Cranbrook Williams Moving and Storage still in business Local company under separate ownership than Vancouverheadquartered operation, which has declared bankruptcy ARNE PETRYSHEN
Williams Moving & Storage Ltd., which includes the Cranbrook and Lethbridge branches, is not affected by the recent announcement that the B.C. and Alberta-wide business has gone bankrupt. Williams Moving & Storage filed for bankruptcy this week after 86 years in business. Cory Stepney, manager and owner of Williams Moving & Storage
(Cranbrook) Ltd. said his business is not affected because it’s under separate ownership from the Vancouver-based company. “Williams Moving & Storage (Cranbrook) Ltd. is a separately owned identity,” Stepney explained. “Everything is run separately, so we weren’t part of the operating company that had to shut down.” See BUSINESS, page 4

MP David Wilks
including Nelson, Salmo, and Kaslo, made it necessary for the National Conservative Party to open a nomination process to select the candidate for the next general election. Every Conservative party member of the riding was notified by mail from the national office that a nomination process would take place, with a specific closing date. In
preparation the local Electoral District Association chose a candidate selection committee to interview prospective applicants, for the position currently held by M.P. David Wilks. National Party headquarters then informed us that they had only received one complete application, by the close of the designated time. See WILKS, page 3

‘Corner Gas’ Star to Perform in Cranbrook F o r t h e To w n s m a n
The creator and star of the wildly popular television sitcom “Corner Gas” is coming to Cranbrook. B.C. Interior audiences will get a chance to see and hear Brent Butt up close and personal when he takes his stand-up act on the road next May. That will include a stop at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on May 12 at 7:30 p.m. Butt became known in Canada for his clean and relaxed comedic style, and after several tv specials, he created “Corner Gas” in 2004, and starred in the role of Brent Leroy. The series was an instant hit for CTV, becoming the top sitcom on Canadian television and eventually aired in 26 countries. The final season for the show was 2009, but the show continues to maintain its popularity today, with constant reruns on the Comedy Network and CTV. “Corner Gas” received Gemini awards, Canadian Comedy awards, Director’s Guild awards, Leo awards and was voted the “Funniest Show on TV”, by TV
Guide readers. Just this past Christmas season, “Corner Gas: The Movie” hit the big screen. It was originally given a limited run in select cities, but became so popular with fans that it was given a longer run with additional cities added to its distribution. In an uncommon move, the return to Dog River with its beloved cast, also made its network broadcast debut on the Movie Network, CTV and the comedy Network in the same month as its theatrical release. Brent Butt was born and raised in the small farming community of Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Brent honed his comedic storytelling prowess at the local coffee shop, and his career, which was the subject of an episode of the cultural affairs program, Adrienne Clarkson Presents, is an interesting one. He has become a regular at Just For Laughs, as well as appearing on numerous national and international television programs. Aside from his own national special, Bedtime with Brent Butt, he has been seen on A
and E, HBO, CBC, CTV, and Global. Butt has appeared in various productions including Kids in the Hall, The X-Files, Cold Squad, Millennium, and the movie, Duets, starring Gwyneth Paltrow. He was named “Best Male Stand-Up in Canada” at the 2001 Canadian Comedy Awards, and has hosted the Juno Awards. In 2013, Brent was honoured with a Queen Elizabeth 11 Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to community and country. Making his home in Vancouver, Brent Butt continues to tour the country performing in theatres and clubs. “I love what I do,” Butt says. “I look at it as just having coffee. Only now it’s with hundreds of people at a time.” Tickets for a memorable night of comedy with Brent Butt live, and special guest Jamie Hutchinson, go on sale Friday, January 30, at the Key City Theatre box office or call 250-426-7006, or on line at www.keycitytheatre.com. It is a presentation of the Kootenay Conbureau.espeakers.com cert Connection. Brent Butt is making a stop at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on May 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Kimberley man in the running for Premier’s Excellence Award C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley is chockfull of people doing interesting, and sometimes award winning, things. One of those interesting people is Gary Glinz, who volunteers as chair of Kimberley’s Urban Deer Committee. Glinz’s career was with BC Parks and he now runs a business called Rangeland Consulting. BC parks announced late last week that they would be raising rates for camping at all BC Parks this year by $2 per night. The press release (see below) stated that the province had done a considerable amount of capital investment at its parks. Glinz was a part of some of that investment and recently received honourable mention in the Premiers Awards for Innovation and Excellence for his work on upgrading the
Liard River Hot Springs area. The Liard River Hot Springs are on the Alaska Highway in northern B.C., a very popular stop for those driving the famous route. Glinz worked as project manager on this very interesting upgrade. “We used a lot of unique materials,” he said. “It’s such a wet, acidic environment and there’s a red listed species. It’s a warm water snail that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. We had to be careful not to damage the snails.” Glinz says all natural materials were used, such as cedar, a very hard wood called red beleau, joists made out of iron wood — a wood so dense it doesn’t float. “All the material used has a super long life. Our architect was a First Nations guy named Alfred Waugh. The de-
sign is sort of like a First Nations hunting camp.” The job was made more difficult by having to work in the hot springs themselves. “It was challenging. You had 42 degree water and above the water it’s 25 below. You’re half in and half out. Plus there’s no electricity, it’s remote. If you forget a screw, you have to drive four or five hours. “I was only a small cog in a big project, but I’m pretty proud of myself. That project was pretty unique. BC Parks have really upgraded a lot of their facilities. That’s one of their flagship parks.” Glinz does have a sense of humour about not actually winning the Premiers Award. “We got beat out by some highways guy who invented some software. How can that be?”
Wilks will be Conservative candidate From Page 1 The local nomination committee then interviewed David Wilks and unanimously approved him. The district association now declares that our current MP David Wilks is acclaimed the candidate for the next election.
The Kootenay-Columbia AGM elected more than twenty directors who have now chosen Dave Reeves (Cranbrook) as president, Garry Kalinski (Nelson) as Vice, to be assisted by Sandy McLeod (Kootenay Lake), Judy Wiwchar (Cranbrook) as secretary, and Gary Habart
Still in business From Page 1 Stepney said that while the news of the storage and moving company’s closing was a surprise, his own employees weren’t worried about the state of the local business. “All my employees here knew that we were okay no matter what happens — because we are a separate company,” Stepney said. “They all know we’re a separate company and we have nothing to do with the B.C. division.” Stepney said they are open for business and there are no worries of
closing down. “We do storage, moving, commercial ... everything,” he said. “Everything’s the same in the Cranbrook and Lethbridge area.” Coquitlam-headquartered Williams Moving & Storage closed up shop suddenly following a Wednesday afternoon meeting and conference call where they informed employees the company would be filing under the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. A notice posted on the Unifor Local 114 blog said the 3 p.m. meeting
and call brought together all its B.C. and Alberta employees where they were informed the company wasn’t making money and that it would close with all its assets to be put up for auction. According to the notice, the company said it “has been trading unprofitably for a period of time and has not been able to restructure appropriately in the current economic and competitive environment,” and that trade and operations would cease as of Wednesday.

Fee changes to support increased investment in BC Parks VICTORIA - To maintain high service levels in B.C. provincial parks for an increasing number of visitors, the Province is raising camping fees as of March 15, 2015. This increase comes after years of investment delivering capital projects aimed at attracting young families, offering new recreation opportunities and increasing attendance in provincial parks. Over the past five years, BC Parks has invested approximately $60 million in park facilities, and has approximately $700 million of investment in infrastructure that requires maintenance. “British Columbia’s world-renowned parks provide superb recreational opportunities for visitors from throughout the province and around the world,” said Mary Polak, Minister of Environment. “From diverse terrain to temperate climate, our parks are truly a unique treasure. By increasing user fees in campgrounds, campers who use the parks system are helping to keep it sustainable for future generations to enjoy.” Fee increases are nominal to ensure camping remains affordable for families and visitors enjoying B.C.’s world class parks system - one of the largest protected areas systems in the world.
While the fee schedule varies, the vast majority of provincial campsites will see a $2 per night increase, while others will see slightly larger increase in price, to a maximum of $5 per night. The last system-wide increase was in 2010. For a complete list of campgrounds and updated fees, visit: www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/ fees/userfees.pdf The increase is expected to generate $1.3 million this year for B.C.’s protected areas system. All revenue from the increased fees will be put back into maintaining and enhancing the parks system. There are no increases to fees for sani-stations, mooring buoys, backcountry camping, picnic shelters, or group camping. Parking remains free in all provincial parks. Quick Facts: • All BC Parks user fees are inclusive of taxes, making it easier for families to plan and budget for their BC Parks visits. • User fees at BC Parks are generally lower than those of most private campsites in the province, and competitive with public sector campgrounds in other jurisdictions. • For example: Camping at Cultus Lake Provincial Park will cost families $35/night for a campsite with up to four adults,
whereas a nearby private operator charges $35-$45/night for a tenting site for two adults, with an additional $10 charge per adult. • A private operator on Shuswap Lake will charge $30 $60/night, and BC Parks charges $32/night for a campsite with up to four adults. • There are 1,029 provincial parks, recreation areas, conservancies, ecological reserves and protected areas in B.C., covering more than 14 million hectares or approximately 14.4% of the provincial land base. * One of the largest park systems in the world, British Columbia has the highest percentage of its land base dedicated to protected areas of all provincial Canadian jurisdictions. • B.C. provincial parks receive over 21 million visits each year. • In 2014, more than 133,000 reservations were made through Discover Camping, the province’s camping reservation system, - almost a 10% increase from 2013. • Discover Camping opens at 9 a.m. (PST) March 15, 2015. Prices reflected on the Discover Camping website will be updated prior to this date to incorporate the new fee structure.

Local NEWS Ferrie in Kazakhstan at U23 world championships Kimberley cross-country skier making great strides C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
As you read this, Kimberley’s Colin Ferrie is in Kazakhstan representing Canada at the Under 23 World Cross Country Ski Championships. This is a big deal for Ferrie, his first international competition, aside from a few in the States. He dropped by the Bulletin last Friday, the day before his 32 hour flight to Kazakhstan. Ferrie is excited at the upcoming competition, interested in seeing how he matches up against the best in the world — including a couple of Norwegian
skiers he says blew him away in Quebec a few years ago. He thinks he will be quite a bit more competitive now. Ferrie is still young for cross country skiing. The Under 23 championships are for the up and coming skiers, not the Olympic level. Cross country skiing is a sport where maturity matters. Rather than washed up at 23, a racer is just beginning. “In cross-country, the best skier right now is turning 31 this year,” Ferrie said. “It’s more of a late-maturing sport.” A future Olympics is definitely a dream, but Ferrie says that is a little far off right now. “Making the U23 World Championship team is a stepping stone to the Olympics,” he said. Ferrie has been on skis since he was very
young, his parents starting him on both cross-country and downhill skis. I asked him what made him stick to cross-country when many of his friends chose downhill. “I always had a drive to push myself hard,” he said. “Downhill just didn’t have the thrill of pushing myself to exhaustion. It didn’t have the same competitive feel to me.” Ferrie is devoting his life to cross country right now. In the summers, he works almost full time and gets in 25 to 30 hours of training a week, while living with Mom and Dad. In the winter, he skis with the Black Jack team in Rossland, though he wears Kimberley Nordic Club colours in races. Winter is full time racing and training as he follows

KIMBERLEY NEWS January 26, 1956 Help Not Hinder
It is unfortunate that what should have been a keen but friendly competition between three charming young ladies for honours as Kimberley’s first Snow Fiesta Queen should be allowed to denigrate into a hassle. And yet that seems to be the trend. As a responsible newspaper, The Kimberley News does not concern itself with rumours, however scurrilous, but with facts, and we are perhaps the last to know that stories are being spread to the effect that favouritism is being shown in the production of tickets for the three young candidates. Just whom we are supposed to be favouring we are not quite sure; the rumours like most such wholly untruthful inuendos, are not too specific. But this is the time to let it be known that those whose unwise and over enthusiastic zeal on behalf of this or that candidate has led them to circulate the charge that one candidate is getting tickets to sell ahead of the other two(or whatever it is supposed to be) are only rendering a grave disservice to the candidate they are supporting. We should have preferred to ignore these childish slanders. That we do not do so is because the taint that invariably follows when the rumour mill is busily grinding is almost sure to brush off on some of the candidates themselves. And that would be too bad. They are three lovely girls with a busy month ahead of them. We should all of us – rumour-mongers and all – be concerned with helping them wage a fair and friendly contest rather than hinder them with the inevitable hobble of contumacious tactics.
Call Tenders Soon For New School
John S. Noble again heads the Board of School Trustees of Kimberley School District, having been re-elected chairman at the regular
Monday, January 26, 2015
meeting. E.S. Whistlecroft heads the finance committee and other committee chairmen are: Health, J.H. Broadhurst; Personnel, R.W. Holditch; Transportation, V. McConnell and buildings, R.L. Matthews. Trustees are particularly busy at present on two major projects – the negotiation of a new teachers`salary contract and the preparation of budget estimates for 1956. It may be remembered that any approved increase in school operating costs over the 1955 estimates will be borne by the local taxpayer only to the extent of 25 per cent of such increase. This 25 per cent share would be increased by the amount of any increase in the yield of the basic education mill rate, which would happen if the total assessed values in the district were greater than in 1955. The basic mill rate for education purposes is 10 mills in a municipality and 7 mills in rural areas. The current building program has continued to show good progress. The two classroom addition to the Marysville Elementary School was completed by Fabro Building and Supply Co., Ltd., on schedule, during the Christmas vacation. C.J. Oliver Limited, general contractors for the addition to Blarchmont Elementary School hope to be able to turn over the new building to the Board during the Easter vacation. Four new classrooms, a multi-purpose room with small stage and other auxiliary rooms are being added to the old four classrooms at this location. Plans and specifications for the new senior high school have now been approved by the Department of Education. Architect William K. Noppe expects to have arrangements for calling for tenders on this building completed shortly. Present plans call for the occupation of this senior high school not later than September 1957.

Famous fan troupe to stop in Cranbrook on farewell tour For the bulle tin
If you are a Vancouver Canucks fan, you should know who the Green Men are. After all, they’ve been pretty visible at Canucks home games over the last few years, doing whatever it is they can to poke fun or distract opposing players when they’re banished to the sin bin. And by visible, I mean really, really visible, because who can miss two people dressed in a skin-tight, neon-green morphsuit? Whether doing reverse handstands on the penalty box glass or holding up a large size cutout of a naked Ryan Kesler or tossing waffles out of an Eggo box, the Green Men are always good for a laugh. If you’re not a Canucks fan, you’re probably asking why you should care about these two pranksters. Well, the Green Men—known individually as Sully and Force— are going to be in Cranbrook watch the Kootenay Ice take on the Kelowna Rockets on Saturday, Jan. 31, as part of a farewell tour they are undertaking with stops across the province.

B.C. world-class for minerals M
uch of the spectacular scenery that makes British Columbia a beautiful place to live and work can be attributed to its unique and dynamic geology. An important and significant benefit of this ever-evolving natural landscape is the wealth of mineral treasures that have formed as result of geological activity. And B.C.’s geographically favourable position next to the Pacific Ocean makes it a globally important trading province for the citizens of B.C. and the rest of Canada. From the rich zinc-leadsilver deposits of the southeast, such as the famously large, high grade and long-lasting Sullivan mine deposit near Kimberley, to the Golden Triangle in the northwest which hosts among the highest number of, and richest, copper-gold deposits on Earth, every region in B.C. is fortunate to have world-class mineral resources. But we must not take this fact for granted. The Golden Triangle, made famous by the Eskay Creek gold-silver deposit, is home to significant base and precious metal projects such as KSM, Brucejack, Schaft Creek and Galore Creek, among many more. The completion of the Northwest Transmission line (which will power the soon-toopen Red Chris copper-gold mine) has provided much needed infrastructure to this region, while mineral exploration and development is expected to continue to expand. And the potential of the Site C dam and hydroelectric project in the northeast to provide clean, low-cost power across the province will also act as a major catalyst to attract investment in mineral exploration and development for generations. The Kootenays have always been at-
tractive to prospectors and mineral developers. The Cranbrook area, as well as the Grand Forks, Rossland, Slocan, Silverton, New Denver, Kaslo, Revelstoke, Castlegar and Nelson-Ymir-Salmo areas, have a much deserved mineral exploration and development heritage. In recent years, in addition to the ongoing industrious activity of Teck’s zinc and lead smelter in Trail, the Kootenays have seen increased exploration activity with Santa Fe Metals’ Sully and Iron Range projects, Eagle Plains’ Findlay project and Discovery Ventures’ Willa project. These projects have benefited greatly from community support, Gavin local with Cranbrook’s East KooDirom tenay Chamber of Mines and Nelson’s Chamber of Mines of Eastern BC leading the way during the annual Minerals South conference. With such exceptional mineral wealth comes a plethora of expertise to support exploration and development. British Columbia has the largest concentration of exploration companies and geoscientists in the world. It is also home to global leaders in academic research. Along with being renowned as the assaying capital of the world, there are more than 2,000 exploration and development service and supply companies, including legal and accounting firms, that call this province home. This extensive business cluster means the industry is at the forward edge of exploration practices allowing for smarter, more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally conscientious projects. B.C. also has the infrastructure to support mineral exploration and development. B.C. citizens are served by a well-maintained water, rail and road net-
work connecting us east and west to the rest of Canada and north and south to the United States — the world’s largest economy. And the coastline is dotted with deepsea ports that are natural gateways to resource-hungry economies in Asian countries. That advanced exploration work is taking place at historically high levels in B.C. as our province continues to attract significant investment, especially in copper, zinc, gold and silver projects. In 2014 it is estimated that B.C. attracted nearly 21 per cent of exploration spending across Canada, which is up from 11 per cent during the 2008-09 recession. It is true the industry has been affected by the current cyclical downturn in global markets and metal prices. Companies have been scaling back their operations to adjust to the venture capital crisis and lower commodity prices. At the same time, many are preparing for future growth through strategic planning and investments. That being said, there are many experienced companies and excellent projects that continue to work and advance even in these tough times. They know better than anyone else that what goes down must eventually come up. So when the minerals cycle enters its inevitable upswing, B.C., including the Kootenay region, will be very well positioned, as it rightfully should be, at the top of the list of places to responsibly explore for the mineral riches the world needs. Gavin C. Dirom is President & CEO of the Association for Mineral Exploration BC (AME BC) hosts its Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015 conference in Vancouver from January 26 to 29, 2015.

Guest Column
Many milestones for IH in 2014 Erwin Malzer
It is with great enthusiasm that I step into my new role as Interior Health Board Chair. In the spirit of new beginnings, I want to provide some highlights from the past year and an update moving forward. Last year saw many milestones, not the least of which was within our cardiac surgery program. Although based in Kelowna, it serves the entire region, allowing people to receive surgery closer to home rather than travelling to the Lower Mainland. In November, the program marked completion of its 1,000th open heart surgery. More than 1,000 surgeries and the outcomes have been excellent. The team has really raised the bar and has already been receiving awards. Building on our successful surgical program, the new Interior Heart & Surgical Centre (IHSC) currently under construction in Kelowna will bene-
fit patients across Interior Health by providing the highest level of medical care ever seen in the Interior, through an integrated critical care facility supported by a full range of clinical supports. The IHSC opens to patients in September 2015. In Cranbrook, the $20 million redevelopment at East Kootenay Regional Hospital continues to move forward, including a new, expanded Intensive Care Unit and a significant electrical upgrade for the site. As in other places in the world, particularly rural areas, recruitment for physicians and expert staff remains a challenge. To further support our communities in ongoing recruitment efforts, Interior Health recently created the Guide to Successful Long-term Physician Recruitment and Retention. This guide is now available on the Better Here physician recruitment website
and is a great resource to support family physician and specialist recruitment. Looking forward, we can expect to see an even greater focus on health promotion, primary care, integrated community care and chronic disease management to further decrease demand on hospital and residential services. There has been great collaboration occurring between hospitals, family doctors in local Divisions of Family Practice, and community programs. We continue to promote improved public health as that keeps people home where they want to be and helps relieve pressure on hospitals. We are also embracing new approaches to care. For example, last year we launched a new surveillance nurse program, where nurses check in and monitor low risk clients via regular phone calls. Interior Health has and will continue to
be at the forefront of using technology to meet patient needs. The use of telehealth has grown to include more than 20 different medical fields, with nearly 55,000 patient uses per year throughout Interior Health. In closing I’d like to recognize the incredible people that make up Interior Health. We have 1,500 physicians, 19,500 staff and over 4,800 volunteers, each one dedicated to doing all they can to contribute to the provision of quality care. Health care is fascinating and complex. It touches each of us at one time or another, often while we are at our most vulnerable time. I am very proud to do my part in helping guide the organization as we meet new challenges and celebrate our successes. Erwin Malzer is Interior Health Board Chair

Mountain of milestones Memorable weekend for Ice with wins over Broncos & Cougars Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
A mountain of milestones began to rise Saturday night at Western Financial Place as the Kootenay Ice were set to host the Swift Current Broncos in the 1,200th regular-season game in franchise history. En route to a 5-2 victory over the Broncos, Kootenay Ice forwards Levi Cable, Jaedon Descheneau and Austin Vetterl all hit major career marks. Sunday night, in a 7-4 victory over the Prince George Cougars, rookies Keelan Williams and Austin Wellsby pounced on opportunities to claim WHL firsts. Saturday against the Broncos, Cable was the man to get the ball rolling. The 20-year-old native of Hudson Bay, Sask., is in the midst of a career season, having tallied 22 goals and 37 points, both career highs. Saturday night, he factored into the opening goal against the Broncos, earning the 100th point of his WHL career. “It’s something I was hoping for from the start
to do it.” Descheneau added another goal Sunday against the Prince George Cougars, bringing his career numbers to 101 goals and 248 points in 240 WHL games. Fresh off a trip to the BMO CHL Top Prospects Game, Broncos forward Jake DeBrusk -son of former NHLer Louie DeBrusk -chipped in a pair of goals for the Broncos, one in the first period and the other on the power play late in the second period. Vetterl, an overage forward, was the third and final Ice player to hit a major milestone Saturday night against the Broncos as he played in his 250th WHL game. The native of Surrey, B.C., marked the night with a pair of crucial goals. After both of DeBrusk’s tallies for the visitors, Vetterl was there to restore his team’s two-goal advantage, scoring in the second period and shorthanded early in the third period. Vetterl’s first of the night stood as the eventual game-win-
of the season,” Cable said Saturday night. “It’s nice to get it out of the way. Now I can just focus on getting to playoffs.” Cable worked the puck back to the point, finding Tanner Lishchynsky, who sent a shot towards Broncos goaltender Landon Bow. Luke Philp managed to redirect the point shot to give the Ice a 1-0 advantage. Next on the list of milestone men was Descheneau. The 19-year-old Edmonton native took a bouncing puck and redirected it with his skate past Bow to double the hosts lead, collecting his 100th WHL goal in the process. After being called a good goal on the ice, the play was briefly reviewed before it was confirmed. “It’s a good thing to get in this league,” said the St. Louis Blues prospect Saturday night. “It’s an honour. It’s a hard league to score goals in. I’ve always taken pride in my scoring ability, but obviously I couldn’t have done it without my teammates. They get me the puck. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be able

backup goaltender Keelan Williams Sunday night against the Prince George Cougars. With his mother in the crowd, the rookie puck-stopper from Calgary turned in a 26-save performance, leading his team to a 7-4 victory over the Cougars. The win was the first of Williams’ WHL career. “It’s a huge weight off of my shoulders,” said the 6-foot-2 goaltender Sunday evening. “I think I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself over the last little bit just to try and get that first win. It’s really exciting. I’m really happy and I’m really
thankful for the way my teammates played in front of me tonight. It’s a great feeling. “It was really special to have my mom out and get her to see that. I actually didn’t even know I was starting [against Prince George]…I walked into the arena [Sunday afternoon] and I saw my name on the board. I just thought, ‘Okay, I’ve got to go get this win while she’s out here so she can see it.’” The opportunities for that first career win have been few and far between for Williams, as Wyatt Hoflin has handled the lion’s share of

I thought I didn’t score. Then it trickled in behind the goalie. Nice to get a little luck on my side finally.” Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 22 stops for his 25th victory of the season.

the work this season. Williams’ last start came Jan. 10, a 6-3 loss to the Saskatoon Blades. Prior to that, he hadn’t started a game since a 5-2 loss in Saskatoon Oct. 22. Even having only appeared in nine games, the 19-year-old Williams is savouring the chance to learn behind a veteran keeper like Hoflin. “He’s a great goaltender and one thing that he’s really good at is being calm and playing in his technical game,” Williams said of Hoflin. “He’s a really calm goaltender and he’s done really well. He practices hard and he’s really good at preparing for games. That’s one thing I can really learn from him and take into my own game. I’m really lucky to have him as a goaltending partner.” Williams wasn’t the only member of the Ice to record a career first Sunday evening. With a 4-2 lead midway though the second period, Tyler King unloaded a cannon of a slapshot, snapping his stick in half. As the shot made its way towards Cougars goaltender Tavin Grant, rookie Austin Wellsby got a piece of the puck, redirecting it past the Cougars goaltender for a 5-2 Ice lead. The goal was the first of Wellsby’s career and went on to stand as the game-winning tally Sunday night.

Parkland Middle School Grade 9 girls basketball team hoopin’ it up For The Townsman
The Parkland Middle School Grade 9 girls basketball team placed third in tournament action this past weekend in Sparwood. The Raiders dropped a narrow defeat against Fernie, falling 31-28 in the tournament semifinal
before topping Invermere 36-27 to claim third place. Last week, the Raiders traveled to Creston for tournament play, finishing second. Next up, the girls host their own home tournament at Parkland Middle School in Cranbrook. The Raiders are coached by Candice Conroy and Steve Newhouse.
Milestone weekend Continued from page 8 “It’s nice to get the first one out of the way,” Wellsby said Sunday, with a face full of shaving cream courtesy of Descheneau. The 6-foot-3 native of Chilliwack, B.C., was active on the scoresheet and the fight card Sunday, dropping the mitts with Cougars forward Kody McDonald later in the game. “It’s my job, right now, to play physical and get momentum
going for the guys,” Wellsby said. “If I’m not going to be playing a whole lot I’ve got to at least do my part.” Wellsby’s first-career WHL goal comes in his 36th career WHL game. The rookie forward skated in five games with the Ice last season and has dressed in 31 games so far this season. Apart from Wellsby’s defining moment, three Ice forwards registered three-point nights
against the Cougars. Philp (3A), Descheneau (1G, 2A) and Tim Bozon (2G, 1A) helped fuel the offense, while Reinhart (2A) and Cable (2G) chipped in as well. “It was awesome,” Bozon said. “[Wellsby] hasn’t played in a while and he jumps back in the lineup, uses his body, plays physical and he gets rewarded. “That’s going to help him a lot. A lot of confidence for the kid. I know
he’s working hard in practice even though he’s not playing [a lot]. It’s nice to see a guy like that scoring. Everybody is happy for him.” The pair of wins pushes the Ice (26-22-01, 53 points) up the WHL’s Central Division standings into fourth place, ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings (2221-4-2, 50). Next up, the Ice visit the Lethbridge Hurricanes Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
Team Toews beats Team Foligno at NHL all-star game Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio The cannon at Nationwide Arena got a workout as the 2015 NHL allstar game broke the record for goals in the event with 29. Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 in the mid-season exhibition featuring many of hockey’s top stars playing shinny with no hitting, no defence and no mercy for goaltenders.
John Tavares of the New York Islanders became the sixth player in all-star game history with four goals, joining the elite company of Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Gartner and Dany Heatley. Former Columbus Blue Jackets winger Jakub Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers tied Mario Lemieux’s 1988 record with six points on three goals and three as-
sists. Ryan Johansen of the host Blue Jackets was named MVP. The previous total-goals record was set in 2001 when North America beat the World 14-12. Under this format of captains Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks and Nick Foligno picking their teams in an all-star draft, many records fell: the fastest two, three and four goals in
the game’s history and most goals in a period. Toews and fellow Canadian Olympian Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins each had five points. Notes - Tyler Johnson of the Tampa Bay Lightning missed the game because of a lower-body injury. ... Fall Out Boy played during the first intermission and O.A.R. in the second. ... Next year’s all-star weekend is in Nashville.

Legendary Canadian figure skater Toller Cranstron dead at 65 Canadian Press
SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Mexico - Legendary figure skater Toller Cranston, a six-time national champion whose unique artistic vision forever changed the sport, has died. He was 65. Cranston, who won bronze medals at the 1974 world championships in Munich and the 1976 Innsbruck Olympics, died at his home in Mexico from an apparent heart attack, a Skate Canada spokesperson said Saturday. “It’s sad to hear that,” former Canadian champ Mike Slipchuk said from this year’s national championships in Kingston, Ont. “Toller was the face of skating, what he did for skating in Canada and skating in the world is where we are now - really forcing the creative side of the sport.
“He was the one who really pushed those limits forward.” Cranston, who was born in Hamilton and grew up in Kirkland Lake, Ont., and Montreal, never won an Olympic or world title but his dramatic showmanship had a profound impact on figure skating. He later settled in Mexico and focused on his art, with his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. Cranston was known for his biting sense of humour. He once laughingly commented to The Canadian Press about world champion Patrick Chan: “I don’t think I could watch him skate live, I’d commit suicide out of depression at how good he is.” Slipchuk, who serves as Skate Canada’s
high-performance director, said he’ll cherish his memories of Cranston. “He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met,” he said. “He had a great sense of humour, it was always an entertaining day to see what story we were going to hear that day.” Cranston won national titles from 1971 to ‘76 and placed second at the 1971 North American championships in Peterborough, Ont. He won Skate Canada International events in 1973 and ‘75. He finished fourth at the 1975 world championships in Colorado Springs, and was fourth again a year later in Gothenburg, Sweden. Cranston was 26 when he reached the Olympic podium at the 1976 Winter Games. He was later inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame,
Toller Cranston was bronze medallist at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1977.
In 1995, he received a Special Olympic Order from the Canadian Olympic Committee. Cranston
was also an illustrator, author, designer, choreographer and sports commentator.
Autopsy results were pending. There was no immediate word on funeral plans.

led eight of her MLAs across the floor to join Premier Jim Prentice’s government, leaving just five Wildrose members to be the official Opposition. Smith says in the Facebook post that she has no regrets about quitting as Opposition leader. She says it became clear to her at the Wildrose annual general meeting last fall that the membership was more interested in being a protest party than becoming government. She confirms in the post that she will seek the PC nomination for Highwood in southern Alberta, the seat she currently holds. “It has been just over a month since I and a majority of my Wildrose colleagues made the decision to start a process to unify conservatives under the leadership of Premier Jim Prentice. It has not gone as expected. It has not been an easy path. It has angered a lot of people,” Smith stated in the post. “For that I am truly sorry.” Smith said in the post that she had hoped that the Wildrose executive committee would put a motion for unification with the Tories to a vote of the entire mem-
bership, but she said they chose not to. She said that after nearly six years of attempting to create a fiscally conservative and socially mainstream party, Wildrose members rejected that path. She wrote that merging with the conservatives under Prentice was already underway following four provincial byelections in October which the PC party swept, the Wildrose AGM and the loss of two MLAs to the governing party. “Being an ‘NDP of the right’ was never the type of movement I wanted to lead,” Smith stated. Reaction to the post ranged from supportive to angry. “This isn’t an apology. You are blaming WRP membership. Because of you we are going to have higher income taxes or a PST,” Craig Smith commented below the post, making reference to Prentice’s suggestion earlier this month that Alberta should discuss the introduction of a sales tax. “If we get a PST they should call it the DST (Danielle Smith Tax),” he added. David Evans, however, was sympathetic on Smith’s views about where Wildrose was
headed. “I believe the WRP, whom I supported, went way off side at the AGM, failed to be seen as anything other than a redneck right wing gong show, and as such I understand the defection to the Conservative party,” Evans posted. The nine defectors have been criticized for abandoning their duty for personal gain, and one of them, Rob Anderson, said he won’t run in the next election. Smith said in the post that she was disappointed to hear that Anderson decided to leave politics, but she said he can leave public service “knowing that he had a tremendous influence on restoring this province back to a solid foundation of principles and policy in government.” “I truly believe that Albertans will see - as I do - that Premier Prentice is the right choice to lead Alberta, especially through the coming years of tough economic times,” Smith wrote. Earlier this month Suzanne Oel, president of the Progressive Conservative association in Highwood, said a number of people have expressed interest in running for the party, but she wouldn’t say how many.

Pope’s plan for Christian unity: avoid competing for souls; make the most of differences A s s oc iate d Press
ROME - Pope Francis has laid out his formula for fostering Christian unity: resist competing for souls and make concrete gestures of acceptance and dialogue. Francis celebrated vespers Sunday evening in a Rome basilica along with Anglican, Orthodox and other church leaders to cap an annual week of prayer for unity of Christians. He told the church leaders that “our shared commitment to proclaiming the Gospel en-
ables us to overcome proselytism and competition in all their forms.” Francis said getting to know “those who are different from ourselves can make us grow.” He also cautioned about “subtle theoretical discussions in which each side tries to convince the other.” Referring to Christians being persecuted in the Middle East and elsewhere, Francis described their suffering as a kind of “ecumenism of blood.”
Drunken driver hits suburban Dallas squad car during arrest of another drunken driver Associated Press
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Police in a Dallas suburb say a drunken driver crashed into an empty squad car while officers were busy dealing with another drunken driver they had pulled over. Grand Prairie police say a third driver then crashed into another empty squad car, but this driver wasn’t drunk or high. The Dallas Morning News reports that offi-
cers pulled over the first driver at around 3 a.m. Sunday and ended up arresting that person for driving while intoxicated. Department spokesman Lyle Gensler says the driver of the first vehicle to hit a squad car was also arrested on a DWI charge, but the third driver was only ticketed. The only person hurt was the second driver, who suffered minor injuries.
Naked violinist files $1.1 million lawsuit over arrest outside Portland courthouse last year A s s oc iate d Press
PORTLAND, Ore. - A Hillsboro, Oregon, man arrested after playing a violin while naked outside the federal courthouse in Portland last year is suing police. The Oregonian reports that 25-year-old Matthew T. Mglej claims authorities used excessive force and violated his First Amendment rights. He named the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and Portland Police Bureau as defendants in a lawsuit filed last week, and he’s seeking $1.1 million in damages. Police showed up
after receiving complaints about the demonstration, during which the man played violin, meditated and quoted former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They said they arrested him for indecent exposure and carried him to a patrol car when he refused to walk. Mglej claims jail deputies cut his wrists by jerking on his handcuffs and called him names when he cried from the pain and for his service dog. He has a hearing on the indecent exposure charge next month.

NEWS Balloon crew launches from Japan in bid to reach North America Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - An international team has launched its helium-filled balloon from Japan in a bid to reach North America and break two major records en route. Pilots Troy Bradley of New Mexico and Leonid Tiukhtyaev of Russia set off from Saga, Japan, shortly before 6:30 a.m. Sunday Japan time. “Everything went just like a textbook,” said Letitia Hill, social media director for the team’s mission control in Albuquerque. Unfavourable weather changes scuttled two previous launch attempts more than a week ago. The pilots are looking to reach North America, an attempt that will put them on course to break a distance record of 5,208 miles (8,381 kilometres). They also want to break the flight-duration record set in 1978 when Ben Abruzzo,
Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman made the first trans-Atlantic balloon flight. That record of 137 hours in the air in a traditional gas balloon is considered the holy grail of ballooning achievements. The team is expected to land in the next 5 1/2 days, Hill said. But where they will land is anyone’s guess. “That’s going to keep us on the edge of our seats for this mission,” Hill said after watching the launch at the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum. Bradley and Tiukhtyaev’s balloon - dubbed Two Eagles - is outfitted with a high-tech navigation system, basic necessities such as a first-aid kit, and equipment to communicate with the command centre. It will fly at an altitude of at least 15,000 feet (4,500 metres). The pilots will have oxygen masks and will be bun-
Dog gets new lease on life at animal sanctuary after escaping euthanasia Associated Press
KANAB, Utah - A dog is getting a new lease on life at a Utah animal sanctuary a month after escaping a worse fate in Indiana: being euthanized and having its cremated ashes mixed with those of its late owner. Staff members at the Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab say the male German shepherd named Bela still has behavioural issues but is doing very well. “It’s something we do every day: We handle special needs,” Christine Vergallito of Best Friends told KSL . “We handle behavioural issues, and we give them an enriched life here.” Connie Ley of Aurora, Indiana, who died in November, stipulated in her will that Bela either go to the Utah sanctuary or be euthanized, cremated and mixed with her ashes. That’s because Ley felt the 105pound dog was aggres-
sive and not safe around strangers, particularly children. Sanctuary workers say although they notice Bela wagging his tail more, they’re working to socialize him with people and other dogs. “It’s just a matter of time before, one way or the other, he’s happy and he lives a full, rich life,” said John Garcia of Best Friends. Garcia grew close to Bela over the last month. He drove 1,800 miles to Indiana and back to get the dog to Utah. “Bela handled it like a champ,” Garcia told KSL. “Every single day, he learned more, he had a lot of fun and, all in all, he’s such a good dog ... He’s very loyal. He gets attached very quickly.” He and others are hoping Bela, who’s believed to be 8 or 9 years old, can be adopted someday. If not, they’ll be happy to have him live out his life at the sanctuary, they said.
dled up. The temperature inside their capsule will be about 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). The pilots have to be physically fit to endure several days inside the capsule, with little sleep and limited oxygen. In addition to the record
attempts, the flight is being monitored by researchers at Arizona State University who are studying the effects of fatigue on cognitive ability. It’s possible the pilots could be aloft for 10 days, which is the outer limit of the balloon’s ca-
pabilities, the team said. Once the hatch is closed and the pilots are inside, it’s much like a video game, monitoring the GPS and other systems for updates on weather conditions, speed and altitude, Bradley told The Associated Press in October.
Man trying to break into Texas store falls through ceiling, lands in front of officer Associated Press
HOUSTON - Authorities say a man’s plans to break into a Houston store fell through, after he crashed through the ceiling and landed in front of police. Houston police say the man climbed a tree and onto the roof of a Family Dollar store early Sunday morning, then managed to break a hole in the roof and enter the building.
But after making his way into the store, the man fell through the ceiling just as a police officer arrived in response to a call about a potential burglary. The officer ordered the unidentified man to stay on the floor. The man was later arrested. Authorities believe the man was trying to steal cigarettes.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are likely to indulge a loved one. At the same time, you might want to share a master plan that you would like to try out. Take into consideration the temperament of the person you choose to share with. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll emerge from the weekend willing to greet whatever heads your way. Someone could drop by or email you with an idea that will be nothing less than inspirational. You might want to say less and listen to others’ first impressions. Tonight: Wish upon a star. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not feel like your usual sociable self. Make that OK. Pull back and try to find the right solution to a problematic situation. You could be unsure about what to think as you hear others’ different ideas. Try to be less spontaneous right now. Tonight: Vanish.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be thinking about how you might want to present a new idea. The words one chooses often tend to be more important than the idea itself. Some people can’t seem to get past the words. Be smart. Present a winning idea like it’s already won. Tonight: Hang with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are in the limelight, and you’ll sparkle accordingly. You might not be aware of how much someone else listens to you and is able to respond with equally exciting statements. This person has an extraordinary imagination. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for more information, especially if you feel as if someone’s statement is incomplete. Try to look at the matter from a detached perspective. Someone who cares a lot about you will come through at the last minute. Tonight: Don’t trigger a reaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Deal with a loved one directly. This person will appreciate the attention and the way you interact with him or her. An associate in your daily life might irritate you with an obscure thought. Be polite and listen anyway. Tonight: Chat over dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others come forward, as they have a lot to share. You could be questioning the pros and cons of going along with someone else’s idea. Sometimes you need to have this person take the lead; otherwise, he or she might not feel good about relating to you. Tonight: Say “yes.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to trudge into the day with the mentality of “same old, same old.” Of all the signs, you have the best ability to spice up life, so why aren’t you doing so? Make a point of not holding back. Tonight: Just be yourself! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone might want to share more news, but you’ll need to be up for it. This person could
be a child or new friend. You will need to state your limits or time constraints before you give in to his or her whimsical needs. Tonight: Let the party go on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel worn out by what is happening around you. It wouldn’t be inappropriate to consider taking the day off. Stay focused, and understand your limits and needs. You will be more resilient and responsive if you take a break. Tonight: Don’t stray too far from home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on one thing at a time. You could be unusually tired and/or withdrawn. Know that you don’t need to share everything that is on your mind. Listen to what others are saying. The conversation could trigger a wild idea. Tonight: Chat with a pal. BORN TODAY Military chief Douglas MacArthur (1880), actor Paul Newman (1925), comedian Ellen DeGeneres (1958) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have three siblings. The youngest sister, “Jess,” has always had problems. At 13, she started taking drugs and running away from home. She spent five years in prison, and when she got out, my older sister offered to let Jess live with her so she could get a job and go to school. Jess was OK for about 18 months. Then she developed back problems and was unable to work. After several disagreements with my sister, she moved out to live with her boyfriend, whom she later married. It’s been downhill from there. A few nights before Thanksgiving, Jess knocked on my door with her husband and their dog. Apparently, they are homeless. Neither of them can stick to a job on a regular basis. I’m sure Jess suffers from some type of mental illness, and now I think her husband does, too. I told Jess she could stay for three months and then would have to leave. I hope she can get some assistance to help her get back on her feet. Do you have any guidance for me? -- Lost and Confused Dear Lost: It is compassionate of you to take in your sister and her family, but she needs more help than you can give her. The best thing you can do for Jess is to look into local social services that will help her and her husband with mental health counseling, job training and housing. Please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami. org), the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development homeless assistance (hud. gov/homeless) and the National Coalition for the Homeless (nationalhomeless. org). Dear Annie: My 29-year-old stepson refuses to give gifts to family members at Christmas. A few years ago, I asked him why, and he said he doesn’t believe in the crass commercialism at Christmas. Yet he and his wife accept gifts from all of us on the holiday. He also doesn’t send a card or phone on his Dad’s birthday or mine. What do we do? Do we respect his views on commercialism and not give him gifts? Do we ignore it and hope he comes around? He and his wife earn plenty of money and can afford it. But that’s beside the point. It is the effort and caring that is lacking. -- Wondering Dear Wondering: It is perfectly logical to stop buying presents for him, saying, “We know you don’t support the crass commercialism of the holiday, so we are respecting your beliefs and not purchasing any gifts for you.” Of course, that won’t help the relationship, which seems a little strained. This is your stepson, so Dad should handle it. Has Dad told him how much it would mean to get a call or card on his birthday? Some kids simply don’t connect the dots or realize the importance of remembering a loved one’s special day. It helps to remind them. Gently. Dear Annie: This is in response to “PO’d in New York,” who said you two “need a lobotomy” for telling readers that doggie paw prints don’t belong on a sympathy card. Annie, I have had pets, mostly cats, since I was 6 years old. I have a pet cemetery in my backyard where five of my beloved cats are buried. I have two pet rescue cats whom I love with all my heart. They are a part of my family. But I would never, ever sign their names or put their paw prints on a sympathy card. In fact, I would be terribly upset if someone sent me a sympathy card with their animal’s names and paw prints on it. I just had to let you know that not every animal lover agrees with “PO’d.” -- A Cat Lover in Connecticut Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Erik is survived by the love of his life; Jaclyn and his daughter Liberty (6) and son Liam (2). Mother Renate Sorensen (WycliffeKimberley); Grandma, Lydia Moehling (Marysville); Sister, Maibrit Sorensen and Brother-in-Law Cody Stewart (Nelson). Erik was predeceased by his father; Kjell Sorensen in September 2014 and Grandfather Wilhelm Moehling December 2010. Extended family include The LaRiviereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Quesnel; Aunt Angela, Uncle Chuck and Cousins Laurel and Rachelle. Aunt Randi in Gran Canary Island; and family in Germany and Norway. Erik was born February 24th 1980 in Cranbrook BC and grew up in Wycliffe in the house his mother still resides in, spending the summers on the trampoline, swimming in the pool; building forts and riding bikes. In the winter Erik and Maibrit were at the Kimberley ski hill every day they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in school â&#x20AC;&#x201C;guaranteed the first on the ski hill in the morning and last to leave. Both conquered the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Easterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run before they were 10 years old. Erik attended Marysville Elementary and McKim Middle School before transferring to Cranbrook for high school. Erik followed in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps and joined Union 115 in 2005. With the same name as his father; many co-workers had worked with his Father and lots of stories ensued; with many co-worker friends coming to visit his Father to catch up on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He moved around BC working and gaining the experience necessary to become the Plant Manager of SPL in Castlegar for the last 3 years. Erik worked hard like his father and made many dear friends at SPL. Erik met Jaclyn while in high school in Cranbrook; and low and behold Jaclynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents moved beside Renate and Kjell 10 years ago. It is at this time that the high school sweethearts rekindled their relationship. In 2008 Jaclyn and Erik welcomed his princess; Liberty Rayne Maibrit Sorensen to the family; and proceeded to move to Nelson . In 2010 Erik, Jaclyn and Liberty moved to Castlegar and on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 2012 welcomed his prince; Kjell Liam Arik Sorensen. August 30th 2014 Erik and Jaclyn were married at the family home in Wycliffe; and officially expanded the family to include Mother -in-Law Trish Birks-Burch and Father-in-Law Brian Burch. Sister-in-laws Monica, Lindsay, and Brother-in-law Everett. Along with the new extended family includes 2 nephews and 4 nieces. All who remember Erik will recall his love of music and his passion to travel to take in all of his favorites. When Erik was only 14 his sister and brother-in-law took Erik to Seattle to see DOA, Sublime and The Ramones. Erik was such a concert fan he purchased tickets for his mom so she could take him to see White Zombie in Spokane (mom went and was terrified). One of his prized possessions is a picture of Joey Keithley with Liberty; and favorite recent shows is the Dropkick Murphy road trip and The Smalls. At every show small or large he would be front and center in any mosh pit. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday January 31st at the Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall in Cranbrook at 1:30pm.
