City capital projects top $10 million A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

Cranbrook city council approved $10 million in capital projects in 2013. This included $2.8 million on roads and $1.7 million on the spray irrigation site. Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communications officer, looked back on the year of projects in a presentation that can be found on the city’s website. In terms of the road program, the city con-

tinued the third part of construction on 14th Avenue South, this year focusing on 14th Avenue from 13th Street to 17th Street South. The work began in 2011. It included improvements to storm sewers, gutters and the addition of bioswales and a multiuse path, as well as paving and LED street lighting. There was also work done on Kootenay Avenue, as well as a highway frontage road.

Dancers surprise Team Dickson takes fitness teacher with entry competition to the next level

Aspire Dance students organized an entry in the Santa Claus Parade as a special gift for Michelle Navratil S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

During last Friday’s Santa Claus Parade in Cranbrook, one of the most lively entries came from Aspire Dance. Walking behind the float were several lines

of dancers, performing a holiday routine to Glee’s “Deck the Rooftop”. While the dance put a smile on lots of faces, the story behind it is also a sweet one.

Eight local competitors bring home nine trophies from national show

B A R RY CO U LT E R

A team of local women from Cranbrook accompanied their coach, Laurie Dickson, to a recent national fitness and physique competition, breaking into that world in a big way. Team Dickson took part in the Natural Physique & Athletics Association’s (NPAA) Canada Championships and Pro Show in Cal-

gary. For many of the women (six from Cranbrook, one from Castlegar and one from Invermere), it was their first such competition. As well as taking away nine trophies, some members of Team Dickson, entering as amateurs, came away as professionals after earning their pro cards. Laurie Dickson, a training specialist who runs As-

pire2BFit in Cranbrook, has had a long career in fitness competition. She has recently moved on to coaching and judging — the next logical steps in her career, though she is invited to do some guest posing at various events. Dickson was named the NPAA’s Coach of the Year for 2013. The Canada Sports Film Festival has produced a film

of Dickson’s career, shot in Cranbrook, which will air in Toronto in June, 2014. Dickson, who usually starts working with a client six months ahead of such competitions as the Canada Championships, says local fitness competitors are showing great interest in taking it to the next level.

Group’s aim: To help sick children Friends of Children supports families who have to travel out of town for a medical appointment

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Little Baby Q was born at about 28 weeks, weighing one pound and 14 ounces. Mom and Dad lived in the East Kootenay, but Baby Q needed the support at Calgary’s neonatal intensive care unit at Foothills Hospital. For the next three months, Baby Q stayed at Foothills. During that time, her mom stayed at Ronald McDonald House, while Dad travelled back and forth from Calgary to the East Kootenay to continue working. When Baby Q was finally able to come home, she still weighed only four pounds three ounces. She will continue to need visits to Calgary until she turns five.

The new East Kootenay organization Friends of Children supported Baby Q and her parents during those long months of worry, stress, displacement and separation. Friends of Children, which opened its East Kootenay office in Cranbrook in October 2012, supports families whose children need medical care out of town by covering the cost of accommodation, gas, and parking. It helps with medical issues including cancer treatment, premature birth and severe injuries. “The cost of it is the biggest one, and then where do you stay,” said coordinator Pat Chisholm. “Often moms are left and dads have to go back and continue on, or you have these

An East Kootenay mom shares her gratitude to Friends of Children. families where it’s a third baby and somebody has to keep looking after the other children and working. “It gets very complicated for families, both cost wise but also socially and emotionally.” So far this year, Friends of Children has approved 123 family requests for assistance with expenditures, reaching $25,045. The majority of sick

kids in the East Kootenay are sent to Calgary for treatment. In 2011 and 2012, East Kootenay children attended 1,334 medical appointments in Alberta. About 114 of those visits were for hospital admission. By contrast, 14 children from the region were admitted to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver during that time. The average cost of a family’s trip to Calgary

for a one-day medical appointment is $335, including gas, parking and motel. Friends of Children began as a non-profit serving the Prince George area. But in 2009, Cranbrook resident Gail Brown approached the organization about offering its services in the East Kootenay. “Gail talked to them about developing a sat-

CBEEN hosts inaugural soiree and gala evening Barry Coulter

The Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network (CBEEN) celebrated 10 years of existence and a growing profile in the area, province and country with an inaugural Soiree and Expo, held Friday at the Royal Alexandra Hall in Cranbrook. The non-profit organization serves as the regional network for environmental education professionals — 17 of whom hosted displays as part of the event. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the value of environmental education, as well as the opportunities available in East Kootenay communities, said Duncan Whittick, CBEEN Executive Director. “To achieve this, we invited a variety of community leaders such as government officials, School District 5 and College of the Rockies representatives, business owners, funding agencies and media,” Whittick said. In total, 75 people were in attendance, including representatives

umbrella network, and the value of some of our initiatives such as Wild Voices for Kids.” The event heard from several guest speakers who talked about the importance and significance of environmental education. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski talked about his experiences as a former environmental educator himself. Dave Quinn mentioned the importance — indeed, the spiritual significance — of local geography and how “ev-

eryone in this room lives lives dedicated to creating wonder.” Jenna Gunn, of Scouts Canada, spoke of environmental education’s growing resonance with residents — “people really, really want (environmental education),” she said. But there are always challenges, Gunn added: getting families outside into their geography, competition for time and volunteers, and of course, funding issues. “There are real costs involved for envi-

ronmental education,” she said. CBEEN is looking at hosting similar events, twice per year in local communities. “We are also working hard to host a National Environmental Education Leadership Clinic to the Kootenays in the spring of 2014,” Whittick said, “which would be the scaffolding to host a National Environmental Education Conference here in 2017, and would bring hundreds of practitioners and researchers to the area.”

ellite service for the East Kootenay that would be in line with what they did because she felt what they did was so important and would benefit the children in our region because there are very similar needs,” said Chisholm. The East Kootenay branch has been serving local families since 2009, but just last year opened an office in Cranbrook’s Kootenay Child Development Centre and brought Chisholm on staff to manage the family support. While the office is in Cranbrook, Friends of Children serves the entire region. “We have children on our caseload from Elkford, Sparwood, Creston, the east side of Kootenay Lake, all the way to Golden,” said Chisholm. She deals one-onone with families, forwarding their needs to a dispersal committee that allots the funding. Before the trip, Chisholm will arrange accommodation for the family at their destination. “We book them our-

selves because then families don’t have to worry about that,” said Chisholm. “Not having to phone a motel, not having to figure out where the best rate is today... those are some tangible things that take the load off families.” Friends of Children will also reimburse for gas. For anything the organization can’t help with, Chisholm can refer the family to another organization. “Once people start knowing where to go and what to do, that starts to immediately decrease some of those anxieties,” she said. Friends of Children cannot help with ongoing therapies and intervention services, flights or dental appointments. They cover costs related to appointments anywhere outside the region, be it Calgary, Vancouver, Kelowna or elsewhere. “For the most part, anything that people ask for we do try to accommodate that or find alternate ways to fund that if we can’t,” said Chisholm. Most of Friends of Children’s expenses depend upon donations from the public. Costs for one family alone can get up to $10,000.

about BC Hydro rates... With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

Minister Bill Bennett announced a 10 year plan that will keep electricity rates as low as possible while BC Hydro makes investments in aging assets and new infrastructure to support B.C.’s growing population and economy.

Over the past several months, government and BC Hydro have worked together to reduce pressure on rates. This eﬀort builds on the 2011 review that identiﬁed over $391 million in savings.

New measures in the 10 Year Plan will reduce the amount of money that government takes from the utility, free up additional cash to support investments in old & new generation and infrastructure, lower BC Hydro’s operating costs and return Hydro rate setting to the BCUC.

How do I stay healthy during the holidays? The holiday season lends itself to overindulgence of delicious but not often nutritious foods. This month I have outlined a few tips to help you make better choices this holiday season to avoid any unwanted pounds. Choose foods that are high in fibre – instead of baking with white flour which has no nutritional value try using whole wheat, spelt or kamut flours (if you aren’t gluten sensitive) or gluten free flours like teff and brown rice. Stop eating when you feel 80% full. Adequate protein with meals will help you feel satiated. Step away from the table when you are done to avoid snacking. Prepare healthy sweets and baked goods without using refined sugars (white and brown sugars) or artificial sweeteners – raw honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar are great sweeteners that can effectively replace sugar in most recipes. Always include fresh fruits and veggies with meals and dessert. Offer healthy snacks – veggies and hummus, raw energy balls, air popped popcorn, nuts and seeds. Avoid late night snacking - do not eat 2-3 hours before bed time. Limit alcohol as it provides only empty calories and can lead to binge eating – if having choose red wine. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes daily even if it’s just a quick walk get outside in nature! Relax and enjoy the holidays as stress can disrupt hormones and assist in weight gain. Following these 10 simple steps will help to control any over-eating that may occur at the pot-lucks and feasts throughout the holidays. Eating healthy during the holidays does not have to mean suffering while others indulge as there are plenty of healthy, delicious alternatives to the processed or sugar filled treats and baked goods. Moderation is key, indulging a little bit during the holidays is fine, but listen to your body and don’t go overboard.

Students at Aspire Dance organized their own parade entry as a surprise for their teacher.

Dancers choreograph entry Continued from page A1 Last month, Aspire Dance owner Michelle Navratil told her students that she had another commitment on the night of the Christmas parade so she wouldn’t be able to put in a float for the dance school. That evening, on the way home from practice, two students came up with an idea. Grade 8 students Ashley Schram and Justine Gauthier decided they would surprise Miss Michelle by putting together an entry all on their own. “We thought, we had two weeks and we would have enough time so we asked my mom if it was still okay to register. She said it was,” said Ashley. “The next day we

talked to our other dance teacher Miss Melyssa (Hecher) and she said it would be okay if we did it. So we talked to all of the seniors and juniors and got it organized.” Ashley and Justine planned outfits, chose a song and came up with the choreography. Then, using a secret Facebook page, they arranged to meet the other dancers at Mount Baker Secondary to teach them the routine. “We took them into groups and taught it to them and they picked it up really fast,” said Ashley. One of the younger dancers at Aspire learned about the surprise for Miss Michelle and accidentally let the

secret slip, but it didn’t reduce the joy. “She asked if we were doing it and we had to confess to her. But she was really happy,” said Ashley. “I don’t think it mattered because she probably would have found out anyway.” The dancers pulled the routine off without a hitch during the parade, entertaining the hundreds of families gathered in downtown Cranbrook on Nov. 29. The dance was recorded, and Miss Michelle’s students plan to give her a private screening this week. “I am extremely proud of the girls for their hard work and dedication in putting together this entry in such a short time,” said Ashley’s mom Catherine Ernst.

Team Dixon takes fitness competition to the next level Continued from page A1 “A couple members of the team had competed before,” she said. But for the rest, the Calgary show was their inaugural competition. “They were very dedicated and wonderful to coach. “This is a challenging sport in the sense that it is generally four to six months, sometimes longer in preparation,” Dickson said. “Each competitor has various obstacles and everyday hurdles to overcome and face, and as a competitor I appreciate how sometimes these can be challenging. To remain focused on workouts, diet, and the outcome takes a lot of inner strength.” The Canada Championships and Pro Show was divided into three categories, Dickson said. Bikini Model,

Fitness Model and Figure Model. The criteria of each category is different from the others. Bikini Model is judged on stage presentation, defined ab wall (but not the “six pack”), marketability, femininity, poise and conditioning. Fitness Model is judged on more muscularity, definition in the abs, symmetry, stage presentation and marketability. Figure Model is judged according to muscle mass, “six- to eight-packs” in the abs, symmetry, definition, muscle striations and conditioning. Team Dickson’s individual results are as follows: • Erin MacFarlane-Jepson, in her first show, took first in Novice Tall Bikini, first in Open Bikini and third in

Pro Bikini Model. She also won her Pro Card status; • Erika Rieve-Palmer, in her first show, took first in Novice Figure, first in Open Figure and second in Pro Figure Model. Erika also won her Pro Card Status; • Rachel Cohen took third in Tall Bikini Open, fourth in Pro Bikini Model and won her Pro Card Status; • Heidi Harris, in her first show, took second in 2nd Masters Fitness Model; • Cassaundra Dimarzio, in her first show, took fifth in Short Bikini Model; • Trinia Deren took 11th in Masters Figure; • Alina Biehn, in her first show, took third in Tall Bikini Model; • Lorene McGregor took third in Masters Fitness Model.

Lakit Ridge restoration a boon for wildlife Why machines are munching trees near Fort Steele

Trish Barnes

Another step in the restoration of Lakit Ridge is underway, as mastication machines chew up small, ingrown trees to open up traditional wildlife habitat. The machines are re-creating the conditions of the area as it once was, before fire suppression allowed grasslands to change into stagnant, fuel-loaded forests. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep still graze the ridges and foothills under Fisher Peak (east of Cranbrook), but, compared to historical numbers, populations have decreased. Prior to fire suppression, Lakit Ridge, Brewery Ridge, Premier Ridge: All were filled with tasty bunchgrasses and snowbrush and nearly empty of trees, making them perfect winter range. In the 1960s and

1980s, the bighorn sheep experienced large-scale, disease-related die-offs. Scientists have studied the problem for years and have found that contact with domestic sheep and the resulting transmission of disease to be the underlying cause for these population crashes. Recovering these populations has proved to be challenging. Forest ingrowth and tree encroachment into previously open habitat is a major contributing cause to the slow population recovery. The most recent efforts have culminated in an ecosystem restoration plan, written in 2006. (The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Habitat Enhancement Plan.) The Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program (Trench ER) has been carrying out segments of the plan in different treatment units since 2008. This month marks

the start of mastication work on Lakit Ridge. Using an excavator with a special head, operators Don Cook and Chance Paradis shred trees from the top down, leaving smallsized debris that will carry a prescribed burn—the next step in restoration—in 2015. Money for this portion of the project ($60,000) was provided by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP), which is a partnership between BC Hydro and the Provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Larry Ingham of FWCP said these enhancements will restore the benefits of traditional spring and winter range. “Sheep are slowly coming back again,” Ingham said. “But they need open areas for better forage, for better sight-lines to escape from predators, and for

better movement corridors. “These treatments restore the habitat to closer to its natural condition—how it would be if fires had not been suppressed since the 1920s.” Dan Murphy (with the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society, who helped secure the funding) said the treatments are going well. “We’re glad to have found such good operators who are paying attention to their footprint,” Murphy said, “and we’re grateful to the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program for working with us and with Trench ER to move forward with sheep habitat enhancement. “The area will be burnt in 2015 to help rejuvenate the forage species.” Visit www.trench-er. com to learn more about this project.

repair happened at the site in two spots. “The first repair consisted in the relining of about 1,600 feet of 30 inch diameter steel header pipe at a location about two kilometres from the location of the irrigation pump station,” Zettel said. “This was relined. It inserted a continuous fused pipe of a slightly smaller diameter.” That repair cost $350,000. The second leak in the suction piping happened underneath the irrigation pump station. “It was very challenging,” he said. “They needed to do open cut excavation, directional drilling, some mining techniques to essentially bypass the section of the pipe.” The $650,000 repair will last in excess of 100 years, Zettel said. Public works staff designed and completed the fountain in front of Cranbrook fire hall. It is designed to look like

they used a high pressure hose that has a nozzle that propels it forward through the sediment as it blasts out debris. There was also a $60,000 repaving of the medivac and charter aircraft loading area at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. The project was done in June. Another project was the reconstruction of the Mount Baker tennis courts. It was initiated by School District 5 and also was financially supported by Columbia Basin Trust. Mayor Wayne Stetski said it was great to see all the work that the city’s staff has accomplished over the year. Coun. Diana J. Scott said it was a great synopsis of where the taxpayer’s money goes. “It takes a lot of time and creativity,” she said. “There’s a lot of creativity there to solve those types of problems.”

the Maltese cross firefighters wear on their shirts. In September, public works utility crews worked to remove substantial amounts of gravel from a large diameter trunk sanitary sewer main that brings sewage to the north end of the city. A bridge across Joseph’s Creek had to be installed to allow machines to get across to the problem. “Obstructions to the pipe weren’t allowing it to flow freely,” he said. Once inside, he said crews found that between half and three-quarters of the pipe was full of soils which was limiting the flow into the lagoons. Crews also had to lower wastewater levels in the first of the three ponds. Zettel said the crews had to modify a large concrete vault and install three new large diameter manholes in an area with high ground water. To clear the pipes

Greenhouse gas trial balloon leaks

ast week I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value. It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made redundant by new vehicle technology and the financial need to save fuel. Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines. All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas reduction program, another environmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020. New liquefied natural gas export proposals continue to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near Squamish and Campbell River. And with the surge of LNG activity around Kitimat and Prince Rupert already changing the landscape, questions linger about the pollution and

greenhouse gas impacts. As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact of three LNG plants. That study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “direct drive” technology to chill and compress gas for export. It concluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver. Clark and Environment BC VIEWS Minister Mary Polak relied Tom on the same talking point to Fletcher reject the study. The technology of powering LNG is still being negotiated, as producers work towards environmental permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet. BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG until after 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive, the industry standard and simplest method, or building one or more gas-fired power plants in northwest B.C. Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are going up. Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere. I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s assertion that

emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count. “We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied. “What the premier’s talked about and I’ve talked about is that this whole issue of how one accounts for greenhouse gases in a particular region is one that is constantly evolving. There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these things and reporting them. And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another, we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.” Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination. Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe covered the premier’s visit. He reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal. It’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods. Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. The whole world knows why Japan needs new energy sources. It needs to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities. Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to human-induced climate change? On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

Opinion/features It happened this week in Cranbrook

This is the inaugural issue of a feature detailing headlines from Cranbrook’s early days. David Humphrey

Week of December 1 – 7 Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 A CREDIT TO CRANBROOK … Cranbrook is to have its very first dance. It is to be held in the Purdue Block on December 16th. The Committee promises that every effort will be made to ensure success in every respect. Tickets are $1 each and spectators will be charged 50 cents. The Cranbrook Orchestra will be furnishing the music for the evening, HOTEL IS NOW ONE OF THE BEST IN THE KOOTENAYS … The Cranbrook Hotel, owned by Ryan and Morrison is now considered one of the best houses in the Kootenays. It has been enlarged to twice its original size and is newly furnished throughout. Rooms are advertised as large, airy, and well lit. The new barroom is now one of the largest in the East Kootenay and is supplied with the best of liquors and cigars. COLONEL BAKER COMING HOME … V. Hyde Baker has just received a cablegram from his father, Colonel Baker, that he is leaving England on the 14th and is expected to be in Cranbrook by the 28th. From here he will go directly to Victoria to be present at the opening of parliament as the member from South East Kootenay. CYCLISTS AND COLD BATHS … A physician, himself a cyclist, lays down this

general proposition. “Never take a cold bath when you are tired.” He goes on to add that the greater the exercise the more poisonous waste material is created. Taking a cold bath means that if a cyclist’s heart is already tired then it may not be strong enough to bring about a reaction. The waste material might not be brought to the surface, internal congestions may follow, and death has been known to occur. A simple rule for the cyclist is to wait until the heart rate has returned to normal before plunging into cold water. KEEP YOUR EYE ON ELKO … The new townsite of Elko is being touted as being in the centre of one of the richest mining districts in British Columbia. Great prosperity and growth must eventually come to this place. Elko is “sightly and beautiful.” “Elko is one of the spots in the world where the eyes of a stranger meet surprise and revel in beauty. The soul is charmed and the impressions received long recur to the memory with delight.” Choice lots, 30 X 100 feet, are available for $50 to $200 each. MOYELLE! … This is the name of the new town at the foot of Moyie Lake. Lots are being sold rapidly, and arrangements have been completed on a number of new buildings that will be erected without delay. Lumber is on the ground for depot buildings. For prices and terms see W. N. BRAYTON, Townsite Agent. 1899 COSMOPOLITAN HOTEL … Everything first class. Rooms newly furnished, well lighted, well ventilated, and heated by furnace. Conveniently located, and ranks with the best. First class dining room and best of cigars and liquors. Rates, $2.00 per day

1900 MARRIAGES … The Fort Steele Prospector reports that several more marriages will take place in the next few weeks. This is due to the glorious climate of the Fort Steele district. 1901 WHAT MAKES CRANBROOK GROW? … Not many weeks ago there were some people in Cranbrook so short sighted as to say that Marysville would be an injury to this town. What has been the result to date? Not less than $10,000 worth of supplies has been bought off Cranbrook merchants for Marysville during the past month, and the trade is increasing. Marysville looks good to Cranbrook merchants. Cranbrook is a center and its trade with outside towns is increasing each month. That is what is making Cranbrook a great commercial point. With the growth of the district comes a growth in Cranbrook, a growth in Cranbrook stocks, a growth in Cranbrook business, a growth in population. Let the good work go on. NEW TELEPHONE LINE … Work was inaugurated last Monday on the new telephone line between Cranbrook, Marysville and Kimberley, and already several miles of wire has been stretched. It will only be a few days before there will be telephone communication to Marysville, and the line will reach Kimberley soon afterward. The Cranbrook Electric Light Company is to be congratulated upon its enterprise in this matter, as this line will prove a great benefit to this part of the district. The company has also purchased the Cranbrook Fort Steele line, thus connecting the towns of Fort Steele, Cranbrook, Marysville and Kimberley.

Fluoridation a boon for disenfranchised

Roger Mitchell MD CCFP

am writing as a concerned citizen of Area C as I witness the pressure on city council to remove fluoride from the Cranbrook city water supply. This internet campaign has been ongoing for many years and, sadly, individuals are led astray by so called “reputable internet articles,” as many believe all internet sources to be valid. This issue arose in Whitehorse, Yukon, in the early 1990s and due to population and dental apathy, was allowed to pass. The subsequent tooth decay witnessed in the pediatric population has been a tragedy. Submitted by Roger Mitchell I have spent much of my later anesthe- A photo of a child undergoing dental sia career involved with dental anesthesia surgery. and my most recent eight years in the subarctic NWT.

It is often expensive and 1960s, it was not uncommon for the teen-

age daughter in the family to receive a full set of dentures prior to marriage as a dowry of sorts, due to unmanageable tooth decay. Today’s society forgets how “bad” the “good old days” actually were when it comes to health issues. The fluoride issue is promoted by many of the same people who want to see chlorination of drinking water and vaccination removed from daily life. I just wish many of these overzealous individuals would travel to the third world to witness the carnage created by lack of access to clean, chlorinated drinking water, vaccination, and fluoride. Will most of Cranbrook notice the removal of fluoride? Probably not! Will the marginalized families of Cranbrook notice? Yes! Is fluorosis of the teeth — white staining of the teeth due to excess fluoride — a common problem? Your dentists can answer that better than I can, but after 35 years of family practice and anesthesia, I can’t remember ever seeing a case. If parents are concerned, they can take advantage of the fluoride in the water, and avoid fluoride containing toothpastes. So citizens of Cranbrook, please take your time in this decision. The anti-fluoride campaigners in Yukon saw themselves in a messianic light; saving the population from the so called “evils” of fluoride. Their arguments were based on the unsubstantiated and endless internet chat room drivel. They never had the chance to witness a general anesthetic administered to a threeyear-old whose mouth consisted of 20 small rotten nubbins of teeth which were imbedded in pockets of pus.

GAME TIMES 7 PM EXCEPT SUNDAYS 6 PM

Jared Rathjen was the one Giant the Ice couldn’t slay during a 3-2 loss in Vancouver on Tuesday night. Though Vancouver only put 19 shots on the Kootenay net, Rathjen’s performance in the crease with 33 saves was enough to lift the Giants to the win. Cain Franson, Travis McEvoy and Jackson Houck provided offence for Vancouver, while Jon Martin and Austin Vetterl, himself an ex-Giant, replied for the Ice. Mackenzie Skapski took the loss in goal with 16 saves. Rathjen was the sole reason the Giants were able to stay in the game, as he made some key stops on a few dangerous Ice chances that included robbing Sam Reinhart on a shorthanded breakaway, and stoning Jaedon Descheneau on a

two-on-none. “We definitely outchanced them, but we seemed to hit him [Rathjen] in the chest more often than not,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. “We got to bear down, those were good opportunities. We capitalize on a couple and it’s a different outcome, for sure.”

Right from the start, Kootenay seemed to get off on the right foot, with more puck possession and generating more offensive chances against their opponents. Levi Cable had the best chance in the score-

less first period, taking a pass that put him all alone in front of Rathjen, who made a sharp save to keep it even. Despite Kootenay carrying the play, Vancouver struck first as Cain Franson dragged the puck out from behind the net and roofed a backhander past Skapski to pen the scoring in the second period. Jon Martin knotted thing back up five minutes later, beating Rathjen upstairs from the slot off a feed from Vetterl in the corner. As the seconds ticked down to close the period, Vancouver put a rare shift of pressure in the Kootenay zone and ended up scoring a buzzer-beater. McEvoy was on the receiving end of a loose puck during a scramble in front of Skapski, and managed to find the back of the net at 19:59.

Jones clinches berth in final at Canadian Olympic curling trials C anadian Press

WINNIPEG - Jennifer Jones was surprised twice at Wednesday’s Canadian Olympic curling trials. First, the veteran Winnipeg skip watched as defending Canadian champion Rachel Homan’s last rock draw attempt was heavy, giving Jones a steal in the 10th end and 7-6 victory. The win put the fourtime Canadian champion in sole possession of first place with a 5-1 record. What Jones didn’t know was the win also gave her a bye into Saturday night’s final, where the winner will represent Canada at next year’s Olympics in Sochi, Russia. “Are we? Are we in the final?” Jones asked after a reporter told her she was a game away from the Olympics. When the answer was yes, the usually cool skip was thrilled. “Oh, I had no idea. Yah. That’s awesome,” Jones said, clapping her

hands. Jones, who’s making her third attempt at playing in an Olympics, is supported by third Kaitlyn Lawes, second Jill Officer, lead Dawn McEwen and alternate Kirsten Wall. Fellow Winnipegger Chelsea Carey also had the 7,343 fans at MTS Centre cheering as she grabbed second place (4-2) after defeating Val Sweeting of Edmonton 6-4. Ottawa’s Homan, Sweeting, Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh and Heather Nodohin from Edmonton share third with 3-3 records. Middaugh beat Renee Sonneberg 7-6, dropping the Grande Prairie, Alta., skip to 1-5. The second- and third-place finishers will play the semifinal Friday night for the chance to face Jones. Homan and Jones met in this year’s Scotties Tournament of Hearts final and it looked like Homan was

going to take the Trials re-match. Jones was leading 3-1 after the fourth end, but Homan scored three to go ahead 4-3 at the break and then stole a point in the sixth after Jones missed a double takeout. But Jones, the 2008 world champion, bounced back in the seventh end, drawing right onto the button for two and a 5-5 tie. With Homan leading 6-5 in the ninth and Jones with the hammer, the veteran was forced to draw for one and give Homan the hammer. However, Homan was heavy with her shot and Jones counted the one for the victory. “We did everything we could. We anticipated the fudge (slow ice) and it just wasn’t there,” Homan said. “I’m really proud of my team. We had a heck of a game and we deserved that win, but that’s all right, they got away with one and we’ll get them back.”

After men’s action Wednesday, Kevin Martin needs one more win to move closer to his dream of curling in another Olympics. The veteran Edmonton skip has been to three, winning silver in 2002 and gold in 2010. Martin and co-leader Brad Jacobs (5-0) will face off Thursday and one of them will take sole possession of first place, with the bonus of a free ride into the men’s final Sunday. “I really would love

to get to one more Olympics and you know we have a shot at it,” Martin said after disposing of John Epping 9-5 in nine ends Wednesday. “But we have to play really well and we have to somehow get to that final game Sunday and we’ve got a long way to go to get there.” John Morris suffered just his second loss, dropping 8-6 to Jacobs after running out of rocks in 10. Morris made a game of it, scor-

ing two and stealing two to tie it up going into nine. Despite a couple of mistakes, Jacob’s foursome out of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., shook it off, scored two in the ninth and showed why they’ve won five straight. And winning Thursday is just as much in their sights for the straight path to the final it offers. “You’re already in the final,” said Jacobs. “You’ve got one more game to go and you’re

in the Olympics. We know what’s on the line tomorrow and we’re up to the challenge.” Three losses was considered a tough sell to make the playoffs but it’s becoming a big club at the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings. Jeff Stoughton already has three, but he didn’t add to the number with a 10-6 win over winless Kevin Koe in eight ends. Then Glenn Howard drew to the button to beat Mike McEwen 6-5.

Ice have trouble burying chances against Giants Continued from page 8 Kootenay had four power plays alone in the middle frame, and were unable to convert on any of them. However, the drought wouldn’t last, as the equalizer came in the final period with the man-advantage, on a tic-tac-toe play between Reinhart and Philp, with Vetterl tucking in the puck at the side of the net. Kootenay took a late penalty and Houck notched the

game-winner, tipping a point shot from Brett Kulak with less than five minutes remaining in the contest. It was the only goal with the man-advantage in two opportunities for the Giants, while Vetterl’s goal was the only marker in five powerplay opportunities for Kootenay. “Special teams can win or lose you games, and tonight it could’ve gone either way that

way, but we had some good looks and just couldn’t capitalize again,” said Henderson. The game was a homecoming for Reinhart, who got to play in front of his parents and friends at the Pacific Coliseum, close to where he grew up in West Vancouver. Kootenay will face the Kamloops Blazers on Friday and the Kelowna Rockets on Saturday. They close out the road trip in Prince George on Tuesday.

CAUTION: THIN ICE @ IDLEWILD & ELIZABETH LAKES 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.

ZONING BYLAW The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document that contains specific regulations for the use, development and subdivision of land. Any use of or development on a parcel must be in compliance with the regulations contained in the Zoning Bylaw. Visit our website and click on ‘Bylaws’ for more on all of our City bylaws.

CITY OF CRANBROOK SNOW REMOVAL POLICY 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. Classification “C” – THIRD PRIORITY This includes other residential streets within the City whose immediate need for snow and ice control is not as important. Vehicles can move around with limited congestion at suitable speeds. Classification “D” – FOURTH PRIORITY The remaining streets, drives, crescents, lanes and alleys where traffic volume is relatively low. Traffic is able to proceed at lower speeds in these residential areas. For a complete look at the Snow Removal Policy, please visit our website.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have been thinking about a plan and finally have come to a conclusion. Once more, you become Mr. or Ms. Friendly. Others will rejoice at seeing the happier you return. Still, someone could become somewhat difficult. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of taking a trip. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be distancing yourself until it becomes obvious that you need to deal with a situation that could implode. Expressing your caring is important, especially when dealing with an older relative. A call to someone at a distance will mean a lot. Tonight: Till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A partner seems to have assumed control of a key matter. This change of responsibilities could be all right with you; however, you might want to discuss the long-term implications of the situation. A conversation like this is important. Tonight: Choose to

do something new. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll be taken aback by a personal matter. The other party could be overassertive, which might cause you to feel cornered. Initiate an important one-onone discussion; in fact, insist on it. The balance of power will level off as a result. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your mood quickly changes midday. You are best when networking and socializing. Now is the time to kick back and be spontaneous. You might hear someone express his or her frustration; behind those feelings is an important message. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be quite creative in the morning when faced with a difficult situation. Lighten up and have an important discussion once others seem more relaxed. The tone of those around you will be more significant than you might realize. Tonight: Make it early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You have been tenacious and diligent about getting a project done. You also feel empowered by its completion and by the comments you get. Later today, brainstorm with others to create and firm up a fun idea. Not everything has to be business. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You won’t hesitate to express your opinions, but you could come off a lot sterner than you realize. The key to success will be following through on a particular situation and maintaining a lighter attitude. Others will open up more easily as a result. Tonight: Get a lot done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Check out the cost of proceeding as you have been. Someone might be more than ready to chip in and help. Know that all the responsibility does not have to land on your shoulders. Make a point to accept someone’s gesture as it was meant. Tonight: Make weekend plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what you want. You’ll have many supporters at the

present moment, which increases your chances of achieving what you desire. You come off far more sensitively than you think. You can’t always hide your feelings. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be slow to start, but once you get going, you are a formidable force to stop. You know what you want and have no intention of settling. Someone at a distance could play a significant role. Tonight: If you can dream it, you are likely to be able to conjure it up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a matter you would prefer to keep under wraps. Someone might try to coax it out of you, but you will resist. Be careful if you don’t want to spill the beans. A partner or associate will make an effort to discuss an issue that you both are well aware of. Tonight: Do for you. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Little Richard (1932), animator Walt Disney (1901), former U.S. President Martin Van Buren (1782)

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 58-year-old mother has a best friend whom she has known since they were both 5 years old. We call her “Aunt Marsha.” She’s been at all of our weddings and holidays. She is still friendly with her exdaughter-in-law, who happens to be a good friend of mine. In years past, when Aunt Marsha has a male companion in her life, she typically falls off the face of the Earth. Recently, she found a new guy who happens to be married, so her communication with us is limited. Right now, Aunt Marsha is upset with both my mother and me because her ex-daughter-in-law was in town with her new husband and daughter, and they stayed with me. Aunt Marsha knew about the visit, and I told her if we planned any family events, I would let her know. However, when my friend arrived with her family, she said that having her ex-mother-in-law in attendance at dinner would be awkward. So I did not invite Aunt Marsha. When my mother next saw Marsha, she mentioned how nice it was to see my friend, and of course, Aunt Marsha was miffed that she wasn’t included. After several attempts to contact my aunt, I received an email that she was upset and hurt, and that she had waited around for a phone call to be invited over and it never came. She said, “I know it is your house and your company, but my feelings are hurt.” Annie, I never intended to hurt her. It’s just how things worked out. But she still hasn’t spoken to either my mother or me in six months. She ignores my mother’s calls, cards and attempts to reach out. It’s possible that when her current male companion is out of the picture, she will come running to us for support, as usual. But in the meantime, what can I do to help my mother? She misses her best friend. -- Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: You actually owe Marsha an apology. You promised to include her, and then you didn’t, nor did you let her know. We realize it was your friend who changed the plans, but you still should have informed Marsha. Instead, she felt excluded from your family. That said, she is being rather unforgiving and pigheaded about it. If you haven’t apologized, please do so. The rest will simply have to run its course. Dear Annie: My husband and I agree that it is bad behavior to use one’s cellphone while in the company of others, unless it’s an emergency. However, he even thinks someone looking up information or showing pictures is rude. I disagree. He also feels justified in saying something to the offending party. I think it’s best to say nothing and simply not go out with them again. It’s too embarrassing to everyone. What is your take on this? -- Tired of Arguing Dear Tired: Showing pictures on your phone to people at the table is not rude unless it turns into a slide show. Looking up information is fine as long as it is pertinent, such as checking the time of the movie you are planning to see. It is also OK to speak up when someone talks or texts incessantly. Say politely, “Could we make this a cell-free zone for the duration?” If they refuse, then you can stop going out with them. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Waiting,” who doesn’t like it when the bank tellers chitchat with the customers. I enjoy the personal touch and suggest that those who don’t use the ATM instead. -- Louisville, Ky.

STEVEN BAHREY January 26, 1922 – November 28, 2013 Just 2 months shy of his 92nd birthday, Steve passed peacefully at East Kootenay Regional Hospital of heart failure. Born on the farm in Wroxton, Saskatchewan to Emily and Alex Bahrey, he was the 9th of 10 children. A spiritual man with a generous soul, he leaves behind a legacy of learning and knowledge through the many students and co-workers he mentored as a teacher and principal. His career took him to schools in Manitoba, Northern B.C. and several institutions in Cranbrook including Cranbrook Central, Mount Baker Secondary, Tenth Avenue Elementary and Amy Woodland Elementary. Retiring in 1983, he chuckled at the fact he collected a teacher’s pension for as many years as he worked! Steve’s healthy and vigorous lifestyle kept him busy in retirement starting with his duties as a marriage commissioner. He loved to travel, garden, ski and golf with his beloved wife Alice, whom he met at the Cranbrook Central School in 1949. Their marriage followed in 1950 at the Cranbrook United Church where they remained active members to this day. Steve enjoyed many roles at the church including the choir. Alice and Steve had two sons, Douglas and Christopher. Sadly, Doug passed away only 7 months ago. Doug’s children, Kirsten and Michael, have grown into fine young adults and will carry on the Bahrey tradition of living a life filled with love and optimism. It is possible Steve was the oldest 2013 student at College of the Rockies, as he had recently embraced the computer era. His latest dilemma was whether to skip the last class in order to throw the “first rocks” to commence the 2014 curling season. He was a member of the elite “Eight Ender” club and skipped many winning rinks. His son Chris will cherish the memories of skiing with his dad on his 89th birthday and playing a final round of golf with him just 4 months ago. Many thanks to the family, friends and community who contributed to his rich and fulfilled life. We will welcome you to a celebration of Steve’s life which will take place in the New Year.

KEELER, Dawn In the early hours of Nov.29, our beloved Dawn was gathered to her heavenly Father’s arms. She is pre-deceased by her grand-parents, her aunt Sheila Dermody, and her mother-in-law Patricia Keeler. She is survived by her loving husband Scott Keeler, daughters Catie and Jessica, sister-friend Korri Maloney, sister Kelly (Tim) Bartlett, brother Noel (Korrina) Jervis, mother Sharon (Gordon) Hand, father Hans (Margaret) Sanou, father-in-law Garth Keeler, sister-in-law Alison(Corey) Daly and various aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. Dawn has always loved caring for people as evidenced by her choice of profession, nursing. Even after her illness prevented her from working, she continued to find new ways to care for and bring joy to other people’s lives. This included even using her illness to intentionally bring people together. Part of Dawn’s legacy will be the relationships that were forged because of her willingness to share her journey with others. Although cancer took her from us, she didn’t lose the battle. With every new diagnosis she found something to celebrate and taught many of us to do the same. The celebration of her life and the life she brought to others will be held at the Key City Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 7 @ 6:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be contributed to a trust fund for Dawn’s daughters. The trust fund has been set up at the Credit Union. Donations can also be dropped off at Connect Church and Bridge Interiors.

Snow boarder Randy Smith rips it up in the powder on Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run at Panorama Mountain Village.

Panorama opens Friday for 2013-2014

Experience fresh powder, 4,000 feet of vertical terrain open, and a one-of-a-kind â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ski with the Prosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opportunity SUBMIT TED

With 27 centimeters of fresh powder on the summit in the past 48 hours, and only three sleeps counting down until the mountain at Panorama Mountain Village officially opens to the public, excitement and energy in the resort village is 1000 Peaks high. The mountain resort will welcome winter enthusiasts of all kinds to enjoy the slopes beginning December 6, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opening day on the mountain is always a blast. We love to see the first groups of skiers and snowboarders head out early for their first run of the season,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Jamie Hurschler, Marketing Communications, Panorama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to open the mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full 4000 vertical feet of terrain and about 75 of the 120 trails. Â We expect to have open portions of Taynton Bowl, Extreme Dream Zone, Schoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, Sun Bowl, Founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ridge and the Beginner Area.â&#x20AC;? Panorama continues to introduce upgrades to the mountain, particularly in the Taynton Bowl, where even the most experienced Panorama veteran is sure to discover a new experience on the slopes this winter. Savvy skiers will take advantage of Panoramaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mountain Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service this weekend and learn

whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new on the slopes with a free, guided tour of the mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best terrain and powder. Guests looking to connect with a guide should gather at the ski racks at the base of the Mile 1 Quad. The free service runs twice daily at 10:00 am and 1:30 pm. For individuals looking to improve their ski skills and challenge themselves on the slopes right off the bat, Panorama is also offering their annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ski with the Prosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, a 3 day course pairing intermediate to advanced skiers with the top professional CSIA Level 4 ski instructors from across Western Canada. The series kicks off with a wine and cheese â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet and greetâ&#x20AC;? on Friday evening and over the duration of the weekend, participants will move through six on mountain sessions designed to improve their confidence and technical skills on the slopes.Â Jason Simpson, Director of the Panorama Snow School notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to opening day on the mountain. With our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ski with the Prosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program we can challenge your skills and help push your comfort zone to the next level. The program will introduce you to the best slopes at Panorama and give you the best skill foundation for immediate results.â&#x20AC;?

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays and New Year’s with their friends and families. But before that happens I do need to give one final chamber update for the year. Wayyyyyy back in February I gave a report regarding the Chamber’s annual strategy session and the fact we came out of it with six priorities. I wanted to take a few minutes to summarize the year we have had at the Chamber. Advocate strategically for our membership – this was noted at the beginning of the year as our number one priority as a chamber. It encompassed the majority of our time this year and I hope that our membership was happy with the results. Chamber members and volunteers from the community spent literally hundreds of hours working with the city to advocate on behalf of businesses to get a sign bylaw that can work for the business community.

in reviewing the draft RDEK major and minor home based business bylaw and prepared a report to the RDEK highlighted our position and concerns with their draft bylaws. We were also involved with ensuring the City of Cranbrook met with concerned businesses in the construction industry regarding the updated building bylaw and associated fees that go with it. Several Directors are working on the Barriers to Business Survey (Phase 11). The purpose of this survey is to get a sense, from businesses that have actually dealt with the City of Cranbrook in the last 11 months, their feeling about the degree to which the City has created a climate that is “friendly to business.” This is a confidential interview and the results will be tied into themes and will be used only by the Chamber Board to develop and present a report card to the City. This is a follow-up to our presentation to City Council in December of 2012 (Phase1) Finally; I encourage all chamber members to review the city’s proposed changes to 2nd Street South and to the proposed Moir Gravel Pit reclamation project. Both of these are significant projects in the years to come. The city has asked for public input and consultation in this process and it’s important for the business community to voice their support or concerns for the projects. Both projects will have an impact on you, in both your personal and business roles in the community. These are just a few of the ways the chamber has been advocating for business during the year, we hope you feel the results were as posit iv e f o r business as we do. Foster sector development – the Chamber recently held its third annual Black Friday event, and this year’s event had more participation than ever from local businesses. We are very proud of this initiative, and also happy to hear the success stories from businesses related to the traffic it brings to them during the event. Many in Cranbrook know the value of shopping locally and the impact it has on our local economy and the promotion of Black

Friday is one way the Chamber is trying to reinforce that in peoples’ minds and get them to remember they “Live here….spend here.” This year the chamber created a web page to promote the event and even a mobile app for shoppers to download and receive updates about sales happening during the day. The Chamber’s tourism committee has continued working behind the scenes to obtain funding necessary to hire a tourism coordinator and building a tourism brand for Cranbrook, initiating the packaging of tourism experiences, and ensuring the brand promises are achieved. The volunteer committee has started a website for potential tourists to the city to go to at www.cranbrooktourism. ca. The committee uses this site and it’s Cranbrook Tourism Facebook page to help promote the City and it’s opportunities to visitors.

Finally, I want to thank the other members of the chamber board and the staff at the chamber for all they have done this year to help me in my year as president. The board members put in countless volunteer hours away from their businesses and their families to help the chamber and the business community. A very sincere thank you is owed to them for their time and commitment. The same thank you is owed to the staff at the chamber. They are a group of caring, thoughtful, dedicated individuals that have served the business community for years. They are a wealth of experience and knowledge and they truly do it because they love the city of Cranbrook, the businesses in it, and the residents here….believe me, they DON’T do it for the money!! On behalf of myself and our members, thank you ladies for all you do.

Thank you for the opportunity to represent you, the chamber members, in 2013. It has been a fun, challenging and always interesting learning experience and one I will always remember. I am proud to have done it.

Make sure you don’t organize the party in the same location as you work in. It would be a great idea to party in an off-site location.

Make everyone feel comfortable. Just don’t force them to wear Santa hats just because you are wearing it. Do not force them to take part in the office Christmas party games. Remember, the party is for everyone to enjoy, not just yourself. I would suggest that you avoid office talks completely during the party. During the party, please forgo all office politics. It doesn’t matter whether the person is from the same or other department, make him/her feel a part of the party. The usual sit-and-eat parties are boring! People generally tend to avoid such parties. It is advisable that you let someone else the strain of organizing your Christmas party. Find a good catering service to do the job.

Office Christmas Party Games

A very important part of any party, games add to the fun and liveliness of a party. Here are some excellent office Christmas party games Musical Chairs :An absolute favourite among many people. It is a common one among the office Christmas party games. Do I really have to explain the game to you? Pass The Parcel :A gift is wrapped in multiple layers of paper. Each layer has a small prize beneath it. The centre layer has the grand prize. Another one of the classics. Music is played during the game, and the parcel is passed around. The person who gets the parcel when the music is stopped gets to unwrap the topmost layer and take the gift beneath. The process is continued until the last wrapper is reached and the grand prize awarded.

The more is NOT always merrier! The larger the group, the larger will be the expenses.

Who Am I :One of the employees is blindfolded. Have that employee identify their colleagues by touching their palms (rather than faces).

Food and alcohol are important components of a party. If you plan on having alcoholic beverages in your office Christmas party, use an outside service. Never ever allow employees to bring their own beer or any alcoholic beverages.

Employee Awards :Why not award certificates for specific “achievements” ? Like a Heinz Ketchup Award for always running late to meetings! Make sure you don’t hurt the feelings of anyone though!

An office Christmas party is an excellent way to meet new people with whom you won’t normally talk at work, so don’t be cliquey.

There are many more office Christmas party games like Christmas

Choose a Party Theme

Throughout the year, more than 8 hours a day, your co-workers have worked really hard with you, so you all deserve cool office Christmas party ideas. Why not centre the office Christmas party ideas around an activity? Going to a comedy club : This certainly is a no-brainer. Go and have a good time seeing a great comic. Bowling: Who doesn’t like games, especially bowling? It will be real fun to go bowling with your co-workers. Throw the bowling ball down the lane! Movie Marathon: Why not go for a movies? Better still, a Christmas Movie Marathon? It is certainly not necessary that the movies be Christmas themed. Sports Event: Take your team to enjoy a sports-themed event while networking over lunch or dinner.

Choosing The Venue Party In A Restaurant :

If you plan to organize a traditional office Christmas party, why not take your team-mates to a lovely restaurant. You may also invite a local church group to perform or sing. Even though many office parties exclude children, I think it is a good ideas to invite the families of your team-mates as well. One of the best among Christmas office party ideas, don’t you think?

Party On A Boat : Now this a new and fun office Christmas party idea, don’t you think? If you do so, you might first choose the theme of the party, as it affects the expense of the party to a great extent. How about a Karaoke Night or a Texas Hold’em Party?! Also, it is very much recommended that you create a “guest-list”. The more is not always merrier! The larger the group, the larger will be the expenses.

Party At A Pub : Need some more office Christmas party ideas? How about a party at the pub? A Christmas party in a pub can be much more relaxing than a party in a restaurant. Also, many pubs will have special festive menus too, which will get your guests excited. Additional events too can be organized, such as wine tasting or quiz.

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter at Bay Life in winter can be daunting for seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry. Fortunately retirement housing at Garden View Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and airconditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind. Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which

are certain to be filled with friendly faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the onsite chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join. Garden View Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building. With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at Garden View Village. “I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for. But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.” No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life. Garden View Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Garden View Village at (250) 427-4014 for more information or to book a tour.

Santa’s Best Picks

A look back at popular toys from years past Many parents have spent time during the holiday season on endless quests for the perfect gift for their children. Many gifts have earned “musthave” status over the years, and although many of these gifts are forgotten by the time the next holiday season comes around, certain products have remained timeless. Some of these more memorable products have even been resurrected into newer, modern-day versions of their previous selves. Here’s a look at some of the toys that have made their mark over the last several decades. * Rubik’s Cube: The Rubik’s Cube reached the height of its popularity during the 1980s, when the colorful game puzzle was mass-marketed to the public. Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik actually invented what he dubbed the “Magic Cube” a decade prior. Since the product’s

inception, millions of Rubik’s Cubes have been sold across the globe, making it one of the top-selling puzzles and toys. * Cabbage Patch Kids: Adults stormed stores in the mid 1980s for Cabbage Patch Kids, which became one of the most popular toys of the decade. Designed by art student Xavier Roberts, Cabbage Patch Kids began as dolls called “Little People.” The dolls were marketed with a fantastical story about a cabbage patch in a magical valley, where dolls were born and awaited their adoption into loving homes. Cabbage Patch Kids have been produced by a number of different toy manufacturers through the years, and shoppers can still find new incarnations at stores today. * Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started as a comic designed to parody established popular comics of

the early 1980s. The concept of genetically mutated turtles who possessed ninja skills quickly caught on and the TMNT franchise expanded to television shows and scores of complementary merchandise. * Beanie Babies: Ty Inc. introduced a series of plush toys filled with tiny plastic pellets instead of traditional polyester stuffing in 1993. These pellets made the dolls flexible and cuddly, which played a role in their popularity. Throughout the 1990s, children collected as many of the Beanie Babies as they could, though some of the dolls were more coveted than others. Ty ceased production of Beanie Babies in 1999 with a bear called “The End,” but it wasn’t long before new Beanie Babies were manufactured for a new generation of children to collect.

Their name was derived from Mandarin Chinese and translates to “little pig.” These small toys could be set to explore their environment or simply emit cooing sounds in the “nurturing mode.” * Nintendo Wii: In addition to the Sony Playstation and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii became the latest in a history of must-have video game consoles in the early 21st century. Games on the Wii were interactive through the use of motion-sensing hand controllers and other gaming interfaces. The later release of the Wii Fit package made the Nintendo Wii even more popular. * Monster High Dolls: With their ghoulish good looks, Monster High action figures

The dolls are based on a series of young adult novels modeled after “Twilight,” though the Monster High dolls are targeted to younger children than items associated with the wildly popular “Twilight” series.

ecorations and shopping are integral parts of the holiday season, but very often it is the music being played over the airwaves that sets the tone for the festivities to come.

Gift cards are a staple of the holiday season. Often a go-to gift when other options just do not seem to suffice, gift cards remove the worry about whether or not the item will fit or if it’s the right color or model. Gift cards can make ideal gifts because they are chosen with the recipients’ likes and tastes in mind while allowing recipients to shop without spending their own money. Today’s gift cards are better than those of yesteryear, which typically

came with expiration dates and onerous fees. E-gift cards, which can be purchased and redeemed online, are among the most convenient of all gift cards. Although gift cards have many positive attributes, it’s difficult to overlook that gift cards are viewed as a safe gift lacking in originality. But the National Retail Federation notes that in 2011, 57.7 percent of survey respondents said they would prefer to get a gift card that year. This ranks gift cards higher than electronics, clothing and accessories as desired gifts. Recipients of holiday cheer seemingly would like to pick out their own presents, which can ease the burden on gift-givers searching high and low for the perfect gifts. Still, giving a gift card can remove some of the excitement of unwrapping a mystery gift. By employing a few creative tips, gift cards can be fun and unique.

dailyTOWNSMAN townsman / daily DAILY / DAILYbulletin BULLETIN

Scavenger hunt Have the gift recipient work a little in a clever way for the gift. Plant clues around the house that will gradually lead to the hiding spot where the gift card is stashed. Clues can include witty poetic verses or tie into recipients’ personal interests. Nesting boxes Another way to present a gift card is to hide it inside of a box that looks like any other gift. However, once the person unwraps the gift, he or she will discover another wrapped box inside. This prank can be repeated over and over as many times as desired until the gift card is unearthed. Gift basket A gift card can be ensconced with other trinkets and tied into a theme. For example, a gift card for a spa massage may be complemented by lotions, massage oil and a terrycloth robe. These items can all be packaged together in a decorative basket to make the entire gift eye-catching and appealing. Themed wrapping Place the gift card inside of an item that epitomizes the gift. A card for a bookstore

can be nestled inside of the pages of a classic book. A gift card to a hair salon can be attached to the end of a hairbrush. For those gifting to a favorite coffee shop, place the gift card inside of an empty coffee mug.

Shopping savvy Offering a gift card as a present is entitling the recipient to a day of shopping. Wrap the card with a reusable shopping tote so that he or she can carry purchases inside. You can monogram the bag with initials or even decorate it. Otherwise, purchase a new wallet and place the gift card inside. Wrap the wallet and encourage the recipient to go on a spree. Special delivery For a creative spin, work with a retailer that offers home delivery service. Ask to have the gift card attached inside of a pizza box or nestled in a bouquet of flowers. When the recipient receives the delivery, he or she will be surprised by the added gift. Gift cards make convenient gifts, but they may not carry with them the panache of other holiday gifts. Dressing up gift cards in creative ways can make them even more appreciated.

Visit Santa

Santa’s Best Picks

without all the tears! The holiday season means it’s time once again for parents to take their youngsters to visit Santa Claus. Pictures with little boys and girls lining up in their dress clothes with Santa are a holiday tradition, and youngsters are often anxious for their chances to share their Christmas gift wishes with the jolly man in red.

But as integral as such photo sessions are to the holiday season, parents know they are one crying fit or meltdown away from having this tradition turn into trouble. After waiting in long lines to see Santa, it’s understandable when everyone’s patience starts to wear

thin. The combination of antsy children and aggravated adults could set off a chain reaction that culminates in tearstained cheeks and a sullied holiday memory. Pictures with Santa can go much more smoothly when you employ the following tips.

* Prep children. While kids may love the idea of Santa, youngsters face to face with a man in a red suit and a big, white beard may be nervous. Begin talking up Santa a few months before Christmas, mentioning how nice and friendly he is. Gauge how kids act around costumed performers at fairs, circuses and birthday parties and help them grow accustomed to people in costumes. If costumes elicit screams of horror, wait another year before seeing Santa.

* Visit during off-peak hours. Weekends and evenings are the busiest times to visit Santa. This means long lines and longer wait times. Instead of dealing with the masses,

Turn a visit with Santa into a pleasant experience for children of all ages. try to get to the mall when the doors first open. Otherwise, let the children skip a day of school and visit during the week when the lines are shorter.

* Consider another venue. Many different places of business host events where kids can meet Santa. Families may be able to share a meal with Santa at a restaurant or visit him at a nursery while selecting Christmas trees. A different environment may be less intimidating to children and take the pressure off waiting in line in a busy mall. * Go well-fed. There’s little worse than waiting in line and doing so hungry. Hunger pangs can turn even the most placid child into a menace. Pack snacks to enjoy while waiting. Opt for items that will not stain lips and teeth or drip onto clothing. * Make it a family photo. Sometimes the only way to entice a little one to take a picture with Santa is to provide some added security. Dress your best and be prepared to have to step in and cozy up to Santa to ensure your child is all smiles.

Gift Ideas

for the food fanatic on your list Some people are a cinch to shop for come the holiday season, while others can be more of an enigma. When it comes to the latter, shoppers should determine what tickles their mysterious friend or family member’s fancy, such as a favorite hobby or even something to do with his or her profession. Food is a passion for many people and provides holiday shoppers with a great opportunity to make a loved one’s holiday season even more special. Perhaps thanks to the increase in cable networks focusing on food, foodies, those people with an appreciation and passion for cuisine, have grown in number in recent years, and holiday shoppers with foodies on their lists have a host of potential gift options at their disposal.

* Cooking class: Many foodies don’t just like eating food but cooking their favorite cuisine as well. For those who like to get

their hands dirty before filling their bellies, consider paying for a cooking class. Many communities have cooking classics for various types of cuisine, so consult your friend or family member, asking them which cuisine they’d like to learn and when they’re available. Or let them find their own class and then pay for the class. This can be a great way for foodies to learn something new and meet fellow food afficionados along the way.

* Specialty spices: Spices can make the difference between an ordinary meal that’s void of flavor and a meal that’s so flavorful it won’t soon be forgotten. When spicing things up for a foodie this holiday season, don’t just buy regular spices at the grocery store. For example, instead of standard cinnamon, buy a specialty spice like Mexican or Vietnamese cinnamon. Such specialty spices can add extra flavor to a meal while becoming the go-to

Santa’s Best Picks spice for the home chef among your friends and family members.

can’t wait to fire up the grill) to formal (for the gourmet foodie), so get a feel of your friend or family member’s preferences before purchasing a set of serving dishes.

* Pressure cooker: Many foodies are fawning over pressure cooking, which can cut down on cooking times without sacrificing nutrition. Some recipes may take half the time to prepare with a pressure cooker as they might with a more traditional cooking method, an important time saving element that’s attractive to foodies who want to enjoy their favorite foods but feel pressed for time on weeknights. And while pressure cookers employ steam to cook foods quickly, that steam also traps flavor, whereas boiling can wash flavor out. Many foodies also laud pressure cookers for their nutritional benefits. Steaming certain foods

* Cookbook: The ideal fallback item for holiday

can intensify their flavor, which allows cooks to rely less on potentially unhealthy additions like salt or butter to ensure a meal is flavorful.

* Serving dishes: Of course, many foodies want to share the fruits of their labors with friends and family. For the person who loves throwing dinner parties, consider some serving dishes this holiday season. Serving dishes can range from casual (for the foodie who

The wonders of a winter escape to Lake Tahoe

Joyce Termuende at Uniglobe Travel explains why a snowy vacation at Lake Tahoe takes the cake

o you like to ski or snowboard? Do you like to travel? If you answered yes to both, then a ski or snowboard vacation to Lake Tahoe is perfect for you! After a relatively short flight to Reno, Nevada, the adventure begins. Load up your rental car with all your gear, and do the easy one hour drive to Lake Tahoe. Or hop on the shuttle which will take you right up to the village. There are plenty of equipment rental places if you choose to not travel with your gear.

Lake Tahoe is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the California/Nevada border, with the largest alpine lake in North America right at the centre of it all. The crystal clear blue waters make an incredible backdrop while you tear up the slopes. The Lake Tahoe area is divided into two regions, North Village (California) and South Village (Nevada). Both are vibrant villages, full of restaurants, shops, taverns, and nightlife with short drives or shuttles to the ski resorts. Hotels are plenti-

ful and there is a great variety to choose from. But if you like to gamble, the South Tahoe Village, being in Nevada, has first class casinos just like Vegas! There are seven distinct world-class ski hills surrounding Lake Tahoe. The elevation at the lake is 6227 feet (1879 metres), so with the ski areas all at higher elevations, they receive a huge amount of snow each winter, in fact 400 inches (880 centimetres) of the white stuff! One of the big resorts, Squaw Valley, was even the site of the 1960

Olympic Games, with the familiar Olympic rings still in place. In addition to downhill skiing, there are many resorts that offer miles and miles of beautiful Nordic ski trails, with equipment rental readily available as well. Back country enthusiasts can even sign up for full moon tours or overnight snow camping. For assistance putting all this fun together in a package, give us a call at Uniglobe Travel, 250-426-8975, visit us at www.uniglobebakerstreet.com or come on in to 24-10th Avenue South, Cranbrook.

The slopes around Lake Tahoe have deep powder.

Residents participated in workshops and meetings across the Basin, and in a Basin-wide online survey process called Thoughtstream. CBT also consulted with environmental experts and a range of organizations, plus reviewed technical documents that identify environmental challenges in the Basin, and strategic plans from other Basin organizations doing environmental work.

Each of the dances which represent gifts being presented from different parts of the world sparkled. The second half of the concert featured the Symphony Chorus in presenting a work written by composer Christopher Rouse in 1990. Despite being so contemporary, Karolju is very accessible and lively. Rouse wrote festive music for the 11 movements of this suite as if they represented different parts of the world. He wrote the music first, and then decided to write his own text in eight different languages. The texts, Rouse writes, were written not to be intelligible in each language, but rather for the way the words sounded. Let me admit my bias up front—I directed the rehearsals for the choir as they learned this music. Even so, in talking with other
