Daily Bulletin

The fog over the last few days in Kimberley/Cranbrook had more then a few people wishing they could see the sun. But most inconvenienced

by the dense fog have been those trying to get in, or out, of the area via airplane.

The Canadian Rockies In-ternational Airport had most flights cancelled since last

Tuesday when the heavy fog rolled in.

The good news for travel-lers is that with the ceiling ris-ing, flights began to arrive and depart from CRI on Sunday.

By noon Sunday, both Air Canada flights 7233 from Cal-gary and 8213 from Vancouver had arrived in Cranbrook, the former about an hour and a half late.

The next film in the Rockies Film Series, put on by Cranbrook Sun-rise Rotary Club, docu-ments background vo-calists of famous sing-ers. That film is 20 Feet From Stardom and it will be shown Nov. 7 at the Columbia Theatre.

Darryl Bishop, film committee chairperson for the Cranbrook Sun-rise Rotary Club, was excited about the new show.

“It is a movie about backup singers from the last number of years,” Bishop explained. “They stand 20 feet from cen-tre stage and they belt out the hits with Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jag-ger or whomever else. We know their voices on the records that we hear, but we don’t know who they are.”

The movie profiles these people, some of which choose to be there and like, Bishop said, but some would like to be 20 feet forward in the starring role.

“We bring in films in association of partner-ship with the Toronto International Film Festi-val. We bring in films that wouldn’t ordinarily screen in Cranbrook,” he said.

The film series has been running for almost a decade and reception is usually good with 120 people coming out on average. The films are screened at the Colum-bia Theatre. The series consists of four film screenings – one each in October, November, January and February. The series complements the Rockies Film Festi-val going into its 16th year this spring.

Funds raised go into Sunrise Rotary’s pro-grams for youth.

“We fund five schol-arships with the funds,” Bishop said. “We also support youth exchange with Rotary youth schol-arships which is a lead-ership program for young people.”

The series came as an addition to the film festival. It was started by Sunrise Rotary member Bill Gibbon almost 16 years ago. His daughter, Sharon Gibbon was in-volved in filmmaking and cinema. When she passed away, they de-cided that if they made any profits they would make a scholarship in her honour.

“That was the first scholarship for student of the arts,” Bishop said. “The series then started years later as a result and the scholarships have been expanded to five.”

Tickets for 20 Feet From Stardom are being sold at Lotus Books for $10, but can also be picked up for $12 at the door. The screenings do occasionally sell out so it’s best to be safe and get your ticket before-hand.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

C AROLYN GR ANTDaily Bulletin

As Kathy Cooper of-ficially takes the reins as CEO of Kootenay Rock-ies Tourism — a posi-tion she has been in un-officially since the re-tirement of Chris Dad-son last fall — the tour-ism industry in this area still faces challenges.

Tourism took a hit with the economic col-lapse of 2008, and Coo-per says that while there are positive areas, the industry as a whole has not yet fully recovered.

“We haven’t made any gains since 2008,” Cooper said. “It’s been a slow climb back up to those levels and we are not there yet.”

It is a changing world and one of Cooper’s goals is to make sure Kootenay Rockies Tour-ism stays abreast of cur-rent trends and pro-vides the best opportu-nities for all its stake-holders to increase rev-enues.

“One of the challeng-es in the tourism indus-try is that it has become seriously competitive,” Cooper said. “We com-pete with other jurisdic-tions with bigger mar-keting budgets. It’s global now. The tour-ism world has shrunk. We don’t just compete with Alberta. We’re competing with Austra-lia, Germany, Asia. Tourism dollars are shrinking and everyone wants a piece of the pie.”

The high Canadian dollar hasn’t helped in recent years as visitors to Canada may hold off waiting for a more ad-vantageous exchange rate.

Additionally, Cana-dians themselves travel to other countries to take advantage of the same.

But Canadians re-main the largest market in the Kootenay Rockies Tourism area.

“67 per cent of our revenue comes from Al-berta,” Cooper said. “When the dollar is strong and they want to go elsewhere, we lose. But, we are lucky that many of our Albertan

Tourism industry is still facing challenges

visitors have second homes or family and friends in this area and will come no matter what.”

Another challenges is that Kootenay Rock-ies Tourism and the five other destination mar-keting arms under Tourism British Colum-bia have not seen any increase in their mar-keting budgets.

“In order to get those increases we need to see an increase in tour-ism revenue.”

It’s not all challeng-es, Cooper says. There are some success sto-ries in individual areas.

“We are seeing some growth in individual communities and some sectors. Golf has taken a hit and is still not back. There is some increase in festivals and heritage. We’re definitely seeing the U.S. visitors coming back, but we still have some challenges.

“As I take the posi-

tion officially, my goal is to move forward with maintaining a clear vi-sion and objectives. De-spite challenges, we want to move forward providing our partners and stakeholders with the best opportunities we can to develop their businesses and increase tourism revenues.”

One of the issues going forward is bridg-ing the gap between print and online mar-keting. A number of new programs such as kootenaybrochures.ca offer those researching vacations online an op-portunity to see bro-chures about various attractions in the Koote-nays. There are 45 bro-chures up currently and more coming.

“It’s just another way to stretch your reach,” Cooper said. “It gets your marketing in the hands of people looking online and research does show that people

planning a vacation look first online. When they get a little closer they want that bro-chure in their hands. We have to present products in both of these worlds.”

The Kootenay app for smart phones was launched two years ago under Dadson’s tenure and has 8,000 downloads in that time.

“We just want to continue to bridge the gaps between market-ing and innovation. We have a great team with many talents.”

Almost all of the rural residents present ran home-based busi-nesses, from mechani-cal operations to saw mills to bed and break-fasts.

They were con-cerned with several as-pects of the regulations. In the changes, proper-ties less than two hect-ares must have less than 150 square metres (10 x 15) utilized by the busi-ness, which many felt was too small.

Some were con-cerned that the limit of one commercial vehicle greater than class 4 was too restrictive.

Others felt that the space allowed for a re-tail display in the busi-ness – 10 square metres – was too small. One resident gave the exam-

ple of a woodworker selling furniture in that size space.

A common message was that many people live in rural areas be-cause they don’t want the same level of regula-tion as in a city.

“I’m not against all of it — I do believe in some control — but most of us live in the regional district because we don’t want city rules,” said Clayton Augustine.

Many people said that the regulations would be “throttling business” and closing the region off to busi-ness owners who might otherwise consider moving to the East Koo-tenay.

“There is no room for growth,” said Linda Spence. “If we shut the

door in their face, how are they going to come here?”

The board should take longer to consult with affected home-owners, she went on.

“It was too fast, or you would have a room full of small business people.”

Another resident echoed Spence’s state-ments.

“I am opposed pri-marily due to the way it has been handled,” said Dean Jacobson. “The board needs to consider whether it wants to take the same road as the city in closing its doors to business.”

The RDEK board of directors will vote again on the home-based business regulations at its Friday, November 1 meeting.

But the news that more than half of CP’s railway carmen in Cranbrook had been laid off raised concerns, he went on.

“The concern from the community, given what happened in Que-bec, was how does that leave Cranbrook in a safe position?” Stetski asked.

“It’s still in a safe po-sition, there is no ques-tion about it,” respond-ed Rick Poznikoff, CP’s senior manager of com-munity relations and aboriginal affairs.

“Staff reductions are predicated on levels of traffic and numbers of traffic.

“The number one priority is safety. We are not compromising safe-ty here. But in this case, these cars will be in-spected either in Gold-en, Lethbridge and Cranbrook, and Trail.”

The mayor asked for clarification: does that mean that rail traffic

has decreased through Cranbrook?

“No decrease,” Poznikoff said. “But some of them go straight through to an-other destination. They are not switched here.”

Far fewer trains are broken apart and made up again in Cranbrook than used to be, he ex-plained. Less frequent switching of rail cars means fewer inspec-tions.

Councillor Gerry Warner asked how the Lac-Megantic tragedy happened given all of the rail industry’s safety precautions, including manual hand brakes on each rail car.

“We would like to know what happened too,” said Poznikoff. “We are very curious. We are just as con-cerned. Unfortunately, we have to wait until the Transportation Safety Board does an investigation and comes out with a re-

port.”Poznikoff did a lot to

alleviate council’s con-cerns about rail safety in Cranbrook.

He pointed out that 99.998 percent of rail industry shipments considered hazardous commodities reach their destination with-out a train accident. Rail hazardous com-modity accident rates are down 91 percent since 1980 and 38 per-cent since 2000.

Poznikoff went over CP’s procedures for checking rail lines and rail cars throughout its network.

About once a year in the area, a Rail Flaw De-tector Car inspects the main track at regular intervals and uses an ultrasonic and induc-tion system to detect internal flaws in rail.

Rail grinding is done between one and four times a year to restore the profile of rail and extends track life by re-moving irregularities.

Council questions CP on rail safety

Arne PetryshenTownsman Staff

There will be oppor-tunity for the public to weigh in on whether the city should designate Elko Station and the for-mer CPR freight shed of the Railway Museum as a heritage building.

Last Monday, coun-cil gave first and second reading to the recom-mendation by the Well-

ness and Heritage Com-mittee to amend the heritage bylaw to in-clude the structures. Council also passed the second readings of OCP and zoning amend-ments to change the Elko Station to Core Commercial zoning, from Park/Institutional/Recreational.

The public hearing will be on Nov. 4 at 6

p.m.City staff noted that

giving the buildings for-mal statuses could help in acquiring grants for maintenance or resto-ration.

Damon Colgan, ex-ecutive director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, and Jeanette Sissons, Chair of CAMAL (Cranbrook Ar-chives, Museum and Landmark Foundation), first brought the subject forward in August. At that time the museum was also hoping to have the nearby water tower designated as well.

Council then asked staff on Sept. 9 to pre-pare an amendment to the city’s Heritage Bylaw to include those struc-tures. However, later in September council re-ceived another letter asking to drop the water tower from consider-ation, since it’s owned by Canadian Pacific and located on their land. The museum wanted to get permission from CP and worried that it would take time and slow the process down.

According to the mu-seum’s records, the freight shed was built in 1898 and is one of the oldest structures in Cranbrook. The outside retains it’s historic look, while the interior is con-structed to modern standards.

Elko Station was con-structed between 1900-1901 and is an example of a “Crowsnest Style B station.” It was originally the train station in Elko. In 1987 it was moved to its present location next to the Railway Museum.

The building housed offices, a gift shop and the archives for the mu-seum before those things were moved to the new building.

The City of Cranbrook has a new Building Bylaw in place effective October 22, 2013. This new bylaw includes increases to the permit fees. All applications being submitted as of October 22, 2013 MUST be submitted on the new application forms.

While we transition from the old bylaw to the new bylaw, permit processing time may take longer than the current two (2) weeks. We ask that you take that into consideration when submitting your application.

One notable change is a $50.00 non-refundable application fee, payable at the time of submitting the application for permit. This application fee will be subtracted from the permit fee. All permits will be processed in the order they are received and we will work hard to have your permits processed and released in a timely fashion.

We thank you for your understanding through this transitional period. If you have any questions regarding the process, please contact Catherine Ernst, Engineering Clerk at 250-489-0207 or by email at [email protected]

Thank you for your consideration,

Drug Dealer busted

Cpl. Chris Ne welFor the Townsman

On the evening of Oct 24, members of the Cranbrook and Kimber-ley RCMP executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act in Marysville.

Several types of drugs were located in-cluding, MDMA, mari-juana, hashish and Ket-amine. A male, 37, and female were arrested. The male has since been charged with Posses-sion for the Purpose of Trafficking. On Friday, Oct. 25, he appeared before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and has been remanded in cus-tody until today, Mon-day, Oct. 28.

The subject is known to police and has a fairly extensive criminal re-cord — he was arrested two years ago for the same offence.

Police were particu-larly concerned for two reasons: One, children often reside in the resi-dence and secondly, the presence of Ketamine. If used improperly or mixed with other sub-stances Ketamine can be very dangerous. Veteri-narians primarily use it as a general anesthesia usually with a sedative for large animals.

MDMA (3,4-methy-lene diox y-metham-phetamine), popularly known as ecstasy, is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that has similari-ties to both the stimu-lant amphetamine and the hallucinogen mes-caline. MDMA can have many of the same physi-cal effects as other stim-ulants like cocaine and amphetamines. These include increases in heart rate and blood pressure, which are par-ticularly risky for people with circulatory prob-lems or heart disease. MDMA users may expe-rience other symptoms such as muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, faint-ness, and chills or sweating.

I return, esteemed reader — in all likeli-hood before you’ve had a chance to miss me. But I feel I would be remiss if I did

not comment on the heinous bloodbath taking place some 3,500 kilometres to the east. I speak of course of the spectacle taking place in the upper chambers of Parliament, that bastion of gentility and good manners — the Sen-ate.

Now, I realized quickly after I arrived in the west — some 16 years ago which makes me as rank a new-comer as one could be — that westerners, East Koote-nayans, Kimberlites and Cranbrookians, prefer their political bloodsport closer to home. They — dare I say we after living here such a short measure of time? — much enjoy watching the political maneuvering and, at times, backbiting, of local and pro-vincial politics and then dissecting said maneuvers over a latte or perhaps a beer at one of the local meat draws.

We westerners — yes, I have adopted the we despite my short tenure — tend to look at those who choose to dwell on the wrong side of the Rockies with a faint be-wilderment. Why would you want to live there, when you could live here? And with no good answer to such a simple question, we turn our backs and get on with life on the correct side of the mountains.

But what is taking place this month in the Senate requires some attention, if only because its theatrical aspects. It has all the angst of a Shakespearean tragedy — foul deeds, revenge, a complex plot, heroes and

villains. Actually, as the drama unfolds it becomes apparent there are no heroes, but there are villains aplenty.

Long considered to by most to be a se-date, almost somniferous Chamber where politicians, and friends of politicians, are gently put out to pasture, to pass their final

days rubber stamping bills produced in the House of Commons, the Senate this week was the site of such turmoil, such desperate scrambling, such sheer gall, that it managed to reach over the Rockies and catch the attention of those of us

in the West.We have several Senators caught up in

an investigation of improper expenses, and let’s be clear, it is not just Conservative Sen-ators. There are Liberal Senators, like Sena-tor Mac Harb, on the list as well. But it just so happens that three of the highest profile of those being investigated are Conserva-tives, or at least began as Conservatives and then quit the caucus to sit as Independents until this mess is cleared up. I speak of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. The allegations are improperly claimed ex-penses, for such things as second homes that some appear to rarely ever visit.

But at the heart of the matter is a $90,000 cheque written to Senator Duffy by the Prime Minister’s former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright — who fell on his sword and re-signed in the early days of this brewing scandal. Wright said he did not advise the Primer Minister of this payment. Prime Minister Harper says he did not become

aware of the payment until May 15, when the story broke.

But this week, Duffy told the Senate that he met with both Harper and Wright to discuss the issue last February. Duffy says the Prime Minister told him to repay his expenses, worried about how the issue would play with the conservative base. Harper denies ever saying it was about per-ception.

The entire mess hangs on one unknown. Did the Prime Minister know about the cheque to Duffy? There is no doubt the Prime Minister’s Office, the PMO, was heavily involved, but did Harper himself have knowledge of it?

Duffy never did come right out and say Harper was party to the conversation about the cheque. He skirted it, he came close to it, but he never actually said it.

Last week, Duffy, Brazeau and Wallin all spoke to the Senate, in hearings over their potential expulsion. They begged for due process and for their jobs and health care benefits. They pointed their fingers at fel-low Senators, accusing them of bringing out the long knives on behalf of the PMO.

It was a repellent, yet strangely compel-ling spectacle. And it has caught Prime Minister Harper in its web as surely as the most tenacious spider. Nothing, not even a huge trade deal with Europe, has had the ability to shake the Opposition, or the press, off the subject. Has Canada’s teflon man fi-nally run into something that penetrates the surface?

C B C/Co lu m B i a Va l l e y P i o n e e rThe Invermere Deer Protection Soci-

ety’s lawsuit against the district of Inver-mere was finally heard in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver earlier this month, a year and a half after it was first filed.

And on Friday, Oct. 25, B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled against some ani-mal rights activists trying to stop the cull-ing of deer in Invermere, B.C.

The district says aggressive deer are a threat to public safety, but the Invermere Deer Protection Society was arguing the town’s council did not consult the com-munity before going ahead with plans to destroy 19 deer two years ago.

The Invermere Deer Protection Soci-ety’s legal argument had three main points — a procedural fairness argument, a jurisdiction argument and an unrea-sonableness argument, according to the group’s lawyer Rebeka Breder.

Devin Kazakoff, head of the deer pro-tection society, called the court’s deci-sion disappointing.

“They’ve agreed with the district on the fact that they consulted the public,” Kazakoff said. “We don’t agree with the

judge’s decision, but that’s what it is,” he said.

Other B.C. communities had been watching this case closely because they use the same public process as Inver-mere to obtain permits from the provin-cial government to destroy deer.

Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft said the lawsuit was one of the “nastiest experi-ences I’ve ever had,” and that he and his council received petitions, emails from all over the world and even death threats throughout the case.

“We’re glad to have that over with,” he said.

The issue of a deer cull in Invermere is not entirely settled, however. A public referendum on Nov. 2 will allow residents to decide if more permits for future culls should be sought by the district.

Kazakoff said he’s confident the vote will vindicate his group’s efforts.

“You get a few people that think they’re aggressive of think they’re a nui-sance, but generally from the people I talk to... everybody loves the deer. I just hope that shows up in the vote,” he told CBC News.

While the debate continues over the abundance of deer in Invermere, the urban ungulate’s wild cousins are actual-ly in decline.

“Mule deer populations have not been doing that well over the past five to 10 years, and we are proposing to change some of the buck hunting seasons,” said Cranbrook-based Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resources wildlife bi-ologist Tara Szkorupa.

“It’s quite a different situation in town versus the backcountry,” she added. “They are doing very well in town, away from predators, and with lots of food.”

This year is the second in a two-year regulation cycle and the ministry is now putting forward proposed hunting changes for 2014.

“We don’t actually harvest any female mule deer in our region,” said Ms. Szko-rupa. “It’s factors other than hunting that are affecting that population, and we don’t have a great understanding of that. It’s some combination of predation and habitat. We’re just starting on a major research project to try and dig into that a little deeper.”

S u B m i t t e dAfter a long process

of negotiations and nu-merous delays, on Oct.18, finally three Pet Waste Stations, courte-sy of Karla Shalley owner of The Playpen, were installed at Idlewild Park.

The City was first approached with the proposal to install pet waste stations in the fall of 2012. Several emails, meetings, and constant delays were the ‘order’ since early May of this year.

In October, Karla, along with her two vol-unteers, Todd and Ei-leen, were given per-mission to install these three stations them-selves. It didn’t take these three enthusias-tic and willing volun-teers very long to get these stations installed.

The stations are all on the 9th St. entrances

Sawmills in Quesnel and Houston are to be closed next year as their owners trade tim-ber cutting rights to maintain competing operations in the two B.C. Interior communities affected by mountain pine bee-tle infestation.

Canfor Corp. announced it will close its Quesnel mill in March 2014, transferring its forest licence for the region to West Fraser to supply logs to its recently rebuilt Quesnel mill. West Fraser announced it will close its Houston mill next year,

trading part of its cutting rights to Canfor to supply its Houston operation.

West Fraser CEO Ted Sera-phim said in a statement its Houston closure will affect 225 employees. The company plans “major rebuilds” of its sawmills in 100 Mile House and Smithers, and is proceed-ing with a bioenergy projects at its Fraser Lake and Chetwynd operations.

“Our first priority is to ex-plore opportunities to transi-tion Houston employees to one of our other operations, and we will provide assistance in find-

ing new employment,” Sera-phim said.

Canfor CEO Don Kayne said the 209 employees at its Quesnel mill will be offered po-sitions elsewhere in the com-pany.

“The additional fibre we have been able to secure in the exchange agreement with West Fraser enhances the fibre re-quirements for our Houston facility,” Kayne said.

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who chaired a review of Interior timber supplies in the wake of last year’s explo-sion and fire at Babine Forest

Products in Burns Lake, said he expected the decision to re-duce mill capacity in the Quesnel region.

“The surprise is the closure of the Houston mill, from my perspective,” Rustad said. “I think West Fraser has always been looking at how they want to move the wood between the three mills, but when we looked at the opportunities in the Houston area on the timber supply component, there was a significant amount of wood in that area, and our hope was it would continue to support two mills.”

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

If it’s one thing that’s clear after a pair of games this weekend, it’s that the Kootenay Ice still struggle with consistency.

The Ice hosted the Winterhawks and Warriors at Western Financial Place, losing 6-3 to Portland on Friday and winning 5-4 against Moose Jaw the following night.

New Ice forward Tim Bozon notched his first point as a Kootenay Ice player with an assist, while defenceman Landon Cross and Rinat Valiev made their home debut in Cranbrook.

Portland took advantage of a flat start from the Ice and were up 3-0 after 15 min-utes. Their relentless forecheck and ag-gressive speed kept the Kootenay squad on their heels for most of the game, but the Ice did add some offence in the final peri-od.

“That’s a real good team over there, a lot of skill, a lot of speed, a pretty good transition game, and we didn’t help our-selves,” said Austin Vetterl, who scored one of Kootenay’s goals.

“We didn’t get the puck deep early, we missed the net a lot, which helped their transition game a lot.”

Moose Jaw was the opposite, as the Ice got off to a hot start with a 3-1 lead after two periods, but nearly allowed the War-riors to come back in the final frame.

“The start was fine, the first two periods was good for us, the part that worries us, obviously, is allowing them to come back into the game,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson.

Both Mackenzie Skapski and Wyatt Hoflin split the starts; the former against the Winterhawks and the latter against the Warriors.

Skapski had a rough night, with six

goals in 38 shots against Portland, while Hoflin surrendered four goals in the same number of shots against Moose Jaw.

The Winterhawks, the reigning WHL championship squad, took advantage of a slow Kootenay start, and drew blood 60 seconds into the game on a goal from Nic Petan.

Chase De Leo doubled the lead when he received a behind-the-net pass and flipped the puck on net and in.

De Leo notched another goal ten min-utes later, throwing the puck on goal from the sideboards that somehow rolled up and underneath Skapski’s arm into the cage.

Sam Reinhart finally responded for Kootenay on a late power play, snapping a shot past Portland netminder Jarrod Scha-merhorn.

The Ice were badly outplayed in the period, reflected by shots on goal, as Port-land led 17-6.

The two teams held each other to a draw in the second period, but the goals piled up in the final frame.

Austin Vetterl pulled the Ice within one by sneaking a low shot past Schamerhorn four minutes in.

However, the Winterhawks scored two quick and deflating goals, as Derek Pouliot and Josh Hanson beat Skapski high glove side on similiar looking shots from the

point.Kootenay put in a strong shift with

some good pressure in Portland’s zone, and were rewarded when Zak Zborosky capitalized during a scramble in front of the net at the halfway mark.

Keegan Iverson answered back 43 sec-onds later, as Portland rode out the rest of the game to win 6-3.

“They came out to a strong start and we didn’t match that, and it was too little, too late,” said Henderson. “Definitely the ef-fort wasn’t there and too many turnovers and it definitely cost us.”

Kootenay cleaned up their start against Moose Jaw, leading 3-1 after two periods, but the Warriors nearly battled their way back to a tie in the third frame.

Jeff Hubic had a productive night while working on the blue line, with three as-sists.

“I thought he played extremely well,” said Henderson. “As far as defence goes, it’s somewhat new for him as far as posi-tioning goes, but I thought he played ex-tremely well and definitely reliable out there.”

Hubic’s first apple came on a slap pass to Reinhart, who redirected the puck into the net for Kootenay’s first goal.

He notched his second in the middle frame while clearing the puck out of the zone on a penalty kill, which went right to Landon Peel, who busted out of the penal-ty box and scored on a breakaway.

Descheneau took advantage of a re-bound in front of Warriors goaltender Jus-tin Paulic on an Ice powerplay to make it 3-0 roughly halfway through the game.

Moose Jaw was able put themselves up on the board late in the period on an effort from Jack Rodewald.

Three was an un-lucky number for the Kimberley Dynamiters this weekend.

The team went on the road for three games in three nights, suffering three losses up in Revel-stoke, Chase and Sica-mous.

Following the loss to the Grizzlies on Thurs-day night, the Nitros headed into Chase and dropped a 4-1 decision before falling 3-1 at the hands of the Eagles in Sicamous on Saturday.

The Heat scored four

unanswered goals to win 4-1 on Friday night in Chase, as the Nitros headed west following their Thursday night matchup against the Grizzlies in Revelstoke.

Even though they took the loss, Kimberley scored first on a goal from Jared Marchi, but it was all Chase from there on in.

Cody Koskimaki, Jor-dan Passmore and Kaleb Boyle all an-swered for the Heat in the latter 10 minutes of the opening frame.

Nicholas Fidanza added a goal in the sec-

ond period, while both squads were scoreless in the final frame.

Troy Brouwer took the loss in net, turning away 21 shots, while Kimberley put 23 pucks on Jacob Mattes for the Heat.

Kimberley was shut out in four powerplay

opportunities, while the Heat drew blood once in five chances with the man-advantage.

Kimberley headed into Sicamous on Satur-day, but were undone after the Eagles scored a pair of goals in the final period to break a 1-1 tie after 40 minutes.

Sicamous notched a power play goal from Tyson Taylor in the opening period, but Kimberley answered back from Andrew Stack in the following period to even it up.

Matthew Maetche scored another power-

play goal in the third pe-riod for the Eagles, while Nathan Grieve scored the empty netter.

Jeremy Mousseau guarded the net for Kimberley, making 35 saves in defeat, while his team put 44 shots on Ea-gles goalie Kris Joyce.

Despite the losses, Kimberley still stands on top of the Eddie Mountain Division, one point ahead of the Cres-ton Valley Thundercats.

Next action for the Nitros is a home-and-home series with the di-vision runner ups next weekend.

Descheneau tallied again when he walked into the slot from the sideboards with a nice toe-drag to beat Paulic for a 4-1 lead in the third peri-od.

However, Rodewald re-sponded a few minutes later, when a shot from the point redirected right to his stick for an open net with Hoflin out of position.

Kootenay restored their three-goal lead just over a minute later, when Kyle O’Connor picked up a re-bound in front of the net, spun around and fired the puck into the corner. Hubic picked up his third assist on the play.

With 10 minutes to go, the wheels fell off a bit for the Ice, which allowed two quick goals that made for a tense finish.

On similar looking shots, Brayden Point and Torrin Whyte both beat Hoflin low on the glove side in a span of under two minutes to trail by one with eight minutes re-maining in the game.

The Warriors buzzed the Kootenay zone in the final minute with six attackers and an empty net, but the Ice were able to hang on for the win.

“We’re in command and control throughout the first two periods and we found a way to let them back in the game and that’s a little con-cerning,” said Henderson, “but ultimately we got the two points, and that’s the biggest concern, but we do have some stuff to fix, for sure.”

Bozon also drew two as-sists on Descheneau’s goals,

while Valiev and Zborosky both picked up some points.

Kootenay is starting to get some scoring that is more dis-tributed throughout the line-up, which is a good sign, said Henderson.

“It definitely helps, it takes a lot of pressure off Jaedon and Sam and with the new guys coming too, that’s going to help alleviate some of that pressure, and it makes it a lot easier on ourselves when we have production from all four lines,” Henderson said.

Descheneau agreed.“You need secondary scor-

ing to win, you can’t rely on certain people every night,” Descheneau said.

Mike Dyck, who is helping out Henderson when McGill takes off for the World Juniors, joined the Kootenay Ice on the bench for both games.

NOTES: In a move that shouldn’t be too surprising, Brent Sutter and Ryan McGill were named to Team WHL’s coaching staff for the Subway Super Series on Friday. The Super Series features a Rus-sian junior squad that tours through the QMJHL, OHL, and WHL with two games in each league along the way. The event is billed as a tune up to look at which players could be representing their country at the World Junior Championships, as Sutter and McGill are on Team Canada’s coaching staff. Benoit Groulx, who will join Sutter and Mc-Gill on the bench with Team Canada, is the QMJHL’s head coach for the Super Series. Red Deer and Lethbridge are hosting the two WHL games and the roster should be un-veiled this week.

Red Sox beat Cardinals 4-2 to even World Seriesronald BlumAssociated Press

ST. LOUIS - Jonny Gomes got the Red Sox even in this wild World Series, thanks part-ly to Shane Victorino’s aching back.

Inserted into the lineup about 75 minutes before game-time, Gomes hit a three-run homer off reliever Seth Maness in the sixth inning that led Bos-ton to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, tying the Series at two games apiece.

Felix Doubront and surprise reliever John Lackey, both starters during the regular sea-son, picked up for a gritty Clay Buchholz to help the Red Sox ensure the Series will return to Boston.

And one night after that game-ending obstruction call, another unusual ending. Koji Uehara picked off rookie pinch-runner Kolten Wong at first base for the final out - with

post-season star Carlos Beltran standing at the plate.

Game 5 is Monday night at Busch Stadium, with Boston left-hander Jon Lester facing Cardinals ace Adam Wain-wright in a rematch of the opener won 8-1 by the Red Sox.

Gomes helped get Boston started in the fifth when he fol-lowed David Ortiz’s leadoff double with a 10-pitch walk that tired starter Lance Lynn, who had faced the minimum 12 batters through the first four innings.

Stephen Drew’s sacrifice fly tied the score 1-all, erasing a deficit created when centre fielder Jacoby Ellsbury’s third-inning error advanced Matt Carpenter into scoring position for Beltran’s RBI sin-gle.

Ortiz, who homered in the first two games of the Series, had three of Boston’s six hits and was the club’s leader, smacking his hands together

and screaming at teammates to get going when he pulled into second base on his double. Then, after the fifth inning, he huddled the Red Sox for a pep talk in the dugout.

Not long after, Gomes’ drive put Boston ahead 4-1 in the sixth.

With adrenaline taking over, Gomes spiked an arm through the air as he rounded first base, yelled and banged his chest with a fist twice. Teammates tugged on Gomes’ beard for good luck when he got back to the dugout, including a two-handed pull by Mike Nap-oli.

While talk of umpires’ calls dominated discussion follow-ing two of the opening three games, this one turned on a manager’s pregame decision.

John Farrell’s original Red Sox lineup didn’t include Gomes, but Victorino’s back had been bothering him since Saturday, so Daniel Nava was

moved from left field to right and from fifth to second in the batting order. Gomes was in-serted into the No. 5 hole be-hind Ortiz.

Gomes had been 0 for 9 in the Series before the home run, and Red Sox outfielders had been 4 for 40 with no RBIs. Fol-lowing Dustin Pedroia’s two-out single and a four-pitch walk to Ortiz by Lynn, Maness threw five straight sliders to Gomes, who sent the last one into the Red Sox bullpen in left as Matt Holliday kept running back only to run out of room.

Carpenter singled in a run in the seventh off Craig Breslow in the seventh after pinch-hit-ter Shane Robinson doubled with two outs against Doubront on a ball that skidded away from Gomes. Junichi Tazawa came in and got Holliday to hit an inning-ending grounder to second, a night after allowing a tiebreaking, two-run double to Holliday.

■ When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into

contact with heat or � ame. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see

out.

■ Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long � replace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from

anything that can burn and far enough out of way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.

■ Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.

■ Provide children with � ashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.

■ Dried � owers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly � ammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open � ames and heat sources, including light

bulbs and heaters.

■ Tell children to stay away from open � ames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing

catches � re. (Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands,

and rolling over and over to put the � ames out.)

■ It is safest to use a � ashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use

extreme caution.

■ Use � ashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer

for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.

■ Always remember to carry a � ashlight when trick-or-treating after dark.

■ Trick-or-treat only at brightly lit houses in familiar neighborhoods.

■ Follow traf� c signals and cross the streets only at crosswalks.

■ Drivers should drive slowly and watch out for trick-or-treaters.

■ Stick to sidewalks and avoid taking shortcuts across yards or alleys.

■ Adults should carefully inspect candy for tampering before it is eaten.

■ If your children are going to Halloween parties at others’ homes, have them look for ways out of the home and plan

how they would get out in an emergency.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It might be Monday, but that is not enough of a reason to sit on your creativity. There could be a lot of inconsequential hassles that others need help resolving. Your ability to think outside the box will emerge. They value that quality in you. Tonight: Make it early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you can spend a little more time at home and on yourself right now, you will find that the benefits outweigh the prob-lems. Sometimes, you need to slow down and relax. Invite a fa-vorite person to join you. What was a task before now becomes fun! Tonight: At home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You speak your mind loudly and clearly. You might decide that it’s time to get past a prob-lem that has been slowing you down. Sometimes just express-ing the caring you feel can help clear up a hassle. Tonight: Head home early, while your luck is still hot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on what is important to handle. You could be taken aback by what is going on and by how undisciplined you might be. Realize that you are a crea-ture of extremes. You need to let your moods run their course without reacting to them. To-night: Start a conversation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are in your element during the daytime. Your natural re-sponse points you in the right direction. You will not make a mistake by remaining open to others; in fact, you can only gain! Maintain your normal routine, and play it low-key. Tonight: Speak your mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The daytime hours could be challenging, and they might be causing you a lot of tension despite someone’s support and obvious caring. Know that you will feel better as the day ends. Your energy changes as the workday comes to a close. Tonight: Chill out, then decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A meeting points to the best

path for success. How you say what you need and how you express your need for ac-knowledgment is very likely to change. Be more forthright at times and a little less charming. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll assume your normal role as leader of the gang. You han-dle responsibility well, though it takes its toll on you. Stress needs to be handled quickly right now, as you have a lot of ground to cover. Take a walk or just take a break. Tonight: Join a favorite friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be excited by an up-coming event or by a visit from someone. This excitement flows into every other part of your life, or so it seems. You might want to revisit your impression of a key matter. In a different mood, everything could change. To-night: Out late. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Consider getting feedback from others about what they feel is necessary. A brainstorm session easily could evolve. Let a close

associate take a lead role in a key matter. You might not real-ize it, but this person expresses his or her caring by taking ac-tion. Tonight: Be creative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have the ability to visualize more of what you want from a situation and express it, which could affect your friends. You probably don’t realize the im-pact that you have on others. Start the process of manifesting a desire through sharing more. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You see a great deal of sensitiv-ity and understanding emerge as others deal with their daily routines and events. A sense of well-being will be contagious, and it might allow a difficult sit-uation to be resolved. Tonight: Reach for the stars. Nearly any-thing is possible. BORN TODAY Medical researcher Jonas Salk (1914), business magnate Bill Gates (1955), actress Julia Rob-erts (1967) ***

Dear Annie: I am getting married next year. One of the most stressful things for me is picking the attendants. I have my best man and two groomsmen. My fiancee, “Sara,” suggested I add another friend, which I was happy to do. Then, a good friend found out and was a lit-tle upset that I didn’t choose him, as well. He tried to joke about not being in the wedding, but I knew he was a little hurt, so I asked him to be a groomsman. He has been the most excited about everything since then. So Sara and I now have four attendants each. The problem is, I have one additional friend, “Mark,” who I know will be upset if he is the only one of my close friends left out of the wedding party. I’d like to include Mark, but Sara doesn’t have many friends and would have trouble finding a matching partner as an attendant. How should I go about this? I feel weird even talking about my wedding with Mark because he isn’t included. -- West Coast Di-lemma Dear Dilemma: First of all, while it’s nice for attendants to “match up,” it is not a re-quirement. One groomsman can escort two bridesmaids. Attendants also can walk sepa-rately, or two groomsmen (or bridesmaids) can walk together. Discuss this with Sara, in case she has someone else she’d like to ask. Another option is to include Mark by giving him a different honor: He could be an usher, directing guests to their seats and handing out programs if you have them. You also could ask him to read something during the ceremony or help in other ways. He would be treated the same as a groomsman and in-cluded in all planned events. Dear Annie: My husband and I occasion-ally socialize with another couple our age. The problem is, at restaurants, the husband is condescending to the wait staff, repeated-ly asks for substitutions and always sends some of his food back with a complaint. In addition, he is a stingy tipper. His wife says nothing when these things happen. But we are embarrassed by his be-havior. We don’t want to humiliate them or cause a scene by being critical. What do you suggest? -- A Friend of Waiters Dear Friend: You can tell a lot about a person’s character by the way he treats the wait staff at a restaurant. If you insist on so-cializing with this boorish man, we suggest you avoid places where he will cause em-barrassment and ill will. Go to a movie or a play, and stop briefly for a drink after. Meet for coffee. Invite them to your home if you prefer to share a meal. We think his wife will know why you no longer eat out with them, and she will inform her husband. How they choose to deal with that is up to them. Dear Annie: I cried when I read the letter from “Hurt and Alone,” whose husband goes out drinking with his cheating friends and leaves her at home. I, too, have been hurt and alone for years. My husband’s alcohol intake, work sched-ule and need to be the social center of at-tention have taken priority in our marriage for 20 years. My husband is the kind of guy who treats everyone to everything, so people think he’s the greatest. He’s not a raging, bel-ligerent or violent alcoholic. He’s a success-ful functioning alcoholic who is an expert at excuses and turning the tables. Tell “Hurt and Alone” that she is not the only one who has spent many a night wait-ing for her husband to come home. I was once a self-assured, confident woman, but I’ve lost myself coping with endless lies and loneliness while trying to raise three chil-dren. -- Lonely in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

BARKER, Bill June 2, 1943 -

October 22, 2013

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Bill Barker. Bill was much loved by his family; daughters Heidi and Tracy (Carm), step-daughters, Sherri (Randy) and Ardy (Pete), sisters Linda (Bob), and Noreen. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren,

Karlie, Shaelynn, Taylor, Brenden, Georgia, Jaiden, and Isaac; his niece Tracy, (Jack and Amelie) and nephew Randy (Claudia and Tomas).

Bill was predeceased by his mother Vivian and father Bim.

Bill was born in Edmonton, Alberta, June 2, 1943. Bill lived on the ranch at Ta Ta Creek as a boy; his adult years were spent in Kimberley and Cranbrook. Bill was an excellent horseman but most admired for his ability with heavy equipment. Bill loved to work and was about to get on a grader the day he became ill. Bill had many friends in his life who will no doubt miss his sense of humour and infectious laugh, his family certainly will.

On October 22, 2013, Bill rode his mustang into the sunset – he was so very loved and will be sorely missed. A celebration of his life will be held spring 2014 outdoors in Cranbrook, under the trees and in the fresh air where Billl loved to be. This will give his family and friends the opportunity to celebrate his spirit and heart. A special thank you from his family to all his wonderful friends. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the charity of choice.

Thank You!The Allison family would like to thank

everyone who came to Mom’s service, gave flowers, donations to the SPCA, and all their

friends, always asking to do more for Mom, just knowing you took Mom for that last

ride, hair appointment, supper and a show does our hearts good.If we have missed anybody,

our sincerest apology.To all, a big, big thank you!

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

C anadian PressInfluential musician Lou

Reed was no stranger to Canada, playing gigs here over several de-cades and having an effect on Canadian artists.

In one of his final appearanc-es in Canada, Reed took to the stage with Elvis Costello, Ron Sexsmith and others during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to pay tribute to fellow musical icon Neil Young.

Clad in all black with a de-meanour that could only be de-scribed as all business, Reed hammered his guitar through a performance of Young’s “Help-less’’ before accompanying vo-calist Jenni Muldaur on a rendi-tion of “Harvest.’’

And he returned months later for a Montreal International Jazz Festival for an avant-garde per-formance with widow Laurie An-derson and composer John Zorn.

Reed’s literary agent Andrew Wylie confirmed the legendary musician died Sunday morning in Southampton at age 71 of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant.

Reed performed numerous shows in Canada going back de-cades, with early solo shows in Toronto and Montreal in the 1970s, according to concert tracking service SongKick.

British musician and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett told Britain’s The Guardian newspaper that fights broke out between Genesis and Reed sup-porters when the progressive rock band opened for Reed in a 1973 gig at Toronto’s Massey Hall.

“There were people who wanted to watch Genesis, and people who wanted to watch Lou Reed. And that deteriorated

into a punch-up between the Lou Reed fans who were on downers, and the Genesis fans who were more into Earl Grey tea,’’ Hackett told the paper in 2011.

Several Canadian musicians took to Twitter to remember Reed, who led pioneering 1960s art-rock band Velvet Under-ground.

“Just got some sad news....Lou Reed has passed away. Huge loss. No words,’’ tweeted sing-er-songwriter Ron Sexsmith.

“Can’t overstate lou reed’s in-fluence on me. inspired me not to take the easy road. got his words on my arm. RIP,’’ said rap-per Cadence Weapon.

“Transformer is a timeless re-cord. RIP LOU,’’ said ex-Alexison-fire member Wade MacNeil of Reed’s 1972 album that had the classic hit “Walk on the Wild Side.’’

“Dear Lou Reed, please rest in peace,’’ said pop-rocker Leslie Feist.

Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings tweeted: “The last Folk Singer dies.’’

Trust (CBT) has com-mitted $1,980,000 in funding over the next three years to the Basin Business Advisors (BBA) program. Deliv-ered by Community Fu-tures (CF), the program aims to build economic capacity in Basin com-munities by strength-ening and supporting all business models.

“As we move into our new agreement with Community Futures to deliver the enhanced BBA program, we would like to join Com-munity Futures in wel-coming the new pro-gram staff on board,” said Neil Muth, CBT President and CEO. “We encourage existing businesses to connect with these experts in order to take advantage of the recently expand-ed program.”

BBA supports small- and medium-sized businesses in the Basin by providing free, one-to-one, confidential business counselling and assessment ser-vices, and by arranging and cost-sharing spe-cialized consulting ser-vices. These services are now available to all business models, in-cluding social enter-prises. Starting this fall, the program will also offer pre-start-up entre-

Kirsten HildebrandNelson StarOnce standard items

on hospital food trays such as coffee, tea, salt and pepper will no lon-ger be made available unless special request-ed as Interior Health aims to cut food service costs.

Kootenay Lake Hos-pital will discontinue tea and coffee with milk and sugar; salt and pep-per; milk and crackers because they were highly wasted items, says Laresa Altenhoff, manager of food and nutrition services for Interior Health East

“We’re doing our due diligence to try and  reduce coststhat are associated to health care. It’s important to be cognizant of waste as well,” she says. “I hate things going in the gar-bage.”

Throughout July, August and September, IH conducted a “plate waste” audit that found almost 75 per cent of

these to-be-eliminated items were going in the garbage costing Interior Health East’s acute care $50,000 annually.

Items appearing on trays cannot be saved because of FoodSafe and infection control.

“It has to go in the garbage,” Altenhoff says.

It may seem a small packet of salt is the least of the health authority’s budgetary worries but Altenhoff explains in a year, for the thousands of people going through the hospital, providing that salt and pepper adds up to $3,000 to $5,000. Tea — between the bags and cup lids — adds up to $22,000.

“Because we’re serv-ing such a mass amount of people it adds up,” she says.

IH is looking at a new way of providing these items via a check-list for “patients who actually want them,” says Altenhoff.

“Tea was a standard

but a lot people don’t like tea, they like cof-fee… This way we will identify what their likes and dislikes are more upfront with the pa-tients.”

IH is also addressing other menu items that are commonly wasted because most people don’t like them or they don’t suit a communi-ty’s ethnic base.

“We’ve identified, ‘this product definitely doesn’t go over, let’s look and make the changes to the menu,’” Altenhoff says. “We try to address the needs of the patient instead of setting up a menu that’s not popular… We want to make changes so that our patients are best served and getting the food they want instead of seeing it go in the garbage.”

During this time of transitioning to elimi-nate waste, IH is also looking at making all meals similar to break-fast served bulk-style

from a cart taken around to floors. Pa-tients request items such as hot cereal, toast, omelet or yoghurt, juice from a selective menu the day before service. On the initial admission day a standard meal is given.

Lunch and dinner have been traditionally assembled on trays based on diet specifica-tions. Standard items are put on.

“We in health care need to address how much food goes in the garbage. We need to re-duce that, what goes into our landfills and be part of the green effort as well,” says Altenhoff.

These changes in food service are taking place over the next cou-ple weeks leading up to November 1. Interior Health East includes Grand Forks to Golden and all points in be-tween to the Alberta border.
