Family Day weekend at Kimberley Alpine Resort Family Day lift ticket prices and a week of ski racing kicks off C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The next two weekends are big ones for the Kimberley Alpine Resort — BC Family Day this weekend, followed by Alberta Family Day the next. It has been a winter of very little snow thus far, but conditions at the Resort are as good as they could possibly be under the circumstances. There’s a lot going on at KAR this weekend, including half price lift tickets on Monday, February 9 to celebrate Family Day. “We are very proud to be able to support BC Family Day and the opportunity to provide a great value to our community members to take part

The Kimberley Dynamiters Jewels on Ninth Player of the Month for January is Jordan Busch. Presenting for the Dynamiters is Anne Harris. The Dynamiters have a big home weekend coming up, playing Fernie on Friday, 7 p.m., and Grand Forks on Sunday afternoon, 2 p.m. That game features a Family Day special admission price of $5.
MADE EASY!
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a police shooting in Castlegar on Jan. 29, 2015. The man was Waylon Jesse Edey, aged 39, of Yahk. Mr. Edey was shot following an encounter with RCMP officers which occurred during the evening of Jan. 29, near the east end of the Kinnaird Bridge on Highway 3 in Castlegar. He was transported to Kootenay-Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, but succumbed to his injuries a short time after his arrival at hospital.
The BC Coroners Service and the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) continue to investigate this death. The mandate of the IIO is to investigate whether any offences under the Criminal Code may have been committed by the police officers involved. The mandate of the BC Coroners Service in such cases is broader, and the coroner’s investigation may look at the events that led up to the final fatal outcome and whether there are reasonable and practical recommendations that could be made which might prevent future deaths in similar circumstances.

Three injured in avalanche near Kicking Horse Skiers were out of bounds at time Golden Star
An avalanche struck outside Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s boundaries Tuesday afternoon and left three individuals with non life-threatening injuries. At 3 p.m., Kicking Horse Mountain Safety Dispatch received a call for an avalanche and potential missing persons outside the ski area boundary, located south of the resort. The resort’s Mountain Safety personnel immediately started an investigation and activated their avalanche rescue plan. After confirming avalanche debris outside of the ski area boundary, RCMP and other outside agencies were activated. By 3:26 p.m., all three missing persons were accounted for and airlifted offsite for minor injuries, completing the rescue operation. None of them were even partially buried by the slide. “The Kicking Horse Mountain Safety Team, Golden and District Search and Rescue (GADSAR) and all personnel involved did an outstand-
ing job today, with minimal effect to normal operation,” said Mike Rubenstein, Director of Mountain Operations. Kyle Hale lead GADSAR’s team. “When we arrived it was just a small avalanche but it was through some high consequence terrain. It was very steep with lots of hazards such as trees and cliffs,” he said. Hale said there was concern that rescuers could trigger additional avalanches, so his team was delayed in getting to the injured parties while they ensured that their presence wouldn’t cause an additional slide. All three men are in their early 20s, all from Saskatchewan. They were skiing out-of-bounds near Terminator 2 when they allegedly caused and were subsequently caught in the avalanche. One of the men was able to call 911 and the Safety Team from Kicking Horse Mountain Resort was able to quickly locate them. None of the men had proper avalanche gear with them at the time, something that Hale sees far too frequently despite increased awareness. “It’s a lot less than in the past but it’s still out there. People still recreate in the mountains without the appropriate equipment or training.”

Local NEWS RCR Railway museum Kimberley setting off in a Alpine Resort new directions supports EKFH with $500 to ICU Arne Petryshen
The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel is setting off on a new track that its directors hope will make it more of diversified destination museum in the area. The relaunch will see the museum become the Cranbrook History Centre. At city council on Monday, Char Murray, executive director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, said they aim to increase sustainability while expanding audiences. They aim to increase the value of the museum to the people of Cranbrook, as well as
being responsible stewards of the collections. “Interest in our trains has been declining, to survive we needed to broaden our appeal,” Murray said. In 2013 the board and director at the time determined that the organization needed to go in a new direction. They determined that the guiding principals would direct the new direction. “Broadening our audience base is going to be huge,” Murray said. “We will engage our residents by changing exhibitions which will focus on history, art, culture and nature.”

25 evacuated from Cranbrook apartment due to smoke Kitchen fire quickly extinguished in Cranbrook apartment 25 residents of an apartment on 12th Street North in Cranbrook safely left their suites after a small
kitchen fire Tuesday night began filling the building with smoke – thanks to the buildings recently serviced fire alarm system. Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services responded to the alarm from the apartment complex at 2201 12th Street North at approximately 9:14pm Tuesday
night. Fire and emergency crews responded with one engine and 14 firefighters, along with EHS and RCMP personnel. Upon arrival, crews found signs of smoke and entered the building. All affected residents were accounted for and were found congregated at the front of the build-
Rail Museum changes From page 4 Murray said they will also be creating new programs, such as education programs for students and families, and special events. “We want to engage our community — we want to bring the residents of Cranbrook into that facility,” she said. “I think for too long we’ve been at arms length and we want the community to know that we are open for business, we are welcoming and that it is indeed for the citizens.” Murray said it is difficult for museums to find a balance between, restoration and interpretation of their collections. ‘We’re doing this by assessing our collection and determining what is our prime ship of revenue generators and determining what will happen to the rest of our collection,” she said. Back in 2013, the museum board engaged a marketing agency. The agency determined that the museum’s vision for the future was not accurately described in the name Canadian Museum of Rail Travel. The Cranbrook History Centre will act as an umbrella for Canadian Museum of Rail Travel,

the Cranbrook Archives, the Royal Alexandra Hall and the Cranbrook Museum. The Cranbrook Museum will have galleries with local history exhibits, geology, palaeontology and natural history. “This will encompass all that we are in Cranbrook,” she said, adding that between Calgary and Vancouver there is nothing that quite meets up to what the museum has.”We have huge potential.” She said they want to enhance the “nationally important” collection of railway legacy. “This is something that we want to build on. We want to enhance our collection and scale down to something that is significant.” Murray said they are also decreasing reliance on financial support from the city over time in favour of self-reliance. “We are working to maximize the return on the city’s investment for the five years, we want
to multiply the funding that we have attracted from provincial, federal and private sources. Already we have attracted millions of dollars in capital investment from non-municipal sources.” She said over the past 10 years they have raised over $8.2 million. They hope to raise between $1.5 and $2.5 million from non-municipal and private sources in the next five years. Coun. Isaac Hockley noted that the museum would be a great location for the Cranbrook and District Arts Council. Murray said she has a list from some time ago that outlines the art council’s issues with moving in there. Murray also saw issues. “We have considered this, but we just don’t feel that it is a partnership that would work for each other,” she said.
Special Council Meeting 2015 – 2019 Five Year Financial Plan A special meeting of Council is scheduled for budget discussions, as it pertains to the City of Cranbrook 2015 – 2019 Five Year Financial Plan.

ing. There were no injuries. “This is a perfect example of how having proper fire detection equipment and a solid fire safety plan can ensure the safety of residents not just in an
apartment fire, but single family homes and businesses,” says Scott Driver, Deputy Director of Fire and Emergency Services. “This is exactly how the process is supposed to work and high-
lights why having a working alarm system and safety plan is so important. It works.” Crews discovered the fire isolated to a single suite and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Once the building was cleared of smoke, the building was deemed safe and all residents were allowed to return home.

EYE ON YOUR CITY A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Industry Attraction - An important part of the City’s economic development strategy is to engage 6 - 8 business people from the community that have the knowledge and experience needed to help develop an industry attraction plan. This is a creative committee, not a bureaucratic committee. The function of this group is that of a “think tank” – and the goal is to generate ideas for industrial development, the best of which will be passed to the City’s Economic Development Officer for detailed diligence and action. Please express your interest in participating in this volunteer opportunity by sending a short summary of experience before February 27th to: kwilson@kimberley.ca New No-Parking Zone – Please observe the new no-parking regulations and signage on the 100-block of Wallinger Avenue (in front of the recentlycleared Bavarian Esso lot). The purpose of this no-parking zone is to allow large trucks delivering to Platzl businesses ample room to turn into the laneway. Two parking stalls nearest Spokane Street will remain. There is plenty of parking at the lot across Wallinger and at the parking lot next to Centre 64. Garbage Reminder – Garbage pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and garbage must not be set out before 5:00 a.m., as unattended garbage attracts bears and other wildlife. If you choose to put out your garbage later than 7:30 a.m. and the garbage truck passes earlier than usual, you run the risk of not having your garbage collected that day. Each household may put out up to two cans or four bags of garbage per week. Garbage cans should be a maximum of 77 litres (20.3 gallons) similar to the Rubbermaid “Roughneck” garbage cans. The maximum weight allowed is 13 kilograms per bag (28.6 lbs). If you use a garbage can, please be advised that all garbage must be in a large plastic garbage bag which is tied closed. Loose garbage will not be collected. For more details on the garbage collection schedule or garbage can specifications, visit Kimberley.ca/Services/garbage-pickup-schedule or call 250-427-9660.
Brownbag Lunch with Mayor McCormick - On Wednesday, February 11th, and on the second Wednesday of each month, Mayor McCormick will be hosting a brown-bag luncheon at City Hall from noon until 1:30 pm. Bring your own lunch and have a discussion with the Mayor. Stat Holiday - City Hall will be closed on February 9th for the BC Family Day Holiday. Meeting Schedule - The Regular Meeting of Council will be held on Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. A Committee of the Whole Meeting to discuss grants to organizations will be held on Thursday, February 12th at 7:00 p.m. UV Wastewater Treatment – The City is no longer using Chlorine Gas and Sulphur Dioxide to treat sewage. The wastewater is now being treated with UV rather than chemicals before it is released into the St. Mary River.

Breaking down the unbelievable
I
can’t help but feel like the Seattle Seahawks snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Yes, they were trailing 28-24 to the New England Patriots at the end of the game, but with four downs and a yard to go, it seemed like a sure thing to complete a lategame upset for a championship repeat in the dying seconds. Then, the most mystifying play unfolded. Instead of handing the ball to, you know, one of the best running backs in the game, Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, acting on orders from head coach Pete Carroll, threw the ball. It was a history-making play for all the wrong reasons, as Pats cornerback Malcolm Butler got inside his man and intercepted the pass, which all but ended the game. A camera was trained on Richard “I’m the best corner in the game” Sherman during the play and if you look hard enough, you can see the exact moment where his heart breaks. After the game, Carroll tried to defend the play, saying he was too focused on trying to confuse the Pats defence. I’m still wondering if someone handed Wilson a deflated football. However, it was still an entertaining game right down to the last second. That Jermaine Kearse catch will go down as one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. I had flashbacks of David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII in 2008, and laughed because the New York Giants
went on to upset the Patriots, who had gone undefeated all season. But thanks to Butler’s interception, the Pats captured their fourth NFL title in 14 years, with New England QB Tom Brady earning his third MVP honours, which puts him in the conversation as one of the greatest of all time. However, more than just a football game, the Super Bowl is a spectacle, and the half-time show with headliner Katy Perry certainly delivered. I haven’t figured out what surTrevor prised me more: the dancing Crawley “Left Shark” that is now viral on the Internet, or the sudden reappearance of Missy Elliott in the middle of the show. Speaking of spectacles, on Monday, the Los Angeles Kings headed to the White House to be feted by American President Barack Obama for their second NHL championship in three years. Obama greeted the Kings in the East Room of the White House and hailed their ability to win championships as a traditional winter sport in a decidedly un-wintery climate. Sutter presented Obama with an engraved silver hockey stick, which, I’m told, should help him stickhandle through a Republican-held Congress. While the Kings were showing off their championship ring at the White House, a young Texas boy was suspended for bringing the “One Ring” to school. Yep, inspired by the object of J.R.R. Tolkien’s creation in Lord of the Rings, a nine-year-old boy recently earned his sus-
pension after telling his friend that he could make him vanish with Lord Sauron’s jewelry. Of course, the school declined to respond for comment to media requests and hid behind the excuse of confidentiality. Perhaps they were bullied into silence by the Nazgul. Simply disappearing from school is frowned upon these days. If the kid really wanted his friend to disappear, he’d need a note from his parents, or at least, permission from Gandalf or Aragorn. While parents and school officials fight about the purported claim of a magical ring, a potential American presidential candidate made a pretty interesting claim by linking vaccination with mental disorders. Rand Paul — a ophthalmologist — put his foot in his mouth during an interview on NBC, saying he heard of cases where children ended up with profound mental disorders after getting vaccinated. He went on to explain that vaccines are a good thing, so try figure out the double-speak there. That’s not to say that there hasn’t ever been an adverse reaction to a vaccine, but there are studies upon studies upon studies by medical professionals that demonstrate the preventative benefits of vaccination. I mean, it’s the 21st century and we’re still debating this. However, now that we’re on the topic of debates, what can’t be argued is the silliness of Carroll’s final play-call this past weekend. That was just plain unfortunate.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
4-H projects weigh-in
The Cranbrook & District 4-H swine and sheep weigh-in was held January 31 at the Grasmere Hall. It was an exciting day as 4-H members from the Cranbrook, Wasa and South Country clubs chose and purchased their market pigs and lambs. To get ready for this day sheep and swine members learned about desirable traits that they would be looking for in their project animal. Good conformation is one thing to look for — some members were swayed by cuteness. We would like to give a special thank you to Community Futures for their generous support of project animals through their 4-H Youth Loan program. Having a 4-H project means that members will feed and care for their animal, learn showmanship, grooming and judging to exhibit their animal at the Cranbrook & District 4-H Show and Sale to be held on June 7 this year at the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds. Record keeping is also an important part of 4-H and our moto is ‘Learn to Do by Doing’. Detailed records must be kept on feed, equipment, animal health and any other things related to the project animals. Project animals will be cared for by each member through daily chores. This means that each member is responsible to get up early and feed before school — even when it is -20 degrees — to be sure their animal has fresh food and water to start the day. Later each day, chores need to be done again, including halter training for sheep, and making sure their animal gets adequate exercise. Our next Cranbrook 4-H Multi club event will be 4-H Public Speaking Sunday, February 15, 1 pm at the College of the Rockies. Public is welcome. If you would like more information on 4-H or on our upcoming club activities please contact Tracy Adams at 250-4262801 or email mikeandtracy3@shaw.ca Elijah Siewert Cranbrook 4-H Multi Club
Monsters of ISIS
Jim Campbell, in his recent letter to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, stated that the situation with ISIS is not our problem. In other words, he has no problem with the brutal torturing and killing of innocent citizens and their children, beheading foreign journalists and most recently, the burning of a downed airplane pilot alive while he was locked in a cage. I am grateful that we have a Prime Minister in Ottawa who, along with the coalition members, has taken a stand to stop these monsters. It is also gratifying to see that a recent poll showed that over 80 per cent of Canadians agree with the government’s position and that the leaders of the opposition parties are also now showing support.

Wolf Slaughter
The slaughter ofwolves that is currently happening in British Columbia is supported by many organizations — including Wildsight. This slaughter of wolves will accomplish only one thing — the slaughter of wolves. Wildsight is proof of a living contradiction by supporting this slaughter. Recently, John Bergenske of Wildsight even pre-
dicted the eventual failure of this experiment when he said: “It is unfortunate and sad to be targeting wolves when we know it isn’t wolves that have created this situation. Wolves are far too often scapegoated for human caused problems.” That same conclusion can be found right next door in Alberta. Biologist Dave Hervieux recently reported in the Canadian Journal of Zoology (vol 92 issue 12) that after nearly a decade and a half of slaughtering wolves (980 wolves shot and/or poisoned) to try and “save” the little smokey caribou herd (100 animals) very little progress had been made in terms of increasing the caribou herd; “Although the wolf population reduction program appeared to stabilize the little smoky population (of caribou) it did not lead to a population increase.” Conservationists in Alberta who originally supported the little smoky wolf slaughter (Alberta Wilderness Association) eventually stopped their support when it became readily apparent that human impact on ecosystems are imminent and unavoidable. They concluded with the following: “It is a completely unethical approach to just declare a war on wolves when they are a symptom and not a root cause.” University of Montana biologist Mark Hebblewhite hit the nail on the head when he lamented the culture of development that humans engage in, and suggested a radically different approach to helping caribou: “Pick two herds. Fence them. Remove predators non-lethally and just farm caribou.” He added, “That’s how bad it is!” And so,when the human condition has an impact on the natural world — a web of infinite complexity” — what is the result? We point fingers, of course — and wolves die — and caribou stare into oblivion,and say their goodbyes too. Darryl Oakley Kimberley
Egregious Driving
I am writing to say thank-you to all the people who actually stop at stop signs. I also thoroughly thank those who stop three feet from my back bumper instead of three inches. However, I don’t thank the person who blew through the four-way stop on 6th Street North and Kootenay Street without slowing down, when there were five people waiting their turn to go through the intersection. That kind of thoughtless non-caring causes people pain and injury. Stop means stop! Barbara Haigh Cranbrook
Voluntary National Household Survey
Dear Mr. Harper, Re: The Voluntary National Household Survey (V-NHA). The Board of Education, School District 5 (SD5), Southeast Kootenay, British Columbia, writes to you today out of concern for the lack of useful statistical data that is currently available to Canadians due to 2010 changes to the National Household Survey (NHS) –also known as the census — from mandatory to voluntary completion. Recently our Board inquired into the formula factors used for provincial funding for an important BC school district
program, CommunityLINK. This program supports vulnerable students in communities across the province of BC and is based on a set of Vulnerable Student Supplement (VSS) formula factors that measure vulnerability based on economic conditions, social conditions and educational attainment. Much of the data used to measure these VSS formula factors relies on Statistics Canada census data. Last year the BC Ministry of Education contacted BC Stats to inquire about 2011 census data and was informed that there are some concerns with the 2011 NHS data. In her October, 2014 correspondence to our District Principal of Student Services, Ministry policy analyst Nancy Needham states, “Stats Can has urged caution when using the data, particularly for longitudinal analysis, which has added new complexities to updating the VSS formula”. Obviously, as the NHS is now a voluntary survey there is no way of knowing where a count was complete and where it was not. This makes the possibility of receiving accurate longitudinal analysis almost impossible, especially in communities like those in our District whose populations are less than 25,000. Without current, accurate data our provincial government can only guess where the vulnerable students in small BC communities reside meaning that many Districts may receive too little — or too much — CommunityLINK subsidy funding even though it is based on the VSS. Given that the Federal Government has the means to ensure accurate data collection as evidenced by years of usable data provided by the previously mandatory NHS results, it is simply unacceptable that our provincial government is put in the position of having to “guess” how to spend tax dollars responsibly, especially given this time of fiscal restraint and accountability. It is for these reasons that, at the November 12th Public Board meeting the Board carried the following motion: M/S that the Board write a joint letter with stakeholders to Prime Minister Harper urging his government to reconsider the changes of the National Household Survey from voluntary back to mandatory and that this letter be copied to Head of Statistics Canada, opposition party leaders, our local MP, the Premier and education ministers of BC and their opposition, our local MLA, presidents of the Canadian School Boards’ Association (CSBA), the BC School Trustees’ Association (BCSTA), Canadian School Boards’ Association (CFF), BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), National and BC Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC)(for distribution to their members), local association chairs/presidents and to media. We sincerely hope your government will reconsider replacing the V-NHS with the original mandatory census in order to ensure that all tax dollars are being allocated in a fiscally responsible manner. We cannot imagine that BC CommunityLINK funding is the only casualty of “best guess” economics due to the unreliability of the V-NHS.

Skapski recalled by New York Rangers Former Ice goaltender headed for NHL via Broadway 2015 Bantam Tier 2 Provincials
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
MEMORIAL ARENA, CRANBROOK
Former Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski is Broadway-bound after being recalled by the NHL’s New York Rangers Wednesday afternoon. He served as the back up to goaltender Cam Talbot in the Rangers meeting with the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. Skapski, a native of Abbotsford, was called up by the Rangers after starting goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was struck in the throat by a puck Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Swedish star finished Saturday’s game before suiting up again Monday against the Florida Panthers. Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said Lundqvist’s absence was a direct result of being struck in the throat over the weekend.

Universiade connections Six with ties to Cranbrook represent Canada at 2015 Winter Universiade in Spain Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Cranbrook is being well represented at the 2015 Winter Universiade in Granada, Spain. A total of six individuals with connections to Cranbrook have headed for Spain as members of the Canadian men’s and women’s hockey teams. Forwards Kevin King and Elgin Pearce, goaltender Kris Lazaruk (University of Calgary) and defenceman Luke Paulsen (University of Manitoba) are all Kootenay Ice alumni representing Canada in Spain. King (2006-07 to 2010-11), Pearce (200910 to 2012-13), Lazaruk (2006-07 to 2007-08) and Paulsen (2009-10 to 2011-12) all spent time with the Ice in the past decade. “At the beginning of the season I had no intentions of being on this team, I did not think I was on the radar,” Lazaruk told Lance
Doucet, sports information assistant at the University of Calgary. “It feels like icing on the cake for my final season. It is going to be a special couple of weeks.” Additionally, Todd Johnson (University of Regina) is team leader for the Canadian men. He spent the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons with the Kootenay Ice as an assistant coach. The Canadian men opened preliminary action Feb. 3 with a resounding 11-1 victory over the Republic of Korea at Granada Sport Palace. King registered a hat trick for the Canadians, while Pearce chipped in with a goal. Paulsen added an assist and Lazaruk turned aside all eight shots he faced in 29:14 of crease time, splitting duties with Ryan Holdfeld (University of Saskatchewan). The Canadians face Sweden Feb. 5 before
wrapping up preliminary action Feb. 7 against the Russian Federation. On the women’s side of the equation, Daley Oddy is suiting up for Canada after posting 11 goals and 23 points with the St. Francis Xavier University X-Women of the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference within Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). “I am very excited to start playing with the team. From our first practice, it is easy to tell that we have a very skilled and fast team,” Oddy told St.FX Athletics and Recreation Tuesday. “I know that I am very lucky to have an opportunity to play for Canada in Spain, and I expect to make lots of memories with all the new people I have met.” The Canadian women opened preliminary action Wednesday, defeating Kazakhstan 7-1 at Mulhacen Pavilion.

Cranbrook Bugle Band: 2015 has begun and Miss Pat’s back! Submit ted
Just to give you a little background on our band in case you are not familiar with the Cranbrook Bugle Band. The Band was formed in 1941 so is 74 years old this year. It’s the oldest youth group that in Cranbrook that carries the city name, which means the Cranbrook name is out there wherever we go.
The band has travelled as far east as Montreal, north to Whitehorse, west to Victoria and Seattle and south to Salt Lake City. We have won awards throughout the years with the oldest trophy being from 1952. As an example of having the Cranbrook Bugle Band out there, a gentleman that passed away in Calgary in 2014 willed his bugle and drumsticks to the Cranbrook Bugle Band, as he always enjoyed watching us and would travel to see us. The Cranbrook Bugle Band had a great 2014. They represented Cranbrook at several parades
Members of the Cranbrook Bugle Band rehearsing at Steeples Elementary School in Cranbrook. and shows throughout the Kootenays and Alberta, winning different awards such as Best Marching Unit, Best Musical Group as well as 2nd in Junior Bands at the Calgary Stampede in 2014. The band that won 1st was the Roundup band from Calgary, a 100 member unit.
The band’s performance season began with Band Camp in April, and ended with the very wet Santa Claus parade here in
Cranbrook. Miss Pat was acting Director throughout the summer, returning as full Director in the fall. With a new year starting we are now accepting new members and since the is co-ed member ship is open to all youths from the ages of 11 – 18. You do not need to be a resident of Cranbrook, only be able to attend the practices on Wednesday evenings (6:30 – 8 pm) and Saturday mornings
(10 am – 1 pm). The band practices at Steeples Elementary School. When the current members were asked about their time in Bugle Band, there was lots of different responses, like “it is fun”, “we have lots of adventures such as going zip lining, holding owls, going to the zoo, through corn mazes, even a reptile museum.” “It is like having an-
other family and we have so much fun on our trips, I’m really going to miss it when I graduate,” said Jessika Hartman who is going into her 7th year. Some of the members stated that playing the bugle was easier then some instruments as we play by ear (no sheet music to learn) and teach each other.
Calgary is a favorite trip of lots of the band members as we always go to the Stampede
Submitted
grounds in the evening and you get to meet and mingle with other bands from all over the world as well as go shopping. One of the newest members tells us she joined bugle band as she loves to play instruments, but she is finding it lots of fun and is looking forward to band camp and all of the trips planned for this year. Another new member is following in the footsteps of her
great-grandmother, her mom and other family members. She loves Bugle Band, making new friends, learning new dances and is also looking forward to the upcoming trips which includes a six-day trip. Another senior member, Lydia is “looking forward to another great year”. Projected performances/trips for 2015 include shows throughout the Kootenays, Spokane, Coleman, Calgary, Quesnel, Penticton and more. Unfortunately, we have to decline may invitations as they overlap with other dates. Come and join us for a great opportunity to represent Cranbrook, make new friends, travel and have lots of fun.

arts/entertainment Symphony concert features the great John Williams Barry Coulter
The Symphony of the Kootenays third concert of the 2014/15 season and the first of the new year bodes to warm up your mid-winter blues with a trip to Hollywood. “A Night At The Movies” will bring some of Hollywood’s greatest
hits to Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 7. When one speaks of some of Hollywood’s greatest hits, one invariably thinks of John Williams, an American composer and pianist, generally considered one of the greatest film
composers of all time. Jeff Faragher, Music and Artistic Director for the Symphony of the Kootenays, told the Townsman that originally the Symphony was looking at featuring lots of composers for this concert. “But as I researched it more and
the RDEK is on the hunt for the 2015 Electoral Area Volunteers of the Year
more I thought it better to stick with just one, and who better than John Williams. We’re going to featuring a lot of his film score music and it should be a lot of fun.” On the program for Saturday are some of the most well-known film compositions of all time — a John Williams revue. The themes from “Jaws,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and “Superman,” as
well as pieces like “That’s Entertainment” and “The Cowboys Overture,” will be familiar and pleasing to audiences. And the Symphony will be including a couple of prominent classical pieces, by Mozart and Samuel Barber, which have been used in film a lot, and illustrates the importance of classical music in popular culture and how the classical composers have in-
fluenced the movie composers. As usual, the Symphony will be holding an open rehearsal in advance of the concert, Saturday, Feb. 7, from
noon to 1:30 p.m., to which the public is invited. Tickets for “A Night At The Movies” are available at the Key City Theatre box office.
Deadline is Friday, February 6th! Nomination forms are now available at our Cranbrook & Columbia Valley RDEK offices and on our website at www.rdek.bc.ca.

arts/entertainment More than 50 years later, a sequel to ‘Mockingbird’ Hillel Italie Associated Press
NEW YORK — “To Kill a Mockingbird” will not be Harper Lee’s only published book after all. Publisher Harper announced Tuesday that “Go Set a Watchman,” a novel the Pulitzer Prize-winning author completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14. Rediscovered last fall, “Go Set a Watchman” is essentially a sequel to “To Kill a Mockingbird,” although it was finished earlier. The 304-page book will be Lee’s second, and the first new work in more than 50 years. The publisher plans a first printing of 2 million copies. “In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called ‘Go Set a Watchman,”’ the 88-year-old Lee said in a statement issued by Harper. “It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’) from the point of view of the young Scout. “I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I hadn’t realized it (the original book) had survived, so was surprised and delighted when my dear friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it. After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years.” According to publisher Harper, Carter came upon the manuscript at a “secure location where it had been affixed to an original typescript of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.”’ The new book is set in Lee’s famed Maycomb, Alabama, during the mid1950s, 20 years after “To Kill a Mockingbird” and roughly contemporaneous with the time that Lee was writing the story. The civil rights movement was taking hold by the time she was working on “Watchman.” The Supreme Court had ruled unanimously in 1953 that seg-

Atticus,” the publisher’s announcement reads. “She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand her father’s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place

where she was born and spent her childhood.” Lee herself is a Monroeville, Alabama native who lived in New York in the 1950s. She now lives in her hometown. According to the publisher, the book will be released as she first wrote it, with no revisions. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is among the most beloved novels in history, with worldwide sales topping 40 million copies. It was released on July 11, 1960, won the
or
Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into a 1962 movie of the same name, starring Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance as the courageous attorney Atticus Finch. Although occasionally banned over the years because of its language and racial themes, the novel has become a standard for reading clubs and

is an extraordinary gift to the many readers and fans of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ Reading in many ways like a sequel to Harper Lee’s classic novel, it is a compelling and ultimately moving narrative about a father and a daughter’s relationship, and the life of a small Alabama town living through the racial tensions of the 1950s.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel out of whack because of recent pressure. You also might suspect that you are too much of a misunderstood dreamer. You often feel challenged to translate these ideas into a form in which others can understand them. Tonight: Keep your plans hush-hush. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might suspect that a partner is raining on your parade. You might wonder what would be best to do when dealing with a domestic matter and the issue that provoked it. You will have to decide whether you want to reveal all the details. Tonight: Fun and friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) An associate’s mood could make interacting difficult. This person seems to be in an emotional state, while you are off daydreaming about what could be. You’ll need to take off your rose-colored glasses, because you need to know what you are dealing with. Tonight: Order in.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be past the point of being able to look at a situation without bias. By asking questions and getting feedback from others, you will see where you stand. You could be a lot more in tune with someone’s desires than you realize. Tonight: Start planning the weekend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen carefully to a loved one. This person might be upset, and if you can get him or her to speak about the issue, you’ll want to stay tuned in. You could be concerned about a financial matter. Be sure that you’re being realistic. Tonight: Ever playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be in your element as a partner or loved one goes out of his or her way to let you know how much he or she cares. Someone else could be in a bad mood and seem closed down in any conversation you try to start. Let it go. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand more of what is going on with
Tundra
a child or loved one. Know that this person could cop an attitude if you ask too many questions. Be realistic about your health. Schedule a much-needed doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want. You might have a difficult time making your point with a friend or in a meeting. It might have very little to do with your style of communication, but instead with the other party’s drifting mind; he or she tends to daydream a lot. Tonight: Where the gang is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to try a different approach when dealing with someone in charge. You have been very concise and straightforward in the past, and it could give others the impression that you will be less flexible than they’d like. Tonight: At a spontaneous get-together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overtired and find others to be confusing. Touch base with a key person. You might think you know what is
going on, but it’s possible that you’re wearing rose-colored glasses. Confirm your impression. Tonight: Respond to a friend’s caring gesture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow a partner to take the lead and do more of what he or she wants. Use caution with your funds. You might want to make a long-awaited purchase that you’ve been dreaming of. No one is stopping you, but it would be wise not to overspend. Tonight: Express your caring. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Though someone could be challenging and difficult at times, you still will want to let him or her know how much you care. You also might want to make sure you are realistic in your perceptions about this person. Tonight: Buy a special item you have been wanting.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My twin sister and I are 57. Every time she visits me, she takes things. Often, I don’t realize the things are missing until I need to use them, or when I want to wrap them as gifts, which is what happened last Christmas. When this has happened in the past, I’ve confronted my sister, but she denies taking anything. However, during my last visit to her new home, I caught her. I was hanging up my clothes in the closet, and to my shock, the top shelf had several of my missing things. I called my sister in to explain, and of course, she couldn’t lie about not stealing the items I could plainly see. I’m financially better off than my twin, but she does quite well, too. I have always been there for her when she needed anything. She lived with me for several years when she had nowhere else to go, and I helped her get out of debt. My brother also steals from me when he stays here. And when my sister came last week, after she gave me her word that she could be trusted, I discovered several items missing. Is there a reason people do this? -Kansas Twin Dear Twin: Your twin (and your brother) may suffer from kleptomania, an impulse control disorder that makes it difficult to resist urges to steal items that, for the most part, you don’t need and won’t use. Your risk of developing this mental health disorder is increased if you have a parent or sibling with kleptomania, obsessive-compulsive disorder or a substance abuse problem. Your siblings seem to qualify. You can talk to your sister, saying that you are worried about her, and suggest she ask her doctor for a referral to a mental health professional. We hope she gets help before she steals from someone who will have her arrested. Dear Annie: I hope my question is not too far out of line. I have noticed many people are not able to talk without using their hands. And they can’t seem to keep their hand movements to a reasonable limit. I recently stopped watching one of my favorite TV shows because the constant hand waving is too distracting. When a person I am close to gets out of control, I lower my eyes and do not watch, but I find the constant gesturing very annoying. Why do they do this? -- J. Dear J.: Most people use their hands when they speak, some more than others. Hand gestures can underscore what you are saying and, to some extent, can also indicate friendliness or engagement in the topic. Keeping your hands still might be misinterpreted as indifference or boredom. But large and constant hand gestures can be distracting and annoying and tend to be more common within cultures or families. This obviously bothers you a great deal. If you are good friends with someone who waves his hands around excessively, you can gently point it out and ask whether he would temper the gestures a bit. Dear Annie: I would like to thank “Powerless” for writing in with concerns about her atheist friend. I grew up atheist in a suburban school where, although I was a proselytization target, I was fortunate not to experience that kind of relentless bullying. I would like to offer a resource that might help, especially if the school district is uncooperative. The Secular Student Alliance (www.secularstudents.org) is a group of students and families who help each other with situations like this. Please let Powerless know that she and her friend are not powerless. I hope both of them remain safe and get through this situation. -- W.

Lawyer says authorities trying to embarrass hunter accused of killing sheep in Yukon C anadian Press
KAMLOOPS, B.C. Conservation authorities are trying to discredit and embarrass his client, says a lawyer representing an alleged cross-border poacher accused of lying about where he shot a record-setting Dall sheep. “These people have made it their life’s work to get Mr. Dougan,” Kevin Church said. Abe Dougan was back in provincial court on Wednesday for the continuation of a trial on a dozen poaching charges stemming from a Dall sheep hunt in August 1999. The hunting guide based in Kamloops, B.C., claims to have killed the sheep in a remote part of the province, where he was entitled to hunt, but is accused of actually killing it in the Yukon. Dougan’s trial is being held in B.C. because that’s where he took the sheep for a compulsory inspection
after claiming he killed the animal on a mountain range in the province. It wasn’t until 2011, after the kill earned Dougan a spot in the Big Game Records of B.C. book, that Environment Yukon received a tip from someone saying the mountain in the photo was actually in the territory. Using three-dimensional mapping software, an investigator located a Yukon mountain with similar characteristics to one in the background of Dougan’s photo. In the summer of 2011, investigators flew by helicopter to the site where they claim Dougan bagged the sheep 18 kilometres north of the Yukon-B.C. border. They took a photo of the mountain range from the location where they believe Dougan’s hunting partner was standing when the trophy photo was taken, court heard.
The two pictures bear striking similarities, including a series of slides in the background and a distinct plateau on a mountain over Dougan’s left shoulder. “They’re embarrassing him to Mr. Giles, the person that he’s working for,” Church said Wednesday of conservation authorities. “They’re telling him, ‘This guy is a bad guy. You shouldn’t deal with him.” Last week, Dougan was charged with three new counts stemming from an unrelated cougar hunt near Williams Lake, B.C., more than a year ago. Charges against him, along with Brent Giles and Ryan Hartling, include one count each of hunting wildlife within six hours of being airborne and unlawful possession of dead wildlife. Church said the charges likely wouldn’t have been laid if not for the interest in Dougan

generated by the Dall sheep case, for which a trial has been ongoing sporadically for over a year. Church said Wednesday that the Dall sheep charges are not serious enough to warrant the amount of court time they have garnered. “You have murders, you have accessing of child pornography by people in authority,” he said. “It’s not a sexual-assault case, it’s the har-
vest of a sheep.” Church has asked provincial court Judge Stella Frame to toss the Dall sheep charges based on delay. She has not yet ruled on that application. If convicted, Dougan could lose his B.C. guide licence and be banned from hunting in the province. Last August, he was convicted in the Yukon on charges that he wasted meat from sheep, caribou and moose

killed in 2011 and hunted too soon after being airborne. In that instance, Dougan led a Wyoming man on a hunt for stone sheep. The American hunter was fined $11,500 and
barred from hunting in the Yukon for 10 years. Dougan was ordered to pay $15,000 in fines and banned from hunting or guiding in the Yukon for 20 years.
You Do NOT Have Too Much Stomach Acid By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND
One of the most common prescriptions that we see in practice are medications designed to reduce or eliminate acid in the stomach in order to alleviate the symptoms of heartburn or gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the stomach is a naturally occurring acidic environment with specialized cells that are meant to live in these harsh conditions. The low pH in the stomach is required for the proper breakdown and absorption of foods and if this environment is altered it can lead to other issues with digestion. Heartburn occurs when the acid in the stomach moves into the esophagus causing burning pain or discomfort. A common misconception is that it is always excess amounts of acid which cause GERD, however it is much more common for heartburn to happen when there is a deficiency of acid in the stomach and I will explain why. Between the esophagus and the stomach is a muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that normally prevents acid from traveling between the stomach and esophagus. This muscle will only close properly when it detects sufficient amounts of acid in the stomach. Therefore, if the acid levels are below normal the LES remains open and whatever acid is present is then able to splash up into the esophagus causing heartburn. The medications mentioned above work at reducing these symptoms because they drastically decrease the amount of stomach acid so that it is almost non-existent. This eliminates the heartburn, but severely inhibits the body’s ability to properly digest foods. If your body is not breaking down food in the early stages of the digestive process this will have a negative impact on the rest of the system and you will not be able to absorb essential vitamins and minerals. Heartburn can be alleviated through simple dietary changes as well as by supporting digestion using herbs and supplements. The goal is to stimulate the body to produce an adequate amount of acid and other digestive enzymes in order to digest foods properly, reduce inflammation and absorb vital nutrients. Some examples of treatment options include Gentian, DGL and other slippery herbs and removal of food sensitivities. For more information on heartburn or any other digestive concerns please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
