A combination of flawless blocking, defensive passing and precision power hitting forced the competition to step back in disbelief.

In a recent Mountain Equipment Co-op national competition Wildsight’s Jumbo Wild campaign took top spot, and $5000.

The win is a big one in two ways says Wildsight’s Robyn Duncan. First, $5000 is a nice cash award and cash is always needed for any campaign.

And secondly, the fact that it was a national contest means that Jumbo is getting national recognition.

Wildsight’s Jumbo Wild project beat out such high-profile competition as Ontario Nature, Clean Nova Scotia, and Alberta’s Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition, taking 40 per cent of the overall votes in this national online voting competition.

“Mountain Equipment Co-op supports a lot of conservation work in the Purcells,” Duncan said. “They choose groups to promote nationa-wid. The recognition is huge.

Court before a judge alone.

Claudia de Assumpcao, 37, is charged with murder and arson over the March 8 death of Jordon Lenard Lomsnes in Marysville.

On Monday, November 18, de Assumpcao’s legal counsel, Buffy Blakley, told Judge Grant Sheard that her client wants her case heard by a judge alone, instead of judge and jury, in Cranbrook Supreme Court.

The case has been referred

Symphony tuning up for Christmas concert

Tickets are selling fast for the Symphony of the Kootenays’ Christmas-themed concert in Cranbrook on Nov. 30 S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

The Symphony of the Kootenays is preparing for its Christmas concert at the end of the month, and already seats in the audience are being snapped up.

“Tickets are moving very quickly. We are having to print more tickets as we speak. It exceeded our expectations,” said Steen Jorgensen, president of the symphony.

The concert, titled “A World of Joy”, will be held at the Cranbrook Alliance Church on Saturday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m.

The symphony will be joined by the Symphony of the Kootenays Chorus for the concert.

The 50-person chorus consists of members of Sun Valley Song, with some new voices added for this event.

In the first half of the program, the symphony will perform Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto Grosso in G Minor, followed by the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky, both popular pieces.

After the interval, the chorus will perform a modern piece by U.S. composer Christopher Rouse. Titled “Karolju”, it features festive music from around the globe.

“We’ve gone away

from the traditional ... and we’ve gone into something that sounds similar but they are new works,” said Jorgensen.

Before the concert, the symphony will open the doors of its final rehearsal on November 30 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Alliance Church for free.

“People will come and go during that hour and a half and listen to various parts,” said Jorgensen. “It’s a way for people to take ownership of the symphony because they see the difficulties they are having. And many times people will come to the performance to see if they have worked through some of those difficulties.”

It’s one of just three rehearsals that will bring the symphony together before the performance. The symphony is made up of performers from the East and West Kootenay, augmented with a handful of musicians from Calgary when there aren’t enough local musicians.

“We are the smallest community in Canada to host a professional symphony orchestra.

We call it the gem of our cultural mosaic. It’s extraordinary that we are able to do this,” said Jor-

Music/artistic director Jeff Faragher (at right, middle ground), is pictured leading the Symphony of the Kootenays at its inaugural concert of 2013/14, October 20 at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. gensen.

The Symphony of the Kootenays took a one-year hiatus in 2012, and came back last month with a concert, “New Beginnings” at the Key City Theatre, attended by almost 400 people. With a new board and a new artistic and music director, Jeff Faragher, the rejuvenated symphony garnered masses of support from the community.

“It was the first time in our memory that we’ve had a standing ovation at the interval, not even at the end of the concert,” said Jorgensen. “We were just so excited. The musicians did wonderful, Jeff did a great job. We were just so happy.”

Memberships in the symphony and donations to the volun-

teer-run association continue to flood in.

“We took a year off but we are certainly glad that now we have come back people have embraced it. It’s very gratifying.”

On the back of this support, the board and music director are already laying plans for the 2014-2015 season.

In the meantime, there are three more exciting concerts planned for 2014.

On Saturday, Feb. 1, the symphony will be joined by the five-member Juno-award nominated Sultans of String, performing world popular music for all ages.

The concert will be held at the Key City Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 1.

The following day, Sunday, Feb. 2 at 2 p.m.

at the Key City Theatre, six-string violinist and band leader Chris McKhool will perform a children’s and family concert, “Fiddle Fire”, with the symphony.

To conclude the season, the symphony will be led by Mount Baker Secondary School music director Evan Bueckert for two concerts on Saturday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m.

Bueckert will conduct the symphony, with some of his student players, in pieces including the Overture to William Tell and the Harry Potter Orchestral Suite.

Tickets for all Symphony of the Kootenays events are available at the Key City Theatre box office or by phoning 250-426-7006.

Kimberley Speed Watch MLA Report completes another year Norm Macdonald MLA Columbia River – Revelstoke

Cpl. Chris Ne wel For the Bulletin

Weather, everybody talks about the weather. But there is another topic I hear about a lot, traffic! There are plenty of stories out there about the other driver!

The near miss, the guy that cut you off, the one that drove too fast or the one driving too slow.

Of course then I hear about the ticket you got and how they should have caught the other guy. It goes on and on, trust me, I am very aware of what goes on out there. I see it, I enforce it and I try educate people on it.

Unfortunately it’s an uphill battle and one I doubt we will ever win, but it doesn’t stop us from trying.

One of the tools of traffic education is Speed Watch. The group is made up entirely of volunteers with equipment provided by ICBC. The members are committed to making our roads safer. Speeds are monitored in areas of concern including school zones. Working with the RCMP they work to educate and to raise awareness. Local residents often identify

Speed Watch volunteers at work in Kimberley. areas they believe speeding is an issue; police can deploy them to these areas as a way to determine the scope of the problem. Their primary role is to raise awareness and promote road safety. On occasion police follow up with drivers who are checked traveling well over the posted speed

limit by way of warning letters. But they are not there for enforcement purposes.

Sadly, on occasion, the team has been subject to criticism by some people. They are volunteers who donate their time for a safer community. Their role is to monitor traffic and record the results. This

year the seven-member group clocked over 5500 vehicles during the season, of those approximately 10% were traveling at least 10 kmph over the posted speed limit.

Some of the checks include Norton Ave, Hwy 95A near Marysville school, 4th Ave and Rotary Drive.

If you want to improve road safety in Kimberley, why not volunteer? Shifts are 2 hours long once or twice a month. Contact the Kimberley RCMP if you are interested. The team will start again in the spring.

National recognition for Jumbo campaign From Page 1 “This really shows how important the Purcell Mountains, and the Jumbo Valley in particular, are to people across the country.

People really get it: now more than ever Canadians want to protect the wilderness we have, rather than developing remote valleys like Jumbo for more real estate profits, and trying to mitigate the impacts after the fact.”

2014 will be a big year for the Jumbo campaign in many ways. In fact, Duncan says, it could be the year where the whole issue comes to an end.

“There is the Ktunaxa judicial review.

The court date has been set for January 2014 and that will be huge. It really could have an impact because it is challenging the Master Development Agreement. The whole thing hinges on that agreement.

“Then there is the West Kootenay Eco Society’s judicial challenge. There is no court date set for that yet.”

The other big thing is the fact that the Environmental Certificate for the Jumbo development expires in October 2014.

“There are 199 legal-

ly binding conditions in the certificate and we just don’t believe they are possible to meet,” Duncan said. “The certificate can only be extended for one five year term and it already has been. Under current law there is no way to extend it unless legisla-

tion changes. It requires “substantive commencement” and nothing has taken place.

“This year is hopefully the final chapter unless they miraculously find investors.”

“At MEC, we’re inspired by wild places – places like the upper Jumbo Valley,” explains MEC’s Community Program Manager Andrew Stegemann.

“MEC Wild Bucks support our commitment to conserve ecologically and recreationally important places by giving our members the means to register their support

for groups like Wildsight that are working to raise awareness of what’s at stake in Jumbo and other threatened places.”

POLL WEEK of the

Budget cuts put successful community literacy programs at risk Recently, I sat down with a group of people from across the constituency who are responsible for providing local literacy services through an organization called Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL). Whenever I meet with local service providers, I am so impressed with their level of expertise and their incredible commitment to their work.

As a former educator, I believe that one of the most important things we can do is ensure that we have a fully literate population.

And not that many years ago, the BC Liberal government claimed that it had a plan to make British Columbia the best-educated, most literate jurisdiction on the continent Following the declaration that literacy was a top government priority, $2.5 million of provincial funding was allocated yearly to community literacy programs, and a portion of this money is what CBAL depends on to fund the services it provides. And the list of CBAL’s services, developed using their small portion, is long and varied; services that our communities really can’t afford to live without. If anything, these local programs need more funding, not less.

But the BC Liberal government’s commitment to literacy has been short-lived. The allocation for government funding of com-

munity literacy programs province-wide this year has dropped to only $1 million which will drastically impact the efforts of literacy coordinators and their programs across the province.

In the big scheme of things, $1.5 million is a very small amount, and this cut to literacy funding does very little to address provincial budget shortfalls. But it makes a big difference in our communities.

With this loss of funding, we are increasing the risk that our citizens will not reach the literacy standards that they need to succeed, a situation that has societal costs that are much higher than the $1.5 million we will save this year.

Governing is about making tough choices, and we know that there isn’t money for everything. But promoting literacy has to be a priority, not just at a BC Liberal photo-op, but each year when we ensure organizations like CBAL have the funding they need.

Cranbrook settling fluoride lawsuit Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The city of Cranbrook is in the process of settling a lawsuit regarding the fluoridation of Cranbrook’s drinking water.

While the city couldn’t comment on the details as it is a legal matter being dealt with by the city’s legal counsel, the city could confirm that a settlement was in the works.

Kevin Millership first brought the class action lawsuit forward in August. The suit sought damages for fluorosis caused by the city’s fluoridation program that’s been in place since 1967.

“The City of Cranbrook, through our legal counsel, is in discussion with Mr. Millership regarding his legal action

and we are working together to come to a settlement,” said Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communication officer.

Millership said that he has asked the city to hold a referendum in November 2014, with a process of education and consultation leading up to the referendum.

The city couldn’t confirm whether the settlement included those stipulations or not.

The last time the city held a referendum was whether or not to fluoridate the water back in 1966. The referendum passed and the municipality began adding fluoride the next year.

The frequency of municipal fluoridation in B.C. has dropped by a since the ‘90s.

Cranbrook is one of only seven communities in the province that has continued to add fluoride to the water. The other communities are Fort Saint John, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Sparwood and Terrace.

In 2001, public fluoridation was defeated in Kamloops by a percentage of 63 to 37.

The most recent community to drop fluoridation was Williams Lake in 2011. In Williams Lake the municipality partnered with marketing firm Communication Solutions in order to inform the public about the pros and cons of fluoridation. There had twice been referendums there in the ‘90s where the population voted in support of fluoride, but the low voter turn-out and confusion over the referendum prompted the city to hire the firm to provide a more thorough campaign.

Kamloops on the other hand, gave repre-

sentatives on both sides of the debate $5,000 to run their education campaign.

Millership points to the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. The association is made up of 6,000 medical professionals which educate and advocate on issues of public health.

Health Canada states on their website that the use of fluoride to prevent dental cavities is endorsed by over 90 national and international professional health organizations.

The Canadian Dental Association promotes the use of fluoride to prevent tooth decay.

The Canadian Cancer Society notes on their website that many studies done by government agency like Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as well as independent academic investigators, haven’t shown a link between fluoride in drinking water and cancer.

From Page 1 But there has been no sign of the family’s other dog, Duke, who was with Saint when he was injured.

“We drive and we call and we walk, and it’s like, okay, where else can we look?” said Tammy.

On the evening of Sunday, Nov. 3, Tammy left her home in Slaterville to go for a walk.

“I shut the porch (door) so the dogs wouldn’t follow me, but I guess I didn’t shut it enough and I guess they started following me, but I didn’t know this.”

Her husband, Trevor McKay, phoned her shortly after to ask if the dogs where with her. They weren’t, and the family began a mad two-day search of the city’s western boundary looking for the two beloved pets.

On Tuesday, they finally got news. The SPCA phoned to say that Saint had been brought into the centre, badly injured, and they were taking him to Tanglefoot Veterinary Clinic.

Tammy learned that a police officer with a police dog had seen Saint beside Theatre Road on Tuesday near BA Blacktop. Unable to take Saint with his own dog, the officer flagged down a passing driver, who offered to take Saint to the SPCA. Tammy doesn’t know who that good Samaritan is, but she is grateful.

“I just wanted to say thanks for taking him there.”

After the SPCA called Tammy, she

Saint is recovering at home after having his leg amputated.

rushed to the vet clinic, where she heard disturbing news: Saint had been shot twice.

One of the .22 bullets was mostly stopped by Saint’s collar, but the second ripped into the dog’s shoulder.

“The second one, he was looking eye-toeye at the person. And he got shot in the shoulder, where it shattered all the bone,” said Tammy.

Veterinarians were forced to amputate Saint’s leg at the shoulder.

Tammy can’t understand what would prompt somebody to shoot her dogs, which she describes as friendly, loving animals. She is desperate for information.

“Just let us know – if they were doing something wrong, or why?”

The family, including her 11- and 15-year-old children, have been looking high and low for Duke for two weeks without a trace.

“I’m hoping, I really am, that he’s still out there. We drive and we call and we walk, and it’s like, okay, where else can we look?”

Tammy asks that anyone who might know what happened to Duke and Saint, please contact Cranbrook RCMP at 250489-3471. If you have seen Duke, please phone 250-426-7589.

“All I want to know is if Duke is out there or what happened.

That’s my biggest thing. So my kids can kind of ease on it too,” said Tammy. “If he’s gone, just let me know.”

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

Second Street South

I had the pleasure, which quickly became displeasure, of attending the open house hosted by the City of Cranbrook and Urban Systems. They were showcasing the proposed development of 2nd Street South from Victoria Avenue to 14th Avenue South – estimated cost of $9 million – and the Moir gravel pit behind the City works yard on Cobham Avenue – estimated cost of $11 million.

Certain members of our City Council along with Mayor Stetski have taken this beautification of the city plan beyond common sense. I am afraid to ask how many thousands of our tax dollars have already been squandered paying Urban Systems for the design in the pursuit of this pipe dream.

Urban Systems are the same people who designed the redevelopment of 14th Avenue from 10th Street South to 17th Street South, with a very unsightly ditch of weeds and trees which will create a traffic hazard turning off of 10th Street

onto 14th Avenue and narrow exits onto the side streets of 14th Avenue.

I was told the narrow intersections were to enable pedestrians to cross the street quicker. I would guess that there are more vehicles on that stretch of road in one day than there are pedestrians in one year. There was already a sidewalk on the side of the avenue but they saw some reason to put a wide strip of pavement with lights in the middle of it leading to the bottom of the hill where it dead ends on 10th Street going nowhere. It is not for bicycles because they already narrowed the motorized lane and put bike lanes on both sides of the street.

Thousands of dollars were wasted on the rebuilding of this street. There have already been many observations about the money squandered on the pile of rocks and a barely readable sign at the west entrance to the city.

I urge every taxpayer to go to the City of Cranbrook website, Engineering Department and look at the 3D animations

of the 2nd Street South Improvement Project and the Moir Gravel Pit Reclamation Project. If you do not have access to a computer, then go to City Hall and get the information. You will be flabbergasted over the turn-abouts and narrow intersections to accommodate more trees, boulevards and bicycle lanes. There will be little to no parking left anywhere along 2nd Street South if this project moves forward.

We are always being told there is not enough money to fix our roads. If they keep wasting it planting more trees and grass (which requires more maintenance every year), there will never be enough money!

Call Mayor Stetski and each of the councillors and demand them to put a stop to this pipe dream. Take action now!

Do not wait until the next election in 2014. Make your mayor and council accountable now.

An interview with Katrine Ann Hynne

Helen Duckworth

Katrine Ann Hynne stands by some of her works on exhibiti at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council.

H e l e n D u c k wo r t h

T

o welcome Katrine Ann Hynne into the CDAC fold, I sat down with the artist to ask a few questions about her artistic background, influences, and more specifically, her distinctive style which has visitors to the current Portraiture exhibition talking.

Katrine attends the interview dressed for a Christmas party later in the day in darker tones, but brings with her a vibrant energy and a smile that can light up a space. Unlike the bells in her laugh and the sparkle in her eye suggests however, this artist grapples with darker imagery and subjects in which has brought a wave of interest and admiring visitors to stop and explore her pieces in depth.

Hynne was born in Ontario and has demonstrated a love of art since she was very young. “When I was little I’d draw Garfield for my older sister,” she fondly recalls.

During her time in high school, Katrine remembers her favourite teacher, Mr. McClure. “He really liked my work and encouraged me. He said I was a technical artist because I love detail,” a comment which is evident when you look at the pieces submitted for the Portraiture exhibition.

Hynne uses mixed media in a manner which approaches beautiful photo-realism, and addresses subject matter in a way that allows the viewer to be intimate with the artist’s chosen subjects, without ever having to meet them for themselves.

“I usually have a touch of darkness in everything I do,” Hynne says, which is an interesting contrast when considering her pieces featuring newborns that the CDAC is currently displaying. Whilst the subject matter denotes newborn babies, Hynne’s tonality, medium and approach connote a gritty realism which makes the pieces all the more accessible to the viewer.

Hynne remembers being different from her peers in art classes throughout high school, as her work always seemed to have a “darkness” about it. This is perhaps due to her interests in the visual esthetics of gothic mythology, such as skulls, the reaper, dragons and the underworld.

When asked about her formal art qualifications or peri-

ods of study, Hynne smiles before admitting that she attended the Fine Arts program at Fanshawe College (London, Ont.) for a semester.

“Although I had an awesome drawing and photography instructor, (the program) didn’t seem helpful.”

Hynne remembers sitting next to students unashamedly admitting that they couldn’t draw stick figures, let alone the human form and more complex subjects.

Having made the decision to leave college, Hynne went to visit and stay with a friend in Invermere. “I hopped on a bus with nothing … except my art supplies of course,” and having fallen in love with the area Hynne set about establishing herself as a fully-fledged artist.

She exhibited in what once

was the Blue Dog Café, selling her works from there and doing works on commission basis for fans of her style. She moved to Cranbrook to study biology, chemistry and anatomy at the university level at the College of the Rockies.

Hynne doesn’t have a preferred medium; rather she opts to mix medias as this allows her to obtain textures, details and lighting effects she wouldn’t otherwise be able to obtain with one medium alone. When asked about her favourite subject matter, Hynne again emphasizes her interest in “dark” subject matter, mythology and the underworld, with a true passion for skulls. She also expresses a fondness for black and white photographic portraits as they convey a greater sense of character and personality.

Hynne takes inspiration from photographer Lee Jeffries and his series ‘Portraits of the Homeless’, an inspiration apparent in the pieces she currently has on display with the CDAC. Except rather than through photographs, Hynne takes her painstaking attention to detail and forms every wrinkle, curl, blemish, and highlight, glint and smile, by hand. Other sources of inspiration for Hynne come from tattoo artists, and artists like Delawer Omar who she sees to use a ‘blurring technique which creates focal points’ that she finds engaging and hopes to attempt and utilize herself in future pieces.

A self-described ‘perfectionist’ and ‘dark-artist’, Hynne’s pieces are on display in the Portraiture exhibition at the CDAC gallery space until November 30.

Two solitudes on B.C. farmland My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.”

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country.

So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture.

The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island.

This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day.

In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away.

In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who like to

look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.”

Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent BC VIEWS Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Tom Merritt councillor Mike Fletcher Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base.

Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population.

Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties.

Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more.

That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland.

I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home.

The two zones approach deserves serious consideration.

Roughriders staying focused despite hype around Grey Cup JENNIFER GR AHAM Canadian Press

TASTING GOLD: This past weekend the Cranbrook Peewee Tier 2 team attended the Kelowna Peewee Tier 1 Tournament. They went undefeated in the round robin beating Abbotsford, Kamloops and Prince George to playing the semifinals against Coquitlam and advancing to the finals against the home team, the Kelowna Tier 1 Jr Rockets. After an exciting game the Cranbrook Eagles came out on top with a 4-3 win over the Jr. Rockets. Cranbrook was the only Tier 2 team at the tournament.

Pictured above—Coaches Pat Spring, Shawn Byram, Mike Toth, Adrien Chabot. Players—Logan Chapdelaine, Bowen Byram, Liam Morgan, Erik Delaire, Braiden Koran, Rachel Teslak, Niki Sombrowski, Scout Truman, Kaeden Lane, Kaden Chabot, Roc Truman, Carter Spring, Jackson Bohan, Reeve Toth, Kaleb Birmingham, Nick Olson, Tyson Detcheverrey.

KOOTENAY ICE

Valiev to suit up for Russians Ice defenceman to join Super Series, while Troy Murray named to Team West for U-17 tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Russians are coming, and Kootenay Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev will join his countrymen for the Subway Super Series at the end of November.

He will don the red, white and blue colours of his homeland against a squad of WHL stars that include teammates on the Ice roster—Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau.

“I’m so happy to be on Team Russia against WHL,” said Valiev.

“Can’t wait to play. It’s going to be fun. I can’t wait to play against Sam and Desch.”

Also on the other bench with Reinhart and Descheneau will be the Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill, who is assisting bench boss Brent Sutter for the WHL portion of the Super Series.

Valiev will join fellow Russian WHLers such as Nikita Scherbak, the leading rookie scorer in the league with the Saskatoon Blades, and Alexander Delanov with the Seattle Thunder-

birds.

Seven other Russians are playing in either the OHL or QMJHL, and four players are property of NHL teams.

Valiev has appeared in 13 games so far with Kootenay after coming over from Kazan, where he was cooling his heels while waiting for his Canadian visa.

He has adjusted to the WHL lifestyle, but isn’t completely satisfied about how he is playing.

“Now I feel good in my game, but I need to be better, at all times and be ready to play,” Valiev said.

Prior to the WHL season, he got in some experience at the professional level with an appearance at training camp with the Dallas Stars.

He spent last year in the USHL playing with the Indiana Ice, where he tallied six goals and seven assists in 36 games.

However, making the jump into the WHL has been a different experience, as it is a much more physical game, he

said.

“More hits in this league, but I like to play offensive, shoot the puck,” Valiev said. “In WHL, so many hits.”

Murray representing Team West Troy Murray is following in the footsteps of his older brother, Ryan, and suiting up for Team West in the World U-17 Hockey Challenge in Cape Breton over the Christmas break.

Murray, the only representative from the Ice this year at the tournament, will join six other defencemen, 13 forwards and two goaltenders all coached by Dan Lambert, an assistant coach with the Kelowna Rockets.

The 16-year-old blueliner attended a summer camp and seemed to make a good impression. Speaking of impressions, he’s obviously made one with the Kootenay coaching staff, as he has appeared in every single game so far in the season.

“It’s going to be an exciting tournament,”

said Murray. “They’re [Team West] usually the underdogs, so I’m looking to change that and and come out with a medal.”

His elder sibling, Ryan Murray, is a former WHL standout with the Everett Silvertips who played in the same tournament in 2009 and is now playing professionally with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL. Seeing Green The Everett Silvertips come to town on Tuesday night, which have a few connections to the current Kootenay squad.

As mentioned above, Murray will get to face his older brother’s former team, while Ryan Chynoweth and Zach McPhee also wore the green and gold colours during their WHL careers at one point.

Also, Cranbrook native and Edmonton Oilers draft pick Ben Betker patrols the blue line for Everett. Betker was taken in the sixth round of the NHL draft back in June.

What’s old is new

again for the ‘Tips, as former bench boss Kevin Constantine has returned for a second tenure with the club, leading them to a 15-44-0 record so far—tied for third overall in the WHL. Being that Everett is a U.S. Division team, this will be the only appearance from the club over the next two years, as U.S. Division and B.C. Division teams alternate travel with Kootenay year-by-year.

Tuesday’s affair will be the first of a fourgame road trip through the Central Division for the U.S. team.

The primary offensive threat is Joshua Winquist, who has 17 goals and 40 points in 23 games played. Manraj Hayer, Matt Pufahl and import Ivan Nikolishin are also putting up some steady points for the club.

Goaltender Austin Lotz has joined Ice netminder Mackenzie Skapski during Hockey Canada’s program of excellence summer development camps, and will be a tough wall to crack.

REGINA - The Saskatchewan Roughriders say they can stay focused amid the hype of playing the Grey Cup on home turf in front of their notoriously rabid fans.

Hundreds of fans took to the streets in downtown Regina after the Riders beat the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL West Division final and earned a spot in the Grey Cup. Riders running back Kory Sheets got a first hand glimpse of the enthusiasm after the flight back from Calgary late Sunday night.

“You know, it was funny, me and Terrell Maze were walking through the house last night, somebody stopped their car and got out and was screaming and yelling. It was like ‘Congratulations. Yay!’ And then they just got back in the car and pulled off,” Sheets said with a laugh at a news conference Monday in Regina.

“I’m expecting a lot of that this week.”

Sheets, who signed with the Riders in February of 2012, has never been in Saskatchewan when the team has made it to the Grey Cup. In fact, he says he hasn’t played in a championship game outside of high school.

He says he’s getting advice on how to handle the situation from veteran players such as quarterback Darian Durant.

“Darian was telling me last night it’s going to be crazy, just might as well soak it all up,” said Sheets.

The Roughriders will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in this year’s championship game, which will be played Sunday at Mosaic Stadium.

Canadian men’s soccer team looks to end nine-game scoring drought

CELJE, Slovenia - Captain Dwayne De Rosario admits there’s a little frustration on Canada’s men’s soccer team with a scoring drought that stretches back nine games.

But as they prepare to play Slovenia on Tuesday, he says they’re keeping positive and believe opportunities will come.

De Rosario said it would be different if they weren’t creating scoring chances.

He also says it’s a great time for a young player to join the national team and he likes the direction it is headed under new coach Benito Floro.

After a 2-0 loss against the Czech Republic last Friday, Floro has said he expects to start some of those young players against Slovenia.

Like Canada, Slovenia has failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. Canadian Press

NFL investigator will visit Miami Dolphins this week

DAVIE, Fla. - The NFL’s special investigator looking into the Miami Dolphins’ harassment case has begun questioning players at the team’s complex.

As New York attorney Ted Wells began a visit expected to last two or three days, he released a statement Monday in his first public comments about the investigation. Wells says he’ll meet with players, coaches and staff. He adds that the organization has been helpful in arranging interviews and urging personnel to co-operate.

Tackle Jonathan Martin left the team three weeks ago and alleges he was harassed daily by teammates, including guard Richie Incognito, who has been suspended. Martin spent nearly seven hours with Wells on Friday in New York.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your words will dissect a problem that seems like a maze to others. You could be more irritated than usual when dealing with those around you. Know that a comment you make might mean nothing to you, but it could hurt someone’s feelings. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be overspending and/or concerned about your finances. Speak your mind in a discussion rather than hold back and sit on your feelings.

You might find that sharp words are exchanged. Don’t hold on to the comments. Tonight: Let someone else treat for once.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could go overboard trying to make amends over a comment or a situation on the homefront. You nearly feel like a little kid in that you want to run away. You simply are fed up and tired of a repeating, unchangeable situation. Tonight: Whatev-

er makes you smile.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Much is going on, and you could be a part of some gossip. You might be angrier at a neighbor, relative or associate than you realize. Know that the words you speak will be impossible to take back. Tonight: Stay out of trouble. Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are generally upbeat and always seem to have a jovial attitude. Friends surround you, but one of them might be costing you a lot either emotionally or financially. It would be wise to say something before your feelings become even stronger.

Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a lot on your plate, but you also have a lot of support. You might wonder when enough is enough. You will be able to determine that soon enough, especially as you are likely to lose your temper at the same time. Tonight: Do what you must, but no more than that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Keep reaching out to someone you care about. Anger might be closer to the surface than you realize. Be imaginative and forthright in how you deal with others who often seem snobby or above it all. Your sense of humor is contagious. Tonight: Venture off the beaten track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Continue what might be a very intense one-on-one conversation. You might not be comfortable with the person or even the topic, but this transaction is necessary in order to work through an issue. Keep conversations moving. Tonight: With a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You need to be sensitive to your significant other or to whomever you are dealing with. Fatigue marks an angry discussion that you normally would not have. A boss or someone in a supervisor position could push you very hard. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, especially if you suddenly become buried in a

plethora of information or calls.

You need to handle an immediate situation. A partner or associate will chip in and help you. Be grateful. Try not to lose your temper. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your mischievous side might emerge with a partner who, unfortunately, might not be in the same playful mood. Before you know it, you could be in quite a tiff. Maintain your composure.

If you can’t get along with this person, then back off. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pressure builds as you run into a grumpy associate. At the same time, someone is very demanding on the homefront.

You might be confused by everything that goes on. You can simply laugh about it or you can decide to get upset. It is your choice. Tonight: Head on home.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My sister-in-law, “Marie,” has been diagnosed as bipolar, but doesn’t take any medication. For 25 years, it has caused serious trouble. Marie is a spiteful, evil, controlling human being. You can’t find a single person in town with a kind word to say about her. Her own daughters try to keep their distance.

My brother is afraid to leave her and instead seeks the company of other women.

He’s had many affairs during their marriage.

All of the men he works with are aware of this and even encourage it because they see how awful his wife is.

As brothers, we were always close, but Marie has managed to sever our relationship.

My brother is not a healthy man. He works extra hours in order to stay away from home.

His latest girlfriend is a beautiful, kind, sweet woman. He adores her, but is afraid of what Marie might do. She has threatened to destroy his life if he ever leaves her. Her threats are real.

While we do not condone his cheating, the family has witnessed his painful marriage.

What can we do? -- Brother to Brother Dear Brother: Marie should not be allowing her bipolar disease to control her behavior. It would help if your brother could get her to see a doctor and find a medication that works for her. If she refuses and your brother is truly afraid to leave because of her threats, this would be considered emotional abuse. Suggest that he contact the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (dahmw.org) at 1-888-7HELPLINE. Dear Annie: My older brother will be 60 this year, and he and his friends are hosting a group party in another state. His entire family lives here, including his son. That means for the majority of the guests, attending will include travel and hotel expenses. I am fine with that. What I don’t get is that this event isn’t offering any meals. That means dinner is on us, and we will have to pay for drinks at the party. I think this is just plain wrong.

We are a small family and very close. I have invited my brother to numerous dinners here over the years. I suggested that we celebrate his birthday with a family dinner at my house, and he said, “That is not going to happen.” I don’t know what to think. -- Party Pooper, Santa Cruz Dear Party: We are confused by the words “hosting a party” when the guests are paying for everything. Nonetheless, your brother can have the party of his choosing in the location he prefers, and you get to decide whether or not to attend. Determine how important it is for you to be there. If your brother would be hurt by your absence, please go if you can afford to do so.

Dear Annie: This is for “Searching for Answers,” whose wife of 11 years doesn’t want sex. She works in a profession, maintains a home, runs five miles a day to keep herself in shape and is raising three young kids. I’d like to offer him my insight of 73 years, 46 of which have been spent married to my wonderful wife.

Sex is like the frosting on a cake. It tops off a good thing. But frosting without the cake is not satisfying. Those who marry in order to have an easy source of sex should work out some other way to satisfy their needs. A marriage where sex is the prime motivation will become tedious and dull or will not last.

Marriage consists of many things, some good, some bad. It is living day to day in a quiet routine. It means that you have a close companion with whom you can share a sunset. Think before you throw in the towel on your marriage and give up the cake for the frosting. -- An Old Guy Who’s Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
