Decision to reject Segartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidacy final, says BC Liberals Spokesperson says reasons are not provided for disproval, no appeal allowed under party rules TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The B.C. Liberal Party is offering scant details on why a local residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application for candidacy in the Kootenay-East riding was denied.

Terry Segarty, one of three candidates running for the B.C. Liberal nomination, said his application was rejected by the party.

An internal party email addressed to Segarty confirmed the decision, which was made by the Candidate Approval Subcommittee (CAS). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having reviewed your application and related documentation, CAS is denying you the status of being a contestant for the Candidate Selection Meeting in Kootenay-East. All deci-

sions of the CAS are final and cannot be appealed pursuant to section 9.2(d) of the BCLP Constitution.â&#x20AC;?

Jillian Stead, a BCLP spokesperson, said the CAS looks at multiple factors when deciding on an application for candidacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Candidate Approval Subcommittee (CAS) does not provide the reasons for a disproval,â&#x20AC;? Stead said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;however, what CAS typically considers is the Questionnaire completed by individuals and whether or not those responses are complete, thorough and consistent against the background file compiled by independent researchers.â&#x20AC;?

MIKE’S BOOKNOTES

Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin

Taking on the mantle of the ‘publishing police’ MIKE SELBY

It’s called ‘The Raven’s Bride’—and it was one of the most talked about and most reviewed book of 2011. It was the seventh work by historical novelist Lenore Hart—a Florida native and university teacher who also writes books for younger readers. ‘The Raven’s Bride’ is the story of Virginia Clemm— Edgar Allan Poe’s 13-year-old wife (and first cousin). Sadly, Virginia would pass away from tuberculosis while in her early 20s, causing Poe to sink into depression and alcoholism. It is not much of a stretch to believe that Poe’s bests

works—‘Annabel Lee’ and more specifically ‘The Raven’—were sparked by his wife’s death.

Hart makes much of this inspiration in her novel, delighting critics who called it “wonderfully imagined and believable,” “impressive,” “very convincing,” and “highly recommended.”

And then on Facebook, someone called it “plagiarized.”

While social media can be cruel and is full of trolls, this was not the case here. Hart’s accuser was the British author and journalist Jeremy Duns, who was best known for a time for un-

earthing pages to a lost James Bond novel called ‘Per Fine Ounce.’ This discovery was soon eclipsed in 2011, when he discovered that fellow spy author Q. R. Markham had lifted sections of his novel ‘Assassin of Secrets’ from other authors. Although Duns had originally published a glowing review of the book, someone contacted him stating they felt a passage had been taken from a John Gardner novel. Duns then reread it with a critical eye, and found Markham had plagiarized not only from Gardner, but from a dozen different authors as well. The result was ‘Assassin of Secrets’ was recalled by its publisher and pulled from all bookstores.

Q. R. Markham sent a letter of apology to Duns, various newspapers, and his publishers, with various attempts to explain why he passed off others’ work as his own, and why he thought he could get away with it. None of which read as heartfelt

Mike Selby let alone convincing.

Duns, who would rather be writing than researching the wrongs of other writers, soon began to notice a problem with mystery novelist R. J. Ellory, the author of ‘A Quiet Belief in Angels,’ ‘Vendetta,’ and ‘Carnival of Shadows.’ Ellory has won numerous literary awards, and a check of the readers’ reviews on Amazon.com will reveal a host of lengthy, indepth, and glowing reviews of his work.

All written by Ellory himself. Duns had discovered Ellory was his own biggest fan, posting fake reviews under a va-

riety of fake names.

Known as “sock-puppetry” in the publishing industry, Duns found Ellory had taken this practice a step further, using his false identities to leave bad reviews of books by other authors.

“Praising yourself is pathetic,” Duns wrote in an open letter to him, expressing his outrage for “giving damning and very snide reviews to perceived rivals.”

Ellory quickly removed all of his false reviews, and issued a press release stating “I wholeheartedly regret the lapse of judgement.” One of those fellow authors was Susan Hill, who commented “once you’re found out reviewing yourself glowingly and dissing others your reputation will never ever recover.”

Duns has also exposed authors Matt Lynn and Stephen Leathers for engaging in the same “sock-puppetry” as Ellory. His work has caused the Crime Writer’s Association to issue a state-

ment condemning, what they call, “#sockpuppet behaviour.”

So…when Jeremy Duns accused Hart of plagiarizing parts of ‘The Raven’s Bride,’ it was taken very seriously.

Duns stated Hart had indeed committed “unquestionable literary thievery”—from a Cothburn O’Neal’s 1956 novel ‘The Very Young Mrs. Poe.’ Although Duns wasn’t the first to notice this, he was certainly the first not to be ignored.

Unlike others Duns called out, Hart replied that she had done no such thing. Certain passages do indeed mirror some of Cothburn O’Neal’s work, but Hart states that is only because they both used the same historic sources. Duns remained not convinced, but Hart stuck to her guns. Her publisher, St. Martin’s Press, soon got involved, and conducted an internal audit of Hart’s book.

“As Ms. Hart’s publisher,” St. Martin’s Press commented, “we have

taken time to consider the allegations carefully, rather than responding prematurely to demands for immediate action made by third parties.We have reviewed that response and remain satisfied with Ms. Hart’s explanation.”

That was that. ‘The Ravens’ Bride’ remains in print and available, and both Hart and Duns have gone on to write further novels. Duns, however, has found that his good deeds have not gone unpunished. While he himself would like to be known as a journalist, a novelist, and for “tons of others things [he] has done in [his] career,” he may forever been known as the “publishing police” or the “witch-hunter.”

For those interested, comparisons of the Hart’s work with O’Neal’s can be found here: http://mediadecode r. b l o g s . n y t i m e s . com/2011/12/08/is-itplagiarism-publisher-says-no/?_r=0

Abreast in the Rockies concludes successful season FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Abreast in the Rockies Dragon Boat Team have hung up our paddles after another year of fitness, festivals and fun. The team enjoyed a successful 2016 season and welcomed a number of new members.

We began our season in February with dry land training using a program devised by trainer, Jodie Pickering.

In May we were off to the pool for technique training and practice led by coaches Diane Butz with help from Martina Frensemeier and Valerie Ward.

Near the end of May the team was excited to finally get on the water!

Training and practicing began at Jim Smith Lake before we moved to Moyie for most of July, August and September.

Our coaches, drummers and steerspersons

guided us through all of our practices.

We attended our first festival in Lethbridge in June. This was a brand new experience for our newest members and of course hard work and fun for everyone. The team won silver in the C event and the survivors, with help from other breast cancer survivors attending the festival paddled hard to win gold.

In September we were off to Flathead Lake, near Kalispell Montana to compete.

The weather with strong winds did not cooperate and some races had to be cancelled but our team members braved the choppy waters and went on to receive 2nd in the A Consul race being just one tenth of a second behind the winners!

During the season

we continued to fundraise for breast cancer awareness, projects and team equipment. We are proud to have supported the EKFH Starlight campaign once again. We are breast cancer survivors and supporters and our purpose is to raise breast cancer awareness and to demonstrate that women living with breast cancer can lead full and active lives.

We marched in the Sam Steele parade carrying a banner to thank all of those in the community who have supported our team. We couldn’t do it without them!

Anyone wishing to find out more about dragon boating and the Abreast in the Rockies Team can call Connie at 250-489-5573 or email Sandy at szeznik@ shaw.ca

Shypitka, Wilks vow to support nomination winner CONTINUED from page 1 Segarty told the Townsman on Tuesday that his bid for the B.C. Liberal nomination was rejected this past weekend. Segarty was running alongside Tom Shypitka and David Wilks for the nomination, which will be decided by a party membership vote in a few weeks.

Segarty says his bid was denied because of the ‘Top Hat’ affair and his association with Bob McLelland, a former Social Credit cabinet minister who was scandalized for allegedly hiring an escort service that was under surveillance by police in 1985.

Segarty was a newly minted cabinet member at the time as a Social Credit MLA and had met with McLelland for breakfast earlier in the day of the incident.

However, he was dragged into McLelland’s court case through a subpoena, which was eventually quashed, according to Paul Willcocks, who chronicled the event, along with other politi-

cal scandals in his book, ‘Dead Ends’.

“It’s something that’s been out there in the community a long, long time — it was used against me during the last nominating period (2001) by persons associated with the campaign, and now it’s surfaced again,” Segarty said on Tuesday.

Willcocks concluded that Segarty had been unfairly maligned by the ‘Top Hat’ scandal.

Segarty previously represented the region as MLA when it was known as the riding of Kootenay from 19791986 as a Social Credit member.

With Segarty’s name off the ballot, that leaves Shypitka and Wilks going head-to-head for the nomination, which will be decided by membership vote on Oct. 22-23 in voting locations across the riding.

The two candidates have agreed to support each other no matter the outcome in a bid to prevent the NDP from winning the Kootenay-East seat, according

to a press release issued by the B.C. Liberal Party on Wednesday.

Wilks, a 20-year veteran of the RCMP, represented the Kootenay-Columbia riding federally for the Conservative Party for four years before losing his seat in the last election.

Shypitka is currently sitting on Cranbrook city council and works as a financial advisor.

Bill Bennett, the incumbent MLA and Minister for Energy and Mines, announced his retirement in June after serving through four electoral terms over 16 years in provincial politics.

“An anti-development, job-killing NDP government would be a disaster for British Columbia, especially in areas like Kootenay East where many of us depend on natural resources,” Bennett said.

“I’m really proud that Tom [Shypitka] and David [Wilks] have put their differences aside and agreed to fight side by side for the future of working people, families and seniors in the region.”

Suspect in shooting of police and murder found dead near Revelstoke

Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket found dead by police on Wednesday after extensive overnight manhunt ALEX COOPER Revelstoke Review

A man wanted in connection with a murder in Saskatchewan and a shooting that left a police officer injured near Golden was found dead near Revelstoke Wednesday morning, the RCMP reports.

Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket was found dead east of Revelstoke following an overnight manhunt that began near Golden on Tuesday afternoon.

“The RCMP can now confirm that we have located the body of the suspect we were searching for. He was found deceased,” wrote Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, an RCMP spokesperson in a news release. “A positive confirmation of identification and the exact cause of death is now the subject of a full investigation by the BC Coroner Service.”

Thunderblanket was first reported found at around 11:30 a.m. A few hours later, Mayor Mark McKee told several media outlets, including this one, that Thunderblanket was in police custody. At 5 p.m., the RCMP announced he was found dead.

RCMP said they delayed reporting on Thunderblanket’s death “in order to ensure that next of kin notifications had been completed, as well as notifications to all the partner agencies who have a connection or interest in this case.”

Independent Investigation Office of BC, the province’s independent police watchdog, has been called in to investigate “if there is a connection between the male’s death and the actions of police.”

The IIO says there was a further interaction between Thunderblanket and police near Revelstoke, after which he fled from police.

Marten Youssef, a spokesperson for the IIO, said the watchdog was sending nine investigators to Revelstoke.

The investigation could take anywhere from six to 18 months, he said.

Youssef would not

Friday, October 14, 2016 Page 5

provide any information on the incidents that led to Thunderblanket’s death, saying the only information came from RCMP and needed to be independently verified first.

Thunderblanket was wanted in connection with a murder in Little Pine First Nation, Saskatchewan Monday night.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was stopped at a police road stop about 25 kilometres west of Golden. He allegedly fired at police, injuring an officer, and fled in another stolen vehicle.

The officer experience non-life-threatening injuries and the Southeast RCMP Major Crimes Unit is investigating the shooting.

RCMP closed the Trans-Canada Highway while they searched for Thunderblanket. His vehicle was found just east of Revelstoke and the search focused on the Johnson Heights neighbourhood east of town.

Police blocked off access to the highway, leaving many travellers stranded for hours. They searched Johnson Heights and the surrounding area by helicopter and with police dogs. Residents of Johnson Heights were told to stay at home and those that were in town were not allowed to return home until close to midnight.

On Wednesday, things quieted down in Johnson Heights, but the search continued for the fugitive. Police were searching vehicles that were leaving the area, and were only allowing residents in.

At 11:30 a.m., an RCMP officer told the Review the search was over, but he did not go into details. A few hours later Mayor McKee confirmed reports Thunderblanket was in custody. At about 5 p.m., the RCMP reported he was found dead.

The whole incident left many people in town rattled, particularly in Johnson Heights, where police in camouflage uniforms were out

with dogs searching the woods around the subdivision and a helicopter was circling overhead on Tuesday.

“It makes people nervous, especially in Johnson Heights. People aren’t able to get to their homes, but there’s also people here with families who have dead-bolted their doors, which people never do up here,” said Christine Christensen. “In Johnson Heights it is so quiet because we’re so far from town. You know your neighbours, you know who’s across the street from you, but there’s so much backcountry behind us that you don’t know who can walk in your backyard in five seconds.”

Ice vs. Pats 2: Bad blood Last season’s top WHL scorer joins cast of much-anticipated, star-studded sequel BR AD MCLEOD

At the end of the third act, all hope seemed lost. After fighting so hard, the underdogs once again found themselves at their wit’s end. Following 60 minutes of heart-pumping action, filled with twists and turns, they only had one chance to make it out alive.

And then it happened. A young hero grabbed his shot at redemption and avenged his fallen twin brother.

They had won. They were safe. At last, the Kootenay Ice had won their first game of the season.

Last Friday’s game between the Ice and the Regina Pats could have easily been a Hollywood blockbuster.

After losing their first five games by a single goal, Kootenay — at the bottom of the league

standings — earned their first win against the Top-10-in-the-CHL ranked Pats in dramatic fashion.

Halfway through the first period Kaeden Taphorn was forced to exit the game after Pats defenceman Austin Wagner hit his head into the boards from behind, leaving him pouring with blood. A fight ensued between Wagner and defenceman Troy Murray but the Ice kept their cool.

As a result of the ensuing powerplay, Kootenay started to build their lead, which by the first intermission was a 3-0 cushion. After the break, the Pats came out firing on all cylinders and the Ice lost their lead, giving up the tying marker at the beginning of the third period.

They hung on by a string and then just

when it seemed like they were going to suffer the same fate as they had every night before, Keenan Taphorn was sprung on a break and buried his chance for an overtime game-winner.

“We have to play them hard [but] the game doesn’t allow for retribution anymore and we just have to focus on making sure we try to hurt them on the scoreboard.”

Luke Pierce Now, only a week later, the sequel is already on hand, as the Pats visit Cranbrook for a rematch tonight.

Last game’s villain, Wagner, is back in the

Pats lineup after being suspended for the past two games and last year’s WHL leading scorer, Adam Brooks, will be playing in his second game back in the league after getting a chance at Toronto Maple Leafs training camp.

Ice coach Luke Pierce, however, is much less romantic about the seemingly epic game.

“We’re mainly focused on the process, just making sure we’re getting better,” he said. “[If we do that], the wins will start to come and we feel confident about that. It’d be nice to get [a home win] out of the way early and I think our fans deserve it — they’ve been great — we just need a little bit extra and we’ll come out on the right side.”

Pierce doesn’t see the game as being about revenge or redemption in any way, but just another stiff test against one of the best team’s in the league.

“I think we did a good job [last game] right after [the Wagner hit], the way you make them pay is by scoring goals and we got our revenge in that sense,” he said. “I think it’s just extra motivation for our guys to compete.

“We have to play them hard, there’s no question, [but] the game doesn’t allow for retribution anymore and we just have to focus on making sure we try to hurt them on the scoreboard.”

Although he couldn’t make any guarantees, Pierce said he is hopeful that Kaeden Taphorn could be back for tonight’s game. He missed the last two contests after

Ice forward Matt Alfaro laughs in practice this week. The feisty winger will certainly be a thorn in the side of the Pats tonight. receiving close to 30 stitches in his face as a result of the hit.

“There’s a chance [he could be back], just as long as there’s no risk of tearing stitches or infection,” he said on Taphorn’s status. “He’s a tough kid [and I] give him credit. We hope to see him back, we’ve certainly missed him the last two games.”

The Ice also must accommodate another new arrival to the series in Adam Brooks. Brooks was recently cut from his shot at making the professional leagues this year and is looking to build upon his 201516 campaign where he got a league-best 120 points in 72 games.

In his WHL-return on Wednesday against the Portland Winterhawks, Brooks scored two goals.

“He’s a very dynamic

player and he adds to their already potent offense so it’s just another wrinkle to the game plan,” he said on the adjustments his team will have to make. “We obviously have a bit of confidence [having beat the Pats last week] but we have to understand that they’re going to come in looking for retribution.

“They’re going to be a much better team especially to start. We’re not going to catch them sleeping and we’ve got to be ready to go.”

According to Pierce, Payton Lee will start in net on Friday and if he’s good, he’ll be back for their next game. The Ice are carrying three goaltenders on their roster, but are still expected to re-assign one of them by the end of the week.

On Saturday, the Ice will play their first game

of the year against the Red Deer Rebels and while Pierce believes it will also be a good test, it’s hard to look beyond the Pats game for now. “[Red Deer] is still searching a little bit for their identity too and they’ve had some real good outings and had some tough outings,” he said. “They’re a big group and play a physical game [and] I think of all the teams we’ve seen so far, they’ll be the closest to us in the size factor.

“We’re still at this point focused on one game at a time, and we’ll worry about Regina first.”

Puck-drop for round two of the Pats-Ice series is at 7 p.m. at Western Financial Place.

The Ice enter the game with a 1-5-1-1 record and are still seeking their first home win.

Mount Baker runner wins Kimberley cross-country race TOWNSMAN STAFF

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

On the road again Nitros pack bags and head to the border this weekend JOSH LOCKHART

BRAD MCLEOD PHOTO

Zak Zborosky smiles during a drill in practice this week. He leads the Ice with seven goals.

Zborosky’s focus on team success

For the second weekend in a row, the Dynamiters are heading on the road to face off against teams in the Neil Murdoch division. Tonight the team travels across the border to Spokane to play the Braves (4-8-0-0), before going to West Kootenay to battle the Grand Forks Border Bruins (52-2-1) on Saturday.

The Braves are currently on a two-game losing skid. However, they have two players tied for first in league scoring: Paxton Malone with nine goals and 12 assists, and Mason Jones with five goals and 16 assists. Rounding out their top three scorers is rookie Carter Jones who has six goals and nine assists.

The Border Bruins are the surprise team of the season, thus far.

They have seven players who are averaging a

point a game or more.

Leading the attack is 20-year-old Dylan Haney with seven goals and 11 assists, followed

by Trey Mason with eight goals and nine assists.

They also have a dynamite power play operating at 26.47%, good enough for second in the league. Add in Anthony Galliart, who has been strong between the pipes with a .937 save percentage and

2.18 goals against average to accompany his 3-1-2 record, and you have a pretty good team.

The Dynamiters enter this weekend after a polarizing weekend which saw them dominate the Castlegar Rebels in the last 20 minutes en-route to a 6-1 victory, followed by a close 3-2 loss to division rivals, Columbia Valley Rockies. James Farmer is on a hot streak for the Nitros - he has had points in the last four games - getting seven along the way.

The Dynamiters look to continue to prove that they are a good road team by playing two full 60-minutes of hockey.

Puck drop for both games is at 8:00 PM. For up-to-date Kimberley Dynamiter information visit: www.kimberleydynamiters.net/ blog. Also follow Josh on twitter @joshuaklockhart.

Despite hot start in WHL goal scoring race, Ice star still looking to improve BR AD MCLEOD

Zak Zborosky is no stranger to scoring goals. In 58 games last season the now 19-yearold Kootenay Ice winger put up 32 markers, by far the highest amount on the team.

In his final WHL season, however, Zborosky seems to be taking his goal scoring game to a whole new level. He already has seven goals in his first eight games and is currently tied for second in the WHL in that department.

While he admits the goals are nice, Zborosky is still focused on getting better not only for himself but for the organization as a whole.

“It’s not bad, obviously having seven goals is pretty nice, but from a team standpoint [it hasn’t been] that good,” he said before a team practice on Wednesday afternoon. “Especially being a minus player, that’s not what people are looking for, so [I] can always improve.”

Despite his impres-

sive goal scoring numbers and point-per-game pace, Zborosky has a plus/minus of -3 so far this year. He has never ended a season in the WHL with a positive in that category, finishing his first three years as a -1, a -5 and most recently, last season, as a -9.

As a leader for the Ice, though, Zborosky is more concerned with his teammates than his stat sheet. Last Friday, Zborosky put in two goals in the team’s first win — against the Pats in his hometown of Regina — but his highlight of the night was seeing a rookie score the game winner.

“It felt great, especially [after] how we played and having Taphorn score that overtime winner,” he said. “[To have] a young guy like that score a goal to get our first win, that was great.”

He’s also been willing to do whatever it takes to get the team in the win column, including being separated from his fel-

low veteran teammate Matt Alfaro. Alfaro and Zborosky are the Ice’s longest serving players and started the year together on the first line, but were separated last week by coach Luke Pierce to give the team a more balanced offensive look.

“Obviously having seven goals is pretty nice, but from a team standpoint [my play hasn’t been] that good . . . being a minus player [is] not what people are looking for.”

Zak Zborosky Zborosky bought into the change one hundred percent and with the pair scoring a combined five goals over the weekend — while separated — his willingness to make sacrifices looks to be paying off.

“The change [was] good, it gives balance to the first two lines: [Alfaro] does his thing on his line, and I get to go mine on my line,” he said. “So far, it’s been working pretty good so I hope it continues.”

Although the Ice have now gotten over the hurdle of the year’s first win, there is still plenty of unfinished business for Zborosky, including giving the local Cranbrook crowd a win, as soon as possible.

“We’ve struggled a bit, and these fans are still supporting us and they’re always there showing up,” he said.

“We’ve got to give back to them [...] it would be awesome to get a win at home.”

Zborosky and the Ice will have two chances to do just that this weekend. They play the Regina Pats on Friday in a rematch of last week’s contest, and then the Red Deer Rebels on Saturday, on the day Zborosky will be celebrating his 20th birthday.

Council wishes to establish the revitalization tax exemption program by adopting the Kimberley Investment Incentive Program Bylaw No. 2558 to encourage commercial, industrial, and mixed commercial/residential investment to achieve a range of economic, social and environmental objectives.

The program allows for the granting of tax exemption, in accordance with the requirements of the Bylaw, to encourage investment in the designated investment incentive areas in support of the following objectives: • To enhance visual appeal and vitality; support business growth and to expand employment opportunities; and • To improve environmental condition of brownfield sites and to increase the supply of development-ready lands available to support growth in the local economy.

The program is intended to achieve the objectives by providing relief from the incremental increase in municipal portion of property taxes resulting from the increased property values after a commercial, industrial or mixed commercial/residential project is completed or by providing relief from the municipal portion of property taxes while a project involving environmental investigation or remediation activity is in progress. The total tax exemption must not exceed the total cost of the project.

The following types of projects may be eligible under the program: • New construction or alterations to an existing building resulting in a net increase of floor area; • Exterior improvements to an existing building involving all facades visible from a public street, road, lane, sidewalk or parking lot and subject to a development permit; or • A project involving work to investigate or remediate the environmental condition of a parcel with a project value of at least $10,000.

The maximum term of annual tax exemption for a qualifying project in a designated investment incentive area is: • A three year term for a project assessed as Class 6 – Business and Other; • A three year term for a project assessed with a split classification of Class 1 – Residential and Class 6 – Business and Other; • A five year term for a project assessed as Class 4 – Major Industry or Class 5 – Light Industry; or • A three year term for a project involving environmental investigation or remediation activity.

An owner of a parcel that wishes to qualify for a tax exemption must submit an application in accordance with the requirements set out in the bylaw.

The revitalization tax exemption program will apply to properties in the designated investment incentive areas shown in Schedules “A-1, A-2 or A-3” attached to the bylaw.

A copy of the proposed Kimberley Investment Incentive Program Bylaw No. 2558 and supporting documentation may be inspected at City Hall, 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm weekdays until Monday, October 24, 2015.

ALEXANDR A POSADZKI Canadian Press

TORONTO - Royal LePage CEO Phil Soper says house prices in Greater Vancouver grew 30.6 per cent year-overyear in the third quarter of the year, marking what may have been the real estate market’s “final hurrah.”

The real estate agency says the average house price in the region soared to $1.19 million in the threemonth period that ended Sept. 30, up from $914,705 during the same quarter last year.

The average price of a home in Greater Toronto rose to $693,154 over the third quarter, up 13.6 per cent compared to last year, when the average home price was $610,308.

In Edmonton, where the decline in oil prices has hurt the real estate market, the average cost of a home was down 3.1 per cent to $374,712 from $386,829 a year ago.

Royal LePage says its national house price composite - a figure based on 53 of the country’s largest real estate markets - showed that the average price of a home climbed 12 per cent from a year ago to $545,414 in the third quarter.

Soper says he expects that price growth in Vancouver will slow or even reverse in the months ahead as the ef-

fects of recent federal and provincial government rule changes begin to be felt.

In August, the B.C. government introduced a 15 per cent tax on foreigners purchasing homes in Vancouver.

Home sales in the city have been falling since then - with recently released figures indicating a 32.6 per cent drop in September compared to the same month last year - but prices have continued to rise.

“It often takes about six months ... for prices to catch up with a change in demand, either on the upside or the downside,” says Soper.

However, he adds that the trend of declining home sales started long before the introduction of the foreign buyer tax. Many wouldbe buyers have simply moved to the sidelines as prices have spiralled out of their reach, he says.

Soper says the new tax can’t be blamed as the sole cause if home prices begin to drop in the coming quarters but it certainly may be the catalyst.

“You take a lineman in professional football - a great, big human being - and they’re sort of teetering on their heels,” he says.

“A child comes along and pushes them on their chest and they topple over. The tax im-

pacted a very small group of people in a very narrow geographic and house price range in one city, yet it came at a time when the market was already cooling.

It represents that push in the chest to something that was already ready to change.”

As for new mortgage rules introduced by Ottawa earlier this month, Soper says fears associated with those changes have been exaggerated.

He predicts that prices in Ontario and many other parts of the country will continue to rise, in spite of new measures including a requirement that lenders apply stress tests to all mortgage borrowers.

“There will be some transactions taken out of play with the new regulations,” says Soper.

“It’s just a mathematical certainty. But I don’t think it will be enough to reverse the positive trend that we see across the country.”

Writing about the mortgage changes, chief economist Helmut Pastrick of Vancouver-based Central 1 Credit Union predicts the reaction of the market across the country will be felt quickly with monthly sales declining for about six months, estimating a drop in sales of 10 to 20 per cent. He also forecasts that national housing prices could slip by five to 10 per cent.

BC Treaty Commission aims for more First Nations deals C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - The head of the independent agency that facilitates treaty negotiations between Canada, B.C., and First Nations in the province says at least eight of 33 bands could be nearing agreements next year.

Celeste Haldane, the BC Treaty Commission’s acting chief commissioner, says 65 First Nations representing over half the bands in the province are participating in or have completed the treaty

process.

However, only eight bands have reached agreements since 2007, when the Tsawwassen First Nation ratified a deal that meant it was no longer subject to the federal Indian Act. The treaty more than doubled the size of the Tsawwassen reserve south of Vancouver and provided members with millions of dollars in economic benefits that allowed it to develop its land, which includes a mall that

opened this month showcasing indigenous art.

The latest agreement for the independent treaty commission came earlier this year.

The Nisga’a agreement in 2000 was the country’s first modern-day treaty and has served as a blueprint for the commission, but it was negotiated through a separate process.

Haldane says future negotiations are expected to be speedier because of a new

agreement endorsed in May by the federal and B.C. governments and the commission to expedite the process with set time frames for the latter stages of the treaty process.

She says she hopes next year’s provincial election will not affect the ongoing treaty process for First Nations moving through the six-stage process.

“We’re seeing a bulk of work happening right now in regards to getting these na-

tions to milestones,” she says. “There’s definitely a renewed commitment to ensuring that treaty negotiations are successful.”

Haldane has been acting as commissioner since April 2015 and said the agency, which was created in 1993, needs a leader at the helm.

Former Liberal cabinet minister George Abbott was set to take on the job but Premier Christy Clark and her cabinet cancelled his appointment.

WE PAY UNTIL 2017 WE’LL MAKE YOUR LEASE PAYMENTS UP TO $600 MONTHLY UNTIL 2017

The Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Ministry said the selection of a chief commissioner involves input from the federal and provincial governments, as well as the First Nations Summit.

It says in a statement it is also working with Ottawa and the summit to “clarify the role of the BC Treaty Commission to help ensure it continues to play an important role in achieving treaties.”

Folk singer Bob Dylan wins Nobel in literature ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate.

In the book worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent of a Supreme Court ruling, the Nobel judges declared Thursday that Dylan is not just a rock star but a poet of the very highest order.

Dylan, 75, becomes the first musician in the 115-year history of the Nobel to win the prize in literature. He was honoured for â&#x20AC;&#x153;having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.â&#x20AC;?

It is the ultimate ascension for the man who set off a lasting debate over whether lyrics, especially rock lyrics, can be regarded as art.

Dylan, who gave the world â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a Rolling Stone,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;?Blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Windâ&#x20AC;&#x153; and dozens of other standards, now finds himself on a list that includes Samuel Beckett, Toni Morrison and T.S. Eliot, whom Dylan referred to in his epic song â&#x20AC;?Desolation Row.â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulations to one of my favourite poets, Bob Dylan, on a well-deserved Nobel,â&#x20AC;? tweeted President Barack Obama, who in 2012 presented the singer-songwriter with a

Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Dylan rarely gives interviews, and a representative said the star had no immediate comment. He is on tour and was scheduled to play in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

The startling announcement out of Stockholm was met with both euphoria and dismay.

Many fans already quote Dylan as if he were Shakespeare, there are entire college courses and scholarly volumes devoted to his songs, and judges work Dylan quotations into their legal opinions all the time, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The times they are a-changingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.â&#x20AC;?

With this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nobel announcement, many people, especially Americans, werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scratching their heads and asking â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who?!â&#x20AC;? the way they did after hearing the names of such winners as Patrick Modiano and J.M.G. Le Clezio.

Others, though, lamented a lost moment for books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the ran-

cid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies,â&#x20AC;? wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainspottingâ&#x20AC;? novelist Irvine Welsh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I totally get the Nobel committee,â&#x20AC;? tweeted author Gary Shteyngart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading books is hard.â&#x20AC;?

The Vatican newspaper Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Osservatore Romano said some â&#x20AC;&#x153;real writersâ&#x20AC;? probably arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pleased.

But several leading authors praised the news.

Nobel laureate Toni Morrison said in a statement that she was pleased and that Dylan was â&#x20AC;&#x153;an impressive choice.â&#x20AC;? Salman Rushdie, who has written songs with U2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bono, tweeted that Dylan is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.

Great choice.â&#x20AC;? Perennial Nobel candidate Joyce Carol Oates tweeted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;his haunting music & lyrics have always seemed, in the deepest sense, literary.â&#x20AC;?

Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award also was welcomed by a venerable literary organization, the Academy of American Poets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize in literature acknowledges the importance of literatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oral tradition, and the fact that literature and poetry exists in culture in multiple modes,â&#x20AC;?

Legendary folk singer Bob Dylan was awarded with a Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday, Oct. 13. executive director Jennifer Benka said in a statement.

Critics can argue whether â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visions of Johannaâ&#x20AC;? is as literary as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waiting for Godot,â&#x20AC;? but Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stature among musicians is unchallenged. He is the most influential songwriter of his time, who brought a new depth, range and complexity to rock lyrics and freed Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and countless other artists to break out from the once-narrow boundaries of love and dance

songs.

Dylan already was the only rock star to receive a Pulitzer Prize (an honorary one), and is, in fact, an author, too: He was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle prize for his memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chronicles: Volume One.â&#x20AC;?

He is the first American to win the Nobel literature prize since Morrison in 1993, and his award probably hurts the chances of such older American writers as Philip Roth and Don DeLillo, since the Nobel

judges try to spread the honours around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather doubt Philip Roth and Don DeLillo wish theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d written â&#x20AC;?Mr. Tambourine Manâ&#x20AC;&#x153; vs.

AMERICAN PASTORAL and UNDERWORLD,â&#x20AC;? tweeted Roth biographer Blake Bailey, referring to acclaimed novels

by Roth and DeLillo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But sure, ok.â&#x20AC;?

Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life has been a hybrid of popular and literary influences. A native of Duluth, Minnesota, he worshipped Elvis Presley and James Dean as a boy, but also read voraciously and seemed to absorb virtually every style of American music.

His lyrics have referred to (and sometimes lifted from) the Bible, Civil War poetry and Herman Melville.

He has contended that his classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blood on the Tracksâ&#x20AC;? album was inspired by the stories of Anton Chekhov.

His songs can be snarling and accusatory (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idiot Wind,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;?Positive-

ly 4th Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x153;); apocalyptic (â&#x20AC;?A Hard Rainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A-Gonna Fallâ&#x20AC;&#x153;); dense and hallucinatory (â&#x20AC;?Desolation Rowâ&#x20AC;&#x153;); tender and wistful (â&#x20AC;?Visions of Johannaâ&#x20AC;&#x153;); bracingly topical (â&#x20AC;?Hurricaneâ&#x20AC;&#x153; and â&#x20AC;?Only a Pawn in Their Gameâ&#x20AC;&#x153;); and enigmatic and absurdist (â&#x20AC;?Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Againâ&#x20AC;&#x153;). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Windâ&#x20AC;? was an instant protest anthem for the 1960s, yet sounded as if it had been handed down through the oral tradition from another century, with such lines as â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many times must the cannon balls fly before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forever banned?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a Rolling Stone,â&#x20AC;? his takedown of a rich and pampered young woman forced to fend for herself, was pronounced the greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. The six-minute recording from 1965 is regarded as a landmark that shattered the notion a hit song had to be three minutes.

His career has been such a complicated pastiche of elusive, ever-changing styles that it took six actors - including Cate Blanchett - to portray him in the 2007 movie based on his life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Not There.â&#x20AC;? He won an Oscar in 2001 for the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things Have Changedâ&#x20AC;? and received a lifetime achievement award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1991.

Dylan is the most unorthodox Nobel literature prize winner since 1997, when the award went to Italian playwright Dario Fo, whose works some say also need to be performed to be fully appreciated. By a sad coincidence, Fo died Thursday at 90.

The literature award was the last of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nobel Prizes to be announced. The six awards will be handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1896.

Trump. But, he or she also loses five points if he abandons Trump at this late date after supporting him through everything else.

The old gutless wonder effect.

Trump has responded of course by turning his considerable ire on the Republicans, the party he is representing. He tweeted all week about the awful turncoat Republicans, calling Ryan ‘weak and ineffectual’. Sen. John McCain abandoned him and Trump again brought up his record as POW, saying he wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with McCain. Of course, given that Trump was given draft deferments because his feet hurt, when would he ever have been in a foxhole with anyone?

Trump has also been running his mouth at his rallies this week, telling his hungry base that if he doesn’t win, the election is rigged, and encouraging ‘observers’ to be at the polls to make sure there’s no monkey business. He also told a rally in Florida this week that Hillary Clinton was violating his personal space during the debate. Did you see the debate? Did you observe Mrs. Clinton facing the audience, answering a question while Trump lurked right behind her glaring at her? She invaded his space?!!!?

Oy. This is the inevitable conclusion to the Trump candidacy, a descent into lunacy unmatched in history. We all knew some kind of meltdown would happen, but this?

It’s a political spectacle the likes of which we have never seen. It’s a Trumpectacle! I can’t take my eyes off of it.

What we need instead is a theology of do that; it renews our spirit; it gives us an opportunity to reconnect with those who engagement. Deeply rooted in Scripture, are important to us. That, in itself, is reason such a theology empowers us to work in partnership with the Creator, loving and to be thankful.

But thanksgiving is also a time to reflect caring for creation.

2. Worship the God of creation. God is on and rediscover our role as caretakers of creation. The Bible calls this “stewardship”, revealed first as Creator, and at the end of and it’s a joyful task. We are to be people the Bible’s story as the gracious source of a who love creation, who care for creation as renewed creation. God is both the source and the goal of life. we care for ourselves.

When we rediscover our God–given I wonder, if we offered our praise within a role to be caretakers and lovers of creation, forest of trees with deer and moose, or we begin the work of healing, and what under a canopy of stars with a choir of could be more joyful than that?

The value of creation isn’t found in been living in a fantasy world for centuries, how useful it is to us. Creation is good just forgetting that we are woven into the fabric of creation.

Choose birds … or flowers … or wetlands … or sea turtles … or wind … or habitat preservation. The important thing is: Get started!

6. Start with your environmental address. A postal code is just so mail can find you. Your real address is a watershed … a place on the planet where you consume, pollute, garden, tend, and care. We all have to care for the whole planet, but we each must care especially for our own ecological neighborhood. You can start with the website http://wildsight.ca/programs/ know-your-watershed/, a project of the Columbia Basin Trust.

7. Advocate for creation everywhere.

Birds don’t get to vote. Neither do streams or salamanders. Corporations are given legal status and protection, but most forests aren’t. Huge insurance companies and banks are bailed out, but most rivers aren’t. If birds and soil and trees and wind are going to be given a voice in life–and– death decisions made by humans, then we will need to advocate on their behalf.

There’s so much more to be said and done, but this is a start. And these things are not simply a duty, but a true joy. The threats and urgency of the moment can be truly overwhelming, but the Spirit of creation that hovered over the surface of the waters in Genesis 1 is still alive, stirring hearts to rediscover a truly human way of living in God’sRUN beautiful world.

The stupidest war of all wars in the Middle East “They hit everything, hospitals, orphanages, schools,” Hisham al-Omeisy told The Guardian newspaper six months ago. “You live in constant fear that your kids’ school could be the next target.”

No, he’s not talking about the wicked Russians bombing the eastern side of Aleppo in Syria, which is stirring up so much synthetic indignation in Washington and London these days. He was talking about the air force of Saudi Arabia, that great friend of the West, bombing his friends and neighbours in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen.

The Saudi Arabian bombing campaign in Yemen is now eighteen months old, and is responsible for the great majority of the estimated 5,000 civilian fatal casualties in that time. The Saudi authorities swear that it wasn’t them every time there is an especially high death toll – “(our) forces have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians” is the familiar refrain – but they are the only side in the conflict that has aircraft.

A case in point is last Sunday’s strike on the Great Hall in Sana’a, a very large and distinctive building of no military importance whatever. Last Sunday it was crowded with hundred of people attending the funeral of Ali al-Rawishan, the father of the current interior minister, Galal al-Rawishan.

The younger al-Rawishan is the interior minister in the government that sits in the

capital, which is supported by “rebel” Houthi tribesmen from the north of Yemen and by the part of the army that still backs the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

His father’s funeral was therefore attended by many senior Houthi officials and supporters of the former president, as well as large numbers of other people.

By the sheerest coincidence, we are asked to believe, an air-strike accidentally hit the Great Hall at just the right time on just the right day to kill 150 people and wound 525, among whom there would probably have been a dozen or so “rebel” government officials.

This war is really about Saudi Arabia’s ability to Gwynne control Yemen’s government. The two neighbours Dyer have about the same population but Saudi Arabia is thirty times richer, so that should be easy.

Yemen’s long-ruling dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, was hostile to Saudi Arabia, so the latter took advantage of popular protests against him in 2011-12 (part of the “Arab Spring”) to engineer his replacement by a Saudi puppet, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.

Saleh then made an alliance with his former enemies, the Houthi tribes of northern Yemen, and struck back. When the rebel forces seized Sana’a in late 2014 and eventually drove Hadi out of the country, Saudi Arabia put together a “coalition” of conservative Arab states and launched the current military intervention to put

Hadi back in power.

The other motive behind this foolish war is the Saudi belief (or at least claim) that Iran, its great rival in the Gulf, is the secret power behind the rebel forces in Yemen. No doubt Iran does sympathise with the Yemeni rebels, since they are mostly fellow Shias, but for all the talk of “Iran-allied Houthis”, faithfully repeated in Western media, there is no evidence that Iran has given them either military or financial aid.

So, then, three conclusions. First, the Saudi-led coalition will not get its way in Yemen if it remains unwilling to put large numbers of troops on the ground – and it might not win even if it did. Second, the relentless bombing of civilians is largely due to the coalition’s frustration at the failure of its political strategy (although the sheer lack of useful military targets also plays a part).

And third, this is the stupidest of all the wars now being fought across the Middle East. Who runs Yemen is not a matter of vital strategic importance to Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi obsession with the Iranian “threat” is absurd.

Does the Washington foreign policy establishment finally understand all this?

Only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Old habits die hard, and it’s all too easy to condemn Russian air strikes in Syria while condoning similar Saudi air strikes in Yemen.

‘Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted’ TRISH BARTLE T T

Whether four weeks, twelve weeks, 38 weeks or newly born, the death of a baby is a loss to a mother. She may not have had a chance to hold the baby, cuddle and kiss it, but she knows it was there and now it isn’t.

From the moment a woman is told she is carrying a new life within her, she begins to plan and to dream of what life will be like with a new baby in the house.

Sure, it may be hectic and, at times, frustrating but this new person, this new member of the family will, by the grace of God, enrich the lives of everyone drawing them closer to each other and to God. The family is excited and the older children lean on mommy’s stomach to talk to their new brother or sister. All the children make plans and oldest brother feels a greater sense of responsibility now that he will be a big brother again.

A miscarriage crushes all those hopes, expectations and dreams. A miscarriage brings a sense of loss, disappointment and sadness. A miscarriage means the death of a child.

We lost our son, Nicholas, at

17 weeks gestation. It was a gut wrenching time of misery as I searched for blame, what had I done wrong, what could I have done differently? I wanted to change things to do my best to make sure it wouldn’t happen again.

Christ said “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”

Mourning for a loved one is an all consuming experience, and for a time, drowns out everything else. Mourning for a loved one shakes us out of our complacency and pettiness, becoming, however briefly, a light cutting through all the darkness of distractions and providing a new perspective on reality and the important things of life. Unfortunately, as grief subsides and becomes bearable, the light gradually dims and distractions once again become front and centre.

The Orthodox Church considers ‘blessed are they that mourn’, not to be so much about personal mourning as it is the daily mourning of our separation from God, from creation and from each other. The enemy will do anything to distract us from thinking about our

isolation from others by tempting us to fill our lives with fleeting pleasures and shiny things.

He knows the less I think about others, the further I will drift from God. Every personal loss I experience in this world is a reminder of my separation from God. When I face the loss of a loved one, part of my mourning includes regret for words spoken or not spoken, guilt for action taken or not, wishing I had loved more and spent more time and if there is still opportunity, making amends.

Every time I hurt someone whether in thought, word or deed, I increase the separation between me and God. Drawing closer to God means tending the garden of my heart, identifying the noxious weeds, adding spiritual nutrients to the soil and nurturing the seeds of righteousness by watering them with tears of mourning for past mistakes and unloving actions.

Mourning can lead to either paralyzing guilt or active change.

The more I consider my past, mourn my sins and determine to change, my relationships with others will heal.

Drawing closer to others means drawing closer to God, the source of life itself and so, in turn, will reconcile me with others whom I have already lost.

I know the miscarriage of my son was not my fault. It was a consequence of living in a world separated from God. After the miscarriage, I spent the night in the hospital. I dreamt about a little boy, about 18 months old, toddling towards me, a big grin on his face while I crouched down, my arms wide open waiting to give him a big hug. Behind him stood a man, smiling. I woke with my arms empty and tears filling my eyes. I mourned for my loss, but I was comforted, knowing my separation from my son would end....

But I continue to mourn for all those lost years.

Women and osteoporosis Osteoporosis is disease of the bones that occurs when a person loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both and can affect both men and women. But while millions of men suffer from osteoporosis, the vast majority of people with this potentially painful condition are women.

The outlook for African American women is not as bleak, as just 5 percent of such women age 50 and older have osteoporosis. And while 35 percent of African American women have low bone mass, recent research indicates that few African American women, even those who have risk factors for the disease, are screened for osteoporosis. Insisting on osteoporosis screening can help African American women determine their true risk for the disease.

While gender and aging are beyond women’s control, these are not the only risk factors that increase the chances women may develop low bone density or experience fractures and falls down the road. Osteoporosis Canada notes additional risk factors include: • if either parent has had a hip fracture • having had a prior fracture with minimal trauma • long-term (more than three months) use of glucocorticoid therapy, such as prednisone

• rheumatoid arthritis • current smoker • history of falls in the previous 12 months • vertebral fracture apparent on x-ray • high alcohol intake (three or more drinks per day) • weight loss greater than 10 percent since age 25 Despite the abundance of risk factors, the two most prominent of which are beyond women’s control, women are not helpless against osteoporosis. Among the many things women can do to protect their bones is exercise regularly and eat a well-balanced diet that includes enough calcium and vitamin D as well as plenty of fruits and vegetables. In addition, avoiding or quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption to no more than two to three drinks per day can protect bones and make them less vulnerable to breaks and the onset of osteoporosis.

Senior dating trends and tips The first Baby Boomers will be turning 70 in 2016, and this generation remains one of the most influential in the country and around the world. Scores of products and services are now marketed to seniors, many of whom remain as active and socially aware as they were in their youth.

One aspect of senior marketing that is booming is dating and relationship products.

Singles age 50 and older are increasingly relying on online dating sites and other methods to find love and companionship.

Dating is no longer kids’ play, and those who have been away from dating for some time may have to get reacquainted with the process in the modern age.

Consider online dating Data from Pew Research found one in two divorced or widowed seniors had remarried in 2013, and that trend figures to continue.

Many seniors are using online dating sites to find their new matches. While websites geared to dating make it easier to get in touch with fellow singles, the relative anonymity of the process can make it challenging to separate the truth from some self-promoting hype on dating profiles.

Begin by relying on dating sites that have been tested and recommended. One to try is the AARP dating site partnered with How About We. In addition to its simplicity and small financial commitment, the site caters to the over-50 crowd and is backed by the AARP name. It’s good for those looking for an activity partner as well as casual dating. Popular sites Match.com and eHarmony.com also boast high percentages of users age 50 and up.

Even after thorough consideration and conversation, online daters should

exercise caution when meeting someone online and then in person. Profiles aren’t always what they seem, and it’s easier to fudge the facts when initiating contact over the Internet.

Keep an open mind It’s easy to be preoccupied with the rigors of being an older adult and the responsibilities that still may rest on your shoulders. Part of the fun of dating when you were young likely had to do with throwing caution to the wind.

But some of those same carefree aspects remain true whether you’re dating at 17 or at 57. Laughter, fun, spontaneity, and the chance for some adventure are still the keys to making memorable dates.

Sometimes it’s who you know The old adage of it’s “who you know” and not “what you know” is applicable to dating.

If you are ready to jump into the dating world again, ask your close friends or family members if they know anyone who might be in n Finding love again is possible for seniors who get back into a similar situation. the dating scene.

Taking another stab at dating later in life can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but no matter how long it’s been since your last first date, some aspects of dating are the same as ever.

Galaxy count may now top 2 trillion MARCIA DUNN Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Thought the universe was crowded with 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies? Try 1 trillion or even 2 trillion galaxies and more.

That’s the latest census, reported Thursday.

An astrophysics professor at the University of Nottingham in England led the international team that came up with the mind-boggling estimate of 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. Professor Christopher Conselice said that represents a minimum tenfold increase.

In a phone interview, Conselice said he was surprised by the results.

He anticipated two or three times more galaxies, perhaps, but “10 is quite high” and it could prove to be even greater.

The scientists based

their galaxy head count on deep-space surveys already conducted by the Hubble Space Telescope and ground observatories. They turned the images into 3-D and used new mathematical models for the update.

“It boggles the mind that over 90 per cent of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied,” Conselice said in a statement. “Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we discover these galaxies with future generations of telescopes?”

Even scientists have trouble wrapping their minds around such huge numbers. According to Conselice, 2 trillion is roughly equivalent to the number of seconds in 1,000 average lifetimes.

The findings are being reported in Astrophysical Journal.

COMICS HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll perk up when you get an important call. Refuse to stand on ceremony. If you don’t hear from this person often, let him or her know how you feel. Communication flourishes between you and others, even when you discuss a serious matter.

Tonight: In the midst of a fun happening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make an effort toward a loved one. You can be very stubborn at times. Try to break this pattern, and this person might follow suit. Don’t undermine a decision you have made in the past. Schedule a massage, and treat yourself well. Tonight: Your mind is working overtime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll make the transition from handling serious matters to socializing and maximizing the happy moments. A partner who can be stern will do his or her best not to let negativity permeate the situation. Show this person your appreciation. Tonight:

Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll want to weigh the pros and cons of a work-related matter before dealing with an authority figure. You might feel as if someone is trying to get to the bottom of a problem, but has no answers as of yet.

Remain patient. Don’t lose your cool. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Weigh the pros and cons of each person’s views, and also look at the big picture. You will need to come to a decision based on your assessment. You have a way of opening others up with a positive attitude. You might be surprised by what you hear.

Tonight: Try a new place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be exhausted by everything that is going on. A personal matter might be dragging you down. The other party involved will try to lighten the mood; let this person know how much you appreciate his or her efforts. Tonight: Accept someone else’s invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are full of energy. Your abil-

Tundra

ity to make an impression on others remains high. How people see you is likely to change, as you seem more upbeat than you have been in the past. You might feel as if Lady Luck is riding on your shoulder. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Play it low-key. Make a list of what must be done. You could find that you are very busy crossing things off your to-do list. You might not want to go out right now. You’ll want to consider getting into money-saving mode for a splurge later. Tonight: Do your own thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be a good friend to a pal. This person can make you laugh, but you still might choose to maintain a serious stance. Perhaps you want more calmness. It appears as though a close loved one is ready for some fun. Clear your desk before you head out.

Tonight: Surprises happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Matters affecting your home will hold your attention. You might not have a choice about what happens, but don’t get

DEAR ANNIE

by Annie Lane

MARRIED TO A SNORER Dear Annie: Before marriage, I slept well every night. Since I’ve been married and my husband and I shared a home together for the first time, my sleep has suffered. The main culprit is my husband’s snoring.

When he snores at night, I wake up so often to poke him or tell him to change positions that we both wake up tired and resentful in the morning. At times, he has slept on the couch, but his own sleep suffered during those times, and I felt guilty. When we sleep together, I have to take sleeping pills just to be able to fall back to sleep. I spent last night on the couch myself just so I could catch some uninterrupted sleep.

The problem is that he gets sensitive about it when I bring it up, and he also is sad when I leave the room to go sleep elsewhere. It feels as if I have to either keep my mouth shut and suffer to avoid offending him or do what I need to do to sleep but risk having a sad husband on my hands. I just want us to have a “normal” marriage bed.

What do I do? I am tired all of the time. -Losing Sleep Dear Losing: You’re not alone. Thirteen percent of couples who live together sleep in separate beds every night, and half of them do so because of snoring. I assume, seeing as you’re writing to me, that your husband

propping his upper body and head up with pillows, sleeping on his side, etc. If that’s the case, his doctor should refer him to a sleep specialist. He may suffer from sleep apnea or another sleep disorder.

Dear Annie: What is going on with customer service? Every time I go to my bank, which is not a lot, the teller wants to know the details of how I spent my weekend. Or if I cash a check, one teller asks me what I am going to spend the money on, saying, “Hopefully

NEWS

Humane societies complain of being short-changed by governments C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The long-suffering agencies that look after animal welfare in Canada say they are being kept cooped up by a lack of government support forcing individual donors to take up the slack.

A new report from

the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies says 45 per cent of the $187.8 million in revenue collected by member agencies in 2014 came from donations - with 85 of those donations coming from individuals.

The report says that

Community Grant Applications Kimberley & District Community Foundation is inviting registered non-profit charitable organizations to apply for grants from the Kootenay Savings Community Fund and the KDCF Community Funds.

The purpose of these grants is to provide assistance with the funding of educational, cultural, environmental, or economic non profit projects that will be of assistance to the communities of Kimberley and area, including Skookumchuck, St. Mary’s, Ta Ta Creek, Meadowbrook, Wycliffe, and Wasa.

While all applications will be considered, preference will be given to those organizations that have not already received grants in 2015, and have an annual working budget of less than $50,000.

Please note these grants are NOT for ongoing operating costs (e.g. salaries, utilities).

Please contact Des McKay (Grants Committee Chair) at 250427-4008 or desmckay@shaw.ca for more information.

Application forms are available at Kimberley City Hall or can be downloaded from our web site at kimberleyfoundation.ca Deadline for applications is Friday, November 4, 2016.

while more than 40 per cent of humane societies and SPCAs are empowered to enforce provincial and federal animal protection and cruelty legislation, less than half their costs are covered by governments.

Of the government money that goes to humane societies, twothirds comes from municipalities, with the federal government contributing just one per cent.

The report says the country’s 125 humane societies and SPCAs employ about 2,000 people who are supported by about 26,000 volunteers.

In 2014, those groups spent $118.4 million to care for more than 278,000 animals.

That same year, the report said, municipalities contributed $25.6 million, provinces kicked in about $13 million and the federal gov-

ernment provided a paltry $271,000.

“We see clearly that financial support from provincial and federal levels of government is inadequate,” the report said.

As a result, agencies have to devote significant resources to fundraising, diverting money from the primary goal of sheltering and protecting animals and working on public education.

“The result is that the

responsibility of protecting animals in Canadian society is falling mainly to individual donors and the charities they support.”

In 2014, the agencies spent an estimated $10.8 million on animal protection or cruelty enforcement, but recouped only $4.5 million in government funding.

The societies said animal welfare, protection and enforce-

ment tie into a variety of public safety issues and should be a shared responsibility, especially since there are clear links between animal abuse and other forms of violence.

“The creation of a humane Canada depends upon a strong animal protection sector, a committed public and an engaged government,” the report concludes.

London zoo recaptures escaped gorilla: Police GREGORY K ATZ Associated Press

LONDON - A potentially dangerous incident involving an escaped gorilla ended at the London Zoo Thursday evening after visitors were briefly locked down in a cafeteria and heavily armed officers were summoned to help workers hunt down the animal, police said.

The gorilla was apparently subdued by a tranquilizer gun and re-

captured. There were no immediate reports of injuries to the public.

The zoo, inside Regent’s Park in a crowded London neighbourhood, houses at least seven gorillas in its popular Gorilla Kingdom attraction.

Eyewitnesses said the one that escaped appeared agitated and banged on the walls of its enclosure before it got out.

Jonny Briers, 22, told the Evening Standard

Environmental Monitoring Committee Annual Public Meeting Permit 107517

Sparwood Seniors Drop In Centre 101 Pine Avenue October 19, 2016 Open House 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Presentation with Q & A session 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

The Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC) was created as a requirement of the Environmental Management Act Permit 107517 for Teck’s steelmaking coal operations in the Elk Valley. It is an independent body with representation from the Government of B.C., Ktunaxa Nation Council, Teck, and an independent scientist expert, which provides technical and traditional knowledge input and advice on environmental monitoring for Permit 107517 and the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan.

Learn More About Environmental Monitoring The public is invited to the second annual Environmental Monitoring Committee public meeting on October 19 in Sparwood to learn more about the water quality monitoring and management work being undertaken relating to Teck’s Environmental Management Act Permit.

The annual meeting is an opportunity to ask questions of EMC members about water quality in the region, and the work the Committee has conducted over the past year.

A general open house will run from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m., followed by a presentation starting at 6:00 p.m.

Refreshments will be provided.

newspaper he observed a gorilla charging at the glass at the end of its enclosure, but that the glass didn’t break.

Briers said he heard a siren go off shortly afterward and saw zookeepers running from the scene and telling visitors to get inside.

“We went into the aquarium, and they locked the doors,” he said.

Witness Brad Evans told BBC Radio that he

was drinking coffee in the zoo cafeteria when zoo workers told visitors they were locked in and couldn’t leave because a gorilla had gotten out of its enclosure.

He said armed police quickly arrived and that customers were allowed to leave the zoo shortly later.

It wasn’t yet clear how the gorilla escaped and if it wandered from the zoo premises into the heavily populated urban neigh-

bourhood outside.

The London Zoo said only that it was “managing an incident.”

In May, a gorilla was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo after it grabbed a 4-year-old boy who had fallen into a moat.

In 2007, a 400-pound gorilla escaped from an enclosure and ran amok at a Rotterdam zoo in the Netherlands, biting one woman and dragging her around before he was finally subdued.

NEWS Years after devastation, historic town floods again JONATHAN DRE W Associated Press

TARBORO, N.C. Amanda Brown clutched a green folder with personal documents while she waited to speak to a FEMA representative along the banks of the river threatening to inundate her town.

She lives in Princeville, a historic town of about 2,000 that’s considered one of the oldest chartered by blacks in the U.S. It was devastated in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd’s torrential rains, and it has started flooding again after Hurricane Matthew.

Officials said water was flowing around a dike that protects the town, and aerial photos from Thursday show brown water surrounding many of homes and buildings. Still, fore-

casters and authorities are hopeful the river level will fall before causing a failure of the dike.

Brown and her fiance, David Corey, fear the worst for the mobile home where they live with their 7-year-old son.

“The water didn’t come up ‘til a day ago.

We’ve been watching: No water in Princeville, no water in Princeville.

Now, it’s coming,” she said, standing about 100 yards from an orange High Water sign and a cluster of law enforcement vehicles blocking a bridge into Princeville.

They don’t have flood or renters’ insurance, so they’re hoping FEMA can reimburse them for clothes or food or hotel accommodations.

Hurricane Matthew has caused flooding in areas all up and down the Eastern coast of the United States.

The flooding triggered by heavy rain from Matthew - which killed more than 500 people in Haiti - has left at least 35 dead in the U.S. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said

Thursday the number of power outages was down to about 55,000, from a high of nearly 900,000 when the storm hit last week. He said no new deaths have been reported, leaving the state’s death toll at 20.

But McCrory said flooding continues to be a major problem in poor areas in the eastern part of the state.

Theodore Rowe moved from Princeville to the outskirts of nearby Tarboro after Floyd

hit in 1999. He said his current neighbourhood hasn’t flooded, and he came down to the river to see how high it had risen.

“I used to live in Princeville when Floyd came. That’s why I left. I said I’d had enough of it,” said the retired U.S. Marine Corps drill sergeant who has lived in the area for about 30 years. “The last time this happened, it was two weeks before we could get back. When we got back, the house had made a 180 degree turn. It faced the street, but when we went back, the back of it was facing the street.”

Floyd roared ashore on Sept. 15, 1999, not long after another hurricane saturated the state. Two days later, the rising Tar River engulfed Princeville in

water that was 20 feet deep near the town hall.

Princeville’s history as one of the country’s first towns created by freed slaves in 1865 helped boost a rebuilding effort. The Federal Emergency Management Agency gave $26 million to Princeville’s residents and another $1.5 million to the town.

Brown grew up in the area, and her family’s home in Tarboro flooded after Floyd. She later moved into Princeville, figuring that kind of flooding was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

“I mean, they say every hundred years.

We’re not close to it. It hasn’t even been 20 years,” said Brown, who works at a CenturyLink call centre.

Hurricane relief effort in Haiti enters new phase BEN FOX BEN FINLEY Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - An international relief effort for victims of Hurricane Matthew entered a more advanced stage Thursday as a second U.S. military ship arrived off Haiti’s coast and U.N. convoys and non-government orga-

nizations began reaching more isolated communities.

Food, clean water and construction materials have begun pouring into the southwestern peninsula, though many people there still say they’ve seen little or no aid.

Those working to send everything from

water purification systems to building materials say the scope of the damage from Matthew and the difficulty reaching people create logistical challenges similar to those faced after the devastating earthquake that struck the crowded capital and surrounding areas in January 2010.

But while the death toll

from last week’s storm is in the hundreds, the Haitian government has said the earthquake killed more than 300,000.

“There’s just so much to do, not to make it more than the earthquake, but it’s so widespread, it’s everything across the board,” said Chris Bessey, the country representative for

Catholic Relief Services.

The Haitian government says more than 1.4 million people urgently need humanitarian assistance. The official death toll is 473, though local officials have reported figures suggesting it will eventually be higher, and the homes of more than 120,000 families were damaged or de-

stroyed. Many people across the ruggedly scenic peninsula have watched passing aid trucks in growing frustration.

On Thursday, USAID announced more than $12 million in additional humanitarian assistance to aid hurricane-stricken communities. David Harden,

head of humanitarian assistance for the U.S. agency, said the package of short-term relief for Haiti includes $7 million for food and $3 million for emergency relief supplies. USAID will also ship in 38 metric tons of chlorine to help provide clean water, a critical issue to fight a spike of cholera.

Visiting French PM says his country supports election of Clinton OTTAWA - France’s visiting prime minister says his country supports the election of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in next month’s U.S. presidential election.

Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau, however, wasn’t prepared to go anywhere near as far.

Integrative Support for Chemotherapy By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

The most effective and researched remedies that are supportive for most chemotherapy regimens are mistletoe extract, astragalus, reishi, melatonin and low dose naltrexone.

Mistletoe lectin injection therapy is scientifically proven to support chemo and radiation and it is prescribed by more than 80% of doctors in Germany and Switzerland in their hospitals and cancer clinics. Most of the treatments mentioned work to modulate the immune system so that it functions properly to assist the chemo in killing the cancer cells. Chemo drugs kill a constant percentage of cells in a tumor with every dose. When a drug kills 99.999% and the tumor burden is a mere billion cells, there will still be 10,000 surviving cells. It works out that only an infinite number of doses of the drug would kill the last cancer cell. Theoretically, chemo cannot ever cure a tumor, as even one cancer cell might regrow a tumor. Fortunately, in some cases the chemo weakens the cancers cells and the natural remedies modulate the immune system to turn it on to attack mode and clear up the remaining cancer.

Since chemotherapy drugs may interact with natural treatments it is extremely important to use these products only under the supervision of a health practitioner that is qualified and experienced in integrative cancer care. It is crucial to get the proper therapeutic agents at the right doses and timing.

the news conference on a pointed note: in a post-Brexit world, not signing the agreement would send a strong and unsavoury message.

“If Europe cannot manage to sign this agreement, that sends a very clear message not only to Europeans but to the whole world that Europe is choosing a path that is not productive either for its citizens or for the world,” he said.

“That would be a shame.”

The French prime minister and Trudeau travel to Montreal later today for a luncheon hosted by Quebec Pre-

mier Philippe Couillard, where the free trade deal is expected to be the main topic of discussion.

Senior Canadian government officials say that the event is designed to highlight the leading role Quebec played in the protracted negotiations for the trade pact with Europe’s 28 member countries.

“The visit will also allow us to promote greater trade and innovation flows - particularly though CETA - to help grow the middle class and strengthen our economies,” Trudeau said in a statement.

Climate change and the Canada-EU free trade deal have been singled out by Trudeau’s office as being among Canada’s top priorities.

Speaking to reporters at the French Embassy early Thursday, Valls reiterated France’s desire to see Canada send peacekeepers to West Africa to join the fight against Islamic militants.

The Trudeau government has said it will commit 600 peacekeepers to UN missions, and France has been pushing Canada hard to join the UN mission in West Africa.

One of the main interests and focus of my Naturopathic practice is supporting patients that are going through the conventional cancer treatments. My goal is to help reduce any side effects that may occur and to increase the effectiveness of these treatments using scientifically researched natural therapies. Chemotherapy is one of the three conventional treatment options that integrative Naturopathic cancer care can assist with in terms of lowering side effects and increasing efficacy. Chemotherapy works by attacking rapidly dividing cells in the body without distinguishing between cancer cells and healthy cells such as hair and mucosal cells leading to hair loss and gastrointestinal side effects. Chemo drugs typically produce an effect by causing oxidative damage to these cells and for this reason Oncologists were justifiably worried about the possibility that antioxidant supplementation during chemotherapy might prevent the necessary free radical formation by the chemo drugs. In theory, antioxidants should interfere with chemo because we are trying to oxidize the cancer to death. However, clinically it is clear that antioxidants actually increase the ability of the chemo drugs to kill cancer cells while reducing side effects. As it turns out, the uncontrolled reactive oxygen species formed in chemotherapy also lead to the formation of toxic aldehydes. These aldehydes stop the cancer cell’s movement through its cell cycle into the stage where cell death can begin. The usual net result of giving antioxidants with chemo is more cancer cells move into a death cycle than with the unsupported chemo drug alone.

This is known as the Conklin Hypothesis. It is true that some antioxidants such as curcumin from turmeric can interfere with certain chemotherapy drugs so please consult with a health care provider knowledgeable in nutritional supplementation prior to using any natural agents with chemotherapy. Examples of herbs and supplements that may interfere with and must be avoided during chemo include, but are not limited to: St. John’s Wort, grapefruit, garlic, rosemary, selenium, N-acetyl-cysteine, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and yohimbe.

clearly and strongly all my life around issues of sexual harassment.”

“I don’t need to make any further comment at this time,” he added.

Valls also said he expects Trudeau to be in Brussels on Oct. 27 to sign the Canada-EU free trade deal. Trudeau called the deal a “winwin” for both sides.

He also said it’s a “progressive agreement that heralds a new approach with regard to defending the rights of governments to legislate on the environment, the rights of workers, the issues that our constituents care about.”

Trudeau also ended

- was categorical on how he saw the November election: Clinton is the preferred choice.

Speaking in French, Valls said U.S. President Barack Obama was “elected by the world” and that “Trump is rejected by the world.”

Trudeau would only repeat his long-standing message that he will work with whomever the U.S. people choose as their president on Nov. 8.

On the allegations of sexual assault swirling around the Republican nominee, a stone-faced Trudeau - a self-avowed feminist - would only say that he “has stood

vember but also “has got to go to jail.” And his campaign is facing questions about ties to Russian interests accused of hacking Democratic groups, as well as the hacking of a top Clinton adviser’s emails.

For Trump, the cumulative effect appears to be a tumble in the battleground states he needs to win in November. What was already a narrow path to the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory is virtually indiscernible for Trump unless there’s a significant shake-up in the race between now and Nov. 8 Rather than trying to make up ground by shifting attention back to issues like trade that have energized Trump backers and could appeal to new voters, the Republican campaign appears to be moving swiftly to make Bill Clinton’s past a centerpiece of its campaign.

Trump supporters are also confronting Hil-

Bill Clinton never faced any criminal charges over the allegations, and a lawsuit over an alleged rape was dismissed. He did settle a lawsuit with one of the

LAS VEGAS - Already deeply divisive, America’s campaign for president is quickly devolving into an ugly fight over who has treated women worse: Donald Trump, whose White House bid is floundering, or former President Bill Clinton, who isn’t on the ballot.

Trump’s campaign is now signalling it will spend the election’s final month relitigating Bill Clinton’s marital affairs and unproven charges of sexual assault, as well as what Trump says is Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s role in intimidating the women who were involved. But Trump is a deeply imperfect messenger, given that almost everything he says is being overshadowed by a flood of allegations that he kissed and groped women without their consent.

Just four days ago, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway promoted a tweet from Clinton declaring that “every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” “‘Every’ the operative word here,” wrote Conway, whose campaign is now attacking the credibility of the new allegations against Trump.

The New York Times and the Palm Beach Post on Wednesday reported stories about three women who alleged Trump had inappropriately touched them.

Separately, a People Magazine reporter wrote a detailed first-person account of being attacked by Trump while interviewing the businessman and his wife, Melania Trump.

Trump on Thursday took to Twitter to denounce the Times story as a “total fabrication,” and to assert that the incident cited by People “did not happen.” His campaign threatened to sue.

The stories come less than a week after the publication of a 2005 recording in which the Republican nominee boasted of using his fame to kiss and grab women.

In an interview broadcast Thursday, the soap opera actress in the video said Trump’s comments were offensive.

But actress Arianne Zucker, on NBC’s “Today,” said she wasn’t shocked, given “that type of personality.” She said that’s “probably why it doesn’t mean a lot to me.”

The revelation of the video last Friday prompted many Republicans to withdraw their support for Trump - with some calling for him to drop out of the race though a handful have since switched back to supporting him.

Clinton adviser Jennifer Palmieri said the latest revelations match “everything we know about the way Donald Trump has treated women.”

Taken together, the stories about Trump and his retorts about Bill Clinton have plunged an already rancorous campaign to new lows. The real estate mogul has also aggressively charged that Hillary Clinton not only needs to be defeated in No-

women who claimed harassment.

The Trump campaign’s hope is to showcase the decades-old accusations to young voters, particularly women, who may not have been old enough to remember the controversies that dogged the Clintons in the 1990s. If the campaign can’t get them to vote for Trump, the hope is that they will stay home and depress turnout, which would likely hurt Democrats.

Former Trump senior adviser Michael Caputo said the businessman’s only way to win is to “go nuclear” on the Clintons.

“There’s no way Trump can do anything positive to earn back women,” Caputo said.

“The only way he can stave off the bleeding is to drag them into parity.”

But it’s unclear whether Trump’s strategy is even aimed at winning the election at this

point.

Increasingly, Trump’s campaign feels like an opportunity for longtime Clinton opponents to air decades worth of grievances about the Democratic power couple on the biggest stage in American politics.

Trump confidant and informal adviser Roger Stone has long encouraged Trump to make Bill Clinton’s alleged assaults and the way his wife treated his accusers a centerpiece of the campaign. Steve Bannon, the campaign’s chief executive, ran Breitbart News, a conservative website that eagerly promotes conspiracy theories about the Clintons.

Hillary Clinton, who is on pace to become America’s first female president if her lead holds, has tried to stay above the fray. She has yet to respond directly to Trump’s decision to resurrect accusations about her husband.

She is survived by her daughter Barb Koe and spouse, Daughter in-law Linda Crozier, sisiter Ruby and brother Bill, 6 grand children and 10 great grandchildern.

Katherine will be remembered for her kindness, big heart and generosity.

There will be an outdoor service held in the spring to celebrate Katieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life with her family.

Peter James Andrew Aakre Luberg

August 23, 1938 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 29, 2016 Peter left us to join the Lord and his beloved wife Melva. He lived his life and fought his illness on his own terms.

He will be very much missed by his three nieces; Teri, Vicky, Sandra, and their families. Peter was predeceased by his parents and his only sibling Elvina.

Ruth was born in Ravenscrag, Saskatchewan and grew up on the family farm in the Clear Valley district located southeast of the Cypress Hills in Saskatchewan. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family were part of the early pioneers who learned to live off the land and where she acquired her skills of gardening, canning, baking, knitting and sewing.

Ruth went to Normal School in Moose Jaw where she attained her teaching degree. She returned home to her first teaching position, a one room school (grades 1 to 6) in the North Bench district. Her day would start early because she would travel there by saddle horse, start the wood stove and get ready for her students. Her next posting was in Eastend, Saskatchewan where she met the love of her life, Leonard (Bud). They married in Eastend in 1949 and found their way to Marysville, BC to build a house and raise their family. Her love of teaching never left and she convinced Bud to build an addition on the house where she taught kindergarten for 15 years. In 1965 they bought property in Ta Ta Creek, built a house and moved there in 1966 where she again taught kindergarten for 7 years.

The passions of Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life were family, church, garden and camping. The family gatherings were always at their place where many beautiful meals were prepared. Church was a big part of Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. She was in charge of the Sunday School programs at both the Marysville and Wasa Community Churches. She took pride in the fact she was a Christian and she was ready to get to heaven.

Ruth loved the outdoors and her garden gave her many hours of pleasure. She loved camping and travelling with the Good Sam Club where she could play horseshoes, bocci and bean bag toss. She loved fishing on Lake Koocanusa and canning jars of kokanee.

Ruth was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Leonard; mother Ella Shufletoski, father Frank Shufletoski, brothers Lewis, Henry (Bun) and sister, Cecile Gallot. Left to mourn her passing are her sons Albert (Joan), Gerry (Lorna), Ronnie (Dorothy), Danny (Chitrika), accepted daughter Dawn Dovell (Pollok) as well as many grandkids and great grandkids.

At Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral service.

Condolences may be left for the family at www. markmemorial.com Mark Memorial Funeral Services in care of arrangements 9250) 426-4864.

Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family wish to thank all of the home care and nursing support as well as the doctors and nurses who cared for him while in the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Most importantly Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nieces would like to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank youâ&#x20AC;? to his Angel on earth Susan Wilde, who cared for him unfailingly.

UN General Assembly elects new secretary-general MICHAEL ASTOR Associated Press

The U.N. General Assembly elected Antonio Guterres on Thursday as the next secretary-general of the United Nations, a post he will take over on Jan. 1 at a time of global turmoil.

The 193 U.N. member states elected Guterres, a former Portuguese prime minister, by acclamation.

Assembly President Peter Thompson introduced the resolution to elect Gutteres, said members wanted it adopted by acclamation, and banged his gavel in approval as diplomats broke into applause.

Guterres “embodies the highest standards of competence, integrity and leadership,” Thompson said.

The 67-year-old Gu-

terres, who served as the U.N. refugee chief for 10 years until last December, was nominated by acclamation by the Security Council last week after its sixth informal poll. He topped all six polls, which included a total of 13 candidates seven women and six men.

Guterres’ selection disappointed many who had campaigned for the first woman or the first representative from an Eastern European country to lead the world body, but diplomats stressed they were voting for the best candidate regardless of other criteria.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who will leave the job on Dec. 31 after his second fiveyear term ends, referred to Guterres’ decade as

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Ban told the assembly that Guterres is “best known where it counts most, on the front lines of armed conflict and humanitarian suffering.”

In addition to “deep and solid political experience” including two terms as Portugal’s prime minister, Ban said, “his political instincts are those of the United Nations - co-operation for the common good and shared responsibility for people and the planet.”

Guterres will be the ninth secretary-general in the organization’s 71year history.

“He’ll take over on the first of January at a crucial time for the U.N., when it is facing huge challenges on peace

and security but also on international development and human rights.

And the world needs a strong United Nations and he is the best possible leader to build on the work of his predecessors to provide that leadership,” said Britain’s U.N. ambassador, Matthew Rycroft.

The secretary-general manages a staff of 44,000 people in addition to more than 100,000 peacekeepers.

The position’s responsibilities include dealing with issues such as human rights, refugees and climate change as well as fund raising for the world body’s various campaigns.

Associated Press writer Edith M. Lederer contributed to this report from the United Nations.
