B.C. Transit lists bus options for city B.C. Transit optimistic about Cranbrook’s bus system, while council expresses frustration

ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Representatives from B.C. Transit presented recommendations for Cranbrook’s transit system in a special meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 11.

They looked at previous reviews done in 2001, 2004 and 2011.

They compared Cranbrook’s performance

with other peer systems and sought input from stakeholders, passengers and residents. They used that to develop some potential service options.

Alison McDonald, transportation planner for B.C. Transit, said the current system has many qualities that make it easy to understand. One of those is =

that buses leave at easy to remember times such as 12, 12:15, 12:30 and 12:45.

She said time transfers are also a benefit.

It’s when all buses leave at the same time enabling passengers to change to another bus at that time to complete their journey.

Kenny Bridge has been named 2013’s Citizen of the Year.

The annual honour is awarded by the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce.

Bridge is best known in the community for his successful business, Bridge Interiors. However, it was his contribution to local charity events that earned Bridge the Citizen of the Year honour.

“For many years, Kenny has made an indelible mark on this community,” said outgoing Chamber president Mike Adams.

Transit recommends changes to system Continued from page 1 “Ridership on the system is strong and is continuing to increase,” she said. “The transit system performs very well when compared to similar size transit systems in western B.C.” She said that ridership has dramatically increased since the system was introduced 13 years ago and is now 2.5 times what it was then.

McDonald said compared to other peer services in B.C., Cranbrook’s system costs are the lowest from the group they compared.

Costs recovery is higher than average, which she said was partly due to relatively high fares in Cranbrook.

Riders per hour, at an average of 20, is about the same as other systems compared.

“So overall it is performing very well,” she said.

One of the recommendations is twoway service into Slaterville.

“We propose another two trips per day, one in mid-morning and one in mid-afternoon to reduce that interval inbetween trips,” she said.

The change would add 260 additional service hours and a cost of $10,000 to the city and $9,600 to B.C. Transit. It would also add 800 riders.

The service would be achieved by adding Route 3 and Route 7 on Sundays to one route, and by reducing services frequency on Route 5 College.

“Currently it runs every 30 minutes, but due to low ridership, we propose scaling it back to 60-minute services, again that would be on Sunday,” she said.

That change would save an estimated 380 hours a year, but lose an average of 200 rides

per year. The change would save the city $14,600 and B.C. Transit $12,900.

McDonald suggested those savings could pay for the extra service to Slaterville and also could be used in other various ways, such as increasing evening service on weekdays by 30 minutes, adding one hour on Fridays and Saturdays, adding two hours of service on Saturdays only, increasing service frequency during the day on Sundays, or beginning service earlier on weekdays.

She said their vehi-

cle fleet composition and the addition of smaller buses could be looked at, but “during the morning and afternoon peaks, some of the routes are standing room only, with the influx of school students.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski brought up frustrations he’s seen and heard about lack of ridership.

“If I could wave a magic wand around transit in Cranbrook I would replace almost all, if not all, with handy-transit sized vehicles,” Stetski said, adding that he often sees the buses empty or sparsely populated.

McDonald noted that there are times when buses do run empty, but repeated that there are times when they are “standing room only.” She said it’s difficult to CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELL have one fleet for the CALL: 426-5201 EXT. 202 peak period and one

for the low hours.

The mayor also suggested signs on individual bus stops that show the schedule.

Coun. Gerry Warner went further with comments about ridership.

“For 13 years I’ve looked at the buses every single day — I monitor them,” he said. “The number of times that I’ve seen a bus with double digits, 10 or more people, in 13 years, I could number on one hand.”

Warner proposed developing a new system in partnership with B.C. Transit that could be used as a pilot project for other similar small urban communities in B.C. Daniel Pizarro, senior regional transit manager, said B.C. Transit monitors ridership through electronic fare boxes on the buses, as well as counts. He also said that the cost of having smaller buses isn’t that big of a savings, since you still have to pay driver wages, maintenance and fuel costs.

Tania Wegwitz, who is manager of operational planning for B.C. Transit, said the models used in B.C. differ greatly from the rest of the country and B.C. Transit carries more riders at a lower charge than many other bus services.

“We use all different kinds of models to deliver transit, we use taxi companies, we partner with Greyhound where it makes sense,” Wegwitz said.

She said that Cranbrook’s service is on an upward trend.

She also noted for every dollar cut from transit, the municipality only actually saves 33 cents, since B.C. Transit pays 47 cents of every dollar and passengers pay for 20 cents of every dollar.

So that part of the funding disappears as it is cut.

“However if you increase ridership, every dollar in additional revenue, the city keeps,” she said.

Cranbrook RCMP station made more accessible with new lift Submit ted

The Cranbrook detachment of the RCMP is now more accessible to those with disabilities thanks to recent renovation work and the installation of a new lift.

Members of the public with disabilities who need access can now utilize a phone located at the back door to call the front desk of the Cranbrook RCMP detachment. An RCMP member will then escort the public into the building via the new

ramp and lift system.

The back door will remain locked at all times.

“I am very excited that we can now offer better access to the detachment for persons with disabilities,” said Cranbrook RCMP Staff Sergeant Lorne Craig.

“Improved access will allow the RCMP to better serve all members of the public while being mindful of the needs of anyone with a mobility disability.”

“Improving accessibility for people with

disabilities is a priority for me as mayor, and for council,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “This is an important step in the right direction.”

The RCMP accessibility project, budgeted at $80,000, was funded through the City’s 2012 surplus ($66,526) and RCMP Capital Sharing ($13,474).

The total project cost, as of October 31, 2013 is $69,078 and does not include internal wages. City of Cranbrook Public Works de-

partment carpenters Steve Bell and Rob Keown conducted the majority of the renovation work in approximately one month earlier this summer.

The lift was purchased from and installed by Medichair.

“City staff Steve Bell and Rob Keown did an excellent job and should be very proud of the work that they are doing to make Cranbrook a better place for all of our citizens,” Mayor Stetski added.

Cranbrook Chamber wraps up 2013 Chamber of Commerce announces turkey drive totals, names 2014 executive, and celebrates the past year in Cranbrook

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Cranbrook business people took part in a busy Christmas tradition on Wednesday, Dec. 11, for the final Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon of the year.

Before hundreds of people gathered at the Heritage Inn, the Chamber announced its 2014 executive, Jason Wheeldon and Warren Bedell wrapped up the Turkey Drive, Barry Coulter gave the annual “Chamber rant”, and Mike Adams and Laura Kennedy honoured Chamber manager Karin Penner for her 30 years working for the organization.

The luncheon was sponsored by Nutter’s Bulk and Natural Foods, and owner Denise Pallesen chose to recognize three up-and-coming local businesswomen: Krista Birch of Glow Yoga and Wellness, Stephanie Moore of Stephanie Moore Photography and Jan Stone of the Painter’s Crate.

Pallesen also congratulated outgoing Chamber president Mike Adams.

“You have done an amazing job at being president of the Chamber for 2013 and I would just like to thank you

very much from the businesses,” she said.

Next, Chamber director Lana Kirk announced the 2014 board of directors. Next year, Dave Butler, Canadian Mountain Holidays, will be Chamber president; Dave Struthers, Vast Resource Solutions, will be vice president; Avana Gjendem, St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, will be second vice president; Jeanette Sissons, CIBC, will remain treasurer; and Mike Adams, Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants, will be past president.

Next, Jason Wheeldon and Warren Bedell gave a run-down of the fourth annual Chamber Turkey Drive, held on Thursday, Dec. 5.

During the turkey drive, community members pledge donations to the Salvation Army and Cranbrook Food Bank to provide Christmas dinners for the community’s less fortunate.

This year, Wheeldon explained, the drive’s goal was $28,000, which he admitted “may have been a bit lofty of a goal”.

However, the drive raised $27,600, just $400 short of its goal.

Seven celebrity pledgers brought on to seek donations for the drive raised a total of $13,000

“A great big thank you to everybody, from our Chamber membership, to the community, to the service clubs and organizations that really rose to the challenge.

Every pledge counted, and it was heartwarming to watch people come in off the street and pledge a turkey to the larger donations coming in – it was just a wonderful event,” said

Wheeldon.

Cranbrook Food Bank manager Jackie Jensen accepted the donation at the luncheon.

“I’m proud to be involved in this Cranbrook community to see people from all walks of life caring about those who for whatever reason need our help in their lives,” she said.

The Salvation Army’s Captain Kirk Green said he had spoken to a woman who donated to the drive, which prompted her nine- and six-year-old children to ask about giving. As a result, the children decided to pool their piggy bank savings to sponsor a child.

“You are not only building community, you are building character,” said Capt. Green.

Townsman editor Barry Coulter gave the popular Cranbrook rant at the luncheon. The satirical, irreverent commentary on current affairs in the city this year touched upon the controversial brick building behind city hall, the addition of a medical marijuana stall at the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market, Cranbrook’s introduction to beer through the opening of the Heid Out, and an innovative approach to daylight savings time.

A touching tribute to long-time Chamber

manager Karin Penner wrapped up the celebration.

Outgoing president Mike Adams and Chamber admin assistant Laura Kennedy gave tribute to Penner, who began working for the Chamber in 1983.

In that time, the Chamber’s membership has grown from less than a hundred to 460.

“In the beginning I would say, okay, we aren’t going to make payroll, Karin, would you go out and get some members? And she did,” said Kennedy.

Since she began working at the Chamber, Penner has been instrumental in bring-

ing the BC Summer Games to Cranbrook, bringing about the annual Awesome Auction, now in its 18th year, and taken part in committees for the Cranbrook centennial celebration, the Hockeyville pitch, and participated in the Olympic Torch and Rick Hansen Man in Motion 25th anniversary relays.

“She is well known throughout the B.C. Chamber world. She has been president of the B.C. Chamber executives. Many people throughout the B.C. Chamber look to Karin for her words of wisdom,” said Adams.

Kennedy said that the Chamber’s staff and volunteers share a total of more than 100 years of service to the organization. They are a family, she went on.

“In all of the letters of congratulations I have received for Karin there is not one that doesn’t talk about her dedication to the Chamber, her love of Cranbrook and her willingness to get involved to make our community a better place to live. Cranbrook is a better place because you are in it,” said Kennedy.

In accepting the tribute, Penner pointed back to the many people she works closely with.

“I have been blessed and you are part of those blessings,” she said. “It’s been a journey that I would never have dreamed would be so rewarding, so much fun, and something I loved so dearly.”

Bridge named Citizen of the Year Continued from page 1

Bridge has helped with numerous local fundraisers over the years, such as the Children’s Christmas Party, the Cranbrook Dodge Charity Golf Tournament, the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life, the Walk for M.S., the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes fundraiser for the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre, and a recent celebrity boxing event which raised more than $22,000.

“Ken’s involvement has supported nearly every charity event in this community,” said Adams, “and that means that he has assisted and touched people from all walks of life, people he doesn’t

even know.”

Countless letters of support were given to the Chamber to back up Bridge’s worthiness for the honour.

“Kenny, while not always quietly, works in the background of so many events for our community and we would like to add our support in nominating him for Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year,” wrote Liz Desrosiers and Kent Gawletz of the Walk to Cure Diabetes.

“Whenever I approach Kenny for donations or help with a project he is always on board. We have never been turned away. He is always enthusiastic and helps

promote whichever event we are hosting. His donations are always significant,” said Brenna Baker, East Kootenay SPCA. Nominators Derek Kortschaga, B-104 Total Country, and Steve Mercandelli, Cranbrook Dodge, described Bridge as displaying generosity, leadership and compassion.

“Kenny continues to give even when times are tough. It’s easy to be generous when your coffers are overflowing. It takes a true, honest human being to give when times are tough.”

Bridge will be officially recognized during the Chamber’s Citizen of the Year dinner on Friday, Jan. 24.

Council debates reserve land policy changes Arn e Pe trys hen Townsman Staff

At Monday’s regular meeting, Cranbrook council again weighed into the federal government’s proposed changes to the Addition to Reserve and Reserve Creation policy. Council had asked the Union of B.C. Municipalities for its stance on the issue.

The UBCM replied that the policy does bring up issues relating to local government.

The policy would allow First Nations in different parts of the province to add land that is far from home, Mayor Wayne Stetski explained.

Coun. Bob Whetham said when he read the UBCM comments, he found that they missed a primary issue about governance.

“How do you actually have a separate governing structure within the boundaries of the municipality and expect it to work?”

Whetham asked. “I didn’t see any reference to that in the UBCM comments.”

He said this could be a huge potential problem for municipalities, which could involve a large amount of time trying to negotiate agreements within the municipality.

“You get individual parcels of land exempt from municipal governance,” he said. “Then you end up with a bunch of mini states that you have to negotiate with.”

Whetham said he doesn’t think it is a realistic solution, although he said he fully supports the idea that First Nations should be able to extend the reserve where they need to.

CAO Wayne Staudt

said he concurred with Coun. Whetham.

“It would be a very difficult and lengthy negotiation to determine which of your bylaws and procedures would apply and which don’t,” Staudt said. “It could create some real difficulty for people that live right next door and have a different rule than people right beside.”

Coun. Diana J. Scott said that it could cause issues.

“When running a municipality, you kind of have to have the same rules for everyone,” Scott said. “That’s what’s problematic.

It’s nice to see that we may have some options, but I think it’s a very problematic situation.”

Coun. Angus Davis said the old Tembec building is an example that the current system is working. The Ktunaxa Nation wanted to take over the building, they came to the municipality and made an offer and agreed to certain terms.

“I think it’s worked out quite well,” Davis said. “There was an agreement made between two local parties.”

He said bringing in the federal and provincial governments to the negotiating table would only make things more complicated.

“I think that building, and the use that it’s being put to now, is really benefiting the community in a large way,” he said. “Talk to the people that want to do these things and let’s see where we can go. We’re all in this together and I don’t see that as a problem.”

Davis said he read the government’s report and found it to be 30 pages of “people complaining about what other people are doing.” He said if they just sat down and talked to each other they would get an agreement that would turn out worthwhile.

Despite the bone-chilling cold last weekend a fair number of locals turned out for the Kimberley Alpine Resort’s preview weekend and were treated to the best snow conditions in years. The Resort opens for the season this weekend.

Locals ski for free Sunday C A R O LYN G R A N T

As the Kimberley Alpine Resort begins full time operation for the weekend and prepares for the busy holiday season ahead, it’s time

to say thanks to locals for supporting their home hill.

Residents of Canal Flats, Skookumchuck, Meadowbrook, TaTa Creek, Kimberley,

Results in from BC impaired driving blitz C A RO LYN GR A N T

Saturday, Dec. 7, was National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day and RCMP across the province conducted road checks.

In Cranbrook, says Cpl. Chris Newel, 20 vehicles were checked with two screening tests given and passed.

In Kimberley, there were three road checks for a total of nine man hours. One ASD test was given, but there were no impaired drivers.

East Kootenay Traffic Services and the East Kootenay IRSU checked 500 vehicles, with 30 screening tests. Everybody passed those tests, reported Cpl. Robert McDonald from “E” Division RCMP Traffic Services.

However, across the province McDonald calls the results “disappointing”.

“Despite the publicity of the event, and edu-

cation of the dangers of impaired driving, too many drivers still chose to get behind the wheel of their vehicle after consuming drugs or alcoholic beverages,” he said.

Results from the 97 B.C. detachments were as follows: • 32,877 vehicles checked; • Five impaired driving charges under the Criminal Code of Canada; • 104 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions with 30 vehicles impounded; • 94 warn results with either 3, 7 or 30-day immediate roadside prohibitions; • 17 roadside suspensions for drugs.

This weekend and through the holiday season, parties and social gatherings abound, and McDonald says police will be out in force.

Marysville, Wasa, Wycliffe, Moyie, and Cranbrook will receive free lift tickets this Sunday, December 15, as the Resort celebrates Community Day. All you have to do is bring a piece of photo identification and a utility bill that indicates your current address.

New skiers and boarders can also get in on complimentary lessons. There are 20 ski and 20 snowboard spots available. Check with guest services to see about a lesson either morning or afternoon.

Burgers will be available for $2 each with

proceeds from the barbecue going to a local charity.

Resort area manager Ted Funston says that last weekend offered the best snow conditions the Resort has seen in 22 years. Head up on Sunday and see if he’s right.

company that was the main beneficiary of the treaty. Funny how things work out.

The operation would never have come to light if the former director of technical operations at ASIS, who led the bugging operation, had not had an attack of conscience on learning of Downer’s link to Woodside. He told East Timor about it, and the Timorese government then brought an action before the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague demanding that the CMATS treaty be cancelled.

The Australian government’s response was to arrest the whistle-blower and cancel his passport last week so that he could not travel to The Hague to testify, and to raid the Sydney offices of Bernard Collaery, the lawyer who is representing East Timor before the Court.

The documents seized include an affidavit summarising the whistle-blower’s testimony at the Court and correspondence between Collaery and his client, Timorese president Xanana Gusmao. It’s more of the same sort of behaviour: the Australian government has decided to brazen it out.

But the case may still be settled out of court, because East Timor is still desperate.

Woodside has not yet started developing the Greater Sunrise field, and it will never do so if there isn’t a deal. Offer East Timor another 10 percent and a promise to go ahead, and it will probably drop the case.

The poor cannot afford justice.

orses. You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them.

Well, okay, maybe now you can, but you couldn’t 100 years ago. They fulfilled essentially the same function as the automobile does today: that of transportation, work, status and entertainment. Most businesses found it necessary to have at least one horse stabled out back to haul the delivery wagon. Doctors, salesmen, professionals, officials, miners, lumbermen, and workers of all stripes relied on their trusty steed. Even the railway relied on horses to move the goods upon arrival. Not everyone had a horse, of course.

Those without could always avail themselves of local liveries to rent horses, buggies, wagons and even entire pack trains if desired. The workhorse was the — well, workhorse of the community and it was upon their backs that our town was built.

Horse activity often made news over the years. Harold Pollard’s horse swam across Moyie Lake in the summer of 1900, and that was considered pretty big stuff. That same month a horse feeling his oats dashed through the back gate and into the laundry room of the Cranbrook Hotel where it proceeded to destroy the stove, windows, floor and pretty much everything else before sauntering back outside.

The same view over a century later. Many garages became parking lots. Photo Cameron 2008.

Cranbrook city police often patrolled on horseback although the picture of Constable “Baldy” Morris riding along Baker Street, “his sylph-like form sitting so daintily upon his Arabian steed as he rode with grace and ease,” may not have been entirely accurate.

The arrival of the Fire Department horse team in 1906 gave cause for much civic pride despite the $124 price tag. After all, first-class horses denoted a first-class town. A few years later, many watched with bated breath and rejoiced at his recovery when Prince, the gallant steed of the Fire Brigade, suffered from acute indigestion. A well-trained fire horse was often the difference between “little damage” and “complete destruction” and was not easily replaced.

Jake Fink, later fire chief, mayor and a man of precision, was the butt of much laughter when he narrowed the stable door behind his store on Baker

Street. Following a long work day he led his horse into the stable where it ate a large meal and promptly became stuck fast on the way out. It was necessary to cut away a section of the doorframe to release the animal.

Horses could be, and often were, dangerous when spooked. Runaway horses were all too common and certainly did their part to redecorate the town. In the early years, local painters Pieper & Currie lost their store awning and sign to a runaway horse team and wagon belonging to the P. Burns Meat Company.

Unabashed, they responded by saying they would paint the storefront now that it was clear.

On one occasion a hunter managed to chase down and halt a team of horses running off with his buggy. Sadly, he was clutching a revolver as he climbed in and accidentally shot and killed one of the horses.

The Robinson-MacKenzie lumber horse broke loose one spring day and headed down Baker Street where it collided with a laundry team. Knocking them asunder it continued on its way. Mr. Leitch’s horse and buggy at the Cranbrook Hotel corner saw the runaway coming and sprinted towards the railway. The cart it was trailing bounced off a telegraph pole and landed on Mr. Lange’s barber pole, turning both to splinters.

In the winter of 1906, Dr. Coffin (yes, that was his name), a local M.D., became the hero of Armstrong Avenue by flinging himself into a runaway sleigh, taking the reins and bringing the horse safely under control. Wilson’s Jewelry fell victim to a runaway team that crashed through the large plate glass window, destroying a great deal of crystal and china in the process.

Flames fire GM Jay Feaster and his assistant CALGARY - The Calgary Flames shook up their front office Thursday after a disappointing start to the season, firing general manager Jay Feaster and assistant general manager John Weisbrod.

The Flames have just 26 points this season, good for 13th place in the 14-team Western Conference.

Brian Burke, the team’s president of hockey operations, will serve as acting general manager. He said the search for Feaster’s replacement is underway.

Burke felt the moves needed to be made to get the franchise back on track as it tries to pursue a championship.

“I wouldn’t have come here if that wasn’t the ultimate goal,” he said. “I have to look at the steps that have been taken and figure out what’s the best way for us to get on that path.

“And I reached the conclusion that we needed to make this change.”

Burke was hired by the Flames in early September. Calgary took an 11-15-4 record into Thursday night’s home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Calgary did not make the playoffs in the two full seasons Feaster served as GM. He took over in an acting role midway through the 2010-11 season, and Calgary did not qualify that year either.

Team Canada women’s hockey coach resigns CALGARY - The Canadian women’s hockey team is looking for a new head coach just two months out from the Winter Olympics after the surprise resignation of Dan Church, who is stepping down due to personal reasons.

Assistant coaches Danielle Goyette and Lisa Haley will serve as interim co-coaches for the immediate future, Hockey Canada said Thursday in a release.

Church led the Canadian team to a gold medal at the 2012 world championship and a silver at this year’s tournament. He also guided the U18 team to victory at the world women’s under-18 championship in 2010.

“I would like to thank Hockey Canada for the opportunity to reach my goal of coaching and winning gold at the international level,” said Church. “I wish the players and staff all the best going forward.

I have understood from the beginning of this process that winning gold in Sochi was this team’s only focus.

“I believe that stepping aside for personal reasons at this time will help the team achieve its goal.”

Church was hired to a two-year contract to coach the women’s team in June 2012.

Mark Washington named new defensive co-ordinator for B.C. Lions

SURREY, B.C. - The B.C. Lions have named Mark Washington as their new defensive co-ordinator.

Washington has served as the Lions’ secondary coach since 2008 after retiring as a player.

“Mark is one of our league’s best young coaches and I am very excited to have him accept the position of defensive co-ordinator,” Lions coach Mike Benevides said in a statement. “He’s a leader, a winner and he’s demonstrated that he is more than ready for this next step in his coaching career.”

Washington joined the Lions as a free-agent defensive back in 2003. He spent five seasons with the Lions, winning a Grey Cup with the team in 2006.

He began his pro career with the Barcelona Dragons of NFL Europa, where he helped his team to the 1997 World Bowl.

This year playing experience seemingly triumphed over speed and fitness. Pictured from left to right are the following results: in Division 2 Isaac Hockley lost to Owen Langton, in Division 1 George Freitag overcame a spirited challenge from Joe Hockley, and in Division 3 Jordan Torgerson beat Aaron MacDonald. The Sportsmanship award was won by long standing tournament organizer Dennis Hockley.

WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

McGill leaves for World Juniors Kootenay Ice head coach heads off to Ontario for Team Canada selection camp

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Despite missing their captain, the Kootenay Ice pulled out a 3-1 win over the Prince George Cougars on Tuesday night.

That’s because Sam Reinhart was on a plane heading to Ontario to attend the Team Canada selection camp for the World Junior Championships for the next month.

Should he make the team, he will be gone for the next month to compete in the world’s premier U20 tournament, which is hosted

by Sweden in Malmo.

After the Prince George game, Ice head coach Ryan McGill headed back to Cranbrook with the team and flew out to Toronto on Wednesday to join Team Canada bench boss Brent Sutter and fellow assistant Benoit Groulx for the camp.

It’s a different look for the Canadian squad this year, which only features 25 skaters as opposed to larger camps in the past that included around 40

players. Only three cuts—two forwards and one defenceman—will be made before the final roster of 22 players is submitted to the International Ice Hockey Federation on Dec. 25.

McGill made no secret about what the Team Canada coaching staff is looking for.

“Their best. First and foremost, their best,” said McGill. “And then, obviously, we’ll slot them into roles and once that is given to the public, obviously, we’ve got some good ideas of who’s playing with who and where guys are playing and then we’ll make that decision on the final roster.”

The camp roster was compiled by Hockey Canada head scout Ryan Jankowski and staff with the Program of Excellence, which was whittled down to 25 players after 38 skaters attended a summer camp and exhibition tournament in Lake Placid, USA. A few names that didn’t show up in the summer camp have a chance to make the

team, based on the list was unveiled on Dec. 2.

Rearguards Chris Bigras (Owen Sound) and Aaron Ekblad (Barrie) played their way onto Hockey Canada’s radar, while forwards Taylor Leier (Portland) and Josh Anderson (London) did the same.

“A lot of these kids proved themselves in Lake Placid for 10 days versus some of the European teams and in practice,” said McGill.

“And then they proved themselves from September until the Subway Series.” “...To have a camp like they’ve had in the past with 40 guys, I think what you’re doing is you’re just muddying the waters. I think the management group has done a great job of scouting for what the coaching staff would like to see as far as players, and they’ve been real specific in who they think is ready for the opportunity and that’s why there are that many players.”

All but Ekblad, Reinhart and Connor McDavid are drafted by

NHL teams. Reinhart and Ekblad are considered top prospects in the 2014 draft, while McDavid is eligible next year.

Reinhart, who has 50 points in 33 games with the Ice this season, can play either centre or on the wing, and will use that to his advantage during the camp.

“Obviously, we’d like to see him fit anywhere,” said McGill.

“He is very versatile and you know what?

He’s going to do just like everybody else on that team. They’re going to try to take the best of the opportunity they can with what they’re given, and I’m sure he’ll be just fine.”

University baseball prospects camp features local Bandits players TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Cranbrook Bandits baseball squad was well-represented at a university prospects camp last Sunday in the US, with a trio of players strutting their stuff in front of college-level coaches and scouts.

Devon Marra, Ryan Phillips and Brandon Ouillette made the trek to Ellensburg in Washington State to a camp hosted by Central Washington University, which featured roughly 80 other baseball players.

Though it was a sixhour drive, the chance to show off their skill in front of university scouts made it worth it, said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek.

“Stuff I’ve been telling them, they heard from other coaches, and it’s made them more confident,” said Mrazek.

“There was a little bit of instruction and they’re hearing the same thing that we’re teaching here. When they hear it a different way, it might click a little better, and they’re also hearing new things from the college level, which is great.”

The day was split up with with pitching and

defence in the morning, with batting and offence in the afternoon.

Though the camp was hosted by CWU, there were coaches and scouts in attendance representing five other colleges and universities Both Phillips and Marra got into the bullpen to pitch, while Ouilette, a catcher, was on the receiving end.

Marra and Ouilette also worked on offence in the afternoon with hitting, as well as showcasing some infield skills.

“The kids have good mechanics, and they can play the game and they can throw.

Hitting wise, Brandon and Devon hit the ball well,” added Mrazek.

“When I was watching Devon—cause he’s graduating this year—a coach I was talking to from Big Ben in Moses Lake, was commenting on how the ball explodes off his bat.

“Well that’s why he’s

led the team in doubles two years in a row, because the ball explodes off his bat and he hits doubles in the gap.”

Mrazek said he had quite a few conversations with scouts after Ryan Phillips threw a 20-pitch bullpen.

“I did get to talk to a few coaches afterwards and they were asking me why I wasn’t already playing college ball, so that’s a good sign, I guess,” said Phillips.

Ouilette, a catcher, spent his morning showing what he could do with pop times, and how fast he could throw to second base, along with catching some pitches.

In the afternoon, he worked on double-plays as a second baseman, showing off his footwork, and spent two hours on the bats.

“I was kind of nervous going in, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” said Ouilette. “I was going into a scouting thing with a bunch of Americans—baseball’s their sport, right? But I got there and felt really confident in my abilities and it was good to know that I fit in with colleges and in a couple years, I should be playing there.”

Marra ended up talking with a coach from Big Ben University in Montana, who was impressed with his skills.

“Mostly playing shortstop, infielding and hitting, and a little bit of pitching too, I guess,” Marra said. “I felt like I did a pretty good job.”

Local First Nations company wins two awards Myrriah Simmons

Tipi Mountain Native Plants (TMNP), a majority-owned aboriginal company located just outside Cranbrook, is one of the premier native plant nurseries in British Columbia.

From custom seed harvesting to reclamation work, the company is focused on providing native plant material which is local to the province’s varied ecosystems. They are dedicated to growing plants that will protect natural environments, and enhance biodiversity. Over the years, 90 different native plant species have been grown by the business.

TMNP believes that development should be ecologically appropriate, and that a key means of reducing environmental impact from development is re-planting indigenous species.

Because of this philosophy Tipi Mountain Native Plants owners, Robert Williams and Michael Keefer, were awarded the Full Circle Award in November from the Society of Ecological Restoration (SER). This international award is given in recognition of restoration projects that incorporate the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples in significant ways and reflect a balance between indig-

enous and non-indigenous knowledge and techniques in the project’s design and implementation. SER is dedicated to reversing this degradation and restoring the earth’s ecological balance for the benefit of humans and nature.

The second honour is the BC Aboriginal Business Award for Outstanding Business Achievement — Business of the Year (ten or more person enterprise).

The fifth annual British Columbia Aboriginal Business Awards were announced by Premier Christy Clark and Keith Mitchell, Chair of the BC Achievement Foundation, at a gala celebration on December 5 at the Westin Bayshore. The BC Aboriginal Business Awards are presented by the BC Achievement Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and generously supported

by New Relationship Trust, BC Hydro, Teck, Encana, Spectra Energy and MNP. General Manager Bonnie Castle-Dixon said she is thrilled to have such recognition bestowed upon the company.

“These acknowledgments complement all the hard work our employees have accom-

plished over the years, and showcases what can be achieved when people are passionate about their trade,” Castle-Dixon said. “These awards are icing on the cake as the company is also extremely proud about the successful completion of its Native Plant Horticulture Training Program.”

This one-of-a–kind program wrapped up Friday, Dec. 6, at the Ktunaxa Nation Council building in Cranbrook.

Students who graduated from the program received a certificate from Royal Roads University to honour their achievement. Participating students completed a rigorous five-month curriculum (including hands-on, as well as inclass tutelage) where they learned all aspects of operating a native plant nursery. This program was funded by the BC Aboriginal Mining and Training Association, the Investment Agriculture Foundation of British Columbia, and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada.

To find out more about the company, please visit www.tipimountain.com.

To contact the business directly, or to see how you or your company can purchase native plant species please call Bonnie Castle-Dixon at 250-427-7010 or bonnie@tipimountain.com.

The SEA covers more than 70,000 square kilometres and involves four Ktunaxa communities.

There is significant regional economic activity in the area, including: • an estimated 80 per cent of provincial mining revenues; • five proposed coal expansions; • an improving regional forestry industry; and • a large portion of B.C.’s hydroelectric production.

The SEA is renewed for another three-year term, expiring in 2016.

Ktunaxa Nation Council represents over 1,100 Ktunaxa Nation members within the British Columbia portion of their traditional territory and includes the four Ktunaxa communities of ?Aq’am (St. Mary’s), Yaqan nu?kiy (Lower Kootenay), ?Akisq’nuk (Columbia Lake), and Tobacco Plains. A recent analysis

by Ktunaxa Nation of its business interests suggests the Ktunaxa inject more than $30 million annually into the regional economy.

The writer of the anti-book W Mike Selby

hether it is the work of a creative genius, or a collection of pretentious junk, Guy Debord’s “Mémoires” is one of the most unusual books every published.

Debord created the book as an answer to the negative criticism he received for his film “Howls in Favour of Sade” — one of the worst films to come out of the 20th century.

Produced in France in 1952, the first audience to see it was ready to murder those responsible. Advertised at the time as “one of the greatest anti-films of all time,” it was the projection of absolutely nothing, alternating between a blank white screen to a blank black screen. The unfortunate souls who had paid to see this nonfilm demanded their money back, describing the movie as ”awesomely boring and utterly infuriating.”

Feeling misunderstood, Debord’s response to the audience’s reaction was the book “Mémoires.” And whether or not it is as awful as his film, or the work of a creative genius, there is little doubt that “Mémoires” is one of the most unusual books published in the 20th century.

Similar to the images he didn’t film, Debord didn’t write a single page. His narrative is made up of words, sentences, whole paragraphs, photos, woodcuts, and advertisements he cut out of magazines and newspapers.

These he arranged at various angles and completely out of context, like a manic scrapbooker or an old-fashioned ransom note. Next Debord hired Danish artist Asger Jorn to paint over his pages with crisscrosses, drips and blotches of paint. One thousand copies of “Mémoires” were printed using thick yellow matte paper for each page.

Debord’s book — or non-book — was not bound in leather, cloth, or even heavy boards.

“Mémoires” is bound in sandpaper. Not only will it mutilate the hands of the reader, but it will also

Guy Debord, circa 1954

destroy the books it is shelved with.

Unlike his film, Debord’s book was a critical success. Seen as a work of art, “Mémoires” was hailed as “completely irresistible and utterly challenging,” and possessing “a beauty and artistic intelligence that is riveting.” It continues to draw more attention with each passing decade, and facsimiles of the book as well as scholarly papers continue to multiply.

The sandpaper covers were seen to match Debord’s increasingly abrasive beliefs about the French government.

In the late 1960s, Debord formed a new political faction called the Situationists (fans of 1970s music should note that Malcolm McLaren belonged to this group).

Debord’s work with the Situationists was blamed for sparking the Paris uprising of 1968, while he himself was implicated in the assassination of one of his editors.

Completely innocent, the charges only increased his anti-political stance.

While he had little use for France’s government, they had absolutely no use for him; his work remained banned in that country until very recently.

In 2009, Debord’s heirs (he shot himself in 1994 at age 62) offered his literary estate to Yale University.

France quickly labelled Debord as a “national treasure,” and halted the export of his archives.

Whether or not they still despised his work, or were brave enough to handle his book, Debord somehow had become important to France.

Something he no doubt would have hated.

Janus and the Cranbrook horse-capades of yesteryear Continued from page 7 Horses running at large were a problem — not only horses, in fact, but mules, bulls, oxen, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, dogs and poultry. By 1906, the city fined owners $5 for impounded stallions. Other horses were $1, bulls $5, cattle $2, pigs $4 and 25 cents for each fowl. An additional $1 impounding fee, $1 a day for feeding and a possible fine of $100 or two months in prison made free-grazing in city limits a

larbone and the baby numerous bruises.

In 1920, the Cranbrook Trading Co. team broke loose down the alleyway from the Cranbrook Hotel to the present day Pharmasave before colliding with a telephone pole. Loaded at the time, the wagon left a trail of flour in its wake.

It was certainly a sign of the times when, the same year, an automobile ran into the City Transfer & Warehouse rig,

costly proposition.

In June, 1909, Mr. and Mrs. Beattie and their baby were returning home from a neighbourhood visit on Baker Hill when the buggy shaft broke, rendering the horses unmanageable. They started to run at high speed, hit a stump and tossed out Mr. Beattie. They eventually struck a tree whereupon Mrs. Beattie and the baby were thrown 25 feet away. Mrs. Beattie suffered a broken col-

throwing wagon master Tom Patterson to the ground and relieving him of several teeth.

The horse was suddenly the victim rather than the perpetrator.

Over the years the runaway certainly proved that a horse could move very quickly. How quickly? Well, that was a matter of conjecture and, say, how about a little bet on the side?

NEW YORK — Sponges are getting squeezed out of a distinctive role in evolution. A new study says they don’t represent the oldest branch of the animal family tree after all.

The DNA research gives the spot instead to comb jellies, a group of gelatinous marine animals with names like the sea walnut and the sea gooseberry.

All animals evolved from a single ancestor and scientists want to know more about how that happened. More than half a billion years ago, long before humans appeared, the first split in the tree separated one lineage from all other animals. Traditionally, scientists have thought it was sponges.

The evidence in favour of comb jellies comes from deciphering the first complete genetic code from a member of this group. Scientists were finally able to compare the full DNA codes from all the earliest branches.

The genome of a sea walnut, a plankton-eating creature native to the western Atlantic Ocean, was reported online Thursday in the journal Science by Andreas Baxevanis of the National Human Genome Research Institute with co-authors there and elsewhere. The work supports some earlier indications that

comb jellies were the first to branch off.

Sorting out the early branching of the tree could help scientists learn what the ancestor of all animals was like. But despite decades of study and the traditional view favouring sponges, there is plenty of disagreement about which early branch came first.

The question is “devilishly difficult’’ to answer, and the new paper is probably not the last word, said Antonis Rokas of Vanderbilt University, who did not participate in the new work.

“The results need to be taken seriously,’’ he said, but “I’m pretty sure there will be other studies that suggest something else.’’

In praise of generous giving I

’ve written before about some wonderful studies conducted

by Michael Norton from the Harvard Business School. His creative experiments show pretty convincingly that money can in fact buy happiness. What a shock! Most of us have grown up learning that money can not buy happiness. What Norton has learned, however, is that happiness comes when we spend money on someone else. You can learn about his studies in his terrific TEDTalk at www.

TED.com.

It doesn’t really matter how you spend the money, he says, or even how much money you spend. The key thing is to spend it on someone else.

So let me invite you to be happy and generous this Christmas.

Every year, the Sunday School at Christ Church Anglican chooses a project to support, whether it be overseas or in our own country or city. For seven years, we have participated in something called “alternative giving”. Instead of giving someone a physical gift, we make a dona-

tion to a charity in that person’s name. This idea has become more and more popular over the years.

There are many reasons why someone would appreciate receiving an alternative gift. For some, it’s a way to protest the increasing commercialization of life. They are making a statement against our consumerist culture.

They already have enough “stuff” and don’t want any more stuff; alternative giving allows the giver to still recognize the occasion, whether it be Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary. Perhaps there is a cause or an organization dear to the receiver’s heart; that person might truly appreciate the giver’s thoughtfulness in supporting that effort. When someone makes an alternative gift, it’s really a double gift: a gift to the person being honoured and a gift to the charity and the people that really need the help.

This year, our Sunday School has chosen two different projects.

The first will provide chickens, equipment

Yme Woensdregt and training for families overseas who are living with AIDS. This project helps them become more independent, and injects a sense of pride as they raise chickens for food and income as they deal with the terrible consequences of AIDS. The second project will help survivors of Canada’s residential schools and their families to participate in events generated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. To participate in such events is part of a process of healing and reconciliation in our communities.

Both of these projects—one international, the other national—are worthwhile, and help others.

A very important part of this project is that every cent donated will go directly to help the children. There are no administration costs for this project. A few months ago, I watched a documentary about how much money actually goes to charities with some of the big advertising budgets … like the lotteries to win houses if you buy tickets for a children’s hospital … or World Vision … or the other charities which can afford TV advertising campaigns.

I was appalled to discover that the average benefit to the charity itself was only 27 per cent.

Administration and prizes swallow up almost ¾ of the money we give.

Not with this project.

Every cent people give goes to these projects.

Even better, the international project receives matching dollars from the federal government, 3 to 1. So I can confidently say that 400 per cent of our gifts will help people in need.

Waldfogel reminds us that we all get presents that we don’t enjoy or which we’ll never use.

He estimates that in the USA, such extravagant spending generates vast amounts of economic waste … some $85 billion. Billion. With a B. “It’s time to stop the madness and think twice before buying gifts for the holidays,” he says.

I agree. Here is an opportunity for all of us

to give generously—and be assured that this is a gift which really does help someone in need.

It is a gift which benefits the recipient — and also those who give generously.

It may be hard for us to change our consumerist habits. Waldfogel acknowledges that no one has taken him up on his ideas. Here, however, is a start. This alternative giving allows you to be very generous—

and also become happy as you spend money on someone else, someone who could really use this help.

Call us at Christ Church (250–426–1858) if you want to be part of it. We’ll provide a gift card you can send to let someone know that you’ve participated in this alternative giving project.

Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook.

Dive deep into the word of God M

any have gone snorkelling.

With a mask, fins and snorkel a living world opens beneath you, one in which you can briefly participate.

Even better is to stay under longer. Scuba diving gets you deep under the surface, seeing the different wonders of God’s creation. Freedom is given to investigate each nook and cranny.

December may seem a strange time to talk about underwater activities. Many of us have only winter to look forward to. But we could do with a bit of dreaming about diving deep into warm clear waters.

ful experience of diving deep into God’s glorious clear and magnificent Word. The Bible is not one book but many. Just as there isn’t just one place to go when you dive, there are many places one can start when reading the Bible too. The important thing is to open it up and get reading.

Some read their bible only occasionally. This is merely skimming the surface, much like swimming. Others hear from the Word once a week, but do not explore the riches of God’s mercies any more than that.

Maybe a person tries to read the Bible from start to finish like a novel.

Snorkelling is fine but there is still so much more God has to offer.

Diving deep into God’s Word enables one to witness the incredible love of God and his desire for a deep and committed relationship.

Certification as a recreational open water diver required many things to learn. But there are some key points for diving which can apply also to how we read God’s Word: A) Rule number one for scuba diving: never hold your breath. Don’t panic. In your excitement or in a crisis when breathing compressed air you can literally forget to breathe. This goes the same for reading God’s Word; there are parts which can be difficult to believe, accept or even trust.

Cleaning

Deal with a loved one directly who might have been touchy recently. Make plans to spend some quality time with this person in the very near future.

Choose your time for a talk with care. You are a student in the art of diplomacy. Tonight: Share some eggnog with a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Refuse to cause a problem.

Don’t try to manipulate or control someone else. Expect a backfire with that attitude.

Try to understand this person’s position first. Resist deciding that you already know where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Where there is Christmas music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be driven to get your todo list done. Consider whether the fast pace is worth it; you don’t want to be too exhausted to enjoy Christmas. You’ll feel good when you can scratch an item off your list. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies in between doing some shopping.

Tonight: Let the intensity build with a partner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A personal matter could demand more attention than you are ready to give. You understand that this issue might need to be resolved quickly. Consider handling it first, if you want to be effective. A family member or roommate can be as stubborn as you are! Tonight: Head home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll draw others toward you, but you might not want to hear everything they’re saying.

Distance yourself gently from someone who feels as though he or she is bombarding you.

Do not take a loved one for granted; you won’t appreciate the outcome. Tonight: Use your imagination!

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Both my husband and I are on our second marriages. We have tried very hard to get along with our exes, to no avail.

When we invite them to go to parent-teacher conferences with us or attend dance and piano recitals, it seems to only make matters worse. The children saw this, and it hurt them greatly. My husband and I promised each other that when our children were engaged, we would talk to them to ensure they were not making a mistake. I wish my parents had done this, even though I realize I might not have listened.

My husband’s son got engaged suddenly at the age of 21 to his first girlfriend. My husband and I thought he was far too immature to get married. His fiancee at the time was extremely loud and boorish and also inexperienced in the dating world. We spoke to our son and explained that he was young and there are many fish in the sea, and that even if he were madly in love, there is no need to rush to get married.

Well, he told his fiancee, and we were not invited to the wedding. Now, neither of them speaks to us. We tried to get his sister to pass along birthday greetings on our behalf, but she said, “I don’t want to get involved.”

It’s been nearly six years. We miss our son greatly. How do you suggest we proceed? -Unhappy Parents Dear Unhappy: Your heart was in the right place, but disparaging a child’s intended is asking for trouble. They rarely listen and often become defensive and angry. The best you can do is swallow your pride. Phone or send a letter or email saying you were wrong to have interfered, that you can see that their marriage was the right choice for them, that you are sorry for engendering ill will and that you hope they will forgive you.

Add that you miss them, and ask whether there is anything you can do to improve the relationship. We hope they respond positively.

Dear Annie: I am excited for the upcoming holiday party season, except for one thing: Please ask your readers to have respect for the non-drinking guests at their parties.

I am in my 30s, married and a mom, and I don’t like to drink, but I feel pressured every year at these parties. I never preach about it.

I simply say “no, thanks” when offered. But, my response is never respected. Instead they say, “Oh, come on, it’s a party!” Or, “Just have one if you’re worried about driving home.”

Some become quite aggressive in trying to get me to indulge.

What if I were a recovering alcoholic, deathly allergic or drinking were against my religion? It’s none of their business. But people act as if I am crazy for not accepting a glass of wine. I think they are poor hosts for pressuring me. I can have a great time without drinking. -- Dry in California Dear Dry: People mistakenly think they are being friendly by cajoling you past the point of politeness. You can keep saying “no, thank you” until they give up. Or, pour yourself some water in a cocktail glass. A third option is to accept a glass of wine and hold it in your hand until the party is over. You don’t have to drink it.

Dear Annie: I could have written the letter from “Hurt in Florida,” whose children and grandchildren don’t include her in their get-togethers.

My daughter told me they are “just too busy” for me. But they somehow have time for her dad and stepmother, as well as her in-laws and several friends. I haven’t seen them in more than a year. We don’t talk because I don’t call.

I don’t understand any of it. I just wanted to let “Florida” know that she’s not alone. I’m hurting with her. -- Midwest Grandma Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dive deep Continued from page 14 Do not fear. Don’t forget to pray. Enjoy his every Word. Read on, pray for His guidance. Trust in God, He will help you to receive His message.

B) Never dive alone. This is important for diving, from planning and preparation to enjoying your dive and ascending to the surface and helping each other stow your equipment. In the same way, when reading your Bible know that you are not alone. God is with you! As you read His word you can call on His name to help you and if you have a friend who also enjoys reading their Bible with you, even better! There are magnificent places which one can journey to each time you open your Bible; sharing that with someone else can benefit everyone.

C) Always make your first dive the deepest, each time you go diving. The reason for this is to avoid the build-up of nitrogen, in order to prevent gas bubbles developing within you – otherwise known as “the bends.” Acknowledging to God that we need Him in our lives is important, but also the most difficult thing to admit.

Just as the nitrogen builds up from not being expended from our system, in part because we didn’t go deep enough the first time we dove, sin can build up in us be-

cause we weren’t honest enough with ourselves and God the first time we met with Him, each time we meet with Him. And we do meet with Him when we delve into His Word!

D) Ascend slowly and safely from every dive. For some of the same reasons immediately above, but also to prevent damage to one’s ear drums, slowly ascending from a dive is important. Following behind your bubbles as you go up is the best way to know you’re going at a good pace – play with them as you ascend. In the same way, revel in God’s grace and forgiveness. Don’t be in a hurry to leave God’s Word. Study a word that has piqued your curiosity, open an atlas that can show you where a certain character has trod or place that a group has camped, “google” the strange rite or practice that you don’t understand.

Finally pray and thank God for his Word; slowly ascend from your dive into God’s Word.

The great thing is – the longer you participate fully in your experience with God the more you want to remain in Him. Soon you can’t wait until the next time to dive in and fully experience God. When diving the saying is, “Can’t wait to get wet again!”

Rev. David Morton is Associate Pastor, East Kootenay Lutheran Parish.
