City turns over fire truck to RDEK TOW N S M A N S TA F F

The City of Cranbrook has officially turned over the keys of one of its pumper trucks to the Regional District of East Kootenay.

The RDEK and a citizens group have been working on establishing a fire service in Elko and the original intent was to donate the pumper truck to Elko to help lower costs for a new fire department.

However, the establishment of a fire service is still a ways off.

Efforts are currently focused on raising additional funds to offset the costs of starting a new fire department, and if adequate funding is raised, the issue still needs to go out to the community for a decision on whether or not a fire service proceeds in Elko.

Two rivers project made province what it is today New book marks 50th anniversary of BC Hydro, proceeds to Vancouver Children’s Hospital BARRY COULTER

A special book is floating around the Cranbrook area, one that should prove of interest to many local residents.

“Voices from Two Rivers: Harnessing the Power of the Peace and Columbia,” by Meg Stanley, has been produced to mark the 50th anniversary of BC Hydro, which is this year, 2012.

The book details a significant period of B.C. history. It explores

W.A.C. Bennett’s “Two Rivers” policy of of hydroelectric development on the Peace and Columbia Rivers from 1962 to 1985. It is divided into two sections, one on each river system.

“B.C. wouldn’t be what it is today without these two projects,” said Ron Tarr, a member of the BC Hydro Power Pioneers, who are distributing the books around the province.

It’s the end of an era in Cranbrook, as one of our longest serving and most notable businesses has come to a close. Stefan’s Hair Studio in downtown Cranbrook had its last day on Saturday, Dec. 22, with business partners Stefan Zhukrovsky and Judy Gooda deciding it was time to move on. Stefan has been working since 1971 in Cranbrook, and the downtown studio in the heritage building has been open since 1976.

2012: The year in local news

It was a busy year for the newsroom at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, and one the team will not soon forget. Here is a recap of some of the area’s biggest stories in 2012 from court happenings to the Jumbo Glacier Resort, starting with January through March.

• 2012 unfortunately opened with tragedy, when a 21-year-old woman was killed

in a New Year’s Day accident on Mission Road. Speed and alcohol were believed to be a factor in the crash. The driver, Ronald Capilo, was later charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, and failure to stop at the scene of a crime.

That matter continues to be heard in Cranbrook Provincial Court.

• The City of Cranbrook

received a big boost for its wastewater system after Canada’s Gas Tax fund contributed $8.5 million to the project.

The money went towards upgrades at the city facility and the spray irrigation system and allowed the city to replace four kilometres of pipe between the storage facility and the spray irrigation fields.

That work was completed in the fall.

• Cranbrook senior Marga-

ret MacDonald was still fighting to have charges against her dismissed in January, after the 82-year-old woman was charged with failing to provide a breath sample.

The incident happened on May 21, 2011, when MacDonald was returning home from Jaffray. She was pulled over by police after turning the wrong way on Cranbook Street.

KELOWNA, B.C. — A couple from B.C.’s Okanagan are still amazed after receiving an email message in exchange for a bottled message some 12,000 kilometres from where they tossed it in the ocean three years ago.

Brian and Joan Stewart of Naramata, north of Penticton, say they had all but forgotten about the bottle they launched off the deck of

a cruise ship while passing Cape Horn during a cruise to South America in March 2010.

But then a response came out of the blue, from a father and his 14-year-old daughter who last month discovered the wine bottle on a beach near Perth, Australia.

Phil and Lili Hanley told them they were walking outdoors after a storm when the teen spotted the treasure

resting amongst some seaweed on the country’s west coast.

The couple say the bottle must have floated eastward from Cape Horn, crossing the South Atlantic and Indian oceans, before emerging near one of Australia’s biggest cities.

The Stewarts have since exchanged several emails with the Australian family, who sent them a photo of the bottle and its still dry con-

tents.

“They were so excited, they couldn’t believe it,’’ Joan Stewart said.

The couple had flung the bottle to sea on March 22, 2010 as a way to mark their trip.

It included the date, their business card with home and email addresses, and two U.S. dollar bills for postage inside a zip-lock bag.

“Who knows where this could end up?’’ Joan Stewart recalled think-

Although Cape Horn is best known for its howling winds, the weather that day was calm and rainy when they dropped it into the water seven or eight decks below.

“I really thought it was going to smash when it hit the water,’’ Brian Stewart said.

Instead, the couple watched in fascination as the corked bottle bobbed in the waves as the ship continued on its way.

Then, last month, the Stewarts received the unexpected email from the family living in the Perth-area community of San Remo.

“It was just absolutely an amazing thing,’’ Joan Stewart said. “It could have landed anywhere.

“It could have landed on a rocky beach, it could have landed on an abandoned beach. The cork could have popped and it could have filled with water and sank.’’

Brian Stewart said the result has made the couple feel good.

“It’s just a nice, heart-warming story to find a message in a bottle,’’ he said.

Looking back on the year in local news Continued from page 1 MacDonald was given a breathalyzer, and due to a health issue, she was unable to generate sufficient breath to successfully complete the test. She was charged with failure to provide a breath sample, prohibited from driving for three months, a $500 fine and her car was towed.

The savy senior went immediately to the hospital and obtained a blood sample that proved she did not have alcohol in her system. The Solicitor General later ordered a review of the case.

• The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce honoured Citizen of the Year, Chris Ayling on January 18, 2012.

Ayling was chosen for his efforts in chairing the Cranbrook Connected committee and completing the Connected to our Future sustainability plan.

• MLA for Kootenay East Bill Bennett announced in January that the troubled Purcell mountain caribou herd would be boosted by a transplant of 20 animals. But the plan could not go ahead unless wolves in the area were culled, Bennett said. The animals were transplanted in early March but their struggles continued to make the news through the year.

• A Cranbrook RCMP officer was

charged with theft, Chief Superintendent Michael Sekela announced on January 30, 2012. Const. Bryden Hennessey stepped down from the force after an internal investigation revealed he had stolen a laptop.

That case continues to be heard in Cranbrook Provincial Coiurt.

• In February Cranbrook city Council heard the first call for backyard chickens – and the debate would continue to pop up on their radar through the year. A local resident brought the issue to the February 6 regular council meeting and it was referred to committee.

• MLA Bennett traveled to France on his own dime in February to speak with potential investors there interested in the Jumbo Glacier Resort. The trip was met with stiff opposition from the Ktunaxa Nation. Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation chair, said the visit sent a message that the decision on the Jumbo Glacier Resort had already been made.

• Cranbrook was introduced in February to tenacious pre-schooler Brooke Willisson. The young girl and her family headed to Cranbrook City Council to have their home expanded to suit her needs.

job action. The B.C. Teacher’s Federation went ahead with a strike vote, and teachers walked out from March 5 to 7.

• In what was arguably the biggest news story of the year, the Jumbo Glacier Resort’s master development agreement was signed by the provincial government in March after 20 years of intense debate from both sides of the issue. Opponents immediately panned the decision, saying the resort was not a done deal even though the agreement had been signed. The Ktunaxa announced they would consider their options, but said they would not back down.

• The man accused of abducting threeyear-old Sparwood boy Kienan Hebert surprised Cranbrook Supreme Court in March when he suddenly pleaded guilty. Randall Hopley pleaded guilty to abduction and a sentencing hearing was scheduled for later in the year.

• Tembec officially changed hands of its East Kootenay operations over to Canfor in March. President and CEO of the company, Don Kayne visited the area to oversee the launch of a new era in forest products in the region.

Elk Valley school reports ‘hazing’ incident Angela Treharne The Free Press

The Elk Valley RCMP is dealing with complaints of “hazing” at one of the secondary schools.

A few weeks ago, a member of the volleyball team was subjected to an initiation into the team, commonly known as “hazing.”

The RCMP said they are working with the school to try to stop this practice.

“We received a call a few weeks ago and the complainant informed us that there had been an incident involving a member of the volleyball team and the practice of “hazing” which we believe is some form of initiation,” said Sgt. Will Thien from the Elk Valley RCMP. Sgt. Thien said that unless the victim is prepared to disclose more information, there is not anything the police are

able to do.

“The practice of ‘hazing’ is, in my opinion, stupid, but from the police side of things we have to determine whether or not a criminal offence has taken place. The practice is not usually something we can charge people with and it may end up being something that the school needs to deal with.”

Sgt. Thien said the victim has not been willing to disclose information at this

point.

“We need the victim to disclose things to us in order for us to continue our investigations, but we can’t force him to do that.

“It’s an educational process that needs to take place between the school and the parents. However, our communication with the school is ongoing. We have to handle it very carefully. These are kids we’re talking about.”

City turns over fire pumper truck to RDEK Continued from page 1 In the interim, the pumper truck will be housed at the Jaffray Fire Department and used as a second engine. If a fire service is established in Elko, the pumper truck will be moved.

“I would like to once again thank the City of Cranbrook for its generosity,” says RDEK Electoral Area B Director, Heath Slee. “The donation of this truck will be a huge asset to our rural fire departments and we are so grateful.”

Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services was retiring the pumper after receiving delivery of a new engine earlier this month.

“We truly are one community here in the East Kootenay,” says Wayne Stetski, Mayor of Cranbrook.

“What happens in one of our towns and cities often benefits our neighbours. Getting our new fire engine and being able to donate this one to the RDEK is a prime example of that, and gifting it at Christmas time is very much in keeping with the season.”

And the book project is part of a larger idea, as Tarr explained.

“About four years ago (the Power Pioneers) took on a project called the ‘Miracle Million,’” Tarr said. “The goal is to raise $1 million for the Vancouver Children’s Hospital. So far, about three quarters of that has been raised.”

The money will go towards the construc-

tion of a large aquarium at the hospital, “for instruction and amusement.”

The project is aimed at the age group of two to eight years old. “We’re very happy to be part of this,” Tarr said.

The East Kootenay Invasive Plants Council has declared war on the Leafy Spurge – and the plant is losing.

The council is happy to announce their program has seen a 50 per cent reduction in the invasive plant throughout the Columbia Valley Crown Land since they began their fight in 2010.

“Leafy Spurge is one weed that we don’t want expanding its territory in the East Kootenay,” said EKIPC coordinator Marty Hafke.

The plant is among the 100 worst invasive alien species on the planet, and it found its way to the Kootenay region in a simple hay delivery. The plant was not found in the Columbia Valley until around the 1960s. It quickly began to spread and the EKIPC has been battling it for the past three years.

Hafke said the Columbia Valley between Invermere and Radium is infested with the plant, and its impact has been huge.

“Not only can it impact native grasslands and ecosystems but studies from Manitoba have shown that it re-

duces productivity, income and ultimately land values in areas where it is not controlled,” Hafke said.

The noxious weed easily chokes out native vegetation and has caused millions of dollars in damage and has significantly reduced biodiversity.

Hafke said that while B.C. has mostly remained spurge free, the Columbia Valley is unfortunately where it has taken up root.

The EKIPC believes the plant can be controlled, but it has required both Crown land and private land partnerships. Landowners on the west side of the Columbia Valley were approached to enroll in the Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Program, which provides them with supports and information to rid their land of the plant.

The landowners jumped on board.

Once the neighbours were on board, the next plan was to take on the Columbia Valley wetlands and Crown land.

The EKIPC was able to continue their battle against leafy spurge thanks to funding from the Columbia Valley

Local Conservation Fund, which is funded by the Regional District of East Kootenay.

Now, the EKIPC is happy to report that the entire land base is being treated with all the funding falling into place.

Hafke said the funding will help protect landowner’s investments and keep the weed from getting a chokehold on the valley’s flora.

The EKIPC will continue to work against

Two rivers project made B.C. what it is According to a review by Jenny Clayton in the British Columbian Quarterly, the book’s chapters focus on the history of the rivers before dam construction, visions of power, remaking the rivers, camp and community and impacts on residents and environments.

“Stanley’s goal is not the ‘present the Two Rivers policy as good or bad,’ but to ‘draw out the voices and acknowledge the various ways in which the Two Rivers policy was understood and experienced,’” the review cites.

Tarr says the book doesn’t shy away from examining the disruptions the projects caused, and well as the achievements.

“It’s quite balanced that way.”

How ever many are left over after the books have been gifted out to libraries and schools are to be sold, for $50 each, with all proceeds going to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital.

Tarr said he has made donations of the book to local schools, the Cranbrook Public Library, and seniors’ facilities.

Guns, guns and more guns

t’s only human nature to want to take action after such a harrowing traumatic event. To do something. Anything, to protect our kids. And make sure that Newtown never ever happens again. Here.

There. Anywhere.

But while the rest of the nation grieves, familiar opponents on The Gun Issue are focused more on making sure their groups’ messages don’t get trampled in the anticipated tsunami of sorrow.

So they preemptively are trying to drown out each other with battalions of bellicose bullhorns, and it doesn’t matter they can’t hear each other because neither side is listening anyway.

That’s the crossroads at which we find ourselves. Again. The intersection of Guns, Guns and Guns. Too many. Too few. Too big. Too small. Too scary looking. Waiting periods. Background checks. Magazine sizes. Access. Transportation. Construction. Registration. Who decides and who abides.

All the old buzz phrases are dusted off.

“When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” “Increased gun control means aiming better.” “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Actually, it’s those darn bullets that puncture the skin and

bones, creating holes for the blood to leak out of way too fast.

The NRA is busy pumping out press releases arguing that if the teachers had been armed, this tragedy could have been averted. Yeah, there you go. That’s what we need. MORE guns in schools. The major problem with school shootings, are schools. There’s your anRAGING MODERATE swer, boys. Want to cut down on school shootings, Will get rid of the schools. A soluDurst tion many states are busy implementing as we speak.

Besides, why just arm the teachers? Aren’t we forgetting about our kids? Surely they have the right to defend themselves. The only question is where do you draw the line? Middle school? Fourth grade? Does the Second Amendment guarantee the rights of Toting Toddlers?

Should kid-proof trigger guards be illegal?

Maybe get Fisher Price to equip classrooms with plastic Day-Glo under-desk holsters.

The left is also once again questioning whether military-type assault weapons have a place in today’s society. To which the right vehemently argues semantics.

“Semi- automatic rifles aren’t assault weapons and the left obviously has no experience with guns or they wouldn’t misla-

bel them and their ignorance on the subject disqualifies them to comment or have any opinion whatsoever.” Known in gun control circles as the “neener neener” argument.

An argument that totally misses the point. Doesn’t matter what you call them.

Semi-automatic rifles. Military-type horizontal handheld ordnance. Futuristic flintlocks. Agitation resolvers. Magic wands.

Disputatious caramelized pump-action fruit rolls. Stick a feather in their muzzle and call them macaroni if you want.

The basic problem is, the only reason to own a macaroni that can fire hundreds of pieces of lead faster than the speed of sound in mere seconds is to kill PEOPLE. Yes, of course they can be used as legitimate hunting rifles. You can also use a flame thrower to light a cigarette. If you think about it, a hand grenade will signal the end of recess. Need to cut some butter, just pull out the trusty old chainsaw. Of course, be prepared for it to get a little messy around Muffin Time. And right now, we’re smack in the middle of an especially messy Muffin Time.

Natalie MacMaster

Celtic fiddle sensation returning to Cranbrook Townsman Staff

Through and through, let there be no doubt — expert Juno Award-winning fiddler Natalie MacMaster is a Cape Breton Girl, hence her new album is called precisely that — “Cape Breton Girl.” She will be on tour this spring in support of that new release and will make a stop at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on April 10, 2013. She last visited Cranbrook almost five years ago and many of the sold out audience have been asking when the talented musician and step dancer would return to the Key City.

“When an artist such as Natalie is in demand all over the world and is regularly playing venues like Carnegie Hall and Massey Hall, it’s sometimes difficult to put together a tour which spans some smaller venues,” said F.J. Hurtak from the Kootenay Concert Connection. “We were fortunate enough to be able to do that this coming spring and I know there’s a lot of people excited about it, including myself.

“She’s not only a world class musician, but she’s a great person to work with as well.

We are looking forward to the tour.”

It’s MacMaster’s dedicated work ethic that really has seen her accomplish so much: professionally, her three-decade career has watched her amass multiple gold albums, two Grammy nominations and one win, 10 East Coast Music Awards, 8 Canadian Country Music Awards, and she is also a recipient of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honor.

MacMaster has made multiple appearances on the CBC, Canada A.M. and Garrrison Keilor’s A Prairie Home Companion, and warmed TV viewers with guest spots on Christmas specials such as Rita MacNeil’s Christmas, and Holiday Festival on Ice with Olympic ice skaters Jamie Sale, David Pelletier, Kurt Browning, and Jeffrey Buttle.

V Canadian juniors open strong with 9-3 win over Germany 250.426.5201

DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

UFA, Russia—The black cape draped over the shoulders of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was a statement about the expectations on Canada’s captain at the world junior hockey championship.

The Canadian coaching staff will hand out the cape after each game of the tournament to the player who distinguishes himself.

A five-point game by Nugent-Hopkins in Canada’s 9-3 win over Germany on Wednesday was more than enough to make him the first recipient.

“You need heroic plays in an event like this,’’ Canadian head coach Steve Spott explained to reporters following the game.

“Game pucks, hard helmets they’ve all been done, but we thought the cape was something unique and embarrasses them a little when they have to come out and face you guys.

“It could be a save or

a blocked shot, but I thought tonight it was fitting. He had a great game and is the leader of our club.’’

Nugent-Hopkins led Canada with a goal and four assists while showcasing his playmaking abilities, albeit against a country that had virtually no chance of beating the Canadians.

The spotlight is on the Canadian team’s lone NHLer in a season where that league has locked out its players, and thus made the Edmonton Oilers forward available for the competition.

“I think no matter where you go there’s going to be pressure and expectations,’’ Nugent-Hopkins said.

“Being from Canada, there’s a lot of pressure and we’re going to put that pressure on ourselves too and each other.’’

Linemates Mark Scheifele scored twice, including a short-handed goal, and Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and two assists. That

trio of players likely would have played in the NHL this season if not for the lockout.

“All three of those players have an NHL mindset and NHL abilities,’’ Spott said.

Nugent-Hopkins has already played a season for the Oilers. Scheifele is a Winnipeg Jets prospect and Huberdeau is Florida Panthers property.

Ty Rattie, Ryan Strome, Jonathan Drouin and defencemen Xavier Ouellet and Tyler Wotherspoon had the other goals for Canada.

Goaltender Malcolm Subban stopped 25 shots for the win. Spott said the Belleville Bulls netminder will face Slovakia on Friday and indicated Subban will be the No. 1 goalie for the tournament.

“Our plan is to run with Malcolm,’’ the coach said.

Germany has six Canadian Hockey League players on its roster, including Tobias Rieder, who plays for Spott and

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with Canadian defenceman Ryan Murphy on the Kitchener Rangers.

Rieder, Leonhard Pfoderl and Nickolas Latta scored for Germany, while Elmar Trautmann made 37 saves before 3,618 fans at the 8,250-seat Ufa Arena.

Spott combined Nugent-Hopkins, Scheifele and Huberdeau for the first skate of selection camp Dec. 11, even though Scheifele is a natural centre converting to right wing for Canada.

Prior to the tournament opener, their game time together was limited to one intra-squad game at selection camp in Calgary and one of two exhibition contests in Finland.

Spott rested the

HOME GAMES

three for two exhibition games against university players at the selection camp. Huberdeau sat out Canada’s pre-tournament game against host Finland last week to serve the final game of a CHL suspension.

“It definitely takes a couple games to get used to your linemates and get the chemistry, but I thought tonight we were working well together,’’ Nugent-Hopkins said. “It felt like we knew where each other

was out there.’’

Scheifele said the three players spoke prior to the game about living up to their billing.

“Right after our stretch we all came together and we were like ‘You know this is a big game and we’ve got to show our leadership qualities. We’ve got to show we’re a line to be reckoned with,’ ‘’ he said. “I think we definitely did that and we’ve got to build that chemistry more and more.’’

Spott is banking on Scheifele settling in on the wing. A powerful top line creates chances for No. 2 centre Strome and wingers Drouin and Brett Ritchie.

“The Strome line could be the subplot of this tournament,’’ Spott said. “You have to put your best checking line against (the Nugent-Hopkins line) and your top two defencemen because they’re so dynamic. It should open up ice for the players below.’”

Veterans and rookies named to NFL Pro Bowl BARRY WILNER Associated Press

Sensational comebacks have Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson headed for the Pro Bowl.

Also selected Wednesday to the NFL’s all-star game was Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III. Manning missed all of the 2011 season with neck and back problems that required several operations. He then signed with Denver as a free agent and has led the Broncos on a 10-game winning streak to take the AFC West.

“I know there’s great players out there in the NFL, but there’s some great players on this team this year that deserve to go,’’ said Manning, who ranks fourth in league passing, has thrown 34 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Four other Broncos made the AFC roster: DE Elvis Dumervil, linebacker Von Miller, CB Champ Bailey and tackle Ryan Clady.

Minnesota’s Peterson tore up his left knee on Christmas Eve last year, underwent major surgery, then was back for the season opener. He’s gone from uncertain to

unstoppable, running away with the rushing title with a career-high 1,898 yards and lifting the Vikings toward an NFC wild card.

“Coming into the season after going through the rehab process, I just told myself that I wanted to lead my team to a championship and make sure that I contribute and do my part,’’ Peterson said.

“I’ve been doing it.’’

San Francisco had the most players selected, nine, including six from its second-ranked defence. Houston was next with eight, six on offence.

NHL lockout shines brighter light on World Juniors

T

he IIHF World Junior Championship is underway, with Canada opening its schedule with a convincing 9-3 win over the Germans in the early hours of Boxing Day morning.

Hockey is back.

Okay, hockey never actually left—see the Kootenay Ice and the Kimberley Dynamiters for more on that—but the NHL lockout has put an even brighter spotlight on the WJC this year.

Even though the tournament has just begun, there are already some controversies.

The biggest storyline, for the Canadian squad, is dealing with the loss of Boone Jenner for a threegame suspension after he levelled Swedish defenceman Jesper Pettersson in an open-ice hit during an exhibition game last Saturday.

“The video material indicated that the hit was late and delivered with no intention to play the puck and with Pettersson being in a vulnerable

position,” said the IIHF in its suspension ruling.

Pettersson looped behind his own net with the puck and passed it across his defensive zone while skating up the ice. Jenner, who was in on the forecheck, cruised in from the blue line and made contact with his shoulder in an open-ice hit inside the face-off circle.

However, the issue isn’t necessarily with the hit in question, it’s the timing of it.

Pettersson had dished off the puck but

Trevor Crawley that didn’t seem to faze Jenner, who came in late and took him down in a spectacular collision that ended up breaking the Swedish defenceman’s wrist and dislocating his shoulder.

One can argue that the hit was dirty, but I don’t think it necessarily

was.

It was definitely late; you can tell Jenner lined Pettersson up as soon as he swung around from behind the net, but I doubt it was malicious with intent to injure.

You have to remember that these guys are wearing the maple leaf on their jerseys and are representing their country in a tournament that is the pinnacle of junior hockey. They’re all jacked up on adrenaline and I believe Jenner just wanted to be physical and make a physical play, but in this case, it was just a poor decision.

The hit, taken in context with the other exhibition games, has illuminated another interesting factor for the Canadian team: the officiating.

The Canadian squad amassed 20 minutes in penalties during it’s exhibition loss to Finland, but has done a better job of staying out of the sin bin since then.

“I think the challenge for us obviously is coming together as a team,” Canadian coach Steve Spott told the Canadian Press after the game last Thursday. “It’s our first

game. But ultimately I think discipline is the subplot here tonight, where we have to get used to the standard of officiating and deal with our discipline a lot smarter than we did tonight.”

European hockey is different from the game in North America—it’s plainly evident all the way up to the professional level. There is much more emphasis on speed and skill than there is on bruising physical play— differences of which Spott is already aware of.

“We know the standards are different over here,” Spott told TSN after the exhibition game against Sweden. “Our players are prepared, but ultimately, in the first two games, I think, as a hockey person, not as Team Canada’s head coach, as a hockey person, I don’t think anyone can argue that the level of officiating in the first two games for all the teams has not been at the level that we’re probably used to and should expect.”

Everyone’s a critic and everyone likes to ride the referees, but

scapegoating the officials is just bad form.

The way the game flows is different over in Europe. When I watch a WHL or NHL game, I expect to see physical bodychecking because that’s the way hockey is played this side of the Atlantic.

However, you can see in international tournaments like the WJC or the Olympics, that the physicality of the game seems to give way to speed and skill.

The challenge then, becomes finding out what Team Canada can get away with while playing a physical game, in terms of what the officials will and won’t whistle down.

So far, it seems as though the team is doing a good job of figuring that out, as they only tallied four minor penalties in their opening round-robin game against the Germans on Wednesday.

The ability to adapt— not necessarily change— their game is what will hopefully put them back on the gold medal podium this year, after three years of coming up short.

Canada opens Spengler Cup with 2-1 loss to Adler Mannheim Mitch Goldenberg Canadian Press

35-1500 Cranbrook St N in the Tamarack Shopping Centre

DAVOS, Switzerland —An opening game loss at the Spengler Cup hasn’t shaken the confidence of Team Canada.

Jason Pominville scored on a breakaway three minutes into overtime Wednesday as Adler Mannheim shocked Canada with a 2-1 victory.

Tyler Seguin scored the lone goal for Canada in the third period as the roster loaded with NHL talent had trouble finding its scoring touch, despite generating plenty of chances.

“There’s no panic in us right now,’’ said Ca-

nadian forward Matt Duchene. “We all think we played a pretty good game, there were lots of bounces and opportunities that we just weren’t able to put in.’’

Pominville, a locked out member of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, ripped a low shot past Canadian goalie Jonathan Bernier to give the top team in the German league a surprising victory.

“I know Bernier a little bit, so there was a lot of mind playing going on in the moment,’’ said Pominville after the game. “I’m just glad it went in to get the big victory for our team.’’

First played in 1923, the Spengler Cup annually pits Davos and Canada against four European club teams in a six-day tournament in Switzerland.

Dennis Endras made 34 saves for Mannheim, including a breakaway stop on Patrice Bergeron moments before Pominville’s winner. ``You can’t expect to win against Team Canada in the Spengler Cup,’’ said Endras. ``All of us battled hard for 60 minutes, we blocked a lot of shots to prevent their chances and it’s just awesome to get the points.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use the morning for an important talk or meeting. By midafternoon, you could be conflicted or irritated about a situation. Your mood flows into other dealings.

Take your time and process the irritation first, then deal with others. Tonight: Mosey on home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taking a hard look at recent expenditures might be more necessary than you think. Do not let someone’s opinion trigger an argument -- just let it go. You know what you want. Do not stand on ceremony. Pick up the phone and call a friend. Tonight: Secure New Year’s plans.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are full of energy and could be difficult to find, according to more than a few people. It seems as if you flee the scene with an adeptness and quickness that surprises many. Make plans, if you can, for a short trip with some good friends. Tonight: Treat yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make it OK to move slowly in the morning. Accept and understand what you have been through as of late. Consider your options in the morning, and act in the later part of the afternoon. At the right moment, you will feel alert.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the morning to the max when dealing with others. People will tend to be more responsive then. You actually might decide to keep to yourself in the afternoon. Avoid an argument with a favorite person. Patching this up could be difficult. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Rethink a decision more carefully. Take your time. In the afternoon, test out your conclusion.

You might be causing yourself a problem if you move ahead blindly. Look to friends and loved ones for their advice and feedback. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your mind drifts to matters be-

For Better or Worse

Garfield

yond the here-and-now. What will it take to anchor you? A boss or key associate needs your time and attention later in the day. Do whatever you need to do in order to stay present. Tonight: Once you let go of the day’s issues, the night becomes fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Deal with someone or several different people on a one-onone level. Rethink a personal matter more carefully. Laughter surrounds you later in the day when you relax. Once you detach, you’ll see humor in what was once difficult. Tonight: Try a new pastime.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up in the morning. A discussion could be quite animated with hostility or aggressiveness.

You might not be up for an argument, but you will need to establish boundaries regardless. In the afternoon, clear the air. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might find yourself caught in a financial quandary. For some, this scenario might include trying to make ends meet. For

others, it might involve returning useless gifts. Take time for someone who needs an upbeat message. Tonight: Be open to a suggestion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might surprise yourself with the feisty words that come out of your mouth. You have swallowed a lot of anger lately. Perhaps the time has come to process these feelings. Everyone involved would prefer a discussion rather than sarcastic jabs. Tonight: The unexpected occurs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your ingenuity could face a problem. The issue will keep rearing its ugly head until you face facts and open up a discussion. You’ll decide to let go and indulge in some playfulness. Tonight: Buy yourself that item you wanted but didn’t get.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My friend “Rachel” is very dear to me. We’ve been best friends since the 11th grade. Now that we’ve entered the adult world, however, she’s encountered some difficult situations. She had a drug problem, has always had family problems, lost her license, owes back taxes and has been unemployed for a year.

Rachel has two male roommates who I’m pretty sure were recently homeless.

She feeds them and cleans up after them.

She has always had an extraordinarily generous heart, and while I admire this, I can’t help feeling a little concerned. Not only are these men taking advantage of Rachel, but they aren’t very clean, and they cough all over everything. They have a dog who hasn’t been bathed in some time, but is eager to give kisses. Rachel allows this dog to lick up leftovers from dinner, and the plates are left in the sink for days before she washes them.

Am I simply being too judgmental about her living situation, or am I right to worry about her health? Another friend mentioned that she confronted Rachel about her two roommates, and Rachel became defensive and angry. How can I approach her about this? I find myself not wanting to step foot in her house again. -- Worried and Confused in California Dear Worried: As long as the dishes are eventually washed with soap and water, it doesn’t matter that the dog licked them and they are piled in the sink. And if Rachel likes to feed and clean up after her roommates, that is her choice. The coughing is an issue only if it is causing Rachel to become ill.

(And if there is a possibility of pneumonia or TB, we hope the roommates have been checked.)

But it seems to us that Rachel is at loose ends and is possibly using her caregiving skills as a means to avoid finding a job. You can express your concern and suggest she talk to a professional, but beyond that, she has to steer her own course.

Dear Annie: We are very private people and do not have, nor do we want, a Facebook account. Our friend knows this, but when we sent her a picture of our newest grandchild via e-mail, she posted this picture with full details on her Facebook page without our permission.

We didn’t say anything to her, but of course, we no longer send her any photographs. Please tell your readers that posting such things without permission is a violation of someone’s trust in you. Do you agree? -Not a Facebook Fan Dear Not: Yes -- and no. Many people don’t mind and don’t care. The fact that your friend knows you don’t have a Facebook account doesn’t mean she has any idea that you object to her posting your grandchild’s photograph. She may have thought she was doing you a favor. Please don’t be silent. Tell her you would appreciate it if she would remove the photo immediately and not post any others without permission.

Dear Annie: “Disappointed in Ohio” complained that the husband of one of her friends kept attending their regular all-girl get-togethers. You printed a response from “Omaha,” who said that she and her friends have been having lunch for several years.

Since one of their friends has Alzheimer’s, her husband brings her to the luncheon and stays to enjoy lunch with the ladies. “Omaha” said they enjoy his company, and when his wife can no longer attend, they will still invite him.

I want to say hats off to those ladies for including their friend, despite the fact that she has Alzheimer’s, and for their willingness to include her husband. This speaks volumes for the kind of friends they are. And hats off to the husband for going the extra mile to make sure his wife doesn’t miss out on social gatherings. “Omaha” really touched my heart. -- Minot, N.D.

Obituaries

Mom was born in New Westminster on April 17, 1933 and worked as a telephone operator after graduating from high school. She later went on to work as a book binder. Mom loved to go camping; she was the one who taught us how to fish. She also loved crochet and many kitchens boast of her colourful dish cloths. Although our brother Jim predeceased her by 31 years, Momâ&#x20AC;ŚGrammaâ&#x20AC;ŚGGâ&#x20AC;Ś always put the sunshine in the lives of her children, Aileen Boyd (Duff), John Campbell, grandchildren, Tara Hill (Mike), Cheryl Hill, Taryn Boyd, Kathryn Boyd and great grandchildren, Natalia and Merrick.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the SPCA as Mom always loved the visits to Garden View. Cranbrook branch of the SPCA, 3339 Highways 3 & 95 Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6, (250) 426-6751.

Thank you to the amazing staff of Garden View, Mom loved living there and it was because of you.

An opening reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 12, to which everyone is invited.

Tai Chi

Fiddle sensation returning to Cranbrook Continued from page 7 MacMaster’s talents have also been in demand by her peers, contributing to albums by Yo Yo Mah, The Chieftans, Alison Krauss, former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald and most recently, Thomas Dolby’s new album “Map of the Floating City.”

MacMaster is now an author as well, co-writing, and publishing the picturesque 161 page coffee table book, Cape Breton Aire with Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith Eileen McNamara, and Eric Roth’s breathtaking photography.

Family has reinvigorated Natlie MacMaster’s commitment to the stage and her audience.

“I like being on stage even more” said the mother of four and wife of fiddle phenom, Donnell Leahy. “When I appear onstage, that’s my departure from Momhood — and I transform into Natalie MacMaster: the entertainer, the fiddler, the performer. I relish that now more than ever.”

As do her audiences, who are left clapping, hollering, and screaming for more as MacMaster and her band wow them with stylistic diversity each and every performance.

Tickets for the Natalie MacMaster “Cape Bret-

on Girl Tour” in Cranbrook,April 10, are on sale at the Key City Theatre box office. All seats are reserved and priced at $46 including all taxes and service charges.
