The Kimberley Nordic Club is thriving and growing, producing some high profile racing talent and attracting new recreational members each year.

With 36 kilometres of groomed trails, night skiing, a public ski lodge and ski waxing facilities, the Kimberley Nordic Club (KNC) is a destination for over 5,800 members and visitors annually. The 2015/16 sea-

son saw over 130 memberships from folks based outside Kimberley/Cranbrook and over 4,700 day visitors, an increase of more than 30% over the previous season, reports Kimberley’s Director of Economic Development Kevin Wilson.

This year, cross country skiers can expect to ski on excellent trails, as the Club took possession of a new to them, 2013 snowcat groomer this week.

The snowcat replaces the Club’s well-used 1997 model.

The snowcat cost $260,000

and the KNC was able to raise $200,000 themselves, an impressive feat says Mayor Don McCormick.

“When a small group shows that kind of initiative and are able to raise that kind of money, funders are happy to help,” he said.

Giving the Club the extra boost to purchase the groomer was the Columbia Basin Trust, who contributed $36,000 and 24,000 from the BC Resort Municipality Initiative administered by the City of Kimberley.

“We are excited about this critical infrastructure investment through which we will continue to offer excellent Nordic skiing,” said Nordic Club Treasurer Ross Banner. “And we appreciate the support of the community and our funding partnership with the City, the Province of BC, and the Columbia Basin Trust.”

“The Nordic Centre is an awesome asset with the trails providing a premium experience,” said McCormick.

Giving Project on time and on budget roses for Meaghan FOR THE BULLE TIN

On September 29th Flowers Galore Gifts a n d More in Kimberley will c e l e brate the “Meag h a n ’s Friend and Neighbour Day For Kimberley”. The name has been changed in memory of the youngest daughter of Paddy and Sue Brown, who lost her life in a tragic accident on July 25th 2016. She loved Kimberley and epitomized the spirit of this event. Kimberley is recognized as a friendly, community oriented and “neighbourly” city and to help encourage that state of mind

through the gift of flowe r s, Flowers Galore will be giving away roses by the dozen and Kimberlites are encouraged to keep one for themselves and give eleven to neighbours, friends, family or co-workers.

Flowers Galore will give away 150 dozen roses on a first come first serve basis, starting at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday September 29th 2016. Supplies are limited to the first 150 neighbours!

The store is located in Kimberley square next to the Royal Bank.

There is ample parking in the Platzl Parking lot across the street if the spots are full.

From Page 1 “Staff is comfortable there will be no surprises. The bottom half should be open soon.”

Work continues on the top half, and those travelling up the hill should continue to expect delays.

“It’s going to be fantastic for the community to see Gerry Sorensen Way done,” McCormick said. “Just the visibility of it will give a positive impression.”

This is only the first of several major paving projects in Kimberley, he says.

“There are plans for other arterial roads,” he said. “We are looking at redoing 4th Avenue, Norton Avenue.”

While the Gerry Sorensen project’s entire $4.5 million cost was covered by grants, it’s not likely the city will get that lucky twice.

“We are going to have to pay,” McCormick said. “The chances of getting 100 per cent again, you can’t really count on that. So basically we have to have one third of

Delays will continue on the top half of Gerry Sorensen through October. The bottom half should open very soon. costs.”

Saving up those kind of reserves is the goal of Council, Mc-

Cormick said, although with interest rates so low, long term borrowing can be an option.

“The City is in a good position on long term debt. These are decisions that Council

will make as we move into the budgeting process.”

She will be handing out coupons during registration, so make sure you get yours before you start the run.

New snowcat From Page 1 “It is no surprise that visits are growing. This is exactly what the RMI fund is in place to support.” ““Over two million international visitors have come to B.C. in the first six months of 2016, a 12 per cent growth over the same period in 2015,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “Kimberley is clearly part of that success with a 30 per cent increase in day visits over the previous

season. Investing Resort Municipality Initiative funding into a new snowcat machine will encourage even more skiers to visit Kimberley, supporting jobs and keeping the local economy growing.”

In addition to the new snowcat groomer, the Nordic Centre parking lot is being improved with the potholes being filled asphalt grindings from the Gerry Sorensen Way repaving.

LOCAL NEWS The Way it Was Terry Segarty seeking MLA nomination for Kootenay East From Page 4 Grocery department manager, Guy Browell, is not new to the Kootenays, having been born and raised in Creston, B.C. Mr. Browell, now nine years with Overwaitea Company,is a shareholder in the Company, as are most employees and has served as manager in New Denver and more recently in Prince George.

SELFSERVICE MEAT DEPARTMENT CONVENIENCE FEATURE AT OVERWAITEA

Overwaitea’s new Self-Service Meat Department is truly the pride of the new market. Forty feet of gleaming display cases show off to the best advantage, a complete selection of fresh and cured meats, poultry and fish.

Immediately behind the display area is located the meat cutting area where the butchers can be seen cutting, trimming and preparing meat for pre-packaging. Meat is passed from the counter where all cuts are packaged, weighed and clearly pricemarked by the pound and piece, for sale.

CONVENIENCE

FOR SHOPPERS STRESSED

In planning and arranging the equipment and displays for the Overwaitea store, everything possible has been done to make shopping pleasant and convenient.

Wide shopping aisles are a feature of the new store planning and particularly so is the new produce, dairy, frozen food department, where extra wide aisles allow easy access to those foods that require extra time for careful selection.

Bright “centre island” lighting shows off the wide selection of clearly pricemarked merchandise.

Free customer parking is available to shoppers and immediately adjacent to the store entrance.

Four of the latest design, speedee checkouts, together with the finest itemizing cash register, ensures shoppers of accurate, efficient checkout service. *NOTE: This article describes the first Overwaitea Store in Kimberley. The current Store was built in 1972.

The original store was dismantled and used to build the church at the corner of Marsden Street and Rotary Drive.

2017 GRANTS TO NON-PROFITS & PERMISSIVE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS APPLICATIONS The City of Cranbrook is accepting for the 2017 Grants to Non-Profit Organizations and 2017 Permissive Property Tax Exemptions.

Community leader and business owner Terry Segarty is seeking the nomination for the Liberal MLA seat.

Segarty said his extensive experience in politics, business, and as a community volunteer, puts him in a unique position to maintain the effective representation we have enjoyed during the term of the current MLA. “I value the work Mr. Bennett did over his political career and thank him for his service,” said Segarty. “If chosen as your BC Liberal candidate, I will — with integrity, respect and transparency — provide a strong representative voice for the people of Kootenay East on the issues that matter most. I am experienced. I am knowledgeable. I can get to work and make an impact right away by focusing 100 per cent of my professional time and energy completely on the role of MLA.” Segarty is the presi-

Terry Segarty dent and chief operating officer of 2 Baker Developments Ltd., Terrim Property Management Ltd., and O’Shea’s Entertainment Inc. Previously, he was the owner, president, and chief operating officer of Birchwood Building Corporation; and a Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia representing the constituency of Kootenay East. In addition, he has served as Government Caucus Chair, and chaired the select standing committees for agriculture, environment and resources, and municipal affairs and housing.

Segarty is actively involved in the community. He is a director for the Royal BC Museum, president of the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society, as well as a member of the Salvation Army Community Council.

Previously, Segarty served as a director for the Cranbrook Regional Hospital and Green Home.

A long-time resident of Cranbrook, Segarty spends his free time with family, taking advantage of the abundant recreational opportunities the Kootenay region offers: fishing, hiking, bicycling, skiing and, every so often, chasing Pokémon Pikachu around town with his grandchildren.

Voting Day for BC Liberal Members to select BC Liberal candidacy in the Kootenay East riding is October 22. To learn more about Terry, visit www.terrysegarty. com or find him on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Campaign 2016 crash and burn

We

might as well be watching a 30-car pile-up the way Americans are holding hands over their eyes trying to avoid the grisly bits of the most grotesque presidential race we have witnessed in this, the second decade of the 21st Century. Of course, it’s only the 2nd election during that time, but still.

That is not to say 2012 wasn’t genuinely gruesome, with more than its share of cataclysmic collisions and demolition derby debacles, but this time they’re headed downhill faster than an 18-wheeler with burned out brakes carrying a load of nitroglycerine on the western slope of the Andes.

This is a race to rock bottom to see which team ends up least wrecked, and right now they’re both jostling for pole position. Everybody is losing paint riding into each other while running over rocky roads gouged by their own staffs. Must be why they call them pit crews.

You’ve heard the term “Accidents waiting to happen?” Well the opposite is “accidents waiting for a break in the action.” The two most polarizing drivers in the history of

American politics have veered into so many walls, both their nicknames could be Crash.

Recently the Donald and the Hillary pulled into the paddock to attack their opponent’s foreign policies, a shock to the majority of spectators who were unaware either had a foreign policy that didn’t consist on calling in air strikes on the other’s campaign. And tire irons swung at their fuel lines.

Now we’re getting to the point in this short track race where driver fatigue kicks in, and the unforced errors Will have begun to accumulate.

Durst Hillary Clinton said she was wrong to call half of Trump’s supporters a basket of deplorables. And she was wrong. It’s more like 63 percent.

Donald Trump used the Mexican president as a prop, then gave an immigration speech that spurred most of his Hispanic advisory board to resign. Although to be honest, Trump Hispanic Advisory Board sounds like Democratic Leadership Council. Trump also praised Vladimir Putin for being a strong leader with an 84 percent approval rating. It would be higher, but the KGB hasn’t been able to track down the other 16 percent. Yet.

Letters to the Editor

Even the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, got in trouble for not knowing what Aleppo was. Presumably he was thinking a small leopard or someone suffering from the initial stages of Hansen’s Disease.

Time is running out for all the major candidates to grab some clean air. Hillary needs to prove she’s not a robotic automaton who will do or say anything to get elected. And she intends to do that as soon as she installs a larger hard drive and updates her operating system. Pneumonia, right.

Trump knows he needs to assure the electorate he’s more than some spoiled rich guy whose diplomatic horsepower is measured in arrogant smirks; he’s even gone so far as to hire a female campaign manager to smirk for him.

The good news is the finish line is only two months away. The bad news is one of these lug nuts is going to take the checkered flag. The upside being, on November 8th, our long national nightmare will be over. Until November 9th, when the funny car race for 2020 begins. Gentlemen and ladies, prepare to start your engines.

really well.

“The guys battled hard and they competed. Their compete level and how they worked, was very, very impressive.”

It was the early season jitters that got the best of them, when the Riders opened the scoring 32 seconds into the game.

Fernie then had a 2-0 lead in the third before Kimberley got on the board. Local-boy, Caige Sterzer, banged home a rebound.

Sterzer was so excited to be in the game, and even more thrilled to score, “I was so pumped to be on the ice with my team on the home opener. We have a great new bunch of guys and coaching staff.

“I was honoured to score my first goal in front of friends, family and the home town.

For 59 minutes it was an entertaining and close game for the 607 in attendance at the Civic Centre. But the game finished in Fernie’s favour as they won 2-1 and led 29-21 in shots.

“Having 600 plus people there Friday, the boys fed off the energy of the crowd.” Stuart recalled.

“For a young team having their home opener against one of the pre-season favourites to win the league, the nerves were high, they were scored on the first, but they did very well.”

The Dynamiters followed up their one-goal loss on Friday with a one goal win on Saturday, defeating the Castlegar Rebels 4-3 in front of 351 fans.

In a moment of déjà vu, the Nitro’s gave up an early goal to the Rebels.

“For some reason, we are having a tough time at the start of a game and also the start of a period.

“Three of the five goals we have given up this year have come within the first minute of a period. We need to figure that out right away and fix it.”

The Nitro’s responded with three goals in the second frame.

“It was very encouraging to see from a coaching standpoint.

Because, if we can establish that as our model for the year it is a very good foundation.”

Korbyn Chabot set up Chase Miller for the first goal, and then Miller returned the favour and helped Chabot get the next goal. Sterzer restored the Dynamiters lead when he poked a loose puck in.

Man awarded Guinness record for successful lengthwise Lake Okanagan swim Canadian Press

The Guinness World Record website confirms endurance swimmer Adam Ellenstein has claimed the honour of the fastest, continuous lengthwise swim of British Columbia’s Okanagan Lake.

The confirmation comes about six weeks after the 39-year-old U.S. resident completed his 106.6 kilometre swim from Vernon to Penticton.

According to the Guinness World Record site, the official time of the gruelling feat was 40 hours, 57 minutes and 11 seconds.

Ellenstein’s swim began in the early hours of July 25 and wrapped up late the next night and Guinness says he is the first person to complete a lengthwise traverse of the lake.

The Guinness website says Ellenstein remained in the water at all times, receiving food and drink from a support team who paddled alongside him in two kayaks and passed him rations as needed.

The marathon swimmer who last year swam across Lake Winnipeg, dedicated this year’s marathon to increasing awareness of Parkinson’s disease because his aunt was recently diagnosed with the illness.

get Ketola the puck, and had no issue giving the Dynamiters a 4-3 lead. That was the score until the final buzzer sounded.

“It was awesome to be able to contribute to our teams first win of the season.”

Sterzer shared. “Now we just have to have a good week of practice and carry it on to next weekend against Golden and Fernie.”

The Dynamiters return to the ice this Friday when they host the Golden Rockets at the Civic Centre, game time is 7pm; and then host the Fernie Ghostriders in a rematch on Saturday at 7pm.

“I got suspended for dressing an ineligible player Friday for two games. I thought he was approved, but he was pending. That was my bad. It was my mistake. I will take ownership of that.”

COMICS Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can count on a partner. You energize others, though at times they find you unusually quirky.

Listen to your inner voice. You have always been independent and forthright; nothing has changed. You have unusually high energy, even for you. Tonight: Meet a pal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You demand a lot from yourself as well as from others. You might find it difficult to detach from a partner who is actively pursuing one of your mutual goals. Don’t be surprised by what is happening around you; just observe for now. Tonight: A force to be reckoned with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone at a distance. You might not be as sure of yourself around this person as you would like. Make the appropriate gesture, and be willing to run with someone else’s idea. A friend is likely to surprise you.

Tonight: Roll with the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Highlight one-on-one relating.

Understand what needs to occur in order to follow through on an associate’s great idea. You might want to ask more questions, but you are unlikely to have the time, and the other party is unlikely to have the patience.

Tonight: With a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others, and make sure you can go along with their ideas. Not only are you looking at a change in how you relate to and communicate with others, but by being less dominant, you also allow them to show their true colors. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Do something offbeat!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use the daylight hours to complete as much as you can. Some of you might want to catch up on emails, whereas others might want the solitary time to complete a project. Know that others are likely to make it difficult to stay focused. Tonight: You can’t say “no” to an invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your playfulness emerges and you are full of get-up-and-go, whereas others seem to be

Tundra

very serious. A situation could push you into fifth gear. A close associate or loved one might distract you with a surprise of sorts. Tonight: Start unwinding, as tiredness takes hold.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tension mounts. When you reverse course, know that you will stun many people, perhaps even a close friend. Taking responsibility for an impending potentially uncomfortable situation might feel better than you initially had thought. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are driven to achieve more of what you want. A friend or loved one will support your ideas -- not because he or she is close to you, but because he or she sees real value in them.

Listen to critiques; use them to tighten up your project. Tonight: Head home ASAP. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Security remains a high priority at the moment. You could be confused about the details of a project, but a meeting is unlikely to help you clarify them.

Go through all the information

and write down questions, then approach the appropriate person. Tonight: At a neighborhood haunt.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be quite assertive with a friend, or vice versa. Don’t allow negativity into a discussion. Accept this person’s point of view rather than attempt to change his or her mind. Understand the liability of being too open. Tonight: Indulge in a favorite pastime.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take some private time away from an authority figure in order to reflect. You need to establish your priorities in a way that this person will understand. The first reaction you get will not be the final reaction. Use caution with all money dealings. Tonight: Out and about.

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

the well is dry Dear Annie: A number of years ago, my parents trusted their money and retirement income to a financial adviser who was also a personal friend.

When my father passed away seven years ago, my mother became his beneficiary, with me being second in line.

My mother had a huge memorial celebration for my father, which cost a few thousand dollars and was attended by 100 people. Some time after that, I moved in with my mother, and we combined our Social Security income to be able to stay in her home.

My mother recently passed away unexpectedly, and while settling her affairs, I was informed that her investments have been terminated. It seems that the financial adviser set up the original investments to be surrendered back to the entities that were originally set up by my father. So funds I thought would continue do not.

What do I say to the friends and neighbors who are expecting a lavish party to celebrate my mother’s life? My mother did not wish for me to duplicate what she did for my father. But these folks keep asking me when the big party is going to be.

I don’t have funds for that, nor was it something my mother wished. Is there a way to respond without getting into specifically why I can’t afford it? -- Can Just Afford the Toast Dear Toast: The toast -- a heartfelt speech in memory of your loving mother -- is far more important than any lavish banquet or big party. If you’d like to have some response for when people ask when the “big party” is, you can simply tell them it’s not what your mother wanted. But you are not obligated to explain yourself to anyone.

I also would suggest talking to a lawyer or another financial adviser about what happened with your parents’ investments. It never hurts to get a second opinion.

Dear Annie: What advice do you have for retaining my credit? I was married for 17 years, and everything was in his name first. He became ill with cancer, and I was the primary breadwinner, paying our home off two years early and our truck loan six months early. He passed 10 years ago. I found out a few years back that I have no credit.

I have worked my butt off paying my bills, especially medical bills, to get my credit up. A year ago, I went online and checked my credit score.

It showed in the 700 range, which made me feel pleased with myself. But I just received two rejection letters for credit cards, one from Capital One and the other from Cato. Both say it is because I have no credit! Do I just start all over at the age of 51 and apply for first-time credit? I am at a loss and don’t know what to do. Family members have suggested I apply for a credit card with a small limit to get started, but I feel I wouldn’t be accepted. Help! -- Uncredited Dear Uncredited: Your best and safest bet is to get hooked up with a good financial adviser. Find a fee-only adviser by going to http://www.napfa. org. He or she can then assess your situation and present all your available options.

Aside from that, look into joining a credit union.

Credit unions are great for those establishing credit for the first time. You won’t get amazing credit overnight, but no one does. It will come with time, as you’re clearly a responsible person.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Married to a Louisville Hummer,” whose wife won’t stop humming and is driving him nuts. Well, I bet I know why she’s humming.

A few years ago, I dated a man who would say to me, “Elizabeth, you are humming.” While reading your column, I realized that this person was the only person I ever hummed around. I believe the reason was he made me tense because of his demeanor.

This uptight man had the need to brush his teeth five times each day, comb his hair each time he got into a car and comb it again as he exited.

His perfectionism in all matters must have had an effect on me that caused me to hum quietly rather than hit him over the head with his toothbrush.

Indigenous Liberal MP breaks ranks with government on Site C dam C anadian Press

OTTAWA - An indigenous member of the federal Liberal caucus is breaking ranks with his colleagues on B.C.’s controversial Site C project, saying he is not con-

vinced that two First Nations were properly consulted about the multibillion-dollar hydroelectric project.

Robert-Falcon Ouellette, MP for Winnipeg

Centre, said Tuesday he still has questions about a July decision by the Fisheries and Oceans Department authorizing construction of the dam on the Peace River.

Ouellette said he plans to raise the issue with Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc when Parliament resumes next week.

“I’m hoping I will ...

find some reasoning behind this decision and why it was made,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“I’m not convinced that, after having spo-

ken with some of the people who were travelling across the country, that they have been consulted and talked to and I’m not sure even that we meet the UN

Ouellette’s comments come after British Columbia First Nations leaders and activists condemned the federal government’s approach to the Site C dam project during a Tuesday rally on Parliament Hill.

The group travelled by bus to Ottawa from B.C., making stops along the way to raise awareness about their opposition to the project that would create an 83-kilometre-long reservoir and flood farmland along with traditional First Nations territory.

The Fisheries Department maintains the July permit approval followed “extensive First Nations consultations.”

“I recognize that there are those opposed to the B.C. Hydro clean energy project at Site C, but I also know that the regulatory process leading to the recent authorization to proceed was thorough and included comprehensive consultations with indigenous groups and other stakeholders,” LeBlanc said in a statement.

“The authorization also includes more than 40 conditions that must be adhered to by B.C. Hydro and our department will be monitoring compliance every step of the way.”

West Moberly First Nations Chief Roland Willson said Tuesday he strongly disagrees with the suggestion his community was appropriately consulted with prior to the approval.

LeBlanc held a meeting in Vancouver only days prior to the department’s decision, he added, noting the Liberals could have held off on an authorization while courts hear legal challenges on the project.

“It was well within their power to push the pause button on this until the court cases were done - they chose to ignore that,” Willson said. “The one-hour meeting that we had how does that constitute consultation?”

The federal government has also failed to explain its reasoning for approving the permit or respond to any additional questions, he said.

“We offered an olive branch and they took it and stabbed us in the face,” Willson said earlier Tuesday at the rally.
