There had been concerns about the sale of the 9.6 hectare property. Those included concern about the
proposed use of on-site sewage systems rather than city sewer, potential impact to the rural character of the St. Mary Valley, potential impact to badger habitat (red-listed species) and on other wildlife habitat and corridors, impact of the driveways on traffic on St. Mary Lake Road, and concerns about transparency and public engagement.

Renovations underway at SPCA New kennels, ventilation system will create healthier environment for shelter’s furry tenants
Tr e vo r C r awl ey Townsman Staff
Renovations are underway at the BC SPCA East Kootenay, as work will be ongoing until the New Year that will create a healthier environment for the animals. The building is getting a new ventilation system, while some rooms are being expanded and remodelled to meet the needs of the staff and the animals. Other additions — yet equally as important — are coming as well, such as an industrial sized sink and additional kennels, according to Brenna
Baker, the manager for the BC SPCA East Kootenay location. “The problem was, we’ve had so much sickness in here, upper respiratory infection and it just spreads, it carries from people cleaning because we don’t have the ventilation,” said Baker. “A couple times this past year, we’ve had all our cat rooms closed to adoption because all of the cats have been sick, so it was not ideal at all. “Hopefully with these renos, it’s going to make a huge difference with the health of the animals, the health of the employees and vol-

unteers. “It’s not going to create more space, but it’ll create a healthier environment for sure.” The renovations are being funded by grants as money has flowed in from Community Initiatives, the Columbia Basin Trust and the RDEK. Baker estimates that the renovations will come in at under $50,000 while an additional $30,000 is going towards equipment such as cat kennels. Specifically, the renovations will involve knocking out a wall in a room housing kittens and cats and replacing it so the two rooms are more proportionally sized. Wooden kennels are being replaced by stainless steel ones. The shelter is building an intake room, where cats can be examined and vaccinated before going in with the rest of the population. “When animals come in, we’ll do all their initial assessment, we make sure there’s no ringworm and we do all

sick animals can be quarantined. Ventilation is also being added to the crematorium. New cat kennels will be arriving that are unique because it separates their living area and litter box with a connector between the two for the cats to move back and forth. Other equipment includes a commercial sink for employees to wash dishes as well as a new bathtub to wash the animals.
Baker emphasizes that the SPCA doesn’t get any government funding and that most of the money goes towards operations and staffing costs. That’s why the renovations are such a big deal. “These are the things that have gotten behind and to me, this is really important to the health of the animals and the employees and volunteers is we need to have this shelter up to par
and it’s far below standards,” said Baker. “It’ll improve the care of the animals and we’ll be able to do a better job and do what we preach. It’s hard when we don’t have a proper facility. “The animals are being well-cared for, but some of the rooms were unhealthy.” Anyone wishing to make a private donation to the SPCA can contact Baker at (250) 426-6751.
Coles hosting book signing for local author Townsman Staff
There are a few authors that call Cranbrook home and Grant McDowell is one of them. McDowell, who has lived in the Key City with his family for the last year and a half, will be holding a book-signing at Coles in the Tamarack Centre on Saturday, Nov. 29 from noon to 4 p.m. McDowell is the author of two Christian-based books titled Bruised Knuckles and Other Lessons in Faith, along with Please God, Let There Be Another Boom. Both books were published around the
end of 2011. For Bruised Knuckles, McDowell wrote 31 short chapters about managing emotions, seizing hope, and building healthy relationships, among other topics. Please God, Let There Be Another Boom came as an extension from his doctoral dissertation. It subjects include faith and how it integrates with the workplace and building workplace relationships. “The first one, I started to write because I thought that someday I’d like to be able to hand my children as they grew up, some-
thing that talked about practical implications of good character and faith, and it grew from there into a project where I thought this could be a much broader target audience,” said McDowell. After working on his doctoral dissertation, McDowell decided to turn his research into another project. “I took that material and converted a good part of the thesis into a book and I was just inspired by knowing many, many people who make such a good contribution to their work or workplace but often don’t get celebrated at all,” he said.

Jackrabbit season As December approaches the annual migration of rabbits up to the Kimberley Nordic Club is about to begin. Jackrabbits that is. The KNC’s children’s cross country ski programs begin this year on December 7 and registration is still open. Jackrabbits is a 12-week program for children ages 4 to 14, every Sunday at 1:30 throughout the winter and is a great value at only $70. Application forms are
available online, go to kimberleynordic.org under the tag LESSONS AND PROGRAMS for more details on signing up your child. Young skiers will get lessons on the fundamentals of cross country skiing from certified instructors. Having fun is a major component of this program and much of the instruction is play based. Jackrabbits also promotes the idea of embracing cross country skiing a lifelong activity and making fit-
ness a lifestyle choice. Older skiers age 8-13 can join the Track Attack program, which slowly introduces Jackrabbits to training and racing. Highlights of the season include participation in the Kootenay Cup, the Bavarian Relays and ski orienteering. Ski rentals are available in limited amounts, at reasonable prices. Application forms are also available at Togs in Kimberley.

2014 saw Sarah compete at four Nationally Recognized Competitions in Canada and the USA, yielding results that placed her at the top in each competition. She is now in the top 10 Para-Equestrian riders in Canada. Next trial: the short list and Canada’s Olympic Team. The Olympic stretch for excellence takes devotion and precision training to up the ante and secure a win. Someone like Jessica Wisdom, recent USA National Grand Prix Champion (http://www.eqequestrian.com/) is just the right person to have on Sarah’s team. Jessica Wisdom is coming to town December 6 and 7. She will conduct a dressage clinic hosted by Riverbend Equestrian Centre at Wycliffe. To secure a spot on the short list, Sarah will be riding against some pretty stiff competition and there’s not much funding at this stage. Sarah has to finance everything on

33rd season for Home Bylaws adopted for fourGrown Music Society house development
For the Bulletin
Home Grown Music coffee houses have been happening since 1982 at Centre 64. A few things have changed. There are no tables around the room to sit and drink coffee while the show is on; the show now takes place in the theatre. The price has changed from $2 to $8, but the format remains the same. Doors open at 7:30 pm, show starts promptly at 8 pm, there are eight acts (unless there is a last minute cancellation) and an intermission. The concept when first started was to provide a venue where locals could perform in front of a live audience and other than paying the rent and updating sound equipment the ticket prices would be kept to a minimum so anyone could attend. This practice still continues. The organizers (Read: Carol Fergus, who has been the driving force behind Home Grown for many years) draw on talent from Kimberley and throughout the valley to perform.
The variety of performers has been endless and the opportunity to be on stage is given to young and old. Home Grown Music is a non-profit organization, and contributes the ticket sale money after expenses back into the community. At the coffee house this Saturday evening, Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank will benefit. For the past 25 years or more, the last show prior to Christmas season has been designated for the Helping Hands Food bank and patrons are invited to bring a non-perishable food item. There is always room for new people to perform as our roster is ever changing. If you would like further information please call Carol Fergus at 427-2258. The next wonderful show is this Saturday November 29th, 8pm sharp and tickets are available at the Snow Drift Cafe and at Centre 64 (and the door if not sold out). Doors open at 7:30 pm.

RCR Summit Fund
Another year of success for the RCR community summit funds
British Columbia - In December 2013, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies officially re-launched the Community Summit Fund initiative in the resort communities of Fernie, Kimberley and Golden, B.C. The Fund’s mandate is to enhance the local communities by supporting sustainable local projects that help create positive opportunities and outcomes for its citizens, especially youth. Over the last year the program has continued to be successful supporting over 50 organizations in this short time. FERNIE ALPINE RESORT Since the re-launch the Fernie Alpine Resort Summit fund has supported over $30,000 to local organizations including the Emily Brydon Youth Foundation,
the Fernie Heritage Library, the Feel Good Fernie Wellness Festival, Wam Bam Dirt Jump Jam and more. KIMBERLEY ALPINE RESORT In the last year the Kimberley Alpine Resort Summit Fund has donated to organizations in the community supporting a wide range of project from Rail Jams in the Platzl and the Sullivan Mine & Railway Historical Society to helping fund a greenhouse and garden project for the Kimberley Seniors project through the Health Care Auxiliary and supporting the Selkirk Secondary School. KICKING HORSE MOUNTAIN RESORT The youngest of our Summit Funds, the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Summit Fund was officially launched in December 2013 and so far has supported over 20 projects including the Golden Cycling Club,
Lady Grey Elementary School, the Golden
Rockies Junior B Hockey team and more.
From page 1 Councilor Darryl Oakley asked Troy Pollock from the planning department if there was going to be anything set up to allow animals movement from the river up to the road, ie. not allowing fenced properties. Pollock said there are 40 feet of setbacks between dwellings but fencing is allowed under the bylaw. Coun. Albert Hoglund asked if the fencing issue could be dealt with as the development planning continued and Pollock said there would be an opportunity for conversation around that issue. Coun. Kent Goodwin said he had some concerns about allowing septic systems within city limits, but they are somewhat offset by the fact that the sale of
these lands helps a Kimberley non-profit, namely the Kimberley Golf Club. Goodwin said he felt this was not a precedent for other developers for that reason. “We are allowing development on an upper bench and getting parkland down below, which is pretty good habitat. It’s a worthwhile trade. Because the golf course is right next to it, wildlife can

move.” Goodwin said the other issue was river access for the public. There is a right of way to the river where a road could be developed and he suggested perhaps taxes from the new development could be set aside to pay for the road.

Ongoing canine conversation “Don’t reason with a hungry stomach, it has no ears.” Greek dogs’ proverb
E
mma fell through the ice on Premier Lake last winter. She’d found her old ice-skates and was determined to see how she could handle herself on them. She had her dog with her — a sort of rottie called Rogue — and after attempting a kind of Schnitzel, or whatever they call those jumps, she went through. Rogue came to the rescue by bounding round his mistress and barking excitedly. Then two men, who heard the ruckus, came to the rescue with a long pole, a sapling. However, Rogue wouldn’t let the would-be rescuers near his mistress and, when they tried to sneak close to Emma, like seals on their bellies, the dog bit both of them. One of the exasperated men gave Rogue a good belt round the head with the rescue pole, then got on with things. Later, in the dry warmth of her car, Emma suggested that the blow to her dog’s head was a trifle too much. “You shouldn’t punish a dog for trying to help,” she suggested as the two rescuers nursed their bites. She was recounting this tale to two female friends. One, Dorothy, sympathised
and said, “The more I have to deal with men, the more I appreciate dogs.” But Thora, who had spent most of her life on a farm, didn’t concur one bit. She said, “Dog are all right in their place and living outside, being useful, not pets.” Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the menfolk had got on to the topic. Fred, who had received a classical education and had a dog he called Styx, was a tad cynical. He felt that dogs only had one thing in mind and Peter that was food. He recounthow he’d been looking Warland ed for a snack in the fridge when Styx, drooling heavily, had implied, ‘Why hesitate? Why don’t we eat everything?’ Harold added: “That’s the objective of all nature: food. Any other topic is incidental. Every living thing, except maybe supermodels, must eat something and, in each case, this must be some other living thing.” Harold can be heavy duty sometimes. George added, “Friend Henry has two dogs that let him pamper and feed them. One of them, I reckon, seems to be a survivor. If they’re in the bush, she’ll find a rotting corpse, especially if suitably ripe, then she’ll roll in it. This is known as survival of the fittest.” George was also of the opinion that Fred called his mutt Styx because he had to keep throwing them for the stupid animal.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Back in the living room, the ladies had switched topics several times, as is their wont. “The trouble is: dogs are pack animals and they’re supposed to hunt in packs.” suggested Dorothy, “They’re also supposed to know what to do when they catch even a large animal.” “‘Now what happens?’ said the Chihuahua when it caught up with the logging truck.” chipped in Thora, helping herself to another slice of cake. She recalled some TV special about the case of those wolves that had been brought up, in packs on an island in Quebec somewhere. They had never had to hunt as they had been fed since birth by humans. When they were released up in caribou country somewhere, they instinctively chased the first herd of caribou they encountered but, like your dogs, they didn’t know how to attack and kill. For some time, the rangers had to shoot caribou until the wolves got the hang of things. Slurping his third beer in the kitchen, Harold once more held the floor. He explained that dogs were once wolves that came to men in order to scavenge for food in the dumps, and were not killed if they were useful. If they helped guard cattle or proved useful on hunts, they were allowed to stay around. “Now look at we’ve got. My sister’s got an odd vintage mutt she calls Chablis, for crying out loud. Useless thing! Costs her a fortune to upkeep.”

Thanks for support
I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past six years. It has been an honour and pleasure to work with and for you as a City Councillor. I have enjoyed learning more about our beautiful city and have come to appreciate how much our citizens care. Never stop caring about Cranbrook! A huge thank you to all City staff in Public Works, Leisure Services, Engineering, the Airport, all our City Hall Departments, the Fire Department, R.C.M.P. and the Library. I have appreciated your guidance and thought provoking comments. I realized very early on in my first term how hard our City staff work each and every day on behalf of our citizens. They are dedicated women and men! I wish only the best to our new council — may you enjoy your time on council as I have! Once again, thank you to everyone who has enriched my life over the past six years! I am truly grateful. Councillor Denise Pallesen Cranbrook
A few words from the mayor Congratulations to Lee Pratt, Tom Shypitka, Ron Popoff, Isaac Hockley, Danielle
Cardoza, Norma Blissett and Wes Graham on being elected. It will be challenging to live up to your election promises but I do wish you all the best! Thank you to James Elliott, Bob Faiers, Anna Hudson, Brian Kostiuk, Alan MacBean, Brad Scriver, Lynn McIntosh and John York for running — democracy is best served by having choices, and it was great to see your sincere interest in Cranbrook and its future. A special thank you to Councillors Sharon Cross, Bob Whetham, Angus Davis, Diana J. Scott and Gerry Warner for your support — you are much appreciated! Collectively, including Councillor Pallesen, I believe the seven of us represented the diverse interests of our citizens well. I want to leave the new Mayor and Councillors with a couple of challenges. You all had a group of people helping you to get elected. After you are sworn in on December 8 you owe them a big Thank You, but that’s all. Once you are in the seats as Municipal Leaders you are Public Servants and your loyalty is to all of the people of Cranbrook. You need to move our community forward for Youth and Seniors, for Arts and Culture, for Recreation and the Environment, by helping to recruit family doctors and to reduce poverty, and yes, of course, by building the economy and fixing infrastructure, including potholes.
Every decision needs to be made in the context of “Is this in the best interest of our citizens and our city?” That can be challenging but in reality that is what you signed on for and what the people of Cranbrook expect from you. I want to issue a special challenge to incoming Mayor Lee Pratt. Over the last three years the Mayor’s office has become a place where every citizen has a voice and every concern is listened to. My focus has been on accessibility, transparency and respectfulness and ensuring everyone contacting my office knows that they are valued members of our community whether they are happy with the City or not. I encourage you to keep your door open and to follow that same approach, including holding Saturday Coffee With the Mayor sessions and monthly Brown Bag Meetings. A special thanks to the 2,192 voters who share in my vision of what Cranbrook can be, and thanks to all of the people of Cranbrook for three great years. It is you who made the job so enjoyable and it has been an honour to work for you and with you. Together we have made Cranbrook a great place to call Home! Now, about those potholes which I understand are soon to disappear from all over town …! Mayor Wayne Stetski Cranbrook

1899 Photography Studio … Every Evening Except Sunday and Tuesday, Our studio will be open for taking Flash Light Pictures and the sale of views, to send to your friends at Christmas. Always busy the last few weeks before the holiday season, we would emphasize the wisdom of coming NOW. Yours, for a happy Xmas and a prosperous New Year, Prest The Photographer McVittie-Leslie ... Last Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, Mr. Archibald McVittie, of this city, and Miss Emily L. Leslie, daughter of the late Edward Leslie, of Prescott, Ont., were united in marriage, Rev. Procunier, of Christ Church, officiating. The wedding was a quiet one, only immediate relatives being present. The bride is a sister of Mrs. John Hutchison and has been visiting here since last March. Mr. McVittie is one of the best-known residents of South East Kootenay, and is a member of the mining and real estate firm of McVittie & Hutchison. The bride was remembered by her friends with many tokens of the high esteem, in which she is held in the community. The Herald extends congratulations and best wishes for a bright and prosperous future. A Pioneer Celebration ... The pioneers of South East Kootenay are preparing for a celebration that is to be held in Fort Steele some time next month. Those who will participate are the men who have been in the country fifteen years or more. A big fund is being raised and a warm time is promised. Fort Steele, as the original town of the district, is the proper place for this celebration, and The Herald extends its best wishes to the promoters for a glorious
time. Sidewalk to the School ... Government Agent Armstrong should have a sidewalk built from the main street to the schoolhouse. With the walks that are being built by the citizens in various parts of the town, such a walk would afford the necessary accommodations in wet weather. Get Wed … Marriages in Cranbrook are becoming the proper thing. The young men are gaining wisdom. Let the good work go on. Methodist Concert … The ladies of the Methodist Church intend to ask the merchants to close as early as possible Saturday night to give all an opportunity to attend the Smiley concert. The concert will not commence until 9 o’clock. 1900 A Successful Ball ... The ball given by the ladies last Tuesday evening at Wentworth Hall, for the benefit of the St. Eugene Hospital, was a marked success in every way. Perhaps there has never been a dance in this district where those in attendance had such an enjoyable time. The number present was very large, but when the floor became too crowded for comfort the dancers took it in good part and enjoyed it the more. About 12 o’clock a tasty lunch was served, after which dancing was resumed until a late hour. Arrangements were made with Mr. Wentworth for two reception rooms in the hotel, which added very much to the convenience of the program for the evening. Cranbrook Merchants … The Herald will venture the assertion that there is not another town in British Columbia the size of Cranbrook where merchants are carrying such fine stocks as are the merchants of this town. It would do the heart of a cynic good to see the preparations made for the festival holiday along the business streets. It is the same in every line, from pins to
wagons, and what is more no man or woman can say that the prices asked are not reasonable. Just remember this and leave your dollars home this year. Don’t be a catalogue buyer, when the town where you live is furnishing your income. The merchants are always ready to put up their money for the good of the town, and do it. They have laid in magnificent stocks this year and can satisfy any reasonable person. Spend your dollar at home and you get a chance at it again. If you send it back east it is gone from this community for all time. C.P.R. Residence … The large residence that is being built for Superintendent Cameron by the C.P.R. on Baker Hill, is being enclosed. It will be the largest and finest residence in Cranbrook when completed. 1901 Malaria Case … Chief Barnes is confined to his bed with malaria. He is expected to be about in a few days. Fernie Payday … Payday enlivened the town considerably. Between six and seven hundred men were paid nearly $70,000. Very little disturbance was noticeable beside the Fitzgerald case. The businessmen had a very satisfactory trade. Don’t Like the Green ... Alex Moffat has kicked on the prevalence of green paint on the Garden Avenue houses where his home is located. The Herald editor touched up his with a mild tint of green. A. W. McVittie gave his house a similar shade. R. E. Beattie fell into line. Frank Clapp bloomed out with a still brighter hue in the trimmings on his place. And now comes W. T. Reid with the roof of his new house painted a brilliant St. Patrick’s green. That is the last straw, and now when Mr. Moffat passes up the avenue to his home, he looks neither to the right or left, and the usual smile is gone.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. At least that’s what Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks said looking forward to the next month for the Nitros. What exactly is he referring to? When the puck drops Friday night, it will mark the return to Kimberley of a KIJHL rivalry that has been caged within the confines of the Fernie Memorial Arena thus far in the 2014-15 season. The Dynamiters and Fernie Ghostriders
meet at the Civic Centre for the first time at 7 p.m. Friday night. “The next month is one of the most fun months in the league, other than playoffs,” Bancks said Monday afternoon. “That’s how we set it up. “It’s a ton of fun.” Including Friday’s tilt between the Nitros and Ghostriders, the two Eddie Mountain Division rivals will face-off four times over the course of the next month. As it stands, the Ghostriders hold the edge in the season series on the strength of a

Kimberley Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer battles through a screen to make a save during pre-season play between the Nitros and Fernie Ghostriders at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Sept. 5. The two teams meet in Kimberley for the first time in regular-season action Friday night. 2-1 victory Nov. 7. The two clubs battled to a 4-4 tie Nov. 22. Friday night, the Ghostriders will be without leading scorer Josh McCulloch, who is out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury. The 18-year-old Calgary native tallied the game-winning goal along with a helper in the Ghostriders lone victory against Kimberley earlier this month. With a mark of 10-20-1 on home ice, the Dynamiters hope to utilize some Kimberley confidence to even the season series with their Kootenay country rivals.
“It’ll be good to see them in our rink,” Bancks said. “We’ve played quite well in [their rink]. But with Fernie, I don’t think it really matters whether it’s home or away for them or us. Fans come down and the crowds are good. “It’s exciting. It’s what a rivalry is all about. I’m anxious to see us at home against them.” The Dynamiters and Ghostriders hooked up at the Civic Centre once during pre-season play this fall, with the Nitros battling to a 5-2 victory. As much as a pre-season win might be nice
for the mojo, it matters none in the standings once puck drops on the regular season. After starting the season hot, the Dynamiters have cooled off, struggling to a 2-6-1-0 record in the month of November, which has seen them venture out of town for six games. The Nitros look forward to a nearly even split of home and road games through the month of December, with five games at the Civic Centre and four games on the road, including two in Creston, one in Fernie and one south of the border
Stampeders RB Jon Cornish student of the game Joshua Clipperton Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - Every single move Jon Cornish makes on a football field is planned. A student of the game, the Calgary Stampeders running back al-
most effortlessly slices through defences, but each juke or spin that leaves a defender grabbing at air has been researched and studied, with a story of its own. “The strongest memory is no match for the faintest ink,” said Cor-

nish. “People can think about things all they want. I have it written down so I can see exactly what I’m going to do. “My game is so far removed from the thought process. It’s natural. I’m out there and I just ‘do’ ... I think a lot of people try to interfere in the process of playing football - they (inject) thought.” The Stampeders hit the practice field at B.C. Place Stadium on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s Grey Cup game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Cornish explained how he developed a physical list of moves so that all he has to do on the field is react. “I realized primarily through meditation that a lot of the stuff we do is not real,” said the 30-year-old. “I’ve had the move list for about 2
1/2 years now and after I found it was effective I added a few extra moves. If you see me do a few different things on the field it’s never a new move, it’s always stuff that I’ve researched.” A native of nearby New Westminster, B.C., Cornish has even started to add techniques used by fellow University of Kansas running back and NFL great Gale Sayers. “I truly believe Gale Sayers is the greatest running back that ever lived,” said Cornish, who won the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada’s top athlete last year. “Every running back likes to credit his vision, but Gale Sayers was able to see in 360 (degrees). He knew everything that was going on on the field and that’s something that I’ve tried to (incorporate).”
Also the CFL’s most outstanding player in 2013, Cornish was injured for a big chunk of this season, but still managed to lead the league in rushing with 1,082 yards to go along with five touchdowns for a team that went 15-3 before thumping the Edmonton Eskimos in the West Division final. “Jon does what he does because he is a different person,” said Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. “When I say that I mean that he’s not doing your normal preparations during the off-season. He’s doing different things - learning how to meditate, learning how to do karate. Whatever it is, he’s learning how to be a different and better athlete.”

against the Spokane Braves. “You kind of break the season down into sections,” Bancks said. “We’ve got a section from now through the Christmas holidays that is a lot of fun. It’s exciting for our kids. That’s kind of as far as we’re going to think. We’re not going to go beyond that and worry too much about January.” Though Bancks and his squad won’t worry about it just yet, the Dynamiters ring in the new year with a drastic split between home and road games, leaving the comfort of the Kimberley
Civic Centre for eight of 11 contests come January 2015. “What it does is it lightens you up a little bit in February before you start the playoffs,” Bancks said of the ominous January schedule. “I’d rather suffer through that [road schedule in January].” With a record of 3-81-1 on the road, December could prove critical in the race for the KIJHL playoffs. In the meantime, the Nitros will enjoy the comforts of home. After all, that’s the best place to be this time of year.
Lions Elimimian poised to make CFL history Dan R alph Canadian Press
Solomon Elimimian is poised to make CFL history Thursday night. The B.C. Lions linebacker is expected to be the runaway winner of the league’s outstanding player after registering a CFL-record 143 tackles this season. If Elimimian is selected ahead of Ricky Ray of the Toronto Argonauts in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada and the nine league head coaches, he’d become the first pure defensive player to capture the honour. The six-foot, 227pound Elimimian is one of the league’s feel-good stories of the season and expected to also walk away with top defensive player honours during the awards banquet at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. But Ray
deserves equal consideration as the CFL’s outstanding player. The 35-year-old was the CFL leader in passing yards (4,595), touchdowns (28), completion percentage (68.5), attempts (620) and completions (425). Ray was the only league QB to crack the 4,000-yard passing plateau and was a big reason why Toronto sported the league’s top aerial attack in 2014. He did so in spite of an injury-ravaged receiving corps that saw veterans Andre Durie, Jason Barnes and Chad Owens and promising rookie Anthony Coombs all miss significant chunks of the season.

The Kootenay Ice have announced the retirement of forward Kyle O’Connor. The team made the announcement via Twitter Wednesday afternoon. According to the announcement, O’Connor retired in order to pursue educational opportunities. “Kyle came in as a 16-year-old and I thought he had a really good year,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill Wednesday afternoon. “I think the expectations for him as a 17-year-old were obviously high. You set the bar fairly high. “He had some injuries and just didn’t seem to get anything going last year. Coming in this year, I thought he worked hard in the summer to become physically ready and unfortunately he was spinning his wheels a little bit this year, too, with injuries. Just little injuries, nothing big, but just never really seemed to get his feet under him.” O’Connor, 18, spent his entire WHL career with the Kootenay Ice after the team selected him in the fourth round
(83rd overall) of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. “Anytime you lose a guy that you’ve played with for three years, it sucks,” said Kootenay Ice alternate captain Austin Vetterl Wednesday afternoon. “He brings depth to our team. I think, if he had the chance, he could put the puck in the net and move up and down the lineup when we really needed him to. Obviously it sucks to lose a guy like that, but it’s the life of a hockey player. You’ve got to move on.” The native of Calgary, Alta., suited up in 132 games with the Ice, tallying 10 goals and 12 assists over three seasons. “He’s a good team guy,” said Kootenay Ice forward Matt Alfaro, also of Calgary, Wednesday. “We’ve been friends for a while and I trained with him in the summer. It’ll be tough. We’ll miss him in the locker room and on the ice.” The 6-foot-2 forward had a career year in his rookie season (2012-13), registering six goals and 15 points in 70 games. After his 16-year-old rookie campaign, O’Connor was unable to holster his potential. Injuries slowed his development as he only skated in 42 games with the Ice during the 2013-14
season, battling nagging injuries all season long. The same remained true this season. O’Connor missed five consecutive games from Nov. 1 to Nov. 19 as he dealt with two separate injuries. He returned to the lineup Nov. 21 against the Lethbridge Hurricanes, suiting up for the team’s three games this past weekend, registering no points and a minus-2 rating. In 20 games this season, O’Connor managed one goal and one assist. “He had a lot of reflection over the last couple weeks and just feels it’s time to get moving with his schooling,” McGill added. “I commend him for making that decision. I don’t think we ever saw Kyle’s full potential and I was really hoping to see that because at 16, I saw a really big, right-handed centreman that could be a real good player in this league.” O’Connor is expected to return to Calgary and hopes to begin pursuing a post-secondary education come January 2015. “The ICE thank Kyle for his contributions to the team, and wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” the team posted on its Twitter account.
Martin Brodeur to practise with St. Louis Blues C anadian Press
ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Blues are giving Martin Brodeur a chance to return to the NHL. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said on the team’s Twitter account that the former New Jersey Devils all-star goaltender will

RB Cornish key for Stamps at Grey Cup Continued from page 8
Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel stressed that for all the great things his running back does, Cornish is just one piece of Calgary’s puzzle. “Jon’s a very good football player, but he plays for a very good football team,” said the veteran coach. “Whether Jon’s in the game or not in the game, the Calgary Stampeders are still a good football team. But he does bring an extra dimension. “He’s a strong, hard runner. You know, if we can get him into the second level, it can be a long day for the defence. Unfortunately, it’s going to be very difficult to get to second level against Hamilton.” The Tiger-Cats, who were 9-9 before downing the Montreal Alou-
ettes in the East final, allowed by far the fewest rushing yards per game in 2014 with an average of just 72.7. “Jon is a very important key to our offence because we are a runfirst team and we are going to rely on him a lot of the time,” said Mitchell. “He’s a very hard player to stop and you have to focus on him.” While Cornish won’t get this year’s most outstanding player nod, his teammates see what he does on a daily basis and marvel at his talents. “He’s still the best player in this league. Everybody knows it,” said Calgary slotback Nick Lewis. “He’s the most valuable person to our team, but to win 15 games and only have him for nine is pretty amazing, too.”
The Stampeders lost the 2012 Grey Cup to the Toronto Argonauts before falling to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in last season’s West final, with that second defeat standing out for the cerebral Cornish. “I truly felt there was something more going on than a football team losing to another football team. I felt that the Riders had an impetus, something that was pushing them that we didn’t have,” said Cornish, who sat out both of Calgary’s games against Hamilton this season. “When I faced down their defence ... they believed in something that maybe we didn’t at the time. “That’s what guided my entire off-season, and coming to now I think we’ve been able to cultivate that, cultivate
our team camaraderie, cultivate our drive, and I think that’s the reason we’re standing here today.” Cornish - who won a high school title at B.C. Place - has one Grey Cup ring from Calgary’s 2008 championship team and said another in his home province would be even more special. “It’s hard to win Grey Cups,” he said. “It’s not something that just happens all the time. You can be a great team during the regular season, but as has been shown if another team comes into your house with drive and that will to win they can defeat you. “That’s what we’ve understood this entire year - whatever we’ve done during the season doesn’t matter, it’s what we do right now.”
San Jose Sharks sign emergency goaltender Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Sharks have signed Ryan Lowe to a goaltender professional tryout agreement to be an emergency backup. Lowe dressed in Wednesday’s game against Calgary as backup to Antti Niemi. Regular backup Troy
Groesnick was injured in practice on Tuesday. Lowe played college hockey at San Jose State and lives in the area. He last played professionally in Australia with the Sydney Bears of the AIHL. The 31-yearold has also appeared professionally with the Canberra Knights (AIHL) and Utah Grizzlies (AHL).

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club travelled to Wallace, Idaho, Nov. 22 for the Great Northwest Showdown. Weighing in at 165 pounds, novice boxer Jared Luke went toe-totoe with Matthew Spies of Wennatchie, Wash. Jared started the match in cautious fashion, but picked up the pace by the third round, scoring with a number
of over-hand rights and shots to the body of Spies. The Cranbrook native took the third round, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the slow start as Spies walked away with the decision. Senior novice boxer Brandon Luke, weighing in at 132 pounds, put his perfect record (6-0) on the line against Austin Zambrano of Kennewick, Wash.
Zambrano, a more experienced boxer, was troubled early on by the hand speed counters of Brandon. The Kennewick boxer battled hard in the third round, but both boxers stood tall, earning a huge ovation from the crowd as the match concluded. Despite the pushback from Zambranon, Brandon Luke earned the decision, improving his undefeated mark to 7-0.

Rock fiddler Aaron Meyer returning to KCT For the Townsman
On a night last February the Key City Theatre rocked to the sounds of Led Zepplin’s iconic song “Kashmir.” However it was not the strings of an electric guitar which sang this driving melody but those bowed on a violin. The violin of Portland, Oregon’s Aaron Meyer accompanied by members of the Cranbrook Violin Club. Concert Rock Violinist Aaron Meyer and his guitarist Tim Ellis thrilled the audience last winter as they carried them on a journey across many musical genres. From rock to
celtic, tango to contemporary, folk to classical, Aaron seemlessly transitioned from one musical style to another within a single bow stroke. The Cranbrook Violin Club (who brought hip hop violinist Lindsey Stirling to Cranbrook in 2012) is proud to welcome Concert Rock Violinist Aaron Meyer and his guitarist Tim Ellis back to the stage of Key City Theatre on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7 pm. Aaron Meyer began his musical journey at the young age of 5 and his classical violin training enabled him to de-
bute with the Philadelphia Orchestra at 11. At the age of 19, Aaron closed his violin case and began a new journey which would ultimately lead him back to his\ musical roots with a few new branches. He embarked on an expedition to some of the most remote regions of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Every village, every island, every culture he encountered provided “a powerful and awakening education.” This together with the experience of a Grateful dead concert, which he describes as being “the antithesis of

Aaron has soloed with major international symphony orchestras and ballet companies, and performed for numerous world leaders and dignitaries including the Dalai Lama. He has worked with a wide range of artists including Smokey Robinson, Aaron Neville, Everclear and The Temptations. Having recorded ten CD’s to date, Aaron generates excitement with his fresh and invigorating instrumental style of violin performance. However it is his devotion to musical education for children in addition to his generous donation of time to the causes he believes in which inspired the Cranbrook Violin Club to bring Aaron Meyer to

to positive adult role models such as Kim Lutz and Aaron Meyer, as well as Lindsey Stirling and Natalie MacMaster is so important in a world where youth are witness to so many atheletes who take performance enhancing drugs and popstars who fall from grace under the pressures of fame.

The name of the tour is, ‘Silence is a Song I Know All the Words to.’ The artist is Shane Koyczan. His 2015 tour will include a stop at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on March 30, 2015. “Silence is a Song I Know all the Words to” is another chapter in Koyczan’s continuing story. His CD of the same name is now available with the companion piece graphic novel. The album track “Troll” is accompanied by a video that features the artwork of Gareth Gaudin who also illustrated the graphic novel. “Troll” is dedicated to all of those who have lost friends or family through online abuse. Koyczan’s much lauded novel, “Stickboy,” was recently the subject of both an art exhibit and an
Shane Koyczan opera. “Stickboy at Ayden Gallery” this fall showcased 50 visual artists responding to the theme of bullying explored in the novel. The event kicked off Vancouver Opera’s production of “Stickboy” featuring Shane as Librettist. Shane Koyczan has just wrapped up dates with the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot Tour, that took him coast to coast and saw him share the stage with a number of performers including, Neil Young, Feist, Margaret Atwood, Raine Maida, Joel Plaskett, Jenn Grant, Chantel Krevi-
azuk and many more. He wrote the poem “Shoulders” specifically for the tour, and it comes from his new collection of poetry entitled a Bruise on Light. “When I first heard Shane perform ‘Shoulders’ it brought tears to my eyes,” said David Suzuki. “Poetry, like music, connects people in a powerful way and Shane lifted the entire audiences to their feet with his incredible words.” Koyczan also gained international attention with a “slam” poetry recitation to bring to a close the Vancouver Olympics Opening Ceremonies in 2010. Shane Koyczan’s “Silence is a Song I Know all the Words to” tour presented by the Kootenay Concert Connection, is coming to the Key City Theatre on March 30, 2015.

Symphony online silent auction is underway Barry Coulter
The Symphony of the Kootenays has launched an intriguing new fundraising venture ahead of its Dec. 6 concert. The Symphony’s online silent auction is now up and running on the eFlea website, featuring four “getaway” package prizes open for bidding.
This week in Cranbrook Continued from page 7 She Told Him ... A young man was at a social function in a nearby town the other night and it fell to his lot to entertain a pretty young lady, and as she was full of life he enjoyed himself very well. She had a shortsleeved gown, and he thought he never before had seen such beautiful arms, but she seemed ill at ease and finally said “ I was vaccinated the other day and it took beautifully. I could almost scream it hurts so.” He gazed at her faultless arms in astonishment and asked, “Why, where were you vaccinated?” “In Winnipeg” she said with a smile, and the young man fell off the chair. Skating Rink … Messrs. McLeod and Hunt have leased the skating rink for the coming season and are arranging to make the place an attractive pleasure resort for the winter. They propose to give several entertainments during the season and The Herald hopes that the people of Cranbrook will give them a liberal patronage. Where are the Scots? … Tomorrow is St. Andrews day and yet the Scots of Cranbrook have made no preparations for haggis or brew. Methodists … The Methodist Sunday School is preparing the cantata “The Crowning of Christmas.” It will be given in connection with their Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. For Hire … Matters have arrived at a stage in Cranbrook that if a young man desires to stand right with his girl he must have a cutter or the wherewithal to hire one. Oysters alone won’t save him.
Lisa Barnes, the Symphony’s auction web administrator. said the prize package feature get-away items, “a chance to get out and enjoy culture and life” in the region. “We were originally looking at doing an event (for a fundraiser),” Barnes said. “We tossed around different ideas to bring the community together.” Barnes said the online silent auction was decided upon, and businesses have come through with some great donations. The “Symphony Getaway” includes a round trip for two to Kelowna, courtesy of Pacific Coastal Airlines, two tickets to a performance of the Okanagan Symphony, and one night’s accommodation at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort in Kelowna (valued at $1,600). The “Wine Harvest Getaway” features an Okanagan Wine package — two nights accommodation at the

A nature getaway closer to home is up for the bidding — two nights at the Bull River Guest Ranch, along with

Haiti will surprise you with its beauty.
Haiti is ready for you
Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel on how a beautiful Caribbean island is calling for the world to return — to visit and explore! No country in the western hemisphere has had a go of it like Haiti. Decades of corrupt government and poor infrastructure destroyed its once-sunny reputation as a world-class vacation hotspot. Then in 2010, a massive earthquake struck and killed 230,000 people — 11 per cent of the population living near the capital city of Port-auPrince. Five years later, along with its buildings, businesses, and lives, Haiti is piecing back together its tourist appeal, and calling for the world to return. A trip here will likely begin in Port-au-Prince, where things may not be back to normal but progress is definitely being made. Neighbourhoods like the affluent and stable Pétionville – where Kenneth Cole just opened a new boutique to much fanfare – go a long way in dispelling misconceptions about Haiti. Much of the city is not only beautiful, but safe for wandering and enjoying the culture. Firsttime visitors should make their way to the famous Hotel Oloffson – an exquisite, early 20th
century house originally built for the wealthy family of Haitian presidents. Stop by on a Thursday evening to hear RAM, the fantastic house band who’s long been a cultural staple in the Port-au-Prince social week for politicians and music lovers alike. Another of Haiti’s exceptional places is the cinematically picturesque city of Jacmel, on its southern coast. It’s got a population of only 40,000, but its art and cultural community is legendary. Jacmel sits on a beautiful, coved beach, easily reminding visitors why people started flocking to Haiti in the first place. The country offers so much, it’s easy to overlook the fact that its’ coastlines of white sand and warm, turquoise waters, are stunning. If you’ve been to New Orleans, you will see a common cultural denominator history in the architecture of the two places. Budding Haiti is expected to become one of the world’s great adventure travel destinations. Whether you’re an adrenaline
junkie, or merely someone who loves to chill out in nature, Haiti’s got it. Bassin-Bleu is a highly secluded oasis not far out of Jacmel and reachable with a short car ride and a gentle hike. With its waterfalls and greener-thangreen surroundings, this little paradise is perfect for an afternoon away from the rest of life. For years now, even before the quake, we’ve heard about much strife out of Haiti. Stories of its culture and the optimism of its people, and with the help of volunteers (many from the Kootenay’s), there’s a strange newness to the idea of visiting Haiti, especially for those of us too young to remember when it last had its place in the sun. That time is coming again, and whether or not you’re ready to see Haiti, it is most certainly ready to see you. Haiti will surprise you in every way.

High Arctic no refuge for polar bears if climate change continues Canadian Press
EDMONTON - Even Canada’s High Arctic islands won’t remain a sanctuary for polar bears if climate change continues at its current
pace, a new study suggests. The study, published Wednesday in an online science journal, says climate change is on track to push the bears into
dire straits throughout the region by the end of the century. “Under business-as-usual climate projections, polar bears may face starvation and
reproductive failure across the entire archipelago by the year 2100,” it says. The paper, published in PLOS 1, uses the latest data to project what would happen to sea ice in the islands northwest of the Gulf of Boothia if global temperatures increased by 3.5 degrees Celsius. Derocher ac-
knowledges that’s a “severe” amount of warming, but it’s a level the planet is on track for if significant measures to curb greenhouse gas emissions aren’t enacted. Such warming would lead to more and more years in which waters used by specific polar bear populations would
be ice free for more than 180 days, the study says. That would mean more and more years in which the bears couldn’t use the hunting platform they need to get their fatrich seals for at least six months. At 180 ice-free days, starvation would be likely to kill off between nine and 21 per cent of adult
male bears, with females and cubs more vulnerable. At the same time, the ice would be breaking up earlier and forming later, which would affect how successful females were in raising their cubs. Early breakup can cause reproductive failure in anywhere from half to all of pregnant sows.

Rare Shakespeare Folio from 1623 discovered in French town A sso c i ated Pres s
PARIS - An accidental discovery in a northern French library of an original first folio of Shakespeare’s plays - one of the rarest books in the world - has sent a jolt of excitement around the world of Shakespeare scholars. The 900-page tome was authenticated by a respected U.S.-based scholar over the weekend.
The find brings the total of known first folios in the world to 233. It is significant as each first folio is a unique copy that can contain variations that can shed new light on the Shakespeare’s intentions. “I was delighted. It’s a treasure,” said Remy Cordonnier, a Saint-Omer library director who discovered the book. The folio is said to have belonged to a Jesuit evangelist.
Scientists say a trove of ancient bones from gigantic animals discovered in the Colorado mountains provides a fascinating look at what happened about 120,000 years ago when the Earth got as warm as it is today. Researchers just published the first big batch of data from the site unearthed four years ago near Snowmass, Colorado. They found mastodons, mammoths, giant sloths, huge bison, insects, plants and pollen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can’t seem to get enough of the social nature of the day. Whether you are the host or the guest, you are likely to have a great time. You might decide to watch the Thanksgiving parade or reach out to someone at distance. Don’t wait! Tonight: Catch up with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your role could be quite important, as you might be enlisted to pitch in and make dinner at the last minute. As a result, don’t expect to have much private time to catch up with loved ones and friends. A dear friend is likely to step in and help. Tonight: Finally, some time for yourself! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your mind seems to drift to family or friends at a distance. If you can, take the day off to visit with them. People could have an unpredictable quality to them today. You could be surprised by what goes on. Tonight: Get into the warm, friendly nature of the day.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might choose to make this a low-key Thanksgiving, where you prepare dinner for just you and your immediate circle of friends. You will enjoy the process as much as the turkey. Make an important call to a relative who might be alone today. Tonight: Enjoy some free time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could have more invitations coming your way than you know what to do with. Try not to hurt anyone’s feelings while making the social rounds. Consider bringing a thank-you gift as you go from one get-together to the next. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be quite busy, whether you have to do some work or handle a domestic responsibility. A loved one would be only too happy to pitch in, so let him or her take the reins. Otherwise, you might feel overburdened on some level. Tonight: Take care of loose ends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your natural self-expression
Tundra
sometimes can be flirtatious. Be careful, as someone who doesn’t know you well might misread you. On the other hand, a loved one might decide that he or she has had enough, and could demand all of your attention. Tonight: Make amends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 You might decide to stay close to home. You enjoy visiting with others and catching up, but a relaxed pace of staying put might be more appealing right now. Maintain a sense of humor as everything falls into place. Tonight: Know that you can finally veg a little. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The doorbell might be ringing all day long, as family members seek you out. You have a choice to make: Stay present with the moment, or respond to these incoming requests. Either way, you will enjoy a lively day of conversation and turkey. Tonight: Visit with those around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could get stuck running some last-minute errands and
end up arriving late to Thanksgiving dinner. Many of you who visit with several different families will have a little more flexibility than others. Tonight: Try not to overindulge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll smile, and others can’t help but be pulled in. You might be concerned about helping others feel at home. Others could seek you out, but you’ll have your hands full doing everything you need to do while still remaining sociable. Tonight: Let the party begin! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension seems to build around a matter that you might not be able to discuss right now. You could feel quite frustrated as you try to accommodate others while holding this information back. You might decide to excuse yourself early from what is going on. Tonight: Not to be found.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last week, I was watching a YouTube video, and suddenly a man’s face appeared on my screen. He was watching me. I immediately turned off my computer. Apparently, through apps or hacking into computer signals, people can watch you through your computer camera lens. I shared my story with friends and co-workers, and they, too, had no idea this could happen. I now keep tape over my camera lens. You should tell people about this. -Creeped Out Dear Creeped: We’re not certain someone’s face can suddenly appear on your monitor and be watching you during a YouTube video, but it is possible for someone to watch you through your webcam. Hackers can get into everything, including your camera lens. This is why you should never bring your laptop into your bedroom. The easiest way to protect yourself is to cover the camera lens. Here are other precautions: Do not open attachments, including music and video, unless you are certain you know the person sending it and the person intended you to have it. You’d be surprised how often a friend’s email is hacked and everyone on their mailing list is sent an attachment with malware embedded. In particular, avoid unfamiliar sites offering free downloads. This is asking for trouble. Make sure your antivirus software and security firewalls are current and turned on. Update your passwords regularly. Don’t use easy-to-hack passwords, such as your birthday or spouse’s name. If you need help with your computer system, go to a reputable IT service for assistance or ask someone you trust for a referral. Dear Annie: A good friend of mine who is 82 often comments that her family gives her money for gifts. She says, “What else would I need?” But I think at this point in her life, her family should be able to think of some special things she’d like. I have several suggestions: postage stamps; an assortment of greeting cards; tape and markers; attractive boxes of facial tissue; gift certificates for the grocery or beauty salon that they actually go to; magazine subscriptions; jams, teas and coffees; pretty wall calendars; tickets and transportation for a play or sporting event. You also could give a “gift certificate” to set up a regular schedule to take them to the local library or “coupons” to call you for a ride when needed. For my friend, I offer to get her produce from the local seasonal farmer’s market since she cannot get there but loves the fresh fruit and vegetables. -- A. in Wisconsin Dear A.: Some people (including seniors) prefer cash. That way they can spend it however they choose. But for those who are looking for more personalized gifts, your suggestions will be deeply appreciated this holiday season. Dear Annie: When my daughter married, we kept all the gifts at our house until after the honeymoon. Then we had a family party. As they opened the card from “Aunt Jane,” my daughter jotted “Dear Aunt Jane” on a thank-you card. Then she unwrapped the present, and as it was being passed around by the family, she finished up the thank-you note with a “thank you so much for the silver platter” and a brief sentence about its beauty or usefulness. She signed their names and went on to the next gift. At the same time, I was recording the gifts in her wedding album. By the time they finished opening the gifts, all the thank-yous were written, and they only needed to put the addresses on the envelopes. So many of my friends later commented, “I can’t believe we already got our thank-you note!” -- and it was such a relief for her to have that daunting task done. The grandparents also enjoyed being included at the gift opening party. -- Mother of the Bride Dear Mom: We are truly impressed.

May coached YBC and Special Olympics bowling and this sport has always been a part of the Willmott family. She sang in the United Church choir and was always very generous to family and friends. May leaves to mourn her passing her son, Graham (Graine) Willmott and daughter, Miriam Rice as well as her grandchildren; Andrea (Richard), Ken, Scott (Dawn), Ilia (Chris), Katrina and Ashley and her great grandchildren; Curtis, Page, Aric, Saskia, Michael, Blane, Jorden, Damian, Angus, Alayna, Jordan, Nathan, Hayden and Chance. May also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her daughter Glynis (Sue) Maine, brother Ernest Lawrence and sister Iris Gould. There will be no funeral service at this time but a Celebration of May’s Life will be held on March 28, 2015 at the Cranbrook Seniors Hall from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Memorial donations in May’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Creston OR warms up with EKFH donation F or Th e Towns ma n
Over the past few months the board of directors at EKFH (East Kootenay Foundation for Health) have been making a list; an equipment and patient comfort list. In addition to its ongoing fundraising for both its annual campaign (Starlite Campaign) and the upcoming capital campaign (EKRH ICU Equipment) the foundation took on an extra special funding project. In late August, EKFH had a maturing GIC of $100,000. In a unanimous vote of support the Board of Directors made a decision to cash out the GIC and focus on purchasing medical equipment or patient comforts that had a cost of $5,000 or less. Interior Health’s Acute Care, Community Integrated, Allied Health, Di-
agnostic Imaging and Residential Care portfolios were asked to submit their ‘wish list’ of what their area of care could benefit from. EKFH received ‘wish lists’ for a total of $285,000. Although making a decision on what to fund was extremely difficult the EKFH Board approved and is now releasing a total of $98,697 in funding support. The types of equipment vary across the region and are now starting to arrive at the sites. The latest piece of equipment is a $4,350 blanket warmer for the Creston Operating Room.

Let’s Grow Together
Learning to be with the present W hat comes to your mind when you think about meditating? Sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, chanting? While this is certainly meditation I want to point out other forms as well that tend to be looked over; prayer, chanting, breathing, ritual, exercise, viewing art, and even listening to music. The goal of meditation is learning to “be�
with the present, by allowing the mind to rest from thoughts, which means allowing thoughts to pass through rather than thinking about each one. When first starting out I recommend breathing meditation because it is the easiest. In a breathing meditation, find a relaxing, comfortable seat and allow the spine to be straight and tall. Focus on breathing from the
Amanda Greenthumb
stomach, in even slow breathes. If a thought enters your mind ac-
knowledge it, and let it go. Allow your mind to grow still. There is no right or wrong way to meditate.

Complications, confusion in the relationship Hi Wendy: I came to you a couple of times for readings in the summer. My friend gave me your email address because I am no longer living in Cranbrook. You told me in my last session to email you if I moved and so this is what I am doing hoping you will help me with a few questions. I am dating a man to see if it will develop into a longterm serious relationship. There have definitely been complications in the relationship and I am wondering if he is the one for me? I may have screwed things up because I have been rather hard on him emotionally. Do you see this man as the man I am going to marry? If you do not see this relationship working do you see me ever getting married? I really need your help, Wendy. Feeling Drained
Dear Feeling Drained: I asked my guides several different questions in regards to your issue and this surprisingly is what I have discovered: Q. Will this relationship this woman is having with this man be successful? A. Yes, in the way of her learning her lessons. This is why she is with this man at this time. Q. May I be allowed to do a “spec� on this man? A. Yes, he does drink alcohol and he qualifies as an alcoholic in our opinion. He does take street drugs. He is not a verbal abuser but he can be a physical abuser of women. My guides are showing me that this is definitely the case in his past relationships with the women he went out with. He is very secretive in what he does and he has lied to the women he has gone out with. He has a moody personality. He has emotional high and
ASK WENDY Wendy Evano low behaviour patterns. These types of mood shifts have to do with his street drug and alcohol intake. Q. Has this woman been emotionally nasty to this man in the relationship? A. Yes, because of his not telling her where he goes or his secrets he keeps makes her anxious and nervous. Her anxiety levels get high and then she emotionally becomes quite volatile. In her heart she knows that the stories he tells her are not all of the truth. Q. Will this woman get married on this plane in this lifetime? A. Yes Q. Will she have more than one marriage on this
plane in this lifetime? A. Yes, possibly three if she does not get some help and learn her lessons. Q. Why is she going out with this man who has so many problems? There are definitely some past life episodes these two have endured together. Also, because she refuses to learn the lessons in the relationships she has had with men from her past. Her relationships with all these men are based on her fears on several different levels. You know that decisions based on an individuals fear are the wrong decisions. A time for grounding and understanding your emotions and your feelings deep inside are imperative before making any serious commitments to anything in ones’ life. Thank You. End of Session On a personal note I was quite surprised during this session of my guides respons-
es to the questions. Usually it’s quite straight forward whether a relationship between a man and a woman will be successful or not. I would really think about taking my guide’s advice and seeking some help for yourself. Your self-esteem is low and you live in fear of never being with anyone you truly love or loves you back or getting married or being accepted for you in your relationships. I think some counselling in these areas may help you become more secure in finding a man you can feel at peace with and whom you can trust. Wendy

NEWS Advocates for sexual assault victims encouraged by Ghomeshi charges C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - The sexual assault charges filed against former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi offer tentative hope to those who fear their claims will be dismissed by an indifferent law enforcement system, victims’ advocates said Wednesday. Their optimism, however, is tempered by the sweeping changes they argue would need to take place if the Ghomeshi case is to become the rule rather than the exception. Sexual assault is widely considered to be grossly under-reported, and rape crisis counsellor Hilla Kerner says the complaints that are filed rarely get aired before a judge or jury. While she and her colleagues at the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter fear that Ghomeshi’s day in court came about in part because of his prominent public profile, she said it still represents a victory. “This is a very rare example that the police actually was very diligent, very fast and thorough, and the result is criminal charges,” Kerner said in a telephone interview.
“So we do think that it will create a positive effect. That women can see that where there is a will there is a way and the police are diligent. Unfortunately, we’re afraid that the police only acted like that because there was such a public outcry.” The former “Q” radio host was charged Wednesday with four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. He was released on bail and was ordered to live with his mother, surrender his passport and remain in Ontario. Kerner said allegations of sexual assault against Ghomeshi from multiple women spanning more than a decade sparked outrage the likes of which she’s rarely seen. The 47-year-old former host was fired by CBC on Oct. 26 after the public broadcaster said it had seen “graphic evidence” that he had physically injured a woman. Since his dismissal, nine women have come forward with allegations that Ghomeshi sexually or physically assaulted them, and three of them ultimately filed police
complaints. Ghomeshi has admitted that he engaged in “rough sex” but insisted his encounters with women were consensual. Ghomeshi’s lawyer Marie Henein has also said that her client intends to plead not guilty to the charges. Kerner said the case has had some decided positive effects, namely triggering a public dialog about what constitutes assault. The fact that Ghomeshi is now facing charges, she said, means the conversation can progress to a new and necessary phase. “We’re in a moment that I don’t think we’ve had before in terms of public understanding and support for victims of sexual assault,” she said. “The conversation was heavily focusing on why women do not come forward, and now we can talk about what will allow women to come forward: public support, public belief and a criminal justice system that takes responsibility to protect women.” Erin Ellis, a Toronto-based lawyer who represents sexual assault victims in civil suits, said the Ghomeshi
case has potential to be an educational one for women debating whether to speak up. Wednesday’s charges are a concrete reminder that there is no statute of limitations on criminal sexual assault allegations, she said, adding that women may feel reassured by the fact that police can be willing to take their complaints seriously no matter when they’re filed. She said police themselves can also benefit from these high-profile situations, since they pose questions about how victims should be treated. “Every time one of these cases hits the media, it raises awareness, the public reacts, and it forces people to look at how they handle these types of cases,” she said. But others say the Ghomeshi case won’t have much meaningful positive impact unless it changes the way victims are treated once charges are laid. Amanda Dale, executive director of the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic which supports women survivors of violence, says the legal deck is stacked in favour of the defendants
Jian Ghomeshi left court Wednesday after posting bail on sexual assault charges. in sexual assault cases. The women who file complaints may approach police as victims of a crime, but are treated as mere witnesses to one once a trial gets under way. Dale said defence lawyers typically make their cases by attacking the victim’s credibility, adding this approach is unique to sex-based charges.
“If I report a break-in at my house, they don’t ask me if my curtains were left open, if my stereo was too close to the window, if I enjoyed having my house broken into,” she said. “That is how we approach the crime of sexual assault, and I cannot see...that anything is going to have changed by the time this comes to trial.”
Ellis concedes that it’s hard to obtain a sexual assault conviction, since defendants only need to establish reasonable doubt to walk free. But she says any case that comes to trial should be viewed as a step forward and a chance to deepend public awareness around a complex subject.
