The Village of Canal Flats is about to transition into a new era this week as the Canfor sawmill will officially close on Monday.

The mill site, which has been in operation in one form or another since the 1960s, had a shift reduction in May that cut over 80 jobs, before a permanent closure was announced in September.

Canal Flats mayor Ute Juras says it’s been a tough time for the mill employees and the community after a monthly meeting of Regional District of East Kootenay directors on Friday.

“We had our last day yesterday—most of the guys were finished yesterday, I believe we still have a few guys working today,” Juras said.

“Monday is the official closing date of the mill and that’ll be it.

“There’s a sombre tone in the Village right now, we’re very sad and it’s the end of an era for us, but we are

moving forward, we do have a working group now moving on, which is a close group, but we’re moving forward and we’re looking at other opportunities.”

“There’s a sombre tone in the Village right now, we’re very sad and it’s the end of an era for us, but we are moving forward...”

Ute Juras Canal Flats Mayor There was a sense in the Village that the mill was struggling, but Juras said the way it closed so suddenly is what caught everyone off guard. She noted that they thought they had more time to get a strategy together to diversify the local economy.

Intoxicated man calls for ride, ends up in cell Kimberley RCMP make drug bust ARNE PETRYSHEN

Cranbrook RCMP responded to 110 calls from Monday, Nov. 2, to Sunday Nov. 8.

Staff Sgt. Hector Lee provided the details. Lee said the lower count correlates to the weather, and the cooler weather usually means less calls and less crime in general.

“Once the weather gets better again, we’re going to be up around the 200 mark,” Lee said.

“Usually winter time,

pretty much everywhere, things start to slow a little bit. It’s even too cold for criminals I guess.”

This week’s calls included two Immediate Roadside Prohibitions, one impound for excessive speed in city limits, four mental health calls, four disturbances involving alcohol, one road rage incident and a number of accidents due to the inclement weather over the week.

Three of the mental

health calls resulted in police apprehending the individual and bringing them to the hospital for further assessment.

On the morning of Nov. 2, a complainant

called police saying they were following a woman who was staggering and walking into traffic. Police located the woman and lodged her in a cell until she was sober and could take care of herself.

Also on Nov. 2, police received a call from a man asking for a ride.

When an officer arrived, the man was determined to be quite intoxicated and was lodged in a cell until sober.

On Nov. 5 at 12:25

a.m. an officer on patrol issued a Immediate Roadside prohibition and a 90 day vehicle impoundment.

On Nov. 7 at 8:46 a.m. two vehicles were taunting each other down the highway. One was reportedly tailgating, while the other was pumping the brakes to scare the tailgater. The two drivers ended up stopping near the 7/11 on the strip.

A 45 year old male was arrested for drug trafficking after a warrant was executed on Rotary Drive in Kimberley on Nov 5. The Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction unit had been conducting an investigation on the subject for several months.

They were able to obtain sufficient evidence for a search warrant

which they executed the evening of Nov 5. Once inside police located cocaine, MDMA, Magic Mushrooms, cash and evidence to support the charge of trafficking.

The subject was released for court in Jan 2016 on a number of conditions. Police are recommending charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.

Lest we forget: Air gunner reflects on serving in WWII Lee Brown reminisces on his service in the Second World War in Europe as a tail gunner on Lancaster bombers

Tre vor Cr awley

Though 70 years have passed since the end of the Second World War, the memories of that global conflict still remain with Canadian veterans who served.

Lee Brown, a Cranbrook resident who entered the military when he was underage six months shy of his 18th birthday, trained and served as an air gunner on a Lancaster bomber.

Brown enlisted in 1943 and was shipped over to Europe early the following year, where he was part of a crew that did bombing missions on Nazi targets mainly in Germany and up the coast of Finland.

Brown flew 33 trips in the Lancaster with two different crews before coming back home to Canada when the war ended in 1945.

For Brown, Remembrance Day is a time to honour the sacrifices of veterans who served and to reflect on the tragedy of war. Even though the war was decades ago, some things are unforgettable.

“It wakes me up. I’ve been dreaming about things that happened all this last week,” said Brown. “I’m not trying to tell anybody what they should do—that your poppy and my poppy makes people think of what happened and what could’ve happened if the boys hadn’t have gone over.”

Life of an air gunner Brown’s military service consisted mostly as an air gunner on bombers, flying mainly in a Lancaster aircraft, doing trips into Germany and up and down the Finnish coast from 1944 until the end of the war.

Stationed in Lincolnshire, on the east coast of England, Brown was part of a crew that served together until one fateful day.

Brown was coming back from a trip, but developed a headache after his ears wouldn’t clear from the air pressure of descending to the ground level high altitude.

He went to see a doctor and was promptly grounded for three days.

“They called a spare gunner to take my place and I’m sitting there feeling sorry for myself and my ears, and they went out and got shot down,” Brown said.

“They crashed in France, they weren’t all killed, but three of them were.”

The same night his crew was shot down, another plane came back to base that was missing a tail gunner who was killed in an aerial dogfight.

Being that crews were tight-knit group that stuck together, Brown talked with the group and volunteered to take the gunner’s place, subject to approval from a commanding officer.

At the time, Brown had two more bombing trips to his record than his new crew, so they did a few more without him to catch up.

Some of his missions included flying up the coast of Finland to bomb German naval ships, while other targets included military manufacturing plants in the Ruhr Valley in Germany. Another trip was an attack on the entire German naval fleet that was anchored in Kiel harbour.

“They sent four or five hundred of us in there. It was no trouble at all getting there,” Brown said. “…We came in over the water, we stayed off the shoreline quite a bit, and they heard us coming. We were in the first wave and all those destroyers had huge search lights on them, plus the ones on the shore.

“The guns they had—we’d never saw a sky like that in our life. It was just like the 4th of July magnified.”

However, the crew was able to deliver their payload and return home unscathed.

Military tradition Military service was not unfamiliar to Brown as his father served in the First World War in the British Army. After the war, he came over to Canada and settled in small community of Big Valley, AB, where the Lee Brown was born

He returned home for a few months before getting a call from the air forces recruiters, who promised to pay for transport back up to Edmonton to officially enlist.

Even though he wasn’t technically 18 years old, he had permission from his parents to serve and—depending on how long it would take until his birthday—the government had the discretion to accept him or turn him away.

But this time, despite being a few months shy of his birthday, Brown was accepted.

and raised.

He got his first taste for aviation when he was around 12 years old, after a barnstorm— commonly called a flying circus—came through town, offering rides for $3 on a small homemade plane.

“So I scrounged three dollars from my mom, my sister and my dad and I went down with my friend and he took the two of us in the plane,” Brown said.

“You could take two adults or three kids, but we had a ball.”

When the Second World War broke out in September 1939, some

of his childhood friends enlisted in the various branches of the Canadian military. However, Brown couldn’t join them because he wasn’t old enough.

By the time 1943 came around, he was just under a year away from the minimum enlistment age of 18 years old, but went up to Edmonton go try and slip through the screening process.

When it came to choosing which branch to serve in, Brown went to all the recruiting offices—Army, Navy and Air Force—to get a feel for what he wanted.

“I went to the Army recruiting office and visited with them. I didn’t take medicals or anything, just wanted to look around,” Brown said. “I didn’t like what I saw or the way they talked. I went to the Navy but I don’t like water; I’m a poor swimmer, so I went with the air forces.”

Brown passed all medical and written exams, but when it came time to swear the oath to serve King and country, he didn’t produce a birth certificate, and so, without a way for the recruiters to verify his age, they turned him back.

From the Prairies to England From Edmonton, Brown headed east to the Quebec and the Maritimes to familiarize himself with few different types of aircraft, but it wasn’t until he got to Britain that his training began in earnest.

From Canada, Brown shipped over to Britain in a trip that normally would take just under a week, but ended up lasting 12 days as his vessel had to zig-zag over the Atlantic to avoid German U-boats.

He was posted with 626 Squadron, One Group, which was under the command British military leaders under the Royal Air Force and began training with Wellington and Halifax bombers before ending up with the ‘Lancs’.

Liverpool was the first stop, where he saw sunken British ships in the river—the first time he had seen the destructive power of bomber aircraft.

While stationed up in Bournemouth in south England, he had his first encounter with a German aircraft while strolling through a park on a pathway near his hotel and mess hall.

“I was just looking, and I heard a plane and I turned around and here’s a fighter plane—it was a Junkers 88, I recognized it—so I just stood there with my mouth open and he came down and started strafing,” Brown said.

“I think he knew very well that there were

some of us standing on the path, but he strafed the ground, turned around, same thing out again. We just stood there looking at him, and that was our first encounter with a German plane.

“I think he wasn’t going to shoot us standing there. He could’ve.”

The war ends By the time the German military forces surrendered in May 1945, Brown had exactly 33 bombing runs in his service.

When a crew member hit 30 trips—one tour—they were rotated out to serve as instructors for incoming recruits.

“That’s what we are all prepared for. Tell them what to do, what to expect, because now we had the experience,” Brown said.

However, 30 trips came and went for Brown, and the crew completed three additional runs before the authorities caught on.

By that time, the war was essentially over, and Brown was shipped back to North America, landing in New York, but had to stay on the ship for two days because there was nowhere to stay in the Big Apple.

Upon getting back to Calgary, he volunteered to serve in the Far East— the war against Japan didn’t end until August 1945—but then that front soon surrendered to Allied forces.

Even though he put himself forward, the air gunner position was being phased out anyway with the advancement of new aircraft and technologies anyway, Brown added.

After his graduation in early in 1944 as a flight sergeant, he ended his military service at the rank of flying officer, which he received five days after his discharge in 1945.

He returned to Alberta to see his parents, who were living in Medicine Hat and got a job working for CPR. He eventually took a transfer to Cranbrook and retired in 1986.

Mill shuts down Continued from page 1 “We’d already been planning on that because it had been looming over our heads. The shock about it is that we thought we had a few more years to plan, so now we just have to speed up the process a little bit,” Juras said.

“Most of the people who were left there after the last layoff were people that had been there for 30-plus years, so that’s a long time to be with one company.”

Wendy Booth, the director for Area F for the RDEK up the Columbia Valley, said she participated in a workshop where a group of 30 economic development officers and practitioners looked at Canal Flats as a case study, as part of a threeday course.

“The facilitator did a SWOT analysis, identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the Village from this group of people who

are not from the valley, which made it very objective,” Booth said.

“Our job, being from the valley, was not to contribute to that conversation, rather listen and take in.”

A report summing up the conclusions of that workshop is currently in the works and it will be up to the Canal Flats mayor and council to implement any recommendations, she added.

Booth added that while the closing of the mill wasn’t necessarily a surprise, there has been a lot of support for the Village in terms of charting a path forward.

“I know that since the announcement was made six weeks ago, that the ministry and Canal Flats and the Columbia Basin Trust has all been working together with a transition plan and looking at next steps moving forward, so there has been a lot of support for Canal Flats out there.”

Bisset Singers serenade Cranbrook crowd For the Townsman

The Bisset Singers performed in Cranbrook on Saturday, Nov. 7, featuring professional soprano, Savannah Bisset.

The audience — especially the young girls in attendance — were enthralled with Ms. Bisset’s performance.

Bisset explained why

she travelled to Cranbrook immediately following a performance with New York Lyric Opera Theatre in Manhattan.

“As a child I grew up in the Kootenays, hearing opera and classical music as both my parents were voice teachers,” she said. “I was 11 years old when I attend-

ed that year’s music festival that my love of music and performing began.”

“I know my father, Chuck Bisset, has a passion to teach a new generation of good singers and I share his desire,” Savannah said. “He has a wide range of ages in his choir with more than half the soprano section

being the same age as me when I started.”

Chuck Bisset said he’s energized by the nine to seventy-five year old age span in his choir.

“What is so encouraging is the parents’ dedication that enables the children to practice and perform as full choir members,” he said.

“It’s almost like they’re a family team.”

In 2015 the Bisset singers performed in Invermere, Cranbrook, Kaslo, Trail and Yakima Washington bringing the unique Bisset sound to their presentations.

Early next year the choir will travel to Nelson and Rossland.

RCMP responded to 110 calls this week Continued from page 1 “They got into a verbal altercation to start, which resulted in a physical altercation where one was sprayed with dog repellent,” Lee said. “The woman sprayed the man with dog repellent.”

Dog repellent is similar to pepper spray. Police were called and the two parties settled down. No charges were laid. Lee said while dog repellent is not illegal to have, when used in a public place like that, it

could be considered possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.

“It came down to impatience and both of these people goading each other on the road,” Lee said. “The two parties engaged with each other when they should have just went their separate ways.”

Nov. 7 at 7:45 p.m., a vehicle was clocked going in excess of 100

km/h on Victoria Avenue, which is a 50 km/h road. The driver was issued a violation ticket and the vehicle — a newer Ford pickup truck — was impounded.

Nov. 9 at 12:20 a.m. police issued another IRP and 90 day impound.

Lee noted that there havr also been a lot of reports of fraud attempts, namely that the complainant received a

call from a person claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. Lee said if you receive the call, just hang up. He suggested calling the anti-fraud centre if you want to report it. In the case that you have lost money, call the Cranbrook RCMP to report it.

Lee also wanted to remind everyone that the snow is coming, so don’t forget to change over to winter tires on your vehicle, especially if you will be travelling the highways.

“Make sure you have snow rated tires, and are a bit more careful when you’re driving,” Lee said.

Lee said the officers on highway patrol do check at times to make sure that the required snow rated tires are installed on vehicles driven on the highways that require them.

“Especially this part of the country it’s always a good idea to have winter tires anyways,” he said.

Province announces influenza vaccine now available Bl ack Press

This year’s influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main flu season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 influenza are already showing up. That strain affects mainly older people, while influenza B is expected to show up

by February and spread among children.

The vaccine is is free for children between six months and five years, seniors aged 65 and

older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups.

About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from influenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said influenza causes more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses combined.

This year’s vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65

per cent protection against various strains of influenza B. “The annual flu vaccine is still the best tool we have to protect against getting the flu,” said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C. “Combined with regular hand washing, you are also protecting those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious flu complications.”

To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online influenza clinic finder at www.immunizebc.ca/ clinics/flu.

“

When people say they’re never going to use the (nuclear) deterrent,” said General Sir Nicholas Houghton, “I say you use the deterrent every second of every minute of every day. The purpose of the deterrent is you don’t have to use it because you effectively deter.”

As Britain’s most senior serving military officer, Houghton went on the BBC last weekend to denounce the leader of the opposition, Labour’s new leader Jeremy Corbyn. Why? Because Corbyn had said he would never press the nuclear button in the (rather remote) contingency that he becomes prime minister after the 2020 election.

Indeed, Corbyn has said that he would like to get rid of Britain’s nuclear weapons entirely. “There are five declared nuclear weapon states in the world,” he told the BBC a month ago. “Three others have nuclear weapons. That is eight countries out of 192; one hundred and eighty-seven countries do not feel the need to have nuclear weapons to protect their security. Why should those five need them to protect their security?”

Now, there are a few errors and omissions in that statement. 192 minus eight is 184. The five “declared” countries – the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China – were already nuclear weapons powers before the Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed in 1968, and their bombs were “grandfathered” by the treaty. They promised to get rid of them eventually, but half a century later “eventually” has still not arrived.

The four (not three) other nuclear weapons countries, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, never signed the NPT because they all had powerful enemies. Just like the original five, they were all thinking in terms

of sheer survival when they developed their first nuclear weapons.

Brazil and Argentina frightened each other into a race to develop nuclear weapons under the ultra-nationalist military regimes of the 1970s and 1980s, but they didn’t really pose a threat to each other and the programmes were ditched by civilian governments in the 1990s. Both countries signed the NPT just before the century ended.

Gwynne Dyer After the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, the former Soviet republics of Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan all wound up with ex-Soviet nuclear weapons on their soil. But they had no real enemies, so they all agreed to destroy them or give them back to Russia, the legal successor to the Soviet Union.

And South Africa developed nuclear weapons in the dying days of apartheid, fearing that Cuban and Russian military help to the “front-line states” of Africa might grow into an all-out military assault on the white-ruled state. After white minority rule ended peacefully in 1994, the new government led by Nelson Mandela quietly dismantled the six South African bombs.

Nobody developed nuclear weapons just to feel more powerful: they were all driven by fear of attack. And when that fear vanished, as it did for some countries, they promptly got out of the nuclear weapons business again. Logically, both Britain and France should now belong the latter group.

They both built their bombs just after the Second World War because they feared an overwhelmingly powerful conventional conventional attack on Western Europe by the Soviet Union, and didn’t trust the United States to use its own nuclear weapons to save them.

After the Soviet Union fell, they faced no threat that was even remotely comparable.

They still don’t today. Yet they cling to their irrelevant nuclear weapons, presumably because they think that is what guarantees them a seat at the high table.

Maybe it does, but it is a very expensive way to keep a seat of such dubious value.

The military forces that Britain actually uses from time to time are being hollowed out to maintain this ludicrous deterrent (which depends on missiles leased from the United States).

It wouldn’t transform the world if Britain got rid of its nukes, but it would be a down-payment on what all the declared nuclear powers said they would do when they signed the NPT. French nuclear disarmament would also be a good idea.

Like people who live on the slopes of a volcano that hasn’t erupted in seventy years, we have mostly forgotten the appalling danger that still looms over us. The Cold War ended thirty years ago but the weapons are still there, waiting for some fool or madman to pull the trigger.

I know what you’re thinking: Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, and now it has a real enemy in Russia. So tell me: would you feel safer if Ukraine had nuclear weapons too? Would Ukrainians?

No. The stakes would be a hundred times higher, and we would have been living in a terrifying nightmare for the past two years.

Nitros edge Ghostriders in Eddie Mountain clash Kimberley Dynamiters extend winning streak to 13; return home to host Castelgar Rebels Tuesday at Civic Centre

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With a 4-3 road victory over the Fernie Ghostriders, the Kimberley Dynamiters extended their season-high winning streak to 13 games Friday night.

In a lot of ways, this run from the KIJHL-leading Dynamiters (16-1-0-2) is beginning to resemble a story once told by 1980s rock band, Journey.

The streak -- 13 games -- goes on and on and on.

“They can be proud of everything they’ve done so far -- extremely proud,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Monday. “That’s a tough thing to do -- win that many games in a row in a league that’s this competitive.

Sure, Journey’s wellknown hit might be an epic love story.

True, there might not be any small town girl living in a lonely world in the Dynamiters version of this adventure. Or even a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit.

But without doubt, there is a team working hard to get their fill.

While seven of the 13 victories have come in the friendly confines of the Kimberley Civic Centre, the Nitros have had their work cut out for them on six other oc-

casions, taking the midnight train going anywhere -- well, not exactly anywhere -- collecting wins in Revelstoke, Golden (three times), Invermere and the infamous Fernie Memorial Arena.

The most recent of those triumphs came in that exact barn.

Friday night in Fernie marked the first meeting of the season between the Dynamiters and Ghostriders -- a renewal of a heated Eddie Mountain Division rivalry -anticipated by all.

Everybody wants a thrill when these two teams clash and Friday night did not disappoint.

“Two good hockey teams and luckily we came out ahead,” Bancks said.

“I liked our defensive play. I thought the backend played extremely well and Tyson was Tyson.”

Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer, 20, made 29 saves to backstop his club Friday night, earning his league-leading 12th victory of the season.

Rookie forward Korbyn Chabot opened the scoring in the first period before Riders defenceman Evan Reid knotted the contest at 1-1 with 1:56 remaining on the clock.

Just when it looked as though the two teams were headed to the dressing room deadlocked after 20 minutes, veteran forward Sawyer Hunt beat Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser with only 18 seconds to go, restoring the onegoal lead for the visitors.

“He challenged himself by trying the Junior ‘A’ thing, which I give him credit for,” Bancks said of Hunt. “That’s a positive. A lot of guys get comfortable and they

After being returned to the Dynamiters from the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Hunt has recently been given the opportunity to skate alongside centre Keenan Haase and winger Eric Buckley within the team’s top-six and it’s paid off for Bancks as the 18-year-old Hunt is riding a seven-game point

streak (5G, 4A).

The Ghostriders clawed even early in the second period, with Tayler Sincennes beating Brouwer. But once again, the Nitros struck late as defenceman Justin Meier tallied with 2:29 to go in the period to restore the one-goal advantage yet again.

Midway through the third period, Buckley provided all the insurance necessary as he

registered a power-play goal to put the Dynamiters ahead for good.

Ghostriders defenceman Ryan Teslak scored with 41 seconds on the clock to pull the home team within one, but it’s as close as they could manage.

Orser made 25 stops in a losing effort for Fernie (10-7-0-2).

The Nitros went without captain Jason Richter for the second consecu-

tive game Friday night and he isn’t expected to be available when the team hosts the Castlegar Rebels Tuesday at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

While Richter missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury, forward Brodie Buhler returned from the hospital wing to make his Dynamiters debut Friday in Fernie.

Winning weekend for Avalanche as volleyball returns to COTR Men sweep Bearcats in back-to-back outings, while Lady Avs win in electrifying five-set fashion Saturday

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

For the first time in 2015-16, PACWEST volleyball returned to College of the Rockies in electrifying fashion this past weekend as the Avalanche hosted the Columbia Bible College Bearcats.

On the men’s side of the equation, the Avalanche rolled to a pair of straight sets victories over the Bearcats, using home court energy provided by a packed gymnasium to their advantage both Friday and Saturday.

In the Avs first appearance of the season on home court Friday night, they cruised to a 3-0 win over the Bearcats (25-18, 25-22, 25-15).

“We had a little bit of a lull in the second set and didn’t play with the same urgency as was needed,” said John Swanson, head coach of the Avalanche volleyball program. “However, [we] still managed to play

well enough to win.”

Having swept the Bearcats Friday night, Swanson’s crew knew to expect a strong response from the visitors in the encore Saturday and they got just that.

After the Avalanche built a healthy lead in the opening set, the Bearcats clawed back to make it interesting and put pressure on the hosts.

Despite faltering midway through the first set, the Avs remained calm and collected en route to a second-consecutive straight sets victory (2523, 25-19, 25-16).

“CBC came out with more spirit and challenged us,” Swanson said. “Thankfully, the guys didn’t panic and despite giving up a fairly healthy lead early in the set, we composed ourselves.

“It was a very successful home stand for the guys.”

With the pair of victories, the Avalanche

evened their season record (3-3) and pushed their way up the PACWEST standings into fifth place.

While the men cruised to straight-sets wins both days, the Lady Avs were entrenched in tightly-contested five-set affairs with the Bearcats.

Friday night, the two ladies squads battled back and forth as the Avalanche fell in a nail-biter (25-15, 22-25, 20-25, 25-18, 13-15).

“We had opportunities to close out the match,” Swanson said.

“But as in previous situations, we just weren’t able to get that much-needed defining or finishing point.”

The opening set of the night saw the Lady Avs roar ahead as the Bearcats missed nine consecutive serves early.

After settling in, the Bearcats serving found consistency and the visitors utilized heavy hitting from the outside to pound away at the hosts.

If Friday’s contest proved to be the battle that set the stage for the weekend’s ultimate war.

Saturday afternoon, intent on not allowing another opportunity to slide by, the Lady Avs endured an incredible fifth and deciding set to top the Bearcats (23-25, 2519, 25-20, 26-28, 22-20).

No set came easily for either the Lady Avs or Bearcats.

With a 2-1 lead and the opportunity to close out the afternoon, the

Lady Avs slipped and allowed the Bearcats to rally in the fourth to force a deciding fifth set.

The entire weekend could’ve been summed up in that fifth set, as the two squads went point for point, back and forth with incredible rallies, strong blocks and breath-taking moments.

With 42 points on the board between the two clubs, the Lady Avs finally put the Bearcats away by a 22-20 final.

“I was extremely proud of the ladies for continuing to believe in themselves and knowing they could overcome previous disappointments and frustrations,” Swanson said. “The entire team needs to be commended on their play through the two matches.”

Saturday’s win was the first of the season for the Lady Avs -- and it came with a serious exclamation point.

The victory allowed the Lady Avs to keep pace with the Bearcats in the PACWEST. Following the weekend split, the Bearcats remain in sixth (2-6) with the Lady Avs hot on their heels (1-5) and looking to climb in the balanced and competitive PACWEST. Both Avalanche squads will take this week off before returning to action on home court Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21, when the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades visit

Dynamiters edge Ghostriders Continued from page 8 “Brodie played with a lot of spirit and a lot of energy,” Bancks said.

“He finished every check. You can tell his timing was off -- it will take him a little bit to get the offensive part of his game going, but you definitely knew he was out there every shift.

“Real good energy on the bench. He’s a welcome addition.”

Tuesday, the Dynamiters return to home ice where they will roll the dice one more time in hopes of extending the winning streak further, welcoming the Castlegar Rebels to Kimberley from the nearby Neil Murdoch Division.

The Rebels (13-6-10) sit second in the Neil

Murdoch, only two points behind the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (14-4-1-0).

“The old cliche -- we have to play our game, do what we do well and respect how well they’re doing,” Bancks said.

“They’ve gotten off to a good start.

“They finish their checks and they’re pretty aggressive on the penalty kill.”

When the final buzzer sounds Tuesday night at the Civic Centre, some will win and some will lose. Some were born to the sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends.

Handcrafted Treasures & Tasty Treats

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll get an earful early on.

What you are hearing could be good information, but it also might be somewhat overwhelming. Consider allowing the person with the ideas to carry the banner on this issue.

Use your instincts! Tonight: Go along with a family member’s suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be stubborn and want to have your way. However, someone else is determined to run the show. Go off and enjoy those in your life, or get into a different project. Allow this person to have his or her way -- and the extra work! Tonight: Agree to established plans.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) All work and no play isn’t healthy, but today you might not have a choice. Stick to your vision when making a decision about a key project. Will it deliver the results you desire? If not, is this idea worth pursuing? Only you can decide. Tonight: Know

when to relax and let go.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your energy seems to soar. You’ll need it to dive into your work, an artistic project or something that allows you to create and manifest. Otherwise, the frustration you experience could backfire and cause a problem.

Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone you care about might be pressuring you. Most likely, this person wants you to do something that you have no interest in doing. You have been saying “no” in your own way, but this person is refusing to listen.

Decide the best way to handle this situation. Tonight: Out late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t complain about people not appreciating your ideas if you are not sharing them. Start being more open about what you desire. Once you start opening up, you’ll get feedback that is likely to encourage you. You might try being authentic more often. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You could be exhausted by everything that is occurring.

However, you can deflect any negativity or energy that feels off. Use caution with your finances. You might be drawn to a situation and feel compelled to handle it. Tonight: Take care of yourself first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your natural style encourages agreement where there otherwise would be uproar. Stay on top of a situation that is a high priority. Only you can create what you really want here.

Someone else can try, but he or she won’t be as successful.

Tonight: Go along with the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to slow down before you take a leap of faith.

Consider the pros and cons of your decisions. Adrenaline runs high as you consider a new path.

You are likely to head in that direction sooner rather than later.

Tonight: Share exciting news with a trusted pal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Once others get that you aren’t

going to change your direction, they will want to join you. You can’t blame them for wanting to have their ideas acknowledged, though. Your determination is clear. Sharing your vision will be important. Tonight: Hang out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be willing to take a stand and let others decide whether to join you. You know that what you are doing has financial implications.

You might wonder what others think. Be OK with any feedback or criticism you get. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Investigate other ways of viewing a problem or situation. You recognize how unique each person’s vision is. Much of what we see and say emerges from our backgrounds. Do your best to detach and take in the whole picture. You might be surprised!

Tonight: Share with a loved one.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I have been together for 10 years and married for two. I still work full time, but my wife took early retirement last spring and now she spends weeks at a time visiting different members of her family.

When she is gone, she rarely answers her phone. I’ve noticed that when she’s away, I sleep and eat more, rarely socialize and don’t get things done that I should. I believe I’m depressed without her. Sometimes I pretend that I have no partner and don’t care that she’s away. I get through those weeks much better that way.

I believe it would be easier if she called me daily or at least answered my calls, so I don’t feel cut off and alone.

She doesn’t understand this. She says phone calls interfere with her visits.

Annie, wouldn’t any normal person understand calling her spouse to touch base once a day?

Is it right for couples to be apart so much? I really want this marriage to work, but it seems rather one-sided. -Lonely and Depressed in the Midwest.

Dear Lonely: Most couples check in once a day or at least every other day when they are apart. The fact that your wife doesn’t want to do this for weeks at a time worries us. We know some readers will question whether she is even visiting relatives or doing something altogether different, but we think your wife considers time away from you to be her vacation, and she is reluctant to be reminded otherwise.

When she next returns home, you can ask her about this. You can consider counseling together. But we also recommend that you stay active while she’s away. Find something to do that will keep your mind busy so you are less depressed and lonely. Take up a hobby.

Work on a project around the house. Go to the gym -- exercise is good for raising endorphins and making you feel better.

Dear Annie: I have three adult granddaughters, and I have been sending them $50 for each of their birthdays and at Christmas. They never thank me, but I know they have cashed the checks. I also send gifts for my great-grandchildren with no acknowledgement.

I am struggling with whether to continue this tradition. I never get a Christmas card or birthday card from them. Also, I had breast cancer and a double mastectomy a few years ago and they never ask how I’m doing.

I feel bad if I don’t send them a gift, but don’t you think this relationship should work both ways? -- Disappointed in Them

Dear Disappointed: Many grandchildren think gifts and cards only flow one way. You have to tell them. But all gifts should be acknowledged in some form, and if your grandchildren don’t do this, it’s time to stop. When they ask why they didn’t get a Christmas gift from Nana this year, simply say you never hear back from them, so you assume they don’t particularly like your presents. That should take care of it.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Missing-women groups urge caution before inquiry Geordon Omand Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Canada’s new government should tread carefully to lay the proper groundwork for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, says a coalition of First Nations and advocacy organizations.

The group wants pre-inquiry consultation with the families of missing and murdered women and related community groups and have them included in establishing the inquiry’s terms of reference and its process for selecting commissioners.

It also wants the government to pay legal costs for family members who wish to be involved.

“We firmly believe that indigenous women’s leadership is critical,” said Fay Blaney, co-chairwoman of the Women’s Memorial March Committee.

“We need indigenous women to be central to the substance and the process of this

inquiry. This is about our lives and our safety,” she told a news conference Monday.

As the Liberal leader, Justin Trudeau campaigned on a promise to launch a long-sought inquiry into Canada’s almost 1,200 missing and murdered indigenous women.

The coalition, which consists of more than two dozen groups and individuals, said British Columbia’s own missing-women inquiry, which wrapped up in 2012, failed on several counts.

They say the inquiry led by former B.C. Appeal Court judge Wally Oppal should serve as a cautionary tale.

The coalition came together after various organizations were shut out of that inquiry looking into the actions of police and serial killer Robert Pickton after the DNA of 33 women were found on his pig farm.

Members have continued to meet to pursue justice for murdered and missing

women.

Kendra Milne, a spokeswoman for the Vancouver-based women’s legal advocacy organization West Coast LEAF, denounced the scope of B.C.’s probe as too narrow.

She said the inquiry focused only on the criminal aspect of violence after it had already occurred instead of looking at how to prevent it in the first place.

The investigation also neglected to consult the missing women’s families and fell short of implementing many of the final report’s 56 recommendations, she said.

“Take lessons from B.C.’s failures,” Milne advised the new Trudeau government.

“Take great care not to repeat these mistakes.”

Key on the list of failures is the still-outstanding recommendation to introduce a shuttle-bus service along the so-called Highway of Tears, a northern B.C. stretch of

Pellan artwork returns to government lobby Mel anie Marquis Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Visitors to Canada’s foreign affairs headquarters in Ottawa will no longer see a large portrait of Queen Elizabeth when they enter the building.

Instead, two paintings by Quebec artist Alfred Pellan are back on display in the Lester B. Pearson building, four years after the Conservatives removed them to make room for the Queen.

The works, which had hung above the front desk since Queen Elizabeth officially opened the building in 1973, had been taken down in 2011 at the request of former foreign affairs minister John Baird, just prior to the visit of Prince William and his wife, Kate.

The removal of the colourful Pellan paintings ruffled the feathers of some who work at the building, which has long housed the federal foreign affairs department - newly re-christened by the Liberals as Global Affairs Canada.

But the paintings

Alfred Pellan were brought back Sunday as part of a push by the Trudeau government to showcase Canadiana, Global Affairs spokesman John Babcock said Monday in an email.

“The re-installation of the pair of historic paintings by Quebec modern master artist Alfred Pellan ... represents our continued interest in representing the best of Canada at every opportunity,” Babcock wrote.

“Global Affairs Canada is committed to showcasing Canada, our art and our culture in all of our facilities, whether at home here in Canada or abroad in our embassies, high commissions and consulates.”

Baird had also instructed embassies and missions abroad to display portraits of the Queen in 2011. Those portraits are expected to remain in place, said Babcock.

“We have not provided any recent direction to missions regarding the picture portraits of Her Majesty the Queen at missions.”

The Pellan paintings were originally commissioned for the first Canadian mission in Brazil, which opened in 1944.

The removal of the masterpieces in 2011 was panned at the time by everyone from art aficionados to anti-monarchists to Quebec politicians.

In a statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion said it was “entirely appropriate that we take every opportunity to showcase the best of Canadian culture in all of our government installations.”

The removal of the Queen’s portrait should not be interpreted as a lack of respect for the monarchy, Dion added.

road known for the disappearances of mostly indigenous women.

B.C.’s Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said consultation with communities along the route revealed that the bus plan was impractical. But the Opposition NDP said recently released documents contradict Stone and highlight concerns from local officials who support a transportation option.

Revelations from the province’s privacy commissioner that government officials allegedly

destroyed documents for a freedom-of-information request about the Highway of Tears have also strained relations with First Nations, said group member Lorelei Wilson.

“The coalition is absolutely appalled,” she said, referring to deleted emails.

A whistleblower revealed that his Transportation Ministry supervisor instructed him to delete emails that were flagged as relevant to the request.

“How could this happen?” Wilson said.

“During the inquiry there were missing files.

Now there are deleted emails.”

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, rejected what he described as the provincial government’s “arrogant attitude” and its suggestion that the proposal of a shuttle-bus service doesn’t deserve further attention.

“It’s one of the most disgraceful abuses of human rights of the indigenous peoples of this country and we need to get this right,”

he said of a federal inquiry.

“It would appear after a long dark night that the sun has indeed risen in the East.”

The Conservative government long opposed the plan for an inquiry, saying there had been enough studies and that it was now time for action.

Following the party’s defeat in last month’s election, newly chosen interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose announced the Tories would support an inquiry.

Federal health minister speaks with Ontario minister on health accord C anadian Press

OTTAWA - Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins spoke to his new federal counterpart on Monday to discuss shared priorities, including creating a new health accord and tackling the Syrian refugee crisis.

Hoskins says Ontario is looking forward to establishing a new accord with the federal government that “puts the health care of Canadians at the forefront.”

“I think all of us, at the political level, have sort of been yearn-

ing for that national leadership,” Hoskins said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “We’ve done our best as provinces and territories to fill that void, but I certainly believe that we’ve got a partner now that we can work effectively with.”

The new federal minister of health, Jane Philpott, is setting the wheels in motion on the accord this week by reaching out to the provinces and territories.

The move comes after the former Conservative government

Thursday Afternoon/Evening

allowed a 10-year, $41-billion health accord established in 2004 under former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin to expire.

Manitoba’s health minister said Monday she is also hopeful about the Liberal government’s commitment to establish a new arrangement.

Sharon Blady says a strong federal partner was “seriously lacking” with the previous Conservative government, which allowed the previous health agreement to expire.

New environment minister won’t set GHG target, calls Tory target ‘the floor’ Bruce Cheadle Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Canada’s national target set by the Conservatives for cutting greenhouse gas emissions should be considered a floor for future action, federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said Monday.

The new Liberal government has so far refused to set a carbon reduction target in advance of the COP21 international climate conference that begins at the end of the month, citing the need to consult with the provinces before putting in place a credible national plan.

But with environmental groups loudly complaining that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will take Stephen Harper’s climate plan to the world, McKenna moved Monday to put some parameters around Canada’s position.

McKenna is in Paris attending ministerial meetings in advance of COP21, where the international community

A division of

hopes to set in place a post-2020 framework for global action on climate change.

The Conservatives announced in May that Canada’s contribution to this year’s Paris talks would be a 30 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by the year 2030.

Canada, however, is currently not on track to meet its existing 2020 cuts under the 2009 Copenhagen accord, and the Harper government did not provide any policies to meet the more ambitious 2030 goal.

“Yes, that will be the floor, but certainly we want to try to do better,” McKenna said in a conference call after repeatedly skirting the question of targets.

The key, she said, is “to figure out what you can actually do. You can have a target, but you have to be able to meet the target and you have to take concrete actions toward those targets.”

Canadian governments - Liberal and Conservative alike -

have previously agreed to international carbon cuts, but failed to implement the policies needed to make those cuts a reality. The Conservatives famously failed to regulate the oil and gas sector despite promising to do so for the better part of a decade.

“That is why it is so important to sit down with the provinces and territories and look at how we can all do our part,” said McKenna.

“Much of this is in the jurisdiction of the provinces.”

Provincial premiers have been invited to join Trudeau in Paris at the begining of December, but it remains unclear what specifically Canada brings to COP21.

McKenna, an international trade lawyer who worked with the United Nations in negotiating a peace agreement in East Timor, said she’s had bilateral meetings with France’s foreign and environment ministers and Mexico’s environment minister and plans to meet with

her U.S. counterpart before returning to Canada on Wednesday.

She’s joining climate negotiations that have been years in the making, with several major sticking points still remaining on the eve of the full conference.

These include climate finance, mitigation and adaptation funding for developing countries, and getting more countries to the table in Paris.

McKenna specifically mentioned Canada’s leadership in la Francophonie, the international club of French-speaking countries that Canada helps heavily subsidize, and the Commonwealth.

“In some ways it’s a good time to come in” to the negotiations, she said. “This is what I’ve been told by my colleagues, because we bring new energy.”

But energy, goodwill and a readiness to negotiate with Canada’s provinces will only go so far, environmental groups said Monday.

Federal-provincial

dialogue after a decade of division is a good thing, said Stephen Guilbault of Equiterre, but he reminded the Liberals that at some point they’ll have to make some tough decisions.

Citing Saskatchewan’s premier, Guilbault questioned whether “Brad Wall is going to have an epiph-

any and say, ‘Oh yeah, let’s go ahead, I’m full in.’ No, we have to be realistic about that. We won’t get everybody on board.”

McKenna, for instance, was unable to say how the Liberal promise of tougher environmental assessments might apply to existing pipeline applications already under

review.

She said she’ll travel to Alberta next week to meet her counterpart in Rachel Notley’s NDP provincial government.

“We will have a great difficulty in getting our resources to market if we can’t show that we are taking credible action to tackle climate change,” said McKenna.
