Friday was the grand opening ceremony for the newly constructed Aboriginal Gathering Place at the College of the Rockies.

Representatives from the College, the Ktunaxa Nation, and the local MLA talked about the partnership and cama-raderie that brought the various organizations together to complete the new building. The presentation began with

the raising of the Ktu-naxa flag, that was fol-lowed by speeches and a ribbon cutting. The grand opening took place on Friday, Oct. 31 in front of the Aboriginal Gathering Place itself, which is located at the College’s main campus in Cranbrook, which is traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation.

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair, said the new building reaffirms the commit-ment of both the Ktu-

naxa Nation and the College of the Rockies to support and enhance Aboriginal education in Ktunaxa territory.

“This close collabo-ration has resulted in this beautiful new space where students from all over the world can learn and share in a support-ive and inclusive envi-ronment,” Teneese said. She also noted the posi-tive relationship that has been developed.

The Gathering Place is meant to build bridg-

es of understanding be-tween different voices and cultures and help create a welcoming, safe and supportive learning environment for Aborig-inal students attending College of the Rockies.

College of the Rock-ies’ President and CEO David Walls noted that the Gathering Place is a place of welcome for ev-eryone within the Col-lege community and beyond it.

This fall, Wildsight hosted community apple harvest days in Kimberley and Cranbrook. A group of volunteers picked apples from unloved local trees and then invited everyone to come help with the apple juicing process. Seeing the apple juice start to flow from the press is always an exciting moment for the kids. The harvest days are a chance for anyone to try out Wildsight’s free loaner equipment including orchard ladders, pickers, apple juice presses, apple sauce makers, and dehydrators. There are still plenty of apples on local trees and it isn’t too late to make yourself some juice. See wildsight.ca/apples for all the details. Top left: Sonja running the apple press. Above, right: It starts at the top of the tree.

Representatives from the Ktunaxa Nation, the Shuswap Band, the Metis Nation and students who ac-tually worked to build the Gathering Place were among the invited guests for the event which commenced with the raising of a Ktunaxa

flag outside of the College.Students in the College of

the Rockies’ construction trades programs participat-ed in the building of the Gathering Place, which re-ceived funding from the Ministry of Advanced Educa-tion and Columbia Basin

Trust. Ktunaxa Elder Herman

Alpine provided a blessing for the building in a sunrise ceremony prior to the official grand opening. The Aborigi-nal Gathering Place holds a particularly special signifi-cance for Alpine as he and his family once lived where

the Gathering Place now sits.Speakers included Col-

lege of the Rockies Board of Governors’ Chair Dave Handy, Minister Bill Bennett, Kathryn Teneese and Gwen Phillips from the Ktunaxa Nation as well as Marilyn Taylor from the Metis Na-tion.

Additional funds were provided by Teck Resources and the Ktunaxa Nation.

“By offering a gathering place, College of the Rockies is helping Aboriginal stu-dents feel welcome and sup-ported in an environment for success in post-secondary education,” East Kootenay

MLA Bill Bennett said. “The college plays an important role in the community that is further enhanced by this welcoming gathering place.”

The Aboriginal Gathering Place will be open for public viewing on Nov. 5 from 1–4 p.m.

The shelter is run out of the Kootenay Valley Community Church lo-cation at 533 Slater Road across the railroad tracks.

The funding, which is a part of the Extreme Weather Response Pro-gram, will help provide a place for homeless men and women to sleep and stay warm, with access to meals and showers.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said the EWRP funding is im-portant because it usu-ally comes with some strings attached.

“In bigger places, BC Housing has this pro-vincial policy that re-quires shelters to only be open when weather conditions cross a cer-tain threshold, but in those bigger places, even the size of Kam-

loops, Kelowna and Prince George, there are other options for [home-less] people,” Bennett said.

“There are no other options in Cranbrook and BC Housing, to their credit, accepted the argument and has been steadfast.”

The shelter will be open from Nov. 1 to March 31.

It’s a good year to get a shot of influenza vac-cine early, says Provin-cial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall.

“We’re already start-ing to see some influen-za activity around the province, which sug-gests that this flu season may be coming earlier

than past flu seasons,” Kendall said this week.

Kendall joined Health Minister Terry Lake and other MLAs who rolled up their sleeves to receive their annual flu shots at the B.C. legislature.

Lake said flu vaccina-tion is on the upswing in B.C., with last year set-ting a record for doses of

vaccine administered. That includes 76 per cent of health care workers, who are now required to get vaccinat-ed or wear a mask in patient care areas during the winter flu season.

Contrary to popular misconceptions about “stomach flu” or “24-hour flu,” influenza is a

severe respiratory disor-der caused by a group of viruses that circulate globally.

The Public Health Agency of Canada esti-mates that 3,500 people per year die of compli-cations from influenza, particularly seniors and people with underlying conditions such as asth-ma. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vac-cine-prevented diseases combined.

Flu shots can be ob-tained from doctors’ of-fices, pharmacies and public health facilities. To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call Health-Link BC at 8-1-1 or visit the influenza clinic find-er at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu.

Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children be-tween six months and five years of age, seniors 65 and over, pregnant women, aboriginal peo-ple, anyone with a chronic health condi-tion or compromised immune system and those who live with or plan to visit a person with high risk of compli-cations.

Flu season may be early this year

The Laurie School Band students helped clean up the City of Cranbrook on Saturday, October 18. Students hit the streets and collected dozens of bags of garbage. The Garbathon is a great way for the students to say thank you to the Community for their ongoing support. Watch for the kids again in April as they’ll be out again cleaning up after the snow melts.

An audit has revealed that the chief and one councillor at the Shuswap Indian Band are among the highest paid in the province.

The First Nations Financial Trans-parency Act was enacted earlier in 2014, which now requires First Na-tions to post online their audited fi-nancial statements for the last fiscal year. Among the new figures listed are the salaries of chief and council.

The numbers submitted by the Shuswap Band show Chief Paul Sam to have earned $202,413 over the pe-riod of 12 months, followed closely by councillor Alice Sam who earned $202,000. The third council member, Barbara Cote, was paid $57,700 over the same timeframe. The publication of these documents was initially de-layed as the band changed auditors twice before submitting the report.

In contrast to the numbers sub-mitted by the Akisqnuk First Nation, Chief Lorne Shovar and each mem-ber of his council were paid $18,200 (with exception to one council posi-tion that was fragmented by two band members, but funds were distributed evenly).

“We don’t want to be earmarked as a band that doesn’t meet its require-ments to its people, because that’s the farthest thing from the truth,” said Chief Paul Sam’s son, Dean Martin, the chief executive officer of the Kin-basket Development Corporation (KDC). The KDC is a corporate exten-sion of the Shuswap Band, to which every member is a stakeholder.

He said his father’s income has accumulated as a result of holding the position of chief for 34 years and for overseeing substantial economic prosperity.

“We’re one of the highest paid bands there’s no doubt, but it’s one of the richest bands,” he said.

The Shuswap territory encom-passes roughly 2,500 acres. Amid eco-nomic distress in 1996, the band des-ignated 500 of those acres for devel-opment.

“Through that designation, it opened up an opportunity for us to leverage that land for money to devel-op on,” Mr. Martin said. “This band did that the conventional way. We built our economy through hard work right here.”

Those developments have brought the band’s total asset value to $75,000,000, he said. Also worth tak-ing into account, said Mr. Martin, are the travel costs and retirement sav-ings of First Nations leaders, which he said accounts for 30 to 40 per cent of their income.

“In my mind, $140,000 or $150,000 (after considering the deduction of retirement and travel expenses) for 34 years of work on what these guys run — $75,000,000 worth of assets — they’re still underpaid,” Mr. Martin said.

But Barbara Cote, the lesser paid council member, finds these numbers deceiving.

“If we are so rich, I want to ask, where is the money?” she said.

The wealth that has accumulated through developments on Shuswap land has not benefitted the majority of the band’s members, she said.

“As a councillor, I have had an elder phone me for water in the win-ter.”

To help the elder get his water run-ning, Ms. Cote said she went to the KDC to ask for help. “Apparently we had no money.”

But Gordie Martin, Shuswap pub-lic relations, refutes that claim, saying that members living on the reserve are not going without essential ser-vices. “We have the resources to help these people out and we do.”

Ms. Cote is very relieved by the re-sults of the Transparency Act.

“We now have the numbers,” she said. “Some of our people are living in poverty, and it should never, ever have taken place.”

The Shuswap population does not elect their chief, but rather elects three council members. Once elect-ed, those three councillors decide who takes the reigns of chief, and they also determine the level of compen-sation.

Asked why her salary was only about one-quarter of Alice Paul’s — the other Shuswap councillor — Ms. Cote said, “I am just as surprised as all of Canada that there was such a dif-ference in honoraria. Personally, I would never have taken that much from the people who elected me to work for them. I would rather see that money go towards programs that help our community.”

Gordie Martin argues that the wages are fair.

“[Paul and Alice Sam are compen-sated] way below somebody working for 34 years at one job; it hasn’t even been kept up with the cost of living,” he said. Regarding Ms. Cote’s relative-ly low pay, he said “if you have a ball team, and you have a rookie coming in, unless it was Michael Jordan or something, would you pay a zillion dollars? No. You have to prove your-self.”

Ms. Cote said these issues haven’t been discussed at council because no formal meetings are held.

“We haven’t had a band meeting in eight years — only a chief can call a band meeting, and he hasn’t called one,” she said.

Gordie Martin denies this, stating council meetings are held every month.

The lack of leadership has caused the community to become dysfunc-tional, Ms. Cote said, and that the level of inequality has continually worsened in the past two decades. Along with her colleagues Alice and Paul Sam, Ms. Cote is also running for reelection.

Voting takes place on Saturday, Nov. 7. Also running for Shuswap council are Annanette Eugene, Pau-line Eugene, Timothy Eugene, Rosali-ta Ita, Alice Sam, Paul Sam, Lawrence Thomas, Suzanne Thomas, and Doro-thy Warbrick.

“You don’t tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be elusive.” Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher

“In politics stupidity is not a handicap.” Anonymous

Despite numerous requests from supposedly sensible people for me to write columns about politics, I

adamantly refuse. I know nothing about politics ex-cept that the whole sordid business is thoroughly con-fusing. I mean, why does an apparently sane person be-come involved in such she-nanigans? Is it an ego trip? Is that person bored with life and desperately in search of a hobby?

No, thank you very much. I’ll stay right out of the fray and just hope that the next councillor, MLA, MP even, doesn’t screw up too much. After all, democracy is a pro-cess by which the people are free to choose the person who will get the blame but, there again, bad officials are elected by good people who do not vote. It’s a prob-lem. As George Bernard Shaw said, “De-mocracy is a device which ensures that we shall be governed no better than we de-serve.”

I’ll stay out of the whole kit and caboo-dle because politicians have to go to meet-ings, and I hate meetings. Some potential

politicians are like opera singers and love the sound of their own voices but, to me, sleep or a drunken stupor is the only way to listen to either of them. I am not inclined to be impressed.

Even though there are far more interest-ing things to talk about, like soccer scores and the great weather we’ve been having, folk still say, “Surely, you’re going to vote, right?” but I am inclined to think ‘why’. All

the candidates assure me what they think I would like to hear, and feed me statis-tics.

Well, I was once trained in statistics by an astute statistician who, at the end of an intensive course told us naïve students, “Now, go

forth and prove whatever you want to prove: black is really white; wealth is mere-ly an over-abundance of poverty; that 50 per cent could be smaller or even larger than a half.” I remember nodding and try-ing hard to look sagacious, but I was really disillusioned.

Some folk, I feel, treat public office as a part-time job, one way of helping to fill the otherwise empty hours of retirement from real employment. Fortunately, I have plen-ty to do, thank you. In fact, the way my re-tirement life is at the present moment, I wouldn’t have the time to go out and get even a part-time job.

One politician with high aspirations

told me plaintively that there was nowhere in town where a man might buy a suit. Quite frankly, I refuse to get involved in anything that involves my wearing a suit. I recall Thoreau’s comment: distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.

I was out walking in the sunshine today — not at a meeting, not wearing a suit —and several people spoke to me and didn’t once try to sell me an idea. I wonder if it would be that way if I were to even write about politics, let alone get involved.

It must be harder — worse even — than raising a family when you get involved with politics, unless you happen to be some kind of masochist: listening to people’s pet peeves and attempting to appease the most strident. We’ve all tried that, right?

The trouble with free elections is you never know who is going to get elected and this is because those elections are won by strange men and women that you and other particular folk probably voted against rather than for.

Intelligence has nothing to do with pol-itics. When a politician speaks of ‘every in-telligent voter’, he or she means ‘anyone who is going to vote for him or her’.

I recall talking to a retired politician who assured me that she loved to watch that British show ‘Yes, Prime Minister’ where the PM invariably ends up achiev-ing the opposite of what he’d set out to do because of the conniving civil servants. “That is so true,” she assured me.

Letters to the editorMosquitos, etc

Enjoying bird and animal watching, and being aware that birds in particular are disappearing at an alarming rate here in the Kootenays, as in the rest of the world, it’s disappointing that once again the spectre of fearmongering comes to the fore. In the name of protecting people from diseases such as west nile virus, pro-ponents are recommending the annihila-tion of mosquitos which feed insectivores such as swallows, fly catchers, etc., am-phibians such as frogs, toads, etc., and bats, many of which are becoming more & more endangered,

Birds that use to be common here in Cranbrook before the mosquito treatment started are scarce now, so expanding the program will also expand their disappear-ance. Nature is interconnected, so loss of each creature affects others.

I suspect the real motivation of propo-nents of this idea is profit for companies like Culex Environment Ltd. who would like to grow their business from servicing Cranbrook to also servicing Bull River, Fort Steele, Mayook, Wardner Colony Road, and Norbury Lakes communities.

For those who are concerned about protection, according to the Centre for Disease Control, “You can reduce your risk of being infected with WNV by using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites.”

It’s good the residents of RDEK Area C voted down the proposal to have a mos-quito treatment plan when last asked some 10 years or more ago. Perhaps again the residents will see through this attempt to spend their hard earned money on an unnecessary and harmful plan to further sterilize the natural environment in the name of concern for human health!

Fluoride referendumAs a concerned citizen of area C, I

wrote an article this summer highlighting the pitfalls that fluoride removal from the city water supply could lead to. I relayed some of my experience gained as I anes-thetized well over 1200 children ages 2-12 that required extensive dental restorations due to tooth abscesses and a mouth full of pus from dental decay.

This Anti Fluoride internet campaign has been ongoing for many years. Sadly individuals are lead astray by so called “reputable internet articles” The fact that highly respected and scientifically based organizations such as the Centre for Dis-ease Control, Atlanta, Georgia; The World health organization; Canadian and Amer-ican Dental and Medical associations sup-port fluoride addition to drinking water (of .7 ppm or 0.7 mg/Liter) seems to be lost in the anti-fluoride baffle gab.

Whitehorse Yukon (same size as Cran-brook) voted it’s fluoride out in the mid 1990’s by a referendum, which passed due to lack of information and voter apathy. Now every Yukon dentist can attest to the deterioration of the teeth of the “at risk” populations consisting of children and el-ders. The Cranbrook Dentists can also tell you whether a child comes from an area without fluoridated water such as Kimber-ley.

So who needs the fluoride? Women, between 3 and 9 months pregnant, while their baby is developing its first tooth buds in Utero; Children ages 0-10; Most elders

with receding gum margins and exposed tooth roots and folks with Dementia who are unable to look after their own personal needs.

Readers of this letter, your vote on No-vember 15 probably won’t affect you in the short run. Most likely you have a dental plan; ensure your children brush and have regular dental check-ups. Your vote “against” the resolution to remove fluoride will go a long way in protecting the 60% of the population who don’t vote. You will continue to protect those too young or unable to vote. The health of our extended community is important to all of us! Chil-dren with dental abscesses are ill; in pain; can’t eat and they become behavior prob-lems at home and in school. Their behav-ior affects your children as well. Their families have more illnesses. Heart attacks and Coronary heart disease have been as-sociated with the mouth bacteria which cause dental caries.

Given Canadians now consume on av-erage 150 pounds of sugar per person per year. The need for Fluoride is even more important. Fluoride is a simple public health measure providing the greatest good for the greatest number. Please vote “No” to the referendum and keep fluoride in your water!

election issuesPotholes and roads seem to be the

main debate in every civic election that I recall going back 20 years of watching our local council. In our opinion, this election should be about fiscal restraint and more efficiency found within the City budgets. Our municipality has been quick to go back to the taxpayer for increases and new funding for projects that perhaps we should be refraining from. A City’s core focus should be on roads, sewer, water, emergency services and recreational ser-vices. Albeit, we would all like to see im-proved social conditions within our com-munity we need to truly examine the roles and responsibilities of our municipal gov-ernment.

The increase in property tax every year is becoming too much of a norm and ac-cepted by the community on a larger scale. If this path continues taxes, will not be affordable and could create future eco-nomic hardship for residents, and stifle economic growth in the community. The City of Cranbrook is the 4th highest taxed municipality within our population cate-gory in the province, in both the residen-tial and business classifications according to information obtained from Civic Info BC. In the past three years we have seen our Council raise property taxes over 12%. Yet the Consumer Price Index in BC has increased 3.4% over the same period of time from stats obtained from Statistics Canada. In 2011 a home in Cranbrook, that was reflective of the average sale price in the City had 2010 property taxes of $2,294.00 that same home now has a 2014 tax bill of $2,737.00 nearly 19% higher in 4 years. This analysis takes into consider-ation tax rates and fluctuating assessed values. Cranbrook is already at a disad-vantage on a competitive tax scale to at-tract business & residents and yet the 5 year financial plan shows that we are going to continue down this dangerous path.

The City’s 5 year financial plan is pro-jecting revenue from taxation to be more

than 25% higher than 2014. This forecast-ed increase somehow will have to come from the tax base. Examining the 5 year financial plan there are several budget items that need to be questioned by candi-dates. Scrutinize the City’s annual reports available on their website and see the in-credible growth in spending over the past 3 years. Now I am sure there are reason-able explanations to all of this spending, but as taxpayers can we afford it? As tax-payers we should be asking all of our can-didates including the incumbents “How will you manage our taxpaying dollar bet-ter? “ Our current council has been caught in spending nightmares that are abundant and wasteful.

So, should this election be about roads? Or should it be about fiscal restraint. If we manage the taxpayer dollars better at city hall perhaps then we could find the re-sources to adequately fund the core ser-vices of our municipality including roads. As a taxpayer are you prepared for a 25% increase in taxation over the next 5 years? It was Benjamin Franklin who said “Watch the Pennies and the Dollars will take care of themselves…”

election issuesIn 2011 the Provincial Government in-

creased the home owner grant by $200.00 from carbon tax revenues to help seniors 65+ years of age. Unfortunately waving a few bucks in front of City Management, the Mayor & Councillors is like a Red Cape to El Toro, they charged right in like they felt they were entitled to half the se-niors windfall and increased the flat tax by $100.00 to create a Infrastructure reserve fund.

In 2011 this new tax generated revenue of $287,695 with no expenditures. In 2012 it generated an additional $302,583. Ex-penditures included Gerry Sorenson pav-ing $14,827, Archibald Bridge$49,370, Mark Creek Slough $30,000, Marsden Bridge $20,000. Fund Balance $476,081. Revenue in 2013 was $314,812. Expendi-tures included Gerry Sorenson paving $5,090, Halpin retaining walls $20,000, 5th Ave storm main $21,714, Rotary Dr. Paving $508,652, Waldie road paving $7,033, Knighton Rd. Paving $97,382, Levirs Pav-ing $42,843. Fund balance $88,178. Reve-nue in 2014 was $327,707 Expenditures include Dahlgren storm main $70,000, 5Th Ave. Storm main $ 54,198, Ross/Knighton storm $160,000, St. Mary paving $30,980, Ditches & swales $$40,000, Deac-tivate watershed road $20,000, Decom-mission sidewalks $20,000, Sidewalk let-downs & curbs. Fund balance $707.00.

In summary this tax only applies to residential property owners so residential taxpayers footed 100% of the cost of all the above listed expenditures totalling $1,232,089.00. Also, this program was so popular with the City; they have decided to come back for the other half of the home owner grant by establishing a new $107.59 water and sewer flat tax which will be included in your property tax bill in 2015. This new flat tax coupled with a $100.00 increase in your annual water, sewer garbage fees will amount to another sad day for Kimberley seniors and proba-bly most other residents as well.

Return of ReinhartStar forward assigned back to Ice by NHL’s Buffalo Sabres

Chris Pullen Photo/CranbrookPhoto.Com

Star forward Sam Reinhart is heading back to Cranbrook after the Buffalo Sabres assigned him to the Kootenay Ice Friday morning.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Sam Reinhart is com-ing back to Cranbrook.

The Buffalo Sabres assigned the 18-year-old forward to the Kootenay Ice Friday morning.

“Getting a player back of the calibre of Sam Reinhart, Christ-mas has come early for our organization,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. “We didn’t expect to get him back, but we have and we’ll do whatever we can to get him ready to play at the next level next year.

“I think it will be great for our hockey club. His leadership will be felt throughout the rest of the dressing room.”

Reinhart is expected back in Cranbrook by midweek, meaning he could be available to suit up for the Ice as early as Friday when the Edmon-ton Oil Kings visit West-ern Financial Place.

“Obviously we all wanted the best for him -- to play pro -- but, it works out we’ve got the

best player in the league coming to our team,” said Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau Saturday night. “He just makes everyone around him better. He’s a good lead-er. He’s our captain. He’s going to help lead by ex-ample and try to help us get back in the win col-umn.”

The Sabres made the announcement via Twitter Friday, Oct. 31.

“He’s just not heavy enough. He’s not strong enough yet,” said Sabres general manager Tim Murray in a team press conference Oct. 31. “As it went on here, it looked like he came up to the pace of the game. To me, that’s not an issue. Just by getting stronger, he’s going to get quicker and faster.

“It’s not hockey sense, it’s not skill [that is the issue]. For me, it’s strength. If he had been playing second-line minutes, we might not be having this conversa-tion right now.

“I told him, you’re my first first-round draft

pick as a GM. Obviously, I was cheering for him. But I can’t let emotion come into play in the decision. It has to be the decision that’s right for, number one, the organi-zation, and number two, him.”

Reinhart, the sec-ond-overall selection at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, skated in nine games with the Sabres, tallying one assist.

He played his ninth game for the Sabres Oct. 30, seeing the ice for eight shifts, in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Bos-ton Bruins.

“Every player is dif-ferent, but our main concern is what’s best for Sam,” said Sabres coach Ted Nolan in a team press conference Oct. 31.

“The consensus was, we all know his hockey intelligence, we all know he’s going to be a big, big player here down the road. Sometimes that human develop-ment happens natural-ly. He’s going to get stronger naturally.

“He’s a fine young man.”

As captain of the Kootenay Ice during the 2013-14 WHL season, the native of North Van-couver led the team with 105 points (36G, 69A) in 60 games.

He was named the WHL Player of the Year, in addition to being rec-ognized as the WHL’s Most Sportsmanlike Player and CHL Sports-man of the Year. The 185-pound forward was named to Canada’s Entry at the 2014 World Junior Hockey Champi-onship where he posted two goals and five points in seven games.

Reinhart was also a member of Team WHL’s entry into the 2013 WHL Super Series as well as the WHL East First All-Star Team.

“It’s obviously a really big boost,” said forward Levi Cable Saturday night. “He’s probably one of the better players in the league, if not the best. He not only brings that on the ice, but he brings a lot of leadership

in the room. That’ll be really nice to have.”

In 201 career WHL games, the son of for-

mer NHLer Paul Rein-hart has racked up 101 goals and 153 assists, good for 254 points.

He was the first round selection (10th overall) of the Kootenay Ice at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft.

Drama in IcelandKootenay Ice halt seven-game skid with offensive flurry against Hurricanes

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

It happened in the blink of an eye.

The puck had barely been dropped before Kootenay Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau broke into Lethbridge Hurricanes territory, split the defence and slid the overtime winner past goaltender Zac Ro-bidoux, vaulting the Ice to a 6-5 triumph.

“[Luke Philp] made a good play protecting the puck off the face-off and brought it over, kind of tried to go into their zone but got held up,” Descheneau said after the win. “I went over to help him and luckily the puck came to me. When I got it, their [defence-men’s] gap wasn’t very good so I had a lot of space to try to do some-thing and luckily I was able to get around their ‘D’ and slide it through the five-hole.”

It took Descheneau a mere 10 seconds to score Saturday’s game-winner, a stark contrast to his team’s losing streak that seemed to have stretched on for ages.

Descheneau’s eighth goal of the year prevent-ed an eight-game losing skid for the Kootenay Ice, whose overtime de-feat of the Lethbridge Hurricanes was the team’s first victory since a 1-0 shutout of the Re-gina Pats Oct. 17.

“It’s huge. Right now we’re just taking it in, but one game’s not going to do anything for us,” De-scheneau added. “We need to roll here. We’re going to have a good week of practice and get things going next week-end. A couple wins next weekend would be huge for us to get ourselves back in the mix.”

The 19-year-old winger finished the night with a goal and two assists.

Despite the jubila-tion following the game, the win didn’t come easy for Descheneau and the Ice.

After opening up a four-goal lead before the mid-mark of the second period, the Ice surren-dered five consecutive goals to the Hurricanes, including three to over-age forward Zane Jones.

Jones was discarded by the Everett Silvertips early in the season, trad-ed to the Hurricanes for a fourth-round bantam pick. The 6-foot-3 wing-er carried the Hurri-canes on his back Satur-day night, capitalizing three times in a span of 9:47 during the second period.

Forward Taylor Coo-per capped the visitors’ offensive storm with a third-period goal after being left completely alone on the doorstep of Wyatt Hoflin’s crease.

The marker turned Western Financial Place

into a library as the 2,113 in attendance were silenced.

“We need to not get ahead of ourselves,” said forward Levi Cable. “When we had the 4-0 lead, we need to keep our D-zone and not just worry about the offen-sive zone. We’ve got to worry about the defen-sive zone first and then offense will come.”

With 1:34 to play in regulation, the hosts were on the receiving end of a two-man ad-vantage after defence-man Andrew Nielsen hauled down Austin Vet-terl in the slot. With Hof-lin on the bench for a sixth attacker, defence-man Rinat Valiev un-loaded a cannon from the point, which car-omed off the back boards to Cable who managed to bank it past Robidoux to force overtime.

“It actually was an-other lucky one,” Cable said with a laugh. “It just ended up going off the goalie’s back, off the post and in. Fortunate for that bounce, but glad it went in.”

The veteran forward earned his third of the season in Friday night’s

7-3 loss to the Red Deer Rebels. Another dou-ble-bank shot from Cable victimized Rebels goaltender Rylan Toth after first hitting iron.

Cable, a 20-year-old native of Hudson Bay, Man., had himself a strong weekend offen-sively, registering three

goals and two as-sists in two games.

Hoflin started both games for the Ice, turn-ing aside 39 of the 51 shots he faced.

Skating alongside veterans Descheneau and Luke Philp, Austin Vetterl earned himself two assists in Friday’s loss before adding two

more helpers Saturday.“Those two guys are

pretty skilled players,” Vetterl said Friday. “I just get them the puck, try to create space for them and get open or get to the net and keep my stick on the ice, because you know those guys are going to find me.”

Philp and defence-

man Rinat Valiev each had productive four-point weekends. Philp gathered a goal and three assists, while the big Russian blue-liner blasted two goals and added two assists.

The win boosts Koo-tenay’s record to 4-13-0-0.

Next up, the Ice host

the Edmonton Oil Kings (9-5-0-2) Friday, Nov. 7. The Hurricanes look to-wards the Swift Current Broncos (10-7-0-2), who visit Lethbridge the same night.

Notes: F Tim Bozon, F Jon Martin, D Tyler Mar-tin and D Tanner Faith all missed Saturday’s game due to injury, leav-

ing the Ice to skate one player short of a full bench. Faith was banged up following a fight with Rebels defenceman Devan Fafard late in Fri-day’s 7-3 loss…F Sam Re-inhart was not available for either game and is expected to join the team this week...

Dramatic end to losing streak for IceContinued from page 8

Bruins extend coach JulienAssoCiAted Press

BOSTON - Claude Julien, who led the Bos-ton Bruins to the play-offs in each of his seven full seasons as coach, has signed a multiyear contract extension.

Julien coached the Bruins to the Stanley Cup championship in 2010-11 and is the lon-gest serving coach in consecutive seasons in the team’s history.

“Claude is one of the top coaches in the NHL and has consistently shown a passion for winning,” general man-ager Peter Chiarelli said Sunday in announcing the signing. The length of the extension was not disclosed.

Julien is in his eighth season with the Bruins and is the second-lon-gest tenured NHL coach with the same team. Mike Babcock is in his 10th season with the Detroit Red Wings.

“Coaching is a diffi-cult profession at the best of times and what Claude does in imple-menting structure in his systems, and having a solid defensive founda-tion while allowing free-dom in offensive play is no easy task,” Chiarelli said. “During his time with the Bruins, he has excelled in maintaining this difficult balance, and his longevity here speaks volumes.”

Julien also led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals in 2012-13, but lost in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks.

He has a 317-171-65 record with them and led the Bruins to the NHL’s best regular-sea-son record in 2013-14. They’ve been hurt by in-juries to defencemen this season and are off to a mediocre start with a 7-6 record after Satur-day night’s 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.

For the TownsmanThis past year has

been a whirlwind for Vernon based Modern Celtic Folk Rock band, Cod Gone Wild, per-forming over 125 shows across Western Canada in 2013 and are on track to do about the same this year after a crazy summer that saw the band travel as far south as San Francisco and as far north as Fort Mc-Murray and many plac-es in between.

Things are not about to slow down for the band, as they are plan-ning even more shows and travel this year with dates booked into 2016.

The band was also selected to perform at various summer music festivals all over West-ern Canada in 2014, in-cluding headlining the Kootenay Music Festi-val in Castlegar and Arts on the Edge in Kimberley.

“The Kootenay’s have been very kind to us over the last couple of years,” says Andrew Mercer, lead singer/guitarist and trans-planted Newfound-

lander.“We always get so

much support and ap-preciative audiences in the region and we can’t wait to perform for the first time in Cranbrook at the Key City The-atre!”

The Cods did man-age to fit in some time to write and record a new album last winter entitled “Battered and Fried,” which was re-leased in conjunction with their annual St. Patrick’s Day shows in communities around the Okanagan Valley. An album that Mercer says represents the evolution of the band.

“We are extremely proud of the new re-cord. As a group of mu-sicians playing together for the last three years, we have evolved musi-cally as a group and as individuals. The new album represents just that and we have found our sound, developed our style, and have set the bar a little higher for ourselves and for what is to come in the future.”

Submit tedThe managers and staff at the

Cranbrook BMO Bank of Mon-treal had a little extra fun this Halloween when Mary Quinn, BMO Branch Manager asked EK-FH’s Donna Grainger to drop into the branch for a costume filled visit.

The financial institution was decorated to the rafters and treats were available at every service counter. However, the special treat Mary and the BMO team had for EKFH is a $5,000 gift to the Starlite Campaign.

BMO and EKFH have worked

together on many projects in the past. This current gift of $5,000 will be one of the Leadership Gifts as part of the soon to be re-leased Intensive Care Capital Campaign. The regional hospital foundation is undertaking a major campaign to purchase crit-ical medical equipment for the new 6-bed intensive care unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital. The ICU equipment fund-raising goal is $1 million.

EKFH has committed to raise funds for the equipment which frees up a portion of Ministry and KERHD funding for the project

that will now be used to renovate the old ICU area into which the existing pediatric unit will move.

EKFH will officially launch its new ICU equipment campaign in the weeks ahead. Fundraising for the ICU equipment will also be-come the focal point for EKFH’s annual holiday fundraiser the Starlite Campaign.

Thank you BMO…. Your leadership gift will become the 2nd star to light the path for oth-ers who find themselves in need of the best in intensive care at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Second Star for Starlite a BMO Halloween Treat

The potential Hal-loween arrival of a smartphone-based ride service has established taxi companies spooked, and B.C. poli-ticians warning about the consequences for passenger safety and the viability of local busi-nesses.

Ride sharing busi-nesses such as Uber are welcome in B.C. as long as they follow the same rules as taxi and limou-sine companies, includ-ing a chauffeur driver’s licence, inspection and taxi licensing required by provincial law, Trans-portation Minister Todd Stone says.

Stone said Uber tried to operate in B.C. in 2012 but didn’t acquire licenses and was shut down by a cease-and-desist order from the ministry’s Passenger Transportation Branch, which regulates taxis. He called a news confer-ence after reports that Uber was restarting op-

erations in Vancouver, where customers fre-quently complain they can’t get a taxi on busy weekend nights.

Stone said anyone caught regularly provid-ing rides for money without a taxi licence faces a fine up to $1,000. If they are in an acci-dent, their passengers are covered by third-par-ty liability insurance, but ICBC warns that the driver or vehicle owner takes the insurance risk.

A driver in an acci-dent while working for Uber would likely be found in breach of ICBC insurance terms, and could be required to repay claims made against the driver as well as for the driver’s own injuries and vehicle damage, said ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman.

NDP leader John Horgan called his own news conference at the legislature, flanked by representatives of Victo-ria cab companies. Hor-gan is introducing a pri-

vate members’ bill next week that calls for fines to be raised as high as $20,000.

Sean Convy, general manager of Victoria Taxi, said there are mul-tiple cases of personal injury lawsuits against Uber, which takes reve-nues from taxi compa-nies but whose drivers don’t meet the same regulations.

“We pay on average $12-15,000 per vehicle a year to be safe on the roads,” Convy said. “That’s an assurance that the passengers jumping into our vehi-cles can give to them-selves when they ride with us.”

Uber invites private vehicle owners to sign up and takes a 20 per cent share of fares they collect. Customers download a smart-phone app that identi-fies where and when they want a ride and pay the fare through the Uber network.

c anadian PreSSBANFF, Alta. - Prime Minister Ste-

phen Harper is playing tour guide today as he hosts the president of France in Banff National Park in Al-berta.

Francois Hollande is the first French president to make an official visit to western Canada.

Harper met Hollande in Calgary this morning and the two will make the 90 minute trip to Banff by car.

They’re expected to discuss greater co-operation on international security and threats, trade and economic de-velopment, innovation, and broader people-to-people ties.

Hollande will also address Parlia-ment and is also scheduled to visit Montreal and Quebec City.

While in Banff both men will at-tend a state dinner hosted by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.

The last French president to make a formal state visit to Canada was

Francois Mitterrand in 1987, although Nicholas Sarkozy attended a Europe-an Union-Canada summit in 2008.

Hollande will be accompanied by several cabinet ministers and a large business and academic delegation.

France is Canada’s eighth-largest commercial partner, with bilateral merchandise trade totalling more than $8.5 billion in 2013.

A senior Conservative cabinet minister said it is significant that Hol-lande has decided to visit Western Canada.

“It’s not a coincidence that Presi-dent Hollande asked to come to Al-berta because I think the Europeans increasingly see Alberta as an engine of the Canadian economy. I think the largest French investments in Canada are here,” said federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney.

“Many European and governments around the world are growing their footprint in Alberta for that reason.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your internal clock might be instrumental in determining which way you go. Your energy could be off in the morning, so maintain a low profile. By mi-dafternoon, you’ll be more will-ing to have an uncomfortable conversation in order to balance a situation. Tonight: As you like it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will see a big difference in your life if you follow your sixth sense. Move quickly this morn-ing, as strong actions seem to have even more clout. You could be exhausted by a conversation, which might encourage you to lie low. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be rethinking an important decision involving a close friend. You would like to see this relationship evolve to a new level. Understand that you have a lot to accomplish right now. Trust that your bond will

evolve appropriately. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to try some-thing new. Pressure is likely to build around some decisions you must make, as those in charge could be quite demanding. Un-derstand that you will need to adjust your attitude. Tonight: Test the water before you dive in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A disparity seems to exist be-tween what you say and what you feel. You might not be in a position to reveal your true thoughts. Someone could pick up on the fact that you are not being authentic. Make a point of clearing the air. Tonight: Let off some steam. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to read between the lines and allow more clarity into an issue will come through for you. What you think about a money situation could be differ-ent from reality. Look at a loved one’s reaction to you; it will tell you a lot. Tonight: Accept an in-vitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to have a dis-cussion that is way overdue. Your beliefs and feelings are im-portant, and they could be chal-lenged by someone you respect. Do not get upset; instead, look at what you can do to improve your style of communicating. Tonight: Follow a friend’s lead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in the uncertain position of having to make a choice. While you might view a solution as being unworkable, others will seem to think dif-ferently. Consider asking some deliberate questions in order to tap into their way of thinking. Tonight: Not to be found. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be out of sync with a friend or in a meeting. You will sense that there is an issue, but you might have difficulty resolv-ing it. You easily could become irritated, and might need to head in a different direction. Tonight: Celebrate good times! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to try to im-prove your situation, but no one seems to be letting you know

what you need to do. Perhaps someone is very jealous of you and is influencing others. Open up conversations in the morn-ing, but expect to do some hard thinking later on. Tonight: Order in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Continue to use care with your finances. How you see an im-portant matter could change af-ter you have a conversation with a special friend. A demanding boss or relative is likely to take up a lot of your time. You might wonder how to say “enough.” Tonight: Hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be close to getting past a limitation that has been holding you back. It will be im-portant to have a conversation with a key person in your life. Reach out to someone at a dis-tance who can shed some light on the situation. Tonight: Surf the Web. BORN TODAY Actor Charles Bronson (1921), comedian Roseanne Barr (1952), comedian Dennis Miller (1953)

Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old high school freshman who is depressed about my future. As a result of my premature birth, I have a heart defect and lung problems and am very small for my age. Recently, my family went to a local park. It was humid, and I was so worn out that my older brother let me ride on his back. Some classmates saw me and thought it was funny, so now all the kids at school have nicknamed me “Baby.” But what really depresses me is the thought that I’m always going to be smaller than my peers. My doctor estimates I proba-bly won’t grow taller than 5-foot-1. I want to be a normal teenager. I want a girlfriend and to have fun hanging out with my friends. Our school is having a freshman dance. I want to take a date, but every girl I have asked has turned me down, and some have even laughed at me. One female friend told me girls think I’m cute, but they’d be em-barrassed to be seen with me. I am scared this is how things are always going to be for me. I don’t want to live a lonely life. I want to have kids someday. I have had fleeting thoughts of suicide, but I would never do that to my family. Any advice on how I can make myself taller so girls will stop seeing me as a little kid? -- Too Small Dear Too Small: We won’t lie to you. It is more difficult for men of small stature to attract women, but it isn’t impossible. First, you have to meet girls who are more ma-ture than 14-year-olds who are overly con-cerned with appearances. You’ll have better luck out of high school. In the meantime, develop your personality so you are attrac-tive to someone who is interested in a kind, decent, intelligent guy with a good sense of humor, no matter how tall he is. And for inspiration, consider all the male celebri-ties who are not exactly towering over you -- guys like Prince, Jon Stewart, Tom Cruise, Martin Scorsese, Kevin Hart, Josh Hutch-erson, Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman, Spud Webb, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Si-mon, James Madison and Seth Green. Their height didn’t stop them. Dear Annie: My parents divorced 10 years ago. My two sisters and I, all in our 30s, re-acted very differently when Dad recently remarried. I was delighted to see him with someone who makes him happy. His new wife is a pleasant lady who is nice to us and fully understands that she is not our mother. My sisters, however, declared that they want nothing to do with his new wife, al-though they’ll keep seeing Dad. I told them their attitude is silly, childish and unwork-able. Now they have turned on me, claiming that I am “insensitive.” I think their selfish-ness and sense of possession are beyond all reason. What do you think? -- Troubled in New York Dear N.Y.: Your sisters are behaving like jealous lovers. It may even be misplaced “loyalty” to Mom. But you need to stay out of it. Simply tell your sisters that however they choose to treat Dad and his wife is up to them, but you plan to welcome her with open arms because she makes Dad happy. Then say no more about it. Their attitude is not your responsibility. We hope, in time, they will come around. Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Unhappy Neighbor,” who did not want to confront a volatile neighbor about trimming the tree that reached over his property line. He shouldn’t have to pay any legal costs. “Unhappy” should check with his local municipality to ensure he’s entitled to cut any branches over his property line, and then advise the neighbor in writing of his intention to trim the branches and when he will do the work. If the neighbor so much as pokes him with a finger, physical assault charges should be filed immediately. -- Pennsylvania Constable Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.
