Next steps for brewpub

Take the Ball by the horns

Council approves Heidi’s application S A LLY MAC D ON AL D Townsman Staff

With cries of “yippee”, Cranbrook city council authorized a liquor license application for a new brewery downtown. Temporarily known as the Black Dog Brewpub, the new business venture by Heidi Romich of Heidi’s Restaurant was given an enthusiastic reception by council at the regular December meeting. Already, the liquor application has been forwarded to the city from the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. On January 7, city council gave a thumbs up to staff processing that application. The new development will convert Heidi’s Restaurant into a brewhouse and restaurant. The restaurant will be renovated to provide a family friendly dining area on one side, and a

restaurant and pub on the other side with indoor and outdoor dining. Romich told council on December 10 that the brewhouse was “not intended to be a nightclub, but a comfortable place for people to go after work and enjoy.” City council was very excited by the proposal. “We’re excited to see something happening downtown,” Councillor Bob Whetham said. “It fits in well with downtown revitalization. “And bringing culture to the consumption of beer is something that hasn’t been part of our traditions.” A development application is expected to come back to council, at which point public input will be sought. The community will also be asked to contribute suggestions for the brewpub’s name. Stay tuned to The Townsman for details.

City chooses key issues for regional debate S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s councillors will be heading to a local government convention in April with two battles to fight. On Monday, January 7, council decided on two issues to bring forward for debate at the annual general meeting for the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments on April 17 in

Invermere. At the meeting, Kootenay elected officials vote on issues to bring to the attention of provincial and federal governments. Councillor Sharon Cross suggested two motions for Cranbrook to take forward to the meeting, and the rest of council threw their support behind the suggestions.

Caregivers are not alone Living with dementia in the East Kootenay: Support is out there – here’s where to look A N N A LE E G R A N T Townsman Staff

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia affect 1,500 families in the East Kootenay, yet many people don’t know much about them until they are suddenly faced with the reality. The Alzheimer Society Canada has launched a campaign called “See Me — Not My Disease,” highlighting dementia and trying to eliminate the stigma that newly diagnosed patients deal with. Here in the East Kootenay, Darryl Oakley is working towards that goal while helping families become caregivers.

Oakley is the Regional Psychogeriatric Caregiver Support person for Elderly Services at the Cranbrook Health Unit. “One of the things I’m trying to do is reduce stigma,” Oakley said. While his focus is on caregivers and supporting families, Oakley has access to a wide array of information and resources for all parties involved. He covers the entire East Kootenay region from Creston to Golden and the Elk Valley, but he is based out of Cranbrook. Within the region, he said there are 1,500 families

dealing with dementia every day. “It’s a bit higher in the East Kootenay than other areas, and that’s really about the demographic,” Oakley said. Caregiver Support workers help in a number of ways. Oakley said every family that comes to him has a different need, and it’s his job to listen and come up with a solution. He can provide information on home care, facility placement and palliative care if the situation calls for it. “It’s the entire dementia journey that I work with families,” Oakley said. “It’s really to

offer support.” The first step is the diagnosis, and then for Oakley, getting the right information for the right patient. “We start with a ton of information,” he said. A diagnosis often happens when the patient or caregiver starts to notice changes in behaviour. If they come to Oakley first, he refers them directly to a physician for a thorough check up. The doctor then refers the patient to Elderly Services if they would like to access support there.

Support is there for dementia patient caregivers Continued from page 1 The needs of every family are always different, as the diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease depends on what stage of progression it is at. “They always have different needs when they come in,” Oakley said. Included in the hand-out information, is always where and how to access support for caregivers. “The whole goal is to make sure they know they are supported,” Oakley said. Across the East Kootenay are a number of support groups. In Cranbrook, services are offered on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Joseph Creek Care Village Board Room. In Kimberley, services take place at the Kimberley Special Care Home’s The Pines Day Program Room on the first Thursday of every month from 1 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. Oakley said the caregiver support meetings are invaluable. “Those are a really important piece for caregivers,” he said. Interior Health provides the funding for the groups in the area. They often assist families dealing with cognitive decline, or dementia, but other illnesses related to aging can be supported there as well. To be eligible, the patient must be over 65. These groups are facilitated with help from the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C., which provides services across the province. Oakley said they deliver services with the help of health units like the one in Cranbrook. “It’s a big province, and not a huge society,” he said.

The society tries to bring seminars to the East Kootenay at least twice a year, but currently does not have an office in the East Kootenay. Oakley said the services provided by the health unit vary. Sometimes he has to track down information for patients and their family in their mother tongue – which can be tricky. He remembers having to network with the Alzheimer’s Society of Australia once to find information pamphlets in a particular language. Oakley says that networking is one of the most important parts of his job. He has a great relationship with Interior Health geriatrics specialist Dr. Randy Grahn, who is based out of Creston. “That’s what he’s there for – to help us out,” Oakley said of Grahn. Networking is key to the seasonal Kootenay Caregivers Network newsletter as well. The newsletter is produced several times a year, with Oakley often contributing. It highlights certain issues for caregivers and provides information on where to access support groups. It also highlights research into dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. See Me – Not My Disease is celebrating patients across the country who live happily with the disease, in an attempt to reduce the stigma that many newly diagnosed patients experience. This story is the first in a series in the Tow n s m a n / Bu l l e t i n looking at what it means to receive a diagnosis of dementia, and what services are out there for caregivers and patients.

The four annual Family Fishing Derbies thus far have been fun-filled activities for young and old. Organizers have reluctantly cancelled this year’s edition.

Family Fishing Derby cancelled due to ice conditions, weather forecast B a r ry Co u lt e r

Organizers of a notable cancer fundraiser — the annual Family Fishing Derby for Kids with Cancer — have announced with regret the cancellation of this year’s event due to ice conditions and weather forecast. “It is with great regret that due to the current ice conditions combined with the long term forecast for the next 10 days and beyond, we have no choice but to cancel the Feb-

ruary 17, 2013 Family Fishing Derby,” organizer Shane Westle said in a press release this week. “There has been a lot of thought in this process and out of concern for the participants safety and respect to our valued sponsors, the decision has been made to cancel this year’s event.” Westle helped launch the Family Fishing Derby in 2009. More than 1,500 people take over Horseshoe Lake east of

Cranbrook each year for a family oriented day of fun activities, games and contests – not to mention the ice-fishing derby itself. The past four years’ derbies have raised more than $75,000 for kids afflicted with cancer and their families. The Family Fishing Derby is a non-profit charity that does not receive government funding, and relies on the generosity of volunteers and donors.

Everything enjoyed at this event is donated and everyone involved is a volunteer. One hundred per cent of proceeds go directly to children, and help provides the necessary emergency aid for families through the Canadian Cancer Society. “We look forward to next year’s event and want to extend special thanks to all our sponsors for their support over the past four years,” Westle said.

Time to submit CBT grant applications To w n s m a n S ta f f

Applications are now being accepted for the 2013/2014 Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs. The RDEK administers the Programs on behalf of CBT. Applications may be submitted by registered non-profit organizations, or individuals and groups that are sponsored by a qualified organization. “The Programs are in-

tended to be flexible to help address the needs of individual communities and support projects identified as priorities within those communities,” explains Shannon Moskal, RDEK Community Services Manager. “I would encourage qualified organizations that have a project they feel will benefit their community to consider submitting an application. If anyone is unsure if their project

is eligible, they can contact us at the RDEK and we will be happy to help provide them the information they need.” Application forms and proposal guidelines are available at the RDEK’s Cranbrook and Columbia Valley offices and on its website at www. rdek.bc.ca. The application deadline for project proposals is 4:30 p.m. Monday, February 18, 2013. Late applications are not eligible for con-

sideration. The funding decisions will be made by the RDEK Board of Directors on June 7. Last year, over a million dollars in funding was approved for various projects around the region. For more information, contact the RDEK or visit www.rdek.bc.ca. To learn more about CBT programs and initiatives, visit www.cbt. org or call 1-800-505-8998.

Towards health

Health authority, city council ponder ways to make Cranbrook a healthier community Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Interior Health wants to work with Cranbrook city council to create a healthier community. Community health facilitator Kerri Wall gave a presentation to city council on Monday, January 7, on the Healthy Communities Initiative. “I want to talk about working in collaboration: the health authority in partnership with local municipalities. We need the efforts of all of us together to move wellness forward,” said Wall.

She gave several examples of steps Cranbrook has taken toward a healthier community, such as the public produce garden, the farmers’ market, and Rotary Trail. “These are some things Cranbrook has done really well with regards to population health,” said Wall. Local government can improve community health by improving physical activity opportunities, developing bylaws that reduce exposure to second hand smoke, and bylaws re-

stricting vending machines and fast food outlets in some locations, such as near schools. Wall offered Interior Health’s expertise to city council when it can help. “We want to bring our resources to the table. We are hoping that if you have questions or need consultation, if you have ideas, if you need research or data, we would like to help in any way we can so we can work together to bring wellness in Cranbrook up,” she said.

AKBLG issues decided Continued from page 1

First, council wants to ask the province to reinstate farm gate sales to support the growth of the agricultural community and respond to consumers’ desire for locally grown foods. The motion points out that in ten years, between 2001 and 2011, the number of cattle ranching operations in the East Kootenay decreased from 151 to 78; the number of pig farms decreased from 25 to one; the number of poultry and egg pro-

ducers went down from nine to one; and the number of sheep and goat farms went from 56 to five. Councillor Bob Whetham pointed out that the Regional District of East Kootenay is presently working on an agricultural plan for the area. “When we get a lot of money being spent on developing an Agricultural Plan, and at the same time we are faced with regulations which inhibit any small busi-

ness from actually making that effective, we need to get our senior levels of government in line with what it takes to make this succeed,” he said. The second motion asks the provincial government to work with the RCMP to develop another level of policing services in municipalities. Rising RCMP costs are a problem for many B.C. municipalities, and a Peace Officer service could relieve pressure on RCMP officers.

How the tables have turned

woke up this morning unaware that I was about to have an awesome day. I flipped open my computer and the first thing I saw was a Facebook post from one of my favourite bands of all time, the Dropkick Murphys, saying their new album was out. Huzzah! But then I was struck by a confusing thought: should I go for the instant gratification of an iTunes purchase? Or should I order the hard copy and wait days for its arrival? I have almost every album put out by the Dropkick Murphys in hard copy. Each time one comes out, I lovingly struggle with the plastic shrink wrap, open the case and spin the CD around a few times. Then I pull out the album art and flip through each page slowly, reading every lyric, noting every scribble that contains a mention of this band I love so much. Then the CD goes on, and I listen to it over and over. Since digital music began, over the last few years I’ve had a policy when it comes to hard copy vs. digital. Terrible pop music that I listen to in secret is digital, music

that I love from indie to punk rock is hard copy. That way, so long as I keep my iPod to myself, no one needs to know that I have a huge weakness for Britney Spears. Actually, I’m not even ashamed of that. I’m a ‘90s girl, cut me some slack. But this morning, as I pondered the Dropkick Murphys, I stared at my Annalee shelf full of dusty CD cases. I really need another? Grant Did What was I going to do with another empty case after the disc takes up residence in my massive and more portable binder? Perhaps I could fashion a wall hanging out of my leftover CD cases. That seems to be the only solution And so I ordered the digital copy — continuing the decline of hand-held music in 2013. I already regret my choice. I don’t even know what the album looks like, however I do know that “The Boys Are Back” is an excellent song. I also realized that it reminded me of their earlier stuff, like “Good Rats” off of “Sing Loud Sing Proud” which introduced me to these Boston punk rockers when I was just 12

years old. And as a 12-year-old so-called punk rocker myself, having a physical copy of that album was very important to me. This all started a debate in our newsroom about how digital music has basically ruined the collecting of records. No longer can you take friends into your basement to peruse your collection of LPs, vinyl or CDs. Now you open up a folder on your computer’s desktop and say “Check this out!” and your friend can flip through the tiny print. Do kids even do that anymore? I remember my CD collection being a huge point of pride when I was a teenager, but thinking back there was another issue that digital music has improved. I brought that giant binder of CDs with me to every gathering and I was always so proud when a CD of mine was selected to be played at a party. But over the years albums were lifted out of it, never to be returned. Isn’t it funny that digital music, which in its infant years was accused of being a rip off or theft of music, has in turn prevented the theft of my own copies of said music? Lars Ulrich, your head must be spinning.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice run streak to six straight wins Kootenay takes down defending league champions with a 2-1 victory over the Oil Kings

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With their sixth consecutive win in a row, the Ice have climbed out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference, with the Brandon Wheat Kings falling into the basement. Kootenay defeated the reigning WHL champions in the Edmonton Oil Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night at Western Financial Place for the third time this season—all on home ice. Jaedon Descheneau and Joey Leach provided the scoring for the Ice, while T.J. Foster notched the lone marker for Edmonton. It was a battle of the goaltenders, as Ice stopper Mackenzie Skapski made 31 saves in net, while Laurent Brossoit made the same amount of stops for Edmonton on the other side of the rink. It’s been a pretty impressive streak for Kootenay, which has been steadily adding up points in the standings as four of those wins came against divisional rivals. Now that Kootenay has surpassed the Wheat Kings, they are now nine points shy of a playoff spot. “Everyone wants into the playoffs, that’s our goal in here and we’re not stopping until we make it and until after the playoffs so that’s what we want,” said Descheneau. Every time Kootenay has clashed with Edmonton this year, the home team has won. The Ice are up in the season series with three wins, while Edmonton has two, with the final meeting in Rexall Place at the end of January. Despite a rough first period, the Ice recovered over the following 40 minutes to win the game. Edmonton took the upper hand in the first frame, scoring the opening goal as T.J. Foster picked up a rebound from Ashton Sautner at the side of the net and went bar down despite

Edmonton Oil Kings goaltender Laurent Brossoit makes a diving poke check on Kootenay Ice forward Brock Montgomery during WHL action at Western Financial Place on Tuesday night. a valiant cross-crease dive from Skapski. Kootenay also had to hold off the WHL’s topranked power play after Joey Leach took a high-sticking penalty, but the Ice did well on the penalty kill. The Ice continued their success on the penalty kill in the second period, even getting an odd man rush, but the shot went high and wide. The Oil Kings had their own shorthanded chance, as Curtis Lazar nearly scored, but Skapski made a big stop. Skapski again came up with a pair of big stops on Henrik Samuelsson, kicking out his leg to stop the Oil Kings forward who shovelled away along the ice inside the crease. The Ice had chances their own, as Levi Cable was turned away on a backhand chance while going one-on-one into the zone, and Erik Benoit nearly made good on a breakaway opportunity. Just after Benoit missed his chance, Descheneau collected the puck and sniped the top corner stick side of Brossoit to pull the Ice even.

A two-man advantage in the final period proved to be the game breaker, as Kootenay’s power play went to work and got rewarded when Leach blasted a slap shot past Brossoit just over a minute into the frame. Though Leach patrols the blue line, he’s been on an offensive tear with points in each of Kootenay’s last six wins. “It’s nice to be able to put up points and help the team win

games,” said Leach, before adding, “I look at the six wins we got in the column more than the points I’ve got.” But notching a goal like the one he put past Brossoit feels pretty good, he added. “That’s always nice,” Leach said, with a smile. It turned into endto-end hockey after that, as both teams went to war; Edmonton looking for the equalizer while Kootenay searched for some in-

surance. Goaltending shone for both teams as Skapski kept the Ice in the lead with some key saves, while Brossoit kept Edmonton in the game at the other end. Kootenay has a couple of days off before hosting the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday at Western Financial Place. Following that, the Ice have two big road trips, with only one more game at home for the rest of January.

Senior curlers to compete for provincial berths this weekend TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Chynoweth testing the market as WHL trade deadline looms TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With the WHL trade deadline fast approaching, Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth is still waiting for the right dance partner. While other teams have made some deals down the stretch, Chynoweth isn’t ready to sign off on anything unless the right terms come along. “There is some interest in some of our older players, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get a deal done,” said Chynoweth. “There’s a lot of tire-kicking right now and we’re not going to make a deal for the sake of making a deal. We got to make the best deal for this organization moving forward.” With a 2-1 win over Edmonton on Tuesday, the Ice have climbed out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, as the Wheat Kings now occupy the basement. The key to the Ice right now is their potential—the club will that much more dangerous as those younger players in all areas of the roster continue to develop. Despite their youth, the Ice have been playing well as evidenced by their six consecutive wins, which has been possible because of noticeable improvement individually and as a team. When the Vancouver Giants began to struggle right out of the gate, head coach Don Hay and general manager Scott Bonner blew up the roster in an effort to build for the future, dealing away star defence man David Musil to the Edmonton Oil Kings for Mason Gersteen and a first-round draft pick. Vancouver also sent away Austin Vetterl to the Ice in exchange for a pair of prospects, and also dealt away Nathan Burns to Saskatoon for Travis McEvoy and two draft selections. While the Ice were struggling at the same time, including a sea-

son-worst eight-game losing skid, Chynoweth kept things intact, but added Vetterl and Zach McPhee, giving up a draft pick to Everett. While coming down the deadline stretch, other teams have been busy with some notable recent trades involving Kamloops picking up a veteran 20-year-old in Kale Kessy to bolster their roster, giving up Rob Trzonkowski and a draft pick to Vancouver. Swift Current also added some youth to their roster, picking up Jay Merkley from Lethbridge in exchange for Josh Derko and a draft pick.

“There’s a lot of tirekicking right now and we’re not going to make a deal for the sake of making a deal. We got to make the best deal for this organization moving forward.” Jeff Chynoweth

“I think the prices are high,” said Chynoweth, pointing to the two Vancouver deals that sent Musil to Edmonton and Burns to Saskatoon. “I think the prices are there, but you also have to find a willing partner. “One of the things that doesn’t help, is sometimes you have a limited number of teams you can deal with and that has separated itself in the last few days.” For his part, Ice defenceman Joey Leach knows there is always the possibility of getting moved on deadline day, but doesn’t allow those kind of thoughts to cloud the way he wants to play. “Obviously that January 10th date is in your head, but you can’t worry about it because you got to go out and play the game, so I think we’ve proven that,” said Leach, a 20-year-old in his final year of eligibility. “…You can’t have it in your mind otherwise you can’t play the game.”

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 56-year-old male dating a woman with a 13-year-old son. We plan to marry in the near future. The boy has no relationship with his father and is very fond of me, as I am of him. The problem is that he’s a mama’s boy. I think he is jealous of me. He competes for his mother’s attention and goes so far as to crawl into bed with us in the morning in order to snuggle with her. When we sit on the sofa, he joins us and places his mother’s arm around his neck as if to say, “Hey, what about me?” I’ve tried to ignore this behavior, but it is starting to wear on me. My girlfriend sees nothing wrong with it, saying they have always been close and it’s always been just the two of them. But I think this isn’t quite right. I want her son to grow up a bit. I raised three children and never experienced this type of thing with my kids. I feel she needs to do something to curb this behavior. Am I being insecure or territorial or something? I love my girlfriend and don’t want this to be an issue, but I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions? -- Don’t Want a Contest Dear Contest: Many boys at 13 are still children, and the cuddling with Mommy is not indicative of an aberration. However, this is also a time when Mom should be setting sensible boundaries and gently discouraging too much intimacy. Some boys can confuse their love for Mom with their developing sexual feelings. Please approach this carefully. Suggest that the two of you talk to the boy’s pediatrician about appropriate behavior, and make sure your girlfriend understands that her son’s long-term best interests must take precedence. For information and assistance, we suggest the National Stepfamily Resource Center at stepfamilies.info. Dear Annie: I married a wonderful widower nine months ago. We are both in our 60s, and he treats me like a queen. “Vern’s” previous marriage of 34 years was a great one. When we married, he had lots of photos of his late wife. He thoughtfully removed them, but what upsets me is that he put a lot of them, including their wedding picture, in his home office where he spends 40 hours a week. Worse, the centerpiece of his bookshelves is the urn with her ashes. I told Vern I thought this was a little odd, but he said it would be disrespectful to put her ashes in a closet. What do you think? -Second Wife Dear Wife: Vern was thoughtful enough to remove these photos from your presence, and his office is his own private space. And we can understand why he wouldn’t want to stick the urn in a closet. You can gently encourage Vern to scatter his late wife’s ashes somewhere that has significance for him or ask whether he’d like to bury them. But if he is resistant, we suggest you leave this alone. Neither the photos nor the ashes are in your shared space. You have no reason to be jealous. Dear Annie: “Frustrated in Michigan” said she sent her college-aged nieces very generous checks and didn’t get a thank-you note. She then called the mother of one of the recipients to see whether it had been lost. The check was then cashed, but still no thank-you note. In a situation like this, I wonder whether the giver is begging for attention. The gift was unsolicited. It almost seems as if the nieces are saying, “No, thanks, I’d rather do this myself.” I have been the recipient of unasked-for gifts, and they almost always come with strings attached. -- No Strings for Me Dear Strings: If a gift comes with unwanted strings, it need only be returned -- along with a note of thanks. But not to send any acknowledgement at all is extremely inconsiderate. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Lloyd was the ninth child of Allan and Elva Pocha. Lloyd was employed by CP Rail for most of his working years. No matter where Lloyd went he was always accompanied by his best friend Panda his border collie. Lloyd took great pleasure caring for his horses and donkey and spent countless hours with them. Lloyd loved to have coffee with family and friends. His favored pastimes were hunting, fishing, poker and auctions. Lloyd was a generous, caring, loving and fun guy and will be missed by many. He leaves to mourn his son Daniel Unrau, granddaughter Madalyn Wright. Twin brother Floyd (Cheryl), brothers Lornel (Florie), Clarence (Elena), Alden (Christine) and Randy; sisters Sylvia (Gordon) Pocha, Marlene Petersen, Trudy (Brian) Clifford, Audrene (Detlef) Harasiuk; sister-inlaws Debbie Pocha, Carol Pocha; brother-in-law Roy Bailey; 31 nieces and nephews, 37 great nieces and nephews, 3 great great nieces and nephew, and many cousins and friends. Lloyd was predeceased by his father Allan, mother Elva, brothers Lawrence, Gerald and Carl; and sisters Audrey Pocha, Diane Bailey and niece Ione Clark.

Mary Agnes Tallis 1946-2012 It is great sadness that the family of Mary Agnes Tallis announces her passing on December 17, 2012 at the age of 66 years. Mary was born on February 21, 1946 in Creston, BC. Mary touched the hearts of all who knew her. She was both kind and unselfish, always sharing everything she had with others. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for travel and adventure took her to many places, discovering new friendships along the way. Mary also loved to cook and enjoyed the company of her many friends. She will be greatly missed by all. Mary will be sadly missed by her two sons Bill Tallis (Brenda Carr), and Allan Tallis and her three grandchildren Jayme, Tannia and Ryker Tallis. Mary was predeceased by her parents Bill Swanson and Julia Pierre. A Memorial Service in honour of Mary will be held at McPherson Funeral Service in Cranbrook, BC on Monday January 14, 2013 at 1:00 pm. There will be a private family interment at a later date.
