Council wants update to development, subdivision rules ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Coun. Bob Whetham put forward a resolution that seeks updates to legislation that deals with development and subdivision from

a local government level.

At the regular meeting on Jan. 19, council approved sending the resolution for consideration to the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Govern-

ments.

Whetham said there are frustrations sometimes dealing with the current legislation that governs subdivision and and development.

The resolution notes that current legislation is dated and not adequate. It also notes that legislation in neighbouring jurisdictions provide greater certainty for developers and the public

through more responsive permitting and approval.

Whetham’s resolution asks that the government be asked to initiate a review of Part 26 of the Local Government Act and related plan-

ning and development legislation and then consult with the Union of B.C. Municipalities regarding changes.

CAC issues safety reminder in wake of avalanche death

daily townsman / daily bulletin

NEWS Barry Coulter

2014, one person was killed in an avalanche while snowmobiling near Valemount, B.C. While everyone in the group was carrying essential safety gear — avalanche transceivers,

A recent avalanche death in B.C. has prompted the Canadian Avalanche Centre to issue a safety reminder to backcountry users.

On Saturday, Jan. 18,

probes and shovels — the victim could not be located for over three hours.

Locating an avalanche victim quickly is a critical factor in increasing their odds of

survival.

“Avalanche victims have an 80 per cent chance of survival if found and dug out within 10 minutes of burial, but the odds drop dramatically after that,” said

There’s snow deal like this.

Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) executive director Gilles Valade.

“After just 35 minutes, there’s less than a 10 per cent chance of survival.”

The CAC and the BC Coroners Service (BCCS) would like to remind all winter backcountry users that familiarity with their avalanche transceiver is vital. Modern digital transceivers are very intuitive tools, but practice is still required in order to become adept with their use.

The CAC and the BCCS urge everyone who recreates in the winter backcountry to take a two-day Avalanche Skills Training course in order to learn essential safety skills, and practice them before entering avalanche terrain.

Forecasts issued by the CAC on Friday, Jan. 24, noted that the avalanche danger in the Purcells region was moderate to low, and moderate for the South Rockies region.

KELOWNA, B.C. — RCMP have identified the Kelowna man found dead Saturday morning as 32-year-old Christopher Ausman.

Ausman was found dead in a neighbourhood by Highway 33 and police are treating his death as suspicious.

Const. Kris Clark says he can’t reveal the cause of death, as it may compromise the investigation.

He says police are trying to retrace the man’s steps before he died, and investigators are asking anyone who contacted Ausman Friday or Saturday call Kelowna RCMP. Friends and family have established a memorial page for Ausman on Facebook and posts on the site identify him as a devoted father to his daughter.

Whetham wants update CONTINUED from page 1 sometimes the uses are not easy to determine if they are fit for the land use. For instance churches in Alberta are under the discretionary uses and normally located in resident areas.

In Fort MacMurray, a church can be anything from a simple cross in front of a building to an elaborate structure. So developers have to submit plans with what they actually intend to do, including landscaping, parking, orientation.

The other issue is with the Preliminary Layout Approval letters that the province sometimes issues. But the exact conditions for its issuance is not defined.

At one point one was issued for a developer in Cranbrook subject to policies that had not

been created yet.

“So in other words, the developer was able to go ahead and start marketing before the application had even been received by council,” he said.

Whetham said it is time for an overall review.

Last year Whetham brought the resolution to the UBCM but ran out of time. So this time he wants to have the discussion at the AKBLG prior to the UBCM. Coun. Diana J. Scott was opposed to sending the resolution for consideration at the AKBLG meeting

“Really this comes from having worked in planning both in B.C. and Alberta, in the public sector as well as the private sector,” Whetham said. “My experience in Alberta is that we had legislation that I think was far more enabling and also had timelines.”

Whetham said a lot of the things that local governments struggle with in B.C. are things that are pretty straightforward in Alberta.

He noted the City of Nelson’s concerns at last year’s AKBLG meeting.

Nelson had an appeal that had already gone to the board of variance and then came back to council as a development variance permit.

“So they all dealt with the same thing twice,” he said. “That meant that the applicant was put through two entire approval processes on the same thing and that involved a lot of time for everyone.”

In Alberta, Whetham said, the process is straightforward and has to be completed within a prescribed amount of time.

Another thing he found useful in Alberta that isn’t here is there are process where there are discretionary uses on zoning bylaws. Here they are descriptive, with setback, building height and those kinds of things. But he said

The lesson from Ian Curtis Mike Selby

“I have only ever seen one dead body in my life,” reads the first sentence in Paul Morley’s ‘Nothing’ — a book about everything the author spent most of his life trying to forget: the suicide of his father.

Not only does the book open with that sentence, but every paragraph for the next eight pages opens with that same sentence.

‘Nothing’ is the title as that’s what Morley’s father was to him. A complete void. Written decades after the event, Morley cannot remem-

ber what his father looked like, what he did for a living, or even what his full name was. Yet his father was also a ‘nothing’ while he was alive.

He never talked to his son, never told him he loved him, never smiled or laughed in his presence.

Morley didn’t want to see the body; had no intention of going anywhere near it. Yet he was literally dragged into the funeral home, and was forced to gaze into the open casket. He writes eloquently of this experience, at looking at “someone who had sav-

agely succeeded at suicide even as he felt useless and helpless and pointless.” He stared at the body for sometime, trying to comprehend what he doing there. The person who dragged him in to see the body finally spoke: “Now Paul, you can write your book about this.”

Looking down at the body again Morley knew this was the book he was born to write; simultaneously knowing he never would. The achingly heartfelt emotions which make up the first eight pages of ‘Nothing’ are in fact not about his father

at all. “I have only seen one dead body in my life,” Morley repeats, “and it wasn’t the body of my father.”

It was the body of Ian Curtis, the 23-year-old lead singer of Joy Division, a post-punk band from Manchester. As a writer for the New Music Express, Morley had written extensively about Joy Division. He attended every one of their performances, championed them in his articles, and became friends with them. Much of their early success was owed to Morley’s enthusiastic writing about them.

Joy Division was comprised of four friends who had grown up together. In June of 1976, they attended a concert in Manchester’s Lesser Free Trade Hall, put on by a group calling themselves the Sex Pistols. The musicians on stage were so excruciatingly bad, all four friends came to the conclusion that they be excruciatingly bad as well. (This ‘bad’ concert became one of the most pivotal moments in rock history, on par if not surpassing Woodstock. Of the 30 people who attended, every single one of them became hugely successful in the music business — including Morley.)

The more time he spent with Joy Division, the more Morley saw that Ian Curtis stood apart. They all came from working-class families, but Curtis was much more well read.

He was an award winning poet, and he was also married with a baby on the way. The band’s name came from a book Curtis had read — ‘The House of Dolls’ by someone calling themselves Ka-Tsetnik 135633. ‘Joy Division’ was a term the Nazis used for their purestrain brothels they set up in concentration camps. The origins of this book remains unclear. Ka-Tsetnik 135633 claims it is from the diary of a young girl forced to work in one of nine Joy Divisions, however no actual diary or source material has ever been found.

Curtis also stood apart from his friends as he suffered from horrendously violent epileptic

seizures. These became more and more frequent as the band became more and more successful. The loud music, the screaming crowds, and intense flashing lights all but guaranteed a seizure.

Unfortunately, Curtis kept telling those worried about him that he was fine, he just needed to sleep, and was on medication. No one knew just how despondent and ashamed he felt after each fit. No one knew that the disease prevented him from holding his newborn baby daughter. No one knew he had been unsuccessfully trying kill himself, until he succeeded in May of 1980.

These were the emotions and damning guilt Morley felt as he looked upon Curtis’ body.

While he was the most obvious person to write a book about Joy Division, and that was the reason he was dragged to Curtis’ body, he knew he wouldn’t. In fact, he quit writing altogether (he began to produce music instead, performed in his own band The Art of Noise, and came up with the iconic ‘80s phrase “Frankie Says Relax”).

And then, decades later, his own daughter asked about her grandfather, and Morley felt they should both try and find out. This quest saw him writing again, and ‘Nothing’ was published to rave reviews by surprised critics — who admitted they didn’t expect a music columnist to write so eloquently about “the shadowy bereavement that haunted him all his adult life.”

“I wanted to miss him,” Morley writes. “I wanted him to be someone I missed. I never could say in all those years ‘I miss my dad.’”

He still doesn’t, although he grieves for his father’s absence in his life. But now he knows his father’s name (Leslie Ronald), and were he was buried, and he tries to comprehend how painful his life must of been in order to see no end to the suffering except death; something he learned from Ian Curtis.

Chamber celebrates Citizen of the Year

Ken Bridge honoured — and roasted — at gala evening Friday; New Chamber executive sworn in Barry Coulter

Friends, family and associates of Kenny Bridge packed into the Heritage Inn Ballroom to celebrate the awarding of Cranbrook’s Citizen of the Year to Kenny Bridge Friday, Jan. 24.

Since 1973, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce has been awarding Citizen of the Year to residents who have “contributed to the fabric that makes this community special,” as Master of Ceremonies Loree Duczek said.

Bridge, who was named in December, is best known in the community for his successful business, Bridge Interiors. However, it was his contribution to local charity events that earned Bridge the 2013 honours.

Several letters of nomination were read out to the packed audience. Then Rob Martin, Past President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 24 Cranbrook, spoke of Bridge’s unfailing generosity in aid of the Legion when it was needed. Bridge’s friend Bob Cartier, owner of local A&W franchises, gave a toast to Bridge, hoping that “we all could follow Bridge’s example” of community support.

And Tom White, who coaches with the Cranbrook Eagle’s Boxing Club, and Steve Mercandelli with Cranbrook Dodge, got to the podium to talk about Bridge’s remarkable boxing skills — or remarkable lack to them, rather. Mercandelli and Bridge had taken part in a charity boxing match (which Mercandelli won) in November, 2013, which raised more than $23,000 for the community — split between more than a dozen local causes.

Much of the celebration took the form of a roast — indeed, Derek

Kortshaga of the Jim Pattison Broadcast group, and D’arcy Kennedy teamed up to share a few laughs — including snippets from some of Bridge’s notorious radio commercials, a riff on Dean Martin’s Celebrity Roast (Red Buttons’ “Never Got A Dinner” routine), and a “Ken Bridge, this is your life!” segment.

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski and attending members of City Council presented Ken and his wife Karen with a sculpted handcrafted doorknocker from Fort Steele, adorned with the BC dogwood flower — “as someone who will do anything for this community, and that’s why the community is giving back to you.” Stetski said.

Jason Wheeldon, last year’s Citizen of the Year, officially passed the award over to Bridge.

Bridge himself gave a gracious speech, thanking his wife Karen, his family, and his team at Bridge Interiors. He made an especial point of thanking “all the people who support us — which is the reason we can give back to the community.”

The first portion of the evening was taken up with the swearing in of the new Chamber of Commerce executive.

Past President Mike Adams officially passed the gavel to new President David Butler, and Mayor Stetski swore in the new executive. They are: Dave Butler, President; David Struthers, 1st Vice President; Avana Gjendem, 2nd Vice President; Jeanette Sissons, Treasurer); and Directors Chris Thom, Brenna Baker, Mike Matejka, Diane Baher, Russell Workun, Ted Lauritsen, Brian Rhodes, Lana Kirk and Ryan Gibbard.

Expecting big changes? Think again MICHAEL DEN TANDT

With MPs back in the House Monday, here is a thumbnail guide to what we can expect from the Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats in the days and weeks ahead. Top-line hint: steady as she goes.

Stephen Harper’s call to humility The prime minister and his party were rocked hard last year by the Senate expense scandal. In response, the Prime Minister’s Office doubled down on its attack strategies. Harper’s relationship with the media, never good, grew worse. Ontario MP Paul Calandra, chippy to a fault, became the new face of the government in the House of Commons. Through the latter half of last year the Tories steadily lost ground in the polls and Harper’s personal popularity tanked.

There is a view that the PM could do himself much good by engaging more freely with the media and striking a more humble tone this year. There was rumbling in the Tory caucus last fall that the PMO needed to be less controlling, less rabidly partisan and more amenable to the aspirations of backbench Conservative MPs. And, we can all agree, Harper should bench the charmless Calandra.

What he’s likely to do instead: All indications are that Harper’s not about to change – and that the more pundits insist he must, the less likely he is to do so. His new video series, 24-Seven, is clearly intended to soften and humanize his image, as are the repeat musical performances. We can expect controlled engagement – speeches or Q&A sessions, and possibly a more matter-of-fact tone from MPs in the House. But the closer, as always, will be a calculated appeal to the financial interests of the middle class. This will be a year in which the Tories try to avoid giving

egregious offense multiple times, while they line up a small budget surplus and the goodies, such as income-splitting, that will flow from it. That’s their charm offensive.

Thomas Mulcair’s lunge for the centre Public opinion polls, including one this month by Abacus Research, show that Mulcair personally has been well received by Canadians. As he has grown more relaxed in the Opposition leader’s role, it’s fair to say he’s become the dominant personality in the House. On a good Mulcair day, the Tories could do little but duck for cover.

His problem, as reflected in the byelections last November, is that a plurality of Canadians, especially in Ontario and parts westward, don’t believe his party can mind the store. Mulcair, a former Quebec provincial Liberal, could change this by shoving his party gently but firmly towards the pragmatic middle, especially as regards energy. Specifically, he could embrace the Alberta oilpatch and become its enthusiastic partner in seeking environmentally sustainable growth, rather than its ideological adversary.

What he’s likely to do instead: Mulcair puts on a friendly face but has shown himself to be as dogged as, yes, Harper himself, in ignoring pundits’ wagging fingers. A significant group within his party opposes pipeline development outright and believes public opinion is turning against it. There’s also a view that his strength on the Senate file makes him the obvious alternative to Harper, and that his ferocity as a debater is a trump card to be played in the 2015 campaign. Consequently, there’s no sense of crisis within the NDP. They like where they are, well ahead of where they’ve ever been before between campaigns, and will continue playing the long game.

Justin Trudeau’s excellent policy adventure Trudeau is coming off the best year of any politician in Canada in recent memory.

Nearly 60 per cent of those surveyed by Abacus this month said they think he has has “good ideas for the future of the country.” More than half, including 27 per cent of declared Conservatives, said they think he has “sound judgment.” Nevertheless, Trudeau has faced persistent criticism from his rivals, and from media pundits, that’s he’s all hat, no cattle. Trudeau could offset this, and his occasional bouts of footin-mouth, by giving a few detailed speeches on the economy, in which he persuasively explains why Canada’s middle class is in trouble, then persuasively explains what he plans to do about it.

What he’s likely to do instead: Since before he became Liberal leader Trudeau’s strategy has been to offer a broad direction in policy areas that have symbolic heft, such as supporting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, legalizing pot or opposing Quebec’s proposed values charter, but avoid going into granular detail, particularly on his core issue of income inequality and the middle class.

The official reason is that the policy must be generated from the ground up. The practical reason is that income inequality is an extraordinarily tricky thing to tackle, in a tax-averse society, and the Liberals haven’t quite got it figured out. Moreover, they’re leery of policy theft of the kind they perpetrated on Reform and the Canadian Alliance in the 1990s. Trudeau’s lead places zero pressure on him to change tack, for now. Therefore, he won’t.

What’s Up?

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

UPCOMING

Submitted

Cranbrook and District Arts Council would like to introduce Marisa Phillips, pictured here with her her painting “Mama’s Blues,” as their new administrator. Helen Duckworth, CDAC’s previous administrator, has transferred with her husband to Vancouver.

CDAC feels very fortunate to have Marisa on board. Some of Marisa’s own paintings are currently on display in the gallery and she will be sure to welcome you at our current and upcoming exhibits as well as upcoming workshops.

Letters to the Editor Family Doctor

I received shocking news via our local newspaper and radio as well as CBC AM this morning, advising all patients of Dr. Macdonald to contact The College of Physicians & Surgeons as our access to medical treatment at the F.W.Green Medical Centre in Cranbrook,B.C. will be denied as of March 1/14. “… As of March 1st 2014 you will no longer have access to medical treatment at the F.W. Green Medical Centre” (Lorraine Alderson, Administrator Jan.14, 2014).

A “permanent physician has not yet been recruited” to fill Dr. Macdonald’s vacancy since July of 2013. There are many patients — young, old and disabled — as well as those confined to senior’s housing who will be affected immediately. One solution mentioned is “...

We would encourage you to go to the College of Physicians & Surgeons of B.C. website for up-to-date information in connection with family physicians accepting new patients in Cranbrook”.

I phoned the College immediately upon receiving this letter, Jan. 23, 2014. I was told over the phone that there were NO NEW physicians nor were there ANY EXISTING doctors accepting NEW patients in Cranbrook, let alone the East Kootenay. The response to this from the Green Clinic: “Go to Emergency.”

This is totally absurd. The emergency wards are taxed to the limit and this is the response I get. This is inadequate health care. I quote from the Minister of Health, Terry Lake, June 14, 2013: “Government is taking action to build on B.C.’s already-strong health system with innovative strategies that will create better outcomes for patients while ensuring the best possible value for money. We will continue to provide British Columbians access to high quality care and support across the spectrum of health care needs.”

I have been a patient at the F.W. Green Medical Centre for over 40 years.

There are patients who have been there longer than I have. All of Dr. Macdonald’s patients are being denied their

right to speedy medical treatment.

I quote again,from the Minister of Health, June 14, 2013: “The Ministry of Health (the Ministry) has overall responsibility for ensuring that quality, appropriate, cost effective and timely health services are available for all British Columbians.”

We, who live here in “British Columbia — the best place on Earth” — are being harshly penalized for an intolerable health care situation, not brought about by our doing. I urge all citizens of B.C. to contact their MLAs about this deplorable situation. This could and probably will happen to others.

Glen Todd Wardner, B.C.

Animal dumping

I would like to write an open letter to those folks that think it is okay to dump an animal off in our rural areas in hopes that it will find a home on an acreage.

I had this happen to me. A young, male, unneutered, well fed black cat was dropped in the Silver Spring Drive area.

He was very friendly and loved nothing more than to be with people. Unfortunately I have three indoor cats and one outdoor cat and he didn’t get along with any of them.

I tried privately to find a home for him, checked with the Humane Society daily, called vet clinics and posted him to Facebook.

Finally as a last resort I surrendered him to the BCSPCA. I went to visit him various times over the next little while and the last time I went in, I found out he had been euthanized. I won’t go into the reasons, but I want his people to know that his last moments were surrounded by strangers.

Please, please do not just dump your animals … find a behaviourist or a trainer to give you a hand if there is a problem. If there isn’t a problem and you can’t keep an animal, please bring it to the BC SPCA or post on Facebook. There are plenty of people looking for animals.

Maybe yours would fit better into some-

one else’s household, but please for the sake of your animal, do not just dump him or her and hope for the best. It rarely happens.

Flavoured smokes

Chocolate, cherry, peach, mint and vanilla. Treat or trick? Though they may sound like treats, these are flavours of tobacco we want to see removed from the shelves in 2014. In honor of Canada’s National Non-Smoking Week, it’s time we say goodbye to the brightly packaged, highly addictive, candy-coated carcinogens.

We know youth are the biggest users of flavoured tobacco, but what may be surprising is that youth are also the biggest supporters of a provincial ban. Recent polling reveals 81 per cent of BC teens ages 15-18 agree the BC provincial government should adopt legislation to ban all tobacco products with fruit and candy flavours. An additional 74 per cent of BC adults (18 years and over) also support a ban on flavoured products.

Flavoured tobacco products carry the same health risks and are just as addictive as regular tobacco products, though their candy-like packaging suggests otherwise. What’s worse is that fruit, candy and menthol-flavoured products reduce the harsh experience of cigarette smoke, making it easier for youth who are experimenting with smoking to become addicted to tobacco.

Tobacco-use claims the lives of more than 6,000 British Columbians each year and it’s completely preventable. It’s time for a change. Help stop smoking before it starts by asking your local MLA and BC Health Minister to take action and create a provincial ban of all flavours of tobacco products.

Nitros fall 6-3 to Braves, return home to host alumni classic TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kimberley scored once in every period, but it wasn’t enough as the Dynamiters fell 6-3 to the Braves in Spokane on Friday night.

The Braves outshot the Nitros jn every period and Justin Bonanno had a pair of goals and an assist to lead Spokane to the win.

Kimberley got offence from Bryce Nielsen, Jason Richter and Brandon Becker, but the Braves were able to score five goals over the second and third periods to pick up the win.

Jeremy Mousseau was in net, turning away 39 shots in defeat, while Kimberley put 38 shots in the direction of Jon Manlow, who picked up the win for the Braves.

Despite the loss, Kimberley struck first from Nielsen, who scored just over 30 seconds into the game for a quick 1-0 lead.

However, Bonanno posted a powerplay goal 10 minutes later to even it up at 1-1 after the first

frame.

The Braves pulled ahead on another powerplay goal a few minutes into the second period, but the Nitros answered back on a man-advantage of their own, with Richter notching his 21st goal of the season.

Hayden Boring collected Spokane’s third consecutive powerplay goal just before the halfway mark of the frame for the go-ahead goal. Dillon Bogart added an evenstrength marker with 3:51 remaining to double up on the lead.

Bonanno got his second of the game in quick fashion, scoring less than 30 seconds in the third period.

Becker responded for the Nitros late in the game on another powerplay goal, but there was

no time left to mount a comeback as Tyler Peltram added an empty netter for Spokane at the end of the contest.

The powerplay was hot for both teams; Kimberley scored twice in six chances, while Spokane drew blood on three opportunities with the man-advantage.

Despite the lows of losing, it’s safe to say everybody was having a good time on Saturday night, as the Dynamiters celebrated alumni night at the Civic Centre in Kimberley, where former players teamed mixed it up with the current edition of the team to raise money for for a local family.

Alumni such as Chad Fabro, Shane and Wayne Murray and even current assistant coaches Jeff Keiver and Todd White came out to participate in a charity game as everyone was split up into Team White and Team Blue.

And if the results matter, Team Blue won 11-7 in a high-octane scoring affair.

Streaking Ice rout Warriors

Kootenay erases early deficit to come back for a 6-2 win over Moose Jaw TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s safe to say the Ice are streaking.

Kootenay’s offence continued to light the lamp in a 6-2 win over the visiting Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday night at Western Financial Place.

The Ice have now won four in a row, which is the longest win streak of the 2013-14 campaign.

Not only are they winning, but they’ve scored at least five goals over those four games.

“It’s great,” said team captain Sam Reinhart.

“We’ve really been focusing on that consistency night in and night out.

Coming back after being away for the month [at the World Juniors], the mood is really positive and it’s nice and easy coming into that mood, so it was good to see that coming back and everyone is playing with a lot of confidence, so it’s definitely nice.”

Reinhart led the way with his fifth career hat trick, while Tim Bozon, Luke Philp and Landon Peel also scored.

Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski overcame a tough start in the first period after surrendering two goals to post 31 saves for the win.

Rinat Valiev had a

strong night with three assists, while Jagger Dirk also collected a pair of apples. Reinhart, Philp, Bozon and Jaedon Descheneau all extended their respective point streaks.

The team also raised over $9,000 as part of Jersey off the Back Night, which will go towards the Kootenay Ice education fund. Unsurprisingly, Reinhart’s jersey went the highest in the silent auction, at $1,010.

It took all but 11 seconds for Jack Rodewald to score for Moose Jaw after a turnover in Kootenay territory right off the opening face-off. Nine minutes later, Scott Cooke jumped on a loose puck outside the crease to double up and take a 2-0 lead.

“We definitely dug ourselves into a hole right away and we knew we put ourselves there,” said Dirk. “I don’t think they really earned it. The first goal was just a bad pass through the middle. “…We knew we were capable of taking ourselves out of that hole, getting pucks deep, getting pucks on net and communication was key.”

Kootenay was able to bite into the lead before the end of the period, with Reinhart finishing

on a rebound from Descheneau to make it 2-1.

With 1:37 remaining on the man-advantage to start the second period, Kootenay’s third ranked powerplay in the WHL went to work and Reinhart was rewarded with his second goal 18 seconds into the frame to tie it up.

After a point shot from Valiev pop-flied in front of the Moose Jaw net, Philp managed to get his stick on the puck and pull Kootenay ahead near the halfway mark of the period. Bozon doubled the lead a few min-

utes later to make it 4-2.

Kootenay’s offence continued to roll in the third period, with Peel picking up his third goal of the season on a shot from the point, while Reinhart redirected a crossice pass from Valiev to complete his hat trick.

The Ice currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, tied with the Red Deer Rebels at 54 points and only a five-point gap separates the team from fourth place.

Team Rice wins 22-21 over Team Sanders in new-look Pro Bowl

Jayden Roch and Madison Hudy of the Avalanche are up on the block during a match against the Camosun College Chargers during Pacwest action at the College of the Rockies this weekend.

Chargers prove to be a tough challenge for Avs Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Avalanche had a tough weekend against the Camosun College Chargers, but the ladies picked up a win, while the men were defeated in both matches during Pacwest volleyball action this weekend at the College of the Rockies.

Sporting their retro uniforms circa 2000-03 on Friday evening, the ladies earned their second win of the season by forcing a tiebreak after winning the fourth set to even it out at 2-2 apiece.

Facing a five-point deficit at 14-9, the Avs rallied back in epic fashion to win the tiebreak set and the match at 16-14.

The ladies opened strong and won the first set at 25-12, before falling 17-25 and 14-25 to Camosun. However, they

stormed back in the fourth set at 25-22 to set up the tiebreak.

The Chargers came hard out of the gate on Saturday, winning the first set 25-12. The Avs put up a better fight during the rest of the match, but surrendered the next two sets at 25-20.

The men had a frustrating weekend, losing in five sets on Friday before falling in four sets on Saturday.

Friday’s match featured the set of the weekend, after the Avs, down in a 2-1 set hole, won the fourth at 37-35 to force the tiebreak.

“That was an energy-drainer,” said Avs left side Zach Fedechko. “It was a booster and an energy drainer at the same time.

You can definitely feel it—we felt it in the fifth set. “...It was a good win for the set, but we should’ve beat that team in three yesterday [Friday]. That should never have happened.”

Despite a big rally from the Avs to force the fifth set, the Chargers were able to come out on top and win 15-11.

The Avs barely lost out on the first set at 25-22, but came

back to win the second at 25-19.

The Chargers recovered to win the third set at 26-24 before the Avs won the marathon fourth set to head into the tiebreak.

The two teams met again on Saturday, and while the Avs took the first set at 25-18, the Chargers came back to win three in a row at 25-22, 27-25 and 25-23.

“Today [Saturday], both teams played well, I think they played some pretty flawless volleyball for most of it,” added Fedechko. “So did we, but they just got the jump on us and that’s just how it goes, I guess. It could’ve gone either way today.”

Both teams will play host for the fourth straight time next weekend when they host the visiting Vancouver Island University Mariners.

HONOLULU - Jerry Rice has fresh bragging rights on Deion Sanders nearly a decade after both players retired from the NFL. Dallas running back DeMarco Murray caught a 20-yard touchdown pass with 41 seconds left and Carolina running back Mike Tolbert plunged into the end zone for a 2-point conversion to give Rice a 22-21 win over Sanders in the first schoolyard-style Pro Bowl on Sunday.

“They called my number the whole way,” Tolbert said on the field after the game. “Philip (Rivers) told them to give it to me. My old teammate, he told them to give it to me.”

Baltimore’s Justin Tucker missed a 67-yard field goal on the game’s final play after missing a 66-yarder earlier in the game.

The touchdown and conversion gave Rice a comeback after Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles threw a 12-yard touchdown to Cleveland tight end Jordan Cameron with less than 5 minutes to play to give Sanders a 21-14 lead.

The touchdowns by Cameron and Murray were the only scores of the second half in a game that had eight turnovers - including six interceptions - and nine sacks.

“It’s the right time to really get on a roll and touch base on the confidence again,” said Reinhart. “We’re all happy with where we’re at. We’re still trying to work everyday and get better and that’s the focus right now, but definitely playing with some confidence and that’s how we should be.”

The Ice have a mid-week game against the Tigers in Medicine Hat, before hosting Prince Albert and Calgary next weekend.

The 28-year-old Wawrinka had never taken a set off Nadal in 12 previous meetings, but attacked from the start against the 13-time major winner and regained his nerve after dropping the third set against the injured Spaniard.

Nadal appeared to be on the verge of retiring in the second set, when he hurt his back and needed a medical time out, but he refused to quit.

Once again Li Na had the Rod Laver Arena crowd on its feet, roaring - this time with laughter.

Her encore to a 7-6 (3), 6-0 win over Dominika Cibulkova in the Australian Open title match Saturday night made her even more popular at Melbourne Park, where she’d lost two finals in the previous three years.

Li, who will turn 32 next month, is the oldest women’s champion in Australia in the Open era.

She didn’t see age as a barrier, obviously, replying to a question on the topic with a smile and an opinion: “I’m not old!”

Li lost Australian Open finals to Kim Clijsters in 2011 and to Victoria Azarenka last year, when she twisted her ankle twice in the second and third sets and needed a medical time out after hitting her head on the court.

Ukraine protests turning v iolent “The protest mood in Ukraine is at a higher temperature than ever before,” said Vitali Klitschko, the de facto leader of the anti-government protests that have filled central Kiev for the past two months, in an interview with the Guardian last week. “We only need a small spark for the situation to develop in a way that will be completely out of control for the authorities.”

It’s make-or-break time, because on Wednesday a raft of new laws came into effect that make almost everything the protesters have been doing illegal. The laws, which were rushed through the Ukrainian parliament on a show of

hands, ban helmets, hard hats and masks at rallies, and impose fines and prison sentences for setting up unauthorised tents, stages or sound systems in public places.

They prescribe jail terms for anybody blockading public buildings, and make it a crime to “slander” public officials (whatever that means).

You can also go to jail for handing out pamphlets, and you can get 15 years for being part of a “mass riot” (however the government chooses to define that).

If President Viktor Yanukovych’s government tries to enforce these laws on the tent city of protesters that has filled the “Maidan” (Indepen-

dence Square) since late November, there will be something like civil war in the heart of the Ukrainian capital. He hasn’t done so yet, but mobile phone users near the violent clashes early Tuesday morning got text messages saying: “Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass riot.”

Yanukovych is getting desperate, because the protests are no longer just against his abrupt decision not to sign a treaty creating closer trade and political ties between Ukraine and the European Union, and to turn to Russia instead for loans ($15 billion) and discounted gas.

Gwynne Dyer The protests have expanded to take in the dire state of the economy, Yanukovych’s ruthless political tactics, and the sudden wealth of the “Family” of officials and businessmen who support him.

So long as the conflict was about the EU-orRussia issue, Yanukovych could count on the backing of the Russian-speaking half of the

Ukrainian population, in the south and the heavily industrialised east of the country: many people there fear for their jobs if the Ukrainian economy integrates with the EU. But the poverty and the corruption hurt everybody, whether they speak Ukrainian or Russian. Everybody can get together and protest about that.

Another worry for Yanukovych is the attitude of the oligarchs, the billionaire businessmen like Rinat Ahmetov, Viktor Pinchuk and Igor Kolomoisky who control a large share of the Ukrainian economy.

They have not been politically neutered like the oligarchs in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and it’s striking that the televisions stations they own have

been covering the demonstrations quite objectively.

The ultimate loyalty of the oligarchs is to their money, of course, but they seem to believe that in the long run their money is safer in EU countries, or at least in a Ukraine that conforms to EU legal standards. So they are not ecstatic about Yaukovych’s decision to turn away from the EU, and they are quite capable of turning away from him. Indeed, that’s exactly what they did during the Orange Revolution of 2004, and they could do it again.

So Yanukovych’s back is to the wall, and he has apparently decided that it’s worth gambling that he can clear the streets by force without triggering a confrontation that

P U B L I C H E A R I NG N O T I C E Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3789, 2014”.

Proposed amendments will be added to several sections of “City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012”. The purpose of the zoning amendment is to establish Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO) as a permitted use in the M-2 - Light Industrial Zone and to establish regulations for MMGO use and development where permitted in the City, in anticipation of new Federal regulations concerning the licensing of MMGOs. The proposed amendment will: • add Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO) as a permitted use to the M-2 Light Industrial Zone; • add new definitions for Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO), Cultivation, and Greenhouse Building; • establish regulations for the use and development of MMGOs. New regulations for MMGOs will include the following: • proposed MMGOs must meet all Federal, Provincial, and Municipal regulations, and notify local RCMP and Fire Services in writing of a license application; • MMGO operations must be fully contained within an enclosed building, which excludes a greenhouse building, and which does not include a non-MMGO use; • a 100 metre minimum setback for MMGOs in the M-2 Zone from a residential zone, group day care, playground, school, or park use; • a minimum 2.0 hectare parcel size and a 40 metre setback from property lines for MMGOs on lands designated Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) or for a permitted “farm use”; • an applicant to provide details of proposed discharges to air, sanitary and storm sewer, including plans and details of the ventilation/filtration system for discharges to the outside.

“City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3789, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until February 3, 2014, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the City Hall Council Chamber, 40 - 10th Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on February 3, 2014.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. Municipal Clerk

spreads far beyond the Maidan. And it will have to be done by force, because the protesters will not just fold their tents and creep off home.

The sudden lurch into violence on the streets on Sunday and Monday nights occurred in this context. The several hundred young men who attacked the riot police with pipes, chains and fire-bombs were originally thought to be “provocateurs” hired by the government to give it a justification for using violence on the mass of peaceful protesters, but lots of them were not.

The core group of fighters were members of a radical ultra-nationalist group called Right Sector that is both anti-Russian and anti-EU. It includes both Russian and Ukrainian speakers, and imagines it can use the current crisis to “destroy the skeleton state” and build a new state on the ruins. Things are indeed spinning out of control.

When Vitali Klitschko arrived on the scene to beg them to remain non-violent, he was attacked with a fire extinguisher – and thousands of ordinary protesters showed up to cheer the young thugs as they attacked the police. There is a serious potential for mass violence here, and that could lead to even worse things.

Viktor Yanukovych, for all his faults, is the legitimately elected president of Ukraine, and he has a majority in parliament. What if, facing overthrow in the streets, he called for “fraternal aid” from Russia to defend democracy in Ukraine?

What if the Russians, who are already claiming that it’s a Western plot – “We have information that much of this is being stimulated from abroad,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday – agree to send him police and military help?

It sounds far-fetched and it would be extremely stupid, but everybody is busily painting themselves into corners and there is a small but real possibility that it could happen. In which case, welcome to the Second Cold War.

Alex...

hails from Kimberley and has been stylin’ for over four years now. She has recently returned from a busy salon in Calgary. She looks forward to meeting you and creating the right cut for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A friend or associate expresses his or her high energy, which matches your enthusiasm. A meeting allows an even broader perspective to be gained.

Express your appreciation to an older friend or relative who goes to bat for you. Tonight: Say “yes.”

There is no room for “no.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The mix of drive, energy and endurance that you manifest will be hard to beat. As a result of your performance, you will establish a newfound rapport with a supervisor. A conversation lets you know how appreciated you are. Tonight: Make it cozy, even if it is Monday.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Consider taking a new route or a different approach. You are so determined to get where you want to go that you barely can hear anyone else. Slow down, and you’ll get powerful feedback. Be grateful for others’ persistence. Tonight: Hang with a carefree friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to try to evolve to a new level of understanding, especially as you sense a roommate’s or close friend’s anxiety rising. Others will offer many suggestions, but one person demonstrates a better understanding of the dynamics.

Listen well. Tonight: Show compassion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could be surprised by what comes down your path.

You tend to work well with unexpected occurrences. Think before you leap, as returning to where you were could be close to impossible. Pace yourself.

Tonight: Slow down a little.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of your limits, especially regarding a difficult situation. Use your instincts with a domestic or personal matter involving your house. Your finances appear to be an issue.

Don’t worry -- you will find a creative solution. Tonight: Add in more fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have been more direct

Tundra

and far more feisty than usual.

Notice how heated someone else becomes when he or she interacts with you. You might not realize how feisty you can be, but look at the reactions of those around you, and you’ll get it. Tonight: Mosey on home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of your finances. You could be swallowing some anger and choose to deal with it by spending money. Slow down, and make an assessment. Learn a more effective way of expressing your more difficult feelings.

Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you feel pushed, you might be more than happy to go along with a change of pace. You might want to lighten up the moment. Return calls before settling on plans. Be aware of how possessive someone is before getting into a partnership with him or her. Tonight: Your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Understand what is going on around you. Listen to your inner

voice when dealing with a boss.

Much that happens during the daytime might not be to your liking. Given space, you might recognize that it is all for the better. Tonight: Whatever appeals to you the most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on friends and your objectives. You will see that your inner circle supports your longterm desires. Be more open in sharing what you desire.

Communication will flourish, and you’ll feel unstoppable as a result. Tonight: Not to be found.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Responsibilities drop on you, whether you like it or not. Let a friend or loved one help you.

There is no reason for you to carry the weight of this situation alone. Tonight: Find your friends. You simply will not be happy alone.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A year ago, I found out that my husband had been cheating on me at his brother’s house. He was having an affair with “Charlie’s” wife’s sister. My husband cheated more than 30 years ago with a friend of Charlie’s, and we divorced over it. We got back together two years later.

I have forgiven my husband for his most recent affair, and we renewed our wedding vows six months ago, but I cannot forgive his brother. Over the years, Charlie has tried his best to split us up. I no longer allow my husband to visit Charlie unless I am with him.

Dealing with this relationship causes me severe headaches, and I’ve lost 50 pounds. My doctor says the stress is killing me.

I know Charlie will continue trying to break up my marriage. What should I do to stop this nightmare? -- Brokenhearted in Indiana Dear Brokenhearted: Charlie may have encouraged the cheating, but your husband had to cooperate. This is now your husband’s responsibility. He needs to tell his brother to knock it off, that he isn’t interested in having an affair, and that if Charlie tries to break up his marriage, the relationship is over. Charlie has to understand that there are consequences to interfering in your lives, but his brother is the one who must make it stick.

Dear Annie: We have a friend who asks for help almost every day with repairs, assistance with his computer, a ride (he never offers to pay for gas) and on and on. This man is 75 years old, doesn’t do much, lives alone and probably needs the companionship.

My husband is a kind man and would never say no. Please advise people to have some consideration for their neighbors and do things for themselves so they don’t intrude.

My husband and I enjoy our time together, and too often, this “friend” stops by needing something. -- No Private Time Dear Private: The man is 75 and lives alone.

Perhaps he is not capable of doing for himself those things he asks of you. And he seems lonely. We know that stopping by too often is a nuisance, but we’re going to ask you to think about this differently.

Welcome him as an act of kindness, instead of resenting the time he takes from you. Introduce him to others in your neighborhood so they, too, can keep him company. Set a few boundaries: It’s OK to tell him you are busy when he drops in unexpectedly, and to ask him to fill the tank once in a while, provided he can afford it. Schedule one day a week for him, letting him know you are available only on that day. If you and your husband stick to that schedule, he will eventually adapt, and you will feel less resentful.

Dear Annie: I had to write after reading the letter from “Joining the Letting Go Club,” whose adult children have cut them out of their lives.

I worked in a long-term care facility for 10 years. I’ve seen adult children drive up to the door, unload the parent and take off -- forever. I saw an adult son berate his mother until she signed a power of attorney. He then pillaged all of her assets and refused to spend any money on her care or provide documentation so she could qualify for Medicaid. One Christmas, a son and daughter-in-law came for their annual visit and brought gifts, but took them home because Mom was asleep.

They said she wouldn’t know the difference.

Usually the parental rejection involves money. Sometimes, the kids know they are not in the will, or the parents refused to appoint one of them power of attorney. Sometimes, the parents have gifted their children so much that they have nothing left.

Your advice to this couple was solid. Enjoy each other and fill it with people who expect nothing in return except friendship. -- Know in New York Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Daisy Charlotte Gunson (nee Ward) 1924 - 2014 We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved mother Daisy Gunson. She passed away peacefully at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with her family at her side, just shy of her 90th birthday on Sunday, January 19, 2014.

Daisy was born to Frederick George Ward and Rosie Maria Ward (nee Wells) on their family farmstead on May 24, 1924, 8 miles out of Bangor Saskatchewan. She was the 6th of 7 children, having 5 sisters and 1 brother. In her early years the family moved north to the Okla area where she was raised until she joined the RCAF in 1943 to serve in WWII until after the war ended in 1946.

After the war Daisy took an education opportunity from Veterans affairs and became an RN. It was there she met and later married her late husband William Edwin Gunson in 1952. They moved to Cranbrook in 1956 and they bought the house on 9th in 1957 where she resided until her passing.

Daisy worked at both the old St. Eugene Hospital and the old Cranbrook Regional Hospital until her retirement in 1978. She was very civic minded and obtained life memberships with The Royal Canadian Legion LA, The United Church Women, The Seniors Branch #11 and The Hospital Auxiliary. She devoted her life to doing things for others.

Upon retirement Daisy kept busy with the church and other organizations participating in many catering and fundraising activities. She worked regularly in both the Thrift Shop and The Cellar and spent leisure time at home knitting, crocheting and sewing and gardening, camping and travelling with the Good Sams and dancing with the Belles and Beaus Square dance club. In later years Daisy tried her hand at painting with the Seniors Art Club and enjoyed volunteering at the south side tourist booth. Daisy was kind and caring and she held on to her sense of humour until the very end.

Daisy was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband Ed, her sisters Ellen, Bessie, Lavinia, May, Nancy, brother Fred, infant daughter Charlotte Ellen and her grandson Neil Burr. She leaves to mourn her daughter Linda Haley of Cranbrook, 3 sons Ward (Leata) of Grande Prairie, Lionel (Carla) of Port Hardy and Malcolm (Darla) of High Level, stepdaughter Laurel Fenty, 13 grandchildren and as many great grandchildren - at last count.

A memorial service for Daisy will be held at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, January 28th, 2014 at the Cranbrook United Church. Her Internment will follow at Westlawn Cemetery. A reception at the Seniors Hall will follow the Interment. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/ Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9 or the: Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 2L9 or the: Hospital Auxiliary, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9.

Fatal fish virus infects Kokanee near Kootenay Lake

C a n a d ia n Press

NELSON, B.C. — A fatal fish virus has infected 80 per cent of Kokanee salmon breeding in a spawning channel near Kootenay Lake east of Nelson.

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, or IHNv, was found in a routine check of fish coming from Meadow Creek last fall and it appears to be isolated to Kootenay Lake.

IHNv usually affects Pacific Coast salmon, trout and sturgeon.

Fisheries biologist Jeff Burrows with the Ministry of Forest Lands and Resource Operations said the virus appears to be spread by contact with other infected fish or feces but not from parent to offspring.

The outbreak could also be affecting the Gerrard rainbow trout,

which feed solely on Kokanee. ``This is a food web dynamic,’’ said Burrows. ``The Gerrard may have eaten themselves out of house and home.’’ ``The fish are skinny,’’ said Kerry Reed with Reel Adventure Charters. ``Basically they don’t have enough food. We’re not getting the big fish at 18 to 24 pounds that we used to get. This year a big fish

was 13 to 15 pounds.’’

So far there is no explanation as to why the virus showed up at Meadow Creek, and it’s believed to have been recently introduced since it has not shown up before, Burrows said.

The ministry is trying to stop the spread of the virus by draining channels as drying kills the germs, flushing the channels with more water to clean the gravel

and removing any carcasses, he said.

The first reported cases of an IHNv epidemic occurred in the United States at the Washington and Oregon

fish hatcheries during the 1950s.

The illness does not affect humans or other mammals feeding on the fish.
