Kootenay Ice captain Luke Philp dealt to Red Deer

Ice acquire forward Presten Kopeck, defenceman Ryan Pouliot, prospect Tanner Sidaway & picks in exchange for long-time leader Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice captain Luke Philp is on the move.

The 20-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., has been dealt to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for 20-year-old forward Presten Kopeck, 17-yearold defenceman Ryan Pouliot, the rights to 16-year-old forward Tanner Sidaway, along with a second- and thirdround pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

“I can’t say enough good things about Luke Philp, both on and off the ice,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice. “He’s left a lasting impression and hopefully some of the younger players have learned from that what it takes to be successful.

“He’s a leader, both on and off the ice, and has been through his tenure with our organization. He is a warrior.

He has played through a lot. He’s played in the shadows behind Sam Reinhart for a number of years.

“It’s always tough when you have to move any player, let alone probably one of the top10 players to ever play for our organization.”

The deal was announced Sunday, one week in advance of the WHL trade deadline.

Philp leaves the Kootenay Ice tied for sixth

among franchise leaders in assists (140) and points (235), and ninth in career leaders in goals (95) over 247 games.

“I kind of knew I was on the trade block, but I didn’t really know where I was going, so I was really excited [to hear it was Red Deer],” Philp said over the phone Sunday afternoon.

“The Kootenay Ice is a top-class organization.

I have nothing but good things to say about it, from the management -- Jeff [Chynoweth] -- to the coaching staff over my last four years here and to the training staff as well.

“I’m going to miss everyone. I’m going to miss the players, especially. I’ve made some lifelong friends over these past four years, so it’s tough to say goodbye. But at the same time, in my position, I get a chance to go play for a Memorial Cup, so I’m really excited.”

The Ice selected the 5-foot-10, 174-pound pivot with the 59th-overall pick (third round) at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft.

From there, Philp did nothing but endear himself to coaches, management, teammates and fans in Cranbrook, being recognized as the team’s most valuable player in 2015. In both 2013-14 and 2014-15, Philp was also recognized with the Ice Players’ Award, as voted upon by Kootenay

Ice players.

During 2014-15, he set a career high with 82 points in 71 games to lead the team in scoring.

To this point in the 2015-16 WHL campaign, Philp has registered 13 goals and 29 points through 22 games, as he has battled injury for the first time in his major junior career.

Philp missed a pair of games in mid-November as he dealt with an upper-body injury suffered Nov. 13 in a 6-0 loss at Calgary. Upon returning, he suited up in two games before sustaining an ankle injury Nov. 21 in a 2-1 home win over Swift Current.

The shifty centre underwent surgery to repair the damage and has yet to suit up since. “[Philp] is walking and the cast is off, the walking boot is off,” Chynoweth said. “He had a follow-up appointment Dec. 30 and everything went well. If everything continues to go the way it has so far, he should play the weekend of Jan. 22.”

It has been a busy week for Rebels head coach and general manager Brent Sutter as he loads up for a Memorial Cup run.

The wheeling and deal began last Sunday, Dec. 27, when the Rebels acquired Boston Bruins first-round pick Jake DeBrusk from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for forward

NEW NON-FICTION

2016 – 2020 Five Year Financial Plan Special Meeting A special meeting of Council is scheduled for budget discussions, as it pertains to the City of Cranbrook 2016 – 2020 Five Year Financial Plan.

The meeting will be held on Saturday, January 16, 2016 beginning at 9:00am in Council Chambers at City Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Lane Pederson, a firstround pick (2017) and a third-round pick (2016).

The following day, Red Deer acquired the rights to forward Taden Rattie, the brother of St. Louis Blues prospect Ty Rattie, from the Portland Winterhawks in exchange for a fourthround pick (2016).

On New Year’s Day, Sutter made another big splash as he went out and snared 20-year-old forward Adam Helewka from the Spokane Chiefs, shipping off captain Wyatt Johnson, prospect Eli Zummack, a second-round pick (2016) and a fifth-round pick (2017).

Only two days after bringing in Helewka, Sutter added the former Ice captain, Philp.

“Everyone’s goal playing junior hockey, I know it’s been mine, is you want to win a championship and you want to get to the Memorial Cup,” Philp said. “I think going to Red Deer, they’ve just made some big trades and the team’s looking really good. I’m very excited.”

While Philp heads to Red Deer to compete for the Memorial Cup -- the Rebels host the 2016 edition of the Canadian Hockey League’s annual championship -- the Ice welcome Kopeck and Pouliot to the fold, while also adding future assets to aid in retooling a club that has battled to a 6-31-3-0 record through 40 games this season.

“The draft picks were very important, first and foremost,” Chynoweth said of the pieces coming his way. “This now gives us eight draft picks

in the first five rounds [of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft].

“That gives us an opportunity to restock the cupboards.”

Kopeck, a native of Medicine Hat, was an alternate captain with the Rebels this season, posting five goals and 18 points in 34 games.

The 6-foot, 170pound centre was originally selected right after Philp at the 2010 bantam draft, tabbed by the Portland Winterhawks with the 60th-overall pick (third round).

The Winterhawks dealt Kopeck to the Rebels on Dec. 10, 2013. In 221 games split between Portland and Red Deer, Kopeck has amassed 46 goals and 115 points.

Pouliot, a native of North Vancouver, is in his first WHL season, having skated in 14 games with the Rebels.

He was originally an 11th-round pick (228th overall) of the Saskatoon Blades at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

“Pouliot is a defenceman our scouting staff really liked,” Chynoweth said. “He gives us four in that [1998] age group.

With the uncertainty on [1999-born defenceman] Griffin Mendel and whether or not we’ll ever see him, this gives us more depth.”

Sidaway, a native of Victoria, has spent the 2015-16 season with the Westshore Wolves of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. In 24 games, he has tallied five goals, seven points and 122 penalty minutes.

The WHL trade deadline is set for Jan. 10.

Slide continues as Ice fall to Rebels, Warriors Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice winless streak has hit 16 games.

After dropping a heartbreaking 6-4 decision to the Red Deer Rebels at Western Financial Place on New Year’s Eve, the Ice hit the highway for a quick, two-game swing through Saskatchewan looking to start 2016 on better terms.

“Our guys should be the angriest group,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following the loss to Red Deer. “Cars should be getting out of our way on our drive. We’re going to be like Mario Kart with star power -- anger and we can see [the win], we can smell [the win]. Let’s not let that get out of our grasp.

“We gave ourselves some great lessons to learn.

I’m tired of ‘I like our effort’ and positives, blah, blah, blah. Obviously, we gave ourselves a chance to win a hockey game and had a lead...We did some things that led to goals [against] that we have to learn from.

Those aren’t lessons we’ve been able to learn from because we haven’t been in that situation.”

Against the Rebels, the Ice held a 4-3 lead until Grayson Pawlenchuk knotted the game with 5:32 remaining in regulation. Less than four minutes later, Ivan Nikolishin gave the visitors the lead and Pawlenchuk added an empty-net goal to ice the decision.

Saturday in Moose Jaw, the Ice were able to snap a 15-game slide without earning a point but still couldn’t find a win.

Zak Zborosky registered a hat trick to help his club get to overtime, but it was the hosts finding the difference-maker as Dryden Hunt recorded his second goal of the night to boost the Warriors.

The two-game trip concluded Sunday afternoon in a matinee affair with the Swift Current Broncos.

Results were unavailable by print deadline.

The Ice return home to host the Regina Pats this Friday, Jan. 8, before making a day trip across the Alberta border to face the Lethbridge Hurricanes the following day.

Watch the Townsman this week for results from Sunday’s meeting between the Ice and Broncos.

Year in Review, Part III September and October C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

September The campfire ban and smoky skies advisory were both lifted as 2015 fire season began to wind down. The Kimberley Cranbrook area escaped with much fire activity but nothing threatening either community. It was noted that Kimberley’s SunMine stats would be thrown off due to smoky skies in August.

A grizzly attack left a hunter with non-life threatening injuries. Chad Dueck of Cranbrook was attacked by a sow grizzly near Pritchard Road and Cranbrook’s spray irrigation fields.

Dueck was bow hunting and shot at the bear but missed it. The bear left the area and CO’s didn’t feel it was a threat.

Suspects with a plan made an attempt to break into Trickle Creek Golf Course in early September, and a day later, were successful breaking into Bootleg Gap, making off with an ATM machine. “They drove a bobcat through the front door at Bootleg Gap, loosened the ATM machine, which was bolted to the floor and took off,” said Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken with the ATM. Canfor announced it would be closing the Canal Flats saw mill as of November 9. “Our CEO and members of the senior management team were in Canal Flats today to announce the permanent closure of the facility,” said Corrine Stavness. “While we understand how difficult this will be for our employees and the community of Canal Flats, recent downturns in the oil and gas and lumber markets that the mill served combined with a lack of economically available fibre for the mill have brought operating losses we can no longer sustain.”

On September 4th and again on Sept 8, police seized a quantity of Cocaine, Crack Cocaine and Heroin from a 24 year old male.

Police had received information about a male believed to be from the lower mainland that was trafficking in a controlled substance in Cranbrook. Subsequent investigation found the subject had recently arrived in the area and had rented a condo in Kimberley.

A grizzly bear attacked an angler near Canal Flats on September 9. The attack occurred just off Findlay Creek Road, about eight kilometres up. Conservation Officer Joe Carravetta said the man was walking along a path and startled a young grizzly bear at a distance of about three meters.

Kimberley City Council granted business licenses to two more

medical marijuana businesses for Kimberley on September 14, 2015. Each business will be allowed to dispense medical cannabis products, but each with a limitation — there will be no production allowed. The market will decide whether medical marijuana businesses make it or not, Council said.

Police took a subject into custody after a fifteen-hour standoff in Kimberley, Saturday, September 19. The incident began on Saturday night at 6:00 pm when neighbors reported a distraught male yielding two large axes and acting in an aggressive manner.

Safety concerns prompted the call to police. The subject also had two knives on his belt. Two police negotiators talked to the man all night, over 14 hours, and he was eventually taken into custody with no issues.

Kimberley received a prestigious award at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in Vancouver in September. Mayor Don McCormick accepted the Community Excellence Award for Leadership and Innovation on behalf of the City of Kimberley at the UBCM Awards Breakfast. Kimberley was recognized for the development of the SunMine.

With the 42nd federal election fast approaching, residents of Kimberley were given an opportunity to listen in on major election issues and the stances of all four candidates in the riding of Kootenay-Columbia on Wednesday, Sept. 30 as the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce hosted an all-candidates forum at Centre 64. A variety of issues were covered over the 13-question forum. In order as they were addressed: rural access to affordable Internet, medicinal marijuana dispensaries, funding of the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC), the mandatory long-form census, investment in veterans services, education, freedom of Canadian scientists, climate change, investment in future clean technologies, economic priorities relating to small businesses and supply of workers, electoral reform and, finally, the growing age gap and the systemic issues that come with it.

October

The trial of a Cranbrook RCMP officer began in Cranbrook Supreme Court, as witnesses and responding officers testified in front of Justice Trevor Armstrong and the jury. Richard Drought was charged with careless use or storage of a firearm after the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) recommended the charge that stemmed from a police incident in October 2012. The trial ended abruptly as Crown counsel initiated a stay of proceedings, accompanied by cheers from the

audience in the courtroom.

Crown counsel Oleh Kuzma opened the seventh day of Drought’s trial by announcing that new evidence had been heard that hadn’t been heard previously before. “After assessing all the available evidence, the Crown has concluded that there is no substantial chance of conviction,” said Kuzma, a special prosecutor from Victoria who served as crown counsel for the case.

A celebration marking the successful joint bid to host the BC 55 Plus Games by the communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley took place on Friday, Oct. 9 at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. The successful bid by the two communities was announced by the Ministry of Community, Sports and Cultural Development on Sept. 26.

Family, friends and fellow railway volunteers gathered at the Kimberley United Church to honour the life of Bill Spence, who passed away on October 2, 2015 at the age of 94. Mr. Spence was described as a visionary, a man with a great idea and the creativity, resourcefulness and drive to make it work. Mr. Spence was the driving force behind the Underground Mining Railway.

According to Paddy Brown, who operates the Greyhound stop out of his Flowers Galore business, Wednesday, October 15, 2015 was the last day Greyhound ran its passenger bus route from Cranbrook to Calgary, with stops in Kimberley and up the valley.

More than 73 per cent of voters turned out to vote in the Kootenay Columbia riding as the race between the NDP’s Wayne Stetski and Conservative David Wilks went into the early hours of the morning. Stetski was eventually declared the winner by less than 200 votes as the Liberals won the evening and a majority government.

Kimberley updated its garbage bylaw, and is now asking residents to not to put yard waste and clippings in the trash set out for collection. Residents are also asked to take all recyclables out of the trash.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel reported that Kimberley Detachment members made an arrest last week for possession and accessing child pornography. “On October 19, Kimberley RCMP arrested a 20 year old male for Possession and Accessing Child Pornography,” Newel said.

“Information had been forwarded to Kimberley from the BC Integrated Child exploitation Unit that the subject had been in possession of child pornography. An investigation was initiated and a search warrant obtained.”

The Year in Review concludes in tomorrow’s Bulletin.

Olivia, Ethan top B.C.’s baby names For the bulletin

Olivia is the most popular name for baby girls born in B.C. for the third straight year.

The province issued its annual list of top baby names chosen in 2014.

Ethan was the top name for boys, edging out Liam, the previous year’s top choice.

It’s been a long run of popularity for Ethan, which has been number one or two every year since 2002.

Emma, Sophia, Emily and Chloe rounded out the top five names for girls in 2014, while the other top boys’

names were Liam, Lucas, Oliver and Mason.

“Not surprisingly Terry was not the most popular boys’ name in British Columbia in 2014,” said Health Minister Terry Lake said.

Final statistics for 2015’s names won’t be available until later in

Market Quotations

2016, but so far Olivia appears to be extending her streak, while Oliver was edging ahead of Liam and Ethan for top choice on the boys’ side as of Dec. 1.

The Vital Statistics Agency reported 44,500 babies born in B.C. in 2014 – 22,957 boys and 21,543 girls.

Cranbrook delivers beds to needy kids Submitted

Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Cranbrook, B.C proudly announces that they have surpassed last year’s bed package giveaway for “A Hope to Dream” program, which seeks to provide less fortunate local children with comfortable mattresses for a good night’s sleep.

A portion from every mattress sold at the Ashley HomeStore in Cranbrook goes towards a full sleep package which consists of a twin memory foam mattress set with sheets and comforter set (Retail value of $850.00).

The staff also pitched in and raised enough money to buy each child a Christmas gift.

“We’re so proud to be part of a program that’s making healthy sleep a reality for thousands of underprivileged children across North America -- and we’re proud of everyone who’s helped make it a reality,” says Joey Hoechsmann, Ashley HomeStore licensee in Cranbrook B.C . “There are over 200 Ashley Furniture HomeStores par-

Without their help and passion, the program wouldn’t be where it is today. It truly is a group effort.”

The selection process was aided greatly by a partnership with

the Boys and Girls Club and The Salvation Army to select 10 lucky kids in the Cranbrook area. On Dec 12th, the Ashley elves visited each home and helped set up the new sleep sets. “It is a very humbling experience,” Hoechsmann explains.

“All of our Ashley team members were greatly moved by the gratitude

and warm responses they received from the well deserving families.”

The goal for 2016 is to deliver more new beds into children’s homes. Children are a vital part of any growing community, and it is important to find a way to help them live healthier and more productive lives. A good night’s

sleep has a positive impact on all areas of a child’s life, from academics and extracurricular activities, to relationships with friends and family.

And Kimberley’s top story is...

Monday, January 4, 2016 Page 5

C arolyn Gr ant

ast Thursday it was my colleagues in the Cranbrook newsroom who put out their top five stories of 2015 for that City. Now it’s Kimberley’s turn.

You don’t have to think very hard to come up with five candidates for top story, but I’m going to go with the Kimberley Dynamiters KIJHL championship and second place in the Cyclone Taylor Cup. It was certainly the year’s happiest story. There are plenty of hardcore, long-time Dynamiter fans in Kimberley who follow the team loyally every year. But as the Dynamiters began to rack up win after win heading into February, more and more people jumped on the bandwagon. The Kimberley Civic Centre became the place to be for a loud, sometimes deafening, good time. There was Nitro talk in every coffee shop, grocery store and bank. Fans followed the team to out of town games, followed them on Twitter when they couldn’t be there, and lived and died with every shot. It was an amazing run to be a part of and the team certainly made Kimberley very, very proud.

For story number two, we turn to matters of politics and infrastructure. Kimberley’s flume rehab project has been in the news for years. With a new Council swearing that costs on Phase II would not get out of control as they did on Phase I, a decision was made in May of 2015 to defer the project for a year to see if more savings, and grant money, could be found. Two weeks later, Council changed its collective mind and decided to go ahead. The contractor had found more savings in the budget. The contractor had also pointed out to Council

that they had booked their summer’s work for Kimberley. They may not be available at another time. With all this, and a promise for tight controls every step of the way, work proceeded. Flume watching became a sport as all of Kimberley watched the progress on the very visible project. It started to go a little behind schedule and a little over budget — although nowhere near the over budget numbers of Phase I. Currently the cost overrun sits at $163,689, an amount Mayor Don McCormick said he was “not dissatisfied” with. The flume was also a little behind schedule but was projected to be done by year’s end. Is it finished? Stay tuned for the first Council meeting of the year on January 11 to find out.

Story number three is the SunMine.

2015 was the year the solar farm went online, to much acclaim near and far. When tours for the SunMine were offered this past summer, they were full. Kimberley won several awards recognizing the innovative project and its sustainable energy vision. McCormick was satisfied that the SunMine had done its job in bringing positive attention to Kimberley. At year end, the SunMine was a little over four per cent over budget, a $232,985 shortfall that will be made up from reserve funds. It is too early to say what kind of success the SunMine will be. Council agreed that data from a half year, especially a half-year with a very smokey August, is not enough to predict how much energy will be produced. At least a full year’s data is required.

However, in terms of positive press for Kimberley, SunMine is already a very big success.

2015 was also the year that the City of Kimberley made the somewhat unusual move of granting business licenses to medical marijuana dispensaries. Though the laws around such dispensaries remain very much a grey area, Council went forward, after much discussion, on a purely business front. The businesses would either thrive or they wouldn’t and it wasn’t up to Council to decide that, was the thinking. Three such licenses were granted. One dispensary has been in business since July with no reported problems. Still, it was a decision that drew attention to Kimberley.

Finally, let’s talk tourism. 2015 was an interesting year. The winter season lacked snow and the grooming crew at Kimberley Alpine Resort was pushed to its limits trying to keep runs open and skiable. Most people in town would agree it wasn’t a great winter. And with the downturn in the oilpatch and other economic misfortune, many predicted a slow summer as well. It didn’t happen. Kimberley’s tourism numbers over the summer were good — great, even. It was busy. Accommodators reported sold out weekends. It may have been the growing number of events, such as round the Mountain, the Enduro Race series, the Ultra-Marathon, Symphony on the Mountain, the Medieval Festival, and that old favourite, JulyFest, that drew people to town. Or it may have been Albertans going on shorter holidays closer to home, and Americans taking advantage of the low dollar. Whatever it was, it led to a really good summer for tourism, and therefore, for small business. And that’s good news for all of us.

Whac-a-Mole Sexual Slavery T here is an old fairground game called Whac-a-Mole. You whack a (fake) mole on the head and drive it down into its hole – and instantly one or more other moles pop up out of other holes. It’s an excellent metaphor for humanity’s inability to abolish sexual slavery.

Last week, we had the long-overdue full apology by the Japanese government for the enslavement of up to 200,000 young “comfort women” from countries conquered by Japan to provide sexual “comfort” to Japanese soldiers during the Second World War. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government finally ended decades of haggling over the scale of Japan’s crime and the form of words in which it should apologise. It simply said we did it and we’re sorry, and here’s one billion yen ($8.5 million) to make restitution to Korea’s surviving comfort women.

The apology was a bit late (the 46 surviving Korean “comfort women” are all over 80 now), but the mole was well and truly whacked. Except that in another part of the garden, another mole immediately poked his head out of the ground.

This time it was Islamic State. On Tuesday, Reuters published captured IS documents including Fatwa No. 64, dated 29 January of this year, which purported to explain the Islamic rules on who may rape a non-Muslim female slave. Or, more precisely, who may not do so (a rather smaller number of people).

An owner may rape his female slaves, of course, but he may not rape both a mother and her daughter. He must make his choice and stick to it. Similarly, a slave-owning father and son may not both rape the same enslaved woman. And business partners who jointly own a slave may not both rape her. That would be almost incestuous.

This is typical IS provocation, designed to appeal to frustrated young men while simultaneously shocking orthodox Muslim opinion. And quite predictably, Islamic scholars like Professor Abdel Fattah Alawari, dean of Islamic Theology at AlAzhar University in Cairo, rushed to point out that IS, in claiming that this was part of Shariah law, was deliberately misreading verses and sayings that were originally designed to end slavery.

“Islam preaches freedom to slaves, not slavery,” Alawari said. “Slavery was the status quo when Islam came Gwynne around. Judaism, Christianity, Greek, Roman, Dyer and Persian civilizations all practiced it and took the females of their enemies as sex slaves.

So Islam found this abhorrent practice and worked to gradually remove it.” Well, yes, but very, very gradually.

Islamic law forbids the enslavement of Muslims, but all that did was to encourage a roaring trade in the enslavement of non-Muslims that lasted for over a thousand years. And it reached a very long way: when I was growing up in Newfoundand, the easternmost part of North America, we learned in school about the “Sally Rovers”, Muslim pirates from Morocco who raided villages on the Newfoundland coast for slaves until well into the 18th century.

Muslim slave raids on the Mediterranean coasts of Europe were so constant that long stretches of coastline remained largely abandoned until the 18th century.

The last major slave raid by the Crimean Tartars (a traditional revenue-earner known as the “harvesting of the steppe”) yielded 20,000 Russian and Polish slaves in 1723.

Christianity, which spread widely among slaves in the Roman empire and

did not control any government for the first three centuries of its existence, ought to have done better when it came to power, but it didn’t. Slavery lasted in the eastern part of the Roman empire, Byzantium, until that finally fell to the Turks in 1452.

Slavery had pretty well died out in the Christian West by the year 1000, only to be replaced by the feudal system in which most common people were reduced to serfdom. And as soon as a demand for actual slave labour re-appeared, with the European colonisation of the Americas in the 16th century, the Europeans began to buy slaves from Africa – as the Islamic empires of the Middle East and India had been doing all along.

The longest-lasting source of slaves for the Muslim world was the African trade, both across the Sahara and up from the East African coast, which lasted from the 9th to the 19th century. Various estimates by historians suggest that between 10 and 18 million Africans were sold in this thousand-year trade – about as many as were exported by the Europeans in the 250 years of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Neither the European empires nor the great Muslim states ended slavery until the 19th century, so there is plenty of blame to go around. But there is one striking difference between the two trades. The European slavers took two or three African males for every female, because what they wanted was a work-force for commercial agriculture.

The Muslim slavers, by contrast, generally took more women than men, because there was a bigger demand for women as sex slaves (concubines, etc.) than for men as warrior slaves, and practically no demand for agricultural workers. The Muslim world does have a particular history in the question of sexual slavery, and therefore a particular duty to condemn and fight against the odious doctrinal claims of the Islamic State fanatics.

To qualify, people must have active Medical Services Plan coverage and be a tobacco smoker or chewer.

The program began in 2011 and the province has spent $38 million on it so far. A survey of 3,000 users in 2015 found that about one in four reported quitting smoking for some period, with half of those making it a month or more smoke free. Three quarters of survey participants reported smoking less after using nicotine replacement.

The program also covers 12 weeks of prescription drugs Zyban or Champix, with cost depending on coverage under the Pharmacare program. Details are available at www. gov.bc.ca/bcsmokingcessation or from your doctor.

The B.C. government’s quit-smoking assistance program is now available to people who drop by a pharmacy to qualify for free nicotine replacement products.

As of Jan. 1, 2016, participants no longer have to register by calling 8-1-1 to reach the HealthLinkBC medical advice service. The program has also expanded its offerings to include nicotine inhalers and lozenges as well as gum and patches.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the changes are to make it easier for smokers to quit, or to try again if they have relapsed after using the program before. It supplies 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine replacement products in each calendar year to B.C. residents.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I are recently married, and we moved to a new town a year ago. Our neighbor is an art professor at a community college. He is a kind gentleman, and we spend a fair amount of time together, having each other over for dinners, cookouts, etc.

Last summer, he asked my wife to would work as a model for two of his drawing classes. He has trouble finding models during the day, and she is a homemaker.

She agreed. Well, she recently brought home one of the professor’s sketches from class and I was shocked to see that she posed in the nude. She assumed I knew what kind of models work for college art classes, but I was really upset. She said she enjoys the work and would like to keep doing it.

Now I find myself uncomfortable when the three of us are together, knowing that he sees her naked on a regular basis. If the class were taught by a stranger, I would have less of a problem with it. He has already asked her back for next semester, and I’d like her to say no. She says I am being unreasonably jealous. Is she right?

-- The Husband Dear Husband: Art class models are not objects of sexual desire. They are simply a way to help students draw the human form. We doubt the professor thinks about your wife in any way other than as a friend and colleague. Here’s our recommendation: Attend the class a few times to see exactly what’s going on.

If you still feel that the professor or the students have a prurient interest in your wife, or if you believe your wife is doing this because she wants to be seductive, you should ask her to stop for the health of your marriage.

Dear Annie: I am concerned about a friend who consumes large quantities of alcohol every night. Since his liver tests come back OK, he thinks it isn’t a problem, and that he can drink a lot because he’s a big guy.

Would you be able to elaborate with factual information on what harm may be done to the body other than the liver?

Most discussions about alcohol refer to the damage it does to relationships and job, and the risk of driving under the influence. But I think there’s more than temporary impairment. I want him to make a more informed decision on how to deal with stress. I love him and would like to see him have a long life. -- Hoping for a Change Dear Hoping: We doubt this knowledge will change his attitude about drinking, but according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. While moderate drinking can prevent coronary heart disease, drinking a lot over a long time, or too much on a single occasion can cause cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, stroke and high blood pressure. Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can lead to pancreatitis.

Too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing cancer of the mouth, esophagus, throat, liver and breast, and can weaken your immune system. This is in addition to liver damage, which you already know about. By the time his liver tests aren’t “OK,” it may be too late.

Across the great Islamic divide

Shiite cleric’s execution in Sunniruled Saudi Arabia exposes Mideast’s dangerous divisions A m i r Va h dat A n d J o n Ga m b r e ll Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — The execution of a Shiite cleric in Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia laid bare the divisions now gripping the Middle East, as protesters set fire Sunday to the kingdom’s embassy in Tehran and demonstrators took to the streets from Bahrain to Pakistan.

The mass execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr along with 46 others the largest carried out

by Saudi Arabia in three and a half decades - illustrates the kingdom’s new aggressiveness under King Salman.

During his reign, Saudi Arabia has led a coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen and staunchly opposed regional Shiite power Iran, even as Tehran struck a nuclear deal with world powers.

Iran’s top leader warned Saudi Arabia on Sunday of “divine revenge” over al-Nimr’s death, while Riyadh accused Tehran of supporting terrorism in a war of words that threatened to escalate even as the U.S. and the European Union sought to calm the region.

Al-Nimr was a central figure in Arab Spring-inspired protests by Saudi Arabia’s

Shiite minority until his arrest in 2012. He was convicted of terrorism charges but denied advocating violence.

On Saturday, Saudi Arabia put al-Nimr and three other Shiite dissidents to death, along with a number of al-Qaida militants. Al-Nimr’s execution drew protests from Shiites around the world, who backed his call for reform and wider political freedom for their sect.

While the split between Sunnis and Shiites dates back to the early days of Islam and disagreements over the successor to Prophet Muhammad, those divisions have only grown as they intertwine with regional politics today, with both Iran and Saudi Arabia vying to be the Mideast’s top power.

Iran accuses Saudi Arabia of supporting terrorism in part because it backs Syrian rebel groups fighting to oust its embattled ally, President Bashar Assad.

Riyadh points to Iran’s backing of the Lebanese Hezbollah and other Shiite militant groups in the region as a sign of its support for terrorism.

Iran also has backed Shiite rebels in Yemen known as Houthis.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, condemned al-

The mass execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr along with 46 others by Saudi Arabia illustrates the kingdom’s new aggressiveness under King Salman.

Nimr’s execution, saying Sunday the cleric “neither invited people to take up arms nor hatched covert plots.

The only thing he did was public criticism.”

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard said Saudi Arabia’s “medieval act of savagery” would lead to the “downfall” of the country’s monarchy.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said that by condemning the execution, Iran had “revealed its true face represented in support for terrorism.”

In Tehran, a protest outside the Saudi Embassy early Sunday quickly grew violent.

Protesters threw stones and gasoline bombs at the embassy, setting part of the building ablaze, according to Gen. Hossein Sajedinia,

the country’s top police official, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said.

Across the region, protesters also took to the streets.

The cleric’s execution has threatened to complicate Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the Shiite-led government in Iraq, where the Saudi Embassy is preparing to formally reopen for the first time in nearly 25 years. On Saturday there were calls for the embassy to be shut down again.

Iran and Saudi Arabia summoned each other’s envoys for consultations, and Saudi allies Egypt and the United Arab Emirates summoned Iranian officials in their capitals over the Tehran embassy assault.

Judge says Cosby’s wife must give deposition in defamation lawsuit Associated Press

BOSTON - Bill Cosby’s wife will be forced to testify in a defamation lawsuit filed by seven women who accuse the comedian of sexually assaulting them decades ago.

A federal judge on Thursday denied a motion by Camille Cosby to throw out a subpoena requiring her to give a deposition in the lawsuit. She is scheduled to be deposed by lawyers for the women on Wednesday.

U.S. Judge Magistrate David Hennessey in Springfield, Mass., said Camille Cosby failed to prove that she and her husband were protected by the state’s marital disqualification law. He also rejected claims that the value of the testimony would be outweighed by the “undue burden” the deposition would cause.

The arguments “do not outweigh the potential significance of Mrs. Cosby’s testimony, nor

has Mrs. Cosby provided any authority that they do,” Hennessey wrote in a 12-page ruling.

The couple has been married for more than 50 years and Camille Cosby is her husband’s business partner. She is not a defendant in the lawsuit against Bill Cosby.

A lawyer for the women, Joseph Cammarata, argued last month that he should be able to question Camille Cosby because he believed she had “information that’s relevant to the litigation in this matter.”

In a motion filed Dec. 18 to quash the subpoena, Bill Cosby’s lawyers said his wife does not have any information about the accuracy of the women’s allegations, and argued that subjecting his wife to a deposition was “nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to pressure defendant in the face of subjecting his wife to the shame and embar-

rassment of responding to questions about his alleged infidelities and sexual misconduct.”

The women claim Cosby allowed representatives to portray them as liars after they went public with their allegations against the entertainer.

Cosby has filed a countersuit, accusing the women of making false allegations for financial gain.

Camille Cosby had also sought a protective order to limit the scope of the subpoena as an alternative to quashing it altogether, but the judge also rejected that approach.

Cosby was charged last week in Pennsylvania with drugging and sexually assaulting an Ontario woman in 2004 inside his home near Philadelphia, the first criminal case brought against him out of the torrent of allegations that destroyed his good-guy image as America’s Dad.
