Conditions good for a backcountry Christmas SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
If you don’t mind dodging boulders, it’s a good time to be out enjoying the backcountry, according to Canadian Avalanche Centre. “Conditions in the south of the province overall are fairly conducive to backcountry travel right now,” said public forecaster James Floyer.
Kootenay avalanche situation mostly low in the lead-up to Christmas
There’s actually not much snow cover in the South Rockies and Kootenay Boundary regions, he explained. “We’re still dealing with some early season hazards: not so much avalanche hazards but rocks and stumps and trees and open water at lower elevation.”
The avalanche risk right now is mostly in the north of the province, with the risk getting lower the further south in B.C. you area. “The low snow amounts are actually keeping the avalanche hazard relatively benign. We are seeing, typically, moderate avalanche hazard in the alpines, some-
times at tree line, and low avalanche hazard below treeline,” said Floyer. “But of course, the flip side of that is there’s not so much powder snow to ride.” Avalanche testers have identified what could become a hazard in the South Rockies, however. On Thursday, a snow-
pack test revealed a buried surface hoar – a weak layer – in the Flathead. Watch the test on video at blogs.avalanche.ca/category/southrockies/. The weak layer forms on the surface then gets buried by more snow, Floyer explained. “It acts as a failure plane
within the snow pack. When you have the combination of the surface hoar layer and you get a sufficiently stiff slab above it, that’s when you get conditions that are ripe for avalanches.”

4-H clubs across Canada, including the Cranbrook club, raised 75,675 pounds of food for food banks in their communities, in time for the Christmas season. This far surpassed the goal of 26,000 pounds, or one pound for each Canadian 4-H member. Above are pictured Cranbrook 4-H District members, who collected over 700 pounds of food.
Police would like to speak to a “helpful female” who lent her phone to the man who called in a bomb threat to Cranbrook’s courthouse on Thursday, Dec. 19. “During the investigation, police learned the subject borrowed a phone from a helpful female in order to make the phone call citing a bomb was in the courthouse. Police would like to speak to her,” said Cpl Newel. “He allegedly asked to borrow her phone as his was out of minutes. This occurred in front of the CIBC bank on Baker Street between 8:30 a.m. And 8:45 p.m., Dec 19. If you are that person, please contact the General Investigation Section at Cranbrook RCMP Detachment, 250 4893471.

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for Neil Elliott Collins who went unlawfully at large late last week. On December 19, 2013, Neil Elliott Collins, 36, was scheduled to appear in the Kelowna Law Courts for sentencing on multiple charges of trafficking, possession of controlled substance, possession of a firearm and possession of property obtained by crime. Collins had been released earlier this month so he could get his affairs in order and was placed on electronic monitoring. He failed to attend Court, could not be contacted at his residence and may have
tampered with his monitoring device. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest. In an initial effort to get Collins into custody, officers from Kelowna and West Kelowna as well as other detachments throughout the Southeast District set up road blocks and searched for him at multiple locations. During the course of their investigation, police arrested an 18-yearold West Kelowna woman and a 62-yearold West Kelowna man for Obstruction. Collins is prohibited from possessing weapons but is known to

Steelworkers ratify new five-year deal Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

daily townsman / daily bulletin
The United Steelworkers union announced Friday that it has ratified a five-year deal with Interior Forests Labour Relations Association member companies in the B.C. Southern Interior. Members of USW Locals 1-405 Cranbrook, 1-417 Kamloops and 1-423 Kelowna voted in favour of the agreement by a majority of 66 per cent. According to the union, the five-year agreement provides significant pay enhancements for Tradesman, who will see a 23 per cent wage increase over the agreement’s term. “It’s based on the same pattern that we negotiated with Canfor,” said Doug Singer, USW Local 1-405 president. The deal also doubles living out allowances for members in apprenticeships to $40 a day or $280 a week, doubles mileage to 50 cents a kilometre to attend school and those attending school outside of their community for more than six weeks will qualify for a second round trip. “It was a balancing act this round of negotiations,” Singer said. “We had to balance trying to negotiate some good increases in wages for all
of our members plus get some trades adjustments so we can maintain and retain trades, and at the same time address some major issues with the pension plan. So I think we struck a very good balance.” The deal also includes wage increases of 13 per cent and $3,400 cash payments over the term of the agreement and improves health and welfare benefits — which include lifetime limits for EHB that increase from $60,000 to $300,000 over the term agreement. Plan C orthodontic coverage increases to a maximum $4,000 with white fillings now covered. Vision care now includes laser eye surgery and eye exams limits increase to $400 in a 24 month period. “We think we’ve struck a really good collective agreement for our members,”Singer said. The agreement also includes better language to ensure employee rights are not compromised relative to the use of Chargehands, a 50 cent per hour ticket premium for log scalers, a carpenter’s rate that rises to meet the level of other tradesman and a two level increase for forestry and engineering technicians,

It suggests a hazard that could be on its way, he said. “It’s certainly something to think about and probably indicates we should start to think about slightly more conservative terrain choices, even though that situation is not quite there yet to create a really significant avalanche hazard. We’re still probably a storm or two away from turning into a really dangerous situation,” said Floyer. A big dump of snow or warmer temperatures can both change avalanche conditions quickly. “I would certainly watch for anomalous snowfall amounts,” said Floyer. “The other thing is if we get a significant warming. “What the warming does is it solidifies and consolidates that upper slab a little bit and makes that slab properties a lit-
tle more conducive to having slab avalanches.” Although conditions are relatively stable right now, recreationalists should still be cautious in the back-country. “We always recommend that people check the avalanche forecast before they head out. We have daily updates. You can do that at avalanche. ca,” said Floyer. “Make sure you are carrying the correct avalanche safety gear, which at a minimum is an avalanche transceiver, a probe and a shovel. You can consider an airbag pack as well. And make sure you know how to use them. If you haven’t already done so it’s a great time to take an avalanche course.” There are avalanche safety courses upcoming in Fernie: Jan. 13 at the College of the Rockies, phone 250-4234691, and Jan. 18 through Zac’s Tracs, phone 403-850-3042.

is the ultimate rule maker for Canada,” Wilks said. “Once they have made a ruling like they did (Friday) morning, then the federal government must make every attempt to comply.” Wilks said the one year time limit allows for modifications to the criminal code to ensure it complies with the ruling. “Minister Peter McKay will review that, along with his staff, and it will come back to the House of Commons at some point in time. I’m assuming as a bill and from that, within the next year, we will have to amend the criminal code to ensure that it reflects what the supreme court of Canada wants.” He said is is no different from when the Supreme Court made the decision on safe injection sites or medical marijuana. “The Supreme Court makes a decision, the federal government must comply,” he said.

The Supreme Court of Canada struck down federal laws that deal with prostitution on Friday, citing they are unconstitutional. The 9-0 ruling noted that “it is not a crime in Canada to sell sex for money.” Kootenay-Columbia Member of Parliament David Wilks said he hadn’t had a chance to review the decision in depth, but did have concerns. “Certainly, in my opinion, it may provide some significant harm to communities, especially those that are involved in that trade,” Wilks told the Townsman on Friday. Currently it is a crime to keep a bawdyhouse (brothel), to live on the avails of prostitution or to communicate in public with respect to the proposed act of prostitution. Parliament has classified lawful prostitution into two categories: street prostitution and out-
calls. The ruling agrees that the “restrictions on prostitution put the safety and lives of prostitutes at risk, and are therefore unconstitutional. “ Wilks said parliament will look at the ruling closely. The current criminal code provisions will stay in place for the next year, to allow time for parliament to come up with a new plan. “There are still thing in the criminal code that will protect those that are in that trade.,” Wilks said. “As you know, the Supreme Court gave the federal government of Canada one year to modify the laws of Canada. So I’m sure the minister will look at it very closely. I sit on the justice committee and I’m sure it will be coming to us in due course.” The Supreme Court also notes that it is not about whether or not prostitution should be legal. “The Supreme Court

Kimberley couple hit with ‘grandson scam’ C AROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin
Scams often work because they target your emotions, and the socalled “grandson scam” is especially effective because it targets a grandparent’s love for their grandchild. There are a few variations on the scam, but the central theme is that the grandchild is in jail and needs immediate funds for release. Often, as recently occurred in Nanaimo, the grandparent is contacted by a “lawyer” who says the grandchild is incarcerated and immediate funds are required for his release. In Nanaimo,
the grandchild was supposedly jailed in Peru. Several seniors fell victim to this scam in November; one senior reported losing almost $7,000, another $3,500 and just another lost $24,000. The request is that the money be sent through a wire transfer, which can be done at the post office. Recently in Kimberley, a senior couple fell victim as well, but luckily only lost $1,000. The senior contacted the Bulletin to get the word out but prefers her name not be used. She is 78 years old and mad at herself for falling for it but says you
get so upset at the time that you just want to help. “We weren’t very proud of it,” she said. “Usually we’re sharper than that.” They were called at 4 p.m. in the afternoon and told by a “lawyer” that there grandson was in a holding tank in Burnaby and would be held for the weekend on an impaired driving charge. “They told us that he didn’t want to contact his parents because he didn’t want to upset them.” She and her husband were actually suspicious but the timing made
haste seem imperative. “We asked for a cell phone number and his name, but it’s 4:30 on Friday, there’s nowhere to check. They even put my grandson on the line and I said, “it doesn’t sound like you”, and he said that he broke his nose when the airbag deployed.” She had her grandson’s cell phone number and called it, but as luck would have it, it went to voice mail. Unfortunately, that helped convince them the story may be true. “We thought they took his phone when they arrested him.” The couple remained
Alberta man dies from avalanche after going out of bounds at Kicking Horse Canadian Press
The 29-year-old snowboarder from Edmonton who died from an avalanche in eastern British Columbia has been identified by his friends. Scott Dougherty says words can barely do justice to Shane Schroeder’s memory and says his friend was always there to brighten his day. Mounties say they received a
call Friday from a rider who was with Schroeder at the time of the avalanche, which happened in an out-of-bounds area near the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort just outside of Golden. The rider who called for help had escaped unharmed. RCMP and search-and-rescue teams responded and airlifted the victim to hospital in Golden. Schroeder was pronounced
dead the same day and the coroner is investigating. Dougherty says friends are thinking of starting an avalanche-awareness program as a memorial to Schroeder. Friends of Schroeder have also set up a memorial page on Facebook. They say the rider who called for help escaped unharmed.
leery and although $2,200 was asked for, only sent $1000. Having realized later they were scammed, they regret it. “We weren’t very happy about it, but luck-
ily we are not in a position where $1,000 means we don’t eat. But our heart was in the right place. When they hit you with your grandchild, you just want to help.”
Despite embarrassment over falling for it, the Kimberley senior wanted to tell her story so others wouldn’t become victims of the same scam.

It happened in Cranbrook DAVID HUMPHREY
It happened on the week of Dec. 15 – 21 in Cranbrook’s early days. Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 Fine Sleighing … Sleighing is now fine in this neighbourhood, and many are enjoying the pleasure of rapid rides. The Presbyterian Church … Formal Dedication Took Place Last Sunday Morning. The Presbyterian church, the sills of which were laid only six weeks ago, was opened last Sunday by Rev, Robert Frew, of Nelson, who preached both morning and evening and addressed the first Sabbath school meeting held in Cranbrook in the afternoon. It is gratifying to all who are interested in the work of the church to have a suitable building in which the various departments of church work can be carried on The formal dedication o f the church took place at the morning service. Mr. Frew made a few appropriate remarks, offered a dedicatory prayer and presented the key of the building to A. Moffat, as representing the board of managers, in the name of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The evening sermon was upon the subject of “ Prayer,” and the church was well filled. Mr. Frew, in again referring to the building, congratulated the people of Cranbrook in having erected and dedicated a Presbyterian church so early in the history of the town, and thanked those who by their subscriptions made this possible. He appealed for further support to enable the managers to put on the finishing touches. The Spirit of the Steamer … Boatmen on the Kootenay lake declare that they have seen the steamer Ainsworth passing along the regular route after she was sunk. No information is given as to the brand of whiskey used there. Hot Air Cabinets Are Here …W. B. McFarlane has received his hot air bath cabi-
nets and placed them ready for use in his barber shop. A hot air bath is a health-giving institution. It will cure colds, relieve lung trouble, cure rheumatism and make any person feel like a new person. Come in and try them. 1900 A wonderful display … A representative of The Herald visited R. E. Beattie’s store this week and was astonished to find the marked metropolitan air which pervades the establishment. In the first place the room is filled to overflowing with Christmas goods of every variety and description. Nowhere, in East or West Kootenay, is there a larger or better stock of holiday goods. The selection of holiday gifts is made easy in his store, as one has such a magnificent field to pick from. There are leather goods, traveling folios, Japanese ware, delicate china, manicures, mirrors, perfumes, works of fiction and poetry, dolls, toys, and novelties of all kinds, and all of the latest designs and makes; not an old article on display. One will find it a pleasure to call and look at this great stock and have the various novelties explained. To the children, Mr. Beattie’s store is a haven of delight, and their bright eyes snap with joy as they gaze on the marvels of beauty displayed. The place is specially arranged for the holiday trade, and at night is flooded by extra electric lights, so a purchaser can see as well in the evening as during the day. Whether one buys or not, they cannot afford to miss seeing this immense aggregation of articles for young and old. A Slander On Cranbrook Girls … From the Fernie Free Press: A new game for the winter evenings is called an “ onion sociable.” Six young ladies take an onion into a room and after one has taken a bite out of it a young man is admitted. If, after kissing them all, he fails to tell which one o f them bit the onion, all the girls are obliged to kiss him. The girls are said to like the game so
well that they do not bite. This will likely be a favorite game for the young folks of Cranbrook the present winter.
Weather … From the present weather indications it appears as though the Christmas of 1900 will be a green one.
New Homes … There are at least 25 new residences being arranged for in Cranbrook. The first summer in the new century will be a hummer in the building line in Cranbrook.
A Horrible Outbreak … Large sores on my little daughter’s head developed into a case of scald head” writes C. D, Isbill of Morganton, Tenn., but Bicklen’s Arnica Salve completely cured her. It ’s a guaranteed cure for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, pimples, sores, ulcers and piles. Only 25¢ at Beattie’s Drug Store.
Cranbrook’s Schools … The matter of school accommodation has been a burning question for a long time in Cranbrook. It was only after much “asking for” and a great deal of correspondence that an assisted school was started in a shack in the fall of 1898. It took another year to get the government to build a school house, and when they did do it, they built one that was not one-half large enough. This fall the “powers that be” after having been asked repeatedly by the member for this district, have built a new school house to supplement the old one, and although this is a great improvement, still we have not room enough and we shall once more have to ask the government to build. In the matter of the salaries of the school teachers, the government’s allowance has for the last 18 months had to be supplemented by private subscription. The number of school children in the fall of 1898 was seven.

Recovering grizzly populations not a threat to humans
Wildsight has been engaged with grizzly bear population surveys as well as efforts to assure healthy grizzly bear populations in the region for several decades. While it is true that grizzly bear numbers are recovering in this region, it is a simplistic misrepresentation to suggest that recovery is complete and that a hunt is necessary to avoid grizzly encounters with humans. These conclusions are not supported by either detailed grizzly population data or the science of human bear-conflict. Population numbers can easily give the false impression of an overabundance of bears roaming the region. While approximately 900 grizzly bears do inhabit the Purcells and Rockies between the US border and Golden, these are sometimes broken into small isolated populations—particularly in the southern Purcells. Isolated populations are threatened with extinction. Fragmentation of populations remains a significant issue and there remains a dire need to create and maintain connectivity corridors with adjoining bear populations. The suggestion that hunting is necessary to protect people from grizzlies is misinformed and counter to all research on human-bear incidents. It has been consistently demonstrated that guns and the attempted use of lethal force lead to increased injuries of both humans and bears -- and are far less effective than bear spray. A recent Human-Bear Conflict Conference in Missoula – featuring leading researchers from across North America concluded that hunting does not reduce human-bear conflict. Most encounters arise when people come in proximity to bear food sources. Bear sightings have steadily increased in the valley since the return of kokanee to our river systems, but the vast majority of bears are neither encountered nor seen by residents, particularly if people practice bear smart management of waste and fruit trees. The incident of watching a
bear consume a horse carcass is the result of poor livestock disposal, and it creates a risk to anyone unaware of the feeding sight. Gut piles left by hunters also lead to human-bear interactions. Bears do their best to avoid humans, unless it becomes a choice between food and confronting people. It is everyone’s responsibility to avoid bear habituation to human food sources. Increased sightings in urban areas are often associated with the failure of berry crops, and only a bear aware community will reduce conflicts. The majority of recorded grizzly mortality is not from hunting, but hunting does unnecessarily increase mortalities. Currently, collisions with trains and highway vehicles represent significant causes of grizzly bear mortality. Human-bear interactions arising from poor management of waste and fruit trees also contribute. Wildsight’s vision for healthy wildlife populations calls for select wildlife sanctuary areas in the Rocky and Purcell Mountains, combined with habitat protection and corridor management. Grizzly bears remain threatened despite healthy populations in some areas of the East Kootenay. There is much work to be done to maintain connectivity. Wildsight focuses efforts on maintaining critical habitat and recovery corridors, particularly across Highway 3 in the Purcells and the Rockies. Hunting will not make people safer. There is no evidence to suggest that opening the hunt will address problem bears wandering near human habitation. We all need to become bear smart and take action on how we influence wildlife behavior. John Bergenske Executive Director, Wildsight
Grinches don’t win
Yes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia and their names are Zoey and William Stenerson. On December 1, the residents of Candy Cane Lane awoke to find their annual Christmas displays had been van-
dalized overnight. Zoey and her family always have come to Candy Cane Lane each year on Christmas eve and enjoy the lights and decorations. When seven-yearold Zoey heard what had happened she felt sad and decided that her Christmas wish this year was to “fix Candy Cane Lane after the people had wrecked it”. Zoey took $30 of her own money and then challenged her older brother William to match it which he did.Their parents Adam and Ramona then matched the kids donations. Zoey’s mom, who is at Shivers in in Western Financial Place, also donated $1 from bags of popcorn sold on December 13 and 14, then David, the manager at the Superstore added a $50 gift card to their cause. The kids then purchased a number of decorations including extension cords and brought them to us. When they were dropping off the items, Zoey’s mom remarked to my wife that while she and her family were doing this Zoey said she felt all warm inside, funny after this generous and amazing act we feel kind of warm inside too! On Monday night after I got home from work I wrote out a little explanation about this wonderful act, attached it to the various items and then got to play Santa by going to each of the neighbours on our street. I had to tell them to read the note as It was very hard to explain without becoming quite emotional. The items purchased now have added at least one new and very special decoration to every display on the street. I would also like to thank Mary who lives across from the hospital for finding the pile of decorations thrown over the fence at the golf course and then taking the initiative to find out where they had come from and then trying to get them back to the original owners. Yes, Santa Claus, the spirit of the season alive and well in Cranbrook, even more so on Candy Cane Lane and two rotten Grinches in a little pickup truck will not change that one bit. Merry Christmas! Mark and Trish Wagner Cranbrook
News and notes from Cranbrook’s early days Continued from page 6
Cranbrook’s Schools, continued … Today, just two years later, the number is nearly 300. There is no doubt that the board of trustees, the teachers and the children have been under many disadvantages. The government has not, up till now, appreciated the solid and steady growth of Cranbrook, and the consequence is that she has been left behind in the forward march of education. But since the town has been visited by a member of the British Columbia cabinet, no doubt the wants of the people of this town (from an educational point of view) will be brought to the ear of the executive, and that, in common justice, they will do all in their power to put the educational facilities of Cranbrook upon the level that the town deserves. 1901 Great Business … C. P. Campbell, the undertaker, was in town Thursday. Mr. Campbell says he has buried 81 persons within two years, which shows that business in his line has been brisk.
Narrow Escape … A brakeman named John Bremner, who lives in Cranbrook, had a very narrow escape in the yard here Wednesday. He was turning a switch and attempted to step on the footboard of the engine. He missed connection and in falling grabbed the brakebeam and was dragged under. While under the engine he let go of the brakebeam and did a stunt that will stop his growth for some time. Nearly the whole length of the big engine passed over him when he was “ hunched” up between the rails. He was taken between the drivers without a scratch. Marysville … 16 miles northeast of Cranbrook and 3 miles south of Kimberley, is a reality. A branch from the North Star railway is graded into the town miles; the rails will be laid in ten days and then? There is already a nice drug store, 3 general stores, 1 restaurant, a medical man, the Marysville “Tribune,” 3 weeks old, a bright, clean, crispy newspaper; 2 sawmills, a brickyard turning out 20,000 daily, and’ the stone foundation of the smelter
all but completed is ocular demonstration that the town is there to stay. Whose Saw? … We borrowed a saw two weeks ago and forgot who loaned it to us. We let this fact be known, and since then nine men have claimed the saw, and four have proven that it was their property. We still have the saw. New Road … It is said that the new road from Fernie to Jennings, a distance of 106 miles, will be completed next March. Saga Creek Oil … East Kootenay is, like Pennsylvania full of natural resources, and it looks as though oil and natural gas are among its assets. Oil prospectors report that they have found oil on Saga Creek. The oil came from a spring where the creek leaves the mountains. Near where the oil was found natural gas was escaping from the bedrock. The location of the oil and gas fields is about six miles north of the Kinati Lake locations in the Fort Steele district.

U.S. women’s hockey team downs Canada 4-1 in exhibition play GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Brianna Decker scored the eventual winner to lift the U.S. women’s hockey team over Canada 4-1 on Friday in an exhibition game ahead of the Sochi Winter Games. Monique Lamoureux and Jocelyne Lamoureux each had a goal and an assist for the American squad and Hilary Knight added one more. Haley Irwin scored Canada’s lone goal of the game as Jayna Hefford and Caroline Ouellette picked up assists. The Canadians, under new head coach Kevin Dineen, gave up three goals in a seven-minute span in the second period. Dineen took his first international coaching job after Dan Church stepped down unexpectedly last week with less than two months before the start of the Sochi Olympics. Canadian Press
Reinhart survives Team Canada cuts The 22-man roster for the World Junior Championship will be offically submitted on Dec. 25 TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Team Canada has finalized their 22-man roster after releasing forwards Hunter Shinkaruk, Felix Girard and rearguard Damon Severson following two pre-tournament games at the World Junior Championship in Sweden. The Canadians started their exhibition action with a 4-2 win over the Finns on Friday and lost 3-0 against their hosts on Sunday. The final roster for all teams have to be submitted to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on Christmas Day. Shinkaruk, captain of the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers and a first-round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, has been struggling with a hip injury this season. Severson, a defenceman with the Kelowna Rockets and property of the New Jersey Devils, ended up being the odd man out as the lone cut from the defensive corps. Girard, who plays for Baie-Comeau Drakkar
of the QMJHL, is in the system with the Nashville Predators as a fourth-round pick in the 2013 NHL draft. Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart picked up an assist while playing alongside OHL phenom Connor McDavid and London Knights star Bo Horvat in a 4-2 win over the Finns on Friday morning. Canadian goals came from Horvat, Aaron Ekblad, Anthony Mantha and Mathew Dumba. Canada got 11 saves out of Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Zachary Fucale, while generating 20 shots on the Finnish netminder. Canada was shut out in only one opportunity on with the man-advantage, while killing off all six powerplays from the Finns. The Canadians rolled into Sunday’s game against the Swedes and lost 3-0. Jake Paterson got the start, making 31 saves in net, while his teammates put 21 shots on Swedish goaltender Marcus Hogberg. Dumba, a former

Dynamiters split weekend with Rockets TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
A bad period was the only thing that stood between the Kimberley Dynamiters and two wins over the weekend. The Nitros gave up three goals in the second period of a 4-1 loss to the Golden Rockets, but exploded for an 8-3 win on home ice the following night in a rematch. Kimberley is currently in a standings battle with the Fernie Ghostriders and lead by two points for second place in the Eddie Mountain Division. The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are in the top spot with a seven-point cushion. Brady Revie and Jason Richter led the
way with a pair of goals on Saturday night, as the Nitros scored seven unanswered goals in the second and third period to win 8-3. The two teams traded powerplay goals in the first frame, Golden first by Cole Mckechney before Tyson Klingspohn answered for the Dynamiters. Tanner Watt retook the lead for the Rockets a the halfway mark of the second period before the floodgates opened. In his second KIJHL game after being called up from the B.C. Major Midget League, Coy Prevost notched his first career KIJHL marker, followed by Richter’s first of the game a few minutes later. Leading 3-2 with 20
minutes to go in the game, the Dynamiters put on the pressure. Four goals at even strength came from Richter, Revie, Alex Rosolowsky and Jared Marchi, while Revie’s second marker came on the powerplay.
Golden managed to get on the board with 4:13 left in the game with the man-advantage on a goal from Dustin Watt. Jeremy Mousseau picked up the win with
21 saves while Brian Parsons and Adam Johnson collectively made 25 stops in goal for the Rockets. Kimberley’s powerplay drew blood twice in eight opportunities while Golden was good for a pair of goals in 10 chances with the man-advantage. It was a more positive result than the night before in Golden, where the Dynamiters allowed three goals in the second period to give up a 4-1 loss to the Rockets. With just under 1:30 left in the opening period, Marchi opened the scoring on a solo effort, but just 24 seconds later, the Rockets answered back on a powerplay from Braeden Allkins.
In the second period, Nick Hoobanoff and Allkins added even-strength goals, while Ian Desrosier posted a powerplay goal in-between for Golden. Tyson Brouwer took the loss in goal with 20 saves while Parsons picked up the win with 26 stops in goal for Golden. The Rockets had the edge on special teams, with two goals in nine powerplay opportunities, while Kimberley was shut out in four chances with the man-advantage. The Dynamiters have a brief break for Christmas, and will return to action with a game in Fernie against the Ghostriders on Dec. 28th.

Manning sets new NFL record Kristie Rieken Associated Press
HOUSTON - Peyton Manning has broken Tom Brady’s NFL record for most touchdown passes in a season with 51. Denver’s Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining in the game Sunday against the Texans. Just 2 1-2 minutes earlier, he tied the mark with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker. “I really feel like it’s a team accomplishment, certainly an offensive a c c o m p l i s h m e n t ,” Manning said. “There’s a lot of people that played roles in this.” Manning made the throw to Thomas and walked toward the end zone, where his teammates patted him on the head. He then took off his helmet and walking to the sideline and pumped his fist once. His teammates came out to greet him and he gave dozens of highfives as he grinned and walked to the bench. Decker picked up the ball after Thomas dropped it and tucked it in the side of his jersey, where it remained as he walked off the field. Manning entered the game with 47 TDs and his first touchdown came on a 36-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter.
The second one was a 10-yard throw to Decker early in the fourth period. “We’re not surprised at what Peyton does,” Julius Thomas said. “The work he puts in every day, you see how he demands the best from himself. Fortunate for us, we’re the beneficiaries of that.” Brady set the record, which previously belonged to Manning, in 2007. Manning had established the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004. “They were able to make the big plays and we weren’t able to stop them from doing that,” Houston safety Shiloh Keo said. Surrounded by the best targets he’s ever had, operating a turbocharged assault with a body that’s much less a question mark, Manning is putting up record numbers like he did in that remarkable 2004 season. That year, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Brandon Stokley all topped 1,000 yards receiving. Manning established NFL records with 49 touchdown throws and a 121.1 passer rating, marks since surpassed by Brady and Aaron Rodgers (122.5). Manning was the NFL’s 2012 Comeback

Player of the Year, showing he was every bit as good as before. He’s having his best season at age 37, just two years removed from the four neck surgeries that weakened his right triceps and threatened his career. He hadn’t missed a start with the Colts before 2011. Last week, Houston interim coach Wade Phillips said Manning’s season was “just the best year ever of any quarterback.”
Manning began 2013 by becoming the first quarterback since 1969 to throw for seven touchdowns in a game. Earlier this month he broke an NFL record he held with Brett Favre for most playoff appearances when he qualified for his 13th trip to the post-season. Although he could set several more standards this season, Manning has insisted his only concern is the Broncos’ win-loss record. He wants desper-
ately to gain home-field advantage and the top seed in the AFC playoffs again. Manning finished Sunday’s game with a career-high 5,211 yards passing. He is 266 from surpassing the single-season record for yards passing set by Drew Brees in 2011. Manning threw 37 touchdown passes last year, which broke a franchise record of 27 set by John Elway in 1997 and tied by Jake Plummer in 2004.
Canadian Duncan strikes again in skicross World Cup C anadian Press
SAN CANDIDO, Italy - Canadian Dave Duncan is hitting his stride just in time for the Winter Olympics. Duncan of London, Ont., won his second skicross World Cup in as many days on Sunday, rocketing him to the top of the men’s overall rankings and qualifying him for the Sochi Games in February. “From the outhouse to the penthouse,” said Duncan, who skied on the international circuit for five years before winning his first World Cup on Saturday. “It’s pretty hard to sum up everything that’s happened this weekend. It’s an incredible feeling. “I know that’s a troublesome word, but the truth of it is that de-
scribes how much this means to me to get that first win and not even have to wait 24 hours to get a second one. I mean, this is the stuff you dream of.” Duncan finished ahead of Austria’s Andreas Matt and Germany’s Daniel Bohnacker. Calgary’s Brady Leman was fourth in the final after a mid-air collision knocked him off course.
“In the final I was battling, trying to move up,” said Leman. “I was fourth for a bit, third for a bit, I was really battling with Andy Matt and in the end we kind of got tangled up and then I missed a gate and that was it.” In women’s competition, Marielle Thompson of Whistler, B.C., finished second behind Switzerland’s Katrin Mueller. German team-
mates Heidi Zacher and Anna Woerner were third and fourth, respectively. The silver medal kept Thompson atop the overall women’s rankings. “Today was just awesome,” said Thompson. “I just won every start and really showed where my skiing’s at. I’m really excited to have the leader bib back again. It just goes
to show that all that training I did this summer is paying off. “I’m just feeling really great.” Kelsey Serwa of Kelowna, B.C., won the small final, placing fifth overall. Canada’s skicross team made the podium fives times over the weekend, bumping several of its members into contention for spots at the Olympics.

the bottom of the slope, Vonn missed a gate in Saturday’s World Cup downhill at Val d’Isere as her troublesome right knee buckled under her and gave way. The American was clearly distressed after
skiing off course and looked close to tears. She didn’t fall but grimaced as she pulled up, clutching her knee. Vonn needed surgery in February to reconstruct two knee ligaments after a crash at
the world championships, and then partially re-tore one of them in November. Vonn said will give herself plenty of rest and only compete in “one maybe two races before the Olympics. That’s it.”

BRASILIA, Brazil Canada had to wait until the 83rd minute of its match against Scotland before scoring a goal. But luckily for the Canadian squad, one goal was all it needed. Winnipeg’s Sophie Schmidt scored the winner off a Diana Matheson corner kick to seal Canada’s thirdplace spot in the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Feminino in Brazil on Sunday. “It’s probably one of my goals to become a more prolific goalscorer so I’ve got to keep that mentality moving forward, especially when the likes of Christine Sinclair and Adriana Leon aren’t putting the ball in the back of the net,” Schmidt said. “We’ve got to get that support from that midfield unit so I want to keep scoring more often.” A young Canadian team consisting of 15-year-old Jessie Fleming, 16-year-old Sura Yekka, 18-year-old Kadeisha Buchanan, and the 21-year-old Leon looked comfortable throughout the match, aside from a few Scotland chances
which included a near miss when their opponent hit the crossbar early in the second half. Head coach John Herdman says he was impressed with the talent shown by his young team. “In today’s game, we played with a 15, 16, and 18-year-old on the pitch and a 21-year-old all at the same time. So if you talk about the future I think things bode well,” said Herdman. “It’s going to be great for the future. I was very impressed with Jessie Fleming today and her composure in her (full) debut.” Leon and Sinclair scored in Canada’s 2-0 victory over Scotland in the tournament opener on Dec. 12. The Canadians then lost to Chile 1-0 on Dec. 15 and earned a 0-0 draw with host Brazil on Dec. 18. That loss and draw sent Canada to a rematch with Scotland for third place. “The girls deserved to get something out of that today and they did,” Herdman said. “It’s just about resilience, persistence to keep going, and I think we should have had it sewn up by halftime to be honest.”
Nets leading scorer Brook Lopez out again with broken right foot Associated Press
NEW YORK - Centre Brook Lopez has broken a bone in his right foot again, leaving the Brooklyn Nets without their leading scorer as they try to turn around a disappointing season. The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Lopez had the same injury, a fractured fifth metatarsal, when he was limited to five games in the 2011-12 season. He underwent surgery following last season to replace a bent screw in the foot. Lopez is averaging 20.7 points and 6.0 re-
bounds in 17 games. He has missed nine with a sprained left ankle. Though was no indication he was seriously injured Friday, when he played 44 minutes. The 7-footer from Stanford didn’t miss a game during his first three seasons in the NBA, but hasn’t made it through a full season since. He missed seven games last season when he sprained the same foot. The Nets are just 9-17 after entering the season with huge expectations. They have Andray Blatche and Reggie Evans as possible replacements on the bench, or could move Kevin Garnett to the centre position, as the Boston Celtics did last season.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: For the past several years, my husband has taken out a new credit card each January and maxed it out over the next 12 months. This has resulted in major debt, which I fear will devastate our family and possibly affect our children and grandchildren. My husband is a good and caring person who often picks up the restaurant tabs for our friends and family and buys them gifts they could buy for themselves. As a result, he is extremely popular. If I try to limit these unnecessary expenses, everyone thinks I’m a spoilsport. We are approaching the time where he will apply for another new credit card. Should I prohibit this until we reach some agreement on budget cuts? Should I let him go ahead and get the new card and then try to negotiate budget cuts? Or do I keep on trucking as usual and hope for the best? -- Concerned Spouse Dear Spouse: If you are going into debt, please don’t shove this under the carpet until you are living on the street. Your husband seems to be a compulsive buyer, and it can be similar to other addictions that require effort to overcome. Is he willing to recognize and address the problem? (Therapy can help.) Would he be willing to let you handle the family finances while he is put on a cash allowance? You also can contact Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org) and the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, our daughter married a truly nice guy, and they made it clear right away that they didn’t want “dropin” visitors. I understood this, as they both work full time. Three years ago, they bought a large home close to us, but in all the years they’ve been married, we can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been invited over for anything, including the kids’ birthdays, cookouts, etc. Yet I know my daughter’s inlaws are often invited. Our grandchildren ask why we never come to their house, and I simply say it’s because we’re never invited. What should I say? -Confused in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please stop manipulating the children to get to the parents, which is exactly what you are doing when you tell them you’re “never invited.” Instead, talk to your daughter. Ask whether there is a problem and what you can do about it. She may have reasons for keeping you at a distance, so please make her understand that you cannot fix things if you don’t know what the issues are. If she still doesn’t invite you to her place, ask whether the children can visit at your house. As long as you can see your family, it really doesn’t matter where. Dear Annie: “Too Late To Try Again” said she was cut off by a relative with no explanation. This happened in my family. Tell her it might help if she can laugh about the situation. I am from an Italian family and married into another Italian family. My new motherin-law was angry with her cousin “Angela.” They had been close for a long time, but then they didn’t speak for years. When Angela died, my mother-in-law cried buckets but refused to go to the funeral. She said, “We didn’t talk when she was alive, and I’m not going to talk to her now that she’s dead.” So I asked my mother-inlaw what the argument was about, because it was obviously so terrible that good friends stopped speaking. She replied, with tears in her eyes, “I don’t remember!” But true to her word, she did not go to the funeral. -- New York Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
