Kimberley Nordic Centre is in great shape for skiing, especially after the big dump of snow on Tuesday. The Nordic centre is more than just trails — it features a lodge which always has a fire going for the after ski socializing. The little wax hut, a great little place to hang out, wax your skis and enjoy the wood stove. Everything you need is here. You can even rent a locker and leave your ski gear on site. There is a number of ski programs from the young Jackrabbits up to the Masters program (for the slightly older crowd). For further information follow the Facebook page or check out the website which has up to date trail conditions. Above, trail attendant Emily Newel sells Cal Johnson his seasons pass. By Chris Newel

Busy year for WildSafe BC

WildSafe BC delivers programming in schools, deals with human wildlife issues in

Kimberley and CranbrookC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

It was a busy year for Wildsafe BC’s program in both Kimberley and Cranbrook in 2015. Pro-gram coordinator Sonya Seher delivered edu-cational programs in schools, did media out-reach and public presentations. She also did a little spy work, tagging garbage bags at homes where residents were not obeying garbage by-laws.

It was also a year where human wildlife en-counters were on the rise, Seher noted in a draft report to Kimberley City Council.

Because of a poor berry crop, bear activity was up in both communities, especially Cran-brook. There were also more reports of aggres-sive mule deer does in Kimberley in the spring and summer than in the previous year.

2015 was the first year for WildSafeBC’s Ju-nior Rangers Program. In Kimberley-Cran-brook, this program built on existing school presentations by championing students to take action on wildlife attractants around their home, and to be ambassadors for recreating safety in town and in the backcountry. Partici-pating classes at Cranbrook’s Gordon Terrace Elementary (grade 4) and Kimberley’s Lindsay Park Elementary (grade 3) received two pre-sentations (Bears, Predators/Ungulates) with interactive games and activities, and complet-ed a bear-safe home checklist.

Seher reports that the program was well re-ceived and more teachers have requested it for next year. Grade 4 students proved to be the programs best audience: the students were old enough to receive the material well, but young enough to appreciate the prizes received, she noted.

As for human wildlife conflict, the message remains the same — garbage continues to be the major problem in attracting wildlife.

For 2016, Seher has suggested an earlier start to the program. She notes that in 2015, bears were being reported in early April and by May, a number were already habituated to human food sources.

Seher also reports she had numerous calls from people in the rural areas C and E request-ing program support, mostly around issues with grizzlies and badgers.

Currently, the cities of Kimberley and Cran-brook are the support for the program. If the RDEK stepped in, the program could be deliv-ered to rural areas as well. Seher will be work-ing on securing RDEK funding in 2016.

For the townsman

W ould you like to visit with a num-ber of local Koote-

nay authors? Want a Koote-nay book recommendation? Do you like learning about local stories and history?

Then you are invited to drop in at the Kootenay Au-thors Book Fair, hosted by Lotus Books in downtown Cranbrook. There will be ten authors present at one of biggest book events ever held in Cranbrook.

Enjoy some coffee and goodies and get to know these local Kootenay writers. It all takes place Saturday, Dec. 5, at Lotus Books 33 –10th Avenue South in downtown Cranbrook, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Starting at 2 p.m. there will be a series of 3-minute book reviews. Each author will be given 180 seconds to review their book and state why it should be added to your bookshelf this year.

“We are thrilled to host so many Kootenay authors in our store this year. I think ten authors is a record for us,” said Erin Dalton, owner of Lotus Books. “It promises be a great event showcasing local authors and letting ev-eryone have the opportunity

get to know some of our local area writers.”

Kootenay authors will be in-store all afternoon to sign, chat about and promote their books. A wide variety books will be available for readers to discover includ-ing historical novels, adven-ture stories, tales from yes-teryear, stories of personal triumph, achievement and tragedy and personal memoirs

The Kootenay au-thor’s lineup includes:

Special Guest Amanda Bath of Kaslo, author of Di-saster in Paradise —  Her gripping tale of survival and triumph tells the story of when her mountainside home was struck by the dev-astating Johnson’s Landing mudslides of 2013. Aman-da’s story is heart wrenching and heartwarming at the same time.

Special Guest Jim Cam-eron of Cranbrook —  Pop-ular history buff and Daily Townsman columnist Jim Cameron has produced an exquisite compilation of his newspaper columns about the history and intrigue of Cranbrook’s distance and not-so-distance past. His photo heavy book is called Cranbrook: Then and Now.

Keith G. Powell — Living in the Shadow of Fisher Peak is his first historical novel that tells the story of Jack Fisher, the discoverer of gold

on Wild Horse Creek and namesake of Mount Fisher along with his sec-ond book Raising Kain, the adventurous life of Conrad

Kain. His most recent book is the Fisher Peak Chroni-cles, a collection of Mt. Fish-er themed stories about the prominent peak.

Brendan Gillen — This Cranbrook-based author of has published over a half a dozen adventure stories in the grand tradition of Jack London—man verses the el-ements. His newest book is hot of press with more ad-ventures from Stewart, B.C and joins the likes of Magu-ire’s Last Stand.

Colin Cartwright —  Canal Flat resident and former mayor, Colin Cart-wright knows of what he writes about. His two books are Empty on the Swan and Kootenay Bears capture the essence of the Kootenay wilderness experience. Come meet a genuine story-teller.

Janet Penner of Cran-brook  — Waltzing With Dad: A gift of legacy takes readers from the author’s childhood spent getting to school by dog sleigh, to the challenges of her adult years. This true story has proven to be a page turner. Be pre-pared to read about bear traps, dead soldiers, Gesta-po, mental hospitals, trucks on fire, llamas, being home-

less and more. Bill Roberts of Kimber-

ley — This is the first time popular local writer Bill Roberts has participated in the Kootenay Authors Fair. His amazing book, Best Min-ers in the World: Stories from Canada’s Sullivan Mine is a reader favourite.

Frank McIntyre and Dennis Dilts, Elko and Grasmere — These two ex-perienced cowboys and out-door big game guides have collaborated on a colourful novel that mirrors many of their own adventurous times called A Promise that Bears Honour.

Elinor Florence of Inver-mere — Elinor Florence’s book A Bird’s Eye View has been out almost exactly a year now and has captured the attention and imagina-tion of readers across Cana-da. Elinor has crisscrossed western Canada and some of Ontario promoting her book and now she brings her de-lightful story to Cranbrook.

So why not put a lit-tle Kootenay on your read-ing list this year and check out the Kootenay Au-thors Book Fair and Sale at Lotus Books in downtown Cranbrook, Saturday after-noon, Dec. 5.

Be extremely cautious when approaching

highway maintenance

vehicles

Cranbrook, BC | No-vember 24, 2015 – Win-ter is here so we’re re-minding everyone to please drive safe espe-cially when approach-ing a highway mainte-nance vehicle.

When drivers at-tempt to pass a plow truck, they put them-selves, their passengers, the truck operator and the driving public at risk.

Keep a safe distance and always stay alert. Though you see the plow truck, the plow truck operator might not see you.

· Snowplows move at much slower speeds than other vehicles. On the highway, snowplows normally don’t travel faster than 60 km/hr when plowing or

spreading winter abra-sives.

· Drivers may not be aware that plows are wide and can extend across the centre line of the highway.

· On some highways and bridge structures, two or more snow plows may be staggered across multiple lanes with the plow in front pushing snow towards the plows behind. This is an effec-tive way to quickly clear wide areas so we want to remind drivers to stay behind these plowing operations and to not try to pass.

· Snow plows, salt or sand trucks throw up snow and spray making it difficult to see. Snow plows have limited visi-bility and plow truck op-erators cannot see di-rectly behind their trucks.

· If a snowplow is ap-proaching in oncoming traffic, pull to the right as much as possible and slow down to avoid being hit by winter abra-sives. Operators don’t always have a chance to turn down their spin-

From the highway camera near Black Bear Bridge on Tuesday morning.

Mainroad advises caution near plows

ners when vehicles are passing.

· Please give road maintenance crews room to do their work.

· Remember the road surface ahead of the plow hasn’t been plowed yet therefore please slow down and

be patient. The opera-tor will eventually pull over and let you pass safely.

Please slow down, drive to the conditions, and increase the dis-tance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you.

Mainroad’s 24 hour hotline: 1-800-665-4929. Please report accidents, unsafe road conditions. This hotline is used to update DriveBC, dis-patch additional per-sonnel and record pub-lic communication as required.

The annual Invitational Christmas Gift Show in the Gallery at Centre 64 which was scheduled to open November 24 will now open this Friday, November 27, at 1 p.m. with a public reception the following day, Saturday, November 28, from 2 to 4 p.m. The delay in opening the show is due to the painting of the sprinkler pipes recently installed in the gallery

which requires the erection of scaffolding. The pipes will be painted Tuesday through Thursday this week.

foR the BulletinA Kimberley professional

has joined some prominent company as B.C.’s newest member to the Canadian Can-cer tional Relay For Life Dream Team.

A press release from the Ca-nadian Cancer Society said Dr. Mark Langer, who works at Iris in Cranbrook, is one of up to 10 individuals from around the

province who are hand-select-ed to join this Canada-wide team.

The Dream Team concept originated in Nova Scotia with the aim of bringing community and business leaders together with one common goal: fight-ing cancer. Each leader on the team commits to raising $10,000 to support Relay For Life. For this first-ever National

Dream Team, each of the ten provinces is looking to enlist 10 members to commit to this fundraising goal. That gives this project the ambitious goal of $1 million.

Any money raised by Dr. Langer will aid the Canadian Cancer Society in its mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the lives of those living with the disease.

“I believe that helping those in need is the most rewarding way to spend your time; in giv-ing back to our communities we’re adding to the foundation of a better future for our fami-lies, our businesses, our com-munities and beyond,” Dr Langer says.

LOCAL NEWSDAILY BULLETIN

Public Open House - Parks and Recreation Master PlanThe City of Cranbrook has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan.  The Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years.  The last plan was prepared in 1995 and set the framework for the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, and the new arena and aquatic centre.  The consulting � rm for the Master Plan is Urban Systems.

Starting in April 2015, our consultants engaged the community to provide feedback.  A community survey was undertaken and nine visioning workshops were conducted, including two general public sessions.  The public was invited to send emails or letters at any time.

The public is invited to attend an open house on Thursday November 26th, 2015 from 3pm to 9pm, at Western Financial Place to review the draft recommendations that have emerged from this process.  The open house will provide our residents with an opportunity to provide input on the draft Master Plan.

“I strive to help out where I can, and — hav-ing lost a brother to can-cer — I’m very excited to be a part of the Relay For Life team as we aim to contribute as much as possible to help fund life-saving research.”

With his deep per-sonal connection to brain cancer, Mark will take part in a partner-ship between the Soci-ety and Brain Canada — all donations to his campaign will be desig-nated for brain cancer research and will be matched dollar-for-dol-lar by Brain Canada. Through this partner-ship, the Society is able to leverage matching funds from Brain Cana-da through the Canada Brain Research Fund, a public-private partner-ship established by the Government of Cana-da. “Rather than just ask for donations I thought hosting an event, would be a lot more fun and give me the chance to interact, raise awareness and fundraise at the same time,” Langer said. “Hosting the Guys & Dolls Speakeasy was a great experience and we’re thrilled to have

raised $6,320. The sup-port from the commu-nity and the generosity of those who attended the event has taken me to over 50 per cent to my fundraising goal.

“I’ve already been asked if this will be an annual event, stay tuned!

Lori Stevenson, Team Lead, Community Giving for the Canadian Cancer Society, says Dream Team members share a common desire to raise money for can-cer research, prevention and support programs.

“We are thrilled to have Mark as a member of our National Dream Team,” Stevenson said. “Even more exciting is the fact that Mark is a new supporter of the Society who has joined the Relay For Life Dream Team to increase aware-ness of how cancer im-pacts us all.”

Each year, Relay For Life brings together more than 160,000 peo-ple across Canada to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and empower individuals and com-munities to fight back against cancer. In 2014 in BC and Yukon alone, Relay For Life raised more than $3.5 million.

The Canadian Can-cer Society wants to thank Andre’s Electron-ic Experts, Bohemian Spirits, Bridge Interiors, B104 & The Drive, Culli-gans, Gipman Millwork, Heather Smith, Jim Cameron, Kin Club of Cranbrook, KJubinville Photography – Kristin Jubinville, Lona Wil-liams and Associates, Maui Jim Sunglasses, Mary Ann and Ron Jen-kins of Investors group, Cranbrook Mitsubishi, Sandor Rentals, Save on Foods and Vanessa Dickson with Sun Life Financial and all the volunteers, the Speak-easy could not have happened without you!

Residents are re-minded that those in-terested in getting to work on fire-smarting their properties and neighbourhoods are invited to a Kimberley Fire Department Open House this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire Hall. (Please use the rear entrance on the Mark Creek parking lot side).

The purpose of the meeting is to pass on information on how to fire smart your prop-erty to make it safer from forest fires, and also to find people who may be willing to head up committees to work on entire neighbourhoods.

These so-called community champi-

ons would help orga-nize FireSmart work in neighbourhoods.

The Fire Depart-ment wouldn’t do the work on private lands, but can evaluate and help you make a plan to make your property safer. If you did have a neighbourhood work party, the City could come in with the chip-per to assist in getting rid of fuels.

The Fire Depart-ment’s role is to evalu-ate, give suggestions, then re-evaluate and report to the province.

The workshop will serve to identify and prepare prospective Community Champi-ons to lead their neighborhoods to-wards increased pre-paredness for wildfire.

This will be achieved by providing individuals with the information to recog-nize wildfire hazards; an understanding of simple FireSmart solu-tions; opportunities

Fire Smart meeting this Wednesday

for networking with fire professionals and other concerned resi-dents; and a support-ive process for getting started on local proj-ects to reduce the risk

of wildfire losses. This workshop will be an informative, enjoyable and productive experi-ence.

LETTERS to the EDITORALC changes

Dear Reed Bailey;I must say I left the ALC information

meeting at Wasa feeling very frustrated and discouraged. Maybe you did too. Of course you were just “doing your job”, but your job seemed to be one of defending the indefensible.

It seemed no matter how many times the question was asked, how many people asked it, or how many different twists we gave it, we never got a logical answer – the question being: On what basis are all the small farmable parcels being excluded?

We were told it was because they were in a group of small parcels, or because it made the boundary crooked, which boiled down to you just wanted a new map with neat boundaries.

We were told the parcels could still be farmed and that they could still be subdi-vided. So what exactly is the purpose of the ALR? Apparently not just “to preserve agri-cultural land” (see below). More likely it is to “enable and accommodate farm use of agricultural land and uses compatible with agriculture.” However those uses may be defined by self-interested officials, politi-cians, businesses and developers, interests which are far removed from the basic idea of protecting land for food production, food sustainability and food security.

Exclusion of these lands will definitely facilitate subdivision for “development”, and it will definitely facilitate a tax grab by local governments.

As one speaker pointed out, there is no benefit to her from her land being exclud-ed; the only change for her will be an in-crease in taxes.

Given that many of those present at the meeting are not even applying for exclu-sion, why are you proceeding with this project to exclude parcels on a wholesale basis?

Natural Gas OptionIn September, the Union of BC Mu-

nicipalities (UBCM) met for its annual AGM and made an honourable attempt during their convention to lobby the En-ergy Minister Bill Bennett regarding the building time line for Site C. The request was simple: to have the BC Utilities Com-mission examine the need and cost for Site C before things get too far. This was not an unreasonable request under the circumstances.

For instance, the demand for electrici-ty throughout North America has dropped dramatically as has the price per mega-watt hour. This is in large part due to the use of natural gas powered turbines, which are remarkably cheap to build and maintain even in “green California. 52% of California’s electricity is produced by nat-ural gas.

Energy Minister Bennett rejected the request outright. Perhaps there is a good reason on his part as well. Your hydro utility costs per kWh of energy are sky rocketing in comparison to other natural gas run facilities, such as the Shepard En-ergy Centre in SW Calgary.

The natural gas powered Shepard fa-cility is now up and running and will offer its best customers in Calgary the minimal pricing of 8 cents per kWh until 2020 ! Natural gas is hard and firm power for any utility and not subject to a lack of wind or sun. It is cheap, the cleanest of any fossil fuel and readily available.

We, on the other hand, here in BC will be paying almost 8 cents per kWh on the first 710 kWh and then 12 cents on any additional kWh of energy after the initial 710. (we have a two tier pricing regime whereas the natural gas powered Shepard remains on a single tier of 8 cents/kWh)

Here are the other fiscal factors for BC customers:

Price increase in 2016 – 4%Price increase in 2017- 3.5 %Price increase in 2018 – 3 %

Price increase in 2019 and 2020- to be determined

NO INCREASES for Shepard Energy Centre customers in Calgary until at least 2020.

If you are a typical household of 4 peo-ple you may well be consuming an aver-age of about 2000 kWh/ month. Doing some simple math, by the end of 2020, you will have paid $2900 more than the same typical family in Calgary, using the Shepard Energy Centre’s natural gas pow-ered system.

Perhaps it is time to ask our Energy Minister Bill Bennett why he is so deter-mined not to use the natural gas option when it comes to producing our electrici-ty here at home? It is impossible for Site C to be price competitive with natural gas. After all, that $2900 could still be in your pocket if the Liberal government were to look at the natural gas powered option for electricity in lieu of a taxpayer funded Site C project.

CorrectionA recent article entitled “Cranbrook

Veteran’s Grave Finally Completed” (Townsman, Nov. 18), contained some errors. AC1 Gerald Ward Bradford would not be considered a veteran per se, but war dead, according to the Common-wealth War Graves Commission Canadi-an Agency, who contacted the Townsman in this regard. Veterans survived the war — a war dead is someone who died during one of the World Wars. The article says that the Last Post Fund was involved — the CWGC Canadian Agency received the request to rectify the error on the war grave and researched it, produced the headstone, and had it installed all at its own cost.

Battered Ice look for third consecutive win as Rebels visitWith captain Luke Philp out indefinitely, Kootenay Ice hope to battle back into Western Hockey League playoff picture

Trevor Crawley PhoTo

With captain Luke Philp injured, along with winger Zak Zborosky (far left), the Ice will be looking to the likes of, from left to right, Matt Alfaro, Connor Barley, Jared Legien, Vince Loschiavo and Austin Wellsby for inspiring performances. The Ice host the Red Deer Rebels Wednesday at Western Financial Place.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

If you ask Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce to talk about the impact of 20-year-old Luke Philp, he will tell you the play of his cap-tain has been nothing short of inspirational to this point in the season.

With the crafty cen-treman not expected back until January after undergoing surgery on his right ankle, the Ice will be looking to him for a different sort of motivation as they fight to get back into the WHL’s Eastern Confer-ence playoff picture.

“It’s the most cliche thing in the world -- you don’t replace those guys -- everybody needs to be just a little bit better,” Pierce said of losing Philp. “But the one thing for us is you’ve got to find a way to make it in-spirational.

“I said to our guys, ‘What kind of team do you want to welcome him back to? Do we want to welcome him back to a team that’s fighting and staying alive? Or a group that’s rolled over and died?’”

In the short term, the Ice are fighting and stay-ing alive -- winners of two consecutive games this past weekend.

With the Central Di-vision-leading Red Deer Rebels visiting Cran-brook Wednesday night, the Ice will look to make it three in a row.

Former first-round pick Jared Legien is hop-ing he can do his part to step up and have a big-ger impact with his cap-tain out of the lineup.

After scoring his first-career WHL goal

Nov. 14 in Medicine Hat, the 17-year-old native of Pilot Butte, Sask., mixed it up by getting into his first WHL scrap Satur-day against Swift Cur-rent Broncos centre Conner Chaulk.

“If I can keep putting the puck in the net and keep laying big hits, I’ll do anything to help our team win,” Legien said Tuesday prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “[Philp] is obvi-ously a huge part of our team. It will take a lot to fill his spot, but if each person chips in, hopeful-ly we’ll be able to make up for what we lost.”

After serving a grand total of 17 minutes in penalties for his part in the brouhaha -- a two-minute minor paired with a 10-minute misconduct for instigat-ing and the standard five-minute fighting major -- Legien returned to the ice and continued imposing his 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame on the opposition.

“We’re not the most physical team, so every night I go out there and try to lay a hit -- our motto is lay a hit a shift,” Legien said. “If you can lay one big hit a game, that helps our team.”

With six regular skat-ers expected out of the lineup due to injury, coupled with the four-game suspension of for-ward Shane Allan for a charging major incurred Saturday against the Broncos, there’s plenty of opportunity for play-ers to step into bigger roles and take on bigger minutes.

“It’s a great opportu-nity to get a little bit more experience,” Pierce said. “But at the

same time, they’ve got to be really smart about how they go about it be-cause it can also dam-age you a little bit if you really, really struggle with increased minutes and opportunity. It can hurt you going forward.

“They have to be re-sponsible and not try to play too far over their heads and give us good, quality, safe minutes. We’ve got to find ways to eke things out here.”

The injury list seem-ingly grows with each passing game in Cran-brook. Heading into Wednesday’s mid-week matchup, the Ice will be without defencemen Tyler King (knee, indefi-nite) and Jason Wenzel (head, day to day) as well as an overwhelming group of forwards, in-cluding Philp (ankle, in-definite), right wing Jae-don Descheneau (shoul-der, four to six months), right wing Zak Zborosky (lower body, week to week) and right wing River Beattie (head, one to two weeks).

“It’s a lot of bodies,” Pierce said. “I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything like it in my

time. You look at the league, there are a lot of teams dealing with sim-ilar things.

“It’s adversity, but we can come out of it on the other side, hopefully a better team.”

With affiliate forward Eli Lieffers returning home to Saskatoon fol-lowing a two-game stint over the weekend, the Ice have recalled 17-year-old forward Connor Barley from the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hock-ey League.

Following Wednes-day’s tilt with the Rebels, the Ice visit the Leth-bridge Thursday before returning home for a re-match with the Hurri-canes Saturday night.

Puck drop between the Ice and Rebels is slated for 7 p.m. at West-ern Financial Place.

“They’re a good team,” Legien said. “We just need to shoot the puck, lay the body, get on them hard and fast and come out strong. They’re a good team, so we need to maybe catch them by surprise off the start and get on them early.”

Ice recall Barley from MJHL17-year-old forward expected to debut WednesdayTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice have recalled 17-year-old forward Connor Barley from the Selkirk Steelers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL).

The 6-foot, 174-pound winger was in Cranbrook Tuesday and is expected to be avail-able when the Ice host the Red Deer Rebels Wednesday night.

“Connor Barley got in [Tuesday], so he will practice with us and he’ll be ready to go for the three games this week,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Koo-tenay Ice, Tuesday prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “He’s going to get a chance to play a big part in our lineup, just due to the bodies that we have.

Great opportunity for him.”

Barley, a native of St. Andrews, Man., was on the opening-night roster for the Ice, but didn’t

see any regular-season action before being re-turned to the MJHL Steelers.

In 20 games since landing back in Manito-ba, Barley has collected seven goals and 10 points.

In five pre-season games with the Ice, Bar-ley registered two assists

and a plus-3 rating.Barley was originally

a seventh-round pick (141st overall) of the Ice at the 2013 WHL Ban-tam Draft.

Barley will be wear-ing sweater No. 20 when he suits up Wednesday.

With injuries to six regular skaters and for-ward Shane Allan un-available after being slapped with a four-game suspension as a result of a charging major incurred Saturday against the Swift Current Broncos, the Ice are ex-pected to go without seven regulars when the Rebels visit Cranbrook.

Affiliate player Eli Lieffers, 15, skated in two games with the Ice this past weekend be-fore being returned to the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League.

WINNIPEG - Players gearing up for Sunday’s Grey Cup showdown ar-rived in Winnipeg Tues-day night, planning to enjoy the festivities - but not too much - while they prepare for the big game.

“Yeah, we do curfew,” Ottawa Redblacks coach Rick Campbell told re-

porters shortly after the team’s plane landed.

“I think there’s a bal-ance you can strike of being able to participate and see some things without being in full party mode”.

Players didn’t seem bothered by the idea of a nightly curfew - 11 p.m. in Ottawa’s case.

“I don’t mind be-cause I’m going to be in my bed,” said Redblacks

fullback Patrick Lavoie. “We know what we have to do.”

Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris is gunning for his third Grey Cup ring. The 40-year-old

said the fact the Red-blacks are in the cham-pionship in the fran-chise’s second year is a tribute to the way the players and coaches have gelled.

“With all the growing pains we had to go through as an organiza-tion, as a team last year, it’s created a group of guys that never say die in that locker room.”

The Eskimos won

both regular-season

matchups between the two teams, early in the season in July, but they

are not taking anything for granted going into Sunday.

“It was a dogfight,” defensive lineman Odell Willis said.

“Those guys fought hard. It just so hap-pened we were able to make more plays than they did, and we were able to get the W.”

Quarterback Mike Reilly said Ottawa has come a long way.

“They were a very different team when we played them early in the season and so are we,” he said.

“It’s not a coinci-dence that they’re in the Grey Cup. They’ve been playing great football and they deserve to be there. So we’re going to have to put together a great performance in order to get the win.”

Curfew, focus and fun part of Grey Cup week for players arriving in Winnipeg

Touch base with someone you think might be alone this holiday season. Be more forth-right in your dealings. A family member seems to challenge ev-ery decision you make. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. BORN TODAY Actor Kevin Chamberlin (1963), lawyer John F. Kennedy Jr. (1960), singer/songwriter Amy Grant (1960) ***

Dear Annie: A couple of months ago, I met a guy at a concert and he added me as his friend on Facebook. Except for that one encounter, I don’t really know him. Tonight, I was strolling through Facebook and noticed a very disturbing post he had made. It bothered me so much that I went to his page and saw that the previous two hours had been a stream of disturbing comments alluding to hurting others. Nobody had commented or liked any of his posts, so I went back further on his page. It seems this guy doesn’t have any friends. His page looked like a one-way cry for help. I feel bad for him, but I’m scared to say anything. Is there a way I could get help for him anonymously? I worry that he may hurt himself or others. -- Not a Friend Dear Not: We suggest you visit this guy’s Facebook page and click the link that says “Report.” It will then be checked out by Facebook personnel who can determine how to handle it, and your name will not be mentioned. Though a great many folks post things on Facebook to give the impression that their lives are more interesting than they really are, this guy may be using Facebook simply to vent. Nonetheless, we don’t recommend that you become more involved in what he posts by responding. Dear Annie: My 20-year-old daughter recently became engaged to her 24-year-old boyfriend. My husband and I are delighted. We like her fiance very much. As soon as they set a date, we talked to the groom’s parents about the type of wedding they had in mind. Surprisingly, they told us that, as parents of the bride, we are responsible for all of the expenses, including the minister’s fee. They said that was the rule according to the etiquette books. True to their word, they haven’t offered a penny, even though they can afford it. After “the talk,” we scaled back considerably. We have kept the groom’s parents informed of our plans, so they don’t feel left out. The groom is embarrassed by his parents’ decision not to contribute, but apparently, he either won’t say anything or it hasn’t made any difference. As the deposit checks go out, my disappointment is increasing. I am trying hard to convince myself that the wedding is a gift to my daughter, and I’m hoping the groom’s parents will give to their son in some other way to make up for this. -- Mother of the Bride in Phoenix Dear Mother: While we agree that the groom’s family seems ungenerous, etiquette says that the groom (not necessarily his parents) is responsible for his share of the wedding costs, although what that entails can vary. But it includes the officiant’s fee, the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon, among other things. These days, most couples pay for their own wedding or split the costs between the bride’s family and the groom’s, and we think this is a much more reasonable arrangement. After all, most brides and grooms hold jobs and live independently of their parents. The good news for you is, if you are covering all of the expenses, you get to make all of the decisions. A lot of brides and their parents would be happy with that arrangement. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Born in Dauphin, Manitoba he moved with his family to the Vancouver area. After spending his first career in the Canadian Armed Forces Navy out of Esquimalt, BC, he then became a journeyman sprinkler fitter by trade but there was never a thing he couldn’t fix or do or make, especially if it were with metal. He was a jack of all trades. He loved to cook, build computers, and tease his kids. He was a giant of a man with a kind gentle soul, a huge heart, and a hearty laugh, who was always ready to help anyone with anything. He loved to socialize. From sending daily chess moves to his lifetime childhood friend Gary to the guys at the gun ranges, especially Andy and the gals at the pool. You never saw him without a huge smile on his face, ever-ready for any conversation.  

He is survived by his best friend and wife of 40 years Sharon, daughter Denise (Aaron) in Kimberley, son Jeff in Ottawa, mother Gertrud Rakebrand, sister Ilse (Rick) Ryan and their children and families in Surrey, BC, brothers-in-law Kevin (Trudy) Fitzpatrick in Wycliffe, Gerry (Lynn) Fitzpatrick in Kimberley, sister-in-law Charleen (Rae) Melmoth in Edmonton and each and every one of their children. Henry was predeceased by his father Hermann Rakebrand and his father and mother-in-law Simon and Mary Ellen (Helen) Fitzpatrick. 

Cremation has taken place. There will be no service at his request. In the spring there will be held a casual gathering of any friends and family to share those special memories of Henry. Date, place and time will be announced at a later date.

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

For the townsmanOn November 27 the

roofline atop the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital will welcome the annual lighting of stars as part of the 8th annual Starlite Campaign.   The Starlite Campaign is the signature holiday event of East Kootenay Foun-dation for Health.

Donna Grainger, Ex-ecutive Director for EKFH reports that the pre-holiday fundraising drive is having a re-markable impact al-ready with a record

breaking start of $54,526 in donations.

 These donations are  lighting seven large stars:  (1) Billie’s Star (Eagles Nest RV Resort), (2) Eagles Nest RV Re-sort & Key City Old-Tim-ers, (3) Anonymous Do-nation, (4 & 5) Margaret Delmont in memory of Ed Delamont, (6) Elk Valley Thrift Shop and (7) The Madsen Family in memory of Gerhardt Madsen; and seven small stars:  (1 & 2) Anonymous donations, (3) Kimberley Dynamit-

ers, (4, 5, 6 & 7) accumu-lated public donations to kick off the campaign.

This year’s campaign is raising funds for re-gional and community health programs with a  fundraising goal to raise $150,000 to light 17 large stars ($5,000 per star) and 24 small stars ($2,500 per star).  These programs are dedicated to helping those with ar-thritis, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory needs, and more or for those that may require help with chronic dis-

ease management, home nursing, in-home oxygen,  wound,  senior, pediatric  and self-care programs.  More often than not these programs have smaller equipment needs.  However the im-pact those pieces of equipment and patient

education tools can de-liver through these pro-grams can often help people who wouldn’t have had anywhere else to turn to for assistance.  

We all know life can change in an instant; it is comforting to know that donations made to

EKFH will have a direct impact on the care avail-able right here at home.Your donation plays a crucial role in EKFH’s mission to provide funding for the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital and other commu-nity facilities in comple-menting the health care needs of the region. 

Making a donation

and spreading the word about our activities and the work we do will go a long way towards mak-ing a difference for your health, your family, your our friends, your hospi-tal and the health care facilities in your com-munity.  To make a gift to the Starlite Campaign visit www.ekfh.ca.
