‘Speak for all of us’ Cranbrook councillor calls for more discussion on how the city’s representatives vote at the regional district board SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Councillor Angus Davis wants council to have more say on how Cranbrook’s representatives vote at the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors.

Coun. Davis made a motion

at the January 21 meeting that the two council members who sit at the regional board consult with the rest of council on “topics which are of significant interest locally” before they vote, read the motion.

PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CHAMPIONS: More than 50 young students from elementary schools around Cranbrook hit the ice at the Cranbrook Curling Club Monday for introductory curling lessons, led by Coach Leslie Weaver and assisted by adult volunteers. Day 1 featured getting comfortable with the slider on the ice, and getting a feel for sliding out of the hack, as well as basic terminology. The sessions run Mondays over the next few weeks, and the city-wide elementary school activity was spearheaded by Steve Lightfoot, Principal of Amy Woodland School.

Nicholas Bullock continued his quest to have charges he is facing in Cranbrook waved to Port Coquitlam in Cranbrook Provincial Court Monday.

Bullock, 26, is charged with robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in connection with a carjacking outside of Creston that ended in a police-involved shooting in Cranbrook.

Appearing by video from a detention facility, Bullock told Judge Grant Sheard that he would like the charges waived to Port Coquitlam, and that his lawyer had been in conversations with Crown counsel there, who are in favour of the move.

But Cranbrook Crown counsel Lianna Swanson told court that no application had been received here, nor had

the Port Coquitlam-based lawyer for Bullock reached out to local Crown counsel to move the charges almost 1,000 kilometres from where the incident occurred in October.

Swanson also told Sheard that the Crown in Cranbrook is opposed to the move.

Bullock said he doesn’t understand why the charges can’t be moved to the coastal city, because his co-accused had hers waived in late 2012. Bullock’s co-accused is a female youth who was released into the custody of her mother after the incident.

With the issue unresolved, Bullock asked Sheard to put his case over longer than a few weeks, informing court that he only has a few hours a day due to a supervision program he is under. Sheard agreed, and put the matter over to March 4 by video so that Bullock could further discuss waiving his charges to Port Coquitlam with his lawyer there.

Ducks Unlimited, CBT complete Elizabeth Lake rebuild project B a r ry Co u lt e r

A Cranbrook landmark, which happens to be one of the province’s oldest conservation projects, has undergone a rejuvenation thanks to Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

The two organizations worked together to bebuild the water control structures at Elizabeth Lake, on the edge of Cranbrook, which means a more healthy marsh and excellent wildlife habitat.

The six-hectare Elizabeth Lake Park is a wildlife reserve on a migratory bird flight path. Every year the wetlands and lake become a nesting and feeding grounds for many different species.

“Before the initial enhancement work nearly 30 years ago, the wetland was overgrown with bulrush and was at risk of being drained and encroaching urban development,” said Brad Arner, manager of provincial operations for B.C. “Because the original structures were starting to

deteriorate, this rebuild was needed to eliminate those risks and to ensure this important waterfowl habitat was not lost.”

The rebuild of Elizabeth Lake’s water controls will allow the area to continue as both excellent wildlife habitat, and a recreational and educational resource for the city of Cranbrook and surrounding communities for another 30 years. DUC did most of the groundwork, with financial support from CBT. DUC also received funding from B.C.’s Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation for this project.

“A new water control system will help maintain the lake’s ecological integrity for decades to come,” said Rick Allen, CBT program manager, environment.

CBT supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about CBT programs and initiatives, visit www.cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

Condo fire suspects arrested Nicole Trigg Invermere Valley Echo

Arson charges have been laid in relation the suspicious fire that destroyed three partially built condominium buildings at Columbia Eagle Resort in Fairmont Hot Springs on December 22, 2012.

As of January 17, a 20-year-old female from Fairmont Hot Springs and a 25-year-old male from Invermere

have been arrested and charges are being forwarded to Crown Counsel.

The fire, which lasted three hours, caused damages estimated to be between $1.5 million and $2 million.

The two suspects were identified as the result of an ongoing arson investigation, which also determined that the owners had no insurance and that the buildings had no electrical or water services.

Councillor uncomfortable with RDEK votes Continued from page 1

Council eventually agreed to defer the motion until Mayor Wayne Stetski returns from vacation later this month.

However, it did spark lively debate about the role of council on the regional board.

The RDEK board of directors is made up of 15 elected officials – six area directors and nine from municipalities. As the largest municipality, Cranbrook has two seats at the board, filled by Mayor Stetski and Coun.

Bob Whetham.

Coun. Davis said he has been “caught flat-footed” on two occasions recently after reading, in the Townsman, comments made

by Stetski or Whetham at the board about infra-

structure funding, and Jumbo Glacier Resort.

“It puts me on the spot when I read in the paper of a certain stance that has been taken on issues that are said on behalf of the City of Cranbrook and on which the rest of the council of the City of Cranbrook has had no input. It’s a deep concern to me,” said Davis.

In the motion, Davis suggested council initate a consultative process to discuss significant issues.

But Coun. Whetham said that would be impractical when the RDEK board agenda is released five days prior to the meeting, and one section alone contains 75 pages of material.

“You have a free election, you elect people, and to a certain degree, you trust them to make decisions for you” Coun. Gerry Warner “The issue of trying to bring things to council is a difficult one,” said Whetham.

Coun. Gerry Warner said that he is concerned that Davis’s motion is undemocratic.

“You have a free election, you elect people, and to a certain degree, you trust them to make decisions for you.

Sometimes they will

make decisions you agree with and sometimes they’ll make ones you don’t agree with,” said Warner.

“We trust the two people who go to the RDEK meetings to advocate on our behalf.”

Coun. Diana J. Scott said that on the regional district board, Cranbrook’s representatives are expected to make decisions on a regional basis, rather than from the city’s perspective.

“My understanding is you are not necessarily advocating for the city position – you are there as part of a regional board trying to make the best decision regionally,” she said, adding that board members should be free to change their vote if the discussion

has swayed them.

However, she agreed that it was worth council discussing its role on the regional board.

“I definitely think we should have input. I’d like to have a discussion on how we as councillors feel about issues and pass it on for our representatives to vote on,” said Coun. Scott.

Coun.

Denise Pallesen suggested that the motion be deferred until the next council meeting on February 4, when Mayor Stetski will be back at the helm.

Councillor Sharon Cross was Acting Mayor for Monday’s council meeting.

Candidates cite personal reasons as they quit south Okanagan riding Canadian Press

There’s more political upheaval in the south Okanagan riding of Boundary-Similkameen, where John Slater was turfed as the Liberal candidate earlier this month.

He was going to run as an independent in the May election, but announced today he won’t be running at all,

and took a swipe at the Liberals for what he called ``the politics of personal destruction’’.

Within an hour of his announcement, his N-D-P rival in the riding, Marji Basso, also announced she was dropping out as a candidate.

She cited personal reasons for her decision.

Flu cases on the rise

Take your cue from the Tragically Hip — shop local.

The members of the renowned Canadian rock band, who kicked off their nationwide tour in Saturday in Cranbrook, hit town a day or two earlier, it seems. One of them, drummer Johnny Fay checked out the local purveyors of fine musical instruments, getting some supplies for the coming tour.

“Johnny Fay came in to buy some heads, said hello,” said Keon Chung,

one of the owners of Just Music on Baker Street and a drummer himself.

“He was with his drum tech. He’s from Ontario, I’m (originally) from Ontario, so we chatted for a bit.”

Keon’s young son Jagur had a better story. He was setting up a drum kit on the store floor when Fay came in. The two talked drums for a bit, and jammed on the kit, before Keon came out to see what was going on.

Always nice for up and coming drummers to have a brush with rock prominence.

The Fraser Health Authority is handing out flu shots or masks to hospital and long-term care centre visitors to deal with an influx of influenza cases.

While Interior Health has not seen the same level of illness, they are having a higher than normal season.

The provincial government has put out a fact sheet covering how to prevent the flu, and how to protect yourself and others when you come down with it.

The fact sheet is like music to the ears of those battling the seasonal flu: the number one tip they offer is for patients to stay home and rest to prevent spreading germs and to help you recover.

The province is seeing cases of regular influenza and norovirus, which are two different, shortlived flus.

Influenza is a respiratory illness that affects the nose, throat and lungs. The symptoms are fever, chills, cough, sore throat,

muscle aches, pain and headaches – it’s an illness that everyone at one time or another experiences.

But for some, getting influenza can be very serious, and it can have life-threatening complications for the elderly, chronically ill, those with compromised immune systems and very young people. Severe illness can develop in those patients, and even death can result.

Norovirus is a 24 to 48 hour gastrointestinal illness that has no relation to influenza.

It causes stomach pains, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It rarely causes serious illness or complications.

Another difference is that influenza can be prevented by getting a flu shot.

At the Fraser Health Authority, all visitors to long term care facilities are being asked to wear masks if they do not have a flu shot, or being offered one on the spot.

It takes two weeks for the vac-

cine to begin working. The province is reminding residents that it is not too late to get the shot.

To decrease your risk of getting sick, wash your hands several times a day, and always after using the washroom.

The ministry suggests using warm water and soap, and scrubbing your hands for at least 30 seconds.

You can also use alcohol-based hand rubs, which are available at drugstores and are placed at hospitals and long-term care facilities in the province.

If you have any questions, call 811 to speak with a nurse in the province 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The ministry asks that those with influenza not go to the emergency room, because most cases of the seasonal flu do not need a doctor’s visit.

However if your flu progresses and you experience difficulty breathing or other signs of severe illness, do seek medical attention.

Kimberley Chamber mull KIOTAC loss C AROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin

The Kimberley and District Chamber of Commerce is looking at life after KIOTAC and don’t much like the view.

While Chamber President Darren Close says it was perhaps inevitable that the venerable festival would eventually end just given demographics, it was still a shock to see it end so abruptly.

“I appreciate and understand why they withdrew,” Close said.

“But it was hugely important for businesses and it leaves a big hole.”’

It’s a hole that has to be filled in some way, Close says, though what the solution may be hasn’t been entirely thought out yet.

The Know It All is following our local arts scene.

One thing the Chamber believes could help is a city-sponsored Event Coordinator.

“Our business leaders have voiced a need for a City of Kimberley Event Coordinator, an expert of the festival and event process,” Close wrote in a letter to Kimberley City Council.

“Festivals bring not only economic growth to our city but awareness of the vast ameni-

ties Kimberley has to offer. The Chamber membership would be keen to support an Event coordinator.”

Close is hopeful the City will consider the request. He also hopes the City will work with the Chamber on coming up with something to replace KIOTAC, though he grants it may never be possible to duplicate its success.

“We don’t necessarily

think we can replace KIOTAC but maybe we could grow it into a music festival that includes a KIOTAC component, maybe blues or jazz, a multi-genre event.”

Key to this would be KIOTAC volunteers and board members being willing to mentor a new festiva, Close said.

“This could be an opportunity for KIOTAC to evolve.”

Nationalist leaders of Quebec and Scotland to hold meeting C anadian Press

QUEBEC — The leader of Quebec’s independence movement will meet her Scottish equivalent next week, when Premier Pauline Marois visits Edinburgh.

The Quebec premier will have a meeting with Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond.

The encounter will take place Jan. 29 during Marois’ trip to Europe, where she will also visit London and Davos for the World Economic Forum.

Marois’ office says it will be an opportunity to underscore the parallels between the respective independence movements.

Although the Parti Quebecois and the Scot-

tish National Party have forged ties over the years, it will be the first time their respective leaders meet while in power.

Unlike the Scottish nationalists, the PQ has already held two referendums in failed attempts at independence over the years and has set no timetable for a third such vote.

The SNP, on the other hand, is now planning to hold its first such referendum after being elected with a majority government for the first time since the creation of the modern Scottish parliament.

Their movements do share something in common: less-than-favourable polls.

A steady stream of surveys pegs support for Scottish independence at levels that suggest it might be hard to achieve when the referendum takes place in the fall of 2014.

Scotland has many powers, including jurisdiction over education, health, law and local government. But there are several areas — including economic policy — where it is dependent on decisions made in London.

Many Scots have long contended that revenues from North Sea oil should stay in Scotland, a situation they say would increase wealth in the country of slightly more than five million people.

Price Gouging?

Act of Kindness I would like to share with the residents of our great city the acts of human kindness that go unnoticed but certainly need to be pointed out.

On a very cold Saturday morning a young couple with a one-year-old child were traveling to Vancouver from Fernie when they stopped at the Tim Hortons for a coffee and warm up. As I spoke with this couple they informed me of problems they were having with their car. Mr. Fred Bardell happened to overhear this conversation and offered his shop to this young couple to repair the car and complete the trip. Fred, you have shown the spirit and consideration of the residents of our city and for this I thank you. I am sure that the young couple, through your

act of kindness, will have nothing but great news to spread about help received.

Wiser Course Dear Editor. In his article “What we can say & cannot say about God” (Townsman Jan.11, 2013) Reverend Yme Woensdregt contends that, even if we knew about God and God’s nature and purposes, if any, we are utterly incapable of expressing our thoughts; human language and understanding are too limited. He then goes on to say “we can’t simply remain silent.”

Although we are bound to speculate and although the lack of knowledge on this subject would free us to say whatever we wish without fear of being proven wrong, perhaps the wiser course would be to say nothing.

Smart meter deniers’ last stand

T

he news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters.

Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused.

Now BC Hydro has sent letters informing them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.”

“StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office.

“Anger and outrage should be expressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonymous e-mail helpfully suggests.

BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous growop bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters.

The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished.

False news reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially.

Another popular myth is increased electricity BC Views bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go Tom up. Like gas pumps, power Fletcher meters are required by federal law to be accurate.

Which brings us back to Team Tinfoil, which has been sold a cascading series of fantastic tales about the effect of wireless signals that are already ever-present in all modern communities.

A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” headon. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at www.badsciencewatch.ca.

In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward.

It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda

I write this with the goal of having the oil companies review their pricing policies for Cranbrook.

In January on a trip to Calgary we had cause to purchase gasoline at their local gas stations, and the cost was 94.9 cents per litre. On arrival back in Cranbrook that evening we had to fuel up and the cost here was 120.9 cents per litre — a mere 26 cents a litre more, which seems to be a little excessive considering the following.

Taxes in Alberta are 20.00 cents a litre.

In B.C. taxes 31.56 cents a litre. A typical fuel tanker can transport 57,000 litres of gas.

Taking the difference in the provincial taxes, it still leaves an additional 14.4 cents a litre more than in Calgary. This computes to an additional $8,230.80 per truck load. Surely it doesn’t cost this to transport the fuel from Calgary to Cranbrook. One must assume that the same profit margin would be reasonable for the oil companies, be it in Calgary or Cranbrook. This leads to the burning question: why aren’t some of our community leaders not taking these compa-

Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t.

Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president.

Then there’s “entrepreneur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.)

As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desperate bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing.

There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

S

uffice to say the reviews of Lance Armstrong’s performance on Oprah were not good. Commentators debated whether it was more accurate to describe him as a sociopath or a psychopath. Arrogant, smug, evasive, he was all these things, it was said, and less.

All this, after an interview in which he admitted most of the major charges against him: that he had cheated his way to seven Tour de France victories, lied about it for years, then harassed and bullied those who called him out. I don’t mean to say he laid himself completely bare: on several points he fudged, or refused to answer, as if an invisible lawyer were whispering in his ear, warning of the lawsuits and investigations to come.

But by the standards we have come to expect in these things it was relatively candid, blessedly free of self-pity. He’d told a lot of lies. Now he was telling the truth. Yet if he was expecting this confession to stanch the flow of vitriol, it appeared to have the opposite effect.

Because if there is one thing we expect of professional cyclists, it is that they will compete fairly and stay clear of drugs. And if there is one thing we expect, no demand of our public figures, it is that they will tell the truth.

Oh really. Listening to all this high dudgeon, I was carried back to last September’s Democratic convention, and the rapturous reception given to Bill Clinton, the former president and noted perjurist in the matter of Jones v Clinton.

That may have been the most famous of his lies, but it was hardly the first. Clinton was well known as a liar — an “unusually good” one, according to Bob Kerrey, the former senator — long before he ever reached the White House. As early as 1992, the question posed by his candidacy, as defined by Michael Kinsley, was not is he a liar, ``but is he too much of a liar?” By the end the lies and abuses of power had piled

up so high that Christopher Hitchens was forced to title his scathing account of the Clinton presidency No One Left To Lie To. To be sure, this was very nearly his undoing at the time. But in the years since the impeachment drama, he has paid no price of consequence, beyond the temporary suspension of his membership in the Arkansas Bar Andrew Association. His books are Coyne best-sellers. His speeches pay six figures. He has become a revered figure in some circles, even as the word “Clintonian” has entered the language to describe an answer so precisely framed as to allow a claim of factual accuracy, while remaining fundamentally misleading.

Talking of Brian Mulroney, he, too, is having a lovely time of it, is he not? Never known for his excessive devotion to the truth — “In office,” wrote Mordecai Richler, “Mulroney lied regularly, even when it wasn’t necessary, just to keep in shape” the former prime minister only really hit his stride after he left office. I speak, of course, of his clandestine receipt of $300,000 in cash from the international arms dealer, convicted fraud and self-confessed briber of politicians, Karlheinz Schreiber.

Mulroney has never adequately explained any of this business — what he did for the money; why he took it in cash; why he kept it in cash; why he did not declare it on his income taxes until years later; why the whole business was conducted without invoices, receipts, expenses or paper trail of any kind etc. etc. etc. — and each time he has been obliged to try has left more people convinced he was lying.

These eventually came to include the judge appointed to conduct an inquiry into the affair, Jeffrey Oliphant. Not only did he find Mulroney had given misleading testimony in deposition for his celebrated libel case against the government of Canada — wherein he claimed he “had never had any dealings” with Schreiber, beyond “a cup of coffee ... once or twice” — but that he had

done the same at multiple points in his appearance before the inquiry.

Again and again, Oliphant’s report dismisses Mulroney’s testimony as literally unbelievable. “I must view with scepticism Mr. Mulroney’s claim... (I) question seriously the credibility of Mr. Mulroney’s testimony... ‚ I found Mr. Mulroney’s evidence on this issue to be troubling at best and, at worst, not worthy of any credence... ” And so on.

This is the former prime minister of Canada, testifying in a judicial proceeding, on the issue of his financial relationship with a man who had been in and out of his office as an unregistered lobbyist while he was prime minister and who had been paid $20-million in secret and illegal commissions by a European aircraft manufacturer for the sale of planes to Air Canada. And what have been the consequences of his repeated untruthfulness? None that I can see.

As Maclean’s describes it in its current issue (“He’s Back”), Mulroney is on a roll, féted as a statesman, in demand as a speaker, a member of several prestigious boards of directors and partner in a law firm.

They’re even naming halls after him.

Throughout, Mulroney is lauded for his charm, his magnetism, even his “aura.” It all sounds eerily like Clinton, to whom he is explicitly compared.

So let us drop the pretense that we’re all so scandalized by Armstrong because he lied. Granted, he lied about cycling, rather than mere financial dealings or affairs of state. But the reason he is in such obloquy, and Clinton and Mulroney are not, is not because his lies were worse, but because he’s not as good at it: because he is not as charming — shall we say manipulative? — as they. Frankly, when it comes to conning the public, he is not in their league.

Anyone can pull a con like Armstrong’s.

You just lie and keep on lying until someone catches you. It takes a master to keep the con going even after you’ve been caught.

The only thing stopping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is approval by NBA owners.

The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday morning. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors.

A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen’s group will buy 65 per cent of the franchise for US$525 million, move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was waiting approval.

The sale figure is a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees.

Hansen’s group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors.

The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-re-

fundable down payment by Feb. 1, according to the deal, one person said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale.

The plan by Hansen’s group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1.

“We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our team members. We would also like to thank Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise,” Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family.

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said last week he had received permission from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to league owners from buyers who would keep the Kings in Sacramento.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice front line duo lighting up the scoreboard TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s not quite Sedinery, but it’s close.

Before every WHL game, either home or away, Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau can be seen skating in an oval between the red and blue lines, passing a puck back and forth during the warmup.

Observers can count on watching saucer feeds, no-look passes behind the back and sharp, crisp bullets from opposite ends of the sideboards.

And always tape to tape.

It’s a ritual that started last year in the preseason when the two players needed some-

thing to do to keep them busy during a pre-game warmup.

“There was a lot of standing around time if you’re not skating around doing something with a partner, so we just decided to start passing with each other,” said Reinhart.

“We were both standing there, had nothing to do, so we just started passing the puck and now we’ve done it for the last two years and I guess we’ll continue on,” added Descheneau.

They’ve managed to get paired together on the first line this season, which has reaped huge rewards for them individually and for the

team.

“I think they see the game very similar,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “They like to play at a high pace. They read really well off each other in give-and-go situations and I think that’s why they have so much chemistry right now and obviously, we’d like them to keep it.”

“Part of their chemistry is their work ethic.

They work extremely hard together and they like to play fast.”

That chemistry has turned up some impressive numbers for both lately, as the two are riding a ten-game point streak—Reinhart with 17, while Descheneau

“Part of their chemistry is their work ethic. They work extremely hard together and they like to play fast.

Ryan McGill has 15.

Reinhart, 17, burst onto the WHL scene for his first full season last year, setting a Kootenay Ice franchise record for points in a rookie campaign, with 62.

Descheneau, also 17, tallied 14 points over 54 games last year, but has been much more prolific this season, exceed-

ing his rookie point total over the last ten games.

Look at the scoresheets over the last dozen games, and you’ll find Descheneau’s name among the assists when Reinhart scores, and vice versa.

“We definitely find each other nicely on the ice,” said Reinhart. “We definitely know where each other is going, so it’s nice and when the team is playing this good all around, it makes it easier on individuals as well.”

“It’s easy to play with him,” said Descheneau, in regard to Reinhart.

“He knows how to get to open spaces and all that stuff, he goes to the net, he’s good in the corners,

he’s good at passing the puck and everything.”

Descheneau started the season on the second line playing alongside Luke Philp, while Reinhart, Brock Montgomery and Erik Benoit led the attack as the first line.

However, McGill decided to change things up.

“Jaedon’s a smart player and I thought the way Jaedon meshed a little with Luke Philp—I thought he could do the same thing with Sam,” McGill said.

“I thought also that Monty [Montgomery] would be a good fit for Philp, so it was a good switch for both of them and it’s been very good

for both players.”

The individual success is also translating into team success, as the Ice have won nine games over their tengame point streak, and are now within reach of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Though the two have been on an offensive tear in the stats department, Reinhart is quick to spread the credit around the rest of the team for their recent success.

“Everyone’s playing to the best of their ability right now and it’s really showing on the scoreboard, so it’s really a team effort that’s enabled us to do so well,” Reinhart said.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 20-something children attend school in other cities. On occasion, they have asked to bring their current boyfriend or girlfriend home for a visit to meet the family.

The friend then stays in a separate room for a night or two.

The problem is my husband. He gets extremely upset about these visits and accuses me of encouraging immoral behavior. He says that allowing these friends to stay at our house gives tacit approval for them to spend the night away from home. I say it is normal hospitality to open our home to our kids’ friends. Is he being irrational, or am I missing something? -- Conflicted Mother Dear Conflicted: There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child spending the night away from home, and certainly not a 20-something adult. Your husband apparently is convinced that the kids are sneaking around and getting into bed together when you are asleep. But that is ungenerous of him. These friends are guests in your home and should be treated as such. And your husband might keep in mind that should these friends turn out to be his future sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, reacting poorly to them now could set him up for future difficulties.

Dear Annie: May I vent a little about the extended family of a caregiver? My relatives live out of state and rarely visit. This is for them: Please don’t tell the primary caregiver what to do and how to do it. You don’t have all the details, and you do not control every situation. Good caregivers are proactive and vigilant. You are loved, and your opinion matters. But unless you are a medical expert in these areas, please listen rather than resort to preconceived ideas.

When you do visit, don’t say, “I guess you get the day off.” There is never a day off, especially if the loved one is in the hospital or rehab and preparations need to be made for what happens after they are discharged. And while you may think it’s “too early” to discuss assisted living or nursing home care, some of those places have waiting lists. It’s never too early. You may want to have a light, enjoyable visit, but some things still need to be handled, even unpleasant things. Life doesn’t get put on hold simply because you’re in town.

If you want to take over the full-time care, you are more than welcome. Otherwise, please respect the primary caregiver’s role and responsibilities, and keep your interference with the medical providers to a minimum. You have no idea what it is like to have a family plus elderly parents to care for, with all the activities, medical appointments, medications and therapies to coordinate and facilitate. You purposely choose to live states away. Please don’t fly in and out telling me what to do.

Serving as a primary caregiver is an honor and a privilege. It carries with it a tremendous responsibility, as well as accountability and self-sacrifice. I do it out of love, and I want what is best for them. -- Walk a Mile in My Shoes Dear Walk: We have heard this plea many times and know you speak for thousands of devoted caregivers. But we also know that many relatives who live away need to feel as if they are contributing and often react by making demands and trying to take over.

Sometimes, all they need is a task to perform that will make them feel they are needed in a concrete way. We hope that helps.

Dear Annie: Like “Heartbroken Mom in Connecticut,” I, too, left a controlling husband, and it created conflicts at family gatherings. Our solution was to have two birthday parties. My ex could attend one with whomever he wished, and I attended the other.

The grandchildren loved the idea of having two birthday parties. Over time, some of the conflicts lessened, but they never completely stopped. Sometimes they just can’t let go. -Don’t Stress, Celebrate Twice Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

The Tragically Hip

Annalee Grant photos

It was yet another feather in the cap for Cranbrook on Saturday night, as the Key City hosted the Tragically Hip. The band was kicking off its Now For Plan A tour.

The concert was the next major event for Western Financial Place after Bob Dylan in August, and hopefully is a sign of more great music to come.
