There’s nothing we in Kimberley enjoy more than hearing about the success of a Kimberley native, especially kids.

This week’s good news comes in the form of one Natasha Singer, who is playing for the University of Wisconsin Superior Yellowjackets this year as a freshman goalie.

Natasha, born in Kimberley, is a product of the Warner Hockey School in Alberta.

This week she has been named as WIAC Athlete of the Week.

Singer started both games for the Yellow-jackets as they played at n a t i o n a l l y - r a n k e d UW-Stevens Point and helped the team pick up three of a possible four points.

It’s not the heady years of mid-2000s when condo units on the ski hill were going up at a frantic pace, but it’s also not the grim years post-2008 when the global recession slowed construction to almost a standstill.

The City of Kimberley is experiencing a good year for construction, the best in five years.

Review of the Alan Brecker

Quartet concert at Studio 64 on

Saturday, November 21

Submit ted by mike RedfeRn

Saturday night’s fourth and final concert in the Live at Studio 64 jazz & blues concert se-ries for 2015 was a return to the ‘contemporary’ jazz/fusion of the 60s to 80s, rife with jazz inter-pretations of standards such as Gershwin’s “Summertime” and songs made popular by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and others of that era. The Alan Brecker Quartet, composed of what he modestly but in-accurately described as ‘a bunch of session mu-sicians brought together to play the music they love’ transformed the mood in Studio 64 into what I fondly imagine would be the atmo-sphere of a jazz night club in New York or LA or some other great city with a strong musical culture.

This was music that appealed as much to the intellect as to the emo-tions. While for the jazz purists in the audience the evening’s perfor-mance was an over-whelming success, for others it was an intro-ductory immersion in this style of jazz. As one of the audience mem-

Centre 64 Blues/Jazz series ends on a high notebers described it, “At the beginning, each tune played was usually read-ily recognizable, then the musicians would wan-der off and take us on an incredible musical jour-ney that eventually brought us back to the familiar.” Pianist Alan Brecker’s fingers danced across the keys of the grand piano, playing around almost mischie-vously with the melody lines; I can see how he got his nickname ‘Fin-gers Fred’ and could well imagine him as the solo entertainer in a luxury hotel lounge or aboard a cruise liner, both of which he has done in many parts of the world. He led on every number on Saturday night but in-dulged all the members of his quartet with solo after solo during the 2-hour performance.

On the 6-string elec-tric bass Stephano Valdo not only provided rhythm accompaniment to piano and saxophone but also performed intri-cate, thoughtful solos that seemed to draw re-spect as well as pleasure from the attentive audi-ence. Perhaps the most enthusiastic applause of the night went to drum-mer Tyler Hornby, ap-pearing for the third time in recent history at Cen-tre 64, who once again proved his musical mas-tery of the drum set in several dynamic solos during the night. And providing the smooth, sexy sounds that helped create that magical jazz club atmosphere was

saxophonist Pat Belli-veau, a man whose biog-raphy lists performances with many of the great names in contemporary music. All four of these Calgary musicians have led their own groups in recordings and concerts and this was not the first time they had come to-gether to weave their

magic. I’m sure everyone in

the audience at Studio 64 appreciated this op-portunity to enjoy such sophisticated jazz in our home town. The enjoy-ment was reciprocated. As Brecker commented to the staff at Mountain Spirit Resort where the band was accommodat-ed, “Calgary doesn’t

have half the hipness of this little town.” MC Keith Nicholas, chair of Kimberley Arts Council’s Live at Studio 64 com-mittee, thanked both Mountain Spirit Resort and the Burrito Grill for their continued spon-sorship of the Live at Stu-dio 64 concerts.

From Page 3Without exception the

visiting artists are im-pressed with the accom-modation and meals they receive as part of their payment for performing at Studio 64. They are equally impressed by the responsive and respectful full houses they play for at Studio 64 and often ask to be invited back. The Alan Brecker Quartet was no exception.

With financial assis-tance from the proceeds of the Symphony on the Mountain concert in July, Kimberley Arts Council has been able to install lighting and curtains, decorative artworks and cabaret-style small tables in Studio 64 to enhance the experience of those attending concerts there. To complete the furnish-ings of the concert studio, the arts council plans to purchase a collapsible stage once funding has been obtained in order to elevate the performers so that the audience mem-bers seated further back in the room can see as

well as hear the perform-ers. There is a certain amount of frustration in listening to a lightning piano performance but not being able to see the pianist’s fingers fly. The Centre 64 dance studio is steadily being trans-formed into an inviting concert space to comple-ment the theatre perfor-mance space upstairs. Both of these facilities will stage concerts in the

spring of 2016, including the Canadian Celtic band Blackthorn in Studio 64 and the Small World Project’s 1001 Nights cine-concert, combining a feature length animated classic film with a live concert in the theatre, both happening in March to kick off yet another season of classy enter-tainment in Kimberley’s Centre 64 arts centre.

B.C. BIRtHdaYA well attended

meeting of represen-tatives of various Kim-berley and district or-ganizations decided that some part of the new hospital will be Kimberley’s project to mark B.C.’s Centenni-al year and that the hospital be named Kimberley and Dis-trict Centennial Hos-pital.

A number of other projects were pro-posed and discussed, including a play-ground for Lois Creek, an arch at the city lim-its, work on the arena and completion of the Canadian Legion Building.

Alderman Beduz stated that work had been allocated this year for the play-ground but had to be diverted to Creek work and he felt sure the new council would accept it as a city proj-ect.

An entrance arch-way was felt to be too intangible a project and of too little com-munity value to be ac-cepted by the provin-cial Centennial Com-mittee, which allo-cates the grants.

As only $7000 is ex-pected from them, with no guarantee of matching by Cominco as the money is not from public subscrip-tion, there was no chance of completing either arena or Le-gion.dYNaMIteRS WIN FIRSt Road gaMe

Kimberley Dyna-miters, playing their first game of the sea-

son, blasted Leth-bridge Allisters of the Alberta Big Six League with a 9 – 1 score Sat-urday night.

The game, played in Blairmore to offi-cially open that cen-tre’s new arena, was witnessed by close to 900 fans.

Allisters, short two regular players, but boasting many famil-iar names, opened play in impressive fashion, presing the Kimberley defence and goaltender Earl Betker.

At the 3:15 mark, Betker sustained a sprained ankle, but returned to action, to give his usual stand-out performance.

Withstanding the Albertan’s attack, Dy-namiters settled down, and at the six minute mark, drew first blood, Gerry Barre firing home a pass from defence-man Elmer Pelts.

Ken McTeer, start-ing on his eventual four-point perfor-mance, teamed with Gerry Barre and Red Mathews to send Dy-namiters two up and close the first period of scoring.

In the second, the lead was increased to four, Verne Kuntz and Ray McNiven driving home McTeer passes, followed by Lister, at 14:50, scoring Leth-bridge’s first and last goal.

At 15:35 Barry Craig, teamed with Buzz Mellor and 16 year old Alan Patter-son to score Kimber-ley’s fifth goal.

Third period of play saw Dynamiters continue their on-slaught, and fire home four unanswered goals, Verne Kuntz, McTeer and Craig scoring their second goals and defence stalwart Gord Andre hitting the hemp by way of a nifty solo rush.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. EYE ON YOUR CITYWinter Travelling Tip of the Week – Lower your speed to match road conditions. No matter how much driving experience you have, the way your vehicle will move on snow or ice is unpredictable. The posted speed is the maximum speed for ideal conditions. Plow Trucks – Winter has arrived so please drive safe, especially when approaching a highway or City maintenance vehicle. When drivers attempt to pass a plow truck, they put themselves, their passengers, the truck operator, and the driving public at risk. Even though you see the plow truck, the operator might not see you. Please remember:• Snowplows move at much slower speeds than other vehicles. On the

highway, snowplows normally don’t travel faster than 60 km/hour when plowing or spreading winter abrasives.

• Drivers may not be aware that plows are wide and can extend across the center 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 e� ective 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 di� cult to see. Snow plows have limited visibility and plow truck operators cannot see directly behind their trucks.

• If a snowplow is approaching in oncoming tra� c, pull to the right as much as possible and slow down to avoid being hit by winter abrasives. Operators don’t always have a chance to turn down their spinners 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 operator will eventually pull over and let you pass safely.

To report accidents and unsafe road conditions, please use Mainroad’s 24 hour hotline at 1.800.665.4929.

Call for Public Library Board Members – The City of Kimberley is inviting applications for memberships on the Kimberley Public Library Board. Membership will be for a 1 or 2 year term, commencing January 2016. Please see the ad in this week’s paper for more information.

CELEBRATING 25YRS of building beautiful homes in the Kootenays

Kimberley, BC… The old saying ‘Pretty in Pink’ took on a new meaning when players of the Kimberley Dyna-miters donned pink jer-seys for the month of October. The player’s jerseys were then auc-tioned off with proceeds being donated to East Kootenay Foundation for Health for its annual Starlite Campaign.

Not only did the players look pretty in pink, they played well in pink and they encour-aged their fans to bid on the pink. The fans did not disappoint and showed the Dynamiters organization their ap-preciation with an amazing $3,000 secured through the jersey auc-tion.

However, the Dyna-miters’ story doesn’t end there. For a second time the hockey club is partnering with pad-dlers from the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat Association to purchase

a $13,500 sentinel biop-sy probe for the regional hospital. The probe benefits surgical proce-dures for breast cancer patients.

“We are extremely grateful to the Kimber-ley Dynamiters for their continued support. Their gift combined with that of the Abreast in the Rockies Dragon-boat Association to pur-chase this probe is truly a win win situation for those receiving a breast cancer diagnosis,” shares Donna Grainger, EKFH Executive Direc-tor.

Help light a path for others this holiday sea-son by making a gift to EKFH’s annual Starlite Campaign in support of community health pro-grams in your area.

For more informa-tion call Donna or Patri-cia at 1-877-489-6481 or on-line at www.ekfh.ca.

We use vegetable-based inks, and our newsprint, tin and aluminum waste is recycled.

From page 1The number of new

dwelling units in-creased significantly with 22 new units started as of October 31, where only 12 – 14 units were started by the same date over the previous five years.

Building permit construction values totalled $8,992,500 to the end of October, compared to a low of $4,943,480 up to $7,448,644 over the same period in previ-ous years.

Council has been

aware that a good year was going on since the summer, when it was noted that Kimberley was leading the way for the entire East Kootenay.

“We’re not at the top of the list now, Cranbrook is,” McCor-mick said, noting that the city is also almost three times the size. “But relatively speak-ing, we are having an amazingly strong year.”

“We’re happy to see the increased ac-tivity this year,” says

McCormick. “It is a positive indicator of confidence in Kim-berley and the great environment for con-struction and invest-ment in our commu-nity.”

“It has been a very busy year for con-struction,” said CAO Scott Sommerville, “We were anticipating a slightly busier con-struction season based on the level of inquiries last winter, but this is well ahead of our expectations.”

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) has begun their annual book drive in the community. Gently Used books for all ages (tots to teens) are needed for the Food Bank Christmas Ham-pers. Thanks to the

community’s generous response each year, the book drive is very suc-cessful and the books are always greatly ap-preciated by the chil-dren and families. Each family receives books for all of their children, providing welcome gifts under the tree. What could be better than knowing children will receive a good book at Christmas!

Please drop off do-nated books (for all ages) in the Christmas boxes located at the Food Bank bins at

Overwaitea and Mark Creek Market. Drop-offs can also be made at the Early Learning Center (front en-trance), the Library or any of the schools by Dec 9th.

For further informa-tion on donating books, or to find out more about Literacy pro-grams and volunteer opportunities in Kim-berley, please contact Carol Fairhurst, Com-munity Literacy Coor-dinator (Kimberley) at (250) 687-4681. Email [email protected].

T he key fact is that the Russian plane, by Turkey’s own admission, was in Turkish airspace for precisely sev-

enteen seconds. That’s a little less time than it takes to read this paragraph aloud. The Turks shot it down anyway – and their allies publicly backed them, as loyal allies must.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stolten-berg declared: “We stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our NATO ally, Turkey.” President Barack Obama called his Turkish counter-part, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to assure him that the Unit-ed States supported Tur-key’s right to defend its sov-ereignty. But privately, they must have been cursing Er-dogan. They know what he’s up to.

This is the first time in more than fifty years that a NATO plane has shot down a Russian plane, and it happened in very suspicious circumstances.

Even if Turkish radar data is to be be-lieved, the two Russian SU-24s only crossed the bottom of a very narrow ap-pendix of Turkish territory that dangles down into Syria. As Russian President Vladimir Putin said: “Our pilots, planes did not threaten Turkish territory in any way. ” What harm could they have done in seventeen seconds?

Moreover, the two Turkish F-16s that brought one of the Russian planes down had only seventeen seconds to get into position to fire their air-to-air missiles over Turkish territory. It would have been hard to do, in that confined space, without crossing into Syrian territory themselves.

According to the Russian radar data, it was the Turkish planes that crossed into Syrian territory. In this version of the story, the Russian planes were following a well-established route just south of the Turkish border, probably turning into a

bomb run against Syrian rebels in Latakia province. How strange that there was a Turkish TV crew in northern Syria, posi-tioned just right to film the incident. (The Russsian plane crashed 4 km. inside Syria.)

Either way, it seems quite clear that President Erdogan really wanted to shoot down a Russian aircraft, and that the Turk-ish pilots were under orders to do so if they could find even the slightest pretext. So why would Erdogan want to do that?

President Putin said bitterly that Erdogan and his colleagues were “ac-complices of terrorists”. That’s hard to deny: Erdo-gan is so eager to see Syr-ia’s President Bashar al-Assad overthrown that he left the Turkish-Syrian

border open for four years so that recruits and supplies could reach the Syrian rebel groups, notably including Islamic State (IS).

Putin also observed that “We have long been recording the movement of a large amount of oil and petroleum products to Turkey from IS-occupied territories. This explains the significant funding the terror-ists are receiving.”

Black-market oil is Islamic State’s larg-est source of revenue, and almost all of it goes to Turkey – which could not happen without the Turkish government’s active connivance. And when the Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, was driving Assad’s forces back in northwestern Syria last spring, Turkey jammed the Syrian ar-my’s telecommunications to help the reb-els win.

Erdogan is utterly determined that Assad must go, and he doesn’t really care if Assad’s successors are Islamist extrem-ists. But he also wants to ensure that there is no new Kurdish state on Turkey’s south-ern border.

That is a problem for him, because that

state already exists in embryo. It is called Rojava, a territory that the Syrian Kurds have carved out in the far north of the country along the Turkish border, mainly by fighting Islamic State. Indeed, the Syri-an Kurds are the US-led coalition’s only effective ally on the ground against IS.

When Erdogan committed the Turkish air force to the Syrian war in July, he ex-plained it to the United States as a deci-sion to fight against Islamic State, but in fact Turkey has made only a token handful of strikes against IS. Almost all Erdogan’s bombs have actually fallen on the Turkish Kurds of the PKK (who had been observ-ing a ceasefire with the Turkish govern-ment for the past four years), and above all on the Syrian Kurds

Erdogan has two goals: to ensure the destruction of Assad’s regime, and to pre-vent the creation of a new Kurdish state in Syria. He was making some progress on both objectives – and then along came the Russians in September and saved the Syr-ian army from defeat, at least for the mo-ment.

Worse yet, Putin’s strategy turns out to be quite pragmatic, and even rather at-tractive to the United States despite all the ritual anti-Russian propaganda emitted by Washington. Putin wants a ceasefire in Syria that will leave everybody where they are now – except Islamic State, which they can all then concentrate on destroying.

This strategy is now making some headway in the Vienna ceasefire talks, but it is utterly abhorrent to Erdogan because it would leave Assad in power in Damas-cus, and give the Syrian Kurds time to consolidate their new state. How can he derail this Russian-led project?

Well, he could shoot down a Russian plane, and try to get a confrontation going between Russia and NATO.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

T hank you to the 63,203 people who voted in the October 19, 2015 elec-tion. Almost 74% of eligible voters

in Kootenay Columbia took that walk to the polls, which was amongst the highest in Canada! This election was an excellent ex-ample of how every vote counts, and it is an honor to serve you as your Member of Par-liament. So what’s been happening in the first month?

Starting out as a Mem-ber of Parliament is incred-ibly busy. One of the chal-lenges is setting up offices — my plan is to have staff in Ottawa, Nelson and Cranbrook for January 4, 2016. This involves leasing new space and furnishing the offices with the recycled inventory used by the former MP as the furniture, computers, etc., are all owned by the House of Commons. I plan on having one staff person in Ottawa and four in the rid-ing so that you get good service here at home!

We are assigned office locations in Ot-tawa based on “standing,” so for this 42nd Session of Parliament Liberal MPs picked their offices first, Conservative MPs sec-ond, and we are in process of picking our offices now. The next update will include my Ottawa office information — even if we’re picking third it is an honor to have

an office on Parliament Hill!I also have to hire the staff. The NDP

has unionized Constituency and Parlia-mentary Assistants and since we went from 103 seats to 44 in the election, there are several hundred qualified people in Ottawa who, under the contract, get the first opportunity to bid on the jobs both in Ottawa and across the country. That pro-cess is underway.

The MP has to serve their constituents whether permanent staff is in place or not. In the last month I have attended meetings and events in Fernie, Cran-brook, Creston, Invermere, Nelson, Kaslo and John-son’s Landing. There have

been phone calls (250.919.9104) and emails ([email protected]) and let-ters (PO Box 872, Cranbrook V1C 4J6 until January 1 and then send mail to Unit B – 111 7th Ave S, Cranbrook V1C 2J3) to an-swer.

There have been about 100 letters so far including those waiting for me in Otta-wa. Experienced MPs have told me that once everything is up and running an MP can expect to get between 300 and 500 emails per day. If you have sent me some correspondence and haven’t heard back yet please be patient – you will get a re-sponse! Phone me if it is urgent.

In the last month I was also in Ottawa for five days participating in an intensive orientation focused on finance and admin and the non-parliamentary aspects of being an MP. We are given a budget that includes staff salaries, office leases, pro-viding information to constituents, in-rid-ing travel, etc. If we go over it we pay for it out of our own pockets!

On average we spend over six months of the year in Ottawa participating in Par-liament and other national responsibili-ties (for example I am the NDP critic for National Parks) so I also have to find ac-commodation in Ottawa. The balance of the year is spent traveling around the rid-ing meeting with constituents.

Our job as the Progressive Opposition is to make government and Canada better, and that is exactly what we will do!

Parliament begins on December 3 and continues until December 11 before breaking for Christmas. My next update will include a look at what it’s like to sit in the House of Commons as your MP. I’m sure it will be an exciting and humbling experience!

Have a happy Holiday Season and a great New Year! I hope to see many of you during the break when I start my Coffee With Your MP sessions around the riding!

I think that history will judge the cur-rent mess in the Middle East as hav-ing been exacerbated by the United States’ response to the airplane at-

tacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. While there is no question the horrors of that day were intended to induce terror, the U.S. government had a choice to respond to the devastation as a crime or an act of war. It is hardly a sur-prise that a government that included the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove chose the latter.

The response was not surprising, but nor was it unprecedented. Americans like their wars, even if they don’t involve attacks on Third World is-lands and other inferior opponents. Suc-cessive administrations have declared “wars” on crime, poverty, drugs and other flavours of the day, even appointing “czars” (an odd choice for a title if there ever was one) to lead various crusades.

If the choice to craft a war-like re-sponse to the 9-11 events was predictable, the details weren’t. Invading Iraq and Af-ghanistan, two crappy examples of na-tionhood to be sure, might have had an appeal but neither mission had a direct connection to the terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabian nationals were at the controls and their financing almost certainly came from their home country, but Saudi Ara-bia gets the same free pass as Israel from the U.S. Both countries seem to have carte blanche to behave badly without threat of retaliation from their buddies across the Atlantic.

By labelling the air attacks an act of war, the U.S. (and its allies) gave instant credibility to all the misfits and miscreants who see no future in building their own countries up, and so seek to tear others down. Being classed as warriors instead of crooks played right into their hands, giv-

ing them a cachet amongst their own and elevating the fear of citizens around the world.

As radicals in largely impoverished countries work to recruit others to their cause of dismantling the western world, their

prospects improve dramatically when they promote their actions as a call to war. It wouldn’t be as fashionable to join up with a bunch of seedy criminals as it is go to war and fight for a cause in the name of Islam.

As brighter minds than me have point-ed out recently, Islam is not the problem democracies have to be concerned with. Most major religions have been used over the course of history as an excuse to kill others. Christianity is no exception.

If the choice had been to respond to terrorism as criminal activity, the buildup that led to ISIS might not have come so easily. If there really is some kind of sick belief that blowing up oneself and others creates a path to the hereafter, it doesn’t seem likely that it would have become so widespread if we in the west viewed them as criminals.

At every step of the way since 9-11, the western response has rewarded the radi-cals. They want to be seen as martyrs and

they want us to be anti-Islam. It feeds their own pathetic worldview and tells them that they are on the right path. We did, after all, fall hook, line and sinker for the rhetoric of our own leaders when we were told about “weapons of mass destruction” (as if nuclear arms don’t qualify) and some actually believed George W. Bush’s assertion that Iraqis would greet invading troops with bouquets of flowers as we worked to “win their hearts and minds”.

So now we have this roving state we call ISIS, in which terrorists commit unspeak-able crimes (yes, crimes) against what we mistakenly believe to be their own people on a mission that really has no goal other than to disrupt and create havoc. Heck, if I was living in squalor and misery with no hope for a better future, it wouldn’t take much to rouse me to a level of hatred against those whose lives are luxurious by comparison, and not devoid of hope.

The saddest evidence that our own “war on terror” has backfired is in the re-sponse by those who decry taking in refu-gees, claiming it puts us at risk of the ne’er-do-wells who blow things and people up in the name of Allah. The same knuckle-heads who think that free trade is OK even if it reduces a signatory country’s own sovereignty suddenly get all huffy and par-anoid about people who fear for their own lives in ways we cannot even imagine.

Game and set to the terrorists. We are going to have to get a lot smarter, and not meaner, if we want to have any hope of winning the match.

For 40 minutes, the Kootenay Ice managed to go toe to toe, blow for blow with the WHL’s Central Division-leading Red Deer Rebels. But 40 minutes doesn’t make a hockey game as the Reb-els skated out of Cran-brook with a 5-2 victory Wednesday night.

“We made it harder than it needed to be,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Wednesday night. “Our compete level was there.

“No one quit. No one gave up. We kept fight-ing there.”

No one would’ve blamed Pierce’s squad if they had folded the tent midway through the second period.

After Rebels centre Lane Pederson struck in the first period to open the scoring, the visitors banged home two tallies in a span of 1:49 midway through the second to take what should have been a commanding 3-0 lead.

What appeared to be broken plays in the of-fensive end of the rink ended up as goals for Red Deer as both Ivan Nikolishin and Jeff de Wit capitalized on loose pucks sliding in near the blue paint of Ice goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin.

For an Ice squad that has struggled to score this season -- the team’s 53 goals through 25 games ranks only ahead of the Everett Silvertips’ 52 goals (in 21 games) -- a three-goal deficit very well could’ve meant the end of the night, espe-cially considering the likes of captain Luke Philp along with snipers Jaedon Descheneau and Zak Zborosky were amongst the wounded.

But rather than roll over, the beaten, black-and-blue Kootenay Ice found a way to battle back into the contest.

Veteran Matt Alfaro served as the first spark for the Ice.

Parked at the side of the net, the 19-year-old centre collected a re-bound, burying it past a helpless Trevor Martin on the man advantage to get the hosts on the

board with 4:58 remain-ing in the middle period.

Sophomore forward Vince Loschiavo was an offensive catalyst, nab-bing the primary assist on Alfaro’s power-play tally before getting in on the goal-scoring action himself.

Only 69 seconds elapsed off the clock fol-lowing Alfaro’s marker before Loschiavo snapped home a quick shot and suddenly, the visiting Rebels found themselves clinging to a one-goal lead as the Ice pressed.

“For the most part, I thought our effort was really good,” Loschiavo said after finish up with a goal and an assist Wednesday. “We played a hard-fought game, es-pecially with some of our key guys out of the lineup.

“We have a really hard-working group. We’ve been down be-fore. We just knew once we got one that we could come back. We got with-in one and just couldn’t get one more in the third [period].”

The third period rolled around and the big-bodied Rebels showed why they will be tough to beat when hosting the 2016 Mas-terCard Memorial Cup.

A questionable boarding call on former Rebels defenceman and Kootenay Ice import Mario Grman made a tall task even tougher less than five minutes into the final period.

Led by the big-bod-ied presence of 6-foot-3, 196-pound Adam Musil, the Rebels showed why they will be tough to beat

when the time comes to host the 2016 Master-Card Memorial Cup.

Musil, an 18-year-old prospect of the St. Louis Blues, parked himself on Hoflin’s doorstep and cleaned up a loose puck only 26 seconds into the man advantage and the Rebels extend-ed the lead to 4-2.

Less than five min-utes later with Ice wing-er Austin Wellsby serv-ing a slashing minor, the big Musil went right back to his office where he found another re-

bound opportunity to cash in on and put the game out of reach at 5-2.

“It was unfortunate in the third [period] with the penalty to Mario,” Pierce said. “That was a really tough one to swal-low. They capitalize on that and it kind of put the nail in us.”

Between the pipes, Martin turned aside 19 of the 21 shots directed his way for his fifth vic-tory of the season.

At the other end of the rink, the 20-year-old Hoflin was once again busy as he made 41 stops on 46 shots.

Wednesday’s loss marked the third time this season the native of Spruce Grove, Alta., has

faced more than 45 shots in a game. The veteran netminder pre-viously saw 46 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers on Oct. 16 and shortly after weath-ered a 43-shot barrage from the Tigers in a 4-3 victory on Nov. 6.

To call the Kootenay Ice (6-17-2-0) battered at this point is an under-statement.

Pierce was left with nine regular forwards available for use Wednesday, rounding out the forward group to 10 bodies with Bryan Allbee -- typically a de-fenceman -- who served as the team’s sec-ond-line left winger.

“I told the guys, ‘You’re all being held to a higher standard be-cause you’re all top-nine guys,’” Pierce said. “That’s as many for-wards as you have. You want those minutes, you want to play in that role -- everybody does. But that comes with a little bit of added pressure and expectation.

“Bryan has some of-fensive touch to his game and obviously we need that. He can make good reads offensively and I think he under-stands the game plan that way, too. It’s a huge sacrifice from Bryan and

that’s what we’re going to need from lots of guys on our team.”

Wednesday’s loss snapped a modest two-game winning streak for the Ice, who jump on the bus to visit the Leth-bridge Hurricanes (14-9-0-0) Thursday at 7 p.m.

“We’ve got to remem-ber [Wednesday] when we had success we fol-lowed the plan,” Pierce said, looking ahead to Thursday’s tilt in Leth-bridge. “Nobody’s look-ing for style points here. We have to understand that. It’s not going to be pretty, but we need to expect to win games.

“If you approach it thinking you’ve already lost the game. You may as well not even get off the bus. To me, we ex-pect to win. It doesn’t need to be pretty and it probably can’t be pretty, but we’ve got to remem-ber the things that led to success [Wednesday].”

The Rebels (17-8-0-0) set off for Medicine Hat, where they take on the Tigers Friday evening.

Avalanche setter Alex Cassels (#9), middle blocker Spencer Janzen (#14) and outside hitter Patrik Toze (#11) get up for the block Saturday in PACWEST volleyball action against University of the Fraser Valley.

Avalanche men split weekend to maintain mid-pack standingLady Avalanche also earn split with University of the Fraser Valley Cascades as PACWEST season progresses

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volleyball team (4-4) maintained its mid-pack standing in the competitive PACWEST Conference this past weekend, earn-ing a two-match split with the University of the Fraser Valley Cas-cades (5-5).

The Avs started the weekend off on the right foot with a 3-1 victory (25-21, 25-16, 21-25, 25-23) over the Cascades.

Outsider hitter Patrik Toze was a key cog throughout the week-end, earning Avalanche Athlete of the Week honours.

The 6-foot-5 native of Queensland, Australia, landed 13 kills along with two blocks and one service ace en route to Friday’s 3-1 win.

Middle blocker Spencer Janzen helped lead the way for the Avs, crushing 11 kills and getting up for five blocks over the course of the match.

Saturday, Toze con-tinued his strong play, getting up for seven kills in a 3-0 loss (20-25, 23-25, 17-25) to the Cas-cades.

After six weeks of PACWEST action, Toze is off to an electric start, sitting fourth in the con-ference in overall of-fense (103 kills, 10 aces, 125 total offense).

Brazilian import Julio Lins led the way for the Avalanche on Satur-day, landing 12 kills.

On the other side of the net, outside hitter Joel Kleingeltink pow-ered the Cascades with 13 kills and two service aces in Saturday’s tri-umph.

The Avalanche will

look to continue their climb up the PACWEST standings this week as they close out the first half of the season on the road.

Thursday and Friday evening, the fourth-place Avs visit the sixth-place Vancouver Island University Mariners (4-6) before carrying on to play the first-place Camosun College Char-gers (10-0) Saturday and Sunday.

PACWEST Men’s Standings

1) Camosun College (10-0, 20 points); 2) Douglas College (7-3, 14); 3) University of the Fraser Valley (5-5, 10); 4) College of the Rock-ies (4-4, 8); 5) Capilano University (4-6, 8); 6) Vancouver Island Uni-versity (4-6, 8); 7) Co-lumbia Bible College (0-10, 0)

Lady Avs keep pace in PACWESTTaylor rocc a

The College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s volleyball squad (2-6) did its best to keep pace in the tight PACWEST race this past weekend, battling to a hard-fought split with the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades (3-7).

The Cascades showed no signs of slug-gishness after making the trek to Cranbrook fro the Lower Mainland, claiming a 3-1 victory (14-25, 25-21, 25-20, 25-18) to open the weekend Friday night.

Cascades outsider hitter Kelly Robertson was lethal in the win, claiming 13 kills and throwing up three blocks to boost her club.

On the other side of the net, outsider hitter Kelsey Thompson land-

ed an impressive 18 kills to lead the attack for the Lady Avs.

Middle blocker Ken-nedy Koop played a vital role all weekend, earn-ing Avalanche Athlete of the Week honours.

Friday, the 5-foot-11 first-year from Niver-ville, Man., scored five kills and six blocks, be-fore working in three kills and four blocks Sat-urday afternoon as the Lady Avs rallied from Friday’s defeat for a 3-2 victory (25-19, 19-25, 25-11, 23-25, 15-13).

Saturday’s contest was a back-and-forth af-fair between the Lady Avs and Cascades, with the fifth and deciding set featuring a few nail-bit-ing rallies before the hosts finally closed it out.

Heading into the final week of PACWEST play before the holiday

break, the Lady Avs sit sixth in the congested conference standings.

They will look to make a push up the lad-der this weekend as they visit the Vancouver Is-land University Mari-ners (8-2) Thursday and Friday, before closing out the semester against the Camosun College Chargers (7-3) Saturday and Sunday.

PACWEST Women’s Standings

1) Vancouver Island University (8-2, 16 points); 2) Capilano University (7-3, 14); 3) Camosun College (7-3, 14); 4) Douglas College (5-5, 10); 5) University of the Fraser Valley (3-7, 6); 6) College of the Rockies (2-6, 4); 7) Columbia Bible Col-lege (2-8, 4)

c aNaDIaN PrESSMONTREAL - The Montreal Cana-

diens rewarded Marc Bergevin’s ef-forts to make the Montreal Canadiens a Stanley Cup contender with a long-term contract extension.

The Canadiens announced Wednesday they signed their general manager and executive vice president to an extension through the end of the 2021-22 season.

The Canadiens have made the playoffs in three straight seasons

under Bergevin’s watch, reaching the Eastern Conference final in 2013-14 and finishing second overall in the regular season before falling in the second round of playoffs last season.

Bergevin joined the Canadiens from the Chicago Blackhawks organi-zation on May 2, 2012, taking over a team that had only 78 points in 2011-12 under Pierre Gauthier.

The Canadiens have posted a 141-68-25 record under Bergevin, ranking third in the NHL in wins over that span.

ICE FORMING ON LOCAL WATER BODIES; CITY URGES RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY

CHILDREN TO USE CAUTION

The ice is just beginning to form on both lakes at Idlewild Park and Elizabeth Lake, Joseph Creek and other local water bodies. Thin ice creates many dangers for children who are unaware.

Parents are asked to please talk to your children about the dangers and to stay off the ice until it is six inches thick.

This year due to the � uctuating water levels at Idlewild, the lake will remain closed to the public for the entire season. Signs will be in place throughout the winter months asking people to please stay off the ice. Public Works will be installing outdoor ice surfaces at Baker Park and also at Pop Price Park this year as soon as the temperatures allow.

Free public skating is also available all winter long at the Kinsmen Arena sponsored by the Kin Club of Cranbrook. There is also Parent/Tot and Senior skating at the Memorial Arena and Non-Instructional Day skates at Western Financial Place. Visit http://western� nancialplace.ca/services/public-skating/ for details or contact Leisure Service at 489-0220.

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE - PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN

The 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.

HELP KEEP CITY CLEAR OF ICE & SNOW THIS WINTER

To help keep the public safe and mobile during the winter months, the City is asking residents and businesses to help out by keeping streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of Public Works, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business.

Avoiding leaving your vehicle parked on the street during snowfalls wherever possible will also help make clearing the streets easier for City plows. Residents are also asked to please avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by.

For more information about how the City clears the streets and why decisions are made the way they are, priority route maps and more, please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca, and click on ‘Snow Removal Information’ listed under City of Cranbrook Links on the homepage.

During snow events in the winter months, City of Cranbrook crews and contractors will be out busy clearing the streets. Residents are encouraged to avoid parking their vehicles on the street if possible, as the City of Cranbrook will not be responsible for vehicle damage caused by snow removal operations.

SNOW REMOVAL – ON STREET PARKING

PUBLIC WORKS UNDERTAKING TREE PRUNING IN ALLEYS THIS WINTER

To best ensure free � ow of traf� c through alleys around the City, especially for City garbage trucks, Public Works staff will be busy pruning trees off and on through the winter months.

Public Works will only be pruning to the property line and where possible will be using proper pruning techniques, but will not cross the property line to make a proper cut. Any vegetation on the City side of the property line will be pruned; however staff will use their best judgement and only prune what is needed. If you wish to have your landscape maintained to a higher degree, you must do the pruning yourself or hire a professional.

If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 250-489-0218.

Another day, another Western Hockey League debutInjury situation in Cranbrook provides another opportunity for another young Kootenay Ice prospect as Barley debuts

Gerry Frederick Photo/GerryFrederickPhotoGraPhy.com

Affiliate forward Connor Barley (#20) made his WHL debut with the Kootenay Ice in a 5-2 loss to the Red Deer Rebels Wednesday.

Taylor rocc aNot every player finds a

smooth flight to the Western Hockey League and for Con-nor Barley, that was definite-ly the case this past week.

Recalled by the Kootenay Ice, the 17-year-old Barley arrived in Cranbrook Tues-day but not until he experi-enced a trying adventure on his 1,550-km trek across the Canadian prairies.

Hailing from St. Andrews, Man., and toiling with the Selkirk Steelers of the Mani-toba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), Barley had a fair bit of ground to cover after his services were requested by Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. With a bitter winter storm rolling across western Canada, turbulence was to be expected and it al-most grounded Barley from making his WHL debut.

“My first flight was very good -- arrived on time, landed on time,” Barley said Wednesday night.

If only it was all that easy.After arriving in Calgary,

the 6-foot, 174-pound ener-gy winger from small-town Manitoba suddenly found

himself stranded in the big city at the Calgary Interna-tional Airport.

“Flight after flight was cancelled and delayed,” Bar-ley said. “I ended up being at the airport for 4.5 hours be-fore my flight took off, but once I landed it was good.”

There should be an as-terisk beside “good” as the former seventh-round WHL bantam draft pick (2013, 141st overall) arrived in Cranbrook but his hockey gear didn’t.

Though the hockey gods haven’t shown much mercy towards the Kootenay Ice in recent weeks -- six skaters are out due to a rash of inju-ries -- there was benevo-lence Tuesday as Barley’s gear eventually arrived and he was able to practice with his ahead of his WHL debut.

With the damaged goods piling up in Cranbrook, Bar-ley was the next beneficiary -- the second Ice affiliate to make his WHL debut this week -- after 15-year-old Eli Lieffers took the dive into his major junior baptism over the weekend.

“At first, I was very ner-

vous but as the game went on I started to relax and get into my game,” Barley said. “That’s all I had to do -- just play my game.”

The speedy winger cycled through the lineup Wednes-day, with Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce cobbling together a makeshift group featuring 10 forwards, one of which was regular defence-man Bryan Allbee.

While his ice time may have been limited due to circumstance in a 5-2 loss to the Red Deer Rebels, Barley was definitely noticeable on the ice -- and not just be-cause of his Troy Polama-lu-esque flow.

In the third period, Bar-ley took a feed from Austin Wellsby after getting into a quality scoring position, but couldn’t quite find the back of the net behind Rebels goaltender Trevor Martin.

“The speed’s there, he can skate with everybody,” Pierce said. “He will get more comfortable as the week goes on.”

Barley is no stranger to the offensive side of the game as he’s tallied seven

goals and 10 points in 20 games with the Junior ‘A’ Steelers this season after putting up 19 goals and 38 points in 43 games with the Winnipeg ‘AAA’ Thrashers last season.

After a tenuous solo travel experience from Manitoba to Cranbrook, Barley will be on the bus with the rest of the boys as the Kootenay Ice travel to Lethbridge to face the Hurricanes Thursday.

With one game of WHL experience under his belt, Barley is looking forward to helping his team get back into the win column.

“Back at home, the game is a little slower,” Barley said. “Once you get out here, the play is al-ways moving. Guys are always skating. It’s hard to keep up.

“I’m just trying to play my game. That’s the rea-son why I’m here. My skat-ing, my shot -- I just have to use it to my advantage and not try to play outside my range of skill. Just keep it simple and try to help the team as best I can.”

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 PAGE A11DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

From picture frames to women’s fashions to furniture made from reclaimed materials, there is

something that will catch the eye at Real Deals on Home Decor in Cran-brook.

Operated by Kristen and Tom Simek, the business—located right across from the Prestige Rocky Mountain Re-sort at 300 1st Ave. South—business has been steadily growing since open-ing up in November 2012.

With a bit of an art gallery vibe, the floor space is renovated weekly to ac-commodate for the high turnover of stock and products.

Real Deals on Home Decor is an Amer-ican-based franchise that has expand-ed into Canada, with Kristen’s sister-in-law operating a location in Lethbridge.

After a visit a few years ago, Kristen got the urge to tap into her entrepreneurial spirit.

“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I do have a degree in psychology. I used that for a while but always on the side done entrepreneurial things,” she said.

“...So we went to visit them and saw their store and I had a hard time sleep-ing because I knew I wanted to open a store in Cranbrook,” she said. “Got right on it, few months later, we had our own.”

Being part of a franchise, the company has a team that purchases items for all 14 stores in Canada, however, Kristen has a little bit of leeway to bring in local products. One example is Kootenay Crate Company, based out of Creston, which has a line of twenty standard products in ten colours. Kootenay Crate Company is now carried throughout all Real Deals on Home Decor stores in Canada.

“We have a really good buying team with our franchise,” Kristen said. “I still

source a few things out and we’ve gone to market before, but being that we’re part of a franchise, they’re very good at sourcing out really good vendors and companies for us to order from.”

A year ago, the business branched into women’s fashion and expanded that section even further six months later.

“We’ve really branched out in the clothes over the last six months, and it’s doing really, really well. We carry leath-er boots—genuine leather Bed Stu boots, so those have been really popu-lar,” Kristen said.

In three years of business, Kristen met the challenges of working in retail, which can be and ebb and flow of cus-tomer traffic and sales.

Real Deals on Home Decor is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those hours allow Kris-ten and Tom to do the weekly changes to floor layout and displays while cut-ting down on staffing costs.

The political climate has taken some dramatic shi� s in Canada in 2015. Hell froze over with the NDP being elected with a large

majority in Alberta. � ere was a shi� ing of glaciers with the Conservatives being moved and stirring up some political till in its path while a new spring has dawned with Justin Trudeau blossoming onto the political stage.

� e climate on the blue planet is also always changing. Some say “warming” some say “change” but the reality is that man’s industrialized in� uence has certainly not being the best for the planet.

In the timeline of the planet man has being been here but for a minute. And the amount of time that mankind has treated the earth rather poorly has been but a second. At the time of industrialization it could be said we did not understand the consequences of our activities. We certainly do now.

In December, Prime Minister Trudeau will lead a delegation, including the premiers, to the UN climate change conference in Paris (COP21). At the conference, representatives from almost 200 nations will attempt to negotiate a new global agreement on climate change that focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels.

Most countries, including Canada, have publicly submitted their climate change action plans in advance of COP21. Canada’s is challenging enough—a 30% decline in emissions (from 2005 levels) by 2030. But the new government has said it will be even more aggressive.

What does this mean for business? � e sweeping nature of the national plan that will be needed to meet Canada’s target is daunting, and Canadian business will face many serious challenges as it is deployed.

A federal climate change policy will present both costs and opportunities, and some sectors will be more a� ected than others. COP21 aims for an agreement that sets binding emissions targets for nations, but there is little discussion on ‘how’ countries will achieve their targets.

In fact, the dra� COP21 text includes virtually no reference to business or carbon markets. Once targets are set, governments will need to cra� policies to meet those targets. In order to curb emissions, you need to reduce fossil fuel use or develop technologies to reduce emissions.

� e chamber network has long supported action on climate change. At the Canadian Chamber of Commerce most recent AGM, over 98% of delegates voted in support of a resolution “to establish and reach a GHG emission reduction target by 2050” and adopt carbon pricing mechanisms to achieve this target. � e resolution also states that these mechanisms must consider competing jurisdictions and the impact on Canada’s global competitiveness.

� e Canadian Chamber of Commerce, of which Cranbrook is a member, will have representatives at COP21 and will be monitoring negotiations and reporting back on key developments and how they might a� ect the Canadian economy. Stayed tuned, the climate is always changing.

RATIFICATION OF TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP KEY TO CANADA’S SUCCESS IN ASIACanada must seize the opportunity represented by the rapid

growth of the Asian economy, and the next step is the rati� cation of the Trans-Paci� c Partnership, the Canadian Chamber of

Commerce told the Canadian government today.“Canada is losing market share in the fastest-growing region of the world. Turning this situation around requires an ambitious trade strategy that plays to our advantages in areas like energy, information and biotechnology, advanced manufacturing and agri-food. � e TPP covers all of these areas, and what we need to now is to put it in place,” said Canadian Chamber President and CEO Perrin Beatty.Speaking a� er a CEO roundtable with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland held during the Asia-Paci� c Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in the Philippines, Mr. Beatty said he stressed that two key priorities for the government must be to ratify the TPP and to build the infrastructure that’s needed to get Canadian resources to our customers around the world.“� e TPP will give Canadian companies better access to a market worth trillions of dollars a year and create new job opportunities. It’s also a chance to work with our NAFTA partners and shape the way business competes for decades to come,” said Mr. Beatty. “Having reviewed the TPP text, we’re convinced this agreement is a net gain for Canada. But to take full advantage of the opportunities the TPP represents, we need to have the necessary trade-enabling infrastructure, including pipelines, in place. � is should be the � rst area of focus in the government’s infrastructure plan since it will have the largest immediate and long-term bene� ts for the economy,” said Mr. Beatty.At the Canadian Chamber’s annual meeting in Ottawa last month, delegates from chambers of commerce across the country endorsed a policy resolution calling on Canada to implement the TPP and to expand trade ties with China, India and Southeast Asia.� e TPP eliminates nearly all tari� s on Canadian imports and exports with member economies. It provides predictable market access for services, provisions for the movement of business people and rules on investment protection, intellectual property, e-commerce and state-owned enterprises that re� ect Canada’s economic model. � e agreement provides protection and safeguards for sensitive products and enforceable disciplines on labour and environmental standards, making it one of the most cutting-edge and sustainable trade agreements ever negotiated.“We look forward to helping the government assess its full impact and develop plans for a� ected industries. Every time you open your market, there will be challenges but , with the right measures, we can tackle them,” said Mr. Beatty.� e APEC Summit took place November 18-19 in Manila. � e Canadian Chamber of Commerce and several of its members attended the APEC CEO Summit, where Mr. Beatty delivered remarks and met with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines.� e TPP creates a common economic area covering 12 countries, 40% of the global economy and over 800 million customers. Earlier this week, the APEC Business Advisory Council—the o� cial industry voice at the Summit—called on TPP members to ratify the agreement and open the door for others in the region. Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan are among those who have asked to join.G. Will Dubreuil is the Director, Public A� airs and Media Relations with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce

Contributing to the development and implementation of a clear economic development strategy

for Cranbrook and district is one of the key priorities identi� ed in the Chamber’s annual work plan. To that end, we recently hosted a forum for community leaders, with the goal of facilitating an open discussion on what “local economic development” could look like in our region. � e forum was attended by more than 60 individuals, representing a good cross-section of East and West Kootenay communities, and included elected municipal o� cials, business owners, community organizations and a good number of Chamber directors. � e discussion revealed that we all

have fairly similar views of the issues and opportunities, but in some cases di� ering perspectives on the possibilities and outcomes based on the size and location of our community.So what exactly is local economic development and why should it matter? According to the Urban Development Unit of the World Bank, the purpose of local economic development (LED) is to build up the economic capacity of a local area to improve its economic future and to improve the quality of life for all. It is a process by which public, business and non-governmental sector partners work collectively to create better conditions for economic growth and employment generation.

Every town, city and community has unique local conditions that either help or hinder its economic development. � ese conditions will form the basis for designing and implementing a local economic development strategy. To build a strong local economy, good practice tells us that each community should undertake a collaborative, strategically planned process to understand, and then act upon, its own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. � e key words here are “collectively” and “collaborative”. While it’s true that successful private enterprises create most of the wealth, jobs and improved living standards in communities, this cannot be accomplished unless local

governments, through appropriate policies and procedures, create favorable environments for business success and job creation, and there are active and engaged community-based organizations to provide the necessary services and support. � is is precisely why we invited leaders from local and neighbouring municipal government, business and community organizations to participate in the forum, and why we’ll continue to work with these partners to pursue the next steps in the development of a functional and e� ective model of local economic development. If you’d like to be involved in the process, please contact the Chamber o� ce.Submitted by David Struthers

Six ways to boost your credit scoreYour credit score is essentially your passport to � nancial opportunities. With a possible range of 300 to 900, your number tells lenders what kind of a risk you are likely to be as a borrower. A low credit score can prevent you from getting the lowest mortgage rate, or even from getting a mortgage at all. That’s why it’s important to know the six credit behaviors that can keep your score high, or give it a boost!

1. Know what you’re working with. Get a copy of your report and see what your lender sees. Credit reports can be ordered for free through the mail or, for a small fee, downloaded from www.equifax.ca.

2. On time, all the time. The single biggest factor in your credit score is having a timely bill payment history. Start today with a commitment to never let a bill get past due.

3. Know your limits. Your credit score is based on your balances relative to your available credit. Look at your credit limits and try not to use more than half of the available amount.

4. A longer history is better. Don’t cancel your oldest credit card. In fact, get advice before you cancel any cards. A long steady history of using cards responsibly demonstrates trustworthiness.

5. Be selective. When you’re asked “would you like to apply for our Store Card to save $X dollars on your purchase?” Don’t do it. These pitches can be a credit pitfall. Regularly looking for more credit will � ag you as a potential credit risk.

6. Keep it balanced. Creditors like to see that you can handle a wide variety of credit types.

I would be happy to review your situation. If you need to improve your score, I can outline your best options for credit improvement. If you want to get a mortgage while you work on bettering your score, I can also advise how that may be possible.

Dear Annie: A while back you printed a letter from “Desperate Times,” a disabled single mother of two. She said her parents offered to buy her a house, but her sister tried to block it, even though she was married and well-off. I have two sisters and a brother. My brother had a heart transplant 25 years ago. He had four children and was inundated with medical bills. Our parents bought a house for our brother and his family to live in. As our parents grew older, I suggested they give the house to my brother now, not as part of his inheritance later. Mom said it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of us. She explained that a few years before, she and Dad wanted to give our brother $1,000, but didn’t feel it fair unless they gave the same amount to all of us. I remember how grateful I was, since it took two years off of our very young mortgage. I reminded Mom that they had always been there for each one of us kids when we needed them, and each one of us needed them in different ways. That’s what fair is. My sisters agreed that my brother and his wife should have the house. When our parents died and we had to divide up their belongings, there was no greediness or resentment. It became part of our dealing with the grief we also shared. How thankful I am not to have selfish, jealous siblings. -- Grateful Sister and Daughter Dear Grateful: Your letter is a good fit for Thanksgiving Day, when we all should take a look at our blessings. Here’s a poem we have printed in the past that might remind everyone of these things: “Things to Be Thankful For” (Author Unknown) Be thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means you have enough to eat. Be thankful for the mess you clean up after a party, because it means you have been surrounded by friends. Be thankful for the taxes you pay, because it means that you are employed. Be thankful that your lawn needs mowing and your windows need fixing, because it means you have a home. Be thankful for your heating bill, because it means you are warm. Be thankful for the laundry, because it means you have clothes to wear. Be thankful for the lady who sings off-key behind you in church, because it means you can hear. Be thankful people complain about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech. Be thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means you’re alive.

DICKESON, Paul Mill 1932 – 2015

“The mountains are calling and I must go” John Muir.

On the afternoon of Sunday, November 15, 2015, Paul Mill Dickeson died at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 83 years. Paul was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia on September 30, 1932.

He leaves to cherish his memory his dearly loved wife of 56 years, Maggie, his three children; Holly (Mark), Ian (Niki) and Kirst, four grandchildren; Craig, Eric, Connor and Chloe and his two beloved dogs.

Paul was an avid outdoorsman who thrived in his passion to hike and ski in the mountains. He found great solace and peace while in the hills and taught us to appreciate and love the beauty of this area. We will remember him for his kindness, strength, compassion and booming laugh.

Paul was a well-respected teacher at Mount Baker Secondary School and was loved by many of his students. He was the epitome of the phrase, “a gentleman and a scholar”. He will be deeply missed by many.

If you’d like to pay your respects to Paul, he will be on Windy Pass in the summer.

VINGE, Karla Joy March 5, 1967 -

November 22, 2015

It is with great sadness that the family of Karla Joy Vinge, born March 5, 1967, announces her sudden passing on Sunday, November 22.

Karla is survived by her parents Sheila and Joel and sister Karin and brother-in-law Ron and a host of loving cousins and good friends.

Karla completed her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Lethbridge in 1993 having a special interest in Neurosciences. During these last years of her life she battled Mental Illness in the form of Bipolar Disorder. Karla endeavoured to protect family and friends from the struggles that she endured. She is now at peace, but is enormously missed by all who knew her. We love you and will always miss you Karla dear!

A Worship Service embracing family and friends will be held at Christ Church, Anglican on November 30, 2015 at 1pm, with The Reverend Yme Woensdregt, officiating. Please consider donating to the BCSPCA to honour Karla’s memory and love of animals.

THe DramaTic lifedaily townsman / daily bulletin

Barry Coulter

M ary Hamilton, Drama instructor at Mount Baker

Secondary School, and a new group of student performers, set out this fall to create a dra-matic piece from scratch — chasing ideas, creating char-acters, and putting them all together. Buster Keaton, the great physical comedian from Hollywood’s silent era, was to be their guiding spirit.

The result is “The Opti-mist,” a hallucinatory work of art where silent film meets the Theatre of the Absurd. It opens tonight, Thursday, Nov. 26, at the Key City The-atre in Cranbrook.

Buster Keaton is present — in fact he is to serve as our guide, until he gets distract-ed by ongoing combat with his rival for love. But “The Optimist” could also a great homage to the 1920s Paris of the surrealists. I could swear Jean Cocteau and Luis Bunuel are among the char-acters — and certainly Edith Piaf makes an appearance. And the backing music to this “silent film” — created by a band of various mem-bers of the cast — is an-chored by an accordion playing in the Parisian style.

The actors — most of them new to the Wild Drama stage — have created a dreamscape city peopled by inhabitants from all walks of life, some of them swash-buckling and larger than life, some of them struggling with loneliness and frustra-tion. “The Optimist” is a world of in-between, like being stuck in a dream that suddenly explodes into con-flict, then settles back into stillness and reverie. But not for long.

“The Optimist,” created by the performers themselves, is a colourful and original piece of theatre that carries on with the bold adventures Wild Drama has taken on in recent years. It features Lukas Pump, Nathaniel Ralph, Jordyn Walker, Cameron Sperling, Laura Louw, Hayley Ander-son, Presley Armstrong, Emily Orza, Geneve Miller, Manon Metzger, Michaela Eckersley, Jagur Chung, Brea McCormack, Kelsey Thomp-son, Claudia Royo, Amina Kabe, Emily Penner, Fabian Ernst, Jan Janssen, Tace Brad-well and Geoffrey Drought. Mary Hamilton is Director, Frank Hackett is Acting Coach/Fight Director and Dave Hill designed the set.

“The Optimist” runs Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 26-28, at the Key City Theatre.

SubmittedThe City of Cran-

brook has been busy up-dating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

The last plan was prepared in 1995, set the framework for many of the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, as well as the new arena and aquatic centre.

The new Master Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facili-ties, and community programs/services for the next 10 years.

Since April 2015, the community has provid-ed input on the Plan through a variety of ave-nues. In addition to a community survey, the community was en-gaged through nine vi-sioning workshops in-cluding two general public sessions. Citizens were also encouraged to send emails or letters.

Now, a draft Master Plan has been complet-ed and it is time to ask for your participation once more.

You are invited to an open house on Thurs-day, Nov. 26, from 3 pm to 9 pm, at Western Fi-nancial Place to review and comment on the draft recommendations for the City of Cranbrook Parks and Recreation

Master Plan.For those unable to

attend the open house event, the panels will be on display beginning in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 25th, and be up through the open house event on Thursday evening.

Please drop in at your leisure, or during the hockey game to have a look. You can also view the draft Master Plan, the draft Idlewild Com-munity Survey, the open house information pan-els and the open house comment form online on the City of Cranbrook website at www.cran-brook.ca and click on ‘Parks & Rec Master Plan’ under the ‘City of Cranbrook Links’ on the homepage.

Email your com-ments using the open house comment form to [email protected] or drop off your comments to the Leisure Services desk at Western Finan-cial Place by Monday December 14, 2015.

You can also com-plete the feedback form online at fluidsurveys.c o m / s / C r a n b r o o k _Parks_Rec_Comment-Form/.

Feedback from the community will be for-warded to the consul-tant for review.
