SUBMIT TEDMonday, Dec. 7, marked an event

that many people had been working towards for years. The Kimberley In-dependent School, in collaboration with the Chapman Camp Communi-ty Playground Committee and doz-ens of volunteers watched the cutting of the ribbon to a fantastic new play-ground.

Over the years there has been major fund raising and vision involv-ing dozens of people including past KIS board members, Ursula Salatto, Jenn Roberts, PAC members and par-ents of KIS children. In the fall of 2014 the design started to tighten up and the decision to start building in 2015 was made. A group of people includ-ing Andy Christie, Mark Raymond, Celeste Needham, Brian Leeb and Cal Johnson began the work of de-signing, learning the standards and regulations of playgrounds and choosing the materials and equip-ment. Next, Tyee Log Homes was chosen to do the work of bringing the conceptual vision of the playground to life. It was a tall order to fall a standing 70 foot tree with branches intact and many attempts were made by Tyee employees. Finally with lots of sweat, artistry that Tyee is known for, and their hard work, it paid off. A one of a kind playground has been

created on the school grounds of the Kimberley Independent School for the community at large to enjoy. In a project of this magnitude there are many people involved that the CCCPC and KIS would like to ac-knowledge. Tyee Log Homes/Rob Wheeler donated so much time, re-sources and craftsmanship to make this a remarkable edifice. Others that donated generously with supplies/time were; Vermette Roofing, Salva-dor Ready Mix, Mardis Forest Prod-ucts, Kimberley Building Supplies, Sandor Rentals, Cloverdale Paints, Sustainble Spaces, Alan Kavanaugh . In addition to this, many volunteers made this project possible by physi-cally helping to build the playground, through grant writing, advertising, brainstorming, attending meetings and much more. It truly was a com-munity effort that KIS and CCCPC are incredibly grateful for!

So on Dec 7th after much anticipa-tion and patience and with the ribbon dangling all the KIS kids screamed and yelled with excitement and ex-plored the new structure. Like ants they scurried over the pirate bridge, monkey bars, swings, tire swing, climbing options and slides, which are all housed by an enormous, beau-tifully crafted log structure. Come check it out...come and play!

TRE VOR CR AWLEYEnergy was on the mind of

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett as he addressed the Chamber of Commerce at a monthly lun-cheon last week.

Bennett, who serves as the Minister of Energy and Mines, was the keynote speaker for the event, who spoke about British Columbia’s leadership in energy conservation and climate action.

Bennett had two central points to his speech—first noting what the provincial government has done on the energy and cli-mate change while wrapping up with what the future looks like in terms of legislative policy.

He began with a history les-son on Liberal policies concern-ing the carbon tax, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable and innovation technology funding.

He punctuated his speech many times by noting that B.C. was one of the most progressive jurisdictions in North America

on the climate action front. How-ever, he tempered that by noting that it is important to remain en-vironmentally conscious while being competitive economically.

“We are so far ahead of the rest of this country and the vast majority of North America and the world. If we get too far out in front of what we’re trying to do, we could easily find ourselves being uncompetitive in our major industries,” Bennett said. “Our major industries are ener-gy-intensive, trade-exposed in-dustries.

We sell all our stuff off-shore for the most part, whether it’s mining, oil and gas, forestry, agri-culture…

“We have to be very careful that we don’t get out too far. This is going to be a debate over the next year and a half leading into the next provincial election.”

He gave a nod to his name-sake—W.A.C. Bennett (no rela-tion)—the former B.C. premier

who was instrumental in build-ing major hydroelectric dams on in the Columbia and Peace River regions.

In large part because of those legacy projects, Bennett said 97.9 per cent of B.C.’s electricity is clean. Some of those major hy-droelectric dams can generate power for 100 years, he added.

“It’s pretty cool for us to be able to say that. You look around the world, places like Ontario that are trying to get off coal and now Alberta, which has said they’d like to reduce their reli-ance on coal to generate electric-ity,” Bennett said.

“You look in Europe, in Ger-many—the Germans are working pretty hard to clean up their en-ergy. They want to have 50 per cent of their energy clean by 2050. We’re 97.9 per cent clean electricity in this province al-ready.”

For the townsmanCRANBROOK – The

Cranbrook Public Li-brary is investing in its future.

A $10,000 cheque was presented to the Cranbrook and District Community Founda-tion (CDCF) on Decem-ber 10 to establish the Cranbrook Public Li-brary Endowment Fund. Every year, The Cranbrook Public Li-brary will financially benefit from the interest income earned off its fund.

“This year we cele-brated our 90th anni-versary,” said Ursula Brigl, Chief Librarian. “The library has been around almost a centu-ry and we plan to con-tinue to serve this com-munity for centuries to come. That is why we are taking these first steps towards a perma-nent endowment fund which will help to con-tribute to our vision of a sustainable financial fu-ture.”

The library endow-ment fund was partly established with money raised at the 1920s Gala Fundraiser Nov. 21. at the Royal Alexandra Hall.

“We are very grateful for the ongoing support

from our donors, com-munity, and Friends of the Library, who helped us reach our $10,000 goal and made this en-dowment fund a reali-ty,” said Denine Milner, library board chair. “It is

a new and exciting op-portunity for all of us.”

CDCF endowment funds are held in perpe-tuity, which means the Cranbrook Public Li-brary Fund is not only secure and permanent,

but will grow stronger every year.

“We are so excited to work with the Cran-brook Public Library to launch their fund and will be putting forward a committed and ongo-

ing effort to grow it and maximize its return to the library,” says Riley Wilcox, CDCF executive director. “We are pas-sionate about connect-ing donors to commu-nity needs and opportu-

nities with the ultimate goal that all citizens benefit from the best our community can offer in arts, recreation, health care, education, and social services.

“Together, we can

build strong and resil-ient places to live, work and play.”

EKFH is proud to announce the lighting of its 8th large star atop the East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital as part of the 2015 Starlite Campaign.

NAPA Autopro dealers from Southern BC and Alberta gath-ered this past fall to play golf in the 2nd annual John Dixon Memorial Golf Tournament. “Our corporate office and our dealers have great respect for John and the Dixon family and it’s been our pleasure to come together to raise funds for EKFH a charity that the family has a passion for,” reports event organizer Josh Braithwaite, Banners & Major Account Coordinator of the NAPA Autopro Group in Cal-gary.

The fun-filled event fea-tured a team scramble, mulli-gans and an auction resulting in generous support of $2,605 for the foundation’s annual holiday giving campaign.

Even more remarkable was

the generosity from the Dixon family who have donated their own $2,500 for an accumulat-ed give of $5,105 that is being dedicated to EKFH’s mission to provide funding to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and other community facilities in complementing the health care needs of the region.

Marian Dixon shares, “We are still very connected to and involved with NAPA Autopro. Helping to light this star for our hospital is not just for John but for every NAPA Autopro deal-er, staff and customers that supports our businesses.”

The Starlite Campaign offi-cially kicked off on November 27 and will continue through to January 31, 2016. Every donation EKFH’s receives no matter how big or small can truly light a path for others. If you are interested in learning more about the work of the foundation or wishing to make your own donation please visit www.ekfh.ca.

For the future, the government has dictat-ed that for new electric-ity demands, 66 per cent must be found through conservation and not new genera-tion.

“It’s not a bad thing to use less electricity, it’s a good thing,” Ben-nett said. “It’s not a bad thing to use less diesel and less gasoline. It’s a good thing, intrinsical-ly, to conserve, and a lot of what we’re doing is based on conservation.”

The carbon tax, in-troduced in 2007, was designed to be reve-nue-neutral, meaning that the government gives back the amount collected as tax relief, Bennett said.

Despite a few blips on the economic radar during the Great Reces-sion, the provincial economy has fared well with the carbon tax, Bennett said.

“Our economy has grown, our employment has grown and our con-fidence has grown during the whole time that we’ve had our car-bon tax. We were not only the first province in Canada, but the first ju-risdiction in the world, to create a wide applica-tion of a revenue neu-tral carbon tax,” he said.

“No one else in the country is doing it; Al-berta has announced that they’re doing it, but it’s not revenue-neu-tral.”

Other policies in-clude legislating a mini-mum of five per cent

renewable content in gasoline and four per cent in diesel. Further initiatives include a Clean Energy fund, where companies look-ing to develop green technologies can apply for grants. Bennett said

he just signed off on a $1 million grant for a company near Whistler developing technology that can extract carbon dioxide out of thin air and turn it into a fuel.

In the larger context of moving towards re-newable fuels, Bennett says that the world will still be relying on fossil fuel for the time being, but the transition is al-ready happening.

“We are going to have to bridge towards reliance on renewable fuels,” Bennett said. “We’re going to be rely-ing on fossil fuels in our economy, I think, for a very long time. We can argue, and I do argue, with those from the en-vironmental organiza-tions that the transition has to happen faster, that it can happen faster.

It comes down to cost, it comes down to available technology.”

Submit tedThe Canadian Federation of

University Women (CFUW) Cran-brook Club is looking for nomina-tions for Cranbrook’s Woman of the Year, 2016.

Woman of the Year for the East Kootenay was created by CFUW Cranbrook Club in 1984 to honour an outstanding woman who gives of herself either in paid work and/or as a volunteer in her East Koote-nay community that betters the lives for those around her in her community.

This East Kootenay woman can also be one who not only gives of herself in her own community, but also at the provincial, national and international level.

Part of the criteria set out 31 years ago asks for nominations of a woman whose efforts create better opportunities for education, op-portunities and/or safety for women and girls in her community

at all the levels this woman serves in, yet by doing all this extra “work”, the nominated woman did not ig-nore her family’s needs.

Those wishing to nominate a member of a woman for Woman of the Year 2016 would be wise to get your candidate selected immedi-ately. It is preferred that the woman being nominated is unaware of her name being put forward. The club asks that the nomination commit-tee form your nomination state-ment as to why you think this woman should be selected as Woman of the year 2016 by the CFUW Cranbrook Club. From there, the nomination committee will work to find friends, family, co-workers, co-volunteers of this woman to write support letters to the nomination of this woman. Then, the chair of the nomination committee will send the nomina-tion with the committee and other letters of support to Cathryn Hen-

ley at 805 – 29th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3K5.

Deadline for all nominations is Monday, 12 noon, February 15, 2016.

It is the hope of the CFUW Cran-brook Club that we are able to hon-our Woman of the Year 2016 on In-ternational Women’s Day, Tuesday, March 8

For further information, please go to our website: www.cfuw-cran-brook.com.

The Cranbrook Club has 12 members locally and is a member of CFUW National, a non-political, voluntary, self-funded, bilingual and non-governmental organiza-tion of women university graduates in 110 clubs across Canada that works to improve the status of women and girls, education, peace, justice and human rights.

CFUW holds special consulta-tive status at the United Nations (ECOSOC) and belongs to the Sec-

toral Committee of education of the Canadian Commission for UN-ESCO. CFUW is the largest of 61 national affiliates of the Interna-tional Federation of University Women (IFUW).

Since 1984, CFUW Cranbrook Club has honoured 37 East Koo-

tenay women.

A special public ava-lanche warning for rec-reational backcountry users is stil in effect until at least the end of today, Monday, Dec. 14.

Avalanche Canada issued the warning on Friday, December 11. It was slated to be in effect to the end of the day Monday.The warning applies to the central Columbia Mountains and encompasses por-tions of the following forecast regions—the Kootenay-Boundary, South Columbia, North Columbia and Cariboos.

The area of concern is the mountainous ter-rain that lies north of a line roughly between Penticton, Nelson and Cranbrook, and south of a line between Williams Lake and Valemount. The west boundary is highway 97 between Penticton and Williams

Lake; the east boundary is the Columbia and North Thompson rivers. The region can be viewed on a map here.

The main concern is low-elevation, open ter-rain such as cut-blocks, explains says Karl Klas-sen, Avalanche Cana-da’s Public Avalanche Warning Service Man-ager.

“This situation is a bit unusual,” adds Klas-sen. “These areas below treeline are often con-sidered as safe play-grounds. But with this current condition, we have had many reports of unexpected ava-lanches that are defi-nitely large enough to cause injury or death.”

Avalanche Canada recommends avoiding steep slopes of any size between 1400 and 1800 metres elevation, in-cluding cut-blocks, cut-banks on roads, and

open areas in mature timber.

Due to recent storms and winds, higher eleva-tions in many areas are also primed for ava-lanches and extra cau-tion is advised for the weekend and early next week. For up-to-date in-formation check the daily forecasts at www.avalanche.ca and Ava-lanche Canada’s Moun-tain Information Net-work.

Every person in a backcountry party needs to wear an ava-lanche transceiver in transmit mode and carry a probe and a shovel in their pack. En-sure all equipment is well maintained and in good working order. Av-alanche training and practice in using rescue equipment is essential to ensure a fast and effi-cient response in case of an emergency.

Special avalanche warning in effect through Monday

OpiniOn/EvEnts

J oyc e G r e e n

T he Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission (TRC) has concluded its painstaking and pain-filled expo-

sition of the misery inflicted by the Cana-dian policy of enforced residential school-ing on Aboriginal children and has issued its final report. In its evidence is the truth part: Canadian democratic governments legitimated genocide and human rights abuses against children. In our names. That’s what democracy does: it mandates governments to act in the collective name of citizens, who then in theory assess the action through the electoral system.

Bear in mind “Indians” (an artificial category that erases the particularity of Indigenous people in all our diversity) were not considered citizens till 1956 but, despite serving in high numbers in both Great Wars, could not vote until 1960 when Prime Minister Diefenbaker ‘gave’ Indians the vote.

The residential school policy was not for the benefit of “Indians” but for set-tlers: it was intended to de-Indianize the youngest generations so that there would be “no Indians and no Indian problem”, in the crystal-clear words of Duncan Campbell Scott, the deputy superinten-dent of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932. It actually wasn’t much of an education program at all (note that the federal gov-ernment still spends thousands less per student in reserve schools than provinces do in the public school system, and ask yourself if there is a thread of continuity here). The residential school policy was part of Canadian colonialism, along with land theft and genocide. Colonialism has inflicted incalculable damage on Indige-nous peoples of every generation.

The Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission heard the testimony of many who attended the residential schools subcontracted by the state to various Christian denominations and produced the Final Report, the Executive Summa-ry, and the Calls to Action so that all Ca-nadians may know the Truth. They are available in digital form for all who are interested. All should be interested.

The TRC and the state were also to at-tend to the healing of those who have been damaged in ways that are best un-

derstood as child abuse and PTSD. Yet we are lurching toward ‘reconciliation’ ahead of healing, and really, without most Canadians or our elite political in-stitutions having grappled with the truth. Truth-telling in a reconciliatory process is meaningless if it is not heard by those who have benefited from the damage – by those who enjoy what for shorthand we’ll call white settler privilege – and for those who have laid their truths bare, the exer-cise is unsatisfying unless there is some positive consequence that can produce a measure of change. What to do?

Too many seem to think that by virtue of the colonized having told their truths, reconciliation is attained as we all just ‘get over it’ ‘going forward’. Not so quick: in between truth and reconciliation there must be recognition of what happened in our collective name; recognition of the damage done by the democratic state to those who have been oppressed by defi-nition since occupation; recognition of the illegal and immoral nature of this continuing state of affairs, and recogni-tion of the requirement for remediation of all of these things. The state acted for Canadian citizens, who have obtained all the goodies the state has to offer, at the expense of Indigenous people who have been stripped of virtually all of their: sov-ereignty, autonomy, cultural corpus, lan-guage, children, elders, health, wealth and opportunities.

This recognition was surely withheld by the Conservative government of Ste-phen Harper, which refused to adopt and implement the United Nations Declara-tion on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Moreover, that same government acted in ways that prima facie violate the UN-DRIP and the Constitutional law of Cana-da by, for example, making resource de-velopment the Prime Directive despite the lack of meaningful consultation with and the absolute lack of consent by Ab-original nations whose territories and communities are affected by that devel-opment. The Harperites refused to recog-nize the intergenerational damage con-sequent to colonialism in the suffering demonstrated by outrageous levels of in-carceration of Indigenous peoples; disin-tegration of Indigenous families marked

by the loss of children into the largely in-competent and indifferent child welfare systems; the under- and un-employment of Indigenous peoples in their own com-munities and elsewhere; the lack of ac-cess to basic incidents of human rights and citizenship such as education, clean water, health care and housing; and the rising barometer of pathology in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women body count.

Indigenous people voted in unprece-dented numbers to get rid of the Harperites and bring in a federal govern-ment that will pay some attention to In-digenous concerns. Prime Minister Trudeau is making all the right gestures to date, and the Opposition New Demo-crats and Green Party are supportive of these. This is evidence of some measure of recognition.

Recognition is a necessary though in-sufficient condition for reconciliation. Recognition must be accompanied by restitution. Unless and until the colonial state returns at least some of the land, negotiates shared jurisdiction over re-sources and tax room and makes other compensatory amends, there will be no reconciliation. Saying ‘sorry’ – as then-Prime Minister Harper did -- just isn’t enough without actions that make amends.

And only then can we anticipate the possibility of Right Relationship – a state of being that is constantly negotiated, beneficial to all, and is the manifestation of reconciliation. The model exists in Indigenous understanding of treaty frameworks which contemplated ongo-ing adaptable relationships with the ca-pacity to carry us all into a positive future.

Until we have the preconditions for reconciliation, the truth will not make us free of the reality of colonialism – not only historically, but right now, across Canada, in Indigenous communities and everywhere else as well. And only recon-ciliation can take us into the future to-gether.

P e t e r Wa r l a n d

P aul Mill Dickeson was born in Rhodesia and came to the Kootenays

with his Scottish wife, Maggie. He taught in both Kimberley and Cranbrook. He was a quiet, thoughtful man but, luckily for several of us, he fell in with a group of roughnecks like me. Because he’s the only man I’ve ever met who, because of lin-guistic problems, had to con-verse in Latin whilst hitch-hik-ing in Italy, I called him PAULUS MAGNUS.

It is extremely difficult for me to recall anything too seri-ous about Paul. Daft things seemed to happen all around when we were together trying to get something done.

When we first encountered one another, I thought he was one of those ‘posh’ speaking Englishmen I had always mocked and he, somehow,

came to the conclusion that I was a janitor. If he had seen my car at the time he would soon have realized that jani-tors drove big, shiny new vehi-cles.

Paul soon intimated that he would be interested in going with me into the hills and, when it came down to rock-climbing, it was like teaching grandmother to suck eggs. He had smaller, neater feet than I do and they stayed where he put them.

I did best him at skiing, probably because I had started earlier than he did. He did ac-complish some remarkable head-plants and, when show-ing off, he managed to crack a rib after an exuberant fall at my feet. This was just after he’d quit smoking. Guess what happened.

Paul was a stoic. No long distances nor appalling weath-

er conditions deterred him and he could fall asleep at any time. He adored nestling in his green culvert, especially if he had a dog or two to raise the inside temperature as the rain water rushed through.

He was a stoic about food too. Maybe his asthma affect-ed his palate so that he could stomach the awful, the taste-less and the icy cold. While others fussed and fumed over their diets, he just chomped away. However, he could down a cup of tea in any shape or form.

Neither Paul nor I had any mechanical ability yet man-aged to survive several break-downs in the bush, and my recollections of many snow-mobile trips involved setting light to things in order to get them going and Zorba the Greek dances when they didn’t.

Paul owned several disrep-utable back-packs over the years and all, it seemed, had been thoughtfully pre-packed with the necessities of surviv-al: caps to wear at rakish an-gles, stubs of candles for wax-ing skis in the usual emergen-cies, odd bits of string for fre-quent repairs or for whenever necessary, dog-hair draped band-aids for other people’s wounds (though usually re-jected) and, of course, duct tape. We never knew when it might be necessary to tape my hiking boots to my skis be-cause, somehow, I’d forgotten my ski boots, or to repair Paul’s boot that somehow came apart when we were standing waist deep in fresh powder snow and wondering.

Maybe, if Paul had had one of those packs to hand, he might have survived that last stroke. You never know.

T he climate deal that almost 200 countries agreed to in Paris on Sat-urday was far better than most in-

siders dared to hope even one month ago.The biggest emitters of greenhouse

gases, China and the United States, are fi-nally on board. There is real money on the table to help poor countries cut their emissions and cope with warming. They have even adopted a target of holding the warming to only +1.5 degrees C, in-stead of the limit of +2 de-grees that was the goal when the conference opened.

So the thousands of delegates who spent two weeks dickering over the details of the deal in a drafty exhibition hall north of Paris felt fully justified in cheering and congratulating one another on a job well done. Given all that, it’s a pity that the deal won’t actually stop the warming.

The plus-two limit was always too high. It began as a scientific estimate of when natural feedbacks, triggered by the warm-ing that human beings had caused, take over and started driving the temperature much, much higher. It was actually quite a fuzzy number: at somewhere between +1.75 C and +2.25 C, the feedbacks will kick in and it will be Game Over.

So +2.0 C, for political purposes, be-came the limit. Beyond that, governments told us, we would have “dangerous warm-ing”. Nonsense. We are having dangerous warming now – bigger storms, worse floods, longer droughts – and we are only at +1.0 C.

At plus-two or thereabouts, what we get is catastrophe: runaway warming that can no longer be halted just by stopping human emissions of carbon dioxide. Na-ture will take over, and we will be trapped on a one-way escalator that is taking us up

to +3, +4, +5, even +6 degrees. Hundreds of millions or even billions of people would die as large parts of the planet ceased to be habitable by human beings.

If you don’t want to risk unleashing that, then you don’t want to go anywhere near +2, so the official adoption by the

world’s governments of +1.5 degrees as the nev-er-exceed limit is a major step forward. But note that they have only pledged “to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C,” not to succeed. The hard-and-fast promise is

still not to go past +2 – and there is not even any guarantee that that will be achieved.

In order to avoid a debacle like the one at the last climate summit in Copenhagen six years ago, nobody even tried to put en-forceable limits on national carbon diox-ide emissions this time. Each country was just invited to submit the emission cuts that it is willing to make. The sum of all those promised cuts (if the promises are kept) is what we will get by way of global emission cuts in the next five years.

United Nations experts did the math, and concluded that these emission cuts fall far short of what is needed. If this is all that is done, then we are headed for at least +2.7 degrees C – or rather, for a lot more, because of the feedbacks.

None of the negotiations at the Paris conference changed those numbers, or even tried to. So are we doomed to run-away warming? Not necessarily.

Most of the negotiators know that the cuts which are politically impossible now may become quite possible in five or ten years if the cost of renewable energy goes on dropping, if techniques like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) become economically viable — and if people are sufficiently frightened by a climate that is

getting wilder and less predictable by the year.

So there is a review process built into the treaty. Every five years, starting in 2018, there will be a “stock-taking” exercise in which everybody’s progress in cutting their emissions will be reviewed, and everybody will be encouraged to increase their com-mitments and speed up their cuts.

Whether they will actually do that de-pends on political, economic and techno-logical factors that cannot yet be calculat-ed, but fear is a great incentive, and there is no government on the planet that is not frightened by the prospect of major cli-mate change. In fact, most of them would have gone a lot further in Paris if they were not nervous about getting too far ahead of public opinion at home.

Public opinion will eventually change, because there is going to be a very large amount of damage and suffering in the world as we move past +1.0 and head up towards +1.5. Will it change fast enough to allow governments to act decisively and in time? Nobody knows.

Will new green technologies simply sweep the field, making fossil fuels uneco-nomic and government intervention un-necessary? Nobody knows that either, al-though many people pin their hopes on it.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we are probably heading in the right direction – and it would be right at this point to put in a good word for that much maligned organisation, the United Nations. It is the only arena in which global negotiations like this can be conducted, and its skills, traditions and people were indispensable in leading them to a more or less success-ful conclusion.

Broncos ruin Alfaro’s efforts on Teddy Bear Toss NightKootenay Ice fall to Swift Current Broncos on annual charity night at Western Financial Place

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Anything you can do, I can do better.

Matt Alfaro might not have been thinking that heading into Satur-day night’s annual Teddy Bear, Toque and Mitten Toss game, but he certainly was after it was all said and done.

With the Kootenay Ice hosting the Swift Current Broncos, Alfaro took care of business a mere 34 seconds into the first period, deposit-ing the puck past a help-less Travis Child to bring teddy bear rain down onto the ice at Western Financial Place.

Alfaro’s light-ning-quick tally bested last year’s teddy bear toss marker from Jaedon Descheneau, who beat Spokane’s Garret Hugh-son 41 seconds into the 2014-15 edition of the annual teddy bear toss in Cranbrook.

Unfortunately for Al-faro and the home team (6-25-2-0), the quick jump wasn’t enough as the Broncos (10-17-3-1) went on to a 5-2 victory in Western Hockey League action.

“I didn’t know it was that quick,” Alfaro said with a laugh. “Last year I didn’t really get a chance because [Descheneau] scored so quick. It was a cool experience.”

Broncos forward Tyler Adams drew things even 7:12 into the first period as the two

teams went back and forth through 20 min-utes of play.

If Alfaro’s 34-sec-onds-in teddy bear goal was in an effort to one-up Descheneau, Cale Fl-eury’s goal at the start of the second period surely must have been intend-ed to one-up Alfaro.

Unleashing a heavy blast from the point, Fl-eury found a hole in Child only 15 seconds into the middle period. Most people were still milling about the con-course and there’s a good chance a number of fans missed both Kootenay Ice goals as a result.

“When you’re as fragile as we are right now, goals against do more harm than a goal for does positive,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Sat-urday night.

A little less than six minutes later, an old ghost was back to haunt the Ice once again with the home team skating shorthanded after a delay of game penalty to goaltender Wyatt Hoflin.

Overage forward Jon Martin stormed in from the right circle and sent a laser of a shot over the shoulder of Hoflin and under the bar to tie the game 2-2 and that’s where it remained heading into the final 20 minutes of regulation.

“Hof comes in after the period and basically takes responsibility for

the first two goals against,” Pierce said. “That’s leadership. You need your team to pick him up and work for him. He’s given us a lot of good chances every night.”

After 40 minutes that saw the Kootenay Ice, once again, in a position to collect at least a point, everything fell apart in the third period.

“We were in this game, another close game that we blew,” Al-faro said. “But we’ve got to try to stay positive. We’ve got three more games till the break here. We can’t waste those games. We’ve got to keep going.”

After Zak Zborosky was tagged for checking to the head, Tanner Lish-chynsky joined him in the penalty box 33 sec-onds later after incurring a double-minor for high-sticking Broncos forward Jake DeBrusk.

The Ice managed to kill off the 5-on-3, but the Broncos converted on the remaining time to Lishchynsky as Kade Jensen hammered a point shot past Hoflin for a 3-2 Broncos lead. Around the midpoint of the third period, Scott Feser took advantage of a turnover deep in ice territory to extend the lead to 4-2 and Cavin Leth piled on to make it a 5-2 lead late.

When it was all final-ly over, the Ice had only managed a measly four

shots in the final 20 minutes of play with the Broncos outshooting them 37-17 through reg-ulation.

Child was never real-ly tested as he made 15 stops for his third win of the campaign. Heflin was good on 32 of the 37 pucks he faced.

Not to be overlooked, again, was a shorthand-ed bench for Pierce.

The Kootenay bench boss was once again forced to ice a lineup one skater short with six bodies unavailable due to injury or illness.

While River Beattie rejoined the fray for the

first time after missing 10 games with a head injury, lost for the fore-seeable future were for-wards Roman Dymacek and Vince Loschiavo.

“It is almost comical to the point of, you get one in, you lose two,” Pierce said. “I looked the other day, just for punishment’s sake — our roster, Oct. 3 or 4, there are three players from our top-nine for-wards that are playing. That’s difficult. It affects a lot of things — fatigue, roles, but the one big one is chemistry.

“You have Roman and Vince playing in a

top-six role and figuring things out, then they’re out. Practice [Friday], it’s all new line combi-nations. The game today, it’s all new line combinations. It’s tough. Beyond that, the individual work ethic from man to man needs to be way better.”

Saturday’s loss was the ninth consecutive defeat for the Kootenay Ice.

Next up, the Ice host the Red Deer Rebels on 2-for-1 Tuesday at West-ern Financial Place.

TORONTO - Jake Virtanen of the Vancou-ver Canucks was given permission to join Can-ada’s national junior team on Sunday ahead of the world junior hockey championship.

The announcement came just an hour after Hockey Canada completed its first round of cuts to its selection camp roster.

Forwards Pierre-Luc Dubois, Michael Dal Colle and Spencer Watson were cut by Hockey Canada after the second of two exhibition scrimmages be-tween the junior team and a team of Canadian uni-versity all-stars.

Defenceman Jakob Chychrun was also cut by Hockey Canada.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll put a lot of energy into seeing the big picture. As a re-sult, it will become clear which direction you should head in. Friends stand by you and en-courage you to create more of what you want. Tonight: Meet a friend out for munchies after doing some shopping. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have been considering some big, dynamic ideas. A partner could challenge your creativity. Recognize what you want from a project, and focus. An associate wants you to suc-ceed, but he or she seems to be more uptight than you realize. Tonight: All eyes turn to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A discussion will take you down a unique path. You might need to step back in order to see the big picture. You could feel un-comfortable with a situation seems to be problematic. Make an adjustment accordingly. De-tach and become an observer. Tonight: Try something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to switch gears and handle a personal matter differently. You also could opt to let someone else take this on, as this person is so sure of him- or herself. You will free up some spare time if you do. You will ap-preciate the space. Tonight: Time with a special person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a lot of ground to cov-er, and you need to have an im-portant discussion with a friend. Sometimes this person confuses you. Allow your creativity to come out. Your cheerfulness makes all the difference in the outcome. Tonight: Put up your feet and relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others could be confusing, or possibly not on the same page as you. You are practical, while they tend to lean toward being idealistic. That might be the core problem with the conversation you’re about to have. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise if you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to be serious

and think only about business or work. You could have difficulty eliminating all other thoughts. Allow your imagination to drift to other areas of your life. You will need some important infor-mation. Tonight: A boss can be difficult to speak to. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Understand your limits. Your imagination will add more dimension to what would oth-erwise be a dull day. A money matter needs to be sorted out. Someone whom you find to be refreshing and caring adds a new dimension to your day or plans. Tonight: Head home early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will manage to ask the right questions, even if you don’t receive the answers you desire. Do not push so hard to get to a certain point. Recognize that you are coming from a centered space, though you might not be as upbeat as usual. Tonight: Pay bills first. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your instincts will help you dis-cern how to handle a money de-cision. Still, you’ll want to avoid

taking any risks. News, calls and information comes in from a distance. A private discus-sion is likely to illuminate your thinking. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do more listening than talking. A partner will share many ideas, so don’t discount them. Use self-discipline when dealing with your funds. A friend could be taxing and somewhat boring. Listen anyway; he or she might have wisdom to impart. Tonight: Where your friends are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time when making a decision. Wait several days, if that is what you want to do. Time is your ally, even though your partner seems to want to act now. Much more is going to come up, so trust your instincts. Be diligent. Tonight: Relax in front of a warm fire. BORN TODAY Apothecary Nostradamus (1503), actress Patty Duke (1946), actress Miranda Hart (1972)

Dear Annie: I am in a painful position with my mother-in-law. I was pretty sure my husband was talking poorly about me to her, so I asked him whether he had badmouthed me to his mother. He totally denied it, saying, “Absolutely not!” Well, she was visiting recently, and I walked into the room and overheard them both talking negatively about me. I innocently asked what they were discussing and my husband lied outright, saying they were discussing a purchase. My mother-in-law looked like a deer caught in headlights. After she left, I again asked my husband what they were talking about and he reiterated his previous lie. A few weeks later, I got a card in the mail from his mother saying, “If my son ain’t happy, I ain’t happy.” I placed it on my husband’s nightstand. He never said a word and acts as though he didn’t see it. The card has since disappeared. How should I address all of this with my husband and his mom? -- Wife on the Outside Dear Wife: Whether or not your mother-in-law likes you is beside the point. Your husband should not be agreeing with her or worse, egging her on in a race to see who can insult you more. When faced with criticism of his wife, he should defend you. Even when you are in the wrong, he should not be badmouthing you to someone outside the marriage. It’s an emotional betrayal, and it shows disrespect. And over time, it can erode the bonds of your marriage. Tell your husband this must stop and ask him to accompany you to a counselor. If he refuses to admit there is a problem, go without him and work on this. Dear Annie: Often when my husband and I go out with friends, we will see another couple we know along the way. Of course, we politely introduce our friends to the couple. The next thing I know, the two couples are laughing, conversing and setting up a future time to get together. Meanwhile, I’m standing there feeling like chopped liver. This has happened more times than I can count. The people we’ve run into seem to think it’s their right to take custody of our friends. If it hadn’t happened so often, I wouldn’t be so upset. Is there a way to nicely communicate to people that this isn’t OK? -- Annoyed Dear Annoyed: If it’s the same people every time, we’d stop introducing our friends to them. If it is a variety of couples that poach your friends, you have two ways to deal with it: You can be flattered that others like your taste in friends and determine not to be upset by it. Friendships aren’t winner-take-all. Your friends can enjoy the company of others without it changing their friendship with you. The other tactic is to make a brief introduction and then say, “Sorry we can’t stay and chat.” Then escort the couple you are with to the car, down the street, and into the restaurant or wherever you are going. Your mistake is allowing their conversation to go on long enough for them to get to know one another and make plans, while you silently fume on the inside.

Lorraine Tadey 1923 - 2015

Lorraine Tadey’s family wishes to announce her peaceful passing on December 8, 2015 in Penticton. She is survived by her sons (David and Michael), daughter-in-law (Pauline), and two grandchildren (Samantha and Robert). Dusan, Lorraine’s husband of more than 50 years, passed in 2003.

Lorraine was born in Trail in 1923 (she would tell you she was born in 1935 and was just now 80 year old!). After an early childhood in Trail and a brief stopover in Nelson Lorraine relocated to Cranbrook. It was there that Evka Tadey sent her son Dusan across the street to play badminton over the clothesline with the new girl. Their friendship continued through the school years. After graduation Lorraine began her nursing studies at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. Upon her graduation Lorraine accepted her first nursing position in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Upon returning from the war Dusan travelled to Weyburn to propose to his sweetheart. After their wedding they lived in Yahk where Dusan taught school and Lorraine nursed (Creston?). Eventually they returned to Cranbrook where Lorraine began nursing at the Cranbrook hospital. Lorraine nursed for a number of years, stayed at home with her boys, and enjoyed a fun-filled number of years selling real estate for Caldwell Agencies. Lorraine and Dusan travelled extensively throughout Europe, Australia, China, and Canada. They also spent many winters RV’ing in the southern United States. Four years ago Lorraine joined Michael, Pauline, Samantha, and Robert in Penticton where she enjoyed her granddaughter’s ball games, her grandson’s golf escapades, the sunshine, flowers, Wanna Waffles, and summer weekend mornings having a vanilla bean latte at Okanagan beach. Lorraine lived a long, healthy, independent life on her own terms.

Lorraine, Mom, Grandma, Auntie, Great-Auntie, and Friend… - we miss you…

A celebration of Lorraine’s life will be held in Cranbrook at a later date (to be announced). In lieu of flowers please make donations in memory of Lorraine to the

Alpha-1 Canada, 1638 Northway Avenue, Windsor, ON  N9B 3L9. Condolences may be sent to

the family through www.providencefuneralhomes.com. 250-493-1774

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Premier Christy Clark has appoint-ed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a long-time RCMP offi-cer, to the cabinet as public safety minister.

Morris was sworn in Friday at the cabinet office in Vancouver, returning the B.C. government to a system where the public safety minister is re-sponsible for police and prisons, while the justice minister is responsible for courts and Crown prosecutors.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has performed both roles since her election as MLA for Vancouver-Fras-erview in 2013. Clark merged the two roles in 2012, appointing veteran cab-

inet minister Shirley Bond to the com-bined role to review the efficiency of the court system.

“Mike Morris brings strong experi-ence to the executive council as a 32-year veteran of he RCMP and a former North District superintendent,” Clark said in a statement. “Suzanne Anton will continue to spearhead the work to accelerate access to justice, continue justice innovation and will be British Columbia’s lead on the federal gov-ernment’s Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.”

Morris, elected in 2013, was as-signed last July to make recommenda-tions for new penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking that ig-nites forest fires.

NelsoN sTarTwo snowboarders needed to be

rescued after the pair became lost on a trip to a nearby peak.

The two men visiting from Alberta, and their dog, were found cold and tired early Friday morning by Nelson Search and Rescue. The pair were found by a 12-member team, accord-ing to spokesman Chris Armstrong.

Armstrong said the search, which began at 5:30 p.m. Thursday after the snowboarders used limited cell service to alert the RCMP Nelson detachment, was hampered by heavy snow and gusts of wind.

“These guys tracks were getting blown in, so [rescuers] had to predict where they went to keep searching,” said Armstrong.

The snowboarders had thought they were headed up White Queen ridge, just north of Whitewater Ski Re-sort. Rescuers eventually decided the pair hadn’t actually gone up White Queen and instead ended up on near-by Mount Beattie.

The pair were finally found at 2:34 a.m., and returned to the trail head with rescuers after a nearly three-hour hike.

Armstrong said the men were lucky to be found.

“They were prepared. They had all the proper avalanche equipment and gear for a day hike. But they weren’t prepared for the multi-day situation they were headed into,” said Arm-strong.
