This past weekend the KiXS race team went to Canmore Alberta to kick off the race season with a classic distance and a skate distance race. The weekend came with some warm weather and sunshine. The first day was a shorter race for everyone, our youngest racer Marielle Ackerman had a great race placing second. In the Juvenile category we had two girls racing, Mackenzie Mclean placing 16th and Molly Miller taking the gold. In the Junior girls Annika Ackerman was 15th. On Saturday we had another warm day with a longer skate race. Marielle Ackerman came out with a medal, Mackenzie Mclean placed 7th and Molly Miller pulled out the gold medal once again. Annika Ackerman was 15th. Overall it was a great weekend of racing had by all, we will be heading to Vernon B.C this coming weekend for the next race of the season. Live results will be posted on zone4.ca. As well you can find us on Facebook for updates and info about the race team at “Kimberley Nordic Racers”
The City of Kimberley will be taking a hard look at the Kimberley Community Development Society, and its role in the city’s economic growth. KCDS was established to fund and administer Kimberley economic development activities. The mandate of the society is: To plan, develop, activate, promote and operate community, recreational, historical and cultural attractions in the City of Kimberley. The Society was involved in operating the Kimberley Ski Hill before it was sold to Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, building both Trickle Creek and Bootleg Gap Golf Courses and both the former Happy Hans Campground and the new Riverside Campground and mini putting course. It currently manages the Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre (KCATC); Cominco Gardens; Kimberley Riverside Campground and the Snack Hut building. In a report to Council, Director of Economic Development, Kevin Wilson says that at this time the future of KCDS is uncertain, as is the future of some of the assets it manages. “New tourism assets are not part of the City economic development agenda,” Wilson writes. “As well, it is not desirable for KCDS to be a caretaker and it needs to continually add value. One vision for the evolution of KCDS is a self-sufficient organization that supports the foundations of community economic development and contributes non-tax municipal revenue through community enterprises that earn a return.” KCDS has been tasked with completing a cost benefit analysis on municipal management of the Conference Centre by January 31, 2016. The City’s contribution to the Conference Centre is scheduled to reduce by a further 10 per
cent this year, and every year thereafter. The City is also asking KCDS to prepare a prospectus to market the sale of the Conference Centre by the end of June 2016. Conference Centre revenues increased $16,500 or 17.5% over 2014. In 2015 the operating grant from the City was $29,000 or 19% less than in 2014, totaling $125,400. A salesperson to specifically market the Conference Centre has been retained as well. It is now recognized that the idea of marketing the centre as a para-athletic training centre is not viable. Wilson reported that The first five years of operation have been plagued by costly maintenance issues with the building’s heating and drainage systems. In addition to the operatinggrant, the City continues to make $150,000 annual payments on the $2 million construction loan. It may be better, Wilson says, for the centre to be directly managed by the City or be sold to the private sector if a buyer could be found. Riverside Campground is a success story. Campground occupancy continues to grow annually, averaging 82% in 2015, up from 35% in 2004 (131 sites total). Half the campground-operating surplus is returned to the City and half is retained in a campground capital fund. An average of $80,000 has been returned to the City annually over the past five years. KCDS has also been asked to look at its other operations. By June 30, 2016, a cost-benefit analysis on municipal ownership of Cominco Gardens will be completed, and other revenue-generating activities will be explored. By January 31, 2016, KCDS will complete a cost-benefit analysis on municipal ownership of the Snack Hut building. KCDS will undertake Board development and review the KCDS Mandate.

Cranbrook Community Theatre
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Southern Comfort and Charm Highlight an Explosive Family Drama
For the Townsman

Twenty Questions Answered
The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Kimberley Daily Bulletin, in our ongoing mission to reflect the community, are pleased to present “20 Questions,” answered by those individuals who make our community great — which is everybody. We don’t intend to stop until we’ve covered everybody (but we’re leaving the politicians until last). This week, Alexa Laing Moore of Lotus Books 1: If you were to become Cranbrook urban wildlife, would you rather be a deer or a skunk? And why? After some serious consideration, I have to say that I would prefer to become one of Cranbrook’s local skunks. The deer receive mixed reviews all throughout town but no one really minds the skunks. And despite the offending musk, skunks are really quite adorable. 2: If the East Kootenay should become its own country, where should the capital be? Well, as we are the “Key City” it seems perfectly logical that Cranbrook would become the capital of the East Kootenay Republic (EKR has a nice sound to it). 3: If the East Kootenay should become its own country, should West Kootenay residents require visas? Visas as proof of residence make sense to me, as long as they are easy to obtain and are recognized worldwide. 4: What do you specifically seek out at the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market? It’s not a fulfilling day at the market without a stop at Mama’s Dumplings; and without fail, I always purchase a few of the beeswax tapers and a local blend of tea. 5: Who’s your favourite Cranbrook musician or band? If it’s yourself, you have to say. I may be biased, but my favourite local musician would have to be my younger brother, Theo Moore, of the Good Ol’ Goats and Bonecrusher & Friends. 6: You have a night off — what’s your entertainment of choice in the East Kootenay? If Alex Webster happens to be playing at The Byng, I can be found on the couches or the dance floor with his girlfriend. Otherwise it’s books and tea at home for this lady. 7: If you could bring anything to the East Kootenay that isn’t already here, what would you bring and why? I think we really need more in the way of creative arts programs at the College of
Alexa Laing Moore the Rockies. Selkirk College in Nelson has some really tremendous courses that I’d like to see offered in Cranbrook. 8: One person, living or dead, you’d like to have an alcoholic beverage with? I’d give my left leg to find out what Dame Maggie Smith’s drink of choice is and then spend the evening indulging with her. 9: Favourite Cranbrook historical figure? I can’t say that I find Colonel James Baker particularly inspiring. In recent history, however, I have been and continue to be inspired by the works and life of Manwoman. 10: Your favourite annual fundraising event? Walk a Mile in Her Shoes has to be my favourite annual fundraiser for obvious reasons. 11: Favourite movie of all time? Why? Without a doubt, The Princess Bride remains my favourite film ever. Amid all the perfect little Disney fairytales I grew up with, The Princess Bride offered fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... 12: Last book you read?
I just finished California by Edan Lepucki, a novel set in an apocalyptic America following an economic crash that I found too feasible for my liking. 13: What is something most people won’t already know about you? I was in speech therapy for awhile when I still lived in Calgary, which is probably the reason I speak so particularly these days...though I still can’t pronounce my –ing sound perfectly. 14: What’s your biggest superstition and why? To this day I always look up to see the first star in the sky and cast my wish. Some people say they feel small and insignificant when they look up at the sky, but I always feel connected to something greater than myself. 15: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Among the usual dreams of veterinarian, singer, actress and French ingénue, I always wanted to be a witch when I grew up. Goal accomplished. 16: Favourite Cranbrook Street? 10th Avenue is my favourite place to be, mainly because that’s where Lotus Books and Max’s Place are! 17: Least favourite Cranbrook street? The Strip is stressful and rather underwhelming in appearances. 18: If you could tell a visitor to the East Kootenay anything, what would you say? If you ever want to find out where your limits lie, set out to scale Fisher Peak. You may be surprised at what you overcome on the mountain and within yourself. 19: What superpower do you desire? Shape shifting would be a dream come true; I’d love nothing more than to ride the thermals as a raven and howl at the moon as wolf. 20: Favourite coffee shop in Cranbrook or Kimberley? Why? Of all the coffee joints in the immediate area, Max’s Place is my favourite. The staff there are always very pleasant and the lattes are consistently sublime!
Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) brings Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize winning play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” to the Stage Door Theatre in January 2016. First presented in 1955, the themes of this play cannot be tied to any era. It’s a sprawling, high-energy tale that fits somewhere between “Dallas” and Shakespeare. The audience will join the Pollitt family as they celebrate Big Daddy’s 65th birthday. Set in the bedroom of Big Daddy’s troubled son Brick and his wife Maggie, family members clash over their futures, face truths, and tackle the question of who deserves to take hold of the largest plantation in the Delta. Director Terry Miller has gathered his dream cast and crew to tackle this classic. “This is a rich story, with complex characters and requires a highly skilled group to make the best of it,” says Miller. “Although everything about this play appears simple, none of it is, and I am so very lucky
to have this group of wonderful people helping me put this show together.” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” runs for 10 nights; January 15 & 16, January 20-23 and 27-30, 2016 at the Studio/Stage Door, 11-11th Ave South, Cranbrook. Tickets are available at Lotus Books. All performances at 8:00 p.m. The second show of CCT’s 2015/2016 season, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” continues the theme of family. The families we are born into, marry into and the families we choose - our friends. The final show of the season is Neil Simon’s “Odd Couple” set to hit the stage in May 2016. CCT has been entertaining Cranbrook and area audiences for more than 50 years. The society strives to promote and develop local talent: on stage, behind the scenes, or in the director’s chair. CCT believes theatre, music, dance, and art play an important part in the community, and are pleased to call the Studio/Stage Door home.

Charlie and her mom enjoy creating a special sleigh for Santa! 250-427–0716. capckimberley@telus.net The years between birth and school-age are a critical time in a child’s life. The experiences that children have in the early years influence their future health, well-being, and life-long learning. Children who have had exposure to language rich environments and play based early learning experiences are more likely to de-
velop the skills, knowledge and dispositions to support their success in school. Some of the benefits children experience from attending these programs are increased development physically, linguistically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. Parents and caregivers gain knowledge of activities they can try at home to further support their child’s learning,
learn about a range of guidance strategies that support social and emotional development, receive information on other services in the community, acquire knowledge of healthy snacks they can continue to feed their child at home and/or pack for that child when he or she starts school.

This week’s poll: “Should the City of Kimberley sell
This morning I woke up to another news report that food prices are going to rise even further in 2016, and one of the significant causes of this increase could be climate change. Food costs in Canada rose by 4.1% in 2015, a rate that is much higher than any other industrialized country, according to CBC News. People in this area care deeply about the food they eat, and as a region, we are looking more and more at growing food locally. There are numerous projects and organizations that have taken serious steps
our citizens. And in the Adapting to Climate Change in Kimberley report from 2010, food security was listed as a Top 10 priority for the city. The Columbia Basin Trust has listed in its Strategic Priorities document for the next five years support for local agricultural production and access to healthy food. Local governments, community-based organizations, and citizens are doing their part to bring this critically important issue into focus. Real plans are being developed. Recommendations are being implemented. And we are starting to see early results from that effort. But it is past time for the province to step in and meet its obligations to ensure we can feed ourselves into the future.

MLA Report It’s not too late From Page 3 The Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food, composed of 5 NDP MLAs and one Independent MLA, recently released their first report. Recommendations ranged from removing regulatory and administrative barriers to farming through to the promotion of BC farm products and businesses. Specifically, there were recommendations to help us prepare for the challenges that will increase due to climate change. Recommendations state that the Ministry of
Agriculture should disclose the long-term implications of all future legislative and policy change, and Cabinet-ordered ALR exclusions, in the context of climate change, and state that the Ministry should report annually on BC’s long-term food security. We know that higher food prices are coming. And we know that climate change is affecting the areas that we currently rely on to provide our food. We must put pressure on the provincial government to do something meaningful to address this issue.

to get a flu shot for the Bulle tin
As people come together to celebrate the holiday season, influenza (the flu) can spread quickly so Interior Health is reminding the public that it is not too late to get your flu shot. Influenza symptoms often include sudden high fever, headache, general body aches and pains, fatigue and weakness, a runny, stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. In some cases, influenza can lead to more severe illness such as pneumonia and even death. “The flu shot is the safest and most effective way to prevent influenza,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Getting a flu shot helps protect you from influenza and it also helps prevent you from spreading it to family, friends, and those who may be more vulnerable to serious complications from influenza.” The flu shot is still available at pharmacies, physician offices and through local public health centres. To find a flu shot provider near you visit Immunize BC’s Flu
Clinic locator (http://immunizebc.ca/clinics/ flu#8/49.246/-123.116 ). “I encourage everyone to get their flu shot as soon as possible, especially those in high risk groups. Protection from influenza generally begins 10 to 14 days after immunization. Getting a flu shot now will protect you and your family over the holiday season and into the New Year”, adds Dr. Golmohammadi. The flu shot is free for: · seniors over 65 years of age · children six months to 59 months of age · Aboriginal people · pregnant women · people with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, and diabetes · people who live with or care for people in highrisk groups · visitors to a health care facility For a complete list of those at risk and eligible for a free flu shot visit the Interior Health website (https://www.interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/ Immunization/SeasonalFluCampaign/Pages/ default.aspx).

City Bylaw Services reminds residents to control their dogs For the Townsman
Residents are reminded that allowing your dog to run at large in the City of Cranbrook is not allowed, under the City’s Animal Control Bylaw. The Bylaw requires the owner of any dog to ensure that it does not run at large. “Run at Large” is defined in short as any dog located on property other than that of the owner
and not under immediate control by means of a leash. The Animal Control Officer may impound any animal found to be running at large and keep the animal impounded until all impound fees have been paid. If the dog is not already licensed, a license must be purchased prior to its release. The owner may also be subject to a fine of $100.00 for
allowing the dog to be at large, regardless if it is impounded or not. A sterile, licensed dog would cost $25 rising to $150 per impound after 3 impounds; a non-sterile, licensed dog would cost $40 rising to $165 after 3 impounds. A sterile, unlicensed dog would cost $50 rising to $175 per impound after 3 impounds; a sterile, unlicensed
dog would cost $65 rising to $190 per impound after 3 impounds. Any complaints can be directed to the Bylaw Office at 250-489-9598. For more information about the City’s Animal Control Bylaw, please visit our website and click on ‘Bylaws & Council Information’ under City of Cranbrook Links.

Clark on carbon tax, government ads Premier Christy Clark sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview at her Victoria office Dec. 9. Here are excerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at www.dailytownsman.com. TF: At the UN climate conference in Paris, did you speak about natural gas as a transition fuel, and did you find support for that idea? PCC: Yes and yes. The new government in Ottawa is a big supporter of our LNG plan, and part of the reason for that is that they also see it as a way forward for Canada to make a huge contribution to fighting global climate change. There are 150 coal plants on the books in China today. The only way that those plants and the ones that come after will be stopped is if they have a transitional fuel to move to. TF: B.C.’s 2020 greenhouse gas target, reduction of emissions by a third, is another target that isn’t going to be met. Why? PCC: When the government brought in the carbon tax, it was based on the assumption that other jurisdictions around us were going to eventually catch up. And none of them have.
There comes a point where the carbon tax can only get so high before we start chasing all those jobs out of the province. TF: Your advisory committee says the carbon tax needs to go higher starting in 2018 if it’s going to have an effect. Do you have any other choice? PCC: Let’s figure out what the national goal is going to be, which we don’t know yet. TF: On a related topic, BC VIEWS transit spending. Your new minister Peter Fassbender has Tom talked about a “new day” in Fletcher Ottawa and he’s downplaying the idea of another referendum for new funding sources. Is that off the table now? PCC: It may be possible that the federal government wants to invest more in transit, and take up some of the slack from the local government level. TF: On LNG, oil and natural gas prices continue to go down, and supply continues to go up around the world. Did you see any positive signs this year? PCC: What I saw this year was developing countries, especially China, making a firm commitment to reduce their emissions. The only way for them to do that is to move to a greater degree to natural gas, and the bulk of their industry is still locat-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ed on the east coast of their country, a long way from Russia and close to B.C. TF: Are we going to see some policy action on high housing costs in 2016, and will there be some relief from the property transfer tax? PCC: You’ll see in the February budget, but we are looking for ways to provide some relief for home buyers. TF: We’re starting to see government advertising ramp up. We saw a lot of Jobs Plan advertising before the 2013 election, we saw the federal government do it with their Economic Action Plan, which was very expensive, and to most people’s eye self-serving or political in nature at taxpayers’ expense. Is that what we’re going to see in the next year and a half? PCC: It won’t be political. I think some of that was, really, political. You will see more information-based advertising out there, talking to people about for example, the Registered Education Savings Plan. TF: Not Jobs Plan 2.0? PCC: I don’t think that’s in the plan. I wish I could say to you no, never, but I, you know…. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

With three games remaining before the holiday break, the Kootenay Ice hope to get on track. “We’ve got to try to stay positive,” said Ice forward Matt Alfaro. “We’ve got three games until break here and we can’t waste those games.
We’ve got to keep going.” Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Swift Current Broncos went into the books as the ninth consecutive defeat for the Ice (6-252-0), who sit deep in the lonely shadows of the WHL cellar. The Medicine Hat Tigers (10-182-1) sit 21st in the 22-

Ice forward Matt Alfaro, posing with sponsors and supporters, scored the teddy tally 34 seconds into a 5-2 loss to the Swift Current Broncos. team WHL with 23 points -- nine ahead of the Ice (14 points). “We need some secondary scoring and we need to drive to the net to get those [greasy] goals,” Alfaro said.
“[We need to] play smart and play a full 60 [minutes].” Getting a win before the holiday break won’t be an easy task as the the Ice remain banged up, with five regular skaters
out due to injury. After getting River Beattie back from head issues, the team lost Vince Loschiavo (lower body, two to four weeks) and Roman Dymacek (lower body, two to four weeks).
“It affects a lot of things -- fatigue, roles -but the one big one is chemistry,” said Ice head coach Luke Pierce. “There’s not been any [consistency]... It’s all new line combinations.
It’s tough. “But beyond that, the individual work ethic from man to man needs to be better.” Puck drop between the Ice and Rebels is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday night.
Buckley boosts Dynamiters to pair of divisional wins Veteran forward plays lights out over weekend as Nitros knock off Rockies and Thunder Cats
Taylor Rocc a
Night in and night out over the course of a four-year KIJHL career, Eric Buckley has taken a beating. Whether in the corners or in front of the net, the 5-foot-9 native of Penticton goes where many won’t and he continues to pay the price to make the play. In his 20-year-old season, that penchant is paying off as the pesky Kimberley Dynamiters winger is producing at a career rate with 44 points in 31 games, already surpassing the career mark he set in 2014-15 (43 points in 47 games). Friday in a 5-1 win over the Columbia Valley Rockies, Buckley was undoubtedly the best player on the ice, scoring twice and setting up two others to pace the Nitros. Saturday, he played the role of overtime hero as the Dynamiters edged the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. “Buck has been phenomenal all year long, in terms of the abuse that he takes,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Dynamiters, following Friday’s victory. “He
just keeps on taking it, keeps on ticking. He’s changed his game completely from what he used to be — he used to be the player that would take undisciplined penalties and he’s turned that around totally. “I’ve got a lot of respect for him.” Friday night, it looked as though old Eric Buckley might make an appearance, as referee Graham Waugh sat the pintsized forward down on back-to-back shifts for a pair of minor penalties in the first period. “Sometimes he’s got my number, sometimes not,” Buckley said with a smile in regards to the attention he gets from officials. After serving his time, new Eric Buckley was out in full force from there on. The recent commit to the University of Jamestown started the scoring in the second period, cleaning up a rebound in front of the Rockies net. With Quinn Sobus serving a tripping minor, Jared Marchi sent a point shot towards goaltender Connor McKay but the puck never made it
through a clutter of bodies. Captain Jason Richter took a swipe before the rubber found Buckley and he deposited it for a 1-0 lead. Moments later, Rockies defenceman Kobe Eagletail caught Nitros forward Korbyn Chabot with a high hit. The infraction was Eagletail’s second head-contact penalty of the night and this time around he was served with a five-minute major and a game misconduct, effectively ending his evening early. With 1:25 remaining in the major penalty, Buckley picked the pocket of a Rockies forward at centre ice, turning and
burning in two-on-one with Brendon Benson. Buckley dished to the newcomer Benson who made no mistake in putting the puck past McKay for his first goal as a Dynamiter, extending the home team’s lead to 2-0. “It was all Buckley,” Benson said with a grin Friday. “He read the play perfectly on that rim, pick-pocketed that ‘D’ man and made a great move around their last ‘D’ man. I just happened to be in front of the net. “It’s a good confidence booster. It’s always good to have a goal in the new jersey.” The goal went on to stand as the eventual
game-winning tally. The Rockies scraped their way back to within one goal in the second period after Dynamiters defenceman George Bertoia was cuffed with a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind. All it took was five seconds for the visitors to convert, as Luke Bellerose redirected a point shot past a bewildered Mitch Traichevich who, along with the fans in the Kimberley Civic Centre, called for high sticking to negate the goal. The officials were having none of it as the Rockies made it a 2-1 contest. But that’s as close as

the visitors managed on this night as the Dynamiters pulled away in the third period. Benson added his second power-play marker of the night just past the midpoint of the third period to make it a commanding 4-1 lead for the hosts. The 19-year-old native of Lethbridge has shown great flashes in three games, tallying two goals and two assists, since joining the Dynamiters last week following a stint with the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. “We’ve got a tight squad in here and everybody plays for each other,” Benson said. “That’s what you need out there, especially in
the long run when you’re looking at playoffs.” Buckley’s fourth point of the night rounded out the scoring, all but ensuring first-star honours for the Dynamiters alternate captain. “When you’re 20 years old, you’ve got that extra confidence out there,” Buckley said. “I’m just trying to make this season a memorable one because it’s my last.” Traichevich earned his sixth win of the season by stopping 19 of the 20 pucks sent his way.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A group of us have been friends for more than 40 years. We graduated from high school together, but while the rest of us went to college, started careers and settled down with families, “Ray” was smoking pot, partying and working paycheck to paycheck in an entry-level job. He was so wrapped up in “doing his own thing” that it never occurred to him to have a relationship. Now we are nearing retirement age. The rest of us are able to take time to travel, pursue our interests and spend time with our families. Ray is still living hand to mouth. And every time we get together or see his Facebook page, he is griping about how hard his life is and how much he envies us. We’d like to point him toward services that might be able to help him a little bit and show him how to make a realistic budget. The services have to be free, though, because Ray won’t take “charity” from the rest of us, and if he has to pay for anything, he won’t be able to afford it. There’s no guarantee he’d take advantage of even a free referral, but we are tired of hearing him carrying on about the life that, after all, he chose for himself. Do you know of any free resources that could rescue someone who’s always been clueless about money? -- Ray’s Friends Dear Friends: It’s romantic to “live for the moment,” but that doesn’t mean you cannot also plan for your future. You undoubtedly know that, even with outside assistance, Ray might not change his ways. It would require an entirely new mindset, and that takes effort that he seems unwilling to make. You can look into Debtors Anonymous at debtorsanonymous.org, or get information on local credit counseling through the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.ftc.gov. (Search “choosing a credit counselor.”) Dear Annie: I am responding to the letter from “W.,” whose neighbor constantly complains about the noise from her townhouse, even though she’s not doing anything particularly noisy. The neighbors living in the condo below me used to phone and yell at me for practically any noise. They complained about the way I walked in my home even though I went barefoot most of the time to assuage them. They went to bed at 8:30 p.m. and expected me to shut down then, as well. They spoke to an attorney who told them I wasn’t breaking any noise ordinances, but they still called incessantly to complain and were sometimes verbally abusive. So I spoke to my own lawyer. He suggested that I ignore them, but I told him I was being harassed, bullied and verbally abused and that I was not going to put up with it. If they were that sensitive, then they should have not moved into a condo with neighbors living above them. The lawyer and I resolved it by presenting them with his business card and informing them that any future complaints were to be directed to him. If they complained directly to me, it would lead to a lawsuit for harassment. -- N.C. Dear N.C.: Threatening to sue someone is always an option in this country, although we think it should be a last resort. Too many people think it is the first step.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this Pest Management Plan (PMP) No. 514-0007-16/21 is to reduce overall mosquito annoyance in Kimberley by limiting larval development using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to control. The PMP focuses on larval mosquito control initiatives which use public education, physical site modification, biological and biorational controls that reduce larval mosquito populations and conserve or enhance natural mosquito predators wherever possible, including the use of non-persistent, bacterial larvicides. The proposed duration of the PMP is from 12 May 2016 to 11 May 2021. Larvicide products proposed for use include Vectobac 200G, which contains the natural-occurring soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, (PCP #18158) and VectoLex CG (PCP # 28008) made with the bacterium Bacillus sphaericus. Both of these products provide species-specific control of mosquito larvae and are non-toxic to other organisms including fish, birds, wildlife, man and domestic animals. This Pest Management Plan replaces the previously approved 5 year PMP which expires 12 May 2016. Mosquito larvae require stagnant or non-flowing waters, temporary or permanent, to develop. When physical alterations (draining, filling) are neither practical or desireable, developing larvae will be treated using VectoBac or VectoLex larvicides. Total area for larvicide treatment is not to exceed 225 hectares of public lands in each year of the PMP. Applications of Vectobac 200G and VectoLex CG will be made using aerial (helicopter) and ground-based, hand-broadcast or back pack applicator methods. All applications will be conducted within, and immediately adjacent to, the City of Kimberley. This Pest Management Plan is being prepared for the City of Kimberley by D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd., an environmental services firm, with extensive experience in pest management plan development and local mosquito control operations. Information on proposed treatment areas, annual mosquito control program operations and this PMP are available to the public by request through D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. 20619 – 91A Avenue, Langley, BC, V1M 2X2, (604) 881-4565, Facsimile (866) 759-5902, or email, dgra@telus.net. A person wishing to contribute information regarding a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of this Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. (agents for the City of Kimberley) at the contact addresses above within 30 days of the publication of this notice. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in response to this notice and application will become part of the public record.

Celebrating a century of Sinatra S h aw n M a r s h Associated Press
F
rank Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board, Ol’ Blue Eyes and The Voice. But “Slacksy O’Brien?” That was an early nickname for Sinatra in the Hoboken neighbourhood in the U.S. state of New Jersey where he grew up because, as a youngster, he wore nice clothes. Some young-atheart residents of Hoboken might be raising a glass to the award-winning singer and actor on Saturday on what would have been his 100th birthday. A look back at a century of Sinatra: From Here To Eternity Francis Albert Sinatra was born on Dec. 12, 1915, in the Hudson River waterfront city that was home to German, Irish and Italian immigrants. His father, Anthony, was a boxer who fought in Irish gyms as “Marty O’Brien” before becoming a firefighter and tavern owner. His
mother, known as “Dolly,” was connected to the local political machine. Even though the family initially lived in a cold-water apartment at 415 Monroe St., they eventually had such luxuries as a radio, telephone and car while his mother made sure her son had nice clothes, Hoboken Historical Museum director Robert Foster said. Start Spreading The News The high school dropout delivered the Jersey Observer newspaper and worked at a shipyard. The car - and a driver’s license in which his name was misspelled SINTRA - helped gain him a spot in 1935 with the singing group the Hoboken Four. They won first prize on a national radio program for amateur entertainers. He became a singing waiter at The Rustic Cabin in Englewood Cliffs, where he met songwriter Cole Porter, and forgot the words to Porter’s hit, “Night And Day,” the 100 Sinatra
The file also contained Sinatra’s mug shot, taken by the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office in 1938, after his arrest on a seduction charge that was later dropped.
Frank Sinatra by Gottlieb, 1947. website said. Radio led Sinatra to big bands and stardom. Strangers In The Night Sinatra offered his
assistance to the FBI in 1950, according to a confidential memorandum obtained in 1998 by The Associated Press. It showed Sinatra felt there was an opportuni-
Wikipedia
ty to “do some good for his country under the direction of the FBI.” He was “willing to do anything even if it affects his livelihood and costs him his job,” the memo said. The FBI turned down the offer.
Luck Be A Lady Sinatra’s Rat Pack persona is associated with Las Vegas, but he gets credit for filling Atlantic City’s casino showrooms with top talent after he appeared in 1979 at the city’s first casino, Resorts International. Following a show at Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget in 1983, Sinatra and Dean Martin demanded a blackjack dealer break the rules, costing the casino a $25,000 fine. A commissioner called Sinatra “an obnoxious bully” with a “bloated ego.” Sinatra scrapped an engagement and his lawyer issued a statement saying, “He will not perform in a state where appointed officials feel the compulsion to use him as a punching bag.” His last engagement in Atlantic City was at the Sands in 1994.
Drink Up, All You People People left flowers near the plaque where Sinatra’s first home once stood when he died in 1998 at age 82 and the city held a memorial Mass at St. Francis Roman Catholic Church, where Sinatra was baptized. Whatever real or imagined slights felt by some residents were forgotten. Sinatra was inducted in the first class of New Jersey’s Hall of Fame in 2008. A park and the city’s main post office bear his name. The Postal Service in 2008 issued a 42-cent stamp with his image, taking the rare step of holding three ceremonies in Hoboken, New York and Las Vegas. But for a saloon singer who usually had a drink on stage, Sinatra’s ultimate honour came from Jack Daniel’s, which introduced Sinatra Select whiskey in 2003. To honour the 100th anniversary of Sinatra’s birth, Jack Daniel’s produced 100 barrels of 100-proof Sinatra Century, which retails for $499.99 and includes an unreleased Sinatra recording.
NASA Want Ad: Astronauts needed to help get to Mars Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Need more office space? How about outer space? NASA opened its astronaut-application website Monday. It’s accepting applications through Feb. 18. Contenders need to be U.S. citizens with a bachelor’s degree in science, math or engineer-
ing. Expect intense competition: More than 6,000 applied for NASA’s last astronaut class in 2013, with only eight picked. It’s an elite club, numbering only in the 300s since the beginning. Future astronauts will have four spacecraft at their disposal: the International Space Station, two commercial
crew capsules to get there, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft for eventual Mars trips. Pay is between $66,000 and $145,000 a year, and you’ll have to move to Houston. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, a former astronaut, says this next group will help “blaze the trail” to Mars.
Astronauts hope to see new Star Wars movie on actual space station Associated Press
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan - Timothy Peake, the first Briton to represent the European Space Agency aboard the International Space Station, will be away from the planet for six months but looks forward to Earthly pleasures like seeing the new Star Wars movie and having a Christmas pudding. Peake is to blast off Tuesday from the Russian manned space facility in
Baikonur, Kazakhstan, along with Timothy Kopra of the United States and Russian Yuri Malenchenko. At a crew news conference on Monday, Peake said he expects ground staff will be able to download “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” for the crew to watch. Peake says he’s also looking forward to microgravity experiments inspired by Isaac Newton.
