For Scott Niedermayer, there’s no place like home.

The Cranbrook native re-turned to his stomping grounds for Christmas and was honoured by the City of

Cranbrook in a pre-game ceremony before the Koote-nay Ice faced the Spokane Chiefs on Friday.

Accompanied by his wife Lisa and four sons—Logan, Jackson, Joshua and Luke—Niedermayer was presented

with a plaque by mayor Wayne Stetski before a cere-monial puck drop.

He was given a standing ovation by 2,945 fans as he took to the microphone and briefly addressed the crowd.

“This is a special honour,

Cranbrook is a special place, having grown up here, this is where my love and passion for the game began,” said Niedermayer. “Whether it was playing road hockey in my neighbour’s driveway, playing on the local ponds

down at the fire department, and then obviously over at the Memorial Arena and the Kinsmen Arena—this is where I learned to love the game. I made great friends and have a ton of great mem-ories, so It’s always great to

be back.”Niedermayer, a retired

NHLer who captured four Stanley Cups over his 18-year career, is currently serv-ing as an assistant coach with the Anaheim Ducks.

VICTORIA — The mayor of Oak Bay, Brit-ish Columbia, gets dead deer alerts.

Nils Jensen barely has time to sit for a cof-fee when his phone pings and signals anoth-er tragic deer fatality in the suburban Victoria community known as the Tweed Curtain for its primarily elderly and refined population.

“I get regular up-dates,’’ Jensen said, as he gestured to his cell phone. “There it is, the deer count, 38 so far.’’

That number of dead deer in Oak Bay in 2013 is a huge increase, Jen-sen said, considering there were zero report-ed deer deaths in 2008. But the number has been rising steadily over the years.

Oak Bay and several other British Columbia communities, including Invermere, plan to tar-get growing urban deer populations in 2014 to prevent potentially haz-ardous human-deer in-teractions.

“Doing nothing is not an option because we can see the rising number of deer-human conflicts,’’ Jensen said.

He said Oak Bay’s deer management strat-egy includes public edu-cation, bylaw enforce-ment, including prohi-

bitions on feeding deer, and more signs warning drivers to beware of deer on the streets but that residents can ex-pect the launch of a deer cull sometime next year.

Gerry Taft, the mayor of Invermere, said his community is aiming to apply for a provincial government permit next year to launch its sec-ond deer cull because they attack dogs and are no longer way of people.

“The sheer number of deer is a concern for people,’’ Taft said. “On garbage day, when we have curbside pickup, we have groups of deer walking down the street knocking over garbage cans and eating the gar-bage.’’

Jensen said he can recite numerous brutal and dangerous inci-dents involving deer in Oak Bay.

Police are regularly dispatched to shoot wounded deer after they’ve been hit by cars, and in one instance, of-ficers were forced to put a deer out of its misery when the animal im-paled itself trying to leap a fence.

“Some of them have died an excruciating death,’’ Jensen said. “One of them had to be put down by an officer after essentially being completely cut open as it tried to vault a fence,

unsuccessfully. This isn’t an easy issue for anybody. It’s complex. It’s emotional.’’

Jensen said his re-cently scheduled deer-cull meeting with repre-sentatives of the Associ-ation for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals was delayed for several hours because a driver hit a deer in Oak Bay.

“That sucked. It was awful,’’ said Lesley Fox, of the animal rights or-ganization. “She was probably about eight months, not quite a year old.’’

Fox, who stopped to tend to the fatally wounded animal, said the fawn suffered at the side of the road for 90 minutes until Oak Bay police officers arrived to relieve its suffering.

Last spring, British Columbia’s Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations Min-istry published an urban deer management fact sheet that said urban deer have become a

safety concern due to growing conflicts be-tween people and pets, increases in deer-auto-mobile collisions and the tendency of deer to attract predators, in-cluding cougars.

The ministry said it will issue permits to communities opting for culls to reduce deer populations.

“Wildlife experts ad-vise that capturing deer in collapsible clover traps and euthanizing them with a bolt gun is the safest, most efficient and most humane method of deer control in urban areas,’’ the gov-ernment fact sheet said. “Clover traps, which re-semble oversized hock-ey nets, are placed in quiet locations to re-duce stress on deer.’’

Trained contractors must conduct the culls and the deer meat must be processed by a quali-fied butcher, and “com-munities must make full use of healthy deer car-casses resulting from

Deer culls loom in B.C. communities as politicians target bucks and does

Urban deer culls will be rearing their heads in B.C. communities in 2014.

these culls, for example by donating the meat to First Nations, local food banks or other charita-ble groups.’’

Taft said Invermere’s first deer cull in Decem-ber 2011, when 19 deer were killed, revealed the extent of the emotions at stake when a commu-nity initiates such ac-tion.

Opponents to the deer cull cut the nets that held the deer, fol-lowed the cull contrac-tors, slashed their tires and appeared to place deer repellent near the clover net traps, he said.

But Invermere, like Oak Bay, is proceeding with the intention to conduct a deer cull next year, Taft said.

The Invermere Deer Protection Society tried unsuccessfully to sue the community for mov-ing to a cull without properly consulting res-idents or considering deer mitigation options. The society has said it will appeal the ruling even though an official community opinion poll suggested that most residents favoured a deer cull.

“We’re trying not to be held hostage by this small group of people who are playing these legal games,’’ Taft said.

He said deer culls are expensive, but commu-nities that feel they’re part of an ungulate inva-sion want their numbers controlled. Taft said his community wants fi-nancial support from the province, but so far all that appears to be coming from the B.C. government are guide-lines and permits.

“The cute thing that some of the deer lovers like is we have some raised crosswalks in dif-ferent parts of town and the deer seem to love crossing the road on the raised crosswalks,’’ he said.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Habitat for Humanity Cranbrook committee will be gearing up to begin its first build in Cranbrook in in the next few months. On January 10 the committee will be having an open house which will feature representa-tives from Habitat West Kootenay and Habitat for Humanity Boundary. Most notably, Mark Rodgers, chief operat-ing officer for Habitat for Humanity Canada, will be in attendance to an-swer questions.

Gord Johnston, project leader for the Cranbrook project, said the public is invited to the open house.

“We’re inviting anybody who has expressed interest in Habitat so far and we’re inviting the general public,” Johnston said, adding they are starting the big push for April as they look for goods in kind and volunteers. So far they have about 50 people on the list that have expressed interest in some way in the project, as well as many businesses in the community that are putting forward materials and ser-vices.

There is a lot of planning and preparation involved in the project, said Johnston.

“We just really want to make sure

this is a good, solid event for everyone so that we can carry this on,” he said. “We hope to do more builds obviously in the future, and a lot of that keys on how successful this first build is, so it’s pretty important that this first one goes well.”

Johnston said they will also be re-cruiting the family during the month of January. Applications will be ac-cepted starting January 2. The partner family has to put in 500 hours toward the build.

“By the end of January we’ll know how many we’ve had apply,” he said. “It’s quite a process.”

The family pays a no-interest mort-gage on the house, so the family has to be self-sufficient, he said, but also demonstrate the need for the assis-tance.

The house and property have been appraised based on the plans at $151,000, Johnston said.

“Now that’s an affordable house,” he said. “We sell the home to the fam-ily for fair-market value. It’s pretty en-couraging.”

He said the Slaterville neighbour-hood is pretty ideal for the project.

The open house is January 10 at 7:30 p.m. at 120 - 7th Avenue South Cranbrook.

DonnA Gr AinGer It is the first of its

kind at the East Koote-nay Regional Hospital, but after witnessing the overwhelming creativity and participation by 26 departments in the hos-pital, the Christmas Door Decorating Con-test may become an an-nual event.

As December rolled in Erica Phillips and Christine Shumka, part of the leadership team at EKRH, put out a chal-lenge to all departments to consider sharing the holiday spirit and asked them to participate in a decorated door contest.

The rules were pretty simple make it fun, fes-tive or a theme of your choice but to be entered each group was encour-aged to make a food do-nation for the Cran-brook Food Bank.

What happened next was a holiday hospital

makeover, with unique doors appearing all over the four floors of the hospital. There were doors laden with the outpouring of festive ideas from snowmen to Christmas trees, Santa to the Grinch, fireplaces and more.

The response was so amazing that to be fair to all departments in-volved, Erica and Chris had to find some out-side judging help from Marilyn Christensen and Kelly Beriault.

So on December 20, the posse of judges walked merrily through the hallways basing their scores on creativi-ty, theme, involvement, visual impact and after a lot chuckles and a few bribes the scores were tallied. Without a word of a lie the judges had a difficult time selecting a winner from all the out-standing entries. In the

end, winning only by a 1 point score difference was the team from the Health Records depart-ment who turned their entire department into a winter wonderland in-cluding an entry filled door covered in a holi-day candy theme.

The Health Records team narrowly aced out the EKRH Logistics team whose five panel moving delivery door played host to a fire-place trimmed with stockings even when it was opened or closed.

However, the best part of the story is not just the spirit of all those who took part — it is about their gift in giving back to the Cranbrook Food Bank. Together the Interior Health staff holiday party and the door decorating contest donated over 750 lbs of food for the local orga-nization.

From fire to flood, new construction and saved heritage build-ings, 2013 was a busy year in Cranbrook and Kimberley.

From our viewpoint at the Townsman, we have picked the biggest

stories of the year.In Part Two, we look

at the news from April through June.

AprilA Kimberley man

was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to a drive-by shooting.

Dustin Plourde, 28, fired at a home on Ar-chibald Street where two women and a baby were living. No one was injured. Plourde said he mistakenly believed it was the home of mem-bers of a local drug gang.

Cranbrook’s The Good Ol’ Goats made it to the very end of CBC Music’s Searchlight contest, looking for up-and-coming new bands. The band, made up of Mount Baker Sec-ondary School stu-dents, beat out almost 3,000 bands across the

country to make the contest’s final round. In the end, they placed second to Newfound-land band Sherman Downey and the Am-biguous Case.

***Volunteer Kootenays

honoured the East Koo-tenay’s most dedicated

volunteers in April at the annual Volunteer Appreciation and Awards Gala. Jeanne Davidson of the Cran-brook Kimberley Hos-pice Society was named Volunteer of the Year; Danika Reid was named Youth Volunteer of the Year; the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary was named Group Vol-unteers of the Year; the Beaulacs were named Family Volunteer of the Year.

***Kimberley was hit by

tragedy in April when Debbie Blais died after drowning in a retention pond at Bootleg Gap Golf Course. The Marysville woman had

been walking her dog on the closed golf course. Passersby saw the dog struggling in the pond, rescued it and returned it home, not realizing that Blais had also gone into the pond.

***The College of the

Rockies announced that it ranked first in Canada and second in the world as an institu-tion for international students, according to the International Stu-dent Barometer, put out by the International Graduate Insight Group.

***In April, East Koote-

nay Crime Stoppers made public a last-ditch effort to save its anonymous tipline. With a depleted and ex-hausted board, the or-ganization was on the verge of collapse and put out a plea for new volunteers to man the board. The community came through, with dozens of people com-ing forward to keep the tipline alive and help the RCMP stop crime in the East Kootenay.

April, cont’dA collection of por-

traits by Adolphus “Duffy” Burton kept at the Dr. F.W. Green home were up for grabs by family members. Duffy Burton painted the portraits of fellow residents while living at the Green Home in the ‘90s, and the home’s staff wanted to give the portraits to the families of those pictured. After the story ran in the Townsman and was picked up by CBC, al-most all of the 48 por-traits were given to family members, many of whom were touched by the artwork which brought up fond mem-ories.

M I C H A E L D E N TA N DT

Each year at this time, for fun, I offer up a few bold and foolhardy predic-tions for the year ahead, to be mea-

sured against reality 12 months later. Be-fore we move on to the 2014 edition, let’s assess last year’s effort. Sadly, it’s a very mixed bag.

We begin with the obvious. “We don’t need a crystal ball to predict that (Justin) Trudeau will win the Liberal leadership contest, to be decided in April,” I asserted in this space on Dec. 31, 2012. “Once Trudeau becomes leader, and perhaps sooner, the Harper Conservatives will kitchen-sink him. That is, they will throw at him everything in their arsenal, includ-ing the customary wicked attack ads. Trudeau’s every move and utterance will be parsed as never before.”

Nostradamus, eat your heart out. Given the lay of the land in late 2012, no other outcome was remotely likely. And it was a foregone conclusion that the Con-servatives would attack the new Liberal leader personally and early, which they did in April, in a series of mocking, nasty ads. That had long been the governing party’s preferred method of welcoming a new Liberal leader.

I was wrong though, in thinking the attack-ad campaign would be sustained. The early ads were red meat to the Tory base but backfired with the centre, rein-forcing the Conservatives’ negatives and alienating swing voters. For the time being the governing party’s approach ap-pears to be to wait for an unforced error, then leap all over it with tweets and re-tweets.

Next came a big, wrong prediction: “… a charm offensive, personally led by Ste-phen Harper, which will be surprisingly

effective. Expect to hear more from Harp-er this year. Plus, early in July the cabinet will acquire a dramatically fresher, young-er and more feminine face.”

Ah, the charm offensive. Hope springs eternal. I first anticipated the charm of-fensive in 2007, was wrong about it then, and have been wrong about it since. The latest grand opportunity for such a trans-formation came in August, during the PM’s annual Arctic tour. It failed to mate-rialize. Likewise, last summer’s cabinet shuffle could have put a fresh face on the government. Though a few younger faces joined the mix, the tone did not budge one iota.

Rounding out last year’s column: On the international front I got some of it right, predicting that Iran’s leadership would “undergo an eleventh-hour con-version on the nuclear question.” But I also got some of it quite badly wrong. “Late in 2013 he (Syrian dictator Bashar Assad) will be tried for war crimes,” I wrote a year ago. Instead Assad is more firmly entrenched than ever, though he has agreed to give up his chemical weapons.

Right then: What’s ahead for 2014? Here goes nothing.

On the federal scene, as the Trudeau Liberals extend their lead in the polls to a year, and with the Conservatives neck-deep in the Senate expense scandal (which I utterly failed to anticipate, mea culpa), Harper will continue to resist the siren song of personal re-invention. That ship has sailed. The hockey book is out, the musical performances have become routine, but the PM remains who he has always been. His aversion to the media is locked in.

That said, Harper in 2014 will make a visible effort to re-engage – likely through

more frequent speeches, perhaps even more frequent press conferences. He will do so not by choice, but by necessity. The Wright-Duffy mess, the sheer scale of the venality and dishonesty exposed within his own office, among people he appoint-ed, has shaken his personal standing. The only practical remedy is to shore up his positives, namely his reputation for com-petence and intelligence. He can only do so by communicating.

But the most interesting political fight in 2014, by far, will be between Liberals and New Democrats, with the focus nar-rowing ever more closely on Quebec. It appears clear now that NDP Leader Tom Mulcair will make no inroads in the West, and that his hopes of a breakthrough in Ontario, outside Toronto, are limited. As the year progresses he will therefore focus all his efforts on preserving his Quebec beachhead. Trudeau also will spend ever more time in Quebec, battling for what he hopes will be a major seat reversal with the NDP there in 2015. There will be no major strategic new direction, on the part of any party, in 2014. What you see now, is what you get, for the foreseeable future.

Overseas, the combination of U.S. en-gagement with Iran and the chemi-cal-weapons deal with Syria will continue to reduce the threat of a broader Middle Eastern war. This will be the year that the focus of geopolitical concern moves to the Western Pacific, where China is engaged in an increasingly tense regional standoff with Japan, centred on ownership of the Senkaku Islands.

We’ll check back a year from now, to see how I did.

It’s always dangerous to de-clare “mission accomplished.”

Former US president George W. Bush did it weeks after he invaded Iraq, and it will be quoted in history books a century hence as proof of his arrogance and his ignorance. British Prime Minister David Cameron did it a couple of weeks ago in Afghanistan, and you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But when Edward Snowden said it this week — “In terms of personal satisfac-tion, the mission’s already ac-complished” — nobody laughed.

Unless you just want a list of events, a year-end piece should be a first draft of history that tries to identify where the flow of events is really taking us. By that standard, Snowden comes first. The former National Se-curity Agency contractor, once an unremarkable man, saw where the combination of new technologies and institutional empire-building was taking us, and stepped in front of the jug-gernaut to stop it.

“You recognise that you’re going in blind...,” Snowden told the Washington Post. “But when you weigh that against the alternative, which is not to act, you realise that some anal-ysis is better than no analysis.” So he fled his country taking a huge cache of secret docu-ments with him, and started a global debate about the ac-ceptability of mass surveillance techniques that the vast major-ity of people did not even know existed.

The bloated American “se-curity” industry and its politi-cal and military allies call him a traitor and claim that “every-body already knew that all gov-ernments spy,” but that is a shameless distortion of the truth. Almost nobody outside the industry knew the scale and reach of what was going on, nor did the US government and its faithful sidekick, the British government, want them to know.

As Snowden, now living in exile in Russia, put it in a Christmas broadcast on Brit-ain’s Channel 4: “A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They’ll never know what it means to have a private mo-ment to themselves, an unre-corded, unanalysed thought.” Unless, that is, the monster of state-run mass surveillance is brought under control.

US district court judge Rich-ard Leon called the NSA’s mass

the world’s year in review: Part i

Former national security agency contractor edward snowden started a global debate about the acceptability of mass surveillance techniques that the majority did not even know existed.

surveillance programme “al-most Orwellian”, and in a 68-page ruling declared that the indiscriminate collection of “metadata” by the government probably violates the Fourth Amendment of the US Consti-tution (relating to unreason-able searches and seizures).

Leon also rejected the spies’ usual defence that their tech-niques are vital to stop the evil terrorists from killing us all: “The government does not cite a single case in which analysis of the NSA’s bulk metadata col-lection actually stopped an im-minent terrorist attack.” The spooks’ stock response would be that they could have told him, but then they’d have to kill him. The truth is that they snooped on everybody just be-cause they could. It’s called hu-bris.

This is not just an American issue, though the protagonists in the debate that Snowden has unleashed are inevitably Amer-ican. These techniques are available to every government, or soon will be. The tyrannies will naturally use them to con-trol their citizens, but other countries have a choice. The future health of liberal demo-cratic societies depends on the restrictions we place on these techniques in this decade.

“The conversation occur-ring today will determine the amount of trust we can place both in the technology that surrounds us and the govern-ment that regulates it,” Snowden said in his Channel 4 broadcast. “Together we can find a better balance, end mass surveillance and remind the government that if it really wants to know how we feel, asking is always cheaper than spying.” He has paid a high price to give us this opportuni-ty, and we should use it.

Now, in no particular order, some other new things this

year, most of them unwelcome. Have you noticed that protest-ers are starting to use non-vio-lent techniques to overthrow democratically elected govern-ments?

We have grown familiar with the scenes of unarmed crowds taking over the streets and forcing dictators to quit: it didn’t always succeed, but from Manila in 1986 to Cairo in 2011 it had a pretty good suc-cess rate, and at least two dozen dictators bit the dust. But the crowds were back in Tahrir Square in Cairo last July to overthrow President Mo-hammed Morsi, who had been elected only one year before in a free election.

Morsi had won with only 51.7 percent of the vote, and a lot of people who did vote for him were holding their noses. The secular liberals who had made the revolution in 2011 divided their votes between several rival presidential candi-dates, leaving voters in the sec-ond round with only a choice between Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, and an adversary who was part of the old regime.

Morsi often talked as if he had a mandate to Islamise Egyptian society (though he didn’t actually do all that much), and it alarmed the for-mer revolutionaries. They could and should have waited for the next election, which Morsi would certainly have lost, mainly because the econ-omy was still a wreck. But they were too impatient, so they made a deal with the army and went back out on the square.

Their little pantomime of non-violent protest lasted only two days before the army stepped in and removed Morsi from power. It subsequently murdered about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters in the streets of Cairo to consolidate

its rule, while the men and women who had been the he-roes of the 2011 revolution cheered the soldiers on. And now these “useful idiots” are joining Morsi and his support-ers in the regime’s jails: the counter-revolution is com-plete.

But it gets weirder: in Thai-land, for the past two months, non-violent protestors have been explicitly demanding the end of democracy. They are relatively privileged people, mostly from Bangkok and the south, who bitterly resent the fact that a series of elected gov-ernments led by Thaksin Shi-nawatra or his sister Yingluck has been spending their tax money to improve the lives of the impoverished rural majori-ty in the north of Thailand.

Naturally, most of the poor vote for the Shinawatras, who win every time there is an elec-tion. In 2006, the rich party (“yellow shirts”) conspired with the army to remove the party of the poor (“red shirts”) in a coup, but as soon as there was an election the Shinawa-tras’ party returned to power. So now the “non-violent pro-tests” have begun again, sup-ported by the prosperous mid-dle class of Bangkok, and this time they are demanding a non-elected “people’s council” made up (surprise!) of people like them.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra responded on 9 December by calling an elec-tion. But of course the “yellow shirts” don’t want an election, because they would lose it. They have declared a boycott of the vote, scheduled for Feb-ruary, and resumed their demonstrations. Democracy is their enemy, and non-violence is their weapon.

ICBC asks drivers to plan ahead for a safe holiday season

Over the past fi ve years, 10 people were killed and 36 were seriously injured in im-paired driving related crashes in B.C. be-tween Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.*

That’s why police will continue to be out in full force at CounterAttack roadchecks across the province during the holidays.

While attitudes towards drinking and driv-ing have changed considerably over the years, an average of 95 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.**

Alcohol impacts a person’s judgment, re-action time, coordination and visual func-tions. Behind the wheel that means it af-fects a driver’s ability to steer, track moving objects and control speed and lane posi-tion. No amount of coffee, food or fresh air can sober up an impaired person – the only cure is time.

So tis the season for some good cheer but make sure you plan ahead for a safe ride home if your festivities involve alcohol.

Here are ICBC’s tips to help everyone get home safe this holiday season.

It’s all in the details. You’ve planned out who you’ll go to the party with, how you’ll get there and what you’ll wear, but have you also planned how you and your friends will safely get home? Choose a designated driver before going out or keep money aside for a bus or taxi. Operation Red Nose is also available in 13 communities to help get you and your car home.

Is it your turn? Share the responsibility to help your friends and family get home safely - ask yourself if it’s your turn to be the designated driver.

Take a stand. Never get in a car with an impaired driver. Ask to get out of the car if necessary. Take a stand and don’t let your loved ones get behind the wheel impaired.

Be a good host. If you’re hosting a party, reward your designated drivers with some fun and easy-to-make mocktail treats, like a smooth Kootenay Koffee or a tingling Lemon Fizz.

Regional Christmas holiday statistics (6 p.m. Dec 24 to midnight Dec 26)**

Every year during the Christmas holi-days, an average of 240 people are injured in 810 crashes in the Lower Mainland.

Every year during the Christmas holi-days, an average of 20 people are injured in 90 crashes in the North Central region.

Every year during the Christmas holi-days, an average of 50 people are injured in 160 crashes in the Southern Interior.

Every year during the Christmas holi-days, an average of 50 people are injured in 170 crashes on Vancouver Island.

Regional New Year’s Eve statistics (6 p.m. Dec 31 to midnight Jan 1)**

Every year during New Year’s Eve, an average of 120 people are injured in 420 crashes in the Lower Mainland.

Every year during New Year’s Eve, an av-erage of 10 people are injured in 50 crashes in the North Central region.

Every year during New Year’s Eve, an av-erage of 30 people are injured in 110 crash-es in the Southern Interior.

Every year during New Year’s Eve, an av-erage of 20 people are injured in 90 crashes on Vancouver Island.

*Fatal victim counts from police data (2008 to 2012). Christmas and New Year’s Day holiday is defi ned as 6 p.m. December 24 to midnight January 1 of the New Year. Im-paired is defi ned to include alcohol, illicit drugs and medicines. A seriously injured victim refers to a road user who required at least one night in hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an impaired driving related crash.

**Crashes and injured victims from ICBC data (2008 to 2012); fatal victims from po-lice data (2008 to 2012). Impaired is de-fi ned to include alcohol, illicit drugs and medicines.

Parties catering to adults are often enhanced with a variety of food and beverage options, and alcoholic drinks are a common component of such gatherings. Party hosts and hostesses who will be o� ering the spirits to their guests should keep safety in the back of their minds.

Many party hosts are unaware that they may be held liable should a person become intoxicated at their event and then go on to injure another person while under the in� uence. This is why bartenders will stop serving customers who are visibly drunk. Although laws vary from place to place, party hosts should still keep tabs on their guests’ alcohol consumption, cutting o� guests who might have had enough to drink. In addition to monitoring alcohol consumption, party hosts can employ these additional practices to keep everyone safe.

* Collect keys upon entry to the party. Ask guests who plan to drink alcohol to surrender their car keys to you when they arrive at the party. Guests may be o� ended at having to relinquish control of their cars, but it is a wise move to remove any temptation to drive away.

* Remain sober. As the party host, you will have a number of responsibilities, including ensuring your guests’ comfort and safety. Having your wits about you will enable you to make better decisions for you and your guests.

* Serve plenty of food. Drinking on an empty stomach is a sure� re way to get intoxicated. Be certain to have a number of foods available and encourage guests to dine before you start serving any alcoholic beverages. This way you can reduce the potentially intoxicating e� ects the alcohol will have on your guests. Though a full stomach won’t guarantee your guests won’t become intoxicated, they are likely to consume less alcohol on a full stomach and the food in their stomach can counter the e� ects of any alcohol they do consume.

* Keep drinks simple. Some specialty drinks call for more alcohol than others. In addition, fruity drinks can mask the � avor

PLAY IT SMART WITH SPIRITED PARTIES

of the alcohol, causing a person to drink more than he or she would normally. Serve simpler drinks so guests know just how much alcohol they are consuming.

* Establish a cut-o� time. Stop serving alcoholic beverages at a certain time. This will give guests time to sober up before the end of the party. The rate at which alcohol leaves the body and enables persons to no longer feel its e� ects varies depending on age, gender, weight, and even race. Experts advise only having one alcoholic beverage per hour, which is the average time it takes for that drink to be metabolized. Consuming nonalcoholic drinks between alcoholic beverages will keep blood-alcohol content down.

* Make nonalcoholic beverages available, too. Giving guests options may help them drink more responsibly. Drinking water is a way to � ush out the system and reduce the e� ects of alcohol.

Party hosts often make alcoholic beverages available to their guests. Use caution and monitor guests’ drinking so no one gets sick or injured.

ICBC asks drivers to plan ahead for a safe holiday season

Over the past fi ve years, 10 people were killed and 36 were seriously injured in im-paired driving related crashes in B.C. be-tween Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.*

That’s why police will continue to be out in full force at CounterAttack roadchecks across the province during the holidays.

While attitudes towards drinking and driv-ing have changed considerably over the years, an average of 95 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.**

Alcohol impacts a person’s judgment, re-action time, coordination and visual func-tions. Behind the wheel that means it af-fects a driver’s ability to steer, track moving objects and control speed and lane posi-tion. No amount of coffee, food or fresh air can sober up an impaired person – the only cure is time.

So tis the season for some good cheer but make sure you plan ahead for a safe ride home if your festivities involve alcohol.

Here are ICBC’s tips to help everyone get home safe this holiday season.

It’s all in the details. You’ve planned out who you’ll go to the party with, how you’ll get there and what you’ll wear, but have you also planned how you and your friends will safely get home? Choose a designated driver before going out or keep money aside for a bus or taxi. Operation Red Nose is also available in 13 communities to help get you and your car home.

Is it your turn? Share the responsibility to help your friends and family get home safely - ask yourself if it’s your turn to be the designated driver.

Take a stand. Never get in a car with an impaired driver. Ask to get out of the car if necessary. Take a stand and don’t let your loved ones get behind the wheel impaired.

Be a good host. If you’re hosting a party, reward your designated drivers with some fun and easy-to-make mocktail treats, like a smooth Kootenay Koffee or a tingling Lemon Fizz.

Every year during New Year’s Eve, an av-erage of 20 people are injured in 90 crashes on Vancouver Island.

*Fatal victim counts from police data (2008 to 2012). Christmas and New Year’s Day holiday is defi ned as 6 p.m. December 24 to midnight January 1 of the New Year. Im-paired is defi ned to include alcohol, illicit drugs and medicines. A seriously injured victim refers to a road user who required at least one night in hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an impaired driving related crash.

**Crashes and injured victims from ICBC data (2008 to 2012); fatal victims from po-lice data (2008 to 2012). Impaired is de-fi ned to include alcohol, illicit drugs and medicines.

Parties catering to adults are often enhanced with a variety of food and beverage options, and alcoholic drinks are a common component of such gatherings. Party hosts and hostesses who will be o� ering the spirits to their guests should keep safety in the back of their minds.

Many party hosts are unaware that they may be held liable should a person become intoxicated at their event and then go on to injure another person while under the in� uence. This is why bartenders will stop serving customers who are visibly drunk. Although laws vary from place to place, party hosts should still keep tabs on their guests’ alcohol consumption, cutting o� guests who might have had enough to drink. In addition to monitoring alcohol consumption, party hosts can employ these additional practices to keep everyone safe.

* Collect keys upon entry to the party. Ask guests who plan to drink alcohol to surrender their car keys to you when they arrive at the party. Guests may be o� ended at having to relinquish control of their cars, but it is a wise move to remove any temptation to drive away.

Kootenay traded fa-vours with the Spokane on the weekend, falling 6-4 at home on Friday, before edging out a 2-1 win on the road in a re-match the following night.

The Ice are tied up with the Wheat Kings at 41 points and sit in sev-enth place in the Eastern Conference.

Kootenay got some bodies back in the roster as Jagger Dirk, Ryan Chynoweth and Rinat Valiev returned from in-juries, while Tanner Faith is still out indefi-

nitely with an upper body injury.

Jaedon Descheneau led the way with a pair of goals on Friday, but Spo-kane was able to out-score the Ice later in the game to earn the win. The Ice also got goals from Zach McPhee and Tim Bozon, while Jack-son Playfair and Riley Whittingham both scored twice for Spo-kane, with Mike Aviani

and Blair Oneschuk also lighting the lamp.

Mackenzie Skapski was pulled after two pe-riods, making 26 saves while Wyatt Hoflin fin-ished the game with six stops in the final frame. Kootenay managed to beat Chiefs netminder Eric Williams four times in 24 shots.

Spokane proved how dangerous they could be with quick goals at the start and end of the sec-ond period, both from Playfair.

“It’s never a good thing, that’s for sure,”

said Descheneau. “but we got to adjust and make sure we don’t let those opportunities hap-pen. I think five of their six goals, they didn’t earn them. It felt like we just had too many errors and we have to eliminate that.”

The two teams traded goals in the first period, Aviani first for Spokane on the power play before Descheneau responded by weaving through a few players in the offen-sive zone and beating Williams with a low shot.

Just 21 seconds into

the second period, Play-fair got his first of the game by picking the pocket of an Ice D-man and beating Skapski through the five-hole.

Five minutes later, Oneschuk went between the wickets on a short-handed breakaway for a two-goal lead for the Chiefs.

W h i t t i n g h a m scooped up a rebound for a 4-1 lead at the later in the frame before the Ice engineered bit of a comeback.

Descheneau one-timed a cross-ice feed at

the side of the net and Zach McPhee scored on a shot on net that pin-balled off a few skates to make it 4-3.

However, with two seconds on the clock, Playfair buried another rebound to restore a two-goal lead with the final 20 minutes to go.

Hoflin came into the net to close out the game, but Whittingham scored a flukey goal from the blue line, sneaking a shot under the armpit of the Kootenay Ice goal-tender on a dump in.

Niedermayer and his family decided to come home and experience Christmas with some snow and ice, which isn’t too common in south-ern California. His par-ents and brother, Rob and his family, are still living around Cran-brook.

“We’ve gone out ski-ing, playing in the snow, a little bit of pond hock-ey, things like that,” said Niedermayer, “so we’ve had a great time staying out at my brothers place and obviously, the par-ents are here too, so it’s been good.”

Niedermayer’s career has been particularly special, as he’s won pret-ty much everything there is to win in junior, pro-fessional and interna-tional hockey. In addi-tion to four Stanley Cups, Niedermayer has two Olympic gold medals (2002, 2010) a World Ju-nior Championship, a World Cup of Hockey, a World Championship and a Memorial Cup.

He won the James Norris Memorial trophy as the NHL’s top de-fenceman in 2004 and captured the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoff MVP in 2007, when he won his fourth Stanley Cup alongside his brother with the Ducks.

In November, he was inducted into the Hock-ey Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Toronto. Family, friends, former coaches and teammates came in from all across

North America to be a part of the event, some-thing that struck a chord with Niedermayer.

“It’s pretty over-whelming so not just being there and seeing the players that are in the Hall of Fame, but to have the support of the peo-ple that were there—and the people that weren’t there—I just know how many people supported me when I was playing and cheering me on be-hind their TV’s and that goes here in Cranbrook as well,” he said.

After retiring in the summer of 2010, he stayed on with the Ducks as a consultant to GM Bob Murray, before sign-ing on as an assistant coach two years later.

Currently, the Ducks are having a pretty good season, tied up with the Chicago Blackhawks at 61 points for first place in the NHL.

Niedermayer attri-butes the success to a youth movement in the roster.

“We got a lot of good young players that I think are key to success in the league,” Nieder-mayer said. “With the salary cap, it’s hard to hold on to all your play-ers, but if you can keep bringing your good young ones in, you’re going to have some suc-cess.”

“We have a lot of good, young players that are playing together right now and believe in each other, so it’s fun to see.”

BILL BEACONCanadian Press

MALMO, Sweden - Zach Fucale will finally get his chance in goal for Canada at the world junior champion-ship.

Coach Brent Sutter con-firmed that the Halifax Mooseheads goalie will get the start when Canada faces Slova-kia in its third group stage game on Monday.

“He’s a very confident guy,” Sutter said of Fucale. “He’s a goalie that has great ability. He’s won a Memorial Cup at a young age. He’s one of two very good goalies here and he’s going to get an opportunity.”

Jake Paterson of the Sagi-naw Spirit started Canada’s first two games - a 7-2 romp over Germany and a wild 5-4 shootout loss to the Czech Re-public.

It appears Fucale may get additional starts if he has a strong game against Slovakia.

“We’ll see how he plays and we’ll determine that after the game,” said Sutter. “I’m taking it game to game. I haven’t said who’s going to be our number one. We have a plan in place and we’ll see how it unfolds.”

The 18-year-old Fucale played one pre-tournament exhibition game against Fin-land and is anxious to make

his first start in a game that counts.

“It hasn’t been difficult at all,” he said. “I just wanted to be supportive and stay ready all the time. I’ll just get in the net and play the best I can. That’s all I can really do.”

Forward Charles Hudon, a fellow Montreal Canadiens prospect, was also in a buoyant mood at practice Sunday as he looks to have earned a regular spot on a line with Jonathan Drouin and Anthony Mantha.

Hudon got the tying goal in the third period that forced overtime and earned Canada an important point in the standings.

“I thought he was really good,” Sutter said of Hudon. “He created a lot of stuff for us and he got a huge goal at a critical time. He’s had a great attitude. He’s stayed positive.”

He had been sharing a posi-tion with 13th forward Taylor Leier, but Leier skated in prac-tice as the extra man on the unit with Bo Horvat, Sam Rein-hart and Conner McDavid.

Defenceman Griffin Rein-hart will serve the last of a four-game suspended incurred from a slash at last year’s world junior tournament. He will re-turn for Canada’s last group stage game Tuesday against the United States.

Kootenay got on the board towards the end of the game when a shot from Jordan Steen-bergen at the blue line redirect-ed off Bozon to cap off the scor-ing.

“We were just inconsistent,” said Descheneau. “We had our chances, our times during the game, played well, played hard and were on the body. You see in the second period we scored two goals within five minutes, we had puck possession and when they had the puck, we took the man to them and created

opportunities and we just weren’t consistently doing that.”

Despite the setback at home, the Ice were able to get it done the following night in Spokane, riding their two-goal lead from Levi Cable and McPhee after the first period to the win.

Cable scored 11 minutes in, and McPhee added a powerplay goal a few minutes later for a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Dominic Zwerger added a goal halfway through the middle frame to cut into the Kootenay lead, but that would be it for

scoring as Skapski shut the door with 36 saves on the night.

Both games also featured the two 1997-born prospects in de-fenceman Dylan Overdyk and forward Austin Wellsby, who are on assignment with their WHL parent squad to cover injuries and the absence of Sam Rein-hart and Troy Murray, who are both at international tourna-ments.

Kootenay has a day trip to Calgary for a rare Monday night contest before heading to Medi-cine Hat for a Thursday evening tilt with the Tigers.

The Kimberley Dynamiters celebrate Tyson Klingspohn’s goal on Sunday night at the Civic Centre during a 7-3 win over the Fernie Ghostriders.

tre vor Cr awleySports Editor

It was an emotional finale in a home and home series between the Kimberley Dynamiters and the Fernie Ghostrid-ers on Sunday night.

After losing 4-2 in Fernie the night before, the Nitros hosted their divisional rivals and skat-ed away with a 7-3 win despite losing four play-ers to injury.

“We fought through a lot of adversity,” said Nitro head coach Jerry Bancks. “Basically as the night went on we lost four key players, one in the warmup and three more as the game went on and for a time there it was a little gloomy, but I think the coaching staff did a great job of getting them to believe that it doesn’t really matter who you lose, it’s oppor-tunity.

“You hate to see someone get injured, but in the world of hockey, injuries are opportunity. So some guys got to play on the powerplay, got more ice time and they stepped up and believed in themselves, so I thought it was a really good character win.”

Despite losing for-ward Jared Marchi in the warmup, Kimberley jumped off to a hot start, and were rewarded with a goal from Marco Cam-panella, who snapped in a one-timer on a great feed from Brady Revie behind the net.

However, Joel Burgess tied it up for the Riders in the latter half of the frame with a tap-in at the side of the net.

Just before the final minute kicked off, Dylan Sibbald streaked down the right wing and roofed a wrist shot top shelf from inside the face-off circle.

Heading into the sec-ond period, the Nitros

continued to build on their lead.

Brandon Becker, a call-up player, got his first career KIJHL goal, snap-ping up a loose puck and beating Fernie goalten-der Austin Wells with a wrist shot.

Fernie cut into the lead a minute later when Aidan Geiger found him-self all alone in front of Kimberley netminder Jeremy Mousseau and deked the puck into the net.

Tyson Klingspohn tal-lied on a powerplay op-portunity to restore the two goal lead after the Riders started getting into penalty trouble.

Near the halfway mark of the game, Revie took a hit near the player benches and went down.

Play was halted and both teams eventually sent to their dressing rooms while athletic trainers, coaches and paramedics surrounded the Nitro forward and stretchered him off the ice.

Earlier in the game, Jason Richter also head-ed to the dressing room after getting hit into a gate that popped open while rushing down the boards.

“We knew we just had to keep our heads down and stick to our game plan and pretty much just say we gotta win it for those guys who are out,” said Andrew Miller.

After Revie was taken off the ice, play resumed and Alex Rosolowsky in-creased Kimberley’s lead to three goals, roofing the puck after taking a slick feed from Jordan Busch.

During the middle frame, Kimberley lost captain Darren Martin who was tossed for chas-ing Kale Johnston around the ice after the Fernie forward delivered a check from behind. Johnston was also eject-

ed for the infraction.The Nitros kept up the

pressure in the third pe-riod, after receiving a four-minute powerplay on a high-sticking penal-ty that the Fernie bench took exception to, and a coach was punished with a game ejection.

Bryce Perpelitz made the Riders pay with the man-advantage, capital-izing five minutes into the period.

Fernie finally re-sponded on an odd-man rush as Burgess fed Ben Primeau, who slipped the puck five-hole while heading in alone on Mousseau.

Miller answered back for Kimberley late in the game, ripping a shot from inside the offensive zone face-off circle to cap off the scoring.

The Dynamiters also lost Tristan Pagura late in the game with an up-per-body injury, accord-ing to Bancks.

Mosseau picked up the win with 26 saves while Wells made 27 saves in defeat for Fernie.

Though Kimberley lost the night before, Bancks said he was happy with the effort his team gave in the Fernie Memorial Arena.

The two teams traded goals in the opening pe-riod, but Fernie broke the game open in the second frame, scoring twice, while Kimberley only re-sponded once.

The two teams added a goal in the final period, but Fernie held on to it’s one-goal lead to take the edge.

“I thought their goalie won the game for them—all the credit to him,” said Bancks. “…They’re a tough team to play against. They’re physi-cally stronger probably, but I thought we did well.”

Dylan Robertson got the scoring started on a

shorthanded effort with five minutes to go in the opening period, but Eric Buckley answered back in the final 90 seconds to even it up.

Aaron Neufeld and Anthony Gilbert scored consecutive goals in the middle frame before Ro-solowsky answered back for Kimberley.

Kurtis Bond put the Riders ahead with a two-goal lead in the final peri-od before Tyler Kinnon tallied for Kimberley, however, the Nitros were unable to complete the comeback.

Jeremy Mousseau took the loss in net with 29 saves while Phoenix Logan-Hill was busy in goal for Fernie with 37 stops.

Discomfort invades a situation. You can’t always deal

with the predictable. Tonight: Process your feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friendships will always star in your life. Someone from a dis-tance could be unusually hostile. You see a lot more than many other people, as you can read be-tween the lines. You might need some thinking time to digest everything that is happening. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Relate directly to a family mem-ber or loved one who can be diffi-cult. Clearly, your goals are differ-ent. Move past this obstacle, as neither of you sees an alternative right now. You have other situa-tions that require your time and attention. Tonight: There will be a resolution. BORN TODAY Golfer Tiger Woods (1975), ac-tress/comedian Tracey Ullman (1959), musician Bo Diddley (1928) Jacqueline Bigar is on the In-ternet at www.jacquelinebigar.com. (c) 2013 by King Features Syndi-cate Inc.

Dear Annie: I have two grown daughters. I don’t know what I expected as we all grew older, but it certainly wasn’t what I got. Here’s the problem with my older daughter, “Bethany.” The three of us had lunch together, and afterward, Bethany said she was bored and had taken on part-time work as a phone sex worker. I was stunned and thought she was making it up. She is notorious for lying. But she swore she was telling the truth. An-nie, she and her husband both have good jobs, and she certainly doesn’t need the mon-ey. It made me furious, but we have not men-tioned it since. Now, my younger daughter is treating me terribly. After high school, I discovered that “Miranda” was a bully to her classmates. She made fun of them and tormented them for years. I had many conversations with both of my daughters about being kind to people, but obviously it never meant a thing to Mi-randa. I now believe she is transferring that attitude to me. She never misses an oppor-tunity to correct me in front of my grandchil-dren. She once hurt my feelings so badly, I broke down in tears. After Thanksgiving, she invited me to go shopping. I was at the designated place, but she wasn’t there. When I phoned, she said she was tied up at the checkout line in another store -- one where she knows I love to shop. I said I couldn’t wait and was going home. She didn’t object. I invited her for Christmas din-ner, and she refused to let me know whether she could make it until the day before. Annie, I have had many surgeries and ill-nesses over the years, but in spite of that, I have lived a pretty good life. My husband and I have been generous with our children. If you see a problem with my attitude, tell me. I am willing to change. Right now, however, I am considering cutting my losses by limiting my contact with both of them. I am too old to put up with this nonsense. -- North Carolina Dear N.C.: We think your daughters enjoy yanking your chain in whatever direction it will go. We know this can be aggravating, but it does seem that they are close to you, having lunch together and offering to go shopping. If you enjoy that aspect of the re-lationship, we’d urge you to take the rest with a grain of salt, knowing that this is how they are. But if it is too stressful for you to be in their company, it makes perfect sense to limit contact to what you can tolerate. Dear Annie: I consider myself a generous person. I never forget the birthdays of my children, grandchildren or friends. I bring casserole dishes to those who are sick or have lost a loved one. Is it asking too much to get a simple thank you? I wouldn’t care whether it was by text message or email. Have we become so enti-tled that we can’t take a few minutes out of our busy lives to show gratitude? I’d like to tell my family and friends that if they don’t get a check, gift or card from me in the future, it’s because they don’t seem ap-preciative. -- Less Generous Dear Less: Don’t tell us and hope they will see it. Tell them directly. Explain that without an acknowledgement of your gifts, you aren’t sure they are welcome or even that mailed items were received. If there is no word of thanks, you will assume in the future that they prefer not to get your cards, checks and casseroles. Dear Annie: I just wanted to add my sugges-tion for “No Hallmark.” My 93-year-old mother recycles greeting cards into beautiful book-marks. Many go to our local library. She loves to do this, and it keeps her busy. -- Santa Cruz, Calif. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Ellen Fitzpatrick (Nee: Duffy). Mary passed away December 19th, 2013 in Edmonton at the age of 91. She went peacefully in her home, surrounded by loving family, and she goes to meet her beloved Simon who has waited so long to be reunited with her.

Mary was born Feb 4th, 1922 in Latimer, Ontario. Placed in an orphanage after her Mother’s passing due to complications of childbirth, Mary was eventually moved to a farm in Eaganville, Ontario where she worked as a farmhand from the age of 12 to 24. It was there she met her dear Simon who worked as a hired hand.

In 1946 Mary moved to Kimberley, BC, where she stayed to raise her family. She loved the community of Kimberley and her fondest memories were of our little mountain town. She also loved music, baking and knitting and spoke lovingly about all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren on a daily basis.

Mary is joined in heaven by her six siblings, who all passed before her. She is survived by her children: Kevin (Trudy) Fitzpatrick, Gerry (Lynn) Fitzpatrick, Sharon (Henry) Rakebrand and Charleen (Rae) Melmoth. She is also survived by her son-in-law Dan (Ana) Innes and John (Alice) Scott who was every bit a son to Mary. Grandchildren mourn: Leslie Fitzpatrick, Denise Rakebrand, Reagan Bartel, Christopher Fitzpatrick, Robyn Schroedl, Jeffery Rakebrand and Jason Scott.

A celebration of Mary’s life will take place January 18, 2014 in the Golden Room at Garden View Lodge (280 4th Avenue) at 10am in Kimberley.
