There was a 50 per cent exemption granted when properties were put in and as soon as your property is pulled out, the exemption will no longer apply.” Johnstone says that amount could be $600 or more per year. “There are a lot of peo- ple on a fixed income and I hope they understand this,” he said. He himself owns five acres in Meadowbrook and has received a letter saying his property will be coming out. “I’ve got five acres and can’t subdivide.

MLAs hearing from constituents on ALR changes
C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor
As most rural resi-dents of RDEK Areas B and E are aware, there are public meetings this week to discuss an Agri-cultural Land Commis-sion boundary review.
Some landowners have received letters stat-ing that their land will be removed from the Agri-cultural Land Reserve, others have not.
Both MLAs in the af-fected areas, Norm Mac-donald for Columbia River Revelstoke, where Area E changes are taking place, and Bill Bennett for Kootenay East, where Area B changes are hap-pening, say they have been hearing from con-stituents who have con-cerns.
“I will have a staff member at the meeting in Wasa this week,” Mac-donald said. “We want to make sure we fully under-stand all sides. We’ve heard people are unhap-py and we will work with local government and in-dividuals in understand-ing all the issues.”

This Friday, November 20, the Kimberley Dynamiters take on their biggest rivals — the Fernie Ghostriders. This is always the hottest hockey ticket of the year, and draws a big crowd.
Members of the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank board asks the crowd to bring along a few items to the game. It’s Food Bank Night at the Dynamiter Game, always a good fundraiser for the local food bank.
Fans are asked to bring
non-perishable food items to the game, along with toques, mitts and socks.
Toques, mitts and socks will be tossed on the ice, so you are asked to please put them in a plastic bag so they don’t stick to the ice sur-face.

Jeannette Cameron (standing, centre), one of the longest serving members of Cranbrook Community Theatre and found Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (now the Canadian History Centre), celebrated her 98th birthday with family and friends in Cranbrook recently.
Arne PetryshenFrom Nov. 15 to 22 it
is Restorative Justice Week.
Restorative justice is a court-diversion pro-gram — rather than going to court, it can be used to attempt to re-
pair the harm that’s been done.
Doug McPhee, from the Cranbrook and Dis-trict Restorative Justice Society, said there are some initial require-ments before restorative justice is considered.
“The first is it has to be under the offences that we can cover under restorative justice,” McPhee said. “As far as the criminal system is concerned, we deal with things like mischief under $5,000, theft
under $5,000 and as-sault, as long as it’s not family assault — vio-lence against women and children we don’t deal with.”
He explained it di-verges from the court system.
“In the court system, in some cases, it takes a considerable amount of time determining guilt,” he said. “With restor-ative justice, the offend-er admits to what he or she has done. The next part is that they need to
be willing to repair the harm that they’ve done. Lastly the victim has to be willing to partici-pate.”
If they can get all that together, then they work through restorative jus-tice.
There are also a lot of forms of restorative jus-tice.
“There is the tradi-tional community forum approach to those sort of things,” he said. “Another alterna-tive is the peace making circle, used for settling disputes and that sort of business.”
The society has an agreement with Crown council.
“If they see some-thing that, as it works it’s way through, is more aptly handled by restor-ative justice, they can refer to us as well,” he say.
McPhee has been working in restorative justice with the society since 2004. His wife has been working at it since 2002.
“There are other people in the communi-ty that have been at it longer than us in terms of providing service to Cranbrook in terms of restorative justice,” he said. “We’ve all seen a lot of very nice solutions that do speak to the whole business of re-pairing the harm.”
He said another part of the business is recidi-vism. That is how often someone who has com-mitted a crime recom-mits a crime.
He said the recidi-vism rates for those who go through restorative justice are lower.
“So they learn some-thing from going through restorative jus-tice,” he said. “They are connected with their
victims and they see the impact of the poor choices that they’ve made, and it encourages them to not commit the same or similar offences in the future — which is what we all want.”
McPhee said another part of it is the stigmati-zation, as much of the time after going through the courts the person is labelled after they com-mit the crime.
“That encourages them to live a negative lifestyle, in my estima-tion,” he said. “Restor-ative justice encourages them to rebuild rela-tionships between of-fender and their com-munity of support and the victims in their com-munity support. It re-moves all the labels and tries to bring people back to where they were before it happened.”
The Cranbrook and District Restorative Jus-tice Society is a non-profit and depends on charitable donations to operate. He noted that the court system are tax payer funded and so societies like theirs less-en the burden on tax payers.
It has operated in Cranbrook as a society since October 2007, but has been around in other forms since 2000.
McPhee said he sees the advantages and benefits on a daily basis and that keeps him in it.
The society also sup-ports the Highway of Tears showings coming up in the area later this month. The society is a partner in the Humanity Network, which is put-ting on the presenta-tions of the documenta-ry on Nov. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the College of the Rockies and Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. at the Stage Door.

A local organization dedi-cated to the furthering and promotion of the performing arts in Cranbrook is showing its appreciation to the spon-sors who help it in its mission with an evening of fun and dance this upcoming Satur-day, Nov. 21.
The Fisher Peak Perform-ing Arts Society, who host such events as Summer Sounds Concert Series and Dancing in the Park, is holding
a Sponsor-Appreciation dance at the Cranbrook Golf Club, featuring local rock bands The Testers and Split Shift.
“This event gives us the op-portunity to show our appreci-ation to our sponsors from over the last year, to recognize them publicly, and to give members and non-members an opportunity to meet them and to learn some of the aims and goals of the society,” said Dave Prinn, with FPPAS.
The Fisher Peak Perform-
ing Arts Society was founded two years ago by a group of local performing artists. Its main goal is to promote the performing arts in the Cran-brook area — whether it be music, spoken word, dance or theatre — through exposure and through partnerships with like-minded groups. Prinn mentioned the Key City Theatre, the City of Cran-brook, Columbia Basin Trust and numerous commercial organizations. FPPAS puts art-
ists and venues together, and helps ensure artists get the compensation they deserve.
Doors at the Cranbrook Golf Club open at 7 p.m., and local band Split Shift kicks off the music at 8 p.m., followed by The Testers. Music goes to midnight. There will be a cash bar, and a late night snack pre-sented around 10.
Tickets — $10 for mem-bers, $15 for non-members — are available at Lotus Books or on line at Snapd.com

TELUS investing $10.5 million to
connect Kimberley homes and businesses directly to
advanced fibre optic network
Kimberley, B.C. – TELUS is investing $10.5 million to connect more than 90 per cent of homes and businesses in Kimberley and Marysville directly to its fibre optic network. TELUS began initial construction work in the
community this spring, and has finished con-necting most homes and businesses. TELUS anticipates completing the remaining work connecting homes, in-cluding those within apartment buildings, by the middle of next year.
“Direct fibre connec-tion unleashes infinite possibilities now and into the future,” said Tony Geheran, TELUS Executive Vice-Presi-dent and President of Broadband Networks. “Along with enhancing the Internet connection Kimberley residents enjoy in their homes, this will help existing and new businesses thrive in the communi-
ty, enabling them to re-main in Kimberley while competing global-ly. This investment will also allow Kimberley’s tourism industry to pro-vide visitors with en-hanced connectivity during their stay, and will empower local healthcare providers and educators to revolu-tionize how they pro-vide critical services, right here in Kimberley.”
The gigabit-enabled TELUS fibre optic net-work is among the most advanced communica-tions infrastructure available in the world today, enabling con-nected residents to im-mediately take advan-tage of dramatically fast-
er Internet speeds of up to 150 megabits per sec-ond, while interested businesses, schools, healthcare providers, and institutions can ac-cess even more speed and capacity. As de-mand and internet tech-nologies evolve in the coming years TELUS will offer faster speeds and more capacity, suf-ficient for decades to come. Local healthcare providers, educators and technology compa-nies will be able to draw upon the technology to reimagine how they de-liver existing services and develop entirely new solutions.

Kimberley is privi-leged to be one of the few communities in Canada that can boast this important utility.”
This investment is part of TELUS’ commit-ment to invest $4 billion throughout B.C. through 2018, at no cost to taxpayers. As part of TELUS’ commitment to Give Where We Live, customers who pur-chase Optik TV before November 15 can select a local charitable part-ner to receive a $25 grant from TELUS.

Norm macdoNald MLA Columbia River
Revelstoke
As I write this MLA report, I can see that the mountains are getting a good dose of snow, and reports from other communi-ties are the same. Lots of snow, early in win-ter, would sure get us started on what should be a very strong winter tourism season here in Co-lumbia River – Revel-stoke.
And many of the factors that made this last summer a good one for tourism will keep things going through the winter. A low Canadian dollar keeps Canadians trav-elling here, and entic-es Americans and Eu-ropeans with incredi-ble deals.
But the biggest fac-tor that brings tourists here is the tremen-dous range of winter attractions in this re-gion.
We have five desti-nation ski resorts ranging from the fam-ily-friendly Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Area to the massive vertical and deep powder of Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
We have half a dozen wonderful Nor-dic skiing centers with groomed trails to match all levels of ski-ers.
Canadian heliski-ing had its start in Co-lumbia River – Revel-stoke, with the iconic Bugaboo Lodge, which still attracts skiers from around
the world. But there are now so many more world-class He-liski operators, as well as cat skiing opera-tions, and a host of incredible backcoun-try lodges, based right here in our mountain ranges.
The snowmobiling in our area is very well organized and people from our communi-ties work hard to make sure that trails are maintained and that the activity is as safe as possible.
For those who want a more relaxing time there are a num-ber of hot springs that are particularly nice on a snowy evening.
The Provincial gov-ernment’s role is to support tourism pro-motion and infra-structure as well as making investments in highway improve-ments so tourists can get to our attractions safely and predict-ably.
We need contin-ued improvements to the Trans Canada Highway and to High-way 93. We need top quality maintenance of all our highways, and I will continue to make sure this gov-ernment hears this message loud and clear.
Tourism is very im-portant to all of our communities. So let’s hope for lots of snow, and getting the winter season off to a strong start.

Sparwood branch to be closedTre vor cr awley
Finning has announced that the company will close 11 locations across western Canada, along with a workforce reduction of 450 people, which was revealed in a quarterly update on Thursday.
The announcement won’t affect operations in Cranbrook or Kimberley, but there will be a facility closure in Sparwood, said Hillary Anaka, communi-cations manager for Finning Canada.
Anaka did not provide specific numbers in terms of how many local jobs would be affected, but noted that Finning will still be active in Sparwood.
“On the Sparwood front, we do plan to exit our existing building in Sparwood by mid-2016,” she said. “We’re still working through the details, but I can tell you we’re still planning on having a strong presence in the Elk Valley.
“One component of that strong presence are field technicians to support our customers in the area.”
The exiting of 11 facilities in Western Canada is part of a restructuring plan to consolidate opera-tions, Anaka continued.
“In some cases, it’s a closure, in some cases it’s a consolidation of a couple of buildings or relocation,” Anaka said.

A Cranbrook woman who has been working in Uganda and started a sponsorship program will be sharing stories on Nov. 28.
Kimi Toyota began “His Hope Uganda” in 2009. It is a sponsorship program to provide edu-cation to needy chil-dren. Her pursuit was that of getting children back into school.
Since its quiet begin-ning, the work of His Hope Uganda has been transforming lives, both in East Africa and Cana-da.
Toyota grew up in Cranbrook and graduat-ed from Mt. Baker. At age 23, she behind a com-fortable life of employ-ment in Calgary’s Chil-dren’s Hospital, as well as snowboarding, mov-ies and enjoying the typ-ical pursuits of a 23 year old. In 2007, she and a friend decided to visit Uganda after seeing a heart breaking movie about child soldiers.
After a quick two weeks working with nine children in a home in Jinja, Uganda, she re-turned for a seven month stay. Upon re-turning to Canada, the home suddenly closed due to corruption and the nine children Toyota
now called family were abruptly sent back to their scattered villages.
Then in 2009, she began the sponsorship program with her initial eight children.
By the end of that first year, the number had grown to 47, sponsored mostly by Cranbrook families who attended the local Alliance Church.
The ministry has been transforming since its inception with each year bringing new op-portunities. In 2010, Kimi noticed that the home of one the chil-dren who was constantly sick was in hazardous shape with one of its mud, stick and dung walls periodically falling in, a leaky roof, mold and rats. She and her staff of three Ugandans decided to build a new home of brick with a metal roof. So began an endeavour that has now replaced 39 unsafe structures and built 40 sanitary drop toilets.
In 2011, teams began to arrive, first from Can-ada and later from En-gland. The first team of 21 were kept busy build-ing two homes and two brick toilet facilities, dis-tributing clothes, visit-ing schools and mixing with the amazing Ugan-
dan people over their two-week stay.
In 2013, hospital vis-its were introduced. Teams would visit the Children’s Hospital, feed close to 500 and spend time to pray with each of the patients, an espe-cially emotional time due to the horrid condi-tions of medical care.
By 2015, the number of sponsored children who were being provid-ed schooling as well as medical attention had grown to 152.
The work of transfor-mation is perhaps most evident in caring for medical needs. Diana is one of countless exam-ples. She first grabbed the attention of Kimi and the staff through her obvious inactivity. While other kids responded to the team’s visit with typ-ical enthusiasm and joy, Diana sat on the ground with empty eyes and an appearance that sug-gested she was merely awaiting death.
Because she was crippled and suffered from a serious heart condition, she was left out. With medical atten-tion, regular food and loads of love, Diana has been transformed into a delightful child whose laughter inspires and who readily shares
From page 3“It’s important to
note though in none of those instances are we actually leaving the community, we’re just changing how we deliver services to our customers in those areas.”
In a second quar-ter release, the com-pany reduced the workforce by 1,100 people, 24 per cent of which were B.C.-based jobs, Anaka said.
Thursday’s an-nouncement is in ad-dition to a previously stated plan to shut down 16 locations across Western Cana-da by mid-2016, as the company noted that third quarter revenues are down 16 per cent, mostly driv-en by a 35 per cent reduction in new equipment sales.
From an overall standpoint, the re-port also noted that gross profit margins in nearly all aspects of company opera-tions were down due to difficult market conditions, customer focus on cost reduc-tions and a weak Ca-nadian dollar.
“In line with sig-nificant steps already taken to adjust to the economic downturn, we took further deci-sive actions to reduce costs and implement sustainable opera-tional improvements as market conditions weakened in the third quarter,” said Scott Thomson, president and CEO of Finning International.
“These steps in-clude reducing the size of our global workforce by 1,900 people since the be-ginning of the year and 2,500 people since the start of the downturn in mid-2013. We also contin-ued to restructure our Canadian branch network, effectively reducing our facility footprint by over 20 per cent since the be-ginning of the year, to optimize the utiliza-tion of our assets throughout the cycle.”

Brian Edmondson
I have considered the recent outcome of the recent trial of Constable Rick Drought, a member of the Cran-brook Detachment of the R.C.M.P.
First off, should peace officers be held to account to the public for their actions? Absolutely, and without doubt, as should all persons whom work in the public ser-vice sector whether it be for example elect-ed officials, emergency responders, health care and education professionals. All of these are entrusted to provide a profes-sional service to their respective commu-nities and fellow citizens.
Peace officers are expected to respond, to protect and preserve life, and to know-ingly place themselves in harm’s way to do so. They are trained to do so — to take control and resolve a situation with mini-mal harm to all involved. They are expect-ed to identify, manage, and mitigate risk. This is expected to be performed under the stress of real time, often with minimal in-formation, limited resources, without the benefit of hindsight.
I recall a photograph taken years ago in the United States at the scene of an active shooter incident. The photograph was a panicked mass of students running from a school, in the midst of which was a single peace officer rushing into the school. I be-lieve it was taken at Columbine School in Colorado.
Are mistakes made? Yes, and when they are there must be an accounting not only to the peace officer but to the organization as well.
During my tenure as a Commissioned Officer and a senior member of the R.C.M.P. I was directed several times to conduct an independent officer review of serious incidents where police were in-volved that resulted in serious injury or the death of an individual. On each occasion I found myself working for several months over massive amounts of material, state-ments, evidence, facts, and reports sub-mitted by experts. This weighed heavily upon me — more often than once I found myself sitting in the quiet privacy of my
home, undisturbed, labouring for hours at time. At the end I needed to be able to ac-count to everyone — the public, those in-volved in the incident, the organization, other oversight agencies, and most of all myself. Yes, there were instances where I did not side with the peace officers’ ac-tions, accounting or the organization’s pol-icies.
In the instance of the incident involving Constable Drought: Was there a need to have the matter investigated? Absolutely. Did the public have a right to expect this? Absolutely. To be made aware of the facts? Absolutely. Should Constable Drought have expected to be held to account for his actions, specifically the use of potentially deadly force? Absolutely.
This matter, from the day of the incident to the stay of proceeding (Bringing Consta-ble Drought’s trial to an end) was some three years. It was investigated by the I.I.O. (Independent Investigations Office) and prosecuted by the Crown Counsel. Both of these agencies fall under the Ministry of Justice (Suzanne Anton - Attorney General and Minister of Justice for the Province of British Columbia, public service agencies).
Should the I.I.O., or some other agency, thoroughly and diligently investigate the matter? Should Crown Counsel thorough-ly and diligently analyse the matter from a perspective of the actions of Constable Drought being lawful? In each instance the answer is absolutely.
Six days into the trial of Constable Drought (October 6 to October 13, 2015) Crown Counsel, while still presenting their case, entered a stay of proceeding. The Defence never did have to present their case, or make a closing submission. The judge was never tasked to make a decision of judgement.
The reason for the entering of the stay, as reported in the media, was for “incon-sistencies in the evidence” given by the complainant (the person whom was shot by Constable Drought) and new evidence emerged about the location of the shoot-ing that affected the analyses of the shoot-ing (I take this to mean the analyses of the
scene and the physical evidence of the scene).
With respect to inconsistencies in the evidence of the complainant: How many times was he interviewed by I.I.O. Investi-gators and by Crown Counsel prior to giv-ing evidence? Were not his statements and account of the incident weighed against the totality of the statements of other per-sons, physical evidence by both the I.I.O. and the Crown Counsel?
With respect to the new evidence per-taining to analyses of the shooting: Where did this, so to speak, 11th hour evidence come from? How was this not uncovered in what would have one would expect to be a thorough, professional, analytical inves-tigation? Certainly would not the previous analyses have raised questions?
Constable Drought has been held to account. I was not there on the evening of the incident. I do not know whether he should or should not have discharged his service pistol and shot this individual. I, thankfully, was retired and not in a posi-tion to once again be faced with that heavy responsibility.
It would certainly appear from the stay of proceeding that Constable Drought’s decision that evening some three years ago, made under stress with limited infor-mation and limited time was the correct one — at least from a point of law of being able to prove the contrary.
The Independent Investigations Office and the Crown Counsel are as peace offi-cers servants of the public. My question now is who is holding them (specifically the people who made the decisions) to account for their investigations, decisions and actions. After all they did have three years to get it right, while Constable Drought had a matter of seconds to get it right.
Of course there are going to be people who disagree with me, I respect that.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2015
We will soon learn what Pre-mier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.
As they prepare to join the 40,000 peo-ple jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human im-pact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.
Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as en-vironment minister under former Liberal prime minis-ter Paul Martin. Then, as Lib-eral leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he prom-ises the entire federal cabinet will be in-volved.
Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experi-ence in government.
“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the en-vironment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t both-er us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”
It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Lib-
erals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unani-mous vote of Congress.
We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and
gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.
Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.
This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trum-pets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.
One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures
false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on av-erage at a third of Canadian prices.
China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.
Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now trans-lates to about seven cents on a litre of gaso-line.
Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancou-ver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.
The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

Marchi lights fuse in Nitros weekend wins
Ice lose Descheneau for duration of seasonTaylor rocc a
The Kootenay Ice are officially without the services of right wing Jaedon Descheneau for the duration of the 2015-16 WHL season.
Monday afternoon Ice head coach Luke Pierce confirmed that Descheneau, 20, will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery at the end of November to re-pair damage sustained in an incidental colli-
sion back on Oct. 6 in Prince Albert.
Descheneau, a native of Edmonton, only skat-ed in two games with the Ice this season, reg-istering one assist, be-fore being knocked out of action with the shoul-der injury.
A fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, De-scheneau has yet to sign an NHL entry-level con-
tract.In 265 career WHL
games, all with the Koo-tenay Ice, the 5-foot-9, 192-pound speedster tallied 111 goals and 272 points.
His best season came in 2013-14. Skating alongside all-time fran-chise scoring leader Sam Reinhart, Descheneau put up 44 goals and 98 points in 70 games.
Descheneau was placed on the long-term
injury list following the incident and therefore was not counting against the overage limit for the Ice.
Captain Luke Philp, defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky and goal-tender Wyatt Hoflin rep-resent the three overage players on the Ice roster. Defenceman Tyler King remains on the long-term injury list after un-dergoing off-season knee surgery.
Taylor rocc aWhen a player is se-
lected in the first round of the Western Hockey League’s annual ban-tam draft, there are al-ways high expectations.
Drafted ninth overall at the 2013 WHL Ban-tam Draft, there’s no ex-ception for Jared Legien.
“He probably started with really high expecta-tions on himself and all that other stuff with being a high pick [in the bantam draft],” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Monday afternoon. “[He had] a disappointing year last year and all those things -- it’s a lot of pressure to put on a young man.
“I think he’s kind of put that behind him now and is focused on what he can do to get better. We’ve started to see some signs of growth in his game. Simple hard work is what’s helped him.”
After 33 games, the native of Pilot Butte, Sask., tallied the first goal of his WHL career -- the product of hard work -- Saturday night against the Medicine Hat Tigers.
For Legien, it was a long-awaited marker
after first hearing his name called at the 2013 bantam draft and suit-ing up for his first-career WHL regular-season game as a 16-year-old last season.
“It felt good. I’ve been waiting for it for a while,” Legien said Tuesday. “It was nice to get one. Too bad we couldn’t get a win with it.
“It was nice to be able to contribute and give our team a chance to win, but it just didn’t really work out.”
Though the celebra-tion of an individual achievement was damp-ened by his team’s 6-3
loss to the Tigers, the hope is the milestone will serve as a stepping stone for the former Moose Jaw General as he strives to help fill the of-fensive void created with the news that right wing Jaedon Descheneau has been lost for the season due to shoulder surgery.
“I’m just trying to make the simple plays -- puck up ice always and try not to go back as much,” Legien said. “Last year, I think I tried to make things too diffi-cult for myself. This year, I’m doing a better job at just simplifying.
“The league is a lot
bigger and faster than you expect. Everyone is better. There’s no huge gaps between great players and average players -- everyone is pretty equal. The speed and physicality of the league is definitely one of the things you don’t really expect.”
In 13 games with the
Ice last season, Legien posted one assist.
This season, the Sas-katchewan product has been a mainstay in the Ice lineup, registering one goal and two points in 20 games.
“For him and anyone else in our lineup, the big issue is don’t try to play other than who you
are and what you do well,” Pierce said. “I think sometimes guys want to fill roles of guys that we’re missing, like Luke [Philp], Jaedon [Descheneau] and Zak [Zborosky].
“[Jared] can’t change anything. He’s just got to continue to keep the game simple and smart.
That goes for everyone of our guys and the oppor-tunities will be there.”
Legien and the Ice get back to action Tues-day when they welcome the Everett Silvertips to Cranbrook.

Taylor rocc aWith key veterans
banged up over the the weekend, alternate cap-tain and 20-year-old weapon Jared Marchi got the job done for the Kim-berley Dynamiters, help-ing fuel his club to a pair of wins in KIJHL action.
Friday, Marchi scored twice to light the fuse -- including the game-win-ning goal midway
through the third period -- as the Nitros doubled up the Kamloops Storm by a margin of 4-2 in a rematch of last season’s KIJHL championship.
“We played a full 60 minutes [Friday],” Mar-chi said. “We didn’t let up at all.”
The 5-foot-11 for-ward showed a penchant for late theatrics, scoring his first goal Friday with
only 9.1 seconds remain-ing on the clock in the second period.
Sunday, the Nitros travelled to Canal Flats to face the Columbia Valley Rockies and it was the Kimberley native striking in the last possi-ble moment of regula-tion -- 0.1 seconds re-maining on the clock, to be precise -- to give his team a 6-5 victory in an
all-important divisional game.
Playing three games in three nights, the Dy-namiters weren’t able to come up with a three-pack of wins as their Eddie Mountain Divi-sion rivals from Creston split that effort down the middle by claiming a 5-2 victory Saturday.

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A partner will put his or her en-ergy into planning a get-togeth-er. Be happy, as it could be an event in your honor! A conver-sation with this person will be quite poignant and meaningful. You might see a dimension of him or her that often is hidden. Tonight: Where your friends are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could put someone off with your attitude. Don’t be surprised if you get attitude back. A reac-tion like this is likely, considering where you are coming from. A discussion might be much better and more helpful in resolving the issue at hand. Tonight: A must appearance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You often see what others don’t. You also have the ability to read between the lines in conver-sations. Though you might be challenged on what you ob-serve, the information you gath-er will prove to be very helpful. Keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Try something new.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be in the position of juggling a key relationship too much for your own comfort. If this is the case, stop. Have a discussion with the other party in order to keep the lines of communication open. You’ll be happier as a result. Tonight: Let someone else choose. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others might have a lot of ener-gy invested in having a particu-lar conversation on their terms. You have nothing to lose by letting this talk happen. These people offer you a lot, especially their friendship. Express yourself as clearly as possible. Tonight: Do some exploring. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Plug your efficiency and your imagination into your work. You will benefit enormously from adding a new dimension to your days. Giving 110 percent can only add to the quality of your life. Right now, you are unusual-ly lucky; use it well. Tonight: Do your own thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of the cost of living
with such high intensity. You will feel so much better if you relax more and become a bit more aware of your actions and their ramifications. Reach out to others, because they clearly en-joy your company. Tonight: Add more spice to your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your strong will can override al-most any problems you are likely to encounter. However, when uproar starts on the homefront, you’ll need to resolve it quickly, for your sake. You can’t handle too much tension in this area of your life. Try to relax. Tonight: Head home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be a little more rigid than usual, but a conversation with a friend will help loosen you up. You have a tendency to internalize any tension or stress. Try to break that pattern through exercise or any other stressbuster you might be inter-ested in. Tonight: Hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You often walk a conservative path where your finances are concerned; however, a situation
could develop that forces you to loosen the purse strings. You might be uncomfortable with what is happening, so be more careful in the future. Tonight: Someone treats you to dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) How you deal with others will be important, especially with someone at a distance who could be argumentative and difficult. Opportunities become available through a dear loved one. Let this person know how much he or she is appreciated. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time when making a decision. You might not be ready to discuss any aspects of the matter just yet. A partner could demonstrate his or her devotion in a big way, as he or she enjoys giving more of him- or herself. One-on-one relating will be ef-fective. Tonight: Be direct. BORN TODAY Actor Danny DeVito (1944), film director Martin Scorsese (1942), actress Rachel McAdams (1978) ***
Dear Annie: While my mother was still alive, she gave a substantial amount of money to my oldest son, “Rick.” Everyone but Mother knew she was supporting his drug habit (which he has since overcome). When she died, her will gave equal amounts of money to both of my sons. My younger son, “Chris,” was hurt by his grandmother’s lopsided generosity to his brother, and it may be part of the reason my adult sons aren’t close today. Rick’s father, my first husband, will be leaving him his entire estate, so he will be financially set. My current husband and I recently completed our will, leaving most of our assets to Chris. Based upon what my mother did, I’m concerned that Rick will be hurt if he finds out that his stepfather and I didn’t leave him an equal share. But I don’t believe my husband is obligated to leave the same amount to his stepson as he does to his biological son. What do you think? -- Trying to Avoid Hurt Feelings Dear Trying: Did your husband help raise Rick? Can your assets be separated from your husband’s so that his entire estate goes to Chris, but yours is split in half? Would Rick be understanding if you discussed these issues in advance? Unequal bequests create problems because it appears that the parent loved one child more than the other. If you explain your reasoning, it’s possible your sons will understand and not be surprised and hurt later. Dear Annie: My oldest brother, “Richard,” is fading from this world. I live 3,000 miles away and flew home to see him and say my goodbyes. Richard and I have always been close and have loved each other dearly. Now he is in a locked mental hospital and I don’t know why. Richard can have visitors only on weekends at certain times. The drive to the hospital is nearly three hours. My sister and I were allowed to go to his room for 20 minutes, but not by ourselves. His wife and two children were present the entire time. It was as if we had watchdogs sitting there making sure we had little contact. The next day, we were told at the desk that his wife said we are not permitted to see him. I think the wife’s behavior is despicable. We went to see the facility director and my sister called the caseworker and explained the situation. He agreed that this was patient abuse. The doctor was called, and he said we could see our brother. Richard was in such good spirits and we laughed, hugged and kissed and told each other how much we loved each other. The purpose of this letter to let everyone know that even though you may have a spiteful sister-in-law or other family member, the law says no one can arbitrarily keep you from seeing your sibling. God answered my prayers and my soul is at rest. -- Loving Sister Dear Sister: We are glad you were able to have a good visit with your brother, but sometimes there are restrictions on visitors for a reason. It is always a good idea to phone first and check. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canadian PressCALGARY - Four people from Calgary are facing
dozens of charges after pickup trucks, SUVs and a Bentley luxury car were stolen during test drives arranged through online classified ads.
Police say they recovered nine cars and trucks worth more than $300,000 in a three-month inves-tigation.
They say people using an online site to privately sell their vehicles were contacted by a suspect claiming to be a potential buyer and wanting a test drive.
A meeting was arranged and the suspect drove away when the owners momentarily stepped out of their vehicles.
Police say one owner was seriously hurt when he tried to stop a theft in September, but has since recovered.
Investigators believe the suspects were stealing the vehicles for personal use and it does not appear there is a connection to organized crime.
Alexandre Alfred Beck-Quenneville, 23, faces 46 charges that include numerous counts of theft and possession of stolen property.
Kirk Leslie Nazeil, 28, faces 10 charges that in-clude hit and run causing injury.
Christina Louise Ramchuk, 26, faces six charges and Lacey Victoria Cecile Tiedemann faces

C a n a d i a n P r e s sCASTLEGAR, B.C. -
Wild turkeys in Castle-gar, B.C., now have a way to cross the road and get to the other side.
A flock of about 30 turkeys has been caus-ing traffic troubles in the West Kootenay town for about a year and a half, said Coun. Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff.
“Basically, people were driving and slam-ming on their brakes because two, three, four times a day, they cross the road, I guess to go feed or to do whatever turkeys do,” she said.
The poultry cross-ings caused some minor fender-benders, slowed traffic and even damaged vehicles.
“I had people con-
tact me and say they had seen a turkey fly and crack somebody’s windshield. You know, they’re big birds, right? And if you just hit them a certain way, they could fly up and do that,” Heaton-Shers-tobitoff said.
When the birds be-came a safety issue, city council came up with two bright yellow signs
adorned with pictures of the fowl to warn driv-ers of the hazard.
“We think we’ve got a great turkey picture there. And if it makes people happy or makes them slow down there, then we did a good job for a couple of hundred bucks,” Heaton-Shers-tobitoff said.
The signs were in-stalled on Columbia
Avenue about two weeks ago and so far, they seem to be work-ing.
“People told me last week that the turkeys are actually crossing right below the signs,” Heaton-Sherstobitoff said. “So the big joke now is that turkeys in Castlegar know how to read, so that’s where they’re crossing.”
Signs have turkeys crossing road instead of landing on windshields in Castlegar

OTTAWA - The level of jihadist militancy simmering in France and other parts of west-ern Europe simply doesn’t exist in Canada, making the sort of attack that devastated Paris less likely, security ex-perts say.
In France and Bel-gium there are tens of thousands of people who, while not terrorists, sympathize with the ide-ology espoused by radi-cal elements like the Is-lamic State of Iraq and the Levant, said Phil Gurski, a former Cana-dian Security Intelli-gence Service analyst who specializes in counter-radicalization efforts.
“We don’t have that here - not to the best of our knowledge,” Gurski said in an interview.
“I think we have to acknowledge that there are some significant dif-ferences.”
Last year Michael Zehaf Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, an hon-our guard at the Nation-al War Memorial, before rushing into Parlia-ment’s Centre Block. Zehaf Bibeau was quick-ly gunned down.
Two days earlier, Martin Couture-Rou-leau had fatally rammed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent with a car in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. After a chase, police shot and killed the knife-wielding assailant.
While Canada has been hit by jihadi-in-spired lone-wolf attacks, there has been nothing like the co-ordinated as-saults on multiple tar-gets in Paris that claimed 129 lives and injured hundreds of others, said
Jez Littlewood of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton Uni-versity in Ottawa.
“That’s not some-thing we’ve seen Cana-dian terrorists actually being able to carry out.”
Canada is pursuing a significantly smaller proportion of count-er-terrorism investiga-tions than some Europe-an nations, and a rela-tively low number of Canadians - between 45 and 60 - have headed to Iraq and Syria as foreign fighters, experts say.
At the same time, Canada has generally been perceived as less of a target of interest than some allies for ji-hadi-motivated extrem-ists.
“Things are better here. I can’t imagine a scenario where Canada gets like that,” Gurski
said. “I really can’t. And I’m not sure I know why, but whatever it is we’re doing here, we’re doing it right for the most part.”
Littlewood points to a more civil political dis-course in Canada that has avoided “openly hostile” messages to im-migrants and refugees of the kind spouted by the far right in France.
“No western democ-racy is perfect in this realm - I don’t think any of us would say that,” Lit-tlewood said.
But he quickly adds that Canada “seems to be faring better” than France in terms of en-suring a sense of identity and belonging for new-comers.
Gurski spent almost 13 years at CSIS before moving to Public Safety Canada and now works as a private threat and risk consultant. He has been openly critical of the previous Conserva-tive government’s harsh tone toward the Muslim
community - something he believes strained del-icate bonds of trust.
He applauds as a welcome shift the Liber-al government’s promise to create an office of community outreach and counter-radicaliza-tion.
“This is your early in-tervention,” he said. “You can work with communities, you can work with local law en-forcement.”
In addition, it is much less intimidating and expensive than a CSIS or police investiga-tion.
Security experts say that despite such efforts no one can promise all violent plots will be averted.
“You’re going to have attacks periodically, you’re going to have ar-rests periodically,” Gur-ski said. “This is what life is in 2015 and unfortu-nately it’s going to be this way for the next couple decades.”
Security landscapes in Canada, France differ, security experts say
Canadian PressVICTORIA - British
Columbia’s all-party fi-nance committee is call-ing for adequate funding to support education.
It released a budget consultation report Fri-day with 63 recommen-dations and says educa-tion is a top concern among British Columbi-ans.
The committee rec-ommends the Finance Ministry provide stable and adequate funding to school districts in order
to provide quality edu-cation.
Committee chair-man and Liberal Scott Hamilton says the com-mittee held public hear-ings in eight communi-ties during the fall and received 572 submis-sions, one third of them related to education.
The committee also recommends the gov-ernment restore full funding to adult basic education and English as a second language programs.
