Arne PetryshenTownsman StaffWhat has caused a

number of fish to die in Joseph Creek over the September 5 weekend is

not known. Ray Gilowitz, a con-

servation officer based out of Cranbrook, con-firmed that fish had died in the creek for un-

known reasons. “The ministry

doesn’t know at this point why it occurred,” he said.

He said the COs were

initially called because of the reports of fish floating in the creek. En-vironment Canada has taken water samples and fish samples as well.

He said there are no known causes at this time.

“The ministry is cer-tainly aware of it, but there are no answers to

how or why it occurred at this point,” he said.

Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communica-tion officer, said the city was made aware Mon-

day that something oc-curred over the week-end in regards to the fish.

Cause of dead fish in Joseph Creek unknown

A R N E P E T RYS H E NA semi truck burned on

4th Avenue South overnight Thursday, Sept. 11. Fire crews were on the scene to put out the blaze during the early morning hours. The call came in at 1:55 a.m. and by 3:56 a.m. the blaze was extin-guished.

Gord Yee, acting captain for the Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services, said fire crews arrived to a fully in-

volved vehicle fire. He said there was no dan-

ger to nearby people or struc-tures.

“It was just parked on the side of the road, a residential street, so there was no expo-sures as far as dangers.”

He said crews treat vehicle fires much the same as struc-tural fires.

“We just make sure that there are no exposures or haz-ards to anybody around, like

power lines, or fuels or any-thing like that,” he said. “We just try to control it as soon as possible before it spreads to anything else.”

Six firefighters responded to the call.

Yee said the cause is unde-termined.

He said it is under investi-gating, but not by fire crews. Rather it will be ICBC and/or the RCMP.

Yee said they do get quite a

few vehicle fires over the course of the year.

“It’s pretty common,” he said.

Neighbours reported hear-ing the tires explode.

“Which is quite common when you have a fully in-volved vehicle of course tires are going to overheat and catch on fire and with the air inside them you are going to hear the explosions and stuff like that from them,” he said.

BARRY COULTERThe new head of

B.C.’s anti-gang agency says police have made “significant headway in the efforts to curtail gang activity.”

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said earlier this month that the “signifi-cant decline” in orga-nized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investiga-tions leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership.

Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gang-re-lated individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said.

In Cranbrook, gang activity, particularly in the drug trade, is down, after intense police work.

Four years ago, RCMP

intervened in a feud be-tween two rival Cran-brook gangs, that had burst out into the open with the shooting of one gang member in front of the Sam Steele Hotel in Cranbrook, in Oct. 2009.

Victim Chad Everett Munroe was shot several times in the dispute be-tween two rival groups, but survived. The vio-lence in Cranbrook was part of what police there described as a war for control of the Kootenay drug trade between rival gangs, with significant links to organized crime throughout the Koote-nay and southern Alber-ta regions.

In May of 2010, likely as result of the shooting and the ongoing feud, two innocent people — Leanne MacFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor — were murdered in a Mayook cabin just east of Cran-brook.

“We understand there were some pictures and just a step-by-step of where they went on Joseph Creek, where they were checking and what they found to see if anybody was aware of any issues,” he said. “Then it got turned over to the conservation officer

service who are part of (Min-istry of Environment). They may in turn pull in the De-partment of Fisheries.”

The information was then circulated to Public Works and Engineering to make them aware of it.

Zettel said that because it

is Joseph Creek, responsibili-ties around investigation and those sorts of things rest with the Ministry of Environment, and possibly Fisheries.

“I do know that the con-servation officer service is looking into it to see what happened,” he said. “But at this point we’re just like ev-

eryone else and waiting to see what the investigation brings up.”

Zettel said in his five years with the city he hasn’t seen something like this before.

“We’ll wait and see what the result of the investigation is from the CO service,” he said. “I think that maybe if

the investigation leads to some suggestions and rec-ommendations for the city for things that we might be able to do to help prevent something like this from happening down the line. I know staff will certainly have a look at it and I know mayor and council will certainly

have an interest in exploring what the city can do.”

One thing of note is that the storm sewers in the city all empty into Joseph Creek.

“Just to make people aware that what they do put down the storm sewer will end up in Joseph Creek,” he said.

ARne PetRyshenProtect your brains!

The zombies are com-ing.

Or at least people dressed as zombies for the 2014 Zombie Walk. The walk is happening Oct. 4 from 1 - 5:30 p.m.

Organizers of the event describe it as an organized public gath-ering of people who dress up in zombie cos-tumes and make their

way around the city streets in a group dis-playing their zombie guises.

The event is a fund-raiser, noted organizer Chad Engelhardt.

“Bring a non-perish-able food item for the local food bank,” he said. “We’ll make sure they get it because Zom-bies only like flesh and brains.”

The zombies will

gather in the parking lot behind Koco Beach on 8th Avenue South be-tween 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to prepared. The walk starts at 1:30 pm.

“We are most inter-ested in people to come that are not shy or afraid of really getting into character of being a Zombie,” he said.

The walk is an all ages event. Kids 12 and under need to be ac-

companied by an adult. The event is drug and alcohol free.

The route will be the same as the one fol-lowed last year.

It begins at the start point behind Koco Beach, follows Baker Street, goes past the skate park and the hoard ends up in Baker Park on 14th Avenue South.

Engelhardt posted a Zombie Walk etiquette on the event’s Facebook page “2014 Zombie Walk Cranbrook, B.C.”

Engelhardt noted that they must be fol-

lowed to ensure public safety, compliance with the law and to keep fu-ture Zombie Walks in the positive realm of public favour.

1: Keep your hands to yourself — Do not under any circumstance wipe, smear, or splatter blood on anything but yourself! It is considered vandalism to deface public & private proper-ty with fake blood.

2: Don’t rock cars, climb buses or bang on windows of any kind.

3: Do not litter.4: Stay on the desig-

nated path.5: Obey all traffic

control signs and sig-nals.

6: Do not harass any-one who isn’t enjoying the experience. Not ev-eryone will know what’s going on, or find it as amusing as we will. Don’t touch strangers.

7: No drugs, no alco-hol. The Zombie Walk is outside and we don’t want anyone getting ar-rested for public intoxi-cation.

8: If you see someone else breaking Zombie Walk etiquette politely

remind them not to and save them from them-selves.

“During the event If you see damage being caused or people being hurt please report to event volunteer’s or se-curity staff,” the eti-quette reads.

“Remember the Zombie Walk is a highly documented event. Each individual is re-sponsible for their own actions and behaviour. The Zombie Walk is a community event for the whole family.”

Sheppard3rd prize ($125

sponsored by Michael & Jurate Haiduk) – Dream, digital painting by Amy Cornelson

Honorable Mentions ($100 each) – African Safari, epoxy & acrylic panel by Kelly Adolphe; - Reflections of Emma Lake, fabric wall hang-ing by Donna Shep-pard.

Kimberley Arts Council’s visual arts programs committee chair, Linda Douglas, was pleased with this year’s entry in the Arts on the Edge exhibition. “This is the 10th year for the Arts on the Edge show and the standard of work submitted con-tinues to be as high as ever. We are really proud of this annual exhibition which showcases some of the best work from around the Kootenays and be-yond and recognizes the winning artists with substantial cash awards.”

The zombies will walk on schedule for October

The murder was a likely case of mistaken identity. A previous oc-cupant of the property was one of the assailants connected with the Sam Steele Hotel shooting.

The Combined Forc-es Special Enforcement Unit launched an un-dercover investigation — using an undercover agent, a lifelong crimi-nal who agreed to work with the RCMP. At a high level RCMP news conference in Novem-ber, 2010, in Cranbrook, revealed that the feud between the two fac-tions of organized crime in the city was behind four arrests in a complex murder conspiracy case.

“Organized crime is insidious and has no rules, morals, ethics or loyalty. No community is immune, either from the presence of orga-nized crime or the vio-lence that it perpe-trates,” said Sgt. Shinder Kirk of the RCMP Com-bined Forces Special Enforcement Unit in Kelowna (CFSEU) at that conference.

“During the course of this investigation, two innocent victims lost their lives. While we can’t speculate on the motive behind that trag-edy, the intended vic-tim, a 39 year old Cran-brook man, was once an occupant of the home,” said Kirk.

It was believed the double murder has sig-nificant links to orga-nized crime groups and

gangs in southern B.C. and Alberta as well to an outlaw motorcycle group in metro Vancou-ver, he said.

Inspector Brian Ed-mondson, officer in command of the Cran-brook and Kimberley detachments at the time, issued a warning to the criminal gangs operating in Cranbrook.

“This type of activity is unacceptable in our community. I have not only committed re-sources from the Cran-brook detachment, but can also draw on the combined resources from across the prov-ince. This is a message to those that engage in crime that not only do they have to be con-cerned about their ri-vals, but also the united efforts of law enforce-ment.”

The conspiracy to commit murder trial was eventually moved to Kamloops. In the spring of 2013, three Cranbrook men con-victed in the complex murder plot were sen-tenced to terms ranging from five and a half to 12 years. Lonnie Adams, Colin Correia, and Lorne Carry were all convicted by a jury in April, 2013, of counsel-ling to kill rival drug dealer Doug Mahon in 2009.

Carry and Correia were also convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, while Adams was acquitted on that

count.In August, 2014,

RCMP reported that crime was down in all areas in Cranbrook. In a presentation before Cranbrook City Council, Sgt. Brendan McKenna said that of particular note, the drug file charges which were sig-nificantly less in this particular quarter com-pared to the previous quarter in 2013. It shows that is is down 68 per cent, from 19 charges in 2013 to six charges in 2014.

“From my conversa-tion with the corporal in charge of that drug en-forcement unit that’s been active here for a couple of years says that essentially most of this is due to the fact that the bigger players have been removed from the street and locked up,” he said. “So this really shows the effect of crime reduction in that area.”

Corporal Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP recently told Kimberley council that drug activity was also down in that communi-ty, thanks to efforts of local RCMP.

In Vancouver last week, Hackett said he was optimistic the CF-SEU’s edgy End Gang Life campaign (endgan-glife.ca) will help per-suade more gang mem-bers to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead.

PAGE 6 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

If the Scots vote “yes” to independence on September 18, as one opinion poll now suggests they will, three things are likely to happen in the following week.

First, David Cameron may cease to be the leader of the Conservative Party and the prime minister of the United Kingdom. He would be removed by his own Conser-vative members of parliament, who would hold him responsible for allowing the break-up of a very successful union that has lasted 307 years.

Secondly, the British pound would start to fall against other currencies, not be-cause Scottish indepen-dence would necessarily be an economic disaster for the rest of the United King-dom, but because the mar-kets hate uncertainly.

To prevent a serious de-cline of the pound, the Brit-ish government would have to act on its pre-referendum warnings that a post-independence Scottish government could not have any say in managing the currency. Nobody can stop the Scots from using the pound if they want (and the “Yes” campaigners say they will), but they would be using it the same way that Pana-ma and Liberia use the US dollar. No con-trol over interest rates or anything else.

And thirdly, Spain would block auto-matic membership in the European Union for an independent Scotland (perhaps with support from some other EU mem-bers). Maybe Scotland could become a member eventually, but at least it would have to join the end of the queue for mem-bership and go through years of convolut-ed negotiations. And it would have to ac-cept the euro as its currency.

The Spanish government has already said it would insist on this, because the Spanish province of Catalonia is holding its own (unauthorised) referendum on in-

dependence in November. Madrid has veto power, and it is determined to show that breaking up an existing EU country is not easy or painless.

On the other hand, it would not be like South Sudan or East Timor: there would be no bloodshed and no refugees. Some busi-nesses, particularly banks, would move their head offices from Scotland to En-gland, but in five or ten years the Scots would stop blaming England for all their problems and start blaming their own pol-iticians. And the English would simply have forgotten Scotland.

The right question in this situation, therefore, is not “What will happen if...?” Nothing very extreme would happen, although Scotland is unlikely to enjoy the economic and cultural boom that First Minister Alex Salmond,

who called the referendum on indepen-dence, frequently predicts. The better question is “How did it end up like this?”

How did a country that has shared a monarch with England since the early 1600s, and freely joined a union with the rest of the “United Kingdom” in 1707 (al-though there was a lot of political jig-gery-pokery involved, as was normal at that time), end up on the brink of leaving the Union in 2014?

Scotland shared in Britain’s wars, and Scottish emigrants settled in all of Britain’s colonies. The Scots had their industrial revolution almost as early as England and far ahead of the rest of Europe. They played a large part in managing the British em-pire, and profited immensely from it.

Post-industrial Scotland has its de-prived inner-city areas, just as England does, but the two countries have pretty much the same standard of living. Scot-land always kept its own legal and educa-

tional systems, and for the past 16 years it has had its own elected parliament and government, with powers comparable to those of a US, Indian or Australian state. So what’s wrong with this picture?

The real grievance that fuels Scotland’s independence movement is the fact that Britain keeps electing governments that are either explicitly Conservative or (like Tony Blair’s three terms in office) conser-vative in all but name. They take Britain into stupid foreign wars, and they impose austerity on ordinary British people while looking after the rich.

Scots see themselves as being more so-cially conscious and more egalitarian, and there is some truth in that view. (Only one of Scotland’s 59 members of the British Parliament is a Conservative.) So the “Yes” campaign argues that the only way to avoid perpetual rule by Margaret Thatcher clones in London is to break away and build a separate Scottish state.

That argument is getting a lot of traction in Scotland at the moment, and voting in-tentions have swung from 61 percent for No and 39 percent for Yes in early August to a knife-edge (49 percent No, 51 percent Yes) in one of this week’s polls. The other recent polls still show a small advantage for the Noes, but it could go either way.

If it goes Yes, then the change is forever, and everybody will just have to live with it. But since Scotland’s current dissatisfaction with the Union is mainly about the politi-cal colour of recent British governments, a No to independence might also be perma-nent. A couple of genuinely left-wing Brit-ish governments and a strong economic recovery (which is actually happening), and the whole thing might blow over.

Tre vor Cr awleyLocal residents will

get a chance to voice their opinion on the pro-vincial riding borders when the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion rolls through Cran-brook in October.

““Now is the time to have your say and shape your province,” said Commission Chair Jus-tice Tom Melnick. “This democratic process is a unique opportunity for British Columbians to provide their views about how their com-munities are represent-ed geographically in the Legislative Assembly.”

The Commission will start touring through the province on Sept. 22 to visit 29 com-munities across the province to hear views,

receive presentations and submissions. The commission will be in Cranbrook on Tuesday, Oct. 7th at 7 p.m. at St. Eugene Mission Resort.

Input received from the tour will help form the commission’s pre-liminary report to the legislature assembly, which they are mandat-ed to submit before May 2015. Once the prelimi-nary report has been published, British Co-lumbians will have more opportunity to provide further feedback on pro-posed provincial elec-toral district areas, boundaries and names.

For more informa-tion about the commis-sion or current electoral district maps, visit www.bc-ebc.ca.

T r e vo r C r aw l e yEverybody loves a

smile.Especially when it’s

on a cookie. Tim Hortons is kick-

ing off their annual week-long Smile Cook-ie campaign on Mon-day with 100 per cent of proceeds going towards the Cranbrook Heath Care Auxilary and the

East Kootenay Founda-tion for Health.

“The Smile Cookie campaign has continu-ously been successful year after year thanks to our loyal guests for their kindness and sup-port,” said Matt Gareau, owner of Tim Hortons in Cranbrook. “We are honoured to support the Auxilary and Foun-

dation with all of the proceeds raised and to share smiles with all our dedicated guests. Stop by a restaurant this week and purchase your freshly baked Smile Cookie to sup-port a great cause!”

This year’s cam-paign will go towards toe purchase of a glide-scope for the regional

hospital’s HART (High Acuity Response Team) program, which oper-ates out of the emer-gency ward at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. A glidescope video laryngoscope will provide a consistently clear airway view rou-tine and difficult air-ways, enabling quick intubation.

Over the last eight years, over $65,000 has been raised in Cran-brook through the Smile Cookie campaign for the EKRH. Created as a fundraiser in On-tario in 1996, the Smile Cookie campaign has raised $5 million in Canada and the U.S., supporting over 500 charities.

We began the day at St. Eugene Mission watch the exciting start — each group 10 minutes apart — then went to the Platzl in Kimberley to watch as the riders went through.

We cheered for all the riders (a little louder when the Rebels went by) and then back to the beautiful setting of St. Eugene Mission Resort to wait as riders came in.

My great-grandson and his cousin, both 12 years old, were in the top 10 of the first finishers of the Piccolo. They were ahead of their mothers. Then the Medio riders and

the Gran Fondo riders, who included two of my grandsons and a grandson-in-law.

It was a wonderful day. I heard many of the cyclists comment on how safe and or-ganized the route was.

I would like to commend the organiz-ers, the sponsors, and the many volunteers that made the day such a success. As a long-time resident of Cranbrook I will say it is one more event that Cranbrook can be proud of.

Icy weekend in The PassThe Kootenay Ice closed out the WHL pre-season in Crowsnest Pass this weekend

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Kootenay Ice goaltender Keelan Williams gets taken out by Lethbridge Hurricanes forward Michal Holub Friday night in the Crowsnest Pass. Williams recovered on the play and combined with Jayden Sittler to post a 27-save shutout as the Ice blanked the Hurricanes 2-0. The Calgary Hitmen spoiled the weekend, claiming a 4-1 victory Sunday afternoon.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice closed out the 2014 WHL pre-season, split-ting a pair of games in

Crowsnest Pass, Alta. over the weekend.

The Ice blanked the Lethbridge Hurricanes 2-0 Friday night before stumbling Sunday after-noon, falling 4-1 to the

Calgary Hitmen. The weekend results leave the Ice with a 1-4-0 re-cord through WHL pre-season play.

“I thought we had some okay looks in their

zone, but we need to be way more competitive on loose pucks,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill following Sunday’s loss to Calgary.

Compete level has been a common con-cern for McGill as his squad navigated through pre-season play. After suffering three consecu-tive losses in Kennewick, Wa. last weekend, the coach wanted to see more hunger from his boys through practice this past week. Accord-ing to assistant coach Jay Henderson, the coach-ing staff was happy with what they saw heading into this weekend’s pre-season wrap in the Crowsnest Pass.

“It’s a learning curve, it’s a process,” McGill said in regards to his team’s compete level. “We’ve got guys coming back from pro camp and they understand what’s expected from them.

“We’ll evaluate the five [pre-season] games and who we think is the best group of 18 skaters will play on Friday night [against the Red Deer Rebels]. We’re going to have some extra bodies around and that hope-fully brings out the com-petitiveness of the group.”

As has been a focus since the beginning of training camp, goaltend-ing was once again in the

spotlight this weekend. Friday night, it was a

27-save combined effort by Jayden Sittler and Keelan Williams that led the Ice to a 2-0 shutout of the Lethbridge Hurri-canes. Sunday after-noon, it was a shaky first period from Wyatt Hof-lin that helped the Cal-gary Hitmen get past the Ice 4-1.

Kootenay’s veteran goaltender surrendered four goals in the first pe-riod, including three goals in a three-minute span. The native of Spruce Grove, Alta. turned aside 12 of the 16 shots he faced Sunday.

Calgary defenceman Jake Bean started the barrage 4:17 into the opening frame. On the very next shift, forward Landon Welykholowa piled on 33 seconds later, knocking a re-bound past Hoflin for a 2-0 Hitmen advantage.

To make matters worse, Ice defenceman Dylan Overdyk was sent off for hooking less than two minutes after We-lykholowa’s marker. It didn’t take long for the Hitmen to cash in. Vet-eran forward Mike Win-ther delivered one final crushing blow, skating in all alone and deposit-ing the puck past a help-less Hoflin.

Ice forward Austin Wellsby tallied his sec-ond goal of the pre-sea-

son Sunday afternoon against Calgary. The 17-year-old from Chilli-wack, B.C. mixed things up Friday night as well, getting involved physi-cally when he dropped the mitts, going toe-to-toe with Lethbridge Hurricanes defenceman Thomas Lenchyshyn.

“He’s still got a lot to learn,” McGill said Fri-day night. “He stuck his nose in there and he did a good job with that, but we’d like to take a little more hesitation out of his game. We’d like to see him just go and get in on the forecheck without hesitating and looking around.

“He thinks the game real well. We just need him to play a little more on instincts.”

Just as quickly as Kootenay jumped on the board, Calgary re-stored the three-goal gap Sunday. Karnauk-hov made up for his ear-lier blunder by tallying his fourth goal of the pre-season to give the Hitmen a 4-1 lead a little more than two minutes after Wellsby’s marker.

Though he didn’t find a way on to the scoresheet Sunday af-ternoon, Moscow native Alexander Chirva was a noticeable presence for Kootenay. The 18-year-old forward finished checks, danced with the puck and drove the net

hard Sunday afternoon after registering one as-sist Friday night.

“He’s getting there,” McGill said of the 33rd overall selection from the 2014 CHL Import Draft. “I think he can shoot the puck more. [Sunday] was a really good sign of him getting involved and now we just need to get him in-side the dots in the of-fensive zone.

“He’s improved all through camp.”

Chirva finished pre-season play with two assists and a minus-three rating in five contests.

After playing two games in three days, the Ice will take Monday off before preparing for the opening of the WHL regular season.

With eight players at-tending NHL training camps and 22 bodies on the active roster, the Ice are not expected to make any immediate person-nel changes. According to McGill, hockey opera-tions staff will meet as players are re-assigned to Cranbrook from re-spective NHL camps. From there, decisions will be made as to who stays and who goes.

The Ice open the WHL regular season Sept. 19 when they visit the Red Deer Rebels. The team will then travel to Edmonton to face the Oil Kings Sept. 20.

Nitros edge Thunder Cats in KIJHL openerDynamite third period leads Kimberley past Creston Valley Saturday night at Civic Centre

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Dynamiters Jordan Roy battles in the face-off circle with Creston Valley’s Carson Cartwright. Roy would score the game-winning goal later in the third period as the Nitros defeated the Thunder Cats 4-2.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The Kimberley Dy-namiters used a third-period comeback to edge the Creston Val-ley Thunder Cats 4-2 to open the 2014 KIJHL regular season at the Kimberley Civic Centre Saturday night.

“We were a little ner-vous at the start,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks following the game. “The second period, [Creston Valley] won a lot of puck battles and kind of outplayed us.

“In the third period, we responded really well and we were the team that we need to be.”

Kimberley product Jordan Roy broke in alone with 8:34 to play, sliding a backhand shot past Creston Valley goaltender Brock Lefeb-vre to give the Nitros a 3-2 lead that would hold through the end of the final frame.

“I got a nice pass from [Jason] Richter and was lucky to pop it five-hole,” Roy said Saturday night. “It was nice to get the first goal out of the way.”

The 16-year-old

Nitro returned to Kim-berley after spending some time in Kenne-wick, Wa. at training camp with the Tri-City Americans. The Kim-berley native is looking forward to a strong sea-son here at home and is doing his best to stay fo-cused on employing a strong work ethic.

Roy’s tally capped a third-period Kimberley comeback that started when forward Austin Hancherow made good on a turnover in Creston Valley territory. Han-cherow walked in all alone on Lefebvre, bury-ing a wrist shot blocker side to tie the game 2-2.

Marco Campanella added an insurance marker with 6.9 seconds to play, icing the win for the Dynamiters.

“It’s great to have Jor-dan and Coy [Prevost] back,” Bancks said. “They both played ex-tremely well tonight. They obviously have some things to learn but they’re big, strong, pow-erful kids. They’re as strong as 20-year-olds and they proved it out there tonight. They won a lot of battles.

“It’s great to help them try to move along to the next level. I know

they’re both hoping to play in the Western League in the future. It’s our responsibility to help them along the way.”

Creston Valley ended Kimberley’s post-season in Game 7 of the second round of the KIJHL play-offs last year. This was the first time the two teams met since.

“In this league, every game is going to be a big win,” Bancks said. “I didn’t want them to focus a whole lot on what took place last year. It was a pretty neg-ative final end to the season. I just wanted them to control what we can control. I know deep down inside the guys wanted to take it to them, so it was nice that we did it.”

The Thunder Cats got out to a quick start in the first period. De-fenceman Austen Steger threw a harmless look-ing shot towards the net from the left point that caught Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brou-wer by surprise. The shot eluded the Nitros netminder to give Cres-ton Valley an early 1-0 advantage.

Jason Richter re-sponded shortly there-

after for the home team, wiring a wrist shot home on the power play.

Jaret Bordt deflected a shot from the point late in the second peri-od to break a 1-1 tie, giving the Thunder Cats a 2-1 lead heading into

the final frame.Brouwer made 30

saves on 32 shots to claim the victory for the Dynamiters.

Lefebvre stopped 25 of 28 shots in the loss for the Thunder Cats.

The Dynamiters will

look to make it two wins in a row to start the reg-ular season when they host the Columbia Val-ley Rockies Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll speak your mind as you typically do, yet your tone could motivate others to take action. Make sure your information is correct. You might want to move in a new direction be-cause of a partner. Deal with this person directly. Tonight: Don’t hold back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of what is going on within you. You will gain a new perspective if you slow down. Follow your instincts. New in-formation comes forward that could cause you to reorganize your plans. Relax and get past the immediate issue. Tonight: Keep stress levels low. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll flourish despite someone else’s attempt to put you down. You understand the relevance of this behavior and how to bypass it. You could be challenged by a friend who acts in a most unex-pected way. Tonight: Do what would make you most happy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take your time in how you deal with someone and the choices you make. You will need to take your time and look within your-self in order to find the right answer. Don’t allow someone’s attitude to distract you. Decide if taking action is necessary. To-night: Keep an easy pace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll be able to visualize a good idea and then make it a reality. One person inevitably will give you flak, but the ma-jority of people will support you. News from a distance could surprise you. Resist a tendency to be fussy. Tonight: Let it all hang out, even if it is Monday! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll have a tendency to feel overconfident -- that is, until you have a discussion with someone you look up to. Use this conversation to clarify your views and understand others. Defer to someone who might be more creative and diplomatic. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Use your ability to stay above

the fray. Take a complete over-view of an event that might have caused a difficult situation. This perspective will be needed when dealing with a key person in your life. You could be taken aback by a loved one. Tonight: Opt to make a change. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to listen to news with a bit of cynicism. Just because someone says a situation is a certain way does not mean it is; that person’s per-ception simply defines the mat-ter in that way. Decide to gain your own perspective. Tonight: Togetherness works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to ease some of today’s tension. Detach from an immediate situation, rather than add to your stress level. Sometimes you need to back off and give a situation or others a break. Tonight: Share with a dear friend or loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep an even pace, and attempt to see how you can delegate certain tasks, or find a shortcut. Use your leadership skills and

efficiency to head down a new path -- not only for you, but for others as well. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past. Tonight: Happy at home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness might not work with friend who has a sol-emn attitude. Be smart, and try to avoid this situation. If possi-ble, take off in the evening and do something just for you. Al-low greater give-and-take with a child or new friend. Tonight: Let loose! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Relate to others directly, and avoid getting involved in any gossip. Your personal touch will make all the difference in your dealings. A family member might want your attention. Rec-ognize that you need to focus on your priorities. Tonight: Enjoy being home. BORN TODAY Prince Harry of England (1984), actor Tom Hardy (1977), actor Tommy Lee Jones (1946) ***

Dear Annie: I met the man of my dreams at the workplace. At the time, I was in an abu-sive marriage and had given up all hope, and then I met “Howard.” Here’s the problem: Howard is 45, still lives in his parents’ basement and works from home. He doesn’t pay rent or utilities, although when he gets a paycheck, he gives his mother some money. On the other hand, my daughter and I have our own place. We make ends meet. Howard bought me a lap-top for my birthday and a bedroom set for my apartment, has fixed my car and recently put new tires on it. He has done so much for me, and I am grateful. But because he still lives with his parents, it limits what we can do. He says he is obligated to his mother, daughter and grandchildren. His job sends him on extend-ed trips to other countries where he some-times spends four months at a time. He says this job looks good on his resume. I am also aware that Howard has a drug ad-diction, and I hate it with a passion. We drink together, and it’s all a fun thing, but then he gets forgetful and confuses me with some of the other women he’s been with. When I ask whom he’s talking about, he starts yelling that it was before we dated. I trust him, but I don’t know how to do things by degrees. All of my heart belongs to him. Am I being selfish, or is this man so com-fortable where he is that I come in second? -- Need Your Opinion Dear Need: We were ready to overlook the fact that Howard still lives with his par-ents and doesn’t pay rent, but then we got to “drug addiction.” And he gets drunk and yells at you, not to mention he’s away from home for months at a time. Please don’t go from the frying pan into the fire. Howard has been generous, but that doesn’t make him such a great catch. Please take some time to be on your own and learn to navigate life without a man’s help. You need to develop a better guidance system. Dear Annie: You printed a letter about those who cannot have gluten. What about those of us who prepare a dinner only to have a seated guest request something other than what’s available because they want a gluten-free meal? In this particular case, the guest was staying with us for an additional two days, so we needed to do more shopping to accommodate her. My grandson has a severe peanut allergy. My daughter always announced the prob-lem when he was invited out, and now that he is 20, he has no problem asking for infor-mation regarding food before it is placed in front of him. Why don’t people tell the hosts these things at the time they accept the invi-tation? -- Joan in California Dear Joan: No one should wait until the last second. It’s inconsiderate. Those with a food issue, whether allergies, gluten intolerance, vegan, etc., should not expect their hosts to jump through hoops for them. If they wish to be accommodated, they should mention the issue in advance. Otherwise, they need to deal with whatever is served. Of course, these days, a careful host should inquire whether the guests have any food require-ments at the time of the invitation so there are no surprises. Dear Annie: Your reply to “The Old Fool,” about his wife’s lack of interest in lovemak-ing due to hormonal changes, was right on the mark. But he’s not a fool. He deserves a pat on the back for not accusing his wife of having an affair. I wish my husband were that sensible. -- Wife of a Fool Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Part One of TwoHi Wendy:Every time I see

your article in the newspaper I often think I should contact you for a reading. So today is the day.

I have longstanding marital concerns and would like to know once and for all if I am with the right partner. My feeling is that we are to-gether because of our past karma and maybe I need to suck it up. I real-ly wonder what hap-pened and why we are together now. I waver between staying and leaving but I am over-come with feelings of guilt. I know guilt is a useless feeling but I can’t help myself. Could you shed some light on this for me? I have learned to compromise and for the most part I am trying to make it work the best I can. I’d also like to know if we would sell our house this year and move on to a better future. I do be-lieve that all that hap-pens in one’s life is for the greater good; but when you are down it’s hard to see that.

Me Myself

Dear Me Myself:I am going to con-

duct this letter like I am doing a reading at home with a client. Then we will discuss a few state-ments that you made in your email to us that may help you along on your journey with this issue. Please realize as this session is being re-layed to you and the comments given after the session bears no judgement on our be-half.

Q 1. Is this woman with the right partner for her on this plane in this lifetime, at this time? A. Yes

Q 2 Is she with this man because of past life karmic debt that she owes him? A. Yes

Q 3 Will they sell their house in 2014? A. Yes

Q 4 After they sell their house will they move on to a better fu-ture together. A. No

Q 5 Did this couple have good past lives to-gether. A. No. The rea-son for this is because lifetime after lifetime

they have had control is-sues with each other. They are always com-peting against one an-other and they basically don’t trust themselves so how can they trust each other. Again, they have created much hurt feelings with each other in this lifetime as with the other lifetimes. She is not learning the les-sons.

Q 6 Does her hus-band try to compromise with her in the relation-ship? A. No, he has a tendency to manipulate her rather than to com-promise with her.

Q 7 Does she try to compromise with him in the relationship? A. Just a little bit. This re-lationship she has with this man is a learning lesson she must ac-knowledge if she is to stop having lifetime after lifetime of karmic issues with him. Unfor-tunately, neither is will-ing to learn thus far in this lifetime. However, she is starting to ob-serve and acknowledge that there is something definitely happening here karmically with this man and her when it comes to their rela-tionship. That is a good thing for her and per-haps she will seek the help she needs in this lifetime with this man to stop this from hap-pening in the next life-time.

Q 8 Is she happy at all in her relationship with this man at this time. A. No

Q 9 Is he happy at all in his relationship with this woman at this time. A. No

Q 10 Why are they staying together if they are not happy? Both as in past lifetimes are in-secure to leave the rela-tionship and in this life-time it is because of monetary reasons as well for the both of them.

Q 11 So they are stay-ing in the relationship basically because of monetary reasons? A. Yes isn’t that the reason

a good majority of peo-ple use when they don’t want to improve or learn the lessons on this plane. One excuse is just as good as another I suppose and money seems to be the ruling

issue or the ruling ex-cuse in such cases of these relationships. Hence both parties are frozen in their each indi-vidual fears and cease to learn and grow as sepa-rate individuals.

What I have gathered from this session and what my guides are re-laying to me is that you are with this man to learn and when you have learned you will leave. If you do not achieve this goal then you will stay with him till the next lifetime comes and try to learn the les-sons again with him.

You also tell us that you are overcome with feelings of guilt if you leave. Then in the next breath you say you know guilt is a useless feeling but you can’t help your-self. Your next lesson is you are acting and talking like a victim when you state this.

You are a victim of your own unhappiness because you do not want to work on yourself and try to make the few years you have left on this plane happy ones. You want to blame it on kar-mic debt instead of seek-ing and growing as an individual on how to solve your karmic debt. You are miserable and depressed with yourself because your soul cries out for you to be your authentic self.

Just because you are learning what you need to learn does not mean that you have to or you must leave this man you are living with. It means you will be in more har-mony with yourself and those around you and you will not be living in unhappiness and mis-trust within yourself. This is about you and your learning lessons. Seek the help you need and learn and grow and start getting some emo-tional control over your life and this is what you need to learn to start on this journey of self-dis-covery.

Submit tedColumbia Basin Trust is ask-

ing residents where it should focus its efforts to best support residents and communities in the Columbia Basin now, and into the future.

The Trust is kicking off a year-long Basin-wide public en-gagement process starting with a series of drop-in community workshops and an interactive engagement website. Called “Our Trust, Our Future,” this process will connect the Trust with residents to find out what’s important to them and build on the input they may have provid-ed in the past.

“We’ll be connecting with Basin residents to reflect and celebrate our collective accom-plishments over the past 20 years, and also to imagine what

the next 20 might look like,” said Greg Deck, Columbia Basin Trust Board Chair. “In the next three to five years the Trust’s revenues are expected to dou-ble. As our delivery of benefits to the region grows, it’s important that residents continue to pro-vide guidance in charting that future.”

The Trust will be reaching out in various ways across the Basin. Expect to find the Trust hosting drop-in community workshops, presenting at community and agency meetings or staffing a booth in a public space. Resi-dents can also send comments by mail or provide their thoughts online. Everyone who partici-pates will have a chance to win $1,000 to donate to a local non-profit of their choice.

“Some residents have already

provided input to us in the past—now we want you to ex-pand on those ideas,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “What’s most important to your commu-nity? What should we do more of? What are your ideas? We hope you will be part of this con-versation and help us shape how we support your efforts now, and into the future.”

For more information about the process and to have your say in person or online, visit ourt-rustourfuture.cbt.org.

Columbia Basin Trust sup-ports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

C anadian PreSSVANCOUVER — A

B.C. Supreme Court judge has settled a score between some Vancouver musicians and their international union.

Discord between the groups first sound-ed more than two years ago when the Vancou-ver Musicians’ Associa-

tion independently ne-gotiated a new gig with a local film orchestra because it feared losing work to non-union shops.

The American Fed-eration of Musicians argued the deal was off key because the associ-ation didn’t have the authority under union bylaws to make the

deal, and dismissed the local executive and ap-pointed a trustee.

The association de-cided to take the matter to court, where it asked a judge to rule the trusteeship a mistake and order the section of bylaw unenforce-able.

Justice Carol Ross has decided that the

controversial rule is in-consistent with the en-tire bylaw, setting aside the trusteeship.

The association rep-resents about 2,000 musicians who have negotiated deals with operas, symphonies and theatres, and the federation has about 240 locals across the continent.

B.C. Supreme Court judge sounds dirge for unionized musicians’ bylaw

tamSyn burgmannCanadian Press

VANCOUVER — Chief nego-tiators were quietly hunkered down for talks as another week without school loomed on the horizon for half-a-million British Columbia school children.

The warring sides in the prov-ince’s protracted teachers’ strike were reticent to reveal details Friday, but the union confirmed its president and the employer’s representative began “discus-sions’’ with a veteran mediator on Thursday.

There was no clarity about the scope or length of the meet-ing between B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration head Jim Iker, negotiator Peter Cameron, for the B.C. Pub-lic Employers’ Association, and Vince Ready, a respected media-tor brought into the dispute ear-lier in the summer.

The government did not con-firm the talks. A spokesman only said the parties have agreed not to comment until there is some-thing to report.

The school year has been de-layed indefinitely as more than

40,000 teachers picket across the province, waiting for their lead-ership and the government to strike an agreement so they can commence classes. Teachers started strike action almost two weeks before the end of the school year in June.

Bargaining has been at a near standstill while both sides at-tempt to gain public support, families grow weary of the dis-pute and many on the picket lines say they yearn to start teaching again.

The government says a union proposal and landslide vote on Wednesday to end the strike with binding arbitration is a non-starter, saying it would re-sult in a tax hike.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender wants a negotiated settlement. Premier Christy Clark said Thursday she is deter-mined to get a conclusion before flying to India on a trade mission on Oct. 9, three days after the legislature resumes.

Fassbender had flatly rejected back-to-work legislation until Thursday, when he softened his

position and said legislation was another option available to gov-ernment.

A coalition of Ontario public school educators donated $100,000 Friday to a growing pot of money being distributed as loans and grants to financially struggling teachers. The contri-bution raised an overall hard-ship fund to nearly $9 million.

Ontario Teachers’ Federation president Rian McLaughlin rep-resents 160,000 teachers, who she said have watched their B.C. counterparts suffer for a long time and want to show their sup-port.

Three affiliates contributed to the donation: the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation.

McLaughlin said there’s an oversupply of qualified teachers in Ontario looking for jobs across the country, and their decisions on where to go will be influenced by what they’re observing in B.C.

Alex Salmond is many things: a gambler with an obsessive eye for the horses, a populist showman equally quick to cause and claim out-rage, an improvisational wit with a cut-throat edge.

And should he tri-umph in Scotland’s in-dependence referen-dum Thursday, Sal-mond would earn a new reputation — as the man who knocked the “Great’’ out of Britain.

The 59-year-old leader of the Scottish National Party says he learned to dream of a better Scotland at his grandfather’s knee, and chose to join the SNP at university in 1973 when his English girlfriend poked too much fun at his separatist senti-ments.

Nobody’s laughing in England now about the rise of Salmond, a high-energy campaign-er who has made a habit of outmanoeuvring op-ponents and rebound-ing strongly from any setback. His focus on independence appears all-consuming as he speaks, a pin of the Scot-tish flag always in his lapel. Even as his words at times careen wildly from the statesmanlike to the bullying, his bushy-browed eyes project equal measures of zeal and glee.

“Salmond has long been the most naturally gifted political perform-

er in these islands,’’ wrote Jonathan Freed-land, a British novelist and columnist, in a 2011 analysis that cannily forecast Salmond’s abil-ity to rally voters behind independence.

Freedland said no rival Scottish politician loomed on the horizon capable of eclipsing Sal-mond: “The more dom-inant he becomes, the more dominant he is likely to remain.’’

Salmond’s academic and professional back-ground prepared him to become Scotland’s most economically optimistic and visionary politician. At St. Andrew’s Univer-sity he double-majored in medieval history, re-flecting his love of a Caledonia lost, and eco-nomics. In his 20s he worked as an economist first for Britain’s region-al government in Scot-land and then at Royal Bank of Scotland, where he analyzed the coun-try’s most dynamic in-dustry, North Sea oil.

He won a seat in the British Parliament in 1987 and within three years was party leader. He supported the Brit-ish government’s plans to create a devolved Scottish parliament in Edinburgh, a 1999 re-form that stopped short of independence but gave his homeland a taste of self-government for the first time since its 1707 union with En-gland.

After being hounded from the Scottish Na-

tional leadership by in-ternal party rivals, Sal-mond came storming back to the top post in 2004. Three years later he led his SNP to a nar-row victory over the long-dominant Labour Party in the Scottish Par-liament.

Unusually, Salmond has always campaigned as a solitary figure. His now 76-year-old wife, Moira, rarely appears in public and the couple had no children.

“Being a politician is one of the greatest jobs there is. Being a politi-cian’s spouse is not,’’ Salmond told a Dundee newspaper, the Courier.

As Scotland’s fledg-ling first minister in

2007, Salmond made a referendum on inde-pendence his grand strategic goal and pre-dicted, to general disbe-lief even from support-ers, it would be won within a decade.

Critics from the three main British parties mocked his indepen-dence demand as impo-tent chest-thumping by a party leader without a majority. Labour, long the party of choice in left-leaning Scotland, calculated that Salmond had taken the SNP as high as it could go.

Yet in the 2011 elec-tion, Salmond’s ul-tra-confident promises of a better future for Scotland by harnessing

its own oil revenues de-livered an overall parlia-mentary majority, a tri-umph at odds with all the mainstream fore-casts. Salmond’s de-mand to hold a popular vote on divorce from England suddenly went from unreachable dream to political reali-ty.

“Scotland has cho-sen to believe in itself. ... We’ve given ourselves the permission to be bold,’’ Salmond de-clared in his victory ad-dress to applause, hol-lers and hearty whistles.

Over the past 18 months of campaigning, Salmond has rarely missed an opportunity to pounce on any mis-

step by the anti-inde-pendence Better To-gether campaign, par-ticularly those voiced in an English accent.

Along the way he has cheekily adopted every Scottish victory as his own, both on the golf course and particularly at the racetrack, where he offers predictions and colour commentary to sports newspapers and broadcasters. At the 2012 Scottish National — the horse race, not the party — he celebrat-ed on air after he backed an underdog, the Scot-trained Merigo, to upset the favourite.

“A Scottish winner for the Scottish National

... and I tipped the win-ner,’’ he beamed to re-porters, while declining to say how much he’d won.

At the Wimbledon tennis tournament last year, as Andy Murray became the first British man to win the compe-tition since 1936 — and the first Scot since 1896 — Salmond somehow found himself sitting di-rectly behind Prime Minister David Camer-on and waving a large Scottish flag. The image irritated Cameron’s Conservatives and ap-peared in every paper. It was all happy coinci-dence, Salmond insist-ed, surely not a deliber-ate stunt.

During two TV de-bates last month, Sal-mond showed his fight-ing mettle and resilien-cy. He lost the first en-counter, fumbling the key question of whether an independent Scot-land could keep the British pound. A few weeks later he trounced the same opponent, Alistair Darling, a for-mer British treasury chief. The next opinion polls showed likely “yes’’ voters running almost neck and neck with sup-porters of the union, then narrowly in the lead for the first time.

“It’s our time, our moment,’’ Salmond said, looking into the camera. “Let’s seize it with both hands.’’

INDIANOLA, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clin-ton returned to Iowa Sunday to pay tribute to the state’s retiring Dem-ocratic senator as antici-pation builds over the possibility of another presidential campaign in 2016.

Clinton and her hus-band, former President Bill Clinton, were to headline Sen. Tom Har-kin’s annual steak fry fundraiser in rural Indi-anola. Sunday’s event was expected to draw

more than 5,000 party activists who form the backbone of Iowa’s pres-idential caucuses every four years. Iowa is tradi-tionally the first state to hold a presidential nom-ination contest, giving its caucuses an early role in winnowing out the field of presidential con-tenders.

Following a summer-time book tour, Clinton was making her biggest campaign splash in 2014 so far, opening a season of fundraising and cam-paigning ahead of the November elections for

Democrats who are try-ing to maintain a Senate majority during Presi-dent Barack Obama’s final two years. The event was serving as a farewell for Harkin, a lib-eral stalwart and former presidential candidate who is retiring after four decades in Congress.

Clinton finished third behind Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards in Iowa’s lead-off presidential caucuses in January 2008, and the former secretary of state has not returned since. Iowa Democrats said

Clinton remained wide-ly popular and predicted she would receive broad support if she chooses to run again.

The Clintons’ arrival offered the possibility of a fresh start for the for-mer New York senator and first lady, whose campaign stumbled in the months leading to the caucuses.

Clinton, who has conferred with Iowa Democrats in recent days, would enter a presidential campaign with a large advantage over potential rivals.

Early polls have shown her leading other Dem-ocrats by wide margins, including Vice-Presi-dent Joe Biden and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

Biden is travelling to Des Moines next week and has not closed the possibility of another campaign while O’Mal-ley has made several vis-its to the state and dis-patched staffers to Iowa this fall.

Clinton has said she expects to decide on an-other campaign early next year.
