Enrolment up in school district ARNE PETRYSHEN
School District 5 attendance has increased for the 2015/16 school year according to enrolment numbers released at the Nov. 10 school board meeting. The total number of Student Funded Full Time Equivalent spaces as of Oct. 2, 2015 was 5,349.5. The numbers include 19 schools and institutions. “We’re up 166,” Lynn Hauptman, School District 5 Superintendent, said. “That’s across the whole district, that’s not just Cranbrook. That includes Jaffray, Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford. Based on that, we do a preliminary budget every spring and we project what we believe
will be the amount of students every year.” A full time equivalent (FTE) of 1.0 equals one full-time student, while 0.5 would be a student enrolled in half the classes. Hauptman said it’s always good news when student numbers go up for the district, because their budget is based on student enrolment. The biggest change was Laurie Middle School increased enrolment by 48 students — from 298.5 in 2014, to 346.5 in 2015. Next was Kootenay Education Services, which went from 69.8 FTE in 2014, to 98.8 in 2015 — a change of 29 spaces.

Father Christmas himself made an appearance at the end of the annual Santa Claus Parade on Friday evening in downtown Cranbrook. The throng of parade floats also included an entry from the Grinch, however, it is unclear if he is planning on stealing Christmas, or if his heart has already grown three sizes. See the Daily Townsman later this week for a photo feature on the parade.
She was discarded at the dump, her legs tied together, bleeding from several wounds, not moving but alive. Her tail had been severed and she was extremely dehydrated and emaciated. Fortunately, a Good Samaritan found the black cat, named Malala, and took her straight to the East Kootenay BC SPCA Branch,
where she was immediately rushed to a veterinarian for emergency care. “She was bleeding a lot from her tail, which had been cut off, and she had several open wounds on her feet, legs and head,” says BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch manager Brenna Baker.

Cat left for dead undergoes surgery, recovering at SPCA Continued from page 1 “It horrifies me to think that someone might do something like this to any animal, then leave her at the dump, suffering and in pain, tossed away like so much trash.” The vet cleaned Malala’s wounds, performed surgery on her tail and gave her fluids. Now, she’s recovering in the warmth of the SPCA shelter, under the attention and care of staff and volunteers who hope to give her a
chance at a better life in a loving, forever home. “She is such a sweet pea and so full of love,” Baker says. “She’s got a long road to recovery, but we’re grateful to the man who spotted her at the Elko transfer station and wasted no time getting her to us.” The cost of Malala’s medical care is expected to be nearly $1,200. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies primarily on public donations to help British
Columbia’s most vulnerable animals. If you can help Malala and other animals like her at the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch, visit spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or drop off donations in person at 3339 Highway 3 and 95, Cranbrook. If anyone has any information on how Malala came to be at the Elko transfer station, they are encouraged to call the BC SPCA cruelty hotline, at 1-855-6227722.

School district enrolment up Continued from page 1 Fernie Secondary had an increase of 22 students up to 208.3. Rocky Mountain Elementary also had an increase of 22 up to 238. Rob Norum, Secretary-Treasurer for SD5, said the increased enrolment is not unexpected. “Even 10 years ago, the projection model did show that the decline would stop and we would be stable, maybe slightly increasing, so I think we might be at that point, because we did have 12 or 13 years of decline,” Norum said. He said that decline began around 1997-98 and didn’t start to turn around until 2012. “It’s a positive. We’d like to see it as a trend, but one year does not make a trend,” he said. “If it increases for the next two, three years then we would have an increasing trend. I think we’re going to see it slightly increasing over the next few years, but I think more of a stabilizing, than significant increases.” Norum said the increase follows the projection for the Kootenays. “I can’t really comment on the rest of the province, but I think
provincially there are some pockets that are increasing. A lot of the time it depends on what is happening — if it’s a mining or resource based community, like a lot of our communities, populations could fluctuate greatly up or down.” Hauptman said one example is Sparwood, where projections were lower because of the slowdown of the resource industry. In terms of schools, Norum said Isabella Dickens is full, with four portables needed to take in all the students. That solution was undertaken because it is the only elementary school in the community. Kootenay Orchards is pretty close to being full, as well as Rocky Mountain School in Elkford. In Cranbrook there is room in the elementary schools, said Hauptman. “Parents may not get into a school where they are living if they moved in late in the school year, but we do have room to accommodate students,” she said. “We won’t turn any students away.” Laurie Middle School had a
large increase. Norum said they do try to manage the intake into the two middle schools and provide enough staffing resources and sections to make it work. “We try to be as accommodating as we can to students, but if Parkland sections are filling up, then we may not allow any other transfers back to Parkland and vice-versa to Laurie.” He said they had 58 additional students coming into the middle school section from elementary, of which Laurie took the bulk. Norum said they are happy with the increases and the stability it gives them. “I think it’s more problematic to see major changes, where you’re declining rapidly or increasing rapidly,” he said. “We’ve just stopped declining and now it’s slightly increasing. It’s stable and that’s how we feel — that we have some stability and we can start not worrying about these major changes in configurations around the district.” Hauptman said it also meant they were able to add in some extra support in terms of staffing in some of the schools.

Local martial arts students mark achievements For the Townsman
Wednesday the 25th of November marked a very important date in the lives of four students at Evolution Martial Arts on 7th Ave South in Cranbrook. A culmination of years of Traditional Tae Kwon-Do training came to a crossroads in its journey to see Jennifer-Leigh Wachon, Rene Kowalchuk, and Alec Earp-Haggard not only reach their goal of 2nd degree Black Belt, but I had the privilege as their instructor and examiner to watch them own the experience. This was a transition only toppled by watching the look on Daniel (San) McGifford’s face as he reached that very special moment of achieving his 1st Degree Black Belt—because nothing really in the Martial Arts World can compare to that feeling of joy as you reach out
and grasp your very first Black Belt. The students, who are all also instructors at the club are taught that holding a Black Belt in the true spirit of Martial Arts, doesn’t mean you’re invincible, or better than anyone else, but it does shape their bodies, minds and souls into a deeper understanding of everything, and over time, belief in themselves to strive to overcome whatever life tries to throw at them. I was amazed at how each student had grown in confidence and ability since I started teaching them many years ago and even more amazed at how they had brought together many of the junior grade students in the club to perform amazing stunts while being knocked, kicked and thrown around during each self defence routine. They all participated
with enthusiasm and with the happiest of hearts to bring some awesome drama and several comical interventions to the Dojang (training hall) while keeping everyone safe from injury. Sparring is always exciting and during a Black Belt testing it is always lifted to higher level with the day being no exception. As chief instructor, I am not interested in how one person can inflict injury on another, so the students are taught from the top down that it is not important to be the toughest or best, it is only important to help each other grow in skills, confidence and fighting ability. That way, everyone grows together, and by utilising a spirit of taking care of each co-operation and taking care of each other, injury is

Cayleigh-Marie testing for second and third degree. Jenny started at age five, and also gave up early on for many years, so it was wonderful to see her do well and get back into it in her late teens. I remember when Rene started with the Cranbrook club joining with his daughter Rhiannon just to get her interested in something, and here he is five years later inspiring Rhiannon and the others in the club to keep on going and achieve their goals. To see Alec get his 2nd degree Black Belt is also a pleasure as he was one of the very first

As for Dan getting his first Black Belt, being a father of five children who all train with us, he just inspired them to always try their hardest and do their best It was a pleasure to see the transition from colour Belt to Black Belt and the joy from the achievement in his eyes.

Raise carbon tax: B.C. advisors TOM FLE TCHER Black Press
The B.C. government’s climate advisory panel wants to start increasing the province’s carbon tax with a 33 per cent jump in 2018, and says even with higher fuel tax the province won’t meet its current target to reduce greenhouse gases one third by 2020. The carbon tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since 2013, a rate that translates to about seven cents a litre on gasoline and similar taxes on diesel, natural gas and other carbon-based fuels. The government’s advisory team recommends increasing the carbon tax by $10 a tonne each year starting in 2018, with increased rebates for low-income and rural B.C. residents. Environment Minister Mary Polak released the panel’s recommendations Friday, as the B.C. delegation led by Premier Christy Clark prepares to attend the United Nations climate change meetings in Paris next week. Polak was skeptical about one of the panel’s recommendations, to cut the provincial sales tax from seven per cent to six and replace the revenues through higher
carbon taxes in the years ahead. “It is one of their recommendations, and so we’ll be looking at it along with the others, but I think at first blush, the numbers probably don’t work,” Polak said. The panel, appointed in May with industry and environmental representatives, concluded that the 2020 reduction target isn’t going to be met. It recommends a new target of a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, and says the original target of an 80 per cent cut can still be reached with “aggressive” carbon pricing and expansion of the tax to include industrial emissions. Polak said she accepts that assessment, and will consult with industry and B.C. residents before setting new poli-
cies next spring to meet the new 2030 target. NDP leader John Horgan said the Clark government has frozen the carbon tax and delayed progress on Metro Vancouver transit with a referendum they expected would fail. “Rather than reduce emissions, they’ve gone up,” Horgan said. “And we’re not even counting liquefied natural gas.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the recommendation to resume increases in the carbon tax is “bold,” but the report also shows Clark’s government gave up on the 2020 target that is still in legislation. “The key thing is that these recommendations are completely incompatible with the government’s LNG plan,” Weaver said.
East Kootenay anti-racism programs get funding FOR THE TOWNSMAN
CRANBROOK – The East Kootenay Organization for Human Dignity and Equality (EKOHDE) has received $20,000 from the B.C. government to help eliminate racism in Cranbrook and Fernie. EKOHDE is a member of the East Kootenay Humanity Network, which promotes unity in diversity in the East Kootenay and raises awareness of issues facing people of all backgrounds. “Almost 30 per cent of British Columbians emigrated from another country, making us the most ethnically diverse province in Canada,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “We want to ensure that newcomers feel a sense of belonging and acceptance in our province.” “The purpose of the network is to address racism and hate, the

twin causes of social degradation and unrest that continue to threaten communities everywhere, including those in our region,” said EKOHDE chairwoman Debbie McPhee. The East Kootenay Humanity Network uses the United Nations’ International Days as a vehicle to educate people in the region. On Oct. 16 the network marked the UN’s World Food Day and collected more than 5,700 items for food banks in Cranbrook and Fernie. The network is also using the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (Nov. 25) and the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (Aug. 9, 2016) to raise awareness and to educate people in the East Kootenay. The East Kootenay
Organization for Human Dignity and Equality is one of 14 organizations throughout British Columbia participating in B.C.’s Organizing Against Racism and Hate (OARH) program. These 14 organizations are sharing $240,000 in funding from the provincial government toward activities in 24 communities that connect area networks in their common goal of wiping out racism. This includes local outreach, educational events, workshops and community engagements. The OARH program helps communities address racism and create a long-term plan to eradicate violence, discrimination and hate in their communities.

BRITISH COLUMBIA UTILITIES COMMISSION
BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDRO AND POWER AUTHORITY W.A.C. BENNETT DAM RIPRAP UPGRADE PROJECT On November 13, 2015, British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) filed the W.A.C. Bennett Dam Riprap Upgrade Project application and statement of capital expenditures with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) for acceptance pursuant to section 44.2 of the Utilities Commission Act. The proposed W.A.C. Bennett Dam Riprap Upgrade Project (Project) will address inadequate long-term erosion protection of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam located on the Peace River approximately 18 kilometres west of the town of Hudson’s Hope. The Project involves: • replacing portions of the failed rock armour layer, also known as riprap, on the upstream face of the Dam; • development and operation of the Sand Flat quarry to source the required volume of riprap; • transportation by truck of the riprap from the Sand Flat quarry to the Dam; and • temporary stockpiling of riprap near the Dam. Quarry construction is scheduled to start in 2016 which allows for Dam construction to be completed in 2019 and reclamation of the quarry in 2020. The Project cost is estimated at $137.1 million within a range of capital expenditures from $109.7 million (-20%) to $171.4 million (+25%). BC Hydro’s customer rates would initially be impacted in 2018 and for the $137.1 million capital estimate would increase by a maximum 0.18% in 2021. The corresponding maximum rate increase is 0.14% and 0.22% for the -20% and +25% capital cost estimates respectively.

On brassieres and braziers
I
f you happen to be a man and have been forced to wait in one office or another, you have probably sought out some magazine to pass away the endless hours. However, over the past few years, I have noted a lack of manly magazines and a surfeit of such horrors as Chatelaine and Elle and, naturally, I have shunned them. After all, a male acquaintance might spot me with my nose buried in some obscure recipe or, even worse, some feminine advice column and I’d shunned from polite society. However, I found myself all alone in a medical office recently and, because there was absolutely nothing else to read, I drifted to the only available reading material available: WOMEN RUNNING. It was there that I discovered a column by one S. Tupida who claimed that THE FIRST TRUE PIECE OF CLOTHING EVER INVENTED WAS A BRASSIERE. I checked quickly to see (a) if anyone was watching me (b) if she’d mistaken brassiere for brazier (c) if I was Candid Camera. All seemed to be clear but that stupid column actually got me thinking In retrospect, I began to wonder if Eve might have invented the bra and made it out of rabbit skin. After all, she brought forth all kinds of sons, starting with Cain
and Abel (why not alphabetically?) and probably very soon lost her sylphlike figure. A practical garment like that made more sense than those silly fig leaves she and her fellow were supposed to have sported so fashionably. However, whoever the inventor might have been, the bra would soon be appropriated by the menfolk of the time and it probably happened like this: Og must have given his missus a couple of large rocks to carry so he’d be armed and she, practical woman, had stuffed them into her capacious bra and then, when the loving couple was out scavenging and, at the same time, trying not to be eaten by something nasty, they spotted a serious aniPeter mal like a dire wolf and so Warland Og turned to the Missus and whispered, “Pass me a rock, quick!” The lady, who was lumbered at that time with two or three kids on her hips plus a bag of birds’ eggs she’d found, and a long stick, just in case, pulled the bra full of rocks off and tossed it to her fellow. She was probably a lusty lady and tossed the armed bra a little too hard so that it flew over her hubby’s head, slammed into the dire wolf and there wrapped itself round the animal’s legs, rendering it helpless and in dire straits. This is how the bola was invented. Ask any gaucho.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
But then, in that waiting room and bored to tears, I went back to Ms S. Tupida’s literary masterpiece to see if she reckoned that, back in pre-history, a woman had anything to do with braziers and fire. It made more sense. Lighting fires was fraught with problems in the old days and so folk hauled it with them. You got a fire going; you didn’t let it go out; you had to travel so you hauled it with you and, as usual the missus had to pack it. Before you ask why the men didn’t carry the fire with them, think about it. Men are totally irresponsible when it comes to regular tasks. Give a man a fire to carry and he’ll try to singe his best friend’s new goat skin vest with it, see how far he can throw it, or experiment by floating it across a creek. If you happened to see that marvellous film ‘Quest for Fire’ way back, you noted that it was man who fell over with the precious fire and dowsed it in a swamp. No! It would definitely have been the woman who would have added fire to her onerous load and, to do so without abandoning one or more of her kids, she would have invented a brazier. Later, Swan Vestas invented matches, but who invented the backless evening dress? Surely not a woman with a rabbit ski bra.

It had—somewhat unfortunately— soon began to be shown on campuses and become fascinated with with an unnamed art houses all over North America and Eugenre of paperback books published in the rope, as well as on late night television.

Most were written by hacks using a made a feature film about him in 1994 bizarre array of pseudonyms, and for very which won two Academy Awards. Just who was the worst director of all little pay.

A complete box-office failure, Outer Space’ was the worst movie ever Wood somehow just kept going, producing made, and its director—Ed Wood—the the films ‘Jail Bait,’ ‘Bride of the Monster,’ and what would be his magnum opus, worst director in the history cinema. This verdict by the overly-stuffy Med- ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space.’ Every single ved brothers produced an unintended re- filmed tanked at the box office.
With even the lowest-budget and disreputable studios closing their doors on him, Wood turned his talents to writing. In less than a decade had written hundreds of short stories for magazines, and at least 80 novels,such as ‘Black Lace Drag,’ ‘Orgy of the Dead,’ ‘Devil Girls,’ ‘Sex Shrouds & Caskets,’ ‘The Sexutives,’ ‘Purple Thighs’ ‘Death of a Transvestite Hooker,’ and ‘Let Me Die in Drag.’ As can be seen in a few titles, a man wearing woman’s clothes features prominently in these stories.
Wood also paid the rent by writing hundreds of short stories which were published in adult magazines. These are much more like his films, dealing with a mix of horror and science fiction peppered with social commentary. These are quite good, considering he had only three or four pages to “get in and get out while telling a story that makes sense.” (It is doubtful anyone bought these magazines at the time to ‘read’ anything between the covers. Today, they are worth hundreds and thousands only because of the story printed in them). Sadly, Ed Wood never did get any breaks or recognition while he was alive. He died at age 54 of a heart attack in 1978. Unable to pay rent, he and his wife had been sleeping on friend’s various couches. His wife Kathy (a BC girl!) passed away in 2006. Her headstone reads “She hitched her wagon to star,” which is how she felt about her husband. All 80 of the novels Legault collected are now the property of Cornell University Rare Book Library. Earlier this year OR Books in New York published ‘Blood Splatters Quickly’—a collection of Wood’s short fiction. The book comes complete wrapped in its own angora sweater. Is ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’ the worst film ever made? Absolutely not. It is terrible, but is it terrible in a good way. It remains supremely entertaining to watch.
Protest told Alberta farm safety bill could kill livelihoods C anadian Press
EDMONTON - About 200 angry farmers and ranchers have staged a protest in front of the Alberta legislature over a proposed new farm safety bill. Bill 6 would make Workers’ Compensation Board coverage mandatory for farm workers and would cancel the agriculture sector’s exemption from occupational health and safety rules. Farms would also be subject to employment standards covering areas such as hours, vacation pay and minimum wages. Farmers at Friday’s rally fret the bill could kill their livelihood, and waved signs including one that read: “Save the farm family from genocide.” Rally organizer Sara Wheale says Bill 6 will have a dramatic impact on the way of life of farm families, many of whom rely on their children to help with farm chores. Farmer Kate Dewindt says she and others want their children to be safe, but “this isn’t the way to do it.” “It’s obvious they kicked a
hornet’s nest that didn’t need kicking,” says rancher John Erdman. “They’re trying to impose an urban industrial concept of employment upon family living. Families are families; employees are separate from that.” Officials say 25 people died from farm-related accidents in 2014 - nine more than the previous year. Earlier this month, a 10-year-old boy was killed at a Hutterite colony. Relatives said he had just finished cleaning up some hog barns and was driving a forklift on a gravel road when the machine toppled into
the ditch. Alberta is one of four provinces without mandatory workers’ compensation for farmers. The others are Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Prince Edward Island. Jobs Minister Lori Sigurdson has said the specifics of the bill will be worked out following consultations and will be phased in. However, the WCB and OHS regulations will take effect on Jan. 1. Sigurdson was at Friday’s protest and took some hard questions from those in atten-
dance. “What is this going to cost for workman’s compensation for the average farmer?” one farmer asked her. “That information is on the website,” Sigurdson replied. “But you should have that information for me right now,” he said. Sigurdson wouldn’t take questions from the media, saying she had another appointment to go to, but later issued a news release insisting the NDP government has been listening to Albertans on the issue.
Charge recommended after sucker-punch attack C anadian Press
VANCOUVER - A manslaughter charge has been recommended for a 26-year-old man in the death of a Vancouver resident who was punched in the head. Vancouver police say the 60-year-old man died in hospital after being injured in an argument outside of a downtown nightclub. The announcement of a possible charge comes one day after the city’s police force reported that one-punch attacks have killed three people and seriously injured several others
over the past year. On Friday, police said the victim initially thought he had suffered only a minor head injury when a punch knocked him to the ground. They say he went to hospital, but refused treatment and left, and paramedics later found him unresponsive in his apartment building with a serious brain bleed. Police said alcohol and bravado appear to be fuelling the spate of unrelated attacks that have caused serious injuries in minor disputes.

Gutierrez and Hurricanes edge Ice
Overage Alaskan forward produces all the offense as Lethbridge works past Kootenay Ice Saturday at Western Financial Place Taylor Rocc a
Justin Gutierrez and the Hurricanes. Sounds like a really great name for a rock band. Unfortunately for the Kootenay Ice, it was the Gutierrez show leading the Lethbridge Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory in Western Hockey League action Saturday night. The 19-year-old native of Anchorage, Alaska, provided all the offense for the visitors, registering a hat trick. “We were pressing and we were feeling hard — our ‘D’ were pinching down at the start of the game — we wanted to set the momentum,” Gutierrez said following Saturday’s win. “We’re a fast team. We want to play to that advantage. We’re definitely using our speed and we have a lot of skill up front.” Set the momentum indeed. The Hurricanes grabbed all of it through 40 minutes of play, outshooting the host Ice by a 38-11 margin. “We didn’t sacrifice and work nearly as hard as we need to as a whole group,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “We had some individuals who played and played hard with passion, but we’ve got some guys — early in the game — that aren’t ready to play. “The group that played in the third period is the group I want to coach.” The quick start was fed on the scoreboard by the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Gutierrez, who was a pain in and around the crease all night. The overage forward opened the scoring 4:17 into the first period and after Ice forward Dylan Stewart knotted it 1-1 on the man advantage to close out the opening 20 minutes, Gutierrez returned to pot a power-play goal of his own 6:03 into the second. Before the opening 40 minutes expired, the veteran of 212 WHL regular season games had collected his first-career WHL hat trick. “My linemates — on all three [goals] — they
set me up,” Gutierrez said. “I got a tap in on the first one. Second one, I got a nice pass and the third one, Brayden Burke found me right in the slot. All I had to do was just tap all of them in. It was all because of them.”
“The group that played in the third period is the group I want to coach.” Luke Pierce Head Coach Kootenay Ice Burke finished the night with two helpers, pulling into a two-way tie for first in the WHL in assists (33) alongside Seattle Thunderbirds star Mathew Barzal. To top it all off, Gutierrez was named the first star of the game and as he hit the ice for his curtain call, he saluted a large section of Hurricanes fans that made the trek from Lethbridge for the Central Division contest. “The fans have gone through so much with this team in the past five years,” Gutierrez said. “All we want to do is give back to them, win games for them. When they come on the road and we can get a win, it’s great.” Though Gutierrez and the ‘Canes took centre stage and rocked through the opening 40, the Ice made sure there was at least a little bit of drama before the final buzzer sounded. “Don’t worry about winning the game — worry about how much you care to play and how hard you can work,” Pierce said. “Get involved. Get to the net. The game is supposed to be played by men and you’re supposed to get bumped and bruised and cut and teeth
knocked out. You have to have that level of intensity and the desire. “We did that in the third period and you see what happens — you make a really good team panic a little bit. You put pressure on them and you get opportunities.” With 1:26 of power-play time remaining on the clock to start the third period as Carter Folk served two minutes for checking to the head, Ice alternate captain Matt Alfaro clawed his team within one goal only 1:21 into the third. That sparked a third-period surge from the hosts, who went on to outshoot the visitors 12-5 in the period. “We knew during the intermission it was a big power play and if we got a goal there we’d be right back into the game,” Alfaro said. “It was a good push, a show of character,” Alfaro said. “Thursday night in Lethbridge, we kind of rolled over and didn’t fight back. It was good we [fought back] tonight. I’m proud of the group of guys in that dressing room.” Unfortunately, it was too little, too late for the Ice. Hurricanes goaltender Stuart Skinner was steady, making 21 saves. At the other end of the rink, 20-year-old Wyatt Hoflin put forth another lights-out performance to give his team a shot at a win. “Hoflin is one of our best players and we need him every night,” Alfaro said. “He performed well tonight and he kept us in the game. He gave us a chance to win at the end.” The native of Spruce Grove, Alta., made 40 stops — including 35 through the opening 40 minutes of play — and was named the second star of the night. Once again, the Ice were short-handed as coach Pierce only had 17 skaters at his disposal. Making his return to the lineup was rookie defenceman Jason Wenzel, who had previously missed five games due to headaches. With the loss, the Ice fall to 6-19-2-0 on the

Ice swing pair of deals to acquire trio of forwards Gray and Morison acquired from Portland; Zaharichuk joins from Kamloops
Taylor Rocc a
The Kootenay Ice swung a pair of deals to acquire a trio of forwards in an effort to address a battered forward group Sunday afternoon. First, a trade was struck with the Portland Winterhawks, with forwards Austin Gray (1997) and Reed Morison (1998) being acquired in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. Second, the Ice and Kamloops Blazers hooked up with 18-yearold forward Jesse Zaharichuk coming to Cranbrook in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft. “Jesse Zaharichuk is a skilled forward who brings WHL experience and depth to our roster,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, in a team release. “He has been producing at nearly a pointper-game pace with Kamloops this season and given the injuries up and down our roster, Jesse will get every op-
portunity to step into the lineup and contribute right away.” This season, the 5-foot-8, 155-pound Zaharichuk registered four goals and 13 points in 17 games with the Blazers. He was a healthy scratch Saturday evening as the Blazers fell by a 7-3 final to the Prince George Cougars. During his rookie season in the WHL, Zaharichuk -- a native of Spruce Grove, Alta. -suited up in 48 games with the Blazers while contributing three goals and 12 assists. He is expected to join the club for its five-game road trip through the B.C. Division, which begins Tuesday in Kamloops. “Austin Gray is coming off an impressive season in the B.C. Major Midget League and unfortunately due to injury was only able to spend a brief time in Portland,” Chynoweth said. “With our depleted forwards ranks, Austin will be stepping into a situation where he will be given a
chance to play regularly.” The 6-foot-2, 162pound Gray posted 25 goals and 64 points in 37 games with the major midget Cariboo Cougars during the 2014-15 season. The Prince George native is expected to wear sweater No. 20 and will join the Ice for Tuesday’s tilt in Kamloops. Gray has skated in seven WHL games, all with the Winterhawks. Morison also has seven games of WHL experience. “Reed Morison adds size and depth to our forward corps, in particular our 1998-born players,” Chynoweth said. “Reed has put up big numbers throughout his minor hockey career, and while he will stay in Junior ‘A’ in Calgary at this time, we will re-assess after our B.C. road trip.” This season, the 6-foot-3, 180-pound forward has skated in 15 games with the Calgary Canucks of the AJHL, registering one goal and four points.

Eskimos win 103rd Grey Cup Dan R alph Canadian Press
WINNIPEG - Jordan Lynch’s one-yard touchdown run with 3:17 remaining rallied the Edmonton Eskimos to an exciting 26-20 Grey Cup win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Sunday. Lynch successfully converted the third-andone situation to cap a five-play, 78-yard drive. Quarterback Mike Reilly’s three-yard pass to Akeem Shavers for the two-point convert erased a 20-18 advantage. The drive was aided by Edmonton coach

Chris Jones challenging an incompletion that was changed to pass interference against Ottawa’s Brandon Sermons. That gave the Eskimos the ball at the Redblacks’ 10-yard line. It was a dramatic finish for the sellout crowd of 36,634, the second-smallest Grey Cup attendance since 1975. It was the fourth time the CFL title game was played in Manitoba. Edmonton secured its first Grey Cup since ‘05 and 14th overall in a record 25th appearance.
The Eskimos finished the season registering their 10th straight win, all coming after Reilly returned as the club’s starter. He suffered a knee injury in Week One. It was a bitter ending to the season for Ottawa, appearing in its first Grey Cup since a 26-23 loss to Edmonton in 1981. The city’s last Grey Cup came in 1976 with the former Rough Riders. The game-time temperature was -5C but the 15-kilometre-an-hour wind created a windchill of -10C.

The addition of three forwards will be welcomed by head coach Luke Pierce, who was forced to manage a patchwork forward group over the past week. Saturday against the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the Ice lined up defencemen Bryan Allbee and Jason Wenzel — who returned after fivegame absence due to headaches — at forward. Even with the two typical blue-liners skating up front, Pierce was still one skater short. Captain Luke Philp (ankle) is out indefinitely, while right wing Jaedon Descheneau is expected to miss the duration of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Another top-six forward — Zak Zborosky — is week-to-week with a lower-body injury and right wing River Beattie has also been unavail-

The BC SPCA offers the following tips to keep your pet safe and happy this holiday season: • No Bones About It: Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones. Poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations.

• Healthy Treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans. The best thing you can do for your pets over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet. Look for special animal treats instead of giving your animals cookies or sweets meant for people.

• Poisonous Plants: Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets - especially birds. Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people but some pets who have a sensitivity to the latex contained in the plant, may get diarrhea or even vomit if they consume a poinsettia.

• Avoid Tinsel: A Christmas tree can be a fun temptation for many pets. Make sure the tree is well secured and try to place decorations above paw height. Use string to hang the bulbs instead of hooks, which are easily dislodged and if possible, use non-breakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair. Cats and dogs will ingest both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets - especially from chewing puppies and exploring kittens. Keep in mind that the chemicals added to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to keep your tree living longer won’t do the same for your pet. The chemicals are toxic to animals, so keep the reservoir covered.

My name is Jayce, And I am a 3 Year 1 Week old, Neutered Male, Lionhead, Mixed Breed.

Come and meet him today and see if you could give this great little guy a good home.
• Choose Toys Carefully: Avoid purchasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Tips to keep your pet warm this winter • Keep them indoors. This is the surest way to keep your pet warm. Dogs, while they enjoy outings, are often happier indoors as well so they can dote on their owners. • Get them jackets and sweaters. If your home is a little chilly, cute jackets and sweaters can keep them warm. If they are going outside with you into the snow (dogs more than cats), it’s better to choose something that has a waterproof nylon covering. • Booties. Your dog regulates his temperature through the soles of his feet (as well as his tongue, of course). When walking in the snow, booties can help keep him warm. This will also protect him from salt
Brr! It’s cold out there! If you’re outside for any time at all, you probably can’t wait to get home to put on flannel jammies and sip hot chocolate. But what about your dog? What’s keeping the cockles of his heart warm?
and other products used to melt ice. • Check the temperature before going out. In winter, as in summer, the temperature can feel worse than what the thermometer reads. Check the temperature and the wind chill factor to keep your dog from getting a chill. • Proper outdoor housing. If your dog spends a lot of his time outdoors, make sure he has the right housing. His doghouse should have a sloped roof, insulation and even a heater if he is expected to live in there.
• Use a hot water bottle or snuggle disk. If your home is chilly, you can keep your pet warm by using a hot water bottle under his bed or even a snuggle disk, which is a manufactured disk that is heated in a microwave oven and can maintain heat for hours.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be ready to take on any challenge that heads your way. Being as open as possible will reveal many opportunities. A friend could be pushing what he or she thinks is a great idea -- even though it was originally your idea! Be diplomatic. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be at the point of no return. Understand your limits. You might need to have a significant talk, so remain open. If you feel you need to do more physically, do just that. Get into an exercise program or start walking the dog more often. Tonight: Happiest at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) How you say it makes all the difference. You could be creative in how you deliver your thoughts. Make sure the receiver is capable of receiving your intended message. The words are more important than the style of communication. Tonight: Challenge a pal to a game of Scrab-
ble. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be ready for some dynamic changes, but know the cost of heading in that direction. Check to see if your budget is as flexible as you think it is. A family member who often gives you flak could create some uproar. Tonight: Indulge in some celebration. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Some of you will be on the verge of completing a major creative endeavor. You’ll put tremendous effort into whatever you are doing today. It will be hard to pull back. Someone could find you to be unusually pushy! Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to pull back and share less at the moment. Being someone else’s confidant works, but past that you need to stay out of the fray. A partner could inspire you in his or her unique way. Schedule time to share what you feel and see. Tonight: Make it personal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
You’ll present yourself in a much more spirited way than what others are used to. If someone becomes reactive, just go with the flow. This person might need some time to adjust. Your fatigue will be apparent when handling a redundant conversation. Tonight: Share news. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a lovely way of taking the lead and invigorating even the laziest people. You could be more irritated by someone than you realize, and your anger suddenly might surface. Try to express your disdain in the most appropriate way possible. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will accomplish more if you refrain from being so defensive. Listen to what a friend or associate has to share. You could find this person’s behavior offensive, but ask yourself how or if it really affects you before making any comments. Tonight: Loosen up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) One-on-one relating will prove to be satisfactory and effective. You will accomplish a lot if you
stay open to a partner’s ideas. A higher-up might seem irate, but his or her reasoning could be questionable. Stay on top of what needs to be done. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others are so animated right now that it might be difficult to get a word in. You could be in a situation where you feel as if you have a better idea. Finding support will be difficult at the moment. Give it time. Tonight: Have fun not being in control for the time being. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Put all your effort into a project that involves a loved one. The results could be rather exciting. You might view an associate as being stern and unimaginative. This person simply can’t seem to see your vision. Don’t count on his or her support. Tonight: Take a walk.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 15 years. During our first year of marriage, he cheated on me with an old girlfriend. I was pregnant at the time. He promised never to do it again. Several months ago, I noticed that my husband seemed distant, irritable and less interested in sex. We have three children, and I work two jobs and very long hours. So, I will admit that I haven’t been the most attentive wife. Several months ago, he said he needed more of a social life, so he would go out at night and not return until the wee hours. When I questioned his whereabouts, he said he was with the guys at a sports bar. One night when he was out late, I looked at his Internet browsing history and found searches for strip clubs, as well as a notebook with comments on how to seduce specific strippers. I also discovered he’d been calling and texting the strippers. When I confronted him with this information, he denied that he had done anything wrong. Then I told him that I had hired a private investigator, and this stopped him in his tracks. He swore that nothing sexual had taken place, and that he was only talking to the strippers to get to know them. I asked him if he wanted a separation or an open marriage, but he declined, saying he’s been faithful but has an interest in making connections with females on a platonic level. He has since stopped going to the strip clubs, but I still find it hard to trust him since he lied so vehemently before. I feel stupid. I blew my chances of finding out anything more. He has covered his tracks and trashed the notebook. What should I do? -- Wary Wife Dear Wary: The only excuse for making connections with strippers on a platonic level would be if he’s writing a book or a screenplay. Your husband may not have done anything yet, but it sounds like he was working up to it. The best thing would be to get into counseling so your husband understands how he has destroyed your trust and what he needs to do to regain it. You also need to do some work, so your husband doesn’t feel you are neglecting him. As always, if he won’t go with you, go without him. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “K,” who was frustrated about the toll worker who didn’t understand how to make change. When I worked in a fast-food place, the other employees (usually younger) would ask me to help them count out change for their customers. I am 51 years old and learned all of this is school, including how to balance a checkbook. They really need a basic math class to teach these things. -- A. Dear A.: The problem is, schools are already cutting back on what they offer in order to cover the required material, the list of which gets longer every year. How to balance a checkbook and make change are things that parents and grandparents can teach the kids, and we highly recommend they do. These are useful skills, and patient, loving instruction provides a bonding experience. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
