New garbage bylaw now in effectC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

There were red tag days for many Kimber-ley residents last week, the first week the new Solid Waste Bylaw was in effect.

Many residents re-turned home to find red tags affixed to garbage bags letting them know that they were not in compliance with the bylaw.

One of the most com-mon infractions is that people were unaware that the new bylaw re-quires garbage to be put out in cans, not just bags. This is primarily aimed at keeping wild-life out of garbage as it sits waiting for pickup.

Specifically:• Height 57 cm max

(22.5 inches)• Width at top 50 cm

max (19.5 inches)

• Handle dimensions 13 x 7 cm (5 x 2.75 inch-es)

• Similar to Rubber-maid “Roughneck” 77 litre (20.3 gal) (shown below)

• The allowable weight is 13 kilograms (28.6 lbs) per bag and 4 bags maximum/2 bags per can.

• Only 2 garbage cans are permitted per household.

• No loose garbage may be placed in con-tainers. Garbage must be contained in plastic garbage bags and the bags must be tied closed

• “Plastic garbage bags” means a sturdy plastic bag specifically marketed to store waste for collection and ex-cludes plastic bags that are intended for other purposes.

You’re in contravention of the new Solid Waste Bylaw, and here’s why.

CHRIS NE WELKimberley RCMP

K imberley RCMP is recommend-ing several charges after dealing with a suspicious male, on Jan 20 on Wall-inger Ave in Kimberley.

Around 9:30 a.m. on Jan 20 police were called to Wallinger Ave after re-ceiving a complaint about male act-ing in a disturbing manner.

A police officer attended and was assisting the man when a complaint was received from a local business about a theft that had occurred the day before. A second officer attend-ed the business and viewed video surveillance of the theft. He identi-fied the suspect as the male the other officer was currently assisting.

The man was then arrested for theft and taken into custody. As the officer felt with the man a female got involved and conveyed her displea-sure about the man’s arrest and at-

tempted to the damage the police vehicle. When she was being advised of her arrest, the woman assaulted the officer. A struggle ensued but the officer was able to take control and take her into custody as well.

The male subject appeared in court on Theft charges on Jan 21 and was released for court on Jan 25. Charges of Resist Arrest, Assault a Police Officer and Mischief against the female are being forwarded to Crown Counsel for review.

“What this situation brings to light that what can often be considered a simple call for service can quickly escalate; police officers always have to be ready, even when they are sim-ply assisting someone” states Cpl Chris Newel, “The Kimberley RCMP appreciate the witnesses that came forward and provided an unbiased view of the events”.

Police call turns out to be anything

but routine

bags may be used.• Loose garbage will

be placed at curbside on pick up day after 5 a.m. and before 7:30 a.m. Cans must be re-moved from the curb by 10 p.m. of the day of collection.

The other big chang-es are that the City doesn’t want yard waste put out curbside for pick up and no recycla-bles are to be put in with household gar-bage. That means glass,

aluminum cans, paper and cardboard should be set aside and brought to the Transfer Station where there are con-tainers provided for all recyclables.

The City hopes these changes will mean less weight in city trucks headed to the transfer station. Less weight means less money spent. The City current-ly spends about $550,000 each year to the Regional District of East Kootenay to han-dle the municipality’s garbage at the transfer station.

The East Kootenay Regional Science Fair The fair will run from March 4-5, 2016, at the College of the Rockies gymnasium with the theme being the science of sport and health.

CRANBROOK – Kootenay–Columbia MP Wayne Stetski is reminding eligible area employers and organizations that the deadline for submit-ting applications to Canada Summer Jobs 2016 (CSJ) is February 26, 2016.

“This is a great op-portunity for students to gain experience in the workforce. Pro-grams like Canada Summer Jobs help bolster the local econ-omy,” said Stetski. “I encourage eligible employers to apply

for this funding and hire a student for the summer.”

The CSJ initiative helps to create job op-portunities for stu-dents aged 15-30 in their communities. Funding is provided to not-for-profit orga-nizations, public sec-tor employers, and small businesses to assist with hiring stu-dents who will be re-turning to full-time studies in the next school year.

“One of my jobs as the Member of Parlia-ment is to ensure

Kootenay-Columbia is not left in the dark about various federal funding or assistance that is available for the riding,” added Stetski. “I will contin-ue to work hard to bring your voice to Ottawa and bring Ot-tawa back to the rid-ing.”

Assessment of the Kootenay-Columbia applications are guid-ed by local priorities, employment factors within the constituen-cy, on-the-job mento-ring and career relat-ed experience, provi-

sion of sufficient sala-ry and other criteria. This year, Canada Summer Jobs applica-tions are available on-line and must be com-pleted by February 26, 2016.

For eligibility crite-ria and guidelines for completing the appli-cation, please contact a Service Canada Cen-tre or refer to the web-site at www.service-canada.gc.ca/csj.

Students from Cranbrook,

Kimberley, Elk and Columbia Valley

encouraged to submit projects

Tre vor Cr awley

Calling all young scientific minds in the area—the annual East Kootenay Regional Science Fair is fast approaching and or-ganizers are encouraging all stu-dents from kindergarten to Grade 12 to participate.

Hosted by the College of the Rockies, the fair will go down on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, in the gymnasium. Last year, there were over 200 projects submitted that were eligible for hundreds of dollars in prizes and scholarships.

Anita Savage, one of the orga-

nizers on the East Kootenay Re-gional Science Fair Committee, says the fair is a great way for students to engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Mathematics) fields.

“The Science Fair gives com-munity kids the opportunity to exhibit their talent for science, which could take them to a Can-ada-wide science fair in Montre-al,” said Savage.

Savage is referencing the Canada-Wide Science Fair, which will be hosted in Montreal and showcases the top scientific exhibits from across the country. The CWSF also includes $1 mil-lion in awards, prizes and schol-arships.

For the East Kootenay Re-gional Science Fair, organizers decided on a theme of the sci-ence of sport and health.

“The science of sport and health is a bread theme that in-cludes many disciplines within

it,” said a EKRSF press release. “There is the study of exercise physiology including the human body and how it works when at rest or during athletic perfor-mance.

“Biomechanics takes a look at the anatomy of the human body and the effects of the exter-nal environment. Physical health, mental health, fitness, aging and nutrition play and ex-tensive role in the science of sport.

It’s not just students who will be present at the science fair with their projects; there will be other exhibits from industry, government and community partners. Examples include the Blue Lakes Centre, Canadian Wildlife Federation, COTR Kine-siology Department, Pacific Sport Columbia Basin Group and more.

January 18, 2016 - St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino is extremely pleased, and very fortunate to an-nounce the appointment of Mr. Barry Zwueste, as Chief Executive Officer.

In this capacity, Mr. Zwueste’s responsibilities will encompass overseeing the growth and sus-tainability of all branches of the Resort – namely the Golf Course, Hotel and Casino Operations.

Zwueste has been a senior ex-ecutive in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. His experience includes senior as well as General Management positions at several prestigious resort and city center hotels across Canada including; Fantasyland Hotel, The Algon-quin Resort, Jasper Park Lodge, Chateau Lake Louise as well as founding partner with Bellstar Hotels and Resorts. His postings have given him coast to coast ex-pertise in operations, and a well-rounded background in de-velopment and acquisition. The ability to succeed in new and challenging situations are part of his dynamic portfolio.

Zwueste’s priorities lie in exe-cuting four key strategies. The first is to concentrate on the sup-port of the team of exceptional St. Eugene employees without whom success cannot be achieved. Sec-ondly, he plans to work with his associates toward the delivery of consistent, exemplary customer service for the resort’s valued guests. St. Eugene is well known for excellence in customer service from the dedicated employees that comprise the St. Eugene fam-ily, and Zwueste plans to take that reputation even further. Thirdly, recognizing that our Aboriginal heritage is core to St. Eugene’s continued success, Zwueste’s plans include concentrating on enhancing awareness and sharing the knowledge of the Ktunaxa Na-tion with all of our guests. Finally, if our surrounding communities prosper and grow, we all prosper

and grow. Zwueste has commit-ted to work to elevate our pres-ence within the Cranbrook & Kimberley district and our neigh-bouring East Kootenay communi-ties, with a penchant to develop and retain long-standing rela-tionships with our community leaders.

St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casi-no is owned by three First Nations partners: Ktunaxa Nation of Brit-ish Columbia, the Samson Cree Nation of Maskwacis, Alberta, and the Chippewas of Rama First Nation of Rama, Ontario. St. Eu-gene Golf Resort & Casino is the second largest private employer in the local area with nearly 300 employees, many of them resi-dents of Cranbrook and Kimber-ley.

These are very exciting times for all of us at St. Eugene. As we move to a wonderful future here in the beautiful East Kootenays, our priority will be to further cel-ebrate, enhance and build on St. Eugene’s stellar reputation as a preferred destination resort for visitors from Canada and around the globe.

PAGE 6 MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2016

E nding Colombia’s 51-year-old civil war has taken a very long time. The first ceasefire and peace talks began

in 1984, and collapsed two years later. There was another unsuccessful attempt in 1991, and yet another, involving four years of negotiations, in 1998. It’s a bit like porcupines having sex: you have to move very slowly and carefully, and it can still go wrong in the end.

But more than three years after the current round of peace talks got underway, the govern-ment of President Juan Manuel Santos and the leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) are almost there. On Tuesday they asked the United Nations Security Coun-cil to provide a one-year unarmed mis-sion to supervise a ceasefire and the dis-armament of FARC’s forces.

It’s still a tricky process. Take, for ex-ample, the case of the “false positives”. In medical research, a false positive is a test that says a disease or condition is present when it actually isn’t. In the Colombian civil war, “false positives” were civilians killed by the army even though they were not members of FARC. There were at least 3,000 “false positives” between 2004 and 2008.

Moreover, the Colombian soldiers doing the killing knew the victims were not FARC members. The army was re-warding them for high body-counts, and they just needed more bodies to get their bonuses. When the scandal broke, several hundred of these murderers got long pris-on sentences — but these convictions could be overturned under the new “Spe-cial Peace Jurisdiction” that was agreed last December.

The key task now is to make it worth-while for FARC members to disarm. The Special Peace Jurisdiction, agreed in De-cember, will hear confessions from gueril-la fighters who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, and deter-mine the reparations they must make to

victims. But except in the most extreme cases, they will not be sent to jail.

So how can you keep the former soldiers who are serving long sentences for their own crimes in jail? It’s thorny questions like this that have made

the negotiations so long and complicated, but they are finally coming to a conclu-sion. The negotiators in Havana (Cuba has been hosting the talks) are working to a March deadline for a final ceasefire, and it looks like they may actually make it this time.

It will be a great relief for the 48 million Colombians, most of whom have lived with this nightmare for their entire lives. Over the years 220,000 people have been killed and about 7 million driven from their homes. The proportion of the coun-try’s people living in poverty has dropped from 48 percent in 2003 to 33 percent in 2012, but in rebel-held areas, where there have not been government services for decades, it is up around 60-65 percent.

Colomba has paid a very high price for this war. The country’s economic growth rate, although a respectable 4 percent annually in the past decade, would prob-ably have been twice as high without the war. In fact, the whole thing has really been a bloody and pointless distraction from the real task of development.

When FARC, then the armed wing of the Colombian Communist Party, first

took up arms in 1964, Colombia was a country desperately in need of change. Almost 40 percent of the population were peasants who did not own any land, and barely half the population was literate. But all the long FARC insurrection did was slow things down — and it didn’t slow them much.

Today only 23 percent of Colombia’s people still live on the land; the rest are in the cities. Literacy among 15 to 24-year-olds is over 98 percent. Land-ownership is still largely unreformed, but that mat-ters a lot less than it used to. In the midst of the endless war, Colombia has become a modern society anyway, and a democratic one at that.

So it’s high time to end the war, and even FARC has recognised that. The peace deal includes amnesties for all but a few of its members and a guarantee that they will have full political rights. The govern-ment has promised that it will tackle land reform in a serious way (which will be quite expensive). And FARC has promised to end its involvement in the drug trade, which was probably its biggest source of funds.

There are all sorts of land-mines hid-ing under this deal, like the fact that the cocaine trade (Colombia is the world’s biggest producer) may just fall into the hands of criminal gangs instead. Indeed, it probably will. But there is no doubt that the peace deal will be enormously benefi-cial to Colombia as a whole.

In the 1970s almost every country in Latin America had either a rural insur-gency or an “urban guerrilla” movement (or both). They meant well, of course, but they didn’t do much good. In fact, they did more harm than good, but this is real-ly the last of them. An era is ending. Good riddance.

Letters to the editor

Marysville BenchlandsKeep Kimberley cool — use your voice.This letter is not meant to ruffle feath-

ers, it is meant to inform and communi-cate to Kimberley/Marysville residents that value and use this beautiful, peaceful area daily. I feel it is my role and responsi-bility as an elected City Councillor to let you know that Kimberley/Marysville Na-ture needs your voice & time now!

It is time to speak up and save the Marysville Bench lands from the zoning for future development.

I think that this beauty should be shared by everyone not just a privileged few to build upon. We need YOU to step forward and speak before it is gone and zoned for buildings, residential or indus-trial. We lost the Bootleg golf area as well sold recently a nature walking area by the trails. I realize the city needs funds but some special areas should not be for sale.

Voice your values NOW for this natu-ral walking area by going to Kimberley’s Official Community Plan - placespeak.com under the heading of:

“Natural Environments”-Identify the places in Kimberley that u think need protection.

Or Kimberley’s greatest assets-open spaces, recreation and trails.

Not all of us enjoy walking on the paved area with moving bikes, skaters etc. There should be open space and nat-ural environments for all areas of the

community. Other areas of Kimberley have handy nature park areas. This is by Marysville; it is nature as its best walking all the way along Jim Ogilvie Way.

These areas make all of Kimberley so special. Let’s work together to make sure they stay for all generations to follow. Take the time to keep Kimberley cool!

deer CullThe Mayor and City Council should be

proud of themselves for having three fawns killed — which were such a threat to the City of Cranbrook — and in such an inhumane way. They are saying that this was post death twitching. As a hunter I do not believe this is true, and that fawn was still alive and suffering when it was being dragged away.

We live in the country, and have fawns born in our yard every year. We also have dogs, and we have never in 20 years had a problem like the people of Cranbrook seem to have.

I think that this issue began when video was posted on YouTube about a house cat mauling a new-born fawn that was pinned between the curb and a wheel of a car. Then this poor innocent dog was let out, and attacked by the doe, who had had enough. We do feel very sorry for the dog and its owner, and hope the dog recovered and is doing okay. But of course, when the City wanted to cull the deer, saying we have killer deer, they only show the part about the dog being attacked. Everybody was fine with this until the doe had had enough, and the only thing she could do was attack. As any mother, human or animal, she would do whatever to protect her little one. And if you go to YouTune you can see the whole video.

As for the contractors, they should be

proud of themselves for displaying cruel-ty to animals. We thought there was a law against this.

These are our feelings, and we know that not everyone is going to agree, but as citizens of this area we have had enough.

deer CullThe democratic process of two previ-

ous deer culls surveys by the previous council, as my recollection was almost 70% for culling.

I have lived in the East Kootenay for 73 years and in Cranbrook 53 years. There was a time when you and your children could walk the streets and feel safe. Ex-cept for the last 10 years our democratic rights have eroded to the point that safety is our main concern.

I have watched my neighbours taking their dogs for a walk being chased home by deer protecting their newborns. I have grandchildren and great grandchildren living on the boundary of the City with a predator cougar in their yard because of the excessive deep population in Cran-brook.

The Mayor and Council were elected by democratic process that gave them a majority to deal with this issue. The City Council on behalf of the citizens has a legal permit to cull! The previous culls were criminally interfered with and cost the tax payer’s unwarranted civil servant, RCMP & court time. We can’t accuse our Mayor and council who were elected to deal with these problems of secrecy. Does the RCMP warn drug dealers of a planned drug bust?

We also can’t forget the handicapped that face the same threats. How fast can they run? We support our Mayor and council 100%

Ice drop wild overtime thriller to ChiefsKootenay Ice battle against rival Spokane Chiefs, but fall in back-to-back games over home-and-home weekend

Gerry Frederick Photo/GerryFrederickPhotoGraPhy.com

Ice rookie Shane Allan (#16) slides his first career WHL goal past Chiefs goaltender Tyson Verhelst Friday night. Spokane went on to a wild 7-6 overtime victory at Western Financial Place.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

If you were at West-ern Financial Place Fri-day night, you might have thought you were watching the Kootenay Ice and Spokane Chiefs run a track meet instead of play a hockey game.

Those in attendance got full value for their ticket, as the Ice and Chiefs combined for 12 goals in regulation be-fore Kailer Yamamoto redirected a Jason Fram point shot to give Spo-kane a wild 7-6 victory in overtime.

“You score six goals, you should win a hockey game, but I’m sure [the Chiefs] felt the same way,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Koote-nay Ice, Friday night.

“It turned into a bit of a track meet there and that’s not how we need to play the game. They scored three of their first four goals off of track-meet type plays. Our first three goals are all earned from good, hard, old-fashioned work. If we stick to that plan, I think we’ll be fine.

“We just get caught up in the emotion of the game, which is under-standable as a young team. It’s an exciting way to play, but you have to have some self control.”

Y a m a m o t o ’ s game-winner came off a face-off only 1:10 into the three-on-three ses-sion.

“It’s huge, obviously when they tie it up late like that, it’s easy to get down on yourself and for the guys to bury their heads,” said Fram, the Chiefs captain, follow-

ing Friday’s game. “But I thought we rallied and it was really relieving to see that puck go in.”

After the Chiefs killed the remaining 55 sec-onds of an Ice power play to start overtime, Markson Bechtold exit-ed the penalty box be-fore burning into the of-fensive zone and putting a shot into Kootenay goaltender Declan Hobbs, leading to a face-off.

Spokane coach Don Nachbaur, one of the league’s most experi-enced bench bosses, called timeout to draw up a play.

“Every face-off is im-portant,” Fram said of the winning sequence. “Their tying goal — they win a face-off and score a goal. It comes right down to face-offs right to the end. We got a big win and [Yamamoto] went to the net and just managed to bang it in.”

Fram, 20, was the point man on the win-ning sequence and his assist on the play capped an impressive four-point outing, which in-cluded two goals in 51 seconds late in the sec-ond period.

Overtime was made possible by an impres-sive rally from the young Ice late in regulation.

Trailing 6-4 with time winding down, Ice right winger Jesse Zaha-richuk extended his per-sonal point streak to seven games when he converted on the power play with 2:52 remain-ing in regulation.

Moments later, as Fram alluded to, Ice vet-eran Zak Zborosky made good on a clean faceoff

win to tie the game 6-6 with only 1:36 to play in the third period.

“That’s how it’s sup-posed to work,” Zbo-rosky said Friday. “Alf [Matt Alfaro] won the draw clean to me. It was on my stick and off my stick and it was in.

“It’s good to know [we can come back] be-cause in games after this, if we’re down by two, we have a chance, we are in those games, no matter what the score is.”

Up until Fram’s out-burst in the second peri-od, fans were witness to a strong outing from the home team, which led 3-2 beyond the mid-point of the period.

A welcoming posi-tive for the Ice was key contributions coming from a widespread group within the lineup. With goals tough to come by at times this season, and often fu-elled by the line of Zbo-rosky, Alfaro and Zaha-richuk, the Ice saw six different goal scorers get in on the act Friday.

Playing in his 99th career regular season game, River Beattie tied the game 1-1 in the first period before 16-year-old rookie Max Patter-son gave the home team a 2-1 lead only 2:28 into the second period.

After Chiefs forward Jacob Cardiff drew the game even, rookie de-fenceman Dallas Hines put a puck past Chiefs starting goaltender Lasse Petersen to re-store the one-goal lead for the home team.

From there, Fram changed the face of the game, scoring twice over a matter of 51 seconds to give his team a momen-tous 4-3 lead heading into the dressing room after 40 minutes.

Both of the South Delta native’s tallies — his ninth and 10th of the campaign, respectively — came off odd-man rushes.

“The guys I was on the ice with created space,” Fram said. “I found some open op-portunities and just shot the puck. Sometimes those go in, sometimes they don’t. That second goal was a rolling puck. Sometimes those go in the corner, but tonight it managed to find its way in.”

The wild, back-and-forth affair continue into the third period as Presten Kopeck — a one-time member of the Ice for all of 25 hours — gave the visitors a 5-3 edge with a power-play marker early on.

But battle the Ice did, refusing to go away.

Only 47 seconds elapsed after Kopeck’s goal before Ice rookie Shane Allan scored on a beautiful breakaway ef-fort — his first WHL goal in his 41st career game — to pull his crew back within one.

“It’s great. It’s a nice monkey off the back for me,” Allan, 18, said with a smile Friday. “It’s something you dream

about as a kid, so it’s real nice.

“I saw my centre man coming off the ice, so I hopped off the bench and noticed Fleur [Cale Fleury] with the puck on the far side so I just thought I’d cut to-wards the blue line, see if I could get a stretch pass and catch their ‘D’ off guard. Sure enough, Fleur was awake.”

Allan skated in all alone on Chiefs goalten-der Tyson Verhelst, who came on in relief of Pe-tersen at the midpoint of the second period. The Ice rookie executed a shifty deke before slid-ing the puck home for a beautiful and memora-ble marker.

“I was just trying to kind of read off the goal-ie, maybe think shoot low blocker or some-thing, try to catch him off guard,” Allan said, recounting the break-away. “But I saw he was out of his net a bit, so I gave him a little pump fake and he went down right away.”

The Ice weathered an

early onslaught from the visiting Chiefs, which started basically from the opening puck drop.

Only 14 seconds had ticked off the clock be-fore a familiar name — former Red Deer Rebel Wyatt Johnson — opened the scoring for the Chiefs, going bar and in behind Hobbs.

At the end of the night, Hobbs made 32 saves on 39 shots.

At the other end, Pe-tersen was chased after allowing three goals on 16 shots, exiting the game at the media time-out during the second period. Verhelst came on in relief, making 17 saves on 20 shots to col-lect the victory.

After Friday’s wild and wooly affair was a tough one to match as the Chiefs claimed a sec-ond consecutive victory Saturday in Spokane.

The Chiefs scored twice in the first period, as Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Kopeck provided a 2-0 lead for the hosts after 20 minutes.

Ice rookie Jared Le-gien tallied his third of the season on a beautiful

breakaway, backhand ef-fort to cut the lead to 2-1 only 6:29 into the third period, but that’s as close as Kootenay could claw this time around.

Chiefs forward Curtis Miske rounded out the scoring with 2:03 re-maining in regulation.

Verhelst collect his second straight victory over the Ice, making 21 saves, while Ice goalten-der Wyatt Hoflin was good on 25 of 28 at-tempts.

The Ice (8-36-4-0) finish out January on the road, as they visit the Red Deer Rebels (31-15-1-2) Friday before open-ing a home-and-home series with the Edmon-ton Oil Kings (19-22-6-1) Sunday a t Rexall Place.

Next home action for the Kootenay Ice comes Feb. 2 on 2-for-1 Tues-day at Western Financial Place.

Lorne eckersLeySame employees.

Same management team. Same products. That was the message that Wynndel Box and Lumber Ltd. CEO Mi-chael Combs delivered to the sawmill employ-ees yesterday when he announced the sale of the mill to Canfor Cor-poration.

“Our first five-year plan stated a goal to save the jobs in the mill,” Combs said this morn-ing. “The priority in our second five-year plan was to secure those jobs for the future. And we have accomplished that.”

Wynndel Box and Lumber Ltd., rebranded WynnWood in 2014, was founded in 1913 by Monrad Wigen. After 102 years operating a family business, Wyn-nWood is committed to a long future as a key employer — about 100 jobs currently — in the

Creston Valley.For its part, Canfor

gets a profitable saw-mill, access to timber rights and an increased ability to produce a broader mix of higher value specialty prod-ucts.

“This acquisition will further increase our focus on specialty prod-ucts worldwide,” Canfor Corporation president and CEO Don Kayne said yesterday. “We are pleased to further grow and diversify the prod-uct line we are able to provide to our global customers, and to wel-come our new col-leagues at WynnWood to Canfor.”

While the Wynndel operation has become profitable under Combs’ management, long-term viability depends on secure sources of wood fibre and injec-tions of capital.

“Our primary Achil-les heel is fibre supply,”

he said. “All mills face the same constraints. But we have one of the smallest forest licenses in the area, which pro-duces about 65,000 cubic metres of fibre an-nually. We process more than 200,000 a year, so we have constantly had to supplement our own supply by going to bid sales, not all of which offer the quality of wood we need.”

With more than one million cubic metres of fibre supply in the Koo-tenay area, Canfor has the ability to provide WynnWood with all the fibre it needs.

“Last year we went 10 weeks with no second shift because we didn’t have enough logs,’ Combs said.

“Our second major need is money to up-grade our mill — it re-quires a significant capi-tal injection.”

A $1.5 million lum-ber drying kiln is sched-

uled for construction this spring, and more upgrades are anticipat-ed.

“Canfor absolutely met every requirement we had,” Combs said. “It was so satisfying to get to know their people at the highest level, in-cluding the CEO and chairman of the board. We are the perfect fit. Their mills produce pri-marily two-by-fours and they wanted to get into our business (which produces high-grade

one-inch boards) to di-versify their product mix.”

Monrad Wigen’s business started when he took delivery of a small portable sawmill in 1913. In the summers, he would use it to make thin boards used to con-struct wooden boxes and crates to supply the thriving Wynndel fruit industry. In winters, he moved his mill into the forest, where he cut rail-way ties.

Over the years, what

has become known as WynnWood has grown to become one of the continent’s premier pro-viders of high quality one-inch board prod-ucts.

Part of the sale con-ditions include reten-tion of the current man-agement team and that Combs, a California res-ident, continue in his role as CEO.

Area residents will not likely notice any dif-ferent at the sawmill, he said.

The purchase agree-ment includes the saw-mill’s assets and Wyn-nWood’s 65,000 cubic metre timber licence. Other properties will re-main in the hands of the

Wigen family.Canfor is a leading

integrated forest prod-ucts company based in Vancouver. It has inter-ests in B.C., Alberta, North and South Caroli-na, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Arkan-sas. It produces primari-ly softwood lumber and also owns a controlling interest in Canfor Pulp Products Inc., one of the largest producers of market northern bleached softwood kraft pulp and a leading pro-ducer of high perfor-mance kraft paper. Can-for shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Ex-change under the sym-bol CFP.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You still might be ablaze with energy, ideas and the desire to pursue a dream. What is stop-ping you? You will confront a lia-bility or problem in the next few days, if not today. The clarity you gain will drive you to the desired results. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might act like a stick in the mud in the morning. Your cre-ativity emerges and is likely to explode with one idea after an-other. What has been a restric-tion or problem until this point will dissipate after a conversa-tion. You finally can clear a pain-ful hurdle. Tonight: Celebrate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ideas might have been misrepresented during the past few weeks. As of today, you will enter a period that parallels the recent past. Do not claim re-sponsibility falsely. On the other hand, do take responsibility for your share of a mess. Tonight: Close to home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are like a seesaw with your mood. You will experience great-er stability within yourself. Once you clear up a misunderstand-ing, you might feel as if you have jumped a hurdle that up till now has felt impossible. Tonight: Invite a friend out for munchies and a drink. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get a head start in the morning; you still have that magic that makes a difference. A problem involving your finances seems insurmountable. In the next few days, if not today, you will discover a solution. Tonight: Be forthright with a friend about a confusing situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not come out of your cocoon until midday. Make this OK, but understand that what you previously thought was a problem no longer is one. Avoid making the issue much bigger than it needs to be. Do your best to resolve it now. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Use your positive attitude to

move important projects quick-ly. If you hit a snafu, don’t be sur-prised. You will be able to clear it up if you take responsibility for your side of the issue. Try not to get pouty; others like you better when you’re upbeat. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will be the dominant part-ner on a project. You will get what you desire. Know that you could change your mind about what your role needs to be and what it is that you desire from the situation. Honor your priori-ties, as they could change again. Tonight: Brainstorm with a bud-dy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a strong sense of what might be heading down the pike. Do some research early in the day, and look at your alter-natives before a situation be-comes more toxic. Trust in your ability to lead and to straighten out a problem. Tonight: Out until the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to a partner or dear friend. This person’s vision is

much different from yours, but that does not disqualify his or her perspective. In fact, you can learn from this association. Greater clarity comes forward after you take a step back. To-night: Detach, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others clearly dominate, and you would be well advised to follow their lead. The smart move here is to say nothing and be gracious. One-on-one relat-ing is highlighted later in the day. What has been a problem in the past can now be resolved. Tonight: Visit over dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) While others may be distracted by interpersonal issues, you clearly want to dig your heels into a project and get it done. Others’ minds seem to be else-where. You will see communi-cation work better tomorrow or the next day. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news and gossip! BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Alicia Keys (1981), writer Virginia Woolf (1882), actress Jenifer Lewis (1957)

Dear Annie: A friend of mine has Type 2 diabetes and an eating disorder. Recently, she visited the doctor and her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were extremely high. The doctor spoke to her about the consequences of her diet, and after the visit, she spoke to his nurse. She was told that if she keeps her blood sugar under 200, she doesn’t need to worry and the doctor won’t be mad at her. She came away from the visit with a determination to do a better job with her diet. But within a week, she went back to eating the “banned” food items. She tests herself and thinks that levels in the 190s are OK. I have been trying to work with her on her diet. I have introduced her to better food choices. I listen to her and give advice when the opportunity comes up. I have made the decision to keep the lines of communication open by not criticizing her choices. Is there anything I ought to be doing? -- The Listener Dear Listener: Not really. You are being supportive without enabling. You might ask her to join you in an exercise class or a morning walk. Physical activity can help enormously. And you can suggest that she contact a dietician for help with her nutrition, and the American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) for information, resources and support. The rest is up to her. Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 46 years and have been happy for most of it. We recently traveled to North Carolina to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. It was also my 71st birthday, so it was especially lovely, and I received some nice gifts. My wife gave me a $50 debit card, which I greatly appreciated. However, when we were driving home after the turkey dinners, golf, shopping, visiting, etc., it was time to fill up the car. My wife insisted that I pay for the $29 in gas with my birthday debit card. Do you think that was a reasonable thing for her to do? My wife earns twice what I do. I always buy her beautiful and expensive gifts for her special occasions. -- Still in Love Dear Still: Your wife made the unilateral decision that the gift card was for both of you and should be spent on joint needs. This makes it less of a gift than you anticipated, and we agree that it was unfair. It has nothing to do with who earns more money. Had you paid for the gas without using the debit card, you would have been out the same $29, but that is beside the point. Spending it on gas should have been your choice, not hers. Does your wife do this sort of thing often? Speak up and let her know it bothered you. Tell her that it is not a gift if someone else determines when it is spent and for what. Thank her again for being so generous and ask her to please not do this again. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

OTTAWA - “We were young and vigorous and full of ambition. We would rewrite our histo-ry. We would copy no other country. We would be ourselves, and proud of it.” - Nellie McClung.

It was the kind of savvy political strategy that politicians and lob-byists attempt to craft today: Stitch together a coalition of supporters from diverse communi-ties, secure financial backers, mount a suc-cessful ad campaign, and earn some positive media coverage.

A group of women in Manitoba used it to win the right to vote a centu-ry ago.

The province was the first place in Canada to bring in women’s suf-frage, on Jan. 28, 1916. That triggered a wave of changes - first in West-ern Canada and finally at the federal level in 1919. Indigenous peo-ple, it should be noted, did not get the vote fed-erally until 1960.

The Manitoba move-ment was complex.

There were people who supported temper-ance, and the havoc they believed alcohol was wreaking on families. There were many jour-nalists - members of the Canadian Women’s Press Club. Some unions supported women’s suf-frage, as did powerful farmers’ groups.

Members of the Polit-ical Equality League, which included such notable members as Nellie McClung, Cora Hind and Lillian Beynon Thomas, as well as male supporters, helped re-cruit and rally those dis-parate voices with speeches, meetings and articles in the papers. They had paid organiz-ers, and launched a major publicity blitz at the Winnipeg Stampede in 1913.

“I’ve always said that

Fighting for the franchiseA century ago, a savvy political campaign won women the right to vote

if (Beynon Thomas) had been running things today, she would have been running a strategy group that planned elec-tions, because she was the plotter of the whole thing,” said Linda Mc-Dowell, a retired Mani-toba history teacher and expert on women’s suf-frage.

B u s i n e s s w o m a n Martha Jane Hample, who would go on to be-come a member of the provincial legislature, helped bankroll the ac-tivities of the league. Outside Winnipeg, there were other hives of suf-fragist activity in Gimli and in the Roaring River district.

“Rural women in Manitoba by 1916 had telephones, good train service and good mail service, and people like Nellie McClung ... trav-elled to all these places; every little town had an auditorium or an opera house,” said McDowell.

“Really, there was a big network, and they

had a lot of support.”Social media and

viral videos didn’t exist, of course, but in 1914 the women created major buzz with a provocative play at the Walker The-atre in Winnipeg. Their mock Parliament paro-died the intransigence of Manitoba Premier Rod-mond Roblin, and imag-ined a parallel world where women were in power.

“Politics unsettles men and unsettled men means unsettled bills, broken furniture, broken vows and divorce.... Man’s place is on the farm,” McClung told the crowd, playing the role of Roblin.

Roblin’s government fell the following year amid scandal, and the new Liberal government finally extended the vote to women in 1916.

Today, 29 per cent of the Manitoba legislature is composed of women lawmakers. Of the 14 MPs from the province, three are women.

“I thought in 100 years we’d be further along than we are, whether it’s women in politics, women on boards, women running big companies,” lament-ed Myrna Driedger, founder of the Nellie McClung Foundation and a Conservative member of the Manito-ba legislature.

Still, Driedger said she’s felt in recent years that there is a new ener-gy among women in Canada, a conviction that they must have a seat at the deci-sion-making table. Earli-er this month, 600 women gathered in Winnipeg at a business networking event called “SHE Day.”

“It seems that there is something happening,” she said.

“We are taking more charge of ensuring that we can be leaders, and inspiring leaders, and inspiring the women who come after us.”

The Political Equality League was founded in 1912 by a group of educated middle class activists which included Nellie McClung, Winona Flett, E. Cora Hind, and Francis Marion Beynon.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the govern-ment is considering a second expansion of British Columbia’s in-centive programs for electric car buyers.

The $10.6 million

Clean Energy Vehicle Program, which in-cludes $5,000 rebates to buy or lease electric ve-hicles, is due to run out of money in March but efforts are underway to keep it going, Bennett said in an interview on Thursday.

An original program was launched in 2011 but quickly consumed its $4.7-million incen-tive budget. The $10.6-million program was introduced last April as an extension of the original vehicle program and was forecast to run

for three years.About 2,200 electric

vehicles have been pur-chased through the pro-grams. British Columbia now has more than 3,100 battery electric and plug-in hybrid elec-tric vehicles registered in the province, the sec-ond highest in Canada.

“I have certainly re-ported to government the Clean Energy Vehi-cle Program has been incredibly successful,” said Bennett. “A three-

year funding amount has been used up in less than a year. It shows to me the public is really keen on doing this.”

The incentives in last year’s program included $7.5 million in rebates for electric vehicle pur-chases, with the remain-ing money to be spent on infrastructure to charge vehicles and re-search.

Bennett said a third phase would mirror the first two.

“The largest amount would go to incentives and the smaller amounts would go to charging in-frastructure,” he added.

The government an-nounced Thursday that it will spend $50,000 to help train certified elec-tricians to install and maintain vehicle charging stations.

The money will sub-sidize course fees with a Port Coquitlam-based training company. The fees apply to the training

program operated by E2Inc at locations throughout B.C.

Bennett said B.C. al-ready has the largest public-charging net-work in Canada for elec-tric vehicles at more than 1,000 outlets, but more can be done.

Last month, B.C. joined a global alliance pledging to ensure all new vehicles in their ju-risdictions are ze-ro-emissions models by 2050.

Bennett says B.C. mulling more electric car incentives
