“The most important factors for recruiting to rural (areas) are that there is a job for their spouse, that there are good schools and recreation activities for the kids,” said Dr. Yakimov.

Some communities with a physician shortage, such as Nelson, are turning to a walk-in clinic as a solution so that people who are not able to get a family doctor can still receive medical attention without having to go to the hospital.

Doctors who work at a walk-in clinic enjoy benefits that regular

“The most important factors for recruiting to rural (areas) are that there is a job for their spouse, that there are good schools and recreation activities for the kids.”

family physicians do not, Dr. Yakimov said.

“The physicians that work there have a very cushy life. They don’t have to be on call, they don’t have to follow their patients into hospital, they don’t have to be available for their patients. They go and they work whatever their hours are for the day, then they go home and that’s the end of their work day.”

But walk-in clinics “siphon off easy stuff”, Dr. Yakimov said, leaving time-consuming, less lucrative medical problems for the full service family doctors.

“This leads to burnout of the full service family physicians and an inability for them to sustain their income at a level that makes them happy.”

In rural communities, family physicians take turns manning the hospital’s emergency department. Physicians at a walk-in clinic are not required to work at the hospital.

“These guys come in and they don’t work there, and they sit in the community and they take off the easy stuff and they don’t contribute. That causes a loss of morale amongst the physicians working in the community and a lack of cohesion amongst the medical staff,” said Dr. Yakimov.

What’s more, patients who visit a walk-in clinic do not receive the same long-term care that they do from a family doctor.

“That doctor may never have seen you before, may not know anything about you, doesn’t have that sense about you that your family practitioner has about you, who looks at you and knows you’re not well just by looking at you. You don’t get that in a walk-in clinic,” she said.

2013 DS

Local elected officials are worried about people in the community who aren’t able to find a family doctor.

The Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board of directors met with a representative of Interior Health Authority earlier this month to talk about what is being done to recruit family doctors to East Kootenay communities.

During her presentation to the board on Friday, November 1, Dr. Peggy Yakimov began by going over physician vacancies around the region.

Cranbrook is short two family doctors, while two more vacancies have recently be filled. A position in internal medicine has also been filled. However, there is an upcoming vacancy in general surgery, and the regional hospital is short one anesthetist, despite a $100,000 incentive.

There is one vacancy for a family doctor in Kimberley. In Fernie, there is a shortage of a general surgeon. There are no vacancies in Invermere. Like Cranbrook, Creston is short two family doctors.

According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, there are four doctors accepting new patients in Kimberley, but only one in Cranbrook.

Dr. Yakimov explained the various incentives offered by the B.C. Medical Association and the Ministry of Health, including increased fees, an annual flat lump sum payment, locum support so physicians can take time off, continuing medical education support and relocation expenses.

But, Dr. Yakimov said, enticing a doctor to move to a rural community is not usually about

money.

“Those incentives – they are fun, but that’s not what gets them here.

It’s not dollars and that has been very clearly shown,” she said.

Physicians, like many other professionals, seek a work-life balance, she went on.

He encouraged elected officials representing every community in the East Kootenay to look into walkin clinics.

“The reality is, we have to look at other options if the doctors that are currently serving us don’t provide the answers to those problems,” said Kettle.

“We’re talking about the welfare of people who can’t get a doctor and who need one. So I would urge anyone here who has an opportunity to look at options in your community that you do so expeditiously. These people are not being served, and we are not serving them well if we sit back and watch this happen.”

He cautioned Interior Health not to refer to financial pros and cons when talking about health care for people who can’t get a family doctor.

New Email scam hits Cranbrook S a lly Mac D on al d Townsman Staff

There’s a new email scam doing the rounds in Cranbrook.

The local RCMP learnt about it on October 25 and have issued a warning.

A business person told Cranbrook police that they received an email from a couple in

India wanting to rent a venue in Cranbrook.

“The scam involved the victim using the scammer’s credit card, where an amount for the rental and a translator for the couple was to be charged up front on the credit card,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine.

“This was as far as the scam went as the

intended victim felt the intended business practice was suspicious and no crime was committed.”

The pattern is common, he continued. The scam will have the victim, under the guise of a business deal, either cash a cheque or charge a credit card for one reason or another. Then

the scammer will ask the victim to return all or a portion of the withdrawn cash to the scammer.

“This all happens in quick order and on many occasions either

the cheque is no good or the credit card reverses the charges and the victim becomes responsible for the cash which has been withdrawn,” said Cpl. Prefontaine.

“Cranbrook RCMP would like to remind the public to be wary of any requests for business from anyone or any company you do not know, especially if it is received on the inter-

net.”

You can report scams such as this to Cranbrook RCMP at 250489-3471 or through East Kootenay Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222TIPS.

Recruitment for Committees 2014 City of Cranbrook There are several opportunities for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook advisory committees listed below.

SD5 announces new principal, vice-principal appointments Submit ted

Students at Steeples Elementary School in Cranbrook recently welcomed David Martin as temporary principal for the school, the Board of Trustees for School District 5 announced.

Martin was appointed principal by the School District 5 (SD5) Board in late September, following the unexpected medical leave of Steeples’ current principal, Wendy Hogg.

Born in Kimberley, Martin received his Bachelor of Education (with Distinction) from the University of Victoria in 1995 and his Master’s Degree in Administration and Leadership from Gonzaga University in 2008.

Martin started working with SD5 in 1998, following a two-year teaching position in Lillooet, BC. Martin leaves his current post as vice-principal at Laurie Middle School to accept this appointment .

According to SD5 Board chair, Frank

Lento, Martin has previous experience as principal of an elementary school, having served when necessary as acting principal for Pinewood Elementary School in the 2012-13 school year.

“While it’s never ideal to switch principals/vice principals once a school year has begun, sometimes it’s unavoidable” says Lento. “We’re pleased that David was willing to step up as principal for Steeples. His track record in leadership along with his prior experience as acting principal of an elementary school make him an ideal choice.”

Replacing Martin, as acting vice-principal at Laurie Middle School is Jill Carley, who has taught at Laurie since 2004.

Born and raised in Cranbrook, Carley follows in the footsteps of her parents who were both teachers for SD5.

According to Lento, Carley was another

ideal choice. “It was important to the Board that we appoint a teacher from Laurie to act as vice principal. The middle school years can be a real transition for our kids and we didn’t want to add to that challenge by introducing into a leadership position someone the kids didn’t already know. Carley provides the stability we were looking for and she has a track record of taking on leadership roles within the school.”

During her time at Laurie school, Carley has volunteered as athletic director and coach, teacher advisor of the Student Council and the Yearbook and has assisted in the technological professional development of teachers at other schools and the College of the Rockies.

For information on programs or activities at Steeples Elementary or Laurie Middle School please visit the SD5 website at sd5.bc.ca or contact the school directly.

But in the Senate, there is no real accountability. We don’t elect them, therefore they don’t owe us anything.

An elected Senate is the dream, but one of the reasons we have never gone there is the difficult process of deciding how many senators each province or territory would have. Rep by pop would give Ontario a huge numbers advantage in the upper chamber. On the other hand, is it fair for PEI to have as many senators as Ontario? So Senate reform is a thorny issue.

It was suggested to me the other day that we would have just as effective a Senate — if not possibly more effective — if the process was simply open to lottery.

Any Canadian could enter to win say a five-year term as a senator, complete with the big salary and perks. I think we’d have as good a chance of having quality people that way as through the current system, which has produced some not very quality people.

At least it would be sort of democratic.

Which is what our veterans fought for.

Bennett rejects report of ALR demise To m Fle tc her Black Press

VICTORIA – News reports suggesting the B.C. government is considering dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission are not accurate, the minister in charge of the government’s “core review” says.

A plan outlined in documents leaked to the <I>Globe and Mail</I> this week is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside government.”

Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development.

Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the province could be divided into two zones with different processes. But he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve.

Part of the problem

A farmer prepares his field in Delta. Debate has continued for decades about the agricultural land reserve’s function outside B.C.’s main farming regions of the Okanagan and southwest, where development pressure is high. has been a lack of funding to the commission, Bennett said. The current budget adds $4 million to the commission’s budget over three years.

“It’s not all their fault, it’s the way the legislation is written, it’s the way their policies have developed,” Bennett said. “All of those things add up to a lot of questionable decisions being made, and certainly not in areas where they have good agricul-

tural land like Richmond and south Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan.”

Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commission would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.’s northeast. The OGC already has some authority on land use, and its role in the review is “tiny,” he said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix accused the government of hiding its inten-

tions before the May election.

“After commending two separate reviews that called for the ALC to be strengthened before the election, the Liberals are now conspiring to undermine it,” Dix said.

Metro Vancouver mayors, facing the most pressure to expand development, expressed alarm.

“Certainly it’s disturbing if they’re throwing it out the window,”

said Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters.

She said some ALR boundaries need adjustment, but beyond that, her main concerns are that the commission has been underfunded to do its job and that more effort is needed to help support the viability of farming.

“It has problems, but it has its place,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of the ALR. “It protects us from ourselves.”

The postcards from the past “Time does not catch up with you; it just hangs around until you barge into it again.”

omehow I doubt that any of my aging readers cannot remember when there was virtually no tele-communication going on between folk. Back then, when a person went on a holiday or away from home, communication with loved ones was by postcard, messages that invariably arrived at their destinations weeks after the writers had arrived home.

I can remember sending cards — despite the enormous cost and effort involved — to my parents when I travelled anywhere away from my usual haunts and recently I learned that my strange sister — aren’t they all? — had amassed a large number of them.

Apparently, Mum kept all the cards that her children sent to her and Dad, and so, after our mother’s demise, her faithful daughter took on the task. She showed them to me when I last visited her and her large family in Toronto. We spent a pleasant hour or so with them and a bottle of cheap wine.

My early travels were invariably towards mountainous country but one thing that struck me as I picked my way through those cards was that I have always been more interested in the people I met on my

travels than the places I visited, despite sensational scenery.

Another fact that I noticed was my ability to squeeze far more than the average 50 words on the standard card. Interestingly enough, some European countries made a person pay more for extra words so that we experimented with the English language.

Apparently, ‘havingagoodtime’ or ‘foodisawful’ didn’t strike German or Swiss post masters as strange.

One of the earliest cards was written in Scotland on Peter the back of a gorgeous picof the famous high Warland ture point, Ben Nevis bathed in sunlight. Back then we used to believe that all Scottish cards were photographed on the same day, the one when the sun emerged for a few hours.

Fort William, July 5th 1951. Drove past Loch Lomond yesterday. Didn’t see it.

Didn’t see much of Glen Coe either. Wandered about on the top of Ben Nevis today and became lost. Came down the wrong side and had to hike for miles. Had haggis for dinner. Ugh! Johnnie tried beating it to death with a big stone. Probably haggis for breakfast ad nauseam.

Chamonix, France, July 5th 1952. Fell in love with a French girl today. Her name is Yvette and she is either eight or nine years old. I shall wait for her. Climbed our first glacier yesterday and bagged our first peak.

At the Alpine Club lodge we discovered a

big man sitting on a table holding forth in French with an English accent. His audience looked bored. They were mostly Germans.

Calvi, Corsica, June, 1953. Climbed Monte Cinto and Monte D’Oro during last week. Encountered some friendly shepherds, who spoke some sort of bastard Italian, but I used my bastard French on them and we managed linguistically. They asked us if we were worried about bandits but not to worry. The bandit chief had recently married the police chief’s daughter.

Wonder what sort of language Napoleon spoke.

Bareges, Pyrennees, August 1954. Jean (my wife by then) and I arrived from Lourdes today. Horrible place full of religious memorabilia. Everyone with hands out for money. French railways on strike so most of our party didn’t arrive but two women, one a head-mistress, rolled up on a Norton 500. Assume we’ll head off into the Pyrenees tomorrow. Going to be interesting camping.

Montreal, Canada, August 1955. Sailed serenely up the St Lawrence River today.

Hurricane Diane almost a memory. Flat country, tiny houses (shacks?) huge churches. Who pays for them? Passengers that were sea-sick now getting in our way.

We’re no longer ping-pong champs. Pam (my sister) and hubby met us here. Sweltering hot. Think we’re already missing English summers.

B.C. loses control, Roughriders complete a 29-25 comeback JENNIFER GR AHAM Canadian Press

REGINA - For the first three quarters of the CFL West Division semifinal, quarterback Travis Lulay appeared on the verge of leading the B.C. Lions to victory.

But the fourth quarter belonged to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and quarterback Darian Durant.

“In the fourth quarter, there were two drives that ended just out of field goal range and that ultimately that was the difference,” said Lulay after the Lions fell 29-25 Sunday.

“That’s tough, but that’s playoff football.

It’s never going to be easy, you know. It’s always going to be a game of just a handful of plays here or there. And unfortunately for us, their offence made the plays late that our offence couldn’t.”

It was the first time Lulay had faced the Riders this season because he was out with a shoulder injury.

Saskatchewan was on the scoreboard first with a field goal in the first quarter, but the Lions roared back with a touchdown.

B.C. held the lead until late into the fourth quarter, controlling the

tempo of the game.

But a field goal with 4:57 left put the Roughriders on top, 2625. Another field goal with 28 seconds left clinched the Riders’ win.

There was stunned silence and players were hanging their heads in the B.C. locker-room after the game.

“Things felt in control and it just kind of slipped away in the very end and it’s not something that you know, we were slacking off because we had control. It just happened to be that they made plays and we didn’t,” said B.C. linebacker Adam Bighill, who was playing middle linebacker in place of the injured Solomon Elimimian.

“It’s really tough to swallow. I mean it’s a playoff game, we’re done ... we’re not ready to be done,” he added.

When asked if there was anything that B.C. could have done differently, Bighill said: “Stop Darian Durant from running the ball.”

At halftime, B.C. had rushed for 162 yards, while holding the Riders to just 35 yards. The Lions had more total rushing yards in the game, 213 yards to Saskatchewan’s 170 yards.

Ticats beat Montreal in OT, head into CFL East finals DAN R ALPH Canadian Press

GUELPH, Ont. - With the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ season hanging in the balance, rookie quarterback Dan LeFevour delivered.

LeFevour’s two-yard TD run in overtime rallied Hamilton to a thrilling 19-16 win over the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division semifinal Sunday.

The six-foot-three, 230-pound LeFevour handled the ball on six of Hamilton’s eight snaps in overtime after Montreal went ahead 16-13 on Sean Whyte’s 34-yard field goal. All were runs - including two successful third-down gambles - and an 11-yard scamper that took the Ticats

to the Alouettes’ twoyard line to set up LeFevour’s game-winning TD. LeFevour’s touchdown secured Hamilton’s first home playoff win since ‘01 and prompted teammates to hoist him on to their shoulders, something the former Central Michigan star was uncomfortable with.

“I was telling them to put me down actually,” the humble LeFevour said. “This is a team game, shoot, the defence carried us all the way into the fourth quarter.

Hank had a great drive going into the wind.

“I really feel I was a small piece . . . everyone put in their two cents today.”

Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon shoots the puck on net while Spokane Chiefs captain Reid Gow attempts to make a block during WHL action at Western Financial Place on Saturday night.

Eastern teams on the lookout for Ice After homestand, Kootenay opens first major road trip with a win over the Calgary Hitmen TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

After wrapping up a home stand, the Kootenay Ice have hit the road for their first major trip of the season.

The Ice played out their last few games in their home barn over the weekend against the Red Deer Rebels and the Spokane Chiefs, before facing Hitmen in Calgary on Monday.

Afterwards, they’ll challenge the Swift Current Brocos, the Prince Albert Raiders and the Saskatoon Blades over the next six days.

After a lacklustre performance against Brent Sutter’s squad, which ended at a 3-0 loss, Kootenay responded with a 3-2 victory over the Chiefs and a 5-1 win over the Hitmen.

The wins have put Kootenay into fifth place in the Eastern Conference, tied at 24 points with the Hitmen in front and the Raiders behind.

Wyatt Hoflin stepped up to take over starting duties, with Skapski recovering from a lower-body injury. Kootenay prospect Jayden Sittler has been recalled from the Red Deer Opti-

mist Chiefs in the AMHL, and will join the team for just under two weeks.

Hoflin backstopped the team over all three games, earning the victories against the Chiefs and Hitmen.

“The guys are stepping up around him, but he’s had to make some saves and he’s done a good job, he looks confident and everyday he’s in the net, he looks more confident,” said McGill, following the win over Calgary.

Ice captain Sam Reinhart noted the same thing following the victory over the Chiefs.

“He’s stepped up huge for us in the last couple games.”

Kootenay also continues to miss the services of defenceman Tanner Faith and Zach McPhee, both of whom are out of the lineup with undisclosed upper-body injures.

Red Deer played a physical game and shut down the Ice on Friday evening. Cole Chourney scored in the first period for an early lead, which was padded by Rhyse Dieno and Connor Bleackley in the third

frame.

Patrik Bartosak made 19 saves for the shutout, while Holfin turned away 25 shots in defeat.

“I don’t think we were mentally ready, as a team, to start,” said Ice for ward Ryan Chynoweth. “We came out a little sloppy and had moments throughout the game where we put it on, but couldn’t figure it out for a full 60 minutes, and I think it cost us tonight.”

It was school spirit night, as schools from around the local district came out to cheer on the Ice. It was the largest home crowd of the year at 2,908.

Though Mitch Holmberg got a few points the following night, Kootenay did a pretty good job of shutting down the WHL’s leading scorer on

Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Chiefs.

Not only did Kootenay pick up the win, but they did it without leading goal-scorer Jaedon Descheneau, who sat out as a healthy scratch.

Kootenay was rewarded with a solid first-period effort late in the frame, when Luke Philp scored with a slap shot nine seconds into an Ice powerplay.

Holmberg tied it up in the middle frame, ripping a high wrist shot into the corner—making it his 50th point and the first player in the CHL to reach that mark.

However, Levi Cable broke the deadlock five minutes later, tipping a point shot from Landon Peel past Chiefs goaltender Eric Williams.

Hoflin stood tall on a shorthanded breakaway, robbing Holmberg. The play immediately transitioned back up the ice, and Austin Vetterl sniped the twine while entering Spokane territory.

Riding a 3-1 lead going into the the third period, Holmberg and Mike Aviani combined again; Aviani’s body redirecting a shot from

Holmberg that beat Holfin on the powerplay.

That would seal it up for the scoring, as Kootenay defeated their first U.S. Division opponent, after losing to the TriCity Americans, Portland Winterhawks and Seattle Thunderbirds earlier in the schedule.

“Consistency has been a big focus of our game this year, we’ve definitely struggled with that,” said Reinhart.

“With that being said, there’s definitely some character involved with us—I don’t think we’ve lost two in a row since the first weekend.

“We definitely got to get better at being consistent night in and night out, but after a game last night [Red Deer], to bounce back like this against a good team like Spokane who have a lot of offence, it shows a lot of character in our guys.”

Descheneau reappeared back in the lineup on Monday afternoon in Calgary and led the team to a 5-1 victory, adding two more goals to his 2013-14 resume.

Niedermayer inducted into Hall of Fame C anadian Press

Jack Newman of the Avalanche goes for a kill against the Capilano University Blues during a match on Saturday at the College of Rockies.

Avs feeling the blues after facing Capilano Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Both Avalanche teams put up a good fight, but in the end, the Capilano University Blues proved to be too tough to handle.

The men put up a good battle against the reigning Pacwest champions, forcing a five-set match on Friday night, but fell short in the tiebreak.

The Blues regrouped for a Saturday rematch, dispatching the Avalanche by a set score of 3-1.

The women struggled in the opening match, dropping a 3-0 set score decision. The rematch on Saturday featured

closer set scores, and the ladies were very close to stealing a few sets, but the Blues prevailed.

On Friday, after dropping the first two sets 17-25, 22-25), the men roared back to win the next two (25-19, 25-20) and force the tiebreak. However, the Blues were able to pull ahead and take the tiebreak at 15-8.

On Saturday, the men trad-

ed sets at 22-25 and 25-22.

However, the Blues came on after that and capture the next two at 13-25, 20-25 for the win.

“We had lulls—moments of brilliance and lulls—and that’s what cost us,” said Avs setter Nick Schmidt. “They have a couple good servers on those teams and we have to eliminate those runs and we didn’t.

“It’s tough. That’s what lost us those sets and those match-

Page 9

es.”

Schmidt says the Blues fielded a good server who allowed Capilan to go on a few runs but added that his Avs put up a good fight.

“Yesterday [Friday], we had a lot of energy,” Schmidt said.

“I actually feel our focus was better today [Saturday] in those first two sets, we came out stronger, as opposed to yesterday.

“Yesterday was just a tough loss. We went in knowing they were a good team. We had a game plan, we executed the game plan for the most part, but some things don’t go your way sometimes.”

TORONTO - This is a different kind of accomplishment for Scott Niedermayer.

As a player, he won everything, from youth provincial titles to four Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals.

On Monday was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame with his plaque reading: “The epitome of a champion.”

“When you’re competing, you’re actually in control of what’s going on,” Niedermayer said. “This is sort of a phone call and I hadn’t played hockey in three years and they give you this great honour. It feels different. It sort of sums it up, I guess, the work that you’ve done and the things you’ve accomplished as a player.”

Niedermayer is in good company. The class of 2013 is the first since 2009 in which every member with NHL connections has his name on the Stanley Cup. Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan each won it three times as players, while Fred Shero won it twice as a coach. Geraldine Heaney won an Olympic gold medal and seven world championship titles with Canada.

“If you’re going into the Hall of Fame, you’re a winner, obviously, and that’s why you’re going in,” said Heaney, who is the third woman to be inducted after Cammi Granato and Angela James. “It’s such a great group of guys to be going in with. Those are the guys I watched on TV and was like, ‘Oh, wow,’ and never thought that one day I’d be sitting beside them getting in to the Hockey Hall of Fame.”

Three defencemen, a power winger and an innovative coach are going into the Hall of Fame, but more than anything this group has winning in common. In addition to the Cups, each of the players won gold internationally Niedermayer, Shanahan and Heaney for Canada and Chelios for the United States.

“Each one of these guys has performed at a good enough level that they could represent their country overseas among the best,” selection committee chairman Pat Quinn said.

“This particular group is probably special. ...

The Stanley Cup is still the key one for the selection committee, but now you do consider these other awards and championships.”

Ice kick off road Nitros pull into second place in divisional standings trip with a win over Hitmen Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters got some revenge against the Grizzlies, but split their weekend KIJHL action with a loss to Kamloops Storm.

The Nitros also did it with with only one of their two-goaltender tandem, as Mousseau guarded the crease while Tyson Brouwer helped out the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, backing up Wyatt Hoflin.

Kimberley scored four power play goals, while Jared Marchi and Eric Buckley posted hat tricks to lead the Dynamiters 7-3 over the

Grizzlies. Bryce Perpelitz and Andrew Stack also had fourpoint nights by collecting a pile of assists.

Special teams ruled the first two periods of the game, as the Nitros got two powerplay goals from Marchi and Buckley, while Marchi added a shorthanded marker. Revelstoke responded in between the Dynamiters scoring with a powerplay goal from Matt MacDonald.

Kimberley’s power play stayed hot in the middle frame, as Buckley and Marchi both added goals for a 5-1 lead going into the third period.

Buckley completed

his hat trick in the third period at even strength, before Revestoke answered with a pair from Monty Chisholm and Brodie Buhler, who got his with the man-advantage.

Brandon Bogdanek capped off the scoring with a single marker late in the game to seal up the win at 7-3.

Mousseau earned the win by making 18 saves, while Aaron Brandoli took the loss for the Grizzlies with 23 stops.

It was a busy night for the officials, which handed out 10 powerplays for both teams.

Kimberley drew blood on four of them, while

Revelstoke capitalized on two.

Leading after two periods the following night on Saturday, Kamloops kicked up a storm in the third frame to score three unanswered goals for the win.

Buckley and Marchi combined for a pair of goals in the opening frame, while both teams went scoreless in the middle period.

Spencer Schoech and Austin Braid scored within five minutes to tie up the affair, but Bobby Kashuba broke the deadlock to earn the win late in the game.

Both teams were

scoreless with the man-advantage; Kamloops denied on six chances, while Kimberley was unable to capitalize on three opportunities.

Mousseau faced a shooting gallery, turning away 40 shots, while Kimberley put 22 pucks on Wade Moyls, who picked up the win for Kamloops.

Kimberley’s win pulls them ahead of the Fernie Ghostriders into second place in the Eddie Mountain Division. The Thunder Cats are three points ahead and lead the division, while the Nelson Leafs is the overall KIJHL leader.

Continued from page 8 Tim Bozon opened the scoring on a pretty passing play with Descheneau, which stands as his first marker in a Kootenay Ice uniform since joining the team eight games ago. Calder Brooks responded for the Hitmen by the end of the period for a 1-1 tie after 20 minutes.

The game opened up in the second period, and for another first, Rinat Valiev scored his first career WHL goal, sniping as he patiently skated into Calgary ter-

ritory.

Martin found the back of the net at evenstrength and Descheneau potted a power play goal for a 4-1 lead at the end of the frame. The Kootenay Ice triggerman added another goal with the man-advantage in the third period for a 5-1 final.

“A very solid effort from start to finish,” said McGill. “Really good special teams and Wyatt Hoflin made the saves when he had to make them.”

After 20 years of war, a good start in the Congo

C

an it really be as easy as that? Get Rwanda to stop supporting the rebels in eastern Congo, pay the soldiers of the Congolese army on time, send in a United Nations force that actually has orders to shoot, and presto! The bad guys surrender or flee, and a war that has lasted almost twenty years and killed up to five million Congolese is suddenly over.

At least that’s the way it is playing in the media (to the extent that news about the Congo plays in the media at all), and there certainly has been a sudden change for the better.

Less than a year ago the latest and one of the nastiest rebel militias, M23, actually occupied Goma, a city of one million people that is effectively the capital of eastern Congo. UN troops watched helplessly from the sidelines and the Congolese government’s army got drunk

and took revenge on civilians for its defeat, while M23 officers swaggered through the city taking whatever they wanted.

It was so humiliating, so stupid and wrong, that Joseph Kabila, the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to give it its proper name, stripped dozens of officers in eastern Congo of their commands and called them back to Kinshasa. Their replacements had at least a rudimentary grasp of their trade – and they have not yet been in the east long enough to develop lucrative deals with the local mining interests and the militias that feed on them.

Meanwhile the “international community” (aka the United States and its friends) put heavy pressure on Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame to stop supporting M23. Recently the US even blocked

Gwynne Dyer military aid to the small but heavily armed republic, just across Lake Kivu from Goma, that has been meddling in the DRC’s affairs, sometimes even invading the east, for the past two decades. It worked: Kagame stopped answering the phone when M23 called.

And the United Nations, whose 13,000 peace-keeping troops in the eastern Congo had been of no use against M23 because they had no mandate to fight, was so embarrassed that it changed the rules. A new “intervention brigade” made up of 3,000 South African, Tanzanian and Malawian troops was sent, with tanks, helicopters, drones, and full permission to use its

weapons against the rebels.

Finally, M23 helped by breaking up into rival factions that fought one another.

The former commander, Bosco Ntaganda, known as “the Terminator”, lost the struggle, and to save his life he fled to the US embassy in Rwanda and asked to be turned over to the International Criminal Court to face trial in The Hague on war crimes charges. His successors were just as cruel and corrupt, but less competent.

The offensive against M23 started two weeks ago, with the DRC troops doing the fighting and the UN “inter-

vention brigade” in support. Apart from firing a few mortar rounds on the last day, the UN troops were not even committed to combat.

On 5 November the M23 forces lost their last hilltops and surrendered or fled across the border into Uganda or Rwanda, and the war was over.

Maybe.

It is a huge step forward, but the peace will only last if two things happen. One is that the DRC now turns its attention to the biggest remaining militia in the east, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda.

The FDLR is a Hutu militia, run by the remnants of the Hutu re-

gime that carried out the genocide against Tutsis and Hutu moderates in Rwanda in 1994.

Like most of the eastern Congolese militias, the FDLR makes its living by looting the local population and running protection rackets against the rich mining operations in the area, but its ultimate aim is to regain power in Rwanda.

It was the presence of this force just across the border in eastern Congo that caused Rwanda to intervene in its giant neighbour in the first place. M23 was just the last of a series of Tutsi militias that Rwanda created to contain the FDLR, and if it is not destroyed the Rwandan

meddling (and the war) will resume.

The other condition for a lasting peace is that the DRC’s own troops in the east of the country do not fall back into their bad old ways.

There is big money to be made if they collaborate with the various militias in shaking down the mining operations, and it remains to be seen if the soldiers (and members of Kabila’s own government) can resist the temptation to profit from deals of this sort.

So it isn’t really over yet, but it’s a good start.

After a generation of carnage, the people of the eastern Congo deserve a better future.

Rob Ford doesn’t escape controversy at Remembrance Day ceremony Allison Jones Canadian Press

TORONTO — Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford couldn’t escape controversy at a Remembrance Day ceremony Monday, where a veteran refused to shake his hand.

Ford gave a short speech honouring the military and there was a quiet smattering of boos and cries of “shame’’ in the crowd as he walked up to the podium, though there was also light applause.

After he laid a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph at Toronto’s Old City, the mayor walked past a row of veterans and at least one refused a hand shake.

Tony Smith, who was stationed in Germany after the Second World War, said after the ceremony that Ford should not have been there, given his admission last week that he had smoked crack cocaine.

“I didn’t shake his hand because he’s a drug addict, a druggie,’’ Smith said. “He’s No. 1 man in the city and he’s smoking up and boozing it up. I don’t mind people having a drink. I certainly don’t agree with drugs.’’

Ford reversed five months of denials last week when he admitted he had smoked crack cocaine, likely in one of his “drunken stupors.’’ The Toronto Star and U.S. website Gawker reported in May on the existence of a video appearing to show him smoking the drug and Toronto’s police chief recently announced that investigators have seized it.

Ford has repeatedly denied he is an addict.

At the Remembrance Day ceremony, hundreds of people braved the rain and Ford shared an umbrella with federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt. Seated

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford looks on as does Federal NDP Party Leader Thomas Mulcair and federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt during Remembrance Day ceremonies at Toronto’s Old City Hall, Monday November 11, 2013. next to her was NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who has called on Ford to resign and get help.

After Ford laid a City of Toronto wreath, Smith said a fellow veteran seated next to him also refused to shake the mayor’s hand. However, at least two other vets could be seen shaking Ford’s hand.

Some veterans did not want to speak about the Ford controversy.

As soon as the Remembrance Day ceremony ended, Ford walked back to city hall, flanked by staffers, his new driver and a city hall security guard, and did not answer reporters’ questions.

The mayor’s previous week involved shocking confessions of drug use, drunken stupors, a new video showing erratic behaviour and pleas from both friends and foes to step aside to get help.

This week could see even more twists and turns.

The so-called crack video will be in a Toronto courthouse Tuesday as a judge considers an application from lawyers for a man seen in a notorious photo with the mayor.

Ford is seen posing in the photo with Anthony Smith, who was later shot and killed, as well as Mohammad Khattak and another man, who have both been charged as alleged gang members in Project Traveller, a sweeping drugs and weapons investigation.

Lawyers for Khattak were in court Friday seeking access to the video, arguing their client’s reputation is being harmed by being associated with it.

Nordheimer is also expected to rule this week, as early as Tuesday, whether remaining parts of a document that shed light on Ford’s relationship with Alexander Lisi, an alleged drug dealer who is also his friend, can be released.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A personal matter or a situation involving your home will turn out positively. You could have a lot of discussion with your mate or a key person about a potential change. Know that this person might surprise you with his or her compliant attitude. Tonight: What is stopping you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will achieve what you want, and you might feel as if you have the capability to have a long-overdue conversation. Your sense of humor weaves through various situations, which adds lightness to them. You are likely to achieve what you want. Tonight: Dream big.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Assume a more dominant role in a professional discussion. You might want to do something very differently from how you have been doing it, but you will abide by a superior’s decision.

Take a leap of faith, and you will emerge on the right side.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Detach from recent events and see a situation from a different perspective. You might want to reframe the situation in several different ways. Know that you are carrying a figurative rabbit’s foot in your back pocket. Remain optimistic. Tonight: Be around great music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner or an associate wants to assume the lead. Make it possible. You might want more time to yourself, as you have a personal matter on the back burner. Use your intuition, and it will land you on the right side of a problem. Tonight: Go off and do something for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

By integrating a suggestion from a partner, you will come out a victor. You seem know which path is best for you. Make an effort to draw in a new person whom you are getting to know. He or she would be good for you. Tonight: Sort through others’ ideas, then decide.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have an abundance of to-

Tundra

dos. Do your best to prevent someone from interfering with your pace. You might feel as if no one can stop you. Your energy surprises many people. A boss is more than happy with the results of this trait. Tonight: Slow down only when you want to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might respond on a totally intuitive level and feel as if you know what it is the right path for you. Logic might not conform to your actions, and trying to make your actions logical simply might not work. Stop trying this exercise. Tonight: Continue being spontaneous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could opt to stay home; work at home, if you must. If at work, your mind might keep focusing on a personal situation. A newfound closeness has started to evolve between you and someone else. Make it OK to vanish early in the day. Tonight: Screen your calls.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) While people around you might be emotional and undisciplined, you seem to handle their pas-

sionate displays and continue as normal. Your ability to stay steadfast might prevent you from picking up on important information. Listen well.

Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be focused on completing an important task that has financial ramifications. You could be doing a lot of thinking about your budget. Your finances might need a hard, skeptical look. Sometimes self-discipline is lacking, even for you. Tonight: Off to the gym to work out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will draw someone toward you who serves as a muse for you. When you are with this person, your natural talents seem to expand. If you are single, a budding romance becomes a strong possibility. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 32 years to a horrible man. He is self-centered, controlling, a liar and a cheat. He manipulated me into buying a house I did not want, and when my mother died in this house, he kicked me out of the room we shared and made me move into the same room she died in. He lied to me about not getting paid for a year, while pocketing $40,000 and spending it on an affair with our best friend’s daughter.

He then closed our checking account.

Two years later, he bullied me into buying a business, where I worked for four years without pay. He occasionally paid me a little, but then kicked me out of the business and told me to get a “real job.”

Annie, he tore my car apart so I couldn’t drive it, and he keeps me broke all of the time. He went behind my back and put the business and home accounts in his name only. I have walked everywhere within three miles of our house looking for work, with no luck.

I have no friends because he can’t keep his hands off of them, and I’m tired of making excuses for him. If I bring it up, he calls me a liar. When I finally told him I wanted a divorce, he said he’ll keep the house and the business and there is no money to give me a share. For the past year, I’ve been trying to find a lawyer who will take my case for very little money and haven’t found one.

I’m stuck here and losing all hope of ever getting out. His lies and false accusations have made our kids mistrust me. I am emotionally, mentally and spiritually exhausted.

I cry daily and wish it could all be over. Don’t suggest counseling, because I have no money for that and can’t get there unless it’s close enough to walk. -- Miserable Forever Dear Miserable: This is an abusive marriage -- emotionally and financially. You don’t need to find a counselor within walking distance. Pick up the phone, or go online and contact the Domestic Violence Abuse Hotline at 1-800-787-3224 (thehotline.org).

They will help you get out of this mess of a marriage and find a fresh start. Please don’t wait.

Dear Annie: I work at a library in my hometown. An 80-year-old woman who uses the computer is always messing it up. She’s there 10 hours a week and does a lot of damage, but no one wants to hurt her feelings by telling her she’s screwing up.

This woman is also forgetful and sometimes rude. When someone offers help, she claims she doesn’t need it. When she asks for assistance, she gets irritated and says, “That’s what I was doing!” She’s making things hard for everybody, but my boss is a pushover and won’t get involved. Can we do anything? -- Frustrated in Indiana Dear Indiana: We’re not sure how she’s “messing up” the computer in such a way that it’s a major effort to put things right. Can you post a sign next to the computer with simple instructions for operation? Would the boss be willing to require a “training course” for all computer users so that she isn’t singled out? Does no one have the patience to work with her in spite of her snappish attitude? The computer confuses her, and she doesn’t want to admit her weaknesses. Be kind.

Dear Annie: Tell “Champ’s Mom” that many states have passed legislation or are considering doing so to teach cursive writing in school. Students who have not been taught cursive can neither read it nor write it. Parents are just beginning to realize that their children don’t have the skills to read their grandparents’ notes. Children want to learn cursive. Please give them the opportunity. -- Long Live Cursive Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In Memoriam

Shirley Irene (Crozier) Carpendale

November 10, 1935 - November 12, 2012 We thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday, And will tomorrow too.

We think of you in silence, And make no outward show.

For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the heartache of losing you, That will never go away.

Love always, Your family

What made Typhoon Haiyan so deadly?

Geography, poverty, construction, population, warming all factor into making typhoon so bad

Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Nature and man together cooked up the disaster in the Philippines.

Geography, meteorology, poverty, shoddy construction, a booming population, and, to a much lesser degree, climate change combine to make the Philippines the nation most vulnerable to killer typhoons, according to several scientific studies.

And Typhoon Haiyan was one mighty storm.

Haiyan slammed the island nation with a storm surge two stories high and some of the highest winds ever measured in a tropical cyclone — 195 mph (314 kph) as clocked by U.S. satellites, or 147 mph (237 kph) based on local reports. An untold number of homes were blown away, and thousands of people are feared dead.

“You have a very intense event hitting a very susceptible part of the world. It’s that combination of nature and man,’’ said MIT tropical meteorology professor Kerry Emanuel. “If one of those ingredients were missing, you wouldn’t have a disaster.’’

Daily Telegraph

High waves pound the sea wall as strong winds from Typhoon Haiyan hit the city of Legaspi, Albay province, south of Manila.

The 7,000 islands of the Philippines sit in the middle of the world’s most storm-prone region, which gets some of the biggest typhoons because of vast expanses of warm water that act as fuel and few pieces of land to slow storms down.

Half the storms on an informal list of the strongest ones to hit land in the 20th and 21st centuries ended up striking

the Philippines, according to research by Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the Weather Underground.

Storms often hit after they’ve peaked in strength or before they get a chance to, but Haiyan struck when it was at its most powerful, based on U.S. satellite observations, Emanuel said.

Humans played a big role in this disaster, too — probably bigger than

nature’s, meteorologists said. University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy figures that 75 to 80 per cent of the devastation can be blamed on the human factor.

Meteorologists point to extreme poverty and huge growth in population — much of it in vulnerable coastal areas with poor construction, including storm shelters that didn’t hold up

against Haiyan.

More than 4 out of 10 Filipinos live in a stormprone vulnerable city of more than 100,000, according to a 2012 World Bank study. The Haiyan-devastated provincial capital of Tacloban City nearly tripled from about 76,000 to 221,000 in just 40 years.

About one-third of Tacloban City’s homes have wooden exterior walls. And 1 in 7 homes

have grass roofs, according to the census office.

Those factors — especially flimsy construction — were so important that a weaker storm would have still caused almost as much devastation, McNoldy said.

Richard Olson, director of the Extreme Events Institute at Florida International University. “It is, I hate to say, an all-too-familiar pattern.’’

Scientists say manmade global warming has contributed to rising seas and a general increase in strength in the most powerful tropical cyclones. But they won’t specifically apply these factors to Haiyan, saying it is impossible to attribute single weather events, like the typhoon, to climate change.

A 2008 study found that in the northwestern Pacific where Haiyan formed, the top 1 per cent of the strongest tropical cyclones over the past 30 years are getting on average about 1 mph stronger each year — a phenomenon some scientists suspect is a consequence of global warming.

“The strongest storms are getting stronger’’ said study co-author James Kossin of the National Climatic Data Center.

Haiyan “is what potentially could be a good example of the kind of the things we’re finding.’’

Similarly, the Philippines has seen its sea rise nearly half an inch in the past 20 years — about triple the global increase, according to R. Steven Nerem of the University of Colorado. Higher sea levels can add to storm surge, creating slightly greater flooding.

Just as human factors can worsen a disaster, they can also lessen it, through stronger buildings, better warnings and a quicker government response.

Emanuel said poverty-stricken Bangladesh had much bigger losses of life from cyclones in the 1970s than it does now. The international community built strong evacuation shelters that get used frequently, he said.

“The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone places on Earth,’’ said Kathleen Tierney, director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado. “They’ve got it all. They’ve got earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, tropical cyclones, landslides.’’
