    Child care in the East Kootenays is lacking according to a delegation that spoke to Cranbrook council last week.

    Katherine Bonnell and Mary Noble, from the East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Advisory Committee were in council on Monday to talk about the child care needs in the area.

    They noted that early learning and child care programs in the East Kootenay region are in desperate need of qualified

    early childhood educators and early childhood educator assistants.

    Bonnell said that there are 18 early childhood educator positions currently vacant in the region, according to the East Kootenay child care resource and referral program, and many of the posi-tions have been available for over a year.

    Bonnell also noted that the region has the highest number of vacant early childhood positions in the BC Interior.

    The East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Task Force was formed in 2013, by representatives from East Koo-

    tenay Children First, East Kootenay Suc-cess By 6, East Kootenay Child Care Re-source and Referral and East Kootenay community members who recognized there were unmet child care needs in communities throughout the East Koo-tenay region.

    The task force then commissioned a needs assessment project, the results of which reflect the contributions of 12 communities in the Columbia Basin. Bonnell said the results are not positive.

    On Sunday, Cran-brook RCMP arrested a man that was wanted in the U.S by the FBI.

    Staff Sgt. Hector Lee said an off-duty officer spotted the wanted man near the 2100 block of Cranbrook Street North on Sunday afternoon. The off-duty officer then put in a call to the de-tachment while he kept his eye on the subject, until police arrived and he was taken into custo-dy without incident.

    Lee said the man had fled from police a num-ber of times in the past week and a half, so they have been actively look-ing for him.

    He just had immi-gration warrants put out for being in the country illegally, and he was fac-ing assault charges from a recent incident here, Lee said. Were just li-aising with the Canada Border Services Agency

    and Immigration to have this fellow on a one-way trip back to the U.S.

    The arrest was car-ried out at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday.

    Staff Sgt. Lee also provided information on calls to service over the week. From Mon-day, Nov. 16 at 6 a.m. to Monday, Nov. 23 at 6 a.m. there were 109 calls for service.

    Cranbrook RCMP handed out four Imme-diate Roadside Prohibi-tions.

    Officers responded to six mental health calls, four of which re-sulted in apprehension and the subject was brought to the hospital for further assessment.

    There were seven motor vehicle accidents, and one hit and run.

    Which is higher than usual, Lee said, adding he attributes some of that to the weather last week.

    Work for 2015

    This past snow-free season has seen anoth-er set of trail work proj-ects taken. A commit-tee that formed and met in the Spring set out the priority areas and types of work to be done. Most of the items from that list have been finished.

    The season started with four plus sessions of raking and pruning of trails. Well over 70 per cent of single-track in the Park and Horse Barn Valley was worked on. Another important job was restoration work on closed sec-tions of trail and the placing of barriers to keep people off closed sections. Old trails or short-cuts near Pon-derosa, Rock Slide, Cabin and Eimers Ridge had barriers of some kind placed. Most efforts were suc-cessful, while in some cases people are mov-ing the debris and con-tinuing to use old sec-tions, despite signs ex-plaining the closure.

    In terms of relatively minor tasks, a couple of the steep sections on Ponderosa saw some work done to better control water flow and to create a more sus-tainable line around a tree with roots on the

    trail. Burnt Trail saw an extensive make-over which widened and re-benched much of the trail, cleared many low hanging trees and put in a 2.5m bridge over a muddy seep. (Another span of wood still has to be added downhill.) A turn along Sidecut Trail that was partially damaged during the Enduro race was re-paired. ($500 was do-nated to the KNPS by the event.)

    A bigger project was a re-routing of the top of Edge Trail, where it finishes up the ridge before entering into Forest Crowne. Over three evening sessions, volunteers worked in very dry/dusty condi-tions to put in a gentler, less prone-to-erosion section of about 75m. The hot, dry summer made for poor trail work conditions and this section will not be opened for use until next Spring so that moisture can help compact and bind the trail.

    The largest pro-posed project for the season did not go ahead. The KNPS, City and Kimberley Trail Society had hoped to put in a trail along the edge of the Trickle Creek Golf Course in the area of the 7th hole, connecting the Levirs trails to Upper Army Road near the low end of Sidecut. The pur-poses of this proposed new section were to take some traffic out of the sensitive Cabin Trail area, to create a far more safe and sus-tainable connection from the junction of Pattersons Ridge and Residence Choice and to stop bikers from going through the golf course to gain Sidecut. Unfortunately, RCR was unwilling to let a short section of trail cross a steep slope below the golf course and so the project never moved forward this year.

    Many thanks to the volunteers who helped with these projects, but especially to those that turned out most fre-quently: Kent Good-win, Lou Bdard, Paul Paronetto, Paddy and Naomi Humenny and

    Nigel Kitto.Happy trails!

    The last few months have been busy for the Natural History group with the monitoring of the Eimers Lake eco-system. A plant species inventory of the area has been started with a future interpretive pro-gram in mind. There were also walks of in-terest in other parts of the Park each month as well.

    The amazing diver-sity of the KNP provides endless sources of dis-covery for those willing to look for them. Each season presents new and exciting changes in every level of the Park, from under the ground to the tops of the high-est trees. The KNP pro-vides an array of habi-tats for more creatures and plants than we can name, an oasis for life. It has been said that ev-eryone needs a safe place, a refuge, for whatever reasons, a place to restore bal-ance. Just the simple knowledge that this place exists brings peace and hope.

    Once again this summer, volunteers from KNPS led our weekly Gateway To Na-ture hikes from the Riv-erside Campground into the Park. Visitors

    to Kimberley were in-troduced to the many of the wonders of the Park and came to un-derstand why they in-spire us to protect it.

    The Natural History group will continue to actively monitor and catalogue the incredi-ble natural values of the KNP.

    kNPS PrioriTieS aNd ValueS

    MeeTiNg

    The KNPS has had its constitution for over 20 years (largely un-changed) and the Park Management Plan was updated in 2012. These, with a number of policy documents, help to shape how the Park is managed. Some recent discussions and concerns over new trails and events in the Park and Horse Barn Valley (both topics hav-ing policies) led the September meeting to call for volunteers to form a sub-committee to look at the issues in greater detail. Should the priorities/values of the Park be updated?

    A diverse group of members, ten in all, met on October 15. We spoke of why we thought there were ten-sions and shared some of what we personally value about the Park. Kent Goodwin gave some background to the various documents in play. With some

    more debate and dis-cussion, and rereading of several sections of the above documents, the talk focused in on the specifics that had led to our gathering.

    The Events policy is quite new and has al-ready been updated once. Kimberley is clearly seeing an in-crease in demand from recreational events (mostly races). The policy was intentional-ly written somewhat conservatively, but with idea that it would be revisited over time. Thus far, no serious pressure has been put on this document in terms of numbers of events in the Park, nor by numbers of partici-pants. The document does oblige proponents to quickly clean up after events and to help facilitate repairs to trails if they are dam-aged. The consensus at our meeting was that things have gone well so far and that no fur-ther modifications

    need to be worried about until the policy is stressed by real circum-stances.

    Trails in the Park and Horse Barn Valley have seen much rework over the last five years, almost all of it involv-ing the creation of new sections that deal with unsustainable ones and all of it with input from the Natural Histo-ry group and the ap-proval of the board. Only one entirely new trail has been created/built by the Society: Hoodoo View. There is a proposal before the KNPS to build a new trail in the Tora Bora area of Horse Barn Val-ley. The group at the meeting agreed that every new proposal needs to be taken on its own merits and that the current document pro-vides a balanced set of guidelines.

    As for the balance of values, the final con-sensus is that it is im-portant for the KNPS to continue to emphasize conservation within the Park, while still finding a balance with recreation. The KNPSs mandate to promote the Park and its values was seen to be import-ant, and requiring some updated effort. A fuller web presence is a project being taken on this coming winter and the process of develop-ing a promotional video will also be looked into.

    fuel TreaTMeNT uPdaTe

    Three areas of the Nature Park have been receiving fuel treat-ments this summer and fall. Contractors hired by the City with fund-ing from the Province have been slashing and piling smaller conifer

    trees and coarse woody debris along Duck Pond Trail, on the southeast slope of Myr-tle Mountain and along Ponderosa Trail and Patterson Ridge. The intent is to thin the for-est and remove enough ground fuels to make any fire that does occur more controllable. Since natural fires (which would have done this thinning) have been suppressed for many decades, the treatments also help to restore some areas to a more natural state.

    Burning of the piles started in late Oc-tober and will continue through the fall. If snow comes early and in large quantities, some burning may need to wait till next spring. In the Duck Pond treatment area the contractor has re-ceived permission to mulch many of the piles rather than burn them. Using a grinding attachment on a small skid steer the material will be masticated and broadcast onto the for-est floor. Over the next few years the KNPS and City consultants will be able to compare the ef-fects of this mulching to the effects of pile burning and see how the natural vegetation regenerates. We expect fuel treatments to con-tinue in various parts of the Park in future years and understanding the pros and cons of partic-ular techniques will help us make better choices.

    lies, early childhood educators, child care operators, community

    stakeholders, business, First Nation and local government representa-tives who contributed to the findings of this re-

    Child care positions not being filled in East Kootenay

    The Kimberley Peewee A team is hosting their home tournament this weekend with competitive Peewee teams coming from Sylvan Lake, Calgary and the East Kootenays. Come out this weekend to watch some great hockey. Games are at the Civic Center and Marysville arenas Friday, all day Saturday and playoffs on Sunday. Your local Kimberley team plays Friday 2:30 at the Marysville Arena, Saturday 8 am a the Civic Center and 2:15 at the Marysville arena.

    port individually and collectively identified that East Kootenay com-munities are facing what can only be described as a significant child care challenge and crisis, the task force wrote.

    Bonnell said their are a number of both short term and long term solutions that could be accomplished by having governments and gov-erning bodies pool their resources. For short term, the resources could be used for things like wage compensation grants for provincially certified early child-hood educators and early childhood educa-tor assistants working in a accredited setting.

    In the long term, the pooled resources could be used for things like researching the viability of moving to a fully funded and supported apprenticeship designa-tion for early learning and child care in B.C.

    Coun. Danielle Car-dozo said she knows how hard it is to get day-care.

    Ive gone to the Col-lege of the Rockies and put three children into daycare, Cardozo said. My brother did not take me seriously, when his wife found out she was pregnant, I said as soon as you find out youre pregnant, you put your-

    self on the wait list.But she said he

    thought she was joking. I dont think people

    realize that you have to plan a year and a half to two years ahead, which is difficult, Cardozo said.

    She noted that some-thing like the au pair programs of the 80s could be a solution that is not often looked at.

    Not necessarily the ones who are working towards immigration, but young ladies from Europe who are very qualified, educated women who just want to come here for an experi-ence, Cardozo said. For families that do have an extra bedroom, who could provide room and board for that lady, it opens up the public childcare spots for those who dont have room.

    Bonnell said it hasnt been ruled out, but hasnt really been pur-sued either.

    That could be an initiative that the City of Cranbrook wants to take on and could create an au pair program and provide the supports for individuals to come to Cranbrook, she said. It could address in part some of the child care issues that are assessed.

    From Page 1We had a few accidents on the

    17th after that bit of a snow.A number of the accidents in-

    volved vehicles hitting ice, others in-volved careless driving and included charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. None of the accidents resulted in se-rious injuries.

    One occurred due to ice on the bridge at the Fort Steele turnpike on the morning of Nov. 18. A truck hit the icy bridge deck and went off the road. The driver was not injured.

    RCMP responded to seven assault complaints over the past week, three of those resulted in arrests. Two of calls were domestic in nature.

    From Page 1The Fire Department

    wouldnt do the work on private lands, but can evaluate and help you make a plan to make your property safer. If you did have a neigh-bourhood work party, the City could come in with the chipper to as-sist in getting rid of fuels.

    The Fire Depart-ments role is to evalu-ate, give suggestions, then re-evaluate and re-port to the province.

    The workshop will serve to identify and prepare prospective Community Champi-ons to lead their neigh-borhoods towards in-creased preparedness for wildfire.

    This will be achieved by providing individuals with the information to recognize wildfire haz-ards; an understanding

    A property before and after fire smart vegetation treatment.

    FireSmart meeting

    of simple FireSmart solutions; opportunities for networking with fire professionals and other concerned residents;

    and a supportive pro-cess for getting started on local projects to re-duce the risk of wildfire losses.

    For the townsman

    E veryone experiences a fall now and then. While most falls do not cause serious injury, oc-casionally we are reminded of how even a simple fall from standing can be catastrophic. Indeed, falls from standing height are the most common cause of inju-ry-related hospitalizations across the lifes-pan and the number one cause of injury-re-lated deaths in older adults. Falls are espe-cially devastating among older adults caus-ing over 90% of hip fractures and wrist frac-tures, and 60% of head injuries.

    There is no single reason why people fall. A fall usually occurs when several risk factors happen at the same time. For ex-ample, if you walk down the hallway in your home at a normal pace during the day, there is little chance you will fall. But if it is the middle of the night and there are no lights on, and you are rushing to get to the bathroom, your chances of falling are much greater.

    Many risk factors are within our control to change. Some people believe that falls are a normal part of aging, that no matter what they do, falls cant be prevented, or that it wont happen to them.

    The truth is, falls are not a normal part of aging. There are many things you can do to prevent falls.

    Keep your body activeBeing active is one of the most import-

    ant ways to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Activities that improve balance and coordination (like Tai Chi) are the most helpful. You are less likely to fall if you have strong muscles and good balance.

    Have your eyes checked by an optometrist once a year

    Poor vision can increase your chances of falling. Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have a condi-tion like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Also, clean your glasses often and be aware that the risk of falling outside and on stairs is increased when wearing

    bifocals or progressive lenses.

    Have your doctor or pharmacist review your medications

    Some medications can increase your chances of falling if you experience nega-tive side-effects, interactions between drugs, or errors in following prescription directions. Sedatives, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs can reduce men-tal alertness, worsen balance and gait, cause dizziness or drowsiness, and cause drops in blood pressure while standing.

    Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take (even over-the-counter medicines) and tell them if the medications you are taking are making you drowsy or dizzy.

    If you are taking blood thinners (e.g. Coumadin) and have a bump or blow to the head, you should be seen immediately by a health care provider due to increased risk of internal bleeding.

    Make your home saferThe majority of falls happen in our own

    homes while performing normal daily ac-tivities. Falls are often due to home haz-ards that are easy to overlook but easy to fix. To make your home safer:

    Remove small throw rugs or use dou-ble-sided tape to keep the rugs from slip-ping.

    Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool.

    Have grab bars put in next to your toilet and in the tub or shower.

    Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.

    Place a lamp close to the bed where its easy to reach.

    Put in a night-light so you can see where youre walking.

    Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare.

    Have handrails and lights put in on all

    staircases. Wear shoes both in-

    side and outside the house. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers.

    Through the month of November, Safe Communities Cranbrook has been hosting its second annual Fall Prevention Aware-ness Campaign. Local partners, volun-teers and service providers have hosted activities, workshops, meetings and social gatherings to bring attention to the signifi-cant risks associated with falls, and more importantly, to share simple things we can do to reduce them.

    This years activities run until Friday, November 27. Pick up a copy of the sched-ule at the information table in Tamarack Centre (Winners end, near Peoples Jewel-ers).

    For general online information about falls prevention go to www.findingbal-ancebc.ca

  • PAGE 6 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2015

    The fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the opposition NDP agreed to turn out the en-ergy-efficient lights and head for home.

    NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced PowerBC, billed as the NDPs bold, progressive plan for the fu-ture of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.

    Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he cant say how many.

    How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? The cost-ing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election, Horgan replied.

    Whatever the cost, the NDP plan appar-ently rests on the assumption that the $9 billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP govern-ment after the 2017 election. That money would be used to build wind and solar generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam.

    The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero. Construction of an ac-

    cess road started two months ago, site clearing and work camp construction a month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construction contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year.

    Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project.

    The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Site C twice, in the B.C. Su-preme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig

    River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lakes construction company has started work on a Site C contract.

    West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat.

    Flooding land for hydro dams does ele-vate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below feder-al guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish.

    Its an odd coincidence that Willson

    suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C.

    A coalition of U.S. and Canadian envi-ronment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy be-cause the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a carbon sink. Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook.

    They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they dont have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas.

    BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmis-sion line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland.

    If youre arguing that hydroelectricity isnt renewable power, youve already lost.

    Taylor rocc aHockey fans in Cran-

    brook were witness to the stellar performance of rookie goaltender De-clan Hobbs this past week and folks around the Western Hockey League took notice too.

    Monday afternoon, Hobbs, 17, was named the WHLs nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week honours after going 1-1-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and .957 save percent-age this past week.

    Hes steady, said Ice alternate captain Matt Alfaro Saturday night. I know I trust him and I know the rest of the team does.

    Hobbs opened his week with a 39-save ef-fort Tuesday in a 2-0 loss to the Everett Silvertips.

    From there, the 6-foot, 178-pound na-tive of Saskatoon earned his first-career WHL vic-tory by making 27 saves to backstop the Koote-nay Ice to a 2-1 triumph over the Swift Current Broncos Saturday night.

    It feels good to get that first one out of the way and hopefully theres more to come, Hobbs said Saturdays. It takes a load off my shoulders. I can feel bet-ter in the net now.

    En route to his first WHL win, Hobbs was called upon for a critical

    penalty-shot stop against Broncos forward Cavin Leth late in the second period.

    I couldnt be happier for the guy to finally get that [win], said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. We hav-ent given him a lot of run support so he knows how good hes got to be.

    Hes just so calm and composed right now.

    Hes controlling his rebounds really well and tracking really well. Our guys have full confi-dence in him in the net, which is nice.

    Hobbs is in his first full season with the Ice after making two ap-pearances during the 2014-15 campaign.

    In 2015-16, the for-mer Saskatoon Contact is 1-4-1-0 with a 3.44 GAA and .900 SP.

    In 10 career WHL ap-pearances, Hobbs is 1-4-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .896 SP.

    The Ice selected Hobbs in the third round (53rd overall) of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

    In addition to naming Hobbs as the leagues nominee for CHL Goal-tender of the Week, the WHL named Tyson Bail-lie of the Kelowna Rock-ets as Player of the Week.

    In three games, Bail-lie recorded three goals and seven points to help his Rockets go 3-0-0.

    Dynamiters captain Jason Richter battles in front of Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Orser and the Ghostriders snuck past the host Nitros 3-2 in overtime.

    Taylor rocc aSports Editor

    Hockey fans got some serious bang for their buck this weekend as KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre required overtime to reach decisions both Friday and Sunday.

    Friday night, it was the Fernie Ghostriders (13-9-0-2) scoring a 3-2 overtime win against the host Kimberley Dy-namiters (19-3-0-3), claiming round two of the clubs Eddie Moun-tain Division rivalry.

    In Sunday matinee play at the Civic Centre, the Dynamiters scraped out a 3-2 overtime win of their own, edging the visiting Sicamous Eagles (5-17-0-3).

    I thought we played extremely well. For a while there it looked like it was going to be anoth-er one of those games where I thought we dominated play and a goalie beat us, said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Sunday af-ternoon. [Kolby Pau-wels] played phenome-nal. But we stuck with it.

    I thought we cycled the puck well. It was a really good game for us.

    While the Nitros came out with two points from Sunday, that outcome was never certain as the two clubs went back-and-forth before California prod-uct Keenan Haase lit the lamp 28 seconds into overtime, scoring a feel-good goal to give his team the win.

    We needed to win that game, Haase said Sunday.

    Im glad my parents got to see a goal there this weekend, as theyre here.

    It definitely gives me a bunch of drive, es-pecially with them mak-ing that long flight from California. Ive got to play my best for them now that theyre there [in the crowd]. The mo-tivation was there and I just went with it.

    In the opening stages of overtime, the native of Mission Viejo, Calif., collected a puck down low in the corner before wheeling out untouched in front of Eagles goal-tender Kolby Pauwels and unleashing a hot shot over the netmind-

    ers shoulder.Keenan looks like a

    man amongst boys out there, Bancks said. He always wins puck battles, he stays on top of the puck. Hes a tremendous player and hes learning now to work hard to sup-port the D men.

    You can argue hes the best centreman in the league, in my opin-ion. Hes like a power centreman, which is kind of the new rage in hockey. I think hes got a bright future.

    For Haase, having family in the crowd wasnt his only motiva-tion to be the overtime catalyst Sunday.

    With a 2-1 lead on the board midway through the third peri-od, the 6-foot-2 power forward ultimately scored the primary as-sist on the tying goal for Sicamous as his errant pass sprung Danny ODonnell in alone on Tyson Brouwer for the game-tying goal.

    Dont pass to the other team for break-aways, Haase said of the greatest lesson he took from Sundays win.

    I let the second goal in. That was purely my fault.

    The tying goal from ODonnell eliminated the Nitros second one-goal advantage of the game, which had been conveniently provided by Taber, Alta., product Austyn Moser less than two minutes earlier.

    Veteran 20-year-old Eric Buckley opened the scoring in the first period and Eagles defenceman Alex Astasiewicz round-ed out the scoring with a second-period tally.

    Brouwer turned aside 22 shots for his KIJHL leading 15th win of the season, while Pauwels was rock solid on 32 of 35 shots in the Eagles net.

    Friday nights loss saw the Dynamiters sur-render a 2-0 lead as the Ghostriders scored three consecutive to steal the bonus point.

    Nitros captain Jason Richter opened the scor-ing in the first period, be-fore Trevor Van Stein-burg doubled the advan-tage early in the third.

    After that, Fernie captain Cole Keebler took over, spurring the

    visitors to victory. The 20-year-old na-

    tive of Calgary set up Zach Befus for the Rid-ers first goal, before knotting the game with 2:07 to play in regulation.

    Finally, Keebler com-pleted the comeback win for Fernie by depos-iting a power-play mark-er into the back of the net in overtime.

    Weve got to learn to take everyone in this league serious this time

    of year, Bancks said. This league improves. Every team improves.

    It gets better and you cant take anybody lightly. You have to strive to get better.

    I dont want any-body to be able to out-work us.

    The weekend brought about KIJHL debuts for a trio of Nitros affiliate players (AP).

    Friday, 16-year-old Terrell Clarricoates

    (Cranbrook) and 15-year-old Caige Ster-zer (Kimberley) made their Dynamiter debuts, while Rylan DEtchever-rey (Kimberley) skated as an AP Sunday.

    The Dynamiters will get back to work this week when they travel to Invermere to face the Columbia Valley Rockies (14-13-0-0) Friday be-fore hosting the Spokane Braves (4-19-0-4) Satur-day at the Civic Centre.

    ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone might be critical of your actions, but if you take his or her words with humor and understanding, you wont be of-fended. Use your instincts with your finances. Lady Luck will show up when dealing with a routine matter, and youll be all smiles. Tonight: Indulge a little. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel pressured by someone at a distance. As a result, you might become unre-sponsive for a while. Try not to be so serious with this person right now. Reach out to others who are feeling the same pres-sure -- youll be glad you did. Tonight: Do your own thing! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might need to heed your own counsel and play it low-key, despite a need to act on a creative idea. You can take action, but you dont need to make a public announcement. Avoid having a heavy discus-sion. Think through a decision. Tonight: Follow your sixth

    sense. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what you want from a loved one. You might be wit-nessing this persons transfor-mation, and want to let him or her know how you feel. Remain upbeat, no matter what occurs. Your words could change a sit-uation for the better. Tonight: Hang with your pals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Assume the role of leader. You might want to approach a work-related situation quite dif-ferently from how many others have. This originality makes you highly desirable in projects, as it tends to add to your success. Tonight: Tap into someone elses imaginative ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Look at the big picture before making any decisions. You might change your opinion as a result of having more insight. It wouldnt hurt to confirm what you think you are seeing with a friend in order to get some feedback. Tonight: A serious one-on-one talk pays off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

    You could be in a position where you want to change course in a financial matter. Give this idea some hard thought. Recognize that what originally was a good idea might not work for you now. Be graceful in a discussion. Tonight: Connecting with others might be difficult. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Youll want to make a close friend or associate feel valued. Understand that this person might be surprised by your ac-tions and could have difficulty responding gracefully. Try not to take his or her response per-sonally. Tonight: Accept an offer without making any comments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be saturated with options that you are not com-fortable with. A boss is likely to congratulate you on pursuing your present course. You could be in line for a pay raise or pro-motion. You seem to have diffi-culty relaxing. Tonight: Listen to your intuition. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Relate to an authority figure directly. You might want to ex-

    press an idea that you believe is helpful, even if you feel less than confident about it. A child or loved one appears to be somewhat difficult and touchy. Tonight: Let go of stress. Be more childlike. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be in a position where you have to stay close to home or deal with a family member directly. Plans might need to be adjusted accordingly. Reach out to a trusted friend or loved one. You will gain a better perspective as a result. Tonight: Avoid complications. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Dont hesitate to speak your mind. How you deal with others defines who you are. Be ready to head in a new direction, even if you dont want to. Ultimately, you will see the wisdom of let-ting go of what doesnt work. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. BORN TODAY Author William F. Buckley Jr. (1925), former U.S. President Zachary Taylor (1784), actress Katherine Heigl (1978)

    Dear Annie: I have been married for 50 years and dont think I can stand one more day. The man I am married to was once everything to me. Now, as each day passes, I grow more resentful. I like him less and less, almost to the point of hatred. He has always been a good provider. He worked while I stayed at home and raised our five children. Back then, I would never have expected him to come home and help around the house. But things are different now. Its just the two of us and our animals. We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this large five-bedroom house. He refuses to help with anything. He lies on the sofa and channel surfs while I do everything. There is nothing physically wrong with him. His doctor says hes in great shape. He shows no sign of mental decline, either. Downsizing to a smaller home is not an option for him. He likes it here. I have told him how I feel time and again, and that Id like his help around the house, but he just looks at me. Maybe he wants a divorce and is too cowardly to verbalize it. In any event, I am past the point of caring. I just want out. -- Old and Trapped Dear Trapped: Your husband may not want out. He may simply want to sit on the sofa while you do all the work. And you are doing it, so he sees no reason to change. You have some options: You can stop doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry for him, letting his clothes pile up and his food remain uncooked; you can look into hiring help; you can get counseling; you can seek legal counsel and leave, with or without a divorce. If your husband values the marriage, he will step up. If he doesnt, at least you will know and can plan your future accordingly. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from Need Some Relief, I thought Id share how our family handles Christmas with four adult children and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren (and an occasional visiting in-law). Dinner is at our house every year. Everyone participates by graciously bringing a dish. One sons family prepares the turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Another brings all the drinks. We prepare stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. Others bring apple and pumpkin pies. Traditional! We discuss dishes in advance, so there are no duplicates. It is such fun and each family feels good about sharing. New recipes are exchanged. We also decided to forego gift-giving and do a $5 Christmas exchange. We all sit in a circle holding our special number, anxiously awaiting our turn to pick the wrapped gift of our choice. Even the little ones screamed with delight, not at the gift, but because everyone was laughing and clapping. What a joyous occasion. Last, but not least, I insist on a group picture with everyone holding up their prized possessions. There is always a huge smile on each face. Because in the end it is being together that really matters. -- Happy in Florida Dear Happy: Your letter is refreshing. This is what holidays are all about. Or should be.
