Selkirk ready to launch Food Bank driveSeaSon of gIVIng

$2 buys the chance for a

great prize and a Christmas

hamper for the Food Bank

C ArOLyN gr [email protected]

Each year, Kimberley residents give generous-ly to the Helping Hands Food Bank to support their Christmas hamper campaign. A big part of that effort every year comes from Selkirk Sec-ondary.

Students at Selkirk raise thousands every December to assist the Food Bank in making sure everyone in Kim-berley has a Christmas dinner. Last year, $7000 was raised. This year, Principal Cling Dolgop-ol is challenging stu-dents to do a little better than that. He’d like to see the students raise $8000, and the route to that number is having every student sell at least one book of tickets.

The ticket cost is $2 — a small price for the

chance to win either $1000, $500 or $250.

The winning tickets will be drawn on De-cember 21, 2012 at the schools Christmas as-sembly.

For further incentive, students can win prizes for selling tickets. The student who sells the first, second and third place tickets will each receive prizes. The top selling class will get a pizza party and the next two top selling classes will receive donuts and treats from Tim Hortons for the entire class.

The Food Bank do-nated 192 Christmas Hampers in 2011 to families in our commu-nity and we raised close to $7000 to assist in the donated Christmas Hampers. Christmas Hampers last year cost $32,000 and the entire cost was covered by fundraising through the community including Selkirk. The Food Bank is currently receiving many applications and the need is 7 per cent greater compared to previous years.

Phase I of flume project wraps soonC ArOLyN gr ANT

[email protected]

Phase I of the flume proj-ect will be completely wrapped up by the end of the year, says Kimberley Mayor

Ron McRae.The contractor, Copcan,

is currently finishing off both ends of the final piece of phase I, taking the rebuilt river bed up to just below BJ’s Restaurant.

McRae says the last thing the contractor will do this year is create the transition from the finished to unfin-ished portions of the flume. A house was removed just across from BJ’s which will

allow for widening of the creek bed to the bridge over Wallinger Ave. However, the bridge itself belongs to the Ministry of Transportation, not the City.

“Once we are done this

part, we will be finished with half the concrete portion of the flume,” he said. “But the flume project is not just the replacement of the cement, but the piece above it too.”

That portion will be dealt

with in the third phase. Creek water is currently

bypassing the project through pipes, but will be allowed to flow through the new creek bed by the end of the year, McRae said.

An international or-ganization is creating a worldwide wave of light on Sunday, Dec. 9, in memory of children who have died, of any age and of any cause.

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candlelighting takes place at 7 p.m., and the Cranbrook chapter of Compassionate Friends is taking part. This will be the Cranbrook Chapter’s second year of participation. It is the 16th year for the can-dlelighting worldwide.

The Compassionate Friends is an interna-tional, volunteer, self-

help organization offer-ing friendship, under-standing, a place to grieve and a place to find hope and help from those who have walked the path of be-reavement before.

The Worldwide Can-dle Lighting is believed to be the largest mass candlelighting on the globe. It creates a virtu-al 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families gather in quiet remem- grandchild or sibling,

The executive director of Wildsight is urging the federal government to reveal documentation con-firming the Dominion Coal Block is safe from mining and oil and gas development.

John Bergenske said he was delighted to hear MP David Wilks’ comments that a portion of the Dominion Coal Blocks found within the Flathead Valley Watershed is protected, but that Wildsight would like to see it on paper.

“I’m happy to hear MP Wilks say that this is the case,” he said.

But Bergenske says that while Wilks has said the 6,290-hectare portion of land, formally known as Lot 82, is protected, there is no documentation that Wildsight can find confirming so. Wildsight has teamed up with several conservation groups in the country including the Sierra Club BC to urge federal environment Minister Joe Oliver to release documents supporting Wilks’ claims.

“What we are seeking is confirmation from the minister that the Dominion Coal Block land in the Flathead are to be protected in line with the prov-ince’s ban on mining and oil and gas,” Bergenske said. “I’m not arguing with MP Wilks that that’s what he believes is the case.”

Teck Coal has interests in the area, but told the Townsman last week that they had no interest in Lot 82 at this time, but would instead be pursuing Lot 73 to the North near their Marten Wheeler property. Bergenske said he was aware Teck was part of the process when the Flathead protection area was being looked into, but he worries about future development and other investors.

The groups have asked for a meeting with Oli-ver to discuss their concerns. He has yet to public-ly reply to their request.

Show us the paperwork,

The Rocky Moun-tain Forest District got an A+ in a recent audit of forest planning, sil-verculture, fire protec-tion, harvesting and road activities.

The district stretch-es from Cranbrook to Invermere and in-cludes the Columbia and Kootenay rivers and local lakes and smaller rivers. The audit was conducted by the Forest Practices Board to review BC Timber Sales opera-tions in the area.

“In particular, the BCTS and its timber sale licence holders’ ac-tivities in the Mark

Creek Community Wa-tershed were well done,” said board chair Al Gorley. “Roads and bridges were well con-structed and special care was taken to man-age potential sediment sources to streams. The board acknowledges their efforts.”

The audit was con-ducted based on infor-mation compiled be-tween August 2010 to August 2012 when about 450,000 cubic metres of timber were harvested. One cubic metre of timber is about one telephone pole.

Legacy project draws on

memories of past East Kootenay students,

teachers and parents

Sally MacDonalDTownsman Staff

Do you have old class photos lying around? A school pin? A story about getting an education in the East Kootenay?

If so, coordinators of a special history proj-ect would like to hear from you.

Since May, the Co-lumbia Basin Institute of Regional History and School District #5 have been working to collect the history of education in the East Kootenay.

Now, the project – dubbed “A Legacy of Learning” – is gearing up, and the Basin Insti-tute’s executive direc-tor Derryll White is asking folks to sort through the boxes in their attic, and dredge out the memory banks, to see if you have something to contrib-ute.

“Education history is really ephemeral. It just disappears and no

School days through history

one is collecting it,” said White.

“It’s a part of histo-ry that everyone can share – it’s a common experience, every-body went to school.”

He said the insti-tute will not keep your photos or memorabil-ia. Rather, project co-ordinators simply want to scan photos and take snapshots of memorabilia, then re-turn it to its owner.

“We have agreed to locate, collect, scan and return all photographs, documents, publica-tions, crests and other memorabilia relating to school events, staff and students,” said White.

The project was born from a conversa-tion between White and School District 5 trustee Chris Johns, who is also a long-time Cranbrook educator.

“We started talking about the possibilities and catching all of that material before it is lost forever,” said Johns.

“Schools close, schools burn down. There are all sorts of things we have lost and will never be able to re-cover.”

The project started small, Johns went on, but grew once the school district board entered into a partner-ship with the institute. Last month, the B.C. government pledged almost $45,000 to the institute, so it could hire four people full time for 27 weeks to carry out the bulk of the project work.

“We are expecting to get inundated with memorabilia from the community, from schools, from people’s basements and attics,” said Johns.

“A Legacy of Learn-ing” covers schools in what used to be School

Districts 1 and 2, amal-gamated as School Dis-trict 5 in the late 1990s. That includes 20 com-munities – not only Cranbrook, Fernie, Elk-ford and Sparwood but also communities such as Moyie, Lumberton, Fort Steele, Wardner, Baynes Lake, Elko, Hos-mer and Grasmere, which no longer have schools but used to.

There was even a school in Gold Creek at Letcher’s Camp that the institute didn’t even know about until the project began.

“Education was about building a com-munity. Schools were used for political meet-ings, community events. They served the community,” said White.

During the world wars and the depres-sion, schools helped the community plant Victory Gardens, where children learnt how to grow their own pro-duce.

Schools are a huge part of the fabric of the community, White went on.

“We want to look at what education has done for this part of the East Kootenay,” he said.

Stories and photos gathered in the project will teach lessons about how communities be-came what they are today, White said. He

expects to learn the story of teaching in the region – especially for women, who once couldn’t work after marriage. He hopes to hear stories about what young people used their education to do in later life and how the community helped fos-ter that path.

Already, parallels are popping up be-tween schools in histo-ry and schools today. White has seen photos of Cranbrook rallying to have Mount Baker Sec-ondary School built in the late-1940s. Students marched carrying ban-ners; the entire com-munity was invested in seeing the high school brought to life.

Johns, who is today the chair of the com-mittee to replace that very school, said he paid close attention to that history,

“I have definitely seen the parallels,” said Johns. “I’m looking at that and thinking, I wonder if we can use some of this experience and lobby even harder than we have been to get that replacement. Seeing those old pic-tures of Mount Baker, people are quite excited about it.”

But it’s not just those big stories the project is hoping to draw out. Ev-eryone who grew up here has recollections

of their school days, and it’s hard to know what we will learn once those stories are col-lected as one.

“It’s something ev-erybody can relate to,” said White. “It’s a very common story that none of us pay atten-tion to. We don’t think about how our school

years formulated what we do.”

MeetINgS

As a result of the poorly attended Stu-dent Council meet-ings the Council has decided to take ac-tion. In order to carry on effective meetings, every class and club member must attend these meetings. The president pointed out that the constitution states that a member must not miss more than two meetings or they will be dismissed from the Council.

At a meeting im-mediately prior to the Student Council meeting, Mr. Young stated that the Grade Nine’s will definitely attend the senior party in December. He said that there are close to 400 Juniors and this would crowd the junior dance im-mensely.

The Constitution is now being revised and will include many new points which have arisen.

A discussion was held on the possibili-ties of the Council procuring an Alumni book. This matter was not settled but will be at the next council meeting.StuDeNt couNcIL

The meeting held on Tuesday, Novem-ber 24, in the Student Council room was a success for Journal-ism Club. The Coun-cil granted the Jour-nalism Club $35 for paper for the Christ-mas issue of the Green and Gold.

Chris Sorensen re-ceived his block K, athletic and scholar-ship awards.

Reports were given on the Social council, Athletic Council, Drama Club, Prefects and House Captains gave a summary, and stated that they were very disappointed in the houses. A report

from Ray Turner of the Drama Club stated that they wanted a loan of the records for the dance on Friday. The president of the curling club stated that they were going to hold a bonspiel for all the rinks before Christmas, and it was to be held in Kimber-ley.

A discussion on the new trophy case took place. President Pat Ratcliffe asked for vol-unteers for cleaning the cups and the shelves before they are put into place. The senior students are to do the arranging of the cups.

The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce has formed an ad-hoc committee to look at Cranbrook City Council’s proposed changes to the sign bylaw ahead of a public consultation session Wednesday.

The Chamber Sign Bylaw Committee met for the first time on Fri-day, November 30 after concerns were brought up over the city’s new draft sign bylaw that came before council for first reading at the No-vember 19 regular meet-ing.

Jason Wheeldon, chair of the committee, said it’s important that business owners not jump to conclusions with the proposed bylaw, because it is merely out for public consultation at this point.

“They’re floating it, it’s not set in stone. They’re looking for pub-lic input,” Wheeldon said.

The Chamber has however had a number of concerns brought up by its members, and the committee is currently

Cranbrook Chamber wades into sign bylaw debate

in the process of compil-ing that information to bring before council as a delegation. Wheeldon said the Chamber has looked through the sign bylaw, and they are try-ing to get as much feed-back from their mem-bers as they can.

“We have identified a few areas that we would like to have some further discussions about,” he said. “We want to make sure that we engage our members.”

Already the proposed sign bylaw has been a hot button issue in the city, but Wheeldon stresses that nothing has become bylaw yet.

“There’s a lot of con-fusion,” he said.

The new bylaw al-lows for seven new sign types and changes the

height and size require-ments for signs. For in-stance, freestanding signs will only be al-lowed to be six metres tall, down from 10.6 me-tres tall, if the new bylaw is approved. This rule is designed to reduce clut-ter on the skyline through Cranbrook and improve viewscapes.

A number of signs that exist in Cranbrook at the moment are slated to be prohibited under the new bylaw. Most no-tably, these include “day-glo”, fluorescent, and luminous signs, as well as sandwich board signs. But any existing signs will be exempt from the new rules if the bylaw passes as is; how-ever new and renovated signs will be subject to any bylaw changes.

I think we have known each other long enough, loyal read-ers, where you know who my favourite dictator is.

Yes, I flirted briefly with Kim Jung Il — how couldn’t you just love him to bits with his chub-by cheeks and personal brand of megalomania? We’re com-ing up on the anniversary of the beloved leader’s death this month and I’m pretty sure his son Kim Jung Un will mark the occasion well.

By the way, the U.S. satire newspaper the Onion recently announced they had chosen Kim Jung Un as the Sexiest Man Alive for 2012. The Onion says, and I quote, “With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyong-yang-bred heartthrob is every woman’s dream come true. Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable cute, cuddly side, Kim made this newspaper’s editorial board swoon with his impecca-ble fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile.”

Heh. That’s pretty good. So good in fact, that the People’s Daily, the website for the Chi-

nese Communist Party, pub-lished a story congratulating Kim Jung Un on his accom-plishment. I bet they’re blush-ing now. That’s why they call it red China. Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

In any event, the photo ac-companying the Onion article was of Kim Jung Un on a horse.

And that’s what got my dander up.

There’s only one dictator that can sit a horse with the proper macho attitude and that’s Vladi-

mir Putin, my favourite dicta-tor. Putin owns the rights to sitting atop a horse surveying his domain. Although at least Kim Jung Un spared us the bare chest (thankfully).

But speaking of Putin and horses, the Russian icon of all that is manly will be harnessing a bit of extra horsepower this Christmas, in the form of his new, Russian-built limousine. Note: Russian built except for the engine and transmission which were built in the United States.

This all part of a Putin-led Made in Russia campaign where the President then Prime Minister then President for Life has suggested his peo-ple opt for Russian made prod-

ucts (except for engines and transmissions).

Putin’s new wheels were made by the same company that used to produce limos for the Soviet dictators — ZiL. And ZiL has pimped Putin’s ride to the extent that he will be the envy of every dictator — which is quite an accomplishment since ZiL has been out of busi-ness for 20 years.

In any event, Putin’s got his limo. It weighs 3.5 tonnes, so I’m not going to lie to you and say it corners well. Nor will I make the error of claiming su-perior gas mileage.

And while Putin may be jus-tifiably proud of his new wheels, I can’t claim definitive-

ly that it’s a handsome vehicle.It has a certain boxy charm,

I guess. In fact, one could prob-ably trace its Russian roots back to the T series tanks pro-duced in WW 2. It has that particular brute force look so favoured by strongmen.

But inside it’s every dicta-tor’s dream with a retractable throne... er, seat that folds out at the push of a button, along with lush upholstery and wood accents. Built in bar — all the bells and whistles.

I bet it has a premium sound system too. I wonder what Putin likes to listen to while he’s cruising around the Moth-erland. I’m guessing it’s not Pussy Riot.

Putin’s new ZiL: The T-90 tank of limosine-class automobiles.

Carolyn Grant


OpiniOn/EvEnts

You probably haven’t given much thought to the problems in Mali, but Unit-ed Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has, and his advice on military in-tervention in that West African country could be summed up in two words: forget it. Although, being a diplomat, he actually used a great many more words than that.

Mali’s 14 million people are almost all Muslims, but there is a deep ethnic divide between the black African majority in the southern half of the country and the Tuaregs (only 10 per cent of the population) who dominate the desert north-ern half. Last March, a mil-itary coup in the capital, Bamako, distracted the Malian army long enough for Tuareg sep-aratists to seize control of the entire north.

The Tuareg separatists had been in business for many years, but an influx of weapons and fighters from Libya after the fall of the Gaddafi regime gave them a new impetus. Having driven government troops out of the north and declared the independent nation of Azawad, however, the separatists were then rapidly pushed aside by Islamic extremists who declared a jihad against practically everybody.

A military coup in a West African na-tion, even if the government then lost control of half the country to separatists, would normally be of interest only to other West African states. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) might back military interven-tion to reunite the country, or it might not, but the rest of the world would ignore it. Not this time.

What set alarms bells ringing in the United States and Europe was the fact that al-Qaeda in the Maghreb (AQIM) is a major force in the alliance of Islamist fun-damentalists that now controls northern Mali. The mere mention of al-Qaeda sets

Western governments salivating like Pav-lov’s dogs, and the issue of reconquering northern Mali suddenly got onto the in-ternational agenda.

Western countries have been pushing for a UN Security Council resolution au-thorising military action against the reb-els for months, and in October they got their way. The resolution gave regional leaders 45 days to provide plans for an

international military in-tervention to oust the reb-els in northern Mali, and the US government recent-ly said that war is now “in-evitable”.

At that deadline ap-proached, Ban Ki-Moon wrote his letter to the Secu-

rity Council condemning the rush to mil-itary action: “I am profoundly aware that if a military intervention in the north is not well conceived and executed, it could worsen an already fragile humanitarian situation and also result in severe human rights abuses. Fundamental questions on how the force would be led, sustained, trained, equipped and financed remain unanswered.”

“A military operation may be required as a last resort to deal with the most hard-line extremists and criminal elements in the north,” Ban conceded, “but before that stage is reached, the focus must be on initiating a broad-based and inclusive national dialogue...” Diplomatic buzz-words, certainly, but he is fighting for time and that’s all he has.

But US drones are already overflying northern Mali on a daily basis. US De-fence Secretary Leon Panetta has refused to rule out direct American support for training or other operations on the ground in Mali. A real war will soon start in Mali.

It would involve the same kind of UN intervention force that has been fighting the Islamist al-Shabab militia in Somalia:

African countries provide the troops, and Western countries cover the costs. But whereas the Ugandan, Kenyan and Bu-rundian armies that are doing the heavy lifting in Somalia are reasonably compe-tent soldiers, the West African armies that would provide the troops in Mali are not.

Take the biggest army in the region, for example. As a senior Malian official told The Guardian newspaper last month, “The Nigerian army is in a shocking state. There is no way they are capable of for-ward operations in Mali...The Nigerian forces lack training and kit, so they simply don’t have the capability to carry out even basic military manoeuvres. They have poor discipline and support.”

So who will pick up the pieces if the ECOWAS force, already unpopular in Mali, fails to recover the north? Probably Western troops, but that would trigger powerful anti-Western reactions all over Africa. It might produce a military victory and reunify Mali by force, but it would be a political disaster. The extremists could not hope for a better recruiting tool.

This whole operation is being driven by a reflex panic about terrorism. But northern Mali is a very long way from anywhere else, and there are no flights out.

The better approach would be to wait for the rebels in the north to fall out and start fighting one another, as they prob-ably will. Meanwhile, train and equip Mali’s own army for the task of retaking the north by force, if that ever becomes necessary, although the fact that it is cur-rently run by the same turbulent and ig-norant junior officers who made last March’s disastrous coup certainly doesn’t help.

Still, Ban Ki-Moon is right. Sometimes the best thing to do is as little as possible.

Letters to the editoreditorial donnybrook

Fresh out of high school I went to work for the retail giant Dylex. The name is an acronym that stands for Damn Your Lame EXcuses. No lame excuses would ever ac-count for poor performance.

I would like to inject the term “Dylex” into the editorial donnybrook between MLA Norm MacDonald and the one Norm refers to as “the local BC Liberals spokes-person.”

This round: “Politics vs Accomplish-ments.”

Norm’s official opponent, BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok suggests a re-sponsible MLA should give constituents continued update on his accomplish-ments not just a bi-weekly anti-BC Liberal commentary.

Norm disagrees, claiming that letting us know what he is up to would be akin to creating a “bragging list” and transparen-

cy surrounding his work would breach the MLA’s “code of ethics?” Dylex! Norm ex-plains his primary role is to spout a non-stop smear campaign against the BC Lib-eral Party.

Norm deserves some kudos; he works hard for his party and he is a good critic — this is an essential component of his role and serves to keep the conversations and issues balanced. What about the rest of the role? What about fair representation for ALL of us? Many of us feel orphaned by Norm’s lack of representation, forcing us to search out surrogates. He has severed many ties between us and Victoria, he stands shoulder to shoulder with special interest groups, simultaneously ignoring the voices of those who support responsi-ble growth.

To date Doug’s bragging list is impres-sive. Many of us rely on him to carry our needs to the provincial and federal gov-ernment and they listen. Doug supports

education, strong communities, opportu-nities for families and initiatives that cre-ate jobs. He is working to improve health care staffing, fighting for seniors and aid-ing in creating partnerships for industry. Aside from his full time job, Doug works to improve the quality of life for people in our region - and he still finds time to re-buke socialism and criticize the NDP Party.

Norm is well paid by the taxpayers and boasts the third highest travel expenses in the province — we had an expectation of a much higher return on our investment than an NDP cheerleader.

Doug understands the roles and re-sponsibilities of an MLA and acts accord-ingly. I look forward to reading the lists of his accomplishments as our MLA, accom-plishments that will be worth bragging for!

DONNA SPENCERCanadian Press

CALGARY — As long as the NHL lockout lasts, the Canadian junior men’s hockey team will be older and stronger than in previous years.

Edmonton Oilers centre Ryan Nu-gent-Hopkins and other 19-year-olds who would have otherwise been lost to the NHL are among the 37 players invited to selection camp Dec. 10-15 in Cal-gary.

There was an under-current of uncertainty in Monday’s announce-ment in Calgary be-

cause of the impact a sudden end to the lock-out could have on the team in the coming weeks.

With no end to the labour impasse in sight, Canada can, for now at least, anticipate having one of its strongest teams at the 2013 world junior hockey champi-onship starting Dec. 26 in Ufa, Russia.

But head coach Steve Spott, whose day job is coaching the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitch-ener Rangers, sounds like a man who has to be prepared for anything.

“Until Dec. 26 with

the uncertainty of this work stoppage, I’m try-ing to keep all my steno pads in order because I’ve got about 30 differ-ent rosters right now that I’m looking at,’’ he said. “We’re blessed, ob-viously, with a wealth of talent here in Canada.

“Until I see those players on the 26th against Germany, there’s a lot of balls in the air. Ultimately it will be great to get on the ice with them next Mon-day.’’

The junior team won gold during the previ-ous lockouts in 2005 and 1995, but those

tournaments were on this continent in Grand Forks, N.D., and Red Deer, Alta., respectively.

Twenty-three players will be chosen Dec. 13 to play for Canada in Ufa. The 2005 gold was the first of five straight for Canada in the tour-nament, but it’s been two silver and a bronze over the last three years for the Canadians.

The world junior tournament was held on the smaller North Amer-ican ice surface the last four years, but now re-turns to the larger Euro-pean style of arena. So a premium was placed on

skating ability when is-suing invitations to camp, according to Hockey Canada head scout Kevin Prender-gast.

“If they’re not an ex-cellent skater, they bring an intangible we think can help us,’’ he said.

A new wrinkle for this team is retaining a third goaltender as in-surance. A country can add a goaltender during the tournament if one of the two are injured, but the International Ice Hockey Federation doesn’t allow for re-placements at forward or defence.

Ice holding bear, toque and mitten toss on Friday

The Kootenay ICE Hockey Club will once again be taking part in the traditional A&W Bear, Toque and Mitten Toss on December 7 when the Prince Albert Raiders are in town.

Fans are encouraged to bring new and unused (due to distribution in health care facilities) winter wear, clothing and teddy bears to the game to launch onto the ice after Kootenay scores their first goal.

The ICE will be distributing the winter clothing and teddy bears to health care facilities and the Sal-vation Army in an effort to keep the young and old warm during the winter months.

Abreast in the Rockies will be on hand inside the lobby at Western Financial Place selling mittens if anyone forgets to bring along a teddy bear or winter clothing item.

Mittens will go for $10, with $1 going towards the Canadian Foundation for Breast Cancer. Another chunk will go towards paying retail costs for the mittens, and the rest will go to local programs and causes supported by Abreast in the Rockies.

Whitecaps trade striker for international roster spot

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have traded striker Atiba Harris to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for an international roster spot.

Harris, 27, joined the Whitecaps after being se-lected in the second-round (fourth overall) of the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft.

In two seasons with Vancouver, the native of Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis, scored two goals and added three assists in 12 MLS regular season appearances.

The Whitecaps have 11 international roster spots through the 2013 season and 10 international roster spots through the 2016 season.

The Kamloops Blazers will retire Scott Niedermay-er’s No. 28 at a pre-game cer-emony in January, honour-ing the Cranbrook native for his contributions to the club in the early 1990s.

“In my opinion, Scott is the best defenseman of his era,” commented Tom Gaglardi, a co-owner of the Blazers, in a press release. “Throughout his hockey ca-reer, Scott excelled and won at every level. His pedigree of winning and resume of ac-complishments speaks for itself.”

Niedermayer suited up

for 156 games with the Blaz-ers and had 47 goals, 143 as-sists and 190 career points. The defenceman was instru-mental in the Blazers first Memorial Cup win in 1992. Niedermayer fed a break-away pass to Zac Boyer, who scored with 14.6 seconds left to lift the Blazers to a 5-4 vic-tory over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the 1992 Me-morial Cup final.

He went on to an incredi-ble professional career in the National Hockey League, winning four Stanley Cups over a 17-year career with New Jersey and Anaheim, accumulating 784 points in 1263 NHL games.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Express more of your feelings. Someone could respond with total confusion. You might not understand what eludes this person. Consider that it might just be that this person does not know how to take you. Tonight: Let the fun begin. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could come across as being irritable or tenacious when you are teasing several friends. Be careful! Someone else might not read this behavior as it is intended. Your actions could be the source of a misunder-standing. Laugh and lighten up. Tonight: Play it low-key, please. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to express yourself clearly. You can’t seem to get past a hassle or a prob-lem, which is a result of others not understanding you. Invite those who seem confused into a conversation in order to fig-ure out where the mix-up lies. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will buy a loved one a gift or a token of affection, which could be separate from this person’s Christmas present. Your thoughtfulness makes a big dif-ference, yet there is an element of confusion surrounding this gift. Listen and share openly. Tonight: So what if you overin-dulge? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You experience clarity with your feelings, and it opens you up to new possibilities and exciting changes. Nevertheless, in a discussion about a particular topic today, you might feel as if you are wading in quicksand and that someone is not get-ting your message. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if you are playing a game of “Who’s on first, What’s on second” with someone. You just can’t seem to get clarity, as nearly every question leads to more ques-tions. Say little, and become the observer in order to get more answers. Tonight: Do a vanish-ing act.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to approach a situation in a different way. You’ll deal with others better and will succeed more often if you work within groups. The confusion that mounts will be short-lived. Perhaps someone involved just needs to relax. Tonight: Where your friends are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take a look at the amount of work or errands you need to complete before making other commitments, as enticing as they might be. A long lunch with a loved one could make you very happy. A touch of cha-os adds to the day’s intrigue. Relax. Tonight: Could be late. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are right in your element and are willing to gain a bet-ter sense of what is needed. A partner or an associate might be vested in adding confusion, which makes it necessary and wise to postpone your decision. Look at the big picture. Tonight: Read between the lines. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Work through and deal with a

problem involving a partner. Expressing compassion could be difficult amid all the confusion. You might want to rethink a decision that seems like a good idea. Give yourself time to come up with an adequate conclu-sion. Tonight: Chat over dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to someone else, and re-main sure of yourself. You want to understand where he or she is coming from. Let this person follow the natural course that is determined by his or her thinking, and both of you will be pleased with the end results. Tonight: Just do not be alone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, and know what your expectations are. A loved one might try to determine ex-actly what it is that you want. His or her questions make little sense to you. Follow through on what you know to be best, yet be kind to this person. Tonight: Try a relaxing activity. BORN TODAY Actor Jeff Bridges (1949), rap-per Jay-Z (1969), model Tyra Banks (1973)

Dear Annie: Two years ago, I walked away from a 28-year marriage. A year af-ter my divorce was final, I began seeing an old family friend. My ex-husband has decided that the only possible reason for why I left him is another man, because in his humble opinion, he was perfect during our marriage. I have told him over and over the reasons why I left, but he doesn’t hear a word I say.

The problem is, we share grandchil-dren. My grandson is having a birthday soon, and my ex has given our daughter explicit orders that I am not to bring my new boyfriend. The birthday party is be-ing held at my daughter’s house, and she called and asked me to come alone so as not to cause any problems.

My daughter understands that her fa-ther is being unreasonable, but he is their father, and they love him. One of my sons actually confronted my ex about this be-fore, and my ex didn’t speak to him for months. He told our son that he was tak-ing my side by accepting my boyfriend.

I live with my boyfriend, and my ex has a live-in girlfriend whom he plans to bring to the birthday party. I am heartbroken that my ex is treating his children this way and even more upset that my kids won’t stand up for themselves or for me. I fear this will never end. What happens when our still-single son gets married?

My boyfriend has no problem stepping aside, but I know his feelings are hurt. I don’t want this type of behavior to cause a rift with my kids. This is making me phys-ically ill. Should I not go to the party? I don’t want to play into my ex’s control is-sues. -- Heartbroken Mom in Connecticut

Dear Connecticut: Your children must call Dad’s bluff, or he will continue to marginalize you and any partner you have. This is a power play to control all of you. Unfortunately, you cannot force your children to risk the relationship by showing backbone. Whether or not to at-tend these functions is up to you. A child’s birthday party is not as big of a deal as a son’s wedding. Pick your battles.

Dear Annie: I am 18 and a senior in high school. My ex-boyfriend and I dated on and off for about two years before we broke up 10 months ago. We are still close friends and have some feelings for each other, but there are reasons why we can’t currently be together.

I am starting to like a guy who is three years younger and two grades below me. But I don’t know if he likes me. Should I pursue him? What about my ex-boyfriend who is still my best friend? -- Conflicted and Confused in the Northwest

Dear Conflicted: Are you planning to get back together with your ex at some point in the near future? If so, pursuing another guy may make that more diffi-cult. But if the relationship with the ex is over, you are free to pursue anyone. How-ever, the new guy is 15. While he may be flattered by your interest, he’s too young to become involved with a senior. And if there is sex, you could be in legal trouble. Please set your sights elsewhere.

Dear Annie: I think you missed an important possibility when answering “Frustrated Dad,” whose college-graduate son plays video games all day.

If his son plays games the vast major-ity of the day, he could well be addicted. When addictions take over, work and re-lationships are all tossed by the wayside. He retreats from the real world because his reality is in his computer.

Dad should absolutely insist that he go to a therapist trained in addictions. Drive him there, or pay for his gas -- whatever it takes. It is a long, hard road back, but it can be done. -- Happier Mom

LOS ANGELES — The Mars rover Curiosi-ty has completed its first chemical test of soil from the red planet, and scientists say there are no surprises so far.

The spacecraft is on a mission to look for in-gredients in Martian soil and rocks that could support life. But in the first scoop of soil ana-lyzed, there were no de-finitive signs of the chemical building blocks of life.

Instead, the six-wheel rover detected water and a mix of other chemicals.

The findings were re-ported Monday at a meeting of the Ameri-can Geophysical Union meeting in San Francis-co.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administra-tion is harshly criticiz-ing its top Mideast ally Israel over new settle-ment construction plans.

The State Depart-ment said Monday that the plans are “especially damaging’’ to prospects for a resumption in Is-raeli-Palestinian peace talks and run counter to longstanding U.S. poli-cy.

Israel on Friday an-nounced that it would move ahead on plans to build 3,000 settler homes in the West Bank and east Jerusalem on territory the Palestin-ians claim as theirs to punish the Palestinians for winning U.N. recog-nition. It also said it would begin planning work for a chunk of land east of Jerusalem known as E1, where construc-tion would end hopes for an eventual Pales-tinian state to be contig-uous.

Canada is standing apart from its major al-lies, the U.S. included, in refusing to condemn Is-raeli plans for new set-tlements in areas

LONDON — Get the nursery ready: Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting their first child.

St. James’s Palace announced the pregnancy Monday, saying that the Duchess of Cambridge — formerly known as Kate Mid-dleton — has a severe form of morning sickness and is current-ly in a London hospital. William is at his wife’s side.

The palace said since the pregnancy is in its “very early stages,’’ the 30-year-old duchess is expected to stay in the hospital for several days and will require a period of rest afterward.

It would not say how far along she is, only that she has not yet reached the 12-week mark.

News of the pregnancy drew congratulations from across the world, with the hashtag “royal-baby’’ trending globally on Twit-ter.

Not only are the attractive young couple popular — with William’s easy common touch reminding many of his mother, the late Princess Diana — but their child is expected to play an important role in British national life for decades to come.

William is second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles, so the couple’s first child would normally eventually be-come a monarch.

In recent days, Middleton has kept up her royal appearances — recently playing field hockey

with schoolchildren at her for-mer school.

The confirmation of her preg-nancy caps a jam-packed year of highs and lows for the young royals, who were married in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey last year.

They have travelled the world extensively as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and weathered the embarrass-ment of a nude photos scandal, after a tabloid published topless images of the duchess.

Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said the news bookended a year that saw the royal family riding high in popu-lar esteem after celebrations of the Queen’s 60 years on the

throne. “We’re riding on a royal high

at the moment at the end of the Diamond Jubilee year,’’ he said. “People enjoyed the royal ro-mance last year and now there’s this. It’s just a good news story amid all the doom and gloom.’’

Speculation about when the couple would start a family has been rife since their wedding.

William’s mother — the late Princess Diana — got pregnant just four months after her wed-ding in 1981. Diana reportedly suffered from morning sickness for months and complained of constant media attention.

“The whole world is watching my stomach,’’ Diana once said.

The palace said the royal fam-ily was “delighted’’ by the news, while British Prime Minister David Cameron wrote on Twitter that the royals “will make won-derful parents.’’

Whether boy or girl, the child will be next in line behind Wil-liam in the line of succession to the throne, Cabinet Office offi-cials have said.

Leaders of Britain and the 15 former colonies that have the monarch as their head of state agreed in 2011 to new rules which give females equal status with males in the order of suc-cession.

Although none of the nations had legislated to make the change as of September 2012, the British Cabinet Office con-firmed that this is now the de-facto rule.

OSLO, Norway — When friends of Norway’s Crown Prin-cess Mette-Marit couldn’t travel to India to welcome their surro-gate twins into the world, the royal stepped up, minding the couple’s newborns for three days and even being mistaken by hos-pital staff for a nanny.

In a statement from the Royal Court, the princess described how she had flown to New Delhi on Oct. 23 after visa problems prevented the children’s Norwe-gian parents — a same-sex cou-ple — from arriving at the hospi-tal in time for the birth.

“There are times in life when one finds oneself in a complex situation where there are few or no good solutions,’’ she wrote.

“For me the core of the matter was that there were two newborn babies who lay alone in a hospi-tal in Delhi. I was the one who was able to travel. It was import-ant to me to help in any way I could.’’

She stayed to mind the babies

until relatives — and eventually also the two fathers — could get to the hospital.

One of the men is an employ-ee of the royal household and a good friend of Mette-Marit’s. The twins arrived in Norway last week. Hagen did not identify the couple or give the genders of the babies.

The court said the travel was paid out of the princess’ private funds.

Mette-Marit, 39, became Crown Princess of Norway and

the country’s future queen after she married Crown Prince Haa-kon in 2001. They have two chil-dren, and Mette-Marit has an-other child from a previous rela-tionship.

Marianne Hagen, a spokes-woman for the Royal Court, said that despite Mette-Marit’s title, her royal status does not exempt her from other countries’ visa regulations and the princess was also required to seek one for her visit to India. “If a visa is re-quired, then it’s also required for a crown princess,’’ Hagen said.

She also confirmed that staff at the Indian hospital had mis-taken the royal for a nanny.

Surrogacy is illegal in Norway, but it is not illegal to seek a surro-gate mother abroad and bring the child back to the Nordic country.

The loophole has sparked a debate in Norway, but the prin-cess said her reason for travelling to India was purely personal and that her trip “was not intended to be a contribution to this debate.’’

Lillian May Lancaster “Pearl”

1921 - 2012It is with great sorrow that the family of Lillian May “Pearl” Lancaster announces her passing on Thursday, November 29, 2012 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 91 years of age.

Pearl was born in Cranbrook on May 13, 1921 to Herbert and Edith Noyce. She was a loving mother and

grandmother. She loved gardening and sharing it’s bounty with others. In her younger years, she was active in her church, as well as volunteering with the Arthritis Society.

Pearl is survived by her children Shirley (Steve) Paley, Fred (Karen) Lancaster, Marjorie (Garth) Lipsack, James Lancaster (Tammi), Kathy (Bill) Pachara, 11 grandchildren and many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Fred, her parents Herbert and Edith and her siblings Bill, Edith, Rose, Albert “Red”, Alice and Violet.

A memorial service for Pearl will be held at First Baptist Church in Cranbrook on Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 at 10:30 am. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Pearl may do so to their charity of choice.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

claimed by the Palestin-ians.

Five European coun-tries have withdrawn their ambassadors from Israel to protest the set-tlement plan.

Spokesmen for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Af-fairs Minister John Baird are sticking to the same

response line, saying unilateral action by ei-ther side will not ad-vance the peace pro-cess.

Baird’s office refuses to say whether the gov-ernment stands by the established policy that says Israeli settlements are a ``serious obstacle’’ to peace.

Facial hair has sprouted like gardens in spring from the fresh faces of Cranbrook and Kimberley men this month. The annual fundraiser for

prostrate cancer awareness and research is dubbed ‘Movember’ - mo-ustaches in No-vember. Here is a sampling of the cities’ longest lip

huggers. Congratulations, hirsute gentlemen, on your manliness!

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said his whiskers were a shade more grey than he anticipated.

The City of Cranbrook’s public works department joined the Movember cause with conviction, displaying everything from the classic handlebar to the full Fu Manchu.

Movember? Mo worries!


The teaching staff at Parkland Middle School had students pitch in for their favourite facial protuber-ance. Pictured, left to right: Don Smith, Rick Bendkowski, Frank Hackett and principal Scott Holt.

The Kootenay Ice gave Movember a good try. Back row, left to right—Brock Montgomery, Jeff Hubic, Tanner Muth, Joey Leach. Front row, left to right—Mike Simpson, Zach McPhee, Jakub Prochazka.


Cranbrook firefighters Dan Mackinnon, Murray Robertson and Darcy Kennedy were a few of the emergency services crew to take the challenge.

Cranbrook certainly loves a Farmer’s Market, and this past weekend’s Winter Market was no exception.

Streams of Holiday shop-pers piled into the Baker St. location for the pre-Christmas sale that featured home baked goods and a variety of unique Christmas gifts.

The event was held as the Santa Clause Parade cruised through downtown Cran-brook and continued the next day.

There was nary a space to fit another market vendor this year, many of whom returned

to the winter edition after much success over the sum-mer at Rotary Park.

The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market Society is always ex-panding, and this year is no different. They will be holding a Mini-Market at the Tamarack Centre every weekend until Christmas with a select few vendors for those who didn’t get their fill this past weekend.

The first Mini-Market will be December 8 and 9 and they will continue every weekend with the last one on December 22 and 23. Saturday hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays the market will be open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
