$20 million project finished TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Politicians, community volunteers and public servants celebrated the official unveiling of the new Intensive Care Unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday afternoon. The ICU, a $20 million project that broke ground in May 2014, finished ahead of schedule and under budget and will be fully operational by April.

Another timber frame bridge to be installed C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Local company Tyee Log Homes will build and install a fourth timber frame bridge over Mark Creek this year. The City has received CBT funding of $112,000 for enhancements to the Mark Creek Restoration Project. $67,000 of those funds will go to the construction and installation of the bridge. City CAO Scott Sommerville says the bridge will replace the current orange metal pedestrian bridge over the creek. “The idea is to provide a more obvious entrance to the Peaks to Platzl trail,” he said.
Tyee constructed the other three bridges, already installed at Marysville, behind the curling rink and in the first phase of the flume rehab on St. Mary’s Avenue. Tyee has held the price to the same as the previous bridges. There will also be interpretive signage in two timber frame kiosks that will explain the history of the creek in the community, its containment in a concrete flume and treatment under a mining-centric town, and its rehabilitation as a habitat for Westslope Cutthroat Trout. The City will work together with Wildsight on the vegetation and education components.

Another wooden bridge will replace the orange metal bridge over the flume. Above is the St. Mary Avenue bridge with its landscaping complete.
A Cranbrook resident is in custody after stabbing her partner in the thigh in the early morning hours of February 20th, 2016. In response to a report of a domestic altercation at a local apartment building, Cranbrook RCMP found a male in obvious distress with a serious thigh wound. The officers were quick to initiate emergency first aid to the male and were able to stabilize him until BC Ambulance arrived. The victim was then transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital by BC Ambulance where priority emergency room treatment improved his condition further. He underwent surgery is expected to make a full recovery. Police arrested a female at the scene and are holding her in custody to take before the courts. This was a targeted attack in a domestic relationship with no risk to the public.

out there”. Souter never went looking for trouble, but would not back down from it either. Kimberley fans were quick to bestow the name “Scooter” on him during his first season with the Dynamiters. If you came to town without a nickname, it would not be long before you were given one. Coach Bill Steenson used Souter as a shutdown Centre against the opposing team’s best player. As Steener said to me once “ Wally is a guy you want to go to war with”. Kenny McTeer always seemed to take
ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Bulletin
Wally Souter, who passed away in January, was a terrific centre ice man for the Kimberley Dynamiters of the Western International Hockey League during the 1960s and 70s. Wally came to the Dynamiters from the Flin Flon Bombers, who, at the time were a powerhouse in Canadian Junior Hockey. Souter played 10 seasons here for the Nitros, and to my knowledge, never missed a game. In my opinion the three best skaters in the W.I. H. L. at that time were Murray Owens of Nelson Maple Leafs, Adolph Tambellini of the Trail Smoke Eaters, and Wally “ Scooter “ Souter of the Kimberley Dynamiters. Wally became a Millwright for CM and S (Cominco) while settling into family life with his wife Rose and their daughter Kim and son Scott. Summers were spent playing golf at the Kimberley Golf Club. Most top notch hockey players have wonderful eye hand coordination and Souter was no exception, sporting a golf handicap of 1. When the Drumheller Miners came to town to play the Dynamiters in the Allan Cup Playoffs ( Senior Hockey Supremacy in Canada ) Wally Souter was probably the best Dynamiter for ward against the physically intimating Drumheller team who boasted a former N. H. L. Most Valuable Player in goalie Al Rollins (Chicago Black Hawks). The Drum Miners hosted Kimberley the following weekend, when they played in the Calgary Corral Rink, (a game that drew so many fans
the key face for the Nitros (and won most of them too). He was an N. H. L. calibre player from Calgary, hence the name “Cowboy”. Souter and McTeer were two of the finest centres in amateur hockey. Off of the ice he was a quiet unassuming man. Souter was 76 years old at his passing Where does the time go? It did not seem all that long we were flooding the Kimberley rink, waiting for the Spokane Jets to hit the ice against our beloved Dynamiters. The very best Kim-

Ray Jensen from Wasa said to me once that Wally Souter worked as hard for Cominco he did on the ice for the Dynamiters, high praise indeed. You will be missed Wally.

Local NEWS New ICU at EK Regional unveiled to community
From page 1 Of the six beds, two are for high-acuity care, which are for patients who require more care than a standard inpatient ward, but less than the ICU and will help make sure the right bed is used to meet the care needs of patients. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, who hosted the ceremony, noted that the project was the result of various levels of government and community organizations coming together to realize a vision. “Our regional hospital continues to improve service to the public and having celebrated each milestone in this project, along with the community, I am very proud of the Province’s continuing investment,” said
Bennett. “The people of the East Kootenay will benefit for generations from this beautiful facility.” In his remarks, Bennett also noted the importance of the electrical upgrades, which improves power supply to the entire hospital, optimizes the systems performance and provides capacity to expand for future power needs. “I do recall a tour of the hospital I went on in 2000 and interestingly last night, there was a power outage and the new backup generators had to be fired up,” Bennett said. “…The two generators kicked in without a beat and there was electricity where and when it was needed. “When I toured the hospital in the year 2000,
I was taken down into the basement…and there are many here who will remember this— that old generator that used sit down in the basement, sometimes it wouldn’t start. “So we had situations with this hospital 15 years ago that if the power went off, we didn’t have electricity.” In terms of funding, the breakdown consisted of $11.478 from the Ministry of Health, $7.652 from the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District and $870,000 coming from regional community donations, including a $450,000 gift from the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary, and further donations from the Kimberley and Invermere Health Care Auxiliaries.

KERHD president Dean McKerracher noted he had a personal connection with the project, having spent some time in the current ICU. “I once spent some time in the old Intensive

doctors to work. “So this is a tremendous step in the future for this hospital and this group.” The new ICU is a 787 square metre addition to the northeast side of the EKRH. The size and layout will provide better flow through the unit for doctors and staff, while offering patients additional privacy, family spaces and maximized natural light. Dr. Lawrence Jewett noted that the hospital was once featured many years ago in a scathing report by Maclean’s magazine as one of the five worst hospitals in the country.
That is no longer the case. “This really marks a era of a new beginning in critical care in the East Kootenays,” Jewett said. “Our staff and now our ICU are state of the art. This unit makes all that we do much safer and I have no doubt it makes us the envy of IH [Interior Health]. “We will no longer have problems recruiting doctors. Now that we have this, we’re full service. Lives will be saved.” In his opening address to dignitaries, stakeholders, volunteers and hospital staff, Bennett admitted that the delivery of health care in the East Kootenays is always a challenge, specifically bringing up the closure of the Kimberley and Sparwood and their conversions into clinics many years ago. Despite those challenges, he touted the value and the access to health care services available at the EKRH. “We should be really proud of what we have to offer people who need medical help today in this regional hospital,” Bennett said. When ICU services move to the newly constructed area in April, construction crews will get to work in the old existing ICU area, which will be converted into a new paediatric space, as it is adjacent to the maternity/neo-natal unit.

Public shaming
All professions need accountability and if there is a problem, it needs to be investigated and resolved. I would kindly suggest that public shaming by the Teacher Regulation Branch (TRB) and again in your paper does nothing to resolve an issue or put supports in place for a struggling teacher. By the time an issue is resolved at the TRB, the teacher has often been dragged through a rigorous process at the local level and then again at the TRB. They have paid the consequences 10 times over by this time. Is it necessary to do the public stoning as well? I don’t think so. No other profession undergoes this shaming in such a public way. Why only teachers? I am disappointed in the Townsman’s decision to print the article and further shame a local teacher. She has paid a very heavy price already. Shelley Balfour Cranbrook
Local Action Team
I am writing to celebrate the excellence some local people. I want to congratulate the East Kootenay Local Action Team of the Child & Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative, who made the video tapes of the workshops held here on Eating Disorders. These videos are now being shown around BC and they are helping many families understand and deal with eating disorders that threaten the lives of hundreds of loved ones. We all know of a family that has or is trying to deal with this terrible condition. This small group of committed local citizens has distinguished themselves to the point that the Doctors of BC, a funding partner with the BC Government, contacted my office to say, “Hey Mr Bennett, did you know you have some local heroes who should be celebrated?” So I am pleased and grateful to say, “well done and thank you!” A special thank you to Jill Bain, project lead for the East Kootenay teams that spearheaded the Eating Disorders work.

Good People
For anyone who knew Deb Blais, I really don’t need to say more. Deb, or Debbie, was ‘good people.’
I should note this is not an anniversary article tied to Deb’s birth, nor death. The timing in fact is not significant at all, except that it is finally about time I put some of my thoughts about Deb in writing. Deb would understand. For those of you who did not know Deborah Blais, you likely know or knew someone in your life who has had a similar effect on you as Deb Blais had on me. These are the people who spark joy in your life. There has been a lot of attention paid recently to “tidying up” your life by only keeping things that spark joy in your life. The discussion revolves around a best-selling book called Spark Joy and refers to physical items such as clothing or furniture, but I want to extend the discussion to include people who spark joy in your life. For me, Deb was one of those people. “There’s only one place I’d rather be. Nowhere.” This became our mantra during the annual Kimberley ‘Snow Fiesta’ curling bonspiel. Deb and I seemed to be on the same wavelength when it came to curling and the Snow Fiesta. We simply loved to be there. It got to the point where I would just look at Deb while we were on the ice and say, “Deb?....” and she would say, “I know. Nowhere!” Then, about three years ago, I read about a ’55 year old woman’ who drowned tragically in a pond at a local golf course. I was at work when I read the story, and stunned when I read the name. Deborah Marie Blais. What? Impossible. Deb is not 55! Deb is eight, and she is 12 and she is 32 and she could be 102! Deb is ageless. She can’t be dead. Deb was taken from all of us too soon. Death is a reality of life as we know it, and it happens all the time. Of course Deb was ‘just a person.’ But when it comes down to the individuals who die and influence us every day, there is no such thing as ‘just a person.’ Especially not when it came to Deb. Deb sparked joy. When I learned Deb had passed away there was first disbelief, then shock, then sadness. But before too long there was joy once again. Joy that I had known her. Joy that in this crazy world I was fortunate enough to be a small part of Deb’s world. Joy that I knew Deb for the amazing person she was. And joy in knowing that I will be a better person for the rest of my life for having known Deb Blais. The bad news is, Deb is gone from this earth. The good news is, Deb lives on in those of us who knew her, and there are more Debs out there in the world. Ok, there will never really be another Deb like Deb Blais, but there are other people all over the
world in every continent and every country and in every religion and in every tucked away corner of this earth who possess a similar spark of life; the ability to spark joy. Whether you knew Deb or not, you most likely can think of someone like the Deb I am describing. And my hope is that everyone reading this will take a moment of their day – everyday – to pause for even a brief moment and remember the ‘Debs’ in your life. People who make you smile just by thinking of their name. People who spark joy in your life. Deb – I love you and I miss you. I am a better person for knowing you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being you. You will always be with me and with all those who knew you. For anyone who wishes to learn more about my dear friend and a soul mate, MacLean’s magazine did a fine job summarizing Deb’s life. As quoted by her sister, “People were her food. She needed them as much as they needed her.” http://www. macleans.ca/s ociety/deborah-marie-blais/ Jeff Cooper Kimberley
Benefits for Refugees
Recently I had to go to the dentist with a bad tooth. Without any benefits, I had been putting this off for some time. When it was mentioned that they hadn’t seen me for quite awhile, I explained that my wife and I were now retired on a limited income without any benefits, the comment to me was “it’s too bad you aren’t a Syrian refugee as you would have it all covered.” It’s really hard to accept that two people living, working and paying taxes in this country their whole lives do not have the same benefits as those who are just getting here as refugees and have yet to contribute a dime to our society. This would never have happened with a Conservative government. For those that are still enamored with this new government of ours, I challenge you to justify this. You won’t, because there isn’t any justification for this travesty. As a side note, I asked our MP Wayne Stetski to look into this about 6 weeks ago and have heard nothing from him. The only thing I heard is a political message from his assistant. Neil Matheson Cranbrook
Wolf cull underway in northeast after Kootenay hunt C anadian Press
British Columbia’s controversial helicopter hunt for wolves meant to save endangered caribou herds has shifted from the Kootenays to the northeast. The Resource Operations Ministry said in a statement
Monday, FEBRuary 22, 2016 Page 5
Friday that the cull in the South Selkirk region ended recently, but it will not provide current wolf-kill figures until both hunts are complete. The ministry said the aerial wolf hunt is now underway in the northeast’s South Peace region, near Chetwynd.
Earlier this year, the government said it planned to shoot 200 wolves in the second year of its five-year plan to save endangered caribou herds. The ministry rejects claims by B.C.’s Wildlife Defence League that all wolves in the South Selkirk area were killed

On the heels of an 11-1 loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings, head coach Luke Pierce said his team didn’t work and they needed to do that Friday in Regina. Despite falling 7-5 to the Regina Pats (27-233-4), the Kootenay Ice did just that, battling to the bitter end, coming up just short. “It was night and day,” Pierce said Sunday after returning from Saskatchewan. “It was like taking a peewee team Wednesday and then watching a real Western Hockey League team play on Friday. “Considering the lineup we had, guys stepped up and filled in real well.” Friday in Regina, the Ice went without forwards Jesse Zaharichuk (illness), Max Patterson (undisclosed), Austin Wellsby (upper body) and Dylan Stewart (upper body). Ultimately, it was a pair of Pats dealing the heaviest damage, as defenceman Connor Hobbs registered three goals and an assist while centre Adam Brooks potted two tallies and four helpers.
Meanwhile, hometown boy Zak Zborosky put forth a strong effort for the Ice, registering two goals and an assist of his own. “He played with a ton of energy,” Pierce said of Zborosky. “It was his first time this year playing in front of lots of family and friends. He just had some extra jump, but for the most part, he did what we talked about all game, which was just making sure we were getting above pucks defensively and he created some offense from that. “He was real responsible throughout the game… But we can’t keep relying on those guys [Zborosky and Matt Alfaro]. It played into Saturday.” Friday proved a backand-forth affair from start to finish. Hobbs gave his team its first two-goal lead of the game 4:19 into the third period, sending his hat-trick marker past younger brother and Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs for a 6-4 Regina advantage. Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky pulled his club back within one goal in the final minute of regulation before Pats

forward Austin Wagner sealed the outcome with an empty-net marker as time wound down. Also providing offense for the visitors were Shane Allan and Noah Philp. At the end of the night, the younger Hobbs made 31 saves between the pipes, while Tyler Brown turned aside 26 of 31 shots to backstop the Pats. Saturday in Swift Current, the Ice managed to stake out a 2-1 lead through 40 minutes of play before burning out in the third period as the Broncos (21-30-4-3) registered three unanswered goals to claim a 4-2 victory. The game-winning goal came off the stick of Broncos forward Tyler Steenbergen on a play that appeared to be offside at the Kootenay blueline. The offside play went undetected by officials as Steenbergen collected his 16th of the season to snap a 2-2 tie with 14:25 to go in regulation. “The winning goal was a real tough one to take,” Pierce said. “It was pretty clearly offside, I think everyone in the arena saw it except the officials. In a 2-2 game that’s a real tough one to handle. But at the same time, the refs are going to make mistakes as we do. Unfortunately, we made too many of them in the third [period].” Broncos forward

Glenn Gawdin scored with 35 seconds remaining in regulation to give the home team all the insurance it needed. The Broncos opened the scoring on a bizarre play. Affiliate defenceman Dom Schmiemann sent a long dump-in attempt from centre ice off the glass just inside the Ice blue line. As goaltender Wyatt Hoflin vacated the cage to play the puck, it ricocheted off a stanchion and into the open net for Schmiemann’s first-career WHL goal. Dallas Hines and Zak Zborosky combined to give the Ice a 2-1 lead through 40 minutes of play. Hoflin was stellar once again, making 40 saves to give his team a shot Saturday evening. At the other end, Broncos goaltender Taz Burman made 24 saves for the win. Making their WHL debuts this weekend were twins Keenan and Kaeden Taphorn. There was plenty to like from the 16-yearold prospects, who showed good instinct and drive in their first tastes of WHL hockey. “There’s a lot to like. Both boys show some natural hockey sense that is beyond a lot of kids at their age,” Pierce said. “They did some things instinctively that we’ve been continuing to work on with our guys even to this point in the year. That’s really encouraging. “They were smart and simple and kept the game basic, which is exactly what we need from our group. They skate well, they had a couple chances Saturday and I think they’ve got a real bright future.” Both Taphorn boys skated Friday and Saturday, collecting no points over the weekend. They have since been returned to the Yorkton AAA Maulers of the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League. The Ice (10-44-5-0) return to Cranbrook to open a three-game home stand, beginning Wednesday (7 p.m.) when the Wheat Kings (37-17-2-2) visit Western Financial Place.

Captain Richter returns to lead Dynamiters to KIJHL crown After 17-game absence, Jason Richter returns from injury to score four goals in two games as Nitros claim league title Taylor Rocc a
Jason Richter missed 17 games with an upper-body injury, but if you watched him Friday night, you wouldn’t have known. The Kimberley Dynamiters captain returned to the lineup, leading his team to a decisive 8-0 victory over the Golden Rockets at the Kimberley Civic Centre before once again starring Saturday, guiding his club to a KIJHL crown-clinching 5-2 victory over the Fernie Ghostriders. “It was awesome, obviously I miss the game a whole lot,” Richter said with a smile following Friday’s win. “I forgot about how much fun it is being out there on the bench with the guys and hearing all the good support and positive that comes from our team. It was a great time. “Every game we won, I didn’t have a problem with [sitting out]. But every game we lost, it definitely hurt me quite a bit more.” It didn’t take long for the 5-foot-8 winger to find his groove. Only 2:47 had elapsed in the opening period before the Cranbrook native burned down the right wing, out skating a Golden defender before
sending a hot wrist shot past Rockets goaltender Owen Sikkes to give Kimberley a 1-0 lead. “His first shift shows what it’s all about and on his second shift he scores,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, regarding his captain. “His first shift, he ran two guys over. Our emphasis is you always need to finish your checks. So he led the way with that and set the tone for how it’s done. We’ve had trouble, when he’s been out, of getting the kids to buy into that. “He sets the tone for how we need to play and everybody picks it up. It was phenomenal to have him back.” After Eric Buckley doubled the advantage, Keenan Haase made it 3-0 with his parents in the crowd, visiting from Mission Viejo, Calif. Then Richter got back at it. Winning another foot race down the right side, the speedy captain spun and sent a behindthe-back pass to Tanner Wit who unleashed a booming slap shot past Sikkes for a 4-0 lead. “He’s the key member of this team,” goaltender Tyson Brouwer said of Richter. “I don’t
think I’ve ever seen or had a player impact a team as much as him. He got going 10 seconds into the game and I think it lifted the whole bench. “He is the heart and soul of this team and he will be come April.” Wit registered his second goal of the night only 27 seconds into the middle period, beating the 17-year-old Sikkes to a loose puck before sliding it home. Later in the period, Franco Colapaolo found open ice in front of the net and managed to put one more past Sikkes for a 6-0 Kimberley lead. Mercifully, Rockets head coach Jason Stephens got out the hook, relieving Sikkes of his duties for the night with 8:21 remaining in the second period, sending in 17-year-old old Keyon Bittner to mop up. Korbyn Chabot extended the advantage to 7-0 early in the third period before Richter finished what he started, registering his second goal of the evening to bookend the 8-0 victory. All but forgotten at the other end of the rink was Brouwer, who made 24 saves to collect his KIJHL-leading eighth shutout and 31st victory of the campaign.

Nitros captain Jason Richter celebrates his second goal of the game Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. The Cranbrook native returned to the lineup after missing 17 games due to an upper-body injury. With 66 wins to his credit (2013-14 to 201516), Brouwer becomes the winningest goaltender in Dynamiters history, surpassing his predecessor, Jeremy Mousseau. “It’s special, especially wins, because you do it as a team,” Brouwer said. “It’s a personal stat, but to compile 66 wins over three years with a different group of guys every year, that’s something special. I’m glad I was able to share all those wins with them. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. “It’s kind of surreal and a little emotional. From my first year on, I’ve got nothing but fond memories with my billets, the coaching staff — everything is first-class here in Kim-
berley. It’s always sad when your season — especially your 20-yearold season — comes to an end. But I’m looking forward to the future.” Saturday, the Nitros laid claim to the KIJHL regular-season title, claiming a 5-2 victory over the Ghostriders at the Elk Valley Leisure Centre in Sparwood. Richter was up to his old tricks once again as he scored the game-winning goal in the second period before icing the victory with an empty-net tally in the third. For Richter, a recent commit to the University of Jamestown, his game-winning goal Saturday even goes into the books as the 200th point of his KIJHL career. Over 180 career games (2011-12 to 2015-

16), Richter registered 104 goals and 201 points. “He only knows one way — every practice, every game it’s 100 per cent,” Bancks said of Richter. “Of all the years I’ve been coaching… his work ethic is phenomenal. He has the heart of an Olympian, in my opinion. “His effort is unbelievable. It never wavers. This is my fifth or sixth year with [Richter] and I’ve never seen him not go 100 per cent… Everybody in this whole community and town have benefitted from him.” Mitch Traichevich earned the win in net, turning aside 31 Fernie shots, while Jeff Orser stopped 28 of 32 shots for the Ghostriders. In 2016-17, Richter will head to the upstart University of Jamestown Jimmies ACHA Div. I hockey program, alongside Brouwer, Buckley and defenceman Justin Meier. “I’m pumped up, I’ve gained such a bond with
those guys that it was a pretty easy choice to decide to go there with them,” Richter said. “I didn’t hesitate at all.” The triumph sent the Dynamiters to a KIJHL-best regular season record of 41-7-0-4 (86 points) giving Kimberley home-ice advantage throughout the 2016 post-season. The Osoyoos Coyotes (40-9-1-1, 82 points) wrap up the regular season Sunday evening and will finish second in the race for the league crown. With the Columbia Valley Rockies (30-22-00) defeating the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (33-15-2-2) Saturday night, all of this combines to make for a firstround playoff matchup between the Dynamiters and Ghostriders. Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23 (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Confusion marks this day, along with very different points of view. A good place for you to be is where controversy exists. Seeds of better ideas often come from working with these differences. Try to understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Keep the discussion going. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Full Moon today promises many changes and possibilities. You might wonder which way you should go, as you are on the verge of making a long-term dream a reality. A new friend could be distracting. Tonight: Let go of what seems irritating. Go for what you desire most. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be viewed as a bit of a stick in the mud. Yes, you! You can’t seem to veer from your position, even though someone presents an inspired idea. You might feel as if there are no answers that would please everyone. At least make an effort. Tonight: Homeward bound.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to a loved one at a distance who often presents a different point of view. Good news surrounds this person. You might feel as if there are no answers that work for you so far. Be open to working with several different approaches. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of what is going on with an emotional issue that seems to play a significant role in your well-being. You could feel as if logic and levelheadedness are on your side. A friend might be so idealistic that you worry about his or her choices. Tonight: Run some errands first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Despite some adversity and differences of opinion, you seem impervious to the ups and downs of the moment. You feel very secure and on-target right now. Your energy is at its peak, and you won’t mind a lively discussion about any matter. Tonight: Beam in what you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be more in touch
Tundra
with others and their differing opinions. How you handle a personal matter could be less successful today than how you would approach it in a few days. If you’re feeling unsure of yourself, play the waiting game. Tonight: Take some personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your eye on the big picture as well as on a long-term goal. You could be distracted by a child or loved one, but pleasantly so. You might have some difficulty balancing all the different interests that pop up today. Tonight: Ask, and expect to receive what you want! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to have a discussion with an associate who seems a bit overloaded. You can identify with this person, but you have chosen to prioritize your life differently, and therefore can absorb and disseminate information with greater ease. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How you handle a personal matter could change with more perspective and empathy. You
might be working on a more intuitive level that could distract you from logic and details. You’ll need to carefully weigh the information you receive. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a partner directly, and listen to his or her logic. Your impression of this person’s message could be substantially different from what you are actually hearing. Some of the information you hear might not be grounded. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, and listen to what they have to say. It appears as if no matter how attentive you try to be, your mind drifts to other topics or selects only part of what you are hearing to work with. You might want to figure out what is distracting you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am hoping to retire in six years. I have been investing some money through my job and have accumulated a comfortable amount. My wife had a similar fund at her job, but took the money out a few years ago. She says she doesn’t know where she spent it, but I’m pretty sure it went to her daughter (from another marriage), the same place the rest of her money goes. We have our own checking accounts, because I was tired of being broke all the time. When I retire, I would like to move to North Carolina. I know that my wife will never leave her grandchildren. I can’t take money out of my retirement account without her signature and I have no idea how she managed to empty her account without my signature, but she did. Can you give me some advice before the time comes? -- Soon to Retire in Florida Dear Florida: We aren’t sure what you are asking. You already know that your wife is not going to abandon her daughter and the grandchildren. So, it seems you are willing to leave her, but you are concerned that she won’t release the money from your retirement account. If she gained access to either retirement account without authorization, talk to someone at your bank or to a lawyer. But ask yourself whether moving to North Carolina is more important than your marriage. And if you divorce her, would the money in your retirement account be split anyway? Is there room for compromise? Please tell your wife what your wishes are regarding your retirement and ask for her input. Would she be willing to come to North Carolina part of the time? If so, would that be a tolerable arrangement? You seem to have a less-than-loving relationship that you can work on if you choose. A lot can happen in six years. Dear Annie: You printed several responses to the letter from “Please Leave Animals at Home,” about service animals in public places. I work in a clinic and am well-aware that there are service dogs and other types of therapy animals out there. Service animals have their place. However, let me point out that a “service vest” can be ordered online (as can a doctor’s note), and that there are many people who just want to bring their pets everywhere, regardless of whether it is healthy for others. We are told not to ask whether the animal is a service animal for fear of offending the patient and being accused of discriminating against those with disabilities. Having an untrained animal in the clinic is not healthy or sanitary. Many of our patients come in with real medical problems, and are then subjected to a waiting room with an animal circus. The trained service animals that come into our clinic are welcome. I wish the others would be kept at home. -- Train Your Animals Dear Train: Service animals are trained and acceptable (and legal) everywhere. The problem is untrained comfort animals, still a gray area. Who gets precedence -- the person claiming an emotional disability requiring a comfort animal or his neighbor in the condo with a serious traumatic aversion to dogs? Or a child with a life-threatening allergy? We don’t have the answers and right now, it seems no one else does, either.

The debate about the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort has been so long-running that the topic has become fodder for academic study, and local residents will get a chance to hear about it firsthand when a University of Victoria professor who completed his doctoral dissertation on the controversy visits the East Kootenay next week to give a presentation on the issue. Cam Owens’ areas of research include land use conflict and decision making processes, and sustainable development. The 25-year old Jumbo debate made the ideal sole case study for his PhD, which examined B.C.’s environmental assessment process, on which he worked from 2006 to 2011. Mr. Owens — the only person in province with what could be called a degree in Jumbo — will be in Cranbrook on Tuesday, February 23rd as the keynote speaker for the Columbia Mountains Institute of Applied Ecology’s environmental and social assessment forum. “I wanted to understand what had confounded the review (process for the proposed resort) so as to drag on over a couple decades and gain a multi-perspectival understanding of the controversy surrounding the proposal,”

he told The Pioneer, adding that, as part of his research, he spent a summer in Invermere interviewing key players in the Jumbo debate (both supporters and opponents), as well as another summer in Victoria interviewing government officials involved with the environmental assessment process. The list of interviewees — nearly 40 in total — reads like a who’s who of Jumbo, and includes Grant Costello, Oberto Oberti, Kathryn Teneese, Gerry Taft, Greg Deck, Alan Artibise, Psyche Brown, Bob Campsall, Arnor Larson, Jim Galloway, Dee Conklin, Ray Crook, Dean Martin, Rowena Eloise, Cam Gillies, Meredith Hamstead, Norm MacDonald, Christy Madson (Roger Madson’s daughter), Al Miller, Pat Morrow, David Pacey, Dave Quinn and Nolan Rad, among many others. In his dissertation, Mr. Owens examines how the conflict can be described as competing representations of eight different models of justice — spatial; market; industrial (technical-rational planning); civic (equality, access and solidarity); domestic (tradition and locality); inspirational; renown (fame and public opinion); and green. Mr. Owens devotes ample space in his dissertation to the perspectives of both resort supporters and opponents, which he told The Pioneer is more than just attempting to achieve a balanced approach as an academic, saying “I have a strong conservation ethic and fairly progressive political views, but also grew up in Calgary with a conservative dad and studied with some pretty conservative professors through University of Calgary political science, and thus I pride myself on empathizing with multiple perspectives.” This balanced approach is in some ways similar to what was attempted with Sweetgrass’ Jumbo Wild documentary, which will be screened at the forum prior to Mr. Owens’ speech.
“In the movie, Nick Wagoner, the director, positions the mountain as a mirror reflecting back the different values, assumptions and stories of those looking upon it. In my talk, I want to build on this, using my research around the Jumbo review to explore the different ways people have come to imagine this place — the Jumbo Valley or Qat’muk — and what they think should be done there,” he said. “I will use a number of stories from the years of struggle around the Jumbo review, in the end hoping to make this point that environmental assessment is inescapably political — it is not a science, it is based on values, assumptions etc. — and that we need to acknowledge this and ensure that it is an effective forum for fair, inclusive and constructive deliberation.” Another similarity between Mr. Owens’ dissertation and the Jumbo Wild film is that, while both seek and showcase viewpoints from supporters and opponents, the creators of both ultimately leave their project with the personal opinion that the planned resort should not go ahead. Although Mr. Owens doesn’t offer this opinion in his concluding “Reflections” section of the dissertation, he says in the “Epilogue” that he thinks Jumbo should not be approved: “given the scale of local opposition, which I take to be diverse and well-informed.” He points out that First Nations opinion on the project is divided (with the Shuswap Indian Band supportive of it, and the Ktunaxa opposed), but adds “I believe the Ktunaxa’s claim to this land and the recognition of its sacredness needs to be met affirmatively with humility and respect.” The forum in Cranbrook requires registration, but the film screening and keynote speech — both held at the Cranbrook College of the Rockies campus — are open to the public, with tickets available for a small fee and the door opening at 6:30 p.m.
