Mechanical issues bring flight back to airport

ARNE PETRYSHEN

Emergency crews were on hand as an Air Canada Jazz flight returned to Canadian Rockies International Airport late Tuesday night due to a potential mechanical issue. Tristen Chernove, airport manager at Ca-

nadian Rockies International Airport, said the flight returned to the terminal because of an issue with a propeller. The plane had been in flight for approximately 30 minutes when it turned back to the airport. Emergency crews were waiting as a pre-

caution when the flight landed, he said. “Everything rolled out according to the Emergency Response Plan, which I’m really happy about,” he said. “Flight services followed their procedure, did their call out to police/fire/ambulance and myself.”

Chernove was called in around 11:30 p.m. “Everything went very well from the response side,” he said. “And the aircraft landed without incident.” Chernove said events like this are fairly rare. “The industry has

so many safety measures in place that, when something isn’t exactly the way people (crews) want to see it, we see flights make alternate arrangements when necessary,” he said. Chernove said the flight was then delayed until Wednesday

morning. The airport recently conducted its annual Emergency Response Tabletop Exercise. Every year the airport conducts the tabletop exercise, with a full scale emergency exercise every few years. “This was a good opportunity to test the

emergency response plan,” he said. “It was great to see all the emergency response agencies respond and have a bit of a training opportunity without any negative incidents, and we’re glad to see Air Canada following their procedures to be safe.”

Community Foundation marks Giving Tuesday $18,000 donated to community organizations C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Kimberley and District Community Foundation held its annual wine and cheese reception on Tuesday, December 1 at Centre 64. It was appropriately Giving Tuesday, as the Foundation handed out $18,000 in grants to community organizations. The grants went to all sorts of projects, from a boardwalk to protect delicate terrain around Eimer’s Lake to new windows for the heritage schoolhouse in Marysville to the Rotary Splash Park to promoting Big Brothers Big Sisters in Kimberley. Since its inception in 2001, the Kimberley and District Community Foundation has grown its endowment to almost $600,000 and $205,000 has been distributed in

Sharing

the community. The Foundation does not spend the endowment but donates the interest each year. In that way the funds can grow and be sustainable. Foundation president Terry Oscarson also acknowledged the major support the Foundation receives from Kootenay Savings Credit Union, which gave them the seed money for the Community Fund and continues to support it each year with $6,000 in flow-through funding. In 2015, the Kimberley and District Community Foundation handed out $4000 in Winter Games Legacy Funding to various sports organization in Kimberley, as well as the $15,000 from the Theresa Cundiff Fund and the KSCU Community Fund and $2909 from the Bill Motek Memorial Fund to the Pines Memorial CAROLYN GRANT PHOTO Society to improve life for residents of the Retired teacher Jessie Jensen was pleased to accept $4800 for the Kimberley Heritage Society from the Kimberley and District Community Foundation’s Terry Oscarson to assist in a project to warm up the heritage school at Marysville so it can be used Special Care Home.

KIMBERLEY NEWS December 5, 1956

“Tragedy At Sullivan Mine Claims Two Local Miners – Bodies Found In unused Raise Trevor Evans 49, and William L. McLellan 36, were found dead Tuesday afternoon in Cominco’s Sullivan Mine. The men, who were employed as timbermen, failed to check out with the day shift. A search was instituted and their bodies were discovered a few minutes later in an unused raise. They had apparently succumbed due to

lack of oxygen. William Lloyd McLellan, aged 36, was born at Nelson in 1920. He is survived by his wife Isobelle and two daughters, aged 6 and 9, also his parents and one brother in Kimberley. Mr. Mclellan began work for Cominco in 1940. From 1941 to 1945 he served in the armed forces overseas, spending several years as a prisoner of war in Germany. Trevor Evans, aged 49, was born at Frank, Alta., in 1907. Before coming to Kimberley to work for Cominco in 1943 he worked several years at Salmo and Sheep Creek. He is survived by his wife and one boy, aged 14, and a girl aged 11.

The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the families.

Kimberley’s Natasha Singer has had another good week. Freshman goaltender Natasha Singer (Kimberley, British Columbia/ Warner) helped the Yellowjackets stretch their unbeaten streak last Tuesday and was named the women’s hockey WIAC Athlete of the Week. “As a coaching staff we weren’t really sure what to expect from our goaltenders this season, and early in the year she has come in and played extremely well,” Yellowjacket head coach Dan Laughlin said. “Every game she has played she has put us in a position to win and that’s all you can ask for from a goaltender.” Singer has allowed just one goal in three of her four starts this season.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Brownbag Lunch with Mayor McCormick - On Wednesday, December 9th, and on the second Wednesday of each month, Mayor McCormick will host a brown-bag luncheon at City Hall from noon until 1:30 pm. Bring your own lunch and have a discussion with the Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer. Snow Removal – Each winter the Operations Services Department has the responsibility for maintaining in a safe and passable condition approximately 100 km of paved and gravel streets, including lanes, within the City of Kimberley. We endeavour to accomplish this task in the most cost effective manner possible while still maintaining a high level of service to you, the public. Please remember that snow and ice control is not a substitute for caution and defensive driving practices when operating a vehicle under winter conditions. We wish you a safe and enjoyable winter season and look forward to serving you in the months ahead. Sanding and plowing priorities are based on volumes of traffic and steepness of terrain. City streets are generally categorized into three groups: • Main streets and emergency access routes with hills. • Other main streets. • Local streets. The main streets and hills are completed first. This ensures that traffic can access such facilities as the schools, special care facilities, the central business area, and the ski hill area. Next completed are collector streets, which may not have steep terrain but do have heavy volumes of traffic and include Rotary Drive, Knighton Road, and Jim Ogilvie Way. Residential streets are then attended to. During weekends and statutory holidays, the City generally services only Priority No.1 streets. For more information and a list of frequently asked questions please refer to the City’s website, Snow Removal and FAQs section at http:// www.kimberley.ca/services/snow-removal-information-faqs or call the Operations Department at 250.427.9660.

The bank is equipped with a modern hold-up alarm system and heated by a hot water heating system. It is 30 feet by 50 feet in size. Saunders Pharmacy will occupy the former quarters of the bank, facing the post office. Upon completion this new block will provide accommodation to Mason’s men’s Wear and Lytle Agencies. To the builders and to the occupants, congratulations are due for their foresight and faith in the future of Kimberley.

EYE ON YOUR CITY Winter Travelling Tip of the Week Keep at least four seconds distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. This will allow plenty of room in situations where you may need to brake suddenly on a slippery surface. Frozen Water Line Prevention If the water service line to your home has ever frozen or you have noticed a reduced water flow in your home during the winter, leave one tap running cold water day and night (stream should be the size of a pencil). This will help to prevent your lines from freezing. Since frost sinks deeper into the ground when air temperatures rise after a period of extreme cold, you will need to keep the water running 24/7 until midApril to avoid having the line freeze. The City encourages residents who have experienced frozen water service lines in the past to be proactive by ensuring indoor lines are properly insulated, keeping a good snow cover over the ground above the service lines and installing a bleeder line system. For more information please visit http://www.kimberley.ca/services/ seasonal-city-operations#Preventing Frozen Water Service Lines.

CELEBRATING 25YRS

of building beautiful homes in the Kootenays

www.dailybulletin.ca Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Lots of Reasons to Celebrate in the Platzl this weekend! Join three new Kimberley businesses this Saturday Dec 5th, as they celebrate their recent openings as well as the revival to the Fields Building and Annex in the Kimberley Platzl. Arrow & Axe, Talaria Footwear and Purcell Outdoors will all be serving refreshments throughout the day, playing music outside as Purcell Outdoors opens its doors and Talaria celebrates 8 weeks of being open with a gift with each purchase and prize draws throughout the day and select sale items. All three businesses, along with other newcomers, have worked hard to create a new vibrant scene in the Platzl. For some time now Kimberley residents have observed the empty Fields Building and attached Annex in the Kimberley Platzl with much discussion as to what might help bring it back to life. While there have been many ideas and suggestions over the last few years, it wasn’t until last June that things started to change when Denai and Jarret Bell boldly breathed life into the annex when they opened their General Store, Arrow & Axe. This popular local store is steeped in great finds, like growlers, Swedish axes, a variety of local and North American made items, custom A&A apparel and goods all designed with a mountain made lifestyle in mind. The Bells were joined this Fall with the opening of Talaria Footwear & Adornment as one of their neighbours. It has been a number of years since the Kimberley/Cranbrook has had a dedicated shoe store and owner Celeste Needham saw a need in the area after moving here a few years ago. This new store has a vintage industrial feel and was inspired by the local working history of the area. Talaria carries many quality name brands like ART, Bueno, Miz Mooz and many others that cannot be found locally. The store also includes accessories such as hats, gloves, scarves, bags and coats. In the few short weeks that it has been open the store has been recognized for the quality offered at a spectrum of prices with a unique shopping experience. As the spectrum of retailers continues to grow in Kimberley it only gets better this weekend when Purcell Outdoors, Kimberley’s newest retail shop, opens its doors. Local resident Patti Oakley, will open her doors on the opposite side of Arrow & Axe in the spot of the Field’s building that has sparked much discussion. Patti was inspired to open the equipment store as there is nowhere you can find these items in town. She hand picked items such as MSR camp stoves, Outdoor Research Outerwear and KAVU Lifestyle clothing and One Tooth Yoga Apparel to name a few, and is really excited to bring these lines to the community.

Come down this Saturday, enjoy some cheer and celebrate the new offerings to the Platzl with these vibrant entrepreneurs!

Ignoring Syrian refugee crisis is inhumane

ust as the U.S. was stunned by the homeland attacks of 9-11 over a decade ago, France was recently visited by a tragic and horrific attack in mid-November at the hands of ISIL in Paris. The violence and the graphic images on TV broadcasts and the internet of the aftermath are a visceral and shocking reminder that extremism can strike in any form anywhere across the globe. Already, nations have begun to rally around France, pledging to take military action against ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq and talks of a coalition are being reported by world media. Now, after nearly four years of a civil war in Syria, the situation of refugees has come to the forefront of media coverage, due in large part to another tragic incident where photos of a young boy who had drowned and washed up on a beach in Turkey sparked global outrage. World Vision reports that there are 4 million Syrian refugees, most of whom fled to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. It’s been called the largest migration of a population since the Second World War. Many nations have grappled with a response to the refugee crisis. Some countries have made pledges to bring in thousands while in others, debate roils over the prudence of throwing open the doors to simply any refugees. In monitoring that debate, both at home

and abroad, it’s been extremely disturbing to see some of the commentary and reaction to the situation. Syrian refugees never asked for the situation they find themselves in, to be living in a war zone and getting caught in the crossfire between a dictatorial government and an extremist organization bent on killing anyone it deems a threat. To simply turn our collective backs and ignore the crisis is an inhumane response. As the old saying goes—the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. What the collective global response should be? That’s a debate that needs to happen and is happening Trevor Crawley currently in governments across the world, but the one unacceptable response is to ignore the staggering humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in the region. Pick up the phone and call a government representative—a Member of Parliament or a government minister. Send an email. Send more emails. Tweet about it. Post it on Facebook. Whatever the global response is—Canada’s included—the status quo cannot be allowed to stand. The Liberal government has committed to settle 25,000 refugees by March 2016. Other countries have pledged to take in various numbers as well, both in the U.S. and in the European Union. The attack in Paris raised the ugly spectre

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that extremist groups may be using the refugee crisis as a way of infiltrating other countries. That very well may be true. ISIL operatives may well be trying to slip through the refugee process, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that fractionally, that group is extremely small within the context of a large, legitimate majority who are suffering through the horrors of a war they never wanted. Is resettling millions of refugees in the EU and North America a viable option? Should humanitarian aid at the source be the priority? Will bombing and airstrikes do anything to shrink ISIL’s sphere of influence? All are legitimate questions. Even if the political will isn’t there to fling open the borders and allow thousands upon thousands of refugees, it still makes a world of difference to those that do get the chance to settle in a new country. Efforts are already underway even in Cranbrook to bring in a refugee family thanks to the work of the Cranbrook Hub for Refugees, a group that includes church organization and other concerned community groups. The process has already begun with an Expression of Interest application to the federal government, while groups must also raise $15,000 before they will be considered for sponsorship. Will bringing in one family make a difference in the refugee crisis? No, but to that family, it will be a world of difference.

It Happened this week in Cranbrook What’s Up?

Week November 29 – December 5 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives 1903 ONE RINGY DINGY … Not long ago, a lady in Cranbrook was delighted by her husband having a telephone placed in her residence. Before that she had been in the habit of going to a neighbors some distance when she wanted to use a telephone. Desiring to express her thanks to her husband for his kindness, after the men had departed, who installed the telephone, she hurried over to the neighbor’s and called him up. And it never occurred to her that she might have saved the trip until she got back home and saw the telephone in her own dining room. TAKE WARNING … Information has been laid before the police regarding some boys who have been removing gates, etc., on Baker Hill. These boys are warned that if there is any further annoyance from them they are liable to a fine. Law-abiding citizens of Cranbrook realize that it is time to put down such lawlessness. CLOSE CALL … The handsome residence of M. B. King had a narrow escape from fire last week. When the family arose in the morning there was a strong smell of burning wood, and Mr. King discovered that the timbers near the fire place were ablaze beneath the floor. Quick action put out the flames, but if the fire had reached that stage during the night, nothing could have saved the premises. BURN’S NIGHT … The “Bobby” Burns’ concert given last Monday night by the Presbyterian choir was a great success. There was Scotch music, Scotch songs, Scotch readings, Scotch talks, and an allround Scotch good time. TRAPPED … Charles Chapman who has been trapping in the vicinity of White River is reported as having caught forty five marten. PERRY CREEK ... Messrs. Theis and Jennings were in town yesterday for supplies. They are now working on their fourth location in sinking a shaft at Old Town, and have at last struck the right place. They are down 25 feet, and have gotten the surface water under control, and are sinking at the rate of three feet a day. They estimate that they will have to go down 85 or 95 feet to reach bedrock. They have had to contend with a lot of difficulties in this enterprise, but it is such men as Gust Theis and Bob Jennings that force success in this country. There is little doubt but that they will get rich pay dirt in their location and The Herald wishes them all kinds of success in their venture. Great work is being done on the Thompson claim. There are three men working and they are averaging $10 a day from the shaft. Perry Creek is bound to witness great scenes of activity the coming season. 1904 WIDOW DIFFERENCES … A Kaslo widow has written to the Kootenian indignantly denying the report that she was about to remarry. This is printed merely to show the difference between Kaslo widows and their sisters elsewhere. A Nelson widow would have sighed, and admitted that perhaps it was the best thing to do under the circumstances. A Cranbrook widow would have notified the paper that she had several offers under consideration, but had not yet arrived at a decision. CRANBROOK MERCHANTS … Anyone who has visited the stores of Cranbrook

this year cannot help but be impressed with the fact that never before in the history of the town has there been such large stocks of goods, never before such quality, and what is still more important, never before were the prices so low as are being quoted this year. The Herald feels that it can say without laying itself open to the charge of exaggeration, that there can be found in the various lines kept by the Cranbrook merchants just as good, just as late, just as artistic, and just as low priced articles in Cranbrook as would be found in any city of ten to fifty thousand in the west. Cranbrook is an up to date town. Her business men are up to date people. That is why Cranbrook grows. That is why her merchants command a trade from such a large territory. That is why this year people in a radius of fifty to seventy-five miles around Cranbrook will do their shopping here. They know that they will get value received for every dollar they spend in the town. MOVE ALONG … A few of the men in this community who toil not, neither do they spin, have been given a nice blue paper by Constables Morris and Hoskins. There has been about as nasty a bunch of red light deadbeats hanging around the town for the past two months as could be found anywhere in the west, and the officials are doing a good act when they send them out to battle with booze and the cold world in some other camp. FOUND BONES OF A MAN ... Last Sunday the bones of a man were found in a pile of drift wood in the Elk River about eight miles below Elko. Cory Dow went to the place when notified in hopes that he might be able to identify the remains, but the flesh was so far gone that it was impossible. It is supposed however, that the remains were those of the man who attempted to swim the Elk River at Morrissey about a year ago when the river was high and the current was swift. READING ROOM PLANNED … The W. C. T. T. are talking of instituting a reading room in Cranbrook. It would be a grand thing. With no public library, no place for young men to congregate, no resort where good literature and beneficial converse may be indulged in, many a boy gets started on the wrong road, If we had our way every church that was built by public contributions, and that is the way all of them are paid for, would be provided with a comfortable, roomy basement and that basement would be open six nights in the week for the young and the old to meet in, to read in, to play games in, to talk in, to lay foundations for future education and future industry. “Get the habit” is everything in this world, and if a young man gets the habit early in life of reading and thinking along intelligent lines, he will reap the benefits in later years, just as if he gets the habit of spending his time in loafing and idle, useless conversation, he will reap the results of a life that is a failure from every standpoint. A POPULAR HOTEL … The Imperial Hotel is doing a better business every month, and this is due to the fact that the proprietors are making every endeavor to please the public. The hotel is nicely furnished, and dining room service is one that satisfies the public, and at the bar one can find the best in liquors and cigars. Messrs. Matheson and Small are anxious to meet the demands of the people and are willing to spend energy, money and time to accomplish this, and perhaps that is one of the big reasons why they are meeting with such success in their business. A WORTHY UNDERTAKING ... The girls mission band of the Methodist Church

will hold a sale of dolls, and useful and fancy articles for Christmas presents on Thursday December 8th from 4 to 6 o’clock at the residence of Mrs. J. A. Harvey. Tea and refreshments also served. Proceeds devoted to the maintenance of an orphan Indian girl in the Kitamaat home. DRAYING … Draying is a Particular Business. We make that our business. Did you ever hear any complaints about our work? We employ the best men we can find to do the work. They are careful and prompt. That is why we please the people. We want your business and if we get it we will keep it, because we will satisfy you. Perry & Fitzgerald proprietors of the Cranbrook Cartage and Transfer Co. Office opposite C. P. R. ’PHONE 63 FORT STEELE … In future campaigns the Liberals of Steele might follow the precedent established by Conservatives in the recent election. The lesson of the election is that Conservatives can seldom win disunited. If the government practically disfranchised the electors of Kootenay, Conservatives should have put their shoulder the wheel and pushed the harder. .A wise counting will never pardon a government that attempts to disfranchise its electors. Conservatives, who desert their party in times when a national policy is at stake, will be remembered by the faithful in the future. During the recent election at Steele, Grits simply stood passive and let their Conservative friends push the Liberal wagon along. LOVERS OF NATURE who enjoy a drive along the country roads should send to The Handley Livery Stables for the accessory outfit. The turnouts supplied by us are handsome, well-appointed and entirely satisfactory. They add much to the pleasure of a trip. There is nothing about horse or vehicle to cause uneasiness to a sensitive person nor anything in the appearance of either to jar those who are particular as to style. PAUL HANDLEY. THE HOME NEWSPAPER … Furnishes a class of news that cannot be found in the best metropolitan daily or weekly published. It is a weekly record of those events with which you are associated. It tells of the home, the ranch, the individual, the industries that are making fame and fortune for South East Kootenay, the sports of the mountain and the valley. It tells of all that combines to make the mountain homes of British Columbians so attractive, and why people are anxious to return when absent on pleasure or business. The home paper is not only a joy and a source of information to your own home, but it is a weekly letter to relatives in the old home back east. Western news is always of interest to the old folks at home. No young man living in South East Kootenay should fail to send the home paper to those he has left behind. The father, the mother, the brother or sister, will soon watch for it with anxiety, because it tells the news of the country where the boy is living. The Herald is the home paper of the district. It covers the news field, it pictures from week to week the life in the west, it tells of the resources of South East Kootenay, the richest district in resources in the Dominion. It is a paper that will give pleasure to you and to the old folks at home. You should subscribe for it now for yourself, and you should send a copy back east. The Subscription is only $2.00 a year. You can afford it. You often spend $2.00 foolishly and don’t miss it. Try this year spending $4.00 for The Herald, one copy for you, one copy for the good old folks at home. Try it for one year. You will never regret it.

East Kootenay hockey star commits to Yale Kimberley’s Bailey Park, 15, is headed to the NCAA in 2018-19 after committing to the ECAC’s Yale Bulldogs

Taylor Rocc a

East Kootenay minor hockey has produced another star prospect for the NCAA’s Yale Bulldogs. Kimberley’s Bailey Park, 15, has committed to the Ivy League school located in New Haven, Conn., joining Cranbrook native Jenna Spring (2003-04 to 200607) as yet another East Kootenay product to suit up for the ECAC Division I program. “It’s an indescribable feeling,” Park said Wednesday evening of her commitment to the Bulldogs women’s hockey program. “I’m super excited. “I always thought about [playing for] the national program, but I never really thought [about college]. In the last couple years I started thinking about university.” Park’s ascent into a future NCAA star began in April 2015 when she attended a university showcase at the Warner Hockey School, located approximately 70 kilometres south east of Lethbridge, Alta. After captaining the U-16 Kootenay squad at the 2014 B.C. Winter Games, Park wrapped

her 2014-15 campaign by skating in Warner, which quickly caught the attention of scouts and coaches in attendance. It was only a matter of time before the defender and Selkirk Secondary School student was fielding emails and letters from American colleges inquiring about her services. Wishing to explore her options in an effort to determine what program might be the best fit, Park attended the Banff National Camp Showcase in August 2015, which put her talents on display for more scouts and coaches, bringing more options to the table for the young 15-year-old blue-chipper. Eventually, the Kootenay Nitros star narrowed her options down to four schools -- Quinnipiac University (Hamden, Conn.), Yale, Harvard University (Cambridge, Mass.) and Syracuse University (Syracuse, N.Y.). A week-long family trip to the northeastern United States gave Park the opportunity to find the best fit and Yale was

soon the standout. “Their overall focus is about hockey,” Park said. “Other schools have other sports as well. At Yale, the top of the list is hockey. “After Yale, I’m hoping to pursue the national program.” Should Park find her way to Canada’s national women’s program one day, she won’t be the first western Canadian product to suit up for an Ivy League NCAA hockey program before donning a red and white Canadian sweater. E m e r a n c e Maschmeyer of Bruderheim, Alta., is in her third season with the Harvard University Crimson. The 21-year-old goaltender has suited up for Team Canada’s entries in a number of notable international tournaments, including the IIHF World Women’s U18 Championships (2012), 4 Nations Cup (2014, 2015) and IIHF World Women’s Championships. For now, Park will continue to hone her skills in the East Kootenay. She currently plays for the Female Midget ‘A’

Kootenay Nitros, based out of Kimberley. The Nitros compete in the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League, which is based out of Alberta. With an elite stride and the ability to read the play well beyond her years, Park has registered five goals and seven points through seven regular season games in 2015-16, leading her team in scoring. “I’m working on getting stronger and being the most dominant player on the ice every time I’m on the ice,” Park said. Though she hasn’t yet decided what she wants to study -- and there is plenty of time for the 15-year-old to figure that out -- Park is considering the idea of studying law when she makes her way to Yale. Born in Nelson, Park first laced up the skates when she was little more than four years old, playing out of the Castlegar Minor Hockey Association. After moving to the East Kootenay in 2006, she played out of the Cranbrook Minor Hockey Association, suiting up with mixed teams through her atom years as well as her first season of pee wee hockey

As a second-year pee wee player, Park made the early jump into female bantam hockey in 2011-12. Those hoping to watch Park and her Kootenay Nitros are in luck this weekend, as

the club is hosting its annual home tournament at the Kimberley Civic Centre and Marysville Arena. “Our team needs to be focused and ready to go,” Park said, looking forward to the hometown tournament this weekend.

Park and the Nitros hit the ice for the first time this weekend when they host Lethbridge Friday afternoon at 1:15 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Visit dailytownsman.com/breaking_ news/ for the complete schedule.

Rockets beat Ice to spoil stellar showing from Hoflin Kootenay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin makes 55 saves, but it isn’t enough Wednesday night as Kelowna cruises

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It’s not too often a goaltender finds himself on the receiving end of a standing ovation when he’s in enemy territory,

but Kootenay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin was given some well-earned recognition for his performance Wednesday night in Kelowna.

LET’S FILL THE STANDS! Friday Dec 4 7:00 pm

Though he didn’t come up with a win, Hoflin was marvellous at Prospera Place, turning aside a whopping 55 shots as he did all he could to give his team a chance in a 4-1 loss to the Kelowna Rockets. The 20-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., was named the game’s third star for his outstanding efforts and the 4,562 in attendance showed their appreciation as well, giving the rival netminder a standing ovation as he answered his curtain call. “He did exactly what he’s supposed to do -stop pucks and give us a chance to win hockey games,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, over

the phone from Kelowna Wednesday night. “He shouldn’t have to stop that many shots and be that heavily leaned on. But Wyatt approaches the game

the same every day. It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, he’s always going to work hard. He loves playing against opponents like [the Rockets] and we needed more of that

[from other guys]. “He wants that challenge. I’ve got some other guys that I think don’t want to be out there because it’s difficult.” Unfortunately for the Ice, Hoflin was more or less the lone bright spot. In a matchup pitting the Western Hockey League’s first-place Rockets (20-6-1-0) against the last-place Ice (6-21-2-0), there was a clear divide as the hosts controlled play for the bulk of the night, outshooting the visitors by a final margin of 59-19. “That’s a really good hockey team and I think most people probably rise to that challenge and put their best foot out there to try and give

people a run for their money,” Pierce said. “A lot of our group [Wednesday] looked intimidated and scared and didn’t use that chance to take a run at a real good hockey team.”

If the challenge wasn’t already great enough for the visitors from Cranbrook, the Rockets were boosted by the return of veteran forward Rourke Chartier (upper body injury), who was back in the

lineup for the first time since Oct. 6. The 5-foot-11 San Jose Sharks prospect (2014 fifth round, 149th) roared back into the Kelowna lineup, marking his return with fireworks as he ripped home three goals to fuel his club’s offense. The Saskatoon native opened the scoring 7:04 into the first period, before registering a power-play marker 2:25 into the second period to give his team a commanding 3-0 lead. Less than four minutes later, Chartier completed the hat trick to give the hosts a 4-0 lead before the midpoint of the second period.

Nitros shuffle roster late Tuesday

GM Mike Reid ships Zach Morey to Nelson; adds Brendon Benson from SJHL Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid kept busy Tuesday as KIJHL teams were required to pare down rosters to 25 carded players by Dec. 1. First, Reid bolstered his team’s top-six with the signing of 19-yearold forward Brendon Benson. The 5-foot-11, 170pound Benson -- a native of Lethbridge, Alta. -- joins the Dynamiters following a stint with the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). “We scouted the Saskatchewan League very heavily,” Reid said. “Things just weren’t really working out for him in Kindersley and so he’s decided to join us. “We’re already fairly skilled, so he’s going to add some more depth to that skill so we don’t have to rely on our topend guys so much. We can spread it around a little bit.” In 16 games with the SJHL’s Klippers, the right-handed Benson tallied three goals and seven points. Benson isn’t the only product of the SJHL to join the Dynamiters this season, as forward Graham Dugdale came to the East Kootenay following training camp with the Melfort Mustangs. Though not direct from Saskatchewan, recent addition Brodie Buhler also spent nine games with the SJHL’s Melville Millionaires during the 2014-15 campaign and came to the Nitros via the Steinbach Pistons of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League earlier this season. A former Midget ‘AAA’ teammate of Dynamiters defenceman Justin Meier, Benson spent the 2013-14 campaign with the Calgary

Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League he registered six goals and 16 points in 42 games. According to Reid, Benson was coveted by “many” teams around the KIJHL and it was Meier playing a key role in bringing him to Kimberley. With 58 games of Junior ‘A’ experience under his belt, the expectation is that Benson will step into a regular role in the Nitros top six, adding speed and skill to an already quick and talented group. To make room for Benson, Reid then shipped 18-year-old defenceman Zach Morey to the Nelson Leafs in exchange for a player development fee. “It gives Zach a chance to play some more minutes in a more prominent role,” Reid said. “It was purely a numbers game. We had to get down and we looked at what was the best fit moving forward. “Zach is definitely a top-six defenceman in our league. There’s no doubt about that. He’s a great kid and the guys liked him. There was no issue other than someone has to go to make room.” Morey, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound native of Calgary, skated in 14 games with the Nitros this season, collecting two assists. Reid originally acquired Morey from the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Sept. 21. The big blue-liner marked the final piece in a deal consummated June 10 between the Grizzlies and Nitros in which goaltender Brody Nelson was traded to Revelstoke in exchange for future considerations. According to Reid, the addition of Benson was both to address depth in the short-term

and the long-term, as the Dynamiters have a handful of key forwards out of the lineup due to injury. Heading into the weekend, forwards Jesse Wallace (shoulder, indefinite) remains out of the lineup as does Marco Campanella (upper body). Rookie Korbyn Chabot has been dealing with a lower-body injury since Nov. 10. To top it off, captain Jason Richter has been bothered by an upper-body injury since later October, though his production this weekend might suggest he’s feeling closer to 100 per cent. “With Campanella and Wallace, we’re not really sure how this is going to work out,” Reid said. “We had to make sure that between now and Jan. 10 that we have ourselves covered. “[Benson] is definitely an upgrade for us and regardless of our current situation, we still would’ve made a spot for him.” Benson laced up the skates for his first practice with the Dynamiters (21-3-0-3) Tuesday evening and is expected to be in the lineup Friday night when Morey and the Leafs (13-12-01) visit the Kimberley Civic Centre for a Kootenay Conference clash. Puck drop between the Leafs and Nitros is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Ice fall to Rockets despite heroic Hoflin Toronto Blue Jays sign 1B Justin Smoak

Continued from page 8 As time wound down in the second, it appeared as though the Rockets were going to not only keep the Ice off the scoresheet, but off the shot counter as well. With the final minute ticking off the clock, Kamloops native Max Patterson cruised down the right wing, firing a longrange shot towards Rockets goaltender

Jackson Whistle. What should’ve been a harmless shot (and Kootenay’s first of the middle period), turned into a fortuitous bounce for the visitors as Whistle booted the puck into defenceman Cal Foote, leading into a ricochet goal for the rookie Patterson. The Ice were on the board trailing 4-1 heading into the third

period. Despite saving their best hockey for the final 20 minutes of regulation, the Ice didn’t get any closer as the Rockets shifted into cruise control the rest of the way. “Our third period might have been our best period,” Pierce said. “But at that point, I think Kelowna’s just coasting out. It’s hard to find a lot

of good things [in our performance].” The 20-year-old Whistle finished the night with 18 stops for his 15th victory of the season as the Rockets became the first WHL club to reach the 20-win plateau this season. At the other end, Hoflin faced an absolute barrage of shots in what is becoming a scary trend for the Ice. Four of the team’s previous five games have seen opponents put a minimum of 43 shots on net. In total, the Ice have surrendered 40 or more shots on eight occasions this season. “You’ve got to get the puck out of your end,” Pierce said. “It’s the most simple solution. We spend too much time trying to make the fancy play or the cute play. “We’re not a style team. When you’ve been stuck in your end for 10 or 15 seconds then don’t be afraid to shoot the puck up out of the zone. Get it off the glass. We

continue to want to carry or make soft passes and teams are pursuing us really hard.” Rockets left wing Justin Kirkland rounded out the scoring for the hosts, providing a back-breaking goal with 48 seconds remaining in the first period to give Kelowna a 2-0 advantage. The season-long, five-game road trip through the B.C. Division continues Friday evening for the Kootenay Ice as they visit the Vancouver Giants (7-162-2) before carrying on to face the Victoria Royals (18-8-1-1) Saturday.

C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Justin Smoak signed a one-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays worth US$3.9 million on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration. Smoak, who turns 30 on Saturday, appeared in 132 games for Toronto last season batting .236 with 18 home runs, reaching a career high in RBIs (59). Smoak, the 11th overall pick of the 2008 draft by Texas is a veteran of six seasons, has a .224 career average with 92 home runs and 223 RBIs for Texas, Seattle and Toronto. He made $1 million this year. He was claimed by Toronto off waivers from Seattle in October 2014 after hitting .202 with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 80 games with the Mariners that year. The Blue Jays failed to offer him a contract, then re-signed him, getting around the rule that prevents teams from cutting a player’s salary by more than 20 per cent from the previous year. Smoak earned $2,637,500 in 2013.

Mariners add OF Nori Aoki Tim Booth Associated Press

SEATTLE - Outfielder Nori Aoki and the Seattle Mariners have agreed on a one-year contract pending a physical, according to anonymous sources. Aoki is coming off an injury-filled 2015 season with the San Francisco Giants that will lead to an extensive medical review by the Mariners. Aoki was limited to 93 games due to a broken right leg and a severe concussion in the second half of the season. San Francisco, which turned down a $5.5 million option on Aoki last month, said Aoki was healthy and the injuries did not play a role in the decision to decline the option.

HELP KEEP CITY CLEAR OF ICE & SNOW THIS WINTER

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.

Reminders... Monday December 7, 2015 – Regular City Council Meeting @ 6pm* *Organizational meeting.

Watch the latest Cranbrook City Council meeting when you want. Visit www.cranbrook.ca

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.

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 the Kinsmen Arena. Visit http://westernfinancialplace. ca/services/public-skating/ for details or contact Leisure Service at 489-0220.

Whitecaps Kootenay girls squads strike at Seattle soccer showcase Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Whitecaps Kootenay Academy is back in Canada following a successful sojourn to Seattle, in which three girls teams travelled south of the border for tournament play in Washington State. “The tournament was a huge success,” wrote Brett Adams, Whitecaps Kootenay Regional head coach, via email Monday. “The results were close in most of the games and we came away with some wins. This is the first time that the Kootenay teams have won in America.” The trio of Whitecaps squads, consisting of athletes from Castlegar, Cranbrook, Fernie, Invermere, Kimberley, Nelson and Trail, competed at the 2015 AstroTurf Collegiate Showcase from Nov. 27 to 29 at the Starfire Soccer Centre. All three Whitecaps crews played up an age division in Seattle -- the U14 team competed in U15, the U15 club competed in U16 and a combined U16/17 outfit competed in U17. The most successful of the three squads was

the U16/17 girls squad as they posted a thirdplace finish (2-2-0) in the five-team Group D. Opening the tournament, the U16/17 Whitecaps fell 2-1 to RVS Orange, before responding with a 2-0 blanking of Fusion 98 the following day.

The U16/17 Whitecaps strung together back-to-back wins with a 4-2 victory over the ISC Gunners in their third tilt of the tournament before dropping their final contest 2-1 to FC Alliance. “The girls played some amazing soccer,” Adams wrote. “[The 4-2 win over ISC] will be remembered for a hat trick from Naomi Perkins. “It’s fair to say that the standout player from the tournament was Naomi Perkins, who scored five goals in the four matches.” Perkins, a native of Nelson, is hoping to ob-

tain a soccer scholarship by the end of this academic year and after her electric performance in Seattle, Adams has high hopes. The U15 Whitecaps squad wrapped up tournament play with a third-place finish in Group C, while the U15 Whitecaps wound up fourth in the four-team Group B. The highlight for the U14s came in the team’s final game of the weekend -- a 1-0 victory over the HPFC Eagles. Eva D’Odorico registered the lone strike as the Whitecaps pressed the game and controlled the play. “Having never won at this tournament before, to come away with victories and solid performances in a fantastic achievement,” Adams wrote. “[It] shows the progress of what has been happening in the Kootenays.” Boasted as a scouting showcase, the AstroTurf Collegiate Showcase brought in scouts from and representatives from nearly 30 American and Canadian universities and colleges, including but not limited to Central Washing-

Toronto FC’s Giovinco named MLS MVP CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto FC forward Sebastian Giovinco has been named MVP of Major League Soccer. It’s the latest and biggest accolade this season for the 28-year-old Italian international. Giovinco won the Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer, was voted top newcomer and named to the league’ Best XI. He is also a finalist for goal of the year. In his first season in North America, Giovinco rewrote the Toronto FC record book while leading the league with 22 goals and 16 assists.

He also helped lead Toronto to the playoffs for the first time Giovinco beat out Columbus striker Kei Kamara and Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber in voting by players, league officials and media. The MVP award is named after retired U.S. star Landon Donovan. Giovinco is the first player on a Canadian team to win MVP honours. Canadian Dwayne de Rosario won in 2011 when he started the season in Toronto but was traded to the New York Red Bulls before finish-

ing the year with D.C. United. Giovinco did not come cheap, with a salary of US$7.1 million. But the Italian was directly involved in two-thirds of Toronto’s 58 goals this season. He also led the league in shots (181) and shots on goal (73). And Giovinco seemed happy doing it, a pleasant change from England’s Jermain Defoe who left TFC after one season. Feilhaber made $362,200 this season while Kamara earned $536,650.

FIFA subject to raids & arrests in Switzerland ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH - The New York Times says Swiss authorities have conducted another series of pre-dawn raids and arrests as part of investiga-

tions into corruption in international soccer. The newspaper, citing law enforcement officials, reported at least some arrests took place at the same luxury hotel

where FIFA officials were arrested in May in early morning raids that rocked the sport. The report said police entered the Baur au Lac hotel at 6 a.m.

ton University, University of Lethbridge and North Idaho College. As it stands, there are 340 prospects playing in three Whitecaps devel-

opment centres through the Kootenays -- 130 based out of Nelson, 120 based out of Cranbrook and 90 based out of Castlegar/Trail.

Is it important to buy high quality supplements?

With

MLA,

By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Nutritional supplements come in many different forms and doses which will have an effect on any therapeutic benefit that you are trying to achieve. In this month’s article I have outlined a few reasons to be diligent and search out high quality supplements.

1. No additives or fillers

Inexpensive supplements are able to be sold at a lower cost because they use a combination of nontherapeutic ingredients as fillers and low doses of the intended nutrient. A few of the many non-medicinal ingredients from one of the most common multivitamins include FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, Modified Food Starch, Hydrogenated Palm Oil and Maltodextrin. Not only are these ingredients unnecessary, they may actually be harmful to your body and block the absorption of the ingredients that you want.

Bill Bennett

On Nov 25th, BC Hydro announced the biggest contract in BC history ($1.5 billion) that will create thousands of jobs and will result in a dam that provides a century of aﬀordable, clean, and reliable electricity.

2. Tested for toxins

There are currently no regulations requiring ‘natural’ health supplements to undergo testing for dosage or toxins that may be found in certain products. The main supplement of concern is fish oil as some fish contain high levels of heavy metal toxins which will be more concentrated in the oil. High quality supplement manufacturers will have their products tested by a third party to ensure that they are not exposing their customers to poisons.

3. Higher Doses

High quality supplements may cost more because they contain doses of the wanted ingredients that are high enough to achieve a therapeutic effect. As the cost decreases, often times so does the dose and in order to receive an adequate amount you may have to take a large number of capsules or tablets. When doses are compared directly, it usually leads to the discovery that the “expensive” supplements are actually lower in cost. Again, professional line supplements are third party tested to ensure the dosing is accurate.

4. Most absorbable or active form used

Apart from higher doses, quality supplements will also contain the form of nutrient that is most available to be absorbed and utilized by your body. Along with higher doses and the absence of unnecessary ingredients, using the most available form will ensure you are receiving the proper nutrients and better equip you on the journey to achieving your health goals. Overall, look for supplements that contain no artificial preservatives, artificial flavour or colour, yeast, GMO corn, GMO soy, wheat, gluten, milk, sugar, starch, heavy metals or PCBs. Always consult a Naturopathic Doctor or other health professional that is trained in this area before starting a new supplement.

White Tiger Tae Kwon Do scores success at Big Sky Championships Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s White Tiger Tae Kwon Do returned from the Big Sky Championships in Kalispell, Mont., in November and brought a big medal haul back with them across the border. Clubs from Alberta, B.C., Idaho and Montana were in attendance at the event, which featured competition in a variety of disciplines, including poomsae and sparring. Poomsae sees students judged on prearranged movements and patterns as opposed to hand-to-hand combat.

Sparring at the Bg Sky Championships differs from sparring in B.C. in that it is full contact, including head contact at all age levels. In B.C., head contact is not permitted until competitors are at least age 12 and in possession of a black belt. In poomsae, the Cranbrook crew was mightily successful, with Gabriel Cory (silver), Sarah Jewsbury (silver), Alexander Rode (silver), Ethan Sawatsky (silver), Ainsley Zmurchyk (silver), Jayce Calder (bronze) and Ava Chiz (bronze) all collecting medals.

In sparring, the White Tiger athletes also fared well, with Jerrid Butler (gold), Zmurchyk (gold), Hunter Chiz (silver), Calder (bronze), Ava Chiz (bronze), Nolan Palmer (bronze) and Rhy Palmer (bronze) all scoring medals. One of the highlights of the weekend came as Butler stormed back from down five points, landing two spinning head kicks to take gold in the final seconds of his third-round spar. According to White Tiger Master Steve Desjardins, the experience was a great one for the entire club.

VANCOUVER - B.C. Lions GM Wally Buono will return to the sidelines next season. Buono will replace Jeff Tedford as head coach, the CFL team said in a release. Tedford resigned Wednesday after guiding the Lions to a 7-11 record in his first season. “After much consideration, I have elected to exercise an option in my contract and will resign

as head coach of the B.C. Lions in order to pursue other opportunities in college football,” Tedford said in a statement. “I want to thank Lions ownership, management, coaching staff and players and in particular Lions fans for the opportunity and privilege of serving as head coach this past year. “The team displayed great fortitude in overcoming several obsta-

cles this season and the future is very bright for these young Lions. I wish the Lions family the very best and long and continued success.” Buono has spent 13 seasons as GM of the team and has 22 years of coaching experience with B.C. and Calgary. The four-time coach of the year most recently coached in 2011, when he led the Lions to a Grey Cup victory.

Stamps RB Jon Cornish retires from CFL C ANADIAN PRESS

Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish announced his retirement Wednesday after nine CFL seasons, three rushing titles and two Grey Cup rings. The 31-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., was the CFL’s leading rusher and top Canadi-

an from 2012 to 2014. Injuries limited him to nine games each of the last two seasons. “I’m very comfortable with my decision,” said Cornish. “Over the years with this team, I feel we’ve been able to achieve everything that is possible to achieve both as a team and as an

individual.” Cornish broke Normie Kwong’s 56-year-old single-season rushing record for a Canadian with 1,457 yards in 2012. Cornish broke his own record the following year with 1,813 rushing yards and was named the CFL’s most outstanding player.

hristmas time is filled with many different traditions. Many people decorate their homes with Christmas trees, and songs are sung with family members who come from near and far to share gifts and companionship. Families with young children often make visiting Santa Claus a part of their annual traditions. During the holiday season, Santa can be found taking up residence in department stores and malls across the country. Thousands of children and their parents will wait in line to get some face time with jolly old St. Nick. The following are a handful of ways to make kids’ visits with Santa even more pleasant. · Do a test run.

sitting on a stranger’s lap can be terrifying for youngsters. Acclimate your child to the experience by visiting the mall to see Santa and become familiar with what he looks like and how he acts. It may take a couple of visits before your child is ready to wait in line for the real visit. · Go off-peak. Visit Santa when the store just opens or when lines are not as long, such as during school hours or dinner time. This should cut down on the wait and create a less tense experience. Confirm visiting hours so you don’t arrive only to find he’s out to lunch or feeding his reindeer. Do not schedule anything after the Santa visit, so you don’t feel rushed. · Dress comfortably. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing so neither you nor the kids will be uncomfortable. The goal is to look nice for the photo, but not at the expense of the chil-

dren’s comfort level. And while you should be comfortable as well, be sure to look presentable, in the event you have to hop into the photo if that’s the only way your son or daughter will tolerate the experience. · Pack some supplies. Bring snacks and drinks for the kids so hunger does not make them antsy. Bring along a change of clothes in case someone spills food or spits up before your turn. · Get Santa recommendations. Ask friends and neighbors which Santas they visit. Many stores will have a Santa on hand, but not every Santa is as adept at handling children. You want someone who is used to making children feel welcome and comfortable. Above all, try to have a good time and don’t expect perfection. Sometimes the best Santa-visit moments are the ones that are unrehearsed.

Santa Says hang stockings with care M

antles adorned with garland and other holiday trinkets make fireplaces come alive for Christmas. That magic is only enhanced by hanging Christmas stockings, which are just waiting to be filled with goodies for good girls and boys. Those without a fireplace often hang stockings from windowsills and stairway banisters. No written record

The man behind the beard

Every

Christmas Eve, children go to bed eagerly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way.

Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of

spinsters, St. Nicholas secretly tossed bags of coins through a window (or down the chimney, depending on which version of the story you read or hear), and they were captured in the girls’ stockings hanging to dry by the fire. The family was overjoyed to have received such riches. Soon news traveled about the mysterious money in stockings,

and other children left out stockings for St. Nicholas to capture their own gifts. The tradition has transformed over the years, and now many children hang stockings by the chimney with the expectation that the stockings will be filled with gifts from Santa. Traditions once suggested that only gifts from Santa were left in stockings, while gifts placed

beneath the tree were from family, but that has since changed. Stockings are now meant to hold small gifts while larger items are placed under the tree. Stockings should be hung away from the flames of the fire as a safety precaution. Some children even like to hang individual stockings on their bedposts instead of on a fireplace mantle.

unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faithful, and he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from merchants to sailors to pawnbrokers.

Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrificially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own. Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered

exists to explain the origin of hanging stockings on fireplace mantles. Despite this, many people link the tradition to a tale about St. Nicholas. As that story goes, St. Nicholas was traveling through a village when he overheard the plight of three women. They were poor, and their father could not afford an ample dowry to marry them off. Rather than have them end up

Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others. Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death. His charity and

Did you know?

No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a forensic laboratory in England reviewed historical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s. Researchers concluded that he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet in height, with a broken nose.

Leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus is a Christmas Eve tradition. Children regularly place a dish of cookies and a glass of milk by the tree on Christmas Eve so that Santa has enough energy to complete all of his gift-giving before kids wake up on Christmas morning.

The tradition of leaving cookies out on Christmas Eve may trace its origins to Saint Nicholas. On the feast of St. Nicholas on December 6, children would leave food and drink for the saint and any attendants. The treats would be exchanged for gifts.

While that’s one theory behind the tradition, others think it is linked to the history of the Christmas tree and the edible decorations that adorn it. Santa would snack on the ornaments. Even after edible decorations gave way to inedible ornaments, the tradition of leaving a snack for Santa remained. Whatever the origins behind the tradition, millions of children dutifully leave milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Holidays potentially hazardous to pets The holiday season is full of joy. But in the midst of decorating and socializing, pet owners may overlook the needs of their pets. Hectic schedules and homes full of unusual décor can throw pets off-kilter. No pet owner wants their pet to feel uncomfortable or suffer any injuries, so it’s important that owners exercise caution with the following items come the holiday season. · Bones: Is turkey on the menu for the family feast? If so, resist the urge to toss some bones and scraps to dogs or cats. Small bones or bone chips can become lodged in the digestive tracts of pets and cause serious injury. If you want to provide your pet with a holiday treat, choose a safer, storebought bone. · Aromatic oils: The

holidays are not the same without the familiar scent of mint, cinnamon or pine. Some people resort to scented candles or aromatherapy oils to create the perfect

Enjoy

holiday ambiance. But some synthetic aromas or even natural extracts can be toxic to cats and dogs. Stick to nontoxic items and keep them well out of the pet’s reach. · Chocolate and other sweets: An abundance of treats seems to be par for the course during the holiday

season. Dogs should avoid all chocolate, but dark chocolate poses a particularly serious threat. Chocolate can cause agitation, elevated heart rate, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, and even death. In addition, candy or cookies sweetened with the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause a dangerous

drop in blood pressure for dogs. · Pine needles and trees: When ingested, pine needles can puncture the intestines of pets. In search of an easy drink, dogs and cats may be drawn to the fresh water reservoir of live trees, increasing the likelihood that they knock

over a Christmas tree, injuring themselves and causing damage around the house. Trees should be properly secured, and fallen needles should be promptly discarded. · Tinsel and decorations: Skip the tinsel if you have a cat. Felines are likely to mistake tinsel for a toy. Eating tinsel can cause severe damage to a cat’s intestinal tract, as it may get caught in the stomach while the rest of it continues to pass through the intestines. Tinsel also may wrap around the tongue, increasing the cat’s risk of choking. Ornaments also are tempting playthings. Cats may pounce on glass ornaments, breaking them

and suffering injury. Keep pets in mind when selecting tree ornaments, and opt for unbreakable ornaments when possible. · Electrical cords: The American Animal Hospital Association says holiday lights mean more electrical cords for kittens and puppies to chew. Secure all cords and keep them out of reach of pets. · Candles: The subtle flicker of a lit candle can add ambiance to a space. But all it takes is the swish of a tail or the pat of a paw to knock over a candle and spark a fire. Never leave lit candles unattended. If you have boisterous pets, opt for LED simulated candles instead.

Support a local business with your holiday shopping (NC) Canadian households are getting ready to go shopping now that the holiday season is here. Whether for gifts, clothing, decorations, alcohol or food, it is estimated that in 2013 households spent an average of $1,800 in preparing for these few days of festivities. Even though Christmas and the New Year are all about the importance of sharing and spending time with family and friends, this season is also associated with numerous purchases. Would you like your shopping to be more meaningful this year? If so take advantage of the opportunity to support businesses where you live and, at the same time, impress your family and loved ones with items created by local talent? “Our neighbourhoods are full of small businesses that give our communities their unique character,” explains François Ramsay, senior vice-president, corporate affairs, at Yellow Pages. “Every purchase from a local merchant has a direct impact on the surrounding neighbourhood.

vitality and prosperity to heart at Yellow Pages. That’s why we believe it’s important to support small businesses across the country and simplify their interactions with their community.” Not only do they make life easier with their product offering and their proximity, as well as contribute to the overall growth of the Canadian economy, Ramsey points out that these local businesses also enhance the vitality of their specific neighbourhoods. Even if we just do our holiday shopping locally, it can have a significant impact on the future. In addition to showing gratitude for the work of these entrepreneurs, it can help them provide these services throughout the year.

Make a child’s first holiday special A baby’s life is filled with milestones. First smiles, first steps and first words are just a few of the moments parents will treasure.

open the gifts. Stores stock several different fun and festive prints, or look into pajamas that can be personalized.

A baby’s first holiday season is another special time to cherish. Shoppers seeking gifts to make a baby’s first holiday special have many clever, cute and functional items to choose from. Several of these gifts can become keepsakes to be tucked into memory boxes for growing kids to look at later in life.

· Photo print package: Photography packages can involve the entire expanding family and will catalog special moments in time. Purchase studio or on-location time with a private photographer, or use one of the popular photography chains found in malls and department stores.

· Christmas pajamas: What better way to await for the arrival of Christmas than in a pair of snuggly pajamas? Send pajamas ahead of Christmas Day so that new parents will have plenty of adorable photo opportunities as their baby boy or girl tears

· Personalized framed print: Commemorate the first holiday season with your child by getting a print made with his or her name and age. Leave a space on the print so that the child’s parents can customize it even further with their son or daughter’s

footprints. Include a matted frame and child-safe ink or paint to complete the gift. · Keepsake ornament: Some families embrace the tradition of adding a new ornament to their Christmas trees each year. Purchase an ornament for the new baby with the year so he or she can join in the tradition. · Crochet or knit blanket: Crafty individuals can make a blanket that the newest addition to the family can enjoy during the chilly days of winter.

These blankets often become treasured keepsakes that may be passed down throughout the family or kept tucked away for kids so they can give them to their own children once they start their own families. · Rocking horse: Babies don’t wait long before they start to run around and climb. A classic rocking horse makes for a fun baby gift, and rocking horses come in many different styles. If you are the family carpenter, you can even purchase some unfinished wood

from a craft store and then make this into a homemade gift your favorite little guy or gal will always cherish. · Piggy bank: Foster good saving habits by gifting a personalized piggy bank. Get kids off on the right foot by depositing a few dollars into the bank before giving the gift. A new baby brings many changes and fun experiences. Gift-givers can make a baby’s first holiday season one filled with joy and whimsy with creative gift ideas.

Keeping the

Magic of Santa alive

key city theatre He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And Ilaughed when I saw him in spite of myself. - “A Visit From St. Nicholas” Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation.

Holly & Jon January 20

Parents typically go to great lengths to ensure their children enjoy the holiday season. By keeping the magic of Santa alive, parents can add a special touch to the holiday season for their youngsters. Children may become more skeptical of Santa

around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year. * Read an uplifting story. The holidays are ripe with stories that tug at the heartstrings. Parents can take their children to the library and rent a Christmas tale or take home a book of holiday stories, reading a different one before bed each night. Encourage children to write their own positive stories of what the holidays mean to them and read them aloud to family and friends. The book “101 Ways to Keep the Spirit of Santa Alive: For “Kids” From 1 to 92” by John Hagerman is a great way to get everyone in the house enthusiastic about Santa. * Keep the magic flowing.

Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Find a way to trigger noise on the roof to give kids the impression that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more. * Take advantage of opportunities to spend time with Santa. Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season. * Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa’s job is to bring presents to the world’s children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family. Schedule a day when you can distribute gifts at a senior center or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving. Keeping the tradition of Santa Claus alive can help adults and children alike enjoy a more festive holiday season.

Christmas tidbits to put you in the holiday spirit · Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years

· Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

· In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible. · Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.” Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

· Santa has his own official postal code. It’s H0 H0 H0. · The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the

before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999. · Christmas was not declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.

· Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expensive gift is the swimming swans.

· Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard. · Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female. · Christ may have

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have the ability to change a situation with your ideas and attentiveness. You are likely to surprise others by acting in a most unexpected way. Communication between you and someone at a distance is confusing at best. Tonight: All’s well that ends well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll gain an insight that might make you uncomfortable. A child or loved one could be quite distracting, despite your efforts to accomplish certain tasks throughout the day. A partner simply can’t seem to leave you alone! Tonight: Give up. Give in. Have a great time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stay anchored, and know what you want from a situation. The unexpected is likely to occur in a meeting. You could be fired up and react too quickly. Ask questions before you make judgments. You know where you are heading. Tonight: Good vibes surround your home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to others before you make a decision. A boss might shake up the status quo. The unexpected will have you floundering for a short period. Avoid having a knee-jerk reaction, and ask questions for a better understanding. Tonight: Optimism saves the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You need to be more careful when dealing with your finances. Pressure builds between you and a loved one. You can talk until you’re blue in the face, but you’ll still need to keep your finances separate from those of this person. Tonight: Decide if you can afford an indulgence. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will want to listen, but the unexpected continues to throw a situation into chaos. Communication at home could be confusing and not particularly beneficial. Opportunities will emerge from out of the blue. Tonight: You call the shots. Others are willing to go along. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Think through a problem before

Tundra

discussing it. You need to know what your limits are and what seems workable. Confusion surrounds a conversation, no matter which way you decide to go. Be reasonable in a request you make. Tonight: Make it a personal night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on your priorities. You could find others to be full of ideas, some of which you have toyed with yourself. An animated conversation points to a new approach. Know that you will get what you want, but through an odd sequence of events. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone who has clout holds a very different view from yours. Find out which direction would be best to head in. You have a lot going on. Do not fight city hall. Sooner or later, things will work out as you would like them to. Tonight: Out till the wee hours again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to see the big picture. You might not agree with others, and perhaps you don’t know

what would be best to do. Recognize your limits right now. State your boundaries so that others know what to expect. Unusually good news heads your way. Tonight: Take a risk. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating might be difficult at first, especially as you and someone else attempt to work out a financial situation. This person has a greater understanding of the matter than you do, and he or she will create the type of money flow you desire. Tonight: The decision is yours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be very tired of hearing the same story over and over again without seeing any growth or resolution. You might not see eye to eye with a higher-up right now. Why not kick back and let others see the results of their plans and thinking? Tonight: A must appearance.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My granddaughter, “Tara,” is 27 and a single mother of a 4-year-old daughter. I have been the child’s caregiver since birth, and we are very close. When Tara lost her job, we allowed her to move in, with the understanding that she would get another job and pay us rent that we would put aside for a down payment on her own place. But it’s been seven months and she hasn’t showed much interest in finding a job. Tara doesn’t contribute anything for the household, nor does she offer to help much around the house. She gets $50 a month in support money from her deadbeat ex, which she uses for cigarettes and gas. We have set several deadlines for Tara to leave, but we know that she would end up living in her car or on someone’s sofa. I am worried about the child. I have threatened to ask for custody, but my husband and I are almost 70 and on a fixed income. I don’t really want to raise another child. I feel trapped in my own home, and it’s causing conflict in my marriage. I don’t trust Tara’s judgment. I’m afraid if we ask her to leave, she will take the child and we will never see either of them again. They may not even survive. We have tried counseling, but it didn’t help. What can we do? -- Anguished Grandmother Dear Grandmother: You keep setting boundaries that you are unwilling to enforce and Tara knows it. However, your fears are not completely unfounded, so we understand why you feel trapped. Where are Tara’s parents? Could they contribute to her care? Are there other family members who would take her in on a temporary basis in order to give you a “vacation”? You are doing a wonderful thing to raise this 4-year-old in a stable environment. While there are limits on motivating Tara, most states provide help for raising a young child. Your state or county may have specific resources in your area, and you can check with your local Department on Aging. Dear Annie: I read “Drained and Frustrated,” and wanted you to know that Medicare pays for most of a 100day nursing home visit if you have had a qualifying three-day hospital stay. Otherwise, once someone’s money runs out, the family should contact the local social services office and ask about Medicaid. Many nursing homes will accept a patient even if the application is in process. People many times consider themselves a “failure” because they couldn’t take care of a loved one. But nursing facilities have many things to offer their residents, along with support for the family. To “Drained and Frustrated”: Don’t expect your mother to be happy with your decision. But you can have a life beyond caregiving, and your mother will be well cared for. Who knows, she may even make a friend or two. -- Nurse Manager at a Long-Term Skilled Nursing Facility Dear Manager: Hundreds of readers wrote to correct us on confusing Medicare and Medicaid. We should have known better. We appreciate your clarifying that, along with providing encouragement to “Drained.” Our thanks to all who wrote.

Federal government declares fish habitat on proposed Alberta coal mine site Bob Weber CANADIAN PRESS

The federal government has declared dozens of streams and rivers in a scenic section of southwestern Alberta as critical habitat for an endangered trout species. Wednesday’s announcement was welcomed by environmentalists, but it might complicate plans for a mountaintop coal mine proposed for the area. The Alberta Wilderness Association immediately said it would drop a lawsuit against Ottawa that sought to force the federal government to issue the order. Under law, critical habitat for native cutthroat trout was supposed to have been declared more than a year ago under the previous Conservative government. “We’re happy that we likely do not have to follow through with it,” said Brittany Verbeek, the association’s conservation director. Verbeek said the order lends protection to the creeks, streams and tributaries draining

Grassy Mountain Coal Mine near Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. into the Oldman and Crowsnest rivers that are home to the trout. The fish were already protected under the Fisheries Act; now their home is protected under the Species At Risk Act. “It just means that the area surrounding where the fish live has that increased protection.” Changes to the stream, such as increasing its sediment load,

are now forbidden. The Alberta government is considering an application from a subsidiary of an Australian company to build a coal mine on a mountaintop in the protected habitat. Benga Mining proposes to turn 12 square kilometres on the top of Grassy Mountain near Blairmore into a terraced site. At the same time, the province’s energy regulator is investigating the

company for a release of coal into Gold Creek, one of the streams included in the critical habitat declaration. A recent survey by a fisheries biologist found virtually all southern Alberta streams that spawn native trout are threatened by industrial development or overuse. Lorne Fitch studied 54 small rivers and streams that flow into the Oldman River and which hold bull and cutthroat trout, largely in the area now considered critical habitat. He found nearly all of them face damage from logging roads, energy development and off-highway vehicle trails. Scientists suggest land that contains trout streams shouldn’t have more than just over half a kilometre of trail, cutline or road per square kilometre. The disturbance density in parts of the Oldman watershed is nearly 10 times that. Cutthroat populations are estimated at five per cent of historic levels.
