Another Kimberley resident has been arrested for suspi-cion of cocaine tracking, says Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel.

The cocaine was seized in Marysville after officers gained sufficient evidence that a male and female were involved in the trafficking of drugs.

“A search warrant was obtained for the male’s residence which was executed right after the arrest,” Newel said. “At total of 6 grams of what was held out to be cocaine, in two separate packages, was seized.”

The 38 year old male is currently in custody facing charg-es of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.

CO’s to go after cougar in Marysville

Officer with cougar hounds sent to

MarysvilleC ArOLyN gr ANT

A Conservation Officer with hounds is going after a cougar that has now been seen three times in Marys-ville in the last week.

The big cat has been seen twice on 310th Avenue and once on Main Street. It has also been seen taking a household pet.

Conservation Officer Joe

Carravetta says it’s impor-tant that people call in sightings like that because in order to send a CO with cougar hounds out to get a cougar, they need a history on the cat.

“If we get a call that’s fresh, we’ll send out the of-ficer with cougar hounds,” Carravetta said. “If there’s that many sightings, we’ll send him out today.”

He says they don’t trap cougars for transport else-where. If they are hunting in town, they will be put down.

Marilee QuistFor the Bulletin

The Garden Club is back to our winter schedule, and met on October 10th in the li-brary at Selkirk Second-ary School. We had a good discussion about which beautification projects in Kimberley we would like to fund with the proceeds from our garden tour this summer. Several mem-bers volunteered to do some more checking on several we all liked. We decided that our No-vember educational program would be to make evergreen cen-trepieces for the up-coming holiday season, using florist’s foam (Oasis) in waterproof containers, evergreen branches such as cedar, spruce, Oregon Grape or Bearberry and possi-bly candle holders, ever-green cones or long-lasting flowers such as carnations. It should be

fun and interesting. When the business part of the meeting was com-plete, we had a round-the-table discussion and information shar-ing on overwintering tender annual plants such as geraniums.

The Garden Club currently has programs planned for early in the new year, and have con-sidered having some-one come in and do a slide show of gardens, a talk and demonstration on how to best take pho-tographs of one’s garden and more. We always have some kind of edu-cational program as part of our meeting to en-hance our gardening knowledge. In Novem-ber we will again be meeting indoors at the Selkirk Secondary School Library. We meet the second Wednesday of the month, starting at 7 pm, and new members are always welcome. For more information, call

The next meeting will look at how to create ever-green centrepieces.

It is possible for poinsettias to rebloom.

Nola at 250-427-1948.The Garden Club

also has web space at http://www.kootenay-gardening.com. In ad-dition to hosting pages for the Cranbrook, Kim-berley and Trail Garden Clubs, this website is in-credibly informative with a wealth of garden-ing information and techniques.

After I got the last of

my perennials beds cleaned up for the win-ter, I convinced my bet-ter half that it would be better to put away the patio furniture and re-move the gazebo cover before, rather than after we got our first snow. A couple of days later, it snowed and we were all prepared for winter. What a good feeling!

I got a Poinsettia last

year as part of a potted arrangement, and after I repotted it and moved it to a sunny window, it started to grow. I had heard that it was hard to get a Poinsettia to re-bloom, and after look-ing up how to care for them on the internet, I decided I would give it a try. I put it under a grow light on a timer at the recommended number

of daylight hours, and have been somewhat surprised to discover that the top bracts on the branches are turn-ing red. I tried this as an experiment, and it is turning out to be more successful than I had hoped for.

When I retrieved my Amaryllis from the cool, dark room I had put them in for their forced

dormancy, I found that one had bloomed - a to-tally white stem that had flopped over the edge of the large tray I had put the pots in. Another one had a flower stalk that hadn’t yet bloomed, so that pot got moved, along with the rest of the pots, to a bright area with indirect light until the flower stalk was ad-vanced enough to cut and put in a vase to bloom. There are three more pots with buds now forming, so I should have blooms be-fore Christmas.

I am looking forward to having paperwhite narcissus blooming be-fore Christmas, as well as Christmas Cactus. I am chilling prepared hyacinths before potting them up to force after Christmas for an early indoor spring!

Since we seem to be back to warmer weath-er, at least for a while, let’s all enjoy it while we can.

Happy Gardening.

Dancing in the teeth of the gale

The Royal Stewart Highland Dancers had an unusual and difficult competitor at a recent dance com-petition: Hurricane Sandy. Left to right: Back Row: Parent chaperones Rosmarie Saffin, Lisa Beaulac and teacher Jane Nixon. Front row: Local highland dancers Emily Balfour, Katie Saffin, Alexandra Demarchi and Katie Macleod.

The Royal Stewart Highland Dancers got a little more than they bar-gained for when Hurri-cane Sandy literally rained on their parade during their cruise vaca-tion.

Katie Saffin, Emily Balfour, Katie Macleod and Alexandra Demar-chi were set to leave from Miami for the Sadie Simpson Scholarship competition aboard the Majesty of the Seas.

Hurricane Sandy – then a tropical storm – was in Miami wreaking havoc on the usually sunny destination when the girls arrived by air-plane. Instructor Jane Nixon and parent chap-erones were with the girls the whole way. Nixon told the Towns-man it wasn’t exactly the vacation they had all looked forward to.

The cruise was in danger of being can-celled as the storm pounded the city. The dancers decided to brave the weather and explore Miami as best

they could.Nixon said she and

the girls took a tour around the city, stop-ping at famous land-marks like South Beach. Nixon said something was amiss though, as they tried to enjoy the scenery.

“The manhole covers were popping out of the ground,” she said.

Back in their hotel rooms, Nixon said they watched the path of the storm as it ripped through Jamaica. On the Thursday before they left, 12 people had been killed. The death toll grew to 41 by Friday.

“It was really fright-ening,” she said.

The cruise line de-cided the show must go on, so the girls boarded the vessel and off they went into the tropical storm.

“We took off on the boat into the hurricane,” Nixon said. They soon began questioning whether the cruise line made the right choice as sea swells up to 11 me-tres (36 feet) smashed against the sides of the

ship.“It was a bad deci-

sion.”Back home, the fami-

lies worried about the girls as they did not have constant communica-tion. The boat rocked back and forth in the swells, and many of the passengers — including the Cranbrook dancers — became seasick. The wind was so high that no one was allowed to go outside or enjoy the pools. Nixon said the dancers spent much of their time battling sea-sickness in the safety of their rooms.

“They didn’t really sell us on cruises,” she said.

One of the destina-tions of the cruise had been Cococay, Baha-mas, but the ship was forced to pass it by. Many cruise lines re-ported damage to their private beaches and re-sorts in the region.

Unfortunately for the girls, the cruise wasn’t the only thing that had to go ahead. The highland dancers still had to dance in their competition.

A 20 year old Kimberley youth is in Nelson jail awaiting trial on a murder charge laid following a shooting about last September 21, in the vicinity of Lois Lake.

Darwin Laverne Sutherland surrendered to po-lice last weekend and told them he had accidentally shot Edward Henry Coelen, 19, of Kelowna while on a hunting trip. Sutherland said he buried the body because he was afraid to tell police what had hap-pened.

Police at the time were investigating reports from residents of the Lois Creek area that a car had been abandoned on the little-used Lois Lake road.

According to reports, Coelen left his Kelowna home Sept. 17 stating he was driving to Calgary. It is not known why he stopped off in Kimberley or how he happened to be on a hunting trip with Suther-land. But it is believed he may have stopped here to contact hockey officials in the hope of securing a place on the Kimberley team.

Sutherland led police to the point where he had covered the body with leaves and debris and it was found that Coelen had been shot through the back, apparently by a .270 rifle.

The murder charge followed and an inquest was convened Monday morning when the dead youth’s father identified the body. No evidence was taken and following the identification, the inquest was abandoned on the orders of the attorney general’s department.

Sutherland is scheduled to appear for prelimi-nary hearing next Monday, but it is expected that further remands will be sought by police pending completion of investigation.

The Way it Was

Lindsay Park students are feeling the glow of achievement after their recognition assembly last week. A number of stu-dents from each grade were recognized for various academic and social achievements.

From Page 3Nixon said many dancers

were unable to perform, but the girls from Cranbrook had worked too hard to quit.

“They couldn’t see not doing it,” Nixon said, adding that all girls put in an incredi-ble affort to train and their parents had committed to funding their trip.

All three girls danced even though they were sick to their stomachs and the boat con-tinued to rock in the waves. Nixon said it was extremely loud as the waves smashed the ship.

Cranbrook’s dancers were able to perform, but many were not so lucky. Some at-tempted but ended up vomit-

ing and abandoning the at-tempt. Nixon said at one point a judge was attempting to de-liver her feedback and was sick.

“It was kind of surreal,” Nixon said. “We all wanted to go home.”

But with so many odds against them, the girls more than outdid themselves. Ma-cLeod placed first in the Se-nior North American scholar-ship Written Paper competi-tion, besting 50 other dancers, and as Nixon cheekily notes, the hurricane itself.

Saffin came in fourth place in the Junior North American category over 55 other danc-ers.

“This is a huge achieve-

ment in the world of highland dancing, for both Katie Ma-cleod and Katie Saffin and for the Royal Stewart Highland Dancers.” Nixon said. “Not only did the dancers study hard for this trip but they also trained and worked to per-form on a cruise ship rocking in the wake of hurricane Sandy with swells up to 11 metres.”

After leaving the area of Cococay, Nixon said the ship headed for calmer waters south of the island towards Nassau, Bahamas. The storm was moving its way north be-hind them. Finally, the girls got the chance to get off the ship and enjoy some fun in the sun.

“It was phenomenal just to be on land again,” Nixon said.

The girls enjoyed the beach and the hot sand before head-ing back to the ship bound for Miami again. Looking back, Nixon said her first hurricane experience will hopefully be her last.

“I don’t care to see it again,” she said.

The girls will all return to school this week after some rest to recover from their big adventure. Nixon said the girls will have a lot to tell their classmates.

But the single thought that is running through all their minds?

“We are all so happy to be back home in B.C.!”

Dancers perform in stormy weather

Kamloops, B.C. – With winter weather bearing down on the BC Interior, BC Am-bulance Service (BCAS) has seen an in-crease in motor vehicle incidents – partic-ularly on mountain passes and highways -- and wants all residents to be aware that road conditions can change quickly. Mo-torists need to be aware of the hazards of winter driving and how to adjust their driv-ing to prevent accidents.

BCAS attends more than 486,000 events annually throughout the province and knows the added risks of driving in snow, ice and freezing rain. The following safety tips will help you stay safe on the roads this winter.

IS YOUR JOURNEY ESSENTIAL? – Don’t take unnecessary chances. Check

the weather forecast and avoid driving in poor conditions. If you must travel, allow yourself extra time or wait until conditions improve.

CHECK YOUR VEHICLE – Before you leave, be sure you have sufficient wind-shield washer fluid. Poor visibility can lead to unnecessary accidents.

FUEL UP – Keep your gas tank suffi-ciently full — at least half of a tank is rec-ommended in case you run into lengthy delays; the extra weight also assists with traction.

ARE YOU PREPARED? – BC Ambulance Service suggests carrying an emergency driving kit. A few items that you should carry in your kit and will be glad to have if necessary are chains or a gritty substance

to help with traction if you get stuck, a shovel, safety cones or reflectors, jumper cables, ice scraper, flashlight, matches and a candle, blanket, non-perishable food, emergency phone numbers and a fully charged cell phone.

DRIVE SAFELY – Reduce your speed according to the conditions. BC Ambu-lance Service recommends a four-second gap between you and the car in front dur-ing winter driving conditions to help give you plenty of time to respond to hazards. Avoid braking suddenly as it can cause you to skid. If you do start to skid, take your foot off of the break and put the car into neutral. It is also recommended that while steering out of a skid that you look in the direction you want the car to go.

Hugh McBryan, Kimberley salesman, who was charged with manslaughter follow-ing the truck death Sept. 26 of Dale Ed-ward Kehler, 14 year-old Marysville lad, was released on bail of $2000 Tuesday and re-manded for prelimi-nary hearing until Oct. 14.

The Marysville lad died when the truck, driven by McBryan in which he was riding, overturned on the

Kimberley – Marysville highway. Two other Marysville boys, Billy Carter and Frank McNa-mara, were also injured and were confined to St. Eugene Hospital in Cranbrook. They were able to return to their homes this week.

McBryan was held in custody until his release on bail yesterday.

Lack of a sewer be-tween the B.C. Electric and Music Store and the Post Office is responsi-ble for the pool of water that gathers outside the Bowness Block follow-ing a rain, city Engineer K. H. Montgomery told council. He was answer-ing a query by Ald. F. Burrin.

Sewer work was completed on 8th Ave-nue, Tadanac Boulevard and the lane between 7th and 8th Avenues in McDougall Townsite, Ald. S. L. Loraas, public works chairman report-ed. There were 1470 feet of four inch pipe laid, 467 feet of four inch lat-erals and four manholes involved.

Aldermen, who are not easily “phased”, looked a little alarmed at a request from the District School Board for the construction of a 10 foot sidewalk on Ro-tary Drive from Wall-inger Avenue to McKen-zie Street, at the far end of the high school grounds. “That’d cost something,” one alder-man murmured.

The Halloween days of yoreI’m sitting at my desk, minding

my own business, typing away. When in comes our

office manager with Halloween candy to give away to our customers.

Curse her! From my vantage point I couldn’t even see the box, but it stared at me. Coaxing me over for a taste. It was as if a candy bar wrapper was picking me up by the scruff of the neck and dragging me over to the box. Leave me alone!

Eventually having a mini chocolate bar started to become a better idea. Maybe I could have just one? I mean it’s Halloween after all, the one day a year where hording candy is not only encouraged but sweet treats are thrown at you wherever you go. The hor-ror!

So I sneak up to the box with the candy, and find not one but four choco-late bars I’d like to eat. Four delicious va-rieties of chocolate and toffee and cara-mel. How do I pick just one? The truth is I can’t, and I coyly stuffed all four varieties into my pocket. For shame.

Riddled with guilt, I ate one after an-other. All four wrappers were empty now, tossed in the trash. Crunchie, Aero, Cara-milk, Mr. Big. Blast! I have no willpower!

A few hours later, the box was calling to me again. Come on, one more, it said. I kept my head down. Typed on my key-board with fierce dedication. The box had now been moved and it was in my sight

line. Memories of my trick-or-treating days came back to me. The wonderful thrill of bringing home a pillow case filled with loot.

My Halloween ritual always began weeks before the day. I would run around the house and collect each pillow case I could find – empty or not. I would lay each

sack out on the living room floor and pair each one up. The bigger one went in the maybe pile, the smaller ones were discarded like trash and most likely left there. The maybe pile was sized off until I had the big-gest pillowcase in the entire

house. Who knows what delight I would have discovered if we had a body pillow under our roof – perhaps this is precisely the reason we never did have one.

On the night of Halloween I’d dress up in my costume of choice. I was once Pippi Longstocking, this was my favourite Hal-loween costume of all time. I always loved wearing my costume to school better than out trick or treating because growing up in Northern Ontario, all costumes had to be able to fit over a snowsuit. We might as well have all dressed up as the Michelin Man or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Once we got home, freezing and ex-hausted – not enough Pepsi cans handed out to give us the caffeine boost needed to do another block – I would spread my candy out on the floor, and the sorting process began. All the bags with miscella-neous items were opened and dumped

out. Traditional candy like suckers, gum-balls and toffees were put in one pile, glo-rious mounds of mini chocolate bars in another and then the chips. Each category would be put in its own bowl and Mom would be without them until I finished them off – sometimes it took months.

Every day at school for the weeks thereafter would be filled with chocolate bars. A sandwich and a Snickers. Pizza Pop and a Tootsie Pop. Hot dog and a roll of Lifesavers.

As the years went on I also grew too tall to be considered young enough for trick-or-treating. I remember the first time a lady answered the door, me still in middle school, her unconvinced I was appropri-ately young enough to still be out search-ing for candy on All-Hallows Eve. They always gave me less candy than my friends.

I would play clever tricks like standing on the bottom step with my friends in front of me. That worked for a time, but eventually I had to give it up. It was time to retire from my illustrious trick-or-treat-ing career.

Now I’ve lost my train of thought, re-flecting back on the Halloween days of yore. It could be that, or I’m experiencing a sugar rush from the 15 more chocolate bars I consumed in the writing of this col-umn and can no longer concentrate on anything but seeing the end of that box of Townsman candy.

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”

John Muir

The original plan had been for the four of them, two couples, to go together and see if they could get up Mount

Dingley, up above The Nine Basins, at the head of Wildhorse Creek but only two of them that time made the climb.

The first one to discover that she might not be going on this expedition was Dagma. She’d been having trouble with ‘her water-works’, as she described her problem, and her G.P. had got an appointment for her with a visiting specialist on the day of the planned climb. She, however, urged her spouse of thirty years or so to go anyway; she’d be all right; he’d enjoy the company. Jake thought about it.

Then Brandon announced that his partner had got sick and wanted him, Brandon, to go to Calgary for the confer-ence. Naturally, this business chore coin-cided with the planned hike. His wife, Cameron, was furious. She reckoned she barely had a true day off more than a cou-ple of times a year and she was going up Dingley, alone if necessary.

Brandon knew from long experience that it was useless to argue with Cameron and so worked on Jake to accompany his wife before she did something hare-brained up in the Rockies. They could use

her fancy new four-wheel drive utility. Jake wasn’t keen.

In fact, Jake slept almost all the way up the Wildhorse road, or pretended to, but when Cameron crossed the creek and started up the badly eroded skid trails, he was wide awake, and hanging on.

The woman drove skilfully and ma-noeuvered the new vehicle over the wash-

outs, the bumps and the fallen trees. Jake admired her skill but wasn’t going to admit to the fact. In fact, he was hoping she’d make a mess of things and have to be rescued.

In fact, Cameron drove successfully and turned the

vehicle around. She hopped out, all eager to get going. Jake stalled. He wasn’t sure of the way to climb Dingley and didn’t want to make a fool of himself. He poked around for a while and eventually found a bit of a track and set off at a cracking pace, but Cameron followed close behind him, then overtook him.

Jake felt a little uncomfortable as they followed the bitty trail through the forest. He didn’t know what to talk about. With other guys, there was always past hunting trips, fishing expeditions plus tons of dirty jokes: macho stuff.

Cameron, however, felt light-headed and a trifle silly. She was away from the laboratory where she had been spending too much of her life for too many years. She walked fast and noted that her breathing was fine and that her heart was doing well.

When they emerged from the trail, they passed through the willow thicket, Jake fol-lowing Cameron and, because of his great-er height, noticed the backside of the re-treating grizzly. He said nothing and hopped over the tiny creek after the woman.

Jake felt that Cameron walked purpose-fully, probably thinking aerobics rather than aesthetics. She was going to the top of the mountain. He, a one-time hunter and amateur geologist and biologist, was en-joying the journey aesthetically. The peak really didn’t matter.

Her ladyship, eyes fixed on the summit of the peak, charged on up the loose scree towards the higher basin. She had her eyes fixed on the summit of her ambition.

When they crested the ridge, they were almost blown off their feet and forced to crawl to the summit. Jake, paused, fasci-nated by a flock of birds that was struggling unsuccessfully to cross the top against the gale, and then, sitting a while in the wind, endeavoured to count the mountain goats on the neighbouring mountain.

Cameron was asleep in the lee of a block of limestone on the very summit of her achievement. Jake unearthed his lunch.

Eventually they ate their lunches in si-lence then they headed downward and homeward, she pacing herself aerobically and he, with his eyes open for the grizzly, aesthetically.

Aerobics and aesthetics

More or less at opposite ends of the world, two very long wars are coming to a negotiated end, with

no victors and no vanquished. In the Phil-ippines, President Benigno Aquino signed a peace agreement with the leaders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on 16 October after more than 40 years of war. In Norway the next day, Colombia’s gov-ernment began talks with the FARC rebels to end a war that has lasted for over 50 years.

Neither deal is yet com-plete, and in both wars there have been several previous peace deals that failed. But the omens are better this time, mainly because there is a lot more realism about what is pos-sible and what is not.

“You can’t just ask the FARC to kneel down, surrender and give us the arms,” said the Colombian president, Juan Man-uel Santos, as the talks in Oslo began. “They will not do that, so there has to be some way out, and this way out has to be that you are able to participate in the po-litical arena. This is the way any conflict is settled, not only the Colombian conflict.”

The Colombian war has gone on so long that neither side remotely resembles the adversaries of fifty years ago. The left-wing revolutionaries who once set out to win power through a guerilla war have become hereditary rebels who finance their operations through kidnapping and cocaine production.

At the same time, the repressive right-wing governments of the 60s have given way to a more or less democratic system. The death squads are gone and the econ-

omy is growing fast. Time to stop, then. But how?

There are two reasons why there is more hope for this peace initiative than for its predecessors. The first is that FARC can no longer hope for an eventual vic-tory, although it will be a crippling nui-sance for another generation if it is not brought back into the political system. The other is that the two sides are not try-ing to solve all the country’s problems in

these talks; they are just trying to end the fighting.

The talks, which will move to Cuba for the next round, deal with only five topics: rural development, FARC’s participation in democratic politics, an end to the fighting, an end

to the drug trafficking, and justice for the many civilian victims of the war. Colom-bia has dozens of other issues that de-mand attention, but if you put them all on the table there will never be agreement.

Those other issues can and should be settled by the normal political process, in which FARC will play a legitimate part once the war is over. There will have to be an amnesty even for grave violations of human rights. Nor will the fighting stop during the negotiations: that is what pro-vides the pressure for a deal. But this time, in the end, there will probably be a deal.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, the long war between the central govern-ment and the Muslim minority on the big island of Mindanao is also heading for a peaceful resolution. It has been clear for some time that MILF could never achieve its goal of an independent Muslim state

in western Mindanao – and it is also clear that MILF could go on fighting for an-other generation unless there is a deal.

So you might as well make a deal, and the only plausible one is that the Moros (Filipino Muslims) get a broad degree of self-government in the areas where they are the majority. There will be a referen-dum in 2015 to settle the size and shape of the new “Bangsamoro” region, but it will remain part of the Philippines, and Manila will retain control of defence, for-eign policy, and the broad outlines of economic policy.

So two wars down (probably), and how many more to go? No more than a dozen or so of comparable scale, most of them in Africa and the Middle East. And whether they are internal wars like Co-lombia and the Philippines or wars be-tween local nationalists and foreign oc-cupiers, they tend to end the same way.

There are exceptions, of course, like the Sri Lankan government’s recent vic-tory over the Tamil Tigers, but in most cases the wars get closed down when both sides recognise that a decisive vic-tory is impossible. Or rather, they get shut down when the participants finally rec-ognise what has already been plain to most outsiders for decades.

The extra time is required because the people directly involved have already paid such a price for that elusive victory that they just cannot bear to admit to themselves that their sacrifices were wasted. Does this have any relevance to the horrors that are now unfolding in Syria? A great deal, I’m sorry to say.

Former Ice players take advantage of WHL scholarships

Kootenay Ice players with WHL scholarships

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Eleven Kootenay Ice alumni have taken ad-vantage of WHL schol-arships, as the league announced on Wednesday that 301 WHL grads are utilizing their post-secondary benefits this academic year.

“The WHL takes great pride in providing our graduate players with the most compre-hensive hockey schol-arship program avail-able in North America today,” said WHL Com-missioner Ron Robi-son, in a press release.

“The WHL scholar-

ship provides the flexi-bility for our graduate players to enrol in any university, college, technical school or any other post-secondary career enhancing pro-gram of their choice.”

The scholarships are administered centrally by the WHL office in Calgary, and funded solely through member clubs. Roughly $2 mil-lion in scholarship funds will be utilized by graduates this year.

While no former Ice players are attending the College of the Rock-ies, a Victoria Royals alumnus is studying at the Cranbrook campus.

Mount Baker Wild quarterback Jeremy Stewart (84) airs out a ball to reciever Jerrod Hagel during a home game last weekend against South Kamloops Titans.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Mount Baker Wild lost a 49-6 deci-sion to the visiting South Kamloops Titans last weekend, but there was reason to celebrate on the sidelines as the Wild scored their first touchdown of the sea-son.

Wild quarterback Jeremy Stewart aired out a pass to a double-covered Niclas Englert, who ran 66 yards for the touchdown in the third quarter.

Defensive coordina-tor Steve Zsillei said the team had a great firs quarter and a pret-ty good first half, but things opened up for the Titans in the sec-ond half, even though the Wild got their touchdown in the third quarter.

“For the first half of the football game, we played excellent,” said Zsillei. “For the other half, we were tired—end of year tired.”

The defence was es-pecially sharp in the

opening half, accord-ing to Zsillei.

“Defensively we shut them down twice in the red zone on their fourth downs,” said Zsillei. “They weren’t respecting us, they were going for fourth downs, they weren’t kicking a field goal.

“That’s a lack of re-spect and we showed them that they need to respect us, and they

did, because after that, they let loose with the cannons.”

The Wild also did a much better job of holding onto the ball, with only one turnover, as opposed to nine from their previous game.

The Wild will host the Westsyde Second-ary School out of Kam-loops next Saturday at 11 a.m. for the final

game of the season. It will be the last

game for the Grade 12’s on the team, as well as the visiting exchange students, and Zsillei hopes that will give them extra motivation.

“For maybe four or five kids, it’s their last game and the Euros, they’re all going back, so I think they’re all going to leave it out on the field,” he said.

The Cranbrook Ban-tam AA C.P.C. (Cran-brook Pest Control) Hornets gained three of a possible four points in South Central Alberta Hockey League action this weekend, earning a 3-3 tie on the road Sat-urday against the Bad-lands Longhorns in Brooks, Alberta before boarding the bus and trekking home Sunday afternoon for a 6-2 win over the Innisfail Flyers at the Memorial Arena.

The C.P.C. Hornets fought off some early bus-legs Saturday in Brooks as the Long-horns outshot the Hor-nets 16-10 in the first period, only to come up empty as the teams were scoreless after one period.

In the second the Hornets opened the scoring when Shawn Kiedyk notched his 4th of the season with Ga-reth Osmar and Chase Leroux adding the as-sists. 90 seconds later the Longhorns tied it and then took the lead at the 12-minute mark before Hornet forward James Rota knotted the score at two on a break-away to send the two teams into the third pe-riod deadlocked.

The Hornets then

got into some serious penalty trouble at the tail-end of the second and into the third peri-od, giving the Long-horns two, 5-on-3 power play opportuni-ties, only to kill them off before giving up a shorthanded goal half-way through the third period.

With the Longhorns up 3-2 the Hornets sur-rendered yet another 5-on-3 late on the game, which they man-aged to kill off, only to go down a man yet again with less than two minutes left. With 44 seconds left in the game Osmar notched his sec-ond point of the game with his 6th goal of the season, stripping the puck of a Longhorn D-man at their blueline and then scoring on a low wrist-shot, stick-side, to salvage the tie.

Caden McCormack was stellar in stopping 33 of 36 shots as the Hornets amassed 66 penalty minutes – in-cluding three, ten-min-ute misconducts for not having their mouth-guards completely in place and another ten when some displeasure was voiced - to the Longhorns’ 12.

On Sunday the North Division’s Innis-

fail Flyers visited the Memorial Arena and found themselves in trouble early.

Four, first period goals by Korbyn Chabot, Rylan D’Etcheverrey, Gareth Osmar and Tyler Van Steinburg gave the Hor-nets a commanding 4-0 lead after one period. The Flyers got one back in the second but it was as close as they would come as Osmar and Chabot added two more in the third – chasing Flyers starter Lane Brann from the nets in the process – be-fore settling for a 6-2 win. Robert Nickell stopped 22 of 24 shots to earn the win.

The C.P.C. Hornets improved to 5-4-3 on the season, good for 13 points in the SCAHL’s South Division and sec-ond place behind Med-icine Hat.

The club now enters a break in the SCAHL schedule and will host an exhibition double-header Saturday and Sunday against the Spokane Bantam AA Chiefs. Saturday night the Hornets will enter-tain the Chiefs at the Memorial Arena at 6PM and on Sunday at Noon at Western Financial Place.

Whitecaps face do or die game against GalaxyMonte Ste wart

Canadian Press

CARSON, Calif. — The road to the site of the Vancouver White-caps’ playoff debut is lined with palm trees.

There is no barbed wire, nothing is crum-bling, the modern washrooms do not threaten to churn one’s innards and no extend-ed national holiday has been declared.

The Home Depot Center in suburban Los Angeles, where the Whitecaps will become the first Canadian team to compete in Major League Soccer’s post-season on Thursday, is much friendlier than the scene of an infa-mous Canadian na-tional men’s team loss in Honduras.

“It’s not really an in-timidating atmo-sphere, but it’s pretty nice,’’ Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie said of the surroundings Wednesday. “It’s a nice field, nice stadium. I think it’ll probably be a smaller crowd because of it being a mid-week

game.’’Canada’s men’s

team suffered a humili-ating 8-1 loss to Hon-duras in a critical World Cup qualifying game on Oct. 16 at Es-tadio Olimpico Metro-politano in San Pedro Sula.

While Home Depot Center is less threaten-ing, the Whitecaps’ task might be just as daunting.

The underdogs from Vancouver, who must defeat the Galaxy in a do-or-die game to ad-vance to the second round of the post-sea-son, are seeking their first road win and first away goal against L.A. since entering MLS last year.

“It’s always a tough place to play,’’ Vancou-ver midfielder Dane Richards said. ``They always have a tough fan base who’s cheer-ing for them, a lot of people. Now, it’s the playoffs, tough game.

“If you lose you’re out. If you win, you’re in.’’

Vancouver goal-

keeper Brad Knighton, who is slated to make his first career playoff start, said the atmo-sphere is always elec-tric when the White-caps visit the Galaxy.

“Especially with the players that they’ve got there, the fan support they’ve got behind them, being the de-fending champs, so ob-viously it’s going to be a raucous crowd,’’ said Knighton. “We know we’ve got a ton of fans

going down for the game, and we’re look-ing forward to that in our (supporters’) sec-tion. It’s going to be a great atmosphere for a great game.’’

The Whitecaps have not won on the road since beating the Colo-rado Rapids in July. L.A. posted three shut-out wins over Vancou-ver, along with a come-back draw, in the regu-lar season, while out-scoring the Whitecaps

10-2.But Knighton said

all of the pressure is on the star-studded Gal-axy, whose veteran-laden side includes iconic English mid-fielder David Beckham and American striker Landon Donovan.

“Everybody’s al-ready written us off,’’ said Knighton. “Why not make everybody wrong ... and show some people that we deserve to be here?’’

LONDON — Chelsea came from behind three times against Manches-ter United on Wednes-day before a nine-goal thriller was settled by Ramires’ extra-time shot clinching a 5-4 victory and a spot in the League Cup quarterfinals.

Three days after los-ing an acrimonious Pre-mier League encounter to United, Chelsea was

heading out of the tour-nament until Eden Haz-ard scored from the pen-alty spot in 90th minute to make it 3-3.

In extra time at Stam-ford Bridge, Daniel Stur-ridge and Ramires gave Chelsea an apparently comfortable lead _ until Ryan Giggs scored his second of the night for United, and the game’s third penalty, in the 120th minute.

“They showed a big,

big heart and passion and pride to not want to lose this game,’’ Chelsea manager Roberto di Mat-teo said.

“It was a very exciting game of football to watch, typical cup game, quite open at times and a lot of mistakes from both teams because there were probably a lot of young players involved.’’

Chelsea will now trav-el to Leeds in the quar-terfinals.

The New Relation-ship Trust (NRT) and Cree Nation Youth Council are bringing the Young Entrepreneurs Symposium (YES) to the Rockies this Friday.

The YES Regional event is for Métis and Aboriginal youth be-tween the ages of 19 and 30 years of age and will

give participants a great introduction to YES. One lucky winner will get the chance to attend the National YES event in Ottawa.

“This is the first time NRT has taken the sym-posium on the road to the communities,” said Miranda Sterling, capac-ity and event manager for the NRT. “We want to be able to reach as many

B.C. young people as possible who sometimes aren’t able to travel to the national ones.”

Youth interested in entrepreneurship will enjoy the symposium being held at the St. Eu-gene Mission from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday. Sterling said the hope is for more B.C. residents to attend the national conference and repre-

sent their province. “We want to have

B.C. represent at the Na-tional YES coming up in November being held in Ottawa, so at each ses-sion one person wins an all expense paid trip to go to YES National,” she said.

YES is sponsored by NRT and is free for Ab-original and Métis youth. Lunch is includ-

ed in the fun, informal day. Sterling said it’s a great opporunity to meet new Aboriginal youth across the coun-try.

“Anyone who is ei-ther interested in start-ing their own business, working independently, wanting to push them-selves out of their com-fort zone and who are looking to network with more Aboriginal Youth (should attend),” she said.

The National YES event will be much big-ger with representatives from all across the coun-try attending. Keynote speakers in the past have included Rick Hanson and a new line-up of del-

egates and speakers is set for this November’s edition. The youth will work with their peers on challenges such as logo development and mar-keting challenges. In 2010 the teams got to produce their own Tim Hortons commercial with a professional pro-duction crew.

“Youth are put into teams and throughout the week they are given challenges to complete – most being business related but also some fun team building ones,” Sterling said. “Through-out the week they also get to hear from many experienced speakers at panel discussions as well as some keynote

speakers.”While in Cranbrook,

the NRT will also be hosting its Regional En-gagement Sessions at the St. Eugene Mission.

“These sessions are to provide an overview of our initiatives, and gather feedback from the communities on our future direction,” Ster-ling said. “It’s a really im-portant session for NRT and we hope to see the First Nation govern-ments and First Nation organizations around Cranbrook attend.”

YES in the Rockies for Aboriginal youth

SAlly MAcDonAlDTownsman Staff

If young people like living in our city, they will find a way to stay when they grow up, buy a home and raise their family here. If they don’t, they will move away, leaving an ever larger generational gap in the community.

That’s the message at two special workshops being held later this month in Cranbrook and Kimberley.

Youth Engagement 101 is a joint initiative of Columbia Basin Trust, B.C. Healthy Communi-ties, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook (BBBS).

“If we don’t engage with youth, it means the death of our small com-munity,” said Dana Osiowy, executive direc-tor of BBBS.

“Statistically, if we don’t have young people in their younger years who like the community and are engaged, then

they will leave. Then they won’t be buying houses and they won’t be raising their families here and that affects us economically.”

Osiowy said it is up to adults in the community to learn how to engage youth so they feel con-nected to their home town. The all-day work-shops will be targeted at business owners, elect-ed officials, and non-profit workers who all have pivotal roles in en-gaging youth.

“We are going to lead them through a training process so they can learn why youth engage-ment is important, and where they are doing youth engagement that is working well,” said Osiowy.

The workshops will provide strategies and processes that rural communities have used and practical tools for action.

“So people can go back to their boss and

Children are our futureWorkshops teach that helping young people fall in love with

their hometown will let Cranbrook and Kimberley thrivetheir board of directors and explain why it’s im-portant to engage with youth,” said Osiowy.

“Imagine if we have a whole cadre of adults and service providers and the chamber who knew how to meaning-fully engage youth. It could be awesome.”

The Cranbrook Youth Engagement workshop will be held on Tuesday,

Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Manual Training School.

The Kimberley work-shop will be held on Wednesday, Nov.14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kimberley Seniors Centre.

I often be-lieve the future counts on us to be engaged in this very effort!

Take care, please give ev-eryone my very best!

The City of Cranbrook and Chamber of Commerce has lost another champion. A stalwart and dedicated volunteer, Peter cared very much for the community as was evident in everything he did. He will be missed in many ways throughout the community. We at the Chamber will miss his enthusiasm, smile and willingness

to work whenever called on. Our deepest sympathy and

condolences to the Relkoff family.

I wanted to let you know that we really appreciated the

friendly service we received a few weeks ago. My

company was doing some work at Wasa so stayed in

Cranbrook and the courtesy of most people in town

was very refreshing. Greeted by warm friendly people

that were over and above helpful from the hardware

stores, drug stores, hotel and every restaurant. Maybe

our city needs to work on their customer service and

Cranbrook should be proud of the � ne example they are

setting! I will be passing on the word and encouraging

others to head your direction.

Thank you so very much and we look forward to visit-

TORONTO _ One-third of Canadian re-spondents to a new sur-vey admit their financial plans include counting on a future injection of good luck, either by winning the lottery or receiving a large inheri-tance.

The poll commis-sioned by Credit Cana-da Debt Solutions and Capital One Canada found that nearly two in 10, or 18 per cent, of those polled say they believe winning the lot-tery will contribute to their financial plan, while one in 10 say they expect a large inheri-tance to help out.

“It’s troubling to see so many Canadians put-ting more trust in the lottery than sound fi-nancial planning, but I see the effects every day in our agency,’’ said Lau-rie Campbell, CEO of Credit Canada Debt So-lutions.

“Canadians need to recognize that there is no magic solution to gaining control of their finances. It means hard work and sticking to a budget determined by income.’’

The survey comes as Canadian household debt sits at an all time high and other reports indicate many Canadi-ans are realizing they have not saved ade-quately for retirement.

It also found that more than two-thirds of those asked have felt anxious or lost sleep thinking about their fi-nances in the past year and another two-thirds admitted to spending beyond their monthly budgets.

Rob Livingston, pres-ident, Capital One Can-ada said the findings support the need to ramp up financial litera-cy programs.

“Overspending is a real issue for many Ca-nadians and even though they know what to do, a quarter of us are still not confident we can stick to a monthly budget.’’

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has been push-ing Canadians to better understand their fi-nances since creating a federal financial literacy task force in the 2009 budget.

At the same time, however, the Bank of Canada has held its key lending rate _ which forms the basis for banks’ prime rates for lending _ at one per cent for last 17 consecutive rate announcements, which has contributed to an unsustainable run-up in home prices and risky levels of household debt.

In a recent revision, Statistics Canada has placed household credit market debt at 163 per cent of income, about the level reached in the United States before the housing crash of 2007-08.

The online survey of 822 Canadians was con-ducted by Mark Binns Consulting between Au-gust and September.

The polling indus-try’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Associ-ation, says online sur-veys cannot be assigned a margin of error be-cause they do not ran-domly sample the pop-ulation.

Many Canadians rely on winning lottery or inheritance for

VICTORIA _ For the first time, the B.C. government has released the travel ex-penses of MLAs after a scathing report by the auditor general said the legislature’s financial books were a mess.

The expenses cover the first six months of this fiscal year, from April 1 to Sept. 30, and show B.C.’s 85 MLAs spent a total of $1.5 million.

The biggest spender was New Demo-crat Robin Austin, who billed $53,606 dur-ing the period, followed by Liberal Bill Barisoff, the speaker of the house, whose expenses were $46,410, and Norm Mac-donald, another New Democrat, who billed $45,332.

Barisoff says B.C. residents want ac-countability on how their tax dollars are spent, and the release of the travel expens-es helps meet that expectation.

But the posting of the expenses came only after Auditor General John Doyle released a report this summer, saying the financial books of the B.C. legisla-ture were so chaotic that it was impos-sible to tell if money was being well spent.

Doyle’s report found that MLA credit card bills are being paid without receipts and the legislative assembly hasn’t pro-duced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous audi-tor general.

HoroScopeSby Jacqueline Bigar

Dear Annie: I’m dating a guy who works out of town and is home every four weeks. “Jake” calls and texts often and says he misses me all the time. Here’s what bothers me: Jake always asks me how I feel about him. He says, “Do you even like me?” I think it’s because I don’t drop everything when he calls like the other women he has dated.

I recently found out via Facebook that Jake went on a cruise with a woman he used to live with. She has been post-ing pictures of the cruise and saying how much she loves Jake. There is nothing about the cruise posted on Jake’s page. I told him about her comments. He replied that he didn’t know anything about it, and she was obviously just thanking all of the people on the cruise for their love and support. But he added that she’s a won-derful woman and they’d be in a relation-ship if she lived closer.

I said he is being unfair to both of us, but he claims he’s not married and will continue to call me until I tell him to stop. Since then, he’s phoned a couple of times, and I refuse to take his calls. Is this a case of wanting to have your cake and eat it, too? -- Daisy Mae

Dear Daisy: It sounds like it, although as a single man, he can date as many women as he likes until he makes a com-mitment. You thought he had made one to you, but he believed otherwise. It’s pos-sible he was attracted to you because you didn’t fawn all over him. But that results in a stable relationship only in the movies.

In real life, such men thrive on the at-tention, and since they rarely get enough of it from one partner, they look for it in many others. Right now, he thinks you’ll cave. If you want him to stop calling, you will have to tell him point blank.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of 10 siblings. Every summer, we share a lake house for a wonderful family reunion that extends over several days.

Every year, my older brother invites an obnoxious friend to join us for the last evening’s family grill. How can I convince him that just because we are part owners doesn’t mean we can invite unwanted guests? He says it is his home and he can invite whomever he wishes. I say if he is not cooking the meal, it is not proper. The chef dislikes this guy as much as I do. Who is right? -- The Baby of the Family

Dear Baby: As joint owners, you should each be able to invite guests. However, since you are all staying in the house to-gether, it is both considerate and proper to first ask the other residents whether they object to additional company. So while your brother can invite his friend when he uses the lake house on his own, he should ask the rest of you about invit-ing him when you are sharing the house and the meals.

Dear Annie: I am concerned about your response to “Trying” which said it was OK to tell Mom that some of the grandchildren are hurt because they aren’t receiving as much gift money as others.

I think this encourages a sense of en-titlement. Instead of trying to correct Mom’s behavior, I would encourage “Try-ing” to stop comparing gifts and value Mom’s intention to add joy to the lives of all of her family members. -- Mike in Schenectady, N.Y.

Dear Mike: We disagree. The only en-titlement it encourages is that Grandma should treat her grandchildren equally. If all the kids received a lesser gift, it would be fair, and the kids wouldn’t get the impression that Grandma loves some of them more than others. And we think Grandma should know this.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have the right words to make an impression. You have a ten-dency to renew yourself and your thoughts. Encourage others to do the same. You could act in an unpredictable matter. Opportuni-ties knock on your door; it is your choice whether or not to respond. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of a tendency to go over-board, especially today. Someone or something might be so tempt-ing that you might not be able to say “no.” You don’t need to spend any money in order to impress oth-ers -- you are impressive anyway. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You blossom, and someone re-sponds. You could feel as if a child or a new friend is being manipula-tive. A loved one also might not be reliable, as you will see soon. Use your strong personality to draw in more of what you want. Tonight: All smiles.CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Know what is going on behind the scenes, and deal with it as best as you can. A problem could occur in which someone you know might want to reveal his or her true feel-ings. You will land on your feet, no matter what. Use your intuition. Tonight: Get some extra Z’s.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on what works. You could be taken aback by a new perspec-tive. Lie low and watch a situation evolve, as you might not be up for taking any huge risks right now. You will move when you feel more secure. A friend lets you know that he or she supports you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep pushing to achieve what you want. You might have a last-minute show of support or energy. You will accomplish much more than you thought possible and feel pleased with the results. Demon-strate your caring through a card or a token of affection. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be overwhelmed by everything that is going on around you. Listen to your instincts when

dealing with someone at a dis-tance. This person opens you up to a lot of new opportunities. Tonight: Read between the lines.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Relate to a loved one directly, as he or she has an unusual sense of merriment and often can be rather whimsical. You enjoy being around this person, so make plans to visit in the near future. Your attitude could be affected greatly if you don’t get to spend quality time with him or her. Tonight: Dinner for two.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others are quite dominant and lively. You could get into the quirki-ness of the day. A meeting reminds you how much a friendship means to you. Others could elevate your stress level. Throw your rigid-ity away, and everyone will have a good time. Tonight: Accept an invitation.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and don’t allow someone to upset you. Separating your personal life from your pro-fessional or outside life will only make your day-to-day routine simpler and easier. Try not to share

so much private news. Tonight: Off to the gym, or take a walk.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be able to greet the weekend yet, but you will act as if you are. You spontaneously could decide to throw out a project that has become rather complicated. A child or loved one gives you a reason to give in to a more self-indulgent day. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay close to home, or work from home, if possible. Others find you performing on a high level right now, even in this more relaxed situation. You might want to check out an investment that could in-volve your finances or a real-estate matter. Tonight: Happy at home.

LOS ANGELES - A decade after George Lucas said Star Wars was finished on the big screen, a new trilogy is destined for theatres as The Walt Disney Co. an-nounced Tuesday that it was buying Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion.

The seventh movie, with a working title of Episode 7, is set for re-lease in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The new trilogy will carry the story of Luke Sky-walker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond Return of the Jedi, the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new Star Wars movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies.

“For the past 35 years, one of my great-est pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” said Lucas, chairman and CEO of Lucasfilm Ltd. “It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of film-makers.”

The Walt Disney Co. announced the block-buster agreement to buy Lucasfilm in cash and stock Tuesday. The deal includes Lucasfilm’s prized high-tech pro-duction companies, In-dustrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, as well as rights to the Indiana Jones franchise.

Lucas was hailed as a cinematic visionary when the original Star Wars came out in 1977. But he had become an object of often-vicious ridicule by the time he released 3-D versions of all six films in the Star Wars franchise earlier this year.

Die-hard Star War fans had been vilifying Lucas for years, con-vinced that he had be-come a commercial sell-out and had compound-ed his sins by desecrat-ing the heroic tale that he originally sought to tell. Any revision - from little things like making the Ewoks blink or big-ger alterations like mak-ing a green-skinned alien named Greedo take the first shot at Han Solo in a famous bar scene - were treated as blasphemy.

May the Mouse be with you

Lucas sells Star Wars franchise to DisneyThe criticism grated

on Lucas, who vowed never to make another Star Wars movie during an interview with The New York Times earlier this year.

“Why would I make any more when every-body yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?” Lucas told the Times.

Lucas, 68, was fed up by the time he released Red Tails, a movie de-picting the valour of Af-rican-American pilots during the Second World War, earlier this year. He told the Times he was ready to retire from the business of making blockbusters and return to his roots as a student at USC’s film school.

Kathleen Kennedy, the current co-chair-man of Lucasfilm, will become the division’s president and report to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn.

She will serve as execu-tive producer for the new movies.

In a video posted on YouTube, Lucas said the decision to continue with the saga wasn’t in-consistent with past statements.

“I always said I wasn’t going to do any more and that’s true, be-cause I’m not going to do any more, but that doesn’t mean I’m un-willing to turn it over to Kathy to do more,” Lucas said.

He said he has given Kennedy his story lines and other ideas, “and I have complete confi-dence that she’s going to take them and make great movies.”

Kennedy added that she and Lucas had dis-

cussed ideas with a cou-ple of writers about the future movies and said Lucas would continue to have a key advisory role. “My Yoda has to be there,” she said.

The deal brings Lu-casfilm under the Dis-ney banner with other brands including Pixar, Marvel, ESPN and ABC, all companies that Dis-ney has acquired over the years.

A former weather-man who rose through

the ranks of ABC, Iger has orchestrated some of the company’s big-gest acquisitions, in-cluding the $7.4 billion purchase of animated movie studio Pixar in 2006 and the $4.2 billion acquisition of comic book giant Marvel in 2009.

Disney shares were not trading with stock markets closed due to the impact of Super-storm Sandy in New York.

George Lucas has had connections with Disney in the past, including “star wars” rides in Disney parks.

VATICAN CITY _ Five centuries after Michelangelo's ceiling of fres-coes was inaugurated in the Sistine Chapel, Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday celebrated the “sympho-ny of figures'' contemplated during prayer.

Benedict marked the anniversary by saying vespers beneath the fres-coes, as his predecessor Julius II had half a millennium earlier.

The pope said that contemplating the frescoes in the chapel of the Apos-tolic Palace renders them “more beautiful still, more authentic. They reveal all of their beauty.''

“It is as if during the liturgy, all of

this symphony of figures come to life, certainly in a spiritual sense, but in-separably also esthetically,'' the pope said.

At least 10,000 people visit the site each day, raising concerns about tem-perature, dust and humidity affecting the famed art. But a Vatican Museums official says there are no plans to try to limit tourists' access.

Museums Director Antonio Paolucci said in an article in the Vati-can newspaper on Wednesday that sometimes as many as 20,000 people a day visit the chapel. But, he said, for the time being “the adoption of a maximum number (of visitors) will not be necessary.''

OTTAWA - The fed-eral government has frozen immigration levels for the seventh straight year, Immigra-tion Minister Jason Kenney announced Wednesday, noting Canada will admit be-tween 240,000 and 265,000 newcomers in 2013.

Having already in-dicated that Canada was moving to priori-tize young people with strong language and marketable skills, Ken-ney also indicated that the Canada Experi-ence Class would grow

to 10,000, up from 2,500 in 2009.

The stream, which facilitates permanent residency for tempo-rary foreign workers and international post-secondary stu-dents who’ve already gained Canadian ex-perience, has been growing steadily every year.

More than 6,000 were admitted through the program in 2011.

“Immigration plays a vital role in our country’s long-term prosperity,” Kenney said.

“Our 2013 immigra-

tion plan will build on our economic success by bringing in more of the world’s top talent who already have a successful track record in Canada.”

Kenney has not yet said how many new-comers are targeted for admission in 2013 t h ro u g h o t h e r streams.

He’s also not ex-pected to release de-tails about a new points system that will favour youth, those with strong language skills and Canadian work experience just yet.

OTTAWA-Statistics Canada coughed up a $4,000 settlement to a hotel after one of its census enumerators trashed the room he was staying in.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans shelled out $34,500 after losing at sea some sci-entific equipment it had leased.

These claims paid out by Ottawa, outlined in the government’s 2012 public accounts tabled Tuesday, may be embarrassing, but they pale in comparison to the number of costly car accidents involving bu-

reaucrats while at work.For those, the costs

run into the millions.The Department of

Fisheries and Oceans alone spent over $200,000 last year in claims for multiple ac-cidents involving gov-ernment vehicles. Mis-haps on the water were far less frequent - and less costly, with a $1,328 pay out for one single accident involving a crown vessel. DFO also paid a $2,980 settlement for lost lobster gear after it became entangled in scientific monitoring equipment. The depart-ment also paid $15,000 in compensation caused by an undisclosed `inci-

dent.’Employees at Parks

Canada got into their fair share of accidents that came with a much bigger price tag. In addi-tion to $21,825 paid to various car rental opera-tors and insurance com-panies, Parks Canada paid out a settlement of over $1.1-million relat-ed to a single car acci-dent.

The department also paid Bell $4,135 for damage to a telephone installation. In a sepa-rate incident involving a boat, Parks Canada paid out nearly $17,000.

At the Department of National Defence, set-tlement of claims as a result of accidents in-volving departmental vehicles totalled nearly $1.9 million. The pay-outs ranged from $1,018 to a collision repair company to $550,000 in compensation to a per-son.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency staff-ers, meanwhile, cost the agency over $70,000 in insurance claims after crashing government-owned cars and another

$60,000 for a settlement claim for pain and suf-fering linked to a car crash.

Over at Environment Canada, the costs were more modest. The de-partment spent $1,610 to repair a metal shed after an employee hit it while driving a govern-ment car. Another $15,000 was paid to En-terprise Rent-A-Car, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia and others after departmen-tal officials got into car accidents while on the job.

Among the smallest claims itemized in the public accounts, the Jus-tice Department’s Courts Administrative Service compensated an employee $148 after her eyeglasses were damaged while on the job. The Senate paid $390 in compensation for damage to a visitor’s cell phone.

Statistics Canada confirmed Tuesday the payment of $4,000 cov-ered “damage to a hotel room where a Statistics Canada enumerator was staying.”

The Association of Kootenay-Boundary Local Government recently stated it wants more funding from the Province. The

Province would have to raise personal and business taxes to comply with their request or cut spending to healthcare.

Between 2000-2010, local government spending, provincially, increased by 13% a year and debt increased by 6% a year, compared

to 8% and 4% respectively for the provincial government.

Local governments now receive 100% of all traffi c fi ne revenues and three times the unconditional grants received under the NDP.

Cranbrook has also received tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure funding for sewage treatment, roads, the regional hospital, the regional college, spirit square & seniors’ housing projects.

LONDON — Every-one has a few faults. In Beaky’s case, he swears (a lot) and he bites.

Not good qualities for a parrot seeking a new home.

Still, honesty is the best policy, so the Royal Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Ani-mals has decided to come clean about his shortcomings.

Supervisor Angelina Lusher said Wednesday

that anyone who takes Beaky in will have to put up with some rude lan-guage.

The agency also says he tends to bite people until he bonds with them.

Beaky is a chattering lory who will only be given to new owners with experience han-dling exotic birds.

Lusher says Beaky needs interaction with people or other birds to have a fulfilling life.

KIRISHI, Russia — A box in which parents can leave their babies anonymously without any legal risk opened Wednesday in a town in northwestern Russia — part of an effort that ac-tivists hope will save many young lives.

The baby box in Kiri-shi, an industrial town 100 kilometres east of St. Petersburg, is the tenth such facility in Russia. Experts think that’s just a fraction of what is needed.

`Èven if only one child is saved that way it will be worth it,’’ said Ta-tiana Sobolevskya, dep-uty chief of the mater-nity department of Kiri-shi’s hospital, where the baby box is located. Nikolai Muravlev, a Rus-sian Orthodox priest, came to bless the box and praise it as `ìsland of safety.’’

Yelena Kotova, head of Kolybel Nadezhdy (Cradle of Hope), a non-governmen-tal organization, displays a photo of Margarita, a baby girl left in the baby box in Perm, at the opening of a baby box in Kirishi, Russia, Wednesday, Oct. 31.

by a signal. There are no security cameras so par-ents can leave their ba-bies anonymously. An information stand next to the box appeals to parents to think over their decision and offers contact numbers for as-sistance.

Kolybel Nadezhdy (Cradle of Hope), a non-government organiza-tion that opened the baby box, said it should help attract nationwide attention to the issue. Its head, Yelena Kotova, said more than a dozen babies are abandoned

in Russia every month according to official sta-tistics, but she said the real figures are believed to be at least three times higher.

Russian police have registered 268 cases of murder of newborn ba-bies by their mothers in

2010-2011, and Russian media have carried reg-ular reports of babies found in garbage con-tainers, forests or snow-drifts. One of the most recent cases was in St. Petersburg in August, when a man found a 3-day-old baby in a plastic bag in the bush-es. The boy survived and was soon adopted.

Kotova said in her home city of Perm in the Ural Mountains, the bodies of two newborn babies were found on a balcony. A woman who lived there with her other children just felt unable to raise another child, she said.

In July, a five-day-old girl was left in a baby box in Perm with a note giving her name, Mar-garita, and her date of birth. Two more babies were left in baby boxes organized by Russia’s Krasnodar region.

Russia borrowed the baby box idea from other European coun-tries, where they have become quite numer-ous in recent years but have also fueled heated discussions. Critics say they infringe on the rights of mothers and children.

`À baby box isn’t a universal cure, it’s a way to attract attention to the problem and to help women,’’ said Galina Murzakayeva, a co-ordi-nator for the Kirishi project.

c AnAdiAn PressTORONTO — A

warm spring has led to a boom in Toronto’s cat population and now more of them than usual are roaming the streets, pushing the city’s ani-mal shelters over capac-ity.

As many as 300,000 cats are on Toronto’s streets, said Barbara Steinhoff with the To-ronto Humane Society. In a given year there are between 100,000 and 300,000 cats without

homes and this year it’s at the extreme high end of that range, she said.

``Through the spring and summer, with the warm weather, the cats had one more birthing period than we would normally see,’’ she said.

``So we saw a huge influx of kittens coming into the shelter over the summer period.’’

The city’s shelters are full — but still accepting dozens more cats each day — and so are foster homes.

Two Toronto shelters are slashing adoption fees to try to encourage more people to give a cat a home.

Awareness, and not necessarily more shel-ters, will help decrease the number of homeless cats in Toronto, said Lei-

her.``Building more

shelters is almost like a Band-Aid,’’ Leiher said. ``We really need to focus on our education programs so that people are spaying and neuter-ing their cat and keep-ing them supervised.’’

In Memoriam

Callie PetrieOct. 30, 1933 - Nov. 1, 2011

Mother, in tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away.

You suffered much in silence, you fought so hard to stay.

You faced your task with courage, but still you kept fi ghting until the very end.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Margaret Louella Jane VIDAMOUR

1935 - 2012On the afternoon of Thursday, October 18, 2012, MARGARET LOUELLA JANE VIDAMOUR passed away at her home in Cranbrook at the age of 77 years.

Margaret was born in Wycliffe on July 21, 1935, the youngest and last surviving child of five

children born to Charles and Elsie Barnhardt.

She leaves to mourn her passing her husband of 59 years, Robert (Corky) as well as her children; Charles, Jeanette and Mark (Avis) and her grandchildren; Jevin, Lucas (Julie), Colin (Giselle), Alexandra, Justin and Brett.

Margaret was a loving wife and mother, the center of her family. Second to her family, she loved animals and supported any organizations that looked out for their health and well-being. She always had a spare bag of food for the stray cats and baked homemade dog biscuits to give to the neighbours dogs when they would drop by. We were all privileged to have her in our life and will miss her very much.

A gathering to celebrate her life will be held at Corky and Margaret’s home, 2053 Jim Smith Lake Road, Cranbrook on Friday, November 9, 2012 from 2:00 to 6:00 pm. If friends desire, memorial donations may be made in Margaret’s memory to the SPCA, 3339 Hwy 3/95, Cranbrook, BC V1C 7B2. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com

It is with great sadness that the family of Rodney Meeks announces his passing at the age of 73, after a lengthy illness. Rodney was born in Cranbrook to Norma and Elias Meeks and spent his whole life in Cranbrook. He worked as a Fireman and ambulance man.

He was a very dedicated and hardworking person who looked back fondly on his years of service. He told many stories about the great times and wonderful friends at the fire hall. He loved his hunting and fishing and also watching sports, especially NHL hockey.

Rodney is predeceased by his father Elias Meeks (1982) and his mother Norma Meeks (1984).

He is survived by his sister, Audrey Baker of Cranbrook and brother Raymond (Janet) Meeks of Chase, BC.

He married June Srubowich and they had three daughters, Debbie (Larry), Deena, Karen (Earl). His grandchildren Tammy (Jesse), Alan (Tracy), Scott (Christian), & Brady. Great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Beloved friend Helen Biafore and Linda (Jack) Hummel. Many thanks to the staff of Cranbrook Regional Hospital, St. Joseph’s Creek Care Home, The King’s and the Ambulance Society.

“You will be deeply missed by us all”

I stood upon a mountain top,My hands were lifted high,Giving praise to Jesus, I love you was my cry.His presence was so precious, To serve Him became my goal,That day upon a mountain top,I really was made whole. - Written by Callie

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,You taught us love, gave us strength,And now you’ve earned your rest,Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.Love your hubby Bill, Dave, Kim & Dallas

CHRIS A MAKELKI (Oct 13, 1933 - Oct 28, 2011)

Chris passed away 1 year ago in White Rock BC, after bat-tling Dementia, surrounded by his daughter Diane (& Brian), son Brent (& Donna), plus Grandaughters; Kayli, Elyse, Cheyanne and Breena. Chris was predeceased by his wife Phyllis in 2004. Chris moved his family to Cranbrook in 1972 from Nelson (formerly Saskatoon SK) and worked as a heavy duty mechanic. He al-ways joked about “just pulling wrenches” but he was highly skilled and admired for his abilities. Chris had many great friends and co-workers in Cranbrook and valued meeting the boys for coffee after retire-ment. Chris and Phyllis moved to Chilliwack in 1996 and made some new friends but the ones in Cranbrook were very dear to their hearts. Both Chris and Phyillis were layed to rest together at the Sunney-side Cemetery in South Surrey BC close to family.
