Manslaughter sentence to be handed down in March TRE VOR CR AWLEY
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has reserved his decision to sentence a Brazilian national for her role in the death of a Marysville man in 2013. Claudia De Assumpcao was in court on Tuesday, Feb. 2, for a sentencing hearing, where Defence and Crown counsel presented their submissions to Mr. Justice Ter-
ence Schultes. De Assumpcao has been in custody since March 2013, after she was arrested by Kimberley RCMP and charged with murder following the death of Jordan Lomsnes. Lomsnes died from smoke inhalation in his Marysville home after a fire was deliberately set outside his bedroom by De Assumpcao.

If you’ve ever been looking to immerse yourself in another language or culture without leaving Cranbrook, it can be tough to find that diversity locally. However, with the popularity of the College of the Rockies as a post-secondary institution for international students, staff is organizing a monthly meet up where students can interact with Cranbrook locals to work on their own language skills and pass
on knowledge of their native tongues and culture to others. “It’s really great, because it’s really hard to go to another country without any experience in another language, there’s that sort of shock you get when you hear a native speaker ask you a question,” said Cindy Leibel, who is organizing the effort. “So this really helps people prepare for travelling abroad.

Citizen Science at work in Cranbrook C Barry Coulter
ranbrook is located in the heart of a lush part of the planet, teeming with an astounding variety of flora, fauna and geography that many of us, perhaps, take for granted. Cranbrook’s interest in the natural world around it is on the increase. And for more than 30 years, a key community organization has served as our go-to interpreter of this world. While many regional nature clubs have faded away, the Rocky Mountain Naturalists are thriving, with 20 new members in the last year alone. This is largely because community is a big part of their mission. “We want to embrace the community, and the community is responding,” said Greg Ross, a club director. The Rocky Mountain Naturalists are about learning about nature, being out in nature, and sharing that knowledge with others. The group is about sharpening and enjoying their powers of observation, and helping others to sharpen those powers. One thing about this is that only a little experience can lead to immediate knowledge, but that storage of knowledge can be infinite. “We set out 20 years ago to learn about the trees in this area, for example,” Ross said. “And we’re still learning.” To further its goals, the club participates in a number of outdoor activities — viewing and studying birds, plants, mammals, insects, fossils, geology, and other aspects of our natural world. When it comes to new
The Rocky Mountain Naturalists are a gateway to the natural world around us
members versus old members, the knowledge flows both ways. “We ask new people, when they come out, to help teach the older members by asking questions,” Ross said. “When new members come out, we want them to know that asking questions (that some times may seem silly) helps everyone, including the older members to learn. “On a recent hike, for example, we asked a new couple to do a short presentation on the four main differences between hares and rabbits.” Later on, another member gave a short, fascinating talk regarding some of the local weasels and their folklore. “It’s citizen science,” said member Daryl Calder. The formation of the Rocky Mountain Naturalists occurred around the same time as the creation of Elizabeth Lake — a wetland on the edge of Cranbrook — as a wildlife sanctuary. Calder says the lake and adjacent area is perfectly situated for its purpose. It is on a main, north-south branch of the Pacific Flyway — a major migratory path — offering birds a fine spot to touch down, rest, feed and perhaps find a mate and stay awhile to raise their young. But, Calder says, at one time the fate of the wetland was in doubt. The City of Cranbrook was considering draining and filling it in for development. It was used as a dumping ground, and motorized recreationalists were having their way with it. But over the past 30
years, it has become the noted regional wildlife sanctuary it is now, with various stakeholders taking part in its interests, including the City of Cranbrook, the RDEK, Ducks Unlimited, and The Land Conservancy. The Rocky Mountain Naturalists themselves are key stewards of Elizabeth Lake, involved in trail building and maintenance, signage, monitoring and maintaining the nest sites for the endangered western painted turtles, monitoring bird populations, and creating and maintaining nesting boxes and bird blinds. Generally speaking the busiest, most rewarding times for local nature observers occur on the cusps — times of change between the seasons, for example, or on the boundaries between biogeoclimatic zones, of which there are an immense variety in southeastern B.C. The Fort Steele area, for example, differs from Cranbrook and Kimberley because of lower elevation, enhanced rain shadow effect (drier and sunnier), more extensive grasslands, and because of the Kootenay and St Mary rivers. The differences between the West Kootenay and East Kootenay zones can be quite profound. “That’s when, and where, activity really picks up,” Ross said. All these factors make the RMN a four-season club. Notable in this regard is the Club’s annual Christmas Bird Count, part of the continent-wide Audubon Christmas Bird Count (in this country, run under the auspices of Bird Studies Canada). This count, which is also
conducted in Creston, Kimberley, Invermere and Fernie, covers an area 25 kilometres in diameter, centred at the Visitors’ Information Centre at Elizabeth Lake. The count, Calder explains, helps to fine-tune the inventory of bird populations, keep track of migratory patterns — who migrates, who does not, who actually migrates from the north to spend the winter here. “(The bird count) is also an opportunity for people who are interested
in nature to meet and take part,” Calder said. Throughout the year, the club hosts walks to view and identify birds, conducts early morning birding surveys at Elizabeth lake, conducts breeding bird surveys and owl surveys for Bird Studies Canada. But the birds are only a portion of the club’s activities. The Naturalists conduct trips to view and identify wildflowers in different seasons and specific types of shrubs,
fungi, lichens. They locate and identify the largest trees of each species with conservation aims. They conduct fossil and animal track excursions (the latter is a winter activity), build bat boxes and bluebird boxes, and are looking to get to into astronomical activities, with night sky identification. The Rocky Mountain Naturalists hold bi-monthly meetings, which often include guest speakers. As well their scheduled outings in the
backcountry, they club also holds an annual family-friendly camp — this year set for Blue Lake. As well, the club is under the umbrella of BC Nature, a naturalist group which is active in the fields of conservation, education, and outdoor recreation. Membership in the RMN gives access to all the activities and resources of the province-wide club.

PERSONAL FLUSHABLE WIPES – A SEWER SYSTEM NO-NO. They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs. Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled flushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator. Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. People expect to flush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants. If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t flush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.

Local NEWS Cranbrook City Council
RCMP report fourth quarter crime stats Tre vor Crawley
Cranbrook RCMP are making a dent into drug trafficking locally, as there was a 26 per cent drop in trafficking files the fourth quarter crime report between 2014 and 2015. Presented by the newly-promoted Sgt. Barry Graham at Cranbrook city council on Monday evening, Graham credited the work on the drug files to the Crime Reduction Unit. “When we talk about quantity of drugs and the quality of drug investigations, our crime reduction unit is picking up speed and instead of the front-line dial-adope small seizures which account for statistical numbers, the quantity of the files are taking in the quality of drugs and we’re getting up the chain of criminal organizations,” he said. “So the drug files are improving but the actual quantity of the numbers are down.” Impaired driving investigations are are up by 38 per cent, however,
the roadside prohibitions are down 34 per cent from 79 to 52. Graham also added that the tougher drinking and driving laws passed in 2010 gives RCMP more tools to get impaired drivers off the road, after query from Councillor Tom Shypitka. “The immediate roadside prohibition is a great tool for us to take these drivers off the road immediately,” Graham said. “It comes with a number of different sanctions, whether it’s the impound fees, the reinstatement of the license, the costs of the overall fines, so it does help. “Our visibility also deters people from driving [impaired] as well. We find, even going through the high schools now, there’s a lot more education as to the effects of it.” In terms of Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVAs), there have been no fatalities within Cranbrook this year, and MVAs are down 12 per
cent, while alcohol-involved MVAs are down 21 per cent Overall, in terms of calls for service, the RCMP received 1,491 within municipal boundaries in 2014, as opposed to 1,504 in 2015. In the rural areas, police responded to 454 calls for service in 2015, as opposed to 435 in 2014. “Overall, that factors in a two per cent drop in calls for service,” Graham said. “We did see an increase in our prisoners held, which went up 10 per cent throughout the year, which is explained by an increase in sentencing recently. We’ve had a lot of weekenders sentenced to our detachment and it’s upped the count. “Though our numbers haven’t changed dramatically between 2014 and 2015, we have seen a 28 per cent increase in charges between both years, and that reflected there in our prisoner count.” Person offences—assaults, sex assaults, as-
Manslaughter sentence to be handed down in March Continued from page 1 De Assumpcao has since pleaded guilty to manslaughter, with Crown counsel asking for 10 years, while defence counsel is asking for her release based on four years and four and a half months of credit for time served. De Assumpcao will be sentenced on Thursday, March 10, in Cranbrook Supreme Court. Both Crown and defence counsels referenced case law during their submissions in determining a sentencing length, while De Assumpcao also addressed the court, speaking through an interpreter. “I caused so much pain, so much suffering for this family that received me so well,” De Assumpcao said. “I loved Jordan.” “My punishment — it’s not being in jail. My punishment is remembering him everyday, that he is no longer here because of me and this guilt I will carry as long as I live.”
Thursday, FEBRuary 4, 2016 Page 5
While in her home country of Brazil, De Assumpcao met Lomsnes online before coming to Marysville in February, 2012. They were in a tumultuous relationship, which deteriorated over the following year. On March 7, 2013, after drinking alcohol with a friend in a small building beside his home, Lomsnes and De Assumpcao had an argument before he went to bed alone. At some point following the argument, De Assumpcao poured gasoline on the floor outside the bedroom and ignited the fire. She fled the house and spent the night on the property in a small building by
the residence and a travel trailer, before eventually going to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook the next day. After a conversation with a hospital employee, the RCMP were contacted and De Assumpcao was subsequently arrested. At the sentencing hearing, defence counsel argued that De Assumpcao set the fire as a way of acting out against Lomsnes by damaging his property. Crown counsel argued that her intention was bodily harm, and that if she wanted to lash out, she could’ve damaged other items, such as his sports car or ATV.
saults with a weapon, robbery, threats, criminal harassment—overall, there was a nine per cent change through the fourth quarter in 2014 to 2015, with a year-end overall 15 per cent increase. Property-oriented offences—break, enter and theft, mischief of property, thefts, thefts from vehicles—were up seven per cent, however, there was a dramatic 56 per cent decrease in break and enters. Other criminal code offences—causing a disturbance, breach of bail violations, firearms, offences, public mischief, obstructing a police officer and counterfeit currency, were down six per cent, year-end, up eight per cent. In terms of traffic violations, 715 tickets were
given out in 2015. Graham also noted that the RCMP is always on the lookout for distracted driving, after a question from Councillor Ron Popoff. Graham recalled the first ticket he ever wrote out on the offence. “I know for myself, the first ticket I wrote on it was when I saw a lady in the lane next to me texting and I’m in a marked police car,” Graham said. “I followed her the entire way down Cranbrook St. with my lights on and eventually sirens before she responded. “It definitely is a problem, everybody here’s probably seen it countless times during the day and we’re always looking for it and always aware of it.”
Woman gets two years for driving through window C AROLYN GR ANT
A woman who crashed her car into a house on Archibald Street in June of 2014 has been sentenced to two years. Stacey Lundin, who was 19 at the time, crashed through the window of the house in the early hours of the morning of June 16. Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said at the time that the driver failed to negotiate the corner on Archibald and crashed through the window causing extensive damage to the house. The occupants of the home were not seriously injured. An impaired driving investigation was initiated and the woman provided two breath samples of 130 mgs of alcohol in 100 ml blood.

“Beards is all right for awficers but too much bovver for the likes of me.” Uncle Charlie, able seaman, Royal Navy.
W
hen my teachers first told me how Sir Francis Drake – the one with the trousers that looked like my mother’s underwear – had sunk half the Spanish Fleet and thus ‘singed the King of Spain’s beard’, the tale got me quite excited. And then, when I learned all about the pirate Blackbeard, he who draped his magnificent beard with explosives, I became ecstatic; I became determined to grow a mighty beard myself. However, as I was only twelve at the time, it was a bit of a problem. I later discovered that there is a considerable difference between growing whiskers and cultivating a beard. Growing whiskers for most men is merely being indolent. They just neglect to shave. Cultivating a beard, however, can be a pain worse than owning a small dog. A man has to fuss over it, groom it, oil it, train it, fiddle incessantly with it, comb it and trim it and even take it for walks. Most of the men that I know either can’t be bothered with the business nor afford the costs of a barber.
However, I do see professional sportsmen sprouting beards these days, maybe to make them look more masculine. These guys do have the time and the money to waste on such idle activities and so there are some strange hirsute fellows out there, some sporting whispy little things like dead mice, some hugely barbarous, some all neatly tailored like Erroll Flynn’s was when he played Robin Hood, who, incidentally, would have sported a massive beard, living as he did in Sherwood Forest, that was not noted for barbers. I still have a friend who was wearing a tatty beard when we first met over fifty years ago and, according to a recent ‘selfie’, still sports a white version that clings frantically to his chin. I think he Peter was born with it. His late Warland wife, who apparently gave up the idea of a clean shaven, respectable hubby some years ago, once told me that she had almost lost him when he was swimming in a harbour near his home in New Zealand. Some zealous native fisherman spotted him in the water and assumed that he was a bearded seal, and dug out his harpoon. When, in the staff-room of the school where I was purported to have taught, a female member of staff accused a male member who had started a beard of looking like an arm-pit and he, quick witted, asked if she meant that her arm-pits
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
looked like his chin. And the score was one all. However, when I returned unshaven and generally dishevelled from a month long climbing trip in the wilds of Corsica, I was embraced by my fiancée who made no nasty comments at all. She patiently waited for me to get cleaned up and almost ‘hevelled’, and married me anyway. But beards have been around for ever, it seems. Because women can only grow incipient versions, beards have been the symbols of masculinity and, probably, of idleness. Before razor blades were invented, shaving must have been a real chore. When, for example, Alexander the Great ordered his men to shave before they fought the Persians, famous for carpets, there must have been a great deal of bad Greek language as his armies scraped away with sea shells, bits of slate, dull bronze swords and whatever. This made them so mad that they thumped the enemy, ‘singed their beards’, as the saying goes. Then there were the days that Jesus was portrayed as being clean-shaven like the Greek gods’ statues but, apparently, when the Roman emperor ordered all of his male subjects to smarten up, look masculine and grow their beards for the next hundred years, so did the paintings of Jesus change. Anyway, before my whiskers are set alight by some irate reader, I reckon I’ll shuffle off, buy a new razor, then have another close shave.

What’s Up?
Letters to the Editor Taxes
The other day I was returning from the Casino as it was pension cheques at the end of the month time, when I noticed a city sign by Black Bear Bridge, “Smile, you’re here. We’re happy!” Very surprising sign as most tax payers I have talked to are frowning. Water, sewer, garbage increases, tax increases, huge management structure, and major cost overruns like the flume. Our mayor comments last fall that a $200,000 overrun on flume phase II was’t bad. Our city needs to understand that every tax dollar is vital and should be spent wisely. I really think the taxpayers need a committee to ensure that our Council and management get the most from our taxes. We need to keep our taxes and costs low to remain competitive in a competitive world. Michael Jones Kimberley
Site C Dam
This is in reference to Norm Macdonald’s article in the Kimberley Bulletin of January 15, 2016. I have read Mr. Macdonald’s letter with great interest and I have come to the conclusion that he is on the right track. Our present B.C. government has been promoting LNG pipelines and projects for a number of years but we have not seen any tangible result. Export of natural gas through th sport of Kitimat or Prince Rupert is a pipe dream and would take many years and million for even billions of dollars to realize. Site C Dam has been in the news for the last 20 years or more and th opposition to this project has grown year after year. Yet our provincial government is pushing ahead with this insane project. Ranchers, native people, conservationists and people at large are against this mega project which would cost billions of dollars. But would you know our B.C. Liberal provincial government is totally deaf to this opposition and insists that this is what B.C. needs. B.C. does not need Site C dam as we have enough electric energy to supply all of the province. Most of th generated power would most likely be exported to the United States and it would be doubt-
ful if we ever get paid for it. We have examples of the opposite. The area around Site C is a wonderful farming and ranching area with great potential for agriculture and I cannot see why we have to destroy this great area. Mr. Macdonald mentioned that the money could be spent much better and would create a lot more jobs when we could improve Highway Number One from Alberta to the coast. This would create jobs for many years and it would improve our transportation system throughout the mountains. However Site C is approved and only a number of committed protesters are in the way for this boondoggle to go ahead. We hope that somebody sees the light and cancels this insane project. H. B. Lademann Kimberley
A myopic reading
A rebuttal to Jennifer Long letter to the editor January 28, 2016 “Long on passion, short on facts.” Jennifer Long’s myopic reading of our January 15th letter, as expressed in her January 28th response, misses the point. We had expressed our expectation that Mr. Pratt, as Mayor of Cranbrook, should conduct himself in a manner that is in the best interests of the City. He affirmed in his Oath of Office that he would “not allow any private interests to influence his conduct in public matters”. This includes partisan and personality preferences. We said that his public remarks dissing Mr. Stetski following the federal election were injudicious. We don’t care if they like each other. We said that it is the duty of mayors to work with elected officials, rather than bemoaning the results of elections and criticizing voters for returning the “wrong” result. Ms Long proposes the Mayor “work with [MLA] Bill Bennett”. We agree. However, it would be a clear demonstration of ideological short-sightedness if this was the extent of what the Mayor was prepared to do for Cranbrook. He must also work with Wayne Stetski. Each politician has a role to play in relation to the City. We note that there is federal infrastructure money to be spent soon. Mr. Stetski is the point of contact with the federal government on this. Ms Long suggests Mr. Stetski is a “lame duck”. This is incorrect. The term refers to a politician whose term is end-
ing and who will not seek re-election. Mr. Stetski is just beginning a four-year term, and every MP elected has a job to do for constituents, regardless of whether his or her party forms government. As for Ms. Long’s anticipation of different results next time around, predicting the next election is a bit of a challenge, even to someone with her political pedigree. Finally, Ms Long’s unsubstantiated assertion about Wayne Stetski’s term as mayor is not worth discussion. Excessive partisanship as expressed by Ms Long produces a real inability to accept political reality. Joyce Green and Jim Johnson Cranbrook
Misrepresentation
If a duly elected body or any members of it are found to have acted in a clandestine, non-transparent manner leading the voters to believe one thing while carrying out a very controversial action behind the scenes, is this grounds for recall? Is telling half-truths a form of sneakiness? Is sneakiness a form of dishonesty? What about lack of integrity and trust? How about misrepresentation? Is it deflection to suggest that if the voters, themselves were not paying enough attention or hadn’t studied the issues clearly and kept abreast of them that it isn’t then the elected officials at all to be held to account, but the voters for their ignorance. What then about misrepresenting a situation. According to the dictionary, misrepresentation refers to having given a description of something falsely in an attempt to deceive, or giving someone a false idea about something. In other words, were people led to believe one thing while something else quite the opposite was occurring? Hmm …. has this occurred recently in Cranbrook politics? I will leave you to make those links; draw those conclusions. So, what can voters do in such circumstances? Vote the people in question out. Yes, but how long will that take? Perhaps we should revisit this notion of recall? But I shall leave that to you to ponder. Melodie Hull Cranbrook

New novel based on years as a police officer Ba rry Coulter
A Cranbrook author is launching her first novel at a public event on Friday, February 5, at the Manual Training Centre in Cranbrook, next to the library. “The Saint and the Soul Slayer,” is a novel by R.W. Wells, which is the pen name of Dorothy McKay. McKay chose to write under the pen name as the book is based on events witnessed during her long career as a police officer in a major Canadian urban centre.
Thursday, FEBRuary 4, 2016 Page 7
“It’s about some of the events, both funny and sad, that happened during my 30 years as a police officer,” she said. “The names have been changed to protect the innocent — and the guilty.” The book took three years to write. “It started as a story and expanded from there.” “The Saint and the Soul Slayer” is the first in a planned series, centred around the character of Xavier O’Malley. “He’s compassionate, and
has a lot of empathy,” McKay said of her character. “He has been affected by a terrible tragedy in his life — but as time goes on, he has gotten over it. In “The Saint and the Soul Slayer,” O’Malley has been promoted from Constable to detective, and is working in the Guns and Gangs unit. He becomes friends with Rose, a prostitute and a voice of the streets, and O’Malley gets drawn deep into the underworld.
The book launch will be held Friday, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will include a reading from the book, as well as readings of the poems of the late Cranbrook artist and writer ManWoman. The book itself is currently available on Amazon, and at Friday’s event. It will soon be available at Cole’s in Cranbrook. Friday’s book launch is being held under the auspices of the Cranbrook and District Arts Council.

Thunder Cats claw two points from Dynamiters in Creston Creston Valley Thunder Cats strike three times in second period to edge out Kimberley Dynamiters in KIJHL action Wednesday Taylor Rocc a
You can’t win ‘em all and Wednesday night the Creston Valley Thunder Cats handed the Kimberley Dynamiters only their sixth regulation loss of the 201516 KIJHL campaign by claiming a 3-2 victory at Johnny Bucyk Arena. With the win, the Thunder Cats (27-14-22) claimed two valuable points to add a bit of extra breathing room between them and the Fernie Ghostriders (2515-0-4) in the race for second place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division. The Dynamiters (356-0-4) already sit pretty atop the division, having clinched the title and home-ice advantage
through the opening two rounds of the KIJHL post-season with a 5-3 victory over the Castlegar Rebels this past Saturday. Wednesday, Dynamiters rookie defenceman George Bertoia opened the scoring in the dying moments of the first period as he beat Thunder Cats goaltender Jason Mailhiot for a 1-0 lead with only 27 seconds remaining in the period. After that, the Thunder Cats took control in the middle period. The hosts struck three times in a matter of 3:56 to take a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes of play. First, Thunder Cats forward Logan Styler beat Nitros goaltender
Mitch Traichevich to tie the game 1-1 with 8:52 remaining in the second period. Thunder Cats leading scorer Alec Wilkinson struck next, tallying his 13th goal and 61st point of the campaign, to give Creston Valley a 2-1 advantage. Rounding out the second period cracks was Thunder Cats forward Nicholas Kovacik, who scored with 4:56 to go in the period to send his team into the dressing room in control after two periods. Shortly after the Thunder Cats claimed a two-goal advantage, things went from bad to worse for the Dynamiters as Eric Buckley was served with a five-min-

ute major penalty for interference, along with a game misconduct. Buckley, 20, has been a key presence this season for the Nitros, having collected 20 goals and 59 points through 45 games. On top of being without the services of the pesky 5-foot-9 Penticton native for the third period, Kimberley was forced to spend five minutes on the penalty kill rather than working to even the score. Outside of outscoring the visitors in the second, the Thunder Cats heavily outshot the Dynamiters, sending 17 pucks towards Traichevich while holding the Kimberley offence to a mere four shots in
the period. Dynamiters newcomer Franco Colapaolo pulled his club back within one late in the third period, collecting his second goal of the season with 4:56 remaining in regulation. Colapaolo’s goal wasn’t enough to salvage the second period and the Thunder Cats hung on for a 3-2 triumph. Next up, the Kimberley Dynamiters take on the Fernie Ghostriders in a highly-anticipated weekend home-andhome series. Friday in Kimberley, the Nitros play host to the Ghostriders at 7 p.m. on Pink the Rink Anti-Bullying Night, in partnership with Western Financial Group, at the

Cranbrook’s Payton Lee enjoying life with Edmonton Oil Kings Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
For the longest time, 140 games to be precise, Cranbrook native Payton Lee held down the fort as the go-to goaltender for the Vancouver Giants. That all changed Nov. 5, when the Giants dealt the soft spoken, 6-foot-1 puck-stopper to the Edmonton Oil Kings in exchange for a sixthround pick at the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. “It’s obviously a little bit of a blow to your confidence when you get traded,” Lee said Tuesday night after collecting a 6-3 victory over the Kootenay Ice in front of friends and family. “Edmonton needed a goalie and they traded for me. It’s been great. They’ve given me a great opportunity and I’ve been treated nothing but the best so far. I’m just looking forward to keeping it going.” Lee, along with the Giants, got off to a rough start at the beginning of the 2015-16 Western Hockey League campaign. The 19-year-old was dealt only 15 games into the Giants schedule, having chalked up a record of 3-5-1-1 with a 3.36 goals-against average (GAA) and .896 save percentage (SP). Not exactly shining numbers. Since arriving in Edmonton, Lee has served alongside fellow netminder Patrick Dea. The Cranbrook product has seen action in 16 of the Oil Kings’ 35 games since his acquisition and he’s managed a 7-72-0 mark, fuelled by a 2.59 GAA, .906 SP along

Cranbrook native and Oil Kings goaltender Payton Lee watches the play from his crease during Tuesday action between Edmonton and the Kootenay Ice. with one shutout. The Oil Kings have found momentum in recent weeks, with Tuesday’s triumph over the Ice coming as Edmonton’s third consecutive victory and fifth win in six tries. The chaotic 6-3 outing at Western Financial Place pushed the Oil Kings past the Regina
Payton Lee Pats and into the top wild card position in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. “We’ve just been working hard in practice and trying to follow the coach’s game plan and battle for each other,”
Lee said. “We all want to make playoffs.” With this latest run, Lee and the Oil Kings (22-23-6-1) are certainly building towards that. The next task on hand is three games through the B.C. Division, beginning Saturday against the Kamloops Blazers (23-195-3), before visiting Lee’s old Giants (20-27-

The weekend results dropped the men’s squad to 8-12 on the season as they sit fifth in the seven-team PACWEST standings. Life wasn’t much better on the womens’ side of the festivities as the Lady Avs also registere a 1-3 mark over last
weekend’s road trip. The Lady Avs lone win also came at Columbia Bible College, but in straight sets (2522, 25-12, 25-13) Jan. 29. Setter Kendra Hainsworth was named Lady Avs Athlete of the Week with 13 sets and 20 digs over the weekend. The Lady Avs fell to 7-13 and now sit sixth in the seven-team PACWEST standings.

ed here didn’t go so well. We’ve got to make up for those points and try to battle for every point we can.” The trip Lee refers to, a six-game swing from Nov. 13 through 21, saw the Oil Kings go 1-5-0, collecting only two of a possible 12 points. Friends and family in Cranbrook can look forward to two more visits from Lee and the Oil Kings. The next date between Kootenay and Edmonton is slated for Fri., Feb. 26, with the final match up coming Tues., March 15. Lee spent 140 games (2011-12 to 2015-16) in Vancouver after the Giants tabbed him with the 28th-overall selection in the second round of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. Over his 140-game tenure in Vancouver, Lee went 52-71-5-4 with five shutouts. In 27 total games this season, split between the Giants and Oil Kings, Lee is 10-12-3-1 with one shutout.

Only two skaters will represent the Kootenay Zone at the BC Winter Games in Penticton later this month. They are Geneve Miller from the Cranbrook Skating Club and Bianca Marina from Kimberley’s North Star Skaters. Geneve, 15, will skate in the Pre-Novice category and Bianca, 13, in the Juvenile. They qualified for the games at Sections in Coquitlam earlier this year. Both girls are as excited as they could be about going to their first BC Winter Games. They are not sure what to expect, but are working as hard as they can in the run up to the Games to polish their jumps, fine tune their programs and be ready for the competition. “My best jump is a double flip,” said Bianca. “I’m working on a double axel, which is the most difficult double. I’m looking forward to the experience at the BC Winter Games and meeting other skaters.” Geneve says her best jump is the double Lutz. “It’s my first BC Games. I’m just looking forward to the experience and being around a lot of skaters. And the competi-

tion.” Both girls acknowledge that the toughest competition will come out of the coast and Kelowna, where they have access to year round ice. “I have competed against some of them at Sectionals,” Geneve said. “The biggest competition comes from the big clubs. I would be happy with a personal best.” Bianca also wants to beat her best score, and of course stay on her feet for the whole program. In the Juvenile cate-
gory, skaters only skate one program in competition. In Pre Novice, it’s two. Geneve is on the ice five days a week training before the Games. Bianca skates Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and has added an extra Tuesday session. Bianca and Geneve will be accompanied to the Games by Lorinda Nelson, the head coach of the Cranbrook Skating Club. The BC Winter Games begin on February 25 and run through to February 28, 2016.

Trail Mayor responds to damning story about pollution Sheri Regnier Trail Daily Times
Sheri Regnier
Trail Mayor Mike Martin views the Globe and Mail story as a catalyst to strengthen communication between Teck and the city.
When a city is tarnished by a national news story, the best way to fight back is with facts. “This is a real wake up call, again, despite all the work that is being done and all the good things that are happening in the community,” says Trail Mayor Mike Martin. “Yet we still remain vulnerable to having a smelter in our back yard. “But there’s another side to this and this is where we are going to
need Teck’s help to see if we can overcome this negative image.” Martin was referring to provincial court proceedings in Rossland this week, that has Teck facing more than a dozen charges of spilling chemicals into the Columbia River on two separate occasions. “This just reinforces for me, the need to have Teck come to the table and see what we can jointly do, to overcome the negative image and negative view of what we see as a beautiful city,”

he added. “And one we take great pride in.” The news about Teck heading to court was thrust into the national spotlight by the Globe and Mail on Friday, in a story that painted a polluted portrait of the Trail environment. “I shared the article with council that morning,” said Martin. “I was extremely disappointed with how Trail was portrayed,” he shared. “It was dealing with negative facts, some historical, and didn’t balance that with all the good work that has been done in the community. “There really is no recognition of that - and this really creates both an economic and social issue for us.” The story generates strain on the already soft Trail real estate market. Martin pointed to the $10,000 drop in property value on the average Trail home, according to 2016 BC Assessment roll. “Trail was one of the few communities that actually saw a decline in overall assessment, primarily driven by market real estate sales,” he said. ”Compare ourselves to other communities in the Kootenays and you can quickly come to the conclusion that Trail is not seen as attractive as other cities might be.” So, how does Martin and his council tackle another black mark against Trail? “I really see this as a catalyst for improved communication between Teck and the city,” he said. “They are a great corporate citizen and have shown great respect for their social licence to be operating in this community. “And I am not taking away from the good that has happened, because a lot of good has happened,” he emphasized. “But the bar is forever rising on us as a society and somehow we need Teck to come to the table to help us, and help this community.” As chair of the Trail Health and Environment Committee (THEC), Martin emphasizes the group’s community-led passion and success in promoting healthy living and a clean environment in the Trail area. “The way you respond to it, is with facts,” says Martin, referring to
the way Trail is often portrayed in media. Sampling tests are black and white, not left open to conjecture. “There’s been a 95 per cent decrease in emissions from the smelter over the last 20 years, that’s air and effluent, demonstrated through all the sampling that’s been done,” said Martin. “The one that really stands out for me, is lead emissions from the stacks have decreased by 99.5 per cent.” Another factual improvement is the ever declining serum lead level in children. “That is a key indicator for us,” said Martin. “We’ve seen continuous improvement over the last 20 years, a big step being when the KIVCET furnace came on line. And the next big step, we (THEC) believe, is going to be the management of fugitive emissions.” He also refutes an undated reference from the article that states, “tests downstream found water is highly toxic.” “A study was completed in 2013 and 2014, specifically looking at the health of the Columbia River downstream of the operations,” explained Martin. “That study concluded the river is healthy, the fish are safe to eat, and there is no impact of smelter effluents on the river.” Finally, Martin mentioned another matter, the contaminated aquifer under Trail operations. “Teck is putting in another $40 million plant to deal with that,” said Martin, noting the groundwater treatment plant currently under construction. Drinking water does not come from that source, however in light of the water contamination probe in Flint, Michigan (heavily contaminated with lead), Martin thought it prudent to follow up with a test of Trail’s water supply. “I wanted to get confirmation on the quality of water in the City of Trail and the level of lead,” he added. “I just received the test results and the level of lead is below what is detectable in a laboratory.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be opening up to new ideas because of the way an expert has presented his or her thoughts. You are likely to test these ideas out on others. You’ll want to get feedback before you say too much. Today, you show the possibility of success. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Continue working directly with loved ones. In some cases, it might involve a personal matter; however, you will be dealing with experts, so you can’t go wrong. Once you feel as if you’re all on the same page, you can initiate a change. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not be in control right now. Realize that you cannot control anyone but yourself. A discussion about a money matter or an emotional situation could occur between you and an adviser of sorts. Take your time with this conversation. Tonight: Listen to a loved one.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll accomplish a lion’s share of the work. You could have to redo some of it once you have a discussion with a partner or an associate. Understand that what you come up with might not be the final decision. You are on a path to the final decision. Tonight: Sort through offers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The Lion roars right now, and you’ll achieve whatever you decide is important. You need to backtrack and make sure that you have dotted your i’s and crossed your t’s. You might discover that a very important detail has been left out. Tonight: Get a head start on a project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re a bit like a car being turned over and suddenly revving its engine. You might want to take off to do what you must and start your weekend simultaneously. Handle one matter at a time, and you’re likely to accomplish both goals. Tonight: Christen the weekend a day early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to open up a
Tundra
conversation with someone from whom you feel a coldness. You probably will succeed, but not immediately. Give yourself space to do more of what you want, and let this person want to join you. Touch base with a family member. Tonight: At home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be experiencing a lot of frustration from dealing with a financial matter. As a result, you could decide to throw a project in the air and let it go. Think through your plan of action before you carry it out. Have an important conversation. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have what it takes, and you make a big difference to others. Your ability to cruise through your day and complete what you want will be highlighted. Be aware of your finances; check your accounts to make sure you can afford what you are thinking of. Tonight: Party time! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what is important to you. You’ll want to move forward and take action. Hold off and do
some research first. You could discover a better path. Take your time making a stronger decision, as it will lead to a more effective action. Tonight: Feeling your Wheaties. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friendship will be instrumental in making your choices. A meeting provides you with some direction for how to proceed. Still, you might decide to do some hard thinking. Time is your ally right now, so don’t rush into anything. Tonight: Brainstorm with a friend over a meal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are on top of your game. Others turn to you to get your feedback and tap into your leadership skills. Later in the day, your focus is likely to change, as a jovial tone marks your interactions. You might feel as if others really appreciate you. Tonight: Let the party go on. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Alice Cooper (1948), singer/songwriter Clint Black (1962), musician Jeff Schroeder (1974)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I live in the same town as two friends from high school. One of these friends married right out of high school and starting having children. My other friend and I both went to college together, and then she also married and started her family. Neither of these women had a career outside the home. I, however, worked in a professional capacity until retirement, and I did not have children. We are now in our 60s. I love both these ladies and am glad we live in the same town. Here’s the problem: When I am with either friend individually, they will talk about a variety of topics with me, which I enjoy. However, when we get together as a threesome, these two mostly talk to each other about their children and grandchildren and I am left out of the conversation. Changing the subject doesn’t work, and I don’t enjoy feeling like the third wheel. Any suggestions on how to deal with this touchy matter would be appreciated. -- Left Out Dear Left Out: You’ve known these women for decades. It’s OK to be frank, as long as it is done in a lighthearted way. The next time you get together, say with a smile, “Laurie and Louise, you have five minutes to discuss your kids. I’m happy to know what’s going on with your families, and I’ll even look at the latest pictures of the grandchildren. But more than that leaves me out of the conversation. We have so many other things to talk about. OK?” Dear Annie: This is in reply to the letter from “Nervous Nellie,” whose fiance never stops looking at other women. Twenty five years ago, I was in the same situation. After seeing my fiance make eye contact with and smile at other women numerous times, I had enough. Up until then, I had never said a word about it, knowing that he would turn it around and tell me I was insecure. One day we were in a large supermarket aisle, when, as I turned to speak to him, I saw that he was ogling a woman in the checkout line. And she was returning his smile. I went up close to him and whispered in his ear, “If you EVER do that again, I will yell as loudly as I can that you are impotent and unemployed, and that she can have you if she wants. (Part of that was true.) He knew by the fire in my eyes that I meant it and the disrespectful behavior ceased immediately. Nonetheless, within months I decided that I didn’t need this loser and broke our engagement. But that incident is still a sweet memory. -- Empowered Myself Dear Empowered: We love it. Especially the part where you broke off the engagement. If this man required a major warning in order to treat you with respect, he wasn’t worth your time and you figured it out before you married him. Good for you.

My problem with forgiveness Hello Wendy: was wondering if you and your guides could help me with my problem on forgiveness. My ex-husband wants me to take him back. We have been separated for two years and we have gone to counselling off and on. We have had date nights and he is sweet to me. It seems at times like when we were first dating and that makes me feel good. The problem is he cheated on me not only once when we were married but three times. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to forgive him for his cheating on me Wendy. Can you
What is AlphaLipoic Acid (ALA)? By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND
Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent anti-oxidant in the body that helps to protect cells from being damaged by free radicals. ALA is one of the only anti-oxidants capable of crossing the blood brain barrier which can help to alleviate nerve damage and the oxidative damage that has been shown to occur during concussions. Alpha-Lipoic acid also helps the body utilize glucose and balance blood sugars and can be useful in the treatment of diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. ALA comes in two different forms: ALA and ALA R+. The difference between the two forms lies in their ability to be absorbed by the body and the areas that they are able to access. ALA is less absorbed by the body as it is fat soluble only, but it can still cross the blood-brain barrier and is great for the treatment of diabetes, nerve damage and increasing the levels of other antioxidants in the body including glutathione. The exciting property of ALA R+ is that it is both water and fat soluble meaning that it is able to act on tissues outside of the cells as well as being able to access the internal environment inside the cells. This allows for added protection from free radical damage as most anti-oxidants such as vitamin C, Vitamin E, curcumin and glutathione are able to act on the extracellular areas alone. This is especially useful to help protect and restore the mitochondria which are the energy producing components inside the cells which have been shown to be dysfunctional in chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and cancer. ALA R+ is also more absorbed and new research is showing it to be a promising treatment in integrative cancer care to support chemotherapy and radiation. Taking ALA in either form can help alleviate any oxidative stress on the cells in the body and for more information on Alpha-Lipoic acid please feel free to contact us.

and your guides offer any suggestions on how I can overcome these feelings of betrayal and forgiveness for him so that perhaps we can start again? Feeling Angry and Frustrated Dear Feeling Angry and Frustrated: The feelings and thoughts racing through your mind at this time can be emotionally debilitating not only to the mind but the body as well. For example: I have to forgive you because I want to be with you so bad and if I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgive you then I will be unhappy. If I am unhappy and I go back to you then I am wasting my life and then what do I do? If you are late coming home from work or you want to go out for a drink with the boys my anxiety and thoughts will be uncontrollable. When you come home will we be fighting again and will I be hearing your lies and then what do I do? How will I get over this anger I have inside of me when I look at you and know you cheated on me with other women? Will I be able emotionally to survive if I do go back to you and you betray me again? I think I will snap like a twig if you do this to me again and I am feeling scared and vulnerable. These are some of the thoughts that we are feeling from you at this time. Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at this the way it is and not the way you want it to be. First of all you never asked us in your email if you think your ex-husband will cheat on you again. The reason why you did not ask us is because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to know. That is one of the first questions you should ask yourself before you proceed in your relationship with your ex-husband. This means does your gut [which is your soul talking to you and your guides trying to relay messages to you) tell you that you can trust him again? You have to be 100% totally honest with yourself and the answers you receive back from the universe and your soul you must trust implicitly without letting your ego get in the way. If you are honest with yourself and listen to the answers that they are telling you and not what you want to hear then you will not make the same mistakes, not only in this relationship with your ex-husband, but in other areas of your life as well. I teach people in my classes to talk and communicate with their guides all the time with a great deal of success. We as humans have a direct line to the God like force and we can

channel that energy with honesty and truth to get the answers we need in order to function productively and happily on this plane. Another point is you must take yourself out of the equation of he is or was my husband. This means before he was your husband he was a boy then he was a man. This means you ask yourself this one question: Did he cheat on the women he went out with before me? If the answer is yes, which we know it is then this is not about you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about him. Unfortunately, this problem became your problem when you married him. This ASK WENDY means he had not learned the lesson to Wendy stop cheating on himEvano self; so how can he stop cheating on you? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have a problem with forgiving your ex-husband. I think you have a problem with forgetting what he did to you. To me forgiveness is the easy part and only fools forget what a person has done to them without complete restitution made by the other party. If you do go back to your ex-husband and he cheats on you again they will not pack you to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looneyâ&#x20AC;? bin. You have risen like a phoenix from the ashes the first time and though it may take a little long to rise again the second time you will do so. In regards to forgiving someone because you want to go back to the way it was is forgiving from a place of fear. When you are forgiving someone from a place of fear you are acting from your lower self. This means if you are forgiving him because you are feeling lonely or want those old days back again then that energy will be tainted with the lower frequencies of that yearning. If you are trying to forgive this man because you hope that you will be appreciated and loved for all that you do, you will constantly feel disappointed that you are not getting as much in return as you gave. You will also have an empty feeling that he loves you for what you can do for him instead of who you really are. Take your time, work through the anger of betrayal until you can look at him and not feel that emotion. Listen to your heart, become your own person, look at the truth of your issues with your ex-husband and you will come to your own conclusions as a responsible, accountable adult. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to do this then you can phone me for a consultation and my guides and I will help you.

Dogs, drones help detect invasive species in B.C. New tactics aim to keep out mussels and other alien invaders Jeff Nagel Black Press
Dogs, drones and DNA testing are emerging as new tools to detect invasive species and keep them from becoming entrenched in B.C. The new tactics were described by experts Tuesday at a conference of the Invasive Species Council of B.C. in Richmond. Trained sniffer dogs have proven much more effective than human teams, particularly at night, in detecting tiny invasive zebra mussels that can cling to boats and then infest new lakes, according to Cindy Sawchuk, who heads Alberta’s Conservation K9 program that helps inspect water craft arriving in that province from the east and south. Most of the 11 mussel-infested boats intercepted last summer entering Alberta from other jurisdictions were ultimately destined for B.C. lakes. Sawchuk’s superiors had dismissed her proposal for dogs as useful only for public relations, so she designed a trial in 2014 to test them. “The dogs were 100 per cent accurate in detecting the mussel-fouled boats and our humans came in at 75 per cent,” Sawchuk told delegates. “The dogs were also much quicker at detecting it. They averaged 2.3 minutes. And that included their play time for their reward.” Speedier inspections also mean less resistance from boat owners, some of whom had told Sawchuk they’d taken to entering the province in the dead of night to avoid inconvenience. The three highly trained dogs – Hilo, Seuss and Diesel – cost $25,000 each but Sawchuk says they’re cheap compared to an estimated $75 million a year Alberta estimates it would spend clearing clogged pipes, canals and water intakes if the mussels arrive. Delegates also heard from Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientist Davon Callander who is
using DNA testing of water samples in the B.C. Interior to quickly determine if a given lake has a particular invasive fish species. Drones are being used near Creston to aerially map infestations of yellow flag iris, an invasive plant, in hard-toreach wetland locations. Catherine Tarasoff, a researcher with Thompson Rivers University, hopes the rapidly evolving technology will soon allow scientists to program drones to fly autonomously at high speed, scanning large areas and stopping only to alert their operators when a suspect patch of vegetation matches target images. Technology may be helping thwart alien invaders. But Gail Wallin, executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C., says the best prevention rests in better choices by people, whose decisions in the past ushered in many of the species now disrupting ecosystems in B.C. Japanese knotweed – which is nearly impossible to eradicate and can punch through concrete – menaces roads, bridges and building foundations across Metro Vancouver and was first introduced as a garden plant.

Well now, you get it in park lands or around marsh areas and you wonder why did we ever plant this stuff in the first place. Because now we’ve got to hire teams in haz mat suits to remove it.” Flowering rush is a new invasive plant that has been detected in three areas in B.C., including Whistler and the Hatzic area of the Fraser

Valley, triggering an emergency response by the province to contain it. The plant grows underwater in lakes and is very difficult to remove because the tiniest portion of the root left behind just regenerates more. Problematic invasive critters in the Lower Mainland include redeared slider turtles and American bullfrogs, as well as European fire ants, whose hostile attacks can render backyards almost unusable. The fire ants are thought to have often been spread when soil from construction sites was trucked from one place to another in the Lower Mainland. Feral pigs are running amok in some parts of southwestern B.C., but are a more significant problem in the Interior. The release of pets into the wild – rabbits, goldfish, koi and even
the bizarre snakehead fish found in a Burnaby pond in 2012 – are yet more examples of where people could do better, Wallin said. What species haven’t yet made a beachhead that Wallin would like to keep out? She names rusty crayfish, which has arrived in Oregon from the east coast, likely as live fishing bait that escaped and thrived. “It’s a fairly aggressive crayfish and it can come in and overtake some of the native species and clams that are here.” Another is the European green crab, which has arrived on the west side of Vancouver Island, but has not yet reached Georgia Strait and Howe Sound. B.C.’s costs of dealing with invasive plants alone is estimated to hit $139 million a year by 2020, twice as much as in 2008.

1908 Turpentine in East Kootenay … A. E. Watts is nothing if he is not versatile. Saw mills, agriculture, mining, politics, patent fire alarms, real estate, legion of frontiersmen and literature are all fish that come to his net. Mr. Watts’ latest experiments have been along the line of the production of turpentine, tar and creosote from pine stumps and the refuse of the saw mills. Experiments on a small scale in the distillation of pine stumps have been conducted by Mr. Watts, of Wattsburg, for some time past with such satisfactory results that he is going to experiment on a larger scale during this winter. The Herald was unable, during Mr. Watts’ visit to Cranbrook this week, to have more than two or three minutes talk with him, so that it is impossible to get the full particulars of his experiments, but at an early date we shall be able to do this. In the meantime, there is no doubt but that Mr. Watts has got hold of an idea that may, and probably will, build up a big and new industry for this district. Imperial Bank to build a modern building for modern financial institution … About April the first the Imperial Bank will start on its new building in Cranbrook. Part of the present building will be moved to the back end of the lot for use as temporary quarters. The new building will be two stories high, built of pressed brick and stone and modern in every respect. The woodwork, it is understood, will be of eastern curly birch and all the fittings will be the newest and most up-to-date that can be purchased. With such institutions as the Imperial Bank and the Canadian Bank of Commerce, building handsome offices in Cranbrook it shows that the financiers of the country have faith in the future of Cranbrook and the district. Ross tate takes a partner … J. E. Ardell, of Winnipeg, has associated himself with C. Ross Tate in the jewelry business. Mr. Tate’s business is growing rapidly and it will occupy the attention of Mr. Ardell and himself to keep up with the demand upon the repair and sales departments. Mr. Ardell is a competent and experienced man in the business. He and Mr. Tate are old friends. ( J. E. Ardell is well-known in Cranbrook, having been in W. F. Tate’s jewelry store for some time.)

The Imperial Bank was set to start construction on its new building in Cranbrook in 1908. crackers, Same Soue, chop soue, fan tan and a general good time ushered in the New Year in Chinatown at 37 minutes past twelve on Sunday morning. The celestials started their celebration on Saturday but the New Year, according to the Chinese calendar, began with the new moon. There was not as much public demonstration as in years gone by for the reason, as explained by “Dennis” Quong, to the Herald, that there were more Chinamen and that now they liked to have their little time to themselves. However, there must have been a lot of powder burnt, if the constant bombardment of fire crackers is anything to go by. Enforcement needed … The enforcement of the cattle bylaw is the initial step towards a Cranbrook beautiful. University needed … Is it possible to find a spot more eminently situated for a university than Cranbrook? No. Let everyone do all in their power to induce the government to make Cranbrook British Columbia’s University town, Great growth … The year will see a greater and more active improvement in Cranbrook than ever before in her history. The amount and quality of the building, which will be put up will be greater and better. The centralization of the district’s business in Cranbrook will be more in evidence during 1908 than in the past. Cranbrook is recognized throughout British Columbia; and the Canadian Central west as the manufacturing, lumbering, mining, agricultural and business center of East Kootenay. In consequence of this, inquiries from the outside, about matters pertaining to any of the industries or resources of the district come to Cranbrook. For nearly ten years the Herald has said “Watch Cranbrook grow,” and she has. The Herald now says “Watch Cranbrook grow during 1908.” A G.T.R. Limerick … There was a voting man in Mayook/Who unto himself a wife took/“Little dearest,” said he/“Send away for some tea/To G.T.R., the grocer,
Cranbrook.” Better again … Engineer T. S. Gill is around again today after having been laid up for about three weeks as a result of an accident. Eric badly injured … Eric Saundien, better known for twenty years or more in the valley as “Old Eric,” was badly injured on Horse Thief creek this week while thawing powder, to be used in clearing the stream for the Columbia Lumber company. Both of the unfortunate man’s eyes were put out and other severe injuries inflicted, and it is a question whether he will recover. ‘‘‘Old Eric” came to South East Kootenay with N. Hanson and was the grand factotum for Mr. Hanson for years, having been in charge of the construction of the first houses, mill, planer building, etc., on place. There are many in the ditrict who will hear the news sorrow, as “ Old Eric” was a general favorite with all who knew him. Oh oh … By the upsetting of a sleigh at the first bridge north of the town last Tuesday evening, Mrs. M. McEachern, Miss Kerr, Miss Ross and Miss Taylor were badly shaken up. Mrs. McEachern was badly cut and bruised about the head and face and the other ladies were all more, or less, injured. Relax … The evenings are getting so long now that a man has plenty of time for a smoke while his wife is getting in the kindling for morning. Constant traffic … Five trains, one light engine and a wheelbarrow passed through Elko on Sunday. Salary raise … The city council paid T. M. Roberts a deserved compliment last evening by giving him unsolicited a nice increase in his salary. This was done on account of the material increase in the work of the office and also because of the efficient manner in which the business in the office has been handled by Mr. Roberts. There are few men in Cranbrook as competent for such a position, as Mr. Roberts, and this public recognition of his abilities will be fully appreciated by the people.

The minute, everyday aspects of sin Ana s tasia Bartl e t t
I
was talking with a friend the other day and she mentioned she had been at a choir workshop for the Orthodox church. She hinted the workshop wasn’t as pleasurable as it could have been since there was one participant who caused some grief. The participant objected to something the leader had taught, insisting the leader was incorrect because she, the participant, “had
been doing it this way for the past 40 years.” She wouldn’t let the issue go. She continued to complain and refused to be corrected. Her attitude made everyone feel uncomfortable and ended up building walls between herself and the rest of the participants. After hearing this story, it occurred to me that maybe participating in the choir (a relatively benign activity and something most of
us would consider to be a good thing for a Christian to do) was for this person; a sin. Most people think of sin as some activity that is wrong to do, obvious stuff like stealing, bullying or assault. Basically, we think of sin as anything which society has deemed illegal or hurtful or shameful. In the eyes of many, these things are pretty straightforward sins. We like to think in black and white. Black is sin,
and white is stuff like helping others, giving to the poor, and getting involved in church activities. Personally, I think sin comes in far more than fifty shades of grey. Sin isn’t necessarily doing bad things. Sin is something that comes between me and God. Sin can appear even when I am doing something that society considers good. Sin is alienates me from God, which hap-
College unveils new logo Courtesy Darryl Schmidt
At College of the Rockies’ 40th anniversary celebration on Tuesday, February 2, President and CEO David Walls unveiled a portion of the College’s new brand identity - a new logo. “We recently concluded a year-long strategic planning initiative and through that process it was determined that a new branding strategy was a logical step,” explains Walls. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in May 2015 to find a company to lead the rebranding. Strut Creative out of Calgary, Alberta was granted the contract in August. The rebrand, which will be rolled out slowly before being fully adopted for the start of the fall semester in September, is meant to reflect the College’s brand promise - Rocky Mountain Inspired, Small College Proud - and to strengthen and modernize how the College represents itself to the communities it serves. As part of the rebranding initiative, Strut has developed a fresh look for the College, including the new logo unveiled at the 40th Anniversary celebration. “This is a brave departure from where we were,” says Walls. “The continuous flowing shape of our new logo signifies life-long learning, a continuous journey, sustainability and opportunity and speaks to our being adaptive, responsive and approachable. The new look also pays tribute to our place in the Rockies
without giving the sense that the mountains are the only thing that we’re about.” The logo is the first step in the overall brand strategy which will be finalized by the end of February. The public will likely see both logos in use for several
months as current stocks of branded materials are depleted before a full transition to the new look takes place in September. “The rebranding is the largest overhaul of the image since we moved from East Kootenay Community College
to College of the Rockies 20 years ago,” adds Marketing and Communications Manager, Heather Jackson. “Unveiling our logo is the first exciting step in this rebranding process. We look forward to communicating further changes to our brand identity in the months to come.” Along with the new look, College of the Rockies remains committed to its vision of creating and providing the most personal student experience in Canada.

pens when I alienate myself from others. How can I love God whom I do not see while at the same time, ignore, disparage or even hate the people around me? Singing in the choir, itself, may not have been a sin for the workshop participant, but as it seemed to trigger pride, disdain and other alienating behaviours; perhaps to avoid sin, she should avoid the choir, for a time. I have to constantly re-evaluate my own life and ferret out those things which alienate me from those around me. Am I engaging in too much screen time and not enough time with those who are immediately present? If so, then netflix and facebook are becoming sinful for me. Does my writing become a reason to be irritated with those around me because they are ‘interrupting my creative process’? If so, then my writing has be-
come sinful. Is ‘my time’ more important than time spent with others? Sure, we all need our downtime, but if my downtime is damaging my relationships with others, then it is becoming a sin for me. This may involve putting aside my own desires and goals for the future and love those around me now, because they, or I, may be gone tomorrow. I need to focus on the now and let God take care of the future. Whether I’m mom and grandma or a writer, whatever I do will mean nothing eternally if it is achieved at the the expense of personal relationships. If everything I do, I do for God; then everything I do, I do in love and God will take care of the rest. “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know
all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Everything else is sin.
