While Maria was proud to be Italian, she was extremely proud to be Canadian and worked very hard to adapt to the Canadian way of life. She is still remembered by many at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital as a tireless worker whose dedication to her final position in Housekeeping was always exemplary. In fact, it was only a few years ago when her name was mentioned at a doctor’s retirement banquet that the crowd shouted “Maria!” Everyone recognized that she was an amazing cook and loved to entertain friends and family, whether it was in her kitchen or around the campfire at Moyie. Maria was very close to her four siblings in Calgary and was always grateful for how close they all were in spite of the miles that separated them. She loved dancing, listening to ABBA, watching old movies, and of course gardening; but the true love of her life were her grandchildren. No one coloured Easter Eggs like Nonna. A loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend she will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered. Maria leaves behind her daughters, Silvana (Jon) Dick; and Dina Detta; grandchildren, Candice, Kyle (Emily), Morgan, Austin, Jason, Eric (Krystal), Ashley, Darian and Danika. Maria also leaves behind her four siblings Domenico (Ellen) Rossi, Ada (Armando) Angelozzi, Terry (Heather) Rossi, and Giselda (Reg) Gerlitz.; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends in various corners of British Columbia, Calgary, Canada and Italy. She was predeceased by her husband Cirillo in 2014; her beautiful daughter Eda in 1978 and her parents Antonio (2004) and Luisa (2007) Rossi. Maria’s funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Mary’s Catholic Church (39 – 10th Avenue South) on Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Her Interment will follow in Westlawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Maria’s honour may be made directly the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society, 20 - 23rd Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 5V1, by phone at: 250-417-2019 or by e-mail at: www.ckhospice.com. A note of appreciation to Dr. Sara Chesney; as well as the wonderful nursing staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. And a very special thank you to family and friends for all their kindness and generosity while assisting Maria through her illness. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021
The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent ○ aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent ○ aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent ○ ○ ○ ○
Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent
○ dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent ○ diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent ○ diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent ○ flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent ○ glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent
○ triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent ○ Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent ○ 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents. The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques. A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities. Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George. BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8. Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

The odds are…
How Canadian lotteries stack up against the U.S. Powerball Aleksandra Sagan Canadian Press
Canadians disappointed at losing out on last week’s US$1.6 billion Powerball jackpot may want to play closer to home, where a number of lotteries not only have better odds but also better value. Anyone with a ticket for the record-high prize last week had merely a one in more than 292 million chance to win. To put that in perspective, someone who purchases 50 tickets weekly would win the jackpot, on average, once every 112,000 years, said Mike Orkin, a former statistics professor and author of “What Are The Odds?” But odds are only one way to determine whether to play. The size of the jackpot and the cost of the ticket help determine what’s known as the expected percentage return of a lottery. “That’s the best way to look at how good a lottery is,” said Shannon Ezzat, a mathematics professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. For the Powerball, like many other U.S.-government run lotteries, people who play over long periods of time can generally expect to make 50 cents on every dollar spent, said Orkin. “In other words, you’ll lose 50 per cent of your investment.” Similar Canadian lotteries can offer a slightly better return, partially because winnings aren’t taxed. In the U.S., winnings can be taxed up to 50 per cent. “That really reduces your expected values,” Ezzat said, which are likely lower than 50 per cent for the Powerball after factoring in taxes. Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49, on the other hand, generally hover between 40 and 60 per cent, Ezzat said. But the risk of multiple winners, which increases as more tickets are sold, can lower those numbers. For example, a single Lotto 6/49 ticket stands a one in nearly 14 million chance of winning. But if 28 million tickets are sold, said Ezzat, it’s more likely there will be two winners splitting the jackpot, which lowers the expected percentage value of each ticket. Charity fundraisers,
meantime, sell more expensive tickets but boast better odds. Among the dozens of charity lotteries, the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s lottery claims that roughly one in two tickets wins a prize. But these lotteries generally don’t provide better expected values than provincial games of chance, Ezzat said, because tickets for these types of lotteries are generally expensive — $100 or more — and the prize values vary. The Heart & Stroke Foundation’s prizes include $1 million, luxury cars or simply $25, $50 or $100 cash. Rather than buying one ticket, Ezzat said some bulk ticket packages — like the Sick Kids lottery’s 20 tickets for $900 — can turn into a good deal if purchased with 19 other people. The expected percentage return per ticket, in that case, is 87, he said. There are also fundraising lotteries, including Chase the Ace. The odds for Chase the Ace, a popular lottery made famous by a recent $1.7-million jackpot in Inverness, N.S., seem to increase the longer the game lasts. It has two parts: a lottery, which then gives the winner the chance to draw the ace of spades from a deck of cards for a bigger chunk of the jackpot. The expected percentage return increases as fewer cards remain, Ezzat said. So-called 50/50 draws, meantime — where the winner pockets half the ticket sales — are a popular fixture at Canadian sporting events. But unless the organizers offer discounted bulk tickets, the expected percentage return is always 50 per cent, said Ezzat. “There’s no benefit in getting in early,” he said. “It doesn’t matter.” But while the odds fluctuate based on the game, Orkin said, there’s really few good reasons to play any lottery. There’s the profoundly slim chance of changing one’s life with a massive payoff from a small investment, he said, but — so long as there’s no gambling problem — “it’s worth it to go out and buy a couple of lottery tickets, especially when the jackpot gets high, if you find it entertaining.”

On the record Mayor McCormick wants province to know that whoever sanctions logging in the watershed will be asked to pay for water treatment plant C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
As reported in the Bulletin last week, Council had a lengthy discussion about recreation in the watersheds at their last regular meeting. The discussion was born out of concerns over a trails proposal in the Matthew Creek watershed. Mayor Don McCormick says that while there was some level of concern over any recreation in water sheds, in his mind by far the biggest threat to Kimberley’s water quality is logging. “Of all activity in the watersheds – Mark and Matthew – logging is the one that concerns me most. However, it is recreation that is get-
ting the headlines these days – hiking, hunting, snowmobiling, etc. The City does not own its watersheds, which are governed by the Province. All we can do is monitor and recommend, which is the primary purpose of the Watershed Committee. “The City has taken a zero tolerance approach to Mark Creek, which supplies the majority of water to Kimberley. There has been recreational activity in the Matthew Creek watershed as long people can remember. Changing that would be difficult.” But McCormick says logging is of greatest SUBMITTED PHOTO concern.

weekend. Molly, right, wearing the colours of the Kimberley Nordic Club. has proudly accepted a spot to represent Canada in See WATER , Page 3 Oberhok Germany at the German National Championships and OPA races in Campra, Switzerland. See more, Page 7.
City of Cranbrook acknowledges 20 deer culled TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Cranbrook city council officially acknowledged that an urban deer cull was carried out, with 20 deer being captured and euthanized over the last six weeks. In a media release issued after a city council meeting on Monday, Jan. 18, the city said a wildlife permit was obtained in October and valid until the end of January. “I am very pleased with the results of this program to manage and control our urban deer situation,” said Mayor Lee Pratt, in the press release. “I know some
people do not agree with our program, but in the interest of the protection of citizens’ property and the safety of our residents it had to be done.” Councillor Wes Graham filled in for Mayor Lee Pratt, who was unable to make the meeting due to illness. It’s the first public acknowledgement of a cull since the B.C. Deer Protection Society and the Animal Alliance of Canada accused the city of approving and conducting a cull behind closed doors. The B.C. Deer Protection Society posted video of a deer caught in a clover trap before
being shot twice by a bolt gun. Photographs of two other fawns caught in a collapsed clover trap were also posted on their website. Sherry Adams, a local Cranbrook resident who opposes the cull, said she was disappointed the matter wasn’t discussed vocally during the council meeting. “It would’ve been nice if they discussed things openly instead of always doing things in-camera,” Adams said. “Democracy is about transparency and that would’ve been nice if the Cranbrook council would do that.” See DEER, page 3

A pilot program in Kamloops has graduated six provincial prison inmates, qualifying them to work as construction labourers when they are released. Students learn skills such as operating and maintaining small tools, scaffolding, reading blueprints, surveying, operating a mini-excavator and traffic control. They also receive level one first aid and construction safety training certification during a six-
week course. The program is offered by Thompson Rivers University for inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Inmates built a concrete foundation pad with drainage and roof that will house a portable sawmill. The level one apprenticeship credential and 4,000 work hours in a trade make them eligible for level two, when students can enrol in a Red Seal trade program such as carpentry or plumbing.

Province should pay for water treatment plant if it’s needed, Mayor says From page 1 He worries that continued logging activity will inevitable lead to problems that will require Kimberley’s water to be treated, and an expensive treatment plant built. “There are a number of factors that impact our water quality,” he said. “Council’s concern is that any activity in the watershed will cumulatively decrease that quality. The turbidity we see each spring due to erosion is a reminder. We are blessed with a watershed that gives us good water, so have not needed to invest in a water treatment plant to this point”. But that day may be coming, and McCormick wants to be on re-
Don McCormick cord with the province that it is the City of Kimberley’s position that since they had no ability to say no to logging in the watershed, they should not have to foot the bill for a treatment plant required because of the impacts of that logging. “As I said earlier, I am more concerned with logging as its im-
pact is substantial. I realize this has been communicated to the Province before, but the financial consequences to the City are severe. So I want to go on record as saying whoever has sanctioned activity that results in Kimberley needing to build a water treatment plant needs to pay for it.” McCormick says he doesn’t expect the suggestion to get traction until Kimberley is faced with the decision. A further note to last week’s discussion on trail building. Linda Cox from Recreation Trails BC says that, contrary to what is being claimed by some residents, the St. Mary’s Residents Association was consulted on the Bootleg trails proposal.

Deer cull acknowledged From Page 1 The program came in at $10,374 under a $15,000 budget, which rounds out to 494 per animal. Built into the cost included overhead such as clover trap setup and takedown, purchase of bait and supplies, packaging and distribution of the meat, and all associated contractor administration costs. From the 20 deer culled, over 855 pounds of meat was processed by a local butcher, processed in a government-approved facility and distributed to three local organizations for human consumption— all a part of the guidelines within the wildlife permit approved by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Specific areas of the city targeted with clover traps was based on complaints received by staff, along with results from a deer count, which identified 137 urban ungulates. That is the highest result since the city began keeping track of urban deer numbers in 2010. Though this is the third cull that Cranbrook has conducted, Adams hopes that the city will consider non-lethal actions in the future.
“We want them to stop culling the deer, especially after we’ve shown them evidence that it’s not going the way it’s supposed to be going,” Adams said. “The deer are being treated in an inhumane fashion, as we thought all along, that violations to that permit—that’s not supposed to be happening, so we’d like them to stop culling and commit to some humane management. “Whether that mean relocation or look more seriously at hazing, I think that’s a good option as well. I think it’s been kind of dismissed by them [council] but if you talk to the people who do it, it can easily be done.” The City of Cranbrook, along with Kimberley, Sparwood, and Invermere, are participating in a urban deer translocation trial project set for mid-February, which is being conducted by VAST Resource Solutions. In the same media release that outlined the deer cull details, Pratt said the city remains committed to the project, having kicked in $10,000 last fall. “The recent population management program was approved and

The current method used to manage deer populations is the only way we are authorized to do that, which is dictated by the Wildlife Act and enforced by MFLN-
RO. “It is very important for the public to recognize that this upcoming translocation trial is only a test and was never intended to move a large number of animals from each municipality involved and large numbers of urban deer will still remain in Cranbrook.”

GOLDEN, B.C. - Four male snowmobilers from Alberta could be facing a hefty price tag after they had to be rescued on the weekend from Quartz Creek, west of Golden, B.C. Golden-Field RCMP say in a news release that the quartet will be required to organize and pay for a helicopter and permits to remove their stranded snowmobiles. Parks Canada will also be investigating to determine if they will be charged under the National Parks Act for entering Glacier National Park on snowmobiles. RCMP say they were advised on Saturday that the group was stranded and required a helicopter to rescue them. Instead, a search and rescue team from Golden headed out on snowmobiles and found the group of four, who were uninjured and waiting at an area cabin. Const. Spencer Lainchbury says the group is believed to have crossed into Glacier National Park and got stuck and unable to get out. The four males were transported back to the staging area where their vehicle was parked.
COTR signs transfer agreement with UFV For the bulle tin
College of the Rockies Criminal and Social Justice students have new transfer options, thanks to a new agreement the College has signed with University of the Fraser Valley. Students who complete the Criminal and Social Justice certificate at the College, and who meet admission requirements, can now block transfer their College of the Rockies credits directly into UFV’s Criminology diploma or Bachelor of Arts in Criminology. College of the Rockies’ Dean of Business and University Studies, Darrell Bethune, says, “This agreement creates new opportunities for our Criminal and Social Justice students to move on to earn a diploma or degree. It is a terrific opportunity for students to begin their education at College of the Rockies, with small class sizes and more personal instruction, before moving on to university.” In 2015, the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) reported
College of the Rockies’ Dean of Business and University Studies, Darrell Bethune. that 85 percent of College of the Rockies students who transferred to university completed their degree, the highest graduation rate among transfer institutions in the province. College of the Rockies students
also tend to achieve high grades after they transfer. At UBC Vancouver, College of the Rockies ranked first in terms of the graduating grade-point-average of its transfer students; it was also in the top five
at Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria. It is recommended that students looking to transfer to University of the Fraser Valley work with an education advisor at the College to en-

Five Years After the Arab Spring
F
ive years ago this month, the “Arab Spring” got underway with the non-violent overthrow of Tunisia’s long-ruling dictator, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. He dared not order the army to open fire on the demonstrators (because it might not obey), he was running out of money, and eventually he flew off off to Saudi Arabia to seek asylum. In an Arab world where satellite television broadcasts and social media had effectively destroyed the power of the censors, practically everybody else spent the four weeks of civil protest in Tunisa tensely watching what the Tunisians were doing. When the Tunisian revolutionaries won, similar non-violent demonstrations demanding democracy immediately broke out in half a dozen other Arab countries. It felt like huge change was on the way, because the world had got used to the idea that non-violent revolutions spread irresistibly, and usually win in the end. The ground-breaking “People Power” revolution in the Philippines in 1986, for example, was followed in the next three years in Asia by non-violent democratisation in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Bangladesh, and failed attempts at non-violent revolution in Burma and China. Similarly in eastern Europe, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Communist regime in East Germany in 1989 was followed by non-violent democratisation in all the Soviet-dominated “satellite” countries by the end of the year. The Soviet Union itself broke up in 1991, and some of its component parts also became democratic. Non-violence was a magic potion, and people assumed that it was bound to work in the Arab world too. They were wrong. The non-violent movements demanding democracy spread just as fast, but their only lasting success
was in Tunisia. Egypt and Bahrain are back under autocratic rule, and Yemen and Syria are both being devastated by civil wars and large-scale foreign military intervention. Libya is also being torn by civil war (although the revolution there was never non-violent). You can hardly blame people for trying to get rid of the old regimes — they were pretty awful — but beyond Tunisia the endings were uniformly bloody and tragic. Was there some systemic reason for this, or was it just a lot of bad luck? There is great relucGwynne tance to pursue this question, because people are Dyer afraid that the answer has something to do with the nature of Arab society or Islamic culture. They shouldn’t worry. Islam is not incompatible with democracy. Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, had a non-violent democratic revolution in 1998 and continues to be a thriving democracy today. Turkey has been democratic for decades, although Recep Tayyib Erdogan, the current president, is doing great damage to the country’s democratic institutions. Pakistan and Bangladesh are both democracies, although turbulent ones. These four countries alone account for almost half the world’s Muslims. In the Arab world democracy is a much scarcer commodity, but it does exist, most notably in Tunisia itself. Several other Arab countries, like Jordan and Morocco, have a significant democratic element in their politics, although the king retains much power. So what went wrong with the “Arab Spring”? In the case of Bahrain, the problem was that the majority of the population is Shia, but the ruling family is Sunni and saw the democratic movement as an Iranian plot. Neighbouring Saudi Arabia saw it the same way, and sent the Saudi army in to crush the “plot”.
Yemen was a lost cause from the start, since there was already an incipient civil war in the country. Now it’s a full-scale war, with foreign military intervention by a Saudi-led coalition that includes half the countries in the Arab world, and the non-violent protestors are busy hiding from the bombs. Syria was a hard case since the Ba’athist regime, in power for more than forty years, had accumulated a great many enemies. The Alawite (Shia) minority who dominated the regime were terrified that they would suffer from revenge-taking if they lost power, and were willing to fight to the last ditch to keep power. But it is also true that Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and later the United States as well, encouraged an armed uprising in Syria that undercut the entire non-violent movement. It probably wouldn’t have succeeded anyway, but it really didn’t get tried. And in Egypt, the non-violent revolution actually won. The victory didn’t last long. The Muslim Brotherhood won the election in 2012, and the urban, secular minority who had made the revolution panicked. They asked the army to intervene, and the army was happy to oblige — so now the army runs the country again, after a massacre of non-violent Muslim Brotherhood protesters in 2013 that was probably worse that the slaughter on Tienanmen Square in 1989. Egypt is by far the biggest country in the Arab world. If it had not thrown its democracy away, about a third of the world’s Arabs would be living in a democracy today. It was very bad luck, but non-violent revolution is still a viable technique — and democracy is still just as suitable for Arabs as it is for Poles, Peruvians or Pakistanis. It’s just going to take a little longer than we thought in 2011. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist published in 45 countries.

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit (above) has been nominated for the Sport B.C. 2015 Senior Male Athlete of the Year Award. Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The accolades keep pouring in for Kimberley amateur golfer Jared du Toit. Monday afternoon, it was announced the 20-year-old du Toit had been nominated for the Sport B.C. Senior Male Athlete of the Year Award. The 2015 season was
worth remembering for the Arizona State Sun Devils golf star. In late October, the former Selkirk Secondary School student was one of five players named to Team Canada’s 2016 National Amateur Golf Squad, with sights set on competing at the 2016 World Amateur Golf Championship this September at the El Camaleon Golf Club in
Cancun, Mexico. Being named to Canada’s national team fulfilled a childhood dream for du Toit and it was nothing short of the cherry on top of the cake in 2015. The Kimberley native completed his second NCAA campaign in dominant fashion, laying claim to the individual title at the 2015 Big Sky Conference Men’s
Tough guy Scott will captain Pacific Team in NHL all-star game CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK - John Scott’s improbable road to the NHL all-star game took another twist Tuesday, with the league confirming he will keep his elected role as Pacific Division captain despite a trade and a demotion. The journeyman tough guy was chosen to lead the Pacific team at the showcase by a fan vote, but last week he was traded out of division as part of a deal between Arizona and Montreal. The Canadiens promptly assigned him to the American Hockey League’s St. John’s IceCaps, making his eligibility for the all-star fes-
tivities on Jan. 30-31 in Nashville unclear. Though the NHL did not publicly comment on the issue until Tuesday, there was debate as to whether the league would allow a lumbering, six-foot-eight fighter with 11 career points to play in a 3-on-3 tournament designed to showcase speed and skill. Fans angry about Scott not being allowed to play in the game took to social media. The NHL says Scott’s move to a different division and minor league assignment “created a unique circumstance that required review.” Scott told the Arizo-
na Republic when voting began that he didn’t want to be voted into the all-star game. “It would be cool, but I definitely don’t deserve it at this point,” he said. “You never know. There’s still some time left. I could turn it on.” Later he warmed to the idea, printing T-shirts he planned to give to teammates that read: “Thanks for believing in me. Love always, The Captain.” Those shirts were sold online for charity after the trade. Now back in the allstar plans, Scott says he’s “looking forward to enjoying a fun and unique experience.”
Golf Championship, guiding his University of Idaho Vandals crew to the team title along the way. After finalizing his transfer from the University of Idaho, where he spent his first two NCAA seasons, to Arizona State University (ASU), du Toit turned up the heat during the summer months. The 6-foot linkster claimed the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship on July 13 at Fairview Mountain Golf Course in Oliver, finishing atop the leaderboard by four strokes (10under, 278). In addition to his title at the B.C. Amateur, du Toit grabbed a sixthplace finish at the 49th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in Eugene, Ore. In his first season under the tutelage of Sun Devils golf coach Tim Mickelson, du Toit turned in his strongest showing of the semester at the Alistair MacKenzie Invitational (Oct. 12 to 13) in Fairfax, Calif., placing eighth (67, 68, 68). The next NCAA event scheduled for du Toit and the Sun Devils is the Waikoloa Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii, from Feb. 4 to 6. There has been no
slowing du Toit as he sits No. 1 overall in the Golf Canada men’s amateur ranks as of Jan. 11. The Sun Devils product has held down the top spot for 10 consecutive weeks. On the global stage, du Toit is listed 103rd on the World Amateur Golf Ranking scale. The 50th annual Sport B.C. Athlete of the Year Awards are set to be hosted Thursday, March 10, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. du Toit was nominated for the prestigious provincial award by B.C Golf president David Atkinson and B.C. Golf executive director Kris Jonasson. The 2014 Male Senior Athlete of the Year Award winner was speed skater Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, who earned a silver and bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. Sport B.C. is a non-profit sport federation, representing over 60 provincial sport organizations in British Columbia. As a member-based organization, Sport B.C. supports the growth of amateur sport in B.C. and provides leadership through delivery of programs and services for members.
Oilers lose Nugent-Hopkins for six to eight weeks CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers say forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will be out six to eight weeks with a hand injury. Nugent-Hopkins left in the second period of the Oilers’ 4-2 win at Florida on Monday after blocking a shot. Oilers coach Todd McLellan said after the game that Nugent-Hopkins’s injury would be “long-term,” then provided a time frame for his recovery at Tuesday’s practice Nu g e nt- Ho p k i n s, Edmonton’s first-overall pick in the 2011 NHL
draft, has eight goals and 22 assists in 46 games this season. McLellan said that despite the injury to one of his top forwards, the Oilers are not prepared to rush star rookie Connor McDavid back to action this week as he recovers from a broken clavicle. “Not one bit. He’s not ready,” McLellan said.

Kimberley cross country skier Molly Miller continues her ascent on the global nordic stage. Sunday, Miller was named to the roster for Cross Country Ski Canada’s Junior B-Tour Team, which will compete at the German National Championships in Oberhof, Germany, and the OPA Continental Cup in Campra, Switzerland. Miller, 14, continues to rise on the cross-country scene after representing Team B.C. as part of a silver-medal effort in team relay at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George. After first qualifying for the 2015 Canada Winter Games, Miller expressed her desire to one day go to the Olympics and represent her country on the biggest stage as a part of the national team. Sunday’s announcement might not be of Olympic-sized proportions, but it certainly a step in the right direction as Miller continues to pursue her bigger aspirations. The young nordic racer, who has been training at the Kimberley Nordic Club since she was only nine years old, finished her 2015 campaign by collecting two gold medals and two silver medals at the 2015 Ski National Championships.
In early January, Miller qualified for the 2016 B.C. Winter Games (Penticton, Feb. 25 to 28) after her performance at the Teck Kootenay Cup hosted by the Kimberley Nordic Club. The Selkirk Secondary School student won’t be alone when she travels to Europe later this month as Cross Country Ski Canada is sending 10 athletes overseas as a part of the Junior B-Tour Team. Joining Miller will be Mia Serratore (National Development Centre Thunder Bay, Ont.), Anna Goodwin (Hollyburn Cross Country Ski Club - West Vancouver), Laura Leclair (Chelsea Nordiq - Chelsea, Que.), Claire Grall-Johnson (Nakkertok Nordic - Ottawa-Gatineau), Etienne Hebert (Monteriski Ski Club - Sainte-Julie, Que.), Samuel Greer (National Development Centre - Thunder Bay), Gareth Williams (Telemark Nordic Club - West Kelowna), Julian Smith (National Development Centre - Thunder Bay) and Eric Byram (Canmore - Winsport). The German National Championship, set for Jan. 29 to 31, will be hosted in Oberhof, approximately 215 km north east of Frankfurt. The OPA Continental Cup, Feb. 5 to 7, will take place in Campra, Switzerland, located approximately 85 km north of Lugano.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: You must know that for every letter that you get, you only hear half of the story. I read the letter from “Wife on the Outside,” who said her husband talks to his mother negatively about her. I hope that my wife reads that and follows your advice to go to counseling. I am a loving husband and father, and tired of accusations of disloyalty. I love my wife. When my mother asks me how she’s doing and my answer is, “She is very unhappy,” I am not being disloyal. I am being truthful. But my wife doesn’t like it. My wife drinks a lot of wine in the evening. When she is no longer sober, she becomes nasty to the point where she is unbearable. She refused to go for counseling, so I went alone. My counselor recommended that I attend Al-Anon, and I plan to go back soon. My wife does not consider herself an alcoholic. If there is any way you can help convince her to get counseling, I would be very grateful. -- Suffering Husband Dear Suffering: Your wife didn’t write to us, and we are unlikely to convince her of anything, since she is unwilling to admit she has a problem. Our advice is for you: First, please stop telling your mother that your wife is unhappy. While we know that Mom can be a source of support, your marital problems are not really her business. If your wife considers it “disloyal,” then you must stop confiding in Mom. If you need to talk to someone, go back to your counselor. Second, we hope you will return to Al-Anon meetings and learn the limits of what you can do in this situation and how you can help yourself cope. Living with someone who abuses alcohol can be both difficult and exhausting. We’ll be thinking of you. Dear Annie: I read your column every day, and I’ve been finding myself feeling sorrier and sorrier for women in their 40s and 50s. So many letters are about men who can’t anymore and women who don’t want to anymore. The message seems to be that sex has to end the minute a woman hits menopause. And that’s absolutely not true! Last week, I had lunch with two women who have been my friends since high school. We are all in our early 70s, and every one of us agreed: Sex has been better in the last 15 years than ever before. We’re not working now, so we can stay in bed and cuddle for hours if we want. There are no kids at home, so we can “take a nap” with our honeys without the slightest embarrassment. If we need lubrication, we use it. If there’s more petting than fireworks, then we celebrate petting -- but we all have delighted in recent fireworks, too. Come on, women! So our bodies don’t look as awesome as they used to. So our sweethearts are a bit flabby. If two people love each other, they should still enjoy giving and taking pleasure. And, take it from us three women, you’ll look years younger with that glow in your cheeks and that sparkle in your eyes. -- Three Sexy Old Broads in Vermont Dear Vermont: Whatever they are putting in the water up there, you ought to bottle it. Bless you for pointing out that loving someone makes the effort worthwhile. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
