City councillors ‘blindsided’ by west entrance upgrade project Denise Pallesen alarmed by changes in Elizabeth Lake plans that advanced without council discussion SAL LY MACD ON AL D Townsman Staff

The bear by the creek Couple recall the intensity and horror of grizzly attack in November
C A RO LYN GR AN T Kimberley Daily Bulletin
It was a beautiful, sunny late November day when Susan Bond and Peter Moody decided to go for a walk after a long drive home from the coast the day before. The couple, who live just off LD Ranch Road north of Kimberley, decided to walk one of their favourite neighbourhood routes, on the benchlands above Mather Creek. They had no inkling the walk would result in an en-
counter with a grizzly sow and her cubs only 40 minutes from their front door — an event that has left them recovering from serious injury and trying to come to terms with how such a horrifying thing could happen in what they consider their own backyard. Bond and Moody are both avid outdoors people and they have hiked the grasslands and forests around their home for 20 years and more. They had never seen a bear on the route they chose on November 25, 2012.
Susan and Peter sat down with the Daily Bulletin last week to talk about what happened and how they are dealing with it. “It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm,” Susan said. “I said let’s go for a walk. “We decided to do one of our usual routes off LD Ranch Road on an old track — we call it the Dam Road. We walked along the road, then dropped down to the creek at the spot where we usually drop down. Normally, we go down to the creek then go right back up to
the bench. That day we decided to keep walking right there beside the creek. In summer the bush is too dense for easy walking but the leaves were gone and we could pick our way going upstream. “I said, ‘oh, let’s do this. We may never do this again’.” “Susan was ahead of me going a little faster,” Peter said. “I was fascinated by the creek, looking at the ripples and little falls. She was about 10 to 12 feet in front of me.”

A Cranbrook city councillor is worried that council and staff are not being transparent. Councillor Denise Pallesen raised concerns at the Monday, Feb. 4 meeting about the city’s plans to upgrade the Elizabeth Lake entrance to Cranbrook. The project received a $50,000 grant from Columbia Basin Trust in December, in addition to $60,000 council pledged in 2012. On January 24, 2013, council began discussion about adding another $60,000 to the project in its 2013 budget planning. But Coun. Pallesen said on Monday, Feb. 4, that she was alarmed by how far the project had advanced without council approving a broader project. “I was not aware until the January 24 budget meeting that the city had made an application to Columbia Basin Trust for a $50,000 grant, and that confirmation of this grant funding was received on December 12, 2012, from CBT,” she said. Coun. Pallesen said she read about the CBT grant for the project in the Townsman, and read posts on a blog by
the Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook criticizing her for not supporting the project during budget discussions.
“If it was a brand new project that we didn’t have council approval on, maybe we would bring that back to council. But we’ve got a project, now we are just trying to see that project to its end and add value to the project. Wayne Staudt
“I do not object to beautifying our wonderful city, including enhancing visitors’ first impressions at the west entrance,” she said. “Nonetheless, there is process that we as city councillors must follow, and clearly this was not the case. “Although council was not asked for a supporting resolution authorizing the grant submission, I feel this is a part of the transparent process we have been elected to follow when considering taxpayers’ funds.”

First -time homebuyers seminar set for Thursday Submitted
With the local real estate market stabilizing over the past 12 months, the 2013 market is expected to continue with a stable trend. As many potential homebuyers plan a 2013 purchase, the leaders in the industry are conducting a home
buying seminar Thursday, Feb. 7, at the Heritage Inn. Jason Wheeldon, one of the speakers at the seminar, said that with so many factors to take into consideration when buying a new home it is no surprise homebuyers today need assistance.
“Whether it’s complicated legislation, neighbourhood selection, grants, legal considerations, home warranties, inspections … the list is endless. The use of a realtor is paramount in navigating today’s transaction. “Over the past 18 years I have presented
at numerous first time homebuyer seminars. The information we provide has been greatly received by past attendees,” Wheeldon said. “A homebuyer’s seminar is worth considering if you are planning a 2013 purchase in the local market.” The seminar will
Auditor General returning to Australia Tom Fle tcher Black Press
B.C. Auditor General John Doyle has accepted a job as Auditor General of the Australian state of Victoria. The appointment puts to an end a bitter debate between B.C. MLAs about whether Doyle should have been offered a second term of six years. Doyle has insisted his term of office extends until next October, while an all-party MLA committee concluded his term was to end in May. The appointment of a replacement for B.C. may be delayed until after the spring
election. After one or more B.C. Liberal members on the committee refused to support a unanimous vote to reappoint Doyle, Premier Christy Clark stepped in and suggested he be offered a twoyear extension. She also said legislation should be changed to give B.C. auditors a non-renewable eight-year term, to avoid the problem of politicians voting in secret to reappoint their own financial watchdog. Doyle has shaken up the government’s handling of BC Hydro finances, forest inventory and other issues. He also forced a re-
make of the B.C. legislature’s own finances, revealing that MLA expenses were being paid without receipts. After Doyle highlighted the rapid growth of BC Hydro deferral accounts, where debt ballooned as the utility continued to pay dividends to the government, the B.C. Utilities Commission ordered BC Hydro to increase customer rates to pay the deferred debt down more quickly. Doyle came to B.C. from Australia, where he served as deputy auditor general for the state of Western Australia.
take a step by step approach to the purchase process and provide attendees with valuable insight and knowledge to navigate through what is considered one of the most important investments of their life. The leaders within the local industry will take buyers through a typical transaction, and experts will be on hand to allow buyers to consider all their options and to point out some pitfalls of a transaction to avoid. Preregistration is required and all attendees are asked to contact Royal LePage East Kootenay Realty at 250-420 2389 to reserve their seating.

Couple describe speed, terror of bear attack Continued from page 1 “We’d been walking for 20 minutes or so when I saw a little opening up ahead beside the creek,” Susan said. “The sun was shining on it and I thought, I’ll walk to there and wait for Peter, then we’ll head upslope and back to the Dam Road. “This is my memory of what happened next. I stepped out of the dense coverage and saw this big ball about 10 feet away. It didn’t register right away. It happened in a flash. One part of me was thinking, what is that? Then the sow raises herself up and looks at me. I saw the hump. I knew it was a grizzly. Immediately I was overcome with terror. I turned. In my mind I started to run, but I don’t know if I moved. I screamed to Peter — to warn him, but also so he would come and save me.” “Susan was ahead of
me,” Peter said. “I could see this little glade with the sun shining in. It looked attractive and I thought, Susan will go in there. Then I saw a large dark-coloured ball flying through the air. It landed on top of Susan and they just crashed to the ground. That was the sow. Then I saw two cubs running about. “Some people have the idea that Susan saw the bear and yelled at it. She took a pace, maybe two paces, turning away. That’s when she yelled, just as the bear hit her.” “What I remember is this,” Susan said. “I don’t really remember falling. I remember being on the ground. I have no recollection except hurting. The bear left me, then came back to me. I was lying there, I think face down, with my arm over my head. I don’t know about my legs. She bit me again,
Coroner comfirms identity of deceased man in Cranbrook B a r ry Co u lt e r
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in Cranbrook on Feb. 3, 2013. The man is Conrad Antonio, aged 19. Mr. Antonio had most recently been living in Cranbrook as a student at the College of the Rockies. Foul play is not suspected. On Sunday, Feb. 3, at 8:35 a.m., Cranbrook RCMP responded to a call from Emergency Medical Services about an unconscious male behind the Baker Street Mall. The man was found unresponsive in the laneway behind the mall. The person who initially reported the incident told police that he had been walking behind the mall and came upon the young man on the ground. When he couldn’t wake him, he called 911 and covered him with a blan-
ket. Mr. Antonio was taken to hospital in Cranbrook, but could not be revived. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death. Foul play has now been ruled out. It was also noted that the temperature has been reaching freezing levels overnight in Cranbrook in recent days. The family of Mr. Antonio has been notified of his death. Cranbrook RCMP continue to assist the Coroners Office with their investigation and are asking for anyone who may have seen Conrad between Saturday, Feb. 2 and Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, to call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or the Coroners office at 1-888-991-2111. Any inquries into this incident can be directed to the Coroners Office at: 1-888-991-2111.
then went away. Then she came back and went for my face. Maybe I moved my head. I don’t remember it all. I remember the bear crunching my cheekbone. I remember hearing bones breaking. “I was just laying very still. I wasn’t thinking play dead, though I suppose I knew that, but the intelligent part of my brain wasn’t working. It just seemed there was no point in doing anything but lie there. “After she bit my face, she sniffed the back of my head and neck. I was thinking, she’s deciding what to bite next. But then she backed away and left me lying there.” Peter describes what he saw. “The bear is on top of Susan, snuffling, doing some damage. I couldn’t see exactly what she was doing. I
“I don’t really remember falling. I remember being on the ground. I have no recollection except hurting. The bear left me, then came back to me. I was lying there, I think face down, with my arm over my head.” Susan Bond always hike with ski poles because I have dodgy knees. So I just instinctively beat on the back of the bear with the poles. I don’t have a clear memory of what she did when she turned, but she put me on the ground. She could have hit me or I could have tripped.
“I was lying on my back and my left side and I had my left arm up in the air. I looked up and saw her jaws and teeth coming down on me. My first instinct was to punch into her mouth, but then I thought, I’m giving her my fist — I will lose my hand and arm.” Peter Moody She was on top of me and went for my legs. Then she left and went back to Susan. I could still stand. I got up and whacked her maybe half a dozen times. She has thick skin and a lot of hair so I don’t know
how effective it was, but again she turned on me. I went down again. “I was lying on my back and my left side and I had my left arm up in the air. I looked up and saw her jaws and teeth coming down on me. My first instinct was to punch into her mouth, but then I thought, I’m giving her my fist — I will lose my hand and arm. So instead of punching, I wrapped my arm around my head. “Her teeth dragged across my skull, tore my scalp. She went back to Susan a third time. “When I saw that, I thought what do I do now? I wasn’t sure I could stand. But then she left.” “I haven’t really tried to estimate the time that the bear was on top of us,” Susan said. “I suppose it couldn’t be more than five minutes. Then
for a good 15 to 20 minutes we just lay there. I opened my eyes. I could see Peter lying there. We were facing each other, about eight feet apart. And I thought, what am I going to do if he can’t move? How am I going to get us away from here?” The Conservation Officers who investigated the attack later told Bond and Moody that they believe the sow and cubs remained in the vicinity as the injured pair began to make their escape. “They think she stayed around for some time. That’s just terrifying to think of,” Susan said. The CO’s also found a fresh deer kill close by and determined it had been killed by a bear. See tomorrow’s Bulletin for Susan and Peter’s account of how they got themselves to safety.

Councillors call for more transparency Continued from page 1
She also asked staff to explain why the Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook blog posted a concept plan for the Elizabeth Lake site when council had not seen the plan. “I am very concerned that the Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook are getting information before the whole council.” Chief Administrative Officer Wayne Staudt then explained to Coun. Pallesen how the project had advanced. “Council did approve the updating of the entrances to
the city in the 2012 budget and we authorized $60,000 to be allocated as city tax funds to that process,” said Staudt. He explained that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure had time available last fall to work on plans for the project, so the city seized that opportunity, forming a committee to work with the ministry. Public works carried out preliminary ground work last fall using half of the $60,000 council had placed in the 2012 budget.
Then, he said, CBT asked the city to submit an application for the expanded project. “We pulled that all together and made the grant application for Columbia Basin Trust at their request. We were successful in the grant application,” said Staudt. Seeking council approval for grant applications is not always practical, Staudt went on. “Filling out grant applications and coming back to council for resolutions is not normally our process,” he said. “If it was a brand new
project that we didn’t have council approval on, maybe we would bring that back to council. But we’ve got a project, now we are just trying to see that project to its end and add value to the project.” Councillor Diana J. Scott said she felt “blindsided” by the budget funding request. “I think it was just in the process. Not all of us knew what was going on, we hadn’t been updated, we weren’t kept in the loop, we weren’t expecting it,” she said. “I think there needs to be some better updating and
better communication because in my mind, it makes me think, what else do we not know about?” But Mayor Wayne Stetski said the process for the Elizabeth Lake project was no different to other budget items. “In one sense, I’m not sure how that differs from many of the other things I see on the list that we will be debating and discussing for funding when we come to that portion of our budget exercise,” he said. After the council meeting, Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook member Jenny
Humphrey explained how she came by the concept plan posted on the group’s blog. “After the budget surplus discussion and the difficulty we had in understanding these councillors’ positions on a project that was started last fall and on which they were now being asked to consider again, we went to the Ministry and asked to see the plan. At no time did any administrator or councillor provide us with information. The information we received is public information – there for the want of asking,” said Humphrey.

Diane Baher, Senior Manager, Cranbrook Services of EKC said. “Through our member surveys our membership indicated they wanted EKC to support health initiatives. “We have happily supported the Starlite Campaign for several years and have witnessed many East Kootenay residents benefit from the Starlite fundraiser. As usual I am amazed by the generosity of the East Kootenay residents.” When the Starlite Campaign was born, EKC was with EKFH right at the start. Their leadership of lighting the first star each year and providing $25,122 in sponsorship over the past five years definitely encouraged others to give. EKFH is extremely grateful for EKC’s commitment and for their dedication to the foundation’s work. This year

IH gets new mental health service provider Submitted
Interior Health announced this week that starting this spring Axis Family Resources Ltd will provide housing and care supports in Cranbrook to mental health clients from across the East Kootenay. The new Axis facility will replace services currently provided through Hermosa Home, whose operators are retiring after more than 32 years of service to the community. “I was pleased to hear Interior Health has found an alternative provider for the great work Hermosa Home has done all these years,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “This is a
valuable regional service and it was important to me that it continues.” Hermosa Home has agreed to extend it operations until April 30, allowing for a smooth transition of clients to Axis beginning April 1. Axis has 20 years of experience in specialized residential services. It currently provides services to 1,200 individuals and families each year in B.C. Kootenay-based services include existing specialized residential services, family counselling, services for children and youth with special needs, a sexual abuse intervention program and caregiver/parent support
for children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. “Interior Health is grateful for the quality care Hermosa Home has provided for more than three decades,” said Norman Embree, IH Board Chair. Like Hermosa Home, the Axis facility will provide housing and care for 15 individuals with varying mental health conditions. “We are excited about this opportunity to expand the services we are providing to support people with mental health challenges in the East Kootenay region,” said Ann Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Axis Family Resources Ltd.

Local NEWS Biologists fishing on Moyie for burbot recovery plan Submitted
Beginning in mid-February, local residents may see biologists ice fishing on Moyie Lake, an important part of their efforts to recover the Kootenay burbot population. Residents may see selective ice- or boat-based fishing and the presence of large coolers filled with water to temporarily hold burbot prior to releasing them back into the lake. The work is in support of a collaborative research plan involving Canada and the United States aimed at restoring the burbot, a freshwater groundfish species distantly related to the
ling cod, which is of special concern in the Kootenay Lake and Kootenay River. Biologists will be capturing wild burbot in Moyie Lake to monitor stock levels and harvest eggs from up to 30 female burbot. These eggs will be taken to hatcheries and the juvenile burbot will ultimately be released into the Kootenay River later in the year. Moyie Lake has a stable burbot population, recently estimated at between 4,000 and 10,000 adults. Eggs that are collected here and raised for release currently provide the only source of recruitment for the Kootenay River burbot popula-
tion, which remains at significant risk of becoming extinct in that region. The February field work is one part of a larger collaborative plan to restore burbot to the Kootenay River that is now showing significant promise. Prior to reintroduction efforts, the wild Kootenay River burbot population was estimated at fewer than 50 adults. However, hatchery releases between 2009 and 2012 (produced from eggs collected at Moyie Lake) have increased this estimate to 375 adults capable of breeding and nearly 6,300 subadults currently growing to maturity.
• Burbot are found in Canada and northern locations in the U.S. and Eurasia. Efforts to restore burbot populations are underway around the globe, particularly in the southern reaches of areas of their habitat (including southern British Columbia and Idaho). • Changes to habitat as early as the 1920s and a significant international fishery through the 1960s and 1970s resulted in severe declines and ultimately the closure of the fishery. • In previous years, the number of burbot captured in Moyie Lake for the program ranged from 181 to 554 (2009-12). In 2012, 238 burbot were captured. • Restoration efforts are co-ordinated through the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative, a cross-border group with representation from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, University of Idaho and other international partners.
City thinks twice about sea can ban S a lly MacDonal d Townsman Staff
Shipping containers in Cranbrook have been given a reprieve. City council decided on Monday, February 4, to stop advancing a bylaw that would prohibit shipping containers in all but a few zones of the city, and limit it to a maximum of six per parcel.
Instead, City of Cranbrook staff will draft new zoning regulations regarding the use and placement of shipping containers with input from local business. At a January 21 public hearing, a dozen business people attended to ask council to reconsider the ban on shipping con-
tainers, colloquially known as “sea cans”. A local supplier of sea cans estimated that almost half the businesses in Cranbrook outside the downtown core use shipping containers for storage. After hearing from five business owners, councillors and city staff said they had no idea sea cans were so widely used.
And now, the mining of the near future…
Asteroid close call sheds light on new space race Philip Sherwell Sunday Telegraph
It will be one near-miss for man. But a new breed of space entrepreneurs hope it will presage one giant leap for mankind. When Asteroid 2012-DA14 hurtles past Earth on Feb. 15 in what counts as the closest of cosmic calls, U.S. government scientists will be closely tracking its path from Nasa’s observatory in the Californian desert. Not least thanks to the attention of Hollywood, the world’s interest in asteroid fly-bys has until now been focused on the danger of a cataclysmic collision. But for aspiring asteroid miners, the lump of debris the size of a school gymnasium that will pass at 18,000 mph within 17,200 miles — closer than many of the satellites circling the planet — symbolizes a new commercial opening on the final frontier. It may sound more like science fiction than imminent reality, but two U.S. companies have been outlining plans to harvest asteroids for mineral wealth in what they hope will be a 21st century equivalent of gold and oil rushes. They intend to deploy small satellites to prospect asteroids, then effectively lasso them, transporting them into Earth’s orbit to
harvest precious metals and liquids. The newest entrant to the fast-developing asteroid mining world is Deep Space Industries, which has just unveiled ambitious plans to send prospecting spacecraft in two years’ time and begin extraction by 2020. “It is exciting to be present at the beginning of the second space age, led by commercial businesses,” David Gump, Deep Space’s chief executive, told The Sunday Telegraph. “The biggest challenge for humanity expanding into space is the cost of launching material from the ground. If you can get the materials in space, that is a huge step towards expanding human civilisation beyond Earth.” His company is now a competitor to Planetary Resources, which launched last year with a roster of investors that includes Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, Eric Schmidt, Google’s chairman, and James Cameron, the film director and deep-sea explorer. Led by Eric Anderson, co-founder of Space Adventures, which took seven wealthy individuals to the International Space Station, Planetary Resources plans to use miniature space-
craft-telescopes to survey asteroids. It will launch them in partnership with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic space tourism business. Deep Space intends to rent space on larger satellites to launch three 55lb mini-satellites called Fireflies in 2015 on sixmonth missions to take photographs for the first close-up views of asteroids. A year later, it would dispatch 70 lb Dragonflies on return expeditions lasting two to four years to collect samples of material, identifying viable asteroids and bring them into Earth’s orbit to start mining by 2020 using a third generation of spacecraft, the Harvester. Deep Space expects to use a large satellite to drag an asteroid out of its orbit around the sun, and into the Earth’s orbit. The target asteroids would be small, maybe just 15-20 ft across, but if correctly identified should contain hundreds of tons of material. Extraction would focus initially on liquids that can be turned into fuel to extend the life of commercial satellites.

Supreme Court in Kamloops is expected to take three months. Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia are all charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Carry and Correia face additional firearms-related charges. B.C. Supreme Court justice Dev
Dley told 13 jurors Tuesday morning “we’re short one juror. “To make sure we have our full complement we’re going to select our 14th juror… . It’s my view we should start with 14. It’s better to have a full complement, at least to begin with.” The courtroom was a busy one Tuesday with five lawyers on hand and six uniformed sheriffs. Selection to find another juror as well as an alternate is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The issue is the el by the EU countries, Norway, Iceland Atlantic mackerel, whose total catch went and Russia. However, about 932,000 tonnes
was caught – 307,000 tonnes more than was safe. And almost half of that excess was down to the Icelanders, who caught almost no mackerel ten years ago. Icelandic Industry Minister Steingrimur Sigfusson told the Scottish Sunday Express: “In the summer you can see mackerel jumping on the water at the harbour, which is something new for us. The numbers coming to our waters are quite incredible and they double their weight when they are here.... Our catch will be above the scientific advice but all I am willing to say is we will be as responsible as our situation allows us to be.” Loosely translated, that means that Iceland wants a much bigger share of the Total Allowable Catch because it now has most of the mackerel in the summer, while the countries that traditionally fished the mackerel are digging their heels in and trying to hold on to their old quotas. “We will be as responsible as our situation allows us to be” could also be the slogan of the EU countries – and it isn’t responsible at all. Maybe they’ll all see the light before they fish the mackerel out, but the EU is now muttering about sanctions, and Icelanders don’t respond well to outside pressure. Everybody involved understands what’s at stake here, but they are all answerable to their own fishing industries at home, not to international law (there is none on this issue) or to some wise and impartial arbitrator. So there may not be a deal. Goodbye, mackerel. The problem is not really greedy Icelanders or stubborn British. It is climate change. And we will see many more disputes like this, some of them with a much higher risk of violent confrontation, as the warming proceeds and fish stocks dwindle.

Vonn suffers injury to end season but not Olympic hopes ANDRE W DAMPF Associated Press
SCHLADMING, Austria - All it took was a moment. Lindsey Vonn landed hard and tumbled face first with a piercing shriek. Just like that, her season was done. The star American skier was on the ground with two ligaments in her right knee torn, a bone in her lower leg broken. The cascading fall down the slope during the super-G at the world championships Tuesday knocked out the fourtime World Cup champion for the rest of the season, the latest and most serious in a string of injuries for Vonn at skiing’s biggest events. The U.S. team said in a statement it expects her back for the next World Cup season and the 2014 Sochi Olympics, which start a year from this week. The harrowing accident came after Vonn was lifted into the air off a jump in the opening race at the championships. As she hit the ground, her right leg gave way and she spun down face first, throwing an arm out to protect herself. She ended up on her back as she smashed through a gate. On the television feed, Vonn was clearly heard screaming an expletive as she landed, then a despairing “Yes, yes,” when someone asked, “Are you hurt?”
Race leader and eventual champion Tina Maze watched with her mouth agape. The concern also was obvious on the face of Vonn’s sister, Laura Kildow, who has been travelling with her full time this season. For 12 minutes, Vonn lay on the snow getting medical treatment before being airlifted by helicopter to a hospital in Schladming. Vonn tore her anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her right knee, U.S. ski team medical director Kyle Wilkens said in a statement. The broken bone was described as a “lateral tibial plateau fracture.” Christian Kaulfersch, the assistant medical director at the worlds, said Vonn left the Schladming hospital on Tuesday afternoon and will have surgery in another hospital. “She first wanted to go back to the team hotel to mentally deal with all what has happened,” Kaulfersch said. Vonn’s father, Alan Kildow, spoke with her by phone and said that she’s, “mad at the way things turned out.” His daughter told him that she landed in a clump of sugar snow, or ice crystals, that caused her fall forward, he said. “She’s a tough character. A very determined and tough character,” Kildow told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “She will be back.”
Hamilton Tiger-Cats round out coaching staff C ANADIAN PRESS
HAMILTON, Ont. Jeff Reinebold and James Stanley have joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats coaching staff. Reinebold was hired as special teams co-ordinator, the team announced Tuesday, while Stanley is the assistant defensive backs coach. Reinebold, head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 199798, begins his 10th season as a CFL coach. He also did stints with the B.C. Lions, the Edmonton Eskimos, the Las Vegas Posse, and was
most recently the Montreal Alouettes defensive co-ordinator this past season. “Jeff is an outstanding coach with a tremendous amount of coaching experience,” Ticats head coach Kent Austin said in a statement. “He’s a great teacher with a strong work ethic, and he has the ability to get the best out of the players he coaches. Players love playing for Jeff.” Stanley spent last season as linebackers coach with the Toronto Argonauts.

AVALANCHE VOLLEYBALL
College preparing for provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Though the Pacwest standings are far from finalized, the College of the Rockies is still preparing to host the provincial championships near the end of February. The league is still in play, and will be right up to the second weekend of February as teams fight for position in the standings, but the College of the Rockies will be the battleground for the provincial title from Feb. 2123. “We have probably the best quality volleyball that Cranbrook has seen in a long time with the top six teams from the men’s and women’s side here participating,” said Cori Andrichuk, the manager of campus life and athletics. “We’re involving the East Kootenay Volleyball Club in some capacity, whether it’s in a volunteering capacity or doing our three-ball duty.” The winners for the men and women, get the chance to represent B.C. at the CCAA national championships in On-
tario in March. “In terms of an event, the big focus is on the volleyball play itself,” continued Andrichuk. “Aside from that, it’s just having the athletes here, letting them know that they’re in the East Kootenays and that Cranbrook is home to a number of our current student-athletes and it’s a great place to be.” The College has hosted
College to our community as well as to those who are coming in to watch outside of our community.” Andrichuk is also looking at using some student volunteers to tag along with teams to act as a source for insider local information before competition starts. “We’ll have team hosts for all the teams that are arriving, they’ll be students from
the event before back in 2005. It’s a great opportunity to showcase not just the College, but the city and region as well, added Andrichuk. “Our recruiting team will have information out for the duration of the tournament about the College of the Rockies and the programs we offer, the benefits of being in a smaller institution,” said Andrichuk, “primarily to showcase the
the College that will represent the college to the teams that are here so they have an opportunity to get some local knowledge,” Andrichuk said. “…We’re hoping they get out into the community and we’re trying to put some packages together for them, whether it be bowling or the movies or something like that in-between when they arrive and the time they start to compete.”
Sponsorship and door prizes are a couple things that Andrichuk and tournament organizers are looking to secure before the event begins. Andrichuk wants to have door prizes and raffles for the quarterfinal, semifinal and final matches for both the men and women. “We still have sponsorship opportunities available. We’re looking for any type of sponsor,” said Andrichuk. “We have a sponsorship package that’s available from the college. We’re looking at our local community businesses to step in, if they can, with raffle prizes for our audience, whether, it’s a monetary donation, a gift in kind or a service in kind—we are actively seeking any and all kinds of sponsorship so we can make this a real focus of our community.” Anyone interested in helping out with sponsorship can contact Andrichuk at 250-4892751 ext. 3201.

Sports Kaepernick vows to take 49ers back to Super Bowl
Antonio Gonz alez Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Still steaming over the Super Bowl loss, Colin Kaepernick packed up his belongings in the 49ers locker room and made plans with teammates to work out this off-season. They won’t have to wait long. Kaepernick said Tuesday that he’ll be training in the Atlanta area within a week, and the strong-armed and fleet-footed quarterback will bring some of his receivers along with him. All of it is part of Kaepernick’s quick evolution from backup to starter that will continue when he enters training camp as the unquestioned franchise star. After losing 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans on Sunday, Kaepernick summed up his break-
out second season “as not being good enough.” He said the Super Bowl loss will stick with him “for the rest of my life.” “It’s good to get the experience,” Kaepernick said. “We should have won that game regardless, though.” A man of few words and a lot of yards, Kaepernick’s potential might give 49ers fans reason to be optimistic more than anything following the first Super Bowl loss in the franchise’s storied history. Kaepernick threw for 1,814 yards and 10 touchdowns with three interceptions in the regular season, starting seven games after taking over for Alex Smith, who will likely be traded or released in the coming months to clear salary-cap space. He also ran for 415 yards and five touchdowns. Kaepernick really
ran away with his new role in the playoffs. As San Francisco started utilizing more of the Pistol offence he made famous at Nevada, Kaepernick threw for 798 yards and four touchdowns in three post-season games. He also ran for 264 yards and three scores, including a quarterback-playoff record 181 yards rushing in a divisional-round victory over Green Bay. “He was fantastic the entire season,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. “The stage was not too big for him. He competed at the highest level and played extremely well. He showed a lot of poise, a lot of leadership the entire game. I can’t say enough, really. With Colin, it’s always just appropriate. “He’s got the appropriate amount of competitive fire when you

You just really feel him playing the game, upset when it’s the right time to be upset. And he does that with his own personality. I really believe that’s the way people should play.” Coming up 5 yards short in the Super Bowl will still haunt Kaepernick forever. He added only a few more new details on the final, fourth-down play. He said he audibled to the corner fade to Michael Crabtree once Baltimore showed blitz. Crabtree got tangled up with cornerback Jimmy Smith, and Harbaugh begged and pleaded with officials from the sideline for a flag that never came. Kaepernick remained testy and defiant when
questioned about his decision. “I’ll take Crab oneon-one with anybody,” he said, tersely. A year after losing 20-17 in overtime in the NFC title game to the eventual champion New York Giants, one thing the 49ers no lon-
ger have to worry about is a long-term quarterback. All of 25 years old, Kaepernick knows he has time to join Joe Montana and Steve Young as Super Bowl winners in San Francisco, which had been 5-0 in the NFL’s marquee
game. Being the only quarterback in 49ers history to lose a Super Bowl is still something that will simmer no matter how many titles he wins. “We had a good team,” Kaepernick said. “We just weren’t quite there.”
Indianapolis won’t mention power outage in 2018 Super Bowl bid Michael Marot Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - Organizers in Indianapolis plan to run a clean, positive campaign to win a bid for the 2018 Super Bowl. Instead of focusing on the game-day seating problems that plagued Dallas two years ago or the power outage in New Orleans that forced a 34-minute delay during Sunday’s game, Indiana Sports Corp. president Allison Melangton wants
assists to reach 100 in his WHL career...BROCK MONTGOMERY needs to record three more assists to reach 50 in his WHL career. SCORING STREAKS: SAM REINHART (14-11-25) has recorded at least a point in his last 16 games...BROCK MONTGOMERY (2-1-3) has recorded a point in each of his last three games. INJURY: TANNER FAITH will be out of the ICE line-up for an undetermined amount of time with an upper body injury. ONE YEAR AGO: After 53 games of the 2011-2012 season the ICE were 29-16-4-4, after 54 games were 29-17-4-4 and after 55 games were 30-17-4-4. UPCOMING WEEK: Tuesday February 5 Practice 3:45 pm - 5:45 pm Western Financial Place Wednesday February 6 Practice 3:45 pm - 5:45 pm Western Financial Place Thursday February 7 Practice 3:45 pm - 5:45 pm Western Financial Place Friday February 8 ICE vs. Spokane 7:00 pm (102.9 FM – The Drive) Saturday February 9 ICE vs. Moose Jaw 7:00 pm (102.9 FM – The Drive) Sunday February 10 ICE @ Medicine Hat 6:00 pm (102.9 FM – The Drive) UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENT: -Skate a thon, February 6th at 10:15 am - 11:30 am and 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm at Western Financial Place. Members of the ICE will be skating with children from Kootenay Orchards School. -Power Skating, February 6th at 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm at the Memorial Arena. Members of the ICE will be helping with power skating.
to tout why Indy would be the ideal choice to host its second Super Bowl this decade. “That’s not been our style,” Melangton said Tuesday on the anniversary of the New York Giants’ Super Bowl win in Indy. “Typically, when we’ve been bidding on all our events, we’ve pointed out why they should come to Indy and not why they should not go somewhere else, and it’s worked for us. So why change now?”
Indy has a long and successful track record of hosting some of America’s biggest sporting events. In addition to last year’s Super Bowl, the city has played host to the NBA Finals and an NBA All-Star Game; two AFC Championship games; the NFL’s annual scouting combine; the men’s and women’s Final Fours; Olympics trials in swimming, diving, track and field and other sports.
-Power Skating, February 19th at 4:15 pm - 5:00 pm at the Memorial Arena. Members of the ICE will be helping with power skating. -T.M Roberts Festival, February 22nd from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Members of the ICE will be taking part in a photo op and shoot to win at the school. -Special Olympics Bowling, February 25th from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Selected Kootenay ICE Players will be bowling with the Special Olympics group.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your willingness to look at the bigger picture impresses a higher-up. This person notes your ability to impart knowledge swiftly. Your softer side emerges when dealing with a child. Your protective nature is very admirable. Tonight: Put in some extra hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Follow the advice of a well-meaning associate or partner, as shocked as you might be by this person’s insights. Even if you don’t think that you have all the facts, stay kind and supportive. Ignoring the issue can only cause a problem. Tonight: Make weekend plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others could be challenging beyond any level you might have thought possible. Understanding emerges from your ability to come to terms with someone you care a lot about. You will discover the value in saying little. Tonight: Catch up on a loved one’s news.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will get a lot done ... and quite efficiently, at that. Be careful when making plans in advance, because you might need to cancel them, as you will today. You might be surprised by an older person’s useful insight. Listen carefully. Tonight: Go with a different choice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make time to visit with a child. You might not be sure what your expectations are with a professional matter. Your positive attitude and willingness to pitch in can only win you friends. Funnel your energy toward completing a project. Tonight: Get some exercise first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Understanding what is expected of you might be difficult. You could be quite exhausted from trying to switch gears. Listen to news carefully, especially if it is coming from a key person. He or she will share information that could shock you. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Do not underestimate the
For Better or Worse
liabilities involved in a work relationship. It might be best to keep things professional, no matter what the cost. What you might believe to be a mutual understanding could be a hot volcano that is on the verge of erupting. Tonight: Take a long walk. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be sensitive to how much you have spent as of late. A little self-discipline in the fiscal area will feel much better in the long run. Quit worrying about a potential problem. Understand what is happening with a child or new friend. Tonight: Add some mischief to the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Handle a problem first thing in the morning. Key associates or loved ones could come into a meeting with some interesting news. Carefully evaluate what you hear before launching into action. Do not be surprised if a key person decides to act up. Tonight: Your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) By midday, you’ll feel energized. Know that information
you might be keeping from a close loved one or roommate is fine. Some matters are best kept to yourself. An unexpected revelation could shake you up. Do your best to stay calm. Tonight: Time for a midweek break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your efforts don’t go unnoticed, even if you feel that way. Recognize that your hunches have more validity than you’d originally thought. Follow-through counts, especially when dealing with a money matter. Don’t forget to count your change. Tonight: Vanish if you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your playfulness might not be appreciated by a boss or older relative, but the friends in your immediate circle love your sense of humor. Be selective in what you choose to share with others. Someone reads you far better than you think. Tonight: Where all the fun is.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m a mother in my mid-20s and a very concerned sister. My brother, “Dennis,” is four years younger and the first to graduate high school. He went to college and had everything going for him. Now he is throwing it all away. Dennis turned to drugs and has missed important moments in our lives, such as weddings and holidays. He only shows up at my mother’s or grandmother’s house to take a shower, and then he goes out again. My family and I are trying so hard to point him back in the right direction. Two months ago, I had to have Dennis arrested for assaulting me. We are all worried that something terrible is going to happen. There are times when he is completely out of it and doesn’t know what’s going on. What do we do? -- Worried Family in Illinois Dear Worried: It is a nightmare when a family member is on drugs, because there is little you can do. Your brother must want to stop and be willing to get appropriate treatment. He’s not there yet. It is important that your family members protect themselves while being open to any genuine efforts your brother makes to get clean. If he is in college, notify the counselors there, and contact NarAnon (nar-anon.org) for support. Dear Annie: My nephew is getting married soon. The wedding will take place in Canada. My husband and I do not own passports, nor would we ever buy them, because they are expensive and we would never use them again. We have traveled to other family weddings within the United States, but we don’t feel we should be pressured to attend a wedding out of the country. We can’t afford it. Do you think we are required to be there? -- Soon To Be Family Outcast Dear Soon: No. You are not obligated to attend any wedding, and certainly not one that is beyond your financial means. While we believe family members should make an effort to attend one another’s special events, it should not require overextending yourselves. Send your regrets and a nice gift to make up for your absence. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Need Your Input,” the idiot who was critical of his girlfriend’s Southern drawl. He shouldn’t wait until she moves north. She deserves to know now that he is a passive-aggressive loser. Who would presume to tell a grown woman that her accent is offensive? I could understand if it were a grammar issue or if her language were laced with profanities, but her speech pattern is who she is. And she will not “lose” it if she moves north. It may soften slightly, but it will never go away completely. Clearly, this guy has other issues. If he truly cared for her, this accent would not bother him. In fact, most folks find a Southern accent delightful. It is soothing, relaxing and way sexy. I surely hope this lady discovers who this jerk really is before she changes her life for him. -- A Yankee in North Carolina Dear Yankee: We agree that if he cannot tolerate her accent, he should not stay in the relationship. But it is not uncommon for people to find one particular trait annoying, no matter how much they otherwise care for a person. And it’s a highly individual degree of preference and tolerance. You love your boyfriend, but think the way he gestures with his hands is appalling. You adore your girlfriend, but she speaks too softly for your taste. These are neither negative nor positive traits to others. This particular guy finds this particular drawl to be grating. He needs to figure out how important it is to him in the grand scheme of his relationship. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
