Nature Trust crews perform hands-on environmental work Robin Rivers

“What interested me in the crew position first of all was the overall goal of The Nature Trust. I am currently attending a diploma program at Selkirk College in Environmental Planning,” said Cody Fernandes of the Kootenay HSBC Conservation Youth Crew.

“I saw The Nature Trust as a very valuable opportunity to gain insight towards the strategies that are used to acquire property and what prescriptions are implemented to maintain their structure.”

The Nature Trust of British Columbia hires crews each summer to tackle a wide variety of conservation activities on properties across the province and learn valuable skills for future employment. Training includes First Aid and Bear Aware as well as the safe handling of

power tools.

“Over the summer I learned that when dealing with conservation properties everything takes time and you cannot always see the final product instantly,” says Cody.

“Prescriptions take time and it is important to pass the knowledge and techniques from one summer crew to the next so the ecosystems can fully benefit from the efforts put fourth each summer. Trees and shrubs don’t develop or grow overnight, and knapweed doesn’t just disappear after you pull it. It is important to monitor specific areas seasonally to maintain the desired integrity of the properties.”

The crews perform on-the-ground work as well as attending workshops from specialists in the field on topics such as bird counts, and forest and wetland ecolo-

gy. They also contribute to the local community in a variety of ways.

This year the crew installed a kiosk at the Wigwam Flats to inform hikers of the importance of the property to the local ecosystem. As well, they created a new gate and parking area at the Sheep Mountain property to accommodate the high population of anglers and hikers who frequent the area.

The crew alswo created floating anchored logs to help increase habitat for Painted Turtles at Elizabeth Lake which is a popular area for families to recreate and view the turtles within Cranbrook city limits.”

“At the beginning of the summer I was hoping to gain knowledge and experience in an environmental workplace in the Kootenays,” explains Cody. “Now at the end of the summer I

can say I have gained so much more than that.”

“My favourite activity was thinning the dense growth of fir and spruce on the Columbia Lake East Conservation property where logging had previously occurred in an effort to increase Bighorn Sheep habitat for a herd that resides in the area.”

When asked about his future plans, Cody says, “I will be finishing my diploma in the Integrated Environmental Planning program and Selkirk College.”

In 2014, HSBC Conservation Youth Crews are operating on Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, South Okanagan, East Kootenay, and Peace River.

The Nature Trust is pleased to have HSBC Bank Canada as the title sponsor of the HSBC Conservation Youth Crew Program for the ninth year. Other spon-

sors include BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Canada Summer Jobs (Service Canada), The Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, Great-West Life, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and The Tony Cartledge Fund.

As a leading non profit land conservation organization, The Nature Trust of British Columbia is dedicated to protecting BC’s natural diversity of plants and animals through the acquisition and management of critical habitats.

Since 1971 The Nature Trust along with our partners has invested more than $80 million to secure over 70,000 hectares (173,000 acres) across British Columbia.

His last post as Building and Protective Services manager was an era of change.

Cranbrook has a new Apprentice Advisor to provide on-the-ground support and guidance for local apprentices and employers.

Marlin Ratch will begin his role as Apprenticeship Advisor at the end of September 2014. His role will also focus on recruiting and supporting Aboriginal apprentices within local communities.

The Apprenticeship Advisors serve as an extension of the Industry Training Authority Customer Support team.

They have the primary responsibility of providing regional support to apprentices and sponsors, and according to the authority, create a positive impact on continuation and completion rates for apprenticeship.

Ratch has a background in Red Seal Chef training. He has sat on several labour market boards.

Marlin is one of the six new Apprenticeship Advisors adding to the existing four Advisors already in place in the province.

By the end of September, the authority will have 10 Apprenticeship Advisors. They are located in Cranbrook, Dawson Creek, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Terrace, the Lower Mainland and Victoria.

The advisor initiative came as a result of a province-wide consultation into apprenticeship supports in 2013, and included input from multiple stakeholders.

RDEK plan details boosting local agriculture T r e vo r C r aw l e y

Agriculture is very much a part of the East Kootenay region, and with that in mind, the RDEK had a chance to review a draft report for an agricultural plan on Thursday.

Presented by Dave Struthers of VAST Resource Solutions Inc, the report detailed recommendations that included enhancing institutional support for agriculture, improving the economic viability of agriculture, encouraging agricul-

ture on Agriculture Land, increasing public knowledge and support of agriculture and setting up a regional agri-food system strategy.

“There’s some very solid recommendations in the plan and it’ll move now to the public and come back to the board in probably a month,” said Area C director Rob Gay. “…I don’t know if there’s many surprises in it. I think we all realize that that industry struggled over the last few years. The largest

portion of producers in our area are beef-operators and I think the last two years — and I’m hoping this year — that prices have finally come up, but for a long time, prices were low. So low, in fact, that many people cut back on the size of their herds and the crown land leases were vacant for a few years.”

Hiring a agricultural liaison officer — someone who can navigate regulations and support agricultural initiatives in the region — was also one of the recommen-

dations.

“One of the big recommendations was a agriculture advisory person, because many people like to try a different crop or a different way to raise animals or the latest in the technology around it and they don’t have access to that information,” Gay said.

“In the past, the Ministry of Agriculture used to have these liaison officers that would work one-on-one with a rancher or farmer, but they don’t exist any

more, so the report is suggesting that we find some funds and hire someone to do the work, so that’s something we’ll have to take very seriously.”

Other issues identified in the report include succession plans, as Gay added that young people are leaving family ranching and farming operations because of the uncertain financial returns and the economic instability around the agriculture industry.

Farmers are also getting

creative in growing different kinds of crops, which can run into restrictive regulatory problems, Gay continued.

The agriculture plan is not intended to result in new regulations or review boundaries of the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The public has up to September 24 to provide comment or feedback on the plan. A public meeting will be held at the Jaffray Community Hall on Monday, Sept. 8 from 7-9 p.m. to present the plan.

Cranbrook council hopes new four-way stop leads to safer intersection Arne Petryshen

The intersection of Panorama Road and 30th Avenue North has for a longtime been a three way intersection, but it is now a four-way stop. A report originally came to council from the Cranbrook In Motion committee recommending that 30th Ave N become a through road to match some similar nearby roads

that come onto 30th.

The request to change the intersection originally came from a retired RCMP accident specialist who recommended a four-way stop.

The intersection in question is currently a three-way stop with a through street coming down the hill.

A number of residents of the Panorama

Heights neighbourhood sent council their worries, talking about the dangers of having the stop sign at the bottom of the hill, which they say gets icy in the winter.

Ed and Carole Oakley said in the past 36 years living there, they have had lots of close calls. They said if there was a stop sign at the bottom of the hill, they are sure there would

P U B L I C H E A R I NG N O T I C E Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3807, 2014”.

The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will change several sections of the “City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012”. The purpose of the amendment is to update permitted uses and regulations, provide consistent terminology between use definitions and applicable commercial and industrial zones, and update parking requirements for specific uses. In addition, zoning references to the Building Bylaw and Sign Bylaw are updated with current numbers.

The proposed amendments will be within the following sections of the zoning bylaw: Part 3 – Definitions Part 6 – Parking and Loading Requirements Part 7 – Zones: Community Commercial Zone C-1 Comprehensive Development Zone CD-2 Highway Commercial Zone C-2 Mixed Commercial Residential Zone C-4 Clean Industrial Zone M-1 Light Industrial Zone M-2 Tourist Commercial Zone C-6 Heavy Industrial and Transportation Zone M-3 “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3807, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until September 15, 2014, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the City Hall Council Chamber, 40 – 10th Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 15th day of September, 2014.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

have been a serious accident.

In a letter to the Oakleys Mayor Wayne Stetski explained that the Cranbrook in Motion committee recommendation to city council was based off of a December 2013 ICBC report. It is meant to mirror the intersections at the bottom of the hills at 30th Avenue North and Park Royal and Mt. Fisher Drive. Those have stop signs on the access streets and a throughway on 30th Ave. “There has been a three way stop sign at that intersection for

many, many years,” said Mayor wAyne Stetski at the Aug. 18 council meeting. “As you’re coming down from Panorama there was no stop sign at the bottom.”

Stetski said the RCMP specialist witnessed a number of close calls on the intersection.

“People are not expecting three-way stops, people are expecting four-way stops,” he said.

But the study recommended changing 30th to a through street.

Stetski said residents are worried that the changes could lead to

serious accidents because of the difficulty in stopping in the winter months.

Council referred the request to engineering.

“Basically, and rightfully so, it’s not up to this department to make recommendations that may go against this committee’s recommendations and council’s resolution,” he said, “We have traffic engineers to refute the decisions of council.”

Stetski said his granddaughter’s paper route brings him to that intersection once a week. He said from his

P U B L I C H E A R I NG N O T I C E Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adoption of “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3810, 2014”.

The proposed amendment results from an application by the owners of Rivers Crossing (formerly Shadow Mountain) to amend the regulations for secondary suites for the Single Family Residential District - Small Lot, and the Single Family Residential District - Estate, within “Comprehensive Development Zone 3: CD-3 – Shadow Mountain”.

Specifically, the proposed amendment of the Zoning Bylaw will change the permissible size of a secondary suite from a maximum of 25% of the total floor area of the principle dwelling unit, or 46 m2, whichever is less, to a maximum of 40% of the total floor area of the principle dwelling unit, or 90 m2, whichever is less.

The purpose of the zoning amendment is to increase the maximum permitted secondary suite size.

The proposed amendment for secondary suites is specific to the two single family residential districts of Rivers Crossing.

“City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3810, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until September 15, 2014, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall, or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 40 - 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 15th day of September, 2014.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

experience there the best solution for the future would be a four way stop.

The difference, he said, is the curve in the street as you come down from Panorama, as compared to the other two intersection at Mt. Fisher Drive and Park Royal Drive.

Stetski put forward a motion to make the intersection a four-way stop.

The intersection originally became a three-way stop sign prior to becoming a part of the city.

“The maintenance on that hill was not what it could have been,” Stetski said. He added that from speaking with residents, if the city agreed to make the street a priority for plowing in the winter they would be willing to compromise about the four-way stop.

The motion on the four-way stop was approved.

The Sam Steele Society is pleased to announce the lucky winners of the 2014 Sam Steele Days Photo Contest, Ryan and Mary McFarlane of Cranbrook.

A photo of son Lucas McFarlane, the now six-month old boy with big blue eyes, was captured by father Ryan while contently waiting for the Sam Steele Days Parade and brandishing an adorable moustache laden soother in his mouth.

Ryan sent the photo to proud Grandma Mel McFarlane who promptly entered it in the contest, with parent’s permission.

A committee of eight chose the photo out of the many entries that were submitted following the biggest Sam Steele Days community festival that the City of Cranbrook has ever seen, in celebration of the festival’s 50 year milestone.

In addition to the $50 prize, the photo of “Little Boy Blue”, Lucas McFarlane, will snag the centre spot on the 6th panel of the “Faces of Sam Steele” photo collage, reserved for all the images collected from the 50th celebration of the festival, including all others submitted for the contest.

The photo collage will be on public display prior to and during every Sam Steele Days until a permanent exhibit location can be secured.

Province all but rules out BCTF call for binding arbitration Minister wants proposal details, firm on wage increases Jeff Nagel Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender all but ruled out a call today from the B.C. Teachers Federation for binding arbitration to end the teachers strike.

BCTF president Jim Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike and returning to work.

Fassbender said he does not categorically reject the idea, adding the government team needs to see the detailed proposal in writing.

“I’ve never been a fan of binding arbitration,” he said, adding handing over control to a third party risks an outcome that compromises B.C.’s balanced budget and unacceptably damages the province’s finances.

He remained firm that the province wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

“The one and only option that I believe strongly makes sense is for both parties to be at the table, for the B.C. Teachers Federation to become realistic in their wage and benefit proposal, and then for us to negotiate, mediate the other items that are still at the table.”

Fassbender also made it clear he wasn’t happy that Iker gave the government’s negotiator just five minutes warning of the offer, with no details.

Iker, in a live-streamed statement to teachers and the media, called binding arbitration the “fastest and most fair option that will see schools open and our kids back in the classroom.”

He accused the province of “delay tactics” and criticized attacks delivered on Twitter.

“This government has put up road blocks,” Iker said Friday.

Among his preconditions

is that the province drop its proposed E80 clause, which allows either side to dodge the effect of a future appeal court ruling against them on class size and special needs resources.

“Their attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement,” Iker said.

Earlier in the week, government negotiator Peter Cameron said arbitration was undesirable, not just because of the financial risk to government, but because it takes the decision out of the hands of both the government and the BCTF. “The parties end up not really having made the hard decisions and owning the outcome,” he said. “And it involves a third party, who would likely be a labour relations person rather than an educator, making educational decisions.”

The B.C. Liberals learned the risks of binding arbitration the hard way, from a budget-busting award handed down just days before they were preparing to present their first fiscal plan to the provincial legislature.

The date was Feb. 8, 2002. Arbitrator Allan McEachern, ruling in a process that had commenced under the previous New Democratic Party government, granted an interim fee increase to doctors that ended up costing the provincial treasury hundreds of millions of dollars.

“Astounding,” said then-finance minister Gary Collins. “I don’t know how the arbitrator expects the people of the province to come up with that amount of money. We have to get some sense of sanity about what the people can afford.”

Though McEachern didn’t fully cost the impact of his award, the finance ministry would later peg it as a 20-per-cent fee increase that added up to $400 million annually.

The Liberals had clearly expected a more sympathetic outcome from McEachern, having endorsed him as arbitrator in the fee dispute not long after taking office.

“His integrity and stature ensures doctors’ issues will be resolved as quickly and fairly as possible,” they said in agreeing that the former chief justice was the right man for the job.

Especially galling was the way he appeared to have disregarded the guidelines governing his own process.

The New Democrats, in establishing the framework that would send the fee dispute to arbitration, had wisely insisted that the terms of reference “will include the objective of ... reflecting the financial circumstances of government.”

Mindful of that guideline, the Liberals had taken steps to ensure that the arbitrator would recognize that those circumstances were dire.

Finance minister Collins and then-

health minister Colin Hansen spent several hours one day in the summer of 2001 briefing McEachern on government’s inability to fund a major fee increase for doctors or anyone else.

“Certainly, the minister of finance was very open and very frank with Mr. McEachern,” Hansen would later tell the legislature. “It was a very good discussion about the state of the province’s finances and the challenges we’re facing.”

But if ever a government needed reminding that arbitrators take their independence seriously, there it was in the pages of McEachern’s more-than-200page ruling.

That notion that the award should reflect government’s financial circumstances?

Vaughn McEachern acknowledged clause in his Palmer terms ofthe reference, only to brush it aside.

“We cannot ignore the words of our jurisdiction which requires us to reflect the financial circumstances of government,” the former chief justice wrote. “(But) government cannot expect that it would seek to arbitrate reasonable compensation and then say that reasonable compensation cannot be paid because of its financial circumstances.”

McEachern was persuaded by the evidence presented by the doctors that their fees were falling behind those of neighbouring Alberta, risking an exodus at the very time that B.C. was experiencing a shortage of qualified physicians.

“We must not be deterred by the enormous numbers that arise in this case,” he wrote.

“The government can’t afford NOT to pay reasonable compensation if medicare is to be defended as required by law and the health needs of the public.”

As to funding the necessary increase, McEachern pointed to the proven options from years gone by. “For many years, the government has financed medical services

by a combination of revenue and deficit financing,” he observed. “There’s no doubt that government can fund any award that we may make by a variety of means at its disposal, painful as they may be.”

Taking the hint, Collins hastily redrafted his budget to boost the provincial sales tax by half a point, and he also increased medicare premiums and the tobacco tax.

“Raising taxes is pretty much the last thing that this government ever wanted to do or ever intended to do,” said Collins, with a nod to the 25-per-cent reduction in income taxes announced by the Liberals on their first day in office.

The sales tax increase would remain in place for almost three years. The boost in tobacco taxes and premiums remain in place to this day, compounded by subsequent increases.

The Liberals then legislated an end to the still-uncompleted arbitration process, ensuring the interim award would be the end of McEachern’s generosity to the province’s doctors. By government reckoning, the windfall amounted to an average of almost $50,000 annually for each of the province’s 8,000 or so doctors.

The Liberals also gained a profound dislike for arbitration, an attitude very much on display in their response Friday to the latest from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

“We’ve seen the history of that in this province where it has significantly impacted taxpayers in a negative way,” said Peter Fassbender, dismissing the BCTF call for a limited form of arbitration in its dispute with government.

A reference to the 2002 experience with doctors? “Exactly,” replied Fassbender.

“That was a case where the experience in binding arbitration was not one that served the province of B.C. and the taxpayers.”

Never again, in other words. And so the strike continues.

Ice buried in Kennewick Kootenay winless in pre-season after rough trip to Tri-City

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It was a rough weekend for the Kootenay Ice in Kennewick, Wa. as the team dropped both of its final WHL exhibition contests in the TriCity area.

Friday afternoon, it was the Portland Winterhawks scraping out a 5-3 victory over the Ice. Saturday afternoon, it was the Everett Silvertips burying the Ice 8-2.

we want to make sure we’re doing this week in practice, from [what we saw on] the weekend, is being competitive in one-on-one situations,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone following the Saturday’s loss. “I think we have a little bit of a ways to go in that with some of our guys.

“We need to teach them that to play in this league you have to be ultra-competitive when you’re battling for loose pucks and trying to get position on people.”

The Ice fell to 0-3-0 in pre-season action this year, including Thursday’s 5-4 loss at the hands of the Tri-City Americans.

In Kootenay’s final pre-season game in Kennewick, the Silvertips jumped out to a 4-0 lead through 20 minutes of play and never looked back.

Kohl Bauml tallied the third marker for the Silvertips in the first period. It would stand as the game-winning goal as Everett cruised to victory.

Jayden Sittler faced the flurry between the pipes from start to finish Saturday afternoon, allowing eight goals on 31 shots for Kootenay.

At the other end of the rink, Austin Lotz and Mario Petit split crease time with Lotz

turning aside all 11 shots he faced. Petit surrendered two goals on the six shots directed his way.

According to McGill, Sittler fell victim to a bad bounce on the first goal, a result of a quick change of puck possession.

“You’ve got to be ready when the puck is in the zone at all times, whether you have possession or not,” McGill said. “It was a flukey goal.

“As a goaltender, you’ve got to have real thick skin. You’ve got to move on quickly and refocus so you’re not putting yourself in position to lose your confidence.”

McGill’s plan prior to the start of the weekend was to play each of his three netminders for one full game each, which is exactly the plan he stuck to. Unfortunately for Sittler, that made Saturday a long day.

Friday evening, Keelan Williams earned the start between the pipes for the Ice who fell behind in similar fashion against the Portland Winterhawks.

Trailing 4-1, Kootenay staged a late-game comeback that ultimately came up just short. The Winterhawks got away with a 5-3 victory after Oliver Bjorkstrand added a late empty-net goal.

Williams stopped 27

of 31 shots in the contest.

“He was square to the puck, he made some solid saves,” McGill said of Williams Friday evening. “He is a big guy in the net and looked comfortable.”

The team will practice this week at Western Financial Place in preparation for two final exhibition games in the Crowsnest Pass this weekend.

Friday, Sept. 12, the Ice head to Blairmore, Alta. where they will face the Lethbridge Hurricanes at 7 p.m.

The team closes out the 2014 WHL pre-season Sunday, Sept. 14 at 2 p.m. in Blairmore against the Calgary Hitmen.

The Hitmen are 2-2-0 thus far in the 2014 WHL pre-season.

The team’s first loss came Aug. 29 in Regina, as the Pats slipped past the Hitmen 6-5. On Saturday, Calgary hosted Medicine Hat and the Tigers escaped with a 4-2 victory.

The Hitmen’s two losses have been offset by two victories, one of monumental proportions.

The Prince Albert Raiders visited Calgary Aug. 30 and were thumped 12-3 by the hosts. Calgary then rode that momentum to a 5-3 victory in Lethbridge Sept. 5.

The Kimberley Dynamiters and Fernie Ghostriders battled to a 3-3 draw Saturday night in KIJHL pre-season action at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The game marked the second in 48 hours between the two Eddie Mountain Division rivals after the Nitros edged the Ghostriders 5-2 at the Fernie Memorial Arena Friday night.

“We came out kind of flat,” said Kimberley head coach Jerry Bancks following the Saturday affair. “We had some players that had played three games in four nights and it kind of showed. I thought we played well in the third period, though they got a goal. But I think we played more our game.

“I’m happy with where we’re at. I saw lots of growth as a team over the three nights and that’s what you hope for in exhibition games.”

Veteran forward Jason Richter opened the scoring in the first period with a quick shot that slipped through the arm of Ghostriders netminder Brandon Youngson.

The Nitros lead didn’t last long as Tayler Sincennes knotted things 1-1 with a breakaway effort that eluded

Kimberley goaltender Tyson Brouwer.

The two teams exchanged goals in the second period before Dynamiters forward Marco Campanella restored Kimberley’s lead late in the frame.

The veteran forward also added an assist in the contest. “[The Ghostriders] are really exciting to play,” Campanella said Saturday night. “You definitely cannot play bad. You definitely get fired up.”

With 6:40 remaining in the third period, Sincennes added his second of the night, going high glove over Brouwer to knot the game 3-3.

Despite the tie game, the Nitros outshot the Ghostriders by a final tally of 31 to 17 on the evening.

Tyson Brouwer went the distance in net for Kimberley, while Youngson and Jeff Orser split duties for the Ghostriders.

Though he didn’t suit up in Saturday’s tilt after being suspended Friday night in Fernie, 17-year-old forward Coy Prevost was returned to the team from the Saskatoon Blades late this week, adding further depth to a Dynamiters roster boasting plenty of talent up front.

“I’ve known Coy since [he was in] Grade

6,” Bancks said. “We’re going to be a younger team. He’s a very mature 17-year-old. He’s physically strong, powerful.

He’s going to help us a lot.”

Next up, the Dynamiters travel to Invermere Monday night to face the Columbia Valley Rockies in the final pre-season tune up of 2014.

According to Bancks, the team plans to reassign players following Monday’s game. The goal is to pare the roster down to 22 bodies ahead of the KIJHL regular season opener Saturday, Sept. 13 against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in Kimberley. As it stands, with the addition of Prevost, the Nitros are carrying 28 players.

The Dynamiters and Rockies previously opened the exhibition season Sept. 3 in Kimberley. It was all Dynamiters in that one, as the home team knocked around the visitors en route to a 6-1 victory.

“If we win that game big, we’re going to have lots of confidence going into the season,” Campanella said. “[It’s going to take] hard compete. Bear down, win battles [and] play hard.”

Puck drop in Invermere is slated for 7:30 p.m.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My daughter, “Nina,” suffers from depression. Recently, I went to Seattle to help Nina and her husband move to Texas. It was our family’s hope that I could get her to come back east with me to get her mental health issues straightened out.

Nina was diagnosed with depression when she was in high school. When she is on adequate amounts of an antidepressant, she is a vibrant, intelligent, caring “normal” person. Lately, it has become obvious to us and also to her friends that she is depressed again. But our son-in-law insists that her depression is situational and will clear up on its own. He says she is running away from her adult responsibilities by taking antidepressants.

We worry that Nina’s depression is not being treated and believe this is emotional abuse. Her husband has threatened that if she stays with us, he will divorce her. We are trying to keep in contact, but Nina’s husband won’t allow her to travel by herself, and he certainly has no interest in spending family holidays with us after that last visit.

What can we do? My son thinks we may never see Nina again. -- Concerned Mom Dear Mom: Your son-in-law has it exactly backward. Those who commit to an effective program of antidepressants are trying very hard to take “adult responsibility” for their behavior. By encouraging Nina to disregard what is in her best interests, he is putting her life at risk. Unfortunately, without Nina’s cooperation, there is little you can do.

It’s also possible that your son-in-law truly believes the move was the main contributing factor to Nina’s depression, and he may change his tune if the depression doesn’t lift. Don’t let your son-in-law dictate how often you stay in touch with Nina.

Your calls and visits are important. Meanwhile, please contact NAMI (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI and ask about their Family-to-Family program.

Dear Annie: I have recently attended a number of excessively long weddings. They begin with the ceremony, followed by an extended cocktail hour while the bridal party takes pictures, followed by dinner and then dancing. Even if we leave right after dinner is served, we’ve spent at least six hours at these events.

While I am excited to celebrate with the bride and groom, this is a lot to ask of a guest. I try to be patient, but by the end of the evening, I’m usually frustrated by what feels like indifference to the guests’ enjoyment. Are there rules that wedding planners could use when arranging the festivities? -- Jay Dear Jay: Wedding planners can only advise the bride and groom, and the best ones will keep the couple apprised of the timing. Couples who take photographs before the ceremony begins can shave an hour or more off the time, but some traditions keep couples from seeing each other until they walk down the aisle. The bottom line is, the couple may want the festivities to last through the night, but you are not obligated to stay any longer than you are comfortable doing. If that means you leave before dinner is served, so be it.

Dear Annie: I have yet one more perspective on why someone might let oneself be fat. I have long realized that not only did I not want to be ogled by men, but I was also trying to increase my substance in the world. Always feeling small and insignificant, I felt I needed to “have some weight to throw around.”

I was never abused, but I always felt shy, passed over and unimportant. I wanted to feel “bigger.” I couldn’t get taller, so I increased my body size. I felt better as I got bigger. I liked it. But I do realize that I should go to therapy to find another way to achieve those feelings. -- Big Girl Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
