City looking to put more conferences in the Conference Centre

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley subsidizes the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Train-ing Centre to the tune of $140,000 per year.

That’s a pretty substantial amount of money, says Mayor Don McCormick, al-though municipal subsidies of conference centres are the norm.

“Conference centres do not make money,” he said. “They are there to drive people into accommodations and bring people to town, and keep them there for a few days.”

However there are certain types of bookings that are more desirable than others. For instance, a wedding is a book-ing for an evening but a conference for several days brings far more revenue into town.

“We are looking for conferences with groups of at least 250 staying at least four days,” McCormick said. “250 people in town visit restaurants, spend money. These type of events spend more than weddings.”

Just that type of conference will be in Kimberley this week, when the BC Com-munity Futures Annual Meeting will be held at the conference centre. The meet-ing is expected to bring upwards of 250 people to town for several days, and time has been blocked off for guests to enjoy Kimberley’s golf courses and tourist ame-nities.

To seek out that type of business, an independent sales contractor has been hired by the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre.

Remuneration for the contractor will come directly out of the City’s contribu-tion to Tourism Kimberley, not the confer-ence centre budget.

TAYLO R R O CC A

I got into my truck, pulled out of The Townsman parking lot just before

4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon and made my way east.

I knew where I was heading but I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Just two days earlier, the small mountain town of Blair-more rocked by the tragic reality of a double-murder. 

Two-year-old Hailey Dun-bar-Blanchette — taken far be-fore the world could see the light of her electric smile shine and conquer the mountains sur-

rounding her — and her 27-year-old father Terry Blanchette — gone.

It’s the type of reality no com-munity should ever be chal-lenged with.

The loss of young life is al-ways difficult to comprehend.

So, what should have been a normal “day at the office” for me as the Kootenay Ice met the Le-thbridge Hurricanes in the Crowsnest Pass for Western Hockey League pre-season play, was going to be anything but that.

This much I knew.In 2013, in the midst of my

first full-time job in journalism, living in Kindersley, Sask. — the west central hub in the Land of Living Skies — I was faced with interviewing the local high-school football team after an 18-year-old teammate, class-mate and friend, was taken from the community suddenly — lost to a head-on collision just west of Rosetown and less than 80 kilometres from home.

The loss of that bright and talented young man, to a tragic and completely uncontrollable event, rocked the core of a tight-knit community of nearly 4,700. 

But that was a completely dif-

ferent kind of loss.To intentionally snuff an in-

nocent and pure spark hits like nothing else can.

I spent as much of my 170-km drive along the Crowsnest Highway trying to keep the heart-wrenching story from my mind.

This was my second time vis-iting the Crowsnest Pass for the WHL Thunder Challenge — an annual event in its seventh year raising for funds for the local minor hockey program in the area.

Trevor CrawleyIt was ladies night at

the Tamarack Mall last week as the 13th annual Cops for Kids All-Male Fashion Show hit the catwalk to raise money to assist children that are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis in the southern B.C. Interior

Each of the male models were part of a 25-strong crew of cy-clists on a 1,000 kilome-tre tour of the region as part of the Cops for Kids ride.

The models wore ap-parel donated by busi-nesses within the Tama-rack Centre, while money was raised through donations and a silent auction, with musical performances scattered in-between.

Earlier on Wednes-day afternoon, the Cops for Kids riders arrived in Cranbrook after braving colder temperatures and some rainy weather conditions. Despite the inclement weather, which included snow, hail and heavy precipi-tation, their spirits were

not dampened in the slightest.

Once the group ar-rived, it was off to the local branch of TD Bank—one of the spon-sors of the ride. A cheque was presented to A/Cst Jeff Young from TD Bank representative Pam Hebert.

Following dinner at Boston Pizza, it was off to the fashion show.

“Funds raised from the fashion show are donated to the Cops for Kids who are commit-ted to assisting children that are in medical, physical or traumatic crisis,” wrote Cpl. Chris Newel in a press release. “They tirelessly work to raise funds to continue their ongoing support to the children in com-munities that they serve. Cops for Kids is devoted to helping little hearts, in our commu-nities!”

Cops For Kids has many events through-out the year, however the signature event is the Cops for Kids Ride. This gruelling ten-day

Cops, on epic bike ride, strut the catwalkCops for Kids rolled through Cranbrook on Wednesday. Chris Newel photo

ride occurs each year over some very chal-lenging terrain.

The next day it was off to the ABC Restau-rant for breakfast and then to Fort Steele. For nine years, local pho-tographer Brian Clark-son has taken a team photo out at Fort Steele

before the group heads to Golden and Revel-stoke to continue the journey.

The 10-day ride wraps up in Kelowna on Sunday, Sept 20. For information on donat-ing or applying for funds go to copsforkids.org.

• To test for radon you buy a radon detector from your local Lung Association or your local hardware store. Just be sure to get a long-term radon test.

• Follow the instructions that come with your radon test.

• In general, you:• Put the test device on the lowest level of your house

that you use regularly (the level where you spend four hours a day or more). This could be your base-ment or your main floor.

• Make sure the test device is in a safe place, where it won’t get knocked over.

• Leave the test device in place for at least three months.

• Mail the test device to the company’s laboratory. The test will come with a mailing label and package. All you have to do is put the test device in the pack-age and drop it in a post box.

• The company will analyze test device in their labora-tory and mail you the results.

From Page 1A conference accommodation book-

ing system has also been developed.As part of the conference accommo-

dation booking service accommodators are charged 20 per cent commission. This service revenue has generated an incremental $20,000 in conference cen-

tre revenue since collection began on accommodations booked since January 2015.

“The 20 per cent commission on rooms from the accommodators will go directly to the subsidy,” McCormick said. “We’ve hired the salesman to drive these large conference sales. If we don’t do this we will have to subsidize even more.”

Kimberley City Council is hoping the addition of a sales contractor will drive more large conference sales.

Certain regions of British Columbia, includ-ing the East Kootenay area, are known as being high risk for radon gas.

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs when ura-nium in soil and rock breaks down. Radon can come into your home through sump pumps, cracks in foundations, spaces around pipes, un-finished floors, and other places.

After smoking it is the leading cause of lung cancer death in Canada, according to the Lung As-sociation. This Novem-ber is Radon Aware Month and the Lung As-sociation is asking mu-nicipalities to assist in getting information out to their citizens.

Recent changes to the BC Building Code require that new construction in-cludes radon detection. But what of the older homes?

That’s one of the mes-sages the Lung Associa-tion wants to get out — that there are simple, low cost tests for radon in older homes and if it is detected, cost-effective

ways to deal with it.If radon does get

trapped in your home, you can’t see it, smell it or taste it. The only way to know if you have radon in your home is to test for it.

It’s best to test for radon over the winter months, when there is less ventilation (less air movement) in your home.

What you do de-pends on how much radon there is, once your test results are in. Radon is measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m3).

If your home’s radon level is less than 200 Bq/m3, Health Canada radon guidelines say that no action is re-quired. However, even low levels of radon can be harmful. It’s a good idea to try to lower your home’s radon level as much as possible, even if it’s already below 200 Bq/m3.

If your home’s radon level is between 200 and 600 Bq/m3, you should repair your home in the next two years.

If your home’s radon level is over 600 Bq/m3,

you should repair your home within one year.

To lower the radon level, you need to hire a contractor to:

Figure out where the radon is coming in and complete repairs to block it from coming in

A trained contractor

with experience in radon mitigation (radon repairs) can examine your home, find where the radon is seeping in, and make the necessary repairs.

Creston RCMP are investigat-ing a fatal accident at J.H. Hu-scroft Ltd. last Tuesday. The in-vestigation was expected to wrap up at the end of hte week before turning the file over to Work Safe BC, said a statement released by Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond.

Just after 2:30 p.m. Sept. 15,

Creston RCMP were dispatched to the Erickson mill for the report of a workplace accident.

“A 28-year-old male employee was transported to a local area hospital where he was pro-nounced deceased,” said the RCMP statement. “Preliminary investigations have revealed that the victim was pinned between a large stacker and the sort deck on

which he was working.”The BC Coroners Service re-

leased the victim’s name at 12:20 this afternoon, identifying him as Dustin William John Gerlinsky of Kitchener.

A www.gofundme.com cam-paign was started by Creston res-ident and business owner Brandy Hunt, and has raised nearly $28,700 for Gerlinsky’s family.

A candlelight vigil was held for in honor of Terry Blanchette father of Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette who were both murdered in a small Blairmore community East of Cranbrook in Alberta, was held at Rotary Park in Cranbrook last Saturday.

From Page 1

The arena was bathed in the warm glow of the September sun, perched high on the hill over-looking the valley. It’s the sort of landscape art-ists dream of recreating on canvas.

I walked through the doors and the warmth was gone, though not because of the refrigerat-ed ice maintained in-side. 

Brave faces wel-comed me, each with a smile, as I deposited my donation for the local minor hockey program.

Blairmore, a town of little more than 2,000 people, is like any other

rural community. It’s as much a tight-knit, ex-tended family as it is a small mountain settle-ment. When tragedy strikes, it strikes every-one with a blow colder than any southern Al-berta winter wind.

A moment of silence before puck drop. 

I make my way around the arena throughout the game, doing my regular thing — taking photos, ques-tioning the officiating, and reminding myself how smart I was to wear wool socks.

I overhear people in the building — people I can only assume are lo-

cals. “This is happening in

our community. They’re taking our children.”

It’s haunting to hear. People were only just

getting an opportunity to begin truly processing the tragedies.

Shortly after Mon-day’s Amber Alert hit desks in newsrooms across western Canada, a national media circus touched down in the Crowsnest Pass — a di-verse, rural municipality comprising the towns of Blairmore and Coleman, and villages of Bellevue and Frank.

The circus didn’t leave town until after

22-year-old Derek Saretzky had been charged Wednesday.

Thursday was the first real respite from the full-on emotional roller-coaster.

The Ice lost 3-2 to the Hurricanes, a mere foot-note in my day.

I trekked back to the Crowsnest on Saturday for the finale of the Thunder Challenge.

Once again, as it al-ways seems to do, the sun beamed down upon the beautiful expanse of the valley. 

I walked through the doors, and once again smiles greeted me. 

The rink was packed

— not a seat to be found — much different from the quiet, calm Thursday crowd. 

I spoke with a local reporter who told me how his small, commu-nity newspaper broke the story over Facebook.

We didn’t know what had happened, just that something bad had hap-pened, he told me.

Those words will never come close to cap-turing just how bad the events were as they un-folded over the next 48 hours. 

But happened over 48 hours from Thursday, inspired.

Earlier in the night, a local RCMP officer stepped on to the ice to make the 50/50 draw. There was a sizeable prize on the line for those with tickets in hand.

The officer spoke and the crowd responded

with a warm, supportive applause and cheer, al-most a “thank you” for his detachment’s service throughout a week most only read about in big-city news. 

The local reporter told me the hockey pro-

vided a needed relief for the community.

The Hitmen doubled up the Ice 4-2. 

But what resonated most with me was the strength shown by a community rocked with unimaginable tragedy.

I got into my truck, pulled out of the arena parking lot in the Crows-nest Pass just before 10 p.m. Saturday night and made my way west.

I knew where I was heading.

What I took with me was a reminder of how short life can be, how much it should be cher-ished.

The people of Crows-nest Pass taught me about resolve.

What could have been a normal “day at the office” for me was anything but.

Whether it’s your son, daughter, mother, father, friend or neighbour — take the time to tell them “I love you” today.

Townsman sTaffThe Noteables are back, and are ready to

swing the house at a special fundraiser, set for Friday.

Cranbrook’s big band is bringing its swinging sound to the Heritage Inn on Sept. 25 for a benefit dance — Aggie’s Fall Fling — aiming to help support caregivers for elderly people in Cranbrook.

The event is being organized by Kevin Dunk and the Cranbrook Caregivers Group.

Dunk spoke about how the event touches him personally, as it pays homage to his own caregiving journey with his late mother Aggie.

“As someone who was a caregiver for a number of years for my Mother Aggie, I feel incredibly blessed to be involved with Aggie’s

Fall Fling, supporting Cranbrook caregivers,” he said. “I’m very excited about the Fall Fling — how it will honour my mother and at the same time provide a rest for those who are caregiving for a loved one. This is an essential component in enhancing their own health and well-being.”

As the population ages, the role of family caregivers has become more prominent as care in the familiar surroundings of the home may delay the onset of some symptoms, and postpone or eliminate the need for more pro-fessional costs as well. Family caregivers often give up time from work and forego pay in order to spend an average of 47 hours a week with a loved one, who frequently cannot be left alone.

Aggie’s Fall Fling is raising funds to sup-

port caregivers by providing patient comforts or help bring in and deliver educational ma-terials for caregivers and their families.

The event will also bring together all of those caregiving for loved ones and give them an opportunity to mix and mingle.

Aggie’s Fall Fling is a recognized and ap-proved fundraising event for the East Koote-nay Foundation for Health. Donations raised at the event will be stewarded for caregiver programs in Cranbrook. For more informa-tion about the event, call Kevin Dunk at 250-426-2450.

Tickets for Aggie’s Fall Fling are available at Lotus Books, at the door, or on-line at SNAP’d East Kootenay. Donations in support of the Cranbrook Caregivers are also greatly appreciated.

I feel compelled to write to advise you of a slight inaccuracy in the article (attached) printed in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman/Bulletin on September 1st regarding the Diversity @ Work Award given to the Park Operator of our   East Kootenay camp-grounds.

Recognition should go to Jenna on be-half of her company EK Parks.   BC Parks, which is part of a Division within the Minis-try of Environment, cannot take credit for their great participation and support of the Employment Options Program.

That said, we are extremely pleased that Jenna and EK Parks are receiving the recog-nition they so well deserve.

Mill ClosureThe popular question is: “What’s wrong

with this picture?”Canfor’s announcement recently to per-

manently close the Canal Flats sawmill due to “a lack of economically available fibre supply...” is a classic example of exploitation of our public forests and flies in the face the company’s policies regarding its commit-ment to communities and sustainability. Here are direct quotes from their “2014 Sustainability Report”:

Communities“Canfor is a respected member of every

community where we operate. At the end of the day, we want our neighbors to feel the community is stronger because Canfor is part of it.”

Performance“Our actions demonstrate our commit-

ment to sustainability in everything we do in every part of our operations everyday.”

I bet the 80 laid off workers and their families, along with the town of Canal Flats, would have some strong opinions regarding these statements!

Do you know that Canfor has closed many Canadian mills in the past few years for the same reasons? Do you know that their 2014 annual report proudly crows about the recent purchase of six sawmills in the southern USA and their “rich and sus-tainable fibre supplies”? Is this Canfor’s idea of commitment to Canadians? The pattern is beginning to look a lot like “Cut and Run”!

As a retired professional forester I am particularly concerned that this mill closure is another example of the failure of our present forest management system to pro-tect the public interest, not just jobs, but the forest itself. Obviously, the remaining “eco-nomically viable fibre supply” is under con-siderable pressure with the consequence of negative impacts on our views, water, wild-life and recreational opportunities. If you have any doubts, get in your vehicle and drive the forest roads to see for yourself!

The company’s history has shown that its only a matter of time until another there is another mill closure — when the fibre

runs out. Which workers will be next? Where is the government and professional forester oversight to ensure the public inter-est is protected?

We can’t let the degradation of our for-ests and erosion of our jobs (to our compet-itors south of the border) continue. It’s time we look at the many viable alternatives to the relentless pursuit of multinational cor-porations for ultimate control of our public forests.

Jim Smith, RPF (ret)Creston

KudosI suppose I’m like a lot of people and

only write Letters to the Editor when I have a complaint or beef about something, but I thought I would try to change that by writ-ing this letter to compliment our City Staff.

Over the course of the last year of so, I have had several  occasions to deal with the city on various issues.  This has ranged from the admin staff, to engineering, to public works.

I have been treated with the utmost courtesy, professionalism and efficiency and I feel we are particularly well served by our city staff in this community.

Also, it is great to see all the paving done on our city streets this year.  It is nice to see our council follow through with their cam-paign priorities.

Dirk meissnerCanadian Press

British Columbia is aiming to increase the number of wolves it kills this winter in the second year of a plan to save endangered caribou, prompt-ing criticism from celebrities and renewed debate over the controversial strategy.

The wolf cull is the best shot to protect threatened caribou from extinction, say caribou ex-perts and government officials, who admit it will take years to determine if the science behind killing wolves works.

“It’s like trying to dial a radio

station in with boxing gloves on,” said Tom Ethier, an assis-tant deputy minister at B.C.’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which oversees the cull. “We’re really trying to figure out: does this work?”

The government planned to kill about 200 wolves last win-ter, but a low snowpack and bad weather made the hunt difficult, he said. Sharpshoot-ers in helicopters killed 84 wolves in B.C.’s northeast and southeast regions, Ethier said.

Wolves are preying on the herds, reducing some caribou

in those areas to the point of near extinction, he said.

“We did not meet our goal, so this year there could be more wolves removed,” Ethier said.

The South Selkirk caribou herd had just 18 animals in March 2014, down from 46 in 2009, the government stated. There are about 950 caribou in seven herds in the northeast, with wolves responsible for 40 per cent of deaths in four of those herds.

“This is why we need to act,” Ethier said. “In five years, we’re hoping to turn it around and

hoping it tells us this technique works. Obviously, we would prefer choices that are not as striking as this one, and not so loaded emotionally.”

The ethical dilemma forces the government to either kill wolves in an attempt to save a species or do nothing and leave the caribou.

Since 2007, the province’s mountain caribou recovery program has protected 2.2-mil-lion hectares of habitat in the South Selkirk, and in 2012 the government protected about 400,000 hectares of habitat in the South Peace.

B.C. to increase wolf cull to save caribou

PAGE 6 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2015

“Eh?” Me. Far too frequently.

Quite recently I was hoping to dine in a local restaurant. My friend and I have been going out on Wednesday evenings, trying out the various eating places in the vicinity of Kimberley and Cranbrook. It has, so far, been an interesting gastronomic exercise but we have been having some linguistic problems.

For example, in a well-es-tablished eating place the other day we had some con-fusion that the management should have been prepared for. Although everyone working there was quite pleasant and my particular companion felt that the ambiance suited him quite well, even though he can be ex-tremely fussy about this, neither one of us could understand what the staff members were saying.

Well, I am accustomed to this; it has happened to me all over the world. How-ever, at the same time, I have been served by men and women who spoke very rea-sonable, grammatical English, even in Thailand, Bosnia and Quebec.

But those attractive young women in the local restaurant had my companion and me flabbergasted. Although, appar-ently keen and willing to serve us, they could have been speaking Hindi.

But it wasn’t an Indian restaurant.Finally, in exasperation, I tottered to my

feet, pulled myself up to my full height, which used to be six feet (1.87 kilograms), and put on my old school-master face.

My companion rose too, tottered a little until two young ladies rushed to his aid, then he got himself upright, a stalwart by my side.

Enunciating carefully, I said, “Now lis-ten here! What you have before you are two English-speaking elderly gentlemen who,

incidentally, are not hard of hearing, but are finding it difficult to interpret your gabble. Mr Mulcair, who you must know is trying to be the next prime minister of this great country of ours, wants seniors to age with dignity but, being

forced to cup our hands to our ears in order to understand young people, it is a tough row to hoe.”

I paused to catch my breath and for my oration to sink in but, as usual, nobody seemed to understand. My companion wanted to know what I was going on about and sank back into his seat, turned the menu up the right way, and tried to com-prehend its contents.

I wonder if it I the same every genera-tion; the young always seem to be speaking incredibly fast or is it that the oldsters’ hearing slows down. I am tired of saying, “Eh?” in my own country.

I remember travelling in Holland. I spoke no Dutch at all but, everywhere, folk tried hard to make themselves understood,

often in good simple English. At a road-side café we stopped for lunch and were attended by a charming girl, probably no older than sixteen, who made sure that our needs were served.

Then a family of Americans entered; they were pleasant, cheerful and boister-ous but refused to speak an English that the young waitress could understand. They wanted eggs ‘over easy’ or ‘sun-ny-side up’; they didn’t want toast; they’d love hash-browns. The poor Dutch girl was confused and it was my lovely wife who intervened. “For crying out loud,” she said, “Speak English not slang. If you want fried eggs, let her cook fry them. If you want bacon, just say so. Nobody here has heard of hash-browns. I certainly haven’t.” She sat down.

After a short silence, the man of the family came over to us and said quite hum-bly, “We forget. Please tell the girl we’re sorry.”

“Tell her yourself,” said my wife. “Use simple English and speak slowly.”

And that must become the rule. Every-where we go these days people are turning more and more to English so it becomes necessary to use what is left of my native tongue slowly and succinctly, enunciated precisely. That way, you won’t confuse foreigners who are trying so hard to make themselves understood or those old cod-gers standing there with their gnarled hands cupped over their ears and mutter-ing, “Eh?”

The ‘Eh?’-word: Maybe it wasn’t Hindi

Hitmen double Ice to close WHL pre-season

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs prepares for a shot from Hitmen forward Jordy Stallard Saturday night in the Crowsnest Pass. The Hitmen went on to a 4-2 win over the Ice to close out pre-season play.

Taylor rocc aFor the second con-

secutive outing, the Kootenay Ice were their own worst enemies.

The Ice wrapped up the 2015 Western Hock-ey League pre-season Saturday in the Crows-nest Pass, falling 4-2 to the Calgary Hitmen.

While turnovers cost the Ice in a 3-2 loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes Thursday, it was a lack of discipline killing mo-mentum in the final fall tune-up on Saturday.

“We shot ourselves in the foot. We talked about this last time,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “This time we did it in a little differ-ent way. We killed our own momentum.”

After falling behind 2-0 midway through the first period, the Ice pushed back against a strong Hitmen squad.

Rookie forward Max Patterson capped the first-period response by the Ice, firing a long shot from the right wing that evaded the blocker of Hitmen goaltender Lasse Petersen. With 1:34 remaining in the opening period, the Ice were on the board and back in the game.

The momentum car-ried over to the second period before every-thing unraveled.

Midway through the period, Elliott Peterson redirected a Loch Mor-rison point shot past Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs to restore the

two-goal advantage for Calgary.

“I think our team just wasn’t really prepared coming in,” Hobbs said Saturday. “We have to be more mentally pre-pared coming in…We just have to work harder. Sometimes in the game, we’re just not putting that extra effort in. If we can do that, I think we’re going to do fine.”

Hobbs is looking to battle his way into a per-manent role with the Ice in 2015-16.

The native of Saska-toon appeared in two contests for the Ice in 2014-15, registering a 3.98 goals-against aver-age and .875 save per-centage.

Through two pre-sea-son appearances this fall, Hobbs went 1-1-0 while steering aside 62 of the 68 shots sent his way.

With veteran Wyatt Hoflin already in town and Keelan Williams re-turning, the crease won’t be an easy place to lay claim to this fall.

“When I came in last year, I was pretty ner-vous,” Hobbs said. “I didn’t know what to ex-pect. But I found where I wanted to be and settled down through the game. I try doing that in these games, too. Early on, I try to tell myself, ‘Just calm down. You’ll play your best.’

“My number-one goal is to make the team. I hope that can happen. Coming through Octo-ber, I hope I can keep up

my game and keep play-ing to my best.

“Both Hof and Willy are good guys. It’s good to have them mentor me. They’re older guys, they know what the league’s like and they tell me what I need to do. I appreciate that. It’s been really good.”

Moments after Peter-son’s goal, veteran Ice forward Matt Alfaro was sent off for high-sticking.

On the ensuing power play, Hitmen for-ward Taylor Sanheim went to the net and was rewarded for his efforts as a loose puck landed on his tape. A helpless Hobbs couldn’t do much as the veteran for-ward deposited the gift into an open cage.

Just like that, the Hit-men had turned a close, one-goal game into a 4-1 uphill climb for the Ice.

“We got undisci-plined and selfish a little bit and took all momen-tum away from our-selves,” Pierce said. “That’s a big part of the game, trying to control that.

“Everybody focuses on details of systems and things like that. For me, the bigger lesson we need to learn is our game management. By that, I mean a lot about momentum, trying to control it and not letting major swings go the other way and knowing how to put a stop to their momentum.”

From there, an expe-rienced Hitmen squad

was content to manage the three-goal cushion against a younger Ice outfit.

Import forward Roman Dymacek took advantage of a pow-er-play midway through the third period to pull the Ice within two goals, but there was no more offense to be found as the Hitmen claimed a 4-2 victory to close out the pre-season.

“Today, wasn’t his best game, but he’s got that ability,” Pierce said of the 18-year-old Czech import. “He can kind of disappear for a while, then show up and create a chance. He’s got great speed and he’s starting to understand the sys-tems stuff a little bit bet-ter. It’s a tough barrier — the language thing. It’s a new thing for me, so I have to take more time, individually, with Roman to help him, but he’s willing. He plays

hard.“He’s not your typical

Don Cherry type of Eu-ropean.”

Dymacek came to the Ice via the 2015 CHL Import Draft.

The native of Hodo-nin, Czech Republic, doesn’t speak much En-glish as of yet, politely declining an interview Saturday. He was able to divulge that he’s set to begin English classes at Cranbrook’s College of the Rockies this Monday.

Despite being sad-dled with the loss, the 17-year-old Hobbs was strong, turning aside 28 shots including a num-ber of high-quality scor-ing opportunities in tight.

“Declan is a battler,” Pierce said. “The shot count wasn’t as high in that first period, but I think every shot they had was a good scoring chance or a high-quality chance. He doesn’t quit

on anything. Much like Wyatt [Hoflin], he’s very active with the puck as well. We’re going to need that with how much time we’re going to spend stuck in our end. If he can move a puck out and make a pass, that’s going to relieve a lot of pres-sure from our oppo-nent’s forecheck.”

Hitmen forward Beck Malenstyn provid-ed a power-play tally to open the scoring in the first period, before Mark Kastelic doubled the lead with an even-strength goal from just

outside the blue paint.Petersen, 18, made 23

saves for his third victory of the WHL pre-season.

With the loss, the Ice finish the pre-season 2-3-1-0. The victory boosted the Hitmen to a perfect 7-0-0-0.

The Ice and Hitmen will take five days away from one another before renewing their long-standing Central Division rivalry.

The Ice host the Hit-men Friday at Western Financial Place in Cran-brook to open the WHL’s 50th season.

Ice pare roster by threeTaylor rocc a

The Kootenay Ice roster got a little slimmer Sun-day, as the team announced the reassignment of forwards Drew Warkentine (1998), Harris Pearce (1999) and defenceman Mark O’Shaughnessy (1997).

“It’s always tough, it’s the worst part of the job,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “We’ve got to start to move forward now. Whether we’re fully confident in the moves we’re going to make or not, we have to live with it and try to give ourselves the best chance moving forward.”

Warkentine is expected to return home to focus on his studies, while Pearce is headed for the Vancou-ver Northeast Chiefs of the B.C. Major Midget League. O’Shaughnessy’s destination is to be determined.

The Ice roster now sits at 28 (three goaltenders, 11 defencemen, 14 forwards).

Dear Annie: Our daughter and her husband are major hoarders. They have two teenage children who have to climb over things to get into their beds. Every room has piles of junk. They will not get rid of anything because “one day, it may be valuable.” They never invite anyone into their home, which is a disaster and in major disrepair. We are concerned for their health, but we’re afraid that if we challenge them, we will be cut off. We are also concerned that their home is a fire risk. There is so much flammable stuff, and so few clear pathways, that were ever a fire, they would all likely die. How can we approach this without disastrous results? -- Worried Mother Dear Mother: These types of problems are heartbreaking, because sometimes, there is little you can do. A great deal of hoarding consists of simply collecting too much (of anything), having difficulty getting rid of things and problems with organization. Many hoarders won’t admit that anything is amiss. First, check to see if your area has a Hoarding Task Force. Then contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information. The organization also provides referrals and suggestions for talking to someone with a hoarding problem, stressing positive talk about safety, without using judgmental terms such as “junk” or telling them they live in a “trash heap.” Please look into it and find out how you can best approach your daughter so she receives the help she needs. Dear Annie: I’ve been fighting a terminal illness for close to three years. I never cease to be amazed by what some “friends” say to me. Sometimes their comments seem so heartless. One friend said, “Well, least your mother isn’t living with you.” (Hers is.) Another told me, “At least you’re not going through a divorce.” (She is.) And the best one: “At least you didn’t have to watch your screaming grandkids all weekend.” (She did.) Annie, I have been through a divorce, my mother did live with me for a while, and I can only pray I get to meet my grandchildren before my numbered days are up. Please share this advice with your readers: If you aren’t sure what to say to someone in my circumstances, simply say, “I’m so sorry you have to go through all of this.” I don’t need people trying to convince me that their lives are worse than mine. I would trade places with any of them in a heartbeat. -- Dying Too Young Dear Too Young: Your friends, like the rest of us, see our own problems as huge hurdles, but yours puts theirs into perspective. Your friends also are trying to minimize the seriousness of your situation because that provides comfort for them, and they assume it does for you, as well. They are mistaken, but they won’t know unless you are brave enough to tell them. You shouldn’t have to spend your social encounters resenting your friends for these thoughtless comments. Explain that you’d rather talk about other things and tell them why. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

For the townsmanWith the hot sum-

mer months winding down, BC Wildfire Ser-vice crews can now focus their efforts on the proactive burning of se-lected areas in accor-dance with the long-term plan of enhancing native plant and animal life as well as creating conditions for more fire-resilient communi-ties.

In addition to en-hancing natural habitat for a variety of fauna and flora, selected pre-scribed burning creates a mixture on the land-scape, so large areas have less fuel available to burn in the event of a wildfire, which decreas-es its severity, and po-tentially lessens its im-pact on communities.

These particular ecosystem restoration burns promote plant succession by rejuve-nating existing grass and native plants within the area. It also de-creases the amount of live trees, which will create larger canopy openings. Historically,

the Rocky Mountain Trench was an open valley bottom with very few trees present. Natu-rally-occurring low-in-tensity fires burned every five to seven years in the valley bottom, while more intense fires burned at about 20-year intervals at higher ele-vations.

Since the absence of wildfires in recent de-cades, many areas have become overgrown and no longer represent the natural attributes of this unique biological zone. By increasing canopy openings, controlled burns enhance plant habitat by allowing more areas to be ex-posed to sunlight and precipitation. Once na-tive plants repopulate the area, many animal species such as mule deer, elk and sheep once again use these areas as foraging grounds.

Fire has played a piv-otal role in preserving biodiversity in many areas, the Trench in particular. In fact, through evolution and

exposure to wildfire, many plants and ani-mals have adapted to fire and actually depend on it to regenerate.

The benefits of these planned ecosystem res-toration burns are many, and include the improvement and reju-venation of winter rang-es for elk, deer and

sheep. Reintroducing fire to this fire-depen-dant ecosystem ensures targeted trees will thrive while biodiversity is en-hanced across the land-scape. Low-to-moder-ate intensity prescribed fire also returns the area to its natural state.

In addition to the im-portant role wildfire

plays in maintaining biodiversity, its role in protecting communities

from catastrophic wild-fires cannot be under-stated. This past sum-mer alone, previously burned areas were a sig-nificant factor in the suppression of two in-terface fires within the Southeast Fire Centre.

The geographic lo-cations of the pre-scribed ecosystem res-toration burns planned for the East Kootenay are as follows:

Raymond and Don-ald Creek — these areas, totalling 450 hectares in size, are located in the Galton Range. Smoke from this prescribed burn will be highly visi-ble from Highway 93 and the communities of Jaffray, Baynes Lake, Koocanusa and Elko. Once ignited, this area will be allowed to burn, under supervision, until the winter.

Wolf Creek — This 250-hectare planned burn is above Quartz Lake, in the Premier Provincial Park. Smoke will be visible from Wasa Lake and high-ways 95 and 95.

Estella Face — This 150-hectare area is south of Lazy Lake. Its smoke will be visible from several areas, in-cluding Wasa, highways 93 and 95 and Ta Ta Creek.

Burn Bottom — This 380-hectare scheduled burn is adjacent to the community of Krag-mont, just outside of Baynes Lake. There has been previous slashing work done to this area. Smoke from this project will be visible from highway 93 and the communities of Baynes Lake, Jaffray, Elko and surrounding areas.

EKFH prepares for the November launch of its 8th annual Starlite Cam-paign donations are al-ready arriving to help light up the large bril-liant blue stars or the smaller green & white stars.

What has become a tradition for residents at the Eagle’s Nest RV Re-sort a summer get to-gether takes on a chari-table meaning with ev-eryone joining in to raise funds for the Starlite Campaign and the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital oncology unit.

This year the resort’s entertainment director Larry Warren led the

residents through fun filled days of activities. By the end of the camp-ing season an astonish-ing $7,200 was gener-ously given to recognize and honour Janice “Billy” Salomons who lost her battle with can-cer on July 12.

“Our family is deeply moved by the generosity of our friends and neigh-bours here at Eagle’s Nest. When that star lights up for Billy it will truly honour her cour-age and grace of never letting her diagnosis stop her from loving and living life to its fullest,” said John Salomons.

On November 27, this donation combined with several others; will

light the first two of the 17 large stars atop the regional hospital.

This year’s Starlite Campaign is focused on raising much-needed funds for regional and community health pro-grams. These programs are dedicated to helping those with arthritis, dia-betes, heart disease, re-spiratory needs, and more or for those who may require help with chronic disease man-agement, home care nursing, in-home oxy-gen, wound, senior, pe-diatric and self-care pro-grams.

For more informa-tion about EKFH and its mission call 1-877-489-6481 or 250 489-6481.
