    Bulletin Editor

    All Kimberley resi-dents are being asked to take the Live 5-2-1-0 challenge from Healthy Kimberley.

    Healthy Kimberley is a project of the East Kootenay Division of Family Practices A GP For Me initiative.

    The Live 5-2-1-0 chal-lenge is a simple con-cept. Eat five or more vegetables or fruits every day; no more than two hours of screen time a day; play actively at least one hour a day; and choose healthy drink op-tions with zero sweet-ened drinks.

    Erna Jensen, who is driving the challenge in Kimberley, says the screen time of two hours is recreational screen

    time, those who work with computers can con-trol how much time they spend on screen after work.

    Recently Marysville kindergarten students have challenged Kim-berleys Mayor and Council to live the 5-2-1-0 lifestyle until the end of November and the chal-lenge was accepted on Thursday when Mayor Don McCormick, and councillors Kent Good-win and Nigel Kitto visit-ed the classes to accept.

    SKI SEASON BEGINS

    City to keep a sharp eye on

    water usage as crucial snow-making begins

    C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

    As reported in yes-terdays Bulletin, the Kimberley Alpine Re-sort will begin snow-making operations as the temperature is be-coming cool enough.

    However, Matt Mo-steller, VP of Marketing for RCR said that the resort was sensitive to the low water situation.

    It was reported at Council last week that with no appreciable fall rains, spill over the Mark Creek dam was still only three centi-metres.

    Mayor Don McCor-mick says its a balanc-ing act between low water and the need to get the ski season off to a good start, given that KAR is vital to the win-ter economy in Kim-berley.

    The resort will be making snow but with some limitations, the Mayor says.

    We did a test on Tuesday with use of the snow guns, and the dam level dropped about one centimetre, he said. This proved to be acceptable under the current circum-stances, so Mike Fox (the citys Manager of Operations) has ap-proved RCR to make snow. It is critical that we get the ski season off to a good start, so the City is doing all it can to support those efforts.

    However, an upper limit of 170 litres per second has been estab-lished. McCormick says the draw-down on the reservoir will be measured each day.

    If the 170 litres/second is exceeded, the snow making will have to stop, he said. Under the current water conditions, this is a reasonable com-promise that benefits RCR without putting our water supply in jeopardy.

    On Oct. 31, Jeff Cohen (Albany, New York), Duncan Autrey (Oakland, California), Laura Hummelle Kimberley) and David Savage (Cranbrook) met at St. Eugene for a strategy session, as part of the Centre of Excellence in Collaborative Leadership and Change Management. Savage noted they have been building the collaborative global initiative for the past 15 months and have offered local leaders and business people the opportunity to build skills, build networks and collaborate on priority economic development projects. Along with meetings including other Collaborative Global Initiative Council members from the Netherlands, Spain and the U.S., they had two meetings last week in Calgary to work on the development of several con-ferences for 2016 including one at Oxford University in May 2016 and one in Vancouver in October 2016. Savage noted they are a home grown and international driving change collaboratively.

    Has your grad class joined in yet?

    Even though the Grad Class Chal-lenge Campaign has only just offi-cially started, a number of Grad Class members have already started to send in donations.

    On-line donations have already being made by: The Class of 59, The Class of 64, The Class of 65, The Class

    of 69, The Class of 75 and The Class of 92. Thanks to those members of the above Grad Classes for leading the way.

    A number of other classes are working on getting the message out to their fellow grads and encouraging them to join in this campaign to pro-vide a much needed facility for pres-ent and future youngsters in Kimber-ley. A couple of grad classes are also corresponding with their grad class-

    mates to plan fundraising events to help the Kimberley Rotary Club reach its $300,000 fundraising goal for the Splash Park by next summer.

    To find details on how you can help, go to: http://www.kimberley-rotary.org/splashpark .

    You can then follow links for up-dates and more information or make a secure on-line donation. If you prefer, you can make a donation by cheque to the Rotary Club of Kim-

    berley, BC Trust Foundation and drop it off at the Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Kimberley or mail it to the Kimberley Rotary Club, Box 13, Kimberley, BC, V1A 2Y5. All dona-tions of $50.00 or more will receive a CRA approved tax receipt so please provide a return address. Future graduates are also welcome to join in the challenge .

    On completion of this project a Wall of Recognition will be built

    beside the Splash Park to honour: Associates ($500.00 or more), Part-ners ($5,000.00 or more) or Major Donors ($50,000.00 or more). Your donation will help to put your Grad Class on the Wall. There are already two Grad classes in the Associate category and one in the Partner cate-gory and several more classes who are presently working hard to make the list.

    For the Bulletin

    In the photo to the right, pianist Arne Sahlen holds up new-looking copies of very old sheet music stamped with the name Josephine Radcliffe. These items make powerful testament that the impact of war reached into every home and family, every town and city, he says. He will present The Call to Arms: Music of and between World Wars at Kimberley United Church near Centennial Hall this Saturday No-vember 7 at *2:00* pm (note exact time). Ad-mission is by donation.

    Sahlen will play music of both World Wars, the Depression, and more - much of it inscribed Josephine Radcliffe Suart or Wendy Weir Panattoni. Mrs. Suart was one of Kimberleys dedicated local piano teachers, and served as pia-nist-organist at the Unit-ed Church for forty years. Her fine upright piano now graces its upper hall and will be used for Saturdays pro-gram. Wendy Panattoni studied with Mrs. Suart

    on the way to earning professional diplomas. She then carried on teaching here for de-cades, took active part in local arts organizing, and co-founded the Symphony of the Koote-nays.

    Helping the Panat-toni estate to sell her pi-anos and distribute music, said Sahlen, I found many historic songs signed or stamped with their names. Theres a Picture in my Old Kit Bag, Tipperary, Remember Nurse Cavell, The King Will Be Proud of Canada, and others. 100 years ago, people awoke day by day not knowing how the war to end all wars would end, if theyd see their fighting relatives again, or that a crushing Depression and another World War lay in wait. The later world events produced their own music, sombre, serious and silly in turn: Broth-er, Can You Spare a Dime?, Well Meet Again, Do Your Ears Hang Low? and so on.

    Sahlen is also the ac-companist this same weekend for soprano Savannah Bisset, daugh-

    ter of the Bisset Singers conductor, in concerts to take place in Inver-mere, Cranbrook and

    Trail . Not quite two places at once - though I have tried at times! People who know me ....

    he laughs. But busy or not, I felt compelled by the loop of history that brings our storied musicians music back to this piano that was central to both their

    lives. He will share his trademark stories about the music and the peo-ple, and is still on the hunt for information about musicians of our regions rich cultural

    past; contact [email protected], 250-427-2159, or phone/text 250-540-4242.

    PASSES SUDDENLY

    The whole town was shocked and saddened Tuesday to learn of the sud-den passing of Wallace Lloyd, retired Kimberley merchant and business-man. Taken ill on Monday at his home, Mr. Lloyd was taken to hospital where he passed away Tuesday.

    In his 71st year, Mr. Lloyd was born at Shrews-bury, Shropshire, England. In 1911 he came to Calgary, where he was a traveller for Ashdown Hardware Com-pany. He was married in Calgary in 1912. In 1920 the family moved to Kelowna and in 1925 to Kimberley where Mr. Lloyd was a part-ner in the Kimberley Hard-ware. In 1928 he opened Lloyds Hardware in the present Woogmans build-ing, moving across the street to its present site the following year. In 1945 he sold his business to his son, Aubrey, and to Murray Gar-den.

    Keenly interested in civic business, Mr. Lloyd served on the City Council for many years.

    He was also a keen fish-erman and he and Mrs. Lloyd had spent much time at their cabin at St. Marys lake. Mrs. Lloyd died in April 1953.

    Surviving are his son Aubrey J.W. of Kimberley and Marysville, one daugh-ter Mrs. Dorothy Taylor of Cranbrook and a brother, Clement and sister Mrs. Louise Watson, both of Shrewsbury. There are also five grandchildren.

    Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov.8, from United Church, Kimberley, Rev. F.A. McPhee will officiate and interment will be in the family plot.

    The Way it WasBARRY COULTER

    An architectural and heritage gem of the East Kootenay has been through some tough times, but is proving to be tough in its own right.

    The venerable Elko Station, sitting at the corner of Van Horne Street and King Street in Cranbrook, has a new lease of life and is moving towards reju-venation, thanks to the efforts of the Cran-brook Archives Muse-ums and Landmarks Foundation (CAMAL).

    Mike Balfour, on the board of CAMAL, said the Elko station a Crowsnest B type is the only one of its kind left in North America. It was assembled in 1901, from a kit shipped to Elko, and moved to Cranbrook in 1987.

    The CPR surveyed its towns along the way to determine what kind of station was needed, Balfour said. They said Elko needed a Class B each piece was numbered and sent out, and assem-bled there in 1901.

    The 2,000 square foot building was moved the 54 miles Cranbrook 86 years later, by road, itself quite an operation. Balfour said the high-way was closed to traf-fic at the time, and power lines had to be removed to make room. The station was set on the existing foundation of another ancient building at its current location.

    Once in Cranbrook, it served as the first headquarters for the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (now the Canadian History Cen-tre), and subsequently as office space. It sat empty since 2001.

    The low point for the building came in 2012, when it was set

    on fire. What saved the build-ing was the insulation, Balfour said. Still, extensive fire dam-age occurred to the outdoor siding and windows, and the smoke damage was also quite severe, especially on the sec-ond floor. Pigeons were able to occupy the premises after the fire, and the guano was thick.

    CAMAL started its exten-sive repair operation shortly after the fire. The damaged fir siding had to be replaced a sawmill in Gold Creek made it and repainted. Sixteen win-dows were replaced.

    Its been a challenge, be-cause the infrastructure is very old, Balfour said.Were trying to restore to as close to the original as possible, not just repair. The hardwood floors and the trim in the original freight room and waiting area must all be matched up when restored but the wood has changed colour with age, for example. The building has had to be rewired, the fixtures

    checked and changed.Upstairs, where the original

    living quarters and office were, the smoke damaged carpet must be ripped out the walls repaired. New security and telephones systems are due to be installed.

    But the restoration and re-pair of the station is just part of a flourishing of the area around it. A new boardwalk beside the station was installed, with the City of Cranbrook providing landscaping and the Cran-brook Rotary Club providing boards and labour (the Rotary Club as installed the interpre-tive signage beside the newly repainted vintage locomotive by the station). And the Cran-brook Garden Club recently planted a tulip garden next door.

    And the plan is to install 10 floodlights around the outside of the station, for security pur-poses, to help prevent inci-dents like the 2012 fire.

    Some of the work has been

    done by local contractors, who gave us a good deal, Balfour said. But most of the work has been done by volunteers and museum staff.

    Private donations to help with the work have also come in from all over the region.

    Balfour said the longterm goal is to finish the work April is the target date and lease the space out to a client who will use the building and respect its important heritage status.

    Charlotte Murray, Execu-tive Director of the Canadian History Centre, said the station is an important aspect of local history Elko, Cranbrook and the whole region.We want to find someone who will treat it like the jewel it is, she added.

    Wed love to see the com-munity continue to be in-volved, and to come out and volunteer, Balfour said. And wed love to talk about the sta-tion to anybody who wants more information.

    Have you heard about the concept called alternative giving? Ive writ-ten about it before, and Im de-lighted to say that its a growing phenome-non. The heart of it is that people give a donation to a charity in someones name instead of giving that person a physical gift.

    Why would you do that? I remember an episode of Seinfeld in which George was angry to receive a donation to charity in-stead of an actual gift. He made up his own nonexis-tent charity and handed out fake donations to other people so he could save money on gifts.

    There are many reasons why someone would do this. For some, its a protest against the increasing commercialization of life. Its a statement against our con-sumerist culture. We already have enough stuff and we dont need more; alterna-tive giving allows the giver to still recog-nize the occasion (whether it be Christ-mas, a birthday or an anniversary) and do some good. Perhaps there is a cause or an organization dear to the receivers heart; that person might truly appreciate the giv-ers thoughtfulness in supporting that ef-fort. When someone makes an alternative gift, its really a double gift: a gift to the person being honoured and a gift to the charity and the people that really need the help.

    We are becoming more and more faith-ful consumers. Yes, I know faithfulness is religious language. I use it deliberately. Someone has recently called consumer-

    ism the fastest growing religion in North America. There is some truth to that.

    Alternative Giving allows us to fight against the sellabration of Christmas. We can stop just exchanging things with oth-ers who already have too much stuff and give our money where it can have a real benefit.

    This kind of generous giving is also good for us. Studies have shown that altru-

    ism has positive effects on our health. One of the bestknown studies was conducted 40 years ago by psychiatrist George Vail-lant. He observed the health of a group of Har-vard graduates for 30 years. When they reached their

    fifties, he compared their health with the attitudes they lived by. His conclusion was that an altruistic lifestyle is a critical com-ponent of mental health. (Adaptation to Life, 1977).

    Weve been doing this at Christ Church since 2006. It was initiated by the children of our Sunday School for a project to raise funds for goats in rural Rwanda.

    This year, we are sponsoring a project right here in Cranbrook. We are proud to partner with Street Angels, who provide amazing services for many atrisk street people. They provide hot meals six days a week; counselling of all kinds to people who are in need; access to a nurse practi-tioner and other support staff for different kinds of services; training which has re-sulted in long term employment for many; laundry and shower facilities; and a place

    where street people know they are wel-comed and loved.

    Street Angels depends entirely on do-nations and funding proposals to fulfill their mandate to provide services to peo-ple in our area, to our neighbours and fel-low citizens. We hope to raise enough money through this alternative giving project to help them buy suitable equip-ment to continue to provide this import-ant service.

    Because we do it through Christ Church, I can guarantee that every penny which is donated will go directly to this project. There are absolutely no adminis-tration fees. Gifts in any amount will be gratefully received.

    Generous people in Cranbrook and elsewhere have gotten involved in alterna-tive giving projects in the past. This is a wonderful way for all of us to look beyond ourselves, and help those who are in greater need than we are.

    If you would like to be part of this proj-ect, please contact Christ Church at (250) 426-2644 or email us at [email protected]. We will provide you with a gift card so you can let people know youve made a dona-tion in their name. You will also receive a tax receipt for your charitable gift.

    John Templeton once said, Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we can-not stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.

    Letters from the Front: James Milne

    Letters to the editorNovember 11Here it is, barely into No-

    vember and big business is already at it, inundating us with everything Christmas. Stores are in full Christmas bloom, rapidly pushing the Halloween stuff off the shelves so that they may take advantage of every possible second of commercialism and greed.

    Myself, I can take Christ-mas or leave it. However, it

    does bother me a lot when it starts on November 1 or even earlier. I mean, how many stu-pid Christmas movies are out there for us to watch every day of the week. Its more than a little ridiculous, thats for sure.

    That is not the reason why I wrote this letter.

    There is another day that happens before Christmas and it is a far more important day by a long way. That is Re-membrance Day. It is Novem-ber 11, the same day it has

    been since I was a kid a long time ago but a lot of people dont seem to care about it. That is so sad. It should take priority over any other day at this time of year. If someone has to tell you why that day is so important then you should give your head a shake.

    It bothers me to see such an important day put on the back burner for something as foolish and absurd as Christ-mas. If the business people of our local communities put

    Christmas to the side until at least November 12, and pro-moted the day we were all granted our rights and free-doms, as much as they do for a day well over a month away, things just might be a little better at this time of year.

    Just something to think about! Please do it and sup-port your local Legion, espe-cially at this time of year.

    Lloyd FreestoneKimberley

    T he following are excerpts from the letters of James Milne sent to friends from 1914 - 1919 and published in the Cranbrook Herald. He enlisted in Cranbrook in 1914 with the 12th Battalion, 1st Contingent. he remained on the front lines for the majority of the war.

    Nov. 17, 1914: How are you getting on? I suppose you want to know all about our trip over the pond. To begin with, it was very long and tiresome. We were sent to Plymouth owing to the presence of German submarines in the Channel near Southampton. Plymouth is a very pretty place almost as pretty as Cranbrook girls. Three of us got a car. Of course we overstayed our passes a few hours but didnt get caught at it. We landed at camp and just got settled when it started to rain and it has been raining ever since. Well, the 1911 drill book is all out of gear now by the arrival of the 1914 and I hear that there is another in press that is different again.

    Would you believe it, I was lucky enough to be appointed platoon sergeant. I did not ex-pect it. This being the first day they didnt do a thing but give us six hours drill. I enjoyed it very much. We had a four mile march in the afternoon. I think I will take a trip to London about Thursday as I want to spend all my money before I go to the front as I would hate to be found dead with money on me.

    Dec. 17, 1914: We are quar-tered in comfortable quarters and no complaint to make ex-cept that we are all anxious to get to the front. The men are all tired of review drill and want get on the firing line.

    Dec. 24, 1914: I am indebt-ed to your Royal Highness for a lengthy and interesting diary on the doings in Cranbrook since I left that burg. I might state that I am suffering from

    The Military Cross and Bar awarded for distinguished and mer-itorious service in battle.

    an attack of tonsillitis and gen-eral debility, due to the fact that I was detailed for a 24 hour guard. I am somewhat better now. Had a nice glass of stout a while ago which you know is good for a cold. Of course it is hard medicine for me to take; nevertheless I must down it and take my medicine. It dont look as though the war would be over in a day. Pleased to see that Cranbrook is still sending out her share of volunteers.

    Tell Tisdale that if he isnt too busy he might answer my letters and also interview the B.C. government and Col. Mackey as to why we have never received our pay from them. Im pleased to note that the ladies all send their love so comforting it is rather cheerful as we are slightly iso-lated from the fair sex here. Do not forget to write any time you can. I will try to keep you post-ed as to my whereabouts.

    Apr.1, 1915: I havent been doing much myself lately but expect I will have to get busy pretty soon now. I have no idea when we will be sent to France, but I suppose we will get there on time as I dont think Kaiser Bill is licked yet. After we get through with the Kaiser we will return and start something there.

    July 8, 1915: It is quite evi-dent we dont know the game but we have one advantage, the longer the Bulldog fights the harder he fights, so let us hope that the spirit of the Bulldog Breed still lives in this genera-tion and that there will be no surrender until we reach Ber-lin, or till there is nothing left to surrender. How are chances to get a few shells from Cran-brook? Its a shame to have men out at the front at the mercy of the foe with nothing to reply will, but I think that will be rectified soon now. Hope

    you dont let the town die a natural death while we are away. Quite a number of my pals who went to the front have tried to stop bullets, with the result that they are back here in hospital and quite a few under the sod in France. One fellow reported here this morning who had been shot in the posterior. I think the sniper must have been behind the lines because a Canadian shouldnt get shot in the rear.

    Dec. 20, 1917: The air in the Hun cellars is not very good and by the way would you mind building me a dug-out some place around there as I wont know how to walk around a house when I get back and, besides, someone is apt to slam a door and in that case you might find me under the bed or down the cellar. Well, this is a great old life sometimes and on the whole it is not too bad if you live the life on the lines of the old proverb: sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, it is the only sys-tem. Give my best to all, except slackers.

    January 30, 1919 [three months following the German surrender]: Im stationed with my battalion at Bonn [Germa-ny] not far from Cologne. It is a very nice place. The people appear to be well dressed but the butcher shops and grocery stores are rather empty. I went deer hunting with two other officers on one of the Kaisers ex-preserves. We comman-deered two ex-German sol-diers as beaters. The deer were plentiful and we had some good sport.

    James Milne earned the Mil-

    itary Cross and added a Bar to the cross during the final days of the war. During his four years of combat he rose from the rank of Sergeant to Cap-tain. Following the war he re-turned to Cranbrook and took up his former job with Pop Wordens City Transfer Com-pany until his retirement in 1943. James Milne died in 1952, age 73, one of the many thousands whose sacrifice was great but, both amazingly and thankfully, not ultimate.

    For Kootenay Ice winger Austin Wellsby, the answer has always been short and sweet -- just keep it simple.

    Its the simple ap-proach that has landed the 18-year-old native of Chilliwack on the top line alongside captain Luke Philp and veteran winger Zak Zborosky.

    According to Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Wellsbys willingness to follow the game plan and play within his role earned him the opportunity he has since run with.

    The mindset was trying to find a guy we could use as an example of who was following the game plan and doing some of the things wed asked, Pierce said Thursday. Austin, right from day one, he was working really hard. He was being simple. He was following the plans. You want to set an exam-ple that you get reward-ed for doing things the right way. His reward has been playing with two pretty good players.

    The reason why hes continued to stay there is he isnt changing who he is or what he does.

    He is doing a lot of the dirty work. Hes being responsibleHe hasnt changed his game and hell continue to have success if he has that mentality.

    Since arriving along-side Philp and Zbo-rosky, the 6-foot-3 soph-omore is maintaining that simple mantra as he etches out a perma-nent role with two of the WHLs most dangerous goal scorers.

    Theyre obviously really special players, Wellsby said Thursday. Throughout practice and games, Ive learned a lot from them, wheth-er its little pointers in practice -- theyre al-ways looking for me to improve and I want to do the same.

    Im still trying to continue to play my game -- whether its playing hard on the forecheck or continuing to win battles -- I hav-ent tried to change my game too much.

    Though his linemates might be doing most of the finishing in and around the net, Wellsby is finding his way in that regard as well -- Satur-day against the Seattle Thunderbirds, the hard-working winger registered his second multi-point game of the season and his career, tallying a power-play goal and an assist.

    Last season, the plucky winger managed one lone goal. This sea-son, the former Chilli-wack Bruin has already compiled two goals and six points in 17 games.

    While the start to the

    2015-16 campaign has been a rosy one for the affable Wellsby, last sea-son left both him and others wondering what role there might be for him moving forward.

    As a rookie under former head coach Ryan McGill, Wellsby skated in 35 games and didnt necessarily see a ton of ice time in the games he did dress for.

    Not the easiest way to start ones Western Hockey League career.

    Coming into this year, I wasnt sure what to expect, Wellsby said. Ive definitely found a groove coming in. Id like to continue to pro-duce like I have been.

    The point totals might not be earth shat-tering, but they provide strong evidence for the work Wellsby has done in developing his game since being provided with a clean slate cour-tesy the arrival of a new coaching staff.

    He came ready to work and compete right away, Pierce said of Wellsby.

    It was strictly start from scratch and Austin took advantage of that.

    He knew he was going to get a fresh start and he found ways to pique our interest in the style of player he is.

    Hes very, very coachable. Thats the biggest thing. Im prob-ably just as critical on him as on anyone else, but its the way that he takes the criticism. Hes never pouty. Hes a very positive person and he understands when he needs to be better.

    For the time being, Wellsby will continue to skate alongside Philp and Zborosky, and thats welcome news as far as the Ice captain is con-cerned.

    Wellsbys been play-

    ing great, Philp said Thursday. Hes been using his body, getting in on the forecheck and opening up some space for me and Z to do our thing.

    Hes got a lot more confidence in himself. Hes always had the ability to make plays and hes starting to do that more and more.

    Philp, Zborosky and Wellsby will continue leading the offense Fri-day night when the Koo-tenay Ice host the Medi-cine Hat Tigers at West-ern Financial Place.

    The Ice sit four points back of the Tigers in the WHLs Central Division, so, while still early in the

    season, Friday night represents a big game for Pierces crew.

    Medicine Hat moves the puck real quick, they use the net really well. They kind of protect themselves that way, Pierce said. Weve got to be doing our best to turn the game a little more choppy. Lots of starts and stops. Killing puck momentum.

    If we can find ways to stay in the offensive zone, its going to keep their offense away from us.

    Puck drop between the Ice and Tigers is slat-ed for 7 p.m. Friday.

    Notes: The Ice are hoping D Cale Fleury

    will be ready this week-end, whether that be Friday against Medi-cine Hat or Saturday when Kootenay travels to Lethbridge. Fleury has been out since the first week of October after sustaining an up-per-body injury The Junior A playings rights for Ice D Tyler King, who has yet to play this season while he recov-ers from off-season knee surgery, were dealt from the Melville Millionaires to the Es-tevan Bruins of the Sas-katchewan Junior Hockey League Thurs-day afternoon

    Cranbrook native Lee dealt from Giants to Oil KingsTaylor rocc a

    Cranbrook native Payton Lee is headed east.

    Thursday afternoon, the 19-year-old net-minder was dealt from the WHLs Vancovuer Gi-ants to the Edmonton Oil Kings in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

    We think this will be a welcome change for

    Payton that will allow him to have success, said Scott Bonner, Gi-ants executive vice pres-ident and general man-ager, in a team release.

    In 140 games with the Giants, Lee amassed

    a record of 52-71-5-4 with a 3.39 goals-against average and .885 save percentage.

    For the Oil Kings, the move came to help fill a void left with placement of goaltender Alec Dil-lon on long-term injury reserve.

    With Alec expected out of the lineup for a longer term, we wanted to make a move to add

    depth and experience alongside Patrick Dea, said Randy Hansch, general manager of the Oil Kings, in a team re-lease. Patrick has played well for us and we think that adding

    Payton will be a nice compliment as a tan-dem in our net.

    Lee became expend-able in Vancouver after the Giants acquired 20-year-old puckstop-per Daniel Wapple from the Regina Pats earlier in the day.

    Lee is expected to join the Oil Kings Friday when they visit the Cal-gary Hitmen.

    SUBMITTED

    I shiver as the memo-ries flood my disturbed mind and remind me of the time that I served in the war. It was a cold and lonely time, but most dis-turbing was the air: it reeked of blood, human waste and fear. Many of my fellow soldiers, unable to subside their fears for a second longer, were shak-ing uncontrollably. These men were now waiting for death, although they fought with admirable courage, their eyes re-vealed the lifelessness within them. They were like ghosts; just a hollow image. On many occasions the sound of guns and bombs became unbear-able and it was almost im-possible to stay emotional-

    ly intact. Our survival was dependent on one thing: our capacity to remember that our victory would allow both present and fu-ture generations to be free. Having taken part in this struggle, and realizing the ultimate sacrifices made by those soldiers, I am for-ever grateful. Our societys freedom today, on Novem-ber 11, 2003, did not come without a cost. Many men and women lost their lives, and it is for this cause that we show our gratitude re-spectfully each year on Re-membrance Day.

    As members of the Ca-nadian Armed Forces, we were proud, honorable he-roes. My friends and I were enlisted only because we voluntarily lied about our ages. Non of us thought twice about what we

    would be sacrificing. It seemed our duty to protect our nation and all that it stood for. The day we were finally called upon by the military is a day I will never forget. Bracing my-self for the worst, I said my goodbyes and ensured that I would have an ever lasting image of my loved ones forever engraved within my brain. As we boarded the train, our spirits were lifted as all of our neighbors and rela-tives cheered proudly. We were highly respected among our citizens, this we knew and greatly ap-preciated. Although, as we later discovered this could not compensate for the terrors lying in the jour-neys we expected to em-bark upon.

    In our first mission fifty

    of the men within my regi-ment were killed, includ-ing my best friend. He was shot down by a machine gun; I held him in my arms until his last breath. It was incomprehensible that I was expected to continue shooting my enemies, knowing that I might be killing someones best friend, or husband. We learned to survive by de-sensitizing ourselves; our duty was to protect our-selves from the enemy. Death became a part of our daily life; it was a reali-ty that we were forced to cope with. The letters sent to me by loved ones moti-vated me to survive. Their support, optimism and deep appreciation were constant reminders of all that I had to live for. As for my friends that I was

    forced to bury informally in foreign soil I will never break my promise to them; their efforts will never be forgotten or unappreciat-ed.

    It seems to me with the passing of time people for-get the sacrifices and bru-tality my fellow soldiers once endeared. War is not a part of lives today in the Western parts of the world. People take for granted many components of our present lifestyle; as Cana-dians we have many privi-leges: the right to freedom of speech, thought and re-ligious belief. For this free-dom, we have to thank the many soldiers who fought heroically in the many bat-tles they engaged in. They sacrificed their lives so that we could live ours. It is imperative that we take

    the time, on November 11, to pay our respects to those brave souls.

    They have the right to know that their many sac-rifices have not gone un-noticed. Even to this day: November 11, 2003, as in-dividuals belonging to a great nation, it is our re-sponsibility to ensure that these soldiers are respect-ed and appreciated for the many generations to come.

    A tear rolls down my cheek as my eyes become fixated on the graves that lie within Flanders fields. Within the confinements of this cemetery lay many restless souls. I am over-come with deep sorrow as I think of all that these sol-diers were forced to leave behind. This field, now

    green with grass and gray with headstones, was once as red as hell. I can recall the numerous bodies that once lay strewn lifeless in every direction. I stare at their graves now; in the many years that have passed their bodies have shifted from above the ground to many feet below it. I cannot help but won-der if they rest in peace, for many died with much grief and suffering. I can still hear them calling out for their mothers, wishing desperately for anyone to ease their pain. I was as helpless then as I am now. All I can do is pray for them, and continue to keep my promise: to never let their bravery and cou-rageousness be forgotten in the depths of time.

    The 100th anniversary of In Flanders FieldsOne of the

    worlds most beloved poems

    was written one hundred years ago

    C AROLYN GR ANT

    We memorized it as school children. We hear it recited at yearly Remembrance Day cer-emonies. And now the iconic war poem In Flanders Fields cele-brates its 100th birth-day.

    According to the government of Canada website, In Flanders Fields was written on May 3, 1915 by Lieu-tenant-Colonel John McCrae during the Sec-ond Battle of Ypres the first time gas was used in modern war-fare.

    In September 1914, McCrae volunteered to fight in the First World War. McCrae deployed overseas as with Cana-das first contingent as the second-in-com-mand and brigade sur-geon of Morrisons 1st Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery. As bri-gade-surgeon he at-tended to hundreds of wounded and dying Ca-nadian soldiers.

    Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae gunner, doctor, and poet was moved to write In Flan-ders Fields on May 3, 1915 after a friend was killed in the midst of the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium. The poem was published in En-glands Punch maga-zine on December 8, that same year. In Flan-ders Fields went on to symbolize the sacrifices

    Lt.-Col. John McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields, one of the most memorable poems in Canadian history. Two commemorative coins will mark the 100th anniversary of the poem.

    of all who were fighting in the First World War and later, became the reflection of remem-brance for all wars.

    This past summer, the federal cabinet ap-proved the creation of c o m m e m o r a t i v e toonies and two 25-cent coins depicting Lt.-Col. John McCrae writing In Flanders Fields to mark the poems 100th anniversary.

    It is one of the First World Wars most rec-ognized poems and an integral part of Canadi-an culture, the Royal Canadian Mint explains in a notice published in the Canada Gazette.

    The poems striking imagery has served to solidify both the poem and the poppy as en-during and powerful symbols of remem-brance for all Canadi-

    As more and more of the traditional sponsors of Kimberleys Remembrance Day service are no longer operating such as the Legion Branch and the Air Cadet Squadron its up to the community to keep it going.

    And the community is doing just that. This years service will go at the same time and place as every year the Cenotaph at 11 a.m.

    The parade will muster in front of the Elks Hall on

    Howard Street at 10:30 a.m. and march off through the Platzl at 10:45 a.m. Any groups such as Boy Scouts or Girl Guides who wish to march should meet at that time.

    The Kimberley Fire De-partment will be there, along with Kimberley RCMP Detachment mem-bers, the Kimberley Pipe Band and the Kimberley Community Band. The Elks Club will provide the colour guard.

    After the service the community is invited for lunch at Harvey Nash Hall at the Elks Club.
