Saved from the jaws of the grizzly
Bear attack survivor recounts one morning in October AR NE PE TRYS HEN
It’s been a long month for Cranbrook’s Wilf Lloyd. On October 12, near Fernie, Lloyd was rushed, knocked over, pinned down and mauled by a grizzly bear. Lloyd was out hunting elk at the time with his son-inlaw Skeet Podrasky. Podrasky is credited with saving Lloyd by shooting the bear numerous times and killing it. Because of the close quarters, Lloyd also sustained a gunshot wound, but survived the attack, and was able to be flown to hospital in Calgary. It’s going to be a long road to recovery for Wilf. After the attack he had five surgeries in just eight days. His wounds are now healing, but he’ll find out this week whether he will be ready in the next two to five months for a prosthetic knee. Wilf and Skeet recently sat down with Mike Turner, local videographer, for an interview. For the past few years, as part of a Thanksgiving tradition, Wilf and Skeet have gone out hunting near Fernie.

The evening before of Oct. 11 they managed to bugle in an elk and shoot at it, but didn’t appear to hit it. They spent some time looking for blood on the trails but couldn’t find any. Just to be sure they marked the area
and decided to come back in the morning. The next day they met to take another look. “We started zigzagging and looking at different trails and it was thick — there were trees and little creeks,” Wilf
said. “It took us about half an hour or so through the buck brush. We walked all the way through the bush. There was a field on the other side — we got to the field and we were pretty confident that there was no elk.”
But as they were walking back to the truck, Wilf spotted the skeletal remains of a whitetail deer. Wilf knelt down to check it out. “As I knelt down, I was about down to my knees to pick it up. I heard a noise
below me. There was a little rise in the buck brush and really thick bush. I heard a noise and a thud — the bear had locked his eyes on mine.

Kimberley woman trapped in immigration limbo C AROLYN GR ANT
Kiri Talbot of Kimberley has been notified by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) that she has overstayed her work permit and should voluntarily leave the country within 30 days. However, Talbot’s situation is complicated due to her 16-year old stepson and a looming custody hearing
on December 15. She is hoping to rally some support in her home community for her problem. “We’ve got to the point where we’re desperate and need any help we can get,” Talbot said. Talbot has been in Canada since 2007, and co-owns two houses in Kimberley. She fell in love with Kimber-
ley on a ski trip and stayed. “As a Brit, I can leave and then come back for six months at a time,” she said. She has never had permanent resident status but did apply for it when she married a Canadian in 2011. At that time she applied for permanent residency with her husband as her sponsor. His undertaking to sup-
port Talbot if necessary after she became a Canadian was approved in May 2012. However at that time, the marriage was already in trouble. The couple separated, with Talbot’s 16-year old step-son Liam (14 at the time) choosing to remain with her. Because her now ex-husband was threatening to
withdraw sponsorship, she applied for and received a temporary work permit (she is a geologist by trade). The two-year permit was granted in July of 2012 and has since expired. In June 2014, a month before her work visa was to expire, Talbot applied for a sixmonth visitor’s visa. She wanted to extend her stay in
Canada to attend a custody hearing at which she hopes to become Liam’s official guardian. That hearing is set for this December 15. But instead, CIC advised her she had overstayed her work permit and sent her a letter asking her to voluntarily leave.

Search warrants executed in Cranbrook and Fernie For the Townsman
Members of the Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP Regional Crime Reduction Unit have been busy over the past month during which time they have executed three search warrants. On October 8, 2014, police executed a search warrant at an apartment in Cranbrook seizing cocaine, marijuana as well as other paraphernalia related to the trafficking of narcotics. Three people were charged as the result of this investigation. Cory Rene Hirt, a 27-year-old Kimberley resident, has plead guilty and is currently serving a jail sentence. The two other individuals are still before the courts. On October 30, investigators from the Cranbrook RCMP General Investigation Section, the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit and the Elk Valley General Investigation Sec-
tion executed a search warrant at a Fernie residence, seizing cocaine and paraphernalia related to drug trafficking. That investigation is ongoing. On November 13, police executed a search warrant at a residence in Cranbrook seizing cocaine and drug trafficking paraphernalia. Aaron Blair Childress a 35-year old Cranbrook resident, was arrested and charged in relation to this investigation. Childress has plead guilty and is now serving a jail sentence. S/Sgt. Dubnyk would like to remind the general public to call the police if you note suspicious activity or are aware of any criminal behaviour in your neighbourhood. You can call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-4893471, Kimberley RCMP at 250-4274811 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Kimberley woman faces deportation Continued from page 1
It arrived on Nov. 12, 2014, and she has 30 days to comply. She fears the next step is a removal order. “CIC says you have to go in 30 days,”Talbot said. “I do have an immigration lawyer and he says to stay where I am. He can hopefully deflect deportation and buy us some time. “I applied for a visitor permit in order to get custody. CIC knew my reasons. In fact they phoned me on November 5 and gave me the impression that I would get a permit to next July but then I get this letter out of the blue.” At this point, Talbot says she doesn’t expect to be able to gain permanent residency. She can’t
apply as a skilled worker, because she hasn’t been working as a geologist, choosing to stay home and raise her step-son. But she can’t leave permanently in less than three weeks. “I have property to sell, pets to process for moving back to the UK and the custody issue to settle.” She is hoping the custody hearing will go her way in December. “It’s probably not going to be that easy, although there has been no effort on my ex’s behalf to apply for custody before,” she said. “If I get joint custody, I can take him with me. But it’s not ideal. He’s Kootenay born and bred. And he says he will not live
with my ex or his family, even if I have to leave. “If it hadn’t been for Liam, when my ex left, I could have packed up and gone. But I’ve got this kid who has been through so much. He needs security, consistency and stability. He is the sweetest kid. “I am totally in a holding pattern right now. I have confidence in my lawyer that I will be here for Christmas. I’d love to stay permanently but I don’t think that will happen. “But I’ve invested everything here. I need to sell. The best case scenario is that I get custody and a few months to deal with everything. Right now I’m in no man’s land.”
Time for a new sleigh for Santa F o r t h e Tow n s m a n
How can Santa Claus deliver presents to all the good boys and girls without a sleigh? JCI Kootenay wants to answer that question, by kicking off the “Santa Needs a New Sleigh” campaign. For the last seven years, JCI Kootenay has run the Santa Claus Parade in Cranbrook, bringing together thousands of residents to see jolly Saint Nick travel through the downtown core. The Santa Claus Parade is also a huge benefit to the community by raising money for our local food bank. In 2013, over $3,700 was raised. Obviously, for Santa and his
wife Mrs. Claus to wave to the onlookers, they need a comfortable sleigh to sit in. This is also JCI Kootenay’s responsibility, as we organize Santa’s float every year by borrowing necessary supplies to build one. These decorations were donated years ago though, and are in rough shape. Essentially, Santa’s float is nonexistent, but that doesn’t mean Christmas is cancelled! As the state of the current sleigh is unbecoming of the respect Kris Kringle demands, JCI Kootenay wants to build a brand new long term float in time for the 2015 parade. To achieve the goal, we need to raise some funds to cover the cost. Our objective is to raise
$25,000 in two months (from November 1 to December 31, 2014). We believe this project is very important to the community, and we have already pledged $5,000, leaving a remaining amount of $20,000 to be raised. To show our appreciation of your generosity, your name or company logo will be featured on one of the float’s snowflakes for a five year term for any donation over $500. If you would like to “Support the Clause” and donate, visit our campaign site at www.youcaring.com/supporttheclaus. Donations can also be dropped off at the Bedroom Furniture Galleries, or you can contact devontwarowski@hotmail.com.

On November 19th, 2014, Cranbrook RCMP received a report alleging that a female subject had been held against her will and assaulted at a local residence overnight. Officers immediately responded and a coordinated effort between the general duty and plain clothes officers lead to a very quick arrest of the suspect. The investigation resulted in a 32 year old man being taken into custody and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm, Uttering Threats, Breach of Probation and Fail to Comply with a Recognizance. The victim had been socializing with another individual in Cranbrook when the alleged suspect showed up at the residence. The confinement

and assault of the victim occurred over several hours throughout the early morning hours. Subsequent to the arrest a search warrant was obtained at which time investigators and a forensic identification specialist conducted a examination of the property where the alleged offence took place. 32 year old Christopher Dillon Braun made his first appearance before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and has been remanded to appear in Cranbrook Provincial Court on Monday, November 24th, 2014. The alleged suspect and victim are known to each other and this was not a random attack, S/Sgt. Dubnyk advises.

Wilf Lloyd recounts story of bear attack Continued from page 1 “He was at a full charge — he was about seven yards away. I went to get up and I yelled at Skeet ‘bear,’ and by that time he’d hit me in the chest and rolled me over. I was on my back, and a second later he’s on top of me. His bodyweight was on my legs and his front, forearms and his paws were on my chest. He was pounding me back and forth and growling and making really weird noises. And he’s looking at my face and my throat and I know that’s what he’s trying to do — he’s trying to come in to kill me and close me out. “I’m yelling at Skeet, ‘Shoot him! Get him off me! Shoot him!’” Wilf said. As the bear came down his mouth was
wide open — Wilf stuck his hand right into it. “As he’s clamping down on my hand and biting — within seconds Skeet shoots. I could feel the vibration of the bullet through the bear’s body,” Wilf said. The bear released Wilf’s hand — his eyes rolled in the top of his head and he turned to look at Skeet before returning his attention to Wilf. “I’m trying to kick him off with my legs still, he’s still got me pinned down and I’m yelling at Skeet “Shoot him again, Skeet, shoot him again.” As Skeet took his second shot, Wilf’s leg was pressed into the bear’s mid-section and was hit by a bullet. “The pain was intense and was like a

burn. I look at the bear and now his eyes are focused on me. Again, I said to Skeet ‘shoot him, Skeet, shoot him!’ The bear’s growling and his face starts to come down and that’s when I jammed my right (arm) right down into his throat — he started to clamp down.” The bear’s bite went right to the bone and damaged a nerve that runs to Wilf’s thumb, leaving no feeling there. That’s when Skeet shot the bear again, knocking the bear back. Right away, Wilf said, the bear released Wilf’s arm. He jumped off of Wilf and moved away. Skeet was out of bullets so he came went over and got Wilf’s rifle. “We look over and the bear’s running right at us again, and he’s growling,” Wilf said. Stock quotes as of closing 11/20/14

of the gunshot wound. Skeet also called his cousin who lived nearby. His cousin and others brought a quad down with water and blankets and first aid kit. They were the first one to arrive. From there more people started to arrive, including the paramedics. Fernie Search and Rescue got there and cut trees to clear a trail.

“Skeet swings the gun and shoots him — the bear goes off into the buck brush and down into a little incline. He’s growling and flipping around. “I’m left handed and Skeet’s right handed, so Skeet had to bring his hand over the bolt. It was awkward for him but he jacked another shell into the chamber. And just as he did that, we look up and the bear’s running at us again. So Skeet turned and fired again, and hit him and rolled him again, and as he was laying there, Skeet shot him again. He’s still growling and Skeet’s out of bullets. I had two in my chest pocket and I reached up and handed them to him. And he put those two in and shot him, and that was it.” Skeet said the event was without a doubt the most terrifying thing he’s ever seen, watching a family member being attacked by a 500pound grizzly bear. After the bear was dead, Skeet called 911 and asked for a chopper. He knew he’d have to go to Calgary, or a bigger centre, because

They brought in a basket to to pack Wilf out. The RCMP, the Conservation Officer service were also on hand in a short while. They had to pack Wilf down to the road, where an ambulance picked him up. The STARS helicopter couldn’t land because of mountain drafts so they shut down the nearby highway. The helicopter was able to land in a field near the turnoff to Morrissey. Wilf said STARS saved his life. He lost half his quantity of blood — approximately two and a half litres — but was given a transfusion in the air ambulance. All the while, Wilf said, the pain was excruciating. At Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Wilf had five surgeries in eight days. The bullet had entered his leg in the calf. It hit the lower bone and followed the bone up and shattered the knee, then exited out the top half of his thigh. The first surgery was to stabilize Wilf, as well as clean the damage and the soft tissue. The second surgery was to put a bar into his lower leg and upper leg. “They meet in my kneecap, and there’s some kind of metal gel that is holding everything together because there is no knee,” he said. “So that’s what we’re waiting for — just time to heal. I have a doctor’s appointment in Calgary (this week) and I believe he will cast this leg then because

the wounds will have healed enough. My donor site from the skin graft is all healed — all the wounds had to be skin grafted.” Wilf also had around 50 stitches total put in in both hands. He still can’t put any weight on his wounded leg. He’s tried to go back into his shop to work on taxidermy, he said, but after about five minutes the pain is unbearable. But he is thankful to be alive. “I know there’s a lot of people that don’t survive these kinds of things and I know each day that I got now is truly a blessing and a gift and I don’t take that for granted anymore. “I look forward to each day and getting better and getting back to a normal life.” Skeet is his hero, Wilf said. “He’s the guy that saved my life. I phone him every few days, and there’s no regrets, there’s no looking back,” he said. “Because of what he’s done for me I get to see his kids and my grandkids and I get to see my wife again. “Skeet and I have a bond for the rest of our lives that nobody will ever be able to take away, nobody will ever be able to break and some people will never understand it. And that’s okay. We understand it and I know what he’s done for my family and myself. And there’s not many times in a person’s life when you get to meet a true hero.” As for why the bear attacked him, he said the Conservation Officer couldn’t find a reason. “Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason,” Wilf said. “I’ve guided for bears, I’ve shot some bears. In the Kootenays we go out hunting and we’re in Griz country and we’re always aware of them. Usually it’s the 100 or 300 yards and they see us and run away,” he said. “This one we just don’t know. He was in his bed and didn’t hear us coming. He gets into an area where 30 yards is his safety zone and I’m within that and he charged. It’s all speculation.”

Time for good books - a gift under every tree For the Townsman
This marks the fifth year that Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) has partnered with the Salvation Army and Sunrise Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angel Tree project and the citizens of Cranbrook to provide gift-quality books for toddlers, children, teens and adults for Christmas. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Under Every Tree will be dedicated to the memory of Wilf Williams, who, with his wife Mae, approached CBAL co-ordinator Katherine Hough in 2010 to start the program in Cranbrook. Wilf passed away earlier in the year. Over 300 children received books last year through this program. Collection boxes for
new or gift-quality used books are located at the Cranbrook Public Library, Lotus Books, The Key City Theatre, Christ Church Anglican, Western Financial and the Alliance Church. As well Family Connections at 209 16th Avenue North (formerly the Bingo Hall, next to the Memorial Arena) will be accepting books.

Kimberley RCMP seek information on hit and run For the Townsman
On Friday, Nov. 21, at approximately 10 pm, a pickup truck was reported fishtailing on Dogwood Drive in Kimberley when it struck a parked pickup truck, causing extensive damage to the rear end. The driver fled the scene without stopping. The truck being driven is described as a 20052010 dark coloured extended cab 3/4 ton
Chevy truck. The truck will have body damage to the right front and a headlight out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed the driver was purposefully driving in a reckless manner rather than simply losing control in the snow.

CALLING ALL SCOUTS
Keeping the dream alive
F
or any professional hockey scouts out there, there is a hotbed of potential in Cranbrook. After all, this is the city that has produced players such as sibling duo Rob and Scott Niedermayer, Jon Klemm and Brad Lukowich. All four have won an obscure trophy known as the Stanley Cup, which, for whatever reason, every professional hockey player seems to covet. Cranbrook has not only birthed professional hockey players, but high-calibre coaches as well. Tom Renney has run the bench with the Vancouver Canucks, New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers and now heads up Hockey Canada. So on that note, I encourage professional and amateur scouts, or anybody who has an appreciation for The Greatest Game on Earth, to make a trip out to the Kinsmen Arena on Friday mornings. Show up at 8:30 a.m. and prepare to be amazed. There are at least a dozen skaters out there who are just waiting to ink their names to free agent contracts. And I guarantee any professional hockey franchise they’ll come cheap. Some may call them washed-up. Some may question their skill. Some will definitely say they’re out of shape. I would know, because I’m one of them. That’s right — journalism is just a front, a temporary job that will pay the bills until I get picked up and make my way to the show. Blast that Tom Cochrane song — I’m
going to the Big League. The rest of my fellow crew are pretty much in the same situation. We figured it would be best to practice and scrimmage together to stay in game-shape. Facing adversity together and all that. Being a professional hockey player has always been a goal of mine, and apparently, the rest of the Friday morning crew as well. Even though some of us have careers, marriages, and kids, judging by the fast-paced and skilled nature of our Trevor Crawley games, the dream is still alive. Granted, hope is slim, but our bodies are still healthy enough that we just can’t justify a straightup retirement from the game. There’s a diverse mix as well, and pro teams have all kinds of holes to fill on their rosters. Need a pure goal scorer? We got that. Need a puck-moving defenceman? We got that. Need a goaltender who can fill the net? We got that. We have other kinds of players too, but it’s a lot harder to classify their specific, uh, talents. Personally, I consider myself a late-bloomer. My dreams of playing high-level hockey were crushed when I was the final cut from my PeeWee tier 2 team many, many years ago when I was 12 years old. From there, it was a long road to getting noticed by those in the upper echelons of high-performance hockey locally and
abroad. I stopped growing at 15 years old and, at an undersized 5’5”, became a convenient target in the corners for all the bigger guys out there. Scouts finally started hearing about a kid named Crawley tearing it up on the ice, but that turned out to be my younger brother, who went on to play four years of junior hockey up the highway with the Fernie Ghostriders. But now, this is my chance to turn some heads, and I encourage any scouts who want to be amazed or to have a good laugh to come check us out. It’ll even be free of charge. We’re all pretty confident that some of us, heck, maybe even all of us, will get that phone call eventually. Some of you may be doubtful of our aspirations to play professionally — you wouldn’t be the first — but don’t doubt this: 17 hockey players from Cranbrook have played in the NHL. It may not be us, but I don’t doubt that the city will add to that number in the future. I recently saw Public Works flooding Baker Park for the initial stages of the community rink that goes in every year. If scouts get bored of our Friday morning showcase — hard to believe, I know — they should wander over there to get a good look at the next up-and-comer. Because the odds are certainly stacked against us.

Opinion/Events
Your article “Official results released” from the 20 November edition (page 5) reads, “Out of the electors who voted, 344 were newly registered.” There were, however, some problems with the voting list come election day. I have been a permanent resident of Cranbrook since December, 2002, and have voted in municipal elections since then. The day following the candidates’ debate earlier this month, I visited City Hall to confirm that my name was on the voting list, and it was in fact there — I even saw it myself. However, on voting day, my name no longer appeared on the list, and it was requested that I be registered to vote. Personnel at the registration table confirmed that many people had also experienced the same problem. I did not look at it as such a critical problem because I have all the time in the world, but too many people like to live their lives “in the fast lane” and could be discouraged to cast their votes in future elections.
I therefore recommend to the proper authorities that greater attention to detail be implemented in order to prevent such problems from happening in the future, for the sake of democracy. Andre Leblanc Cranbrook
Cranbrook cannon
Firstly, let me say how much I enjoy the weekly appearance of the Janus Then & Now in the Townsman. It is a highlight for me weekly. The article in Nov. 14th’s edition on our field pieces (cannon) from World War 1 was well done and interesting, but I think it is worthwhile to point out an unintentional oversight. The article states this field piece is sitting in a local hotel parking lot, which is correct, but it is worth noting, that the reason it is there, is that it is the entrance to our Royal Canadian Legion Branch #24. We are the proud owners of this excellent piece of our military history and as a reminder of the hor-
rible price paid by our forefathers. It is there for all the citizens of Cranbrook to enjoy. Neil Matheson Cranbrook
Thanks and good luck
I would like to give a most appreciative thanks to the 1,638 people who voted for me in the municipal election last week. Sorry, I didn’t make it, but I hope I did a few things that met your approval during my three years on council. And if you think I could help on any civic matter in the future, don’t hesitate to call. I also wish the new council administration a rewarding and successful four years in office, and with all the hard work and energy you displayed in the campaign, I don’t doubt you’ll have an enjoyable and productive term. Gerry Warner Cranbrook
A snap election in Japan
“I
need to hear the voice of the people,” said Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “I will step down if we fail to keep our majority because that would mean our Abenomics is rejected.” And with that feeble excuse he announced that he was calling an election two years earlier than necessary, on 14 December. “Abenomics”, the prime minister’s drastic strategy for kick-starting Japan out of twenty years of deflation and economic stagnation, has not actually been rejected by the public, but it is failing nevertheless. After an initial burst of growth last year, Japan has fallen into a recession despite the trillions of yen that the central bank has pumped into the economy. Japanese voters would love to see “Abenomics” succeed. It’s no fun living in a no-growth economy, and Abe’s plan was the first they had seen in a long time that had even a chance of turning that around. But two years in the kick-start has stalled, and Abe’s public approval rating recently fell below 50 percent for the first time. Maybe he’s just going for another four years now because he fears that later the prospects will be even worse. To be fair to the prime minister, “Abenomics” didn’t actually cause the recession. The problem was that Abe raised the sales tax from 5 percent to 8 percent last April, in obedience to a law passed by the previous government. Unfortunately, Japanese consumers responded by cutting their spending, especially on big-ticket items – and so the economy tumbled into recession. Abe has learned his lesson, and he is now promising that the scheduled second
rise in the sales tax next year, from 8 percent to 10 percent, will be postponed until 2017 if he wins the election. In fact, he is portraying the election as a referendum on whether the public wants him to kill the next tax rise – as if they were likely to demand that he go ahead with it. If he can keep the debate centred on the economy, Abe should cruise to an easy victory, for the opposition parties are divided and disorganised and have no plausible alternative solution. However, if the focus Gwynne shifts to Abe’s plans to restart the country’s nuclear Dyer power stations and remove the pacifist elements from the Japanese constitution, the election’s outcome will get much harder to predict. On the nuclear issue, as on the sales tax, Abe is doing the sensible thing. Nuclear power used to provide 30 percent of Japan’s electrical power, and the shutdown of all the country’s reactors has compelled it to spend huge amounts of money on imported energy. It’s now high time to turn the nuclear reactors on again. But the Japanese public, post-Fukushima, has an acute nuclear allergy, and the opposition to re-starting the reactors is large, vocal, and well-organised. If that becomes a central election issue, Abe will lose a lot of votes. And then there’s the constitutional question. Abe has long detested the constitution, written by Americans during the post-1945 occupation, that forbids Japan to send military forces abroad. He says he wants to rewrite it to allow Japan to send its troops to the aid of allies who are under attack. His critics see it as the entering wedge for a full-scale remilitarisation of

the country. “The global situation surrounding Japan is getting ever more difficult,” Abe said in a televised press conference last summer, in an attempt to justify his proposed constitutional changes. He was really talking about the growing tension and even hostility between Tokyo and Beijing, of course, and China’s Xinhua news agency replied with an editorial that verged on the hysterical. Abe is “leading his country on a dangerous path” by “gutting the constitution,” Xinhua wrote. “No matter how Abe glosses over it, he is dallying with the spectre of war.” And it really doesn’t help that some of Abe’s hard-right friends and political associates dabble in anti-Chinese invective and deny Japan’s war crimes before and during the Second World War. There are a great many people in Japan who find this attempt to change the constitution frightening. Nobody knows exactly how many (it depends on how the opinion pollsters pose the question), but it may well be a majority. So Abe really needs to keep this from becoming the dominant issue in the election. The fact that it will be a relatively short campaign helps Abe, but if these two issues catch fire he will be in serious difficulty. It’s unlikely that his Liberal Democratic Party, in power for 53 of the past 59 years, will actually lose control of the Lower House of the Diet, but it could lose enough seats to force him to drop his nuclear and constitutional projects. And there is an outside chance that he could actually lose the election. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Still swingin’
Kootenay Ice rattle off three wins in three nights Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice continue to find ways to win and each night they seem to discover a new key to success. The Ice rattled off three wins in three nights this weekend, including a decisive victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes, a shutout of the Medicine Hat Tigers and a come-from-behind triumph over the Moose Jaw Warriors. “Chasing these guys in the standings, those two points are big,” said Ice forward Levi Cable after the team’s 7-3 win over Moose Jaw Sunday evening. “They’re going to be big down the line. We really needed all six points this weekend. “We’ve got to keep the things that we’re doing right. We’ve got to keep those going. Continuing to work hard and work together as a team. It’ll come just as it is now.” The successful weekend pushed the Ice ever closer to .500 as they sit 11-14-0-0 through 25 games. Friday night, the magic of Tim Bozon and Sam Reinhart continued to open doors for the Ice in a 5-1 victory over the Hurricanes. Bozon recorded two goals an assist, while Reinhart set up both Bozon’s tallies, including the game-winner, en route to staking his claim as the Kootenay Ice all-time franchise leader in assists. “I’ve obviously played with a lot of good players, starting with my brother [Max] in my first year,” Reinhart said Friday night. “Descheneau, Bozon, Philp -- I don’t want to get into
too much name calling because I’ve played with so many good guys. Playing with guys who can put the puck in the net [helps]. “Anytime you can put your name beside an established player in the National Hockey League like Jarret Stoll, it’s pretty exciting.” Reinhart set the mark after playing 209 WHL games with the Ice. For Stoll, an NHL mainstay with the Los Angeles Kings, it took 245 games to get to 162 helpers. The North Vancouver native continued his productive weekend with an assist in Medicine Hat before notching three more helpers Sunday against Moose Jaw. The added production extended Reinhart’s point streak to eight games in which he’s scored four goals and 14 assists. No opponent has managed to hold Reinhart off the scoresheet since he returned to the Ice from the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. “He sees the ice really well,” Bozon said of his linemate. “Before he gets the puck, he knows exactly where we are on the ice. He’s got great vision and he’s a great passer. I know Sammy likes to score goals, but I think his strength is to pass the puck. He’s a great playmaker. “He deserves [the record]. He worked hard for it. It’s a positive thing for him. I know he was disappointed coming back from the NHL. Now, he’s got a record in his hands and people will remember him forever.” Saturday, the Ice traveled to Medicine Hat, exacting revenge on the Tigers in a 3-0
shutout victory. Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin locked down the Ice cage, turning in a 48save performance that stands as the most stops in a shutout by any WHL goaltender so far this season. Forward Jaedon Descheneau tallied a first-period power-play goal. Combined with Hoflin’s stellar performance, that’s all the visitors needed to steal two points from the Tigers. Sunday night, it was the Kootenay Ice third line holding the keys to success. Matt Alfaro, Jon Martin and Levi Cable combined for four goals, powering the Ice to a sixgoal, third-period comeback win over the visiting Moose Jaw Warriors. Martin, playing the 200th game of his WHL career, registered a goal and three assists to lead the charge. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 210 pounds, the big-bodied winger missed significant time with an upper-body injury this season, having only skated in 10 of the team’s 25 contests thus far. He returned to the Kootenay Ice lineup Friday night against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. “I was out for a month. It was definitely really good to get back,” Martin said Sunday. “I was a little bit nervous coming back in with my shoulder [injury] and everything, but things are going good.” Warriors goaltender Brody Willms, 16, made his first-career WHL start Sunday evening. Willms was solid through 40 minutes, holding the Ice to one goal on 27 shots. But the

In a matter of 5:20, Cable scored both the tying and winning goals, before Martin chipped in with an insurance marker. Alfaro rounded out the trio’s scoring, depositing the seventh puck past Willms with a nasty wrist shot late in the period. Next up, the Ice (1114-0-0) head out on a three-game American road trip, beginning Friday, Nov. 28 against the Portland Winterhawks (11-12-0-3).

Hamilton Tiger-Cats advance to Grey Cup Dan R alph Canadian Press
HAMILTON - Brandon Banks returned two punts for touchdowns to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup, defeating the Montreal Alouettes
40-24 in the East Division final Sunday. Banks had an 88-yard TD return with 4:05 left in the fourth quarter, an amazing outcome considering Banks was completely surrounded by Montreal defenders after
corralling Sean Whyte’s kick. But the five-footseven 153-pound speedster - whose nickname is Speedy - somehow found a seam, then sprinted along the sidelines to put Hamilton ahead 37-24.
Banks had an 93yard TD return earlier in the game and also took another back 78 yards for touchdown that was called back by a holding penalty. He returned five punts for a playoff-record 226 yards.

The win, which improved Hamilton’s record at Tim Hortons Field to 7-0, delighting the enthusiastic sellout crowd of 24,334. The victory was especially sweet for a Ticats squad that held its
tongue last week as Montreal players Duron Carter, Bear Woods and S.J Green all publicly stated the Alouettes would emerge victorious. Hamilton beat the Alouettes 29-15 at Tim Hortons Field to clinch
first in the East and home-field advantage for the division final. The Ticats will face the Calgary Stampeders in the Grey Cup Nov. 30 at B.C. Place. Hamilton hasn’t won a CFL title since 1999.

Calgary Stampeders Kickin’ it in Kalispell advance to Grey Cup
Donna Spencer Canadian Press
CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders are a win away from capping a stellar season with a Grey Cup. After matching the franchise’s best record of 15-3, Calgary will play the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL’s championship game Nov. 30 in Vancouver. The Stampeders were efficient and versatile in a 43-18 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in Sunday’s West Division final. With the Eskimos limiting the top rushing offence in the league, the Stampeders won it in the air. Calgary claimed the Grey Cup in John Hufnagel’s first year as head coach and GM in 2008. Upset losses at home in the West final to Saskatchewan in 2010 and 2013 - when Calgary’s records were 13-5 and 14-4 respectively - were deflating conclusions to outstanding campaigns. Despite a regular-season record of 8837-1 in Hufnagel’s seven seasons at the helm, Calgary’s only other appearance in a Grey Cup was in 2012 when they lost to the Toronto Argonauts. “We’ve been working for so long and we’ve experienced so much disappointment,” Stampeder running back Jon Cornish said. “I want to win this Grey Cup, not for personal gain, but for every single person in this locker-room, every single person on
the support staff and every single coach. They’re the people that deserve this.” The Stampeders went 15-3 three straight seasons from 1993 to 1995, but did not win the Grey Cup under Wally Buono. Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell threw a pair of touchdown strikes to Eric Rogers, had touchdown throws to Cornish and Marquay McDaniel and ran the ball in for a TD of his own against the Esks. Cornish scored his second touchdown of the game on a two-yard run late in the fourth quarter. The CFL’s rushing leader was held to 54 yards on 14 carries, but Cornish made his impact in the game as a receiver. He totalled 120 yards on four catches. One of them was a 78-yard rumble for a touchdown in the second quarter. Edmonton starter Mike Reilly was 20-for33 in passing for 216 yards and was intercepted twice. He threw touchdown passes to Paris Jackson and Adarius Bowman in the third quarter when he was injured on the last two plays. Reilly did not return for the fourth quarter, when backup Matt Nichols completed nine of 15 passes for 92 yards. Hugh O’Neill kicked a 42-yard field goal for the visitors. Cornish, who is from New Westminster B.C., said he spent some time
at his mother’s condominium in Vancouver in the off-season, looking across the water to B.C. Place and thinking about the 2014 Grey Cup. “I sat out and just thought about what it would feel like to go to B.C. Place,” Cornish recalled. The Tiger-Cats earned their second consecutive trip to the championship game with a 40-24 win over the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division final. So this year’s Grey Cup will feature teams who have been disappointed in it recently. Hamilton lost 45-23 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year in Regina, while Calgary fell 35-22 to the host Argonauts two years ago. “We had the trouble in 2012 winning the Grey Cup and they had trouble winning it last year, so we’re both hungry,” Mitchell said. “Neither team is going to be celebrating this win too long. It’s going to be a great game. It’s going to be a dogfight.” With weather a non-factor indoors, the Stampeders will be the favourite against a team that was 9-9 in the regular season. Calgary was 2-0 versus Hamilton this season with scores of 10-7 and 30-20. The Stampeders offence had the ball for 12 and a half minutes in Sunday’s first half compared to Edmonton’s time of possession of 17:34. Mitchell made the most of his time with the ball. He threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns on just eight passes as well as rushing for one himself. The 24-year-old Texan won his first career playoff start completing 14 of 22 passes for 336 yards and

Cranbrook White Tiger Tae Kwon Do Club travelled to Kalispell, Mon., to compete in the Big Sky Championships Nov. 8. This is a tournament that draws competitors from the states of Idaho, Washington and Montana. Our club was the lone parfour touchdowns without an interception. “We had to make some hay in the air because we weren’t doing very much on the ground, especially in the first half,” Hufnagel said. “I thought Bo played an excellent football game. He threw the ball with great accuracy, he handled the pressure, kept his poise and didn’t make any major mistakes.” Winning the division and earning a bye week in the post-season helped Calgary get healthy on offence as Mitchell had multiple targets with which to work. The temperature at Sunday’s kickoff was zero under cloudy skies with a light wind out of the south. Attendance was announced at

ticipant from Canada. With 15 competitors, the club showed very well, with many students placing in the top three. This was a full contact tournament for all competitors green belt and above. It was a good challenge for the students because there is no head con-
31,004, but there was ample room in McMahon Stadium’s stands. Reilly can inflict damage with his legs, but his mobility was compromised by a late-season foot injury that’s been reported as a broken bone. The Eskimos quarterback looked winded when he was sacked by Simpson late in the first half. Reilly remained in the game to throw a pair of touchdown passes in the third quarter. He was tackled hard by Shawn Lemon and sacked again by Simpson on the final two plays of the quarter. Reilly was taken by motorized cart to the visitors’ dressing room early in the fourth quarter. Reilly indicated he’d reinjured his foot on the
tact in B.C. until competitors reach a black belt level. This was a great challenge as students had to make the adjustment from no head contact to full head contact. Sarah Jewsbury and Dawsen Stanley won gold medals in sparring.
Lemon tackle. “It made my whole leg sore, knee and everything,” Reilly said. “I don’t think that it really did much damage and then the last play that I was in, I’m not really sure what happened, but when I went to stand up I just couldn’t put any pressure on it.” Eskimos head coach Chris Jones was Hufnagel’s defensive co-ordinator from 2008 to 2011 and held the same position with the Argonauts when they beat Calgary in the Grey Cup two years ago. Edmonton held Calgary’s running game in check, but the Eskimos backfield was beaten by the athleticism of receivers Rogers and McDaniel and the relentless legs of Cornish. “Unfortunately we
didn’t play our best football tonight,” Jones said. “Calgary’s a very, very well coached and very good football team. You’ve got to give all the credit to them. They came out with a good game plan. They executed and kudos to them.” Notes: Calgary defensive tackle Charleston Hughes played in the first half for his first game action since injuring his foot Sept. 13, but did not appear in the second half. Hufnagel said following the game the CFL’s defensive player of the year in 2013 injured his other foot . . .

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll assume a strategic role in whatever is going on around you. You are a natural leader. Listen to your inner voice in an interaction with a higher-up. Trust your gut and your decisions. Tonight: Find a more effective way of clearing out stress and frustration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are capable of seeing the bigger picture. Your ability to sense which way would be the best to proceed is likely to kick in. A friend might be able to offer yet another perspective. The more you understand, the better your choices will be. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll be ready to move in a new direction, but you could feel hesitant, as you might not be in agreement with someone else who is involved. See how you feel after you have an important conversation with this person. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, and understand where they are coming from. Your ability to identify with people often proves helpful. A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring through a special invitation. With less responsibility, you will have some extra time. Tonight: Out and about! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a unique ability to draw others toward you. Be careful, as there could be an innate competitiveness for your attention. Everyone will expect to feel the most important to you, because that is how you make each of them feel most of the time. Tonight: Run errands. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Some of you might be too distracted to focus on anything except a situation that seems to be consuming your life. Prioritize, and complete what is on your mind first. Later, you will be able to pay more attention on other concerns. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be taken aback by
Tundra
everything that is happening around you. In fact, you might need to isolate yourself in order to complete what you feel is imperative. Brainstorm with a friend or loved one who tends to be inspirational. Tonight: Buy a favorite treat on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You tend to be discreet, but you love the limelight, too. You might find that you are struggling between practical concerns and wanting to impress others. Know that you don’t have to look at this situation in all black-or-white terms. Tonight: Return calls and emails. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be able to get whatever you want right now, but understand that cost might be an issue. You also will want to evaluate the emotional toll it could take on you. You are an impulsive sign, so pat yourself on the back for thinking before acting. Tonight: Treat yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your high energy will spur you to embrace what lies ahead. Tame a need to be glorified, as
this characteristic will not serve you well. Keep your eye on the big picture and on your objectives, and you are likely to succeed. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others seek you out. You love being around people, but you could have a personal matter in your head that is draining you. You might want to consider asking for a rain check, and then planning a visit in the near future. Tonight: Take a much-needed personal night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) With so much going on, you might need to zero in on your priorities. Some of you will have meetings to schedule; others will have personal matters to handle. Regardless, you are a sign that flourishes around people. Tonight: Be where your friends are.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My sister-in-law and I exchange babysitting for our young children. I have three under the age of 5, and she has two. It is mutually beneficial except for one thing: If the kids break something at her house, she demands that I pay for it. Recently this included getting her couch professionally cleaned after all of the children, not just mine, drew on it with pens. I was fine with footing the bill, until something at my house was damaged, and her response was to laugh it off and say, “Well, you should have been watching them!” I do not appreciate the double standard. Is there some kind of rule as to who should pay for the damage? -- Stuck with the Bill No Matter What in Oregon Dear Stuck: If one child is unusually destructive or breaks something particularly valuable, the parents should make an effort to reimburse for damages. However, if all of the children play in roughly the same way, it’s simply the cost of doing business. Discuss this with your sister-in-law and agree that you either split the costs or no one pays. If necessary, put it in writing. Dear Annie: I have a severe allergy to cats. I went through a five-year course of allergy shots and take an antihistamine every day, but I can still have a reaction when visiting the home of a friend with a cat. Many people don’t truly understand how severe the problem is. I would like to make a few suggestions: 1. Please don’t be offended if I ask you about your cats, am hesitant to visit your home or need to leave early. This isn’t personal. It is a medical issue. 2. Many people vacuum just before an allergic friend arrives. This actually makes the problem worse because it sprays allergens into the air that hang suspended for hours. Instead, vacuum hours earlier, and then open all of the windows to air out the house. Consider purchasing a HEPA-filtered vacuum. And please realize that the more people present the more the allergens are stirred up. I am unlikely to want to attend a large party in your home. Again, it’s not personal. 3. Please provide a surface to sit on that has not been previously occupied by the cat. Consider having the visit in an uncarpeted area. And keep the cat confined the whole time. I know your cat is adorable, but I can’t have it rub against me. 4. I appreciate your invitations to reciprocate, but I am very uncomfortable in your home. Instead, you can “host” by bringing dinner to me. 5. If you have an allergic friend or relative and you do not currently have a cat, consider adopting something else. If you get a cat, expect visits to your house to diminish. And consider the message you are sending to that friend or relative. I hope this helps people understand that we cat-allergic people are just trying to maintain friendships the best we can. It would be a lovely gesture if our friends could accommodate this one part of who we are that is so inconvenient. -- Trying My Best Dear Trying: We know some folks will decide you are too much trouble to accommodate. But for those who value these relationships, this will help them understand how difficult and dangerous it is for you to be exposed to cats. We like the idea of friends bringing dinner to your place (or maybe inviting you to join them at a restaurant) to reciprocate. We hope they will. Dear Annie: The letter from “Unforgiven,” who inadvertently left her brother’s stepson out of her father’s obituary, touched my heart. May I suggest that she offer to publish an anniversary notice in the newspaper, in which the stepson is not only mentioned, but invited to participate in writing? If that doesn’t soothe the sister-in-law, there’s more to the issue. -- Sheila in Massachusetts Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
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. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
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.

Community Snapshot
Western Financial Place and the Kootenay Ice hosted the annual School Spirit Night Wednesday, Nov. 19, during the WHL contest between the Kootenay Ice and the Medicine Hat Tigers. Students from elementary schools in Cranbrook turned out to cheer on the Ice, with a chance to win some cash. Exuberance paid off. Kootenay Christian Academy and St. Mary’s Elementary tied for first place — each school received $500 cash from Western Financial Group. Highlands Elementary came in second, and took home a $400 prize. At left, top to bottom: St. Mary’s Elementary, Kootenay Christian Academy, Highlands. Right, top to bottom.
