The first ever collaboration between Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre and the Fisher Peak Performing Arts Society was a great one. The Tuesday night, Oct. 27, bill featured Canadian Folk legend Valdy (right), fingerpicking Blues guitar wizard Ken Hamm (centre) and local singer songwriter Connor Foote — a fully engaging triple bill. Hamm joined Valdy on stage at the end to bring the show home.
TRE VOR CR AWLEYThe Cranbrook RCMP detachment
has a new commander, as S/Sgt. Hec-tor Lee has transferred in from the Lower Mainland to replace the outgo-ing S/Sgt. Dave Dubnyk, who accept-ed a promotion in Edmonton.
Officially starting at the end of Sep-tember, S/Sgt. Lee has already settled down into the community and famil-iarized himself with the needs and demands of his 29-member detach-ment.
Though coming in from Co-quitlam, policing in small communi-ties is no strange task for him, as he’s
been posted in large and small centres around B.C. and Alberta over his 24-year career in the RCMP.
However, he’s hoping his latest stop in Cranbrook will be more per-manent.
“The attraction was, number one, the size of the town and the size of the detachment and getting back to a grassroots-type policing, back to a small town where the relationship with the community is more apparent and is more important, in my eyes,” S/Sgt. Lee said.

ARNE PETRYSHEN A local advocate for reform-
ing cannabis laws was happy with the federal election out-come.
Tamara Cartwright-Poulits, the regional coordinator for NORML Women’s Alliance of Canada, said she was elated by the election results and Trudeau
getting elected. She said it is now a waiting game, though some want the changes to cannabis laws to happen immediately.
“We know it isn’t going to happen that fast,” Cart-wright-Poulits said. “Until the fourth of November, when cabi-net is actually set up and we know who the justice minister is
and who the health minister is and who is going to handle the portfolio.”
Part of that is whether there will be one component in Health Canada and perhaps a whole different angle for the recre-ational side of it.

Barry CoulterIt is, so far and with-
out question, the great-est shout-out to a restau-rant in Cranbrook’s his-tory. But more about that later. First, we got to deal with this weird time thing.
Monday was tempo-rarily suspended in Cranbrook, on Oct. 26, by decree of Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gyp-sies. Doyle (known for his Great Big Sea affilia-tions) and the Gypsies, followed by the Bare-naked Ladies, were ex-panding the weekend in a house-rocking double bill concert at Western Financial Place.
“Ain’t no Monday here today,” Doyle ex-claimed to an enthusias-tic crowd. “Feels like the longest weekend ever. When you got a rink full of people on a Monday night you know you’re in Cranbrook.”
Doyle and the Beau-tiful Gypsies opened with a pulsating rock set with an East Coast back-bone. Doyle was joined by a five-piece band — Corey Tetford on guitar, Todd Lumley on keys and accordion, Kris MacFarlane on drums, Shehab Illyas on bass, and Kendal Carson play-ing a fabulous fiddle. And along with the songs from Doyle’s two solo albums, they made sure to intersperse lots of Newfoundland spice — Great Big Sea’s “When I’m Up, I Can’t Get Down,” the tradi-tional “Lukey’s Boat,” the heartbreaking “Laying Down to Perish.”
The very personable Doyle and the Gypsies set the bar high for the evening, but the Bare-naked Ladies (BNL) were up to the openers’ challenge with a high octane set of their own.
The town of Cran-
brook was a recurrent theme in the stage chat-ter. Doyle talked about jogging to the point of exhaustion, looking for the Cranbrook arches so he could take a selfie. BNL bassist Jim Creeg-gan going for a jog him-self, in the Community Forest, warned in ad-vance of the bears and urban deer.
But the greatest local reference was BNL sing-er Ed Robertson’s praise of the Cottage Restau-rant’s meatloaf sand-wich and beef barley soup. Robertson’s menu-related testifying seguéd into a great rap (“Meatloaf sandwich and beef barley soup make me a happy man!”), that Robertson urged be adopted as the Chamber of Commerce telephone hold music. To which the Townsman
says, Yes, please!The Barenaked La-
dies — Robertson, Cree-ggan, Tyler Stewart on drums and Kevin Hearn on keyboards — ran through a revue of their pop evergreen songs: “Brian Wilson,” “One Week,” “The Big Bang Theory” theme song … Doyle came back on stage for “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” the Bruce Cockburn cover BNL made into a hit of their own. Tetford and Carson joined them for an Appalachian fla-voured “For You.” They finished with a pop medley, including a cover of “Let It Go” that brought the house down. Both bands came out to participate in “If I had A Million Dollars.”
All in all, we say, if this is Monday, let is al-ways be Monday.

“A lot of our staff are pretty deeply rooted in Cranbrook, they’ve been here for a while, and a lot of our consta-bles have been here for quite a few years now.
“It’s a kind of com-munity you really can get rooted into. It’s got everything here, it’s got all the amenities you want, but it’s got a small-town feel.”
An avid golfer, the appeal of all the nearby links didn’t hurt as well.
In Coquitlam he served as a watch com-mander of a patrol unit and was an acting oper-ations officer. Before Coquitlam, he’d spent three years in nearby Ridge Meadows.
Over the course of his career, he’s handled all kinds of law enforce-ment responsibilities, such as general duty, operations, unit com-mander, street enforce-ment, national security, serious crime and school liaison.
There is very much a difference in policing between large cities such as Coquitlam and smaller towns, such as Hazleton, where’d he worked in a previous posting.
“Big centres—fast-paced, people want things now, it’s not as personable, it’s more like band-aid policing,” S/Sgt. Lee said. “You
don’t have the same kind of influence and impact you do in a small community.”
In smaller centres, there are more oppor-tunities to build stron-ger relationships with the community.
“The biggest benefit was the community in-volvement and com-munity engagement that can actually make an impact on people and influence kids the right way,” S/Sgt. Lee added.
While Lee admits that crime isn’t ‘su-per-high’ in Cranbrook, there are a few other challenges that local RCMP deal with, name-ly with a few transients travelling to and from the West Coast and the prairies.
“Whether those transients stay or are here short-term—I’m not saying all transients are bad folk—but there are some who come here with a purpose and they come to wreak havoc for a little while and part of my job is to make sure that our folks stay on top of things like that,” S/Sgt. Lee said.
“One of my chal-lenges is making sure we’re adequately staffed here, making sure we’re having the right people in the right places, making sure that our members here

Keep an eye out for a roving yellow school bus on Thursday evening, as Mount Baker Secondary School stu-dents will be roaming the community to collect donations for a good cause.
Noting that there are 500 homeless people in Cranbrook who are in need of food, socks and hygiene products, the students, all part of a psychology class, will be hitting the streets for a poverty drive from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 29th.
Like a bottle drive, students dressed in red will be touring through down-town and other parts of Cranbrook knocking on doors and asking for any
items that can be donated to the food bank.
Items include non-perishable food, hygiene products, disposable diapers, baby food and warm socks and gloves.
The idea came to fruition about a week ago, with the desire to do some-thing out of a spirit of thanksgiving. While the 20-plus students will be going door-to-door, donations can also be dropped off at the Mount Baker school office.
The students thanks the communi-ty for participating on behalf of the Humanity Network, the Cranbrook Poverty Reduction Committee and fel-low Mount Baker classmates.

Cartwright-Poulis said she has spoken to Liberals in Ottawa on the issue prior to the election and they were looking at the Colorado models, but since then Oregon has come in too.
“They are looking at different aspects of how it’s working in the U.S. in those certain states on how it can benefit the whole country,” she said.
“It’s an absolutely positive step in every di-rection because if (Trudeau) takes the criminality out of it that makes it so no one is going to end up in jail for pot, because right now it is mandatory minimums.”
The Conservatives’ Bill C-10 means that a
person caught with a certain amount of mari-juana could end up with a 14 year sentence.
She said ultimately they want cannabis re-moved from the Canada Border Services Agen-cy’s narcotic list.
“Make it more in the health end of it,” she said, adding that once you put the medical label on it, it also makes it difficult to bring it around to a more recre-ational platform.
Cartwright-Poulits said she hopes that marijuana is eventually managed like tobacco and alcohol.
“Then it would open the bong stores to get their licensing and be distributing already,” she said. “But then
She said NORML Women’s Alliance of Canada began the cam-paign with the Liberals four years ago.
“We were out in Montreal at the conven-tions and in Edmonton at the conventions talking to other MPs and kind of putting our input in,” she said. “So I’d like to some of our
community be able to be put at the table in the committee, so that we have our input as pa-tients, as consumers.”
She also noted there are the anti-cannabis proponents out there that are also going to have their input as well.
“We have to look at it like adults and have an adult conversation
about it — and get the reefer madness out of it,” she said.
She said some pa-tients worry that they will not have a chance to have their say.
“Which is unfortu-nate, I think the patients should be more on-board thinking that this may be the time that we finally get rid of the dog tags that we’ve had to wear since 2001,” she said. “But they also want their gardens back. The Liberal government re-ally isn’t talking about letting personal growth start back.”
Cartwright-Poulits is also the CEO and presi-dent of Canadian Medi-cal Cannabis Partners Society.
“We’re a not-for-profit organization that is advocating and lob-bying for legalization for patients,” she said.
She is also working on the East Kootenay Cannabis Club.
“To get some advo-cation in town too,” she said.
Changes will come slowly, advocate says
there are people who also have medical needs who want to have a little more knowledgeable
people, so that’s where you’d want the dispen-sary model sort of stay-ing intact too.”
Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP explained in a press re-lease that the search warrant was executed on Oct. 19, at which time the male was ar-
rested and several com-puters were seized. The electronic equipment will be examined for fur-ther evidence to support charges of Possession of Child Pornography and
Accessing Child Por-nography.
“Investigations of this nature can be worldwide and often in-volve a number of law enforcement agencies,” Cpl. Newel said. “In this case the National Centre for Missing and Exploit-ed Children in the Unit-ed States received the information; this was passed on and pro-cessed through the Na-tional Child Exploita-tion Coordination Cen-tre in Ottawa.
“Once the location was determined BC In-tegrated Child Exploita-tion unit followed up to determine the owner of the IP address and per-sons associated. They provided evidence to Kimberley RCMP mem-bers who obtained a search warrant for resi-dence where the evi-dence would be, effect-ed the arrest and seized evidence”
The investigation is ongoing but to date there is no indication the material originated in Kimberley or that the community is at risk.
The subject was re-leased on a number of very strict conditions for court in January, 2016.

wishes to provide the following information about our 2014-2015 Poppy Campaign:
For the townsmanCranbrook Food Ac-
tion Committee (CFAC) has been selected as a semifinalist in the BC Hydro Community Champions Video Grant Contest. They now need the support of the com-munity to help them win $10 000!
If won, these funds will help sustain the Cranbrook Public Pro-duce Garden and allow CFAC to offer a larger range of workshops to anyone wanting to learn about growing, harvest-ing and preparing their own food.
The Cranbrook Pub-lic Produce Garden is located between 6th and 8th St. North in Eric MacKinnon Park. The Garden aims to connect people to local food and provide space, as well as the skills required to grow your own. The gar-den follows an open gate concept meaning any-one at any time can come take part. Within the gates there is no ownership only stew-ardship and everyone is encouraged to help with weeding, harvesting, planning, seeding, wa-tering, picking, planting, designing, composting, teaching…any and all aspects of the garden.
Sophie Larsen, coor-dinator for CFAC says “Voting is very easy, only
two clicks of the mouse and you are done. This grant would go a long way in allowing us to continue to offer work-shops such as how to plan a successful gar-den, and preserving the harvest.”
There are only 15 semi-finalist and 5 will receive $ 10 000. The three projects with the most votes, as well as 2 selected via BC Hydro judges will be awarded the funds. To see CFAC’s two minute video appli-cation and to vote visit champions.bchydro.com. Larsen encourages people to “please vote every day until Nov 30th. Many of us spend hours on the computer every day and this will only take a few seconds. Re-ceiving this grant would be a real benefit our community.”

Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express to play Key City TheatreFor the townsman
Last year marked the final shows with the Barney Bentall & The Grand Cariboo Opry moniker, but the one-of-a-kind variety show is back with a brand new name for the 2015 tour!
Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express will continue the legacy this November with shows throughout Alberta and BC, including a stop in Cranbrook, on Monday, Nov. 9th, with showtime at 7:30 p.m.
The regular cast in-cluding Barney Bentall, Ridley Bent, Dustin Bentall, Wendy Bird, Matt Masters, and the Gold Rush Allstars along with a few new and spe-cial guests will celebrate the tenth year of the
show’s incarnation, which grew from one event into the western Canadian tour it is now, benefitting local chari-ties at each wagon stop along the trail.
Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express have raised over $500,000 over all shows since the beginning; $140,000 of that raised during the 2014 tour alone. The shows have benefited local charities from Van-couver Island to Winni-peg, including The Pot-luck Café Society, The Good Food Club, Habi-tat for Humanity, Bragg Creek Community Cen-tre, Inner City Children’s Program and the Mus-tard Seed, Sidney Lions and Sooke Food Banks.
The name change
touches with both its unique fundraising model and highly en-gaging show. What bet-ter way to spend a No-vember night than a show that’s not just an incredibly enjoyable fa-vorite for all ages, but one that makes a differ-ence in the community too.
BC and Alberta tour
dates can also be found on www.barneybentall.com.BC and Alberta tour dates can also be found on www.barney-bentall.com.
Tickets for the Cran-brook show are on sale at the Key City Theatre box office—$35 for adults and $29 for se-niors and children.

comes courtesy of per-petuating good news; the legendary Grand Ole Opry caught wind of the Canadian charity tour in 2014 and while they assured the group they were flattered, they respectfully requested the Grand Cariboo Opry change it’s name.
The Cariboo Express was born through Ben-tall’s love for the Cari-boo region of BC, the honorary birthplace of the show.
Barney came across the history of F.J. Bar-nard, and The B.X. Ex-press, the main cartage and passenger services company on the Cari-boo Road, also known as “Barnard’s Express”.
In homage to the area and it’s history, Mr. Barnard Bentall saw fit to rename his traveling roadshow, The Cariboo Express.
The Cariboo Express has become a sought-af-ter event across western Canada, that makes a significant impact on each community it

I t’s easy to define the American strategy in Syria, although it is more of a wish-list than an actual strategy. It is “con-
tainment” of the nightmarish Islamic State (IS) that now controls eastern Syria and western Iraq, together with the overthrow of the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad and its replacement by “moderate” rebel forces. But what is the Russian strategy?
It is now a month since Russian planes began bombing both Islamic State forces and the “moderate” rebels. For every Rus-sian bomb that has fallen on IS troops ten have fallen on the “moderates”, because it’s the latter groups that have made most of the big ad-vances against the Assad re-gime since last spring. The regime’s troops have now taken some territory back, but they lack the strength to reconquer all of Syria. So what next?
Russia never fights without a strategy, but in this case it was made up in a hurry. Moscow was not planning a military inter-vention in Syria until last July, when the of-ficer in charge of Iran’s military aid to Assad, General Qassem Soleimani, flew to Moscow to warn President Vladimir Putin that the Syrian army was on the brink of collapse.
Soleimani knew this because he was hearing it directly from the Iranian military advisers who are serving with Syrian army units. After four years of war the Syrian army was down to half its pre-war strength, desertions and draft-dodging were going up, and morale was sinking fast.
Neither Iran nor Russia wanted to see extremist jihadi forces take over all of Syria, and both countries understood that the so-called “moderate” rebels barely exist. The dominant group in the “Army of Conquest” that has taken over northwest-
ern Syria is the Nusra Front, a clone of Is-lamic State that broke away from it in 2013 as part of a turf battle. The Nusra Front is not “moderates”; it is the Syrian franchise of al-Qaeda.
If Assad’s regime were to collapse, Is-lamic State and the Nusra Front would end up ruling all of Syria, so something had to be done fast. That something was Russian air support for the Syrian army. But air strikes are not a strategy, just a stop-gap measure.
Russian air power has stopped the rebel advance for now, but a strategy needs a clear final goal. That cannot be an Assad victory and the reunifica-tion of Syria under his re-gime; the Russians know
that his army is too weak and fragile after four years of war to aspire to that. So it has to be some kind of diplomatic deal, and the signs are emerging of what Russia has in mind.
Putin insists that he will not accept the partition of Syria between the Assad regime (which still controls most of so-called “use-ful Syria”), Islamic State in the northeast, and another Islamist mini-state run by the Nusra Front in the northwest. But that par-tition has already happened on the ground, and a ceasefire would freeze it without anybody having to admit that it is perma-nent.
The United States cannot take the lead in brokering a ceasefire because it is still formally committed to the overthrow of the Assad regime. (That is why it goes on push-ing the fiction that there is a meaningful “moderate” opposition among the Syrian rebels.) The US is further constrained by the fact that its main Muslim allies in the region, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, are deter-mined to see Assad fall, come what may.
Now that the Russians have stopped the rebel advance, a ceasefire becomes theo-retically possible. That’s why US Secretary of State John Kerry agreed to meet with Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, in Vienna last Friday. Even Turkey and Saudi Arabia showed up at the meeting before it ended, and a new session is planned for this Friday where even more countries may show up.
It is possible that a ceasefire may even-tually emerge from this process, and Lavrov claims that he can deliver Assad’s agree-ment to it. So let’s leap ahead and consider what Syria would look like in this best pos-sible scenario. It still wouldn’t be very pret-ty.
Assad would keep control of all Syria’s big cities except Aleppo (which is in ruins), and would rule almost two-thirds of the population. Islamic State would go on con-trolling eastern Syria (and western Iraq), and would continue cutting heads off and crucifying people in the usual way. The Nusra Front would rule over the northwest with its allies, and impose a somewhat less extreme form of Islamist rule there.
There probably would not be a com-plete ceasefire, because Islamic State is unlikely to agree to it, but at least the killing would stop in the rest of Syria – and every-body else could concentrate on attacking Islamic State, if they felt so inclined. That’s as good as it might get.
If there is no ceasefire deal, the Russians will go on supporting Assad for a while, but they have no intention of taking large casu-alties themselves. No other outside player – the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, you name it – is willing to commit ground troops to the battle against Islamic State either. So in the end, the jihadis may conquer Syria anyway.

Submit tedOperation Christmas Child 2015 is un-
derway again this year. This program is a project run through Samaritan’s Purse, which provides children living in situa-tions of war, poverty, and natural disaster with a free gift filled with goodies, packed by people like yourselves. For some chil-dren this might be the first gift they ever receive.
This also opens the doors for children, their families, and their communities to receive additional assistance from Samar-itan’s Purse in the form of access to safe water, feeding programs, shelter, medical assistance, and/or educational resources.
Over the last 20 years Samaritan’s Purse has been able to provide over 120 million shoeboxes to over 100 different countries.
To participate with this worthwhile, fun and satisfying gift all you need to do is go and pick up your shoebox at one of the locations below. Make sure to grab a pamphlet as that will give you all the in-structions you need to pack your shoebox properly.
There is also the option of packing one for Ukraine again this season so be sure to mark that on the box if that is where you wish for it to go.
Another thing we do ask this year is to please not include candy as customs will not allow it to cross anymore.
If you are able to, please include $7 for each box you pack and place inside the
box as this will be what they use for the cost of shipping. If this is something you cannot afford we would still love to have you pack a shoebox and Samaritan’s Purse does get donations to cover just the shipping of boxes from other sources. If you would also like to be a part of the packing parties that will be happening in the community please check out the dates and locations below.
National collection week is from No-vember 16-22, so please be sure to take your box back to one of the locations list-ed below that is accepting drop off Before November 16.
Thank you so much for participating in Operation Christmas Child this year.
Operation Christmas child is always accepting new volunteers. If you are inter-ested in volunteering please contact Pa-
mela via email at [email protected].

Letters to the editorPigeon Problem
It’s always surprising to find yourself in the newspaper unexpectedly, as I was, being called out for attempting to address the issue of “the pigeon problem” this summer.
Over the past year, there has been a huge increase in pigeons in the Platzl. Where there is food, pigeons will gather, yet scraps from patios are not the root of the problem. The patios probably kept the 3 or 4 pigeons fed that have been here for years. This summer, someone decided that they wanted to feed the birds, expressing that he enjoys their company, and the pi-geons responded in droves. With cups of bird seed thrown out every morning, the 3 or 4 pigeons quickly became a whole flock.
Pigeons are one of the dirtiest birds, carrying parasites, such as mites and lice,
and when city employees clean up the ev-er-increasing droppings, they can actually contract cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and psittacosis, causing serious health is-sues, and in extreme cases, even death. With the welfare of our children playing in the Platzl and city employees at risk, I see this as an issue that needs to be addressed. Of course, city hall might not.
I was informed by the provincial corpo-rate wildlife officer, Yves Antaya, that Trail, BC, had a similar problem, of pigeon feed-ing. Trail neglected the issue until the city was teeming with pigeons and the grounds began turning white from their excrement. An approach other than ignoring the prob-lem had to be taken. I believe the parallels with Trail are too great to ignore. It is easier to deal with a small problem before it snowballs out of control.
I’ve spoken to the person feeding the
birds, the provincial corporate wildlife offi-cer, and several people at city hall. The province claimed it is the city’s responsi-bility, while City Hall denied any responsi-bility, citing it as a provincial issue, as there is no bylaw. In correspondence with the province, we were advised: “Pigeons be-long to Schedule “C” so you don’t need a hunting permit to kill,” and the city’s ad-vice being to “deal with it yourself”, and the health issues that this causes to locals - young and old - city employees, and even our four legged friends, should locals take the province’s advice and trim our pigeon population? Saying that the city is not re-sponsible is ignorance. So if city hall doesn’t want to deal with it, well, what do you think?

Pair of Dynamiters commit to University of JamestownGoaltender Tyson Brouwer and forward Eric Buckley will help get ACHA Div. 1 Jimmies hockey off the ground in North Dakota
TYSON BROUWER ERIC BUCKLEY
TAYLOR ROCC AA pair of Kimberley
Dynamiters are set to continue their hockey careers at the American college level next season and will help get a brand-new program off the ground in the process.
Goaltender Tyson Brouwer and forward Eric Buckley committed to the upstart University of Jamestown Jimmies program Monday.
“Coming into your overage year is always a little bittersweet not knowing where you will end up,” Brouwer said Wednesday. “It’s a big weight off my shoulders.
“I think Jamestown will be a good fit for my-self and Eric. He will be a top forward there and I’ll be a freshman start-
er, so we’re both very excited and able to focus on defending and re-claiming another [KIJHL] championship.”
The University of Jamestown hockey pro-gram is in the process of being built by Pentiction native Dean Stork, who was named the head coach and general man-ager of the prospective American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1 team back in August.
The University of Jamestown will apply to compete in ACHA Div. 1 beginning in 2016-17, meaning Brouwer and Buckley will be part of the squad to get the pro-gram off the ground.
“It’s been a goal of
mine for quite some time to play college hockey,” Buckley said. “So you could say I’m a little excited.”
Brouwer and Buck-ley have been instru-mental to the success of the Dynamiters over the past two seasons in par-ticular, leaving no doubt they will serve as key pieces for Stork and the Jimmies as they look to
establish a winning cul-ture in North Dakota.
“There are tons of op-portunities, you just have to get your players names out there and be an advocate for them,” said Mike Reid, general manager of the Dyna-miters. “Obviously they have to stand on their own two feet with their play, but that’s our goal.
“It’s a realistic goal for a lot of players in our or-ganization...The fact you
get to go to school, get money towards your ed-ucation and play hockey is a win-win situation for everybody involved.
“We’re happy for [Tyson and Eric]. They put the work in. They deserve it.”
Brouwer is looking forward to the opportu-nity to study kinesiolo-gy, while Buckley in-tends on studying com-puter sciences.
Brouwer, a 20-year-
old native of Lethbridge, Alta., was named the Ni-tros Playoff MVP after helping backstop his club to the 2015 KIJHL championship, going 16-4 with a 1.78 goals-against average and .940 save percentage.
Through 12 games in 2015-16, the 5-foot-11, 172-pound netminder leads the KIJHL in wins (12) and shutouts (four), packing a record of 10-2-0 along with a 1.41 GAA and .950 SP.
Buckley, a 20-year-old native of Penticton, has established a pen-chant as a pest through-out the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division. His blend of skill and agita-tion made him a key cog for the Nitros in the 2015 post-season, where he registered six goals and
10 points in 22 games. Through 17 games
this season, the 5-foot-9, 165-pound winger is in the KIJHL’s top-five in scoring, having collected eight goals and 27 points.
With a little more certainty in their fu-tures, Brouwer and Buckley will now turn their complete focus to helping the Dynamiters defend their KIJHL title.
The Nitros are first in the KIJHL, having surged to a 14-1-0-2 start, thanks largely in part to the play of Brouwer and Buckley.
The University of Jamestown is located in Jamestown, N.D.
The ACHA was es-tablished in 1991 and provides an alternate option to the NCAA for players wishing to play college hockey.

Sledge hockey tournament coming to KimberleyKimberley Rotary event will serve as fundraiser for Kimberley Civic Centre dressing rooms
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Kimberley Rotary Sledge Hockey Tournament takes to the ice at the Kimberley Civic Centre Nov. 7.
FOR THE TOWNSMAN
The Kimberley Rota-ry Sledge Hockey Tour-nament is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.
This unique event will be a full day of fun and excitement for the entire family.
The Kimberley Rota-ry Club, Kimberley Dy-namiters and Calgary Sledge Hockey Associa-tion (CSHA) have given their support to Kimber-ley Minor Hockey (KMH) and their desire to raise funds to up-grade dressing rooms in the Civic Centre. Hock-ey has played a major role in the history of the Kootenays.
Sledge hockey is a Paralympic sport played at all levels around the world. It is an innovative team sport that incorpo-rates the same rules and strategies as ice hockey.
Sledge hockey play-ers sit on specially de-signed sleds with skate blades under the seat and use two sticks, not only to pass, stick han-dle and shoot the puck but also to propel and maneuver their sleds. All hockey gear includ-
ing a full face shield and a neck protector are re-quired to play sledge hockey.
Sledge hockey is open to players from all communities including disabled and able-bod-ied, male and female players of all ages.
The Calgary Sledge Hockey Association is bringing four teams to Kimberley, two junior (13 years and under) and two intermediate (14 years and older).
Thanks to CSHA there will be an interme-diate level team coming from the Kelowna Sledge Hockey League.
Spectators will be en-tertained by some high level battles with these competitive intermedi-ate teams from Calgary and Kelowna.
The Signal Collision - Vespa Sting will show their support for Kim-berley Minor Hockey by creating a talented “All Star” team to challenge Calgary’s elite interme-diate team using sleds owned Kimberley Minor Hockey.
KMH will provide ju-nior teams from their league to take on our Calgary Sledge Hockey
junior visitors.Admission will be
$10 which will allow ac-cess to five scheduled sledge hockey games. Games are scheduled from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Tickets will allow com-plete freedom of entry and exit from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm. One ticket is all you need. Tickets will be available in advance from Kimberley Minor Hockey members. Game schedules on back of every ticket.
The Kimberley Rota-ry Club support began in 2011 when they raised $18,000 for the purchase of 12 sledges, which they gave to Kimberley Minor Hockey.
Legacy funds from the 2010 Olympics saw the B.C. and Federal governments provide $300,000 to the City of Kimberley to restruc-ture the Civic Arena for sledge hockey.
Kimberley Civic Arena has hosted Cana-dian World Paralympic Gold medalists in the past. Our arena has been praised by Hockey Cana-da and is high on the list of popular destinations amongst Sledge Hockey players. Do not miss the
opportunity to share the full day of excitement with your family. Join us on Nov. 7, 2015 at the Kimberley Civic Arena.
Advance tickets out-
lets are being organized to accommodate out of town visitors and reduce game time line ups. Watch for announce-ments of Kimberley and
Cranbrook locations in Black Press publications.
50/50 draws and si-lent auction will add to the fun.
Reduced hotel rates
are available for out of town visitors attending tournament.

With Halloween creeping up on us, ICBC is asking ev-eryone to help keep trick-or-treaters safe by preparing children for a safe night out, and for drivers to be extra careful when travelling through neighbourhoods.
Every year, an aver-age of 120 people are injured in 83 crashes on Halloween night in B.C.*
Tips for drivers: Don’t get spooked. Children may be difficult to see while trick-or-treating. They may be walking in un-expected places like driveways, alleys and parking lots. Others may try to cross in the middle of the street. Make sure there are no small children be-hind your vehicle by walking around it be-fore getting in. Drive
slowly and with extra caution, particularly in residential areas.
Be frightened by your phone: Not only is distracted driving illegal, it’s one of the main causes of crashes with pedes-trians. With so many children on the road on Halloween night, remember to leave the phone alone so that you can focus on driving.
Avoid being tricked by securing your car. Halloween is second only to New Year’s Day for vehicle vandalism incidents on holidays or annual celebra-tions.** Park your car in your garage or an underground park-ade. If you park on the street, park in a well-lit area, remove any valuables and lock your car.
Tips for parents and
guardians:
Add bright to their fright. No matter what children dress up as this Halloween, they also need to dress to be seen. Add reflective tape to their costume and supply them with a flashlight or glow-stick to increase their visibility to drivers.
Use the magic of make-up. Masks can obscure the vision of
ICBC’s top 8 Halloween safety tips for parents and drivers
little ghosts and gob-lins. The safest way to enhance your child’s costume is to use makeup instead of a mask, which will give them a clear, unob-structed view.
Gather ghouls to-gether. Walk in groups to help drivers and others see you and your children. Have enough adults to safely accompany the children.
Create a candy trail. If your children will be trick-or-treating without you, establish a route and set a time
limit. Remind them to stay on the side-walk, visit houses on one side of the street first, and to only cross the street at marked crosswalks.
Plan for a safe – not scary – ride home. Since Halloween is for the big kids too, if your festivities include alcohol, plan for a safe ride home. Get a designated driver or bring money for a taxi or transit. If you’re hosting a party this weekend, make sure your guests get home safely, too.

10 ‘Poltergeist’Like many great horror movies, Poltergeist begins by presenting a picturesque American family living carefree in the suburbs. Every-thing seems fine and dandy until seemingly benevolent ghosts begin taking over their house.
9 ‘The Thing’John Carpenter’s 1982 horror flick The Thing. These aliens are shape-shifters that terrorize scientists in the Antarctic. The men never know whether they are dealing with a colleague or a vicious alien that has taken his form.
8 ‘Night of the Living Dead’Long before The Walking Dead, 28 Days Later, World War X and the countless other zombie movies and TV shows of recent years, there was Night of the
Living Dead. Directed by George Romero, the film centers around a young couple forced to fend off a massive zombie attack at a Pennsylvania farm.
7 ‘The Haunting’A movie about a di-verse group of people forced to spend the night in an old, haunt-ed house may sound like the most cliché story in the world, but that wasn’t the case back in September 1963 when this first hit theaters. Based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunt-ing remains freakishly chilling all these years later. Much of the suspense comes from watching actress Julie Harris go completely insane.
6 ‘Alien’In Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic film, a group of astronauts in the distant future find
themselves trapped on a spaceship with a vicious space creature that popped out a poor guy’s stomach. The thing picks off the crew one-by-one before a final showdown with Sigourney Weaver. Scott is a brilliant craftsman, letting ten-sion slowly build until it becomes absolutely unbearable.
5 ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’The title tells you pretty much all you need to know about this one. It’s in Texas. There’s a chainsaw. And there’s a mas-sacre. Shot for just $300,000 with a cast of known actors, this film shocked audiences in 1974 with its graphic violence and unforget-table images.
4 ‘Halloween’The flick features Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a teenager who has a very, very bad
Halloween after her brother escapes from an insane asylum. The music alone is enough to send chills down your spine.
3 ‘Psycho’By 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most success-ful directors in the world, but Paramount still didn’t want him making Psycho. They didn’t love the idea of a movie about a homicidal hotel clerk and they balked at his budget demand. It’s a movie full of surprises,
beginning with the simple fact that the leading lady is killed off 45 minutes into the movie. The film made a fortune and launched three sequels and a remake.
2 ‘The Shining’Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film The Shin-ing. Critics loved the unrelenting tension and Jack Nicholson’s performance as the homicidal Jack Tor-rence was praised, but after the brilliance of films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Stran-
gelove, it seemed like a minor work. Then a funny thing happened. People began watching it over and over and over.
1 ‘The Exorcist’It’s difficult for those who weren’t around in 1973 to fully under-stand what happened when The Exorcist opened in theaters across America. Para-
medics were called into some multiplexes because people were literally passing out. When little Regan projectile vomited onto the priests, some audience members actually vomited into their popcorn. Nobody had ever seen any-thing this freaky, and everybody couldn’t get enough of it.

REMINDERS...Monday November 2, 2015 –
Regular City Council Meeting @ 6pm
Monday November 16 – Regular City Council Meeting @ 6pm
W hen I want evidence that all is not well in the world I typically turn to
sports pages on the Internet so I peruse readers’ comments follow-ing stories. It is a never-ending source of fascination to read critical responses and insults from mostly anonymous posters. Talk is cheap, and never cheaper when one doesn’t have to identify oneself.
Sports websites aren’t the only areas that provide such entertain-ment. Browse through comments on, say, National Public Radio’s site and contributors get down-right vicious. The typical listener of NPR, apparently, is a Demo-crat, so Republicans lurk on the site, taking umbrage at every per-ceived “left wing” comment.
Sometimes the comments come as a surprise, though. The other day I went to the CBC web-site to read about the recent deaths of three children who suf-focated on their Alberta farm. They were playing in a grain truck during harvest and were covered by grain. Attempts to dig them out were fruitless. It was a horrific in-cident that had a level of bizarre-ness to it. The parents, devout Christians who were home-schooling the three girls (and their younger brother, who
was not killed), had expressed gratitude for their community’s support and said they took solace knowing they would be reunited with their kids in an afterlife.
The story that caught my at-tention was written a week or so after the tragedy and focused on a call from the Alberta’s Farmwork-ers Union for the province to do more to protect children on farms. It did seem a little odd, the story and the demand, be-cause the kids weren’t working, but playing.
Readers picked up on the union leader’s timing, most taking offense at what they considered to be grandstanding on his part. Others had other opinions, too.
“I find this union’s exploitation of this tragic incident very dis-turbing,” wrote one.
“I find your callousness dis-turbing,” responded another.
A third chimed in. “Or, you could just be a good parent who knows their children, what they are doing and where they are. Or do children mind themselves on the farm cause everyone is too busy being a farmer. Ludicrous.”
Then another responded to the union issue.
“How about the nanny state just keep its nose out of things? More rules is never the answer.”
Another writer commented, ignoring the fact the children were not working when they died.
“It’s not about more rules, it’s about the same rules for all work-
ers. How can one possibly justify the lack of workers safety rules for farm workers?”
One comment-er, again anony-mous, took the op-portunity to defend
life on the farm, and then reiterat-ed his opinions a dozen or more times as he responded to other comments.
“Kids have lived on farms as long as there has been farms, and unfortunately, accidents happen when kids play at home. That’s all this is, kids, playing at home when tragedy struck.”
Not surprisingly, others took offense at the laissez faire atti-tude.
For instance: “Simply wrong response by a very stupid T in BC (the previous writer’s nom de plume).
“How about if these children were your relatives?
“Accidents happen, yeah, that is why we call them accidents.
“People died by the thousands because of no seat belts, that is why we call them accidents.
“How stupid and I mean very stupid can some people like you actually be... You take the first prize here, my friend.”
T in BC replied.“Well, considering I lived
around farms my entire life, and have family friends that I grew up with that owned farms, which we all played on, I know how danger-ous farms can be. That isn’t to say, that no family should live and work on a farm because it’s dan-gerous. And to compare this to not wearing a seatbelt, shows just how ignorant you are to the facts of life on a farm.
“The fact remains, kids will be kids. This was a tragic example of just how dangerous farms are, but to say that more regulation is the solution is short sighted at best. By that argument, every playground should also be heavily regulated, as children can be hurt whilst playing there as well. I don’t doubt for a second these parents didn’t tell their kids about the dangers around them, however any parent
that has lost their child to a pre-ventable accident would think they should have done more. I’m not saying they did everything they could, but I also realize what life is like growing up on a farm...something you obviously don’t by your choice of examples.”
There is, of course, never any real end to these threads of opin-ions. They either peter out after several days or the website host closes down comments.
Other commenters accused the parents of neglect and called for criminal charges to be laid.
Curiously, all of the comments were made before any investiga-tion has indicated just how this tragedy happened. None knew more facts than what news re-ports carried, but all felt com-pelled to comment before an in-vestigation had been complete. In a quick scroll through the com-ments I didn’t find one poster’s actual name. All comments were made in the safety of anonymity.
We don’t publish anonymous letters in the Advance and I would be much happier if that policy extended to Internet sites as well.

1903Foolish young men
… There is a large num-ber young men in Cran-brook who are making all kinds of fools of themselves. They have come west to better their condition, and have done so, since they are receiving bet-ter wages, but at the end of the month they are no better off. In fact, in many cases they are in debt. Any young man with no one to provide for but himself, who cannot have a margin over expenses at the end of each week, is forming habits that will make him all kinds of trouble in the future. You say you are going to start to save next pay day. Let me tell you one thing, the young chap who is always waiting until next pay day to start to save something from his salary, will never have a bank ac-count big enough to pay a week’s board. What is the matter with you fellows, anyway? Don’t you know you are letting the opportunity of your life slip by? It is not necessary to be stingy to be economi-cal. It is not necessary to be so mean that your mother would be ashamed of you, to save something from your salary. But it is neces-sary to use a little judg-ment and common sense in your expendi-tures, instead of acting like a gibbering idiot. The trouble is, the young fellow who is getting ten dollars a week, wants to live like the fellow who is get-ting twenty. He spends twenty-five cents today, fifty cents tomorrow, a dollar now and then, and at the end of the month wants to stand his landlord off for his month’s eating. And right here, we want to say that any young chap who is earning a regular salary and does not pay his board at the end of the month, is a bigger fool than the man who sat on the end of the limb when he sawed it off.
Sparring match ... There will be a bag punching and club swinging exhibition at Wentworth hall Satur-
day night at 8:30 by the Rowan brothers, who were with the Jef-f r i e s - F i t z s i m m o n s combination. They will also spar with two local men, in a friendly con-test. The admission will be 75 cents and 50 cents.
Parliament pro-rogued ... Ottawa, Oc-tober, 24.—Parliament was prorogued at 11 o’clock this morning with the usual ceremo-nies, the guard of honor being furnished by the G overnor-G eneral’s foot guards, the cavalry escort by the Princess Louise Dragoon guards, and salutes being fired from Nepean point by the second artillery. Most of the members of parliament and a num-ber of senators had left the capital.
C. P. R. Quadrille club ... A number of the railroad boys have or-ganized a dancing club, to be known as the C. P. R. Quadrille club. They held their first meeting last night at Wentworth
Conservative party are making a strong cam-paign throughout the dominion, as well as the Liberals, and both Mr. Borden and Sir. Wil-fred Laurier are meet-ing with large audienc-es. It is evident that the people are interested this year, and especially are they interested in the railway policy, and will listen to that dis-cussion for hours with-out getting tired. It is a new one and the people are seeking for informa-tion.
Saw mill burned ... The St. Marys River saw mill located at Marys-ville was totally de-stroyed by fire last Fri-day night. It is not known how the fire originated, but it was discovered about two o’clock and within an half an hour the mill was in ruins and some of the lumber was burned. Fortunately the night was a quiet one, or there would have
been more lumber burned besides other property. The loss is es-timated at $3,000 on which there was $2,000 insurance. The mill was owned formerly by the Laurie Lumber Compa-ny, and was bought out by several parties and the name of the compa-ny changed. What will be done in the future has not yet been an-nounced. Mr. Dean, of Rossland, is at Marys-ville today to adjust the loss.
Wasa hotel … N. Hanson, of Wasa, was in town several days last week. He is build-ing a fine large hotel at his place at Wasa. It will be one of the best in this part of the country when completed and will be made the great summer resort of this district.
A strange story ... A well-known gentleman well known at the of-fice, pledges his honor that he heard a Chi-
naman singing “Loch Lomond” the other evening. It has long been known that the Chinese have a musical instrument that gives forth sounds suspi-ciously like the bag-pipes, but until now it was never suspected that the compatriots of Confucius had also borrowed liberally from the Jacobite songs of the Scot. John Gib-son, the historian of the Scotch society should investigate this prob-lem without unneces-sary delay.
The bear facts … For the past week a bear has been seen in the bush near the East Kootenay Mill, and several of the people living in that neighbourhood have lost vegetables and other eatables left out-side overnight. There is a movement to kill the animal but as yet it has resulted in naught, as Bruin has proven too foxy for his hunters.
It happened this week in Cranbrookhall, and it proved a most gratifying success to the members. The hall was beautifully decorated with bunting and the varied colored lights of the trainmen. The lunch was a ban-quet, and was served in profusion. The lady members of the club contributed greatly to the success of the eve-ning.
Make money … by buying a sure thing the stock of the St. Eugene Mountain Mines, Ltd. Its property is located on the St. Eugene Mountain. It has the St. Eugene lead. It can be bought at 10 cents per share. It is backed by mining men, not min-ing fakirs. It will in-crease in value. To make money in mining buy good stock low and sell on the rise.

1904A narrow escape ...
William Cameron, the well-known conductor on the Crow, had a nar-row escape from death one day this week when
his train was pulling into Michel from the east. The train was run-ning about ten miles an hour, and Mr. Cameron while running over the top of the cars, caught his foot on a nail and as thrown head first down between two cars. For-tunately as he fell he threw out his hands and as the door of the next car happened to be open, his hands struck on the lower frame. Instinctively he held on and in this way saved himself from being thrown under the wheels of the moving train. For several mo-ments the shock of his experience rendered him powerless to do anything but hold on. As soon as he could gather himself he pulled his feet down that were still resting on the end of the car from which he had been thrown, and then climbed up the ladder. It was a close call and every time Mr. Camer-on thinks about it he shivers with fear.

BARRY COULTER
When Rob Porter moved out to Cran-brook from southern Ontario in 2006, he at once started making a splash.
The extreme kayaker undertook multi-ple first descents of local waterfalls, like the Bull River or Moyie Falls, Paddling his kayak over the edge for “the thrill of a few seconds of freefall that renews my excitement for life every time”.
Since then, the whitewater fanatic and adrenaline junkie has helped create a whole culture around East Kootenay water — and that’s the focus of this month’s Cranbrook Chamber of Com-merce feature business.
Just Liquid Sports, launched by Porter five years ago last May, has helped grow watersports exponentially in the East Kootenay since then. Porter explains that in the Cranbrook area alone, there are about 20 lakes within a half hour drive — “and more and more people are using them for recreation.”
But that’s not all. While 70 per cent of Just Liquid’s business involves recre-ational ‘flatwater’ paddling, there is still a strong adrenaline-seeking whitewater demographic. And because Just Liquid has helped publicize local creeks and rivers, professional kayakers are travel-ling from all over the world to paddle them.
Just Liquid offers instruction in all pad-dle sports, using the local lakes and riv-
ers as a classroom in the summer months, and the aquatic centre at West-ern Financial Place in Cranbrook in the winter. Paddleboarding in particular is really taking off, Porter said. “It’s the fast growing sport in the world right now.”
Three years ago Just Liquid set out to open up the area to scuba diving, and now gives instruction in that sport, as well as accreditation for locals, so when people head south on vacation they al-ready have their PADI scuba diving Cer-tification. Since last spring the shop has evolved into kiteboarding and is cur-rently growing this year round sport with instruction programs and equip-ment sales. Look for the local kiteboard-ers on Moyie Lake, Columbia Lake in the summer and Elizabeth Lake in the winter.
Just Liquid Sports sponsors local ath-letes: wakeboarders - Dagen and Ryder Duczek, whitewater kayakers - Craig and Conner Schartner and Neil Ross and team Wakesurfers — Brittney Ny-rose and Gabrielle Hockley — are mak-ing a mark on the international wake-surf circuit. “We have some of the best ambassadors for each watersport on our Team and couldn’t be more proud of them” said Porter.
Just Liquid conducts community paddle nights three times a week, whitewater and flatwater, for youth and adults, local biweekly community Scuba Dives and are out kiteboarding every windy day. In
the winter, community snowshoeing tours, First Aid certification courses & Avalanche “AST” Training are added to the agenda, as well as scuba diving & paddling courses continuing at the aquatic centre.
The store itself offers full lines of all wa-tersports equipment and apparel, and avalanche and snowshoe gear for the winter months. It’s clothing department is fully stocked with winter outerwear, beachwear, swimming suits and lifestyle apparel.
Porter said “I started the business to de-velop and grow healthy active commu-nity oriented lifestyles above or below H2O in this region, and our mission statement remains the same five years later”.
The Just Liquid Team especially wanted to send a thanks and shout-out to our community, friends, family, Chamber of Commerce and BDC, “for believing in us.”
Mr Porter would also like to send a big thanks to the entire staff at Just liquid “whom I consider my family and to my girlfriend Kate. Just Liquid Sports could not have accomplished what we have without all of your hard work and dedi-cation.”

Voice of Business2
Federal Election 2015: OutcOmE and FuturE as thE chambEr sEEs ItJustin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada have won a majority government in Canada’s 42nd general election, after a 78 day campaign. Representation in the House of Commons
· Liberal Party of Canada: 184 seats · Conservative Party of Canada: 99 seats · New Democratic Party: 44 seats · Bloc Québécois: 10 seats · Green Party: 1 seat
The Liberal Party of Canada went from 34 seats at dissolution to 184 today, a gain of 150 seats. The focus of Mr. Trudeau’s victory speech was hope, opportunity and creating a better Canada. In his speech, Mr. Trudeau mentioned the importance of people “having a fair chance at finding a job.” There are still no specifics on when Mr. Trudeau will meet Parliament, although it is expected he will announce his Cabinet appointments within the next two to three
weeks. He has committed to gender equity in his Cabinet. Other Information to Note Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stepped down as Leader of the Conservative Party but will remain as MP for his riding of Calgary-Heritage (for now). Conservative Party HQ will name an interim leader and move to start a leadership contest. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair vows to continue to fight for Canadians. There is no mention of the possibility of him stepping down as leader, although it is expected there will be some pressure on him to do so. Key Messaging The Chamber congratulates Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau and his new government. We look forward to joining Chambers from across Canada working with them on improving Canada’s competitiveness. The Liberal Party’s campaign announcements on infrastructure and developing a powerful
workforce are important to the business community, and we hope the new government can put those measures in place rapidly. We are pleased the new government is not committed to increasing the corporate tax rate. Such an increase would harm many medium-sized businesses whose revenues exceed the—far too low—$500K revenue threshold for the small business tax rate. Majority Government The stability that comes with a majority government is good for business. Businesses will know what to expect when making investments, developing new projects and navigating regulations. Other Points This election has seen many issues of importance to our economy - and our business community - debated, including:
· The merits of maintaining a balanced budget at all costs vs. running deficits to invest in critical infrastructure
· The Trans-Pacific Partnership · Raising business taxes or the personal taxes of the wealthy to pay for social programs · Infrastructure investments to get our natural resources to markets beyond the United States and national plans for reducing carbon emissions · Providing additional resources to our Aboriginal peoples so they can take their rightful place in our society and economy · Each of the major parties has touched on some or all of the priorities we identified in our election platform, A Canada that Wins: people, capital, markets, and technology and innovation. · Our role is to make our members’ priorities known to those who have the responsibility—and privilege—of making the laws, policies and regulations that affect businesses and, ultimately,
all Canadians. Liberal Party of Canada’s Platform Alignment with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Positions Access to a Powerful Workforce The Liberal Party has committed to:
· Investing $40 million annually to create more co-op placements for students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and business programs to help employers create new placement opportunities for students. · Working with provinces, territories and post-secondary institutions to develop or expand Pre-Apprenticeship Training Programs, by investing $10 million per year. · Making Statistics Canada fully independent with a mandate to collect data needed by the private sector, including more detailed labour market information. · Creating new
performance standards for services (e.g. immigration processing), including streamlining applications, reducing wait times and offering money-back guarantees. Performance will be independently assessed and publicly reported, including immigration processing. · With regards to Aboriginal education and training, removing the 2% cap on First Nations education funding.
Access to Capital The Liberal Party has committed to:
· Keeping corporate taxes at the current rate of 15%.
Access to Markets The Liberal Party has committed to:
· Renewing Canada’s relationship with United States and Mexico by re-establishing trilateral summits and lifting visa requirements on Mexico. · Along with the United States and Mexico, developing a North American clean energy
and environmental agreement · Exploring deeper relationships with China and India. · Partnering with business to take advantage of trade deals that are signed. · Infrastructure financing through private funds, Canada Infrastructure Bank and public deficits of up to $10 billion/year. · Supporting the Keystone and Energy East pipeline projects.
Access to Technology and Innovation The Liberal Party has committed to:
· Supporting clean technology, including: · Investing $100 million a year more for organizations supporting clean technology, including Sustainable Development Technology Canada · Investing $200 million a year more to support clean technology in the forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agriculture sectors.

As we wound down the longest federal election since 1872 it became evident that the Liberals were going to form government.
At a minimum a minority government and a good chance of a slim majority. By the time early polls results were in for Eastern Canada it was clear Mr. Trudeau would have a strong majority. A school of thought is that a minority government would have kept the “young feller” on his toes. Minority governments are fraught with more politics and posturing than usual as the last election is refought and rehashed. O� en with a minority government when all is said and done, more is said than done. Having a large majority government will provide Mr. Trudeau the opportunity to put in place a strong plan to promote Canada’s competitiveness and strengthen our economy.� e focus of Mr. Trudeau’s victory speech was hope, opportunity and creating a better Canada. In his speech, Mr. Trudeau mentioned the importance of people “having a fair chance at � nding a job.” � e very best thing for every Canadian of working age is a job. � ey need better than a fair chance at a job. � ey need a great chance. � eir very best chance comes in a strong economy.During the campaign, the Liberals set out their vision for our economy. � eir plan to invest in new infrastructure, if done strategically, will be positive for Canada’s economy. Smart debt can be a powerful and e� ective economic development tool. Spending ourselves out of recession will not work. Investing for the future will work. Canada cannot a� ord to return to structural de� cits.Having ran a decidedly more positive campaign than his competitors
Trudeau clearly has resonated with voters. Mr. Trudeau’s youthful optimism is a breath of fresh air in a political climate that has become as grey and depressing as the winter weather in Vancouver. Mr. Trudeau has a time limit to get the job done. � ere appears to be a “best before date” syndrome with politicians developing in Canada. � e shelf life can vary depending on circumstances but when the date comes, regardless of the sni� test, it has gone o� and it is time to give it the toss.When the kids were at home I always explained to them that the “best before date” meant just that, “best before”. Not that on midnight of that day the milk turned into this unpalatable vile substance that could not be tolerated. Nope, not good enough for them. It had to go. Not drinking that. It would appear Mr. Harper politically expired.Mr. Trudeau will not be Prime Minister forever. His best before date is coming and his challenge is to make a di� erence before he sours in the fridge of the electorate. His majority will certainly help. � e Conservative dominated Senate could provide some consternation. My mother used to always say, “If wishes were horses beggars would ride.” Great countries do not happen by chance. Wishes, hopes, and dreams for a strong, vibrant and economically sustainable Canada will not make it happen.Canada is at an important crossroads and the next few years will decidedly shape the foreseeable future. Canada needs leadership with fortitude and the strength of their convictions to make the really tough decisions and create a Canada that Wins.

Six ways to boost your credit scoreYour credit score is essentially your passport to fi nancial opportunities. With a possible range of 300 to 900, your number tells lenders what kind of a risk you are likely to be as a borrower. A low credit score can prevent you from getting the lowest mortgage rate, or even from getting a mortgage at all. That’s why it’s important to know the six credit behaviors that can keep your score high, or give it a boost!
1. Know what you’re working with. Get a copy of your report and see what your lender sees. Credit reports can be ordered for free through the mail or, for a small fee, downloaded from www.equifax.ca.
2. On time, all the time. The single biggest factor in your credit score is having a timely bill payment history. Start today with a commitment to never let a bill get past due.
3. Know your limits. Your credit score is based on your balances relative to your available credit. Look at your credit limits and try not to use more than half of the available amount.
4. A longer history is better. Don’t cancel your oldest credit card. In fact, get advice before you cancel any cards. A long steady history of using cards responsibly demonstrates trustworthiness.
5. Be selective. When you’re asked “would you like to apply for our Store Card to save $X dollars on your purchase?” Don’t do it. These pitches can be a credit pitfall. Regularly looking for more credit will fl ag you as a potential credit risk.
6. Keep it balanced. Creditors like to see that you can handle a wide variety of credit types.
I would be happy to review your situation. If you need to improve your score, I can outline your best options for credit improvement. If you want to get a mortgage while you work on bettering your score, I can also advise how that may be possible.
3. I would be happy to review your

politics, not Politics!In the days preceding the recent Federal election, Chambers of Commerce, and specifically the Cranbrook Chamber, were unjustly accused of engaging in partisan politics. The rational for this accusation was that the Chamber’s advocacy efforts related to strengthening international trade, addressing transportation infrastructure needs and emphasis on job creation and the economy somehow amounted to back-room collaboration with one of the political parties. Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce have been advocating for the business and economic interests of their members in every municipal, provincial and federal election since the first writ was dropped in this country almost 150 years ago – it’s part of what we do, and we’re not apologetic about it! To suggest that the Chamber is somehow “in bed” with any political party simply because their election platform happens to include business and economic priorities is patently absurd!
Like any member-based organization, the Chamber exists to serve the needs of its members. In our case, this means building a business-friendly, successful and sustainable future for Cranbrook by maintaining and enhancing a strong, diverse and growing economic base. We pursue these goals, in collaboration with other business and community partners, through non-partisan policy development and strategic advocacy.
By the very nature of our activities, Chambers routinely engage with all levels of government in small “p” politics – grassroots activism that focuses of improving the lives of ordinary people, their businesses and the well-being of their communities. This sort of politics isn’t about grandstanding or looking good; it’s about doing good. It’s not about waving party placards and making pronouncements; it’s about getting dirt under your fingernails and helping out. It requires

The Chamber looks forward to working cooperatively with Wayne to advance our issues, ideas and concerns to the Federal government.
I am sincerely grateful for all the women and men who participated as candidates in every riding across our great nation.

Special appearance by Savannah Bisset
Tickets $20 adults, $15 seniors, $12 students
JAMES ROSEThe resplendent
sounds of the Bisset Singers are making their way back to Invermere on Friday, November 6th at the Lake Winder-mere Alliance Church. The Chuck Bisset-led choir is returning to the valley with a brio and passion for their music sure to inspire and en-tertain.
Mr. Bisset loves music of all kinds, and as a priority, he chooses songs for his choir’s rep-ertoire that reflect lati-tude. As Mr. Bisset says, “it is important to (the) concert’s appeal to a broader base in the community.”
The Bisset Singers last performed in Inver-mere two years ago. For this year’s show, the au-dience will be treated to a special performance from Mr. Bisset’s daugh-ter Savannah. Savannah currently is based in New York City and is a rising star as a profes-sional soprano. She cur-rently performs with an opera company just below the New York Metropolitan Opera, but was recently invited to audition for the presti-gious choir company.
Savannah’s profes-sional New York debut
Bisset Singers in Invermere
as Marquerite in Andre Gretry’s Richard Coeur-de-lion opera received a New York Times review exclaiming “Ms. Bisset excelled in one of the score’s few arias.”
The Bisset Singers are a diverse group. Mr. Bisset is proud to wel-come his daughter back to the Kootenay area to perform but is also equally as proud to fea-ture singers that he nor-mally teaches in the choir. “I have a wide range of ages in my choir, with more than half of the soprano sec-tion being between nine and thirteen years old!”
The show’s reper-toire will showcase
songs from Duke Elling-ton, and will be accom-panied by a big band soundtrack thanks to the choir groups newly acquired sound system.Additionally, the audi-ence can expect to hear the familiar SkyFall title song from the James Bond movie and after the intermission, the choir will give the rest of the program over to the finest of classical music.
The show will com-mence at 7 pm. Tickets are available at Canter-bury Flowers and are $20 (adults), $15 (se-niors), and $12 (stu-dents).
F O R T H E TOW N S M A NCollege of the Rock-
ies Tourism and Recre-ation Management stu-dents recently returned from a successful trip to the LinkBC Student Case Competition in Vancouver, taking first place in their category.
The competition is an opportunity for BC post-secondary stu-dents in tourism and hospitality programs to demonstrate their re-search, presentation and problem-solving skills by answering challenging case ques-tions in front of a panel of industry leaders.
The College’s team was made up of four second-year students, Leo Li, Julie Biesen, Tony Fisher and Ashley Winchester. They were one of 17 teams from 13 BC post-secondary in-stitutions. The compe-
tition was divided into diploma and degree categories as well as into two different themes: Tourism Human Resources and Hotel Sales and Market-ing. The College team participated in the Tourism Human Re-sources theme against three other diplo-ma-level programs.
On October 20, the teams were presented with their case problem at 7:00am. The College team’s question re-quired them to create a plan that would assist industry leaders in coming up with best practices in regard to wages and benefits for employees. Students were asked to create ideal compensation packages that were competitive with other industries yet respect-ful of the tight margins
that exist in the tourism sector. They then had five hours to complete their research and to create a 12 minute pre-sentation outlining their recommenda-tions.
All teams answered questions posed to them by a panel of in-dustry judges who then graded them based on their research, analysis, recommendations, pre-sentation and team-work.
“The LinkBC Stu-dent Case Competition was an amazing experi-ence. It was a great op-portunity to meet in-dustry professionals and other Tourism stu-dents from other insti-tutions,” notes Win-chester. “I feel very proud to represent Col-lege of the Rockies and the Tourism and Recre-ation Management pro-
Tourism students win at competition
gram. My team and I proved that even though we come from a small college, we are able to compete with the larger schools in the province.”
“I am extremely proud of our Tourism and Recreation Man-agement Case Compe-tition team. They ex-celled because of the exemplary job they did
in connecting the theo-ry and material they learned in the class-room to the real-life case situation present-ed to them in the com-petition,” added Tour-
ism and Recreation in-structor, Grant Unger.

Outpouring of Yahk Carefest Spirit ~ $10,000 for ICU
The Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society’s Carefest fundraiser for EKFH’s ICU Redevelop-ment Campaign can only be described as outstanding.
The October 3 fund-raiser was a fun-filled extravaganza with lots of opportunities for sup-porters to bid on live and silent auction items, take a chance on prizes featured on the treasure
trees or just simply make a donation.
The evening was fur-ther complemented with a scrumptious buf-fet dinner and music from the always popular Creston Community Band.
The audience was a varied mix of young and old all with a common goal of supporting the YKRS in showing its commitment to health care at the regional hos-pital.
At the close of the evening the crowd was not disappointed as an outstanding $10,000 was presented to repre-sentatives from EKFH who attended the event.
President Judy Dick-son of YKRS said, “We
are so proud of our ac-complishment in the amount being contrib-uted to the ICU. The en-tire committee deserves a huge round of ap-plause and a well-earned break after a job well done.”
“I was unbelievably taken back at how well-organized and pre-sented the Carefest fundraiser was in Yahk,” said Patricia Whalen, Assistant Executive Di-rector at EKFH.

been a busy one for the ICU Redevelopment Campaign with events in support of and dona-tions arriving on a regu-lar basis.
The East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s new ICU is to be commis-sioned in the spring of 2016.
A major donor driv-en community cam-paign to raise $1,000,000 was launched in Octo-ber 2014 to assist in the purchase of various ICU capital equipment. The fundraising campaign is anticipated to meet its target prior to the com-missioning.

Yahk Carefest fundraises $10,000WildsigHt
Wildsight Kimber-ley/Cranbrook is very thankful to the organi-zations and communi-ty volunteers who helped with the reali-zation of all the recent Open Gate Garden up-grades. As is now evi-dent when driving down Rotary Drive in Kimberley, there is a path from the Kimber-ley Aquatic Center to the Open Gate Garden and a brand new Gaze-bo that would not have been possible without grant funds and com-munity strength.
The new pathway increases the opportu-nity for users of all ages and abilities, including
those with mobility re-strictions, to access the Open Gate Garden. The new Gazebo enhances the garden by providing an outdoor shelter that can act as a hub for gar-dening knowledge transfer such as work-shops or even as a quick way to duck away from a sudden rain shower.
Dirk de Geus, Food Sustainability Coordi-nator for Wildsight Kim-b e r l e y / C r a n b r o o k states, “I am moved by the generosity of every-one involved and would like to extend a special thanks to RCR for mak-ing their bobcat avail-able for the trail con-struction, and Dave Check, who volunteered numerous hours of his time as the tenacious bobcat operator. We are also extremely grateful for Tyee Log and Timber and the volunteer hours Rob Wheeler and his
crew put in to build the gazebo. And lastly spe-cial thanks must be mentioned for Paula Gordon who aided in staining the lumber in addition to her count-less volunteer hours in the garden, and the hard working volunteers that came out on trail con-struction day to lend a hand.”
The concept of the Open Gate Garden is a unique story, as it is truly a free edible gar-dening space for the community to grow, harvest, and learn to-gether.
Everyone and any-one is encouraged to make use of it, and con-tinue its growth into the years to come.
For any question re-garding the Open Gate Garden please contact Dirk at 250-427-9325 x 223 or [email protected].
Wildsight thankful for support in Open Gate Garden Upgrades

The Moose Hunter from Moosomin – Part II FJ Hurtak
( An excerpt from the book – Hunt-ing the Antlered Big Game of the Koo-tenays )
The word moose is an Algonquin word for ‘strip away’ — a reference to their bark eating capabilities. Just about every second tree was either thrashed from aggressive ‘horning’ or had the bark half chewed off. In the fall, large bulls will eat up to 50 lbs of food per day including bark, buds, shrubs, leaves, willows, alder, and ba-sically anything that tastes good, in-cluding aquatic plants if still avail-able.
The breeding season which usual-ly occurs in these parts from mid-Sep-tember to mid-October, sees some-what of an interruption in feeding habits, as procreation of the species is foremost on their minds. However, they still have to eat some, and from the sign I was seeing it appeared this bull and perhaps other moose were using this place as a regular dining hall.
Forty-five minutes later, when I was getting near the area where the bull was, I cautiously poked my head out from the trees. I scanned the area piece-by-piece looking for old Shadrack, but it appeared he had van-ished into thin air. The next thing I saw move was Ken, who was directly above where I saw the moose. When we eventually met up I asked, “Couldn’t you get a crack at him?”
“At what?” he replied. I explained to him what I had seen, and could not believe an animal that large had slipped away on us like a ghost, with-out either one of us seeing him.
“The big ones who know they are being hunted didn’t get big without learning how to avoid hunters” Ken quipped.
I couldn’t argue against his logic this time. This was our sixth day in moose heaven, and although we knew there were plenty of moose in this spot, Ken had not been presented a good opportunity to fill his tag.
The other bad news was that, we had to leave for town that afternoon as I had business to attend to, and Ken had to meet his daughter who was arriving from Barbados the fol-lowing day.
Several days later Ken called me and asked if I could make another so-journ to the region. Regretfully I could not, so Ken decided to head out on his own. When he finally returned home after the hunt, I was more than anx-ious to find out how he made out. In his own words, here is the final chap-ter of the quest for Mr Big.
“It took four-wheel drive to get me back to moose camp, as I encoun-tered over a foot and a half of snow when I went over the summit, and soon ran into two other hunters who I stopped and talked to. They told me I was crazy to go any further because you could not leave the main road, and they said there was no sign of any animals anyway. I pushed on despite their advice, but a bit later, if I could have turned around I probably would have.
“I did manage to make it to the camp though, much later that after-noon, and surprisingly the closer I got, the less snow there was, even to
the point where I could see lots of bare spots.
“The next morning I took a backpack and some rope and walked to near the area where you had seen the big bull. I was armed with my old Hudson Bay Cooey .270, with my new Bushnell Rain-guard scope on it, and I felt very confident with its accuracy, since I had purchased the new optics.
“I walked up to a ridge, which I knew would take me to the road overlooking the big clear-cut which you and I had been hunting. I approached the area where we had encountered the sow grizzly with her cubs, and right below that particular spot was the moose we had been looking for. He was about 2 kms (1.2 miles away) just below a ridge. He was feeding, and on occasion he was batting some willows around. I had a decision to make.....to go down on a lower skid trail or to stay on the upper one to put myself within shooting range. I elected to stay high, thinking that if he moved up, which he easily could have done, I would lose sight of him if I stayed low.
“It took me a good half an hour or so, crouching, and sometimes crawling on my hands and knees
until I got to an area that was adja-cent to him about 300 yards away. I figured that was about as close as I could get without him seeing me, so I made my way to the edge of the trail and centred my scope right on his hump. I had never shot a moose there before but several veteran moose hunters had told me that the hump area is the spot on the moose that controls all the muscles in their front legs.
“I carefully aimed and fired, and could hear the loud whack of the bullet as it hit home. The bull lurched forward up the hill and I fired again. This time he went down, and I quickly started mak-ing my way across to him, keeping him in sight at all times. I had heard many stories about hunters thinking their animal was dead and when they got there it was gone, never to be seen again. Cau-tiously, I approached him and as he was still moving I finished him with one more shot. I looked at my watch and it was 9:15 a.m. I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me, and in the back of my mind while I was skinning and quartering, was the thought of that grizzly sow and cubs. I kept a loaded gun readily available at all times as I prepared
the meat for transport. My first pack down to the lower skid trail was the antlers and heart. I didn’t know then, but the heart turned out to be the most tender piece of meat on that huge animal. I slid five other packs in the snow down the mountain and left them near the trail by a landing. It was getting late in the day so I took the antlers and heart back to camp first, where I had a plastic toboggan. I spent most of the night looking at the antlers realizing that I had accom-plished my dream of wanting to harvest a truly trophy moose.
“I was blessed with another two inches of snow overnight and in the morning I was on my way back up the road with the sleigh. All in all, I made five packs and over 12 hours and 20 kms later I had all of my moose out to the truck. I was determined to drive out that night despite being physically drained, as my tarp tent camp had been leaking, and most of my gear was soaked, plus I was worried about even being able to get back out safely with deteriorating road con-ditions. Leaving that night was a wise decision, as the summit road was getting close to being impass-able. It was a harrowing trip back,
slipping and sliding all over the road. Eventually, though, I perse-vered and arrived at the highway where there was no snow at all. When I got home despite being completely played out, it was difficult getting to sleep. What a hunt...what a moose!”
Ken’s Shiras moose measured over 50 inches wide, and the ant-lers weighed approximately 30 pounds. I’ve always said that the amount of effort and time expend-ed to harvest an animal helps de-termine the kind of trophy you think it is. There’s no doubt in my mind that Ken will fondly remem-ber almost every detail of this hunt for the rest of his life. If his memory starts to fade a bit in later years all he has to do to rekindle those memories, is to take a short walk to his classic backyard cabin which he calls ‘MacDonald House’, and fix his eyes on those antlers hang-ing on the wall.

Tourism just held their 38th Annual General Meeting on October 6th in Revelstoke. The or-ganization held this in conjunction with a re-gional Tourism Indus-try Conference which featured many interest-ing presentations on is-sues and topics that are currently at the fore-front of the industry today.
This event also marked a historic change in leadership at the Board of Directors level. Long-time Inver-mere resident Mike Smith, former business owner of McToogles, and locally renowned musician, stepped aside
from his position of Chair and Thom Tischik of the Revelstoke Ac-commodation Associa-tion was elected as the new Chair.
It was a memorable moment at the Koote-nay Rockies conference when Doug McIntosh, Secretar y/Treasurer and former founding fa-ther of the organization acknowledged Mike Smith for the tremen-dous efforts and contri-butions to tourism in this area that he has made over his 35 year tenure.
Mike has been active in tourism on many lev-els. He sat on the Tour-ism BC (now Destina-tion BC) Board for 3 years, he was President
of the Golf Industry of BC, he was a Director and integral part of the Tourism British Colum-bia Special Operating
Agency and he was a founding father of this region’s tourism associ-ation, Kootenay Rockies Tourism.

SubmittedPoverty is a real issue in Cran-
brook as many families struggle to pay the bills and maintain afford-able housing. Many of us take things for granted like just filling up our vehicle with fuel whenever we need to. We don’t often think of alternate transportation as we hop in our vehicle and drive to the gro-cery store to grab something quick for supper. We often don’t think about having to plan our day around walking to/from the gro-cery store or only being able to buy what we need, not what we want, like a treat for our child while we wait in line at the cash register. We often don’t hesitate when we eat out at a restaurant and charge it to our credit card or buy a luxury item that we don’t really need.
Our perception is often that those parents without jobs don’t want to work or are lazy, stereo-types not often based on facts. With an increase to the cost of liv-ing, many of the families who are struggling financially are consid-ered the “working poor”. Some of the families have one or both par-ents working either part-time, ca-sual or minimum wage jobs. Of the families who access the food bank in Cranbrook, 40% are chil-dren. The Salvation Army made 20, 000 school lunches during the 2014/2015 school year which works out to on average 2,222 lunches a month over the 9 months that children are actually at school over the school year.
Research suggests that those children raised in lower income homes may have more academic struggles than those children raised in homes with enough food to go around, and with parents who don’t struggle to support their family. A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (September 2015) noted a seven year longitudinal study of brain development in in-dividuals aged 4 to 22 years which found that those individuals who lived in poverty had smaller brains and less developed areas of the brain related to academics and learning. Nutritional and food re-lated programs for families can support a change in the brain de-velopment of children while pro-viding some relief to parents who struggle daily to put food on the table.
Local food related programs such as the school breakfast and lunch programs, the Parkland Middle School salad bar program, the cooking programs for families, seniors and youth run out of the Family Connections HUB and the community produce garden are a few of the local initiatives helping families to feed their children. Free and low cost meals are pro-vided through the Salvation Army, Street Angels, and some of the local churches. Families can ac-cess a hamper once a month from the Cranbrook Food Bank and there is reduced cost grocery shopping for some items at the
Salvation Army. Local groups are working to-
wards sustainable food programs, housing shortage needs and childcare needs in Cranbrook. A provincial website has been devel-oped for families with related links to tax benefits, education and em-ployment, housing, childcare and other useful resources. http://www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/supporting_affordability/index.htm
To help locally you can join one of the working groups to end pov-erty in Cranbrook or make a dona-tion in October of toiletries or warm socks to a Cranbrook drop off location such as the Cranbrook & Area Community Foundation or Starbucks located on the strip. If you are in need of help in Cran-brook there are available resourc-es to assist with housing and homelessness, employment and training. If recreation and trans-portation are struggles there is a discounted leisure service pass and free transit available to those individuals and families who live on low income. Kidsport and Jumpstart programs can assist fi-nancially with children who would like to pursue a recreational activ-ity or join a sports club.

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll act and feel as if you are more in your element. Return calls and catch up on others’ news. You’ll want to listen for the implications surrounding someone’s statement. Your in-stincts might indicate that you need more facts. Verify this in-formation. Tonight: Be available. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be concerned about someone else’s attitude regard-ing money. You might find that this person is closing down. Have a discussion with this per-son. Relax and let go, if possible. There will be changes later, but confusion reigns right now. To-night: Pay bills first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You seem to sense various cha-otic forces around you. Tune in to what is important to you, and make what feels like the appropriate decision. You might feel energized. Others are likely to notice your charisma and re-spond accordingly. Tonight: Go for what you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sensitivity could over-whelm you today, causing your intuition to become confused. Take a walk and get some fresh air to clear your head. Know that you might need to take a stroll more than once today! Tonight: Buy a fountain on the way home. Relax to the sound of water. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You recognize the importance of networking. Plan on touching base with several key people, and make lunch plans. A part-ner, associate or dear loved one might only add to the chaos. Do your best to stay centered. Tonight: Find your friends, and make weekend plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds because you feel as though you must act a certain way. Is this based on your judg-ment, or someone else’s? Let go of your need to please others, and trust in your abilities. To-night: Whatever you are doing, you could be out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your abilities to charm others, see results and detach will come together. Still, be careful, as there could be a backfire. Not ev-eryone understands you or your personality. Authenticity will make a difference. A discussion with an expert will be fascinat-ing. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be exhausted by what is happening with a loved one. You might feel overwhelmed by all the changes going on right now. Take your time, but don’t rely on your feelings; logic is what counts. You will be in a position where you can’t say too much. Tonight: Be patient. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others encourage you to join them. You might not realize how distant you are. Consider letting go and relaxing. You will gain from the experience if you let go of a judgment that could be off. Ask yourself why you have adopted this protective stance. Tonight: Sort through offers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can be overly serious with-out intending to. You might be
focused on completing a project or getting through some work or personal calls. If you note nega-tivity coming from you, do your best to pull away before you say or do anything drastic. Tonight: Easy works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness is renowned. While others could get locked into a situation, you will bypass it with ease. Be careful with your finances, as they could be out of whack. Be sure not to sign any financial agreements or con-tracts right now. Tonight: Full of fun and games. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension builds in your person-al or domestic life. No matter what happens, you will have to come face to face with the issue. The other party involved might be touchy, but eventually he or she will become caring and understanding. Help create that moment. Tonight: At home. BORN TODAY Actress Winona Ryder (1971), actor Richard Dreyfuss (1947), comedian Fanny Brice (1891)
Dear Annie: An acquaintance recently lost his job, and we invited him and his wife to move into our home on a temporary basis. We all agreed they would live with us until one of them found another professional position. It’s been only three months, but it’s already uncomfortable. “Sue” and “Bob” do small household chores and pay a minimal amount in rent, but that doesn’t counteract the interruption they have added to our daily lives. They have taken over the fridge, the cabinets, the laundry room, the living space and the kitchen. We have no private time anymore and cannot trust them to lock doors or turn off the dryer or coffeemaker when they leave the house. They parade around the house seminude, make a lot of noise when we’re sleeping and talk while we are reading or watching TV. We have discussed these issues and others as they have come up, but it hasn’t helped. We’ve asked them to keep out of our bedrooms and home office, but the other day I found both of them coming out of the office. We do not want to put locks all over. We want to trust them, but it seems unlikely. They have made comments about our bills, which indicates they have looked at our private mail. They are supposedly applying for jobs, but so far haven’t found anything that pays what they feel they deserve. We worry we’ll be stuck with them forever. They have severance pay, unemployment and money from family members. They spend it on manicures, personal trainers and new electronics. Here’s the kicker: They are actively seeking a divorce. How do we tell them they have overstayed their welcome? -- Bad Roomies Dear Roomies: You need to set a deadline and stick to it. Tell Sue and Bob that you hadn’t anticipated the job search would take so long and you can no longer accommodate them. Give them one month to find other arrangements. Bring home boxes so they can pack (and help them along). At the end of the deadline, if they make no attempt to leave, tell them you will put their belongings on the front steps. Then change your locks. Dear Annie: My husband and son have chronic lung problems. Our son has asthma, and my husband’s lung health has gotten worse over the years. We have never been smokers, but we have tolerated our relatives who are. Lately, however, family gatherings are proving difficult. Exposure to cigarette smoke can cause my husband to have a setback and my son’s asthma to flare up. I have mentioned that their smoking causes problems, but they don’t seem to pay attention. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. If I were a smoker, I would feel terrible if I thought I caused someone else to have health problems, but they don’t seem to feel the same. Yet they would be upset if we didn’t attend these functions. Any suggestions? -- Smoked Out Dear Smoked Out: Your husband and son should not be subjected to cigarette smoke, period. Tell the relatives you love them and would enjoy spending time with them, but your family’s health comes first. Ask if they would please smoke outside. Otherwise, sorry, but you won’t be able to come. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ASSOCIATED PRESSBERLIN - Scientists
say they have detected significant amounts of molecular oxygen com-ing out of a comet, an unexpected find that may have implications for the search for alien life and understanding how the solar system formed.
Oxygen atoms are abundant throughout the universe, but be-cause they react very easily with other ele-ments they are rarely found in the molecular form known as O2. Sci-entists had previously assumed that almost all oxygen in a comet would come in the form of water (H2O), carbon monoxide (CO), or car-bon dioxide (CO2).
But using instru-ments aboard the Euro-pean spacecraft Rosetta, researchers were able to prove the existence of large amounts of O2 in the gas cloud, or coma, around the comet named 67P/Churyu-mov-Gerasimenko.
“It is the most sur-prising discovery we have made so far on 67P, because oxygen was not among the molecules expected in a cometary coma,” said Kathrin Alt-wegg, who co-authored the study published Wednesday in the jour-nal Nature.
Andre Bieler, a re-search fellow at the Uni-versity of Michigan who contributed to the study, said the constant level of molecular oxygen ob-served in the gas cloud indicates it was trapped before the comet formed and has re-mained there, un-touched, since the early days of the solar system some 4.6 billion years ago.
Altwegg said the pro-cess by which molecular oxygen got into the comet challenges some theories about how the solar system formed, theories that presume all matter was heated and then cooled. Such a process would have re-sulted in the loss of mo-
Scientists find oxygen atoms in cometlecular oxygen.
She said the finding could also have implica-tions for the hunt for life on other planets. Many scientists have assumed the presence of oxygen and methane is a good
indication of life, be-cause those molecules are a by-product of primitive life forms.
But the abundance of both on comet 67P suggests that those two molecules alone
shouldn’t automatically be taken as evidence of life, said Altwegg.
Sara Seager, a profes-sor of planetary science at the Massachusetts In-stitute of Technology who wasn’t involved in
the research, said the findings were a “wake-up call” because O2 has long been top of the list of molecules sought by scientists hoping to find evidence of life on other planets.
US fighter jets track runaway military blimp
ASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON - The
Pentagon said Wednes-day that U.S. fighter jets were tracking an un-manned Army surveil-lance blimp that tore loose from its ground tether in Maryland and drifted north over Penn-sylvania.
Details were sketchy, but a statement from the North American Aero-space Defence Com-mand in Colorado said the blimp detached from its station at Aber-deen Proving Ground, Maryland, at about 12:20 p.m. EDT.
Two F-16 fighter jets from the Atlantic City Air National Guard Base in New Jersey were monitoring the craft, which was travelling north at an altitude of about 16,000 feet.
FAA officials were working with the mili-tary to ensure air traffic safety in the area.
The aircraft is known as a Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defence Elevated Netted Sensor System and can be used as part of a missile de-fence system.
It is not yet clear how the blimp came loose.
