KSAR recruiting new members Join the team C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

There are no shortages of volunteer opportunities in Kimberley — whatever interests you, there is a group looking for people. But if your interests lead you in the direction of learning new skills in the great outdoors and having a really positive impact on people in trouble, perhaps Kimberley Search and Rescue is for you.

Kimberley Search and Rescue is actively recruiting new members now, with the plan of beginning the Ground Search and Rescue Training course in early November.

KSAR will be hosting an open house and information session this Saturday, Oct. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. at their home base behind the Kimberley Fire Hall. Stop by and learn about Search and Rescue, enjoy a barbecue, play some games and meet the local team.

SD6 PUBLIC MEETING

“Lots of input to consider” C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

About 100 people attended the public meeting with the SD6 board and staff last Thursday at McKim School. The purpose of the meeting was to seek input on the plans to reconfigure

schools across the District to a K to 7, 8 to 12 model. Meetings were also held in Invermere and Golden.

In Kimberley, the plan is to have three K to 7 schools, McKim, Lindsay Park and Marysville.

The middle school

would be no more and students would attend their neighbourhood school. This is all the result of the new Long Term Facility Plan, which is a requirement of the Ministry of Education.

Early snow was a welcomed sight for members of the KIXS team on Thanksgiving Monday! After months of dryland training in Kimberley, travelling to glaciers in Canmore, ski tunnels in Sweden and attending ski camps with Team BC, the junior racers are excited for any opportunity to train on real snow. With race season fast approaching in six weeks our local skiers will start travelling to Canmore to train on Frozen Thunder (a track that is produced by storing snow from last winter). Kimberley’s snow on Monday was something to be truly thankful for on a Thanksgiving weekend! Annika and Marielle Ackermann (photographed here) took full advantage of Kimberley’s early snow on Monday and were able to get some quality training in as they prepare for the 2016-17 race season.

The Winter Driving Safety Alliance recently launched the 2016 Shift into Winter Campaign— an annual road safety initiative that encourages drivers to be prepared and drive safety in winter.

As a member of the Alliance, Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting encourages everyone to shift into winter driving mode and prepare for the upcoming season.

Don’t wait until snow arrives. Whether you’re driving across town, or across the province, it’s important that you and

your vehicle are prepared for winter conditions.

Be part of the solution. A few simple steps could make a difference to your safety: · Road and weather conditions change quickly in winter and so should your driving. · Install four matched winter tires.

Tires marked with a 3 peak mountain/ snowflake symbol on the sidewall offer the best traction on snow and ice and in severe winter conditions. · Give your vehicle a winter check-up: Make sure the battery, brakes,

HEALING EARTH

lights, fuses, cooling/ heating systems, exhaust/electrical systems, belts and hoses are in top shape. · Before each trip, do a ‘circle check’ (walk around your vehicle to inspect its condition and possible reversing hazards). · Review your vehicle’s maintenance record. Take it in for repair if needed and report any concerns to your supervisor. · Keep your gas tank full to avoid condensation which can cause fuel lines to freeze.

On September 28th Jean Irvin, who was the Manager of the very successful annual KIOTAC (Kimberley International Old Time Accordion Championship), made a surprise presentation at our noon meeting. KIOTAC unfortunately is no longer a major Kimberley event but its legacy continues to support Kimberley community organizations. Jeany presented a $5,000.00 cheque to Mike Cave for the Kimberley Splash Park. Mike Cave, who oversees the Splash Park project was most thankful for this donation and explained that the project is nearing completion. We will see KIOTAC, along with all the names of other major donors on the Splash Park “Wall of Recognition” when the project is completed. Thanks Jean and also thanks to all your past KIOTAC volunteers.

Two old favourites are returning to Studio 64 for the second concert in this fall’s Live at Studio 64 jazz & blues series which sees Nelson’s Laura Landsberg bring her mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, and rock vocals to Kimberley, backed by Doug Stephenson on bass and Tony Ferraro on drums, both of whom have excited audiences at Studio 64 when they have previously appeared there with other lead artists. Although this will be Laura Landsberg’s first performance in Kimberley, she is pretty well known around the Kootenays where she has been busy this summer, touring with her new CD, A Simple Twist.

In addition to performing as a vocalist, Landsberg is also a voice and ensemble instructor at Selkirk College. After graduating from Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, Landsberg went on to study with various vocal musicians including Bobby Ferrin, Dee Daniels, Rhiannon, Kiran Ahluwalia, and other talented vocal teachers. It is hardly surprising that she has garnered a solid reputation as a jazz singer, being the daughter of jazz musician Ian McDougall who played in the famous Johnny Dankworth jazz band in London during her childhood. Laura herself has performed with such jazz greats as Chris Brubeck, son of Dave Brubeck, Donnie Clark and Hugh Fraser. She has been the soloist with the Spokane Jazz Orchestra, the Vancouver Ensemble for Jazz Improvisation, and the Universal

Under the plan, McKim would become a K to 7 elementary.

Laura Landsberg brings a jazz a blues trio to town this Saturday.

Gospel Choir and has appeared at the Kaslo and Sandpoint jazz festivals. CBC Radio’s former host of Hot Air, Paul Grant, said of Laura Landsberg, “With so many singers trying to sound like someone else, it’s a treat to hear Laura Landsberg’s fresh and original voice – she’s a natural.”

As for Stephenson and Ferarro, they both appeared at Studio 64 backing Melody Daichun, to whom Stephenson is married, in 2014. On that occasion Doug played some pretty funky stuff on acoustic guitar. This time he’ll be on bass. Ferraro first created a drumming sensation at Studio 64

when he appeared with the Tyler Hornby Trio earlier that same year. On both occasions he received the loudest applause for his dynamic drum solos and sensitive rhythm accompaniment of the vocals.

On Saturday, October 15, Laura Landsberg brings her fresh and original voice to Studio 64 for what promises to be a memorable experience for jazz and blues lovers. The concert starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are available at Centre 64 (250-427-4919) or online at eastkootenaysnapd.com.

You’d be advised to snap ‘em up early (pardon the pun)!

Lots of input on school plan From Page 1 SD6 Superintendent Paul Carriere says that after all the meetings, the board and staff have a lot of input to consider.

Board Chair Amber Byklum chaired the meeting and told those attending that after going through the key points of the report, there would be an opportunity for questions and feedback and that notes would be taken in order that all input can be reviewed.

“It was conveyed that the draft recommendations are aimed at setting up the zone to be able to best manage programs and enrolments, reduce the amount of bussing by having more children attend their neighborhood school for longer, and reduce the number of transitions students go through, in the long term,” Carriere said. “People understand that there is

a problem with balancing numbers at the elementary schools at the present time, with Lindsay Park over capacity and the other schools slightly under.”

This doesn’t mean there weren’t concerns with what is proposed.

“There were concerns expressed about the timeline of 2017-18 being too ambitious, about building modifications, about dividing intermediate students between schools making the peer groups smaller, and about perceived inequity of opportunity between students attending McKim vs the smaller schools if the change goes ahead,” Carriere said. “There were a significant number of comments that people prefer the status quo, i.e. “if it ain’t broke…” However, there was also some support for more students being able to attend their neighborhood school for longer instead of having to ride the bus.”

FOR THE BULLE TIN

The Rotary Club of Kimberley thanks everyone who stopped by the ShelterBox display booth at this year’s Fall Fair. While crowds were slightly lower, visitors were very generous with donations after learning about all the improved and expanded forms of life saving aid now being supplied by ShelterBox to disaster victims around the world. A substantial total of $2,450 was donated in two days. These donations go to people, not to governments.

“We were able to mail a cheque in the amount of $3,000 to ShelterBox Canada as a result of the two separate appeals for funds in September (the one million Iraqi refugees from the City of Mosul after the ISIS terrorists leave in October and the earlier appeal for the earthquake victims in Italy)”, stated Graham Mann, ShelterBox Ambassador.

As always Rotary had a ShelterBox set up at the Community Fall Fair. Above, Rotarian Sandra Roberts gives a tour.

“Thank you to those who donate online to ShelterBox Canada, providing desperately needed funds. Additionally, a special thanks is extended to the Fall Fair volunteers, the Kimberley Bulletin and Grubstake Pizza who have provided us with their support every year.

Following eight years at the Fall Fair, The Rotary Club of Kimberley has raised $149,470 allowing us to purchase 138 fully equipped ShelterBoxes. Kimberley truly

is a caring community!”

Because the need is never-ending, please donate now. Go to www.shelterboxcanada. org/donate.php or deposit your cheque, payable to ShelterBox Canada, at the Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Kimberley. All donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt.

At a weekend meeting of the Canadian Amateur Ski Association in St. Joviette, Quebec, it was announced that senior events for the Canadian Ski Championships will be held at Kimberley, B.C., from February 20 to 24.

Chaiman Bud Clark of Ottawa said the four-way championship will consist of an alpine event, made up of the downhill and slalom contest, while the Nordic event will take in cross-country and jumping.

Both are to be held under the chairmanship of Sam Wormington, a vice-president of the western division of the C.A.S.A. It was also announced that the junior events of the championship are to be held at Rossland, March 1-2, under chairmanship of John Veit, another C.A.S.A. official.

To local ski enthusiasts the C.A.S.A. decision to choose Kimberley as the site of the senior championship events, is a mementous one, and indicative of the district’s growing popularity as a skiing centre.

KIMBERLEY BOY NEAR VICTIM

Last evening about 8:30 p.m., a three year old boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Scheffer, 555 Beale Avenue, was put to bed in his crib in his parent’s bedroom. The door was closed and to the best of the parent’s knowledge, he was assumed to be asleep or nearly so. In a very short while, his mother, upon investigating his crying, found the room to be filled with smoke, so much so that she could not enter until she put a wet cloth over her mouth. After getting the child out of the room, a few buckets of water extinguished the fire in the crib mattress and bed clothes. It appears the youngster went into pockets of a pair of his father ’s trousers which were on a chair in the bedroom and found a box of matches which he took into the crib with him to play with. When the crib clothing was afire he got out of the crib and went into his parent’s bed,. This is a case where the child was extremely lucky that he did not suffer burns or asphyxiation.

Fortunately his parents were at home at the time. Damage was confined to the crib bed clothing and some smoke damage to clothing in the bedroom closet.

Public Notice The City of Kimberley Fuels Management Program is starting up again with pile burning in the Duck Pond and Myrtle Mountain Units as soon as next week. Both Duck Pond and Myrtle Mountain projects are located above Forest Crown on the east side of the Kimberley Nature Park. The burning is the last stage of the projects which are UBCM funded treatments that started last year and are projected to be completed by the end of this year.

Search and Rescue recruits new members From page 1 Currently, KSAR has about 25 active members and it is hoped this recruitment drive will add a dozen or so more, says Daleen Bybee, team member and administrative assistant.

“We meet once a week to practice skills,” Bybee said.

“Those skills are needed when we respond to callouts for avalanche rescue, rope rescues, ground searches, swiftwater rescues and other types of searches.”

There are no requirements other than a desire join a team of dedicated people, she said.

“There are no particular physical requirements, though there is a lot of training outdoors and you would have to be physically fit enough to walk up the ski hill or take part in avalanche training in the snow.

Team members are required to carry their own pack containing enough gear to keep you going for 24 hours.”

But all training for rescues is provided free of charge. You would begin with the 70 hour Ground Search and Rescue training and then can choose others that interest you.

This is a team of dedicated volunteers and the unit itself is on call all the time. However, Bybee says the membership agreement is that you are available for at least 50 per cent of practice sessions and call outs.

“We understand that people have job commitments and may be out of town,” she said.

Bybee herself joined KSAR last year after their fall recruitment drive and hasn’t regretted it one bit.

“KSAR is a really awesome team; we have so much fun and there is so much respect from the top down, from the leaders to the newest member. You learn new skills together as a team. It’s a community of people with the same goals.

“And there are lots of different opportunities.

If you don’t care for being in the water, you can pick something else, like rope rescue.

You pick the type of training you want. It’s a

really neat opportunity to meet new people. I never knew one single person on the team when I joined and they were all right here in Kimberley.”

Apart from the training, there are the actual calls and Bybee has been on several memorable ones in her short tenure.

“There was the search for the toddler at Premier Lake last June — that was my first search.

It ended well and it was

so cool. There were about 20 of our team members and about 100 all together from teams around the area.

“A couple of months later we rescued some canoeists on St. Mary’s and then a successful missing person search.

There’s a lot of satisfaction. It’s what you train for. It’s very high adrenaline on a rescue but to return someone safely makes it all worth it.”

If you would like to be

a part of the team, drop by the open house on

Saturday afternoon. If you can’t make it, call

Protecting the last intact sea H urray for sustainability. Commercial fishing for the Antarctic toothfish is permitted in the Ross Sea, provided that the biomass of the spawning stock (total weight of all the fertile adult fish) is still at least half of its previous level 35 years later. And at no time in that 35 years will the spawning biomass be allowed to fall below 20 percent of the pre-exploitation level.

That sounds pretty safe and reasonable. What better guarantee of the future health of the toothfish stock could you ask for?

Well, it might help to know where the toothfish actually spawn (but you don’t, not for sure. It’s certainly not the Ross Sea).

And it could be handy to know when and how often they go off as adults to spawn, because they don’t mature sexually for about fifteen years and they can live to fifty.

Never mind. We’ll just pick a number for the Total Allowable Catch – say, 3,000 tonnes a year – and we’ll see how it goes.

These are big, slow-growing fish, about two metres long and up to 150 kg as adults, so 3,000 tonnes is around 30,000 individuals. That might be a safe take, but we don’t even know their numbers.

Actually, we don’t know all that much about the seals and penguins and killer whales that are the top predators in the Ross Sea either. Likewise for the silverfish, Antarctic krill and crystal krill at the bottom of the food chain. This is a very complex ecology, and we’ve just begun to study it.

If we had a dozen other ocean areas where there has been no major human interference yet, taking a few risks with this one would not be such a big deal. But

this is the last one: in the Ross Sea, one and a half million sq. km. off the Antarctic coast where there has been no pollution, and where fishing only began in 1996, the local ecosystem is still more or less intact.

That is why there has been a proposal before the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) for the past five years to turn the Ross Sea into a Marine Protected Area.

New Zealand in the closest inhabited land to the Ross Sea, and three New Zealand-based fishing companies are taking half the toothfish that are caught there. Yet it was Gwynne the New Zealand government, in partnership with Dyer the United States, that took the initiative to designate the Ross Sea as an MPA, of which around two-thirds (one million sq. km.) would be a strict “no-take”area..

Twenty-three of the 25 members of the CCAMLR have supported this proposal at each October meeting for the past five years, but the organisation only works by consensus. Every member must agree, and China and Russia didn’t. But last October the Chinese came around and supported the idea, and the Russians at least committed to “inter-sessional discussion” of the proposal: back-channel talks before this year’s meeting.

They all know the bigger picture is grim. Nobody takes much consolation from the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s most recent statistics, according to which the total global catch was 86 million tonnes in 1996, and only down to 77 million tonnes in 2010: an eleven percent decline in fourteen years.

The FAO’s statistics are very old, and if the trend has continued since 2010 then

the total global catch is probably down to around 73 million by now. Moreover, this apparently slow decline may be misleading, because as the old stocks dwindled fishing fleets began operating in remote southern seas where the stocks had remained intact until recently.

If the only reason the global catch numbers still look fairly good is because the fishing fleets move on to new areas as old stocks become depleted, then we are in for a big shock when they run out of new areas to exploit. Probably not very long from now.

One of the good things about sea creatures, however, is that most of them reproduce very fast. Give them a decade or two without fishing, and it’s amazing how quickly they come back. So what marine life really needs is Marine Protected Areas that include 10 to 20 percent of the oceans’ total area.

About two percent of the oceans is currently in MPAs, mostly in areas that are not important to the commercial fishing industry. And only half of that area is strict “no-take” reserves that can act as nurseries for the recovery of entire damaged ecosystems.

Turning the Ross Sea into an MPA won’t reverse all the damage, but it is scientifically very important. It is even more important politically, because international cooperation on this could lead to much broader common action to save the marine biosphere.

This year’s CCAMLR meeting opens in Hobart, Tasmania on 17 October. The Russians are not even major players in the Ross Sea fishery, and there is at least a chance that this time they may do the right thing.

Fire Prevention Week - Don’t Wait Check the Date This year’s fire safety message is “Don’t Wait, Check the Date”. Smoke alarms are a critical component in home fire safety planning. The 2016 Fire Prevention Week theme is “Don’t Wait, Check the Date” on your smoke alarm. According to an NFPA report, in one-fifth (20 percent) of homes with smoke alarms, the smoke alarms aren’t working; three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without smoke alarms (38 percent) or with no working smoke alarms (21 percent).

There is a general assumption that simply having a smoke alarm will offer us enough safety. The truth is that regular testing, maintenance and replacing older alarms is required to give us the best odds of escaping a fire. Smoke alarms should be replaced at or before they reach ten years of age. Most smoke alarms have a manufactured date on the back or in the battery housing. Some manufacturers have even gone as far as putting a best before date on them or building in an audible warning when they reach a certain age.

The History of Fire Prevention Week For over nine decades, Fire Prevention Week has been observed during the week that includes October 9th to commemorate the Great Chicago and Peshtigo fires. On the 40th anniversary of those fatal fires the Fire Marshal’s Association of North America decided that beginning in 1922, Fire Prevention Week would be observed in a way that would keep the public informed about the importance of fire prevention.

On October 8, 1871 a fire broke out in Chicago Illinois. During the following day the fire burned wildly We Take Safety out of control, spreading out and destroyed more than 17,400 structures. In the aftermath 250 people were Seriously. dead and another 100,000 people homeless. Common folklore tells a tale that Mrs. Catherine O’Leary’s barn was the first structure to burn after a cow kicked over a lamp. Yet, there was little evidence that O’Leary was For all your safety products: in the barn when the fire broke out or that one of her five milking cows sparked the blaze. As a matter of fact, Mrs. O’Leary swore that she’d been in bed early that night, and that the cows were also tucked in for the evening. So, without the aid of modern investigative tools the true cause of the blaze was never discovered.

The Great Chicago Fire is still one of the best known fires in North America but a second blaze started on October 8th in Peshtigo Wisconsin. Accounts of that day claim the fire began when railroad workers Safety & Industrial Products clearing land for track accidentally ignited a brush fire. Aggressive flames stormed through the area and in www.guillevinsafety.com short order the small town of Peshtigo was gone. The Peshtigo Fire is the most devastating fire in North 716 Ind. Rd. #1 American history. The fire raged through Northeast Wisconsin, burning down 16 towns, killing 1,152 people, FLECK BROS. Cranbrook and scorching 1.2 million acres before it ended.

250-426-2267 Canada has not been immune to such large scale losses of life and property. The Great Miramichi Fire was a massive series of forest fires that devastated communities throughout much of northern New Brunswick in October of 1825. It resulted in a loss of more than 30 percent of the homes in Fredericton. In Newcastle, 248 of 260 buildings were destroyed in just 3 hours while only 6 of 70 buildings survived in the Every Second Can Mean nearby village of Douglastown. Many other communities were completely destroyed.

The Difference Between Life And Death Reports claim there were more than 200 people killed while others speculate that number could be into the thousands. That fire still ranks as one of the three largest The ‘Fire Prevention Week’ please take some time to go forest fires ever recorded in North America.

Avs begin title defence on Island No longer underdogs, COTR women’s volleyball team begin new season with road trip to Camosun and VIU BRAD MCLEOD

In 2015-16, the College of the Rockies women’s volleyball team shocked the PACWEST conference by storming their way to their first provincial championship.

The Avs entered last year’s playoffs ranked sixth in the conference before defeating three higher ranked squads on their way to a league title. After 15 years of flying under the radar, the COTR volleyball program was finally getting some recognition.

Now they enter the new season in a position they’ve never been in before.

“In the past, College of the Rockies has always kind of had the underdog mentality and we could sneak some wins here or there because people, maybe, didn’t know what we’d

be like,” said head coach John Swanson. “[Now], we’re not underdogs anymore, we’re going to have the bullseye on us [and] we’re going to have to be diligent and responsible in our play …. teams are going to come out and want to take us down.”

Despite perhaps not being able to surprise their opponents as much as they’ve grown accustomed to in the past, Swanson is confident that the team is up to the task.

“I like that challenge [of being defending champions], I would much rather be the team that people are pursuing than the underdog and we have the personnel that can handle that,” he said. “If we were a bunch of firstyear players and new to the league, it would be really hard, but we have a lot of vets and even

[our] first-year players that are coming in [have] raised their game.”

“We’re not underdogs anymore, we’re going to have the bullseye on us [...] teams are going to come out and want to take us down.”

John Swanson The Avs open their season on the road with four straight matches against competition on Vancouver Island. On October 13 and 14, they play the Camosun Chargers before facing the Vancouver Island University Mariners on October 15 and 16.

Swanson said that while it will be a diffi-

cult way to start the new campaign, he hopes his team will embrace the opportunity to prove that they’re still an elite group.

“It’s going to be tough … it’s our longest trip [and] the teams on the Island are going to be very strong,” he said.

“The fatigue of the bus trip is hard on the ladies and we will not only physically have a challenge because you get tired, but mentally it’s going to be a big challenge too.

“We’ll [tell] the players to embrace this challenge and come out and play aggressively and we might be able to steal a couple of matches.”

Historically, Vancouver Island trips have not been kind to the Avs. Last season they lost three of four matches while on Camosun and VIU’s home courts.

Although Swanson admits that it’s hard to rank teams before the year has started, due to the turnover of rosters at this level, he believes the Avs are in good shape to be competitive against their early opposition.

“I think we should be in a pretty good spot … I’ve done some scouting on what we have on Camosun last year and VIU last year [and] we’ll go in with a similar game plan [as last year],” Swanson said. “[Camosun] has two or three players that are returning and one particular power hitter who’s a key player, so we know that they’re still going to find her and set her the ball so we can [prepare] for her.

TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO

Avs libero Alexa Koshman plays the ball for a teammate during a game last season. Koshman is returning for her third season, this year.

“VIU have a lot of returning players [and] they’re national champs [but] the one thing they don’t have is their main middle attacker, who was an all-Canadian, but they still have a lot of talent on the outside.”

Although as reigning champions, the underdog card is off the table, the Avs are still a diffi-

cult team to define. According to Swanson, for their opening stretch of matches, it will up to their competition to define them, while they just play their game.

“People might still [overlook us because] we didn’t have a great regular season [last year], we just peaked at the right time,” he said. “[So] if they decide to

take us lightly that’s fine [and] if they are wanting to take us down because we are PACWEST champions [we’re comfortable with that too].”

The Avs return to Cranbrook for their home opener on Friday, October 28, where they’ll take on the Douglas College Royals at the newly renovated COTR gymnasium at 6 p.m.

The Senior Boys soccer team travelled to Nelson where they remained undefeated.

They tied the LV Rogers Bombers 0-0 and then went on to defeat the Norkam Saints 4-1.

The Senior Boys’ and Girls’ Volleyball teams travelled to Edmonton to

play in the prestigious Panther Invitational.

Both teams had small rosters which did not allow for players to receive a break. Both teams were courageous with their small teams.

The boys won two matches on day one and then lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The girls struggled with their pool-play losing four matches on day one – all in three sets.

Day two was successful with an undefeated record in the playoffs winning three straight matches.

This coming weekend both senior volleyball teams will travel to

Kelowna to play in a provincial ranking event: “Best of the West”. Both junior volleyball teams will be playing in Jaffray, and there is a home tournament at MBSS and LMS fields for the Sr. Boys’ Soccer team. The Rugby teams will also be travelling to Nelson to play on Wednesday.

Avs Men set up for success New COTR men’s volleyball coach to rely on strength of veteran players BR AD MCLEOD

Although Herb Tepper may just be a rookie, the new head coach of the College of the Rockies men’s volleyball team knows that his squad’s chances of being competitive this season rest on their veterans While Tepper is no stranger to coaching volleyball — he’s been coaching in the club league in Cranbrook for over 15 years and was one of the founders of the East Kootenay Volleyball Club — this is his first shot at being the head coach of the Avs, and he has high hopes for the group he’s inheriting.

“I have pretty good expectations because we have a lot of returning players,” Tepper said after practice on Monday. “We also have a couple of really good rookies that are going to help out as well this year, so I think that it’s looking positive.”

Last season, the men’s Avs, who were coached by John Swanson pulling double duties as the head of both the men’s and women’s programs, ended the year with a fourth-place finish at the PACWEST provincial champion-

ship after going 9-15 in the regular season. Tepper believes the group’s biggest strength lies with the players who achieved that accomplishment last season.

“We have third-year players and a number of second-year players, so they know the league [and] understand what needs to be done [which] I think is going to help the whole team,” Tepper said. “It will be key to keep our top players healthy for us to be successful.”

Tepper pointed to a couple of returning standouts from last season as players he believed would be stars for the squad in the new campaign. He said he expects 6’9” setter Alex Cassels, who is now in his fourth year at the school, to be a leader once again, and 6’5” outside hitter Patrik Toze to have an important impact in his sophomore season Toze, who was recruited from Brisbane, Australia, a season ago and was last year’s Avs Rookie of the Year, was sidelined for the entire month of September rehabbing an injury. Although he will be good to go to start the year, Tepper warned that due

to his lack of preseason training, it may take some time for him to regain his form.

PATRIK TOZE The Avs open their season on the road with four straight matches against competition on Vancouver Island. On October 13 and 14, they play the Camosun Chargers before facing the Vancouver Island University Mariners on October 15 and 16. Tepper expects both teams to provide a formidable challenge for his squad.

“Camosun [are the] defending champions, two years in row [but] they’ve lost their top setter[who was] the best setter in the league,” he said. “They’re going to be a bit different team but they’ll still be strong.

“And, VIU has almost all their players [back] except their top power-hitter, so they’ll be

strong [as well]. We’re going to be in for a challenge on the road, right up front.”

While the Avs did some scrimmaging against Ambrose College in September, the men did not play in any preseason tournaments this year. Although Tepper recognizes that playing their very first four matches since last season on the road in four straight days will be very difficult, he believes they have enough talent to handle it.

“We are challenged that way because we’re the only team that plays four back-to-back matches on weekends but the good news is that I have some bench players that I think can play a role and help out the starters,” he said. “[Since] the starters can’t go four nights in a row, you need some depth on your bench and I’m fortunate that I have a few players that are a bit of a surprise to me, so it’s really nice.”

The Avalanche men return to Cranbrook for their home opener on Friday, October 28, where they’ll take on the Douglas College Royals at the newly renovated COTR gymnasium at 8 p.m.

East Kootenay hopes to double local presence at next year’s 55+ BC Games BR AD MCLEOD

The 28th Annual 55+ BC Games were recently held in Coquitlam from September 20 to 24, and according to the president of Zone Seven — the region representing towns from the East Kootenay — it was a huge success for local senior athletes.

“It went quite well … [the medals we won] were pretty well distributed from Golden to Fernie to Creston and in between,” said president John Boucher.

There were 35 attendees at the games from the East Kootenay zone participating in a number of different activities. There were six members of Zone Seven in five pin bowling, eight in pickleball, five in carpet bowling, three in track and field, six in cribbage, one in tennis

and one in cycling.

There were also a few additional competitors who joined other region’s teams to participate in their sport, including one slow-pitch player, three ice hockey players, and one soccer player.

Six different members of the East Kootenay community came home with medals, and the final count for the region was three golds, four silvers, and two bronzes. Cranbrook’s own Jim Johnson picked up a silver medal in both power walking and javelin, while Bruce Williams, also of Cranbrook, earned a gold in power walking.

According to Boucher, 2016 saw an increase in memberships, the number of participants in the annual games, and the funding for

sports in zone seven. For the Vernon 2017 edition of the games, he has his sights on even more success.

“With the games being closer [next year], the goal is to increase from 35 participants to maybe 70 participants,” he said. “And, then in 2018, because the games [will be] held in Kimberley/Cranbrook we hope to have 200-300 people because there’s no travel involved.”

A joint bid between Kimberley and Cranbrook earned the rights to host the 2018 55+ BC Games back in September 2015. Although a committee to plan the event has not yet been formed, the Zone Seven executive branch are already working to increase the number of participants in the community in order to show-

case their best talent to the province by the time 2018 comes around.

Unfortunately, the executive recently lost their treasurer/registrar. The combined position was too time-consuming for one person and as the activity will increase with the Vernon 2017 Games, and even more so for the 2018 Kimberley/Cranbrook Games, they are in desperate need of someone to fill the position of treasurer.

Boucher said that someone has already agreed to take over the registrar position but that a Treasurer is still needed. He said that the workload is somewhere between 10 - 20 hours per month and anyone interested should contact him at 250-427-1844 or by e-mail at jbandjb2000@gmail.com.

Samsung halts sales of Galaxy Note 7 C ANADIAN PRESS

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - An Ottawa man who received a replacement Galaxy Note 7 smartphone on Tuesday morning says he plans to keep using it despite a notice from manufacturer Samsung that it was halting sales after reports of fires in both original and exchange models.

Samsung Canada issued a statement late Monday asking all retail outlets to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 while the investigation is taking place.

The company, based in Mississauga, Ont., says Canadian consumers with either an original Galaxy Note 7 or replacement Galaxy Note 7 device should power down and stop using the device.

But Marc Stevens of Ottawa said he needs his phone too much and will likely “risk it” given the low likelihood of his phone bursting into flames.

“It’s just too handy. I love the pen, I love the features that come with it like the iris recognition. I can get into my phone a lot faster than I used to with password protection,” he said.

He added he’s kept a close watch on his original Galaxy Note 7 since getting it through his

Eleventh Annual

employer in August and has experienced no overheating issues.

Stevens said he filled out a form on the Samsung Canada website requesting an exchange about 10 days ago and his new phone was delivered on Tuesday morning. He was transferring data from the old phone to the new when he heard that Samsung was now recommending that both versions be shut down.

Samsung says consumers seeking more information can call 1-800-SAMSUNG. South Korean safety authorities have said they found a possible new product defect in the new Galaxy Note 7 that may not be related to its batteries.

One of the safety officials said they have no idea when they would identify what caused the newer Galaxy Note 7 smartphones to catch fire.

Last month, Samsung said a tiny manufacturing error in the battery was to be blamed for the fires.

Transport Canada issued an advisory in September that airplane passengers and crew keep their Galaxy Note 7 smartphones in the cabin, not in checked baggage, because of the fire risk.

COMICS HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to your instincts and follow through on what is applicable at the moment. Schedule some downtime for later in the day to handle some personal matters. Keep your own counsel, and wait to share controversial news until you feel more confident. Tonight: Take a break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Friendship plays an unusual role in your day. You could find yourself bombarded by others’ requests. Know that you might be able to network and make new connections. A meeting will prove to be more beneficial than you originally had thought.

Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be in a situation where you must accept others’ mistakes and pitch in. You will anticipate being acknowledged for your efforts. Your expectations could be a source of trouble or confusion at a future date.

Just do what you must. Tonight: Out late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to a loved one who means a lot to you. This person often sets your imagination on fire and inspires you to make a difference. Your creativity could reach new heights. Test out some of your ideas on others. Tonight: Where music and friends can be found.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Greet someone’s offer, idea or efforts positively. You know that this person often has holes in his or her thinking, and tends to focus on his or her desires more than realistic results. Use diplomacy to clarify facts without making others uncomfortable.

Tonight: Meet a request.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A close friend or associate could be demanding a lot from you.

Ask yourself whether this person’s requests are reasonable.

You’ll understand motives more clearly and be able to build on them. Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges and charms a loved one. If you are single, you could meet someone who makes you daydream. Use caution, as this person might not be as authentic as he or she seems. Your intense ideas will get through, no matter what.

Tonight: Ever playful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be more forthright. Listen to what is being shared by a roommate or family member. Though you might not agree, don’t discard this person’s feelings. There is an element of validity in what he or she is saying. Tonight: Make it early. You will want to get plenty of R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not have planned to have your intuition dominate the day. You will want to buckle down and clear out some paperwork. A conversation could have

an otherworldly quality to it.

Know what is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Curb a need to do something your way. Be as logical as possible when dealing with your funds. Someone might present an offer or a deal that seems too good to be true. Evaluate what needs to happen in order to make this deal sound more realistic. Tonight: Keep to your budget.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your mind goes in many directions, and it seems as if you are moving from one unusually creative idea to the next. Try to stay grounded, and be especially aware when driving and carrying out errands or deeds that require your focus. Tonight: Where there is great music.

DEAR ANNIE

by Annie Lane

TAXIING THROUGH LIFE Dear Annie: My wife is terrified of flying.

Always has been. Back when we were deciding on a honeymoon destination, I convinced her we should try Hawaii -- and she spent the flight so on edge that it must have taken years off her life. I felt terrible. It was the last time she went on a plane. That was 15 years ago.

Her phobia hasn’t interfered too much with our lives up until now. We live within driving distance of all her extended family members.

The issue has to do with my parents, who live out of state. They used to come visit us once a year, and I’d usually fly out to see them once a year on my own or with one of our kids. But they’re getting older, and traveling is becoming more difficult for them. I would really like my wife to visit them with me at least once a year. She loves my parents, but she’s so petrified of flying that she doesn’t even consider it an option.

Do you have any tips to help calm the nerves of an anxious flier? Or should I give up trying to convince her? -- Grounded Dear Grounded: It’s time to ground your wife’s nerves. Try to talk to her about what it is she is so afraid of. Is it the actual flying or that she might have a panic attack on the plane? Inquiring about her fears will help her feel supported and more connected to you.

After she opens up, she might consider trying hypnotherapy, which some formerly anxious fliers swear by. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which asks people to examine their thoughts and the evidence (or lack thereof ) that they have for their thoughts, is another option. If you still can’t get her to agree to planes, there are always trains and automobiles. Although a road trip requires more time off work, who knows? Maybe the traveling time would be a great bonding experience for you and your wife.

Dear Annie: I get so many return address labels in the mail that I could wallpaper my whole house with them! I did not ask for them, and I don’t need them. They are such a waste. Could you please print the contact info for the office that people can call to get their names off these lists? You will be doing a lot of us a great service. -- Spammed Dear Spammed: The Direct Marketing Association is a trade organization comprising thousands of businesses that send direct mail. In the interest of placating the public, DMA built a website, DMAchoice.org, that lets you adjust settings to receive less or different promotional mail.

In addition, register with CatalogChoice (https://www.catalogchoice.org), whose stated mission is “to stop junk mail for good.” Another such nonprofit is 41pounds. org, named for the amount of junk mail the average American receives each year. There is no central database with which you can register to stop receiving all junk mail forever, but by dovetailing these free services, you can cancel a good amount of unwanted mail, reclaiming your inbox and sanity.

labour shortages because of a proposed liquefied natural gas project.

B.C. Hydro released the report today, which says Site C construction is on time and on budget.

The Crown corporation’s website says 1,500 workers will be employed at the main dam site by 2018.

The project has faced court challenges by area First Nations.

Amnesty International recently called for a stop work order on the project, saying it threatens indigenous rights.

ANAHIM LAKE, B.C. - A Saskatchewan man is dead and four other men were injured after a plane crashed in British Columbia’s central Interior on Monday.

Transportation Safety Board spokesman Bill Yearwood says the de Havilland Beaver aircraft left an airfield in Vanderhoof, B.C., east of Prince George, and was headed to Laidman Lake.

Yearwood says the men were planning on hunting in the remote

region.

He says the plane crashed into trees, although the aircraft did not catch fire in the snow-covered area.

Rescuers found one man dead at the scene, and Yearwood says one of the other four men injured was in serious condition.

The name of the man killed hasn’t been released.

The Transportation Safety Board has sent a team to investigate the cause of the crash.

partment advised police about a house fire and they believed someone might still be inside.

On attendance one of the occupants of the house was attempting to use a garden hose to extinguish the flames.

Cranbrook Fire Department was able to put out the fire and kept the damage contained to the front of the home.

No other structures were damaged.

Cranbrook RCMP, along with the General Investigation Section were able to quickly identify the suspect and he was arrested without incident.

A 25 year old Cranbrook resident is currently charged with Arson and will appear before the courts at a later date. This was not a random act of arson and the victim was targeted.

“The Cranbrook RCMP are thankful that no one was injured in this intentionally set fire,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron. “The quick response of the Fire Department ensured that the damage was kept to a minimum.”
