City receives offer for former fire hall TREVOR CRAWLEY

The City of Cranbrook has received a conditional offer on the old fire hall, which has

been on the market since July 2015.

The news was announced by Mayor Lee Pratt on Wednesday at a

Chamber of Commerce luncheon where he gave an update on city business over the last year.

“I will tell you we

have accepted a conditional offer for the sale of the old fire hall,” Pratt told the crowd, adding that the potential buyer

is going through their due diligence in terms of investigating the structure, which requires significant engineering,

electrical and mechanical work.

“We expect this process to be wrapped up by mid-December at the

Integra Air shuts down Cranbrook service TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Integra Air is shutting down direct Cranbrook to Calgary flights after less than a year of service due to low passenger loads.

According to a press release from the company, there have been fluctuations in passenger loads, with increases in July and August.

However, passenger loads dipped afterwards, and the company was forced into making the decision.

“We are unable to sustain the air service with the current passenger loads,” read an Integra Air press release.

“We are very thankful to those who have supported us in the past with this endeavour and appreciate all of the help throughout the past year of service.”

All travel that has been booked through the company will be honoured. The last routes will be flown on Oct. 31, 2016 before shutting down permanently.

latest, at which point we can provide more details on the sale and what is expected to be developed there.”

The building, considered a heritage structure, was built in 1929 and recently served as the city’s fire hall until a new building was opened in 2011 on 2nd Street.

The old fire hall is on the block for $250,000 after a price drop of $99,000 in April 2016.

Council rezoned the property from P1 — Public Institutional, to C1, a designation that opens up the land use options for potential buyers.

Mayor delivers update to chamber members T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

Even though it doesn’t carry the pomp and circumstance of the U.S. State of the Union address, Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt provided an update on city business over the last year to members of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday.

Key themes included economic development, budget processes, and infrastructure upgrades, specifically roadwork, that has been completed over the last year.

And, Pratt added that he is bullish on the future of the city.

“Cranbrook is facing great potential eco-

nomically and socially, c o m m u n i t y - w i d e ,” Pratt said. “This requires changes in our organizational structure and development approval process.”

Pratt referenced changes in the city’s way of doing things, noting that departments are more streamlined under a reorganization from David Kim, the Chief Administration Officer.

This also includes a new way of doing budgets, as everything must be tagged as a need and presented with a business plan.

“All departments are on side with it,” Pratt said. “They’ve been told it’s no longer a

wants budget, it’s a needs budget, and if you bring something to it, you have to have a business plan attached to it explaining why we need it.”

On the subject of budgets, Pratt announced that the city’s tax increase will be 2.26 per cent, which includes the one per cent dedicated road tax.

He also touched on the city’s plan to borrow $10 million for road work next year and said it is better to tackle it now before there is a larger deficiency in the infrastructure.

Changes have been made to clean up some bylaw language, while

“It’s no longer a wants budget, it’s a needs budget, and if you bring something to it, you have to have a business plan attached to it explaining why we need it.”

Lee Pratt development approval processes were updated, which Pratt hopes will encourage developers to look at projects in Cranbrook.

The city has partnered with Kimberley and the business community to form the Cranbrook Kimberley Development Initiative, which has close to $500,000 in no-stringsattached funding for marketing campaigns.

MGX Minerals is still planning to set up a processing plant in Cranbrook, as mining samples have returned a higher concentration of magnesite than originally thought.

Dycar Pharmaceuticals is still on track to set up a medical marijuana production facility, however, the company is still waiting on final federal approval from Health Canada.

Western Financial Place was another bright spot, as Pratt highlighted concert events from Collective Soul, Johnny Reid, George Thorogood and Teresa Caputo.

Pratt also lauded city staff for landing the upcoming Grand Slam of Curling in November and the Rogers Hometown Hockey event in February.

He also teased some upcoming events that should generate some excitement.

“Staff are in discussion with a variety of promoters for five different concert events for the first half of 2017 and unfortunately those have to remain

confidential for now, but we’re working hard to get them here,” Pratt said.

Construction on a new dam at Idlewild Lake is currently underway and should be completed by October.

However, the city is also planning on revitalizing the park and will be tweaking a draft plan after presenting it to the public at an open house on Tuesday.

“Next year is when the enhancements to the park are expected to start,” Pratt said. “It will once again be a very enjoyable experience for Cranbrook citizens, Area C residents and visitors to Cranbrook.”

Drop off entries at Cranbrook Townsman Ofce 822 Cranbrook St. Cranbrook entry deadline is noon Sept 27.

Don Gawne was the mastermind behind the whole gardening operation at Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook.

This gardener truly helped to acquire a true sense of community. He shared his knowledge and inspired other residents to grow their own plants. Don really encouraged residents to get up and get moving, not through his words but his drive and ambition.

Don was not the only one involved in Joseph Creek’s great gardening season. He had staff involved from all departments and even motivated family members to help out with watering when they came to visit. Many different people reminisced about their farms back home and the progress

of the crops on the Mt. Stevens Deck Garden; it was the talk of the care village.

Don grew up on a farm in Creston, where he learned as a child the ins and outs of gardening. He says they had to farm in those days as there was no McDonald’s or Wendy’s around.

Don’s friend Paul assisted him in many jobs like hauling dirt and fixing the planters with Daryl, the maintenance crew, and other staff.

Paul even helped to water the plants while Don was away. They managed to turn gardening into an inclusive comedic event for other residents to watch while they tinkered away at the planters with their tools.

The project may have been independently driven but Don was happy to share this project with everyone, It became not only his project but “The Care Village Summer Project.” As Don sits back he says “Who ever thought it would turn out like it did?”

“More beds mean more people can get their lives back,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Bed by bed, we are following through on our commitment to create new substance use treatment beds, so families can be made whole again, and communities can benefit from engaged, healthy members.”

These 57 support recovery beds are part of IH’s commitment in April to create 73 new substance use treatment beds including 16 withdrawal management beds. They’re also part of the Province’s commitment to add 500 additional substance use spaces throughout British Columbia.

Bennett muses on the qualities the next MLA will need BARRY COULTER

After 16 years in the hurly burly of British Columbia politics, Bill Bennett finds himself in an unfamiliar place.

“Politics is a rough sport,” the Kootenay East MLA told the Townsman this week.

“There’s lots of bodychecking, a few elbows, a little charging, and from time to time the odd fight. I’m not so much accustomed to the place that I seem to be right now — elder statesman on his way towards retirement in six months.”

Bennett said that since he announced his pending retirement, “people have been very kind — all these folks who are coming up to me in the riding, emails and phone calls, people dropping into the office.

It’s really quite rewarding.

“And it’s caused me to think of all I’ve got here, and it’s somewhat germane to what’s going on, with this renewal with both parties.”

Indeed, the autumn political season in Kootenay is heating up.

Bennett’s pending retirement is leaving a vacuum that Tom Shypitka, David Wilks and Terry Segarty are seeking to fill on the B.C. Liberal side, and Randal

Macnair and Norma Blissett on the NDP side — each seeking the nomination for their respective parties.

The political swirl has given Bennett pause, to reflect on what he believes it takes to be a successful MLA for the riding, regardless of party affiliation. It starts with the rural-urban divide that often separates areas of the hinterland like Cranbrook from the major urban centres of the province. This was very pronounced when Bennett was first elected 16 years ago.

“We were not on the radar in Victoria, or in Vancouver, in terms of the business community, or in the media,” Bennett said. “And as far as the cabinet went, we were off the map. People didn’t know where the area was. And I found a tremendous amount of ignorance, even apathy, as far as the East Kootenay goes.”

Over the years, that began to change.

“I probably brought every cabinet minister that ever served through the riding,” Bennett said. “I’ve gotten all sorts of media attention to the riding in itself. Before I was a minister — and there were various periods of time in my

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

Billl Bennett speaks at a media scrum following the announcement of his retirement June 22, 2016, in Cranbrook. career when I was not a minister — I gave speeches on Cranbrook, on people in the riding. I tried to generate some interest in the riding.

The profile of the riding came way up.”

But, Bennett added, the key is the way the individual elected represents his or her constituents. Previous experience is not necessarily a key factor.

“I was 50 years old when I first got elected, and I didn’t know the first thing about being an MLA, or even about politics,” Bennett said.

“And people sometimes forget that.

“They think, ‘oh, we have to have someone with a whole lot of experience.’ I think what’s really important … is that it’s about the quality of the individual, it’s

about the character of the individual, the work habits of the individual.”

An MLA, Bennett thinks, should grow into the job.

“The reasons for getting into politics — is it because the person wants to help others? Or is it because they just want a position? Are they going to Victoria to be somebody, or are they going to Victoria to do something?

“I would go so far as to say that political experience when you’re first starting is not necessarily an asset. It can actually be a detriment.

You’re better off to go in completely open-minded, learn what needs to be done, and then do it your own way, without a bunch of so-called experts telling how you should go about being

EYE ON YOUR CITY

Kimberley and Marysville Water Line Flushing – In order to ensure safe drinking water and maintain the Water Distribution System, the City annually flushes water lines in the community using City fire hydrants. The City will be flushing hydrants throughout the community beginning in Townsite (Lois Creek area) and moving through the entire system.

Residents may notice discoloration in the water during this process. Please note that this is not a public health concern. The City monitors the quality of the water during this process. Flushing and maintenance operations will be underway during the next several weeks. In the event that cloudy water is experienced, turn on an outside tap (preferred) or your bathtub faucet and run until the water clears up. For further information please contact the Operations & Environment Services Department at 250.427.9660.

Be Bear Smart - There have been several bear sightings recently within the City and on the Rails to Trails. Bears are in search of food before going into hibernation. Some simple steps to follow to help avoid a run-in with bears are: •

Store garbage in a secure building or a bear proof container until pickup.

Do not put it out for collection before 5:00 a.m. on the day of collection.

•

Pick all fruit off your trees daily and allow the fruit to ripen indoors. Do not allow fruit to accumulate on the ground.

•

Take birdfeeders inside at night until winter begins and keep the ground clear of spilled birdseed.

•

Keep pets and pet food indoors, if pets are fed outside please ensure the food is all cleaned up.

•

Ensure that your BBQ is completely cleaned after use, making sure to clean the grease trap thoroughly.

Using common sense all year round helps limit human-bear conflict, but being extra cautious right now will aid in saving a bear’s life and help to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Remember, a fed bear is a dead bear! For more information on living with wildlife please visit our website at: http:// www.kimberley.ca/community/safety-health-environment/wildlife#Bears. To report wildlife-human interaction where public safety is an immediate risk, please call the Conservation Officer Service RAPP line at 1.877.952.7277.

Bylaw Reminder – When leaving a message for the Animal Control/ Bylaw Enforcement Officer, please remember to leave your name and contact information. All calls will be kept confidential, anonymous calls cannot be dealt with. Thank you for your understanding.

Speed Signs – The City of Kimberley is urging motorists to please obey all road speed signs within City limits. Please be extra cautious in school and playground zones, as school is now back in session.

an MLA. “You listen to people, and you’ll find out what needs to be done.”

Bennett said that to bridge that rural-urban divide, it is often necessary to “swim upstream.”

“And you have to really push back against the political machine — you have to push back against the party sometimes, you have to push back against the leader’s office sometimes, you have to push back against just about everybody sometimes, just to represent your constituents the way you believe is honest and true,” he said. “And that doesn’t take political experi-

ence. That takes character. And sometimes you have to swim upstream, even when it doesn’t make everybody happy in Victoria. “That’s what we need. We’re a long way from Victoria. And they’ll forget about us again if they don’t have that representation.”

Bennett said its important for a new MLA to find the balance between “that independence of mind, and the need to have friends in Victoria, to respect your colleagues, to respect the leader, to respect the party. I found that balance, and it wasn’t easy.

And frankly, I hope we elect somebody who’s not a slave to politics,

who’s not a slave to the party.”

Bennett added that he’s confident the B.C. Liberals can retake Kootenay East in the 2017 provincial election.

“But I think the issue is long-term — where you want to be four years, eight years, 12 years down the road. It takes four years for anybody to really learn the job. Then, if they get re-elected — and if they do a good job they will get re-elected — then you get quite useful, and will eventually get into cabinet. The concern for me is not getting someone elected — my concern is over the longer term.”

Look at all the money we’ve saved and I told you just three would kill you, you! Except you didn’t save so much as would you take a handful? That’s our Syri- just delay an increase that is sure to happen some time in the future — say a week an refugee problem.”

Wow. There’s a lot I could say, but I’m or so after next spring’s election.

perception that it’s the NDP that means higher taxes. That’s going to be an uphill battle, especially with the province next door as an example of the NDP in action.

The BC Liberals are 15 years into their mandate and I find it rather interesting that the normal fatigue one would see with a government after that length of time doesn’t seem to apply here. Now there was a leadership change mid-way through, a boon for the BC Liberals as Gordon Campbell fatigue was definitely setting in. But you don’t get the sense that people are that sick of Christy Clark, not like last year during the federal election when Stephen Harper fatigue was at an all time high.

The Anyone But Harper sentiment was strong, and it was a tidal wave the Conservatives had no hope of overcoming. The Anyone But The BC Liberals sentiment may be a gentle wave lapping the shores of Saltspring Island but it doesn’t appear to be spreading across the province to any great degree. Thus far, there is no appreciable sense of Clark-fatigue, and it perplexes me a bit. Fifteen years is a long time for any government.

I’m going to have to chew on a bowl of poisonous Skittles and ponder this.

Opinion/Events

Who Would ISIS Vote For? “H illary Clinton’s weakness while she was Secretary of State has emboldened terrorists all over the world to attack the US, even on our own soil,” wrote Donald Trump on Facebook after the bombing in New York on Saturday. “They are hoping and praying that Hillary Clinton becomes president, that they can continue their savagery and murder.”

Mrs. Clinton replied on Monday by branding the Republican presidential candidate a “recruiting sergeant for the terrorists.” Indeed, in an interview on Israeli television this month, Mrs. Clinton said Islamic State was praying for a Trump victory.

There’s clearly a lot of praying going on, but whose victory are the jihadi fanatics really praying FOR? There’s no point in asking them, because they are likely to lie about it . At least half of them are smart enough to realise that if Islamist extremists openly express a preference for one candidate, American voters will tend to back the other. (Tactical voting is a time-honoured practice, but it does encourage tactical lying.)

Besides, it’s really hard for the opinion pollsters to contact a statistically valid sample of the fighters of Islamic State by phone. We’re going to have to figure out their views without their help – but happily, this is not very hard to do. Their weapon is terrorism, and there is a clear, universally acknowledged doctrine on how that weapon works.

Some truly stupid things were said and

done in the first years after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. “They are attacking us because they hate our values!”, for example, or “We’ll invade Iraq and root them out!”

(There were no terrorists in Iraq before the invasion.) But a new generation of Western soldiers has finally grasped how terrorism works. The terrorists themselves, of course, knew it all along.

Three basic facts about terrorism. First, it is the weapon of choice for the weak, because it does not require a large army, sophisticated weapons or a lot of money.

Secondly, without those assets, terrorists must not engage in frontal Gwynne assaults and stand-up battles against powerful opDyer ponents (usually governments) who do have them.

Thirdly, it can therefore only succeed by tricking those more powerful forces into doing things that really serve the terrorists’ purposes.

What is the ultimate goal of Islamic State and similar jihadi groups? Obviously, it is to come to power in various parts of the Muslim world. If they ever manage to become a government they may develop further ambitions (for then they would have a large army and lots of money), but taking power is the crucial first step.

Clearly the terrorists do not have mass support in their own countries, or they would already be in power. In order to build that mass support – it doesn’t have to be majority support, but they do need a lot of people behind them – they need a villain that will push people into their arms.

That villain can be either the government that currently rules the country, or a foreign power that invades the country, but in either case it must be provoked into behaving very badly. Only torture chambers and/or cluster bombs will make the mass of the population so desperate that they turn to the revolutionaries for help.

To get the torture and the bombing going, the target government must become so frightened and enraged that it starts using them on a large scale. That’s what the terrorism is actually for: to make governments over-react and behave very badly. Then the terrorists might actually build enough support to win.

Terrorism is not just blind hatred. It is a technique used by ruthless but intelligent leaders with coherent strategies and clear political goals, and the violence is never “senseless”. Bin Laden’s strategy in carrying out the 9/11 attacks, for example, was to provoke the United States into invading Muslim countries.

It worked, and the invasions gave a huge boost to the popularity of the jihadi movement. Indeed, Islamic State and its clones could never have gained power without those invasions.

All terrorism is a kind of political jiujitsu, in which a relatively weak group tries to goad a far stronger force into doing something very big and stupid. Terrorism doesn’t just thrive on over-reaction. It cannot succed without it.

So now ask yourself: which of the American presidential candidates is more likely RUN TIL END OF APRIL - STOP FOR to over-react toSUMMER a terrorist provocation?

The Distasteful Prosperity Gospel

In

the last three weeks, I’ve sketched out an emerging portrait of Jesus.

We saw the human Jesus, a peasant living among other peasants under the brutal rule of the Roman Empire in 1st century Palestine.

Given that kind of portrait, it should come as no surprise that in my opinion (humble or not!), the so– called prosperity gospel is a corrupt and repugnant mis– reading of the gospel. It is completely incompatible with the teaching of Jesus.

It is true that there are hints of it in the Old Testament, and particularly in Deuteronomy.

For example, Deuteronomy 7:12–14 reads, “If you heed these ordinances, by diligently observing them, the Lord your God will maintain with you the covenant loyalty that he swore to your ancestors; he will love you, bless you, and multiply you; he will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the issue of your flock, in the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you.

You shall be the most blessed of peoples.”

That passage, and others like it, seem to draw a straight line between obedience to God and blessings for God’s obedient people. But we need to be careful about such readings. There are other words in Deuteronomy such as, “Give liberally and be ungrudging when you do so, for on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.” (15:10) In other words, God’s blessings are not meant to be hoarded; they are to be shared liberally, cheerfully, ungrudg-

ingly.

But this kind of thinking is not found in Jesus’ teachings. Jesus said things like “You cannot serve both God and money” or “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” or “Sell all that you have and give it to the poor”.

The so–called prosperity gospel is an insipid heresy which has, regrettably, grown in popularity among Christians in North AmeriRev. Yme ca. It teaches that God blessWoensdregt es those whom God favours with material wealth. It is not surprising that it has boomed in recent years. Simply put, it fuels human greed.

Three televangelists are commonly viewed as founders of the prosperity gospel movement—Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and Frederick K.C. Price. This movement took hold in the 1970’s and 1980’s (how recent it is!). Oral Roberts was one of the best–known proponents of prosperity theology. In 1987 he told his television flock that God would call him home if he didn’t raise $8 million in a matter of weeks. He raised $9.1 million.

The trend continues with hucksters like Joel Osteen, the 53–year–old head of Lakewood Church in Houston. His TV ministry reaches more than 7 million viewers; his books have sold millions of copies. “God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us,” Osteen wrote in a 2005 letter to his flock.

As crass as that may sound, Osteen’s version of the prosperity gospel is more gentle (and decidedly less sweaty) than

those preached by such co–religionists as Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes and the appropriately named Creflo Dollar (I swear, I’m not making this up.)

Teaching the faithful to store up treasures on earth as a primary goal of faithful living is completely at odds with the teaching of Jesus. The prosperity gospel turns Christian faith into a vapid club which blesses greed with a doctrine that amounts to little more than a spiritual Magic 8 Ball: If you pray the right way, God will make you rich.

But if you’re not rich, then what? Does that mean God has cursed the poor? Have they somehow been less faithful than the rich? And if God were so concerned about Mercedes and mansions and material gain, why would God’s son have been born into poverty? Why would Jesus have been a peasant?

Nowhere has the prosperity gospel flourished more than among the poor and the working class. Told that wealth is a sign of God’s grace and favor, followers strive for trappings of luxury they can little afford in an effort to prove that they are blessed spiritually. Some critics have gone so far as to place part of the blame for the past decade’s spending binge and foreclosure crisis at the foot of the prosperity gospel’s altar.

Jesus was born poor, and he died poor.

During his earthly tenure, he spoke time and again about the importance of spiritual wealth and health. When he talked about material wealth, it was usually part of a cautionary tale.

Raffle Draws, 50/50 Draws & Door Prizes

Last season, the Kootenay Ice struggled to find the success that this town is used to seeing from their WHL team. With league and franchise lows in both wins and goals scored, the team needs to come back to life. To regain their competitive edge, they can no longer just be regular old hockey players — they’ll need to be superheroes. Sports Editor Brad McLeod takes a look at who’s got what it takes.

SUPERMAN: ZAK ZBOROSKY

If the Ice want to be a strong contender in the WHL this year, Zborosky’d better get his cape on. Last season he was the team’s point leader and now that he’s entering his fourth and final season with Kootenay, there will be substantial pressure for him to be consistently ‘super’ again this year.

Although he missed 14 games due to injury last year, he was their ‘Man of Steel’ in 2014-15, when he played all 72. If he can do that again, it should help their consistency up front. Zborosky fought his way

BATMAN: PAYTON LEE

Kootenay’s man behind the mask will need to provide some heroics this season for the Ice to stand a fighting chance against their opposition. A new acquisition for the team this year, Lee needs his athleticism and technical prowess to shine as he returns to his own

THE WONDER TWINS: KEENAN AND KAEDEN TAPHORN

Zak Zborosky (RW) into the big city this summer, earning a spot at the NHL’s New York Rangers prospect camp and tournament, and now that he’s back in Smallville, the team needs him to lead the way. personal Gotham — Cranbrook, the community he grew up in. A big and highly intelligent goalie, who has a lot of experience in some of the darkest areas of the league (he played on the 21-win Vancouver Giants in 2013), Lee may be the hero the Ice deserve and the one they need right now.

ROBIN: DECLAN HOBBS

Although Lee will be getting the start in the Ice’s opening game, Hobbs has been impressing the coaching staff as of late and the team could very well have a dynamic duo between the pipes. Hobbs is a couple of years younger than Lee, and a couple pounds lighter, but the young ward needs to prove that he can give the Ice a chance every time he gets the start. If Hobbs and Lee can push each

For those who aren’t familiar with the 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, “The Super Friends”, The Wonder Twins are a sibling pair of extraterrestrial superhero twins. One has the power to transform into any form of water and the other can turn into any animal. If the Ice want to be a super team, they need the Taphorn

twins to tap into their own unique power to turn any puck into a bucket of goals. The rookie brothers have the potential to do precisely that, just like they did in 2014-15 during their final year of Bantam hockey with the Yorkton Terriers, where they combined for 71 goals in just 31 games. It will help the Ice if they can activate their twin powers this season.

THE FLASH: CALE FLEURY

With the departure of the now 21-year old Tanner Lishchynsky on the backend, Cale Fleury may very well have to be superhuman to keep opponents from lighting up the scoreboard.

Speed will be a big factor to his success, as his ability to quickly rush the puck, suddenly appear for a big hit and fire a mach 12 slapshot could certainly help lead the Ice to victory.

There are many who think Fleury is up to the task. He’s already been listed in the official

Cale Fleury (D) 2016-17 Central Scouting’s Futures List and was listed by TSN analyst Craig Button as a “Player to Watch”. If he can start off the year like a bolt of lightning, watch out!

AQUAMAN: MATT ALFARO

Declan Hobbs (G) other for the starting position it could help the Ice’s goaltending, as having a highly skilled sidekick is always a good idea.

At 20 years old and entering his fourth season with the Ice, Alfaro has developed into quite possibly the team’s slipperiest player. If he can continue to find open space and slide past defenders with the ease he did in some games last season, not only will he have an impressive final WHL season, but he’ll help rack up team wins. The way Aquaman takes to the water, Alfaro will have to

Hitmen in the crosshairs on opening weekend Home and home series with Calgary to show what Ice are made of BRAD MCLEOD

It’s been six months since Jakob Stukel scored the lone goal in a shootout that closed the Kootenay Ice’s worst season ever on yet another losing note. The Calgary Hitmen winger may have sent the 12,083 fans — who attended last year’s regular season closer at the Scotiabank Saddledome — home happy, but he also delivered one last blow to a team that didn’t have a lot to smile about last year.

Tonight, the Kootenay Ice will kick off their season back in Calgary for the first of a back-toback series with their arch-rivals, and it’s safe to say that there’ll be no need to drum up any extra motivation on the Kootenay side.

Last season, the Ice dropped all seven of their games against the Hitmen during a disappointing year that only produced 12 wins and 31 points in 72 games, and caused them to miss the playoffs for the first time in their 18 year history. The Hitmen also capped off the Ice’s 0-5 preseason on September 17, beating them 2-1 in Crowsnest, AB. “Calgary is our biggest rival and has been from day one, it’s the big city versus the small city,” Ice President and GM, Jeff Chynoweth, said about his expecta-

tions for game one. “For our [new] players it’s going to be a big adjustment playing in an NHL arena [and] I think it will be an exciting time for all our guys.”

“We were in overtime three times [during the preseason]. Knowing that we were that close makes us even hungrier for a win.”

Cale Fleury

While Chynoweth was quite clear on what he thought of their lack of pre-season victories, saying he’s “never [cared] and never will” about preseason results, for Coach Luke Pierce and the players, they’re using it as motivation for this weekend.

“There’s a little bit of extra drive to get a win, for sure,” Pierce told the Townsman after practice on Monday. He added that he was really impressed with the way the team came together during their last preseason game, against Calgary, and it was just un-

fortunate that they couldn’t get the win.

The players were also encouraged by their evolution over the preseason, despite the lack of results, and feel that they’re in good shape to take on Calgary over the weekend.

“We feel good, we’ve had a couple of practices, we need to finish off the week strong here and do some more game-like situations and we’ll be good,” veteran centre Matt Alfaro said. “It would’ve been nice in the preseason to get a win under the belt, especially for the younger guys, but it’ll be even sweeter when we get our first during the regular season.”

Third-year defenseman Cale Fleury, agreed, pointing out that their goose-egg win record didn’t tell the full story of the preseason.

“We were in overtime three times,” Fleury said.

“Knowing that we were that close makes us even hungrier for a win.”

While Coach Pierce has remained tight lipped on what exactly the opening day roster and lineup combinations will look like — other than saying Payton Lee will start in net — Fleury and Alfaro both indicated that they know the first three lines and it’s only the fourth that could be a surprise.

One of the biggest lineup decisions will be who plays with the Taphorn twins. Keenan and Kaeden Taphorn are highly touted rookie wingers from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, who the Ice united late last year, and should play on Friday. According to Pierce, fellow rookies Michael King, Eli Lieffers or Tanner Sidaway are the three possible candidates to fill the centre with the Taphorns.

Both Alfaro and Fleury have been very impressed by the young blood who have been injected into the team this season. “A lot of the younger guys are really skilled, pretty fast skaters and they work hard,” Fleury said. “That’s good to see.”

From top to bottom, the Ice have been working hard in the off-season to avenge their last season. Last year, Calgary and Kootenay never felt more apart.

The two were on polar opposite spectrums of the attendance records, the number of NHL prospects, and placing in the league standings.

This weekend, they’ll have the Hitmen firmly in their crosshairs and hopes are high that they’ll finally be able to pull the trigger on a win, after a year of futility against their Goliath.

A weekend of women’s college basketball action is set to descend on Cranbrook, as teams from the West Coast, and Alberta are ready to clash for the Battle at the Border tournament.

There has been a venue change, as the tournament was originally planned to take place at the College of the Rockies gymnasium. However, with the COTR renovations currently underway, the event has shifted to Mount Baker Secondary School gymnasium.

The event pits college and university basketball teams that normally would not face each other, as the squads get some exhibition games in before the start of their seasons.

Camosun College Chargers and Capilano University Blues are two teams representing British Columbia and the PACWEST league, while four teams are coming in from Alberta.

From the South Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference are the St. Mary’s Lightning and

the Ambrose University Lions, while Concordia University Thunder and Augustana University Vikings hail out of the North ACAC. While the teams get some good competition against each other, the tournament also serves as a fundraiser for the East Kootenay PART Y Program through ticket sales.

Over the three days of basketball action, tickets are $10 daily or $20 for a weekend pass.

Nitros shuffle roster, again JOSH LOCKHART

The Kimberley Dynamiters have shuffled their roster again as the trickledown effect continues. The Nitros signed forwards Matt Davies (‘98) and Connor Kendall (‘98), plus defenceman George Bertoia has returned to the team.

Kendall is a 6’1” forward from Calgary who played six games with the Calgary Canucks of the AJHL before having his season

cut short due to injury.

The Canucks sent him to the Dynamiters on a rehabilitation assignment.

“Kendall is a big strong guy, who is physical, and who can put the puck in the net,” Head Coach and Gener-

intimidate guys. I’m looking forward to seeing him play.”

With the return of Bertoia, Stuart was able to move James Rota back up to forward. It also meant that three forwards — Kyle Cornford (‘98), Logan Middleton (‘98), and Taylor Girard (‘98) — were released.

“Unfortunately you have to release guys that you don’t want to, and guys that could probably play elsewhere in the league,” Stuart said. “It’s a good thing when you have players that you have to make hard decisions on, who we keeping and who we are not.

You could be making a mistake, time will tell.

I’m really happy with the team right now. We feel we have a real strong group of forwards. We have improved our hockey club by bringing in Davies and Kendall.”

The Nitros are on the road this weekend for their lone game on Saturday against the Golden Rockets at the Golden Arena. Puck drop is 7:30pm.

al Manager Derek Stuart said. “[The Canucks] sent him here to play hockey again and to get into the swing of things.”

Davies is from Airdrie, AB, and played Midget AAA with the CFR Bisons. He scored three goals and picked up six assists in 34 games, adding four goals and two assists in 11 playoff games. The Bisons went to their league finals last season. Davies was a late cut from the Bonnyville Pontiacs.

“Davies is going to help a lot. He is very fast. He works extremely hard,” Stuart said.

Bertoia, who was the Dynamiters Rookie of the Year last season, is back with the Nitros after starting the season in the AJHL with the Drumheller Dragons.

“He’s definitely going to be one of our top defensemen, by what everyone is telling me. I’ve only seen him in practice,” Stuart said on Bertoia’s impact on the lineup. “I expect him to play his own game, and to pick up where he left off last year. Being that physical presence out there, making it tough for other forwards to get to the net; [and] using his physical stature to

Greening the book deserts of America It Mike Selby

was called the Fillmore Street Reference Project, and its sole purpose was to get library books into the hands of people.

While this may seem like a no-brainer, it was anything but in the San Francisco of 1968.

At that time, the Fillmore Street Public Library was adjacent to the city’s largest concentration of poverty —what was commonly called back then a “ghetto.”

While extreme poverty certainly wasn’t unique to it, the Bay Area city had one of the largest concentrations of the poorest people in all of the United States.

And they had no use for the public library.

It wasn’t the Fillmore Street Public Library itself they detested, or libraries in general. It was just the simple fact that the library represented yet another oppressive government institution, one with “forms to fill out, papers to sign, and cards to carry around.”

The only way around this, would be for the Fillmore Street Library to flip things entirely around, which is exactly what they did. For the entire summer of 1968, the library would come to you.

Driving a car into the heart of the impoverished area, a librarian would unload a box of books on the vehicle’s

hood, and engage the curious and/ or those passing by. The books on display could be borrowed by anyone, no card or identification needed. The only questions asked were what type of books or information was desired, and then that would be brought out to them the following day.

This program was an incredible success. With no card, and no possibility of tracking down a borrowed book, 90 percent of all items borrowed were returned.

‘Dr. Spock’s Baby & Child Care’ and ‘Motor’s Auto Manual’ were the most requested resources, followed by books by Eldridge Cleaver and Malcolm X. A comparison of books requested with those by patrons who visit the actual library found that the street people’s reading level was as high as anyones.

This isn’t the case in 2016.

A recent study by Columbia University has found that high-poverty areas in Los Angeles, Detroit, and Washington, DC, it is all but “impossible for a kid to find something to read.” Labelled “Book Deserts” by the researchers, the name is an apt one for their shocking findings.

One example is the Anacostia district of Southern Washington, where 61 per cent of children live well below the pov-

erty line. A block by block search of the area could “found no books for preschool-aged kids, and just five children’s books overall, all of them Spanish dictionaries.”

Yet even if parent wanted to get a book into the hands of their children, this has become just about impossible.

Brick and Mortar book stores are rare enough, but they simply don’t exist in the lower income neighbourhoods. Only two per cent of businesses in these areas sell print material — but these are newspapers and magazines for adult readers.

As in 1968 San Francisco, the public libraries in these neighbourhoods are seen as oppressive government institutions, with less than eight per cent of the impoverished visiting them. Columbia Univeristy found that “statistically, poor families are far less likely to utilize public libraries, whether it’s because they’re not acclimated to using them or because they’re worried about being charged late fines, or because they’re skeptical of putting their name on a card associated with a government entity.”

Enough is enough, was the fortunate reaction of all those who were struck by these dreadful findings. Columbia University, the American Library Asso-

ciation, and corporate sponsor JetBlue Airways came up with a unique solution: book vending machines.

With “Soar Into Reading” emblazoned across the sides, various book vending machines have

been placed throughout identified book deserts, beginning with Anacostia. Unlike other vending machines, these ones accept no money. All one has to do is enter age and interest, and books are provided free of

charge. As of today, the Anacostia vending machines have distributed 27,000 books.

Now that children’s books are no longer hard to come by, and with JetBlue having committed another $2 million worth

of books, it is hoped book deserts will—like the San Francisco ghetto of the late 60s—will be a thing of the past.

What's the secret to Toyo's winter traction?

WARNING: Although Toyo uses purified walnut shells and a reaction is unlikely, it is suggested not to chew on our tires, especially when the vehicle is moving!

We've got nuts!

Toyo uses purified crushed walnut shells, a renewable resource, in their Observe line of winter tires that act like tiny spikes that bite into any slippery surface. Toyo also uses other technologies for unbeatable winter traction. Some not so nutty!

In

June of each year, I look forward to my salmon fishing trip to Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands).

For about ten years now I have been booking with the Queen Charlotte Lodge. I have tried other lodges in the area and some are very good, but QCL offers me exactly what I want, that being, a converted tugboat called the MV Driftwood, which is anchored right on the fishing grounds in one of the quiet bays. This boat accommodates up to 12 guests on board, and all of us who are fortunate enough to stay there, enjoy the longest fishing day on the coast.

Like the QCL 5-Star main lodge it also features a private chef, but the Driftwood has a crew that are such characters, they remind me at times of the cast on the old TV series Gilligan’s Island. Always friendly, always helpful, but just a tad bit off the wall. The fact they are like that is probably why I, and so many others who stay there actually fit right in. It’s the perfect place for the keenest of anglers with a sense of humour, who just can’t bear to leave the water after a great day’s fishing.

The fishing is always good but depending on the various runs of salmon and when they are passing through, some years have been better than others. It’s never ever boring though, even on days when the fish are not biting very well, because on any given day you are going to likely have up close and personal visits from killer whales, Humpback whales, eagles, sea lions, and a myriad of different kinds of sea birds. Some days the sunsets are spectacular as well. For me, every day spent there is an adventure and I have acquired many fond memories over the years, one of which would be impossible to forget, because the chances of it happening again are pretty much zero to none. This is the story of the Miracle on Hali-Hill.

On a dead flat calm morning, my fishing guide, Lance Mercer, suggested we try for halibut at a place the locals call Halibut Hill. It’s quite a distance from the preferred salmon fishing grounds, but on days when the water is calm and the weather is nice, it is usually only a

Friday, September 23, 2016 Page 19

Outdoors

The Miracle on Halibut Hill 25-30 minute boat ride from where the Driftwood is anchored. Fish of 75 to 150 pounds are not uncommon, and according to Lance, this was the place we had our best chance to hook a monster. Water depths range from 250 to 300plus feet so when fishing with a heavy weight and a spreader bar set-up it can be quite tiring just to reel the line up from the bottom repeatedly.

The guides here back-troll and drift this spot trying to avoid snags on the bottom, but the bottom and subsequent structure, is where large halibut spend much of their time feeding, so it’s worth taking the chance.

The possession limit in this region for halibut is two and only one of the two halibut in your possession may be over 83 cm in length, and the maximum length for retainment of a fish is 133 cm. The previous day in another location I had already boated my ‘under 83” so today we were looking specifically for the “over.”

An unexpected catch off Haida Gwaii

The Queen Charlotte Lodge’s fishing boat ‘The Driftwood’ We had plenty of action almost immediately and I caught a beautiful 11 pound red snapper (delicious eating fish) and we hooked several smaller halibut in the first hour.

We were using two heavy halibut rods and had one out on each side of the boat. We had just elected to drop the baits close to the bottom, and put the rods in the rod holders to give us a break from constantly holding the rod

and jigging. Suddenly, the front rod right behind Lance was hit with a solid bite. “Fish on Lance — Grab the rod,” I shouted. Lance had just set the hook and said it felt like a heavy fish.

Without warning, I almost instantly heard a loud crack on the back rod right beside me. I turned quickly, just in time to see my rod and reel leaving the boat as the apparent bite was so hard it had snapped the rod right out of the hold-

er and tilted it downwards. In an effort to save the tackle , I dipped my arm into the water and took a wild swipe at the rod, narrowly missing it, as it plunged to the ocean bottom.

Lance looked at me and said, “Don’t know what might have hit that

bait but whatever it was it had to be huge — but let’s not cry over spilled milk. Take this rod and reel this one in.”

I was still in a state of shock from losing some very expensive tackle but I complied and was soon battling another fish. Several times the reels drag screamed out line, and as every fisherman knows that’s music to the ears because it’s very likely of the large variety. The standoff continued for several minutes but I was gradually making progress and I knew I was winning and tiring this fish out. As the minutes ticked by it became basically a dead weight with not much fight left in it. As is so often the case, though, the really big fish do a

final run for freedom once they spot the boat so I was careful. Slowly but surely I continued reeling with the rod tip up and I allowed no slack in the line. Then we finally saw it! It was over five feet long! Both our jaws dropped in amazement! BUT it was NOT a fish, it was none other than the rod and reel I had lost 15 minutes earlier, and I had it hooked on the line just below the rod tip. Both fish had somehow gotten off, and even though we had drifted at least one to two kms across the open ocean I had managed to somehow snag the line in the process and get all my tackle back. Both of the rod’s baits were stripped clean. Lance ‘high fived’ me and chuckled,“You got your over, today F.J.” Just another day on the magic waters of Haida Gwaii.

F.J. Hurtak is the author of the books ‘Elk Hunting in the Kootenays’, and ‘Hunting the Antlered Big Game of the Kootenays’, and is also a very avid fisherman.

B.C.’s drug overdose death toll climbs to 488 Jeff Nagel Black Press

The drug overdose crisis has claimed 488 lives in B.C. in the first eight months of the year up until the end of August, according to new statistics released by the B.C. Coroners Service.

The number of deaths from opioid overdoses was down slightly from 55 in July to 49 in August, and is well off the peak of 81 in January.

Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe noted for the first time this year, the deaths in August were down from the same month in 2015.

“Without the work that has been done to increase the availability of this antidote to opioid overdoses, I fear we would have seen many more deaths,” Lapointe said. “But no one should ever assume that the presence of naloxone at a scene will automatically mean a good outcome.”

The Fraser Health region accounted for 172 illicit drug overdose deaths from January through August, or 35 per cent of the provincial total.

There were 113 drug deaths in Vancouver Coastal, 93 on Vancouver Island, 80 in the Interior and 30 in the Northern health region.

The largest numbers of deaths by city have been in Vancouver (96 so far in 2016), Surrey (62), Victoria (39), Kelowna (27), Abbotsford and Kamloops (at 23 each), Maple Ridge and Nanaimo (20 each), and Langley (19).

The 488 deaths in total in B.C. so far is up 62 per cent from the same period of 2015.

Vancouver The biggest increase in the rate of deaths occurred on Vancouver Island, where there was a 135 per cent increase. Vancouver Island also had the highest rate of deaths as a proportion of the population – 18.1 deaths per 100,000 people so far this year.

The powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl was detected in more than 60 per cent of deaths this year, twice the rate of 2015.

There have been an average of 37 fentanyl-linked overdose deaths per month this year.

The most common drug overdose combination has been cocaine mixed with fentanyl, officials said.

A multi-prong response strategy has been underway since the province declared a public health emergency in April and created a dedicated task force in July.

In the latest move, the health ministry approved a request to deregulate and unschedule naloxone, allowing the life-saving overdose treatment to be sold at more locations.

Work continues to try to block fentanyl production and distribution, increase harm-reduction options and increase the number of addiction recovery beds.

More than 2,100 no-charge take-home naloxone kits have been used to reverse overdoses out of more than 13,700 distributed.

Posters and now videos are being released to make recreational drug users more aware of the risks they face.

A new video features Leslie McBain, founder of the support group Moms Stop the Harm, who lost her son Jordan to an overdose.

“It can happen to anyone’s child,” McBain said.

“Education and awareness are at present the best tools we have for reducing drug harms including death.”

Vancouver Coastal Health is applying to Health Canada to add more safe consumption sites in the region.

Health officials in B.C. have complained the federal process for approving new harm reduction sites has been too onerous and slow since new legislation restricting them was passed by the former Conservative government in 2015.

COMICS Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your efforts need to be directed toward your personal and/or domestic life. Your ability to develop a clear interaction could be confused by the moment and by what is coming down the pike.

A partner might make an unusually caring gesture. Tonight: Head down the right path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be open to having a conversation with a partner, but you’ll need to honor your differences instead of arguing about them. The two of you clearly come from different points of view. Touch base with a friend and brainstorm together. Tonight: You do not need to go far.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you have been. Self-discipline and spending might be conflicting words to you at the present moment. What is happening could force you to take more control of your budget and financial life. Tonight: Do not fight the inevitable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have a smile that draws people toward you. Today you exhibit the best of your sign. A discussion with someone who tends to be rigid will allow him or her to open up to a new way of thinking. Do not push so hard to make an impression. Tonight: Be spontaneous!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Honor a need to be less available. Examine what is happening between you and a loved one. You might be best off staying out of the social whirl of the moment. A family member could make a gesture that makes you comfortable.

Tonight: Invite loved ones over to join you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to news that could have an effect on your plans. You have a way with a child or loved one that encourages him or her to evolve to a new level. You’ll express a great deal of encouragement, and this person is likely to respond in kind. Tonight: Where your friends are.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Don’t push too hard to get

someone else to respond. Your ability to make this person feel good will be dependent on his or her mood. Understand that others need to feel good about themselves without your help.

Indulge yourself a little more.

Tonight: Paint the town red.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take an overview of what is happening with a loved one.

Be willing to break a pattern and head in a new direction.

Your ability to touch someone you care about on a deep level is likely to emerge. Indulgence seems natural to you. Tonight: Meet friends at an offbeat spot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One-on-one relating becomes more important than you originally had thought. You are able to get to the bottom of a problem that has caused some distance between you and a friend.

Still, you might choose not to reveal your vulnerable feelings.

Tonight: Make it a cozy night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to a partner or a group of friends. Your caring might be more important to an emotional loved one than you realize. Zero

in on your priorities. Make time for this person later in the day.

A meeting also might need to be scheduled. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be concerned about a project and can’t seem to pull yourself away. You might have triggered a lot of strong feelings, not only around you but also within yourself. Take time to think through your decisions.

A cohort could be instrumental in the process. Tonight: Out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You refuse to be reined in. You’ll want to enjoy yourself with several close friends. Take care of what you must, and handle certain key responsibilities. Make it OK to take off for part of the day. You likely will need some downtime. Tonight: Be a little naughty and nice!

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

secret facebook account Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for over 20 years. We’ve had our share of highs and lows during our time together. However, recently I discovered some things that are really bothering me.

My husband always said he didn’t “do the whole Facebook thing.” I discovered he’s been lying about not having a Facebook account when I was trying to set one up for him so he could use it to receive some promotional offers. I then discovered that he was searching for old girlfriends, singles sites, pornography and other women on Facebook for two years behind my back.

Some of the women my husband was looking up on Facebook were our daughter’s age or even a couple of years younger. We live in a small town, and some of these women work where he gets his hair cut, where we bank or at other places where we do business. He visited several of the women’s Facebook pages multiple times. This is all very disturbing to me. When I try to discuss this with him, he gets extremely defensive and becomes angry with me. I am hurt and don’t believe that what he is doing is right. Please help. -- Feeling Very Broken Dear Broken: The only one who should feel broken is your husband. Honesty is the cornerstone of a healthy marriage.

Though it’s definitely questionable that he’s been browsing (very) young women’s Facebook pages, there could at least plausibly be innocent explanations for that. The alarm bells sounded for me when you mentioned that he has been on singles sites. This could indicate offline, real-life infidelity.

Talk to him about going to marriage counseling. If he refuses, then consider separation or divorce. It’s better to live alone than with a louse.

Dear Annie: My wife’s nephew and his wife, “Susie,” moved from Oregon to Pennsylvania last year for him to go to graduate school.

Recently, there was a collectors show that I was going to about two hours from where they now live. I suggested to my wife that if she wanted to visit them, I could drop her off at their condo Thursday afternoon and then go to the show. I returned Sunday morning for us to leave for home on Monday.

When we got back to their condo, I noticed Susie standing in the kitchen eating something from a bowl. She then went into the living room to continue eating. My wife has a restricted diet, and as she was getting out her lunch fixings, she asked her nephew whether there was some bread to make a sandwich. After some digging, “Bob” did find a couple of pieces in the freezer. I found the dynamics a bit peculiar but thought, “No big deal.”

Then, after we got back home, my wife told me about Bob and Susie’s breaking out the chocolate ice cream after I had gone to bed Sunday night. (Ice cream is not part of my wife’s restricted diet, and they knew it from the previous day.) I feel that their handling of food and meals was clueless, if not outright rude. I have no desire for a return visit because of that. When I mentioned a future trip by their town next summer, my wife said she wants to include a return visit. I have no desire to subject myself to a repeat episode.

Help. -- Snubbed for Snacks Dear Snubbed: I’m a little confused here.

If it didn’t bother your wife, the one with the food restrictions, I’m not really sure why it bothered you. It’s her family and her diet restrictions, so I would let her take the lead as to whether or not to go back. Also, if she’s on a tightly restricted diet, it would be best to pack snacks and small meals of her own when traveling.

Celebrations

Celebrations

The family of Sherry Semenzin invites her friends to come join them for a celebration of her life on Saturday,

September 24, 2016 at 1:00 pm at the Kimberley Convention Center, 290 North Star Blvd., Kimberley, BC. All are welcome.

On September 3, 2016, Diane Lindstrom was accepted into the loving arms of her Saviour Jesus Christ after a lengthy illness that she managed with grace, always thankful for what she had. Her life was well lived as a beautiful Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Friend. We know she heard those words from the Lord that we all long to hear one day; “Well done my good and faithful servant”.

Diane’s loving spirit is survived by her husband of nearly 50 years, Rick Lindstrom, her son Richard, daughter-in-law Shelley, grandchildren Kim (Jonny), Brianne, (Brandon), and Greg, great-grand children, Teagan and Little Bean. Brother Clay (Margaret) Chernaske, sister Yvonne (Robert) Smith, as well as other family and many friends.

Diane was born November 27, 1947 in Fort Francis Ontario to Phillip and Diane Chernaske. She then lived a short time in Manitoba before moving to Dawson Creek. In 1966, Diane met Rick and they married after moving to Cranbrook where their son Richard was born. They then spent 29 years in Kimberly where they made many lifelong friends and came to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour in 1977. In 1995 they moved to Quesnel to be closer to Richard and his growing family.

Diane had various jobs over her lifetime but particularly enjoyed working with children. She ran her family daycares both in Kimberly and Quesnel.

Diane’s passion in life was to be Jesus to people and she used every opportunity to do so. She could be found driving kids to Sunday School or Good News Gang, bringing meals to those struggling or just to let them know she cared, calling friends and neighbours to make sure they were doing ok, praying for all needs great and small and making sure her family was secure in her love. Her greatest joy in recent months was spending time with her precious Teagan and looking forward to the arrival of her Little Bean (2nd great grandchild).

Diane enjoyed her many shopping trips with the motorhome and camping at Walmart. A great sense of humor was always ready when someone needed a laugh and a kind shoulder available if anyone needed a hug or an understanding ear. Her humble, gracious spirit blessed so many people in countless ways.

Andrew Isaac Boon 1952 – 2016

Andrew was called home to be with the Lord surrounded by the love of his family and friends on Sunday, September 18, 2016.

Andrew was born on February 28, 1952 in Den Hauge, Holland. He married the love of his life Dawn Tower on June 22, 1985. Andrew practiced social work for over 30 years and moved with his wife to the Kootenays in 1990. Andrew loved his wife and daughters beyond measure. He also loved animals and had a variety of pets over the years, Border Collies being his utmost favourite pet.

Andrew is survived by his 7 siblings Adriana (Dirk) Van Torgeren, Gina Blake, Peter (Tina) Boon, Jim (Barb) Boon, Martin (Bev) Boon, Helen Boon and Ken (Arlene) Boon; his wife Dawn; children Michelle (Billy) Adams, Nicole (Dale) Boon and 2 grandchildren Wyatt and Tristan Adams.

He was predeceased by his mother Helena in 2006 and his father Jacobus in March 2016.

A visitation for Andrew will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church in Cranbrook on Saturday, September 24, 2016 from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. His service will follow at 11:00 am with a reception to follow. Andrew will be interred in the Fort Steele Cemetery.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
