Won’t BacK DoWn: Ktunaxa Nation Council member Margaret Teneese marches with between 300 and 400 people down 10th Ave S in Cranbrook on November 30. The Ktunaxa Nation made their voice loud and clear that they will continue to protect Qat’muk, the home of the Grizzly Bear Spirit. The nation was joined by hundreds who marched from Ktunaxa Nation government headquarters to Rotary Park to say they will stand their ground in opposition to Jumbo.

It has been the best of years in many ways for the Friends of Burma, even while changes in Canada’s refugee policy cause worries.
The group, which sponsors refugees from Burma (Myan-mar) and the refugee camps along the Thailand Burma border to Canada, had the joy of seeing a family reunited this year.
In July, Thaw Thi, who settled in Kimberley with wife August Paw and daughter Hser Dri Htoo five years ago, saw his extended family arrive in Kimberley.
Ktunaxa say no to Jumbo
ResortANNALEE gr ANTTownsman Staff
Hundreds of Jumbo Gla-cier Resort opponents led by the Ktunaxa Nation paraded down the streets of Cran-brook on Friday afternoon, vowing to keep the contro-versial project from happen-ing.
It was an atmosphere filled with singing, laughter and celebration of a com-munity coming together for a common cause – saving the area the Ktunaxa calls Qat’muk from development. Estimates put the crowd at between 300 and 400 peo-ple. The rally was the second of two events related to
Jumbo happening in the province on Friday. In Van-couver, a group of Ktunaxa Nation members including chair Kathryn Teneese and elders filed an application for judicial review.
For Ktunaxa, Qat’muk is where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world. Ktunaxa rely on the continuation of traditional spiritual and religious prac-tices, and the Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indis-pensable source of collective as well as individual guid-ance, strength, and protec-tion.

Ba r ry Co u lt e rA great Cranbrook
citizen was feted Thurs-day.
A celebration was held at the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce board-room Thursday eve-ning, Nov. 29, to honour Elmer Higgins, on the anniversary of his regis-tration as a professional engineer.
Family, friends and colleagues turned out to the event, which fea-tured a special presen-tation.
Kelly Beriault, an as-sociate of Higgins, opened the event, men-tioning that it was 46 years ago on the same date, Nov. 29, 1966, that Elmer Higgins became a registered profession-al engineer in British Columbia. She talked about the significant contributions Higgins has made over the years to Cranbrook, being in-volved in the design, construction or renova-tion of more than 100
projects in the commu-nity.
Beriault made one of two presentations to Higgins — a Tim Hor-tons gift card. She then introduced Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett for the second presen-tation.
Bennett elaborated on Higgins’ community involvement. Signifi-
cant recent projects, for example, include the hospital expansion, the Cranbrook arches and the new Cranbrook Public Library. Bennett also mentioned Hig-gins’ humanitarian work — getting person-ally involved to help families in need, for ex-ample — and fine woodcarving. He said the Higgins is often of-fered money for his woodcarving pieces,
but directs the purchas-er to give the money to the hospital founda-tion.
Bennett then made the second presenta-tion of the evening, on behalf of Queen Eliza-beth II, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and B.C. Premier Christy Clark — the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
The Queen’s Dia-mond Jubilee Medal is
a medal created to mark the 60th anniver-sary of the accession to the throne of Queen Elizabeth II. The Cana-dian medal is to “hon-our significant contri-butions and achieve-ments by Canadians.”
Bennett pinned the medal on Higgins’ chest, and Higgins then spoke a few words to those in attendence.
“When I reached normal retirement age, I was too young for cards, or golf,” he said. So he took up wood-working, journeying to England more than once to take master classes. One of his first projects was an elabo-rate grandfather clock, which won first prize in a Windsor plywood na-tional woodworking contest.
Higgins said the clock was now worth about $25,000. “If I’d taken up golf instead, all I’d have had were score cards.”
Higgins told another story of getting then So-cial Credit cabinet min-ister Grace McCarthy to sign off on a proposed insulation plant in Grand Forks — a $6 million project on which Higgins was en-gineer. Higgins talked the local party associa-tion, of which he was a member, into letting him pick up McCarthy from the airport during a visit to the East Koote-nay. On the drive into Cranbrook, Higgins said he persuaded Mc-Carthy that the plant was a good idea for the government to endorse.
The plant has oper-ated continously for 23 years.

Community Choir invites you to sing along
C AROLYN GR [email protected]
They’ve been rehearsing all fall, and the Kimberley Community Choir is in fine form for the Christmas sea-son.
If you enjoy Christmas carols, you won’t want to miss the Choir’s Christ-mas sing-along this coming Saturday night at the All Saints Anglican
Church.Bring along your family and friends
and anything you might like to donate to the Kimberley Food Bank, and sing along with the choir to all the season-al favourites.
The musical evening begins at 7 p.m. this coming Saturday, December 8, 2012.
Admission is by donation.
From Page 1In Cranbrook, the
group moved down 10th Ave S with the Sookenai Singers setting the tone. Families, children, el-ders and dignitaries of all ages participated in the march that ended at Rotary Park – adjacent to the Cranbrook Law Courts where the Ktu-naxa expects legal pro-ceedings will take place.
Once at Rotary Park the Sookenai Singers kicked things off with a performance and MC Joe Pierre shared a note from Cranbrook’s favou-rite NHL star, Scott Nie-dermayer. Pierre, also a councillor for the St. Mary’s Band, an-nounced that the judi-cial review was being filed in Vancouver as the group gathered there.
The crowd then sang along to an altered ren-dition of Tom Petty’s classic “I won’t back down.”
NDP candidate for Kootenay East Norma Blissett told the crowd that the NDP was stand-ing with them in their fight against the pro-posed Jumbo Glacier Resort, which was re-cently granted Moun-tain Resort Municipality status.
“The majority of peo-ple who live here are op-posed to this project,” Blissett told the crowd. “We have enough ski re-sorts. We do not need more at this price.”
At least one attendee agreed with Blissett that there are already enough ski resorts; a sign in the crowd read “Keep Jumbo wild, ski Kimberley.”
Blissett thanked the Ktunaxa for standing up for what they believed, and encouraged them
to keep at it. “I want to say thank
you to the Ktunaxa com-munity for standing up,” she said.
Newly elected chief of the St. Mary’s Band Jim Whitehead ad-dressed the size of the crowd, and said the fight to keep Jumbo wild was just beginning.
“This speaks for itself as far as the importance of this place, Qat’muk,” Whitehead said.
The next perfor-mance featured an orig-inal song with lyrics in-cluding “Let’s keep Jumbo gondola free.”
Gerry Wilkie, Area G director for the Regional District of East Koote-nay, delivered a pas-sionate speech, thank-ing the Ktunaxa people for continuing to fight after the RDEK passed on land use decisions for the Jumbo Valley to the province in August, 2009.
“Thank you for doing what I am ashamed we could not do back in Au-gust 2009,” he said. “We didn’t deliver democra-cy to the people of the East Kootenay. Today you, the Ktunaxa peo-ple, are taking an im-portant stand.”
Wildsight executive director John Bergenske said the occasion was a joyous one that united people from different areas of the community.
“This is a day for me, really, of celebration,” he said. “Today I think we go away with a common feeling.”
Despite recent deci-sions to name the Jumbo Glacier Resort a mountain resort munic-ipality, Bergenske said he is confident the Ktu-naxa’s voice will be heard.
“I have no doubt that there will not be a resort in Jumbo Valley,” he said to loud cheers from the audience. “I’m just so overwhelmed and so happy to see all of us here together. We are all part of this land.”
NDP MLA for Nel-son-Creston Michelle Mungall spoke on be-half of MLA for Colum-bia River Revelstoke Norm Macdonald who was unable to attend. The Jumbo Glacier Re-sort lies within Macdon-ald’s riding. Mungall said her party has al-ways been loud and clear in their opposition to the Jumbo Glacier Re-sort.
“We’ve been doing this for 20 years,” she said. “In the Legislature, Norm Macdonald and I have been unwavering.”
Mungall said the de-cision to grant moun-tain resort municipality status came as a shock to the two opposition MLAs.
“We were floored,” she said. “That moun-tain resort municipality is anything but demo-cratic and therefore has no ability to work in the public interest.”
Mungall said the NDP is with the Jumbo opposition and support for their cause is offered around the province.
“Every single NDP MLA is watching what’s happening here today,” she said. “First we’re going to use every legal tool we have. I know the Kootenay people, and that resort will never happen.”
The event finished off with the Sookenai Singers marching the gathered Ktunaxa flag bearers and members out.

While members of the Ktunaxa Nation gathered in Cranbrook, a similar group did the same in Vancouver where they officially filed an application for
a judicial review of the Jumbo Glacier Resort.
The Ktunaxa are seeking a review of the resort’s master devel-opment plan, which was approved in March of this year.
The Jumbo Glacier Resort, which was granted Mountain Re-sort Municipality sta-tus in November, would be built in the heart of what the Ktu-naxa call Qat’muk,
home of the Grizzly Bear Spirit. The Ktu-naxa say building the year-round ski resort would destroy the na-tion’s spiritual values.
“Jumbo Resort, if built, will forever de-stroy the connection Ktunaxa have with Qat’muk,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Na-tion Chair. “It will sever this special and signifi-cant relationship that we have developed with that land for countless generations.”
And so the Ktunaxa launched another challenge in their long 20-year history of op-posing the project. Te-neese said the Ktunaxa people have over come enormous challenges to keep their culture alive, and preserving Qat’muk is an import-ant step for them.
“Ktunaxa have been the victim of residen-tial schools, and at-tempts to systematical-ly destroy our culture and heritage. We had to hide our language,
culture and spiritual beliefs away, simply in order to save them,” Teneese said. “We have kept our most precious beliefs a secret, in ac-cordance with our laws and in order to protect and preserve them for future generations of Ktunaxa.”
Approving the Jumbo Glacier Resort added insult to injury for the Ktunaxa people.
“Now, after over-coming these incredi-ble adversities, work-ing to develop our na-tion, and getting to a place where we are starting to see some
real successes, we are faced with the reality that the B.C. govern-ment is once again try-ing to destroy some-thing vital to who we are as a people,” Te-neese said.

From Page 5Even though the
Jumbo Glacier Resort is set to become a munic-ipality in February, 2013, Teneese said the First Nation will contin-ue their fight.
“I can tell you with all my conviction, that Ktunaxa will never allow themselves to be damaged as a people, ever again. Nobody has the right to take away what is rightfully ours. The fight to save Qat’muk is far from over, and it’s long over-due that we start asking harder questions of the BC Government, and challenge their pro-cess.”

Thaw Thi was able to reunite with his par-ents, brothers and their spouses and children. It was a joyful moment for the family and for the many volunteers who give their time to help the new arrivals settle in and introduce them to Canada.
Shauna Jimenez of Friends of Burma says that without all the hours given by volun-teers, the refugees inte-gration into Canadian life would not be so suc-cessful.
“This is a huge thank you to all the wonderful East Kootenay people who volunteer their time and money to re-settle refugees into our small towns. We hon-our and celebrate the thousands of volunteer hours contributed to settling our 10 newest residents who arrived in July of this year from refugee camps on the Thai/Burma border, where they had been waiting for over 10 years. Thanks to all of you who have volun-tarily contributed hours of support in so many different ways. Every-one is now settled in to their new homes and feeling well supported by their new volunteer friends.
“Thanks again to all
of you who helped them find and furnish their homes, register them for public school, accom-pany them to appoint-ments, and visit them in their homes while as-sisting in learning En-glish!.“We know it has been an exhausting year
for volunteers and once again, want to honour those in our small towns who give so much to en-sure our new friends feel welcome and support-ed.”
Friends of Burma welcomes new volun-teers who would like to
help out with daily vis-its, help with English, help with homework for school children and community outings.
If you can give some time, contact Barb at [email protected] or Shauna at [email protected]

“War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”
“A clear conscience is the sign of a fizzy memory.”
Anonymous
Unfortunately, most people, including respectable historians, have completely forgotten the fact that I helped (in no small way) to bring World War 11 to an end, un-satisfactory though the final result may have been for some partici-pants.
I was merely eleven years old when things began to get really nasty in Europe so I was not able to throw my full weight into the conflict but, by D.Day in 1944, I was a spotty six-teen and learning how to recognize enemy aircraft should they dare to fly overhead and how to fly gliders. I was pitching into the war effort.
My father, a manager in the Ministry of Food, had joined the Home Guard and, dressed in badly fitting khaki uniform and armed with a nasty-looking pitch-fork, was patrolling the hills and beaches looking for invasions or enemy spies. He didn’t have much success but, whilst checking out a back road on my bicycle, did have a dan-gerous run in with a pig and got himself severely mauled by the thorny bush in which he landed.
Meanwhile, I and a few daring friends in The Air Training Corps were cadging flights from maverick New Zealander, Ca-nadian and Aussie pilots, who were per-fecting the art of crashing Avro Ansons and other obsolete planes on local aerodromes. I’m not sure how we survived but I was determined to become a fighter pilot; I had already purchased the Brylcreem (a little dab’ll do ya) to slick down my unruly hair in the appropriate Royal Air Force manner.
In those war years, we, the hoi polloi, the general populace, were fed draw-ings of the faces of our ene-mies, should we unfortu-nately encounter any of them. They looked a fero-cious lot. However, the first one that I and a couple of
friends, with the assistance of the local constabulary, collared as he waded ashore, probably from a U-boat, turned out to be the local vicar who had taken his dog for a walk on the beach.
Quite honestly, when I did get to travel far afield and visit those who had been our evil foes, I never did see a face as nasty as those government drawings, or as wicked as that of the irate vicar whom I helped to arrest.
You see, I, with a staunch, alert gang of comrades, also helped train the Home Guard — without my father’s express per-mission — by stalking their patrols in the
hills and on the beaches, by sending them very lewd, insulting messages by Morse code, and by making — as the enemy would naturally do in such circumstances — damn nuisances of ourselves. We kept very busy; it was our war effort.
Impatiently, I awaited the day when I would come of age and be able to volun-teer and thus fly my Spitfire.
My father, born in the year 1900, was still not fully eighteen when he enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps and learned to fly Sopwith Pups and Camels but, because his war came to an abrupt stop about the same time, didn’t become a corpse him-self, but I wanted none of that nonsense; I wanted to have a go at the enemy, whoever it had become by that time.
We, in lieu of real action, went to the pictures (movies) those days and watched newsreels of our ‘boys’ in action. At the same time, we were subjected to films made in Hollywood with Americans, like Errol Flynn and John Wayne showing us how war should be done. We were not im-pressed and sat in the back row making sarcastic comments in overly loud voices.
By the time I’d reached eighteen I was a deadly, but still holstered, weapon, a tick-ing bomb. I’d volunteered for the R.A.F., the Fleet Air Arm and even the Army (as a glider pilot) but our enemies must have got wind of my imminent arrival in the war in the air and all sensibly surrendered and gone meekly home.
How I brought WW II to a standstill

news/opinionLetters to the editor
Mountain trailsI should clear up a few points made in an opinion column by
Peter Warland, Monday, November 26, in the Daily Townsman. I am Janice Strong, the author of the book (Mountain Footsteps Selected Hikes in the East Kootenay) mentioned in Mr. Warland’s column and it deserves my response.
Since the article appeared in the paper, I have once again con-firmed that the Teepee Mountain hiking description in my book is correct. One route described in the opinion column seems to have reached the summit from the opposite side of the peak (per-haps from Diorite Creek). Mr. Warland’s alternative route down through a forest of fallen trees isn’t something I would recom-mend, especially all way down from the Teepee ridge. He juxta-poses following a trail description to his own bushwhacking slogs, but that comparison to my hiking guide book gives a false impres-sion of the material covered in the book.
Trail accuracy and keeping my material as current as possible keeps my hiking guidebooks popular with my readers. I always appreciate feedback on my hiking trail descriptions.
It is no surprise to local hikers and back road drivers in the East Kootenay that road access and trail conditions are always chang-ing and deteriorating. To keep up with changes I enlist everyone who finds changes while out in the mountains to let me know. Hikers commonly send me emails and I post those notes online in my public road and trail forum on my website www.janicestrong.com.
Returning to the content of the column, Peter Warland’s “Brocken Spectres” phenomenon experience while exploring the Teepee Mountain is truly amazing. He is fortunate to witness such natural wonders and by writing about it in his column, it will pro-mote others to explore their own mountain discoveries.

the bearsMy heart goes out to the victims of last week’s bear attack. They
are very lucky to be alive.I just want to share some advice from some of my own experi-
ences and encounters.Most people are taught to make noise while hiking every now
and then, so the bears know you’re coming. In this case, perhaps the better approach would have been not to scream at the bear, but rather to back off. Also, never look a bear in the eye.
Once, while out for a day hike a number of years ago up on Bootleg Mountain Road, a friend of mine and I had to do this. We rounded a bend and up ahead was the biggest, meanest black bear I’d ever seen. I said quietly, “We’ll back up quietly — once around the bend and out of sight and with the wind in our favour we’ll run for our bicycles we left in the ditch and we’ll leave.”
Lucky for us, we avoided a bear attack. Never wear perfumes and musks when out there. Never go ei-
ther when menstruating. Bear can smell for long ranges. Travel in twos or threes, and take a cellphone.

My last encounter with a bear was a grizzly, high up on the tarn area of Bootleg Mountain. It came three times during the night and sniffed the tent where I was laying. I heard a rock disturbed on the slide by the lake. Soon, some twigs snapping. Padded feet … then it was there. My instincts kicked in. Don’t move, no noise, hardly breathe. No gun, no bear spray. It was dark out. I had a hatchet. The bear’s nose is the best area to hit hard.
Luckily it moved on. I was with three other people that night. We still managed to climb to the top of the ridge the next day.
My brother once told me that if a grizzly is mad enough, big enough, one swipe can cut an elk in half.

PENTICTON, B.C. — The In-terior health authority has de-ployed an official to oversee op-erations at a private seniors home in Summerland where a 91-year-old man lay gravely ill and alone in his bed for days before he was discovered by a family member.
Interior Health announced that a clinical consultant was placed at Summerland Seniors Village this weekend, and will remain there to work with man-agement and staff to improve care.
“An overall review of the res-idential care section of the facil-ity was already underway,’’ Karen Bloemink, regional direc-tor of residential services for In-terior Health said in a state-ment.
“However, in light of recent concerns brought to us, we be-lieve additional steps are re-quired and we want to assure residents living at Summerland Seniors Village and their loved ones that we are taking these concerns seriously.’’
Alfredo Bonaldi was absent for lunch and dinner at the communal cafeteria for at least three days, and nobody both-ered to check on him.
His son-in-law, Gil Inglis, told the Penticton Herald earlier that when Bonaldi didn’t an-swer telephone calls for several days, the family became con-cerned.
Inglis said he went to the home a week ago to find the el-derly man “lying in his own ex-crement.’’
He was unresponsive and
suffering “a serious infection on one side’’ from having been lying in his bed for so long, Ing-lis said.
He said Bonaldi was rushed to Penticton General Hospital, where he was treated for a kid-ney ailment and possibly sal-monella.
Interior Health officials have said an investigation was al-ready under way due to other concerns raised about the pri-vately owned facility.
The Bonaldi children said there was an investigation only a few months ago after her mother, a dementia patient, fell and broke her femur in an inci-dent in the bathtub. She fell Aug. 13 and died Aug. 28.
That investigation cleared staff of wrongdoing.
The Ministry of Health is also
investigating this more recent incident, and an inspector will visit the facility Monday.
Summerland Seniors Vil-lage, which offers assisted and independent living, is owned by the company Retirement Con-cepts. The company operates 15 seniors homes in B.C., from Williams Lake to Vancouver Is-land, as well as one facility in Montreal.
This is not the first time the Summerland seniors home has come under scrutiny.
In 2006, three staff members resigned when explicit photos of residents were taken with cell phones and circulated. Later that year a care aide worker was dismissed for rough treatment of residents. In 2007 an employ-ee pleaded guilty to stealing and using resident’s credit cards.

It was a tough week-end for the Ice as they toured through Alberta and lost to two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
After defeating the Oil Kings in a shootout last week, the Ice went up to Edmonton for a rematch and lost 2-0 on Friday, which was fol-lowed up by a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Cal-gary Hitmen on Sun-day.
Calgary’s win ties the club with Edmonton for second place honours in the Eastern Confer-ence, while the Ice sit at the bottom, six points behind the nearest op-ponent.
The Oil Kings out-shot the Ice in all three periods during their march to a shutout vic-tory on Friday evening at Rexall Place.
Mackenzie Skapski manned the crease for Kootenay, making 42 saves, while Tristan Jarry stood in goal across the rink, turning
away 20 shots for Ed-monton.
T.J. Foster took an early lead for the Oil Kings, when he took a pass from teammate Michael St. Croix, who recollected the puck after a failed wrap around attempt.
Henrik Samuelsson doubled the lead in the second period, when the Phoenix Coyotes draft pick slipped a backhand along the ice through Skapski’s five-hole on a breakaway.
The two teams held each other scoreless after that, and special teams was kept to a minimum, with no pen-alties for either side in the final frame.
Kootenay failed to convert on three power-play opportunities, while Edmonton didn’t get a chance with the man advantage.
Both teams are even in the season series now, as Kootenay and Edmonton each have two wins against each other in four games.
The Ice headed to
Calgary following Fri-day’s game for a mati-nee matchup against the Hitmen on Sunday afternoon, dropping 4-1 decision to their hosts.
Calgary had a 2-1 lead going into the final period, but a pair of power play goals from Greg Chase sealed the the Ice’s fate and stalled a comeback.
Ukranian import Pavlo Padakin opened the scoring with six minutes remaining in the opening period, which triggered a tor-rential rain of stuffed animals out onto the ice for Teddy Bear Toss Night.
The two teams
agreed to hold an inter-mission while the Hit-men staff cleared the surface of teddies and zambonied the ice. Af-terwards, they came out and finished the first period on clean ice and had a quick two-minute break before starting up the second frame.
Calgary doubled the lead on an effort from Alex Roach, who picked up a rebound off a breakaway from team-mate Brooks Macek.
However, the Ice re-sponded late in the pe-riod on a power play, when Brock Montgom-ery collected a rebound from Sam Reinhart for his 12th goal of the sea-son. Montgomery got in his first game after missing the last five with an upper body in-jury.
The Hitmen pulled ahead in the final peri-od, as Greg Chase scored a pair of power play markers to seal up the win.
The third period also featured a spirited ex-change of fists between
former Ice teammates Jagger Dirk and Bren-dan Hurley, that fol-lowed a second period tilt between Mike Simp-son and Jaynen Rissling.
Montgomery’s goal was the only reward the team got on eight power play opportunities, while the Hitmen drew blood twice in three chances.
Skapski made 25 saves while Chris Driedger made 18 saves in net for Calgary.
The Hitmen will fol-low the Ice back to Cranbrook for a game on Tuesday night at Western Financial Place.
ICE NOTES: The Ice recently raised $2,200 for the East Kootenay Foundation for Health by auctioning off game sticks used in the warm up and first period during the affair against the Edmonton Oil Kings last Wednesday at West-ern Financial Place. Rookie Collin Shirley had the highest bid on his stick, which went for $300.

The Kimberley Dyna-miters were swept over the weekend during a road swing that took them through Spokane and Grand Forks.
Friday’s affair ended with a line brawl and goalie fight on Friday in Spokane, which includ-ed both goaltenders, as Jeremy Mousseau and Julian DiFilippo left the crease to meet at centre ice.
The Braves ended the penalty-riddled game with a 6-2 victory, as Spo-kane scored three goals in the second period in their march to the win.
Spokane had a strong first period, with an early power play goal from Kurtis Redding and a late marker from Matt Thur-ston.
However, the second frame broke the contest open.
The Nitros had trou-ble staying out of the box, serving six two-minute minor and two five-min-ute major penalties, while Spokane only served two two-minute minors.
The Braves lit the goal lamp just before the half-way mark, as Redding scored his second of the night, but the Nitros re-sponded two minutes later, when the newly ac-quired Tre Mason put his team on the board.
Kimberley pulled within a goal on the man advantage roughly two minutes later, on an ef-fort from Corson John-stone.
However, the Braves pulled ahead with a three-goal lead on a pair of power play markers.
Brycen Fisher made it 4-2 with six minutes left in the period and Kyle Davis added to the lead a minute later.
The third period was ugly, with five fights—one early in the frame, while four occurred in a
line brawl in the last min-ute.
Spokane also added their final goal within the last two minutes from Austin Gabriel.
The Nitros were out-shot in every period, as Mousseau faced an as-tounding 61 shots, while the Dynamiters put 31 pucks on DiFilippo.
The Nitros capitalized once in 15 powerplay op-portunities, while the Braves were good three times in nine chances on the man-advantage.
The Dynamiters con-tinued their trip Saturday night by crossing the bor-der and heading into Grand Forks, falling short in a comeback effort to the Bruins.
The two teams were tied after the first two pe-riods, but the Bruins scored the go-ahead goal in the final frame to edge the Nitros for the win.
Kimberley opened the scoring, four minutes in on a goal from Taylor McDowell, but Chase Anchikoski answered near the halfway mark.
Matt Gann scored two minutes later to restore the Nitros’ lead, but Grand Forks tied it up on the man advantage in the final minute from Con-nor Bowen.
The two teams traded goals in the second peri-od, when the Bruins pulled ahead from an-other goal from Bowen, while Eric Buckley re-sponded for the Nitros.
Grand Forks took the lead again early in the final period on a third power play marker from Bowen, who completed his hat trick, and Connor Gross added an insur-ance goal a few minutes later.
Aaron Shubert re-sponded for the Dyna-miters with three min-utes remaining in the game, but fell short of a comeback by the time the buzzer sounded.
Bryce Halverson made 31 saves for Kim-berley, while Dominic Stadnyk stopped 37 shots on the other end of the rink.
Kimberley was de-nied on all three power play opportunities, while Grand Forks was good for two goals in seven chances.

DAVE SKRET TAAssociated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —It began like any other Saturday for the Kansas City Chiefs during the NFL season, their gen-eral manager and coach at work early to put final touches on this week-end’s gameplan. Then they got a call to hurry to the parking lot.
The two men rushed through the glass doors of Chiefs headquarters and came face-to-face with linebacker Jovan Belcher, holding a hand-gun to his head.
Belcher had already killed his girlfriend and sped the short distance to Arrowhead Stadium, right past a security checkpoint guarding the entrance. Upon finding his bosses, Belcher thanked general man-ager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel for giving him a chance in the NFL. Then he turned away and pulled the trigger.
The murder-suicide shocked a franchise that has been dealing with controversies now made trivial by comparison:
eight consecutive losses, injuries too numerous to count, discontent among fans and the prospect that Pioli and Crennel could be fired at season’s end.
Authorities did not release a possible mo-tive while piecing to-gether the case, other than to note that Belcher and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, had been ar-guing frequently.
The two of them left behind a 3-month-old girl. She was being cared for by family.
Kansas City Chiefs rocked by player’s murder-suicide
Lawton, Stoughton win Canada CupC ANADIAN PRESSMOOSE JAW, Sask. —
Jeff Stoughton defeated world champion Glenn Howard 4-3 on Sunday in the men’s final of the Capital One Canada Cup of Curling, while Stefanie Lawton won the wom-en’s title.
Stoughton and Law-ton each scored in the 10th end to secure a spot at next year’s Olympic qualifying tournament.
“It’s been a tough grind this week. I’m real-ly proud of the guys, and I think it’s going to hit us in the next week that we finally did it, and we don’t have to worry about anything at all for the rest of the year,’’ Stoughton said of his Winnipeg rink. “Of course we want to go back to the Brier, but I think it will be a little less stressful.’’
Lawton _ whose Sas-katoon rink included Marliese Kasner, Sherri Singler and Sherry An-derson _ won 6-4 over a Jennifer Jones team that was being skipped by
Kaitlyn Lawes.Stoughton, mean-
while, was joined by Jon Mead, Reid Carruthers and Mark Nichols in tak-ing out Howard’s four-some from Coldwater, Ont.
“We had our chanc-es,’’ said Howard, whose rink included of Craig Savill, Brent Laing and Wayne Middaugh. “Mark had two great tick shots in ten, and that makes it tough for us. But it was a good game, and I’m proud of the boys.’’
The men’s and wom-en’s champions receive one of the six automatic qualification spots for the Roar of the Rings next December in Win-nipeg _ the tournament that will determine Can-ada’s entries at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
“It’s huge,’’ Lawton said clinching a spot. “You count points all year — the last couple of years — to get that berth. We don’t have to worry about counting points, and where you’re rank-
ing ... For sure, that feels really good.’’
Lawes, meanwhile, is handling skip duties for Jones’ Winnipeg rink after she gave birth to a baby girl two weeks ago and is also recovering
from knee surgery.Lawes’ team includes
Dawn Askin, Jill Officer and Kirsten Wall.
“It was an interesting year for us,’’ Lawes said. “Definitely learned a lot and we had a wonderful
time playing with Kirsten. It would have been nice to finish it off with her, but we’re happy with our week at the Canada Cup. To make the final is really satisfy-ing.’’

This morning at an event in the Lower Mainland, the B.C. government, police and ICBC marked the 35th anniversary of the CounterAttack program with the launch of the Decem-ber impaired driving campaign.
In 1976, the year before CounterAt-tack roadchecks started, more than 300 people were killed in impaired related crashes every year in our province. While attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed consid-erably since then, an average of 113 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving remains the second leading cause of car
crash fatalities in B.C.*
“The CounterAttack program is a remark-able initiative that has helped save count-less lives, but we still have work to do,” said Mary Polak, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “The reality is 31 per cent of fatal crashes that occur every year in B.C. involve impaired driving. These are tragedies we can all help to prevent – when you celebrate
this holiday season with your family and friends, make sure you plan ahead for a safe ride home.”
“Recent, promising research shows most B.C. drivers are taking our impaired driving law seriously, and that it has helped to save more than 100 lives in the last two years,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General. “But some drivers re-main undeterred – so strategic enforcement efforts, including sea-sonal CounterAttack campaigns, remain critical to further our goals of reducing fatalities and creating safer roads and com-munities.”
If your festivities in-volve alcohol, arrange for a designated driver
or use other safe options to get home safely — call a taxi, take transit or call a sober friend. Another option is Operation Red Nose, a volunteer service in 13 host communities across B.C. that provides safe rides home for drivers and their passengers.
“We don’t want to see another family suffer the tragic loss of a loved one at the hand of an impaired driver. This is why our dedicated officers will be out in full force during the holidays conducting Coun-terAttack roadchecks across the province,” said Chief Constable Jamie Graham, Victo-ria Police and Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “If you choose to drive

impaired, you will be caught and you will face severe conse-quences.”
“We want everyone to enjoy the holidays with their family and friends, so make sure you plan ahead for a safe ride home,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Share the responsibility of being the designated driver this holiday season. If it’s your turn, be true to your commitment – your friends and fam-ily are counting on it.”
ICBC supports Coun-terAttack through an education campaign and enhanced police enforcement and also provides CounterAt-tack materials to busi-nesses, sports facili-ties and community groups to help prevent impaired driving.

Designated drivers get you home with careLet’s hear it for designated drivers! Those unsung heroes who choose not
to drink so they can get their friends home safely.
Here are a variety of recipes for easy-to-make mocktails. Most ingredients are probably already in your fridge. If not, a quick trip to your local grocery store will solve the problem. Measures are approximate.
Hot Apple Cider - with spicy cinnamon
Apple juice 1 litre (4 cups)
Whole cloves 10
Whole allspice 10
Ground nutmeg Dash
Salt Pinch
Cinnamon 2 sticks
Supplies: Large sauce-pan, mugs. Mixing: Pour juice into sauce-pan. Add spices. Cover and heat on low until almost boiling. Serve in mugs. (Serves 6)
Kootenay Koffee - smooth and creamy
Butter 15 ml (1 tbsp)
Brown sugar 80 ml (1/3 cup)
Cinnamon, nutmeg Pinch of each
Allspice, cloves Pinch of each
Strong freshly brewed coffee 1.4 litres (5.5 cups)
Milk 200 ml (3/4 cup)
Plan your rideRecently we asked the public what it takes to be a designated driver. Many people told us that the least drunk person often becomes the desig-nated driver by default.
Unfortunately, it’s this type of thinking plus a lack of planning that leads to impaired driving crashes on our roads.
In fact, the only time to decide how to get home safely is before you start drinking. Otherwise, it’s too late. That’s why we’re reminding every-one to designate a driver before your first round of drinks arrives.
Easy-to-make mocktailsOrange or lemon twists
Supplies: Large sauce-pan, mugs, electric beaters (optional). Mixing: In saucepan, beat butter and sugar into a creamy consis-tency. Blend in spices. Add hot coffee and stir until sugar melts. Stir in milk and heat just to boiling. Pour into heated mugs and garnish with orange or lemon twists. (Serves 6)
Tropical Heat - with spicy cinnamon
Cranberry juice 1 litre (4 cups)
Pineapple juice 1 litre (4 cups)
Water 250 ml (1 cup)
Salt Pinch
Cinnamon 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp)
Ground cloves 3 ml (3/4 tsp)
Nutmeg 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp)
Allspice 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp)
Cinnamon sticks 10
Supplies: Large sauce-pan, mugs. Mixing: Combine spices and water in the saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Add fruit juices and reheat just to boil-ing point. Serve piping hot with a cinnamon stick stirrer in each cup. (Serves 10)

Lemon juice 60 ml
(1/4 cup)
Soda 875 ml (3.5 cups)

Garfield By Jim Davis
Hagar the Horrible By Dick Browne
Baby Blues By Kirkman and Scott
Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price
Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Gary” for 11 years. He is in his early 50s and has nev-er married. Neither of us has children. Gary and I travel together, go camping and attend major sporting events. We make each other laugh and have fun in the bedroom. We tru-ly are best friends.
My problem is the lack of commitment. Although I’m welcome at Gary’s home as an overnight guest, he refuses to take it to the next level. If I bring up moving in or getting married, I get silence in return. He doesn’t give any explanation. He just refuses to dis-cuss it.
Gary recently started a new career and is gone for three days every week. There is an excellent chance that he will relocate. We still hook up on weekends, and things are great, but I long for a commitment and can-not seem to get it.
When filling out his new life insurance policy, Gary listed his elderly mother as his beneficiary. She is quite well off and doesn’t need the money. I would be willing to share everything I own with him, but I guess it isn’t reciprocal.
Maybe I already know the answer and just need to see it in black and white. Is it time to move on? -- Life Is Good
Dear Life Is Good: Gary enjoys what he has right now. And to a large extent, so do you. Are you willing to give up the friend-ship and intimacy with Gary in order to pursue a committed relationship? Could you be content with what you have and not expect more? If Gary is ready to move away and hasn’t suggested that you come along, it means you will not get a commitment from him. Period. Only you can decide whether that means the relationship is a waste of time.
Dear Annie: When my husband and I travel, we often spend a couple of days with friends or family. One night during our stay, we usually go out to dinner. There always seems to be a small verbal battle over who is going to pay the bill.
My husband always insists on paying. He says we want to thank them for their hospi-tality. On the other hand, when friends or family come to our house and we go out to dinner, my husband still insists on paying, saying they are our guests.
When I was growing up, my father was the same way. Is there a rule about who should pick up the tab: the host or the guest? -- Tired of Always Footing the Bill
Dear Tired: When staying at someone’s home for a weekend or longer, it is good manners to treat your hosts to a meal to thank them for their hospitality. Your hus-band should allow your guests to do the same for him. However, if your guests are with you only for a night, it is equally proper for your husband to treat them. But really, since he’s so stubborn about it, we suggest you let him do what he wants.
Dear Annie: You were wrong to tell “N.Y., N.Y.” to visit her ailing grandmothers be-cause it is “the right thing to do.”
Having been through it with a grand-mother and my own mother, I would have preferred to remember them as the loving people they once were instead of the nasty, angry human wreckage they became. When my grandchildren were younger, I spent lots of time making beautiful memories, and that’s what I want them to remember. I’ve already given written instructions that should I follow the same course, none of my family is to visit. Let me preserve some dig-nity by not having my loved ones witness my decline. -- Realistic
Dear Realistic: We don’t believe unpleas-ant memories must crowd out the earlier loving ones. But if these are your wishes, they should be honored.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could feel challenged by financial news and/or a part-ner’s reserved attitude. You have what it takes to break out of this stifling situation within a few hours. You’ll naturally find the right approach, which you impulsively will put into action. Tonight: Let the games begin. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone you usually count on could be rather cold toward you right now. If you can’t figure out what gives, it is important that you find out. You know how to talk this person out of his or her reticence long enough to tell you what is wrong. Tonight: Happily at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You appear to be robust and quite happy, until a normal encounter becomes too serious for your taste. You might con-sider distancing yourself from this person, as he or she seems to be the source of a chill in the air. Hang with your more jovial friends. Tonight: At a favorite
spot. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not like what a risk brings, but you are very tempt-ed to find out. Make an effort to move past the obvious. Consider what would happen if this idea goes south. If you resist the temptation, you deserve a pat on the back. Tonight: Treat your-self. You choose what. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You beam, no matter what you do. Others respond in a big way to your efforts. A situation could drain you if you allow it to, but you won’t. Good news heads your way. A meeting could be more important than you real-ize. Tonight: Your wish is some-one’s command. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Know when to step back and handle a situation differently. You are on top of your responsi-bilities, but you still are mulling over an important idea. Listen rather than talk. Ask all the questions you need to. Choose to do a stressbuster. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You could feel a bit insecure and might be left wondering just how much others expect of you. Regardless, you’ll take the lead in a meeting. Your opinions make a difference to many peo-ple. Would you present yourself differently if you felt slightly surer of yourself? Tonight: With pals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not feel energized, with everything that is going on around you. In fact, you could be stuck on overthinking what has gone on. Know that you might need to understand the influ-ence of your own negativity. Share your opinions. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be questioning what you want to do and why. De-tach, and you will see that you need no explanations. It is your life; choose to live it well. Think more carefully about what is happening around you. You do need some feedback. Tonight: Let your mind wander. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with someone directly. In
fact, everyone you deal with would appreciate your personal attention. Consider the possibil-ity that everything would run more smoothly if you shared more one-on-one time with others. Tonight: With a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay on top of surprising re-quests or an unexpected finan-cial development. Your original reaction could be very different from your final response. Lady Luck increases your options if you tap into your creativity. This allows you to see situations dif-ferently. Tonight: Return calls. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to rethink recent developments in your daily life. You might need to let go of a pattern or a certain way of thinking.

Dalia Nammari/ aroN Heller Associated Press
The Palestinian president re-turned triumphantly to the West Bank on Sunday, receiving a boisterous welcome from thou-sands of cheering supporters at a rally celebrating his people’s new acceptance to the United Nations.
An Israeli decision to cut off a cash transfer to the financially troubled Palestinian Authority, following an earlier decision to build thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements, failed to put a damper on the celebra-tions.
But Palestinian officials ac-knowledged they were unde-cided on what to do with their newfound status, and were waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.
Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leader’s re-turn from New York. Large post-ers of the Palestinian leader, whose popularity had plum-meted in recent months, adorned nearby buildings.
``We now have a state,’’ Abbas said to wild applause. ``The world has said loudly, ‘Yes to the state of Palestine.’’’
The United Nations General
Assembly last week overwhelm-ingly endorsed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel cap-tured in the 1967 war.
The move to upgrade the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state does not change much on the ground, but it car-ries deep potential significance.
The vote amounted to an in-ternational endorsement of the Palestinian position on future border arrangements with Isra-el and an overwhelming con-demnation of Israeli settle-ments in the areas claimed by the Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benja-min Netanyahu rejects a return to Israel’s 1967 lines. Israel re-mains in control in parts of the West Bank and considers east Jerusalem, the Palestinians’ hoped-for capital, an integral part of its capital.
Israel also continues to re-strict access to Gaza. Israel with-drew seven years ago from the coastal strip, and it is now ruled by Hamas Islamic militants who regularly fire rockets at Israel.
Israel, backed by the U.S., campaigned strongly against the statehood measure, accus-ing the Palestinians of trying to bypass direct peace negotia-tions, which it said were the only viable path to a Palestinian state.
The Israeli lobbying efforts
failed miserably. Just eight other countries — including Canada — voted with Israel, and even its closest allies in Europe, includ-ing Germany, Italy, France and Britain, either abstained or voted with the Palestinians.
Israel responded strongly and swiftly. The following day, it said it would start drawing up plans to build thousands of set-tlement homes, including the first-ever development on a crucial corridor east of Jerusa-lem.
Although the project is likely years away, if it happens at all, the announcement struck a de-fiant tone.
Building in the area, known as E1, would sever the link be-tween the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the sector of the holy city the Palestinians claim for a future capital, and cut off the northern part of the West Bank form its southern flank. The Pal-estinians claim such a scenario would essentially kill any hope for the creation of a viable state.
The U.S., Britain, France and other European states all de-nounced the plan.
On Sunday, the Israeli gov-ernment delivered another blow, saying it would withhold more than $100 million in funds it transfers to the Palestinians each month.
Instead, it said the money _ taxes and customs duties that Israel collects on behalf of the
Palestinians _ would be used to pay off its debts to Israeli com-panies, including $200 million owed to the state-run Israel Electric Corp., government offi-cials said.
The monthly transfers are crucial for the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority to pay sal-aries to its tens of thousands of civil servants and security forc-es. Israel has taken similar mea-sures in the past before eventu-ally releasing the money.
Half a million settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusa-lem. The ongoing growth of the settlements is at the heart of the current impasse in peace ef-forts.
The Palestinians view con-tinued settlement expansion as a show of bad faith and refuse to return to negotiations unless construction is frozen.
The Palestinians have sig-nalled that they may use their upgraded status to join the In-ternational Criminal Court and pursue war crimes charges against Israel. But officials say any decision to seek member-ship in the ICC is likely months away.
Palestinian officials said little was expected to change until Israel holds parliamentary elec-tions on Jan. 22. Public opinion polls suggest Netanyahu is like-ly to win re-election at the head of a hardline coalition.
Palestinian president returns home after achieving UN acceptance
Dave Skret taAssociated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ It began like any other Saturday for the Kansas City Chiefs during the NFL season, their general manager and coach at work early to put final touches on this weekend’s gameplan. Then they got a call to hurry to the parking lot.
The two men rushed through the glass doors of Chiefs headquarters and came face-to-face with linebacker Jovan Belcher, holding a hand-gun to his head.
Belcher had already killed his girlfriend and sped the short distance to Arrowhead Stadium, right past a security checkpoint guarding the en-trance. Upon finding his boss-es, Belcher thanked general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel for giv-ing him a chance in the NFL. Then he turned away and pulled the trigger.
The murder-suicide shocked a franchise that has been dealing with controver-sies now made trivial by com-parison: eight consecutive losses, injuries too numerous to count, discontent among fans and the prospect that Pioli
and Crennel could be fired at season’s end.
Authorities did not release a possible motive while piecing together the case, other than to note that Belcher and his girl-friend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, had been arguing frequently.
The two of them left behind a 3-month-old girl. She was being cared for by family.
The Chiefs issued a state-ment that said their game Sun-day afternoon against the Car-olina Panthers would go on as scheduled, even as the fran-chise tried to come to grips with the awfulness of Belcher’s death.
Then on Sunday, the Chiefs played their finest game of the season and beat Carolina 27-21.
The 25-year-old Belcher was from West Babylon, N.Y., and played college football at Maine. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, made the team and hung around the past four years, eventually moving into the starting lineup. He played in all 11 games this season.
The drama unfolded early Saturday when authorities re-ceived a call from a woman
who said her daughter had been shot multiple times at a residence about five miles from the Arrowhead complex. The call came from Belcher’s moth-er, who referred to the victim as her daughter.
``She treated Kasandra like a daughter,’’ Kansas City police spokesman Darin Snapp said, adding that the woman had recently moved in with the couple, ``probably to help out with the baby.’’
Police then got a phone call from the Chiefs’ training facili-ty, and Belcher’s description matched the suspect descrip-tion from the initial address. Snapp said officers pulled into the practice facility parking lot in a matter of minutes, in time to witness the suicide.
``Pioli and Crennel and an-other coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him,’’ Snapp said. ``The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the officers and that’s when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life.’’
The coaches told police they never felt in any danger.
Belcher is the latest among several players and NFL retir-
ees to die from self-inflicted gunshot wounds during the past few years. The death of star linebacker Junior Seau, who shot himself in the chest in at his California home last May, sent shockwaves around the league.
Seau’s family, like those of other suicide victims, donated his brain tissue to medical au-thorities to determine if head injuries he sustained playing football might be linked to his death. That report has not been released, although an autopsy showed no underlying hemor-rhaging or bruises on Seau’s brain.
Belcher did not have an ex-tensive injury history, though he was listed as having a head injury on a report from Nov. 11, 2009. Belcher played four days later against the Oakland Raid-ers.
Earlier this year, the NFL provided a grant to help estab-lish an independently operated phone service that connects players, coaches, team officials and other staff with counsellors trained to work through per-sonal and emotional crises. The NFL Life Line is available 24 hours a day.
