Cranbrook ice climber Gord McArthur won the North American Championship at an ice climbing competition in Bozeman, Montana, this past weekend. McArthur also took

fourth in the UIAA Ice Climbing World Cup, and currently sits in fourth place on the UIAA World Cup circuit. The competition took place Dec. 11-14. The two championships were combined in one

event.

The fourth place finish is especially notable because it’s the first time in 13 years that a North American has made it into the finals for the world cup. The last was Will Gadd in

2002. Gadd is a good friend of McArthur, and also a mentor and former coach.

“To sort of fill in his shoes was a real honour for sure,” he said.

On Friday, Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks spoke to the Townsman about a busy and eventful year. He said he’s looking forward to being in the riding for the next few weeks for the Christmas break.

Overall, Wilks said it has been a positive year.

“I’ve been able to move some of this stuff forward that’s important for the riding,” Wilks said. “I’ve been able to secure a significant amount of funding for communities around the riding – specifically to water treatment plants in Nakusp and Creston.

“There are infrastructure issues throughout the riding that each of the communities have been able to take advantage of. Some of those funding announcements were for small amounts, some were for larger amounts, but all-in-all I think everyone benefitted from

DAVID WILKS

some federal funding this year.”

There has also been a significant amount of legislation, with Wilks estimating 20 to 30 pieces.

“There’s been a ton of legislation,” he said, noting that included Bill C-32 — amendments to the Firearms Act — that the Conservatives pledged in the 2011 campaign.

“So slowly making inroads with that and moving forward with that.”

Gord McArthur, pictured aloft on the Bozeman climbing structure, at the combined North American Championships/World Cup, Dec. 11-14.

McArthur sits fourth in circuit Continued from page 1 McArthur was down in Montana for five days.

“It’s always intense and obviously nerves were racing,” he said.

“The usual kind of stress, but obviously it ended up being really successful.”

He said the energy there was electric and competing on home turf made the competition all the more special.

“There was a huge turnout of people. They were saying over 1,000

people were watching in the finals. That kind of energy is always really exciting to be a part of.”

The competition took place on a world cup structure built for the competition. McArthur competes on the technical lead difficulty.

The group had to climb two qualifiers. Then if you qualified you’d go on to the semi-finals.

“There was one route to climb, which as we found out was quite a

high caliber of difficulty,” he said. “From there if you qualified you’d go on to the finals.”

McArthur’s group began with almost 50 competitors, which were reduced to eight for the finals.

Next up on the tour is Cheongsong, Korea from Jan. 10-11. The county is five hours from Seoul and a haven for winter sports. It’s the site of a immense artificial ice climbing wall.

“I’ve got five more

competitions, which would be Korea, Switzerland, Italy, France and then Russia,” he said.

His key right now to training is to remain focused on the overall season and not get too distracted by the big win in Bozeman.

“This was very successful and it was great, but I definitely have a long way to go in the season,” he said. “So just to maintain my training and now sort of take

away what I’ve learned from this competition and apply that in training for the next few weeks.”

McArthur said one thing he’s learned from travelling to big competitions all over the world is to try to have all the logistics and planning organized to reduce stress.

“The idea for competing is to make things the least stressful as possible,” he said. “The more you travel, the more you compete, the more seasoned you become, so the more stress you can remove, which basically allows you to focus on the task at hand.”

McArthur also noted how grateful he is for the local support.

“I would definitely not be doing what I’m doing without local support,” he said, adding his family is also amazing support as well.

POLL WEEK of the

Most recently, there was the introduction of the Universal Childcare Tax Benefit.

“Every family with children, from newborn to 17, will receive a cheque in the mail every month that will go towards how they see fit to take care of their children, on top of a daycare credit that’s available,” he said.

The government also got rid of the Canadian Wheat Board. Wilks noted that was a good thing for Western Canadian farmers.

Wilks personally worked on prostitution bill C-36.

“I sat on the committee for that and believe we came up with the best solution on a no-win type of scenario for us,” he said. “So I think we came up with the best that we could with that.”

Wilks said the legislation on the table is about all that will be coming forward for 2015 until the election on Oct. 19.

“The legislation that we’ve put forward is about what you’re going to see, because we’re running out of time,” he said. “We do have some stuff in Justice Committee that we’re dealing with.”

That includes the Sexual Predators Act, as well as two government bills and three private members bills to deal with. He said that would take them until June.

“I think you’ll see most members of parliament from both sides, including myself, ramping up for the election, getting ready and moving forward to Oct. 19,” he said.

Wilks said he was also able to secure about $50 million in funding for the Trans Canada Highway.

“We were able to repave all of Revelstoke National Park and upgrade three bridges in Glacier National Park,” he said. “That’s one of my most important endeavours within my time in the house of commons. I really would like to see a commitment for the twinning of the Trans Canada highway. It needs to be done, so let’s see what happens in this upcoming budget.”

Wilks was also present on Parliament Hill during the traumatic events of Oct. 22, when a lone gunman shot and killed a Canadian soldier on sentry duty. The gunman was then shot and killed by the Commons Sergeant at Arms.

“That will be a day that many Canadians, including myself, won’t forget,” he said.

Wilks will be visiting Cranbrook and Creston the week of Dec. 15. Thursday, Dec. 18 is a constituency day, where people can arrange a meeting with MP Wilks. Then there is also an open house on Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 100 - B Cranbrook Street North.

“People can just drop in and have a chat with me,” he said.

The office will then close down for Christmas.

“Then we get back at it in January and during the month of January I’ll be focusing on the northern part of the riding, so revel stoke, Golden, Invermere, Nelson and then over to the West as well.

Canadian champion Judi Leinweber ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Townsman

Local girl Judi Leinweber burst upon the International Ski Scene as a 17-year-old competing for Canada in the 1968 Winter Olympic Games, which were held in Grenoble, France.

Born and raised in Kimberley, Judi, was — for lack of a better word — a natural. On the Canadian National Ski Team at the age of 15, Judi was actually still in High School whilst competing in the Winter Olympics, finishing a very creditable 20th in Downhill, and 25th in Giant Slalom.

Ms. Leinweber and a team mate carried a jubilant Nancy Greene on their shoulders to accept the Gold Medal for Canada in Giant Slalom.

The best skiing family to ever

structors to Japan every winter for many seasons to teach skiing in the Far East.

Their sister Deidre was an excellent skier, too. And Mr. Harrold Leinweber was a ski pro up at North Star Mountain, and a very gifted skier, in his own right.

By the way, Judi Leinweber was the Canadian Ladies Alpine Champion in 1969, which basically means she was the best woman skier in Canada that year.

Both Lonnie and Judi Leinweber continue to ski “lights out.” I saw Judi skiing in Fernie about seven years ago and she still had it.

Lonnie’s son Antoine, who sadly passed away rock climbing a few years ago, was a real skiing talent too, with a beautiful skiing style which is the trademark of the Leinweber Family.

It seems the Cranbrook Garden Club has a few of their own elves not sitting on a shelf but bringing their magic to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

In the spring and summer their green thumbs brighten up the flower boxes surrounding the hospital parking lot and making the cafeteria outdoor seating area an oasis for a welcomed break by staff and visitors. This Christmas a group of the elves had their green thumbs turn into gingerbread fingers bringing a unique themed tree to the lobby of the regional hospital.

Led by April Lund, Head Elf & Tree Designer, a quarry of elves (April, Pat Bailey, Linda Muraro, Debbie Sinclair and Janice Collins) have created a stunning holiday tree for all to enjoy.“ The theme was created with two ideas,” said April Lund. “We have cheery little gingerbread people encouraging donations to EKFH’s ICU campaign and a variety of children’s toys that

Opinion/Events

It’s feast season: Celebrate holiday eating Tar a S tark

A

re you already feeling guilty about the holiday eating you haven’t even done? “I always eat so much over the holidays. I’m sooo bad!”

How many of us have thought that way at one time or another?

With all of the social pressure to be stick thin, it’s easy to fall into the trap of judging yourself based on the food you are eating.

If you believe your weight or your enjoyment of holiday foods makes you a lesser person, you could be eroding your self-esteem and your body-image which can hinder your enjoyment of life and lead to disordered eating down the road. Taking pleasure in eating is a natural part of life and something that is worthy of celebration.

Why do we associate food with our sense of worth? There are many reasons, but a common theme is a fear of weightgain and desire to be thin. We often feel bad when we eat foods that we think do not contribute to health. But health is not just the prevention of diet-related diseases. The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.

If we allow food or our weight to make us feel bad because we want a slim body, then how much emotional energy is available to help us live meaningful lives? While there are certainly some foods that nourish our bodies better than others there are also foods that nurture our souls. We should be able to enjoy a variety of foods in balance

and moderation and have this enhance our lives without damaging our sense of worth. Exploring and enjoying the food culture of our holiday seasons adds richness to our holiday experience. It gives us a sense of tradition and strengthens our connections with our families and our friends.

This holiday season; make a commitment to not criticize yourself for every gingerbread cookie you enjoy. Serve up fruits and vegetables in addition to sweet treats whenever you can and get outside for a daily dose of activity and fresh winter air. Most of all enjoy sharing time and tradition with those you love.

Towards a youth-friendly community Ta r a Woods

W

elcome to the first guest column in the Daily Townsman from CBK Youth!

In our monthly columns, we’ll be talking about what’s happening with youth in Cranbrook, CBK Youth events and projects, and youth-relevant issues.

CBK Youth is a youth engagement project in the City of Cranbrook. Big Brothers Big Sisters holds and supervises the contract, and we are funded by Columbia Basin Trust through their Community Directed Youth Funds, a fouryear funded project that is happening in communities throughout the Basin. We are in our second year of this project.

Our purpose is to create a youth-friendly community

based on what our youth identify as their wants and needs.

We have a Youth Action Team consisting of youth ages 12-18 that directs the goals of CBK Youth, a Project Advisory Committee consisting of respected, educated and experienced service providers and community members, and a Project Coordinator, Tara Woods, who works with youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the community to reach the project’s goals.

At the start of the project, CBK Youth held a survey that was completed by over 350 local youth. Through the survey we found out that even though there are cool things going on for youth, 46% of youth surveyed don’t know about it. 68% of youth surveyed feel that they do not have a voice in the community, and

51% do not feel valued in Cranbrook. 53% do however feel that our city does make a great effort to acknowledge youth who do contribute to the community in their own way.

In response to these statistics, we’ve been hard at work connecting with resources, supporting the Youth Action Team in their goals, working with organizations and agencies in the community, and working directly with individual youth in their plans for a more youth-friendly Cranbrook. We have a Facebook page (CBKyouth) and a website (cbkyouth.ca) that are great resources for events, interesting videos and posts.

We are also currently recruiting passionate and dedicated youth ages 12-18 to join our Youth Action Team. It requires about 4-6 hours a

month, an open mind and a willingness to work with others to create a really cool community. We’ll be meeting at the sitting area in Safeway at 4 PM on Thursday, December 18th and again on Thursday, January 8th. There’s always free food and drinks, and it’s a great opportunity to clock volunteer hours for resumes and school applications. We have also started a Youth Service Provider Network for organizations, agencies and schools to work together in providing support for youth, and new members are welcome!

Tara Woods, Project Coordinator, is in the office or out in the community on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

She can be reached at 1.778.977.5434 or tara.woods@ bigbrothersbigsisters.ca

Horgan on LNG, climate and farmland Tom Fletcher

Following are highlights from Tom Fletcher’s year-end interview with NDP leader John Horgan. For an extended version, see the Opinion section at www.dailytownsman.com.

TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think?

JH: I’ve always maintained that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-9-10-12 billion onto the backs of ratepayers.

First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it.

The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process.

TF: You voted for the liquefied natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started. How is that

Tuesday, DECember 16, 2014

certainty?

JH: I thought it was important that the investment community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia.

But we went from a seven per cent [tax] to a 3.5 per cent because of a softening market.

If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period – not just between now and 2017, but if the market conditions change and prices go up – I think British Columbians would want their government to make sure they were getting a fair share of that benefit.

TF: Why did you vote against the LNG environmental legislation?

JH: They said prior to the election that LNG would be the greenest in the world. And then when they tabled legislation they left out 70 per cent of the emissions from upstream activity.

TF: Gordon Campbell’s great goal for greenhouse gases, 33

per cent reduction by 2020, can that be reached assuming a substantial LNG development?

JH: I find it difficult to believe that they’re going to achieve those results. [Environment Minister] Mary Polak has a different point of view, and our job as opposition is to hold them accountable to the numbers that they passed into law, and we’re going to do that.

One of the three sectors, housing, energy and transportation, where emission profiles can be managed downward is transportation. And the government has wasted 18 months talking about a referendum on [Metro Vancouver transit.]

TF: What’s your top priority for 2015?

JH: I think the public is going to increasingly find affordability issues to be the challenge. We didn’t spend as much time as I had hoped to on hydro rate increases, ICBC. When the government balanced the budget, they did it by selling assets, and by increasing costs at their Crown corpo-

rations and then pulling that revenue in for budget purposes.

We’re going to have to use new technologies and means of communication to better explain to people what the government’s doing to them.

TF: What should happen with the agricultural land reserve?

JH: I don’t think there was a groundswell of opposition to the ALR, quite the opposite in fact, and the commission has in my opinion, infinite flexibility to meet the demands of development in northern areas as well as urban centres.

I’m going to make sure that [agriculture critic] Lana Popham, who as you know is fearless on this issue, is let loose on [Agriculture Minister] Norm Letnick, and we’re going to dog this issue up to the next election.

Biologist Matthew Carrigan, from cannot trust Stephen Harper, cannot trust Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida, this government,” Davis told CBC News.

One wonders if Davis will go as far as has the theory that about 10 million years ago a mutation appeared in the common former Newfoundland Labrador Premier Danny Williams, who orancestor we share with godered all Canadian flags rillas and chimpanzees, removed from the governwhich allowed that primiment offices after a dispute tive ape to tolerate and with the Federal governbreak down alcohol.

Apparently this PaleoThe common thread is zoic Godzilla discovered Grant Prime Minister Stephen that eating fruit which was Harper, who annoyed Wilfermenting on the ground gave him a feeling of well-being, a belief liams to the extent that he launched an that he was more attractive to the local Anything But Conservative campaign and apettes than he may have thought when took to calling the PM ‘Steve’ in a voice not chewing on the forbidden fruit. And dripping with disdain.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Perhaps Premier Wynne should send the PM a nice basket of fermented fruit for Christmas to grease the wheels, so to speak.

Meanwhile in Alberta the government has put its four-plane fleet of aircraft up for sale for $11 million. These aircraft were a key element in the downfall of former Premier Alison Redford, when the provincial Auditor General sharply criticized her for her ‘personal use’ of them.

Alberta government ministers and officials will now have to fly *shudder* commercial with the rest of us apes.

Moving into B.C., I’m sure the last thing Steve Harper wants to end his year is to deal with anything involving the Senate. He’s had enough of that august body, I’m sure. But a Vancouver lawyer is taking him to court, citing Harper’s failure to fill 16 vacant Senate seats. This, says Aniz Alani, who has an interest in constitutional law, is not constitutional. The constitution says the seats should be filled when a vacancy occurs. The PM himself says he isn’t being inundated with calls from Canadians begging for the seats to be filled.

And no wonder, given various recent actions by too many Senators to mention.

Would it make any difference if the seats were filled? Maybe PM should just appoint some placeholders. Maybe even an ape would do. As long as you kept giving them fermented fruit, would anyone even notice?

Keeping pace

Nitros earn three of four points over weekend; face Creston Valley Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters came away with three of a possible four points this past weekend, keeping pace in the KIJHL’s ever-competitive Eddie Mountain Division.

Friday night, the Nitros earned one point in a 2-1 overtime road loss to the Spokane Braves.

Back home the following night, the Dynamiters cruised to a resounding 5-1 victory over the Golden Rockets.

“It was a really positive weekend, three points and some good character building,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Monday.

Friday in Spokane the Dynamiters opened the scoring courtesy a power-play goal from defenceman Jordan Busch.

After Braves forward Dillon Bogart tied the game in the second period, the two teams battled through a scoreless third before heading to overtime.

Braves forward Kurtis Redding ensured the extra point for the hosts, ending the game 27 seconds into overtime.

After returning from Spokane at 4:30 a.m., the Nitros were back at it

with a Saturday night tilt against the Golden Rockets.

The brand-new combination of Lincoln Lane, Braden Saretsky and Jason Richter led the Dynamiters to a 5-1 victory over their Eddie Mountain Division rivals.

For Lane, Saturday marked his Dynamiters debut after GM Dave Smith officially completed a deal with the Grand Forks Border Bruins Friday afternoon, acquiring the native of Cloverdale, B.C., for cash and future considerations.

“It’s increased our hockey IQ as a group of forwards a whole bunch,” Bancks said of the recent additions of Lane and Saretsky.

“They play smart hockey. They’re good hockey players with good hands. That’s the biggest thing -- it gives us a

lot more depth up front.

“Everybody will benefit from having them in the group.”

Skating alongside the two newest Nitros, captain Jason Richter registered two goals, including what stood as the eventual game-winner Saturday night.

Lane found himself on the helping side of both Richter’s tallies, earning assists on each.

Saretsky found his way to the scoresheet Saturday night as well, adding the Dynamiters third goal and assisting on both of Richter’s markers as well.

“That whole line played extremely well,” Bancks said. “They clicked.”

Lane wasn’t the only fresh body making an appearance this weekend.

Kootenay Ice host Kamloops Blazers in final test before holiday break Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kamloops Blazers roll into Cranbrook as the final test for the Kootenay Ice before the holiday break.

“Kamloops is real important seeing as it’s the last [game] before the holidays,” said Ice forward Matt Alfaro after Saturday’s win against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

“It’s a big game.”

The Ice climbed back into the WHL playoff picture with Saturday’s 6-3 triumph over their Central Division rival.

A win against the Blazers would push the Ice (17-17-0-0) beyond the .500 mark.

Kamloops arrives in Cranbrook fresh off a 4-2 win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes Sun-

day afternoon.

Tuesday’s game against the Ice will be the fifth stop on a sixgame pre-holiday road trip for the Blazers, who haven’t seen the ice at Interior Savings Centre since the Prince George Cougars handed them a 6-3 defeat Dec. 6. The Blazers close out the road swing Wednesday night in Medicine Hat against the Tigers.

As for the Ice, they look to head into Christmas on a three-game winning streak after dropping their previous Tuesday tilt -- a 4-1 decision against Medicine Hat, Dec. 9.

Following Tuesday’s contest, the Ice shut things down for the holiday season before returning to action Dec. 27

APs playing all the way through.

“They played well and they’ll probably get an opportunity to play again…It gives them a chance to see what they’ve got to do to play in this league on a fulltime basis next year, so it’s always a good process.”

Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer was between the pipes for both games this weekend, making 24 stops in Spokane before turning

aside 27 pucks for the win against Golden.

The three-point weekend pushed the Dynamiters (16-12-1-3) into a third-place tie with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (16-11-13). Both teams have laid claim to 36 points this season, but Creston Valley holds the tiebreaker on the strength of a 3-10-0 head-to-head record against the Nitros.

The Dynamiters and Thunder Cats meet for the fifth time this season

Tuesday night at Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.

“We probably need to play harder on the road,” Bancks said. “We have to bear down more, pretend you’re playing in front of friends and family and go get the job done.

“We’ve got to outwork them. Plain and simple. They’re a hard-working team.

“We’ve got to make sure we’re prepared to work harder than they are.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Unexpected developments could point to a different response. Someone who considers him- or herself to be more important than you could become quite controlling. Be creative and optimistic, and find a way to ignore this person. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pace yourself, as you could have a lot of ground to cover.

You won’t hesitate to let others know when you have had enough. You might come off as erratic to some, but to the right person, you will be seen as exciting. Tonight: Note what is not being said.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might discover that a friend is not as stable as you previously had thought. Tap into your sense of humor to deal with this person. Meanwhile, an important person in your life could let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Have an important discussion with a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You wouldn’t be as in demand as you are if you did not excel in a certain area. You might want to spend more time at home if you are feeling overwhelmed. If a loved one becomes controlling, know that it is just reflecting his or her insecurity. Tonight: Happy at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a way of drawing people to you and identifying with them. This sense of understanding creates more give-and-take.

A co-worker who is fun to work with will add to the moment.

Make and return calls, and don’t put off any important decisions.

Tonight: Your treat.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your instincts will be right-on with a money matter. Your creativity with taking risks might work well on paper, but it won’t play out the way you would like it to. You could have a hard time understanding why this is. Ask a loved one for feedback. Tonight: Indulge a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could see that a situation

Tundra

seems to be taking on a new twist. Ask questions and listen well to the answer. What you think is going on and what is actually happening might be two different things. Avoid projecting your issues onto the situation. Tonight: Go for what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will want to keep your own counsel for now. A hunch you have about someone else could pay off. You might be ready to add depth to this relationship.

Try not to insert any biased judgments into the discussion.

Stay open-minded. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be in the mood to do some shopping, especially for a very special loved one. What you choose could delight this person to no end. Don’t forget about a dear friend or relative at a distance. Make plans to visit soon.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have an endearing quality about you that draws many people toward you. You might

decide to become even more verbal in the next few weeks.

Choose your words with your customary precision, and your message will be well-received.

Tonight: Out and about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are prone to do research rather than take anyone’s advice. You trust hard facts more than opinions. A lovable friend or associate might add a lot of laughter and fun when he or she appears. Take a break when you see this person. Tonight: Choose your company with care.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see a personal matter much differently from how another party sees it. Why not just respect the differences in your experiences? Understand that you might need to discuss alternative ways of handling problems of this nature in the future. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 18-year-old cousin, “Rick,” has been seeing a friend of mine for some time. Now I am in an awkward position. My friend “Joanie” told Rick she liked him, but he told her he didn’t feel the same way about her. They were together for a short time, but even then, Rick was talking to other girls. He now has an actual girlfriend. But it seems that Rick and Joanie still have something going on.

Do I ignore their weird relationship, knowing he has a girlfriend? Do I tell them straight up to talk things out because I’m confused about their relationship? Joanie is my friend, and I don’t want her to be heartbroken because my cousin is leading her on. How should I advise my friend? -Confused Dear Confused: You need to stay out of this before you are blamed for everything that goes wrong. It sounds as though Joanie is well aware that Rick is seeing someone else. That means however she chooses to handle it is up to her. Your confusion is not her problem. You can tell her you don’t think she and Rick are good together, but you cannot protect her from her own poor choices. You can listen and sympathize, but that’s it. And it’s OK to say directly that you have no intention of getting involved in her love life. So please don’t.

Dear Annie: Every year, my husband and I host a couple of family holiday gatherings.

We exclude two family members because they are not pleasant to be around. One is an obnoxious alcoholic, and the other has psychological problems and is antisocial. I decided years ago never to have them in my home again.

The problem is, my great-aunt, “Betsy,” insists that these two be included and, against my wishes, invites them herself.

I’m outraged by this rude behavior and have told her repeatedly not to do this.

But Aunt Betsy recently informed me that she has invited them again this year. She’s determined to have it her way, and I’m at my wits’ end. What should I do about her?

-- Fed Up with Family Dear Fed Up: You have three choices: Tolerate it, stop inviting Aunt Betsy or stop hosting family events. We understand that she wants the entire family included, especially for holidays, and we sympathize.

Normally, we recommend tolerating the relatives for the few times a year that this happens. But it’s your home and your guest list, and, right or wrong, no one else gets to make those decisions. For the next gathering, you might suggest to Aunt Betsy that she host the event and invite whomever she wishes. Or perhaps one of the other relatives would be willing to take on this responsibility. Then your choice is simply whether or not to attend.

Dear Annie: I found the letter from “Fed Up” to be heartbreaking, partly because I, too, have suffered from depression and anxiety most of my life. I went from one doctor to another, being medicated with “the latest thing out there,” only it didn’t work for me. More than once I was put on multiple medications that rendered me unable to function properly. I felt like I was walking around in a daze.

My life changed the day I saw a psychiatrist/pharmacologist. The added knowledge of pharmacology is remarkable. These doctors know about specific medications, their side effects and what medications don’t mix well. The wrong medications cost me my career, and even though I am back to “normal” now, my career cannot be restored.

Seeing the wrong doctors nearly turned my life into a total loss. The right one changed my life in a fabulous way. Please pass along the information to “Fed Up”. The right doctor just might help him find the quality of life he so desperately needs. -Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

It is with great sadness in our hearts that the family of Tiger (Robert Dara) Thygesen announces his passing on December 10, 2014 while doing what he loved most: enjoying time with his family. He leaves behind his wife Beverley, children Wendy (Dennis), Tim (Holly), Greg (Joanne), Patti (Fraser), Corryn (Neil), 13 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Tiger was born in Cereal, AB where he was welcomed by his family including seven sisters and five brothers.

His childhood memories are in Oyen, AB where strong family values, including endless laughter and singing, were shared. In his early teens Tiger moved to Invermere, BC where he met and then married his high school sweetheart Beverley Lockhart in 1957.

As newlyweds they moved to Calgary, AB where Tiger attended SAIT to become a Millwright. In 1960 Tiger and Bev moved to Kimberley, BC where he opened T&T Super Service (currently Kimberley Shell Station and A&W), which he owned and operated for five years. He then worked briefly at Comincoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fertilizer plant before moving on to Crestbrook Forest Industries/Tembec Inc. where he devoted 33 years of service as a heavy duty mechanic.

Tiger had a passion for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care and it was this passion that fueled the Tiger Open Golf Tournament. His endless efforts to raise money for the Alberta Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital earned him the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alberta Philanthropist Awardâ&#x20AC;? from the Association of Fundraising Professionals in 2002.

daily townsman / daily bulletin

A great crowd turned out at the Kimberley Civic Arena on Sunday for the Annual Dynamiters Skate with Santa event. Kids both big and small took a few moments to whisper their Christmas wishes to the big guy, get their picture taken and skate away with a goodie bag. There were smiles all around!

The Dynamiters organization wishes the entire Kimberley community a very Merry Christmas! Be sure to cheer on the team at their last home game before Christmas as they take on rival Fernie Ghostriders at the Civic Center this Saturday December 20th at 7pm.
