New garbage bylaw now in effect C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
There were red tag days for many Kimberley residents last week, the first week the new Solid Waste Bylaw was in effect. Many residents returned home to find red tags affixed to garbage bags letting them know that they were not in compliance with the bylaw. One of the most common infractions is that people were unaware that the new bylaw requires garbage to be put out in cans, not just bags. This is primarily aimed at keeping wildlife out of garbage as it sits waiting for pickup. Specifically: • Height 57 cm max (22.5 inches) • Width at top 50 cm max (19.5 inches)
• Handle dimensions 13 x 7 cm (5 x 2.75 inches) • Similar to Rubbermaid “Roughneck” 77 litre (20.3 gal) (shown below) • The allowable weight is 13 kilograms (28.6 lbs) per bag and 4 bags maximum/2 bags per can. • Only 2 garbage cans are permitted per household. • No loose garbage may be placed in containers. Garbage must be contained in plastic garbage bags and the bags must be tied closed • “Plastic garbage bags” means a sturdy plastic bag specifically marketed to store waste for collection and exSUBMITTED PHOTO cludes plastic bags that are intended for other You’re in contravention of the new Solid Waste Bylaw, and here’s why. purposes.

Police call turns out to be anything but routine CHRIS NE WEL Kimberley RCMP
K imberley RCMP is recommending several charges after dealing with a suspicious male, on Jan 20 on Wallinger Ave in Kimberley. Around 9:30 a.m. on Jan 20 police were called to Wallinger Ave after receiving a complaint about male acting in a disturbing manner. A police officer attended and was assisting the man when a complaint was received from a local business about a theft that had occurred the day before. A second officer attended the business and viewed video surveillance of the theft. He identified the suspect as the male the other officer was currently assisting. The man was then arrested for theft and taken into custody. As the officer felt with the man a female got involved and conveyed her displeasure about the man’s arrest and at-
tempted to the damage the police vehicle. When she was being advised of her arrest, the woman assaulted the officer. A struggle ensued but the officer was able to take control and take her into custody as well. The male subject appeared in court on Theft charges on Jan 21 and was released for court on Jan 25. Charges of Resist Arrest, Assault a Police Officer and Mischief against the female are being forwarded to Crown Counsel for review. “What this situation brings to light that what can often be considered a simple call for service can quickly escalate; police officers always have to be ready, even when they are simply assisting someone” states Cpl Chris Newel, “The Kimberley RCMP appreciate the witnesses that came forward and provided an unbiased view of the events”.

Young scientists, get cracking Students from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elk and Columbia Valley encouraged to submit projects Tre vor Cr awley
Calling all young scientific minds in the area—the annual East Kootenay Regional Science Fair is fast approaching and organizers are encouraging all students from kindergarten to Grade 12 to participate. Hosted by the College of the Rockies, the fair will go down on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, in the gymnasium. Last year, there were over 200 projects submitted that were eligible for hundreds of dollars in prizes and scholarships. Anita Savage, one of the orga-
nizers on the East Kootenay Regional Science Fair Committee, says the fair is a great way for students to engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. “The Science Fair gives community kids the opportunity to exhibit their talent for science, which could take them to a Canada-wide science fair in Montreal,” said Savage. Savage is referencing the Canada-Wide Science Fair, which will be hosted in Montreal and showcases the top scientific exhibits from across the country. The CWSF also includes $1 million in awards, prizes and scholarships. For the East Kootenay Regional Science Fair, organizers decided on a theme of the science of sport and health. “The science of sport and health is a bread theme that includes many disciplines within
it,” said a EKRSF press release. “There is the study of exercise physiology including the human body and how it works when at rest or during athletic performance. “Biomechanics takes a look at the anatomy of the human body and the effects of the external environment. Physical health, mental health, fitness, aging and nutrition play and extensive role in the science of sport. It’s not just students who will be present at the science fair with their projects; there will be other exhibits from industry, government and community partners. Examples include the Blue Lakes Centre, Canadian Wildlife Federation, COTR Kinesiology Department, Pacific Sport Columbia Basin Group and more. See SCIENCE, page 3
Stetski: Canada Summer Jobs program will help bolster local economy CRANBROOK – Kootenay–Columbia MP Wayne Stetski is reminding eligible area employers and organizations that the deadline for submitting applications to Canada Summer Jobs 2016 (CSJ) is February 26, 2016. “This is a great opportunity for students to gain experience in the workforce. Programs like Canada Summer Jobs help bolster the local economy,” said Stetski. “I encourage eligible employers to apply
for this funding and hire a student for the summer.” The CSJ initiative helps to create job opportunities for students aged 15-30 in their communities. Funding is provided to not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers, and small businesses to assist with hiring students who will be returning to full-time studies in the next school year. “One of my jobs as the Member of Parliament is to ensure
Kootenay-Columbia is not left in the dark about various federal funding or assistance that is available for the riding,” added Stetski. “I will continue to work hard to bring your voice to Ottawa and bring Ottawa back to the riding.” Assessment of the Kootenay-Columbia applications are guided by local priorities, employment factors within the constituency, on-the-job mentoring and career related experience, provi-
aluminum cans, paper and cardboard should be set aside and brought to the Transfer Station where there are containers provided for all recyclables. The City hopes these changes will mean less weight in city trucks headed to the transfer station. Less weight means less money spent. The City currently spends about $550,000 each year to the Regional District of East Kootenay to handle the municipality’s garbage at the transfer station.

Garbage bylaw From page 1 No shopping type bags may be used. • Loose garbage will not be accepted • Garbage cans must be placed at curbside on pick up day after 5 a.m. and before 7:30 a.m. Cans must be removed from the curb by 10 p.m. of the day of collection. The other big changes are that the City doesn’t want yard waste put out curbside for pick up and no recyclables are to be put in with household garbage. That means glass,
sion of sufficient salary and other criteria. This year, Canada Summer Jobs applications are available online and must be completed by February 26, 2016.

Colombia: After 51 Years, Peace?
E
nding Colombia’s 51-year-old civil war has taken a very long time. The first ceasefire and peace talks began in 1984, and collapsed two years later. There was another unsuccessful attempt in 1991, and yet another, involving four years of negotiations, in 1998. It’s a bit like porcupines having sex: you have to move very slowly and carefully, and it can still go wrong in the end. But more than three years after the current round of peace talks got underway, the government of President Juan Manuel Santos and the leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) are almost there. On Tuesday they asked the United Nations Security Council to provide a one-year unarmed mission to supervise a ceasefire and the disarmament of FARC’s forces. It’s still a tricky process. Take, for example, the case of the “false positives”. In medical research, a false positive is a test that says a disease or condition is present when it actually isn’t. In the Colombian civil war, “false positives” were civilians killed by the army even though they were not members of FARC. There were at least 3,000 “false positives” between 2004 and 2008. Moreover, the Colombian soldiers doing the killing knew the victims were not FARC members. The army was rewarding them for high body-counts, and they just needed more bodies to get their bonuses. When the scandal broke, several hundred of these murderers got long prison sentences — but these convictions could be overturned under the new “Special Peace Jurisdiction” that was agreed last December.
The key task now is to make it worthwhile for FARC members to disarm. The Special Peace Jurisdiction, agreed in December, will hear confessions from guerilla fighters who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, and determine the reparations they must make to victims. But except in the most extreme cases, they will not be sent to jail. So how can you keep the former soldiers who Gwynne are serving long sentences for their own crimes in Dyer jail? It’s thorny questions like this that have made the negotiations so long and complicated, but they are finally coming to a conclusion. The negotiators in Havana (Cuba has been hosting the talks) are working to a March deadline for a final ceasefire, and it looks like they may actually make it this time. It will be a great relief for the 48 million Colombians, most of whom have lived with this nightmare for their entire lives. Over the years 220,000 people have been killed and about 7 million driven from their homes. The proportion of the country’s people living in poverty has dropped from 48 percent in 2003 to 33 percent in 2012, but in rebel-held areas, where there have not been government services for decades, it is up around 60-65 percent. Colomba has paid a very high price for this war. The country’s economic growth rate, although a respectable 4 percent annually in the past decade, would probably have been twice as high without the war. In fact, the whole thing has really been a bloody and pointless distraction from the real task of development. When FARC, then the armed wing of the Colombian Communist Party, first
took up arms in 1964, Colombia was a country desperately in need of change. Almost 40 percent of the population were peasants who did not own any land, and barely half the population was literate. But all the long FARC insurrection did was slow things down — and it didn’t slow them much. Today only 23 percent of Colombia’s people still live on the land; the rest are in the cities. Literacy among 15 to 24-yearolds is over 98 percent. Land-ownership is still largely unreformed, but that matters a lot less than it used to. In the midst of the endless war, Colombia has become a modern society anyway, and a democratic one at that. So it’s high time to end the war, and even FARC has recognised that. The peace deal includes amnesties for all but a few of its members and a guarantee that they will have full political rights. The government has promised that it will tackle land reform in a serious way (which will be quite expensive). And FARC has promised to end its involvement in the drug trade, which was probably its biggest source of funds. There are all sorts of land-mines hiding under this deal, like the fact that the cocaine trade (Colombia is the world’s biggest producer) may just fall into the hands of criminal gangs instead. Indeed, it probably will. But there is no doubt that the peace deal will be enormously beneficial to Colombia as a whole. In the 1970s almost every country in Latin America had either a rural insurgency or an “urban guerrilla” movement (or both). They meant well, of course, but they didn’t do much good. In fact, they did more harm than good, but this is really the last of them. An era is ending. Good riddance.

Letters to the Editor community. Other areas of Kimberley have handy nature park areas. This is by Marysville; it is nature as its best walking all the way along Jim Ogilvie Way. These areas make all of Kimberley so special. Let’s work together to make sure they stay for all generations to follow. Take the time to keep Kimberley cool! Bev Middlebrook Kimberley City Councillor
Marysville Benchlands
Keep Kimberley cool — use your voice. This letter is not meant to ruffle feathers, it is meant to inform and communicate to Kimberley/Marysville residents that value and use this beautiful, peaceful area daily. I feel it is my role and responsibility as an elected City Councillor to let you know that Kimberley/Marysville Nature needs your voice & time now! It is time to speak up and save the Marysville Bench lands from the zoning for future development. I think that this beauty should be shared by everyone not just a privileged few to build upon. We need YOU to step forward and speak before it is gone and zoned for buildings, residential or industrial. We lost the Bootleg golf area as well sold recently a nature walking area by the trails. I realize the city needs funds but some special areas should not be for sale. Voice your values NOW for this natural walking area by going to Kimberley’s Official Community Plan - placespeak. com under the heading of: “Natural Environments”-Identify the places in Kimberley that u think need protection. Or Kimberley’s greatest assets-open spaces, recreation and trails. Not all of us enjoy walking on the paved area with moving bikes, skaters etc. There should be open space and natural environments for all areas of the
Deer Cull
The Mayor and City Council should be proud of themselves for having three fawns killed — which were such a threat to the City of Cranbrook — and in such an inhumane way. They are saying that this was post death twitching. As a hunter I do not believe this is true, and that fawn was still alive and suffering when it was being dragged away. We live in the country, and have fawns born in our yard every year. We also have dogs, and we have never in 20 years had a problem like the people of Cranbrook seem to have. I think that this issue began when video was posted on YouTube about a house cat mauling a new-born fawn that was pinned between the curb and a wheel of a car. Then this poor innocent dog was let out, and attacked by the doe, who had had enough. We do feel very sorry for the dog and its owner, and hope the dog recovered and is doing okay. But of course, when the City wanted to cull the deer, saying we have killer deer, they only show the part about the dog being attacked. Everybody was fine with this until the doe had had enough, and the only thing she could do was attack. As any mother, human or animal, she would do whatever to protect her little one. And if you go to YouTune you can see the whole video. As for the contractors, they should be
proud of themselves for displaying cruelty to animals. We thought there was a law against this. These are our feelings, and we know that not everyone is going to agree, but as citizens of this area we have had enough. The Livingston Family
Deer Cull
The democratic process of two previous deer culls surveys by the previous council, as my recollection was almost 70% for culling. I have lived in the East Kootenay for 73 years and in Cranbrook 53 years. There was a time when you and your children could walk the streets and feel safe. Except for the last 10 years our democratic rights have eroded to the point that safety is our main concern. I have watched my neighbours taking their dogs for a walk being chased home by deer protecting their newborns. I have grandchildren and great grandchildren living on the boundary of the City with a predator cougar in their yard because of the excessive deep population in Cranbrook. The Mayor and Council were elected by democratic process that gave them a majority to deal with this issue. The City Council on behalf of the citizens has a legal permit to cull! The previous culls were criminally interfered with and cost the tax payer’s unwarranted civil servant, RCMP & court time. We can’t accuse our Mayor and council who were elected to deal with these problems of secrecy. Does the RCMP warn drug dealers of a planned drug bust? We also can’t forget the handicapped that face the same threats. How fast can they run? We support our Mayor and council 100% Brian Kostiuk and Ron Demaniuk Sr.

Ice drop wild overtime thriller to Chiefs Kootenay Ice battle against rival Spokane Chiefs, but fall in back-to-back games over home-and-home weekend Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Ice rookie Shane Allan (#16) slides his first career WHL goal past Chiefs goaltender Tyson Verhelst Friday night. Spokane went on to a wild 7-6 overtime victory at Western Financial Place.

If you were at Western Financial Place Friday night, you might have thought you were watching the Kootenay Ice and Spokane Chiefs run a track meet instead of play a hockey game. Those in attendance got full value for their ticket, as the Ice and Chiefs combined for 12 goals in regulation before Kailer Yamamoto redirected a Jason Fram point shot to give Spokane a wild 7-6 victory in overtime. “You score six goals, you should win a hockey game, but I’m sure [the Chiefs] felt the same way,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Friday night. “It turned into a bit of a track meet there and that’s not how we need to play the game. They scored three of their first four goals off of trackmeet type plays. Our first three goals are all earned from good, hard, old-fashioned work. If we stick to that plan, I think we’ll be fine. “We just get caught up in the emotion of the game, which is understandable as a young team. It’s an exciting way to play, but you have to have some self control.” Ya ma m o t o’s game-winner came off a face-off only 1:10 into the three-on-three session. “It’s huge, obviously when they tie it up late like that, it’s easy to get down on yourself and for the guys to bury their heads,” said Fram, the Chiefs captain, follow-
ing Friday’s game. “But I thought we rallied and it was really relieving to see that puck go in.” After the Chiefs killed the remaining 55 seconds of an Ice power play to start overtime, Markson Bechtold exited the penalty box before burning into the offensive zone and putting a shot into Kootenay goaltender Declan Hobbs, leading to a face-off. Spokane coach Don Nachbaur, one of the league’s most experienced bench bosses, called timeout to draw up a play. “Every face-off is important,” Fram said of the winning sequence. “Their tying goal — they win a face-off and score a goal. It comes right down to face-offs right to the end. We got a big win and [Yamamoto] went to the net and just managed to bang it in.” Fram, 20, was the point man on the winning sequence and his assist on the play capped an impressive fourpoint outing, which included two goals in 51 seconds late in the second period. Overtime was made possible by an impressive rally from the young Ice late in regulation. Trailing 6-4 with time winding down, Ice right winger Jesse Zaharichuk extended his personal point streak to seven games when he converted on the power play with 2:52 remaining in regulation. Moments later, as Fram alluded to, Ice veteran Zak Zborosky made good on a clean faceoff

win to tie the game 6-6 with only 1:36 to play in the third period. “That’s how it’s supposed to work,” Zborosky said Friday. “Alf [Matt Alfaro] won the draw clean to me. It was on my stick and off my stick and it was in. “It’s good to know [we can come back] because in games after this, if we’re down by two, we have a chance, we are in those games, no matter what the score is.” Up until Fram’s outburst in the second period, fans were witness to a strong outing from the home team, which led 3-2 beyond the midpoint of the period. A welcoming positive for the Ice was key contributions coming from a widespread group within the lineup. With goals tough to come by at times this season, and often fuelled by the line of Zborosky, Alfaro and Zaharichuk, the Ice saw six different goal scorers get in on the act Friday. Playing in his 99th career regular season game, River Beattie tied the game 1-1 in the first period before 16-yearold rookie Max Patterson gave the home team a 2-1 lead only 2:28 into the second period. After Chiefs forward Jacob Cardiff drew the game even, rookie defenceman Dallas Hines put a puck past Chiefs starting goaltender Lasse Petersen to restore the one-goal lead for the home team. From there, Fram changed the face of the game, scoring twice over a matter of 51 seconds to give his team a momentous 4-3 lead heading into the dressing room after 40 minutes. Both of the South Delta native’s tallies — his ninth and 10th of the campaign, respectively — came off odd-man rushes.

Spokane Chiefs claim back-to-back wins over Kootenay Ice Continued from page 8 “The guys I was on the ice with created space,” Fram said. “I found some open opportunities and just shot the puck. Sometimes those go in, sometimes they don’t. That second goal was a rolling puck. Sometimes those go in the corner, but tonight it managed to find its way in.” The wild, back-andforth affair continue into the third period as Presten Kopeck — a one-time member of the Ice for all of 25 hours — gave the visitors a 5-3 edge with a power-play marker early on. But battle the Ice did, refusing to go away. Only 47 seconds elapsed after Kopeck’s goal before Ice rookie Shane Allan scored on a beautiful breakaway effort — his first WHL goal in his 41st career game — to pull his crew back within one. “It’s great. It’s a nice monkey off the back for me,” Allan, 18, said with a smile Friday. “It’s something you dream
about as a kid, so it’s real nice. “I saw my centre man coming off the ice, so I hopped off the bench and noticed Fleur [Cale Fleury] with the puck on the far side so I just thought I’d cut towards the blue line, see if I could get a stretch pass and catch their ‘D’ off guard. Sure enough, Fleur was awake.” Allan skated in all alone on Chiefs goaltender Tyson Verhelst, who came on in relief of Petersen at the midpoint of the second period. The Ice rookie executed a shifty deke before sliding the puck home for a beautiful and memorable marker. “I was just trying to kind of read off the goalie, maybe think shoot low blocker or something, try to catch him off guard,” Allan said, recounting the breakaway. “But I saw he was out of his net a bit, so I gave him a little pump fake and he went down right away.” The Ice weathered an
early onslaught from the visiting Chiefs, which started basically from the opening puck drop. Only 14 seconds had ticked off the clock before a familiar name — former Red Deer Rebel Wyatt Johnson — opened the scoring for the Chiefs, going bar and in behind Hobbs. At the end of the night, Hobbs made 32 saves on 39 shots. At the other end, Petersen was chased after allowing three goals on 16 shots, exiting the game at the media timeout during the second period. Verhelst came on in relief, making 17 saves on 20 shots to collect the victory. After Friday’s wild and wooly affair was a tough one to match as the Chiefs claimed a second consecutive victory Saturday in Spokane. The Chiefs scored twice in the first period, as Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Kopeck provided a 2-0 lead for the hosts after 20 minutes. Ice rookie Jared Legien tallied his third of the season on a beautiful
breakaway, backhand effort to cut the lead to 2-1 only 6:29 into the third period, but that’s as close as Kootenay could claw this time around. Chiefs forward Curtis Miske rounded out the scoring with 2:03 remaining in regulation. Verhelst collect his second straight victory over the Ice, making 21 saves, while Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin was good on 25 of 28 attempts. The Ice (8-36-4-0) finish out January on the road, as they visit the Red Deer Rebels (31-151-2) Friday before opening a home-and-home series with the Edmonton Oil Kings (19-22-6-1) Sunday a t Rexall Place.

Sale of sawmill to Canfor secures Creston Valley jobs Lorne Eckersley
Same employees. Same management team. Same products. That was the message that Wynndel Box and Lumber Ltd. CEO Michael Combs delivered to the sawmill employees yesterday when he announced the sale of the mill to Canfor Corporation. “Our first five-year plan stated a goal to save the jobs in the mill,” Combs said this morning. “The priority in our second five-year plan was to secure those jobs for the future. And we have accomplished that.” Wynndel Box and Lumber Ltd., rebranded WynnWood in 2014, was founded in 1913 by Monrad Wigen. After 102 years operating a family business, WynnWood is committed to a long future as a key employer — about 100 jobs currently — in the
Creston Valley. For its part, Canfor gets a profitable sawmill, access to timber rights and an increased ability to produce a broader mix of higher value specialty products. “This acquisition will further increase our focus on specialty products worldwide,” Canfor Corporation president and CEO Don Kayne said yesterday. “We are pleased to further grow and diversify the product line we are able to provide to our global customers, and to welcome our new colleagues at WynnWood to Canfor.” While the Wynndel operation has become profitable under Combs’ management, longterm viability depends on secure sources of wood fibre and injections of capital. “Our primary Achilles heel is fibre supply,”
he said. “All mills face the same constraints. But we have one of the smallest forest licenses in the area, which produces about 65,000 cubic metres of fibre annually. We process more than 200,000 a year, so we have constantly had to supplement our own supply by going to bid sales, not all of which offer the quality of wood we need.” With more than one million cubic metres of fibre supply in the Kootenay area, Canfor has the ability to provide WynnWood with all the fibre it needs. “Last year we went 10 weeks with no second shift because we didn’t have enough logs,’ Combs said. “Our second major need is money to upgrade our mill — it requires a significant capital injection.” A $1.5 million lumber drying kiln is sched-

We are the perfect fit. Their mills produce primarily two-by-fours and they wanted to get into our business (which produces high-grade
one-inch boards) to diversify their product mix.” Monrad Wigen’s business started when he took delivery of a small portable sawmill in 1913. In the summers, he would use it to make thin boards used to construct wooden boxes and crates to supply the thriving Wynndel fruit industry. In winters, he moved his mill into the forest, where he cut railway ties. Over the years, what

has become known as WynnWood has grown to become one of the continent’s premier providers of high quality one-inch board products. Part of the sale conditions include retention of the current management team and that Combs, a California resident, continue in his role as CEO.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You still might be ablaze with energy, ideas and the desire to pursue a dream. What is stopping you? You will confront a liability or problem in the next few days, if not today. The clarity you gain will drive you to the desired results. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might act like a stick in the mud in the morning. Your creativity emerges and is likely to explode with one idea after another. What has been a restriction or problem until this point will dissipate after a conversation. You finally can clear a painful hurdle. Tonight: Celebrate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ideas might have been misrepresented during the past few weeks. As of today, you will enter a period that parallels the recent past. Do not claim responsibility falsely. On the other hand, do take responsibility for your share of a mess. Tonight: Close to home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are like a seesaw with your mood. You will experience greater stability within yourself. Once you clear up a misunderstanding, you might feel as if you have jumped a hurdle that up till now has felt impossible. Tonight: Invite a friend out for munchies and a drink. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get a head start in the morning; you still have that magic that makes a difference. A problem involving your finances seems insurmountable. In the next few days, if not today, you will discover a solution. Tonight: Be forthright with a friend about a confusing situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not come out of your cocoon until midday. Make this OK, but understand that what you previously thought was a problem no longer is one. Avoid making the issue much bigger than it needs to be. Do your best to resolve it now. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Use your positive attitude to
Tundra
move important projects quickly. If you hit a snafu, don’t be surprised. You will be able to clear it up if you take responsibility for your side of the issue. Try not to get pouty; others like you better when you’re upbeat. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will be the dominant partner on a project. You will get what you desire. Know that you could change your mind about what your role needs to be and what it is that you desire from the situation. Honor your priorities, as they could change again. Tonight: Brainstorm with a buddy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a strong sense of what might be heading down the pike. Do some research early in the day, and look at your alternatives before a situation becomes more toxic. Trust in your ability to lead and to straighten out a problem. Tonight: Out until the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to a partner or dear friend. This person’s vision is
much different from yours, but that does not disqualify his or her perspective. In fact, you can learn from this association. Greater clarity comes forward after you take a step back. Tonight: Detach, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others clearly dominate, and you would be well advised to follow their lead. The smart move here is to say nothing and be gracious. One-on-one relating is highlighted later in the day. What has been a problem in the past can now be resolved. Tonight: Visit over dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) While others may be distracted by interpersonal issues, you clearly want to dig your heels into a project and get it done. Others’ minds seem to be elsewhere. You will see communication work better tomorrow or the next day. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news and gossip!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A friend of mine has Type 2 diabetes and an eating disorder. Recently, she visited the doctor and her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were extremely high. The doctor spoke to her about the consequences of her diet, and after the visit, she spoke to his nurse. She was told that if she keeps her blood sugar under 200, she doesn’t need to worry and the doctor won’t be mad at her. She came away from the visit with a determination to do a better job with her diet. But within a week, she went back to eating the “banned” food items. She tests herself and thinks that levels in the 190s are OK. I have been trying to work with her on her diet. I have introduced her to better food choices. I listen to her and give advice when the opportunity comes up. I have made the decision to keep the lines of communication open by not criticizing her choices. Is there anything I ought to be doing? -- The Listener Dear Listener: Not really. You are being supportive without enabling. You might ask her to join you in an exercise class or a morning walk. Physical activity can help enormously. And you can suggest that she contact a dietician for help with her nutrition, and the American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) for information, resources and support. The rest is up to her. Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 46 years and have been happy for most of it. We recently traveled to North Carolina to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. It was also my 71st birthday, so it was especially lovely, and I received some nice gifts. My wife gave me a $50 debit card, which I greatly appreciated. However, when we were driving home after the turkey dinners, golf, shopping, visiting, etc., it was time to fill up the car. My wife insisted that I pay for the $29 in gas with my birthday debit card. Do you think that was a reasonable thing for her to do? My wife earns twice what I do. I always buy her beautiful and expensive gifts for her special occasions. -- Still in Love Dear Still: Your wife made the unilateral decision that the gift card was for both of you and should be spent on joint needs. This makes it less of a gift than you anticipated, and we agree that it was unfair. It has nothing to do with who earns more money. Had you paid for the gas without using the debit card, you would have been out the same $29, but that is beside the point. Spending it on gas should have been your choice, not hers. Does your wife do this sort of thing often? Speak up and let her know it bothered you. Tell her that it is not a gift if someone else determines when it is spent and for what. Thank her again for being so generous and ask her to please not do this again. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Fighting for the franchise
A century ago, a savvy political campaign won women the right to vote Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press
OTTAWA - “We were young and vigorous and full of ambition. We would rewrite our history. We would copy no other country. We would be ourselves, and proud of it.” - Nellie McClung. It was the kind of savvy political strategy that politicians and lobbyists attempt to craft today: Stitch together a coalition of supporters from diverse communities, secure financial backers, mount a successful ad campaign, and earn some positive media coverage. A group of women in Manitoba used it to win the right to vote a century ago. The province was the first place in Canada to bring in women’s suffrage, on Jan. 28, 1916. That triggered a wave of changes - first in Western Canada and finally at the federal level in 1919. Indigenous people, it should be noted, did not get the vote federally until 1960. The Manitoba movement was complex. There were people who supported temperance, and the havoc they believed alcohol was wreaking on families. There were many journalists - members of the Canadian Women’s Press Club. Some unions supported women’s suffrage, as did powerful farmers’ groups. Members of the Political Equality League, which included such notable members as Nellie McClung, Cora Hind and Lillian Beynon Thomas, as well as male supporters, helped recruit and rally those disparate voices with speeches, meetings and articles in the papers. They had paid organizers, and launched a major publicity blitz at the Winnipeg Stampede in 1913. “I’ve always said that
The Political Equality League was founded in 1912 by a group of educated middle class activists which included Nellie McClung, Winona Flett, E. Cora Hind, and Francis Marion Beynon. if (Beynon Thomas) had been running things today, she would have been running a strategy group that planned elections, because she was the plotter of the whole thing,” said Linda McDowell, a retired Manitoba history teacher and expert on women’s suffrage. Businesswoman Martha Jane Hample, who would go on to become a member of the provincial legislature, helped bankroll the activities of the league. Outside Winnipeg, there were other hives of suffragist activity in Gimli and in the Roaring River district. “Rural women in Manitoba by 1916 had telephones, good train service and good mail service, and people like Nellie McClung ... travelled to all these places; every little town had an auditorium or an opera house,” said McDowell. “Really, there was a big network, and they
had a lot of support.” Social media and viral videos didn’t exist, of course, but in 1914 the women created major buzz with a provocative play at the Walker Theatre in Winnipeg. Their mock Parliament parodied the intransigence of Manitoba Premier Rodmond Roblin, and imagined a parallel world where women were in power. “Politics unsettles men and unsettled men means unsettled bills, broken furniture, broken vows and divorce.... Man’s place is on the farm,” McClung told the crowd, playing the role of Roblin. Roblin’s government fell the following year amid scandal, and the new Liberal government finally extended the vote to women in 1916. Today, 29 per cent of the Manitoba legislature is composed of women lawmakers. Of the 14 MPs from the province, three are women.
“I thought in 100 years we’d be further along than we are, whether it’s women in politics, women on boards, women running big companies,” lamented Myrna Driedger, founder of the Nellie McClung Foundation and a Conservative member of the Manitoba legislature. Still, Driedger said she’s felt in recent years that there is a new energy among women in Canada, a conviction that they must have a seat at the decision-making table. Earlier this month, 600 women gathered in Winnipeg at a business networking event called “SHE Day.” “It seems that there is something happening,” she said. “We are taking more charge of ensuring that we can be leaders, and inspiring leaders, and inspiring the women who come after us.”

Bennett says B.C. mulling more electric car incentives Dirk Meissner Canadian Press
Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the government is considering a second expansion of British Columbia’s incentive programs for electric car buyers. The $10.6 million
Clean Energy Vehicle Program, which includes $5,000 rebates to buy or lease electric vehicles, is due to run out of money in March but efforts are underway to keep it going, Bennett said in an interview on Thursday.
An original program was launched in 2011 but quickly consumed its $4.7-million incentive budget. The $10.6-million program was introduced last April as an extension of the original vehicle program and was forecast to run

for three years. About 2,200 electric vehicles have been purchased through the programs. British Columbia now has more than 3,100 battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles registered in the province, the second highest in Canada. “I have certainly reported to government the Clean Energy Vehicle Program has been incredibly successful,” said Bennett. “A three-
year funding amount has been used up in less than a year. It shows to me the public is really keen on doing this.” The incentives in last year’s program included $7.5 million in rebates for electric vehicle purchases, with the remaining money to be spent on infrastructure to charge vehicles and research. Bennett said a third phase would mirror the first two.
“The largest amount would go to incentives and the smaller amounts would go to charging infrastructure,” he added. The government announced Thursday that it will spend $50,000 to help train certified electricians to install and maintain vehicle charging stations. The money will subsidize course fees with a Port Coquitlam-based training company. The fees apply to the training
program operated by E2Inc at locations throughout B.C. Bennett said B.C. already has the largest public-charging network in Canada for electric vehicles at more than 1,000 outlets, but more can be done. Last month, B.C. joined a global alliance pledging to ensure all new vehicles in their jurisdictions are zero-emissions models by 2050.
