While nothing earth-shattering came out of UBCM conference for the Regional District of East Kootenay, board chair Rob Gay says all board directors valued the experience.

The annual conference of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities allows civic politicians to network with provincial cabinet ministers to lobby for funding and support.

One of the key announcements from Premier Christy Clark during her keynote address was the creation of a Clean Water and Wastewater Fund with $148 million in funding.

The funding formula was also changed, as all three levels of government — local, provincial and federal — pitch in 33 per cent, however, that formula is now 17 per cent for local government, 33 per cent for provincial, and 50 per cent for federal.

“In the past when we did water and sewer projects,” said Gay, “the

formula was usually one-third, one-third and one third with local government, the province and the feds.

“She’s [Christy Clark] has come out and said now that our share would be 17 [per cent] so that’s pretty significant when it comes to taxes and whatnot.”

Gay held meetings with Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett regarding the Elko Dam project which BC Hydro has currently put on hold. Other meetings included the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations on Fireworks, Land Tenure Applications and the Southern Rocky Mountain Management Plan.

Gay and RDEK board directors also met with the the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on some highway issues and with the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training on branding and marketing in the Columbia Valley.

Streamkeeper program launching in Kimberley Jim Duncan

Mainstreams is launching a Streamkeeper program in Kimberley which will focus on keeping riparian vegetation healthy in our watershed.

Riparian vegetation grows on the banks of creeks and is vital in pre-

venting erosion and in retaining water on the land. The riparian is also a good defense against extreme weather events such as prolonged rainstorms or days of rain on wet snow.

Thanks to funding from Columbia Basin Trust, our first Stream-

keeper program begins after Thanksgiving and will run three Saturdays in a row (for one-hour) beginning Saturday, Oct. 22 at Open Gate Garden on Rotary next to the pool at 10 a.m. The Trust has funded Mainstreams’ water education program for over ten years.

Mainstreams, based in Kimberley, has been teaching in schools and at community events in the Columbia Basin since 2003.

No question that young families are very busy. We decided to create a program for them to see what it would be like to have babies to grandparents show up and join in the fun. Because we want both dads and moms to

Man arrested on child porn possession charges RCMP

Cranbrook RCMP have a man in custody following a lengthy child pornography investigation.

Earlier this summer Cranbrook RCMP received information from BC ICE (Integrated Child Exploitation Unit) that they had intercepted two videos that they believed were child pornography. Through a Cyber Investigation, Cranbrook GIS was able to obtain information to search a Cranbrook residence and to seize computers from within.

A review of the footage on the computer revealed Child Pornography. A 42-year-old Cranbrook resident was arrested and remains in

custody at this time to be dealt with before the courts on charges of Possession of Child Pornography.

The Cranbrook RCMP would like the public to know that there is nothing in this investigation to indicate that any local children were involved.

“The Cranbrook RCMP works closely with other units such as BC ICE in order to keep children safe,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron of the Cranbrook We are satisfied that charges were laid in this instance but concerned that people are still exploiting children in this way.”

BPNS Charity Golf nets $15,225 for MRI Campaign SUBMIT TED

The fifth Annual Boston Pizza Northstar GM Charity Golf Tournament was held on August 19th. It was another amazing year for the Tournament, raising over $15,000 to support the MRI: An Image of Health campaign to bring a permanent MRI to the East Kootenay. Generous sponsors who supported each and every hole, a full field of golfers, generous auction donations and the dedicated volunteer hole spotters are what made the 18 par 3’s a rousing success yet again.

Trevor Gordon, Boston Pizza and Pat Spring, Northstar GM, both said, “We have had a great time over the past five years hosting this event. It is wonderful to see the impact our community can have when we come together for a day of golf for an amazing cause. We are thrilled to be able to

contribute to bring the much needed permanent MRI to our region.”

Over the past five years the BPNS Tournament has raised over $90,000 to improve healthcare in the East Kootenay. This amazing contribution to healthcare could not have been possible without the outstanding commitment and dedication of signature sponsors, Boston Pizza and North Star GM. “It is truly inspiring to see what the organizing committee for the BPNS Golf Tournament has been able to accomplish over the past five years,” said Cassandra Schwarz, EKFH Executive Director.

“Through their hard work to support health are we are almost at the point of offering truly regional healthcare in the East Kootenay and with this contribution.”

in the ALR is eligible for certain tax breaks.

“The legislation has changed now in the fact that everybody that’s been identified in Area B and Area C will get a letter and they’ll get the choice if they want to stay or go out,” Gay said.

“We had quite a heated debate out in Wasa about it.”

“In Meadowbrook, generally, the large pieces the ALC would like to see in, want out, and the smaller pieces, the people would like to stay in because they get the tax break and they’re probably doing a little

bit of hobby-farming, so there’s a bit of a push and pull there.”

Gay is hoping to have some delegates from the ALC come before an RDEK board meeting in November or December to add more clarity to the issue.

The electric highway and the challenge of using electric vehicles in rural areas was another topic that Gay personally got to address, as he led a meeting on the subject.

Last year, the event raised over $4,300 and organizers have a ton of games lined up and over $10,000 in prizes available through silent auction or door prizes.

Prizes will be doled out in a variety of ways.

Prizes will be available for winners of three different Super Smash Bros tournaments and a Super Mario 3 score attack.

Other video-gamethemed events will also give participants the chance to win some prizes.

Lockdown Cranbrook Escape Rooms will have a presence with two ‘escape pods’ and local video game developers — Flying Helmet Games —will be showing off Eon Altar Chapter 2.

For specific gaming action, there will be tons of options to choose from.

First, there will be almost every single gaming system imaginable, which will include the ever-popular Retro Alley — a wall dedicated to old-time gaming

systems such as the Atari and Original NES. A card table will be going all day with poker, black jack and go fish if the dealer feels like it.

Other card games include Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh that will be going on, in conjunction with board games, spread out over 20 tables.

Kids will also have a dedicated area complete with colouring books, puzzles, Netflix, and pinatas.

Raising money for the Alberta Children’s Hospital hits close to home for Miller, whose son, Alexander, received treatment for cardiomyopathy— where the heart grows to an abnormal size—at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.

Though Alexander received treatment in Edmonton, the funds raised from Extra Life Game Day will go to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, as local kids in the East Kootenay region will likely head there first for treatment.

Positive investment leads at UBCM: Pratt Trevor Crawley Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt came away encouraged for the future after attending an annual conference of municipal and provincial elected officials in Victoria this weekend.

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities’ annual convention includes mayors, councillors and provincial cabinet ministers, where civic politicians can network with each other and senior levels of government to tackle issues.

Pratt updated city council about UBCM meetings at a meeting on Monday night, noting that there was some positive talks with at least four companies and stakeholders, but didn’t delve into too much detail.

“I brought it up because you want to let people know that there’s things happening,” Pratt said, after the meeting. “…I can tell you this,

85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra... ...Are you?

the meetings that we had were very productive, very supportive.

They’re offering help with us with information and what we have to do to make it happen, so they’re becoming stakeholders and partners in it and giving us that guidance.”

Pratt attended the UBCM conference along with councillors Tom Shypitka, Ron Popoff, and Wes Graham. David Kim, Cranbrook’s Chief Administration Officer, also attended.

Networking with mayors, councillors and provincial cabinet ministers is helping draw in potential investment opportunities, said Pratt.

“International trade and major investment branch — these are people who come and maybe want to manufacture something in B.C., so they need 15 acres of land and $30 million they’re willing to invest and build a

plant or whatever,” Pratt said.

“We want them to know, talk to us, because land is not cheap in the Lower Mainland and that’s the big stumbling block right now.

So they need to know that we have the land, water, power, sewer, zoning — everything that those people need, we have.

“But they haven’t been told that, so now they’re working with us, we’re on the list and we’ve made a lot of progress.”

“We go with the approach that we want to be a partner with you and find the solution and work towards that,” Pratt said. “So they like that.”

Much of the time, mayors and councillors are meeting with provincial ministers with their hands out, but Pratt says that’s not always the case with Cranbrook.

The problem with referendums

P

resident Juan Manuel Santos was not obliged to hold a referendum to ratify the deal to end sixty years of war between the Colombian government and FARC (the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). It was held because both Santos and the FARC leaders thought a referendum victory would make it harder for any later government to break the deal — but they lost the referendum.

In Sunday’s referendum, slightly more than a third of qualified Colombian voters (37 percent) actually bothered to cast a ballot — and the ‘No’ side won by a sliver-thin majority of 50.2 percent. The ‘Yes’ side, however, got large majorities in the more rural parts of the country that had been devastated by the long war.

In the war zones, most people just wanted the killing to stop, but in the safer urban areas people had the luxury of wondering whether it was morally justifiable to grant an amnesty to rebels who had killed so many people. And as in most referendums, lots of people seized the chance to make a protest vote against the government in general. So the peace deal was lost.

There is no Plan B. “If the public says ‘No,’ the process stops and there will be no result,” chief government negotiator Humberto de la Calle told Colombia’s El Tiempo newspaper. “The consequence of ‘No’ winning is war,” said former President Cesar Gaviria, who led the campaign for the ‘Yes’ vote.

That may be too pessimistic, for FARC’s leaders really do want to end the war. “If ‘No’ wins, it wouldn’t mean that the process has to fall apart,” guerrilla negotiator Carlos Antonio Lozada said in late June.

“We aren’t required by law to decide to

continue such a painful war.”

But without the legal protection of the peace deal, many of FARC’s 5,000 fighters will be reluctant to lay down their weapons and come out of the jungle. Why did Santos take the risk of a referendum?

Neither the Colombian constitution nor any other country’s says that peace agreements ending civil wars must be ratified by a referendum.

(National constitutions do Gwynne not even consider the possibility of a civil war.) And Dyer when civil wars do end, most governments recognise that emotions are still too raw to put necessary concessions like an amnesty for all the combatants to a popular vote.

At the end of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, Nelson Mandela won the country’s first one-person-one-vote election, but he did not hold a referendum asking the voters to approve the agreement he had negotiated with the white minority regime. Instead he created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where those who had committed atrocities were asked to admit their crimes, but were not punished.

There was no referendum held to ratify the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 that effectively ended the 30-year civil war in Northern Ireland. Nobody asked the Lebanese people to approve the diplomatic Taif Agreement of 1989 that led to an end of the fifteen-year civil war there, and it was the Lebanese parliament, not a referendum, that passed the amnesty law.

A referendum is a very blunt instrument even when the question at issue is less tangled and emotional than a civil war. In the recent referendum on British membership in the European Union, for example, most of the 51.9 percent who voted to leave were really voting against

mass immigration (half of which does not come from the EU) and against the impact of globalisation on their living standards.

It’s also easy for a government to write a referendum question that gets the answer it wants. In the Hungarian referendum (also last Sunday) on whether or not to accept some of the refugees who arrive in the European Union, for example, the question was: “Do you want the European Union to be able to mandate the obligatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary even without the approval of the National Assembly?”

It might as well have read: “Do you want to abandon Hungarian sovereignty and let the EU resettle terrorists here?”

Ultra-nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban wanted a ‘No’, and he got it: 98 percent of those who voted said ‘No’. (But more than half of the electorate didn’t vote at all, possibly out of contempt for Orban’s blatant attempt to manipulate public opinion.)

Then there was the Greek referendum of July last year, when Prime Minister Tsipras asked the public if it accepted the tough conditions of an EU offer to bail Greece out of a debt crisis once more. He wanted a ‘No’ and he got it (61 percent ‘No’, 39 percent ‘Yes) — but ten days later he ignored the result and agreed to an even harsher offer from the EU. And got away with it.

Referendums are usually “advisory” and do not have the force of law. They rarely have an outcome that could not be achieved by a simple vote in an elected parliament at a hundredth of the cost. And a democratically elected parliament does a much better job of asking and answering the right question.

What’s Up?

LETTERS to the EDITOR

Fast action

I witnessed an accident at the driveway to the Safeway Gas Bar on July 28. A man in a motorized wheelchair had approached from the direction of Baker Street and 12th Avenue and mistakenly thought there was a ramp leading straight off the sidewalk to the other side of the driveway. The front wheels of the chair dropped down, he was thrown from his chair to the pavement and pavement and appeared to be unconscious.

Four men and I came to his aid. The man regained consciousness and was able to sit up. He was bleeding profusely from a head wound. Medics quickly arrived, and the man was able to get back into his chair unaided.

I wrote to the CEO of Safeway/Sobeys expressing my concern for the safety of this site. A few days later, Mr. Dave Rodych phoned to say he had reviewed the security tapes and interviewed employees. He thanked me for identifying a problem that the company did not know existed. Mr. Rodych promised to fix the sidewalk immediately. He also ordered an engineering review of the safety of all Safeway/Sobeys properties and instituted employee perimeter walks.

New sidewalk ramps have already been installed. On behalf of the citizens and customers who use that sidewalk I’d like to publicly thank Mr. Rodych and Safeway/Sobeys for acting so promptly and for being such good corporate citizens.

Fire Prevention Week

With Fire Prevention Week approaching, Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services would like to remind residents that fire safety should be considered and practiced every day. Three common prevention tips associated with fire safety are to ensure smoke alarms are installed inside and outside of bedrooms, develop and practice an exit plan and close bedroom doors when sleeping.

You may want to consider installing self-closing hinges on bedroom doors to ensure a level of protection from heat, fire and smoke. All three of these tips are practices that can save your life should a fire occur.

New Underwriter Laboratories research shows that sleeping with doors closed can keep smoke out of a room longer, as well as change the flow of heat and toxic gases, acting as a shield for someone trapped and unable to get out of a fire.

What a lot of people do not realize is that the dynamics of structure fires have changed significantly in past decades. Today’s homes are built with lighter construction materials, have more open floor areas and an increase use and quantity of more flammable synthetic materials. Consider the fact that new research has shown that heat release rates of some common furnishings are over five times; that today’s fires produce 200 times as much smoke; and that homes burn eight times faster than in past decades.

Recent building codes have acknowledged this change by requiring smoke alarms in all bedrooms and hallways outside bedrooms, to expedite early warning to occupants. To-date, they have not dealt with isolating the smoke, fire and heat from a sleeping room. It makes sense that the next step for the life safety of occupants who are sleeping, is to require closures on bedroom doors.

In response, the fire service has modified training standards, response procedures and strategies and tactics to adapt to the new realities of firefighting risks and challenges. Recognizing the fire service’s need to adapt to modern fire behaviour, I believe it’s only logical for the homeowner and occupants to practice a higher level of prevention than in the past. It’s an old message, but more important now than ever, close your bedroom door.

Reform

This issue is really important! Under our current “First Past The Post” electoral system and in a four-party race, it is possible for one party with less than 30 per cent of the national vote to occupy 100 per cent of the seats in Parliament.

Obviously a situation that cries out for correction.

Site C, our latest global villain

W

e’ve just had the latest round of international “news” about British Columbia as a global environmental outlaw.

On top of our oil tankers (almost all from Alaska), our “fracking” (conducted without significant incident for 50 years), and our reckless abandonment of “climate leadership” in lawless, planet-roasting Canada, B.C. has been summoned to the great green prisoner’s dock for the heinous offence of constructing a third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River.

This time the international protest network has called for a United Nations investigation of the Site C dam, claiming it will cause irreparable harm to the Athabasca River basin and Wood Buffalo National Park.

Things are so bad from the first two dams on the Peace that a third one might cause Wood Buffalo to be struck from UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites! That’s like 50 UN “fossil awards” and a Neil Young concert all at once!

There’s just one problem. It’s bunk.

These things follow a formula. Press conference in Ottawa as UN delegation tours, looking for things to protest in safe countries – check. Emotional aboriginal leader with unsupported allegations of environmental ruin – check.

Campaign orchestrated by U.S. enviros, in this case the “Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative” – check. Story

Friday, October 7, 2016 Page 7

timed for that hard-to-fill Monday news hole, delivered to every radio and TV station by the copy-hungry Canadian Press wire service and hyped by a veteran protester-reporter at The Globe and Mail?

Check.

Now it’s quite true that the three-year federal assessment of the Site C project pointed to significant impacts, such as the loss of farmland and hunting and trapping areas in the Peace River valley in northeastern B.C. But after an exhaustive examination of the hydraulic effects of Site C, it was determined there would be no measurable impact on the Peace-Athabasca BC VIEWS Delta, more than 1,000 km away in northern Alberta and Tom the Northwest Territories.

Fletcher Of course all Canadian environmental reviews are skewed and flawed in some unspecified way, according to the professional environmentalists who stack hearings until they have to be constrained from doing so.

I’ve covered our Left Coast environment movement for decades, starting out as a long-haired Suzuki-worshipping reporter and slowly coming to appreciate what a cynical industry it has become. But I’ve never seen anything quite like the anti-Site C campaign.

It’s bad enough watching NDP leader John Horgan and Green Party leader Andrew Weaver twist themselves into knots to maintain opposition to a renewable energy

project. Their core urban supporters are hard-wired to oppose any industrial development, and today’s instant information culture manufactures ‘facts’ to fit the current narrative.

It takes real political flexibility to tout adoption of electric cars, then try to block the only option other than nuclear reactors that would support the expansion.

Wading through my daily shipment of shocked and appalled environmental-group press releases, I almost slipped off my chair when Amnesty International started sending out anti-Site C diatribes.

Good to know the plight of political prisoners from Cuba to Iran has been relieved to the point where Amnesty is able to stand with the dozens of other donation-seeking organizations against this dam.

The environmental case for Site C is related to the economic case. It will generate more power with a smaller reservoir than any other dam in Canada, being the third stop for the vast quantity of water stored in Williston Lake.

Do you want to know the real reason why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government issued permits for Site C? They did it because it makes sense.

SPORTS Ice take three goalie act on the road

Kootenay to wait until after road trip to decide on season’s goaltending duo BRAD MCLEOD

In the opening weeks of the season, the Kootenay Ice were forced to make several difficult roster decisions. Heading into Thanksgiving weekend their lineup is almost set, but they still have one more big cut to make — they need to get rid of a goalie.

Unlike most of their WHL competition, the Ice are still holding three goaltenders. So far this season, Payton Lee, Declan Hobbs, and rookie Jakob Walter have all traded off spending time in net, on the bench, and in the press box.

After Walter’s admirable debut performance against Moose Jaw on Tuesday, in which he made 32 saves on 35 shots and was named the game’s third star, management’s decision has been made even harder.

“It’s [going to be] really tough [but] it’s a good problem to have,”

coach Luke Pierce said on the crowded situation in net. “Depth in that position is extremely important and we feel confident in all three guys and I don’t know that we’re in a huge rush to make that [decision].

“I think we’ll talk a little more this week and we’ll take all three guys on the trip with us and then see from there.”

For their part, the goaltending trio doesn’t seem too concerned.

“It’s [been] fun, we all get along,” Walter said following Tuesday’s game. “We all know we’re fighting for a spot here so we just keep playing hard and [wait to] see what happens.”

Walter also said that despite the competition, he’s taken advantage of the opportunity to learn from his colleagues. “[Lee] is a good mentor, he tells me to keep going and just keep working hard, doing what you’re doing and

Payton Lee (left) and Declan Hobbs (right) share a net in practice. [success] will come.”

As one of the Ice’s three designated 20-year-old players who was brought in during the off-season to give the Ice stability, Lee is unlikely to be going anywhere.

Hobbs also has an assumed advantage over Walter, due to having played for the Ice in 24 games last season and being a year older.

The fact that Walter has stuck around as

long as he has, however, gives cause to believe that he could overtake Hobbs, if one of them either falters or exceeds expectations.

So far this season Lee has gotten three starts and has a team-best 0.920 save percentage, while Hobbs and Walter both have one start apiece and have 0.914 and 0.870 save percentages, respectively.

General manager Jeff Chynoweth previously told the Townsman that the team’s goal was to get to two goalies by around Thanksgiving.

Although choosing their two goaltenders is important, the team is also in desperate need of their first win. Lee would be the safest bet on putting up a ‘W’ but with the real battle for a

roster spot looking to be between Hobbs and Walter, Kootenay might also look to ensure that they both get action in Saskatchewan.

But will the team opt to go with three different starters during a very challenging weekend, on the road, against extremely talented competition? And if not, how will they ensure they’ve made an informed choice?

These questions will certainly be answered over the next few days.

The Ice are in Regina on Friday to take on the Pats, they then head to Moose Jaw for a Saturday night game against the Warriors, and finally close out the trip in Swift Current where they play the Broncos on Monday afternoon.

The Kimberley Dynamiters start off their 4-game road trip with two games this weekend. First, the Nitros head over the Kootenay Pass to Castlegar, to play the Rebels (34-0-0) on Friday. Then on Saturday, they return to the East Kootenays and play the Columbia Valley Rockies (1-5-0-1) in Invermere.

“Road trips are always fun — you get to bond with the guys,” said Dynamiters Captain Ryan Hozjan. “I think [that] this road trip is a good chance for us to prove that we are a good road team, having only played one game on the road so far.”

The Dynamiters only road game so far this season was in Golden, and they won that match.

The Rebels currently sit fourth in their division and are 1-1 at home. They have four players — Logan Styler, John Moeller, Ed Lindsey & Andrew Petten — averaging at least one point a game.

“Castlegar played us tough when they came here a few weeks back,” said Kimberley general manager and head coach Derek Stuart. “They have improved their team since then [and] are right in the mix of things in their division.

“It will definitely be a hard game for our players [and] a good test for us.”

The Rockies, however, are heading in a different direction in the standings. They are in last place in their division, currently on a five game losing streak, and are 1-3 at home.

But Stuart doesn’t want to focus on the standings.

“You’re never as good as your record says and you’re never as bad as your record says.

“We are the defending Kootenay Confer-

ence champions,” he said. “We have a target on our back [and] now [that we are] 6-1, I’m sure that target is a little bigger ... we are most likely going to see other teams’ best games, and we need to be prepared to play our best.”

“I think [that] this road trip is a good chance for us to prove that we are a good road team, having only played one game on the road so far.”

Ryan Hozjan The Dynamiters want to keep the winning streak going, but don’t want to focus on it.

“It’s something we need to keep out of our minds,” Hozjan said.

“Having a win streak is nice, but it’s definitely not going to be our focus this weekend.”

“Hopefully we are not thinking too much about what we have done,” Stuart agreed. “[We need to] focus more on what we have learned and on what we are going to do.

“We have a lot of confidence in our group [and] the players have a lot of confidence in themselves … if we play our game the result should take care of itself.”

Puck drop for the Castlegar game is 8 p.m, and then 7:30 p.m. in Invermere.

WE ARE READY TO

Tension builds in a fraught mother-daughter relationship in “Lucy.”

Barry Coulter photo

Daughter from the Future

In CCT’s ‘Lucy,’ an autistic girl takes us on a dark journey to the interior Barry Coulter

T

he knife-edge life of an autistic 13-year-old girl is especially sharp when her parents are estranged.

Lucy, the girl in the play of the same name, takes us on an eerie journey to the interior of two minds, both of them seeking silence.

“Lucy” is launching Cranbrook Community Theatre’s 2016-2017 season, and it opens tonight, Friday, Oct. 7, at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook. Canadian playwright Damien Atkins’s piece revolves around an autistic girl going through tumultuous change, but it is a story about a mother-daughter relationship, fraught with tension, in which the two begin to see themselves in each other.

Director Trevor Lundy has created a visual hallucination of a set, in which real life walls melt away to reveal Lucy’s dreaming mind.

At the play’s outset, Lucy has reached the volatile edge of adolescence, and her father Gavin, going through changes in his own life, is for the first time giving his daughter into the custody of her mother Vivian, a renowned and brilliant paleoanthropologist, so that Lucy can have access to schools, therapy, counselling, and a female mentor.

Lucy has been allowed to withdraw into her disability, and the effort should now be to draw her back out into the real world.

But Vivian is spectacularly unsuited to moth-

erhood. She’s not even particularly suited to friendship. Million-yearold hominids, walls of caves painted eons ago, fossilized bones, and what all these represent — that is Vivian’s spiritual home, her own inner world.

The silent but volatile, spinning world of Lucy, her blood, excrement, and sensory integration dysfunction, bring the fastidious Vivian to the point of breaking.

But at one point, Lucy and Vivian meet in an hallucination, sharing the same nightmare, and the bond begins to develop. Like daughter, like mother.

Vivian is using her brilliance to prove that civilization is a mistake, and suddenly Lucy seems proof of that. To Vivian, Lucy’s autism is a rejection of the world, and a sign of a more evolved state. This validates Vivian’s view, and justifies her own retreat into her own interior world, of vanished fossil people and empty Ethio-

Grand Slam of Curling November 8th-13th Black Press will be publishing a special edition on November 3rd, welcoming all teams to Cranbrook.

Kelsey Thompson as Lucy pian plains.

Vivian’s brilliance, and the desire to retreat into her own inner silence, is heading towards a crash confrontation with the power of the world of normalcy.

Along the way, there is a poetic definition of autism, a crash course in evolutionary science, and yes, the mercury thing comes up too.

Michael Prestwich plays Gavin, Lucy’s father. He is well-meaning and gentle, but Lucy is growing beyond him.

Dean Nicholson is Morris, Lucy’s therapist, who helps interpret Lucy’s world for us.

Ashlée Perreault is Julia, Vivian’s colleague, assistant and admirer, who has an instinctive

deft touch with Lucy and who observes with alarm the changes Vivian is going through.

The play is driven by powerful performances

by Kelsey Thompson as Lucy and Tracy McGuire as Vivian. We actually see and hear the play from the viewpoint of Lucy, who narrates to us in her own proto-language, and from this colourful and alien perspective leads us into Vivian’s troubled heart — and genetic code.

CCT’s production of “Lucy,” written by Damien Atkins and directed by Trevor Lundy, opens Friday, Oct. 7, at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook, and runs October 8, the Oct. 12-15 and Oct. 19-22.

Relic & Reliquary: a unique exhibition at Centre 64 Mike Redfern

Unique, intriguing, spiritual; just some of the adjectives that can be applied to the exhibition, Relics & Reliquaries, currently on display in the Gallery at Centre 64.

Kimberley sculptor Rob Toller and Nelson painter Michael Graham have combined forces to create an installation in the gallery that turns the space into something distinctly other-worldly.

Toller’s metal and mixed media sculptures, in the past almost entirely abstract, occasionally suggesting but never literally depicting

natural or figurative forms, have taken a new departure for this exhibition.

From exploring wood, metal, stone and other materials to see what they can do, how they can combine to create interesting and dynamic shapes, Toller has used these raw materials to create religiously and culturally symbolic sculptures, from shrines and monuments to guardians of the underworld and bells that reverberate a somber toll throughout the gallery.

Some rise upwards from the floor, others hang down from above.

Some are small and intimate, others are large and bold. Relics of the past - rusty machinery, the bark of fallen trees, stones worn smooth by ancient seas — these cast-off materials take on new life in Toller’s intriguing sculptures.

Around the free-standing sculptural forms spread Graham’s painted panels. Created of layers of images, some painted, some collaged, some photographic, they, too, draw upon relics left behind, layers of history, repainted and re-presented.

Graham‘s hand is seen, too, in some of the

Courtesy Mike Redfern

Collaborating artists Rob Toller (left) and Michael Graham enjoy a humourous moment at the reception for their Relic & Reliquary exhibition at Centre 64 sculptural pieces where he and Toller collaborated in creating the

final design.

The gallery walls almost vibrate with the

patterns and colours of these large abstract designs. The viewer can

read into them all sorts of possible shapes and forms. Some seem almost three dimensional.

And by some strange alchemy, known only to these two artistic wizards, the paintings and sculptures complement each other in creating a setting that makes the most of the gallery’s own striking architecture, a setting that feels almost medieval despite its contemporariness.

Relics & Reliquaries continues in the Gallery at Centre 64 until Saturday, October 22. It can be viewed between 1 and 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, and admission is free.

“The Magic of Autumn”

Door Prizes!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel pressured by a person who you feels assumes too much. You can’t sit on your distain any more than the other party can sit on his or hers. If there is a run-in, it could be bad.

Try to be more open-minded.

Only then will options appear.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use your ability to empathize and understand how others feel. You might be at the point of frustration that could cause you to lose your temper. Try to be more distant. Remember, what works for one person might not work for another. Tonight: Rethink plans if need be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating could be more volatile than you had anticipated. In fact, a fight could ensue, and you could be shocked by what you hear. Give up being as fussy and touchy as you have been. Your ingenuity works its way through any problem. Tonight: Forget problems.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others play a more dominant role than in the recent past.

You could be surprised by what comes up for you. Allow your sense of humor to define a difficult situation. Recognize that an associate is changing in front of your eyes. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Focus on your work and what is needed to complete a certain project. Try to be present in a discussion, even though your thoughts are elsewhere. A situation might be transforming right in front of you. Conversations could add to the present confusion. Tonight: Do only what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to keep things light and humorous, but many people won’t share that same mood. Accept this fact rather than annoy others by trying to make them smile and laugh.

Your emotional nature will benefit from a sudden change of plans. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You naturally feel tense, no matter what is happening around you. Some unexpected actions might hold a surprise or two for you. You have changed your perspective about a personal matter, which is affecting how you feel. Tonight: Don’t let a difficult situation color your night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will want to express your feelings in a new way. The problem could be that you aren’t getting confirmation that others are really hearing your message.

Confusion seems to surround you. Try to sort out the different messages. Tonight: Meet up with a pal and/or a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of the limits that you have imposed upon yourself. A child or loved one might react in a surprising way, which is likely to set you back. Use caution with all financial matters at this point. You could run into a problem without even realizing it.

Tonight: Make it your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You feel more energetic and upbeat than you have in a considerable amount of time. Take

your time accepting a new responsibility. You might be carrying too much on your shoulders.

Ask yourself what you really need to do here. Tonight: Out on the town.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could feel out of sorts and might not know why. On a subconscious level, you are processing a change that is affecting your life in various ways. A discussion with a partner might only aggravate you more. Tonight: Make sure you have time to relax. Schedule a massage.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take the opportunity to stand up for what you want. This type of experience could occur at home and/or at work. Maintain a sense of humor, and you will bypass a problem. A partner or loved one comes through for you in a big way. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

take, take, take Dear Annie: I hope you can help with a problem that really has gotten out of hand in my family. I married into a large family over 30 years ago. I love them all like my own.

The problem is that anytime there is a family gathering -- be it a birthday party, a cookout or just watching a ballgame -- several members of the family consistently insist on doing one or all of the following: --Bringing their uninvited guests to someone else’s home. Sometimes their guests show up before them. (“Who are you?” “Oh, your cousin invited me.”)

--Eating as if they were starving. I mean going into the kitchen and helping themselves to food in the refrigerator.

--My personal favorite: fixing “to-go plates” right away, without regard to how many guests haven’t eaten and certainly without asking. Would you believe that? Fixing a plate “to go” before you’ve even eaten!

I have told the guilty relatives how I feel about this, and it has fallen on deaf ears for years. I was taught that you always bring a contribution to a gathering unless the host lets you know that it isn’t necessary. My personal policy has been to bring a dish large enough to feed the people who come with me. It exasperates me to no end when someone shows up at my house with four children and an additional guest -- who herself brings two kids -- and all they bring among the eight of them is one package of hot dogs.

They all stuff themselves and leave with a plate for everyone.

Mind you, I don’t leave containers out for the taking. The people to whom I am referring just make themselves at home and assume it’s OK. I have decided to go to the movies the next holiday and wait for an answer from you, as I am about to lose my temper with these folks. I have a nice home and plenty of space to entertain, and I love to have folks over, but this is out of hand.

Help me, please. Other family members feel the same as I do and don’t know how to deal with it, either. -- Fed Up Dear Fed: It would be bad enough if children were behaving this way; that these are full-grown adults is flat-out ridiculous.

It’s time for an intervention. Tap the support of the family members who feel the same way you do. Tell these rude relatives they can start behaving like civilized adults or they can stop coming to your house.

When you married your husband, you signed up for being part of his large family -but you didn’t sign up for the role of a head chef at a pro bono buffet restaurant.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, friends of ours helped us secure a rental place in the same community where they winter. We have invited other friends to stay for short periods of time with us. The woman in the couple who helped us bawled me out recently for not including them in every activity with our visiting friends. She says I am insensitive.

Should we find another place? Now we feel as if she will be stalking our every move.

Also, she does not like some of these activities. So are we not supposed to do these at all? -- Snowbirds Dear Snowbirds: Is she your friend or your limb? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do things on your own with guests.

He also enjoyed playing the trombone with several local bands.

Kenneth Pocha “Ken” 1943 – 2016

1943 was the year that the world was graced with a wonderful man named Kenneth Pocha.

He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan into a family of 16.

In his younger years he enjoyed being at home working on the family farm.

He moved to BC in the 50’s and pursued a career in the logging industry until a heart attack left him to follow his true passion, working on vehicles. This is the Ken Pocha everyone grew to know and love. Everyone knew, if you broke down, or needed a place to fix a vehicle Ken was there to help you. Ken’s biggest joy was children, and many of the neighbourhood kids called him “Uncle Ken. He never had children of his own but he raised a family full of children whom he took under his wing and his guidance and he loved them as his own.

Ken was the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back or a shoulder to cry on. He was always ready with a joke, (as dirty as they were), to tease the hell out of you, or to sit and have a coffee where he would share his knowledge of cars and the value of family. He was a loving brother, uncle, father and grandfather.

Ken is survived by his best friend Ada Sands, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Alfred Willard and Wilno Catherine, his sister Kay, brother Archie, brother Joe, sister Dolly, brother Alfred, brother Lionel, sister Dorthy and nephew Joe. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

HARTLEY LORAAS

Sympathy & Understanding

1942 – 2016

We sadly share our mourning of the loss of Hartley Loraas who left us on July 8, 2016 in Trail B.C. Hartley will lovingly be remembered by his sister Rona Loraas in Vernon, his niece Kristy Jackson in Trail, his nephew Colin Jackson in Clearwater, his nephew Kary Loraas in Kimberley, and numerous relatives.

He was predeceased by his brother Rod Loraas, and his parents Chris and Roy Loraas.

Hartley enrolled in a Business program at SAIT after graduation, but returned to Kimberley after his first yearto partner with his Dad in the family business Rocky Mountain Sports Ltd. He decided to sell his interest in the business, and spent over three years travelling and working in Europe.

When he returned, he attended Simon Fraser University to obtain his teaching degree, and there found his true life calling.

Hartley joined the Business Education staff of Templeton Secondary High school in Vancouver in 1977 and was beloved by his students and admired by his friends and colleagues. He was a member (usually the chair person) of almost every school committee (including King of Year End car rally), was promoted to Business Dept.

Head, elected President of the BC Business Education, and served on the Curriculum Implementation team delivering workshops to teachers around the province.

He was rewarded for his contributions by receiving the BCBEA Regional Award in recognition of his outstanding teaching and dedicated service to the business education community.

Despite all the above Professional accolades, he was most proud of the school store he implemented at Templeton School, selling school rings, clothing, snacks, etc., where students could actually experience what he was teaching, (stocking shelves, pricing, reordering, profit margins, financial statements etc.) When he retired from Templeton in 1999 to move to Clearwater, his dedication to teaching continued, - he taught business computer courses for the TRU at the local community skills centre, and helped instruct high school curling classes.

Hartley was a loving and giving man, with a great sense of humor, and an enormous heart for others, but he was also a very principled person who would not tolerate racial discrimination, foul language, and much to his niece and nephews chagrin, tattoos. One condolence message we received compared his mannerisms to Carey Grant – a class act – a true gentleman.

Hartley also loved fishing, and even though his categorized tackle boxes were annoying, he consistently won any “first, biggest, most� family competitions – maybe there was some merit to his philosophy “If you want big fish, use big lures�.

He enjoyed all sports – mostly curling, and his mastery of a PVR and scheduled viewing was something to be commended – it allowed him to capture every sport event, wherever, at any time, from the comfort of his armchair.

We have many cherished memories of Hartley as he left such an impression on our lives, and so many others.

You will be forever and so ‌ sadly missed.

At Hartley’s request there will be no funeral or memorial service.

He enjoyed cooking, sharing, and consuming good food, wine, cheesecake, and after dinner Spanish coffees, second only to his love for Andrew Lloyd Webber operas.

He thought nothing of travelling to several different cities to view the same production with a different cast.

Hartley was an avid reader with a particular interest in history, both family and World War 2 . He left us with exceptional family tree records, and a collection of 400 books on the history of World War 2.

Jiri “George�

Vaclav Horak 1929 – 2016

George passed away peacefully on October 3rd at the Joseph Creek Care Home.

He will be deeply missed by his brother Josef (Jane, sons George and John), sister Margaret (son George, daughter Jane and 8 grandchildren), brother Anthony (Mary, son John, daughters Mary, Anne and Margaret and 5 grandchildren), brother Peter (Mary, son Peter, daughters Mary and Ludmila and 11 grandchildren) and sister Anna (Emil, sons James and Paul).

He will also be missed by his many friends who sought his counsel and enjoyed his company.

He was predeceased by his father Josef, his mother Antonia, his brother-in-law John and his beloved wife Vera.

George was born in Brno, Moravia on April 24th, 1929. At the age of fourteen he completed grade eight and began an apprenticeship as a bookbinder. After World War II, he escaped from communist controlled Czechoslovakia to Venezuela. In Caracas he found work as a bookbinder and later established a laundry business. In 1953 he was accepted into the seminary in Rome where he completed five years of studies for ordination as a priest. He served as pastor in northern Italy for several years before deciding to join the Jesuit order. After further studies at the novitiate in Austria, he was assigned to the Jesuit Czech Mission House in Montreal in 1962. There he taught at Loyola High School and was a counsellor at St. Mary’s High School.

In 1968, George moved to Toronto where he was chaplain in a psychiatric hospital. While taking university classes toward a PhD in clinical psychology, he developed a relationship with Vera Moore, a social worker. After intense prayer and deliberation, he decided to leave the Jesuits and marry Vera. George was hired by the Ontario Parole and Probation Department. During his career, he served as a supervisor and staff training officer. George and Vera retired to Durham, Ontario where they lived for eleven years. For health reasons, George and Vera moved to Cranbrook, BC in 1994. They were married for 42 years until Vera’s death in 2012. In 2014 George wrote his memoir Witness: Voices and Choices which was published by St. Peter’s Press and Friesen Press.

George was a spiritual man who followed his beliefs with courage. He was generous and grateful, a seeker of knowledge and truth in religion, languages, prayer, meditation and yoga.

His funeral service will be held at Christ The Servant Catholic Church in Cranbrook on Tuesday, October 11th, 2016 at 10:00 am.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Ecology, climate change and the Christian Church Orthodox conference seeks to renew conversation on ‘healing earth’

B a r ry Co u lt e r

St. Aidan Orthodox Church in Cranbrook is hosting a unique conference next week, and looking to engage the whole community is a discussion on Christian perspectives on ecology, climate change and connection between culture and the environment.

“Healing Earth” — the name of the conference — runs October 13-15 at the Royal Alexandra Hall at the Cranbrook History Centre. A series of compelling guest speakers will hold forth on cultural connection spiritual ecology.

Father Andrew Applegate of St. Aidan says the ancient view that culture, spirituality and the environment has become “skewed” and politicized in modern times. It is a conversation that needs to be

resumed among all Christian churches.

“The fact that we as Christians need to be paying a lot more attention to what’s going on around us,” Father Applegate said of the impetus for hosting the conference. “The early Christian church, and through the centuries had a very close relationship with nature. Perhaps in modern times that perspective has become skewed. There’s the perspective that we as humans have dominion — but really we are caretakers.”

Applegate said the ancient church’s perspective that God is in everything, present in nature and in all cultures isn’t always heard today in the Christian Churchy.

“But I think with climate change, and with all that’s going on, all Christian church-

es are looking for that perspective. We’ve allowed this topic to become politicized — and it shouldn’t be that way.”

Speakers for the conference include: • Father Michael Oleksa from Alaska, an author, educator and polyglot, who will be discussing cross-cultural communication — his area of expertise.

• Kaleeg Hainsworth is an author, poet and backcountry educator, who will discussing climate change. He will be joined by Father Nilos Nellis, an Orthodox priest and “philosopher of the wilderness,” who lives off the grid near Kaslo.

• Mark Sandford is the spiritual director of Elijah House International, a multinational Counsellor training organization. He will be talking about

the Church’s place in nature.

• Jeremy and Sheree Eisenhauer are featured special guest musicians.

Healing Earth: Orthodox Christian Perspectives on Ecology and Climate Change Thursday, Oct. 13, features free public presentations and panel discussion at 6 p.m.with Q and A session to follow.

Friday, Oct. 14, and Saturday, Oct. 15 (8 am-5:30 pm), are the all-day conference sessions with the authors/presenters.

Breakfast coffee and treats and lunch from the HeidOut are provided.

For more information, including registion information, contact: Father Andrew Applegate at 250-420-1582 or Ellen Dearden at 250-4216013.

Woensdregt whole new way is that life is good. I’ve always been a genFor me, gratitude is erally positive kind of guy. At often a choice. One of my friends tells a story in which he asked a times, my positive outlook is tested by the friend, “How are you doing?” To which the events of life, and there are times I feel friend replies, “I’m grateful.” My friend bitter or resentful or angry or hurt.

And I have discovered that the more I As I reflect on that, what strikes me is the simplicity and power of it—I’m grate- practice it, the easier it becomes to ful. I choose to see the world this way. I choose this path. Gratitude is like a muschoose to see the blessings in my life, to cle that way.

The other thing I’ve found is that as I It’s possible for us to choose other ways to see the world. All we need to do is exercise this muscle, it affects other peoscan the headlines, and it’s easy to see ple. Gratitude is infectious.

The old saying says, “Smile, and the the world as a scary place … or to view the world with anxiety … or as a place of world smiles with you; cry, and you cry danger. We can find all kinds of reasons alone.” I think that’s only partly true. A to be angry or frustrated with life. We can person who cries or whines or complains find all kinds of reasons to view the world has the power to drag others down with as a place of regret and pain. It’s true that them. The same is true of those who are

grateful or who rejoice in the goodness of life. They lift other people up.

I’m grateful.

Now that doesn’t mean we need to be grateful all the time. That’s an impossible standard to meet. I’m not grateful all the time. There are times I’m overwhelmed by sadness or pain. And I’m not grateful in the least for mornings. Just ask anyone who knows me.

And I know there are some people for whom life is difficult right now. It’s hard, when you’re in the midst of loss or pain, to be grateful. It’s hard to imagine that there’s something good in life when all you feel is the pain.

But even so, are there things or persons in your life for whom you are grateful? Have you expressed your gratitude?

Might you try it?

As we begin to exercise that gratitude muscle, we find that we begin to live out the sense of thanksgiving not just on this weekend, but every day of our lives. We begin a process of thanksliving.

It is a life marked by gratitude and praise. It is marked by a posture of receiving the goodness of life rather than always seeking to grasp more and more stuff. We look at our lives from a new perspective, and see that we have enough, that we live out of a space of abundance.

How are you? As for me, I’m grateful.
