Council to look at downtown patio policy City looking to revisit its policies on allowing outdoor patios in downtown core
ARNE PETRYSHEN
Cranbrook city council will have opportunity to revisit policies dealing with downtown outdoor patio seating. At the moment businesses downtown are not permitted outdoor patios. Past councils have looked at the policies and kept the status quo. Coun. Ron Popoff said that he and Mayor Lee Pratt had at-
tended the Downtown Businesses Association meeting prior to the Nov. 16 city council meeting and the prospect of patios was brought up. “They mentioned that there was a desire to develop some enabling policies, bylaws or whatever that may be for seasonal outdoor public patios,” Popoff said. “Certainly we see those in all the other commu-
nities around this area and broader, it just makes us wonder why we don’t have those yet in Cranbrook.” Popoff said he was just putting the thought forward as an “ask” at the moment. “Is it possible for staff to take this away as some winter homework and come up with some sort of an idea of what kind of project that might look
like for staff to take on and see how that fits within our priorities,” he said. ‘Maybe we might have some sort of leadership enabling documents so that next spring, those in the business community — downtown or other — who want those outdoor patios, we would have something for them ready to go.”

Gifts That Give Hope to raise money for non-profits For the Townsman
Gifts That Give Hope’s website states that it promotes meaningful gift giving and support for non-profit organizations by helping communities host alternative gift fairs. Cranbrook was fortunate enough to host one of these gift fairs last November at Western Financial Place, which was the first of its kind held in Canada. The Gifts That Give Hope (GTGH) will be holding its second annual fair in Cranbrook at Western Financial Place on December 5th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Last year, the event raised $3500 for 14 local non-profit organizations. This year, the organizers are looking to increase that amount by at least 50%. Additional features at the Fair will include: free skate with Santa, free swim, compliments of Salvation Army, live music and food. Gifts That Give Hope (GTGH) is a United States based organization that held its first fair in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and was hosted by a local woman’s giving Circle and raised over $20,000 to help 15 non-profit orga-
nizations. According to GTGH’s website, fairs are typically held in public venues where shoppers meet and learn about non-profit organizations, and make a donation to a cause of their choice in honour of a friend or loved one. In turn, the friend or loved one receives an attractive card with a description of their charitable donation. Furthermore, GTGH fairs give shoppers the opportunity to choose meaningful gifts for people on their gift list, while helping others who are not on anyone’s gift list.
The planning committee of this year’s event consists of: Riley Wilcox, Executive Director of Cranbrook & District Community Foundation (CDCF); Patricia Whalen, GTGH Board Member, who was responsible for bringing Jeanne Kruidenier, president of GTGH, to Cranbrook last year for its inaugural event in Canada and Livia Larin, Events Coordinator for CDCF. Members of the planning committee are excited to be holding the second annual fair and urge members of the community to come out and support the event.
All proceeds raised during the event go back to local charities that are making our communities a wonderful place in which to live. Regarding participating in the GTGH program, you can also shop online by accessing the following link: https:// squareup.com/market/ cdcf. A list of local sponsors can also be viewed on the site. The planning committee hopes to see a really good turnout this year in its endeavour to promote such a compassionate and worthy cause. See you there. by Dan Schellenberg
SunMine continues to attract attention C arolyn Gr ant Daily Bulletin
One of the goals with the building of Kimberley’s SunMine was to change people’s image of Kimberley — to not think of it as a community struggling to find itself after the closure of the Sullivan Mine, but as a progressive, forward looking community. So far, the SunMine is surpassing expectations in that area. Last week, Mayor Don McCormick was in Vancouver to
attend the Lower Mainland Local Government Association meetings. He had been invited there specifically to present on the SunMine. “There is lots of interest in SunMine from all over the province,” McCormick said. “It was fascinating, lots of conversation, lots of questions.” The interest will continue, McCormick says, because there is a lot of industry out there looking to feed off of clean energy, and not just Hydro, which is plentiful in B.C.
“My dream for the SunMine is to attract an industry and literally plug it in.” To do that, the SunMine must expand. And finding an industry looking for clean power would help that goal. “If the goal is to sell power back to the grid, then BC Hydro is in the driver’s seat,’ McCormick said. “And it’s not an easy process. “One of the things that makes solar so expensive is distribution. That grid was already in place in Kimberley. We used
Teck’s existing infrastructure. If we are looking at expanding, we need an appropriate partner with experience.” It all ties together, McCormick says. Industrial lands would be needed to attract an industry, so forward movement on environmental certificates is necessary. Attracting an industry is easier with the new Cranbrook Kimberley Development Initiative. “To meet our objectives, we require progress on all these areas.”
City looking at exploring issue of downtown patios Continued from page 1 Popoff asked if staff could look into setting up a sort of work task for the winter and report back the next meeting. CAO Wayne Staudt said the question has come up before, and has also been researched by city staff. “I think what we can do is maybe dust off one of those reports and bring it forth
for council to have a look at because it’s not the first time this question has been raised,” Staudt said. “And you won’t be surprised that there’s pros and cons to it.” He said previous councils have decided not to proceed with it based on the pros and cons that were in the report. Staudt said he would try to have the report ready for the Dec. 7 meeting.
He noted it may need to be updated in some areas. “There would’ve been input into it from our insurance people, RCMP and everything else,” Staudt said. “So whether they want to give me an update… because I don’t know how old it is — it might be three years old, it might be five years old. We may want to get it updated.”
Provincial foundation looking to recognize community leaders Continued from page 1 The foundation is encouraging anyone wishing to submit a nomination to include a letter describing the contributions of the nominee, a brief personal history of the nominee and two current letters of support. An advisory council of independent community leaders reviews the nominations and chooses roughly 30 submissions. Recipients will attend a formal ceremony in the spring in Victoria and will receive the B.C. Community Achievement Medallion and a lapel pin. For more information, visit www.bcachievement.com/community/info.

Every country is eed, the charismatic young president of the Maldives who drama- different, but the changes that brought the tised the threat of rising sea levels to his Maldives to this low point are a warning low-lying island nation in the Indian Ocean about what can happen to the promises by holding his first cabinet meeting under- countries make about reducing their emiswater, with all the cabinet ministers in scuba sions. Since the whole Paris negotiation is based on each country making voluntary gear? “This is what will happen to the Maldives commitments on emission cuts, there are if climate change is not checked,” he told the 140 different ways that whatever they agree cameras as the fish swam past him. (Well, at Paris can be sabotaged afterwards. The Maldives has a long record of taking not exactly “told”, because you can’t talk when you are underwater, but he held up a the lead on climate change issues, because it sign saying that.) Were you wondering is the most vulnerable country in the world where he is now that the great conference to to sea-level rise.

Gayoom was also instrumental in

founding the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), now 44 members strong, which campaigns internationally against global warming and is strongly represented at Paris. So Nasheed, who holds a degree in Maritime Studies from what is now Liverpool John Moores University, was not really bringing the subject up for the first time when he held his famous underwater cabinet meeting. It’s hard to be Maldivian and not care about climate change. But it can be done, and the current president of the Maldives, Abdulla Yameen, is living proof of it. To be fair, he does care about it a bit; he just cares about power much more. After Nasheed was forced to resign at gunpoint in 2012, the old gang came back with a vengeance: Yameen is Gayoom’s half-brother, and his foreign minister is Gayoom’s daughter. And Nasheed is in prison. The current government is trying to bolster its support by playing the Islamist card: for example, the death penalty has been reintroduced sixty years after it was abolished Now the thieves are quarrelling among themselves, with Yameen’s vice-president under arrest for allegedly plotting to kill the president, and climate change is very much on the back burner. It’s not just a fledgling democracy that’s going under. In the somewhat longer term, it’s the whole country. But politics is usually a short-term game, and it can get quite nasty. Not all the promises that are being made in Paris will be kept.

Blazers special teams melt Ice Tuesday
Kamloops utilizes power play twice and adds short-handed tally to down Kootenay; Ice face Kelowna Rockets Wednesday Taylor Rocc a
Special teams were the name of the game Tuesday night in Kamloops as the Blazers skated away with a 5-1 victory over the Kootenay Ice in Western Hockey League action at the Sandman Centre. The host Blazers (129-3-0) converted twice
on the man advantage, with the back-breaking marker coming on a short-handed effort from Gage Quinney midway through the second period. “The short-handed goal is a back-breaker,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Ice, over the phone from Kamloops
Defenceman Cale FlTuesday night. “Our power play gets a goal in eury sparked the rethe second [period] on a sponse with a powreal nice play and then er-play goal 13 seconds we get another power into the period to cut play and it’s anemic. into the Blazers 2-0 lead. “I thought we had a You’re trying to do too much with the puck in- real good push in the dividually and you give it second,” Pierce said. up short-handed.

there on as the hosts added a pair of power-play goals -- one in the second period from defenceman Ryan Rehill and another in the third period from captain Matt Needham -- to take complete control. By the end of the night, the Blazers had converted on two of their seven man advantages. “Any team is going to figure out what you’re doing after they watch you kill five times,” Pierce said. “I thought our penalty kill did a heck of a job early on, but you’re using the same bodies because of the people we’re missing.” The Blazers jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes old, as Matt Revel opened the scoring 6:54 in before captain Needham doubled the advantage 41 seconds later with his first of two goals. Though he wasn’t able to cash in, 18-yearold Jesse Zaharichuk -acquired from the Blazers Sunday -- made his Ice debut and provided noticeable jump each time he was on the ice.
The 5-foot-8 winger rang one puck off the iron behind Blazers goaltender Connor Ingram and registered a number of other quality scoring chances, but his old teammate had his number all night long. “Jesse is a smart kid and he’s got skill,” Pierce said. “He hits the post there -- right after we make it 2-1 -- on a real good 2-on-1 rush and he beats the goaltender. If that goes in, we’re looking at a totally different hockey game. “He probably had four quality chances and those are going to start to go in for him. He’s too good of a player for that not to happen.” Also making his Ice debut was 18-year-old forward Austin Gray -also acquired Sunday afternoon, but in a separate transaction with the Portland Winterhawks. “He’s a smart kid and he’s got a good touch around the net as well,” Pierce said. “I saw things in him today -- sticking to the plan and the structure even after just a quick chalk talk. Tough
situation for them to not be able to practice. “But they’re going to make us a better team.” By the time the night ended, Ingram kept both Zaharichuk and Gray off the scoresheet, turning aside 25 shots for his 10th win of the season. Hoflin blocked 34 shots for the Ice. With the first of a fivegame road trip in the books, the Ice (6-20-2-0) continue on to face the Kelowna Rockets (19-61-0) Wednesday. “They come at you and they come hard,” Pierce said of the Rockets. “Their forward groups are extremely talented. Their backend is talented. They play a real high-risk, high-reward style of game. We can’t afford to get into a track meet with them. “After playing [Tuesday] we just don’t have the legs for it. We have to use our brains over brawn a little bit better and we’re going to need a hell of a performance from Wyatt Hoflin. “We need to capitalize on some chances and be ready for a dog fight.”

Winless weekend for Avalanche men Taylor Rocc a
The College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volleyball team stumbled in PACWEST action to close out the first semester of the 2015-16 season. On the road to close out 2015, the Avs dropped all four matches, including a pair to Vancouver Island University (VIU) and another two against Camosun College. The VIU Mariners
came out with back-toback triumphs with a 3-1 win Thursday (2521, 25-21, 19-15, 25-20) and a 3-0 decision Friday (25-17, 25-20, 25-8). A return to the mainland didn’t bring a return to the win column for the Avs as Camosun pounded out a pair of straight-sets wins Saturday (25-17, 25-18, 25-13) and Sunday (25-23, 2519, 25-16). The winless weekend drops the Avalanche to
4-8 on the season, including a mark of 1-7 away from Cranbrook. Right side/libero Mitch Parnham -- a 6-foot-2 second year from Calgary -- was named Avalanche Athlete of the Week. Parnham registered 25 kills and 19 digs over the weekend. The men’s next action slated for Jan. 8 when the Capilano University Blues visit College of the Rockies.

Tension develops over a potential trip or opportunity. Someone else will be envious. Tonight: Choose a relaxing activity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Despite present pressure, there are many ways to accomplish your goals. You tend to see what others don’t. Your creativity works continuously on an issue until you find a good solution. A partner could be challenging you. Tonight: Be nice, even if someone is grumpy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to discuss, but unfortunately your preferred audience is not available. You might feel as though you have hit an obstacle. Work with someone who can give you feedback right now, even if his or her comments seem critical. Tonight: Happy to cocoon.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You share much more than you realize just with your expressions. How you deal with this matter could change radically if you would just relax. Understanding is likely to evolve to a new level. You also might see a new path. Tonight: Share your vision with others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Curb a tendency to worry too much. Sometimes, when you push as hard as you can, you lose your perspective. Recheck whatever you are doing, as a lot of confusion surrounds you. A new friend could be the cause of some distraction, even if it is pleasant. Tonight: Order in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can determine more of what you desire. Maintain your detail-oriented perspective, even if your mind begins to wander to bigger ideas. A family member whom you don’t often see weighs heavily on your mind. Tonight: Speak with this person.

Tonight: Catch up on friends’ news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds to an unanticipated level, and you easily might feel overwhelmed. Make it OK to dive right in and clear out as much as possible. You will feel better once you accomplish what you can. You could be crankier than you realize. Tonight: Could be a late one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take an overview, and you’ll be pleased with the results.
You could be working through details in your head. You hardly will even notice others. Spending could get wildly out of control if you are not careful. Tonight: Treat your mind to a game or a favorite TV series. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating seems to be fraught with hazards. You might put your foot in your mouth and say the wrong thing. Remain as sensitive as you can to others’ needs, but don’t bankrupt yourself and give everything away. Tonight: Opt to be with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seem cranky, and you probably are right. You could witness a lot of fussing and changes happening around you.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Please help settle a dispute between my wife and me. I have been an avid golf player for the past 20 years. After every Sunday game, I come home and wash the golf balls in the kitchen sink. We live in a very modest house, and other than the bathroom, the kitchen has the only other sink. I refuse to wash my golf balls in the bathroom because I use the same sink to brush my teeth. For what feels like forever now, my wife has argued that the kitchen is no place to wash things from the outside world. While I understand that it may not be the most ideal place, it is really the only option I have. My wife has now reached the point where she doesn’t even want me to play golf on Sunday anymore. I really love golfing and would hate to see it come to this. How should I approach this with my wife? -- Between a Golf Ball and a Hard Place Dear Between: Your golf balls don’t belong in the kitchen sink. You may object to washing them where you brush your teeth, but it’s hardly an improvement to wash them where you prepare your food. If you want to continue golfing without annoying your wife, we recommend a compromise. Many golf courses have ball-cleaning machines. If so, use them. If not, when you get home, soak them in a bucket of hot water. (A golfer we know first throws in a tablet of denture cleaner to really get the grit out.) It’s a small inconvenience to you, and it will make your wife happy. Dear Annie: I’ve been traveling a lot, but now I’m home for a couple of months. Right before I left for my last trip, I met “Alec” and we clicked immediately. The problem is, we come from very different cultures and are looking for different things from a relationship. Alec also is dealing with various personal issues that I don’t want to take on. Since I’ve been home, I’ve seen Alec twice. I know I’m leading him on, but selfishly I don’t want to stop seeing him. We always have such an amazing time together. I’ve never had this sort of relationship. Should I just go with it and enjoy a new and exciting experience, or should I put an end to our budding relationship before one of us gets hurt? -- On the Fence Dear Fence: As long as you are honest, you are not leading him on. Make sure Alec knows that you don’t anticipate the relationship lasting for the long haul. That way, if he still wants to continue seeing you, it’s up to him. You cannot avoid someone getting hurt in spite of your upfront warnings. But keep in mind that some of the most unexpected relationships can turn into long-term, loving commitments. If the things that are “amazing” with Alec include good conversations, shared values, a similar sense of humor, warmth and affection, they could make up for cultural differences and other issues. Only time will tell. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN - The European Space Agency is postponing the launch of probe that will test technology for a future mission to measure gravitational waves. The agency said Tuesday that a technical problem has been discovered in the Vega rocket that was due to
lift the probe into orbit Wednesday. Engineers are working on fixing the problem and the launch from French Guiana may take place Thursday. Scientists hope the $450-million LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate it’s possible to shield objects from external influences
well enough to detect the minute effects of gravitational waves. If it succeeds, the agency plans to launch a follow-up mission in 2034 that could measure ripples in space-time caused by black holes and other massive objects lurking unseen in dark corners of the galaxy.

A division of
MEXICO CITY - A Mexican archaeologist said his team has found a tunnel-like passageway that apparently leads to two sealed chambers, the latest chapter in the search for the as-yet undiscovered tomb of an Aztec ruler. The Aztecs are believed to have cremated the remains of their leaders during their 1325-1521 rule, but the final resting place of the cremains has never been found. Outside experts said Tuesday the find at Mexico City’s Templo Mayor ruin complex would be significant. The National Institute of Anthropology and History said Monday that a team led by archaeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan had discovered an 8.4-meter (27foot) long tunnel leading into the centre of a circular platform where dead rulers were believed to be cremated. The mouth of the tunnel was sealed by a 3-ton slab of rock. When experts lifted it in 2013, they found a hollow space marked by offerings by both rich and grisly. Gold ornaments and the bones of eagles and infants were found in an offering box. Two skulls of children between five and seven years old were found with the first three vertebrae, suggesting they may have been decapitated. The
The Templo Mayor in Mexico City as it looks today. kind of stone knives used in human sacrifices were also found, as well as a hand and bones from two feet. But one researcher detected signs that a passageway appeared to lead deeper into the ceremonial platform, known as the Cuauhxicalco (kwow-she-KALkoh), where written accounts from after the 1521 Spanish conquest indicated that rulers’ remains were burned. The passageway proved to be about 18 inches (45 centimetres) wide and 5 feet (1.5 metres) high. “Once the rocks and dirt were dug out, we saw that it led directly into the heart of the Cuauhxicalco,” Lopez Lujan said. “At the end (of the passageway), there are what appear to be two old entrances that had been sealed up with masonry.” It would be a logical place for rulers remains
to lie - the Templo Mayor site was the most significant temple complex in the Aztec capital, known as Tenochtitlan but Mexican archaeologists have been searching in vain for the tombs for years. In 2007, archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar detected underground chambers directly below a huge stone monolith carved with a representation of Tlaltecuhtli (tlahl-tayKOO-tlee), the Aztec god of the earth. At the time, Lopez Lujan suspected that an emperor’s tomb might lie beneath. But none was found, despite the presence of rich offerings. Any artifacts linked to an emperor would bring tremendous pride to Mexico. The country has sought unsuccessfully to recover Aztec artifacts like the feather-adorned “shield of Ahuizotl” and the “Montezuma head-
Wikipedia image
dress” from the Ethnology Museum in Vienna, Austria. But Lopez Lujan is being cautious, saying the presence of graves at the end of the newly found passageway is simply a theory that could be wrong. The blocked-up entrances will be excavated starting in 2016. “What we are speculating is that behind these sealed-up entrances there could be two small chambers with the incinerated remains of some rulers of Tenochtitlan, like Moctezuma I and his successors, Axayacatl and Tizoc, given the relative dating of the surrounding constructions,” Lopez Lujan said. Moctezuma I, the second Aztec emperor, ruled from about 1440 to 1469. Moctezuma II was the emperor who first confronted - and succumbed to - Hernan Cortes.
