The neighbour who found a badly injured Kimberley couple after they were attacked by a grizzly bear Sunday says the pair saved themselves. Well-known conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts Peter Moody and Susan Bond are in stable condition in a Calgary hospital after a grizzly sow mauled them in defence on November 25. The couple was walking along Cherry Creek off LD Ranch Road east of Kimberley on Sunday afternoon when they stumbled upon a grizzly sow and cubs feeding on a deer, according to conservation officers. The COs told the Kimberley Daily Bulletin on Monday that Susan yelled at the bears and began to run. Startled, the sow attacked Susan. Peter began beating the bear with a walking stick, which caused the bear to attack him. Eventually the bears moved away, and the couple were able to get up and started walking to get help. Randy Harvey, his wife Bonnie and friend Allan Hunter were sitting down to watch the Grey Cup about 2:20 p.m. on Sun-

Local dignitaries, agency workers and members of the public gathered to officially launch the East Kootenay branch of Friends of Children on Monday, November 26.

new to the agency. “As soon as I turned my phone on, I got the first call within five minutes,” said coordinator Pat Chisholm. “It’s rewarding to know we are able to support families in whatever way is helpful to them,” she went on. “It isn’t always financial – often it’s an ear to listen.” Chisholm shared the story of Kimberley resident Keri Rinehart, whose son was born premature five years ago and needs regular visits to Calgary for care. When Keri’s son was born, the family wasn’t sure they would be able to return to the East Kootenay, and they knew their financial situation would be dramatically different. “When you have a sick child, you’ve got enough on your plate. Having Friends of Children here gives families one less thing to worry about,” Rinehart’s story read. Gail Brown, a director of the Friends of Children board, said having an office here will increase the agency’s profile. “We will be able to reach more families and more easily help people understand why they should contribute to Friends of Children,” said Brown. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said the agency was a good addition to the new Kootenay Child Development Centre and congratulated Gail Brown on making it happen. “This has been something Gail has worked at for quite a few years. It’s a lot of
work to take on. It’s quite a success story. You should be really proud of yourself,” said Bennett. Mayor Wayne Stetski welcomed Friends of Children to a physical location in Cranbrook. “There is nothing like having a local face and a local presence and providing a friendly face you can go to for advice and the help you need,” said Stetski. Monday was also an opportunity for the Bootleg Sled Dog Society – which held sled dog races in Marysville for four years – to make a generous donation to Friends of Children. Over the years, the Sled Dog Society has given $60,000 to Friends of Children, raised through the annual event. But in February 2012 the races had to be called off because there wasn’t enough snow on the track. Teck had pledged $3,000 and Kimberley Alpine Resort had pledged $1,500 to the event, said event organizer Brenda Birrell. “Even though the races were cancelled, they very generously and graciously turned over their donation to Friends of Children,” said Birrell. This helped the society make a $10,000 donation to Friends of Children at the November 26 event. If you have a child in medical need and have to travel out of the region for health care, Friends of Children can help both financially and emotionally. For more information, phone Pat Chisholm at 250-420-1759.

Every year, the Kimberley Dynamiters host the Helping Hands Food Bank for a home game, and every year Kimberley residents respond with generosity. This year was the best yet, says Food Bank Director Malcolm Fruin, with Kimberley hockey fans bringing in food and cash donations of $2800. “That easily surpasses last year,” Fruin said. “Total net proceeds from the sold out fall draw were $4800 bringing the total event proceeds to $7600, which will be of great help for the annual Food Bank Christmas hamper program.” The draw winners were announced at the hockey game.

ANKORS is taking part in a pilot program to save people from opioid overdoses. The Kootenays outreach society is making opioid antagonist drug Naloxone available to people who use illicit opioid drugs. In southeast B.C., people are dying from prescription opioid overdoses – pain medication such as codeine and morphine – at the same rate they are dying in drunk-driving accidents, according to Interior Health. But in the States, where there are 180 community based programs, 10,000 opioid overdoses have been reversed by Naloxone. The drug, which was administered by the BC Ambulance Service 2,367 times in 2011, quickly reverses life-threatening respiratory depression of opioids to restore breathing, usually in 2-5 minutes.
“This is a very simple thing to offer,” said Cheryl Dowden, executive director of ANKORS. “Naloxone has less side effects than an epipen.” It can be injected into a vein, muscle or under the skin and can be given through clothing. Naloxone doesn’t get a person high, and it has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system. Through the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, a pilot program is making Naloxone available for people who use illicit opioids, including drugs like morphine, codeine and oxycodone, as well as heroin. Last week, ANKORS received 60 take-home kits to give out to illicit drug users in the West Kootenay. “Our intention is to make sure this has further reach, including the East Kootenay. But we are just starting,” said Dowden. Naloxone can only be prescribed to a named person, so ANKORS is referring opioid users to a Castlegar physician and nurse practitioner. The person is given overdose and Naloxone training, then they see the physician for a prescription.
“We are hoping that eventually we will have more physicians on board to prescribe Naloxone, and hopefully in the East Kootenay as well,” said Dowden. Giving Naloxone out to drug users is important because people are sometimes afraid of legal implications if they call 911. “Part of the work we are doing is trying to suppress people’s fears around police involvement,” said Dowden. She hopes that one day, doctors will prescribe Naloxone whenever they prescribe opioids. “Our hope is that eventually, Naloxone will have further reach, so that if somebody is prescribed a pain medication by a doctor, they will also be prescribed a companion prescription for Naloxone.” In the meantime, getting those 60 kits out to opioid users in the West Kootenay will have a positive effect. “This has huge potential to save lives,” said Dowden. “The majority of overdoses take place with another person present. If people have the information and they have Naloxone, it’s kind of a no-brainer that this could save lives.”

Local involvement essential Local involvement ensures public interest is served NORM MACDONALD MLA Columbia River Revelstoke
One of the biggest issues that I am hearing about this week is the need for local involvement in decision making on the land base. There have been a number of decisions made recently by government where local people have felt that they were either not consulted or their expressed views were ignored. But this is not a particularly recent turn of events. Over the last 11 years, many specific leg-
that this government has taken you out of the decision-making process. And we’ve seen that the quality of decisions being made has been lessened as local wisdom has been ignored. I believe that we need to build resiliency in rural communities and that means that local residents must have a say on how our land base is used. I believe that those who rely on the land base for employment, recreation and the protection of environmental values will make the best decisions. And that local involvement ensures that the public interest is always at the forefront of policy decisions, something that has been lacking for too long in British Columbia.
islative steps have been taken to remove previous requirements for local participation in decision making. In 2003, the BC Liberals passed legislation called the Significant Projects Streamlining Act which allows projects to be designated as provincially significant and thus override local jurisdiction which Norm Macdonald might hamper development.

Susan had fallen into the creek as they were fleeing, so her feet were wet and cold. While they waited for the

If you’re involved in community service, your spouse has to take up the extra slack at home. “This is the Queen’s medal, honouring 60 years, and as staunch royalist, I’m very proud to receive it. On a personal note, next week Rose will have put up with me for 60 years.”
ambulance to arrive, Bonnie comforted Susan and Peter. “We got her boots off and her socks off and tried to warm her up,” said Randy. “We kept talking to them, trying to keep them awake. Bonnie kept holding her hand and talking to her.” Soon paramedics arrived and took Susan and Peter to Cranbrook. They were rushed to Calgary later Sunday. Randy said he was struck by the couple’s concern for one another. “All he was concerned about was Susan. Then when I got her in the truck, all she was saying was, ‘Peter, Peter.’” Amazed that they were able to walk when they were so badly injured, Randy added that he wasn’t responsible for saving them. “Everybody keeps calling me
a hero,” he said. “They saved themselves totally.” Conservation officers visited the scene of the attack and determined it was a grizzly with at least one cub, although Peter originally thought it was a black bear with two cubs. The bears have not returned to the area since the attack, and COs have decided not to track them because the sow was exhibiting normal behaviour, defending a kill and her cubs. However, caution is urged for anyone travelling in the wooded portions of the Cherry Creek/Meadowbrook area. Anyone who sees a sow grizzly with one or two cubs in the area is asked to call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877952-7277.

Drunk driving deaths down for second year Stats show new, tougher penalties have effect By Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s toughened roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. That’s based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year. Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. “As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fatalities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired
driving victim Alexa Middelaer. The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penalties and remedial program costs. The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecution of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time. A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05. Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and drive. The tests found no drivers aged 16 to 18 who had been drinking, which is thought to be a benefit of B.C.’s graduated licensing system that restricts novice and learners to a zero blood alcohol content.

More elephants among us I’ve written several times about the elephant as a symbol for Cranbrook — and not just because of that Cranbrook Ed business so long ago. Here I go again. Indeed, there’s something about the elephant’s character and ponderous strength that we claim as our own. The City of Cranbrook chose the eagle as its symbol — sort of — after a rebranding exercise a few years ago. But I’ve always felt the elephant should be our unofficial totem. Well, the spirit pachyderm is back, and this time it’s stomping around the whole East Kootenay. What on earth do I mean? Jumbo, that’s what I mean. I would hazard a guess that not many people are aware that that mountainous massif and glacier near Invermere, the subject of so much talk, is named after an elephant. The greatest elephant of them all. The world’s most famous elephant. Jumbo the Circus Elephant (1861 ‒ 1885) was an African elephant who after an early career as a zoo elephant was sold in 1881 to P. T. Barnum’s Barnum & Bailey Circus (“The Greatest Show On Earth”). Jumbo was huge — his height is estimated as between 3.25 metres and four metres. Thus his name has spawned the common word “jumbo”, meaning large in size. Jumbo died in Canada at St. Thomas, Ontario, where he was hit and fatally wounded by a locomotive. Barnum afterwards said that Jumbo died saving a young circus elephant, Tom Thumb, from being
hit by the locomotive, but other witnesses did not support this. We can choose to believe whichever story we prefer. So now, we have this elephantine word “Jumbo” in our lexicon, and this elephantine presence in our region — the glacier near Invermere and the proposed year-round ski resort at that same location. What’s with all these elephants? Can Jumbo the cirBarry cus elephant be adopted as sort of symbol for the Coulter some glacier and proposed resort, much as Cranbrook Ed personifies Cranbrook (as I choose to believe it does)? Let’s compare. Jumbo the circus elephant’s colour was grey. Jumbo the glacier’s colour is white, or so it is hoped — white with snow for skiers to enjoy all year round at the proposed resort. After Jumbo the circus elephant’s death, many metallic objects were found in his stomach, including pennies, nickels and dimes. Thus Jumbo the circus elephant had money poured down his throat, so to speak, veritable handfuls of change. Jumbo the proposed resort too will have money poured down its throat, so to speak — an estimated development cost of $450 million — veritable handfuls of change. Jumbo the circus elephant died young, suddenly and heroically (depending on which story you choose to believe). Jumbo the glacier is old, and is melting slowly and incrementally, without fanfare, like many glaciers. Jumbo the proposed resort has been hanging on to life by its fingernails,
WIKIPEDIA
Could anything named Jumbo ever be bigger than the famous elephant of the same name? Oh yes!
for years and years and years and years and years. Jumbo the circus elephant was too big to fit in a room. Jumbo the glacier and Jumbo the proposed resort likewise. “An elephant in the room” means an “obvious truth that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. The expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.” Well, everyone talked about Jumbo the circus elephant. And we’ve been talking about the other Jumbos for years and years and years and years and years. In time we may forget about Jumbo the circus elephant, but it strikes me we’ll keep talking about the other Jumbos until we go the way of the mammoth.

Gathering moss Average age of Rolling Stones members beats US Supreme Court justices Associated Press
NEW YORK — The U.S. Supreme Court used to be called Nine Old Men. That’s nothing compared to the ageless Rolling Stones. The justices on average are the kid brothers and sisters of the forever young rock n’ rollers. The average age for the four living members of The Rolling Stones is about two years older than the nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have an average age of 68 years and 297 days, while the Supreme Court justices’ average is 66 years and 364 days. That makes the rock band one year and 10 months older than the members of
the highest court of the United States. The Rolling Stones are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year with a five-date tour in New York, New Jersey and London, where the first show kicked off Sunday night.

V Men’s Avalanche struggle against tough opposition 250.426.5201
TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The men’s Avs were in tough during their recent road trip to Vancouver Island, dropping four straight games to Vancouver Island University and Camosun College. Like the women, the men showed signs of fatigue in their first match last Thursday against VIU, before sharping up their game in a rematch the following day.
“All weekend, we just couldn’t seem to find our game. It’s always tough when you travel on the road and especially that far out the Island—I don’t want to use that as an excuse, but we just didn’t have the energy...” Steve Kamps The Avs picked it up against Camosun, but the Chargers is a very hot team that is in the top 10 national CCAA rankings, according to men’s head coach Steve Kamps. “All weekend, we just couldn’t seem to find our game,” Kamps said. “It’s always tough when you travel on the road and especially that far out to the Island—I don’t want to use that as an excuse, but we

just didn’t have the energy, especially the first night against VIU.” Despite the fatigue, the Avs took a set on Thursday against the Mariners, before getting blanked 3-0 on Friday. The matches against the Chargers were tighter, but the Avs fell 3-0 on Saturday and 3-1 on Sunday. “We met a red hot team that couldn’t do anything wrong, a very balanced team and there’s a reason why they’re ranked number seven in Canada—a very talented squad,” said Kamps. “Even if we were playing as good as we could, I don’t think we were going to beat them that day.” Sunday’s match was the best performance of the weekend, as the Avs took away a set and left everything on the court, Kamps added. “The guys put everything on the floor and we rebounded and had a very, very strong performance, unfortunately, we came up just short in four sets,” Kamps said, “but I think another day, when that’s not the fourth game in four days, and maybe in our gym as well, I think we win that one. “Overall, I think it was a good way to finish the road trip and it left a better taste in our mouths in the sense that we played well and performed well.”
Top defenceman out for world junior championship COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ryan Murray is expected to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, delivering a blow to Canada’s world junior team. The 19-year-old Everett Silvertips captain suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder after taking a hit while playing Victoria on Nov. 16. On Tuesday, it was revealed the injury will require surgery that will sideline Murray for six months. The defenceman was the second overall pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this year and was expected to challenge for a spot on the NHL team as soon as the lockout ended. He had two goals and 17 points in 23 games for the Silvertips this season. Murray represented Canada at last year’s world junior championship and would likely have been a key member of the team that competes in Ufa, Russia next month. Canadian Press

Nitros hold off Creston for 3-2 win TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Bryce Halverson made 45 saves to lead the Kimberley Dynamiters to a tense 3-2 win over the visiting Creston Valley Thunder Cats at the Civic Centre on Tuesday night. Kimberley had a 3-1 lead until the final minute of the game, when the T-Cats scored with 57 seconds left to make it a close finish. “It was a little nervous at the end there, just the last few seconds was a little scramble around the net, but we just got the puck out and cleared it from the net and it worked out,” said defenceman Isaac Schacher. Tyson Klingspohn, Eric Buckley and Matt
Gann scored for the Dynamiters, while Trevor Hanna and Jaiden Ward responded for the T-Cats. Creston avoided penalties in the sin bin, while failing to convert on four power play opportunities. Zach Straza, who manned the crease for the Thunder Cats, allowed three goals in 29 shots. The Nitros got things going four minutes into the game, when Klingspohn picked up a loose puck at the side of the net and put it in to open the scoring. Kimberley doubled the lead at the halfway mark of the period, when Buckley poked the puck across the line on a rebound.
Creston answered late in the frame when Trevor Hanna cut in from the wing, walking around a Nitro defenceman, and waiting out Halverson before stuffing the puck home. The Dynamiters also kept the lead when Halverson denied Brady Ward on a breakaway. “I thought Bryce held in there strong tonight,” said Jordan Foreman, who is stepping up as interim head coach following the resignation of bench boss Roman Vopat. “Obviously he faced a lot of shots, I think they were close to 50, 20 alone in the first period, and the first period is when you need to build some momentum and he held us
in there.” However, the Nitros regained a two-goal lead with five minutes to go in the second period, when Gann slapped a shot from the point that deflected a few times on its way to the back of the net. Kimberley nearly had a bigger lead, as Taylor McDowell rang a shot off the post from the slot earlier in the frame. It all came down to a tense final minute in the third period, as Jaiden Ward put a sharp angle shot into the net with a screen in front of Halverson. Kimberley has also added two new defencemen in Tre Mason and Andrew Miller to the roster. Mason, 18,
was picked up from the North Okanagan Knights, while Miller— also 18—comes via the Osoyoos Coyotes. “Both those additions are going to be a big part of our team,” said Foreman. Mason had an immediate impact, literally speaking, as he absolutely levelled T-Cats forward Tyler Akeroyd in an open ice hit in the third period. “He’s a great puck moving defenceman, likes to throw the body around as I’m sure everybody saw in that one hit,” said Foreman. The Nitros have pulled within two points of catching up to the Fernie Ghostriders, who lead the Eddie Mountain Division.
Toronto FC revamps management, hires new president NEIL DAVIDSON Canadian Press
TORONTO - Toronto FC has taken its first big first step in restructuring after another disappointing season. The Canadian Press has learned that former D.C. United president and CEO Kevin Payne is joining the underachieving club. An announcement is expected
Wednesday. Payne, 59, has been the Washington D.C. club’s top executive since its formation in 1996. He has also served as its general manager. A major restructuring move was expected by Toronto FC, which is looking to revamp after the latest in a series of poor seasons. On Monday, during
his annual state of the league conference call, MLS commissioner Don Garber said the struggling Toronto franchise was planning some “bold moves.” And Tom Anselmi, president and COO of TFC owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has said a full review of the club and its structure was planned after the
franchise’s latest dismal season. Also Tuesday, the club announced that designated player Eric Hassli will return next season after the club picked up the option on his contract for 2013. The 31-year-old French striker was obtained in a trade with the Vancouver Whitecaps on July 2, but injuries limited him to
seven league games. He scored three goals for Toronto over that span. Toronto (5-21-8) missed the playoffs for the sixth straight year since joining the league in 2007. This season, the club posted franchise worsts for wins (five), losses (21), points (23), goals against (62) and winless streak (14).

Sports Argos host rare victory parade for Toronto sports fans Lori E wing Canadian Press
TORONTO - Chad Owens danced onstage with his young son while Jalil Carter rode shirtless in the back of a pickup truck sipping from a Tim Hortons cup, and Adriano Belli planted a smooch on Toronto’s embattled mayor. Cornerback Evan McCollough arrived late, running to catch up to the parade at Yonge Street. The Argonauts and their fans celebrated a rare treat Tuesday - a championship party in their own backyard. And all the crazy antics culminated with the common refrain of “Repeat!” from a CFL team and its fans that could certainly get used to winning. “All the ups, the downs, the stretches we went through, when we lost five out of six games, just knowing that we stuck together, persevered through and never lost sight of our dream and our goal and we made it through,” said Owens, the wide receiver who won the league’s Most Outstanding Player award this season.
“It’s so special. The 100th Grey Cup. In our city. Never going to forget that.” The Argonauts paraded the venerable trophy through downtown Toronto, arriving at Nathan Phillips Square to a festive lunchtime crowd of several thousand to celebrate Sunday’s 35-22 victory over the Calgary Stampeders in the 100th Grey Cup. Fans - clad in jerseys and tuques in the Argos’ double blue - lined the streets and packed into the square, bouncing up and down top the blaring pop music. Some blew on horns, others waved Argos flags or white towels in celebration of the team’s first championship since 2004. “This is awesome,” said quarterback Ricky Ray. “It feels like a oncein-a-lifetime experience. Not everybody gets to win the Grey Cup, and experience what we got to today, and just to come here and share it with our fans is awesome.” The fans and players came ready to party.

Canada’s largest sports market has been
its most underachieving. Baseball’s Blue Jays haven’t won a championship since 1993, hockey’s Maple Leafs have been shut out since 1967 and basketball’s Raptors and soccer’s Toronto FC haven’t even come close. “This is what you work for, this is what these guys put all their hours in for, and to have it in your own city, it doesn’t get any better than that,” said rookie head coach Scott Mila-
novich. “It’s been awesome, we’ve felt the love all week, we could kind of feel the city turning and seeing the people wearing Argos gear outside and the chants going on downtown, it’s been fun and hopefully that’s going to carry over to next year.” The Argonauts seemed destined to break Toronto’s sports curse since the beginning of the CFL season when they acquired Ray
Stamps QB Glenn believes team can return to glory L aurence Heinen Canadian Press
CALGARY - Kevin Glenn would like nothing more than to have another shot at winning a Grey Cup. Whether that’s with the Calgary Stampeders or not remains to be seen, but the 12-year Canadian Football League veteran believes that he still has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the CFL. “I would be lying if I didn’t say that I think that I’m a starting quarterback in this league,” Glenn said. “I think I am. If you’re a quarterback and you don’t think that, then something’s wrong.” Just two days after the Stampeders lost 35-22 to the host Toronto Argonauts in the 100th Grey Cup, Glenn spoke the media at McMahon Stadium for the final time this season. “It’s been tough, just going back and trying to figure out where it went wrong and how come we’re not celebrating as Grey Cup champs right now,” Glenn said.
“You’ve got to give Toronto credit and they were better than us on that day. We couldn’t get into a rhythm. When we did put drives together, we came out with three points instead of seven.” With Drew Tate out of the lineup with a fractured bone in his right arm, Glenn guided the Stamps to a 34-29 road win over the defending Grey Cup champion B.C. Lions in the West final on Nov. 18. “If Kevin wasn’t here, you never know how the season would have went,” said receiver Marquay McDaniel, who was also Glenn’s teammate in Hamilton. “It’s good to have that veteran guy who’s been playing for a long time with a lot of experience. You definitely need it because you never know what could happen.” After throwing three touchdown passes against the Lions, Glenn couldn’t duplicate that feat on the CFL’s biggest stage against the Argos. “I don’t think that
takes anything away from the season that we had and us getting to that point,” said Glenn, who completed 14-of27 passes for 222 yards, no touchdowns and one interception against the Argos. “We’ve just got to come back stronger, tougher and fight for it again next year.” Still under contract with the Stamps, Glenn said he’s expecting to return to Calgary next season. “At this point, I leave as a Calgary Stampeder and hopefully come back as a Calgary Stampeder,” he said. “If not, then that’s just the way the business rolls.” Calgary head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is also counting on Glenn to be back in the fold next year. “Right now, he’s under contract to come back and I expect Kevin to be at training camp,” Hufnagel said. “A lot of things can happen, but I have no preconceived thoughts of him being anywhere else except a Stampeder.”
in a blockbuster trade with the Edmonton Eskimos, announcing they were serious about playing for the Cup in their hometown. “When you take a job, you’ve got two or three years to do it or they fire you,” said general manager Jim Barker. “We were fortunate, things fell our way, we were able to make some deals, we were able to sign some players. . .things just kind of fell into place. “Now we can take off and move forward. It’s like this is the beginning, it really is.” The players danced onto the Nathan Phillips Square stage one by one - Owens, preceded by his nine-year-old son Chad Jr. The crowd exploded when defensive captain Jordan Younger hoisted the Grey Cup aloft. Mayor Rob Ford, wearing an Argos jersey with No. 1 on the front, didn’t get nearly as much love, despite declaring it “Toronto Argonauts Day.” “This is what you call a dream come true folks. We said they could do it and they did it,” said

Calgary Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn reacts in the locker room after losing to the Toronto Argonauts in the 100th CFL Grey Cup on Sunday. Tate also has no qualms with Glenn returning next season. “I hope he is back,” said Tate, who missed the majority of the regular season after dislocating his left shoulder during the second game of the season in Toronto against the Argos. “I
hope everyone on this team is back. “It would make us pretty tough, because we’ve got a lot of good guys on this team and a lot of them are really young too. I don’t think the white horse is too worried about anything really.”
Ford, who was greeted with a mix of boos and cheers one day after a judge ordered him removed from office in 14 days on conflict on interest charges. Ford got a better response when defensive tackle Adriano Belli known as the “Kissing Bandit” - grabbed him around the neck to plant a kiss on his cheek. A fleet of 28 pickup trucks and one convertible carried quarterback Ray, running back and Grey Cup MVP Chad Kackert, Owens, and the rest of the players of their families - and, of course, the Grey Cup itself - along the parade route. “I can’t cry again, I’m starting to become that guy,” said defensive end Ricky Foley, a native of nearby Courtice, Ont., who was named the Grey Cup’s most valuable Canadian. “There were a lot of Argos jerseys out there a lot of double blue - but there was guys in business suits and people in cabs, and people from all walks of life celebrating what we did for this city and what they helped us accomplish.”
NEW YORK - Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa are set to show up on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, and fans will soon find out whether drug allegations block the former stars from reaching baseball’s shrine. The ballot will be announced Wednesday. Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and Curt Schilling are certain to be among the other first-time eligibles. Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines are the top holdover candidates. Longtime members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America will vote through next month. The much-awaited results will be announced Jan. 9, with players needing to be listed on 75 per cent of the ballots to gain induction. The upcoming election is certain to fuel the most polarizing Hall debate since career hits
leader Pete Rose’s betting problems put him on baseball’s permanently ineligible list, barring him from the BBWAA ballot. Bonds, Clemens and Sosa each posted some of the biggest numbers in the game’s history, but were all tainted by accusations that they used performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds is baseball’s all-time home runs leader with 762 and won a record seven MVP awards. Clemens ranks ninth in career wins with 354 and took home a record seven Cy Young Awards. Sosa is eighth on the home run chart with 609. If recent voting for the Hall is any indication, the odds are solidly stacked against Bonds, Clemens and Sosa. Mark McGwire is 10th on the career home run list with 583, but has never received even 24 per cent in his six tries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected occurs, like it or not. You might feel as if you can’t make a situation conform to your expectations -- or anyone else’s, for that matter. Stop attempting to handle this issue, and just let it flow naturally. Tonight: Make calls before deciding. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If ever there was a time not to make a money commitment, it is today. Use care, even when counting your change. If you feel as though you are fiscally careless in some area, decide to change that pattern -- if not immediately, then in the very near future. Tonight: A lucky turn of events. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening right now; however, know that you might be the linchpin in this case. Though at first you might not be able to get a grasp on the situation, you will, and faster than you think. Tonight: Enjoy
the roller-coaster ride. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Full Moons greatly affect you, as your planetary ruler is the Moon. This particular Full Moon is an eclipse, which promises changes in the next few months with a child or a relationship. The outcome could be very good. Go with the flow, and take it easy. Tonight: Listen well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Something that you want might fall into your lap in a most secretive manner ... perhaps not today, but in the near future. A friend could complicate your life. It is up to you whether you will make a fuss about it or just let it go. Remain focused on a different matter in the meantime. Tonight: Celebrate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide to loosen up rather than fight city hall. A boss could be demanding, which might cause a conflict for you with someone who has other plans. At the moment, you are seeing the situation as black and white. Try to find a way in which both demands can be met. Tonight: A

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and you’ll accomplish a lot more than you thought possible. Understand that you might need to cut someone off or ignore a situation altogether in order to do this. Avoid getting involved in others’ issues; use this day for you. Tonight: Get some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see a situation differently from others. You often come up with some far-fetched ideas, and this is yet another example. Your drive and energy help you turn an important idea into reality. Friendship will prevail, even if a quarrel begins. Tonight: Spend time with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay anchored, know what is happening and make choices accordingly. You could be a little off-kilter because of what someone does. Understand that you do not need to put yourself in the line of fire; instead, you can withdraw and refuse to take part in this person’s scenario. Tonight: Happiest at home.

must appearance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The unexpected marks a situation. You might be trying to hold on to something that really isn’t doable at the moment. Let it go. News from a distance might impress you, or at least make you smile. Know that you are heading in the right direction. Tonight: Act on an idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be seeing a lot of back-and-forth in several of your more substantial friendships. Know that there is very little you can do to change this. Remain true to yourself, yet be willing to discuss a financial matter with a key person. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Having to juggle mixed energy, incoming requests and some irrational behavior could throw anyone off. Remain focused on what’s most important, and you will weather the storm. Stay on top of these hassles and allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a woman who follows a strict diet. It has nothing to do with weight or any medical condition. I don’t care about calories. It’s about eating organic, and there are a lot of things I do not tolerate, such as corn syrup, food coloring, table sugar, unfiltered water, etc. If I do not approve of a treat someone has made, is it appropriate to politely decline to accept it? On occasions where I’m given something I don’t have to eat in front of them, I graciously accept it and then give it away later. What if I’m on a date and the guy wants to take me where I wouldn’t ordinarily eat? Should I insist on sticking to my diet? I can handle a few splurges here and there, but how do I avoid constantly eating junk without being rude or weird? I live in a rural area, so there are not many restaurant choices. -- Upstate Dieter Dear Dieter: If someone offers you food that you prefer not to eat, don’t feel obligated to stick it in your mouth. Say “thank you” and put it aside, or if you are feeling expansive, explain that you have difficulty tolerating certain foods. When out on a date, you will need to be flexible if your choices are limited. Most restaurants have options that, while not ideal, are tolerable on occasion -- plain baked chicken or fish, for example. On subsequent dates, when you know each other better, let the guy know that you only eat organic. Then offer to cook him dinner. Dear Annie: My mom is in her 60s and has been both divorced and widowed. She would love to find someone to spend time with, and we want her to be happy. The problem is, Mom has devoted herself to this “man search” to the point that nothing else is important. When she meets a man, she becomes totally absorbed in him. When we ask her to do things with her grandchildren, she replies, “I don’t know. I might get a better offer.” When we invite her to the kids’ events, she says, “I’m not sure. I am hoping someone will ask me out.” Now we don’t call as much because it hurts to know we’re second best to any guy she just met. Mom is often lonely because she waits by the phone for “him” instead of doing things with other people. We wish she would also remember to make time for the family who loves her and the friends who want to spend time with her. Instead, she neglects us for any man who pops into her life. What can we do? -- Never the Better Offer Dear Never: There’s not much you can do if your mother insists on behaving like an adolescent girl. Try to accept this behavior as best you can. It isn’t intended to hurt you. Mom’s self-worth is tied to having a man in her life, and without one, she doesn’t feel she has value. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Wondering,” whose daughter-in-law has an overly close relationship with her 20-year-old son. My son was 4 years old when his father and I divorced. A few years later, his dad left his life for good. My son has struggled throughout his years with social anxiety and many other mental issues, and we have been to counseling. He is also abnormally close to me and doesn’t like to leave my side. Now that he is a teenager, people comment that it is not normal and he should be out with his friends. It is very easy for people to judge without knowing what it’s like to have a child who struggles with life. I do agree with your answer, though, that the family needs ongoing counseling. -- SFIP Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Edward Sawicki July 10, 1931 November 22, 2012 Ed Sawicki passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 22, 2012 in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 81 years. Ed was born to Felix and Mary Sawicki in Willow Creek, Saskatchewan and raised in Melfort, Saskatchewan. His life was a celebration of hard work and dedication to his wife, family and friends. Ed will be greatly missed but his life will be remembered by his love and joy of life. Ed found great happiness playing cards for hours with friends and family and always enjoyed a good joke. He was an avid handy man and was never without many projects or dreams of what he was going to build next. When the latest project was complete he was always very proud and loved showing off his handy work. Ed looked forward to his annual hunting trips with the boys, where lots of laughs and memories were created. Ed worked for Canada Post for 24 years, with his last posting being Kimberley, BC when he retired in 1990. After retirement, Ed enjoyed travelling and was particularly fond of travelling to Alaska in the spring to enjoy the new blossoms and the beautiful scenery that came with it. Ed is predeceased by his father Felix Sawicki; mother Mary Sawicki; his sister Emelia (George) Penkala; his brother Joeseph (Adeline) Sawicki; his sister Anna (John) Zembik; his brother Anton (Jean) Sawicki; his sister Antonina Sawicki; and survived by his wife of 54 years Lyla Sawicki; his sister Gyna (Jean) Falck; children Calvin (Theckla) Sawicki, Brenda Gillespie and Cheryl (Chris Bakke) Evans; grandchildren Takara (Patrick) Mohnssen; James (Tabitha Romano) Hopkins; Carey Gillespie; great grandchildren Conner; Kian and Ailish, Mohnssen. The family wishes to thank the Dialysis Department of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, as well as a special thank you to Dr. Pieterese for the kindness and care he provided to Ed and his family. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Kimberley on Friday, November 30, 2012 at 11:00 am. He will be Interred in the Kimberley Cemetery Columbarium. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Good attitude, that is! You hold an accounting designation (or very close to it or equivalent experience), but your friends and coworkers don’t really think of you as an “accountant�. You know your numbers instinctively, but are keenly interested in being a part of the business’ operations. You always take personal pride in the quality of the information you produce and you can effectively keep many balls in the air at one time in a busy, multi-organization entity. Those are the critical success factors for the Group Controller that will join our team – along with a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself. You are an accountant, after all. We are a group of companies located in the Invermere area that includes Windermere Water & Sewer, Parr Utilities Ltd. and Point Developments. We are involved in everything from water and sewer utilities to residential and commercial land development and every day puts a different challenge on the desk. Your attention to detail and passion for doing things right the first time is what differentiates you from others. In addition, you will be fluent in a fully computerized environment, willing to dive into research whenever required and be knowledgeable of and up to date on current financial reporting standards in a private company environment. If you’re interested in being part of our team, please get that resume into our hands. This is a permanent part-time role with significant flexibility, but requires a commitment to meeting the deadlines related to our businesses. hr@windermerewater.com

SERVICES GUIDE Contact these business for all your service needs!
Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.
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.
Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand
extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,� “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,� and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.� At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America
