B.C. River Forecast Centre releases snow pack report East Kootenay snow pack at 80 per cent of normal C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

It has been a winter without too much snow thus far in 20142015. In fact, the City of Kimberley just this week did its first removal of snow from the downtown area. It is the job of those at the BC River Forecast Centre to keep track of snow packs in order to keep local, regional and provincial governments informed on what to expect for the spring runoff. The Centre has just released its first forecast of the season, and no surprise, it is showing less than normal snow packs all around the province. According to the forecast, East Kootenay snow packs are at 80 per cent of normal. Some areas, like the Okanagan are 90 per cent of normal, while others — South Coast — have only 49 per cent of normal snow accumulation for this time of year. Last year at this time, the Upper Fraser snow pack was 140 per cent of normal. The East Kootenay was 91 per cent of normal. The report says that early winter 2014-2015 has been characterized by a transition to near El Niño (ENSO) conditions, meaning

there could be generally warmer temperatures through out the province, but it likely isn’t a strong enough El Niño to have much effect. By early January, nearly half of the annual BC snowpack has typically accumulated. At this early stage in the season, there are no indications that any regions of the province are developing increased seasonal flood risk, the report says. Currently observed low snow pack in some regions of the province may be an early indication of the potential for lower than normal stream flow in the spring and summer. However, with three or more months left of snow accumulation, these outlooks could change significantly. The seasonal forecasts for the interior, Columbia and Kootenay, and the northeast areas of the province do not indicate temperature conditions will vary much beyond seasonal average conditions but do indicate greater than average precipitation is expected through March 2015. If you look at historical data for the East Kootenay, 2011 was the last year where the snow pack was at 80 per cent. Last year it was at 93 per cent, in 2013, 112 per cent and 2012 at 101 per cent. The snow pack report will be released on February 9, 2015.

hour and a half event. He began with communication,

which according to McCormick is something that you can

never do well enough. However, he said there has been a start in that area with weekly news columns in the Bulletin on Thursdays and trying to engage through the City’s and McCormick’s personal Facebook pages. “This brown bag lunch is an example of what we re trying to do around communication,” he said. He also spoke about customer service. The taxpayers of Kimberley were essentially customers, he said and should expect a certain standard. See MAYOR, page 4

In the spirit of Shakespeare’s famous love story of Romeo and Juliet, Kootenay Christian Academy is set to debut their newest drama production ‘Headin’ for the Hills’ this weekend. The play—a hillbilly take on the tale of the star-crossed lovers—features the shenanigans of the Calhouns and the Tollivers, two feuding families who have disliked each other for the last two hundred years, which makes life interesting for Lee Roy Calhoun and Emmy Lou Tolliver. Showtimes are Jan 15-17 at 7 p.m. at the House of Hope building. Tickets are available at the KCA office or Nails Christian Bookstore.

American Goldfinch flocks. When spring arrives, the goldfinches move northward, but this time, the males have their bright lemon-yellow color, with black wings and tail, and black caps on their heads. The females remain dull in color, for natural protection. Except during the nesting

season, it is a sociable bird that seeks it’s own kind with which to feed and fly. In winter, it mingles with its relatives – the redpolls and siskins – feeding in weedy fields and in orchards close to wooded areas.

Kimberley and area residents probably wondered what we were doing on the first Sunday of January. Ten of us, from Cranbrook, Fernie, Ta Ta Creek and Kimberley, were searching for wild birds because of the 115th annual Christmas Bird Count. Our area, the standard sized 24 kilometer diameter circle, is centered at the junction of Highway 95A and the Lost Dog Ranch Road. The circle includes many of the diverse habitats which characterize this part of the Rocky Mountain Trench. The edges of the circle provide some of the best spots for birding; the St Mary River near Mark Creek, the Wycliffe-Clearview grasslands, Wasa Lake and Wolf Creek feeders, Ta Ta Creek woodlands and the urban areas of Kimberley and Marysville. We formed four groups to tackle the four quadrants as thoroughly as possible during the 9-5pm session. It was cool, calm and grey, and at times it seemed that birds were scarce. Always on the lookout for surprises, we knew from experience that there would be ups and downs. An unexpected flock of Wild Turkeys or an American Robin perched on a spruce tip buoyed our spirits. The American Goldfinch is a lovely creature indeed! During the winter, the male goldfinches are dull in color, like the females, and look like small, yellowish sparrows. They are gregarious, being found in small or medium-sized

Assessment Notices – Property owners in Kimberley should have received their assessment notices in the first week of January. Please check to ensure that your property class is correct and contact the BC Assessment Authority (BCAA) if there is incorrect information. Property owners who feel that their assessment does not reflect market value should contact BC Assessment at 1-866-825-8322. A Notice of Complaint (Appeal) must be submitted to BCAA by February 2nd, 2015. White Garbage Bags – The City asks that residents avoid putting out white garbage bags for pickup, as they are difficult to see and easily missed by City crews. Personal Flushable Wipes - The City asks that residents not flush personal wipes, as they are clogging Kimberley’s sewer system. While toilet paper breaks down after about eight seconds, wipes shows no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through the sewer pipes on their way to the treatment plant. Board of Variance Volunteer Opportunity – The City of Kimberley is accepting applications for Board of Variance members until 4:00 on January 19th. The Board typically meets once per month (10am the 1st Thursday of each month) to review and make decisions on requests to vary zoning bylaw regulations. Contact planning@kimberley.ca Reminder to renew your 2015 Dog licences! Please place the license on the dog’s collar and ensure the collar is on at all times, as this helps enable a speedy return of your beloved pet if it gets loose. Please also pick up after your dog and ensure that your dog(s) are on leash at all times, unless you are in a designated off-leash area. The rules of dog ownership are outlined in the City’s Animal Control Bylaw.

Snow Hauling – Please give City staff room to operate during snow removal. In areas where snow piles are to be hauled away, the City will post temporary “No Parking” signs the afternoon before snow hauling commences. Vehicles will be towed if they do not comply with the signage. Free Family Swim - January 21st 6:00 -7:00 - The free family swim is sponsored by Kimberley Alpine Resort. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Outdoor Skating Rinks -The outdoor rinks are open and in good condition. The outdoor rinks are located at 6th & Moyie, Swan Avenue and DeWolfe Avenue. Winter Market - The Kimberley Winter Market will take place on February 15th at the Kimberley Conference Centre. There is free admission for the public to see what more than 60 vendors have to offer. Vendors can email events@meetkimberley.ca for more information.

Good turnout for first Lunch with Mayor From Page 1 “How do we respond to complaints as they come in? Are we communicating back as quickly as possible about what we are doing about the problem? Residents are customers and we are in place to serve our customers, the public.”

A similar theme over many of the Mayor’s comments was that there were no sacred cows — whether it had to do with facilities or practices, just because something has always been done one way, there was no reason it had to continue that way. For example, a pri-

ority is a Facilities Assessment. “The city owns a lot of buildings, some quite old. There is a lot of money tied up in them all. What repairs are required? Just because we have a building doesn’t mean we have to have it forever. It needs discussion.” A facility review

leads into another new idea, a sports council. McCormick says he’d like all community sports organizations to begin looking at what they’d like to see for sports facilities in ten years. “The Marysville Arena ice plant was just one of a whole bunch of issues. Rath-

er than waiting for breaks, we need a plan. Otherwise you pour all this money into a things as they break and in the end you’ve spent the money and still have an old building. This is also a huge opportunity to look at sharing facilities.” There was also dis-

cussion on the City’s two major projects — the flume and the SunMine — and the perception by taxpayers that the City is unable to manage large projects. McCormick said that there was roughly $3 million left to complete Phase Ii and “If it doesn’t come in under

$3 million, we will not complete it this year.” McCormick said that Phase I was being assessed as to where the cost overruns occurred. The report was being done by City CAO Scott Sommerville, who said that as he came on board after Phase I, he could be an independent auditor in this case. “I definitely feel taxpayers have lost confidence in our ability to manage big projects,” Sommerville said. “We need to fix that.” McCormick said that Council would have a “robust” discussion on the cost over runs. “It’s not going to happen again,” he said. “It can’t happen again. As for the SunMine, McCormick acknowledged that it was behind schedule but said the City could do nothing but lobby BC Hydro. “BC Hydro has never plugged a solar farm into the grid before. They are being super cautious. We are pushing them as much as possible. That’s why it went back to 1 megawatt. We’d like to see it go back to 2. The business case at one megawatt is very tight.” Also discussed were plans to review the OCP and the Sustainability Plan, the Infrastructure Review, Transportation Plan and cutting red tape.

Kimberley Christmas Bird Count From Page 3 You’d think these would be among our first birds to nest, but actually they are some of the last! The reason is because of thistles. They use the thistle down to line their pretty nests and thistle seeds to feed their young. One might easily learn a lesson in patience from the goldfinches, waiting patiently for the indispensable thistle, while seeing all the other birds on every side going ahead with the excitement of building their nests and raising their broods. When nesting season arrives, the female selects a small tree or the outstretched branch of a larger tree. The tree may be in an open field, often along a brook, or along the edge of woods overlooking a field. She builds a neat cup of felted plant fibers and silvery milkweed bark lined with thistle down. The nest is similar to those of various warblers, but differs from them in being wider than it is tall. Altogether it is a beautiful work of art, woven so tightly that it can hold water. Usually the nest is shaded by clusters of leaves or needles from above, but often open and visible from below. Flying high in wide circles around the tree chosen for the nesting site, the male, upon alighting nearby, proceeds to pour forth his sweet canary-like song to the busily engaged female. She answers with a plaintive little phrase which has an indescribable charm. Seven days are required in which to finish the nest, and then the 5 or 6 pale blue unspotted eggs are laid, one a day. The male feeds the female on the nest while she is setting, and when receiving food she flutters her wings like a young bird. Goldfinches delight in bathing in rocky creeks and small streams where the water is shallow. They are exceptionally clean in all their ways. Curiously, Brown-headed Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of smaller songbirds like the goldfinch. However, this finch’s seed diet is insufficient to meet the demands of the growing cowbird young, most of which die within 3 days as a result. The presence of the cowbird does disrupt successful nesting. Breeding bird surveys suggest that populations are stable or decreasing at about 4% per year. De-

creasing amounts of breeding habitat resulting from changing agricultural practices, and the expansion of urban centers, may be contributing to this decline. The Christmas Bird Count indicates an increase in the overwintering population of American Goldfinches. The results of the breeding bird surveys and the CBC are not necessarily contradictory. Increases in the overwintering population may be due to an increase in the number of bird feeders, while the total population may be declining. To understand these population changes, monitoring and study of the factors affecting populations are es-

sential.

Hydro cash grabs endure in B.C.

VAUGHN PALMER

he B.C. Liberals took office as critics of forcing BC Hydro to pay huge dividends to the provincial treasury, seeing the practice as a kind of taxation-by-stealth. “Under the New Democratic Party, BC Hydro has been viewed as little more than a cash cow for the government,” declared Opposition leader and soon-to-be premier Gordon Campbell on the eve of the 2001 election campaign. “Since the NDP was elected, it has siphoned almost $2.5 billion out of BC Hydro into general revenue. This is $2.5 billion that could have gone to reducing the debt of BC Hydro, into the construction of new generation facilities, or been left in the pockets of customers.” The New Democrats were themselves critical of the practice during their days in Opposition. “An insidious form of hidden taxation,” said then Opposition MLA Glen Clark in denouncing the dividends extracted from Hydro by the Social Credit government in the 1980s. Once ensconced in office, Clark and his NDP colleagues soon hiked the dividend formula, defending it as a way to level the playing field with private utilities and, not incidentally, pay for programs. “That money goes to roads and hospitals and schools and services that the public want,” said then NDP cabinet minister (now Opposition house leader) Mike Farnworth in defending a round of dividend-taking in the spring of 1998. That was then, this is now, as they say in political circles. No surprise, then, that once the sides were reversed, the Liberals continued the practice of siphoning money out of Hydro. “It was started by the NDP, but we went along with it,” as Energy Minister Bill Bennett admitted this week. “We did the same

thing as they were doing.” He and Liberal colleagues actually found new ways to milk the beast — witness their practice of diverting hundreds of millions of dollars worth of current-day spending into an elaborate network of deferral accounts. The accounts — which must be repaid some day, just not today — have grown thirty-fold under the Liberals. They now total several billions of dollars worth of deferred spending. The multiple deferrals helped sweeten the bottom line at Hydro, creating (as the auditor general put it) “the appearance of profitability where none actually existed” and providing bogus cover for greater dividend payments to the province. The deferral-to-dividend-to-debt relationship has been implicit in general terms for some time. But the energy ministry quantified the impact this week, in responding to questions from reporter Rob Shaw of The Vancouver Sun. Turns out Hydro has paid $5.4 billion in dividends to the province since 1992, of which 60 per cent — or $3.2 billion — had to be borrowed. Presuming Hydro had been able to use that money to offset its own borrowing needs, the Crown corporation’s current debt ($15.4 billion and counting) would be that much smaller and the upward pressure on rates from interest payments would be reduced as well. Bennett says he has been alert to the problem since his first briefing on being appointed to cabinet following the 2013 election. “This issue of how much money Hydro was paying to government and the fact that they were actually having to borrow to pay dividends — it means that the ratepayer essentially has been loaning money to the taxpayer.” The practice is being phased out, said

Bennett, reiterating a promise first made in the fall of 2013 to wean the province off excessive dependence on dividends from Hydro. Over the next 10 years, the phaseout allows Hydro to retain $3.3 billion that would have otherwise gone to the provincial treasury. “We had a very healthy debate on this internally last year and everybody (in cabinet) agreed it was important to get Hydro on a solid financial footing and give them the capacity to invest in capital,” Bennett told The Sun. “They’re not going to have to borrow as much money because they don’t have to pay as many dividends going forward and they’ll have more cash ... in my opinion, you have to distinguish between the ratepayer and taxpayer.” A long overdue distinction. But not without consequences, unintended or otherwise. For the Liberals are brightening the long-term financial picture at Hydro just as the utility prepares to take on the $8.8-billion hydroelectric project at Site C on the Peace River. And in choosing Site C over the more flexible option of smaller-scale and privately built clean energy projects, the Liberals insisted that the Hydro project was the cheaper of the two. As evidence, they cited a purported reduction in Hydro’s cost of producing a given megawatt of power, derived, in part, from the cut in dividend payments and the further savings from a cabinet-ordered reduction in water rentals. So even as Bennett and his colleagues take credit for turning thumbs down on further cash grabs from Hydro, they would appear to have put the thumb back on the scales in favour of Site C.

More than anxiety and depression Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia

ast week we talked about the stresses teenagers face as they transition to adulthood. Adding to that challenging journey, which all teens must make, is the fact that 75 per of all mental health conditions show up in the teen and early adult years. Today we talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, which tend to first show their signs and symptoms between the ages of 13 and 25. As noted last week, and in all the columns to date: If you are worried that your child or teen may be showing signs of a mental illness, talk to your family doctor, or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office nearest to you. Bipolar: Originally called manic-depression, bipolar disorder is marked by extreme shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, ranging from severe depression on one side to mania on the other. During a manic episode, the youth will be highly talkative, energetic, full of ideas and enthusiasms, may take risks or behave impulsively, and may even become jittery, sleepless and irritable. During a depressive episode, the youth is very tired or feels slowed down, is very sad and hopeless,

has a hard time concentrating or making decisions, and may also be restless or irritable. Different types of bipolar disorder have different extremes in moods and different speeds of cycling between them, but most high or low episodes last several days or longer. Sometimes the extremes in moods can bring on psychosis — losing touch with reality and having hallucinations (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or feeling things that are not actually there) and delusions (a strong, illogbelief, such as feeling Dr. David ical one’s actions are being Smith controlled by others.) Early psychosis intervention, called EPI, is very successful. An EPI program exists in many communities in each health authority in BC, see earlypsychosis.ca. Bipolar disorder is known to run in families, but most individuals who have a family member with the disorder will never develop this condition — some other trigger is often needed and research is not yet clear what that is. Many famous and highly successful individuals have bipolar disorder, in part because the manic phase can produce extreme creativity and productivity. Yet the disorder can cause havoc with family relationships, jobs and finances. Substance use, particularly excessive alcohol consumption, is common with the disorder, especially during a manic phase. Significant mood changes can be stabi-

lized with various medications, or their combinations, plus different types of psychotherapy. With long-term treatment productive lives can be lived. Attention to good sleep, healthy diet and exercise, regular routines, and avoidance of mind-altering substances, along with medication and therapy, can minimize the number of mood episodes. For more information see Mood Disorders Association of BC, mdabc.net; and heretohelp.bc.ca; Schizophrenia: Perhaps no mental health diagnosis causes parents and youth more fear than schizophrenia, which is marked by losing touch with reality and experiencing hallucination, delusions, disorganization and cognitive impairment, such as poor judgement and decision-making. But the outlook need not be bleak: treatment works, and recovery and a return to good functioning occurs regularly. About one per cent of all British Columbians have this illness and it affects men and women equally, but first symptoms often appear for men between ages 16 and 20, and women between ages 20 and 30. While schizophrenia also runs in families, it usually needs more than just genetics to arise, although exactly what else triggers it is not fully known. Sometimes it occurs in individuals with no family history, perhaps as a result of a subtle or past brain injury.

with Team Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, tallied a pair of sparkling goals to give his team a 2-0 lead in the first period before completing the trick with a third-period marker that stood as the eventual game-winner. “Brayden Point put his team on his shoulders tonight,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone following the game. “[Point] is committed to every shift he plays, with and without the puck.” The performance of Point, who sits second on the Warriors with 20 goals and 50 points in 33 games, served as a stark contrast to the play of some of McGill’s most dangerous offensive threats. “Zero killer instinct and very inconsistent play with some of our top players,” McGill said. The Warriors built a 3-0 lead in the second period when Torrin White snapped a breakaway opportunity over the glove of Ice starting goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. Austin Vetterl and Rinat Valiev responded before the middle period came to a close, but Point’s third-period goal restored the two-goal advantage for the hosts. Ice captain Sam Reinhart, who suited up with Point at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, scored past the midpoint of the final period to cut the lead to one, but that’s all the Ice were able to muster. Warriors goaltender Zach Sawchenko made 30 stops and McGill credited his strong play as one of the other factors in the Warriors’ Wednesday victory. At the other end, Hoflin turned aside 14 of the 18 shots sent his way. The Ice power play was 0-for-5 on the night, while the Warriors were 1-for-2 with the man advantage. Coming into Wednesday’s game, the Moose Jaw power play was ranked 22nd in the WHL with a 14.1 percent success rate.

Power-play woes haunt Kootenay Ice Moose Jaw Warriors defeat Ice in first of three-game road trip through Saskatchewan

Continued from page 8 “Commitment to keeping it simple. Commitment to attacking quickly off of a pass. Commitment to really trying to develop a killer instinct around the net.

Be determined to score,” McGill said of what he needs from his power play. “We’re not there. We’re perimetre, we’re casual and we’re lacking that killer instinct right

now.” Wednesday’s tilt was a physical one, with the two clubs combining for 73 minutes in penalties. Leading the way was Warriors forward Jaimen Yakubowski, who

was slapped with 20 minutes in penalties after receiving a five-minute major for checking to the head (accompanied by a game misconduct) in the third period.

Yakubowski caught Reinhart at the blue-line and lunged at the Ice captain. Yakubowski also fought Ice forward Austin Vetterl in the first period.

Vetterl dropped the gloves with Yakubowski in response to a hit on defenceman Troy Murray. The 17-year-old Murray left the game and did not return, while Vetterl was handed an instigating minor and 10-minute misconduct on top of his five-minute fighting major. “I don’t think we responded very well at all [to the physical play],” McGill said. “Yeah, there was a couple fights. That, to me, is not response. “I think [our players] always stick up for each other, but our commitment to having killer instinct with opportunity and on the power play was not good. Not good.” The loss was the fourth in a row for the Kootenay Ice, leaving them four points back of the fifth-place Edmonton Oil Kings in the Central Division race. In the WHL’s Eastern Conference wild-card race, the Ice cling to the

second and final wildcard slot -- three points ahead of the Warriors. Next up, the Kootenay Ice travel to Prince Albert for a date with the Raiders Friday night.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week January 11 - 17

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1904 SUDDEN DEATH … Last Wednesday, Carl Band, the promoter of the new brewery, slipped on the roof of a building under construction at the brewery site, and fell about eighteen feet, sustaining injuries from which he died Thursday morning about 8:30. He was on the roof laying the shingles in place to expedite the work of the carpenters. A strong wind prevailed and some of the shingles were blown loose. In an attempt to grab them, he slipped and was thrown head first off the roof onto the frozen ground below. At first it was not thought that his injuries were serious, and he protested against being taken to the Cranbrook hotel, where he was stopping. Later he consented and walked easily to the wagon in which he rode to town. Arriving at the hotel he was taken inside and soon afterward conveyed to St. Eugene hospital and Dr. Green summoned. The developments in the case by this time gave evidence of concussion of the brain. The victim became unconscious, and lingered through the night, expiring soon after daylight this morning. SEVEN MINERS KILLED ... A Bad Explosion at the Michel Coal

Mines, Michel, Jan. 8th. A disastrous explosion occurred in No. 3 mine, operated by the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company this afternoon, whereby six miners were instantly killed. The victims of the explosion were: D. Roberts, William McAllister, Jack Sale, William King, Burkett Dean, and Tom Evans. Two other miners were seriously injured, but it is thought, not fatally. A miner named D. Thomas is missing and a relief party is hard at work trying to find him. Several miners in the relief parties were overcome by gas and were being continually brought out of the mine for air. Their places were speedily filled by willing volunteers. The accident has cast a terrible gloom over this little community. Coroner Trites is holding an inquest tonight on the six bodies recovered. THAT SUNDAY MAIL ... Postmaster Beattie was interviewed the past week by the Ministerial association in regard to the Sunday mails. The members of the association presented a paper signed by nearly all box holders stating they did not want their mail on Sundays and in accordance with this request no incoming Sunday mails will be sorted until Monday morning. Outgoing mail will be dispatched as usual. WHAT A JOKE … The C. P. R. claiming that the lumbermen of the Kootenays are getting too much for their product is the best joke of the New Year. There is not a lumber

manufacturer in the Kootenays who is not cultivating a bank manager. It will be necessary to go farther than the manufacturers to locate the cause of the high price of lumber on the prairies. EXPANDING FARM … John Hamilton, who has the fine fruit farm just west of town, is planting many more new trees as well as small fruits. He is also embarking into the chicken business on a large scale and is putting up a chicken house for hatching purposes 60 feet long. Mr. Hamilton has demonstrated that this climate is particularly favorable to the raising of a fine class of, fruit, and last year he raised some of the finest strawberries and currants ever produced in any country. CPR LAND DEPARTMENT FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA … The Canadian Pacific Railway Company owns large areas of choice agricultural lands in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts of Southern British Columbia which are offered for sale at from $1 to $5 per Acre on easy terms of payment. Timber leases can also be obtained on reasonable conditions LOOK OUT MEN … There are a lot of young men in Cranbrook who will have to look out this year. There may be a few young ladies who will try to take advantage of their leap year privileges. LOOKOUT … If C. H. Dunbar don’t recognize you on the street, don’t be surprised. He broke his

1905 THOROUGHLY RELIABLE … Our $7 watch. It’s a hummer, sixteen size, thin model in gun metal, 15 jeweled, nickel movement with non-magnetic Buguet hairspring, gold hands, fancy dial. Can’t be beat at the price. Shall we send you one? Guaranteed by us for one year and good for ten year’s wear. Wilson, The Jeweler. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE … Messrs. Caven and Bates, the scientific farmers, are talking of starting an agricultural college in Cranbrook. The Dominion government has offered them some very flattering inducements and if the local government can be properly influenced Cranbrook may have a hayseed institution of learning. OPERA ANYONE? … Sometime next spring some wise chap will suddenly make up his mind to invest a few thousands in an opera house hall, and when it is completed he will sit down and enjoy an income of fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars a year. And then everybody will say he is smart. FELL DOWN A CHUTE ... Last Saturday two miners working in the St. Eugene mine at Moyie in some manner fell through some boards that they had over the top of a chute and dropped one of them, M. B. Hazlett, going to the bottom, a dis-

tance of one hundred and twenty feet, the other, Ed Shearer, fortunately stopping at a much less distance and escaping with slight injuries. Mr. Hazlett, however, was badly bruised from head to foot but sustained no fractures. He was brought to Cranbrook that afternoon and taken to the St. Eugene hospital, where he is now doing very well. A FINE PRESENT ... Charles Holden of the Winnipeg Rubber Company, has made a nice present to the Cranbrook fire brigade in the way of badges. There is a gold one for the chief, a silver one for the assistant chief, and silver one for two foremen, the secretary and twenty-three members. The badges are a fine piece of work nicely inscribed and cost in the neighborhood of fifty dollars. DRINK ... Cranbrook Beer. Made from the best malt and purest water, it is unexcelled for quality. Ask for Cranbrook Beer and insist on having it. The Cranbrook Brewing & Malting Co. Ltd. Also Manufacturers of all kinds of Aerated Waters, Cranbrook, British Colombia. COME ON IN … We want the ladies of Cranbrook and surrounding towns to drop in, or drop us a post card and give us their names, for which they will receive by mail coupons good for one piece of the celebrated Stanley & Co.’s imported Graniteware. J. D. McBride. Do not procrastinate.

Seas rising faster than in the past, study says Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The world’s oceans are now rising far faster than they did in the past, a new study says. The study found that for much of the 20th century — until about 1990 — sea level was about 30 per cent less than earlier research had figured. But that’s not good news, scientists say, because about 25 years ago the seas started rising faster and the acceleration in 1990 turns out to be more dramatic than previously calculated. The current sea level rise rate — which started

in 1990 — is 2.5 times faster than it was from 1900 to 1990, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Scientists say that faster pace of sea level rise is from melting ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica and shrinking glaciers, triggered by man-made global warming. “We’re seeing a significant acceleration in the past few decades,” said study lead author Carling Hay, a geophysical researcher at Harvard University. “It’s concerning for cities along the U.S. East Coast” where water levels are rising even faster

than the world average. “It’s definitely something that can’t be ignored,” Hay said. Previous research said that between 1900 and 1990, the seas rose about two-thirds of an inch (20 millimeters) a decade. The new study recalculates the 19001990 rate to less than half an inch a decade. Old and new research both say that since 1990 seas are rising at about 1.2 inches a decade. While hundreds of tide gauges around the world have been measuring sea levels since 1900, they have mostly been in Europe and

better simulate the areas in the gap, Mitrovica said. Outside scientists praised the new study, but were still cautious about adopting the estimates until more studies could be done. “The implications are troubling — accelerated ocean warming, ice sheet collapse and sea level rise all point to more and more sea level rise in the future, perhaps at a faster rate than previously thought,” said Jonathan Overpeck, co-director of the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona.

The winner, who will be announced in Toronto on March 2, will also get to choose who receives the RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Writers Award, which comes with a cheque for $10,000.

Former King of Spain faces paternity claim

A s s o c i at e d P r e s s

MADRID - Spain’s beleaguered former King Juan Carlos came under another cloud Wednesday: a paternity suit. The nation’s Supreme Court said it will investigate a paternity claim

filed against the 77-yearold monarch by a Belgian woman who says her mother had a relationship with him in the 1960s while he was crown prince. Ingrid Sariau maintains her mother had a

relationship with Juan Carlos that lasted into 1966, the year she was born. Juan Carlos and former Queen Sofia were married in 1962. Juan Carlos could be ordered to take a paternity test if there is sufficient

evidence to back the woman’s case, a court spokesman said. The spokesman said the court had dismissed a second paternity claim, saying it lacked legal basis. The official spoke on condition of anonymi-

ty because court rules prohibit him from being named. The royal palace declined to comment, saying only that it respected the judiciary’s independence. Juan Carlos was im-

mune from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits while king. He lost that privilege after he abdicated in June in favour of his son, Felipe. He said he was stepping down after a four-decade reign to allow

Astronauts tackle false alarm scare at ISS Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In a rare scare, astronauts fled the American side of the International Space Station on Wednesday after an alarm indicated a possible toxic leak. NASA later said there was no leak of ammonia coolant and a computer problem likely set off the false alarm. By Wednesday afternoon, the astronauts were back in the U.S. part of the orbiting outpost. Earlier, the six crew members had huddled safely on the Russian side - once when the alarm sounded and again following an initial all-clear. “Hey everybody, thanks for your concern,” Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti said via Twitter. “We’re all safe & doing well in the Russian segment.” The “unscheduled excitement,”

as NASA called it, occurred around 4 a.m. EST, well into the station crew’s workday. As alarms blared, the astronauts followed emergency procedures in slapping on oxygen masks, taking cover in the Russian quarters, then sealing the hatches between the U.S. and Russian sides. At the same time, flight controllers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston turned off non-essential equipment. Within minutes, Mission Control gave an all-clear, but sent the astronauts scurrying back over to the Russian side again when there was more evidence of a possible leak of the coolant. The highly toxic liquid ammonia, flowing outside the space station, is used to cool electronics. Flight controllers originally feared it had gotten into the water system running

inside. Now, it’s believed that a failed card in a computer-relay box was the culprit. The crew - three Russians, two Americans and the Italian Cristoforetti - stayed in the three, relatively small Russian compartments while Mission Control analyzed data. Engineers wanted to understand the computer failure and confirm “that the system is tight like we believe it to be,” space station program manager Mike Suffredini said on NASA TV. About 11 hours after the ammonia system-alarm sounded, the hatch to the U.S. segment was reopened. Cristoforetti and U.S. astronaut Terry Virts ran tests and no ammonia was detected. When the alarm went off, the crew had been dealing with supplies and experiments from the newly arrived SpaceX capsule - including

L A N I F

fruit flies. None of the research appears to be jeopardized, Suffredini said. Russian space officials at first reported an actual leak, then backed off that statement. The 260-mile-high complex has never had to be abandoned during its 14-year-plus occupation by astronauts. On occasion, crews have had to seek shelter in their Soyuz capsule “lifeboats” because of close shaves with orbiting junk, in case a quick getaway was needed. This time, the astronauts went into one of the three Russian modules as trained for an emergency, but not the two docked Soyuz capsules. Besides Cristoforetti and Virts, the crew includes Commander Butch Wilmore, an American, and Russians Elena Serova, Alexander Samokutyaev and Anton Shkaplerov.

younger blood to rally a country trying to shrug off an economic crisis and a one-in-four jobless rate. However, the palace had become embroiled in several scandals in recent years. Wednesday’s decision comes after a Palma de Mallorca judge last week confirmed that Juan Carlos’ younger daughter, Princess Cristina, would be tried on charges of tax fraud. She will be the first member of the royal family to stand trial since the monarchy was restored in 1975. Juan Carlos was for decades held in high esteem for steering Spain from military dictatorship to democracy. He took over the throne in 1975, two days after the death of longtime dictator Gen. Francisco Franco. But his reputation plummeted after he took a secret elephant hunting trip to Botswana in 2012 at the height of Spain’s financial crisis. He later apologized for the trip.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Baldy Ridge Extension Project Open House and Invitation to Comment Teck Coal Limited (Proponent) is proposing to extend the working life of the Elkview mine by developing and operating the proposed Baldy Ridge Extension Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be located approximately 2.5 km east of Sparwood, British Columbia, and would produce an estimated 6.8 million tonnes of clean coal per year. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. This task is done through the Valued Components Selection Document. To provide information about Valued Components Selection, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. There will be one Open House, to be held as follows: at:

on:

Sparwood Seniors Centre 101 4th Avenue, Sparwood (next to Lilac Terrace Seniors Housing) January 22, 2015

from: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to Valued Components Selection. The comment period will begin on January 15, 2015 and end on February 16, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to Valued Components Selection will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: •By Online Form at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca •By Mail: Kate Haines Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 •By Fax: Fax: 250-356-7477 An electronic copy of the Valued Components Selection Document and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Valued Components Selection Document are also available for viewing at these locations: Teck Community and Aboriginal Affairs Office 116 Centennial St, Sparwood 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday Sparwood Library 110 Pine Avenue, Sparwood Elkview Operations Main Gate RR 1, Hwy 3, Sparwood, V0B 2G1 If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

NOTE: All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have known each other since high school. We reconnected five years ago, and for the past 18 months, we’ve been living together. At first, my boyfriend was loving and sweet and promised all sorts of dreams for our future. But after several months, he changed. He became distant, sometimes even cruel in his actions. I begged him to tell me if there was another woman, but he always denied it, in spite of rumors and the fact that things just seemed off. The problem is, even after all this time, I still have moments when I’m convinced he had a fling with a certain woman, and I can’t get over it. He still denies it, and I am confused and hurt. But when I ask, he will respond by withdrawing from me for months. I believe he did have an affair and never got over her and that’s why we have so little intimacy now. I have been praying and am seeing a counselor, but I can’t seem to let it go completely. Is there something wrong with me? Or is my intuition telling me that he deceived me and is continuing to lie about it? All my friends say either to let it go or to end it, but I don’t want to leave him, and I have no control over my thoughts and feelings. Please help. -- Louise in Louisville Dear Louise: Actually, you do have some control over those thoughts and feelings, but it takes effort and willingness. Your intuition is telling you that your boyfriend is not being completely honest, and you have become fixated on knowing something that he probably will never tell you. And it could be that there is nothing to tell. Because you wish to stay with him, please talk to your counselor about how to forgive him, and then do the necessary work to get there. Dear Annie: I would like to write a note to all smokers: News flash. You smell like a dirty ashtray. Always. You try to be nice and go outside to have your cigarette, but when you come back in, you still smell like an ashtray. You smoke in your car so you can have your cigarette before you arrive at your destination, but when you walk into the room, you still smell. Your clothes reek of smoke -always. No amount of perfume covers it up. Just thought you’d like to know. I know I’m tired of smelling you. -- A Nonsmoker Dear Nonsmoker: Although what you say is true, it is not so simple. Most smokers are well aware of the lingering odor, not to mention the yellowing teeth and nails, frequent cough, and looming lung cancer. The downside has been well-documented and -publicized. But smoking is highly addictive. For some, giving it up is nearly impossible, no matter how much effort they put into trying. Though smoking in the car or outside the office is not ideal, it is better than nothing. Dear Annie: I’d like to offer a more positive response to all those mothers who complain about their daughters-in-law. My son is married to a wonderful woman. She is a great mother to their two children and stepmother to his daughter. I love this woman with all of my heart. I am always welcome in their home as they are in mine. I can have the grandchildren whenever I want. When their daughter was born, my daughter-in-law gave me the most wonderful gift: She allowed me to be in the delivery room for the birth. What a precious woman my son married. I called her “daughter,” because to me, that is what she is. My own mother-in-law was not very kind to me, and I vowed I would be different. Sometimes it takes a little work, and sometimes your son marries an angel. -- Mother-in-Law of an Angel Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

John McArter passed away on January 3rd after a courageous battle with cancer. John was born in Toronto and grew up in London, Ontario. He moved to BC where he stayed for the rest of his life. John was an honest, hard working man who would always lend a hand to friends in need. He was an avid reader and could converse on many subjects. He loved to spend an afternoon on the golf course and his love of golf was only exceeded by his notorious slice. John is survived by his wife Dona, daughter Amanda, step children; Gary, Roseanne, and Shannon, grandchildren; Jordan, Kaden, Julianna, Jazlynn, Colby, Madison and Kayla and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;boys,â&#x20AC;? Diesel and Nitro. He also leaves his sister Sandra, nephew Jeffrey, niece Laura and great niece Eleanor. John was predeceased by his beloved mother Ella. In keeping with Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes there will be no service. He wanted all of his friends and family to remember him by going to your favourite pub and hoisting a few in his name and sharing some memories. His exuberance, wit and bright mind shall be missed by us all. Memorial donations made to the Canadian Cancer society would be appreciated.

On the evening ofÂ Thursday, January 8, 2015Â Priscilla Joyce Jolie passed away peacefully at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 93 years. Percy was a wonderful mother to her children.

Â Percy and Alf were long-time residents of Kimberley and truly loved living there. Â Alf and Percy loved the outdoors and camping was another one of their many enjoyable times together. Â Many good times were spent withÂ family and friends around the campfire. Â She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. A special thank you to Mifi Volard and her family for their ongoing care and support in this difficult time.Â Percy leaves to mourn her passing her four sons; Terry, Jack, Jim and Lloyd and by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Â She also leaves behind her 1 brother and 3 sisters as well as many other extended family members. Â She was predeceased by her husband Alfred in 1996 and her two sons, Keith and Barry.

Coming Events

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Miracle! Young Stu and Heather Miskow are pleased to announce that our little princess Brandi is with child at 6 months and is due latter part of April. This is where as her Dad, I get confused. I told her she was supposed to stay a virgin until I died, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how this happened so when I questioned her about it she said she was going to change her name to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maryâ&#x20AC;? and mumbled something about immaculate conception. Something else that bothers me is that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the one and only key to her chastity belt around my neck since puberty. Who is this Rick guy? A locksmith, or magician? All I know is he is the guy that ravished my little princess. My first job as a Grandpa is to teach the kid to say no and why and argue like Brandi did. We all know Grammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to shop. Eventually she will have enough Air Miles to fly around the world. Nobody knows what the gender will be. Brandi might be trading her motorbike and skis in on nappies. A baby is something you carry inside of you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart until you die. Brandi, enjoy your thunder thighs and no social life. Congrats to you both, Mom & Dad

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.

Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia Continued from page 7

In the last decade, new antipsychotic medication and the introduction of Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) programs, noted above, are greatly helping newly diagnosed people with schizophrenia. Like bipolar disorder, along with the right combination of medication, good sleep, healthy diets, regular exercise, established routines and avoiding mind-altering substances will help those with the diagnosis live full and productive lives.

In fact, dynamic and well-spoken individuals like BC’s Brent Seal, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while a university student and now runs a company called “Seal Wellness” are helping change the face of schizophrenia. Seal, a mountain climber, ultra-marathoner, wellness coach and inspirational speaker, as well as others who are thriving after a schizophrenia diagnosis, show that good, meaningful lives are possible with

the right treatment. For more information about schizophrenia in BC see earlypsychosis.ca; mindcheck.ca; the BC Schizophrenia Society, bcss.org; and the Canadian Mental Health Association BC chapter, cmha. bc.ca.

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. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

Flu shot lowers risk of rare side effect in most seasons Helen Branswell Canadian Press

TORONTO - A new study suggests that for most people in most flu seasons, getting a flu shot actually lowers their risk of developing a rare neurological condition that has been linked to the vaccine. The study, by researchers in Ottawa, assesses the net effect of getting a flu shot or getting infected with flu on one’s risk of developing Guillain-Barre syn-

drome. Guillain-Barre syndrome triggers progressive paralysis that can be fatal but from which most people recover. All the cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome are not known, but it is recognized that some infections raise the risk of developing the condition and getting a flu shot can increases one’s risk slightly. The researchers, from The Ottawa Hospital,

wanted to see if that small increased risk was balanced out or exceeded by the risk posed by contracting influenza. And they found in most seasons, the risk of developing the condition after catching the flu was higher than the risk of developing it after getting a flu shot. “The take-home message is that most of the time, in most of the scenarios we’re seeing, the vaccination actually re-

features Acknowledging unworthiness a step in the process

Anastasia Bartlet t

long time ago, I volunteered at a group home for recovering drug addicts. It was my first introduction to a 12-step program. What struck me initially was every single one of the participants introduced themselves as a drug addict. I could understand why the people who had just joined would do so, but not those in charge of the home, people who hadn’t

touched drugs for twenty or thirty years. Shouldn’t they call themselves recovered drug addicts or former drug addicts? Why did they still call themselves drug addicts? I’ve since learned; once an addict always an addict and consciously admitting that and daily resisting the urge to fall back into it is the way to recovery; much like the Orthodox Church deals with sin. When we became Orthodox, we called our-

selves sinners. This differed from some previous teaching where members were taught to pray a prayer, become new creatures and, ipso facto, be sinners no more. In fact, some people from our past refused to associate with us after we became Orthodox because, as they told us, we called ourselves sinners so what did that make them? Personally, I had no problem admitting being a sinner since I had grown up in the Anglican church

where we prayed every Sunday; We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. Now, I had wondered about this prayer as a child. Since Christ died for us, weren’t we all special in God’s eyes? So why weren’t we worthy? Then I learned about the Greek mother who humbly approached Jesus for healing for her daughter in Mark 7. Jesus tells her he is there to minister to the

children of Israel and one doesn’t give the children’s bread to the dogs. The woman replies by saying, “but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” Jesus commends her faith and heals her daughter. Acknowledging unworthiness was really emphasized to me in the parable of the pharisee and the publican. Both came to the temple. The pharisee proudly stood before God and listed all of his righteous deeds and comparing himself to the publican. Meanwhile, the publican prostrated before the altar in repentance and tears, asking God for forgiveness. Even though the pharisee truly did keep to the letter of the law, he actually condemned himself before God because he refused to acknowledge he could ever think or act in anyway sinful. The publican knows he’s acted sinfully and so easily acknowledged his capacity for sin in thought and word, as well as in deed. Because he repented, he was forgiven. Basically the only unforgiven sin is the one from which there is no repentance. Sin is an addiction into which we are born and it is treated as such by the Orthodox Church. You could say the Church is the original 12 step program; acknowledgement, repentance and making amends. This is accomplished with the support of other sinners on the same journey toward recovery. Sin is ever present and ever tempting, and the Church is a hospital for sinners run by sinners, much like the group home at which I volunteered at all those years ago. It is a place where I, as a sinner, can come for help, therapy and support. But first I have to admit that I am truly, and always will be, a sinner. 1 John 7-9; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.…
