Guilty as charged: 2nd degree murder verdict for Learn TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Staff
Cheyenne Learn was found guilty of second-degree murder by Justice Dev Dley to conclude his trial in the shooting death of Tammy Ellis in December 2007. Learn was previously
convicted of second degree murder in his first trial in 2009, but that was overturned on appeal in 2013 and he was awarded a new trial. Second degree murder carries a life sentence, but crown and defence counsel
will appear before Dley again in January to argue parole eligibility, which generally ranges anywhere from 10-25 years. Dley made his judgement following an analysis of credibility of the evidence and testimony submitted by all
the witnesses during the trial. “Mr. Learn shot and killed Tammy Ellis,” said Dley, as he opened his ruling. “The issue is whether it was second-degree murder or manslaughter.” He concluded elements
of testimony from Learn and from his ex-girlfriend were unreliable. The ex-girlfriend’s name is protected by a publication ban and will be referred to as B.L. He said there were discrepancies from the first trial to this past one in regards to
testimony from B.L. and Learn noting that it is unrealistic to assume that memory gets better with time. Dley also said that B.L. was evasive and argumentative during her questioning, and had misled police in her statement to police describing the nature of her absences from the residence in which she trafficked cocaine. Dley also noted inconsistencies in Learn’s testimony, noting that there were additional details his version of events that weren’t on record in the first trial.

The size of forest fires we see in the Southern Interior could double in the next 65 years according to the province. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations released a report on climate change adaptation for wildlife management. The report noted that severe future wildlife conditions as a result of climate change are predicted for this region based on an temperature increase of four degrees celsius by 2080. That includes: • increased fire size, doubling from an average of 7,961 ha to 19,076 ha;

Kimberley Alpine Resort
‘Day to day’ on hill opening Warm temperatures and rain put December 12 opening in doubt
CAROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin
With opening day scheduled for December 12, management at the Kimberley Alpine Resort is waiting for a little help from Mother Nature to make the call on whether the lift will run this Friday morning. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not appear to be in a cooperative state of mind at the moment. After a couple of seasons of great snow for opening day things are a little more tenuous this year as above-average temperatures and rain are forecast to continue through to Sunday. “Kimberley Alpine Resort team is working around the clock to do whatever we can to get resort open,” said Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Matt Mosteller, Wednesday. “We still need some more support from Mother Nature and we waiting to see what happens with the storms this week. Right now we have not made any decision.” In addition to the rain, warm temperatures mean no snowmaking. The Resort did announce this week that they will push back the annual Community Day, a free day of skiing and riding for locals, to January 11, 2015. Burgers will be available for $2 supporting a local charity - residents can go to Guest Services and receive a voucher that will entitle them to a hamburger for only $2. TELUS Winter Sports School invites beginner skiers or snowboarders to a complimentary lesson. There will be a total of 20 ski and 20 snowboard spots available, with 1 hour lessons
starting at 10:30am and 1:30am. Space is limited and guests must pre-register at Guest Services at 250-427-4881. Lessons will include a voucher for FREE equipment rentals at the Rental Shop! Please note that these lessons are for new skiers and snowboarders only.
Please note that Photo ID and proof of local residency (driver’s license, pay stub etc.) are required to receive the lift ticket. Tickets are only valid on January 11th and snow cheques will not be issued on complimentary tickets. Complimentary tickets are available to residents
of Canal Flats, Skookumchuck, Meadowbrook, TaTa Creek, Kimberley, Marysville, Wasa, Wycliffe, Moyie, and Cranbrook. A huge thanks goes out to barbecue sponsors including Sysco, Heinz, Maple Leaf, Vitality, Saputo.

Forest fires could double in size Continued from page 1
• increased fire severity by 40 per cent in spring, 95 per cent in summer and 30 per cent in fall; • increased fire season length and fire frequency by 30 per cent; • increase in crown fire ignition and severe fire behaviour by four to seven per cent; and a decrease in extent of fire free areas by 39 per cent. The cost of suppression response is also rising, and right along with it, the cost of economic losses. These include losses to communities, natural resource values and midterm timber supply. The Insurance Bureau of Canada is predicting an increase of severe wildfires by 50 per cent or more from
now until 2050. At the same time costs of suppression will increase, effectiveness of response will decrease. “The only cost effective way to address the situation is to utilize landscape fire management and wildland urban interface fuel reduction to proactively protect communities and natural resource values,” the report states. The ministry said that climate change, new fuel types created by mountain pine beetle and increasing urban development will increase wildfire threats to communities and natural resource values in a significant manner.

Guilty verdict in Cheyenne Learn trial Continued from page 1 Learn had testified about his vision being a grey haze and that Ellis’ voice was like being in a tunnel during an argument directly before the shooting—details which never came up in the 2009 trial because Learn claimed he wasn’t asked about them. “I do not accept that important evidence was overlooked because he wasn’t asked,” said Dley.
Dley also said Learn had a selective memory on the night of the shooting due to his gross intoxication, as he remembered certain parts of the night, such as leaving his trailer and being inside the residence, but being unable to recall pulling the trigger or leaving the house. He concluded that Learn’s testimony was
not credible when it came to details on the shooting and his actions before, during and afterwards. In reaching a second-degree murder conviction, Dley noted that Crown had to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Learn intended to kill Ellis or cause bodily harm leading to death. Dley referred to precedents established in
other cases submitted by both the crown and defence, but noted that “drunken intent is still intent.” Directly prior to the shooting, Learn and Ellis had an argument, where he claims she insulted his manhood by bring up intimacy issues between him and B.L. Dley also concluded that the legal threshold wasn’t met for a defence of provocation.
Ellis died on Dec. 17, 2007 after sustaining a shotgun wound to the back after Learn kicked in the door, entered the home and pulled the trigger on a modified sawed-off shotgun. Two eyewitnesses, including the homeowner and B.L. were present in the room when the incident occurred. Learn fled the scene and tossed the gun over the bridge into a snowbank by Joseph Creek on 4th street behind the Save-on-Foods. He was in a relationship with B.L. for two years, as both abused alcohol and marijuana on a near-daily basis. A month before the incident, B.L. began trafficking cocaine for income as the two
Cheyenne Learn began planning a move to Kelowna, though B.L. claims she sold drugs as a way to make money in an attempt to escape the relationship. Ellis met B.L. a few weeks before the incident and introduced her to crack cocaine. Learn had testified he was concerned about her drug use following a
late phone call the night before the shooting where she had used crack and was crying and complaining about a lump in her throat. Learn testified he consumed three coolers, a two-litre of cider and half a mickey before heading over to the residence on his bike to shoot out the engine block of B.L.’s jeep as part of a plan to stop her from trafficking drugs. He waited outside the house until B.L. showed up shortly after his arrival, and he decided not to carry out his plan in fear of being caught. That testimony led Dley to conclude that Learn was able to reason and foresee consequences stemming from his actions.

Local NEWS Cranbrook Chamber holds last luncheon of 2014
A r n e Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce had its year-end meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 10. Members and guests gathered for lunch and presentations at the Heritage Inn ballroom, as incoming and outgoing chamber board members spoke about their time there and their hopes for the future. Karen Penner has been the Chamber director for over 30 years and is retiring this year. Penner said it’s been a blessing to represent the community and the Chamber at events in the Cranbrook and throughout the province. “There’s so much I cherish from my time with the staff at the Chamber. They have influenced, challenged and amused me. They have become family over the years and I love them dearly. I had passion for my job and a deep pride for my community. And so with love and respect I thank you for sharing this incredible journey with me.” She noted some of those opportunities: hosting the 1986 B.C. Summer Games; celebrating the 100th anniversary of this Chamber; carrying the Olympic torch in 2010; accepting the Chamber of the Year award in 2011; and being a member of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce Executives. Penner said there were fewer than 100 members when they started the Chamber and now there are 476. There were only five people at the first Chamber lunch, but Wednesday’s filled the ballroom to capacity. “It was your collective energy and involvement that provided the strength and reason as my career evolved,” Penner said to the crowd. “You enabled me to see what was truly possible. There are those who say that this Chamber is to strong, and to those I say good on you… I hope you continue to grow and get even stronger.” She said it’s great that there are members who are not afraid to tackle challenging issues. She said last week’s
turkey drive was magical. “It’s the best day of the year,” she said. “It truly is Christmas spirit.” David Hull is the Chamber’s new executive director. “I came from a long, storied career in private enterprise and took a two year contract to work for a Chamber 10 years ago and it turned into a love affair for Chambers, Chamber management and the good work Chambers do across the towns, the regions, the provinces and the countries,” Hull said. He also noted that Karen Penner’s legacy is noted across the province for her work in all facets of how to operations and best practices for Chambers. David Struthers is the new president, taking over the David Butler. Butler reflected on the productive year of the Chamber. “One of our goals was to be more relevant to more businesses,” Butler said. “I’m proud to confirm that thanks to the hard work of our amazing staff team and a committed board of local business leaders — 14 of them — we made significant progress towards that goal this year.” Sixty-three new businesses joined the Chamber in 2014. The Chamber also announced the Citizen of the Year for 2014: Derek Korschaga. A special ceremony will be held in January marking the honour. Townsman editor Barry Coulter gave humorous review of the year, and also sang a song for Cranbrook and to celebrate Penner’s time with the Chamber. Jason Wheeldon and Warren Bedell announced that last week’s Chamber sponsored turkey shattered last year’s record, raising more than $40,600 for the Salvation Army and Cranbrook Food Bank Society, to help everyone in the community enjoy a festive Christmas. The funds were presented to Nancy Lemire representing the Salvation Army, and Gerry Oviatt of the Cranbrook Food Bank Society.

CIA and torture: Time to move on?
W
hen somebody says it is time to move on, it means there is something deeply embarrassing that they don’t want to discuss in public. President Barack Obama said that about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report, published on Tuesday, about the Central Intelligence Agency’s use of torture in the years after 9/11. He put the best face on it after Senator Dianne Feinstein’s committee released the 528-page report anyway, talking about how “part of what sets us (Americans) apart is that when we do something wrong, we acknowledge it.” But as recently as Friday US Secretary of State John Kerry urged Feinstein not to release the report now on the grounds that the “timing” was wrong. When would it be right, then? Feinstein ignored him because she knew (as did he) that if the report was not put out now, it never would be. Next month a new Congress will take office, and the majority on the new Senate Intelligence Committee will be Republicans. They would certainly make sure that it never sees the light of day. But there is one Republican Senator, at least, who thinks differently. John McCain, who ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential election, said bluntly that torture “rarely yields credible information....What might come as a surprise, not just to our enemies, but to many Americans, is how little these practices did to aid our efforts to bring 9/11 culprits to justice and to find and prevent terrorist attacks today and tomorrow.” McCain was severely tortured himself while a prisoner-of-war in North Vietnam in 1968, and eventually made an anti-American propaganda “confession”. As he later said: “I had learned what we all
learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine.” But then, he knows more about this subject than any other American politician, and probably more than any CIA torturer. They were never at the receiving end. Even McCain, however, confined himself to saying that torture was not a useful instrument of American policy. He avoided talking about the more important fact that it is also a grave crime under international law, because that would mean admitting that senior officials in former president George W Bush’s Republiadministrations who Gwynne can authorised the torture in 2002-06 – possibly even inDyer cluding Bush himself – should face prosecution. Almost every senior American politician will avoid talking about that. The debate in the United States will be between those who insist that the waterboarding, regular beatings, “stress positions”, ice baths, sleep deprivation, “rectal feeding”, and other torture techniques used on captives in the CIA’s “black sites” yielded useful information and saved American lives, and those who say that it was all pointless and useless. The Senate committee’s report provides fuel for this debate, examining twenty cases of counterterrorism “successes” achieved by torture that the CIA has used to justify its actions. Even now, CIA Director John Brennan defends the torture, claiming that “the intelligence gained from the programme was critical to our understanding of al-Qaeda.” But the committee concludes that not one case produced unique or otherwise unavailable intelligence. But this is all beside the point. The law doesn’t say that torture is a crime unless it produces useful intelligence, any more than it says that murder is a crime unless it is profitable. It simply says that torture is a
crime, always and in any circumstances. As it should. The American Civil Liberties Union, to its credit, says that the attorney general should appoint a special prosecutor to conduct “an independent and complete investigation of Bush administration officials who created, approved, carried out and covered up the torture programme....In our system, no one should be above the law, yet only a handful of mainly low-level personnel have been criminally prosecuted for abuse. That is a scandal.” But the discussion about punishing the people who committed these crimes will mostly be conducted outside the United States, and it won’t be conducted by governments. The several dozen American allies that were accomplices in the CIA’s “Rendition, Detention and Interrogation” programme, have all exercised their right to have information about their collaboration removed from the report. The debate will therefore have to take place in the media and in the international organisations. United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism Ben Emmerson, for example, said in Geneva that senior officials from the Bush administration who planned and sanctioned these crimes must be prosecuted, as well as CIA and US government officials responsible for torture such as waterboarding. “As a matter of international law,” Emmerson said, “the US is legally obliged to bring those responsible to justice.” Well, yes, but you would be wise not to hold your breath while waiting for this to happen. So far, only one former CIA official, John Kyriakou, has been jailed in connection with the torture programme – and he was prosecuted for confirming to reporters that the CIA was waterboarding prisoners. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London.

Tree thieves
Opinion/Events
Letters to the Editor
We direct our disappointment to whoever trespassed on private property to cut down one our our nursery grown blue spruce trees at Jim Smith Lake. It takes 10 years to produce a tree of this size, not to mention the cost to put it in the ground. It is unbelievable to us why you would come onto private propety, assuming after dark, and have the audacity to cut down the tree along with the stake rope — clearly you knew what you were up to. There are thousands of trees in the wilderness to cut, why would you choose one on private property. We hope you are honest with your family when you explain where you got this tree. We hope you enjoy your Christmas. Terry and Debbie Thompson Cranbrook
Road Maintenance
People have heard me complain about the conditions of the highways, and the usual response has been “Oh, I think they’re doing a pretty good job.” Well, I say you have to get out of the Kootenays for a mind-opening experience. Every four to six weeks I head down to Hayden, Idaho, to spend a few days with my aging parents. Let me share a typical winter trip to and from Hayden with you. On Tuesday I headed out, driving an allwheel-drive car with new snow tires, and proceeded according to the conditions. The
road was snow packed, rutting and heavily sanded. On the one hour drive to the border, I took at least four to five rock hits from passing vehicles and saw one SUV upside down in the ditch. Thankfully, everyone was okay. I’m not surprised when I leave the border into Idaho, now driving on clear pavement. I can actually drive the speed limit safely for the next two hours. It’s like winter conditions stop at the border. But I also know that the northern “Panhandle” of Idaho gets the same snow we do. After a two-day visit I’m heading home. The road to the border is almost dry in most places. I have a feeling of dread now as I near the border, not because of the woman at Customs and Immigration, but for what I’m going to drive on for the next hour. Thank God it has warmed up. I experience a lot of slush and standing water, but the car still gets pinged by four to five good sized nuggets. When I get close to Moyie the accident signs are up and a totalled four-byfour pickup is being pulled out of the ditch. How does Idaho — one of the poorest states in the Union — do it? A state-run Highways department funded directed through taxpayer dollars, as opposed to a contracted corporation, run by shareholders, who are making enough to buy a local sand company are always looking at the profit line is my long answer. Do you want the roads maintained for safety or do you want it done “on the cheap?” Besides the extra expense to us — new windshields every year, paint chips repaired every year — our lives are in the balance.
Our government continues to remind us to drive speeds appropriate to the conditions, but frankly, most times the road conditions could be better. Bill Lindell Cranbrook
Jumbo Municipality
I’ve been searching long and hard for a reason why Jumbo Glacier Resort should receive approval from the Ministry of Environment therefor allowing them to continue construction on one of the most controversial land use decisions in this provinces history. And that reason is simply that it wouldn’t be very professional of the BC Liberals to not grant approval to a project being undertaken by a financial supporter of the party. It makes complete sense that the voting public that oppose the project would be ignored. Also makes sense that taxpayers will fund the democratic processes at the Jumbo Municipality as well as bridges and access to the resort (even though we had assurances from the proponent that not a dime of taxpayer money would funds infrastructure, roads and access). The only thing that wouldn’t make sense is failing to accommodate Christy Clark and Bill Bennett’s crony campaign supporters; that would make a mockery of our Oligarchy. Steve Tersmette Kimberley

An estimated 13 per cent of youth in BC each year experience a mental health issue —that means up to 83,700 children under the age of 19 in B.C. may be suffering. Studies show that receiving appropriate help at the right time may enable a child or youth to return to good health or prevent the escalation of symptoms, warding off larger crises or more chronic illnesses, and even at times saving young lives. But unfortunately, the majority of youth experiencing a mental health issue, or their families, do not seek help. Why is this? There are likely a number of key factors: youth and family may lack understanding about mental health issues or may be unable to recognise the symptoms of a mental health problem; they may not know how to access the right services, who to see, or how to navigate B.C.’s mental health system; they may be worried about

possible stigma, or labelling, and hoping it is simply a “phase” that will pass. As an adolescent and adult psychiatrist working for the last 11 years in Interior Health (IH), I appreciate how frightening and worrying it can be for youth and families when a mental health issue arises. But I also know that the right help can make all the difference and that good recovery is possible even with some of the most serious of mental health concerns. And “help” does Dr. David not always mean treatment with medication. In fact, Smith many mental health problems in children and youth can be very successfully treated with other techniques, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which, in essence, teaches skills to address the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that underlie a mental health problem. Working with a group of mental health colleagues in the Interior and on Vancouver Island—including families with lived experience, mental health clinicians from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, health authority professionals, school counsellors, family doctors, pediatricians and others — we have come up with a series of short columns to run in this paper to help youth and families recognize and understand some common mental health concerns. Over the next couple of months, in 10 articles, we will talk about Letters to the Editor
issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and family support. We will help you recognize the symptoms and know when and how to seek help. We will talk about successful skills, actions and treatments. These columns, as well as running in your local paper, can also be found at www.shared carebc.ca so you can access them online or share with friends and family. Numerous high quality websites are producing up to date information about a wide variety of mental health concerns and in each column, we will link you to online resources in BC for more information on each condition. A few excellent provincial sites to check out now include: openmindbc.ca; mindcheck.ca, forcesociety.ca, and keltymentalhealth.ca. Next column, we will talk about anxiety. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions.

Provincial pursuit Buchy rink advances to provincial playdowns Will Johnson Nelson Star
Kimberley’s Tom Buchy took the top spot at this weekend’s 2014 Kootenay Inter-regional Playdowns, narrowly edging out Trail’s Rob Ferguson. “It was a great weekend. We were here a couple weeks ago and struggled a bit. This time we seemed to get a better feel of it,” said Buchy, who finished the final game three rocks up. His team consisted of lead Darren Will, second Dave Toffolo and third Dave Stephenson. “We managed to get the rocks in the right places. We got an early lead, stole a couple singles and got a few breaks. Everybody was pretty solid,” he said. Buchy expressed his admiration for Ferguson’s team. “They’re great guys, a very good team. We’ve played them tonnes of times over the years,
and they’re all-around good players,” he said. Garry Beaudry, a member of the Nelson Curling Club’s executive and the representative for Curl BC, said the two teams were neck-andneck the day before. “These guys played (Saturday) and it went down to the tenth end. It was a measure and Tom ended up winning that one,” he said. Buchy’s win has earned his team one of the 16 spots for the upcoming B.C. men’s provincials in Vernon on Feb. 3 to 8, 2015. Friday’s first draw began with a showdown between teams Nichol and Ferguson, resulting in 6-4 win. Meanwhile team Firman bested Norbert 9-3. In the second draw Buchy’s team beat Firman 7-4. Saturday morning saw team Norbert win 9-6 over Nichol for the third draw. Later that af-
ternoon Buchy and and Norbert beat beat Ferguson and Firman 5-3 and 9-3 respectively. On Saturday evening Ferguson beat Nobert 7-2. The final game between Ferguson and Buchy on Sunday morning ended with a score of 6-3. “We’ve always enjoyed coming to Nelson. We’ve played here for 25 years in cashpiels and playdowns. The people are good to us here, treat us well, so we always love coming back,” said Buchy. “We want to thank the Nelson Curling Club for hosting a great event.” Five teams participated in the event. Buchy wished to thank the supporting sponsors of his rink, including: Stephen Rota Management Inc., Coal Valley Motor Products, Assante Wealth Management, Prestige Hotels and Resorts, ABC Coun-

Habs legend honoured Emotional goodbye for Jean Beliveau in Montreal C ANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - An emotional funeral service for Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau has ended. This afternoon’s ceremony at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral heard affectionate eulogies from former teammates Dickie Moore, Yvan Cournoyer, Serge Savard and Ken Dryden as well as Canadiens owner Geoff Molson. The overriding theme from those who spoke was that of a man who was as classy off the ice as he was when he wore his No. 4 jersey. The giant Canadiens flag that draped Beliveau’s casket throughout the service was folded carefully and then given to his widow, Elise. A who’s who of the hockey and political worlds paid an emotional farewell to Beliveau, whose death last week unleashed a national outpouring of grief. They included Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Gov. Gen. David Johnston, former prime ministers Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard and ex-Quebec premiers Jean Charest, Bernard Landry and Lucien Bouchard.
Moore remembered his longtime teammate as a “great man.” “It is a tremendous honour to stand here for my teammate and friend Jean Beliveau,” said Moore, the first to deliver an eulogy at the funeral. “Everyone has said so many wonderful words about him, words like strength, dedication, devotion and elegance. “I was lucky to have been with Jean for many glorious years with the Canadiens, lucky to share amazing moments together, lucky to have him as a friend. “Would you rather be good or lucky? I was lucky. He was good,” he said to chuckles from the congregation. Moore was followed by Cournoyer, one of six pallbearers. “Oh captain, my captain, bon voyage,” Cournoyer said, his voice choking. Dryden recalled being Beliveau’s roommate toward the end of the 1970-71 season as the goaltender was breaking into the league. “He treated everyone with respect,” Dryden told the service. “He said the right things and in the right way, in French and in English, because that’s what he believed and that’s what he was.
“He made every occasion better. He made everyone who was there feel that their town, their organization, their province, their country, their event mattered. That they mattered.” The other designated pallbearers were Savard and former Habs players Phil Goyette, Guy Lafleur, Robert Rousseau and Jean-Guy Talbot. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman also travelled to Montreal. “He was just great to be around,” Bettman told reporters before the service. “And he’s going to be terribly missed.” He was asked about suggestions that the Conn Smythe Trophy could eventually be named after Beliveau. “We’ve been focused more on his passing and that loss and celebrating his life and I know at the appropriate time we’ll focus on what is a remembrance fitting for someone like Jean Beliveau,” Bettman said. A few hundred seats were reserved for fans on a first come, first served basis. Those who couldn’t get inside were able to watch on screens nearby. Beliveau entered the Hockey Hall of Fame the year after his retirement in 1971.

vice from the State Attorney General’s office, Erlich said. “We’ll be seeking more information now from the WHL teams in the state,” Erlich said. The four WHL teams in Washington are the Everett Silvertips, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs and Tri-City Americans. The complaint alleges that WHL teams violate the state’s minimum wage laws. Players are compensated with room, board, a small monthly stipend and one year of college paid for each season played in the league. The complaint says the monthly stipend, which numbers in the hundreds of dollars and varies based on the player’s age, does not meet the Washington State minimum wage of $9.32 per hour. WHL commissioner Ron Robison issued a statement in September saying, “Our WHL clubs have responded to the government, providing requested information and explaining that our players are student athletes playing in a developmental hockey league, and participating and contributing to their sport the same way as other amateur athletes. … Amateur hockey players have competed within the WHL in the State of Washington since 1977. The WHL certainly recognizes that undoubtedly any changes to the status of junior hockey players could impact the status of other amateur athletes in the state as well.” The complaint comes at a time when similar legal challenges are being made in Canada on behalf of Canadian Hockey League players. Challenges are also being made in the U.S. with regards to the status of collegiate athletes and whether they should be considered amateur. There is no timetable for concluding the investigation. Erlich said the investigation can be stopped or the complaint can be settled at any point. Erlich said the investigation would likely require months to complete.

Laurie Middle School bantam boys claim zone volleyball title For The Townsman
The Laurie Middle School bantam boys volleyball team claimed the Volleyball EK Zones in five straight wins after an impressive undefeated season. “This group has been together for the last couple of years and it shows,” said coach Rob Mogielka. “They have a great work ethic and trust each other to make passes and win sets.” The team is comprised of eight Grade 8 boys. “This group of boys are pretty
tough to beat,” said co-coach Jesse Jiminez. “They have a skill level that they work on both at the school level and at Volleyball Club.” The Laurie Bantam Boys played four tournaments this season. According to Mogielka, the team won nearly every game in two sets and claimed four first-place trophies for Laurie Middle School. “We are pretty proud of these guys,” Jimenez added. “Their hard work has paid off.”

A three-time All-Star who turns 31 next month, Lester won two World Series titles with Boston. The left-hander joins a long-suffering team with a promising core of young players and a top-tier manager, Maddon, who left Tampa Bay and signed a $25 million, five-year contract with the Cubs. Now, Chicago has an ace to lead the rotation as it tries to end a run of five straight losing seasons and a championship drought that dates to 1908.

SAN DIEGO - Jon Lester agreed Tuesday night to a $155 million, six-year contract with the Cubs, the first big deal of the off-season involving a top-level starting pitcher and one Chicago hopes will help end more than a century of frustration at Wrigley Field’s Friendly Confines. Lester’s contract, agreed to on the second day of baseball’s winter meetings, contains an option for 2021 that, if it
becomes guaranteed, would make the deal worth $170 million over seven seasons. The average annual value of $25.8 million is the second-highest for a pitcher behind Clayton Kershaw’s $30.7 million as part of a $215 million, seven-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers that began this year. “It’s not often you get to win the lottery, and we won the baseball lottery this year,” new Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “Now it’s up to us to put it into effect.”

Outdoors Birdwatching with the Rocky Mountain Naturalists
‘Tis the season of the winter irruptions E Da ryl C a lder
very winter, backyard birders look forward to possible bird irruptions that will bring new and welcome guests to their feeders. But what exactly is an irruption, and what does it mean for birding? An irruption is a dramatic, irregular migration of large numbers of birds to areas where they aren’t typically found, possibly at great distances from their normal ranges. Several factors can lead to irruptive years for different birds. The most common cause is a lack of food in the birds’ normal wintering grounds. Famine can force large numbers of birds to seek more plentiful habitats until seeds, flowers and insects return in the spring. Birds that feed on the seeds and catkins of birch, maple, pine spruce and hemlock trees often irrupt when those types of trees have poor seed crops. Different birds of prey may also irrupt when the seed crops are poor and cannot support the necessary rodent populations for raptor food sources. Other causes for bird irruptions include unduly harsh cold or severe weather that may force birds to more temperate wintering grounds, or overbreeding that may further deplete even plentiful food supplies. No matter what the cause of the irruption, however, it is difficult to predict where or when irrupting species may appear. Many bird species found in boreal and other northern habitats can irrupt if circumstances require it. Certainly, with the recent erratic weather patterns in the East Kootenay and elsewhere, we anticipate unexpected visitors at our feeders. When large numbers of birds appear, it is important to keep birdbaths and feeders clean to keep birds healthy. Provide a variety of fresh, high quality seed and suet. Sometimes, irrupting birds can bully or intimidate other backyard birds, restricting

Pine Siskins’ fondness for mineral deposits can lure them onto dangerously busy roadways salted to remove ice and snow. Loss of habitat from forest clearing may be balanced by replanting and by the siskin’s willingness to nest in shrubs and ornamental trees. It’s good to see the little finches have returned to our feeders. Feeder watchers are encouraged to help with the Christmas Bird Counts again this year.

It happened this week in Cranbrook
Week of December 7 - 13 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1904 Enlarge CPR Depot … This week The Herald representative had an opportunity of seeing the plans for the enlargement of the C. P. R. depot in this town. The roof will be raised so as to make a three-story building and to nearly double the room in the present building. This move has been in contemplation for some time, owing to the cramped condition of the various departments. The remodelled building will be modern in every way, well lighted with large waiting rooms and increased space in nearly every department. When completed it will be the largest depot building on the Crow s Nest Line and a credit to the prosperous and growing town of Cranbrook. It is expected that work will not commence on the changes in the building until spring, as the plans
were not ready in time to do anything before cold weather would set in. For Rent — Beale and Elwell … Have several houses for rent from $10 per month and upwards. Fire Hall … The new fire hall was turned over to the brigade today. Another Close Call … The Wentworth Hotel and the Herald Office had a narrow escape from fire Sunday night. The woodwork around the big chimney caught fire about 2 o’clock in the morning and had secured quite a start before it was discovered. All of the inmates of the house were aroused, and most of them grabbed what they could and regardless of their personal appearance started for safety. Fortunately the blaze was soon extinguished with little damage done to the building. Weather … It is not strange that it is difficult to arouse any enthusiasm about the skating
rink in town with the thermometer dallying around the sixties and seventies. One would think more about golf and lawn tennis than skating rinks.
Drink Cranbrook Beer … Made from the best malt and purest water, it unexcelled for quality. Ask for Cranbrook Beer and insist on having it. The Cranbrook Brewing and Malting Co. Ltd. Also manufacturers of all kinds of aerated waters. Cranbrook, British Columbia. Say, People … Have you seen the work of Crows Nest Steam Laundry? It’s certainly up-todate. Special rates for hotels and family work. Specialities — flannels, blankets and curtains. White labour only. Perfect satisfaction given by Crows Nest Steam Laundry. SLATER & McPHEE, Proprietors. 1905 Fraternal Order of Eagles … The Eagles fraternized on Wednesday evening at the I.O.O.F. Hall and beyond a question they did things splendidly. It is a fine encouraging thing

to have to record a success, and this event was of that order most decidedly. The programme called it “An evening of whist, pedro, recitation and song.” It said nothing about supper, but that was provided, and excellently at that. The whist tournament proceeded during the earlier hours and resulted in victory for Mrs. W. H. Haynes and Charles Wilson. While the whist and pedro were in progress a very good musical programme was rendered by Messrs. Steward, Kimber, Black and Smith . After the whist programme and supper had been disposed of, the company, some 75 in number, had a couple of hours dancing.
Big Sale in Oriental Novelties … This is a great opportunity to get Xmas novelties. Wong Fong, who has a store on Armstrong Ave., says that his stock is too big. He has just returned from China where he bought a big stock of oriental novelties, silk goods, brass ornaments, etc., and he must sell, no matter how low, to raise the cash. He will have some great bargains the next two weeks: Remember the place, opposite Imperial Hotel,
Armstrong Avenue
Retiring from Business … The way of the transgressor is hard. Imagine how smoothly ours run. We desire to make it as smoothly as possible for our fellow men and will offer them this week some of the greatest snaps in Clothing and Men’s Furnishings that has ever yet been brought to the public notice. Once again we invite inspection of our varied lines.

Roads and Sidewalk Department ... Denis Mahoney being full of the cup which cheers too much, refused to quit the city after two separate warnings by the police. On the third occasion Dinny flung his tongue to the winds, and told in the finest kind of language what he as a free subject thought of the police, the city and the world in general. Dinny was taken and left to cool his head in the cells. This morning he got a practical lesson in city government, being ordered to form a street cleaning and sidewalk improvement gang of one, and to so continue for thirty days. He will be a guest of Benjamin Pugh in the city jail for a month. The same hospitality will be extended to any others of the Dinny Mahoney type who need the like attention. Low living and highway cleaning is a chastening influence for those artists in booze who cannot carry their liquor without spilling bad language. Let the good work go on.

Accused bank robber admits escape attempt Nelson Star
The man charged in the armed robberies of several local financial institutions has pled guilty to trying to escape from custody. Andrew Stevenson, 34, faces a maximum of two years in prison when he is sentenced on January 6, 2015. On September 15, Stevenson was due to elect trial on 21 charges, less than a week after being denied bail. According to the Ministry of Justice, a deputy sheriff was escorting Stevenson into the courthouse through a sheriff-access only door when he threw off his
crutches and fled. Stevenson was using the crutches as the result of injuries he suffered during his arrest on April 25. Consequently, he wasn’t wearing leg irons. The deputy sheriff caught Stevenson after a two-block chase. He was still using crutches during his last several court appearances via video link from Kamloops. Stevenson is accused of robbing Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson, in which a shot was fired, Nelson and District Credit Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Gro-
cery in Robson, plus two breakins at Castlegar pharmacies in March and April. Among other counts, he is accused of possession of a restricted weapon, pointing and firing a firearm, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and fleeing police. He and his co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, 28, who has been released on bail, will have preliminary inquiries January 28 and 29 to determine if there is enough evidence to send their cases to trial. Kalmikoff’s lawyer has indicated she wants to be tried by jury.

Roomy, refined, all-wheel drive sedan Ann M. Job Associated Press
Redesigned for 2015, the Subaru Legacy is a sensible and more refined family sedan that has the best fuel economy for the lowest starting retail price among America’s all-wheel drive sedans. Traction-improving allwheel drive comes standard on the mid-size Legacy, which has a starting retail price of $22,490. Many other cars with allwheel drive are from luxury brands such as Audi and BMW and carry much higher price tags. Even the midsized, 2015 Ford Fusion sedan with all-wheel drive has a starting retail price that’s thousands of dollars more than the Legacy’s. The Legacy’s top fuel economy rating of 24 mpg in city driving and 32 mpg on highways, for an average of 27 mpg, is at the top of gasoline-only, all-wheel drive sedans, according to the federal government. In comparison, the all-wheel drive 2015 Fusion is rated by the government at 22/31 mpg. The new Legacy, which has a roomier and quieter

interior than its predecessor, is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine. Predicted reliability is better than average, according to Consumer Reports. Best of all, the 2015 Legacy earned the top, five out of five stars across the board in federal government frontal and side crash testing and its rollover score. The four-door Legacy now comes with eight standard air bags, including new front-seat-cushion air bags that help keep front-seat occupants properly positioned during a crash. The price for a base Legacy is up nearly 7 per cent from the 2014 model, because the base Legacy with manual transmission has been dropped. All 2015 Legacy models come with a fuel-conscious continuously variable transmission (CVT) that a driver operates as if it were an automatic. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a base, 2015 Legacy 2.5i is $22,490 with all-wheel drive and base, 175-horsepower,
four cylinder. Peak torque remains the same at 174 footpounds, but it comes on now at 4,000 rpm, instead of at 4,100 rpm. The test Legacy didn’t feel particularly sporty, but improvements in the CVT definitely made the car feel responsive and lessened the droning sounds that had been evident in the predecessor. The Legacy got up to requested speeds in a steady, capable fashion, and the car was easy and comfortable to drive. All-wheel drive provided surefooted traction in the rain. The test car, with a majority of city driving and a good amount of demanding acceleration manoeuvrs, averaged a decent 24.9 miles per gallon. This translated into a driving range of 460 miles. At today’s average price for regular gasoline, filling up the 18.5-gallon tank cost just under $50. For 2015, an “active grille shutter” that improves aerodynamics at the front of the car to maximize fuel economy is standard on all Legacy models.
One intriguing item, though, is that while the new Legacy is the same basic size as its predecessor, it’s larger inside. Passenger volume is 104.6 cubic feet now, up from last year’s 103 cubic feet. This is more than the 102.7 cubic feet in the 2015 Camry. The interior of the 2015 Legacy is more appealing than that of earlier Legacy cars. Materials, including plastics, in the test car looked attractive, not cheap. The redesign puts recognizable controls in logical places and within easy reach of drivers. The audio system, in particular, is easier to use, and a touchscreen display that accommodates swipe and scroll motions is standard in all models. Just watch that large fingers don’t accidentally change the radio station while using the volume knob just below the touchscreen. The screen in the tester was extremely sensitive to touch. Subaru engineers upped the horsepower just a smidge from 174 to 175 in the base Legacy engine, which is a 2.5-litre, double overhead cam, horizontally opposed

naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine. Note that the Legacy comes with steering wheel paddle shifters, too, so a driver can use the CVT in a programmed six-speed manual mode if he or she wants. The starting MSRP, including destination charge, for a 2015 Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive, 240-horsepower, turbocharged four cylinder and automatic transmission is $29,150. The top-selling mid-size family sedan, the Toyota Camry, is not offered with all-wheel drive. But the starting retail price of $23,795 for

a front-wheel drive, 2015 Camry LE with 178-horsepower four cylinder and automatic transmission is higher than that for the base 2015 Legacy with all-wheel drive. For 2015, Subaru restyled the Legacy inside and out. The exterior lost some of the Subaru quirkiness in the redesign and the car now looks quite mainstream. It’s* a pleasant look, but not distinctive. The tester, which was a mid-level 2.5i Premium, blended into other cars in parking lots and never received a second look from passersby.

TORONTO - The Toronto stock market hit correction territory Wednesday, Dec. 10, losing almost 350 points in the worst one-day sell-off since June 2013 amid a further plunge in energy stocks. The S&P/TSX composite index tumbled 342.78 points to 13,852.95, led by a drop of 5.5 per cent in the energy group after the OPEC cartel cut its forecast for 2015 world demand for its oil.

The TSX is down 12 per cent from 2014 highs racked up in mid-summer and now is a bare 230 points or 1.7 per cent above where it started the year. A drop of 10 per cent or more from recent highs is considered a correction. Damage was widespread across Toronto market sectors as investors try to gauge how a drop in oil prices of

TSX in correction territory with 343-point slide Dec. 10 OPEC last month to leave production levels unchanged, leaving the markets to sort out a huge imbalance between supply and demand. On Wednesday, the January crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange dropped $2.88 to US$60.94 a barrel. The TSX energy sector, which makes up 23 per cent of the TSX, has plunged more than 25 per cent so far this year. Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, says the sharp fall in oil prices is the result of “treachery” - an apparent reference to regional rival Saudi Arabia, which opposed OPEC production cuts to lift prices. The base metals sector lost 3.4 per cent as March copper gave back most of Tuesday’s four-cent gain, down three cents to US$2.90 a pound. Other major losers included financials, down 1.75 per cent, and industrials, which fell 2.75 per cent.

JUST WHAT THE DOCTORS ORDERED Out of challenge comes opportunity and at Selkirk College the Rural Pre-Medicine Program is taking on the problem of a physician shortage outside urban areas by opening the door for students who desire to follow a pathway towards a career in medicine well suited for rural Canada.

Finding Solutions to the Rural Doctor Crisis
Helping Solve the Problem of a Growing Need The mounting challenges with health care in rural Canada have gained traction in the media over the last few years. With shrinking government budgets, an aging population and societal shifts forming the basis of these struggles, more attention has been focussed on the gap between urban and rural. Three years ago, Lund and her colleagues in the Selkirk College School of University Arts & Sciences were looking for ways to bolster second year sciences at the Castlegar Campus. A story on CBC radio about the doctor shortage in rural British Columbia triggered the idea for a program that would help address the need with homegrown solutions. Lund was charged with putting together the proposal and soliciting support. For almost two years Lund put her skills in research and passion for education to the test as she approached senior levels of government, the Doctors of BC, local physicians, the University of British Columbia and anybody else that would listen. “There was a lot of pounding the pavement… I had to become a salesperson,” she says. “That’s the last thing I thought I would ever do, but I was selling something that I totally believe in. It ceases to be selling and becomes talking to people to let them know what we want to do.”
The First Cohort a Brilliant Example of What is Possible On a sunny late-September afternoon in Castlegar, Selkirk College administration joined representatives from the Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health and health care professionals from around the Kootenay region for a special reception to welcome the first Rural Pre-Medicine cohort to the program. With a class made up of diverse backgrounds that range from recent high school grads to single mothers who have been away from post-secondary for more than a decade, there was a buzz in the air. “I have a vision of some of the graduates of this program not only making it into medical school, but also being really grounded and solid people,” said Trail Regional Hospital physician Dr. Blair Stanley, chair of the program’s advisory committee. “Not only because of their rural roots, but because of some of the learnings they will have had in this unique program. They will bring that groundedness and can bring that awareness into their clinical setting when they are looking after patients. I think that will be a magical connection that they will have with patients and the work they do.”

With a diverse background and intimate understanding of the challenges faced by students in smaller communities, Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund (bottom right) is the motivating presence behind Selkirk College’s push to bolster the numbers of rural doctors.
Students of Rural Pre-Medicine come from a variety of backgrounds ...

Not sure you fit into one of these backgrounds? You might be wrong. Ask us!
A visit to a Friday afternoon chemistry lab is further proof that the cohort model and small classroom environment is already paying dividends. Three months into their education journey at Selkirk College, students work together with a spirit more often found with the cohesiveness of a sports team rather than the individualistic competitive pursuit of entrance into medical school. “You can see already that the students in this program are going do something and they are going to do something great… It’s already a success,” says Lund. “I’m really proud of these students and very excited about the opportunities for them in the future. Whether they end up choosing medicine or another health field or something else completely different in science, this is where it starts.”

European winters and the traditional Christmas market Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel describes her experiences with European Christmas markets
L
ast August, I was fortunate enough to travel from the Czech Republic to the Netherlands, passing through many medieval villages, quaint cities and historic sites in Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany. Lovely as these areas are in the summer, they are equally beautiful in the winter. If you have the opportunity to go to Europe in Christmas Market season (Nov-Dec), you will have a magical, mesmerizing experience that will awe even the biggest humbug of all (that might be me!). Germany probably does it best. Christmas markets have been around since the 14th century, when they were fairs that sold food items to villagers to stock up for the long winter season ahead. Now they are world famous! Cologne, Germany, has 6 markets that surround the town’s famous and beautiful Gothic Cathedral. There is an ice rink and a Medieval market. Stalls include handmade wooden ornaments , music boxes and warm gluhwein ladled into ceram-
ic cups. The smell of cinnamon and cloves is intoxicating. Maybe try it ‘mit schuss’ – with a shot, likely rum. And you have to try stollen, a traditional fruit Christmas bread and lebkuchen (gingerbread). Over 2 million people visit the Cologne Christmas Market each year. Other famous markets are found in Nuremberg, Dresden and Munich. In Prague, Czech Republic, many of the markets are themed on fairy tales and folk-lore. You’ll find nativity scenes with petting zoos, wandering carolers, old-fashioned carousels and horse carriage rides. Bratislava, Slovakia is less crowded but still features traditional market stalls filled with handmade crafts, live entertainment and local foods like fruit-filled pancakes and hot apple pies. The most beautiful city at Christmastime may be Vienna, Austria. The market here is 700 years old. Just imagine the Vienna State Opera House and the magnificent City Hall all lit up!

Monaco’s Princess Charlene gives birth to twins El aine Ganley Lionel Cironneau Associated Press
MONACO - For the first time since Monaco was founded in the 13th century, its royal family gave birth to twins on Wednesday, and dozens of cannons were fired to celebrate. Monaco’s Princess Charlene had a girl first and a boy second, but the boy will be the principality’s future ruler, reflecting the male priority of Monaco’s laws of succession. The royal twins Gabriella Therese Marie and Jacques Honore Rainier - born to Charlene, 36, and Prince Albert II, 56 - are heirs to the centuries-old Grimaldi dynasty that rules the wealthy principality. Gabriella was born at 5:04 p.m. (1604 GMT) and her brother Jacques two minutes later, ac-
cording to a palace statement. Monaco is a twosquare kilometre (0.8 square mile) enclave of ritzy apartments and luxury shops on the French Riviera with a population of around 30,000. Albert, son of the late American actress Princess Grace, had some subjects worried by his long bachelorhood and his lack of an heir since his two previous children were born out of wedlock and are not eligible for the throne. Then the prince married Charlene Wittstock, a Zimbabwe-born, South Africa-raised former Olympic swimmer, in 2011. Now the tiny royal state on the Riviera has two reasons to rejoice. “This is going to create an immense joy. Immense!” said Monaco resident Isabelle Roux.
“They are awaited like the messiah. ... Everyone is talking only about that.” “Two babies for the price of one. I think it’s very good for the image,” said Adelaide de Clermont-Tonnerre, editor-in-chief of the celebrity weekly Point de Vue. “With twins, there’s al-
ways an extra interest.” Only one woman has ever reigned over Monaco, Princess Louise-Hippolyte, but she died months after assuming the throne in 1731. In 2002, with no heirs in sight, Monaco’s parliament quietly changed its constitution to allow
royal power to pass from a reigning prince with no descendants to his siblings - potentially Albert’s two sisters. That ensured the continuation of the Grimaldi dynasty, one of the oldest royal houses in Europe, even if Albert never produced an heir.

New call for government action from children’s rep Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth has issued yet another stinging rebuke to the province for allowing substandard conditions in 31 cases where youths in care ended up critically harmed or dead. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond latest review of children in care focuses on those with complex medical, psychological or behavioural needs and paints a tragic portrait of a system she says is “in disarray” because of government’s failure to fund an adequate model. “We’re compounding their challenges by isolating them and giving them this kind of substandard treatment,” she told reporters Wednesday. One youth dubbed Dean came from a violent, unstable family and mentally ill mother who considered killing
him, according to the new report. He was diagnosed with various behavioural disorders and hospitalized for selfharm before entering government care and being placed in a foster home at age 15. The foster father didn’t want his own kids exposed to Dean so the youth was kept in a separate rental home that the dad staffed with workers he met through Narcotics Anonymous or the local coffee shop, with no criminal record checks conducted. One night worker turned out to be a sex offender who abused the boy, Turpel-Lafond said, calling it an example of a “shadow system of care” where kids who need the most attention are cast aside. “When we put the neediest kids in these ad hoc group homes that are one-offs where someone can hire someone from the Star-
bucks lineup or from their Narcotics Anonymous group to care for a child, that’s not good care.” It’s particularly troubling the province knew of that care plan and agreed to it, Turpel-Lafond added. Of the cases reviewed, seven children were sexually assaulted, eight were physically assaulted, while others were suicidal, had drug overdoses or self-inflicted injuries. Two died. She noted the Ministry of Children and Family Development continues to use hotels in all regions of the province to house some children in care who have not been placed elsewhere. “You basically go to sleep in a hotel with one worker and wake up with another worker,” said Turpel-Lafond, who wants the province to disclose each time hotels are used. “Sometimes the kids

Letting at-risk kids drift toward poverty, homelessness, jail,
abuse and untreated mental illness is much more costly than a comprehensive, fully funded and properly supported residential care system, she said. She’s also urging a hybrid approach of shared guardianship that lets parents and other family continue to participate in the upbringing of a child who must be in government care.

Backers of a third large oil refinery proposal for B.C.’s North Coast made some high-profile appointments Wednesday, naming former Assembly of First Nations national chiefs Shawn Atleo and Ovide Mercredi as advisors to their team. Pacific Future Energy, proposing what it calls the world’s greenest refinery near Prince Rupert, announced the appointments Wednesday at a Vancouver Board of Trade event hosted by Stockwell Day, the former Conservative trade minister who has been the group’s public face since August. Pacific Future’s proposal is similar to Kitimat Clean, a refinery bid launched in 2012 by David Black, chairman of Black Press. Both would be constructed from modules manufactured offshore to produce diesel, gasoline and other fuels for sale, avoiding the transport of heavy oil by tankers to reach export markets. The third proposal is called Eagle Spirit En-
ergy, headed by aboriginal author and lawyer Calvin Helin with financial backing from the Aquilini Group, the Vancouver family business that owns the Vancouver Canucks and extensive real estate and farm holdings. Eagle Spirit is proposing a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to an upgrader that would produce synthetic crude oil for export by tankers, likely from the Prince Rupert area. Black announced last week that engineering firm Hatch Ltd. has completed a design and feasibility study for a refinery at an estimated cost of $22 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest in the world. Black said in an interview he sees obvious similarities with the Pacific Future proposal, which describes new technology and carbon capture to reduce its environmental impact. Kitimat Clean proposes a new refining process that avoids production of petroleum coke, a coal-like byproduct of conventional heavy oil refining that is used in steel making. Black said the entry of Pacific Future, head-

Black Press CEO David Black ed by an executive of Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas, shows the business case for a B.C. refinery is sound and there is capacity for more than one plant. All proposals for B.C. North Coast refining await the fate of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which received a federal environmental certificate this year and awaits approval by the federal cabinet. All proposals also face opposition to
pipeline and tanker transport of heavy oil. Pacific Future has appointed Atleo as a senior advisor for partnerships, months after Premier Christy Clark appointed him as an advisor for dialogue between First Nations, government and industry. Black said his next steps include negotiating “acceptable compensation” for his project with the Kitselas and Haisla First Nations for use of their traditional territory.

act – it’s been nearly two years since she issued similar recommendations after an 11-year-old boy with complex needs was tasered by police. “I’m certainly not happy that I continue to see children in this state,” she said. “They need to get on this.” Of B.C.’s nearly 9,000 children and teens in care, 1,300 have complex needs and nearly 900 of them are in contracted placements that often have inadequate oversight.

Child rights activists Malala and Satyarthi receive Nobel Peace Prize Mark Le wis ASSOCIATED PRESS
OSLO - Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan and Kailash Satyarthi of India received the Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday for risking their lives to help protect children from slavery, extremism and forced labour. The 17-year-old Malala, the youngest ever Nobel winner, and Satyarthi, 60, collected the award at a ceremony in Oslo City Hall in the Norwegian capital to a standing ovation. As she received her award, an asylum seeker from Mexico ran onto the stage waving his country’s flag, which he had apparently smuggled into the heavily guarded ceremony without an official invitation, police said. The young man was whisked away by a guard. Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg bemoaned the brief interruption and lapse in security. To help protect Malala - who had been shot in the head by Taliban in Pakistan in 2012 - Oslo has been dominated by armed police and security guards for days, with blocked-off streets, metal fences and helicopters whirring above. In his speech to an audience including Norwegian royalty and politicians, Nobel committee Chairman Thorbjorn Jagland said all
Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan and Kailash Satyarthi of India received the Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday. children have a right to childhood and education, and “this world conscience can find no better expression” than through this year’s winners. Referring to Malala’s serious injury in Pakistan two years ago, he said Islamic extremist groups dislike knowledge because it is a condition for freedom. “Attendance at school, especially by girls, deprives such forces from power,” he said. He praised Satyarthi’s vision of ending child labour and how he had abandoned a career as an electrical engineer
in 1980 to fight for that vision. Jagland also singled out another Indian, Mahatma Gandhi, who remains the most notable omission in the 113year history of the Nobel Peace Prize. The chairman said prize winners live according to Gandhi’s principle: “There are many purposes I would have died for. There are no purposes I would have killed for.” In his acceptance speech, Satyarthi referred to rapid globalization, high-speed Internet and international flights that connect people. “But there is one se-
rious disconnect. It is a lack of compassion,” he said, urging the audience to “globalize compassion,” starting with children. Malala’s parents sat side-by-side in the front row of the hall holding hands, and she thanked them for their unconditional love. “Thank you to my father for not clipping my wings and for letting me fly,” she said. “Thank you to my mother for inspiring me to be patient and to always speak the truth - which we strongly believe is the real message of Islam.”
Earlier, the flag-waving youth who briefly interrupted the ceremony had shaken Malala’s hand in the Grand Hotel, where she was staying, telling her how much he admired her. Oslo Police Superintendent John Fredrik Sem said the intruder was a Mexican student who had applied for political asylum in Norway a day earlier. Sem said all guests entering the hall passed through a metal detector and provided identification and their official invitation. Conceding that a security “routine had failed,” Sem could not explain how the intruder had passed through the checkpoints. Police did not provide the student’s name or age, but he was identified as Adan Cortes Salas, 21, by his brother, Austin. In an interview with The Associated Press in Mexico City, Austin confirmed that his brother had sought asylum in Norway while visiting Oslo on vacation. “We should have better security than this,” Solberg told public broadcaster NRK. In a traditional parade, about 1,500 people meandered through the dark streets of Oslo in freezing temperatures to watch the laureates who appeared from the balcony of the Grand
Fake clues throw researchers off cyber trail R aphael Sat ter ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - It’s a hacker whodunit. Researchers say they have a wealth of clues but no clear answers - as to the identity of those behind a series of newly discovered cyberattacks targeting Russian and Eastern European embassies, oil companies and military officers. “The level of misdirection is impressive,” said Hugh Thompson, a security strategist at Blue Coat Systems, Inc., which is publishing a report on the malware campaign Wednesday. Blue Coat says the malware - nicknamed “Inception” after the complex dream heist movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio - has been attacking mainly Russian or Eastern Europe-
an targets in the fields of diplomacy, energy and finance. The Blue Coat report says researchers found signs hinting at the hackers’ identity, but that they’re all over the map. For example, some of the malicious code carries words in Arabic and Hindi. Another piece of code carries the words, “God Save The Queen.” A third clue, suggesting Chinese involvement, appears to have been left on purpose after the attackers realized they were being watched. Kaspersky Lab researcher Costin Raiu, who is familiar with the malware, links the code to “Red October,” a Russia-focused campaign his company uncovered early last year.
Raiu points to similarities in the attackers’ “philosophy and style” and says several of the same targets were hit. Blue Coat malware researcher Waylon Grange says that con-
nection is possible, but that he is reserving judgment in light of the hackers’ trickiness. And he says the new campaign is a good reminder that suggestive words or phrases found

Is Milk the Best Source of Calcium? By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND
Milk has a long standing reputation for ‘doing the body good’ by supplying much needed calcium for bones. For decades the advertisements have repeated that milk is necessary for strong, healthy bones and without it we would develop osteoporosis and our bones would break. However, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal came to the conclusion that increased milk intake almost doubled the risk of fracture. The study was done over 20 years on over 60 000 women and 45 000 men finding that oxidative and inflammatory markers in the urine increased with higher milk consumption as well. Another study published by the Mayo Clinic shows that the best way to predict your risk for osteoporosis is by simply subtracting your weight in kg from your age (Age-Weight) and if it is less than zero your risk is less than 5%, 0-20 risk is 15-20% and greater than 20 your risk of osteoporosis is approximately 50-60%. This indicates that most people are not at high risk for osteoporosis as we are frequently led to believe. So with milk most likely not being the best bioavailable source of calcium that leaves us with the question of what is? The best sources of calcium from food are green leafy vegetables (ie. kale, swiss chard), raw almonds, tahini (sesame seed paste), dried figs, organic soy and seaweeds (ie. dulse, wakame). Foods like soft drinks and caffeine, which pull calcium out of the bone, should be avoided if there is high risk of fracture. Weight bearing exercises can also help reduce risk of fracture. Calcium is one of the most common supplements that we see patients taking, but is this always necessary? Calcium is important for bone health, however recent studies have suggested that it can be harmful if supplemented alone as it can cause calcification of other organs in the body such as the heart and kidneys. Other minerals and micronutrients like manganese, vitamin K, vitamin D, boron, magnesium and phosphorus are needed to help drive the calcium into the bone to increase density. We recommend only supplementing with very specific absorbable forms of a multi-mineral formula which includes calcium and all the above mentioned micronutrients. We further believe that you should only be supplementing if you are at high risk for osteoporosis or if indicated clinically based on individual cases, otherwise focus should be on getting calcium through your daily diet.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for 10 years, and we have two children. Two years ago, I found out that he was bothering a 19-year-old girl. He was 30 at the time. We separated over this, but six months ago, we got back together. Now when I ask about this young woman, his story keeps changing. He says they were just friends, and then he says he tried getting together with her after we separated. He admits he still cares about her. Here’s the current problem: This woman has a young child and uses the same daycare center that I do. I see her whenever I drop off my children. I jump through hoops to make sure my husband isn’t the one dropping off the kids, because I don’t want him to run into her. This situation is driving me crazy, but my family members tell me I should stay with my husband because we have kids and because he quit drinking. So do I stay and look the other way, or should I leave? -- Only Questions Dear Questions: You have another option. For your marriage to succeed, you need to know that your husband will not pursue this young woman, and he hasn’t responded in a way that merits your trust. Because you have children, please make an effort to work on this before giving up. Ask your husband to go with you for counseling. If he refuses, go without him. Your doctor or clergyperson can refer you. Dear Annie: I am a veteran. I served proudly and now have a decent job in the civilian workforce. I appreciate everything that our country does to honor our nation’s veterans and their families, from the parades and ceremonies to the business discounts and free meals. But I often wonder why veterans are not provided with a “holiday” from work on Veterans Day to attend these ceremonies, have lunch or just spend time with their families. To attend these functions, veterans must apply for vacation time. Many therefore choose not to attend. I realize some businesses do provide their employees with the day off, but they are in the minority. If Veterans Day honors this nation’s veterans, why can’t we change the law by giving veterans the day off without penalty? -- Answered the Call Dear Answered: It does seem logical that those being honored would get the day off. Veterans Day is a federal holiday, meaning most government offices are closed, no mail is delivered and federal workers either get the day off or are paid for working a holiday. Many non-governmental businesses also close on Veterans Day, but it is not mandatory. We suggest you talk to your boss about this for next year and see whether some accommodation can be worked out. Dear Annie: I wanted to respond to “Bewildered in California,” whose father manipulates others into giving him freebies. I have a friend with similar behaviors. I’ve seen her take cans of soda, cookies, napkins and salt packets and stick them in the large bag she carries. She once took five packets of identical material at conferences. In the 20 years I have known her, I’ve never been invited to her home. I suspect she is a hoarder. She’s always talking about getting her money’s worth and manipulates others into getting freebies for her. If they won’t, she claims they don’t care about her. Three years ago, I took her to an event requiring an overnight stay. When I arrived back home, I had hotel towels in my suitcase that I had not put there. I now avoid getting into situations where I might be embarrassed by her behavior. I’m convinced this is an illness, but she will never seek help. To mention it, even kindly, would only mean she has lost another good friend. -- Still Care Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

WILLMOTT
The family of the late May Willmott wish to express our deep appreciation to those who have offered their kindness and support, the messages of sympathy and comfort in the loss of our mother and grandmother. We especially want to thank all the doctors and nurses of the Emergency Room and the 3rd floor of East Kootenay Regional Hospital for the excellent care our mother received. We are deeply grateful and will never forget your kindness. A special thank you to Lorraine Flint and the staff of Mark Memorial for assisting us at this very difficult time. The Willmott Family
Clarence Wilfred Tendler June 29, 1937 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 18, 2014 Born in Bengough, Sask. June 29, 1937, passed away in Victoria, B.C. July 18, 2014. Deeply mourned by wife Ruth, & by children Lenora (Todd Perry), Darla, Blaine (Mary), Derryl (Candace), & by grandchildren Nicole, Matthew, Travis, & Baylee. Clarence & Ruth lived in Cranbrook 1980 - 2004 operating Mr. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant for 15 years. No service by Clarenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. If desired memorial donations may be made in Clarenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of B.C. Peter Ferguson, 1931 - 2014 It is with sadness that the family of Peter Ferguson announces his passing on the morning of December 6, 2014, at the age of 83. He is predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Doris Ferguson. Peter was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1931 and at the age of 15 began his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker. In 1951, Peter immigrated to Canada and settled in Cranbrook where he was a self-employed cabinetmaker his entire working life. His woodworking is installed in many Cranbrook homes and public facilities. After retirement, Peter turned his joinery skills to wonderfully intricate wooden toys and small-scale models and a collection of his models was displayed at the Cranbrook Public Library in 2012. He enjoyed reading, gardening, cooking, and adored his little dog, Sport. He was also an avid angler who could boast that he took at least one or two trout from every local lake, river, and creek. Peter is lovingly remembered by his children Duncan Ferguson (Jane), Adele Simpson (Bob), and Deanna Ferguson (Darren); and his grandchildren Melissa Ferguson, Andrew Ferguson, and Sean Simpson (Sarah). The family would like to thank the Third Floor and Emergency Room staff of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for their outstanding care and compassion shown to our father in his last days. A celebration of Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place in the Spring. The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to a favoured charity in his name. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
Daniel Klan March 14, 1933 December 3, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our loving father Daniel Klan. Dad passed away peacefully on December 3, 2014, with his loving daughters by his side. Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of his life was his wife, our Mom, whom we lost 4 years ago. Dad married our Mom, Pauline Bessette on July 20, 1973, and started a new family with six of us children whom he loved as his own. We will always cherish all the good times with him. He loved to play cards with his family. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always see him out walking, taking time to stop and talk with anyone. Dan loved to help out the community, selling tickets for the Food Bank. He worked many years for local 115. After he retired he started building bird house, cat and dog houses, and many games. Dan was born March 14, 1933 in Eston, Saskatchewan to William and Pauline Klan. Dan leaves to mourn his passing his six children: Andre (Brenda) Lefebvre, Lise (Jim) McKim, Lynn (Rick) McKim, Dianne (Steve) Borho, Lorraine (David) Kitchen, Donna Marie (Bob) Franklin. He also leaves behind 30 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren whom he loved to be with. Also leaving his one brother Art (Flossy) Klan. Predeceased by his parents William and Pauline Klan, brother August Klan, sisters Martha Combs, Ann Valney. There will be no funeral at this time. Friends and family are welcome to gather to celebrate Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in the spring.

GRAHAM March 19, 1929 December 5, 2014 It is with sadness in our hearts the family announces that after a long, full life, Dad has peacefully passed away. Dad married the love of his life, Gloria Anne Stromstead, on Sept 29, 1949 and was devastated when she passed away in 2005. Left behind to mourn his passing and celebrate his life are their children Rick (Marlene), Laurene (Al), Lynne (Albert), Kathi (Bill), Patti (Jim), and Darryl (Lisa). Papa Dick adored his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and always looked forward to spending time with them. He was predeceased by brothers Ken, Jim, and Dave and sisters Dot, Ved, and Ruth. He is survived by 2 sisters, Mavis and Janet (Ted), and 2 sisters-in-law, Greta and Heather (Stephen). Dad loved the outdoors. He and Mom spent many idyllic summers camping and fishing, and as Park Hosts at White Swan Provincial Park they made friends from all around the world. Mom and Dad also loved to golf, and spent many happy days on the local courses. Dad spent his working life as a crane operator, and was recognized as one of the best in the province. He helped build the many roads, bridges, and power lines all around BC. Dad loved thunderstorms, bagpipes, and animals of all kinds. He was well known for his sense of humour and his wide, joyous smile. We are happy knowing he was wearing that smile when he and Mom were reunited. There will be a memorial service to celebrate his life at 1:00 pm on Saturday December 13 at McPherson Funeral Home, 1885 Warren Ave, Kimberley. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Kids With Cancer (780-496-2459) or 11135 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 84 Ave, Edmonton T6G 0V9) or to Canuck Place Vancouver (http://www.canuckplace.org for donation information) Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Where did Earth’s water come from?
Rosetta space probe fails to solve the mystery Seth Borenstein Associated Press WASHINGTON - The mystery of where Earth’s water came from got murkier Wednesday when some astronomers essentially eliminated one of the chief suspects: comets. Over the past few months, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta space probe closely examined the type of comet that some scientists theorized could have brought water to our planet 4 billion years ago. It found water, but the wrong kind.
It was too heavy. One of the first scientific studies from the Rosetta mission found that the comet’s water contains more of a hydrogen isotope called deuterium than water on Earth does. “The question is who brought this water: Was it comets or was it something else?” asked Kathrin Altwegg of the University of Bern in Switzerland, lead author of a study published in the journal Science. Something else, probably asteroids, Altwegg concluded. But
others disagree. Many scientists have long believed that Earth had water when it first formed, but that it boiled off, so that the water on the planet now had to have come from an outside source. The findings from Rosetta’s mission to the duck-shaped comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko complicate not just the question of the origin of Earth’s water but our understanding of comets. Until now, scientists pretty much sorted comets into two types:
near and far. The near ones, sometimes called the Jupiter family, originally come from the Kuiper Belt outside Neptune and Pluto. The far ones hail from the Oort Cloud, which is much farther out. In 1986, a spacecraft came within about 400 miles (640 kilometres) of Halley’s comet, an Oort Cloud comet, and analyzed its water. It proved to be heavier than Earth’s water. But three years ago, scientists examined the water in a Kuiper Belt comet, Hartley 2, and it was a perfect match for Earth’s water, so the comet theory was back, stronger
Thoughts of marriage, and too much worry Hi Wendy: I have two questions I would like you to ask your guides. Will I be receiving the monies from the sale of my house in January of 2015? Will I find a nice man and get married again? Hoping Dear Hoping: I asked my guides these two questions and this is what I have discovered: You will be receiving the money on the sale of your house in the latter part of January 2015. You will get married again on this plane in this lifetime. Whether he is a nice man or not I don’t know until you give me his first and last name. This way we will have complete accuracy when we do a “spec” on him. Wendy Hi Wendy: I have had a rough time in the last two years always worrying about the children, our money situation and there have been a few health problems with my parents. I worry so much some days my husband feels I should go on some drugs. I want to know what you think would help me. I know you are a holistic therapist because one of my clients was talking about you yesterday. This is why I have decided to email you and ask your advice. Worrisome Warrior Dear Worrisome Warrior: We all have stresses in our life at one time or another. We need to deal with the stress find a solution and move on. Worry is a useless, negative emotion.

than ever, Altwegg said. The comet visited by Rosetta is a Kuiper Belt comet, but its water was even heavier than Halley’s, Altwegg said. That shows that Kuiper Belt comets aren’t as uniform as thought, and it once again complicates the issue of Earth’s water. “That probably rules out Kuiper Belt comets from bringing water to Earth,” she said. University of Maryland astronomer Michael A’Hearn, who wasn’t part of the research, called the results startling but said they don’t eliminate comets altogether. The water
could have come from other types of Kuiper Belt comets, he said. NASA Near Earth Object program manager Donald Yeomans, however, thinks it does pretty much rule out comets. While asteroids are a
good suspect - they probably had more water on them 4 billion years ago than they do now - another possibility is that Earth kept some of its original water in its crust or in ice at the poles, Altwegg said.

Thank you Cranbrook It`s 14 days until Christmas. You Cranbrook have supported our Turkey Drive above and beyond our expectations. We are sure that everyone in Cranbrook will have Christmas dinner. The telephones started ringing the moment we arrived in the office and people were dropping by all day long. At the office, the volunteers were on the phones soliciting those pledges. It was simply the best day of the year and so heart-warming. The final total will be announced at the Chamber`s last General luncheon on Wednesday, December10th. We divide that total with half going to the Food Bank and half to the Salvation Army. From our leaders Jason Wheeldon, Warren Bedell and all their volunteers, thank you so much Cranbrook for making a difference in the lives of others.
Performed at December 10th Chamber Luncheon by Barry Coulter

ready, remove from the oven and let cool on the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then, while the cookies are still warm, using even strokes, brush a light coat of glaze on top of each cookie, evenly covering it. Let the cookies cool completely. When the glaze dries, it should leave a shiny, opaque finish. If you have used a patterned pin to make a single large plaque, cut into the desired sizes with a small, very sharp knife. The cookies will keep in an airtight container in a cool place for about 2 weeks. They do not freeze well, however, as glaze becomes watery when they are thawed.

Critics question Harper’s rationale for stalled oil and gas regulations BRUCE CHEADLE Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Opposition critics and energy experts are questioning Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s contention that Canada can’t move to curb greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas sector without American alignment. Harper this week flatly ruled out what he calls unilateral action on long-awaited regulations, which his government has been promising since 2007. New Democrats Megan Leslie and Libby Davies each asked the government Wednesday to provide some evidence it has begun talks with the U.S. administration over common oil and gas regulations. “Could the prime minister, or anyone over there on the government side, tell us the last time he spoke with President Barack Obama about creating harmonized oil and gas regulations to reduce green-
house gas emissions?” asked Leslie. Colin Carrie, the parliamentary secretary to the environment minister, responded by attacking NDP policies, while Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford remained rooted in his seat. Rickford raced past reporters outside the Conservative caucus Wednesday morning, responding over his shoulder to a pursuer that regulating the oil and gas sector “wouldn’t be a very good idea right now.” Harper rallied his Conservative caucus on Tuesday by calling oil and gas regulations a “crazy economic policy,” given low world prices. “In fact, nobody in the world is regulating their oil and gas sector,” Harper said. “I’d be delighted if they did. Canada will be there with them. But we’re not going to impose unilateral penalties.” His comments came
as a United Nations conference on new climate change targets was in full swing in Lima, Peru. Trouble is, many jurisdictions - including the European Union, Norway, a number of U.S. states and Alberta have moved ahead with their own oil and gas sector regulations. Experts say there’s no reason Ottawa can’t do the same. And no one has seen any evidence the Conservatives have even broached substantive harmonization talks with the United States about the continental oil and gas sector. “I just have no idea what he meant by that and I haven’t seen anyone come out and try to clarify it. It’s astounding,” Andrew Leach, the Enbridge Professor of Energy Policy at the University of Alberta, said in an interview. “If you look globally there are tons of jurisdictions that regulate greenhouse gas emis-
sions from their oil and gas sectors, and that’s probably going to increase.”
“If you look globally there are tons of jurisdictions that regulate greenhouse gas emissions from their oil and gas sectors, and that’s probably going to increase.” Andrew Leach Dave Sawyer of the consultant firm EnviroEconomics notes that North Sea oil and gas emissions have long been covered under the European Union Emissions Trading System, or EUETS. Canadian companies with North Sea operations, such as Nexen, have had compliance obligations under the EUETS for years. Norway, meanwhile,
has long had a carbon tax on oil and gas, which it doubled last year. Petroleum production and natural gas extraction pay Norway’s highest rate of almost $72 per tonne, while other carbon intensive industries pay lower amounts or are exempted. As for global market fluctuations, many wonder what price the government considers the right one to curb sectoral GHG emissions. Since the Conservatives announced their sectorby-sector regulatory approach in 2007, oil prices have spiked above $120 a barrel and are currently below $70. “First we’re too rich and can’t kill the golden goose, and now we’re impoverished. So when’s the right time?” asked Sawyer. Leaked reports about proposed regulatory scenarios have put the cost to producers anywhere from 10 to 40 cents per barrel. “Is oil and gas pro-
duction in Canada really sensitive to compliance costs in the order of 15 cents a barrel - a Timbit a barrel?” said Sawyer. The government’s do-nothing stance is creating increasing frustration among policy wonks, opposition critics and even, behind the scenes, some oil industry executives. “All of the major oilsands companies have been very clear that they’re benchmarking their projects assuming these (regulatory) prices get imposed. They’ve already baked this into their projects,” said Leach. By not acting, the government is simply adding to the profitability of investments that are already taking place, he said. “This isn’t the old national energy program view where somebody has a drilling rig and they’re trying to figure out which side of the border to set it up on,”
said Leach. “The oilsands are multi-year, multi-billion projects that for the most part are undertaken by major global oil companies.” Canada is competing for global capital, he noted, but doesn’t globally harmonize its labour policies, safety policies, royalties, income taxes and a host of other domestic policy choices. In Lima, Peru, the executive director of the International Energy Agency said this week that current price conditions present “a golden opportunity” for policymakers. “Now is the time to put a meaningful price on carbon and slash fossil fuel subsidies,” Maria van der Hoeven said on the sidelines of the U.N. conference Tuesday. “Low prices mean that economic impacts will be that much less painful.”

Questions swirl over effectiveness of CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi probe COLIN PERKEL Canadian Press
TORONTO - Questions about the effectiveness of an investigation into the CBC’s handling of the Jian Ghomeshi affair swirled Wednesday amid employee concerns about incriminating themselves. While senior managers defended the process as independent, the union said only a promise of immunity would allow all employees to speak freely to investigator Janice Rubin. There’s no guarantee that your information or your identity is protected, said Carmel Smythe, president of the Canadian Media Guild. “Every day, it looks less independent, that she’s just now taking orders and supplying all the information to CBC.” CBC asked Rubin, a labour lawyer, to conduct an independent investigation after firing Ghomeshi, 47, as host of the radio show “Q” in October. The broadcaster said it axed Ghomeshi after seeing what it called “graphic evidence” he had caused physical injury to a woman. More than a dozen other women
then stepped forward with allegations he had physically or sexually attacked them, with one woman saying he had sexually harassed her at work but her complaints went nowhere. Ghomeshi has denied the allegations, arguing that he engaged in “rough sex”, but insisting it was always consensual. Earlier this week, the guild cautioned members that Rubin would be recording their interviews with her information that could wind up being used in disciplinary proceedings against them. CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson on Wednesday confirmed that could happen - but only after disciplinary proceedings had already started. Essentially, he said, Rubin would flag the need to take action against an employee in her final report. “If there’s something that she believes needs to be brought to management’s attention based on her investigation, she will do that,” Thompson said. “Any discipline that would be taken would fall to management.”

1. Meet with your Mortgage Broker This important first step is where I get to know you, not just your plans for your new home, but also your goals for the future. I can also offer advice on boosting your credit rating so you are eligible for the best possible mortgage rate, and will outline the extra costs that come with buying and maintaining a home. Be sure to bring all of your questions! 2. Know your purchasing power and buy your home! Before you start house shopping, I can make sure you have a good idea of the amount of mortgage you can qualify for based on your downpayment, income, assets/ liabilities, and credit score. This way you’ll know how much it will cost you to carry the mortgage, and both realtors and sellers will know you’re serious. Now, go house shopping. Let me know if you need a realtor partner. Congratulations, you’ve bought a home!
3. Get your mortgage Your mortgage amount will be finalized based on your purchase price. I will submit your application to the selected lender and advise you of the documentation you need to support your mortgage request. Your lender may need an appraisal of the property. We’ll then receive a commitment from the lender, which includes the mortgage details and any conditions. You’ll need to make sure the conditions are met and forward any additional required documents. Once you have your approval, you can waive your financing condition if you had one. 4. Prepare for the big move Your lender will send your mortgage information to your lawyer. Please let me know if you’d like to be referred to one of my lawyer partners. Approximately 10 days prior to the closing of your home, you’ll meet with your lawyer to provide
identification and your remaining downpayment, sign all of the documents that relate to your new home, and review your closing costs. Then everything will be in place for your completion date!
5. Enjoy your new home! On the day you take possession of your home, your mortgage funds are sent by your lender to your lawyer. Now you can move in and begin enjoying your new home! And thank you for your confidence and trust! The right mortgage is always a great beginning on a smart financial plan for your future.

Fill snow days with activities and fun! A blizzard of white flakes has been falling through the night, and the school phone chain has begun. As expected, children will have a day off from school, leaving parents scrambling for ways to keep children occupied and supervised. Snow days may be coveted by kids (and teachers), but they may not be as beloved by parents who are unaccustomed to having kids home during the week. Working parents whose businesses are open do not have the same luxury as their children to roll over in bed and avoid trekking through the white stuff. But just because snow days are unexpected, that does not mean parents can't plan for them. · Establish a snow
day plan. Parents who cannot take days off from work will need a contingency plan for snow days. Organize a snow day club, wherein school parents rotate taking children for the day. Working parents can reciprocate by taking the school kids on a weekend and letting the other parents have a "date night." · Create a snow day entertainment bin. Rather than having kids spend the day watching television or playing on their tablets, parents can establish a snow day entertainment bin to encourage their kids to make the most of the day off. The bin can include board games, books, building block sets, paints, and other crafts. · Plan for an indoor picnic. Kids will probably want to spend a portion of
the day playing out in the snow. After all of that physical activity, they're bound to be famished. Spread a blanket out on the living room floor and enjoy a picnic of sandwiches, snacks and hot chocolate. Kids will enjoy the novelty of eating this way.
and then eat the fruits of their labors. · Go the movies. If roads are passable, consider a trip to the movie theater, where you can enjoy a matinee. Bring a few friends along and make it a fun-filled outing. · Create snow art. Fill squeeze or squirt bottles with some water and food coloring. Allow kids to go out in the yard and create some pictures with the snow as their canvas.
ing. Cleaning may not be the most exciting snow day activity, but it might be the most productive. Children can spend time sorting through toys and belongings in their rooms. · Take a nature walk. Grab those boots and insulated pants and head outdoors. A walk in the brisk, cold air can boost spirits and introduce kids to the beauty of winter landscapes. Take the camera along and encourage kids to snap pictures of their favorite vistas.
· Get cooking. Another way to fill the day is to have children participate in making meals. A snowy day is a great time to prepare meals for the rest of the week, as well as tinker with hearty, · Catch up on cleanbelly-filling recipes. Older children can help with cutting vegetables and meats, while younger kids can add seasonings to pots and mix ingredients. Involve the kids in choosing which meals to cook. Baking bread is another fun activity and enables GET 7 GAMES FOR THE PRICE OF 6. kids to sculpt dough Available at all Home Games

Holiday living made easy With so much on our plates the holiday season can be hectic. Fortunately, there are many ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable. · If you don't have plastic clips to hang lights around windows and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work just as well. If you're concerned about the color of the wooden clips, paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights. · Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat. · Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First wrap
the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up precious space. · Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in a garage or stack them in a storage bin. · Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters. They're easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters. · A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need from the spool and cut for easy decorating. · Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree.
give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree. · Color-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday decorations in the attic or basement. · Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible
clothing storage hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready.

Holiday menu planning for first-time hosts Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting.
When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips. * Get a head count. Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list. * Decide which type of party you want to host. The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve. A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, including both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees. A less formal gathering gives hosts more leeway. For example, whereas a formal gathering may include soup as an appetizer, hosting a less formal gathering allows hosts to put out some snacks
or bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday pot luck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favorite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course. * Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions. Upon being invited to a holiday dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can eat.
Solicit such information from all of your guests, and do your best to cater to each of your guests' needs. Some guests might be on a gluten-free diet while others may need to limit their sodium intake. You might not be able to meet everyone's demands. Let guests know if they should bring an appropriate snack if you cannot provide one for them. * Include traditional holiday fare. People have grown to expect certain things from holiday meals, be it sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, brisket for Chanukah or holiday cookies or even eggnog at Christmas

parties. When planning the menu, be sure to include at least one of these traditional items, even asking guests for suggestions. Such fare will give the party a genuine holiday feel, and guests will appreciate seeing some items on your dinner table they have enjoyed at their own holiday celebrations over the years.
* Don't overdo it. First-time hosts want to ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it's easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don't have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday
tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals. Hosting a holiday din-
ner for the first time can be nerve-wracking.But there are a variety of steps first-timers can take when preparing their menus to come off looking like old pros.
