CBC BEARCAT ATHLETICS

The College of the Rockies has its first Provincial Championship. The Avalanche Women’s Team took Gold in Abbottsford on Saturday, in a thrilling come from behind victory over the top-ranked Vancouver Island University. The Men’s team finished the championship tournament in fourth place. See more in Sports, Page 6. Above: The Lady Avalanche with the trophy following their victory.

After months of rehab, a bald eagle captured out by Fort Steele was able to spread her wings and return to the wilderness.

Back in September, a local couple out for a walk on the west side of the Kootenay River no-ticed the eagle after their dog took off after it. Now, after re-habbing since September down in the Lower Mainland, the eagle was flown back up to Cranbrook

and released close to where it was captured.

Rebekah Quennell and Mike Weitzel captured the bird of prey during a walk out along the west side of the Kootenay River in late September, after spending a couple hours chasing it from both sides of the riverbank.

““We were just hanging out on the beach and noticed the dog was going after something out on a log in the river and we

went over there and he was try-ing to get an eagle,” Weitzel said. “We couldn’t figure out why the eagle wasn’t flying away because it was jumping in the water to get away from the dog.”

They eventually split up to cover both sides, as the eagle kept swimming across back and forth a few times, unable to fly away because of its injured wing.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYThe finalists for the Kootenay

Granite Stone Soup Challenge have been set.

Chef Rusty Cox of The Heidout Restaurant and Brewhouse will meet Chef Graham Barnes of Max’s Place in the title matchup of the event.

Cox earned his berth in the finals after winning a close 28-25 vote against Carmen Alaric, the resident chef of the Salvation Army in the semifinals on Friday.

Chef Cox won the vote with his

creation of a beef and pork with but-ternut squash, with Chef Alaric chal-lenged with a cream of broccoli and cheddar soup.

Nearly every chef in the competi-tion knew that it’s difficult to come in with a plan, as the Salvation Army fridges and pantries may not have the correct ingredients for a soup planned in advance.

Four alpine skiers from Kimberley and Cranbrook and their coach were airborne early Sunday morning for Cornerbrook, Newfoundland as part of Team BC’s contingent in the 2016 Special Olympic National Winter Games. They are also competing for the right to be chosen as part of Team Canada to participate in the 2017 World Winter Games in Austria. Their progress can be followed at www.specialolympics.bc.ca, where there is a link to the National Games in Cornerbrook.

For the townsmanThe City of Cran-

brook is looking forward to their partnership with the Regional District of

the East Kootenay (RDEK) and the Kelow-na Fire Department as they shift their dispatch services to the City of Kelowna beginning May 30.

On Wednesday, the RDEK and City of Kelowna announced the signing of the new fire dispatch contract, approved for $1,084,877 over five years which will provide dispatch and records manage-ment for the 16 fire de-partments located in the RDEK – including the City of Cranbrook.

“Discussions be-tween the City of Cran-brook and the RDEK have been ongoing for close to a year now, in anticipation of the expi-ry of our current dis-patch contract,” says Scott Driver, Deputy Di-rector of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services. “After an exhaustive look at the current dis-

patch delivery model, and the introduction of new Fire Service Regu-lations, it was deter-mined that the City of Cranbrook would not seek to renew its dis-patch contract with the Regional District of East Kootenay.”

City staff identified that the community would be more effec-tively served by the fire department if it were to focus efforts on local emergency response and prevention activi-ties.

“This led us into a partnership with the RDEK to find a dispatch provider for the region, beginning this spring,” Driver said. “The pro-cess resulted in a con-tract being awarded to Kelowna Fire Depart-ment thatmeets the needs of our entire re-gion and at a rate that we could not compete with locally.”

Eagle released back into wildWeitzel was able to

get Sioux Browning, a volunteer with O.W.L. (Orphaned Wildlife Re-habilitation Society) on the phone, who came out with a cage and some equipment to capture it.

After criss-crossing the river a few times, Weitzel said the eagle was getting tired and managed to get caught in some driftwood on the beach, which al-lowed him to approach it with a heavy towel.

Weitzel circled out into the river and head-ed towards the eagle so that if it ran, it would be away from the water, while Quennell ap-proached from a differ-ent direction.

With the eagle caught up in the drift-wood, Weitzel was able to get the towel over her head and wings and bear-hugged it before running up the beach to the cage — all with-out a scratch from the beak or razor-sharp tal-ons.

From there, Brown-ing got the eagle onto a Pacific Coastal Airlines flight the next day — a service they provide to O.W.L for free — where it was shipped to a re-habilitation facility in Delta.

“She had an injured wing and they were able to fix it surgically,” Browning said. “Then they put her into rehab, basically, so they have a series of increasingly larger flight cages and they just basically re-train her in how to fly.”

On Friday, Browning and volunteers, along with Quennell and Weitzel headed back out to the Kootenay River after the fully-re-habbed eagle was flown back to Cranbrook.

Out beside the Wild-horse River tributary, the two who had cap-tured the raptor so many months ago, opened the door to the cage to set her free again.

After a few tentative

steps, the eagle left the cage and immediately spread her wings to take flight, disappear-ing from view after en-tering the forest.

Browning heaped

praise on the help from Quennell and Weitzel for their help in captur-ing the eagle.

“This is easily the toughest rescues I’ve done so far and I

couldn’t have done it without these guys, for sure,” Browning said. “They were 100 per cent.”

“First and foremost, I thought about the guests that were going to be here,” Cox said. “Still considered winter right now, they need something healthy that will warm them up and keep their stomaches full, so that’s what I started off of.”

Now, Chef Cox will be going up against Chef Barnes; the two ended up facing each other in the first round of last year’s event.

“It was different last year; last year I got knocked out second round and Graham and I went head to head first round, so know it’s kind of our retribution on both of our parts to make it this year,” Cox said.

“It’s a lot of fun and it’s a great cause.”

Chef Cox said he is looking forward to a laid-back final on Wednesday, as the two finalists know each other pretty well.

“It’ll be like two guys sitting at home drinking

a beer,” he said. “We worked together back in ’99-2001 so we have a lot of history between us.”

The two have a bud-get of $125 to gather all their ingredients to make any soup their heart desires for the final event, which will go down on Wednesday, March 2, at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort from noon - 1:30 p.m.

Soups will be judged by previously eliminat-ed chefs—six of them over the last two weeks—as well as a cou-ple guest and celebrity judges.

VAUGHN PALMERVancouver Sun

As Premier Christy Clark tells it, her attitudes about leadership, winning elections and media

relations were all shaped by what unfolded in 1991, a momentous year in B.C. political history.

The year that brought the New Demo-crats to power under Mike Harcourt and finished off Social Credit also saw the up-start B.C. Liberals under then leader Gor-don Wilson go from nowhere to official Opposition status.

Clark, who turned 26 that year, was in the thick of things as a Liberal party orga-nizer and all-around keener.

“As a political activist I realized that the ’91 election had fundamentally changed politics in B.C. and that we had been part of it,” she says. “When you’re seen as a perennial underdog; the predicted loser; written off as irrelevant, and then you fi-nally prevail, it makes you appreciate that anything is possible. You’re just driven to prove people wrong.”

The quote is from a lengthy interview with Clark in On the Edge of the Ledge, a recent book on the rise of the B.C. Liberal party by Wilf Hurd. Hurd was among the first wave of Liberals elected in 1991 and briefly overlapped with Clark after she made the transition from staffer to MLA in 1996.

While the book recounts in detail how the also-ran Liberals transformed them-selves into the party of choice on the cen-tre right, some of the more telling insights are supplied by Clark herself.

She credits the prove-the-doubters-wrong experience of the 1991 campaign with stiffening her resolve in her first two “terrible” years as party leader and pre-mier, when pollsters, pundits and party members alike were writing her off.

“I was being hammered every day by the media; and by some of my own guys; and it never seemed to show signs of let-ting up,” she told author Hurd. “But I think

I always knew that if I could make an op-portunity to carry the election on my own shoulders and make my own case to Brit-ish Columbians, we could still win. Be-cause that’s what Wilson succeeded in doing. He essentially won that election even though we ended up in Opposition.”

Clark and Wilson fell out in the 1990s when he quit the Liberals after losing the leadership to Gordon Campbell and later took a cabinet post in the New Democratic Party government. But she clearly regards Wilson as more of a role model, never mind that she served with Campbell in the house for almost 10 years.

“I always viewed Gordon Wilson as a political force of nature,” says Clark. “I saw first hand how hard he worked and how often he was out there shaking hands. No matter what the setback, he was prepared to work even harder.”

She cites Wilson, whom her govern-ment has lately employed as a $150,000-a-year advocate on liquefied natural gas, as inspiration for her own winning campaign against Adrian Dix and the New Democrats in 2013.

“The leader can carry an election and we often underestimate this … I felt that people needed to see me, to hear what I stood for and to learn where I thought the province needed to go. I wanted to make people understand who I really was, with-out the media filter, and that my mission wasn’t just about ‘fighting with the other guys’ it was to explain and define our mis-sion.”

Speaking of the media filter, the 1991 experience supplied her with a healthy perspective in that regard as well.

“The media and particularly the press gallery in Victoria just trashed Wilson,” recalled Clark. “They wrote him off as ir-relevant with no mainstream connections and backers and not up to the task.”

I covered that campaign and would note that the coverage was even rougher on Social Credit, while Wilson benefited from favourable burst of coverage late in

the campaign. But these are Clark’s mem-oirs, not mine.

“What I now understand about the media is that they’re not as influential and relevant to the outcome in politics as they think they are and often tell people they are,” says the premier. “They are not able to shape public opinion about a lot of things, because people make their own judgments.”

Clark formed lasting political bonds in 1991, starting with the “now legendary road trip” where she and fellow organizer Mike McDonald toured the province drafting candidates to fill out the Liberal slate.

Once, after lining up a nominee over the phone, she confided to McDonald only half jokingly: “I sure hope that candi-date wasn’t phoning from the jailhouse because I just approved his candidacy and I don’t know anything about him.”

McDonald remains an ally to this day, manager of her successful bid for the party leadership and later of the 2013 election.

“A lot of the people who are being given credit as being the campaign geniuses from 2013 are personal friends of mine whom I personally recruited into the party or encouraged to come to B.C. and join us,” says Clark. “Because you share such huge highs and such terrible, tragic lows, it really tests all your friends. You get to know people and you draw strength from them to get you through the down times because of your shared experiences to-gether.”

She and the Liberals have of course broadened their support from those days, recruiting more than a few old Socreds, Conservatives, Reformers and others to their cause. Still the clear impression that emerges from Hurd’s book is of a band of outsiders who crashed the system and made themselves the political establish-ment of today.

Lady Avs tops at Provincials; Men finish fourthBarry CoulterTownsman Editor

Fifteen years after the inception of College of the Rockies Avalanche Volleyball, there is gold coming to Cranbrook.

The COTR Women’s Avalanche are PacWest-Provincial Champions, after an intense come-from-behind five-set vic-tory over the top-ranked Vancouver Island Uni-versity Mariners, and are now off to the National Championships in Prince Edward Island, along with the Mariners.

The Men’s team fin-ished the championship tournament in fourth. Provincials this year were hosted by Colum-bia Bible College in Ab-bottsford.

The Lady Avs, ranked sixth going into the tour-nament, reached the gold medal spot after a series of upsets — bury-ing the number-three ranked Camosun Col-lege Chargers on Thurs-day, the number-two ranked Capilano Blues on Friday, and finally the Mariners on Saturday.

On Saturday, the Mariners pulled out to a two sets to none lead. But the Avs battled back to win the third set 25-22, and the fourth set 25-20.

“VIU was fantastic at the beginning — serving well, just very disci-

plined,” Avs coach John Swanson told Ryan Wat-ters of PacWest. “We were down 12-4 at one point, but we didn’t panic. We just chipped away.

“Losing the first set wasn’t easy, but the comeback and the mo-mentum was just huge. And they’ve been like that all year — it’s been incredible effort and a never-say-die attitude.”

Outstanding passing was the key, Swanson told Watters, and re-marked on the point where the momentum began to shift in the Avs’ favour.

“Any coach would say the game always comes down to serving and passing. We were stuggling at moments, and VIU’s a very good serving team … they find the people they want to serve to. So as coaches, we challenge some of our players to expect the ball. And you go back to the little things, the skill sets and the small little notes.

The passing got bet-ter, Swanson said, “and then we have the option of getting [the ball] to any of our hitters. Then it’s hard for the opposi-tion because they have to cover multiple hitters.”

After winning the fourth set to tie the match was set for a fur-

nace of a sudden death 15-point fifth set. And Swanson told the play-ers to play aggressively.

“It’s all about mo-mentum,” he said. “We won the fourth set, and it’s important when you start a new set to keep that momentum going. And because it’s 15 points, you have to be aggressive — you can’t play safe. If they block us or if we hit it out we can live with that be-cause our motto is ‘just stay aggressive.’ And also being smart — don’t go after shots if they aren’t there, and don’t get into tipping and don’t get into rolls.

“The fifth set is always a flip of the coin anyway.”

Swanson said Ari Benwell was serving well for the Avalanche in the fifth set.

“In a short set like that, if we get a couple of passing errors on the other side, the stress just elevates and we keep putting the pressure on.”

The Avs took the fifth set 15-10 to win gold. Five of the Avalanche players had at least 10 kills, led by tournament MVP Kelsey Thompson. And Alexa Koshman was the difference maker with 26 digs to lead the team.

The COTR Avalanche will join the VIU Mari-ners in representing B.C.

at the 2016 CCAA Wom-en’s Volleyball National Championship, March 9-12, at Holland College in Prince Edward Island.

On the Men’s side, VIU also medalled, tak-ing the bronze medal match over the College of the Rockies Ava-lanche.

Pacwestbc.ca report-ed that the Men’s Mari-ners played outstanding defence, knowing the Avalanche were without their best player, Patrik Toze, who was sidelined with a lower body inju-ry. Avalanche played a gritty match without Toze, but the Mariners collected 14 blocks frus-trating the Avalanche, and would go on to win 25-16, 27-25 and 25-21.

But the Men’s squad also shone throughout the tournament, falling just short of a Cinderella finish. The Men’s Avs, ranked fifth going into provincials, upset the No. 4 University of Fras-er Valley Cascades. Pacwestbc.ca reported that the the Avs were down 24-19 in the fourth set, but “stormed back to win the set and the match 26-24, punching their ticket to the semi.”

The Camosun Char-gers won the Men’s semi in three sets, 25-19. 25-19 and 25-17, during which Toze sustained his injury.

Hoflin becomes Ice all-time saves leader

Veteran goaltender establishes new franchise saves record Fridaytaylor roCC a

Sports Editor

With Wyatt Hoflin 20 saves from establishing a new Kootenay Ice franchise record, the countdown was on Fri-day night at Western Fi-nancial Place.

During the second period of play, the 21-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., es-tablished a new Koote-nay Ice franchise record for saves, turning aside defenceman Chance Patterson to make his 20th stop of the night against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

On the play, Patter-son sent a long, booming slap shot from the point in on the Kootenay net. In typical Wyatt Hoflin fashion, the veteran goaltender calmly and cooly booted out a leg to kick out the puck, mak-ing his 4,189th career stop to surpass Nathan Lieuwen as the Koote-nay Ice all-time fran-chise leader for saves.

The achievement didn’t go without recog-nition, as all those in at-tendance gave the hum-ble netminder a warm standing ovation when the announcement was

made at the next stop-page.

By the end of the weekend, Hoflin pushed his franchise-leading total to 4,230 saves (and counting).

“It’s huge for me, from where I came from to where I am now is leaps and bounds,” Hof-lin said Friday night. “It’s a reward for the hard work I’ve put in.

“It’s been a learning experience, really. It is a development league for a reason. That’s exactly what I did when I came here. The things you learn along the way, the

experiences you go through to get to where you are when you leave the Western Hockey League, it’s unbeliev-able.”

Hoflin’s record-set-ting save was the ulti-mate highlight in an oth-erwise forgettable night for the Kootenay Ice as they went on to fall 6-2 to the Edmonton Oil Kings in front of 2,593 fans on Pink the Rink anti-bully-ing night at Western Fi-nancial Place.

“That’s what’s so dis-appointing about the night, I know it’s hard to have any night be spe-cial with the way our year has gone, but you want to make this as memorable as you can for Wyatt,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Friday night. “It’s a huge ac-complishment that gets overshadowed and it’s unfortunate because it’s a big honour for him.

“His work ethic throughout this entire year to keep himself as an elite goaltender in our league, it’s some-thing I think some of our young guys maybe won’t appreciate until they’re running into their 20-year-old year.”

In a rebuilding year for a young hockey team, the veteran Hoflin has been a standout on a nightly basis.While most fans and pundits focus on statistics like goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts, often over-looked is the fact Hoflin sits third in the entire WHL with 1,445 saves to his credit to this point in the 2015-16 season.

“He’s a good friend of mine and I’ve played with him these last three

seasons,” said Ice alter-nate captain Matt Alfa-ro. “I’m really proud of the guy. I’m happy it’s him [holding the saves record]. He’s a great part of our team, he keeps us in games and he’s a great puck mover.

“He’s a great leader.”Despite his best ef-

forts, Hoflin’s presence wasn’t enough to steal a victory on this night as the Oil Kings scored three times in the sec-ond period to put the game all but out of reach.

Tyler Robertson, Lane Bauer, Dario Meyer, Brett Pollock, Davis Koch and Aaron Irving provided the of-fense for the Oil Kings, while Alfaro registered both goals for the Ice.

Saturday night, the Ice responded with a spirited effort against a high-flying Portland Winterhawks squad, but fell 4-3 in overtime as Latvian import Rihards Bukarts thrust the dag-ger with only 56 seconds remaining in the extra period.

“The fact that we’re that competitive in that game, and I understand it’s the end of their [road] trip and they’re probably a little slow,

but we played the ma-jority of the night with nine forwards and six defencemen,” Pierce said Saturday night. “Our guys were a little bit gassed, but our will compete and stay in it [is a positive].

“I thought we were a lot more responsible today. It gives you that little bit of encourage-ment that there’s still hope to keep working and that they want to get better and that we’re ca-pable of being a better team.

“It’s too bad you don’t get rewarded with a win. It’s hard to rein-force your message when you lose the game, but I think the guys will look back on it and real-ize they did a lot of good things.”

Pierce started the game one skater short before losing Roman Dymacek to injury late in the first period. Then in the early stages of the third period, defence-man Troy Murray left down the tunnel after a scary incident, that for the most part, went rela-tively undetected in the building.

Murray laid a heavy hit on Winterhawks for-ward Alex Schoenborn

in front of the Kootenay crease. Schoenborn went crashing into the post and appeared to take the worst of the im-pact on the play, but it was actually Murray who ended up on the scary end of the inci-dent.

Of no fault to Schoen-born, his skate came up as he was sent airborne and clipped the Ice de-fender in the neck. Ac-cording to Pierce, no major artery was struck and though there was plenty of blood, Murray is okay outside of need-

ing stitches and time to heal.

“That was a pretty scary incident,” Pierce said. “He took a skate to the throat and luckily it missed everything vital there. But a real scary incident for him and for our whole team. To see a guy leave the bench — there was a lot of blood and stuff going on — so it was good news to hear that he just needs some stitches, most likely.”

Alex Schoenborn scored twice and Blake Heinrich added the game-tying tally for the

Winterhawks. A reunited ‘A-to-Z’

line featuring Alfaro, Jesse Zaharichuk and Zak Zborosky combined for a pair of nice goals in the first period. While Alfaro did all the scoring Friday, it was Zahari-chuk and Zborosky con-verting Saturday.

Noah Philp added a second period marker to round out the home team’s scoring.

Hoflin was once again sharp, turning aside 28 shots in the overtime loss.

Nitros push ‘Riders to brinkFernie manages to extend series to Game 5 Monday in Kimberleytre vor Cr awley

Townsman Staff

The Kimberley Dyna-miters surged ahead to a 3-0 series lead over the Fernie Ghostriders, with a win by the same tally at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Friday night.

It was scoring by committee, as Trey Doell, Keenan Haase and Trevor Van Stein-burg hit the stats sheet while goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 28 saves to earn the shutout.

Pushed to the brink of elimination, the Ghostriders fought to live another day, earning a 3-1 triumph in Game 4 Saturday night at Fernie Memorial Arena.

Game 5 is set for Monday night (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The Dynamiters spe-cial teams came up huge with some key penalty kills, denying Fernie the chance to score on all seven of their power

plays Friday.“It’s all about goal-

tending and specialty teams,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks following Friday’s victo-ry. “Your best penalty killer is our goalie and our goalie’s been phe-nomenal, so our penalty kill’s been good.

“I like the effort in our penalty kill, I like the shot-blocking and ev-erything we do, which helps us.”

On the flip side of the penalty kill was the suc-cess of the power play, which was good for two goals in seven opportu-nities with the man-ad-vantage.

The emotion was on full display as well, with the Nitros going hard to the net after every save from Brandon Butler, which sometimes boiled over into more than pushing and shoving.

After a scoreless first period, the Nitros got on the board in the middle frame on a power play

goal from Doell, who teed up a drive from the blue line that redirected off a Fernie defender. Ini-tially the goal was credit-ed to Nitro forward Kor-byn Chabot, who was busy making life difficult for Butler in the crease.

That would be Doell’s first career playoff goal in a Dynamiter uniform.

At the 3:02 mark of the second, just as a Fernie penalty expired, Haase worked his way into the slot and snapped home a slick feed from Richter, who fed him from the goal line.

In the third period, the Nitros had a bit of a scare as Haase went down in the corner and headed to the bench, skating off under his own power after play was stopped.

The two teams con-tinued to trade stints in the penalty box in the final frame, but it was Van Steinburg who found the back of the net by redirecting a low

shot from James Farmer.“You just gotta keep

playing hard,” said Nitro captain Jason Richter. “The last 20 [minutes] going into the third there, during the inter-mission, we talked about how it’s the last 20 miles, we’re up 2-0 and we just have to bear down on all our clears, our dumps, pucks in, pucks out and just bear down.”

Saturday in Fernie, the Ghostriders received goals from Nolan Lagace and Aidan Wilson, with Evan Reid scoring into the empty net. Tanner Wit responded for the Dynamiters.

With Jeff Orser un-available, Butler took to the crease for his two starts of the series this weekend.

“You just have to make sure you focus on the moment,” Bancks said. “Don’t get too high, don’t get too low and every game is hard to win. It’s gonna be tough to win the fourth one.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone might see you as be-ing more easygoing than you really are. A disagreement could emerge later in the day. You will need to pull back some until your temper subsides. Fortu-nately, this does not happen fre-quently. Tonight: Let a partner or loved one steal center stage. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be so focused on a personal matter that you miss an important detail. Tempers might flare up; however, there is a way to work together.

Go along with a suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could quickly change your mind about a certain person. As a result, others might see you as being too changeable. You have the gift of being able to pick up on people’s emotions, perhaps even better than those who are experiencing them. Tonight: Know when to call it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your instinct will be to keep your opinions close to your chest. Do your best not to put too much pressure on a loved one, as this person could be working through some anger. Maintain self-discipline, but still remem-ber to express yourself. Tonight: Share your feelings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Make time for a long-overdue conversation. What you might hear is a lot of misconceptions that seem to have popped up from out of nowhere. You could experience some anger at being misunderstood. Tonight: Time to hang out and let go of recent squabbles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Still, you might feel the need to pay off several bills or make an important expenditure. Tonight: Enjoy someone else’s kind efforts toward you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be sorting through a lot of conflicting data that you have been told. Recognize that different people naturally will have different perception of the same event. Refuse to get into a quarrel with someone who keeps pushing you. Tonight: Be thoughtful of a family member. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Lie low during the day, as you are likely to see many different situations develop. You might not be sure which way would be best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know that you are best off in a group setting right now. Try not to be alone. You will find

an answer that works because of others’ suggestions. A male friend or associate could be very pushy. Refuse to respond to this person’s present mood. Tonight: Not to be found. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be willing to accept more re-sponsibility as you head in a key direction. Others will make helpful suggestions, or they will at least trigger conversations that point to new options. Be grateful for this group of associ-ates or friends. Tonight: You have a lot to smile about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Make calls to those who have a different mental position from yours. You have the ability to visualize much more than the majority of people around you. Use your imagination to visu-alize the results of proceeding in several different directions.

Dear Annie: People think they know how eating disorders start, but I want to share my story, which might surprise people. I never set out to have an eating disorder. In fact, I didn’t even set out to lose weight. However, after I took up running to relieve stress and ended up losing a few pounds, I was pleasantly surprised by how people reacted to me and how I felt about myself. Pretty soon, running became more of an obligation than something I did to relieve stress. Then, I became obsessed with everything I ate. I had to eat certain things at certain times of the day and it all had to be super healthy. My world was getting smaller and smaller, as I eliminated various foods and drinks. Being with friends who questioned my habits became too much effort, so I withdrew socially. Without friends around to keep me in check, the weight dropped off drastically and I became emaciated. I thought I was fine. Finally, my parents stepped in and threatened me with involuntary hospitalization, so I submitted to treatment. It wasn’t easy, and I mourned the loss of my hypercontrolled life. But it was worth it. Not only did it save my life, but also it enabled me to have a life filled with normal, fun activities that would not have been possible when I was sick. I remember the first time I went out for Mexican food with friends after my recovery. I ate enchiladas and drank a margarita and realized that I was rediscovering a life that I thought I had lost forever. I want people to know that treatment is effective. There is a great life out there waiting for them. -- Rachel Dear Rachel: Thank you. Eating disorders and body dissatisfaction affect men and women of all races and all walks of life. They have the highest rate of mortality of any mental illness. Unfortunately, of the 30 million men and women who suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder during their lifetime, only a small percentage seeks treatment. There are free and anonymous screenings available at MyBodyScreening.org, where you will be provided with local resources and can take the first step toward healing. We hope our readers and their loved ones will check it out. Dear Annie: Like “Bah, Humbug,” my family also includes people who are better off than others. At Christmas, we give to charity. We try to find a worthy cause that the relative would appreciate. My father likes to build things, so I might choose a bag of nails for Habitat for Humanity. For my brother, I once chose a portion of a donkey from the Heifer Project. He had great fun with that when people would ask him what he got. You could do this any time during the year and then send a card at Christmas telling the person of your gift in their honor. It leaves everyone with a good feeling, and they know they have helped others. -- No Stress Dear No Stress: This type of gift is a wonderful idea and can be tailored to anyone’s specific interests. As always, please check out the charity with one of the watchdog organizations such as charitynavigator.org, charitywatch.org or give.org.

Lawrence Gilbert Hunter

“Larry” - “L.G.” 1930 – 2016

He has considered Cranbrook his primary residence since that time. Also in December 1947 he met his future wife, Jessie Sparks.

LUZNY, Wade

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wade Luzny, CEO and Executive Vice-President of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Wade left us peacefully on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016 at the age of 61 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his mother Stephie Luzny (nee Menzul) and father Frank Luzny.

Wade will always be missed by his soul mate and wife Karen (nee Fyfe), cherished daughter, Olivia, and many family, friends and colleagues. Wade dedicated his life to many charitable and educational causes, leading the Canadian Wildlife Federation to new heights since 2005. Prior to this he worked with the multicultural community and government in Saskatchewan with many landmark achievements. Wade was a visionary, with the kind of leadership that comes from the heart. He won the Ernest Thomas Seton Award for the best conservation messaging medium for a film on wetland habitat while he was working for the Saskatchewan Department of Parks and Renewable Resources. He enjoyed travelling the world, meeting new people, mentoring youth, boating, skiing and spending time with family. Wade was not afraid to take risks and lived life to the fullest, always trying in any way possible to make the world a better place. He will be remembered for many things, but his top priority was encouraging and enabling youth to experience and appreciate the many wonders of nature.
