RDEK prepares for Jumbo workload

A seat for Jumbo Mayor but no vote yet Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

What a night! On Saturday, November 17 over 40 international students currently attending school in Kimberley, Invermere, and Golden watched the Kootenay Ice defeat the Brandon Wheat Kings 4-0. After the game was over, the students participated in puck shoot. Pictured above are the winners, Michael Waelther and Isabell Voigt. The Rocky Mountain International Student Program would like to thank Geoff Davidson, Sherri Nelson, Elli Harpelle, and Tim Nelson of the Kootenay Ice for helping to make this night such a memorable experience.

The Regional District of East Kootenay has received clarification from the provincial government on the board’s responsibility now that the Jumbo Glacier Resort is set to become a municipality.

Rob Gay, board chair, said he spoke with a representative from the province on Wednesday who confirmed that newly appointed Mayor Greg Deck will in fact have a seat on the RDEK despite a 2009 request from the RDEK that an appointed member not receive a seat.

But Deck will not receive a vote on the board until 2017

or until the municipality’s infrastructure and improvements are assessed at $30,000,000.

The RDEK had previously sent a letter dated September 9, 2009, to the ministry asking that the Jumbo Glacier Resort be declared a mountain resort municipality, but that an appointed member not be granted a seat at the RDEK table. The letter asked that a seat be granted once there was a steady population capable of carrying out a democratic election of Mayor and council.

Gay said the province has responded with the new Mountain Resort Municipality by giving Deck a seat but not a vote immediately.

road safety

Change driving habits as winter weather arrives Slow down on winter roads

According to stats from ICBC, the number of crashes caused by people driving too fast for road conditions almost triples from October to December.

For those who do the commute between Cranbrook and Kimberley, or out to the pulp mill in Skookumchuk, here’s something to

think about — speeding is the leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. On average, 47 people are killed each year in the Southern Interior in speed-related crashes.

Each October there are an average of 33 crashes resulting in injuries or death in the Southern Interior region due to people driving too fast for the conditions. That number more than triples in December to 109 as the driving conditions worsen.

“Police remind motorists to make sure they drive to the conditions,” said Cpl. Chris

Newel of the Kimberley RCMP Detachment.

“There are a large number of commuters that travel between Kimberley and Cranbrook everyday. This is most evident in the early morning and late afternoon. The conditions during these times can be different than the rest of the day. In the morning, overnight snowfalls and lower temperatures can leave the road very slippery. In the afternoon as the sun sets, the temperature gets lower causing a film of ice to form on the road. Drive accordingly. Leave yourself time

to get to your destination, don’t rush. Better you get home 10 minutes later than not at all.”

To help drivers avoid rushing and encourage them to slow down this winter, ICBC, the province and police are running a speed awareness education and enforcement campaign until the end of November.

In the last five years, 578 people have been killed in car crashes in the Southern Interior, with an average of 116 people killed every year.

Jury suggests SAR changes in Sweatman inquest Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

A Nelson coroner’s jury has made nine recommendations to prevent future deaths like that of a Nelson Search and Rescue volunteer.

The suggestions are all directed at Emergency Management BC and the BC Search and Rescue Association and include standardized training and equipment for swift water teams, and a review of funding models to better support operations.

The jury also calls for an audit of search and rescue groups in B.C. to ensure each is properly equipped, and the development of a standardized risk assessment tool for swift water operations.

Sheilah Sweatman drowned in the Goat River near Creston on June 29, 2011 while attempting to recover a submerged vehicle.

Her leg got caught on a steel cable and she was pulled into the water and drowned.

The jury heard five days of testimony from about 20 witnesses last week before beginning their deliberations Saturday. They reached their verdict late Saturday after-

improvement in standards.”

Wynn was the last witness to testify Friday. He said no facts emerged at the inquest that weren’t previously learned in the 16 months since Sheilah’s death.

“It made me mad it took so long to get to those issues that ultimately end up fairly simple. I told them Sheilah was courageous and passionate and that the managers and the system needs to protect the passionate volunteers.”

He added the family has no interest in pursuing civil action in the case.

BC Search and Rescue Association president Don Bindon, who attended the inquest, said his members are “extremely grateful” for the jury’s work.

“These nine recommendations give us an excellent road map ... We’re going to do our very best to implement each and every one of them.”

Bindon says they have not been waiting for the inquest to make changes — plans are already afoot to standardize swift water training. Although the jury

Sweatman’s father Wynn told reporters the jury was thorough and his family is happy to have the recommendations.

“I feel like we can now begin to move forward,” he said. “But it’s been a really hard week. From an emotional point of view, we’ve taken a step back a year in terms of coping with this loss.”

Although the recommendations don’t specifically

mention the use of steel cable in vehicle recoveries, Wynn said they do suggest that swift water teams use only their own equipment whenever possible. The jury also said appropriate tools for self-rescue and companion rescue “must be immediately accessible.”

“In one way or another, all of those things contributed to losing Sheilah,” Wynn said. “There’s nothing happy about this for us, but I think Sheilah’s legacy will be a big

did not make any specific recommendations around vehicle recoveries, Bindon said they are looking at ways to reduce the hazards of such operations.

The recommendations didn’t mention the use of video cameras in search exercises either — the tragic operation was caught on tape as part of filming for the reality TV show Callout: Search and Rescue, and the jury viewed the footage — but Bindon said he doesn’t think it was a factor.

“Absolutely not ... If I be-

lieved the video played a role, we would be making some very serious adjustments,” he said.

Presiding coroner Matt Brown thanked the jury for a “difficult” six days and Sweatman’s family for their “will and determination and reminder of why we are here.”

The non-binding recommendations are provided to the chief coroner and then distributed to the groups named. “In the spirit of the inquest, and Sheilah’s passing, we hope they are followed through,” Brown said.

Ktunaxa constable receives Diamond Jubilee Medal Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Const. Eldene Stanley wanted to be a police officer before women were even allowed in the RCMP. When she received her Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on Monday, November 19, it was literally the crowning achievement on a career that has brought her back to her hometown of Cranbrook and to the Ktunaxa Nation that raised her.

Stanley found her niche in Aboriginal Policing where she does not only general policing duties, but special programs and support for youth in the Aqam, Yaqan Nukiy, Akisqnuk and Grasmere bands. It’s the perfect fit for the 22year veteran of the RCMP. She moved to Cranbrook in 1975 and graduated from Mount Baker Secondary School in 1987. She’s a member of the Ktunaxa First Nation and the pride she has in her heritage is readily apparent.

Stanley knew what she wanted to do long before it was even a career option.

“I knew from an early age that I was going to be a Police Officer,” she said. “In fact, I decided during a time when women weren’t allowed into the RCMP.” The RCMP began allowing female members in 1974. Stanley started off her career as an Auxiliary Police Officer from 1987 to 1990 before heading to depot training in Saskatchewan. Her memories of that time are of the intense weather she had never experienced growing up in Cranbrook.

“I moved to Regina Saskatchewan and began my training in Depot on January 1st so naturally it was freezing cold. Until then, I had never experienced such a cold winter,” Stanley said.

At Depot, Stanley quickly learned about the RCMP culture and says she adapted well. She en-

tered training physically fit and well prepared and breezed through. throughout her time in Depot, her family was a constant source of support.

“While in training I received a letter from my great-great grandmother,” Stanley remembers. “She commented how she was proud of me for pursuing my goals. She told me to never quit and encouraged me to succeed in all my dreams.

That was her wish for me.”

Before leaving Depot, Stanley received a letter from another Grandmother that she’s never forgotten.

“She reminded me, ‘Never forget who you are, never forget where you come from and don’t forget, you are never alone.’”

After Depot, Stanley was posted to Montreal, Dawson Creek and Merritt before finally landing back home in Cranbrook. She did general duty and highway patrol before landing the spot with Aboriginal Policing.

For Stanley, her days include many things beyond general duty.

She lends a hand to Ktunaxa Kinbasket Child and Family Services and visits schools in School District 5 when she can, and holds a number of positions with Ktunaxa youth organizations from running to Aboriginal dancing.

“I love working in Aboriginal Policing. I love that there is so much opportunity and potential for our First Nations Communities,” Stanley said. “I most like working with our fantastic amazing youth.”

Stanley is active in the Aboriginal Policing Summer Student Program, Ktunaxa Nation Dance Troupe, the Ktunaxa Running Club, and Ktunaxa Boot Camp.

When Stanley talks of her time with the Ktunaxa youth programs, she can barely contain her pride.

Two more drug arrests in Cranbrook Cpl. Chris Ne wel For the Bulletin

Two subjects were arrested in two different incidents in Cranbrook last week and are now facing drug charges.

On Nov 20, police entered into a drug investigation that led to the arrest of a 50 year old Moyie resident.

Upon arrest police seized two grams of cocaine. The woman

is facing charges of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking.

On Nov 21, a search warrant was obtained after police gathered sufficient evidence that a male was involved in the drug trade. Police obtained the warrant to enter a motel room on the strip where they arrested a 50 year old male. Police seized a small quantity of

drugs along with drug paraphernalia.

Charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance are being recommended.

Police continue to work towards making our community safer.

If you have any information on these or any other types of crime, please contact the Cranbrook or Kimberley RCMP detachment or Crimestoppers.

Constable receives medal From Page 3 “Earlier this year on a Thursday night we had 54 participants show up for Dance Class just eager, willing to learn,” she said of the Ktunaxa Nation Dance Troupe. “Our performers are naturals, and make my job as director/producer so very easy.”

The Aboriginal Policing Summer Student Program introduces students to policing if they are interested in pursuing a career. So far three students have graduated.

“This program provides opportunity for the cadets to experience a summer of policing to help them determine if law enforcement will really be their career of choice,” Stanley said.

All of Stanley’s involvement with youth wouldn’t have happened without the support of her family and friends, many of whom were at the St. Eugene Mission Golf Resort and Casino on Monday to see Chief Superintendent Mike Sekela pin her Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on. Stanley said it was a wonderful moment when it was pinned on.

“I felt a great sense of accomplishment for our Ktunaxa people. I thought of Elders, and others who supported me

along the way. They never lived to see the day: that part of me felt a bit empty and a bit sad,” Stanley said.

The family and friends that were there leapt up to take pictures as she saluted and accepted the medal.

“I’m glad there were able to be there. I have always been supported by my family, friends, community and the Ktunaxa Nation,” Stanley said.

“I have done well in life, because I know that I am part of something strong. I stick close to my family, elders, culture, language, customs and traditions. We Ktunaxa are fortunate, all these components have remained intact.”

Stanley still can’t figure out who nominated her for the medal in the first place “I never did find out who nominated me for this medal – nobody will confess,” she said.

“I must emphasize, the honour and credit lies with the great team that I am a part of. I was nervous, but felt a great sense of pride when Chief Supt. Sekela pinned my medal.”

The relationship between the Ktunaxa people and the RCMP has not always been so positive, and Stanley acknowledges the time when members

““I have done well in life, because I know that I am part of something strong. I stick close to my family, elders, culture, language, customs and traditions.”

Cst. Stanley would attend to remove children from their homes to be placed in Residential Schools like the St. Eugene Mission.

“It is a sad part of our history. Children were ordered to attend Residential Schools,” Stanley said. “If they didn’t and if their parents didn’t comply, the RCMP would attend and enforce those sections of the Indian Act which allowed the child to be removed from the home and brought to Residential School.”

But the nation has risen above the dark memory of Residential Schools, and Stanley is one of many that provide leadership and mentoring to Ktunaxa youth.

“Attitudes and relationships have improved and continue to improve,” she said. “Being a First Nations woman who wears the uniform has peaked curiosity in our Aboriginal youth. Listening and interacting positively with them has helped improve the relationship.”

She hopes that some Aboriginal youth will follow in her footsteps, and hopes the positive message she carries with her will resonate.

“Hopefully some of them would be interested and pursue a career in the RCMP,” she said. “I’m willing to answer questions they may have. I encourage all our youth to stay in school because education is key. I encourage our youth to dream, to believe and to go after their dreams.”

Stanley remembers looking up to Muhammed Ali as a child, who proved to her that the colour of her skin did not limit her.

“He taught me that it was okay to believe that a person of colour could be anything they wanted to be. When I grew up I was gonna be just like Ali. I grew up thinking and believing ‘I’ma show you how great I am.’”

said.

While the board is relieved they will not technically be adding a 16th vote to the RDEK for now, Gay said a lot can happen between the time when Deck assumes the seat in March, 2013, to when he can vote in 2017.

“I think the hardest part from my perspective is not being able to vote for a long time,” he said.

Gay expects the first year of Jumbo’s incorporation to be a planning year and little could happen physically to the 6,131-hectare municipality. But if progress is fast, the lack of a vote could become an issue before 2017.

“They may be ready to go a lot sooner than that,” he said.

Gay said the board had two key points in their Wednesday discussions with the province. They are that the appointed government has no accountability to tax payers and taxation. Without

a tax base, however, Gay said it’s fair that Deck does not have a vote because they will not be receiving the services provided by the regional district.

“They aren’t bringing any money to it,” he said. “It’s hard to have a say in that service when you don’t pay.”

Gay predicts the RDEK will be hearing from new interim corporate officer Phil Taylor very soon as the incorporation of the new Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality is set for February 19, 2013, and a lot of work has to be done before then.

“Phil’s going to want to know what services we offer,” Gay said. “He’ll be working with our staff. They have a lot to do between now and February.”

The RDEK provides the communities within its boundaries with a number of services from weed control to solid waste removal.

Gay said one of the

first things that will need to be tackled is solid waste. The new municipality’s government will have to decide if they would like to construct a transfer station and pay the RDEK for use of the regional landfill.

The RDEK can also do building inspection for municipalities that opt not to hire their own. Gay said there are building inspectors out of Invermere that could be used for a fee per service that may be helpful to Jumbo. The regional district can also provide a house numbering system if the municipality does not have their own method.

Gay said Deck comes with a wealth of knowledge of the services provided by the RDEK having been a member of the board for many years during his time as Mayor of Radium.

“He has a very good knowledge of that and what services we can provide,” Gay said.

The RDEK is expected to formally receive the Letters Patent for the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality at its next meeting on December 7, but Gay said they most likely won’t start to see Jumbo-related business at public meetings until at least March.

There’s still a lot of work to do behind the scenes and during public board meetings, and Gay said the board will step up to the challenge despite members being on opposite sides of the Jumbo issue.

“It may be a difficult transition,” he said. “I think we’re all community leaders around that table.”

Gay said he has not been contacted by any of the three appointed council members but welcomes them to attend the public meetings of the RDEK. “Our meetings are open so they would be welcomed.”

Get ready for a sweet new ride to school Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Students in the East Kootenay are getting a sweet new ride to school thanks to the B.C. government’s annual fleet renewal program.

The Southeast Kootenay School District 5 will receive three shiny new buses for a total of $405,392. The Rocky Mountain School District 6 will be the recipient of five new buses for a total of $526,582.

The province introduced a fleet program last year which has provided a savings of 10 to 15 per cent across the province. Before the changes, each individual school district would negotiate pricing for new school buses individually. Instead the province now buys all the buses across the province as a fleet. First Nations and Independent schools are able to take advantage of the savings as well when new buses are needed.

The B.C. government estimated that school buses in the province travel over 33 million kilometres a year – about 43 trips to the moon and back.

A total of 125 new buses will arrive in the

province’s 37 school districts for a total of 125 new buses. The province spends $90 million on school transportation each year and about 1,200 buses are owned altogether. Contractors supply an additional 600 to the districts. Buses must be replaced after they reach a certain number of kilometres or years in operation.

Not all buses delivered are the same.

When needed districts can access wheelchair accessible buses to serve the routes that need them. Newer buses have efficient diesel engines that reduce exhaust particulate emissions by 90 per cent compared to buses manufactured in 1994.

Those same diesel engines last longer and produce 30 to 60 per cent better mileage than gasoline-powered engines.

“Renewing our fleet of buses helps to keep students safe and lower our carbon emissions,” said Don McRae, Minister of Education. “By pooling our purchasing power across school districts, we can negotiate better prices and direct those savings into classrooms.”

Giant Tiger closing SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s Giant Tiger is closing just before Christmas.

The store, located in the Baker Street Mall, was the chain’s only location in B.C. “The closure was based on an extensive review of the store’s sales performance,” said Connie Tamoto, manager of corporate communications for the NorthWest Company, which owns the chain.

Approximately 25 staff were employed at Giant Tiger in Cranbrook, which will close its doors on December 22.

It is the second department store to close in Cranbrook this year. Zellers closed in October to make way for Target, which will open in the spring in the Tamarack Centre.

KIMBERLEY NEWS Newspaper, November 26, 1953 Hospital Ways and Means Committee Speed Action

Dancer of the Month - November 2012 - Hali Gustafson

Hali is 11 years old and attends McKim Middle School. Hali is presently in her 8th year of lessons and is presently taking classes in Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Lyrical. Hali also volunteers her time once a week as a class assistant with the younger children. Her other interests include swimming, painting and writing poetry. For her efforts she will receive gift certificates from Grubstake Pizza and Sole to Soul Esthetics Studio. Hali will also have the chance to be named “Dancer of the Year” at Kimberley Dance Academy’s year end production in May. With this title, the winner will receive a scholarship from Artistic Director Leslie Lindberg to help further her dance career.

Tuesday evening the Hospital Board met with City Council in the City Hall for the purpose of forming a Ways and Means Committee to facilitate the raising of the necessary funds for Kimberley’s badly needed new hospital.

The committee will consist of members of the Hospital Board, City Council, representatives from Chapman Camp and Marysville and will be augmented with several public spirited leading citizens of the community.

Emphasis was laid on the need for speedy action by the committee and in this respect efforts are being made to hold a joint meeting of the committee with representatives from Chapman Camp and Marysville this coming Friday evening. Should it be decided to attempt the setting up of a Hospital District, mayor Kary of Nelson has promised to attend a meeting called for the purpose and will pass on all the information that the City of Nelson have obtained on the subject.

Nelson are proceeding with plans to form such a district, and are away

ahead of Kimberley in this respect.

Pioneer Lodge Needs Enlarging

With a waiting list of senior citizens the need for new units to be built at Pioneer Lodge increases daily. The Building Fund started 12 months ago has been steadily growing during the last few months and now stands at $812.40.

During the course of the year the grounds of Pioneer Lodge have received attention, soil has been brought in, grass seeded, shrubs and plants have been donated. The last meeting for this year of the Lodge Committee is scheduled for Monday, December 7, in the City hall. It is to be hoped that representatives from all local organizations interested in the welfare of our senior citizens will attend, so that the year’s business can be satisfactorily completed.

Layoff Rumours, Company Statement

Rumours to the effect that numerous layoffs have taken place in the last two weeks are exag-

gerated, so stated a high Company official, when interviewed by a News reporter today.

Certain men have been laid off, two groups being affected, but in both cases, this is just a normal routine matter.

At the Mill 12 men were affected, in every case due to workers returning from holidays, the relief help being no longer required, holidays are now finished.

At the Fertilizer Plant 10 men were released, for purely seasonal reasons. Shipments of phosphate rock from Montana ceased in mid November, due to the rock freezing in the cars. This necessitated the closing down for the winter of the rock crushing plant, with its resultant layoff of employees working in this section. No further reductions are being considered and rumours around town of hundreds of unemployed are entirely without foundation on facts.

While not wishing to close our eyes to unpleasant facts, we feel that it is the duty of every decent citizen to kill these rumours at birth.

Marty started the party

It

was a Thursday, a slow news day in Canada perhaps, when a horse captured the attention of the country and pitted east against

west.

Yes, Marty the horse was an unlikely hero last week, when he, his rider and entourage clipclopped up to the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto and were unceremoniously told the Fairmont was not horse friendly.

The horse’s denied access was immediately compared to the National Energy Plan. Suddenly, the age-old west versus east battle was playing out in 140-character Twitter blasts from Newfoundland to the Queen Charlotte Islands.

For his part, Marty seemed to enjoy the festivities. As a horse owner, I noted he was an older guy, and most likely had never had this much attention in his entire 15 years of life.

But he took it all in stride, the perfect celebrity, chewing on the snacks given to him, posing for pictures and entering places that looked nothing like a barn. Yes, for Marty, it was his 15 minutes of glorious equine fame.

Reporters, who perhaps would have been better used reporting on byelections

or conflicts in the Middle East, provided a play-by-play of the events on York Street.

They had officially been downgraded from their respective beats, and were on horse watch. It was no doubt the big break they’d all been waiting for.

It went a little something like this, I imagine: 9:00 a.m.: Marty has been unloaded from his trailer.

Annalee 9:15 a.m.: Marty is being groomed, enjoying an ear Grant scratch.

9:17 a.m.: Marty has sneezed on his handler.

9:30 a.m.: Marty is now wearing a saddle.

9:40 a.m.: Marty has tossed his head, en route to Royal York.

9:41 a.m. Marty tows the party along York Street.

9:45 a.m.: Marty and his party are told to scram.

9:50 a.m. Marty and his fellow Stampeders fans chant, “Let us in!”

9:53 a.m.: Marty swishes his tail. Stomps a hoof.

10:00 a.m.: Marty is eating a carrot. Still not allowed in.

10:05 a.m.: Marty protests by dropping horse apples on the steps of the Royal York.

Duly noted by Fairmont staff.

10:15 a.m.: Marty has been invited into the BMO Bank. He did not make a deposit.

10:45 a.m.: Hillary Clinton leaves Gaza destined to broker deal between Royal York and Marty.

10:59 a.m.: Marty trudges back to the Royal York to wait it out.

11:00 a.m.: Twitter users accuse Royal York of being a Marty party pooper.

12:50 p.m.: Royal York begins rewriting health and safety code to allow mammals of the equine variety to stay at the hotel.

1:59 p.m.: Royal York staff prop open the door to their hotel.

2:00 p.m.: Marty is allowed in!

2:15 p.m.: Marty signs the guestbook at the Royal York with his hoof.

2:20 p.m.: Executive chef of Royal York presents Marty with bucket of carrots and apples.

2:25 p.m.: The Calgary Stampeders have officially made their hoof mark on the city of Toronto.

2:30 p.m.: Royal York staff scrub the granite floors of horse poo and the Stampeders are no closer to winning the Grey Cup. 2:55 p.m.: Marty is spotted sipping a beer with his rider at a local pub. All in a day’s work.

Opinion/NEWS

... And brocken spectres too “I have often walked up that scree before, but the boulders always stayed beneath my feet before.”

– Stolen from My Fair Lady

J

ust recently, a neighbour presented me with a pristine copy of Janice Strong’s book, Mountain Footsteps, and I have to admit I admire the lady’s profound sense of humour. Janice Strong’s, I mean.

The book describes some hikes and climbs here in the Kootenays as strolls in the park but, believe me, it’s not always like that: hardly ever, in fact.

But a person must get away into the countryside occasionally if only to escape being trampled to death by the herds of deer in the cities.

I was reading in the relative safety of my living room Ms. Strong’s description of the ascent of Teepee Mountain and trying hard not to laugh too cynically.

You see, I have climbed this noble mountain several times and not one ascent sounded remotely like the book’s description.

For example, on the first dramatic assault we never found the wide trail and even grades, and have been grateful ever since. That track turned out to be a complete and utter bore that all but ruined another eventful day.

A friend had been given the job of surveying said trail and he asked me if I could direct him to it. The directions we’d been given and the suggestions that I made were less than helpful but, when we did finally stumble on the path, the surveyor may have found it interesting, but the rest of the party was bored out of their trees by the relentless trees that blocked all views.

It is great to break free of the impenetrable forest and clamber on to the ridges of Mount Stevens where, on many occasions, the views can be sensational. However, on one ascent, the clouds moved Peter in and we could barely see Warland our hands in front of our faces.

Then the sun broke through and our greatly enlarged shadows were cast upon the cloud. This had an ethereal effect as each one of us heathens had a halo about his head. The Brocken Spectre is an interesting phenomenon and almost caused us to stumble over that rocky ridge that straddles the ridge and caused us to use un-ethereal language.

I can’t recall the heathers and dryas flowers.

Ms Janice suggests that a climber should pack at least two litres of water but she neglects to mention the tiny lakes that abound. A quick, healthful dip into one of these pearls, like the views of prancing, naked bodies, takes one’s breath away.

The first time we ascended Teepee, we drove up from the Estella mine road as far as possible and then thrashed straight up a slide to the ridge.

We ended up miles from the peak but tottered along over Mount Stevens to the summit. We found an alternative way down through a forest full of fallen trees, something my dog didn’t appreciate.

At the end of that day, my friend, the dog and I drove to Wasa Lake where all three of us walked straight into the water to re-hydrate.

One spring, Roger, who is full of preposterone, suggested that we assault Teepee on skis. Again we drove as far up the logging road as possible - even further - then with skins on the skis we hiked up to the ridge near to where the famous trail emerges.

We found the crest to be wind-blown and not much fun on skis so, after a few tentative but joyful, successful runs down into the basin behind Teepee, we opted to head home.

Well! That afternoon the weather had got somewhat warmer and the snow a great deal softer and so Roger and I performed linked catastrophes, burying our heads far too frequently for my liking, but we did survive another epic on Teepee, even if not on Ms. Strong’s approved trails.

We didn’t see any Brocken Spectres that time nor did we need to refresh our damp and weary bodies in Wasa Lake on the way home.

US shoppers skip Thanksgiving dinner to camp out for deals as Black Friday starts early Associated Press

NEW YORK — Stores across the United States stayed opened during the wee hours Friday as bargain hunters flooded in, seeking to get a jump on holiday shopping ahead of the Christmas season.

The early morning shopping chaos that has become a day-after-Thanksgiving tradition crept back this year to eat into Thanksgiving Day itself. What was known as Black Friday — the day when stores traditionally turn a profit for the year — started on Thursday evening in many places.

When Macy’s opened its doors in New York City at midnight, 11,000 shoppers showed up.

Target opened its doors at 9 p.m. Thursday, three hours earlier than last year. Sears, which didn’t open on Thanksgiving last year, opened at 8 p.m.

Elizabeth Garcia, a sales rep from New York City, went shopping at about 3:30 a.m. at a nearby Toys R Us in Times Square. Garcia, who has three children ages three, five and seven, said she specifi-

Shoppers wait in line Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012 outside a Target store in Odessa, Texas. The line circled the building and took approximately 30 minutes to enter Target when it opened at 9 p.m. cally decided on the late time to avoid the crowds on Thanksgiving when the store opened at 8 p.m. She believes that was the best decision: Last year, Garcia almost got into a fight over a Tinkerbell couch, but this year things were much calmer.

It is unclear how many shoppers were drawn to the earlier openings versus the traditional Black Friday hours. But according to an International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers conducted this month, about 17 per cent planned to shop at stores that opened on Thanksgiving, up from 16 per cent last year

when retailers were testing the earlier hours.

Meanwhile, 33 per cent intended to shop on Black Friday, down one percentage point from last year. Overall, it’s estimated that sales on Black Friday will be up 3.8 per cent to $11.4 billion this year.

The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear won’t spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty.

Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as

the “fiscal cliff’’ that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then.

At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere.

That’s put added pressure on brick-andmortar stores, which can make up to 40 per cent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season, to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes. That’s becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federa-

tion, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 per cent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last year’s growth. But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 per cent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.

Brick-and-mortar retailers have been trying everything they can to lure consumers into stores. Some stores tested the earlier hours last year, but this year more retailers opened their doors late on Thanksgiving.

Some workers were expected to protest the Thanksgiving hours. A union-backed group of retail workers called Retail Action Project planned protests in front of several stores, including AnnTaylor, Forever 21 and others that were opening at midnight on Black Friday and earlier.

“It shows that the companies are not valuing their workers.

They’re looking to their workers to squeeze out more profits,’’ said Carrie Gleason, director of Retail Action Project.

Boxer dies after being taken off life support DANIC A COTO Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Former championship boxer Hector “Macho” Camacho died Saturday at the hospital in Puerto Rico where he has been unconscious since he was shot in the face in an attack in his hometown.

Camacho went into cardiac arrest in the pre-dawn hours and he was then taken off life support and died shortly thereafter, said Dr. Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Medico trauma centre in San Juan.

Camacho’s mother, Maria Matias, said Friday night that she had

supported removing him from life support after his three sons had arrived from the U.S. mainland and had a chance to see their father for the last time.

They managed to visit him before he died, said former pro boxer Victor “Luvi” Callejas, a longtime friend.

“The family is destroyed,” Callejas said outside the hospital.

Doctors had declared Camacho brain dead on Thursday. Matias had said she decided it was time for doctors to disconnect life support over the objections of the boxer’s eldest son, Hector Jr., because there was no chance of recovery.

Martial arts club brings home the medals TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Nine fighters from Rocky Mountain Academy of Martial Arts tested their mettle during a tournament in Fernie last week that brought out fighters of all ages and all skill levels to try their hand at continuous sparring and points fighting.

Fernie Martial Arts hosted the event and while small, it was action packed and full of drama, with every member of the Cranbrook team walking away with a medal.

“It wasn’t really any

special coaching that made the team do so well—it was just focusing on good basics and lots of fitness that helped them out,” said RMAMA coach Joel Huncar. “Having hard working students with positive attitudes makes my job easy.”

Local fighter Tyson Hircher beat out his RMAMA teammate Dave Buckley for first place, as the two had a heated battle in the final match for the gold medal. Hircher, 16, had been riding a high from another gold place finish at the Mike

Miles continuous tournament in Calgary a month ago.

He ended up competing in the adult category with Buckley, as the two had no other teens big enough to compete against. Despite being teammates, their bout was a spirited affair, and the ref had to step in and warn them about too much contact, but the two friends kept it clean as they battled for gold.

Buckley’s second place finish mirrored the same result he got a month ago at the

same tournament as his teammate a month ago in Calgary.

Logan Robertson, another Cranbrookian, had a golden finish in his first-ever tournament where he competed in continuous and points sparring, even though the RMAMA doesn’t train in point sparring.

The younger children had a great time and medaled as well.

Grace Payne earned a first place in point sparring and continuous fighting. Tom Sutton came third in point sparring and first in

continuous, while Dante Young—the youngest member of the team—came second in both categories.

The ladies also had a great showing, considering the three Cranbrook athletes that competed had only been training for less than three months.

Karla Clark was third in points sparring and second in continuous sparring, while her twin sister, Krista, came second in points sparring, followed by Samantha Payne, who finished third in continuous sparring.

EDMONTON OIL KINGS EKFH STICK NIGHT Game & Ticket Info 250.417.0322

Tickets available at the Kootenay ICE Office and the Western Financial Place Box Office.

The Kootenay Ice have returned from their first major road trip of the season smarting from three straight losses after an excursion into the U.S. Division of the WHL. Following their 7-4 loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds last Wednesday, the Ice rolled into the weekend and dropped consecutive contests to the Portland Winterhawks and the Everett Silvertips.

Kootenay blew a 2-1 lead against the hottest

team in the WHL, as the Winterhawks scored three third period goals to win 4-2 on Friday, while Everett rode a 3-2 lead after the opening period and won the game by a score of 4-3 the following night.

The Winterhawks have won 16 of their last 17 games, while Everett’s victory was a quick turnaround from a midweek road loss to the Spokane Chiefs.

Ice head coach Ryan McGill points to inconsistent goaltending as game-changing factors in both affairs.

Wyatt Hoflin got the start against Portland and was peppered with 48 shots, while Mackenzie Skapski stood in goal against the Silvertips, giving up four goals in 28 shots.

“I didn’t think our goaltending was consis-

tent, from both guys all weekend,” said McGill.

“We gave up a poor rebound on Portland’s winning goal to one of the leading scores in the league so that can’t happen.

“The other guy, yesterday [Saturday] in a game that we needed to win…a tough outing altogether for him.”

Three third period goals erased a one-goal deficit to lift the Winterhawks to the win over the Ice on Friday evening.

‘Hawks forward Paul Bittner picked up the

garbage from teammate Taylor Peters, who’d driven to the net with the puck but lost the handle, for an early lead.

However, the Ice responded in the second period, when Levi Cable stuffed in a wraparound for his second goal of the season and Kyle O’Connor picked up a rebound off a slap shot from Joey Leach at the point to pull ahead.

The third period decided the contest, as Portland surged for three goals to earn the win.

Argonauts win Grey Cup on home soil C anadian Press

TORONTO - Pacino Horne and the Toronto Argonauts defence took all the pressure off Ricky Ray’s shoulders in the 100th Grey Cup. Horne’s 25-yard interception return for a touchdown highlighted a rugged defensive performance that staggered the Calgary Stampeders before Ray delivered the knockout punch and earned the Argos the historic 35-22 win Sunday.

“They dominated the game and gave us that score which was huge,” Ray said of Toronto’s defence. “We didn’t have to play with a lot of pressure on us offensively.

“Chad Owens was outstanding player and maybe they keyed on him and we have lots of great receivers, too. You can’t key on anybody.”

Chad Kackert “We had a lead the whole game pretty much and they were doing such a good job of limiting them to field goals that we felt like we could stick with our gameplan and stay patient and make solid plays.”

Expectations in Toronto were high this season with the acquisition of Ray, a two-time Grey Cup champion in Ed-

monton, in a blockbuster trade with the Eskimos last December. Ray finished 18-of-30 passing for 231 yards and two TDs with one interception on Sunday but didn’t feel he had to shoulder the load in the Argos’ biggest game of the year.

“It has been unbelievable coming to a new team at this point in my career after being in one place so long,” Ray said.

“To tell you I even had this in my mind when I got traded here, I didn’t.”

Toronto’s defence, under the guidance of former Calgary assistant Chris Jones, was solid in holding CFL rushing leader Jon Cornish to 57 yards while consistently pressuring quarterback Kevin Glenn. Ray’s seven-yard TD pass to Andre Durie late in the game cemented Toronto’s league-high 16th Grey Cup championship.

Milanovich said having the experienced Ray running the offence was key to Toronto’s win but added Horne’s touchdown was the turning point of the game.

“From then on I think our confidence was sky high and we played with the lead the rest of the game,” he said.

Toronto running back Chad Kackert, with 133 yards rushing, was the game MVP while defensive end Ricky Foley, a native of nearby Courtice, Ont., claimed top Canadian honours.

Kackert showed the Argos have a multi-faceted offence that could

Mousseau holds back Rebels, Nitros earn 3-1 win Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette

Toronto Argonauts kicker Swayze Waters holds the Grey Cup after defeating the Calgary Stampeders in CFL action on Sunday. compensate for a relatively quiet game from CFL outstanding player Chad Owens. The league’s top receiver this season had two catches for 14 yards while adding four punt returns for 27 yards and two kickoff returns for 62 yards.

“Chad Owens was outstanding player and maybe they keyed on him and we have a lot of great receivers too,” Kackert said. “You can’t key on anybody.”

It was a monumental victory for a Toronto organization that rolled the dice with four huge

moves this season: hiring a rookie coach in Milanovich, landing a new defensive co-ordinator in Jones (and paying a $5,000 tampering fine from the CFL), acquiring Ray and releasing CFL rushing leader Cory Boyd in favour of sophomore Kackert.

All four paid major dividends for the Argos, who captured the Grey Cup win at home at a time when, with the NHL in a lockout, they had the sports spotlight in the city all to themselves.

They’ll celebrate their win with a victory parade

through downtown on Tuesday.

The Argos dominated a potent Calgary offence that scored 51 TDs this season - tied with Montreal for the league lead holding it to just four field goals before Maurice Price’s TD catch and twopoint conversion with 20 seconds remaining.

Horne brought the rabid Rogers Centre sellout crowd of 53,208 to its feet in the opening half.

His key 25-yard TD interception return staked Toronto to a dominant 18point halftime advantage.

Jeremy Mousseau stood tall in net on Saturday night, leading his team to a 3-1 victory over the visiting Castlegar Rebels at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Mousseau had to do a little more work than his counterpart on the other end of the rink, stopping 36 shots, while Tanner Grey, Tyson Klingspohn and Eric Buckley provided the offense.

Dylan Bowerman scored for the Rebels in the third period, while stopper Jordan Gluck made 30 saves in defeat.

The Nitros failed to convert on seven power plays, while the Rebels were denied five separate times with the man-advantage.

Kimberley opened the scoring in the latter half of the first period on a goal from Grey, and doubled in the second frame, off an effort from Kling-

spohn.

Castlegar came alive in the third period, nearly doubling the Nitros on the shot clock and Bowerman was able to get his goal with nearly six minutes left in the frame.

However, Kimberley preserved their lead and held on for the win, with Buckley scoring an empty-net goal with just over a minute remaining.

Kimberley is chasing the Fernie Ghostriders for first place in the Eddie Mountain Division of the KIJHL with a threepoint deficit. The Nitros are tied for seventh overall in the league with the Osoyoos Coyotes.

Next action for Kimberley is a mid week game this Tuesday against the visiting Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

The Thunder Cats are fourth in the Eddie Mountain division, and will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

Ice get no mercy from American opponents Jewellery Show Open House Continued from page 8

Nic Petan had a pair of goals to tie the game and take the lead—the first when he trailed an odd-man rush and pounced on a loose puck and the second when he finished a rebound off a shot from Ty Rattie.

Brendan Leipsic scored the token empty netter.

“They just attack,” said McGill, on what makes Portland so successful. “They have a tremendous amount of skill, they have a tremendous amount of speed and with speed and skill together, they just attack.

“They don’t sit back and obviously every

team in the league would like to move the puck how they do and their transition game is tremendous, so that’s why they have success.”

Kootenay continued their road trip into Everett the next day and the Silvertips capitalized on a few mistakes to end the game with a 4-3 victory.

It was a shooting gallery in the first period, as both teams combined for 5 goals.

Ice defenceman Tanner Muth lit the goal lamp less than 20 seconds into the game, but the ‘Tips responded on a pair of goals from Tyler Sandu. Jon Martin brought the Ice back to

even terms near the halfway mark of the first period.

However, 15 seconds later, disaster struck.

Everett banked the puck off the glass in their own end, which tricked down into the Kootenay zone, as ‘Tips forward Reid Petryk and Ice defence man Matt Thomas engaged in a footrace for it.

Skapski came out of his crease to play it, but Petryk managed to poke the puck away from the Ice goaltender’s stick, which slid into a gaping net.

The bad luck continued into the second period, when the puck took a weird bounce off the wall from an Everett

dump-in that went right to the stick of forechecker Ty Mappin, who put the biscuit away while Skapski was expecting it to rim around the corner boards.

Czech import Jakub Prochazka extended his point streak to four games, scoring in the third period to bring the Ice within one goal of a tie, but the ‘Tips held on for the win.

Erik Benoit returned to the lineup after missing the last seven games with a lower body injury, trading the crutches for his skates and hockey stick. Brock Montgomery and Spencer Wand are still out with upper-body injuries;

Montgomery is day-today, while Wand is expected to be another week or two.

ICE NOTES: Ice defenceman Spencer Wand is the 24th ranked skater as determined by the NHL Central Scouting’s fall preliminary rankings for the 2013 NHL Draft, which was released last week, while teammate Wyatt Hoflin was sixth overall in goaltender standings. Ice rookie forward Collin Shirley has been named to Team West for the World U17 Challenge, which will be jointly hosted by Victoriaville and Drummondville in Quebec just after the Christmas break.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Six months ago, I reconnected with the guy I have loved since grade school. “Thomas” left after graduation to live in another state. I know he has schizophrenia, and I’m willing to take the risk. Even though I’m 18 and still in high school, I plan to become a doctor.

I’ve done research and know what I’m up against. Thomas says he hears voices and sees dark figures, and he snaps sometimes, but it seems like he can refocus once I get him to concentrate on me.

Last Thursday, Thomas broke up with me. He apologized for breaking my heart, but he says his schizophrenia is getting worse, and he fears he’s going to hurt me. Annie, Thomas knows I love him and would do anything for him. I gave up sleep and time to make sure he knows I’m always here. I listen to him and hold him close when he gets upset. I never get mad at him. We have never fought.

I don’t want to lose him again. That happened once, and we didn’t speak for three whole years! I don’t want to go through that emotional turmoil again. I know people say I’m “too young” to understand what love is, but I believe I have a good idea. I need advice. -- Terri Dear Terri: Thomas is telling you his schizophrenia is not under control, and he justifiably worries that he could hurt you or himself. Is he taking antipsychotic medication? He will need to do this for the rest of his life, and there are side effects.

Schizophrenics also have an increased risk of drug and alcohol abuse. This is a lot of responsibility for anyone to take on.

We don’t doubt that you care deeply for Thomas, but you may be romanticizing your ability to “save” him. And your determination to have a relationship creates pressure that he apparently can’t handle.

Please put his welfare first and simply be his friend with no other expectation, and encourage him to stick with appropriate medical treatment.

Dear Annie: Our son is marrying a beautiful woman from Mexico. The cost of the flights are more than his siblings can afford, not to mention the hotel, dresses, tuxes, showers, parties, etc. But we will help our kids because we know our son would be hurt if they didn’t attend.

The bride’s family may put us up at the hotel, which would be nice, but I don’t want us to look like moochers. Do we still offer to pay for the rehearsal dinner? We have told our son how much money we can give them for a wedding gift, and all of this will deplete nearly all of our savings.

Any advice? -- Need a Money Tree Dear Need: Please don’t spend more than you can afford. Tell your son you have a budget that will have to cover all costs, including the rehearsal dinner. If it costs more, he will need to pay for it himself. It’s OK to accept the offer from the bride’s family to put you up at a hotel.

And it is not unreasonable to suggest to your son that he and his new bride have a reception later in your hometown for his siblings and other friends. We hope he can be reasonable instead of being hurt.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Frustrated Dad,” whose son plays video games all night and sleeps all day. Our son was the same. When things crashed, it turned out he was hiding vodka, drinking all night and sleeping all day.

We had no idea our son was an alcoholic. Dad might want to check whether there is always a big bottle of mouthwash around. -- Dad Who’s Been Down that Path Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Poll shows what Canadians are proud of Bruce Cheadle Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Canadians, it seems, love their universal health care. The monarchy?

Not so much.

A new national poll commissioned by the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies examined the pride Canadians place in a list of more than a dozen symbols, achievements and attributes.

The online survey of 2,207 respondents by Leger Marketing found universal health care was almost universally loved, with 94 per cent calling it an important source of collective pride — including 74 per cent who called it “very important.’’

At the other end of the spectrum, just 39 per cent of respondents felt the monarchy was a source of personal

or collective pride, while 59 per cent were royally unimpressed. In fact, 32 per cent of respondents found the monarchy “not at all important’’ — the most popular singular response.

The findings provide an interesting snapshot of the country after seven years under a Stephen Harper government that’s made a priority of promoting its own blend of nation-building symbols.

The military, the Arctic, sports and the monarchy have been staples of Conservative messaging almost from the time Harper took office early in 2006.

More recently, the government has spent more than $100 million over the past four years on jaunty “economic action plan’’ advertising in concert with a constant refrain from Con-

servatives about Canada’s relative prosperity in a battered global economy.

But Canada’s economic performance finished among the top four pride-instilling achievements.

Canada’s “reputation in the world’’ also fared well in the survey.

Canadian foreign policy has moved toward a more robust, warrior-state under the Harper government and away from the peace-keeping, “honest broker’’ persona that dates from the Lester Pearson Liberals of the 1960s.

That’s sparked some political controversy, but hasn’t shaken Canadians’ international self-image.

Rounding out the top four — with 60 per cent calling it “very important’’ and nine out of 10 respondents deeming it important — was the

Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Conservatives consciously downplayed this year’s 30th anniversary of the Charter, choosing to mark the occasion with a simple press release.

By contrast, the government has budgeted more than $28 million to mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, a multi-year program that includes everything from TV advertising to upgrading historic sites and striking commemorative coins.

Alas, the historic series of battles between the British and the Americans came in near the bottom of the Leger online survey, albeit still far ahead of the monarchy in perceived importance.

Partisans keeping score might take solace that old Liberal standards, the policy

of official bilingualism and the 1982 patriation of the Constitution, tied with the War of 1812 as a source of pride. All three were deemed somewhat or very important by 61 per cent of respondents.

All three also posted significant negatives — especially bilingualism.

Thirty-six per cent of respondents felt official bilingualism was of little or no importance to their pride in Canada, while 30 per cent were unimpressed with the War of 1812 and 25 per cent shrugged off Canada getting its own constitution.

Multiculturalism didn’t fare a whole lot better.

While 68 per cent felt it was a source of pride, 29 per cent were left cold.

The middle of the pack was dominated by some familiar symbols.

The Canadian flag and the passport were sources of pride for 84 per cent of respondents, followed by the national anthem at 78 per cent.

The Armed Forces, another key Conservative theme, were deemed a source of collective pride by 76 per cent, just behind “our federal system of governance.’’

Hockey, incidentally, didn’t fare well at all.

Only 48 per cent of respondents said the game imparted an important sense of national pride. The 1972 Summit Series, meanwhile, was even lower at 40 per cent.

“Our history’’ and the 1867 Confederation agreements rounded out the possible choices for survey respondents and did quite well.

Heffel fall art auction reaches Quebec commentators chide Justin $11.5 million in total sales Trudeau for comments about Alberta CANADIAN PRESS

Benjamin Shingler Canadian Press

TORONTO — The 2012 Heffel fall auction of Canadian post-war and contemporary art held at Toronto’s Park Hyatt Hotel on Thursday night reached total sales of $11.5 million.

In all, eight sales records were broken, led

by Group of Seven artist Lawren Harris’ ‘’Hurdy Gurdy’’ at $1,082,250 while works by Emily Carr achieved sales of $2,180,000.

Heffel had estimated that Harris’ work, which depicts Toronto’s Ward district, was expected to fetch between $400,000 and $600,000.

All prices include a 17 per cent buyer’s premium. ‘’Frivolous September, Up the Gorge (Blue Sky and Forest)’’ by Carr sold for $643,500, well above the pre-sale estimate of as much as $250,000 for oil on paper.

Other works by Carr that sold above their estimated prices included “Alert Bay,“ which sold for $702,000 against an estimate of $200,000$300,000 and ‘Skidegate,’ which sold for $585,000.

In total, the seven works by Carr sold for $2.18 million.

Other highlights include ‘’King of the Mountain’’ by William Kurelek, which was ex-

MONTREAL — Justin Trudeau has come under criticism for his comments about Alberta in the place where he made them in an interview two years ago — Quebec.

The Liberal MP and leadership candidate blamed the country’s problems on Albertans controlling the political agenda in a 2010 French-language television show that resurfaced this week.

The interview didn’t make any waves in Quebec when it first aired but some pundits now argue Trudeau was out of line.

One newspaper columnist hypothesized about what would happen if the tables were turned, and Quebec were on the receiving end of such comments.

Yves Boisvert of Montreal’s La Presse said Quebecers would be outraged if another high-profile politician made similar statements about their own province.

“We can easily imagine the howls we’d make if a contender for the leadership of a federal party spoke in such generalizing terms about Quebecers,’’ Boisvert said in a column on the newspaper’s website.

Boisvert suggested that Trudeau supporters should “start to ask serious questions about the quality of his political judgment, and his judgment in general.’’

To lump all Albertans together, as traditionally conservative as the province may be, demonstrates a “lack of prudence,’’ Boisvert said.

A writer for the magazine L’Actualite said the comments could hurt Trudeau for a long time to come as he tries to make inroads in Western Canada.

Another painting that surpassed sales expectations was ‘’Snowed In’’ by Franz Johnston, which sold for $128,700 — above its pre-action estimate of up to $80,000. ‘’West Coast 2/06: Dawn, Pacific Ocean, at Brooks Peninsula’’ by Takao Tanabe also sold

well above its estimated selling price of up to $30,000 at $76,050.

“This auction exceeded our expectations and it is a testament to the strength of the Canadian art market,’’ said Heffel Art Auction House president David K.J. Heffel.

“We set new records for artists from coast-tocoast including Jack Shadbolt, Takao Tanabe, Emily Carr and William Kurelek.’’

Heffel’s spring 2012 live auction had achieved total sales of $14.6 million.

CANADIAN PRESS/Richard Lam

Justin Trudeau listens to a reporter’s question during a press conference in Vancouver, on Friday, November 23, 2012.

“In one fell swoop, this particular interview revives doubts shared by many in Western Canada about the federal Liberals,’’ Manon Cornellier said in a blog post.

“What should they believe?

What Justin Trudeau said only two years ago or what he’s saying now, as he seeks their support in his bid for the Liberal Party of Canada.’’

In the interview on Les francstireurs, Trudeau said that “Canada isn’t doing well right now because it’s Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda.’’

He also said Canada would be better served if there were more Quebecers than Albertans in charge.

Trudeau apologized on Friday, saying his comments were

meant to be directed at Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who rose to power as an MP from Calgary.

His comment about the lack of Quebecers in power, he said, were an attempt to urge voters in Quebec to support a national party rather than the Bloc Quebecois.

The Conservatives have pounced on the old interview in the past few days as they battle with the Liberals in a hotly contested Calgary byelection.

While Trudeau has taken heat for the interview, some Quebecers believe it may in fact boost his popularity in their own province, where Harper’s Conservatives remain unpopular.

“His comment could help him win votes here,’’ a reader said on the La Presse website.

Cruising Alaska: big, bold and beautiful

Plan now for a spring cruise through Alaska’s dramatic scenery, says Diane Manson of Carlson Wagonlit Mountain City Travel

M

entioning Alaska in November, with winter on Kootenay doorsteps, seems absurd. However, if cruising to Alaska is on your wish list, now is the perfect time to entertain next summer’s vacation.

Alaska’s roots stem from Klondike Gold Rush towns, vibrant First Nations cultures, and Russian heritage.

This eclectic past and today’s friendly residents will surely charm you at each port of call.

The great outdoors provides pristine untamed nature as far as the eye can see. Humpback whales, soaring eagles, steep-sided fjords, and glacier viewing at its finest: North America’s last frontier is truly astounding.

Cruise season to Alaska is a short season, mid-May through

mid-September. Dry weather can never be guaranteed in coastal Alaska. Bringing an umbrella and a few warm layers of clothing is always recommended (particularly during May). June offers long days of sunlight. On average, July and August provides the warmest weather. Depending on your schedule and budget, early September may be another great time to discover the Inside Passage and the white, iced-capped landscape of Alaska.

Depending on your itinerary you can do almost any type of activity or adventure while in port. Not to be missed: salmon and halibut fishing, riding the vintage White Pass Railway, thrilling helicopter and floatplane excursions.

Discover the world’s largest collection of

totem poles, snorkel, glide on a zip-line, mountain bike, nature walk, hike, and shop.

Right on the dock eat the freshest and tastiest fish and chips, and juicy melt-in-your mouth king crab. There are endless things to see and do. There is something for every taste and budget.

Booking early gives you a first choice of sailing dates. Our recommendation at Mountain City Travel is to book a balcony stateroom. We consider this a must do when discovering Alaska’s breathtaking shoreline.

A seven-day return-trip sailing begins and ends in Vancouver.

Seattle as a start-point may also be a consideration. Depending on your wish list, you may want to sail one way and fly one way, starting or

Pine beetles so widespread they’re contributing to climate change: study Bob Weber Canadian Press

EDMONTON — Newly published research suggests mountain pine beetles have become so widespread that they’re not just benefiting from global warming, they’re starting to contribute to it.

“The effects of climate change cascade,’’ said Holly Maness, whose paper was published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

“Previous studies have shown that climate change allowed the beetle to flourish.

But our work shows that beetle infestations in turn feed back into climate.’’

Scientists have concluded that the gradually warming climate has allowed the tree-killing beetle to spread into forests it used to be frozen out of.

The report quotes figures suggesting that over the last decade, the bugs have spread

over about 20 per cent of the total area of British Columbia, making it one of the largest ecological disturbances ever recorded.

Maness, an earth scientist working at the University of Toronto, decided to study how turning about 170,000 square kilometres of green forest into grey, leafless stands of dead trees would affect the regional climate.

Using temperature data from satellites, she and her team concluded that beetle-ravaged forests were, on average, one degree warmer during the summer than healthy forests.

The reason? Tree sweat, or rather, the lack thereof.

“Trees sweat to help cool themselves in the same way that humans do,’’ said Maness.

“When you kill a tree, it’s going to stop sweating. That means that solar radiation that

was previously spent evaporating water from these trees is now going into heating the surface.’’

The amount of water released by trees isn’t as easily measured as surface temperature, but Maness’s paper uses an average of three different proxies to estimate it.

When she calculated the amount of energy that was no longer going into evaporation from tree leaves, the result was very close to what it would take to create the observed temperature change.

“Solar energy can either evaporate water or it can heat the surface, so if you measure both of those things and they give results that are consistent with each other, you have a fair amount of confidence the result is right.’’

Maness acknowledges her study raises more questions than it answers. What’s all that

heat collected in the ground going to do?

“We’ve shown that the surface temperature increases that we’ve seen are sufficient to drive changes in cloud cover and precipitation, but it needs to be directly measured.’’

Earlier snow melt is another possibility that brings with it potential changes in groundwater and spring runoff patterns.

Maness found that some changes are similar to what happens in areas scorched by forest fires, but the beetle impacts are much larger and leave a more complex pattern of dead and living trees.

Maness is willing to suggest that beetle-caused warming won’t allow the bugs to spread more quickly. The effect is limited to areas already infested.

“It would surprise me if it accelerated their ability to claim more forests.’’

extended to include Denali National Park, the Northern Lights viewed beautifully from Fairbanks, or the raw countryside along the Yukon River.

An Alaska cruise was once thought to be ‘saved’ as something to do when you get older.

This is a part of the world literally just out-

side your doorstep. The air is fresh, the beauty will wow you, and this magical place should not be missed. Don’t wait!
