NDP takes tight Kootenay-Columbia raceBARRY COULTER, ARNE

PETRYSHEN AND TREVOR CRAWLEYIn the end, vote-split-

ting on the left was a moot point.

High drama kept vot-ers in Kootenay-Colum-bia awake into the small hours, as Conservative David Wilks and New Democrat Wayne Stetski traded the lead down to the last handful of votes, in what was one of the tightest contests in the country.

On an historic elec-tion night, Monday, Oc-tober 19, 2015, the riding saw massive voter turn-out — more than 73 per cent.

With all polls report-ing, according to Elec-tions Canada online up-dates, Kootenay-Colum-bia could have a new Member of Parliament. According to prelimi-nary results, Stetski fin-ished on top by only 285 votes — 23,529 to Wilks’ 23,244.

Liberal candidate Don Johnston got 12,315, Green Party candidate Bill Green 4,115. 63,232 out of 85,653 eligible vot-ers cast ballots.

In David Wilks’ cam-paign office in Cran-brook the mood was sombre after a remark-ably tense evening.

“I was cautiously op-timistic going into this and knew that it was probably going to come down to the last couple polls and it did,” Wilks said. “Congratulations to Mr. Stetski and I look for-ward to him working well with the constituen-cy of the new riding of Kootenay Columbia.

“It’s been an honour for me to be in Ottawa for the last four and a half years.”

Wilks said he thought that the NDP ran a good campaign and that was what made it such a

close race. He noted that Leadnow — an indepen-dent advocacy organiza-tion — targeted this rid-ing very heavily.

“That probably played a significant role,” he noted.

Wilks said he had no regrets through the cam-paign.

“I worked a very hard campaign, I think all four of us worked a really hard campaign,” he said. “It is what it is, and you move on.”

Wilks said some of the comments Stetski during the campaign were incorrect, but didn’t have an impact.

“I needed to make sure the people knew what the proper story was and I did that, and I don’t think that that was something that hurt me at all,” he said.

Wilks added the vot-ing turnout was pretty impressive.

Stetski apparently benefitted from the an-ti-Stephen Harper senti-ment that led to a shock-ing Liberal majority gov-ernment in Canada, a new Prime Minister (see related story, Page 5).

It was absolutely neck and neck as the polls re-ported and the vote counts came in, with both candidates trading the lead. High drama in-deed, on an historic night that saw the advent of Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister while Stephen Harper’s resig-nation was announced the same night.

It is apparent the an-ti-Harper sentiment was alive and well in Koote-nay-Columbia, and for the first time in almost 20 years, a Conservative victory in this riding was not a foregone conclu-sion, where the Conser-vative vote totally more than all other candi-dates’ votes combined.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

NOTICE OF PERMISSIVE TAX EXEMPTION BYLAW

Barry CoulterWhile vote-splitting

on the left may have been a factor in the in-credibly tight finish in Kootenay-Columbia, for the Green Party it was the opposite — the stra-tegic voting that left Greens with only a slightly higher vote tally than the previous elec-tion.

“Absolutely, strategic voting beat us up very, very badly,” said Green Party candidate Bill Green on election night, Monday, Oct. 19. “So many people say the Green Party is the party they’d like to vote for, and they’ll vote for us next time. Unfortunate-ly that doesn’t work. We have to build, and we can’t build if we’re fight-ing that all the time.”

Even so, the Green Party ran a tight, fo-cussed campaign in Kootenay-Columbia, finishing with just over 4,000 votes (compared to 3,395 in 2011).

“I thought the whole election campaign in Kootenay-Columbia went very well, for our team and for myself,” Green said. “I’m incred-ibly proud of the work our campaign team did — we’ve got about eight people that worked more than full-time hours on it on a volun-teer basis, and we had about 70 volunteers working very hard, and everybody worked smart.”

Still, Green expressed his disappointment with the results. “We’re actually not far ahead of where we were in 2011 with a much weaker campaign. I’m also dis-appointed that it ap-pears there’s not going to be any Greens joining Elizabeth May in Parlia-ment, something we were all desperately hoping for. We though it was important to having a good government and having a few good peo-ple bringing to Parlia-ment what Elizabeth does, with her co-opera-tive leadership style.

“I really wanted to see that in Parliament, and it’s not going to be as strong as it might have been.”

Green also said there is hope that some form

of proportional repre-sentation will be brought in under a new government. The Greens, the Liberals and the NDP all discussed this possibility during the campaign.

“Certainly [Liberal candidate] Don John-ston spoke very strongly of the need to build a new electoral system around proportional representation — and I’m really hoping that with push from the NDP and commitments the Liberal Party has made, and continued pushing from Elizabeth May, we can get to proportional representation.”

There are signs the Green Party is on an up-ward trajectory in the riding.

“What was really im-pressive for me in this election campaign was how incredibly fairly the Green Party was treated in communities, on the doorsteps, and by the media,” Green said. “The media did an amazing job of provid-ing full, respectful and fair coverage to all of the candidates, including my candidacy and the Green Party. We don’t see that played out the same way on the nation-al stage. I think that’s a reflection on the people of Kootenay-Columbia.

“I hope we can spread that to the higher levels.”

It may be a bit early, but one can still look ahead to 2019, or when-ever the next federal election is called.

“I’ll be working to-wards the goal of having a strong Green Party campaign,” Green said. “I’ve had two good shots at it, I have a job I love that I’m going back to, but we will work to make the Green Party stronger and stronger in this riding.”

of the “Will the Conservative Party form the next government?”

This week’s poll: “Are you happy with the results of the Federal Election?”

YES: 56% NO: 44%

Down at the Manual Training Centre in Cranbrook, where the NDP were hosting a party, the winning can-didate was relatively subdued.

“We are, I guess I’ll use the word successful by two handfuls of votes,” Stetski said. “It’s too close to call so no-body should be declar-ing victory at this point. There may well be a ju-dicial recount.”

A judicial recount looks unlikely. A judicial recount is a new tabula-tion of the votes cast for an electoral district, pre-sided over by a judge of a superior court of the province or territory.

A judicial recount must take place if the

leading candidates in an electoral district receive the same number of votes after the valida-tion of the results, or if they are separated by less than one one-thou-sandth of the total votes cast. In this case, the dif-ference 63 votes.

“What an interesting evening it’s been,” Stets-ki said. “I brought two speeches tonight, and I’m not going to give ei-ther one of them.

“It really is too close to call and neither Mr. Wilks or I should be giv-ing a victory speech at this point.”

Stetski thanked all the volunteers around Kootenay-Columbia. “For Audrey and I to drive into a community

and have people waiting for us, has just been such a wonderful expe-rience.

“For me, I was the regional manager of the Ministry of Environ-ment for the Kootenays, with offices in Cran-brook, Nelson, Revel-stoke and Invermere, and so for me, running in this election has been like going home. It’s been absolutely been a wonderful adventure.”

Stetski thanked the other candidates as well. “Mr. Johnston, ran for the Liberals, I think the figures were up to 19 or 20 per cent. He ran a very good campaign, a good candidate.

“Bill Green, excellent human being, great can-didate and Mr. Wilks ac-

tually did very well as well. We had 12 debates in 12 communities. He didn’t come to all of them, but he came to most of them.

“Collectively, after many debates, I had people come up to me and say what a great group of candidates we had running in Koote-nay-Columbia.

Stetski said politics is gone as of Monday night. “My job is to represent each constituent of Koo-tenay Columbia equally and that is what I will do, I will be your strong voice in Ottawa, I will provide you with excel-lent public service and I

Kootenay-Columbia has NDP MPwill work really hard with both the NDP cau-cus and Justin Trudeau and the Liberals to build a better Canada.”

“Thank you again, let’s hope the 20 vote

lead holds, and I might have to give you a differ-ent speech in a little while.

“Assuming we are in Ottawa after this, we are all in Ottawa together.

“If everything holds, then I am looking for-ward to seeing Justin in Ottawa after Oct. 19 and absolutely congratulate him on a great cam-paign.”

Owned and operated by BC Hydro, the Elko Dam and Generating Station is located near the community of Elko, 30 kilometres west of Fernie.

The Elk River is considered one of the best kayaking and rafting rivers in the East Kootenay. People come from across North America and the world to recreate on the river, however, they may still be uninformed of the extreme danger of being on the river between the Elko Dam and the Powerhouse.

To address these safety concerns, we’ve designed and installed a warning system at Elko Dam to inform people in the canyon of impending spillway gate changes. The project includes the installation of sirens, strobe lights, improved safety fencing, and additional warning signs between the dam and the powerhouse. This warning system doesn’t inform river users downstream of the powerhouse.

Safety is our number one priority. We’ve installed this system to raise awareness of river hazards associated with dam operations, to improve safety and to ensure that people in the canyon are aware of sudden changes in water levels.

Please note that the land on both sides of the Elk River from the Elko Dam to the Elko Powerhouse is BC Hydro property. For public safety reasons, access to this section of the river across BC Hydro property isn’t permitted.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about the Elko Warning System, please contact Sally MacDonald, Community Relations, at 250 489 6841 or sally.macdonald@bchydro.com.

Will JohnsonNelson Star

Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate Don Johnston spent Monday evening in the base-ment of the Hume Hotel in Nelson, surrounded by a smattering of sup-porters, watching televi-sion while results rolled in from across the coun-try. The moment Justin Trudeau was an-nounced as the next prime minister of Cana-da, the Nelson native pumped his fists in the air and cheered: “Line up, pot’s legal!”

“I’m feeling abso-lutely blown away and happy,” a tearful John-ston told the Star. “I got my Canada back. When I did my nomination speech in this very hotel the title was ‘I want my Canada back’ and I’m so happy to have my Canada back. The possi-bilities are limitless and for the last nine years we’ve done nothing but limit them. It’s so nice to be free of that weight.”

He said he’s excited Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been defeat-ed.

“Justin [Trudeau] ran an amazing campaign, he’s put together an amazing team, and he’s definitely ready. That question is dead and gone. To see this? This is so good for Canada and so exciting. We’ve all heard there’s no way a Liberal can win in this riding, but our first hope and goal tonight was to have a Liberal govern-ment, and now we know we’re going to have that.”

Johnston’s campaign manager, Brian May, was surprised by the re-sults.

“I didn’t expect this. I don’t trust the polls, but people are obviously starting to hear our pos-itive message. Justin stayed on message the whole way through the campaign, he never went negative, and we ran things the same way

here.”Addressing John-

ston’s pot proclamation, May said: “Our policy is legalization, the NDP’s is decriminalization. There’s a big difference. Legalization means put-ting controls on it, put-ting controls on the kids and controls on the gangs and taking con-trol of the situation.”

He said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s dis-missive comment about Trudeau’s marijua-na-smoking past during a debate was “imma-ture” and showed how out of touch the NDP leader is with young vot-ers. He also criticized the local NDP cam-paign, which he called “a campaign of fear.”

“They said ‘I’m the only one who can beat Harper,’ and that just wasn’t true.”

May said there were

ation vice president Reggie Goldsbury, who celebrated with his wife Xyiah, told the Star transparency was the most important issue for him in this election, and said seeing Trudeau elected gives him hope.

“As a young person — I’m 25 — I want to know what my govern-ment is responsible for. There’s been this shroud of secrecy and we’ve had no say, the people of Canada, and that’s why I’m happy to be supporting the Liberal Party.”

Former Nelson Mayor Dave Elliot was also there to support Johnston, and said the Liberals are gathering political strength in the Kootenays. “I have a sense we’ve come a long way and Nelson will start to open their eyes to the Liberals. Most people are pretty un-happy with the Conser-vatives, and I think the main thrust of this elec-tion was ‘anyone but Harper’.”

May said he believes the election’s results show a “generational shift.”

“This means a lot of 24-year-olds, 35-year-olds, they got out and made a vote. They got committed, and if they got committed this time it means they’re going to be committed next time. Trudeau shows that generational change. Here’s a 42-year-old winning the election with a great team be-hind him.”

Johnston feels proud.“We’re proud of the

campaign we ran and we’re proud of the way we did it.”

Liberal candidate celebrates national victory

plenty of disenfran-chised Conservative voters elsewhere in the riding who would never

vote for Green or NDP — a fact he feels some overlooked.

OTTAWA - Just watch him.

A Trudeau is headed back to 24 Sussex Drive, completing the first fa-ther-son dynasty in Canada’s federal gov-ernment history, and vanquishing th e Con-servative leader who came to politics hoping to remake the Trudeau vision of Canada.

Justin Trudeau will become Canada’s 23rd prime minister after his party steamrolled to a stunning majority vic-tory Monday night - the culmination of the lon-gest and most expen-sive general election in modern times, and one of the most bitter.

“You can appeal to the better angels of our nature and you can win while doing it,” a hoarse Trudeau told a deliri-ous Liberal crowd in Montreal after invoking the “sunny ways” of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a Liber-al prime minister from the dawn of a previous century.

“I hope it is an inspi-ration to like-minded peoples to step up and pitch in, to get involved in the public life of this country and to know that a positive, optimis-tic, hopeful vision of public life isn’t a naive dream, but can be a powerful force for change.”

The Liberal party, which appeared poised to claim 184 seats in the newly expanded 338-seat House of Com-mons, becomes the first ever to vault directly from third party status to government. Even the Liberals’ internal pollster, who foresaw a majority, hadn’t imag-ined a total so high.

And Trudeau, 43, re-turns to his childhood home, where he was the first-born of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who served as prime minis-ter for almost 16 years before retiring in 1984.

Trudeau faced more than two years of Con-servative attack ads be-fore defeating Harper, including a barrage of “just not ready” ads so ubiquitous that school-age children could re-cite them.

Notwithstanding his appeal to Canadians’ “better angels,” the new prime minister-elect gave a lengthy denunci-

Trudeau turfs Harper Conservatives from office, Liberals earn majority

ation of what he called the politics of division and fear, including a de-fence of veiled Muslim women who became an unlikely wedge issue during the campaign.

“Canadians have spoken,” Trudeau said.

“You want a govern-ment with a vision and an agenda for this coun-try that is positive and ambitious and hopeful. Well, my friends, I promise you tonight that I will lead that gov-ernment … I will be that prime minister.”

During the October crisis of 1970, Pierre Trudeau famously told an inquiring reporter “Just watch me,” when asked how far he would go in limiting civil liber-ties to combat separat-ist terrorists. The elder Trudeau went on to shape much of the modern Canadian state that Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper came to power in 2006 in part to re-make.

With the magnitude of the Conservative party loss still sinking in, the Conservative leader - who called the extraordinarily long, 78-day election on Aug. 2 after almost 10 years in power - is stepping down as party leader, according to a state-ment from party presi-dent John Walsh.

“The prime minister indicated that he will continue to sit as a member of Parliament and asks that a process to both select an inter-im leader and initiate the leadership selection process in our party begin immediately,” says the Walsh letter.

Harper did not an-nounce his resignation in a concession speech to party faithful in Cal-gary, stating only that the “disappointment you also feel is my re-sponsibility and mine alone.”

But he offered gra-cious congratulations to his younger opponent.

“While tonight’s re-sult is certainly not the one we had hoped for, the people are never wrong,” said the prime minister, adding he had called Trudeau and “as-sured him of my full co-operation during the process of transition in the coming days.”

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who’d aspired to lead Canada’s first NDP federal govern-ment, instead lost the party’s hard-won 2011 grip on official Opposi-tion status. That role will fall to the Conserva-tives.

Mulcair, however, managed to hold on to his Montreal seat de-spite a tough Liberal challenge.

Green party Leader Elizabeth May was also re-elected on Vancou-ver Island, while Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe went down to defeat.

The New Democrats were decimated, drop-ping to 42 seats after en-tering the election with 95. Mulcair had a tough fight just hanging on to his own Montreal rid-ing.

The shocking Liberal onslaught opened on the East Coast, where Liberals swept all 32 At-lantic Canada seats, be-fore rolling into Quebec

and Ontario and Mani-toba.

With the polls simul-taneously closing from the Quebec-New Bruns-wick border all the way to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the scale of the Liberal charge became clear as the ballot counting commenced: The Lib-erals finished just shy of 40 per cent of the popu-lar vote and knocked off Conservative and NDP heavyweights across the country.

Trudeau romped to victory in his gritty Montreal riding of Pap-ineau as the Liberals re-stored their Quebec for-tunes to help anchor the surprising victory.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Immigration Minister Chris Alexan-der, Fisheries Minister Gail Shea, Veterans Minister Julian Fantino and Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Val-court were among the Conservative cabinet ministers rejected by voters.

NDP stars including deputy leader Megan Leslie and foreign af-fairs critic Paul Dewar also fell to Liberal chal-lengers. Olivia Chow - her late husband, Jack Layton, led the NDP’s so-called “orange crush” in 2011 - suc-cumbed to Liberal jug-gernaut Adam Vaughan in downtown Toronto.

“I congratulated Mr. Trudeau on his excep-tional achievement both for him and his party,” Mulcair said in a concession speech in Montreal.

“In this campaign, Mr. Trudeau made am-

bitious commitments to Canadians and Canadi-ans will have high ex-pectations for their next Parliament.”

Harper hoped to be-come the first prime minister since Laurier in 1908 to win four con-secutive mandates. However with all oppo-sition parties vowing not to work with him after Monday’s election, it was apparent that only a very strong Con-servative minority or a Tory majority would keep Harper on as prime minister.

It was never even close.

For the 2015 elec-tion, there was no lon-ger a blackout on trans-mitting voting results while polls were still open in other parts of the country - a ban that had become impossible to enforce in the age of the Internet. The change of government was evident before the polls even closed in B.C.

The Conservatives held 159 seats in the 308-seat House of Com-mons, the NDP had 95 and the Liberals held just 36, with another 18 seats either vacant, held by Independents or shared between the Green party (two seats) and the Bloc Quebecois and a splinter group.

Due to population growth, 30 new seats were added this elec-tion, including 15 in Ontario, six each for Al-berta and British Co-lumbia and three more for Quebec.

Some 3.6 million Ca-nadians cast ballots during the four-day ad-vance polling period on the Thanksgiving long weekend - an increase of 71 per cent over the 2011 election, when only three days of ad-vance polls were held.

That increased turn-out, however, did not appear to carry into the main event, despite long lines at polling sta-tions in many parts of the country. Just 61.4 per cent of eligible elec-tors cast a ballot in 2011, up marginally from the 58.8 per cent in 2008 - the lowest ever in a fed-eral election.

Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau speaks to supporters in his Quebec rid-ing Monday night.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2015

As the dust settles from Monday’s feder-al election, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again.

The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free trade election, by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. But things didn’t go as planned at the talks in Maui, and Canada was among the players that walked away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership table at that time.

Then came five days of round-the-clock negotiations in Atlanta, with the U.S. push-ing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to normalize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. And the TPP came together at the end of September.

Canada and B.C. essentially got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultry and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lumber sales.

The 200-kg gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election campaign, and the Kim Campbell rule was demonstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text of

the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed their pitchforks, counting their blessings, and their guaranteed compensation.

The NDP was forced to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But it’s getting lonely for them as

the rest of the world moves on.

Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on “extreme poverty,” which it defines as an income of less than $1.90 U.S. a day. And 2015 is the first year

when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this global poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012.

It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running shoe and cell phone factories in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those countries shows steep decline since 1990. Trade and technology are lifting up the poorest of the world.

For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic fu-ture awaits.

The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media, and informa-tion technology? Do we want to?

The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s depen-dency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which ex-pired on Oct. 1.

I’m told by federal and provincial offi-cials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics.

After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest soft-wood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsi-dized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our gov-ernment general revenue.

Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year.

Tom Boland PhoTo/norfolk admirals

Cranbrook native Ben Betker, pictured during ECHL pre-season action Oct. 10, made his professional hockey regular-season debut this past weekend.

Betker, a sixth-round pick (158th overall) of the Edmonton Oilers at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, debuted with the Norfolk Admirals -- ECHL affiliate of the Oilers -- on Oct. 16. The 21-year-old previously played three seasons with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League (2012 through 2015).

The Admirals opened the season by splitting a weekend series with the Wheeling Nailers, falling 3-0 Friday before scoring a 4-2 win Saturday. Betker dressed for both games, recording no points.

Next up, Betker and the Admirals visit the Florida Everblades on Wednesday.

Dynamiters score pair of wins over RocketsTaylor rocc a

The Kimberley Dyna-miters continued to pile up the victories in KIJHL action this past week-end, grounding the Golden Rockets in back-to-back outings, includ-ing a 5-4 overtime victo-ry Friday in Kimberley and a 5-2 decision Satur-day in Golden.

While offense came from the usual suspects, it was an unlikely candi-date sparking the fuse Friday and chipping in Saturday.

He may not wear No. 65 on the back of his sweater.

And he may not be from Sweden.

But 20-year-old Kim-berley Dynamiters de-fenceman Justin Meier led his team by doing his best impersonation of Erik Karlsson, Norris T r o p h y - w i n n i n g blue-liner for the NHL’s Ottawa Senators.

“He has a tendency to maybe get a little car-ried away with the ag-gressive part of the game and we’re trying to encourage him to use his skills and be more of an offensive-type play-er,” said head coach Jerry Bancks of Meier following Friday’s win.

“Before the third pe-riod, I said, ‘You’ve got to play. No penalties. We’ve got to come back and win this game.’ He’s got lots of potential.”

Meier, a second-year Dynamiter from Taber, Alta., listened to the wise words from his coach.

The Nitros forced overtime by erasing a two-goal Rockets lead in the third period before Meier made his impact early in the extra period.

“I saw [Austyn] Moser going down the side and the middle was kind of open,” Meier said Friday, recounting his

game-winner. “There was a guy there, but I just followed Jerry’s advice and broke hard to the middle. I just drove the net. The rest is history.”

History indeed. Meier deposited the puck past Rockets goaltender Brody Nelson, extending the Dynamiters winning streak to seven games.

Saturday night, Meier contributed a goal and an assist, boosting his season totals to four goals and 10 points through 14 games.

A win is a win, but Friday’s victory wasn’t an easy one for the Dy-namiters as they were forced to erase a pair of two-goal deficits.

The Nitros got off to another slow start Satur-day after coach Bancks questioned his team’s preparation leading up to the weekend.

“We had a terrible practice [Thursday] and

it showed [Friday],” Bancks said. “We were fortunate to get two points and dug deep and showed some good tenacity at the end.

“Our preparation during the week wasn’t as good as it needed to be. I told them, I like doing practices. I’d rath-er do practices than games because a game should be a celebration of all the hard work you did during the week. Then you go out and you play.”

Saturday, the Rockets again built an two-goal edge before the Nitros score five unanswered to claim an eighth consec-utive victory.

Speedster Sawyer Hunt registered the game-winning goal mid-way through the third period, while Jared Mar-chi put up three helpers.

Between the pipes, former Dynamiters

goaltender Brody Nel-son earned both starts for the Rockets, serving as a steadying presence in the blue paint.

Goaltender Tyson Brouwer earned both decisions, despite only starting Saturday.

The native of Leth-bridge, Alta., came on in relief of Mitch Traichev-ich Friday, helping backstop the home team to a come-from-behind victory. Satur-day, the 5-foot-11 puck-stopper earned his

league-leading ninth win of the campaign.

The Dynamiters (11-1-0-2, 24 points) next ac-tion comes Saturday night when they host the 100 Mile House Wran-glers (8-3-0-1, 17) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

A gruelling eastern road trip didn’t allow for as much practice time as Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce might have liked.

Upon returning to Cranbrook, Pierce and the Ice have played a mid-week Wednesday game and after a pair of weekend games face a Tuesday tilt with the Re-gina Pats.

The quick turn-around between outings hasn’t left much time for a young team that has much to work on.

“It’s been really hard, I’m not going to lie,” Pierce said. “We have hardly had a practice in what seems like three weeks. When you have so many details to work on, it’s tough. But that’s where we have to take the lessons from each game and apply them. Not just shrug it off and move on to the next day. We’ve got to make sure we’re getting better.”

Of particular note is the struggling power play for the Ice.

The man advantage has been not exactly ad-vantageous for the Ice to this point in the season.

Converting at a rate

of 6.5 per cent, the Ice power play is 22nd in the 22-team WHL.

“At times, maybe we’re forcing things a little too much,” Pierce said of the power play. “I think we can be a little more selective with our shots, but then we have other nights where we don’t get a shot on net because we’re passing it around too much. It’s a fine line.”

Perhaps Tuesday is the night the Ice power play gets going as the Pats roll into Cranbrook with a struggling penal-ty kill that has only been successful 66.7 per cent of the times it has been called upon.

“We need to get ready and follow the game plan,” said goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin. “If we don’t pass our prob-lems on to the guy be-hind us or the guy be-side us, we’ve been suc-cessful. Right now, we’re causing our own kind of problems in our own end and on the ice sur-face altogether.

“You’ve got to under-stand what you’ve got to do to be successful with-in your role and I think we should be okay.”

Hoflin has had very

little trouble finding success within his role.

The 20-year-old net-minder has been a steady presence be-tween the pipes for the Ice, battling to the bitter end in a 1-0 loss to the Prince Albert Raiders Saturday and putting up a 34-save shutout per-formance last Wednes-day with the Moose Jaw Warriors in Cranbrook.

The native of Spruce Grove, Alta., has made 98 saves over his past three games, good for a .939 save percentage.

In 2014-15, the Ice opened the season 3-8-0-0. In 2015-16, they’re off to a 2-9-0-0 start.

“Last year, we got a

couple players back that helped us,” Hoflin said. “But this year we’re mov-ing forward with the group that we have and we’re just going to have to learn to play 60 min-utes and win hockey games.”

Puck drops between the Ice and Pats at 7 p.m. on ‘2-for-1 Tuesday’ at Western Financial Place.

Notes: The Ice are ex-pected to be without D Tyler King (knee, indefi-nite), D Cale Fleury (upper body, one to two weeks), RW Max Patter-son (upper body, day to day) and RW Jaedon De-scheneau (upper body, indefinite) when the Pats visit on Tuesday...

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll shake up the status quo and cause someone to become upset. Know that this, too, will pass. The results are very much in the ballpark of what you had projected would happen. A conversation with someone will add a fresh perspective. Tonight: Enjoy whomever is around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be facing quite a bit of volatility in the daytime. As a result, you will need to come to terms with the existing situa-tion. A higher-up is likely to give you feedback. You know when you have had enough, so don’t be afraid to speak up. Tonight: Till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Continue dealing with people directly, as you do better in one-on-one discussions. You could be overwhelmed by everything you hear from a friend or loved one. This person seems to want some distance. Use this time to evaluate and think. Tonight: Opt for the unusual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, as you might not have any other choice. It is as if people are running in and out the door telling you their plans. Maintain a sense of hu-mor, and you’ll experience less tension. Be willing to break patterns and routines. Tonight: Follow your heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be overwhelmed by all the requests you are receiv-ing. You have a lot to do, and not enough time to do it. You could be jolted by news from some-one afar. Don’t sell yourself short. Postpone a conversation until later in the day. Tonight: Catch up with friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your senses of direction and creativity merge once again. You might surprise some friends who seem to have pigeonholed you. If you get a strange reac-tion here and there, try not to worry. Curb frivolous spending, and you’ll be happy you did. Tonight: Meet up with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might feel as if you are all

over the place because of your latest interactions. Understand that you are likely to hear a lot of conflicting information. The unexpected hits when a loved one or dear friend reacts in a shocking way. Tonight: Add some spice to your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Conversations will reveal others’ natural resistance, especially someone in your daily life. Your instincts might not help you at present, because they come from your perspective. Be will-ing to break patterns, and opt to head down a new path. Tonight: Reach out to a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel as if you need to have different concerns from those around you. You might want to ask more questions and come to terms with a change-able situation. Use caution with your finances and spending. To-night: Fun doesn’t need to leave your wallet empty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your effectiveness will be chal-lenged by someone you look up to. Know that this person simply

wants to present a different perspective. The unexpected continues to run through your personal life. Take a step back, and don’t worry so much. To-night: Whatever pleases you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Maintain a low-key profile during the day. You have a tendency to do the unexpected and shake up the status quo. You won’t even have to work on it -- it will just happen. A long-distance call will prove to be enlightening. Tonight: Take a power nap, then decide. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t avoid a meeting, even if you would prefer not to be present. You will realize how important it is soon enough. Network and extend your im-mediate circle. Don’t lose sight of a goal. Have a talk with someone on a one-on-one lev-el. Tonight: Make it early. BORN TODAY Musician Tom Petty (1950), rap-per Snoop Dogg (1971), actor John Krasinski (1979) ***

Dear Annie: My family is very dysfunctional because of my mother’s poor parenting and her history of playing favorites. I maintain minimal contact with my siblings. One of my sisters is very controlling and has always manipulated my mother to get what she wants. She’s my mother’s “golden child.” A number of years ago, this sister took all of the old family photos from my mother’s home. Mom says she only borrowed them. Knowing my sister, I was concerned that the family would never see those pictures again. I recently decided to ask my sister to let me have the pictures so I could go through them, make some enlargements and copies, and write down some names and dates. My adult children also have expressed interest in having access to the pictures, as they have never seen them and would like to know about their family’s history. My sister lives four hours away, and I offered to pick them up. Well, my request has started World War III. My mother and sister are furious that I have asked to take the pictures to go through them. They cannot give me a reason I can’t have access to the photos but consider me the bad guy in this scenario. I could back down and let my sister have her way, but I would like to have that piece of my family history to pass on to my children. Ideally, all of the siblings would have some of the originals, but my sister never learned to share. Should I continue my quest for these photographs, even knowing I will be treated with contempt by my mother and sister? Or should I just let it go? -- Living in Dysfunctional Family Land Dear Living: There may be another way to get the pictures. Your sister seems controlling and possessive, so she is unlikely to hand over the photographs. Instead, as nicely and sweetly as possible, ask whether you can go through them in her home. Discuss scanning the ones you want into her computer and emailing them. Or you could offer to pay her to make copies. Bring your mother along so she can see that you are being reasonable and flexible. If Sis says no and your mother gets angry, you will be no worse off. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Ohio,” who wondered why prospective employers never get back to her after job interviews. I would suggest that after the interview, she send a thank-you letter expressing something she liked about the job and explaining how she’s looking forward to working for that company. I learned about that when I attended a community college. It helps. One employer was so impressed that he kept the thank-you note in my file. -- B.T. Dear B.T.: We like this idea. It can only enhance your chances of learning whether you got the job or not. It also doesn’t hurt to make a follow-up phone call or send a polite email if you haven’t heard back within a week of the interview.

Brent leaves behind: Marlene his wife of 35 years, son Aaron (Karling), daughter Allie (Ryan), and four grandchildren; Ayla, Kadence and Penelope Laidlaw, and Dax Borgstrom. He will also be missed by his brothers John, Elliot and Barry. Born and raised in Nelson BC, Brent was the youngest son of Bob and Mona Laidlaw. He later moved to Cranbrook where he met his wife Marlene and they married in 1980. He studied at the University of Victoria before beginning his career in the lumber industry.Brent was loving, wise, and generous. He valued his family. A devoted father, he took great joy in coaching his children’s sports teams, and he helped foster many children’s love of sports through decades of coaching, and mentorship. Although he and his brothers were separated by distance they always remained close, exemplified by the adventures on their annual fishing trip. His other passions included reading, puzzles, camping, and exploring new places. Brent was loved by many and will be sadly missed. A memorial service will be held 1:00 pm, Saturday, October 24th at MacPhersons in Cranbrook.

Laidlaw, Brent May 29, 1954 - October 9, 2015

With heavy hearts, full of love, the family of Brent Laidlaw announces his passing.Brent was a beloved husband, father, grand-father, brother, and coach.

R e v. Ym e W o e n s d R e g t

Congratulatioins to all who have been in-volved in reaching the milestone of the 40th anniversary season of the Symphony of the Kootenays. For four de-cades, we have been able to sustain an artis-tic and musical excel-lence in Cranbrook, which remains the smallest community in Canada to host a pro-fessional symphony or-chestra. It is one more matter of pride for us all.

The first concert of this anniversary season was simply sensational. It opened with the Jubi-lee Overture by Mal-colm Forsyth, a noted Canadian composer and teacher from Ed-monton. Maestro Jeff Faragher described the effect Forsyth had on his own life as one of his teachers. The Over-ture began with a fan-fare which featured an expanded brass sec-tion, and came to a rousing and energetic conclusion.

The second half of the concert featured Mozart’s 41st and final symphony, the “Jupi-ter”. Like all of Mozart’s music, it was tuneful and delightful. The or-chestra played in a re-fined way which brought Mozart’s hu-mour and playfulness to the surface.

But the highlight of the concert was the magnificent Violin Concerto by Johannes Brahms. In his intro-duction, Maestro Fara-gher told us that this concerto is a rich and profound work. Unlike most other concertos, this concerto is a dia-logue between two equal partners, the vio-lin and the orchestra—and so it proved to be.

Violinist Natasha Hall strode onto the stage in a floor–length red gown. After an ex-tended orchestral in-troduction, from Hall’s first notes we knew we were in for a treat. She has a beautiful, singing tone. Even more im-pressive, she is an amazing musician, coaxing not only the sweetest tones from her violin, but also strong percussive chords with equal authority. She commanded the stage with her sense of pres-ence, drawing the audi-

An Anniversary Celebration Indeed!

ence along on a jour-ney through the musi-cal imagination of Brahms. The orchestra matched her intensity, becoming a strong con-versation partner in this concerto.

All in all, it was a miraculous perfor-mance.

The heartwarming

part of this is that Ms. Hall grew up in Nelson and was a former stu-dent of concertmaster Wendy Herbison. She played in the Sympho-ny before moving away to study further, and now lives and works in England.

Here we see one of the strong benefits to

our community of this Symphony. Through-out its history, the Sym-phony has participated in an active educational outreach. Music direc-tors and performers have brought classical music to the classroom. The other part of this educational mandate is met through including

student performers as part of the orchestra, giving young people an experience they would not otherwise have had.

The next concert is on December 5th, and will feature student musicians as well as the choirs from Mount Baker and Selkirk Schools. Who knows …

perhaps one of these young people will re-turn in a decade as so-loist with the orchestra!

Bravo, Symphony of the Kootenays. Bravo to the Board, all volun-teers, and all sponsors. Forty years of excep-tional music making in Cranbrook continues this season.
