The Friends of the Public Library Society is preparing for one of its biggest fundraisers of the year – the Fall Book Sale. The sale starts Wednesday, Oct. 2 and runs until Oct. 6. It will be held at the Ktunaxa Gymnasium. For the sale the Friends partner with the Sunrise Rotary Club and split the pro-ceeds equally.

Last year, the Friends portion was $7,000, which went back into the library; this year it could be even more.

“We expected over 10,000 books and I would say we have more donations this year than ever before,” said Mari-lyn Forbes, past-presi-dent of the Friends of the Library and director of the book sale.

It’s Cookie Week in Cranbrook once again. On Monday, Sept. 23, Tim Hortons restaurant owners in Cranbrook launched the Smile Cookie Campaign — proceeds from sales of special smiling chocolate chunk cookies throughout the week are being donated to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health and the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary. The $1 treat helps charities, hospitals and community programs across Canada in the cities where they are sold. For EKFH and CHCA this means the oppor-tunity to purchase two reclining phlebotomy chairs for the Ambulatory Care Department and a broda chair for the third floor at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Volunteers are out in force selling the cookies — at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, they managed to sell 456 cookies on day one of the campaign and received over $50 in donations. The cookies will be on sale at the hospital all week, so check it out. Pictured above are Audrey Bleaney, Betty Nakahara, Barb Barbour and Bev Daniels, all volunteers with the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary.

Annual book binge is back

The federal govern-ment has announced its plan to sell two pieces of coal-rich land in the Elk Valley.

The Dominion Coal Blocks, known locally as Lot 73 and Lot 82, are large parcels of land east of Fernie that have be-longed to the Govern-ment of Canada since 1905.

But last month, Nat-ural Resources Canada announced its plans to

sell the properties.“When I got to Otta-

wa in 2011 it was one of my first projects, to see if we could divest of the coal blocks because they are of no value to the federal government from the perspective of natural extraction,” said Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks. “The only way it is going to work is for companies to be able to bid on them and hopefully obtain the coal that is in them.”

CAROLYN GRANTDaily Bulletin

“4,175 individuals were pro-vided food from food banks in the Columbia Basin in March 2012. To put this into context, food banks across the Colum-bia Basin provided food to a population equivalent to 50 per cent the size of Kimberley and

surrounding area. This hap-pens every month in the Co-lumbia Basin.”

This is the opening state-ment in a study commissioned by the Golden Food Bank to look at food banks in the Co-lumbia Basin. Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, the study took an in-depth look at

food banks in this area, what their unique challenges are, and how they could work to-gether to support each other.

This week at the Kimberley Conference Centre, 11 of 19 food banks — including Kim-berley and Cranbrook — in the Basin met to talk about the study and to learn from each

other. The conference was orga-

nized by the Golden Food Bank, but held in Kimberley as a central point in the valley in order to facilitate as many peo-ple being able to attend as pos-sible.

2013, you can join Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) and Cranbrook & District Community Foundation at their Open House as they celebrate the opening of their new co-loca-tion.

The Cranbrook & District Community Foundation is a local-ly-run public founda-

tion that builds and manages endowment funds to support chari-table activities in our community. In turn it enhances the quality of life for area residents.

Big Brothers Big Sis-ters began in Cran-brook in 1977. For over 35 years it has been providing quality men-toring programs for children and youth and currently supports over

100 children in Cran-brook, Kimberley and surrounding area.

Please join us from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Fri-day, Sept. 27, at Suite 250 - 2nd floor, 100 Cranbrook Street North (Access Centre). It will be a great opportunity for the community to come down and check out our new digs, learn about what we do and enjoy some good food!

Bellies to Babies says: How do you like them apples?

Cranbrook Community Foundation, BBBS now under the same roof

As harvest season rolls on, a local infants agency is offering the pick of the Okanagan or-chards as a fundraising

initiative.On October 6, Bellies

to Babies will bring in a truckload of fresh am-brosia apples from an Okanagan orchard for Cranbrook residents to

crunch into.“To me, I think am-

brosias are the best eat-ing apple. They’re not designed to be a cooking apple, but they are by far the best eating apple

going. I just think they’re fabulous,” said Pat Chisholm, Bellies to Ba-bies coordinator.

It’s the second year Bellies to Babies has run the fundraiser, in collab-

oration with the United Way of Cranbrook and Kimberley. Those or-dering apples can choose whether their funds go directly to Bel-lies to Babies within the United Way, or to gener-al United Way fundrais-ing.

Last year, about 60 boxes of ambrosia ap-ples were sold in Cran-brook, totalling 1,500 pounds. It raised about $800.

The apples are picked less than a week before they are delivered.

“Compared to a lot of what else you buy, that’s pretty fresh,” Pat said, adding that they keep well, too.

A 20-pound box of apples is $25; a 10-pound bag is $13. Order apples before October 1 to be sure you don’t miss out.

To place an order, email pchisholm_bb@

hotmail.com, phone 250-489-5011, or fax an order form to 250-489-5905. Order forms can be picked up at Cran-brook Family Connec-tions.

On Monday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., some of the apples will be for sale outside the United Way office on Baker Street in Cran-brook. There, you can pick up smaller bags of apples.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Dominion Coal Blocks were acquired by the federal government in 1905 as part of an agreement between the Canadian government and the railway compa-nies that established the Crowsnest Pass rail route.

“The federal govern-ment has owned the land since that time and over the years they have come to realize that it does have potential value for natural re-source extraction. With them owning it, they are not in the business of doing natural resource extraction,” said MP Wilks.

Lot 73 is a 2,000 hect-are parcel located northeast of Fernie, next to Teck’s Coal Mountain operations.

“(Lot 73) does make sense for (Teck) because it’s between Coal Moun-tain and Martin Wheel-er – it’s kind of plopped in between there, so they would probably have an interest in Lot 73,” explained Wilks.

Much larger, Lot 82 covers 18,000 hectares further south of Lot 73, between the Elk River and Flathead River wa-tersheds.

The Dominion Coal Blocks, owned by the federal government since 1905, will soon be offered to mining companies.

The Rocky Mountain Nat-uralists invited naturalists from all over B.C. to come to Cranbrook as they hosted the B.C. Nature fall general meeting. As well as the actu-al meeting, there was also three days worth of events going on, from birding at Elizabeth Lake to reintro-ducing Northern Leopard Frogs into their historic range at Bummer’s Flats.

Daryl Calder, a member of the local naturalists said there were 100 registrants for the events.

“A lot of people hadn’t been to the East Kootenay before,” he said. Each group has found unique ways to deal with things. “We ap-proach some things differ-ently than other groups, we have different issues.”

Calder noted that in the East Kootenay there are an abundance of stakeholders all vying for a spot in the area

and a different goal. “It lends itself to more

discussion in depth to get to the heart of the issue,” he said.

The theme of the confer-ence was Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, to signify the land, air, fires and the rivers and streams.

“The presenters and the field trips were absolutely fantastic,” said Greg Ross, member of the naturalists and B.C. Nature. Ross was especially impressed with the organization of the non-profit society and the quality of the speakers pre-sentations.

“”We did try to focus on a spiritual element here,” he said. “It’s not a religious doc-trine, it’s the spirit of nature – everything’s connected. We wanted to show how ev-erything is connected be-tween earth, wind, fire and water.”

He said that each present-er complemented the pre-

sentations of the others in that sense.

Those presentations in-cluded ‘Air Quality Vital to Life’ with Ingrid Liepa, ‘Ktu-naxa Creation Story’ with Joe Pierre, ‘Native Plants of the Cranbrook Community Forest’ with Mike Keefer, ‘Ecosystem Restoration in the Rocky Mountain Trench’ with Randy Harris, a key-note by nature photogra-pher Brian Clarkson, and many more.

Ross noted that well-known local naturalist Art Gruenig had a presentation on 20 years of bluebird mon-itoring. After touring the group around Gruenig took them down to Elizabeth Lake to show them a turtle nest with turtles in it.

Other big topics at the meeting were loss of habitat, pipeline and mining issues.

“We all realized that this oil has to be sold someplace and trying to figure out the best way to do it with the

least amount of damage,” Ross noted on the proposed Enbridge pipeline.

“Every step of the way we’re going to be protesting, but it’s not because we don’t

want it to happen. We realize it’s going to have to happen. But there has to be thought put into it and input by all the people to express their concerns and this has to be remedied.”

He said the naturalists hope to be made a stake-holder in issues like the pipe-line.

“We can offer solutions for what is the best practice to go through grasslands and restore it after,” Calder said. “It may well be more expen-sive, but in the long run it may actually be an enhance-ment.”

Another issue has been an expansion of protected areas without funding to ac-tually manage them.

“Compared to the ‘60s and ‘70s the budget has ab-solutely gone completely down,” Ross said. “At one time we used to have inter-pretive centres in every pro-vincial park. Now it’s all done on a volunteer basis.”

Some of Lot 82 falls inside the contentious Flathead Valley. Envi-ronmental groups have long called for protec-tion of the Flathead, say-ing it is important wil-derness for water quali-ty and wildlife popula-tions.

In 2010, the B.C. gov-ernment and Canadian government signed an agreement with the state of Montana and

the United States gov-ernment to protect the Flathead, which is adja-cent to the Water-ton-Glacier Internation-al Peace Park, a desig-nated World Heritage Site.

In November 2011, the B.C. government passed the Flathead Wa-tershed Conservation Act, which bans mining and oil and gas activity in the Flathead.

According to MP Wilks, the portion of Lot 82 that lies in the Flat-head will not be part of the sale of the Coal Blocks.

“Lot 82 has been subdivided so that the part of Lot 82 that drains into the Flathead is pro-tected and cannot be mined,” said Wilks.

But environmental groups continue to work for a national park in the

Flathead.“While details

around the planned sale are not yet clear, we are encouraged that the federal government has confirmed that portions of the coal blocks over-lapping with the Flat-head River watershed will not be included in the sale, and that dis-cussions with the prov-ince are under way to ensure the protection of the entire watershed from development,” said John Bergenske, Wildsight.

“The Dominion Coal Block lands in the Flat-head are critical for the integrity of the water-shed as a whole. Al-though this announce-ment is promising, we need these areas to be legally protected under the existing ban on min-ing and energy develop-ment,” said Peter Wood of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society.

“We remain con-cerned that coal ex-traction adjacent to the Flathead will jeopardize connectivity in the lon-gest remaining wildlife corridor on continent,” said Wendy Francis, Yukon to Yellowstone Conservation Initiative.

Now that the govern-ment of Canada has an-nounced its plans to di-

vest the Dominion Coal Blocks, it has set the process in motion.

“It was certainly a challenge for the federal government to deal with all of the bureaucracy that comes along with it but I’m glad to see they got through it,” said MP Wilks.

The government is engaged in consultation with the Ktunaxa, the B.C. government and other key stakeholders. Then mining compa-nies will have the op-

portunity to bid on piec-es of the land.

Wilks said the sale will benefit the East Kootenay, as communi-ties will be able to col-lect mining tax from the operations.

“When a mining company invests in nat-ural resource extraction, they are subject to Class 4 taxation, which allows for a municipality to tax the said company for the extraction. That is already established,” he said.

Donations are taken year-round, and added to that are discards from the library itself.

“People can just take their books to the circulation desk in the library,” Forbes said.

They take almost every type of book except encyclopedias, since they don’t sell and are heavy for the volun-teers to lug around.

Pocket books in mystery and fic-tion categories are best-sellers, but only comprise a part of the overall books on sale.

“We have 40 different categories in that book sale,” she said. “It goes from cooking history to gardening to travel, poetry, new releases.”

There’s also a children’s section with assorted categories as well as other media such as CDs and books on tape.

“The Friends always use their money to buy new reading material for the library and Sunrise Rotary al-ways uses theirs for their projects in the community,” she explained.

The event has been going on for 14

years now. The Friends of the Cran-brook Public Library themselves have been around since 1998. Their man-date is to raise funds for the library as well as promote the services of the li-brary. They apply for grants, fundraise and help with library events as much as they can.

The sale starts next Wednesday, but a membership to the Friends is required to be among the first perus-ers. A membership can be purchased at the door for $10 and the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Membership also includes a 10 per cent discount.

On Thursday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and no member-ship is necessary.

On Friday and Saturday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On Sunday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes the bag sale. Bring your Friends of the Public Library bag and fill it for $4, or one can be purchased and filled for $5.

The Ktunaxa Gym is located in the former Tembec building at 220 – Cranbrook Street North, right across from the Cranbrook Public Library.

Barb Davies from the Golden Food Bank says a lot can be learned from the study.

“We learned that there is a huge amount of diversity in terms of how food banks in this area operate. But we do face common challenges. It seemed a good idea to bring food banks together to see how we can work together.”

The conference, also funded by CBT, is the first gathering of Basin food banks. While many volunteers from area food banks do attend the annual Food Bank BC conference, they may find they don’t have an awful lot in common with large food banks in areas like Surrey, where there may be 200 people lined up for assistance in the morning.

“We are really excited to have Basin food banks together,” Davies said.

Although the conference is region-al, the executive director of Food Banks BC, Laura Lansink, attended.

Lansink says the Food Banks of the

Columbia Basin study confirms what is happening throughout the prov-ince, and there is reason for optimism as well as concern over hunger.

“What are we doing about hunger? What is the future of food banks? This report highlights some things that are disturbing, shocking, but it is also en-couraging to see how hard these peo-ple are working to make a difference.

“Across B.C. we serve 97,000 peo-ple, 29 per cent of them are children.”

Davies says numbers in the Basin are holding steady after reaching a peak in 2008 at the height of the reces-sion. Unfortunately, they haven’t fall-en from that peak.

“B.C. on average has the worst pov-erty rate, the second worst child pov-erty rate,” Linsink said. “One in seven children live below the poverty line. Think about that. Three or four kids in each classroom. In a small school with ten classes, that’s 30 or 40 children who live under the poverty line. When you compare lunches with the haves and the have-nots, it’s very painful. We are not doing very well in B.C.”

“Linguists studying the lyrics used by singer Quasimodo have yet to decide what language he uses.”

“A coupla things bothered me in the paper last week.” Ralphie was having a mumble. He was

lolling there looking like the only living person being treated for rigor mortis and not one of us was bothering to listen.

George had recently de-cided that Gwynne Dyer (who writes in this very paper) was right about Syria, and nothing could be done about the situation, but Ralphie was off again; he was ranting on about Alice Cooper com-ing to town. I had to be reminded who Alice Cooper was. Had I taught her in school?

After I had been straightened out, Ral-phie told us what was upsetting him. He said, “Alice Cooper is coming to town. I am real sure some folk will get all wound up and spend a packet to watch this per-formance, which might possibly include guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, and even baby dolls. I can scarcely suppress my enthusiasm; I won-der if he’ll play Welcome to my Night-mare.”

But I was reminiscing: When my very old friend Pete and I meet, as we do fre-

quently, we get into very confusing con-versations as we’re both apt to forget what the subject at hand happens to be. We are of an age and therefore likely to agree but, when it comes to music, we both love jazz and swing, but we have a big difference of opinion. Pete has always enjoyed travel-

ling in order to watch bands playing. Maybe that is because he is a musician. I, however, would rather not watch the perfor-mance. I was brought up listening to music. I heard the big swing bands on the British Broadcasting Com-

pany or the American Forces Network but was disillusioned when I first saw them. The Andrews Sisters sounded great but their skinny legs bothered me when they tried to prance around to The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, and Nellie Lutcher, whose voice I adored, was a real let down when I saw her on film. Music, I am posi-tive, is to be listened to, not watched. I, personally, shall not bother to go to see Alice Cooper; anyway, I probably won’t be able to understand what she/he sings.

George was more interested in the piece in the paper about lower local speed limits on scooters and motorized wheel-chairs. He reckons he might be forced into one soon, especially if he’s cornered into taking a driving test. Old folk are apt to get pounced upon by the government, even if

they haven’t fallen asleep at the wheel or driven through the front door of the su-permarket. We elderly gentlefolk worry about this sort of thing.

I, personally, worry about losing my driving licence and being forced into driv-ing an electric buggy. They’re slow enough, and now various authorities want to limit the speed at which they can be driven. If I can no longer drive my pick-up, I ask myself, how the devil am I going to get up for walks in the mountains?

Imagine the performance should I de-cide to take a hike up even a gentle stroll like Lakit lookout. It’ll take half a day to get to Fort Steele, then I’ll probably be forced to re-charge the battery. After that, it’s going to be a rough ride up the Wildhorse road and then even worse up the old Koo-tenay Base Metals Mine Road to the start of the trail. I wonder if I’ll be forced to pack an extra battery for the ride down. George reckons I could use the one from my pace-maker, ha ha!

Anyway, after I’ve puffed up to the cabin at the top and then tottered down again I’ll have that tedious ride down to Fort Steele where I’ll need more than a battery re-charged.

No! We old folk don’t need to be limited in our movements any more than nature has done to us. What we’re going to need are faster, more efficient wheel-chairs with no speed limits.

I bet Alice Cooper will agree.

TORONTO - Watching from high above the ice, Mark Fraser knew almost immediately that David Clarkson was in trouble.

When he and his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates saw Clarkson jump over the bench to join the brawl with the Buffalo Sabres, Fraser figured a suspen-sion was coming. The NHL gave Clarkson an automatic 10-game suspension, just as everyone ex-pected.

“It’s just one of the rules,” Fra-ser said. “It’s just an unfortunate circumstance, but we’ll all take the reality of it for what it is.”

The reality is that the Leafs now face major roster questions at the start of the regular season. They’ll have to find a way to re-place Clarkson in the lineup Oct. 1 at Montreal without the aid of extra cap space because his $5.25-million hit will continue to count for the length of the sus-pension.

The Leafs caught a break that forward Phil Kessel was suspend-ed only the rest of the pre-season and no regular-season games for his slashes on Sabres enforcer John Scott. Had the cap-strapped Leafs been forced to find a re-placement for Kessel as well, things could have gotten dicey.

Injuries to Frazer McLaren (broken finger), Colton Orr (leg bone bruise) and Dave Bolland (groin) already complicate the situation, even though coach Randy Carlyle expects Bolland to play again during the pre-sea-son.

Even assuming Bolland is ready for the season opener, Clarkson’s suspension opens up a spot for someone like Trevor Smith, Troy Bodie or Carter Ash-ton.

“When somebody’s out of the lineup, there’s an opportunity for somebody else to fill that spot,” Carlyle said. “We have young kids that have had (an) extended number of games in the exhibi-tion schedule here, and we’re going to continue to take a look at them.”

With Clarkson out, Carlyle ac-

knowledged that the Leafs have a “shortage” of right-wingers. He pointed to players like Josh Leivo and Jamie Devane as possibili-ties, adding that he hadn’t asked Mason Raymond about playing the right side.

Raymond, who signed a $1-million, one-year deal Mon-day after he went to camp on a professional tryout, said he played all three forward posi-tions at times while with the Van-couver Canucks. The speedy winger’s versatility could prove valuable to the Leafs in the first month of the season.

“There’s advantages and dis-advantages, I think, to both sides,” Raymond said. “I don’t think it’s too much to adjust to. It’s a lot of communication be-tween your teammates and your-self in your end on who’s the first guy back. But I wouldn’t see that being a problem.”

It would be a bigger problem if the Leafs are pressed into a sit-uation that includes two or three AHL-level players in the open-ing-night lineup. But they could be facing just that after Sunday night’s brawl.

Teammates refused to blame Clarkson for leaving the bench to come to the aid of Kessel, who was being challenged by the six-foot-eight Scott.

The Kootenay Ice have pared down their roster to 23 players, reas-signing veteran Jordyn Boyd to a Jr. A team to be determined, on Tuesday afternoon.

Boyd, a 19-year-old left-winger, has played two seasons in the WHL, first as a rookie with the Everett Silvertips, before coming up to the Ice via an off-season trade a year ago.

In 121 career WHL games, Boyd tallied 25 points with 15 goals and 10 assists.

A native of Winnipeg, Boyd is the younger brother of Dustin Boyd, a professional hockey player competing over-seas in the KHL in Ka-zakhstan. The elder Boyd played under Ice head coach Ryan McGill

in the AHL a few years ago.

Boyd’s departure leaves 13 forwards on the roster, eight defencemen and two goaltenders. The Ice are still awaiting the arrival of Russian im-port defenceman Rinat Valiev, who is awaiting a Canadian visa.

Hudson Elynuik, Matthew Alfaro, and Zach Zborosky are the remaining forward pros-pects held over from training camp, while Troy Murray, Dylan Overdyk and Jordan Steenbergen are fighting for spots on the blue line.

NEW YORK - Buffalo Sabres coach Ron Rolston has been fined by the NHL for his role in Sunday’s brawl with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The NHL said Rolston was fined for “player selection and team con-duct” after putting six-foot-eight en-forcer John Scott on the ice after a fight between Toronto’s Jamie Dev-ane and Buffalo’s Corey Tropp. In its

news release announcing the fine, the league said Scott “initiated an al-tercation” with Leafs forward Phil Kessel.

The amount of Rolston’s fine was not disclosed.

Because the Leafs were at home, coach Randy Carlyle had the last change. He said he put Kessel’s line on the ice to diffuse the situation after Devane and Tropp fought.

NFL hops the pond, will play in UKPAUL LOGOTHETIS

Associated Press

LONDON - The NFL is back in London boasting the star power of Adrian Peterson and Ben Roethlisberger. Trouble is, their teams have nothing to brag about.

The Minnesota Vi-kings and Pittsburgh Steelers are both 0-3 heading into Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadi-um, and a fourth loss will all but put the play-offs out of reach for one of them.

The first of two regu-lar-season NFL games is

expected to be a sellout despite the teams’ cur-rent woes.

“It doesn’t bother me. I love the atmo-sphere,” said Rachel Green, who with hus-band Matt has been to all six of the NFL games played at Wembley. “I prefer it to be close, which it will more likely be with them both 0-3.”

As of Tuesday, about 84,000 tickets had been sold, with only singles and premium seats still up for grabs.

The Vikings arrived in London on Tuesday and were already mix-

ing with local school-children and fans as part of the duties of the designated home team. The Steelers arrive Fri-day.

All eyes will be on Peterson, the Vikings running back, and Ro-ethlisberger, the Steel-ers quarterback, as they look to lead their clubs to victory with their sea-sons teetering on the brink. Minnesota lost 31-27 to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, while the Steelers fell 40-23 to the Chicago Bears.

“These are two teams that the U.K. crowd have not seen be-fore and you have star power with the Vikings in Adrian Peterson and, with the Steelers, you have one of the most successful franchises in NFL history,” NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood said. “What you want is a very competitive game, and you know you are going to get it with both teams going after a must-win.”

The New England

Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos are among the teams that have played in London since the In-ternational Series was launched. The New York Giants’ victory over the Miami Dolphins in the inaugural 2007 game helped turn their season around en route to winning the Super Bowl.

The Vikings went 10-6 last season and made the playoffs, while the Steelers finished 8-8. When they were se-lected to play in Lon-don, no one could have expected they would be a combined 0-6 heading into this week’s game.

“For me, the chance to see a team as storied and famous as the Steelers is a big draw,” said 30-year-old Matt Green, who counts the Green Bay Packers as his favourite team. “It’ll be interesting to see how a franchise that has been challenging year in, year out will cope with the difficulties they’ve been facing re-cently.”

Riders brave weather for Six in Stix

Tre vor Cr awleySports Editor

Though the weather wasn’t exactly ideal, cy-clists braved the inter-mittent rain squalls through six hours of trail riding at the Six in the Stix race on Sunday at the College of the Rockies.

Riders hit the 11.9 km trail through the com-munity forest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in six straight hours of riding, with the goal of completing as many laps as possible within the six-hour win-dow.

It’s was fourth annual instalment of the event, co-hosted by Charlie Cooper of RM Events and Favorit Cycles.

“It went really well,” said Cooper, “It exceeded my expectations, just based on registration in early September, num-bers were quite low and it was nice that they did climb throughout all of September.

“…We didn’t get too wet, we had a couple showers and the rest of the time it was okay.”

It was a two-day event, with the kids races on Saturday, before the adults hit the course on Sunday. The kids were split up into three divi-sions, with a 15-minute race on the pavement for the toddlers, and a short 30-minute and 60-min-ute trail course for the older youths.

“We had 68 children take part in three differ-ent types of races, so that was pretty cool,” Cooper added.

“On Sunday we had the largest field yet for the Six in the Stix for the adults, and the race seemed like, from my perspective and what other people said, it ran quite smoothly.”

The course was the same as last year, and Cooper said it got high marks from the competi-tors.

“For people that like their mountain biking, there’s some flatter, flowy, twisty trails, com-bined with a couple chal-lenging uphills, where probably a good portion

of people do push that shorter section uphill,” Cooper said.

“Then there’s some semi-technical descents where you definitely have to be on your toes.”

Riders had to make their way through the upper part of the College of the Rockies parking lot as part of the transition area, which served as the hub of the race.

“It’s a pretty neat event, with the relay teams doing exchanges, just such a nice atmo-sphere at the staging area,” said Cooper, “we got the music pumping and people hanging out and cheering, and the barbecue from the Wild-horse Cycling Club.”

Kalvin Klassen served as the DJ and musician, the Wildhorse Cycling Club served up a barbe-cue, and the Cranbrook Community Forest Soci-ety was out as well.

Cooper also sends a big shout-out to sponsors and volunteers who helped make it a success-ful event.

BALTIMORE - The Toronto Blue Jays eliminated Baltimore from the playoff hunt Tuesday night, using two clutch RBI singles by Mark DeRosa to beat the Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings.

Baltimore’s sixth straight loss, combined with Cleveland’s comeback win over the Chicago White Sox, left the Orioles six games behind the Indians for the final wild-card slot with five games left.

DeRosa singled in the tying run in the eighth in-ning and put the Blue Jays ahead in the 10th.

Sergio Santos (1-1) worked a perfect ninth and Casey Janssen got three outs for his 34th save.

Jose Reyes drew a one-out walk in the Toronto 10th off Francisco Rodriguez (2-1) and Munenori Kawasaki singled. Reyes appeared to be picked off second but was called safe, drawing Orioles manag-er Buck Showalter out to argue the call. Brett Lawrie then hit into a fielder’s choice and DeRosa singled to right.

Grade 10 student Ann Makosinski has won acclaim for her flashlight pow-ered by body heat.

C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A 15-year-old Victoria stu-dent who invented a flashlight powered by body heat is one of the big winners at Google’s annual international science fair.

Ann Makosinski won in the 15-16 age catego-ry, beating out thou-sands of other budding young scientists from around the world.

The “Hollow Flash-light’’ runs off the heat of

the hand holding it, using special tiles that generate electricity from the heat flow between the palm on one side and the ambient air on the other.

Makosinski says she wants to reduce the number of batteries being discarded into the environment, and was inspired by her visits to small villages in the Philippines, where she knows many kids don’t have electricity for lights

that would let them study at home.

The Grade 10 student at St. Michael’s Universi-ty in Victoria says she will explore more ways to use the technology to reduce battery use, in-cluding possibly in med-ical devices.

Makosinski received the good news and a $25,000 scholarship with four other winners at a gala ceremony in California on Monday night.

MARk ThIESSENAssociated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 28-year-old British adventurer became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, arriv-ing late Monday at a small town in the Aleutian Islands after 150 days at sea.

“I have had some of the most intense and memorable months of my life out on the Pacific. It has been brilliant and brutal at the same time,’’ Sarah Outen said in a statement. “And it has been a privilege.’’

Outen celebrated with a bot-tle of champagne in Adak, Alas-ka, and greeted community members and supporters, her first human contact in nearly five months, as first reported by the Anchorage Daily News.

She left Choshi, Japan, on April 27 and was at sea for 6,034 kilometres. It is part of her plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell, kayak and bike.

“I have pushed myself to my absolute limits both physically and mentally to make land here in Alaska, and body and mind are now exhausted,’’ she said.

On Monday afternoon, Outen came within a half mile of the Alaska shore before winds and currents started pushing her onto the rocks. Her support team decided it was safer to tow her into Adak’s small boat harbour.

On the row, she battled dan-gerous seas, and her boat, Happy

Socks, capsized five times. In the last few days, she almost hit a cargo ship after her radar failed, and battled cooling tempera-tures and increasing darkness.

Outen also tweeted about whiteout fog and exhaustion-in-duced hallucinations in the final, treacherous miles to Adak, the newspaper reported.

But for Outen, who has a biol-ogy degree from Oxford Univer-sity, seeing wildlife like albatross and whales made up for all the uncomfortable moments. Ac-cording to the statement, the highlight was a shark circling her as she rowed.

Along the way, she also got engaged to her longtime girl-friend back home during a satel-

lite phone call from the middle of the ocean.

She had initially wanted to row from Japan to Canada, but the punishing weather caused a course change to Alaska.

Next spring, she plans to re-turn to Adak with a teammate, Justin Curgenven, to continue the kayak trip to mainland Alas-ka. She will then bike across Canada and North America be-fore attempting a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom.

Outen’s first attempt at the crossing ended in 2012 when she and another ocean rower had to be rescued near Japan after their boats were badly damaged in a tropical storm.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You naturally are drawn to the most unexpected situations. The question is: Which way do you go? The answer will emerge quickly, as you are not one for waiting. Understand that many people see you manifest your desires like lightning. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take a look at what is going on within your immediate circle. Understand what is taking place behind the scenes with a money matter. You might sense some deception. If that is the case, go for a holding position rather than cause yourself a bigger problem. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll beam in more of what you want in order to make a situation work. Fatigue might be the only obstacle preventing you from bringing others together to gain the support that you think you need. You might choose to continue, regardless. Tonight: Ease the pace a bit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Everyone has days when they don’t feel quite up to snuff. Why would you be any different? Al-low yourself to call out of work for the day. If you already aren’t working, play it low-key. Take this time to revitalize and do what you want for a change. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to see a situa-tion evolve to a new level. It is your focused energy that will take it there. Be sure to take your time, and sift through each possibility to the same end. Trust yourself to find the most ap-propriate method to get there. Tonight: Share your ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Visualize and create a better platform from which to work, whether you are a boss or an employee. You will find that your effectiveness will be en-hanced, and others will respond in a more authentic manner. To-night: Discuss a grievance with a wise family member or friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to gather the facts

and see what is missing will help you as well as others. You’ll weigh the pros and cons of an is-sue, but know that the outcome will be positive. You have time to fill in the blanks. Someone’s criticism might just be jealousy. Tonight: In the limelight. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to news, and ask for a friend’s perspective. You might opt to go along with this per-son’s thinking. You could be surprised by the way events play out as a result. When allowed to wander, your mind will come up with amazing scenarios! To-night: Togetherness works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be taken aback by a situation that is developing. Maintain a sense of humor. You will be happier as a result, and you also will gain a new per-spective with ease. Understand what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Listen to others’ “war stories” of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your caring yet methodical manner creates change quickly. Realize what is happening with-

in your circle of friends. Some-one might be angry, and this person is likely to toss a boulder in your way. Do not take his or her reaction personally. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will go directly toward a cre-ative option that appears quite suddenly. Finding out what is workable could test your limits. You might be holding back your feelings, whereas someone else isn’t. Do not engage this person. Tonight: How about some fun? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Being centered at home might be a higher priority than it normally would be, as much pressure seems to emanate from others’ demands. You will make an effort to be responsive, but you are only human. Stay somewhat unavailable, and screen your calls. Tonight: Stay anchored. BORN TODAY Actor Michael Douglas (1944), journalist Barbara Walters (1929), artist Mark Rothko (1903)

Dear Annie: I have been married for 15 years. My husband and I still live under the same roof (for convenience), but we have drifted our separate ways. The prob-lem is, our teenage son cannot stand to be in the same room with his father. All they do is argue, and my husband pouts like a baby, bottom lip and all. I have asked our son to try to ignore Dad in order to keep the peace, but it is getting worse. This man, who wanted to have a child, has spent little time with our son over the years. When I was working and he had to watch our son, he would have his parents come over, and then he and his father would leave, letting my moth-er-in-law babysit. On weekends, he man-aged never to be home. Now that our son is older, my husband thinks he has a personal slave to do all the yard work and dishes and put his stuff away when he comes home. Also, he and Grandpa have no qualms about pointing out what this kid does wrong, badgering him about it and never mentioning the things he does well. I have had it. I don’t want my son to grow up to be like his father. Should I stay here, or should I take my son and leave? -- Fed Up in Pennsylvania Dear Fed Up: There is a lot going on here. You and your husband obviously no longer connect, and your son may be act-ing out his frustrations with the situation. Dad has no idea how to communicate with his son. Neither you nor your son is happy with Dad. If the marriage is dead, please stop hanging around the corpse. Your son will benefit from an emotionally stable home. Speak with a lawyer before deciding which of you should move out. All of you would benefit from counseling, and we hope you will consider it. Dear Annie: Not every letter is about a problem. I am the luckiest guy in the world. I am 60 years old. My wife is a lit-tle younger. We will celebrate 35 years of marriage this month, complete with two children and all the trials and tribulations of every couple. We are almost empty nesters. By my wife’s own admission, menopause was easy. She is an excellent cook. We eat good food and get exercise, and both of us are in decent shape. Dates are fun, and she is a great travel part-ner. Here is the point of my letter: My wife is everything a man could want, including beautiful, sexy and passionate. I can bare-ly keep up with her passion. I have not done anything to deserve this. My charac-ter defects far exceed hers. Why my wife seems so perfect is beyond me, but I am not complaining. Rather, I am amazingly thankful. This may not be Iowa, but it does feel like heaven. -- A Lucky and Apprecia-tive Married Man Dear Lucky: Thank you so much for writ-ing and letting our readers see that some marriages are wonderful, and that part-ners can recognize and appreciate what they have. Please show this to your wife and tell her you wrote it. (And any other reader who wants to give that impression can do so, as well.) Dear Annie: “Sensitive in the Midwest” deplored the table manners she wit-nessed. Here’s my advice: Most execu-tives and CEOs of successful companies do not ignore etiquette. They are unlikely to hire anyone who cannot show decent manners, including those who use vulgar language. If one wishes to continue through life in a low-paying job with no chance of advancement, by all means, thumb your nose at etiquette. Otherwise, parents (and individuals with aspirations) should give some thought to their appearance and presentation and insist on etiquette and its use. It shows respect for yourself and others. -- Burwell, Neb. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime ed-itors of the Ann Landers column.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

Know it allContinued from page 1

Hello Wendy:I saw your column in the

Townsman last week at my friend’s house and I was won-dering if you could answer some questions for me about my mom. I was unsure whether to email you but something kept telling me to. She went to heaven this year and I was wondering how she is doing. Can you tell me if she is happy about the way I handled her affairs with her estate? She wasn’t explicit when it came to details about her possessions. I feel so different since mom has left us and I don’t know why it’s hard to explain.

Grateful and Sad

Dear Grateful and Sad:Yes, I understand how you

feel because my mom passed away this year as well. Sad and lonely is how I feel at times but like you mostly sad now. How-ever, they say time heals all and it feels like a little piece of your-self has been taken away doesn’t it? People just don’t understand that feeling until someone they love passes over. It definitely changes you as a person, I would say.

I talk to my mom everyday and I am grateful that I can do that and see how she is pro-gressing. She is always coming down and when I am doing something that I should not be doing I hear her voice. Now, some would say, ‘Oh that’s nor-mal — you are programmed from when your mom was here’. However, the times she pops down and the messages I receive is quite out of the ordi-

nary. For example: I was shop-ping for groceries the other day and I saw the Macintosh apples and I said, “Oh Mom, your fa-vourite apples.” Poof! There she was and she said, “I miss eating my apples, and by the way you better start wearing a sweater when you go outside with your arthritis.”

So what I’m getting at is to-tally an unrelat-ed topic with the sweater when I was re-membering about how she loved the mac apples.

I am telling you this because I feel you are not completely sure that there is an afterlife and I want to assure you that there is. I still miss phoning and talking to my mom every-day and I just want to hear her voice; but that is only because I am human that I am feeling this way.

Now, to your mom and how she is doing on the other side. I saw her transference over to the other side and she was a little disorientated at first and then she saw her family lined up at the entrance and she walked towards them. She had a calm transference and she knew in that second where she was. Her sister was the person she focused on and walked to-wards. She is now resting and her sister is watching over her and taking care of her. I also see some animals around her; that is making her so very happy. She just needs time to rest for now and build up her energy.

She will have enough energy if you wish to have a reading to talk to her in about three months from now. She is still quite weak energy wise from her illness on this plane.

When a person passes over to the other side please realize

that they do not have emotions; what’s done is done and what is the truth is the truth. We as humans have such a hard time with the

truth. We don’t want to face the way life is; we run and hide and hope it goes away. The result is confusion and loss of self. This saying, “The truth is hard to take” should be put out to pas-ture. We are programmed to fear the truth and run away from it. How sad is that. The truth will set you free and make you a better, stronger person, in control of your life. When I tell people the truth because they don’t want to help them-selves they call me blunt or mean. The truth is clear and concise and loving. I just don’t get it when people get mad and lash out because you are being kind to them by telling them the truth. However, when you find out someone lies to you then humans get mad at that as well. The truth is when you know what you need to do and you don’t want to do it to be-come emotionally better then you run away and get mad. How childish is that? In heaven the truth is the truth without emotion and that’s just fine

with everyone because they are all on the same page, so to speak. There’s no identity is-sues, fighting, arguing, or con-fusion, there is just this blissful state of living in the truth and acknowledging and accepting what is and what the individual wants to do about it when they come back down to this learn-ing school called Earth.

The reason why I am giving you this spiel is because my guide has told me that you are a confused person when it comes to facing reality. So, I hope this has helped you somewhat and given you an idea of how they act and react to themselves and each other in heaven.

Your mom thinks that you did a fine job when it came to handling her estate. She does not care about any of her pos-sessions anymore. She knows that you also have a lot of her personal possessions that you still need to give away to the family and she said, “Dear, just listen to your heart and when you hold one of my priceless ornaments or crystal just close your eyes and think of who you want to give this to and I will be there to guide you.”

I hope this message helps you from your mom because you are quite nervous in not doing the right thing.

Try and follow this advice your mom has given you and you will see that her posses-sions will go to exactly the right person that is meant to have them. God bless and stay fo-cused.

Wendy
