Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett has been busy this summer work-ing on the B.C. govern-ment’s Core Review.

Bennett, who is the Minister Responsible for the Core Review, as well as the Minister of Energy and Mines, sent a letter to each govern-ment minister on Tues-day with instructions on the next step of the Core Review.

“The focus at this stage of the process is that we want them to come in and talk to the committee about the ministry’s mandate and

Four and a half decades, 26 albums and a persona that completely and con-

troversially changed the look of rock concerts have made Alice Cooper one of the most promi-nent rock acts in the world.

And that rock icon is prom-ising Cranbrook audiences the highest energy show they’ve seen in a while. Since the early 1970s, when his shows created controversy and scandal with their focus on horror, the ma-cabre and elements designed to shock, an Alice Cooper con-cert has become one of the hot-test tickets on the international touring circuit.

Cooper spoke to the Daily Townsman from Arizona on a searing hot day there, and cold rainy day in Cranbrook.

“It’s a ritual,” he said. “An Alice Cooper concert is going to be something that’s almost traditional now. They want the guillotine, they get the guillo-tine. They want Alice in a strait-jacket — absolutely.”

Alice Cooper is bringing his “Raise the Dead” tour to West-ern Financial Place in Cran-brook on November 13. And the Godfather of Shock Rock is enthusiastic about what he and his band are presenting.

“The show is very hard rock,” Cooper said. “It’s in three sections. It starts out being re-ally glam Alice, then it goes to nightmare Alice. We do a little section in the show called ‘Raise the Dead,’ where it’s re-ally about all my dead drunk friends.”

Master of the nightmareAlice Cooper talks about his upcoming Cranbrook show, the Hollywood Vampires,

Jim Morrison, Satan, life as the dark outsider, the ‘70s, and the best band he’s ever had

A recent Union of B.C. Municipalities res-olution calls on the pro-vincial government to increase municipal election terms to four years, from three.

The move is meant to bring the provincial and municipal elections in-line.

In Cranbrook, mayor and council took the op-portunity to weigh in on

the subject. Mayor Wayne Stetski

said he was conscious of the financial savings when he weighed the option.

“I voted in favour as it reduces the cost – for every 12-year period there would be only three municipal elec-tions instead of four,” Stetski said.

Townsman sTaffCranbrook and Dis-

trict Arts Council cele-brated International Day of Peace 2013 in style, with their project pinwheels for peace.

Visitors to the gallery could drop in and make a pinwheel of their own design for free, during gallery opening hours on Saturday, Sept. 21.

“I’d never heard of this day before and was looking for ways to get young families involved with free activities at the arts council, and this seemed like a great way to start,” CDAC adminis-trator Helen Duckworth said.

“I’d found the idea for the activity via the pinwheels for peace website, and thought it was a novel and fun way to make a statement about peace whilst get-ting people’s creative juices flowing.”

The CDAC saw lots of smiling faces getting crafty with their cre-ations throughout the day, with everyone put-ting their own ‘spin’ on their pinwheel. Visitors were allowed to take their pinwheels away with them, but every participant donated their pinwheel to the CDAC peace pot, result-ing in a beautiful pin-wheel bouquet.

Finished pinwheels were later taken for dis-play at Idlewild Peace Park for the Internation-al Day of Peace celebra-tions (see related story, Page 30).

submiT TedResidents and visi-

tors are advised to con-tinue to exercise caution and common sense this fall, as the fall deer mat-ing period begins.

That is the message from the City of Cran-brook. In the weeks leading up to the rut (into November and De-cember) bucks increase their displays of domi-nance and indirect threats.

Dominant bucks typ-ically circle rivals with deliberate steps; back arched, head low and tail flicking. Bucks can also display dominance by thrashing the bushes with their antlers.

“We are into a transi-tion period, where some does with fawns remain wary and potentially ag-gressive toward humans with dogs,” says Mayor Wayne Stetski. “Now we could also see an in-crease in aggressive ac-tivity from the local urban buck population.

“Residents are re-minded to please give deer plenty of space to move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer; find another route.”

Any acts of deer ag-gression where public safety is at risk should be reported. To report an incident to the Conser-vation Officer Service, please call 1-877-952-7277. To report an inci-dent to the City of Cran-brook, please call 250-426-4211 or email [email protected].

“We will start to get a sense of whether they are living up to the ex-pectations and goals in their mandate. We will also in some cases get a sense of whether they think the mandate is still relevant and is the most important thing for that ministry or Crown agen-cy to be doing.”

Bennett has been tasked with finding $50 million in savings within government through the Core Review, but he says the process is more about creating more ef-ficient ministries and Crown agencies.

“As important as finding the $50 million is – because I’m obligat-ed to do that – it is of lesser importance than finding ways to do things smarter,” said Bennett.

“It seems like every-one, not just the media but even the public, thinks this is all a dollars and cents process, and it isn’t. That’s not what Premier Clark intended this to be. Yes, I’m look-ing for ways for minis-tries and Crowns to spend less money,” he said. “(But) it’s not just a cost-cutting exercise. That’s actually of lesser importance than find-ing ways to do things smarter.

“What we are doing here is we are saying, okay, stop. Everybody just stop for a moment and take a look at what you’re doing.

“I think when we just take a pause and take a look at things, we are going to find lots of things to improve.”

Still, he needs to find that $50 million in sav-ings before the end of 2013.

“So we are looking for some low-hanging fruit right now. I’m not going to go into any de-tail but we have our eye on a few things that will enable us to find those savings,” said Bennett.

The Core Review will include targeted indus-try and stakeholder con-sultations. The commit-tee’s recommendations will be made before the end of the 2013-2014 fis-cal year, and the process will wrap up before the end of 2014.

Mixed teams from Grades 4, 5 and 6 from TM Roberts, Highlands and Gordon Terrace Elementaries participated in the Paarlauf run at TM Roberts under cold, wet conditions. The race involved nine runners from each team sprinting a short distance in a progressive relay race. Despite the miser-able weather all participants are to be congratulated for their fine efforts and sportsmanship.

“All other levels of government have four-year terms, and it gives municipal officials more time to imple-ment their election platforms and deliver on their promises.”

Coun. Sharon Cross said that the union has been debating the question for years, de-feating the four-year option each time.

“The arguments for three-year terms versus four-year terms are equally compelling,” Cross said. “I support the four-year election term as it would save taxpayer money, and provide for a timeframe that reflects provincial and federal elections, as well as most other prov-inces.”

But not everyone was as optimistic about the four-year option.

Coun. Gerry Warner said he was surprised to see the motion pass so handily.

“Terms of two years or less are too little and four years is too much,” Warner said. “I think three years is ideal be-cause it gives a council-lor enough time to learn the job and accomplish something while giving the voter a reasonably quick chance to vote

the councillor out of of-fice, if it’s felt the coun-cillor is not doing a good job.”

Coun. Diana J. Scott said that though the change is only a year, that year makes a big difference when you’re committing yourself.

“On the face of it, four years would be better to accomplish your goals as a council,” Scott said. “However, I feel it may be a deter-rent to people consid-ering running. Four years is a huge commit-ment to make. A lot can happen in people’s per-sonal lives in that time: circumstances can change, jobs, moves, in-

crease in family mem-bers, etc. Three years is a little bit more palat-able for people consid-ering lending their time on behalf of the city.”

Scott felt that the three-year system has worked thus far.

“There are usually some veterans around the table, along with new folks, so that lends a consistency from council to council,” she said.

Coun. Angus Davis noted that up until the late ‘80s, municipal elections were required every two years.

“That I thought was

City councillors ponder four-year termstoo short,” Davis said. “Then they went to three-year terms. I think that three years is just great. It gives the public a good amount of time to get a feeling for what their councillors are like. If they’re good then they can re-elect them. If

they’re not what they wanted them to be then they have three years to prove their worth or someone else will be elected.”

Davis said that he felt, as a councillor, if he was thinking four years, he’d be thinking more about

himself than the com-munity.

“Three years is a good sensible term of of-fice,” he said.

Councillors Denise Pallesen and Bob Whetham were not available for comment as of press time.

The Plot Thickens

Barry CoulterThe first week in Oc-

tober is designated Na-tional Breastfeeding

Week, and Cranbrook is joining communities across the country to promote the benefits of

breastfeeding for babies, mothers and communi-ties.

Several public events are scheduled to mark the occasion, including the annual Breastfeed-ing Challenge, set Satur-day, Oct. 5, at the farm-ers’ market.

“We’re trying to pro-mote the benefits of breastfeeding not just for moms and babies, but for the community,” said Public Health Nurse Pam Smith, who is orga-nizing the event along with Daleen Bybee, a lactation consultant in private practice.

“The hope is that Cranbrook would be a really friendly breast-feeding place,” Smith

exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months with the introduction of iron rich table foods at that time. In Cranbrook, approximately 27 per cent of mothers contin-ue to breastfeed after six months.

Smith and Bylee hope to see these rates increase.

“Breastfeeding is beautiful and normal,” Bylee said. “It isn’t al-ways perceived as such. By hosting events during breastfeeding week we strive to support breast-feeding moms, inform

pregnant moms and promote breastfeeding to the general public.

The Breastfeeding Challenge is a world-wide event that occurs in the fall when Canada celebrates World Breast-feeding Week. The goal is to count every child breastfeeding at 11 a.m. local time at every site registered. The Chal-lenge is a public event, and as a result has en-couraged community discussion about issues related to breastfeeding. It has provided a focus for health promotion, the importance of breastfeeding, and the key role breastfeeding plays in the health of a community. This will take place on October 5 at the farmers’ market at 10:45 a.m. with official latch on at 11 a.m.

“Last year we had 16 moms and 17 babies at the challenge,” Bybee said. “We are really hop-ing for at least double that this year. We are planning for 50.”

Other events set for Saturday include door prizes, goodie bags for breastfeeding moms and an educational ba-by-wearing fashion show, “plus a few more surprises,” Bybee said. Local sponsors include Interior Health, Over The Rainbow Family Services, Bumble Tree, Stephanie Moore Pho-tography, Petra Natural-ly and Scentsy (Deanna Byman).

Organizers have also sent out a breastfeeding logo for local businesses to place in their window, informing the public that that business is a breastfeeding friendly place.

Organizers want to up local breastfeeding ratesOct. 1-7 is National Breastfeeding Week; Cranbrook highlight is annual breastfeeding challenge, at Farmers Market Oct. 5

said. “When people get behind it, moms feel supported and encour-aged to do it.”

Many mothers don’t breastfeed for as long as they would like to be-cause they may experi-ence breastfeeding diffi-culties, negative atti-tudes, lack of support or information. Smith said active support is needed from families, friends, health care providers, and communities for mothers to sustain breastfeeding to one year and beyond.

Smith said most fam-ilies in Cranbrook, like in the rest of Canada, choose to breastfeed. “Unfortunately by six months, most mothers have stopped breast-feeding.”

She said women and

their infants don’t reap all of the long-term health benefits of ex-tended breastfeeding.

Some of these bene-fits for the baby include decreased risk of obesi-ty, diabetes, cancer, den-tal problems, Crohn’s disease, ear infections for infants less than 12 months, and gastro-enteritis.

Some of the benefits for moms include de-creased risk of osteopo-rosis, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer.

Benefits for the fami-ly include the fact that the cost of breastfeeding per month is free, whereas the monthly cost of formula can be hundreds of dollars.

Cooper’s “Dead Drunk Friends” — his drinking buddies from yesteryear — just hap-pen to be among the most influential names in rock.

“They’re four guys that I used to drink with who are all gone now — John Lennon , Jimi Hen-drix, Jim Morrison (lead singer of the Doors) and Keith Moon (drummer for the Who).

“We had a drinking club called the Holly-wood Vampires. We drank every night at a place called the Rain-bow, and it was literally last man standing kind of thing.

“But now, I watched all these guys go. I’ve never done a covers album before. So I said to my producer, ‘Why don’t we do a covers album but let’s direct it towards the Hollywood Vampires?’”

The proposed covers album has morphed into a four-song tribute to his late friends — a song from each of Hen-drix, the Beatles, the Doors and the Who.

“It really makes it fun that not just is it about them, but the fact that I actually really used to drink with these guys,” Cooper said.

“They were my big brothers. I was their lit-tle brother.”

Cooper spoke at some length about Jim Morrison. Morrison, now considered an im-portant poet, was a leg-endary stage performer who revolutionized the interaction between au-dience and artist through his tumultuous career with The Doors. He died at age 27, of a heart attack likely caused by extreme alco-hol abuse.

“The funny thing was that you couldn’t talk him out of it,” Cooper said. “All he ever talked about, or sang about, was the other side. ‘This is the End,’ ‘Break on Through’ (famous Doors’ songs) … When you think about it, he was so obsessed with death in one way or an-other.

“But he was great on stage, a great poet. He was fun to be with. But he was always predict-ing his own death. And

when his death came about, nobody was sur-prised. None of us sat back and said, ‘What a shock.’ We were sur-prised that he got to 27 years old.

“We (the Alice Coo-per band) had the privi-lege of opening for The Doors,” Cooper contin-ued. “It wasn’t one of those deals where we would do our show and get on the bus and go. We would do our show and then stand on the stage and watch every night. Because every night was a different show. You never knew what Jim was going to do. He never did any song the same way twice.”

Cooper had his own struggles with alcho-lism, but has been clean and sober for decades. But it seems he looks back at his famous drinking club with nos-talgia.

“It was great, and we did have a lot of fun,” he said. “And it was mind-less fun. When you’re in your 20s, and you’re liv-ing on beer, basically … I look back and say those were really the good old days.”

Death, the macabre and the shadow side of humanity have always been touchstone themes of Cooper’s

songwriting, albums and stage performance. His most recent album — his 26th (“Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” a sort of sequel to his 1975 album of that name) and his ongoing “Raise the Dead” tour both con-front death, look it in the face, comment on its before and afters.

“I think Alice has al-ways been interested in that — things like life and death, God and the devil, good and evil, sin-ners, saints,” Cooper said. “There’s a very Christian sort of attitude about it.

“I grew up in a Chris-tian home,” he said. “I was what you could call the prodigal son. My dad was a pastor, my grandfather was a pas-tor. I grew up in Christi-anity, went as far away as I could, and then came back. So I do write about the devil. I write about Satan, I write about God. But I write about Satan in much more of a warning.

“It’s one of those things where I’m saying, ‘Be careful who you in-vite in. Be careful of what doors you open.’ Because the devil’s best trick is to make you think he doesn’t exist.

“I write a lot of songs that say not only does he exist, but he is very ac-

tive in trying to get ahold of you.”

Alice Cooper’s perso-na over the four decades has served as a dark mirror of humanity, in which we see the things we avoid thinking that we are.

“There’s a catharsis there too,” he said. “I al-ways realized one thing about the character of Alice was that is he is not the mainstream, he is the lunatic fringe. Alice was never going to be about Crosby, Stills and Nash, or Jackson Browne. I was always the one who collected those kids who didn’t fit

in. There were tons of those kids out there — the kids that didn’t fit in related with Alice. So I was sort of the dark out-sider.

“But I think what happened was that peo-ple finally started pick-ing up on the sense of humour. You’re going to be the villain and the dark outsider, have fun with it. Don’t be this character that’s just doom and gloom. I’ve always thought the vil-lain was the character that had the greatest lines, and probably had the best sense of hu-mour. So people started finding the sense of hu-mour in Alice Cooper, and it relieved them a little bit, that you could be an outsider and still be funny.

The original Alice Cooper band played for years before breaking into the international mainstream in the early 1970s, with a string of hits like “I’m 18,” “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” When he began his solo career (taking the Alice Cooper name with him), he pioneered the musical recurring night-mare which almost sin-gle-handedly created a new musical genre, and from which he contin-

ues to draw inspiration. He agrees with the sug-gestion that the early 1970s have never been given enough credit as a period of great musical creativity, compared with, say, the late 1960s.

“Think of all the ‘70s bands that took rock and roll and stretched it and turned it into an art-form,” he said. “I love the ‘60s stuff. But if you really think of the ‘60s, it was really three-minute happy songs. And then you go to the ‘70s and all of a sudden here comes all these bands and stretched it into some-thing new. So I think the ‘70s may have been the most creative time in rock and roll, when you think of Bowie, when you think of Roxy Music, T-Rex, Frank Zappa and the Mothers. And we (the Alice Cooper Band) contributed in our way.”

Cooper’s view of the evolution of rock music since that period is less kind.

“Rock music is ane-mic right now,” he said. “How many rock bands are there, actually? There’s the Foo Fighters, there’s Jack White, there’s Green Day — bands like Chicken Foot. But the majority of rock bands today are just anemic. They want to be more folk, or they

want to be more intro-spective — no image, let’s just get out there and write these songs that are sensitive.

“Whereas rock music is Guns N Roses, Aero-smith — really arrogant, snotty rock and roll. I think we need more of that. I really like Billy Talent (a Canadian me-lodic punk rock band from Ontario). I’ve al-ways thought Billy Tal-ent was one of the really unsung rock and roll bands.”

Alice Cooper’s posi-tive enthusiasm returns with mention of the band he’s touring with, and bringing to Cran-brook.

“Best band I’ve ever worked with,” he said. “Ryan Roxie (guitar) has worked with me for quite a long time. He’s just a pure rock and roll guitar player showman. Chuck Garric on bass and me. Glen Sobel is one of the best drum-mers of all time. This guy is Mister Showbiz. He does things with the drums that make people go, ‘What are you doing?’ Tommy Hen-drickson (guitar) was co-producer with Bob Ezrin on the last album.

“And then I got Ori-anthi. Orianthi is our 27-year-old female Aus-tralian guitar player, and she can play Hendrix like Hendrix. She is a monster guitar player. She looks like a model and she plays like Jimi Hendrix.

“You put that band together and there’s just no stopping them. Every night they’re 100 per cent.”

Cooper’s wife, Sheryl Goddard, is also in the show. “She was the orig-inal ballerina and played about nine dif-ferent parts in the ‘Wel-come to My Nightmare’ show,” Cooper said. “Then my daughter took over, and now Sheryl is back in the show as the demented ‘Day of the Dead’ nurse, and she just kills it. Every night she puts me in the strait-jacket — the audience loves it.

“It’s going to be the highest energy show you see all year.”

PAGE 6 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2013

September 2013 may be referred to as the month of the grizzly in Kim-berley.

With two young juvenile griz-zlies wandering through town for

over a week before one came to a very un-fortunate end and the other was relocated, another grizzly taking down an elk and forcing a caution to all hikers in the Lois Creek area, and also reports of a sow and cub on the ski hill, it has been a grizzly time in Kimberley.

Kimberley is bear coun-try. September is typically bear month as bears, usually black bears, move in to feast on fruit and other attrac-tants as they prepare for a long winter’s sleep. In fact, black bear sightings in recent days have been numerous in Kimberley, though they perhaps get a little lost when there is also news of a grizzly. Most resi-dents are very knowledgeable about the possibility of bears at this time of year and try to behave in a ‘bear aware’ manner.

But I don’t recall ever hearing about so many grizzlies in and around town. To me it seems unusual.

I put the question to the folks at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations and was told that:

“In terms of population, grizzly bear populations grow slowly, so even if the population were rising, it would not be noticeable anecdotally in a single year. It is

likely a localized event.“Bears (grizzly and black

alike) usually enter inter-face areas at this time more often when natural food sources are scarce. Howev-er, 2013 was a good berry year, and so a scarcity of food would not likely be the

cause of increased bear sightings.“The number one reason bears come

into conflict with people is because of food sources (garbage, unpicked fruit, etc.). Communities are urged to be ‘Bear Aware’ and not provide bears a ready food source. Once bears become habituated to getting food from human areas, they become a danger to the public, and often there is no choice but to euthanize them. Not being diligent in putting away food sources is the single largest reason that bears have to be put down, hence the expression: ‘A fed

bear is a dead bear.’”Good advice. But it doesn’t really an-

swer the question of why we are seeing and hearing about so many grizzlies in and around Kimberley. The Ministry says it’s likely a ‘localized event’. But why?

Are the grizzlies always there and we just don’t see them? One theory I have heard is that elk are moving into the re-claimed Sullivan Mine lands and when elk arrive, grizzlies follow. Sounds as good as any other theory.

I am at a loss to explain the number of grizzly sightings in recent weeks, so I turn to you, readers.

Can you remember another time when grizzly sightings in town were so common? Was there another year like this in the past? Do you think the grizzly population is increasing around Kimberley?

Letters to the editorMeals on Wheels

The “Meals on Wheels” program has been in place to deliver nutritious and hot supper meals to our elderly citizens who need help because of disability or illness. The seniors pay $6.25 per meal and get meals three times per week.

There are two routes in Cranbrook and we usually have between 12 to 18 meals to deliver. I have been a volunteer driver for over six years, while most other drivers have served for between 10 and 20 years. Sometimes I am the only person these people see that day. In the two or three minutes I have with them, I brighten their day and they brighten mine.

On Friday, Sept. 21, I had to give my six clients, all of whom I consider friends, news that the program was transitioning to a new program called “Dinners at Home” effective Oct. 15. “Dinners at Home” will provide a choice of 21 frozen dinners that have to be preordered in case lots of eight or 16 meals. I checked and no one’s freezer is large enough to store eight meals if there is anything else in the freezer.

Of the six people who I presently deliver to, three live in their own homes and three live in apartments. Four are blind and would not be able to read the 18-page doc-ument they received telling them of the changeover to “Dinners at Home”. Anoth-er has memory loss from a brain injury. All except one are over 80 years old. None of them have a vehicle to get their dinners from the Green Home. If they do remem-ber to take the meal out to defrost it they still have to be able to set the oven tem-perature and manipulate the hot oven racks to get their supper out. I had a friend years ago whose mother had to be admit-ted to a seniors facility due to severely

burning herself in the oven or with a kettle.Our local co-ordinator for Cranbrook

and Kimberley was not asked for any input into this decision and found out about it a day before the clients and drivers.

A month ago the styrofoam containers which are used to keep the entrees and soup hot and the salad and juice cold for the delivery from the hospital to the cli-ents’ homes were replaced with new con-tainers – another sign that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing! Earlier this year the government was tout-ing a program to keep seniors in their own homes longer.

I am appalled at Interior Health, East Kootenay Regional Hospital Food Services Department, and the Dr. F. W. Green Home for their collective lack of vision in making this cost saving decision. The only money saved in Cranbrook will be $60 per week ($10 per trip for gas and wear and tear multiplied by six volunteers). I would glad-ly give up my stipend but I truly think a better decision would be to fire the bu-reaucrat(s) who came up with this ridicu-lous plan. Now that would result in a sub-stantial saving!

PavingThe taxpayers of Cranbrook wonder

how city management can spend $250,000 on paving the road to the spray irrigation pumphouse when we have city streets not being repaired and maintained.

The road to the pumphouse was a good gravel road, easy to grade, and has served its purpose for over 30 years. The amount of traffic per day is minimal.

We have potholes galore and sunken valve boxes that leave the driving public vulnerable to expensive mechanical re-pairs. I know we have a huge infrastructure problem which cannot be easily solved because of the great expense, but we have to start somewhere. $250,000, plus looking at cost savings in every department, would go a long way towards reasonable mainte-nance — or at least filling potholes.

KCt ChangesWe would like to take this opportunity

to welcome Nick Johansson to Key City Theatre. He joined KCT at the beginning of September, as our new marketing coordi-nator.

On another note, Leslie Cupidio, our administrator/office manager for the past 15 years, has decided it is time to leave Key City Theatre. Throughout the years, she has worked with several managing direc-tors, technicians and staff, as well as all the user groups/artists/performers who have graced our stage. Her knowledge about our member/subscribers is truly amazing and it will be hard to fill her shoes in that de-partment.

We thank you for all your hard work and dedication throughout the years. The board of directors of Key City Theatre Soci-ety and theatre staff wish you well in this next chapter of your life.

The Kootenay Ice acquired Ryan Chynoweth in a trade with the Tri-City Americans.

Ice acquire younger Chynoweth in trade

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Jeff Chynoweth knew a few eyebrows would be raised when he pulled the trigger to ac-quire his son, Ryan Chynoweth, from the Tri-City Americans on Wednesday.

However, the Koote-nay Ice GM offered a simple reason for the deal.

“If I didn’t think he could help our hockey club, I wouldn’t have made the trade,” Chynoweth said.

In exchange for

Chynoweth, Kootenay sent a fifth-round draft pick in the 2014 or 2015 WHL Bantam Draft to the Americans.

For his part, the trade came as a bit of a shock to the younger Chynoweth.

“It’s a different feel-ing, for sure,” said Ryan Chynoweth. “I didn’t see it coming, but I’m excited to come back and I’m excited to play, I think it’s going to be fun to play for the team I grew up watching.”

Despite a win and three losses, head coach Steve Kamps was able to get a good look at his volleyball team last weekend at an exhi-bition tournament in Red Deer.

The College of the Rockies men’s Ava-lanche team clashed on the court in the Chal-lenge Cup, a event that pitted the Pacwest (B.C.) and ACAC (Al-

berta Colleges Athletic Conference) against each other.

It was a great way to throw his players into the fire and try a few new things before the regular season starts, said Kamps.

“We were only one-and-three, but it’s exhi-bition and we’re look-ing at different things and the results don’t really matter, we just wanted to see where we were at as a team and

individuals,” said Kamps.

The first match was against their hosts, the Red Deer Kings, the sil-ver medalists at last year’s nationals, with a lineup that featured five returnees from that sea-son. The Avs lost in straight sets at 25-17, 25-15, and 25-13.

However, the team rebounded the next match, beating the SAIT Trojans in four sets, which helped restore

some confidence for the Avs, Kamps added. Set scores were 25-20, 25-21, 21-25, 25-20.

Following that match, the Avs took on the Medicine Hat Col-lege Rattlers and fell in straight sets (25-16, 25-18, 25-23) after utilizing a different lineup and trying some different things on the court.

The final match was a marathon two-and-a-half hours on the court against the Briercrest Clippers, which was de-cided when the Avs dropped the tie-break-ing fifth set.

Briercrest is hosting nationals this year, and the squad features a lot of fourth and fifth year athletes, which was a good test for his Avs, said Kamps.

“We were com-posed, we had leads and Briercrest really

crept back there,” Kamps said. “They’re a patient team, an experi-enced team, but we didn’t panic. We closed out every set that we did have a lead in, we made some adjust-ments as we went throughout the match—it could’ve gone either way in the fifth set.”

Briercrest took the first set at 25-21, but then the Avs came back and took the next two at 23-25 and 22-25. Briercrest won the fourth set 25-23 to set up the tiebreak, which they won at 15-10.

The Avs are back practicing in their home gym and hope to get a few more exhibi-tion games under their belt with some Alberta squads before the Pacwest season starts in October.

BALTIMORE - The Toronto Blue Jays got 15 hits, four apiece by Munenori Kawasaki and Josh Thole, and never went down in order.

And still the Blue Jays lost 9-5 to Baltimore on Wednesday night, mainly because they wasted a week’s full of scoring chances.

Ryan Flaherty hit a pair of two home runs and Jonathan Schoop and Steve Pearce contributed solo shots for the Orioles, who ended a six-game skid and secured a winning season for the second straight year.

“They stung the ball, hit the ball well,” Toronto’s Brett Lawrie said. “They put runners on, they hit a cou-ple of home runs. That’s about it.”

Although Kawasaki had a career high in hits and Thole tied his career high-water mark, the Blue Jays stranded 14 and went 4 for 22 with

runners in scoring position.“We kept getting guys on base. We

just couldn’t get them in enough,” manager John Gibbons said. “You run into those. That’s where we could have used that home run. They got a couple of homers. We could have used one. Might have been a different story.”

Esmil Rogers (5-9) yielded six runs and eight hits - including two homers - in 4 1-3 innings for Toron-to.

“You make a couple of mistakes, you pay at this level,” Rogers said. “It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re a baby. If you got a mistake, you’re going to pay.”

The Orioles were eliminated from the wild-card hunt one night earlier, so manager Buck Showalter rested Adam Jones, Brian Roberts and Matt Wieters and moved Chris Davis from first base to designated hitter.

NEW YORK - The end came quietly for this year’s New York Yankees. No celebra-tions. No titles. No Octo-ber baseball.

Curtis Granderson was batting in the eighth inning Wednesday night when the Cleveland In-dians completed a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. And with that, the Yankees were mathematically elimi-nated from post-season contention in the mid-dle of the season’s final week, even before they finished an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

New York failed to make the post-season for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time in 19 years. Mariano Rivera will be in the bullpen Thursday night for his final game at Yankee Stadium - he’ll be there in a regu-lar season game with nothing at stake for New York, rather than on the post-season stage where he solidified his creden-tials as the greatest relief pitcher ever.

“I’ll be there for the fans. They deserve it,” the 43-year-old said. “But it don’t mean any-thing. I’m not used to pitching for something

that doesn’t mean any-thing. I wanted to pitch for something that means something.”

Evan Longoria hom-ered twice as the Rays won their sixth straight and lowered their magic number over Texas to three for clinching an AL wild-card berth.

Slowed by age and hobbled by injury, the Yankees (82-76) failed to claim one of the 10 play-offs berths despite base-ball’s highest open-ing-day payroll at $230 million.

“It’s extremely disap-pointing, and back to the drawing board,” manager Joe Girardi said. “It hurts.”

Since starting the lat-est run of success in 1995, New York had missed the playoffs only in 2008 - when the team bid goodbye to old Yan-kee Stadium. This time, the Yankees are saying so long to Rivera and Andy Pettitte, who are retiring when the sea-son ends Sunday.

New York trailed by just one game for the second wild-card berth earlier this month be-fore a series opener at Boston on Friday the 13th. But the Yankees have lost eight of 11, in-cluding three in a row. Before a quiet crowd of

37,260, they were elimi-nated from contention for a playoff berth on their own field for the first time since 1991.

“It’s a really sad feel-ing,” said Robinson Cano, the All-Star sec-ond baseman who fig-ures to secure a nine-fig-ure contract this off-sea-son. “The fun part of this game is playoffs. I’m

really sad right now, and it’s going to stick in my head, in my mind, until next season.”

Phil Hughes (4-14) allowed three runs and seven hits in two in-nings-plus, walking slowly to the dugout and looking up to the stands when he was removed from what likely was his final start with the Yan-

kees.“Just a tough way to

end things here - not making the post-sea-son,” Hughes said.

A key part of the Yan-kees’ 2009 title team as a reliever, Hughes went 0-7 with a 6.09 ERA in 13 starts since beating Minnesota on July 2. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

Ryan Chynoweth, 18, spent the last two seasons in the U.S. Di-vision of the WHL, starting with his rookie season with the Everett Silvertips before mov-ing to the Tri-City Americans for his sophomore year via a trade deal. In 107 ca-reer WHL games, Chynoweth has totalled three goals and 10 as-sists.

Jeff Chynoweth had conversations with Americans general manager Bob Tory re-garding a few players before a deal with Ryan emerged.

“Ryan will comple-ment our existing age group of 1995-born players,” the Kootenay GM said. “He adds ver-satility playing either wing or centre, and is one of only three left shot forwards on our team.”

Tory has connec-tions with the Kootenay Ice, serving as GM many years ago when

the franchise relocated to Cranbrook from Ed-monton in 1998.

“With an abundance of forwards, we felt that a situation for Ryan in Kootenay was best for his development as a player,” Tory said in a press release. “We thank Ryan for his commitment, dedica-tion, and work ethic to our team and we wish him all the best as he gets to play in his hometown.”

Ryan Chynoweth said he is looking for-ward to meeting his new teammates and getting down to work.

“I’m a hard working two-way forward, I can

play in the offensive and defensive zones,” he said. “I can play all three forward positions and pretty much do whatever I can to help the team win.”

The Silvertips se-lected Chynoweth 24th overall in the second round of the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. He will be at team practice on Thursday and it will be up to the coaches whether or not to get him into the lineup for the weekend dou-ble-header with the Hurricanes and the Pats.

The Chynoweths are just one example of family ties currently within the WHL. Adam Lowry was a standout with the Swift Current Broncos, while his fa-ther, Dave Lowry coached the Victoria Royals. Connor Clous-ton, son of Tigers GM/coach Shaun Clouston (brother of former Ice coach Cory Clouston), is suiting up for the Ka-mloops Blazers.

Broncos QB Peyton Manning has only improved with age

AssoCiAted PressENGLEWOOD, Colo.

- Peyton Manning is only getting better with age.

Those surgical scars on his neck are starting to fade like all those fears that he might never be the same quarterback - or even play again - after his right arm shrank from a damaged nerve

in his biceps two years ago.

After attacking his rehab as doggedly as he assails defences, Den-ver’s 37-year-old quar-terback is making it hard to fathom and easy to forget that not so long ago he was missing an entire season and get-ting fired in Indianapo-

lis.The four-time MVP is

off to the best start of his storied 16-year career.

Driven by last year’s playoff pratfall, Manning is putting up historic numbers while directing an imaginative offence that’s still working through some growing pains.

The women’s Avalanche team hit the court for some practice this week in advance of their preseason debut at the Rumble in the Rockies touranment this weekend at the College of the Rockies gym.

Women’s Avs ready to rumbleVolleyball squad hosting Rumble in the Rockies tournament starting Thursday

tre vor Cr AwleySports Editor

If you hear a loud commotion from the College of the Rockies over the next few days, it’s probably because an Avalanche has rolled into the gym.

The women’s volley-ball team is hosting the annual Rumble in the Rockies preseason tour-nament, attracting 5 college teams from Al-berta and a CIS squad from the University of Calgary.

The ladies, which feature nine-first year athletes on the roster, have been busy in prac-tice, and now its time to get a feel for some real competition.

“This weekend, it’s all about putting girls in the right spots, trying them in different posi-tions, everybody’s going to play,” said women’s head coach Agata Bendkowska. “We have lots of games so what we are really looking for, as a coaching staff, is to play them all.

“[There’s] lots of learning for us coaches, but we also want to be competitive. So even though everybody’s going to play, we also want to be very compet-itive.”

Allison Pepper, a re-turnee with the team who plays on the left side, said practices are usually broken up with different parts of the team working on of-fence and defence, and now it’s time to put that work to the test.

“Everything in prac-tice we split up defence and we’re doing differ-ent things on and off, and we haven’t really had a chance to put ev-erything together,” Pep-per said, “so this week-end will be great to see how everyone moves together, figure out who works best with who in an actual game situa-tion.

“…But everyone’s working really well to-gether. We got lots of girls with lots of talent and I think we’re com-

ing together more as a team now. Training camp was good week of getting to know each other, seeing how ev-eryone can play togeth-er, that kind of thing.”

Bendkowska and her assistants are excited to see what the girls can do on the court, and who steps up to earn starting spots once the Pacwest season starts.

“The team looks re-ally good,” said Bend-kowska. “Definitely a new look, and it looks

like the team has good potential.

“…They work really hard. Everybody’s on the same level right now, so everyone is working hard because we need to pick out our six best players to com-pete in the league.”

The tournament will be based at the College of the Rockies gym, however, the Mount Baker Secondary School gym will also host some games on Friday.

CALGARY - Zbynek Michalek scored 3:53 into overtime Wednes-day night to give the Phoenix Coy-otes to a 3-2 pre-season victory over the Calgary Flames.

The goal came on a slapshot from the blue-line with Reto Berra screened by a group of players in front.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson and

Shane Doan also scored for Phoe-nix (3-2-1). The Coyotes finish their pre-season Friday night with a home game against the San Jose Sharks.

Mike Smith had 29 saves to get the victory.

High octane offence in the WHL

Crawford, Howard among players on Olympic bubbleLarry Lage

Associated Press

DETROIT - When the NHL season begins, a lot of players will begin tryouts of sorts for their Olympic teams.

Sidney Crosby, of course, is a lock to play for the defending cham-

pion Canadians, assum-ing he stays healthy while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Patrick Kane, like-wise, has a secure spot after helping the U.S. win silver in 2010 - if he isn’t injured in a Chica-go Blackhawks uniform.

But for some players in the league such as Corey Crawford and Jimmy Howard, they won’t be only playing for the Blackhawks and De-troit Red Wings early in the season. The goalies are also vying for the honour of being be-

tween the pipes at the Sochi Games in less than five months.

Crawford insisted earning a spot on Cana-da’s team is not on his mind.

“That only puts more pressure on myself,” he said after a preseason

game in Detroit. “I just want to worry about what I have to do for our team. To spend any extra time thinking about the Olympic team would be a waste of a time.”

Crawford was one of five goaltenders invited to Hockey Canada’s camp last month. He was joined by Vancou-ver’s Roberto Luongo, Montreal’s Carey Price, Phoenix’s Mike Smith and Washington’s Bra-den Holtby. Three of them will suit up for the Canadians.

“It’s going to be a huge three months for everybody that’s in con-sideration because that’s when a lot of guys will make the team - or not,” said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, who will be back on Canada’s bench after leading the team to gold at the Vancouver Games.

Howard plans to focus on helping the Red Wings win, hoping that helps him play for the U.S. when the NHL takes a break in Febru-ary.

“In the back of my mind, I’ll know that I’ll also be auditioning for this team,” Howard said last month in Arlington, Va., at the U.S. hockey camp. “It’ll make the stakes higher for every single game, and I like that.”

Howard acknowl-edged he will keep tabs on his competition - Los Angeles’ Jonathan Quick, Buffalo’s Ryan Miller, Ottawa’s Craig Anderson and New Jer-sey’s Cory Schneider - knowing they’re vying for one of three spots.

“Everybody will sort of be watching it,” How-ard said. “But I’m not going to read into it too much. You just have to worry about your own game, take care of your business and make it difficult on the staff picking the team.”

Each country in the tournament will have some tough choices to make when finalizing their 25-man teams, but the picks and snubs will be closely watched in the Canada and might create a bit of a buzz in

the U.S. before the Dec. 31 deadline to submit rosters.

Steve Yzerman re-turns as the executive director of Hockey Can-ada and his manage-ment group includes fellow NHL executives Ken Holland, Doug Armstrong and Kevin Lowe.

While their watching their teams in the league, the executives will be keeping an eye on players from their countries, conducting conference calls and fil-ing reports. Holland, GM of the Red Wings, also plans to scout some games in person that are not on his team’s sched-ule.

“A lot of players from the 2010 team will be on our radar, but there will be some changes be-cause Canada has a lot of good young players who have developed a lot over the last four years,” Holland said. “When we are playing an opponent, I know who I’ll be evaluating on the other team for Team Canada consideration.”

CANADIAN PRESS/ho-RCMP

The aftermath of a train derailment in Landis, Sask., is seen on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2013.

C ANADIAN PRESS

LANDIS, Sask. — Hazardous material crews were cleaning up oil spilled from a Cana-dian National train car that derailed close to a small community in western Saskatchewan early Wednesday.

RCMP said 17 rail cars — some carrying flammable petroleum, ethanol and chemicals — came off the tracks after 4 a.m. within 500 to 700 metres of the village of Landis, west of Saska-toon.

“The spill involved a petroleum product that is not considered highly explosive,’’ Sgt. Grant Rusk said.

“Because of the flam-mable nature of some of the other rail-car con-tents, and the proximity to Landis and the school, the decision was made to close the Landis School for the day while the contents of the dam-aged cars were unload-ed.’’

No one was injured.Warren Chandler, a

spokesman for CN, said it was not clear how much oil spilled, but that the oil was concen-trated along the right of way of its the transconti-nental rail line.

Chandler said some of the cars were on their sides and CN crews were working to clean up the area.

“One of the derailed cars is leaking lube oil,’’

he said from Edmonton.“CN crews immedi-

ately began a process using vacuum trucks to contain and reclaim the leaking product.’’

The Saskatchewan government said one of the other derailed cars contains ethanol and was on its side, but was not leaking.

Premier Brad Wall said most goods shipped by train move safely across Canada and rail-ways are needed.

But he said the spill is another chance to talk about the benefit of pipelines.

“There is a debate though now that’s pre-cipitated by Keystone and by (the proposed Northern) Gateway and maybe by the Energy East pipeline, about what is the safest way to move certain products,’’ Wall said in Regina.

“We think it’s an all-of-the-above proposi-tion. We are going to be railing more oil out of this province, that’s just the fact of the matter. We’re doing it now and frankly doing it effi-ciently and safely for the most part, again from a statistical stand-point.

“But we need pipe-lines. We need them and we need to be un-equivocal that pipelines are still certainly the best way.’’

RCMP said the cars that went off of the

tracks were in the mid-dle of the 560-me-tre-long freight train and no other vehicle was involved in the de-railment.

Fire crews from near-by communities put out a grass fire in a ditch caused by the derail-ment, but police said none of the rail cars caught fire.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it is sending an in-vestigator to the site.

The TSB is an indepen-dent agency that investi-gates marine, pipeline, railway and aviation transportation occur-rences. It looks at ways to prevent similar inci-dents, but does not as-sign blame.

Rogers Communica-tions said the derail-ment severed cables which temporarily cut wireless services Wednesday morning for many of its customers in Western Canada.

VANCOUVER — A 29-year-old Vancouver man has been sen-tenced to eight months in jail for his role in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot.

In passing sentence Tuesday, a B.C. Provin-cial Court judge called Vasilios Makris’ involve-ment in the riot “the most serious of any case heard so far.’’

Justice William Kitchen added that it was “difficult to imagine how any rioter could have been more in-volved in the mayhem’’ that followed the Ca-nucks’ Game 7 loss to Boston in the final.

Kitchen said Makris, who was charged with assault and taking part

in a riot, was actively “cheerleading’’ others during the riot, taunted police, broke into a store and was involved in three vehicle fires.

Makris had said he believes he drank well over a dozen beer and 14 ounces of vodka on the night of the riot.

But Kitchen writes that “considerable video footage’’ shows Makris walking and running and not displaying the “usual signs of impair-ment’’ such as stum-bling.

Over the last two years, more than 100 people have received sentences ranging from discharges to more than a year in jail in connec-tion with the riot.

NATIONAL FOREST WEEKSeptember 22 - 28, 2013

It’s National Forest Week – A time when Canadians are invited to learn more about Canada’s forest heritage and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource. Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, traditions, history and to our future. Communities, families and individuals depend on forests for their livelihood and way of life.

The Greenest Work ForceThe theme of this year’s NFW is: The Greenest Work Force. We will highlight the vital work of forest professionals and practitioners and to recognize them as “true greenies” who are involved in managing all aspects of forest!

How to Participate in National Forest Week• learn about organizations that demonstrate or help others with sustainable forest management

• tour a forest sector industry or processing site

• learn about the positive and negative effects of forest fires

• contact a provincial forestry association for teaching materials

• get involved with your local CIF/IFC section

• arrange a tree planting: www.treecanada.ca (National Tree Day is September 25th, 2013)

• take a walk in woods nearby and get to know your forest— listen to birds; identify different plants; enjoy being in nature

• care for a newly planted or neglected tree, and study its species

• identify all the things at home or school that are made of wood

Tree Identification Smartphone AppOne of the major projects we are working on is the development of a smart-phone app aimed at young people, their parents and teachers. This app will help them identify trees they find in their communities by looking at pictures of trees native to BC and reading about these trees. Users will also be able to take photos of their favou-rite trees, make notes on them and use the GPS function on their phone to map these trees. The app will also include a forestry news feed and a calendar of forestry events.

We are raising funds to pay for the development of the app – as well as future improvements – through the online donation tool Fundrazr. Please visit our Fundrazr page and make a do-nation to this fun and educational proj-ect!

Roughly 35 forest fires raged in the state of Colorado in June of 2012, obliterating homes and thousands of acres of land in the process. While these devastating fires were blazing, much of the central United States was under record-breaking heat, with some temperatures consis-tently reaching the triple digits.

The National Climate Data Center reported that 41 heat records were broken at the time, most in Kansas, Ne-braska and Colorado. Such high temperatures are typical in these areas. Many scientists have questioned if the forest fires and the heat waves tend to go hand in hand.

According to the “Heat Waves and Climate Change” re-port from Climate Communication, a nonprofit science and outreach project funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the ClimateWorks Foundation, as of the June forest fires, there had been nearly 10 times as many high-temperature records as low-temperature records through the midway point of 2012. In the last 10 years, high-temperature records have outnumbered low-tempera-ture records by a two-to-one margin. This has led many people to firmly believe that the climate is growing warmer.

The prospects of global climate change have prompted the assumptions of many different ecological changes. Ecologists and scientists have said that a mere two degree change in temperature can have profound effects. Some of those effects include:

• Intense warming over land, exacerbated over the Arctic. Retreating sea ice in this area reflects less light and therefore re-sults in less cooling.

• Ice caps and glaciers melt, causing an overall rise in sea levels.

• Rising sea levels force many coastal areas, and those already below sea level, to be covered in water.

• Although day-to-day weather may not seem to change much, when extreme weather events do occur, they will be much more intense.

• Long dry spells combined with earlier snowmelt will increase the risk of wildfires, according to Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist and head of the climate analysis division of Colorado’s National Center for At-mospheric Research.

A study published in 2007 in the journal Climate Dynamics predicted wetter winters for the northeastern United States -- with 10 to 15 percent more precipitation -- and hotter summers. Residents of the Northeast witnessed this firsthand when the 2010-2011 blizzards essentially shut down major cities like New York and Boston.

Many more people have taken notice of weather abnormalities that have occurred in the last several years. Fiercer hurricanes and other storms around the world and alterations of normal seasonal patterns have raised questions. The Natural Resources Defense Council offers that

NATIONAL FOREST WEEKSeptember 22 - 28, 2013

The connection between forest fires and climate change

Devastation of forests may be another

casualty of global climate change.

Roughly 35 forest fires raged in the state of Colorado in June of 2012, obliterating homes and thousands of acres of land in the process. While these devastating fires were blazing, much of the central United States was under record-breaking heat, with some temperatures consis-tently reaching the triple digits.

The National Climate Data Center reported that 41 heat records were broken at the time, most in Kansas, Ne-braska and Colorado. Such high temperatures are typical in these areas. Many scientists have questioned if the forest fires and the heat waves tend to go hand in hand.

According to the “Heat Waves and Climate Change” re-port from Climate Communication, a nonprofit science and outreach project funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the ClimateWorks Foundation, as of the June forest fires, there had been nearly 10 times as many high-temperature records as low-temperature records through the midway point of 2012. In the last 10 years, high-temperature records have outnumbered low-tempera-ture records by a two-to-one margin. This has led many people to firmly believe that the climate is growing warmer.

Many more people have taken notice of weather abnormalities that have occurred in the last several years. Fiercer hurricanes and other storms around the world and alterations of normal seasonal patterns have raised questions. The Natural Resources Defense Council offers that

while local temperatures fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years the average global tem-perature has increased at the fastest rate in re-corded history. And experts think the trend is accelerating. The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990.

Scientists say that hot temperatures in Colora-do are one factor that may have contributed to the forest fires. However, low levels of precipi-tation throughout the year and the lack of very cold nights throughout the winter may have contributed to a drying out of the forests. In es-sence, the forests were like stacks of kindling just waiting to go up in flames.

Dr. Steven Running, a University of Montana forest ecologist, predicts that extreme events like immense forest fires will only become more prevalent and accelerate every year as warming trends continue.

Hi, this is Patricia Newell from A-B-C Country Restaurant in Cranbrook. Knight & Company have been our accountants for more than 16 years. I find Gary very personable and his staff friendly and helpful. Gary has helped me personally and financially over the years. I recommend Knight & Company for you and your business!

Patricia newell:

Retention and destructionAs a general rule, you have to keep all of the records and supporting documents that are re-quired to determine your tax obligations and entitlements for a peri-od of six years.

This six-year period starts at the end of the tax year to which the re-cords relate. The tax year is the fiscal period for corporations and the calendar year for all other taxpayers.

Records and supporting documents concerning long-term acquisitions

and disposal of proper-ty, the share registry, and other historical in-formation that would have an impact upon sale or liquidation or wind-up of the business must be kept indefinite-ly.

Destroying records earlyIf you get written per-mission from CRA, you may destroy your books and records earlier than the six year period mentioned above.

Payroll recordsIf you deduct Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, Employ-

ment Insurance (EI) premiums, or income tax from remuneration or other amounts you pay, you must keep re-cords of:

• the hours worked by each employee; and

• the CPP contribu-tions, EI premi-ums, or taxes that you withheld.

You also have to keep the following docu-ments:

• Form TD1, Personal Tax Credits Return, which all employees have to complete;

• Canada Revenue Agency letters of au-thority that let you reduce the tax de-ductions for certain employees for a spe-cific year;

• all information slips issued and all re-turns filed; and

• registered pension information.

You must keep all these records so that CRA can verify or review them, on request.

Businesses that use ser-vice bureaus, payroll providers, or similar in-stitutions to handle

payroll functions are still responsible for keeping records for the time period specified, generally six years. Payroll records can be kept in either paper or electronic format. CRA recommends that you keep electronic copies

of your records at your business location.

E-commerce recordsYour obligations for maintaining, retaining, and safeguarding books and records when con-ducting business on the Internet are the same as

for any other type of business operation.

These records must be sufficient to determine and verify your tax ob-ligations.

You must keep your business records for a minimum of six years from the end of the lat-est year to which they relate unless written permission is given by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Your records:

• must be maintained in Canada unless permission is grant-ed by the CRA to maintain them else-where;

• must be made avail-able to CRA offi-cials upon request; and

• include electronic records that are maintained and cre-ated by computer-ized record keeping systems.

CRANBROOK - The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has announced changes to the elk hunting season in the East Kootenay.

For this fall, the elk hunt-ing seasons in the South Trench of the Kootenay region will be as follows:

General Open Season for antlerless elk in 4-03 Zone X (includes

UPDATEportions of 4-2 to 4-5 and 4-20 to 4-22), Sept. 20 to Sept. 30 - CLOSED.

Senior/youth season for antlerless elk in 4-03 Zone X (includes portions of 4-2 to 4-5 and 4-20 to

4-22), Sept. 10 to Sept. 14 - CLOSED.

Senior/youth season for antlerless elk in 4-26 Zone X (includes portions of 4-25 and 4-26), Sept. 10 to Sept. 19 - CLOSED.

For a detailed map of Zone X, please consult Page 52 of the 2012-2014 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis at: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/regulations/

All other elk hunting seasons in the Kootenay region remain una� ected.

The elk hunting seasons were initially expanded in 2010 to help reduce crop damage in the South Trench area. However, crop damage has persist-ed, despite a decrease in elk numbers. The ministry

Changes to elk hunting season in

East Kootenay

is considering a number of site-speci� c measures in those agricultural areas hardest hit. Local stakeholders are current-ly reviewing options to

ensure elk are managed sustainably and in a manner that meets the interests of all involved.

This year’s hunting sea-son closures are guided by the Kootenay Elk Management Plan that called for a 20- to 40-per-cent reduction to local elk populations.

Elk populations now have been reduced 35 per cent, and lowering the elk harvest is now needed to maintain elk numbers at the manage-ment target agreed to

in the plan, and to avoid continued population declines.Population surveys con-ducted in January 2013 estimate there are 7,509 elk in the South Trench area. The 2008 popula-tion for elk in the South Trench was estimated at 11,580.

DETROIT — Creators of a Detroit statue of the fictional crime-fighting cyborg RoboCop say they plan to un-veil it next summer. Venus Bronze Works in Detroit is getting ready to cast pieces of the statue and on Tues-day showed off its 10-foot-tall (3-me-ter-tall) model to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press.

The 1980s science fiction movie was set in a futuristic and crime-rid-den Detroit.

The movement for a RoboCop stat-ue started in 2011 after a social net-working campaign exploded in sup-port of the project, quickly raising money to make it happen.

Brandon Walley, director of devel-opment for the non-profit the Imagi-nation Station, says the statue “will add nicely to Detroit and the rejuve-nation that’s happening here.’’

He says the hope is that the statue will stand in a prominent place down-town.

This road runs along Cape Cod’s shifting sea-floor, and undersea ex-plorer Barry Clifford be-lieves it leads to undis-covered treasure from the wreck of the pirate ship Whydah.

About two weeks ago, Clifford and his dive team took a trip back to the wreck site, and Clifford returned more convinced that the road he’s exploring is a path to riches.

“We think we’re very, very close,’’ he said.

The Whydah sank in a brutal storm in 1717

with plunder from 50 ships on board. Clifford discovered the wreck site in 1984 off Wellfleet

and has since pulled up 200,000 artifacts, in-cluding gold ornaments, sword handles, even a

boy’s leg.But just this year,

Clifford learned far more treasure may be

resting with the Whyd-ah. Colonial-era docu-ments discovered in April indicated the Whydah raided two ves-sels in the weeks before it sank. Its haul on those raids included 400,000 coins, the records said.

A Sept. 1 dive during what was supposed to be Clifford’s last trip of the season uncovered evidence he was near those coins. That con-vinced Clifford he had to make another trip be-fore summer’s end. So Clifford and a sev-en-man crew went back on a three-day trip that ended Sept. 13.

Clifford headed for the “yellow brick road,’’ which refers to a gold and artifact-strewn path

extending between two significant sites at the Whydah wreck that are about 700 feet apart — a cannon pile and a large chunk of wood that Clif-ford thinks is the Whyd-ah’s stern.

The trove of coins and other treasure likely poured from the stern as the ship broke up and the stern drifted to its rest 300 years ago, he said.

Divers searching the path on the recent trip pulled up several con-cretions, which are rocky masses that form when metals, such as gold and silver, chemi-cally react to seawater. Diver Jon Matel said one discovery was following another, even though divers were working in “black water,’’ or ze-ro-visibility.

Matel says several feet of a fine seaweed called mung settled in the excavated pits and it was like diving in a vat of black gelatin.

“You’re going by your feel, your touch, your hands, and the ping of a metal detec-tor,’’ Matel said. “When that thing goes off, it’s a

great feeling.’’X-rays show all the

newly retrieved concre-tions have coins and gold inside. To Clifford it’s more proof of high concentrations of met-als and coins being dumped en masse on that spot of sea floor.

Clifford believes two examples that were pulled up on the previ-ous trip are particularly compelling evidence: a cannonball piled with 11 coins and a foot-and-a-half long piece of iron stacked with 50 coins.

“Did all of those coins just happen to fall on this one little piece of iron? Or were there thousands of coins there, and this is just an example of what’s left?’’ he said.

Clifford has no doubt it’s the latter, but he’ll have to wait until next summer to try to find out.

He’s taken 21 trips this summer at a cost of more than $200,000. But the worsening weather and lingering boat prob-lems after a recent light-ning strike make anoth-er visit impossible until June.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A noted California doctor armed with just a pocket knife and a pen performed an emergency life-saving tracheoto-my on a diner who was choking on a piece of meat.

Dr. Royce Johnson, Kern Medical Center’s chief of infectious diseases, cleared the airway of Pauline Larwood at The Mark restaurant in Ba-kersfield, California, the Bakersfield Californian reported Tuesday.

Some of the nation’s top doctors and other area leaders who were in town for a sympo-sium on valley fever also were in the restau-rant.

Johnson is the chief of infectious diseases at the Kern Medical Center in Bakersfied.

Larwood is a Kern Community College Dis-trict board trustee.

A Bakersfield assemblywoman, Shannon Grove, said she and her husband were seated at a table with Larwood and her husband when she started choking on Monday.

Grove said her husband ran to Larwood and tried to perform the Heimlich manouevre.

He called for a doctor and Johnson attempted the technique as well.

“She had already started turning a real like blue, her fingers and her lips,’’ Grove said.

After the Heimlich failed to open Larwood’s airway, Grove called emergency dispatchers and said she watched in amazement as Lar-wood was laid back in a chair and Johnson used a friend’s pocket knife to make an incision in her throat.

“He didn’t scream; he just said, ‘I need a knife,’’’ Grove said.

As several physicians gathered around Lar-wood, someone called for a pen which Johnson then broke in half and inserted the hollow cylin-der to use as a breathing tube.

The procedure was successful as Larwood was rushed to a hospital.

Her son said Tuesday that Larwood was doing fine.

CALGARY — It’s not exactly a case of steeroids, but a review has upheld the suspen-sion of a championship steer at this year’s Cal-gary Stampede for the use of banned substanc-es.

Drug testing of the top two steers in the July 13 Steer Classic Compe-tition revealed the pres-ence of two separate drugs, Ibuprofen and Flunixi, in the 2013 win-ner.

The animal was im-mediately disqualified and a review by Stam-pede’s Agriculture Re-view Panel released Wednesday agreed with the original ruling.

The two non-steroi-dal, anti-inflammatory drugs that were detect-ed are prohibited in any quantity under event rules.

The rules state all animals are to be pre-sented without any al-terations to their phys-iological state and free of violative drug resi-dues because the com-petition is designated “terminal,’’ meaning the champion steer enters the food sys-tem.

“This was a serious, yet simple issue,’’ said Paul Rosenberg, vice-president of pro-gramming at the Stam-

pede.“The steer was dis-

qualified for a violation relating to two separate drugs within the ani-mal’s system. It’s our responsibility to facili-tate a fair competition with high ethical stan-dards for our human participants and high quality care for all ani-mals.’’

The panel found that the rules were explicit and clear, the drug test-ing protocols were valid and the tests did reveal the presence of the two drugs.

“We’ve addressed a number of issues over the last few weeks in-cluding a review of our drug testing protocols that verified three im-portant things: the test-ing methodology used is appropriate for bo-vine, blood sampling is valid for drug residue detection and cross-contamination did not occur,’’ said Rosenberg.

“After reviewing the key elements of the de-cision, we are very con-fident with the original disqualification.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use the daytime hours to the max. You could be surprised by everything you can accomplish. Listen to your sixth sense when dealing with a neighbor. An idea might trigger your imagination and keep you distracted most of the late afternoon. Tonight: Hap-pily head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of your checkbook bal-ance, and catch a change quickly. Your ability to move past the obvious while looking for deeper reasons and more information will help. Remain responsive to others, even if you feel a bit overwhelmed. Tonight: Accept an invitation to go out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are full of spunk in the morning. The cost of enabling a situation to move forward could be higher than you’d anticipated. Don’t be so cocky about having enough funds dedicated to this project. Tonight: Follow a sug-gestion from someone who has had more experience than you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be slow to take ac-tion, but once you do, it could be difficult to stop you. You still will want to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Know what you desire in the long term. If someone does not make the grade, you will know soon. To-night: A force to behold. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the morning to the max. Meetings will be more successful as a result. You have a lot to think about this afternoon, and you might feel pressured by others to come to a conclusion. Listen to their feedback. Debate an option with a trusted friend. Tonight: Keep evaluating. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will continue to pressure you until you decide to become unavailable. Some might say that your attitude is selfish, but that is not the case. You usually give a lot to others, so taking some time for yourself is smart. Tonight: Make plans with a fa-vorite person or two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are willing to walk in some-

one else’s shoes. Do it more often in order to prevent a problem from developing. Respect and honor your differences, rather than judging them. Your ability to take the lead in a trying situa-tion will emerge. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A partner seems much more fun-loving than in the past. Be ready to switch gears, as you might need to make a long-dis-tance call. You know what is going on with this person. Trust your instincts, despite what you might be hearing. Tonight: Opt for a movie or other fun happen-ing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are able to digest a lot of information and then quickly share it in a clear manner. How-ever, when people drop a lot of information on you, it takes time to sort it all out. Ask a key friend for help in separating the viable facts from fiction. Tonight: With a favorite person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Get as much done in the morn-ing as you can. By afternoon,

meetings and people in general will occupy your time. You are correct in thinking that you need to establish what is too much, yet you might find it difficult to say “no” to others. Tonight: Make exciting weekend plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness will be hard to resist, but you might need to tame it a bit in the afternoon. You have a lot on your plate, and you have the ability to handle it. Start taking care of business. Make time to discuss an import-ant idea. Tonight: Take a walk or go to the gym. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be slow to start in the morning, but by afternoon, you will be full of ideas, enthusiasm and energy. See what a couple of hours can do? If an idea or thought keeps haunting you, make a point to do something about it. Tonight: Put up your feet and relax. BORN TODAY Poet T.S. Eliot (1888), former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (1946), American pio-neer John Chapman (1774)

Dear Annie: I started dating “Zach” 18 months ago and have been living with him for almost a year. Things are perfect except for one thing. Before we met, Zach dated another girl for three years before me. She was horrible and hurtful toward him. When I began see-ing Zach, his ex started harassing me to the point where I had to take out a restraining order against her. The problem is, Zach’s older sister is still in constant contact with the ex. She always talks about her in front of me and even al-lows the ex to babysit her children. She often invites the ex to go places with her and posts pictures of the two of them on Facebook. Zach has had many fights with his sister about this, telling her how hurtful it is to both of us, yet she still continues to do it. I’ve tried everything possible to make his sister like me, but I can’t keep competing with the ex. It’s causing a strain between Zach and his sister. I don’t have issues with anyone else in his family. What can I do to get the ex out of the picture permanently? -- The Current Woman in His Life Dear Current: Zach’s sister is doing this for one of two reasons: Either she likes getting your goat, in which case, your response is very gratifying for her. Or, she doesn’t want you to dictate who her friends can be. Either way, your response should be the same: Ig-nore it. If her main purpose is to annoy you, she will become bored with the tactic when she sees it has no effect. And if she is truly friends with this woman, the relationship is not your business. The added benefit of ig-noring it is that Zach will be grateful. You al-ready have his total support, and that is what counts. Dear Annie: I recently bought my first smartphone and have yet to figure out the proper etiquette for using it in public. I was taught that it is rude to answer one’s phone when in the midst of a conversation. I be-lieve this also goes for texting or using apps. I try to avoid using my phone while at social events. If I have to make a call or respond to a message, I excuse myself to another room. Lately, I have noticed people using their phones in all types of situations that I would consider inappropriate. Are these people just oblivious to the standards of respect that should be shown to others, or have the stan-dards changed? Is there a good set of rules to follow when using my smartphone in public? Also, how can I politely let people know that their phone use is making me feel ignored? -- Confused College Kid Dear College Kid: May we clone you? Basic phone etiquette says that you do not take a call when you are with someone else. Letting it disturb your conversation indicates that the call is more important than the person you are with. If it is an emergency, excuse yourself and call back. Try not to speak too loudly. Every person around shouldn’t be privy to your conversation. (It is also a safe-ty issue in case you are giving out personal information.) If someone ignores you to answer a call or play Angry Birds, ask them nicely to please put their phone away. If they still cannot focus their attention on you, say, “I can see that you are busy. I’ll talk to you later.” Dear Annie: This is for “Torn Grandma,” who babysits for her granddaughter who may be allergic to Grandma’s dog. Perhaps Grandma could watch her grand-daughter in the child’s home or in a dog-free room that has an air filter running daily. The child should be tested to be sure it’s the dog that is truly the cause of her reaction. -- Your Local Veterinarian Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In Memory ofIn Memoriam In Memoriam

The blow was hard, the shock severe. We little thought, the end was near.

And only those, who have lost can tell, The pain of parting without a farewell.

More each day, we miss you Tyler, Friends may think the wound is healed,

But they little know the sorrow, That lies within our hearts concealed.

Forever loved and sadly missed always by his Grand-mother, “Jean Pascuzzo” and Bill, and his treasured, much loved little son “Austin” along with his ex-tended family, Tyler’s Great Uncles; Lester, Edward (Betty), Raymond (Afton) and Great “Auntie Ruth” which he stayed with many times while working close to her, in Alberta and Sask. Along with Tyler’s many, many cousins too numerous to mention.

Tyler lived for his job at Precision Drilling, enjoyed all of his many friends, whether ski-do-ing, boating, motor-biking, mud-bogging or camping, he enjoyed life.

Thanks to all who attended our celebration of Tyler’s life, and special thanks for the comforting words, beautiful fl owers and cards. All was enjoyed over a nice luncheon. Thanks to all of you.

We love you TylerRest in Peace

Gramma “Jean Pascuzzo” & Bill and families.

When should you not go to S o u t h e a s t

Asia? Well... now. If you were following

the weather news last week, you know that it is typhoon season in Asia. We know it as hurricane season here in North America. Same thing: big storm, high winds, tons of rain. This is not the time to go... but it is a beautiful, fascinating area of the world and you should see it – pref-erably during dry sea-son!

September and Oc-tober are the rainiest of the rainy season, and the best months (hottest and driest) are Novem-ber to February.

It’s a long flight to Thailand (more than 16 hours) so take some time to visit properly. Flights are reasonable for the distance (at about $1,500), and once there, you will get good value for your money.

A few years ago, I travelled to the Anda-man area of Thailand and did some island hopping. I have never seen such white sand beaches or crystal-clear blue waters (bath-tub-warm!) anywhere else in my travels so far. Here are the highlights of the places I visited.

Phuket is about 900 kilometres south of Bangkok. This part of Thailand is nestled in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. Phuket is the largest is-land, and is renowned for its world class dive sites. It is also a busy tourist area, so visit and then get out to the smaller islands for a lit-tle less chaos.

Koh Phi Phi Don is the largest and only in-habited island of the six islands in the Phi Phi archipelago. ‘Koh’ means island, and ‘Phi Phi’ is pronounced pee-pee. Phi Phi Don has some lovely accommo-dation that is reasonably priced.

The island attracts a lot of backpackers and there is cheap hostel ac-commodation, but there are also some beautiful bungalows on stilts with hardwood floors, with big open decks and stunning views of the beach and the sea.

These resorts have open-air restaurants where most meals are

served family style. Exploring beautiful

beaches, spectacular snorkelling and diving, boating along island

cliffs and caves – these are just some of the ac-tivities you can enjoy here.

Koh Lanta archipela-

go is made up of over 50 islands, though only three are inhabited. I stayed on Lanta Yai. Bungalows on the beach

are spacious and rea-sonably priced. The most magnificent sun-sets can be seen right from your deck chair. Going out for a ‘longtail’ fishing boat ride is a must, but make sure the water is calm – they are probably safe, but they don’t look it!

Krabi is on the main-land of Thailand, and one of my favourite des-tinations. White sandy beaches for swimming, coral reefs for diving, forests with caves and waterfalls for exploring. There is even rock climbing there.

Take at least a couple weeks to visit the is-lands, and do your shopping in Bangkok on the way home. That’s a whole other article!

For more informa-tion, contact Carla Nel-son, Branch Manager at Maritime Travel, at 250-489-4788.

Why you should take a trip to ThailandCarla Nelson of Maritime Travel tours Thailand’s spectacular islands

The beaches of Thailand are stunning and, when calm, a ‘long tail’ fishing boat is a beautiful way to see the area.

SubmittedThe coolish temperatures did

not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd that graced Idlewild Peace Park for the United Nations International Day of Peace Cele-bration on Sept. 21, 2013.

There were many displays for the public to look at and partici-pate in: the project on all the provinces and territories of Cana-da that many of our schools par-ticipated in; the Anglican youth group displays and the White Dove of Peace that some of the international students “flew” around the celebration for the youth group; the Arts Council’s peace pinwheels; the Baha’i Chil-dren’s Group “decorated deer” and tree hangings; information on a new website “East Kootenay Humanity Network” which was to be launched on Sept. 21; a map of the world made by the interna-tional students where people ‘pinned their country’; and a pamphlet, ‘What does peace mean to me?’ to share your thoughts about peace, some of which were shared throughout the program.

During the day there was a flurry of excitement as many vol-unteers and a huge contingent of 30 or more international students from the College of the Rockies International Department helped to bring and set up a tent courtesy of Bridge Interiors, set up staging for the performers, set up chairs courtesy of Frank San-dor, Sandor Rental; set up a tent for the displays; and decorate the trees in the Peace Park.

There was much fun and

laughter as 75 international flags of the world (which were painted by children at summer projects in Rotary Park) were weaved around to embrace the celebration; the candles for the evening were pre-pared; and some balloon pop-ping as many balloons were made ready for the children at-tending the celebration in the evening.

Lovely and very talented, Jo-elle Winkel opened the celebra-tion leading us with ‘O Canada’.

We were honoured to have dignitaries MP David Wilks and Mayor Wayne Stetski present and welcomed their profound words which once again indicated how fortunate we are to be Canadians; our very important Colour Guard from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 24 in Cranbrook; and Sweeheart Youth Ambassadors, Alicia Leasak and Makenzie Yates, with words of wisdom from their perspective.

The entertainment began with a beautiful and soul stirring dance by Brianna Salmon, Stages School of Dance, under direction of Sheri Green, to the music ‘In-strument of Peace’ by the Canadi-an Tenors. This wonderful rendi-tion truely does set the tone in everyone’s heart to embrace love, peace and unity.

Equally stunning were the dances performed by the Royal Stewart Highland dancers under direction of Jane Nixon; the Metis Jiggers under direction of Amy Cross; and the very colourful Fili-pino-Canadian Association of East Kootenay Dancers under the direction of Lourdes Butalid.

All of the spectacular dancers are real crowdpleasers; we are so honoured to have them as part of the celebration and look forward to all of them returning next year.

Our musicians and singers did a fantastic job of engaging the crowd and graciously filling in for last minute cancellations. These very talented individuals were: Joelle Winkel; Joel and buddy from Connect Church Group; John Dumas; Kenneth Trusler from Invermere; and well-known star Ed King, B.C. Country Hall of Fame.

As the shivering audience si-lently left this moving and inspi-rational celebration, the sounds of “Stand Up And Say Yes” by Carla floated though the air; the words from the chorus leave a profound message to all of us: “Anyone who wants a better to-morrow, Stand up and say yes, I’ll do my part.”

The committee for Cranbrook Celebration for Peace Society wishes to extend a very sincere and humble thank you to all of the many volunteers (you know who you are), sponsors and local businesses that so graciously do-nated items to make this cele-bration the success it has be-come. It is because of dedicated hard-working and sincere indi-viduals in our community that special events like this can be presented to the community as a whole to enjoy. Also a huge thank you to all of the perform-ers, and to the audience that at-tended.

See you next year, Sept. 21, 2014, at Idlewild Peace Park.
