SPCA tackles Cranbrook cat population crisis BARRY COULTER

The SPCA is reporting enormous strides in dealing with Cranbrook’s enormous cat overpopulation problem.

Over the past year, the East Kootenay SPCA made good use of a Pet

Smart Charities grant of $83,957, to address the issue. The grant helped get outdoor cats sterilize and get several of Cranbrook’s famous colonies of feral felines under control.

But the real focus was on getting owned cats and kittens in Cran-

brook and the surrounding area spayed or neutered, according to BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch manager Brenna Baker.

“We’ve seen significant results and we’re so grateful,” Baker said in an SPCA press release. “The grant

has also helped to raise the value of spaying and neutering, while helping us build relationships with community members and partners.”

In 2015, the East Kootenay SPCA branch took in 552 cats and kittens:

squared areas to collect scientific data. Sites include Elko, Galloway, Rosen Lake, Norbury Lake and McGinty Lake all situated on Crown land.

214 of which were surrendered by owners, the rest were strays. In 2016, intake of stray kittens at the branch dropped by 40 per cent compared to 2015, and more than 750 cats in the area were spayed and neutered.

“We were able to help pet guardians from all walks of life get their cats and kittens sterilized,” Baker says, recalling how she delivered a spay/neuter voucher to a local senior living on a low income with accessibility challenges. When she arrived, she discovered the cat in question had recently had nine kittens.

“Thanks to the grant, we were able to spay and neuter the momma cat and the kittens, and as the kittens were surrendered into our care, they were all adopted into new homes as soon as they were old enough,” Baker says. “This is just one example of how the grant enabled us to make a difference in the lives of cats and cat guardians.”

Not just in Cranbrook but across British Columbia, thousands upon thousands of outdoor cats are abandoned or left to fend for themselves outside, suffering from illness, injury, starvation, predator attacks. The BC SPCA has developed a five-year strategic plan to deal with the issue.

“Even though we’ve seen a significant reduction in the number of unwanted stray kittens in Cranbrook this year, the problem is not yet solved,” said BC SPCA outreach coordinator Marieke van der Velden, who oversees the society’s cat spay/neuter prevention programming for the province.

“We continue to urge all residents to not only have their own cats spayed and neutered, but to also take action to ensure that all stray and feral cats in their community are fixed as well.”

RDEK gets bogged down in solar debate TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The RDEK grappled with a referral from the province over the issue of a solar power company using regional land to collect data on the feasibility of setting up a solar power generating facility.

The board of directors moved to approve the referral from SB Solar Holding Corp., which didn’t gain enough votes. Then, the board tried to vote it down, with the vote tally ending in a tie, meaning that it was defeated.

“We pretty much stuck ourselves in the mud,” RDEK board chair Rob Gay said. “We didn’t support the application, nor were we against it.”

At issue is the use of the land, which involves five 10-metres

CP Rail charged in connection with incident near Revelstoke CP Rail, Mark Jackson and Tim McLelland charged after train allegedly ordered left without brakes near Revelstoke in 2015

Alex Cooper Revelstoke Times Review

CP Rail and two others were charged in connection with an incident where a train was allegedly ordered to be parked without the brakes properly applied near Revelstoke.

The company, along with former Mountain Division superintendent Mark Jackson, and Tim McLelland were charged with two counts of contravening an emergency directive made by the federal Minister of Transport.

They are scheduled to appear in Revelstoke court on Wednesay, Feb. 1.

The charges are in connection with an incident that took place on the night of Feb. 15, 2015, when CP Rail engineers and conductors were about to go on strike.

A search warrant from May 2015 alleges the accused violated the Railway Safety Act by ordering that 57 railway cars, some of which were carrying dangerous goods, be left unattended without the hand brakes properly applied on the tracks near Gree-

ley, 10 kilometres east and uphill from Revelstoke.

The warrant alleges the conductor of the train told rail traffic control they didn’t have time to apply the brakes, but that Jackson responded with an order to leave the train without the brakes applied. The train was later moved without incident.

The conductor of the train notified the union of the issue, who in turn informed Transport Canada of the incident.

Transport Canada investigators first searched CP Rail headquarters in Calgary in May 2015 to obtain recordings from the night in question. They conducted a second search in December 2015 to obtain employee time sheets to find out who was working in the rail traffic control centre that night.

They also conducted an investigation in Revelstoke.

The CBC broke the story of the first search in June 2015. Charges were laid late in 2016.

CP Rail said it could not comment on the incident because the matter was before

Transport Canada investigators inspect the rail line at Greeley east of Revelstoke in September 2015. ~ Revelstoke Review file photo the court. Transport Canada provided the following statement: “Railway companies are responsible for the safety of their rail line infrastructure,

railway equipment and operations. This includes ongoing inspection, testing and maintenance programs in accordance with regulatory requirements, as well as any

particular operating and environmental conditions.

“Transport Canada does not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action, should an issue of non-com-

pliance be identified. The department has a variety of enforcement tools for non-compliance with rules, regulations and Emergency Directives made under the Railway Safety Act (RSA) ranging from administrative monetary penalties (fines) to prosecution.”

The incident raised the spectre of a repeat of the Lac Megantic incident, when a train left unattended rolled out of control into the heart of a small Quebec town and exploded, killing 47 people on July 6, 2013.

Following the incident, Transport Canada issued an emergency directive that required all rail companies to ensure that handbrakes were properly applied on any trains left unattended for more than one hour.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Jackson was the superintendent of the Revelstoke-based Mountain Division from September 2013 to March 2015, when he was transferred to the Kootenay Division, which is based in Cranbrook. He is no longer with CP Rail.

To help keep the public safe and mobile during the winter months, the City is asking residents and businesses to help out by keeping streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of Public Works, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business.

Avoiding leaving your vehicle parked on the street during snowfalls wherever possible will also help make clearing the streets easier for City plows.

Residents are also asked to please avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by.

For more information about how the City clears the streets and why decisions are made the way they are, priority route maps and more, please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca, and click on ‘Snow Removal Information’ listed under City of Cranbrook Links on the homepage.

Looking back on the year that was in Cranbrook

The Townsman’s New Year’s feature concludes this issue, with a look at the top stories of 2016, October through December. We hope you’ve enjoyed our Year in Review.

Continued from Friday, January 6 Oct. 4 Tristen Chernove reflected on his Paralympic experience that included three trips to the podium for a gold, silver and bronze medal. Chernove spoke about his health challenges during the track portion of the event but also took pride in finishing 15th in the road race after crashing.

Oct. 5 Isobel Mackenzie, the B.C. Seniors Advocate, stopped in Cranbrook for a seniors expo to mark the International Day of the Older Person. Mackenzie spoke about the dangers of age discrimination and stereotyping and added that seniors are diverse and have diverse needs.

Oct. 7 RCMP continued the search for Daniel Ladd, who had been reported missing in August. Police had received a number of tips from the public and also encouraged Ladd to reach out to RCMP to confirm his safety.

Oct. 8 A local resident began a campaign against the city’s plan to borrow $10 million to fix the roads. Wendell Dalke, concerned with rising tax implications, had begun an effort to get people opposed to the borrowing to sign elector response forms.

Oct. 12 The B.C. Liberals denied

an application from Terry Segarty to run for the party nomination in Kootenay East. The party did not disclose any particular reason in denying the application, but Segarty charged that it likely had something to do with a political scandal he was unfairly linked to in the 1980s.

Oct. 14 Tom Shypitka and David Wilks, the two candidates running for the B.C. Liberal nomination, pledged to support the winner of the nomination battle. The pledge came through a news release in response to accusations from Terry Segarty that the party did not approve his application because of his association with a former government cabinet minister who was caught up in a scandal in the 1980s.

Oct. 18 A Cranbrook couple warned local dog-owners about poisoning in the community forest after their dog died from eating a white, fatty substance. Their dog was the third canine to pass away after getting into something up in the community forest. Police were notified and they urged the public to be vigilant with their animals.

Oct. 19 A conservative critic for tourism and electoral reform stopped in Cranbrook during a tour of the riding. Blake Richards was in the region to

hear feedback on tourism issues and electoral reform, as he sat on a committee studying the issue.

Oct. 21 Gerry Taft, who won the NDP nomination in the neighbouring Columbia River-Revelstoke riding by claiming a minority status, revealed his bisexual orientation to quell any controversy of receiving the nomination. Taft did not publicly disclose his minority status when he won the nomination, as opponents questioned what minority status he claimed to win it.

Oct. 25 Tom Shypitka won the nomination for the B.C. Liberals in Kootenay-East, taking the mantle from Bill Bennett, who had been the Liberals’ candidate for the past 16 years and the MLA over four electoral terms. Shypitka ran against David Wilks, the former Kootenay-Columbia MP and mayor of Sparwood.

A trial for three members of the polygamous community of Bountiful began with a voir dire, as Crown and defence lawyers went through the evidence to determine admissibility. Brandon James Blackmore, Emily Blackmore and James Oler all faced charges of removal of a child from Canada under a criminal code subsection that their removal would facilitate sexual touching or exploitation.

Oct. 26 RCMP warned dog-owners about a suspicious substance found at Moir Park.

The RCMP did not confirm if it was connected to a suspicious substance found at the community forest that resulted in the death of three

dogs.

Oct. 28 RCMP sought witnesses after a pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries from a hit-and-run in downtown Cranbrook. The driver remained on scene as RCMP had been called to a collision on Eighth Ave. near Baker St. Nov. 1 The deadline to submit elector response forms in response to the Alternative Approval Process to borrow $10 million for road upgrades passed as the public feedback component ended.

Canadian music icon Tom Cochrane announced a tour stop in Cranbrook for a concert at Western Financial Place. The artist, as part of a cross-country tour, is making Cranbrook one of his 21 shows during his trip across the True North Strong and Free.

Nov. 2 Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) kicked off their annual red ribbon campaign to combat drunk drivers and to honour those who had passed away because of it. Education is the key component to the Project Red Ribbon, as drunk driving and the consequences are completely preventable.

Nov. 4 The plan to borrow $10 million through the Alternative Approval Process was officially endorsed by Cranbrook citizens. The effort needed 10 per cent of electors to oppose the initiative, however, the city only received five per cent of responses opposed to the plan.

Nov. 8 Former Kootenay Ice champion Marek Svatos

passed way in Colorado, as announced by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Svatos played with the local WHL franchise for two years, winning a league championship and Memorial Cup in 2002. He was drafted into the NHL by the Colorado Avalanche and had stints with the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators. He was 34 years old.

Nov. 9 The Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge officially kicked off at Western Financial Place and the Memorial Arena. The event featured 60 mens and women’s teams from B.C. and across Canada and the world in two tiers of competition.

Nov. 11 Kimberley golfer Jared du Toit was named the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Men’s Player of the Year. Du Toit had a stellar year of competition in on the college circuit, however, it was his performance at the PGA’s RBC Canadian Open that made him a household name across the country as he played his way into a top10 finish as an amateur.

Nov. 15 The Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge wrapped up in Cranbrook, with Team Edin winning the Tier 1 bracket for the men’s and Team Balsdon prevailed in the Tier 2 category. For the women’s side, Val Sweeting’s team took the Tier 1 championship, while Jaquelin Harrison’s rink took the win in the Tier 2 division.

Nov. 16 Tributes poured in for Neil Muth, the president and CEO of the Columbia Basin Trust who had recently passed away peacefully in

his home. Muth led the CBT for 11 years, building and delivering programs and services for residents across the Columbia Basin.

Nov. 18 The community of Moyie rallied to raise $2,700 in order to buy a storied train bell from a locomotive that had gone off the rails and into the lake in 1925. The bell had been recovered and was on display at the Moyie Pub, however, new owners had sold it to an antique store without realizing it’s significance to the community.

Thanks to a Facebook post, Annie Lubbers was able to raise the necessary funds in only 24 hours and the bell is currently on display at the Moyie museum.

Nov. 22 Former Fernie mayor Randal Macnair won the NDP nod for the Kootenay East riding and beat out Norma Blissett, who was also in the running. Macnair spent 15 years in municipal politics before taking the leap into the provincial level.

Nov. 23 Lawyers argued the admissibility of some evidence on the eve of a trial for three members of the polygamous community of Bountiful facing child trafficking charges.

Brandon James Blackmore, Emily Blackmore and James Oler were in Cranbrook Supreme Court on charges for allegedly removing a child from Canada that would facilitate sex offences contrary to the Canadian Criminal Code. The charges allege the three brought their underage daughters to the U.S. to marry American men from FLDS communities.

Longtime former Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Karin Penner, pictured here with Chamber President Chris Thom, was named Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year that their underage daughter ever left Canada or was even married.

Dec. 8 The trial for three Bountiful members wrapped up as an amicus — a friend of the court, but not a defence lawyer — cast doubt on the evidence on behalf of James Oler and Emily Blackmore, who were self-represented throughout the trial. The judge adjourned his decision until Feb. 3, 2017.

Dec. 13 Vandalism marred the new washrooms in Rotary Park. Vandals used sharpies to draw on the floors, partitions, and walls of the building. In response, the city closed the men’s and women’s main washrooms for the winter, but left the single-occupant family unit open.

Dec. 14 Local crown counsel Lynal Doerksen was appointed a provincial court judge by the B.C. government. Doerksen came to Cranbrook in 2005 to work as a crown counsel, but will step into his new role effective Jan. 30, 2017.

Dec. 16 Karin Penner, the longtime former Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, was named Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year. Penner is a tireless volunteer with many local organizations, including the Chamber’s annual Turkey Drive, where she was the top fundraiser in an effort that smashed it’s goal by reaching $61,000.

Dec. 20 Local resident Doug Lowes claimed a $4.9 million prize after winning the Lotto 649.

Dec. 23 A man was taken into RCMP custody after robbing a local gas station.

RCMP reported arresting a man who had threatened staff and taken items from behind the counter at Esso Food and Stuff on Van Horne.

The man was caught shortly after wit the help of the Police Dog Services.

Dec. 27 A family was rescued near Cranbrook after their GPS led them astray off a snow-covered Forest Service Road. The family, which was enroute from Calgary to San Francisco, was found up Gold Creek after the father walked for about an hour to get cell reception.

Dec. 30 A woman was killed in a collision near Moyie.

The accident occurred when a west-bound Buick Century lost control and crossed the centreline into the path of an eastbound semi-truck.

RDEK gets ‘stuck in the mud’ in solar debate CONTINUED from page 1 The issue touched off a debate between those who wanted to allow the company the opportunity to collect data, while others were concerned about the impact of a 10-metre squared data collection area in ecologically sensitive areas such as McGinty Lake.

“Our residents and some of the clubs in the area are calling this a

land grab,” said Gay. “So they see all these applications, we’ve had about five and we’ll probably see more because of the amount of sunlight we get in our area — we’re the best area in British Columbia for this so obviously we’re going to get more demand.”

Gay singled out McGinty Lake and Norbury Lake as areas that are unfit to house solar pan-

els.

“Norbury Lake is adjacent to a provincial park, high use winter wildlife area, high recreation use,” Gay said. “I just do not see, in my lifetime, a solar panel there. It just doesn’t fit the environment, so why give this company an opportunity to go study it? McGinty Lake is another example — it’s got some of the rarest endangered grass-

lands in Canada. We wouldn’t put solar panels on that so why even go there to start with?”

In the end, the board voted to ask the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to send a representative to the board explaining the licensing process and to answer land-use questions.

Gay noted that collecting scientific data is a good thing, but what

ith some ‘degree’ of trepidation, naturalists checked the forecasted temperatures for January 4th, 2017. Nevertheless, we set the alarm clocks.

Switching on the lights, and piling on the layers, we knew that the morning would be uncomfortable for ‘them’ and us. Assembling at the Platzl in Kimberley, 15 naturalists, from Cranbrook, Mayook, Fernie and Kimberley received our assignments and tackled the 117th Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Turns out, it was a great day for birding.

Four teams headed out into the four quadrants of the familiar ‘circle’, attempting to identify and record every bird. Yes, it was chilly, –32c, and birds were scarce at first. But soon we found some active, well stocked feeders and the bright sun made it seem warmer. With its back to us, a Bald Eagle surveyed the frozen Kootenay River, woodpeckers pecked at suet and a striking Black-billed Magpie perched in the willows. Our lists grew.

By midday, the temperature struggled up to the mild side of –20; the Rockies were outstanding. There was little or no wind and the traffic was quiet, so ‘birding by ear’ was productive. Occasionally, Red Crossbills chirped, woodpeckers drummed and Jays announced themselves. Around 5 pm, it was time to reconvene at the Marysville Hotel, to feed, re-hydrate and swap stories. All four teams acknowledged the privilege of contributing to some genuine citizen science.

A crested, greyish-blue bird, with bright blue wings and tail, barred and tipped with black and white, distinguishes the Blue Jay. His noisy ‘jay-jay’ always proclaims his presence. Never remaining long in one place, he is on the leap constantly, with a dash and an impudent assurance that is amusing. When cold, as on ‘count day’, he was so fluffed that he appeared more grey than blue.

This increasingly common, large songbird, is known for its intelligence and complex social system with tight family bonds.

The male is a devoted husband and father, who shows his best traits in his family circle. He reminds one of certain human beings who take excellent care of

The Results: This was the 25th Kimberley Count. 42 species is around average. It was a good year for the Bald Eagle, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Pileated Woodpecker and House Finch.

The Blue Jay is a member of the same family to which the crow belongs, and while totally different in appearance, resembles him in his cleverness, his fearlessness and his audacious insolence. Cautious and silent in the vicinity of its nest, away from the nest he is bold and noisy.

In winter, Jays eat the eggs of the tent caterpillar, moth larvae, waste grains, nuts and seeds. In the East, their fondness for acorns is credited with helping spread oak trees following the last glacial period.

Destroying grasshoppers late in the season, feeding on hibernating insects and their eggs, and eating beetles and weevils provide it’s best service to man. The wild fruits it selects are of no economic value.

The severest criticism against the species is the destruction of other birds and their eggs. Recently, however, extensive studies have shown that only 1% of Jays had evidence of birds or eggs in their stomachs.

Blue Jays frequently mimic the calls of calls of Hawks. These calls may provide information to other Jays that a hawk is around, or may be used to deceive other species into believing a hawk is present.

The Blue Jay is partially migratory, withdrawing several hundred kilometers from the extreme

happens after, in terms of how a solar power generating facility is approved and built, especially if the land is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, raises questions.

“I’m certainly not against [the] industry, but some of these areas I know very well and I think there are very much higher uses than to put solar panels on that property.”

Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick has an idea of the issues around solar power generation, given the success of the Sun Mine — a solar-power facility on old Sullivan Mine lands — in Kimberley.

“I think the fact that we now have four or five of these [applications] and it’s getting a little more frequent is sparking questions about what is being investigated and once that data is collected, what does it

mean and where does it go from here?” McCormick said.

McCormick disputes the perception that some people may have of solar facilities in desert areas of the U.S. that feature hectares and hectares of solar panels.

“The fact is, they do things like that there because they can, it is the desert, but that’s not the kind of thing we’re talking about here, it is different as we see in Kimberley with the Sun Mine.”

It’s well documented that the East Kootenay region is one of the sunniest areas of the province, and that is attracting more and more interest from solar companies, said McCormick.

“There’s going to be big expansion of solar in Southern Alberta in the not too distant future,” said McCormick, “and if we can, on the front

end, develop a cluster — the kind of cluster that can attract product and service companies here and real jobs here — it’s an opportunity not just to service a small industry here, but to expand service into Alberta when that gets up and running as well.

“And we’re not talking about tomorrow; we’re talking about a five-ten year plan on how this is going to unfold, but there’s a huge opportunity for us here, from an economic development point of view.”

The province has jurisdiction over approving the licenses, not the regional district. If a company feels that there is potential to set up a solar power generating facility, then the RDEK would get another chance to give their input.

Vancouver’s ice follies entertain us BC Views Tom Fletcher Folks around B.C. had one warming experience as they began the new year with cold winter weather.

That was the slapstick comedy of Vancouver, centre of the B.C. media universe, where people swarmed out of their million-dollar homes to scoop up “free” salt and sand offered by harried city officials after the community’s collective failure to clear its sidewalks and driveways.

There were reports of early birds hoarding the precious salt mix, perhaps to sell. While he was in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert coined a term that fits: “iceholes.”

Mayor Gregor Robertson was nowhere to be seen, enjoying a sunny vacation of similar duration to his climate-crusading buddy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. A chastened city bureaucrat stood before TV cameras to explain how salt supplies had run out.

Critics posted photos to social media of Vancouver’s famous bike lanes, carefully cleared of snow while sidewalks were left to turn to ice.

Beyond our bumbling biggest city, communities like Cranbrook dealt with far more

snow, and local governments received mixed reviews. The further from Vancouver one gets, the more realistic and self-reliant people become about winter.

In Hope, the local council went into the holiday season discussing whether the district should take over sidewalk snow clearing, rather than leave it to property owners as is the standard bylaw approach.

I posted a Hope Standard news report on the deliberations to my Facebook page, and a lively debate ensued.

A few people suggested municipal contractors could be hired to clear sidewalks, while others warned that the shift of liability from individual property owners to the local government would be an expensive mistake.

My contribution was a bit sarcastic: “Forget personal responsibility, neighbour helping neighbour, all those old 20th Century concepts. Let’s just discuss the terms of our surrender to the Nanny State.

And who needs exercise anyway? We have free health care.”

But that’s the thing about our urbanizing, aging society.

Neighbours don’t take care of neighbours as much as they used to, just as more and more people reach an age of needing help.

One suggestion was that municipalities should only clean sidewalks for the elderly.

Great, now all we need is an Inspector of Elderliness for

Wikimedia Commons

Most municipalities make sidewalk snow clearing the responsibility of the adjacent owner or occupant. each community, and a database of seniors that will need to be updated quarterly….

I don’t mean to minimize the struggles of people with disabilities and age-related mobility issues. But the fact is they are better off in high-density urban areas, even with interrupted access to services that no one had a generation ago.

The end of el Nino ocean current events like that of 2016 is frequently followed by cold winters. It created an upsurge in “global cooling” speculation, even as media continued to focus on isolated high temperatures at the North Pole while ignoring the intense cold all around it.

University of Toronto geologists Nick Eyles and Andrew Miall wrote a book in 2010 called Canada Rocks – The Geo-

logic Journey. They later concluded that science and media “seemingly stagger from one widely proclaimed crisis to another,” apparently on the assumption that everything since 1940 is human caused.

“The past climate record suggests that for much of the Earth’s surface, future cooling is the norm,” they wrote in 2014.

“Without natural climate change, Canada would be buried under ice three km thick; that is the normal state for most of the last 2.5 million years, with 100,000-years-long ice ages alternating with brief, short-lived interglacials such as the present, which is close to its end.”

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Downsizing and safety

Prior to the 1998 highways privatization, repair depots were supplied across Area 11, graders with wings and ice blades and trucks that could apply sand/salt, with underbody plow and/or front snow plow were available with trained operators from October 1 until March 31 each year, on shifts 24 hours day and night .

These were available at: Sparwood - 4 trucks,1 grader, 2 4X4 loaders; Fernie - 6 trucks, 2 graders, 2 4X4 loaders; Jaffray- 4 trucks, 1 grader, 2 4X4 loaders; Cranbrook - 7 trucks, 2 graders, 3 4X4 loaders; Yahk - 3 trucks, 2 graders,1 4X4 loader; Kimberley - 4 trucks,1 grader, 2 4X4 loaders; Invermere - 6 trucks, 2 graders, 3 4X4 loaders; Total - 34 trucks, 11 graders, 15 4X4 loaders.

These publicly owned units were all sold off after the second contract term and incoming contractors had to supply their own units and fit them up with snow plows, wings, sanders and underbody plows to meet job requirements. Each time the contracts are renewed the units are sometimes taken away and not sold to or shared with the incoming contractor, so sometimes fleet size numbers are lost and/or downsized, and the ability to react to historically known winter workloads are lost through downsizing for profits.

Placement of facilities with units near sand pits and salt storage where historic snowfalls had been recorded was planned so units and operators and supplies would be near and ready to tackle winter operations and limit travel times and back tracking.

Downsizing these locations to save money on rental location to accrue profits hinders the response times and will effect the overall performance of the operations and condition of the winter roads and can result in an increased vehicle accident rates, with injuries and possible deaths, and surely increased insurance rates.

Defensive driving to meet road conditions is a driver responsibility, but having well maintained roads serves as an accident prevention tool. The cost of a load of sand is paltry to the legal cost of accident settlements that run into several million dollars

each, let alone pain and suffering and loss of loved oneswho are precious and non replaceable.

Sidewalks

We arrived in Cranbrook for an extended holiday and have been disgusted by the state of the sidewalks.

For those in wheelchairs during spring, summer and fall, the ruts and wide cracks are a liability. People are getting hurt. This winter one of my family members who needs her wheelchair can’t even get out to enjoy a sunny day.

Transportation was not available. We did not seen one bus stop where we are staying. The trunk of a taxi cab in Cranbrook is not sufficient for most wheelchairs.

Therefore we would like to walk. We contacted the City last October about the state of their sidewalks and they didn’t respond.

I am ambulatory and find that sidewalks are not plowed well, or at all when walking several blocks to the Superstore and Walmart. My choices today were to walk on the highway and possibly get hit by a car not to mention angering drivers or to trudge through very deeply banked snow.

I chose the snow bank route. I lost my balance and fell into deep snow with groceries in hand. The snow was so deep, I couldn’t get up and had to crawl about 30 feet to a clear patch. I am just beyond middle age and this experience was both traumatizing and physically draining.

A young couple offered to help me and I am very thankful to both of them. I wish the city cared! I can’t imagine why tourists want to come to Cranbrook when the city has shown they don’t even care enough about their own citizens to clear the sidewalks properly and to make them safe year-round. It is sad but our family will not return to Cranbrook for our next holiday.

A chaotic Christmas journey

A curmudgeon is a bad-tempered, cantankerous person and so, when an editor labelled me as such, it was a sorry mistake.

I have a pleasant nature and am seldom ruffled, but I came pretty close to that curmudgeonly state just before I was to fly to Vancouver. Chaos reigned.

It all began in the morning when my bowels exploded. This is not a pleasant topic for an unruffled person but just let me say: I must have lost several kilos of weight in a couple of minutes and was left wondering if that was it. It wasn’t. A little later another kilo of unwanted material was sent off towards the sewage ponds.

Anyway, being phlegmatic soul, I decided to pull myself together and get ready to board a plane; I had a kind and compassionate friend coming to haul me, dead or alive, to the airport at three in the afternoon.

Regrettably, I have had installed in my house a system that is designed (probably by an idiot) to protect me and the residence from fire, smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide poisoning, tornados and burglars. Unfortunately it doesn’t work, especially if I try to operate it.

As my friend sat patiently in his vehicle outside, I prepared to protect my property from all sorts of predation but suddenly all

hell broke loose. Whistles blew, sirens blasted, a demonic female voice yelled at me from some inferno in Utah and I was unable to switch things off, so I did the only sane thing; I pulled all the plugs on everything, left the doors unlocked and sallied forth towards my friend’s questioning grin.

I was actually early for my flight which was late, so the older guy in that place where they check you if you are carrying liqPeter uid, very sharp knives, bombs or anything Warland atom else naughty decided he would give me a rollicking (for him) good time. He is actually an ex-neighbour but I didn’t realize that I had annoyed him so much in the past.

With his radar gun or whatever it is they poke into all sorts of very personal places he went over me millimetre by millimetre but he found nothing amiss. “Maybe it’s my pace-maker,” I suggested, hoping to put him off his nefarious activities. But he has nerves of steel.

After checking every nook and cranny of my elderly body for secret weapons, my ex-neighbour congratulated me on my ability to bend down and do up my laces with such remarkable agility for someone as ancient, then asked if he might park one of his cars on my place.

An hour late, after I calling my few remaining friends on my seldom used cell

phone and visiting the toilet more than once, just in case, we boarded the plane. I sat beside an emergency exit as the flight attendant told me how to operate it when we crashed. I moved later on because the door leaked and was draughty. I didn’t want frozen fingers when I opened that door and we all piled out on the top of some snow- smothered peak.

However, the flight was uneventful but a trifle bumpy and the woman now beside me complained so I, feeling a little gnarly by then, suggested that the captain was bouncing over the mountain tops and she, probably not appreciating my sardonic wit, muttered, “Very inconsiderate of him.”

Later I saw her having a word with the harassed flight attendant.

We landed with a splash at Vancouver airport and swam ashore.

As instructed by my daughter, I tried to phone her and announce my arrival but my seldom-used phone was dead and I had a bit of a panic; I did not remember any family phone numbers in the Lower Mainland; why bother when they’re on the phone; I didn’t panic although it might have been a good time.

The only piece of brilliance on my part that long day was spotting an electrical plug on the wall of the airport and plugging in the re-charger for the phone. I made contact and soggy Christmas began at last.

New B.C. regulations on payday loans don’t address real issues, advocates says K atya Slepian Black Press

Money Mart, Cash Money, Cash Now. Payday loan business line streets across the province, providing easy, short-term borrowing – at a price.

That price is now lower, following provincial regulations that came into effect Jan. 1. The maximum charge per $100 borrow is now $17 down from $23, putting it below an average credit card interest rates, which rarely go under 17-19 per cent.

B.C. now has the second lowest rates in Canada, behind only Manitoba, but they’re still not low enough.

That’s according to Melody, a New Westminster woman who did not want her last name published, who uses payday loans and is a member of BC Acorn, a group that fights for lower fees and better regulation for shortterm loans.

She said by the time someone needs a payday loan, every cent counts.

The group has fought for a $15 maximum charge, and while they’re happy that

A Financial Consumer Agency of Canada report found that the number of Canadians using payday loans more than doubled from 2009 to 2014 — from 1.9 per cent to 4.3 per cent. the government is doing something, they want more.

“That $2 makes a big difference when you already need a help,” she said.

Payday loans are shortterm loans of less than $1,500 and have to be paid within 62 days, although most businesses deduct payment from the borrower’s next paycheque.

Although Melody doesn’t use them often, she has used them twice this year and said it could become a regular thing. Her budget takes a hit when family comes to visit in the

summer and again during the Christmas holidays.

“I had to get a payday loan about 10 days ago,” said Melody, who gets gets $931.42 in disability payments each month.

“It’s not because I don’t know how to budget. I do know how to budget. We just don’t get enough on disability – we’re still below the poverty line.”

A Financial Consumer Agency of Canada report found that the number of Canadians using payday loans more than doubled from 2009 to 2014 — from 1.9 per cent to 4.3 per cent.

The report T:4.33” also found

that payday loan users have less access to other kinds of loans than the average Canadian. Only 35 per cent of them have access to credit cards, with 12 per cent can get lines of credit, compared to 87 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively, among other Canadians.

BC Acorn also believes more regulation is needed to prevent people from “rolling over” their loans from lender to lender. Currently, B.C. has no database that lenders can use to see if borrowers have outstanding loans from other lenders.

Credit Counselling Society vice-president Gary Tymoschuk said a need for constant payday loans becomes a “vicious cycle,” and that people should turn to credit counselling groups to get help instead of relying on continual payday loans.

He said the real issue is a lack of education.

“People who are going for payday loans are more of the vulnerable members of our society and probably don’t know some of the other options.”

Nitros explode after rough Cranbrook night Kimberley implodes at Memorial Arena on Friday, before bouncing back in a big way on Saturday in Invermere JOSH LOCKHART

The Kimberley Dynamiters had a busy weekend with 24 goals being scored over two games.

The Dynamiters lost to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 9-2, but then bounced back with an 11-2 win over the Columbia Valley Rockies.

On Friday, the Nitros faced the Nitehawks at a ‘neutral’ venue, the Cranbrook Memorial Arena. However, this venue has never boded well for the Nitros, as it was the former home to the Cranbrook Colts, a huge rival to the Dynamiters when both teams competed in the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League.

The Colts’ last game was a game seven league victory over the Dynamiters, a game that Nitros head coach and general manager Derek Stuart was on the losing end of.

“Myself and [assistant coach] Jeff Keiver played many games in this arena,” Stuart said.

“Definitely had many battles in this arena. It’s not a rink that I am very fond of, based on the 90’s playing against the Colts.”

The Dynamiters even used the Colts’ old dressing room and could see

the Colts winning banners towering over the ice surface. Needless to say, the Cranbrook hockey gods were not on Kimberley’s side.

With 575 fans in attendance, Nitros forward Chase Miller got them into the game as early as he could as he scored just after the two minute mark. After that, it was all Beaver Valley.

“It just snowballed [even though] we tried to control it,” Stuart said.

“We tried everything we could as a coaching staff.

It’s tough to stop that snowball.”

The Nitehawks scored six in a row before Joe Karpyshyn scored in the third period. But the Nitehawks kept coming and scored another three after that, for a total of nine goals scored by eight different players.

The Dynamiters left the Memorial Arena embarrassed and with their heads down.

“Hopefully, it could be a good thing to be humbled,” Stuart said “Any time that you get your ass whooped like that, you either have to learn from it or it is going to happen again. This could be a good thing.”

It certainly seemed like the latter, as the Nitros went into Invermere

The Dynamiters played to a crowd of 575 fans at the Cranbrook Memorial Arena on Friday night. and posted an 11-2 victory over the Rockies.

While Stuart was pleased with the win, he feels the Dynamiters had not learned their lesson fully.

“We haven’t completely learned our lesson from the Beaver Valley game,” he said. “To the players credit they

did learn quite quickly to play consistently, especially in the last 40 minutes. [That] was some of the best hockey we have played.

“We did everything hard, we made sure we were smart with the puck in all three zones, really limited their opportunities to get scor-

ing chances. We still have a lot of work to do in terms of being able to compete for 60 minutes.

At the same time, the players did an excellent job taking the first step.”

After 20 minutes, the Dynamiters were tied with the Rockies at two, despite firing 21 shots on the Rockies goalie.

In the next 40 minutes, the Dynamiters piled up an astounding nine goals, with Chase Miller taking the lead with three goals and two assists.

“For the coaches, we were more happy to see the players doing the right things, playing the right way, taking that first

step,” Stuart said.

“Whether they scored or not, it’s great that we got those nine goals in the last 40 minutes, but those were a direct result of doing things right, managing the puck, and shooting pucks.”

After two very polarizing games, the Dynamiters look forwards to their next opponent on Wednesday, the Nelson Leafs (16-16-0-4).

“Our mantra is to focus on our next opponent,” Stuart said. “We have a few things to work on -- our consistency in terms of playing hard all the time, and when we do that we can compete with anybody.”

Puck drop is at 8 pm in Nelson.

MATCH STICKS: The Dynamiters added forward Cooper Page (’98) from the Okotoks Oilers (AJHL). As a result of the addition, defensemen Drew Van Den Bosch (’98) was traded to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings (VIJHL). Cody Campbell was recognized as the Kimberley Dynamiters December Player of the Month.

George Bertoia, Brandon Langridge, Garreth Osmar and Harrison Risdon remain out of the line up due to suspension.

Avs compete valiantly against VIU Mariners COTR women kick off second semester with huge win, both teams follow up with gutsy performances in tough losses BR AD MCLEOD

The excitement was palpable in John Swanson’s voice as he talked about Friday night’s win over the VIU Mariners.

Even after coming off a loss on Saturday, the College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s head coach was glowing with pride at his team’s performance.

“It was an emotional kind of roller coaster,” Swanson said. “I’m so incredibly proud of the ladies for how they battled and how they competed. It was a huge win for our program.

On Friday, the Avs were in a seesaw affair that saw them go on runs and fall behind at several crucial moments of the match.

They lost the first 18-25,

won the second 26-24 and the third 25-17, before losing 19-25 and being forced to win in the fifth 18-16.

Heading into the weekend, VIU had a 10-2 record and even after going 1-1 against the Avs, the Mariners are the top team in the PACWEST with 22 points.COTR stands firmly in sixth place, tied with the UFV Cascades and the Camosun Chargers with 10 points.

Alexa Koshman, continued to shine at left side for the Avs, picking up 22 kills in eight sets while also racking up 29 digs. Outside hitter Adriel Goodman had the most kills for the Avs with 37 and also contributed 24 digs, seven blocks, and three aces.

Right side hitter Mikaela Pushor meanwhile had 29 digs, 11 kills, eight blocks and one ace.

On Saturday afternoon, the Avs played well but couldn’t match a VIU team that was eager to bounce back from a rare loss.

“We expected VIU to come out a little bit stronger [in the second match],” Swanson said.

“We started off, again, not at a level that we needed to, but I’m proud of the ladies because again, what we’ve challenged them with from the beginning of the year is to always compete.”

While the women narrowly avoided losing in three sets, winning 27-25 in the third, VIU closed out strong with a 25-15 fourth set victory.

On the men’s side, there was significantly less joy, but still just as many encouraging signs for the future. VIU entered the weekend, like their women’s team, as the top team in the PACWEST and kept their place with back-to-back wins over the Avs.

“It was a huge win for our program.

Both days, I’m just incredibly proud of the ladies for how they competed and never quit.”

John Swanson On Friday, it was a heartbreaker for COTR.

The Avs put up 25-22 and 25-18 wins to start the match at 2-0 but then fell 26-28, 22-25 and finally 13-15 to lose the match.

“We blew a golden opportunity [on Friday],” coach Herb Tepper said. “We competed [though]. Our goal was to try and get over 20 points in every set and we did that. I think our level of competition was good. We just weren’t executing well enough, but given the long break, it’s not a big surprise.”

On Saturday, the Avs once again came out of the gate strong but were on the losing side of two close opening sets, falling 25-22 and 25-23. In the third set, they came out hot, piling up a 6-0

run and eventually winning 25-18.

The fourth and final set would be the team’s worst, however, as they only managed 13 points.

Despite the unfavourable scoreline, the Avs stars continued to shine in 2017.

Outside hitter Patrik Toze put up a team-leading 23 kills over the weekend, with 16 coming on Friday night alone. Julio Lins and David Dobson meanwhile had impressive 10 dig and 15 kill showings, and middle blocker Spencer Janzen had six blocks to go with 13 kills and five digs.

The loss marked a season-sweep for VIU over COTR, as the Mariners had previously beaten the Avs twice on

their home court in October. Even with the losses, COTR remains tied in fourth place in the PACWEST with a 6-8 record.

While Tepper admits that VIU deserves credit for their success, he does not believe that the 13-1 powerhouse squad is unbeatable.

“They’re a very good team [and] obviously, their record shows that,” he said. “They’ve got weapons in all positions, but they’ve shown they can be beaten as well.”

The Avs are back at home next weekend as the men’s and women’s teams take on the Camosun Chargers in another important pair of back-to-back matches against stiff competition.

Ice trade Zborosky and Alfaro to Hurricanes

Kootenay part with veteran forwards, scoring leaders at trade deadline in ongoing rebuilding process for struggling team BR AD MCLEOD

Zak Zborosky was not shocked by the news that he had been traded, but he was pleasantly surprised that he wouldn’t be going to his new team alone.

On Monday morning, Zborosky and fellow 20-year-old forward Matt Alfaro were both dealt to the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for forwards Brett Davis and Colton Kroeker, along with second and fourth round selections in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft.

A veritable blockbuster, Zborosky and Alfaro were the Ice’s two leading scorers and have played together for their entire WHL careers, both having joined the Kootenay Ice in the 2013-14 season when they were 17-year-olds.

“I expected a trade, that’s what [GM] Jeff [Chynoweth] told me was going to happen this year, [but] I did not expect to go to the exact same place as [Alfaro],” Zborosky said on Monday morning as he was packing up at Western Financial Place. “We’ve been together since day one and we’ve [said] that the goodbye is going to be tough but I guess we’re holding [that] off for a couple more months.”

Alfaro was similarly pleased to get to keep playing with his longtime teammate.

“It was kind of unexpected, you don’t think that two 20-year-olds at the deadline are going to get traded together so

it’s pretty special,” Alfaro said. “We’re both happy with it and it’s pretty unique.”

“It was kind of unexpected, you don’t think that two 20-year-olds at the deadline are going to get traded together, so it’s pretty special.

We’re both happy with it.”

Matt Alfaro As a divisional rival of the Ice, the duo has seen a lot of the Hurricanes. In 19 career games against the ‘Canes, Zborosky has put up 8 goals and 7 assists, including both a hat-trick and a two-goal night in four games this year. In 21 games, Alfaro has 5 goals and 15 assists.

Now, the Hurricanes will expect them to be able to have that sort of production for their team.

“We’re going to a good team and I think we’ve got a good chance this year and I’m pretty excited,” Zborosky said of his new club. “[The Hurricanes] have got a lot of offensive power and they like to play a fast-paced, run-andgun style. I feel like I can contribute to that [because] that’s how I like to play.”

Lethbridge is in second place in the Central Division and have the

fifth most goals of any team in the WHL with 153 in 42 games.

“They’re a very skilled team [and] very fast,” Alfaro added.

“Being a bigger guy and [being] pretty physical I know I can be the twoway centerman that I think they need.”

Although they’re looking forward to spending the final chapter of their WHL careers with a team that will be competing for a league championship, both Alfaro and Zborosky admitted the move was bitter-sweet. “[I’ll miss] the small city [atmosphere],” Zborosky said. “All the guys get together all the time and [you’re] always at someone’s house hanging out [so] that’s what I’ll miss the most.”

“This is all I’ve known for my whole junior career, my billets have been great [and] I’ve got nothing bad to say about this organization,” he said. “They’ve been phenomenal [so] I’ll miss everything.”

When it came to the team, there were a lot of people that the pair said helped them become the players and people they are today.

“It’s got to start with Jeff [Chynoweth], he brought us in — [Alfaro] wasn’t even drafted, just a listed guy and I was kind of a later-round guy — and he signed us,” Zborosky said. “[Former coach] Ryan McGill taught us a lot during his two years and it switched over to Luke [Pierce] and we took

“And then the trainers: Cory Cameron was amazing to me and [Alfaro], and then when he stepped aside Darcy [Ewanchuk’s] been great [...] everyone [is amazing]. It’s just a great organization.”

“Our skills coach Wayne Dougherty [has been important] to me,” Alfaro said. “Jay Henderson, Ryan McGill and then Gord [Burnett] and Luke [Pierce] and Roman [Vopat], they’ve all been really special to me [too] and have helped me get where I am, so I’d like to thank them.”

As for the future of

the Kootenay Ice, while the two departed players were alternate captains, Zborosky is certain that there are guys in the locker room who will be more than capable of filling bigger leadership roles.

“Austin Wellsby has been here for awhile and so has Vince [Loschiavo], and back-end guys like Dallas Hines [have all] shown signs of leadership,” he said. “Now that we’re gone, I hope they take on that role.”

Alfaro and Zborosky will make their first return trip to Cranbrook as members of the Hurricanes on February 12, one of three remaining

matches between the two teams.

“It’ll be a little bit weird [facing the Ice] but you just have to treat it like any other hockey game,” Zborosky said.

“Hopefully it’s going to be a special night and we’ll get a lot of support from the fans.”

In his public statement on the trade, Chynoweth explained the deal and expressed how much his long-serving forwards would be missed by the organization.

“Our focus heading into this year’s trade deadline was to add to our complement of 1999-born players as

well as a veteran forward who can be a twoyear player for our Club.

Brett Davis provides youth and skill to our lineup, while Colton Kroeker will be a top-six forward. We are excited to add them both to our group. This is a trade that benefits both teams, and along with the draft selections addresses our needs as we continue rebuilding for the future,” stated Chynoweth.

“We thank Matt Alfaro and Zak Zborosky for all they have done for our club both on and off the ice over their four years in Cranbrook,” Chynoweth added.

Kootenay wins twice in busy weekend Ice pick up four of a possible six points while playing in three-straight nights against the Spokane Chiefs and Vancouver Giants BR AD MCLEOD

The Kootenay Ice had a busy weekend, playing games on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon.

Despite losing their opening contest at home to the Spokane Chiefs 4-1 in what coach Luke Pierce called a simple case of “getting outworked”, the Ice came back strong the next night in Spokane.

Feeding off a strong effort from centreman Matt Alfaro, who picked

up a goal and an assist, the Ice eventually won 3-2 in a marathon-shootout that saw 17 players from both teams foiled by the goaltenders before Reed Morison scored in the ninth round.

Back in Cranbrook on Sunday afternoon, the Ice had their yearly match against the Vancouver Giants. Without Zborosky and Alfaro, who were healthy scratches prior to their trade on Monday morn-

ing, Kootenay put out a solid team effort and beat Vancouver 3-2.

After Sunday’s game, Pierce said that he was very happy with the way his team had played over the weekend, especially considering the hole in their lineup on the final night.

“I thought we played a really good team game,” he said. “Obviously, [we were] missing two pretty big pieces of our lineup, and I was interested to see how

our group was going to respond.

“They did a pretty good job [and] we had contributions from lots

of different areas.”

Pierce stressed simplicity as being an even more important factor with their ‘new identity.’

“We’re going to have to be simple,” he said.

“That’s going to be our motto, just being a good solid group.”

The Ice’s goaltenders were once again a huge part of the team’s success.

In Friday’s loss, Payton Lee had 46 saves and gave the team a chance despite their

otherwise lacklustre performance. On Saturday, Jakob Walter stepped in and made 45 stops, with an additional nine in the shootout.

On Sunday, Lee beat his former team with 32 saves, including a number of scrambling efforts in the last minute to stop the Giants from tying the game with an extra-attacker.

Kootenay’s next game is on Wednesday in Swift Current against the Broncos.

Friday, January 6 Kootnay 1 vs. Spokane 4 1 – Zborosky (28) from Loschiavo Goalie: Lee (46 Saves, 3 GA) Saturday, January 7 Kootenay 3 at Spokane 2 (SO) 1 – Alfaro (13) from Murray (SH) 2 – King (2) from Ke.

Cold snap drives electricity demand to all-time high, BC Hydro says On Jan. 3, 2017 between 5 and 6 p.m., BC Hydro set a new record for power consumption when demand for electricity peaked at 10,126 megawatts.

This new record breaks the previous record that was in place for more than a decade.

The old record was set on November 29, 2006 when consumption reached 10,113 megawatts between 5 and 6 p.m.

BC Hydro records the highest demand for electricity in the winter months between 4 and 8 p.m. on weekday evenings. This is when the majority of British Columbians come home, turn up the heat, switch on the lights, do laundry and make dinner.

Demand for electricity is expected to remain high as the cold snap continues. BC Hydro is preparing for peak loads between 9,800 and 10,200 megawatts this week.

Residential energy consumption can increase, on average, by 88 per cent in the colder, darker months. BC Hydro is reminding customers there are simple ways to save power during the winter.

• Manage your thermostat. Lowering it by two degrees to save 5 per cent. Lowering it by five degree to save 10 per cent.

• Unplug your second fridge and save up to $90 per year.

• Unplug unused electronics and save $50 per year.

• Wash laundry in cold water and save $27 per year.

• Turn off unnecessary lights and save $12 per year.

Hydroelectric system and ongoing investments help to meet peak demand B.C. is fortunate to have a large hydroelectric system that provides firm, flexible power that allows BC Hydro to respond to spikes in electricity demand caused by cold weather. This means the power will be there on the coldest, darkest days of the year - without brownouts or without having to import expensive power from other jurisdictions.

BC Hydro is also making investments today to meet the growing demand for electricity and to ensure reliable power in the future. BC Hydro is investing, on average, $2 billion a year, to upgrade aging assets and build new infrastructure so that British Columbia’s electricity system remains affordable, reliable and clean for the long-term. This includes building the Site C Clean Energy Project and installing a new unit at the Revelstoke generating station – two projects that are critical to providing the firm capacity required to meet growing demand for power.

COMICS Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be on top of your game early in the day. You’ll clear out a lot of work and responsibilities.

You might slow down by the end of the day, as fatigue seems to follow your whirlwind act.

Postpone important communication, if need be. Tonight: Make it early.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do your best with a money agreement. Make the most of what is happening between you and someone else. Try to get past the cold chill that exists between you. You could be surprised by the perspective you gain as a result. Tonight: Catch up on news and recent events.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the daylight hours to the max, even if you feel as if you would like to do something else.

Understand what is happening with a difficult person rather than take his or her behavior personally. It is not worth the stress or the time. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be slow to start, much like the tortoise, but you will finish first. At the last minute, you’ll be full of energy and hit a homerun. Perhaps others had not anticipated to encounter this much energy. In fact, you’ll even surprise yourself.

Tonight: Easy does it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to news more openly.

You could be amazed by all the different ideas, responses and thoughts you hear in reference to what seems to be happening around you. You might decide to take a step back and do some thinking before making a final decision. Tonight: All by yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Express your feelings about a project that has saturated your life. Know when it is time to say “enough is enough!” You could be full of fun ideas. Be as direct as possible with a group of friends. Discussions could become manipulative with one specific person. Tonight: Join friends.

tance who is always full of valuable feedback. The unexpected marks your relationships. You know that others are not being their rational selves. Go with the flow, and you’ll be pleased with the results. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to a partner or dear friend with whom you have a very special relationship. This person knows how to rain on your parade. Go with the moment, but expect some strong reactions. If you can relax, do. Stay more centered. Tonight: Read between the lines.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Confusion runs through your day. Others seem to seek you out to ask you a question, invite you to dinner with them, etc. You might want to stop and consider what you want to do before you say “yes.” Stay focused on your decision. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have the ability to read between the lines. How you visualize a creative endeavor could make all the difference in

how you handle a problematic situation. Others are likely to become intrigued and excited about what they hear. Tonight: A must appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a greater need for excitement than many others. Your tone and mood could change throughout the day. Handle a person who acts spontaneously with care. Communication soars between you, giving you a window into his or her personality.

Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A domestic matter could weigh heavily on your soul. There could be a push and pull between two areas of your life. You might dispel some of this energy on a spending spree. Be careful, as you could inflict damages on yourself as a result. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

witnesses of abuse Dear Annie: My daughter and I have witnessed aggressive acts in public areas and are at a loss as to what, if any, action we should take. The most recent example was when we watched a man yelling at what appeared to be his significant other. He grabbed her by the arm, forcefully placed her in the car and buckled her seat belt. Then he went into the store, and she sat there, not moving and keeping her head down. We wanted to approach the woman and ask whether she was OK, but we feared he was watching from the store. Another situation involved a young child between the ages of 3 and 5 with a cast on his arm. His guardian grabbed him by the other arm and threw him into the back seat of the car. There have been other situations, as well.

What does one do or say without making the victim’s life even worse later when the victim and abuser are out of sight? Each time, we looked for a police officer, but none was around. Annie, this just breaks our hearts, but what does a bystander do? -Tears and Fears for the Victims All Over Dear Tears: You were right to want to act.

If you see such violence, you should call 911 immediately or find a police officer. Our justice system values and supports citizens speaking up when they see someone in danger, and there are laws in place to protect those who do so. These Good Samaritan laws protect these honorable citizens from legal liability should their good intentions have unintended consequences. Familiarize yourself with the laws in your state.

As Albert Einstein said, the world will be destroyed not by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything. By standing up for what you know is right and defending people who aren’t in a position to defend themselves, you are saving the world, one good deed at a time.

Dear Annie: My sister-in-law is organizing a family vacation at a beach house, supposedly to celebrate my daughter’s engagement. My daughter doesn’t want to go, and the trip comes at a time when we will be really busy. The trip feels more like a getaway for the other family members than an actual celebration for my daughter. How can we stop this madness? -- Feeling Awkward Dear Awkward: That’s odd indeed. If it’s really your daughter’s party, then she can call it off if she wants to. She should tell her aunt that she really appreciates the thought but the timing just won’t work -- and that she hopes they’ll enjoy the getaway themselves all the same. I have a feeling they will.

Dear Annie: Your response to “Carol in Florida” regarding her experience with a person who got way too close while she was interacting with pharmacy staff was on the mark but left out an important detail. This fellow’s behavior was probably a HIPAA privacy violation, and the staff member should have immediately recognized it as such and taken steps necessary to stop this intrusion. If Carol believes that her privacy was breached, she may wish to file a complaint. This can be done at https://www.hhs. gov. In my opinion, the person most in the wrong here was the assistant pharmacist for doing nothing. He or she needs to brush up on HIPAA rules. -- Minnesota Pharmacist of 42 Years Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Ruby Bakken June 23, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 5, 2017

Ruby passed away peacefully at Joseph Creek Care Village at the age of 96.

She was born at Southey, SK and moved to Cranbrook with her parents Fred and Dorothy Hyde at age 8. She married Alfred Bakken in 1942 and they resided in Cranbrook until 1969.

They then moved to Vancouver until 2001, before returning to Cranbrook. After the passing of Alf in 2004, she moved to Joseph Creek Village.

She was a kind and loving spirit and her light shone on all those who knew her. She is remembered for her love of dance and joy of baking. To this day her grandchildren & great grandchildren remember her Christmas cookies.

Ruby is survived by her daughter Betty-Ann Newhouse (Ken), grandson Steve Newhouse (Lynne), granddaughters Rene Gillespie (Matt), Kim Lees, Randa Stone (KC). Rubyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Barry Bakken (Laura), grandsons Adam and Aaron Bakken, and granddaughter Lindsay Lantela (Jukka). She also leaves behind 12 great grandchildren, her sister Vera Knight, Audrey Rodgers (Buck), sister-in-law Runa and brother-in-laws Al Bakken and Jim Bakken (Ann).

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

The family gratefully acknowledges the caregivers at Joseph Creek Care Village for Rubyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent care the last 8 months and staff at Joseph Creek Village the past 11 years. Thanks also to Dr. Andi and Karen Grant.

Coroner urges care during cold snap The Free Press

With the forecast for several more days of unusually cold weather throughout much of the province, the BC Coroners Service is urging everyone to take special care of themselves - and each other.

Hypothermia can be a killer for anyone, but the elderly, frail and mobility-challenged may be particularly at-risk if in circumstances where their core body temperature dips. The BC Coroners Service reminds everyone that this can happen even in a residence or other building if the outdoor temperature is cold enough and the heating system for the building fails for some reason.

Especially in more rural and remote areas, neighbours are urged to watch out for each other and ensure everyone has shelter, warmth, water and food during the cold snap.

“If you know your neighbours are elderly, take the time to give them a call or drop by, just to make sure they are coping,” said Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe.

Precautions should also be taken when outdoors with the windchill factor, which combines the effects of temperature and wind, taken into account. Getting

wet is also a factor that greatly increases the risk for hypothermia, as is impairment with alcohol.

Another heightened risk in cold weather is fire or carbon monoxide poisoning, especially if people turn to makeshift arrangements to try to maintain warmth in their homes.

For everyone: • Plan ahead. Develop a cold-weather safety plan in advance to ensure safety concerns are addressed when the weather forecast is expecting very cold temperatures or significant windchill. Think about how much you need to be outdoors and what precautions you are going to take there, and also how you are going to ensure your home remains warm and safe with running water and an adequate food supply.

Outdoors: • Dress in layers with a wind-resistant outer layer. Wear a hat plus mitts or insulated gloves.

Keep your face warm with a scarf, balaclava or the like.

• Stay dry. Being wet greatly increases the risk of hypothermia. If you do get wet, find shelter and change into dry clothing as soon as possible.

• If possible, limit your time

Make quitting smoking your resolution The first days of the New Year are upon us and perhaps you are one of the many who have been thinking about becoming tobacco free in 2017. What an amazing gift to give to yourself, your family and friends!

Approximately 550,000 British Columbians smoke and over 70 per cent of those people say they wish they could quit. Many British Columbians are planning to quit smoking this year so you are not alone.

Making a plan to quit can increase your chances of success.

Make sure your plan in-

cludes a quit date to help you get started on your tobacco free journey and be sure to tell the supportive people in your life when that day is. If you have tried to quit before, think about what worked, what did not work and how you might use that information to make your next quit attempt your last one. Past attempts are real learning opportunities so stay positive and plan one step at and time.

Support and resources are available and can bolster your success.

QuitNow offers free personalized support to

British Columbians 24 hours a day. They can provide the tools and support to help increase your chances of quitting.

They can be reached online at https://www.quitnow. ca/ or by calling 1-877455-2233 or by texting QUITNOW to 654321.

The B.C. Smoking Cessation Program offers British Columbians access to nicotine replacement therapy in the form of patches, gum, lozenges or inhaler to help reduce withdrawal symptoms. Joining the program is easy, simply visit any com-

munity pharmacy in the province and ask to join B.C Smoking Cessation Program.

Don’t forget your health-care provider can also be a great support, so be sure to tell them your plans to become smoke free and ask how they can support you.

In addition to many health benefits, quitting can save a person $3650 in the first year if they have smoked a pack a day. Remember to be kind to yourself and reward yourself for being tobacco free.

outdoors in times of extremely low temperatures or windchill.

Indoors: • Do not assume that just being indoors is enough to eliminate the risk of hypothermia. An unheated or poorly heated residence or building can still lead to hypothermia, especially for the elderly or infirm.

• If you are in a cool or cold building, wear extra clothes, such as longjohns made for winter weather. Wear socks and slippers, and an extra sweater. A cap or hat helps prevent loss of body heat.

• If it’s cold at night, wear longjohns under your pajamas, and put extra covers on the bed.

• If your home is heated by a wood stove, ensure you have plenty of wood available before a forecasted snowstorm or prolonged cold spell.

• If you are using a space heater for extra warmth, place it on a hard, level surface and keep anything flammable at least three feet away.

• Never use a stove or oven to heat your home, and never operate a generator inside a home.

The B.C. government will continue efforts to negotiate a new softwood lumber trade agreement, after the U.S. International Trade Commission upheld the U.S. industry’s claim of “injury” due to alleged unfair trade practices by Canadian producers.

The latest complaint, the fifth by the U.S. lumber industry, accuses B.C. and other provinces of “dumping” lumber below market value, and subsidies based on the price of logs on Crown land.

The finding means the U.S. could impose countervailing duties as early as February on B.C. lumber exports, which make up half of Canada’s sales to the U.S. It also means the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigation of Canada and its producers.

Forest products are part of the economy for 140 communities and provide 65,000 jobs in B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said trade protection would increase lumber prices for U.S. builders as their housing market recovers.

It happened this week in Cranbrook: 1908 For the week of January 8 - 14

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1908 Nomination for mayor … To the Citizens of Cranbrook: Notwithstanding my refusal to many personal requests I have, within the past week, received a strong petition signed by almost all the business men and many other citizens requesting me to reconsider the matter and consent to my name being placed in nomination for the mayoralty.

Under such circumstances I have been lead to believe that, perhaps during every man’s life, a certain amount of time must be sacrificed in the public interest. I have, therefore, decided to allow my name to be placed in nomination.

Candidate for mayor … J. D. McBride has been asked by a number of ratepayers to stand for mayor. Last week a committee representing about one hundred ratepayers of Cranbrook who had signed a petition asking J. D. McBride to stand as a candidate for mayor waited upon that gentleman. Mr. McBride stated that he had no desire to be a candidate for any office, but since there had been an expression of such a large proportion of the ratepayers of Cranbrook, he felt that it was his duty to accede to the request made. He further stated to the committee that it would be a personal sacrifice on his part to accept such a nomination, as the performance of the duties of the office of mayor would materially interfere with the management of his business, yet he deemed it his duty to accept the tender that had been made to him by so many ratepayers of the city.

EFFICIENT POLICE WORKING … That Cranbrook is one of the most orderly towns in the west everybody admits and this is due, in no small way, to the city police force.

Serious crime is practically unknown and petty offences on the police magistrates docket are few and far between.

Harsh measures have very seldom to be resorted to, but tact and common sense take the place of the club and handcuffs. Chief Cory Dow is a natural born policeman and has had years of experience, not only as chief of police for this city but also on the provincial force. Officer D. McLean has been on the city force ever since incorporation and is a favorite with everybody. A courteous gentleman at all times and a first-class officer. G. Moore, who is in charge of the city lockup, although he has been on the force only a short time, has shown himself to be the right man in the right place. The people of Cranbrook are proud of their city and its orderliness and this same orderliness reflects great credit on the city police force.

Have a clean election … Vote for whoever you want elected and work for whoever you want elected, but avoid personalities and bitterness. Let us have a clean election, one that when it is over we can say, no matter who wins or who loses, it was clean, free from malice and we are proud of it.

Eagles’ smoker … The new Edison theatre was filled with Eagles and their friends last Friday evening and a magnificent time was spent by all those who were lucky enough to be present. The Eagles are birds who know what real hospitality is, as was evidenced by the bountiful supply of both solid and liquid refreshments which graced the board.

About 9 o’clock, J. Edgar Davis, the chairman, gave a short address of welcome and finished by proposing the toast of the King, which was drunk with musical honors. J. E. Davis makes an ideal chairman, as everybody knows who has heard his ready run of wit. The Eagles are to be congratulated upon the splendid entertainment they gave.

We are proud … The Herald has been abused by many reformers and yet, the Herald was the only paper that had the courage to condemn and run out the pimps and tin horn gamblers. The Herald is proud of its record in this respect.

We are abused … The editor of the Herald is being abused by a very small element on the theory that it is opposed to what is termed the church element. The editor of the Herald desires to say only one thing, and that is that if the books could be shown it would demonstrate the fact that he had given dollars during his nine years residence in Cranbrook, where his accusers have given cents for the building and maintenance of church institutions. We don’t like to say anything on this subject but the persistence with which some people would like to present the Herald as an instrument working against church influences is unfair and unjust. The Herald believes in the church and has shown its belief by contributions of dollars and cents and the man who endeavors to make capital against the Herald on a matter of this kind is one who is entirely controlled by nar-

row prejudices and petty personalities.

Washington clock ticks in Cranbrook … On New Year’s eve the Herald was asked by the dispatcher’s office at the C. P. H. whether it would like to hear a clock in Washington, D. C., tick off the second for five minutes before midnight. It was thought that someone was having a little fun with the Herald. A representative of the Herald was assured, however, that he would be able to hear the clock some thirty-five hundred miles away tick off the second. In the naval observatory at Washington, there is an apparatus called the master clock. This clock is the official hour glass keeper for the continent of North America. It is fitted with appliances that when regulated, the big pendulum swings exactly on the second heat, and when it swings to one side it opens a switch on telegraph instruments. When it swings to the other side, one second in time, another switch is opened, thus regulating the beat to a second. On the New Year eve the authorities at the observatory send this time all over the continent to every place where there is a telegraph office, and all the clocks are accordingly regulated by it. Last night when the big clock at Washington was at five minutes to 11 p. m., it started ticking off the seconds as the pendulum swung and every instrument in the Cranbrook office closed down. There was a great silence and as the great clock got past the five minute mark, the ticks started to come into Cranbrook tick, tick, tick, and so on. This message which was delivered in Cranbrook within a fraction of a second after the big pendulum swung In Washington, D. C., kept on and one could see the big clock steadily grinding on its course, as the ticks came in. Then one realized the perfection to which experts in telegraphy have brought the sound.

In truth one heard the great clock in Washington some 3,500 miles away ticking off the seconds as the New Year passed in.

Potlatch … A big band of Piegan Indians arrived in Elko New Year’s Eve, had dinner with Old Chief Cannokeluckanana, and went south with the stage to Pineapple Flats, Indian Village, Tobacco Plains. They were a fine bunch and in charge of Big Plume K. C. B., who is also a mason and a bricklayer, Wolf Robe, Two Feathers, Old Man Asleep-onthe-Top, White Rabbit, Little Bear and others. They are visiting the Kootenays and will remain for the big Potlatch dance.

Elko news … Napoleon Bone-in-his-Heart was arrested on Friday by a squad of cant hook twisters and tried before a lumber jack court, charged with refusing to get full when he had the chance. He was sentenced to a soda water bath with muslin trimmings, and he looked like a cherub all but the wings, when he came out with a hump on his back that would make a camel look like a clothes line, and his teeth rattled like bones at a coon show. He made a bee line for the C. P. R. trail and started west.

At Moyie … Moyie Lake is now about half covered with a soft, slushy ice. The weather is so mild that there may not be solid ice for several days yet, aside from in the bays. The lake last year froze over on December 27th, and at this time the ice was several inches in thickness.

Windermere news … Mr. Neilson in crossing the lake last Saturday on his way home from Wilmer had the misfortune to lose a valuable team and outfit. They broke through the ice and team and sleigh immediately went to the bottom. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Neilson in his loss. Nothing daunted by Mr. Neilson’s unfortunate experience, our worthy provincial constable still travels over the lake daily.

He was the first to travel over it this year and everyone knows that he is not a quitter at the risk of getting a view of the bottom of the lake. Still his many friends feel somewhat nervous at times for his safety but even that will not deter him.

Ouch! … The friends of Mr. Downie, photographer, will be very sorry to hear of his accident. While attempting to take a flashlight picture of a dancing party in the mill hall on Friday evening last, by some slight mistake he burned his hand very severely. All possible aid was at once given to relieve his suffering during the night, and Mr. Downie then came to Cranbrook on Saturday morning for medical aid.

This is the future … The Cranbrook hotel is always upto-date. The latest addition that has been made for the comfort and convenience of the guests is a sound proof telephone booth, with an automatic telephone. The booth is in the writing room and all one has to do is to place the necessary amount of coin in the slot and one can speak with Fernie, Moyie or any other place in the district and owing to the sound proof qualities of the booth no one can hear the conversation except the party for whom the message is intended.

On The Road To Marrakech: Part I of III

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel takes us with her to the sultry climes of the Kingdom of Morocco Salem Alikoom! Last fall, I travelled to Morocco for the first time, but I don’t think it will be the last.

I didn’t know what to expect — Northern Africa, Muslim country.

Was it safe? Were women welcome?

Well, my expectations were exceeded and as usual for me, I thoroughly loved the new country I was visiting.

Morocco is a kingdom, characterized by rugged mountains, a large desert, and both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines.

It’s just a short trip across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain and Portugal. You could combine these countries with a trip to Morocco, or just visit the country on its own.

There are nonstop flights from Montreal to Casablanca daily.

The population of Morocco is 34 million, mainly contained in the north, with the largest city and important port being Casablanca.

The beaches of Casablanca are beautiful, wide, easily accessible and utilized by joggers, dog walkers, soccer players and sunbathers.

The Hassan II Mosque is located in Casablanca, the only one open to non-Muslims, and the third largest in the world, next to Mecca and Medina.

My visit to Casablanca was short, but enjoyable. In the evening, we visited the very crowded but famous Rick’s Café of the film ‘Casablanca’ fame. A historic building. Felt like you were back in time.

Morocco was ruled by many dynasties over the centuries, but gained their independence in 1956. The current King Mohammed

Beaches near Casblanca.

IV is modern and well liked. The people are Arab, Berber (indigenous people), sub-Saharan African and European. The official language is Arabic, but French is taught in school and widely spoken, as is Spanish. The religion is Islam, with Sunni Muslim the largest component.

I learned a lot about Islam and Muslim people. More on that later.

The climate of northern Morocco is wonderful, similar to southern California – sunny and warm. However, it is a diverse country, with extreme hot in the Sahara Desert, and below freezing in the Atlas Mountains.

Leaving Casablanca,

ions

ulat Congrat

we headed south towards Essaouira, a fortified city on the Atlantic coast. Narrow cobblestone lanes, a fishing and ship building port, broad sandy beach, and a charming medina make up this small city of 70,000. No big name stores, hotels or coffee shops here! Just a few small locally owned riads (bed & breakfast hotels), quaint restaurants and a lively souk (market). At night, the warm breeze blowing through my open window and the sound of the waves crashing ashore lulled me to sleep. At sunrise, a run on the beach, watching the school boys play soccer, was magical.

From Essaouira, it is

just a two hour drive to Marrakech, which makes it very easy to transport goods from the port to market. Essaouira provides fish and seafood to most of the country. This city is known for silver jewelry, brightly coloured textiles, and ‘inlay’ wood products. Very reasonable prices in the souk.
