October 16, 2014 was World Food Day. The event was established to increase awareness of world hunger and poverty and to inspire solutions for world change. In the Kimberley community, Gail McColl and Rev. Christine Dudley, on behalf of the Outreach Committee of Kimberley United Church, present Heather Smith of Kimberley’s Helping Hands Food Bank with 100 punch cards to be distributed to students in the families they serve. The students can then purchase food with their “McMunchies Cafeteria” (McKim Middle School) and “Selkirk Storm” (Selkirk Secondary School) cards.

McCormick releases economic development strategy

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Don McCormick wants to start a commu-nity discussion around economic development. Since the beginning of his campaign for Kim-berley’s Mayor’s seat, McCormick’s message has been that the city must rein in its spend-ing and generate new

business.Kimberley cannot

rely, he says, on contin-ually raising residential taxes year after year. New sources of tax money must be found.

“Instead, we need to spend what we have prudently, and generate new revenues. Increas-ing tourism helps busi-ness, but it doesn’t help city coffers. We can in-

crease civic revenues in only three ways – by at-tracting new businesses, by attracting more grants, and by attracting new residential devel-opment.”

McCormick has re-leased an economic de-velopment strategy that contains a list of 10 ideas he says will help Kim-berley and the sur-rounding area be-

come sustainable over the long term.

“Economic develop-ment is something that gets talked about at election time and then follow through is not al-ways so good,” he said. “At then end of the day, we need new ideas to drive towards.

“We do have the money” Mayor saysThe battle over

building demolition

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

As pointed out in the Daily Bulletin on Friday, October 17, 2014 Mayor Ron McRae and candidate for Mayor Don McCormick have a difference of opinion on

the demolition of the Bavarian Esso building on Wallinger Avenue.

While McCormick voted for the land swap that gave the Bavarian Esso property to the City, he did not vote in favour of drawing down funds from the Reserve Fund for its demolition this year.

Kimberley Rotary Club has been a long-time

supporter of youth

Submit ted by Ryan Sleik, diRec toR of

youth SeRviceS, RotaRy club of

kimbeRley

As Rotarians we strive to be examples and good representa-tives of our community. Granted, Rotary pops

up in all sorts of

places like Rotary Drive and Rotary Park, places that have been built and maintained to help the community share time and space together. Does that count as youth engagement? What do these places mean to us?

Many people might have had experience with Rotary Interna-tional Youth Exchange. I remember the ex-change students that lived with our family when I was growing up. I’m still friends with them now. How does that experience affect the community and

h o w d o e s that af-fect the lives of youth? A s k anyone

who has been on an ex-change and I’m sure you will have many dif-ferent and positive an-swers.

For more than 30 years, the Rotary Club of Kimberley has been fostering and support-ing leadership through the Rotary Youth Lead-ership Award (RYLA). Youth aged 18-25 from around the region are selected as leaders in their community and are given an all-expens-es paid opportunity to develop communica-tion, group dynamics, ethics, critical thinking, and more.

This year, with the help from a BC Hydro grant, the Club was for-tunate enough to send Matt Irvin and Dagne Toffolo as our two out-standing representa-tives from our commu-

nity. According to Matt, “the opportunities Ro-tary has facilitated for me have produced, life changing outcomes in multiple areas of my life.”

The future impact of the RYLA experience, a scholarship, or the sim-ple support of a kind act is immeasurable and hard to define. In writ-ing this article I strug-gled to put in words how Rotary is involved with youth in our area. I realized that our role is not just about scholar-ships, exchanges and community fundraisers. Sometimes it’s the in-tangible, hard-to-put-your-finger-on contri-butions that make the most difference.

Although we can’t support everything and we can’t be everywhere, our club is just one club

Spotlight on Youth Engagement

From Page 1“I believe that this strategy

can take us where we need to be. I don’t expect everything on my list to happen over-night, and I recognize that some of the ideas might not even materialize, but we have to start somewhere. A com-munity-wide discussion is a good place to begin.”

According to the strategy, light industrial development must be a priority for job cre-ation. “Kimberley can be at-tractive to certain businesses, but we need to start actively promoting the economic value we can offer light indus-try,” he says. “For example, we offer the lowest industrial tax rate in the valley, and we offer a tax hiatus for new building, but up to now the Kootenay business world has not re-sponded to these incentives — we need to be more aggres-sive at getting the word out.”

Other ideas on the list in-clude convincing businesses in the Clean-tech corridor: Biofuel makers, imaging and display companies, fuel cell manufacturers, portable power businesses, waste solutions, data centres, call centres, and cloud comput ing facilities that Kimberley

offers an ideal place to do business; and appealing to amenity migrants and val-ue-added wood product manufacturers. McCormick also suggests trying to lure lost government services back into the community.

Another area with tremen-dous potential is remote workers, he says.

“We have been talking about people who work in Fort MacMurray and the northern mines but there are

other opportunities as well, some very close to home.

“There are a tremendous number of people who choose to live in Kimberley and work in Cranbrook. That’s exactly the same as working in Fort MacMurray. It’s interesting how many people choose to do that.”

Another opportunity is the LNG development coming in the north, particularly in the Kitimat area.

“LNG development up there is going to produce thousands of jobs. There’s no way Kitimat can absorb that.”

McCormick says that the city needs to expand its defi-nition of “retail market.” He point out that the catchment area is not just the 6,000 peo-ple who live in Kimberley; it is the entire valley, especially the 34,000-person market in the Cranbrook-Kimberley re-gion. McCormick also be-lieves that Kimberley needs to let the world know it is open for business.

“This will require more di-rect communication than ever before, with key messag-es targeted to the federal and provincial governments and to broader business interests,” he said.

McCormick also wants to revive the city’s Economic Development Advisory Com-mittee (EDAC), which was abandoned several years ago. “Given a proper mandate, an economic development ‘think tank’ can be a terrific source of ideas, and it can provide valuable advisory in-sight and analysis to help in-form Kimberley’s economic development agenda.”

McCormick wants to hear from Kimberley residents who may have their own ideas about economic develop-ment opportunities.

“I hope my list of 10 po-tential economic develop-ment opportunities for Kim-berley and the surrounding area will help trigger a broad community-wide discussion on economic development. The ideas are presented as a starting point for discussion. I hope they will stimulate your thinking on this topic, and that you will contribute to this important discussion.”

The complete economic development strategy can be found at http://donmccor-mick.ca/economic-develop-ment or under the election 2014 heading at dailybulletin.ca

McCormick releases economic development strategy

“We offer the lowest industrial tax rate in the valley, and we offer a tax hiatus for new building,

but up to now the Kootenay business world

has not responded to these incentives — we

need to be more aggressive at getting the

word out.”

Dancer of the MonthSeptember 2014

Danielle OlsenDance classes are back in session at the Kootenay Dance Academy and that means it’s time to begin this year’s Dancer of the Month. This month that title goes to Danielle Olsen. Danielle is nine years old and attends McKim Middle School. Danielle and her family recently moved here from Leduc Alberta where Danielle participated in dance classes at Connectivity Dance. Danielle is presently in her six year of lessons. She began at the age of three with ballet and is now currently taking classes in tap, ballet and acro. In her spare time Danielle also enjoys playing with her dog Tyson and cat Missy, doing hairstyles and having fun with her sister Brenna. For her efforts she will receive gift certificates from Grubstake Pizza, Sole to Soul Esthetics Studio and The Old Bauernhause Restaurant. Danielle will also have the chance to be named “Dancer of the Year” at Kootenay Dance Academy’s year end production in May. With this title, the winner will receive a scholarship from Artistic Director Leslie Lindberg to help further their dance education. Congratulations Danielle!

From page 1“I was in support of the

land swap so we could get control of an eyesore,” Mc-Cormick told the Bulletin. “But we agreed at the time that we didn’t want taxpay-ers’ money used for the dem-olition. The money was sup-posed to come from the sale of the lots. We’ve only sold one lot so we’re spending money we don’t have. That’s exactly what we have to stop doing.”

McRae does not agree with those statements.

“Councillor McCormick has been on Council for three years yet his comments re-garding the demolition of the Esso building using Reserve Fund dollars reflect a total misunderstanding about what the Reserve Fund is,” McRae said. “The bottom line

is the Kimberley Reserve Fund was created from the proceeds of sale of lands. It was created originally from the sale of the ski hill. The use of Reserve funds is re-stricted to certain things. It is not created with taxpayer money. Yes, every dollar in the city is a taxpayer dollar. But tax proceeds do not go into the Reserve Fund.

“And we do have the money for the demolition of the building in the Reserve Fund.”

In fact McRae says this will not be the first time Council has voted to use Reserve Fund money for a building demolition.

In 2011, when Jim Ogilvie was still Mayor, Council voted to use funds from the Reserve to demolish the old Canadian Hotel property.

At the beginning of this year, the Reserve Fund stood at $434,887.34. Monies spent from the fund this year in-clude $102,000 for the Marys-ville Arena Ice Plant, $30,000 for a telephone system up-grade, $50,000 for a new Skid-steer, $10,000 on the Kimber-ley float, $19,000 for a new roof on the Cominco Gardens ma i nt e na n c e b u i l d i n g , $35,000 for roof repairs on the operations building, $15,000 for the new spray park and $53,000 for land purchase of 410 Deer Park Avenue and $33,000 for 430 Deer Park.

That leaves a balance of $88,902.62 not committed.

“We do have the money,” McRae said.

McCormick, McRae disagree on Bavarian Esso building


OpiniOn/EvEnts

“The price of oil will hit its floor and it will rise again,” President Nico-las Maduro assured Venezue-

lans, whose shaky economy depends criti-cally on a high oil price. “Venezuela will continue with its social plans. Venezuela will move forward.”

No it won’t, and neither will Russia, Iran, or Nigeria. The only major oil export-ers that are not in deep trou-ble are the Arab countries, whose governments have some room for manoeuvre because of low production costs, relatively small popula-tions, and big foreign curren-cy reserves.

Since June the cost of a barrel of Brent crude, the benchmark for world oil prices, has fallen by almost a quarter, from around $110 a barrel (where it was stuck for the past four years) to just above $80 a barrel. Last month, for the first time in decades, Nigeria exported no oil at all to the United States. Even at a big dis-count, Americans just don’t need it. And the main reason for all that is fracking.

American production has almost dou-bled in the past five years thanks to the new drilling technologies, and the United States overtook Russia last year to become the world’s largest producer of oil and gas combined. (Saudi Arabia comes a distant third.) With production soaring and world demand for oil stalling due to slow eco-nomic growth, a collapse in prices was in-evitable. The question is how far they will collapse, and for how long.

The answer is probably not much fur-ther, for the moment — but they could easily stay down in the $75-$85 range for a couple of years. The reason for that is that the “swing” producers (mostly Arab), who could theoretically push prices back up by cutting their own production, have clearly decided not to do so.

Their concern is for the long-term power of the OPEC cartel, which used to be strong enough to set the price of oil. That never will be true again unless they can drive the (mainly American) frackers who are causing the over-supply of oil out of business.

Saudi Arabia and its allies are hoping that a prolonged period when the price of

a barrel of oil is lower than the cost of getting that barrel out of the ground by fracking will ruin this new industry and bring back the Good Old Days. Dream on.

The Saudi strategy won’t work because

some 98 percent of US crude oil and con-densates has a break-even price of below $80 per barrel. Indeed, 82 percent of Amer-ican production would still be turning a profit at $60 per barrel.

Even with its massive foreign currency reserves, Saudi Arabia probably cannot afford to keep the oil price low enough for long enough to break the American frack-ers. (Its own break-even price for conven-tional oil is $93 per barrel.) And the Irani-ans, Nigerians, Venezuelans and Russians, who depend on oil revenues for at least half of their national budgets, will be screaming for higher prices before they face riots in the streets.

So this is not a transient event; it’s a revolution. The Organisation of Petro-leum-Exporting Countries (OPEC) came into its own when the United States ceased to be the dominant global producer in the early 1970s. With the re-emergence of the United States as the biggest producer, OPEC’s clout is bound to shrink — so oil prices will probably stay well below $100 a barrel for the foreseeable future.

This will be a great boon for countries that depend heavily on imported oil, like

India and China. It may eventually liberate the United States from its compulsion to intervene repeatedly in Middle Eastern disputes that are really none of its busi-ness. And it may be a disaster for repres-sive and/or corrupt regimes in countries like Russia (break-even price $105 per bar-rel), Nigeria ($119), Venezuela ($121) and Iran ($140).

It also means that worries about “peak oil”, and the underlying calculation that the world had only about forty years’ worth of proven oil reserves left, can be set aside for a while. We are already up to 53 years of reserves, and we are finding new oil faster than we are using existing reserves.

Of course, a broader view of our situa-tion would find little reason for rejoicing in all this. Our global civilisation depends on fossil fuels for 85 percent of its energy, and our annual emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are still rising.

Just another twenty-five years of that will deliver us to the “point of no return”: 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere. That would raise the aver-age global temperature by 2 degrees C, and trigger natural sources of warming that it will be impossible for us to turn off again. Runaway warming is not a happy prospect, so it is unseemly to celebrate the news that we have even more oil to burn – and cheaper oil, at that.

On the other hand, it would be entirely appropriate to celebrate the news that other new technologies may open up a better escape route from fossil fuels. Solar power, wind power, nuclear fission, and hydro power all have a role to play in that task, but the Holy Grail for half a century has been fusion power. It may be much closer than we thought.

road improvementSo Trevor, you say you hear a lot of talk

from municipal candidates who want to fix the roads but no numbers. (“Roads paved with good intentions,” Oct. 16).

Well let me give you a number — $1,003,603. That’s the amount that went into the City’s road budget in 2014, thanks to the dedicated road improvement tax of one per cent that came out of the 2013 tax levy and was added to the roads budget to push it over the $3 million mark this year.

That measure, by the way, was brought in by the previous Mayor Manjak adminis-tration, and although I wasn’t a fan of all the things that administration did, I say good on them for bringing in the dedicated road improvement tax which is made up of one per cent of the revenue of the previous year’s property tax increase.

And you know something, Trevor — roads are important to any municipality

and our roads would be in even worse condition than they are now if it wasn’t for our road improvement tax. That’s why this Councillor, if re-elected, is going to suggest that the road improvement tax be in-creased to 1.5 per cent in the 2015 fiscal year, keeping in mind that this is not a tax increase but a re-allocation of City spend-ing from other areas to roads.

Roads are important, Trevor. Don’t you ever forget it!

satire misconstruedApparently my satirical piece that ap-

peared in the Townsman (14 October) was taken seriously by some. I apologize for any difficulties that resulted for those who thought it was factual. It serves as an ex-ample of the dangers of believing every-

thing that appears in print.The true intent of the piece was to en-

courage folks to think twice before attach-ing labels to individuals running for elec-tion (or not) without checking the facts. The CLC has an enviable mission state-ment that seems quite reasonable to me. It is a society open to anyone and I have been a long time member. Although CLC stands for “Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook”, I sometimes think of it as “Clean Living Conservatives.”

Unfortunately, accusations and innu-endos are common at pre-election time. I believe most of us have a common desire to make Cranbrook a better place. Opin-ions and beliefs of how to accomplish this are diverse, and that can serve us well when working together.

“Hands up.” That famous com-mand is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career

criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfect-ly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legis-lature. It’s called the Cana-dian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for tax-payers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic log-ging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway build-ers.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman re-vealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Com-pany, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the dis-puted ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway com-panies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the

early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title sys-tem.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway develop-ment, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap

Books, 1990).Sanford recounts the fateful decision

of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal busi-ness and retired to his estate, Hatley Cas-tle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

Back in the ringBrandon Luke returns to boxing intent on remaining undefeated

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Amateur boxer Brandon Luke (right) works out with coach Bill Watson (left) last week in anticipation of his return to the ring this Saturday night.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Local amateur boxer Brandon Luke has al-ways liked to fight but his love for fisticuffs wasn’t always in the confines of a ring.

“I got in lots of trou-ble for [fighting],” Luke said prior to a workout at the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club last week. “I realized I could come here and I couldn’t get in trouble for it.

“I fell in love with the sport as soon as I started fighting. I loved the whole thing; training, getting in front of every-body and showing your skills.”

When he was in Grade 10, Luke began boxing with Eagles

coach Bill Watson be-fore eventually volun-teering his time as a coach and mentor for younger boxers. Now, one year out of high school, Luke is return-ing to the boxing ring for the first time in more than a year.

“He has overcome so much adversity to get where he is right now,” Watson said. “I’m just so proud of the effort he’s put in. He has been a really good role model for the kids down here and hopefully this con-tinues.”

Luke lost his focus after having a strong start to his amateur boxing career. Going undefeat-ed through his first six bouts, Luke was an up-and-comer in the Cana-

dian amateur boxing scene. Then the Eagles Boxing Club went into a summer shutdown and Luke went into summer party mode.

“I started partying and got lazy,” Luke said. “I got away from the sport a little bit.”

In October 2013, Luke discovered he had torn the superior labrum in one of his shoulders. After one fight last sea-son, he knew something was wrong and went in for an MRI where it was revealed surgery would be required to repair the damage.

Fast-forward one cal-endar year -- Luke is back in the gym doing what he loves most. He’s set to step back into the boxing ring in search of

his seventh victory this Saturday when the Cran-book Eagles Boxing Club and Freightliner Trucks present The Charity Box-ing Challenge.

“You want to stay un-beaten,” Luke said.

“[But] I never really think of my record. I usu-ally just focus on the fight that’s ahead of me. I take it fight by fight. What’s in the past is in the past.”

Luke is set to fight 23-year-old Taha Rizvi of Edmonton’s Cougar Boxing Club Edmonton.

“His heart is so big, it’s going to overcome any injury he has,” Wat-son said looking forward to Luke’s return Satur-day. “He fights through it. This won’t be any dif-ferent than in the past.

“He hates to lose. He’s got so much cour-age, and like I men-tioned, he has such a big heart. You can’t teach a kid those things.”

The Charity Chal-lenge Boxing Event be-

gins at 7 p.m. and fea-tures a variety of bouts between local and out-of-town amateur boxers prior to pitting local ce-lebrities against one an-other in the ring. The 2013 edition of the event

sold out, raising more than $20,000 for local families in need. Tickets are $35 and can be pur-chased by contacting Tom White (250-417-9019) or Bill Watson (250-919-7181).

CHL facing class-action lawsuitDonna Spencer

Canadian Press

A class action lawsuit launched against the Canadian Hockey League alleges its play-ers are underpaid and seeks millions in finan-cial compensation.

The suit claims play-ers have been paid less than the minimum wage required by law in their regions and asks for $180 million in back wages, overtime and va-cation pay, as well as punitive damages.

The CHL is the um-brella organization for the WHL, Ontario Hock-ey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

There are 60 teams in the CHL stretching from Victoria to Halifax as well as eight teams based in the United States. More than 1,300 players rang-ing from age 16 to 20 play in the CHL’s leagues, which comprise both privately owned and c o m m u n i t y - o w n e d clubs. Teams such as the Calgary Hitmen and Ed-monton Oil Kings are owned by the NHL team in their respective cities.

The lawsuit is the lat-est labour shot at major junior hockey’s. An at-tempt to unionize major junior players stalled in 2012, but Canada’s larg-est private sector union Unifor expressed inter-est in July in represent-

ing the players in the fu-ture.

A statement of claim filed last Friday in Ontar-io court alleges that if players want to partici-pate in these leagues, they must sign contracts paying them a weekly fee between $35 and $125 per week with no set hourly wage, overtime, vacation or holiday pay.

The lawsuit cites OHL players as exam-ples, saying they devote 35 to 40 hours to a team and receive $50 a week on average.

No allegations have been proven in court.

The crux of the law-suit isn’t whether play-ers are professional or amateur, but whether they are employees of their teams or “inde-pendent contractors.”

“The big question is whether the players are employees within the meaning of mini-mum-age legislation across the country ver-sus an independent contractor,” said Toron-to lawyer Ted Charney, who is representing the players. “If the judge hearing the class action decides they’re employ-ees, in my opinion, there is a breach of legislation across the country.”

CHL commissioner David Branch counters the players are neither.

“They’re amateur s t u d e n t - a t h l e t e s ,”

Branch said. “We’ll cer-tainly vigorously defend ourselves because this could not only in our view have a negative ef-fect on hockey in Cana-da, but through all sports in which amateur stu-dent-athletes are in-volved.”

Charney disagrees.“It’s hardly an ama-

teur league,” Charney said. “The league is in the business of making profits, which they do, significant profits off the services provided by the players who get basically zilch in terms of services.

“Normally an ama-teur athlete plays a sport for a university or a school and they have amateur standing and the school or university doesn’t compensate them for their services. Here they’re actually getting a fee. The prob-lem with the fee is it’s not minimum wage.”

Branch says the CHL paid out more than $6 million in post-second-ary scholarships to 579 players last season.

“We have an educa-tion program un-matched in amateur sport,” he said. “We be-lieve it’s the best schol-arship program in North America. We’ve invest-ed for the player in ex-tensive health and safe-ty programs, anti-dop-ing and drug education.

“We are into develop-

ing and executing a mental health program in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association to support our players. In addition to that while playing in our league, all their ex-

penses are covered — equipment, billeting, travel costs and so forth.”

Charney encouraged current and former play-ers to register on a web-site to be part of the class action, but acknowl-

edged current players may be afraid to do so.

“We anticipate now that the case has started, some of the players will register with us and give us their information which we will keep con-

fidential,” Charney said.“It’s very hard to par-

ticipate in a lawsuit against your employer while you’re still working for them. That’s an ele-ment of this case that will be a challenge.”

The Kootenay Ice re-turn to the land of living skies tonight when they visit the Prince Albert Raiders (4-6-0-0) at 7 p.m.

The Ice are coming off a 4-0 setback at the hands of the Victoria Royals Saturday night at Western Financial Place and sit 3-7-0-0 through 10 games to start the WHL regular season.

Forward Jaedon De-scheneau believes exe-cution is the key to suc-cess in Prince Albert.

“In the second peri-od [against Victoria Sat-urday night] there were times we broke the puck out the way we drew it up on the board before the game, but we only did that twice and it happened to be back-to-back shifts,” Deschene-au said Saturday. “If we execute on stuff like that, we’ll generate more offence. We’ll get on the rush and spend more time in their zone.”

The Ice have strug-

gled offensively to start the campaign, tallying 20 goals through 10 games, the second-low-est total in the WHL. De-scheneau has account-ed for 25 per cent of the team’s offence with five goals to his credit.

Only the Lethbridge Hurricanes have scored less than the Kootenay Ice, with 19 goals for.

The Raiders come into Tuesday’s tilt fresh off a 4-2 win over the Red Deer Rebels Satur-day night. The team will be without 20-year-old forward Dakota Conroy for the first time this season, after he left the club and was subse-quently suspended Monday afternoon.

“We are disappoint-ed with Dakota’s deci-sion but will respect it,” said Raiders general manager Bruno Camp-ese in a team release.

Conroy had tallied one goal and one assist through 10 games. His departure leaves centre Jayden Hart and de-fenceman Sawyer Lange

as the two remaining 20-year-olds on the Raiders roster.

The Ice will once again be without F Jon Martin who hurt himself after slamming into the boards Saturday night. The 19-year-old forward was in his second game back from an up-per-body injury sus-tained Oct. 4 in Calgary. Martin is expected to miss one to two weeks. Defenceman Rinat Va-liev is also one to two weeks from being ready as he continues to nurse

a lower-body injury. Forwards Tim Bozon

and Vince Loschiavo are listed as day-to-day. Bozon is fighting a low-er-body injury but trav-elled with the team.

Loschiavo is dealing with an upper-body in-jury he suffered Oct. 8 in Regina during the team’s last Saskatche-wan road trip.

Following tonight’s game in Prince Albert, the Ice move on to visit the Saskatoon Blades (3-7-0-0) Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You see that those close to you aren’t being realistic. Do you really want to burst their bubble? It might be best to let them realize on their own that perhaps a little bend in the road is necessary. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be thinking about someone close, and, as a result, you might have a difficult time trying to clear your mind. Focus on one task at a time. A brisk walk also might help. Avoid conversations that could slide you into reverie. Tonight: Where you want to be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be playful, but recognize that others might not be in the same mood. You inadvertently could cause someone to distance him- or herself from you. Note your feelings, but don’t act on them just yet. You will need to make amends before anything else happens. Tonight: Full of fun.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to someone else, but un-derstand that his or her sugges-tion might not hold the answer to a problem. You might want to go into your imagination to find the best path. Take some time to distance yourself from this issue first. Tonight: Follow the music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to rethink a sit-uation carefully involving funds and an agreement. You also might want to do some price comparison as you attempt to create stronger limits. Ask ques-tions to decide which direction to head in. Tonight: Get to the bottom of an issue. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Rethink a situation that in-volves an important decision more carefully. You also might be more confused than you re-alize about the financial impli-cations of a money agreement. Slow down if you feel uncom-fortable or unsure of yourself. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to have strong aspi-rations that often toss you into

limbo when facing decisions in-volving other people. You might want to go over your priorities once more. For the moment, your charm will smooth over any rough moments; use it wisely. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know when to pull back and do more observing. Think about how to handle a creative en-deavor or a long-desired goal. A child or new love interest could be playing into your thoughts as well. You’ll have some time be-fore acting. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up a discussion when surrounded by like-minded people. You will get feedback, which will inspire you even more. Try to remain grounded, and you will find the right route. Tonight: Where the crowds are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to a respected rela-tive. You might not like every word you hear, but you’ll see the wisdom in this person’s thoughts. Ask questions and confirm what you hear. You

might need to accept more re-sponsibility. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone wise to get feedback. Even if you de-cide not to take the advice, he or she will not be upset. This person understands more than you might realize. Remain alert and cautious with your financ-es. Know when to postpone a decision. Tonight: Revise the budget. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be willing to discuss a problem with a treasured friend or loved one. You often take a positive perspective of a situation that actually might be rather prob-lematic. This person knows how to let you see that your plan is less than realistic. Tonight: Visit over dinner. BORN TODAY TV personality Kim Kardashian (1980), actress Carrie Fisher (1956), chemist Alfred Nobel (1833) ***

Dear Annie: Before my father died, my hus-band and I promised him we would bring my mother to live with us after he was gone. Our home situation was perfect, although we needed to make a few renovations so Mom would be comfortable. Dad asked to approve the renovation plans, which he did, and then he said he’d give us $15,000 so we could fix the house. Unfortunately, we never put this in writing. After Dad died, we brought Mom to our home. We borrowed an additional $6,000 from her with the intent to pay her back. She paid us “rent” every month -- an amount less than half of what she had been paying at the assisted-living facility where she and Dad lived. Eight years later, Mom died. My sister and I each inherited half of Mom’s estate. My sis-ter thinks her share is $21,000. I told her that because most of Mom’s money went into the house, she will get paid when the house is sold. (It’s on the market.) Am I obligated to give my sister $21,000 when $15,000 of this money was a gift to us to fix the house? Her husband has stopped speaking to us and has badmouthed us to family and friends. I don’t know what to do, but it doesn’t seem fair to give her more than we end up with. -- We Took Care of Mom Dear Took Care: What are the terms of the will? You cannot change them simply because they may be unfair. If the will says your sister gets half of everything, that’s what she gets. If it is unclear, consult the attorney who drew it up. And please decide whether the money is more important than your re-lationship with your sister, because that is what it boils down to. You sound like a caring and kind daughter, but you have illustrated why it is so important to put these arrange-ments in writing. Dear Annie: Years ago, I read about a cure for seasickness. It said to put an aspirin in your belly button and Scotch tape over it. Some said the cure worked even without the aspirin. I’ve tried it both ways and haven’t been seasick in 20 years. I even started using duct tape because when I sweat, the Scotch tape comes off. It works great. Before this, I had tried pills, bracelets and a patch, and nothing worked. My wife never had a problem with seasick-ness, so she wouldn’t try this. On our last cruise, the seas were very rough. At break-fast, she was sick as a dog and had to go back to bed. I, with my duct tape over my navel, was perfectly fine. The problem is, nobody believes me. They think I’m playing a joke on them. Would it be possible for you to find out? It could help a lot of people enjoy the water. -- J. Dear J.: We cannot verify whether this home remedy works, although a quick In-ternet search turned up a great many peo-ple who think it does. It doesn’t seem to be harmful, so if it works for you, great. (We’re sure our readers have plenty of other sugges-tions.) Dear Annie: This is for “Wondering,” who cheated on his wife and now she asks ques-tions that he finds “annoying.” Let me fill him in a little on the other side. I was in your wife’s shoes, and I forgave my husband but wanted some questions answered. His refusal to do so was the only major issue we fought about. I can no longer get the answers because he died suddenly a few years ago. And it’s the one thing that still sits in the back of my mind and mars my memories of him. So, “Wondering,” please find a way to an-swer your wife’s questions so the cheating can truly recede into the background. You never know when it will be too late. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Newspapers are not a medium but media available for

everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments . This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.SOURCE: NADBANK JOURNAL SEPT/08

Smart newspapers today recognize

they can run a very protable business by providing relevant, enter ta ining and innovative ideas and content.“Let’s not miss the point, either”, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. “Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas. But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country. That’s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. There’s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.” In fact, three-quarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data.“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Dai ly newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the abi l i ty to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”“Major pubishers and media buyers agree—strong readership gures are testament to improved product.

These events happen each fall, but it never hurts to remind motorists about paying closer attention behind the wheel as conditions change. That’s especially true today, as people become more reliant on their smartphones and staying in

constant communication. John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety, says too many drivers automatically reach for their phone when they hear it ring or a text message comes through. It’s a bad habit that needs to be broken. “Getting people to leave their phone alone while driving will go a long way to making our roads safer, and in reducing claims costs and insurance rates,” Dickinson says. An Ipsos Reid survey commissioned by ICBC

shows that 84 per cent of B.C. drivers who own cell phones agree that texting while driving is risky, yet 25 per cent admit to doing it. That’s why, among the other driving tips being laid out this fall - including slowing down in school zones and stopping for school buses when the lights are flashing - the provincial government and ICBC have stepped up their campaign against distracted driving. Drivers are four times more likely to crash if they’re using their phone while driving, says Todd Stone, B.C.’s Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. Statistics show distracted driving is the second-leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., behind impaired driving. On average, 88 people are killed each year in our province due to driver distractions. “We are asking drivers to leave their phones

alone and stay focused on the road. A text or a call is not worth risking your life over,” says Stone. ICBC is also distributing decals for motorists to display on their vehicles as a statement to others that they don’t use their cellphone while driving. They’re also meant to encourage other drivers to make the same pledge. That said, simply staying off the phone while driving isn’t enough to keep our roads safe. Motorists also need to watch for pedestrians who may be distracted by their smartphones or other electronic devices as they cross the street. That includes children as they travel to and from school. While parents are encouraged to teach their children about safety on the roads, including remove headphones and putting away smartphones to stay alert when crossing the street, it doesn’t always happen.

On average in B.C., five child pedestrians aged five to 18 are killed and 290 injured in 270 car crashes every year, ICBC says using data from 2009 to 2013. While distracted driving isn’t always the cause, it’s certainly a risk. That’s why drivers need to be diligent. That means yielding to pedestrians: It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s the law. The best advice always is to drive defensively. Play your part in keeping our roads safe. For more safe driving tips and information visit icbc.com.

Fire Fighter Locals from across B.C. join together for a photo at the groundbreaking ceremony for the B.C. Burn Fund Centre. Cranbrook Fire Fighter and Burn Fund Board of Director Murray Robertson is in attendance.

F o r t h e to w n s m a nCranbrook Fire and

Emergency Services are proud to announce that on Sept 17th, 2014 the British Columbia Professional Fire Fight-ers Burn Fund had its official ground break-ing for the Burn Fund Centre.

The Burn Fund Cen-tre will be located at Main St and 23rd Ave. in Vancouver; it will provide a home for the Burn Fund Head Office, a meeting place for Burn Survivors and will include 8 suites for Burn and Trauma Sur-vivors and their fami-

lies. It has been over ten

years since the project planning began and with a price tag of over 13 million dollars it has taken some serious commitment from all of the fire fighters in British Columbia.

With a more than

generous donation of 2.5 million dollars to the Burn Fund from the Jack and Darlene Poole foundation we are within one million dol-lars of having the proj-ect fully funded.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November of this year

and the building should be completed within a year. It is a very excit-ing time for the Burn Fund and we would like to thank everyone and all of the local businesses that have donated directly or in-directly to such a great cause.
