Teachers who claimed mercury poisoning get new hearing ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff

Ralph Sultan, BC Minister of State for Seniors, takes a moment from his duties take pose for a photo with fellow server Lourdes Roxas Butalid of Cranbrook. The Minister, MLA for West Vancouver-Capilano, was helping out at the annual Seniors Dinner at the Colombo Lodge on Wednesday, Dec. 5. The dinner, put on by the Colombo Lodge and Rotary Club, is the largest gathering of seniors in southeastern B.C., and features food preparation and service by Rotarians, Colombo Lodge members, City Councillors and other dignitaries. Minister Sultan himself was touring the East Kootenay listening to seniors’ concerns. He spent Tuesday in the Elk Valley Communities of Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford. On Wednesday he was in Invermere and Kimberley, and Thursday in Cranbrook. Sultan is the first such Minister of State — the Ministry was created by Premier Christy Clark earlier this fall.

Fill your skates with indoor ice ANNALEE GR ANT Townsman Staff

The City of Cranbrook is warning residents to stay clear of Elizabeth and Idlewild Lakes for skating purposes due to thin ice. But fear not, Cranbrook, there is plenty of free skating

opportunities coming up in the next few months. Chris Zettel, corporate communications officer for the City of Cranbrook said the ice is not yet firmed up enough to allow for winter skating. “Ice is beginning to form on both lakes at Idlewild Park and

at Elizabeth Lake, as well as the area creeks and streams,” Zettel said. “With the warmer temperatures we’ve seen the past few weeks, the ice is thin and is not safe to be on. For now, residents are being asked to stay clear. “We are asking parents and

kids to please stay off all the outdoor ice for your own safety,” Zettel said. City staff is keeping an eye on the situation and an announcement will be made once the ice is thick enough.

A group of six Cranbrook teachers who claim they were poisoned by mercury during their time at Mount Baker Secondary School were vindicated Tuesday as a Supreme Court Justice granted them a new court-ordered compensation board hearing. In a tersely worded decision from a Vancouver Supreme Court room, Justice A. Saunders said the decision handed down by the Worker’s Compensation Appeal Tribunal in September, 2010 was unfair. “It was manifestly unfair to the petitioners. The panel’s conclusion was patently unreasonable,” Saunders wrote in his ruling. B.C. Teacher’s Federation president Susan Lambert is lauding the move that she says has taken too long. “It’s a long time coming,” Lambert told the Townsman. “It’s a good ruling. It’s a strong rul-

ing. That’s very strong language from a Justice.” Saunders ordered the case be sent back to the WCAT for another hearing, where the teachers will go through the process all over again. The teachers spurred the Supreme Court case after filing a judicial review in June of this year. The WCAT found in 2010 that the teachers did not suffer mercury poisoning at Mount Baker. “The panel found that the evidence was insufficient to establish that the workers suffered from mercury poisoning,” the ruling said. “The workers did not have an occupational disease due to the nature of their employment.” Lambert said the six teachers began noticing symptoms of mercury poisoning in 2004 and 2005, and have been fighting to be covered by the Worker’s Compensation Board ever since.

Mentors making a difference Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada celebrates 100 years of helping children

S a l ly Mac D o n a ld Townsman Staff

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada will celebrate its centennial next year, and the Cranbrook branch is joining in the celebrations. 2013 marks 100 years that Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada has been providing mentoring programs for young people, both one-toone and in groups. Cranbrook’s chapter began in 1977 and by 2011 it had grown to 108 matches between a mentor and a youth.

“In the beginning, it was a group of volunteers who felt it was really important, and they were the ones making it happen,” said Dana Osiowy, executive director of Cranbrook’s Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS). “The movement has really grown and become far more developed.” Now BBBS is preparing for a year-long centennial celebration. The national organization will publish a book of mentoring stories, it will

have a stamp in its honour, and it provide a unique opportunity for Canadians to talk about the mentors in their own lives. “Across Canada, the conversation will be about who was your mentor,” said Osiowy. “Everyone will be talking about who has made that change in your life. I am really excited about that.” In January, BBBS will release a multi-year research project on the effects of mentoring on children.

“It will be one of the most comprehensive studies ever done on the subject,” said Osiowy. Also part of centennial celebrations, BBBS will release marketing research surveys on anti-bullying, youth social consciousness, academic success and civic engagement. It will hold a national youth summit in April, and a national mentoring symposium in November. September 18 will be

programs last week. The funding across the province totalled $2.4 million for 68 community-based literacy programs for 2012 and 2013 through the Community Adult Literacy Program. That means 6,400 B.C. residents will have accessed to literacy programs when they need it. Each literacy group like CBAL uses the funding to provide worthwhile services including one-on-one tutoring, small classes and programs that target adults, Aboriginal learners, young parents and others. “Literacy is essential to an individual’s self-esteem and productivity,” said MLA for Kootenay East Bill Bennett. “It enhances personal life, family life, and community life. I am proud to be part of a government that invests in adult literacy programs and contributes to the improved daily life of our citizens and their families.” Need help with current events?

Police and emergency personnel are pictured at the scene of a two vehicle collision Wednesday morning, Dec. 5. A 52-year-old woman succumbed to injuries at the scene.

Creston woman killed in collision near Cranbrook B a r r y Co u lt e r

A 52-year-old woman from Creston was killed in a vehicle collision early Wednesday morning, on Highway 3 south of Cranbrook.

Corp. Shayne Parker of East Kootenay Traffic Services told media at the scene that extremely icy roads were likely the cause of the accident. He said members of East

Kootenay Traffic Services and the Cranbrook RCMP detachment responded to reports of a two-vehicle collision about 7:30 a.m. about five kilometres south of Cranbrook.

Six teachers get new compensation hearing Continued from page 1 “You’re doing it in failing health and initially their concerns were dismissed,” Lambert said. “The impact was serious on their health and has robbed them of the ability to enjoy life.” The symptoms of mercury poisoning include fatigue, headaches, joint pain, respiratory problems, tremors, weight loss, memory loss, insomnia, and irritability. Lambert said the BCTF did an enormous amount of work to investigate the claims made by the teachers. Cranbrook and District Teachers Association president Wendy Turner said in 2010 that the teachers did not enter into these allegations lightly. “It wasn’t a run of the mill case,” Lambert said. “It was a very unique situation – I mean I hope it’s a unique situation in the province.” Lambert worries about the students who were potentially exposed to mercury as well, but said teachers spent a much larger percentage of their time in the classrooms. “The teachers had to live in these classrooms, and had to live in them year after year,” she said.

Following the BCTF’s claims, School District 5 underwent a $200,000 investigation into the mercury situation at Mount Baker, and conducted some upgrades. Bill Gook, superintendent at the time of the allegations, said in 2010 that he hoped the WCAT ruling would prove that Mount Baker is safe for students and staff. Lambert said the BCTF is “absolutely not” happy with SD5’s response, and said the federation should not have had to take their claims as far as they have. “The fact that we had to go to this length – to the Supreme Court of B.C.,” she said. Lambert said the teachers’ concerns were initially dismissed by SD5, and it was a struggle to get to this point. She wonders if the six teachers have any fight left in them after years of health issues and legal wrangling. “I’m not sure how much energy they have left to work on this file,” she said. If the WCAT hearing goes ahead without an appeal from SD5, the teachers will have to repeat a process they completed in 2010.

Police determined that the minivan, heading northbound towards Cranbrook, crossed the centre line and struck a dump truck. The driver of the van

sustained minor injuries and was eventually treated at hospital. But the passenger was trapped in the vehicle, and died at the scene while emergency personnel were trying to extract

her. The driver of the truck was unhurt. The RCMP also said in a press release that speed relative to road conditions was a factor in the accident.

Checkstop season is upon us C AROLYN GRAN T Daily Bulletin

While Christmas day is still several weeks away, the Christmas season itself is upon us. That means office parties and visiting friends and neighbours. That also means there will be an increased awareness by police and increased check stops to check for impaired drivers. BC has tough impaired driving laws and stats do indicate that has saved lives. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. There are peak times when RCMP focus on impaired driving, such as long weekends and the Christmas season, though it is on the minds of members at all times. “RCMP conduct road checks throughout the year. The focus of

these checks is impaired drivers although we look for other infractions and offences as well,” said Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP. “During the festive season more road checks are used to increase awareness so everybody can enjoy a safe and enjoyable holiday.” This December marks the 35th anniversary of the CounterAttack program and ICBC is once again supporting its police partners in the prevention of impaired driving during the holiday season. ICBC reports that despite tougher laws and the annual CounterAttack program seeing reductions in impaired-related crashes, drinking and driving is still the leading criminal cause of death and remains one of the leading causes of fatal collisions. The CounterAttack

campaign reminds the public to plan ahead during holiday celebrations and choose a safe way home. Plan your safe ride home before you start drinking. If you’re going to drink, make the smart

choice: choose a designated driver before going out. Use other safe alternatives to get home safely: call a taxi, take transit, use a shuttle service, or call a sober friend.

T.M. Roberts School peers into history Annalee Grant Townsman Staff

It was a birthday party to remember for T.M. Roberts Elementary students on November 30. There was cake, party games and face painting, but perhaps the best part of the entire event was pulling the lid open on one of the school’s time capsules. Cranbrook’s largest elementary school celebrated its 50th anniversary last week. The school celebrated with the ultimate children’s birthday party, but it acted as a reunion for former staff, both retired and still teaching in Cranbrook. The event came about thanks to Dave Humphrey, former principal of the school in the ‘90s, and a local historian. He was of course in attendance along with other long-time staff members. Humphrey generously donated a staff jacket from the school’s 30th anniversary to put in the new time capsule being created by students this year for the 100th anniversary of the school. Aldo attending were Superintendent of School District 5 Bendi-

na Miller, trustees Trina Ayling, Gayle Brown, Olivia Bessanger and family members of the school’s first Principal, Jack Allen. The students got a special message from recently departed principal Jason Ludwar, who provided a video message to wish the school a happy birthday. Students pulled out a number of items from the time capsule including a paint set, an issue of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman dated December 10, 1973, a toothbrush and other school supplies. Each item had a note attached to it. The students took particular interest in a penny that was removed from the capsule, as the Canadian Mint has announced this year that it will be phased out of circulation. Jack Sandburg, who was the school’s first Grade 5 teacher when it opened in 1962, said the school has gone through many changes over the years. He remembers starting out at Amy Woodlands Elementary for the first 10 weeks of the 62/63 school year when the T.M. Roberts

building wasn’t ready yet. The schools split their time in half, with Amy Woodland attending in the morning, and T.M. Roberts students in the afternoon. Sandburg said the switch over at lunch time was a bit hectic. “Teachers were eager to get in because we had to get our chalkboards worked on,” he said. When the students finally got into the T.M. Roberts building ahead of the official opening, Sandburg said painting was still underway, but the construction crews were careful to create a quiet workspace for the students. “They did very little in the classrooms when we were teaching,” he said. One big change that Sandburg remembers is that there were no class size limits. His first Grade 5 class had 42 students. But discipline and expectations were different, and Sandburg said it would be comparable to what teachers see today in their classes. “The boys and girls were so well behaved,” he said, noting in that regard things haven’t changed, but demands on teachers have increased. “There’s just as many nice girls and boys as there are now.” Karin Robinson, who taught at T.M. Roberts in the ‘70s and still teaches Kindergarten, agrees. “We have way more needs that we have to meet,” she said. Every Christmas, T.M. Roberts would put on elaborate Christmas concerts and drama productions. Sandburg said he misses those theatre shows, and wishes they would have continued. “I think we’ve lost something there,” he said. “It was an awful pile of work, but worth it.” The school was origi-

Robinson remembers two portables being placed outside the school before the expansion took place. The gym doubled in size and the playground equipment changed as safety regulations did. Before the most important pieces of playground equipment were the baseball diamond, see saws and soccer pitch. Robsinson said the computer lab is of course new, and class size has been reduced significantly over the years. she has also en-

joyed the increased training for teachers and professional development days that have been added. “The five professional development days that we have are so valuable,” she said. “You address the issues of the day, it’s like putting out fires.” Principals taught every day, and there was a teacher on staff called the “relieving teacher” who stepped in when the principal had administrative duties. Sandburg said students came from the west side of Cranbrook including Wattsville

Road, Jim Smith Lake, Gyro Park and Slaterville. Now T.M. Roberts attracts students from all over town because of the French Immersion program. For both Robinson and Sandburg, the best part of their careers in educations has been the students they teach. Sandburg remembers being busy helping students towards the end of class one day, and two older students offering to help de-escalate a bullying situation. They successfully did, taking the bullying victim under their wing. “I felt really good,”

Sandburg said, reflecting on the leadership shown by the students. “It stuck with me for 50 years.” Robinson said no two days are the same, and no two classes are the same each year. “Teaching is an adventure every day. You laugh all the time, that’s the beautiful part of teaching. The children are so open and honest,” she said. “The children change, the curriculum changes: I don’t have to move. Every class has its own dynamics. “It’s a career that I’ve been lucky to have.”

Beware of skating on thin ice Continued from page 1 “Our Public Works department does check the ice thickness at Idlewild Park on a regular basis,” Zettel said. “The ice must be at least six inches thick before it is considered safe to be on.” The city also has daily up-

dates available for residents to check at Western Financial Place. The latest ice conditions are available through Leisure Services by calling (250) 4890220. Thin Ice signs will remain in place at Idlewild and Elizabeth lakes until the situation is safe.

For now, indoor skating opportunities are plentiful. Thanks to the Kin Club of Cranbrook, there will be free skate times throughout the month, including on Christmas Eve. Free skating times are Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

and Fridays 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. On December 24, 27 through 31, and January 2 to 4 times will be 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more details visit www. westernfinancialplace.com, and click on Kin Club Public Skating Schedule, or call Leisure Services.

Hot on the heels of a successful production of Steel Magnolias, Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) is bringing a classic story with a twist to the Studio/Stage Door in December. “It’s a Wonderful Life, the Live Radio Show” transports the audience to Studio B in Manhattan where they take part in a live reading of the beloved Christmas tale “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Audience members are in for a treat as each actor reads the lines of several characters from the film. On-stage sound effects and commercial jingles are re-created by the cast, setting the scene of this popular radio station in the 1940s and engaging the audience as though they are part of the performance. When director Terry Miller was asked why he would want to revive “It’s a Wonderful Life, the Live Radio Show” merely two years after he originally presented it, he replied by listing off a long list of contributing factors. “First was the observation that Christmas is interlaced with a wide variety of tradition,” Miller said. “There are many styles of tradition involving the arts, including entertainment like movies, plays, choirs and even ballet. “Then, ‘Wonderful Life’ is such a good story, it is sometimes so important to be remind-

an odd bit of theatre. Theatre is the most fun when we work slightly outside of the normal boundaries. There are

so, so many ways to tell a story.” Miller said it’s also a very important piece for the actors. “Two of

The magic is fading, slowly but surely

ren’t we all agog with the news of the royal pregnancy? Kate is expecting, and we subjects of the British Empire are rapt. Her morning sickness has pushed out of the way the news of Syrian civil war, socalled fiscal cliffs, NHL lock-outs and the pipes groaning beneath our feet. To be fair, this news is of some small historical import. The child will ultimately be third in line to the Throne of the United Kingdom, presuming that the constitutional rules are rejigged so that if it is a girl, she will inherit even if she eventually has younger brothers. Again, this moment is only of small historical import. We have to ask ourselves if there will even be a throne for the child to inherit when his or her time comes. The House of Windsor have most other clans beat when it comes to longevity. Some say it’s because of the Royal family’s Japanese diet. Others say it’s because of the genetic stock inserted by the late Queen Mother’s family, the Bowes-Lyons, doncha know. The Queen’s mother died at age 101. People say that, accordingly, subsequent generations of Windsors will all be an equally long-lived bunch. Let’s apply a little morbid arithmetic, estimating that all members of the House of Windsor who are in line to the throne will achieve centenarian status. After all, people are living long these days. With more focus of personal health, more

awareness of proper nutrition, advances in modern and naturopathic medicine and more comfortable standards of living, more and more of us can reasonably expect to reach 100 years of age, unless fate intervenes. Thus, Queen Elizabeth at age 86 can expect to reign over us for another 14 years or so. This will make the now 64-year-old Charles 78 when he asBarry cends the throne, and he Coulter shall be our head of state for a further 22. William Duke of Cambridge, now 30, would be a relatively youthful 66 (and by then, 66 will be the new 46, as they say) when he is crowned King William V. His 36-year-old son or daughter will be on hand to celebrate this coronation, perhaps thinking ahead to when he or she ascends the throne at age 70 or so, to become the 15th monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, which was formed in 1707. For the record, I will be 120 years of age at this point — and probably still late with my City utilities bill. A lot of history can happen in 70 years. The demographics of Britain and the former empire are changing. The world as a whole is becoming more democratic and more pragmatic. We peasants are less inclined to spend our money on pomp and circumstance, to enable an archaic aristocratic minority to maintain a life of extreme privilege based on symbolism and outmoded, decrepit tradition.

Even in Britain there has been considerable republican sentiment since forever. The countries that now make up Great Britain were even a republic for a short while, though that whole Oliver Cromwell experiment didn’t work out that well. Support for getting rid of the monarchy has ebbed and flowed — mostly ebbed, ever since. At present, it is reckoned about 13 per cent of Brits would support becoming a republic — i.e., getting rid of the monarchy. Not enough support for a peaceful revolution. In the 15 countries where the Queen is still “head of state,” republican sentiment is higher. In Australia, the percentage favouring going republic consistently runs above 40 per cent. In Canada, it hovers around the same. However, even though we are all fully aware of the disconnect of the monarchy from the day-to-day lives of the rest of us, even though an inherited position of superiority based on ancestry alone is ridiculous in modern context, it is true that the magic of a royal progress can still move the most jaded republican heart. Especially if royals in question are young, beautiful and newly wed. William and Kate’s visit to Canada last year (especially Kate’s) proved that. By the same token, it seems a matter of fact that for the next three generations, the British monarch will be taking his or her place on the throne in autumn of his or her years. After a while, the magic will be gone, and the world, England and the former colonies will move on.

Opinion/Events

As I read Dave McGrath’s Tuesday, Dec. 4 letter, I was struck by two things: In regard to the argument that “Norm explains his primary role is to spout a nonstop smear campaign against the BC Liberal Party”, one only needs to read the column put in the paper by the MLA of our southern neighbour, Bill Bennett, to see what a real publicly funded smear campaign looks like. Mr. McGrath must have a difficult time remembering the political reality in B.C. for the past 11 years. How can Mr. McGrath glamorize Doug Clovechok’s “brag list”, when he has never held the political office of MLA? If we are to be guided by the track-record of Clovechok’s party – that is the BC Liberal Party – we need to consider the following: Supports Education: Does larger class sizes, unproductive labour talks with teachers, and cutting Special Education funding mean supporting education?

What about closing schools? Strong Communities: A slash in funding for women’s centers, social workers, and other grassroots organizations; cutting funding for community outreach workers, mental health and addictions support and services, domestic violence programs, and autism programs; narrowing the restrictions for Social Assistance eligibility while increasing the time people have to wait for help and failing to raise rates. Let’s not forget about the closure of hospitals, courthouses, and a slash to legal aid funding and support. Opportunities for Families: According to the 2012 Child Poverty Report, B.C. ranked 2nd for Child Poverty in Canada. Poverty advocates have made 15 recommendations in the 2012 Child Poverty Report Card. Meanwhile Premier Clark is still touting her “Families First Agenda” while offering little in the way of actual policy change.  Initiatives That Create Jobs:

Is this what offering 201 work Visas to Chinese temporary workers is called? What about tearing up contracts with the HEU, and and privatizing the positions. While we are on the topic about privatization, lets think about B.C. Rail, B.C. Gas, and what the Liberals want to do with B.C. Hydro. It seems that Mr. McGrath is mpressed with Doug Clovechok’s efforts to “rebuke socialism...”, yet he is arguing that Clovechok is fighting for the fundamental beliefs of socialism (universal health care, universal education, senior care, etc). Come election day, I will proudly have my white and orange lawn sign up, because I know that Norm MacDonald actually cares about my family, not how he can make a dollar off of my back – or sell my back to the highest bidder!

Nitros edge out 4-3 win against Rockets TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters edged out a 4-3 win against the visiting Golden Rockets on Wednesday night, breaking a tie in the third period to clinch the victory. Despite being outshot in all three frames, the Nitros traded goals with the Rockets over the three periods, until Dallin Wolf scored the game winner with five minutes to go in the affair. Matthew Mitchell stood in goal for the Nitros, making 33 saves while James Leonard turned away 20 shots for the Rockets. Golden capitalized once in five chances on the man-advantage, while Kimberley was denied on all three of theirs. The Dynamiters were playing with a shortened roster following suspensions to

Jeremy Mousseau, Tanner Grey and Connor Kutzner for a line brawl in Spokane last Friday, while Eric Buckley and Aaron Shubert served suspensions for the same reasons in Grand Forks on Saturday. Dallin Wolf drew first blood 10 minutes into the opening period for the Nitros, but Golden responded with five minutes to go. Jason Richter put Kimberley in the lead late in the second, but Carson George tied it up on the power play with two minutes remaining. Jared Marchi put the Nitros in the lead for the third time less than a minute into the third, but Jacob Bergeron tied it up 12 minutes later. Wolf scored his second of the game to win it for the Dynamiters with five minutes to go in the contest.

KOOTENAY ICE

CHRIS PULLEN PHOTO/WWW.CRANBROOKPHOTO.COM REPRINTS AVAILABLE AT: WWW.CRANBROOKPHOTO.COM

Kootenay Ice forward Collin Shirley focuses on the play while being shadowed by Curtis Lazar of the Edmonton Oil Kings during a game at Western Financial Place this season. Shirley has been named to Team West and will compete in the World U17 Hockey Challenge.

Ice forward named to Team West TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice forward Collin Shirley will be off to Quebec to compete for Team West in the World U17 Hockey Challenge over the Christmas break. Shirley, 16, is representing the Kootenay Ice for the second straight year, as Jon Martin, Spencer Wand (now retired), Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau competed in the same tournament last year. The young rookie found out about making the roster when his family got an email back home in Saskatoon. “It’s pretty exciting, I guess I didn’t really know if I made it so my mom gave me a call and

I was pretty excited,” said Shirley. “…It was one of my goals after playing U16, the next step was obviously here, and U17, so I’m really excited and happy to be there.” The World U17 Hockey Challenge is a 10-team international tournament featuring five regions in Canada (Pacific, West, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic) along with squads from Finland, Russia, United States, Sweden and Slovakia. Team West is usually in tough during the event, with a bronze medal being their highest finish in the last five years. High level hockey can be a small fraternity, and five other players on the roster hail

from Saskatoon, which will add some familiarity as Shirley noted he knows a couple of his teammates. “It’ll be good to see them, catch up and stuff, so I’m looking forward to it,” he said. Shirley joins 13 other WHLers on the roster, which is coached by Don MacGillivray, who leads the Winnipeg Blues in the MJHL. Being thrown into the mix of all that kind of talent is nothing new to Shirley. “We have a few practices beforehand, so we’ll figure things out,” said Shirley. “But everything, you kind of gotta go into it and work with what you got. Hopefully we’ll gel pretty quick and we’ll see how it goes.”

Martin was one of four Ice players to participate in the tournament last year as he suited up for Team West as well, which finished at the bottom of a strong pool that included the United States, Russia and Team Pacific. “It was great,” said Martin. “It was a fun time against all those other countries and some of the best hockey at that age group.” While teams win or lose based on their ability to come together, the international event is also a good measuring stick to see how individuals stack against each other, added Martin. “It was good to see where you were at and to see how other countries play—it was great,”

he said. Also participating in the tournament is Cranbrook native Payton Lee, a goaltender who plays for the Vancouver Giants. Lee, 16, is a highly touted prospect who will man the crease for Team Pacific during the event. Lee, who started the season in the PIJHL, is embroiled in a three-way battle for starting duties with the Vancouver Giants. WHL NOTES: Prince George Cougars captain Brock Hirsche has retired following season-ending shoulder surgery. Hirsche, 20, was limited to just eight games last year while struggling through another injury, and only suited up for 18 contests this season.

Sports Local curling skip to lead team at zone playdowns Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

A local curling team will begin their journey to the Tim Hortons Brier curling tournament this weekend in Trail, as they get set for zone play downs. Tom Shypitka along with Kimberley native Steve Tersmette, are teaming up with Creston curlers Josh Firman and Greg Terrill for a spiel in Trail, with two spots up for grabs for berths into provincials. The winner of provincials wins the right to represent the province at the Briers, which will be hosted by Edmonton in March. “It’s going to be tough,” said Tersmette, who plays second. “There’s two spots up for grabs and eight teams are going. The eight teams that are competing are there for a reason—they’re all good teams.” The team qualified for provincials last year, and the team is hoping to clinch one of the spots again this year. “Mostly kind of a learning experience for us last year, just gives us something to build on for this year,” Tersmette added. The team hasn’t done a whole lot of practicing together—it’s tough to find time to meet when members are spread out between Cranbrook, Kimberley and Cres-

ton—but the four have been throwing rocks together at some cash spiels. “We’ve done well at those,” said Shypitka, who skips the team. “We won two of those; we went to three in November, we won two and lost the third in the final.” Curling with team members that live in other towns is nothing new to Shypitka, who travelled to Kelowna to curl with Jeff Richards. “It seems more and more that the teams are going that way,” added Shypitka. “The days of one team being all from the same little town are almost gone now—it’s not like it used to be 10 years ago.” Both Tersmette and Shypitka expect tough opponents in Trail, singling out Deane Hornig out of Castlegar and Tom Buchy out of Kimberley. “I’ve probably played all of them before, in one way or another,” said Shypitka. “Probably the top guys—the Deane Hornig team from Trail—that’s the team we lost to a couple weeks ago in the final in that one cash spiel. “…But any one of those teams can beat each other,” he added. “There’s not a really truly dominant team.” Tersmette adds that it’s nice to have Shypitka at the helm, with his extensive competitive curling experience to draw

NHL, NHLPA exchange offers in CBA talks Chris Johnston Canadian Press

NEW YORK—A wave of optimism gave way to tension as the NHL and NHL Players’ Association spent a second straight day trying to hammer out a collective bargaining agreement. The sides exchanged proposals during a series of brief meetings on Wednesday afternoon, according to sources, in a bid to close the final gap in negotiations that have spanned more than five months. The urgency was evident as a group of six league owners shuffled between internal meetings and short sessions with players and union staff at a hotel in midtown Manhattan. At one point, Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs could be seen having an animated conversation with deputy commissioner Bill Daly outside the nego-

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! CAUTION:THIN ICE

@ IDLEWILD & ELIZABETH LAKES

Thursday, December 6, 2012 1ST ANNUAL COMMUNITY CALENDAR ON SALE! GREAT STOCKING STUFFER! The 16 month Cranbrook Community Calendar developed in partnership with Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services, the Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Rocky Mountain Printers is to raise funds and awareness for the British Columbia Professional Firefighters Burn Fund and help promote the local area.

The ice is just beginning to form on both lakes at Idlewild Park and Elizabeth Lake, along with the creeks and streams in the City. Thin ice creates many dangers for children who are unaware. PARENTS: Please advise your children of the DANGERS and to stay off the ice at Idlewild Park until it is six inches thick. The City of Cranbrook Public Works department measures the ice at the lakes. Please call Leisure Services before going out at 250-489-0220.

For many great fire safety tips around Christmas trees, candles and holiday cooking, please visit our website. Have a fire safe and happy holiday season! The 2013 City of Cranbrook Garbage Pickup Schedule is available now. Pick up yours at City Hall or download from our website.

As this winter season approaches, we want to remind you of the City of Cranbrook current Snow and Ice Control procedures to better understand why the City clears snow the way it does. The policy in place clearly identifies four levels of priorities for streets for City crews to follow:

STREETS Classification “A” – FIRST PRIORITY Major streets, hospital zones, roads that access emergency service facilities, roads with severe grades and transit routes will be cleared first. In some instances, snowfall is heavy enough and continual during the plowing process, that once these routes are cleared crews need to start them over again. That often causes a delay in getting to other areas of the City. Classification “B” – SECOND PRIORITY This includes collector streets, the central business district and school zones.

“We are pleased with the process that is ongoing and out of respect for that process I don’t have anything else to say and I’m not going to take any questions,’’ said Bettman. The two sides have cleared their schedules for the rest of the week after successfully getting an adjournment from Quebec Labour Board hearings that had been scheduled in Montreal for Thursday and Friday. That panel will only hear arguments about the legality of locking out members of the Canadiens if a deal can’t be reached in the near future. There was a sense that remained a possibility following the first gathering of NHL owners since the lockout was enacted in September. “We feel good about the information we got,’’ said Columbus Blue Jackets president John Davidson.

CITY OF CRANBROOK SNOW REMOVAL POLICY

KEEP YOUR HOLIDAYS FROM GOING UP IN FLAMES! When most people think about the holidays, family festivities and good cheer likely come to mind. What few of us consider is that the holidays also present an increased risk of home fires. Home fires during the holiday season often involve cooking, Christmas trees, candles and holiday decorations. By taking some preventative steps and following simple rules of thumb, most home fires can be prevented during the holidays and beyond.

Calendars are $10 each and only 1500 copies are available. Calendars will be available for sale at the Cranbrook Fire Hall on 2nd Street South, the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, Rocky Mountain Printers, Cranbrook City Hall and the Leisure Services desk at Western Financial Place.

tiating room. Meantime, players paced the halls while speaking on their cellphones. Even though the specific details of the new offers weren’t known, one aspect revealed another hurdle the sides have to cross _ the length of the deal. The league’s proposal called for a 10-year term while the NHLPA continued to favour a shorter contract, according to sources. With tensions rising, commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr kept themselves out of negotiation sessions for a second straight day. However, Bettman did provide a brief update to reporters after a twohour gathering of the Board of Governors, saying he was “pleased’’ with how things were progressing. That was about all he was willing to reveal.

The video of the flip went viral; he appeared on the Ellen Show and became something of a celebrity. In addition, the award winning film The Freedom Chair, chronicling Dueck’s life as a sit-skier was cleaning up at film festivals. And through it all, Deuck continued to win with the National Para-Alpine ski team on the World Cup circuit. Now Dueck is being recognized by National Geographic Magazine, and has been chosen as one of 10 National Geographic Adventurers of the Year. National Geographic says on its website that it selected the 2013 ‘Adventurers’ because of “their remarkable

achievements in exploration, conservation, humanitarianism, and adventure sports.” Austrian Felix Baumgartner, who broke the sound barrier in October with his freefall from space, is also among those selected. “For eight years, National Geographic has combed the globe to find Adventurers of the Year, each selected for his or her extraordinary achievement in exploration, conservation, humanitarianism, and adventure sports. This year, we selected people who are adventure innovators—a surfer riding giants; a skier landing the first sit-ski backflip; a mountain biker pedaling across cultural boundaries; a BASE jumper falling from space; and more,” the website reads.

He is in training now and the first races are at Panorama in late November.

BC is reducing the price of generic drugs to 25 percent of the brand name come April 1, 2013, and to 20 percent as of April 1, 2014. Currently, British Columbians pay 35 per cent of the brand name price for generic drugs.

For example, current cost of a 30 day prescription of Lipitor is $55 (not including pharmacy fees). Today, the generic version costs about $19. On April 1, 2013, the generic cost will be $14, and on April 1, 2014, $11.00

BC families will pay less at the till to ﬁll their prescriptions. And government will beneﬁt too, providing more resources to enhance patient care for seniors and families.

C anadian Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as “Take Five’’ caught listeners’ ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91. Brubeck died Wednesday morning of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment with his son Darius, said his manager Russell Gloyd. Brubeck would have turned 92 on Thursday. Brubeck had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and was the first modern jazz musician to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine — on Nov. 8, 1954 — and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and ‘60s club jazz. The seminal album “Time Out,’’ released by the quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the bestselling jazz albums of all time. It opens with “Blue Rondo a la Turk’’ in 9/8 time — nine beats to the measure instead of the customary two, three or four beats. A piano-and-saxophone whirlwind based loosely on a Mozart piece, “Blue Rondo’’ eventually intercuts between Brubeck’s piano and a more traditional 4/4 jazz rhythm. The album also features “Take Five’’ — in 5/4 time — which became the Quartet’s signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Brubeck’s longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond. “When you start out with goals — mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically — you never exhaust that,’’ Brubeck told The Associated Press in 1995. “I started doing that in the 1940s. It’s still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements.’’ After service in World War II and study at Mills College in Oakland, California, Brubeck formed an octet including Desmond on alto sax and Dave van Kreidt on tenor, Cal Tjader on drums and Bill Smith on clarinet. The group played Brubeck originals and standards by other composers, including some early experimentation in unusual time signatures. Their groundbreaking album “Dave Brubeck Octet’’ was recorded in 1946. The group evolved into the Quartet, which played colleges and universities. The Quartet’s

Dave Brubeck in the 1950s first album, “Jazz at Oberlin,’’ was recorded live at Oberlin College in Ohio in 1953. Ten years later, Joe Morello on drums and Eugene Wright on bass joined with Brubeck and Desmond to produce “Time Out.’’

“When you start out with goals — mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically — you never exhaust that. I started doing that in the 1940s. It’s still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements.’’ In later years Brubeck composed music for operas, ballet, even a contemporary Massachusetts. In 1988, he played for Mikhail Gorbachev, at a dinner in Moscow that then-President Ronald Reagan hosted for the Soviet leader. “I can’t understand Russian, but I can understand body language,’’ said Brubeck, after seeing the general secretary tapping his foot. In the late 1980s, Brubeck contributed music for one episode of an eight-part series of television specials, “This Is America, Charlie Brown.’’ His music was for an episode involving NASA and the space station. He worked with three of his sons — Chris on

bass trombone and electric bass, Dan on drums and Matthew on cello — and included excerpts from his Mass “To Hope! A Celebration,’’ his oratorio “A Light in the Wilderness,’’ and a piece he had composed but never recorded, “Quiet As the Moon.’’ “That’s the beauty of music,’’ he told the AP in 1992. “You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn’t make any difference where the theme comes from; the treatment of it can be jazz.’’ In 2006, the University of Notre Dame gave Brubeck its Laetare Medal, awarded each year to a Roman Catholic “whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity.’’ At the age of 88, in 2009, Brubeck was still touring, in spite of a viral infection that threatened his heart and made him miss an April show at his alma mater, the University of the Pacific. By June, though, he was playing in Chicago, where the Tribune critic wrote that “Brubeck was coaxing from the piano a high lyricism more typically encountered in the music of Chopin.’’ More acclaim came his way when it was announced that he would be a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors at a ceremony in late 2009. Brubeck told the AP the announcement would have delighted his late mother, Elizabeth Ivey Brubeck, a classical pianist who was initially disap-

pointed by her youngest son’s interest in jazz. (He added that she had lived long enough to come to appreciate his music.) Born in Concord, California, on Dec. 6, 1920, Brubeck actually had planned to become a rancher like his father. He attended the College of the Pacific (now the University of the Pacific) in 1938, intending to major in veterinary medicine and return to the family’s 45,000-acre spread. But within a year Brubeck was drawn to music. He graduated in 1942 and was drafted by the Army, where he served — mostly as a musician — under Gen. George S. Patton in Europe. At the time, his Wolfpack Band was the only racially integrated unit in the military. In an interview for Ken Burns’ PBS miniseries “Jazz,’’ Brubeck talked about playing for troops with his integrated band, only to return to the U.S. to see his black bandmates refused service in a restaurant in Texas. Brubeck and his wife, Iola, had five sons and a daughter. Four of his sons — Chris on trombone and electric bass, Dan on drums, Darius on keyboards and Matthew on cello — played with the London Symphony Orchestra in a birthday tribute to Brubeck in December 2000. “We never had a rift,’’ Chris Brubeck once said of living and playing with his father. “I think music has always been a good communication tool, so we didn’t have a rift. We’ve always had music in common.’’

SUCCESSFUL! T

he feedback started to come to the Chamber office around 7:30 Friday morning and it was all positive. Throughout the day there were emails, messages on face book and telephone calls reporting to us that the stores were full, that there were line ups to get into the stores, Consumers called to say, what a great day, hit lots of specials, got some fantastic buys, got all my Christmas shopping done.

We did however receive some feedback about the Black Friday name and so, some history. You never know it may come up in the next version of Trivia Pursuit “Black Friday” as a term has been used in multiple contexts, going back to the 19th century, where in the United

States it was associated with a financial crisis of 1869. Black Friday is the name given to the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping. The day’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that “Black Friday” indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are “in the black”. This year saw the biggest Black Friday to date in Canada, as Cana-

NEWS

LOS ANGELES — The moon took quite a beating in its early days, more than previously believed, scientists reported Wednesday. This surprising new view of the moon comes from detailed gravity mapping by twin spacecraft, which slipped into orbit around the celestial body earlier this year. Evidence of a highly fractured lunar interior just below the surface suggests that other rocky planets including Earth would have suffered similar bombardment from space rocks early in their history. Measurements by the NASA spacecraft called Ebb and Flow also found that the moon’s crust, or outermost layer, is much thinner than scientists

thought — only about 25 miles. The findings were presented Wednesday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco and published online in the journal Science. Though past missions have measured lunar gravity _ about one-sixth Earth’s pull _ Ebb and Flow are the first spacecraft dedicated to this pursuit. To collect data, the washing machine-size spacecraft flew in formation, orbiting about 35 miles above the moon’s surface. Their positions allowed them to peer deep into the moon. The mission is scheduled to end later this month when Ebb and Flow crash into the moon.

Astronauts assigned to yearlong space trip Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The two men who will spend an entire year together aboard the International Space Station are already bracing for a challenging mission. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly said Wednesday it will be like spending a whole year at the office. And you never get to leave. Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will blast off in 2015 for the longest mission ever at the space

station. NASA and the Russian Space Agency want to see how all that weightlessness affects the men. Russia already has experience with yearlong space travel. But it’s limited to the old Mir space station and more than a decade has passed. Kelly says his 9-yearold daughter screamed “awesome’’ when she learned the news. Kornienko’s wife cried. Kelly is the brotherin-law of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Where is NASA going?

Expert panel says US space agency isn’t quite sure, needs clear goals Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A panel of outside U.S. experts says NASA is adrift without a coherent vision for where it should be going. The report is by the National Academy of Sciences. But the panel doesn’t blame the space agency. It faults the president, Congress and the nation. President Barack Obama in 2010 told NASA to plan to send astronauts to a nearby asteroid.

But the panel of experts says few in NASA or the space community have embraced that destination. NASA hasn’t allocated much money for it and its vague strategic plan avoids mention of an asteroid mission. Veteran astronaut and panel member Bob Crippen, who piloted the first space shuttle mission, said he has never seen the space agency so unfocused. NASA officials contend they have clear and challenging goals.

NEWS Radio hoaxers sorry for crank call to Kate’s hospital Danica Kirka Associated Press

LONDON — Two Australian radio disc jockeys apologized Wednesday after impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles in a prank call and getting a London hospital to tell them all about Kate Middleton’s condition. The King Edward VII hospital in London acknowledged that the Australian radio station made the hoax

call to the hospital in the early hours Tuesday — and that the hospital fell for it. The 30-year-old Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant and is being treated at the hospital for severe morning sickness. A woman using the often-mimicked voice of Britain’s monarch asked after the duchess’ health — and was told by a nurse that Kate “hasn’t had any retching with me and she’s been sleeping

on and off.’’ “She’s sleeping at the moment and she has had an uneventful night. She’s been given some fluids. She’s stable at the moment,’’ the kindly nurse informed the supposed queen and prince on the station’s recording. A dog yaps in the background while the alleged queen and prince talk about travelling to the hospital to check in on the patient. “I would suggest that any time after 9 o’clock will be

suitable to visit,’’ the nurse said. “We’ll be getting her freshened up.’’ The duchess is married to the queen’s grandson, Prince William. The hospital says the call had been transferred to the ward and the conversation was held with one of its nursing staff. Its telephone protocols are now being reviewed, the hospital said in a statement. The Australian station

French chateau razed ‘by mistake’

Thomas Adamson Associated Press

PARIS — Residents of a sleepy French village in Bordeaux have been left dumbfounded after discovering their local 18th-century chateau was completely bulldozed “by mistake.’’ The mayor’s office in Yvrac said Wednesday that workers who were hired to renovate the grand 13,000 square metre manor and raze a small building on the same estate in southwest France mixed them up. “The Chateau de Bellevue was Yvrac’s pride and joy,’’ said former owner Juliette Marmie. “The whole village is in shock. How can this construction firm make such a mistake?’’ Local media reported that the construction

The 18th century French chateau owned by Russian businessman Dmitry Stroski was torn down by accident. company misunderstood the renovation plans of the current owner, Russian businessman Dmitry Stroskin, to clean up the manor and restore it to its former baroque glory. Stroskin was away

when the calamity occurred and returned home to discover his chateau, a local treasure boasting a grand hall that could host some 200 people, as well as a sweeping stone staircase — was nothing but rubble.

“I’m in shock ...I understand the turmoil of the community,’’ local media quoted Stroskin as saying. He told them he plans to build an exact replica of lost manor on the site.

EDMONTON — An Alberta emergency room doctor has told a public inquiry medical staff were once pres-

other sick people. The VIP was not named by Parks and neither was the executive. Parks says staff balked at the request — they re-evaluated the VIP’s condition and decided the patient needed to wait like everyone else. Parks says he and his fellow emergency room doctors agreed afterwards that they would never let anyone jump a queue for care. The inquiry, called by Premier Alison Redford to look into allegations queue-jumping, began hearing from witnesses on Monday. So far, executives have talked about preferential treatment being an accepted practice under the old regional health boards, but no one was able to cite any examples.

we’ve caused any issues and we’re glad to hear that Kate is doing well.’’ The duchess is spending her third day in the hospital. William visited his wife at the hospital on Wednesday, while media from around the world camped outside, seeking any news on the royal pregnancy. Officials from St. James’s Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child.

NEW YORK — Thanks to the election, socialism and capitalism are forever wed as Merriam-Webster’s most looked-up words of 2012. Traffic for the unlikely pair on the company’s website about doubled this year from the year before as the health care debate heated up and discussion intensified over “American capitalism’’ versus “European socialism,’’ said the editor at large, Peter Sokolowski. The choice revealed Wednesday was “kind of a no-brainer,’’ he said. The side-by-side interest among political candidates and around kitchen tables prompted the dictionary folk to settle on two words of the year rather than one for the first time since the accolade began in 2003. “They’re words that sort of encapsulate the zeitgeist. They’re words that are in the national conversation,’’ said Sokolowski from company headquarters in Springfield, Mass. Democracy, globalization, marriage and bigot — all touched by politics — made the Top 10, in no particular order. The latter two were driven in part by the fight for same-sex marriage acceptance. Last year’s word of the year was austerity. Before that, it was pragmatic. Other words in the leading dictionary maker’s Top 10 for 2012 were also politically motivated. Harken back to Oct. 11, when Vice-President Joe Biden tangled with Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan in a televised debate focused on foreign policy — terror attacks, defence spending and war, to be specific. “With all due respect, that’s a bunch of MALARKEY,’’ declared Biden during a particularly tough row with Ryan. The mention sent look-ups of malarkey soaring on Merriam-webster.com, Sokolowski said, adding: “Clearly a one-week wonder, but what a week!’’ Actually, it was more like what a day. Look-ups of malarkey represented the largest spike of a single word on the website by percentage, at 3,000 per cent, in a single 24-hour period this year. The company won’t release the number of page views per word but said the site gets about 1.2 billion overall each year. Malarkey, with the alternative spell-

ing of “y’’ at the end, is of unknown origin, but Merriam-Webster surmises it’s more Irish-American than Irish, tracing it to newspaper references as far back as 1929. Beyond “nonsense,’’ malarkey can mean “insincere or pretentious talk or writing designed to impress one and usually to distract attention from ulterior motives or actual conditions,’’ noted Sokolowski. An interesting election-related phenom, to be sure, but malarkey is no dead Big Bird or “binders full of women’’ — two Romneyisms from the defeated candidate’s televised matchups with Obama that evoked another of Merriam-Webster’s Top 10 — meme. While malarkey’s history is shaded, meme’s roots are easily traced to evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, a Brit who coined the term for a unit of cultural inheritance, not unlike genes and DNA. The retired professor at the University of Oxford made up the word in 1976 for “The Selfish Gene,’’ a book he published light years before the Internet and social media’s capacity to take memes viral. Sokolowski said traffic for meme more than doubled this year over 2011, with dramatic spikes pegged to political-related subjects that included Romney’s Big Bird and binders remarks, social media shares of images pegged to Hillary Rodham Clinton texting and Obama’s “horses and bayonets’’ debate rebuke of Romney in an exchange over the size of the Navy. Other words in Merriam-Webster’s Top 10 for 2012: • Touche, thanks in part to “Survivor’’ contestant Kat Edorsson misusing the word to mean “tough luck’’ rather than point well made, before she was voted off the island in May. Look-ups at Merriam-webster.com were up sevenfold this year over 2011. • Schadenfreude, made up of the German words for “damage’’ and “joy,’’ meaning taking pleasure in the misery of others, was used broadly in the media after the election. Look-ups increased 75 per cent. The word in English dates to 1895. • Professionalism, up 12 per cent this year over last. Sokolowski suspects the bump might have been due to the bad economy and more job seekers, or a knowing “glimpse into what qualities people value.’’

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My incredible husband of two years has a 4-year-old daughter with his ex-wife. I have actively helped raise “Christie” since she was barely a year. We haven’t communicated with the mother since the time we took her to court for refusing visitation, but my husband and I have always provided for Christie in every way possible, above and beyond the court-ordered child support. This little girl loves me. I have never tried to replace her mother, encouraged or expected her to call me “Mom,” or even so much as talked badly about her mother in front of her. But lately, Christie has been questioning my relationship with her father, saying the reason her mommy and daddy are not together is because of me. When I ask her to do something she doesn’t want to do, she says her mommy says she doesn’t have to listen to me because I am not her mother. Even worse, she’s been told that when my husband and I have a baby of our own, Daddy won’t love her as much as the new baby. Christie is obviously too young to draw these conclusions on her own, so Mom is giving her these impressions or telling her these things outright. I don’t know why any mother would want to hurt her child this way, but I worry it is going to cause Christie to resent me. How can we handle this? -- Stepmom in the Middle Dear Stepmom: Many courts now recognize parental alienation. Suggest that your husband speak to his lawyer about this possibility. In the meantime, when Christie is with you, do your best to counter the negative brainwashing. Let her know how much you love her and always will; that a new baby means she will be more important than ever, and the new baby will need a big sister; that everyone in the household has chores to do, and you want her to learn to be a big girl. As she gets older, she will recognize her mother’s bitterness, so please don’t play into that drama. Dear Annie: I am a recent widow in my mid-70s. I decided after the death of my husband a couple of years ago that I would live out my life alone. I don’t have much of a social life, but I do attend church services regularly. I find myself sitting next to a man who once spoke to me after the service. After several weeks, I could tell he seemed interested in me. After a few conversations, I realized I am 10 years older than he is. He seems like a kind and polite man, and his wife has been dead for many years. I am flattered by his attention and shocked at this chain of events. I would appreciate your input on the age difference. I am basically a happy, healthy woman, but this is a situation I could take or leave. So if you tell me to come to my senses, I will say “Goodbye, Columbus.” -- California Dear California: The age difference is irrelevant as long as you don’t mislead him about it. If you enjoy his company, we say go for it. There is nothing wrong with a companionable friendship, and if either of you is looking for something more, just be sure you are both comfortable with it. Dear Annie: You printed several responses to “Looking for a Relationship, Too” and included one from “El Paso, Texas,” who suggested that women take up shooting because “guys like a gal with good aim.” I laughed, thinking of a song from the Broadway musical “Annie Get Your Gun,” which was titled, “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun.” Thanks for a good chuckle. -- Musical Lover Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Legion fights for poor, homeless vets Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press

OTTAWA _ The Royal Canadian Legion, once counted on by the government to be the voice of reason among veterans groups, is striking a more defiant tone and demanding federal officials address the issue of burial expenses for poor and homeless ex-soldiers. A major annual conference among veterans groups is set to get underway in Charlottetown on Thursday, but the issue of the Last Post Fund _ and the fact it has rejected two-thirds of applications since

2006 _ is not on the agenda set by Veterans Affairs. Brad White, an ex-army officer and the Legion’s Dominion Secretary, said his organization will not drop the issue of funeral coverage. ``I can’t understand why they won’t fix that,’’ said White. Over the last six years, 20,147 applications were rejected by the Last Post Fund because the deceased veteran did not meet the eligibility criteria. To qualify a veteran must have earned less than $12,010 a year and

served in Second World War, Korea, or been in receipt of a veterans disability pension. There was a public outcry prior to Remembrance Day over the fund, which is an independent agency that administers the burial program on behalf of the federal government. White says the fund was not even on the agenda for the meeting, but ``we’re going to put it on the agenda.’’ The fund has petitioned the Harper government not only to overhaul the rules, but to increase the stipend given to those who do

qualify for assistance _ so far to no avail. White said the intransigence has left many in his organization, and veterans at large, dismayed. ``There’s obviously a need out there. It’s obvious it has to be addressed, but we’re celebrating the War of 1812 more than we’re celebrating the lives of the people who are relevant today,’’ he said. Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney defended the rejection rate by noting that over 10,000 applications to the fund had been approved and the govern-

ment had every intention to maintain the program. A spokesman for Blaney said there’s no reluctance on the part of the government to discuss the issue, and he expects it will come up. ``This will be discussed at the meeting as will many other subjects important to veterans,’’ Niklaus Schwenker said. The Legion’s assertive public tone reflects a major shift for the organization, which has advocated on behalf of ex-soldiers since the 1920s. Throughout the Afghan war, it was increasingly seen by mod-

Inmate claims he’s too fat to die Andre w WelshHuggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio _ At about 450 pounds (204 kilograms), Ohio death row inmate Ronald Post is so fat that his executioners won’t be able to find veins in his arms or legs for the lethal injection, and he might even break the death chamber gurney, his lawyers say. If the state is forced to use a backup method that involves injecting the drugs directly into muscle, the process could require multiple doses over several hours or even days and result in a grueling and painful end, they say. Post, who gained close to 200 pounds (91 kilograms) on death row, is trying to stave off

execution Jan. 16 for the 1983 killing of a motel clerk during a robbery, arguing that because of his obesity, an attempt to put him to death would amount to cruel and unusual punishment. State officials say Post, 53, can be humanely executed under both Ohio’s usual method and the untested backup procedure. The warden at the prison where the death chamber is situated even tested the gurney by piling 540 pounds (245 kilograms) of weights on it for two hours. Post has not presented ``sufficient evidence demonstrating that his obesity or other physical conditions will present a substantial risk that his execution cannot be

conducted in a humane and dignified manner,’’ Assistant Attorney General Charles Wille said in court papers. A federal judge in Columbus will hold a hearing on Post’s claim later this month. Post’s case is not without precedent: In 1994, a federal judge in Washington state ruled that convicted killer Mitchell Rupe, at more than 400 pounds (181 kilograms), was too heavy to be hanged because he might be decapitated. After numerous court rulings and a third trial, Rupe was sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2006. If Post manages to stop his execution because of his weight, the legal precedent may not be far-reaching, because

of the very small number of death row inmates who are that obese, said Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor and expert on lethal injection. And she said it is unlikely prisoners would begin stuffing themselves to try to fend off execution. Richard Dieter, exec-

ern-day veterans as too compliant with government, an image White concedes they’re trying to change. ``I don’t think we were ever quiet, we were just quiet in how we did our business,’’ he said. ``We never did things too loudly. We were more in the backrooms working the deals, and for a lot years that kind of stuff worked.’’ The relationship has grown irritable because the Legion gets the sense Veteran Affairs officials are ``talking down to us’’ and that the institution wasn’t changing with the times

utive director of the Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment, predicted states will find a way around obesity claims by adjusting their execution procedures, perhaps by changing the drug or the dosage.

and adapting to the needs of Afghan soldiers, White added. Despite the distance, the Legion is still onside with the government when it comes to the contentious New Veterans Charter, the 2006 overhaul of benefits and entitlements for ex-service members. The system was changed from one based largely on pensions-for-life to lump-sum settlements for disabilities. The charter is currently being challenged in class-action lawsuit by some veterans, who say the payouts under the new system are unjust.

Birdwatching with the rocky mountain naturalists

Christmas bird count is grassroots science Daryl Calder

ack in late October, signs of the change in season were becoming obvious. Skies were stormy, fall colours were fading and bird populations at Elizabeth Lake made their predictable changes. Not included in the 30 or so species observed were the shorebirds, swallows, flycatchers and warblers. These birds are unable to survive our wintery conditions and have made significant flights to the south or west to find something suitable. Many of the birds seen will still be here during the Christmas Bird Count which occurs in Cranbrook on December 29th and in Kimberley on January 5th. From December 14 through January 5, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the ‘Americas’ take part in an adventure which has become a family tradition among generations. Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists go out on an annual mission. For 113 years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to leave the comfort of a warm house during the Holiday season. Each ‘citizen scientist’ who annually braves snow, wind or rain to take part in the Christmas Bird Count makes an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this ‘longest running wildlife census’ to assess the health of bird popula-

tions — and to help guide conservation action. From feeder-watchers and field observers, to count compilers and regional editors, everyone who takes part in the Christmas Bird Count does it for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition — and with the knowledge that their efforts are making a difference for science and bird conservation. In these two local counts, a circular area is divided into four quadrants, each of which is examined by one quarter of the participants from 9 a.m. until about 5 p.m. Afterwards we do a ‘count-up’ or ‘Tally-Rally’ and enjoy a pot luck meal. We encourage those birders who maintain active feeders to participate by listing their ‘visitors’ and submitting them to us. In addition, a program which is made possible by the efforts and support of thousands of ‘Citizen Scientists’, is ‘Project FeederWatch’, a research and education project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada. Anyone in the U.S. and Canada with an interest in birds and a feeder to watch is welcome to join. Help scientists monitor winter bird populations while you learn more about the birds in your neighborhood. Simply lookup birds.canada.org. The world is changing quickly and birds are feeling the impact. Who would have thought that the gregarious and common Evening Grosbeak would disappear from our feeders? We certainly could not have imagined that the Eurasian Collared-Dove, a species barely

dently shooing many ducks farther down the flyway but the over 400 coots waited until the last minute for the right conditions. Evidently, the constant patrolling, charging, water splashing and occasional fighting provided enough energy to keep some water open. Like most rails it appears to be a weak flier but has considerable stamina once airborne. We can only guess that the ‘raft’ waited for a cold north wind during the night, pedalling furiously across the water with its feet, lifted off and headed south.

A few coots and a dusting of snow at Elizabeth Lake. found in North America when FeederWatch began 25 years ago, would spread from coast to coast and now be a dominant actor in the the dramas that play out in our backyards. As Elizabeth Lake began to freeze up, one of the continent’s most familiar wetland birds congregated in the shrinking patches of open water. An instantly recognizable species, the American Coot with its yellow to orange legs and feet, bright white triangular shaped bill contrasts starkly with the largely all — black plumage. The American Coot propels itself at the water’s surface with repeated forward and back-

ward pumps of the head, and while submerged, this accomplished swimmer and diver uses it’s lobed toes to skilfully manoeuvre its body to forage for aquatic plants. On land and in the air, however, it is more awkward. It walks with an ungainly waddle, all the while flicking the cocked tail, exposing the white undersides. To take to the air, this clumsy flier requires long running takeoffs, and usually flies low over water with the head, neck and legs outstretched. Preferring freshwater habitats, the American Coot is most commonly found on reedfringed lakes and ponds, open marshes and

slow-flowing rivers, but in winter it may also be found on salt-marshes, sheltered coasts and estuaries. For nesting, this waterbird requires tall vegetation in shallow water. Most northerly populations migrate southward in search of suitable open water, some as far as Central America. Outside the breeding season, particularly in winter, the coot gathers together in sometimes large groups for protection and for socializing. These groups may be called ‘covers’ or ‘rafts’. Sadly, for coots, this bird may locally comprise more than 80% of the diet of Bald Eagles. The hardening freeze was evi-

Old friends are like gold: Time to make up Note: I have a lot of emails and some letters on my desk and I will answer each one in the weeks to follow. I am sorry for the delays but my dog has been ill with diabetes and needed extra attention. However, if in the next few weeks I have not answered your emails then email me again with your questions and we will be happy to help you. Dear Wendy: I had a good friend and we had a terrible fight last week (October) and I fear our friendship is over. Do you think she will phone me

within the next few weeks? Do you think she is jealous of me and what I have? Does she like my husband because I don’t think she feels comfortable around him? Feeling Lost Dear Lost: There is a rhyme about friendships I think goes like this “Have new friends, but keep the old, the new are silver and the old are gold.” I think you need to pick up the phone and talk to your buddy. She is an understanding and kind person. I don’t think she will phone

ASK WENDY Wendy Evano you unless you make the first move. We don’t feel she is jealous of you but she does get a little agitated with you the way you act at times. We do feel she is uncomfortable around your husband because she does not like the way he talks to you; when she is around. We also feel she has talked to you about your husband’s

nasty mouth and gets tired of you feeling sad all the time. I think you both had a slight misunderstanding that can be rectified but you need to make the first move this time. I mean really, if you love your friend you will pick up that phone and tell her you miss her and want her back in your life. That’s what friend do, don’t they? Wendy Dear Wendy: I am finding it hard this year to get my financial situation under control. Recently I have inherited a bit of

money and think I should invest it. My husband wants to buy a new car but I am reluctant to spend this money this year. Do you think I am being a miser like he always says to me? I need some advice and trust you and your guide’s opinion. Feeling out of Carmoney Dear Feeling Out of Carmoney: That’s so cute you made me laugh the way you signed your email. I asked my guides if you had miserly ways and they said a definite no. However, your

husband has a tendency to like his toys and this car he wants to buy with your inheritance money is pretty high end. I think you should listen to your “gut” feelings, which are your guides telling you to hold on to your inheritance money this year and invest it wisely. You and I both know that you definitely don’t need another car. If your husband wants another new car tell him to buy it himself and make the payments; you have the type of personality that you will not mind that at all. Wendy

Rev. Helen Simonson 1930 - 2012 It is with sadness that the family of Rev. Helen Simonson, formerly of Edmonton, Alberta, announces her passing after a long and difficult struggle with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Helen passed peacefully at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pinesâ&#x20AC;? Kimberley Special Care Home in Kimberley, on December 1, 2012 at the age of 82 years. Helen leaves to cherish her memory her two children, Marilynn (David) Ryder of Bull River and Murray Simonson of Kimberley; four grandchildren, Kerri Ryder (Jon Pergunas) of Ingleside, Ontario, Tyrel Ryder (Jen Gleeson) of Jaffray and Calvin and Sam Simonson, both of Edmonton, Alberta; and one sister Ethel (Norman) Parham of Nanaimo, BC.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
