A tense hours-long police standoff at Cranbrook’s Nomad Motel came to an end soon after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30.

Dozens of police and emergency ser-vices personnel stood guard outside the motel from about 12:30 p.m.

The highway was closed from that time until about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.

According to an RCMP statement, po-

lice responded to a call about a dis-traught male holed up in a motel room.

“Police attended to assist, when the male made comments that caused them concern as it affected public safety.

“Police set up a perimeter, moved persons out of the area and are currently attempting to make contact with the male inside,” said Cpl. Chris Newel in a statement released about 4 p.m.

“It is unknown if he has any weapons but police are taking precautions to en-

sure the safety of those in the area.”The highway was closed to traffic in

both directions from Victoria Avenue to 6th Street North.

At about 2 p.m., a police emergency response team in camouflage uniforms with semi-automatic weapons arrived on the scene.

Negotiators were able to re-establish contact with the suspect just before 9 p.m. and took him into custody without incident. He was not suffering injuries.

The great Judy Col-lins has a message for the people of Cran-brook.

“I sure look forward to seeing you,” she said, while speaking to the Daily Townsman this week. “I can’t wait to be singing there for you. And I hope you’ll all come and have a great time.”

The legendary singer – who released her first album in 1961, discov-ered Canadians Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, and became one

of the most beloved vo-calists of the past 50 years – is in Cranbrook as part of a swing through the theatres of smaller cities in the U.S. and Western Canada.

School District 5 is suffering from “a bad case of deja vu”, accord-ing to board chair Frank Lento.

The board of trustees released a statement on Wednesday, October 30 about the challenges it faces in funding a fair wage increase for Cana-dian Union of Public Employees workers.

“Our board has stat-

ed quite clearly that we support raises for all of our employees, includ-ing CUPE. We still do,” said Lento. “But for the Minister to say that boards should have an-ticipated the additional costs and developed savings plans in accor-dance with the co-oper-ative gains mandate in order to pay for this in-crease is offensive.”

School district decries “deja vu”

CUPE wage increase can’t be found in existing budget, according

to School District 5’s trustees

Senior’s Lifestyle Community

Keeps Winter at BayLife in winter can be daunting for

seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry.

Fortunately retirement housing at Garden View Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and air-conditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind.

Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which

are certain to be filled with friendly faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the on-site chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join.

Garden View Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building.

With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at Garden View Village. “I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for. But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.”

No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life. Garden View Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Garden View Village at (250) 427-4014 for more information or to book a tour.

If it’s foggy, climb that mountain. While the rest of the valley, including most of Kimberley, was blanketed in fog over the weekend, up at the Kimberley Alpine Resort skies were clear. This photo was taken at KAR on Saturday, looking south to Cranbrook.

In September, B.C.’s education minister Peter Fassbender told school boards that under the Cooperative Gains Mandate, they should develop a sav-ings plan to cover the CUPE wage increase.

According to Lento, it’s the same request the education ministry made last year, but then retracted.

Then Education Minister Don McRae sent a letter to all school boards in January stat-ing: “You have indicated to me quite clearly that in light of budget uncer-tainties and the timing of district budget pro-cesses that the savings cannot be generated without either reducing service levels or trans-ferring costs to the pub-lic.”

Lento pointed out that the school districts weren’t involved in CUPE negotiations – the B.C. government bargained on their be-half.

“Government nego-tiated a fair wage in-crease to CUPE but at a cost to school boards that they’re unwilling to fund. Government is certainly aware that our

financial situation hasn’t improved since last January given that Boards are bankrolled by government.”

Funding increases each year for school dis-tricts don’t go far enough to cover in-creased expenses, ac-cording to the board.

“Inflation alone pro-duces cost increases to the District of over one million dollars year over year. In addition to infla-tion the District has to pay for carbon offsets, MSP premium increas-es, BC Hydro rate in-creases… the list goes on,” said Lento.

Minister Fassbender has pointed out that other school districts are able to fund the wage increases. Lento’s response is that they must be dipping into anticipated savings from 2013/2014’s bud-get, as that is what SD5 has been forced to do.

“Every year our Board looks for project-ed cost savings that we can apply to our next budget cycle. It’s like a household budget; re-place your furnace and see savings in your hydro bill. Pay off a car loan and you have more

money for your child’s college tuition.”

Lento said that with-out more significant funding increases, edu-cation is going to suffer.

“Yes, we 100-per-cent support a raise for our employees. Yes, dis-tricts are coming up with the money because we have no choice. But at the end of the day that money affects our bot-tom line: the classroom. It’s simple math. You can’t take nine away from eight without bor-rowing from the tens column.”

But a spokesperson from the ministry said the government is cut-ting its budget, too.

“Government has worked very hard to find fiscal efficiencies within the provincial govern-ment budget.

“And the ministry has asked its partners to join in that, and school districts – as a co-gover-

Budget cuts will affect classrooms: SD5 board

nance partner – have been asked to be a part of finding those solu-tions.”

The ministry is not sending mixed messag-es, it claims.

“Government has been clear and consis-tent with all public sec-tor employers, boards of education included, that wage increases must be funded through savings from within ex-isting budgets.

“Government clearly recognizes that’s not easy. It’s not easy for the province either. But unless it’s done, B.C. will be put at risk fiscal-ly.”

Though perhaps Ca-nadian tour is the wrong phrase. Like Bob Dylan, her famous compatriot from the folk revival movement, Collins is on a never-ending tour of sorts.

“I’m always on tour, so wherever I go there I am,” she told the Towns-man from New York.

“I do about 120 shows a year all over the country and all over the world.”

Collins has been a musical presence since her involvement in the folk music scene of the early 1960s, through the heyday of that famous musical decade, record-ing songs by artists like Ian Tyson, Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, and other, before those art-ists themselves achieved the acclaim they were to reach.

Her musical style be-came more and more diverse from the gui-tar-based folk songs she started out recording, until by the early 1970s she was standing out for her own compositions as well.

In 1975, her version of “Send in the Clowns,”

a ballad written by Ste-phen Sondheim, won song of the year at the Grammy awards. Judy has continued an im-pressive musical career with an extensive cata-logue from every de-cade throughout the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and up to the present.

Collins’ Cranbrook show will be an inti-mate, stripped down presentation — guitar and piano.

“I always travel with a pianist, and I play the guitar, so that’s what we do. I’ve always done that so it’s fine with me — it’s wonderful.”

She also discussed the program the audi-ence can expect.

“We’ll be doing a lot of the new things we’re doing, including a (composer and song-writer Stephen) Sond-heim PBS special — so we’re adding some Sondheim. There’ll be some Irish songs — I just did a big Irish PBS show in County Clare – as well as some of the hits. We’ll certainly be doing ‘Send in The Clowns,’ ‘Both Sides Now.’”

Collins’ 50-plus year career has been a throughline through several important mu-sical eras. She was asked if there were any particular moments that especially stood out for her.

“Surely the first 10 years or so were the highlight,” she an-swered. “The high point is the ‘60s in terms of the writing, the singer-song-writers, the recording.

“The record labels were strong, the clubs were strong, the con-certs were strong — the

Judy Collins promises to sing her hits in Cranbrook

television shows were even strong. There were people like the Smoth-ers Brothers, Glen Campbell — there were

very strong music shows as well.

“The whole network was supported, and the songwriters were there,”

Collins said. “It was a very exciting time.

“And of course I worked with everybody from Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Farina — discovered Joni Mitch-ell, discovered Leonard Cohen.”

Collins spoke of her long affiliation of the most famous and re-nowned of Canadian musicians.

“I was very much in-volved with the Canadi-an writers from the first,” she said. “I got to know (folksinger and song-writer) Ed McCurdy, the great Ian and Sylvia. I recorded their song ‘Someday Soon.’

“I also got to know Gordon Lightfoot — re-corded his song ‘Early Morning Rain’.”

Not to mention, of

course, her decades of affiliation with Cohen and Mitchell.

“I’m very fond of Canadian writers,” Col-lins said. “There’s something about the Canadian writers that very much appeals to me.”

Collins, now 71, is a modern day Renais-sance woman: an ac-complished painter, filmmaker, record label head, musical mentor, and keynote speaker for mental health and sui-cide prevention.

She performs the Key City Theatre in Cran-brook on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 plus GST and are available at the Key City Theatre box of-fice or charge by phone at 250-426-7006.

C AROLYN GR ANTDaily Bulletin

When the Kimberley Urban Deer Committee tabled the document ‘Managing for the Fu-ture’ last year, Kimber-ley City Council accept-ed unanimously and agreed to follow its rec-ommendations.

One of those recom-mendations was that occasional culls would still be required to man-age Kimberley’s deer population. At City Council on Monday evening, Council voted to apply for a permit that would allow a cull of a maximum of 30 mule deer.

It is by no means cer-tain the cull will occur — it remains dependent on upcoming popula-tion counts in Novem-ber.

Committee Chair Gary Glinz wrote to Council explaining the reasoning.

“This request is a proactive measure to ensure we can obtain a permit in a timely man-ner. the permit will only be used if this Novem-ber’s deer counts indi-cated a cull is required as outlined in the matrix

within the document ‘Managing for the Fu-ture’ and further ap-proval from the City is obtained.”

Council had a long discussion on the mat-ter. When Coun. Darryl Oakley put forward the motion, there was a sig-nificant pause before Coun. Jack Ratcliffe sec-onded it to open it to discussion.

Oakley said the deci-sion on whether to go ahead will not just factor in population but also what the City can afford. Oakley said the deer committee had an ex-tensive debate and looked at number of complaints, where they occurred, accidents and more.

“When the counts are done, it will come back to Council to de-cide if a cull will take place,” Oakley said.

Coun. Kent Goodwin proposed that the maxi-mum number culled should be 50, not 30. He said that Kimberley was already over the thresh-old that the Managing document suggests would require a cull of 30.

“It’s quite possible we’ll be over the next

threshold after this count. If we can find the money, we should con-sider taking 50.”

However, it was ar-gued that the City should continue to fol-low the Deer Commit-tee’s recommendations to the letter.

Mayor McRae asked about selective culling of only problem ani-mals.

“In conversations I have had with Gary Glinz around the cull, it was mentioned that we would seek a permit to address problem deer, meaning responding to specific incidents and using the permit to ad-dress that.”

Oakley said that was the preferred way, but that there had been con-siderable resistance from the MInister on that.

“Especially during fawning season, there is no way they will allow us to take out an aggres-sive doe and leave a fawn behind. Maybe in the winter months.”

Oakley also said the City had few options be-cause the province had not made any moves yet to amend the Wilfdlife

Act to allow aversive conditioning, despite a successful experiment in Kimberley last spring, which limits the City’s options.

And there is the mat-ter of costs as well. Since the previous culls two years ago, costs of trap-ping have risen signifi-cantly to $650 per trap.

Goodwin suggested that if prices had risen that much, it should go out to tender again to find different trappers.

Oakley said deer committee members had done some drive-arounds in advance of the count, and felt that 30 deer would accom-plish population man-agement.

“I think aversive con-ditioning would end up being cheaper give the prices we’ve seen for trapping, but we don’t have that option right now,” Oakley said.

Coun. Bev Middle-brook said she felt more comfortable with a se-lective cull.

“When you take out 30 animals in a cull, you are taking aggressive and non-aggressive ani-mals,”Oakley agreed. “It’s not perfect.”

Students at Parkland Middle School got a taste of a new salad bar program this week. On Tuesday students lined up all the way out of the atrium in Parkland to fill their plates with an as-sortment of salads, fruits, a hot plate – which was chili that day – and a bun.

“It’s taken over a year to get to this stage,” Scott Holt, Parkland princi-pal, said.

First they applied for the grant through the B.C. Agriculture in the Classroom’s Farm to Salad Bar program.

At the end of last year they received just over $8,200 and began pur-chasing the necessary equipment, as well as training staff and stu-dents to run the salad bar.

Equipment included an industrial dishwash-er and the salad bar trol-ley.

The meal only costs the students about $5,

which is charged to re-cover costs.

Megan Driver and Alison Farkvan spear-headed the effort. Both work in the Aboriginal Education department of the school.

“I heard about it through other school districts that were doing it,” Driver said. “So we looked into it online and applied for the grant and we were lucky enough to receive it. It was just a chance for us to bring healthier food in, lots of healthier food.”

Driver said they are trying to provide meals to students at as low a cost as possible and “to increase access to fresh, nutritious food choices for our students.”

The Parkland PAC is subsidizing 50 cents of each student’s meal to make it as affordable as possible as well.

Nancy Zier, from the local Salvation Army, was at Parkland during the first salad bar to present a contribution

of $1,000 to the program which would go to pro-vide five free meals each week for students.

Zier said the pro-gram is great for the school and it was easy to jump on board Park-land’s project because

the organizers already had secured the grant, the equipment and the training. The funding comes from the higher levels of the organiza-tion and is to help with nutritional programs in the community.

They have also had contributions from School District 5.

Fort Steele Food Ser-vices will be providing a hot dish every week – this week it was chili and a bun.

“We’re going to try to

incorporate local and aboriginal foods into the menu whenever possi-ble,” Driver said.

Six students were also sponsored for Foodsafe courses. Three of the students are from the Aboriginal Educa-

tion department and three from the rest of the school. All of those stu-dents helped with Tues-day’s salad bar.

Holt described the program as a school ini-tiative to improve healthy eating.

Halloween is almost here and soon little g h o s t s

and goblins will be wan-dering the streets in search of Halloween candy.

If your children gen-erally eat well all year long, then enjoying Hal-loween sweets is not a big deal – the key of course is moderation and making sure there is more to Halloween than just the candy. Try these ideas to help make Hal-loween a little healthier.

Serve a healthy meal. On Halloween night serve a healthy meal before the kids head out to go trick-or-treating. If kids feel full before they go trick-or-

treating, they will be less tempted to eat candy along the way and will eat fewer pieces of candy afterwards when they return home.

Hand out non-sug-ary treats. Stand out from the crowd and give out something other than candy. Fun alter-natives to treats include Halloween styled pens,

pencils, and stickers. If you do give out sweets, avoid the sticky gooey ones – try small plain chocolate bars or sugar-less gums which are less likely to promote cavi-ties.

Encourage exercise while trick or treating. Make trick-or-treating an active family affair. Walk from house to house instead of driv-ing. Wear pedometers to see how far you go.

End the evening with active play. End the trick-or-treating part of the evening early and return home to play some spooktacular ac-tive games and healthy snacks.

Manage the candy. One of the biggest chal-lenges for kids and par-

ents is managing all that Halloween candy.

Ellyn Satter is a well-known specialist on feeding children. She offers these steps to help children learn to man-age sweets and to keep sweets in proportion to the other food they eat:

“On Halloween night, when your chil-dren come home from trick-or-treating, let them lay out their candy, be really excited about it, sort it, and eat as much of it as they want, whenever they want. Let them do the same the next day. On the third day, have them put the candy away (out of sight) and tell them Halloween is over and the candy is a treat. Explain that they

can eat the candy at reg-ular meal and snack times – a couple of small pieces for dessert or snacks. Serve milk with a candy snack to boost nutrition. When the candy is gone, return to healthier snacks.”

Cranbrook writer Joyce Beek has published her first book, a memoir that beautiful-ly captures several generations of family history.

Joyce has been writing for years but was inspired to write about her ancestors by her sis-ter.

“My sister Dell wrote about the lives of servicemen from Dauphin who had been killed in the war. Dell died of cancer and I wanted to carry on in her vein,” Joyce tells the Towns-man.

She began writing “The First Meadowlark” about five years ago and finished in March.

“I wanted children and grandchildren of all families to search out past information and to study and honour their ancestors.”

Joyce was born during a blizzard into a multigenera-tional farming family on the Manitoba prairies midway be-tween the two World Wars.

She is the youngest of five daughters, who lived in a mod-est homestead not far from Dauphin.

Joyce retraces her family’s steps to her pioneer ancestors who first made the long jour-ney from Ontario to the prai-ries in the late 1800s. She tells of their difficult journey – across the Great Lakes to Min-nesota, across the Mississippi to North Dakota, and lastly on a paddle wheeler up the Red River to Winnipeg – and the

struggles they experienced when they finally made it to Manitoba.

For instance, her grand-mother gave birth to 14 chil-dren, but had to bury 10 of them. Eight babies died in in-fancy, a girl died age 10, and another daughter died at age 19. It was a hard life.

“It is easy for me to glory in the past and forget the troubles and pain endured in the early settler days,” Joyce writes.

I most enjoyed “The First Meadowlark” as Joyce shares stories from her childhood, about farming, rural schools and small town living.

Joyce remembers those par-ticularly cold winter days when her father would give her a ride to her tiny rural school in a horse-drawn sled, bundled under a blanket with her feet warmed by heated stones.

She tells of her father’s last harvest, using a four horse team the way he had always done to cut the standing grain.

After her family purchases an automobile, Joyce describes a typical Saturday night in Dau-phin, watching a film in the theatre, spending nickels on li-quorice suckers and jaw break-ers, while her mother visited in the grocery store with neigh-bours.

The book is packed with family photos which bring the stories and personalities to life.

The Lee family – Jack and Elsie and their daughters Phyl-lis, Margie, Isy, Dell and Joyce – seem to be in many ways a

typical Manitoba farming fami-ly, and in “The First Meadow-lark” Joyce captures the experi-ence of many generations who live off the prairie soil.

But what sets the book apart is the affection Joyce shows for her loved ones in gently and respectfully telling their stories.

“I wrote about my sister Dell and my mother often in tears for feelings not expressed in words,” she says.

Joyce lingers on her memo-ries of each of her sisters, who have all passed away now, cap-turing their best traits and sharing her favourite things about them.

“The First Meadowlark” is a touchingly detailed family

memoir that depicts an era that has passed now.

It is sure to be treasured by many future generations of the Lee family’s descendants who will never want for memories of their ancestors.

“The First Meadowlark” will also be enjoyed not only by anyone who grew up on the prairies, but also by those who are curious about that way of life.

Joyce Beek will be a special guest at the Cranbrook Public Library’s 45 Books in 45 Min-utes event. Visit the library from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, November 1, to hear Joyce read from “The First Meadowlark”.

Premier Christy Clark announced $15 million for highway safety improvements in a speech to Vancouver Island business leaders Wednesday, and dan-gled the prospect of liq-uefied natural gas ex-port jobs as well.

In a speech to the Vancouver Island Eco-nomic Alliance Summit in Nanaimo, Clark said not everyone expected her to return for this year’s event, before her upset win in the election in May. Vancouver Is-land was the only region where the B.C. Liberal government lost ground under Clark’s leader-ship, with the party shut out of the populous southern region around the capital Victoria.

The highway com-mitment is for 2.3 km of centre barrier on High-

way 1 from Shawnigan Lake to the Malahat summit, an extended passing lane and im-provements to two in-tersections. Work is to begin next year.

Clark said when it is completed, half of the Malahat corridor will be protected by dividers, including an area near Shawnigan Lake known locally as “NASCAR cor-ner” where vehicles speed to pass before the road narrows.

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone said the Malahat safety improve-ments are an early step towards a larger Van-couver Island transpor-tation strategy that has not yet been revealed.

As she prepares for an Asian trade mission focused on liquefied natural gas exports, Clark said there is “very real interest” from Kore-an investors in LNG ex-

ports from Port Alberni. She said other proposals are in the works for

Campbell River, either of which wool require expansion of existing

gas pipeline capacity that currently serves do-mestic gas demand.

Sam Reinhart scored the winner while Mack-enzie Skapski made three stops to lift the Kootenay Ice to a 4-3 shootout victory over the Rebels in Red Deer on Wednesday night.

Despite falling to an early 2-0 deficit, the Ice were able to mount a comeback in the third period to tie up the game at 3-3 and force the shootout after a scoreless extra frame.

Jaedon Descheneau scored a pair of goals, while Ryan Chynoweyth added a goal to the scoresheet. Skapski made 25 saves over the course of the game, in-cluding overtime.

Reinhart scored the only goal in the shootout, as Tim Bozon and Rinat Valiev were turned away by Rebels netminder Patrik Barto-sak.

Despite a softer start, Kootenay was able to improve throughout the second and third peri-

od, said head coach Ryan McGill.

“We got better as the game went on,” McGill said. “We had to adjust our lines, we were okay territorially in the first 12 minutes of the game, but we didn’t generate anything.

“We gave up two easy goals and that can’t happen.”

The Rebels just about drew blood 10 seconds into the game, taking advantage of a bad giveaway in the Kootenay zone, but Skapski was there to make the save.

However, Red Deer did get on the board six minutes into the game on a turnover, as Lukas Sutter put a low wrist shot into the back of the net.

As the seconds ticked down to end the first period, Matt Belle-rive double the lead for the Rebels, beating a screened Skapski on a wrist shot.

In the middle frame, Descheneau cut the

lead in half over 10 min-utes in by redirecting a backdoor pass from de-fenceman Jagger Dirk, who posted his 100th career WHL point with the assist.

Red Deer answered back early in the third period on a shorthand-ed effort, as Brooks Maxwell stole the puck at the Rebels blue line on an Ice power play, and scored on a break-away.

However, Deschene-au responded with a backhander in the slot that beat Bartosak after Matt Alfaro did some digging in the corner for the puck.

With just under 10

minutes to go in the third period, Rinat Va-liev threw the biscuit on net and Ryan Chynoweth shovelled away to score his sec-ond goal of the season to tie up the affair.

“The second period, we only had one goal to show for it, but we were trending upwards, and I thought we were better in the third,” said Mc-Gill.

“I guess you could kind of call it a bit of an ugly hockey game, but two points is two points and it’s a big win for us as far as coming back, being down on the road going into the third pe-riod.”

The Ice took two late penalties and had to make some key special teams performances at the end of the frame and into overtime. Koo-tenay killed off all three Red Deer powerplays, but were unable to cap-italize on two of their own.

“Our first powerplay, we had lots of opportu-

nities to score goals, we had no finish in our game on the powerplay, but we definitely had scoring chances,” said McGill. “Unfortunately we didn’t score.

“I will say this—the penalty kill was huge character in the third, for sure.”

Overtime solved nothing, though Red Deer held the edge in shots 4-1. Bozon, Rein-hart and Valiev—who was chosen, according to McGill, because of his performance in a shootout drill earlier this week—were tapped for the shootout.

Red Deer fielded Rhyse Dieno, Dominik Volek and Connor Bleackley—all of whom were stopped by Skaps-ki, who has an unblem-ished record in the shootout.

In handing the Reb-els their fifth straight loss, Kootenay leapfrogs ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Allen Iverson retires after NBA prospects dry up

Say goodbye, A.I.Allen Iverson officially retired from the NBA on

Wednesday, ending a 15-year career during which he won the 2001 MVP award and four scoring titles. Iverson retired in Philadelphia where he had his greatest successes and led the franchise to the 2001 NBA finals.

Iverson says he’ll be a Sixer “until the day I die.”The 6-foot guard had not played in an NBA game

since Feb. 20, 2010, and had a brief pro stint in Tur-key. He also played for Denver, Detroit and Mem-phis. Iverson scored 24,368 points and was an 11-time All-Star.

Former Georgetown coach John Thompson and former Sixers great Julius Erving were in attendance for the ceremony.

Iverson says he always thought retirement would be a “tragic” day. But he says he’s happy in his per-sonal life and at peace with his decision.

Hudson’s Bay Co. unveils Canadian Olympic team

uniforms for Sochi GamesTORONTO - Canadians are getting their first

glimpse of the styles that the country’s Olympic ath-letes will be sporting in Sochi.

Official outfitter Hudson’s Bay Co. unveiled the Canadian Olympic team uniforms for the 2014 Win-ter Games during an event in Toronto today.

As always, the patriotic new designs flaunt Cana-da’s colours as well as black. The collection will fea-ture “Canada” in a vintage classic wordmark as well as imagery of the polar bear, beaver and loon.

All of the replica garments being made for con-sumers and a portion of clothes created for the ath-letes are being made in China.

After the Canadian team uniforms were unveiled ahead of the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the federal government and several opposition MPs cried foul after learning most of the clothes were manufac-tured by the host country - China -and not in Cana-da.

Red Wings edge Canucks 2-1 in VancouverJOSHUA CLIPPERTON

Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Tomas Tatar scored his first goal of the sea-son late in the second period Wednesday as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Vancouver Canucks 2-1.

Daniel Alfredsson had the other goal for the Red Wings (7-4-2), while Jimmy Howard made 19 saves as Detroit snapped a four-game slide.

Daniel Sedin scored for Vancouver (9-5-1), which fin-ished with a season-low 20 shots and saw its four-game winning streak come to an end.

Roberto Luongo stopped 25 shots in taking the loss. Henrik Sedin set up Vancouver’s first goal to extend his point streak to 10 games (three goals, nine assists).

Trailing 1-0 after the first period in a game that lacked much excitement, Alfredsson tied the score at 11:37 of the second with his third goal of the season. The former Ottawa Senators captain picked up a loose puck in the slot and fired a shot off the post that re-bounded in off Luongo’s leg.

Playing just his fifth game of

the season, the 22-year-old Tatar then gave Detroit its first lead of the night with 62 sec-onds left in the period. With the Canucks collapsing in their own zone, Tartar fired a weak shot from just inside the blue-line that found its way through Luongo. Vancouver defence-man Christopher Tanev tried to get out of the way of the shot, but instead appeared to screen the Canucks’ goalie.

No longer conference rivals thanks to realignment, the Ca-nucks and Red Wings com-bined for just 31 shots and few scoring chances through two periods in a defensive match-up that was played between the blue-lines most of the night.

Vancouver’s power play,

which has just four goals all season and came in ranked 28th in the NHL, got an oppor-tunity early in the third but was unable to muster any real-istic scoring chances.

Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows, playing in his second game back from injury after breaking his foot in the season opener, then fanned on a chance in the slot right in front of Howard.

Vancouver head coach John Tortorella reunited Bur-rows with the Sedin twins to start the third period. Ryan Kesler, usually Vancouver’s second-line centre, had been playing on the top line since about the midway point of the Canucks’ recent seven-game road trip.

Luongo kept Vancouver in it with a big pad stop on De-troit’s Justin Abdelkader on a 3-on-1 break with five minutes to go to keep his team in it, but the Canucks couldn’t find a way past Howard.

The Sedins teamed up to energize an otherwise dull first period with the opening goal at 14:12. Daniel Sedin glided over the Red Wings’ blue-line and made a drop pass to Hen-rik Sedin, who cut into the slot. Daniel Sedin moved to the bottom of the faceoff circle and one-timed the return feed past a helpless Howard for his sixth of the season.

Luongo then made a big save off former Canucks for-ward Todd Bertuzzi with four minutes left in the period.

Red Sox win World Series, beat Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6Ronald BlumAssociated Press

BOSTON - There hasn’t been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.

Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.

David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, base-ball’s bearded wonders, capped their remark-able turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.

With the celebration underway, Ortiz took a microphone on the field and addressed a city still reeling from the marathon bombings about a mile away in April.

“This is for you, Bos-ton. You guys deserve it,” said Ortiz, the Series MVP. “We’ve been through a lot this year and this is for all of you and all those families who struggled.”

And this time, the Red Sox didn’t have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth’s team back in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old stadi-um, oldest in the ma-jors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a cele-bration more than a lifetime in the making.

“Maybe they won’t have to go another 95

years,” said John Farrell, a champion in his first season as Boston’s manager.

Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resil-ient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Bos-ton rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster in the third inning on a 93 mph fastball from rook-ie sensation Michael Wacha. Pumped with emotion, Victorino pounded his chest with both fists three times.

John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clinch-er for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2-3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.

With fans roaring on every pitch and camer-as flashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpen-ter for the final out. The Japanese pitcher

jumped into the arms of catcher David Ross while Red Sox players rushed from the dugout and bullpen as the Bos-ton theme “Dirty Water” played on the pub-lic-address system.

There wasn’t the “Cowboy Up!” come-back charm of “The Idi-ots” from 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought. There wasn’t that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that swept Colora-do.

“We have a lot of players with heart. We probably don’t have the talent that we had in ‘07 and ‘04, but we have guys that are capable (of staying) focused and do the little things,” Ortiz said.

This time, they were Boston Strong - playing for and trying to com-fort a city shaken by the marathon tragedy.

“We’ve dealt with a lot,” Dustin Pedroia said. “But our team came together.”

After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassing revelations of a chick-en-and-beer clubhouse culture that contributed to the ouster of manag-er Terry Francona, and the daily tumult of Bobby Valentine’s one-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.

Just like the long whiskers on the players’ faces, starting with

Gomes’ scruffy spring training beard.

“As soon as we went to Fort Myers, the mov-ie’s already been writ-ten,” Gomes said. “All we had to do was press play, and this is what happened.”

The only player re-maining from the 2004 champs, Ortiz had him-self a Ruthian World Se-ries. He batted .688 (11 for 16) with two hom-ers, six RBIs and eight walks - including four in the finale - for a .760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances, the second-highest in Se-ries history.

Even slumping Ste-phen Drew delivered a big hit in Game 6, send-ing Wacha’s first pitch of the fourth into the right-centre bullpen for a 4-0 lead. By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoli and Victorino had made it 6-0, and the Red Sox were on their way.

“Hey, I missed two games. It’s time to shine,” Victorino said.

All over New En-gland, from Connecti-cut’s Housatonic River up to the Aroostook in Maine, Boston’s eighth championship can be remembered for the beard-yanking bond-ing.

Fans bid up the aver-age ticket price to over $1,000 on the resale market and some prime locations went for more

than $10,000 each. Nearly all the Red Sox rooters stood in place for 30 minutes after the final out to view the pre-sentation of the trophy and MVP award. A few thousand remained when a beaming Ortiz came back on the field with his son 75 minutes after the final out.

“It was an awesome atmosphere here to-night,” Lackey said.

The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, one heavy with the memory of the

events that unfolded on Patriots Day, when three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox wore “Boston Strong” logos on their left sleeves, erected a large emblem on the Green Monster and moved the logo into the cen-tre-field grass as a con-stant reminder.

“There’s I think a civil responsibility that we have wearing this uniform, particularly

here in Boston,” Farrell said. “And it became a connection initially, the way our guys reached out to individuals or to hospital visits. And it continued to build throughout the course of the season. I think our fans, they got to a point where they appre-ciated the way we played the game, how they cared for one an-other. And in return they gave these guys an incredible amount of energy to thrive on in this ballpark.”

Canada beats South Korea in soccer friendlydean Bennet tCanadian Press

EDMONTON - Christine Sin-clair, Brittany Timko, and Adriana Leon scored but goalkeeper Erin McLeod saved the game Wednes-day as Canada’s national wom-en’s team beat South Korea 3-0 in a friendly at Commonwealth Sta-dium.

McLeod, playing in front of a hometown crowd, made five leaping or diving saves off bullet drives in the first half to hold off a South Korean team that held the edge in play but couldn’t finish.

In the space of three minutes McLeod stopped two shots from Korean forward So Yun Ji.

At the 32-minute mark Ji curled a shot around the wall on a free kick toward the lower corner that a diving McLeod just got a hand on to direct away.

Three minutes later she went vertical to get her fingertips on a Ji blast from 25 feet out.

“She’s a phenomenal player,” McLeod said of Ji.

“She tried to catch me off

guard a few times.“They did well in our end and

we did well to keep them at zero.”Canada struggled in the first

half to get the ball up to striker Sinclair on a chilly night before 12,746 fans.

Canada didn’t get its first shot on net until the 18-minute mark.

But when the Canadians found the net, they made the most of it.

Sinclair opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, heading a Diana Matheson corner kick off the far goalpost past Korean keeper Min Kyung Jun.

Canada scored again at the 39th minute on a tic-tac-toe play that began when Matheson lobbed the ball in front of the net. Defender Carmelina Moscato flicked it to Melissa Busque, who headed the ball into the path of Timko, who then kicked the ball in from in close.

Forward Adriana Leon took a pass from Kaylyn Kyle from 10 feet out and directed a low shot past Jun to make it 3-0 at the

69-minute mark.Stephanie Labbe replaced Mc-

Leod in the second half.McLeod said the win was grat-

ifying given the team is just get-ting back together after a long break.

“We’re not game fit. We’ve come off a month and a half break, so I think the last 20 min-utes of the game I think we showed the most character, stay-ing compact.”

Head coach John Herdman said the team played well consid-ering the long layoff, but said Mc-Leod came through when it counted.

“What a goalkeeper. Arguably the best in the world,” he said.

“(The Koreans) deserved a goal or two. It could’ve been a closer match. I suggest we’ve still got a little work to do.

“In the flanks and the wide areas we looked a little sloppy at times.

“The Koreans were technically brilliant at times. That’s what we’re aspiring to.”

TRAFFIC SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL: CRANBROOK RCMP

Roadways are a very dynamic environment with situations and circumstances that can change quickly. There is great potential for injury and property damage if drivers are not obeying the rules of the road.

Signs and signals such as school zones, stop, yield signs and traf� c lights are only a few tool used to assist drivers in keeping safe while they navigate City streets. In order for these signs and signals to work, they � rst need to be seen then obeyed.

Please be aware of and respect all traf� c signage and signals when driving all year. Make sure our streets are safe for everyone!

C anadian Press

TORONTO - Star Ca-nadian cyclist Ryder Hesjedal says he “chose the wrong path” after re-ports emerged Wednes-day that suggested he was involved in doping.

Excerpts from a new book by former Danish rider Michael Rasmus-sen say Hesjedal was shown how to use per-formance-enhancing drugs at the start of his career.

“And even though those mistakes hap-pened more than 10 years ago, and they were short-lived, it does not change the fact that I made them and I have lived with that and been sorry for it ever since,” Hesjedal said in the statement.

Hesjedal did not ex-plicitly say he took per-formance-enhancing drugs, but in the contrite statement he apologized to fans, sponsors and other cyclists.

“To everyone in my life, inside and outside the sport, to those that have supported me and

my dreams - including my friends, my family, the media, fans, my peers, sponsors - to rid-ers who didn’t make the same choices as me all those years ago, I sin-cerely apologize for my part in the dark past of the sport. I will always be sorry,” he said.

Excerpts of Rasmus-sen’s autobiography “Yellow Fever,” released Wednesday in Danish newspaper “Politiken,” claim that Rasmussen taught Hesjedal and fel-low Canadian cyclists Seamus McGrath and Chris Sheppard how to use EPO, a banned sub-stance used in blood doping, in 2003 when Hesjedal was a young mountain bike racer.

Rasmussen did not claim he ever saw any of the Canadians actually take EPO or any other banned substance.

Neither Sheppard nor McGrath could be immediately reached for comment on the allega-tions, which have not been verified by The Ca-nadian Press.

A Cycling Canada spokesman said he didn’t know where they could be reached. Ac-cording to cyclingnews.com, Sheppard tested positive for EPO in 2005 and was banned for two years by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.

Rasmussen, a climb-ing specialist and veter-an of four Tour de France races, admitted in Janu-ary to using perfor-mance-enhancing drugs throughout most of his career.

Hesjedal switched

from mountain bike to road racing and won the Giro d’Italia last year to become the first Canadi-an to win a major Euro-pean tour event. The 21-day grind through Italy’s mountains, valleys and coastlines is one of the world’s three Grand Tour races.

The Garmin-Sharp rider battled injuries this past year.

He broke a rib in a Stage 1 crash at the Tour de France but soldiered on and finished 70th. Hesjedal had to with-draw from the Tour de

Suisse after crashing out in the early stages and a virus prematurely ended his bid to defend his Giro title.

A three-time Olympi-an, the Victoria rider fin-ished sixth at the 2010 Tour de France.

Hesjedal, 32, won the Lionel Conacher Award last year as The Canadi-an Press male athlete of the year.

“I believe that being truthful will help the sport continue to move forward, and over a year ago when I was contact-ed by anti-doping au-

thorities, I was open and honest about my past,” Hesjedal said. “I have seen the best and the worst of the sport and I believe that it is now in the best place it’s ever been.

“I look at young riders on our team and throughout the peloton, and I know the future of the sport has arrived. I’m glad that they didn’t have to make the same choices I did, and I will do everything I can to continue to help the sport that I love.”

In a statement, Cy-

cling Canada said it was “concerned by the alle-gations.”

“Cycling Canada has always taken a strong stance against doping and we wish to reiterate that doping has no place in our sport,” the stat-ment said. “Those that break the rules will be punished to the fullest extent allowed by the an-ti-doping regulations.”

Hesjedal won’t be subject to sanctions be-cause there is an eight-year statute of limita-tions under World An-ti-Doping Agency rules.

CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders’ regular-season fi-nale is an odd mix.

The result has no signifi-cance in the standings or play-off implications, but head coach John Hufnagel faces a balancing act as he tries to pre-pare his charges for the post-season, while giving some players a chance to set remark-

able records.The Stampeders (14-3)

close out the regular season in Vancouver against the B.C. Lions on Friday. Calgary se-cured first place in the CFL’s West Division with a 29-25 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders last Saturday.

Calgary hosts the division final Nov. 17. After Friday’s game, the Stampeders benefit from a few days of rest that di-

vision semifinalists Saskatche-wan and B.C. won’t get as they prepare for their playoff game Nov. 10 in Regina.

Hufnagel wants to put every player he takes to Vancouver on the field Friday to ensure they are all ready for the post-season.

That includes the three quarterbacks Kevin Glenn, Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitch-ell. Hufnagel has said Glenn

will start, but his plan is for each man to take multiple snaps.

Then there are the Stam-peders looking to set personal milestones. Running back Jon Cornish is just under a 100 yards from breaking a fran-chise record for single-season rushing yards held by Willie Burden since 1975. Defensive end Charleston Hughes is two sacks from a club record 20.

Groups with projects that support social well-being and address social issues in Basin communities are invited to apply to Columbia Basin Trust’s (CBT’s) Social Grants Program. The deadline is January 9, 2014.

After considering input from socially fo-cused groups, CBT has adjusted this third in-take of the three-year pilot program in two key ways: 1) the program will now have one in-take per year (with $1 million in funding avail-able) and 2) there will be increased support available to applicants in developing projects and moving through the application process.

“We received feed-back that applicants would like more sup-port and guidance, which we’re pleased we can now provide,” said Sabrina Curtis, CBT Di-rector, Sector Initiatives. “Plus a larger volume of funds available in a sin-gle intake will help en-sure that more appli-cants with strong proj-ects that are ready to move forward will re-ceive funding when they need it.”

CBT is committing increased resources to

help applicants deter-mine which projects are eligible for the program, discuss projects with them and guide them through the application process.

The January 9 dead-line means groups have over two months to work with CBT to pre-pare their applications. Groups interested in ap-plying should contact CBT to access support from a Social Grants Program advisor.

Granting decisions are made by the Social Grants Program Selec-tion Committee, a vol-unteer group of Basin residents that includes individuals who have experience and exper-tise in the social sector and individuals who have broader communi-ty development experi-ence.

For more informa-tion about the program, and to download guide-lines and the applica-tion form, visit www.cbt.org/sgp.

“I’ve been proud to serve the people of BC Southern Interior,” Ata-manenko said in a state-ment to media. “As I look ahead to retire-ment in two years, I’d like to thank my constit-uents for electing me to represent their interests in Ottawa. “

Atamanenko has served the people of BC Southern Interior since his election in 2006. In that time, he has held several critic portfolios, including Food Securi-ty, Rural Affairs, and Ag-riculture.

“I’d like to thank Alex

Atamanenko says he’ll retire in 2015

The Nelson Police Department has arrest-ed 15 alleged drug deal-ers following an under-cover project intended to “determine the scope and extent” of drug use and trafficking in the community.

Police say during the operation, officers from the BC municipal un-dercover program bought or seized mari-juana, cocaine, ket-amine, GHB, ecstacy, morphine, and meth-amphetamines.

Three vehicles were also seized through the civil forfeiture process.

Since the operation ended, police have shared the information they gathered with other agencies for fur-

ther investigation, chief Wayne Holland said. Other suspects have also been identified.

Some of those ar-rested have already pled guilty and are serving jail time. How-ever, Holland declined to release their names or give specifics of their sentences for fear of prejudicing other cases still before the courts.

Holland wouldn’t confirm whether the suspects had previous convictions, but said all were local residents. While they didn’t nec-essarily work together, they would have been familiar with one an-other, he added.

“Often one trafficker, if asked for something they don’t have, would

steer a person to anoth-er trafficker. They may work in isolation and not necessarily act as an organized group, but definitely know each other.”

He said the under-cover operation fol-lowed up on suspicions that substances in Nel-son are more potent and dangerous, includ-ing synthetic or design-er drugs.

“Police always gauge drug sales and transac-tions in a community. That’s normal,” he said. “The difference is that this time we saw far more designer drugs of a greater variety. You just don’t know what these are comprised of. We’re coming across people in medical dis-tress because of them.

It’s not a pretty sight.”Holland asked citi-

zens, especially parents and teachers, to be on the lookout for the drugs in question and warn their children and students about them.

While they were not surprised by the level of drug trafficking in the community, Holland said they never expect-ed to arrest so many ac-cused traffickers.

Working with feder-al crown counsel, he said police tried to make as many purchas-es as they could in the greatest amounts be-fore deciding who to arrest. “It took a few days to round them up, but we got everybody,” he said. “None knew they had sold to police officers.”

Asked whether the arrests would make a dent in the local drug trade, Holland replied:

“Word is it’s more diffi-cult to buy some drugs in Nelson right now. We hope that’s so but want

to send a message to [dealers] that we’re onto them and not going to let up.”

For the past 50 years Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and contempo-

rary themes. Originally trained in classic piano Judy Collins made her public debut performing Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos at the age of 13. But it was her father’s introduction to a wide variety of artist including Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger that eventually sparked Judy’s love of lyrics. In 1961, Judy Collins released her � rst album, A Maid of Constant Sorrow and began a thirty-� ve year association with Jac Holzman and Elektra Records. Over the next 50 years Judy released 49 albums o� en interpreting songs of fellow artists including the social poets of her time Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. In 1968 Judy Collins released her Wild� owers album which won a Grammy for her rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and was subsequently entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 1975 Judy’s version of “Send in the Clowns” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim won song of the year at the Grammy awards. Judy has continued an impressive musical career with an extensive catalog from every decade throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and up to the present. Now 71, Judy Collins continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.

Postmedia News

OTTAWA - The De-fence Department has pegged the full cost of Canada buying, owning, replacing and disposing of 65 F-35 stealth fight-ers at $44.8 billion over 42 years, according to a report tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday.†It’s the first time Canadians have been presented the full price Canada can expect to bear all the way from the aircraft’s develop-ment through to dispos-al, and it far surpasses any previous figure made public.

The report comes after years of criticism over what has been seen as the Harper govern-ment’s refusal to fully disclose how much the F-35s will cost.

The costs have also been made public as the government has been trying to prove to Cana-dians that it has truly pushed the “reset” but-ton on its plans to pur-chase F-35s.

Yet even the num-bers included in the re-port aren’t the full story, as the Department of National Defence warned that “these esti-mates will change as more information be-comes available.”

Among the un-knowns are inflation, exchange rate changes and a variety of other unknown costs and variables that could af-fect the cost estimates by billions of dollars.

There are also a number of built-in as-sumptions that, if prov-en false, would also raise the price tag.

This includes a pre-diction the F-35s will be flown 20-per-cent less than Canada’s current fleet of CF-18s and that a total of 3,100 F-35s will be bought by Canada and its allies.

A reduction of 400 aircraft, the report states, would increase Canada’s costs by $500 million.

The report also doesn’t include the cost of acquiring between seven and 11 replace-ment aircraft that are predicted to be needed as some of Canada’s F-35s crash or are other-wise lost over the course of the program.

This alone is expect-

ed to cost $1 billion - which would bring the $44.8-billion cost to $45.8 billion.

The report does vin-dicate some of the cost predictions presented by National Defence in the past, including its estimate that the aircraft will cost about $25 bil-lion over 20 years.

It also shows that as things stand, the cost of simply buying the air-craft would be within the $9 billion set aside by the Harper govern-ment to replace Cana-da’s aging fleet of CF-18s - for now.

The government had initially set aside an $800-million contingen-cy to offset any variables in the actual cost of pur-chasing the stealth fight-ers.

But that number has since shrunk by 25 per cent to $602 million as the estimated cost of each F-35 has increased from about $75 million to $87.4 million.

That could be signifi-cant as the report says there could be a cost fluctuation of as much as 28 per cent - or $1. 7 billion - if things don’t go as planned.

“Based on the capa-bility of modern aircraft and simulator technolo-gy, it is expected that a fleet of up to 65 aircraft will provide sufficient capacity and flexibility to maintain Canada’s defence commitments at home and abroad,” the report concludes.

Yet the report also

says that the loss of an aircraft - or, by infer-ence, the decision to buy fewer than 65 F-35s - “would result in a di-minished capacity to undertake and sustain discretionary opera-tions.

“Therefore, opera-tional risk will need to be managed, partly through the assignment of additional flying hours to the remaining aircraft, if lost aircraft is not replaced.”

Industry Canada has also downsized its esti-mate for how much Ca-nadian business can ex-pect to benefit if Canada does go ahead with its plans to purchase the F-35, from $10.5 billion U.S. to less than $9.8 bil-lion U.S.

Exactly why Canadi-an companies are ex-pected to have $700 mil-lion less in opportuni-ties associated with the F-35 is not clear.

While the cost esti-mates are based on the idea of Canada replac-ing its CF-18s with the stealth fighter, which re-mains an option, the government has also di-rected the Canadian Forces to consider all other possible options.

Defence is currently re-assessing what mis-sions Canada’s next air-craft will be required to fly, what threats it will face and what technolo-gy and capabilities are available to Canada.

This will also include reaching out to other aircraft manufacturers

Long-term cost of F-35 jet fighter almost $45 billion, new report confirms

such as Boeing and Eu-rofighter to determine what their aircraft are able to do and how much they will cost compared to the F-35.

It’s not clear whether those companies will co-operate or not unless an open competition is held, something the government has so far refused to discuss.

Hi, I am Lance Rilea from Lancer Marine ‘N Tackle in Cranbrook. Gary Knight has been my accountant for close to 5 years. I’m impressed with his professionalism, and knowledge of the tax system. He consults with us throughout the year and is a key part of our business decisions. If you are looking for an accountant I recommend Gary and the team at Knight and Company.

LANCE:

Starting with your 1998 tax income return, and every year thereafter, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) implemented rules regarding foreign invest-ments, offshore transfers and foreign receipts.

Canadian resident individuals and trusts (and most corpora-tions) which held specified foreign property with a cost of more than $100,000.00 were required to file Form 1135. Taxpayers were re-quired to indicate the range and location of each invest-ment for different categories of assets. A detailed descrip-tion of each individual invest-

ment was not required.

What’s new?On June 25, 2013, the Hon-ourable Gail Shea, then Min-ister of National Revenue and Minister for the Atlantic Can-ada Opportunities Agency an-nounced the launch of a strengthened Foreign Income Verification Statement (Form T1135). This is one of the Economic Action Plan 2013 measures to better target in-ternational tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance.

Starting with the 2013 taxa-tion year, Canadian taxpayers who hold specified foreign

property with a cost amount of over $100,000 in total, at any time in the taxation year, are required to provide addi-tional information to the Can-ada Revenue Agency (CRA). The criteria for those who must file Form T1135 have not changed; however, the new Form has been revised to include more detailed infor-mation on foreign property.

Specified foreign property that must be reported to the CRA includes:

• Funds held outside Cana-da;

• Shares of non-resident cor-

porations (other than for-eign affiliates);

• Indebtedness owed by non-residents (other than from foreign affiliates);

• Interests in certain non-resident trusts;

• Real property situated outside Canada (other than personal use prop-erty and real property used in an active busi-ness); and

• Other types of foreign property such as intan-gible property not used in a business and certain rights under contract.

In addition, taxpayers subject to the reporting requirement must identify the country

code that is applicable for each specified foreign prop-erty, the maximum and year-end cost amounts of the prop-erty, the income or loss, and capital gains realized from each property during the taxa-tion year. The web-based fill-able form contains tables that are expandable based on the number of properties to be re-ported for the taxation year.

Revised Form T1135 ex-cludes certain property from the detailed reporting require-ment. The reporting exclusion provides that where the tax-payer has received a T3 or T5 from a Canadian issuer in re-spect of a particular specified foreign property, the details of that particular specified for-eign property do not have to

be disclosed in one of the ta-bles on Form T1135. Wheth-er the reporting exclusion ap-plies must be determined for each specified foreign prop-erty and for each taxation year during which the prop-erty was held. For example, if there are numerous properties held in one investment ac-count, only those properties for which a T3 or T5 was is-sued for a particular taxation year would be subject to the reporting exclusion in that particular year.

A specific property may be subject to the reporting exclu-sion in one year and not in another year depending on whether it earned income for which a T3 or T5 was issued.

The taxpayer is still required to file Form T1135 by the fil-ing due date even if a T3 or T5 was issued in respect of all specified foreign property held during the taxation year. In this case, the taxpayer would complete the identifi-cation information and check the reporting exclusion box on Form T1135. The report-ing exclusion is administra-tive and is not contained in the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act.

The Revised Form T1135 ap-plies to 2013 and subsequent taxation years. The new Form was released on June 25, 2013 and applies to taxa-tion years ending after June 30, 2013. Form T1135 must be filed with the CRA on or before the filing due date of the related tax return in the case of a personal tax return, a corporate tax return, or a trust tax return, or the filing due date of the T5013 Part-nership Information Return in the case of a partnership. The old Form T1135 will still be accepted for taxation years that ended prior to July 1, 2013.

Information to be reported on the new form for each speci-fied foreign property:

• The name of the specific foreign institution, invest-ment or other entity hold-ing funds outside Canada.

• The specific country to which the foreign property relates.

• The cost of the property at the end of the year, the highest cost amount dur-ing the year and the in-come or gains generated from the foreign property,

The Cranbrook and District Community Foundation - A Legacy

of Community BuildingWhat is a legacy? Each one of us is going to leave a legacy. Choices build the impact of our legacy.

What kind of legacy are you going to leave? The Knight of Pythius Crescent Lodge #33 served our community from 1910 – 2010; actively supporting charitable causes throughout those years. However the lodge’s impact will continue to be a part of Cranbrook and District into the future. Their donation of $25,000 created an endowment fund with the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF) that will be a lasting legacy; giving back to our community forever.

Each year, the City of Cranbrook presents the Community Builder Award. Funds from the Knights of Pythius endowment, grants $500 to the charity designated by the award recipient. The award honours those who work tirelessly to enhance the lives of residents and strengthen our community’s resources. The Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary received the award in 2013. They have served the community for 112 years! Their 260 volunteers staff the hospital gift shop, operate the Thrift Shop on 8th Avenue, greet people and give directions at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and offer help at long term care facil-ities. It is important to note that proceeds from their efforts fund the purchase of new equipment for the hospital.

Community Initiatives are another way the Cranbrook and District Community Founda-tion collaborates with organizations to leave legacies for future residents to benefit from, gather strength and thrive. The CDCF supports a variety of community initiatives in our area. We provide administration support and charitable receipting to the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter Project, Rotary Cranbrook Sunrise’s Restoration of the Alco Engine and Key City Gymnastic Club Society’s efforts to develop and expand their gymnasium.

It is your time to invest in community and leave a legacy for all to enjoy. The CDCF realizes that people give with intent. Whether it’s to support a child’s sports team, volunteer their time at a local senior’s center or to address the broader issue of health care in the East Kootenay Area, people today give with intent. Further to that, they are giving with the intent that their dollars will impact the community they live in directly and in a positive way. By doing so they are investing in community.

Now is your time!

The Cranbrook and District Community Foundation: investing in community for good and forever.

on a property by property basis.

I am including one of the many questions that CRA has posted on its web site which I believe would apply to the majority on individual tax-payers.

Question: Is a taxpayer who holds U.S. stocks through Ca-nadian brokerage houses re-quired to file Form T1135 if the cost of such securities is more than $100,000?

Answer: Shares of non-resi-dent corporations should be reported, regardless of wheth-er the shares are physically held inside Canada or outside Canada and regardless of whether the shares are held by the person or through a bro-

kerage house.

Penalties for: 162(7) – Failure to comply The penalty for failing to file a return is $25 per day for up to 100 days (minimum $100 and maximum $2,500).

162(10)(a) – Failure to fur-nish foreign-based informa-tion – Where the failure to file is done knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence, the penalty is $500 per month for up to 24 months (maximum $12,000), less any penalties already lev-ied.

162(10)(b) – Failure to fur-nish foreign-based informa-tion – Where a demand to file a return is issued under sub-

section 233(1) and the person or partnership knowingly or under circumstances amount-ing to gross negligence fails to comply with the demand, the penalty is $1,000 per month for up to 24 months (maximum $24,000), less any penalties already levied.

162(10.1) – Additional pen-alty – After 24 months, the penalty becomes 5% of whichever of the following resulted in the requirement to file the information return, less any penalties already lev-ied: the cost of the foreign property; the fair market val-ue of the property transferred or loaned to the trust; or the cost of the shares and indebt-edness of the foreign affiliate.

False statements and omis-

sions

163(2.4) – This penalty ap-plies to people who, know-ingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negli-gence, make false statements or omissions in an informa-tion return.

The penalty is the greater of either $24,000 or 5% of whichever of the following the false statement or omis-sion was made about: the cost of the foreign property; the fair market value of the prop-erty transferred or loaned to the trust; or the cost of the shares and indebtedness of the foreign affiliate.

These changes to reporting of specified foreign property will affect a large number of

individual taxpayers and the filing of their 2013 tax re-turns.------------------------------------G a r y K n i g h t , C.M.A.,C.G.A.,T.E.P. author of “The Problem Solver” is

The extreme roads of B.C. are more extreme than the usual Alberta locations – but the orga-nizers decided to up the ante, as the Rocky Mountain Rally is cele-brating its 40th anniver-sary this year.

“Valley forest roads can lead the track 10 to 15 kilometres into the woods, whereas in Al-berta, forestry logging roads often dead end, which means we would have to go in, turn around and come back out again,” explained chair and project man-ager John Blaber. “So the rally here will be constantly moving. Rac-ers won’t be waiting around for stages to be turned around so they can come back out.”

The competitors have become familiar with the old roads, so it was time for a change, he added.

Invermere was in-volved with the Rocky Mountain Rally before; however, that was during the inaugural

race in 1973, when the race route started in Jas-per and drew across the finish line in Invermere.

The race festivities will begin Friday morn-ing. An event on the street will feature the competitors before the race, allowing specta-tors to meet the racers and check out the cars. From there, the race can be seen from numerous locations through Inver-mere.

The official start time is 11:30 a.m.

“We’ve identified key locations where we want spectators to go,” Mr. Blaber said, refer-ring to maps tailored to the event. “We’ve co-lour-coded those loca-tions like ski runs: green areas are very easy to get to with a short walk from a parking lot. Blues are a bit tougher, maybe require a drive into the woods. And then we

have a black area, which is a bit of a tougher walk.”

He said that the only black label is on a series of hairpin bends, he said.

“You’ll see the cars climbing up one hill — as they come up they bounce, and then when they return, they’re going back downhill.”

The event will be en-tirely free for spectators to enjoy.

Police are investigating the theft of a boat motor from Camp Koola-ree.

On Wednesday, October 23, two volunteers for the camp showed up at McDonald’s Landing to go over and make repairs during the off-sea-son. When they arrived they discov-ered the motor was missing from the camp’s boat.

The 25 horse power motor, which was locked to the small aluminum boat with a cable, had last been used by camp volunteers on Friday, Octo-ber 11.

The boat was due to be taken out of the water for winter storage this weekend. Another user of the public dock says he had noticed the motor was gone off the boat a few days ear-lier but no one is sure exactly when

the motor went missing.The eight year-old motor had

been serving the camp mainly for transporting luggage and supplies across to Camp Koolaree, which is accessible only by boat or by a two-hour hike on foot.

The motor cost nearly $4,000 new, however with depreciation, it is unlikely the camp will see any insur-ance money towards its replacement after the insurance deductible is met.

This comes as a hard blow to the camp, which nearly closed last spring due to financial difficulties, but was rescued by an outpouring of donations from the community.

Camp Koolaree has been serving the area since 1931, operating main-ly with volunteer labour, and is a United Way charity.

In one of the most emotional moments to be witnessed by Spar-wood Council, shouts of joy and tears of happi-ness flowed from the gallery as Council unan-imously approved a one million dollar donation to Lilac Terrace, allow-ing them to begin a much anticipated and hoped for expansion.

With only three days to spare the impending deadline of October 31, members of the Lilac Terrace Board and at-tending general public held their breath as Council made their final decision during a Spe-cial Meeting held on Oc-tober 28.

Not new to the dele-gations, the Lilac Ter-race administrator Deb-orah Friesen and board members have been to Council on several oc-casions in the past

month in an effort to se-cure the funding, but have been deferred on all occasions until the Special Meeting in hopes other promising

funding sources would come through.

When no alternate guaranteed funders were recognized, Coun-cil determined it was the

District who would guarantee the million dollars allowing the project to move forward, while noting that their financial contribution could be decreased by fundraising as well as other donations that come through in the months ahead.

Riding on this deci-sion was years of hard work by the Lilac Ter-race Board.

“We have been look-ing at expansion since 2004 and in June we ap-plied for a grant through B.C. Housing and Co-lumbia Basin Trust re-questing one million dollars, and received notice of intent to pro-ceed upon conditions of us having confirmation of a one million dollar commitment of our own,” said Friesen. “With the approval from Council we are now able to move forward into a stage called the provi-

sional project applica-tion where we will work with a B.C. Housing Project Officer to final-ize details and draw-ings.”

The expansion to the west end of the building will include 12 more apartments, similar to those currently at Lilac Terrace as well as two more community rooms, which will be used for palliative or re-spite care.

“This is really amaz-ing to see. Since the hos-pital closed, there has not been any palliative or respite care options in Sparwood,” said Friesen. “We have been through many situa-tions where families have had to go out of town and seniors have desperately wished to spend the remainder of their lives in their home and now we are finally able to offer this service to our community.”

James KellerCanadian Press

VANCOUVER — The freelance journalist who first wrote about abuse allegations involving former Vancouver Olympic CEO John Fur-long insists it is her, not Furlong, whose reputa-tion has been unfairly damaged, and she says she’s eager to defend herself in court.

Laura Robinson wrote an article in the Georgia Straight news-paper last year that al-leged Furlong verbally and physically abused students while he was a teacher in northern B.C. in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The article prompted Furlong to sue Robinson and the paper for libel.

Since the story, three people who claim to be former students, includ-ing at least one who ap-peared in Robinson’s original article, filed lawsuits containing ex-plosive allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

Furlong went on the offensive this week in a series of media inter-views, categorically de-nying any wrongdoing and casting Robinson as a vindictive activist who has published false alle-gations as part of a per-sonal vendetta against him.

Robinson says in a

statement Wednesday that Furlong’s fierce crit-icism of her, especially during what she de-scribed as the “on-slaught’’ of interviews he participated in this week, has been unfair.

“I value my hard-earned reputation as a freelance investigative journalist,’’ Robinson says in the statement re-leased by her lawyer.

“My personal reputa-tion, my reputation as a journalist, and my abili-ty to earn a living have been seriously damaged by Mr. Furlong’s vindic-tive personal attacks.’’

Robinson says she stands by her original article and she urged Furlong to take the steps necessary to bring the case to trial quickly.

Robinson says her

lawyers will file a mo-tion to have the case dis-missed “for want of prosecution’’ and to have portions of Fur-long’s statement of claim that “attack me personally and profes-sionally’’ struck out.

Furlong said in inter-views this week that the RCMP “cleared my name,’’ pointing to a let-ter he received from the police in April that said investigators found no evidence to substantiate allegations by one of the complainants.

The RCMP said this week the case “remains open,’’ which Furlong said he could not ex-plain.

Robinson seized on the apparent discrepan-cy in her statement.

Furlong’s lawyer,

John Hunter, could not be reached for com-ment on Robinson’s statement.

During his media blitz, Furlong said he

would be “escalating’’ his lawsuit against Rob-inson, while dropping his claims against the Georgia Straight news-paper.

Damage to south-western B.C. buildings, roads, pipelines and other critical infrastruc-ture could hit $75 billion in a major earthquake, according to a new study.

The 345-page re-port commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada modelled a 9.0-magnitude subduc-tion zone earthquake well off the west coast of Vancouver Island and

Washington State.The strongest ground

shaking and damage levels would be on the western side of Vancou-ver Island closest to the epicentre.

But the report proj-ects more overall dam-age in Victoria due to its many older, vulnerable buildings, as well as in the Lower Mainland from moderate shaking because of the sheer number of buildings and infrastructure at risk.

The report says low-lands with risky soil types could see signifi-cant damage from ground liquefaction, causing buildings to set-tle, tilt or slide.

It also cautions ground failure from liq-uefaction can also have a “great impact” on roads, freeways, bridges and buried pipelines.

Some dikes around the Fraser River delta area may also be affect-ed, compromising their ability to prevent flood-

ing if a tsunami wave also arrives at high tide.

The report predicts some roads will be damaged and impass-able, water supply and other buried services will be compromised and drivers should ex-pect many bridges to be temporarily closed, if only for a few hours to check for damage that may be slight in most cases.

Vancouver Interna-tional Airport would likely be cut off by road in the first few days due to the shutdown of ac-cess bridges.

The study predicts a resulting tsunami would cause the greatest dam-age from flooding along the west coast of Van-couver Island, but waves of up to one metre above normal could also reach some Metro Vancouver shorelines.

The report says some residential buildings in west Richmond could experience substantial tsunami damage.

E a r t h q u a k e - t r i g -gered landslides are a high risk along parts of western Vancouver Is-land, it says.

And the findings sug-gest firefighters in Victo-ria and Metro Vancou-ver will battle intense local fires, possibly spreading from block to block.

Those fires may not ignite immediately, but later, as power transmis-sion is restored and electricity is turned back on in damaged areas.

An estimated 17,000 tonnes of organic mate-rial could be diverted from regional landfills with the creation of new composting facilities that could be in opera-tion in as little as four years.

Building one or more composting sites was a key recommendation in the solid waste manage-ment plan adopted in 2011 by the Regional District of Okana-g a n - S i m i l k a m e e n (RDOS).

The plan estimates organic material, such as biosolids, food and yard waste, accounts for 40 per cent of the ap-proximately 66,000 tonnes of trash that go into regional landfills every year.

It also pegs the capi-

tal cost of a compost fa-cility, which is expected to divert 65 per cent of organic material from landfills, at $33 million, although the lead plan-ner stressed that num-ber is “a worst-case sce-nario.”

RDOS solid waste management co-ordi-

nator Cameron Baugh-en said the figure was presented for argu-ment’s sake during pub-lic consultation on the plan and represents the cost of “a very capi-tal-intensive, central-ized facility.”

At this point, the RDOS has identified

nine potential sites for a facility.

Baughen said once a

shortlist is drafted, the RDOS consultant can move on to more de-tailed studies to address such things as cost, in-frastructure require-ments and potential odour concerns.

“Everyone we’ve talked to, odour has been the issue,” he said, adding complex model-ling can be done to pre-dict what smells might travel where, and how they can be minimized.

Odour complaints have plagued a biosol-ids composting facility on the outskirts of Ver-non that was built as a joint effort with Kelow-

na to handle organic matter from the com-munities’ sewage treat-ment plants.

In April, the two mu-nicipalities agreed to spend $425,000 for a new system to make more water available to the plant to help elimi-nate smells.

“It was originally felt through an environ-mental assessment that the technology that was proposed at the time would be sufficient, but as it turns out it was not,” explained Gordon Light, biosolids supervi-sor for the City of Kelow-na.

Now, however, those issues “have been ad-dressed and I believe we have a very well-run fa-cility today,” said Light.

“The benefit is so much better than put-ting (organic waste) in a landfill or burying it and consuming valuable landfill space and creat-ing methane gas,” he said.

The Kelowna-Vernon facility also produces OgoGrow fertilizer, which Light said gener-ates annual revenue of nearly $500,000 that covers about a quarter of the site’s operating costs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Defer to others. They will do an even better job because of this expression of confidence. Guide an important matter that surrounds a superior. You know what you are doing, and it is ob-vious to others. Tonight: A must appearance, though you are likely to enjoy yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You prefer to be rather docile, unless a situation develops that you feel demands a different response. Your creativity comes forward in dealing with a long-term plan. Detach from a critical issue that could trigger you. To-night: Go home and put out the candy. You know the rest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your imagination adds that extra zest to your work and to whatever you touch. You could be irritated beyond your normal limits. How you express those feelings could create more pain than is necessary. Walk in some-one else’s shoes. Tonight: Time for Halloween fun.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Whether you’re putting out some final Halloween decora-tions or you’re just happy to get extra R and R, it makes no dif-ference; others could be touchy at the last minute. If you decide not to participate in an aspect of Halloween, make it OK. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You don’t need to go overboard in order to be noticed. You will do that naturally -- just be yourself. Pressure or a desire for change might cause a profound dissatisfaction or a need for change. The unexpected could throw your plans into chaos. Tonight: Celebrate in your own way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try a different approach to a heartfelt matter. You will be more willing than you have been in the past to let go and see where the chips may fall. You can be controlling at times, and you might be starting to see the uselessness of that behavior. Tonight: Treat yourself well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Try to come to an understanding with someone who has been difficult at best. You could feel challenged by a personal or domestic matter, though you might not be in the mood to discuss the issue. Your nerves could be fried. Indulge yourself. Tonight: Everyone looks to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not be in sync with those around you. Even if you wish you were more playful, you can’t seem to get past your tension and stress. A loved one or a child might surprise you, though your first reaction could be shock. Tonight: If you want to avoid everyone, do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Look to your friends, and make a decision about what would be the best solution for a project. Just because your friends feel OK with something, it does not mean you have to feel comfort-able with it. Say “no” if you can’t go along. Tonight: Get into trick-ing or treating. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. It doesn’t matter

what your reasoning might be regarding an issue, you are ready to move forward with a major change. It might be health-re-lated, or it might be taking a different approach to your life. Tonight: Look at the big picture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will have your mind on other matters -- not on ghosts and goblins. Still, you will go through all the motions, and to many people, you will seem present in the moment. An ex-citing matter could shake up the status quo. Tonight: Get into the spirit of the holiday. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, and you might learn a lot about someone else’s thoughts. You will get much more input, and you’ll gain each other’s respect. It would not be surprising to see both of you get into a brainstorming session in the near future. Tonight: Try to make time for a talk. BORN TODAY Actor Rob Schneider (1963), film director Peter Jackson (1961), journalist Dan Rather (1931)

Dear Annie: My fiance is amazing, sensi-tive and wonderful. The only problem is his sister. When we became engaged, “Jessie” was so jealous, her mother begged us to make her my maid of honor. I did, to keep the peace. I’ve spoken with Jessie a handful of times and don’t particularly like her. She’s 29, gets a monthly allowance from her parents because she lives beyond her means, and threatens to withhold her young son from my fiance and his parents when they won’t give her what she wants. We told Jessie she could help with the wed-ding plans, but then she had a total melt-down and lashed out at my fiance and his mom. We then informed her that she cannot come to the wedding unless she apologizes. This has resulted in my not being allowed near her son. My future mother-in-law is try-ing to force us to invite her, saying, “I prom-ise to keep her under control so she won’t wreck the wedding.” The fact that she needs to say that makes me very nervous. My fiance isn’t close to his sister and is tired of her behavior. I don’t want her at my wedding because she’s been so rude to both of us, but I’d accept her if she apologized. Do you think we should hold out and hope? It is our wedding. Can’t we do what we want? -- The Bride Dear Bride: Well, yes and no. Weddings represent the joining of families and, as such, should not become grudge matches. Demanding an apology from Jessie is an exercise in futility. She would rather create ill will than admit wrongdoing, and not be-ing allowed to attend the wedding will fuel her fire for years to come. She could use some professional counseling. Meanwhile, consider the long-term repercussions of excluding her. And if you decide to forgive her, don’t rely on Jessie’s mother to rein her in. Ask a few friends to keep her in check, or hire someone to discreetly escort her out if she creates a scene. Dear Annie: A number of years ago, I saw an old ad from the 1800s in a book on soap making. The ad said that this particular brand of soap could be used for everything from washing your clothes to cleaning floors and brushing teeth. This apparently was be-fore toothpaste was invented. Is this where the expression “washing your mouth out with soap” came from? -- Grand-ma Dear Grandma: We doubt it. While some folks may have used soap to brush their teeth, it wasn’t necessary. Toothpaste in one form or another has been around since be-fore the Romans. It was supposed to have a pleasant taste, or at least be tolerable. Soap was never meant to be ingested. Some soaps contain ingredients that are harmful to the mouth, throat or stomach lining. Washing one’s mouth out with soap is a specific pun-ishment, usually in response to using pro-fanity or other inappropriate language. We know parents used to do this, although we don’t recommend it. Thanks for providing an offbeat topic. Dear Annie: I read “Hermitage, Penn’s” diatribe about the elderly white-haired man who rudely butted ahead of her at the gro-cery store. Maybe he wasn’t feeling well and had to get out of the store quickly. He’s not going to say, “Excuse me, madam, but I am about to have an accident. May I go ahead of you, please?” I found Hermitage’s reaction to be insensi-tive and downright mean, a common trend in our young people today. -- Judy from Omaha Dear Judy: There is no excuse to jump ahead of someone without at least saying, “Excuse me.” That is simple courtesy, regard-less of age. Dear Readers: Happy Halloween. Please dress your trick-or-treaters in flame-retar-dant costumes that don’t obstruct walking or vision, and be sure to accompany them.

Kristi Pat tonPenticton Western News

Two brothers accused of a bombing that oc-curred in Oliver have been ordered for a psychiatric assessment.

Stephan Wesley Daoust, 19, and Eric Daoust, 23, appeared at the Penticton provincial courthouse on Monday each facing a single count of placing/throwing an explosive to damage property. The pair were ordered detained while a 30-day forensic psy-chiatric assessment is conducted at a Port Co-quitlam hospital to determine if they are not crimi-nally responsible due to a mental disorder.

The alleged incident took place in August at a home on Earle Crescent and the brothers were ar-rested on Thursday following a two-month long in-vestigation by Oliver RCMP and Penticton/South Okanagan Similkameen General Investigation Sec-tion.

“Our findings into both associated matters indi-cate that the violence was targeted towards the young man who resided in the home where the car was damaged. All three knew each other and are Oliver residents. It appears that the matter stemmed from a mutual longstanding dislike for each other. Luckily no one was injured as a result.” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk in a press release.

The younger of the brothers, Stephan, is also charged with break and enter, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose for an alleged incident that took place at the same home in the 600-block of Earle Crescent that was targeted in the explosion.

On Sept. 8 a woman inside the residence called RCMP complaining someone sprayed an irritating substance into her home. RCMP found a canister of bear spray, wrapped in electrical tape, in close prox-imity to the house.

The explosion incident occurred on Aug. 11 and went unreported for a day as residents on Earle Crescent originally believed it to be a lightning strike. One resident who lives besides the home where the explosion went off told the Penticton Western News her mother was jarred awake around 2 a.m. from a loud noise but thought it was thunder.

The following day a resident attended the Oliver RCMP office with a piece of metal shrapnel that caused damage to a homeowners’ garage and a ve-hicle parked nearby.

RCMP officers attended and examined the scene and determined that an improvised (homemade) explosive device had been placed and detonated under a vehicle parked in the residential alleyway between Okanagan Street and Earle Crescent.

No one was injured in the blast however, close examination of the vehicle and a nearby homeown-er’s garage uncovered damage by the blast and fly-ing shrapnel. The metal fragment (18 centimetres in length and five cm in width) was found in the com-plainant’s garage after travelling at a sufficient veloc-ity to go through the outside wall, splintering a two by four stud and coming to rest inside the garage.

Six recent sexual assaults at the University of British Columbia ap-pear to be linked by the same culprit, police said on Tuesday.

“(They) appear to be related and are likely to have been committed by the same suspect,” said Lower Main-land District RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessen (CBC).

The most recent reported attack occurred last Sunday – Oct. 27, 2013 – when a young woman was attacked by Gage Hall residence on Student Union Boulevard, around 1:30 a.m. PST. She was grabbed from behind and able to fend the attacker off.

On the weekend of October 19, two other young women were as-saulted late at night or early in the morning, and the suspect tried to drag one of the victims – a 17-year-old female student – into nearby

woods.Three attacks that first gained

considerable attention occurred in a three-week period, starting in late September. All three women were groped under their skirt and were grabbed from behind.

All three suspects in those cases – which could be the same man, ac-cording to today’s RCMP announce-ment – were described as tall white men with hoodies.

After the attack on October 19, police said they were looking for a Caucasian man in his late 20s to early 30s, with a 6’2 height, thin build, and short hair.

The first reported attack occurred on Sept. 28, 2013, around 2:45 a.m., when a 19-year-old student was grabbed from behind and groped on her genitalia (CTV News). The sus-pect wrapped his arm around her waist and tried to drag her into a garden area.

EDMONTON — A growing population means some Albertans will be dialing a new area code in a few years.

The Canadian Ra-dio-television and Telecommunications Commission says the 825 code may be as-signed to new tele-phone numbers in the province starting in

April 2016.Existing customers

will keep the area codes they have now.

The province’s cur-rent codes are 403, 780 and 587.

But the CRTC says they are expected to run out of telephone num-bers by July 2016.

Ten-digit local dial-ing became mandatory in Alberta four years ago.

HAMILTON, Lee Raymond

January 9, 1993 - October 26, 2013

It is with sad and heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Lee Raymond Hamilton who was killed in an A.T.V. accident in Courtenay, BC on October 26, 2013.

Lee was born in Nanaimo on January 9, 1993. He graduated from Courtenay

High School in June, 2010. He worked in the construction industry. He loved woodwork and had a small business named Lee’s Creations, where he sold lawn furniture, etc. He had a great smile and many friends.

Lee is survived by his mother Kathie, sister Samantha (Steve), step-brother Cole, aunts, uncles and cousins as well as his loving grandparents, Joan & Ray Hamilton in Cranbrook.

A memorial will be held Wednesday, November 5, 2013, in Courtenay.

BARKER, Bill June 2, 1943 -

October 22, 2013

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Bill Barker. Bill was much loved by his family; daughters Heidi and Tracy (Carm), step-daughters, Sherri (Randy) and Ardy (Pete), sisters Linda (Bob), and Noreen. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren,

Karlie, Shaelynn, Taylor, Brenden, Georgia, Jaiden, and Isaac; his niece Tracy, (Jack and Amelie) and nephew Randy (Claudia and Tomas).

Bill was predeceased by his mother Vivian and father Bim.

Bill was born in Edmonton, Alberta, June 2, 1943. Bill lived on the ranch at Ta Ta Creek as a boy; his adult years were spent in Kimberley and Cranbrook. Bill was an excellent horseman but most admired for his ability with heavy equipment. Bill loved to work and was about to get on a grader the day he became ill. Bill had many friends in his life who will no doubt miss his sense of humour and infectious laugh, his family certainly will.

On October 22, 2013, Bill rode his mustang into the sunset – he was so very loved and will be sorely missed. A celebration of his life will be held spring 2014 outdoors in Cranbrook, under the trees and in the fresh air where Billl loved to be. This will give his family and friends the opportunity to celebrate his spirit and heart. A special thank you from his family to all his wonderful friends. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the charity of choice.

Michael Ward Harris 1935 -2013

It is with great sadness that the family of Michael Harris announces his passing with his family at his side following a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Michael left us on Friday, October 25, 2013.

Michael was born in Croydon, England on May 7, 1935 to Alfred William Harris and Lilian Vera Harris.

He received his early education at Whitgift Public School in London and completed two years of service in the Royal Air Force as a radar operator. During the summers and on weekends he worked as a junior clerk with his father at Fortnum and Mason’s Piccadilly Circus in London, UK.

After obtaining employment with a finance company in London, he began planning to immigrate to Canada. In 1957 with a letter of recommendation in his hand from his former employer, he obtained employment in Toronto, Ontario. Very soon thereafter he was transferred to Vancouver and spent the rest of his time working with various finance companies in Vancouver, the West and East Kootenays and Kamloops. He opened the branch of the Bank Of Montreal in 1972 in Invermere and later returned to Cranbrook as the Manager of the Bank Of Montreal until his retirement in 1990.

Michael was a very talented and gifted man. He spent endless hours at his workbench creating toys, miniature houses, RC aircraft and also spent many hours gardening with his wife Dolores. Mike and Dolores loved to travel. They took 13 trips to the UK and Europe, many trips to Hawaii, the western United Sates and various parts of Canada. Michael loved all sports particularly cricket, hockey, soccer and golf.

He was a past president, Paul Harris Fellow and member of the Rotary Club for close to 47 years.

Left to cherish Michael’s memory are his wife of 52 years Dolores; his two sons Steve (Brenda) Harris of Cranbrook and Bill Harris (Ghaile Pocock) of Calgary, Alberta; his grandson Owen Harris of Cranbrook, and granddaughter Julia (Corey) Halford of Airdrie, Alberta; great granddaughter Brooke Halford of Airdrie, Alberta; in England his brother John (Rhona) Harris and sister Judy Cowgill and nephew David (Jen) Harris; his sister-in-law Donna Kennelly of Cranbrook and numerous other nieces, nephews and cousins. Michael was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Lilian Harris and his step-mother Mary Harris.

A memorial service for Michael was held on Wednesday, October 30, 2013 in Cranbrook at Christ Church Anglican.

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

Marcia DunnAssociated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists have found a planet way out in the cosmos that’s close in size and content to Earth — an astronomical first.

But this rocky world is so close to its sun that it’s almost certainly too hot for life.

Astrophysicists reported Wednesday in the jour-nal Nature that the exoplanet Kepler-78b appears to be made of rock and iron, just like Earth. They mea-sured the planet’s mass to determine its density and content. It’s actually a little bigger than Earth and nearly double its mass, or weight.

Kepler-78b is located in the Cygnus constellation hundreds of light-years away. Incredibly, it orbits its sun every 8 1/2 hours, a mystery to astronomers who doubt it could have formed or moved that close to a star. They agree the planet will be sucked up by the sun in a few billion years, so its time remaining, astronomically speaking, is short.

More than 1,000 exoplanets — worlds outside our solar system — have been confirmed so far.

NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, used to discover Kepler-78b, has identified 3,500 more potential can-didates. The telescope lost its precise pointing abili-ty earlier this year, and NASA has given up trying to fix it.

Scientific teams in the United States and Switzer-land used ground observatories to measure Ke-pler-78b.

aSSOciaTED PrESHONOLULU — The federal government says

an eyeless shrimp and 14 other Hawaii creatures and plants have been added to the endangered species list.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the an-chialine pool shrimp is among the most primitive shrimp species in the world. The creatures live in landlocked pools with subterranean connections to the sea.

The other newly listed creature is Drosophila digressa, commonly known as the picture-wing fly.

Among the 13 plants listed is kookoolau. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it traditionally was used to treat infections.

All 15 new listings are native to the Big Island.Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Ken

Foote says Hawaii has more endangered species than any other state.

A listing gives species protections that are de-signed to keep them from extinction.

aSSOciaTED PrESSALISO VIEJO, Calif. — One Southern California

high school has added twerking to its list of dances that are banned for students.

The Orange County Register reports Tuesday that administrators at Aliso Niguel High School decided the rump-busting dance is sexually sug-gestive and should no longer be allowed on cam-pus or at dances.

Twerking now joins “freaking” and “grinding” as prohibited dances at the Orange County school. Those who break the rules could be ineligible for future dances for the remainder of the school year. Parents also will be notified.

No other high schools in the Capistrano Uni-fied School District say they have banned twerk-ing.

Twerking has gained recent popularity among teens thanks to pop star Miley Cyrus, but the dance has been around for a while.

OTTAWA — Hun-dreds of weapons, BlackBerrys, laptops and iPads have gone missing or been stolen or destroyed, according to the federal govern-ment’s annual account-

ing of its property.And the Senate ex-

pense scandal is record-ed in another obscure line item that cites a $315,000 loss involving four unidentified cases “due to claims for living allowance in the Na-

tional Capital Region and-or travel expenses.”

The biggest reported losses are related to tax and employment-insur-ance frauds, amounting to millions of dollars.

The missing money and absent items are outlined in an annual report to Parliament, ta-bled late Wednesday.

The public accounts for 2012-2013 show the government expects to recover all of the im-proper Senate expenses, with $81,000 already paid back by last March.

The list does not in-clude any fraudulent claims discovered since April, and does not cite individual senators or break down the amounts of living or travel expenses improp-erly claimed.

The amount of tax fraud, both income tax and GST, discovered in the last year is estimated at about $250 million, down from more than $300 million last year.

But employment in-surance fraud is up,

reaching about $159 million, or $30 million higher than the year be-fore.

The total number of EI fraud cases hit 113,000 in 2012-13, up 105,000 cases the year before. The govern-ment, which has espe-cially targeted EI fraud, claims it will recover vir-tually all of the missing cash.

The federal govern-ment also says it di-rect-deposited cash by error into individual ac-counts almost 7,500 times, for a total of $3 million, up from the year before. Federal ac-countants expect to write off about half a million dollars of the misdirected cash.

The most common device reported lost or stolen is the BlackBerry, with iPads and laptops also frequently missing.

The number of weapons reported sto-len quadrupled from the year before, to al-most 500, though the accounts do not specify

the types. The Defence Depart-

ment has written off the entire $170,000 value. Another 2,100 unde-scribed weapons were lost, their value also en-tirely written off.

The air force report-ed some $26 million in damages to two of its aircraft, again with no details offered.

Altogether, some $200 million worth of federal property — from desks to boats — is list-ed as stolen, damaged or missing.

The federal govern-ment also paid out more than $700 million in claims against the Crown in 2012-13, in-cluding a $29-million out-of-court settlement cheque from Industry Canada to an unidenti-fied claimant.

Public Works also settled with St. Joseph Print Group Inc. with a $21-million payment, with no details of the nature of the dispute.
