The OCP in a week City of Kimberley encourages you to get involved C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley is updating its Official Community Plant, the high level document that guides development decisions. In a nutshell, the OCP will frame how the community develops for the next 20 years. The OCP was last upgraded in 2005, and the community has changed since then.

In order to update the OCP and keep it in line with what residents want — what their view of Kimberley is — public participation is key to the process.

The City’s planning department is trying to make it as easy as possible to get input by providing a number of different ways you can provide an opinion. Public sessions began on Wednesday this week at the Green Door in the Platzl. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Thursday and Friday, there will be City representatives at the Green Door to talk about the OCP and what it means for you. There are also evening sessions from 6 to 8 p.m. at Centennial Hall on Thursday and Friday, and two weekend sessions on Saturday; one at Montana’s Restaurant from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and one at Timber Hitch Coffee Shop in Marysville from 2 to 5 p.m.

There is also a survey available online at kimberley.ca See OCP, page 3

Half a dozen people showed up at Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett’s constituency office on Wednesday morning to protest the conditions of East Kootenay highways. Affiliated with the Facebook group ‘ Taking Back East Kootenay Highways’, the protesters took issue with the state of the highways throughout the region and are petitioning Bennett to enforce the company to have a higher standard of winter maintenance.

As reported in the Bulletin this week, neither Bennett nor anyone from Mainroad attended the protest. See Friday’s Bullet in for more from MLA Bennett on highway maintenance.

Analyst expects gas prices to drop TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Prices at the pump should be dropping soon, according to a Canadian consumer advocate with Gasbuddy.com.

Dan McTeague says that price relief in the range of three to seven cents should be coming soon to pumps in the Cranbrook/Kimberley area.

McTeague, a former MP who has also worked in the petroleum industry for over three decades, notes that there are a number of factors that work against local fuel prices.

First, while Calgary flirts with 70 cents/litre prices, Cranbrook is hovering at 101.9/litre. McTeague says Calgary is a large market with quicker turnover of inventory.

For example, if gas retailers are

buying stock at 82 - 83 cents/litre, in larger markets, they can afford to resell at only four or five cents higher because of faster turnover.

Whereas in the East Kootenay, retailers may be selling gas at 15-20 cents above their wholesale price to recoup costs from trucking it in, which is McTeague says is likely piped into Kamloops before getting trucked to Cranbrook.

Great horned owl found with broken wings After short stay in Cranbrook, owl was flown to wildlife rehab centre BARRY COULTER Townsman Editor

An injured great horned owl has a new lease on life, but is not out of the woods yet.

The big bird was found on a dike by the highway near Creston, with two broken wings.

It had likely been hit by a car. The owl was brought to a volunteer home in Cranbrook (Sioux Browning and John Bradshaw), where it stayed two nights before being shipped to O.W.L (Orphaned Wildlife) Rehabilitation Society in Delta, B.C. Monday morning.

Pacific Coastal Airline donates transportation of these birds to from all over the province.

This Great Horned Owl was small for it’s species — only 15 inches tall. They can’t turn their eyes in their sockets so therefore turn their heads (they can turn head 270 degree).

The crush their talons is 300 psi. It would take 28 pounds of force to open their talons.

The owl’s two broken wings will make recovery tough. There is a chance it may have to be euthanized.

Rob, speaking to Townsman from O.W.L.

in Delta, said both wings were broken at the radii ulna. “So it’s iffy at best, whether he’ll be able to heal enough to be able able to be released back into the wild. He must have been hit pretty hard.

“He’s pretty thin, but we’re patching him up, letting the bones heal, and we’ll see if he’ll eventually be able to fly again.

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society is a non-profit organization licensed through the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The facility specializes in raptors (i.e. eagles, falcons, hawks and owls). Birds of prey patients at O.W.L. number over 400 each year and as O.W.L.’s facilities have expanded, so has the intake.

Primary care for injured birds (i.e. fluid injections, tube feeding, and initial treatment of broken bones to stabilize) is administered by staff. Veterinary care (i.e. surgery involving the pinning of fractures, radiographs and amputations) is contributed by local clinics such as Huff Animal Hospital, Richmond Animal Hospital, and Tsawwassen Animal Hospital.

Birds of prey are sent to O.W.L. from all over B.C., other provinces and the U.S. The majority of birds arrive from the Lower Mainland. Although we encourage

the public to transport injured or orphaned birds to the facility, O.W.L. has a network of volunteers when pickup is necessary.

O.W.L. is on call seven days a week, 24 hours a day. More more information on O.W.L., call (604) 946-3171, or email owlrehab@ dccnet.com.

OCP in a week From Page 1 The survey will ask you how satisfied you are with quality of life in Kimberley and how often you use various city facilities and amenities, such as arenas, the aquatic centre, the conference centre, Cominco Gardens and more. The survey also wants to know how you feel about any interaction you may have had with City staff and how you rate city services and City Council. If the City were to either improve or cut services or facilities, which would you prefer them to be? ““The Survey is another opportunity to get involved in our OCP update project. Kimberley residents may also choose to meet with us in-person at one of the many ‘OCP in a Week’ events scheduled throughout the community or they might find it more

convenient to participate online using our PlaceSpeak engagement tool,” said Troy Pollock, City of Kimberley Planning Services Manager. “We want as many community members as possible to get involved, have their say and influence the outcomes of the project.”

Links to the Community Survey, the ‘OCP in a Week’ schedule and PlaceSpeak are available on the City’s website or contact City Hall with any questions.

Bohemian Waxwing tops Kimberley’s bird count Daryl C alder Rocky Mountain Naturalists

Six intrepid naturalists knew that birding would be quite good in Kimberley. January 2, 2016, a chilly, calm, grey day was uncomfortable for humans but did not deter the birds. To generate body heat, birds need to be constantly searching for food during daylight hours in order to survive the long winter night.

With the help of 4 feeder watchers, a relatively large number of birds were counted for the benefit of the 116th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Birders investigated grasslands, forests, rivers and streams, wild, rural and urban areas.

The species list was longer than average, in-

cluding 19 types which have been observed on virtually all of the 24 Kimberley counts. Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Pacific Wren and Varied Thrush have only been spotted a couple of times.

Even though the Cranbrook and Kimberley count areas are not far apart, eleven species detected in Kimberley this year were not found in Cranbrook and vice-versa. Adding eleven to each count indicates that about 60 types of bird can survive the winter in this part of the East Kootenay.

The ‘eleven’ are an assortment of waterfowl, raptors, thrushes and winter finches which are not particularly uncommon in either area.

One little non-migratory bird was seen on both counts. The very at-

tractive Chestnut-backed Chickadee will move up to higher elevations in late summer, moving back to lowland forests following heavy snowstorms. They prefer dense, wet, coniferous forests along the Pacific coast between Southern California and Alaska, and a zone which reaches into our part of the Rocky Mountains. They occur in a wide variety of forest types, including deciduous woodlands and brushy streamsides.

In urban, suburban and rural areas, where extensive trees and shrubs are present, they are commonly seen at backyard feeders. Active, sociable and noisy as any chickadee, you’ll find these birds at the heart of foraging flocks moving through tall conifers, with

titmice, nuthatches, and sometimes other chickadee species.

A cavity nester, the Chestnut-backed Chickadee uses a lot of fur in making it’s nest, with fur or hair comprising half of the material in the hole.

Rabbit, coyote or deer hair are most common, but hair from skunks, cats, horses or cows appears in nests as well.

The adults make a layer of fur about one half inch thick to cover the eggs when they leave the nest.

Cavity nesting birds tend to have better success than open-cup nesters, but that doesn’t mean they are immune to predation. Nests get attacked by predators including mice, squirrels, weasels, snakes and black bears.

Males take the first step in choosing nest sites, approaching a possible location while the female watches. Later, the female decides on the site, enters the cavity, and accepts pieces of vegetation brought by the male. Nest sites can be holes in rotted trees, stumps and posts soft enough for the chickadees to excavate them-

selves, or old woodpecker holes. Chestnut-backs will use nest boxes or natural cavities 1-12 feet above ground. Nest building takes 7-8 days, and the thickness of the finished product can vary in height from 1-6 inches.

Females build the nest on their own, starting with a foundation of moss and strips of bark, particularly incense cedar when it’s available. The nest’s upper layer consists of animal hair woven with strips of bark, grass, feathers and sometimes textile fibers. Finally, the thin, warm flap is added.

These chickadees eat about 65% insects, feeding their young mostly caterpillars and wasp larvae. To a lesser extent, they also eat seeds, berries and fruit pulp.

C h e s t n u t- b a c k e d Chickadees are common across their range, but populations have been gradually declining since 1966. At 1% per year, the result is a cumulative decline of about 42% according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey.

1845 individual birds counted in Kimberley From Page 4 Forest management practices which remove potential nest sites, can make it difficult for these little birds.

Another handsome denizen of the dark, wet, mature forests of the Pacific Northwest has been observed lately. In winter, the Varied Thrush may be found in parks, gardens, lakeshores, and riparian areas where fruit and berries are abundant. In fact, this shy bird has apparently discovered the benefits of feeders around Cranbrook and Kimberley.

These thrushes forage for insects in summer and switch to berries and seeds in winter.

This short-distance, partial migrant, may travel south in winter, sometimes leap-frogging over southern breeding populations. In many winters, a few Varied Thrushes move erratically and appear in the Midwest and Northeast, far out of their normal range.

During breeding season, these thrushes eat insects and arthropods hidden in leaf litter. They forage by seizing dead leaves in their bill and hopping backwards to clear a spot of ground

before examining it for prey. Foraging Varied Thrushes can be seen on the ground in small openings, but look for singing birds at higher perches in the understorey and lower layers of the forest. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, a twentieth century bird artist, described the Varied Thrush’s simple, contemplative song “as perfectly the voice of the cool, dark, peaceful solitude which the bird chooses for its’ home as could be imagined”.

Long-term data has shown that populations go up and down on a 2 year cycle. They are often aggressive to each other and other bird species.

At feeders, males sometimes defend small feeding territories. The only time Varied Thrushes flock with other species is when they occasionally forage for berries or earthworms on lawns with American Robins.

Females probably choose where to place the nest, usually in the understorey of a mature forest, often in a spot surrounded by old nests.

The female gathers nest material, weaving an outer layer of twigs. She adds a middle layer of rotten wood, moss, mud or decomposing grass

which hardens into a dense cup 4 inches across by 2 inches deep.

Finally, she lines the cup with fine grasses, soft dead leaves and fine moss. The poorly concealed nest, close to the trunk of a small conifer, is then draped with pieces of green moss.

According to the North American Breeding Bird Survey, Varied Thrushes are fairly common but their populations have declined by 62% since 1966. The 2014 ‘State of the Birds Report’ listed them as a common bird in steep decline. Logging and forest fragmentation can cause habitat loss; they tend not to live in forest patches smaller than about 40 acres. Around human habitation, varied Thrushes have proven very vulnerable to window strikes, as well as predation by domestic and feral cats and collisions with cars. Varied thrushes may benefit from reserves that have been established to protect the Northern Spotted Owl. The Kimberley List, 48 Species, totalling 1845 individuals Mallard 1 Common Goldeneye 15

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

question. How long is the Canadian public going to sit and placidly accept paying over $1 a litre for gas, when oil is at historic lows? How many times are we going to swallow the same tired excuse from Big Oil? Supply is tight, there’s a refinery down, it’s a holiday weekend — gas always goes up on a holiday weekend because there’s such a demand for it. And of course, the favourite — it’s all taxes.

There’s lots of oil out there, real cheap oil. You got a short supply? Get more.

Taxes are merely a percentage of overall cost. If the price drops, it’s still the same percentage of a smaller number. Over-simplified? Of course, but I am getting pretty sick of swallowing the same weak explanations. We are paying too much for gas.

Period.

Let me get my rage under control and end with this. Consider life in North Korea, must be pretty bleak. Many times, people living a bleak existence like to have a drink or two to wash their sorrows away. This week, North Korea made a bold claim. No, not a nuclear test or pronouncement on the greatness of Kim Jong Un, better than that. A liquor that doesn’t give you a hangover. Wow. Get me some of that. Of course, last June, North Korea said it had developed a ginseng-based drug that could prevent and cure Ebola, SARS and AIDS. Sounds like a great place. What do you suppose they pay for gas in North Korea?

Helping Hands

This is in reply to a letter from Mr Johnstone.

The Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank supplies statistical information to the Bulletin on a regular basis, to inform citizens of the state of food insecurity and the need that exists in the Kimberley Area.

We track usage by our clients on a daily basis and in turn compile monthly and yearly statistical reports. The figures published were for the fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2015. The number of food hampers provided for this fiscal year was 1,458. This number included clients who access the Food Bank once or multiple times and whether they receive an emergency or full hamper.

Statistics on the number of individual family units who access the Food Bank are tracked. During the past year, 284 households in our area obtained food hampers.

This amounted to 396 adults and 253 children. Christmas Hampers are not included in these totals.

When we submit Food Bank statistics for publication, our purpose is to inform the community on the amount of usage of Food Bank services, whether it be a single or multiply users.

In no way do we want to mislead the public.

The Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank is a total volunteer organization which depends solely on donations. The Food Bank appreciates the immense support given by the community.

Stan Salikin, President Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank

Deer Cull

Dear Mayor and Members of Council, I am a Director of Animal Alliance of Canada and I am writing for three reasons.

The first is to clarify our long involvement in the discussion of deer culls in Cranbrook. The second is to explain how our position to support the relocation project came about. The third is to address the issues of the fawns in the traps.

History of our involvement in deer culls in Cranbrook: Our organization has appeared before Council on this issue in previous years. We have communicated with previous Councillors and met with the previous Mayor. I came to Cranbrook during one cull to verify the claims by the Ministry and the City: that the animals, when trapped, experience little or no stress because they simply lie down until the cull contractor arrives; that killing with the bolt was quick and painless; and the bleed-out was done immediately after. The Ministry staff had no problem with my request to attend the cull but the City, the permit holder, said no.

How support for the relocation came about: We offered our assistance with non-lethal approaches to resolving human deer conflicts. We produced a paper that focused on non-lethal alternatives and distributed it to the communities that were culling. We supported the one-day “hazing” trial in Kimberley.

When we were asked if we would give financial support for the proposed relocation programme, our Board agreed. It was our understanding at the time that any community involved in the relocation project would not be culling.

Secret cull exposed: Then in the late fall 2015, I learned that Cranbrook had received a permit and would proceed with a cull. At that time I contacted the all the municipalities involved in the relocation project and learned that Kimberley and Elkford would not be culling and that Invermere would. I re-

Letters to the Editor ceived no call back from Cranbrook.

As part of the BC Deer Protection Society, I recommended that we notify the residents of Cranbrook about a potential cull.

We took out a full page ad the Cranbrook Townsman and still no comment from Council.

In addition, I discovered that other partners in the relocation project had not been notified of Cranbrook’s decision to cull and some only learned when the video footage of the fawn in the trap was released.

I urge you not to demonize the messenger but ask yourself if this cull is as humane as you claim, how it was possible to document violations of the City’s permit on two separate occasions?

Instead of making statements about those who provided the documentation and questioned the humaneness, I urge you to consider making the following recommendations: · that the treatment of these animals was unacceptable; · that the City will investigate its role as the permit holder, responsible for enforcing the conditions of the permit; and · that you seek a joint investigation of the matter with the responsible Ministry.

Liz White, Director Animal Alliance of Canada

Deer Cull

I recently read Gerry Warner’s Letter to the Editor about the so-called Secret Deer Cull and that the mayor should make an apology for doing so under the guise of secrecy. Apologize to who. The traps were placed on properties where citizens had previously contacted the city about deer problems of one kind or another. Sure there are people who do not want the cull, but there is also a number who do and that is where the traps have been placed. For the most part the only people who want to know where and when the cull is happening are groups like those led by Ms. White and her followers so the cull can be disrupted or they can gather evidence to show the negative side of a cull. In every case when these anti-cull groups did not know when or where a cull was conducted there was never a problem. Kimberley culled a 100 deer a few years ago and it was done without incident. Cranbrook’s first cull had similar results. Since the anti-cull groups have gotten involved there have been major problems in every cull.

According to Mr. Warner The cull is now on You-Tube. I wander if he gave any thought to the fact the to get those videos they probably had to trespass on private property in the guise of secrecy. I didn’t read anywhere about landowners getting an apology for this deceitful act.

There was a cull conducted in the municipality of Oak Bay, on Vancouver Island about a year ago, and as much as the anti-cull groups tried to get information, it didn’t happen. They knew the municipality had a permit but they didn’t know when it would happen or were the traps would be set or who the contractor was. There were all kinds of blogs from the anti-groups, particularly from the Invermere area. And all kinds of questions about the secrecy, but the Municipality did not yield to the pressure and refused to release any detailed information. The anti-cull groups were definitely upset because the cull was completed without a hitch. Similar to this recent call in Cranbrook.

In most cases when the citizens of a city know there will be a cull there is not mass protests to stop it. Those that support it have their reason and those that don’t have theirs. In short, most don’t give a pack rat’s assets because the only people involved are those with serious problems and those citizens want the the problem fixed either

because their children are at risk, their pet has been killed, there property has been damaged or their was deer-human conflict.

Cull is not a dirty four letter word. Culls of one kind or another happen all the time.

Wild donkeys and pigs are culled in Australia. Africa has cull programs to protect agriculture and humans, England has deer culls as does the United States. Anti-cull groups are only interested in one thing – stopping culls. I thinks they should go to some of these other places and see how they fair.

If Gerry Warner thinks there should be an apology, he is entitled to his opinion.

Frankly I don’t think there is any need for an apology.

RC Kerr Cranbrook

Deer Cull

Of all the cities in the East Kootenays that agreed to participate in the deer relocation program, Cranbrook is the only one that decided to flagrantly disregard the agreement that was made and proceed with a deer cull.

If Cranbrook council made the decision to participate in the relocation program in good faith, why on earth would they then think it’s a good idea to continue doing a cull? And it’s very telling that Mayor Pratt “refuses to get in a debate through the media” with the Animal Alliance.

If council was in the right and had nothing to hide, then why wouldn’t he comment?

If the Deer Protection Society discovered mishandlings at least twice during this cull, how many other instances went undetected?

I think the citizens of Cranbrook have the right to know exactly what policies are laid out by the Mayor and council on critical issues to the public such as this.

I will always stand for the welfare and protection of animals, and I believe we as humans (the so-called “higher intelligent” species) have to take the ecological responsibility of co-existing with the wildlife that were here long before us.

“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.

We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” Immanuel Kant Michelle McEntee Longstaff Cranbrook

Slopes for Hope

Now that the holiday season is over, it’s time to look at our 5th Slopes for Hope Kimberley campaign. We will be skiing the vertical height of Mt Everest — 29,035 feet and this year the event will be held on March 5th, 2016.

As a 13-year prostate cancer survivor I understand how critically important research is along with various other programs the Canadian Cancer Society (British Columbia & Yukon) provides. Approximately 94% of your donations go directly to programs with only the remaining 6% going to administration costs.

This year I am skiing as an individual as my usual team members from Texas, Ontario & BC are not available. However, they are providing lots of moral support!

Please google “Slopes for Hope Kimberley 2016” and then click on “find a participant” and enter Gord Jenkins then click on donate.

Thanks for your support. Together we can strive to ensure there will be many more survivors.

Dynamiters look for revenge against Rockies Taylor Rocc a

Columbia Valley Rockies visit Kimberley Civic Centre for Eddie Mountain rematch Friday night

It doesn’t take much to spark a rivalry and when two teams play one another twice in one calendar week, that sort of scheduling certainly helps stoke the fire.

For the second time in seven days, the Kimberley Dynamiters (325-0-4) host the Columbia Valley Rockies (2317-0-0) at the Kimberley Civic Centre, with a Friday evening puck drop slated for 7 p.m.

While the Nitros and Rockies meet regularly as Eddie Mountain Division opponents, the rivalry that exists isn’t typically regarded on the same level as that which rages between the likes of the Nitros and the Fernie Ghostriders, or even the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

But this season, that is quickly changing and one might point to last Friday when the Rockies handed the Dynamiters a 5-2 defeat on home ice.

“I’m hoping I don’t have to say anything,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Dynamiters. “They know how disappointed the coaching staff was and you could see how disappointed [the players] were in themselves.

“That’s the beauty of it -- we get them again.

And it’s the last time we them before possibly playing them in the playoffs. So we’ll see how the guys respond.”

The 5-2 victory for the Invermere-based Rockies was a long time coming. The last time Columbia Valley claimed two points from the Nitros was in the early stages of the 2014-15 season -- a 3-2 triumph Oct. 24, 2014, in Invermere.

The 2015-16 campaign has a been a campaign of returns for the Rockies.

In fact, the Eddie Mountain Division’s fourth-place squad has already clinched a playoff spot just one season removed from a fifthplace finish that saw the club go 12-34-0-6. The last time the Rockies qualified for the KIJHL post-season was during 2013-14, in which they squeaked into fourth with a 13-28-3-8 record.

Though the Rockies once again find themselves fourth in the Eddie Mountain Division, they’re a much more competitive outfit this time around, having already posted 23 victories this season.

Should the playoffs begin today, the Dynamiters and Rockies would be pitted head-tohead in a seven-game, first-round match up.

With nearly a month remaining on the KIJHL calendar, plenty can change in the division, with the Rockies (46 points) working to keep pace with the third-place Ghostriders (23-13-0-4, 50 points) and second-place Thunder Cats (24-12-1-2, 51 points).

Import outsider hitters Julio Linz (15 kills) and Patrik Toze (12 kills) led the offense for the Avs in Friday’s triumph.

NHL’s Lightning suspends prospect Drouin Dhiren Mahiban Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Jonathan Drouin saga took another twist Wednesday when the Tampa Bay Lightning prospect refused to report to an American Hockey League game between the Syracuse Crunch and Toronto Marlies.

The team announced the 20-year-old as a scratch at Ricoh Coliseum prior to puck drop, adding in a statement that he has been “suspended indefinitely without pay by the team after his failure to report for tonight’s game.”

Earlier this month it was made public that Drouin, through his agent, had requested a trade from the Lightning back in November.

According to Drouin’s agent Allan Walsh, when the forward was assigned to the AHL club Jan. 2, it was explained that the assignment was for conditioning purposes and show other NHL clubs he had recovered from his injury.

Originally the third overall selection by the Lightning at the 2013 NHL draft, Drouin has six goals and 34 assists in 89 career games with Tampa Bay.

entertainment ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ release delayed to Dec. 2017 Associated Press

NEW YORK - There is a disturbance in the force.

The release of “Star Wars: Episode VIII” has been delayed from May 2017 to Dec. 15, 2017, the Walt Disney Co. announced Wednesday.

The date change post-

pones the next “Star Wars” installment set to follow the box-office hit “The Force Awakens.”

Though “Star Wars” was once synonymous with the summer blockbuster, the date change means that the franchise will again look to dominate movie theatres in

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) for the Treatment of Congestion

the holiday season. It has proven a lucrative match for “The Force Awakens,” which has made a record $861 million domestically and $1.88 billion globally in five weeks of release.

Disney offered no reason for the delay, but rumours have recently swirled that writer-director Rian Johnson (“Looper”), who is taking over

for J.J. Abrams, is rewriting the script. Production is set to begin next month in London.

In the interim, Gareth Edwards’ “Star Wars” spin-off “Rogue One” is due out Dec. 16 this year.

With prominent release dates now staked out by studios years in advance for their largest franchises, the impact of the switch immediately

caused ripples.

The new date sets up a potential but unlikely head-to-head between “Star Wars” and “Avatar.”

James Cameron’s “Avatar 2” had been planned for Christmas 2017, though few expect 20th Century Fox to hit that date with the much-delayed “Avatar” sequel. A spokesman for Fox didn’t immediately respond to an

email Wednesday.

One movie definitely affected is Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One,” a science-fiction release for Warner Bros.

It’s scheduled for the same Dec. 15 weekend in 2017.

Disney moved one of its other billion-dollar franchises, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” to May 26, 2017. The Johnny Depp

series returns with “Dead Men Tell No Tales.”

At the same time, Sony Pictures moved two of its biggest movies into summer 2017. The next “Spider-Man,” starring Tom Holland and directed by Jon Watts, shifted up three weeks to July 28, 2017. Jake Kasdan’s “Jumanji” remake shifted from Christmas 2016 to July 28, 2017.

By: Dr. Darcie Pawlick BSc, ND

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid that can help with many health concerns. It is well known for its mucolytic properties which means that it makes mucus less thick and sticky and easier to cough up. Specifically, research has shown that NAC increases the mucocilary clearance rate by 35% when compared to no effect by placebo. With this property NAC is very useful for people with a chronic cough, chronic congestion, chronic sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, COPD, allergies, etc. In people with COPD NAC showed a reduction in the following symptoms: viscosity of sputum, severity of coughing, the number of bacteria in the airways, the number and severity of influenza-like episodes. It is also a potent antioxidant, liver protector and enhances detoxification.

Newer research has been looking at NAC as a treatment for mood disorders like depression and OCD. There have been promising results thus far and clinically it can be very helpful.

NAC is a precursor to glutathione in the body which is the main antioxidant in our system that prevents oxidative damage to cells. It is important to note that it is thought that if taking NAC orally it will help enhance glutathione production. When looking to boost glutathione levels we prefer to use intravenous (IV) forms. In cases where we recommend NAC we also tend to recommend avoiding mucous forming foods such as: cow and goat dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, yogurt), eggs, refined sugars and occasionally orange juice, bananas and peanuts. This helps to decrease the formation of mucous before it starts. Saline sprays and nasal irrigation can help as well to decrease congestion directly and food sensitivities may cause inflammation that can aggravate symptoms as well.

4500 hectares of grassland protected in Columbia Valley Conservation project protects grasslands on the Columbia Valley’s oldest working cattle ranch For the Townsman

A conservation-minded couple has partnered with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to protect more than 11,000 acres (4,500 hectares) of grasslands on their Columbia Valley ranch.

Bob and Barb Shaunessy are the owners of SRL-K2 Ranch, a working cattle ranch that dates back to 1898.

The Shaunessys have spent years restoring the ranch’s grasslands to their former vitality, efforts which have culminated in the establishment of a conservation covenant on a large portion of the ranchlands.

The conservation covenant, which is held by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, protects the lands from the biggest ecological threats that valley-bottom lands in the East Kootenay face: subdivision and development.

Located on the west side of Windermere Lake, the SRL-K2 Ranch Conservation Project ensures that much of the west side will remain free of the development pressures that have significantly altered the ecology of the east side of the lake.

“This conservation project protects high-value lands for elk, badger, grizzlies and other wide-roaming animals that move through the Columbia Valley. These are animals that residents of the area hold near and dear to our hearts, and ensuring they can move safely across and through the valley is

so important,” says Nancy Newhouse, Director of Conservation and Canadian Rockies Program Director for the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

“At more than 11,000 acres, the SLR-K2 Ranch conservation covenant is also now the largest covenant that the Nature Conservancy of Canada holds in British Columbia.

“We are very grateful to be working with Bob and Barb Shaunessy to realize our shared commitment to creating a conservation legacy on these valley-bottom lands.”

The Shaunessys have long welcomed non-motorized use of parts of their property, and are currently working with the regional district to establish a Legacy Trail that would cross through the covenanted land and connect Invermere to Fairmont Hot Springs.

“Ever since purchasing the ranch we have been committed to restoring and conserving this land,” said Bob Shaunessy. “As the oldest working cattle ranch in the Columbia Valley, dating to 1898, the K2 Ranch deserved to be restored to her former glory. We are delighted that our partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada means that this property will remain intact over the long term.”

The Nature Conservancy of Canada will continue to work closely with the Shaunessys to enhance the conserva-

In particular, these lands are frequented by wide-ranging animals moving both east-west and north-south through the valley, including elk, deer, badger, bobcat and bear.

Scientists: Good evidence for 9th planet in solar system MARCIA DUNN Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Scientists reported Wednesday they finally have “good evidence” for Planet X, a true ninth planet on the fringes of our solar system.

The gas giant is thought to be almost as big as Neptune and orbiting billions of miles beyond Neptune’s path - distant enough to take 10,000 to 20,000 years to circle the sun.

This Planet 9, as the

two California Institute of Technology researchers call it, hasn’t been spotted yet. They base their findings on mathematical and computer modeling, and anticipate its discovery via telescope within five years or less.

The two reported on their research Wednesday in the Astronomical Journal because they want people to help them look for it.

“We could have stayed quiet and quietly

spent the next five years searching the skies ourselves and hoping to find it. But I would rather somebody find it sooner, than me find it later,” astronomer Mike Brown told The Associated Press.

“I want to see it. I want to see what it looks like. I want to understand where it is, and I think this will help.”

Once it’s detected, Brown insists there will be no Pluto-style planetary debate. Brown

ought to know; he’s the so-called Pluto killer who helped lead the charge against Pluto’s planetary status in 2006.

(It’s now officially considered a dwarf planet.)

His colleague in this latest Planet 9 report, also from Caltech in Pasadena, is planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin.

“For the first time in more than 150 years, there’s good evidence that the planetary census of the solar system is

incomplete,” Batygin said, referring to Neptune’s discovery as Planet 8.

The two based their findings on the fact that six objects in the icy Kuiper Belt, or Twilight Zone on the far reaches of the solar system, appear to be influenced by only one thing: a real planet.

Brown actually discovered one of these six objects more than a decade ago, Sedna, a large minor planet way out there on the solar system frontier.

“This is a prediction.

What we have found is a gravitational signature of Planet 9 lurking in the outskirts of the solar system,’ Batygin said. ”We have not found the object itself,“ he stressed, adding that the actual discovery when it happens will be ”era-defining.“ Added Brown: “We have felt a great disturbance in the force.”

Depending on where this Planet 9 is in its eggshaped orbit, a space telescope may be need-

ed to confirm its presence, the researchers said. Or good backyard telescopes may spot it, they noted, if the planet is relatively closer to us in its swing around the sun. It’s an estimated 20 billion to 100 billion miles from us.

The Caltech researchers prefer calling it Planet 9, versus the historical term Planet X. The latter smacks of “aliens and the imminent destruction of the Earth,” according to Brown.

The orb - believed to

be 10 times more massive than Earth and 5,000 times more massive than dwarf Pluto may well have rings and moons.

The last real planet to be discovered in our solar system was Neptune in 1846. Pluto, discovered in 1930, was once the 9th planet but is now considered a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. It was visited by Earth for the first time last July; NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accomplished the first-ever flyby.

Dealing with Downturn – Is Infrastructure Spending the Answer?

S

Many parts of Canada, such as the big cities, would benefit from infrastructure but are less in need of stimulus. Does anyone think that Toronto’s construction industry needs a boost? Is there anyone in Montreal, Vancouver or Ottawa who can find a builder in the next six months?

Last week, oil prices fell to a 12-year low of US$29.32 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate, while Western Canadian Select declined to US$17.00 per barrel.

Iron ore prices have plummeted from $190 a ton in 2011 to just $37 today, and copper prices have fallen from $4.50 a pound to below $2.00 last week.

Economists keep revising down their expectations for Canadian growth.

If we’re using infrastructure dollars to offset the employment impact of fallen commodity prices, then the program should be concentrated in places like Fort McMurray and Calgary, which may not be optimal. But, if we’re going to be investing such important sums, we have to make sure they will benefit Canada’s trade capabilities. The program can have a much bigger impact than just temporary job alleviation.

By Hendrik Brakel

ound the alarm! The Canadian economy is weaker than expected, shrinking by 0.5% in September and essentially flat in October, as natural resource prices are crashing right across the board.

With all this weakness, the government is under pressure to speed up its infrastructure spending to stimulate our troubled economy.

We all know the argument: during the great recession of 2009, governments invested huge sums to replace private activity with public. In 2009, the American government spent $105 billion on infrastructure, and Canada spent $13 billion, with a focus on “shovel ready” projects that could begin right away.

U.S. studies showed some of the projects may not have been all that useful, but the overall stimulus effects prevented a much worse downturn. Canada’s stimulus also showed positive but mixed results, providing an economic boost at a critical time.

Mark Twain once said, “The past rhymes but it doesn’t echo.” Our current economic concerns may seem the same as those of eight years ago, but they are not. Buying short term employment with infrastructure spending is the perfect medicine for dealing with a credit crisis but it’s not a strategy to help an economy adjusting to commodity prices which are low and may stay low for a long time.

The point is that infrastructure absolutely can improve Canada’s economic performance. An Institute for Research on Public Policy study shows a sustained 10% increase in infrastructure investment could reduce manufacturing production costs by 5% per year—that’s like boosting Canada’s productivity by 5%! The same study indicated the returns on investment in public infrastructure could be as high as 17% to 25%.

Properly done—meaning planned carefully for economic goals rather than political ones—this proposed infrastructure program could be historic for Canada, significantly changing our competitive situation for the better. But those gains can only happen if we spend on trade enabling, economically productive infrastructure— roads, ports, technology, transport corridors and borders. So let’s not rush infrastructure dollars out the door, just for the sake of spending, because the stimulus effects, much like the projects, will be disappointing.

n the three weeks leading up to Christmas I was at our two local post offices about eight times.

I am not really much of a shopper much less an online shopper. After observing the constant flow of online packages I spent time surfing the net to see just what could be purchased online.

Since 2002, spending on health has increased each year by an average of 4.5 per cent, while MSP rates have increased by an average of 2.6 per cent a year. Every Province has to collect enough from its citizens to pay the increasing costs of health care, regardless of what form of tax is used in each province.

JULIE WATSON Associated Press

SAN DIEGO - The U.S. Navy is launching a carrier strike group to be powered partly by biofuel, calling it a milestone toward easing the military’s reliance on foreign oil. But critics, including environmentalists, say biofuel production is too costly and on a large scale may do more harm than good.

Most of the group’s ships will run on a mix of 90 per cent petroleum and only 10 per cent biofuels, though that could change. The Navy originally aimed for the ratio to be 50/50.

NEWS AUTOMOTION

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Wednesday were inspecting the ships before they set sail off San Diego.

“In 2010, we were losing too many Marines in convoys carrying fossil fuels to outposts in Afghanistan, and the prohibitive cost of oil was requiring us to stop training at home in order to keep steaming abroad, a dangerous and unsustainable scenario,” Mabus said in a statement.

The Defence Department uses 90 per cent of the energy consumed by

the federal government, spending billions of dollars annually on petroleum fuels to support military operations.

All military branches are looking to cut their ties to foreign oil as part of a national security strategy. Since 2008, the Navy has cut oil consumption by 15 per cent since 2008 and the Marine Corps has reduced it by 60 per cent.

The Navy is aiming to draw half its power from alternative energy sources by 2020 so ships can refuel less, stay out at sea longer and no T:10.333” longer be at the mercy of fluctuating

US Navy launches carrier group powered partly by biofuels oil prices and oil-producing nations, Mabus said.

The federal government has invested more than $500 million into drop-in biofuels, which can be used without reconfiguring engines. The fleet also includes nuclear vessels, hybrid electric ships and aircraft powered partly by biofuels.

The Navy in 2009 called for ships to run on 50 per cent biofuel and 50 per cent petroleum. After that, the price for a barrel of oil topped $100 and has since dropped to as low as $29 a barrel.

Retired Navy Capt. Todd “Ike” Keifer, who has published a study on the Navy’s plan, said he does not believe the Navy will ever get “any meaningful quantities of cost-competitive biofuels.”

“Biofuels sound good, but it turns out that making carbohydrates (biomass) into hydrocarbons (ideal fuels) is a very laborious and wasteful process that is far more costly and much harder on the environment than producing fossil fuels,” he said.

BC Hydro’s wireless grid system was officially complete at the end of 2015, with a total cost the Crown utility now projects to be $777 million.

That’s $153 million below the original budget, said Greg Reimer, executive vice president, transmission, distribution and customer service for BC Hydro. It includes all the elements required by the B.C. government when it ordered the installation of the smart meter system as part of its Clean Energy Act in 2010.

Reimer said in an interview the system has also exceeded the $70 million in savings projected for the first three years of operation.

“We’ve realized about $100 million in benefits during that time, particularly from operational savings,” Reimer said. “Customers

are getting more accurate bills. We’ve reduced our manual meter reading reads and our bill estimates. Meter reading and billing is automated through the system.”

The smart grid had its severest test at the end of August 2015 when a windstorm brought down thousands of drought-weakened trees, leaving 700,000 customers on southern Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland without electricity.

Power was restored to all areas in five days, which was half the time it took to recover from the December 2006 windstorm that flattened trees in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, Reimer said. The 2006 storm blacked out only half the number of homes of the 2015 event.

Reimer said the ability to test an entire power line after one break is repaired means the

crew doesn’t have to drive the rest of the line, and can move to the next confirmed problem when repairing storm damage.

BC Hydro has defended its power theft savings after NDP energy critic Adrian Dix questioned them. In a recent letter to BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald, Dix said the company’s estimate of power theft by marijuana growers was “magically” inflated by then-energy minister Rich Coleman in 2006, then increased again in the utility’s 2011 business case for the wireless system.

Reimer said the business case projected a 75 per cent reduction in power theft, and the reduction for this fiscal year is projected at 80 per cent, as the smart grid detects actual power consumption and compares it to billed amounts.

Science

US: 2015 was hottest on Earth by a wide margin Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON Last year wasn’t just the Earth’s hottest year on record - it left a century of high temperature marks in the dust.

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and NASA announced Wednesday that 2015 was by far the hottest year in 136 years of record keeping.

NOAA said 2015’s temperature was 58.62 degrees Fahrenheit (14.79 degrees Celsius), passing 2014 by a record margin of 0.29 degrees.

That’s 1.62 degrees above the 20th-century average. NASA, which

measures differently, said 2015 was 0.23 degrees warmer than the record set in 2014.

Because of the wide margin over 2014, NASA calculated that 2015 was a record with 94 per cent certainty, about double the certainty it had last year when announcing 2014 as a record.

Although 2015 is now the hottest on record, it was the fourth time in 11 years that Earth broke annual marks for high temperature.

“It’s getting to the point where breaking record is the norm,” Texas Tech climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe

said. “It’s almost unusual when we’re not breaking a record.”

Scientists blame a combination of El Nino and increasing manmade global warming.

Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University said a strong El Nino, like this year’s, can add about a third of a degree of warming to Earth’s temperature.

“Records will happen during El Nino years due to the extra warming boost they provide,” Mann said in an email. “That boost of warmth however sits upon the ramp of global warming.”

And it’s likely to hap-

pen this year, too. NASA scientists and others said there’s a good chance that this year will pass 2015 as the hottest year on record, thanks to El Nino.

“2015 will be difficult to beat, but you say that almost every year and you get surprised,” said Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at the College of DuPage outside of Chicago.

Measurements from Japan and the University of California at Berkeley also show 2015 is the warmest on record. Satellite measurements calculate that last year was only the third hottest since 1979.

Fossils from Kenya reveal a 10,000-year-old massacre Associated Press

NEW YORK - Scientists have found grisly evidence of a massacre in Kenya about 10,000 years ago, providing rare evidence of violence between groups in ancient hunter-gatherer societies.

Researchers said the discovery casts light on the poorly understood roots of warfare.

Evidence of violence appeared in 10 of 12 relatively complete fossil skeletons the scientists found by what used to be the edge of a lagoon.

That included five or six cases of apparent arrow wounds to the head or neck, and five cases where the head was smashed with something like a club. One skull had a sharpened stone still embedded.

The researchers said the wounds would have been fatal immediately or soon thereafter.

Two skeletons didn’t show evidence of vio-

lence but the position of the hands suggested they might have been tied up at the time of death. One was a woman who was preg-

The 12 bodies were adults, and at least four were female. The site also revealed partial remains of at least 15 other people.

The 2012 discovery, made west of Lake Turkana, was reported by scientists at Cambridge University and elsewhere. Writing in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, they said it’s one of the clearest cases of violence between groups among prehistoric hunter-gatherers.

The reason for the violence is not clear. The victims may have been raided for resources, like territory or food stored in pots, the researchers said. Or the violence may have resulted from antagonism between two groups, they said.

Capturing the spiritual sparks of joy I

A n a s ta s t i a B a r t l e t t

heard the tale end of a radio program discussing a ‘new’ de-junking process where the owner is supposed to hold every item in the house and determine if it strikes a ‘spark of joy’. If it doesn’t, it’s gone. The concept made sense from a materialistic point of view, except for practical items. My toaster doesn’t give me a spark of joy but I will hang onto it because it doesn’t give me a spark of electric shock either.

Anyway, I was bemused to hear the term ‘spark of joy’, because that’s what I’ve been trying to collect; spiritual sparks of joy, things that make me happy, however briefly.

For instance, catching a whiff of patchouli makes me happy, as does the smell of incense on my husband’s clothing after he has assisted at liturgy. The sound of my grandchildren’s laughter lights up my insides especially when combined with their spontaneous smiles and big eyes.

A spring breeze on my face, the

touch of a loved one, the taste of fresh pomegranate juice, can bring joy and remind me the kingdom of heaven is all around.

John the Baptist preached “...

Repent ye: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2).

He knew who Jesus was.

When asked when the Kingdom of heaven would appear, Jesus replied, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you (or ‘among you’).” (Luke 17:21).

Paul defined the Kingdom, “For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

(Romans 14:17).

My joy is still just sparks. But with sparks of joy, come also stabs of pain. Something that can sparks joy as I recall a loved one, may also bring to mind the pain and disappointments they have experienced over the years or that they are going through now.

Once there was a time when I could physically reach out and hug

them, to help them feel better or to hold them as they cried. But now... my arms aren’t long enough. I need the peace of the Holy Spirit.

If I can learn to see the Kingdom around me, then Lord willing, I can experience the peace to let God take care of my loved ones, while I love them through Him. But in order to experience the peace and joy, I need righteousness. I need to pray and, I have to

admit, I don’t pray for others near as much as I should.

I am too easily distracted by other things, things which take away my attention from God and the Kingdom of Heaven and which, in turn, can quench the sparks of joy.

Righteousness can grow in communion with others, because this is not a solo journey. I dutifully attend services but I am not always there in spirit or in love.

I learned this weekend the only time the word ‘hypocrite’ is used in the Bible is when Jesus uses it to describe the pharisees. Back then, it meant ‘actor’.

Basically, Jesus was criticizing the pharisees for going through the motions of accepted behaviour without actually connecting to God. That is what I am at times, an actor going through the motions without understanding or love, without connecting to the Kingdom of heaven all around me.

All that I do, prayer, serving others, loving others, communion with others has to come from my

heart, otherwise all my righteousness is as filthy rags. But where do I start, joy, peace or righteousness?

Step one; believe the Kingdom of heaven is here and behave as though I am in the presence of God every second. Step two; love others, help them and allow them to help me. Step three; pray always. Step four; collect sparks of joy to illuminate my sight... so I can see the reality of the Kingdom and know I am in God’s presence.... and can love others.... while always praying.... and basking in the joy of the Holy Spirit..... ‘cause I’m in the kingdom of heaven and in the presence of God,.... loving others.....

I guess I just need to jump in anywhere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Let your mind drift, and ideas will come to you. It will be even more effective to work with several friends who process things the same way. You will see your resourcefulness and confidence evolve. Tonight: One-on-one relating can only add to the positive vibes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be direct in how you deal with others. The best way to proceed, especially if you really care about the results, is to initiate a oneon-one conversation. Share the outcome with a close friend.

Make sure that you both are on the same page. Tonight: In the limelight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have the unique opportunity to open up a situation. You might need to use flattery to break

someone’s resistance to having a conversation. You will realize that the two of you simply are on different pages. State your thoughts clearly. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ambitious agenda could be waylaid by a need to be more self-indulgent. Be sure to schedule breaks -- and take them. Your effectiveness will be enhanced as a result. Use extreme caution with your financial dealings. Tonight: Get some much-needed personal time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are inspired because of your ability to daydream and fantasize. Don’t be surprised if you hear others wondering about where these ideas have come from. Make time for a child or a new friend. This act alone will make your life easier. Tonight: Let your imagination lead the way.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a healthy, active, 68-year-old divorced man, still employed and productive. About a year ago, I met “Caroline,” a pleasant, generous, compatible woman, and have since enjoyed her company on a regular basis.

We spent Christmas together in Europe. It was lovely.

Unfortunately, there is one problem that drives me crazy: Caroline is a compulsive talker. It doesn’t matter if we’re in a movie theater, we’re watching a TV show or I’m trying to read the newspaper. She just starts yakking in my ear. I try to ignore it, but she goes right on. She doesn’t get the hint that I’m not interested in chatting at that precise moment.

How do I tell her nicely to shut up for a while? -- Patient But Tired Dear Patient: Might Caroline have a hearing problem? Is she insecure and believes she has to fill all the silences between you? The next time she does this, you should gently hold her hand and say, “Caroline, it would be nice for us to watch this show together. Can we talk when it’s over?” If she persists, you might ask her to see her doctor to have her hearing checked. Later, when you have some peaceful time together, tell her how much you enjoy just spending quiet time in her company and how nice it is that the silence is comfortable. This will help reinforce the behavior you want. But make sure to pay attention to her when you are, in fact, having a conversation. Some people chatter endlessly because they feel that their words are being ignored.

Dear Annie: You published that silly cost of the 12 days of Christmas and once again, eight maids a milking were being paid $58 -- minimum wage for the past three years.

This is so wrong! I milked cows on a dairy farm for 15 years, and let me tell you, it is a skilled occupation. I went to milking school. And it pays more than minimum wage. I was paid $12 when the federal minimum wage was $5.60. And what about the cost of those cows? Why isn’t that included? A dairy cow costs at least $1,500, so eight of them -- one for each maid -- would be $12,000. However, if the gift-giver bought the cows, he would have to hire at least one milkmaid full time. This should be corrected. -- Anne in Pennsylvania Dear Anne: We truly enjoyed your letter. We rarely hear from someone who worked as a milkmaid. And of course, how much the milkmaids receive each day would depend on how many hours they worked. Also, nothing in the song indicates that the gift-giver included cows.

Only the maids-a-milking. Since the song was first published in 1780, we assume the recipient already had cows.

The figures we printed came from the PNC Bank (originally the Provident National Bank in Philadelphia), which calculates maids-a-milking as unskilled labor, and thus they are paid minimum wage. We will be happy to pass along your claim that they are skilled labor and therefore entitled to more money.

We’re still chuckling. Thank you so much for writing. You made our day.

REX JENKS

October 29, 1930 January 14, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rex Jenks in Canal Flats, BC. Rex was born in Cardston, Alberta on October 29, 1930. He was predeceased by his mother Ellen, father Jim, sister Avril Lobban and brother Ed. Rex will be greatly missed by his brother Bill (Bev), sons Dallas, Bert and Bart as well as his granddaughters, Lori and Jennifer and grandson Max along with his nieces and nephews.

Rex was an amazing father and grandfather. He loved fishing, camping, golfing and working on cars. He did not like to sit still for very long, preferring to always be doing something. Rex was in the armed forces before returning to Kimberley to raise his children and where he began working as a millwright for Cominco (Teck) until his retirement.

Rex moved to Canal Flats to be closer to his grandchildren and enjoyed the quiet life the area provided.

There will be no service but a Celebration of Life will be held at the Kimberley Elks Hall on Saturday, January 30, 2016 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

She resided in Cranbrook the remainder of her life. Mary and Tom, along with beloved dog Bobo, enjoyed many camping adventures throughout BC, Alberta & northern Washington, Idaho & Montana. Camping was a new experience for Mary and one that she embraced. They did travel back to the UK as Tom was also born in Hull, England.

Upon her arrival to Cranbrook, Mary became very involved with the Christ Church Anglican Parish and served as Secretary for a number of years. She was an avid and talented knitter and many enjoyed her perfectly knitted socks. She also enjoyed gardening, especially loving her roses.

Adara Maria Jane Palmer 2000 – 2016

Joyce Cumming April 3, 1924 – January 9, 2016

It is with extremely sorrowful hearts that we announce the passing of our much loved daughter Adara Palmer on Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 15 years of age in Cranbrook.

Joyce Cumming passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 9, 2016 at the age of 91.

Joyce was born and raised in Whitley Bay, England on April 3, 1924. While in the land army during World War II, Joyce met her husband Johnny. She delivered their first child, David, during a bombing at home because they couldn’t make it to a hospital. She came to Canada as a war bride in 1946 on the Queen Mary. They settled in the lower mainland, having her daughter Davene in Nanaimo, before moving to Prince George. Joyce began working at Woolworths while in Prince George where she worked for 31 years transferring to Ottawa and Vernon before retiring in Salmon Arm. While working at Woolworths, she always bought her grandchildren the latest fad toys that were popular, including Cabbage Patch Kids. After Johnny died, Joyce moved to Cranbrook in 2004 to be closer to her family. Joyce loved her sweets and always made sure there was a trifle to finish every family meal. She couldn’t carry a tune but loved music and sang like no one was listening. She was early for everything, singalongs and parades alike to get the best seats. She had a fierce love for her family and was a very proud mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt.

Joyce is predeceased by her husband of 50 years John, son-in-law Paul and grandson-in-law David.

She is survived by her son David (Marilyn) and daughter Davene, grandchildren Kathy (Barry), Kerry (Aaron), Cherie, Shane (Jessica) and Tobi (Tony), great grandchildren Barbara-Lynn (Dylan), Dalton, Chance, Mikayla, Bailey, Mackenzie, Fisher, Michael, Lennox and Levi as well as all her family in England with whom she kept in constant contact.

There will be a family internment at a future date.

Carole Ann Uhll 1941 – 2016 It is with great sadness our family announces Carole’s passing on Monday, January 18, 2016, with her family by her side.

Tily, Logan Marie 2014-2016 In the early hours of Thursday January 14, 2016, Logan Marie Tily, passed away peacefully. Logan was born in Cranbrook, to parents Dustin and Kaila Tily.

Logan was the Happiest baby in the world, her big blue eyes lit up the room and she looked like an angel. She wasn’t a shy girl and loved to be with everyone.

She did more in her one short year, than most people do in a life time. Mom and dad took her out fishing, hunting, hiking and camping every chance they got. Logan spent many hours with her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends outdoors enjoying nature.

She will be greatly missed by everyone.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Eagles Hall, 711 Kootenay St. N., on Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 11 am. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.

You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.

What’s up with my children’s love lives?

Hello Wendy: My daughter would like to know if the man she is going to marry will be moving anytime soon to a new job position? I would like to know if my daughter will be getting a full time job position with the company she is currently working for? I would also like to know if my son will meet a new love interest anytime soon? Can your guides tell my daughter and I how many guides and angels we have around us?

Feeling Grateful Dear Feeling Grateful: Thank you for the compliments you and your daughter have bestowed upon my guides and myself; it’s much appreciated. Thank you for the names you have given us to answer your questions, this will help us answer them with a greater accuracy.

We don’t see the man your daughter is currently engaged to moving within the company he is now employed with for a least two years.

Your daughter will be getting a full time job in the late summer of 2016 with the company she is currently employed with.

We do not see your son engaging in a per-

manent long-term relationship in the year 2016. However, we do see him being more outgoing and happier in the late fall of this year. He has had a cruel “blow to his heart” so to speak with the last relationship he was in. He needs some time to recuperate and get his “feet wet” again in the dating game. Let him heal mom and lick his wounds and he will be just fine and ready to look for another permanent relationship with a woman in 2018.

Your daughter has 6 guides and 8 angels around her at this time.

You have 2 angels and 7 guides around you at this time.

Wendy Dear Wendy: I am getting close to retirement age and I am wondering if I should accept a pay out and move to where my son and my grandchildren are. I am torn and feeling rather agitated and anxious about what I should do. I like my job and lifestyle and I will miss some of my friends if I moved away. Can your guides give me some advice on what the best move for me would be? Feeling Agitated and Apprehensive

For further information contact Katherine Hough, Community Literacy Coordinator, 250-420-7596 or khough@cbal.org or cranbrookcoordinator@cbal.org.

Dear Feeling Agitated and Apprehensive: The one thing my guides have taught me over the years is: If you can’t decide what you want to do about a certain issue then don’t do anything. The reason for this is because any decision you make, when you are in this state, is a decision usually based on your emotions and not good down home common sense.

This means you never

lady must decide for herself. He stated that you have a great conASK WENDY nection with your son and grandchildren and Wendy it would give you much Evano pleasure to move and be with them on a more let your emotions make regular basis. You also your decisions for you have a good job that you because we call it being like and you have a good emotionally out of con- social circle that you trol. have created over the I asked my guides years with a few good what they thought you close friends. There is should do and they held no negativity or bleak up their hands saying outlook in either of these this is something the areas. Therefore, what-

ever you do or whatever choice you make you will be happy.

On a personal note I say why not have your cake and eat it to. This means keep your job, enjoy your friends and perhaps take a leave of absence for a while and have a long visit with your son and his wife and your grandchildren.

Then come back home to your friends and job and social calendar and decide what you want. I feel that working is good

for all of us that are getting closer to retirement.

It keeps us young and doesn’t get us into that boring funk of a routine, which can tend to make some people depressed, or sluggish and lazy with no incentive in life. This means some people love retirement and then there are others like myself that never want to retire. I love what I do and I really like the people I meet on a daily basis in my profession.
