City of Cranbrook, Mainroad clean up after heavy snow Tuesday ARNE PETRYSHEN
Crews from Mainroad and the City of Cranbrook Public Works department jumped into action as snow was dumped on the East Kootenay early Tuesday morning. Al Sander, general manager for the East Kootenay Mainroad, said his crews have been busy plowing the roads and laying down salt and gravel. “I think the roads are in pretty good shape as
quickly as could be expected in that sort of weather,” Sander said. “You’re always going to have a couple of spots that are a little rough or a little icy, but I think for the most part it was handled quite well.” Mainroad is in charge of keeping the highways in good shape, while the City of Cranbrook Public Works department is in charge of city streets.

2015: A busy year for humans and wildlife
Wildsafe BC delivers programming in schools, deals with human wildlife issues in Kimberley and Cranbrook C AROLYN GR ANT
BARRY COULTER PHOTO
Mt. Baker Wild Drama’s production of “The Optimist,” an original work created by the students, opens tonight at the Key City Theatre. Part silent film, part surrealist comedy, “The Optimist” is an hallucinatory work of art. See more, Page 21.
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.

Snow clearing crews spring into action Continued from page 1 Derrick Anderson, Public Works manager, said the snow is sticking to the road because of the snowfall followed by the cold weather. “We had all of our crews going as soon as the snow started flying (Tuesday) morning at 5 a.m.” Anderson said. “We had crews in. It snowed really heavy so we had to basically start over again on our main streets.” He said on Wednesday that they were into the secondary priority routes. The snow in the downtown core will be cleared out today. On Tuesday, Anderson said had four underbelly plows, a grader and a loader going. The city is responsible for all the roads in the municipal limits except Van Horne Street. Public Works gets
weather reports taken by the Southeast Fire Centre from instruments at the Cranbrook yard. The report paints a more local picture of the incoming weather than the more regional forecasts of Environment Canada and the Weather Network. “Our weather conditions are far different from what Kimberley gets, from what Elkford gets and all the rest,” he said. He added they are waiting for the salt and sand that has been dumped on the roads to start loosening up the ice. It begins to work around minus 8 degrees celsius. Mainroad’s Cranbrook shop covers as far as Moyie to the south, just past Wardner to the East, Wyclyffe to the west and Wasa to the north.
He said when you get rain, it washes everything off the road. “And it’s impossible to get material on the road fast enough in that transition time,” he said. “You could have 100 trucks and you couldn’t get it out fast enough in those conditions.” Sander wanted people to be aware the plow

events, but the ones that we will have will be more serious ones. “Some of them could be rain, like they were last year — which is the worst thing for winter,” he said, adding that is quite difficult to deal with. “After a storm like this, when we get all the snow and ice off the roads, there is generally some salt residue left. That helps us going into the next storm because that helps keep the snow and ice from sticking too bad.”
NuViva is a proud supporter of Ideal Protein.
Sander said they try to send out trucks for pretreatment if the timing and temperatures are right. “We run a full 24 hour shift out of the Cranbrook location,” he said. “So there are trucks continually available and they are ready to go.”
Cranbrook gets $25,138 in grants to municipalities Trevor Crawley
Cranbrook will receive $25,138 from the provincial government as part of annual compensation for municipal property taxes through a grant in lieu program. In total, the province is doling out $17.3 million to 56 B.C. municipalities as reimbursement for municipal ser-

Mainroad is governed by specifications put forward by the province in terms of what’s expected. Mainroad has eight trucks in the area, including two of the newer, bigger plow trucks.

Local NEWS Businesses gear up for Black Friday Tre vor Cr awley
One of the biggest days for retail sales is coming up with Black Friday sweeping Cranbrook businesses this upcoming Friday, Nov. 27. The phenomenon, originating from a shopping blitz on the Friday following American Thanksgiving, has become a Canadian shopping holiday as well, with local businesses jumping on the marketing effort. The initiative was enthusiastically endorsed by the local business community
and while there was a concentrated effort to market products and services. With the Canadian dollar at 75 cents to the American dollar, there isn’t as much cross-border shopping happening than in years past, according to Joey Hoechsmann, the president of the Cranbrook Downtown Business Association. “We were very organized the last couple years with the initiative that had been put forward because of cross-border shopping, we had a big 10 per cent

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has launched their annual Turkey Drive, raising financial support for the Cranbrook Food Bank and the Salvation Army for the Christmas Hamper Program. The Turkey Drive will culminate with a fun day Thursday, December 3, with a final all-out effort to reach this year’s goal of $28,000. There is a need this year for over 750 Christmas Hampers in Cranbrook. The average Christmas hamper costs $85.00 for a total of $64,000. In its sixth year the Turkey Drive has raised over $130,000 to help these two vital local agencies support families in our community. “We are working to
ensure that everyone has a Christmas dinners,” said Jason Wheeldon, 2015 Turkey Driver chair. “A donation of a turkey, or turkeys, can make such a difference. The need is year round but is especially poignant at this time of year.” The Chamber Turkey Drive has grown into the largest contributor to the local hamper program from humble roots when a local community agency put a call out to the business community when they did not have sufficient resources to fill the hamper program. Staff and volunteers of the Chamber sprang to action phoning Chamber members and within 4 hours had raised the money to ensure that families would receive a hamper that year.

The 2015 Turkey Drive has begun online and with celebrity pledgers working to ensure the program is a success. “Our Little Pluckers as we like to call them are well known and gregarious business people who are hugely instrumental to our success,” said Chief Turkey Chair Wheeldon.

from all the feedback he’s aware of, that businesses and retailers aren’t losing out on as much cross-border shopping than in years past. “There was a lot of business going down south and that tap has all but turned off and those dollars now are staying in our community and it’s kind floating all boats so I think if you ask most retail businesses in Cranbrook, 2015 was a decent year, which is a nice trend of coming off three or four tougher years in retail,” he said.

Restaurant liquor rules eased Bl ack Press
The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food. They’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food. That’s expected to provide some more flexibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defined lounge areas.
“This is a small change that will make a big impact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail.” The rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.
More micro-beer offerings Black Press
Craft beer lovers should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores. The stores are reserving dedicated shelf
space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been offered in government stores. Exactly what’s sold will vary by location. There are more than
100 eligible microbreweries – producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently unlisted varieties from the nearest breweries.

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 ap-
preciate 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.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Winter Travelling Tip of the Week – Lower your speed to match road conditions. No matter how much driving experience you have, the way your vehicle will move on snow or ice is unpredictable. The posted speed is the maximum speed for ideal conditions. Plow Trucks – Winter has arrived so please drive safe, especially when approaching a highway or City maintenance vehicle. When drivers attempt to pass a plow truck, they put themselves, their passengers, the truck operator, and the driving public at risk. Even though you see the plow truck, the operator might not see you. Please remember: • Snowplows move at much slower speeds than other vehicles. On the highway, snowplows normally don’t travel faster than 60 km/hour when plowing or spreading winter abrasives. • Drivers may not be aware that plows are wide and can extend across the center 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 spinners 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. To report accidents and unsafe road conditions, please use Mainroad’s 24 hour hotline at 1.800.665.4929.

Turkey: Seventeen Seconds T he key fact is that the Russian plane, by Turkey’s own admission, was in Turkish airspace for precisely seventeen seconds. That’s a little less time than it takes to read this paragraph aloud. The Turks shot it down anyway – and their allies publicly backed them, as loyal allies must. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg declared: “We stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our NATO ally, Turkey.” President Barack Obama called his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to assure him that the United States supported Turkey’s right to defend its sovereignty. But privately, they must have been cursing Erdogan. They know what he’s up to. This is the first time in more than fifty years that a NATO plane has shot down a Russian plane, and it happened in very suspicious circumstances. Even if Turkish radar data is to be believed, the two Russian SU-24s only crossed the bottom of a very narrow appendix of Turkish territory that dangles down into Syria. As Russian President Vladimir Putin said: “Our pilots, planes did not threaten Turkish territory in any way. ” What harm could they have done in seventeen seconds? Moreover, the two Turkish F-16s that brought one of the Russian planes down had only seventeen seconds to get into position to fire their air-to-air missiles over Turkish territory. It would have been hard to do, in that confined space, without crossing into Syrian territory themselves. According to the Russian radar data, it was the Turkish planes that crossed into Syrian territory. In this version of the story, the Russian planes were following a well-established route just south of the Turkish border, probably turning into a
bomb run against Syrian rebels in Latakia province. How strange that there was a Turkish TV crew in northern Syria, positioned just right to film the incident. (The Russsian plane crashed 4 km. inside Syria.) Either way, it seems quite clear that President Erdogan really wanted to shoot down a Russian aircraft, and that the Turkish pilots were under orders to do so if they could find even the slightest pretext. So why would Erdogan want to do that? President Putin said bitterly that Erdogan and his colleagues were “accomplices of terrorists”. That’s hard to deny: ErdoGwynne gan is so eager to see Syria’s President Bashar Dyer al-Assad overthrown that he left the Turkish-Syrian border open for four years so that recruits and supplies could reach the Syrian rebel groups, notably including Islamic State (IS). Putin also observed that “We have long been recording the movement of a large amount of oil and petroleum products to Turkey from IS-occupied territories. This explains the significant funding the terrorists are receiving.” Black-market oil is Islamic State’s largest source of revenue, and almost all of it goes to Turkey – which could not happen without the Turkish government’s active connivance. And when the Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, was driving Assad’s forces back in northwestern Syria last spring, Turkey jammed the Syrian army’s telecommunications to help the rebels win. Erdogan is utterly determined that Assad must go, and he doesn’t really care if Assad’s successors are Islamist extremists. But he also wants to ensure that there is no new Kurdish state on Turkey’s southern border. That is a problem for him, because that
state already exists in embryo. It is called Rojava, a territory that the Syrian Kurds have carved out in the far north of the country along the Turkish border, mainly by fighting Islamic State. Indeed, the Syrian Kurds are the US-led coalition’s only effective ally on the ground against IS. When Erdogan committed the Turkish air force to the Syrian war in July, he explained it to the United States as a decision to fight against Islamic State, but in fact Turkey has made only a token handful of strikes against IS. Almost all Erdogan’s bombs have actually fallen on the Turkish Kurds of the PKK (who had been observing a ceasefire with the Turkish government for the past four years), and above all on the Syrian Kurds Erdogan has two goals: to ensure the destruction of Assad’s regime, and to prevent the creation of a new Kurdish state in Syria. He was making some progress on both objectives – and then along came the Russians in September and saved the Syrian army from defeat, at least for the moment. Worse yet, Putin’s strategy turns out to be quite pragmatic, and even rather attractive to the United States despite all the ritual anti-Russian propaganda emitted by Washington. Putin wants a ceasefire in Syria that will leave everybody where they are now – except Islamic State, which they can all then concentrate on destroying. This strategy is now making some headway in the Vienna ceasefire talks, but it is utterly abhorrent to Erdogan because it would leave Assad in power in Damascus, and give the Syrian Kurds time to consolidate their new state. How can he derail this Russian-led project? Well, he could shoot down a Russian plane, and try to get a confrontation going between Russia and NATO.

Opinion/Events
Time to declare war on war
I
think that history will judge the current mess in the Middle East as having been exacerbated by the United States’ response to the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. While there is no question the horrors of that day were intended to induce terror, the U.S. government had a choice to respond to the devastation as a crime or an act of war. It is hardly a surprise that a government that included the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove chose the latter. The response was not surprising, but nor was it unprecedented. Americans like their wars, even if they don’t involve attacks on Third World islands and other inferior opponents. Successive administrations have declared “wars” on crime, poverty, drugs and other flavours of the day, even appointing “czars” (an odd choice for a title if there ever was one) to lead various crusades. If the choice to craft a war-like response to the 9-11 events was predictable, the details weren’t. Invading Iraq and Afghanistan, two crappy examples of nationhood to be sure, might have had an appeal but neither mission had a direct connection to the terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabian nationals were at the controls and their financing almost certainly came from their home country, but Saudi Arabia gets the same free pass as Israel from the U.S. Both countries seem to have carte blanche to behave badly without threat of retaliation from their buddies across the Atlantic.

By labelling the air attacks an act of war, the U.S. (and its allies) gave instant credibility to all the misfits and miscreants who see no future in building their own countries up, and so seek to tear others down. Being classed as warriors instead of crooks played right into their hands, giving them a cachet amongst their own and elevating the fear of citizens around the world. As radicals in largely Lorne impoverished countries Eckersley work to recruit others to their cause of dismantling the western world, their prospects improve dramatically when they promote their actions as a call to war. It wouldn’t be as fashionable to join up with a bunch of seedy criminals as it is go to war and fight for a cause in the name of Islam. As brighter minds than me have pointed out recently, Islam is not the problem democracies have to be concerned with. Most major religions have been used over the course of history as an excuse to kill others. Christianity is no exception. If the choice had been to respond to terrorism as criminal activity, the buildup that led to ISIS might not have come so easily. If there really is some kind of sick belief that blowing up oneself and others creates a path to the hereafter, it doesn’t seem likely that it would have become so widespread if we in the west viewed them as criminals. At every step of the way since 9-11, the western response has rewarded the radicals. They want to be seen as martyrs and
they want us to be anti-Islam. It feeds their own pathetic worldview and tells them that they are on the right path. We did, after all, fall hook, line and sinker for the rhetoric of our own leaders when we were told about “weapons of mass destruction” (as if nuclear arms don’t qualify) and some actually believed George W. Bush’s assertion that Iraqis would greet invading troops with bouquets of flowers as we worked to “win their hearts and minds”. So now we have this roving state we call ISIS, in which terrorists commit unspeakable crimes (yes, crimes) against what we mistakenly believe to be their own people on a mission that really has no goal other than to disrupt and create havoc. Heck, if I was living in squalor and misery with no hope for a better future, it wouldn’t take much to rouse me to a level of hatred against those whose lives are luxurious by comparison, and not devoid of hope. The saddest evidence that our own “war on terror” has backfired is in the response by those who decry taking in refugees, claiming it puts us at risk of the ne’erdo-wells who blow things and people up in the name of Allah. The same knuckleheads who think that free trade is OK even if it reduces a signatory country’s own sovereignty suddenly get all huffy and paranoid about people who fear for their own lives in ways we cannot even imagine. Game and set to the terrorists. We are going to have to get a lot smarter, and not meaner, if we want to have any hope of winning the match.

In the last month I was also in Ottawa for five days participating in an intensive orientation focused on finance and admin and the non-parliamentary aspects of being an MP. We are given a budget that includes staff salaries, office leases, providing information to constituents, in-riding travel, etc. If we go over it we pay for it out of our own pockets! On average we spend over six months of the year in Ottawa participating in Parliament and other national responsibilities (for example I am the NDP critic for National Parks) so I also have to find accommodation in Ottawa. The balance of the year is spent traveling around the riding meeting with constituents. Our job as the Progressive Opposition is to make government and Canada better, and that is exactly what we will do! Parliament begins on December 3 and continues until December 11 before breaking for Christmas. My next update will include a look at what it’s like to sit in the House of Commons as your MP.

Short-handed Ice fall to division-leading Rebels
Hosts hang tight for two periods before big-bodied visitors claim victory Wednesday at Western Financial Place Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
For 40 minutes, the Kootenay Ice managed to go toe to toe, blow for blow with the WHL’s Central Division-leading Red Deer Rebels. But 40 minutes doesn’t make a hockey game as the Rebels skated out of Cranbrook with a 5-2 victory Wednesday night. “We made it harder than it needed to be,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Wednesday night. “Our compete level was there. “No one quit. No one gave up. We kept fighting there.” No one would’ve blamed Pierce’s squad if they had folded the tent midway through the second period. After Rebels centre Lane Pederson struck in the first period to open the scoring, the visitors banged home two tallies in a span of 1:49 midway through the second to take what should have been a commanding 3-0 lead. What appeared to be broken plays in the offensive end of the rink ended up as goals for Red Deer as both Ivan Nikolishin and Jeff de Wit capitalized on loose pucks sliding in near the blue paint of Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. For an Ice squad that has struggled to score this season -- the team’s 53 goals through 25 games ranks only ahead of the Everett Silvertips’ 52 goals (in 21 games) -a three-goal deficit very well could’ve meant the end of the night, especially considering the likes of captain Luke Philp along with snipers Jaedon Descheneau and Zak Zborosky were amongst the wounded. But rather than roll over, the beaten, blackand-blue Kootenay Ice found a way to battle back into the contest. Veteran Matt Alfaro served as the first spark for the Ice. Parked at the side of the net, the 19-year-old centre collected a rebound, burying it past a helpless Trevor Martin on the man advantage to get the hosts on the

board with 4:58 remaining in the middle period. Sophomore forward Vince Loschiavo was an offensive catalyst, nabbing the primary assist on Alfaro’s power-play tally before getting in on the goal-scoring action himself. Only 69 seconds elapsed off the clock following Alfaro’s marker before Loschiavo snapped home a quick shot and suddenly, the visiting Rebels found themselves clinging to a one-goal lead as the Ice pressed. “For the most part, I thought our effort was really good,” Loschiavo said after finish up with a goal and an assist Wednesday. “We played a hard-fought game, especially with some of our key guys out of the lineup. “We have a really hard-working group. We’ve been down before. We just knew once we got one that we could come back. We got within one and just couldn’t get one more in the third [period].” The third period rolled around and the big-bodied Rebels showed why they will be tough to beat when hosting the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup. A questionable boarding call on former Rebels defenceman and Kootenay Ice import Mario Grman made a tall task even tougher less than five minutes into the final period. Led by the big-bodied presence of 6-foot-3, 196-pound Adam Musil, the Rebels showed why they will be tough to beat
when the time comes to host the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup. Musil, an 18-year-old prospect of the St. Louis Blues, parked himself on Hoflin’s doorstep and cleaned up a loose puck only 26 seconds into the man advantage and the Rebels extended the lead to 4-2. Less than five minutes later with Ice winger Austin Wellsby serving a slashing minor, the big Musil went right back to his office where he found another re-

They capitalize on that and it kind of put the nail in us.” Between the pipes, Martin turned aside 19 of the 21 shots directed his way for his fifth victory of the season. At the other end of the rink, the 20-year-old Hoflin was once again busy as he made 41 stops on 46 shots. Wednesday’s loss marked the third time this season the native of Spruce Grove, Alta., has

The veteran netminder previously saw 46 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers on Oct. 16 and shortly after weathered a 43-shot barrage from the Tigers in a 4-3 victory on Nov. 6. To call the Kootenay Ice (6-17-2-0) battered at this point is an understatement. Pierce was left with nine regular forwards available for use Wednesday, rounding out the forward group to 10 bodies with Bryan Allbee -- typically a defenceman -- who served as the team’s second-line left winger. “I told the guys, ‘You’re all being held to a higher standard because you’re all topnine guys,’” Pierce said. “That’s as many forwards as you have. You want those minutes, you want to play in that role -- everybody does. But that comes with a little bit of added pressure and expectation. “Bryan has some offensive touch to his game and obviously we need that. He can make good reads offensively and I think he understands the game plan that way, too. It’s a huge sacrifice from Bryan and
that’s what we’re going to need from lots of guys on our team.” Wednesday’s loss snapped a modest twogame winning streak for the Ice, who jump on the bus to visit the Lethbridge Hurricanes (149-0-0) Thursday at 7 p.m. “We’ve got to remember [Wednesday] when we had success we followed the plan,” Pierce said, looking ahead to Thursday’s tilt in Lethbridge. “Nobody’s looking for style points here. We have to understand that. It’s not going to be pretty, but we need to expect to win games. “If you approach it thinking you’ve already lost the game. You may as well not even get off the bus. To me, we expect to win. It doesn’t need to be pretty and it probably can’t be pretty, but we’ve got to remember the things that led to success [Wednesday].” The Rebels (17-8-0-0) set off for Medicine Hat, where they take on the Tigers Friday evening.

Avalanche men split weekend to maintain mid-pack standing Lady Avalanche also earn split with University of the Fraser Valley Cascades as PACWEST season progresses
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volleyball team (4-4) maintained its mid-pack standing in the competitive PACWEST Conference this past weekend, earning a two-match split with the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades (5-5). The Avs started the weekend off on the right foot with a 3-1 victory (25-21, 25-16, 21-25, 2523) over the Cascades. Outsider hitter Patrik Toze was a key cog throughout the weekend, earning Avalanche Athlete of the Week honours. The 6-foot-5 native of Queensland, Australia, landed 13 kills along with two blocks and one service ace en route to Friday’s 3-1 win.
Middle blocker Spencer Janzen helped lead the way for the Avs, crushing 11 kills and getting up for five blocks over the course of the match. Saturday, Toze continued his strong play, getting up for seven kills in a 3-0 loss (20-25, 2325, 17-25) to the Cascades. After six weeks of PACWEST action, Toze is off to an electric start, sitting fourth in the conference in overall offense (103 kills, 10 aces, 125 total offense). Brazilian import Julio Lins led the way for the Avalanche on Saturday, landing 12 kills. On the other side of the net, outside hitter Joel Kleingeltink powered the Cascades with 13 kills and two service aces in Saturday’s triumph. The Avalanche will
look to continue their climb up the PACWEST standings this week as they close out the first half of the season on the road. Thursday and Friday evening, the fourthplace Avs visit the sixthplace Vancouver Island University Mariners (4-6) before carrying on to play the first-place Camosun College Chargers (10-0) Saturday and Sunday. PACWEST Men’s Standings 1) Camosun College (10-0, 20 points); 2) Douglas College (7-3, 14); 3) University of the Fraser Valley (5-5, 10); 4) College of the Rockies (4-4, 8); 5) Capilano University (4-6, 8); 6) Vancouver Island University (4-6, 8); 7) Columbia Bible College (0-10, 0)
Lady Avs keep pace in PACWEST Taylor Rocc a
The College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s volleyball squad (2-6) did its best to keep pace in the tight PACWEST race this past weekend, battling to a hard-fought split with the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades (3-7). The Cascades showed no signs of sluggishness after making the trek to Cranbrook fro the Lower Mainland, claiming a 3-1 victory (14-25, 25-21, 25-20, 2518) to open the weekend Friday night. Cascades outsider hitter Kelly Robertson was lethal in the win, claiming 13 kills and throwing up three blocks to boost her club. On the other side of the net, outsider hitter Kelsey Thompson land-
ed an impressive 18 kills to lead the attack for the Lady Avs. Middle blocker Kennedy Koop played a vital role all weekend, earning Avalanche Athlete of the Week honours. Friday, the 5-foot-11 first-year from Niverville, Man., scored five kills and six blocks, before working in three kills and four blocks Saturday afternoon as the Lady Avs rallied from Friday’s defeat for a 3-2 victory (25-19, 19-25, 25-11, 23-25, 15-13). Saturday’s contest was a back-and-forth affair between the Lady Avs and Cascades, with the fifth and deciding set featuring a few nail-biting rallies before the hosts finally closed it out. Heading into the final week of PACWEST play before the holiday
break, the Lady Avs sit sixth in the congested conference standings. They will look to make a push up the ladder this weekend as they visit the Vancouver Island University Mariners (8-2) Thursday and Friday, before closing out the semester against the Camosun College Chargers (7-3) Saturday and Sunday. PACWEST Women’s Standings 1) Vancouver Island University (8-2, 16 points); 2) Capilano University (7-3, 14); 3) Camosun College (7-3, 14); 4) Douglas College (5-5, 10); 5) University of the Fraser Valley (3-7, 6); 6) College of the Rockies (2-6, 4); 7) Columbia Bible College (2-8, 4)
Montreal Canadiens sign general manager Marc Bergevin to long-term extension CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens rewarded Marc Bergevin’s efforts to make the Montreal Canadiens a Stanley Cup contender with a longterm contract extension. The Canadiens announced Wednesday they signed their general manager and executive vice president to an extension through the end of the 2021-22 season. The Canadiens have made the playoffs in three straight seasons
under Bergevin’s watch, reaching the Eastern Conference final in 2013-14 and finishing second overall in the regular season before falling in the second round of playoffs last season. Bergevin joined the Canadiens from the Chicago Blackhawks organization on May 2, 2012, taking over a team that had only 78 points in 201112 under Pierre Gauthier. The Canadiens have posted a 14168-25 record under Bergevin, ranking third in the NHL in wins over that span.

Another day, another Western Hockey League debut
Injury situation in Cranbrook provides another opportunity for another young Kootenay Ice prospect as Barley debuts Taylor Rocc a
Not every player finds a smooth flight to the Western Hockey League and for Connor Barley, that was definitely the case this past week. Recalled by the Kootenay Ice, the 17-year-old Barley arrived in Cranbrook Tuesday but not until he experienced a trying adventure on his 1,550-km trek across the Canadian prairies. Hailing from St. Andrews, Man., and toiling with the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), Barley had a fair bit of ground to cover after his services were requested by Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. With a bitter winter storm rolling across western Canada, turbulence was to be expected and it almost grounded Barley from making his WHL debut. “My first flight was very good -- arrived on time, landed on time,” Barley said Wednesday night. If only it was all that easy. After arriving in Calgary, the 6-foot, 174-pound energy winger from small-town Manitoba suddenly found
himself stranded in the big city at the Calgary International Airport. “Flight after flight was cancelled and delayed,” Barley said. “I ended up being at the airport for 4.5 hours before my flight took off, but once I landed it was good.” There should be an asterisk beside “good” as the former seventh-round WHL bantam draft pick (2013, 141st overall) arrived in Cranbrook but his hockey gear didn’t. Though the hockey gods haven’t shown much mercy towards the Kootenay Ice in recent weeks -- six skaters are out due to a rash of injuries -- there was benevolence Tuesday as Barley’s gear eventually arrived and he was able to practice with his ahead of his WHL debut. With the damaged goods piling up in Cranbrook, Barley was the next beneficiary -- the second Ice affiliate to make his WHL debut this week -- after 15-year-old Eli Lieffers took the dive into his major junior baptism over the weekend. “At first, I was very ner-
vous but as the game went on I started to relax and get into my game,” Barley said. “That’s all I had to do -- just play my game.” The speedy winger cycled through the lineup Wednesday, with Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce cobbling together a makeshift group featuring 10 forwards, one of which was regular defenceman Bryan Allbee. While his ice time may have been limited due to circumstance in a 5-2 loss to the Red Deer Rebels, Barley was definitely noticeable on the ice -- and not just because of his Troy Polamalu-esque flow. In the third period, Barley took a feed from Austin Wellsby after getting into a quality scoring position, but couldn’t quite find the back of the net behind Rebels goaltender Trevor Martin. “The speed’s there, he can skate with everybody,” Pierce said. “He will get more comfortable as the week goes on.” Barley is no stranger to the offensive side of the game as he’s tallied seven
goals and 10 points in 20 games with the Junior ‘A’ Steelers this season after putting up 19 goals and 38 points in 43 games with the Winnipeg ‘AAA’ Thrashers last season. After a tenuous solo travel experience from Manitoba to Cranbrook, Barley will be on the bus with the rest of the boys as the Kootenay Ice travel to Lethbridge to face the Hurricanes Thursday. With one game of WHL experience under his belt, Barley is looking forward to helping his team get back into the win column. “Back at home, the game is a little slower,” Barley said. “Once you get out here, the play is always moving. Guys are always skating. It’s hard to keep up. “I’m just trying to play my game. That’s the reason why I’m here. My skating, my shot -- I just have to use it to my advantage and not try to play outside Gerry Frederick Photo/gerryfrederickphotography.com my range of skill. Just keep Affiliate forward Connor Barley (#20) made his WHL debut with it simple and try to help the Kootenay Ice in a 5-2 loss to the Red Deer Rebels Wednesday. the team as best I can.”
YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, November 26th, 2015 PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE - PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN 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.

ICE FORMING ON LOCAL WATER BODIES; CITY URGES RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN TO USE CAUTION The ice is just beginning to form on both lakes at Idlewild Park and Elizabeth Lake, Joseph Creek and other local water bodies. 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. Free public skating is also available all winter long at the Kinsmen Arena sponsored by the Kin Club of Cranbrook. There is also Parent/Tot and Senior skating at the Memorial Arena and NonInstructional Day skates at Western Financial Place. Visit http://westernfinancialplace.ca/ services/public-skating/ for details or contact Leisure Service at 489-0220.
HELP KEEP CITY CLEAR OF ICE & SNOW THIS WINTER
PUBLIC WORKS UNDERTAKING TREE PRUNING IN ALLEYS THIS WINTER
To help keep the public safe and mobile during the winter months, the City is asking residents and businesses to help out by keeping streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice. Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of Public Works, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business. Avoiding leaving your vehicle parked on the street during snowfalls wherever possible will also help make clearing the streets easier for City plows. Residents are also asked to please avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by. For more information about how the City clears the streets and why decisions are made the way they are, priority route maps and more, please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca, and click on ‘Snow Removal Information’ listed under City of Cranbrook Links on the homepage.
To best ensure free flow of traffic through alleys around the City, especially for City garbage trucks, Public Works staff will be busy pruning trees off and on through the winter months. Public Works will only be pruning to the property line and where possible will be using proper pruning techniques, but will not cross the property line to make a proper cut. Any vegetation on the City side of the property line will be pruned; however staff will use their best judgement and only prune what is needed. If you wish to have your landscape maintained to a higher degree, you must do the pruning yourself or hire a professional. If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 250-489-0218.
SNOW REMOVAL – ON STREET PARKING During snow events in the winter months, City of Cranbrook crews and contractors will be out busy clearing the streets. Residents are encouraged to avoid parking their vehicles on the street if possible, as the City of Cranbrook will not be responsible for vehicle damage caused by snow removal operations.

Because of the strong, diverse and growing economy and a third straight balanced budget, this government is able to invest and increase patient access to MRI procedures.

RATIFICATION OF TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP KEY TO CANADA’S SUCCESS IN ASIA
By David D. Hull, Executive Director
Climate Change

The climate is always changing.

anada must seize the opportunity represented by the rapid growth of the Asian economy, and the next step is the ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce told the Canadian government today. “Canada is losing market share in the fastest-growing region of the world. Turning this situation around requires an ambitious trade strategy that plays to our advantages in areas like energy, information and biotechnology, advanced manufacturing and agri-food. The TPP covers all of these areas, and what we need to now is to put it in place,” said Canadian Chamber President and CEO Perrin Beatty. Speaking after a CEO roundtable with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland held during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in the Philippines, Mr. Beatty said he stressed that two key priorities for the government must be to ratify the TPP and to build the infrastructure that’s needed to get Canadian resources to our customers around the world.
T
he political climate has taken some dramatic shifts in Canada in 2015. Hell froze over with the NDP being elected with a large majority in Alberta. There was a shifting of glaciers with the Conservatives being moved and stirring up some political till in its path while a new spring has dawned with Justin Trudeau blossoming onto the political stage. The climate on the blue planet is also always changing. Some say “warming” some say “change” but the reality is that man’s industrialized influence has certainly not being the best for the planet. In the timeline of the planet man has being been here but for a minute. And the amount of time that mankind has treated the earth rather poorly has been but a second. At the time of industrialization it could be said we did not understand the consequences of our activities. We certainly do now. In December, Prime Minister Trudeau will lead a delegation, including the premiers, to the UN climate change conference in Paris (COP21). At the conference, representatives from almost 200 nations will attempt to negotiate a new global agreement on climate change that focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels. Most countries, including Canada, have publicly submitted their climate change action plans in advance of COP21. Canada’s is challenging enough—a 30% decline in emissions (from 2005 levels) by 2030. But the new government has said it will be even more aggressive.
What does this mean for business? The sweeping nature of the national plan that will be needed to meet Canada’s target is daunting, and Canadian business will face many serious challenges as it is deployed. A federal climate change policy will present both costs and opportunities, and some sectors will be more affected than others. COP21 aims for an agreement that sets binding emissions targets for nations, but there is little discussion on ‘how’ countries will achieve their targets. In fact, the draft COP21 text includes virtually no reference to business or carbon markets. Once targets are set, governments will need to craft policies to meet those targets. In order to curb emissions, you need to reduce fossil fuel use or develop technologies to reduce emissions. The chamber network has long supported action on climate change. At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce most recent AGM, over 98% of delegates voted in support of a resolution “to establish and reach a GHG emission reduction target by 2050” and adopt carbon pricing mechanisms to achieve this target. The resolution also states that these mechanisms must consider competing jurisdictions and the impact on Canada’s global competitiveness. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, of which Cranbrook is a member, will have representatives at COP21 and will be monitoring negotiations and reporting back on key developments and how they might affect the Canadian economy. Stayed tuned, the climate is always changing.
“The TPP will give Canadian companies better access to a market worth trillions of dollars a year and create new job opportunities. It’s also a chance to work with our NAFTA partners and shape the way business competes for decades to come,” said Mr. Beatty. “Having reviewed the TPP text, we’re convinced this agreement is a net gain for Canada. But to take full advantage of the opportunities the TPP represents, we need to have the necessary trade-enabling infrastructure, including pipelines, in place. This should be the first area of focus in the government’s infrastructure plan since it will have the largest immediate and longterm benefits for the economy,” said Mr. Beatty. At the Canadian Chamber’s annual meeting in Ottawa last month, delegates from chambers of commerce across the country endorsed a policy resolution calling on Canada to implement the TPP and to expand trade ties with China, India and Southeast Asia. The TPP eliminates nearly all tariffs on Canadian imports and exports with member economies. It provides predictable market access for services, provisions for the movement of business people and rules on investment protection, intellectual property, e-commerce and state-owned enterprises that reflect Canada’s economic model. The agreement provides protection and safeguards for sensitive products and enforceable disciplines on labour and environmental standards, making it one of the most cutting-edge and sustainable trade agreements ever negotiated. “We look forward to helping the government assess its full impact and develop plans for affected industries. Every time you open your market, there will be challenges but , with the right measures, we can tackle them,” said Mr. Beatty. The APEC Summit took place November 18-19 in Manila. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and several of its members attended the APEC CEO Summit, where Mr. Beatty delivered remarks and met with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines. The TPP creates a common economic area covering 12 countries, 40% of the global economy and over 800 million customers. Earlier this week, the APEC Business Advisory Council—the official industry voice at the Summit—called on TPP members to ratify the agreement and open the door for others in the region. Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan are among those who have asked to join. G. Will Dubreuil is the Director, Public Affairs and Media Relations with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce

Local Economic Development
C
ontributing to the development and implementation of a clear economic development strategy for Cranbrook and district is one of the key priorities identified in the Chamber’s annual work plan. To that end, we recently hosted a forum for community leaders, with the goal of facilitating an open discussion on what “local economic development” could look like in our region. The forum was attended by more than 60 individuals, representing a good cross-section of East and West Kootenay communities, and included elected municipal officials, business owners, community organizations and a good number of Chamber directors. The discussion revealed that we all
have fairly similar views of the issues and opportunities, but in some cases differing perspectives on the possibilities and outcomes based on the size and location of our community. So what exactly is local economic development and why should it matter? According to the Urban Development Unit of the World Bank, the purpose of local economic development (LED) is to build up the economic capacity of a local area to improve its economic future and to improve the quality of life for all. It is a process by which public, business and non-governmental sector partners work collectively to create better conditions for economic growth and employment generation.
Every town, city and community has unique local conditions that either help or hinder its economic development. These conditions will form the basis for designing and implementing a local economic development strategy. To build a strong local economy, good practice tells us that each community should undertake a collaborative, strategically planned process to understand, and then act upon, its own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The key words here are “collectively” and “collaborative”. While it’s true that successful private enterprises create most of the wealth, jobs and improved living standards in communities, this cannot be accomplished unless local
governments, through appropriate policies and procedures, create favorable environments for business success and job creation, and there are active and engaged community-based organizations to provide the necessary services and support. This is precisely why we invited leaders from local and neighbouring municipal government, business and community organizations to participate in the forum, and why we’ll continue to work with these partners to pursue the next steps in the development of a functional and effective model of local economic development. If you’d like to be involved in the process, please contact the Chamber office. Submitted by David Struthers

Your credit score is essentially your passport to financial opportunities. With a possible range of 300 to 900, your number tells lenders what kind of a risk you are likely to be as a borrower. A low credit score can prevent you from getting the lowest mortgage rate, or even from getting a mortgage at all. That’s why it’s important to know the six credit behaviors that can keep your score high, or give it a boost! 1. Know what you’re working with. Get a copy of your report and see what your lender sees. Credit reports can be ordered for free through the mail or, for a small fee, downloaded from www.equifax.ca. 2. On time, all the time. The single biggest factor in your credit score is having a timely bill payment history. Start today with a commitment to never let a bill get past due.
4. A longer history is better. Don’t cancel your oldest credit card. In fact, get advice before you cancel any cards. A long steady history of using cards responsibly demonstrates trustworthiness. 5. Be selective. When you’re asked “would you like to apply for our Store Card to save $X dollars on your purchase?” Don’t do it. These pitches can be a credit pitfall. Regularly looking for more credit will flag you as a potential credit risk. 6. Keep it balanced. Creditors like to see that you can handle a wide variety of credit types. 3. Know your limits. Your credit score is based on your balances relative to your available credit. Look at your credit limits and try not to use more than half of the available amount.
I would be happy to review your situation. If you need to improve your score, I can outline your best options for credit improvement. If you want to get a mortgage while you work on bettering your score, I can also advise how that may be possible.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A relative peacefulness comes with your day. You might aggravate yourself over some minor details, but others will work with you to get past them. A parent, friend or relative will give up his or her strong stance for now. Communication flourishes. Tonight: Very cozy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep communication open. Be willing to handle some last-minute events or problems that pop up from out of the blue. Someone who usually is not around could be difficult, and might need your attention. Don’t take his or her attitude personally. Tonight: Pitch in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be exhausted by the end of the day. Somehow you will find a way to revive yourself. A friend who surprises you might be a source of irritation at the moment. Know that this response has more to do with you than the person. Tonight: The odds are with you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to the words that are shared behind the scenes. Your ability to understand where others come from marks your decisions. You might opt to play it low-key. Others will respond accordingly, and they are likely to reveal their feelings. Tonight: Try to squeeze in some sleep. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be quite imaginative when dealing with a child or loved one. Have a conversation with someone very close to you, as he or she needs to know that you care. You might feel as if you have only so much time and energy. Tonight: Catch up on news. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if you have to handle yourself well. Others want to know the real you. A partner or loved one could confuse you by sending you mixed signals. Don’t worry so much; this haze soon will disappear. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one whom you have not seen lately. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be having a difficult
Tundra
time understanding someone’s reaction. Resist personalizing this person’s response. Make sure that you accurately interpret what is going on. A loved one is unpredictable. Tonight: Make calls. Listen to others describe their Thanksgiving. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating takes over. The unexpected is likely to occur in your plans; be ready to make a quick adjustment. Confusion seems to surround communication. You might feel as though someone is speaking a foreign language! Tonight: Let a friend choose where and when. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Do whatever you must in order to have the flexibility you desire. You might be tired of constant changes and new plans. Roll with the moment, and trust that everything will work out fine. Be aware of your finances. Be more in sync with what is occurring. Tonight: Lighten up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your imagination takes you to a new level of understanding. Honor a change of pace
when an older family member appears. How you celebrate your Thanksgiving is subject to change. Remain sensitive to what is happening with others. Tonight: Plan on pitching in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and observe what is happening within your immediate circle. You could be surprised by someone’s action. This person could be a neighbor or someone with whom you interact daily. Greet the unexpected with a smile. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be sensitive to a family member’s needs. Know that you can do only so much to help change this person’s mood. You know which way to go, so follow your instincts. Use caution with your funds; otherwise, you could have a problem. Tonight: Happiest at home. BORN TODAY Cartoonist Charles Schulz (1922), singer Tina Turner (1939), playwright Eugene Ionesco (1909)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A while back you printed a letter from “Desperate Times,” a disabled single mother of two. She said her parents offered to buy her a house, but her sister tried to block it, even though she was married and well-off. I have two sisters and a brother. My brother had a heart transplant 25 years ago. He had four children and was inundated with medical bills. Our parents bought a house for our brother and his family to live in. As our parents grew older, I suggested they give the house to my brother now, not as part of his inheritance later. Mom said it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of us. She explained that a few years before, she and Dad wanted to give our brother $1,000, but didn’t feel it fair unless they gave the same amount to all of us. I remember how grateful I was, since it took two years off of our very young mortgage. I reminded Mom that they had always been there for each one of us kids when we needed them, and each one of us needed them in different ways. That’s what fair is. My sisters agreed that my brother and his wife should have the house. When our parents died and we had to divide up their belongings, there was no greediness or resentment. It became part of our dealing with the grief we also shared. How thankful I am not to have selfish, jealous siblings. -- Grateful Sister and Daughter Dear Grateful: Your letter is a good fit for Thanksgiving Day, when we all should take a look at our blessings. Here’s a poem we have printed in the past that might remind everyone of these things: “Things to Be Thankful For” (Author Unknown) Be thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means you have enough to eat. Be thankful for the mess you clean up after a party, because it means you have been surrounded by friends. Be thankful for the taxes you pay, because it means that you are employed. Be thankful that your lawn needs mowing and your windows need fixing, because it means you have a home. Be thankful for your heating bill, because it means you are warm. Be thankful for the laundry, because it means you have clothes to wear. Be thankful for the lady who sings offkey behind you in church, because it means you can hear. Be thankful people complain about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech. Be thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means you’re alive.

DICKESON, Paul Mill 1932 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mountains are calling and I must goâ&#x20AC;? John Muir.
On the afternoon of Sunday, November 15, 2015, Paul Mill Dickeson died at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 83 years. Paul was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia on September 30, 1932. He leaves to cherish his memory his dearly loved wife of 56 years, Maggie, his three children; Holly (Mark), Ian (Niki) and Kirst, four grandchildren; Craig, Eric, Connor and Chloe and his two beloved dogs.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I turn to sports with Taylor Rocca.â&#x20AC;?
Paul was an avid outdoorsman who thrived in his passion to hike and ski in the mountains. He found great solace and peace while in the hills and taught us to appreciate and love the beauty of this area. We will remember him for his kindness, strength, compassion and booming laugh. Paul was a well-respected teacher at Mount Baker Secondary School and was loved by many of his students. He was the epitome of the phrase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a gentleman and a scholarâ&#x20AC;?. He will be deeply missed by many. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to pay your respects to Paul, he will be on Windy Pass in the summer.

‘The Optimist’ an hallucinatory work of art Wild Drama production runs Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 26-28 at Key City Theatre
Barry Coulter
M
ary Hamilton, Drama instructor at Mount Baker Secondary School, and a new group of student performers, set out this fall to create a dramatic piece from scratch — chasing ideas, creating characters, and putting them all together. Buster Keaton, the great physical comedian from Hollywood’s silent era, was to be their guiding spirit. The result is “The Optimist,” a hallucinatory work of art where silent film meets the Theatre of the Absurd. It opens tonight, Thursday, Nov. 26, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. Buster Keaton is present — in fact he is to serve as our guide, until he gets distracted by ongoing combat with his rival for love. But “The Optimist” could also a great homage to the 1920s Paris of the surrealists. I could swear Jean Cocteau and Luis Bunuel are among the characters — and certainly Edith Piaf makes an appearance. And the backing music to this “silent film” — created by a band of various members of the cast — is anchored by an accordion playing in the Parisian style. The actors — most of them new to the Wild Drama stage — have created a dreamscape city peopled by inhabitants from all walks of life, some of them swashbuckling and larger than life, some of them struggling with loneliness and frustration. “The Optimist” is a world of in-between, like being stuck in a dream that suddenly explodes into conflict, then settles back into stillness and reverie. But not for long. “The Optimist,” created by the performers themselves, is a colourful and original piece of theatre that carries on with the bold adventures Wild Drama has taken on in recent years. It features Lukas Pump, Nathaniel Ralph, Jordyn Walker, Cameron Sperling, Laura Louw, Hayley Anderson, Presley Armstrong, Emily Orza, Geneve Miller, Manon Metzger, Michaela Eckersley, Jagur Chung, Brea McCormack, Kelsey Thompson, Claudia Royo, Amina Kabe, Emily Penner, Fabian Ernst, Jan Janssen, Tace Bradwell and Geoffrey Drought. Mary Hamilton is Director, Frank Hackett is Acting Coach/Fight Director and Dave Hill designed the set. “The Optimist” runs Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 26-28, at the Key City Theatre.

Parks and Rec Master Plan open house Submi t ted
The City of Cranbrook has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The last plan was prepared in 1995, set the framework for many of the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, as well as the new arena and aquatic centre. The new Master Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years. Since April 2015, the community has provided input on the Plan through a variety of avenues. In addition to a community survey, the community was engaged through nine visioning workshops including two general public sessions. Citizens were also encouraged to send emails or letters. Now, a draft Master Plan has been completed and it is time to ask for your participation once more. You are invited to an open house on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 3 pm to 9 pm, at Western Financial Place to review and comment on the draft recommendations for the City of Cranbrook Parks and Recreation
Master Plan. For those unable to attend the open house event, the panels will be on display beginning in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 25th, and be up through the open house event on Thursday evening. Please drop in at your leisure, or during the hockey game to have a look. You can also view the draft Master Plan, the draft Idlewild Community Survey, the open house information panels and the open house comment form online on the City of Cranbrook website at www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Parks & Rec Master Plan’ under the ‘City of Cranbrook Links’ on the homepage. Email your comments using the open house comment form to cnew@cranbrook.ca or drop off your comments to the Leisure Services desk at Western Financial Place by Monday December 14, 2015. You can also complete the feedback form online at fluidsurveys. com/s/Cranbrook_ Parks_Rec_CommentForm/. Feedback from the community will be forwarded to the consultant for review.

“Christmas Vacation” was the only movie in the series up until then that did not feature Lindsey Buckingham’s song, “Holiday Road.”
H
oliday films hold a special place in many people’s hearts, and perhaps no holiday movie of the last 30 years has resonated as much as “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” The oft-quoted holiday favorite turned 25 years old in 2014, yet the film remains as popular as ever.
the film. In one scene of the film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which was directed by Frank Capra III’s grandfather, is on a television in the background.
Fans of “Christmas Vacation” can no doubt quote their favorite lines from the film, but the following are a few tidbits that even the most ardent “Vacation” fan might be unfamiliar with.
· “Christmas Vacation” featured a handful of “Saturday Night Live” alumni. In addition to the film’s star, Chevy Chase, SNL alums Randy Quaid, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brian Doyle-Murray appeared in the film.
· The movie is based on a story titled “Christmas 59,” which was written by the same man, John Hughes, who wrote and produced the film. The film pays homage to this story when Clark Griswold is rummaging through the attic and finds a movie reel named “Christmas 59.” · Frank Capra III worked as an assistant director on
who went on to direct “Benny & Joon” and 1998’s “The Avengers.”
· Actress Mae Questrel (Aunt Bethany) provided the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in the 1930s. “Christmas Vacation” would be her final film.
· The movie had a large budget ($27 million) for a comedy with no special effects. · Surprisingly, “Christmas Vacation” had its own sequel that few are familiar with. The made-for-television “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure” was released in 2003. · Cousin Eddie’s fashion style, in particular the sweater/Dickie combination, was the brainchild of actor Randy Quaid’s wife.
· The role of Cousin Rocky had no lines in the film.
· No part of “Christmas Vacation” takes place on Christmas Day. The film culminates with the antics that take place at the Griswold home on December 24.
· In the “Lampoon” films that preceded “Christmas Vacation,” Rusty was the older child of the Griswold clan. However, he is the younger sibling in this film. · “Christmas Vacation” marked the directorial debut for Jeremiah Chechik,
· Brian Doyle-Murray, who played Frank Shirley, is the brother of another famous comic actor: Bill Murray.

Christmas tree varieties and care
A
n evergreen tree decked out in lights and ornaments is one of the universal symbols of the holiday season. Through the centuries, people have trekked to forests, Christmas tree farms and commercial lots to pick the perfect trees for their holiday displays. The National Christmas Tree Association says more than 33 million real trees are purchased each year, making the tree business a billion-dollar industry. While there are scores of evergreen varieties, certain tree types are more popular than others and thus more available for purchase. The following are some of the more popular trees come Christmastime. · Eastern Redcedar: Branch-
es of the tree are compact and form a pyramid-shaped crown. The trees should be a dark, shiny green color. The eastern redcedar is not a true cedar tree, but a member of the juniper family. This tree can make a great cut tree with a homespun look and a pungent fragrance. · Leyland Cypress: This cypress is one of the more popular Christmas trees in the southeastern United States. The tree will be very dark green to almost gray in color. It has little aroma. Some people choose the Leyland because it does not produce sap, which is great for those with sap allergies. · Colorado Blue Spruce: An attractive blue-green foliage and a good symmetrical
form is what attracts many people to the blue spruce. The Colorado Blue Spruce has an excellent natural shape and requires little pruning to look like the perfect Christmas tree. It’s not very fragrant, but the tree needles may give off an unpleasant odor when crushed. · Scotch Pine: A classic conical shape and very good needle retention help make the Scotch pine a popular
tree to cut for the holidays. Scotch pines also are quite prevalent thanks to the tree’s adaptability to a wide range of climates. · Eastern White Pine: A delicate green color and long needles are found on this tree. Another popular pine, the rich fragrance of the white pine may make it preferable to those who like their homes to smell of evergreen.
fir is one of the foremost Christmas tree species in the United States. It has soft needles that are dark green in color. Those needles radiate in all directions from the branches to give the tree a full look. The needles, when crushed, have a sweet fragrance. Douglas firs tend to live long when cut. · Fraser Fir: Another popular fir for Christmas is the Fraser fir. The needles are bicolored, with dark green on top and silver on the
in the Gallery at Centre 64
Nothing can guarantee the health and appearance of a tree after it is brought into a home. But choosing a recently cut tree that has good needle retention can help. Here are other tips for a long-lasting tree. · Use a sharp saw to cut an
inch off of the trunk base to remove the sappy covering that forms from cutting. This will improve water intake. · Fill a tree stand reservoir with warm water. Expect the tree to drink heavily in the beginning. · Keep the reservoir filled every day and check to see how much water the tree is using. · Place the tree far from heaters or other drying sources.

ome the holiday season, shipping companies work around the clock to ensure packages, merchandise and more make it to their destinations on time. What would December holidays be without gifts under the tree?

for shipping instead of mailing them from home. Inadequate postage could stall delivery of your items and have them returned to you. · Research shipping cut-off dates. Shipping carriers often list the “last days to ship” for their services so that packages will arrive by the date you need them. This way you can plan around the cutoffs. · Sign up for membership programs. Online retailers, such as Amazon, offer expedited shipping on many products as part of their membership programs. For example, Amazon Prime-eligible products will generally arrive within two business days as part of your annual membership fee. The added cost may be well worth the peace of mind fast shipping provides. An increase in online shopping as well as families living further apart has led to a high volume of gifts being shipped around the holidays. Plan accordingly so that gifts will arrive on time.

Save energy with holiday decorations The holiday season allows people to transform their homes into wonderlands of lights, garlands and poinsettias. Each family has its own holiday traditions, and decorations are a part of many of those traditions.
last longer than incandescent bulbs, meaning you won’t have to replace them as frequently as more traditional bulbs. Furthermore, lower wattage usage means you can attach more strands of lights together safely.
Decorations might be awe-inspiring, but those that include lights often lead to substantially higher energy bills. Fortunately, there are ways for homeowners, whether they prefer subtle displays or more overthe-top arrangements, to save money and still celebrate the holiday season in style.
· Use timers. Timers can be set to turn lights on and off at specific times, ensuring lights aren’t turning on during the daytime or being left on into the night by forgetful homeowners. Timers also are a good safety precaution. A dark house that is normally lit up can advertise to thieves that no one is home. When lights turn on with a timer, it will create the illusion that it is business as usual in your residence.
· Switch to more efficient lights. A great way to ensure holiday displays consume less energy is to change the bulbs being strung. Incandescent lights can use 80 to 90 percent more energy than LED lights. Gradually replace older light strands with newer, energy-efficient LEDs. Not only do LEDs require less energy, but they also can
· Use homemade decorations. You also can save energy and money by recycling materials into holiday décor. Trim branches from trees and use them in vases for an instant wintry look. Prune an evergreen on your
property and make your own wreath with some wire and twine. Shop yard sales for gently used decorations that still have years of utility left. Sew ornaments from scraps of fabric or clothing that no longer fits. Each of these ideas reduces reliance on manufactured decorations that consume energy during production and fuel while being transported from factories to store shelves. · Rely on extension cords. You can extend the length of displays without using more lights by spacing out light strands with extension cords. Intersperse spotlights to add attention to key elements of your display as well. · Turn off interior lights. If a Christmas tree is illuminating a front window, turn off the lights in your home, as the tree may provide enough light to make a living room or den extra cozy.
Celebrate the holidays Holiday celebrations include big family gatherings and maybe even some impromptu visits from close friends. During this season of merrymaking, having a few quick snacks and drinks up your sleeve can make it easier to entertain guests. Try “Christmas Cookie,” courtesy of Mix That Drink, for a sweet and minty take on the holiday season. 1 ounce peppermint schnapps 1 ounce Kahlua 1 ounce Irish Cream liqueur Combine the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain the drink into a martini glass. Garnish with a peppermint stick, if desired.

Keep poinsettias looking great through the holidays A
long with the fragrant evergreens and twinkling lights synonymous with the holiday season, poinsettias make up a key component of holiday decorating. Unlike holly and some of the other greenery that is commonly associated with the holidays, poinsettias do not naturally thrive in the colder temperatures. These plants originate in southern Mexico and were considered an exotic plant when first introduced to the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico. Poinsettias can be fickle plants and ones that gardening novices may find
challenging to maintain. The plants are comprised of green foliage, colorful (often red) flower bracts, and the actual flowers of the plants, which are the red or green buttonlike parts nestled in the center of the bracts. Because they are a tropical plant, poinsettias can be damaged by exposure to low temperatures, even if they are only exposed for short periods of time. They should be wrapped and protected against the elements when brought home. For maximum plant life, poinsettias need to be placed near a warm, sunny window, or another area that has ample amounts of light. They thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 F and
should be kept away from warm or cold drafts. Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in water. Over- or under-watering can cause leaves to drop prematurely and wilt. If your home lacks in humidity, you may need to water the plant more frequently. Poinsettias do not need to be fertilized while the plant is in bloom. The Ohio State University Extension says poinsettias can be reflowered the following Christmas, but unless a yearlong schedule of care is observed, the results usually are not good. You can
speak with a gardening expert or consult online resources for the proper care schedule. Caring for a poinsettia year-round involves gradually drying out the plant and storing it in a cool location. The plant later will be moved outdoors and then back inside and pruned to keep a full shape. Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means they flower about 10 weeks after the daylight shortens to about 12 hours or less. Therefore, to have the plant in full flower by Christmas, it will have to be kept in complete darkness between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. from the first part of October until Thanksgiving. Many people find the affordability
of poinsettias makes it more convenient to buy new ones each year than try to foster regrowth. Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous to humans or animals, but they should not be ingested due to the potential for allergic reactions. Poinsettias can help remove pollutants from indoor air, which is advantageous during the winter months when doors and windows are typically kept closed. Select plants that have dark green foliage and no low or damaged leaves. This ensures the best success for keeping poinsettias looking healthy and vibrant throughout the holiday season.

you need to be practical. Stilettos just aren’t snow friendly. Be winter ready and go to your party in platform loafers, oxfords or a chunky pair of booties. Opt for a pair with tassel or fringe to stay on trend.

UN says it’s a record hot year, even before the year ends SE TH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Because of man-made global warming and a strong El Nino, Earth’s wild weather this year is bursting the annual heat record, the World Meteorological Organization announced on Wednesday. The U.N. weather agency’s early bird report on 2015 says it is the hottest year on record, surpassing last year’s record heat. It made the proclamation without waiting for the end of the year because it has been so extraordinarily hot, forecast to stay that way and unlikely to cool down enough to not set a record. The report comes the week before world leaders assemble in Paris to try to negotiate an agreement to fight climate change. “This is all bad news for the planet,” the agency’s secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said in a statement.
The report is not surprising: Scientists at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and elsewhere already were saying that 2015 likely would be the hottest. The U.N. agency, NOAA, NASA and Japan’s weather agency all say 2014 is the current record hot year with a global temperature of 14.57 C (58.23 F). “I would call it certain,” NOAA’s chief climate monitor, Deke Arndt, said on Tuesday. “Something gamechanging massive would have to happen for it not to be a record.” Records go back to 1880. Jarraud also said it is likely that the world has now warmed by 1 degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, over pre-industrial times. That’s a symbolic milestone: International leaders have set a goal of keeping global warming within 2 degrees C, 3.6 F, of pre-industrial times. “It’s a fair summary
of where we are,” said Gavin Schmidt, head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “2015 is going to be exceptional in many ways.” The world is warming because of heattrapping gases that come from the burning of coal, oil and gas. On top of that, El Nino, a naturally occurring climate event that starts with warm water in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, makes the world even warmer, scientists say. The report is an atlas of extreme weather, from heat waves in Pakistan and India, where high temperatures broke 45 C, or 113 F, to a record strong Hurricane Patricia in Mexico. It included heavy rains and flooding in the southern United States, Mexico, Bolivia, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and droughts in the western United States, central Europe, Russia and Southeast Asia.

Big corporate Christmas parties on the outs in Calgary as oil downturn continues IAN BICKIS CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY - The era of the big-ticket corporate holiday bash appears to be on life support in Calgary. “We produce events across North America and everywhere else we’re fine, but in Calgary we’re down 80 per cent,” said David Howard, president of The Event Group, a party planning company in the city. In the past, Howard said, he’s organized extravagant events in the city that cost upwards of a million dollars. But energy companies have since returned to reality and are spending far less - both because of budget constraints and public perceptions. This year, they’re cutting back even further or cancelling parties altogether - as layoffs and low oil prices continue to hammer the industry. “We’ve chatted with a lot of our clients and advised them on holding back this year,” Howard said. “You have a lot of oil-and-gas companies that went through a ton of layoffs, their stock prices dropped, so it really isn’t the best time right now to be doing an event.” Suncor Energy says it’s not hosting a large employee party this year but will still have regional family events, while Cenovus Energy says it’s cancelled its corporate Christmas bash entirely. “We’ve reduced all of
Downtown Calgary our discretionary spending in light of the current economic climate, so we are not holding a corporate Christmas party this year,” said Cenovus spokesman Brett Harris. Power utility Enmax has also cut its official party out of respect for customers facing tough economic times, said spokeswoman Doris Kaufmann Woodcock. The company is instead encouraging its managers to consider lowcost options like potlucks.
Some companies, however, had actually ditched the fancy company-funded holiday party well before the downturn. Both Husky Energy and Enbridge are going ahead with their usual employee-funded parties this year, while TransCanada hasn’t had a largescale Christmas party in recent years and instead leaves it up to small units within the company to decide how to celebrate. Pam McCarthy at Five Star Events says that even with the cut-
backs, it’s important that companies go ahead with some sort of event. “If they don’t do it, even in some small way, then that’s not good for morale,” McCarthy said. “So instead of a massive dinner dance with a band, they might be doing something more low-key, whether it’s a luncheon or an afterwork at a pub. Very few companies are cancelling their event altogether, they’re just doing it on a smaller scale.” Paddy Sorrenti of Sorrenti’s Catering says that he’s experiencing cancellations and a lot of downsizing of oiland-gas Christmas parties, but outside of the sector, business is still looking good. “We have a lot of non oil-and-gas clientele, and most of them are still full-tilt with their parties, but they’ve never, ever been superextravagant,” said Sorrenti. And while Calgary’s oil-and-gas industry may be cutting back, some companies in the city are still throwing big parties. Heather Lundy, director of marketing and communications for the Telus Convention Centre, says she’s seen only about a 15 per cent drop in Christmas party bookings, and the companies returning this year haven’t cut their attendance numbers or their budgets.
Historic cruise ship gets $600,000 lifeline ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA - A historic cruise ship that once carried princes and presidents has gotten a $600,000 lifeline that will save it from the scrap heap, for now. The SS United States was weeks away from being sold to a recycler when its overseers put out an SOS for funding last month. The SS United States Conservancy says it has secured a $250,000 donation, two $100,000 donations and smaller contributions from more than 800 supporters. The money will be used to continue docking the United States in Philadelphia while the conservancy negotiates with developers to convert the vessel into a mixeduse museum and development complex. The United States holds the record for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing. It became obsolete as air travel increased and was taken out of service in 1969.

It’s just not been a great sixteen years Hello everyone I hope you had a great summer. Mine was not so great because my hot water tank in the basement blew up. Well you can imagine the mess. It was very heart breaking because three quarters of my basement was all renovated. On the flip side now my entire basement has been renovated. This is why I have not been writing for the paper these past few months. I have also changed my email address if you wish to write to me and ask my guides some questions. It’s wendyeva@telus.net As my mom would say, “This shall pass to so take a deep breath and keep on trudging, Wendy.” I miss her so much. If there is anyone that had written to me over the summer and I did not respond, now you know the reasons why. I have some emails on my desk and I
will respond to the few I have left. I issue he is happy. When he finds will phone and or email each indi- out that I did not tell him the truth vidual that have asked us for help and left out some of the story he and tell them when the column, gets mad and then we have an argument. As we get which is related to older he is getting their issues, will be worse and I am at in the paper. Hopefully, that will get me ASK WENDY the end of my “tether.” What do I do or back on track and on Wendy say so I can have a regular schedule Evano some peace with again. My phone my husband. I number has not have tried, I have changed it is still gone to counselling but nothing I 250-426-2127. do seems to make him happy. I need you to ask your guides what Dear Wendy: My husband and I have been they think I should do. Feeling Strung Out married for 16 years. I want to say it has been a great 16 years but I can’t. Dear Feeling Strung Out: This man cannot stand anyone tellYou know I really like the way ing him the facts or the truth the way it is. I know it seems funny but you explained your situation to me. when I “soft soap” the reality of an I like the terms you use like “soft
soap” and “end of my tether.” It made me smile you don’t hear the old sayings like that often anymore. Okay so here’s the scoop on your issues with your husband the way we see it. Take a deep breath because you are not going to like some of my “plain talking.” I did a reading and a “spec” on this not so merry fellow. I also did a “spec” on you because I felt something was not making sense to me when I was reading your email about the communication issues you are having with your husband. First let’s talk about hubby: he has a tendency to drink too much. You forgot to mention this to us, which is a key factor with the issues you are having with him. Don’t you know that you don’t talk to a guy when he is half “sloshed” about anything because he will probably not remember half
of the conversation he has with you and the other half well with his nature he just gets mean and angry when he’s had “a few to many.” However, some people when they drink are happy; unfortunately this is not the case with your husband. Unfortunately I am running out of space for this week’s column so we will continue on with the rest of your issues in next week’s column. Wendy
For personal and over the phone consultations phone Wendy@4262127. Need my guides to answer some of your questions then email us @wendyeva@telus.net Starting a New Prayer class in January and Anxiety Disorder classes as well. If interested give me a call.
