TownSman STaFFA review on new techniques
to keep elk off agicultural land will be presented this week to the public in Cranbrook.
Based on this review, there are effective and practical aver-sive conditioning techniques that can potentially be used by land managers to deter elk in the South Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) of British Co-lumbia.
As well, advanced technolo-gies and strategies have poten-tial to re-instate migratory be-havior in resident elk to further reduce crop depredation.
The review on literature re-view on aversive conditioning techniques was conducted by Justin Mufford and Dr. John Church, both with Thompson Rivers University, and will be presented Thursday, Sept. 25, at the Heritage Inn.
A press release from the Rocky Mountain Trench Eco-system Restoration Society de-scribes how crop depredation on agricultural land, whether Crown or private, by Rocky
Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), is a frequent occur-ance in this region.
This problem has increased in recent years as many agri-cultural land managers have suffered annual devastating fi-nancial losses in their crop pro-duction.
The elk population sur-veyed in 2013 in the SRMT has an estimate of 7,697 elk and a significant portion of this pop-ulation are non-migratory “res-ident” elk that no longer mi-grate to high elevations in the spring and instead, seek forage year round in low elevation ag-
ricultural land.Common methods to pre-
vent crop damage by elk and to pressure resident elk to migrate are limiting and problematic. Construction of fences along large areas is cost-prohibitive while lethal management of elk is often viewed as unaccept-able by the public.
Aversive conditioning is a relatively new cost-effective and practical method that has potential application on elk in the SRMT.
A literature review on aver-sive conditioning techniques was conducted by Justin Muf-ford, 3rd year undergraduate student in the BSc. program and assistant researcher at Thompson Rivers University and by Dr. John Church, Cattle Research Chair and Professor at Thompson Rivers Universi-ty.
The results of this review will be presented by Justin Mufford and Dr. John Church on September 25, 7:30 p.m. at the at the Heritage Inn West Ballroom in Cranbrook.

Updates being made to the traf� c signals at Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North in Cranbrook will mean the signals will be not operating on Wednesday September 24, Thursday September 25 and Friday September 26, 2014.
Motorists using the intersection of Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North by Western Financial Place during this period are advised that this intersection will be designated a four-way stop 24 hours per day for the duration of the work. Temporary stop signs will be in place.
The updates to the intersection being made by Public Works include the installation of new traf� c � ow cameras and a new computer operating system.
The City of Cranbrook apologizes for any inconvenience the work may cause.
Peak Environment Ltd has certified that the building can be re-occupied without con-cerns regarding possi-ble asbestos exposure.
Napp Enterprises was selected to perform the removal of hazard-ous and regulated ma-terials.
The work was per-formed in accordance
with WorkSafe BC’s Oc-cupational Health and Safety Regulations re-garding asbestos and other hazardous mate-rials.
The project is re-ported to be coming in under budget, with the project expected to come in at $110,000. The initial budget was $130,000.

Residents of the Pinecrest area were asked by the city wheth-er they were interested
in funding a large part of fixing their local road; the initial feedback has not been supportive of the project.
In June, the city
asked whether the resi-dents would be interest-ed in a local area service improvement project on 27A and 29th Avenue South, from 3rd to 7th
Street South. Out of the 59 letters
that were mailed to the residents of Pinecrest, the city noted it received only 16 responses, all of
which were not in fa-vour of the proposed improvement project.
Those property own-ers who chose not to submit a response to the
letter were noted as not in favour of the project.
“Therefore, based on the preliminary letter of enquiry, there is not suf-ficient initial support to conduct further investi-gation and to obtain cost estimates, or for the city to initiate the formal petition process re-quired to obtain con-sent of the owners af-fected,” noted city staff.
The city laid out two
potential scenarios in the enquiry letter. One is for conventional road surfacing and other is seal coat surfacing.
The work be under-taken by a local area ser-vice bylaw and funded 80 per cent by the Pinecrest benefitting property owners and 20 per cent by the entire city through general municipal property tax-ation.

Ferrer and Vice-Consul Anthony Achilles L. Mandap from the Philippine Consulate General of Vancouver on September 17. The group discussed partnership options between Canada and the Philippines during a three-day regional Philippine Consular Services visit. Over the three days, almost 700 Filipinos from across B.C. and Alberta were on campus and received assistance with everything from passport updates and oath taking for dual-citizenship to research into further education options.
trish BArnesIf weather conditions are
right this week, crews from B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch will conduct two low-intensity, prescribed burns for the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Pro-gram.
One prescribed burn being conducted for ecosystem resto-ration purposes will occur on Bare Mountain and is located seven kilometres south of the Kikomun-Koocanusa bridge
on the east side of Koocanusa reservoir. The area is proposed as two separate burns for a total of 241 hectares.
The other prescribed burn being conducted for ecosystem restoration purposes will occur on Artesian Pasture and is lo-cated just south of McGinty Lake near Meadowbrook. The proposed burn area is 387 hectares.
Historically, the forest in the Rocky Mountain Trench was renewed through frequent,
low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrub-by understory and created a relatively open forest with large, healthy trees. The exclu-sion of fire from the landscape over recent decades has in-creased the fuels that contrib-ute to the risk of more intense and damaging fires, and re-duced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Moun-tain Trench. Combined with other factors, the resulting for-est ingrowth has caused an
overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and forest values.
Crews are waiting for a ‘burn window’—when tem-perature, humidity and wind conspire to create safe and ef-fective conditions.
Every effort is made to en-sure smoke levels are tolerable, burns are safe and the treat-ment is effective.
For more information on these prescribed burns, please visit trench-er.com.

For the townsmanInvermere, B.C. –
Thousands of British Columbians do not pos-sess the literacy skills needed to succeed, im-pacting everything from healthcare to employ-ment.
In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule, or understanding a lease and close to 50 per
cent of adults do not have the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.
even more concern-ing is the fact that al-most four in 10 youths aged 15 have insuffi-cient reading skills and 16 per cent of B.C. youths are not graduat-ing from high school. These statistics have se-rious implications on society, as literacy rates impact every aspect of
our lives: healthcare, education, crime rates, employment and eco-nomic status.
next month, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Liter-acy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the 4th Annual reach a reader cam-paign. The campaign will culminate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Co-lumbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect do-nations in support of community-based liter-acy programs.
The reach a reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaugural Lit-eracy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fund-
raising and awareness campaign designed to create a new, modern understanding of litera-cy and raise funds to en-sure that communi-ty-based literacy pro-grams across British Columbia can support the people who depend on them.
CBAL’s executive di-rector, Ali Wassing, says “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusi-asm for CBAL’s annual partnership with Black Press on the reach a reader campaign. This fall, in tandem with the launch of Decoda’s Lit-eracy is Life provincial campaign and the huge-ly successful raise-a-reader campaign in the Lower mainland we look forward to a ban-ner year for literacy.”

Everyone is a teacher, and we are all learners.
“But while dealing with the driver and passenger he noted the two males fit the de-scription of the sus-pects in the vehicle damage. The identity was confirmed and they were arrested for the damage. It turns out other vehicles were damaged so police will be recommending sev-eral counts of Willful Damage. This is in ad-dition to his driving prohibition and vehicle impoundment.”
At 2 a.m. an officer observed another vehi-cle speeding with the music blaring, newel reports. He stopped the vehicle and noted the driver was under the influence of alcohol. The breath demand was read and a breath sample was obtained, it was a “Fail”. Again the driver is prohibited from driving for 90 days and the vehicle was im-pounded for 30 days.
Finally, at 4:30 a.m.
an officer observed a vehicle head towards Townsite that did not comply with the motor vehicle Act.
“The driver sped up in what appeared to be an attempt to avoid po-lice, he made some quick turns and man-aged to make it home, but the officer was right behind him and took him into custody. Again the driver was im-paired, he blew a “Fail” and will face the same driving prohibition and vehicle impoundment as the others. Given the manner in which the driver drove to avoid police he was also is-sued a violation Ticket for Drive without rea-sonable Consider-ation.”
“In these cases offi-cers were able to safely remove four drivers from the road who were impaired before they caused injury to them-selves or others,” newel said.

Changes are coming to home inspector in-dustry as the provincial government announced the creation of a com-mon professional stan-dard for licensing last week.
Rich Coleman, the minister responsible for housing, has spent the last year strengthening home inspector accred-itation on the direction of Premier Christy Clark in June 2013.
The standard will streamline the process
for 440 provincial home inspectors, which are currently governed by four associations, each with their own licensing requirements.
“Consumers deserve a rigorous, reliable home inspection indus-try,” said Coleman, in a press release. “We want to ensure homebuyers have every possible confidence that their home inspector is quali-fied to help them with, what is often, the largest investment they will make.”
The province is
working with Consumer Protection BC, a non-profit consumer advocacy group, to set new education and training requirements, implement a provincial standard for testing and evaluation, and create a common code of ethics for home inspectors.
The new standards will be in place by the end of 2015.
Currently, there are four associations that regulate the home in-spection industry in B.C. and Canada: the Canadian Association of
Home and Property In-spectors (BC), Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of Brit-ish Columbia, Canadian National Association of Certified Home Inspec-tors and National Home Inspector Certification Council.
Sean Swinwood, a local home inspector and owner/operator of Amerispec of South-eastern B.C., said he felt the changes coming roughly a year ago, after his industry associa-tion—CANACHI—was getting pressure to
merge with other orga-nizations.
“I definitely caught wind that changes were coming and things were happening, and that was last summer,” Swin-wood said.
The ministry began a consultation between the public and industry stakeholders in 2013 that identified issues with consumers and home inspectors.
ments for inspectors, clearer info to buyers about what to expect from an inspection, changes to home in-spection contracts to protect consumers and eliminate realtor refer-rals. Home inspector is-sues included stronger educational require-ments, stronger compe-tency-based assess-ment, higher minimum standards for inspec-tions, stronger ongoing professional develop-ment and clearer info to buyers about what to expect.
“Basically, it was their initial process where they went through and they con-sulted consumers and people in the industry and asked them what their suggestions were on ways to strengthen it and make it more wa-ter-tight,” said Swin-wood.
B.C. became the first jurisdiction in Canada to require licensing of home inspections in 2009. Only B.C. and Al-berta regulate the in-dustry across the coun-try.

C anadian PressVANCOUVER — Re-
searchers from the Uni-versity of Victoria and Parks Canada hope they have found the earliest evidence of human hab-itation in Canada.
Unfortunately, it lies beneath hundreds of metres of water in the ocean around the Haida Gwaii islands, off the northern coast of British Columbia.
A n t h r o p o l o g i s t Quentin Mackie and his team returned earlier this month from a re-search trip to the archi-pelago, where they used an autonomous under-water vehicle to scan the
sea floor in search of ev-idence of ancient Haida civilization.
They can’t be cer-tain, but Mackie is hopeful the scans show a stone weir — a man-made channel used to catch fish.
Based on the loca-tion, it could date back 13,800 years, when the archipelago was one big island that extended al-most to the mainland.
Mackie says a geolo-gist will now study the images to ensure the line of boulder-sized rocks is not a natural formation, and his team will return next summer for further investigation.

“Egotism – usually just a case of mistaken nonentity.”
Barbara Stanwyck
“Intelligence has nothing to do with politics.”
Londo Molari
At long last he’s over the idea; he was driving us all nutty as he is with his ambi-tion to become mayor of the city.
It didn’t seem like much of an ambition to me; being a mayor sounds suspiciously like a thankless task, but I am not like Dick.
Dick — Richard Whit-tington — is a motor-mouth. He adores the sound of his own voice. He honestly be-lieves that he enthrals his audiences when, in fact, like TV game shows and local news-casts, he leaves them stunned into stupefied silences.
Dick doesn’t need to know what he is talking about and this suits his trapped audiences because they will never guess what he is talking about either, so, like an evangelist, he can be over-persuasive.
It all started when he was with his cous-in, Hector, who was travelling around the country endeavouring to raise some cash for yet another kayaking expedition to the arctic. Hector was showing his collection of slides from a previous trip when his voice gave out. Dick took over the narra-
tion and prattled on for the whole show although he himself had never stepped into a kayak nor ventured north of Edmon-ton.
Friend George made the mistake of asking Dick to do his bit at his wife Fliss’s mother’s funeral. Dick got up on his hind legs for almost an hour at the church where he almost convinced the mourners of something and the minister of some-thing else.
At his own sister’s wedding Dick, who is 42 now and has been for some time, apparently got through to the groom’s family and friends who, ap-parently, all hailed from Ontario or some places even further east. At a bit of a stag after the reception some of the groom’s rela-
tives had a go at Dick because of the re-marks that he had made. This surprised Dick because, as I stated before, he never knew what he was saying or what he had said. His oration had been a performance, but there was no meat to it. Dick knew that fact but would never admit that he did; he always assumed that his oration would cover his lack of knowledge or substance.
This is what made him think that he would be a great mayor.
He’d thought about being prime minis-ter then pulled in his horns a bit and con-sidered the joys of being B.C.’s premier, but the performance Christie Clark was put-
ting on looked too arduous for him, so he opted to try for mayor. He thought that Rob Ford of Toronto was a cool character when the said mayor proclaimed that there were too many libraries in the city and not enough Tim Hortons. Dick thought it would be a riot to hang around city hall and harangue folk – his words – and give his famous speeches, until someone point-ed out that there are no voters at city hall.
His wife Alice, usually practical and often cynical, had pointed to his shabby clothing and suggested that he’d need sev-eral suits to wear, especially if he got pelted with rotten eggs daily. As for a tie: the only one he owned at the time was the one around his expansive middle, holding up his shabby pants.
But the words, ‘Turn again Whitting-ton, Lord Mayor of London,’ were en-sconced in Dick’s head. He told me several times that all a guy has to do is to stand around town and convince the public that he knew what he was at and what he, per-sonally, intended to do about it, and keep a tight lid on the thick-headed councillors and made them shut up. Oh, and make lots of speeches.
He got quite excited about this, brushed off any suggestions about elections but accepted my one remaining tie as a loan. I shut him up before he began a speech of thanks, then suggested, “Turn again, Whit-tington. Become a teacher. Babble on all day, make no sense, nobody’ll understand you, then you get a great pension.”

Eyes on CranbrookNHL Central Scouting tags Zborosky & Murray in preliminary watch list

Kootenay Ice RW Zak Zborosky (above), pictured last season, was named to the NHL Central Scouting Service’s preliminiary watch list Tuesday
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
National Hockey League eyes are on the Kootenay Ice once again.
Tuesday morning, the NHL Central Scout-ing Service (CSS) re-leased its preliminary list of players to watch in anticipation of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Koote-nay Ice RW Zak Zbo-rosky and D Troy Mur-ray were two of 39 WHL players named.
“This is a quick first glimpse at the prospects we’re going to be looking at to start the season,” said NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr Tuesday afternoon.
“This is not a com-plete list by any means. It’s a list of the players we tracked from our views last year and we’ll be updating it again in November.”
Zborosky, a 17-year-old native of Regina, was ranked with a ‘B’ classi-fication.
“It was a friend who told me [I had been named],” Zborosky said prior to practice Tues-day afternoon. “I was a little bit surprised, but pretty excited about it.”
Zborosky’s listing as a ‘B’ player means NHL
scouts and general managers could be trav-eling to Cranbrook once again this season, just as they did last season for centre Sam Reinhart who was drafted second overall by the Buffalo Sabres at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
“We think [Zborosky] is poised to breakout of-fensively,” Marr said. “He’s paid his dues. He is a skilled forward. He’s got the skating and the hockey sense to gener-ate some offence for the team…We know he’s a decent play-maker with a good shot. We’re going to look to see how cre-ative his game is this year.
“We think he has the potential to continue to develop as a skill for-ward and maybe add a little power-forward ele-ment to his game.”
Zborosky rang up eight goals and 13 as-sists in 66 games for the Ice through the 2013-14 season. So far in 2014-15, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound forward has racked up one goal and one assist in two games.
“Now that it’s my second year in the league, I know what is expected from coach [Ryan McGill] and what
is [needed] to have suc-cess out there on the ice,” Zborosky said. “If I can put it together, I can have a breakout year.”
Zborosky wasn’t the only second-year mem-ber of the Kootenay Ice named to the CSS pre-liminary list. Defence-man Troy Murray, a 17-year-old native of White City, Sask., was listed with a ‘C’ classifi-cation.
“He has a very com-posed game,” Marr said of Murray. “He moves the puck smartly, good vision, solid defensively. He is just solid in all areas. There’s a lot of re-spect given to that. You don’t need a guy to go end-to-end and make the rush all the time. [Troy] is someone who seems to understand his position, understand his role and he quietly and efficiently goes about his business.”
Murray’s older broth-er, Ryan, was the sec-ond-overall selection of the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
“It’s a little intimidat-ing having him go so high,” Murray said of his older brother. “But I al-ways watch him and try to follow how he [plays
the game].“I’m just looking to
play my game again this year. I thought I had a pretty good season last year. I’m just trying to improve every day in practice, every day in the game.”
Murray is fresh off his rookie season with the Ice where he suited up for 64 games, registering 12 assists in the process. The sophomore defend-er has grabbed two as-sists in two games to start the 2014-15 season.
Players are not ranked on the prelimi-nary watch list, but are given one of four classifi-cation ratings. A player with an ‘A’ rating is pro-jected as a candidate to be drafted in the first round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. A ‘B’ rating indicates a player who is a candidate to be drafted in the second or third rounds of the draft and a ‘C’ rating is used for play-ers with the potential to be a fourth-, fifth-, or sixth-round selection at the draft. ‘LV’ ratings in-dicate players who have not been viewed suffi-ciently due to injury.
“We’re a service de-partment for the 30 [NHL] teams,” Marr said. “If we designate a
player an ‘A’ or a ‘B’ player, [NHL] general managers and scouting directors know that we’re saying it’s worth your time to travel someone in to watch those players.”
More than 350 play-ers from around the world were named to the NHL CSS prelimi-nary list, including 37 from the Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League, 39 from the WHL and 41 from the Ontario Hock-ey League.
Marr and the CSS will update the prelimi-nary watch list in No-vember, adding players who find their way onto the radar early in the season, and refreshing classifications as players emerge or fall off the grid.
Prior to the CHL Top Prospects game, the CSS will then release a mid-season rankings list to capture where pros-pects are in terms of de-velopment at that point in the season.
The OHL’s Niagara IceDogs will host the 2015 CHL Top Prospects game, scheduled for Jan. 22, 2015 in St. Cath-arines, Ont.
Red Deer Rebels await news on 2016 Memorial Cup bid
GreG MeacheMRed Deer Advocate
The Red Deer Rebels will know in two weeks what their calendar will entail a little over 19 months down the road.
In May of 2016, the Rebels will either be on the golf course, chasing
a Western Hockey League title and/or pre-paring to host the Me-morial Cup tournament.
The Western Hockey League board of gover-nors will decide Oct. 8 at the Calgary Delta Bow Valley Hotel if it’s the Rebels or the Vancouver Giants who will stage
major junior hockey’s championship event in roughly a year and a half.
Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter con-firmed Tuesday that the club is putting the final touches on its Memorial Cup bid, which will be submitted to the WHL head office next week. The business side of the bid includes a financial guarantee, while hotel availability, access to Westerner facilities — which will host second-ary events tied to the tournament — and a virtual promise that the team will be a force in the 2015-16 season are also part of the presen-tation.
“It’s a total package,” said Sutter. “It will be presented to the league, evaluated and then dis-cussed with the gover-
nors. If they have any questions, they will be answered on Oct. 8.”
The bid competition was officially reduced from three to two teams last week when the Vic-toria Royals pulled out of the race. The Royals front office has never ex-plained the decision.
“We knew a few weeks ago that they were leaning that way,” Sutter said of the Royals’ decision to pull their bid. “I did have some communication with their GM, Cam Hope. They’re a first-class or-ganization and they’re like ourselves, a mid-dle-market team.
“I certainly have a lot of respect for their orga-nization. Victoria is a great city and they will have the opportunity to host the Memorial Cup in the near future.”
As he discussed his club’s Memorial Cup bid, Sutter was en route to Calgary to pick up Rebels forward and cap-tain Conner Bleackley, who was reassigned by the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the day and will be in the Red Deer lineup Saturday when the Kootenay Ice visit the Centrium.
Defenceman Haydn Fleury, who like Bleack-ley was selected in the first round of June’s NHL entry draft, re-mains with the Carolina Hurricanes. Fleury will likely be reassigned to the Rebels within the next two to three weeks, if not sooner.
Four Rebels are among 42 WHL players identified by Central Scouting as likely-to-po-tential picks in next year’s NHL entry draft.
Forward Adam Musil is a ‘B’ prospect, a second/third round candidate, while forward Grayson Pawlenchuk, defence-man Mario Grman and goaltender Taz Burman are ‘C’ prospects, pro-jected as fourth/fifth/sixth round picks.
Trochu native Mike Winther, 20, was dealt by the Calgary Hitmen to the Kamloops Blazers Tuesday in return for a fourth-round bantam draft pick in 2015 and a sixth-round selection in 2017.
After scoring 32 goals with the Prince Albert Raiders during the 2011-12 season, Winther was selected by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the NHL entry draft.
His production fell off the following season and he was traded to the
Hitmen last winter. Win-ther played only 31 games in 2013-14 due to injury and was not of-fered a contract by the Stars, thus becoming a free agent.
The trade occurred one day after the Saska-toon Blades sent high-powered Russian winger Nikita Scherbak to the Everett Silvertips in return for 17-year-old netminder Nik Amun-drud as well as a first-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft and a sec-ond-rounder the follow-ing year.
Scherbak, who was selected 26th overall in this year’s NHL draft by the Montreal Cana-diens, is currently at training camp with Montreal and will not join the ‘Tips immedi-ately.

Protectors of the blue paintKootenay Ice goaltending tandem set with Hoflin and Williams
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
The Kootenay Ice are all set between the pipes.
The crease was crowded to start the reg-ular season as the team carried three goalten-ders — veteran Wyatt Hoflin plus rookies Kee-lan Williams and Jayden Sittler — on its sea-son-opening swing through Red Deer and Edmonton last weekend.
The trio was reduced to two late Monday, as the Ice released Sittler, leaving Hoflin and Wil-liams to take care of puck-stopping duties from here on out.
“Camp was very competitive and it wasn’t an easy decision getting rid of Jayden yes-terday,” said Kootenay Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson Tuesday af-ternoon. “The big thing for Wyatt last year was how well he performed in playoffs. That’s a
high-pressure situation, so his confidence com-ing into this year was very high…In the first two games, he’s been unreal for us, so hope-fully that continues.
“It takes time to de-velop goalies. It takes a lot longer to develop a goalie than it does a de-fenceman or a forward. It’s more of a learning process and both [Hoflin and Williams] have han-dled it very well so far.”
Hoflin’s spot was never in question. As Mackenzie Skapski’s backup in 2013-14, the native of Spruce Grove, Alta. was 10-8-0 with a 2.92 goals-against aver-age (GAA) and 0.904 save percentage (SP).
With Skapski off at New York Rangers camp, this is the year for Hoflin to take the reigns and backstop the Ice. The 19-year-old goal-tender is focused on providing his team with a steady presence be-tween the pipes.
“[Goaltending] is the last line of defence,” Hoflin said Tuesday af-ternoon prior to prac-tice. “It’s what stops the puck from going in the net. Being consistent and trying to give your team that opportunity where it might not be their best game but you still give them a chance to win.
“[Team] confidence goes up with your confi-dence.”
In his first two games as the undisputed start-er, Hoflin earned high praise from his coaches for doing exactly that. He turned aside 60 of the 66 shots he faced last weekend in Red Deer and Edmonton. Despite being outplayed by the Oil Kings, Hoflin kept his team in the game until a late third-period marker broke a 2-2 tie.
For Williams, his fate wasn’t set in stone until the release of Sittler. The 18-year-old native of
Calgary, Alta. began his 2013-14 season in train-ing camp with the Med-icine Hat Tigers, before being sent back to the Okotoks Oilers of the Al-berta Junior Hockey League.
“It was really devas-tating,” Williams said of his release from Tigers camp last year. “I worked really hard in the off-sea-son that year and I really wanted to make the team. I just had to take a step back and look at things and hope I was going to get a second chance. I did everything I could in Okotoks, play-ing well when I got my starts and making sure I’d be ready if I got a sec-ond opportunity at play-ing in the WHL.”
Perseverance paid off for the 6-foot-2 puck-stopper as he found his way to Cran-brook for Ice training camp in 2014. In two pre-season games, Wil-liams posted the best numbers of the trio with
a 2.67 GAA and 0.897 SP alongside a record of 0-1-0.
With Sittler’s release Monday, Williams is re-alizing his second op-portunity.
“It was a huge weight off my shoulders,” Wil-liams said in regards to hearing the news Mon-day. “I know that all the hard work paid off. It’s really exciting and now I’m ready to get the year going and battle with [Hoflin].
“He’s my teammate so I want to support him and I want the best for him. I want this team to
win. But then again, I also want to do well my-self. I’m going to battle him. If we have a healthy competition, it’s only going to make both of us better and it’s going to help our team win.”
Hoflin, Williams and the Ice will look for their second win of the 2014-15 WHL season when they face the Red Deer Rebels Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. Kootenay opened the regular sea-son with a 5-3 victory over the Rebels at the ENMAX Centrium Sept. 19.
Notes: The Kootenay
Ice are now carrying 26 players with the release of Sittler; RW Jaedon Descheneau (St. Louis Blues) and D Tanner Faith (Minnesota Wild) were re-assigned from their respective NHL training camps Tuesday afternoon and are ex-pected to join the team this week; C Luke Philp, listed day-to-day with a lower-body injury, is ex-pected to be available for Saturday’s game in Red Deer; D Rinat Va-liev is also nursing a lower-body injury and expected to miss three to five weeks.

Blades deal Russian star Scherbak to EverettHabs property swapped for G Amundrud and conditional draft picks
Daniel nugenT-Bowman
Saskatoon StarPhoenix
The trade involving last year’s breakout star forward Nikita Scherbak signifies that the Saska-toon Blades are still in the preliminary stages of their rebuild.
But that doesn’t mean they’ve thrown in the towel on their WHL playoff aspirations ei-ther.
“I don’t think my vi-sion of that has changed,” Blades head coach and general man-ager Bob Woods said after the transaction was announced Monday. “Nobody thought this
was going to happen overnight.
“I like a lot of the pieces we have in place. I believe we can make a few additions or adjust-ments here I think we’ll be a tough team. Our vision is still there.”
The Blades dealt the rights to Scherbak, their 2013-14 leading scorer, to the Everett Silvertips for goaltender Nik Amundrud and two conditional high WHL bantam draft picks.
A 2015 first-round pick and a 2016 sec-ond-rounder will be sent to Saskatoon only if Scherbak is returned to Everett by the Montreal Canadiens.
The acquisition of Amundrud, a Melfort native, also led the Blades to release over-age goaltender Troy Trombley.
“It’s kind of sad,” Scherbak told the Mon-treal Gazette after a Can-adiens scrimmage on Monday night. “I have friends in Saskatoon. I play first year and every-body support me — training staff, coaches, fans.
“I just want to say thank you to Saskatoon. It was an amazing year for me.”
The Scherbak deal was necessary because the Blades had three im-port players, one more than CHL rules allow.
Scherbak was draft-ed in the first-round of the NHL draft in June (26th overall) after lead-ing the Blades with 28 goals and 50 assists.
CHL teams are per-mitted to select an extra European in the import draft if one of their play-ers is chosen in the first round of the preceding NHL draft.
Woods took advan-tage, selecting Russian
forward Nikita Soshnin ninth overall and Swed-ish defenceman Amil Krupic 69th in July.
Because there is a one-year moratorium on trading players that were selected in the import draft, the Blades would have had to release Soshnin or Krupic with-out compensation if they wanted to keep Scher-bak upon his possible return from Montreal.
With the Blades com-ing off a 16-win season, Woods had been leaning towards not losing any assets free of charge.
“We looked at it in the summer and knew we might have to face his day,” Woods said. “We just felt that when we put it all together … it just made too much sense to go forward with it.”
For his part, Scher-bak was trying to look at the positives of the deal.
“Saskatoon is cold. Minus 65, not really for me,” he added, jokingly. “It’s Siberia.”
Woods added that Soshnin, as a 1997-born player, could be with the Blades for as many as four years. Krupic, 19,
adds experience to the defence.
“I’m so happy that I can stay here,” said Krupic, who has one as-sist in two games. “I don’t need to worry. But I need to work to keep my place.”
Because of the im-port quota, Woods had limit trading partners.
Scherbak turns 19 in December so this is al-most certainly his final WHL season. A team looking to acquire him must be in win-now mode. In addition, some of the WHL’s top con-tenders — Brandon, Calgary and Edmonton — already had three im-port players and were thus looking to shed a European, not add one.
“The longer you waited, the least it’s in our favour,” Woods said. “We knew that if we got a good offer early, even before getting him back, that we had to do it.
“I thought it worked out great. We got more than we were looking for.”
The Silvertips, de-spite their own import uncertainties, were will-
ing to ante up.Everett only has Rus-
sian centre Ivan Nikol-ishin on its active roster.
Swiss defenceman Mirco Mueller is at San Jose Sharks camp. He was a first-round pick (18th overall) by the Sharks in 2013 and could make their team.
The Silvertips are on the upswing and have guaranteed their sea-son-ticket holders a top-four finish in the West-ern Conference this sea-son, or they’ll deduct $100 from next year’s season-ticket renewals.
Everett general man-ager Garry Davidson said that didn’t play into his decision to pull the trigger. Going into the season, the organization was “concerned about where the scoring was going to come from.”
Davidson said Scher-bak will help offensive-ly, both at even strength and on the power play.
“I think things are in-fectious too,” he said. “You get a guy that gets a few goals in and it rubs off on other people.
“We also see him as an impact or fran-
chise-type player. He’s going to make people around him better.”
Scherbak had more 38 points than the next highest-scoring Saska-toon player last season.
The Blades scored just four times without him in a pair of losses to Prince Albert over the weekend.
Woods said he’ll con-tinue exploring the trade market for possi-ble additions up front.
That could come in the form of a 20-year-old. The Blades have room for one more with Trombley now off the roster.
“I don’t know if we have to worry about giv-ing up too much attain (someone),” Woods said. “We’re in a rebuild, but I believe in rebuilding in a winning environment.
“Looking at our ros-ter — (adding) a couple pieces, getting (defence-man Nelson) Nogier back (from the Winni-peg Jets), filling a couple other holes — we can be a really competitive team. I think that’s im-portant to do.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Others might decide on a new beginning, which could result in a discussion about what is going on around you. Your questions will prove to be instrumental and are likely to expose what is really happening. Tonight: Try not to explain to others what is going on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pace yourself, and know what is important and what needs to occur. You might need to make a decision about a health-re-lated matter, and this time it just might stick. Feel free to examine what someone really means. Be nice. Tonight: Kick back and relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to mingle and share with others, but a loved one could be demanding your attention. Don’t try to bypass this person, as it likely will only cause an argument. A project seems to be infused with new energy. Tonight: Pain the town red.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be concerned about a loved one and what he or she has to offer in a particular situa-tion. You will notice how others’ perceptions are very different from those of the person in question. You could see a prob-lem evolving far too quickly for your taste. Tonight: Be close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could want a change of pace. It is up to you to create it, though, as others are likely to be demanding. Consider how much you are valued before deciding not to answer your phone. Make a point to create more time for your concerns. Tonight: Take a midweek trip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be sensitive to others, and know that you have extra lee-way to respond. You might want to avoid a situation that sur-rounds a business arrangement involving property. The timing might be off to resolve the issue immediately. Tonight: Time to treat a pal to some munchies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You seem to have the energy to handle whatever comes down the path, except perhaps an irate individual. Be careful when dealing with this person, as you could say something you will regret later. On the other hand, do not sit on your anger. Tonight: Only where you can relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to open up a conversation. You know that you don’t always have all the right answers. A brainstorming session could point to quite a few different paths. Don’t try to be logical with someone who is a bit zany; just be polite. To-night: Get some shopping done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be coming off as being a lot more assertive than you realize. Remain confident that you will fight for what you want. Try to allow others to come over to your way of think-ing by giving them enough time and space. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to read between the lines when dealing with a parent or
someone you care about. Un-derstand that you might need to bypass this person’s interfer-ence in your life yet still make a point to honor this person and his or her goals. Tonight: In the limelight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be getting mixed signals from a loved one at a distance. You also could be misreading a situation and projecting some personal issues into the mix. Try to have a con-versation so you can ask more questions. Tonight: Let your hair down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could have a lot going on in your life regarding a partner or a financial matter. You might be pondering what is important and what would be best in the long run. There could be many twists and turns in the road ahead. Tonight: An intense talk with a favorite person. BORN TODAY Puppeteer Jim Henson (1936), actress Jackie Sandler (1974), actor Kevin Sorbo (1958)
Dear Annie: I notice that often the advice you offer is to “get counseling.” But what happens in counseling? Can you explain how it helps? -- L. Dear L.: The point of counseling or therapy is to help you determine what it is you want to accomplish and how to get there. This could be a career goal, a marital dispute, a problem with family members or anything that is causing difficulty for you and that you cannot resolve on your own. A good coun-selor/therapist will help you set appropriate goals and work with you to achieve them. Counselors (e.g., psychologists, licensed social workers) are generally well trained and licensed. Therapists (e.g., psychiatrists and psychoanalysts) usually have additional training and can prescribe medication. When choosing someone to see, we rec-ommend getting a referral through your physician, a friend or relative, or an ac-credited licensing association such as the American Psychiatric Assn. (psych.org), the American Psychological Assn. (apa.org) or the National Association of Social Workers (socialworkers.org). It may help to find one who specializes in your particular problem. Not all counselors will be a good match, and it may require a session or two before you decide whether you are comfortable with this person or need to find someone else. When you first see the counselor/therapist, you may be asked what you wish to accom-plish or what you want to work on. Some problems can be resolved in a few sessions, but more complicated ones can take longer. It is important that you be totally honest with the counselor, as anything else is a waste of your time and money. And if the counselor makes suggestions, do the work. Nothing will change if you don’t make the effort. Dear Annie: Our daughter is getting mar-ried soon. We have paid for all the usual ser-vices at a wedding, but we have a question about the photographer and the disc jockey. Both of these people own their businesses. These owners will be the ones providing the services at the wedding, with no other em-ployees present. Some people say we should tip them for their time and services. We feel that since they own their businesses, their profit includes their tip. Right or wrong? -- To Tip or Not To Tip Dear Tip: You do not need to tip the owners of the photography studio or the disc jockey who is self-employed. They don’t expect to be tipped. However, should they go above and beyond what you hired them for, you may wish to add a gratuity as a way of saying “thanks.” Dear Annie: The letter from “Very Blessed, But Hurt” expressed bewilderment that she was not named in her mother-in-law’s will, despite she and her mother-in-law having a close and wonderful relationship. I’m a retired lawyer who wrote many wills over the years. I hope this dear lady listens to your advice that she should not feel slighted. Her mother-in-law’s will sounds pretty stan-dard to me. The testatrix leaves her estate to her son and, should her son not survive her, then to the son’s children. Most wills that I wrote went along those same lines. Perhaps “Blessed” herself comes from a family in which testators name everyone they love, but my own experience is that such a tradition would be far from the norm. Many people, when planning the disposal of their estates, work hard not to let emotions impinge on what they view as a simple busi-ness transaction, and they bequeath scru-pulously equal amounts to both the faithful, favorite child and the black sheep who dis-owned the family decades ago. -- Voice of Experience Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Marguerite Elvera Fergus
June 8, 1928 - September 18, 2014
Marg Fergus was born at the Sullivan Top Mine location in Kimberley, BC and lived her whole life in Kimberley within a one mile radius of the mine. She was very active in her younger years. She loved
to travel, walk, bowl, golf and cross country ski. After retirement she was often seen in Townsite walking with her dog Tyke, and she always had biscuits in her pockets for her “friends” along the way.
Mom enjoyed bingo, puzzles and crosswords and was an accomplished sewer, knitter and quilter.

Part II of IIDear Me Myself:We will now finish answering the rest of
your questions with a brief summary of what my guides have relayed to inform you on your issue.
Q. 11 So they are staying in the relation-ship basically because of monetary rea-sons? A. We have always taught you that there are multilevel answers to a question as well as levels of emotions attached to a question. Ah, yes, money — isn’t that the reason a good majority of people use when they don’t want to improve or learn the lessons on this plane. Add a pinch of fear to those emotions and you have a good foun-dation for someone to be frozen in fear. Having said all that; basically one excuse is just as good as another I suppose and money does seem to be the ruling issue or the ruling excuse in such a case of these types of relationships. Hence, both parties again are frozen in their individual fears and cease to learn and grow as separate individ-uals. End of questions and this session.
Personal NoteWhat I have gathered from this session
and what my guides are still relaying to me as I am typing this letter to you is; you are
with this man to learn and when you have learned you will leave or replenish a good solid relationship with him. If you do not achieve this goal then you will stay with him till the next lifetime comes about and try to learn the lessons again with him. For exam-ple: One lesson that you need to learn while you are in this relationship is to obtain some control over yourself and your life and stop
trying to control him. You also do not need to “suck” anything up when it comes to this relationship with this man. As above and so it is below we have all free will my guide has just stated and you can leave or stay that choice is for you to
make and no one else. You also tell us that you are overcome with feelings of guilt if you leave. Then in the next breath you say you know guilt is a useless feeling but you can’t help yourself. Your next lesson is you are acting and talking like a victim when you state this. For example: When I feel guilty about an issue that comes up in my life then I work on it and find a solution and this issue of guilt is rectified. I don’t put my feelings of guilt on the “backburner” and act like a victim and carry this burden on my shoulders and hope it goes away or live with it or shove it in the closet. Why would I want to do something like that and be unhappy?
You are a victim of your own unhappiness because you do not want to work on your-self and try to make the few years you have left on this plane happy ones. You want to blame it on karmic debt instead of seeking and growing as an individual on how to solve your karmic debt. You then become miserable and depressed with yourself be-cause your soul cries out for you to be your authentic self.
Just because you are learning what you need to learn does not mean you have to or must leave this man you are living with. It means you will be in harmony with yourself and those around you and you will not be living in unhappiness and mistrust within yourself. This is about you and your learn-ing lessons. Seek the help you need and learn and grow and start getting some emo-tional control over you life and this is what you need to learn. This is where you need to start on this journey of self-discovery if you so choose. Perhaps all that happens in ones life is for the greater good so that they can learn their lessons and become stronger, emotionally intelligent and happier for themselves and those around them. This type of energy and thinking extends to oth-ers and contributes as well for the greater good of the planet on which we live.

ASSOCIATED PRESSOXFORD, Ohio —
An Ohio college presi-dent says the school supports safety for skunks, and for other furry creatures, too.
Miami University President David Hodge has thanked People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for its offer to send safety posters after a skunk recently got its head stuck in a beer can near a frater-nity house. The posters urge people to crush cans for animal safety.
Hodge wrote to PETA to say that the Ad-vocates for Animals student group will work on the poster safety campaign. He says the school appreciates the effort to remind the community to crush and recycle cans, not only to preserve re-sources but to protect animals from harm.
“We share your de-sire to have no more stuck skunks!” Hodge wrote.
The posters PETA offered Monday to send to Miami show a rac-coon with head stuck in a tin can and says crush cans for animal safety, urging: “Don’t let this happen again.”
“Aluminum cans, plastic cups, and open
jars can become death traps for hungry or in-quisitive animals if they aren’t disposed of properly,” PETA Senior Director Colleen
O’Brien said in the let-ter to Hodge.
An Oxford animal control officer was able to free the skunk with-out being sprayed.
PETA says it is shipping vegan cookies to Ox-ford police in apprecia-tion for their compas-sionate efforts to help the skunk.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Prosecutors in western Pennsylvania have dropped charges against a homeless man found squatting inside the presiden-tial suite of a Pittsburgh hotel last fall.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (http://bit.ly/1v3CBwC ) reports that Allegheny County prosecutors on Monday withdrew criminal trespass and theft of services charges against 48-year-old Jeffrey Watson.
Watson was arrested in November
after guests checking into the $2,500-a-night suite at the Omni Wil-liam Penn Hotel saw him sleeping on a couch and notified hotel staff.
Police said Watson told them that he had been in the city for more than a month and slept wherever he could find “somewhere comfortable.”
Mike Manko, spokesman for the Allegheny County district attorney’s office, said he did not know why the charges had been withdrawn.
Hotel officials did not return a call seeking comment.
C ANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA — The
Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa will remain closed for at least the rest of the year due to an infestation of mould.
The problem was de-tected earlier this month during an inspection of the facility’s water-logged south wall.
The museum was immediately closed to visitors and now the in-stitution says it won’t re-open this year.
No date has been set for a re-opening, as con-tractors are still assess-ing what needs to be done to alleviate the problem.
Staff have been moved to other facili-ties, including the Cana-da Aviation and Space Museum and the Cana-da Agriculture and Food Museum.
The mould invasion at the national science
museum is just the lat-est blow to a crumbling facility that is jettisoning artifacts, postponing critical repairs and squeezing visitors for new parking fees in a bid to stay afloat.
People who had made reservations to visit or who planned ac-tivities at the museum this fall are being ad-vised about alternative venues, the museum said.
Meanwhile, the mu-seum corporation is working to assess the damage and plan for fix-ing it.
“We want to assure all those who support the museum we are working with determi-nation towards a com-plete, permanent solu-tion to this unfortunate issue,” said CEO Alex Benay.
The troubled muse-um sits in a shabby in-dustrial park. It is
housed in an old bakery warehouse which the federal government bought from a dis-tressed company in 1967.
A briefing book pre-pared for Benay when he took the top job in July warned that place is falling apart after almost 50 years of neglect.
“The corporation has come to a critical point in the replace-or-repair juncture,” says the brief-ing book.
The leaky roof needs to be replaced at a cost of $2.5 million, and the place needs $845,000 for new roof-top heating and ventilation systems.
But the cash-strapped institution has been able to set aside only $550,000 for all the maintenance work, much of which will like-ly be diverted to the mould problem.
ASSOCIATED PRESSPORTLAND, Ore. — After a pizza
delivery driver was injured in a crash in Portland, Oregon, two police offi-cers completed the delivery for him.
Steve Huckins tells KOIN (http://bit.ly/1rivLl5) that he and his wife were concerned Sept. 1 when the offi-cers showed up at their home, but
they started laughing when they re-ceived the pizza.
They’re thanking Officers Michael Filbert and Royce Curtiss for going out of their way.
The Pizza Hut driver hurt his neck and back in the collision at an inter-section.

Would-be museum goers won’t be able to view exhibits like this preserved Royal Hudson steam loco-motive, as the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology is currently closed until at least January to take care of a mould infestation.

ASSOCIATED PRESSCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The In-
ternational Space Station has accept-ed another SpaceX shipment. This one contains the first 3-D printer ever launched into orbit.
Two days after blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the SpaceX cargo ship, Dragon, arrived at the space station Tuesday morning. Ger-man astronaut Alexander Gerst used the robot arm to grab the capsule.
The Dragon is delivering more
than 5,000 pounds of supplies. The 3-D printer - an experimental model - is the headliner payload. Also on board: mice and flies for biological research, fresh spacesuit batteries so NASA can resume routine spacewalks, and a $30 million instrument to mea-sure ocean wind.
NASA is paying SpaceX to stock the space station. Last week, the Califor-nia-based company won the right to transport astronauts, too. That’s still a few years off.
