Get set for winter driving TREVOR CRAWLEY

Now that winter has officially arrived, Public Works will be doing their part to keep Cranbrook’s roads and sidewalks clear of the white stuff. However, the highways can be tricky to navigate, especially when the snow freezes, and that maintenance falls under Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting. The company is responsible for plowing and maintaining numbered provincial highways and roads between Brisco (north), Goatfell (west), Alberta (east) and the U.S. Border

(south). Al Sander, general manager for the company, said people often ask what gets plowing priority and how often plows are out to apply salt and winter abrasive. “It’s important for everyone to know that Mainroad’s plowing response time is determined by the standards set by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure,” Sander said. “Priority is given to numbered highways and school bus routes with other roads frequency determined by winter traffic volumes.

sheds, and 60,000 tons of winter sand gets used on the roads. During the winter, the company is encouraging drivers use winter tires and to slow down and allow for a larger gap between yourself and the vehicle in front of you. Accidents, unsafe road conditions and road kill can be reported to Mainroad’s hotline, the information of which is used to update DriveBC, while the hotline can dispatch additional personnel and record public communication as required. That number is 1-800665-4929.

Cranbrook’s notable hard-rock guitar legend Jacen Dean (“JD”) Ekstrom has died. Ekstrom was suddenly struck with a ruptured aorta on October 28 while in Calgary and was immediately rushed to Foothills Hospital, where after a brave struggled for his life (and surrounded by his family) he passed away on the afternoon of November 7. He was 42. Inspired in his teens by the hard-rock sounds of KISS, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses and the like, Ekstrom displayed an in-born natural talent with the electric guitar, and soon established himself as one of the flashier lead-guitar soloists in the Cran-

“These frequencies are reviewed annually by the Ministry to ensure that plowing priorities reflect any changes in the road network.” Mainroad is not responsible for plowing inside municipal boundaries or on forest service roads, but there are maintenance yards scattered across the region at Yahk, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Jaffray, Invermere, Fernie and Sparwood.

Loverboy, Sweeney Todd coming for Classic Rock weekend For the Townsman

Western Financial Place in Cranbrook will be hosting a Classsic Rock Music weekend on Saturday, Feb. 28, featuring one of Canada’s most iconic rock bands — Loverboy. With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound, and high-energy live shows Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four million-selling, Get Lucky, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983s, Keep it Up, and 1985s, Lovin’ Every Minute of It. Their incredible string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem, “Working for the Weekend”, “Every Minute of It”, “This Could be the Night”, “Hot Girls in Love”, “Heaven In Your Eyes”, “When It’s Over”, “Queen of the Broken Hearts”, “Almost Paradise”, and of course one of the greatest rock an-

thems of all time “Turn Me Loose”. Loverboy went on to win a still-record six Juno awards in 1982, and until a three year sabbatical in 1989, were one of the top five grossing touring acts in the world, performing in over 100 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Their success made them the first Canadian group ever to earn Columbia Records’ exclusive Crystal Glove Award, celebrating the sale of over five million albums outside their native country. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in March of 2009 at GM Place in Vancouver, where they joined the likes of Neil Young, David Foster, Leonard Cohen, and Bryan Adams. Loverboy consists of original members, vocalist Mike Reno, guitarist Paul Dean, Doug Johnson on keyboards, and Matt Frenette on drums. Ken Sinnaeve has replaced the late Scott Smith on bass.

The band continues a healthy touring schedule around the world and will make Cranbrook one of their stops on Feb. 28 at Western Financial Place. The opening act for the night of Classic Rock will be none other than Nick Guilder and Sweeney Todd. Earning multi-Juno and No. 1 platinum status, the band’s songs continue to enjoy considerable radio play, with their rock classics, including “Roxy Roller”, ‘’Hot Child in the City” and “Here Comes the Night”. Having toured with The Cars, Cheap Trick, Peter Gabriel, Foreigner, Styx, Journey, New York Dolls, and Chuck Berry, Guilder and the band deliver a memorable powerhouse performance each and every night.

New ICU starts to take shape Tre vor Cr awley

The new Intensive Care Unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital is starting to take shape. The expansion of the ICU, which will serve patients across the region, is on track for completion in mid-2016 as Interior Health updated the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors last Friday morning. Todd Mastel, director, business support of IHA, provided the update. “We have the roof slab completed on the building structure and a lot of the scaffolding and support infrastructure has now been removed, so from the street view, you can get a better sense of what the final product will look like,” he said. In addition to the roof, masonry and steelwork has started as well as construction of walls and interior partitions. “In the next few days, we’ll be working on putting a roof membrane, the masonry as well as other interior supports to get to a lockup stage before Christmas, is what our schedule is looking like, so then in the new year, we can start some interior work,” Mastel added. Along with the ICU expansion, the project is updating the electrical system through the hospital and that stage currently includes preparation for foundations for the new emergency generators and other mechanical and electrical equipment. Moving forward, there could be traffic in-

terruptions during construction, but IH is working with the project contractor to minimize any potential impacts. The $20 million project is part of a EKRH redevelopment project with funding from the province, Kootenay East Regional Hospital District, and East Kootenay Foundation for Health. It will replace the current four-bed unit and feature two more high-acuity beds, with a 8,470 square-feet addition to the northeast side of the hospital. The former ICU location will be vacated, which is in the planning stages of turning into a paediatric space. The electrical upgrades will improve power supply to the entire hospital and allow capacity to expand for future power needs.

Cranbrook rocker JD Ekstrom passes away Continued from page 1

Graduating from Mount Baker Senior Secondary in 1990, Ekstrom then attended the illustrious Selkirk College Music Program in Nelson, B.C., as a Performance Major before striking out on a professional music career. Ekstrom’s next band 1-900 (based in Calgary, where he made his

home) undertook extensive Canadian touring and landed prime support slots for more established artists, but it was when he joined Vancouver’s alternative-rock unit Neurosonic that Ekstrom’s major-label career truly took flight. While in Neurosonic, he performed alongside fa-

Ekstrom met Canadian rocker Bif Naked in 2009 through Neurosonic’s management, and after Neurosonic evolved into the new band CrashScene, he found himself as the new lead guitarist for her group. Ekstrom was instrumental in the current resurgence of Bif Naked, appearing live with her as an acoustic duo as well as with the full-bore high-energy electric lineup. Bif Naked herself recalls her experiences with Ekstrom with an understandable combination of sadness and fondness. “JD joined the band when I was still finishing my final rounds of cancer treatment,” Bif said. “I was still a sick girl, but I didn’t know that. JD did know, and right from the start he was very kind and protective and helping. Once I realized what an astounding musician he really was, he just continually blew me away. He became my security blanket. I never had to worry onstage when JD was riffing away or shredding out a screaming solo. He became my mentor, and he basically was the band-

Giving the gift that gives hope, Nov. 15 Arne Petryshen

The Gifts that Give Hope Fair is coming up this Saturday, Nov. 15. The fair is a chance for shoppers to meet and learn about local non-profits as well as make donations to your cause of choice confidentially. The fair is an event for the whole family with free activities and entertainment. It will include a swim from 12 to 2 p.m., an all day toddler play zone, a kid’s craft table, a skate with Santa and much more. The fair is free and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Patricia Whalen, Children First manager, said the fair is a fun way to

bypass the annual stress of holiday shopping and accumulating items, while honouring friends and relatives with donations to causes that fit their values. “What’s more, the Fair provides critical support for a diverse collection of community organizations whose work has local and regional reach.” The Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF) has also partnered with Children First to bring the unique initiative Gifts That Give Hope to not only the Cranbrook area, but for the first time to all of Canada.

2014 roads projects mostly done A r n e P e t rys h e n

The City of Cranbrook took on a number of road projects in 2014, with the biggest being 6th Street North. At the Nov. 5 city council meeting, CAO Wayne Staudt said virtually all the roads projects the city planned to do in 2014 have been completed. “We’ve had a good year on the roads program,” he said. Mayor Wayne Stetski said there have been some significant improvements this year, not least of which the 6th Avenue North improvements. “I’ve heard from some people that live on 6th Avenue and they are so happy,” Stetski said. Staudt said if you are one of the lucky ones who live on a street recently completed it is a time to be happy. The city divided up the program into two parts, Contract “A” and “B” 2014 Annual Capital

Roads Program Contract “A” •The city completed work on Industrial Road No.2. It included milling off the existing asphalt from Industrial Road C to Industrial Road No. 3, reshaping the road to provide proper drainage, and repaving of the road surface. •The work on 17th Avenue was completed. That work included: milling off the existing asphalt from 2nd Street North to 17th Street South, reshaping the road to provide proper drainage, although the very flat nature of this the existing roadway made this task a difficult one and repaving of the road surface . •Work on 2nd Street North and Victoria Avenue Intersection was completed. This work included: replacing concrete sidewalks and the concrete island with proper letdowns, improvements to the storm system at the intersection including

new catch basins and manhole cover replacements in the intersection, milling off the existing asphalt, reshaping the road to provide proper drainage, repaving of the road surface. •The sidewalk replacement on 8th Avenue South which is also complete. This work included: removing the existing sidewalk (combination of concrete and asphalt sidewalk); replacing with proper concrete sidewalk; and repaving the disturbed road area at the sidewalk. •The city completed the sidewalk replacement on Baker Street. The work included: obtaining approval from the Water Management Branch - Ministry of Environment for work near a creek; removal of existing soil; installation of concrete barriers to reenforce the area for the sidewalk; installation of the sidewalk from Baker Secondary School to tie in with existing sidewalk at 17th

Avenue North with proper concrete sidewalk; and repaving the disturbed road area at the sidewalk. 2014 Annual Capital Roads Program Contract “B” •Work on 6th Street North from Kootenay Street to Victoria Avenue is nearing completion. The completed work included: Removal and replacement of 500 metres of water main; replacement of 25 residential water service connections and three large service connections.

Search for the old dancin’ shoes ”I could have danced all night.” “My Fair Lady,” by Lerner and Loewe

few weeks ago, whilst shopping, my day was brightened by a lovely lady who deigned to dance with me. It was a tango-ish sort of shuffle but we definitely danced. Cautiously, I had approached the deli section hoping to find there something that actually tasted of something. The woman — my future Ginger Rogers — was at the counter but, as I approached, she stepped back into me apologizing for her clumsiness, as did I. We tried to manoeuvre around each other but failed and so I, being a perfect gentleman born and bred, asked her if she’d care to dance, and she did. Now, I can’t remember the lady’s face nor, probably, can she recall the debonair Fred Astaire who guided her so skilfully, but that encounter was delightful. As Liza Doolittle sang in ‘My Fair Lady’’, I could’ve danced all night. I just love people who have a sense of humour, a social necessity in my deteriorating times, but I just hope that I didn’t tread on her toes because, these days, I often seem to be wearing boots. The other day I was turning out my foot-

wear, the stuff that helps clutter up my basement. There was quite an accumulation, mainly boots. Let me see: downhill ski boots, mountaineering ski boots, cross-country ski boots, three different pairs of hiking boots, work boots, cold weather felt-lined boots and rubber (Wellington) boots. It was quite an impressive array, as I took stock, but one thing bothered me. I could not find any shoes, not leather soled shoes, some that I might have Peter danced in some years ago. Warland This led to a frantic search which turned up broken down sandals and one pair of running shoes, i.e. sneakers because I was never much of a runner. Incidentally, the moccasins that I uncovered were ready to be dumped, so I did. When I was a callow youth, learning to dance was a social necessity. That was the way that spotty lads got to meet and actually touch those sweet-smelling things called girls. I learned to dance, first the waltz, embarrassed all to hell, from my mother and thence to quick-steps, fox-trots, rhumbas and what-have-you, then how to jive to the fantastic swing music of those days. Every little band was emulating the greats like Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller and Ted Heath. I was often at a dance hall several times a

week and met lots of interesting girls. Of course, I didn’t marry one of those young ladies but I did make the right choice. In fact I taught the lovely lady who married me how to dance, and she learned in spite of my clumsy efforts. If you have any faith in genetics, you might be led to believe that I inherited my fondness for dance from my father, a tap-dancer, who thought that Fred Astaire was the ultimate ‘hoofer’ of his era. But this is not so. I damaged my ankle permanently when I was very young. Ergo, to my father’s dismay, I couldn’t tap; but I could prance about vaguely in time with whatever music was playing, and I just loved those moments. Finally, after an exhaustive search in the depths of my basement, I disinterred that one pair of brown leather shoes with leather soles and rubber heels. They were in a sorry mess, scuffed and broken down at heel, but, unlike those moccasins, I was unable to dump them into the garbage; I almost bronzed them and hung them on the wall; they brought back so memories of those dances at The Bluebird Inn with The Sound of the Forties playing, those happy evenings in The Columbo Lodge where I pranced around with my lovely wife – and several other lovely ladies — those who risked their dainty toes — in my arms. Back then, I could have danced all night. Well, almost!

Taxes, tax rates

Letters to the Editor

The letter writer (“About Cranbrook Taxes,” Nov 10) confuses taxes with tax rates. The assessed value of your home is determined annually by the BC Assessment Authority. Your property tax notice includes this figure. To calculate your municipal tax, the city multiplies your assessed property value by the municipal tax rate. The same goes for school taxes, hospital tax, etc. Property values vary wildly from town to town, so tax rates alone do not reveal how much tax people pay. And you don’t pay a tax rate, you pay a tax, so ratepayers should compare their tax bill, not their tax rate. Fortunately, just such a comparison of tax bills is available from the BC Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development on its “Local Government Statistics” page. Interested readers can download Schedule 704, “Taxes and Charges on a Representative House.” These ministry statistics place Cranbrook in the middle of the pack for residential municipal taxes for the nine municipalities cited by the letter writer, and ninth lowest of 24 municipalities in the 10,000 to 25,000 population range. The reason is simple. The representative house in Cranbrook, at $249,014, is the seventh cheapest house by assessed value of these 24 municipalities. Darrell Bethune Cranbrook

Fire Hall facts

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) has been working for several years with the City to redevelop the historic fire hall. Some have said that the City intends to give $500,000 to the CDAC for this purpose. This is untrue and grossly misleading. The City has no intention of giving or lending development money to the CDAC. The City Council has put an item into their Five-year Plan to redevelop one of their buildings . They can’t leave it to deteriorate and it is not marketable, as is. Tearing it down to make a parking lot is 1950’s thinking. The cheapest and most practical option for the city is to spend some money making repairs and have the CDAC raise additional funds through federal grants to develop it as an art gallery. With this goal in mind the Council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the CDAC. The Arts Council has applied for and received a sizeable grant through the Columbia Basin Trust for an engineering study to establish if the building is sound and to identify needed repairs for use as a public space. The city was spared this expense. Further, the CDAC will apply for large federal and provincial heritage grants for this project. Both Nelson and Fernie have tapped these funds and so can Cranbrook. Local firms will benefit through the influx of major grants for engineers, architects and builders in completing the project. Downtown businesses will benefit from added traffic coming in to an art gallery in the middle of town. Cranbrook is a mature community. It is time to discard 1950’s thinking and to look forward to the economic benefits that arts, culture and heritage will bring to our city. For more facts about the project call me at 426-3399. Bill McColl CDAC Building Committee Chairman.

Infrastructure, taxation

During Cranbrook’s municipal electoral campaign period, much has been said about the need for more spending on infrastructure, particularly roads. The most critical commentators have also been critical of city tax rates. This is evidence of the ability to hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously. Limited taxation power combines with off-loading from other governments to put more demands on fewer municipal dollars. In January, 2013,the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) published a report showing that the federal government has off-loaded responsibilities to the provinces, which in turn off-loaded responsibility for infrastructure and for program delivery to municipalities – without providing the necessary funds. Off-loading (or devolution) is a real problem for municipalities and First Nation communities. In BC, the Columbia Institute found that “83.6 per cent of the locally elected leaders surveyed ... said federal and provincial downloading of costs onto local governments is a major problem for their community”. In the 1990s the federal government cut billions of dollars in transfer payments to provinces, which passed the problems on to municipalities with devastating effect. On Dec. 27, 2013, Calgary’s mayor Naheed Nenshi summed it up: “Legally, and constitutionally, cities have no framework … Right now, the legislation that governs the city of Calgary — which is larger than five provinces — is exactly the same as the legislation that governs a summer town of 100 people”. And despite the interprovincial differences, municipalities

across the country find themselves in the same leaky boat as Calgary. Nenshi called for an honest discussion about taxes. “Politicians need to stop being scared of that [tax] conversation and really open it up to people saying: ‘The services you need cost’ ... we have to be realistic.” It looks like some Cranbrook mayoral and council candidates, along with citizens, need to get realistic too. Joyce Green Cranbrook

Kimberley development plan

I wish to respond to the article in the Bulletin October 27, 2014 McRae responds to economic development plan. After three years of the McRae leadership??.. How can we allow things to get worse? How can Mayor McRae make these statements with a straight face? I sit in disbelieve reading all the spin in this article. There are as many empty buildings in the Platzl today as there were in January 2012 and McRae calls that progress? McRae states and I quote; “A strategy is a plan.” Well I disagree with that claim because a strategy is usually a measurable statement of fact, nothing more and nothing less. Back in 2012 most proactive Mayor’s would have guided his/her new Council on developing a strategy statement which may have stated; Build a sustainable Community that attracts $300 million of private investment and 300 more residents by 2018 to pay the $170,000 wage increase for union employees effective March 1, 2015 and all other increases in wages. City management or a committee would then be tasked with the responsibility to develop a plan including goals, objectives and tactics required to satisfy the strategy statement. McRae states and I quote; “I believe that Economic Development is actually Community Development.” I again disagree with your belief because Economic Development and Community Development are two separate and distinct topics. Economic Development is the creation of family wage jobs and a net gain of money flow, called an economic base/ GDP, into the community. New money and jobs usually come from new industries, housing starts and small business. Community development on the other hand is a very broad subject and includes everything from improving the appeal of a neighbourhood, community accessibility and the list goes on and on. One thing I do know is the City cannot continue spending millions of dollars on their pet beautification projects without a substantial increase in economic activity and I’m not talking millions, I’m talking in the range of $2 billion over the next 10 to 15 years. Combining Economic Development and Community Development will accomplish nothing more than create confusion and the right hand will never know what the left hand is doing. McRae states, “Perhaps it’s why many call this the silly season” and you know by golly I agree with that statement. Everything is a game of chicken. It’s all about who’s going to move first. And the person who moves first is always the person who knows he can’t win. In my opinion you made the first move Ronnie so keep up the good work of attacking McCormick’s economic plan and credibility because it only serves to demonstrate you have nothing better to offer. Greg McCormick Kimberley

Good place to be working

Another election and again we are told that our competitive advantage is lifestyle. Our value proposition should differentiate us from all the other four season destinations within a 4 hr drive. It’s time to stop drinking the “lifestyle kool-aid”. Our future should not be based on “dirtbags” buying cheap houses (no new tax revenue there) and cheap lifestyle (compare the cost to ski or golf). The unofficial brandline – “Kimberley, because it’s cheap”. Cheap housing and lifestyle make not for an economic development strategy. What a nefarious sales job for folks moving to Town, sold on the dream of lifestyle only to spend sleepless nights lamenting how they will pay their bills in the absence of a job. What of our seniors on fixed incomes, is it fair to expect them to finance new infrastructure or the new Town excavators? What of the self- sustained amenity migrants who moved to Kimberley for retirement or just shift gears to get out of the rat race? Are we enabling new entrepreneurs or attracting investors? Sadly no. Ask local businesses how much Council/Administration influenced their decision to start a business in Town or have supported that business to date. It takes more than issuing a business license to take credit for new investment. As a former dirtbag and past president of the Chamber I have witnessed the frailty of our tourism based economy. Everyone knows someone who left work in Fort McMurray or the Elk Valley. Who could afford to ski or golf, have a pint, dine out,

or shop locally when they can hardly afford to pay the bills. Local business and a dedicated few have tried to turn the economic tides of Kimberley, yet unemployment remains higher than the national average, taxes continue to increase, there are no incentive programs to attract new business, and local businesses are left to their own devices. Nothing, absolutely nothing shreds the social fabric of a community more than economic hardship. How rewarding to hold a decent job, provide for your family and support your local economy. Election rhetoric spewing the vestiges of lifestyle over jobs is dishonest and a recipe for collapse. The solution: new businesses to build in Kimberley, employ a modest workforce at a decent wage. That’s an assessed value and that’s the revenue side of a municipality. It also triggers residential activity and discretionary spending. And yes, you can bank on these workers to enjoy the lifestyle too. Schaun Goodeve Kimberley

Response to Jensen

Ah, Alex. Norma Blissett hasn’t been elected a councillor yet as your Nov. 10 letter alleges, but I’m sure she would make a fine councillor and thanks for doing your best to promote her. As for me, a self-proclaimed independent running for re-election, I’ve never belonged to a political party which is why I call myself an “independent.” Mind you, I’ve volunteered for political parties, the last one being the Reform Party that gave birth to the federal conservatives, about as far from “tax and spend” as you can get. As for the slate bogeyman, the closest thing I’ve seen to a municipal slate in Cranbrook was the last election when four former Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce presidents ran and lost. This year, the chamber wisely decided to live up to its non-partisan mandate and declined to get directly involved in the election. I commend them for that which is more than I can say Alex for your attempts to sling mud in the current campaign. Councillor Gerry Warner Cranbrook

On group recommendations

During an election when you are a candidate for Mayor you are asked by many organizations to meet with them or to fill out surveys so that they can advise their members who that group thinks is the best person for the job. This includes business organizations, arts and culture groups, environmental groups and unions. That is standard practice. As a candidate you do not know if, or how, those organizations will support you, and you certainly don’t know whom else that group might endorse. I have not seen CUPE’s endorsement information. I appreciate all the support that is being directed my way based on what I want to accomplish for Cranbrook working together with you. I agree with Mr. Jensen when he advises against being told who to vote for, including groups like retired mayors trying to tell you who to vote for to regain influence at city hall. They should just come in and see me – it would be nice to visit with them! Don’t you just love election time….! Mayor Wayne Stetski Cranbrook

Jumbo municipality

On November 15, the citizens of BC will elect representatives to make local decisions and spend taxes on their behalf. In all municipalities, that is, except for one: Jumbo Glacier Resort Municipality (JGRM), near Invermere. JGRM and its appointed mayor and two counsellors cost taxpayers over $200,000 per year, but has no residents or infrastructure. Its single purpose is to enable a private development. JGRM was created in 2012 after the BC government amended the Local Government Act to make it possible to incorporate resort municipalities in areas without people, since (unlike the BC Liberals) the majority of members of the East Kootenay Regional District did not support the project. In one fell swoop local representative democracy was eliminated. Putting aside the wisdom of using taxpayers’ money to subsidize select private companies, destroying wilderness for the sake of low-paying jobs and recreation for the rich, building a ski resort in a region where many languish half-empty and glaciers are shrinking, what does it say about the value of local democracy when the B.C. government can simply create a new town when it disagrees with decisions made at the municipal level? JGRM is an affront to our democratic traditions. Paul Mick Kelowna

Keep calm & carry on Avalanche aim to get on track against VIU Mariners Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

After a collective sweep at the hands of the Camosun College Chargers last weekend, both College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball teams look to turn things around this weekend when the Vancouver Island University Mariners visit Cranbrook. The Avs (1-5) face a tall task if they’re to take down the Mariners (5-1), ranked second in PACWEST play heading into the weekend. “If we can serve tough against this team, we’ll be very successful,” said Avs coach Steve Kamps prior to practice Wednesday. The service line proved the downfall for the Avs this past weekend, as the Chargers edged the hosts 3-2 Friday, Nov. 7, before sweeping Saturday’s contest 3-0. “Everybody’s got to figure out individually where they’re at,” Kamps said. “If we’re asking them to hit targets and they’re not comfortable with that, I’d rather them serve, for now, a ball into the court where they’re comfortable with it. At least it gives us a chance to score rather than, in their mind, not feeling

like they can hit a certain area. Then, sure enough, they go back and miss that serve. “Hopefully it’s one of those things, if you get on a confident roll, you can be successful.” The Avs are guided by libero Mitch Parnham, who was named Avalanche Athlete of the Week with 17 digs against Camosun. The offense is powered by outside hitter Curtis Stockton, who leads PACWEST with 90 kills through 25 sets. As for the Lady Avs (2-4), they look to climb back to the .500-mark this weekend against a Mariners team (1-5) that is better than its record might indicate. “They have always been one of the top teams in the league,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin after practice Wednesday night. “This year, they have a new setter and they’re working through their transition, but they have lots of excellent athletes.” According to Zurrin the Mariners were sanctioned with four losses after using an ineligible player. With that in mind, the Lady Avs play-caller isn’t about to underestimate a tough Mariners squad.

“They’re tall, they’re athletic, but I think there’s holes in their defense,” Zurrin said. “They haven’t seen what we run, whatsoever. I think we have a really, really good shot. “If we run our offence, get them with some speed, get them a lot of split blocks, I think we can capitalize on getting past their block, which is the strength of their defense, to the back court where they’re a little bit shaky.” Last weekend, Zurrin lamented his team’s ability to engage its “killer instinct” against Camosun. The hope is a little work on mental toughness will help push the Lady Avs to embrace their ability to finish against the Mariners. “If we’re making silly errors, we address them,” Zurrin said, describing his team’s approach to practice this week. “If we’re playing tentative, we address it. We just have to change the mentality to understand the pressure.” Libero Alexa Koshman was named Avalanche Athlete of the Week for her performance against Camosun. The 5-foot-5 rookie from Lethbridge sits fifth in PACWEST

Don’t denounce McDavid’s decision Usually known for terrifying opponents with quick hands and creativity beyond his years, Erie Otters star Connor McDavid caused all of Canada to hold its breath in fear after dropping the gloves during OHL action Tuesday night. Taking exception to a slash from Bryson Cianfrone of the Mississauga Steelheads, McDavid dropped the gloves, breaking his hand in the process. The phenom -- McDavid tallied 51 points in 18 OHL games prior to the injury -- is now at risk of missing the World Junior Championships, where he would have played a significant role for a Canadian junior team looking to end a lengthy championship drought. Shortly after the news broke, social media exploded with opinions saying the 2015 NHL Draft prospect should have never dropped the gloves to begin with, calling into question the place of

fighting within the game. I say let the kid go to blows. For the time being, fighting is allowed within the confines of the rules and though the evolving style of play might suggest scrapping is on its way out, players know the risk involved. McDavid took Taylor exception to how Rocca Cianfrone came at him and he made sure the 19-year-old Steelheads captain knew it. For years, NHL star Jarome Iginla has thrown down the mitts to send a message. And for years, Iginla has not only been one of the most feared goal-scorers in the NHL, he has also been one of the game’s most punishing power forwards. Not that McDavid is a regular in the ring, but if he wants players around the OHL to understand he isn’t going to accept mistreatment and he chooses to take matters into his own fists, let him do it. Sure, that decision bit him this

time around. But had McDavid left the scrap with Cianfrone unscathed, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We would be talking about how bold it was for a star to literally get his hands dirty, and handle himself in the thick of competition. Does fighting have a place within the game of hockey? That isn’t for me to decide. But as long as the rules allow for it, don’t denounce dynasty-type players when they decide to drop ‘em. Fans love violence, it’s why the NHL has yet to do away with fighting. Remember when Iginla and former Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier went toeto-toe during the 2004 Stanley Cup final? That is, arguably, the most exciting tilt in the past 15 years of NHL competition. Fans love it. Some buy their tickets because of it.

OHL star Connor McDavid sidelined Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TORONTO - Connor McDavid will be out five to six weeks with a fractured bone in his right hand, an injury that could put his participation for Canada in the world junior championship in doubt. The Erie Otters announced Wednesday afternoon that McDavid suffered a fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone in a fight Tuesday night with Mississauga’s Bryson Cianfrone. The fractured bone extends from the base of the pinkie finger to the wrist. McDavid will not require surgery.

November marks the third annual Be Active Every Day challenge for school age children in BC. Initiated by the Doctors of BC’s Council on Health Promotion, doctors across the province are challenging over 4,600 elementary students to exercise for at least 60 minutes of every day from Nov. 3 to 28. In Cranbrook, Dr Fraser Bowden and some of his colleagues are leading the charge with over 1,300 students participating in seven of the city’s elementary schools. Students from Pinewood, T.M. Roberts, Amy Woodland, Highlands, Steeples, Kootenay Orchard and Gordon Terrace elementary will all be participating. Dr. Bowden and his colleagues will go into each school and present the challenge for students. Bowden is a member of the Doctor’s of B.C. Council and decided to get involved after receiv-

ing an email about the program. “So I sort of took it on myself to organize the program for Cranbrook,” Bowden said. “We go and do a presentation on the importance of being active everyday and the importance of eating healthy,” he said, as well as limiting screen time, for the next four weeks. Bowden said it’s been an amazing turn out this year for the program, with seven schools involved. Last year they had two schools involved. “It’s actually a third of all students in British Columbia that are involved are in Cranbrook,” he said. The challenge is in response to recent results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey finding only seven per cent of kids aged 5-11 years meet the Canadian Physical Activity guidelines of one hour of activity a day. The survey also finds that sixty-one per cent of Canadian parents agree their kids spend too much time staring at their electronic devices rather than being active. With doctors in the classroom children will learn more about health, nutrition and fitness from a medical perspective, as well as learn the simple

By the end of the month, the doctors hope that kids will turn their healthy choices into habit – ones that will last well into adulthood. “We just see so much complications associated with inactivity and poor eating down the road that I think really targeting this age group can help in disease prevention significantly,” he said. “These kids are quite influential and influence-able at this age.” To help students achieve their goals, the challenge has the support of the Canadian Women’s National Soccer team. In advance of the FIFA World Cup coming to Canada early next year, players Emily Zurrer and Brittany Baxter are BAED’s champion ambassadors who encourage the kids by teaching them soccer tricks and training them to become “soccer stars” through a series of videos. The kids will also keep track of their daily activities in their How to Be a Soccer Star booklet. He said hopefully next year they can add KCA and St. Mary’s schools to the program as well.

African children’s choir performing in Cranbrook

For the Townsman

“Asante” is a Swahili word translated “Thank You” in English. The Asante Children’s Choir is made up of children from East Africa, a region recovering from years of civil war and genocide that have claimed millions of lives leaving thousands of children and women as orphans and widows. The Choir will be in Cranbrook on Tuesday, Nov. 18, for a performance at Knox Presbyterian Church at 6:30 p.m. The Choir is dedicated to spreading love, hope and joy while raising awareness for the desperate plight of orphans and other vulnerable children. Their colorful clothing, pounding drums and sweet voices demonstrate their hope and dream for a brighter future. Their inspirational stories of resilience have instilled hope in the hearts of all those who have seen them perform. The children who

have been rescued from some of life’s most difficult circumstances take pride in expressing gratitude through their music. Their performances are the true testimonies and living “Thank-You” (Asante) notes sang to everyone who has invested in their lives giving them great pride and hope for a brighter future. The purpose of the choir is for the children to share God’s love with audiences through song, dance and testimonies of what God has done in their lives. The goal of the choir is to encourage audiences by showing them that, despite the desolate circumstances the children come from, they have beauty, dignity, hope and unlimited potential. The choir also raises awareness about the needs of children in Africa and encourages audiences to participate in Asante’s vision of creating environments where

Children’s Choir will be performing at Knox Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m. children and those most in need can be given hope for a better future and the tools to make that future a reality.

Benefit to the places we visit: Through the children’s testimonies, participating audiences

have come away with a deeper appreciation of God’s love for them and for the world around them.

Individuals are encouraged to face their fears and embrace God’s love in their lives. Audiences have also

been motivated, encouraged and moved to participate in God’s transforming work in their communities.

Crown calls Magnotta a ‘pathological liar’ Sidhartha Baner jee Canadian Press

MONTREAL - An assessment by a psychiatrist of Luka Rocco Magnotta’s criminal responsibility raises more questions than answers about the night Jun Lin was killed in May 2012, the Crown said Wednesday. In her report, Marie-Frederique Allard said she determined Magnotta was not criminally responsible in the death because he was schizophrenic and in a poor mental state after not having had proper psychiatric care since 2010. Magnotta has admitted to killing Lin but is arguing he was suffering from a mental disorder. He faces one count of first-degree murder and four other charges in the slaying. Allard has said Magnotta told her he believed Lin was a government agent sent to kill him and that voices urged him to “cut it” and

to “give it back to the government.” In his cross-examination at Magnotta’s murder trial Wednesday, Crown prosecutor Louis Bouthillier said the version of events the accused gave Allard raised several inconsistencies and unanswered questions. Among them, according to Bouthillier: • Why was Magnotta wearing Lin’s hat hours after the Chinese student’s slaying and dismemberment if he believed Lin was an agent? Was it kept as a trophy? • If it was meant as a message to the government, why was the socalled murder video of Lin’s gruesome death published on a gore website and not sent directly to the government? • Why did Magnotta leave his apartment at 2 a.m. if he thought government officials spying on him were in a dark vehicle outside? • Did he have an ex-

planation for why he was brandishing an oscillating saw as he stood over a sleeping mystery man less than one week before Lin’s slaying?

“He lied to a psychiatrist to get out of being hospitalized. He could also have lied to get out of going to prison.” Louis Bouthillier Crown Prosecutor These and many other questions were met with similar responses from Allard - either she hadn’t asked Magnotta or he hadn’t offered a proper explanation. Bouthillier called Magnotta a “pathological liar” who had an interest in telling halftruths to Allard to escape jail time. The veteran prosecu-

tor said the accused had already demonstrated that ability by admitting to Allard about fibbing to medical professionals in 2011 and one month before the 2012 crime. “He lied to a psychiatrist to get out of being hospitalized,” Bouthillier said. “He could also have lied to get out of going to prison.” Justice Guy Cournoyer issued an instruction after Bouthillier’s repeated descriptions of the accused as a liar, reminding the jury that Magnotta benefited from the presumption of innocence. Allard said Magnotta’s schizophrenia medications, which he started taking regularly after his arrest in June 2012, could be responsible for his memory lapses. She has done roughly 900 evaluations of different types over a 15year career. Allard repeated Wednesday that Magnotta was challenging, that his responses were often scattered

and that he couldn’t remember details. The Crown also said there were differences between the version Magnotta gave Allard and one he gave another psychiatrist who is scheduled to testify for the defence. Bouthillier was able to grill Allard on several pieces of information she said she either found out about recently or failed to put into her 127-page assessment of Magnotta. One example Bouthillier asked about that did not make it into Allard’s report involved the suitcase into which Lin’s torso was found stuffed. Allard said Magnotta remembered buying it but did not remember damaging it. Bouthillier suggested the suitcase was intentionally slashed, smeared with paint bought at an art-supply store, and fitted with a lock to prevent a passerby from collecting it from the trash.

Congress studying $6 billion aid package for Ebola L aur an Neergaard Sar ah Dilorenzo Associated Press

WASHINGTON - A top U.S. official outlined plans Wednesday for clinical trials of a possible Ebola vaccine in West Africa, as the global response to the outbreak took on added urgency with the disclosure of a new cluster of cases in Mali and reports that the death toll had surpassed 5,000. Two studies of a U.S.-developed vaccine will begin in Liberia and Sierra Leone by January and if they go well, “we could know by the middle of 2015 whether or not we have an effective vaccine,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious disease chief at the National Institutes of Health, told the Senate Appropriations Committee. The confirmation of long-anticipated vaccine studies came as the Senate panel began evaluating the Obama administration’s request for $6.2 billion in emergency aid to fight Ebola. “These resources are essential to stop the outbreak in Africa, and protect us,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the number of infections is slowing in some parts of West Africa, the World Health Organization said cases still are surging in Sierra Leone. Worse, nearby Mali on Wednesday reported three deaths linked to Ebola and moved to track dozens of people who may have been exposed. “That cluster has to be controlled or we’re going to have another front,” Frieden warned.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a married woman in my early 60s. My husband and I have been married for 35 years. We get along fine most of the time. He is a good man and a good provider. He can be opinionated at times, but he loves his family and friends. The problem is his constant need for sex. During our early years, I went along with it, but he would want sex at the most inconvenient times, like when I was all made up, dressed and ready for work. He has a high sex drive, and I do not. After years of trying to satisfy him, I am at the age where sex is neither important nor enjoyable. Sometimes, it is downright uncomfortable. I do it occasionally, for his benefit, but I really don’t like to. I do love my husband and show him in other ways. How can I tell him that I don’t enjoy this part of marriage anymore without hurting his sense of manhood? -- Trying To Build a Better Life in the Midwest Dear Trying: You are never going to convince your husband that sex is something he ought to do without. Part of that involves his sex drive, but we suspect another part is a need to control. Still, if you love him and want to remain married, we hope you will try to accommodate him on occasion, in which case, please talk to your doctor about how you can make sex more comfortable. You also can take your husband with you to the doctor so he can better understand what you are going through, and then reach an accommodation that is acceptable to both of you. Withholding sex because you (and only you) are no longer interested can damage your marriage, making your husband unhappy and depressed or, worse, making him feel justified in looking for someone else to fill the void. Dear Annie: Is it OK to plug your cellphone into an outlet at a restaurant, grocery, department store, bar, apartment building hallway, etc.? I work in a restaurant, and people are constantly unplugging lights and other electrical appliances in order to charge their phones. They don’t bother to ask permission before moving tables or to ask what they are disconnecting. Should owners add a “charging fee” to those who want to use their electricity? What is the proper way to handle these inconsiderate thieves? -- Mrs. Watts Dear Mrs. Watts: Most establishments don’t mind if you plug into any available outlet, although it is always polite to ask first. But disconnecting lights or other appliances is not acceptable unless expressly given permission to do so. As for a “charging fee,” owners must decide whether asking patrons to cover any increase in the electric bill is worth losing customers and creating ill will. Dear Annie: You have suggested it is important for a host to find out about any serious allergies that guests may have. I have allergies to shellfish and nuts. I can go into anaphylactic shock simply by eating something that was cooked in the same pan as these foods or cut with the same knife. But I believe the problem is my responsibility. When invited to a meal, I explain the issue to my host. If it creates a serious problem (she was planning on lobster), I simply decline graciously and suggest we meet another time. If it is buffet or wine and cheese, I tell my host that I will need her to indicate what is safe for me to eat. I turn it into a joke, saying, “It could otherwise be a more exciting evening than either of us planned.” I have found people very willing to share exactly what a dish contains and how it was prepared. I would hope my guests would afford me the same courtesy. We can’t expect others to take responsibility for our health. -- Not Too Concerned Host Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Thank You

For those who may or may not have known, our beloved son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robert Scott Taitâ&#x20AC;? (1975 - 2014) at only 39 years of age was tragically taken from us in a traffic accident on October 1st, 2014 in Yellowknife, NWT. With heavy hearts for the loss of a very special son, father, brother, nephew, cousin and friend to so many, we attended a Celebration of Life in his memory in Yellowknife on October 29th, 2014. At this time we would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our many friends in the Kimberley community for their overwhelming support and kindness during this very difficult time. Through your cards, flowers, food and visits of comfort. It has meant so much to us. Kimberley is truly a compassionate, understanding and caring community which we are so fortunate to call home. Thank You, Lynda Chamberlin & Cam McCallum

I was last seen Oct. 24 in the area of 4th St. N. & 21st Ave (near the Hospital). My family is really worried about me! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 3-4 years old, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a long haired calico with lots of white on me and very golden eyes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very timid. Please help me get back to my family. They have a reward too.

Obituaries Helen Iris Walkley (nee Sherret) 1928 - 2014 It is with heartfelt sadness and fond memories that the children of Helen Walkley announce her passing on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at the FW Green Home.

Helen was born on October 6, 1928 in Coalhurst, AB. She moved with her family to Cranbrook in 1946 and worked for Frameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery. Soon after she met and fell in love with Jack, they married in May 1948 and together they raised 5 children. Helen worked alongside her husband in the family business Walkleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cranbrook Meat Market. Helen was a community volunteer, she was active in the PTA at Amy Woodland, Girl Guides, the United Church Children Choir, and was a Senior Fitness Ambassador for the City of Cranbrook, and Hospital Auxiliary for 25+ years. Her love of life kept her actively involved in fitness, gardening, church and reading. Helen loved her family dearly, she always took time for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and each were very special to her. Helen was a loving and caring person who will be remembered forever in the hearts by everyone whose lives she touched. Helen is survived by her son Jack (Ildi) Walkley and their sons Jacob and Ben; daughter Carolyne (Dale) Jacklin of Kelowna, and their sons Chris (Jody), Colin (Glory), James (Holly) and Jordan (Malori); son Tom (Joan) Walkley and their children Shannon (Aaron) and Darren (Karen); daughter Diane (Phil) Butz and their children Jason (Leah), Robert and Melissa; and daughter Sandra (Jess) Davis and their children Lukas and Alanna; and thirteen great grandchildren. Helen is also survived by her brothers James Sherret, Gordon (Lorraine) Sherret; Carol (Norman) Redigar of SK, and Gwen Wills; many nieces, nephews and wonderful friends. Helen was predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Jack Robert Walkley in 2001, her parents Andrew and Margaret Sherret, brothers John, Charles, Cecil and David Sherret, and sisters Hazel Scotter and Velda Desrosiers. The family would like to thank the FW Green Home staff for wonderful care they provided Mom during her stay there. Their attentive and caring manner will never be forgotten.

CALGARY - Police are questioning a man and a woman about a two-alarm fire that forced residents of a Calgary apartment block into the cold night air. Emergency officials say transit buses were called in to keep tenants warm when the overnight blaze broke out in a second-storey suite of the southwest-area building. A large volume of

flame sparked the second alarm, but the fire in the four-storey block was quickly brought under control. The building filled with smoke and some occupants had to get safety using firefighters’ ladders. Some media reports say at least one person jumped from a balcony. There is no word of injuries, but officials say one person was taken to hospital as a precaution.

European Space Agency lands spacecraft on speeding comet - a cosmic first ASSOCIATED PRESS

DARMSTADT, Germany Hundreds of millions of miles from Earth, a European spacecraft made history Wednesday by successfully landing on the icy, dusty surface of a speeding comet - an audacious first designed to answer big questions about the universe. The landing on comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko required immense precision, as even the slightest error could have resulted in cosmic calamity. Indications were that the spacecraft touched down almost perfectly, save for an unplanned bounce, said Stephan Ulamec, head of the lander operation. But thrusters that were meant to push the lander, called Philae, onto the surface, and harpoons that would have anchored it to the comet failed to deploy properly. Initial data from the spacecraft indicated that it lifted off again, turned and then came to rest. “Today we didn’t just land once; we maybe even landed twice,” said Ulamac. Scientists were still trying to fully understand what happened but so far most of the instruments are working fine and sending back data as hoped, he added. The landing team at mission control in Darmstadt first had to sweat through a tense seven-hour countdown that began when Philae dropped from the agency’s Rosetta

space probe as both it and the comet hurtled through space at 41,000 mph (66,000 kph). During the lander’s descent, scientists were powerless to do anything but watch, because its vast distance from Earth - 500 million kilometres (311 million miles) - made it impossible to send instructions in real time. Finally, at 1603 GMT (11:03 a.m. EST), the agency received a signal that the washing machine-sized lander had touched down on the comet’s icy surface. While further checks were needed to ascertain the state of the 220-pound (100-kilogram) lander, the fact that it was resting on the surface of the comet was already a huge success the highlight of Rosetta’s decade-long mission to study comets and learn more about the origins of these celestial bodies. Scientists liken the trillion or so comets in our solar system to time capsules virtually unchanged since the earliest moments of the universe. “By studying one in enormous detail, we can hope to unlock the puzzle of all of the others,” said Mark McCaughrean, a senior scientific adviser to the mission. The mission will also give researchers the opportunity to test the theory that comets brought organic matter and water to Earth billions of years ago, said Klim Churyumov, one of the two astronomers who discovered the comet in 1969.

A photo taken by Philae on approach to the comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko Rosetta and Philae will accompany the comet as it races past the sun and becomes increasingly active in the rising temperatures. Between them, they will use 21 different instruments to collect data that scientists hope will help explain the origins and evolution of celestial bodies, and maybe even life on Earth. Mission manager Paolo Ferri said there was no time to celebrate, because the lander had only enough battery power to operate for up to 64 hours. After that it will have to recharge, using solar panels to eke out an extra hour of operations each day. Ferri said communications

with the lander needed to be stabilized, as there were intermittent connection problems after the touchdown. In the meantime, all the data that Philae collects is safely being stored for later transmission, he said. Wednesday’s landing capped a 6.4 billion-kilometre (4 billion-mile) journey that began a decade ago. Rosetta, which was launched in 2004, had to slingshot three times around Earth and once around Mars before it could work up enough speed to chase down the comet, which it reached in August. Rosetta and the comet have been travelling in tandem ever since.

Judge rules Alberta can be sued over fracking allegations C ANADIAN PRESS

ROSEBUD, Alta. - A judge is allowing a lawsuit by an Alberta woman who says her well is so contaminated with methane from hydraulic fracturing on her property that the water can be set on fire. Jessica Ernst filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Alberta Environment and Calgary-based energy company Encana (TSX:ECA) in 2007. She alleges fracking on her land northeast of Calgary released hazardous amounts of chemicals into her well. She also alleges that her concerns were not properly investigated. The government had asked the court to strike it from the lawsuit. The province argued it doesn’t have a private duty of care to individuals and is immune from prosecutions under its environment and water legislation. Chief Justice Neil Wittmann of Court of Queen’s Bench dismissed the government’s application. “There is a reasonable prospect that Ernst’s claim that she is owed a private duty of care will succeed,” he

wrote. “There is also a reasonable prospect that Ernst will succeed in defeating Alberta’s statutory immunity claims.” Wittmann ordered the province to pay Ernst’s legal costs at triple the regular rate, because the province could have made its main arguments years ago instead of filing a separate application. Ernst called the ruling a big victory for all Albertans. She said it shows that landowners can stand up and hold governments to account. “I have been getting constant phone calls and emails from people around the world. Obviously the ruling means a lot to many people,” she said Wednesday. Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping water, nitrogen, sand and chemicals at high pressure underground to fracture rock and allow natural gas or oil to flow through wells to the surface. Earlier this year, a Canadian Council of Academies study said there is a major gap in understanding fracking’s potential impacts on the environment and people.

Angry veterans call for Tory defeat in next election C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - A group of angry veterans, who want the Harper government defeated in the next election, is appealing to serving members of the military to join them in protest. Ron Clarke, a member of Canada Coalition for Veterans who has been campaigning against the closure of Veterans Affairs offices, made the appeal today during a Parliament Hill news conference. It may put those in uniform in an awkward position, but Clarke says they need a government that looks after veterans. The plea is just the latest move in what is a major rift in the veterans community, one that has the potential of undermining the coalition’s aim of galvanizing votes against the Conservatives. Last week, a group of outspoken veterans advocates announced that six organizations had formed a coalition that would, at a minimum, boycott government announcements and photo-ops. The coalition says a low-key approach to confronting the government has not worked and spokesman Mike Blais says the Royal Canadian Legion seems satisfied with current disability awards for the most severely wounded troops.

Workers dangling on scaffolding rescued from high up on NYC’S World Trade Center ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Two window washers were trapped for more than an hour Wednesday on scaffolding dangling 69 stories up the side of 1 World Trade Center before firefighters were able to cut through the new skyscraper’s glass and pull them to safety. The dramatic rescue occurred on the south side of the 1,776-foot (541meter), 104-story building, where the open-topped platform hung at about a 45-degree angle and swayed slightly in the wind. The Fire Department said the workers were tethered and communicating with rescuers during their ordeal on the side of the nation’s tallest skyscraper. A cable on the scaffolding apparently broke around 1 p.m. (1800 GMT), according to Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the building. New York City official said they don’t know yet why the cable malfunctioned. Rescuers could be seen dropping cables to workers and the fire department tweeted a photograph of rescuers inside the building looking at the dangling platform. At one point, another scaffold was inched down the same side of the

Rescue workers cut through a window pane at 1 World Trade Center to pull the dangling window washers to safety. building. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said firefighters used diamond cutters to saw through a two-layered glass window. The opening was roughly 6 feet (2 metres) tall. Nigro said the workers had mild hypothermia after their ordeal.

People on the ground had been moved back in case glass began flying. Office workers and construction workers streamed onto a nearby street, their necks craned upward to watch the scaffold as it is waved in the wind. Dozens of emergency vehicles lined the street.

CBC ponders new name for Ghomeshi’s show C anadian Press

TORONTO - The search for a permanent replacement for “Q” host Jian Ghomeshi fired amid unproven allegations he was violent toward women will begin in earnest next week, the CBC said Wednesday. In addition, the broadcaster is looking at possibly changing the name of the program that has come to be closely identified with Ghomeshi, a senior manager told The Canadian Press. “We’ve heard from a lot of people who think we should scrap it and a lot who want to keep it,” said Cindy Witten, senior director of the radio network’s talk department. “We’ll continue to listen to the audience and our partners and we also plan to do some targeted research.” The CBC fired Ghomeshi on Oct. 26 after seeing what it later called “graphic evi-

dence” that he had caused physical injury to a woman. Ghomeshi, who is under criminal investigation, has said he engaged in consensual “rough sex.” The scandal, which sparked an emotional conversation across the country about the violence and harassment women face, also

sparked questions about what CBC management knew of Ghomeshi’s proclivities. Despite the harrowing weeks, Witten said the hiring of former CBC veteran Jamie Purdon to take over as interim executive producer - he starts next Monday - was an important step toward getting back to normal.

“It feels like we’re turning the page,” Witten said in an email. “The full team is back and the program is rocking.” Some program changes are also in the works but the intent is to retain its focus on arts, culture and entertainment. Witten said the show has a “long list” of strong

candidates to replace Ghomeshi as host - auditions will start as soon as possible - and listeners have been offering suggestions. For now, Tom Power, Piya Chattopadhyay and Brent Bambury will continue as guest hosts. Musician/broadcaster Wab Kinew will take the big chair for a few weeks starting Dec. 8.

B.C. dog walker pleads guilty in animal deaths C anadian Press

SURREY, B.C. - A Vancouver-area dog walker accused of killing six dogs by leaving them in a hot truck has pleaded guilty to two charges - animal cruelty and mischief. Emma Paulsen was charged with six counts before admitting that she lied about what happened in May, when she left the animals in her truck at a Langley dog park. Paulsen first reported they had been stolen from her vehicle but then told police that the dogs died of heat exhaustion. Reports of the missing dogs

prompted a massive community search before ultimately leading officers to the bodies in a Fraser Valley ditch. Jennifer Myers, whose Boston terrier died in the truck, said she fears Paulsen will get a light sentence after all the pain she’s caused to families who lost their pets. “She pleaded guilty to two of six charges, which right away makes you think that what she’s going to get for a sentence will be a slap on the wrist than anything and that’s a real slap in the face of all the families,” Myers said outside provincial court in Surrey.

The temperature was as high as 25 C on May 13, when Paulsen left the dogs, including one of her own, in the truck. Paulsen initially said she was away from her vehicle for only a few minutes to use the washroom at a park and that when she returned the animals were gone. She told police she spent hours looking for them and dreaded the thought of telling their owners they were missing, RCMP said at the time. The maximum sentence for animal cruelty cases is two years. Paulsen will be sentenced on Jan 21.

U.S.-China climate deal pushes Canada to keep pace with largest trading partner C anadian Press

OTTAWA - Canadian policy-makers can expect to come under intense pressure now that the United States and China have reached a ground-breaking agreement on curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The Conservative government in Ottawa has long argued that curbing Canada’s relatively paltry emissions on the global scale was not a priority when major emitters were unwilling to act. Regulation of the oil and gas sector has been promised - and delayed - for years, even as the country falls well behind on its international commitment to curb emissions 17 per cent below 2005 levels by the year 2020.

Small magnets found in some toy sets a health risk C anadian Press

TORONTO - Health Canada is repeating its warning that toys containing small, powerful magnets are a health risk to children. The warning comes after the department received a report of a recent incident where a three year old swallowed two magnet rods from a Mega Brands Magnetix Magnetic Building Set. The child received medical care quickly and didn’t sustain any injuries. But the department says if a child swallows more than one magnet, they can be drawn together in the child’s intestinal tract. This can cause intestines to twist and create blockages or produce tears in intestinal walls.

Your home may be the biggest investment you’ll ever make. That means you want to be smart with your mortgage. Although we can’t say for sure what mortgage rates will do – or how the housing market will shift – we have compiled our top tips for the year ahead; sensible strategies for today’s homebuyers and owners. Variables are back. Several lenders are offering strong “prime minus” rates that could save you thousands in interest. And the Bank of Canada is still holding their key “overnight rate” very steady and very low… making variable-rate mortgages a sensible option right now. Fixed versus variable has always been a challenging mortgage decision. Let us help you decide which financing option best meets your needs. Don’t sleepwalk through your mortgage renewal. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to save thousands on your mortgage. When your lender sends you a letter saying it’s time to renew… then it’s time to get an expert second opinion. We’re independent and we have access to over 50 lenders. If there’s a better deal, we’ll find it. Pay your phone bill on time! Paying your bills on time has always been the most important credit habit. Equifax recently started to include

phone companies on credit bureau reports – so your lender can see if you have any delinquencies with your phone bills. Look like a good borrower. Keep other good credit habits. Don’t let your credit accounts exceed 30 per cent of your limit. Don’t cancel an old credit card without getting advice. And don’t sign up for store cards: they often have crazy interest rates, and the application triggers a credit inquiry (you don’t want a lot of those). Mortgage versus total debt. Do you have high-interest debt outside your mortgage that you won’t be able to pay off in the next few months? Then think about rolling that debt into a new low-rate mortgage. This one, smart strategy could save you thousands… and boost your monthly cash flow. We can analyze your situation to see if you qualify. What’s the prepayment penalty? Don’t let anyone tell you prepayment penalties are “all the same”. They’re not. If you ever need to get out of your mortgage early, the right mortgage could save you thousands. Not all lenders calculate penalties the same way, and the differences can be substantial. It helps to know which lenders have the most fair prepayment

penalties. With access to dozens of lenders – we’ve got that information at our fingertips. If one of you wants to keep the marital home. If you are going through a separation or divorce and one of you wants to keep the marital home, we’ve got some great mortgage options, including a mortgage to 95 per cent. Your home can be the asset that gives you both a fresh start! A paydown will pay it forward. Take every opportunity to beat down your mortgage principal using any prepayment privileges! Use tax refunds, bonuses, whatever. Or switch to weekly or bi-weekly payments. Every dollar you pay down on principal means every future payment goes further. Thinking renovation? We see what you see. Your reno will add value to your home. That’s why we have a special “Refinance Plus Improvements” mortgage that lets you refinance up to 80 per cent of the new, postreno value of your home. Cool deal. Come in for a checkup. Your mortgage needs an annual checkup. Really. Life doesn’t stand still, which means your needs may have changed. Even a minor tweak can pay big dividends.

Angry veterans call on serving soldiers to help defeat Tories Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press

been campaigning against the closure of Veterans Affairs offices, made the appeal Wednesday during a Parliament Hill news conference. It may put those in uniform in an awkward position, but Clarke says they need a government sensitive to veterans and their needs.

“We need a government that looks after our veterans,” he said. The plea is just the latest move in what is a major rift in the veterans community, one that has the potential of undermining the coalition’s aim of galvanizing votes against the Conservatives. Last week, a group of

outspoken veterans advocates announced that six organizations had formed a coalition that would, at a minimum, boycott government announcements and photo-ops. The coalition says a low-key approach to confronting the government has not worked and spokesman Mike

Keystone XL showdown imminent in U.S. Alexander Panet ta Canadian Press

WASHINGTON - A dramatic showdown over Canada’s Keystone XL pipeline has erupted on the floor of the United States Senate - a sign the six-year battle over the project could be nearing a critical endgame. Embattled southern Democrats are trying to force a vote immediately on the long-stalled project that could happen as early as Wednesday evening, but is more likely to take place Thursday. Chief among them is Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu, who risks

losing her seat in runoff election next month. Proponents argue that the current Congress has long supported a Keystone bill but it’s only blocked by the Democratic leadership in the Senate. In the wake of last week’s midterms, a Keystone vote wasn’t expected until early next year, which is when the new Republican-dominated Congress is to be sworn in - but it appears some Democrats want to do it now. The current Congress returned today to kick off a brief, lame-duck session until the new year. “It needs to get done right

now,” Landrieu said in a lengthy floor appearance, with a map of the proposed pipeline perched up next to her. “Not in January, not in February, not in March.” She said elections have consequences, and one of the consequences of last week’s Republican romp is that the Congress will easily have enough votes to pass the pipeline. Landrieu is the clear underdog in a fight to retain her seat in a one-on-one runoff election after she failed to capture 50 per cent of the vote on Nov. 4 against multiple conservative rivals.

Blais says the Royal Canadian Legion seems satisfied with current disability awards for the most severely wounded troops. Soldiers injured in combat are eligible for a one-time, lump-sum payment for non-economic loss that ranges up to $350,000. “The Legion believes $350,000 is OK and the consultation group they have formed believes that’s OK. We do not,” said Blais, who is president of Canadian Veterans Advocacy. “We have done extensive consultation with those who have suffered the consequences of war in Afghanistan. I have spoken to memorial cross mothers and those who are suffering.” Blais argues - as do a group of Afghan veterans in a lawsuit against the federal government - that the old system of pensions for life was more generous than the new veterans charter, introduced by the Liber-

als, but fully embraced by the Harper government in 2006. Scott Ferris, a spokesman for the Legion, denies his organization is satisfied with the charter and points to a national letter-writing campaign that was started in late October, calling on members to buttonhole their MPs and demand change. He also denied the Legion is happy with the current lump-sum benefits, saying it supports an increase to the level of civilian court awards, which statistics suggest is are than one-third higher than what soldiers receive for lost limbs, and pain and suffering. Veterans receive a host of other income support that in theory would match what an individual received under the old system, but Blais said it’s a false narrative. “Our men and women served in harm’s way. We cannot com-

pare their sacrifice to a workplace injury,” he said. The infighting is counterproductive, Ferris said. “It is regrettable that there is this difference of opinion emerging, because the Legion fully believes that all veterans organizations have the same goal,” he said. “We all want the highest level of care and benefits for those who’ve served.” Once the election is called, Clarke said, he intends to drive across the country to each of the nine districts where Veterans Affairs closed offices last winter to rally opposition to the Conservatives.He calls it the “ABC Campaign”the Anything But Conservative. It’s a nod to former Conservative Newfoundland premier Danny Williams, who in 2008 launched his own ABC campaign against the Harper government over a broken equalization promise.

NEWS Conservatives projecting $1.9 billion surplus for 2015 C anadian Press

OTTAWA - Next year’s federal budget surplus will be $1.9 billion, the Finance Department says - $4.5 billion less than expected, thanks in large part to the Harper government’s multibillion-dollar cost-cutting proposals for families. The expected surplus, unveiled Wednesday in the government’s fall fiscal and economic update, is a far cry from the $6.4-billion surplus projected in February’s budget. That’s because of the Conservative government’s recently announced family-friendly tax and benefit initiatives, which will consume an estimated $27 billion from public coffers between 201415 and 2019-20. Finance Minister Joe Oliver, who delivered the update at a luncheon in Toronto, defended the measures, which include higher

child care benefits and a controversial income-splitting plan for families with children. “We are providing families this financial relief for a simple reason,” Oliver said. “Across Canada, Canadians are telling us the same thing. The cost of everything, from groceries, to hydro, to housing, is going up.” The update projected that Canada would run a $2.9-billion shortfall this fiscal year, matching the government’s projection in the federal February budget. The document also examined the effect of declining oil prices on the Canadian economy. Cheaper crude could drain $500 million from Ottawa’s bank account this year and $2.5 billion per year between 2015 to 2019, and cut Canada’s nominal GDP by $3 billion in 2014 and $16 billion annually from 2015 to 2019, it predicts.

Joe Oliver “It is a prudent projection, adjusted for the recent decline in oil prices,” Oliver said. Nonetheless, the federal government is projecting five straight years of surpluses: $4.3 billion in 2016-17, $5.1 billion in 2017-18,

Family doctors call on Ottawa to create home-care strategy Sheryl Ubel acker Canadian Press

TORONTO - Canada’s family doctors are calling on the federal government to develop a national home-care strategy for seniors and improved health care for young people, including the elimination of child poverty by 2020. In a report released Wednesday at its annual meeting in Quebec City, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) outlined a suggested road map on how Ottawa could achieve these goals. The organization, which represents about 31,000 family doctors across the country, said the health-care system needs to focus more on home- and community-based care under a national home-care strategy, which it wants to see developed and implemented by 2016. “While hospitals provide excellent care, they’re not always the most appropriate places for that care,” said Dr. Garey Mazowita, president-elect of the CFPC, who practises in Vancouver. “Many Canadians would prefer, where appropriate, to be cared for in their own homes.” “Home care helps people maintain health and well-being as well as personal independence and dignity by living in their own homes and their own communities.”

Mazowita said he has looked after a number of elderly couples with health issues, who have been able to stay together in their homes because residence-based healthcare services were available, while some other older couples in his practice could not continue to be cared for at home because such programs were not in place. “As you can imagine, a loss of co-habitation with a spouse following years of intimacy, mutual support and interdependence in a familiar residence in one’s own community, and often in the late stages of life, is a most profound one,” he said. The physician said he’s also seen the health of elderly patients decline in hospital while they waited for a nurs-

ing-home bed. “Their function and mental well-being would have been better maintained, and often even improved, had adequate home care been available to allow discharge home, where the familiar environment would have been of great comfort and autonomy would have been optimized.” Although the federal government has taken small steps in supporting home care for Canadians, Mazowita said it needs to create a national strategy with the provinces and territories to significantly boost home- and community-based services, while increasing access to long-term care. The report, entitled “From Red to Green. From Stop to Go,” also suggests steps for maximizing the health of

children and youth, starting with a federal commitment to eliminate child poverty by the end of the decade. Doctors want to see a ban on “junk food” advertising directed at children under 12 - a step Quebec took in 1980 - and improved nutritional labelling on food products to help parents make healthier dietary choices for their children. The CFPC also wants Ottawa to explore tax and subsidy strategies aimed at promoting consumption of healthier foods. In order to reach their full potential, young people need a safe and secure environment, opportunities for physical and mental development, and access to a range of healthcare resources, regardless of socioeconomic status, the report says.

Alberta charges three people in illegal tobacco busts in three communities C anadian Press

EDMONTON - Alberta investigators have charged three people in three different communities following a seizure of illegal tobacco products. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission says materials seized included water-pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco and cigars that would have cost the province about $32,000 in lost tax revenue. Commission spokeswoman Jody Korchinski says the charges include

criminal fraud and the unlawful sale of tobacco products under the provincial tax act. The suspects in the unrelated cases are from Calgary, Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie. The Finance Department estimates the province loses about $18 million a year in taxes because of contraband tobacco. The Western Convenience Stores Association last week called on the Alberta government to crack down on the sale of illegal tobacco.

$6.8 billion in 2018-19 and $13.1 billion in 2019-20. In the short term, however, it remains unclear whether the Harper government will have enough leftover cash to introduce additional cost-cutting measures for Canadians. Income splitting for families with children will allow one parent to claim up to $50,000 of his or her spouse’s income in order to reduce the household’s overall income tax bill by a maximum of $2,000. The Conservatives made the promise a central component of their 2011 election campaign, although it was strictly contingent on a balanced budget. The government’s critics and political rivals have been denouncing the idea ever since, saying it would benefit only a small and relatively wealthy segment of the Canadian population.

That’s why the government wrapped it in a bundle of family-oriented measures that included an expanded universal child care benefit of $160 a month per child up to age six, up from $100, and $60 a month for children aged six to 17. Together, the measures stand to benefit every Canadian family with kids, the Tories insist. The enhanced child care benefit replaces the existing child tax credit, starting in the 2015 tax year. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has hinted that the government will soon follow through on another 2011 pledge: increasing the annual limit on tax-free savings accounts to $10,000, from $5,500. The Tories still have an outstanding promise to introduce an adult fitness tax credit, though it’s not clear how the government might earmark any leftover surplus cash.
