2015: A busy year for humans

and wildlife

C AROLYN GR ANTIt was a busy year for

Wildsafe BC’s program in both Kimberley and Cranbrook in 2015. Pro-gram coordinator Sonya Seher delivered educa-tional programs in schools, did media out-reach and public pre-sentations. She also did a little spy work, tagging garbage bags at homes where residents were not obeying garbage by-laws.

It was also a year

where human wildlife encounters were on the rise, Seher noted in a draft report to Kimber-ley City Council.

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

City of Cranbrook, Mainroad clean up after heavy snow Tuesday

Into action!ARNE PETRYSHENCrews from Main-

road and the City of Cranbrook Public Works department jumped into action as snow was dumped on the East Kootenay early Tuesday morning.

Al Sander, general manager for the East Kootenay Mainroad, said his crews have been busy plowing the roads and laying down salt and gravel.

“I think the roads are in pretty good shape as

quickly as could be ex-pected in that sort of weather,” Sander said. “You’re always going to have a couple of spots that are a little rough or a little icy, but I think for the most part it was handled quite well.”

Mainroad is in charge of keeping the highways in good shape, while the City of Cran-brook Public Works de-partment is in charge of city streets.

We are excited about our new location in Cranbrook! NuViva is a proud supporter of Ideal Protein.

Derrick Anderson, Public Works manager, said the snow is sticking to the road because of the snowfall followed by the cold weather.

“We had all of our crews going as soon as the snow started flying (Tuesday) morning at 5 a.m.” Anderson said. “We had crews in. It snowed really heavy so we had to basically start over again on our main streets.”

He said on Wednes-day that they were into the secondary priority routes.

The snow in the downtown core will be cleared out today.

On Tuesday, Ander-son said had four un-derbelly plows, a grader and a loader going.

The city is responsi-ble for all the roads in the municipal limits ex-cept Van Horne Street.

Public Works gets

weather reports taken by the Southeast Fire Centre from instru-ments at the Cranbrook yard. The report paints a more local picture of the incoming weather than the more regional fore-casts of Environment Canada and the Weath-er Network.

“Our weather condi-tions are far different from what Kimberley gets, from what Elkford gets and all the rest,” he said.

He added they are waiting for the salt and sand that has been dumped on the roads to start loosening up the ice. It begins to work around minus 8 degrees celsius.

Mainroad’s Cran-brook shop covers as far as Moyie to the south, just past Wardner to the East, Wyclyffe to the west and Wasa to the north.

Sander said they try to send out trucks for pretreatment if the tim-ing and temperatures are right.

“We run a full 24 hour shift out of the Cran-brook location,” he said. “So there are trucks con-tinually available and they are ready to go.”

He said when you get rain, it washes every-thing off the road.

“And it’s impossible to get material on the road fast enough in that transition time,” he said. “You could have 100 trucks and you couldn’t get it out fast enough in those conditions.”

Sander wanted peo-ple to be aware the plow

trucks are out there and to give them as much room as possible so they can do their work as quickly as possible.

“Have a little pa-tience when you’re be-hind a plow truck, be-cause if the traffic lines get too long, as soon as it can safely, they will pull over and let the traffic go.”

Snow clearing crews spring into action

Mainroad is gov-erned by specifications put forward by the prov-ince in terms of what’s expected.

Mainroad has eight trucks in the area, in-cluding two of the newer, bigger plow trucks.

Sander said after a snowstorm there is usu-ally three days of clean-up, mostly intersec-tions, remote side roads and road shoulders.

Sander said going by most of the forecasts, there will be less storm

events, but the ones that we will have will be more serious ones.

“Some of them could be rain, like they were last year — which is the worst thing for winter,” he said, adding that is quite difficult to deal with. “After a storm like this, when we get all the snow and ice off the roads, there is generally some salt residue left. That helps us going into the next storm because that helps keep the snow and ice from stick-ing too bad.”

Tre vor Cr awleyOne of the biggest

days for retail sales is coming up with Black Friday sweeping Cran-brook businesses this upcoming Friday, Nov. 27.

The phenomenon, originating from a shop-ping blitz on the Friday following American Thanksgiving, has be-come a Canadian shop-ping holiday as well, with local businesses jumping on the market-ing effort.

The initiative was enthusiastically en-dorsed by the local business community

and while there was a concentrated effort to market products and services.

With the Canadian dollar at 75 cents to the American dollar, there isn’t as much cross-bor-der shopping happen-ing than in years past, according to Joey Hoechsmann, the presi-dent of the Cranbrook Downtown Business As-sociation.

“We were very orga-nized the last couple years with the initiative that had been put for-ward because of cross-border shopping, we had a big 10 per cent

shift initiative and all sorts of things going on,” Hoechsmann said.

“What we found is with the dollar swap, we’re seeing a little less leakage to the U.S.”

Hoechsmann adds that the hype around Black Friday is becom-ing what it’s like for sales and deals on Boxing Day and beyond after Christmas.

“For sure in our realm and the electron-ics side and even some of the clothing and other retail, we’re seeing a huge shift from people who were maybe wait-ing for Boxing Week,

they’re coming in for Black Friday sales now,” Hoechsmann said.

“It’s good timing for Christmas shopping and even shopping for yourself.”

On Friday, many businesses in Cran-brook will have special pricing and extended hours. For example, Real Deals on Home Decor will be open from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. while The Choice, which has a storefront on Baker St., has an additional loca-tion up and running in-side the Tamarack Cen-tre.

Hoechsmann says,

from all the feedback he’s aware of, that busi-nesses and retailers ar-en’t losing out on as much cross-border shopping than in years past.

“There was a lot of business going down south and that tap has all but turned off and those dollars now are staying in our commu-nity and it’s kind float-ing all boats so I think if you ask most retail busi-nesses in Cranbrook, 2015 was a decent year, which is a nice trend of coming off three or four tougher years in retail,” he said.

Businesses gear up for Black Friday

Chamber ramping up Turkey DriveFor The Townsman

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has launched their annu-al Turkey Drive, raising financial support for the Cranbrook Food Bank and the Salvation Army for the Christmas Ham-per Program.

The Turkey Drive will culminate with a fun day Thursday, December 3, with a final all-out effort to reach this year’s goal of $28,000.

There is a need this year for over 750 Christ-mas Hampers in Cran-brook. The average Christmas hamper costs $85.00 for a total of $64,000. In its sixth year the Turkey Drive has raised over $130,000 to help these two vital local agencies support fami-lies in our community.

“We are working to

ensure that everyone has a Christmas dinners,” said Jason Wheeldon, 2015 Turkey Driver chair. “A donation of a turkey, or turkeys, can make such a difference. The need is year round but is especially poignant at this time of year.”

The Chamber Turkey Drive has grown into the largest contributor to the local hamper program from humble roots when a local community agen-cy put a call out to the business community when they did not have sufficient resources to fill the hamper program.

Staff and volunteers of the Chamber sprang to action phoning Cham-ber members and within 4 hours had raised the money to ensure that families would receive a hamper that year.

The 2015 Turkey Drive has begun online and with celebrity pled-gers working to ensure the program is a success.

“Our Little Pluckers as we like to call them are well known and gregari-ous business people who are hugely instrumental to our success,” said Chief Turkey Chair Wheeldon.

The Little Pluckers have been actively solic-

iting donations and the Chamber website has been set up this year to allow people the ease to make their contributions on line.

The Little Pluckers ce-lebrity crew includes community leaders such as Michael Hardy, Melis-sa Hambalek, Carrie Schaffer, Heather Smith, Chad Jensen, Chris Thom, Karin Penner, Jason Wheeldon, Denise Pallesen, Joey Hoechs-mann, Frank Vanden-broek and Warren Be-dell.

The Chamber Turkey Drive ensures, with the support of our commu-nity, that all families in need can receive a Christmas Hamper. There are hundreds of stories like this each year of appreciation for the assistance received from the hamper program.

“It was the 22nd of December 2012. There

was a knock at the door, I answered it and no one was there. I ran over to the window, leaving the door open, trying to see out the front window to see who had just been there. I saw tail lights. I walked back over to the door. There was a box. A box wrapped around the outside with gift wrap. A box which, once I looked into it, there was a tur-key, a hand full of pota-toes, a freezer bag of car-rots, a can of corn, a can of cranberry jelly, a pack of gravy four homemade buns and a box of stove-top. I won’t try to explain how it made me feel, I will simply say it did. It made me feel… Parts of me still wants to know who it was so I can hug them”

To help the Chamber help the community through the Turkey Drive has never been easier.

On the web-site https://cranbrook-chamber.com/event/turkey-drive/ you can securely purchase tur-keys and will automati-cally receive your tax re-ceipt.

You can call the Chamber office 250 426 5914 using your Visa or MasterCard or you can stop in at the Chamber office and use Visa, Mas-terCard or Interact.

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.

Free Public Swim – Come out and enjoy the Aquatic Centre for free on Wednesday, December 2nd from 5-6 p.m., sponsored by Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary.

CELEBRATING 25YRS of building beautiful homes in the Kootenays

Georgie Award Winning Home Builder

2015 was the first year for WildSafeBC’s Junior Rangers Pro-gram. In Kimber-ley-Cranbrook, this program built on ex-isting school presenta-tions by championing students to take action on wildlife attractants around their home, and to be ambassa-dors for recreating safety in town and in the backcountry. Par-ticipating classes at Cranbrook’s Gordon Terrace Elementary (grade 4) and Kimber-ley’s Lindsay Park Ele-mentary (grade 3) re-ceived two presenta-tions (Bears, Preda-tors/Ungulates) with interactive games and activities, and com-pleted a bear-safe home checklist.

Seher reports that the program was well received and more teachers have request-ed it for next year. Grade 4 students proved to be the pro-grams best audience: the students were old enough to receive the material well, but young enough to ap-

preciate the prizes re-ceived, she noted.

As for human wildlife conflict, the message re-mains the same — gar-bage continues to be the major problem in at-tracting wildlife.

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

Seher also reports she had numerous calls from people in the rural areas C and E requesting pro-gram support, mostly around issues with griz-zlies and badgers.

Currently, the cities of Kimberley and Cran-brook are the support for the program. If the RDEK stepped in, the program could be delivered to rural areas as well. Seher will be working on se-curing RDEK funding in 2016.

The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food.

They’re now allowed to sit any-where in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food.

That’s expected to provide some more flexibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defined lounge areas.

“This is a small change that will make a big impact,” said Ian Tosten-son, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat custom-ers who are dining or enjoying a cock-tail.”

The rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.

should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores.

The stores are reserv-ing dedicated shelf

space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local micro-breweries that has not typically been offered in government stores.

Exactly what’s sold will vary by location.

There are more than

100 eligible microbrew-eries – producing no more than 15,000 hecto-litres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently unlist-ed varieties from the nearest breweries.

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.”

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.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A relative peacefulness comes with your day. You might aggra-vate yourself over some minor details, but others will work with you to get past them. A parent, friend or relative will give up his or her strong stance for now. Communication flour-ishes. Tonight: Very cozy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep communication open. Be willing to handle some last-minute events or problems that pop up from out of the blue. Someone who usually is not around could be difficult, and might need your attention. Don’t take his or her attitude personally. Tonight: Pitch in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be exhausted by the end of the day. Somehow you will find a way to revive your-self. A friend who surprises you might be a source of irritation at the moment. Know that this response has more to do with you than the person. Tonight: The odds are with you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to the words that are shared behind the scenes. Your ability to understand where others come from marks your decisions. You might opt to play it low-key. Others will respond accordingly, and they are likely to reveal their feelings. Tonight: Try to squeeze in some sleep. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be quite imaginative when dealing with a child or loved one. Have a conversation with someone very close to you, as he or she needs to know that you care. You might feel as if you have only so much time and en-ergy. Tonight: Catch up on news. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if you have to handle yourself well. Others want to know the real you. A partner or loved one could con-fuse you by sending you mixed signals. Don’t worry so much; this haze soon will disappear. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one whom you have not seen lately. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be having a difficult

time understanding someone’s reaction. Resist personalizing this person’s response. Make sure that you accurately inter-pret what is going on. A loved one is unpredictable. Tonight: Make calls. Listen to others de-scribe their Thanksgiving. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating takes over. The unexpected is likely to occur in your plans; be ready to make a quick adjustment. Confusion seems to surround communi-cation. You might feel as though someone is speaking a foreign language! Tonight: Let a friend choose where and when. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Do whatever you must in order to have the flexibility you desire. You might be tired of constant changes and new plans. Roll with the moment, and trust that everything will work out fine. Be aware of your finances. Be more in sync with what is occurring. Tonight: Lighten up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your imagination takes you to a new level of understand-ing. Honor a change of pace

when an older family member appears. How you celebrate your Thanksgiving is subject to change. Remain sensitive to what is happening with others. Tonight: Plan on pitching in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and observe what is happening within your immediate circle. You could be surprised by someone’s action. This person could be a neighbor or someone with whom you in-teract daily. Greet the unexpect-ed with a smile. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be sensitive to a family mem-ber’s needs. Know that you can do only so much to help change this person’s mood. You know which way to go, so follow your instincts. Use caution with your funds; otherwise, you could have a problem. Tonight: Hap-piest at home. BORN TODAY Cartoonist Charles Schulz (1922), singer Tina Turner (1939), playwright Eugene Ion-esco (1909)

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.

Holiday films hold a special place in many

people’s hearts, and perhaps no holiday movie of the last 30 years has resonated as much as “Na-tional Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” The oft-quoted holiday favorite turned 25 years old in 2014, yet the film remains as popular as ever.

Fans of “Christmas Vaca-tion” can no doubt quote their favorite lines from the film, but the following are a few tidbits that even the most ardent “Vacation” fan might be unfamiliar with.

· The movie is based on a story titled “Christmas 59,” which was written by the same man, John Hughes, who wrote and produced the film. The film pays homage to this story when Clark Griswold is rummag-ing through the attic and finds a movie reel named “Christmas 59.”

· Frank Capra III worked as an assistant director on

the film. In one scene of the film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which was directed by Frank Capra III’s grandfa-ther, is on a television in the background.

· Actress Mae Questrel (Aunt Bethany) provided the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in the 1930s. “Christmas Vacation” would be her final film.

· “Christmas Vacation” featured a handful of “Sat-urday Night Live” alumni. In addition to the film’s star, Chevy Chase, SNL alums Randy Quaid, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brian Doyle-Murray appeared in the film.

· The role of Cousin Rocky had no lines in the film.

· In the “Lampoon” films that preceded “Christmas Vacation,” Rusty was the older child of the Griswold clan. However, he is the younger sibling in this film.

· “Christmas Vacation” marked the directorial debut for Jeremiah Chechik,

who went on to direct “Benny & Joon” and 1998’s “The Avengers.”

· The movie had a large budget ($27 million) for a comedy with no special effects.

· Surprisingly, “Christmas Vacation” had its own sequel that few are familiar with. The made-for-televi-sion “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure” was released in 2003.

· Cousin Eddie’s fashion style, in particular the sweater/Dickie combina-tion, was the brainchild of actor Randy Quaid’s wife.

· No part of “Christmas Vacation” takes place on Christmas Day. The film cul-minates with the antics that take place at the Griswold home on December 24.

· Brian Doyle-Murray, who played Frank Shirley, is the brother of another famous comic actor: Bill Murray.

‘Christmas Vacation’ still a top pick for holiday flicks

“Christmas Vacation” was the only movie in the series up until then that did not feature Lindsey Buckingham’s song, “Holiday Road.”

Christmas tree varieties and careAn evergreen tree decked

out in lights and ornaments is one of the universal symbols of the holiday season. Through the centuries, people have trekked to forests, Christmas tree farms and commercial lots to pick the perfect trees for their holiday displays. The National Christmas Tree Association says more than 33 million real trees are purchased each year, making the tree business a billion-dollar industry. While there are scores of evergreen varieties, certain tree types are more popular than others and thus more available for purchase. The following are some of the more popular trees come Christmastime.

· Eastern Redcedar: Branch-

es of the tree are compact and form a pyramid-shaped crown. The trees should be a dark, shiny green color. The eastern redcedar is not a true cedar tree, but a mem-ber of the juniper family. This tree can make a great cut tree with a homespun look and a pungent fragrance.

· Leyland Cypress: This cypress is one of the more popular Christmas trees in the southeastern United States. The tree will be very dark green to almost gray in color. It has little aroma. Some people choose the Leyland because it does not produce sap, which is great for those with sap allergies.

· Colorado Blue Spruce: An attractive blue-green foliage and a good symmetrical

form is what attracts many people to the blue spruce. The Colorado Blue Spruce has an excellent natural shape and requires little pruning to look like the perfect Christmas tree. It’s not very fragrant, but the tree needles may give off an unpleasant odor when crushed.

· Scotch Pine: A classic con-ical shape and very good needle retention help make the Scotch pine a popular

tree to cut for the holidays. Scotch pines also are quite prevalent thanks to the tree’s adaptability to a wide range of climates.

· Eastern White Pine: A delicate green color and long needles are found on this tree. Another popular pine, the rich fragrance of the white pine may make it preferable to those who like their homes to smell of evergreen.

· Douglas Fir: The Douglas

fir is one of the foremost Christmas tree species in the United States. It has soft needles that are dark green in color. Those needles radiate in all directions from the branches to give the tree a full look. The needles, when crushed, have a sweet fragrance. Douglas firs tend to live long when cut.

· Fraser Fir: Another popular fir for Christmas is the Fraser fir. The needles are bicolored, with dark green on top and silver on the

bottom. More fragrant than its cousin, the Douglas, the Fraser also boasts a slender profile, which makes it suit-able for smaller rooms.

Christmas tree maintenance

Nothing can guarantee the health and appearance of a tree after it is brought into a home. But choosing a recently cut tree that has good needle retention can help. Here are other tips for a long-lasting tree.

· Use a sharp saw to cut an

inch off of the trunk base to remove the sappy covering that forms from cutting. This will improve water intake.

· Fill a tree stand reservoir with warm water. Expect the tree to drink heavily in the beginning.

· Keep the reservoir filled every day and check to see how much water the tree is using.

· Place the tree far from heaters or other drying sources.

Make sure gifts arrive on timeCome the holiday

season, shipping companies work around the clock to ensure packages, merchandise and more make it to their destinations on time. What would December holidays be without gifts under the tree?

In 2013, overtaxed carriers failed to meet Christmas deadlines for many packages. Some analysts say big retailers and carriers may have underestimated consum-ers’ growing reliance on online shopping - es-pecially for last-minute presents. Since those mishaps, both UPS and FedEx have spent millions on upgrades. More fuel-efficient planes, upgrades to air cargo networks and improved infrastructure and ground shipping operations have

helped shipping compa-nies better handle the increased volume.

As shipping companies work harder to ensure holiday packages arrive at their destinations on time, there also are things consumers can do to increase the chances that gifts make it under the tree before the big day.

· Shop as early as possible. If you plan to buy online or ship gifts to family and friends, shop early so the gifts have time to make it to their destinations. Make a list of all the people whose gifts you will need to mail, then shop for their gifts first so you will have ample time for them to arrive on time.

· Double-check all mailing addresses. Make

sure you have the correct addresses for all friends or family members you will be sending gifts to. An incorrect address can result in packages being returned to sender or floating around in shipping limbo. All of this only decreases the likelihood that gifts will arrive on time.

· Consider a ship-to-store option. A number of big retailers now offer various options that allow cus-tomers to purchase items online and pick them up in a nearby store. In-stock items may be available the same day, while others may have to be shipped to the store for a later pickup.

· Enter shipping parame-ters. Signing up for either My FedEx or MyUPS gives you a little extra control over how packages are sent to you. For example, you can request that packages be held at a delivery center or you can presign for deliveries. These perks can help limit some lost or delayed packages.

· Use proper postage. Bulky envelopes or large packages are better off brought to the post office

for shipping instead of mailing them from home. Inadequate postage could stall delivery of your items and have them returned to you.

· Research shipping cut-off dates. Shipping carriers often list the “last days to ship” for their services so that packag-es will arrive by the date you need them. This way you can plan around the cutoffs.

· Sign up for membership programs. Online retail-ers, such as Amazon, offer expedited shipping on many products as part of their membership programs. For example, Amazon Prime-eligible products will generally arrive within two business days as part of your annual membership fee. The added cost may be well worth the peace of mind fast shipping provides.

An increase in online shopping as well as fam-ilies living further apart has led to a high volume of gifts being shipped around the holidays. Plan accordingly so that gifts will arrive on time.

When buying gifts online or mailing them to faraway loved ones, consumer must leave ample time for shipping.

Save energy with holiday decorations Holiday celebrations include big family gatherings and maybe even some impromptu visits from close friends. During this season of merrymaking, having a few quick snacks and drinks up your sleeve can make it easier to en-tertain guests. Try “Christmas Cookie,” courtesy of Mix That Drink, for a sweet and minty take on the holiday season. 1 ounce peppermint schnapps 1 ounce Kahlua 1 ounce Irish Cream liqueurCombine the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain the drink into a martini glass. Garnish with a peppermint stick, if desired.

Celebrate the holidaysThe holiday season allows people to trans-form their homes into wonderlands of lights, garlands and poinsettias. Each family has its own holiday traditions, and decorations are a part of many of those traditions.

Decorations might be awe-inspiring, but those that include lights often lead to substantially higher energy bills. For-tunately, there are ways for homeowners, whether they prefer subtle displays or more over-the-top arrangements, to save money and still celebrate the holiday season in style.

· Switch to more efficient lights. A great way to ensure holiday displays consume less energy is to change the bulbs being strung. Incandes-cent lights can use 80 to 90 percent more energy than LED lights. Gradu-ally replace older light strands with newer, en-ergy-efficient LEDs. Not only do LEDs require less energy, but they also can

last longer than incan-descent bulbs, meaning you won’t have to replace them as frequently as more traditional bulbs. Furthermore, lower watt-age usage means you can attach more strands of lights together safely.

· Use timers. Timers can be set to turn lights on and off at specific times, ensuring lights aren’t turning on during the daytime or being left on into the night by forgetful homeowners. Timers also are a good safety precaution. A dark house that is normally lit up can advertise to thieves that no one is home. When lights turn on with a timer, it will create the illusion that it is business as usual in your resi-dence.

· Use homemade dec-orations. You also can save energy and money by recycling materials into holiday décor. Trim branches from trees and use them in vases for an instant wintry look. Prune an evergreen on your

property and make your own wreath with some wire and twine. Shop yard sales for gently used decorations that still have years of utility left. Sew ornaments from scraps of fabric or clothing that no longer fits. Each of these ideas reduces reliance on man-ufactured decorations that consume energy during production and fuel while being trans-ported from factories to store shelves.

· Rely on extension cords. You can extend the length of displays without using more lights by spacing out light strands with extension cords. Intersperse spotlights to add attention to key elements of your display as well.

· Turn off interior lights. If a Christmas tree is illuminating a front window, turn off the lights in your home, as the tree may provide enough light to make a living room or den extra cozy.

Keep poinsettias looking great through the holidays

5 tips for being fashionably festive

Along with the fragrant evergreens and twin-

kling lights synonymous with the holiday season, poinsettias make up a key component of holiday decorating.

Unlike holly and some of the other greenery that is commonly associated with the holidays, poinset-tias do not naturally thrive in the colder tempera-tures. These plants originate in southern Mexico and were con-sidered an exotic plant when first introduced to the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico.

Poinsettias can be fickle plants and ones that gar-dening novices may find

challenging to maintain. The plants are comprised of green foliage, colorful (often red) flower bracts, and the actual flowers of the plants, which are the red or green button-like parts nestled in the center of the bracts.

Because they are a tropi-cal plant, poinsettias can be damaged by exposure to low temperatures, even if they are only exposed for short periods of time. They should be wrapped and protected against the elements when brought home. For maximum plant life, poinsettias need to be placed near a warm, sunny window, or another area that has ample amounts of light. They thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 F and

should be kept away from warm or cold drafts.

Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in water. Over- or under-watering can cause leaves to drop premature-ly and wilt. If your home lacks in humidity, you may need to water the plant more frequently. Poinset-tias do not need to be fertilized while the plant is in bloom.

The Ohio State University Extension says poinset-tias can be reflowered the following Christmas, but unless a yearlong schedule of care is ob-served, the results usually are not good. You can

speak with a gardening expert or consult online resources for the proper care schedule. Caring for a poinsettia year-round involves gradually drying out the plant and storing it in a cool location. The plant later will be moved outdoors and then back inside and pruned to keep a full shape.

Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means they flower about 10 weeks after the daylight shortens to about 12 hours or less. Therefore, to have the plant in full flower by Christmas, it will have to be kept in complete darkness between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. from the first part of October until Thanksgiving. Many peo-ple find the affordability

of poinsettias makes it more convenient to buy new ones each year than try to foster regrowth.

Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous to humans or animals, but they should not be ingested due to the potential for allergic reactions. Poinsettias can help remove pollutants from indoor air, which is advantageous during the winter months when doors and windows are typically kept closed.

Select plants that have dark green foliage and no low or damaged leaves. This ensures the best success for keeping poin-settias looking healthy and vibrant throughout the holiday season.

(NC) Celebrating in style at office parties, family gath-erings and festive affairs can be a lot of fun, but for

some, pulling together out-fits for all these events can be downright stressful.

Talia Brown, celebrity and fashion stylist, has some tips on how to effortlessly incorporate the latest trends into your outfits with-out losing that fashionable holiday cheer.

• A blanket scarf is perfect for the boho girl. Wrap your-self up in the office or on your Sunday stroll, it’s the perfect way to add colour and pattern into your winter wardrobe. In the evening go for a fine cashmere or silk to freshen up your look.

• The turtleneck has evolved.

It used to be an under layer but now it’s your state-ment piece. In a variety of textures, colours and prints, there is a turtleneck for everyone. For evening, wear a fitted turtleneck dress with a statement necklace. Be the one to turn eyes with this simple yet elegant look.

• The little black dress will never go out of style and is perfect for a holiday party. It can take you from day to night simply by adding a show stopping necklace or an exquisite pair of earrings. Rebekah Price’s exclusive holiday jewellery collection on eBay.ca, for example, can add some

festive bling.

• For men, the classic black suit is a dashing and time-less choice. Take your suit from day to night by adding a more formal tie.

• As much as we love the elegant heel, sometimes

you need to be practical. Stilettos just aren’t snow friendly. Be winter ready and go to your party in platform loafers, oxfords or a chunky pair of booties. Opt for a pair with tassel or fringe to stay on trend.

UN says it’s a record hot year, even before the year ends

SETH BORENSTEINASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Be-cause of man-made global warming and a strong El Nino, Earth’s wild weather this year is bursting the annual heat record, the World Mete-orological Organization announced on Wednes-day.

The U.N. weather agency’s early bird re-port on 2015 says it is the hottest year on re-cord, surpassing last year’s record heat. It made the proclamation without waiting for the end of the year because it has been so extraordi-narily hot, forecast to stay that way and un-likely to cool down enough to not set a re-cord.

The report comes the week before world lead-ers assemble in Paris to try to negotiate an agreement to fight cli-mate change.

“This is all bad news for the planet,” the agen-cy’s secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said in a statement.

The report is not sur-prising: Scientists at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad-ministration and else-where already were say-ing that 2015 likely would be the hottest. The U.N. agency, NOAA, NASA and Japan’s weather agency all say 2014 is the current re-cord hot year with a global temperature of 14.57 C (58.23 F).

“I would call it cer-tain,” NOAA’s chief cli-mate monitor, Deke Arndt, said on Tuesday. “Something game-changing massive would have to happen for it not to be a record.”

Records go back to 1880.

Jarraud also said it is likely that the world has now warmed by 1 de-gree Celsius, or 1.8 de-grees Fahrenheit, over pre-industrial times. That’s a symbolic mile-stone: International leaders have set a goal of keeping global warming within 2 degrees C, 3.6 F, of pre-industrial times.

“It’s a fair summary

of where we are,” said Gavin Schmidt, head of NASA’s Goddard Insti-tute for Space Studies. “2015 is going to be ex-ceptional in many ways.”

The world is warm-ing because of heat-trapping gases that come from the burning of coal, oil and gas. On top of that, El Nino, a naturally occurring cli-mate event that starts with warm water in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, makes the world even warmer, scientists say.

The report is an atlas of extreme weather, from heat waves in Paki-stan and India, where high temperatures broke 45 C, or 113 F, to a record strong Hurricane Patricia in Mexico. It in-cluded heavy rains and flooding in the southern United States, Mexico, Bolivia, Malawi, Zimba-bwe and Mozambique, and droughts in the western United States, central Europe, Russia and Southeast Asia.

Big corporate Christmas parties on the outs in Calgary as oil downturn continues

CALGARY - The era of the big-ticket corporate holiday bash appears to be on life support in Cal-gary.

“We produce events across North America and everywhere else we’re fine, but in Calgary we’re down 80 per cent,” said David Howard, pres-ident of The Event Group, a party planning compa-ny in the city.

In the past, Howard said, he’s organized ex-travagant events in the city that cost upwards of a million dollars. But en-ergy companies have since returned to reality and are spending far less - both because of budget constraints and public perceptions.

This year, they’re cut-ting back even further - or cancelling parties alto-gether - as layoffs and low oil prices continue to hammer the industry.

“We’ve chatted with a lot of our clients and ad-vised them on holding back this year,” Howard said. “You have a lot of oil-and-gas companies that went through a ton of layoffs, their stock prices dropped, so it re-ally isn’t the best time right now to be doing an event.”

Suncor Energy says it’s not hosting a large employee party this year but will still have regional family events, while Cen-ovus Energy says it’s can-celled its corporate Christmas bash entirely.

“We’ve reduced all of

our discretionary spending in light of the current economic cli-mate, so we are not holding a corporate Christmas party this year,” said Cenovus spokesman Brett Har-ris.

Power utility Enmax has also cut its official party out of respect for customers facing tough economic times, said spokeswoman Doris Kaufmann Woodcock. The com-pany is instead en-couraging its manag-ers to consider low-cost options like pot-lucks.

Some companies, however, had actually ditched the fancy com-pany-funded holiday party well before the downturn.

Both Husky Energy and Enbridge are going ahead with their usual employee-fund-ed parties this year, while TransCanada hasn’t had a large-scale Christmas party in recent years and in-stead leaves it up to small units within the company to decide how to celebrate.

Pam McCarthy at Five Star Events says that even with the cut-

backs, it’s important that companies go ahead with some sort of event.

“If they don’t do it, even in some small way, then that’s not good for morale,” McCarthy said.

“So instead of a mas-sive dinner dance with a band, they might be doing something more low-key, whether it’s a luncheon or an after-work at a pub. Very few companies are cancel-ling their event alto-gether, they’re just doing it on a smaller scale.”

Paddy Sorrenti of Sorrenti’s Catering says that he’s experiencing cancellations and a lot of downsizing of oil-and-gas Christmas par-ties, but outside of the sector, business is still looking good.

“We have a lot of non oil-and-gas clientele, and most of them are still full-tilt with their parties, but they’ve never, ever been super-extravagant,” said Sor-renti.

And while Calgary’s oil-and-gas industry may be cutting back, some companies in the city are still throwing big parties.

Heather Lundy, di-rector of marketing and communications for the Telus Convention Cen-tre, says she’s seen only about a 15 per cent drop in Christmas party bookings, and the com-panies returning this year haven’t cut their at-tendance numbers or their budgets.

Historic cruise ship gets $600,000 lifelineASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA - A historic cruise ship that once carried princ-es and presidents has gotten a $600,000 lifeline that will save it from the scrap heap, for now.

The SS United States was weeks away from being sold to a recycler when its overseers put out an SOS for funding last month.

The SS United States Conser-vancy says it has secured a $250,000 donation, two $100,000 donations and smaller contribu-tions from more than 800 support-ers. The money will be used to continue docking the United States in Philadelphia while the conser-vancy negotiates with developers to convert the vessel into a mixed-use museum and development complex.

The United States holds the re-cord for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing. It became obsolete as air travel increased and was taken out of service in 1969.

Hello everyone I hope you had a great summer. Mine was not so great because my hot water tank in the basement blew up. Well you can imagine the mess. It was very heart breaking because three quar-ters of my basement was all reno-vated. On the flip side now my en-tire basement has been renovated. This is why I have not been writing for the paper these past few months. I have also changed my email ad-dress if you wish to write to me and ask my guides some questions. It’s [email protected]

As my mom would say, “This shall pass to so take a deep breath and keep on trudging, Wendy.” I miss her so much. If there is any-one that had written to me over the summer and I did not respond, now you know the reasons why. I have some emails on my desk and I

will respond to the few I have left. I will phone and or email each indi-vidual that have asked us for help and tell them when the column, which is related to their issues, will be in the paper. Hope-fully, that will get me back on track and on a regular schedule again. My phone number has not changed it is still 250-426-2127.

Dear Wendy:My husband and I have been

married for 16 years. I want to say it has been a great 16 years but I can’t. This man cannot stand anyone tell-ing him the facts or the truth the way it is. I know it seems funny but when I “soft soap” the reality of an

issue he is happy. When he finds out that I did not tell him the truth and left out some of the story he gets mad and then we have an ar-

gument. As we get older he is getting worse and I am at the end of my “teth-er.” What do I do or say so I can have some peace with my husband. I have tried, I have

gone to counselling but nothing I do seems to make him happy. I need you to ask your guides what they think I should do.

Feeling Strung Out

Dear Feeling Strung Out:You know I really like the way

you explained your situation to me. I like the terms you use like “soft

soap” and “end of my tether.” It made me smile you don’t hear the old sayings like that often anymore.

Okay so here’s the scoop on your issues with your husband the way we see it. Take a deep breath be-cause you are not going to like some of my “plain talking.” I did a reading and a “spec” on this not so merry fellow. I also did a “spec” on you because I felt something was not making sense to me when I was reading your email about the com-munication issues you are having with your husband. First let’s talk about hubby: he has a tendency to drink too much. You forgot to men-tion this to us, which is a key factor with the issues you are having with him. Don’t you know that you don’t talk to a guy when he is half “sloshed” about anything because he will probably not remember half

of the conversation he has with you and the other half well with his na-ture he just gets mean and angry when he’s had “a few to many.” However, some people when they drink are happy; unfortunately this is not the case with your husband.

Unfortunately I am running out of space for this week’s column so we will continue on with the rest of your issues in next week’s column.

Wendy

For personal and over the phone consultations phone Wendy@426-2127. Need my guides to answer some of your questions then email us @[email protected] Starting a New Prayer class in January and Anxiety Disorder classes as well. If interested give me a call.

It’s just not been a great sixteen years
