A member of the 1813 Cranbrook Cadet Corps - Lord Strathcona’s Horse lays a wreath on behalf of three representatives of the Canadian Forces — Sergeant Rick Lowe, Colonel Joe Kotlarz and Major Leah Byrne — who were presenting the wreath in honour of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who earlier this fall were killed in attacks in Ottawa and near Montreal, respectively. Remembrance Day ceremonies in Cranbrook were held at the Cenotaph in Rotary Park under a clear sky and in crisp temperatures, which did not stop the usual large crowds attending. Larry Warren served as Master of Ceremonies. Clive Brown, President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 24 Cranbrook gave the address and memorial charge, and Padre Fraser Coltman the prayer. Trumpeter Murray Knipfel performed “The Last Post,” and piper Dan McKinnon the lament. Music was provided by the Mount Baker Secondary School band under the direction of Evan Bueckert, and the Cranbrook Grade 5 Mass Choir under the direction of Larry Dureski.

Assistance coming for residents affected by apartment fire FO R THE TOWNS MAN

A number of local social service organizations have been busy over the weekend working to help some 15 residents displaced temporarily due to last Thursday’s apartment fire on 1st Street South in Cranbrook.

The Restoration Company is

working diligently on decontaminating the apartment building and cleaning the smoke damaged belongings of the residents, which is expected to take another week or more to complete.

Cranbrook Women’s Centre sees some uptick in support ARNE PE TRYSHEN

The Cranbrook Women’s Centre is seeing a small uptake in community awareness since it sent a letter to council back in October asking for support. At that time, council agreed on a $300 grant to the centre for food.

Denise Stewart, coordinator

for the Women’s Centre said in a letter to council that came up in the Nov. 5 meeting, that after reading an article on the topic that appeared in the Townsman she wanted to clear some things up about what the centre offers.

“The Centre is a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, drop-

Temperatures dip after brief snowfall Tre vor Cr awley

Now is the winter of our discontent.

If you haven’t noticed, Cranbrook was blanketed with it’s first snowfall as the season transitions from autumn to winter, with six centimetres of the white stuff coming down in a Sunday evening flurry.

It’s somewhat close to last year’s opening snowfall, which was a record-breaker for November’s first dump of the year at eight centimetres.

Despite the first appearance of snow, any more flurries aren’t in the immediate forecast.

Temperatures are going to drop, while remaining sunny of the next few days, according to Doug Lundquist, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

“It comes with the arctic front and we’re not expecting it to warm up in the Cranbrook area till perhaps midnext week,” Lundquist said. “It’s definitely going to be sunny and cold now for a while coming up.”

Winter eventually comes, but what surprised Lundquist is how quickly the temperatures transitioned from being one of the warmest Octobers on record to a forecast that includes lows in the double-digits.

“What was atypical was how warm it was in October and the beginning of November. Incredibly warm, I think you came out in the topthree for the warmest-ever October,” Lundquist said.

“So what I think the big deal is, is the switch.

This kind of weather we’re going to get here over the next few days is normal for this time of year, an average for temperature, but very normal for this time of year.

“What is unusual is how warm it was and how quick the switch is coming and came. I think that’s the big deal.”

Public Works crews are well aware of the new winter conditions, and have been working on clearing, salting and sanding city streets.

However, there is also an onus on residents and businesses to do their part to keep side-

walks clear of ice and snow.

“Regularly clearing ice and snow from your sidewalks and driveways will allow much easier access to your property by the fire department, RCMP or paramedics should an accident or other emergencies happen,” said Wayne Price, director of Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services.

During and following major snowstorms,

Public Works snow removal operations run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a fleet of vehicles that includes four salt/sand trucks with belly plows, two graders and two loaders.

“With this schedule and the equipment we have, it is reasonable to expect most areas of the city to be cleared within three or four days of a snowfall, depending on the amount of snow and how fast it comes down,”

said Joe McGowan, the director of Public Works.

Streets are plower according to their priority status, which falls under four classifications, starting with high-traffic streets, transit routes and hospital zones before focusing on the downtown core and school zones. After that, resources are spread out to take care of other residential streets and low-traffic areas.

The city advises the

public to avoid parking vehicles on the street if possible during snowfalls as it interferes with clearing the streets effectively. Residents are also asked to avoid shovelling snow from their sidewalks or windrows back onto the street after city plows have driven by.

“It creates issues for our crews, as the plow will need to make an additional run down your street to clean it up,” said

McGowan. “That additional run increases city’s costs with additional staff time, fuel and equipment wear and tear, not to mention delays in getting to other areas of the city that also need to be plowed.”

Sidewalks are also cleared on a priority basis, but city crews are dedicated to clearing roads first. As personnel get freed up from plowing roads, the city usually runs one, or two if

possible, machines on sidewalks with the downtown core as the primary focus.

It’s also important to note that Rotary Way is not cleared by city crews.

There are very steep and below elevation where water pools and freezes, making it difficult to keep maintained on a consistent basis, especially when Public Works would rather remain focus on city streets and sidewalks.

RDEK board members feted before election Trevor Crawley

After being lauded for his service at a recent Cranbrook City Council meeting, Bob Whetham received the same treatment at his final RDEK board meeting last Friday before the municipal election.

Whetham currently sits on council and serves as an RDEK director, but he is not running for re-election.

The board singled out Whetham and other fellow directors who are also retiring during the last RDEK board meeting before the elections on Saturday. In addition to Whetham, Dee Conklin (Village of Radium Hot Springs) and Heath Slee (Area B) also attended their final regional board meetings, as all three were honoured by their colleagues.

It’s been an journey for Whetham, who has appeared before the board as a consultant on behalf of clients, and more recently as a director. Whetham has also been employed on staff with the RDEK, where he worked in landuse planning.

His experience as a consultant presenting to the board, and then working for the RDEK gave him a good grasp of what to expect when he was tapped to serve as a director after being elected as a Cranbrook city councillor in 2011.

“You have to realize in the government, you’re serving the public at large, so if you understand from the perspective of an applicant—they have a particular thing they’d like to accomplish—you’d like to work to reach some kind of solution to whatever it is,” said Whetham.

“So having been on both sides of

that equation, I think it’s helped a lot.

And being on staff, of course, you’re fulfilling much of the same role too.

“You have to understand both the position that government has from a regulatory body, which sometimes isn’t very popular, but then also from the point of view of the applicant, and you have to lead the applicant towards a conclusion that’s an acceptable one.”

There have been many issues Whetham has worked on while on staff and as a member of the board of directors, but it was a project up in the Columbia Valley that sticks out in his career.

He was working on an Official Community Plan (OCP) that involved a few hundred properties on the Foreshore area east of Lake Windermere in the late 1990s.

“We had a lot of encroachments, illegal boathouses, retaining walls, one thing or another. Some of these were removed, some were legalized where it was possible, and at the end of this whole process, which involved several hundred properties, I think I wound up with three letters,” Whetham said. “….It was just one of those interdisciplinary things that you get in planning, but that’s what makes it so interesting. You really never know what’s going to come up or turn up on Monday morning.”

Also honoured during Friday’s board meeting was John Kettle, the chair of the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the chair of the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District, who is retiring after serving four terms.

Notice of Intent

Proposed Closure on Neame Street Notice is given pursuant to Section 60(2) of the Transportation Act that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has received an application to permanently close a portion of Neame Street adjacent to 9230 Neame Street, Parcel C (KM87617) Block 17, NEP 666, DL 227, and 9261 Neame Street, Parcel A (See XJ35698) Block 15, NEP 666, DL227, in Elko, B.C., and that such closed road be vested pursuant to Section 60(2) of the Transportation Act. The right-of-way proposed for closure is an unused portion of the road adjacent to the applicants’ properties.

The plan showing the proposed road closure can be viewed from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Cranbrook District office at the address below.

Any persons wanting to provide comments of support or objection to this application for road closure should do so in writing no later than December 4, 2014, to the following ministry contact:

Community steps in to help those affected by apartment fire Continued from page 1 The goal is to have the residents returned to the building as soon as possible. As such the Emergency Social Services (ESS), Salvation Army, Ktunaxa Nation Street Angels and the Canadian Red Cross are working together to place those affected residents in temporary lodging and provide for

their basic needs during this time.

The City of Cranbrook wishes to thank the Salvation Army, Emergency Social Services (ESS), the Ktunaxa Nation Street Angels and the Canadian Red Cross for all their organization and efforts in assisting those residents affected find places to

stay and help to get them back on their feet.

A very special thank you also goes to the Heritage Inn and its staff for opening their doors to those displaced residents. At this time, no material or financial donations are needed.

Local emergency crews responded to a fire in a basement suite at a building located at

1504 1st Street South last Thursday evening.

Up to 21 members and two fire apparatus were on-scene and quickly contained the fire to just the lone basement suite of origin, which had potential to spread to the 15-unit apartment complex.

There were no injuries to the tenants or fire fighters.

Restaurant is helping with a weekly food donation, another community member is organizing a Community Food Challenge, and concerned citizens are asking how they can help.”

Back at the meeting Coun. Sharon Cross asked what can be done for those going hungry in the city, as well as for the children living in different stages of starvation.

Stewart said people can help by becoming involved in the Community Initiative Poverty Reduction Plan, the Food Action Committee and donating to the various organizations throughout the year. She also mentions the Community Food Challenge that was on Nov. 3.

Stewart said the centre is also aware of the

other food resources in the community and refer clients to all available resources, which include the churches, Street Angels, the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Food Bank.

She said they also have formed partnerships with the organizations.

Unfortunately, Stewart said women can’t always access those services due to things like lack of transportation and the food bank can only be accessed once a month.

Stewart thanks council for the $300 donation for food.

“We understand this was onetime funding, and will take the city’s suggestion to apply for the grant-in-aid in the future,” she said.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Blinding me with Science

I was inspired by the editorial piece by Tom Fletcher (Nov 4, “Hot Gases Spew from Legislature”). Mr Fletcher, unofficial Mouthpiece for the BC Liberals and otherwise TOTALLY unbiased investigative reporter posited that he is a skeptic with regards to the Climate Change science. My guess is that like me, he was tempted to accept the overwhelming consensus (98% according to the UN) of credible scientists that climate change is happening and that humans’ greedy consumption habits are the root cause. But then our legislative ‘watchdog’ came across the testimony of the expert he turns to on this subject, Vancouver Liberal MLA Laurie Throness who denies the science. Take that … NASA, United Nations, World Health Organization, Environment Canada, … our MLA has just checked his iPad Mini and his labyrinthine atmospheric modeling does not agree with yours!

Game over?

So emboldened by this sage testimony, Mr. Fletcher has not yet made up his mind.

Well, Mr. Fletcher, you had me at ‘inconvenient’. It’s hard to worry about the future world of my grandchildren when I’ve got to come up with payments on my Hummer, speedboat, and gas-powered leaf blower in this here and now world. I don’t think these pesky environmentalists grasp the gravity of my situation.

Did someone mention “gravity”? Until recently, I’ve been fairly well convinced that gravity exists. Consensus in the scientific community is about the same as the existence of climate change. Even better but, again, not 100%. I’m sure Mr. Fletcher can find scientific experts, like Mr. Throness*, that deny gravity’s existence but I’ll help him out here. Take my friend, Slobber.

Slobber is convinced he can float. He usually makes this claim after he has smoked a couple of his ‘silly cigarettes’. Slobber* isn’t the only scientist that denies the existence of gravity. Erik Verlinde, a physicist, also denies it. Interestingly, he is a professor at the University of Amsterdam where I am told silly cigarettes are in abundance.

My point is why should Mr. Fletcher and I, or you, give in to these climate change and gravity proponents with their ‘advanced degrees’ and their ‘facts’, when only 98 or 99.9 percent of them agree? As Mr. Fletcher opined, “the jury is still out”. I think the jury Mr. Fletcher is referring to is also debating if the earth is flat. *DISCLAIMER. Although they like science, Mr. Throness and Slobber are not real scientists.

Business/residential taxation

I read in the November 4 issue of the Townsman the spin Ms. Cross puts on local taxes.

Her idea of City business property which, I believe, is held by the majority of present council illustrates exactly why we need elected representatives who will run the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook as just that — a corporation.

It is well and good to say Cranbrook is 94th out of 161, but what does that really mean? What do Cranbroo commercial properties receive for being 94/161? Garbage pickup? Cleared walks — which, by the way, are not owned by business? Reduced water and sewer rates due to lower usage? Store front parking?

Drivable streets? What does the City provide to a commercial property that is not also provided to a residential property?

Irrespective of how high the commercial tax rate is, the relief as Ms. Cross sees it is that taxes paid by a business are a “deductible expense for businesses and not for residents …”

While basically correct, she is not expansive with this explanation. Yes, taxes are deductible in that the paid amount is subtracted from the total amount and subject to corporate tax. This is federal/provincial government allowance, not the city’s.

Additionally, what Ms. Cross and some others on council, in my opinion, fail to understand is that whatever the amount, it must be earned before it can be deducted.

We must make the City equitable and affordable for all property owners and reduce the unfair difference between classifications. A dollar of property value should be taxed at the same rate no matter where the building is located. Why should a $500,000 home pay less property tax than a $250,000 commercial building.

Businesses large or small are what drive this and any community.

Mike Burnham Cranbook

Thankless tasks

I am perplexed at some statements in door-to-door pam-

phlets and letters to the editor regarding the folks running for Council seats and Mayor. Seems like everyone wants to fix roads and increase economic activity without raising taxes, or even reducing them, without saying where to cut expenses. We know this is currently impossible as the city budget and financial statement indicate little wiggle room. The Province only funds particular projects in their attempts to exert control over municipal spending. They find funds for a municipality with no people, scattering caribou over western North America and wining and dining LNG officials, but not for installing badly needed culverts.

Many necessary and frequently urgent expenditures must be covered by our property tax dollars. For example if the RCMP dictates a salary increase for their personnel it takes an unexpected chunk out of the City’s spending money.

The pressures of running for office can bring one down to a lower level where innuendos, labeling and pointing out past perceived mistakes emerge. To those intent on criticizing some of those running for office this week, I would suggest they reread the recent column by our local curmudgeon (Townsman, 3 November) and determine whether they see themselves as an exception to his statement, “Why does an apparently sane person become involved in such shenanigans? Is it an ego trip? His take on the use of statistics to back up biases is also apropos. Further, as Aaron Levenstein has stated, “Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”

It seems to me that the current Mayor and Council have done an admirable job of balancing the priorities and warding off the devil (higher taxes). I would not resent paying higher taxes to enlarge the contingency fund and maintain and improve existing infrastructure. It’s a thankless task being on Council, because the city needs to be attractive for potential new business entrepreneurs, so we have to spend to keep up appearances and keep the pipes intact to bring healthy water in (with fluoride) and waste out. To paraphrase a common proverb, “We can satisfy some of the people all the time and all of the people some the time, but not all of the people all the time.”

Deer management

In his election flyer, Mayor Wayne Stetski states he will “promote non-lethal deer management harvesting…” A harvested deer is a dead deer; Stekski is playing with words. He’s ignoring the city’s deer survey where 70 per cent were in favour of a cull, which shows his appetite for listening to the people in a democratic way.

Wayne’s dynamic vision includes ignoring the mountains of scientific evidence. Hundreds of cities in the U.S. have tried translocation, and rigorous research utilizing radio collars has caused U.S. wildlife agencies to ban relocation as too cruel. Capture myopathy cripples 40-80 per cent. Release city deer into predator country where they are unfamiliar with the roads, ravines, escape routes, and the rest are gone/sacrificed.

In the March 24, 2014 Kootenay Advertiser, Stetski states: “Translocation of mule deer and whitetail deer have never been tried in B.C.” Andrew Walker, a wildlife biologist for the B.C. government, explains why the province does not support translocation of deer: “Although the non-lethal approach to urban deer management may appeal to the public as it appears to be an easy and humane solution, in reality the translocation process can be difficult, expensive, stressful to the deer and has resulted in high post-translocation mortality rates.” (Townsman, March 6, 2014) This is not leadership on Mr. Stetski’s part. Catering to ignorance, that our deer are different from the deer in the U.S., is not what an informed citizen can vote for.

Hats off at the table!

Sometimes the aches and pains present when rising to meet the new day says it all.

However, to me, my old age is definitely confirmed when I enter a restaurant and my eyes are greeted by a fellow seated eating, quite possibly with a member of the fairer sex,while neglecting to remove his hat. Now, perhaps his head is in the same similar condition as his manners and he doesn’t wish it seen, or it is merely cold. But I do know that if, as a boy, I had come to the dinner table wearing a hat it would have suddenly been somewhere across the room whilst my face rested in the mashed potatoes.

Gorbachev is wrong: No new Cold War “The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun,” said Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union and the man who inadvertently administered a mercy killing to Communism in Europe. He’s 83 years old, he played a leading role in ending the last Cold War, and he’s practically a secular saint. Surely he knows what he’s talking about.

No he doesn’t. Not only has this new Cold War not begun already, but it’s hard to see how you could get it going even if you tried. The raw material for such an enterprise is simply unavailable. You can summon the ghosts of history all you want, but they are dead and they can’t hear you.

Gorbachev was speaking in Berlin, now once again the capital of a united Germany, on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even he would agree that it turned out to be, on balance, a Good Thing, but he is a great deal more ambivalent about the collapse of European Communism and the dismantling of the Soviet Union.

His original goal, and his hope right down to the end in 1991, was to save Communism by reforming it, not to bury it. He also believed, or at least hoped, that if he could make Communist rule “democratic” and user-friendly, he could save the Soviet Union as well. But the Soviet Union was just the old Russian empire in new clothes.

Gorbachev was and is a romantic, and he undoubtedly agrees with his rather less cuddly successor as president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, that the collapse of the Soviet Union was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” So of course he ends up defending Putin’s actions and blaming the United States and NATO for this alleged drift into a new Cold War.

It’s all nonsense. Nothing could have saved the old Soviet Union. It was the last of the European empires to fall, mainly because it was land-based rather than seabased, but only half its population was Russian. When it finally dissolved, fifteen different nations emerged from the wreckage, and its collapse was no greater a loss to civilisation than the fall of the British or French empires.

And the main reason you can’t have a new Cold War is precisely because the “evil empire” (as RonGwynne ald Reagan famously called the Soviet Union) longer Dyer exists. There is only Russia, a largely de-industrialised country that is run by a kleptocratic elite and makes its living by exporting oil and gas.

Russia has only 140 million people (less than half the United States, less than a third of the European Union), and its armies are no longer based around Berlin and all through eastern Europe. They are 750 km (500 mi.) further east, guarding Russia’s own frontiers. They occasionally grab a bit of territory that isn’t covered by a NATO guarantee (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Crimea, Luhansk, Donestk), but they dare not go any further.

So you could get a really unpleasant NATO-Russian confrontation out of this for a while (although it hasn’t happened yet), but not a real Cold War in the old globe-spanning style. Russia just couldn’t hold up its end of it. As for World War Three, don’t worry. Putin cares a lot about saving face, but not that much.

Which leaves the question: who is to blame for this regrettable hostility between Russia and the Western powers? The West, in Gorbachev’s view. In fact, he had a whole list of complaints about Western threats, crimes and betrayals.

NATO broke its promise and let all the

Eastern European countries that had been Soviet satellites during the Cold War join NATO. It let Kosovo declare its independence from Russia’s traditional friend, Serbia. It launched wars of “regime change” in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) that Moscow disapproved of. It even planned a missile defence system that allegedly threatened Russia’s nuclear deterrent (if you could believe that it would work).

Diddums. Yes, Russia has been invaded a lot in its history, but the license to be paranoid expires after fifty years. Of course the Eastern European countries all clamoured to join NATO; they’re still terrified of Russia. The Western great powers do lots of stupid stuff and some seriously bad stuff, and Russia has also done a fair amount of both in the past decade and a half under Putin.

The job of diplomats, and of leaders in particular, is to avoid the really stupid and dangerous stuff, and keep the rest to a minimum. Barack Obama has been quite good at that, as has German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Putin used to be good at it, but is not so good now, perhaps because he has been in power too long. His military interventions in Ukraine have been alarmingly rash.

But nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. The Ukrainians were told years ago that they couldn’t shelter under NATO’s security blanket, and they have chosen to defy Moscow anyway. They may pay a high price for that, and the Western alliance’s relations with Russia may go into the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin’s reign. But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event that defines an entire era.

Heartbreak city at College of the Rockies Camosun College Chargers spoil home-opening weekend for Avalanche volleyball

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It’s often said home is where the heart is.

Unfortunately for College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball, home was where the heartbreak was this past weekend.

For the first time since the PACWEST volleyball season opened Oct. 30, the Avalanche were in familiar territory, hosting the Camosun College Chargers Friday and Saturday at College of the Rockies.

After coming away from a season-opening road swing with an even record of 2-2 through the Lower Mainland, the Lady Avs dropped both games by identical scores of 3-1 to the Chargers on home court.

After falling behind 2-0 Saturday afternoon, the Lady Avs battled back, winning the third set by a decisive 25-17 mark.

“This team has no quit in it, none whatsoever,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin Saturday afternoon.

“The character is a big thing with these girls.

When they keep their energy up, they feed off of each other. Nobody stays down and everybody stays on a high and just rides the wave.”

Trying to force a fifth and deciding set, the Lady Avs fell behind 22-16 before rattling off

six consecutive points to tie things up. With momentum on the home side and the Chargers reeling, Camosun head coach Chris Dahl called a timeout to settle his side.

The breather worked, as the Chargers claimed the remaining three points needed to take the set and the match.

“It was about finishing right at the end,” Zurrin added. “Every game, we got to 22 [points] and right at the end, that little bit of a push to finish off the other team, call it the killer instinct, we just didn’t have that this weekend.”

Left side Kelsey Thompson continued her strong start to the season with 18 kills and 28 digs over the weekend. Right side Jayden Roch and left side Mackenzie Morey each crushed 16 kills in support.

“Our bench is getting stronger and stronger, and people are stepping up, which makes us a taller, more dynamic team,” Zurrin said. “We got a couple new players into the match that didn’t see any game action [previously]. They get the jitters out of themselves as a result.”

Though Zurrin had some positives to take away from the weekend setbacks, life wasn’t quite as peachy for head coach Steve Kamps and the men’s team.

After falling in a tightly-contested five sets Friday night, the Avs came out and laid an egg Saturday afternoon as the Chargers cruised to a straight-sets victory to earn the weekend sweep.

“Bottom line, it’s serving,” Kamps said Saturday afternoon. “Friday night, I thought we were the better team on the court in all areas of the game, except for serving.

We missed 28 serves and some periods, we missed six, seven or eight [serves] in a row. When you’re not putting the ball over the net, you’re not going to win. “[Saturday], we reduced our errors from the service line, but the serves weren’t tough enough. As a result, Camosun was able to side out, bang some balls, gain some momentum and we just weren’t able to compete with that because of our serving.”

Kamps said there is only so much that can be done to address the serving errors, suggesting too much focus on that area in practice can be detrimental to the mental aspect of the game. Despite this, he acknowledged a number of his players need to work on their routines.

“It’s the one thing that’s holding our team back,” Kamps added. “In my mind, if we had a serving machine serving to both teams, we’d be

Lady Avalanche left side Mackenzie Morey (#5) gets up for the kill Saturday afternoon against the Camosun College Chargers. The visitors from Victoria swept the Lady Avs in the weekend, improving upon their PACWEST-best record of 8-0. The Lady Avs fell to 2-4 on the season.

6-0 right now. We’re 1-5 because of our serving.

“We’re making that many errors and we’re still competing. We competed hard. I thought we controlled the play, blocked well and were physical. Both setters came in and did a good job this weekend. I think we can take positives

Double downed Kimberley Dynamiters drop back-to-back outings against Fernie & Princeton Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters dropped backto-back outings this past weekend, falling 2-1 to the Fernie Ghostriders on the road Friday, before hosting the Princeton Posse in a 5-1 defeat Saturday.

Friday’s test in Fernie was of particular importance. Earlier in the week, head coach Jerry Bancks characterized it as a measuring stick for the Dynamiters, who were neck-and-neck

with the Ghostriders in pursuit of first place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division.

After two losses this weekend, the Dynamiters now find themselves five points behind the Ghostriders, and only four points ahead of the surging Creston Valley Thunder Cats and Golden Rockets.

Tyson Klingspohn maintained his lead atop the KIJHL goal-scoring charts, tallying the Nitros only goal Friday in Fernie. The marker gives the

Penticton native 20 goals through 20 games. Josh McCulloch, who registered the game-winning goal in Fernie’s 2-1 victory Friday, is hot on Klingspohn’s heels with 19 goals in 19 games.

After turning in a 40save performance in defeat Friday, goaltender Liam McBain had a rough go of it on home ice, victimized five times on 28 shots.

The Princeton Posse used a three-goal second period and a three-goal performance from Kurtis

Klinger to get out of Kimberley with a 5-1 victory.

Forward Jason Richter registered the only goal for the Nitros Saturday night.

The Dynamiters hit the road for three games in three nights start Friday night when they visit the Kelowna Chiefs. Saturday night, Kimberley gets a crack at revenge when they roll into Princeton. The threegame swing closes out Sunday evening when the Dynamiters visit the Summerland Steam.

Next up, the Avs host the Vancouver Island University Mariners . Ladies action goes Friday (6 p.m.) and Saturday (1 p.m.). The men are also slated for Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.).

Ducks grounded by viral infection Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. Right wing Corey Perry and defenceman Francois Beauchemin have missed practice with the Anaheim Ducks due to a viral gland infection.

Perry and Beauchemin are being kept away from their teammates with their contagious

condition, the Ducks said Tuesday. Both veterans are undergoing further medical tests.

Perry has missed the Ducks’ last three games after falling seriously ill and requiring intravenous fluids from a local hospital last week. The former NHL MVP is still

tied for the league lead with 11 goals heading into Tuesday’s games.

Beauchemin missed Sunday’s game against Vancouver.

Anaheim (10-3-3) hosts the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.

Habs deal with Stars; acquire veteran D Gonchar C anadian Press

MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens have acquired defenceman Sergei Gonchar from the Dallas Stars in exchange for forward Travis Moen.

Gonchar missed the first 11 games of the season with a foot injury and has one assist in three games since his return.

The 40-year-old has 798 points in 1,256 regu-

lar-season games.

Moen has yet to record a point in 10 games this season.

The 32-year-old Moen has 125 points in 690 career regular-season games.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been on antidepressant and bipolar medication for 12 years. The problem is, I feel I am being overmedicated. I want to sleep all day. I am also legally deaf. I live with my parents because I am unable to drive. My depression and resulting destructive spiral caused my grades to go south in college, which has interfered with my ability to find a good job in my field, and not all employers are willing to make accommodations for a hearing disability.

My family does not treat me particularly well. The medication helped a lot, but being on the meds for so long has caused other problems, including issues with my shortterm memory. I am tired of taking medication that I feel is hindering more than helping. I saw a counselor for a while some years ago, and that did more for me than any medication could.

My family refuses to listen to me when I tell them the new medication is causing excessive drowsiness. I have been told to simply suck it up. My family won’t let me stop the medication. I know I am bipolar, but this does not give my family the right to treat me like a second-class citizen.

I would like to find a job so I can earn enough money to go back to college, but I have no idea where to start. My only job experience is some community service I did as part of my high school graduation requirements. -- Fed Up in a Lonely Home Dear Fed Up: First phone or make an appointment to see the doctor who prescribed your current medication, and explain the drowsiness. It is likely you can have it adjusted. Also, you could use some emotional support. Please contact the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance at dbsalliance. org. Then check your state, city and county government offices for jobs for the disabled, along with the U.S. Dept. of Labor (doleta. gov) and servicelocator.org at 1-877-US2JOBS. Don’t let your parents’ lack of support hold you back.

Dear Annie: My husband is a chain smoker, has very poor dental hygiene and has lost many teeth.

He has never been an affectionate person, but when he does decide to kiss me, I am repulsed by his cigarette breath and the fact that he hasn’t brushed his teeth. Therefore, I usually try to avoid being near him.

My question to you is: Should I nicely tell him he needs to see a dentist? -- S. Dear S.: Yes, dear. Otherwise, you will be stuck with this situation for the rest of your married life, and over time, it will put a terrible and unnecessary strain on your relationship. Tell him that his breath could use some assistance. Make him understand that not brushing his teeth puts him at risk for heart disease. We suspect he harbors a fear of dentists, so assure him that current dental techniques take that into consideration, and there are various ways to alleviate discomfort. Ask him to come with you to find a dentist he is comfortable with. Also buy him some breath freshener that he can gargle with. That may be all he is willing to do, and it will help.

Dear Annie: It is with disgust that I feel the need to respond to “Disappointed,” who is in support of individuals blowing their noses at the dinner table.

I realize she’s climbing on the “medical excuse train” in order to offset accountability for grossing out her dinner companions, yet I found her reasons to be selfishly juvenile at best. I, too, have a medical condition -- colitis. Does that justify continuous flatulence at the dinner table?

Get over yourself, honey. If you feel the need to blow your nose, excuse yourself. If you blow constantly, politely decline any dinner invitations until you schedule an appointment with an allergist and an ENT. -- Blow It Out Your Ear Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent

of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
