Smokey and the bandit Rib robbery leaves Kimberley reeling TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Thanks to a little investigative legwork, the Kimberley RCMP were able to smoke out a suspect who had stolen some ribs from the Pedal and Tap earlier last week. The ribs, which were being prepared in a smoker outside the back of the restaurant, were missing after a prep cook went to check on them. According to a Facebook post from Pedal and Tap, the theft was captured on surveillance video, as an unidentified man helped himself to the ribs and
some nearby bottles and cans. “We were gonna let it go because we thought he was probably hungry, but our concerns around staff safety were enough to get the RCMP involved,” read the Facebook post from the restaurant. “They were very responsive and told us they would spend the next little while combing back alleys searching for the suspect.” Cpl. Chris Newel with the Kimberley RCMP, said an officer was dispatched to the restaurant to look into the theft. “The officer went up there and they weren’t too, too concerned…I don’t know how much we’re talking with the ribs—with the price of beef these days, I’d be livid,” he said.

Medieval Fest not suffering festival fatigue C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
In response to a story out of Nelson on festival fatigue that appeared in the Daily Bulletin last week, the organizer of the Kimberley Medieval Festival, Michelle Forbes, says that while there may be some fatigue with longtime festival volunteers, for the new festival, it’s full steam ahead. “Maybe it’s not festival fatigue, but that things are changing,” she said. “Some festivals have been around for a long time but it’s also important to introduce
new festivals, so we can offer more to locals and tourists.” Forbes says that JulyFest, while as successful as ever, is geared more to an adult crowd, which is why there was plenty of room on the festival calendar for a more family oriented festival like the Medieval Fest. “It’s nice to have the diversity,” she said. The Medieval Festival is scheduled for July 8 and 9 this summer and will again feature the Viking group, Sons of FenMARTIN TICHY PHOTO rir and a few other MeNicole Mah of the Tyee Ski Club prepares to launch herself off the start gate in the FIS Slalom Race Monday at KAR. dieval groups.

Medieval Festival ready for year two
From page 1 “We want to expand a little,” Forbes said. “Just a little, we don’t want our volunteers getting festival fatigue. We are hoping to get a group of medieval knights to join us.” She says that after the success of the inaugural festival last summer, vendors are contacting her, wanting to secure a
booth. “We will offer vendors opportunities to either be up at the field (Centennial Park) or in the Platzl,” Forbes said. The Festival is free for everyone, though it does cost a bit to set up. There is a bit of seed money from donations last year. There has also been a Go Fund Me account set up under
Kimberley Medieval Festival. “We will be looking for a few sponsors to help us bring in a few more acts,” she said. “But the beauty of this festival is that it is all outdoors. The Vikings stay in their tents so there is no need to find accommodations. Everything else is in the field and the Platzl.” Forbes says there is also a
new medieval festival in Nakusp, so she is hoping festival goers will put both places into their summer plans. “Medieval festivals are huge,” she said. “People will spend their summers touring them. And as far as I know, the Kimberley Medieval Festival is the only free one anywhere.”
Kootenay Savings profit sharing
Trail, BC - Based on 2015 financial results, the Kootenay Savings Board of Directors has declared a 1.00% patronage and share dividend, which will see $479,425 in profit shares distributed through the credit union’s Member Rewards Program. “That we are once again able to pay a profit sharing dividend, in what continues to be a
challenging economic environment, demonstrates our employees’ commitment to our Member Experience Strategy and shows the loyalty of our membership,” said President and CEO Brent Tremblay.
PROFIT SHARING QUICK FACTS
• Dividends are calculated based on amount of interest
earned on deposits and amount of interest paid on loans. • Member-owners can withdraw up to 20% in cash and invest the remainder in an RRSP to earn an instant tax credit. • Since 1992, over $69.8 million in profit sharing dividends have been paid through the Member Rewards Program. In addition to the
Member Rewards Program, the credit union also distributed $360,000 in donations, sponsorships, grants and youth achievement and education awards in 2015, helping fund numerous community projects, programs and initiatives across the Kootenays. With corporate offices in Trail, Kootenay Savings is a member-owned financial
co-operative with eleven branches throughout the Kootenays, over $1 billion in assets, 39,000 members and over 200 employees.
The BC Legislature will reconvene at the beginning of February and sit through until the end of May. The central part of the Spring Session each year is the introduction and passage of the Provincial budget for the fiscal year that runs from April 2015 until the end of March 2016. The budget will include government spending of more than $44 billion on programs and billions more on infrastructure projects. Government will also expend a lot of time and money talking about the budget, but the actual facts will be found in the fine print of Ministry of Finance documents. The BC Liberals will again claim to have a balanced budget, but that includes the sale of a significant number of Provincial government properties. The Auditor General has stated that using asset sales to bal-

I live in the community, I’m around the community and I’m familiar with the files and I spotted the guy,” said Newel. “Sometimes we’re looking for specific vehicles or somebody who’s wanted or something like that. When you’re in a small town and involved in the community, you can pick those sort of things up.”
ance the budget is not sustainable; we all know that eventually you run out of things to sell. There is also an ongoing use of BC Hydro deferral accounts, a shell game where BC Hydro borrows money and reports it as profit which the government then takes into general revenue. BC Hydro has put $5.4 billion into those deferral accounts, a significant amount that distorts the books. Despite having Debt Free BC on the side of the BC Liberal campaign bus in the last election, provincial debt is growing faster under Premier Christy Clark than under any other Premier in BC’s history.

Slopes for Hope GORD JENKINS For the Bulletin
Slopes for Hope Kimberley 2016 taking place Saturday, March 5th at the Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Kimberley Nordic Club Slopes for Hope Kimberley is a unique mountain born activity for fund raising. It is part of what makes Kimberley a great place to call home and a great place to ski. My name is Gord Jenkins and since the inception of Slopes for Hope I have been proud to participate in the skiing and the fund raising. As one of the top fund raisers, I would like to share some thoughts on the experience and promote this event. It is a very worthy cause and thanks to research and early diagnosis I am a 13 year prostate cancer survivor. My wish is to see many more individuals survive the many types of cancer we see today. I truly believe it all starts with adequately funded research, education and cancer support programs. I have been given a second chance at life and living and I strive to make the most of this amazing opportunity. This year I will be skiing and fund raising for a number of close friends who are dealing with the cancer experience in the hope that they too can have that second
Gord Jenkins chance. You can participate in a couple of ways. It can be as a skier or boarder or as a monetary contributor. More participants are always welcome. You can descend the height of Mount Everest or do a 24 km Nordic Trek as an individual or as part of a team. Come and see for yourself what an amazing opportunity this is to raise funds and give back to our BC and Yukon cancer community. The snow conditions this year are outstanding and I would like to challenge all those who like snowboarding, downhill or Nordic skiing to get together and play in the snow with us for this cause. If you are not up to playing in the snow just make a donation! To register or to donate please see the website Slopes for Hope Kimberley 2016.

Kootenay Kirk has spoken. In the Kootenays, there is often a dilemma on Groundhog’s Day. Which prediction do we listen to? Balzac Billy in the Prairies? Wiarton Willy out in Ontario? This dilemma has now been solved. This year, the Kimberley City Bakery has brought Kootenay Kirk to Kimberley, and yesterday morning, at 9, Eric and Izzy Forbes brought the little groundhog out to see if he could see his shadow. With the sun shining, and the clouds finally taking a hiatus, his shadow would have been hard to miss. The verdict? According to Kootenay Kirk, there are six more weeks of winter ahead, so keep your shovels out folks! It looks like it’s still parka weather for a little bit longer!

MLA From Page 3 It took 140 years for British Columbia to accrue a $30 billion debt, but since the BC Liberals have taken over that debt has grown to $165 billion, including contractual obligations. And that debt is expected to grow under this upcoming budget. We can also expect BC Hydro rates to continue to increase. Medical services plan premiums will go up. And ICBC rates are rising. But even with these escalating costs for British Columbians, we will see even further reductions in key health and education services. But not everyone is losing out under the BC Liberals. Premier Clark will continue to cut taxes for the richest 2% with a giveaway of $235 million. Imagine what that money could do if it was used to provide British Columbians with the services they need. For example, I will be looking to see if there is any significant funding for the four laning and dividing of the Trans Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. norm.macdonald. mla@leg.bc.ca | 1 866 870 4188

Refugee fundraiser draws big crowd What’s Up? For the Townsman
Close to 150 people attended the Prestige Hotel grand ball room Saturday night for the first public fundraiser held by the Cranbrook Hub for Refugees (CHR) and they danced the night away while raising more than $3,000 for the cause. The final total raised is likely to be closer to $5,000 once all the ticket receipts are counted and expenses deducted, said Verna Oderkirk-Bungay, the main organizer of the event. “Cranbrook is the most generous town I’ve ever lived in and I’ve lived in towns all across the country,” she said. The event to bring a refugee family to Cranbrook was organized in less than three weeks but still came together perfectly. “It was a little nerve-wracking getting organized, but now that it’s over I’m walking on clouds,” Oderkirk-Bungay said. The Cranbrook business
community contributed generously to the silent auction, lots of volunteers helped with the setup and the Prestige staff did everything they could to make the night a success. The music by East-West Connection, Sheva and Dave Prinn offered something for everybody to make it very enjoyable night, she said. Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski and his wife Audrey attended the function and Stetski congratulated the crowd for coming out on a busy night to support the cause. “ It was great to be a part of this important event that raised money to bring Syrian refugees to Cranbrook. My sincere thanks to the many caring citizens of Cranbrook and other communities around the Kootenay-Columbia riding who are working so hard to create a better life for those who have been living in tragic circumstances.”
Stetski said almost 14,000 refugees are in Canada now and 25,000 expected by the end of February. “This is creating housing concerns in cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa and the government is now asking private sponsors to consider taking on responsibility for government sponsored refugees.” Prior to the event, CHR had already raised more than $20,000 to bring a refugee family to the Key City. CHR co-chair Gerry Warner says reports are circulating that bottlenecks have formed in major Cities such as Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver where refugees are arriving first. “This could mean that we get a refugee family sooner rather than later as we originally thought. A few weeks ago it seemed likely that we wouldn’t get our family until as late as May but now this appears to be
changing,” he said. But regardless of when the refugees arrive, CHR has organized several settlement teams that are busy preparing for their arrival, said Bonnie Spence-Vinge, the other CHR cochair. “We have been holding meetings weekly and the settlement teams have been active throughout the community lining up people and resources to look after the refugees’ needs such as housing, furniture, clothing, schooling, ESL and employment training,” she said. “In the meantime I want to congratulate the citizens of Cranbrook, service groups and the business community for providing us with so much support, Spence-Vinge said. CHR meetings take place 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Christ Church Anglican Hall with the next one scheduled for Feb. 10. The public is welcome.
Farewell to the Schengen Treaty
“E
urope has forgotten that history is fundamentally tragic,” said Manuel Valls, the French prime
minister. “If Europe can’t protect its own borders, it’s the very idea of Europe that could be thrown into doubt. It could disappear — not Europe itself, not our values, but the European project, the concept we have of Europe, that the founding fathers had of Europe.” The European Union — 28 countries and 500 million people — is not really going to disappear just because it cannot agree on how to deal with one or two millon refugees. But one of the great symbols of its unity, the Schengen Treaty that allowed its citizens to move around without passports or border checks, is being suspended, perhaps forever. It is a remarkable achievement. You could get into your car in Portugal and drive all the way to Finland via Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia without ever once having to show a passport or identity card. There would not even be anybody in uniform standing at the frontier to wave you past, just a sign by the side of the road saying “Welcome to (Country X)”. Or rather, that was the situation until last month, when Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Austria re-imposed passport checks at their borders, ports and airports even for travellers arriving from other Schengen Zone countries. France acted even earlier, declaring emergency controls on its borders after the terrorist massacre in Paris in November. So now fully half of the EU’s citizens (counting the UK and Ireland) live behind real borders again. The new border controls are alleged to
be temporary measures, which the Schengen Treaty permits for a maximum of six months in the face of some unspecified emergency. But the refugee emergency is not going to fade away by next July, and the threat of terrorism will persist for the foreseeable future. That’s why the European Commission is now examining how the legal framework of Schengen can be fiddled to allow a further two years of controls on the EU’s internal borders. Nobody doubts that they will find a way to do that — but a great many people doubt that the passport-free zone, once suspended for that long, will Gwynne ever come back. This is happening not Dyer because Germans fear French travellers or Swedes fear Danes. It’s happening because none of them believe that the EXTERNAL borders of the Schengen Zone are properly controlled. Even in freeezing January weather 35,000 refugees entered the EU last month, and it looks set to be another million-refugee year. And two of the men who carried out the Paris attacks crossed from Turkey to Greece (a Schengen member) as refugees. You can’t call that a secure external frontier The three countries that took in 90 percent of last year’s refugees, Germany, Austria and Sweden, have all blamed Greece for letting so many refugees in and failing to document them properly. “Greece has one of the biggest navies in Europe,” said the Austrian interior minister, Johana Mikl-Leitner. “It’s a myth that the Greek-Turkish border cannot be protected.” The Greeks quite reasonably ask what their big navy is supposed to do. Sink the
refugee boats? As for the failure to register all the refugees properly, they point out that at peak flow last autumn more than ten thousand were arriving each day. They didn’t have enough officials and equipment to cope with such numbers: forty fingerprint machines running non-stop around the clock can only deal with about 4,000 people a day. There is even talk of suspending Greece from the Schengen Treaty for two years, but a better solution would be to give it the people and resources needed to document everybody who comes in — and to turn back those who have no right to come in. It’s not just a question of screening out possible terrorists, although that must be done better if confidence in Schengen is to be restored. In practice, Greece (or EU officials operating in Greece) would also have to decide AT THE BORDER who is really a genuine refugee they are obliged to admit, and who should be returned immediately to Turkey. The brutal truth is that most of the people crossing from Turkey into Greece, including the Syrians and Afghans who come from war-torn countries, are “asylum-shoppers”. They were already safe in Turkey, which is sheltering almost 2 million Syrian refugees and spending billions of dollars a year on them. But life in the camps in Turkey is hard, so they are moving on to seek asylum in richer countries with better facilities. There is no obligation for Europe to take them all, and the Schengen Treaty will die if it does. But the European Union itself will soldier on without it, at least until and unless the euro currency collapses when the next recession hits. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religions, and our Constitution. Are you? That is the question. On the Democratic side, it appears that Hilary Clinton barely held on against the fiery Socialist Bernie Sanders. That’s how I’ve seen Sanders described several times — fiery socialist. In Canada you’d call him NDP. Which of course has a long history of fiery socialists like Ed Broadbent, Stephen Lewis and Audrey McLaughlin. Well, okay. Not so fiery. Jack Layton was a little fiery, and Thomas Mulcair started fiery and the fire went out. In any event, in the U. S. of A. socialists are fiery, which may be a code word for unhinged. But back to Clinton. Once a sure thing, she is looking shaky to say the least. The constant battering from her email scandal, just the sheer length of her time in public life has left her defending positions she may not have any more, or may wish that she didn’t have to defend. She’s wounded and her campaign needs to figure it out pronto. And now that I have pontificated on the Iowa Caucuses for 650 words, here’s how meaningful they are: Ronald Reagan lost Iowa in 1980. Bill Clinton lost the caucuses in 1992 and George H.W. Bush lost them in 1988. Those names sound familiar? Also Rick Santorum (who?) won Iowa in 2012 and Mike Huckebee in 2008. So yeah, Iowa, first but not often right. Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Ice collapse in third period as Oil Kings storm to victory Kootenay Ice surrender five goals, third period lead as Edmonton Oil Kings bury hosts in WHL action Tuesday
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
They say a picture paints a thousand words, but Tuesday night at Western Financial Place the picture wasn’t pretty and there was only one word needed to describe what took place. Unimaginable. The Kootenay Ice carried a 3-1 lead into the third period before giving up five goals over the final 20 minutes of play, including four goals in a span of 2:34, to gift wrap a 6-3 victory for the Edmonton Oil Kings. “This is the lowest I’ve felt all year,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Tuesday evening. “After being really enthused about our efforts, we were really calm in between periods, talked about all the right things. To see that happen, it still hasn’t even really sunk in that that just happened. “There is no explanation, there are no words, it’s inconceivable.” Trailing 3-1 heading into the final period of regulation, the Oil Kings took advantage of an illtimed cross-checking penalty by Kootenay Ice import Roman Dymacek and the snowball started rolling downhill. Oil Kings captain Brandon Baddock banged home a power-play rebound 3:13 into the third period, making Dymacek and the Ice pay for what coach Pierce deemed a “selfish and stupid penalty.” Still, the home team held a 3-2 lead and remained in control of its fate with a chance to stop
the growing snowball. Then over a span of 2:34 midway through the final period, what started as a little snowball somehow exploded into an absolute avalanche. First, Oil Kings centre Lane Bauer capitalized on a horrific turnover inside the Ice blue line to tie the game 3-3 at 9:51. Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky was sent to the sin bin for tripping only 36 seconds later to make matters worse. Only 36 seconds after Lishchynsky sat down, Tyler Robertson found iron and then twine to convert on the power play and give the Oil Kings a 4-3 lead. Oh, we aren’t done just yet. Back at even strength, it only took the Oil Kings another 1:10 to build a 5-3 advantage as defenceman Ben Carroll put his second of the season past Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs, who finished the night with 25 stops. Finally, Oil Kings right winger Jesse Roach buried the Kootenay Ice and it came a mere 12 seconds after Carroll’s tally. Unimaginable. “Lost in it all with how bad we were, give that team over there some credit, too,” Pierce said of the Oil Kings. “They’re obviously playing for a reason and the points are extremely valuable to them. They fought like dogs in that third period and showed us what desperation looks like.” There was plenty lost in the chaos of Tuesday’s unimaginable collapse by the Kootenay Ice, but what didn’t go
undetected was a 19save victory from Cranbrook native Payton Lee. While not necessarily spectacular, the 19-yearold goaltender did what was required to backstop his club to a third consecutive win, claiming possession of the top wild-card position in the WHL’s Eastern Conference in the process. “It feels nice, especially in front of the friends and family,” Lee said following Tuesday’s outing. “It’s nice when you can get a win in front of them. “We said in the room between periods we had nothing to lose. We just went out there and tried to push and ended up winning. That’s always positive.” While the final 20 minutes, and ultimately the two points, belonged to Lee and the Oil Kings, the Ice controlled the bulk of the play through the first two periods. The ‘A-to-Z Line’ featuring centre Matt Alfaro with wingers Zak Zborosky and Jesse Zaharichuk was in fine form early on and arguably one of few bright spots for the home team by the time the buzzer mercifully sounded at the end of the night. After Oil Kings right winger Colton Kehler scored the visitors a 1-0 lead in the first period, Alfaro executed admirable solo effort to win a puck battle inside his own blueline, beat two Oil Kings defencemen and go in alone on Lee to tie the game 1-1. Still not impressed? Alfaro’s career-high 15th goal of the campaign

Cranbrook native and Edmonton Oil Kings goaltender Payton Lee peers past a screen from Kootenay Ice forward River Beattie Tuesday night. Lee and the Oil Kings pushed through with a five-goal third period to claim a 6-3 victory over the Kootenay Ice in WHL action at Western Financial Place. came as he worked to kill off a 5-on-3 Edmonton Oil Kings man advantage. In the second period, Alfaro’s linemates, Zborosky and Zaharichuk, worked their magic to put the home team in front. Only 27 seconds into the middle period, Zaharichuk jumped on a rebound for a 2-1 advantage. Moments later, the slippery 5-foot-8 winger took a gorgeous pass from Zborosky on a 2-on-1, calmly chipping it past Lee for a 3-1 lead. If the game had ended after 40 minutes, Pierce, his players and many of the 1,811 in attendance could have headed home happy. “Our third period, we let it slip with some bad turnovers and some miscommunications,” Zaharichuk said. “We
McDavid spectacular in return as Oilers beat Blue Jackets Shane Jones Canadian Press
EDMONTON - Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists in his return to the lineup as the Edmonton Oilers snapped a three-game losing skid with a 5-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Benoit Pouliot, Eric Gryba, Leon Draisaitl and Jordan Eberle also
scored for the Oilers (20-26-5),who saw 2015 first-overall draft pick McDavid back in uniform after missing the last 37 games with a broken clavicle. Matt Calvert replied for the Blue Jackets (1928-5), who saw a twogame winning streak come to an end. Despite Edmonton outshooting Columbus
13-1 in the early going, the Blue Jackets managed to get on the board first when Scott Hartnell fed it to Calvert on a two-on-one break and he bounced a shot off of Oilers goalie Came Talbot and in. Edmonton tied it up three minutes into the second period as Gryba directed a hopeful shot on net that eluded Jack-
ets goalie Joonas Korpisalo for his first goal of the season. McDavid showed just what Edmonton fans had been missing midway through the second as he scored an unbelievable highlight-reel goal, dancing through a pair of defenders before undressing Korpisalo for his sixth goal of the season.
can’t let that happen. We’ve got to learn how to put games away when we have a lead going into the third. “You don’t want to get down on one another. You try to stick together as a team even though you’re going through some tough times.” Tuesday’s outcome marks the ninth consecutive loss for the Ice. Over the stretch, Kootenay has only managed to collect a single point courtesy a 7-6 overtime defeat at the hands of the Spokane Chiefs Jan. 22. A nine-game losing
skid might be considered unimaginable if not for the fact the Ice previously trudged through an unimaginable 16game swamp from Nov. 25 through Jan. 2. Making matters worse, next on slate for the Kootenay Ice are the top two teams in the WHL’s Central Division. The second-place Red Deer Rebels, who thumped Kootenay 8-2 this past Friday, visit Western Financial Place this coming Friday. After that, the division-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes come to
town Saturday. Notes: Other details lost in Tuesday’s WHL contest in Cranbrook include Ice RW Zak Zborosky registering his 100th career WHL point and Ice RW Vince Loschiavo playing his 100th career WHL game…

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Others depend on you to see the big picture. As a result, your feedback is far more important than you realize. At first, you might find this process to be confusing and challenging. Understand that people respect your ideas, and don’t hold back. Tonight: Midweek break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with a loved one directly. You both have good ideas; respect the differences in your opinions. A partner or associate can be exceptionally negative and closed down. By now, you’re used to this attitude, so just work with it. Tonight: Reach out to a friend at a distance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Let others make choices without causing too much interference. This change in attitude will take work and self-discipline. Make it OK to work through a problem and not get too involved in it. Allow someone else to own his or her issues. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are determined to get past a problem. How you see a situation could be radically different from how your associates see it. As a result, the solutions that are offered will be different. Don’t let your determination isolate you from others. Tonight: Call it a night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your imagination can’t be shut off right now. Thank goodness! You often express a frisky and playful attitude, and today is no different. A loved one is earnest about involving you in his or her dilemma. Don’t make light of this. Tonight: Act as if it’s the weekend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Stay centered, and proceed with care. You might not have the wherewithal to proceed as you might like. A family member or a domestic issue seems quite serious. Do not put energy on the negative, but on the positive. You will see a solution quite quickly. Tonight: Head home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You smile, and others respond.
Tundra
The problem seems to be that others are very serious and hard to communicate with. You might want to rethink your approach. Be aware that you have your limitations, and proceed accordingly. A partner will surprise you. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Finances demand your attention. You could be in a position of having to say no to someone. Understand that you’re not made of money. You might need to cut back if you have been a spendthrift of sorts. An unusual expenditure option might appear. Tonight: Assess your budget. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Fiery energy mixed with determination could make you the winning player in a certain situation. Knowing what you want, having ideas and not being stopped by problems will allow you to create what you desire. Your commitment comes through. Tonight: Make choices for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19) Everyone has a bad day or two. The way you handle these pe-
riods will determine others’ attitudes and their willingness to work with you. You might need some time off from work right now. You will see your energy renew itself and take you in a new direction. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friendship is more important to you than you might choose to share with the other party. Why are you feeling this way? Why are you projecting this attitude? Sometimes letting others know how much you care is important. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others sense a change in your attitude. You seem to have no desire to deal with people or listen to their diatribes. A little sensitivity can go a long way. You’ll need to work with certain individuals, even if you would prefer not to. Tonight: Know when you’re too tired to continue. BORN TODAY Lawyer Amal Clooney (1978), actress Kelly Sullivan (1978), painter Norman Rockwell (1894) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I know I have my faults, but I can’t figure out why my wife suddenly hates me. She has said so. We have been married for 25 years and it’s like a light switch flicked. At first, I didn’t quite get it and didn’t respond well (arguing and shouting at her). But when the cold shoulder turned icier and she began distancing herself, I figured the appropriate response was to load up on the patience and understanding. But the crazy thing is, the nicer I am, the angrier she gets. She has even said that she never loved me. That can’t be true. I remember that we would hug and kiss daily and hold hands all the time. We have shared many laughs and many travels, and sex was regularly fulfilling for us both. I thought we were happy. The only thing I can think of is that our kids are now in college and I think my wife is struggling with being an empty nester. She was a stay-at-home mom and school volunteer, so this is a major adjustment. But my wife refuses to consider this possibility. She brings up arguments we had 10 years ago. I can’t get her to recall the good times. She is fixated on how “horrible” I am and thinks marriages are supposed to be minute-by-minute bliss. She won’t go to counseling together. She won’t even go to church with me or out to dinner. She has been working out a lot and has changed most of her eating habits, following whatever is the latest fad. I’m pretty certain there is no other person involved, and I’m definitely not cheating on her. Do you have any advice? -- I’d Like My Wife Back Please Dear Like: There are a few possibilities here. Your wife could have met someone she wants to impress, someone who makes her feel young and desirable, while your marriage has gone a little stale. If so, kicking up the romance could help. Or now that the kids are out of the house, she could have realized that you have little in common. (She may have felt like this for years, but waited until the kids were gone.) Another likely culprit is menopause. Some women go through major emotional upheaval along with the hormonal changes. Tell your wife you love her and are worried about her health, and suggest she see her doctor. But you cannot force her to be more willing to work on this, so please get counseling for yourself and find the best way to cope with your current situation. Dear Annie: Here is another gift for older parents: A phone call or a visit at regular intervals. I regret that I didn’t phone my parents more often, and when I visited, there didn’t seem to be a lot to talk about. But I realized that just being there was meaningful. Sometimes I took my needlework, and always asked whether there was anything I could do to be helpful. That included some mending, picking up hearing aid batteries, driving their rarely used car, and buying three pairs of slippers for a parent who was unable to go to the store, and returning the pairs that didn’t fit. These are good memories. -- Pat Dear Pat: For most parents, there is no better gift than their children’s time. Thank you for saying so.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

There were cheers and applause Saturday afternoon as the new Elko Fire Service was officially launched. “As a person who spent over 20 years as a firefighter, I personally know the value of this new service to the community and the incredible dedication of the men and women who have signed on as firefighters,” says RDEK Electoral Area B Director Stan Doehle. “From Shayne Webster and the community champions who first approached the RDEK several years ago about establishing a fire service, to RDEK Staff, former Area B Director Heath Slee and others, it has taken many hands and hundreds of hours to
bring the Elko Fire Service from a vision of the community to a reality.” On hand for the ribbon cutting were several of the new Elko firefighters who have been training for months. “We owe our sincere thanks to the members of our Elko Fire Department. They have dedicated time and energy to training and have offered to share their skills and service with their community. Without this tremendous, dedicated crew, we would not have a fire service,” adds Doehle. Elk Valley and South Country Rural Fire & Rescue Service Fire Chief Dave Boreen says the project team has been working on Elko Fire since 2011. “We overcame several hurdles and we
found more efficient ways to bring this very important service to the residents of Elko,” says Boreen. “The final approvals for this service came in April of 2015 and since then, we have purchased the necessary equipment to operate the fire department, renovated the school basement to house our administration and training room, and most importantly, we’ve trained local residents to become firefighters. These firefighters are the backbone of this department.” Boreen also acknowledged Canfor for its continued support and the donation of lumber to construct the fire hall, and BC Hydro for the grant that was used to purchase firefighting equipment.
Unstable snowpack can put workers at risk Tow n s m a n S ta ff
Workers whose jobs take them into B.C.’s backcountry are at potential risk of serious injury or death in avalanche hazard zones and need to be diligent about understanding how those risks can be identified and mitigated. In particular, workers in B.C.’s primary resource and construction industries face risks at their worksites, on forest service roads, during work-related snowmobile activity and during highway maintenance. Since 1998 in B.C., avalanches have caused three worker deaths and 47 accepted timeloss injury claims. Twelve of the time-loss injury claims occurred in the Kootenay region. This is the second most of any region in BC. While the majority of workers injured were in occupations within the ski hill and winter
lodge industries, a land surveyor and a truck driver were also injured. WorkSafeBC forest industry specialist Carole Savage, an Active Member of the Canadian Avalanche Association, says workers and employers often do not realize the risk. “Early in my forestry career, it was common practice to zip back and forth across snow covered cut blocks without thinking about avalanches,” she says. “We were aware of a number of near misses. I’ve learned a great deal since then. “Today, as a WorkSafeBC Industry Specialist it’s my job to increase avalanche safety awareness for foresters and their employees.” According to Savage, snow stability can change daily but also by the hour or even by the minute and avalanches can occur anywhere there is steep-
enough terrain with sufficient snow depth and the right weather conditions. “A safety plan needn’t be complicated,” Savage says. “Sometimes the best plan is to avoid areas of high risk entirely until the end of the avalanche season, and the risk diminishes.” WorkSafeBC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 4.1.1 requires all employers whose workers travel through, work around, or within a potential avalanche hazard zone to have a qualified person conduct a risk assessment, develop and implement avalanche safety plans; or, if applicable, meet the requirements of Regulation 4.1.2 to provide and train workers in safe work procedures. Employers can work with their local WorkSafeBC Prevention Officer to determine the appropriate compliance measures.
