Olivia, Ethan top B.C. baby names Bl ac k Press

The top baby names for B.C. parents in 2012 were Olivia and Ethan.

Those choices replaced the 2011 top parent picks, Liam and Emma, which both fell to second place. The most popular picks are compiled by the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency, which registered 44,270 births in the province in 2012. That’s a slight increase from 43,991 in 2011.

The most popular five girl names were Olivia, Emma, Sophia, Emily and Ava. The top boy names for 2012 were Ethan, Liam, Lucas, Mason and Logan.

The influence of popular culture shows up in baby names each year. In 2012 there were 71 babies named Justin, 70 named Taylor, 35 named Khloe and 30 named Bella.

Golf course at Shadow Mountain sold A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

The receiver-manager in charge of the Shadow Mountain Golf Ltd. confirmed Tuesday, Dec. 31, that the property has been sold to a buyers group out of Edmonton.

The receiver-manager was court appointed to manage the golf course on Jan. 8, 2013.

It was not appointed over Shadow Mountain Properties Ltd. and so doesn’t have authority to provide information on the property development at the location.

No further details of the nature of the purchase were available as of the Townsman’s

press time.

In 2007, the city boundary was expanded for the inclusion of the Shadow Mountain development. The city was notified by the Ministry of Community Services that the boundary expansion application had been approved through an order of council included and included Shadow Mountain.

According to the city’s report at the time, Shadow Mountain consists of 232 hectares of land incorporated into the city as part of the larger “St. Mary Neighbourhood” boundary extension approved in October, 2007.

Utility rates going up $1 as of January Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

New utility rates have gone into effect as of January 1 for the residence of the City of Cranbrook. Water and sewer rates will see an increase of $1, taking water rates from $19 to $20, and sewer rates from $17 to $18.

Landfill fees will actually decrease by $1, taking those fees from $12 down to $11. That brings monthly utility rates up $1 to $56.50 per month.

The city noted in a release that water rates for non-residential users, including those with metered accounts, have increased proportionately.

The new rates were approved by city council back on November 25.

Council passed all three bylaws unanimously.

At that time city staff explained that the decrease in sewer rates

comes as the city is comfortable with the surplus balance in the solid waste funds and so suggested the decrease.

The city also gives a discount of five per cent on all 2014 utility accounts paid for the year and received at city hall on or before February 28, 2014.

Sleepless bears prompt warning for Fernie Canadian Press

Two black bears in the Elk Valley east of Cranbrook are not sleeping in heavenly peace this holiday sea-

son.

That’s prompting a warning from conservation officers around the southeastern B.C. city of Fernie, urging

residents to use caution, clean out bird feeders and keep garbage indoors.

The bruins have been spotted in two

Fernie-area neighbourhoods.

One of the animals was put down on Christmas Day, but the other hasn’t been locat-

ed.

The little creature is described as small and skinny.

It’s believed to be roaming for food.

Elkford set for January deer cull Ta m a r a Hyn d Fernie Free Press

The District of Elkford will be harvesting up to 50 deer this January under a provincial licence to euthanize deer in town limits. The licence to kill 50 mule deer was issued in October.

Three separate deer counts showed there are 78 to 140 deer in Elkford. The last count in September showed deer numbers in Elkford town limits had lowered so the District is expecting to harvest 30 animals. The meat will be prepared for local food banks.

B.C. regulations dictate that no dogs (as is allowed in Alberta), no guns and no archery are allowed with the cull. A clover trap will be used to trap the deer and a captive bolt gun will euthanize each animal. The cull is expected to commence in January 2014 once the contractor is secured.

The deer harvest is motivated by public safety. Reports of ag-

gressive deer attacking people and injuring dogs are the first concern. As the herd becomes unnaturally large there is a greater chance of a tick borne disease. A public open house on November 26 to explain the planned deer harvest in January but only six to eight residents attended.

“The deer seem to have an issue with people with attachments,” said Bernie Van Tighem, District staff representative on the Urban Wildlife Management Council Advisory Committee. “Deer have gone after people with strollers and dogs on leashes.”

One deer went into a back yard killing a nine-month old puppy and there have been instances where vehicles have been driven between a human and a deer for safety’s sake.

There have been many reports of deer eating garbage and people habitually feeding the deer too.

In 2012, 433 Elkford

residents participated in an online survey about the deer population in the townsite.

Deer aggression towards humans, pets, threat of vehicle collision, damage to plants and trees and over population of the herd were the top concerns. Over 55 per cent of those surveyed had been threatened or a mem-

ber of their immediate family had been threatened by a deer in town limits. Of those cases, 78 per cent reported it was by a doe in summer or spring.

Residents have used fencing, netting and screening, repellant and scaring as deterrents for deer. 24 per cent also said they knew of someone who

fed deer.

In dealing with the population, capture and relocation was the top option, followed by controlled public hunting and education.

Only seven per cent selected the capture and euthanize option.

Sixty per cent of the people surveyed had lived in Elkford for more than 20 years.

Pacific Coastal Airlines announced in October that it was soon to commence direct flights between Cranbrook and Kelowna. The service began on Nov. 18 and operates daily, Sunday through Friday. *** A dangerous offender hearing began in Cranbrook for Randall Hopley, who pleaded guilty to the September 2011 kidnapping of three-year-old Sparwood child Kienan Hebert. Over the weeklong hearing, the court heard about Hopley’s history sexually assaulting children when he was a young man, and psychiatric experts testified that the 48-yearold has a high risk of reoffending. In November, Justice Heather Holmes determined that Hopley is a longterm offender, and sentenced him to another five years in jail, followed by 10 years of close supervision. *** Cranbrook city

council decided against proceeding with a third deer cull in fall 2013. A drop in the number of complaints about aggressive urban deer led to the decision. *** A group of high school students landed in hot water after acting out a bank heist with prop handguns on Baker Street. The stunt was a scene for a film project, but unsuspecting passersby called in the police. The students were wrestled down by seven RCMP officers, who quickly got to the bottom of it and released the teens with a warning to think about how their actions could be perceived. *** Teck was granted approval for the expansion of its Line Creek mine, 20 kilometres northeast of Sparwood. Phase II will extend the Line Creek operation for up to 18 years. *** The first of its kind in Canada, a free dental clinic opened at the Sal-

The short answer to this question is a resounding no. Gluten free foods have become extremely popular in the last few years and for good reason, however the increasing amount of highly processed gluten free items has made this diet a lot less healthy. We always recommend a whole foods approach to diet and gluten free foods can be just as bad for you, if not worse than other processed or packaged items. I have listed the ingredients to a popular gluten free food below as an example: Water, rice flour, tapioca starch, corn starch, canola and/or soybean oil, sugar, yeast, dried eggwhite (egg-white, yeast, citric acid), sea salt, xanthan gum, modified cellulose, baking powder, soy monoglycerides, calcium propionate, ascorbic acid, amylase.

Note the amount of sugars/starches and preservatives added to this product.

That being said, gluten sensitivity has increased dramatically due to the development of genetically modified (GM) wheat which contains a much higher gluten content than non-GM wheat. If you are diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity then avoiding gluten is a necessity, but simply avoiding gluten for health reasons without a known sensitivity may not be advised.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in many grains with the most abundant being wheat. A sensitivity arises when the immune system recognizes this protein as a foreign substance and instead of digesting it properly the body mounts a negative response. This can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas, bloating, joint pain, fatigue and fogginess.

Celiac vs. Sensitivity Celiac disease is a serious condition where any amount of gluten can cause severe symptoms, whereas a gluten sensitivity is a different type of immune reaction and the amount of gluten that is tolerated by the body will depend on each individual.

Where is gluten found?

Gluten is found in the following grains: Wheat Barley Rye Spelt Couscous Kamut Oats themselves do not contain any gluten, but are often contaminated when manufactured in the same factory as wheat.

All soy sauces have gluten added to them.

Should I be gluten free?

If you suspect a gluten sensitivity there are several ways to determine the presence and extent of the intolerance. A blood test can be done to detect Celiac disease but this test will only be positive if you have Celiac and will not show other sensitivities to gluten. An elimination diet challenge can be done simply by removing gluten from your diet for a period of time while observing for any noticeable difference in symptoms.

Lastly, a blood test can determine your immune system’s reaction to gluten and other foods to determine the degree of sensitivity.

Gluten free diets are not necessarily healthy for every person and should only be recommended to those who react to it.

Dietary needs should be assessed on an individual basis to ensure your body is receiving the nutrients it requires. Replacing gluten with gluten-free packaged foods is definitely not the proper way to avoid gluten!

Gay rights and the ‘counter-revolution’ After a decade when the struggle for equal rights for gay people made great progress, it looks like the counter-revolution is underway. In the past six months, there have been major defeats for gay rights in Africa, in Asia, and even in Europe.

In June, the Russian parliament passed a law banning “propaganda for non-traditional sexual relations” that effectively makes it illegal to speak publicly in defence of gay rights, let alone hold gay pride events.

Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, warned the following month that same-sex marriage (barely discussed in Russia) is “a very dangerous sign of the Apocalypse.” In a 2013 poll, 16 percent of Russians said that gay people should be isolated from society, 22 percent said they should be forced to undergo treatment, and 5 percent said they should just be “liquidated”.

In Australia, on 11 December, only a week after a law making same-sex marriage legal in the Australian Capital Territory came into effect, the federal High Court overturned it and 27 gay marriages were automatically dissolved. “Whether same sex marriage should be provided for by law is a matter for the federal parliament,” said the judges, and should not be decided by the courts.

On the same day, in India, the Supreme Court reversed a 2009 ruling by the Delhi High Court that had struck down the infamous Section 377, which said that a samesex relationship is an “unnatural offence” punishable by a 10-year jail term. The ruling only applied to the National Capital Territory, but it was widely assumed that

other Indian courts would follow suit.

However, the Indian Supreme Court has now jumped the other way.

Finally, on 19 December, Uganda’s parliament passed a law imposing life imprisonment for some homosexual “offences”.

The private member’s bill also makes it a crime punishable by a three-year prison sentence not to report gay people to the police.

When you set it out like this, it looks as if a global counter-offensive against Gwynne gay rights is underway, but it’s not as bad as it looks.

Dyer Uganda’s prime minister, Amama Mbabazi, opposes the new law and claims that there was not a quorum in parliament to pass it. It may be cancelled on that argument, or President Yoweri Museveni, who is conscious of the international damage to Uganda’s reputation, may simply veto it. This is not yet a done deal.

Africa is the most anti-gay continent — 37 out of 52 African countries have laws that criminalise homosexual acts — but many of these laws are a legacy of the European colonial occupations and are not vigorously enforced. Some of the biggest African countries, including South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Egypt, have no anti-gay laws. The glass is considerably less than half-full in Africa, but it is not empty.

In Asia, anti-homosexual laws are rare except in Muslim-majority countries. India was the great exception to that rule. Section 377 was an embarrassment to the Congress government, which was quietly grateful to the Delhi High Court for striking it down.

The government has already filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to recon-

sider its decision on the grounds that it “violated the principle of equality.” On the other hand, if a new law is actually required to kill Section 377, it is unlikely to risk outraging conservative opinion by passing such a law before next year’s election.

In Russia, the battle for gay rights is already almost a century old. Homosexuality was decriminalised in 1917 after the revolution, recriminalised under Stalin in 1933, decriminalised again in 1993 – and homosexual relationships are still legal, although President Vladimir Putin is playing populist politics with his “anti-gay propaganda” law.

As for Australia, the issue is about the “last gay right”: same-sex marriage. The new prime minister, Tony Abbott, has already said he opposes it, so there will be no new legislation there soon. But most Australian states already permit civil unions or other legal devices that effectively give same-sex partners the same legal rights as other couples.

So do most other jurisdictions in the developed world, and in the past decade sixteen countries, including almost all of Western Europe, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and sixteen US states, have gone further and legalised same-sex marriage. (So has New Zealand, just as Australia was re-banning it.)

The tipping point was passed some time ago, and the clock will not be turned back. Homosexuality is still illegal in 83 countries, but even including India they account for only one-third of the world’s people. Without India, they would have a mere sixth of the planet’s population. The global glass is more than half-full.

features It happened this week in Cranbrook Dave Hum phrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 Colonel Baker Returns …

He is pleased with the progress Cranbrook has made and says that South East Kootenay and Cranbrook will make great advancement. Colonel James Baker returned last evening from England, where he has been for the past four months visiting his old home and attending to business matters that will eventually result in material benefit to Cranbrook.

The colonel returns at this time to see his son, V. Hyde Baker, who is just recovering from a long siege of sickness, and also to be present at the opening of the legislature on the 5th of January as the representative of the riding of South East Kootenay.

A representative of The Herald called on the colonel at his home this morning and found him both looking and feeling well after his sojourn abroad. He was pleased, however, to return to Cranbrook, and expressed great surprise and pleasure at the progress the town had made since his departure last September.

Rail Accident … An unfortunate accident occurred last Saturday to the regular eastbound train that resulted in severe injuries to Engineer Robinson, Fireman Hogan and Tom Hume, the brakeman.

The train was a few miles east of Fernie when a flange on the engine broke, causing it to jump the track and tumble over in the ditch, carrying four cars with it.

The engineer was badly bruised and received a severe cut on the forehead. The fireman was badly scalded and the brakeman had one leg cut off.

Word was sent to Macleod and an engine and car was sent after the unfortunate men, who were conveyed to the Macleod hospital, where they were given every attention. It took some time to clear the track, but everything was ready for traffic the next day.

Railroad Roundhouse …

Work has commenced on the frame of a roundhouse in this city, and will be pushed rapidly forward from this time.

Magnificent Dinner …

Ryan & Morrison, of the Cranbrook Hotel, Entertain in a

Week of December 29 – January 4 Royal Manner. The most elaborate and finest dinner in every detail ever given in Cranbrook was the one served at the Cranbrook Hotel Christmas evening. Ryan & Morrison did themselves proud on that occasion, and Fred Frith, the head clerk, was happy over the results. The dining room was beautifully decorated with evergreens, under the management of Mrs. Morrison, and two large banners greeted the guests as they entered, wishing them a merry Christmas and a happy new year. The tables were arranged in the form of a hollow square, and were a dream of loveliness. The bill of fare was elaborate and extensive, every delicacy that could be procured being represented. A large number of guests participated in the feast, and everyone was loud in their praise of the hospitality of the proprietors. It was a great success and will be long remembered by those fortunate enough to be present.

The Time and Place to Buy Clothes … Cranbrook is fortunate in having a first-class tailor from the east, who has done high-class work all his life. John A. Leask has come to Cranbrook to live. He has bought property here and erected a building, and last week received the largest and finest invoice of suitings ever brought into East Kootenay. If you care what kind of clothes you wear it will do you good to see them, and it won’t cost you a cent. If you want a suit of clothes that will fit you and look well until worn out, at prices so low that they will surprise you, take advantage of the opportunity presented and call upon Mr. Leask. His place is just opposite the East Kootenay hotel.

Don’t Be A Weak Man …

Don’t let your past errors wreck the happiness of your life. You can be cured. Over 5,000 such men as you have been cured during the past year by DR. SAWDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT. This is the only sure, permanent way to regain vigour. It has taken the place of dru gs, which never cure. Electricity is life and restores life to men who have lost it. Send for the book, “THREE CLASSES OF MEN” FREE. Or call at the office and test the Belt free of charge. It means health and happiness to you. DR. D. T. SAWDEN.

1902 The Hospital ... Cranbrook has a hospital which is second to none in any town of the size, and can be justly proud of it.

The interior is well finished and laid out and provided with all modern and up to date equipments. The structure is a frame building on a stone and brick foundation, measuring 72 feet by 48, two stories high, with an attic constituting in itself another one-third story.

There is an addition to the main building measuring 20 by 30, two stories high. In this addition are the kitchen and the sisters’ refectory on the first floor, and on the second floor is the fever ward, capable of containing 12 beds, although there are actually only 10.

On the first floor of the main building are to be found an entrance hall, a parlor, two wards for patients, five private rooms and a refectory for convalescent patients.

The second floor contains the operating and surgery rooms, the drug store, a surgery ward, six private rooms with one or two beds each and a supplementary kitchen and pantry.

The third floor is chiefly occupied by the chapel, the sisters’ dormitory and a large room for the male attendants of the hospital.

The number of beds available for the patients is actually 40, but in case of necessity 45 patients could easily be accommodated.

The building is heated by hot water apparatus and is provided on each floor with bath rooms, water closets of the most modern types and lighted throughout by electricity.

The furniture is of the best kind for hospitals, and some private rooms are richly furnished.

The operating room is spacious, well lighted and equipped in the most modern style, and challenges comparison with any operating room in any hospital of the same size.

Electric Light and Telephone Plant … The Cranbrook Electric Light company limited, commenced operations early in the year of 1900. Every success has attended their efforts. Their first dynamo, with a capacity of 800 lights, was very quickly found to be inadequate to meet the demands of the public, and a new dynamo with a capacity of 1400 lights, has been on order for a long

Letters to the Editor

time and is at last enroute for Cranbrook and will be in operation at an early date. Orders are on file in the company’s office for 500 additional lights, and Superintendent F. E. Ewart is kept busy wiring hotels, stores and private residences in order to supply the additional lights as soon as the new dynamo is installed. The managing director of the company, James Ryan, known locally as “Uncle Jim,” has proved himself an excellent officer, which speaks well for the wisdom of the board of directors for having elected so able, competent and genial a gentleman to the office of managing director.

Cranbrook Sport … Since the coming of the Crow the residents of South East Kootenay have been more or less interested in amateur sports of all kinds, and in this field, as in all others, Cranbrook has ever been to the front, and as a result numberless medals and trophies attest the prowess of her adherents.

Since 1899, when the first athletic organizations were completed, she has forged steadily ahead until during the past year public interest has been aroused to a high pitch, and the different teams were liberally supported by sport loving citizens.

While the hockey and lacrosse teams did not succeed in capturing the trophies played for, they put up games that no town need be ashamed of, and which , indeed, were a credit to the individuals composing the same, when it is considered that the most of the members were trainmen and unable to attend practice as they should.

But the crowning glory of Cranbrook’s athletic successes was her 1902 baseball team.

While it has always been a hard matter for the admirers of this game to induce our citizens to furnish the necessary finances to support a team, the fact remains that since the organization of the first nine in 1899 the Cranbrooks have never been defeated on their home grounds, and the past year we had what was undoubtedly the best baseball team ever seen in British Columbia or the Northwest Territories.

The football team was probably as strong an aggregation of Association players as was ever got together in South East Kootenay, and were not defeated during the season, and in the game with Fernie, July 1, recaptured the Beattie cup, which was lost last year.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice trade Elynuik to Chiefs for defenceman Kootenay adds to defence with the acquisition of 18-year-old blueliner Tyler King from Spokane in exchange for rookie forward TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice bolstered their blue line on Tuesday, but gave up a rising young prospect as Hudson Elynuik was traded to the Spokane Chiefs for defence man Tyler King.

Kootenay has suffered on the back end with the loss of Tanner Faith, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury for the majority of the season.

Hence the deal for King, who Ice general ma nag e r Je f f Chynoweth describes as a solid puck-moving blueliner.

“We’re quite familiar with Tyler, we’ve seen him play in Spokane for the last three seasons and he just keeps getting better and better every time we see him play,” said Chynoweth.

“We just felt that he was a perfect fit for us.”

King, 18, was the

first-round pick for the Chiefs in the 2010 WHL Bantam draft, and has spent his entire career in Spokane. He has a career total of eight goals and 19 assists in 132 games over three seasons.

“I think he’s definitely the type of asset we needed when we had to improve our D,” added Chynoweth.

The Chiefs had their eye on Elynuik, and Chynoweth said letting

go of the young rookie forward was tough.

“We think Hudson has a bright future in the Western Hockey L eague,” said Chynoweth. “Obviously, he’s young, but when he’s 17 or 18 years old, he’s going to be a tough player to play against in this league.

“Unfortunately, that’s who they were looking for and we just felt that we could afford to move him, but we definitely needed a topfour defenceman in return.

Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz justified shipping King to the Ice by saying that Elynuik will add some youth to Spokane’s roster, while allowing younger defenceman to develop.

“The acquisition of Hudson Elyniuk

strengthens our organization’s 1997-born group of forwards and gives us more size at the forward position,” Speltz said in a press release. “Hudson is a talented player with the potential to be a big, skilled forward in the WHL. We are excited about Hudson’s future in Spokane.

“The trade also allows our seventeen year old defensemen the opportunity to play more, which we expect will expedite their development.”

King is expected to be in the lineup when the team travels to Medicine Hat to face the Tigers on Thursday night. Kootenay returns to home action on Friday, hosting the Swift Current Broncos at Western Financial Place.

- Bobby Ryan helped the U.S. to the silver medal in the 2010 Olympics.

Unless Ryan gets a spot for the Sochi Games to replace an injured player, he will not have a chance to help the Americans go for gold.

The U.S. Olympic hockey team was announced Wednesday after Toronto’s shootout victory over Detroit in the NHL Winter Classic.

“We did not pick the 25 best players,” general manager David Poile said. “We picked the 25 players we thought gave us a chance to win the gold medal.”

Ryan was perhaps the most surprising omission on the 25man roster. Jack Johnson and Erik Johnson, a pair of defencemen who played in the Vancouver Games, also didn’t make the cut.

Jimmy Howard, who couldn’t make enough stops to help the Red

Wings beat the Maple Leafs, appears to be the Americans’ third goaltender behind Jonathan Quick and Ryan Miller.

Miller was named MVP of the ice hockey tournament at the Vancouver Games, but he wasn’t a lock to keep a spot because Quick,

one of many players on the team who has been injured this season, has been perhaps the world’s best at stopping shots the past two seasons. Howard, Schneider, Gibson, Tim Thomas and Craig Anderson also were options for the selection committee.

Kimberley alpine racers off to a flying start Submit t ted

This past weekend Kimberley Alpine Team racers Jamie Casselman and Zoe Chore travelled to Apex Mountain in Penticton to compete in an Under 14 and 16 slalom race.

Both came back with great results to start off their competitive season. Chore had a 4th and 5th placing and Casselman won both races and brought back the first two gold medals for the club.

“It is great to see the hard work for these athletes paying off early in the season.” says Jon Blair program director of the club. He goes on to say, “These young athletes have been training hard on and off the snow since September.”

The team’s next race is in Fernie on January 10-12 where they will compete in both slalom and giant slalom races.

The U14 athletes will be vying for spots on the Kootenay zone team for

the BC Winter Games in Hemlock later this February. Blair is confident that with the great training conditions at Kimberley Alpine Resort, there will be more great results to come this season.

Former Kimberley Alpine Team members, Rebecca Bermel and Gina Norton competed at the Keurig Cup in Panorama, Dec 18-23rd.

The Keurig Cup featured U18 and U21 FIS athletes who competed in a series of 6 races in super G, giant slalom and slalom.

These two athletes had five top ten finishes over the six days. Bermel won the two women’s super g races and placed 10th in the giant slalom and Norton placed 2nd and 4th in the super G. Bermel was also invited earlier in December to forerun the women’s world cup downhill race in Lake Louise.

She has now returned home for the Christmas break but will be training with the ASCT in the new year on Kimberley Alpine Resorts newly created skier cross course. Her first skier cross race will be in Panorama later in January.

Kimberley Alpine Team is a non profit club that gives young athletes aged 5-18 years old the chance to improve all aspects of their alpine skiing. These athletes can go on to pursue events such as alpine racing, free ski competitions, moguls, skier cross and the newly added Olympic event slopestyle.

Little-known ‘sovereign citizen’ movement emerged from the shadows in 2013 Bill Gr avel and Canadian Press

The Law Society of B.C. and B.C. Notaries have both issued warnings about Freemen and the RCMP and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police are developing awareness materials for frontline officers.

Even the Canadian Security Intelligence Service is concerned. It has noted that law-enforcement agencies have seen “an increase in the number of incidents related to (Freemen) anti-government ideology in Canada.’’

“We’ve been paying attention to them,’’ said John Thompson from the Mackenzie Institute, an organization that studies terrorism, political extremism and organized crime. “They’ve become a Canadian phenomenon since about 2008. There’s several hundred of them in Ontario and they’re

CALGARY — A socalled sovereign citizen movement emerged from the shadows in 2013 with the story of a pensioner whose rental duplex was claimed as an “embassy’’ by a follower and his friends.

A week after Rebekah Caverhill of Calgary went public with her two-year struggle, authorities swooped in, arrested a man and transferred him to Quebec to face allegations that he assaulted a landlady in Montreal.

While Caverhill’s ordeal ended peacefully and she has her home back, it focused the attention of politicians, police and pundits on a movement often referred to as Freemanon-the-Land and whose members believe they live outside government control.

with agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who attempted to arrest some of the group’s members at a farm in Jordan, Mont.

It took 81 days before the heavily armed group finally surrendered.

“We brought in 300 tactical agents,’’ recalled retired FBI agent Tom Canady, who was in charge of the operation.

“They were as tough as God-damned nails. If we were to go in shooting, they probably would have loved it.’’

Montana lawyer Greg Jackson represented one of the men arrested following the standoff.

“There was no doubt they were absolutely true believers. Most of them had been people who were respected substantial businessmen and ranchers who had fallen behind in their taxes,’’ he said. “A lot of them had come pretty well disenchanted with the government.’’

Jackson remembers snipers on the courthouse rooftop during the trial over fears that militia groups were going to intervene. But he said the attraction of the Freemen movement was somewhat limited.

“The odd thing is to some extent a good share of the population could identify with them to a degree, but felt they were way too radical in terms of their beliefs and their approach.’’

Police say followers of the Freemen-on-the-

Land movement commonly claim they do not require a driver’s licence, insurance or vehicle registration. They also frequently assert a right to have weapons for self-protection and produce or possess illegal drugs, as well as demand that the Bank of Canada allow them to withdraw funds on non-existent accounts.

Other actions flagged by police include squatting in unoccupied homes or open areas, creating self-styled personal identification papers, filing lawsuits against officials and issuing a “bill for services rendered’’ after an interaction with a police officer.

In the United States, the FBI considers the movement a domestic terror threat. A 2011 FBI report cites several cases where followers clashed with law enforcement, including the 2010 shooting of two Arkansas officers during a routine traffic stop.

Thompson said Freemen don’t fall into the domestic terrorist category in Canada.

“They’re not considered too dangerous just yet,’’ he said. “But there are some police who are keeping a leery eye on them.

“In parts of the United States they’ve got more access to firearms and in Canada it’s not the same sort of thing.’’

Freemen followers say the movement is not about violence.

There were concerns in October when several armed “sovereign citizens’’ took over a trappers cabin near Grande Prairie, Alta., just weeks after Caverhill’s case made headlines. But the matter ended peacefully when RCMP moved in and made an arrest.

“Most of us are peaceful,’’ B.C. Freemen follower Brian Alexander said in an interview earlier this year. “We paid our taxes, we love our country and all that, but when they start pushing at you, you tend to start asking questions and that’s where this whole movement comes from.’’

The Alberta government has been consulting with law enforce-

ment officials in other provinces since Caverhill’s affair.

“This is a very loud, vocal, but minuscule minority,’’ said Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis, who has been sued by the group.

“These people do cause a lot of problems, but at the same time they’re not nearly as numerous as some may let on.

“If there’s anything good out of this story, I think it’s brought the issue to the forefront of public opinion. Now that this is out, I think people are less susceptible to the wiles of these people.’’

Denis said Alberta courts can now declare an individual a “vexatious litigant’’ which blocks them from taking legal action without the approval of a judge.

“They do seem to have pockets of activity throughout the country and they seem to be personality driven and inspired,’’ said Manmeet Bhullar, who until recently was the minister for Service Alberta, the department responsible for registries, land titles and consumer protection.

“A certain personality can inspire actions and create a bunch of activity in a region. It’s unfortunate the only way they can show themselves to be independent and unique is to claim they are not subject to the rights and protections and responsibilities associated with being a Canadian.’’

While Caverhill’s situation didn’t end in a standoff or violence, she was left hurt by what happened.

“I’m trying to move forward but this has impacted me like you wouldn’t believe both physically and emotionally,’’ said Caverhill, who noted she had to change her phone number recently because of harassing calls from supporters of her former renter.

“I think they’re dangerous because they have usurped the person’s right to make a choice. They are going against the laws of the country and establishing a country within a country.’’

Harper and team focus on election horizon

Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press

OTTAWA, Ont. — For a hint of just how much turmoil Stephen Harper has experienced in 2013, his official Twitter account is not a bad place to start.

In January, (at)pmharper tweeted a “Day in the Life,’’ a behind-thescenes look at his work day through pictures and video.

Only a few people get multiple cameos — former chief of staff Nigel Wright is one of them. In an early photo, Wright appears to lead a morning meeting with senior staff, and in a second talks to Harper at the end of the day under the title “Debriefing with Nigel.’’

Another tweet features then Senate Leader Marjory LeBreton, talking to Harper just before question period.

Both those figures are now gone from their positions, swept up in the Senate expenses scandal that has sucked up most of the political energy in

Ottawa in 2013. A few weeks after that successful social media experiment, the seeds of the future controversy were being sown by Wright and others around Harper.

“I think that this is going to end badly,’’ Wright commented in an email to another staff member about Duffy, only a week after the Day in the Life tweets.

It was the start of a difficult “year in the life’’ of Harper.

Wright was indeed important in Harper’s daily routine — particularly at that juncture in January.

It was Wright who helped navigate the government through the sensitive negotiations with First Nations leaders in the midst of the Idle No More movement.

A deal was reached to conduct high-level treaty talks, and Attawapiskat’s Chief Theresa Spence later ended a high-profile hunger strike.

There were other

National Post

After a tough 2013, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be gearing up for an upcoming election season. bright moments. The new Office of Religious Freedom opened in February, fulfilling an election promise to promote religious tolerance globally.

But even as the negotiations to have Duffy repay his $90,000 worth of living expenses dragged on behind closed doors, there were other challenges that erupted more publicly.

Backbench MPs began to squawk about

the controls exerted over their statements in the Commons. A dozen MPs spoke up to argue that only the speaker should determine the order and content of statements before and during question period.

MP Brent Rathgeber ultimately decided he couldn’t live within the highly controlled atmosphere of the Conservative caucus under Harper, and quit to sit as an independent in June.

That desire for increased parliamentary autonomy lives on, now embodied in the Reform Act of 2013, a private member’s bill tabled this month by well regarded Tory MP Michael Chong.

Another political and personal setback for Harper came in May with the death of former campaign guru and key advisor Doug Finley.

Finley was one of the more seasoned political hands around Harper.

Within a few weeks of Finley’s passing, Harper was to lose Wright’s counsel too.

The details of Wright’s personal repayment of Duffy’s expenses hit the political scene like a bomb, and the reverberations have still not subsided six months later.

Wright resigned, maintaining to this day that he acted in the public interest.

If Harper were to reprise his Twitter adventure of a year ago, the picture of his morning meeting would have

some important differences.

His chief of staff is now Ray Novak, his loyal longtime aide. Campaign manager Jenni Byrne is back in the PMO as Novak’s deputy. Dimitri Soudas, Harper’s former communications chief, is the recently named executive director of the Conservative Party of Canada.

All of this has the early markings of a campaign team preparing for a transition year.

Soudas in particular will need to navigate the party through a number of minefields, including the first time since 2004 that incumbent MPs will be truly challenged in open nomination battles. A number of new and reconfigured ridings entails work to be done founding and refounding riding associations, and finding suitable candidates.

Harper’s message, meanwhile, is expected to be much the same as it has been. The govern-

ment is emphasizing its fiscal record, and the fact it is on track to pay down the deficit by 2015.

“The core proposition that the prime minister’s selling and taking forward to the Canadian people is not going to be much different in 2014 as it was in 2011, which is stability, strength and principled leadership,’’ said Conservative strategist Jason Lietaer.

“I think those things will be the buzzwords.’’

Still, there is the potential for the unforeseen landmine, if 2013 was any indication.

The RCMP have not yet laid any charges, and investigators are still busy pulling documents to build their cases. More juicy affidavits are likely to come. As Harper’s favourite band The Beatles once sang, “I read the news today, oh boy.’’

Harper may well look wistfully upon his Twitter “Day in the Life’’ of January 28, 2013 as the calm before a long storm.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You or a key person in your life could become hot-tempered when dealing with an interpersonal issue. The presence of your friends might clear up who is doing what to whom. Remember, it takes two to tango.

Tonight: A dream’s realization could be on the horizon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Tension builds. As much as you might like to diffuse a situation, any action you take could prove to be problematic. Tune in to your higher self, and attempt to see the big picture. Good will could come through. Tonight: A possibility will become a reality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out for new ideas. Consider planning a vacation for you and a friend or loved one. Your ability to touch someone and calm him or her down will be more appreciated than you know. Continue being a good listener. Tonight: Surf the Web.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be more in touch with what you need than you realize. Sometimes you feel as if you give too much away, but your need to give feels good in many ways. Perhaps consider establishing stronger boundaries. Tonight: Share with a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A gentle, kind attitude will be appreciated. News could surprise many people, including you. Your ability to adapt will emerge. You’ll see the total perspective, whereas many people won’t. Someone’s words sound harsher than he or she anticipated. Tonight: Speak your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be careful with your funds and count your change. Make sure your wallet is nicely tucked away. You might want to indulge a child or loved one.

Recognize that there are other ways that do not cost much or are free. Tonight: Get into the pace of a normal week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You seem to be releasing pentup feelings. You easily could snap at a family member over a domestic issue. A close associate might be unpredictable, which is one of the reasons you are disgruntled. Recognize where the problem comes from.

Tonight: Let off some steam.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be tense over a domestic matter or a misunderstanding with a roommate or family member. Express your concern about what is happening without expectations of a response. Be patient. Tonight: At home with a good book.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A friend easily could lose his or her cool. Your ability to communicate can and will make a difference here. Don’t allow this person to intimidate you. A close friend or loved one could point you toward a new venture or interest. Tonight: Hang out with a family member.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have. You might not be comfortable with every-

thing that is going down. Your finances demand attention and precision. A family member once more could make demands that you might feel you can’t meet. Tonight: Pay bills first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Many thoughts might be going through your mind. You would be wise not to discuss all of them, as you tend to go back and forth between ideas.

Someone from a distance could be irritable. Use caution with this person. Tonight: Someone wants to court you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to someone else, and know full well how this person will approach what you deem a difficult situation. Once this individual walks in your shoes, he or she will have great respect for you, your decisions and how you handle challenges. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been married to my lovely wife for nine years, and to this day, I can’t get past her gambling habit. It is causing major problems in our marriage.

Once or twice a week when she gets that itch to head to the casino, she loses all the money she earns in our account and then accumulates bank fees and overdraft charges. I’m fed up with her habit and have mentioned that this must stop. She has promised me many times that she will quit, but she hasn’t been successful.

Once I let her go to the casino and told her to spend only a certain amount, and she ended up gambling away $1,000, which she never replaced. I was upset and didn’t speak to her for a few days.

I will be deploying overseas soon, and I’m afraid to leave her to handle our financial affairs. I want to ask my brother to put her on an allowance to pay our bills, but I know she will be upset and ask me to move out. I don’t want to do that. What should I do? -- Totally Fed Up Dear Totally: Your wife has an addiction.

Stopping will be impossible unless she admits she has a problem and agrees to get help. Some addicts voluntarily list their names with casinos to prohibit admittance, although it is not a guarantee.

We urge you to separate your accounts so she cannot access money needed to run the household, and put your brother in charge of paying the bills. She may become angry, but your marriage will not survive her continued gambling and the potential loss of your savings. Please contact Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) for additional information and support.

Dear Annie: Your advice to couples about affairs has a very negative female bias. A little flirting and an affair or two is normal behavior for both men and women.

Your usual advice is to get counseling or break up the relationship. I would advise them to just ignore it. They could have many years of a happy relationship with each other. Why don’t you suggest that alternative?

-- D. Dear D.: Most of our readers aren’t big fans of that alternative, whether male or female.

If both partners agree that affairs are perfectly fine within their marriage, we have no objection. Or if one partner chooses to overlook the other’s philandering, the couple might stay together, although they are not necessarily happy. In most cases, however, affairs are sneaky betrayals full of lies, and one partner loses out on the intimacy and trust that keep a marriage solid. The partner who cheats may believe the marriage is sufficiently happy, but our mail says otherwise.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Finally at Peace,” who now focuses on the grandchildren they are “close” to instead of mourning the ones they are not.

My husband and I have four beautiful, successful and intelligent children. When our oldest was an infant, my mother-in-law told me that she was not available to babysit, so we didn’t impose. It was difficult to watch Grandma and Grandpa travel many miles to babysit for their other grandchildren and attend their plays and ballgames, while showing little interest in ours, no matter how many times we invited them. When we had them over for Sunday dinner, we had to listen while Grandpa bragged endlessly about his other grandchildren.

Our children have been taught to treat their grandparents with love and respect, but kids catch on to favoritism. I suggest that those grandparents examine their own behavior to see whether they need to change. I’m still hoping my in-laws will realize what they are missing. -- Hope To Be a Better Grandparent Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituary Marie Emma Fernande (Fern) Helland (nee Dufresne) Marie Emma Fernande (Fern) Helland (nee Dufresne), passed away December 24, 2013 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with her family at her side.

Fern was born January 27, 1932 in Legal, AB. She left with loving memory her son Graig (Ladine), daughter Michele, grandsons; Jonathan (Stephanie), Brant (Corryn), Daven (Melissa), great granddaughter Leanna, sisters; Georgette (Cam), Pauline (Richard), brother-in-law Roal and sister-in-law Elenor, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by her parents Arthur and Louise, sister Jeannette, brother Rolland, and loving husband Carl.

Fern moved to Kimberley when she was 9, not speaking a word of English. As a young adult, she worked for Imperial Oil in Edmonton and came back to Kimberley where she married Carl Helland August 27, 1955.

Fern was a stay-at-home mom spending numerous hours chauffeuring Graig to his many hockey games and practices and Michele to her sports events and piano lessons.

Fern loved to golf and thoroughly enjoyed their numerous trips to Las Vegas.

Family and friends will dearly miss her but she will live forever in our hearts.

There will be a Celebration of Life for family and friends at the Elks Hall on Saturday, January 4th from 1:00 3:00 p.m.
