Noteable business and community leaders weren’t afraid to strip down on Friday as part of the Miracle on Baker Street fundraiser to benefit the Salvation Army’s homeless shelter. Without wearing, uh, pants, the participants spent four hours in cool temperatures, doing exercises to stay warm and completing challenges—such as a Christmas fruitcake-eating contest—that carried rewards of going inside the Bedroom Furniture Galleries to warm up. In the weeks leading up to event, participants raised money through pledges throughout the community. More than $55,000 was raised. See more this week in the Townsman.
MLA addresses energy CFUW seeks nominations for Woman of the Year at Chamber meeting SUBMIT TED
TRE VO R CR AWL EY
Energy was on the mind of Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett as he addressed the Chamber of Commerce at a monthly luncheon last week. Bennett, who serves as the Minister of Energy and Mines, was the keynote speaker for the event, who spoke about British Columbia’s leadership in energy conservation and climate action. Bennett had two central points to his speech—first noting what the provincial government has done on the energy and climate change while wrapping up with what the future looks like in terms of legislative policy. He began with a history lesson on Liberal policies concerning the carbon tax, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable and innovation technology funding. He punctuated his speech many times by noting that B.C. was one of the most progressive jurisdictions in North America
on the climate action front. However, he tempered that by noting that it is important to remain environmentally conscious while being competitive economically. “We are so far ahead of the rest of this country and the vast majority of North America and the world. If we get too far out in front of what we’re trying to do, we could easily find ourselves being uncompetitive in our major industries,” Bennett said. “Our major industries are energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries. We sell all our stuff off-shore for the most part, whether it’s mining, oil and gas, forestry, agriculture… “We have to be very careful that we don’t get out too far. This is going to be a debate over the next year and a half leading into the next provincial election.” He gave a nod to his namesake—W.A.C. Bennett (no relation)—the former B.C. premier
who was instrumental in building major hydroelectric dams on in the Columbia and Peace River regions. In large part because of those legacy projects, Bennett said 97.9 per cent of B.C.’s electricity is clean. Some of those major hydroelectric dams can generate power for 100 years, he added. “It’s pretty cool for us to be able to say that. You look around the world, places like Ontario that are trying to get off coal and now Alberta, which has said they’d like to reduce their reliance on coal to generate electricity,” Bennett said. “You look in Europe, in Germany—the Germans are working pretty hard to clean up their energy. They want to have 50 per cent of their energy clean by 2050. We’re 97.9 per cent clean electricity in this province already.”

The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Cranbrook Club is looking for nominations for Cranbrook’s Woman of the Year, 2016. Woman of the Year for the East Kootenay was created by CFUW Cranbrook Club in 1984 to honour an outstanding woman who gives of herself either in paid work and/or as a volunteer in her East Kootenay community that betters the lives for those around her in her community. This East Kootenay woman can also be one who not only gives of herself in her own community, but also at the provincial, national and international level. Part of the criteria set out 31 years ago asks for nominations of a woman whose efforts create better opportunities for education, opportunities and/or safety for women and girls in her community at all the levels this woman serves in, yet by doing all this extra “work”, the nominated woman did not ignore her family’s needs. Those wishing to nominate a member of a woman for Woman of
the Year 2016 would be wise to get your candidate selected immediately. It is preferred that the woman being nominated is unaware of her name being put forward. The club asks that the nomination committee form your nomination statement as to why you think this woman should be selected as Woman of the year 2016 by the CFUW Cranbrook Club. From there, the nomination committee will work to find friends, family, co-workers, co-volunteers of this woman to write support letters to the nomination of this woman. Then, the chair of the nomination committee will send the nomination with the committee and other letters of support to Cathryn Henley at 805 – 29th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3K5. Deadline for all nominations is Monday, 12 noon, February 15, 2016. It is the hope of the CFUW Cranbrook Club that we are able to honour Woman of the Year 2016 on International Women’s Day, Tuesday, March 8

Cranbrook Library launches endowment fund $10,000 invested with the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation F or t he Towns man
CRANBROOK – The Cranbrook Public Library is investing in its future. A $10,000 cheque was presented to the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF) on December 10 to establish the Cranbrook Public Library Endowment Fund. Every year, The Cranbrook Public Library will financially benefit from the interest income earned off its fund. “This year we celebrated our 90th anniversary,” said Ursula Brigl, Chief Librarian. “The library has been around almost a century and we plan to continue to serve this community for centuries to come. That is why we are taking these first steps towards a permanent endowment fund which will help to contribute to our vision of a sustainable financial future.” The library endowment fund was partly established with money raised at the 1920s Gala Fundraiser Nov. 21. at the Royal Alexandra Hall. “We are very grateful for the ongoing support

a new and exciting opportunity for all of us.” CDCF endowment funds are held in perpetuity, which means the Cranbrook Public Library Fund is not only secure and permanent,
but will grow stronger every year. “We are so excited to work with the Cranbrook Public Library to launch their fund and will be putting forward a committed and ongo-
ing effort to grow it and maximize its return to the library,” says Riley Wilcox, CDCF executive director. “We are passionate about connecting donors to community needs and opportu-
nities with the ultimate goal that all citizens benefit from the best our community can offer in arts, recreation, health care, education, and social services. “Together, we can
build strong and resilient places to live, work and play.” For more information visit www.cranbrookcf.ca or www. cranbrookpubliclibrary. ca
Dixon’s Service Center,NAPA Autopro $5,000 Lights a Star For the Townsman
EKFH is proud to announce the lighting of its 8th large star atop the East Kootenay Regional Hospital as part of the 2015 Starlite Campaign. NAPA Autopro dealers from Southern BC and Alberta gathered this past fall to play golf in the 2nd annual John Dixon Memorial Golf Tournament. “Our corporate office and our dealers have great respect for John and the Dixon family and it’s been our pleasure to come together to raise funds for EKFH a charity that the family has a passion for,” reports event organizer Josh Braithwaite, Banners & Major Account Coordinator of the NAPA Autopro Group in Calgary. The fun-filled event featured a team scramble, mulligans and an auction resulting in generous support of $2,605 for the foundation’s annual holiday giving campaign. Even more remarkable was
the generosity from the Dixon family who have donated their own $2,500 for an accumulated give of $5,105 that is being dedicated to EKFH’s mission to provide funding to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and other community facilities in complementing the health care needs of the region. Marian Dixon shares, “We are still very connected to and involved with NAPA Autopro. Helping to light this star for our hospital is not just for John but for every NAPA Autopro dealer, staff and customers that supports our businesses.” The Starlite Campaign officially kicked off on November 27 and will continue through to January 31, 2016. Every donation EKFH’s receives no matter how big or small can truly light a path for others. If you are interested in learning more about the work of the foundation or wishing to make your own donation please visit www.ekfh.ca.

For the future, the government has dictated that for new electricity demands, 66 per cent must be found through conservation and not new generation. “It’s not a bad thing to use less electricity, it’s a good thing,” Bennett said. “It’s not a bad thing to use less diesel and less gasoline. It’s a good thing, intrinsically, to conserve, and a lot of what we’re doing is based on conservation.” The carbon tax, introduced in 2007, was designed to be revenue-neutral, meaning that the government gives back the amount collected as tax relief, Bennett said. Despite a few blips on the economic radar during the Great Recession, the provincial economy has fared well with the carbon tax, Bennett said. “Our economy has grown, our employment has grown and our confidence has grown during the whole time that we’ve had our carbon tax. We were not only the first province in Canada, but the first jurisdiction in the world, to create a wide application of a revenue neutral carbon tax,” he said.

MLA Bill Bennett at the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday, Dec. 9. “No one else in the country is doing it; Alberta has announced that they’re doing it, but it’s not revenue-neutral.” Other policies include legislating a minimum of five per cent
renewable content in gasoline and four per cent in diesel. Further initiatives include a Clean Energy fund, where companies looking to develop green technologies can apply for grants. Bennett said
he just signed off on a $1 million grant for a company near Whistler developing technology that can extract carbon dioxide out of thin air and turn it into a fuel. In the larger context of moving towards renewable fuels, Bennett says that the world will still be relying on fossil fuel for the time being, but the transition is already happening. “We are going to have to bridge towards reliance on renewable fuels,” Bennett said. “We’re going to be relying on fossil fuels in our economy, I think, for a very long time. We can argue, and I do argue, with those from the environmental organizations that the transition has to happen faster, that it can happen faster. It comes down to cost, it comes down to available technology.”

Special avalanche warning in effect through Monday Townsman Staff
A special public avalanche warning for recreational backcountry users is stil in effect until at least the end of today, Monday, Dec. 14. Avalanche Canada issued the warning on Friday, December 11. It was slated to be in effect to the end of the day Monday.The warning applies to the central Columbia Mountains and encompasses portions of the following forecast regions—the Kootenay-Boundary, South Columbia, North Columbia and Cariboos. The area of concern is the mountainous terrain that lies north of a line roughly between Penticton, Nelson and Cranbrook, and south of a line between Williams Lake and Valemount. The west boundary is highway 97 between Penticton and Williams
Lake; the east boundary is the Columbia and North Thompson rivers. The region can be viewed on a map here. The main concern is low-elevation, open terrain such as cut-blocks, explains says Karl Klassen, Avalanche Canada’s Public Avalanche Warning Service Manager. “This situation is a bit unusual,” adds Klassen. “These areas below treeline are often considered as safe playgrounds. But with this current condition, we have had many reports of unexpected avalanches that are definitely large enough to cause injury or death.” Avalanche Canada recommends avoiding steep slopes of any size between 1400 and 1800 metres elevation, including cut-blocks, cutbanks on roads, and
open areas in mature timber. Due to recent storms and winds, higher elevations in many areas are also primed for avalanches and extra caution is advised for the weekend and early next week. For up-to-date information check the daily forecasts at www. avalanche.ca and Avalanche Canada’s Mountain Information Network. Every person in a backcountry party needs to wear an avalanche transceiver in transmit mode and carry a probe and a shovel in their pack. Ensure all equipment is well maintained and in good working order. Avalanche training and practice in using rescue equipment is essential to ensure a fast and efficient response in case of an emergency.

Remembering Paul Dickeson What’s Up?
P
P e t e r Wa r l a n d
aul Mill Dickeson was born in Rhodesia and came to the Kootenays with his Scottish wife, Maggie. He taught in both Kimberley and Cranbrook. He was a quiet, thoughtful man but, luckily for several of us, he fell in with a group of roughnecks like me. Because he’s the only man I’ve ever met who, because of linguistic problems, had to converse in Latin whilst hitch-hiking in Italy, I called him PAULUS MAGNUS. It is extremely difficult for me to recall anything too serious about Paul. Daft things seemed to happen all around when we were together trying to get something done. When we first encountered one another, I thought he was one of those ‘posh’ speaking Englishmen I had always mocked and he, somehow,
came to the conclusion that I was a janitor. If he had seen my car at the time he would soon have realized that janitors drove big, shiny new vehicles. Paul soon intimated that he would be interested in going with me into the hills and, when it came down to rock-climbing, it was like teaching grandmother to suck eggs. He had smaller, neater feet than I do and they stayed where he put them. I did best him at skiing, probably because I had started earlier than he did. He did accomplish some remarkable head-plants and, when showing off, he managed to crack a rib after an exuberant fall at my feet. This was just after he’d quit smoking. Guess what happened. Paul was a stoic. No long distances nor appalling weath-
er conditions deterred him and he could fall asleep at any time. He adored nestling in his green culvert, especially if he had a dog or two to raise the inside temperature as the rain water rushed through. He was a stoic about food too. Maybe his asthma affected his palate so that he could stomach the awful, the tasteless and the icy cold. While others fussed and fumed over their diets, he just chomped away. However, he could down a cup of tea in any shape or form. Neither Paul nor I had any mechanical ability yet managed to survive several breakdowns in the bush, and my recollections of many snow-mobile trips involved setting light to things in order to get them going and Zorba the Greek dances when they didn’t.
Paul owned several disreputable back-packs over the years and all, it seemed, had been thoughtfully pre-packed with the necessities of survival: caps to wear at rakish angles, stubs of candles for waxing skis in the usual emergencies, odd bits of string for frequent repairs or for whenever necessary, dog-hair draped band-aids for other people’s wounds (though usually rejected) and, of course, duct tape. We never knew when it might be necessary to tape my hiking boots to my skis because, somehow, I’d forgotten my ski boots, or to repair Paul’s boot that somehow came apart when we were standing waist deep in fresh powder snow and wondering. Maybe, if Paul had had one of those packs to hand, he might have survived that last stroke. You never know.
Reconciliation Is A Verb
T
J oyc e G r e e n
he Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has concluded its painstaking and pain-filled exposition of the misery inflicted by the Canadian policy of enforced residential schooling on Aboriginal children and has issued its final report. In its evidence is the truth part: Canadian democratic governments legitimated genocide and human rights abuses against children. In our names. That’s what democracy does: it mandates governments to act in the collective name of citizens, who then in theory assess the action through the electoral system. Bear in mind “Indians” (an artificial category that erases the particularity of Indigenous people in all our diversity) were not considered citizens till 1956 but, despite serving in high numbers in both Great Wars, could not vote until 1960 when Prime Minister Diefenbaker ‘gave’ Indians the vote. The residential school policy was not for the benefit of “Indians” but for settlers: it was intended to de-Indianize the youngest generations so that there would be “no Indians and no Indian problem”, in the crystal-clear words of Duncan Campbell Scott, the deputy superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932. It actually wasn’t much of an education program at all (note that the federal government still spends thousands less per student in reserve schools than provinces do in the public school system, and ask yourself if there is a thread of continuity here). The residential school policy was part of Canadian colonialism, along with land theft and genocide. Colonialism has inflicted incalculable damage on Indigenous peoples of every generation. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission heard the testimony of many who attended the residential schools subcontracted by the state to various Christian denominations and produced the Final Report, the Executive Summary, and the Calls to Action so that all Canadians may know the Truth. They are available in digital form for all who are interested. All should be interested. The TRC and the state were also to attend to the healing of those who have been damaged in ways that are best un-
derstood as child abuse and PTSD. Yet we are lurching toward ‘reconciliation’ ahead of healing, and really, without most Canadians or our elite political institutions having grappled with the truth. Truth-telling in a reconciliatory process is meaningless if it is not heard by those who have benefited from the damage – by those who enjoy what for shorthand we’ll call white settler privilege – and for those who have laid their truths bare, the exercise is unsatisfying unless there is some positive consequence that can produce a measure of change. What to do? Too many seem to think that by virtue of the colonized having told their truths, reconciliation is attained as we all just ‘get over it’ ‘going forward’. Not so quick: in between truth and reconciliation there must be recognition of what happened in our collective name; recognition of the damage done by the democratic state to those who have been oppressed by definition since occupation; recognition of the illegal and immoral nature of this continuing state of affairs, and recognition of the requirement for remediation of all of these things. The state acted for Canadian citizens, who have obtained all the goodies the state has to offer, at the expense of Indigenous people who have been stripped of virtually all of their: sovereignty, autonomy, cultural corpus, language, children, elders, health, wealth and opportunities. This recognition was surely withheld by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, which refused to adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Moreover, that same government acted in ways that prima facie violate the UNDRIP and the Constitutional law of Canada by, for example, making resource development the Prime Directive despite the lack of meaningful consultation with and the absolute lack of consent by Aboriginal nations whose territories and communities are affected by that development. The Harperites refused to recognize the intergenerational damage consequent to colonialism in the suffering demonstrated by outrageous levels of incarceration of Indigenous peoples; disintegration of Indigenous families marked
by the loss of children into the largely incompetent and indifferent child welfare systems; the under- and un-employment of Indigenous peoples in their own communities and elsewhere; the lack of access to basic incidents of human rights and citizenship such as education, clean water, health care and housing; and the rising barometer of pathology in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women body count. Indigenous people voted in unprecedented numbers to get rid of the Harperites and bring in a federal government that will pay some attention to Indigenous concerns. Prime Minister Trudeau is making all the right gestures to date, and the Opposition New Democrats and Green Party are supportive of these. This is evidence of some measure of recognition. Recognition is a necessary though insufficient condition for reconciliation. Recognition must be accompanied by restitution. Unless and until the colonial state returns at least some of the land, negotiates shared jurisdiction over resources and tax room and makes other compensatory amends, there will be no reconciliation. Saying ‘sorry’ – as thenPrime Minister Harper did -- just isn’t enough without actions that make amends. And only then can we anticipate the possibility of Right Relationship – a state of being that is constantly negotiated, beneficial to all, and is the manifestation of reconciliation. The model exists in Indigenous understanding of treaty frameworks which contemplated ongoing adaptable relationships with the capacity to carry us all into a positive future. Until we have the preconditions for reconciliation, the truth will not make us free of the reality of colonialism – not only historically, but right now, across Canada, in Indigenous communities and everywhere else as well. And only reconciliation can take us into the future together. Joyce A. Green is Professor at the Department of Politics and International Studies University of Regina, currently living in Cranbrook

COP21: Cheering and Fearing
T
he climate deal that almost 200 countries agreed to in Paris on Saturday was far better than most insiders dared to hope even one month ago. The biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and the United States, are finally on board. There is real money on the table to help poor countries cut their emissions and cope with warming. They have even adopted a target of holding the warming to only +1.5 degrees C, instead of the limit of +2 degrees that was the goal when the conference opened. So the thousands of delegates who spent two weeks dickering over the details of the deal in a drafty exhibition hall north of Paris felt fully justified in cheering and congratulating one another on a job well done. Given all that, it’s a pity that the deal won’t actually stop the warming. The plus-two limit was always too high. It began as a scientific estimate of when natural feedbacks, triggered by the warming that human beings had caused, take over and started driving the temperature much, much higher. It was actually quite a fuzzy number: at somewhere between +1.75 C and +2.25 C, the feedbacks will kick in and it will be Game Over. So +2.0 C, for political purposes, became the limit. Beyond that, governments told us, we would have “dangerous warming”. Nonsense. We are having dangerous warming now – bigger storms, worse floods, longer droughts – and we are only at +1.0 C. At plus-two or thereabouts, what we get is catastrophe: runaway warming that can no longer be halted just by stopping human emissions of carbon dioxide. Nature will take over, and we will be trapped on a one-way escalator that is taking us up
to +3, +4, +5, even +6 degrees. Hundreds of millions or even billions of people would die as large parts of the planet ceased to be habitable by human beings. If you don’t want to risk unleashing that, then you don’t want to go anywhere near +2, so the official adoption by the world’s governments of +1.5 degrees as the never-exceed limit is a major step forward. But note that they have only pledged “to Gwynne pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to Dyer 1.5C,” not to succeed. The hard-and-fast promise is still not to go past +2 – and there is not even any guarantee that that will be achieved. In order to avoid a debacle like the one at the last climate summit in Copenhagen six years ago, nobody even tried to put enforceable limits on national carbon dioxide emissions this time. Each country was just invited to submit the emission cuts that it is willing to make. The sum of all those promised cuts (if the promises are kept) is what we will get by way of global emission cuts in the next five years. United Nations experts did the math, and concluded that these emission cuts fall far short of what is needed. If this is all that is done, then we are headed for at least +2.7 degrees C – or rather, for a lot more, because of the feedbacks. None of the negotiations at the Paris conference changed those numbers, or even tried to. So are we doomed to runaway warming? Not necessarily. Most of the negotiators know that the cuts which are politically impossible now may become quite possible in five or ten years if the cost of renewable energy goes on dropping, if techniques like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) become economically viable — and if people are sufficiently frightened by a climate that is
getting wilder and less predictable by the year. So there is a review process built into the treaty. Every five years, starting in 2018, there will be a “stock-taking” exercise in which everybody’s progress in cutting their emissions will be reviewed, and everybody will be encouraged to increase their commitments and speed up their cuts. Whether they will actually do that depends on political, economic and technological factors that cannot yet be calculated, but fear is a great incentive, and there is no government on the planet that is not frightened by the prospect of major climate change. In fact, most of them would have gone a lot further in Paris if they were not nervous about getting too far ahead of public opinion at home. Public opinion will eventually change, because there is going to be a very large amount of damage and suffering in the world as we move past +1.0 and head up towards +1.5. Will it change fast enough to allow governments to act decisively and in time? Nobody knows. Will new green technologies simply sweep the field, making fossil fuels uneconomic and government intervention unnecessary? Nobody knows that either, although many people pin their hopes on it. We are not out of the woods yet, but we are probably heading in the right direction – and it would be right at this point to put in a good word for that much maligned organisation, the United Nations. It is the only arena in which global negotiations like this can be conducted, and its skills, traditions and people were indispensable in leading them to a more or less successful conclusion.

Broncos ruin Alfaro’s efforts on Teddy Bear Toss Night Kootenay Ice fall to Swift Current Broncos on annual charity night at Western Financial Place
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Anything you can do, I can do better. Matt Alfaro might not have been thinking that heading into Saturday night’s annual Teddy Bear, Toque and Mitten Toss game, but he certainly was after it was all said and done. With the Kootenay Ice hosting the Swift Current Broncos, Alfaro took care of business a mere 34 seconds into the first period, depositing the puck past a helpless Travis Child to bring teddy bear rain down onto the ice at Western Financial Place. Alfaro’s lightning-quick tally bested last year’s teddy bear toss marker from Jaedon Descheneau, who beat Spokane’s Garret Hughson 41 seconds into the 2014-15 edition of the annual teddy bear toss in Cranbrook. Unfortunately for Alfaro and the home team (6-25-2-0), the quick jump wasn’t enough as the Broncos (10-17-3-1) went on to a 5-2 victory in Western Hockey League action. “I didn’t know it was that quick,” Alfaro said with a laugh. “Last year I didn’t really get a chance because [Descheneau] scored so quick. It was a cool experience.” Broncos forward Tyler Adams drew things even 7:12 into the first period as the two
teams went back and forth through 20 minutes of play. If Alfaro’s 34-seconds-in teddy bear goal was in an effort to oneup Descheneau, Cale Fleury’s goal at the start of the second period surely must have been intended to one-up Alfaro. Unleashing a heavy blast from the point, Fleury found a hole in Child only 15 seconds into the middle period. Most people were still milling about the concourse and there’s a good chance a number of fans missed both Kootenay Ice goals as a result. “When you’re as fragile as we are right now, goals against do more harm than a goal for does positive,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Saturday night. A little less than six minutes later, an old ghost was back to haunt the Ice once again with the home team skating shorthanded after a delay of game penalty to goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. Overage forward Jon Martin stormed in from the right circle and sent a laser of a shot over the shoulder of Hoflin and under the bar to tie the game 2-2 and that’s where it remained heading into the final 20 minutes of regulation. “Hof comes in after the period and basically takes responsibility for
Canucks loan Jake Virtanen to Team Canada for World Junior Championship CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Jake Virtanen of the Vancouver Canucks was given permission to join Canada’s national junior team on Sunday ahead of the world junior hockey championship. The announcement came just an hour after Hockey Canada completed its first round of cuts to its selection camp roster. Forwards Pierre-Luc Dubois, Michael Dal Colle and Spencer Watson were cut by Hockey Canada after the second of two exhibition scrimmages between the junior team and a team of Canadian university all-stars. Defenceman Jakob Chychrun was also cut by Hockey Canada.
the first two goals against,” Pierce said. “That’s leadership. You need your team to pick him up and work for him. He’s given us a lot of good chances every night.” After 40 minutes that saw the Kootenay Ice, once again, in a position to collect at least a point, everything fell apart in the third period. “We were in this game, another close game that we blew,” Alfaro said. “But we’ve got to try to stay positive. We’ve got three more games till the break here. We can’t waste those games. We’ve got to keep going.” After Zak Zborosky was tagged for checking to the head, Tanner Lishchynsky joined him in the penalty box 33 seconds later after incurring a double-minor for high-sticking Broncos forward Jake DeBrusk. The Ice managed to kill off the 5-on-3, but the Broncos converted on the remaining time to Lishchynsky as Kade Jensen hammered a point shot past Hoflin for a 3-2 Broncos lead. Around the midpoint of the third period, Scott Feser took advantage of a turnover deep in ice territory to extend the lead to 4-2 and Cavin Leth piled on to make it a 5-2 lead late. When it was all finally over, the Ice had only managed a measly four

Ice forward Matt Alfaro (far left) puts the teddy bear toss goal past Broncos netminder Travis Child Saturday night at Western Financial Place. shots in the final 20 minutes of play with the Broncos outshooting them 37-17 through regulation. Child was never really tested as he made 15 stops for his third win of the campaign. Heflin was good on 32 of the 37 pucks he faced. Not to be overlooked, again, was a shorthanded bench for Pierce. The Kootenay bench boss was once again forced to ice a lineup one skater short with six bodies unavailable due to injury or illness. While River Beattie rejoined the fray for the
first time after missing 10 games with a head injury, lost for the foreseeable future were forwards Roman Dymacek and Vince Loschiavo. “It is almost comical to the point of, you get one in, you lose two,” Pierce said. “I looked the other day, just for punishment’s sake — our roster, Oct. 3 or 4, there are three players from our top-nine forwards that are playing. That’s difficult. It affects a lot of things — fatigue, roles, but the one big one is chemistry. “You have Roman and Vince playing in a
top-six role and figuring things out, then they’re out. Practice [Friday], it’s all new line combinations. The game today, it’s all new line combinations. It’s tough. Beyond that, the individual work ethic from man to man needs to be way better.” Saturday’s loss was the ninth consecutive defeat for the Kootenay Ice.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am in a painful position with my mother-in-law. I was pretty sure my husband was talking poorly about me to her, so I asked him whether he had badmouthed me to his mother. He totally denied it, saying, “Absolutely not!” Well, she was visiting recently, and I walked into the room and overheard them both talking negatively about me. I innocently asked what they were discussing and my husband lied outright, saying they were discussing a purchase. My mother-in-law looked like a deer caught in headlights. After she left, I again asked my husband what they were talking about and he reiterated his previous lie. A few weeks later, I got a card in the mail from his mother saying, “If my son ain’t happy, I ain’t happy.” I placed it on my husband’s nightstand. He never said a word and acts as though he didn’t see it. The card has since disappeared. How should I address all of this with my husband and his mom? -- Wife on the Outside Dear Wife: Whether or not your motherin-law likes you is beside the point. Your husband should not be agreeing with her or worse, egging her on in a race to see who can insult you more. When faced with criticism of his wife, he should defend you. Even when you are in the wrong, he should not be badmouthing you to someone outside the marriage. It’s an emotional betrayal, and it shows disrespect. And over time, it can erode the bonds of your marriage. Tell your husband this must stop and ask him to accompany you to a counselor. If he refuses to admit there is a problem, go without him and work on this. Dear Annie: Often when my husband and I go out with friends, we will see another couple we know along the way. Of course, we politely introduce our friends to the couple. The next thing I know, the two couples are laughing, conversing and setting up a future time to get together. Meanwhile, I’m standing there feeling like chopped liver. This has happened more times than I can count. The people we’ve run into seem to think it’s their right to take custody of our friends. If it hadn’t happened so often, I wouldn’t be so upset. Is there a way to nicely communicate to people that this isn’t OK? -- Annoyed Dear Annoyed: If it’s the same people every time, we’d stop introducing our friends to them. If it is a variety of couples that poach your friends, you have two ways to deal with it: You can be flattered that others like your taste in friends and determine not to be upset by it. Friendships aren’t winner-take-all. Your friends can enjoy the company of others without it changing their friendship with you. The other tactic is to make a brief introduction and then say, “Sorry we can’t stay and chat.” Then escort the couple you are with to the car, down the street, and into the restaurant or wherever you are going. Your mistake is allowing their conversation to go on long enough for them to get to know one another and make plans, while you silently fume on the inside.

Lorraine was born in Trail in 1923 (she would tell you she was born in 1935 and was just now 80 year old!). After an early childhood in Trail and a brief stopover in Nelson Lorraine relocated to Cranbrook. It was there that Evka Tadey sent her son Dusan across the street to play badminton over the clothesline with the new girl. Their friendship continued through the school years. After graduation Lorraine began her nursing studies at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. Upon her graduation Lorraine accepted her first nursing position in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Upon returning from the war Dusan travelled to Weyburn to propose to his sweetheart. After their wedding they lived in Yahk where Dusan taught school and Lorraine nursed (Creston?). Eventually they returned to Cranbrook where Lorraine began nursing at the Cranbrook hospital. Lorraine nursed for a number of years, stayed at home with her boys, and enjoyed a fun-filled number of years selling real estate for Caldwell Agencies. Lorraine and Dusan travelled extensively throughout Europe, Australia, China, and Canada. They also spent many winters RVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ing in the southern United States. Four years ago Lorraine joined Michael, Pauline, Samantha, and Robert in Penticton where she enjoyed her granddaughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ball games, her grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf escapades, the sunshine, flowers, Wanna Waffles, and summer weekend mornings having a vanilla bean latte at Okanagan beach. Lorraine lived a long, healthy, independent life on her own terms. Lorraine, Mom, Grandma, Auntie, Great-Auntie, and Friendâ&#x20AC;Ś - we miss youâ&#x20AC;Ś
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I turn to sports with Taylor Rocca.â&#x20AC;?
A celebration of Lorraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held in Cranbrook at a later date (to be announced). In lieu of flowers please make donations in memory of Lorraine to the Alpha-1 Canada, 1638 Northway Avenue, Windsor, ON Â N9B 3L9.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

ewspapers are not a medium but media available for everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.
Adopt a Shelter Cat! The BC SPCA cares for thousands of orphaned and abandoned cats each year. If you can give a homeless cat a second chance at happiness, please visit your local shelter today.
Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.
When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business. Janis Caldwell-Sawley Mortgage Specialist Royal Bank of Canada

Clark adds ex-RCMP officer to cabinet Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a long-time RCMP officer, to the cabinet as public safety minister. Morris was sworn in Friday at the cabinet office in Vancouver, returning the B.C. government to a system where the public safety minister is responsible for police and prisons, while the justice minister is responsible for courts and Crown prosecutors. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has performed both roles since her election as MLA for Vancouver-Fraserview in 2013. Clark merged the two roles in 2012, appointing veteran cab-
inet minister Shirley Bond to the combined role to review the efficiency of the court system. “Mike Morris brings strong experience to the executive council as a 32year veteran of he RCMP and a former North District superintendent,” Clark said in a statement. “Suzanne Anton will continue to spearhead the work to accelerate access to justice, continue justice innovation and will be British Columbia’s lead on the federal government’s Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.” Morris, elected in 2013, was assigned last July to make recommendations for new penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking that ignites forest fires.

Two snowboarders needed to be rescued after the pair became lost on a trip to a nearby peak. The two men visiting from Alberta, and their dog, were found cold and tired early Friday morning by Nelson Search and Rescue. The pair were found by a 12-member team, according to spokesman Chris Armstrong. Armstrong said the search, which began at 5:30 p.m. Thursday after the snowboarders used limited cell service to alert the RCMP Nelson detachment, was hampered by heavy snow and gusts of wind. “These guys tracks were getting blown in, so [rescuers] had to predict where they went to keep searching,” said Armstrong.
The snowboarders had thought they were headed up White Queen ridge, just north of Whitewater Ski Resort. Rescuers eventually decided the pair hadn’t actually gone up White Queen and instead ended up on nearby Mount Beattie. The pair were finally found at 2:34 a.m., and returned to the trail head with rescuers after a nearly three-hour hike. Armstrong said the men were lucky to be found. “They were prepared. They had all the proper avalanche equipment and gear for a day hike. But they weren’t prepared for the multi-day situation they were headed into,” said Armstrong.
