On the bus

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Administration at Rocky Mountain School District No. 6 have been wrestling with a few school bus issues this year — from parents at Sheep Creek upset at the cancellation of a bus route, to parents from TaTa Creek concerned about over crowding.

Now a Kimberley parent is questioning why the Board is contacting parents and asking them to designate whether their child is a courtesy rider or not.

Rochelle Corneliuson says she doesn’t like the term ‘cour-tesy rider’.

“As far as I’m concerned that means your child can be booted off the bus and forced to walk,” she said. “Don’t they have a right to transportation to school?”

Corneliuson says she was surprised to learn that in fact students don’t have that right.

The Board’s transportation policy states that “Where there are sufficient students to justify the service and where road conditions are suitable for school buses, school bus trans-portation may be provided for students who reside within the school district boundary and who live a considerable dis-tance from the nearest school.”

That distance is four kilo-

metres.“Annually, at the beginning

of each school year, parents of students who are not eligible for school bus service and would like their children to

ride a school bus are to re-quest permission in

writing (i.e. email) from the Opera-

tions Supervisor for their child to ride the school bus as a courtesy rider,” says Steve Jackson, Director

of Operations for SD6. “In Kimberley, we have been con-

tacting parents and asking them to do this, be-

cause it is a requirement of Board Policy 3600 and many parents were dropping off or sending their children to bus stops without the appropriate policy process being followed. In these calls we have been taking the time to explain the policy and answer questions. Across our district there are hundreds of courtesy ride re-quests and to manage this across our system we rely on the cooperation of parents.

“Once we receive the cour-tesy ride requests every effort is made to expedite processing, however these requests may not be approved until Septem-ber 30th. Until approval is granted, parents/guardians must provide transportation for their child.”

Corneliuson says that most Kimberley students are within the four K limit, but not all.

“When Blarchmont School was closed we were allowed to choose which school we would send our kids to,” she said.

If you send your child to Marysville even if Lindsay Park is closer, your child is consid-ered a courtesy rider, she says.

That has caused some con-fusion, Jackson agrees.

“In Kimberley there are no identified catchment areas for Marysville and Lindsay Park Elementary schools.

Mine rescue competition officially awarded to Kimberley for 2016 and 2017

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley will be hosting some high profile events in the next few years.

In addition to the 2018 BC 55 Plus Games, which will be hosted jointly by Kimberley/Cranbrook, Kimberley has just been officially informed that they have been chosen to host the Provincial Mine Rescue competitions in 2016 and 2017. The 2016 competition date has been set for June 4.

Coun. Albert Hoglund says it should be a good event and he is pleased to see Kimberley’s mining history acknowl-

edged despite the fact that the Sullivan Mine has not operated since 2001.

Mayor Don McCormick says that Fernie recently held a similar event, which was a success.

However, Kimberley will need to be diligent about finances for the event, he said.

British Columbia’s mining laws re-quire that trained mine rescue person-nel and mine rescue equipment be maintained at all mines. Basic mine rescue training courses are conducted at mining properties across the prov-ince so that miners have an opportuni-

ty to learn the skills mine rescue teams require. Once the basic skills are learned, many hours of training and practice are needed to develop a com-petent mine rescue team that can work together and with other teams to ac-complish rescue objectives in the event of a mine disaster.

It has been suggested that the old Watkins School site would be a good location for the competition as it would be highly visible and accessible for Kimberley residents who wish to watch the competition.

The Baby Goose program held at Blarchmont School had a large turn-out of parents and babies (including a lion, skunk, turtle, beetle and other fuzzy creatures) to celebrate Halloween. This week they learned about First Aid relating to young children.The free drop-in program is held Thursdays from 10:30 until noon.

From Page 1“Our transportation

policy identifies an “eli-gible” bus rider as fol-lows: “A student is con-sidered to be eligible if his or her home address is at least 4.0 km (Kin-dergarten to Gr. 3) or 4.8 km (Gr. 4 to Gr. 12) from the nearest bus stop or the nearest age and/or program appropriate school.” For example, if a family lives 4.4 km away from Lindsay Park Elementary and 5 km away from Marysville the students would be considered “eligible rid-ers” when riding a bus to Lindsay Park Ele-mentary and if the par-ents chose to send their children to Marysville Elementary they would be considered “courtesy

riders” because they are not riding to their near-est age and/or program appropriate school.”

However, Corneliu-son says that parents have no choice because Lindsay Park is at ca-pacity.

Jackson says in that case the policy changes.

“The current situa-tion is further com-pounded by the fact that there are some families who are live closer to Lindsay Park than Marysville, but who could not attend Lind-say Park because the school was at capacity at a particular Grade level. When this occurs the School District con-siders these children to be eligible riders be-cause the nearest school

is not accessible to them.”

Jackson also says that currently, there is room for all primary aged courtesy riders on the current bus routes.

But Corneliuson be-lieves that high school students shouldn’t have to worry about being told there’s no room ei-ther.

“If you live in Lower Blarchmont towards the end of Warren Avenue, that’s a 45 minute walk, in cold weather, lots of hills, and if it’s snowed, sometimes the side-walks aren’t even cleared yet.

“It needs to be a right to ride the bus to go to school.”

For the Bulletin

The Gallery at Cen-tre 64 will be closed from Saturday, Novem-ber 14 to Tuesday, No-vember 17, while a sprinkler system is in-stalled. Providing ev-erything works out as planned, the Gallery will reopen Wednes-day, November 18, when visitors can re-turn to view the current exhibition, Rock, Water & Wood, by Kimberley painter, Judy Winter, which runs until No-vember 21. The other facilities at Centre 64 will remain open during this period.

The City of Kimber-

ley has hired a contrac-tor to install a sprinkler system in the arts cen-tre to meet fire regula-tions. While the centre has operated without sprinklers since it opened in 1976, future plans to install an ele-vator to the upper floor gallery and theatre can-not proceed without this required fire safety system being installed.

Work started on the installation in late Oc-tober with the base-ment receiving atten-tion first and will con-tinue throughout No-vember and into De-cember.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival comes to

Kimberley BC

Kimberley, BC: Join Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook as they host the Wild and Scenic Film Festival on Tour at the McKim Middle School Theatre on Satur-day November 7th at 7:30pm.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festi-val is a collection of films from the annual festival held in Nevada City, CA which is now in its 13th year! Wild & Scenic focuses on films which speak to the environ-mental concerns and celebra-tions of our planet. “Films fea-tured at Wild & Scenic give peo-ple a sense of place,” says Tour Associate Director, Amelia Work-man. “In today’s busy world, it is easy to disconnect from our role in the global ecosystem. When we realize that the change we need in this world begins with us, we start making a difference. Come get inspired!”

The Wild & Scenic Film Festi-val was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) in 2003. The festival’s namesake is in celebration of SYRCL’s land-mark victory to receive “Wild & Scenic” status for 39 miles of the South Yuba River in 1999. The home festival kicks-off the inter-national tour to over 150 commu-nities around the globe, allowing

SYRCL to share their success as an environmental group with other organizations. With the support of National Partners: Pa-tagonia, CLIF Bar, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Orion Magazine, Klean Kanteen, Earthjustice, and Bare-foot Wine & Bubbly, the festival can reach an even larger audi-ence.

Featured at the tour event in Kimberley, are many short films that aim to inspire. These films include Pride of Namibia, Delta Dawn, and The Ridge among oth-ers. Pride of Namibia weaves the story of communities committed to protecting wildlife, of a nation that has enshrined conservation in its constitution, and of the fu-ture of responsible travel. Delta Dawn, created by acclaimed film-

maker Peter McBride, follows a team of river runners travelling the Colorado River as an experi-mental pulse of water is released, bringing the river to reach the sea after nearly two decades. The Ridge follows Danny Macaskill as he rides his mountain bike, an obvious extension of his body, around the Isle of Skye.

The festival is a natural exten-sion of Wildsight’s work to inspire action on behalf of the environ-ment, as it is the organizations goal to work within the commu-nity to encourage sustainable livelihoods and lifestyles based on a conservation ethic. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is a great way for Wildsight to showcase success stories from around the world, and host an evening of in-spiration right here in the Koote-nays.

BC Liberal destruction of documents a deliberate act

Norm macdoNaldMLA Columbia River

Revelstoke

As your MLA, I often receive requests from constituents for access to information, information that you have every right as a citizen to receive. My staff work with people to access information through Freedom of In-formation, and most would be shocked to dis-cover just how difficult, slow, and costly accessing even the most basic infor-mation can be.

Your government has a responsibility to retain relevant documents and to provide access under the Freedom of Informa-tion Act. This is not just a moral requirement, it is actually a legal require-ment.

There are well-estab-lished protocols on what has to be retained. And when it is discovered, as it has been recently, that the BC Liberal government has not retained the re-

quired documents and correspondences, you must understand that it is not a simple mistake. It is a deliberate act.

A report has recently come out on three clear cases where the BC Liber-als broke the law, and, as a result, a government po-litical staff member is now under investigation by the RCMP.

What has become clear is that the Premier’s office, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry responsible for ensuring that Freedom of Information laws are ac-tually followed, all have political staff that routine-ly purge records that they are legally obliged to keep. Whether it is the fact that proper documents are ei-

ther very deliberately not created, or that electronic documents are ‘triple-de-leted’ to permanently de-stroy them, the actions of this government are in blatant disregard of the law.

The documents that we now know were de-stroyed related to serious abuses of government power such as the firing of health researchers, a trav-esty that resulted in a sui-cide of one of the falsely accused researchers. These health researchers were falsely accused for political reasons, likely on the direct orders from the Premier’s office.

This government also destroyed documents re-lated to the government’s lack of response to the Highway of Tears.

We know that it is not just the Premier’s office, or these two ministries, that are engaging in these un-lawful acts. It is far wider than that. This is the cul-ture of this government, and it absolutely cannot be tolerated.

Governments have tremendous power. But governments are not above the law. We must demand that this govern-ment follow the law. I would encourage you to make your thoughts known directly to the Pre-mier at premier@gov.bc.ca.

Many hands make light work. Kimberley Nordic Club had 50 volunteers working on the trails this weekend, spreading wood chips to cover rocky sections. The softer surface creates a bed for the early snow and allows for early grooming and skiing. The volunteers enjoyed soup and refreshments in the lodge just as the first snow flakes fell outside.

“Y ou may deceive all the people part of the time, and part

of the people all the time...”, begins Abraham Lincoln’s fa-mous aphorism about de-mocracy — but in a multi-par-ty democratic system, that is usually enough. In a parlia-mentary system like Turkey’s, 49 per cent of the popular vote gives you a comfortable ma-jority of seats, and so Recep Tayyib Erdogan will rule Tur-key for another four years. If it lasts that long.

There will still be a Turkey of some sort in four years’ time, of course, but it may no longer be a democracy, and it may not even have its present borders. In last Sunday’s vote Erdogan won back the majori-ty he lost in the June election, but the tactics he employed have totally alien-ated an import-ant section of the population.

Kurds make up a fifth of Tur-key’s 78 million people. Most Kurds are pious, socially conservative Sunni Muslims, so they usually voted for Erdogan’s Justice and De-velopment (AK) Party — which consequently won three successive elections (2003, 2007, 2011) with in-creasing majorities.

Then the Kurds stopped voting for Erdogan, which is why he lost last June’s elec-tion. In this month’s election he managed to replace those lost votes with nationalist vot-ers who are frightened of a Kurdish secession and simple souls who just want stability and peace — but he had to start a war to win them over.

Erdogan threw Turkey’s support firmly behind the reb-els when the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011, mainly be-cause as a devout Sunni Mus-lim he detested Bashar al-As-sad’s Alawite-dominated re-

gime. He kept Turkey’s border with Syria open to facilitate the flow of volunteers, weap-ons and money to the Islamist groups fighting Assad, includ-ing the Nusra Front and ISIS

(which even-tually be-came Islamic State).

He even backed Is-lamic State when it at-tacked the

territory that had been liberat-ed by the Kurds of northern Syria. That territory extends along the whole eastern half of Turkey’s border with Syria, and in the end, despite Erdo-gan’s best efforts, the Syrian Kurds managed to repel ISIS’s attacks. But this was the issue that cost Erdogan the support of Turkish Kurds.

His solution was to restart the war against the PKK, the armed separatist movement that is based in the Kurd-ish-speaking northern prov-inces of Iraq. A ceasefire had stopped the fighting between the Turkish government and the PKK for the past four years, but Erdogan now needed a pa-triotic war against wicked Kurdish separatists in order to lure the nationalists and the naive into backing his party.

He duped the United States

into supporting this war by al-lowing US bombers to use Turkish airbases and promis-ing that Turkish planes would start bombing Islamic State too.

(In fact, Turkey has dropped only a few token bombs on IS; the vast majority of its bombs are falling on Kurds.)

The pay-off came on Sun-day, when the votes of Turks who fear Kurdish separatism replaced the Kurdish votes that the AK Party lost last June. The problem is that the elec-tion is now over but the war will continue.

Indeed it will get worse. The Turkish army is already shelling the Syrian Kurds, and warning that it may invade if the Syrian Kurdish proto-state (known as Rojava) tries to push further west and shut down the last border-crossing point that links Turkey to Is-lamic State.

At home, the independent institutions of a normal demo-cratic state have been subvert-ed one after another: the media, the police, and the ju-diciary now generally serve Erdogan. State television, for example, gave 59 hours of cov-erage to Erdogan’s campaign in the past month. All the other parties combined got 6 hours and 28 minutes.

So Erdogan’s AK won the election, but Turkey is no longer a real democracy. And since the half of the population that didn’t vote for Erdogan utterly loathes him, it won’t be a very stable authoritarian state either. In fact, it is probably teetering on the brink of civil war.

The people who loathe Erdogan because he is de-stroying Turkey’s free media, perverting its criminal jus-tice system and robbing the state blind — he and his AK colleagues have been en-thusiastically feathering their nests — will not turn to

violence. The poor will not turn to violence either, even though the economic boom is over and jobs are disap-pearing.

But some of the Turkish Kurds will fight, and they will have the support of the Syrian Kurds just across the border. That will probably draw the Turkish army into invading northern Syria to crush the Kurds there — and once Tur-key is fully involved in the Syr-ian civil war, all of southeast-ern Turkey (where Kurds are the majority) also becomes part of the combat zone.

When Mustafa Kemal Atat-urk rescued a Turkish republic from the wreckage of the Otto-man empire after the First World War, he was determined to make it a European state. It was a fairly oppressive state at first, but over the decades it gradually turned into a dem-ocracy that operated under the rule of law.

That’s over now. It took Er-dogan a dozen years in power to demolish that Euro-pean-style democracy, but the job is done. As one despairing Turk put it recently, Turkey is becoming a Middle Eastern country.

Turkey: Next Stop Civil War?

Letters to the editorthanks to emergency

respondersThe Rocky Mountain Naturalists are

grateful to the dedicated emergency re-sponders who showed extra-ordinary kindness, courtesy and professionalism, when we called 911 Sunday afternoon, October 25, 2015, from a ridge overlooking Cranbrook.

One of our club members had just suf-

fered a massive heart attack and we were trying to resuscitate him. The 911 first aid coach, who walked us through 40 minutes of CPR via cellphone on speaker mode, was so calm and competent in his minute by minute instructions that the group of seniors working on their friend were totally confident in what he was saying and what they were doing. The RCMP member and the two Search and Rescue volunteers, who arrived to interview all 17 of us wit-

nesses and take responsibility for evacuat-ing our friend’s body, were very respectful, organized and efficient.

A final thanks to the STARS helicopter pilot who gave our friend, Peter, the rope swing ride through the sky that Peter, the wildlife biologist, had so often given his beloved mountain sheep.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2015

P remier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of

emails involving sensitive government topics.

A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers sus-pended or fired from drug approval studies.

Most have been paid set-tlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel man-agement blunder in memo-ry. One committed suicide.

We are now into a second indepen-dent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to deter-mine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.

Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whit-marsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subse-quent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.

It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the sub-

stance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.

Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk:

Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minis-ter to the Premier, has no records and

why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?”

Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no docu-ments is false … There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has

conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.”

There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized.

The larger issue is how freedom of in-formation legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to sec-ond-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?

The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the

case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work con-tracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.

There are sound reasons for this. Con-sider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds.

Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, autho-rizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.

One can imagine the agonizing dis-cussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle de-spite widespread habitat protection ef-forts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger.

Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?

No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

Kimberley native Isaac Schacher, pictured with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, has found a new home after a 139-game Western Hockey League career. The 6-foot-4 defenceman joined the Alberta Junior ‘A’ club after being release by the Saskatoon Blades..

Kimberley native Schacher finds new home in Central AlbertaFollowing 139-game Western Hockey League career, defenceman Isaac Schacher is settling in nicely with the AJHL’s Drumheller Dragons

Taylor rocc aAfter a 139-game

Western Hockey League career that took him from Victoria, B.C., to the Land of Living Skies, Kimberley native Isaac Schacher is making one more stop in his final year of junior eligibility.

The 6-foot-4, 214-pound defenceman was an odd man out in Sas-katoon following train-ing camp this fall as the Blades opted to form a 20-year-old contingent featuring left wing Travis Zajac, right wing Connor Gay and defenceman Mitch Wheaton.

Upon being released, Schacher quickly caught on with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), where he’s made his presence felt through 11 games, tallying five goals and eight points.

“The fan support has been unreal, the city is really nice,” Schacher told Nathan Crosby of 99.5 DRUM FM radio back in October. “I just

want to keep building off of it. Hopefully the team keeps building.”

As of Nov. 2, Schacher and the Dragons sit fifth in the AJHL’s eight-team Viterra South Division, having registered a re-cord of 9-9-1 through 19 games.

The Dragons split a pair of weekend games

to end the month of Oc-tober, doubling the Oko-toks Oilers 4-2 Friday night, before falling to the Olds Grizzlys 5-2 on Saturday.

Schacher was busy over the weekend, tally-ing two goals Friday and adding another Satur-day evening.

The Kimberley na-tive isn’t the only player with local ties supplying talent to the Dragons this season.

Former Kootenay Ice for ward Ryan Chynoweth made the move to Drumheller fol-lowing a 218-game WHL career.

In 13 games, Chynoweth has posted 11 goals and 17 points.

The Dragons open the month of November with a trio of home games, hosting the Lloydminster Bobcats (Nov. 4), Calgary Mus-tangs (Nov. 6) and Can-more Eagles (Nov. 7) at the Drumheller Memo-rial Arena this week.

Kimberley Dynamiters run table in OctoberEddie Mountain Division leaders complete undefeated month with victory over Rockies

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

There’s no stopping the Kimberley Dynamit-ers these days.

With a 5-1 victory over the Columbia Val-ley Rockies on Hallow-een night in Invermere, the Nitros extended a season-high winning streak to 12 games and completed an undefeat-ed month of October.

“There are no easy games in this league. Ev-erybody that plays is a good hockey player, so there are no easy games,” said Jerry Bancks, Dyna-miters head coach. “But in terms of the schedule, because we started with six road games, it was probably the easiest month we’d have and I challenged [the players] with trying to run the

table [in October]. “The last couple

years, we’ve gotten be-hind because we didn’t start this way. Then you’re trying to play catch up and it leads down the stretch to you’re trying to overplay players going into the playoffs. It’s critical that you get off to a good start and you can’t ask for anything more than

what we’ve done so far.”The Nitros 12-game

winning streak, which began Saturday, Sept. 26 with a 4-3 road victory over the Revelstoke Griz-zlies, has seen the team firing on all cylinders, outscoring opponents by a combined margin of 50-19 (4.17 goals-for per game to 1.58 goals-against per game).

The Nitros were tri-umphant in 10 games through the month of October, capped with Saturday’s victory over the Rockies.

Forwards Keenan Haase and Sawyer Hunt provided all the neces-sary offense Saturday night, as each tallied in the first period to give the Nitros a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.

On the strength of a 20-save performance from goaltender Tyson Brouwer, Hunt’s first-pe-riod goal stood as the eventual game-winning goal, boosting the Nitros to a KIJHL-best record of 15-1-0-2 (32 points) through the first two months of the season.

“[The Rockies] are a much-improved team,”

Bancks said. “They had just finished beating Revelstoke, Creston and Fernie in their building, so we knew it was going to be a very different team from what we’d seen earlier in the year.”

The Rockies scraped one goal as Luke Bellero-se scored in the second period to make it 2-1. But before the buzzer went to signal the conclusion of 40 minutes, forward Eric Buckley restored the two-goal lead.

Forwards Jared Mar-chi and James Farmer added third-period goals to round out the scoring.

A total of five differ-ent Dynamiters regis-tered multi-point ef-forts, including Haase, (1G, 1A), Buckley (1G, 1A), Marchi (1G, 1A), Marco Campanella (2A) and Jordan Busch (2A).

While the win was worth celebrating, the Dynamiters discovered what life was like with-out captain Jason Rich-ter, who missed his first game due to an up-per-body injury suffered Oct. 27 in Golden.

“Unfortunately and fortunately -- you look at

it both ways -- I thought it was kind of nice that without Jason Richter in the lineup, we were able to play so well,” Bancks said. “Some other players stepped up and assumed bigger roles, more leader-ship and played with more energy.”

Richter joins a bat-tered group of Dynamit-ers in the hospital wing.

Already out indefi-nitely due to shoulder injuries are forward Jesse Wallace and defence-man Tristan Pagura.

Defenceman Zach Morey has been plagued by an upper-body injury, while forward Brodie Buhler -- acquired from the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Oct. 9 -- has yet to suit up as he recovers from a lower-body injury.

According to Bancks, the team is hopeful Buhler will make his debut this weekend, joined by the return of Morey. On the flip, as of Monday, Richter is not expected to be available Friday in Fernie.

“For him to miss a game, he’s got to be pret-ty sore,” Bancks said. “So we’ll see where it goes.”

NEW YORK - The Kansas City Royals won their first World Series crown since 1985, rally-ing in the ninth inning when Eric Hosmer scrambled home to tie it and then breaking away in the 12th to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in Game 5 Sunday night.

The Royals capped their post-season full of comebacks with a dash for the ages, and made up for last year’s near-miss in a Game 7 loss to San Francisco.

Hosmer’s sprint home from third on a grounder finished a two-run burst in the ninth against Matt Harvey and closer Jeurys Familia.

Then in the 12th, pinch-hitter Christian Colon delivered a tie-breaking single in his first appearance of this post-season. Lorenzo Cain added a three-run double

Royals starter Edin-son Volquez threw two-hit ball for six innings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts might conflict with a creative project. You’ll want to slow down until you figure out which voice to listen to. You could get feedback from someone you would prefer not to hear from. Listen before you respond. Tonight: Handle what you must, then let the fun begin. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel as if someone’s demands are out of whack. Rather than react, try to detach and work on seeing the big pic-ture. You might not be hopeful about achieving a heartfelt desire, but you’ll try anyway. To-night: Reveal more of what you feel without getting angry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your hectic pace might not please someone who doesn’t see you clearly. Emotional ex-tremes could come out when dealing with this person. Take your time with a project, as you’ll want it to be as good as you can make it. Tonight: Speak your mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be aware of the costs of continu-ing as you have been. Fatigue could make you more reactive than normal. Verbalize what is going on with you, and accept your limits. Someone at a dis-tance will do whatever he or she can to inspire you. Tonight: Pay bills first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be greeting the day with a big smile. A family mem-ber might try a power play to get what he or she wants. An associate could decide to do something the way he or she wants it to be done. Be ready to take evasive action. Tonight: Surprising news makes its way to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a lot going for you. You have been feeling more fortunate in the past few days. The smart move at this point is to allow others to take the lead. You need to be more observant. A friend’s feelings seem intense and nearly overwhelming. To-night: Make it personal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You know exactly what to do, even if a haze of confusion seems to sift through the air. Reconsider a decision. You might pull a dear friend a lot closer to you. This person has an unpre-dictable quality to his or her be-havior; make it OK to enjoy this. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll need to test out an as-sumption before you work with it. Reach out to an associate with whom you can brainstorm. This person could be particularly challenging when you share what is on your mind. You might be more emotional than you re-alize. Tonight: Take a walk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take a risk that you have been considering. You won’t know the results of this choice until you throw yourself into it. Make sure you can handle the outcome if your plan falls apart. A friend will be emotional yet support-ive. Tonight: Be aware of an au-thority figure’s observations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) One-on-one relating might not evoke the immediate results you

desire. You could decide to ap-proach a situation differently, as what you have been doing isn’t working. Being innovative will keep others on edge, and it also will provide different answers. Tonight: Just be yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.18) Others will make it close to im-possible to complete an import-ant project. You simply might need to ignore the phone or cut a conversation short. However, if a distraction comes along, you could feel as if you have little choice but to say “yes.” Tonight: At a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a dreamy, emotional tone to your interactions right now. You might be having a difficult time staying present in the moment or believing that anything is really important. Let go of whatever is occupying your mind for now. Tonight: Try for an early bedtime. BORN TODAY Singer/actress Lulu (1948), actress Roseanne Barr (1952), comedian Dennis Miller (1953) ***

Dear Annie: I am a 12-year-old who just got my cellphone. My parents are extremely controlling about the limits of my using it. For instance, once I go to bed, I’m not allowed to charge my phone in my room. They said it would make the battery worse and I should charge it for short periods of time throughout the day. I tried a compromise and said I’d charge it when I woke up in the morning and after school, but they assumed that meant I’d use the phone in the morning. But I wouldn’t, and when I said so, they didn’t answer. They also have a limit on how much time I can use my phone -- two hours a day. They think that whenever I’m in my room, I’m using the phone, which I don’t always do. My parents never listen to me when I try to suggest a compromise. What should I do? -- Want My Phone Dear Phone: Try to understand that your phone is not an entitlement. It is a luxury that your parents are allowing you to have. They get to set the rules. They wonder why you care where the phone is at night if you don’t plan to use it. Things like that make them suspicious of your motives. Extra time on your phone and having it in your room are privileges that must be earned incrementally. What you promise isn’t as important as what you do. Your parents will trust you when they know that you will accept and follow their rules. If you show that you are responsible for several months and your parents still won’t grant you additional time, then it is time to ask another adult to help you reach a compromise. Perhaps a grandparent, aunt, uncle or trusted family friend would be able to intervene on your behalf. Dear Annie: Over the years, I’ve been called to the emergency room for family members hurt in an accident or asked to rush to the bedside of a dying friend. Sometimes, it has been necessary to spend the night. I started keeping an old duffel bag in the garage alongside my car to serve as an emergency bag. Any time I had to go to the hospital, I’d grab it. It has been helpful in many instances, and I would recommend that everyone keep such a bag for future needs. Some things that come in handy are: comfortable slippers and socks, sweatpants and a T-shirt to sleep in, a blanket, a neck cushion, a paperback book, a flashlight and a packet of baby wipes. Tucked into the side pockets are two bottles of water, two protein drinks, two protein bars and a bag of trail mix, along with a few dollars for the vending machines. (Sometimes these things also come in handy for the patient.) I go through the bag once a year and replace items such as water and other food as needed. -- Trying to be Prepared in Connecticut Dear Connecticut: Thank you for an excellent suggestion. While most people don’t make frequent trips to the emergency room, the point of such a bag is to have it handy for those rare instances when you need it.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Father, Husband, and Nonno, Dennis Harold Laine. He passed away on October 26, 2015 at the age of 70 in Calgary, AB at the Foothills Hospital surrounded by family. Dennis was born on August 27, 1945 in Whitewood, Saskatchewan to Albert “Bert” and Irene (Callin) Laine and became a little brother to his sister Beverly. Dennis lived in Whitewood until he was 11 years old when his family moved to Cranbrook, BC, where he met and married the love of his life, Adriana (Bertoia) Laine on October 8, 1966. In 1972 they welcomed their daughter Debra into their lives and in 1974 their son David. They later moved their family to Golden and then in 1979 they settled in Invermere. Dennis was a CGA his entire working career and had many wonderful friends in the Valley. Dennis had also been a Volunteer Fireman for 20+ years, a Rotarian and a Free Mason. He loved to go camping at Dunbar Lake in the summer where he loved to fish and was an avid reader. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him. Dennis was predeceased by his Father Albert “Bert” Laine. He is survived by his mother Irene Laine; his wife Adriana; his son David; his daughter Debra (Laine) Twomey; his son-in-law Christian Twomey; his granddaughters Grace and April; his sister Beverly (Jim) Watson; and many nieces and nephews.

May the road rise to meet youMay the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your faceAnd the rains fall soft upon your fields

Until we meet againMay God hold you in the palm of His hand.

A funeral service for Dennis will be held at the Christ Church Trinity in Invermere on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 1:00 pm. His interment will follow at the Windermere Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Foothills Hospital.

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

MULTI-MEDIA JOURNALIST WANTED Do you like being at at the centre of it all?

Where communities are built. Where stories are told. From the heartwarming to the heartwrenching.

The Campbell River Mirror is looking for someone to join our award-winning team and tell these stories. We’re looking for a reporter with experience in print, digital and photo journalism.

Not just any reporter, though. One that’s creative, courageous and resourceful. You can weather a storm of controversy but also feel for a family in distress.

You’re comfortable with the tools of multi-media reporting: a digital recorder, a DSLR camera, video editing software, social media, the Internet, desktop publishing and, yes, a pen and a notepad! But the best tool you have is your ability to get to the heart of a story.

Working in Campbell River means living the coveted Vancouver Island lifestyle. Drive to work along beautiful coastal vistas backed by snowcapped mountains. Finish your exhilarating day at work by mountain biking in tall, green forests, canoeing sparkling lakes, kayaking deep, blue seas, or fi shing world class rivers.

Live in a modern, friendly community where people care about each other and where environment is not just the adjacent wildernesses of Strathcona Park, the northern Gulf Islands and the wild West Coast, it’s also clean neighbourhoods, community parks, and refreshing greenways. Campbell River is a place to live the good life with topnotch athletic facilities and a lively cultural scene. For the growing family we have inventive playgrounds for the kids, fi rst rate schools, expansive cultural organizations offering music, dance, theatre, art and lots and lots of sports.

If you want to join a team of like-minded journalists plying their trade in a little corner of paradise, send your resume, portfolio and references to:

The editor, Campbell River Mirror104 - 250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9

Email: editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Of course, we offer a salary commensurate with experience and a competitive benefi t package.

The Campbell River Mirror is part of Black Press community news media, an independent and international media group with more than 190 community, daily and urban publications, 14 press facilities and more than 160 websites in B.C., Alberta, Washington, Yukon, Hawaii and Ohio.
