TRE VOR CR AWLEYCranbrook and Kim-

berley has been chosen to host the 2018 55+ BC Games, which was an-nounced by the prov-ince over the weekend.

Consisting of six sub-missions from commu-nities across the prov-ince, each city was suc-cessful in their bids fol-lowing a process con-ducted by the BC Senior Games Society that de-termined the winners.

“Congratulations to all of the host communi-ties on their successful bids. Hosting events such as the 55+ BC Games brings incredi-ble benefits to our com-munities on many levels — economically, cultur-ally and socially,” said Peter Fassbender, the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural De-velopment.

Coquitlam is hosting the 2016 event, while Vernon will hold the honour the year after. Kelowna will round out the decade and host the 2019 Games.

The event in Vernon — supported by the Greater Vernon area, city of Armstrong and the township of Spillim-acheen — will be the 30th anniversary of the B.C. Games, as they were the original hosts back in 1988.

Formerly the B.C. Se-nior Games, the first-ev-er event featured 650 participants, which has ballooned to over 3,277 participants who com-peted in more than 20

sports and activities at the 2015 edition in North Vancouver at the end of August.

“On behalf of our Society and the 55+ BC Games, we would like to thank, and con-gratulate the three winning bid

communities,” said Wayne Naka, president of BC Seniors Games Society.

“Our members will be ex-tremely excited about the op-portunity to travel, stay, and compete in these three geo-

graphical areas of our amazing province. We will make an im-mense and positive impact on your communities as we trans-form the image and attitudes towards the 55+ population among residents of all ages in

British Columbia.”The BC Senior Games Soci-

ety anticipates each of these communities will benefit from a local economic impact of more than $2 million from the thousands of participants ex-

The British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Com-mission has completed their final report, and while some ridings are getting a new look, others like Columbia

River Revelstoke and Koote-nay East are just receiving a tweak.

The three-person com-mission was comprised Mr. Justice Thomas Melnick, for-mer Commissioner of the

RCMP Beverley Busson, and Keith Archer, Chief Electoral Officer for B.C.

The commission present-ed a draft report to the Legis-lature this past spring, and then heard recommenda-

tions over the summer. They have now presented their final report on B.C.’s 85 elec-toral districts. The final re-port reflects changes to 48 of the 85 ridings, and proposed two new districts in Surrey

and Richmond. That will bring the number of elector-al districts to 87, the maxi-mum allowed under legisla-tion.

A two vehicle MVA had the northbound traffic to a stop Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Cranbrook Street North and Willowbrook Drive. According to witnesses who saw the crash, the van appeared to have gone through a red light and collided with a pickup truck. The shaken up occupants received minor cuts and bruises. Luckily no one was seriously injured in the crash. Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services, BCAS and Cranbrook Rescue attended the scene.

For the townsmanThe Rocky Mountain

Trench Ecosystem Res-toration Program in conjunction with the BC Wildfire Services are conducting prescribed burns in the East Koote-nay between late Sep-tember and mid-Octo-ber — weather and burning conditions per-mitting.

For the townsman

A prescribed burns for ecosystem restoration purposes was conducted last week on Burnt Bottom Pasture,one kilometre west of the Highway 93 Bridge over the Elk River. Pictured above: The burn crew.

on the east side of Koo-canusa reservoir and south of Fitzpatrick Road. The total burn area was about 380 hectares.

Historically, the for-est in the Rocky Moun-tain Trench was re-newed through fre-quent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrubby understory and created a relatively open forest with large, healthy trees. The exclusion of fire

from the landscape over recent decades has in-creased the fuels that contribute to the risk of more intense and dam-aging fires, and reduced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Trench. Com-bined with other factors, the resulting forest in-growth has caused an overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and forest values.

The reintroduction of low-intensity ground

fires to these forests is intended to maintain and restore what ecolo-gists describe as a “fire maintained, Douglas fir, fescue grass communi-ty,” which is natural for these sites.

These fires are part of an ongoing restoration program administered by the provincial gov-ernment in partnership with many non-govern-ment organizations. For more information, visit www.trench-er.com.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION:Proposed Amendment of Of� cial Community Plan

The City of Cranbrook has received an application to amend the City’s Of� cial Community Plan.

On September 14, 2015, City Council gave � rst reading to “City of Cranbrook Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3833, 2015”.

If adopted, the proposed Of� cial Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the subject property from “Low Density Residential” to “Medium Density Residential”

Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of a proposed rezoning of the subject property from “R-1, Single Family Extended Residential Zone” to “R-5, Medium Density Multiple Family Residential Zone”.

The subject property is legally described as: Parcel A (Reference Plan 8284I) of Lot 208, District Lot 30 Kootenay District Plan 887, and is located at 9 Little Van Horne Street South as indicated on the reference map below.

The purpose of the proposed OCP and rezoning is to bring the existing townhouse (four-plex) building into conformance with the City’s OCP and Zoning Bylaws.

A copy of proposed “City of Cranbrook Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3833, 2015” is available at City Hall for information.

If you require more information or wish to comment on the proposed amendment of the Of� cial Community Plan, please contact Rob Veg, Senior Planner at (250) 489-0241.

Please provide comments by October 5, 2015.

P U B L I C H E A R I N G N O T I C EPublic Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3835, 2015”.

Bylaw No. 3835 cited as “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3835, 2015” will amend the City’s Zoning Bylaw by changing the zoning designation of the subject property from “Residential Transition Zone: RT” to “Cluster Development Zone: R-3”.

In general terms, the purpose of the proposed zoning amendment is to enable the construction of � ve (5) single storey residential duplex units each of which would be on individual parcels.

The subject property is legally described as Lot 8, District Lot 30, Kootenay District Plan 5056, except part included in Plan NEP20856 and is located at 100 – 10th Street South, as shown on the map below.

The “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3835, 2015” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until October 05, 2015 as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall, or in the of� ce of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 40 - 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 5th day of October, 2015.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Municipal Clerk

The commission wrestled with such questions as whether Hope was the gateway to the Interior, which would place it in the Fraser-Nicola district, or the gateway to the Fraser Valley, which would put it in a riding with Chilliwack. The commission has rec-ommended that Hope be in the Fraser-Nicola district.

The entire goal is to ensure that all electoral districts are as close in constituent numbers as possible.

That there will be variance in numbers is unavoidable. Columbia River Revelstoke is one of the ridings with the smallest population, 31,907 versus Kootenay East to the south with a population of 40,466. While many believe that Kimberley and Cranbrook should be in the same riding given their close relationship, it can’t happen if you want to keep constitu-ent numbers fairly con-sistent.

As for the tweaks to this riding, they are small.

The commission heard that students from Wardner on the west bank of the Koote-nay River and Bull River and Fort Steele on the east bank attend the same secondary school in Cranbrook. However, as Wardner is in Koote-nay East and Bull River and Fort Steele are in Columbia River-Revel-stoke, young people in this area don’t have a shared political experi-ence and some believed this led them to be less likely to participate in the electoral process.

By using the East Kootenay Regional Dis-trict Electoral Area C and the Southeast Koo-tenay School District boundary in this area, these towns east of Cranbrook will be in-cluded in the same

Riding boundary changes coming

Continued from page 1electoral district (Koo-tenay East). Following this boundary also has the effect of moving a small area around the airport west of Cran-brook into Kootenay East from Columbia River-Revelstoke. While these changes affect only a small number of people, it will provide more effective repre-sentation for these communities, the re-port says.

The Cranbrook Social Plan-ning Society will host its sec-ond of four Cranbrook Thrives luncheons on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

Focused on the needs of non-profit organizations in the East Kootenay, each luncheon in the series features a different keynote speaker and provides attendees the opportunity to network with other non-prof-its. The luncheons are possible thanks to a grant received from the United Way East Kootenay.

According to Rita Romeo, Chair of the Cranbrook Social Planning Society, partnering with similar non-profit organi-zations helps to avoid duplica-tion of services, reduces ser-

vice gaps and helps to identify possible shared service areas.

“While networking can achieve these objectives, many not-for-profit staff don’t have a lot of opportunities to net-work. Non-profits are usually minimally staffed so there’s not a lot of flexibility in their schedules to get together and share information, but most people are able to fit in a lunch break.”

The first luncheon was held in May 2015 and featured key-note speaker Chris Botterill, owner and general manager of Genex Marketing who spoke on the use of digital strategies to help non-profits connect with clients and donors. The second luncheon features key-

note speaker Ingrid Liepa, a process artist, knowledge translator and community builder. Ingrid has a diverse background that includes de-grees in environmental man-agement and law, and repre-senting Canada at two Olym-pic Games as an athlete on the Canadian Speed Skating Team. She received an early introduc-tion to facilitation and consen-sus decision making as Secre-tary General of the National Student Commonwealth Con-ference, has participated on at least a dozen community and non-profit Boards as a director or officer.

Her presentation will intro-duce collaborative approaches and how to create effective

partnerships that will have de-fining characteristics of many high-functioning organiza-tions and communities, not to mention a key building block for innovation and sustainabil-ity on all levels. This presenta-tion will peel back the layers on the nature of collaboration and partnerships to reveal the un-derlying dynamics and essen-tial ingredients for success.

While the focus of the Cran-brook Thrives Luncheon series is for non-profit organizations, anyone is welcome to attend. The luncheon is at the Heritage Inn on Wednesday, Sept. 30, from 11:30am to 1pm. Tickets are $10 To register, visit cran-brookthrivesluncheonseries2.eventbrite.ca.

C a n a d i a n P r e S SVANCOUVER - Premier Christy

Clark has announced millions of dol-lars in funding for projects ranging from crime and forest-fire prevention to jumpstarting rural economies.

She says a boost of up to $10 mil-lion for a fund aimed at helping com-munities prevent wildfires brings the total to $78 million since 2004.

Clark made several announce-ments to a packed room of municipal politicians from across the province at the annual Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention.

She touted a new $5 million in-vestment to target prolific, violent and gang-affiliated offenders and ad-dress the roots of crime through edu-cation and outreach.

Clark also said more than 70 com-munities would benefit from a new program to expand high-speed Inter-net access in rural and remote areas.

The premier received a standing ovation after announcing $75-mil-lion investment to help reinvigorate the economies of rural communities with a population under 25,000 peo-ple.

Students from Gordon Terrace took part in their annual Terry Fox Run this week in support of Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer.

The Daily Townsman would like to clarify a question brought forward from the floor at the First Nations forum last week that was mentioned in an article that ran on Thursday, Sept. 24. As published, the question was on the issue of funding for students studying off-reserve.

To clarify, the question was actually in regards to increasing funding for stu-dents attending schools on reserve and making it equal to funding for students attending schools off-reserve. As it currently stands, there is a big discrepancy in the funding between the two. The Daily Townsman apologizes for the error.

For the record

sept. 23 debateOur thanks to the Townsman for its coverage of the All Can-

didates Debate on Aboriginal Issues, held September 23 at the Ktunaxa Nation building.  However, we wish to correct the re-cord: Joyce Green and Rosemary Phillips organized the event, not only Joyce Green as the Townsman reported.

We thank the candidates and their teams and all those who came to hear and participate in this event.  The debate was the first real opportunity for the candidates to display their personal knowledge of and the competence of their parties on issues of particular concern to Aboriginal people. Where certain parties were perhaps weak on issues, the debate was an opportunity for candidates to listen and learn. Hopefully they will educate their parties on these files. 

The debate was an important opportunity for Aboriginal citi-zens to put their questions to the candidates, and many import-ant issues were raised during the evening. There were also many Suyapi (non-Aboriginal) people in attendance who were inter-ested in learning about the issues and in seeing how the candi-dates responded. For us as organizers all of this indicated that the debate was an important event for democratic politics in our territory.  We hope to have similar debates in every election: Aboriginal people and issues are here to stay.

WolvesThe Wolf Kill – A Failure in Stewardship: The shooting of wolves to try to protect endangered moun-

tain caribou herds has no place in our role as stewards of nature. Even if it is done with the intention of protecting another spe-cies, chasing down and killing wolves with helicopters violates the principle of stewardship — to do no harm. It should not be happening in my wild spaces and I am ashamed to be a part of this province’s wolf kill.

Premier Clark tells Miley Cyrus to “stick to what she knows” when she speaks out against the province’s wolf kill, when, by their own admission, the biologists who informed the provincial authorities to engage in this faint-hope-eleventh-hour wolf cull for the next several years admit that they are relying on untried and shaky science.

Experts closest to the mountain caribou tell us that their re-cent attempts to relocate new members to the herds have failed, that protective penning during calving has not been successful and that the almost extirpated southern herds of mountain car-ibou need protection from their predators for many years if the remaining caribou have a chance of repopulating their tradi-tional ranges. However, the killing of so many wolves, over so many years, in such a horrific manner, in the faint hope of help-ing our mountain caribou herds recover, is a violation of our re-sponsibility as the stewards of animals in this province and it should not be a management strategy acceptable to the people of this province.

Grant SmithKimberley

WolvesPage 4 of the townsman on Thursday, Sept 24, talks about the

wolf cull. The billboard reads “where’s my family.” Well the real-ly short answer is “eating a caribou” or other ungulate. Trans-planting caribou to the Selkirk’s at a cost of over $20,000 each after the dust settled?

A friend told me of a book just out in 2014 called “The Real Wolf.” It is very well documented and anyone sitting on or off the fence should read it and decide for themselves. When was the last time you saw a 4x4 Mulie?

H ow important is it to have a library card? Just ask Texas resident John Mills. While working as a delivery

driver for an office supply company in 1987, Mills crossed the centre line and crashed into oncoming traffic. While no one was hurt, the damage was extensive, and the cost to the employer would be great. Realizing his job was in jeopardy, Mills came up with a unique excuse. He told authorities that not only was he on his break, but he was using the delivery van for personal business. That business, he said, was a trip to the public library.

This case took two years to settle in the courts, as no one really believed Mills’ story. Yet when a judge asked him to pro-duce a library card, Mills was able to do just that. The court ruled in his favour, and his employer was off the hook. The dam-age now had to be paid by his private in-surance company, who were less than happy with this giant bill.

They were so unhappy that they ap-pealed the ruling, and the case was once again back in court. While a panel of judg-es listened to both sides, one judge in par-ticular had done some homework. It turns out while Mills did indeed have a library card, he did not get it until right before his trial. The judge stated that “the fact that [Mills] applied for a library card two years after the collision was of evidentiary weight to the effect that he did not have one on the date that the collision happened.” The de-fendant is lying.

Even with this, the court again ruled in Mills’ favour. In his dissent, the judge wrote “the lack of a library card was of evidentia-ry weight to the effect that [Mills] was not, in fact, on the way to the library. It is agreed that the library can be used by those who do not have cards. This does not obliterate the fact, within common knowledge, that regular library users do possess library cards so that they can check out materials

whenever they desire.”Although alone in his dissent, the judge

was not alone in his focus on library cards and library use. Legal researchers at he University of Texas found that again and again, libraries make their way into a vari-ety of court cases.

Child custody cases were almost always found to have library use mentioned. The fact that a parent “takes their children to the library and checks out books with them” was typically highlighted in outlin-ing a parent or guardian’s involvement in a child’s life.

In a different area of law, a hiring dis-pute was settled when an insurance sales-man claimed his head office reneged on a relocation offer. To prove he had already relocated, he produced a library card from his new place of residence.

In 1983 car salesman Norris Eugene Moss was convicted of numerous counts of arson after he had firebombed four churches. At the trial Moss claimed to be Jesus, and plead insanity. Unfortunately for him, he had spent the past three years researching genealogy at the public li-brary. A local pastor with psychiatric training also spent his evenings in the li-brary, and was able to testify about Moss’ ability to use the library, and his expert research skills. Something, he felt, a truly insane person would not be able to do. Moss was found guilty and sentenced to 28 years.

And then there is the odd case of Fabian Vaksman.

In the fall of 1986, Fabian Vaksman was dismissed from the doctoral program at the University of Houston. Vaksman had arrived in the United States from Russia a few years earlier, not as an immigrant but as a refugee. He studied history at New York University, and was accepted into the University of Houston’s doctoral program in 1982.

The problem was Vaksman was highly

critical of the University, especially the History Department. He complained just about everything, from funding to smoking policies to the chancellor’s wife. He voiced his concerns not around the water cooler, but in speeches, newspaper articles, and on various radio programs. People found him difficult, standoffish, physically threat-ening and basically unteachable. After four separate hearings conducted to uphold his dismissal, he sued the University in federal court.

This is when things became interesting. Three of his dissertation professors, who were not consulted nor notified of Vaks-man’s termination spoke glowingly of his academic work, his teaching, and as a per-son. The problem — which each made clear — was that the History Department was made up of Marxists, and they didn’t like a foreigner telling them they were wrong. He “was an irritant to the people in charge,” and so he had to go.

Things could of gone either way at this point, as there were a lot more people will-ing to testify against Vaksman than for him. But there was one more point to be made, which caused the court to rule in his fa-vour. Between all the course work and teaching and dissertation research, Vaks-man had written a book called ‘Idealogical Struggle.’ Not only was his book published by a respectable publisher (Rowan & Lit-tlefield), but it was being used as a course textbook by the very History Department trying to expel its author. It was also, and more crucially for Vaksman case, available at over 100 libraries.

The fact that his work was widespread and available to the reading public ap-peared to be enough for the court to rule in favour of Vaksman, and order the Universi-ty to reinstate him.

A library card: Your legal defense

PAGE 6 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2015

W ith two elections going on, in Canada and the U.S., there are an endless amount of face-palming

moments that occur on the campaign trail.Never mind the gaffes that come from

the party leaders; it’s the resignations from party candidates across the country that never cease to amaze.

Lets take the most recent case of Alex Johnstone, an NDP candidate running in the Hamilton West-Ancast-er-Dundas riding in Ontario, who was forced to explain her comments on an old Face-book photo depicting a Nazi concentration camp.

In an attempt to be funny, Johnstone remarked about the phallic shape of the electrified fence posts without realizing the image was that of a notorious death camp.

Indeed, she even admitted it once the scandal broke, telling a local newspaper that she had no idea what Auschwitz was early last week.

Facepalm.Yes, the comment in question was

made seven years ago, but the point re-mains — for someone who has a Masters degree, according to her campaign biogra-phy, how she is not aware of the most no-torious death camp of the Nazi regime boggles the mind.

Johnstone has apologized for her re-

marks and accused her political oppo-nents of ‘mud slinging’.

Elsewhere, earlier in the month, Joy Davies, a Liberal candidate in the Lower Mainland, was dropped from the ticket after old Facebook comments concerning marijuana surfaced.

Specifically, her posts suggested that more pot leads to less do-mestic violence in married couples and that smoking marijuana while pregnant is not harmful to the moth-er and/or baby.

While Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is in favour of legalizing marijuana,

Davies resigned her seat a few days after the Facebook posts came to light.

It begs the question of whether voters really care what someone said on social media one, two or seven years ago. But if it’s egregious enough, it’s obviously enough to force a party to dump a candidate.

It makes me miss the good ole fash-ioned days before I was born where report-ers had to rely on debates for gaffes.

Facebook and Twitter seem to have cornered that market now.

On the topic of resignations, it’s the end of an era down south across the 49th paral-lel as John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, abruptly announced his exit from the Speakership and his Congressional seat come October.

Boehner, who has led the Republican Party in the House of Representatives since 2011, is currently trying to pass a spending bill to fund the government before a Sept. 30 deadline.

In typical political fashion, both parties are using the spending bill for partisan purposes. Republicans want to insert a measure to defund Planned Parent-hood—a non-profit organization that pro-vides reproductive health as well as mater-nal and child health services—while Dem-ocrats won’t pass any legislation with such a measure.

Should the two parties fail to pass legis-lation, the government will shut down, which—depending on your political phi-losophy—could be either a utopian or dys-topian situation.

It’s hard not to feel for Boehner, who has had to act as the lead Republican ne-gotiator with a Democratic president since the Tea Party wave that took over the House in 2010.

The right-wing element already embar-rassed the party with one partial govern-ment shutdown in 2013 that lasted for 16 days.

Now that the two sides are gearing up for another showdown, it’s tough to not blame him for wanting to jump ship.

Taylor rocc aThere’s no love lost

when it comes to the Kootenay Ice and Cal-gary Hitmen as the two clubs renewed their longstanding Central Di-vision rivalry this past weekend and the puck dropped on the 50th an-niversary season of the Western Hockey League.

The two clubs battled on back-to-back nights of the 2015-16 WHL campaign with the Hit-men getting off to a quick start to their title defense, earning victories of 4-2 Friday at Western Finan-cial Place and 1-0 back home at Calgary’s Sco-tiabank Saddledome.

Friday, it was special teams costing the Ice, as the Hitmen scored three power-play goals en route to the win.

“We gave up three goals on the penalty kill, so we’ve got some work to do there, obviously,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Friday night’s loss. “Penalties are one thing and we probably took some we shouldn’t have in places we don’t like to. At the end of the day, we’ve got to find a way to be better.

“It takes time, it takes work and we haven’t had time to do that. That’s a pretty good team that’s got a pretty well-oiled power play running already. Guys are used to their struc-tures and systems, so it’s to be expected. What I would have liked to see is just a little higher compete level and some sacrifice on our [penal-ty] kill to start until we get things ironed out.”

Defenceman Nathyn Mortlock, making his Kootenay Ice regular season debut on the team’s fourth forward line with Max Patterson and Noah Philp, opened the scoring Friday.

Pierce was happy with the play of that line, along with the battle his young crew showed.

“We had some great effort from our young guys,” Pierce said. “With Max Patterson, Noah Philp and Nathyn Mort-lock anchoring what you’d call our fourth line -- they gave us some great minutes today and got a goal for us, which

was huge.“We battled right to

the end of the game. We didn’t quit. Down 4-1, it’s tough going into the third. But I thought we worked.”

After Mortlock’s goal made it 1-0, the Hitmen killed any momentum as left winger Carsen Twarynski responded 17 seconds later.

From there, the Hit-men special teams took over, with veteran de-fenceman Travis San-heim leading the way.

Sanheim, a 2014 first-round pick (17th over-all) of the Philadelphia Flyers, scored the first of three consecutive Hit-men goals with the man advantage.

“I thought we worked hard and we moved the puck pretty well,” said the 19-year-old San-heim. “We were a little scrambly at times, but overall, I thought we played a pretty strong game and used our fore-check to our advantage, got behind their ‘D’ and just worked it in there.”

The power play was connected to the 6-foot-4 Sanheim in one way or another.

Twin brother Taylor Sanheim tallied the 3-1 marker before fellow Fly-ers prospect Radel Fa-zleev (2014 sixth round, 168th) made it 4-1 with the man advantage in the second period.

Ice veteran Jon Mar-tin added a short-hand-ed goal to close out the scoring Friday.

Between the pipes, both the Ice and Hitmen deployed overagers Wyatt Hoflin and Bren-dan Burke, respectively, both nights.

In all, Hoflin made 63 saves but it wasn’t enough to earn him or the Ice a win. At the other end, Burke turned aside 43 pucks, including a 21-save shutout effort Satur-day on home ice.

Hitmen defenceman Loch Morrison was the

lone man to beat Hoflin on Saddledome ice as a veteran Calgary squad showed it will once again be tough to beat in the competitive Central Division.

“We played a full 60-minutes -- that was our goal last season whenever we played,” said Travis Sanheim. “I thought we played the majority of that [Friday]. Obviously we want to keep cleaning that up as we get further along in the season -- make sure that we’re playing that full 60.”

The Ice host two home games next week-end, welcoming the Spokane Chiefs (Friday at 7 p.m.) and Leth-bridge Hurricanes (Sat-urday at 7 p.m.) to West-ern Financial Place.

Notes: Making their WHL debuts for the Ice this weekend were RW Max Patterson, C Noah Philp and D Dallas Hines (Friday) and D Jason Wenzel (Saturday)… In-jured and missing the weekend games for the Ice were D Tanner Lish-chynsky (lower body, week to week) and D Tyler King (knee, indefi-nite)…A total of 2,137 fans took in Friday’s home-opening game for the Kootenay ICE, not a promising start for a troubled club that aver-aged 2,239 fans per night in 2014-15…

Ice re-assign forward Connor BarleyTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice roster saw anoth-er trim as the team re-assigned for-ward Connor Barley (1998) prior to heading to Calgary for Saturday’s tilt with the Hitmen.

Barley did not skate in Friday’s 4-2 loss to the Hitmen. In five pre-season games, the native of St. Andrews, Man., registered two assists.

The Ice roster sits at 26, with three goaltenders, 10 defencemen and 13 forwards.

Flyers’ Sanheim

hopes to growTaylor rocc a

Like most pro-eligible players sent back to ju-nior, Calgary Hitmen de-fenceman Travis San-heim was disappointed when the Philadelphia Flyers sent him back to the Western Hockey League on Sept. 23.

A first-round selec-tion, 17th overall, at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the native of Elkhorn, Man., registered a pow-er-play goal Friday in his team’s 4-2 victory over the Kootenay Ice.

While one goal won’t wash clean the wound of an early cut from NHL training camp, it could serve as part of the foun-dation for a strong sea-son as Sanheim strives to grow in hopes of making the jump to the pro game next fall.

“Obviously I wanted to stay there as long as I could and I’m obviously disappointed to get sent home when I did,” San-heim said of his experi-ence with the Flyers. “At the same time, it moti-vated me and pushes me to be better.”

Sanheim signed an entry-level contract with the Flyers last Septem-ber and as a 19-year-old, could have played in the American Hockey League. But Flyers’ brass thought best for his de-velopment to send him back to junior.

There’s no question-ing Sanheim has the nat-ural frame for pro hock-ey. At 6-foot-4 and 199 pounds, the reach, range and stride are all there.

Sanheim posted 15 goals and 65 points in 67 games with the Hitmen last season. In 136 ca-reer WHL games, the lanky defender has 95 points to his credit.

“I want to be able to play a full, two-way game, especially if I’m going to play pro hock-ey,” Sanheim said. “My defensive side of the puck, I want to make sure I’m playing my one-on-ones strong and defending well.”

There wasn’t much to be had this weekend while Sanheim was on the ice as he registered a plus-two rating in two games alongside Fri-day’s power-play goal.

Fans should get used to seeing Sanheim as the Ice and Hitmen meet five more times this season.

Do you really want to deal with this type of conflict? Honor your needs first. Tonight: The unexpected occurs. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. Others deal directly with you, but they seem to have such wild ideas that you might need to sit back and consider what is being said. Do not burn any bridges. Tonight: Break past a pattern that restricts you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A person close to you is likely to express his or her caring in a meaningful way. Express your feelings accordingly, but don’t feel pressured to respond as this person might want you to. Your sense of humor will help you ease away from a difficult situ-ation. Tonight: Dinner for two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Allow your creativity to emerge.

As a result, you will be able to move past a pair of very strong personalities who seem to be making a lot of demands. Know what you want, and continue on your way. Be as clear as pos-sible. Tonight: Watch what goes on before you dive in. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Focus on your priorities. A conversation could cause a stalemate if not handled appro-priately. You might be surprised by your actions when you look back. Know that you are on a roll and that there is no reason to stop along the way. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be overtired and wondering what would be best to do with a loved one and/or a key idea. You need to be direct in how you handle this situa-tion. Be more forthright and re-sponsive with others. Finances could be involved. Tonight: Do your thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Observe what is happening between you and someone else. This knowledge could put

a new slant on a situation that causes you to become unwill-ing to open up. Closing down might not be the best choice in the long run. Keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Understand what is going on with a dear friend. Know that your questions could reveal what your position is and how you really feel. This situation might not be as serious as you think. Be aware of the limita-tions involved. Tonight: Don’t cut yourself off. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your way of handling a personal matter could change enormous-ly. The activities that surround a friend might reveal that there was much more going on than you originally had thought. Re-main open to new possibilities. Tonight: Check your budget and pay your bills. BORN TODAY Actress Hilary Duff (1987), rap-per Young Jeezy (1977), actress Naomi Watts (1968) ***

Dear Annie: Recently, new neighbors moved in next door. They seem nice. The problem is, the husband smokes on their porch, which is on the side of their house and only a few yards from ours. It is close enough that we can smell cigarette smoke in our bedrooms, which are all on that side of the house. My husband is highly allergic to cigarette smoke. While we respect the neighbor’s right to smoke on his property, we don’t appreciate the secondhand smoke in our home. We do not use air conditioning and often leave our windows open. Since the husband comes home late and smokes after we are asleep, we have been closing our windows as soon as we go to bed, which makes for unpleasant nights. We also have to close the windows on weekends when he lights up. We don’t want to create tension with the new neighbors, but we would like to be able to sleep with our windows open. Do we have a right to bring this up? And how can we handle it tactfully? -- Stuffy in the Suburbs Dear Stuffy: You can bring it up, but you can’t demand a specific result. Your neighbor is entitled to smoke on his own property. All you can do is close your windows or install a fan that will blow the smoke away. But it is OK to approach your neighbor and ask politely whether he’d be willing to smoke in front of his house, so you can sleep with your windows open. Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Caught Between Two MILs,” whose husband’s mother resented that the stepmom, who lived closer, was allowed to babysit their child. Yes, it is wrong of the son’s mother to be so jealous that she demanded her son and daughter-in-law stop letting the stepmother babysit. She is likely worried the stepmom will have a better relationship with her grandchild than she does. Her demands are unreasonable, but she may be less anxious if the parents found a way to help her connect with her grandchild. I have a friend whose grandchild lives several states away. Each night, she connects on Skype and reads her grandchild a bedtime story. It costs nothing and gives the grandchild and grandmother a way to bond at a distance. Something like this might be helpful for “Caught’s” mother-in-law, who is feeling so left out. -- Sympathetic in Idaho Dear Idaho: That is a wonderful suggestion. Thanks to technology, there are myriad ways to connect with grandchildren, allowing them to see your face, watch your expressions and enjoy some special one-on-one time. Grandma can connect on Skype, FaceTime or any of the other options, or upload a short video of Grandma singing a funny song and text it to the grandchild’s parents. (Kids love videos.) These are not difficult things to do, no matter how technologically inept you think you are, and you can always ask the neighborhood teenager to help.

Sarah Ann (Sally) NoonanJanuary 9th, 1945 to September 20th, 2015.

With her beloved partner George Duffell by her side, Sally passed quietly and peacefully away after a two year battle with breast cancer.Sally was born January 9th, 1945 in Regina, Saskatchewan.Her family travelled by train to Victoria, BC where they made their home for many years. Sally eventually settled in Cranbrook, BC where she raised her three girls. Sally decided to move to Nanaimo to be closer to her girls and it is here where she met her soul mate and best friend, George. Sally spent her working life within the education system.Sally, a natural competitor, grew to love many sports throughout her life and made so many dear friends along the way. She had a true passion for golf and curling. She was an accomplished golfer and curler and spent many happy hours on the course or at the rink. She was a superb travelling companion.Sally was most proud of her three girls Christine, Carolyn & Julie and how “strong” they all are. Sally took her responsibilities as a mom and ‘grannie’ seriously. Sal believed that true happiness came from giving.In lieu of flowers, memorials/donations may be sent to the Nanaimo Curling Centre where George and Sally spent many happy hours perfecting their triple take outs.A celebration of life will be held at the Nanaimo Curling Centre at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 3rd.

BURSAC, Stanko (Stan)

It is with profound sadness that we announce that Stanko (Stan) Bursac passed away peacefully on Friday, September 18 at the age of 78. His wife of 41 years Stojanka, and his beautiful daughter Natasha plus many relatives in Europe will dearly miss Stan. He will also be dearly missed by his brother Milos (Paula) of Kelowna, nephew

Alex (Marilyn) of Kamloops and niece Vera (Andrew) of Victoria and their two children Rhys and Sydney.

Stan came to Canada in 1957 from his native Serbia (Yugoslavia) and worked many jobs in the mining field. Stan and his family moved to Kimberly in 1977 when he got a job working for Cominco. Later on Stan moved his family to a house he built in Cranbrook, where he lived until his passing.

Stan’s first love was the outdoors and every fall he could be found climbing the mountains looking for bighorn sheep and elk. He also looked forward to when his brother Milos and nephew Alex would visit for hunting.

After retiring from Cominco, Stan started gardening and was proud of what grew in his garden. Retirement also found him taking up hunting full time with his daughter Natasha along for the ride when she was not working. They enjoyed many trips together but every year looked forward to camping out for the entire archery season.

In later years Stan also enjoyed traveling to local National Parks to view the amazing scenery, with Glacier National Park being his favorite.

At the request of Stan there will be no service and a cremation has already taken place. Stan’s ashes will be spread in the mountain he loved. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Kidney Foundation.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

For the townsman

Frazer Dyson is seen here receiving his Walker Willis Bursary from Jane Campbell, Worthy Matron of Jubilee Chapter #64, Order of the Eastern Star.  Frazer was leaving the next day for UBC Kelowna, where he is enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Program, studying Earth Sciences.  He is interest-ed in site reclamation and related activities.   

For the townsmanCity Councillor Ron

Popoff got a taste of the difficult and dangerous tasks that firefighters across the country face each and every day.

Councillor Popoff took part in the BC Pro-fessional Firefighters 2015 Fire Ops 101 pro-gram in Vancouver Monday, while at the Union of BC Municipal-

ities (UBCM) confer-ence.

Cranbrook Firefight-ers Local 1253 members Clay Murrell and Greg-ory Green also partici-pated in the fire ops program alongside Councillor Popoff.

The goal of the half day program is to edu-cate mayors, council-lors and the media about what firefighters

can be involved in each day.

Participants ran through eight different fire related tasks includ-ing: a burning

car fire attack, rescu-ing a patient in a smoke-filled tower, crawling through a firefighter survival course and using the Jaws of Life in an auto extrication ex-ercise.

Councillor put through paces at 2015 Fire Ops
