The Kimberley-Cran-brook branch of MADD Canada is hosting its first school event this week after forming mere months ago.

Katryna Sigurdson is the new community leader for the branch, commonly known as Kimbrook, and is happy to be welcoming MADD’s School Assem-bly Program to area schools on October 18. The presentations are developed new each year and toured around Can-ada. Sigurdson said they have always stopped in the area, but this year will be the first time a local chapter has been in-volved in bringing them here.

The presentation this year will be “Long Week-end,” a fictional story of four youths who make risky decisions as they enjoy a weekend at a cot-tage. Following the tale that twists into a horrific story of impaired driving, real-life stories are told about four people who have been killed in im-paired driving crashes.

Sigurdson said the new local chapter will be an active one, with a number of events com-ing up in the next few months. Funds raised here will stay in the local community and events will be targeted to the is-sues in the Kimberley-Cranbrook area.

“It’s always important to have a local chapter,” Sigurdson said. “This way it’s geared to your local area.”

The chapter has al-ready been active in the community, hosting a Bagging for Charity event at Overwaitea Foods in Kimberley on October 6

and a Celebrity Server night at Boston Pizza.

Details will emerge as new events get closer, but Sigurdson said there will be a Breakfast with Santa Claus fundraiser in De-cember and a ski and snowboard event in Jan-uary.

Volunteers are need-ed to give the new chap-ter a kick start in the community.

“If people have a cer-tain area of expertise they are certainly wel-come to come out and help,” Sigurdson said.

To get involved with the local chapter visit MADD Kimbrook on Facebook or email them at MADDkimbrook@gmail.com.

The Long Weekend presentation will start off at Selkirk Secondary School in Kimberley on October 18 at 8:45 a.m. Students at Mount Baker Secondary School will have two opportunities to catch the performance at 12:40 p.m. and 2 p.m.

“Educating this age group is essential at changing long term be-haviours,” Sigurdson. said “We also encourage parents to come out and view the presentation.”

MADD Canada says that almost 50 per cent of all road crash deaths in-volving 15 to 24 year olds are alcohol-related. In 2009, approximately 350 young people were killed and 41,000 were injured in impairment-related crashes. Also in 2009, 16 to 25 year olds constitut-ed just 13.7 per cent of the population, but ac-counted for nearly 31.1 per cent of all alcohol-related crash deaths.

A public information meeting will be held in Cranbrook next week with an update on the Ktunaxa Kinbasket treaty negotiations.

Held on Thursday, October 25, at The Her-itage Inn, starting at 6:30 p.m., the meeting will inform local resi-dents about the status of treaty negotiations.

“The federal govern-ment, the province and the Ktunaxa have con-ducted six public meet-ings around the East and West Kootenays to date. Cranbrook is the seventh and final treaty meeting. The meetings bring the public up to date on the treaty pro-cess, which has been underway for more than a decade now,” said Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski.

The mayor is the municipal government representative to the committee as part of the B.C. government team, and he will be fa-cilitating next week’s meeting.

The public will also be shown which parcels

of Crown land are being offered to the Ktunaxa in the treaty.

“It’s a really good op-portunity for people to come out and see the actual parcels of land that have been offered to the Ktunaxa as part of the treaty process,” said Stetski. “The land portion has always been of interest to peo-ple.

“There are some positive stories around the public’s continued opportunity to use and access that land.”

Negotiations be-tween the Ktunaxa Kin-basket Treaty Council, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, and the B.C. Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Recon-ciliation, are ongoing and the committee is in the advanced stages of negotiating an Agree-ment in Principle.

“It’s a very good op-portunity for people to come out and come away with a feeling of confidence about the future,” said Stetski. “It’s well worth coming out both as a neighbour and as a future partner.”

What a book sale the Friends of the Library and the Sunrise Rotary had last month! The public support for the event was ter-rific, whether donating books or buying them. The library wishes to thank all the sponsors: Selkirk Signs, SE Disposal, the City of Cranbrook, Tembec and all news media. The proceeds from this sale were split equally between the Friends and the Sunrise Rotary Club. The Sunrise will use their portion for student scholarships and to paint the Railway Museum locomotive opposite the Arches. The Friends will purchase new reading materials for the library.

Last week Kimberley RCMP dealt with three reports of stolen vehi-cles. It turns out not all were stolen.

On Wednesday night officers were called to a crash on St. Mary’s lake Road. Upon arrival they found a totally destroyed SUV in the ditch that had been stolen about a week ago. The next morning RCMP received a report of a vehicle that had been stolen in the

same area as the crash. Coincidence?

The third report was lodged Saturday morn-ing. The officer became a little suspicious and did some follow up. He found the owner had been out the night be-fore but lost track of where. The officer did a few patrols and found the vehicle at one of the local bars. We don’t be-lieve it was stolen, more like forgotten. The good part is the owner did not drive it home.

Four local adventur-ers are off to the world’s toughest endurance race in November.

Mike Honeyman, Miles Chisholm, Matt Johnson and Joe Detta qualified for the World’s Toughest Mudder race after finishing with a good enough time at a race near San Francisco, California, at the end of September.

The four finished the race with a time of 2:34:12, which included an 11-1/2-mile course featuring roughly 25 ob-stacles such as crawling through mud pits, climbing over walls and running through fire.

That time was good enough to catapult the foursome into the world championships, which will be held in New Jer-sey in November, featur-ing the top endurance racers on the planet.

“Four dudes from Cranbrook stumbling into this thing in New Jersey with some of these athletes is going to be a little intimidating,” said Chisholm.

The course at the

World’s Toughest Mud-der is bigger and bad-der, as racers will be running a 8-1/2-mile course with 40-plus ob-stacles for 24 hours.

Getting to the race near San Francisco took a year of training for the four, which was a jour-ney in itself for Honey-man, who lost 40 pounds to whip himself into shape.

Honeyman and Detta know each other from work at Arrow In-stallations Ltd, while Johnson and Chisholm work together at Freight-liner Ltd.

The four got to know each other while going to the gym at Core Fit-ness, with the goal of training to get into bet-ter shape.

Chisholm and John-son do trail running early every morning be-fore work and they in-vited Detta and Honey-man out one day.

“I think before they kind of realized that it was 5:30 in the morning, they kind of committed to going for a run with us and that’s kind of how it started,” laughed Chisholm.

From there, the four decided to do an endur-ance race for a physical challenge and to get in some guy time.

“We started talking about doing something as guys to try and get a little guy time,” added Chisholm. “Three of the four of us are busy with kids and life and work so we wanted a bit of an adventure and this seemed like probably the best thing to do.”

They chose a Tough Mudder race near San Francisco because they could make a guy’s trip out of it and it was also the closest kind of ter-rain to where they train around the Cranbrook region.

“We figured we had a better chance of doing well because we’d been training on hills for quite some time now,”

said Chisholm.Honeyman is the

oldest of the group and did a lot of his training with the Rocky Moun-tain Academy of Martial Arts, right down the road from where he works, to prepare for the race.

Even though Honey-man is in the best shape of his life, he said he wouldn’t have been able to do it without his teammates.

“There were times when I was hurting bad, but they encouraged me,” said Honeyman. “They helped me, they actually physically helped me because I was very, very sore, so for me it was an awe-some experience all around.”

However, being at the race in person was a lot different from seeing

pictures and video on the Internet.

“You get down there

and it’s just a whole dif-ferent experience,” con-tinued Honeyman. “There are thousands of people everywhere, and there’s people being medically evacuated.

“Where we were, it was super hot, the hills were crazy, way bigger than I expected.”

The four completed the race with a time of 2:34:12, but they feel they could’ve finished a

lot sooner if they hadn’t had to deal with wait times at some of the ob-stacles.

Their time qualified them for the World’s Toughest Mudder, which will be an endur-ance race that pushes athletes to the physical and mental breaking point, said Honeyman.

“Now you gotta train the mental game, it’s so much more and trying to do that for 24 hours, being dirty and cold and wet,” Honeyman said. “It’s like every-thing is going against you and I think the big-gest factor to overcome is not so much the phys-ical, because you’re going to get tired, no question, but the men-tal side of it.”

Chisholm added that he was in New York three years ago on the

same weekend as the world championship race when Hurricane Ida ripped up the east coast.

The race continued, business as usual.

“They don’t cancel the race for anything,” Chisholm said. “The worse the weather is, the better.”

According to Ch-isholm, 1,100 racers started last year, but only 900 completed the first lap. Of those 900 racers, an additional 300 were later removed, and all but two of those 300 athletes were taken off the course because of hypothermia con-cerns.

“The finals that we go to, they’re expecting far less than 10 per cent to actually complete the course,” said Ch-isholm.

braved fire, electric shock, mud, and other great pleasures of the extreme sporting life. Now they’re off to the

CASTLEGAR – Effec-tive at noon Monday Oct. 15, 2012, campfires and all open fires were to be permitted across the Southeast Fire Cen-tre’s jurisdiction, due to a decreased risk of wildfires.

Anyone lighting a Category 3 fire must first obtain a burn regis-tration number by call-ing 1-888-797-1717 and must comply with air quality control legisla-tion. A Category 3 fire is a fire that burns: mate-rial piled more than two metres in height or

three metres in width; or stubble or grass over more than 2,000 square metres; or more than two piles of any size.

A person who lights a fire must have suffi-cient personnel, water and tools on hand to stop the fire from es-caping.

The rescinding of this prohibition applies to all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced

by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any re-strictions before light-ing a fire.

The Southeast Fire Centre extends from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Moun-tains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. This includes the Selkirk and Rocky Mountain districts.

C A R O LYN G R A N TDaily Bulletin

The Kimberley Proj-ect Society has been around for a very long

time — organizing in February of 1957. Many people in Kimberley may be unaware that it even existed, but City

Councillor Albert Ho-glund — who’s been around a while himself — says that if you think about a recreation fa-

cility in Kimberley, from arenas to ski lifts to the Aquatic Centre, some financial help from the Kimberley

Project Society will be in its history.

Last week, Hoglund, one of the three re-maining board mem-bers, handed over a cheque for $2,944 to Terry Oscarson of the Kimberley Community Foundation. That was the last of the Project Society’s funds and the Society has now offi-cially folded.

It was a combina-tion of things that led to its dissolution, but Ho-glund says the writing was on the wall when the Sullivan Mine closed in 2001.

“When Cominco closed, the Society lost

about 95 per cent of its payroll deduction do-nations,” Hoglund said. “We had other organi-zations donating through employee pay-roll deductions too, but Cominco was the big one. There hasn’t been much revenue coming in so in 2009 the direc-tors decided to wind it down.”

The Kimberley Dis-trict Recreational Proj-ects Society was formed in 1957 when 75 people met to dis-cuss to projects vital to the community — the arena and a ski lift.

At the time in 1957, the arena was officially

condemned for public gathering.

At the same time the need for a ski lift on North Star Mountain was recognized.

In its first year of op-eration the Project So-ciety raised $50,000 for the new Civic Centre and $45,000 on a T-Bar lift at the ski hill.

The first hockey game in the new Civic Centre, which would not have been con-structed without the Project Society, was played on December 24, 1960 between the Midget Reps and the Blarchmont Reps.

C A N A d i A N P R e s s SURREY, B.C. — A

female Canadian bor-der guard was shot at one of the busiest cross-ings in Canada on Tues-day and the gunman died after apparently turning his weapon on himself, RCMP say.

The Douglas border crossing, known better as the Peace Arch cross-ing, was closed in both directions Tuesday af-ternoon.

“The first report at the scene revealed that a male, a lone male, had shot an officer in her booth,’’ said Cpl. Bert Paquet.

“At the instant fol-lowing the shooting of the officer, the lone male had been pro-nounced dead at the scene from what ap-peared to be a self-in-flicted gunshot wound.’’

Paquet said the offi-cer’s condition isn’t known, but she was breathing when she was loaded into an air ambulance. He said it appeared she’d been shot in the neck and her injuries were serious.

“We haven’t con-firmed the identity of the suspect yet. He was entering Canada in a vehicle that beared a Washington plate.’’

A spokeswoman with the Canada Border

Services Agency said traffic was being divert-ed around the crossing.

Glen Pederson, a local resident, said he heard two gunshots in the afternoon but didn’t think much of the noise.

“I thought it was these guys next door, it’s a construction site. There’s a house being built here, there’s been all kinds of banging going on for days and weeks.’’

Pederson said when he heard a helicopter buzzing over his house, he went outside to his front patio and then walked over to the park at the border to see what was going on.

He said he could see a white van stopped near the first booth, closest to the customs building, and sur-rounded by yellow po-lice tape. The van had Washington state li-cence plates, he said.

Pederson said doz-ens of cars were still waiting at the crossing in the late afternoon.

“There was cops there so fast it wasn’t even funny,’’ he said.

Kevin McAllister, as-sistant general manager at the Peace Portal Golf Course, which is adja-cent to the crossing, said an employee and several guests reported

to him that they heard shots fired at around 2 p.m.

“Two shots were fired,’’ he said. “We’ve heard fire, police, am-bulance heading south-bound on (Highway) 99, which is probably about a couple hun-dred yards from the 18th green. So that’s what they heard when all hell broke loose.’’

Lisa Moeller, public affairs for the police de-partment in Blaine, Wash., said members were helping the Wash-ington State Patrol in closing Interstate 5 at exit 275 and diverting traffic to the nearby truck crossing.

A provincial travel-lers’ report says High-way 99 is closed in both directions two kilome-tres north of the Wash-ington border.

The Peace Arch bor-der point is the third busiest crossing be-tween Canada and the United States.

An average of 3,500 cars pass through the crossing on a slow day, and during peak peri-ods about 4,800 vehi-cles will move through the border.

During those peak periods, border delays can reach four hours on either side of the bor-der.

Many institutions and activities that we used to take for granted have been rendered extinct, or are well

on their way to obsolescence. Many times this is due to the pressures of modern changing times, or the advent of new tech-nologies. Sometimes, society as a whole decides that, you know, it just isn’t a good idea to do this any more.

Consider this example: Between the existence of the so-called “Highway of Tears,” or an incident like the alleged carjacking near Yakh, and other suchlike horrors, the age-old pastime of hitchhik-ing will soon be dead as a doornail.

I don’t want to get into the details of those above incidences; suffice it to say that if you’re a young woman trying to save a few bucks to get somewhere by hitching, then you’re absolutely crazy. If you’re a young man, don’t hold your breath waiting for a ride. The cultural per-ception has changed.

Hitchhiking used to be so innocent. Even 25 years ago, it was as commonplace as can be. There was a joyous, small-town feel to it. You could hitchhike across Can-ada, meeting people and even making lifelong friends.

Now, it is certainly arguable that hitch-hiking is no more dangerous than it’s ever

been. Back in the 1950s, you could pick up someone who turned out to be a danger-ous renegade. Or you could hop into someone’s car, and find yourself in great trouble. Then as now, the percentage of psychopaths on the road to honest, help-ful folks is probably very, very small.

But then again, kids don’t walk to school, or elsewhere away from their homes, like they used to. The perceptions have changed, and it’s not all the media’s fault.

For the record, I too have hitchhiked. I hated

every second, waiting out there by the side of the road while cars whizzed by. And I didn’t even blame them for not stopping, although it was frustrating. But I just didn’t have that $20 for the bus.

I’ve also picked up hitchhikers a time or two. Not an unpleasant experience, I suppose, but I don’t do it anymore. I just don’t feel like making the conversation. If someone appeared to be in trouble, of course I would stop to see if I could help. But instances like that recent alleged car-jacking near here have probably queered that kind of deal for any would-be good samaritans.

This summer past, I drove to Nelson, and was heading towards Salmo just as Shambhala — Canada’s biggest outdoor

electronic music festival — was breaking up. All along the highway, groups of youth were hunkered, thumbs stuck out, hitch-hiking in packs. They looked tired, angry and burnt, with loads of gear, and there were dozens of them, all trying to get a free ride to Nelson. I did the simplest thing — I kept driving, as did the rest of the highway traffic that I could see. The clusters of hitchhikers lined the road for several miles, and the further along this gauntlet you ran, the angrier they looked.

I will confess I felt guilty enough that after several miles of this I decided I would pick up the next solitary hitchhiker I saw. But by that time, I had passed by the whole lot of them, and did not see another.

Sorry about that, all of you hitchhikers, but it seemed that stopping and letting several of you into my little car would have unnecessarily complicated my life, for however brief a time as that may have been. So I kept driving. Perhaps you should lobby the festival organizers for some manner of shuttle service for future years.

Technology and media dominate our lives and our thinking to such a degree that the neighborliness is slowly fading from our lives. Forget about the free lunch — there’s no such thing as a free ride.

SANDRA ALBERS

You’ve played the board game. Maybe you’ve seen the movie, circa 1985. But you’re in for a real treat if you attend

the Off Centre Players stage adaptation of Clue at Centre 64 in Kimberley.

Director Joseph Pereira (who previously directed Don’t Dress for Dinner) has as-sembled a delightful cast of more than a dozen actors from Kimberley, with a few from Cranbrook thrown into the stew for good measure.

Clue plays Wednesday, Oct. 17 through Saturday, Oct. 20, with curtain time at 7:30 p.m. nightly. There is an additional matinee performance Sunday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m.

With a clever two-room set that extends right into the seating area, the audience will feel like they’re right in the thick of this murder mystery. Or should we say multiple murder mystery, since there are more than a few bodies sprawled about before the curtain falls.

The play opens with a foreboding soundtrack, but quickly devolves into funny. Very funny. Laugh-out-loud funny. There are lots of great one-liners and plenty of physical comedy too.

If you think you might have trouble keeping the large cast of characters straight, here are a few, er, clues.

Sioban Staplin as Miss Scarlett is dressed in, naturally, scarlet, which is appropriate, since she seems to run a house of ill repute. Jane Foreman as Mrs. Peacock wears a scarf and hat that resemble the feathers of a, you guessed it, peacock. On the other hand, Katherine Shuflita as Mrs. White is clad all in black, a reference to her role as the black widow.

Thom McCaughey as Col. Mustard, Wayne Keiver as Professor Plum and Adam Tomlinson as Mr. Green all sport ties that match their monikers.

Patrick Baranowski as Wadsworth the butler (mmm, did the butler do it?) and Elli Gillen as the fetching French maid Yvette have costumes that suit their professions.

And Ray Gareau as Mr. Boddy sticks to a classic dress-for-dinner suit.

Rounding out the cast (some taking on several small roles as well as doubling up as

members of the backstage crew) are Na-than Hilton, Mike Park, Jennifer Morgan, Tylene Turner, Viola Hine, Sydney Andrews and Blair Shuflita. Their roles range from cop to cook, singing telegram girl to hippie evangelist, plus a stranded motorist.

There are some truly strong perfor-mances from the seasoned actors in the cast, and great work, too, from the younger emerging talent.

The plot of Clue essentially revolves around a blackmail scheme. A number of guests have been invited to a drinks and dinner party by a mysterious host. They are asked to use pseudonyms.

But who is the blackmailer? What are the secrets that the various characters are trying to conceal? And, as the bodies pile up, audience members will be asking: Was it Col. Mustard? In the billiard room? With

a candlestick? Or could it be Mrs. Peacock? In the kitchen? With a lead pipe?

Mind you, unlike the board game, there is more than one murder to solve here. There are also assorted inter-connections between the characters, which I won’t spoil by revealing here.

Adding to the fun are secret passage-ways, much to-ing and fro-ing between the two rooms on stage (not to mention the half-a-dozen doors), and many things that go bump in the night.

The action is set in the Washington, D.C., area against a backdrop of 1950s Mc-Carthyism, which just might be a clue in itself.

Personally, I’ve always been a sucker for a good murder mystery. When it’s leavened with comedy, like this production of Clue, it’s even better.

DiRk MEiSSNERCanadian Press

NANAIMO, B.C. – British Columbia Premier Christy Clark took aim at Alberta Tues-day in an election-style speech where she boasted her prov-ince doesn’t need oil to be the country’s top economic gener-ator.

Speaking to a Vancouver Is-land economic summit, Clark said she’s set lofty goals for B.C.’s economy, which include turning the province into Can-ada’s No. 1 economy.

She drew mild applause from the business crowd when she said B.C.’s job creation numbers are currently tops in Canada, ahead of Alberta, and B.C. has done it without oil revenues.

“Fifty-seven thousand net new jobs in British Columbia, most of them are full-time,’’ said Clark about the Statistics

Canada yearly numbers. “We’re ahead of Alberta and we don’t even have oil. We’re doing well.’’

Clark said her government’s year-old jobs plan, which fo-cuses on increasing trade with China and Asia and promoting mining and exploring innova-tions in technology and agri-foods, has resulted in growth.

Clark said trade with China has increased by 25 per cent and moves to clear up massive permit and approval backlogs in the mining sector has re-sulted in a 20 per cent improve-ment.

Part of Clark’s jobs plan in-cludes opening eight new B.C. mines and upgrading nine oth-ers currently in operation by 2015.

After her speech, Clark told reporters she wants British Co-lumbians and Canadians to know that B.C. is ahead of Al-

berta when it comes to job growth.

She said she expects her province’s employment efforts to be a deciding factor when British Columbian’s vote in the upcoming May election.

Clark’s Liberals are current-ly trailing well behind the Op-position New Democrats in public opinion polls.

“We’re used to, in Canada, having Alberta doing better than anyone else because they have oil, which is great for the country and for Alberta, but I think it’s significant for British Columbians to recognize that we are No. 1,’’ said Clark.

“We are No. 1 in this coun-try, and it should be a real source of pride that even with-out that great natural resource, and valuable natural resource they call oil, we’re still doing better than everybody else,’’ she said. “That’s quite a chal-

lenge we’ve overcome.’’Clark said she’s enjoying

taking pokes at Alberta when it comes to measuring economic progress.

“It’s a good competition to have,’’ she said.

Clark, whose Liberal gov-ernment has often been criti-cized for paying lacklustre at-tention to Vancouver Island, said her government has sup-ported the Island’s economic and growth ventures, including airport and post-secondary education investments in Na-naimo and health-care in the Courtenay and Campbell River areas.

Opposition New Democrat Leonard Krog, who holds one of the two seats in Nanaimo, said Clark didn’t make one new announcement during the speech, something the busi-ness leaders there will remem-ber.

BDC-Say you have a successful small business. You have a few employees, and things are going fi ne. If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you may never take time to sit down and think about your future growth—how to take your company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way.

But growth is an issue many business owners ignore at their peril. In fact, it might just be one of the most important issues facing them as

entrepreneurs. “If you decide not to grow, you may be paving a path to failure,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “If you don’t grow, your competitors will, and that will put pressure on you.”

The good news, Latour says, is that business owners can create a road map to guide them and reduce their risk as they grow their

enterprise. The road map can help them fi nd more growth opportunities and avoid common mistakes, like failing to delegate responsibility to employees (see below).

Need a Plan

To develop your road map, start by committing time to outlining a plan for your growth, Latour says. It should include a few important basics:

A clear picture of your business’s current strengths, weaknesses and opportunities

A vision for where you want your company to be in the next three to fi ve years

An action plan to achieve your vision (Who will do what and by when)

Your growth plan could be anything from a rough, informal sketch to a full-blown, highly detailed strategic plan, including everything from a mission statement to scenario planning and fi nancial forecasts.

What’s vital is getting the key players in your company on the same page, thinking about your future.

With Small Business Week upon us, the Kootenay Rockies Innovation Council (KRIC) and the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) are pleased to announce the completion of the data collection phase of a region-wide Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) initiative, focused on manufacturing and technology-related business in the Kootenays.

Business Retention and Expansion, or BRE, is an action-oriented and community-based approach to business and economic development. This sector-specific BRE is a key component of the two-year Columbia Basin Trust MATS (Manufacturing and Technology Sector) initiative, delivered by KAST and KRIC. MATS supports economic diversification and development in the Columbia Basin, with a focus on the manufacturing and technology sectors.

Over six months, representatives of the program interviewed more than 180 manufacturing and technology-related businesses across the Kootenays. The data will be made available to municipalities, economic development organizations and educational institutions as a summary report

towards the end of year.

Said Andrew Zwicker, who coordinated the BRE for KAST, “We spoke to businesses in the entire value chain of the manufacturing and tech sectors. This data will help us develop an understanding of these sectors, for businesses and for the knowledge workers in our region. It will also help us to specifically target programming and resources where they can be most effective.”

While the official numbers have yet to come in, some obvious trends have already emerged. Among them are the rise of subcontracting, the recognition that there’s room for growth and more competition, and that there’s a need for skilled technology workers in a variety of areas: including networking, web development, engineering and technologists.

Competition with Alberta and BC’s Lower Mainland can make it difficult for local businesses to attract top talent based purely on salary, but Kootenay entrepreneurs understand that the lifestyle benefits offer a compelling perk and as a result they work with key staff to develop flexible schedules that modern workers are beginning to demand.

“The interviews

helped to identify skill sets that are in demand in the region,” said Zwicker, “ and those are areas where more training could be offered, as well as places where employment opportunities exist for our region’s recent graduates.”

The good news is that the outlook is undoubtedly positive, however some key challenges faced by manufacturing and technology companies, including access to industrial and commercial lands, transportation, expanding markets and exporting, were identified.

The report will be available later this year, and KAST and KRIC would like to thank all of those business owners that took time out of their busy schedules to share their thoughts and perspectives.

Larry Sparks, Executive Director of KRIC, summarized the project, saying “this BRE, and the broader MATS initiative, will further KAST and KRIC’s efforts to diversity and strengthen the economy, and the manufacturing and technology sectors in the Columbia Basin, by accelerating business growth and entrepreneurship.”

you should absolutely have a plan,” says Paul Cubbon, who teaches e n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p and innovation at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

Latour agrees. “The plan doesn’t have to be pages and pages long. Sometimes the simpler, the better. But if you don’t have a planned, disciplined approach to growth, you’re probably going to make more mistakes.”

Regaining Control

Christopher Moreno is a firm believer in creating a growth plan—and following it with discipline. His event planning and production business, 365 Productions, was growing so quickly in 2011 that he and partner Ben Patience worried it was spinning out of control.

“We were concerned about having too many things on the conveyor belt,” Moreno says. “We said: ‘Eventually the conveyor belt is going to be full, and something is going to fall off the end.”

The duo decided to embark on a strategic planning exercise. The process helped clarify their opportunities, risks and respective roles in the company. The result: a detailed five-year plan that included financial forecasts for three different growth scenarios.

The plan helped them boost sales to an expected $3.2 million this year from $1.8 million in 2010. They have even exceeded their goals, meeting their year-three targets in 18 months. And the plan has helped guide a successful

international expansion into Britain and Australia.

Along the way, they made sure to meet regularly with employees to see if the plan needs any tweaking and check how their plan is being implemented by measuring progress against their benchmarks. “The plan is 10% of the work; the other 90% is actually doing it,” Moreno says. “If you don’t get in the car and drive, the road map is useless.”

3 do’s and don’ts for growing a small business

You’ve decided you want to expand your small business—but aren’t sure how. Here are some growth do’s and don’ts.

Leverage existing clients—Looking for growth opportunities? Don’t forget your existing clients. They could be your best path to expansion success. It’s usually much easier to find new business

from current clients than to start afresh with untested ones. “Listen to existing clients, and see what they need,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “Ask them how you can help

them be even better. Can you help them in ways they don’t know about?” Latour also advises growth-oriented entrepreneurs to seek out opportunities to join the supply chains of multinational corporations.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kimberley Dy-namiters survived a third period scare to hold their lead against the Columbia Valley Rockies, defeating their divisional rivals 5-4 on Tuesday night at the Civic Centre.

The Nitros had scored five goals after two periods, but the Rockies responded with three markers in the final frame to come within one goal of tying up the affair.

New pickup Bryce Halverson stood in net

for the Dynamiters, turning away 32 pucks, while Stewart Pratt saved 26 shots for the Rockies.

Sam Nigg opened the scoring for the Ni-tros near the 12-minute mark of the first period, getting a tip on a shot from the point.

Taylor McDowell had a half-breakaway, but Pratt made the stop, while Halverson robbed Rockies forward Racey Red Crow, who found himself in the slot all alone with the puck.

Eric Buckley dou-bled the lead for the

Dynamiters in the sec-ond period, sniping the top corner during a power play, but Colum-bia Valley soon re-sponded when Kellen Marchand put his team on the scoreboard.

A flurry of Dynamit-er goals then gave the team a seemingly in-surmountable lead.

Connor Kutzner re-stored the two-goal lead, picking up the garbage in front of the net, and Connor Tet-lock further increased the lead when he got his own rebound off a shot at the back door-

step.Adam Hodge wrist-

ed the puck into the net from the top of the face-off circle on another power play to give the Nitros a 5-1 lead going into the final period.

That’s when the wheels fell off a bit.

Marchand notched his second of the game when he got his stick on a shot that beat Halver-son, while Jake Fardoe shovelled the puck into the net off a scramble halfway through the frame.

James Price scored late in the game by

somehow getting a shot through Halverson while driving to the net from a sharp angle.

However, the Nitros were able to hold off the Rockies with an extra attacker out on the ice to preserve the win.

“I thought we had a really good second, not a bad first, but we seemed to shut down a little bit in the third, there and against an-other team, that could be the difference in a game between winning and losing,” said Nitro assistant coach Jordan Foreman.

Kootenay Ice Report

Ice forward returns after three-game

suspensionTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice for-ward Jon Martin is a changed man.

Or maybe not, be-cause he still doesn’t know what got him sus-pended.

The feisty 17-year-old winger was part of a line brawl that erupted two weeks ago during a tilt against the Leth-bridge Hurricanes.

The fracas started when teammate Brock Montgomery took a high stick to the face behind the opposing team’s net. The overage forward hunched over and slowly skated back to the Ice bench, but took exception to some chatter from the Leth-bridge side and reached across the boards to grab the offender.

That set off a line brawl on the ice as play-ers, in the heat of battle, paired up and started swinging.

A total of six fighting majors and three rough-ing minors were handed out after all the dust set-tled.

The WHL officially handed down Martin’s three-game suspension on Oct. 1st for “actions of

player versus Lethbridge on September 29th” being the official expla-nation on the WHL’s dis-cipline webpage.

“[WHL] didn’t say a word to me, I still don’t know why I got sus-pended, they still haven’t said anything,” said Martin. “Coach just came in and said I was suspended for three games and that was the end of it, so nothing I could do.”

The Hurricanes didn’t escape un-scathed; forward Brady Ramsey was suspended for five games, and will return to the ice for Wednesday’s tilt against the Wheat Kings in Leth-bridge.

Martin’s last game in the press box was during Kootenay’s 4-3 win against the Blades, but he returned to the line-up to lend a hand in the 1-0 shutout of the Ed-monton Oil Kings on Sunday.

That victory was pret-ty sweet, he said.

“It feels great, we hadn’t beat them at all last year,” said Martin. “It was real sweet, for sure, and good to be a part of it, too.

“A good first game to be back.”

The Ice have a triple-header this weekend, starting with a quick jaunt to Red Deer on Fri-day, followed by con-tests with Kamloops on Saturday and the Rebels again on Sunday at Western Financial Place.

aARIES (March 21-April 19) Reach out to others. Those who are wise seek feedback in order to test out an idea. During this process, an even better idea might pop up. Do not allow your ego to get involved if someone has sounder concepts than you; instead, welcome them. Brainstorm away! Tonight: Your in-stincts could mislead you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Relate to others directly, and know what it is that you desire. Friends and/or loved ones might think they know what they want, but in real-ity, their ideas come across garbled. If they allow it, you will need to help these individuals organize their thoughts in a way that makes more sense. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and make it a point to let them know that you trust them to make good choices. Then step back and observe. You might be clearing up a disagreement or power play now that they can see what it is like to run the show. To-

night: Say “yes” to someone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) All work and no play is not a healthy lifestyle. More than other signs, you have a tendency to swing from one emotional extreme to the other. You need to maintain a healthy amount of physical activity, as that is the key to keeping your stress level down. You might feel uneasy about an upcoming trip or a call coming in. Tonight: Work on getting physical. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You often exude confidence, yet right now, you are working on a faulty premise for which you do not have all the facts. It is likely that you could be hearing only what you want to hear without realizing it. Center yourself, and go back over an important decision in your mind. Tonight: Happy at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to news from someone who has easy access to you. You’ll want to rethink a decision involving a partner. You might not be seeing the whole picture or the people involved clearly. You can only come from your own perspective. Let a friend play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Hang out with your pals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) News heads your way that involves your finances or an offer pertaining to money. Though the other person might have good intentions, there could be a last-minute hassle or problem that arises. Do not spend funds before you get them. Tonight: Do your thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You enjoy the dreamlike mood you are in, yet you might not be as realistic as you would like to be. Consider the possibility that a risk could backfire and leave you feel-ing unhappy. Use your dreams as a starting point to build from, but use logic to guide you. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use your energy in the most ef-fective way you can. The Moon highlights you, which makes nearly anything possible. You would be well advised to try to deal with ev-erything except a domestic or prop-erty-related matter. You could have a last-minute problem. Tonight: Do absolutely what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Allow yourself to loosen up more. If you have an idea or a wish that

has been floating around in your mind, bring it forth now. Come up with a plan for how you can make it a reality. Talk to a trusted friend who might be unusually resource-ful. Tonight: You might want some downtime. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Emphasize what you want. A meet-ing could be particularly important in completing a project. You might have more supportive friends than you realize. Look around and ask for some feedback. Use caution with your money, and refuse to make any agreements today. Tonight: Where the crowds are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be discreet, especially if you are confused right now. How you handle a difficult situation could change given some time. Neverthe-less, you have to take the lead on a project, like it or not. Do not make any over-the-top comments involv-ing commitment. Tonight: Into the wee hours. BORN TODAY Rapper Eminem (1972), daredevil Evel Knievel (1938), musician Ziggy Marley (1968) ***

Dear Annie: My husband’s only sibling is his 65-year-old brother, “Larry.” Larry’s mother spoiled him rotten. To say he’s lazy is an understatement. He does nothing to help himself. He was fortunate enough to win a local election when he ran unopposed, and he held that office for 30 years. I doubt if he put in 20 hours a month. Two years ago, Larry retired, drawing a pension and Social Security. He says he can hardly make it. He inherited his mother’s home and land and has done nothing to tend it. He has a few cows, but he doesn’t care for them. They got out onto his neigh-bor’s land, and they issued a complaint. Now they don’t speak. His mother’s house is falling down around him. He was forced to put on a new roof because the leaking caused the ceilings to fall in. There is no heat or air conditioning in the house. He has not had a working indoor toilet for 20 years. You cannot open the windows because of all the junk in the house. Years ago, my husband said he’d repair the heater if Larry would clean up the mess around it, but he hasn’t touched a thing. He uses an electric blanket for warmth. He has no water because when the pipes froze two years ago, he cut off the water to the house and hooked up a hose to an out-side faucet. He hasn’t cut his hair since he retired, and he seldom shaves. It makes us sick to look at him. We have offered to help Larry, but we ex-pect him to put in some effort. He often tells us he should have taken our advice, but whenever we talk to him, he stares and ignores us. I think he’s waiting for someone to take care of him while he sits and smokes his cigarettes. We’re afraid to take on the job of caring for him because then he’d expect us to do it forever. How do we handle this? -- The Sister-in-Law Dear Sister-in-Law: Larry sounds like a hoarder. Along with the lack of personal grooming, it seems more like depression or mental illness than sheer laziness. This may not make it easier to deal with, but it could change your response. Please contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoun-dation.org/hoarding) for information and help. Dear Annie: What is proper etiquette for gift giving and receiving? Is it rude to say, “Don’t buy me presents. I don’t want any-body else picking out my things. Just give me money, and I will do my own shopping”? That takes all the pleasure out of giving for me, plus it sounds more like extortion. If it is proper etiquette, how much should one give? Society has changed so much in the past 50 years that I no longer know if this is someone raised without manners or if it’s OK to ask for money. -- Need To Know Dear Need: It is still poor manners to tell someone that you expect a present and that they should give you money so you can buy it yourself. You are under no obligation to follow these instructions. If you choose to give money (or any gift), how much you spend is entirely up to you. Dear Annie: “Florida Greetings” com-plained about the “high cost” of a postage stamp to justify emailing instead of writing. How petty. With the price of gas around $4, a loaf of bread more than $2 and a gallon of milk at least $3, a mere 45 cents may be the best bargain in town. Even with a fixed income, I manage to send notes to others who may have a brighter day because they found something other than bills and junk mail in their mailbox. When I can send something to California for less than half a dollar, I am grateful. -- Still Writ-ing in Indiana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

C anadian Press 

VANCOUVER _ Dozens of sled dogs that were slaughtered after the Vancouver Olympics in an animal cruelty case that made international headlines are get-ting a proper burial.

The B.C. Society for the Pre-vention of Cruelty to Animals says the 56 dogs that were killed in Whistler, B.C. in winter 2010 will be laid to rest on Nov. 2.

The service will be held at the SPCA pet cemetery near Pentic-ton, in the southern Interior, which spokeswoman Marcie Moriarty says was chosen be-cause of its beauty and because the case touched people around the province.

The cull set off a massive ani-mal-cruelty investigation into the former general manager of Howling Dog Tours, Robert Faw-

cett, who pleaded guilty to caus-ing unnecessary pain and suffer-ing to the animals in August.

Investigators dug up the dogs’ bodies from a mass grave near the ski resort to gather fo-rensic evidence to support the charge, and the remains were handled carefully for a future burial.

Fawcett will be sentenced in late November.

C anadian Press SYDNEY, Australia

_  Air  Canada  is being credited with helping rescue officials pin-point the location of a yacht in trouble off the coast of Australia.

A solo yachtsman left Pittwater, on Syd-ney’s northern beaches, two weeks ago heading for Eden on the New South Wales south coast.

Australian media re-ported an emergency beacon was activated early Tuesday with the man reporting that his boat had been drifting away from land since last week.

Because of the re-mote location, the Aus-tralian Maritime Safety Authority asked two airliners passing over the man’s GPS position

to help confirm his whereabouts.

An  Air  Canada  Boe-ing 777 flying to Sydney from Vancouver subse-quently diverted from its course to check on the distressed yacht about 435 kilometres east of Sydney.

An Air New Zealand A320, heading to Syd-ney from New Zealand also went off course to locate the yacht.

Air  Canada  said its plane swooped down at about 1,200 metres while the crew peered out using binoculars borrowed from a pas-senger.

Travellers on board the aircraft were also asked to keep watch, the airline said.

They were drawn to the yacht’s location by light shining off a mir-

ror.“They did spot the

boat and then they passed over it just to let the guy know that they had seen him,’’ said spokesman Peter Fitz-patrick.

“Everybody on board was really happy and excited by the out-come,’’ even though it delayed the flight by roughly 90 minutes, he said.

With the boat’s loca-tion confirmed, a police vessel was dispatched to the demasted yacht, which was running low on fuel and drifting fur-ther out to sea.

A maritime safety official said police would make a judg-ment call when they arrived as to whether the man needed to abandon ship.

THREE HILLS, Alta. _ The Alberta government has is-sued a new operating permit to a roadside zoo that was to be shut down over animal care concerns.

The GuZoo animal farm near Three Hills was ordered closed in the spring of 2011 based on a review that out-lined problems with how the zoo was being run.

But the Gustafson family, which owns GuZoo, appealed and a judge allowed the zoo to keep operating under strict conditions while the case went

through the courts.Last week, the province met

with the Gustafsons and de-cided that the zoo can stay in business as long as it meets certain conditions.

The animal welfare group Zoocheck Canada says in a re-lease that it is unbelievable that GuZoo is being allowed to stay open given its track re-cord.

Alberta government spokeswoman Jessica Potter says an inspection of the zoo’s operations in July showed no problems with the health or condition of the

animals.Bill Gustafson said some

conditions that had been placed on the zoo in 2011 have been lifted “such as having to get rid of the animals and hav-ing to ask before we bring something in for feed or what-ever.

“And we can do petting zoos again with our domestic animals without having to get permission to do that.’’

The Gustafsons have oper-ated the zoo for more than 20 years. It has about 400 animals that include tigers, lions, bears and elk.

Rules that GuZoo must still follow include separate enclo-sures for feeding wild animals and completing renovations to a fence around the farm’s pe-rimeter.

GuZoo has been the focus of animal abuse concerns since it first opened in 1990.

The most recent public out-cry came in March 2011 when pictures that included one of a goat with its face covered in blood were posted on a Face-book page.

The Gustafsons have said that many of the concerns were dealt with.
