TRE VOR CR AWLEY

It’s the details that matter.

With that in mind, Glenn Dobie and the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo organizing com-mittee went to work and tweaked a few things for their second annual event on Sunday.

Needless to say, their hard work paid off.

With a 40 per cent increase from the inau-gural event last year, the 2014 edition featured 350 riders in all three of the distance categories.

“I think first and foremost is the over-whelming kudos to the volunteers from the cy-clists,” said Dobie, “What we’ve dubbed the ‘Fondo Force’ really was a force to be reck-oned with. Their enthu-siasm and support in

cheering the cyclists on was just exceptional.

“Adding the little wrinkle of going through the Kimberley Platzl…the expression I heard from the cyclists is that it felt like the Tour de France and it gave them a tremen-dous boost to cycle all the way out to Wasa and back.”

The Kimberley Rota-ry Club organized the festivities at the Platzl, with crowds building up an enthusiastic atmo-sphere as they cheered on the cyclists.

“It was like a celebra-tion festival,” Dobie added. “People were stopping and cheering and there were cowbells and noisemakers.”

ARNE PETRYSHENThe prolonged start of the

school year has been a headache for parents and kids who would normally be attending the second week of classes.

It’s also been a problem for in-ternational students who have ar-rived for the planned start of the

school year, but have found them-selves without classes to attend.

To remedy that, the internation-al program for School District 5 has been keeping the students busy with activities in the region.

Martin Ross, District Develop-ment Officer for SD5, said there are 72 international students in Cran-

brook, Sparwood and Fernie, who arrived for school last week.

“We’re providing activities for them, virtually everyday,” Ross said. “Last Friday we were river rafting. Next weekend we’re going to Banff. So lots of cool things.”

He said the activities are a sort of contingency plan while the provin-

cial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation continue to negotiate.

“Obviously if class was in ses-sion we wouldn’t be offering those activities,” he said. “I think that they really enjoy those activities, but I don’t think there’s any ques-tion that they’d like to be in school

as well.”Of the 72 students, 53 are at-

tending schools in Cranbrook. The students come from Ger-

many, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, Japan and Libya.

Internationals arrive for school year; School District 5 providing activities as teachers strike drags on

Arne PetryshenThey may wander the streets

hungry and looking for food, but do the right thing and avoid feed-ing those urban-dwelling deer.

The city is reminding both res-idents and visitors not to feed the deer, as intentional feeding of deer contravenes Cranbrook’s Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw.

The bylaw, which came into effect back in October 2010, states that no one is to provide deer with food by intentionally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edi-ble material for the sole purpose of feeding deer.

“For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other compostable food scraps on a residential lot or property where these items are not consistently being grown or produced for human consumption would be seen as an infraction to the bylaw,” noted Chris Zettel, the city’s cor-porate communication officer.

He added that farm operations and ornamental plants and flow-ers, as well as home fruit and vegetable gardens intended for human consumption will not be included as material intended for the sole purpose of feeding deer

under the deer feeding bylaw.Anyone found violating the

Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw will be committing an offense and can be fined on an escalating fine schedule; $100 for the first of-fense, $200 for the second, $500 for the third. Each day a violation occurs constitutes a new and sep-arate offense.

To view a copy of the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw 3709, 2010, please visit the City of Cran-brook website at www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Council Informa-tion & Bylaws’, under the Links list on the homepage.

Avoid feeding those deer

trevor CrAwleyThe RDEK is looking

at using money collect-ed from an existing gas tax fund to go towards the expansion of region-al broadband projects in partnership with in-ternet service providers.

“We’re really trying to work with the inter-net service providers, because we feel that this should be done by the private sector,” said Area C director Rob Gay. “Government’s got a role in trying to improve the private sector’s business case in some places.”

Gay said that, until recently, funding from the federal gas tax could only go towards a limit-ed shortlist of water or sewer projects.

“Now, what’s hap-pened is the list is quite long,” continued Gay. “It includes roads, trails, broadband and internet connectivity, so we had a discussion yesterday [Thursday] with the di-rectors to see if there was a desire to use some of that money to help bring broadband to those rural and remote communities that aren’t serviced by the big tele-coms or even the little ones.”

Gay acknowledged that there are concerns, which were raised by his fellow directors during the Electoral Area Services commit-tee meeting, that the gas tax funds are limited, and any funding should be judiciously spent.

That being said, Gay adds that the RDEK has done extensive map-ping and is aware of the

regions that don’t cur-rently have access to broadband.

There is a federal plan in place that calls for five Mbps (megabits per second), but many people only have one or one and a half Mbps, Gay said.

“Our plans for the Kootenay and Bound-ary are are lining up very closely with the federal plan, so that’s really nice,” Gay said.

“The feds are going to have a call for pro-posals this fall…it’s only going to be available to

the internet service pro-viders, so what we, as a committee, want to do is help these small busi-nesses and not-for-prof-it societies, in some cases, be ready for that call, so that’ll be anoth-er piece of our work.”

The Columbia Basin Trust and the Regional Broadband Committee, which consists of the Regional Districts of Central Kootenay, Koo-tenay Boundary, East Kootenay and Colum-bia Shuswap along with the Village of Valemount and Ktunaxa Nation

Council, recognize that collaboration is key to funding broadband ac-cess.

The committee has identified seven strate-gic goals in regard to a regional broadband strategy, which includes the five Mbps to 80 per cent of households that cannot currently access it by 2016. Priorities in-clude broadband for at-home businesses, tele-workers, students, and healthcare access through tele-medicine diagnostic and specialty care services.

RDEK eyes broadband funding partnerships

Ross said the sugges-tion of a longer school year that would contin-ue into the summer would likely cause prob-lems for the internation-al students.

“One of the things that we need to keep in mind is many of the kids already have flights booked, and so any changes to the school calendar would have an

impact for sure,” he said. “Whether that’s a big impact or not I don’t know. Any change like that would affect any-one, whether they are Canadian or interna-tional.”

But Ross said they have a wonderful group of kids this year and they are looking at a great year ahead.

“We certainly appre-

ciate our host families’ and students’ flexibility as we work through the challenges of not having school in session,” he said. “It will all sort our eventually.”

British Columbia’s 40,000 teachers went on strike two weeks before the summer break. Bar-gaining has stalled on pay, class size and levels for support staff.

Awards were handed out to the Wildfires Cycling Club out of Co-chrane, Alberta, while a couple from Oxford, England held the honour of being the competitors who traveled the farthest.

“They had friends in the area, and they came to visit them, but they coordinated it to ride in the Fondo,” said Dobie.

Other details, such as a conti-nental breakfast and a post-ride meal seemed to be a big hit with the riders, he added. The post ride wrap up also featured a concert with Barney Bentall and the Tes-ters.

As with last year’s first-ever Fondo, Dobie singled out business support as one of the key reasons for getting the successful event off

the ground.“The support of our local busi-

ness community really contrib-utes to the success of it. Their support is behind-the-scenes, but without their support, it just wouldn’t nearly have the flawless execution and the results.”

Dobie and the organizing com-mittee will now debrief and begin planning for next year’s event.

come out and cheer as RCMP offi-cers, Kootenay Ice players and members of the COTR Avalanche strut the catwalk at Tamarack Centre to raise funds for Cops for Kids.

Ticket holders can enjoy a fun-filled evening of entertainment, refreshments, and silent auction as Tamarack Centre hosts a Carni-val Style Party, Wednesday, Sept. 10.

One hundred per cent of the proceeds raised will directly ben-efit Cops for Kids, who in-turn support local kids in medical, physical or traumatic crisis.

Advance tickets are $10, and can be purchased at the Tamarack Centre Administration Office during office hours (weekdays 9 a.m.-5 p.m.). VIP tickets are avail-able again this year for $25 which gets you reserved seating, table service, special beverages and more. Regular tickets at the door will be available the night of the event for $15 each.

The Cops for Kids All Male Fashion show takes place on Wednesday, September 10, at Tamarack Centre. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 sharp! People are asked use the Dollarama Store entrance. This much anticipated fashion show

coincides with the annual 1,000 km bike ride in which RCMP offi-cers raise funds for the Cops for Kids charity throughout southern BC.

Cops for Kids are dedicated RCMP members and support people who are committed to as-sisting children that are in medi-cal, physical, or traumatic crisis within the Southern Interior Re-gion of British Columbia. The Cops for Kids charitable founda-tion was formed in 2001 and since inception have worked to raise funds to continue ongoing sup-port to children in communities that they serve. Cops for Kids are devoted to helping little hearts.

gran FondoThe Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo

2014 was an outstanding event! Every base was expertly covered: The

‘tweak’ of the Fondo route, taking riders through Kimberley’s Platzl was fun, festive and we felt like cycling Super stars!  

Hats off to the awesome aid stations run by Kimberley Rotary, Wasa Lions and the Western Financial Group.

Thank you to the registration crew, bike mechanics, highway crossing attendants, bike-check team, announcers, the-army-behind-the-scenes, and organizers extror-dinaire. Every volunteer was helpful, en-couraging and shone with enthusiastic smiles.

Kudos to Taylor Adams and every Spon-sor supporting Sunday’s “Gran” ride.

This event supports local cyclists of every level, it showcases the picturesque Kootenay Rockies, provides a healthy, eco-nomic stimulant (to Cranbrook & Kimber-ley), and raises funds that further enrich our “Kootenay World.”

A huge THANK YOU Cranbrook Rotary Sunrise, you’ve created a first-class cycling event.

The Kootenay Rockies Gran FONDO  ROCKS!

gran FondoThe second Gran Fondo was another

great success. More people are entering this well-run event and the Sunrise Rotary Club’s attention to detail makes this a most enjoyable “participaction” event.

The additions to this year’s event in-

cluded even better signage, more volun-teers giving us route directions, and regis-tration and continental breakfast at the St. Eugene Resort. It was a highlight of the day to ride through the Platzl giving us a cob-blestone experience like the Tour de France complete with cheering fans.

Thank you to all the Rotarians, spon-sors, and the many volunteers who make this incredible event possible. It was a fun day for all of us who participated and I look forward to going in it again next year.

teachers strikeThere are very few times that Norm

Macdonald and I agree on things but I have found a few exceptions. As a former teacher myself I believe in a strong public education system. I respect and value our teachers and applaud them for hard they work and the value they bring to the lives of our children. I believe that teachers de-serve an affordable raise and that our chil-dren deserve all that can possibly be given in terms of class size and composition.

That said, I find it extremely disappoint-ing that Mr. Macdonald has taken an op-portunity to politicize this serious provin-cial situation by trying to have us believe that there is a “right side and a wrong side,” that the Premier supports private over public schools and that she is “100 per cent to blame.” These statements are simply ir-responsible, inaccurate and misguiding with the expressed intent of inspiring nothing more than emotional responses from people who deserve far better.

Mr. Macdonald neglects to acknowl-edge that negotiation never labels a right or a wrong side nor will the process ever

assign blame to a single person. Mediated negotiation recognizes opposing sides and the differing opinion held and promotes collaboration as both sides work toward a mutually agreeable settlement.

His blame game neglects to mention that the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) continues to struggle with the concept of concession which is a key element of any bargaining process or that it is puzzling why the BCTF have rejected the govern-ment’s offer to reopen schools while medi-ation continues.

Disturbingly, Mr. Macdonald chose not to reference the fact that the BCTF actually refused to let teachers vote on suspending the strike during continued mediation or equally puzzling why the BCTF seems to want to force government to legislate teachers back to work knowing that this will result in the same dysfunctional rela-tionship that has been the BC experience for the past 30 years.

Mr. Macdonald does not understand that the BCTF refusal to set aside educa-tional issues that are currently before the courts and cannot be negotiated at this time, are keeping kids out of classrooms. Further he neglects to acknowledge that the BCTF wants to go back to the old ridged ratios and formulas that in the past defined class size and composition know-ing full well that no other province in Can-ada manages its classrooms this way. Why? They are inefficient, ineffective and highly discriminatory towards students with special needs.

Blame is a waste of time and takes the focus off what is most important; getting kids back into classrooms.

You mustn’t expect politicians in a democratic system to come up with ideologically pure, intellectually con-

sistent policies. Their job is to put together a winning coalition of voters who have dif-ferent and even conflicting interests, and if that requires compromises and even con-tradictions, so be it. But they must APPEAR to be consistent, and Mari-na Silva has mastered the art.

Until last month Silva was the vice-presidential candidate of the smallest of Brazil’s three main parties, a woman with a national reputation as an environ-mental activist but little prospect of high political office. President Dilma Rousseff was cruising serenely towards re-election in the first round of the elections on 5 Oc-tober, despite the fact the Brazil’s once-booming economy is in a recession. And then a small plane crashed.

Marina Silva was supposed to be on that plane, but changed her plans at the last moment. All seven people who were on board died, including the presidential candidate of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), Eduardo Campos. With the election campaign already underway, the PSB had no choice but to promote Silva in his place, and suddenly the election became a real race.

She is bright Green: her own party, which she took into coalition with the PSB, is called the Sustainability Network. Even more importantly in a country where half the population is non-white, Silva is a

“caboclo”, the mixed-race combination of native Indian, black and white that is com-mon in the Amazon. On census returns, she calls herself “black”. There has never been a serious presidential contender who was black before.

Only two weeks after Silva was chosen to replace the late Eduardo Campos, she

has tripled the PSB’s sup-port in the opinion polls. There is now almost no chance that Dilma Rous-seff will win outright in the first round of the elections. The polls predict that Silva will come second to Rous-seff in that round – and

then beat the incumbent by 47 percent to 43 percent of the votes in the run-off three weeks later.

All very well, but what would Marina Silva actually do as the president of Brazil? It’s an important question, because Brazil, the world’s fifth largest country (200 mil-lion people), is going through difficult times. Over the past 12 years the govern-ing Workers’ Party has lifted 40 million Brazilians out of poverty, but economic growth has now stalled. Many people blame the government’s highly protec-tionist policies.

Silva is a plain-speaking woman with no allegations of corruption trailing her around (as they do so many other Brazil-ian politicians), but she has been remark-ably unforthcoming on what she would do about the economy. This is because she now heads a political coalition whose major member, the PSB, is actually “busi-

ness-friendly”, as they say.Silva’s plans for the environment are

equally obscure, beyond the well-known fact that she disapproves of giant hydro-electric dams in the Amazon (and she hasn’t even cancelled any of them). She still talks like a Green, but her vice-presi-dential running mate, Beto Albuquerque, was responsible for pushing a law legalis-ing the use of genetically modified soy-beans through Congress.

She is, in other words, a “typical politi-cian” who is trimming her sails to the prevailing wind. She accepted Albuquer-que as a running mate because she needs to appeal to the agribusiness sector, which accounts for almost half of Brazil’s exports and a quarter of the economy.

Indeed, Silva’s economic platform is practically identical to that of the cen-tre-right candidate, Aecio Neves: she would end price controls and energy sub-sidies, strengthen the autonomy of the central banks, and “streamline” (i.e. cut) the federal budget. On the other hand, despite her pursuit of business support she is still strong on environmental issues in general and an end to the deforestation of the Amazon in particular.

This is not consistent, and ideologically pure Brazilian environmentalists are al-ready disappointed in her, but she has nothing to apologise for. She has put to-gether a set of policies and a coalition of supporters that are inconsistent and sometimes downright contradictory, but they may deliver her into the presidency. And that is the point of the exercise, after all: without power, policies are irrelevant.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on select-ed pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s in-sistence on mediation. First a B.C. Su-preme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the cur-rent version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minis-ter Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the pro-posal would forfeit the government’s man-date to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated set-tlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dis-pute is unlike any of the many that preced-

ed it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day pay-ment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Par-ents won’t be bribed, they want school, not

daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The

union executive, collecting their hefty sala-ries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun adver-tising tutoring services online. With dis-tance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about mov-ing to digital versions of textbooks and an-other about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C.

public school curriculum is being refash-ioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibil-ity to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-di-rected learning is Thomas Haney second-ary in Maple Ridge, where senior high stu-dents are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students look-ing for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be re-stored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbend-er said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Where in the world is water polo?Cranbrook’s Angela Johnson Linardic hopes to grow the sport in East Kootenays

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Chances are you hav-en’t thought much about water polo if you live in the East Kootenays, but a Cranbrook teacher is putting the sport on the map in the region.

Angela Johnson Li-nardic, 35, is a Grade 2 teacher at T.M. Roberts Elementary School. Originally hailing from Victoria, Johnson Linar-dic has been involved in water polo for more than 20 years, having first started playing the sport in 1992.

“You make relation-ships with not only coaches, but players and you watch them grow,” Johnson Linardic said. “You want to follow [the sport] and stay with it. Even internationally, the relationships we have with coaches in other countries, you always stay connected.”

The tight-knit com-munity feel of the sport drew Johnson Linardic from the players side into coaching in 1995 when she got her feet wet at the community level. Eventually, John-son Linardic advanced to coaching at the pro-vincial level in 2010.

In the fall of 2012, the elementary school teacher was invited to join the coaching staff for the 18-and-under (18U) women’s national water polo team.

“When they asked me, I didn’t really think twice about it,” Johnson Linardic said. “I had been involved in water polo in so many capaci-ties and levels over the years that it was the one thing I hadn’t done. It was really exciting.”

In Johnson Linardic’s second year with the program, the team com-peted at the 2014 FINA World Women’s Youth Water Polo Champion-ships in Madrid, Spain, Aug. 25 to 31. After tak-ing two pre-worlds tour-nament titles by defeat-ing Hungary and the Netherlands, the Cana-dian squad splashed its way to a silver medal in Madrid, falling to the United States in a tight-ly-contested champion-ship game that finished with a final score of 5-4.

Despite the success on the national stage, Johnson Linardic laments the fact there is little knowledge of water polo in the Cranbrook and Kimberley area.

“Unfortunately, the B.C. Water Polo Associ-ation [BCWPA] does not have a member club in the [East Kootenays] at this time,” wrote BCWPA executive director David Soul via email Monday afternoon.

“We are going to be expanding our efforts to expand throughout the province in coming years, but at the mo-ment, B.C. Water Polo

Association member-ship is concentrated in communities of the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Is-land.”

According to Soul, there are approximately 1,500 water polo play-ers, coaches and refer-ees throughout the province. But none of those happen to be in the East Kootenays.

Gabor Toth is the di-rector of development, regions, for the BCWPA. He oversees the devel-opment of the sport on a provincial level outside of the Lower Mainland.

“The number one issue is pool problems,” Toth said over the phone Monday afternoon. “None of the facilities are good enough to play proper [competitive] level water polo.”

According to Toth, a 20-by-25 metre pool that is 1.8 metres deep in its entirety is what is re-quired for high-level water polo.

Additionally, not every aquatic centre is in possession of the neces-sary equipment such as water polo caps and water polo nets.

“The plan is there to step-by-step move in the province and have water polo everywhere in a certain level,” Toth added. “Cranbrook, ba-sically on the recre-ational level and devel-opmental level.”

According to Toth,

the BCWPA has initiated one particular program to help build grassroots development opportu-nities for the sport in the province. Additionally, Water Polo Canada has created the “I Love Water Polo” program as an in-troduction to the sport for children aged eight to 12. “I Love Water Polo” does not require a full-size water polo pool and according to Toth, would be a strong introduction to the sport for the East Kootenays.

The BCWPA initiated a program in 2013 called the Elementary School Polo Cup. Any elemen-tary school recognized by the B.C. Ministry of Education was eligible to participate in the pro-gram if it had access to the necessary facilities. Unfortunately, with the on-going education la-bour dispute in the province, the BCWPA was forced to cancel the program for the 2014-15 academic year.

“We are a year be-hind,” Toth said. “We’re going to start and try to do the same thing again with a certain region. The Kamloops and Kelowna area is one of the target areas to start. If we have some success there then we can move on.”

Toth’s hope is for grassroots water polo programs to make their way into the Cranbrook and Kimberley area in

two to three years.“In Cranbrook, you

have a really talented coach [in Johnson Li-nardic],” Toth said. “If she is willing to put the time into something, you have somebody there [to coach]. But we need to have enough in-terest from the parents and kids to [institute these programs].”

According to John-son Linardic, there are small drop-in recre-ational programs in Creston and Kimberley. Typically, these pro-grams only run through the summer months.

In addition to coach-ing, Johnson Linardic continues to play water polo competitively, hav-ing earned a silver medal at the 15th FINA World Masters Champi-onships in Montreal, Que. this past summer.

Though it might be a battle fought swimming upstream, Johnson Li-nardic is hopeful pro-grass can be made in growing the sport in the East Kootenays with the support of people in the area as well as the BCWPA.

If water polo is to es-tablish roots in the re-gion, a national coach with the experience of Johnson Linardic is more than most can even dream of having. She is here and doing her part, all that’s left is for the remaining pieces to fall into place.

Nitros knot Rockies in Invermere

Kimberley Dynamiters forward Marco Campanella battles for position in front of Columbia Valley Rockies goaltender Brody Nelson Monday night.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The Kimberley Dy-namiters and Columbia Valley Rockies wrapped up the 2014 KIJHL pre-season Monday night in Invermere, bat-tling to a 4-4 draw.

Rockies forward Kyle Becker knotted the game late in the third period after the Nitros jumped out in front with two unanswered goals courtesy of Jared Marchi and Austin Hancherow to start the final frame.

The Rockies got off to a quick start at Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena, as defenceman Carter Melnyk gave the home team the advan-tage early in the first..

Kimberley forward Coy Prevost returned from suspension Mon-day and responded for the Dynamiters with a breakaway goal in the first period.

Alex Rosolowski added a second-period tally for Kimberley.

Rookie goaltender Liam McBain, a native of Tualatin, Ore., earned the start in net for the Nitros.

The Dynamiters fin-ish the 2014 KIJHL pre-season undefeated with a 2-0-2 record.

The first of two pre-season victories came Sept. 3 in Kimber-ley when the Dynamiters defeated the Rockies 6-1.

The Fernie Ghostrid-ers fell victim to the Ni-tros Sept. 5, as Kimber-ley knocked off its Eddie Mountain Division rival 5-2 in Fernie.

In a rematch in Kim-berley Sept. 6, the Dyna-miters and Ghostriders battled to a 3-3 draw.

According to general manager Dave Smith, the team is expected to make final player re-as-signments Wednesday. As it stands, the team is carrying 28 players after Prevost was returned from the Saskatoon Blades late last week. It is expected the squad will be reduced to 23 players prior to the regular sea-son opener Saturday night.

The Nitros host the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Sept. 13 at the Kim-berley Civic Centre to open the 2014 KIJHL regular season. Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m.

Dear Annie: I cannot stand to be around my mother-in-law. Since the day I mar-ried, “MIL” has been telling my wife and me how to live our lives. She issues opin-ions on everything from how to raise our dog and decorate our house to how to par-ent our baby. We can’t go one visit without her making numerous suggestions. I have discussed this with my wife many times to no avail. I don’t feel it is my place to set her mother straight. I’ve told my wife that unless she speaks to her mom about her need to run our lives, nothing will ever change How do I get my wife to understand that I don’t want to deal with this anymore? It stresses me out so much that I’m almost willing to end our marriage in order to get away from my mother-in-law. Please help. -- Frustrated in North Carolina Dear North Carolina: Mom needs better boundaries, but unless your wife agrees, you aren’t going to get anywhere. Please don’t grant your mother-in-law so much importance. She has opinions. You don’t have to take them seriously. Practice nod-ding and ignoring her. When she comes over, welcome her warmly and then leave the room. It’s the type of diplomacy that married couples have practiced for cen-turies. Your wife will appreciate your gra-ciousness, and you’ll calm down. Dear Annie: I have a friend -- well, now she’s an ex-friend -- who would go to a restaurant and, no matter what she or-dered, ask for extra this, extra that. If they provided rolls, she would eat one and ask for more. She would ask for a doggie bag and load it with everything on the table. It was embarrassing. I once asked whether she was going to take the salt and pepper shakers, hoping she would get the hint. If I had leftovers on my plate, she would ask to take them. Once, when I left the table, she had the waiter take the potato skin from my plate and box it up. That was the last straw. Her excuse was that she couldn’t waste food, but honestly, her dog needs my po-tato skin? I refuse to be an enabler of this odd behavior, so I no longer go to restau-rants with her. This woman never starved growing up. She has no money problems. She has a good job, owns her own home and has two cars. Is this connected to hoarding? She also has never invited me into her house. Whenever I picked her up, she was wait-ing outside. She only has friends for a short while and then stops calling them, claiming they have mental problems. Why would she behave this way? -- Odd Behav-ior Dear Odd: It’s possible your friend has a compulsive disorder that makes her take things from restaurants, and it could also tie in with her not wanting you to enter her home. It’s also possible she has financial problems or a gambling addiction or some other reason for needing table scraps. We don’t know. But we do think your friend has issues she doesn’t want other people to be aware of, and when someone gets too close, she cuts off the friendship. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lone-ly Mother,” who said her children married and stopped visiting. I married three years ago. I, too, didn’t visit my parents very often after that mar-riage. Here’s why: I was raised to believe it was rude to invite myself over. So I’d call to say hi, but was politely waiting for an invi-tation that didn’t come. A year after my marriage, my mother commented that I rarely visit. I told her I was waiting to be invited. She was stunned. She never considered that possibility be-cause I am her daughter and am welcome anytime. Once this was cleared up, I start-ed visiting more. -- Love My Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime ed-itors of the Ann Landers column.

NelsonMay 15, 1989 -

September 9, 2012God only takes the best!

A heart of gold stopped beating,Two shining eyes at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove,He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you,the day He took you home.

My heart still aches in sadness,and secret tears still fl ow.What it means to lose you,

No one will ever know.Forever loved, forever missed.

Grandma Jean Pascuzzo & Great Aunts & Uncles

At the age of 82, Murray passed on in his home sur-rounded by many of those he loved. He is treasured by his wife Lucille, his children, and his many friends. We grieve the loss of a generous husband, caring father, patient grandfather, and kind friend.

Despite the palliative diagnosis of cancer, Murray’s positive attitude and sense of humour prolonged his life. With the support of the B.C. Cancer Agency (Center for the North), UHNBC, Mackenzie and District Hospital, and the wonderful caring people that he met during his journey, he was able to maintain an incredible quality of life until very near the end. Murray was grateful for all the people he met during his numerous medical pro-cedures.

Born in Kimberley, Murray moved around Canada as his father was employed by Cominco. Murray begrudgingly attended many one room school houses in numerous mining towns. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the Can-adian Air Force and was stationed in Moose Jaw where he completed his service. While stationed there, Murray met and married his first wife, Marion in 1955. They had two children, Phil and Patti. Marion passed on in 1991.

After the services, Murray worked and became a long term employee of Cominco. He worked in Trail at the smelter and then at the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley. Murray purchased a trapline in 1980 in the Misinchinka Valley and prepared to pursue his lifelong dream of self-reliance, which was to live full time on a trapline. In 1986 he retired to the trapline at the age of 55.

In 1993, Murray married Lucille Dugan, a longtime resi-dent of McLeod Lake, B.C. While at first overwhelmed by her four children, Julie-Ann, Diane, Roger, and Martin, close relationships soon developed.

Together they enjoyed living life to the fullest.

A celebration of life was held on Saturday, August 30, 2014 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Mackenzie, BC. Any donations in memory of Murray can be made to Canuck Place or to a charity of your choice.
