Seeking support for refugees Group looking to sponsor Syrian refugees to hold meeting Thursday C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Last week Premier Christy Clark said that B.C. was prepared to take in 3,500 refugees from Syria and Iraq. “The federal government has asked us to welcome 3,500 refugees as part of this, and we’ve said yes, we think we can do that,” Clark said Wednesday. “Our job in British Columbia is to welcome them, and to make sure that we as communities and a province do everything that we can to make sure that they get the best possible start, so those refugees can start contributing to our society and be a part of our society, because that’s
what they want. And that’s what we need.” Some of those refugees could be coming to Kimberley. A meeting will be held this Thursday morning at 10 a.m. at the Kimberley Public Library (upstairs) to gather support for sponsoring Syrian refugees. Peggy Frederikse says the group is small right now, but is hoping there is community support out there. “We have the backing of the five Kimberley churches who will be assisting with sponsoring. We don’t know the exact numbers yet but it’s possible two families.” The process has begun, Frederikse says, they are talking to all levels of government and looking at the paperwork involved, looking for housing and raising funds. But it’s a big task and they are hoping for more help. She also realizes that
there is a great deal of fear involved in the refugee issue, but she hopes compassion rules. “I understand people have fears. That’s why we’d like to see an indication of support. We’re hoping people will realize that these refugees are coming from a camp, where they’ve been for years. There’s no fear involved here, this is hugely humanitarian. Fear shouldn’t be there.” If you’d like more information, please call Peggy at 705-787-8252. Premier Clark said the number, timing and security screening of refugee claimants is up to Ottawa. ‘I accept their assurances that they can do a very rigorous screening process for everyone that we’re welcoming into the country in the time that they’ve set out for it,” Clark said.

Logging trucks will be coming down 4th Avenue this winter — 130 loads — but they will be paying for the privilege. City CAO Scott Sommerville says that a price of $56 per load has been agreed upon. That amount will be reviewed before being incorporated into a bylaw. Kimberley City Council had a lengthy discussion at their last regular meeting about logging trucks coming down 4th Avenue. At the end of the discussion, staff was given a mandate by Council to hammer out a deal with BC Timber Sales, who have two cutblocks on the market in the Mark Creek watershed. Council was worried about what the trucks would do to the surface of 4th Avenue, one of the major routes in
Kimberley. With budgets tight and many of Kimberley’s streets requiring attention, there was little appetite for what BC Timber Sales was initially offering, which was monitoring road conditions, abiding by load restrictions, safety briefings with the licensee and providing signage for safety. Council at the very least wanted a deposit against possible damage, but some, such as Darryl Oakley argued that wasn’t good enough. He said in all likelihood the deposit would already be returned before damage was even discovered after the spring thaw. BC Timber Sales had argued that 4th Avenue had a long history with industrial traffic with the Sullivan Mine, but it was pointed out to them by Council that Cominco was paying over a million dollars in taxes at the time.

Living With Cerebral Palsy
‘Just Think, I Could Have Been Normal’ N George Kruse
ova Bannatyne-Eng has cerebral palsy (CP). She was born and raised in Kimberley, and she has just signed a contract to publish her book, ‘Just Think, I Could Have Been Normal’. Nova was one of the first students with a significant disability to be integrated into and graduate from public school in B.C. Just Think, I Could Have Been Normal is Nova’s story about growing up with CP and, in particular, her challenges and triumphs. It begins with her first memories – of being different from other children in Kimberley – and ends with her high school graduation in 1976. Her book is also about how various people helped her along the way. In the opening chapter, four-year-old Nova spends a traumatic summer at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver away from her family. Other challenges she faces in the first and ensuing chapters include: coping with teasing and bullying; being misunderstood; fighting prejudice; experiencing convulsions; acting as the
test case for a delicate operation; and coping with family discord. She was closest to her second oldest sister, Jeannie, and in a particularly poignant chapter, Jeannie is killed in a car accident. Time after time throughout the story, Nova copes and carries on in spite of the challenges she faces. Furthermore, she experiences many triumphant moments, which include: learning to eat, drink, walk, speak and write independently; leaving a school for mentally disabled children for a regular school; welcoming romance; adopting a dog; dancing; learning to ski; learning to ride a bike; swimming; standing as matron of honour; and working as a playground supervisor. Nova is the star of this story, however there is a large supporting cast. Her family is instrumental in her development: her father’s, mother’s and three older sisters’ unconditional love fuels her fight to lead a normal life. Other key individuals who champion Nova’s cause are caring friends and teachers, especially Mrs. Ellen Ba-

able life. For example, Jack Webster, the famous Canadian journalist who helped pioneer the radio talk show genre, is featured in the Epilogue. He interviewed a seemingly unemployable Nova on Vancouver’s CJRO radio in 1977. Subsequently, Webster helped Nova land her first job. They became good friends and a few years later, when Webster moved his talk show to BCTV, Nova was one of his first television guests. In the year 2000, just after Jack Webster’s death, Nova was profiled on BCTV news, which

During the field-testing of Nova’s book, listeners and readers did not want Nova’s story to end, asking, “But what happened after she graduated from high school?” The Epilogue of Just Think, I Could Have Been Normal addresses this question with many photos and anecdotes, and it demonstrates that if Nova had been born without CP and had been “normal,” she would never have experienced such a remark-

Thin Ice Forming; Please Use Caution Around Water The ice is just beginning to form on both lakes at Idlewild Park and Elizabeth Lake, Joseph Creek and other local water bodies in and around the City. Thin ice creates many dangers for children who are unaware. Parents are asked to please talk to your children about the dangers and to stay off the ice until it is six inches thick. This year due to the fluctuating water levels at Idlewild, the lake will remain closed to the public for the entire season. Signs will be in place throughout the winter months asking people to please stay off the ice. Public Works will be installing outdoor ice surfaces at Baker Park and also at Pop Price Park this year as soon as the temperatures allow.
admire her strengths and be inspired by her courage. Nova, your book shows all the struggles and prejudices you and people with CP deal with every minute of your lives. It takes real courage to get past all that. Good for you!!!! I enjoyed reading your book and have a lot of respect for you! Nova I too enjoyed reading your book and yes it did show all the struggles you endured during your younger years. I saw it and protected you from some of those bullies that poked fun at you. As you grew older you learned how to ignore those people and a lot of those people grew to know the real you as I knew you. I loved the book!! I really enjoyed your book Nova, and I found it quite emotional and it brought back many memories of yesterday. Anyone who reads it will soon realize the amazing determination and strengths you possess that can be attributed to all the success you have achieved, through all the years of bullying. Let’s hope that it sends out a message to everyone that bullying should never be tolerated.

Black touts ‘safer’ oil-byrail plan for refinery
‘Dead’ pipeline prompts plan B to move bitumen Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. oil refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline – he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead. The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Wednesday at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker – virtually solid – compared to the diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the beginning and end of each rail trip to make it flow for loading and unloading from tanker cars. Black argues it would be unlikely to leak or burn if a train derailed. “It’s safer and way easier,” he said, estimating six trains a day would run every four hours. Black continues to pursue environmental
David Black approvals, and believes that with green lights from regulators and first nations, oil shippers and financiers will come on board. But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different first nations, he said, but they’re less suitable.
Black also criticized the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,” he said, adding the province “rolled over” in guaranteeing generous tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. “I just don’t think there’s much chance,” Black said. “The LNG dream is now fading.”
Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream. He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option for reaching lucrative Pacific markets increasingly attractive to oil firms grappling with narrowing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. Black maintains a refinery can’t be built in Alberta itself because of opposition from multinational oil firms that own Texas refineries, and because the large prefabricated modules that can be assembled on the B.C. coast can’t be hauled inland. His proposal would use an unusual technology – adding $5 billion to the costs – that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world” would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen and forge a political solution for Canada’s energy policy makers. “It cleans the whole industry up,” Black said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business any more. We get huge value add. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.”

Rebranding with the refugee issue
B
MICHAEL DEN TANDT
attered and bruised, and facing the imminent rollback of much of its legislative agenda of the past 10 years, the Conservative party has a sterling opportunity to reclaim some precious moral high ground. Tentative toes have been dipped in these waters. What remains is for a leading figure of the party — a potential future leader, say — to dive in headlong. Such a plunge would begin with the acceptance of this premise: Not everything Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does is wrong. In particular, the Liberal government’s professed determination to help refugees from the Syrian war is absolutely right. It is in harmony with Canadian values and traditional Conservative values. It is in keeping with the will of the people, as expressed in the recent federal election that turned to a significant degree on issues of pluralism, inclusiveness and, yes, refugees. It is a project that must have engagement across the political spectrum, at all levels of government, if it is to succeed. The Conservative caucus can play a constructive role in this, while exercising its obligation to act as a check on the cabinet. The tragic picture of little Alan Kurdi, dead on a Turkish beach, has faded somewhat from the public mind. It’s been replaced by images of the Paris attacks, during which faux-religious sociopaths killed 129 innocents. The previous day, they killed 43 in Beirut; days before that, 224 on a Russian airliner. Meantime the Syrian refugee crisis threatens the cohesion, and thus the security, of a borderless Europe. It’s no wonder many are rattled. The nightmare scenario — terrorists slip onto a refugee transport bound for Canada and
unleash their terror on Calgary, Toronto, Quebec City or Vancouver — is on everyone’s mind, whether acknowledged or not. It is not racist to worry. Nor is it xenophobic to seek instinctively to protect those nearest and dearest when danger looms. It’s human nature. Leadership, though, requires that people rise beyond first instincts and quick reactions, to apply reason and compassion, toughness and wisdom. This country appears blessed with more than its share of strong leaders, in this regard: municipal and community heads continue to step up to help with refugee settlement, initial emotional public reactions to Paris notwithstanding. For the truth is that conflating Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists with Syrian refugees does not bear scrutiny. It is belied by the fact that most of ISIL’s victims are Muslim; that the refugees Canada seeks to rescue are already in camps administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and have been for years; that the Paris terrorists held European Union passports, and thus could presumably have entered Canada simply by getting on a plane, had they wished to; and that the attacks in Canada last October were carried out by homegrown ISIL wannabes. The refugee selection process is believed to be geared toward helping families with young children. Moreover, the security services are carrying out checks on every potential refugee. Is this an iron-clad guarantee of perfect security? No. The reality is there is no such thing. The so-called Islamic State has declared war on civilization and civilization must be open in order to remain itself. Until ISIL’s medievalist, savage, lunatic interpretation of Islam is defeated and its
safe harbours in Iraq and Syria destroyed to the last brick, and even beyond, there will be no reducing the risk of terrorist attack to zero. Indeed, living free requires the bearing of some basic level of risk — unless we plan to stop going to hockey games, restaurants and rock concerts — just as pluralism in a wealthy democracy requires a hand extended to the dispossessed in their hour of greatest need. To repeat, this is a Conservative value. It was a Conservative prime minister, Brian Mulroney, who led the Commonwealth countries in opposing apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s. The decision by Stephen Harper’s strategists to walk away from their party’s long tradition of pluralism, especially in the recent campaign with its niqab-baiting and barbaric practices tip line, figured significantly in its defeat. This isn’t to say it isn’t legitimate for Conservative leaders to question the necessity for an arbitrary Dec. 31 deadline, as interim Tory leader Rona Ambrose and Toronto Mayor John Tory have done, sensibly. But that message can take two forms. The first says slow down, because this whole refugee venture is a bad idea in the wake of Paris. The second says slow down, if you see the need, to ensure it’s done properly — and no one will accuse you of being a promise-breaker. That second path can begin to re-brand Canadian Conservatism, never mind marginal tweaks over tone. It remains to be seen if any of the party’s grandees have an appetite for such bipartisan madness. It is a torch waiting to be seized. Michael Den Tandt is a columnist with the National Post

Bull River Shooters end the year in style B r a d le y Woods
Our final Silhouette rifle match for 2015 was held on a very rainy Saturday November 14 at our range near Ft Steele. Sixteen shooters had a great time at our fun shoot. It is not shot like a normal match; targets are swapped around and the shooting instructions are messed with to give us a fun and humbling experience. Shooters are randomly put in teams and try for bragging rights. As an example, at one distance we shot freehand as usual but from our opposite side with the opposite eye! And the 40 metre target, the body of which is about the size of a toonie, is put out at 100m! We enjoy getting together and this day is good for a lot of laughs and embarrassing moments. This year “The Drillers” won the trophy; members were: Rocky Marsh, Rick Fraser, Bill Johnson and Jessica Woods. After a second match called a “Bandito,” which is a challenging speed relay, we all met up for a fancy feast at Franks Steak and Schnitzel House. During the evening’s festivities awards are presented for the year’s accomplishment. Club president Rick Fraser reminded us all of the great support and participation the club receives from many members. These efforts are large and small but when taken as a whole we realize why our club is one of the best in North America. Top Gun for 2015 is Kalvin Marsh, who at 18 years of age has astounded the shooting community with his meteoric rise. Kalvin took many honours at matches this year and is even a national champion, competing against adults. Top Senior is Rocky Marsh who also had top score in our fun shoot! Top Lady is Trudy Phillips for the second year in a row. Top Junior is Justin Marsh and Most Improved is Jordan Marsh. A very special award is given each year. Called The Above and Beyond award, it recognizes a person who has gone out of their way to make the club a better place for all members. This year Rosemary Sherret was recognized for all she has done as our Secretary/ Treasurer. This difficult job was new to her as she stepped in for the outgoing Secretary/ Treasurer who held the job for several years. Rosemary’s learning curve was huge but she did not shy away from the duties. We are proud and appreciative of Rosemary and thank her for all she has done. I’d like to share results from our October 24th and 25th matches. This was our final regular match of the year: Saturday October 24 Small Bore Standard Rifle: • Match Winner – Kalvin Marsh • AAA – Jason Marsh (win-

Needless to say, hitting a target is an exciting and pleasing result! Silhouette shooting is spectator friendly… when the target is hit it often results in a clang of metal and the target goes spinning and flying! Bring some binoculars and a set of hearing protection (really only needed for high power matches). If you enjoy shooting you’ll likely be attracted to the game. If you think you’d like to try shooting there are many of us who enjoy sharing our love for the sport. Just ask and we’ll let you try! Membership fees for the BRSA are $90.00 for the year (April 1 ~ March 31). Additional dependant family members may join for $15.00 each, which covers insurance costs. In addition to insurance (which includes liability protection for members if ever involved in a shooting accident) and ongoing club expenses, dues cover your participation in 4 club matches, scheduled throughout the season. Juniors compete for free. Membership for those 65 years and up is $35.00 but does not include any match fees. Memberships can be purchased from Jeramey Marsh 250 420-7302.

Back to back home wins boost Kootenay Ice Late strikes lead Ice to victory over Moose Jaw Warriors Friday and Swift Current Broncos Saturday
Taylor Rocc a
They say lightning doesn’t strike twice. Whoever “they” might be forgot to tell the Kootenay Ice. Desperately in need of a win, Luke Pierce’s club used late-game heroics on back-to-back nights to score consecutive victories for the first time this season, downing the Moose Jaw Warriors 2-1 in overtime Friday and the Swift Current Broncos 2-1 in regulation Saturday. “It’s nice to get a win without going to overtime [Saturday],” Pierce said. “We can’t keep giving points away to teams ahead of us in the standings. People might think -- what are you talking about, standings? “It matters to us. We believe we’ve got an opportunity to work ourselves back to a playoff spot. You have to start stringing wins together.” And string wins together the Ice did. Friday, defenceman Cale Fleury was the hero jumping off the bench late in overtime to score the deciding goal -- his first of the season. You could hear the sophomore defenceman shout all the way up in the rafters of Western Financial Place, and from behind his own blue-line, Matt Alfaro heard him as well, hitting Fleury in stride. The 17-year-old native of Calgary sent electricity through the building as he made a sly move, protecting the puck against a Warriors defender before fooling goaltender Brody Willms and calmly tickling the twine. “I just knew I had a step on their last defenceman there, so I was calling really loud for the puck. I really wanted it,” Fleury said with a grin Friday. “I knew I had a step on him so I could drive the net and take it to the other side. I was luck enough for it to go in. “I hate to be a cliche, but it was definitely a monkey off the back. It feels good.” The monkey Fleury speaks of had a two-handed grab -- Friday’s triumph spelled the end of a four-game
losing streak for the Ice and the goal that won it was Fleury’s first of the year. “There’s no better feeling in hockey,” Pierce said. “Just an outstanding play. “Cale Fleury is a hockey player -- play and simple. That was a heck of a play by him. He had a great game [Friday].” Fleury was called upon in overtime after the Warriors forced the extra session late in regulation. With an offensive zone face-off looming and 2:07 remaining, Warriors head coach Tim Hunter called for timeout and beckoned Willms to the bench for the extra attacker. That decision paid off in spades for the Moose Jaw bench boss as Noah Gregor collected a loose puck off the ensuing face-off, beating Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin to knot the game 1-1 with 2:03 to play. Though Willms was victimized in overtime, there was no way to blame him for the Warriors shortcomings. The native of Coquitlam, B.C., was strong, turning aside 30 of the 32 shots sent his way. At the other end, Wyatt Hoflin made 25 saves including 13 in the third. Of note was the absence of Warriors captain Brayden Point, who missed the game due to an undisclosed injury. On the flip side, the Ice were buoyed by the return of their captain as Luke Philp was back in the lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury. The 20-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., opened the scoring for his club. “It’s funny. It’s an interesting phenomenon,” Pierce said. “You add a guy like that back into your lineup and what it does for the rest of your players — he scored the lone goal but we had several other chances and we could’ve been up three- or four-nothing. “So many other players played well. Even guys that weren’t on the ice with [Philp]. It’s funny how that works. I think you flip it the other way
with [the Warriors] not having Brayden Point in their lineup, I thought they looked a little dejected early in the game. I’m sure he would’ve been a difference-maker for them from a morale standpoint.” After Friday’s emotional win over the Warriors, Saturday shaped up to be another emotional outing as longtime Ice forward Jon Martin -- traded earlier this season -- made his return to Cranbrook as a member of the Swift Current Broncos. While Alfaro set up Friday’s fireworks, he took care of the whole show late in Saturday’s win over the Broncos. With 1:58 to go in a 1-1 tie and with his club working diligently to kill off a five-minute charging major to Shane Allan, Alfaro forced a turnover at the Ice blueline before breaking in alone on Broncos goaltender Landon Bow. With miles of open space, the 19-year-old Alfaro made no mistake as he beat the Broncos netminder to snap the 1-1 draw and help push the Kootenay Ice (6-162-0) to a 2-1 victory (814-2-0). “I wasn’t thinking [scoring opportunity] — I was thinking just get the puck out, maybe get a stick on it and get a good break and get it the other way,” Alfaro said Saturday. “Luckily, I got it on my stick for a breakaway. “I saw the goalie come far out and knew I couldn’t shoot. I knew I had to get around him. “I’m not one to do big celebrations or anything, but there, I couldn’t help myself.” While Alfaro provided Saturday’s late-game heroics on the offensive side of the puck, rookie goaltender Declan Hobbs was rock solid at the other end of the rink, turning aside 27 pucks as he collected his first-career WHL victory. “It feels good to get that first one out of the way and hopefully there’s more to come,” Hobbs said Saturday. “It takes a load off my shoulders and I can feel better in the net now. “It’s good to get these

Kootenay Ice forward Matt Alfaro (#21) slides the puck past Swift Current Broncos goaltender Landon Bow Saturday night to vault his team to a 2-1 victory in Western Hockey League action. two wins on the weekend here. “We got these wins because we played a lot more structured and we had a lot more work ethic in these games than we did before. If we continue to do that, we’re just going to keep getting better and better.” The visiting Broncos opened the scoring 9:03 into the first period as import left wing Andreas Schumacher redirected a point shot from defenceman Jayden Gordon to fool Hobbs. Not even five minutes wound down on the clock after Schumacher’s opening tally before captain Philp came to the rescue. With the puck at the half wall on the far side of the ice, Kootenay’s leading scorer made a quick spin move to evade a defender before driving the net and finding a hole in Bow. It took its sweet time, but the rubber eventually trickled over the goal line to tie the game 1-1 and that’s how it remained until Alfaro struck. By the time the final buzzer sounded, the veteran Bow had turned in a 22-save effort. Hobbs was strong once again as he even turned aside a penalty shot Saturday. “I couldn’t be happier for the guy tonight to finally get that [first win],” Pierce said of his rookie goaltender. “We haven’t given him a lot of run support. He knows how good he’s got to be.
“We talked after last game — [a 2-0 loss to Everett] and I know he was really frustrated with the loss — but just try not to do too much and steal games. Just give us a chance to win and eventually we’ll win one for you. “He’s just so calm and composed right now.” While Philp provided much-needed offense in his return this weekend, the Ice might have to get
used to life without their captain again. Late in Saturday’s proceedings, the peppy pivot went down in a heap, his legs tangled awkwardly beneath him. Not one to stay down, Philp was unable to get off the ice without assistance. He did not return to the contest and later left Western Financial Place on crutches and wearing a walking boot. While Philp’s status is
still to be determined, the Ice will look to grab a third consecutive win Wednesday evening when they host the Red Deer Rebels (16-7-0-0) at Western Financial Place. Notes: The Ice went without D Tyler King (knee), RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder surgery), RW Zak Zborosky (lower body), RW River Beattie (head) and D Jason Wenzel (headaches) Saturday…

Young Lieffers debuts for Kootenay Ice 15-year-old forward sees first Western Hockey League action after weekend recall
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Eli Lieffers was sitting in math class back at home in Saskatoon when his phone rang. On most occasions, it isn’t advisable for a 15-year-old kid to answer his cell phone during school, but Wednesday morning, the Kootenay Ice prospect took a chance. And boy, was he glad he picked up that phone. “I was nervous -- I felt sick to my stomach,” Lieffers said, remembering Wednesday’s phone call requesting his services in Cranbrook, following Friday’s 2-1 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors. “But I knew if I come out here and I work hard and do what I can do, it will be okay.” Work is exactly what he did as he made his Western Hockey League debut Friday night. Stepping onto the ice surface at Western Financial Place, the fourth-
“I’m just very fortunate that the coaches and management gave me the opportunity to play in this game. I’m just happy to be here.” Eli Lieffers Kootenay Ice round pick of the Kootenay Ice couldn’t help but reminisce on growing up watching his hometown Saskatoon Blades. “I always used to go watch Blades games,” Lieffers said. “It was kind of weird to be in a different role, instead of watching [WHL] games, playing in the game. It was a good experience for me.” For a 15-year-old to make his WHL debut, there needs to be pretty extenuating circumstance and faced without six regular skaters Friday
night, Luke Pierce found himself scrounging for healthy bodies. While the 6-foot-2, 155-pound Lieffers might have some maturing to do, Pierce sees plenty of upside in his game. “After his first two shifts, there really wasn’t much to tell him,” Pierce said Friday. “He’s a smart kid. He gets it. “I was impressed with how he played.” After his debut Friday, Lieffers suited up for his second night of action Saturday against the Swift Current Broncos -- another 2-1 victory for his Kootenay Ice. “It was a good experience just to be on the bench and feel the atmosphere of the players,” Lieffers said. “It was a lot of fun.” A fourth-round pick (78th overall) of the Ice at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, Lieffers skated at his first WHL training camp this fall, getting into one exhibition game wit the Ice before return-

In 16 games since then, Lieffers has posted
two goals and three points. With this weekend’s two-game WHL recall, he now has a better taste for where he needs to get to if he
wants to be a full-time member of the Kootenay Ice when he is eligible come the 2016-17 season. “I’m just very fortu-
nate that the coaches and management gave me the opportunity to play in this game,” Lieffers said. “I’m just happy to be here.”
Cranbrook physique athlete lands NPAA pro card Anderson scores novice win and NPAA pro card in Calgary
For The Townsman
Cranbrook’s Rachel Anderson landed her Natural Physique and Athletics Association (NPAA) pro card last week following a first-
place finish in novice bikini model competition in Calgary. Anderson, 18, also finished third in open competition, which featured 19 competitors, as well as fourth in elite
pro competition. The local physique athlete trains out of Aspire2bfit Training Facility alongside renowned trainer Laurie Dickson. Next up, Anderson is set to compete in May
2016, where she will pursue her International Federation of Physique Athletes (IFPA) pro card in order to represent Cranbrook at the 2016 IFPA Yorton Cup world championships.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Rory McIlroy survived a late scare and finished his frustrating season on a high, winning both the DP World Tour Championship and the Race to Dubai crown on Sunday. McIlroy got the better of overnight leader Andy Sullivan over the back nine to clinch the European Tour’s season-ending tournament. The third-ranked Northern Irishman shot 6-under 66 with eight birdies to finish on 21under 267, one stroke ahead of Sullivan (68). England’s Danny
Willett, who started the tournament 1,613 points behind McIlroy in the Race to Dubai and needed to beat him to become the European No. 1 for the first time in his career, finished tied for fourth on 13-under 275 after shooting 70. South Africa’s Branden Grace shot 5-under 67 in the final round to finish third on 273. McIlroy had an anxious moment late in the day when his tee shot on the par-3 17th found the water and threatened to nullify his advantage at that stage. But the 26-year-old McIlroy made a brilliant 40-feet putt to limit the
damage to a bogey, which gave him a oneshot lead going to the 18th where he and Sullivan made par. “In hindsight, I probably should have gone with a different club and a different shot,” McIlroy said of his problems at the 17th. “It’s definitely probably the longest putt I’ve ever made for a bogey. I don’t think there’s been one that’s come at a better time. So, yeah, definitely the best bogey of my career.” McIlroy also won the Race to Dubai title as the European Tour’s No. 1 player for the year, the third time he has secured the honour after
winning in 2012 and 2014. “To be European No. 1 for the third time in four years, that was a goal of mine at the start of the year. It was a goal of mine in the middle of the year and it was definitely a goal coming into these last few weeks,” he said. McIlroy’s closest rival for the Race to Dubai was Willett, who made early birdies to climb to third place on the leaderboard, but both McIlroy and Sullivan had enough birdies of their own to stay comfortably clear. Willett needed to finish ahead of McIlroy in the tournament.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll be on a roll until noon, when you suddenly might need to switch gears. You might find someone to be a bit overbearing. You could feel awkward discussing an investment with a dear friend, as you seem to be second-guessing yourself. Tonight: Indulge a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it OK to feel out of sorts in the morning. Not everyone is a morning person. Give yourself time and space to acclimate to the fact that it is Monday. You could feel awkward about allowing a close associate to dominate the scene. Tonight: Do your thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A meeting in the morning might have much more influence on your plans than you realize. Sometimes a friend is the source of misunderstanding. Allow more creativity to come out when in a heated discussion. Tonight: Be flattered by someone’s attempt to impress you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be forced to give an extra push to a project. You will discover that a lot happens in the most unexpected way. Reach out to a loved one at a distance whom you care a lot about. You’ll want to make travel plans soon. Tonight: Hang out with people you enjoy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be too focused for someone’s liking. This person wants to get you to do something that you are resistant to try. Allow your creativity to emerge. Communication will flourish if you are willing to get past a self-imposed restriction. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance. Though you don’t always agree with this person, you find it beneficial to get his or her feedback. Use care with your spending. You easily could overindulge and regret it later. Tonight: Consider taking off for an unusual trip this weekend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You nearly always enjoy relat-
Tundra
ing on a one-on-one level with others. You might relax once you start discussing a problem more completely. To your surprise, you suddenly could become irritable. Try to get to the real reason behind this reaction. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to a partner, as you will have little choice anyway. This person wants what he or she wants, and there is no way around it. You’ll lighten up the moment with a fun statement that forces others to laugh. Be careful about overindulging. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel as if you have nearly everything under control. You still could be a little disappointed by someone you had counted on. This person eventually will come through, but he or she has a hostile edge that you would prefer not to deal with. Tonight: Mosey on home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might get a strong premonition about what would be best to do, but you also realize that
you have been a bit off when it comes to trusting your instincts. Just allow your imagination to flow, and know that not every idea needs to be perfect. Tonight: Off enjoying the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could find that your tendency to be obstinate comes up when dealing with a roommate or family member. You might become so engrossed in this conflict that you see no possible solution. Try to detach and find a way to resolve the issue. Tonight: Hang with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep conversations moving, even if you feel awkward. You could have a sudden realization about a financial matter that could be profoundly upsetting. Allow your imagination to flow freely. Tonight: A chat with a special friend proves to be quite delightful.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am six months into a separation from my husband of seven years. (The separation was his idea.) I thought our relationship was solid and was completely blindsided when he told me he felt deserted and lonely. While I am still hoping for reconciliation, I have recently begun seeing someone else. My relationship with Mr. New is of the friends-withbenefits nature. I have no desire to actually date him (we want very different things in life), and at any rate, he is leaving the area in a couple of months. But for the moment, he’s a fun distraction and a much-needed boost to my ego. If I reconcile with my husband, am I required to disclose this liaison? My husband has been seeing other women for quite some time, although this was not a factor in our separation. We have a “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” type of open marriage and seeing others is accepted. -- Still Married Dear Still: If you have a “don’t-askdon’t-tell” relationship, then you are under no obligation to disclose anything about your extracurricular activities. However, if your husband feels lonely and abandoned, you might want to rethink the type of marriage you have. Open marriages don’t work for everyone, and yours may not be as satisfying as either of you expected. Please don’t assume your problems will resolve themselves during the separation. The two of you should have a frank and honest discussion and see whether you can get to the root of your issues. Then you can work on making the necessary adjustments so things improve. Otherwise, professional counseling can help steer you in the right direction, together or separately. Dear Annie: There’s another option to consider when it comes to “Guilty by Accusation,” the 20-year-old whose parents accused him of taking their Xanax because he had once done so when he was 15. Xanax is prescribed for anxiety. For those who experience it, anxiety is a truly troubling ailment. Those suffering from it keep the issues that bother them roiling around in their heads much more intensely than the average person. The Xanax calms this and helps them “let go” a bit easier. So one needs to take the parents’ response into consideration -- that they were more anxious about the missing pills than they were convinced that their son had stolen them. Accusing him was the easiest answer to their anxiety. Most of us have done something when we were young that we’d like to take back. I hope “Guilty” realizes that his youthful slip-up doesn’t define who he is. He sounds like a guy who cares. So when he asks what else he can say to his parents, I suggest he say, “How can I help you find the Xanax?” -- Retired Pharmacist Dear Pharmacist: You make a good point that people with anxiety issues might worry tremendously about their misplaced medication, blaming whoever is handy. We hope the Xanax turns up soon so that their son is off the hook. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Jumbo mayor welcomes dismissal of legal challenge Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

Generous heart brings lots of activities to Psych Unit Submit ted
It was a contest like no other; purchase a car at Cranbrook Mitsubishi and the dealership would award the purchaser $10,000. The other amazing catch to the story is that the purchaser would then receive an additional $10,000 for a charity of their choice. For Danielle Evans that choice was a simple one; she chose the East Kootenay Foundation for Health. EKFH worked
with Danielle to steward the funds to purchase a variety of activity equipment and items for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s psychiatry unit. “There is a long list of items that Danielle’s gift has purchased from cooking and baking supplies, arts and crafts items, a recumbent bike and air hockey table. Her personal goal of keeping people active while on the unit has certainly been achieved,” says EKFH’s Donna
Grainger. A donation to EKFH can make a difference in not just the physical health of a patient but mental health too. No matter the size of the gift it is in the giving that truly makes a difference in the work the foundation undertakes. EKFH’s 8th annual Starlite Campaign will launch on November 27. To make a donation please visit us www.ekfh.ca and don’t forget to like us on Facebook too.

The B.C. Supreme Court dismissed the West Kootenay EcoSociety’s petition against the creation of Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality recently, a move welcomed by the municipality. “The decision isn’t surprising. I think the point of the legal challenge was just to create uncertainty. I regret court time was taken up with so weak a case,” said Jumbo mayor Greg Deck late last week. The EcoSociety’s petition, filed more than two years ago, maintained that the provincial Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and the Lieutenant Governor in Council, by deciding to incorporate the mountain resort municipality, had contravened the Local Government Act and Community Charter. The case was heard in heard in court this past July. The decision, rendered by Judge Grace Choi, was delivered on Tuesday, November 10th and, in her 20page judgement, Ms. Choi rejected the EcoSociety’s argument, ruling that, in her view, the provincial Local Government Act clearly intends to aid ski resort development — particularly the 2012 amendments to the act, which allowed for incorporating Jumbo. “It seems to me that those amendments were specifically designed to facilitate the creation of pre-development, pre-resident resort municipalities that may be exempted from the normal voting requirements. Parliament’s intention is clear,” said Ms. Choi in the judgment. “The court should not interfere with a discretionary, policy-motivated decision such as this without clear reason to do so.” Nelson-based EcoSociety lawyer Judah Harrison was disappointed with the ruling, telling The Pioneer, that is his opinion the judge focused only on whether the provincial government was technically allowed to incorporate the resort, not on the larger question of whether or not is was reasonable to do so in light of the Local Government Act, the Commu-
nity Charter and a Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) resolution opposing funding of municipalities without residents. “The judge basically looked at the statutory structure and whether or not it allowed them (the minister and Lieutenant Governor) to do what they did. We know they were allowed to do it, by changing the statues (with the 2012 amendments). Our question was: should they?” said Mr. Harrison. “In my opinion, the failure from the judge was to truly analyze that and determine whether the decision was reasonable. She didn’t look into the particulars of how Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality was created. Our argument was that those amendments (to the Local Government Act) go against, and undermine, the true purpose of democratic accountability of the original legislation. The judge only touched briefly on that in two paragraphs in judgment (which is 75 paragraphs long) and didn’t really examine it in any depth, not one iota.” Mr. Harrison also expressed concern with the manner in which the 2012 amendments were made. “They were made in omnibus bill. If you’re going to change democratically fundamental legislation, do it openly, not hidden in a much larger budget bill,” he said. With legal statues allowing for the incorporation of Jumbo municipality and with more recent legislation tending to trump older legislation in court cases, the EcoSociety’s petition was never an easy case, according to Mr. Harrison. “There are so many procedural hurdles,” he said. “But when you get down to it, although technically (incorporating Jumbo) complies (with the relevant legislation), it is so far removed from the purpose of democratic accountability that on the face of it it’s just wrong.” The West Kootenay EcoSociety has 30 days in which to appeal the judgement, if it choses to do so, giving them a deadline of Thursday, December 10th by which to make that decision.
