Province proposes grizzly hunting around Kimberley

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

After a summer where Kimberley saw grizzly bears roaming through town, the B.C. government is pro-posing to re-open limited entry hunting for grizzly bears in the St. Mary River Valley.

It’s one of two areas in the East Kootenay – the other is around Fern-ie, Sparwood and Elkford – that could be reopened to grizzly hunting after a two-year sabbatical.

“The areas where resumed hunt-ing is being proposed have stable to increasing grizzly populations that

can sustain a conservative hunt,” said Andrew Wilson, Director of B.C.’s Fish, Wildlife and Habitat Management Branch within the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Operations.

Hunting of grizzly bears was closed in the St. Mary River Valley in 2011. After a summer of bear incidents around Kimberley, the B.C. government

is seeking to allow grizzly hunting in the area next spring

“If hunting or other grizzly mortality ex-ceeds mortality esti-mates, the hunt can be reduced or even com-pletely closed, as has been done previously.”

The government is proposing that next spring, limited entry hunting could be re-opened in Management Units 4-20 – the St. Mary Valley and north to Skookumchuck – and 4-23 – in the Elk Valley – to allow the harvest of five grizzlies each year for three years. This tar-get could be altered if more grizzlies are killed than the target, either through hunting or rail and road kills.

“Because we recog-nize inherent uncertain-ty in our population and harvest rate estimates, conservative mortality targets are used, as well as other important sources of information,” said Wilson.

Grizzly hunting in those areas was closed in 2011 because more bears – specifically fe-male bears – had been killed than the province thought was necessary to maintain the popula-tion. The Fish and Wild-life Branch asks hunters to select male grizzlies.

Grizzly hunting re-mains permitted in other parts of the East Kootenay. In 2012, the province issued 3,716 tags across B.C., but only 250 grizzlies were harvested.

The Ministry based its proposal on a study of the grizzly bear popu-lation in the South Rockies published in September.

The ministry’s pro-posal comes after a year of increasing grizzly bear incidents around Kimberley.

In September, two ju-venile grizzly bears spent a week roaming through Kimberley and Marysville. Conserva-tion Officers were forced to kill one of the pair in Marysville and relocate the other bear up the St. Mary River Valley. The same month, a grizzly bear killed an elk on Lois Creek Trails in Kimberley.

Grizzlies were also spotted over the sum-mer at Kimberley Alpine Resort, and long-time Wycliffe rancher Ray Van Steinburg reported grizzlies killing his cattle in September for the first time in his 63 years on the property.

In November 2012,

two Wycliffe residents were fortunate to sur-vive an attack by a sow grizzly near LD Ranch Road after they startled the grizzly and her cubs feeding on a deer. Susan Bond and Peter Moody both suffered multiple lacerations, bites and puncture wounds to the head, arms, legs and torso.

Local Conservation Officers tracked the grizzly but determined the bear and her cubs had left the area so they did not feel it necessary to pursue the bears, a decision that Susan and Peter supported.

Meanwhile, in the Elk Valley, two men were attacked by a griz-zly bear on Mount Proc-tor in July. The pair were hiking when attacked by a sow without knowing she was nearby. After first using bear spray, one of the men shot and injured the bear, which fled. They suffered wounds to the arms and legs.

In October, two hik-ers came across a sow and two cubs feeding on a moose on the Gallo-way trail. When the sow charged the hikers, one of the men shot and in-jured the bear. Trails in the area where closed

for a week.Local wildlife ecolo-

gist Bob Jamieson, a res-ident of Ta Ta Creek, said all of these encoun-ters with grizzlies indi-cate there is a healthy population in the Rocky Mountain Trench.

“We closed the fall grizzly bear hunting season back in the 1970s and it allowed these bears to recover and they’ve been managed very conservatively for 30 years now. And the population has recov-ered. It’s a huge suc-cess,” said Jamieson.

“Our dilemma here in the Kootenays is this: how do we balance maintaining a healthy bear population, in-cluding many bears liv-ing in the Trench, where they constitute a risk to people who live in the rural areas in the main valley?”

Jamieson has pre-pared a report, “Grizzly bear numbers in south-ern B.C., Alberta and northern Montana,” de-tailing the grizzly popu-lation in the region.

According to Jamie-son’s report, there are now more than 900 griz-zlies in the East Koote-nay. In the Crown of the Continent region – in the Waterton and Flat-

head areas and north-ern Montana – there are an estimated 1,226 bears. In the Canadian Rockies there are an es-timated 1,309 bears, and west of the Rocky Moun-tain Trench there are an estimated 1,767 bears, for a total of 4,302 bears.

“One of the pieces of the puzzle is that most people don’t realize just how many bears we have now. Grizzly bears are certainly not a spe-cies at risk anymore. We have a very healthy population that is pro-ducing an excess of bears that are moving into human occupied areas.

“If you don’t like hunting, you need to re-alize that by opposing hunting, you are not saving a bear’s life. It just means the Conserva-tion Officers will have to shoot it instead of the hunter,” said Jamieson.

A former outfitter and rancher, Jamieson said that when he first moved to the East Koo-tenay 40 years ago, peo-ple would talk for a week if they saw a grizzly bear track.

“From my window I’m looking out at the Kootenay River and a month ago I had a griz-zly bear feeding on a

dead horse right in my view. That’s very com-mon now,” said Jamie-son.

“I expect to carry a rifle or bear spray when I’m up the White River or up the St. Mary’s. But I don’t think it’s very good for bears or people if we have to grab a bear spray when we want out of the house to walk the dog.”

Jamieson supports the province’s proposal to reopen the grizzly bear hunt around Kim-berley and in the Elk Valley to manage this population growth.

“That’s a hard sell with some people, espe-cially with people who live in Victoria who can feel good about saving grizzly bears but don’t have to live with the consequences of having them in your backyard.”

You can read Jamie-son’s report in full at www.dailytownsman.com.

A biologist for the Raincoast Conservation Foundation cautions there is a history of griz-zlies being killed past the target in the Koote-nays.

“The government has also identified this region as being one of particular conservation

concern given numer-ous other hu-man-caused impacts, such as roads, develop-ment, and bear-human conflicts,” said Kyle Ar-telle, who is a PhD can-didate at Simon Fraser University.

Artelle added that factors such as food shortage or habitat loss could be bringing griz-zlies into communities, rather than overpopula-tion.

“Observing more bears in a given location does not necessarily mean that populations are increasing,” said Ar-telle. “Expanding the hunt in an area in which bears are experiencing considerable other stressors, and where re-peated management failures have historically led to frequent and widespread overkills, is a management strategy based on neither cau-tion nor on sound sci-ence.”

There seems to be a Grinch or Grinches at work in Cranbrook.

This month, there have been at least three incidents where Christ-mas decorations were stolen from Cranbrook yards, according to RCMP.

It’s the first year there has been a pat-tern of such thefts: RCMP said there were no thefts of Christmas decorations in 2012 in Cranbrook or Kimber-ley.

The complaints started in early Decem-ber when residents of Candy Cane Lane re-ported several decora-tions were stolen and others destroyed over-night on Dec. 1.

Police believe a small pickup truck is associated with that crime, possibly a Datsun with two youths.

Otherwise known as 25th Avenue South, Candy Cane Lane has been a popular spot to see Christmas lights in Cranbrook for decades.

Still, Candy Cane Lane remains decorat-ed for the Christmas season, and residents continue to invite folks to enjoy the season by visiting the culdesac.

Meanwhile, RCMP have had reports of a replica Eiffel tower sto-len from a yard on 16th Street South.

And early on Dec. 9, a three-foot wooden snowman was stolen from Mount Pyramid Crescent.

“The snowman was handmade and painted and has significant sen-timental value to its owners,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron.

In another incident, 3A Street resident Deb-bie Sinclair found an ornamental deer miss-ing from her front yard on Dec. 5.

“My deer got legs and walked off,” she said. “I knew its head could move, but I didn’t know its legs could.”

Despite looking around, Sinclair said there has been no sign of the decoration.

“At first I thought, maybe it’s just kids who moved it down the street but it hasn’t shown up,” she said.

She’s not sure what would lead someone to

Tom FleTcherAfter a whirlwind

year that started with a come-from-behind elec-tion win, Premier Chris-ty Clark sat down with me  for the traditional year-end interview in her Victoria office. Here are excerpts from that discussion. A longer ver-sion with video can be found under the Opin-ion tab of this newspa-per’s website.

TF: Premier, you sur-prised a few people this year. What surprised you the most about 2013?

PCC: I guess it was the disconnect between the pollsters and the pundits, and the public. I did have a sense all the time that the citizens were thinking some-thing different in the run-up to the election campaign. I wondered, am I missing something here, or are they missing something? And I guess it turned out that it wasn’t me that was missing something.

TF: The liquefied natural gas export proj-ect is going to use a lot of natural gas, especially in the early years. Will B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets [20 per cent reduction by 2020, 80 per cent by 2050] have to be changed?

PCC: I don’t have a clear answer on that yet. We are working with the companies on exactly how we are going to structure their environ-mental commitments and costs, and their electricity costs versus using gas, the total roy-alty tax regime. We’re looking at that as one package.

However that turns

Premier looks back on 2013

out, though, this oppor-tunity to export natu-ral gas to Asia is the sin-gle biggest opportunity we have ever had as a province to reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions around the world. In shipping this to China, we are going to help them wean them-selves off some of the dirtiest coal anybody’s burning anywhere in the world.

TF: If B.C. is going to get credit for displacing coal use in Asia, shouldn’t B.C.’s coal ex-ports, even though it’s metallurgical coal, count in our greenhouse gas total as well?

PCC: I know that the academics and pundits are going to get all mired in competing sets of numbers and studies. For me, we have a chance to do good for the world, and we’re going to take it.

TF: On oil pipelines, your agreement in No-vember with Alberta Premier Alison Redford involves B.C. supporting her effort for a national energy strategy. What do you see it doing in the future?

PCC: The big idea that she’s trying to pur-sue with that is a strate-gy that will connect us east to west in energy. Energy grids are much better connected north to south than they are east to west. So she’s try-ing to pursue a pan-Ca-nadian strategy for the exchange of energy, whether that’s hydro-electricity or natural gas or whatever it is.

We haven’t been inti-mately involved with it until recently, so we’ll see where it goes.

TF: There’s a percep-tion out there, fuelled by the opposition, that you campaigned against oil pipelines and now

you’re turning the tank-er around, as it were, to be in support of them. What do you say to that?

PCC: It’s typical of the other guys to rein-terpret and misquote. That’s what they do. They’re in opposition. What I said was, we have five conditions that must be met in order for heavy oil to be consid-ered to go ahead in Brit-ish Columbia. That has not changed.

The five conditions remain in place. As of today, none of them have been met. The only thing that is different today, from before the election, is that now I no longer stand alone in supporting the five con-ditions. I have one other premier supporting me, and that’s Alison Red-ford.

Employers can now apply for funding for the Canada Summer Jobs 2014 program from the federal gov-ernment.

Kootenay Colum-bia MP David Wilks said the funding will create thousands of job opportunities for students across the country.

Wilks was speaking on behalf of Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and So-cial Development and Minister for Multicul-turalism. The govern-ment is creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity, Wilks said.

“Through Canada Summer Jobs, we are helping students get the skills and training they need for jobs now and in the future,” Wilks said. “We en-courage employers to

apply for funding and create jobs that will not only benefit stu-dents but communi-ties and local econo-mies as well.”

The program is meant to help students gain the skills and ex-perience to help them succeed in both pres-ent and future endeav-ours, while also earn-ing money for the next school year.

This year, the appli-cation period for em-ployers to get Canada Summer Jobs funding has changed.

Applications are now available at ser-vicecanada.gc.ca/csj and must be submit-ted by Jan. 31, 2014.

Wilks said the new timelines mean suc-cessful employers will be notified sooner and have more time to re-cruit students.

Funding is available to not-for-profit orga-nizations, public-sec-

tor employers and small businesses. Jobs in the program are open to youths be-tween the ages of 15 and 30, who are full-time students and in-tend to return to school in the fall.

Every year, Canada Summer Jobs provides $107.5 million across all 308 federal constit-uencies to create stu-dent employment.

Since 2007, the pro-gram has helped over 260,000 students.

Canada Summer Jobs 2014 is expected to create approximate-ly 35,000 jobs, while helping employers ad-dress skills shortages.

Canada Summer Jobs is part of the Gov-ernment, Youth Em-ployment Strategy.

Wilks said by in-vesting in youth they are helping contribute to Canada’s economic growth and long-term prosperity.

OpiniOn/EvEntsLetters to the editor

Cranbrook deerI live in Willowbrook Estates, a gated

community that has mostly elderly resi-dents. These seniors are afraid to go for walks, especially if they are walking with their dogs. People should realize that a buck in the rut or a doe with young can be very aggressive, no matter how cute they look.

Deer, as with all wildlife, will find the easiest food source where they have no predators. City living is the ideal place.

Comments in the paper tell us to re-move the food source. Deer are browsers. They will eat most everything, from what they like best to that they do not like but will eat to survive. It doesn’t make sense to try and remove the food source. It would mean all flowering shrubs, cedars, flowers, roses, lawns and vegetable gar-dens are removed.

I disagree with the biologist who said when deer culls are done, it creates room for deer to move in from outside.

Most of the deer, if not all, have been bred and born in town in the last 13 years that I have lived here. They will continue to do this and multiply every year. These deer have lost their survival instincts; to challenge a lap dog in town is not the same as a wolf or a cougar in the bush. The deer born outside of town have sur-vival instincts and have no desire or need to come into town.

A letter to the editor claims they have seen only four deer in town in the last year (?). Today, I removed 13 deer from our complex. This is almost a daily occur-rence.

We are told complaints are down. I wonder why.

It is useless to complain to City Coun-cil, the COs or any government agency, as no one takes responsibility and nothing is done. The deer are doing thousands of dollars damage in our complex and will one day injure an elderly resident.

oncologyI am a recently diagnosed cancer pa-

tient receiving chemo treatments in Cran-brook. As grateful as I am for the facility being close to my home town of Kimber-ley, I do find that the small Oncology De-partment within the Cranbrook hospital is no longer able to adequately sustain the growing number of patients being served.

A patient-centred environment of care is one that provides for patient privacy. The current department is in such a small space that often patient comfort and con-fidentiality are compromised.

Since the doctor’s office is usually oc-cupied, another area or room needs to be provided where sensitive conversations can occur.

As well, the one and only bathroom is forced to double as a storage closet for office supplies, cleaning products, and various other items. Manoeuvring an IV stand in and out has its challenges.

patients are forced to stand in the clut-tered main hallway of the third floor amongst the other items that are being stored there.

Spaces for appropriate patient care and supply storage are desperately need-ed.

This being stated, I would like to sin-cerely thank the wonderful staff of this department who are kind and caring pro-fessionals.

Light Up tourI would like to commend the City of

Cranbrook and the Lions Club for one of the best Light-Up tours on which I have been (and I have been on many). Sadly, it was a poor turn-out, mostly because of the weather and the treacherous roads. In my complex (Terra Lee), there were only four at the gate, waiting for the bus. Our driver did come in and drive around look-ing for others, but of course no one knew that would happen, so four was the total.

The tour was well planned, but unfor-tunately we were not able to see the Fo-raie House (the old Elks Hall), because of the road. I must mention how helpful the Lions were in helping us in and out of the Hall.

However, it was a most enjoyable eve-ning.

Hospital parkingThere is a dreadful shortage of parking

at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Anyone who has visited during peak hours or had tests knows this. Indeed, patients are unable to attend for critical tests through Diagnostic Imaging because of these shortages.

Any day of the week, 24th Avenue is lined with parked vehicles as far as the fire hall.

When the Canadian Aviation Authority ruled that the helicopter port needed to be expanded it was done at the expense of parking spaces.

Apparently the City has bylaws regu-lating such things. I am not sure that the hospital grounds have been surveyed to ensure they are in compliance.

After years of lobbying, we finally hear that Interior Health will be building a proper ICU to compliment the other ser-vices at the EKRH. With this, they are re-quired to add additional parking spaces. They have asked for a variance on this requirement. That is to say, they don’t want to do it.

Certainly there are only two extra beds, but anybody who has had friends or fam-ily in ICU knows that they require the help not only of the hospital and all the health care workers, but also of any friends and family who wish to visit. It is part of get-ting better.

Two extra beds also means more staff, not only nurses but also the support staff. In their application they state that unoc-

cupied service areas (mechanical and electrical rooms) do not generate traffic. This is not true. Who do you think main-tains these rooms?

For years we have known there was a shortage of parking at EKRH. In the last two years this has gone critical. The situa-tion will be aggravated by the addition of our long awaited ICU.

City Council should not issue a vari-ance. Instead, they should prove that the hospital is providing the beds mandated by our bylaws, now and into the future.

We have a beautiful ambulatory care unit, a superb Diagnostic Imaging De-partment, generous OR facilities, and we look forward to having a first class ICU. Parking is part of the package. Interior Health should not be allowed to cut cor-ners on this. The request for variance should be denied.

Kimberley cullI am writing to express an opinion on

the deer cull.I keep reading that a relocation of

these deer cannot be done. I asked a member of the deer committee why not, and was told that studies had shown this to be the case.

Tonight I read in the paper that the BCSPA is saying that it can’t be done be-cause of stress and low survival rate. I don’t remember it ever being tried here, to come up with those results.

I know we have a problem in and out of town. Lots of deer in town and very few out of town, so to me it makes sense to replenish our deer herd out of town. Yes, there will be deer that will die to predation and get eaten with little going to waste. I’m wondering if people would sooner go this route by giving it a try with the next 30 deer. Even if half live you give them a chance to give our outside deer a jump start.

I have spoken to a wildlife contractor who has a lot of experience with trans-plants. He feels that 15 deer could be moved at a time without drugging them. He feels that stress would not be a big factor when moving them but does feel deer would be lost to predation. He also feels that the deer would adapt to preda-tors and there would be survivors.

Back to the BCSPCA, I’m left to won-der what they thought of the caribou transplant to this area that didn’t turn out so well. The same contractor told me that he didn’t think it was going to work before it happened.

These deer here would not be subject to nets,drugs, and a very long move. Take them to Premier Ridge, only a short move, and see what happens. I really think this is another option to a big problem. I have got to believe it would be cheaper also.Whatever is done there will be opposi-tion. I favour trying to move them at least once.

Purges in Communist states have rarely stopped with the execution of one senior Party member, especially

when he has been tortured into “confess-ing” at his show trial that he was planning to stage a coup using “high-ranking military of-ficers” and other close al-lies.

“I didn’t fix the defi-nite time for the coup,” Chang Song-thaek, the former number two in the hierarchy of the world’s last totalitarian state, said at his trial. “But it was my intention to concentrate (my allies in) my department and in all the economic organs in the cabinet and be-come premier when the economy goes totally bankrupt and the state is on the verge of collapse.”

It’s most unlikely that Chang was really planning a coup, but all of his suspected allies and associates in his own depart-ment and other parts of the government, plus any senior military officers suspect-ed of less than total loyalty to Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, are in grave danger. Only two of Chang’s aides have been killed so far, but hundreds or thousands of other people thought to be linked to him may suffer the same fate.

This is unquestionably the biggest in-ternal crisis in North Korea since the early years of Kim Il-sung, the founder of the regime and grandfather of the current dictator. Challengers to the Kim family’s monopoly of power have often been killed, but this is the first public show trial in North Korea since 1958.

It’s also the first time that the regime has publicly admitted that there are rival factions in the senior ranks of the Work-ers’ (Communist) Party. It’s hard to be-lieve that this will not be followed by a wider bloodbath among the leading cad-res along the lines of Stalin’s purges in the

former Soviet Union and Mao Zedong’s in China. It’s harder to understand what is driving the current upheaval, but some plausible guesses are possible.

When Kim Jong-il, the father of the current ruler, was dying, he chose Chang as the man who would ensure a smooth transfer of power to his son. (He was married to the elder Kim’s sister, and was therefore presumably loyal to the family.) Chang acted as chief adviser to Kim

Jong-un, who was only 28 and quite inex-perienced when he inherited the leader-ship in 2011, and Chang’s manner some-times seemed quite overbearing.

At the same time, he was the principal advocate within the regime for an eco-nomic opening on the Chinese model to rescue North Korea from its crushing pov-erty. To achieve that goal, he first had to wrest control of the country’s leading in-dustries from the military, whose enter-prises account for a third of the entire economy. This naturally made him an enemy in the eyes of the military estab-lishment.

So we can speculate that Kim Jong-un, as he gained confidence in his own abili-ties, grew increasingly hostile to the dom-inating influence of Chang, who was more than twice his age. He would need allies before he moved against Chang, and many military officers were glad to oblige.

On this reading of events Kim wants to get rid not only of Chang but of the entire generation of older military and civilian leaders who secretly regard him as an upstart. His objective would be to replace them wholesale with younger men who owe their positions directly to him. Or maybe something else is at the root of all this turmoil: we simply don’t know.

What we do know is that there is great turmoil in North Korea, a nuclear-armed

country with the fifth-biggest army in the world. Most people assume that at some point in the future the regime will col-lapse, and some well-informed people worry that the collapse could come quite suddenly and quite soon. Interestingly, almost nobody wants that to happen.

Most North Koreans don’t want it to happen despite the dreadful conditions they live in, because a lifetime of propa-ganda has convinced them that South Koreans (and everybody else) lives in even worse conditions than the citizens of the Workers’ Paradise.

Most South Koreans don’t want it to happen because they would then have the duty of rescuing 24 million North Ko-reans from dire poverty. In theory they want unification, but there are only 50 million South Koreans to bear the bur-den, and it would take a generation of sacrifice to accomplish that task.

Neither North Korea’s Chinese neigh-bours nor South Korea’s American allies want it to happen, because the collapse of the Pyongyang regime could bring them into direct conflict. As a recent study by the Rand Corporation pointed out, it would cause a race between Chinese troops and South Korean and American troops to take control of North Korea’s territory.

The Chinese would be determined to keep American troops away from their own border with North Korea. The South Koreans and their American allies would feel compelled to go to the aid of a North Korean population that was probably fac-ing starvation by then. And both sides would be racing to gain control of North Korea’s nuclear weapons before some-thing terrible happened.

In such circumstances, a collision be-tween Chinese and South Korean/Ameri-can forces is all too easy to imagine. Kim Jong-un is a very nasty piece of work, but a lot of people are praying for his survival.

In sports, the mantra goes that any given team can win on any given night.

That was the case on Tuesday night, as the Ice surrendered an early lead to fall 5-4 in a shootout against the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

The ‘Canes, limping into Western Financial Place with the worst re-cord in the CHL, forced a shootout after refus-ing to lay down and quit when facing an early deficit in the first period.

Reid Duke was the shootout hero for the ‘Canes, beating Koote-nay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski through the five-hole in the third round to give Lethbridge their sixth win in the last 38 games.

For ‘Canes assistant coach Brad Lukowich, it was his first WHL vic-tory in his hometown.

“We got off to a slow start, obviously,” said Lukowich, a local prod-uct and former NHLer who has transitioned into coaching. “That’s kind of the way we’ve been. We gotta focus on our starts—we give ev-

erybody a head start and we’re always bat-tling back, but you gotta give our guys credit, they didn’t fold.”

For Kootenay, it was a game of missed op-portunities, according to assistant coach Jay Henderson.

“We gave away the game tonight. I didn’t like the way we played, we had way to many turnovers” Henderson said, who is taking charge of the team with bench boss Ryan Mc-Gill on staff with Team Canada at the World Ju-nior Championships.

“…We played right into their cards and our biggest thing was we wanted our guys to be focused on here and not elsewhere looking forward to holidays.

“We asked for three periods, we got the first period, which I thought was OK, but after that, we gave it away.”

Kootenay got of-fence on a pair of goals from Luke Philp, while Tim Bozon and Kyle O’Connor lit the goal lamp as well. Leth-bridge replied with Duke, Riley Sheen, Kol-ten Olynek, and Gior-gio Estephan.

Wyatt Hoflin initially got the start, but sur-rendered three goals in 10 shots before Skapski went in for relief, turn-ing away 23 pucks. Corbin Boes picked up the win for Lethbridge with 31 saves.

Less than three min-utes into the game, Kootenay doubled up on Lethbridge on goals from Philp and O’Con-nor. With the ‘Canes looking dazed and un-organized, head coach Drake Berehowsky called a important time-out.

“It was a well-timed time-out by Drake, brought the guys in, settled them down, got them back to business and then we went out and clawed our way back in,” said Luko-wich.

Sheen beat Hoflin above the glove in the

top right corner while entering the zone, but Philp restored the two-goal Ice lead less than 30 seconds later.

Olynek took out the trash in front of the crease and Duke cut in to the middle on a pow-erplay and scored to even it up at 3-3 after 20 minutes.

Bozon was turned away by the post on a shot, but eventually got his goal late in the mid-dle frame to give the Ice a one-goal lead. Koote-nay also had four straight powerplays over that time—one of which was a two-man advantage for 52 sec-onds.

However, they couldn’t score.

“Special teams can win and lose you games, and I thought we were fortunate to get one point tonight,” said Henderson.

Estephan knotted the game back up at the halfway mark of the final period off a quick shot during an offen-sive zone face-off, which eventually forced overtime.

Landon Cross had the most danger-ous-looking chance for

the Ice when he pinched into the slot from the blue line and swung at a loose puck, but Boes made the save.

Philp, Bozon and Jaedon Descheneau were all turned away by Bozon in the shootout, while Skapski made saves on Sheen and Tyler Wong before being beat by Duke.

Again, the Ice had a short bench with inju-ries to Jagger Dirk, Ryan Chynoweth, Tanner Faith, and Rinat Valiev, while Sam Reinhart is away at the World Ju-niors.

NOTES: Former Le-thbridge Hurricanes head coach Mike Dyck was on the bench with Henderson, and has been with the team for the last three games. Dyck was hired earlier this year to assist Hen-derson during McGill’s absence at the World Junior tournament. Kimberley native Coy Prevost made his WHL debut in Saskatoon with the Blades on Tuesday night. Prevost was called up from the Kootenay Ice in the B.C. Major Midget League.

Former Panthers bench boss named coach of Canada’s

women’s hockey teamCALGARY - With less than two months to go until

the Sochi Olympics, Kevin Dineen will have to hit the ground running as the new head coach of the Cana-dian women’s hockey team.

Dineen was named to the post Tuesday, just a few days after Dan Church’s surprise resignation. Dineen was signed for the remainder of the season and will guide the defending champions at the Feb. 7-23 Win-ter Games.

It’s the first international coaching job for Dineen, who served as head coach of the NHL’s Florida Pan-thers for parts of three seasons until he was fired last month. He previously served as head coach of the AHL’s Portland Pirates for six seasons (2005-11).

Dineen, a 50-year-old who was born in Quebec City and raised in Toronto, also played in 1,188 NHL regular-season games, scoring 355 goals and adding 405 assists.

He succeeds Church, who unexpectedly stepped down last week. Church said he felt there was a lack of confidence in his ability to coach Canada to a gold medal at the Games.

Assistants Lisa Haley and Danielle Goyette han-dled the coaching duties in Canada’s 5-1 loss to the archrival United States in an exhibition game last Thursday in Calgary. The two women’s hockey pow-ers meet again Friday in an exhibition game in Grand Forks, N.D.

Strong Canadian luge team heads to Sochi seeking � rst

Olympic medalCALGARY - World Championship and World Cup

medallist Alex Gough and two-time Olympian Sam Edney will lead a promising Canadian luge team into the Sochi Games with the goal of bringing home the country’s first Olympic medal in the sport.

The Canadian Luge Association officially named seven athletes to the 2014 Olympic team Tuesday. Edney, will lead teenagers John Fennell and Mitchel Malyk into their first Games in men’s singles. Tristan Walker and Jus-tin Snith will represent Canada in doubles, while Gough, will be joined by Kimberley McRae in women’s sin-gles.

Arianne Jones and Jordan Smith will race off in Calgary on Wednesday and Thurs-day for the final wom-en’s spot.

Gough snapped Ger-many’s 13-year, 105-race winning streak when she became the first Ca-nadian to win a World Cup luge race in 2011. Gough has since be-come the first to Canadi-an to win multiple World Championship and World Cup medals.

Canada has compet-ed in luge at every Olym-pic Games since Greno-ble 1968, but has yet to medal. They hope to contend in all discipline sin Sochi, including the new luge relay event.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might need a shake-up to get going. The alternative of a slow, lazy morning also could hold unusual appeal. How you choose to live is your call. Don’t get involved in a partner’s con-trolling attitude. Pull back if you see a power play evolving. Tonight: Mosey on home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your morning provides an in-sight that energizes communi-cation. You’ll want to clear up a problem before you have a collision of wills. How you per-ceive someone could change as a result. Understand how con-trolling an individual is. Tonight: Don’t cut off communication. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not be aware of all the assets you possess. An un-predictable person could make you feel as if a mini-revolution is about to begin. Try to suppress the drama king or queen with-in yourself. Your clarity counts. Tonight: Your treat; be careful if shopping.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) No one can squelch your en-ergy, regardless of how hard others might try. Your flexibility comes from the strength of your feelings and from your ability to process them. A loved one could display a need for more control. Tonight: Count on your lucky rabbit’s foot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take your time and consider your options if you witness someone acting unusal. Ques-tion how much you are coloring the moment with a bias before taking action. Be willing to adapt your schedule to the moment. Tonight: Listen to your inner voice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Know that you can’t manipu-late someone to do what you want. It might look like you will succeed for a short period of time, but just wait for the rebellion that is likely to ensue. You’ll want to present a case for following your suggestion. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a stand, and know your

limits. Avoid getting into a con-test of wills. Let others be and do what they want. Let experi-ence be their teacher. A surprise heads your way. Tonight: Make sure you don’t find yourself standing under the mistletoe with someone who is bad news. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Forget about having a steady, scheduled day. The unexpected blows its winds in your direc-tion, no matter how hard you try to dodge it. Once you can identify with someone, you will understand his or her actions. Tonight: Someone might think that you are being aloof. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your strength comes from de-taching when the unexpected occurs around a loved one. Ini-tiate discussions on an individ-ual level. Someone will radiate once he or she is back on his or her feet. This person can’t seem to thank you enough. Tonight: Relax over dinner, then talk. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others continue to run with the ball, which allows you to have more time for last-min-

ute holiday details. You value tradition, so when a new idea or untried recipe comes your way, you might nix it. Newness adds excitement, though. Go for it! Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Recognize that you must deal with the more boring yet im-portant aspects of your life. Temptations will point to fun happenings, but say “no” for now. At the end of the day, you will feel great about what you have done. Tonight: Get some R and R -- you’re going to need it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might wonder why some-one always seems to trigger you. Decide to be impervious to this person’s actions. Maintain a sense of humor. This person simply expresses a mischievous quality every so often. Tonight: Find the mistletoe, then find the apple of your eye. BORN TODAY Painter Paul Klee (1879), film director Steven Spielberg (1946), actress Betty Grable (1916)

Dear Annie: I just finished watching a piece on the news about young people assaulting others and calling it a game. It seems they walk up to unsuspecting people and throw the hardest punch they can to the face in an effort to knock someone out. In one instance, a man was hit so hard, he fell face first to the curb and fractured his skull. He died, and the person who hit him was charged with manslaughter. The kids being interviewed were all laughing about it, as if it were some sort of party. They said it was a macho thing, to prove how tough or strong you are. The sad part is that they are raised as if their actions have no consequences. Par-ents, teach your children better before it’s too late. -- Worried Adult Dear Adult: It’s sad to see a world where children think assault is a sport, where the constant media barrage publicizes and glamorizes violence, and where these im-mature teens either don’t understand the consequences of their actions or think pris-on is simply another badge of toughness. We doubt they would find this activity so much “fun” if the victim were someone they cared about. We’ve forgotten how to be civilized to one another, nor do we value it. Parents not only need to teach compassion and responsi-bility to their children, but they have the added burden of combating the multiple pernicious influences around them. It’s hard to raise kids these days, and we commend those parents who manage to do it well. Dear Annie: I have a friend who often asks: “What’s happening?” But when I attempt to tell her, she rudely interrupts and says, “I don’t want to hear about it!” It doesn’t mat-ter what the subject is. She even interrupts for others, saying, “She doesn’t want to hear about it!” She also cuts me off mid-sentence and mockingly finishes my thoughts for me. Attempting to carry on a conversation with her is hurtful and exasperating, and I find her to be extremely rude. However, if the conversation centers on her, it can go on forever. Also, if she is trying to impress people, no matter how boring the conversation, she hangs on their every word. I have to deal with this “conversation bully” often. How am I supposed to handle her? -- Sharp Stick in the Ear Dear Sharp: You are already aware that your friend is self-centered and only inter-ested in conversation that is somehow ben-eficial to her. When she asks, “What’s hap-pening?” she doesn’t really want to know. It’s simply her way of saying hello. Here are your options: You can tell your friend how rude and upsetting this is and ask her to be more considerate; you can restrict your con-versation to topics that stroke her ego; you can find other friends. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Furious and Concerned,” whose physician cousin often treats and gives medication to family members. The Medical Board of California does not prohibit physicians from treating family members, but does require that any pre-scribing of medications (and giving samples is indeed prescribing) be accompanied by an appropriate history and physical exam-ination. It also requires that adequate med-ical records be kept of the treatment, the same as for any other patient. In California, the actions described would put that physi-cian at risk of losing his license for unprofes-sional conduct. I don’t know what state this cousin lives in, but “Furious” should advise her relatives to stop asking him for free medical care. We all receive such requests, and they are often difficult to refuse. She also could send the physician a copy of this reply, as he may be unaware that his actions are putting his li-cense at risk. -- Concerned MD in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

The Know It All

Christmas theatre; New Year’s Eve for families

The Kimberley Nordic Club offers a candlelight ski this New Year’s Eve.

Family First Night at Western Financial Place on New Year’s Eve, fun for the whole family.

Sleigh rides at Fort Steele every Sunday in December.

Hello Wendy:I would like to know

if I am with the right man for me. My feeling is that we are together because of our past karma and maybe I need to suck it up. I waiver between staying and leaving but I have feelings of guilt. I know it’s a useless feeling but I can’t help myself. Could you shed some light on this for me?

I’d also like to know if we will sell our house in the New Year. I be-lieve that all that hap-pens is for the greater good but when you are down it’s hard to see that.

Me Myself

Dear Me Myself:Yes, I agree that all

that happens in one’s life, though difficult as it may seem, is for the greater good for the self and those around them if the lessons are learned. If the lessons are not then one lives in unhappiness with the self and those around them are un-happy as well.

We don’t feel that you should just “suck it up”, as you say. This type of attitude breeds a fatalistic outcome of not learning what you need to learn. It also makes one sound like a victim in most cases.

We can’t tell you if you are with the right man for you — that is your decision to make. The reason why we can’t tell you this is be-cause we are not here to judge you; we are here to help you. How-ever, we can tell you that you are correct and you were together in past lives.

You did not have good past lives togeth-er; it’s something like this one in that you have trust issues with each other and there is definitely some jealou-sy that you have with each other as well. This jealousy which is partly fear that you have with each other then trans-fers into a power strug-gle of the who’s right and who’s wrong sce-nario. I asked my guide if you really want to leave your husband and he answered a definite no. Sometimes, when two people have karmic debt with each other, they learn the lessons and then the relationship breaks up;

and both parties are emotionally neutral and the karma is ended. However, if the energy is strong and

the two individuals are willing to learn and un-derstand their lessons then the relationship can become stronger and the individuals have a good, happy friendship and mate for as long as they are on this plane. The karma is then ended in this case as well on a happy note not to be repeated in the next lifetime be-tween the two persons. In your case, you have not had good past lives as I mentioned and one or the other ends up getting terribly hurt and feels unhappy life-time after lifetime. This means you torment each other lifetime after lifetime until you resolve the karma. So one of your learning lessons is that you are not really unhappy be-cause of your husband. You are unhappy inside of yourself because you are not doing and being who you really want to be. This loss of identity has nothing to do with your husband; it has to do with you feeling un-fulfilled. Of course, you know as well as I do that you need to do some work on yourself, but you procrastinate and you just don’t want to do what you need to do. To a degree as well, we feel that you do not have a plan on how you can go about helping yourself. This is neces-sary if you want to learn your lessons. Get a plan, get educated, change your attitude and the way you think when it comes to the relationship with your husband. If you need some help with this let me know and we can do a session together if you wish. Learn the les-sons and the result is freedom of the self and contentment within.

You will sell your house in the first part of 2014. We feel you need to do some extra work on the back end or side of the house if you want near or around the price you are asking.
