City plans to pay half of MBSS crosswalk signs ARNE PETRYSHEN

The City of Cranbrook is pursuing a cost-sharing agreement with School District 5 on crossing signs for the Mount Baker crosswalk on 14th Avenue.

The signs will be high intensity, illuminated school zone signs that will cost an estimated $5,400. That means if the cost is shared 50/50 as planned the city would end up paying $2,700.

At Monday’s meeting, Coun. Tom Shypitka said he thought it was a good idea.

“For a 50/50 cost share of $2,700, we’re

covering our butts pretty good and I think it’s something we should go ahead with,” Shypitka said. Council did approve the recommendation.

At the January 19 council meeting the school district had sent a request for a crosswalk similar to the one on Victoria Avenue and 4th Street North to be installed at the location.

CAO Staudt noted city staff advised against that original crosswalk proposal because of cost and other concerns, such as traffic backup.

“So that’s part of what we’re doing, to reach out and find those people to get them a little more connected to their community, give them something fun to do and somebody to do it with…”

While Better at Home does have provincial funding support, the social connections aspect of their program wouldn’t be able to happen without funding support from the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation.

“Because we have such a broad area, we tend to receive a lot of great applications from all sorts of different organizations. It really helps us keep an eye on what’s happening in the community as well.”

Riley Wilcox The CDCF is a locally-run public foundations that builds and manages endowment funds to support charitable activities in the area.

As of now, the organization is open to receive applications for grant funding until the deadline of March. 2, 2015, with the successful grants being handed out in April or May. Riley Wilcox, the executive director with the CDCF, said there are six specific fields with a broad range for granting

Those fields include arts, culture and heritage, education, physical activity and sport, social and health services, environment and programs for seniors.

“The nature of what gets granted out every year really relies on what comes our way for applications,” said Wilcox.

As examples in the past, funding has gone out towards the Trans-Canada Trail Society, which is building a trail to connect Cranbrook and Wardner, while other grants have gone towards the Friends of Fort Steele Society and the BCSPCA East Kootenay branch. In total, 16 causes were funded last year from CDCF grants.

“Because we have such a broad area, we tend to receive a lot of great applications from all sorts of different organizations,” added Wilcox. “It really helps us keep an eye on what’s happening in the community as well.”

our high school students took over the kitchen at the Community Connections Society of Southeast B.C. on Wednesday to prepare and serve lunch to local senior citizens.

Under parental supervision, the Kootenay Christian Academy students prepared their meal, which featured colourful fruit kebabs, and also organized some games for postlunch entertainment on Wednesday afternoon.

They were there as part of Better at Home, which is just one of a myriad of programs available through the Community Connections Society.

Better at Home, administered by Laurie Harris, is a program designed to help provide some of the more mundane, but important services, for senior citizens who are still living at home.

Services typically include things like lawn-mowing, snow-shovelling and house-keeping.

However, a new aspect of the program is starting to have a big impact.

Last year, Better at Home organized a social connections service, where a group of visually impaired people met once a month to hear guest speakers and talk share tips and advice of day-to-day living with visual impairment.

That social connections service has branched into further opportunities to formulate connections with Better at Home clients with the Cranbrook community.

“A lot of our clients are home, alone, their spouses passed on, so they are alone,” said Harris. “Some are in

tiatives and Affected Areas Program grant application selection process.

The program provides funding support for projects which have been identified as priorities within individual communities, and is open to all Basin residents and organizations.

At the Monday meeting, council also agreed to look at the process itself after this year’s selection is complete — April 1, 2015 is the review and April 27 it the date council will consider the committee’s recommendations.

Coun. Danielle Cardozo had concerns with the process.

“I’m having a really hard time supporting this recommendation, not because I’m opposed to three individuals choosing, but I’m opposed to the process that’s used to determine where these funds go,” Cardozo said.

She said that while there is a community involvement meeting, there isn’t much community consultation.

“So we’re giving three individuals the right to determine, based on one meeting, and these reports, what the community needs to

use this $262,000 for,” she said. “I would prefer to see a process looked at that’s an alternative to this one.”

Cardozo noted she’d spoken with representatives from the CBT who told her they would be happy to present alternative processes.

“I think the communities of Fernie and Salmo have great processes that really involves community members that really allows communities to give more input than just that one short meeting as to how these funds should be spent,” she said.

CAO Wayne Staudt said the process is the one the city worked on with the Regional District of East Kootenay on.

“Whether or not a community like Cranbrook wants to follow whatever process, I guess we’d have to involve the regional district somehow, because they’re the ones that really run this process,” Staudt said.

He explained that councils in the past have always appointed three councillors to sit and listen to all the applications made.

Once the three councillors have heard all the

Kitchen fire quickly put out Continued from page 1 Upon arrival, crews found signs of smoke and entered the building. All affected residents were accounted for and were found congregated at the front of the building. There were no injuries.

“This is a perfect example of how having proper fire detection equipment and a solid fire safety plan can ensure the safety of residents not just in an apartment fire, but single family homes and businesses,” says Scott Driver, Deputy Director of Fire and Emergency Services. “This is exactly how the process is supposed to work and highlights why having a working alarm system and safety plan is so important. It works.”

Crews discovered the fire isolated to a single suite and the fire was quickly extinguished. Once the building was cleared of smoke, the building was deemed safe and all residents were allowed to return home.

applications and come to decision, that recommendation comes back to council for endorsement.

Acting mayor Wesly Graham asked whether council favoured having CBT representatives come in and talk about alternative process possibilities.

Coun. Norma Blissett suggested staying with the process for this year and then if council decides it wants to review it after that then put it in the works.

“So that in the following year we can adopt that if it is necessary,” Blissett said.

Coun. Ron Popoff agreed with having discussions on future ways of moving forward, but said it may not be the right time as there are deadlines coming up.

“Let’s give this a whole year to rethink this and maybe we’ll come forward with some better proposals for next year,” Popoff said.

Council will discuss alternate processes later in the year.

crosswalk signs Continued from page 1

“What we said we would do is get ahead with the school district and work with their staff,” Staudt said. “This is the recommendation coming out of a joint meeting between their staff and our staff.”

Also included in the staff report was ICBC crash data from 2006 and 2013. The data showed two collisions at the location — both traffic incidents involved the first vehicle stopping for pedestrians and being rear-ended by the following vehicle that failed to stop.

Coun. Ron Popoff asked whether that was taken into in the recommendation.

“How relevant is that data?” Popoff asked.

Eric Sharpe, Director of Engineering, said it is not that relevant to the recommendation, and was included more for reference data.

“It is by no means what would be considered a high-collision area,” Sharpe said.

The discussions with the school district staff identified vehicle speed in the school zone as one problem at the location.

Engineering Services and the school district agreed that the solar powered, high intensity, flashing LED lit school zone signs on 14th Avenue would greatly enhance driver awareness of the school zone. The illuminated signs would have controllers that allow for the programming of the signs to flash on the corresponding days and times when the school zone is in effect.

The approved recommendation was for council to direct city administration to pursue a cost starting agreement with SD5. The cost would still need to be added to the 2015 budget.

Three injured in avalanche near Kicking Horse Resort Skiers were out of bounds at time Golden Star

An avalanche struck outside Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s boundaries Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 3, and left three individuals with non life-threatening injuries.

At 3 p.m., Kicking Horse Mountain Safety Dispatch received a call for an avalanche and potential missing persons outside the ski area boundary, located south of the resort. The resort’s Mountain Safety personnel immediately started an investigation and activated their avalanche rescue plan.

After confirming avalanche debris outside of the ski area boundary, RCMP and other outside agencies were activated.

By 3:26 p.m., all three missing persons were accounted for and airlifted offsite for minor injuries, completing the rescue operation. None of them were even partially buried by the slide.

“The Kicking Horse Mountain Safety Team, Golden and District Search and Rescue (GADSAR) and all personnel involved did an outstanding job today, with minimal effect to normal operation,” said Mike Ruben-

stein, Director of Mountain Operations.

Kyle Hale lead GADSAR’s team.

“When we arrived it was just a small avalanche but it was through some high consequence terrain. It was very steep with lots of hazards such as trees and cliffs,” he said.

Hale said there was concern that rescuers could trigger additional avalanches, so his team was delayed in getting to the injured parties while they ensured that their presence wouldn’t cause an additional slide.

All three men are in their early 20s, all from Saskatchewan. They were skiing out-of-bounds near Terminator 2 when they allegedly caused and were subsequently caught in the avalanche.

One of the men was able to call 911 and the Safety Team from Kicking Horse Mountain Resort was able to quickly locate them.

None of the men had proper avalanche gear with them at the time, something that Hale sees far too frequently despite increased awareness.

“It’s a lot less than in the past but it’s still out there. People still recreate in the mountains without the appropriate equipment or training.”

supervisory skills while over-seeing this bridge project. Congratulations to all of the finalists for their work to further boost B.C.’s thriving transportation networks,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone.

The Glacier Technical Services team was proactive in finding onsite efficiencies which ensured the project was completed on time and on budget despite necessary site modifications during construction. As well, the team maintained two-lane traffic on Highway 3 through the site and a local intersection during the busy summer months without incident or delay.

“I am pleased to add my congratulations to Glacier Technical Services for quickly adapting site modifications and efficiently managing construction of this new bridge,” said Bill

Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, Minister Responsible for Core Review and MLA for Kootenay East. “As well, their dedication to ensuring traffic flow during the busy season in the community of Jaffray was very appreciated and this award is well-deserved.”

EYE ON YOUR CITY A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Industry Attraction - An important part of the City’s economic development strategy is to engage 6 - 8 business people from the community that have the knowledge and experience needed to help develop an industry attraction plan. This is a creative committee, not a bureaucratic committee. The function of this group is that of a “think tank” – and the goal is to generate ideas for industrial development, the best of which will be passed to the City’s Economic Development Officer for detailed diligence and action. Please express your interest in participating in this volunteer opportunity by sending a short summary of experience before February 27th to: kwilson@kimberley.ca New No-Parking Zone – Please observe the new no-parking regulations and signage on the 100-block of Wallinger Avenue (in front of the recentlycleared Bavarian Esso lot). The purpose of this no-parking zone is to allow large trucks delivering to Platzl businesses ample room to turn into the laneway. Two parking stalls nearest Spokane Street will remain. There is plenty of parking at the lot across Wallinger and at the parking lot next to Centre 64.

Garbage Reminder – Garbage pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and garbage must not be set out before 5:00 a.m., as unattended garbage attracts bears and other wildlife. If you choose to put out your garbage later than 7:30 a.m. and the garbage truck passes earlier than usual, you run the risk of not having your garbage collected that day. Each household may put out up to two cans or four bags of garbage per week. Garbage cans should be a maximum of 77 litres (20.3 gallons) similar to the Rubbermaid “Roughneck” garbage cans. The maximum weight allowed is 13 kilograms per bag (28.6 lbs). If you use a garbage can, please be advised that all garbage must be in a large plastic garbage bag which is tied closed. Loose garbage will not be collected. For more details on the garbage collection schedule or garbage can specifications, visit Kimberley.ca/Services/garbage-pickup-schedule or call 250-427-9660.

Brownbag Lunch with Mayor McCormick - On Wednesday, February 11th, and on the second Wednesday of each month, Mayor McCormick will be hosting a brown-bag luncheon at City Hall from noon until 1:30 pm.

Bring your own lunch and have a discussion with the Mayor.

Stat Holiday - City Hall will be closed on February 9th for the BC Family Day Holiday.

Meeting Schedule - The Regular Meeting of Council will be held on Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. A Committee of the Whole Meeting to discuss grants to organizations will be held on Thursday, February 12th at 7:00 p.m.

UV Wastewater Treatment – The City is no longer using Chlorine Gas and Sulphur Dioxide to treat sewage. The wastewater is now being treated with UV rather than chemicals before it is released into the St. Mary River.

Breaking down the unbelievable

I

can’t help but feel like the Seattle Seahawks snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes, they were trailing 28-24 to the New England Patriots at the end of the game, but with four downs and a yard to go, it seemed like a sure thing to complete a lategame upset for a championship repeat in the dying seconds.

Then, the most mystifying play unfolded.

Instead of handing the ball to, you know, one of the best running backs in the game, Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, acting on orders from head coach Pete Carroll, threw the ball.

It was a history-making play for all the wrong reasons, as Pats cornerback Malcolm Butler got inside his man and intercepted the pass, which all but ended the game.

A camera was trained on Richard “I’m the best corner in the game” Sherman during the play and if you look hard enough, you can see the exact moment where his heart breaks.

After the game, Carroll tried to defend the play, saying he was too focused on trying to confuse the Pats defence.

I’m still wondering if someone handed Wilson a deflated football.

However, it was still an entertaining game right down to the last second. That Jermaine Kearse catch will go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history.

I had flashbacks of David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII in 2008, and laughed because the New York Giants

went on to upset the Patriots, who had gone undefeated all season.

But thanks to Butler’s interception, the Pats captured their fourth NFL title in 14 years, with New England QB Tom Brady earning his third MVP honours, which puts him in the conversation as one of the greatest of all time.

However, more than just a football game, the Super Bowl is a spectacle, and the half-time show with headliner Katy Perry certainly delivered. I haven’t figured out what surTrevor prised me more: the dancing Crawley “Left Shark” that is now viral on the Internet, or the sudden reappearance of Missy Elliott in the middle of the show.

Speaking of spectacles, on Monday, the Los Angeles Kings headed to the White House to be feted by American President Barack Obama for their second NHL championship in three years.

Obama greeted the Kings in the East Room of the White House and hailed their ability to win championships as a traditional winter sport in a decidedly un-wintery climate.

Sutter presented Obama with an engraved silver hockey stick, which, I’m told, should help him stickhandle through a Republican-held Congress.

While the Kings were showing off their championship ring at the White House, a young Texas boy was suspended for bringing the “One Ring” to school.

Yep, inspired by the object of J.R.R. Tolkien’s creation in Lord of the Rings, a nine-year-old boy recently earned his sus-

pension after telling his friend that he could make him vanish with Lord Sauron’s jewelry.

Of course, the school declined to respond for comment to media requests and hid behind the excuse of confidentiality.

Perhaps they were bullied into silence by the Nazgul.

Simply disappearing from school is frowned upon these days. If the kid really wanted his friend to disappear, he’d need a note from his parents, or at least, permission from Gandalf or Aragorn.

While parents and school officials fight about the purported claim of a magical ring, a potential American presidential candidate made a pretty interesting claim by linking vaccination with mental disorders.

Rand Paul — a ophthalmologist — put his foot in his mouth during an interview on NBC, saying he heard of cases where children ended up with profound mental disorders after getting vaccinated.

He went on to explain that vaccines are a good thing, so try figure out the double-speak there.

That’s not to say that there hasn’t ever been an adverse reaction to a vaccine, but there are studies upon studies upon studies by medical professionals that demonstrate the preventative benefits of vaccination.

I mean, it’s the 21st century and we’re still debating this.

However, now that we’re on the topic of debates, what can’t be argued is the silliness of Carroll’s final play-call this past weekend.

That was just plain unfortunate.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

4-H projects weigh-in

The Cranbrook & District 4-H swine and sheep weigh-in was held January 31 at the Grasmere Hall. It was an exciting day as 4-H members from the Cranbrook, Wasa and South Country clubs chose and purchased their market pigs and lambs.

To get ready for this day sheep and swine members learned about desirable traits that they would be looking for in their project animal. Good conformation is one thing to look for — some members were swayed by cuteness.

We would like to give a special thank you to Community Futures for their generous support of project animals through their 4-H Youth Loan program.

Having a 4-H project means that members will feed and care for their animal, learn showmanship, grooming and judging to exhibit their animal at the Cranbrook & District 4-H Show and Sale to be held on June 7 this year at the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds.

Record keeping is also an important part of 4-H and our moto is ‘Learn to Do

by Doing’. Detailed records must be kept on feed, equipment, animal health and any other things related to the project animals.

Project animals will be cared for by each member through daily chores. This means that each member is responsible to get up early and feed before school — even when it is -20 degrees — to be sure their animal has fresh food and water to start the day. Later each day, chores need to be done again, including halter training for sheep, and making sure their animal gets adequate exercise.

Our next Cranbrook 4-H Multi club event will be 4-H Public Speaking Sunday, February 15, 1 pm at the College of the Rockies. Public is welcome.

If you would like more information on 4-H or on our upcoming club activities please contact Tracy Adams at 250-4262801 or email mikeandtracy3@shaw.ca Elijah Siewert Cranbrook 4-H Multi Club

Monsters of ISIS

Jim Campbell, in his recent letter to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, stated that the situation with ISIS is not our problem.

In other words, he has no problem with the brutal torturing and killing of innocent citizens and their children, beheading foreign journalists and most recently, the burning of a downed airplane pilot alive while he was locked in a cage.

I am grateful that we have a Prime Minister in Ottawa who, along with the coalition members, has taken a stand to stop these monsters.

It is also gratifying to see that a recent poll showed that over 80 per cent of Canadians agree with the government’s position and that the leaders of the opposition parties are also now showing support.

Wolf Slaughter

The slaughter ofwolves that is currently happening in British Columbia is supported by many organizations — including Wildsight. This slaughter of wolves will accomplish only one thing — the slaughter of wolves.

Wildsight is proof of a living contradiction by supporting this slaughter. Recently, John Bergenske of Wildsight even pre-

dicted the eventual failure of this experiment when he said: “It is unfortunate and sad to be targeting wolves when we know it isn’t wolves that have created this situation. Wolves are far too often scapegoated for human caused problems.”

That same conclusion can be found right next door in Alberta. Biologist Dave Hervieux recently reported in the Canadian Journal of Zoology (vol 92 issue 12) that after nearly a decade and a half of slaughtering wolves (980 wolves shot and/or poisoned) to try and “save” the little smokey caribou herd (100 animals) very little progress had been made in terms of increasing the caribou herd; “Although the wolf population reduction program appeared to stabilize the little smoky population (of caribou) it did not lead to a population increase.”

Conservationists in Alberta who originally supported the little smoky wolf slaughter (Alberta Wilderness Association) eventually stopped their support when it became readily apparent that human impact on ecosystems are imminent and unavoidable. They concluded with the following: “It is a completely unethical approach to just declare a war on wolves when they are a symptom and not a root cause.”

University of Montana biologist Mark Hebblewhite hit the nail on the head when he lamented the culture of development that humans engage in, and suggested a radically different approach to helping caribou: “Pick two herds. Fence them. Remove predators non-lethally and just farm caribou.” He added, “That’s how bad it is!”

And so,when the human condition has an impact on the natural world — a web of infinite complexity” — what is the result? We point fingers, of course — and wolves die — and caribou stare into oblivion,and say their goodbyes too.

Egregious Driving

I am writing to say thank-you to all the people who actually stop at stop signs. I also thoroughly thank those who stop three feet from my back bumper instead of three inches.

However, I don’t thank the person who blew through the four-way stop on 6th Street North and Kootenay Street without slowing down, when there were five people waiting their turn to go through the intersection. That kind of thoughtless non-caring causes people pain and injury.

Stop means stop!

Voluntary National Household Survey

Dear Mr. Harper, Re: The Voluntary National Household Survey (V-NHA).

The Board of Education, School District 5 (SD5), Southeast Kootenay, British Columbia, writes to you today out of concern for the lack of useful statistical data that is currently available to Canadians due to 2010 changes to the National Household Survey (NHS) –also known as the census — from mandatory to voluntary completion.

Recently our Board inquired into the formula factors used for provincial funding for an important BC school district

program, CommunityLINK. This program supports vulnerable students in communities across the province of BC and is based on a set of Vulnerable Student Supplement (VSS) formula factors that measure vulnerability based on economic conditions, social conditions and educational attainment. Much of the data used to measure these VSS formula factors relies on Statistics Canada census data.

Last year the BC Ministry of Education contacted BC Stats to inquire about 2011 census data and was informed that there are some concerns with the 2011 NHS data.

In her October, 2014 correspondence to our District Principal of Student Services, Ministry policy analyst Nancy Needham states, “Stats Can has urged caution when using the data, particularly for longitudinal analysis, which has added new complexities to updating the VSS formula”.

Obviously, as the NHS is now a voluntary survey there is no way of knowing where a count was complete and where it was not. This makes the possibility of receiving accurate longitudinal analysis almost impossible, especially in communities like those in our District whose populations are less than 25,000.

Without current, accurate data our provincial government can only guess where the vulnerable students in small BC communities reside meaning that many Districts may receive too little — or too much — CommunityLINK subsidy funding even though it is based on the VSS. Given that the Federal Government has the means to ensure accurate data collection as evidenced by years of usable data provided by the previously mandatory NHS results, it is simply unacceptable that our provincial government is put in the position of having to “guess” how to spend tax dollars responsibly, especially given this time of fiscal restraint and accountability.

It is for these reasons that, at the November 12th Public Board meeting the Board carried the following motion: M/S that the Board write a joint letter with stakeholders to Prime Minister Harper urging his government to reconsider the changes of the National Household Survey from voluntary back to mandatory and that this letter be copied to Head of Statistics Canada, opposition party leaders, our local MP, the Premier and education ministers of BC and their opposition, our local MLA, presidents of the Canadian School Boards’ Association (CSBA), the BC School Trustees’ Association (BCSTA), Canadian School Boards’ Association (CFF), BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), National and BC Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC)(for distribution to their members), local association chairs/presidents and to media.

We sincerely hope your government will reconsider replacing the V-NHS with the original mandatory census in order to ensure that all tax dollars are being allocated in a fiscally responsible manner. We cannot imagine that BC CommunityLINK funding is the only casualty of “best guess” economics due to the unreliability of the V-NHS.

Former Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski is Broadway-bound after being recalled by the NHL’s New York Rangers Wednesday afternoon.

He served as the back up to goaltender Cam Talbot in the Rangers meeting with the Boston Bruins on Wednesday.

Skapski, a native of Abbotsford, was called up by the Rangers after starting goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was struck in the throat by a puck Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Swedish star finished Saturday’s game before suiting up again Monday against the Florida Panthers.

Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said Lundqvist’s absence was a direct result of being struck in the throat over the weekend.

After being drafted in third round (57th overall) of the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft, Skapski spent three full seasons in Cranbrook with the Kootenay Ice, suiting up in 141 games and registering a record of 74-523-4 with eight shutouts, a career GAA of 2.81 and career SP of 0.909.

The Rangers selected Skapski with a sixthround pick (170th overall) in the 2013 NHL

Universiade connections Six with ties to Cranbrook represent Canada at 2015 Winter Universiade in Spain Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Cranbrook is being well represented at the 2015 Winter Universiade in Granada, Spain.

A total of six individuals with connections to Cranbrook have headed for Spain as members of the Canadian men’s and women’s hockey teams.

Forwards Kevin King and Elgin Pearce, goaltender Kris Lazaruk (University of Calgary) and defenceman Luke Paulsen (University of Manitoba) are all Kootenay Ice alumni representing Canada in Spain.

King (2006-07 to 2010-11), Pearce (200910 to 2012-13), Lazaruk (2006-07 to 2007-08) and Paulsen (2009-10 to 2011-12) all spent time with the Ice in the past decade.

“At the beginning of the season I had no intentions of being on this team, I did not think I was on the radar,” Lazaruk told Lance

Doucet, sports information assistant at the University of Calgary. “It feels like icing on the cake for my final season.

It is going to be a special couple of weeks.”

Additionally, Todd Johnson (University of Regina) is team leader for the Canadian men.

He spent the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons with the Kootenay Ice as an assistant coach.

The Canadian men opened preliminary action Feb. 3 with a resounding 11-1 victory over the Republic of Korea at Granada Sport Palace.

King registered a hat trick for the Canadians, while Pearce chipped in with a goal. Paulsen added an assist and Lazaruk turned aside all eight shots he faced in 29:14 of crease time, splitting duties with Ryan Holdfeld (University of Saskatchewan).

The Canadians face Sweden Feb. 5 before

wrapping up preliminary action Feb. 7 against the Russian Federation.

On the women’s side of the equation, Daley Oddy is suiting up for Canada after posting 11 goals and 23 points with the St. Francis Xavier University X-Women of the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference within Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS).

“I am very excited to start playing with the team. From our first practice, it is easy to tell that we have a very skilled and fast team,” Oddy told St.FX Athletics and Recreation Tuesday.

“I know that I am very lucky to have an opportunity to play for Canada in Spain, and I expect to make lots of memories with all the new people I have met.”

The Canadian women opened preliminary action Wednesday, defeating Kazakhstan 7-1 at Mulhacen Pavilion.

Cranbrook Bugle Band: 2015 has begun and Miss Pat’s back!

Submit ted

Just to give you a little background on our band in case you are not familiar with the Cranbrook Bugle Band.

The Band was formed in 1941 so is 74 years old this year. It’s the oldest youth group that in Cranbrook that carries the city name, which means the Cranbrook name is out there wherever we go.

The band has travelled as far east as Montreal, north to Whitehorse, west to Victoria and Seattle and south to Salt Lake City. We have won awards throughout the years with the oldest trophy being from 1952.

As an example of having the Cranbrook Bugle Band out there, a gentleman that passed away in Calgary in 2014 willed his bugle and drumsticks to the Cranbrook Bugle Band, as he always enjoyed watching us and would travel to see us.

The Cranbrook Bugle Band had a great 2014.

They represented Cranbrook at several parades

Members of the Cranbrook Bugle Band rehearsing at Steeples Elementary School in Cranbrook. and shows throughout the Kootenays and Alberta, winning different awards such as Best Marching Unit, Best Musical Group as well as 2nd in Junior Bands at the Calgary Stampede in 2014. The band that won 1st was the Roundup band from Calgary, a 100 member unit.

The band’s performance season began with Band Camp in April, and ended with the very wet Santa Claus parade here in

Cranbrook. Miss Pat was acting Director throughout the summer, returning as full Director in the fall.

With a new year starting we are now accepting new members and since the is co-ed member ship is open to all youths from the ages of 11 – 18. You do not need to be a resident of Cranbrook, only be able to attend the practices on Wednesday evenings (6:30 – 8 pm) and Saturday mornings

(10 am – 1 pm). The band practices at Steeples Elementary School.

When the current members were asked about their time in Bugle Band, there was lots of different responses, like “it is fun”, “we have lots of adventures such as going zip lining, holding owls, going to the zoo, through corn mazes, even a reptile museum.”

“It is like having an-

other family and we have so much fun on our trips, I’m really going to miss it when I graduate,” said Jessika Hartman who is going into her 7th year. Some of the members stated that playing the bugle was easier then some instruments as we play by ear (no sheet music to learn) and teach each other.

Calgary is a favorite trip of lots of the band members as we always go to the Stampede

Submitted

grounds in the evening and you get to meet and mingle with other bands from all over the world as well as go shopping.

One of the newest members tells us she joined bugle band as she loves to play instruments, but she is finding it lots of fun and is looking forward to band camp and all of the trips planned for this year. Another new member is following in the footsteps of her

great-grandmother, her mom and other family members. She loves Bugle Band, making new friends, learning new dances and is also looking forward to the upcoming trips which includes a six-day trip.

Another senior member, Lydia is “looking forward to another great year”.

Projected performances/trips for 2015 include shows throughout the Kootenays, Spokane, Coleman, Calgary, Quesnel, Penticton and more.

Unfortunately, we have to decline may invitations as they overlap with other dates.

Come and join us for a great opportunity to represent Cranbrook, make new friends, travel and have lots of fun. At $15 a month Bugle Band is affordable to most people.

For more information, please contact Miss Pat at 250-4890086 in the evening or by emailing cbkbugleband@shaw.ca

arts/entertainment Symphony concert features the great John Williams Barry Coulter

The Symphony of the Kootenays third concert of the 2014/15 season and the first of the new year bodes to warm up your mid-winter blues with a trip to Hollywood.

“A Night At The Movies” will bring some of Hollywood’s greatest

hits to Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 7.

When one speaks of some of Hollywood’s greatest hits, one invariably thinks of John Williams, an American composer and pianist, generally considered one of the greatest film

composers of all time.

Jeff Faragher, Music and Artistic Director for the Symphony of the Kootenays, told the Townsman that originally the Symphony was looking at featuring lots of composers for this concert. “But as I researched it more and

the RDEK is on the hunt for the 2015 Electoral Area Volunteers of the Year

more I thought it better to stick with just one, and who better than John Williams. We’re going to featuring a lot of his film score music and it should be a lot of fun.”

On the program for Saturday are some of the most well-known film compositions of all time — a John Williams revue. The themes from “Jaws,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and “Superman,” as

well as pieces like “That’s Entertainment” and “The Cowboys Overture,” will be familiar and pleasing to audiences.

And the Symphony will be including a couple of prominent classical pieces, by Mozart and Samuel Barber, which have been used in film a lot, and illustrates the importance of classical music in popular culture and how the classical composers have in-

fluenced the movie composers.

As usual, the Symphony will be holding an open rehearsal in advance of the concert, Saturday, Feb. 7, from

noon to 1:30 p.m., to which the public is invited.

Tickets for “A Night At The Movies” are available at the Key City Theatre box office.

Deadline is Friday, February 6th!

Nomination forms are now available at our Cranbrook & Columbia Valley RDEK offices and on our website at www.rdek.bc.ca.

arts/entertainment More than 50 years later, a sequel to ‘Mockingbird’ Hillel Italie Associated Press

NEW YORK — “To Kill a Mockingbird” will not be Harper Lee’s only published book after all.

Publisher Harper announced Tuesday that “Go Set a Watchman,” a novel the Pulitzer Prize-winning author completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14. Rediscovered last fall, “Go Set a Watchman” is essentially a sequel to “To Kill a Mockingbird,” although it was finished earlier. The 304-page book will be Lee’s second, and the first new work in more than 50 years.

The publisher plans a first printing of 2 million copies.

“In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called ‘Go Set a Watchman,”’ the 88-year-old Lee said in a statement issued by Harper. “It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’) from the point of view of the young Scout.

“I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I hadn’t realized it (the original book) had survived, so was surprised and delighted when my dear friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it. After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years.”

According to publisher Harper, Carter came upon the manuscript at a “secure location where it had been affixed to an original typescript of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.”’ The new book is set in Lee’s famed Maycomb, Alabama, during the mid1950s, 20 years after “To Kill a Mockingbird” and roughly contemporaneous with the time that Lee was writing the story. The civil rights movement was taking hold by the time she was working on “Watchman.” The Supreme Court had ruled unanimously in 1953 that seg-

At right: Harper Lee in the 1950s regated schools were unconstitutional, and the arrest of Rosa Parks in 1955 led to the yearlong Montgomery bus boycott.

“Scout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father,

Atticus,” the publisher’s announcement reads.

“She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place

where she was born and spent her childhood.”

Lee herself is a Monroeville, Alabama native who lived in New York in the 1950s. She now lives in her hometown. According to the publisher, the book will be released as she first wrote it, with no revisions.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is among the most beloved novels in history, with worldwide sales topping 40 million copies. It was released on July 11, 1960, won the

or

Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into a 1962 movie of the same name, starring Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance as the courageous attorney Atticus Finch. Although occasionally banned over the years because of its language and racial themes, the novel has become a standard for reading clubs and

is an extraordinary gift to the many readers and fans of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ Reading in many ways like a sequel to Harper Lee’s classic novel, it is a compelling and ultimately moving narrative about a father and a daughter’s relationship, and the life of a small Alabama town living through the racial tensions of the 1950s.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel out of whack because of recent pressure. You also might suspect that you are too much of a misunderstood dreamer. You often feel challenged to translate these ideas into a form in which others can understand them. Tonight: Keep your plans hush-hush.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might suspect that a partner is raining on your parade.

You might wonder what would be best to do when dealing with a domestic matter and the issue that provoked it. You will have to decide whether you want to reveal all the details. Tonight: Fun and friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

An associate’s mood could make interacting difficult. This person seems to be in an emotional state, while you are off daydreaming about what could be. You’ll need to take off your rose-colored glasses, because you need to know what you are dealing with. Tonight: Order in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be past the point of being able to look at a situation without bias. By asking questions and getting feedback from others, you will see where you stand. You could be a lot more in tune with someone’s desires than you realize. Tonight: Start planning the weekend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen carefully to a loved one.

This person might be upset, and if you can get him or her to speak about the issue, you’ll want to stay tuned in. You could be concerned about a financial matter. Be sure that you’re being realistic. Tonight: Ever playful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be in your element as a partner or loved one goes out of his or her way to let you know how much he or she cares.

Someone else could be in a bad mood and seem closed down in any conversation you try to start.

Let it go. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand more of what is going on with

Tundra

a child or loved one. Know that this person could cop an attitude if you ask too many questions.

Be realistic about your health.

Schedule a much-needed doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want. You might have a difficult time making your point with a friend or in a meeting. It might have very little to do with your style of communication, but instead with the other party’s drifting mind; he or she tends to daydream a lot. Tonight: Where the gang is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to try a different approach when dealing with someone in charge. You have been very concise and straightforward in the past, and it could give others the impression that you will be less flexible than they’d like. Tonight: At a spontaneous get-together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overtired and find others to be confusing. Touch base with a key person. You might think you know what is

going on, but it’s possible that you’re wearing rose-colored glasses. Confirm your impression. Tonight: Respond to a friend’s caring gesture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow a partner to take the lead and do more of what he or she wants. Use caution with your funds. You might want to make a long-awaited purchase that you’ve been dreaming of. No one is stopping you, but it would be wise not to overspend. Tonight: Express your caring.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Though someone could be challenging and difficult at times, you still will want to let him or her know how much you care.

You also might want to make sure you are realistic in your perceptions about this person.

Tonight: Buy a special item you have been wanting.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My twin sister and I are 57.

Every time she visits me, she takes things.

Often, I don’t realize the things are missing until I need to use them, or when I want to wrap them as gifts, which is what happened last Christmas.

When this has happened in the past, I’ve confronted my sister, but she denies taking anything. However, during my last visit to her new home, I caught her. I was hanging up my clothes in the closet, and to my shock, the top shelf had several of my missing things. I called my sister in to explain, and of course, she couldn’t lie about not stealing the items I could plainly see.

I’m financially better off than my twin, but she does quite well, too. I have always been there for her when she needed anything. She lived with me for several years when she had nowhere else to go, and I helped her get out of debt.

My brother also steals from me when he stays here. And when my sister came last week, after she gave me her word that she could be trusted, I discovered several items missing. Is there a reason people do this? -Kansas Twin Dear Twin: Your twin (and your brother) may suffer from kleptomania, an impulse control disorder that makes it difficult to resist urges to steal items that, for the most part, you don’t need and won’t use. Your risk of developing this mental health disorder is increased if you have a parent or sibling with kleptomania, obsessive-compulsive disorder or a substance abuse problem. Your siblings seem to qualify. You can talk to your sister, saying that you are worried about her, and suggest she ask her doctor for a referral to a mental health professional. We hope she gets help before she steals from someone who will have her arrested.

Dear Annie: I hope my question is not too far out of line. I have noticed many people are not able to talk without using their hands. And they can’t seem to keep their hand movements to a reasonable limit. I recently stopped watching one of my favorite TV shows because the constant hand waving is too distracting.

When a person I am close to gets out of control, I lower my eyes and do not watch, but I find the constant gesturing very annoying. Why do they do this? -- J. Dear J.: Most people use their hands when they speak, some more than others. Hand gestures can underscore what you are saying and, to some extent, can also indicate friendliness or engagement in the topic.

Keeping your hands still might be misinterpreted as indifference or boredom. But large and constant hand gestures can be distracting and annoying and tend to be more common within cultures or families.

This obviously bothers you a great deal.

If you are good friends with someone who waves his hands around excessively, you can gently point it out and ask whether he would temper the gestures a bit.

Dear Annie: I would like to thank “Powerless” for writing in with concerns about her atheist friend. I grew up atheist in a suburban school where, although I was a proselytization target, I was fortunate not to experience that kind of relentless bullying. I would like to offer a resource that might help, especially if the school district is uncooperative.

The Secular Student Alliance (www.secularstudents.org) is a group of students and families who help each other with situations like this. Please let Powerless know that she and her friend are not powerless. I hope both of them remain safe and get through this situation. -- W.

Lawyer says authorities trying to embarrass hunter accused of killing sheep in Yukon C anadian Press

KAMLOOPS, B.C. Conservation authorities are trying to discredit and embarrass his client, says a lawyer representing an alleged cross-border poacher accused of lying about where he shot a record-setting Dall sheep.

“These people have made it their life’s work to get Mr. Dougan,” Kevin Church said.

Abe Dougan was back in provincial court on Wednesday for the continuation of a trial on a dozen poaching charges stemming from a Dall sheep hunt in August 1999.

The hunting guide based in Kamloops, B.C., claims to have killed the sheep in a remote part of the province, where he was entitled to hunt, but is accused of actually killing it in the Yukon.

Dougan’s trial is being held in B.C. because that’s where he took the sheep for a compulsory inspection

after claiming he killed the animal on a mountain range in the province.

It wasn’t until 2011, after the kill earned Dougan a spot in the Big Game Records of B.C. book, that Environment Yukon received a tip from someone saying the mountain in the photo was actually in the territory.

Using three-dimensional mapping software, an investigator located a Yukon mountain with similar characteristics to one in the background of Dougan’s photo.

In the summer of 2011, investigators flew by helicopter to the site where they claim Dougan bagged the sheep 18 kilometres north of the Yukon-B.C. border.

They took a photo of the mountain range from the location where they believe Dougan’s hunting partner was standing when the trophy photo was taken, court heard.

The two pictures bear striking similarities, including a series of slides in the background and a distinct plateau on a mountain over Dougan’s left shoulder.

“They’re embarrassing him to Mr. Giles, the person that he’s working for,” Church said Wednesday of conservation authorities.

“They’re telling him, ‘This guy is a bad guy.

You shouldn’t deal with him.”

Last week, Dougan was charged with three new counts stemming from an unrelated cougar hunt near Williams Lake, B.C., more than a year ago.

Charges against him, along with Brent Giles and Ryan Hartling, include one count each of hunting wildlife within six hours of being airborne and unlawful possession of dead wildlife.

Church said the charges likely wouldn’t have been laid if not for the interest in Dougan

welcome to our new team member!

generated by the Dall sheep case, for which a trial has been ongoing sporadically for over a year.

Church said Wednesday that the Dall sheep charges are not serious enough to warrant the amount of court time they have garnered.

“You have murders, you have accessing of child pornography by people in authority,” he said.

“It’s not a sexual-assault case, it’s the har-

vest of a sheep.”

Church has asked provincial court Judge Stella Frame to toss the Dall sheep charges based on delay. She has not yet ruled on that application.

If convicted, Dougan could lose his B.C. guide licence and be banned from hunting in the province.

Last August, he was convicted in the Yukon on charges that he wasted meat from sheep, caribou and moose

killed in 2011 and hunted too soon after being airborne. In that instance, Dougan led a Wyoming man on a hunt for stone sheep.

The American hunter was fined $11,500 and

barred from hunting in the Yukon for 10 years.

Dougan was ordered to pay $15,000 in fines and banned from hunting or guiding in the Yukon for 20 years.

You Do NOT Have Too Much Stomach Acid By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

One of the most common prescriptions that we see in practice are medications designed to reduce or eliminate acid in the stomach in order to alleviate the symptoms of heartburn or gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the stomach is a naturally occurring acidic environment with specialized cells that are meant to live in these harsh conditions. The low pH in the stomach is required for the proper breakdown and absorption of foods and if this environment is altered it can lead to other issues with digestion.

Heartburn occurs when the acid in the stomach moves into the esophagus causing burning pain or discomfort.

A common misconception is that it is always excess amounts of acid which cause GERD, however it is much more common for heartburn to happen when there is a deficiency of acid in the stomach and I will explain why.

Between the esophagus and the stomach is a muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that normally prevents acid from traveling between the stomach and esophagus. This muscle will only close properly when it detects sufficient amounts of acid in the stomach. Therefore, if the acid levels are below normal the LES remains open and whatever acid is present is then able to splash up into the esophagus causing heartburn. The medications mentioned above work at reducing these symptoms because they drastically decrease the amount of stomach acid so that it is almost non-existent. This eliminates the heartburn, but severely inhibits the body’s ability to properly digest foods. If your body is not breaking down food in the early stages of the digestive process this will have a negative impact on the rest of the system and you will not be able to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.

Heartburn can be alleviated through simple dietary changes as well as by supporting digestion using herbs and supplements. The goal is to stimulate the body to produce an adequate amount of acid and other digestive enzymes in order to digest foods properly, reduce inflammation and absorb vital nutrients. Some examples of treatment options include Gentian, DGL and other slippery herbs and removal of food sensitivities. For more information on heartburn or any other digestive concerns please feel free to contact us via phone or email.

As an added incentive, the Canada West Ski Areas Association managed to get all the big ski resorts in the province to offer major lift ticket discounts on B.C. Family Day. The resorts offered 50 per cent off for the past two years, and it proved so successful that the offer is being made again this year for BC Family Day 2015 on February 9, 2014.

“B.C. ski resorts offer an outstanding variety of winter recreation experiences,” said CWSAA President and CEO David Lynn. “We are very pleased to be able to celebrate the second B.C. Family Day by providing B.C. families with the

opportunity to ski or board at a B.C. ski resort at half the regular price. We hope that British Columbians take advantage of this fun and healthy way to enjoy BC Family Day.” Participating resorts in this area include the Kimberley Alpine Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort, Panorama, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and Kicking Horse.

The promotion incudes the following guidelines: • BC residents will receive 50% off all lift tickets that are valid for use on Monday, February 10, 2014.

• This discount will be based on the regular ‘ticket window’ price in effect for the 2013-14 season, and will not be

combinable with other offers / discounts.

• Participating ski resorts may require proof of BC Residency (e.g. government-issued photo ID).

All participating ski

resorts will be required to provide the 50% lift ticket discount, but they will be free to augment this offer with their own resort-specific promotions.

Family Day: Monday, Feb. 9th open 1:00-4:00pm 520 Archibald St, Kimberley, BC • For pool schedule & info call 250-427-2983 or on the web: www.kimberley.ca

Wurzburg, Germany: home of the Aperol Sprizz Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes of a vibrant, pretty city on the banks of the River Main.

O

ne of my favourite stops along the River Main in Germany is Wurzburg. It is a small city in Franconia, a region of the state of Bavaria.

Until 1806, the Prince-Bishops ruled here and their crowning achievement was the construction of the Residenz Palace. It was painted with silver to show off their wealth.

There are more than 350 rooms in this Palace. During the mid1900s they stopped painting the exterior with silver.

In 1945, 90 per cent of Wurzburg was destroyed in the war, including most of the Palace. It was rebuilt in 1962 but only 15-20 of the rooms have been restored.

The Marienberg Fortress is built on a hill, and was the home of the Prince-Bishops from 1253-1720. They lived here instead of

the Palace for protection. The world’s largest fresco is located here. It took more than three years for the artist to complete. Today you can view the fresco, but

absolutely no photographs of any kind can be taken.

From the Fortress, the view of vineyards is extensive. Wurzburg is the home of Franconi-

an white wines, many of which are sold in squat round bottles.

The Juliusspital, an old hospital complex, offers regular wine tastings.

Wurzburg has a population of 132,000 and 57 churches. There are three universities and 29,000 students.

So it is a very nice mix of young and old, creat-

ing a vibrant, energetic atmosphere in a very pretty city on the banks of the Main.

The Stone Bridge, dating from 1500, is elegant and still func-

tional.

Many small shops and cafes are located at either end of the bridge and are popular for gathering for ‘happy hour’. One of their signature aperatifs is the bright orange coloured Aperol Sprizz, made with bitter Aperol liqueur topped with sweet sparkling white wine. Very refreshing!

Oh, another bit of knowledge I gained in Germany (because I can’t figure out the correct spelling) – ‘berg’ is mountain and ‘burg’ is castle. So you only need to look around the town to figure out if the name ends with ‘berg’ or ‘burg’. In this case, Wurzburg is famous for its Palace or castle, hence the spelling.

For more information on ‘bergs’ and ‘burgs’ in Germany, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel at 250-4894788.

We all want a solid financial rock under our feet when we retire.

The problem is… it can be hard to save for retirement, especially if you are struggling to pay a mortgage, car loan and credit card debt.

The solution? Roll it up. You may be able to roll your existing high interest debt into your mortgage. You’ll be shocked by what you can save in interest.

•

Let’s say you now have a $175,000 mortgage, a $25,000 car loan and $25,000 in credit cards. That’s a total debt load of $225,000. As long as you’ve got the equity in your home, you can roll that debt into a new $233,000 mortgage (that includes a charge to break the existing mortgage: a fee that is often well worth the savings) and you could knock about $921 OFF your total monthly debt payment. That’s huge.

Here’s where you can start building your financial rock: •

Talk to us about adding an additional $25,000 to your mortgage so you can make an RRSP contribution (assuming you have contribution room). Even with the extra amount on your mortgage, your new monthly payment is STILL $803 per month less. Better still, you’ll be eligible for a $10,000 tax refund for your contribution (assuming a 40% marginal tax bracket).

Now that you’ve got a lower monthly payment and maybe a tax refund, see if you can put some of that extra money against your mortgage principal or into an RESP or TFSA. Roll up your debt. Build your financial rock for retirement.

That’s rock and roll, baby!

Fruits and vegetables: Are you eating enough?

TARA STARK

February is Heart Month and eating a healthy diet plays an important role in preventing heart disease. If I had to recommend just one thing people could do to eat healthier it would be to eat more vegetables and fruit. Research

clearly connects vegetable and fruit consumption to health and longevity.

Most Canadians still fall short of the Canada Food Guide recommendation for adults to eat seven to ten servings a day. Here in B.C., only around 40 per cent of us

(age 12 and over) get five servings or more of vegetables and fruit a day so we clearly have some work to do.

How many servings of vegetables and fruit did you eat yesterday?

Before you count, consider how big a serving size actually is. One

serving of vegetables is half a cup chopped (fresh, frozen or canned) or one cup of raw leafy greens. One serving of fruit is half a cup chopped (fresh, frozen, or canned) or a whole medium sized fruit. A half cup of 100 per cent fruit or vegetable juice

also counts as a serving but it is better to eat whole fruits and vegetables than to drink juice because fruit juices are a concentrated source of sugar and store bought vegetable juices are usually high in salt.

Seven to ten servings of vegetables and fruit

may sound like a lot. If you are not accustomed to it, the volume can seem daunting. Many vegetables are very low in calories so you do get a lot of nutrients, fibre, and disease fighting phytochemicals in very few calories. For example, a cup of spinach has just seven calories and provides fiber as well as vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, magnesium, potassium, and iron that support good health.

With year round availability and many convenient options, it’s never been easier to eat lots of vegetables and fruit. Here are some tips to help you get seven to ten servings a day.

• Aim for half a plate of vegetables at lunch and supper.

• Buy berries when in season. Freeze for easy nutritious desserts or for adding to smoothies or home baking.

• After you shop, pre-

pack baggies of chopped vegetables to bring to work or to send to school.

• Keep frozen vegetables on hand for a quick and easy side dish.

• Buy kale or spinach in season or on sale.

Wash it, cut it and put it in the freezer to add to smoothies, soups, and sauces.

• When you make a salad, prepare enough greens and cut up vegetables to have a salad another day.

Don’t let fruits and vegetables go to waste.

Learning how to properly store fruits and vegetables can save you time and money. For information on storing vegetables and fruit check out our website www.interiorhealth.ca/ YourHealth/HealthyLiving/FoodSecurity/Documents/Store%20it.pdf Tara Stark is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Invermere revives deer cull, looks to recoup court costs DAN WALTON Columbia Valley Pioneer

After the legitimacy of a local deer cull in 2012 was unsuccessfully challenged in court, the District of Invermere is looking to recuperate some of its legal costs as another round of culling gets underway.

In May 2014, council authorized district staff to submit a deer cull permit to Service BC. The permit is to cull 30 deer per year at a capped cost of $30,000 annually. The process began last week, and has been handled by district staff.

“This (year’s cull) is much more operational — we’re hands off as far as council’s concerned,” said Invermere mayor Gerry Taft. “We set the policy and then let staff deal with it.”

In 2012, the district was forced to halt a cull because of a temporary court injunction on behalf of the Invermere Deer Protection Society (IDPS — formerly known as the Invermere Deer Protection Organization), which took the matter to the BC Supreme Court to question whether a public deer cull was lawful. The judge ultimately ruled in favour of the district, but the injunction reduced the scope of the cull and cost Invermere around $24,000, said Mr. Taft. While the district is entitled to recuperate that money, only about $13,000 was posted as security. While the IDPS still owes the remainder of the money, Mr. Taft isn’t optimist the district will ever see it.

“You would spend more money trying to collect it than what it’s worth,” he said.

The difference between what will be collected and what is owed will be listed in the district’s budget as a liability or debt, Mr. Taft said.

“After a certain number of years (that pass without collecting the money), it will be written off as a bad debt.”

During the 2012 cull, the injunction hampered the district’s timeframe to cull. Only 19 deer were killed

– far short of the target of 100.

For 2015, instead of aiming for such a large number of deer in a short period of time as done in 2012, district staff will oversee the culling of less deer over a greater timeframe.

Depending on district operations, “it could happen more randomly and (be) spread out through the entire year,” Mr. Taft said.

In abiding to regulations, trapping and culling must be done during the evening. There will be blackout dates during the spring fawning season.

“The goal is to try and target the aggressive and problem deer,” Mr. Taft said. “So instead of trying to get the largest number possible, we’re trying to get 30 over a long period of time, and try to make sure that the one’s we do get count.”

Traps are being set up mostly on private property, Mr. Taft said. Locations of the traps are at the discretion of district staff, but are situated in areas of greater concern. Those who support culling as a method of managing the urban deer population, and have deer concerns in the part of town they reside, can lodge a complaint to the district.

“Tell them that you wouldn’t be opposed to a trap on your property as a solution,” Mr. Taft said.

Meat from the deer is being processed at the local butcher shop, and will be given to the Columbia Valley Food Bank, and Mr. Taft said that other groups from Cranbrook and Kimberley are also interested in the venison meat.

One alternative to culling deer is to relocate them. But because of red tape, that practice is impractical right now, Mr. Taft said.

“If the (province) wants to study the success of deer relocation, they need to set reasonable perimeters,” he said, citing the costly requirements.

“Having to put $1,500 collars onto every deer is unreasonable.”

1905 IOOF Ball ... Key City Lodge No 42, I. O. O. F. will give their annual ball this year on Friday evening, February 24th.

The Odd Fellows’ dances have always been

among the leading functions in the social life of Cranbrook and that the one this year will be no exception to the rule is a foregone conclusion.

The committee in charge is composed of Messrs. Hickenbotham, Cathcart, F. H. McKay and Billings, and these gentlemen will leave nothing undone that

will contribute to the success of the event and the enjoyment of the guests.

It is Up to Cranbrook ... What are the people of Cranbrook doing toward looking after their general interests? Are they taking the interest in the Board of Trade that they should? Are they planning to work together for the ad-

vancement of the town?

These are important questions at this time.

The next twelve months are to be important ones in the history of Cranbrook. Progress comes to those who are progressive. The business man who sits in his office and thinks of his own personal affairs is not doing all that he should for the advancement of his own person-

The fees will be invested back into BC parks and are estimated to generate $1.3 million per year and fees at BC public campgrounds and provincial parks remain among the lowest in Canada.

If you have an event coming up in the community – make sure I know about it!

al interests. Cranbrook should be the divisional point of the new road to Spokane. Cranbrook should have connection with the new road that is to be built up the Kootenay Valley. Cranbrook should force her claims as a distributing point.

But Cranbrook cannot do these things unless the people act together.

Individual effort is weak indeed as compared with concerted action. A Board of Trade is the best medium for the accomplishment of good for any community. The time to wake up is now.

The time for action is now. The time to get together is now. And, gentlemen, what are you going to do about it?

Are you going to make your Board of Trade an organization of power and influence or are you going to permit it to drift into an excuse for a representative body? Become a member of the Board of Trade, and when you are a member become an active worker in the ranks. Don’t leave it for your neighbour.

Ready To Receive …

Mrs. S. W. Ryckman, nee Crosby, will receive on February 24th from 3 to 6 and from 8 to 10 p.m., and afterwards on the first and third Friday of each month.

Fire Brigade Dance ... On February 16th the Cranbrook fire brigade will give a dance at Wentworth hall for the purpose of raising a little more money to meet the extra expense of placing a hose and reel on Baker Hill with equipment to protect the homes in that section of town. This is a most laudable object and every person living on the Hill should purchase a ticket whether they can attend the dance or not. It is for their benefit that the fire boys are going to all of this trouble and they should show their appreciation by reciprocating in the way of buying a ticket. These tickets can be purchased at almost any of the business houses or at the Herald office. Now is the time for the people who are to receive the benefit of the Hill house to get in line and show that they will do their share.

CONTINUED from page B14 Cranbrook Climate ... One who has lived for any length of time in Cranbrook and also visited other localities in the western part of Canada, cannot but be most favorably impressed with the climate of this particular section.

While it is cold and dreary, with biting winds and unfathomable snow in many places, here at Cranbrook the weather is ideal, with just snow enough to make fine sleighing, but no cold winds, no heavy, dark, chilling days, but bright sunshine and a temperature that makes a Californian feel at home. That is why people are happy here, that is why when they return they invariably say, “Cranbrook looks good to me.” P. S. This was written before the thermometer took a drop.

MLA … Dr. King leaves next Tuesday for Victoria to attend the annual session of the provincial legislature.

The people of Cranbrook have reason to be

proud of the doctor. Not only does he stand high as a surgeon and physician, but during the last session, by his natural courtesy, his recognized ability and his energy as a member, he became one of the most popular members of the house, and, strange as it may seem, his popularity extended to both sides. In Dr. King the Cranbrook district has a representative who is a credit to the whole district.

1906 Splendid Suggestion ... Hold an agricultural exhibit at Cranbrook next summer. With all deference I presume to suggest that it would be a good idea if the people of Cranbrook and its vicinity were to take into their serious consideration the advisability of holding an agricultural exhibition here during the coming summer in connection with other exhibits and the usual annual sports. Our neighbors at Nelson annually hold such an ex-

hibition, and although in a small way, so far successfully, with a smaller territory and less diversity of production than we have. Cranbrook district is the natural center of not only a large timber and mining industry, but by not any means less the center of a fruit growing and vegetable producing community, as well as having a large number of successful stock raisers within its precincts. This territory includes the Creston fruit district to the west, the fertile Tobacco Plains to the southeast and the wonderful Windermere district to the north-east.

Cranbrook is much more accessible to Creston district than Nelson and one would almost be safe in saying that the people of that district would preferably send exhibits here.

Picking a Horse … for a particular purpose is easy for us because we have them for all kinds of use. Naturally our Liv-

ery Service is far superior to that of the horse which has to cart coal during the week and carry his owner to a funeral on Sunday. If Santa Claus saw our horses he would pension off his old reindeers, chop up his old sleigh and hire a rig from us. You should do the same when you require the services of a horse and carriage for any purpose, especially as our scale of charges makes it really cheap transit. Handley Livery Stables !!Notice!! … James Kerrigan begs to notify the residents of East Kootenay that he has added a Mineral Water Factory to his establishment and would cordially solicit any resident or traveler to call or send for a sample order (particularly by the trade) and guarantees his goods superior to any in the district. The public are respectfully

requested to visit us and sample the goods at the factory.

1907 Worst Storm in Years … Trains Are Held Up For Indefinite Period.

Great Loss To The Stockmen. Nothing Like It Known In This Country For The Past Forty Years.

R. L. T. Galbraith; one of the early pioneers of this country, who came to this district about forty years ago, was in town on Tuesday on his way from Fernie to Fort Steele. Talking to a representative of the Herald, Mr. Galbraith said that during the forty years that he had resided in this district he had never seen such a winter. There had been a few winters when it had been exceedingly cold, but only for a short time.

He said that he was talking to David Griffith, who preceded him in this district by a few years, and that Mr.

Griffith had agreed with him that it was positively the worst winter that the country had seen in forty-five years.

Delayed by Snow and Cattle … G. P. Tisdale and James Staples arrived on the belated passenger Wednesday morning, having been since Sunday getting from Medicine Hat to Cranbrook. Mr. Staples said that travelling this winter was a bitter experience for anyone who had indulged. “Why, it only took about five or six inches of snow to stop a train, as everywhere along the track the snow packed like ice. We were bothered a good deal by hungry cattle that had wandered into the cuts to get out of the deep snow.

The poor creatures were skinned and bleeding up to the knees, and they would crowd onto the railroad track to get out of the deep snow

and then refuse to leave their haven of refuge. At St. Mary’s Bridge there was a yearling stuck between the ties. The brakeman got the animal off and started back to the train when he was attacked by a large steer that ran him around the front of the engine. The brakeman sought safety between two cars, but not before the animal had struck him once with its horns. The brakeman tried to scare the animal with his lantern which was caught on the long horn of the steer and the last the passengers saw of either lantern or steer, was as they passed out of sight over the prairie, the lighted lantern swinging from one of the animals.”

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow … Four lady tonsorial artists passed through Cranbrook Monday, on their way to Moyie, where they will prune the soup strainers of the St. Eugene miners and others, local or otherwise.

The poems themselves can be in any style, but wait - they must be written with performance in mind and the performance or recitation of a poem must take no more then 60 seconds.

All submissions will be accepted, by email, fax or handed-in hard copies. They will be judged here at the Townsman by numerous judges and lovers of poetry, and the five favourites will be chosen to make a short list. The five finalist poets will then be recorded reciting their poems for videos, to be posted on our website. If you as the poet are uncomfortable being filmed “slamming” your poem, an actor will do it for you. The public will then be invited to vote for the winning poem. Send your poems to barry@dailytownsman.com, or drop them off at 822 Cranbrook Street North, V1C 3R9.
