Rift splits Kimberley Search and Rescue Kimberley Council in a bind as two groups vie to be sanctioned as new Kimberley Search and Rescue

C AROLYN GR ANT

The City of Kimberley is trying to decide what to do about Kimberley Search and Rescue. Coun. Kent Goodwin updated Council on the situation on Monday

evening. The Kimberley Search and Rescue Society was dissolved by the Province late last year, Goodwin said, for failing to provide proper documentation. “Two different groups

are incorporating to provide search and rescue,” he said. These groups are both made up of former, trained members of the previous Search and Rescue Society.

Council received a letter from one of the groups, which has incorporated as Kimberley Search and Rescue Society. In the letter, the new Society’s president, Pamela Nevlud, requested

access to search and rescue equipment. “It is our understanding that many of the vehicles and much of the equipment from the former SAR group may have been transferred

back to the City ownership upon dissolution,” Nevlud wrote. “We would like to assume stewardship of any facilities, vehicles and equipment that had been previously granted to the

former SAR group.” With two groups both vying to be Kimberley Search and Rescue, Council was at a loss as to what to do.

City talks budget Five-year-financial plan discussed

Cranbrook city council looked at parts of the five year financial plan on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The meeting was a continuation of the Jan. 14 meeting, in which council deferred most of the Carry Forward Items for the 2015 budget.

The Carry Forward Items are those projects that were budgeted for in 2014, but which were either not complete or partially complete. City staff separated each item to show at what stage of the process the project is at.

MADE EASY!

A number of options, including transfers and severance, are being pursued by the union representing workers who are affected by layoffs at the Canal Flats operation. According to the United Steelworkers Local 1-405, 81 jobs are affected after Canfor announced the layoffs last

week as the company moves from two shifts to one. “It’s devastating for the members and the families in the communities for sure. We’re working hard right now with Canfor to try and address all the issues and make sure we do everything we can,” said Doug Singer, president of the USW Local 1-405.

Chamber presentation will focus on airports A r n e P e t rys h e n

Next week the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce luncheon will centre around the Vancouver International Airport and how it relates to our region. The keynote speaker at the monthly luncheon for Chamber

members is Steve Michoulas from the Vancouver Airport Authority. David D. Hull, executive director at the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, said it is an opportunity to learn how YVR creates jobs, helps B.C. businesses

grow and connects Canada to global destinations. Michoulas will speak about the Vancouver Airport Authority embarking on a journey to connect B.C. to the world and how that relates to the Canadian Rockies International

Steelworkers respond to Canal Flats layoffs Continued from page 1 According to a Canfor corporate spokesperson, the available fibre supply in the region is not sufficient to support the processing capacity, which necessitates the reduction. Singer said the union knew the company was doing a fibre supply review but didn’t know what the outcome was going to be until the shift reduction was announced. “They’ve got the Radium and Elko operations where they’ve put a lot of money into, so they are using a lot more fibre in those mills than they’ve used in the past,” Singer said. The USW Local 1-405 president also lamented the exportation of raw logs outside B.C.

“It is very unfortunate that fibre supply and the increased cost of the new market based on stumpage system has resulted in the loss of this many members’ jobs,” Singer said. “We continued in the province of B.C. to allow massive amounts of log exports, although there are mills that do not have enough timber to run the operations to full capacity.” Canfor and the union began meeting last Friday to deal with issues such as severance, transfers, the impact on the employee’s pension, bumping and moving costs. A transition office has been established at the Canal Flats operation which will be staffed by management and union

members to assist employees with any information and assistance they require. All 81 employees affected by the layoffs will be offered other positions within Canfor, as per the announcement last week. While there will be opportunities to transfer to Radium and Elko operations, other positions will be open across the province. However, Singer doesn’t think there will be many local jobs available. “We don’t think it’s going to be huge, so it’s clearly not going to address the 81 layoffs,” Singer said. “That’s just in this local area; there is the opportunity for local employees to transfer to other divisions of Canfor.”

Airport (YXC). “Doing so requires a team effort from key communities including Cranbrook,” Michoulas said. “We want to share with the Cranbrook business community our vision and how it is advantageous for all of us to work together.” Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is Canada’s second-busiest airport, behind Toronto Pearson Interna-

tional Airport, and employs more than 24,000 people. It is a key economic generator for British Columbia. In 2014, YVR had more than 19 million people enter the airport, facilitated more than 273,212 take-offs and landings, and handled 256,935 tonnes of cargo. Currently, there are 10 flights a day to Vancouver from the Canadian Rockies Interna-

tional Airport, five direct and five indirect. Hull was excited to have Michoulas present to members. Hull said Michoulas has a compelling story of why Vancouver’s airport matters to all of B.C. “With all this activity at YVR, business in Cranbrook is bound to be impacted in some way,” Hull said. “Hearing directly from Steve Michoulas will help

you plan for the future.” The cost to members is $25 per person and seats need to be reserved by Monday, Feb. 16 through the Chamber office at info@cranbrookchamber.com or 250-4265914. The event is Wednesday, Feb. 18 at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort. Networking opportunity at 11:30 a.m. and lunch and speaker at 11:45 a.m.

Impaired driver hits door of Cranbrook 7-11 and flees F o r T h e To w n s m a n

Driver of a 1996 Yukon was caught and charged after committing a Hit and Run at the 7-11 on 2nd Street North in Cranbrook. Just after 2 a.m. on February 7, 2015, Cranbrook RCMP responded to a report of a Hit and Run at the 7-11 on 2nd Street North. A female driver was reported to have driven a 1996

GMC Yukon into the front door of the building. The female driver fled the scene shortly after the collision. General Duty Members of the Cranbrook Detachment responded immediately. The vehicle and driver were located a short distance away from 7-11. The female driver was believed to be impaired. The ensuing investigation ended with the driv-

er being served a 90 Day Driving Prohibition. Thankfully no one was injured in this collision. The Cranbrook RCMP would like to remind motorists of the dangers of drinking and driving. Please plan ahead and find a sober ride home as it isn’t just your life you risk when you drink and drive.

City talks budget See Friday’s Daily Townsman for details of the City of Cranbrook budget discussions Continued from page 1 “When we met last time it was all one schedule,” noted Charlotte Osborne, Director of Finance and Computer Services. She explained that this the items are separated into two schedules — one that includes projects the city is committed to, and the other that includes projects that have not yet been started. Mayor Lee Pratt asked that the $40,000 trail connection to the Prestige be removed from the items. “I know there is a possibility of a grant from the Ministry of Transportation, but there is also some problems with the culvert under the highway there which the Ministy of Transportation is looking at considerable expenditures there,” Pratt said. “Another thing is that creek from Elizabeth Lake to the highway is in desperate need of

a major cleanup.” Pratt said the funding is at a premium and he can’t see the justification of spending that $40,000 on a paved walkway path. Osborne said city staff would be bringing the final version of the Carry Forward Items to council in a March meeting. Council also looked over the 2015 Road Program, as well as the Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Fund and Airport Fund. City staff made lists of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for each item. The Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Cranbrook and District Arts Council was also on the schedule. Council decided to put off any decision until a later date.

Slopes for Hope cancelled For the TOWNSMAN

Liana Shaw said. “Unfortunately, we are the second Slopes for Hope event in the province that has had to postpone the event.” “Not reaching our fundraising target for this event means that many will be affected and may not have access to the services these funds support in our communities,” Shaw

Bad news for the Kimberley-born Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser, Slopes for Hope. The 2015 event has been postponed until the winter of 2016. “Due to variables that are beyond our control, we have experienced a sharp decrease in our enrollment and donations,” event chair

said. “Slopes for Hope itself is a fun way to support the Canadian Cancer Society, however, the real impact you make is in the funds you help raise that translate into saving lives and supporting those on a cancer journey. For this reason we very much hope that our registered participants continue to

reach out to their networks over the year and do their best to help meet our fundraising target for this event that is postponed until 2016. The website will remain open and tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 or more made online at slopesforhope.ca

Rift causes Search and Rescue split Continued from page 1

Nevlud said in an interview with the Bulletin that there were two groups looking to provide search and rescue services. “There is a bit of a rift and it has created two groups,” she said. “We’ve sent a letter to Emergen-

“Why are there two groups?” asked Coun. Bev Middlebrook. “Is there conflict?” “I think there might be,” Goodwin said. “Right now the group that has access to all the equipment is still going out on calls.”

cy Management BC (EMBC) and the BC Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) seeking certification. I don’t know if the other group has. As far as I know, all insurance under the former group was cancelled when the society dissolved. We contacted the insurance providers and were told you have to have EMBC sanction before you can get insurance. So until we are endorsed, there will be no practicing or call outs.”

Council has decided to seek guidance from Emergency Management BC, which governs search and rescue groups. “We don’t know which group EMBC will choose but we want them to make the decision, not us,” Goodwin said. “The City’s role has been as one of the funders,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “It’s EMBC’s call as to which group to sanction.”

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has gone back to its roots reverting to their original name. The board of directors unanimously passed a resolution at their February 11 board meeting to return to using the moniker Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce dropping the “and District”. Chamber President Dave Struthers commented that the change was a clear signal of a new year, with a new board and a renewed strategic plan. “We are going to put together a comprehensive communications plan which will include new branding and we wanted a crisp concise brand name.” Executive Director David D. Hull expounded in a report to the board that legally and technically the name of the organization has always been “Cranbrook

and easier to work with.” said Hull. “I am confident that everyone knows that the Chamber represents the entire business community in the Cranbrook economic zone regardless of geo political boundaries.”

With 500 members the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is the professional business organization of choice in the Cranbrook area representing the entire depth and breadth of the economy.”

Discounts bring out the ugliness

here is something that speaks to the ugliness of human nature in the well-publicized reaction of the general public to the discounts at Target’s liquidation event — about how displeased consumers are that those discounts aren’t to their liking. People are rushing to take advantage of the Target stores shutting down in Canada, looking for sudden rock bottom prices. When they find the discounts aren’t as low as they were expecting they become angry, and vent their spleens on the hapless store staff, who don’t even set the store prices, and who are only trying to make the public’s shopping experience as pleasant as possible. Here on display is the dark side of our consumer mentality, that we are excited to take advantage of the misfortunes of others — these staffers will be without jobs soon enough — and yet when the advantage isn’t as great as we were hoping, our reaction is to abuse those same people who will soon be unemployed. Stay classy, shoppers. I too wandered in to Target, looking for discounts. I bought some pants, some socks, at either 10 per cent off or 20 per cent off — I’ve forgotten. They are good pants, but I’ve bought pants at Target before, at regular prices. I bought a CD, and a frozen pizza, at a 20 per cent discount. I suppose I would have preferred to buy everything for a dollar apiece, but it didn’t occur to me to seek out a staffer and lose my stuff on him or her. In my mind’s eye I approach a young woman at the fitting rooms. “You know,” I say, trying to keep my voice from shaking with anger. “This 20 per cent isn’t really much of a deal. You’re going out of business after all.”

“I know, Sir,” she answers, looking unhappy, “but our prices are set by head office.” “You’re going to stand here,” I snap, getting angrier, “and tell me that 20 per cent off is a good deal — for going out of business! No wonder you’re going out of business!” “Sir, I don’t really know what to say to you at this particular second.” “Two for one!” I shout, flapping the pants at her. “The price should be two Barry pairs of pants for the price of one! Does that concept Coulter mean anything to you?” “As I said, Sir, the prices are set …” “And this frozen pizza!” I shout. “You think 20 per cent off is a good deal for a frozen pizza? A discount frozen pizza!” “Yes, Sir, 20 per cent off is an excellent deal for a frozen pizza!” The young woman is getting a bit angry herself. “I should pay one dollar! One dollar for this frozen pizza! You’re going out of business!” “At 20 per cent, Sir, you’re paying about three dollars for that frozen pizza” “At three dollars, it should be two for one! Two for one!” “Sir, you should take that frozen pizza and shove it up your …” My mind’s eye blinked before I could get to the end of that scene, but of course the staffer wouldn’t tell me where I could shove my frozen pizza, no matter how rude I was. It’s true, when you deal with the public for a living, you must maintain your poise and manners, even though the public feels entitled to be condescending and abusive. Speaking of which: What’s big, red, American and pulling out of Canada — besides Target?

The answer is: Redbox — the video rental terminals that have graced the floors of Canadian locations like Safeway. However, by the end of February, 2015, Redbox will have given up on their Canadian adventure. Why, oh why? Redbox itself answers — on a note posted on all Redboxes. In a nutshell: “Demand for Redbox services didn’t meet their expectations. They will be focussing their attention on their U.S. business, where demand for ‘physical media’ remains strong.” I feel jilted once again. Just like I bought my pants and socks at Target before liquidation, I also rented DVDs from Redbox. I love renting DVDs. I love physical media. I still buy vinyl LPs — how much more can you love physical media than that! I’ve written about this before — that the DVD had a career as technology only slightly longer than the 8-track tape (I used to buy that form of physical media too!). I love watching movies on DVD. But that era is now, officially, irrefutably over. Our movies, our music, all our media are coming out of the clouds. It’s all about the streaming now — Netflix, etc. So if I want to watch movies, I must subscribe to a streaming service. But that means, I need a new TV. My TV is almost 15 years old, and more obsolete than the Chevrolet El Camino car-truck. I haven’t had cable for almost all that time, and when I watch DVDs I have to pull the couch closer to my TV so I can see. A new TV? This could profoundly change my life in many ways. But where can I get a new TV for bargain prices? In my mind’s eye I approach the young fellow in the audio-visual department of the soon-to-be-closed Target. “Now see here,” I shout. “You call that 30 per cent a discount? “I’ll give you $50 bucks for that 52-inch flatscreen. You’re going out of business ain’tcha!”…

Opinion/Events

Although somewhat disappointing, it was positive to see how close the fluoride referendum was. I personally believe the vote was lost due to lack of awareness of the toxic effects of fluoride. Many believe that if they drink filtered water or bottled water, they are not affected by the toxic fluoride in our water system. Unfortunately, this is a false premise. Many do not know that we also absorb fluoride through our skin. When we shower, we absorb fluoride equivalent to that found in a glass of fluoridated water (althealthworks.com/2252/why-absorbing-fluoride-in-the-shower-i). Do you enjoy long baths? Bathe children or pets? Brush your teeth, wash or shave in bathroom sink? Cook or wash fruits and vegetables or drink from kitchen tap? Wash dishes or clothes, exposing yourself to remaining film of fluoride? Water your garden, lawn, or houseplants? Use a pool or hot tub? Take your children to city water parks or pool? Go out to enjoy our fine eating and drinking establishments and coffee shops? Have children who use public showers and restrooms in schools or sports centres? This is just a partial list of how we are accumulating toxic fluoride into our bodies on a daily basis. It was stated on the Cranbrook website, as well as by dentists at our information meeting prior to the referendum, that Health Canada approves Hydrofluosilicic acid for our water system and that

it is non toxic. That is misleading as Health Canada has no studies done on its toxicity. Are we being lied to? Or is it wanted ignorance? Fluoride is toxic to our immune system and endocrine system. I believe it is time to stop the forced medication (poisoning) of our water system.

Getting Results for B.C. Business F ebruary 16, 2015, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week. An opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province. This year, the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, along with all BC Chambers, are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers collectively bring to their business communities, to ensure B.C. is a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all citizens. This leadership delivers results. As a result of the B.C. Chambers’ vigorous advocacy the federal and provincial governments, working in partnership, were able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’s businesses: the launch of the Canada Job Grant in B.C. This program provides employers with the opportunity to apply for up $10,000 in training funds. The Canada Job Grant, funded by the Government of Canada and administered by the Province of B.C., is an innovative

cost-sharing program that helps employers offset the cost of training for new or current employees. Additional positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses in many areas include: Encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of govDavid D. ernment; Continuing to call for Hull solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and Encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development. The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, as active and engaged member of the BC Chamber of Commerce, joins Chambers throughout the province as part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry and sector specific issues. At the local level, Chambers throughout

Ice score five second-period goals for resounding win over Medicine Hat Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With a five-goal outburst in the second period, the Kootenay Ice cruised to a 6-3 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers Wednesday night at Western Financial Place. The win snapped a three-game losing skid for the Ice, moving the team into the first wildcard seed in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. “We just did the little things right by moving the puck and shooting the puck when we had chances,” said Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau following the win. “That’s all we did tonight -- was get pucks to the net. It created rebounds for us and other opportunities.” The heaviest damage came over a span of 1:39 in the second period as Rinat Valiev, Vince Loschiavo and Tim Bozon scored in quick succession to spur the hosts to a 4-1 lead. Loschiavo’s goal was of the rebound variety while Bozon’s game-winning marker came after the native of Valbonne, France, took a long stretch feed from Valiev before walking in alone and wiring a bigleague snap shot over the shoulder of Tigers goaltender Marek Langhamer. Ice captain Sam Reinhart put home his team’s fourth goal of the second period with a power-play marker before Descheneau cleaned up a rebound 45 seconds before the second intermission. Descheneau finished the night with a goal and an assist. The Edmonton native’s first-period helper on Levi Cable’s game-opening goal was the 150th assist of his WHL career. It’s the second significant milestone the St. Louis Blues prospect has hit in the past week, as he recorded the 250th point of his WHL career Feb. 6 against the Brandon Wheat Kings. “I didn’t know until now, actually, and I didn’t know I scored my 250th point until after that game either,” De-

scheneau said with a smile. “I don’t look at that stuff. The only time I know is when I look at my Twitter feed after [a game]. That’s about it.” The two teams combined for six goals in the middle period as Tigers forward Cole Sanford made it a 1-1 game 2:54 into the period with a power-play tally of his own. After surrendering six goals on 25 shots, Langhamer was relegated to the bench for the third period as Tigers backup goaltender Nick Schneider came on in relief. With so much second-period scoring, it might have been easy to forget Cable’s game-opening goal, which came a lightning-quick 59 seconds into regulation. Skating in his 250th-career WHL game, the native of Hudson Bay, Sask., marked the occasion with a re-

bound goal -- his 24th of the campaign. “It’s really good to have a win like this, a big win,” Cable said Wednesday night. “It’s always nice any game, but to get it in my 250th [game] is pretty nice as well.” Cable finished the night with a goal and two assists. The Tigers rounded out the scoring with a pair of third-period goals as Chad Butcher put home his 17th of the season and Markus Eisenschmid collected his 18th of the campaign. Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 31 stops for his 27th victory of the campaign. Though the Kootenay Ice deployed a full lineup on the ice Wednesday night, there was a noticeable figure missing from the team’s bench as head coach Ryan McGill missed the game due to illness. In his place, assistant

coach Jay Henderson took over the operations and was joined by “interim assistant coach” Tanner Faith, making his coaching debut, who recently rejoined the team after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. “I never expected [to be behind the bench] at all,” Faith said with a grin Wednesday night. “It was fun. It was a different perspective from sitting up in the press box or even playing. “We moved the puck really well and we started getting a lot of shots on net -- quality shots, pucks where we’ll actu- can continue to support ally get rebounds and his teammates and fill a we scored off a couple leadership role off the ice despite not being able to there.” Faith, a 2014 fifth- contribute on the ice as round pick of the NHL’s the team pursues an Conference Minnesota Wild, skated Eastern in 19 games with the Ice playoff spot.

Giants knock off Oil Kings in Vancouver STE VE E WEN Vancouver Province

The Vancouver Giants managed two goals on Tristan Jarry in the Edmonton Oil Kings netminder’s first five starts against them in his WHL career. On Wednesday, the Giants beat Jarry twice in 44 seconds and it propelled them to a win. Vladimir Bobylev’s goal on the shift after Carter Popoff’s marker midway through the second period stood up as the winner in a 3-1 Vancouver triumph over the Oil Kings at the Pacific Coliseum before a crowd of 5,124. The victory vaulted the Giants (23-29-1-2) past the idle Kamloops Blazers (21-29-3-3) and into third place in the WHL’s B.C. Division. Those two wildcard spots look destined for U.S. teams. The Giants are six points in back of the Tri-City Americans (26-26-0-3) for the second of the two spots. “I think we’ve been working better the last four games or so and I think we’re on track more and we’re playing better,” said Giants coach Claude Noel, whose team has three wins and one loss in that span. “We’re earning the wins. We’re battling for the wins. Nothing is easy for us, but we’re getting the job done. “I found that our group is together. They’re dug in. They’re pushing for every ounce of what we’ve got. “It (holding down a playoff position) does us a lot of good because we feel good about ourselves.” They likely weren’t too positive about their state after the first period Wednesday, and once again because of Jarry, a North Delta native who is a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect. Jarry stoned Vancouver Jakob Stukel twice on breakaways in that opening frame, and Edmonton (25-26-4-2), behind a Lane Bauer tally, carried a 1-0 lead into the intermission. Popoff, off a nifty feed from Thomas Foster on a mini 2-on-1, beat Jarry to the glove side at 7:33 of the middle stanza, and then Bobylev snapped one low stick side from the top of the circles at 8:17 to give Vancouver a 2-1 cushion.

Vancouver netminder Cody Porter was the better of the two goalies. The rookie finished with 31 saves. His best was probably at the 6:20 mark of the second, when he came out to cut down the angle and

Dynamiters-Thunder Cats first-round playoff series set Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With the Creston Valley Thunder Cats falling to the Fernie Ghostriders 4-3 on Tuesday evening, the Kimberley Dynamiters officially clinched second place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division. That sets up a firstround playoff match-up between the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats. Game One of the Dynamiters-Thunder Cats first-round series is slated for Feb. 20 at the Kimberley Civic Centre (7 p.m.). The Nitros and Thunder Cats have a

long-standing playoff rivalry, fuelled by a seven-game, second-round series last season that saw Creston Valley edge Kimberley in seven games.

After falling behind 3-1 in the 2013-14 second-round series with the Nitros, the Thunder Cats stormed back to win three consecutive games and take the series 4-3. Nitros goaltender

Tyson Brouwer took over the crease in Game 2, going 3-3. Up front, Eric Buckley, Jason Richter and Jared Marchi tallied two goals each. The seven-game war between the two Eddie Mountain Division rivals played out about as close as it could, with the Thunder Cats outscoring the Dynamiters 23-21 over the course of the series. Before getting too excited about post-season hockey, both the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats have two games remaining on their respective regular-season schedules. At 30-15-2-3 (65

points) the Dynamiters will finish second in the Eddie Mountain Division for the second consecutive season, regardless of what happens in the team’s final two

games of the season (Friday at Grand Forks, Sunday vs. Golden). At 27-17-1-5 (60 points), the Thunder Cats finish third in the Eddie Mountain Division, a year removed from claiming the divi-

sion title on the strength of a 39-11-1-1 record (80 points). The Thunder Cats wrap up their regular-season slate with a pair of home games against the Golden Rockets Friday and Saturday. The Fernie Ghostriders (35-11-1-2, 73 points) claimed the 2014-15 Eddie Mountain Division title and will face the fourthplace Golden Rockets in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs. The fifth-place Columbia Valley Rockies (11-32-0-6, 28 points) finish outside the playoff picture.

Blue Lake Centre offers Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership Program For the Townsman

With a lack of quality snow conditions in the region, snow oriented students may fear they will find themselves with little to do this spring break. Fortunately Blue Lake Centre is offering youth a final chance to embrace the fading winter season with their popular Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership program. Scheduled from March 15-22, this adventure program invites youth aged 14 to 18 to unplug and become a part of a tightly knit team of outdoor leaders while preparing for the challenge of a winter outdoor expedition. You don’t have to be an expert adventurer to participate. Students can expect to receive hand on winter outdoor training in cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trip preparation, winter safety, snow shelter building, and avalanche awareness skills. Equip-

Winter Outdoor Youth Leaders practice team building exercises at Blue Lake. ment rental is included. Youth will receive more than outdoor skills training. While participating in engaging workshops, students

will have the opportunity to develop essential leadership and teamwork skills. Lead by coordinator Nick Haberman, this newly updat-

ed program now also aspires to teach students practical career path development, community volunteerism, and will provide students with

the resources they need to continue their growth as future leaders in their home communities.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Coroner wants review of licensing program, deaths of young B.C. drivers CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA - A B.C. Coroners Service report is calling for a review of the province’s Graduated Licensing Program after the deaths of 106 young drivers. The report says most of the people who died between 2004 and 2013

were between 17 and 18 years old. It says fewer young drivers have died in the province since the program was introduced in 1998, but input from teens is needed to implement safe driving practices. Despite the drop in young driver deaths,

motor vehicle incidents remain the leading cause of death in B.C. for youth between 15 and 18 years. The report recommends increasing awareness about fatal crashes involving young drivers through enhanced data collection by the coroners

service and the Insurance Corp. of B.C. The licensing program involves a learner’s stage when drivers who pass a knowledge test must display an “L” sign on their vehicle, followed by a road test that leads to the novice stage and an “N” sign on vehicles.

B.C. to introduce legislation on worker safety C AN A D IA N PRESS

VICTORIA - The B.C. government is introducing legislation that would allow for the prosecution of negligent employers whose actions seriously injure or kill workers. Labour Minister Shirley Bond says the legislation she will table this afternoon will allow for on-the-spot penal-

ties and is based on recommendations in a report looking into two separate sawmill explosions that killed four workers in 2012. WorkSafeBC administrator Gord Macatee says the bill provides exactly what he intended in the report he forwarded to the government last July. He says staff have re-

ceived training involving searches and seizures, warrants and forensic interviewing and that a second team will take over when there’s the potential for liability involving workplace incidents. The Crown declined to approve charges against Babine Forest Products in Burns Lake and Lakeland Mills in

Welcome to BC, Alberta Family Day travellers Family Day is not a national statutory holiday, it is only observed in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and in British Columbia. Two other provinces have holidays in February: In PEI Islander Day is celebrated on the 3rd Monday in February and in Manitoba the 3rd Monday in February is the Louis Riel Day holiday. Since this is not a federally established holiday all federal workers work on Family day including post office employees and public servants. Family Day was originally created to give people time to spend with their families but it also provides a day off between New Years Day and Good Friday as they are approximately three months apart. As mentioned above, unfortunately, not everyone gets Family Day off, which makes it a debatable holiday in many provinces. Why can’t the whole country simple agree on 9 or 10 common statutory holidays remains a mystery and a good indicator of just how overcomplicated our laws are. Common Family Day activities include

skating, playing hockey, snowboarding/skiing and going to various winter festivals. But the best best thing about of

Family Day must be beaver tails and stuffing ourselves silly with pancakes with maple syrup!

Celebrating Family In Business Patricia & Jennifer carry on Mike’s favourite restaurant ABC COUNTRY RESTAURANT PROFILE Founding Family Member: It was Mike Newell’s favourite restaurant. When he realized it was for sale 17 years ago, he wanted to buy it because he didn’t want it to change. After an accepted offer, on a napkin, he was the owner ever since. Now his wife runs the restaurant on her own since Mike’s passing in 2010. The Family Philosophy: Treat people how you would like to be treated. Be sure to present a warm, friendly atmosphere for your customers to enjoy a nice meal in. Always treat staff like family. They are an extremely important part of a restaurants success. The Working Family: Patricia’s daughter, Jennifer Bird, has moved back from Vancouver Island and is now the Manager. We also have staff that have worked for ABC for 20+ years. This is our extended family. It’s truly a blessing. Family Reward: Family understands each other on all levels of business and life. It is always nice to have that support.

FACTS You Need to Know About…

Mount Polley Independent Expert Panel Findings With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

On January 30, the independent panel appointed to investigate the cause of the Mount Polley tailings storage facility failure announced its conclusion that the dam failed because its original design did not account for a layer of complex glacio-lacustrine soil underneath the dam. This layer became overstressed, causing the dam to collapse.

Ask Wendy: Concern for relatives Hi Wendy: I would like to know if my daughter will do better in the town she is relocating to? She feels she will be a lot happier in this new town. I have always been so afraid of fire do you see any mishaps happening in my life with fires? Feeling All Aflame Dear Feeling All Aflame: I asked my guides these few questions for you and this is what I have discovered: Q. Will her daughter be happier relocating to the new town in which she is working in 2015? A. No

Q. Will she be moving to where her daughter has relocated in 2015? A. No Q. Will she have any fire mishaps in or around her apartment in 2015? A. No Q. Will her daughter have any mishaps with fire in 2015? A. No We do not see you having any problems with your fear of fire in 2015. However, I cannot answer if you will have any problems with fire on this plane in this lifetime. If you wish to email us again next year we could do a five-year “spec” for you.

Government will act on the recommendations of the independent panel to ensure a similar failure never happens again, starting with a letter to all operating mines to conﬁrm whether similar soils exist underneath their dams and if so what measures have been taken to ensure their design accounts for those conditions.

Government will also make Independent Tailings Dam Review Boards mandatory, as recommended by the panel and will initiate a code review to determine how to best implement the panel’s remaining recommend

because the accuracy is greater and more precise. Wendy Hello Wendy: I would like to ask you if my mother blames me for her death?

to know when he’s around. I was hospitalized and had a few complications when I was pregnant and I would like to know if he was around me at that time? Feeling Enriched Dear Feeling Enriched: I asked my guides the questions you wished them to a Q. Was her grandfather with her when she went into the hospital because of the complications she was having with one of her pregnancies? A. Yes Q. Can you tell me or show me where her grandfather goes in the house when he is visiting her? A. He goes into the female child’s room quite a bit. When she is restless and has trouble sleeping he is there to help soothe her nerves. He usually comes down when all the children are playing together. Or when they are all together in one room. Then he travels over to his yard where he once lived. He really liked his back yard when he was on this plane. The difference between angels and guides is quite simple. Guides do exactly as they are named they guide you on this plane. For example: If you are asked to do something and you get this “gut” feeling that you should not do it that is your guide guiding you to make the right decision for you. Guides have been human and when they go home or to heaven they choose to orientate themselves on helping

and guiding others on this plane. Angels have never been human they are directly descended from God. They help you with emotional, physical and spiritual healing on this plane. For example: If you are in a sad situation or place and all of a sudden you feel like laughing or you get the giggles. You think to yourself logically this is not right that I have these emotions. These are your joy angels coming to help you in your time of grief or overwhelming feelings of sadness and trauma. I could write pages and pages on angels and guides; unfortunately not enough room in this column to do so. If you wish I can give you an exercise on how to meet your guides and your guardian angel. I am also giving angel classes this summer and fall and angel prayer sessions where we pray for others and ourselves. All the people that joined this prayer class last year now see the angels as they come down to help us and others that need help. If you are interested in the angel prayer classes and wish to get educated in depth on the different angels and guides and how they can help you on this plane give me a call or email.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

1904 REALLY! … That remark of ours about the hand painted hosiery has aroused a lot of curiosity, and is liable to raise some trouble. The modest editor of the Moyie Leader is excited over the matter and rushes to the front with the following inquiry: “Fred Simpson, of the Herald, says that “A certain lady in Cranbrook is wearing hand painted hosiery.” Now, will the “Old Man” please rise and explain how he knows this to be a fact. The editor of the Leader has lived in Moyie six long years and yet he does not know the kind of hosiery worn by a single lady in town. Does the wind blow harder in Cranbrook than it does in Moyie, or is the “Old Man” merely guessing at the facts of the case?” We didn’t say the wearer of the hand painted hosiery was a single lady, Mr. Smyth. GIRLS NEEDED … There is room for a car load of new girls in this town. The proportion between the number of men and the number of young ladies is growing distressing. There are plenty of damsels in the eastern provinces who have no possible escape from old maidhood and corkscrew curls, if they remain in that country, but who could soon be transformed into the sunshine of some man’s home if they came out to the far famed banana belt of South East Kootenay. THE NEW BREWERY ... The Cranbrook brewery project that has laid dormant since the unfortunate death of Mr. Band, has been revised and is now an assured fact. Fred Giller, formerly of Milwaukee, is in charge, and has a dozen men employed on the new buildings. Mr. Giller is a brewer of long experience, and possesses the business capacity to make the move a success. LEAP YEAR SUCCESS … Cranbrook ladies are already taking advantage of leap year privileges. Tuesday evening a number of helpless young men were taken sleigh riding by an equal number of kindhearted damsels. The girls are setting an example for the boys that is worthy of emulation. 1905 PITY THE FIREMAN … One night last week, one of the cold nights when the thermometer was down to about 25 degrees below zero, the members of the fire brigade went out and tested every hydrant in the town. It was not a snap by any means with the water freezing wherever it struck the clothing, with the hands and feet benumbed by the intense cold, but the boys did it simply to insure action of the hydrants in case of fire. That same night there were several hundred people in this town sitting by warm fires and saying that it would be an awful night to be out. That is the kind of a fire brigade that Cranbrook possesses, and the members do not get one cent for their work. The people of this town should appreciate the sacrifices the fire boys are making to protect the property of the town. Those who are not members of the brigade should do everything in their power to assist the organization and encourage the members in the good work they are doing. Come up with your money and your words of kindness, but be sure and play strong on the former proposition. CRANBROOK COTTAGE HOSPITAL … Miss Thomas, Superintendent, Graduate London Hospital, England and Sloane-Maternity Hospital New York. Members yearly $10, covering board and nursing in semi-private ward. Contract half yearly $5: Contract monthly $1: Private ward $20 per week, covering board and nursing. Semi-private ward $14 per week. Maternity Work a Specialty. 1906 A BIG BANQUET … a meeting of the Associate Boards of Trade closed with banquet at Cranbrook

Hotel. The last hour of the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade Thursday afternoon was a busy one, but the work was completed in good shape and an adjournment taken. It was about ten o’clock when the guests filed into the dining room of the Cranbrook Hotel, and all were pleased with the scene presented, the tables were beautifully decorated with palms and potted plants, while the glistening silver and gleaming glassware caught the rays of the many incandescent electric lights and reflected them again like the fountain of sparkling light in the center of the room and between the tables was the piano almost hidden from view by the drooping leaves of monster palms. GOOD HARVEST … The ice harvest has been abundant the past week and now the supply in Cranbrook is ample. GYMNASIUM … The gymnasium is getting along nicely and the attendance is large enough to attest the great popularity of the institution. ST. EUGENE IS A WORLD BEATER ... The year’s progress at the St. Eugene mine may be forcibly told in but few words, says the B. C. Mining Record. Ore milled, 130,000 tons; lead produced, 40,000,000 lbs.; silver produced, 1,000,000 oz. Of the ore and concentrates produced 11,708 tons were shipped to Europe, and the remainder to the smelters at Nelson and Trail. The average of the metal contents was silver 34 oz. per ton and lead 67 per cent. Development work consisted of 2,029 lin. ft. of sinking and raising and 5,714 ft. of crosscutting and drifting, making a total of 7,773 lin. ft., and bringing the aggregate footage of development in the mine up to about 42,000 ft. or 8 miles. GET THE LATEST … style and grace in rubber footwear. Maple Leaf City Rubbers are made over foot form lasts that follow exactly the new shoe models. They are the acme of perfection in stylish rubber footwear. Ladies ask your dealer to show you the new “Calve” and “Melba” designs with Cuban heels, or the new “Lily” and “Rose” models for French heels. They are just a bit more graceful and chic than anything you have seen before. J. LECKIE CO., LTD HIDDEN FROM VIEW … Clarence Darling is going around with his face hidden from view as much as possible. He says that it was a collision between himself and a barb wire fence while skating that is the cause of his mutilated features. EXCELLENT FINDS … Harry Melton is in town after a siege in the hills for three months. Harry had a bunch of specimens that would drive a man crazy and create a stampede in Nevada. They were of copper, gold and silver and were beauties. Harry was mysterious as to their origin and refused to give any information. MORE BUILDING … When the city council get all the sidewalks built that they have planned it will be a pleasure for people to get around the city in any kind of weather.

1907 YOUNG MAN GET MARRIED … Scores of young men are wasting the best years of their life by putting off their wedding day because they haven’t got the price. Young Man, Get Married. We’ll stand by you. We’ll pull you through the hardest part of the newly married road - that of furnishing a home fit to live in - fit for her. We are not afraid to take chances on you. We make a specialty of furnishing homes for beginners in housekeeping, and there are special concessions to newly-married couples. If you are earning enough to spare a few dollars each month - Get Married. Come to us. Bring her. Pick out what you want to fix up the little home. Then we will astonish you when we inform you how little it will cost, and how little we will ask you to pay each month. You furnish the girl; we furnish the home.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll have a strong sense of where a partner is coming from. Once you engage in a conversation, you might feel as if this person is too set in his or her ways for you to continue down the same path. On some level, you might feel locked. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others seek you out in the morning, and you might feel overwhelmed. Decide whom you want to spend your time with, and go about making it happen. Know when to establish stronger boundaries. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making weekend plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll seek out others as you attempt to get a better grasp on a situation. You could get a lot of information, but you still might feel as if someone close to you is not revealing everything he or she knows. Find out why. Tonight: An older person triggers many thoughts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Prepare to do what you want, but expect to get some impromptu questions and demands. Stay steady, and figure out where you want to focus your energy. Recognize your limits. You might need to say“no”to someone you can’t help. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to give in to your fun yet spontaneous personality. Perhaps you are not as sure of yourself as you would like to be when dealing with a loved one. You seem to be withdrawn. Relax, and know that you are well cared for. Tonight: A friend inspires you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to understand what is happening with someone who is instrumental in helping you maintain your well-being. This person might be depressed or holding back. Make a point of finding out what is going on with him or her. Tonight: Make it easy, and order in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be somewhat withdrawn as you see what goes on around you. Someone with whom

Tundra

you need to speak also might seem distant. Don’t push too hard; let this person have some space. Schedule a massage or join a yoga class. Tonight: Catch up on emails. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to straighten out a money issue before it becomes unmanageable. You know what is possible and what you desire from a situation. Convincing someone who is involved in your finances could be a different story. Tonight: Let your imagination speak. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be pushing someone away without realizing how you are coming off. Get feedback from several people who know you well. Try to eliminate whatever seems to be holding you back. Tonight: Respond to an offer that is too good to be true. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to maintain better contact with friends and loved ones. There could be some confusion or a misunderstanding about plans. You might want to confirm meetings, plans and anything of significance; you will be a lot happier as a result. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be taken aback by a meeting or get-together with a friend. Work on being positive about a long-term goal. Your endurance will count. Understand that you might not get there overnight, but your goal is achievable. Tonight: Be spontaneous. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could have a difficult time listening to a boss or parent. Your mind seems to be drifting from one interest to another. Be aware of your limits when dealing with others. Leave any difficult or demanding situation for a different day. Tonight: Do what you want.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 53 years old and have been with my boyfriend for four years. The first year was awesome. We would hug and kiss hello and goodbye, and often say “I love you.” Now? Nothing. We don’t touch at all. I am so unhappy. We have sex once a month and only when he wants it. During sex, there is no kissing or embracing. When I talk to him about this, he becomes angry and says I live in a fantasy world and have unrealistic expectations. He says he is not going to crawl all over me. He then says he loves me very much. It’s not that I want sex all the time, but a little affection would be nice. Other than this, things are good. We get along well and support each other. I just wish it could be like our first year. I don’t want to start all over with someone else, but lately I’m asking myself, “Should I stay or should I go?” -- Ursula Dear Ursula: Embracing and kissing during lovemaking is normal. Please ask your boyfriend to see his doctor to check out any hormonal problems that could possibly be resolved. If he refuses to go and will not discuss it with you, you must decide how important physical affection is, because he isn’t likely to provide it. Dear Annie: I was born in the middle of the baby boom generation. My dad was a Pearl Harbor veteran. There were hundreds of heroic acts performed that day, and one of them involved a friend of my father’s, whose destroyer took a direct hit. Even with severe injuries, he lowered himself into the harbor and dog-paddled out to keep an unconscious seaman alive until help could reach them. That day, my dad decided that if he had a son, he would name him after this friend, whose name was Richard. The common nickname is “Dick,” which brings me to the reason for this letter. Seventy-five years ago, Dick was a common name, but not so much today. For years, I have put up with people making lewd comments about my name. At 6-foot3, I can get in anyone’s face if I choose, and that usually ends the matter. But I don’t want to do that. Instead, I’d appreciate it if you could provide a concise response that leaves little room for additional interaction with marginally literate people. -- Richard Dear Richard: We are not miracle workers. The Beavis and Butt-Heads of the world will continue to snicker at your nickname because they never matured past adolescence. We favor the world-weary sigh, along with ignoring them. An eye roll is optional. You also could introduce yourself as “Rick” or “Rich,” both common nicknames for Richard that will elicit fewer asinine reactions. But we will open the floor to our readers, who are sure to come up with a greater variety of responses. (Please keep them printable, folks.) Dear Annie: You recently printed a letter from “Wish We Knew,” and in your response, you mentioned symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Sometimes those same symptoms can indicate other conditions. My 83-year-old mother started twitching, shaking, feeling nervous, having trouble sleeping and becoming dizzy. When her ankles began to swell from fluid buildup, she was finally diagnosed with a very high CO2 level. She had been on oxygen for years, and even her lung doctor missed the signs, including rapid breathing. He thought she needed more oxygen, but in fact, the problem was too much. The only way to test for a buildup of carbon dioxide is with a special blood gas test. This is a treatable condition. Anyone with these symptoms, especially those on oxygen, should ask their doctor not only about Parkinson’s, but also about CO2 levels. -- Joan in Louisiana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The living value of traditions ANASTASIA BARTLE T T

raditions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we all have them, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just passed through the season when many of our family traditions are out in full force. Traditions can add to the enjoyment of a family get-together or they can complicate it or, in some cases, ruin it. Are things not being done the right way, the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done it? If a premixed stove-top stuffing is served instead of Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade-from-s cratch-whichweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve-had-every-Christmas-forthe-past-40-years stuffing, does the dinner not taste as good? Traditions should always enhance an experience, not control it. Traditions should only serve as guidelines for the necessary behaviour in achieving a goal. In the Old Testament, God gave detailed directions for worship. These became traditions but as legalism crept in, these forms of worship became the goal itself instead of being used as a way of drawing closer God. When I became Orthodox, I realized the traditions of the Orthodox Church ensured the truth of the church remained unchanging from generation to generation. Traditions can protect the faith from heresy. The problem results when the traditions are passed on without understanding or knowledge. Then they become dead traditions when the answer to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done it this wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Traditions can teach and explain, bringing the mystery of the unexplainable into the realms of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sort of understandableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. After all, we were made to be curious and with free will, so God will not get upset when we question things, it shows we are learning.

Orthodox icon of Christ We can find the answers from the early church fathers, our priests, teachers and other members in the church. Traditions stay alive when we know what everything means, why do we do what we do, why are we baptized, why does the priest wear those clothes, why do we kiss icons, why do we fast, why do we confess, why do we prostrate? Not one of these behaviours is salvific in of of itself, but each is designed to bring us closer to salvation, keeping in mind I can perform every step of a ritual religiously multiple times a week for years, but if there is no change in my heart then the ritual is worthless to me. Ultimately, I do all these things because each ritual, each tradition can bring me closer to Him and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I want to be; close to Him, the source of all power, strength and love. Only when I am close to God will I begin to see the miracles I yearn for, the blind shall see, the lame shall walk and the dead will be raised. But I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it alone. Everything that I do in order to

get closer to God needs to be done in community, with other people, other sinners, people who are also wanting to get closer to God. This is the church, a community of sinners welcoming other sinners to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come and seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A community with traditions designed to help the seeker find and walk the narrow path by communing with others. God no longer walks this world as the incarnate Jesus Christ; rather He walks among us in the friends, relatives, neighbours, strangers and enemies we meet every day. So if I want to draw closer to God, then I have to learn to love my neighbour, not just the ones I like, but also the ones who let their dogs mess my lawn, the ones who vote differently, the ones who live a different lifestyle, those who believe differently, and the ones who sleep in the alley behind my place after vomiting all over my sidewalk. Loving them and knowing each one is valuable in the eyes of God and treating them accordingly, this is what will draw me closer to God. Immersing myself in and following the traditions of the church will help me do that. Traditions teach me about God and the faith. Traditions can help me overcome sin in my own life, keep me on track and keep me in spiritual shape. Traditions can guide my behaviour towards others both within the church and without. But best of all, Tradition can lead me into community with others, all of creation and, ultimately, with God.
