Protesters voice opposition to deer cull TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Protesters voiced their opposition to a recent deer cull in Cranbrook during a rally at City Hall last Friday afternoon.

The group, which decried the recent culling of 20 deer conducted over the last six weeks, is urging city council to consider non-lethal options.

One of the main sticking points with the cull is that it was a decision made in-camTREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO era and not debated publicly, City Hall was visited by a few dozen protesters on Friday afternoon, as concerned citizens voiced said Rebecca Cayenne, one of their opposition to a recent urban deer cull in Cranbrook. Organizers want to see council adopt the organizers of the protest. non-lethal solutions for dealing with urban deer in Cranbrook.

Youths arrested for break and enter and theft RCMP

In the early morning hours of January 22, Cranbrook RCMP received a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence where a suspicious fire had been reported four days earlier.

The quick response by officers led to the arrest of two Cranbrook youths and seizure of offence related property.

One youth was released before a Judicial Justice of the Peace with strict conditions while the other youth has been held in custody and is scheduled to appear in Court on January 25.

Cranbrook RCMP have determined both offences are related and the residence was targeted.

The investigation is ongoing.

Province recruiting 300 more nurses for Interior Health Tre vor Cr awley

Twenty Questions Answered

The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Kimberley Daily Bulletin, in our ongoing mission to reflect the community, are pleased to present “20 Questions,” answered by those individuals who make our community great — which is everybody. We don’t intend to stop until we’ve covered everybody.

This week, Jaime Gordon — Green Door Catering in Kimberley.

1. Soup? Or salad?

Depends, if the soup is creamy with potatoes then it’s the sure winner. But if the salad has the right balance of crunchy, salty, sweet then I’m sold. Both? Please?

2. Who is your favourite, or most notable to you, Cranbrook/Kimberley personality?

Darren Shaben! He has become a friend now but I still get excited when I hear him on the radio.

3. What superpower do you desire?

Instant Clean! The power to clean up any mess instantaneously with my mind.

4. Least favourite Kimberley street I don’t think I have a least favorite street but I sure don’t like my alley before the plow comes through. But when the snow is thick and kinda turning beige we pretend that we are walking on the beach.

5. Favourite Kimberley Street The Platzl for sure, I’ve always been a downtown girl. Sometimes it’s full of people buzzing around, shopping, talking, I love it. But there are also times when it’s perfectly silent, empty and it’s beautiful.

6. If the East Kootenay should become its own country, where should the capital be?

Kimberley of course! Being the capital would be great for tourism, and that’s a good thing for everyone!

7. Are you tempted to feed the deer on a cold day, even though you know it’s wrong?

I live in an area in town where there are lots of fruit trees, they don’t need my handouts. I planted lots of hops a couple years ago so they stay out of our yard.

They are beautiful beasts but I like to keep my distance as much as possible.

8. One person, living or dead, you’d like to have an alcoholic beverage with?

Anthony Bourdain, he has such a great attitude regarding food, the restaurant industry and he is not scared to put anything in his mouth! I attended a lecture of his once in Calgary, he is one of my favorite people. He has made himself the best job, he gets to travel the world eating glorious food and people pay him for it. I’m

Jaime Gordon jealous of his life.

9. Do you shovel as soon as the snow falls and then shovel again, or wait until the storm is over?

You gotta wait, but not too long. Actually, my husband does the shovelling, probably because I’m waiting out the storm….

10. What’s a great new idea for Cranbrook/Kimberley tourism?

We should really be highlighting our restaurants, we have lots of great places to eat and hopefully we will start getting known as a foodie destination. Pair that with our great natural attractions and outdoor activities and you’ve got a winning idea.

11. Kimberley, a good place to …?

Own your own business! I have often said that Kimberley creates entrepreneurship, this town is a great place to set up shop, ideas are accepted and supported

by Kimberlites and our shop local initiatives really work. I love owning my own business, and it never would have happened if I stayed in Calgary.

12. Who’s your favourite Kimberley musician or band?

Ooh that’s a tough one! We see a lot of musicians coming through the Green Door. I will feel bad if I don’t mention all

of them, so I will say Dustin Mousseau. He is one of the most original human beings I’ve ever met. I’m a lucky girl to be able to call him a friend!

13. Sports car or pickup truck?

Pick up truck! I don’t drive, but in this area of the world you need a truck. It’s the only way you can get to some of the most beautiful places. Although I can do some pretty awesome van camping too!

14. Favourite season of the year and why?

Summer — I love swimming in our lakes and it’s our busiest time of year. And camping, oh I love camping!

15. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an actress. Funny, now that I think about it, I am an actress. In the catering industry it’s all about staging and pulling off a show. I do surround myself with our local thespians, they are a wacky talented bunch!

16. If you could tell a visitor to the East Kootenay anything, what would you say?

Be prepared to fall in love with this area, it’s pretty easy to see how happy we are because we live here.

17. Have you ever had an encounter with wildlife in the East Kootenay? If yes, describe in a sentence.

Oh geez it’s a bear, oh look how cute he is, wait let’s get outta here!

18. Favourite album of all time? Why? Heather Blush and the Uppercuts, Vice and Versa. I have loved Heather’s music for years, and one album is fun and quirky while the other is dark and stormy. And she sings about food!

19. Favourite movie of all time? Why? Labyrinth- muppets and David Bowie, ‘nuff said.

20. What is something most people won’t already know about you?

I was a synchronized swimmer in my youth. I was on the Calgary Aquabelle Team when Michelle Cameron and Carolyn Waldo won gold in the Olympics. They were like our cool older sisters on the team.

Roughly 300 new nursing jobs are coming to Interior Health as part of a pledge between the B.C. government and the BC Nurses Union to create an additional 1,600 positions province-wide.

“Nurses are important, highly-skilled members of health care teams throughout British Columbia, and today’s announcement acknowledges their integral role in the health system,” said Health Minister Terry Lake.

“Over the past year, we have been working closely with nurses to make health care improvements that benefit both patients and staff.

We are confident this spirit of partnership will continue as we work together on a new collective agreement that meets the goals of nurses, health authorities and the Province.”

The Ministry of Health, the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) and BCNU hope to have the positions created by the end of March.

“To nurses who are trying to provide safe patient care while working short in ERs and operating rooms and nurses who cope with overwhelming workloads, this agreement means that relief is on the way,” said Gayle Duteil, president of the BCNU. “I

urge nurses who are working casual and who want a permanent position to send an email today to: hireanurse@ bcnu.org. BCNU is supporting the hiring process by providing a first point of contact for all qualified nurses.”

Fraser Health will get the lions share of the recruitment targets with 400 positions, while Providence Health Care—based in Vancouver—will recruit for 80 positions.

“Nurses are a key pillar of BC’s health care system, delivering quality treatment to thousands of patients every day throughout the province,” said HEABC president and chief executive officer David Logan. “This recruitment effort will contribute immensely to maintaining these high standards while supporting our current efforts at the bargaining table as we work to reach a collective agreement over the next couple of months that serves the primary aim of providing the best care possible to British Columbians.”

Last year, $5 million was allocated towards specialty nursing training for emergencyy room, obstetric and neonatal services as part of an agreement between the Ministry of Health, the HEABC and the BCNU.

Protesting the deer cull in Cranbrok From Page 1 “We are a little upset that it was done in secrecy, which cost us $10,000 funding from the Animal Alliance,” Cayenne said. “We are amazed at the support, and we’d have a lot more people here, but a lot of people are shift-workers and couldn’t come on their lunch, but we appreciate everyone.”

Cayenne was referencing the $10,000 in funding that Animal Alliance of Canada has committed to a regional urban deer translocation trial project, which will soon be conducted

by VAST Resource.

In a recent letter to project stakeholders from Ian Adams, a wildlife biologist with VAST Resource, the $10,000 isn’t being pulled from the project, however it is going towards radio collars that will be used in Kimberley and Elkford.

Translocation is an option that Cayenne hopes council will consider.

“There are quite a few successful translocation projects in the States,” Cayenne said.

“We don’t think that it should be done in secrecy, we would like them to actually sit down with us, discuss it, work together and let us know what’s going on.” “…Hazing is a great option. Kimberley had the trial hazing, it worked wonders, we’d love to see something

like that. Translocation, there are options for birth control as well.

There are plenty of options, more humane to help.”

Cayenne also noted that the public needs to take responsibility when living and interacting with urban deer in the city.

“I think the big thing is education. Know what’s in your yard, there are a lot of people complaining about deer eating their plants and trees and stuff like that,” she said. “There are a lot of shrubs and plants that deer don’t go near. There’s a lot of ways to deer-proof your yard. Educate yourself on deer behaviour, make sure your pets are on a leash.”

This latest deer cull is the fourth cull the City of Cranbrook has conducted. A cull was canceled last March after four clover traps that were used to capture the deer were vandalized.

According to a city report, there were 137

C AROLYN GR ANT

My name is Jason van Zyl, I am in Grade 10, and I play the part of Angel in the upcoming Selkirk production of Rent (School Edition). I am excited that our school chose to do this musical and I am looking forward to the challenge of playing the character of Angel. This is my third musical at Selkirk Secondary School. I played the part of the Beast in last year’s production of Beauty and the Beast.

Rent is a rock musical that focuses on issues facing the poor and homeless in New York City in the late 1980’s.

This is a time when HIV and AIDS were becoming a problem amongst the poor in New York.

Angel is a transvestite living in New York.

As you can imagine taking on a role like this has been a challenge. It is hard for me to play the role of a transvestite. I have had to learn how to walk in heels, how to sing in a higher range, wear tons of makeup, and be confident while doing all those things.

Costumes are another extremely important part of this character.

Angel is stylish, but doesn’t have the money to buy top-of-the-line clothing. Laura Stoddart has done a great job of finding costumes that look fashionable, but on a budget. Keep in mind this is also the 80’s.

Local NEWS PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3843, 2015”.

The purpose of the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment is to replace the current “Wildstone Neighbourhood Plan” with a new updated plan that reflects the revised vision for the development of the Wildstone neighbourhood area.

Specifically, the new plan will: • Divide the lands into two separate subareas: 1. “Wildstone Subarea” for the areas surrounding the golf course and 2. Highlands Subarea for the lands lying west of Moir Park and provide development policy for each subarea.

• Establish a new phasing strategy for the development through the use of development blocks and associated policies for each Subarea; • Establish minimum and maximum densities for each development block and for the development as a whole; • Establish ‘development districts’ which will guide the type of development for each of the existing and future development pods; • Establish a conceptual trail network for the development; • Remove the lands legally described as Parcel A (See 10856I) of DL 2869, KD Except Parts included in Plans 13711 & 13938 (lands between Echo Field Road and Wildstone) from the neighbourhood plan area.

• Delete and Replace Schedule C3 – Development Permit Areas – Environmentally Sensitive Areas map.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 40 - 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on February 1, 2016.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. Municipal Clerk

The house was full with 120 happy people in the audience.

Barry Garland was the MC for the evening.

The first musician was Jon Bisset and his strong guitar playing on the Bruce Springsteen tune Brothers Under the Bridge. Next was his own song Man With the Endless Smile, followed that with Wheat Kings

by The Tragically Hip “Wheat Kings and pretty things, let’s just see what tomorrow brings”.

Next Van Redecopp, (who named Homegrown wayyy back, to reflect the local talent) accompanied by Arne Sahlen with piano and humour, sang a fine very clear Desperado, a ballad by the Eagles, written by group members Glenn Frey and Don Henley.

(Accidentally very timely; Glenn Frey died Monday Jan 18 at the age of 67.)

The young group Hide in You with Darynn Silver singing and on guitar, Zach Silver on bass guitar and Colton playing interesting rhythms and varying sounds on the drum box, gave us three of their own songs, finishing with Someday We’re Gonna Fall.

The wonderful Selkirk Jazz Choir, who will perform in late February at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho, sang Go To Sleep Little

Baby, then a swinging version of The Longest Time by Billy Joel and finished with beautiful 5 part harmonies on the leisurely paced Woods

by Bon Iver: “I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind. I’m building a still to slow down the time.” They were the group of the evening!

We all wish them well next month.

The usual delicious treats (all fresh baking

by Carol Fergus – Thanks Carol!) and friendly intermission followed in the Art Gallery.

Stuart Campbell led off the second half, reciting two very different poems The Green Eye of The Little Yellow God (By J. Milton Hayes, 1911) and Casey at the Bat (Ernest Thayer, 1888). He then sang the Christmas tune Scarlet Ribbons.

Next followed “Two girls on the run from the law”, songstress Toni Haladaj and Laurel Ralston, piano and harmony; they finished with the theme song from Gone With the Wind, You Will Be My Own True Love. Piano too? How many instruments does Laurel play?

Garry Jacklin added electronic drum and voice harmony to his guitar to give us four songs. Imagine by John Lennon, the 4 Non Blondes What’s Up?, Demons “It’s where my demons hide” by Imagine Dragons and part of Meghan Trainor’s Lips

Are Movin’.

The perennial Kimberley hit group Tuck’s Troubadours, Larry Tuck, Dave Carlson, Doug Simpson and Dud DeCosse finished off the evening. Dave started by poking fun at Arne and Van; a change from the usual abuse of poor Dave. The group gave us Knee Deep by the Zack Brown Band, We’ll Walk in the Irish Rain by The Irish descendants featuring Dave singin’ and pickin’, Larry Tuck singing Gordon Lightfoot’s Song For a Winter’s Night “The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop” and the Don Gibson 1961 tune Sea of Heartbreak. This very tight group finished the evening with a trip down south, Bud singing a tune from Old Mexico.

Barry ended by thanking all the performers, the audience, Ray for sound and Carol for producing the evening and for the intermission goodies.

A wonderful evening with a wide variety of music, guitar, piano, song and poems.

The next Homegrown evening will be Saturday March 8 at 8pm; tickets are a bargain at $8.

The next opportunity to hear live music at Center 64 is Saturday, January 30 when soloist Noemi Kiss performs along with classical guitarist Rita Deane.

This is your province on weed

W

ith unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use.

Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent.

These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying.

At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate.

Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting.

Ottawa will have a “task force” too.

Vancouver descended into a pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools.

Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing BC VIEWS business licences. One recent proposal in the VictoTom ria suburb of View Fletcher Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer.

This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.

Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action.

“There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”

Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.

Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades.

The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak.

Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor Deer Cull Another deer cull — this time including a number of fawns.

Real men do not go after fawns. The ones that do are, in my view, cowards and afraid of their own shadows.

My view is because this was done in so much secrecy. Our mayor and those on council that approved it should resign, actually.

I see a photo in the paper — a doe watching its fawns. They were in the trap that collapsed on them. I remember scenes like that out of World War II — only with people! Women separated from their children at the concentration camps.

I used to have a nice doe that visited me here occasionally. Haven’t seen it some three weeks now. It was peaceful.

Sacred, silent wisdom.

You who believe in and do this evilness — why aren’t you demanding a cull of the Big Horn Sheep up at Radium, in the name of protecting the public. Huh? They walk in town too.

Bavarian theme Congratulations to Kimberley City Council and the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce (formerly known as Bavarian Society), new business owners and other parties.

You have finally managed to bury the concept of the Bavarian Theme in our lovely mountain town. I am not sure if you are aware that over the last 40 years a

great deal of effort and money was spent to promote Kimberley as the Bavarian city of the Kootenays.

We were here almost from the beginning and I can honestly say that over the years thousands and thousands of dollars were being spent to promote this unique concept. Many business owners put in money, time and labour convert their properties to an almost authentic replica of a Bavarian town. We have spent more than a million dollars to rejuvenate the so called Platzl and this should all be forgotten!

Kimberley was different from cities and towns like Cranbrook, Wasa, TaTa Creek etc. You get the picture.

We had a concept and I agree it was not always properly promoted as such, but the idea was there.

Kimberley is a wonderful place. We have golf courses, a great ski area which could use a little help to get visitors, mountain scenery and great back country trails. To compliment this we had a theme which took visitors off the main highway to our town.

Now what do we have? Kimberley, a nice place to be. What nonsense. There are dozens of places in BC which are nice places to be. When a visitor travels Highway 3 and gets the choice to visit Fort Steele, heritage town, and Kimberley, a “nice place to be” it does take much deliberations as to where they will go.

Now on to another subject. The new Kimberley flume which is supposed to harness the floods of the Mark Creek. We call it the “cruise ship terminal” as is is big enough to accommodate a river cruiser. But all fun aside, this is a project which went way out of control. I realize

that the old concrete sluice way which was installed after the major flood in the 40s needed repair, but did we have to build another St. Lawrence Seaway? Mark Creek is a mountain creek and in the spring it brings a lot of water, but in off season is just a tame, little mountain stream. In our 40 years living in Kimberley the creek never even got close to the top of the old concrete flume, which was the design of the day. Can anybody tell me why we have to spend $7 million to improve on something which needed some repair? The original estimate was for a sum of $4 million and it ballooned into this huge expense. Think of it: could we not have repaired most roads in Kimberley for this excessive overrun?

Now I do not entirely blame the new City Council on the mistakes which I think were made over the last few years, but I would have expected the members of council to be a little more enlightened when it comes to branding a new concept and to be more prudent when it comes to spending our tax money on a new river bed for Mark Creek.

Yes I was born in Bavaria, however this is not the reason that I felt so strongly about the theme of Kimberley. I just thought that this was the perfect fit for our lovely mountain town, but unfortunately, it’s all history now.

I am long retired and I should not care one way or the other but I feel this Bavarian concept was an ideal fit for our town and I am sorry to see that it is now past history.

THE EARLY YEARS

Why is Quality Child Care Important?

T

M a ry N o b l e

he East Kootenays is currently facing a crisis in child care.

There are not enough child care spaces, child care is not affordable, there are not enough qualified early childhood educators, and wages and working conditions are not enough to keep early childhood educators in the field.

Child care should be accessible and inclusive to all families and children who want to access the services.

The early years (ages 0-6) are the formative years in a child’s development.

Families, primary caregivers, extended family and child care programs need to provide a healthy environment that promotes physical, social and emotional development. Children who attend quality child care programs as an extension to their time with family and primary caregivers have been proven to: • Be more ready for school — children who receive quality child care enter Kindergarten with better math, language and social skills.

• Have increased opportunities to so-

Tuesday, January 26, 2016 Page 7

cialize with other children their own age.

Gain a sense of self and confidence through play, exploration and experimentation.

• Have increased empathy and understanding of the other person they are playing with. … And much more!

Quality child care benefits everyone —families, employers, businesses, and society as a whole will all benefit in the short and long term.

In the short term, families will have access to quality and affordable care that will enable both parents to return to work, parents will miss less time from work, and early childhood educators will have a positive working environment and

make a living wage. In the long term, access to quality child care fosters a society of individuals who are physically, socially and emotionally healthy.

The East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment (available on www. ekkids.ca) outlines the current crisis with the supporting documents and research. The results of that document are now being distributed to community members and organizations.

The East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Advisory Committee believes that ALL children should have access to affordable and quality child care.

Members of the committee are working with the business community and a variety of other organizations to identify innovative ways to combat our current child care crisis.

For more information on the current state of child care in the East Kootenays please contact Mary Noble, Children First and Success By 6 Regional Coordinator at ekidsfirst@shaw.ca or 250-426-2542.

Dynamiters exact revenge on Rockies

Kimberley Dynamiters double up Columbia Valley Friday; play host to Creston Valley Tuesday as pursuit of home ice continues Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters may have clinched a playoff spot and may be in control of the Eddie Mountain Division, but there’s no stopping until they lock in home-ice advantage for the duration of the KIJHL post-season.

The Dynamiters inched two steps closer towards that goal Friday night, doubling up the Columbia Vally Rockies by a 4-2 margin in KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“We owe it to our fans that support us so well that if it comes to a Game 5, 7 or whatever it may be, that it’s at home,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters. “It’s really important that we take care of trying to get home ice.

Our support is probably the best in the KIJHL this year and we know how important and how much the fans helped us last year.

“That’s probably the biggest thing -- respect our fan base and try to get that extra game at home.”

With 10 games remaining on the KIJHL regular-season slate, the Dynamiters (33-5-0-4) hold a 17-point advantage over the second-place Creston Valley Thunder Cats (2513-1-2) in the Eddie Mountain Division.

Ultimately, the fate of the Nitros is within their own hands. All they need to do is collect five of a possible 20 points over the remaining 10 games to clinch first place in the division.

Within the Kootenay Conference, the Nitros are six points ahead of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (30-9-2-2) for first place. Collecting 13 points over this next stretch will lock down the conference title for Kimberley.

Finally, on the league-wide front, the Dynamiters are six points ahead of the Osoyoos Coyotes (31-9-11) for the KIJHL regular-season crown. Register 15 points and the Nitros hold home-ice

advantage for the duration of the post-season.

Of course, the numbers can and will change on a night-by-night basis, but reality remains the Dynamiters control their destiny when it comes to homeice advantage.

Friday night, Bancks was pleased with the work ethic shown by his squad after the Rockies had given them a lesson the week prior, sending the Dynamiters to a 5-2 loss.

“We worked harder than we did the previous Friday and got rewarded for it,” Bancks said. “Overall, as a group, we played a fairly strong game.”

The Dynamiters built a 3-0 lead over the Rockies courtesy goals from Brodie Buhler, Keenan Haase and Jared Marchi before Colton Sandboe broke the bubble for the visitors midway through the third period.

“Brodie has hung in there, worked really hard and finished all his checks for the last two games, so we put him [in the top six] and he rewarded us with a goal,” Bancks said. “He deserved the chance to play there and we benefitted from it.”

Late in the proceedings, Trevor Van Steinburg -- who was shifted back to the blue line with veteran Justin Meier missing due to a lower-body injury -- registered his sixth of the season to restore the threegoal advantage and put the game out of reach for Columbia Valley. “[Trevor] prefers to play forward, but he’s a team kid who will do whatever it takes for the team,” Bancks said. “It was nice to see him score from the backend.”

Rockies forward Luke Bellerose rounded out the scoring with 1:37 remaining in regulation.

In net, Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer steered aside 17 shots for his league-leading 26th win of the campaign. The victory established a new KIJHL career best for the 20-year-old University of Jamestown commit, who recorded 25 wins last season with the Nitros.

At the other end, Giovanni Sambrielaz stopped 23 of 27 shots for the Rockies.

With only one night’s worth of action over the weekend, the Dynamiters turn their focus to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, who visit the Kimberley Civic Centre Tuesday night.

With only 10 games remaining on the schedule and home-ice advantage one of the targets for the final regular-season stretch run, Tuesday’s outing is of importance when it comes to setting the tone.

“My biggest concern right now, as a group, is we’re fairly inconsistent,” Bancks said. “The difference between the two Fridays [against Columbia Valley] was work ethic. You should never get outworked, in my opinion. That’s the one thing you can control.

You want to be consistent with your work ethic. We need our younger guys to figure that out and be consistent. When they get the opportunity, take advantage of it and go with it like Brodie [Buhler] did the other night.”

The last time the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats met in their well-documented Eddie Mountain Division rivalry, it was Kimberley coming out with a decisive 6-1 win.

“We just skated extremely well,” Bancks said, recalling his team’s Jan. 5 win over Creston Valley.

“Everybody coming back so hard [on the back check], we just kind of frustrated them, I think. We played extremely well defensively, and that’s how it goes -- you play well defensively and you get good goaltending, good things will happen at the other end.

“I think we caught [the Thunder Cats] on a bad night for some reason. They just didn’t seem to have their usual fire.”

The Nitros, already without the services of captain Jason Richter

(upper body) and Trey Doell (thumb), will now forge on without Justin Meier (lower body) and Austyn Moser, who will miss Tuesday’s contest due to personal family reasons. Questionable for the midweek tuneup is James Rota.

With no affiliate players available, Bancks might be forced to oper-

ate with a short bench.

“It will be a challenge with the players we have out,” Bancks said. “But that’s where players have to step up. If you’re going to have success in the playoffs, you’ve got to be hitting on all cylinders.

“It will be a chance for some people who may not have thought they had that big a role

to have a much bigger role. They need to answer the bell.”

Puck drop between the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday evening at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Rebels lose Bleackley as Philp nears return GREG MEACHEM Red Deer Advocate

The Red Deer Rebels’ injury woes continue.

Veteran forward Conner Bleackley was helped off the ice during Saturday’s 4-1 WHL win over the visiting Everett Silvertips with an apparent leg injury and on Monday it was confirmed that he’ll be out of commission for six weeks with a fractured kneecap.

Bleackley experienced a slow start to the season but was impressive in recent weeks to the point where he had risen to third in team scoring with 13 goals and 41 points in 47 games.

“In the last two to three weeks his game was certainly starting to come around and was closer to where we expect it to be,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter.

The injury is just one of many of the longterm variety that have afflicted the Rebels this season. Josh Mahura appeared in two games before undergoing knee surgery, Kayle Doetzel was out for a lengthy period with a lower body injury and Braden Purtill, Taden Rattie, Adam Musil and Evan Poeli have all been out for extensive spans with upper body ailments.

Luke Philp is also inactive, although the overage centre — acquired from the Kootenay Ice Jan. 3 — is expected to return from

Raonic advances at Aussie Open C ANADIAN PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia - Canadian Milos Raonic has advanced to the quarter-finals at the Australian Open after defeating Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka in five sets on Monday.

The 25-year-old Raonic took the match 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-3 in three hours 45 minutes.

It’s the second straight year Raonic has made the quarters in Melbourne.

Raonic, the 13th seed from Thornhill, Ont., will face France’s Gael Monfils next.

ankle surgery in the next two weeks.

“It’s tough, we’re counting the days until we get Luke back and all of a sudden Bleacks goes down,” said Sutter.

“It’s been one of those years where we’ve had lots of injuries, and lots of tough injuries with guys out for a month to six weeks.

“We haven’t got a break on that side of it, but that’s the way it goes. We have to keep fighting through it … weathering through it.”

Bleackley will almost certainly be back prior to the playoffs in late March and Mahura could return before the begin-

ning of the post season.

Still, …

“You just wish you could have some games with your full lineup,” said Suter. “We haven’t had one game like that yet this year. That’s what’s been troublesome — that we can’t get a real strong feel for our team.

“We haven’t been healthy, but what’s getting us by is our depth.

When you consider the injuries we’ve had, we certainly can’t argue with where we are in the standings.”

Sutter expects Philp to be available for duty within 10 days to two weeks, while Rattie should be back — from a fractured fighter — either by this weekend or the following week.

The Rebels conclude a five-game homestand with Friday and Saturday meetings with the Ice and Brandon Wheat Kings.

Woodward’s Foundation makes $27,925 Starlite Gift Submit ted

The East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s eighth annual Starlite Campaign is drawing nearer to a close. However its latest gift couldn’t be more appropriately aligned to the campaign’s focus of supporting regional community health care programs.

The Mr. & Mrs. P. A. Woodward’s Foundation, located in Vancouver, has long been a

strong supporter of health care in the East Kootenay through an alliance it shares with the East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

The Starlite Campaign has received an incredible gift of $27,924 from the foundation to purchase six arterial brachial index machines for the Cranbrook, Kimberley and Golden Health Units and Home Support Programs located in Cres-

ton, Fernie and Sparwood.

ABI machines measure the ratio of the blood pressure in the lower legs to the blood pressure in the arms.

Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg is an indication of blocked arteries (peripheral artery disease).

The ABI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure at the ankle by the systolic blood pressures in the

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3846, 2016”.

The proposed amendment of the Zoning Bylaw will change the zoning of land legally described as Lot 4, Plan NEP 82933, District Lot 10366, Kootenay District, from “RR-4 - Rural Residential (Hobby Farm)” to “RT - Residential Transition Zone”.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber, City Hall, 40 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on February 1, 2016.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

communities in the region.”

The history of the Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward’s Foundation is closely associated with Charles Woodward, Woodward Stores founder. One of his sons, P.A. Woodward, maintained an interest and involvement in the family business throughout his life. He served as Vice President of the Company prior to his retirement.

During the latter part

of their lives, Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward donated to many charitable organizations. There is no complete record of these contributions, but generally the gifts supported education, health and various religious bodies.

In 1951, P.A. established the Woodward Foundation to formalize these activities. On November 8, 1951, he chaired the Foundation’s first board of directors meeting at the

The Mr. & Mrs. P. A. Woodward’s Foundation does not solicit or receive funds from any sources. The assets of the Foundation represent lifetime gifts to the Foundation from the late Mr. and Mrs. Woodward, together with the residue from their estates following the death of Mr. Woodward in 1968 and Mrs. Woodward in 1970. Since then the portfolio continues to grow under the management of the Foundation’s Executive Committee.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your efficiency and graciousness will be tested. You simultaneously could offer your assistance to both a friend and a loved one. You might decide that the facts are being misrepresented. Deal with anger directly, and you will feel better. Tonight: Out late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity saves the day. You might see a confusing situation emerge around a friendship. The facts seems to change, depending on who is telling the story.

A close loved one easily could lose his or her temper. Tonight: Remain gracious, no matter what happens.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There is no way around a problem; you must find the right path.

The information you’re receiving might be far from correct. Ask the right questions, and you will get answers. You will need to learn the lay of the land, and then you’ll know what to do. Tonight: Head home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll make an extraordinary effort to communicate with someone who can be vague and difficult. Your ability to figure out what’s going on will emerge.

Don’t ignore common sense and straight facts. Tonight: Keep asking questions about what you are seeing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could see a somewhat deceptive situation evolve. A key person is telling you only what he or she wants you to know. Lie low, if you can, and wait for more information. A solution will appear, given some time. Tonight: Decide if you can afford a new household item.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your energy is at its peak. Focus on key matters that need to be cleared up. You will accomplish a lot of work as a result. A loved one might add a very caring tone to your day. Be careful with someone you don’t know very well. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You don’t often let others take

Tundra

the lead, but right now you are inclined to do just that. Avoid channeling your disappointment into a shopping spree or some other kind of overindulgence that helps you forget what ails you.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you want. You are willing to fight, cajole or manipulate in order to make a goal possible. Your sense of direction makes it nearly impossible to stop you. A loved one might be feeding you the lines you want to hear, but is not being authentic. Tonight: Be near music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your performance counts far more now than your ideas and leadership skills do. You might be disappointed that you are not being appreciated. Look at the situation positively. Your instincts are right-on. You have no control over how others think. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take an overview and, with newfound detachment, again look at a situation that is affecting your home life. You could be surprised

by how close you are to manifesting a special offer or opportunity.

Don’t stop. Go full speed ahead.

Tonight: Brainstorm with a buddy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

One-on-one relating marks your day. For this reason alone, you’ll have a big smile on your face. Your instincts about a relationship and how you project yourself will help you hit a home run. Someone could be angrier than you had thought possible.

Tonight: Make nice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The smart move is to defer to someone else. You might not agree with this person, but you still should listen to what he or she has to say. Consider the ramifications of heading down your present path. Just because it’s not your way doesn’t mean it’s the wrong way. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’d like to know if this is considered spousal abuse. A young couple become born-again Christians.

The husband decides he wants to go back to school to become a minister. He quits his corporate job and moves his family out of state. His wife supports him and the children for four years as best she can. He graduates and “just can’t find the right job.” He volunteers two days a week counseling people.

In the meantime, they are barely getting by. They don’t have enough money to send the kids to college, and they can’t afford their daughter’s wedding. The husband has decided not to get a paying job because he’s doing “God’s work.” He sleeps late every day and spends hours on the computer writing religious blog posts. His wife works full time and does the cleaning, shopping and all household chores.

I think this is emotional abuse. What do you think? -- Concerned Relative Dear Relative: We think this is not your business. When couples make decisions about who brings in the money, it’s between the two of them. Even if his wife doesn’t like it and is unhappy, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is abusive. Only unequal and frustrating.

Every marriage is different. What is intolerable to you may be manageable for her. We agree it would be worrisome if she feels trapped and unable to change her situation, but you do not indicate that this is the case. There are scholarships, grants and loans available for state and community colleges, and a wedding can be punch and cake in the backyard. Please don’t project your feelings onto her. She may think her marriage is perfectly fine. If you are a close family member, talk to her.

Ask how she’s doing. See what the situation is. If you believe counseling is needed, she may be amenable to discussing things with her clergyperson. And if she gives you the impression that her husband is controlling all the money or her access to family members and friends, please urge her to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799SAFE. Dear Annie: What do I say to people who tell me to smile? The reason I don’t like to smile is because my smile is ugly and I look horrible -- like I’m making a face. How do I get them to stop? -- A Daily Reader Dear Reader: Well, you could grimace and then maybe they’d stop asking, but here’s a different suggestion: If you are embarrassed by your smile, see if something can be fixed. Often, it is as simple as seeing a dentist, or practicing in front of a mirror until you can manage something natural. It’s also possible that you think you have a terrible smile when, in fact, no one else is bothered by it.

Folks who are ashamed of or concerned about their smiles are often self-conscious to the point where it interferes with their social life. This puts you at a tremendous disadvantage. There is no shame in making your life better. Please see what can be done.

Shooter killed by Calgary police after bus driver almost hit

Bill Gr avel and Canadian Press

CALGARY - A near miss involving a transit driver set off a tense confrontation between a shooter and police of-

ficers that led to the gunman’s death.

Police warned residents in the northwest Calgary neighbourhood of Huntington Hills to stay indoors and in their

basements on Sunday afternoon following news of a shooter. Officers in a police helicopter flying over the area used a bullhorn to reinforce the message.

“The service received a 911 call that a Calgary transit bus driver reported a shot fired into the bus that narrowly missed the driver,” police Chief Roger Chaffin

said at a Monday news conference.

“It’s believed that there were five passengers inside that bus, but fortunately no one was injured.”

Bullets being shot from a home also hit a number of surrounding residences.

More than a dozen officers, including members of the tactical

A powerful connection to what matters most.

team, surrounded the home before the gunman was shot and killed.

“Numerous shots were fired indiscriminately from the resident.

Area residents were advised to stay inside and seek shelter,” said Chaffin.

“Officers set up containment while shots continued to be fired from the home,” he said.“Several attempts were made to resolve the situation peacefully; however, the suspect exited the residence and the situation escalated resulting in the discharge of a service firearm ... and killing the suspect.”

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, which reviews police shootings, is investigating.

Chaffin said details about the man, the number of shots fired and the shooting itself won’t be released until the investigation is complete.

The chief said there had been a number of visits to the home in the past, but they were non-criminal in nature and didn’t involve “this level of violence.”

The attack was not related to any gang activity and appears to be “unique to this particular person,” he said.

The officers involved in the shooting are receiving support from their peers and psychological services, he added.
