Two men arrested Drugs and weapons seized during search in Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Two Kimberley males are facing drug charges after a search warrant was executed late on January 6. The Kimberley/Cranbrook Crime Reduction Unit obtained a search warrant and with the assistance of Cranbrook and Kimberley General Duty members searched a residence on 6th Ave in Kimberley. Two males (21 and 22) were taken into custody; they have since been released for court in March. Seized during the search was small quantity of marijuana and evidence to support drug trafficking charges along with a large machete. A machete is not necessarily considered a weapon, Newel said, but when drug trafficking is involved, it’s a different story. “Under a normal search warrant, it may be different, but once you associate it with drug trafficking, a machete becomes an issue. Courts take a dim view of any type of weapon involved with drug trafficking.”

Authentic fish and chips at Britner’s C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Fish and chips? Perhaps a chip barm? Mushy peas? They’re taking orders for all that and more at Kimberley’s newest restaurant, Britner’s Fish and Chips in Blarchmont. Sinead and Andy Britner are two transplanted Brits from Manchester who found themselves longing for a good feed of British fish and chips, and wondering why there wasn’t such a restaurant in Kimberley, where European visitors abound. The couple knows their fish and chips, this being the third Britner’s fish and chips shop, though the first in Canada. Andy grew up in his parents’ shop and recalls peeling potatoes in the restaurant kitchen at 12 years old. They emigrated to Canada and Kimberley eight years ago, and have now decided to open the business. Things have been going very well so far in the small restaurant space on Warren Avenue. Britner’s Fish and Chips offers sit down dining but their mainstay is take out. The menu offers a full range of British items, just like you’d find back in England, including the chip barm, which is a french fry sandwich, a very popular luncheon item in Manchester, Sinead says. But the house specialty is fish and chips and quality and freshness are the bywords. “Most chains use pre-portioned pieces, but we get our fish frozen at sea, so it’s the freshest you can get,” Sinead said. “It’s fileted at sea and we get it in steaks, which we cut to six to eight ounces. We make our own batter — it’s a secret family recipe.” Fries are fresh cut from whole potatoes daily,using a chipping machine brought over from England. The oil is filtered daily and there are three separate oil fryers, one for fish, one for chips and one for

other meats. “We also make our own curry and mushy peas,” she said. “It’s a menu that you would find in any fish and chip shop in England.” The restaurant is open five days a week —Tuesday through Sat-

urday. It opens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., then closes for clean up and prep, reopening at 4:30 to 7:30. It is open late on Friday and will stay open until 9:30 p.m. when the Dynamiters play at home. Check out more

With the success of the farmers market in both the summer and fall, there are plans afoot to create an indoor market on every second Saturday of the month starting at the end of January. “People really love the market, we’ve had such great response to the winter markets that we host in late November so the feedback, the response from both the vendors and our market patrons, has been we’d love to see more markets, we’d love to have markets available on a year-round basis,” said Erna Jensen, manager for Cranbrook Farmers Market. “We’ve looked for lo-

cations that might be suitable and we are going to give this one a try, using the Ktunaxa gym. We think it’s a nice central, downtown location, it’s got parking available and should give us a good space to be able to create a really nice atmosphere for an indoor market to take place. The first one will kick off on Saturday, Jan. 24, running from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the old Tembec gym which is now part of the Ktunaxa Nation office. It will run every two weeks from there on in. “We put out the call to vendors yesterday… but happy to report that the response in one day has been really great with lots of our farmers and food producers that we’re really excited about,” said Jensen. “We love our artisans as well, but we know that food is often what

draws people out to the market, so very excited about that. “We’ll be working hard to pull it all together so that we can offer folks the opportunity to shop locally at the Cranbrook Farmers Market indoor market.” While it is the middle of winter, there are still fresh produce options that will be available, added Jensen. “Obviously, the cli-

mate that we live in, you’re not going to have the variety that we have at a summer market, but some of the vendors that have responded to date, we will have organic beef available, we’ll have farm-fresh eggs available, we’ll have fresh baked sourdough bread available. “Carrots, some of the root veggies, apple cider, that kind of thing.”

continues — and there is no particular reason to believe that the Syrian civil war will end soon — then Germany will add another two million Muslim immigrants to its population in the next decade. And they too will have higher birth rates than the locals. With its current asylum policy, Germany could be 10 percent Muslim ten years from now. You might reasonably ask: what’s wrong with having a 10 percent Muslim population? But it’s hard to think of a Muslim country that would welcome the relatively sudden arrival of a 10 percent Christian minority with equanimity. And special thanks to the Islamist thugs who committed the massacre at “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris on Wednesday for making it even harder for Europeans to see the difference between terrorist fanatics and ordinary Muslims. Most Europeans still try to see things in proportion and not judge all Muslims by the acts of a few, but they are failing more frequently. People are people, and their tolerance has limits. Even in Sweden, the most heroically open country in Europe, where they are expecting more than 100,000 asylum applications this year, former prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said just before last September’s election: “I’m now pleading with the Swedish people to have patience, to open your hearts, to see people in high distress whose lives are being threatened. Show them that openness, show them tolerance.” Once more, the Swedes did that. The mainstream parties, all of which share that vision of Sweden, have formed a coalition government that is pledged not to slam the gates shut on asylum-seekers. But the anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, more than doubled its vote and became the third-largest party. Even in Sweden, time is running out on tolerance.

Lt. Gov. sponsors youth environment program To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

Inspired by her holistic ranching background, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon has launched a province-wide environmental education program for high school teachers and youth leaders. Stewards of the Future offers grants of up to $800 per group to cover field trips, fees for programs and guess speakers, equipment and teacher release time for projects. It is offered for students from grades 9-12, First Nations educators, 4-H, Guide and Scout groups and environment clubs, with an application deadline of Jan. 23 for the spring program. “Through Stewards of the Future, students will have the opportunity to explore issues that affect the land, water and other natural resources in British Columbia,” Guichon said. “The goal of this program is not to solve the challenges we face, but rather to encourage

open discussion and gain a better understanding of the issues that affect our natural surroundings.” Program partners, including the education ministry and B.C. Parks, offer support for projects such as research on invasive species leading to mapping and removal. The Stewards of the Future toolkit emphasizes hands-on “place-based” experience to appreciate and enhance biodiversity.

Mental Health In Children and Youth

When it is more than anxiety or depression Eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder

This is the fifth in a weekly series on mental health in children and youth by Dr. David Smith

he ages between 12 to 24 are challenging for almost all youth. The biological, social, physical and psychological path to adulthood is not easy, even under the best of circumstances. But coupled with that tough journey is the fact that 75 per cent of all mental health disorders first show up in these teen/young adult years, too. For the majority, the mental health issue is apt to be mild to moderate anxiety or depression; both highly treatable. A number of other very important mental health issues, however, also tend to arise first in the teen years. Here is some general information and links to resources for two specific issues: eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Next week we will talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In all cases, if you suspect your child might be suffering from a specific condition talk to your family doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health clinic provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your nearest community. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 to find the nearest MCFD office to you. Eating disorders: The transition from adolescence to adulthood is particularly risky for the development of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). An estimated 0.9% of young women aged 12 to 24 will develop AN, while about 1.5 % of young women develop BN. While young women are three times more likely to develop these disorders, young men in recent years are increasingly showing to have eating issues. While our societal obsession with thinness may set the scene; genetic risk factors, as well as underlying anxiety, perfectionism

and self-esteem issues are thought to combine to trigger the disorders. Once anorexia starts and the body gets into starvation mode, the brain chemistry changes. As well, the body’s dehydration, altered electrolyte balance and poor nutritional status can lead to heart rhythm issues and other organ function problems. The goal in treating anorexia is to re-feed the person to a healthier weight, and then treat the disordered thinking behind the condition, with one or more of the most effective treatments. These treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), family-based therapy and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT). Re-feeding and psychotherapy may co-occur once the person is progressing to a healthier weight. With bulimia, along with CBT, antidepressant medication has been shown to be helpful. In both conditions, Dr. David medications may be helpful there is a co-occurring Smith ifmood or anxiety disorder, as is often the case. Symptoms of AN to look for in your teen include rapid or significant weight loss, food restriction and obsession with calories or exercise. For BN, weight loss may not be very apparent, but your teen may go to the washroom immediately after eating and run the water. You may see evidence of vomiting in the toilet bowl. Since anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, it is important to seek help at the first signs. For more information and to see a full listing of provincial programs, including the Provincial Specialized Eating Disorders Program for Children and Adolescents at BC Children’s Hospital, as well for videos and other helpful information, see Kelty Eating Disorders, keltyeatingdisorders.ca. Another source for information is the National Eating Disorders Information Centre, nedic.ca. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Obsessions are repetitive, intrusive and unwanted thoughts that cause the affected

youth great anxiety. Compulsions are the actions or the rituals that he or she must go through to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessive thoughts. A very common OCD obsession is about contamination or germs, with the compulsion being the need to hand wash repeatedly or avoid any surface, individual or situation where germs might be present. Another common OCD obsession is the fear that something terrible will happen unless the youth takes a specific ritualistic action, like counting, checking, or placing items in a specific order. Genetic risk factors plus an environmental trigger are thought to set off the illness, which tends to run in families. One environmental trigger that may be linked to sudden onset OCD symptoms in some susceptible children is a recent infection with Streptococcus A bacteria (Strep throat.) This burgeoning, but controversial area of research may yield more insights in future years. Treatment with antidepressant-types of medication plus exposure response prevention therapy – a specific form of cognitive behavioural therapy that features gradual exposure to the issue causing the obsessive thoughts and compulsions — has been shown to have success with some individuals. Left untreated, however, OCD can be very debilitating. The longer the OCD goes on, the harder it is to treat. Again, if you are worried about possible signs of OCD in your child, see your family doctor or the Ministry of Children and Family Development CYMH clinic in your region. They may refer your child to specialized services, such as psychiatric services or the specialized OCD program at BC Children’s Hospital.

Default debacle in Kimberley

KIJHL’s Dynamiters latest team hampered by player-eligibility mix up; forfeit win over Columbia Valley Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters 8-1 victory over the Columbia Valley Rockies is no more as the Dynamiters have defaulted Friday’s game against the Rockies due to dressing an ineligible player. According to Phil Iddon, vice-president of the KIJHL’s Eddie Moun-

tain Division, the disciplinary decision was officially handed down Monday after confirming the ineligibility of the player in question with B.C. Hockey and Hockey Canada. “The Kimberley Dynamiters organization was negligent in checking the Hockey Canada Registry,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry

SPECIAL MEETING Special meeting of Council is scheduled for budget discussions, as it pertains to the City of Cranbrook 2015 – 2019 Five Year Financial Plan. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 14th, beginning at 4:30 pm in Council Chambers at City Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Bancks Wednesday evening. “In no way were we trying to gain an edge on anybody.” “I take full ownership for our mistake. I’m the head coach and I’ll own it. I’ve already apologized to [the players]. It wasn’t done as an act to try and gain an advantage on anybody.” Tyler Van Steinburg -- the ineligible player -- is an affiliate player of the Dynamiters. He was eligible to play when he suited up for the Nitros earlier this season as he was registered with the Kootenay Major Midget Ice out of Nelson at the time. After deciding to return to Cranbrook, Van Steinburg was released from his Hockey Canada registration card by the Midget Ice, rendering him ineligible to play or practice until he was re-registered with Hockey Canada through the Cranbrook Minor Hockey Association.

According to Iddon, Van Steinburg has been considered ineligible since Dec. 18, 2014. Regulation 26.1 of the KIJHL Constitution dictates the usage of an ineligible player will result in the team forfeiting the game regardless of the score. That rule is handed down to the KIJHL via B.C. Hockey and Hockey Canada. Van Steinburg played in the Nitros 8-1 victory Jan. 2 in Invermere, registering two assists. Prior to Jan. 2, Van Steinburg’s only other action with the Dynamiters came Dec. 16 at Creston. “If that player is on the ice, gets hurt and it’s anything more serious than what his basic medical coverage would entail, he is not covered by any supplemental insurance,” Iddon said of why ineligibility is problematic. “It’s a unique experience why this happened…Usually, [player

In Jerry [Bancks]’s defence, that player was eligible earlier in the year.” Iddon has been involved in the KIJHL long enough to have seen it all.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

Committee Opportunity Board of Variance The City of Kimberley invites applications from community members interested in becoming a member of the Board of Variance. The Board of Variance consists of three community members appointed by City Council. The Board is responsible for reviewing and making decisions on requests to vary, or relax, zoning bylaw regulations such as building size and siting requirements. Although the meeting schedule can vary, the Board typically meets for approximately one hour at 10am on the 1st Thursday of each month. Additional time commitment involves review of applications and supporting information prior to the meetings. All meetings are open to the public. Decisions made by the Board directly influence the form and character of Kimberley’s built environment. Preferred candidates will have excellent communication and critical decision making skills and be able to evaluate the impacts of variance decisions on the subject property, adjacent properties and the broader community. A demonstrated interest or experience in land use planning, urban design or building design and construction is an asset. Previous committee or board decision making experience is preferred. How to apply: Please submit an expression of interest highlighting your relevant qualifications and experience to the Manager, Planning Services at planning@kimberley.ca or to 340 Spokane Street, Kimberley, BC V1A 2E8. Deadline for submissions is 4:00pm January 19, 2015. It is anticipated that the Board member selection will be confirmed by City Council at the January 26, 2015 meeting. For more information, please contact the Manager, Planning Services at 250-427-5311 or planning@kimberley.ca

The disciplinary rule is a new regulation dictated by Hockey Canada and introduced at all levels of junior hockey this season. In previous years, the KIJHL suspended coaches to discipline the use of ineligible players, but games were not defaulted. Rules and regulations handed down by Hockey Canada govern all bodies under the Hockey Canada umbrella, including the KIJHL. The only option a league has in making alterations to rules and regulations handed down by Hockey Canada, is to make them more strict or stringent. A total of four KIJHL games have been defaulted due to player ineligibility this season. Iddon acknowledged that number is high for player-ineligibility incidents, estimating only one or two player ineligibility incidents will arise in an average season.

On Oct. 25, the Kelowna Chiefs defaulted what would have been a 5-0 victory over the Osoyoos Coyotes. Shortly after that on Nov. 7, the Nelson Leafs defaulted what would have been a 5-2 triumph over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Then on Dec. 12, the Kamloops Storm defaulted what would have been a 7-3 victory over the 100 Mile House Wranglers. All player scoring statistics from defaulted games remain intact. What was originally an 8-1 victory for the Kimberley Dynamiters over the Columbia Valley Rockies now stands as two lost points in the standings for the Nitros and the seventh win of the season for the Rockies. That shift makes life in the Eddie Mountain Division much more congested. While the Fernie

Ghostriders (28-6-1-2, 59 points) sit comfortably in first place, there is a three-team race for the coveted second spot in the division. Following the decision regarding the Dynamiters-Rockies game Friday, the Golden Rockets (19-15-0-5, 43) retain second place in the division. The Dynamiters (19-15-1-3, 42) sit in third, while the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (18-13-1-4, 41) remain one point back in fourth place. The Rockies (724-0-6, 20) remain fifth. With the KIJHL regu-

lar season quickly wearing thin, each point counts. The Rockets have 13 games remaining on their slate, while the Dynamiters have 14 games left on their schedule. With 16 games left to be played, the Thunder Cats have two games in hand on the Nitros and three in hand on the Rockets. The Dynamiters will look to put the mix up behind them this Friday, Jan. 9, when they travel to Fernie to face the Ghostriders.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone close to you will push hard to achieve what he or she wants. Others will react, and what started out as a peaceful, normal request could explode into quite a fight. Try to prevent this from happening. Moodiness seems to be everywhere. Tonight: A chat is inevitable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your imagination seems to be going haywire. A brainstorming session could help take you in a new direction. Don’t allow someone to push you away because of a seemingly unresolvable problem. Tonight: Let loved ones know how much you care. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make calls in the morning, when others appear to be more responsive. Someone’s temper might encourage you to retreat later in the day. Words spoken cannot be taken back. The less upset you create, the less you’ll have to resolve. Tonight: Remain secure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll want to focus on completing an important project. You could decide to deal with someone’s anger, or you might opt to walk away from the volatile situation. Timing will be everything. Tonight: Invite a loved one to join you for dinner at a favorite spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by everything that is going on. How you handle a volatile friend will define how you feel for the remainder of the day. Investigate options more openly with an eye to positive change. Someone might be a little too serious for your taste. Tonight: Buy a gift. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel off in the morning, but later in the day -- when the Moon enters your sign -you’ll feel like the lead player. Investigate opportunities that appeal to you. If a family member appears to be closed-off, give him or her some space. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds, and some of you

Tundra

could be easily antagonized by a child or loved one. You might need to take a walk and commit to saying nothing for now. Focus on the big picture and on the bonds that tie you together. Tonight: Let off some steam. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, rather than find yourself in the midst of a public squabble. If you can keep your eye on the big picture, you will land perfectly. Remain centered. You could feel uptight about a key issue that seems to be undermining your dealings. Tonight: Where the fun is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care about but might be irritated with. Understand what is happening; you might want to pull back rather than trigger a reaction. Emotions could run high, though you aren’t likely to show them. Tonight: Make it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with someone directly, and know that this person will be quite touched by your time and attention. Make a point of

connecting with a friend at a distance who cares a lot about you. If you feel depressed or unhappy, share your feelings. Tonight: Get ready for some TV binging. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others will demonstrate their caring, but not in the way you might expect. In fact, you could be too irritated to be gracious. Try your best to be appreciative, because you will not be able to mend a broken bridge quickly. Zero in on what you want. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll be more on edge than you realize. Part of the problem could be that you seem to be holding on to your uglier feelings more than you have in the past. As a result, you’ll be more prone to getting the flu and other such ailments. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Twelve years ago, I married my best friend, lover and the woman I believed to be my partner for life. Before we married, my wife and I were physically active: hiking, biking, skiing, rollerblading, you name it. We enjoyed movies, plays, board games and talking for hours. We also had a fantastic sex life. Seven years ago, all of that began to change. She lost interest in outdoor activities and board games. Hours of talking have been replaced with hours in front of the TV or staring into our cellphones and computers. Our sex life became nearly nonexistent. We’ve both put on a little weight, but for me, it’s 10 pounds, and for my wife, it’s 40. I still think she’s incredibly sexy and tell her so. I have maintained a regular fitness regimen and a few years ago started competing in triathlons. My wife views this as encroaching on our social life. I love my wife, but I’m no longer in love with her the way I once was. Not long ago, we had a heart-to-heart, and I said I no longer wanted to be married to her and told her why. She responded by telling me she recognized that I had been pulling away and understood why. She said she wished things could be different, but she would move forward. Since “the talk,” my wife has been extremely clingy and insecure, wanting to know my whereabouts and activities at all times. Where I suffered sexual frustration in silence for years, my wife is now quite vocal about having her sexual needs met. Annie, I can’t manufacture feelings for her, sexual or otherwise, and I am still leaning toward the exit. I feel staying is dishonest, but leaving means I’m not giving our relationship a chance. What do I do? -- Crossroads in California Dear Crossroads: Your wife doesn’t want you to leave. That is why she is clingy, insecure and demanding more sex. In the past seven years, you have gradually become disillusioned with your married life, but you only told your wife about it recently. You haven’t given her the time to work on it. Instead of looking for a justification to leave, please get into counseling with your wife. See whether you can find the “best friend” and “partner for life” you married. It’s not too late. Dear Annie: I am a 67-year-old widow. My husband died six years ago. We enjoyed a good sex life, and I miss it very much. I would like to relieve myself (masturbation), but I don’t know how the Catholic Church feels about it, and I don’t want to ask my priest. Is it a mortal or venial sin? Or are they more lenient these days? Can you please, please help me? -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia, masturbation is still a mortal sin. However, there are “conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen or even extenuate moral culpability,” making it a venial sin. We know the Church’s position matters to you, but our position is that masturbation is a perfectly reasonable alternative for someone who is widowed. Please consider talking to your priest about this. He has undoubtedly heard it before. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “California Patient,” who complained about the long waits at the doctor’s office. I would suggest “California” talk directly with the physician regarding the long wait times. When I experienced this same problem with my kids’ pediatrician, I discovered the doctor was not aware of the problem. It was his staff that scheduled the appointments too close together. The pediatrician thanked me for letting him know, and the wait times decreased substantially after that. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
