MLAs hearing from constituents on ALR changes C AROLYN GR ANT

As most rural residents of RDEK Areas B and E are aware, there are public meetings this week to discuss an Agricultural Land Commission boundary review.

Some landowners have received letters stating that their land will be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, others have not.

Both MLAs in the affected areas, Norm Macdonald for Columbia River Revelstoke, where Area E changes are taking place, and Bill Bennett for Kootenay East, where Area B changes are happening, say they have been hearing from constituents who have concerns.

“I will have a staff

Bill Bennett Kootenay East member at the meeting in Wasa this week,” Macdonald said. “We want to make sure we fully understand all sides. We’ve heard people are unhappy and we will work with local government and individuals in understanding all the issues.”

Something like a boundary review is a process, Macdonald

Norm Macdonald Columbia River Revelstoke says, and there is time.

“This is where the system has to have integrity. People have to feel like they have been heard.”

Bennett is also hearing concerns, so much so that he has had a conversation with the Minister of Agriculture.

The Nixon and Browning World

Cranbrook architectural firm left a significant legacy in landmark buildings throughout the region BARRY COULTER

A man who left formidable architectural footprints all across the region has passed away.

Jerry Browning, long with his partner Kent Nixon, of Nixon and Browning, Architects and Community Planners, was responsible for more than 250 completed architectural projects in the Kootenays East and West and in Southern Alberta.

These include some of the significant landmark buildings in the region — certainly in Cranbrook.

Browning was 77.

In Nixon and Browning, Jerry Browning was in charge of design, business and public relations and site supervision. Kent Nixon was in charge of the drafting room and all working drawings. In what was a long and equitable partnership, Nixon’s careful control of the working drawings turned Jerry’s vision into reality. The structures they created

reflect and enhance the character of Kootenay cities and towns. A high percentage of residents pass through the doors of these buildings daily.

Arguably the foremost project among this architectural legacy is the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook.

Finished in the 1980s, the campus is a striking building overlooking Cranbrook at the edge of the Community Forest. Browning also designed the former Alberta Natural Gas Building in Gold Creek, a beautiful building which is now the College’s South Campus.

The first building Nixon and Browning worked on together was the Cranbrook Hospital, dedicated in 1967, and now the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Though many additions and renovations have taken place, the original design is still very much in evidence.

The path to restorative justice Arne Petryshen

From Nov. 15 to 22 it is Restorative Justice Week.

Restorative justice is a court-diversion program — rather than going to court, it can be used to attempt to re-

pair the harm that’s been done.

Doug McPhee, from the Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice Society, said there are some initial requirements before restorative justice is considered.

“The first is it has to be under the offences that we can cover under restorative justice,” McPhee said. “As far as the criminal system is concerned, we deal with things like mischief under $5,000, theft

under $5,000 and assault, as long as it’s not family assault — violence against women and children we don’t deal with.”

He explained it diverges from the court system.

“In the court system, in some cases, it takes a considerable amount of time determining guilt,” he said. “With restorative justice, the offender admits to what he or she has done. The next part is that they need to

Performing Arts Society invites you to a rock and roll evening Barry Coulter

A local organization dedicated to the furthering and promotion of the performing arts in Cranbrook is showing its appreciation to the sponsors who help it in its mission with an evening of fun and dance this upcoming Saturday, Nov. 21.

The Fisher Peak Performing Arts Society, who host such events as Summer Sounds Concert Series and Dancing in the Park, is holding

a Sponsor-Appreciation dance at the Cranbrook Golf Club, featuring local rock bands The Testers and Split Shift.

“This event gives us the opportunity to show our appreciation to our sponsors from over the last year, to recognize them publicly, and to give members and non-members an opportunity to meet them and to learn some of the aims and goals of the society,” said Dave Prinn, with FPPAS. The Fisher Peak Perform-

ing Arts Society was founded two years ago by a group of local performing artists. Its main goal is to promote the performing arts in the Cranbrook area — whether it be music, spoken word, dance or theatre — through exposure and through partnerships with like-minded groups.

Prinn mentioned the Key City Theatre, the City of Cranbrook, Columbia Basin Trust and numerous commercial organizations. FPPAS puts art-

ists and venues together, and helps ensure artists get the compensation they deserve.

Doors at the Cranbrook Golf Club open at 7 p.m., and local band Split Shift kicks off the music at 8 p.m., followed

by The Testers. Music goes to midnight. There will be a cash bar, and a late night snack presented around 10.

Tickets — $10 for members, $15 for non-members — are available at Lotus Books or on line at Snapd.com

be willing to repair the harm that they’ve done.

Lastly the victim has to be willing to participate.”

If they can get all that together, then they work through restorative justice.

There are also a lot of forms of restorative justice.

“There is the traditional community forum approach to those sort of things,” he said. “Another alternative is the peace making circle, used for settling disputes and that sort of business.”

The society has an agreement with Crown council.

“If they see something that, as it works it’s way through, is more aptly handled by restorative justice, they can refer to us as well,” he say.

McPhee has been working in restorative justice with the society since 2004. His wife has been working at it since 2002.

“There are other people in the community that have been at it longer than us in terms of providing service to Cranbrook in terms of restorative justice,” he said. “We’ve all seen a lot of very nice solutions that do speak to the whole business of repairing the harm.”

He said another part of the business is recidivism. That is how often someone who has committed a crime recommits a crime.

He said the recidivism rates for those who go through restorative justice are lower.

“So they learn something from going through restorative justice,” he said. “They are connected with their

victims and they see the impact of the poor choices that they’ve made, and it encourages them to not commit the same or similar offences in the future — which is what we all want.”

McPhee said another part of it is the stigmatization, as much of the time after going through the courts the person is labelled after they commit the crime.

“That encourages them to live a negative lifestyle, in my estimation,” he said. “Restorative justice encourages them to rebuild relationships between offender and their community of support and the victims in their community support. It removes all the labels and tries to bring people back to where they were before it happened.”

The Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice Society is a non-profit and depends on charitable donations to operate. He noted that the court system are tax payer funded and so societies like theirs lessen the burden on tax payers.

It has operated in Cranbrook as a society since October 2007, but has been around in other forms since 2000.

McPhee said he sees the advantages and benefits on a daily basis and that keeps him in it.

The society also supports the Highway of Tears showings coming up in the area later this month. The society is a partner in the Humanity Network, which is putting on the presentations of the documentary on Nov. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the College of the Rockies and Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. at the Stage Door.

Browning, Nixon’s architectural legacy Continued from page 1 Other significant buildings in Cranbrook are the Regional District of East Kootenay offices, Mountain View Senior’s Village, the East Kootenay Health Unit (now the Cranbrook Public Library), the Ambulance Service building by the library, the former WCB building (now houses Koocanusa Publications), and the former Bell Building at the corner of 8th Avenue and 1st Street.

Their work on personal residences was rare, but these include a beautiful house by Gyro Park in the Mid-Century Modern style, built in 1966 for George and Betty Haddad. Nixon and Browning built the BC Hydro buildings in Cranbrook, Kimberley and Revelstoke, and seniors’ complexes and drop-in centres around the region.

The firm not only designed the buildings but also frequently acted as general contractors. A lot of their work was for the local School Districts. In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a big demand for schools, and Nixon and Browning built new schools in Windermere, Golden, Invermere, Fernie, the Elk Valley, Canal Flats, Revelstoke and Castlegar. They build additions to or did significant renovations on schools in those cities as well as Radium, Nakusp and Elkford — 44 public schools all told, sometimes building them and then doing additions or renovations years later.

Browning’s architectural icon was Frank Lloyd Wright, and you can see the influence in his work through

strong, clean lines, the use of large fascia, careful use of windows as a design element, and pattern repetition.

Browning loved brickwork exteriors, and his use of interior colour was bold and joyous.

Browning was born in Covington, Kentucky, but grew up in Washington State, where his father worked on the Hanford Nuclear Reactor.

Attended Washington State University in Pullman, where he met Nixon, and from where he graduated with a rare double degree in Architecture and Structural Engineering.

Jerry Browning loved his craft, and he and Kent both loved the business. That love is still in the architectural legacy they left behind for us.

ALR changes under discussion this week Continued from page 1 “I spoke with the Agriculture Minister this past week about the concerns in the East Kootenay that land within the ALR is being arbitrarily removed without the land owner having any say,” Bennett said. “He is looking into

it. This is happening in my riding as well and I have heard from constituents who do not want their land taken out of the ALR. Of course there are also constituents who want land removed. It is not a simple issue. It all started, as I

have said for my 15 years as an MLA, with the NDP government in the 1970’s arbitrarily placing huge amounts of private land into the Reserve without doing the necessary ground work to determine what land actually deserved to be protected for agriculture. Lloyd Sharpe

was Chair of the RDEK when this happened. He was the first person to ever tell me the story of how arbitrary and unscientific the creation of the ALR was in the East Kootenay.

New apps aim to help revitalize Ktunaxa language For the Townsman

The Ktunaxa Nation is celebrating the release of a number of Ktunaxa language mobile apps aimed at building Ktunaxa language usage and proficiency in children and adults.

“The Ktunaxa Nation is one of the Indigenous speech communities leading the way in developing new resources for language learning in today’s world,” said app developer Dr. Christopher Horsethief.

“The Ktunaxa language is critically endangered with less than 30 fluent speakers left in Canada.

Research has shown that young children are able to develop lan-

Christopher Horsethief guage acquisition skills at an astonishing rate so it is vital that much of our revitalization efforts

are aimed at young Ktunaxa children. We also want to ensure that Ktunaxa adults have resources to learn and build language proficiency as well.”

“These apps have been developed with the support of the Ktunaxa Nation Council Traditional Knowledge and Language Sector and are available free of charge,” continued Horsethief.

The Ktunaxa language apps released include interactive story and coloring books, puzzles and keyboards for Apple devices and a keyboard for Android devices.

our hands today. Those with land inside the Reserve have gotten used to the tax break and unless they want to do something with their land (non conforming use or subdivision), they quite understandably want their land left inside. As I say, a mess created 40 years ago and difficult to unwind to everyone’s satisfaction.

But I have asked the minister to look at whether there is anything that the Commission could do to be more responsive to the people here.”

Macdonald says blaming today on the

POLL WEEK of the

NDP 40 years ago is a bit of a stretch.

As for the taxation issue, Bob Johnstone of the Meadowbrook Community Association says it really is something people should be considering.

Johnstone says he has been doing some research on the upcoming boundary review.

“I’m not sure people understand that school taxes will double if your property is pulled out of the ALR. There was a 50 per cent exemption granted when properties were put in and as soon as your property is pulled out, the exemp-

tion will no longer apply.”

Johnstone says that amount could be $600 or more per year.

“There are a lot of people on a fixed income and I hope they understand this,” he said.

He himself owns five acres in Meadowbrook and has received a letter saying his property will be coming out.

“I’ve got five acres and can’t subdivide.

People will have fewer restrictions, but where is the advantage of pulling a property out? It’s a pretty poor deal in my mind.”

Cranbrook Pest Control $500 to Starlite Submit ted

Supporting community health care programs throughout the East Kootenay is the focus of this year’s EKFH Starlite Campaign. The annual lighting of stars takes place on Nov. 27; however many longtime supporters of the foundation are dropping by with generous donations to ensure the stars light up.

One such supporter of the EKFH initiative is Cornelius Murphy of Cranbrook Pest Control.

“We are proud to support EKFH in many of their fundraising campaigns,” said Murphy.

“Our company makes an annual gift as our way of thanking the foundation for its efforts in raising much-needed funds for hospitals and health care facilities in the East Kootenay.”

A gift to the Starlite Campaign no matter how big or small makes a significant difference in the quality of health care available to those living in the East Kootenay. The stars take on different meanings for those who give… a grateful patient for services received, a cheerful holiday greeting, honouring a loved one and so much more.

Interested in making a donation – it very easy to give just drop by your local hospital or health care facility, drop by the EKFH office, donate on-line at www.ekfh.ca or simply send through the mail to EKFH, 13 24th Ave N, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3H9.

Investigators check out the scene after a late-night car chase Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, came to an end at the edge of Cranbrook.

Police apprehended an individual suspected of a car-jacking in the Creston area in that incidents. Shots were fired during the altercation.

Three years versus a matter of seconds

I

Brian Edmondson

have considered the recent outcome of the recent trial of Constable Rick Drought, a member of the Cranbrook Detachment of the R.C.M.P. First off, should peace officers be held to account to the public for their actions?

Absolutely, and without doubt, as should all persons whom work in the public service sector whether it be for example elected officials, emergency responders, health care and education professionals. All of these are entrusted to provide a professional service to their respective communities and fellow citizens.

Peace officers are expected to respond, to protect and preserve life, and to knowingly place themselves in harm’s way to do so. They are trained to do so — to take control and resolve a situation with minimal harm to all involved. They are expected to identify, manage, and mitigate risk.

This is expected to be performed under the stress of real time, often with minimal information, limited resources, without the benefit of hindsight.

I recall a photograph taken years ago in the United States at the scene of an active shooter incident. The photograph was a panicked mass of students running from a school, in the midst of which was a single peace officer rushing into the school. I believe it was taken at Columbine School in Colorado.

Are mistakes made? Yes, and when they are there must be an accounting not only to the peace officer but to the organization as well.

During my tenure as a Commissioned Officer and a senior member of the R.C.M.P. I was directed several times to conduct an independent officer review of serious incidents where police were involved that resulted in serious injury or the death of an individual. On each occasion I found myself working for several months over massive amounts of material, statements, evidence, facts, and reports submitted by experts. This weighed heavily upon me — more often than once I found myself sitting in the quiet privacy of my

home, undisturbed, labouring for hours at time. At the end I needed to be able to account to everyone — the public, those involved in the incident, the organization, other oversight agencies, and most of all myself. Yes, there were instances where I did not side with the peace officers’ actions, accounting or the organization’s policies.

In the instance of the incident involving Constable Drought: Was there a need to have the matter investigated? Absolutely.

Did the public have a right to expect this?

Absolutely. To be made aware of the facts?

Absolutely. Should Constable Drought have expected to be held to account for his actions, specifically the use of potentially deadly force? Absolutely.

This matter, from the day of the incident to the stay of proceeding (Bringing Constable Drought’s trial to an end) was some three years. It was investigated by the I.I.O. (Independent Investigations Office) and prosecuted by the Crown Counsel. Both of these agencies fall under the Ministry of Justice (Suzanne Anton - Attorney General and Minister of Justice for the Province of British Columbia, public service agencies).

Should the I.I.O., or some other agency, thoroughly and diligently investigate the matter? Should Crown Counsel thoroughly and diligently analyse the matter from a perspective of the actions of Constable Drought being lawful? In each instance the answer is absolutely.

Six days into the trial of Constable Drought (October 6 to October 13, 2015) Crown Counsel, while still presenting their case, entered a stay of proceeding. The Defence never did have to present their case, or make a closing submission. The judge was never tasked to make a decision of judgement.

The reason for the entering of the stay, as reported in the media, was for “inconsistencies in the evidence” given by the complainant (the person whom was shot

by Constable Drought) and new evidence emerged about the location of the shooting that affected the analyses of the shooting (I take this to mean the analyses of the

scene and the physical evidence of the scene).

With respect to inconsistencies in the evidence of the complainant: How many times was he interviewed by I.I.O. Investigators and by Crown Counsel prior to giving evidence? Were not his statements and account of the incident weighed against the totality of the statements of other persons, physical evidence by both the I.I.O. and the Crown Counsel?

With respect to the new evidence pertaining to analyses of the shooting: Where did this, so to speak, 11th hour evidence come from? How was this not uncovered in what would have one would expect to be a thorough, professional, analytical investigation? Certainly would not the previous analyses have raised questions?

Constable Drought has been held to account. I was not there on the evening of the incident. I do not know whether he should or should not have discharged his service pistol and shot this individual. I, thankfully, was retired and not in a position to once again be faced with that heavy responsibility.

It would certainly appear from the stay of proceeding that Constable Drought’s decision that evening some three years ago, made under stress with limited information and limited time was the correct one — at least from a point of law of being able to prove the contrary.

The Independent Investigations Office and the Crown Counsel are as peace officers servants of the public. My question now is who is holding them (specifically the people who made the decisions) to account for their investigations, decisions and actions. After all they did have three years to get it right, while Constable Drought had a matter of seconds to get it right.

Of course there are going to be people who disagree with me, I respect that.

Green shift returns, goes global

We

will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Lib-

erals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to BC VIEWS the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Tom Obama acknowledged were Fletcher exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases.

He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris.

We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.

The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas.

Legien hopes to turn milestone into stepping stone

Former first-round pick Jared Legien confident after scoring first goal; looking for more as Ice host Everett Silvertips Tuesday Taylor Rocc a

When a player is selected in the first round of the Western Hockey League’s annual bantam draft, there are always high expectations.

Drafted ninth overall at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, there’s no exception for Jared Legien.

“He probably started with really high expectations on himself and all that other stuff with being a high pick [in the bantam draft],” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Monday afternoon. “[He had] a disappointing year last year and all those things -- it’s a lot of pressure to put on a young man.

“I think he’s kind of put that behind him now and is focused on what he can do to get better. We’ve started to see some signs of growth in his game. Simple hard work is what’s helped him.”

After 33 games, the native of Pilot Butte, Sask., tallied the first goal of his WHL career -- the product of hard work -Saturday night against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

For Legien, it was a long-awaited marker

after first hearing his name called at the 2013 bantam draft and suiting up for his first-career WHL regular-season game as a 16-year-old last season.

“It felt good. I’ve been waiting for it for a while,” Legien said Tuesday. “It was nice to get one. Too bad we couldn’t get a win with it.

“It was nice to be able to contribute and give our team a chance to win, but it just didn’t really work out.”

Though the celebration of an individual achievement was dampened by his team’s 6-3

loss to the Tigers, the hope is the milestone will serve as a stepping stone for the former Moose Jaw General as he strives to help fill the offensive void created with the news that right wing Jaedon Descheneau has been lost for the season due to shoulder surgery.

“I’m just trying to make the simple plays -- puck up ice always and try not to go back as much,” Legien said.

“Last year, I think I tried to make things too difficult for myself. This year, I’m doing a better job at just simplifying.

Forward Jared Legien, pictured during pre-season action against the Lethbridge Hurricanes, tallied the first goal of his WHL career Saturday in Medicine Hat. bigger and faster than you expect. Everyone is better. There’s no huge gaps between great players and average players -- everyone is pretty equal. The speed and physicality of the league is definitely one of the things you don’t really expect.”

In 13 games with the

Ice last season, Legien posted one assist.

This season, the Saskatchewan product has been a mainstay in the Ice lineup, registering one goal and two points in 20 games.

“For him and anyone else in our lineup, the big issue is don’t try to play other than who you

are and what you do well,” Pierce said. “I think sometimes guys want to fill roles of guys that we’re missing, like Luke [Philp], Jaedon [Descheneau] and Zak [Zborosky]. “[Jared] can’t change anything. He’s just got to continue to keep the game simple and smart.

That goes for everyone of our guys and the opportunities will be there.”

Legien and the Ice get back to action Tuesday when they welcome the Everett Silvertips to Cranbrook.

Ice lose Descheneau for duration of season Taylor Rocc a

The Kootenay Ice are officially without the services of right wing Jaedon Descheneau for the duration of the 201516 WHL season.

Monday afternoon Ice head coach Luke Pierce confirmed that Descheneau, 20, will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery at the end of November to repair damage sustained in an incidental colli-

sion back on Oct. 6 in Prince Albert.

Descheneau, a native of Edmonton, only skated in two games with the Ice this season, registering one assist, before being knocked out of action with the shoulder injury.

A fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Descheneau has yet to sign an NHL entry-level con-

tract.

In 265 career WHL games, all with the Kootenay Ice, the 5-foot-9, 192-pound speedster tallied 111 goals and 272 points.

His best season came in 2013-14. Skating alongside all-time franchise scoring leader Sam Reinhart, Descheneau put up 44 goals and 98 points in 70 games.

Descheneau was placed on the long-term

injury list following the incident and therefore was not counting against the overage limit for the Ice. Captain Luke Philp, defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky and goaltender Wyatt Hoflin represent the three overage players on the Ice roster.

Defenceman Tyler King remains on the longterm injury list after undergoing off-season knee surgery.

Marchi lights fuse in Nitros weekend wins Taylor Rocc a

With key veterans banged up over the the weekend, alternate captain and 20-year-old weapon Jared Marchi got the job done for the Kimberley Dynamiters, helping fuel his club to a pair of wins in KIJHL action.

Friday, Marchi scored twice to light the fuse -including the game-winning goal midway

through the third period -- as the Nitros doubled up the Kamloops Storm by a margin of 4-2 in a rematch of last season’s KIJHL championship.

“We played a full 60 minutes [Friday],” Marchi said. “We didn’t let up at all.”

The 5-foot-11 forward showed a penchant for late theatrics, scoring his first goal Friday with

only 9.1 seconds remaining on the clock in the second period.

Sunday, the Nitros travelled to Canal Flats to face the Columbia Valley Rockies and it was the Kimberley native striking in the last possible moment of regulation -- 0.1 seconds remaining on the clock, to be precise -- to give his team a 6-5 victory in an

all-important divisional game.

Playing three games in three nights, the Dynamiters weren’t able to come up with a threepack of wins as their Eddie Mountain Division rivals from Creston split that effort down the middle by claiming a 5-2 victory Saturday.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A partner will put his or her energy into planning a get-together. Be happy, as it could be an event in your honor! A conversation with this person will be quite poignant and meaningful.

You might see a dimension of him or her that often is hidden.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could put someone off with your attitude. Don’t be surprised if you get attitude back. A reaction like this is likely, considering where you are coming from. A discussion might be much better and more helpful in resolving the issue at hand. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You often see what others don’t.

You also have the ability to read between the lines in conversations. Though you might be challenged on what you observe, the information you gather will prove to be very helpful.

Keep your eye on the big picture.

Tonight: Try something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be in the position of juggling a key relationship too much for your own comfort.

If this is the case, stop. Have a discussion with the other party in order to keep the lines of communication open. You’ll be happier as a result. Tonight: Let someone else choose.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others might have a lot of energy invested in having a particular conversation on their terms.

You have nothing to lose by letting this talk happen. These people offer you a lot, especially their friendship. Express yourself as clearly as possible. Tonight: Do some exploring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Plug your efficiency and your imagination into your work. You will benefit enormously from adding a new dimension to your days. Giving 110 percent can only add to the quality of your life. Right now, you are unusually lucky; use it well. Tonight: Do your own thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of the cost of living

Tundra

with such high intensity. You will feel so much better if you relax more and become a bit more aware of your actions and their ramifications. Reach out to others, because they clearly enjoy your company. Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your strong will can override almost any problems you are likely to encounter. However, when uproar starts on the homefront, you’ll need to resolve it quickly, for your sake. You can’t handle too much tension in this area of your life. Try to relax. Tonight: Head home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be a little more rigid than usual, but a conversation with a friend will help loosen you up. You have a tendency to internalize any tension or stress. Try to break that pattern through exercise or any other stressbuster you might be interested in. Tonight: Hang out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You often walk a conservative path where your finances are concerned; however, a situation

could develop that forces you to loosen the purse strings. You might be uncomfortable with what is happening, so be more careful in the future. Tonight: Someone treats you to dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) How you deal with others will be important, especially with someone at a distance who could be argumentative and difficult. Opportunities become available through a dear loved one. Let this person know how much he or she is appreciated.

Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time when making a decision. You might not be ready to discuss any aspects of the matter just yet. A partner could demonstrate his or her devotion in a big way, as he or she enjoys giving more of him- or herself.

One-on-one relating will be effective. Tonight: Be direct.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: While my mother was still alive, she gave a substantial amount of money to my oldest son, “Rick.”

Everyone but Mother knew she was supporting his drug habit (which he has since overcome). When she died, her will gave equal amounts of money to both of my sons. My younger son, “Chris,” was hurt by his grandmother’s lopsided generosity to his brother, and it may be part of the reason my adult sons aren’t close today.

Rick’s father, my first husband, will be leaving him his entire estate, so he will be financially set. My current husband and I recently completed our will, leaving most of our assets to Chris.

Based upon what my mother did, I’m concerned that Rick will be hurt if he finds out that his stepfather and I didn’t leave him an equal share. But I don’t believe my husband is obligated to leave the same amount to his stepson as he does to his biological son. What do you think? -- Trying to Avoid Hurt Feelings Dear Trying: Did your husband help raise Rick? Can your assets be separated from your husband’s so that his entire estate goes to Chris, but yours is split in half? Would Rick be understanding if you discussed these issues in advance? Unequal bequests create problems because it appears that the parent loved one child more than the other. If you explain your reasoning, it’s possible your sons will understand and not be surprised and hurt later.

Dear Annie: My oldest brother, “Richard,” is fading from this world. I live 3,000 miles away and flew home to see him and say my goodbyes. Richard and I have always been close and have loved each other dearly. Now he is in a locked mental hospital and I don’t know why.

Richard can have visitors only on weekends at certain times. The drive to the hospital is nearly three hours.

My sister and I were allowed to go to his room for 20 minutes, but not by ourselves. His wife and two children were present the entire time. It was as if we had watchdogs sitting there making sure we had little contact. The next day, we were told at the desk that his wife said we are not permitted to see him. I think the wife’s behavior is despicable.

We went to see the facility director and my sister called the caseworker and explained the situation. He agreed that this was patient abuse. The doctor was called, and he said we could see our brother.

Richard was in such good spirits and we laughed, hugged and kissed and told each other how much we loved each other. The purpose of this letter to let everyone know that even though you may have a spiteful sister-in-law or other family member, the law says no one can arbitrarily keep you from seeing your sibling.

God answered my prayers and my soul is at rest. -- Loving Sister Dear Sister: We are glad you were able to have a good visit with your brother, but sometimes there are restrictions on visitors for a reason. It is always a good idea to phone first and check.

Vehicles stolen during test drives Dozens of charges against four Calgarians C anadian Press

CALGARY - Four people from Calgary are facing dozens of charges after pickup trucks, SUVs and a Bentley luxury car were stolen during test drives arranged through online classified ads.

Police say they recovered nine cars and trucks worth more than $300,000 in a three-month investigation.

They say people using an online site to privately sell their vehicles were contacted by a suspect claiming to be a potential buyer and wanting a test drive.

A meeting was arranged and the suspect drove away when the owners momentarily stepped out of their vehicles.

Police say one owner was seriously hurt when he tried to stop a theft in September, but has since recovered.

Investigators believe the suspects were stealing the vehicles for personal use and it does not appear there is a connection to organized crime.

Alexandre Alfred Beck-Quenneville, 23, faces 46 charges that include numerous counts of theft and possession of stolen property.

Kirk Leslie Nazeil, 28, faces 10 charges that include hit and run causing injury.

Christina Louise Ramchuk, 26, faces six charges and Lacey Victoria Cecile Tiedemann faces

Signs have turkeys crossing road instead of landing on windshields in Castlegar Canadian Press

CASTLEGAR, B.C. Wild turkeys in Castlegar, B.C., now have a way to cross the road and get to the other side.

A flock of about 30 turkeys has been causing traffic troubles in the West Kootenay town for about a year and a half, said Coun. Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff.

“Basically, people were driving and slamming on their brakes because two, three, four times a day, they cross the road, I guess to go feed or to do whatever turkeys do,” she said.

The poultry crossings caused some minor fender-benders, slowed traffic and even damaged vehicles.

“I had people con-

tact me and say they had seen a turkey fly and crack somebody’s windshield. You know, they’re big birds, right?

And if you just hit them a certain way, they could fly up and do that,” Heaton-Sherstobitoff said.

When the birds became a safety issue, city council came up with two bright yellow signs

Protect our earth.

The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin promote recycling.

We use vegetable-based inks, and our newsprint, tin and aluminum waste is recycled.

Avenue about two weeks ago and so far, they seem to be working.

“People told me last week that the turkeys are actually crossing right below the signs,” Heaton-Sherstobitoff said. “So the big joke now is that turkeys in Castlegar know how to read, so that’s where they’re crossing.”

Security landscapes in Canada, France differ, security experts say Jim Bronskill Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The level of jihadist militancy simmering in France and other parts of western Europe simply doesn’t exist in Canada, making the sort of attack that devastated Paris less likely, security experts say.

In France and Belgium there are tens of thousands of people who, while not terrorists, sympathize with the ideology espoused by radical elements like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, said Phil Gurski, a former Canadian Security Intelligence Service analyst who specializes in counter-radicalization efforts.

“We don’t have that here - not to the best of our knowledge,” Gurski said in an interview.

“I think we have to acknowledge that there are some significant differences.”

Last year Michael Zehaf Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, an honour guard at the National War Memorial, before rushing into Parliament’s Centre Block.

Zehaf Bibeau was quickly gunned down.

Two days earlier, Martin Couture-Rouleau had fatally rammed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent with a car in StJean-sur-Richelieu, Que. After a chase, police shot and killed the knife-wielding assailant.

While Canada has been hit by jihadi-inspired lone-wolf attacks, there has been nothing like the co-ordinated assaults on multiple targets in Paris that claimed 129 lives and injured hundreds of others, said

Jez Littlewood of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa.

“That’s not something we’ve seen Canadian terrorists actually being able to carry out.”

Canada is pursuing a significantly smaller proportion of counter-terrorism investigations than some European nations, and a relatively low number of Canadians - between 45 and 60 - have headed to Iraq and Syria as foreign fighters, experts say.

At the same time, Canada has generally been perceived as less of a target of interest than some allies for jihadi-motivated extremists.

“Things are better here. I can’t imagine a scenario where Canada gets like that,” Gurski

said. “I really can’t. And I’m not sure I know why, but whatever it is we’re doing here, we’re doing it right for the most part.”

Littlewood points to a more civil political discourse in Canada that has avoided “openly hostile” messages to immigrants and refugees of the kind spouted by the far right in France.

“No western democracy is perfect in this realm - I don’t think any of us would say that,” Littlewood said.

But he quickly adds that Canada “seems to be faring better” than France in terms of ensuring a sense of identity and belonging for newcomers.

Gurski spent almost 13 years at CSIS before moving to Public Safety Canada and now works as a private threat and risk consultant. He has been openly critical of the previous Conservative government’s harsh tone toward the Muslim

community - something he believes strained delicate bonds of trust.

He applauds as a welcome shift the Liberal government’s promise to create an office of community outreach and counter-radicalization.

“This is your early intervention,” he said.

“You can work with communities, you can work with local law enforcement.”

In addition, it is much less intimidating and expensive than a CSIS or police investigation.

Security experts say that despite such efforts no one can promise all violent plots will be averted.

“You’re going to have attacks periodically, you’re going to have arrests periodically,” Gurski said. “This is what life is in 2015 and unfortunately it’s going to be this way for the next couple decades.”

VICTORIA - British Columbia’s all-party finance committee is calling for adequate funding to support education.

It released a budget consultation report Friday with 63 recommendations and says education is a top concern among British Columbians.

The committee recommends the Finance Ministry provide stable and adequate funding to school districts in order

to provide quality education.

Committee chairman and Liberal Scott Hamilton says the committee held public hearings in eight communities during the fall and received 572 submissions, one third of them related to education.

The committee also recommends the government restore full funding to adult basic education and English as a second language programs.
