so from a political perspective, how could I not support this bill? As the old saying goes, the devil truly is in the details.

The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO), which undertakes independent analysis of the financial implications of proposed legislation, found that the implementation of Bill C-239 would cost the federal government $1.7 billion in 2016 and $1.9 billion in 2020. This raises the important question: Which social programs could be cut to make up for the loss in revenue?

The PBO also found that taxpayers who make more than $91,000 in taxable income would benefit the most from Bill C-239, since the only proposed constraint on giving was a donation ceiling of 75% of net income. In short, while implementing this bill would potentially help some charities who have wealthy donors, it would likely not be helpful to charities who rely on donations from the average Canadian, would be very costly to the federal treasury while mainly benefiting the wealthiest taxpayers, and could result in government withdrawal of important services to Canadians.

In the end, Bill C-239 was not supported by a majority of the Members of Parliament. I would like to see government find alternatives to help fund the amazing work being done in our communities by charities – without reducing the scope of the government’s delivery of services to the people of Kootenay–Columbia.

As you can see, law making is not easy, and nothing illustrates that better than Bill C-14, Medical Assistance in Dying. I will update you on it in a separate article once we see where it goes over the next two weeks.

Bike to Work Week sees participation triple SUB MIT TED

Bike to Work Week took place May 30 to June 5, and local organizers are amazed at the success of the 2016 initiative.

“We’re just thrilled at the incredible increase in participation and community engagement,” said event organizer Patti King. “This year, the Kootenays nearly tripled the number of Bike to Work Week participants, from 136 in 2015 to 393.”

Kootenay participants rode a collective 13,502 km (the equivalent of riding across Canada twice!), burned 405,068 calories, and saved 2,927 kg of greenhouse gases.

Participants who registered for BTWW Kootenays were eligible for random draws throughout Bike to Work Week. Those who fundraised for this year’s charitable cause were also eligible for additional prizes, including a Grand Prize weekend for two at the Fernie Alpine Resort, with two days of lift accessed biking and two days of downhill bike rentals.

Friday, June 24, 2016 Page 7

“Bike to Work Week Kootenays was proud to return to our tradition of being the only BTWW community to fundraise for a local not-for-profit society in conjunction with BTWW,” King said. “This year, participants raised nearly $1,500 for the West & East Kootenay Brain Injury Association (WEKBIA).”

The top Kootenay fundraiser for 2016 was Troy Kusy of Rossland who won the Grand Prize weekend at the Fernie Alpine Resort. Instead of the weekend away, he’s requested that the the prize package, valued at $900, be donated to the WEKBIA. “My family and I are thrilled and love the Fernie Alpine Resort,” Kusy said. “We have biked there before and we always have lots of fun when we visit. Because one of the main reasons I participated in Bike to Work Week was to raise funds for the Brain Injury Association, my family and I felt it just makes sense for us to donate the prize to the Association.”

“We are excited that Bike to Work Week Kootenays provided us with this opportunity,” said Danielle Armstrong, WEKBIA Executive Director. “Thank you to everyone who supported our cause.”

The organization plans to include the donated prize in an upcoming raffle they are having to further raise awareness and funds for their programs.

Bike to Work Week Kootenays thanks all the businesses, individuals and teams who participated in Bike to Work Week 2016.

Thanks also to: Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Directors Ali Grieve of Area A and Linda Worley of Area B; Kootenay Savings and Columbia Basin Trust; media partners Black Press and Summit 107FM; and prize sponsors Kootenay Mountain Works, Favorit Cycles, Fernie Alpine Resort, Pro Vision Optical and Summit Outdoor Sport.

Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, Wednesday afternoon.

“It is a complex draft — a lot of variables come into it. A lot of times you haven’t seen the players, so you’re going mainly on the agent’s opinion of that player.

“Too many times you end up with an average hockey player. When you’re selecting first overall, you’d like to get an impact player and you should. In a normal draft, you would get an impact player. There’s no guarantees in the CHL Import Draft that that will happen.”

In addition to the first-overall selection, the Ice will also pick atop the second round — 61st overall.

Scouting opportunities for the bantam draft, while not a walk in the park, are relatively accessible with players scattered throughout western Canada, the western United States and a multitude of regional showcases and tournaments throughout the season.

Scouting opportunities for the import draft, for most CHL clubs, are

few and far between at best. This leaves many CHL GMs to rely on other contacts and player agents for information ahead of the international proceedings.

The World Under-17 Hockey Challenge (Dawson Creek; November 2015) and World Junior A Challenge (Whitby and Cobourg, Ont.; December 2015) provided two of the best spreads for Chynoweth and his staff to get eyes on potential international talent in advance of the 2016 CHL Import Draft.

The IIHF World Junior Championship (Helsinki, Finland; January) and IIHF Under18 World Championship (Grand Forks, N.D.; April) also provided insight, but not quite as close to home.

While those international tournaments provide exciting hockey and an opportunity for North American scouts to take in talent from overseas, it still isn’t enough to fully determine a path to success at the CHL Import Draft.

A heavy influence on the CHL Import Draft is the NHL Entry Draft, which is slated to begin

Friday and run through Saturday. International players selected by NHL clubs are often encouraged to come to North America and ply their trade in major junior leagues as preparation for the pro ranks.

That being said, NHL clubs have also been known to influence and dictate where they want their assets playing within the CHL. A total of 15 players selected at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft went on to be chosen at the 2015 CHL Import Draft. Most familiar to fans in Cranbrook is centre Michael Spacek, who was tabbed by the Red Deer Rebels with the 47th-overall pick, after being chosen in the fourth round of the NHL Entry Draft by the Winnipeg Jets.

On top of that, 33 players eligible for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft were chosen at the 2015 CHL Import Draft, including highly-touted Mississauga Steelheads forward Alex Nylander (12th overall) and London Knights defenceman Olli Juolevi (45th overall). Both had outstanding seasons with their respective OHL

clubs and are projected to go in the first round of the NHL draft.

“Ideally, we’d like to get a highly-skilled forward with the first-overall pick,” Chynoweth said. “We didn’t score a lot of goals last year, so you’d like to get an impact player up front who can score some goals.

But at the same time, we need a defenceman who can improve our defense. As young as we were last year, we gave up the most goals in the Western Hockey League.

“We’re leaning towards a forward [with the first-overall selection], but at the same time, there are some defencemen that might be available that we’re also looking at… depending what happens this week at the NHL draft.”

In 2015, the Ice selected forward Roman Dymacek with the 35th pick before taking a relatively known commodity in defenceman Mario Grman (95th), who had previously suited up for the Rebels before being released and re-entering the import draft.

Kootenay Ice hold top pick at CHL Import Draft CONTINUED from page 8 Dymacek, a native of Hodonin, Czech Republic, showed flashes during his rookie season in North America, but it ultimately didn’t work out as he amassed a mere four goals and 10

points in 55 games, leading to his release by the Ice in May. Grman, a native of Topolcany, Slovakia, was occasionally one of the grittier players to take to the ice, though not con-

sistently enough to stick around. He posted seven assists in 68 games and was released at the same time as Dymacek.

Over the years, the Ice have had range of success at the import draft, most recently with

defenceman Rinat Valiev (2013, 25th) who went on to be drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs (2014, 67th).

As the Kootenay Ice rebuild continues heading into the 2016-17 campaign, acquiring a

pair of high-calibre internationals could go a long way to righting the ship.

The import draft provides an opportunity for each of the CHL’s 60 clubs to select up to two players from outside

North America. CHL clubs are permitted to carry up to two imports.

A progressive ban on import goaltenders was imposed by the CHL beginning in 2013. Import goalies already existing in the CHL were permit-

ted to finish out their careers, while the 2014 import draft saw a full ban on import keepers.

The 2016 CHL Import Draft will take place via conference call beginning at 9 a.m. (Mountain) Tuesday morning.

Referendum vote too close to call Thursday; pound soars, then falls Associated Press As of Townsman press time, Britain’s referendum on whether to leave the European Union was too close to call early Friday, with increasingly mixed signals challenging earlier indications that “remain” had won a narrow victory.

The British pound soared after two leading supporters of the “leave”

campaign said it appeared the pro-EU side had won, then plummeted as Britain’s first few counting areas reported their results. The stage was set for a nerve-wracking night of ballot-counting after a day of high turnout and foul weather.

“It may be possible that the experts are going to have egg on their face later on tonight,” Univer-

sity of Strathcylde political scientist John Curtice told the BBC after results from Newcastle showed worse-than-expected figures for pro-European vote. “It may be the first sign that the ‘remain’ side are not going to do as well as those early polls suggested.”

The first results, from England’s working-class northeast, were a smaller-than-expected “re-

main” win of 50.7 per cent in Newcastle and a bigger-than-expecded “leave” vote of 61 per cent in nearby Sunderland.

A vote to leave the EU would destabilize the 28-nation trading bloc, created from the ashes of World War II to keep the peace in Europe. A “remain” vote would nonetheless leave Britain divided and the EU scram-

bling to reform.

As the polls closed Thursday, U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage set a downbeat tone for the supporters of a British exit - or Brexit - from the EU, telling Sky News television “it looks like ‘remain’ will edge it” in the referendum.

But he walked back those comments in later, telling reporters at a “leave” party in central London that “maybe just under half, maybe just over half of the country” had voted to pull Britain out of the EU.“ Pollster Ipsos MORI said a survey conducted on Wednesday and Thursday suggested the “remain” side would win Britain’s EU referendum

by a margin of 54 per cent to 46 per cent.

Earlier Thursday, the firm had released a poll that indicated a 52-48 victory for “remain.”

That phone poll of 1,592 people had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

But the firm’s chief executive, Ben Page, said continued polling on Thursday suggested a bigger swing to “remain” that gave the 54-46 result.

The overseas territory of Gibraltar was the first to report results late Thursday, and as expected the British enclave reported an overwhelming vote for “remain” - 96 per cent.

There as elsewhere, turnout appeared high.

Officials in Gibraltar said almost 84 per cent of eligible voters turned out to cast ballots; witnesses and reporters elsewhere said turnout was higher than in last year’s general election, which was 66 per cent.

High turnout is expected to boost the “remain” vote, because “leave” supporters are thought to be more motivated. But high turnout in working-class areas that typically have lower tallies could also boost the “leave” vote.

Polls had for months suggested a close battle, although the past few days have seen some indication of momentum swinging toward the “remain” side.

Features

In or Out? Moving towards the Centre In 2008, Phyllis Tickle wrote an awesome book entitled “The Great Emergence.” It was a “big–picture” book which offered a sweeping overview of church history.

Tickle noted a series of major transformations that have changed the church over the past 2000 years, and then she moved into a provocative analysis of where the church is today. We are, she says, in a time of massive transformation.

She began with an observation by Episcopal Bishop Mark Dyer that “about every five hundred years the Church feels compelled to hold a giant rummage sale — and that we are now living in and through one of those five–hundred–year sales.”

It is a wonderful metaphor, suggesting that the church is re–

evaluating what it means to be the faithful community of Jesus in a new world — getting rid of old practices, and making space for new movement.

Tickle identifies three prior transformative movements: the Great Reformation (1500s); the Great Schism (1000s); the time of Pope Gregory the Great after the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of monasticism (500s).

She indicates briefly that we can go back even further in time and trace similar kinds of movements: 500 years before Gregory was the birth of Christ; 500 years before that was the Exile of the Jews in Babylon; 500 years before that witnessed the rise of King David in Israel.

Tickle ends her book with a fascinating discussion about a new way of thinking about

what it means to be part of the Christian church.

She mentions that in thinking about groups, there are basically two kinds of groups.

The first is called a “bounded–set group.”

This is what people traditionally think of when they imagine becoming part of the church or any other group.

Bounded–set groups are organized around rules. They have strict boundaries, which determine who is in and who is out.

The other way is called a “centre–set movement”. It is not defined by strict boundaries, but revolves around how close one wishes to move towards the centre. In Christian terms, the centre would be “walking in the way of Jesus”.

A centre–set approach welcomes any who wish to be about the work of God’s kingdom, while letting “peo-

The federal jury reached its verdict Thursday, settling a point that music fans have debated for decades but didn’t find its way to court until two years ago.

The trust for the late songwriter Randy Wolfe claimed Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant stole a riff from Wolfe’s

1968 instrumental “Taurus” recorded with the band Spirit.

Page, Plant and bassist John Paul Jones all testified in the case, providing anecdotes about the 1971 creation of “Stairway to Heaven.”

Experts who testified for the trust said the two

The lawsuit said Led Zeppelin had a history of ripping off works by other songwriters and had settled at least six other copyright cases.

become members of that church. Believe the right things, behave the right way and you become an insider.

On the other hand, a church which is a centre–set movement begins with belonging: you are part of our group by virtue of our “shared humanity and an affinity with the individuals involved in whatever the group as a whole is doing.” We have no other expectations of you. A person may choose only to belong; or a person may long for more than that, and begin to behave in ways that are more compatible with the behaviour of the group as a whole. That particular behaviour then will also begin to shape belief.

In short, bounded– set groups have this pattern: Believe, Behave, Belong. A centre–set group has this approach: Belong … and perhaps behave which may lead to believing.

As you might imagine, this approach drives the institutional church nuts, and particularly those who insist you have to believe the right things in the right way.

Yme Woensdregt ple sort themselves out by how close each wants to get to the centre. Such an approach … is clearly a leap of faith.

It assumes that something other than ‘rules’ is holding things together.”

The difference between bounded–set groups and centre–set movements can be characterized as a way of thinking about the relationship between three specific activities: believing, behaving, and belonging.

A bounded–set group claims: “If you believe as we believe, and if you behave as we behave, then you will belong to our group.” A church which operates as a bounded–set group requires people to believe certain doctrines and behave in certain ways before they can

But society as a whole has become suspicious of those who claim to be experts.

Even within science, there is no longer a clear “truth”. Science has embraced uncertainty as a guiding principle. This is even more true in areas of human connection which are not open to observation … such as our relation with the divine.

How can you tell where you fit? A friend of mine recently wrote the following: You know you are inclined more to a centre– set movement if: … you are suspicious of experts and theologians who tell you they know the truth; … if you long to connect with others, irrespective of their religion; … if you have learned that scripture, reason and tradition are equally valuable (and equally fallible), and experience is the best guide in conversation with others;

… above all, if you find you may not know where you are going, but you know without a doubt that the journey is important and valuable in and of itself. You may occasionally feel lost on such a journey, but that’s ok. You value mystery and uncertainty.

If this describes where you might be, then welcome. There are a lot of us around.

We don’t have a definite program, but we do are walking together in community, and there are few right answers and no wrong questions.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s not so much about a “correct” code of belief or a code of conduct. It has to do with having a living relationship with One who loves us with a passion beyond words.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts point you toward doing some networking and staying on top of various situations. You could act in a very different way from what you had planned. Deal with the unexpected as best as you can. A friend plays into your mood and decisions. Tonight: Surprise!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Speak your mind, but be ready to chill out. Touch base with a family member early on, before your pace becomes too hectic to stop.

Understand what is happening within your immediate circle.

You might have to reorganize your day. Tonight: Play it loose and easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are full of energy, and you are likely to outdo anyone who decides to challenge you. People often forget that you have a versatility that many of them could only wish for. Nevertheless, you will have to hop over a problem right now. Tonight: Be clear about

your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Consider your options carefully.

One-on-one relating with someone who understands you, as well as the situation, can only help you. Still, you might want to do little and observe what comes down the path toward you. Tonight: Read between the lines with a dear friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Let go of a need to feed your ego, and allow others to take center stage. They need to prove their worth among those who are present. A loved one might have a sudden reaction that could set you back. Do some serious thinking. Tonight: Be with a special person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Continue to clear out as much as you can, especially as you are on the edge of the weekend. You will want to be footloose and fancy free. Try not to absorb or take on someone else’s work at the last minute; you don’t need to do that. Tonight: Out on the town.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Finally clear out calls and any details involving a pending action or project. Avoid a problem rather than dive right in. Sometimes, by walking away, you force others to resolve the issue. You might be much more content if you don’t get involved. Tonight: Head home early.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to those who ask you for advice, especially about their finances. You need to hear what

others are experiencing. You might feel as if you need to do something about what you are hearing. Be aware of the complexity of the issue. Tonight: Hang out. Join a friend for TGIF. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to a friend who always has a response to some very different situations. Your sense of humor emerges in what could be a difficult moment. The unexpected seems to surround you right now. You will gain a different perspective soon. Tonight: Make it your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might opt to try a different way of approaching and/or handling a personal matter. Note how others are handling their anger. As a result, you could decide to work on managing your temper. Let a loved one know what you are up to. Tonight: Make it an early night.

Shelby Cain

‘Mountain Girl’ a tantalizing thriller from Fernie’s Cain

Garfield

By Jim Davis

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook native Shelby Cain will be reading from her debut novel with Oolichan Books at Lotus Books in Cranbrook on the evening of Friday, July 8, at 7 pm. “Mountain Girl” captivates readers until its final pages.

Written and laboured over for seven years, ‘Mountain Girl” explores the very real phenomenon of Stockholm syndrome, an affliction where a person who is abducted begins to trust or even love the abductor.

“I have always been fascinated with the brain’s ability to protect itself,” Cain said. “I studied the psychological condition of traumatic bonding in University, and when I was contemplating writing a novel the concept surfaced immediately — along with some of my darkest fears. Mountain Girl is the compilation of what haunts me.”

Cain’s main character, Krissy Mathews, was kidnapped at 17. She returns four years later, thin and disheveled, with a young child clinging to life and a man she calls her husband.

It doesn’t take long to be engrossed in “Mountain Girl.” Like its main character, under the grips of Stockholm syndrome, readers find themselves torn between liking her captor and being completely repulsed by him.

As the page-turning story unfolds, the lines between good and bad are blurred. Is Krissy’s abductor really all that evil? Is the detective in charge of her case really all that virtuous? “Mountain Girl” is a stark reminder that reality is only our own experiences filtered through our own perspectives.

Shelby Cain was raised in Cranbrook, B.C., where she developed an obsession for nature and adrenaline. She now lives an hour away in Fernie with her husband and two young daughters. Writing is a new and exhilarating passion she has explored since having her children. She writes short stories, magazine articles, and a monthly column about her life for Fernie Fix magazine entitled “Family Stoke.” “Mountain Girl” is her first novel.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our 60s and recently celebrated our 15th anniversary. I know she loves me, but the physical side of our marriage has gone completely down the toilet.

It started about six years ago when my wife suffered a massive stroke, causing her to lose the ability to speak, as well as some coordination on one side. She also becomes easily confused. Less than a year later, we were in an auto accident where she suffered two compressed vertebrae in her neck, requiring surgery. She also developed severe osteoarthritis (it’s mostly genetic, but the accident triggered the onset), which affects nearly every joint in her body.

Now the problem: My wife has lost all interest in any form of physical contact, including sex, saying the pain is excruciating when I touch her. I barely get a half-hearted hug with no contact other than her head on my chest. We still kiss and hold hands, but no other body parts touch.

We have been to multiple doctors and socalled specialists, and all they want to do is throw prescription pain meds at her, only one of which her body could tolerate. Physical therapy has not helped.

I love my wife, but sorely miss being able to touch, cuddle or make love to her. I find myself drinking a lot at night just to kill the urge. I’m going absolutely nuts over this. I am not one to stray, but the drinking isn’t doing me much good and the antidepressant the doctor recommended isn’t helping much, either.

I know there has to be some treatment out there that would help. What can I do? -- Tilting at Windmills Dear Tilting: Let’s recap -- your wife had a stroke which has left her somewhat incapacitated, she was injured in a car accident and had neck surgery and now has severe osteoarthritis and is in constant pain. And you are disappointed that she doesn’t want to be closely held? Please understand that every time you try, you are hurting her. A lot.

It seems your wife has made every effort to alleviate her pain through medication and therapy. Now it’s your turn. You need to find a way to deal with your current situation and accept your wife’s physical limitations.

Counseling may help. Please ask your doctor for a referral.

Dear Annie: I am responding to “Need to Get Moving,” the dog owner who doesn’t want strangers to pet his dogs.

We have two large German shepherds.

Our vet advised us to tell people, “For your protection and theirs, we would appreciate if you do not pet them.” For the past couple of years, we have also been using the yellow ribbon you mentioned.

We spend our summers at a boat marina and see many different people and dogs each day. When asked about the yellow ribbons, we are happy to explain. With the help of columns like yours, I believe it is only a matter of time for this practice to become very well-known. -- My Kids Have Paws Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Olga Elaine Murdoch 1932 – 2016 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Olga Murdoch announces her passing on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 in Cranbrook at 84 years of age.

Olga was born on April 4, 1932 in Salmo, BC. She was a loving and caring woman who brought brightness into our family home and her friends lives. Mom was known for being well dressed and having a beautiful smile.

She was a kind and thoughtful woman who often put others needs before her own and she would often deliver hot meals to a friend or a family member when they were sick without a second thought. Olga will be deeply missed.

We would like to thank the 3rd floor nurses and staff for the tremendous care of our mother while in the hospital here in Cranbrook!! We also would like to thank Dr. Ingram and Dr. Allen for the dedication they showed in caring for our mom.

Olga is survived by her sons Bob Murdoch (Janice) and Don Murdoch, daughters Jean Murdoch and Jackie Murdoch Yost (Tony), her grandchildren Scott Murdoch, Derek Murdoch and Robert Murdoch, her sisters-in-law Bertha Askew, Marcella Murdoch and Mable Jmaeff and her brother-in-law Bill Murdoch.

Olga was predeceased by her husband Jack Murdoch, her infant son John Basil Murdoch, her mother Molly Jmaeff, her brother Eli Jmaeff and her sister Helen Oliver.

To honour Olga’s wishes we will have a private family service.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
