FOR THE TOWNSMANIt’s that time of year

when a young buck’s fancy turns to thoughts of …

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Cranbrook’s urban deer herd is very much with us, with all their be-havioural patterns, and we must adapt.

In this spirit, the City of Cranbrook is advising residents and visitors to exercise both caution and common sense this fall, as the autumn deer mating period — the fall rut — begins.

In the weeks leading up to the rut (into No-vember and December) bucks increase their displays of dominance and indirect threats. A dominant buck typical-ly circles a rival with de-

liberate steps; back arched, head low and tail flicking. Bucks can also display dominance by violently thrashing the bushes with their antlers.

“We are into a transi-tion period, where some does with fawns may remain wary and potentially aggressive toward humans with dogs,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communica-tions Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “Now we may also see an in-crease in activity from the local urban buck population.”

Getting up in the deers’ faces comes with its perils at any time — but especially now.

(Conservative Party), Don Johnston (Liberal Party), Wayne Stetski (NDP), and Bill Green (Green Party).

JCI will ask as many questions as the time

permits.  College of the Rockies President and CEO David Walls will be the moderator for the event.

JCI is encouraging all Cranbrook and sur-

rounding area residents to attend the forum and to bring their questions.

The Federal election takes place Oct. 19.

JCI Kootenay is a non-partisan, member-

ship-based non-profit organization com-prised of members aged 19-40 who live and work in the East Kootenay. Our mem-bers believe in the im-

portance of creating positive change within our communities and the world.

Tre vor Cr awleyIt’s not just munici-

pal politicians that get to rub shoulders with provincial and federal counterparts at an an-nual convention in Van-couver.

R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from each of the 29 Re-gional Districts, includ-ing Area Directors from the East Kootenay, are also in the Lower Main-land to meet with pro-vincial ministers and advocate for rural issues at the Union of B.C. Mu-nicipalities conference this week.

For RDEK board chair Rob Gay, there are a few things the RDEK is bringing to the conven-tion, specifically to a few provincial minis-ters.

“These aren’t meet-ings where you sit down and hammer out a deci-sion,” Gay said. “These are 15-minute meet-ings, so basically, you have a chance to make your case…and answer their questions. They kind of nickname it down here ‘speed dat-ing’.

“Often what comes out of it and what we look for is a follow up meeting with a deputy minister or associate deputy minister and they’re always present with the ministers.”

From an RDEK per-spective, a few issues include meeting with appropriate ministers to get an update on the official government po-sition on the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort project as well as the first phase of the West

Representatives from the RDEK and the City of Cranbrook are currently in Vancouver attending the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities con-ference. Pictured left to right: Mike Sosnowski (Area A), Rob Gay (Area C), Tom Shypitka (Cranbrook council), Wendy Booth (Area F), Peter Fassbender (Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development), Gerry Taft (Mayor of Invermere), Gerry Wilkie (Area G) and Ute Juras (Mayor of Canal Flats).

Fernie Servicing and Restructure Project.

Gay also noted plug-ging for assistance to replacing the dam up at Idlewild Park, which was already on the agenda for Cranbrook municipal politicians.

“I think if they hear it from more than one source, it’s helpful too, because they’re getting lobbied from all over the province on differ-ent things, so if we’re consistent in our lob-bies, I think it goes a long way,” Gay said.

In total, the RDEK had eight meetings set up with various govern-ment ministries.

With the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure, Gay want-ed to address traffic is-

sues in the Elk Valley, which can include backups from heavy volume in the summer months. He also wants a few more passing lanes and a light-controlled intersection at the Spar-wood-Elkford junction on Highway 3/93.

In the Columbia Val-ley, there are some ac-cess concerns to Lot 48 at the north end of Co-lumbia Lake, which is an area restricted to ve-hicle access. There is also a meeting set up with the tourism minis-try about a branding and marketing initiative for the region.

Another issue that Gay hopes to address has to do with the Agri-cultural Land Commis-sion.

“The ALR has a sec-tion in their act that al-lows them to delegate the responsibility or the authority for making decisions if a piece of property could be sub-divided within the ALR,” Gay said.

“They can delegate that authority and they have—in our case—done that in the area around Wasa and we’d also like the same au-thority around Fernie, so we’re going to speak to them about that.

“It’s not about taking land in or out of the ALR—that’s not our au-thority—but we could have the authority to subdivide if the land were to stay within the ALR, so we’ll see how that goes.”

“Please give deer plenty of space to move or leave the area. Please do not walk closer to the deer; try and find another route.” Zettel said.

Any acts of deer aggression where public safety is at risk should be re-ported. The City of Cranbrook and the provincial Conservation Officer Service each keep track of these in-stances of aggression.

servation Officer Service, please call 1-877-952-7277.

To report an incident to the City of Cranbrook, please call 250-426-4211 or email [email protected].

The City of Cranbrook has an in-formation brochure, “Living with Urban Deer”, which is available for pick up at City Hall or by download-ing a copy from the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca.

Don’t let the relaxed posture fool you. This buck is in a fightin’ mood.

Logging on private land in the Elk Valley and Flathead Valley is also a concern, he con-tinued.

“We also want to know about private for-est land legislation be-cause some of the pri-

vate forest land in the Elk Valley, some very large sections of land in the Elk Valley and the Flathead Valley, are being logged from one end to the other with no sign of any reforesta-tion, which, on private

land, they can do but we’re not impressed with that because of creeks, wildlife and all the other uses of that property,” Gay said.

The UBCM confer-ence runs all week long in Vancouver.

For The TownsmanA new, three-year

base funding model for community visitor ser-vices centres in Spar-wood, Elkford, Fernie and Cranbrook will en-sure more stable and predictable funding and allow for greater flexibil-ity and innovation.

Destination BC, the province’s industry-led destination marketing organization, has an-nounced the three-year base funding model for the 108 community visi-tor centres it helps sup-

port following extensive consultation with the community visitor ser-vices centre network.

The strategy in-cludes a new minimum base funding of $10,000 annually for the next three years for small and rural community visitor centres as well as an in-novation fund available in 2016 to assist com-munities with projects that help them adapt to the changing needs and expectations of visitors, including through the use of technology.

This is a positive in-crease for rural and small communities across B.C. and ac-knowledges their ongo-ing contributions to the tourism industry.

“Our government is committed to providing quality, world-class ser-vices for travellers and visitors to B.C.,” Koote-nay East MLA Bill Ben-nett said. “This new, sta-ble base funding over the next three years will help ensure better long-term planning for East Kootenay communi-

ties.”As a key sector in the

BC Jobs Plan, tourism is an important economic driver in the province.

B.C.’s tourism sector is strong and growing, which is good news in light of fierce global competition for tourists. In 2013, the tourism in-dustry generated $13.9 billion in revenue and a direct contribution to B.C.’s gross domestic product of $7.3 billion, accounting for four per cent of the province’s total GDP.

1902Corset wearer … The editor

of the Rossland Miner is kick-ing against the latest fashion edict that decrees that a change is to be made in the shape of the corset. What is the use of kicking? If you wear a corset, old man, you must wear the kind fashion dictates.

Skinned by a chinaman ... “Joe,” a celestial with honest eves and a smooth tongue, who could talk good pigeon English, has left town and sev-eral have good cause to regret their confidence in the “poor Chinaman.” Joe was a natural born liar, and lucky in the ex-treme. When it suited his pur-

pose he could “no sabe” to perfection and when it came the other way he could “sabe” anything. He accumulated a good bunch of debts, and then borrowed money from several of his countrymen, and with a smile that was child-like and bland faded from sight. There is weeping and wailing among the pigtails now, and the best Chinaman in the colony, couldn’t borrow money from another to buy a cake of laun-dry soap.

Narrow escape ... Last Sat-urday little Graham King came near drowning. A barrel had been placed near the back steps to catch rain water and the recent rains had nearly filled it. Little Graham was playing on the steps and, it is supposed, tried to look into the barrel. The nurse girl in pass-ing a rear window looked out and saw him head first in the

barrel. She screamed in her fright and Mrs. King realizing what had happened hurried out and rescued the boy. It was just in time, for already he was purple in the face. Mrs. King resorted to active measures and by rolling him violently soon had him on the road to recovery and in a little while he was all right. It was a narrow escape and a great shock to the mother.

New kind of bird dog ... Last Tuesday E, J. Peltier and Chas Armstrong went up to the lakes on St. Marys prairie shooting. They had borrowed a well-bred bird dog to get their ducks, but when they had dropped a number the dog refused to go after them. This, of course, placed them in a dilemma, but Mr. Peltier was equal to the oc-casion. Throwing off his clothes, he took Mr. Arm-strong’s horse and started for

the center of the lake. Hanging onto the horse’s mane, he made the animal swim from duck to duck, and in this way gathered in all the game they had shot. It was a novel scheme, and one that very few would have resorted to.

Coming up … The Fall race meeting of the Cranbrook Turf and Athletic Association to be held on October 27, promises to be one of great interest. There will be among other events a “free for all trot”, an event which should attract much attention as everyone in the district who owns a trotter will enter. Anything with four legs can be entered for this race, even a clothes horse. Tom Wellman is making prepara-tions to enter some of his well-known horses in the different running events.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

See IT HAPPENED, page 15

Page 6: Cranbrook Daily Townsman, September 23, 2015

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2015

You know who I wouldn’t want to be this week? Martin Winterkorn. Who is that, you ask? Mr. Winterkorn is the CEO of Volkswa-gen. It seems the company that produces Das Auto has tampered with das emissions tests.

Back in the 1990s, Volkswagen came up with a nifty ad campaign using the word Fahrvergnugen. “Fahrvergnügen” means “driving enjoyment” in English (from fahren, “to drive,” and vergnügen, “enjoyment”). One of the tag lines incorporating the word was: “Fahrvergnügen: It’s what makes a car a Volkswagen”.

But now it seems that another thing that makes a car a Volkswagen is adding software that allows cars to ace emissions tests, when in reality the cars had nowhere near the same read-ings under normal use. In some cases, the vehicles would be emitting as much as 40 times the allowable pollution limit, despite having passed official emissions tests with flying colours.

Perhaps the next ad campaign can utilize the word “Fahrbetrügen,” which translates to “driving cheat”.

In any event, it’s not a good week to be chair of Volkswagen. Mr. Winterkorn has had to face the press and say that he is “endlessly sorry.” I bet he is. According to several news sources, Mr. Winterkorn was just about to sign a new two-year contract to continue as

CEO before the scandal broke. D’oh! Now rumour has it that the guy from Porsche, Matthias Mueller, will take over the driver’s seat, while poor old Martin drives off into the sunset. “Fahrentehrten.” “Driving disgraced“.

Speaking of driving, the clown car carry-ing the Republican candidates for President of the United States is down a couple of clowns, as Scott Walker has thrown in the towel and dropped out of the race. As one

pithy observer on the web noted, ‘now he can return to Wisconsin and con-centrate on ruining just one state’.

Walker of course, gained re-cent notoriety for

suggesting a wall should be built on the Cana-dian border to keep illegal immigrants out of the States. I’m sure they will miss such a quality candidate.

Also recently dropping out of the race was Texas governor Rick Perry, whose sole plat-form seemed to be ‘these dark-rimmed glass-es make me look smarter’. Which they did not, as he proved every time he opened his mouth.

The U.S. presidential race so far — Fahr-Dorf Idioten. Driving a village of idiots.

But up here in Canada, we have a definite

three way race. a drei-wege-rennen. I’ll leave it to you whether you want to carry on with the fahren. In any event, Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair are locked in a pretty tight race, and so far the Canadian public is treating it all with a collective yawn. It could be that compared with the colourful characters running in the U.S., our lot is just not exciting enough. Though their political philosophies are quite different, not one of the Canadian party leaders has called immi-grants ‘rapists’ or touted a foreign affairs pol-icy consisting of ‘it’s China’s fault’. No one has said a Muslim could not be Prime Minister, or that women should not be allowed to serve in combat because of ‘the emotions involved’ or ‘liberals are to blame for California’s drought’.

With expectations of those kind of crazy utterances, audiences for the Republican de-bates have been huge. Or ‘yooge’ as candidate Trump would say.

In Canada, more people watched an epi-sode of Masterchef than the first leaders’ de-bate. Forget Fahrvergnugen. To the average Canadian, this federal election campaign has been Fahren mit langeweile. Driving with boredom.

C’mon. Someone say something stupid.

Brandon Wheat KingsPerry Bergson

Brandon Sun

Last season: 53-11-4-4, First in the WHL. Lost to Kelowna in WHL final.

Head coach/GM: Kelly McCrim-mon (13th season).

Assistant coaches: Darren Ritchie (ninth season), David Anning (fourth season), Matt Cockell (goalie coach, seventh season).

Key losses: Former captain Peter Quenneville, (27g, 48a in regular season); five-year veteran D Eric Roy (45 points in 66 games; D Reid Gow (17 points in 50 games); F Morgan Klimchuk (50 points in 33 games with Brandon), who is expected to play pro at 20; D Ryan Pilon, 19, who left the team in training camp.

The 20-year-olds: The WHL’s third-leading scorer last season, F Tim McGauley, D Macoy Erkamps, D Colton Waltz, F Quintin Lisoway and Latvian F Rihards Bukarts.

The imports: It’s complicated. D Ivan Provorov, 18, of Russia returns if the Philadelphia Flyers don’t keep him; The Calgary Flames may send D Oliver Kylington, 18, of Sweden, to Brandon. F Dario Winkler, 18, of Austria, and Bukarts are seeking a spot.

Key returnees: Forwards Mc-

Gauley, Jayce Hawryluk, 19, John Quenneville, 19, and Nolan Patrick, 17, will pace an attack that led the WHL last season with 340 goals. G Jordan Papirny played 78 games in-cluding playoffs; his save percentage rose from .910 to .921 in the playoffs.

New faces: 2014 No. 1 overall pick, F Stelio Mattheos, 16, is set to play full-time after getting into 10 regular-sea-son and playoff games last season.

Watch for: Provorov and highly touted D Kale Clague, 17, played to-

gether in two pre-sea-son games and were dynamic. Braylon Shmyr, Reid Duke, Tyler Coulter and Tanner Kaspick could make offensive gains.

N o t e w o r t h y : Brandon could lose four of its top eight scorers and could still

be one of the league’s top offensive teams. They return up to 10 players who had 10 goals or more.

Did you know: Since missing the playoffs four times from 1988-92, the Wheat Kings have since had an early exit only twice.

The prognosis: The Wheat Kings were built to win this season. With a potent offence and a top goaltender, the team has the talent to win a sec-ond straight East Division pennant and contend for the title.

RegINa PaTSgreg Harder

Regina Leader-Post

Last season: 37-24-5-6, second in East Division, lost in second round.

Head coach-GM: John Paddock (second season).

Assistant coach-assistant GM: Dave Struch (10th season in WHL, second with Pats).

Assistant coaches: Brad Herauf (first), Rob Muntain (goalies, fifth).

Key losses: LW Bra-den Christoffer, RW Pavel Padakin and C Patrick D’Amico (all graduated).

The 20-year-olds: D Colby Williams, LW Tay-lor Cooper, LW Aaron Macklin and G Daniel Wapple.

The imports: Two Russian D-men - sopho-more Sergey Zborovskiy and rookie Nikolai Knyzhov.

Key returnees: Wapple’s status as a top-flight starter will be taxed be-hind one of the WHL’s youngest line-ups ... His saving grace is a relatively battle-tested defence led by three NHL draft picks: Williams, Zborovskiy and Connor Hobbs … Up front, line-mates Austin Wagner and Adam Brooks - a breakout combo in 2014-15 – need to maintain their recent trajec-tory … Brooks provides a strong one-two punch up the middle with Sam Steel, an up-and-coming star … Coo-

per is a vital wing man given the team’s lack of veteran scoring punch.

New faces: RW Lane Zablocki, 17, joined a cast of promising rookies this summer when he was acquired from Prince George for LW Jesse Gabrielle … Power forward Aaron Macklin, 20, was picked up Monday from Prince George for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2016 … Undrafted LW Riley Woods, 17, spurned NCAA offers to stay home in Regina, where he was a star last season with the midget AAA Pat Canadians.

Watch for: The Pats’ inexperience to show without Cooper and Wil-liams, both of whom could miss significant time due to injuries.

Noteworthy: Regina had a league-high five players selected in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft: Zborovskiy (third round),

Gabrielle (fourth), Wagner (fourth), Hobbs (fifth) and Williams (sixth). Brooks received a free-agent tryout with the New York Rangers.

Did you know: Without Cooper and Williams, Regina is down to just two of its top eight scorers from last season: Brooks and Steel.

The prognosis: The Pats have tal-ent but lack experience, which sug-gests they should finish better than they start. If the team can keep head above water early, a playoffs spot is realistic.

SWIFT CURReNT BRONCOSTaylor rocc a

Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Last season: 34-33-1-4, third in East Division, eliminated in four games by Regina Pats in first round of playoffs

Head coach: Mark Lamb (sev-enth season as coach/GM)

Assistant coaches: Jamie Heward (fourth season), Ryan Smith (first season)

Key losses: C/LW Colby Cave (35G, 40A) and LW Coda Gordon (25G, 36A) age out, C Jay Merkley (17G, 23A) opts for CIS over 20-year-old campaign, D Dillon Heatherington (Columbus Blue Jackets) and D Brett Lernout (Montreal Canadiens) expected to turn pro.

The 20-year-olds: G Landon Bow, D Griffin Foulk, C Scott Feser

The imports: Swedish RW Andreas Schumacher (8G, 9A), 18, returns. Russian D Artyom Minulin, 16, selected 29th overall

at 2015 CHL Import Draft.Key returnees: After hearing

their names called at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, LW Jake De-Brusk (42G, 39A; Boston Bruins – first round, 14th) and C Glenn Gawdin (15G, 39A; St. Louis Blues

– fourth round, 116th) will lead offense. Bow (31-27-1-4, seven shutouts) guards the goal. D Max Lajoie (7G, 33A) steps up after strong rookie season.

New faces: RW Calvin Spen-cer (5G, 8A) acquired from Seattle Thunderbirds and finish second in pre-season team scoring (2G, 3A). LW Tyler Adams, 18, should make the jump. D Kade Jensen, 18, provides a big body (6-foot-3,

200 pounds) after acquisition from Lethbridge Hurricanes.

Watch for: Lajoie, 6-foot-1 and 183 pounds, is considered a top prospect eligible for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

Noteworthy: Bow was a work-horse in 2014-15, playing 66 games while facing the most shots (2,114), making the most saves (1,925) and registering the most shutouts (seven) amongst WHL goaltenders.

Did you know: The undrafted Bow’s 2014-15 campaign earned him an invite to Anaheim Ducks rookie camp, which he turned into a main camp invite before being assigned to the WHL Tuesday.

The prognosis: With elite goaltending and top-end offen-sive talent, Broncos should once again be playoff bound, albeit be-hind the likes of the Wheat Kings and Pats. Top-tier penalty kill (eighth, 81.2 per cent) will be hurt by loss of Heatherington.

MOOSe JaW WaRRIORSMaT THe w gourlie

Moose Jaw Times-Herald

Last season: 32-35-4-1, fourth in East Division, missed playoffs.

Head coach: Tim Hunter (second season).

Assistant coaches: Mark O’Leary (fourth season), Jamie Hodson (goaltending, fifth).

Key losses: Departing for-wards Jack Rodewald (35G), Tan-ner Eberle (33G), Axel Blomqvist (11G) and Jaimen Yakubowski (9G) accounted for 39.8 per cent of the Warriors goals a year ago.

The 20-year-olds: RW Torrin White. D Spenser Jensen opted to play CIS and the Warriors are looking to fill final spots via trade.

The imports: Czech C Jiri Sme-jkal looking to build on strong second half of his rookie season

(9G, 13A). RW Nikita Popugaev missed the start of camp, but the 6-foot-4 Russian rookie comes in with lofty expectations.

Key returnees: C Brayden

Point (38G, 49A, 60GP) is arguably the most valuable player to his team. C Brett Howden (22G, 24A) captained Canada’s U18s to a gold this summer. G Zach Sawchenko (.896 SV%, 3.32 GAA) is expected to be a leader in his third season.

New faces: D Josh Brook (fourth, 2014 bantam draft) looks to step in. RW Ryan Bowen had

28 points in 53 games in junior A last season.

Watch for: Balanced scoring. Five of the Warriors’ nine return-ing forwards enter second season and looking to step up.

Noteworthy: Warriors added size to their forward group. Two seasons ago they only had one forward 6-foot-2 or taller. They start this season with six.

Did you know: The Warriors have four Americans on the team this season — D Tyler Brown, C Landon Quinney, RW Brayden Watts and RW Blake Bargar — the most in franchise history.

The prognosis: Won eight of final 12 games to nearly make the playoffs last year. Seventeen re-turning players and improved depth should end their three-year playoff drought.

Last season: 37-31-1-3 (78 points), Eastern Conference � rst wild-card team, eliminat-ed in seven games by Calgary Hitmen in � rst round of playo� s

Head coach: Luke Pierce (� rst season)

Assistant coaches: Gordon Burnett (� rst season), Mike Bergren (goaltending coach, fourth season), Wayne Dougherty (skills and development coach, second season)

Key loss: Elite o� ense of C Sam Reinhart (Bu� alo Sabres), LW Tim Bozon (Montreal Canadiens) and D Rinat Valiev (Toronto Maple Leafs) won’t be easily replaced.

The 20-year-olds: Too many. G Wyatt Ho� in and C Luke Philp seem likely locks. Beyond that, RW Jaedon Descheneau (St. Louis Blues) could land third spot if returned from NHL. Also in the mix: D Tanner Faith (Minnesota Wild), D Tyler King (injured), D Tanner Lishchynsky, RW Jon Martin.

The imports: D Mario Grman (Slovakia) has 35 games of WHL experience while LW Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) is new to North America.

Key returnees: Philp (30G, 52A) will be relied on for leadership. RW Zak Zborosky (18G, 22A) needs to � nd consistency. D Cale Fleury (1G, 12A) can take over min-utes vacated by Valiev.

New faces: D/F Nathyn Mortlock, 19, pursuing second chance after release by Regina Pats.

RW Max Patterson, 16 in December, could be one of the youngest WHLers on an opening-day roster. LW Jared Legien (� rst round, 2013), 17, looks to stick after 13 games last season.

Watch for: Work ethic will be the calling card. Pierce, 32, has preached that and in-telligent play. If group buys into message being sold by WHL’s youngest coach, they will compete nightly.

Noteworthy: Ho� in was a workhorse in 2014-15, setting franchise marks in games played (67), minutes played (3,848), saves (1,837), wins (36) and consecutive games played (29).

Did you know: The Ice have made the playo� s in 17 consecutive seasons and own an active WHL record of 16 consecu-tive regular seasons with a mark of .500 or better.

The prognosis: A young group with plenty to prove, both on the ice and behind the bench, will have to work hard for every win. That reality mixed with key veterans should keep the Ice in the Eastern Confer-ence wild-card mix.

GOOD LUCKTHIS SEASON!

Last season: 37-31-1-3 (78 points), Eastern Conference � rst wild-card team, eliminat-ed in seven games by Calgary Hitmen in � rst round of playo� s

Head coach: Luke Pierce (� rst season)

Assistant coaches: Gordon Burnett (� rst season), Mike Bergren (goaltending coach, fourth season), Wayne Dougherty (skills and development coach, second season)

Key loss: Elite o� ense of C Sam Reinhart (Bu� alo Sabres), LW Tim Bozon (Montreal Canadiens) and D Rinat Valiev (Toronto Maple Leafs) won’t be easily replaced.

The 20-year-olds: Too many. G Wyatt Ho� in and C Luke Philp seem likely locks. Beyond that, RW Jaedon Descheneau (St. Louis Blues) could land third spot if returned from NHL. Also in the mix: D Tanner Faith (Minnesota Wild), D Tyler King (injured), D Tanner Lishchynsky, RW Jon Martin.

The imports: D Mario Grman (Slovakia) has 35 games of WHL experience while LW Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) is new to North America.

Key returnees: Philp (30G, 52A) will be relied on for leadership. RW Zak Zborosky (18G, 22A) needs to � nd consistency. D Cale Fleury (1G, 12A) can take over min-utes vacated by Valiev.

New faces: D/F Nathyn Mortlock, 19, pursuing second chance after release by Regina Pats.

RW Max Patterson, 16 in December, could be one of the youngest WHLers on an opening-day roster. LW Jared Legien (� rst round, 2013), 17, looks to stick after 13 games last season.

Watch for: Work ethic will be the calling card. Pierce, 32, has preached that and in-telligent play. If group buys into message being sold by WHL’s youngest coach, they will compete nightly.

Noteworthy: Ho� in was a workhorse in 2014-15, setting franchise marks in games played (67), minutes played (3,848), saves (1,837), wins (36) and consecutive games played (29).

Did you know: The Ice have made the playo� s in 17 consecutive seasons and own an active WHL record of 16 consecu-tive regular seasons with a mark of .500 or better.

The prognosis: A young group with plenty to prove, both on the ice and behind the bench, will have to work hard for every win. That reality mixed with key veterans should keep the Ice in the Eastern Confer-ence wild-card mix.

Last season: 19-49-2-2, last in East Division, missed playoffs.

Head coach/GM: Bob Woods (sec-ond season).

Assistant coaches: Jerome Engle (coaching on and off since 1989), Dean Brockman (second year), Tim Cheveldae (third year).

Key losses: Top scorers RW Brett Stovin (29G, 21A) and RW Sam Mackechnie (22G, 21A).

The 20-year-olds: LW Nick Zajac (11G, 19A), RW Connor Gay (23G, 38A), D Isaac Schacher and D Mitchell Wheaton. It ap-pears forwards will stay barring a trade.

The imports: Returning LW Nikita Soshnin (10G, 17A) and rookie D Libor Hajek.

Key returnees: C Cameron Hebig is the top returning weapon (18G, 22A) and will team up with LW Ryan Gra-ham (20G, 15A) as part of the top line along with Gay. D Brycen Martin, (Buf-falo Sabres) will bring offensive capa-bilities after putting up 38 points last season between his time in Swift Cur-

rent and Saskatoon.New faces: Gay comes home after

trade from Red Deer and expected to lead offensively. Mitchell Wheaton, an-other 20-year-old acquired from Kelowna, will help solidify a young de-fence. 16-year-old rookies — Lukus Mackenzie, Josh Paterson and Camer-on Hausinger — are expected to prog-ress throughout the year.

Watch for: Hajek, chosen second overall in this spring’s CHL Import

Draft and a projected first-round NHL pick, and Mar-tin. Both defenceman should be able to jump into the play and create offense from the blue line.

Noteworthy: Hebig may be on the verge of a big year. The 19-year-old cen-

tre has found his scoring touch re-cording five goals and three assists for eight points in two pre-season games.

Did you know: The Blades have not had a winning season since the 2012-13 campaign.

The prognosis: The Blades will in all likelihood ice the youngest team in the league and will need career and/or breakout seasons from a number of players. They won’t be vying for an East Division title, but with a little luck could sneak into the playoffs.

PRINCe aLBeRT RaIDeRSBret t Smith

Prince Albert Daily Herald

Last season: 31-37-2-2,fifth in East DIvision, missed playoffs.

Head coach: Marc Habscheid (second season)

Assistant coaches: Dave Manson (11th season), Kelly Guard (second season as assistant, fourth overall)

Key losses: C Colton Heffley, C/RW Jayden Hart, and D Sawyer Lange all graduated, Kris Schmidli (Swiss league).

The 20-year-olds: The Raiders have four 20-year-olds in LW Craig Leverton, D Jesse Lees, C Jordan Tkatch and D Hunter War-ner. D Mackenze Stewart, who is being converted to a forward, is eligible to be returned by the Van-couver Canucks.

The imports: LW Simon Stransky (12G, 30A) and rookie D Vojtech Budik, both from the Czech Republic.

Key returnees: RW Reid Gardiner (34G, 30A) led the Raiders in scoring last season and won the team’s MVP award. C Matteo Gennaro and D Bren-dan Guhle should be returned after spending time with the Winnipeg Jets

and Buffalo Sabres, respectively.New faces: LW Dylan Williamson,

17, and LW Parker Kelly, 16, had good camps and pre-seasons. Terry Lange (strength and conditioning) and Mark Odnokon (skills) round out coaching staff.

Watch for: The Raiders have three capable goaltenders. Rylan Parenteau and Nick McBride shared duties last season and both can return. However, 2014 first-round pick Ian Scott is hot on

their heels after impressive camp.

Noteworthy: During the final pre-season game, the Raiders acquired RW Cal Babych, 18, from the Prince George Cougars for a con-ditional seventh-round pick.

Did you know: The Raiders have drafted a player from the Czech Republic three years in a row at the CHL Import Draft. Since 2013, they’ve selected Tomas Andrlik, Stran-sky and Budik.

The prognosis: Under Marc Hab-scheid, last year’s Raiders showed im-provements and fought until the end for a playoff spot. Expect the team to continue to improve and be in con-tention for third in the East Division or one of the two wild card spots.

WHL Season Preview: Part I

tayLor rocc aLeading scorer Luke

Philp is headed back to the Kootenay Ice.

Philp, 19, was re-leased from an amateur tryout with the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday afternoon as the team reduced its training camp roster.

The native of Can-more, Alta., led the Ice in scoring during the 2014-15 campaign, tallying 30 goals and 52 assists.

The 5-foot-10, 181-pound pivot went un-drafted in both years of eligibility at the NHL Entry Draft (2014 and 2015), but has contin-ued to draw interest from pro clubs.

Prior to the 2014 WHL season, Philp spent time at Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp, be-fore attending Flyers de-velopment camp this past spring, which led to an invite to fall camp.

In 225 career WHL games, all with the Ice, Philp has registered 82 goals and 206 points.

The shifty centreman returns to an Ice squad overloaded with over-age players, as seven re-main on the roster.

It is expected the team will stretch out the bulk of decision making regarding its overage players until closer to the Oct. 16 deadline.

Teams are permitted to carry more than three overagers up until Oct. 16. Only three overage players are permitted to play any given night.

Tough competition remains for the three overage slots with goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin, de-fencemen Tanner Faith, Tyler King and Tanner Lishchynsky, and right wingers Jaedon Desche-neau and Jon Martin all still in the mix.

Descheneau, a 2014 fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues, is the lone player still at NHL camp.

King, who underwent off-season knee surgery, is out indefinitely.

The Ice open the WHL regular season Fri-day (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place against the Calgary Hitmen.

WHL unveils all-time greatest players

Cranbrook natives & Ice alumni namedtayLor rocc a

With the Western Hockey League’s 50th anniversary season drawing near, the league used Tuesday to unveil its list of the top 125 players in WHL history, featuring four Kootenay Ice alumni and three Cranbrook natives.

Cranbrook natives Ray Allison, Don Mur-doch and Scott Nieder-mayer were recognized by a committee of WHL experts, along with Ice alumni Nigel Dawes, Cody Eakin, Sam Rein-hart and Jarret Stoll.

“It’s a huge honour. I think it shows that not only have we had team success, but we’ve had individual success,” said Jeff Chynoweth, presi-dent and general man-ager of the Kootenay Ice. “These players have been recognized for their achievements while playing for our hockey club. It speaks volumes about our pro-gram.”

Dawes, 30, skated with the Ice for four sea-sons (2001-02 to 2004-05), registering 159 goals and 272 points in 245 games.

Dawes is in his fifth season with Barys Asta-na of Russia’s Kontinen-tal Hockey League.

Though he only spent a short time in Cranbrook with the Ice, Eakin had a lasting im-pact on the franchise, helping it to a WHL championship and Me-morial Cup finals ap-pearance in 2011.

Eakin, 24, tallied 18 goals and 44 points in 26 games with the Ice after coming to the club from the Swift Current Bron-cos in a blockbuster, six-player trade.

Reinhart spent four seasons in Cranbrook (2011-12 to 2014-15), captaining the club in his final two seasons, before graduating as the all-time franchise lead-er in points (319).

Stoll called Cran-brook home for four sea-son as well, skating in 245 games and register-ing 286 points. Until Re-inhart’s final season, Stoll was the franchise leader in point scoring.

The native of Mel-ville, Sask., helped the Ice to its 2002 Memorial Cup championship.

A total of 88 forwards, 27 defencemen and 10 goaltenders were named to the top-125 list, which was compiled by WHL historians.

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the next few weeks, others might challenge you more of-ten. Know that you will need to make an adjustment. This trend begins today; however, as a re-sult of your playful, innovative personality emerging, not much will bother you. Tonight: Find a friend and make plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll continue focusing on getting a project done. What you are likely to find is that, in certain areas, you will need to assume total responsibility in order to have the details work out as you would like. A family member could need some of your time. Tonight: Order in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating will take you to a new level of under-standing with a loved one. Your imagination could be stimu-lated by what occurs; how you direct this energy is your call. You’ll make your interactions more interesting. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Deferring to others will make your life easier, but at a certain point, you will want to become more involved than you have been. You might feel pressured by an outside connection, but you must focus on a personal matter. Tonight: Make time for a one-on-one chat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Understanding evolves to a new level with a friend or loved one. Return calls, and don’t hesitate to speak your mind. You have the ability to get past problems with unusual ease, so much so that you might not even notice a bump in the road. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of going along with a friend’s idea. You could feel pressured by your family or immediate circle to join them instead. Understand that you’ll need to sort through your plans with your friend before reaching a decision. To-night: Time for some exercise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You feel energized and able to

connect with others in a more direct manner. A friend might push you hard to get what he or she wants. Allow your ingenuity to emerge, and you are likely to find a solution. Encourage more spontaneity in your life. Tonight: Flirt the night away! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home, knowing that you have a lot to think about. You might feel a bit too restricted financially. You could opt to spend some quiet time at home, where you feel you can relax and consider your options more carefully. Tonight: Have a favorite meal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Friends might be more in-strumental than you realize as they seem to guide your plans and directions. You would see a friendship develop into a lot more if you relax about what is happening. Make calls and be responsive to others. Tonight: Hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of what a demand will cost you both emotionally and financially. You might try

to take shortcuts, but that could drain you financially. Curb a possessiveness that emerges. Try to root out the cause, so you can heal this vulnerability. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a lot of different feel-ings to deal with. You could be taken aback by a friend and what he or she decides to share. You’ll recognize how hurt this person might be. A loved one seeks you out. There is no way you can avoid this person. To-night: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be more vulnerable than you realize. Your judgment could be off, no matter how you look at a personal matter. Try to postpone any decision- making until tomorrow or later. Recog-nize that you seem to be out of sorts. Tonight: Not to be found. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Ray Charles (1930), musician Bruce Spring-steen (1949), saxophonist John Coltrane (1926) ***

Dear Annie: I took early retirement and moved in with my son and daughter-in-law in order to help care for my five grandkids. At the time, my daughter-in-law was attending college and my son asked me to move in. I help pay the household expenses and also do the daily work around the house. All my son and his wife do is fight and makeup repeatedly. Their constant battles make the kids nervous. It has been horrible. Sometimes, it turns violent and someone gets hurt. My son constantly bullies the kids, his wife and me. I stand up to him, but my grandchildren are too young to do the same. My son came home drunk one evening and told me to get out of his house. He has no appreciation for how much I contribute both financially and physically to the care of his home and his children. I love my grandchildren and fear that without my presence, permanent damage will occur. I can find another place to live, but I am concerned about the grandkids. -- Out of Options Dear Options: If your son and his wife are likely to hurt the children or become drunk and abusive, you need to call the police and Child Protective Services to investigate. You can do so anonymously. If the authorities find there is a danger to the children, then the kids will be removed from the home. If you have already established another place of residence, then it’s possible the children will be placed with you or another relative who can take them in. In the meantime, offer to take the kids as often as your son is willing to let you. It will give the parents time to cool off and de-stress, and allow the grandchildren to be in a more stable environment. Please don’t hesitate to put the children’s welfare first. You may be their last line of defense. Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law were married a year ago. I recently discovered that they have not sent out thank-you cards to any of the guests, many of whom traveled a great distance to attend the wedding. Is there anything that can be done at his point to make amends? -- Conundrum in Canada Dear Canada: While thank-you notes should be written as soon as possible, it is never too late to make amends. Your son and his wife should write each one by starting out, “We apologize for the tardiness of this note, but we wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your wedding gift.” And then they should write something specific about each present they received. Rest assured, the recipients of these notes will be glad to get them, no matter how late. Many parents decide to take on this responsibility themselves, because their children are not only delinquent, but also unlikely to send any thank-you notes at all. While it is not the parents’ job to do this, we understand those who are mortified that their family and friends have not had their gifts acknowledged and wish to take on the burden themselves. That is entirely up to you. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Giovanni Rapisarda “Johnny”

1947 - 2015Giovanni “Johnny” Rapisarda passed away on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at his home in Cranbrook at the age of 68.

Giovanni was born on August 5, 1947 in Fiumefreddo, Sicily to Francesca and Francesco Rapisarda.

In December of 1951 he made the journey from Sicily by boat to Canada where he then traveled by train with his mother and sister to join his father in Nelson.

Despite being an automotive mechanic by trade, his love for trains eventually led him to a lifelong career with CP Rail.

In 1973, he returned to Sicily where he married Carmela Previtera and return to Nelson where they built their first home together by hand, had three children, and began raising their young family.

In 1987, he moved to Cranbrook, BC with his family and continued working for CP until his retirement.

Johnny was a true outdoorsman: he enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, and anything to do with being outside. He shared his love of travel with his family, returning often to his native Sicily, where his presence was cherished.

He enjoyed working on his Jeep and tinkering with any type of engine - he could fix anything. No car went un-serviced in the family fleet; his children could count on having their vehicles’ fluids topped off and tires inflated to proper pressure before hitting the road.

Johnny loved spending time with his wife, Carmela, attending to his farm animals, working in the yard and gardens, and drinking coffee while enjoying the mountain view. He treasured the time and laughter he shared with his children. He cherished many precious moments with his grandchildren at the barn. He also had numerous dogs throughout his life that he loved very much.

Johnny was a loving and loyal husband and father. He will be deeply missed.

Giovanni is survived by his wife, Carmela; their children, Frank (Andrea) Rapisarda, Mary (Marc) Fennell, and Elisa Rapisarda; their grandchildren, Giovanni, Evangeline, Giuliano, and Elliana; his mother, Francesca; and his sister, Felicia. He was predeceased by his father, Francesco.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

Donald Angus Tait “Donny” – “Taiter”

1952 – 2015It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Donald Angus Tait. After a short battle with cancer, Don passed away on September 14, 2015 with his family by his side.

Don was born in Kimberley and spent his youth in

Marysville where he was active in hockey and baseball. He was a gifted skier and water skier. Don enjoyed motor bikes, snow mobiles, race cars and any sport that gave him a rush of excitement!

Don was a Light Duty Auto Mechanic at Marysville Motors and then worked as a Heavy Duty Mechanic at Fording River in Elkford where he worked for 32 years before retiring in 2013. He was known for his many talents which included hard work and a willingness to help anyone in need. Don’s greatest enjoyment was spending time at Granite Creek in Idaho with his loving wife Susan and beloved son Jason. While at the lake he loved to fish, visit and spend quality time with his many friends and relatives.

Don is survived by Susan, his devoted wife and best friend for 34 years, his son Jason (Julie), daughter Lisa (Garland), granddaughters Taylyn and Kennedy, his sister Irene (Doug), Rob and Scott Wallace who are his cousins, but so close they were like siblings, his cousin Tammie, Auntie Vi, many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his mother Lylith, father Archie and close relative Bob Wallace as well as his in-laws Bob and Rose.

Don was happiest when working in his garage, fixing cars or just goofing off with friends. He always had a saying “what happens in the garage, stays in the garage!”

“The garage is now closed.”

At Don’s request, there will be no funeral service. Instead, raise your glass and make a toast to him. The family will have a celebration of Don’s life on July 1, 2016 at Granite Creek, Idaho.

He will be forever in our hearts.

God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you And whispered, “come with me” With tearful eyes we watched

You slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We would not make you stay

A golden heart stopped beating Your hard working hands put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us

“He only takes the Best.”Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Fall race meeting, cont’d … Tom is a true sport, and one who en-ters his animal for the pure sport of racing. It is such men who make the track popular. Charley Vroman can be seen daily speeding a likely looking animal. He loves handling horses and has great power in training them. Charley can make a horse do anything. He evidently intends to make things interesting at the fall meeting on October the 27th. G. H. Miner’s thoroughbred is in the pink of condition and if beaten in the race it must be a fast horse that does it. The time chosen for the fall meet-ing Oct. 27th is an ideal time for horse racing and in this beautiful cli-mate the weather can usually be depended upon as being bright and fine. It is to be hoped that the people of Cran-brook and district will turn out to a man and attend the races. The di-rectors of the Cranbrook Turf association have, in order to help the district, kept the grounds and race track in excellent condition at some per-sonal outlay.

1903Desire joint discus-

sions ... We are autho-rized to invite Mr. Caven and his supporters to join with Dr. King in the discussion of the issues of the campaign. This is an educational cam-paign and the people have a right to know the position of the candi-dates on the important questions at issue. The Liberal Committee.

North pole quest … Lieutenant Peary is or-ganizing another expe-dition to search for the North Pole. The Herald would prefer to see one come up in this direc-tion to look for the ba-nana weather that failed to show up this year. As a genuine summer, the past season has been an atmospheric failure.

Candidates nomi-nated ... The following liberal and conservative candidates have been nominated to date: Cranbrook — Dr. J. H. King, Liberal; T. Caven, Conservative.

Schools & fever … The schools reopened Monday, and although the attendance is not as large as it will be later, yet in view of the great number of scarlet fever cases the past few weeks it was very good. The disease is now well under control and as no new cases are develop-

ing in all probability it will soon be entirely wiped out.

Badly injured ... Last Thursday, Hugh McGin-niss a teamster at the Cranbrook mill of The East Kootenay Lumber Company, while driving a pole car heavily loaded with logs to the mill, slipped and fell in front of the car. The wheels passed over both legs, producing a compound fracture of the right, and a double compound fracture of the left. The unfortunate man was taken at once to St. Eu-gene hospital and every aid rendered. He may save his limbs but his injuries are of a most se-rious nature, and he will be laid up for some time to come.

Another slide at frank ... The people of Frank were terrified last Tuesday by a slide of no small proportion. It was at the west end of the former slide, and seemed to undermine the large butte that is still left there. No one was injured, but the people are badly frightened.

Something for noth-ing … The Herald is giv-ing prizes for those who guess the closest to the vote cast in South East Kootenay this fall. The first prize is a set of dish-es on exhibition at the Fort Steele Mercantile Company. The second is a camera, to be seen at Beattie’s, The third is two years’ subscription to The Herald.

One on Constable Baldy … At a game of whist recently where Constable Morris and another gentleman of even greater avoirdupois and less hair were seat-ed, the latter suddenly turned to the other par-ticipants in the game, and said: “I have never told you of the time my friend Morris and I were in Winnipeg have I? Well, you know we were staying at the Manitoba, and had been taking in the sights of the town, so on this particular occa-sion retired rather late. On the following morn-ing I appeared on deck at about nine o’clock. There being no sign of Morris, I read the morn-ing paper and whiled away the time until about a quarter to ten, waiting for “Baldy” to turn up that we might have breakfast together. Becoming impatient as to the welfare of my friend, I finally sum-moned up enough cour-age to go to his room knocking at the door, I

was told, in a petulant voice to enter. I discov-ered my friend “Baldy” in a dreadful state of mind, in fact he was much upset. Eager to know the cause of dis-tress and delay, I asked him why he did not come down to breakfast, that I had been waiting for him a very long time, to which he replied, in tons of agony, that it was simply impossible for him to go down stairs, as someone had stolen his hair brushes, and he could not go down in that state.

Probable town … A gentleman talking the other day regarding the building of the Kootenay Central and the proba-ble results, said: “Do you know where there is lia-ble to be a big town in this district? I will tell you. If the Fenwick Mountain turns out as is expected it will prove the greatest deposit of iron ore in British Columbia. The Kootenay Central will pass close to it. The next town in British Co-lumbia is liable to be at the crossing of this road over Bull River, and if the deal goes through for the iron properties that is pending, that town will be a hummer. Just remember what I have said and watch the trend of events.”

Flathead again … All aboard for the Flathead country, some of Cana-da’s richest lands. Go by the way of American points as the British Co-lumbia government thinks so little of the business in that country that it has not spent a cent on either roads or trails to permit entrance by way of Canadian points.

Come on trustees … The trustees of the Cran-brook schools should secure a sufficient num-ber of teachers to take care of the pupils. The idea of one teacher hav-ing eighty pupils is sim-ply preposterous. If the department at Victoria is so slow or negligent as to fail to meet the necessi-ties, then let the trustees show their indepen-dence and close the schools. Cranbrook must have proper edu-cational facilities, and it is up to the trustees to see that the town se-cures them. The respon-sibility is upon their shoulders.

Overcrowded! … There are 80 pupils in one room in the Cran-brook school. And yet people expect a teacher to give satisfaction under those conditions.

For the townsman

M ore than half a million British C o l u m b i a n s

face significant challenges because of limited literacy skills, whether it’s an in-ability to read the newspa-per, or a lack of under-standing of important fi-nancial or health docu-ments.

Literacy skills are vital to all British Columbians because they are a neces-sary part of everyday life and impact everything from healthcare to em-ployment and economic status. Literacy is no lon-ger just the ability to read or write, but encompasses a much wider scope of daily activities - including using technology, doing calculations, communi-cating verbally and in writ-ing, and problem-solving.

This month, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and aware-ness about the importance of literacy with the 5th An-nual Reach a Reader cam-paign. The campaign will culminate with communi-ty leaders and volunteers

hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect dona-tions in support of com-munity-based literacy pro-grams.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundrais-ing and awareness cam-paign designed to put a human face on literacy and shed light on how low liter-acy affects children and adults, Aboriginal and im-migrant communities, those in the workforce, and the economy as a whole.

CBAL’s Executive Di-rector, Ali Wassing, says “Literacy skills are essen-tial for a vibrant BC econo-my, so addressing limited levels benefits everyone. We would encourage any-one who is affected by lit-eracy issues to tap into the many resources and litera-cy programs available in their community.”
