Derby back at Fort Steele T R E VO R CR AWL EY
While JCI Kootenay is excited for the upcoming Family Fishing/Fun Derby — there has been a slight change to the event, as organizers deemed it necessary to change locations. Everything is still the same — same day, same prizes, same fun for the whole family and same worthy cause, how-
ever, the location has been moved to Fort Steele Heritage Town. Mike Matejka, one of the organizers behind the event, noted that while ice conditions at Horseshoe Lake are adequate for a person to walk on, there was uncertainty the safety implications of having a large crowd of people, along
with the planned event infrastructure, out on the frozen lake. “It’s not a fun decision to make, said Matejka. “However, the safety of the participants and the desire to guarantee and event that will raise money for kids with cancer makes it an easier choice. We have to action our backup plan with
enough lead time and we can’t take into account weather forecasts that may or may not improve the ice situation.” So on Feb. 8, 2016, head on out to Fort Steele for the Family Fun Derby, where all kinds of family friendly activities will be going on from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The East Kootenay’s post-secondary institution is marking an important milestone next week. College of the Rockies is inviting all students, alumni, community partners and current and former employees to help celebrate its 40th anniversary at an event set for Tuesday, Feb. 2, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The event is billed as “a wonderful chance to reconnect with old friends and to learn what the future holds for the College’s next chapter.” The College with it’s seven regional campuses, has come a long ways since James Patterson, a miner from Kimberley and member of the local school board, first approached the provincial government in Victoria, along with other interested parties, and initiated the process of establishing a vocational school in the East Kootenay. East Kootenay Community College was established on May 8, 1975 with an edict from the government that the main campus be constructed in Cranbrook. It was to offer vocation-
“We’re trying to develop a stronger college brand and a stronger presence. For part of our 40th anniversary, we’ll be rolling out a new branding strategy and a new way forward.” David Walls COTR President
al, technical and academic courses and Dr. Gary Dickinson became its first Principal in June of that year. The first classes took place on October 6, 1975 and the number of registered students that first year was 351 in Cranbrook, 64 in Kimberley, 52 in Fernie, 39 in Golden and 37 in Invermere. From 1975 to 1982, while a new facility was being constructed, courses were delivered in various venues in Cranbrook (the college operated out of 17 different locations in Cranbrook) and in high school classrooms in the other communities during the evening.

Cranbrook’s urban deer flock to new app Trevor Crawley
Back in 2012, people looking for love could take advantage of a new smartphone app called Tinder. The concept was simple enough—create a profile, upload a picture, then users could swipe left or right when searching out other users. Swipe left to ignore, swipe right to be matched up and start a conversation. Since it’s launch, Tinder is now registering one billion ‘swipes’ per day. However, as discovered by the folks over at CranbrookCity.com, the deer in Cranbrook have Timber—a dating app for urban deer. After all, urban deer need love, too. “For quite some time we’d been wondering what was happening to the lost and stolen cellphones in our area, they never seemed to turn up in lost & founds nor were they recovered under sofa cushions,” said Lee Tengum, one half of the team at CranbrookCity. com. “One evening while walking home, seemingly alone, we heard the familiar sound of that annoying whistle ring tone and what we discovered was amaz-
ing. The deer have adapted to using the phones.” CranbrookCity. com—a media website built to showcase the good things about Cranbrook—was created to push back against a negative review by the travel guide, Lonely Planet. The website was built by Tengum and Nathan
Siemens and is not affiliated in any official capacity with the City Of Cranbrook. Timber functions just like the app you can download on your smartphone, however, instead of swiping, those lonesome ungulates can click their approval and get matched up with other Timber users.
Family Fun Derby back at Fort Steele From wagon rides, tug-o-war, sack races, fishing-themed games and crafts and a movie at the Wildhorse Theatre, there are all kinds of things to look forward to. Parents and adults can get in on some fun, too, with a silent auction and a 50/50 draw. Hot food and Tim Hortons coffee and chilli will be available by donation. The event is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, with proceeds going towards travel and accommodations at treatment and support services for
Continued from page 1 children battling cancer. Children across the Kootenays who are fighting cancer will also be entered into a draw for a Disneyland vacation donated by Dakota Freight or a Sunshine Houseboats vacation on Lake Koocanusa. Tickets that have already been purchased for the fishing derby can be used for the Family Fun Derby. Tickets are also available at Fort Steele Heritage Town leading up to, and on the day of, the event. Prices are $5 for children under 16 and seniors and $10 for adults.
For other information about the event including ticket locations please visit them at FamilyFishingDerby. com or Facebook.com/ FamilyFishingDerby, or call them at 250-9193511 The Family Fishing Derby would like to thank its WHALE sponsors Genex Marketing, Tim Hortons, Dacota Freight, Sunshine Houseboats, Caliper Machine & Hydraulic, Williams Moving and Storage, Economy Vacuum Tankers, Kootenay Knitting and Summit 107.

Committee Volunteer Opportunity Board of Variance
And those lovelorn ungulates have their own stories to tell to their newfound dearly beloved. From bragging about how many culls they’ve survived to sharing their personal interests such as hanging out at the Clover Patch—the local feeding hole—each one has their own tales to share. “These deer are amazingly articulate for lacking thumbs,” said Tengum. “Their hobbies are fascinating and the interests they have are uncanny. I’d often thought the deer were watching my TV from my yard, now I know they are.” Currently, there are forty two ungulates signed up for the app, and given Cranbrook’s urban deer population—104 at last count in Dec. 2014—there could be many more to come. To check out what the urban deer are up to on Timber, visit www. cranbrookcity.com

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Snow and Ice Management Plan - Snow removal in the City is conducted according to the Snow & Ice Management Plan. This plan, which is reviewed annually and incrementally improved, is designed to keep City streets and paths cleared of snow in the most timely and cost effective manner possible. City crews are also currently monitoring and clearing snow piles in anticipation of warmer weather. • Please move any vehicles parked on the street during snow removal in order to avoid having the vehicle plowed in. This also allows the street to be plowed more effectively and efficiently as well as ensures that catch basins are cleared of snow. • Please slow down and move over when approaching snow removal equipment. Keep both yourself and the operator safe by being extra cautious as the operators of these large pieces of equipment are not always able to see approaching vehicles. The City thanks you for your cooperation and patience. More information on snow removal can be found on the City’s website at Kimberley.ca/services/snow-removalinformation-faqs. If you have any questions, please contact us at Operations@kimberley.ca or 250-427-9660. Solid Waste Changes – City Council adopted a new Solid Waste and Regulations Bylaw on September 28, 2015. The new bylaw requires garbage bags to be set in garbage cans at the curb, and encourages recycling by not allowing recyclable materials to be included in household garbage. Kimberley has been dealing with an urban deer issue and garbage has been an attractant for deer and other wildlife. Using garbage cans will help to keep wildlife out of the garbage. The City thanks all residents for complying with the new regulations. Please visit our website at https://kimberley.civicweb.net/ Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=603 to view the new bylaw. Interface Fuels Management Open House - The City of Kimberley will be hosting an open house on February 2nd at 7 p.m. at Centennial Hall. We will provide information on the Fuels Management Programs within City of Kimberley’s municipal boundary. Information will be presented on past, current, and future projects; depicting project locations, objectives, description of fuels before and after treatments, and lessons learned. There will also be information on the Fire Smart Canada program. Refreshments will be provided.

Auxiliary constables recognized for service
Tow n s m a n s ta f f
Two local Auxiliary Constables — Noel Oslund and Bruce Smith — were recently recognized by the RCMP, with pins presented in appreciation of their volunteer services. A press releasse issued by the Kimberley RCMP said both volunteers received their training in 2008/9 in Cranbrook but transferred to Kimberley in July, 2014. The training for the program is very involved and once completed, constables are expected to volunteer for a minimum of 160 hours per year. Many of them exceed that. The constables work with regular RCMP officers in a variety roles including community events and public relations. In addition to regular shifts auxiliary constables assist with large events, including Julyfest, Gran Fondo and Wasa Triathlon.
Noel Oslund is involved with a nonprofit housing society and raised in Kimberley so he is connected to the community which can benefit him and other officers in dealing with situations. “I enjoy the camaraderie of the force and being able to work with officers in a proactive role,” Oslund said. “My son is an RCMP officer so I can relate to his career choice.” Bruce Smith, a dealer principal with Alpine Toyota, has never experienced a negative reaction from a customer as a result of involvement with the RCMP. “As a young man I had aspirations of joining the RCMP,” Bruce Smith said. “I ended up in the car business so this is a great way for me to experience police work and carry on as a business owner.” Police Services Division, Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, issues Auxilia-

Pins are provided as a form of recognition and appreciation for an auxiliary constable’s years of service to the citizens of British Columbia as a volunteer in
the Auxiliary Constable Program. Both volunteers received five year pins. Auxiliary constables hold other jobs but assist regular members

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, January 28th, 2016 ON STREET PARKING AROUND EAST KOOTENAY REGIONAL HOSPITAL PROHIBITED EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1ST. Due to traffic congestion during the winter months on 24th Avenue South from 2nd Street South to 1st Street South, and 23rd Avenue North from 2nd Street North to 4th Street North, because of snowbanks which are left by snow plowing activities, Council resolved in November 2009 to prohibit parking in these areas from December 1st to March 31st every year. These restrictions are required to ensure free flow of traffic to and from the hospital, particularly for emergency vehicles. This location will be patrolled on a regular basis by Bylaw Services, regardless of the weather or road conditions. The prescribed fine for being unlawfully parked in the posted area is $25.00.

Residents and users of Idlewild Park must respect all of the signage in place and stay outside of the fence until further notice. With the ongoing changes in the water levels and the continuing cold temperatures, ice is forming in unstable, tiered layers making conditions very treacherous and dangerous.

College of the Rockies marks 40th Continued from page 1 Since then, the College has come to serve a regional population of more than 82,000 people and 45,000 square kilometre area. Since the 130,000 square-foot Cranbrook campus opened in 1982, it has grown with additions and renovations, expansions. The College has developed partnerships with the Ktunaxa First Nations and other universities, developed a glowing reputation for its international students, become the first step in a post-secondary career for local young people, and become a degree-granting institution in its own right. Since Dickinson’s tenure as “principal” (1975-77), six others have served as the College’s President. Mr. David Walls, who took over the helm in 2013, spoke to the Townsman about the College’s place in the communities of the region, and its way forward into the future. It’s important the community recognizes the College’s place in the community — a part of the community, not apart from the community. “Everyone recognizes that we’re an important presence in the community, and they hear about things that we’re doing, but don’t
always feel as well connected to us as they would like to,” Walls said. “We’re working on developing a stronger college brand and a stronger presence. For part of our 40th anniversary, we’ll actually be rolling out a new branding strategy and a new way forward.” A key aspect of the College’s presence is the fact that local young people can begin their post-secondary careers at home, including starting university degrees. “We’ve got partnerships in place with the University of Victoria, for example, and the University of Lethbridge, where they can begin their degree here, and actually enroll at those universities the same time they enroll with us,” Walls said. And they’re taking university level courses, and the credits they get are then transferable direct to those universities. Once they’ve completed 24 credits with us, they get guaranteed admission and take those 24 credits, or more, with them. “So really, it’s much more affordable for local students to do that here. If they’re at home they’re not paying for Vancouver or Victoria kinds of accommoda-

tions. Plus, tuition fees are cheaper and class sizes are smaller. Walls said that students’ chances of success are shown to be greater “when they actually start out their university careers here. “So we really present a good opportunity for young people to begin a post-secondary career. “We’re hoping as we move forward that we can encourage more students to take that opportunity.” Trades training is as important as ever for the College. But over the years the entire concept of college education has grown as well, including at COTR. “That’s maybe the old view of a college, as opposed to a university,” Walls said. “It used to be that a college focuses on trades training, and a university focuses more on academic programing. “But really, that boundary has blurred. Trades are still important for us. We have about 600 students who come to us every year that take a variety of trades, either as apprentices or to take a certificate program to get into a trade. But
they’re really only about 20 per cent of the story of what the College is about. “I think that’s part of the lack of understanding. To some extent we get thought of as the trade college, but we are so much more than that. The important thing we’re going to emphasize moving forward is that the concept of college education has definitely changed.” Part of the ongoing change at COTR is an increasing presence of international students. In fact, COTR has received accolades for its work with students from other countries, having been voted two years in a row as being number one for international student satisfaction. “To put that in context there were about 160 colleges and universities who took part in the study around the world,” Walls said. “We have students from about 35 different countries, who come and live in the community. Last year we were about 11 per cent international students and we have targets to move up to about 15 per cent of our student population.” This growing global

Call for Applications The 1980 Kimberley Winter Games and the 2008 Kimberley/Cranbrook BC Winter Games continue to leave a legacy of endowment funds to be given out to amateur sporting organizations. The KDCF is once again inviting sports organizations to apply for grants that will help develop amateur sport in the community. This invitation is open to any and all organizations in Kimberley. Preference will be given to organizations that will use the funds to develop the skills and knowledge of coaches, referees, volunteers, or athletes; or to purchase sports equipment. Applicants do not need to be a registered charity, but will be required to supply financial statements and digital photographs. For more information and to download an application, please visit www. kimberleyfoundation.ca; or contact Desiree M c Ka y at d esmck ay@ shaw.ca.

approach works both ways. “We’re trying to present different opportunities, as well, for our (domestic) students to go abroad, and incorporate some international experience as part of their training.” COTR also works internationally on a college to college level. “We also participate in international projects overseas. We do a lot of development work through government or private corporations where we help other colleges (in Kenya), where we help raise their standards of post-secondary education.” Walls was asked about the future; what, for example, the College will look like in 20 years. “Last year, we served more than 3,000 stu-
dents who were enrolled at our seven campuses,” he said. “What I see in the future is some steady growth on that, driven by both increases in domestic and international students. We’re also getting more involved in really working with the community — we want our students when they’re here to have an experiential learning piece as part of their program where they’ll spend some time get-
ting to know how industry operates and how business operates within our community. That’s built into their learning, so there’s more than just the classroom side as well. “We really want to extend that presence where we’re much more integrated with the community. That’s part of our vision moving forward — just to be a growing, vibrant institution as we march forward.”

CONSULTATION FOR A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Pest Management Plan Number RDEK – PMP - 2016/2021 The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is renewing a Pest Management Plan and will submit the plan for approval under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This Plan will describe a Mosquito Control Program using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of insecticides, and will replace the need for Pesticide Use Permits. Purpose: Mosquito Control for the purpose of nuisance control. Application Method: Treatment of mosquito larva development sites by hand and helicopter application. Location: Within the RDEK’s existing Mosquito Extended Service Area which includes the Wasa, TaTa Creek, and Skookumchuk areas north of Fort Steele along the Kootenay River. Pesticide: Yearly totals up to, but not exceeding: • 1000 ha with Aquabac (PCP No. 26863) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) • 1000 ha with Vectobac 200 G (PCP No. 19466) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis) A selection of insecticides has been chosen to increase the ability to target mosquito populations in the most environmentally responsible method possible. All products listed are registered in Canada for the intended use. Aquabac and Vectobac have been chosen to control larval mosquitoes in their development sites. This pesticide is target specific, non-residual, and non-toxic. The RDEK will not treat the total area of all the products listed above, but will choose the best method to treat with the least environmental impact. All products are registered for mosquito control in Canada. This project will begin April 15, 2016 and be completed by April 14, 2021 Attention: Chris Bosman, Recreation and Control Services Supervisor Regional District of East Kootenay #19 – 24th Avenue South, Cranbrook BC, V1C 3H8 Email: cbosman@rdek.bc.ca Tel: (250) 489-2791 or Toll-free:(888) 478-7335 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 address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

W
alking is very good for a person if he or she doesn’t walk into trouble. After our ancestors descended from the trees they could no longer swing about from branch to branch so they walked. It was their modus operandi. Except for the times when they were forced to run away or after things, they walked and, apparently, it was good for them; they reproduced like mad and walked out of Africa and spread out all over the world. We, their descendants, are very good at walking and so our leaders got us hiking all over the place, far too often into war whilst they had invented for themselves new modes of transport like horses, yaks, camels and such. Hundreds of Celtic warriors, coated tastefully in blue woad, hiked after their queen Boudicca as she led them in her brand new chariot against the Romans, who slaughtered them. Later, Henry V encouraged his followers by yelling “Once more into the breech!” and, they, obedient and true, rushed in on foot and got massacred. Ulysses S.

on foot too. It was the fashion. Then the offspring of the survivors of those fiascos decided that they too would ride, but horses are inclined to be a tad messy in the streets, and so they invented vehicles. Thence the cart, the wagon, the omnibus and the automobile: walking became a symbol of poverty, the means of transport for the poor and disenfranchized. So, when my lovely spouse and I first lived in Prince George — named after he who often rode a horse just to show off — we were inclined to walk. We denied poverty and claimed that we were endeavouring to get fit and possibly get back to being bipedal human beings, but nobody Peter would let us. Every time we Warland stepped out for a breath of air, we’d be picked up by some embarrassed stranger and hauled off to somewhere indoors, out of sight. But things have changed over the ensuing sixty or more years. All sorts of people are out striding hither and thither and, recently, probably because of the surfeit of snow and ice, they are often seen standing around in groups comparing foot-gear. They look like so many comatose storks. I was out footloose and fancy free — and incidentally illegally because I wasn’t with a dog — in Cranbrook’s Communist Forest today and so joined such a group. Most of the people were not actually comatose; they were admiring one woman’s

footwear; she was sporting some sort of anti-skid material on her shoes. I had already run into a covey of storks up the St Mary’s valley the week before They were standing around on the trails, some with one foot up, and I thought they might be discussing the proposed rezoning of those lovely Marysville Benchlands but no; they were studying the soles of an older man’s boot. Many years ago I was shown some instep crampons that folk wore in Nova Scotia so that they didn’t slip-slide off into the chilly Atlantic and they’d intrigued me. I had used full length crampons for climbing on glaciers and ice-falls and so I purchased some but, somehow, they got themselves lost. However, such things are au fait to many these days; they’re fashionable; I am going to buy some. Last Christmas my friend Paul persuaded me to climb to the top of Lone Pine Butte near Wycliffe. I had been suffering with a corn on one toe and was unable to wear my nailed walking boots with any sort of comfort, so I’d donned softer shoes. For me, it was a calamity. I slipped, I slid, I stumbled and tumbled. There was fresh over the vegetation and I barely made it back to Paul’s house. I was exhausted. I needed crampons so, as I said before, I am definitely going to buy some, but realize that making a decision is going to be hard.

Letters to the Editor
No need for Council to apologize
Liz White, a founder and board member of the Animal Alliance of Canada, also leads the Animal Alliance Voters Party, a federal political party registered on December 10, 2005, with the aim of allowing donors to receive a tax credit. White ran unsuccessfully for election in Toronto in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2015. She co-authored a bill that called for animals to be regarded as “living property.” The bill died in the Senate. [Wikipedia.org] How did Cranbrook get into a joint venture with such an extreme party? Former Mayor Stetski can best answer: “I am part of a committee that is looking to get translocations underway because the new science … tells us that it can be and has been done successfully.” The full-page ads (Townsman) Dec. 3, Jan. 14 and Jan. 18 demonstrate that truth, facts and evidence mean little to them. The ad states culls are expensive and refers to the city’s 2015 culling of 4 deer at a cost of over $5000 each. But they left out the fact that the cull was small due to the nets being cut—a crime yet to be solved. Their ad and letters demonstrate they are ill-informed, misinformed and uninformed. Kathy Wilson comments: “Adopting a non-lethal management program would have satisfied people on both sides of the aisle.” Translocation has been tried 100 times in 47 states and found to be cruel and a failure. Wilson ignores those who follow and apply the scientific method for problem solving and who are completely different from those who are emotion driven. On humaneness (BC Urban Ungulate Conflict Analysis, p. 77): As stated by Conover (2002) the biological realities of capture and relocation are quite different from the public perception of “they lived happily ever after, just somewhere else.” Capture and relocation can be extremely stressful for the animals. They can suffer high rates of capture-related injuries, mortalities, and capture myopathy causing debilitation and death following release. J. Beringer, in the Wildlife Society Bulletin [30(3) 767-774] reports on the efficacy of translocation. That is the reason wildlife officials in BC have not been involved in translocations. Gerry Warner said, “We did a survey and studied the problem, which didn’t do a hell of a lot of good either.” Gerry, that city survey showed 70 per cent in favour of
a cull and informed the democratic-minded Council to push for the people — net cutting, etc. notwithstanding. Warner states he has difficulty believing Mayor and Council would approve a clandestine deer cull — while telling the public they were going to translocate deer instead of killing them. Warner’s difficulty is understandable, as none of it is true. Thus, Warner’s uncalled for apology is moot. Warner says, “Once again Cranbrook’s name has been darkened from coast to coast to coast.” Do you really think the 900 US cities that have culled have lost tourism? William G. Hills
Cull Contracting
Mr. RC Kerr has had many positive things to say about deer culls and has been given a lot of space by The Bulletin/ Townsman to do that. Recently they set aside their bold printed policy of “only one letter per month from any particular letter writer” and published letters by RC Kerr on January 18 and 21. RC Kerr has had a series of articles on deer management published by the Townsman/Bulletin in which he has strongly expressed his fondness for culls. In spite of all this opportunity he has been given he has left out an important fact. Mr. RC Kerr is a cull contractor and benefits financially from deer culls. He worked on the first Kimberley cull after he resigned his position as chair of the deer committee where he lead a decision to implement deer culls as well as to send him to Montana for training on deer culls, all expenses paid. He was also paid by The City of Kimberley to mentor the current Cranbrook cull contractor, whose recent cull work in Cranbrook was caught on camera and appears to be violating permit conditions set by the Ministry of Lands, Forests and Natural Resource Operations. Last year RC Kerr made close to $16,000 in the Oak Bay deer cull. Sherry Adams
Mayor and MP
On January 15th, you published a letter from two supporters of Mr Stetski, Johnston & Green, in which they criticized Cranbrook Mayor Pratt for apparently not spending time with our new MP. They seem not to understand that Mr Stetski is a member of the third place fed-
eral party. He is not even a member of the Official Opposition and as such, has about the same amount of influence over the new federal government as a Bloc MP. Our Mayor is focusing on bringing jobs to our community, reaching out to the City of Kimberley to find ways to help both communities. He is not doing what Mr Stetski did when he was our mayor, wasting our tax dollars on personal pet projects and special interest groups. It is no wonder Mayor Pratt has no time for Wayne Stetski. My recommendation to the Mayor work with Bill Bennett. He sits at the cabinet table. He can and does help us. Let our new lame duck MP tilt at windmills for the next four years and then, please Lord, replace him. Jennifer Long
Kimberley City Haul
Let me try and get this straight. First we all put our garbage out in cans. Then we put our garbage out in bags in cans. Then we put our garbage out in bags sans cans. Next we put our garbage out in bags in specified plastic containers. Next we put some of our garbage out in bags in plastic containers and haul the rest ourselves. Next will we put none of the garbage in plastic containers and haul it all ourselves? Nice touch having someone go around ahead of the pickup crew, placarding offenders, so the debris can be left behind. Looks like really average work. Ed Purves
Helping Hands
In the January 21 edition of the Townsman/Bulletin the President of the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank provided statistics that offer a more accurate indication of the usage of the food bank. They show that usage was closer to five per cent of the adults, six per cent of the households, and 16 per cent of the children rather than 30% of the adults, 45 per cent of the households, and 85 per cent of the children as the previously reported figures suggested. Thanks for the clarification, Stan. Bob Johnstone
St. Mary’s School celebrates 50th year Rebecc a Miller
Preparations are in full swing at Cranbrook’s St. Mary’s Catholic School for a very special upcoming celebration. The kindergarten to Grade 6 school, which was established on the south side of the city in 1965, will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a number of special events to mark the occasion. The highpoint of the celebration will be a dinner held at The Colombo Lodge on Feb. 20. There will be a 50/50 draw, door prizes, entertainment, and a live auction. Former and current students, parents, staff,

parishioners, and the greater public are invited to come relive the memories they share of Cranbrook’s oldest independent school. Tickets are still available at the school’s office. Other events will include a school mass to be held Feb. 16 at 9am with tea and coffee being served after the celebration. Everyone is also invited to join the students and staff of St. Mary’s for “A Night at the Museum”. This will be an open house event held on the evening of Feb. 17 from 6:30-8pm. Tours of the school will be available allowing alumni and
the public to see how much the school has transformed over the years. As well, student projects will be on display in the school’s gymnasium. All three events are the perfect opportunity to reconnect with past acquaintances and reminisce about the “good ol’ days”. St. Mary’s School is one of seven Catholic independent schools in the Diocese of Nelson. On Sept. 12, 1965, the school received its first students; enrollment consisted of 203 pupils, ranging in grades 1-7. Forty per cent of those students were from the then re-
cently closed St. Eugene’s Residential School. St. Mary’s consisted of eight classrooms, a library, administrative areas, a cafeteria, and an auditorium. Over the years, the building has been altered through numerous additions and most notably, an arson fire which occurred in 2003. However, the spirit of the school has never changed. As current St. Mary’s Principal Jerelynn MacNeil says, it is a school committed to “providing children with a solid foundation for academics and faith in a kind and safe environment”.

Ice defenceman Murray suspended by WHL Veteran blueliner banned two games for hit on Spokane Chiefs forward Wyatt Johnson
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Kootenay Ice defenceman Troy Murray has been suspended for two games following a check to the head major penalty incurred Saturday, Jan. 23, in a 3-1 loss to the Spokane Chiefs. The announcement was made by the Western Hockey League Tuesday afternoon. The 18-year-old defenceman will miss both of his team’s games this weekend — Friday, Jan. 29 at Red Deer and Sunday, Jan. 31 at Edmonton. He will be eligible to return to play when the Ice host the Oil Kings Tuesday, Feb. 2 at Western Financial Place. Murray was slapped with five-minute major for checking to the head,
along with a game misconduct, 12:35 into the second period of play at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena after delivering a heavy hit to Chiefs centre Wyatt Johnson. On the play, the 6-foot-1 Murray cut across the centre red line, contacting Johnson in open ice with a high left arm. At the time, Johnson was carrying the puck. The 20-year-old Chiefs veteran left the game following the hit, but returned to play shortly after. In the meantime, Murray was immediately confronted by Chiefs defenceman Evan Fiala, and the two dropped the mitts for a short, but spirited scrap. Fiala was charged with a two-min-
ute instigator penalty along with a five-minute major for fighting and a 10-minute misconduct. Murray, a native of White City, Sask., was also handed a five-minute fighting major at the end of the brouhaha, rounding his collection of penalty minutes up to 20 on the one sequence. The smooth-skating defenceman has now racked up 47 penalty minutes over 46 games this season, eclipsing the career high of 35 he set in 2014-15. Murray, a first-round pick (10th overall) of the Kootenay Ice at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, has registered nine assists in 46 games this season. In 182 career WHL games, Murray has three goals, 40 points and 92 minutes in penalties.
Dynamiters aim to maintain momentum on Saturday trip to Castlegar Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters remain atop the KIJHL dog pile with the regular season days slowly but surely wearing thin. Saturday night, the Nitros (34-5-0-4) will look to build upon a three-game winning streak and inch closer to clinching the regular season Eddie Mountain Division throne, Kootenay Conference title and league crown when they visit the Castlegar Rebels (27-12-2-0). “Playing our game, playing sound defensive hockey and scoring on our chances,” said alternate captain Jared Marchi of what his club needs to focus on down the stretch in order to top last season’s KIJHL championship run. “Really, just being a character team, coming out hard every period. If you’re having a down shift, come back out and battle through it. Just keep your feet moving and keep things positive.” All sound like key ingredients to success and coming from a guy like
the 20-year-old Marchi who puts them into action each night, it’s tough to disagree. A battered, bruised and ill Nitros squad will be challenged Saturday in Castlegar, just as it was Tuesday against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Out of action Tuesday was captain Jason Richter (upper body), forward/defenceman Trey Doell (broken thumb) and forward Austyn Moser (personal family reasons). Rookie forward James Rota suited up despite being a questionable game-time decision and defenceman Justin Meier (lower body) was dressed and on the bench, but didn’t see a single second of playing time. On top of it all, there were multiple reports from the coaches and training staff of others emptying their stomachs into garbage bins in between shifts at the back of the bench. “Getting guys healthy is going to be the biggest focus [ahead of Saturday],” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters.
“We probably want to try some things [systematically] over there because these teams [in the Eddie Mountain Division] are the teams we have to play in the [first round] of playoffs. We’ll maybe try a couple things different, see how it works, try to put a little more speed in our game and have a good battle.” Moser is expected to rejoin the club in time for Saturday’s outing, providing one more healthy body for the depleted lineup. The last time the Dynamiters and Rebels met, the visitors from Castlegar claimed a 3-1 victory Nov. 10 to put an end to a 14-game Kimberley winning streak. Former Rebels goaltender Joseph Mcleod was in fine form that night, stealing two points for his club and frustrating the hosts. Since then, Mcleod has graduated up to the BCHL ranks with the Prince George Spruce Kings, so there will be no need to game plan for how to beat him.

Dynamiters goaltender Mitch Traichevich makes a kick save during second period action in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Continued from page 8 “That’s one of those games where you can live with a loss because I thought we played extremely well,” Bancks said. “We got out-goalied and sometimes that happens, so I can live with that. But I like how [the Rebels] play, so it will be a good test going into the playoffs.” While the Nitros are clamouring to lockdown home-ice advantage for the duration of the KIJHL post-season, the Rebels are battling to close ground on the Neil Murdoch Division-leading Beaver Valley Nitehawks (30-9-2-2). The Rebels have a pair of games in hand on the Nitehawks, but sit eight points back with 11 games remaining on their slate. “The last time we ran into [the Rebels] they had a hot goalie,” Marchi said. “We’ve just got to be aware of definitely scoring on our chances over there and limiting their scoring chances on is. If we keep our feet moving, we’ll be fine.”

Canada’s Milos Raonic reaches semifinal of Australian Open C ANADIAN PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia - Canada’s Milos Raonic earned a berth in his second career Grand Slam semifinal on Wednesday with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against Gael Monfils of France at the Australian Open. The 25-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., who also reached the semifinals at

Murray earlier defeated eighth-seed David Ferrer of Spain 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 6-3 to earn his 18th trip to a Grand Slam semifinal. Raonic is the first Canadian man to reach the Australian final four, and just the second Ca-
nadian to do so, after Eugenie Bouchard made it to the semifinals in 2014. The victory over Monfils extended Raonic’s 2016 winning steak to nine matches to equal his previous best in 2012. Top-seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia and No. 3 seed Roger Federer of Switzerland will contest the other semifinal on Thursday.

NHL defenceman Clayton Stoner pleads guilty to hunting without licence in connection with grizzly bear hunt Tamsyn Burgmann Canadian Press
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. National Hockey League defenceman Clayton Stoner has pleaded guilty to hunting without a licence in connection with a grizzly bear hunt on British Columbia’s central coast. Stoner, 30, who plays for the Anaheim Ducks, appeared in an Abbotsford, B.C., court on Wednesday to face one charge under the provincial Wildlife Act involving the hunt in B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest in May 2013. His lawyer entered
the plea on his behalf. The Crown dropped four other charges against him, including knowingly making a false statement to obtain a hunting licence, hunting out of season, and unlawfully possessing dead wildlife. Stoner initially defended his hunting trip with his father, an uncle and a friend, but a case was mounted against him after an investigation by B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service. The service announced five charges in September, explaining Stoner did not meet residency requirements for
the provincial hunt when he played for the Minnesota Wild. Stoner applied for his hunting licence in his hometown of Port McNeill, on Vancouver Island, according to court records. But the address he provided was not his primary residence, which the Wildlife Act stipulates must be in B.C., Det. Sgt. Cynthia Mann said in a statement when the charges were made public. Crown lawyer Jim Cryder told the court there is a very strict definition of resident under the act.
In order to obtain a commercial trophy licence, a hunter must have been a resident of B.C. for six months of the previous year, he said. “For an NHL player ... they’re going to be out of the province for at least seven months,” Cryder told the court. “He hasn’t in fact qualified as a resident.” Stoner’s kill sparked angry debate in September 2013 when photos were published in a Vancouver newspaper showing him holding up the grizzly’s severed head. A First Nations group also screened a docu-
mentary in Vancouver featuring the pictures, which were taken by a Heiltsuk Nation field technician who confronted Stoner after the kill. Jess Housty, a tribal councillor with the First Nation based in Bella Bella, has said Stoner boasted about the animal he had shot and showed off the paws and head. But Stoner claimed at the time to have the necessary permits and licences. He also released a public statement saying he grew up hunting and fishing in B.C. and would contin-
ue those activities. The grizzly shot by Stoner, which local residents had named Cheeky, was killed in the Great Bear Rainforest. Brian Falconer, with the Raincoast Conservation Fund, read a victim impact statement in court. He said Cheeky was an asset to his group’s work. “He was comfortable being viewed by humans,” said Falconer. “His untimely death due to Mr. Stoner’s unlawful actions has caused us significant harm, including financial loss, and has been a
significant disappointment to our guides and clients.” Falconer said the animal’s remains should be returned. Stoner’s lawyer, Marvin Stern, told Judge Brent Hoy that his client wasn’t opposed to turning over the bear’s skull and hide. An examination of the bear’s tooth showed the animal was 18 years old. The remains are being held by the province. Stoner is currently listed on the injured reserve list with his team, although the NHL is now taking its All-Star break.
Budapest city council approves venues for 2024 Olympic bid Pablo Gorondi Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary - Budapest’s city council on Wednesday approved the list of venues to be included in its bid
for the 2024 Olympics. The project includes the construction of a 60,000-capacity stadium for track and field, a velodrome, a tennis complex
with a 10,000-seat main court, as well as temporary facilities downtown for events such as beach volleyball and archery. The track and field
stadium, which would also host the opening and closing ceremonies, would be located just south of the city centre, near the Olympic Park to

be built on Csepel Island in the Danube River. The park would also hold the tennis complex, a track for BMX racing and the Olympic Village to house up to 17,000 athletes, coaches and others. A feasibility study published last year estimated development costs for the Olympics at 1.074 trillion forints ($3.7 billion), with net costs after the sale of venues and other revenues calculated at 774 billion forints ($2.7 billion).
Many of the venues are planned to be temporary, while others will be scaled back after the games. Capacity at the track and field stadium would be cut to 15,000. The Ferenc Puskas Stadium, being rebuilt to host games of the 2020 European Championships, would host the Olympic soccer finals. Several events, including golf, rowing and equestrian, and preliminaries of the basketball, handball and soccer
events would be held outside Budapest. At its session Wednesday, council also rejected a proposal by opposition parties to hold a referendum on the bid. The opposition said it was worried about the lack of transparency and the risk of corruption surrounding the project. Budapest is competing with L.A., Paris and Rome for the 2024 Games. The IOC will select the host city in September 2017.

Clever takes on the ‘something old, new, borrowed, blue’ tradition
wish for good fortune and prosperity, but this is not a tradition widely celebrated outside of the United Kingdom or British territories. These traditions can add some creative flair and personality to wedding ceremonies. There’s no end to the inventive combinations of items brides can carry to increase their good fortunes.
Something old Something old is one of the easier mementos to obtain. There
is a good chance that someone in the family is willing to pass an item down to the bride that she can include in her wedding wardrobe. It also can be something the bride may have in her own memory box. Beads taken from a grandmother’s dress or a swatch of fabric from a beloved toy doll are creative ideas that can be sewn into inconspicuous places on gowns.
Something new Brides already purchase many new items for their wedding day

looks, so “something new” should not be too hard to find. Couples may want to work together to find something new they can both carry so they have a matching set upon tying the knot. Interlocking charm bracelets or keychains may work. What about the groom carrying a small padlock and the bride the key? Quirky couples can each wear one sock from a pair. Get clever and have fun.
Something borrowed Much like something old, something borrowed is yet another
way to pay homage to a friend or family member. It’s also one way to add a sentimental twist to everyday items. Borrow a grandfather’s handkerchief to wrap around the stems of the wedding bouquet. Exchange vows with the original rings used by a distant relative at their own wedding. Flatter a close friend by wearing the same veil she did.
Blue gloves and garter can fulfill the “something blue” in the popular good-luck wedding tradition.

edding day tokens of good luck come in many forms, but “the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (a sixpence in your shoe)” adage remains one of the most popular luck-enhancing wedding traditions. According to the bridal resource The Knot, this tradition stems from an Olde English rhyme. Something old represents continuity; something new is for optimism for the future; something borrowed stands for borrowed happiness; and something blue is for purity, love and fidelity. The sixpence in your shoe is a
SANDOR
Something blue There are many ways to incorporate “something blue” into
your wedding ceremony. Brides can paint their toenails blue or wear blue shoes under their gowns. Sew a patch from a pair of denim jeans into the bodice of the dress. Paint the bottom of your shoes bright blue so they stand out when kneeling at the altar. Blue sapphire or topaz jewelry can add an exotic look to the wedding wardrobe. With a little ingenuity, brides can easily incorporate “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” into their wedding ceremonies.

ber instead of August. The government had previously said it wouldn’t force proponents like Kinder Morgan to restart the approval process all over again. A separate ministerial representative will be appointed to directly consult communities, including first nations, during the extension period and report back to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr. Funding will be provided for first nations to participate. Direct and upstream greenhouse gas emissions linked to the projects will now be assessed, but not the downstream emissions when fossil fuels are burned in destination countries. The climate change analysis for each project, to be conducted by the federal environment department, will be made public. The changes effectively add an extra layer of review to plug what the government says were major gaps in the flawed NEB review process left by the Harper Conservatives. “Without the confidence of Canadians, none of these projects will move forward,” Carr said. He said final project decisions by cabinet will be based on science, traditional knowledge of indigenous people and other relevant evidence. Carr wouldn’t say how much weight would be given factors such as climate change impacts or aboriginal concerns, but he cited past court rulings on the Crown’s duty to consult first nations as one reason for the change. The new rules, billed as a transition step ahead of new legislation to reform the NEB, will apply not just to new pipelines but to all federally reviewed projects, such as mines and port expansions.

The College offers Practical Nursing, Health Care Assistant, Certified Dental Assistant, Kinesiology and Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs in Cranbrook each year.

college where she could receive the one-on-one attention not available at a larger institution. “There are 17 students in my class, I am able to get one-on-one assistance every day!” she says. “The teachers here are amazing. Not only are they very understanding and patient but they are also fun. They are always available for extra help and give great feedback to help us improve.”
nity, nursing students receive hands-on learning that prepares them for real-life workplace scenarios. “We are in our first semester of the program but we are already doing practicums. We are getting great hands-on experience right from the start of the program,” Jenna adds. If being a busy student isn’t enough, Jenna also acts as a Student Ambassador for the College. “I wanted a way to get involved with the post-secondary institution I chose. I fell in love with the College and want to be able to represent it.”
The entire College experience has been positive for Jenna so far. “It’s a great atmosphere at COTR. It is like a family. Everyone knows everyone and says hi to each other in the halls.

Spirit Rock Climbing Center is a fun and fascinating place to get fit. A positive vibe of challenges, success and support permeates the bright, clean atmosphere. People of all ages and shapes can be seen at Spirit Rock intermingling and cheering each other on as the climbers test their skills and resolve against gravity. People who come in the door often think of climbing as a dangerous sport for adventurers and crazy thrill seekers. It isn’t. Climbing in a well-managed and safe climbing center is safer than downhill skiing or
250.427.7200
mountain biking, and the expectations for thrills are only what you create for yourself. Some people will push themselves on the steepest, most overhanging walls while others are thrilled because they got
up 2 meters of vertical wall and overcame their fear of heights. Ropes dangle around the perimeter of the walls waiting for a climber to take up their challenge.
S P I R I T RO C K C L I M B I N G . C O M
K I M B E R L E Y, B C
Will it be you who ties in and scales the 38’ vertical wall or maybe the 50’ wall complete with overhangs? The Spirit Rock Staff are ready to help you out to learn all the rope work techniques and safety practices in our short, easy courses that will have you climbing the walls in a matter of 20-30 minutes from coming in the door. Longer, more skills oriented courses are available as well. If using ropes doesn’t appeal to you right now, what about going to the bouldering wall on the mezzanine? Maybe a short wall with no ropes and a 16” deep foam pad to land on is more your style. The climbs there range from toddler quality to super hard overhangs on pinches and slopers (tiny holds and rounded slippery holds). The really fun thing is that the burly guy who just did the hard overhang will be next to you helping his four-year old daughter in the princess outfit scramble up the toddler route as she pulls on a ladybug shaped rock to get up. If you ask he’ll be happy to provide some tips about
your moves as well. Climbing is a family event and also a personal thing. Grandma is 20 feet off the deck while their grandsons belay (keep safe through rope work). There’s Dad, bouldering with his daughters. On a Friday night at 9 p.m., teenagers can be found hanging out chatting with adults and discussing “this pulldown or that crimp” or telling their former teacher to reach out and “grab that hold.” If you don’t know what they are talking about just ask away. That’s the beginning of a climbing friendship. They tend to be excellent friendships with no barriers. At Spirit Rock, the climbing isn’t about who is scaling the hardest routes – climbing is about who is having the most fun. Are you happy that you beat your acrophobia (fear of heights), are your arms tired from the workout you gave them, do you have a big smile on your face, do you see a grin on your child’s face? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you’ve had a successful trip to Spirit Rock.

Did you know this about Chinese New Year? BY COCO SEITZ
Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is an important Asian festival celebrated at the turn of the lunisolar Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal trans-
lation of the modern Chinese name. It falls on a different date each year on the Georgian Calendar. This is because the lunisolar Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar move-
ments. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to “catch up” with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years; the same as adding an extra day on leap year.
Chinese New Year is considered the most important holiday for the Chinese. In modern China, migrant workers travel home to have reunion dinners with their families on Chinese New Year’s Eve. It is
known as the world’s largest annual migration. As workers travel home, China’s roads, train stations and airports are hotspots for congestion, with government predictions showing 2.8 billion trips
traveled in the 40 day period. Like all traditional festival in China, Chinese New Year is steeped with stories and myths. It is said that Nian, who ate livestock, crops and even people on the eve of the New Year, was scared of loud noises and the color red. So, to prevent Nian from attacking people and causing destruction, people put red lanterns and red color paper-cuts and couplets on their windows and doors to stop Nian from coming inside. Firecrackers were lit to scare Nian away. The name of this beast Nian sounds the same as “year” in Chinese. Celebrations usually run from the eve to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Many people offer food and wine to their ancestors on the altar in the house. Then family members kneel and bow in front of the wall mounted shrine. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck. Often, New Year’s Eve is an occasion for families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. In northern China a traditional dish for the feast is Jiaozi (dumplings), symbolizing wealth. Southern Chinese eat Niangao (sticky rice cake), symbolizing improvement. Parents and grand-
parents usually give their children and grandchildren money in red paper envelopes, wishing them health and growth in the coming year. It is believed to bring good luck, so it’s also called lucky money. On the first day of the New Year, Chinese put on new clothes to visit families and wish them health, wealth and longevity. The most common Chinese ways of saying Happy New Year are Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin) and Gong Hey Fat Choy (Cantonese). The fifteenth day of the New Year is the Lantern Festival. It is the traditional end of the Spring Festival celebrations. People send aloft glowing lanterns into the sky while others let floating lanterns to on the sea, on rivers or lakes. 2016 Year of the Money 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career and wealth.

Festivals ‘hanging on by the skin of their teeth’ Kootenay festivals struggle with low dollar, huge workloads; Starbelly taking one year hiatus
Will Johnson Nelson Star
K
ootenay festivals struggling to stay afloat this year face a number of challenges: a low Canadian dollar, epic workloads and a granting system that keeps them hanging from “the skin of their teeth” according to the organizers of Starbelly Jam and other stakeholders in the community. “There has been a heck of a lot of retrospection and reflection,” Starbelly chair Galadriel Rael told the Nelson Star, in the wake of news that they will be taking a one-year hiatus. “The irony is the festival is going great. I was personally pondering this concept that we need to always grow and be bigger. We’ve real-
ized now that we’re a small town festival and we’ll always be a small town festival.” But even at the stage things are now, their volunteer infrastructure is stretched to the max. And people are finding they just can’t afford to give time like they used to. “It’s simple: it costs me money to be involved in this festival. Many hands make light work? Well, in such a rural location we don’t have many hands so the weight lies on the shoulders of the few. And the sacrifices involved are huge.” Shambhala strong but still affected Shambhala Music Festival owner Jimmy Bundschuh was a fan of Starbelly, and was sorry to hear of its cancella-
tion this year. He agreed volunteer fatigue is a problem. “It’s a big ask. People have regular lives and regular careers, and most people who work at festivalsdon’t get their primary income from it,” he said. According to Bundschuh, the simple truth is most festival business models aren’t set up to offer lucrative job positions, and rely on passionate volunteers. And though his ticket sales are going strong, he’s feeling the economic pinch from the low Canadian dollar. “It’s a double-whammy in that electronic artists are getting more and more while our dollar is becoming less and less. We’re struggling that way.” Bundschuh said he

would be happy to be involved in a collaborative community effort to support local festivals, and that he would participate if the community can successfully resurrect the Kootenay Columbia Festivals and Events Association. “The Kootenay is the ideal location for festivals, and I hope to see more large-scale community and cultural events. It’s really good for the economy and for our community.” Bandschuh said organizations like the City of Nelson or Columbia Basin Trust looking to support the arts would do well to funnel some of that money towards festivals. “Festivals around the world are on the rise. It’s a growing industry.” Volunteer apps and social media Nelson’s Britz Robins, who works for both Shambhala Music Festival and Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, is part of a team planning

During last year’s Starbelly festival Coco Love Alcorn performed from the Moonbelly stage. It was recently announced the festival is taking a one-year hiatus. to launch a volunteer-organizing app later this year called Sparks Network. “The idea is based on the need to have databases of volunteers for multiple festivals. We’re not releasing this to the
public until July, but it’s something I’ve been working on as a side project.” She believes this app could help with some of the coordinating and collaboration needed to address some of the

strains on the local festival industry. “It becomes a social network type idea where people are being recognized and rewarded for theirvolunteer efforts.” Users receive “Karma Points” for their service. Robins said she was surprised to hear of Starbelly’s cancellation because they have such a strong niche, something key to festival survival — and something she admires in the Tiny Lights Festival. “Out of all the festivals in this area, that’s the one with the biggest buzz,” she said. Robins said festivals need to start embracing the outside world if they hope to survive. She routinely travels to conferences to meet industry contacts and learn what other festivals are doing — especiallyif that involves social media, something that’s long been a Shambhala strong suit. “Living in the Kootenays it’s really easy to live in our own little bubble, but there’s a whole glut of information and experience out where when you take the time to go out to these conventions. I findthat kind of learning invaluable.” ‘Just write another grant’ When disappointed people contacted Rael about Starbelly’s cancellation, she felt they didn’tunderstand the pressures festivals face. “We know we’ve got something good and we most certainly don’t want it to go away,” she said. “I wish people would understand the way the granting system works is it’s built to keep you hanging from the skin of your teeth.” Last year they put additional funds in coffers to prepare for a “rainy day,” but were told having money in the bank actually jeopardized their funding. “If people sat down and understood the budget they would understand there’s no money to pay anybody, and whoever’s getting paid is easily putting in twice as much time for free. It’s frustrating.And then you get comments like ‘just write another grant [application].’” According to Rael, it’s not that easy.

NEWS Snowmobilers rescued from national park face charges Canadian Press
GOLDEN, B.C. — Four snowmobilers who had to be rescued from Glacier National Park earlier this month are facing charges. A Parks Canada spokeswoman says they are charged with operating a snow vehicle in the park without a permit. Jacolyn Daniluck says the penalty can be as high as $25,000. The four also had to pay the cost of using helicopters to recover their sleds. No names have been released, but three of the snowmobilers are from central Alberta and one is from Saskatchewan. They are to appear in court on March 8 in Golden, B.C. Shauna Speers, a search-and-
an avalanche is always there. The foursome, whose sleds had become stuck on a ridge, managed to attract the attention of other snowmobiling friends, who brought them back to a cabin outside the park. The machines were later lifted out of the park by helicopter at a cost of about $4,000. Daniluck said snowmobiles can easily damage endangered trees and plants. They can also disturb wildlife and make the outdoors less enjoyable for other park visitors. Another concern is that they can cause avalanches. “Someone backcountry skiing wouldn’t expect a snowmobile to be above them.”
rescue manager in the Golden district, says the sledders became stranded in the Quartz Creek area west of Golden and called to request a rescue by helicopter. The call came in around 6 p.m. on Jan. 16, Speers says, but it was too dark to use a chopper, so eight search-and-rescue snowmobilers, including herself, were dispatched. “Now this is a big mountainous region, so definitely not something we like responding to at night, based on avalanche conditions and generally seeing where everything was,” she said this week. Speers pointed out that since there is generally no snowmobiling allowed in the park, the snowpack isn’t compact and the potential for

The company is investigating the incident on the mine that’s just north of Sparwood. “We take any incident involving employee safety seriously,” said Teck’s Senior Communication Specialist, Chris Stannell, to the Calgary Herald. “We immediately notified all the regulatory authorities.” While the cause of the accident is not yet known, and while the RCMP in Sparwood was notified of the accident, because it occurred on private land they were not called to the scene.

50 Crazy Foods to try in Iceland: Part I Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel gives us the first 25 items to launch a culinary adventure
W
hile in Iceland last summer, I was fortunate to be able to try some new and interesting foods. Here is the list of strange and wonderful foods to try in Iceland and how I made out with the list in the two weeks I was there. Mysa - a milk by-product, a magic liquid that tastes like sour white wine. Nope, didn’t try it. Slatur – blood pudding or liver pudding, stuffed into sheep stomachs. Thank goodness,
no. Ein med ollu – the hot dog! Oh yes, I ate this. Me and Bill Clinton apparently. He had a heart attack shortly after. But seriously, they do make a good dog, adding fried and raw onions, sweet mustard, and a mayo based sauce with sweet relish. Iceland’s ‘fast food’. Big line ups at the stands. Seal meat – didn’t find seal blubber on any menu, so nope, didn’t try it. Scurvy grass – higher in vitamin C than citrus
fruit, grows wild along the seashore. May have had it in a salad as it is common to add it. Catfish – the ugly fish, really ugly. But delicious, I had it. Don’t look at the teeth on the plate and it’s ok. Laufabraud – ‘leafcut bread’, a traditional Xmas bread. I was there in June, so missed this one. Reindeer – sorry Rudolph, yep, ate this one. Reindeer burger is very good, not gamey at all. Sprengidagur – this actually means ‘Burst-

Good thing I missed that one, so I wouldn’t have to taste them all to decide the best one. Hverabraud – Yummy. Sweet dark rye bread baked in the hot ground near geothermal hot springs. It’s a lovely chewy sweet loaf. Whale meat – Yes, it a controversial food, but it can be found in many restaurants. Minki whale is very tasty, reminded me of ahi tuna as it is usually eaten raw or rare. Yes I did it. Kokkteil-sosa – this is what Icelanders dip their french fries in. A mayo based sauce with ketchup, mustard and spices. Good on fried fish and even to dip
ing Day’ and occurs on Shrove Tuesday. Yellow pea soup and salted lamb meat. Eat as much as you can until you want to burst. Missed it. Berries – Icelandic blueberries and crowberries. Not ripe until August so missed berry picking season. Lysi – Icelandic cod liver oil. Good for what ails you. Nothing ailed me so didn’t try it. Malt & Appelsin - A Xmas drink. Orange soda and malt. Basically dark beer with orange sweetness. Wrong season, so missed it. ‘Housewife’s Cake’ – a competition held in February, the best cakes are sold in bakeries.

of fresh bread is a great lunch. Ptarmigan – the only wild hen bird in the country, traditionally served as Xmas dinner. Missed it. Lundabaggi – sheep intestines. Served pickled or smoked. Full of vitamins, so they say. I passed on this one. Ponnukokur – pancakes! More like a French crepe actually. Add whipped cream and jam, roll it up and serve with coffee. Yummy. Low cal, yes, ha ha. Lamb – every which way. An Icelander eats about 24kg of lamb every year. They are slaughtered at 3-4 months old. There is no gamey taste and very tender. For a non-lamb eater, I found the lamb delicious! That’s the first 25 foods. My taste count is 13 so far. Next time, the final 25 foods and my total taste tally. Stay tuned. There’s some more weird ones coming up!

pizza in. I liked it. Cod – the most common fish in Iceland. Always fresh, always tasty. I ate it many ways. Flatbraud – thin round bread made of rye and cooked in a dry frypan. Top with butter or a slice of smoked lamb. It’s really good. Hakarl – shark. Rotten shark. Easily the worst thing I have tasted so far in my life. The fresh meat contains poisonous ammonia, so it is buried until it rots and the toxins leach out into the soil, then it becomes edible, well not really. The restaurants that serve it (very few) freeze the rotten flesh, cut it into cubes and encourage the diners to eat it semi-frozen before the slimy flesh thaws and releases a horrible ammonia smell. Yep, tried it, twice actually. But no more. Hangikjot – smoked lamb, traditionally smoked over a manure fire to give it a unique taste. Served at Xmas. Darn, missed it. Kjotsupa - meat soup. Almost always lamb meat, with vegetables, oatmeal and rice. It’s hearty and very good. That and a hunk

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might decide that the ball is not in your court, and you’ll be right. However, those who control the ball favor you. As a result, compliments and acknowledgement in some form, such as a pay raise or promotion, become real possibilities. Tonight: With a special person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ve been on cruise control for several days. Others have been impressed by your successes. Don’t be surprised by a request that heads in your direction. Clearly, you are very good at what you do and know how to speak to others. Tonight: Take some time off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your endurance will bring you many accolades. Accept all compliments with grace. Tap into your resourcefulness or romantic nature in order to help a loved one feel more. Don’t judge what you don’t know or have not experienced. Tonight: Enjoy the good life.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will try to reach out to someone over and over, and might not succeed in reaching him or her. Knowing when to let go is instrumental to your success. Decide to indulge yourself for a day. Spend time at home or pursuing a hobby. Tonight: Share news with a dear friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You love indulging others. Someone in your day-to-day environment needs extra caring or perhaps simply a compliment. It takes only a moment to touch base with this person, and it will make all the difference in how he or she feels. Tonight: Do whatever makes you happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Slow down some. You are likely to discover how many people around you have wanted to spend time with you to share some special news. The tone of the day is far different from what you had anticipated. Know that you don’t need to be in control. Tonight: Let the fun begin! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a very good
Tundra
mood, perhaps even more so than you thought possible. A family member won’t hesitate to treat you as you would like and think you deserve to be treated. What could be a simple gracious act will come back to you in multiples. Tonight: In the limelight. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your body language indicates that you are sincere. Remember this, and you’ll get the reaction you want. Others are likely to respond more positively than you could have imagined. Authenticity can’t be replaced, nor can it be disguised. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your penchant for the good life can’t be restrained for long. You often suppress your feelings and go overboard with spending, whether there is a risk involved or not. Recognize the potential damage of this behavior. At least keep the tags and receipts. Tonight: Be calm. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be so gracious, soft-spoken and delightful right now that others won’t be able
to stay away from you. Use the moment to move forward with a heartfelt project. If you have been wanting to ask for a raise, the time to do so is now. Tonight: Out on the town. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be revealing the whole story about a loved one or a potential sweetie. You can’t get powerful feedback if you don’t tell the truth and reveal all the facts. Tell it like it is. The advice you receive will be very dynamic and effective. Tonight: Try out a new spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) An encounter with a new acquaintance could affect you more than you might realize. This person could become even more than friends, as long as you are available. The trust that builds between you is likely to happen quickly. Tonight: Out to dinner with a loved one.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I met my husband many years ago, he had just returned from Vietnam. His mind was shaky, and he was a chain smoker and a serious alcoholic. We have maintained a comfortable, peaceful relationship. I could not tolerate drunkenness, so he stopped. But what seemed left was an unaffectionate, unemotional robot. He has never hugged me, held my hand or actually kissed me (only quickly, during our silent, intimate moments). Compliments? Never. He never bought a ring for me, which not only is embarrassing but also makes me feel as though I have no value to him. He is kind to the children, provides meagerly but adequately, and makes no waves. We simply exist. I settled for this and it would hurt too many nice people for me to go my own way. But my point in writing to you is to save other women: Think before getting involved with a cold, unfeeling person. Counseling is out. We never have a conversation. I truly believe his lifelong chain-smoking has affected his mental and physical health. -- Too Little, Too Late Dear Too Little: We wouldn’t be so quick to blame the chain-smoking. While it has undoubtedly affected his health, it is more likely that his experience in Vietnam (and possibly his upbringing) had a greater impact on his emotional health. Many of those who have served in wars suffer from PTSD and never asked for or received treatment. Your husband could be one of them. We’re not going to give you a lecture on expecting an unaffectionate, robotic man to change once he marries. It’s too late for that. And of course, if you could get your husband to visit a nearby VA to ask about PTSD counseling, that might be tremendously helpful. But you are the one who wrote. We think you deserve better. The fact that leaving him might cause “nice people” to be hurt is not a good enough reason for you to make such a lifelong sacrifice. Get counseling for yourself, and see what choices you have. Dear Annie: I am a hunter, and I understand how important each of the very few days available for deer hunting is to a fellow hunter. “Left Out in the Cold” said her husband misses holidays and Mother’s Day because they interfere with hunting season. She didn’t say how far away her husband travels to hunt. If he is not too far, he could perhaps hunt close to home in the morning and return for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner later in the evening after legal hunting hours. However, if he is unable to compromise and insists on missing holidays, then I suggest that she just go to the relatives without him and enjoy herself without giving him a second thought. I have to say, the only time I could justify having Christmas postponed would be if an important family member were in the service or in the hospital. Sounds to me that “Left Out’s” entire marriage might need some professional intervention. -“Dear” Beats “Deer” Anytime Dear Anytime: Compromise is always possible, but only if both parties are agreeable. When one person is not, the other has the choice of changing one’s situation, accepting what cannot be fixed or being perpetually upset.

A PAGE FROM THE PAST
DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of January 24-30 DAVE HUMPHREY Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives
1907 Eagles entertain ... The F. O. of Eagles held its regular weekly meeting on Wednesday evening in Watt’s hall. There were a large number present. Mr. Chas. Smith was chairman. During the evening Mr. Ross Tate was presented with an elegant suit case by his associates. A lunch was served and dancing indulged in until early morn. Basket ball … Basket-ball is still to the front at the ‘‘Gym”. The teams are improving each night. On Friday last the banks defeated the town in a hard fought game and on Tuesday the “Gym” defeated the fire brigade. Two of the fire brigade were sick and were substituted by others. The game may be played again. Every Tuesday and Friday a game is played. A getaway … The sedate horse that draws the delivery sled of A. L. McDermott ran away on Monday and put the sled out of business for a few days. Nice ice … The ice houses in town have been filled with ice from the reservoir pond, and the ice is of the finest quality that has ever been put up here. It is from thirty to thirty-five inches thick, and all clear ice. Fraternal orders ... That man must have some place where he and his fellows may congregate for recreation and instruction, where toil and business cares may be cast aside for an evening of pleasure and social divertisement take their place, is a recognized fact. The lodge offers one of the best solutions of this question, as is evidenced by the many orders that have sprung up in this country, all of which have in their ritual teachings that have been important factors in the educational and moral development of the people. Poor trapping … This season’s fur catch will probably be the smallest for a number of years. The trappers complain that snow has fallen every night during the season covering the traps to such an extent as to render them useless. Reports from the northern wilds in the early part of the season, before communication was cut off, showed fur bearing animals of all description to be very plentiful and a good season would have resulted with a normal fall of snow, but conditions are now such that fur of all kinds is sure to greatly advance in price during the next few months. Why cough to the coffin? … Try Dr Scott’s Prescription No 99 or, Cold Cure Tablets. They do work and arrest the most stubborn cold. Beattie & Atchison Where It Will Pay You to Deal. Liberals … The Liberal rally held in Wentworth hall on Thursday evening last was undoubtedly attended by the largest number of people ever gathered together at a political meeting in East Kootenay. When chairman J. G. McCallum called the meeting to order every seat in the house was taken and the hall was packed to the very doors with those standing. Dr. J. H. King, the candidate for the Cranbrook riding, was the first speaker, and, if one is to judge from the interest with which he was listened to by all present and the frequent bursts of applause, the impression created was that the district had made no mistake in their selection of the representative three years ago, and that that selection would be confirmed at the coming election by an overwhelming majority. Blaze at moyie … The Farrell block was burned here Saturday, the fire starting about 2.30. The building and furniture belonged to Miss Mamie Farrell, and were valued at $2,500 and $400 respectively. The insurance on the building is $1,200 and that on the furniture $200. The other occupants of the block had no insurance and their losses are as follows: W, H. F. Crosby, entire stock in store, $1,500; W. L, Lucas $600; Harold Chapman, $150; K. D. Stinson, $75. The four persons last mentioned lost clothing, books and other personal effects to the extent given. Gordon Monkhous got his belongings out, but they were badly damaged by water. The fire is said to have
started in the rear of W, H. Crosby’s store. New council … Cranbrook has elected an excellent council, and the affairs of the city will be in safe hands the coming year. The Herald extends congratulations to Mayor Finlay, and Aldermen Fink, McCowan, Ryan, Hickenbotham, Jackson and Gill. Busy, busy, busy … Cranbrook has been crowded with strangers this week, and the beds in the hotels have been working double shifts. Assault … Daniel Macdonald, who slightly stabbed a local hotel man last Saturday night, was given a preliminary hearing before justice of the peace E. A. Hill Wednesday afternoon and was bound over to appear before the county court at Cranbrook. The victim of the affray was not very severely injured, but his assailant’s intention was evidently to kill him. Macdonald is a miner and worked for a short time up on the hill. Grippe … There seems to be quite an epidemic, of la grippe in the town at present, owing probably to the changeable weather we have been having. Among the sufferers from this disagreeable malady is Mr. Lund who has been confined to the house for several days. 1908 Edison Theatre safe … Cranbrook, B.C., Jan. 28th, ’08. Editor Herald: A great many people have been misinformed as to the safety of the Edison theatre. I have personally examined the place and find no reason for any alarm, more than is usually displayed in a public place constructed of wood. I found the moving picture machine in good condition, the films all being encased in metallic boxes and the machine operated by electricity, no gasoline, gas or oils of any kind being used. Yours very truly, J . P. Fink, Chief Fire Dept. The Owls elect officers … The Cranbrook Nest of the Order of Owls held its annual election of officers last week. The following were elected: President—D. McLean. Vice-President—A. D. Workman. Invoker—F . VanDecar. Secretary—C. McDonald. Treasurer—C. Little . Warden—G. E . Foster-Thomas. Sentinel—C. Jamie-
son, Picket—J. F, Deacon. Past President—G. W. F. Carter. What band … The people of Cranbrook have had several opportunities, during the last few years, of having a really good orchestra. The trouble has always been, however, that just as soon as an orchestral organization was started and getting nicely under way, the people in charge of dances and balls would bring in outside institutions or other local aggregations would start up, with the result that there was not enough business for them all, and consequently all failed. There is only one remedy and that is for the management of all of the dancing clubs in Cranbrook to get together and decide upon one orchestra, demand good music, pay for it and then stick to that orchestra. By this means in a very short time Cranbrook would have one of the very best orchestras in the province.

Fire had started from the furnace and had worked up into the walls, making it a difficult condition for the brigade to combat. The water was turned in to the cellar at first while holes were being torn in the walls. It took an hour to get the fire completely out. Practically all the furnishings of the house were removed but the water loss to the building will be quite an item, as the plaster was destroyed in many places. The house was occupied by J. L. Gates, who is at present at the
coast. Get ready … Chinese New Year will be celebrated by the local Chinese colony Saturday and Sunday next. If you should hear a number of firecrackers going off, don’t be alarmed, it’s only to keep the devil away. Watch out … W. H. Wilson, the jeweler, has introduced a new watch movement, one of the best stem winder and stem setters, that he has named the “Banana Belt Special.” As Mr. Wilson never introduces anything that his guarantee will not back up, the public can rest assured that this movement will prove all that is promised. The watch sells for $1.75, and thus it is within the reach of all to secure a cheap as well as a reliable movement. Just business. Drop in to Wilson’s and talk to him about it. Cranbrook curlers at Calgary … The Cranbrook hoys are known as good sports wherever they go and whatever the game may be. Win or lose the same sporting spirit is ever uppermost. The result is that wherever they go the people are always glad to see them. Calgary people know a good thing when they see it. One of the most welcome rinks in this bonspiel is the Pinkham bunch from Cranbrook. They are a good outfit of sportsmen and have travelled far. It is to be sincerely hoped, that their game today, without any reflection on their opponents will result in their taking home to this prince of sportsmanlike towns, Cranbrook, a share of either the Jewelry or the trophy. This is a young rink, Mr. Pinkham being the only curler with experience. This skip, by the way, is a son of Bishop Pinkham and is manager of the Imperial Bank of Canada at Cranbrook. A. L, McDermot, the lead, is too well known to require any introduction as a sportsman; 2nd rock, D. J. MeSweyn; vice-skip. E. H. Patmore. For a really green rink they have done well.

Run, Dinosaur, Run Carnivorous dinos developed long legs to run down prey, study says
C anadian Press
EDMONTON - A University of Alberta study of leg length in meat-eating dinosaurs has found they evolved longer limbs so they could run faster and catch their prey. Doctoral student Scott Persons says he and his supervisor Philip Currie collected measurements from more than 50 different species of predatory dinosaurs ranging in size from smaller than a chicken to longer than a school bus. “How fast a predator can run is obviously important,” said Persons, who led the study as part of his doctoral research. “Speed determines what prey you can catch, how you hunt it, and the sort of environment that you are most successful in.” He said results indicate early dinosaur meat-eaters were generally slower, but evolved to become faster over time. A key example is the Tyrannosaurus rex, which developed legs much longer than ex-

pected. “You can be a big scary thing but if you can’t get close enough to bite onto another animal it’s no good to you. Tyrannosaurus rex was certainly faster than some of the big, bulky herbivores but its number 1 food source was probably the faster animals like duck-billed dinosaurs it needed to be able to catch,” he said. “There is a general trend throughout the evolution of meat-eating dinosaurs favouring high-speed running,” Persons said. “Now maybe that’s because of a predator-prey arms
race. Maybe they’re evolving alongside some plant-eating dinosaurs that are also evolving for high speeds.” Persons said fast-running animals have longer legs from the knee down. The longer the lower leg in comparison to the upper leg, the faster the animal is. The five-metre-long Nanotyrannus leads the pack when it comes to evolution, leaving T. rex in the dust. Persons said Nanotyrannus’ status as a distinct species has been debated for years due its strong resemblance to a juvenile T.
rex, but its uniquely elongated limbs now indicate it was. “In terms of Cretaceous ecology, T. rex was the lion and Nanotyrannus was the cheetah. As far as I’m concerned, it was the scariest dinosaur,” said Persons. “Sure, it might take it four to five bites to eat you, while T. rex could do it in just one or two, but eaten is eaten-and no dinosaur was better adapted to chase you down.” The new research was published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports.
