Local rider embarks on Paralympic quest TRE VOR CR AWLEY

In life it’s important to dream big, and Sarah Cummings is no different.

After two years of intensive training, the Cranbrook equestrian rider is aiming for a spot on Team Canada for the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

She has been successful at various competitions over the last 24 months, scoring either first or second in every

competition she’s placed, which has landed her in the top-10 list of eligible riders for the Canadian Para-equestrian Team.

Cummings describes a spot in the Rio Games in 2016 as an ‘impossible’ goal, but adds that the 2020 Games in Tokyo is far enough away for her to pad her competition resume for the Canadian team.

Shout-out for Heid-Out Hits Canada’s Top 11 Must Visit list TRE VOR CR AWLEY

In what shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone in Cranbrook or Kimberley, the Heidout Restaurant and Brewhouse was recently noticed by the Food Network in a list of the top brewpubs in Canada.

The Heidout joins a list of 10 other brewpubs across the country from

larger cities, such as the Big Rock Brewery in Calgary and the Canoe Brew Pub in Victoria.

Unveiled a few days ago, the list identifies the top spots where people can sit down and sip on beers that were made in the same vicinity.

Gold for Colin Ferrie C AROLYN GR ANT

Kimberley’s Colin Ferrie took gold in the Men’s Classic Sprint at the Canada Games in Prince George Tuesday.

While Ferrie prides himself on being a good all round skier, he has always thought of himself as more of a distance specialist, not a sprinter.

“The funny thing is I thought this race might

be a cast-away,” he said in a phone interview from Prince George, where he will continue racing this week. “So I was definitely really relaxed going into the race, not expecting too much, and I think in the end, that kind of helped me. It’s an amazing feeling right now. I’m over the moon really.”

See FERRIE, Page 4

ne of the most popular fisheries in the East Kootenay is likely to undergo some pretty significant changes this year.

Whiteswan Lake, nestled in the Kootenay Rocky Mountain range about 25 kilometres east of Canal Flats, has been a priority for fisheries management people over the past few years.

Proposed changes concerning this lake and nearby Moose Lake (Alces) were based on recommendations from stakeholders who participated in the recently developed Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park Management Plan. There were many options for management considered in this plan, including leaving the lake “status quo” — or no changes. This option

was ruled out for several reasons apparently, but the main one being that stakeholders participating in the plan had indeed recommended some changes after much consultation.

Therefore, doing nothing would create negative engagement results for participants, and there would be unnecessary opportunity restrictions on anglers as well.

What Changes can Anglers Expect?

In reference to this, I recently interviewed Heather Lamson, a Fisheries Biologist with the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations.

Heather came to the East Kootenay three years ago to join the Cranbrook based staff, after spending time in California,

Terrace, Squamish, and Campbell River in the same line of work. The following is the dialogue from that interview.

Question: Can you tell our readers what management options will likely occur on Whiteswan Lake in 2015/16?

Answer: Proposed regulation changes, effective April 1st, 2015 include the following: Opening Whiteswan on December 27,changed from January 3rd.

Changing Moose Lake regulation from “No ice fishing; trout/char daily quota = 2; bait ban, single barbless hook; electric motors only to “trout/char daily quota 2”.

Opening Outlet Creek below the falls to harvest on rainbow trout (limit five) April 1 to July 31.

Big Sugar sweetens the Key City Theatre Gordie Johnson talks to the Townsman about the acoustic reboot of Toronto’s Blues-Rock legends

Ferdy Bell and

“Oh

man, the tour’s just been fantastic,” gushes Gordie Johnson, vocalist-guitarist of Big Sugar.

“Our acoustic incarnation’s been met with surprise and delight. Especially for big fans who’ve seen us dozens of times. They’re getting to hear material we haven’t done since our first record. Some songs we’ve actually never played on tour! There’s always this surprised look on people’s faces when it takes them the first couple of bars, and then they recognize the song. Even some of our more popular stuff; it takes them until the first verse before they say: ‘oh my God, it’s THAT one!’ So it’s been a nice reaction, every night.”

East Kootenay fans of blues-driven reggae-rock stand to feel the same reactions this coming Monday, March 2, at the Key City Theatre, where Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar display their winning

acoustic format (as displayed on their latest album “Yardstyle”) for all discerning music-lovers to wow at.

“There are eight guys onstage, playing in this acoustic format — there are no speakers onstage — and we’re just sitting where we can see and hear each other without amplification; the band gets more intricate, every night. We’re communicating on a pretty high level. I’ve got so many great guys onstage with me. We’re all people who play together a lot, but never with all of us onstage at the same time! It’s definitely a very gratifying musical experience for me...and the band as well.”

Big Sugar was originally formed in 1988 as the backing band for Toronto jazz chanteuse Molly Johnson, but by 1991 had evolved into a blues-driven power trio.

The band’s second album ‘Five Hundred Pounds’ was the breakout CanRock album of 1993, and Big Sugar

quickly gained a nationwide audience based on Johnson’s fiery guitar virtuosity, expressively howling vocals, and explosive stage presence (the band plays without set lists; Johnson calls the tunes as they come to him). Follow-up albums like 1996’s ‘Hemi-Vision’ made

them platinum superstars, but the band folded on New Year’s Eve 2003/04. Undaunted, Johnson then moved to Austin, Texas, to form the cowboy-metal trio Grady (who recorded four strong albums of their own), as well as the gospel-dub duo Sit Down Servant. Big

NOW AT NUTTERS – YOU’RE A SENIOR AT 60!!

Sugar themselves finally reunited in 2010 and have been rolling hot ever since.

“We’ve been playing acoustic all along anyway,” Johnson explains, “but usually just as a medium for rehearsal, or songwriting, or prepping for recording — it’s just a far more efficient way to do that. And we found that, rather than keeping it to ourselves, we have so much fun doing it that we decided we’d share it finally with people; so now we’re taking that out and doing it out loud!”

Big Sugar’s Cranbrook appearance will be the fifth of 14 dates on their current North American tour. “Eventually our tour will take us home to Austin,” Johnson says; the Big Sugar frontman now calls the Lone Star State home at least half of time, even though he’s still a proud Canadian.

“We’ve got a bunch of South by Southwest festival shows. And the rest of the year’s going to be busy! We have more acoustic gigs coming in beyond this tour. We also have electric gigs that come in every year for the summer. We have a new electric record, which is already

recorded. We went to Europe three times last year alone, which is something we haven’t done in 15 years, and there’s suddenly become a renewed interest in us over there. I don’t have all the dates on the calendar yet, but it looks pretty busy!”

The conversation arcs back to Johnson’s ongoing pride in his band’s wide-ranging musical breadth.

“This is a really unique way to see us play this music,” says Johnson. “You’re catching the band at it’s most inspired point in many years. There’s things going on onstage where we’re so thankful to be able to do this in theatres every night, and the crowd is responding positively to us. There’s no barrier between us and the audience in this format. It’s so quiet and intimate. We can sense the crowd’s reaction.

Every breath, you know?”

Johnson’s touring lineup for the ‘Yardstyle’ experience includes longtime Big Sugar alumni Garry Lowe (bass) and Keith Hoppe (horns), as well as Stephen Beaudin (drums), DJ Friendliness (toastmaster), and Jamaican

reggae legend Willi Williams, among others.

“Every night on the tour has been as wonderful as the last one.

We’ve never been ones to distinguish negatively between the cities and towns we play in. Every night we sit down in our little circle and play is a good day, and the crowds have not let us down.”

Johnson also explains a deeper sense of noble purpose that empowers his artistic heart.

“Something that gives us a great deal of emotional drive on the tour is our charity work with WorldVision.

We teamed up with them on the beginning of this tour. We decided not to just make this tour be about selling records, or T-shirts, or concert tickets. At every show, our fans have been visiting our merch table and sponsoring a child in Ethiopia. We picked a village in Ethiopia to make our focus, and in the time we’ve been on tour we’ve sent an entire village of kids to school.

Now we’ve moved on to another village.

“We’ve actually had to move our focus; we got the job done in the first place! Our fans are blowing our minds.

Some nights we’re getting a dozen kids sponsored. When that’s your motivation to go onstage every night and actually change people’s lives somewhere. We’ve changed an entire community for the better by doing this — acoustic reggae rock. This is something bigger than music. It makes our music better, and more inspired.

Big Sugar perform live in their acoustic incarnation at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre Monday, March 2, (showtime 7:30 pm), with Official Afterglow Party to follow at the legendary Byng Roadhouse (21 Cranbrook Street North).

City won’t install crosswalk near St. Mary’s school Arne Petryshen

Council followed city staff ’s recommendation that no new crosswalk be installed at St. Mary’s School, at Monday’s meeting.

Earlier this year, council had asked the city’s engineering department to have a second look at a request from the school’s principal for the installation of an crosswalk at the intersection of 4th Street South and 16th Avenue South.

In January, city had recommended against the crosswalk, as it didn’t meet the the criteria for the City of Cranbrook Street Sign and Road Marking Manual, or the Pedestrian Crossing Control Manual for British Columbia. Back in November, 2014, principal Jerelynn MacNeil contacted the city to request a crosswalk be installed.

Coun. Isaac Hockley was one of the councillors that asked staff to take a second look at the crosswalk back in January, noting he’d attended the school in the past. He did a student count to see if there was need for a crosswalk.

“I know I said when I was a kid going to St. Mary’s I walked across there all the time, but to be honest I didn’t see too many kids using that as a crosswalk,” Hockley said.

In considering the request, the Engineering and Development Services Department conducted a pedestrian count, as well as contacting ICBC, School District 5 and the principal of St. Mary’s.

Coun. Tom Shypitka said he agreed with city staff, but suggested maybe they could do something on a temporary basis to calm speeds.

“But I think it doesn’t fit the plan as far as provincial and municipal crosswalks are concerned,” Shypitka said.

The pedestrian count was conducted after school on Jan. 21, 2015.

The count found that five students crossed in the vicinity of the requested sidewalk — four crossing south to north, and one crossing north to south.

They also found that only

one student arrived by bus near the requested crossing.

Coun. Norma Blissett noted the low numbers of students using that section to cross.

“It doesn’t seem to warrant the crosswalk,” Blissett said.

The city noted that the one student had been “grandfathered” into the bus service, as the school district had discontinued the service to St. Mary’s.

That student will be moving on from the school in the the next few years, at which point the bus service will be discontinued completely.

Blissett thanked staff for collecting the information.

“There certainly was some question when we were debating the issue about what was really happening there and the frequency of use,” she said. “I appreciate that.”

ICBC told the city that while crosswalks can be placed in areas where pedestrians counts are low and not warranted according to standards, the location has to be safe.

City engineering staff wrote they don’t believe that location to be safe since there is no sidewalk on the school side of the road.

City staff noted that they had spoken with the principal and gave the reasoning for recommending against crosswalk installation there.

MacNeil requested instead for one to be placed on nearby Rotary Trail, but staff said there is not enough pedestrian traffic on the trails to warrant crosswalks.

The crosswalk cost was estimated at $925 for installation and $200 for yearly maintenance.

Cranbrook 4-H holds public speaking event Madison Adams

On February 15, 2015 the Cranbrook 4H Multi Club held their public speeches at the College of the Rockies.

The club has 16 members with seven juniors, six seniors and three Cloverbuds. Club speeches are when each junior and senior members present their handwritten speech in front of an audience.

Juniors, ages nine to 12, must have a speech three to five minutes in length and the seniors, ages 13 and over, must have a speech five to seven minutes in length. Seniors must also do an impromptu speech of one to two minutes.

Cloverbuds are between six and eight years old; they don’t have to do a speech but can if they wish. The top two juniors and the top two seniors then go on to represent their club at districts.

District speeches is when the top juniors and seniors from other clubs around the area come together to compete again. From there the top three seniors and the top three juniors go on to represent the district at Regionals. The top senior from Regionals will go onto represent our region at Provincials, in June.

District speeches were held Sunday, February 22, at 12:30 p.m. at the Jaffray United Church.

Ferrie wins gold Continued from page 1

Ferrie says he was feeling good all day, as he advanced through qualifying heats, the quarter finals, the semis and the final. That’s four 1.5 all out sprints in one day, but he says the track held up well, though it got slushier as the day went on and temperatures rose.

“The course suited me well, the snow base was pretty good. I’ve had a lot of good skate races lately, so I was feeling good. The final was a mass start. In both the quarters and the semis I was first off the line. I got off first in the final again and I picked up the pace right away. The climbs on the course really suited me. I’m not the strongest double poler, so I used the climbs. I had two guys but I held them off.”

Ferrie won the race by a tenth of a second.

He had the day off on Wednesday and resumed racing today.

“For a girl her age, that’s phenomenal,” Ferrie said. “It was a pretty great day for Kimberley athletes.”

Rider sets sights on Rio Continued from page 1 Cummings, who has always had an affinity for horses and equestrian riding ever since she was a little girl, competes in Dressage which can be described as the art of dancing on horseback or ballet on horseback.

“It’s something to compete in,” Cummings said. “I did a little jumping at one point, but it just terrified me because I would always forever fall off and I have to be very careful.

“The flatwork was the only thing offered that would go to the Olympic level through the para stuff, so that’s why we picked dressage, and then it’s not as terrifying for my coach to watch me train.”

Though partially paralyzed on the right side of her body because of Cerebral Palsy, she has been able to overcome the challenges of her physical limitations and thrive in the competition arena with her horse, Spirit Keeper.

She rides and trains out of the Riverbend Equestrian Centre out in Wycliffe, and is coached

by Maya Huppie.

In order for her to break into the ranking and guarantee herself a spot on Team Canada, she needs to increase her judging scores by 10 per cent and compete in a minimum of six shows.

There are shows in Kalispell, Spokane and Kamloops that she attends during the competitive season—shows that get her ranked na-

“That gets you ranked on the long list.

The short list are the ones that go to the Olympics. I’m currently 5th on the long list so I need to increase my scores by 10 per cent,” Cummings said.

“The extended trot, the free walk, your freestyle—they all get scored and each move is scored out of 10. So when you increase that, it puts your [overall] score up.”

To reach that next level, she’s aiming at international competitions in California and Calgary which will be enough to break into the shortlist if her scores are good enough.

from when she first started competing, where scores were determined after taking video of a routine and sending it to the judges.

It was the videos that eventually landed Cummings on the national para-Dressage radar.

“From there, Canada’s coach—Lynn Marshall—noticed me on one of the videos, so she contacted Maya and Maya got me going on the whole thing,” Cummings said. “I looked into it, got classified, because you have to have different grades with the different levels of your disability. It varies so you can be put in different categories.”

Grades are differentiated by the degree of challenges faced by the rider, whether physical, visual, developmental or a combination of all three. Cummings is classified as grade 3, while the spectrum runs from 1a being a severe disability to grade 4 as being only a slight disability.

In addition to coaching from Huppie and Marshall, Cummings has also gotten some in-

Competing at the high level that she needs to reach her dream of reaching the Paralympics, Cummings is hoping to raise financial support from the Cranbrook and Kimberley business community.

Changes coming to Whiteswan Lake fishery Continued from page 1 Question: Before we talk about the actual regulation changes there is one thing I would like to get you to comment on. The fish barrier at Outlet Creek seemed to be one of the most popular management options from stakeholders. (A) Why is the construction of a fish barrier necessary? (B) How much will the barrier cost? I am assuming the Habitat Conservation Fund would be a natural source of funding for a project such as this because monies for the fund come from surcharges on angling and hunting licenses?

Answer: Outlet Creek flows from Whiteswan Lake to the White River. A waterfall exists on Outlet Creek which is a barrier to upstream migration into the lake but which rainbow trout can successfully move downstream over.

Rainbow trout are not native to the East Kootenay region and have been stocked in Whiteswan Lake and many other lakes in the region over the past 50 years.

Our two native trout species in the East Kootenay, bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout, are both listed as species at risk.

Rainbow trout escape from Whiteswan Lake through Outlet Creek and are known to hybridize with westslope cutthroat trout.

Hybridization with rainbow trout is the leading cause for the decline of the westslope cutthroat trout species, which exist as pure cutthroat in only eight to 20 per cent of their native range. A barrier on Outlet Creek will allow for rainbow trout spawning and fry

to return to the lake to sustain the population there but will stop outmigration to the White River.

By stopping the source of rainbow trout to downstream waters, the goal is to reverse hybridization while maintaining a strong rainbow trout fishery at Whiteswan Lake.

The estimated cost for barrier construction ranges from $120,000 to $170,000. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC has been very supportive of fisheries work at Whiteswan Lake and has funded a number of projects over the past couple of years, as has our Fish and Wildlife branch. We will be seeking funding from FFSBC and FLNRO, and are hoping the project will be funded in either 2015 or 2016.

Question: Now to the regulation changes themselves. The opening of Outlet Creek for fishing below the falls from April 1-July 31 is an interesting option. It does puzzle me a bit because of course this is for the most part, spawning season for naturalized Rainbow trout from Whiteswan Lake. I simply do not know of too many fisherman who will want to fish for trout which are in the spawning process and are very likely inedible. Would you explain the rationale behind this?

Answer: The idea is to enable fishermen with a tool to help fisheries managers remove rainbow trout from Outlet Creek below the falls. Results from genetic analysis have shown that below the falls, rainbow trout have displaced westslope cutthroat trout

in Outlet Creek. Paired with creating a barrier to stop outmigration, Fisheries aims to remove colonized rainbow trout from Outlet Creek and perhaps anglers can help us do that. Studies in other areas have shown that there is a strong tendency for displaced westslope cutthroat trout to recolonize if the rainbow source is reduced or stopped.

Question: What is the reasoning behind opening the ice fishery on this lake on December 27, instead of January 3 as it has been for so many years?

Answer: The annual ice fishery at Whiteswan Lake will open seven days earlier to create opportunity for school aged children to fish during holidays.

Stakeholders prioritized fishing opportunities for children and opening Whiteswan during school holidays is a step towards that.

Question: Whiteswan Lake has not really been significantly stocked since 2004. Both your lake net survey data and annual spawner data suggests the trout population is stable in this lake, but increased angler days may increase harvest. Keeping this in mind, Is there a possibility that the trout population could be augmented with stocked sterile triploid trout in the future?

Answer: Stocking with sterile rainbow trout is an option for the future. Our extensive fish and angler datasets at Whiteswan Lake indicate that the population is self-sustaining and stable, and that harvest rates have steadily

decreased over the past 20-50 years.

We will keep a close eye on the fishery following regulation changes to determine harvest and if the lake warrants additional stocking. Too many fish in a lake can reduce food supply and affect fish size, so we need to balance population size with harvest.

Question: Other than the increased limit on Outlet Creek below the falls, will the trout daily quota remain at two in the main body of the lake with a continued single hook restriction?

Answer: Yes Question: I understand that nearby Moose Lake, which has been managed as somewhat of a trophy fishery in the past, will be open for ice fishing for the first time later on this year and some of the other restrictions will be lifted as well. Can you elaborate on this?

Answer: Stakeholder direction from the Whiteswan Fisheries Management Planning process included

managing Moose Lake as a family fishery. Moose Lake is less windy than Whiteswan and smaller, conducive to fishing for kids. Since 2013, Moose Lake has been stocked with greater numbers to reflect this change. A change in regulations to open the ice fishery and liberalize restrictions will potentially offset pressure at Whiteswan as well. As a stocked lake, harvest can be offset with stocking.

Thanks Heather. We appreciate you making all of us aware of these changes which are likely going to be implemented starting April 1 when the new regulations for 2015/16 go into effect.

Stories in the Collection DAVID HUMPHREY

T

here are literally thousands of stories waiting to be discovered and decoded in the collection of the Cranbrook Museum & Archives. It is possible to pull any item at random and be taken down a wonderful road of research to determine its story and its connection to Cranbrook. With the present ‘urban deer’ being a hot topic in the news let’s have a look for the story of the attached photo and other stories of problem animals in our city’s history.

An urban deer sighting is mentioned in the January 1909 Herald when a played-out deer ran past the St. Eugene Hospital, then crossed Cranbrook Street close to the school before heading back into the bush.

Other deer made the headlines in 1928 when two came through Slaterville and headed down Baker Street “obviously bewildered by the city lights”. It was the final straw for A.B. Smith in September 1938 when the white-tailed deer ate all the plums he had destined for horticultural exhibitions.

Horses and cattle freely wandering through town seem to have been a real constant in Cranbrook’s early years. There are frequent complaints from Baker Hill residents of these animals trampling the lawns and boulevards, wrecking flowerbeds and generally leaving their excrement on the sidewalks.

The police are the unfortunate officials who have to round up these wayward animals and try to extract fines from the owners.

COURTESY CRANBROOK HISTORY CENTRE AND ARCHIVES

A little something for Throwback Thursday. Pictured is the deer that V. Hyde Baker transported from Wattsburg and put into his wildlife preserve in Baker Park in Cranbrook, in the early years of the last century.

In 1943 it was said that some owners found it cheaper to pay the fines than it was to hire someone to look after their cattle.

There are also some amusing animal stories hidden in the archived newspapers. In April 1935 a grouse made several attempts to quench its thirst at the “government joy fountain” (liquor store) but Charlie Spence was finally able to chase it away.

A mongrel dog made its presence known in two different stores in August 1937. It made the habit of quietly slipping into the stores just before the doors

are locked. In both cases damage was done when the dog attempted to leave the building after a good night’s sleep. The owners of the jewellery and magazine stores had to clean up the mess and pick up the tab for damage caused. Some of the urban wildlife can be downright vicious as is reported in May 1966 when schoolboy Ken Lythgoe was attacked by a persistent muskrat, once again close to the hospital. The muskrat ended up dead and Ken ended up with an antirabies injection.

To get back to the story of the

photo from the Archives pictured here. The Herald of August 25th 1910 states; “V. Hyde Baker’s private game preserve has been further enlarged by the addition of two deer, a buck and a doe, which were brought in from Wattsburg (Lumberton) yesterday by Archie Elwell.”

This photo clearly shows the Baker home and so was taken in the neighbourhood of present day Baker Park and Cranbrook’s Tourist Park. Are these two deer the ancestors of Cranbrook’s present urban deer population?

And who says that deer cannot be successfully relocated?

Opinion/Events

As I hit the floor with a dizzy spell and nearly passed out, my first thought was “Oh my God, I might have to go to the hospital.”

Terrified of the inevitable, I held out all that afternoon and throughout a very scary night. By 6 a.m. the next morning, a decision was made — mostly by my wife — that it was time.

Now, you need to know that I am a 68-year-old who is petrified of anything to do with the medical system, and have never spent a night in the hospital in my entire life.

On arrival (approximately 8 a.m.) at the emergency ward of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, I was immediately taken in to be examined by Dr. Turner. I was very impressed by the calming effect she had on me — her bedside manner, her thoroughness and mostly (to me) her compassion. For the rest of the day I was subject to a battery of tests from various nurses, doctors and assistants, all of which were very good. I was eventually admitted to ICU about 10 p.m. That evening and given a comfortable bed.

The following afternoon my family physician came to see me, and a decision was made to conclude two further tests at home, and my bed would be given to another sick person. I was released that afternoon.

To summarize my event, I was very impressed at the care that I received. After I had arrived home, I thought that I would assess my event via the internet. I typed in “Doctor Turner in Cranbrook” and there she was on YouTube discussing the problem the hospital system has in Cranbrook.

How lucky I was to arrive on a slower day and have the perfect staff to look after me.

I would invite everyone to go on-line and send a message to your MLA to rectify this system and help these professional and overworked people so they too may have a quality life.

I wish to thank all the staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook and my family physician, Dr. Rolandi, for your professionalism and compassion that you showed me on Feb. 10, 2015.

The Current Threat

MP David Wilks states that “the international jihadist movement has declared war on us” (Townsman 02/24/2015) and goes on to justify the passage of Bill C-51 as necessary tool to fight this threat.

Really Mr. Wilks? If we were truly “at war” why would one of the PM’s most trusted lieutenants, John Baird, have recently jumped ship? It is clear that our MP has never experienced real war and thankfully neither have I. I would strongly suggest that anyone who wishes to have a broader understanding of the real situation in the world seek out writer and former war correspondent Chris Hedges. In a recent interview on

CBC Ideas Hedges talked of the “drug of war” and as a war correspondent covered wars in Central America, Bosnia, Iraq and other global hotspots. He has seen the horror, loss, pain and fear that poisons people’s souls in conflict zones. The spiritual emptiness that ensues leads survivors to lust for revenge in an escalation of violence which can never be quenched.

The axiom that violence begets violence should give Canadians pause when our Prime Minister advocates the use of force whether it is in Ukraine (an exceedingly foolish move if pursued) or in Iraq and Syria. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose by taking an aggressive stance on these matters.

Does this mean that I think there is no threat. Absolutely not. But it must be kept in perspective. To gain further insight into ISIS I would suggest reading an article recently published in the Atlantic Monthly entitled “What ISIS really wants.” It is a chilling insight into the newest bogeyman that we have to deal deal with on the global stage.

As I said, we must keep this in perspective. The turmoil in the Middle East is very much an American problem. Yes, they are our biggest trading partner but does that mean that we must participate in their invasions, occupations and self- appointed role of global policeman?

It will take great courage and wisdom to seek another path. Should we assist in trying to thwart supporters of violent extremism? Of course. But let us not be driven by fear and subsequently surrender the very freedoms that Stephen Harper and his underlings would have us believe that they are “protecting.”

To Mr. Wilks I say this: I realize that as a backbench MP you have no choice but to support bill C-51. Do you not wonder why as many as four previous Prime Ministers are on the record stating that we need much more rigorous oversight than currently exists and that the expanded powers of this bill (which could undermine our constitutional rights) are far in excess of what is really required to deal effectively with this current threat?

Extirpation

I find to impossible to believe in this day and age there are people living in our society supporting the extermination of a specie of our wildlife. I am talking about those who are advocating abandoning the wolf kill program designed to protect a small herd of caribou that are facing extinction.

Our ungulate numbers are being decimated by predation, including hunting and if something is not done soon we will be into a full and rapid decline. People are having trouble seeing moose, sheep herds are disappearing (Premier Ridge), complaints regularly appearing about the few whitetail deer left, mule deer have never recovered from the winter of 96/97 and their numbers appear to be moving downward and elk populations are way down.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor First Overnighter

Thursday, FEBRuary 26, 2015

We seem to be spending our time and effort in ensuring predators survive and now we must give the same attention to out ungulate populations.

Why have deer taken up residence in Cranbrook and Kimberley? Because the wolves and cougars have us surrounded and are even hunting within our communities. If you were a deer would you wander into this overly rich predator environment? Pack pepper spray for your protection, if you are afraid of deer.

Unchecked predation in Yellowstone Park has reduced elk populations from 22,000 to 2,200 and reports indicate a continued downward trend. Kootenay and Banff National Parks have had ungulate numbers almost eliminated since the return of wolves.

If we have 8,000 wolves province wide, each wolf needs a large ungulate a week to maintain themselves. The number of ungulates taken just by wolves is not sustainable. We also have to maintain cougar, black bear, grizzly bear and coyote as well without wiping out their food sources.

I foresee two things happening if predator controls are not implemented. The first thing to happen will be increased predation of ranch animals (already happening) and then a reduced or elimination of hunting seasons and a loss of government revenue and employment.

No animal ought to be faced with extinction in this day and age and that includes all of our ungulates and all of our predators as well. All must be kept in a balance to ensure maintenance of our ecosystems health. Too many elk means overgrazing takes place. Too many predators means loss of ungulate populations.

Too many hunters means overkill takes place.

Too many single-minded people means all will be lost.

Correction: Andrea Chénier

The screening of the Opera Andrea Chénier at Columbia Theatres in Cranbrook is playing at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, not 11 a.m. as previously reported. The Townsman apologizes for the error.

There will be an encore performance on Monday, March 9, at 6:30 p.m.

The opera that British press have been raving about is making its Canadian debut at 30 cinemas nation-wide, including Cranbrook.

Jonas Kaufmann stars as Andrea Chénier, the pre-romantic poet embroiled in the French revolution. Conducted by Antonio Pappano and directed by David McVicar, the new production for The Royal Opera opens during the opulence of pre-revolutionary France and comes to its climatic end in the final days of the “Reign of Terror.”

Andrea Chénier, Saturday, Feb. 28, at 10 a.m. at Columbia Theatres in Cranbrook.

Lady Avalanche off to Camosun in search of PACWEST Championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The College of the Rockies Lady Avalanche is on Vancouver Island and ready to compete for a PACWEST Volleyball Championship.

“The girls are super excited,” said Lady Avs head coach Andrew Zurrin Wednesday afternoon, while awaiting takeoff on the team’s flight from Vancouver to Victoria. “They all know they can get to the top.

They’re practicing phenomenally right now.

“If all the girls show up and play to their potential, we’re going to

have good success…We play a very big team game, where everybody has to contribute, we have to attack from all spots and everybody has to be digging well. If we do that, we’ll get a team game going and we’ll be able to chip away at teams and wear them down.”

The Lady Avs (11-13, 22 points) finished the 2014-15 PACWEST campaign fifth in the conference and will take on the fourth-place University of the Fraser Valley Cascades (13-11, 26 points) in the quarter-finals at Camosun Col-

lege Thursday night.

“If we close our blocks and block well, serve well and tough, they don’t pass well,” Zurrin said of the Cascades.

“They run a generic offense that we can read. If we close our blocks, we’ll be able to attack back and hopefully finish the game well.”

The two teams split their four-match season series, with the Cascades earning home victories (3-0, 3-1) Oct. 24 and 25.

The Lady Avs claimed a pair of straight-sets triumphs Feb. 6 and 7 at College of the Rockies.

Should the Lady Avs get past the Cascades Thursday night, they will face the number-one ranked hosts from Camosun College in the semifinal Friday night at 7 p.m (MT).

The women’s gold medal game is slated for 6:30 p.m. Saturday and the bronze medal game goes beforehand at 2 p.m.

“This is not new for us. We play four [match-

es] in a row usually,” Zurrin said of the compact schedule. “They’re used to having game three and the next day game four. I’ve got a deep bench, which, if I have to, I will get into. I hope all my starters show up well so we can just ride them and see how well they do together.

“Preparing for that third match and if there was a fourth, preparing for that all in a row -we’re used to it. We’ve done it three times already now and it’s just old hat.”

Regina rendezvous Kootenay Ice grab shootout win over Pats

Taylor Rocc a

It took five shootout rounds to find a winner Wednesday night, but thanks to Jaedon Descheneau, the Kootenay Ice ran out of Regina with two points.

“When you come back from down 3-1 and go ahead, that says a lot for the response from [the 7-6 shootout loss in Swift Current Tuesday],” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill Wednesday night from Regina. “But we had a chance to put the puck into an empty net and we passed the puck three times for no reason. Then they come down and score. That’s just not good. Thank God we got the extra point in the shootout.”

Descheneau ended the game in the shootout, out-waiting Pats goaltender Daniel Wapple before shelving a quick shot high glove.

It was the only goal scored by either team in the skills competition.

For the Ice, victory

came despite a rough start and a rough finish to regulation.

With 46 seconds remaining in regulation, Pats defenceman Connor Hobbs fired a long shot from the point that eluded Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, tying the game 4-4 and forcing overtime. The tying goal came after a missed op-

portunity at the other end of the rink, where the Ice were unable to get a shot towards the Pats cage, which had been vacated by Wapple.

“I would think this late in the season, we would care a lot more than we do,” McGill said.

“Sometimes, it looks like we don’t care. And that’s not everybody, that’s just a select few.”

In the first period, Taylor Cooper and Pavel

Padakin put the hosts ahead 2-0 after 20 minutes.

Ice forward River Beattie scored early in the second period to cut the lead to one, but rookie sensation Sam Steel was there to respond with his 16th of the campaign 4:04 later.

Descheneau pulled the visitors to within one once again, jamming home a rebound on top of the crease, before Sam Reinhart scored late in the second period to tie the game 3-3 heading into the final period.

Ice forward Tim Bozon gave his team its first lead of the night 11:11 into the third period. Left all alone in the slot, the native of Valbonne, France, took a pass from Reinhart before wiring one past Wapple for a 4-3 Ice lead.

Unfortunately, ghosts of days past continued to haunt the Ice as Hobbs tied the game in its dying moments.

A scoreless overtime period led to the

make special players that other players don’t, whether offensively or defensively. They make ‘OMG’ plays all the time.

Other players are shocked by it and say, ‘I can’t believe they just did that.’”

Thompson, a native of Vernon, led the PACWEST in kills, averaging 3.4 per set.

Thompson was also second in the conference in digs, averaging 3.67 per set. With 3.62 digs per set, Koshman landed third in the conference behind her teammate.

As for Stockton, the native of Melbourne, Australia, led the PACWEST in kills, averaging 4.19 per set.

Special Olympics athletes return home with hardware Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley/ Cranbrook Special Olympics team is back from the 2015 Special Olympics B.C. (SOBC) Winter Games in Kamloops and they’ve brought a treasure chest full of hardware.

K i m b e r l e y / C ra n brook Special Olympics sent 11 athletes, including five curlers and six skiers.

In total, the group laid claim to 17 medals -- all in skiing -- including 13 gold, two silver and two bronze. The curling team narrowly missed out on a bronze medal.

“Kimberley and Cranbrook has sent skiers to the Provincial Games since the first Provincial Games in the

“Kimberley & Cranbrook has sent skiers to the Provincial Games since the first Provincial Games in the late 1980s. They continue to excel to this day.”

Coach Joanne Thom “They continue to excel to this day.”

The curling team, comprised by Susie Whipple, James MacFarlane, Ben Stein, Clinton Marsollier, Daniel

Barker and coaches Michael Ralph and Misty Pagliaro, finished fourth, falling to the rink from Oceanside (Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Bowser) in the bronze-medal match.

According to Thom, this is only the second year of curling for the group and the experience they’ve gained in that time is “amazing.”

In skiing, Roxana Podrasky, Erin Thom and Jonathan Robins brought home three gold medals each. The trio competed in the super G, giant slalom and slalom.

Neil Rye claimed two gold and a bronze medal, while Jesse Jensen earned two silvers and bronze. Kendall Salanski rounded out the group

Lulay was an honourary coach for the 2015 games, which were hosted in Kamloops this past weekend. with two gold medals.

Steve Norton, head coach of the skiing team, also attended.

From Feb. 19 to 21, the games were hosted in Kamloops and Sun Peaks, with 600 competitors from British Colum-

bia and Yukon Territory earning more than 350 medals in seven sports.

“We were thrilled to see the powerful way our Games athletes were welcomed and celebrated in Kamloops.

They were treated like

athletes, with outstanding competitive venues, enthusiastic and welltrained officials and volunteers, and media coverage,” said SOBC president and CEO Dan Howe in a press release.

“We heard wonderful

response from those who generously came out to volunteer and the sponsors who supported the Games. As much as these athletes were inspired by the Games, they inspired so many others.”

KRIC workshop to help small businesses tackle tech KRIC workshops on March 4 and 5 will help small businesses tackle technology tegration workshop in Golden on March 4 and in Cranbrook on March 5.

“Kevin Erickson from GO Productivity will deliver an eye-opening workshop to help small business people feel more comfortable integrating technology into

their businesses,” said Kevin Shepit, KRIC Project Manager. “It’s important people know that tech integration isn’t scary—it’s something you can learn to do and it pays big dividends.”

Notice!

Thanks to all our customers for 26 great years.

As of March 1, 2015 Alpine Plumbing will be joining High Point Plumbing.

Alpine Plumbing is very pleased to announce that High Point Plumbing & Heating is ready and willing to serve all our Kimberley customers and provide the same great service you’ve come to expect.

High Point Plumbing offers all the same services plus air conditioning, heat pumps, drain cleaning and more.

away from using spreadsheets or address books.

It can also be implementing hardware in the form of cell phones or iPads.”

Productivity is the goal when it comes to integrating different technology into your business. The workshop will cover some ‘productivity basics.’

“Productivity is about doing more with what you already have, and that applies to technology as well,” Ziorio said.

“You’ll learn to break down the steps so you can succeed in your implementation with investing your time and dollars wisely.”

Ziorio and the GO Productivity team developed the workshop content with small businesses in mind. “When we started this project, we heard a lot of barriers

from small business when it comes to implementing technology,” Ziorio said. “Our approach is to educate companies on the best practices and tools available for them when it comes to technology implementation.

“Technologies will constantly change, so we like to focus on the process of adoption that they can use over and over again. This session provides a high-level overview of this process and will give participants a sense of where to begin, what they are doing right and what areas they have for improvement in their technology implementations.”

These half-day workshops will run from 1-4pm at The Wolf’s Den in Golden Wednesday, March 4, and at the Pres-

tige Resort in Cranbrook on Thursday, March 5.

The $40 registration fee includes snacks and refreshments as well as all workshop materials.

“Golden participants can also attend the free KRIC Business and Beer mixer at the Wolf’s Den from five to seven pm on March 4,” Shepit said.

“We encourage you to stick around after the workshop and mingle over appies and drinks.”

For more information or to register, visit www. kric.ca or contact KRIC at 1-877-505-KRIC (5742).

This workshop is made possible thanks to KRIC’s Premier Sponsor, Community Futures East Kootenay, along with partners Fortis BC, Teck, the City of Kimberley, the Columbia Basin Trust and the Elk Valley Economic Initiative.

URBAN DEER love hate Whether you

them or

them

PAGE 13

CULLING DOESN’T WORK There is no way to target specific deer.

f Most conflicts reported involve Mule deer because they may be more active during daylight. White-tailed deer are more likely to be active at night. The clover traps are baited and set to trigger during the night. The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of species. f Killing fawns, yearlings and bucks will not normally affect the reproductive potential of the deer herd within a community. (Harris, MoFLNRO, Penticton, 2012) The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of sex or age. f There is no way to know that a deer suspected of aggression has been eliminated from the community. It may be the less habituated deer who have not had conflict with humans.

Culling causes the Rebound Effect. f As long as there is an abundant food source and deer feel comfortable in a location, the culled deer population will be replaced through other deer moving in and a birthing boom.

It’s also called the “vacuum effect.” Thus leading to a perpetual killing cycle costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars without effectively reducing human/deer conflict.

Public safety - the very thing the municipalities say they are trying to address - is not improved.

Below is a diagram of what a Clover Trap used to capture urban deer looks like.

If you see one or know of a location of a trap, please call 250-417-7806 to report it.

The BCDPS wants to document and monitor culling activity. They are being collapsed to lay flat on the ground during the day - often covered in a trap to disguise it. It’s then reset up and baited at dusk to capture the deer from dusk until dawn when the culler returns to kill the deer.

1.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE? Culling costs tens of thousands of your tax dollars each time one is conducted without any lasting or true benefit to citizens.

2. Culling does not improve

public safety - the very reason the city says they are taking this action. (see points to the left side in this ad).

3. Deer populations are in

serious decline in our forests. We need the deer to replenish our barrier deer population.

4. The BCSPCA has made an

official statement against municipalities using culling “when it cannot be performed humanely, and/or there is no scientific justification for the cull.” To the knowledge of the BCDPS, the City of Cranbrook has not provided empirical data or proof that the urban deer cull meets any of these specifications.

5. The City has not effectively

applied non-lethal strategies to reduce conflict such as effective and thorough public education, deer feeding bylaw enforcement, and revisiting and/or developing new bylaws to reduce deer conflict. All these non-lethal methods are utilized and proven to be both fiscally responsible and effective in other communities facing wildlife conflict.

6. The city wants you to believe

they are “euthanizing these deer. They are not. In reality they are caught in clover traps for up to ten hours where they are stressed, can be struggling, and bleating. Then the trap is collapsed on top of them, they are sat upon by the culler and a captive stunning bolt gun is used to smash their skulls in, rendering them unconscious.

After that, they are dragged to a truck where their throats are slit to bleed them out, ensuring complete death.

It was NOT 70% OF CRANBROOK who supports culling!

It was 642 of the deer survey respondents. That’s only 6% of Cranbrook households and only 4% of Cranbrook’s population.

Demand Cranbrook use non-lethal options to reduce conflict with urban deer!

The government says it plans to have hunters shoot as many as 184 wolves from helicopters this year.

Petition backers and letter signatories Pacific Wild and The Valahalla Wilderness Society argue that human encroachment is threatening caribou, not wolves.

They say limits to mining, snowmobiling and backcountry skiing would be a better way to grow the herds.

The provincial government plans to continue culling wolves by sterilizing and shooting them for four more years.

They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs.

Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled flushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator.

Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. People expect to flush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants.

If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t flush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.

Street Angel: An Engagement of Hope In 2010, the Ktunaxa Nation opened the doors of Operation Street Angel.

The vision of Operation Street Angel was modest at first. It would be a place where vulnerable people could get a hot meal and be linked in to the various support programs and services in the Cranbrook area. It was soon apparent that the original modest vision for Street Angel would grow into something beyond all expectations. Street Angel is no longer just a place to get a hot meal. It is a community unto itself and an important and vital part of Cranbrook. Today, people who utilize Street Angel will find a variety of programs and services available, including personal counseling and advocacy, job training and education support.

People may be marginalized in society for many reasons. The most vulnerable populations are often the ones in need and yet access to advocacy services, including education or mental health can be an obstacle. In addition, as result of historical trauma, some people do not feel safe accessing mainstream formal health services. At Street Angel, people can access a variety of advocacy services in a supportive and friendly environment. Through the hard work and cooperation of Street Angel, Interior Health, Mental Health and the East Kootenay Addictions Services Society, these

vital services can be accessed by anyone who is in need. Service recipients know that they will be treated with respect and the strength-based and solution-focused approach utilized by Street Angel staff will always have their well-being and safety as a priority.

The Ktunaxa Nation believes in strong, supportive communities. This commitment is manifested in the philosophy that guides Street Angel. No one gets left behind or turned away. Services are provided to anyone in need and are not limited to Ktunaxa citizens or Aboriginal people or even to the vulnerable. This commitment extends to the services provided by the Nurse Practitioner at Street Angel. Through a unique partnership, Interior Health provides the wage for the Nurse Practitioner while the Ktunaxa Nation is responsible for all operational costs of Street Angel, including clinic and office space, supplies, equipment, travel and clerical and professional development.

The Nurse Practitioner has been very busy bridging the medial access gap in Cranbrook as a result of the loss of physicians. This is a testament to the importance of organizations and communities working together to ensure the health and wellbeing of all residents regardless of ancestry, residency, status

or circumstance. Many people utilize the service of the Nurse Practitioner, not just the vulnerable. In order to protect confidentiality, it was vital to ensure that patients had private access to the clinic.

The Ktunaxa Nation funded extensive renovations to the Street Angel building to ensure private access to the Nurse Practitioner clinic separate from the main entrance.

Recently, Street Angel has seen an increasing number of senior citizens who utilize the service. Some come to play card games or for companionship. Others come to Street Angel because they simply cannot afford to eat every day and the healthy meals that Street Angel provides in a non-judgemental environment help them feel at ease.

Street Angel provides a place where people can rest, get a hot meal and access health, employment and advocacy services. Most importantly, Street Angel is a place where no one is judged and all are welcome.

Street Angel is located at 46 17th avenue south in Cranbrook. Donations of all kinds are accepted and appreciated.

“Two and a half years ago, I was very sick. I was ready to die. Then I met an ‘angel’. Tara, the Nurse Praticitoner got me on a liver treatment. I was on the treatment for over a year and Tara kept a close watch over me for the entire time.

As far as I’m concerend, Tara and Street Angel saved my life.”

“I’ve suffered from depression and post traumatic stress disorder. I’ve expreineced racism in my neighbourhood.

Mark here at Street Angel has never failed to advocate for me or anyone else here that needs his help.”

“The people here aren’t always happygo-lucky, but everyone here, staff included, support each other in a way that we might not get when we’re outside these doors.”

“The staff here aren’t really staff. We’re all one big family that truly care about the well-being of others.”

-Street Angel Client “From the time that Street Angel was simply an idea discussed around meetings, ANKORS saw the value that was presented to our entire community.

Street Angels provides an opportunity for our resources to be offered in a friendly environment.”

“Most importantly is the opportunity that our office and this community has to listen to, acknowledge and be responsive to the needs expressed by those who use Street Angels as a place of safety. This makes us as a community, as a Service Provider and as citizens more responsible and current with our behavior.”

“Individuals facing complex needs and multiple challenges have, through their connection to Street Angel, experienced a trusting and non-judgmental approach. It is this approach that has enabled individuals to safely access the continuum of care services available to them in the community.”

-Gwen Noble Executive Director Community Connections Society of Southeast BC

“I think between Mental Health outreach, nursing staff starting to participate in the online Indigenous Cultural Competency Course and the collaboration between the Street Angel Nurse Practitioner and our Emergency Room Physicians we have seen a reduction in patients presenting to the Emergency Department. In addition the Emergency Department staff have gone to Street Angel to serve dinner to the clients to try and minimize societal differences.”

“Interior Health and the Ktunaxa Nation have a strong relationship focused on the health and well-being of our Cranbrook Citizens. The services that Street Angel provides are important to ensure all members of the community have a place to access support and get connected to resources where necessary.”

“I also believe awareness has been raised in regards to our marginalized population and slowly we are breaking down barriers. I believe there is still work to be done but that we are headed in the right direction. Street Angel has provided a place for people to feel safe, receive a hot meal and holistic health care.”

-Shannon Statham Primary Health Care Manager Community Integration Health Services

-A.J. Brekke Critical Care Manager East Kootenay Regional Hospiital Interior Health Authority

“The Ktunaxa Nation saw a need for an inclusive, supportive place where everyone, regardless of thier past, could access a variety of vital services.”

“We have worked dilligently with our partners to ensure that anyone who needs access to the services provided at Street Angel will be provided with access.”

-Debbie Whitehead Social Sector Director Ktunaxa Nation Council

“Street Angel is a vital service for the community of Cranbrook. By providing a safe and supportive place, where people can access health and other important services, the entire populace of Cranbrook benefits.”

Whither the boyfriend?

Hi Wendy: I was wondering if you could ask your guides if my new boyfriend is seeing another woman. Lately I’ve been getting these feelings he is moving away from me emotionally? I’ve had a few serious relationships with men cheating on me and maybe I’m paranoid. I would also like to know if I would be moving in 2015? Thanks for your time.

Needing Answers Dear Needing Answers: I asked my guides your two questions and this is what I have discovered: Q. Is this woman’s new boyfriend cheating on her? A. Yes Q. Will she be moving out of the town she is living in at this time? A. Yes, she needs to get away from the area she is living in. The energy is not equivalent to what she needs to explore in her life right now. Tell her when she moves she will meet someone who truly accepts her for who she is.

Dear Wendy: I have been having some problems with my son lately. He has been in and out of trouble for

the last few years. I try to talk to him and he yells at me and says he wants to live with his father.

What do your guides have to say about him moving back with his father? Do you think that if he does move back with his father and his wife of four years that things will be okay for him there?

Desperate Mom Dear Desperate Mom: I asked my guides a few questions about your situation with your son and this is what I have discovered: Q. Is this woman’s son respectful and appreciative of his mom?

A. No Q. Do you think it would be a good idea for her if her son moves back with his father? A. Yes, she does not have a strict enough schedule or boundaries with this young fellow. He is hard to manage and she is not tough enough in character to handle him.

Q. If he moves back with his father will he want to come back to his mother and how soon would that be? A. Yes, he will want to come back and live with his mother. We feel within a four-month period she

will hear he wants to come back. It is advisable that she leaves him with his dad for an extended period of time.

The father of the child is sterner, and less likely to believe his son’s lies or put up with these temper tantrums. We see this man has other children and this will be good for his son to learn to share and participate in this family setting.

Q. Will his father’s wife have patience with this child and learn to accept him. A. It is doubtful because this young man has a volatile temper.

Hello Wendy: Could you please ask your guides if my husband will be retiring this year? Will we sell our house in 2016 and get the price we want for it?

We would like to move to a warmer climate.

Will my daughter have any more children; she has had some medical complications and she and hubby would like to have one more child.

Loving Life

Dear Loving Life: I asked me guides the questions you wished them to answer and this is what I have discovered: Q. Will this woman’s husband be retiring from his current job in 2015. A. No Q. Would it be advisable for them to put their house on the market to sell in 2015 or 2016? A. The third part of this year would be more advisable for them to put their home on the market.

Q. What does that mean when you say the third part of the year? A. The start of September would be advisable.

Q. Will her eldest daughter have another child on this plane in this lifetime. A. Yes

For personal and over the phone readings contact Wendy @ 426-2127.

Previously, age restricted waters allowed only youths ages 16 and under, those 65 and older, and disabled anglers’ access.

This meant no other family member could fish, which discouraged family fishing.

Designed for Small Businesses Just Like Yours Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, home-based business or part of a larger firm, benefits are a very important part of your financial security.

The Chambers Plan creates a solid foundation for that security, based on a benefit program designed specifically for small-business owners, just like you.

Guaranteed Coverage: The Chambers Plan has no industry restrictions, and your plan can never be cancelled, as long as you pay your premiums.

Plus, the Chambers Plan offers guaranteed coverage amounts for businesses with three or more employees.

The Plan’s flexibility lets you design an employee benefit program for any budget. Your Chambers Plan allows you to choose the coverage you want - from Life and Disability, Health and Dental, to Business Overhead coverage and even Critical Illness Benefits - all at a price you can afford.

Let’s face it – shopping for employee benefits isn’t something you want to have to do every year.

With the Chambers Plan’s built-in rate stability, you won’t have to. That’s because with over 25,000 companies participating in the program, if one of your employees files a large claim, it’s spread over a large pool – so you’re guaranteed more stable rates from year to year.

Group plans allow companies to provide their staff with much needed benefits and the opportunity to save for their retirement. To the employee, this represents security for themselves and their families and the pride in working for a conscientious employer.

Together, we’ll find the right plan for your business. For a free quote please contact Cora Haddad Tschetters at Haddad Financial Services 250 426 4221.

Chamber Leverages Business Leaders’ Insights on B.C. Productivity

By Dave Struthers, President

Dave Struthers

How often have you heard the phrase that businesses today operate in a “highly competitive global marketplace?”

has been canvassing business leaders’ input into productivity challenges for companies and possible solutions.

We hear it so often, it no longer has much impact and we all go about taking care of our businesses without much thought about the impacts of globalization.

Throughout the fall of 2014, the BC Chamber hosted eight regional forums and gathered significant insights from over 200 company presidents and senior managers from across the province.

All the while globalization is “morphing” at an everincreasing rate and significantly altering the landscape in which we do business. The convergence of new technologies and more sophisticated distribution systems, the emergence of the developing world, and the reduction or elimination of trade barriers, among a number of other factors have forced BC businesses to adapt to a global marketplace that is in constant transition.

The vote, the definitive measure of democracy, is the ultimate power that the taxpayer has to voice displeasure, effect change, or ensure a satisfactory status quo continues.

Not having a vote, especially when you are paying a disproportionate share of the tab to run the community, is patently unfair and indefensible.

Why shouldn’t business

Non-resident residential tax payers are granted the right to vote in municipal elections. In fact, this right is granted on the basis that as property taxpayers in a municipality, they should be granted the right to vote.

which is bizarre. How does a court ruling in the deep south of the United States, in the 1960’s, to deal with unfair electoral boundary changes contributing to civil rights violations, have anything to do with being taxed in B.C., and not having a voice by way of a vote?

The challenge now is to find a colonial British costume for the Chamber president, a rowboat, and a sizable volume of organic tea that will not harm the water quality in Jim Smith Lake.

Conversely, the better plan would be to have Premier Clark leave another positive addition to her legacy before she departs office and restore democracy to all the taxpayers of British Columbia.

NEWS AUTOMOTION

What to look for in a teen’s first car Many parents contribute money toward the purchase of their teenagers’ first car. But even those who don’t help kids finance the purchase of their first vehicle may still want to offer some advice as their teens start to look for the car they will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives.

Different drivers need different things out of their vehicles, so a car that might be perfect for adults will not necessarily be the best fit for teen drivers without much experience traversing the nation’s roadways. The following are a few factors to consider when helping

teens find their first car.

Size Teenagers have little to no experience behind the wheel, so it’s best that they not drive cars that are especially small or large right away. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, young drivers between the ages of 16 and 17 are significantly overrepresented in fatal crashes.

The NHTSA suggests such drivers’ immaturity and inexperience plays a significant role in that overrepresentation.

So parents likely do not want their children in the smallest car possible, as such vehicles

may not protect teens as adequately as slightly larger vehicles in the case of an accident. In addition, very large cars, such as pickup trucks or SUVs, can be difficult to control and are best suited to older drivers who already have years of driving experience under their belts. A midsize sedan is big enough to protect teens and their passengers in the case of an accident, and such vehicles are small enough to handle easily.

Passenger capacity Another factor to consider when shopping for cars for teenagers is passenger capacity. The more seats there

E V A S

20

%

are in a car, the more friends teens can pack into their vehicles. Numerous teenagers in a car at once can prove distracting to the driver, and that distraction can pave the way for an auto accident. Steer clear of minivans, SUVs or other

vehicles that feature a third row of seats, as teens may be unable to stay focused on the road with so many passengers in tow.

Under the hood Few teens would not light up at the sight of a

muscle car awaiting them in the driveway.

But cars that accelerate quickly and those with substantial horsepower and high-performance engines may tempt teens to speed or spark the development of poor driving habits.

Look for a vehicle with modest acceleration instead of an imported sports car that teens may be too immature and inexperienced to handle.

Wear and tear Teens’ first cars are often preowned vehicles, and such cars may have significant wear and tear on some important safety features.

Wear and tear may not be a reason to avoid purchasing a preowned vehicle, but parents may want to replace the brake pads and tires on recently purchased preowned vehicles. Brake pads in strong condition may prove the difference between avoiding an accident or getting into one. In addition, poorly inflated or worn down tires pose a safety risk to teens and their passengers. If such features seem to be worn down, replace them before letting teens hit the open road on their own.

Teens will remember their first cars for the rest of their lives. Parents can ensure those memories are positive by finding a car that teens can handle comfortably and operate safely.

We put over 30 years of Experience

to work for your car. With state-of-the-art equipment, factory-certified parts and Licensed Technicians, we’ll get you back on the road quickly and safely.

We strive for that 10 out of 10 experience!

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Save worrying for a different day. You might be on the path to a mistake, but a sequence of events could unfold in your favor and save the day. A child or new friend seems to have a lot to share. The question remains: Can you relax and let go? Tonight: The world is your oyster.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be careful with your finances; otherwise, a mistake could occur.

Focus on your security, home and family matters. You could be surprised by the support that someone gives you. Try to understand what is happening with a situation at home. Tonight: Make hay while the sun shines.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to understand exactly what is motivating someone who suddenly has become a little too friendly. Understand what is needed to make you more comfortable with this person. For the moment, you might need to observe more and say less. Tonight: Hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Listen to forthcoming news that involves others in your life.

Understand that your finances will need to be handled with kid gloves. An associate might ask for a share of a project that doesn’t feel right to you. Listen to your instincts. Tonight: Easy does it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of what must be done in order to get where you want to go. A meeting might prove to be a stronger guideline and motivator than you even had considered. Honor a change of pace, and know when you have had enough. Tonight: Find your pals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be greeting a lot more opportunities than you originally had thought. If you feel overwhelmed by everything you are hearing, slow down. Understand what might be needed in order to feel more comfortable. Tonight: Wherever you are, you are a force to be dealt with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Friends surround and support

Tundra

you. You could have a lot on your mind, and you might need to do some research and deep thinking. A loved one seems likely to interfere with your train of thought. Close the door if you must. Tonight: On top of your game SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will want to see a situation differently from how you have up until now. You could be encouraged by a higher-up to revise your impressions, as you might be off-base. Be as gracious as possible, even if you happen to disagree. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Graciously accept an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone. Whether it’s a trip or a workshop, it does not matter.

Though you might not want to give up the time, you will benefit enormously from taking a mental break from the here and now.

Tonight: Off to hear some music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to hear news from a loved one or a special partner. Do not stand on cere-

mony; make a call to this person, rather than torture yourself. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening and might need to talk through your choices. Tonight: Dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) An offer comes through that simply will be too enticing to say “no” to. In fact, you might have two offers and have to make choice. Good luck will come through those who are closest to you. A big smile goes a long way.

Tonight: There is no excuse for being alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be a bit uptight about your choices. How you deal with a co-worker and explain a situation is very likely to color your day. Stay positive, and help this person stay positive too. You’ll have so much energy, so make sure you get some exercise. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am currently in a two-year relationship with “Alison.” Both of us are recently divorced. During Alison’s marriage, she became a confidante to “Will.” They have remained friends, and she insists nothing of a sexual nature ever happened.

When we first got together, Will was in a new relationship and had limited contact with Alison. However, eight months ago, that relationship ended. Now he and Alison text each other multiple times a day, all day long.

He lives with his parents, and Alison stops by a couple of times a month to visit with his family.

Will has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to be around me at all. Every time he gets into trouble, Alison is right there to help.

At least once every few weeks, he drives 15 miles to eat at the restaurant where she works.

I am not sure how to handle this friendship. I trust Alison, or I would have left already. Any advice, or am I foolish? -- N. Dear N.: There is nothing wrong with having friendships, even those that include confidences. The problem is when one person’s significant other is unwelcome and entirely excluded from these relationships and the confidences shared are intimate and interfere with the primary relationship.

We think Will is a bit possessive of Alison, but that shouldn’t alarm you. Does Alison show you his texts? She should (but you do not need to comment on them). If you trust her and she is not hiding anything from you, we’d let this run its course. It is important, however, that Alison understands the boundaries of this friendship so she isn’t leading Will on or damaging her relationship with you.

Dear Annie: I take both Pilates and yoga classes. One student loves to chew gum during class. It was ingrained in me by my father that loudly chewing gum is considered bad manners. It drives me crazy.

I find it hard to concentrate when she is popping and chomping away on her gum, and I know I’m not the only one in class who feels this way. Any suggestions on how to get her to stop? -- Cringing in Exercise Class Dear Cringing: People do a lot of boorish things during exercise classes. Perhaps the gum helps her concentrate or keeps her from having a dry mouth. She probably isn’t aware of how loud and annoying it is. Unfortunately, you cannot eliminate all behaviors that drive you crazy. You can, however, register a complaint with the instructor, move into a different class or ask the woman nicely whether she can make the gum chewing less noisy.

Dear Annie: I’m responding to “Outvoted,” who is caring for her abusive mother and arguing with her siblings about replacing the batteries in Mom’s pacemaker.

I, too, have been a caregiver for a person with dementia who became verbally abusive. Another option is to seek the assistance of a geriatric psychiatric professional. He or she can prescribe medication that will calm the abusive tendencies and allow the siblings to care for their mother in her home with much less stress. -- Been There Dear Been There: Putting Mom on medication that will calm her down could help. It’s quite possible that she should have been on some type of antidepressant for most of her life. After all, her abusive personality isn’t recent or due to dementia. She has always been this way, and the dementia simply makes it worse. Medication may not completely resolve the issue of replacing Mom’s pacemaker batteries, but it could make the siblings less stressed when working on these decisions.

OBITUARY

Darrel Elmore 1936-2015 On the morning of Saturday, February 21st, Darrel, aged 78, passed away peacefully at the F.W. Greenhome.

Born and raised in Langley, BC, he worked with his father Fred in their Whitewash business. At this time he also learned boxing from his dad, winning most of his 110 amateur fights, including the Canadian Golden Gloves. He was one match away from a bout with Mohammed Ali, then known as Cassius Clay.

In the 1950s Darrel moved to Smithers where he raised his family. He worked a variety of jobs as a boy's camp counsellor, a bouncer, many truck driving jobs, machine operator, coal miner, hunting guide and also had a farrier business.

Coaching his Outcasts Boxing Club, he taught many boys the art and discipline of boxing in the 1970s and 80s.

In 1988 Darrel & his wife Bonnie moved to Creston and eventually retired to Cranbrook in 1997.

Much loved & admired, Darrel was a wonderful person and a true friend, who touched the hearts of many.

He was predeceased by his brother Ron, his son Brown and his parents Emily and Fred. Survived by his wife Bonnie, brother Gordie, sister Sue, daughter Ree (Brent), son Bob, stepson Conan (Kathy), stepson Jason, grandchildren Jen (Ian), Erin, Brenna, Harleigh, Logan and many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Darrel's life is being planned in Smithers, BC at a future date.

His family would like to thank the F.W. Greenhome staff for their special, loving care and friends for their support and thoughtfulness.

Jason James Currie “Boss” 1989 – 2015 It is with extreme sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jason Currie in Cranbrook on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 25 years of age.

Jason was born on August 10, 1989 in Cranbrook. He was a happy young man who was full of kindness and unconditional love for everyone he crossed paths with. He touched so many people’s lives in a positive way. He had a great love of animals, his family and of wrestling. He got great pleasure from being outdoors and at one with nature with the Kip program where he was able to express himself freely.

Jason was employed for 13 years at the Townsman as a newspaper carrier. He received tremendous enjoyment from his duties as a newspaper carrier, and the people whom he met throughout the years while working for the newspaper. He loved going to hockey games with his older brother and going on the big truck with his mom. Jason loved music. He especially liked the song We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. Jason will be missed dearly, but his smile will be remembered forever by his family and friends.

Jason is survived by his mother Cathy, father Ken, brothers Shaun and Chayce, sisters Sheena and Chelsea, grandmothers Grace Currie and Denise Shingar, uncles Terry Shingar, Lloyd Umpherville, Mel Shingar, Harvey Shingar Jr., Barry Shingar, Jon Shingar, Steve Beamish and Jeff Popoff, aunts Cheryl Popoff, Susan Beamish, Karen Umpherville, Dayle Shingar, and Debbie Shingar, cousins Amanda Shingar, Dayna Shingar, Josh Shingar, Austin Shingar, Nicko Shingar, Natalie Umpherville, Kaitlyn Umpherville, Catherine Umpherville and Brady Shingar. He was predeceased by his grandpa Cecil Currie and his grandpa Harvey Shingar.

A Celebration Of Jason’s Life will be held this summer sometime near his birthday. Donations in memory of Jason can be made to East Kootenay Foundation For Health, Mental Health Programs, c/o East Kootenay Regional Hospital, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or the: East Kootenay S.P.C.A., PO Box 2, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4H6.

Ken and Cathy Currie and their family would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all of Jason’s doctors and nurses and first responders and to our family and friends who have come together to help us through this great loss.

Remember: NEVER leave words unsaid. Love and give love to everyone around you as you never know when it will be your last chance.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Forgiveness has the power to heal the world ANASTASIA BARTLET T

L

ent has started. Last Sunday we celebrated Cheesefare Sunday when we said goodbye to dairy and eggs until Pascha, and Forgiveness Sunday when we asked forgiveness from every person during Forgiveness Vespers so we can begin Lent with a clean slate. I learned a long time ago we all need to be forgiven.

As a young teen, I was required by my parents to babysit my two younger sisters. The compulsory service, my sisters’ refusals to obey and their taunts made me resentful. After much complaining and cajoling, I was given the power to punish, within limitations. The next time my youngest sister acted out and called me names, I responded with full

power and abuse of authority. I initially enjoyed my revenge but have since regretted both the action and the state of mind ever since. If I had forgiven my sister instead of resenting her, we might have a closer relationship to this day.

Forgiveness has the power to heal the world.

When my own children were growing up and a ‘conflict of interests’ occurred, I would insist the participants hug each other and say sorry.

Though this wasn’t true forgiveness, and I knew darn well plotting and thoughts of payback were still percolating in young minds, I had this vague belief that just saying the words and acting as if they were sorry even if only for a minute, would have some positive effect on

both their relationships and on their development. Seeds of forgiveness needed to be planted early and I was beginning to learn as my young children forgave me as well as each other.

Forgiveness is the very basis of the Christian Faith.

This is becomes more apparent to me as I grow within the Orthodox Church. Like everyone, over the years, I have taken offence. Whether it was given purposely or accidentally makes no difference. The hurt has become part of me and sits there attracting other ‘offences’ and preventing me from moving on. Any sympathy agreeing ‘I’m right to feel as I do’, suggestions of ‘righteous anger’ just feeds resentment, increases anger and puts up shields, to avoid future hurts.

Forgiveness is very hard to do.

I truly want to forgive others and be forgiven, but every time I feel the slightest bit of satisfaction at someone’s failure; whether a family member who could do no wrong or an abusive former boss, or I secretly resent someone for their success as though it is going to diminish my own, I know I have no forgiveness. Even reading tantalizing bits of celebrity gossip with a degree of satisfaction shows I have a long way to go.

I try to see Christ in everyone and knowing His forgiveness is fully available to me, I need to fully forgive everyone, believer or not.

“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it

to me.” Matt 25:45. When I forgive, I am forgiven.

During Orthodox Lent, our daily services include the Prayer of St. Ephraim; “O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.

But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou, unto ages of ages.

Amen.”

It is where I need to begin for true forgiveness to become part of me. Every time I think uncharitable thoughts about the driver who just cut me off in traffic, let me remember my own driving

rudeness. Next time I’m impatient with the person walking too slowly in front of me, let me remember the times I have held up others.

When I become exasperated with the tone of a conversation, let me remember the number of times I have offended others with my forceful opinions.

Chastity, humility, patience and love are my goals.

My signposts are joy in other’s successes, empathy with their failures, and listening carefully and without offence to what they say.

And so I begin; please forgive me.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week February 22 - 28 DAVE HUMPHREY Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1903 Better stay home … Dr. King, in writing from New York City, says that it seems strange to one who has lived for any length of time out in the woods to drop into a great city, and that for the first week it kept him broke giving quarters to policemen to pilot him over crossings. With reckless cab drivers rushing electric cars, and the man-killing automobile, a man is lucky to escape alive.

School barn? … When Cranbrook’s new school house is built, the government would confer a favor if it would provide some design that would make the buildings look less like a bunch of barns. Talk about a government architect! The school houses in this part of

the province will not compare with the average log cabin in point of architectural beauty. It is about time the government at Victoria awoke to the fact that civilized people live in the interior.

Pay up … Lent began yesterday. We trust some of The Herald readers will endeavor to make some sacrifice and pay what they owe on subscription. No man can be a consistent Christian and owe for his newspaper.

Schools closed … The public schools were closed yesterday owing to a case of scarlet fever that has developed. Inspector Wilson, who happened to be in town, considered this the safest course.

Down in the mouth … Cory Dow, the Wardner constable, was in town Tuesday to get a bad tooth pulled. The dentist found it impossible to extract it and Cory did not have the nerve to permit the boring process, and returned home cursing his luck, his teeth and everything contributing to the

pain he was suffering.

Electrifying! … James Ryan, of the Cranbrook hotel, adopted a novel and scientific scheme for thawing out his underground water pipes last week. He had Superintendent Ewert, of the Electric Light company, fix up a strong electric current, which was connected with the pipe. Inside of thirty minutes after connections were made the water was flowing freely. It is probably the first time the scheme was ever tried in British Columbia.

Head to toe … F. Godderies, the barber, has taken the room formerly occupied by W. B. McFarlane. Shaving, haircutting and baths.

1904 BE ON DECK ... There is to be an important meeting of the Board of Trade next Tuesday night at the I. O. O. F. Hall. If you have no interest in the town, don’t attend.

If you do not desire to see the town progress, don’t attend. If you don’t want to see the population increase, don’t attend. If you don’t want your property made more valuable, don’t attend. If you are working for someone else and don’t want to see better opportunities opened up in Cranbrook, don’t attend. If you don’t care to see a strong, energetic, influential organization, don’t attend. If you want to see the town stand still or go backward, don’t attend. In fact, if you are a clam, and have no interest in the welfare of your town or yourself, don’t care a continental what happens, you had better stay away. On the other hand, if you have a love for your town and for your own prosperity, if you have energy and snap in you; if you are not fossilized, be sure and be there and say a word for the cause. Remember the hour, and don’t say to yourself, “Oh I’m busy

tonight” or remain away to get a chance to make fifty cents or a dollar, when perhaps matters may be pending that may mean hundreds to you. Be a loyal citizen Tuesday night and attend the meeting, and in the meantime urge others to be present The only way ... Owing to the fact that no janitor had been secured for the schools Tuesday, on order of the board of directors, Mr. King, the principal, closed them for the day. The government only allows $20 a month for janitor work in four school rooms, and in consequence it is impossible to keep the rooms in a sanitary condition. It is a shame to pen up 30 to 60 children in a room that is not thoroughly cleaned each day, for it is in this way that much sickness is caused. Inspector Wilson promised a sufficient increase in the janitor fund but it has not been forthcoming, and the closing of the school may prove an emphatic reminder.

Brewery news … Fred Gillier, who is to be manager of the new brewery, returned from the coast yesterday accompanied by Mrs. Gillier. Mr. Gillier purchased a complete brewing outfit while at the coast, and also a modern ice machine. Work on the new brewery will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

Police force doubled … Constable S. H. Hoskins, of Fernie, has been appointed as assistant to Constable Morris, and will assume the duties of his new position the first of March. The growth of Cranbrook has rendered another officer necessary, although the town enjoys the reputation of being one of the most law abiding places of its size in British Columbia.

We trussed you … Ladies -When you call, ask to see our new Empire corset; straight front, dip

hip. It is special at 75 cents, Reid & Co. Ouch! … Mr. James Fowler, head sawyer for the Cranbrook Sash and Door Factory, met with an unfortunate accident last week. Mr. Fowler was driving a nail in a piece of frozen lumber when it sprang out and struck him in the eye. He was advised by Doctors King and Green to visit an eye specialist at Calgary. He left for that place last Saturday. The specialist has removed the eye and word has come that there is every hope a speedy recovery.

1905 Really! … H. H. Gilmour, of Vancouver, was in town several days this week. He and Peter Lund were about town a good deal on Monday and many people turned around to take a second look at the two giants. Their combined weight is in the neighborhood of 500 pounds.

Ownership change … Mr. Wood, of Wardner, has purchased from Mr. Spilsted the residence on Pooley Avenue known as Park house. Mr. Wood intends to bring his family here in a few days. The sale was made through Beale & Elwell.

Bucket parade … There was a fire at Vic Desaulnier’s Hotel in Moyie last Monday. The waterworks of the town are frozen and it was necessary to form a bucket brigade to the lake to save the place. The work was done well and the fire put out, before there was much of a loss.

SAY, PEOPLE … Have you seen the work of Crows Nest Steam Laundry? It’s certainly up-to-date.

Special rates for hotels and family work. Specialties flannels, blankets and curtains. White labor only. Perfect satisfaction given by Crows Nest Steam Laundry SLATER & McPHEE, Proprietors.
