Tailings ponds inspections find no safety concerns Teck completes review of Sullivan Mine tailings ponds ordered by Mining Inspector C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
COURTESY KAR
It was absolutely beautiful skiing weather in Kimberley this past weekend, as these members of the Kimberley Dynamiters tearing down the Main can attest. Saturday was Ski with the Dynamiters Day at KAR.
Seniors facilities closed to public during RI outbreak C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
There are currently 15 seniors facilities in the Interior Health region listed on the Active Outbreak list during this flu season. All 15 are closed to the public due to respiratory infection. They include the Kimberley Special Care Home (the Pines) which was listed on January 21 and the Joseph Creek Seniors Village in Cranbrook, which was listed on January 23. “It is standard practice around infection control,” said Karl Hardt, communications officer for Interior Health. “We ask people to stay away.” The Bulletin received an email stating that health care workers at the Pines who have not been immunized with flu vaccine have been suspended without pay. They number about 12 individuals. Staff shortages have now reached
critical levels, the email said. “The Influenza Control Program gives staff the choice to get the flu shot or wear a mask during flu season,” said Jeff Betker, residential services administrator. “This policy has now been in place three years. “When a Medical Health Officer declares an outbreak, as is currently the case at Kimberley Special Care Home (Pines), the Staff Influenza Immunization And Exclusion Policy comes into effect. During an outbreak, staff who have not had a flu shot can elect to take anviral medication (Tamiflu) and return to work or they wait until the outbreak is officially over before returning. Staff are not suspended, but are excluded from working at an outbreak site. This policy has been in place since
2003, and recognizes the risks to residents/ patients are much higher during an outbreak situation. “Other measures that we take during an outbreak include supporting residents who have symptoms with care in their rooms to avoid contact with other residents, increased housekeeping, and a request that family/ friends who have not had their flu shot limit visits until the outbreak is over. “To date, about a dozen Kimberley Special Care Home residents and five staff have had flu symptoms. Last new case was on Jan. 24. “I can assure people that residents at Kimberley Special Care Home are still receiving good care during this current outbreak. We have not had any critical staffing challenges.”
There are no immediate safety or stability concerns for any of the Sullivan Mine tailings storage facilities and accompanying dam structures in Kimberley, Teck has assured Mayor and Council in a recent letter. After the breach of the tailings dam at Mt. Polley Mine last August, B.C.’s Chief Inspector of Mines ordered all tailings facilities in the province to be inspected by December 1, 2014. Teck already conducts daily inspections of Kimberley’s tailings ponds, says Teck’s Bruce Donald, Manager Legacy Properties, in the letter, as well as formal monthly inspections. Dam safety inspections are performed yearly and Dam Safety Reviews are performed by third party engineers every five years. With the order from the Inspector of Mines, Teck accelerated their review schedule. The company has submitted a DSI which covers the 14 earthen dams and six tailings impoundments at the former Sullivan Mine site. Kimberley’s area of tailings impoundment is approximately 583 hectares, which includes both remediated land and tailings ponds, containing material left over from the mining and processing of ore. The impoundments include the:

Iron Pond, including iron dyke (active) ARD storage pond, including north and south dams (active) Sludge Pond, including north and south dykes (active) Gypsum Ponds, including East, West and Northeast Gypsum dykes and Recycle Pond (reclaimed, no longer water retaining) Old Iron Pond, including Southwest and Southeast Limbs (reclaimed, no longer water retaining) Siliceous Ponds, including the number 1, 2 and 3 Siliceous dykes (re-
claimed, no longer water retaining) Calcine Pond, including Calcine dyke (reclaimed, no longer water retaining) In addition to confirming no safety or stability concerns, the reports confirm that Teck is following industry practices for monitoring and surveillance practices. There were some recommendations, Donald wrote, but they were non-urgent, pertaining to routine maintenance, repair and monitoring. An independent study using “worst case scenario” dam failures

for the Gypsum ponds, Iron Dyke and ARD ponds was conducted to ensure emergency response plans are comprehensive and thorough. All these reports have been submitted to government and should be publicly available in early February. In the meantime, Donald has offered Mayor and Council a briefing should they have any questions about the operations, maintenance and monitoring of Kimberley’s tailings facilities.

What’s in the news at McKim School? McKim Memories Greetings from McKim. Two weeks ago, McKim started an amazing soup program to compliment kids’ lunches, where students can have free soup if they bring their own bowl and spoon. The line up has been awesome and many students have taken advantage because this soup is scrumptious. From thai Asian chicken to cheese broccoli to Italian bean soup, there is something for everybody. Thanks to Mrs. Grainger and all of our student volunteers. Mmmmmmmm! In Ping Pong this week, Brayden Hoy was the star of the week. He won the week with ten points and also the month. He also took over first place with his victory. Great job, Brayden! On Friday Miss Sue returned to McKim for another great session of zumba. Students danced away their troubles, kept fit and had a great time as well. We are really looking forward to future sessions. Friday was also retro-day. Students dressed in 80s garb. There were a lot of scary looking outfits…and that was just the teachers. Great fun!

Columbia Basin communities reducing water consumption
Basin water conservation action and collaboration lauded as model for success
(Columbia Basin) – Since 2010, Water Smart communities in the Columbia Basin have steadily reduced local water consumption—and academics, experts and utility professionals from across Canada are taking note. Water Smart is a Columbia Basin Trust water conservation program that helps regional districts and municipalities in the Basin address their local water conservation needs. Its aim is to achieve a 20 per cent Basin-wide reduction in community water consumption by 2015. While the Basin faces the same challenges as other regions—including reducing water loss from leaking pipes and educating the public about
conserving water— Water Smart’s data-based and problem-solving model has supported measurable demand reduction in the 26 participating communities, and the model is transferrable to other regions and utilities. “Basin communities are becoming leaders in this area and it’s really rewarding for these communities to share their innovative work—and to have others learn from their water conservation successes,” said Meredith Hamstead, Water Smart Coordinator. In 2014, the Water Smart team showcased Basin efforts at three conferences. The first was the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments conference in Creston in April. Here, the Water Smart team gave an update and was pleased to find that elected officials are very aware of and supportive of the program. Elected official support for water conservation is an es-

sential element of success in the long term. In May the team attended the BC Water and Waste Association conference in Whistler. Here they presented to delegates from around the province, few of which were aware of Water Smart. The focus was on “water loss management,” an essential but often overlooked water utility best practice that reduces the amount of water lost through leaks in municipal pipes. By addressing this type of loss, Basin communities have achieved water savings ranging from 5 to 40 per cent of total annual supply, and have reduced infrastructure wear and tear and operating costs—which together support infrastructure resilience and sustainability. Finally, Water Smart presented at the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation conference in Prince George in September. “Part of the participating communities’ success has to do with Water Smart’s model of regional collaboration supporting local action. While our presentation highlighted case studies of success in Basin communities, two other presenters highlighted Water Smart itself as a successful case study for effective collaboration supporting water utility sustainability,” said Hamstead. “The work being done in the Basin has gained attention, not only for the amazing local water conservation outcomes, but as an example for how communities in a very large region can collaborate effectively.”

With Allies Like These...
T
urkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in London last week, telling the Western media how helpful Ankara was being in the struggle against the terrorist “Islamic State” that has emerged in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey is doing everything it can, he said — although, of course, “We cannot put troops everywhere on the border.” Turkey’s open border has become a sore point with its Western allies, who suspect that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deliberately allowing a steady flow of recruits and supplies to “Islamic State” because he still wants the Sunni rebels, most of whom are jihadi extremists, to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s Shia ruler. (Erdogan is no jihadi, but he is a devout and militant Sunni Islamist.) But Erdogan’s motives are irrelevant, because Turkey simply cannot put troops everywhere on its 820-km. border with Syria. Or so says Ahmet Davutoglu, and only an enemy of Turkey (or somebody with a grasp of basic mathematics) would say otherwise. I am no enemy of Turkey, but I can do basic arithmetic. If you stationed Turkish troops along the entire length of the Syrian border at ten-metre intervals — that’s enough for a machine-gun nest every fifty metres — it would take about 82,000 soldiers to cover the entire 820 km. The strength of the Turkish army (never mind the navy and air force) is 315,000 soldiers. Maybe Turkey doesn’t have that many machine-guns, but it’s not a poor country, and machine-guns are quite cheap on the international market. Or maybe it would prefer to use some other equipment instead: a good fence and some motion-de-
tectors would help. But the main requirement is manpower, and not very highly skilled manpower at that. The Turkish army has a few other jobs, but not any high-priority ones. Even if you allow for frequent rotation of the soldiers manning the border, it would take much less than half the strength of the Turkish army to shut the border to foreign fighters. Maybe a few jihadis would still get through, but the vast majority wouldn’t. The only reason Ankara doesn’t shut Gwynne the border is that it doesn’t really want to. Dyer Cutting off the flow of jihadi volunteers to Syria would not greatly change the local military balance: IS uses them mostly as mere cannon-fodder. The point is that Turkey is not fully committed to the destruction of Islamic State, and indeed will give IS deniable help in order to further the goal of a Sunni victory in Syria, despite being part a “coalition of the willing” that is nominally dedicated to destroying IS. The same goes for Saudi Arabia, although it has sent some token aircraft to bomb IS. Riyadh tries to prevent any Saudi citizens from going to fight for IS, and it certainly does not want the IS brand of radicalism to come to the kingdom. Indeed, Saudi Arabia has already started building a 900-km. high-tech wall along its border with Iraq to stop IS activists from entering the country. But it is not a long way from the Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam that is promoted by Saudi Arabia to the “takfiri-salafist” doctrines espoused by the IS militants. Saudi private individuals have been a major source of financing for IS, and until recently Riyadh just turned a blind eye to it. Even now Saudi Arabia doesn’t want
Islamic State destroyed if that means Assad gets to stay in power in Syria. Then there’s Iran. In Iraq, where Islamic State controls half the country’s territory and threatens a Shia-dominated regime, Iran and the United States are fighting almost side-by-side to defend Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s government. (They don’t actually talk to each other, but they each tell the Iraqis where they are planning to bomb so there are no collisions over the target areas.) But next-door, in Syria, it’s different. Iran has sent troops, weapons and money to defend Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while the United States is still pledged to overthrow it. They both see Islamic State (which controls about a third of Syria’s territory) as an enemy, but Washington still believes that it can create some other, more “moderate” army of Sunni rebels that will eventually take Assad down. And Russia, of course, still supplies Assad with weapons, money and diplomatic support — but despite its own difficulties with jihadi rebels back home in the North Caucasus, Moscow is not participating in the military campaign against Islamic State. Its quarrel with the United States over Ukraine is too fierce to permit that degree of cooperation elsewhere. And so on, and so forth. Not one of the major outside powers that is opposed to Islamic State in principle has a clear strategy for fighting it, nor are they willing to cooperate with one another. So IS will survive, at least for some years to come, despite the horrors it inflicts on the innocent people under its control. It may even expand a bit more, though the end of the siege of Kobane shows that it is far from unstoppable. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Dining as a guest of the CBT
T
Dan Hicks
he Columbia Basin Trust served delicious dinners to appreciative participants at the Kimberley and Cranbrook public input sessions on Jan. 14 and 20 respectively. Both sessions were well-attended with near equal numbers, but, on a per capita basis, Kimberley excelled. The Kimberley session was held at the Kimberley Centennial Hall where the CBT provided wrapped sandwiches and soup, coffee and juice. The Cranbrook session was held at a more refined venue — the Cranbrook Railway Museum dining room; a proper fried potatoes and chicken smorgasbord was offered, with coffee included. Assembled around their respective dining tables, the participants wrote down and discussed what they appreciated about their communities and what could
be done with CBT funding to improve them, and then selected a spokesperson who synthesized and articulated the table’s suggestions. Though divergent feelgood fancies were voiced at both Kimberley and Cranbrook, “support for the arts” emerged as a common theme. An enhanced internet, a multi-faceted community hall, and agrarian self-sufficiency were included in Kimberley’s wish list of suggestions. In Cranbrook, funding for more search and rescue equipment was perhaps the most concise & clearly defined suggestion; and one likely to be approved. CBT officials declared that they could not fund standard municipal infrastructure (e.g. street repairs), thereby nullifying otherwise credible suggestions. From one of the tables, someone articulated the downside of onetime grants: they
were not conducive to sustaining ongoing programs. Invermere and Fernie were scheduled as the other East Kootenay CBT public input locales. The trust has $20 million to distribute in British Columbia’s Columbia River watershed this year, and reports to the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines. Though its dinner table engagement model for the solicitation of public opinions elicited more scattershot diversity than focused consensus, the experience was both informative and amusing; and much preferred to enduring an insufferable PowerPoint presentation. My own spontaneous first thought as to what made Cranbrook attractive was that the Rockies were prominent on our eastern horizon; a pastoral perspective that, if universally shared, would ensure that we never received any special funding.
Wolf kill last hope for caribou BC Views Tom Fletcher
When the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat. In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists. This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task. The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring. Targeted hunting and trapping haven’t been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts. There are seven caribou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. It’s the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one

The province and Treaty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region. It’s long been accepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and predator access through what would otherwise be seamless bush and deep snow. Snowmobiles and even back-country skiers can shift the balance. Smithers-area outdoor enthusiasts are currently being urged to stay away from the Telkwa Mountains, where the caribou herd is down to fewer than 20 animals. Local hunting and snowmobile clubs have observed a ban on motorized travel since 2003, but of course there will always be yahoos who chase animals for fun. A mountain caribou recovery plan was implemented in 2007,
protecting 2.2 million hectares from logging and road-building, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat. Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves. The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range. This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an un-
critical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers. Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them. Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is important. I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

California heat
Haase’s hat trick leads Kimberley Dynamiters to victory Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
With each game he plays, Keenan Haase puts forth a stronger, more confident performance. Friday night provided another piece of evidence in the case file presenting Haase as one of the KIJHL’s dominant power forwards. The native of Mission Viejo, Calif., rattled off three goals and an assist to lead the Kimberley Dynamiters to a 6-2 victory over the Columbia Valley Rockies. “It took him a while to adapt in the league and I’m not too familiar with [his] last season, but I don’t think he got a lot of ice time,” Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks said of Haase Friday night. “Now, he’s in a place where he’s getting ice time, he’s getting special teams, he’s on the power play and he’s a hard worker in practice. He’s learned to be strong on his stick and use his size to his advantage. He’s got a great shot. “Early in the year, you would notice when he tried to beat guys he would stop skating. Now he keeps his feet moving and it’s really paying off for him. He’s a dominant player in this league.” After starting the season with six points (3G, 3A) in seven games, the

6-foot-2 Haase struggled through his next 18 games putting up only four points (1G, 3A). Since December rolled in, the 18-yearold California kid has been as hot as the Mission Viejo summer sun, registering 21 points (13G, 8A) in 17 games. “Our coach [Jerry Bancks] says, ‘If things are going right, double your work ethic,’ and I kind of took that to heart,” Haase said Friday. “Working out more in the gym, off ice and on ice, by myself and [with the guys]. Working as a team and going that little extra mile at the end has helped [my production].” Haase’s extra effort was visible in all areas of the game Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. First, he opened the scoring with a power-play marker less than five minutes into the opening period of play.
Then, he extended the hosts’ lead to 3-0 less than two minutes into the second period, with an even-strength tally. Last, but certainly not least, the 190-pound power forward displayed a strong solo effort to round out the scoring, capping his hattrick performance with a shorthanded goal late in the third period. “It was Coy [Prevost] on the wall and I kind of saw a little break coming,” Haase said, recounting his shorthanded, hat-trick tally. “I told him to chip it to the middle. One ‘D’ was kind of getting off the bench for [the Rockies] so it was kind of a oneon-one and I figured I might as well make a move. It worked out. Got around him and put it on net. “[Coach Bancks] has given me every opportunity I could ever wish for. I’ve had coaches in

But with Jerry and our assistant coaches, they really want you to do better and move on to the next level, which really helps. It’s a pretty positive environment.” Haase wasn’t the lone Dynamiter to turn in a dynamic performance in Friday’s victory over the Rockies. Without the presence of Coy Prevost, Haase might not have had the night he did. Prevost, a Kimberley native, set up Haase twice. Haase returned a bit of the love, assisting Prevost on an early third-period goal to make it 4-1. By the end of the night, Prevost laid claim to one goal and three assists. Though the Nitros eventually ran away
L.A. Kings waive veteran forward Mike Richards Greg Beacham Associated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - The Los Angeles Kings decided they could wait no longer for Mike Richards to regain his championship form. The Kings put Richards on waivers Monday when they returned from the all-star break, acknowledging the veteran centre’s declining play. Richards has been a key part of the Kings’ two Stanley Cup championship teams in the past three seasons, playing a responsible two-way role and providing leadership. But his plummet-
ing offensive production hasn’t matched his exorbitant contract since shortly after he arrived in Los Angeles, which acquired him from Philadelphia in 2011. The Kings stuck by Richards, hoping he would reclaim his formidable offensive game. But when Los Angeles returned from the break in ninth place in the Western Conference standings, general manager Dean Lombardi made the move. “I felt he deserved
that chance for all that he had done for us,” Lombardi said during practice. “I don’t think there’s any question we don’t win that first Cup without what he did for this team, and obviously you don’t win the second one. But you’ve still got to be at a certain level here that has to get done.” Richards, who turns 30 next month, has only five goals and 10 assists in 47 games with Los Angeles this season. He has a minus-7 rating and has
won only 48 per cent of his faceoffs while playing on a depth line with the Kings - not the contributions expected of a player with a 12-year, $69 million contract that has a $5.75 million annual salary cap hit for the next six seasons. If Richards clears waivers and the Kings don’t work out a trade, he could be headed to their AHL affiliate in Manchester if he accepts the assignment. Lombardi sees “no reason why he can’t come back ... and be what he usually is in the playoffs” if his game improves in the minors.
with the win Friday, both Bancks and Haase know there’s still work to be done moving forward. “We were way off for the first 10 minutes [Friday]. [The Rockies] should have been up 1-0 and we got a lucky power-play goal,” Bancks said. “After that, I thought we settled in and played quite well. I really like some of the decisions we made in the third period just to get the puck out.” Defenceman Ryan St. Jean and forward Damon Raven provided the two markers for the Rockies. Lincoln Lane and Eric Buckley rounded out the scoring for the Dynamiters. Rockies starting goaltender Jason Sandhu was yanked after allowing two goals on
three shots in the opening four minutes of the first period. Patrick Ostermann came on in relief, turning aside 32 shots. Tyson Brouwer earned his 21st victory of the season for the Dynamiters with a 22-save performance at the other end of the rink. The victory kept the Dynamiters (24-15-2-3, 53 points) in possession of second place in the Eddie Mountain Division, one point ahead of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (23-15-24, 52). Both teams have played 44 games, with eight contests remaining as they pursue the coveted second slot in the division. The Fernie Ghostriders (32-9-1-2, 67) maintain a stranglehold on the division lead.
The Dynamiters will look to iron out any wrinkles Tuesday night when they travel to Invermere for a rematch with the Rockies. “In the first period [Friday], coach said we had eight turnovers within the first 15 minutes,” Haase said. “That’s nothing to be proud of. We have to lock it down defensively and just move forward from there.” Notes: Friday night, Dynamiters D Jonas Gordon returned to the lineup for the first time since suffering an injury Dec. 2 versus the Golden Rockets. F Jared Marchi (lower body, day to day) and F Marco Campanella (lower body, week to week) are the last remaining Dynamiters on the injured list.

There were five puppies. I pet one on the head. It was the softest thing I ever touched in my life. We held them and pet them and finally we had to pick one.

Ty & the Bear
FAMILY LITERACY DAY 2015
DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
W R I TI N G
“Well, I’m not afraid to spend the night in a haunted house.” Ty boasted to his friends. “But you will be soon” snarled a humongous, furry grizzly bear. Ty stopped dead in his tracks. “A bear just talked to me?” thought Ty. Fearing for his life, Ty ran as fast as a cheetah to the old house. He was sweating buckets when he got there. “Oh gosh why did I do this” he whispered to himself as he stepped inside. As soon as he stepped in, he felt an eerie quietness. He saw all of what used to be the kitchen and an old organ. “Creepy”. Ty shuddered in the dust. He closed the door and headed behind up the stairs. They all creaked and the dust flew off as he stepped on them. When he had got to the top, he thought he heard the door open. Ty froze. He heard heavy footsteps coming closer to him. But he was curious. So he ventured a bit closer and heard the organ playing! Ty really wanted to see who was playing. He could see the player now. The giant bear. Ty snickered. The thought of a bear playing the organ was just too much for him. Suddenly the bear turned and roared at him. Ty tried to run back up the stairs but the bear grabbed his neck already. “Why are you here?” were only words Ty managed to say. “I’m here to make sure you don’t escape” growled the bear. And with that he threw Ty at a wall. He didn’t do anything for a minute, but when he saw the bear charging at him with a steel sword from an old suit of armour, he freaked out and ran. Luckily there was a wooden plank sticking up from the floor and the bear tripped. Quickly, Ty ran over the bear and on to the stairs. “Ah!” screamed Ty as the bear ran to the stairs. It tried to get up the stairs when it fell through. It thudded as it hit the ground below. On the upper floor, which Ty was on, a bookshelf fell over and a few books fell on Ty and the bear. The bear got so angry it started smashing the staircase and pillars holding up the upper floor. “YOU ARN’T GOING TO LIVE THROUGH THIS!” screamed the bear. Ty couldn’t think of anything else to do except for chucking books at the bear, but it didn’t seem to affect the bear it at all. Suddenly, the floor underneath Ty began to collapse. He screamed. Boards broke, furniture fell and Ty ran into a bedroom and started whimpering “No, no why me?” Something fell on the organ as it broke, I’ll get you one day you little runt!!” shrieked the bear as the rest of the first floor fell on it. Ty rushed back home at dusk and told his friends what had happened. They didn’t believe him. But every other day after that just before nightfall he felt the strong cold grip of the bear on his neck.

Snowfort Once upon a time there was a snowfort. One day the snowfort melted and the next day it didn’t melt. Another day it did not melt and the snowfort didn’t melt for the whole winter! Rosie Grade 3 Lindsay Park
Animals Once upon a time there was a girl who liked animals. That girl is me! I love animals. If they’re bugs or cats, dogs, anything. Animals are my favourite. Even the ones who eat other people. I have so many stories to tell you about so better get started. These stories are about when I saw animals. One day I went to a mountain in the summer. We wanted to hike with my aunt and uncle. My sister was in the outhouse. My brother was throwing rocks and my dad was peeing in the river. Me, my aunt, uncle and mom could see them. My dad saw a silver hump across the river and then he saw the head and yelled. Bear! My sister was freaking out in the bathroom. My brother jumped in the truck. My uncle picked me up and took me to the truck and I hit my head on the roof or the door. My dog was on the floor. My aunt and uncle’s truck was up ahead. So all of us had to fit into my truck and drop my aunt and uncle off at their truck. It was a scary time. Kiera Wiebe Grade 3 Lindsay Park
Ski Me and Tuva went on the chairlift ourselves. A younger girl couldn’t catch her chair so we let her come with us. When we got to the top her ski group was waiting for her. She was so happy to see them. Me and Tuva went down the hill. We went on midnight. We did not fall. We snuck down the hill and got in trouble after skiing. We had a play then walked home. Jay tried to push us down. When we got home I had a cookie. Ava Roche Grade 3 Lindsay Park

In one time there was a house and in that house there was a mouse, he always ate cheese that was owned by old Mrs. Reese. Mrs. Reese was old yet very bold and passed away late last May. The house was old and full of mold, but the walls are gray and starting to fade. I would not live in the house with the mouse not now, not ever, that mouse is too clever. Mason L’Heureux Grade 5 McKim School

We must hurt in order to grow. We must fail in order to succeed. We must lose in order to gain. Because some life lessons need to be learned through pain. Claire Massier Grade 7 McKim School
Rolly polly panda, what does he do? He rolls around all day and eats bamboo. Climbng up and down the chutes almost touching the sky. The way mankind is going, let’s hope he survives. Abigal Betker Grade 5 McKim Middle School

The wind is like a brush in your hair A bush is like a ball of cotton and a full moon is like a glow in the night, and the sun holds angels in the sky and trees are like spikes in the ground. Ryder Barraclough Grade 6 McKim School

My name is Jackson and I’m going to tell you about reptils. Did you know the skink is the smallest lizard. A crocodile can be more deadly then a shark. An aligator has a shorter snout then a crocodile. Crested geckos don’t have crests. Leaf-tailed geckos have a tail that looks like a leaf. Jackson Grade 3 Marysville

FAMILY LITERACY DAY 2015
God’s Children The person who rose from the fire will be the fire. The person who rose from the earth will love the earth. The person who rose from the lightning will rule the land. The person who rose from the water will be the water. The person who rose from the plants birthed the plants. The person who rose from the mountains will be as strong as the mountains. Think of all those people made into one person. Guess who it is? A God. He’s everywhere and nowhere. Guess his name. No one knew if he was mortal or immortal, real or not real. The person who made this planet named it earth. Father Time and Mother Nature. Some people say he’s real, some people say he’s not. Some people call him hard names and sometimes easy names. He was born from the stars. All those who rose from the Earth are his little ones. The mystery is not clear. That is the whole story. Tao Buterman Grade 3, Marysville

Once upon a time there was a spider. His name was Richyeo. One time Richyeo tried out for the Pitsberg Penguins. But nobody saw him so he climbed on Sidney Crosby’s leg and bit him. Sidney yelled ahhhh and Richeo said hi. Sidney said hello and Richeo and Sidney tried out and made it. So they went out for lunch to celebrate their victory. Sidney had a burger he shared with Richyeo. On there first practice Richyeo got run over by skaters. So Richyeo got up on Sidney’s leg and skated around and the first game they played Richeo was on Sidney’s leg the whole time! Brooklyn Burki Grade 3 Marysville School

Zebras are very interesting creatures, they have many advantages in life! But lions are their top predauders, they hunt zebras every day. Zebras are white with black stripes. Much mystery is in their colour, their vivid black and white stripes dazzles the eye and the zebras black and white makes them immune to the coming weather such as winter and fall. In the dry season it’s hard to find water, but in all of everything they survive. They’re very neat and interesting. Isobel Betker Grade 3 Marysville

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be overthinking an investment or an interaction with a higher-up, so much so that an obsessive quality could emerge. Consider taking a walk or joining a friend for a leisurely lunch. The unexpected seems to surround your finances. Tonight: Ride the roller coaster of life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be willing to push back if someone tries to run an idea or plans over you. This person can be extremely domineering. You might wonder when to put a halt to this behavior. Detach and you will have a new understanding about what is occurring. Tonight: Only as you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be taken aback by how demanding a key person in your life might be. You’ll wonder what is going on, but it would be best to neutralize the situation for now. Trust in your charm and wit, and wait until tomorrow to unravel the mystery. Tonight: A must appearance.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to distance yourself from a difficult person. Try to do some research and investigate a situation involving both of you. Having more information can’t hurt, but be careful with how you present an alternative solution. Tonight: Time to loosen up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might sense that it is time for a change in your daily life. The area you’ll opt to transform could be your health, your routine or a new hobby. Revitalize yourself, and don’t attempt to persuade someone else to join you. The less said, the better. Tonight: Play it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Allow your creativity to open you up to a new approach in your life. You will have more confidence than you have had in years. If you feel scattered, stop and refocus as well as prioritize. Use your abilities to the max. Tonight: Read between the lines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a tendency to be too serious at times. When you feel
Tundra
cornered by an aggressive associate or loved one, you might add a lot of chaos to what could be simple. Ask yourself if a more direct approach would work better. Tonight: Someone makes an offer you can’t resist. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to loosen up and rethink a decision, especially if a close associate or loved one chooses to challenge you. Ask yourself when it would be appropriate to step back and say “no.” Recognize that you could be triggering a situation. Tonight: Pay attention to a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pace yourself, and get as much done as possible. Someone you care a lot about could be very distracting. Make more time to be with this person, and clear out what is on your mind. Incoming news could surprise you. Do some needed research. Tonight: The party goes on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overwhelmed by what is happening between you and someone else. Don’t
back away, which probably is what you usually do. Be willing to work through the real issue. Your dealings on an individual level will be unusually successful. Tonight: Let go. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll open up new doors through a long-overdue conversation. This important interaction might come out of a disruptive situation. Both of you could be on the defensive. Clear your head and go for a walk. You will see the matter quite differently as a result. Tonight: Your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Share more of your feelings with someone who cares a lot about you. You might discover that you are on target with an important situation. Return calls and stay on top of emails. Curb a tendency to act out or do something a bit weird. Tonight: Be available. BORN TODAY Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756), author Lewis Carroll (1832), U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts (1955) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife has a good personality and makes friends easily. The problem is, she does not keep them. If someone rubs her wrong, she flares up in anger. If someone disagrees with her, she verbally abuses them. She also gets involved in everyone else’s personal affairs. When these negative things happen, the friends start backing off. Then my wife complains that we have no friends and it’s my fault because I’m not outgoing enough. But I am friendly and participate in group gatherings without getting involved in conflicts. I make friends and keep them. This has been going on for 30 years. How can I make her see that she is the one who is driving people away? -- Need Help Down South Dear Need: Your wife is disinclined to blame herself for these things. After all, if she had the capacity for genuine self-examination, she might not be alienating her friends to begin with. You can discuss this honestly, calmly telling your wife that she seems quick to anger and slow to forgive, and perhaps she could learn a different approach, either on her own or through counseling. But if you are unwilling to risk that argument, say neutrally, “Some folks are very sensitive, and I try to be careful about what I say to them and always try to forgive them for things that annoy me. But it’s hard work.” That may give her some ideas about how to treat others, while not assessing blame. It’s your choice. You have to live with her. Dear Annie: I was ashamed of your response to “Need To Be Held,” who was dissatisfied with her husband’s affection. Telling her to get counseling, focus on the grandchildren, get out more, etc., was fine until I came to your last line: “Please consider doing volunteer work with babies at your local hospital.” There are probably hundreds of volunteer opportunities in her community. Just because she is a mother, you assume holding a baby would make her happy? A simple suggestion that she look into volunteering with an organization that matches her passions, whether that be at her local food bank, animal shelter, day care, library or anywhere she wants, would have been less ridiculous. -- Ventura, Calif. Dear Ventura: We appreciate your weighing in, but in your effort to be gender-neutral, you miss the writer’s main point. The woman’s problem isn’t a need to be useful and busy, for which any volunteer job would be helpful. It’s that she isn’t getting enough physical affection. She even signs her letter, “Need To Be Held.” She isn’t likely to find that at her local food bank or library. Volunteering at her local hospital, where she can hold babies, is a wonderful way for her to get the physical affection she craves, and it is also good for the babies. (Men can do it, too.) Dear Annie: “Been There, Done That” lamented the trend to give kids unusual names. These days, complicated names can be an advantage if you are searching for someone on the Internet. A person with a commonly spelled first name can be impossible to find. Fifty years ago, my kid sister announced that she was going to marry someone with a simple last name. But when she married years later, it was to a man whose name was even harder to spell and pronounce than hers. When I taught elementary school in the ‘70s, the principal suggested that it might be easier for students to call me something other than my last name, as long as it started with “Mister.” On my first day, I wrote my name on the board and told the students what the principal had said. They voted to call me “Mister John.” I remember one open house when a parent addressed me by my last name. Their daughter immediately interrupted to say they were incorrect. I was “Mister John.” -- Hard To Spell Last Name Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Lynda was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She moved to Vancouver in the late 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The love of her life, daughter Holly, was born in 1972. Lynda and Holly returned to Winnipeg in 1974. Neil met Lynda in 1976. Neil, Lynda and Holly moved to Yellowknife in 1979. Neil and Lynda were married in 1981. The family then moved to the Yukon and returned to Winnipeg in 1987. Lynda and Neil relocated to Cranbrook in 1991. Lynda fell in love with her new city. She adored the mountains and would refer to them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;herâ&#x20AC;? mountains. Lynda loved all animals and birds. She would often stop to chat with dogs, cats, deer and birds. She called them all â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetyâ&#x20AC;?. Lynda was predeceased by her mother and father, June and Jack Hunnisett. Lynda is survived by her husband Neil; daughter Holly (Andrew); sister Shirley (Bill); three stepsons, Blaine (Sue), Shawn (AnnMarie), Neil Jr.; five grandchildren, Alton, Keaton, Emerson, Ella and Josie. She will also be sadly missed by her best friend Susan and Desi the cat.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’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 you’re in business, you have overhead and you’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.
