WildSafe BC delivers programming in schools, deals with human wildlife issues in Kimberley and Cranbrook C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
It was a busy year for Wildsafe BC’s program in both Kimberley and Cranbrook in 2015. Program coordinator Sonya Seher delivered educational programs in schools, did media outreach and public presentations. She also did a little spy work, tagging garbage bags at homes where residents were not obeying garbage bylaws. It was also a year where human wildlife encounters were on the rise, Seher noted in a draft report to Kimberley City Council. Because of a poor berry crop, bear activity was up in both communities, especially Cranbrook. There were also more reports of aggressive mule deer does in Kimberley in the spring and summer than in the previous year. 2015 was the first year for WildSafeBC’s Junior Rangers Program. In Kimberley-Cranbrook, this program built on existing school presentations by championing students to take action on wildlife attractants around their home, and to be ambassadors for recreating safety in town and in the backcountry. Participating classes at Cranbrook’s Gordon Terrace Elementary (grade 4) and Kimberley’s Lindsay Park Elementary (grade 3) received two presentations (Bears, Predators/Ungulates) with interactive games and activities, and completed a bear-safe home checklist. Seher reports that the program was well received and more teachers have requested it for next year. Grade 4 students proved to be the programs best audience: the students were old enough to receive the material well, but young enough to appreciate the prizes received, she noted. As for human wildlife conflict, the message remains the same — garbage continues to be the major problem in attracting wildlife. For 2016, Seher has suggested an earlier start to the program. She notes that in 2015, bears were being reported in early April and by May, a number were already habituated to human food sources. Seher also reports she had numerous calls from people in the rural areas C and E requesting program support, mostly around issues with grizzlies and badgers. Currently, the cities of Kimberley and Cranbrook are the support for the program. If the RDEK stepped in, the program could be delivered to rural areas as well. Seher will be working on securing RDEK funding in 2016.

Kimberley Nordic Centre is in great shape for skiing, especially after the big dump of snow on Tuesday. The Nordic centre is more than just trails — it features a lodge which always has a fire going for the after ski socializing. The little wax hut, a great little place to hang out, wax your skis and enjoy the wood stove. Everything you need is here. You can even rent a locker and leave your ski gear on site. There is a number of ski programs from the young Jackrabbits up to the Masters program (for the slightly older crowd). For further information follow the Facebook page or check out the website which has up to date trail conditions. Above, trail attendant Emily Newel sells Cal Johnson his seasons pass. By Chris Newel

Mainroad advises caution near plows What’s Up? Be extremely cautious when approaching highway maintenance vehicles
Cranbrook, BC | November 24, 2015 – Winter is here so we’re reminding everyone to please drive safe especially when approaching a highway maintenance vehicle. When drivers attempt to pass a plow truck, they put themselves, their passengers, the truck operator and the driving public at risk. Keep a safe distance and always stay alert. Though you see the plow truck, the plow truck operator might not see you. · Snowplows move at much slower speeds than other vehicles. On the highway, snowplows normally don’t travel faster than 60 km/hr when plowing or
spreading winter abrasives. · Drivers may not be aware that plows are wide and can extend across the centre line of the highway. · On some highways and bridge structures, two or more snow plows may be staggered across multiple lanes with the plow in front pushing snow towards the plows behind. This is an effective way to quickly clear wide areas so we want to remind drivers to stay behind these plowing operations and to not try to pass. · Snow plows, salt or sand trucks throw up snow and spray making it difficult to see. Snow plows have limited visibility and plow truck operators cannot see directly behind their trucks. · If a snowplow is approaching in oncoming traffic, pull to the right as much as possible and slow down to avoid being hit by winter abrasives. Operators don’t always have a chance to turn down their spin-

ners when vehicles are passing. · Please give road maintenance crews room to do their work. · Remember the road surface ahead of the plow hasn’t been plowed yet therefore please slow down and
be patient. The operator will eventually pull over and let you pass safely. Please slow down, drive to the conditions, and increase the distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you.

province who are hand-selected to join this Canada-wide team. The Dream Team concept originated in Nova Scotia with the aim of bringing community and business leaders together with one common goal: fighting cancer. Each leader on the team commits to raising $10,000 to support Relay For Life. For this first-ever National
Dream Team, each of the ten provinces is looking to enlist 10 members to commit to this fundraising goal. That gives this project the ambitious goal of $1 million. Any money raised by Dr. Langer will aid the Canadian Cancer Society in its mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the lives of those living with the disease.
“I believe that helping those in need is the most rewarding way to spend your time; in giving back to our communities we’re adding to the foundation of a better future for our families, our businesses, our communities and beyond,” Dr Langer says.

LOCAL NEWS Fire Smart meeting this Wednesday
This story was unfortunately cut off from the front page yesterday, so here it is in its entirety. We apologize for the error. C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Residents are reminded that those interested in getting to work on fire-smarting their properties and neighbourhoods are invited to a Kimberley Fire Department Open House this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire Hall. (Please use the rear entrance on the Mark Creek parking lot side). The purpose of the meeting is to pass on information on how to fire smart your property to make it safer from forest fires, and also to find people who may be willing to head up committees to work on entire neighbourhoods. These so-called community champi-
ons would help organize FireSmart work in neighbourhoods. The Fire Department wouldn’t do the work on private lands, but can evaluate and help you make a plan to make your property safer. If you did have a neighbourhood work party, the City could come in with the chipper to assist in getting rid of fuels. The Fire Department’s role is to evaluate, give suggestions, then re-evaluate and report to the province. The workshop will serve to identify and prepare prospective Community Champions to lead their neighborhoods towards increased preparedness for wildfire. This will be achieved by providing individuals with the information to recognize wildfire hazards; an understanding of simple FireSmart solutions; opportunities

“I strive to help out where I can, and — having lost a brother to cancer — I’m very excited to be a part of the Relay For Life team as we aim to contribute as much as possible to help fund life-saving research.” With his deep personal connection to brain cancer, Mark will take part in a partnership between the Society and Brain Canada — all donations to his campaign will be designated for brain cancer research and will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Brain Canada. Through this partnership, the Society is able to leverage matching funds from Brain Canada through the Canada Brain Research Fund, a public-private partnership established by the Government of Canada. “Rather than just ask for donations I thought hosting an event, would be a lot more fun and give me the chance to interact, raise awareness and fundraise at the same time,” Langer said. “Hosting the Guys & Dolls Speakeasy was a great experience and we’re thrilled to have
Public Open House - Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The Optimist Nov. 26-28, 2015 7:30 PM $10 General Admission $8 Students & Seniors
The City of Cranbrook has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years. The last plan was prepared in 1995 and set the framework for the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, and the new arena and aquatic centre. The consulting firm for the Master Plan is Urban Systems. Starting in April 2015, our consultants engaged the community to provide feedback. A community survey was undertaken and nine visioning workshops were conducted, including two general public sessions. The public was invited to send emails or letters at any time. The public is invited to attend an open house on Thursday November 26th, 2015 from 3pm to 9pm, at Western Financial Place to review the draft recommendations that have emerged from this process. The open house will provide our residents with an opportunity to provide input on the draft Master Plan.

The support from the community and the generosity of those who attended the event has taken me to over 50 per cent to my fundraising goal. “I’ve already been asked if this will be an annual event, stay tuned! Lori Stevenson, Team Lead, Community Giving for the Canadian Cancer Society, says Dream Team members share a common desire to raise money for cancer research, prevention and support programs. “We are thrilled to have Mark as a member of our National Dream Team,” Stevenson said. “Even more exciting is the fact that Mark is a new supporter of the Society who has joined the Relay For Life Dream Team to increase awareness of how cancer impacts us all.” Each year, Relay For Life brings together more than 160,000 people across Canada to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and empower individuals and communities to fight back against cancer. In 2014 in BC and Yukon alone, Relay For Life raised more than $3.5 million.

ALC changes
Dear Reed Bailey; I must say I left the ALC information meeting at Wasa feeling very frustrated and discouraged. Maybe you did too. Of course you were just “doing your job”, but your job seemed to be one of defending the indefensible. It seemed no matter how many times the question was asked, how many people asked it, or how many different twists we gave it, we never got a logical answer – the question being: On what basis are all the small farmable parcels being excluded? We were told it was because they were in a group of small parcels, or because it made the boundary crooked, which boiled down to you just wanted a new map with neat boundaries. We were told the parcels could still be farmed and that they could still be subdivided. So what exactly is the purpose of the ALR? Apparently not just “to preserve agricultural land” (see below). More likely it is to “enable and accommodate farm use of agricultural land and uses compatible with agriculture.” However those uses may be defined by self-interested officials, politicians, businesses and developers, interests which are far removed from the basic idea of protecting land for food production, food sustainability and food security. Exclusion of these lands will definitely facilitate subdivision for “development”, and it will definitely facilitate a tax grab by local governments. As one speaker pointed out, there is no benefit to her from her land being excluded; the only change for her will be an increase in taxes. Given that many of those present at the meeting are not even applying for exclusion, why are you proceeding with this project to exclude parcels on a wholesale basis? Carol Latter Kimberley
Natural Gas Option
In September, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) met for its annual AGM and made an honourable attempt during their convention to lobby the Energy Minister Bill Bennett regarding the building time line for Site C. The request was simple: to have the BC Utilities Commission examine the need and cost for Site C before things get too far. This was not an unreasonable request under the circumstances. For instance, the demand for electricity throughout North America has dropped dramatically as has the price per megawatt hour. This is in large part due to the use of natural gas powered turbines, which are remarkably cheap to build and maintain even in “green California. 52% of California’s electricity is produced by natural gas. Energy Minister Bennett rejected the request outright. Perhaps there is a good reason on his part as well. Your hydro utility costs per kWh of energy are sky rocketing in comparison to other natural gas run facilities, such as the Shepard Energy Centre in SW Calgary. The natural gas powered Shepard facility is now up and running and will offer its best customers in Calgary the minimal pricing of 8 cents per kWh until 2020 ! Natural gas is hard and firm power for any utility and not subject to a lack of wind or sun. It is cheap, the cleanest of any fossil fuel and readily available. We, on the other hand, here in BC will be paying almost 8 cents per kWh on the first 710 kWh and then 12 cents on any additional kWh of energy after the initial 710. (we have a two tier pricing regime whereas the natural gas powered Shepard remains on a single tier of 8 cents/kWh) Here are the other fiscal factors for BC customers: Price increase in 2016 – 4% Price increase in 2017- 3.5 % Price increase in 2018 – 3 %
Price increase in 2019 and 2020- to be determined NO INCREASES for Shepard Energy Centre customers in Calgary until at least 2020. If you are a typical household of 4 people you may well be consuming an average of about 2000 kWh/ month. Doing some simple math, by the end of 2020, you will have paid $2900 more than the same typical family in Calgary, using the Shepard Energy Centre’s natural gas powered system. Perhaps it is time to ask our Energy Minister Bill Bennett why he is so determined not to use the natural gas option when it comes to producing our electricity here at home? It is impossible for Site C to be price competitive with natural gas. After all, that $2900 could still be in your pocket if the Liberal government were to look at the natural gas powered option for electricity in lieu of a taxpayer funded Site C project.

Correction
A recent article entitled “Cranbrook Veteran’s Grave Finally Completed” (Townsman, Nov. 18), contained some errors. AC1 Gerald Ward Bradford would not be considered a veteran per se, but war dead, according to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Canadian Agency, who contacted the Townsman in this regard. Veterans survived the war — a war dead is someone who died during one of the World Wars. The article says that the Last Post Fund was involved — the CWGC Canadian Agency received the request to rectify the error on the war grave and researched it, produced the headstone, and had it installed all at its own cost.

Battered Ice look for third consecutive win as Rebels visit With captain Luke Philp out indefinitely, Kootenay Ice hope to battle back into Western Hockey League playoff picture Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
If you ask Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce to talk about the impact of 20-year-old Luke Philp, he will tell you the play of his captain has been nothing short of inspirational to this point in the season. With the crafty centreman not expected back until January after undergoing surgery on his right ankle, the Ice will be looking to him for a different sort of motivation as they fight to get back into the WHL’s Eastern Conference playoff picture. “It’s the most cliche thing in the world -- you don’t replace those guys -- everybody needs to be just a little bit better,” Pierce said of losing Philp. “But the one thing for us is you’ve got to find a way to make it inspirational. “I said to our guys, ‘What kind of team do you want to welcome him back to? Do we want to welcome him back to a team that’s fighting and staying alive? Or a group that’s rolled over and died?’” In the short term, the Ice are fighting and staying alive -- winners of two consecutive games this past weekend. With the Central Division-leading Red Deer Rebels visiting Cranbrook Wednesday night, the Ice will look to make it three in a row. Former first-round pick Jared Legien is hoping he can do his part to step up and have a bigger impact with his captain out of the lineup. After scoring his first-career WHL goal
Nov. 14 in Medicine Hat, the 17-year-old native of Pilot Butte, Sask., mixed it up by getting into his first WHL scrap Saturday against Swift Current Broncos centre Conner Chaulk. “If I can keep putting the puck in the net and keep laying big hits, I’ll do anything to help our team win,” Legien said Tuesday prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “[Philp] is obviously a huge part of our team. It will take a lot to fill his spot, but if each person chips in, hopefully we’ll be able to make up for what we lost.” After serving a grand total of 17 minutes in penalties for his part in the brouhaha -- a two-minute minor paired with a 10-minute misconduct for instigating and the standard five-minute fighting major -- Legien returned to the ice and continued imposing his 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame on the opposition. “We’re not the most physical team, so every night I go out there and try to lay a hit -- our motto is lay a hit a shift,” Legien said. “If you can lay one big hit a game, that helps our team.” With six regular skaters expected out of the lineup due to injury, coupled with the fourgame suspension of forward Shane Allan for a charging major incurred Saturday against the Broncos, there’s plenty of opportunity for players to step into bigger roles and take on bigger minutes. “It’s a great opportunity to get a little bit more experience,” Pierce said. “But at the

same time, they’ve got to be really smart about how they go about it because it can also damage you a little bit if you really, really struggle with increased minutes and opportunity. It can hurt you going forward. “They have to be responsible and not try to play too far over their heads and give us good, quality, safe minutes. We’ve got to find ways to eke things out here.” The injury list seemingly grows with each passing game in Cranbrook. Heading into Wednesday’s mid-week matchup, the Ice will be without defencemen Tyler King (knee, indefinite) and Jason Wenzel (head, day to day) as well as an overwhelming group of forwards, including Philp (ankle, indefinite), right wing Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder, four to six months), right wing Zak Zborosky (lower body, week to week) and right wing River Beattie (head, one to two weeks). “It’s a lot of bodies,” Pierce said. “I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything like it in my
time. You look at the league, there are a lot of teams dealing with similar things. “It’s adversity, but we can come out of it on the other side, hopefully a better team.” With affiliate forward Eli Lieffers returning home to Saskatoon following a two-game stint over the weekend, the Ice have recalled 17-year-old forward Connor Barley from the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. Following Wednesday’s tilt with the Rebels, the Ice visit the Lethbridge Thursday before returning home for a rematch with the Hurricanes Saturday night. Puck drop between the Ice and Rebels is slated for 7 p.m. at Western Financial Place. “They’re a good team,” Legien said. “We just need to shoot the puck, lay the body, get on them hard and fast and come out strong. They’re a good team, so we need to maybe catch them by surprise off the start and get on them early.”

Ice recall Barley from MJHL 17-year-old forward expected to debut Wednesday Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice have recalled 17-yearold forward Connor Barley from the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL). The 6-foot, 174pound winger was in Cranbrook Tuesday and is expected to be available when the Ice host the Red Deer Rebels Wednesday night. “Connor Barley got in [Tuesday], so he will practice with us and he’ll be ready to go for the three games this week,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Tuesday prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “He’s going to get a chance to play a big part in our lineup, just due to the bodies that we have.
Great opportunity for him.” Barley, a native of St. Andrews, Man., was on the opening-night roster for the Ice, but didn’t
see any regular-season action before being returned to the MJHL Steelers. In 20 games since landing back in Manitoba, Barley has collected seven goals and 10 points. In five pre-season games with the Ice, Barley registered two assists
and a plus-3 rating. Barley was originally a seventh-round pick (141st overall) of the Ice at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. Barley will be wearing sweater No. 20 when he suits up Wednesday. With injuries to six regular skaters and forward Shane Allan unavailable after being slapped with a fourgame suspension as a result of a charging major incurred Saturday against the Swift Current Broncos, the Ice are expected to go without seven regulars when the Rebels visit Cranbrook. Affiliate player Eli Lieffers, 15, skated in two games with the Ice this past weekend before being returned to the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League.
Curfew, focus and fun part of Grey Cup week for players arriving in Winnipeg Ste ve L ambert Canadian Press
WINNIPEG - Players gearing up for Sunday’s Grey Cup showdown arrived in Winnipeg Tuesday night, planning to enjoy the festivities - but not too much - while they prepare for the big game. “Yeah, we do curfew,” Ottawa Redblacks coach Rick Campbell told re-
porters shortly after the team’s plane landed. “I think there’s a balance you can strike of being able to participate and see some things without being in full party mode”. Players didn’t seem bothered by the idea of a nightly curfew - 11 p.m. in Ottawa’s case. “I don’t mind because I’m going to be in my bed,” said Redblacks
fullback Patrick Lavoie. “We know what we have to do.”
Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris is gunning for his third Grey Cup ring. The 40-year-old
said the fact the Redblacks are in the championship in the franchise’s second year is a tribute to the way the players and coaches have gelled. “With all the growing pains we had to go through as an organization, as a team last year, it’s created a group of guys that never say die in that locker room.” The Eskimos won
both
regular-season
matchups between the two teams, early in the season in July, but they
are not taking anything for granted going into Sunday. “It was a dogfight,” defensive lineman Odell Willis said. “Those guys fought hard. It just so happened we were able to make more plays than they did, and we were able to get the W.” Quarterback Mike Reilly said Ottawa has come a long way.
“They were a very different team when we played them early in the season and so are we,” he said. “It’s not a coincidence that they’re in the Grey Cup. They’ve been playing great football and they deserve to be there. So we’re going to have to put together a great performance in order to get the win.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You feel the pace picking up, possibly because of the Full Moon. In any case, be careful when moving quickly or using mechanical equipment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might wish for more than what you are receiving from a loved one. This person might be

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A couple of months ago, I met a guy at a concert and he added me as his friend on Facebook. Except for that one encounter, I don’t really know him. Tonight, I was strolling through Facebook and noticed a very disturbing post he had made. It bothered me so much that I went to his page and saw that the previous two hours had been a stream of disturbing comments alluding to hurting others. Nobody had commented or liked any of his posts, so I went back further on his page. It seems this guy doesn’t have any friends. His page looked like a one-way cry for help. I feel bad for him, but I’m scared to say anything. Is there a way I could get help for him anonymously? I worry that he may hurt himself or others. -- Not a Friend Dear Not: We suggest you visit this guy’s Facebook page and click the link that says “Report.” It will then be checked out by Facebook personnel who can determine how to handle it, and your name will not be mentioned. Though a great many folks post things on Facebook to give the impression that their lives are more interesting than they really are, this guy may be using Facebook simply to vent. Nonetheless, we don’t recommend that you become more involved in what he posts by responding. Dear Annie: My 20-year-old daughter recently became engaged to her 24-yearold boyfriend. My husband and I are delighted. We like her fiance very much. As soon as they set a date, we talked to the groom’s parents about the type of wedding they had in mind. Surprisingly, they told us that, as parents of the bride, we are responsible for all of the expenses, including the minister’s fee. They said that was the rule according to the etiquette books. True to their word, they haven’t offered a penny, even though they can afford it. After “the talk,” we scaled back considerably. We have kept the groom’s parents informed of our plans, so they don’t feel left out. The groom is embarrassed by his parents’ decision not to contribute, but apparently, he either won’t say anything or it hasn’t made any difference. As the deposit checks go out, my disappointment is increasing. I am trying hard to convince myself that the wedding is a gift to my daughter, and I’m hoping the groom’s parents will give to their son in some other way to make up for this. -Mother of the Bride in Phoenix Dear Mother: While we agree that the groom’s family seems ungenerous, etiquette says that the groom (not necessarily his parents) is responsible for his share of the wedding costs, although what that entails can vary. But it includes the officiant’s fee, the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon, among other things. These days, most couples pay for their own wedding or split the costs between the bride’s family and the groom’s, and we think this is a much more reasonable arrangement. After all, most brides and grooms hold jobs and live independently of their parents. The good news for you is, if you are covering all of the expenses, you get to make all of the decisions. A lot of brides and their parents would be happy with that arrangement. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Henry G. Rakebrand at home in Kimberley at the age of 63. Born in Dauphin, Manitoba he moved with his family to the Vancouver area. After spending his first career in the Canadian Armed Forces Navy out of Esquimalt, BC, he then became a journeyman sprinkler fitter by trade but there was never a thing he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix or do or make, especially if it were with metal. He was a jack of all trades. He loved to cook, build computers, and tease his kids. He was a giant of a man with a kind gentle soul, a huge heart, and a hearty laugh, who was always ready to help anyone with anything. He loved to socialize. From sending daily chess moves to his lifetime childhood friend Gary to the guys at the gun ranges, especially Andy and the gals at the pool. You never saw him without a huge smile on his face, everready for any conversation.  He is survived by his best friend and wife of 40 years Sharon, daughter Denise (Aaron) in Kimberley, son Jeff in Ottawa, mother Gertrud Rakebrand, sister Ilse (Rick) Ryan and their children and families in Surrey, BC, brothers-in-law Kevin (Trudy) Fitzpatrick in Wycliffe, Gerry (Lynn) Fitzpatrick in Kimberley, sister-in-law Charleen (Rae) Melmoth in Edmonton and each and every one of their children. Henry was predeceased by his father Hermann Rakebrand and his father and mother-in-law Simon and Mary Ellen (Helen) Fitzpatrick. Cremation has taken place. There will be no service at his request. In the spring there will be held a casual gathering of any friends and family to share those special memories of Henry. Date, place and time will be announced at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
