ARNE PETRYSHENCamping fees are going up in
B.C.’s provincial campgrounds by $2 to $5 per night.
That will include popular pro-vincial campgrounds around the East Kootenay, such as Kikomun Creek Provincial Park and Norbury
Lake Provincial Park. The province said the price in-
crease is to maintain high service levels in the parks as visitors num-bers increase. The price increases will take effect March 15, 2015.
Mary Polak, Minister of Envi-ronment, said the increase comes
after years of investing in capital projects aimed at attracting young families, offering new recreation opportunities and increasing atten-dance in provincial parks.
“By increasing user fees in campgrounds, campers who use the parks system are helping to
keep it sustainable for future gener-ations to enjoy,” Polak said.
She noted that over the past five years, BC Parks has invested ap-proximately $60 million in park fa-cilities, and has approximately $700 million of investment in infrastruc-ture that requires maintenance.
Fee increases are nominal to en-sure camping remains affordable for families and visitors enjoying B.C.’s world class parks system - one of the largest protected areas systems in the world.
ARNE PE TRYSHENThere’s a warm spell
coming to the East Kootenay this week as the forecast for Monday is a high of 16 de-grees.
Lisa Coldwells, meteorol-ogist with Environment Canada, noted that all of Southeast corner is looking at remarkable warm tem-peratures.
“In fact all of B.C. is going to be underneath some very warm air,” Coldwells said. “That’s due to the Pineapple Express that’s now on the Coast. It’s bringing in warm,
moist air.”The source of the Pineap-
ple Express moisture is the Hawaiian islands.
“It’s a stream of atmo-spheric moisture,” she said.
She noted that all of the precipitation — in this case copious amounts of rain — is falling on the West Coast.
“Once that rain has wrung itself out of the
clouds, that warm air moves over the province and sub-sides over the mountains and as it comes down it warms,” she said.
The warmest days are forecast to be Sunday and Monday. Coldwells said the Monday high of 16 degrees may be a bit optimistic.
“I would say that 13 or 14 degrees is definitely not out of the realm of possibility,” she said. “If that happened — if it did crack 14 — that would be the highest ever temperature ever recorded in January.”
She noted the last record was 13.9 degrees on Jan. 24, 2005.
“We’re definitely moving into records territory with this warm air moving in,” she said.
The Pineapple Express situation happens a couple of times a year. The 2005 warm spell had a number of days surrounding that high that likely came from a simi-lar weather situation.
“It’s going to be extremely mild for this time of year,” she said. “The normal day-time temperature for Cran-brook is -6.1 in January. You can see even if we get to 12 you’re 15-20 degrees above normal.”
But things get colder near the end of the week, where she said highs will be more like two degrees.
“We’ll just have to sit and wait and see if we actually get that warm, and in the meanwhile we’ll enjoy the mild temperatures for the end of January,” she said.
All aboard the Pineapple ExpressTemperatures expected to soar into the double digits this week, Environment Canada says

The creator and star of the wildly popular televi-sion sitcom “Corner Gas” is coming to Cranbrook.
B.C. Interior audiences will get a chance to see and hear Brent Butt up close and personal when he takes his stand-up act on the road next May. That will include a stop at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on May 12 at 7:30 p.m.
Butt became known in Canada for his clean and relaxed comedic style, and after several tv specials, he created “Corner Gas” in 2004, and starred in the role of Brent Leroy. The series was an instant hit for CTV, becoming the top sitcom on Canadian television and eventually aired in 26 coun-tries. The final season for the show was 2009, but the show continues to maintain its popularity today, with constant reruns on the Comedy Network and CTV. “Corner Gas” received Gemini awards, Canadian Comedy awards, Director’s Guild awards, Leo awards and was voted the “Funni-est Show on TV”, by TV
Guide readers. Just this past Christmas season, “Corner Gas: The Movie” hit the big screen. It was originally given a limited run in select cities, but became so popu-lar with fans that it was given a longer run with ad-ditional cities added to its distribution.
In an uncommon move, the return to Dog River with its beloved cast, also made its network broadcast debut on the Movie Network, CTV and the comedy Network in the same month as its theat-rical release.
Brent Butt was born and raised in the small farming community of Tisdale, Sas-katchewan. Brent honed his comedic storytelling prow-ess at the local coffee shop, and his career, which was the subject of an episode of the cultural affairs program, Adrienne Clarkson Pres-ents, is an interesting one. He has become a regular at Just For Laughs, as well as appearing on numerous na-tional and international television programs. Aside from his own national spe-cial, Bedtime with Brent Butt, he has been seen on A
and E, HBO, CBC, CTV, and Global. Butt has appeared in various productions in-cluding Kids in the Hall, The X-Files, Cold Squad, Millennium, and the movie, Duets, starring Gwyneth Paltrow. He was named “Best Male Stand-Up in Canada” at the 2001 Cana-dian Comedy Awards, and has hosted the Juno Awards. In 2013, Brent was hon-oured with a Queen Eliza-beth 11 Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to community and country.
Making his home in Van-couver, Brent Butt contin-ues to tour the country per-forming in theatres and clubs. “I love what I do,” Butt says. “I look at it as just having coffee. Only now it’s with hundreds of people at a time.”
Tickets for a memorable night of comedy with Brent Butt live, and special guest Jamie Hutchinson, go on sale Friday, January 30, at the Key City Theatre box of-fice or call 250-426-7006, or on line at www.keycitythe-atre.com. It is a presenta-tion of the Kootenay Con-cert Connection.

It was a roast and then some for Cran-brook’s Citizen of the Year at the inaugural Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce meeting on Friday eve-ning at the Heritage inn.
Derek Kortschaga, the program director with B-104 Total Coun-try radio station in Cranbrook, was recog-nized for his communi-ty service over the past year as part of a dinner to swear in the new 2015 chamber board.
Kortschaga, who was given the chair of hon-our up at the front of the room, received all sorts of heckling from MCs Jason Wheeldon and D’Arcy Kennedy as the night wore on.
Each table had a ‘Kortsch-Kube’ — a cube with images of Kortschaga on each side along with a list of com-munity events he par-ticipated in last year, in-cluding shaving his head for the Relay for Life, being Mr. October in the BC SPCA 2015 calendar, boxing Cran-brook Eagles Boxing Club coach Tom White in the 2nd annual Fight Night for Charity and being Santa Claus at the Dodge kids Christmas party.
Kortschaga endured the ribbing from Kenny Bridge, Steve Mercan-delli and others who came up to recognize his contributions to the community before ad-dressing the crowd himself.
“When I was told I got this honour this year, I was speechless and I remember Kenny Bridge last year, when he was told that we won the award he was speechless,” Kortschaga joked. “I think there’s a conspiracy afoot to shut us up.”
Kortschaga drew back into his childhood, noting that he moved 20 times in 17 years as his father served in the Ca-nadian military. For the last 20 years, he has called Cranbrook home, the longest he has ever lived in one place.
Kortschaga said his father taught him the importance of being in-volved in the commu-
nity. “He was a soldier, he
followed orders, he gave orders, but the lesson he taught me was un-spoken: take care of those who can’t take care of themselves,” Kortschaga said. “He never spoke those few words, but his actions wrote novels.”
He acknowledged local businesses and charity organizations, as well as his co-work-ers at the radio station, and said they all stood alongside him.
“They always thank me for helping them, but I do it for selfish reasons. I get great en-joyment from working with different people and causes, and I con-tinue to learn new things,” Korstchaga said.
“I get more than I give.”
Bridge and Mercan-delli noted they are in-volved in many com-munity events, but it is Kortschaga who is often the face of whatever is happening.
“Derek’s always been a great ambassador for many events,” Mercan-delli said. “Honestly, he doesn’t volunteer, we volunteer him. Basical-ly, we organize the event and we call up Derek and say, ‘Hey Derek, guess what? You’re in.’”
“He never backs out, he’s always there in a second and ready to go to do something.”
That sentiment was confirmed by Jason Caven, the sales manag-er at the radio station.
“He constantly and consistently is taking the lead to help orga-nize and help connect other businesses to be a part of it,” said Caven.
“I think Ken Bridge and Steve Mercandelli can talk about many items and events that have been organized where maybe people in the community see it as their idea, but I can tell you it’s that man [Korts-chaga] that has helped spearhead it and put it together.”
Before the celebra-tion of Kortschaga’s Cit-izen of the Year award, the new 2015 chamber of commerce board was
sworn in by Coun. Wes Graham, who served as acting mayor.
David Struthers is serving as the new chamber president, while Chris Thom and Chris Botterill are the first and second vice-presidents. Jean-nette Sissons is the trea-surer, while Dave Butler is the past president.
The new directors are: Brenna Baker, Jason Fast, Brian Rhodes, Ni-cole Anker, Jane Camp-bell, Carrie Schafer, Igor Gallyamov, Ryan Gib-bard, Joey Hoechsmann and Heather Jackson.
“I’m really excited about the opportunities and challenges that our organization will face in 2015,” said Struthers. “I know that with a very strong staff comple-ment and exceptional board of directors, a bunch of dedicated vol-unteers and a very strong and growing membership, that we’re certainly up to the task and looking forward to the year.
“Earlier today, the chamber directors and staff met to review the priorities that we estab-lished in 2014 and we developed a strategic plan for 2015. I can tell you that the priorities that we’ve identified over the last couple years—which is around maintaining relevance to members, working on areas of advocacy and economic develop-ment—will continue to be key priorities for 2015.”

C aroLyn gr anTAs you read this,
Kimberley’s Colin Ferrie is in Kazakhstan repre-senting Canada at the Under 23 World Cross Country Ski Champion-ships.
This is a big deal for Ferrie, his first interna-tional competition, aside from a few in the States.
He dropped by the Bulletin last Friday, the day before his 32 hour flight to Kazakhstan.
Ferrie is excited at the upcoming competi-tion, interested in see-ing how he matches up against the best in the world — including a couple of Norwegian skiers he says blew him away in Quebec a few years ago. He thinks he will be quite a bit more competitive now.
Ferrie is still young for cross country skiing. The Under 23 champi-
onships are for the up and coming skiers, not the Olympic level. Cross country skiing is a sport where maturity matters. Rather than washed up at 23, a racer is just be-ginning.
“In cross-country, the best skier right now is turning 31 this year,” Ferrie said. “It’s more of a late-maturing sport.”
A future Olympics is definitely a dream, but Ferrie says that is a little far off right now.
“Making the U23 World Championship team is a stepping stone to the Olympics,” he said.
Ferrie has been on skis since he was very young, his parents start-ing him on both cross-country and downhill skis.
I asked him what made him stick to cross-country when many of his friends
chose downhill.“I always had a drive
to push myself hard,” he said. “Downhill just didn’t have the thrill of pushing myself to ex-haustion. It didn’t have the same competitive feel to me.”
Ferrie is devoting his life to cross country right now. In the sum-mers, he works almost full time and gets in 25 to 30 hours of training a week, while living with Mom and Dad. In the winter, he skis with the Black Jack team in Ross-land, though he wears Kimberley Nordic Club colours in races. Winter is full time racing and training as he follows the NorAm circuit.
Ferrie has a few sponsors and with re-sults getting better he may get carded this year, something he looks for-ward to for a little help.

Last week the Kimberley Nordic Club recognized the achievements of members of the Nordic Club. A cheque from the Kimberley Nordic Club and the City of Kimberley was presented to Colin Ferrie by Frank Ackermann to support his racing.
Ferrie in Kazakhstan at U23 world championships
da selected him to the U23 team based on being first on the dis-
tance ranking list (189.34 CPL); this in-cluded third place finish
in the skiathlon and sec-ond place in the 15K freestyle.
He definitely consid-ers himself a distance skier, but recent good results in the sprints as well, now have Ferrie describing himself as an all round skier.
Kimberley cross-country skier making great strides
When Ferrie returns from Kazakhstan, he heads a week later to the Canada Games in Prince George, repre-senting British Colum-bia again.
He will be joined by Kimberley Nordic Club team-mate Molly Miller.
“Four years ago I just snuck onto the BC team at 17. Molly is only 13. She is phenomenal.”

that significantly altered the size of Kootenay-Co-lumbia Federal Constit-uency, by now including Nelson, Salmo, and Kaslo, made it necessary for the National Conser-vative Party to open a nomination process to select the candidate for the next general elec-tion.
Every Conservative party member of the riding was notified by mail from the national office that a nomination process would take place, with a specific closing date. In prepa-ration the local Electoral District Association chose a candidate selec-tion committee to inter-view prospective appli-cants, for the position currently held by M.P. David Wilks. National Party headquarters then informed us that they had only received one complete application, by the close of the desig-nated time.
The local nomina-tion committee then in-
MP David Wilks
Wilks unopposed for Conservative nomination in
Kootenay-Columbia
terviewed David Wilks and unanimously ap-proved him. The district association now de-clares that our current MP David Wilks is ac-claimed the candidate for the next election.
The Kootenay-Co-lumbia AGM elected more than twenty direc-tors who have now cho-sen Dave Reeves (Cran-brook) as president, Garry Kalinski (Nelson) as Vice, to be assisted by Sandy McLeod (Koote-nay Lake), Judy Wiw-char (Cranbrook) as secretary, and Gary Habart (Golden) as trea-surer.
While the fee sched-ule varies, the vast ma-jority of provincial campsites will see a $2 per night increase, while others will see slightly larger increase in price, to a maximum of $5 per night. The last sys-tem-wide increase was in 2010.
The increase is ex-pected to generate $1.3 million this year for B.C.’s protected areas system. All revenue from the increased fees will be put back into maintaining and en-hancing the parks sys-tem.
There are no increas-es to fees for sani-sta-
tions, mooring buoys, backcountry camping, picnic shelters, or group camping.
Parking remains free in all provincial parks.
There are 1,029 pro-vincial parks, recreation areas, conservancies, ecological reserves and protected areas in B.C., covering more than 14 million hectares or ap-proximately 14.4% of the provincial land base.
B.C. provincial parks receive over 21 million visits each year.

s u b m i t t e dSince 2010, Water
Smart communities in the Columbia Basin have steadily reduced local water consump-tion—and academics, experts and utility pro-fessionals from across Canada are taking note.
Water Smart is a Co-lumbia Basin Trust water conservation program that helps re-gional districts and municipalities in the Basin address their local water conserva-tion needs. Its aim is to achieve a 20 per cent Basin-wide reduction in community water consumption by 2015.
While the Basin faces the same chal-lenges as other re-gions—including re-ducing water loss from leaking pipes and edu-cating the public about conserving water—Water Smart’s da-ta-based and prob-lem-solving model has supported measurable demand reduction in the 26 participating communities, and the model is transferrable to other regions and
utilities. “Basin communi-
ties are becoming leaders in this area and it’s really rewarding for these communities to share their innovative work—and to have others learn from their water conservation successes,” said Mere-dith Hamstead, Water Smart Coordinator.
In 2014, the Water Smart team showcased Basin efforts at three conferences.
The first was the As-sociation of Kootenay Boundary Local Gov-ernments conference in Creston in April. Here, the Water Smart team gave an update and was pleased to find that elected offi-cials are very aware of and supportive of the program. Elected offi-cial support for water conservation is an es-sential element of suc-cess in the long term.
In May the team at-tended the BC Water and Waste Association conference in Whistler. Here they presented to delegates from around the province, few of which were aware of
Water Smart. The focus was on “water loss man-agement,” an essential but often overlooked water utility best prac-tice that reduces the amount of water lost through leaks in munic-ipal pipes. By address-ing this type of loss, Basin communities have achieved water savings ranging from 5 to 40 per cent of total annual supply, and have reduced infra-structure wear and tear and operating costs—which together support
infrastructure resilience and sustainability.
Finally, Water Smart presented at the Cana-dian Rural Revitaliza-tion Foundation con-ference in Prince George in September.
“Part of the partici-pating communities’ success has to do with Water Smart’s model of regional collaboration supporting local action. While our presentation highlighted case stud-ies of success in Basin communities, two other presenters highlighted
Water Smart itself as a successful case study for effective collabora-tion supporting water utility sustainability,” said Hamstead. “The work being done in the Basin has gained atten-tion, not only for the amazing local water conservation out-comes, but as an exam-ple for how communi-ties in a very large re-gion can collaborate ef-fectively.”

Much of the spectacular scenery that makes British Columbia a beautiful place to live and work
can be attributed to its unique and dynamic geology. An important and significant ben-efit of this ever-evolving natural landscape is the wealth of mineral treasures that have formed as result of geological activity. And B.C.’s geographically favourable position next to the Pacific Ocean makes it a globally important trading province for the citizens of B.C. and the rest of Canada.
From the rich zinc-lead-silver deposits of the south-east, such as the famously large, high grade and long-lasting Sullivan mine deposit near Kimberley, to the Golden Triangle in the northwest which hosts among the highest number of, and richest, copper-gold deposits on Earth, every region in B.C. is fortunate to have world-class mineral resources. But we must not take this fact for granted. The Golden Triangle, made famous by the Eskay Creek gold-silver deposit, is home to significant base and precious metal proj-ects such as KSM, Brucejack, Schaft Creek and Galore Creek, among many more. The completion of the Northwest Transmis-sion line (which will power the soon-to-open Red Chris copper-gold mine) has provided much needed infrastructure to this region, while mineral exploration and development is expected to continue to expand. And the potential of the Site C dam and hydroelectric project in the northeast to provide clean, low-cost power across the province will also act as a major catalyst to attract investment in mineral exploration and development for genera-tions.
The Kootenays have always been at-
tractive to prospectors and mineral devel-opers. The Cranbrook area, as well as the Grand Forks, Rossland, Slocan, Silverton, New Denver, Kaslo, Revelstoke, Castlegar and Nelson-Ymir-Salmo areas, have a much deserved mineral exploration and development heritage. In recent years, in addition to the ongoing industrious activi-ty of Teck’s zinc and lead smelter in Trail, the Kootenays have seen increased explo-ration activity with Santa Fe Metals’ Sully and Iron Range projects, Eagle Plains’
Findlay project and Dis-covery Ventures’ Willa project. These projects have benefited greatly from local community support, with Cranbrook’s East Koo-tenay Chamber of Mines and Nelson’s Chamber of Mines of Eastern BC lead-
ing the way during the annual Minerals South conference.
With such exceptional mineral wealth comes a plethora of expertise to support exploration and development. British Co-lumbia has the largest concentration of exploration companies and geoscientists in the world. It is also home to global lead-ers in academic research. Along with being renowned as the assaying capital of the world, there are more than 2,000 explora-tion and development service and supply companies, including legal and account-ing firms, that call this province home. This extensive business cluster means the in-dustry is at the forward edge of exploration practices allowing for smarter, more effi-cient, cost-effective and environmentally conscientious projects.
B.C. also has the infrastructure to sup-port mineral exploration and develop-ment. B.C. citizens are served by a well-maintained water, rail and road net-
work connecting us east and west to the rest of Canada and north and south to the United States — the world’s largest econo-my. And the coastline is dotted with deep-sea ports that are natural gateways to re-source-hungry economies in Asian coun-tries.
That advanced exploration work is tak-ing place at historically high levels in B.C. as our province continues to attract signif-icant investment, especially in copper, zinc, gold and silver projects. In 2014 it is estimated that B.C. attracted nearly 21 per cent of exploration spending across Cana-da, which is up from 11 per cent during the 2008-09 recession.
It is true the industry has been affected by the current cyclical downturn in global markets and metal prices. Companies have been scaling back their operations to adjust to the venture capital crisis and lower commodity prices. At the same time, many are preparing for future growth through strategic planning and invest-ments. That being said, there are many experienced companies and excellent projects that continue to work and ad-vance even in these tough times. They know better than anyone else that what goes down must eventually come up. So when the minerals cycle enters its inevita-ble upswing, B.C., including the Kootenay region, will be very well positioned, as it rightfully should be, at the top of the list of places to responsibly explore for the min-eral riches the world needs.
Gavin C. Dirom is President & CEO of the Association for Mineral
Exploration BC (AME BC) hosts its Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015
conference in Vancouver from January 26 to 29, 2015. See amebc.ca for details.

S u b m i t t e d EKFH’s annual Star-
lite Campaign and the focus on equipment for the regional hospital’s intensive care unit got a beautiful gift this past week.
The Royal Canadian Legion #24 is no strang-er to showing its sup-port to the foundation and its various fund-raising campaigns. Re-cently RCL #24 Presi-dent Clive Brown pre-sented a cheque of $11,088 to EKFH. The donation is allocated to purchase a blood gas analyzer for the new 6-bed intensive care unit currently under construction at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.
The equipment is used to analyze the red blood cells transport of oxygen and carbon di-oxide blood gases throughout the body. The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels of the blood and pH balance of blood can indicate the presence of certain medical conditions, such as cardiac, lung or kidney disorders and

GUESt CoLUMn
erwin malzerIt is with great enthusiasm
that I step into my new role as Interior Health Board Chair. In the spirit of new beginnings, I want to provide some high-lights from the past year and an update moving forward.
Last year saw many mile-stones, not the least of which was within our cardiac surgery program. Although based in Kelowna, it serves the entire region, allowing people to re-ceive surgery closer to home rather than travelling to the Lower Mainland. In November, the program marked comple-tion of its 1,000th open heart surgery. More than 1,000 sur-geries and the outcomes have been excellent. The team has really raised the bar and has already been receiving awards.
Building on our successful surgical program, the new Inte-rior Heart & Surgical Centre (IHSC) currently under con-struction in Kelowna will bene-
fit patients across Interior Health by providing the highest level of medical care ever seen in the Interior, through an inte-grated critical care facility sup-ported by a full range of clinical supports. The IHSC opens to patients in September 2015.
In Cranbrook, the $20 mil-lion redevelopment at East Kootenay Regional Hospital continues to move forward, in-cluding a new, expanded In-tensive Care Unit and a signifi-cant electrical upgrade for the site.
As in other places in the world, particularly rural areas, recruitment for physicians and expert staff remains a chal-lenge. To further support our communities in ongoing re-cruitment efforts, Interior Health recently created the Guide to Successful Long-term Physician Recruitment and Re-tention. This guide is now available on the Better Here physician recruitment website
and is a great resource to sup-port family physician and spe-cialist recruitment.
Looking forward, we can ex-pect to see an even greater focus on health promotion, primary care, integrated com-munity care and chronic dis-ease management to further decrease demand on hospital and residential services. There has been great collaboration occurring between hospitals, family doctors in local Divi-sions of Family Practice, and community programs.
We continue to promote im-proved public health as that keeps people home where they want to be and helps relieve pressure on hospitals.
We are also embracing new approaches to care. For exam-ple, last year we launched a new surveillance nurse pro-gram, where nurses check in and monitor low risk clients via regular phone calls. Interior Health has and will continue to
be at the forefront of using technology to meet patient needs. The use of telehealth has grown to include more than 20 different medical fields, with nearly 55,000 patient uses per year throughout Interior Health.
In closing I’d like to recog-nize the incredible people that make up Interior Health. We have 1,500 physicians, 19,500 staff and over 4,800 volunteers, each one dedicated to doing all they can to contribute to the provision of quality care. Health care is fascinating and complex. It touches each of us at one time or another, often while we are at our most vul-nerable time. I am very proud to do my part in helping guide the organization as we meet new challenges and celebrate our successes.

Mountain of milestonesMemorable weekend for Ice with wins over Broncos & Cougars
Chris Pullen Photo/CranbrookPhoto.Com
Forward Jaedon Descheneau corrals a puck in front of Swift Current Broncos netminder Landon Bow Saturday. Descheneau went on to score the 100th goal of his WHL career on the play. Descheneau and the Ice collected four points over the weekend, with wins over the Broncos & Prince George Cougars.
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
A mountain of mile-stones began to rise Sat-urday night at Western Financial Place as the Kootenay Ice were set to host the Swift Current Broncos in the 1,200th regular-season game in franchise history.
En route to a 5-2 vic-tory over the Broncos, Kootenay Ice forwards Levi Cable, Jaedon De-scheneau and Austin Vetterl all hit major ca-reer marks.
Sunday night, in a 7-4 victory over the Prince George Cougars, rookies Keelan Williams and Austin Wellsby pounced on opportuni-ties to claim WHL firsts.
Saturday against the Broncos, Cable was the man to get the ball roll-ing.
The 20-year-old na-tive of Hudson Bay, Sask., is in the midst of a career season, having tallied 22 goals and 37 points, both career highs. Saturday night, he factored into the opening goal against the Broncos, earning the 100th point of his WHL career.
“It’s something I was hoping for from the start
of the season,” Cable said Saturday night. “It’s nice to get it out of the way. Now I can just focus on getting to playoffs.”
Cable worked the puck back to the point, finding Tanner Lish-chynsky, who sent a shot towards Broncos goaltender Landon Bow. Luke Philp man-aged to redirect the point shot to give the Ice a 1-0 advantage.
Next on the list of milestone men was De-scheneau.
The 19-year-old Ed-monton native took a bouncing puck and re-directed it with his skate past Bow to double the hosts lead, collecting his 100th WHL goal in the process. After being called a good goal on the ice, the play was briefly reviewed before it was confirmed.
“It’s a good thing to get in this league,” said the St. Louis Blues pros-pect Saturday night. “It’s an honour. It’s a hard league to score goals in. I’ve always taken pride in my scoring ability, but obviously I couldn’t have done it without my teammates. They get me the puck. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be able
to do it.”Descheneau added
another goal Sunday against the Prince George Cougars, bring-ing his career numbers to 101 goals and 248 points in 240 WHL games.
Fresh off a trip to the BMO CHL Top Pros-pects Game, Broncos forward Jake DeBrusk -- son of former NHLer Louie DeBrusk -- chipped in a pair of goals for the Broncos, one in the first period and the other on the power play late in the second period.
Vetterl, an overage forward, was the third and final Ice player to hit a major milestone Saturday night against the Broncos as he played in his 250th WHL game. The native of Surrey, B.C., marked the night with a pair of crucial goals.
After both of De-Brusk’s tallies for the visitors, Vetterl was there to restore his team’s two-goal advan-tage, scoring in the sec-ond period and short-handed early in the third period. Vetterl’s first of the night stood as the eventual game-win-
ning marker.“Sam [Reinhart] saw
me and he made a great pass to me,” Vetterl said of his breakaway winner Saturday night. “I came in and shot it -- it hit the goalie in the glove at first. I thought I didn’t score. Then it trickled in behind the goalie. Nice to get a little luck on my side finally.”
Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 22 stops for his 25th victory of the season. At the other end, Bow was victim-ized five times on 35 shots in a losing effort.
After Hoflin claimed his 25th win of the sea-son, he gave way for
backup goaltender Kee-lan Williams Sunday night against the Prince George Cougars.
With his mother in the crowd, the rookie puck-stopper from Cal-gary turned in a 26-save performance, leading his team to a 7-4 victory over the Cougars. The win was the first of Wil-liams’ WHL career.
“It’s a huge weight off of my shoulders,” said the 6-foot-2 goaltender Sunday evening. “I think I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself over the last little bit just to try and get that first win. It’s re-ally exciting. I’m really happy and I’m really
thankful for the way my teammates played in front of me tonight. It’s a great feeling.
“It was really special to have my mom out and get her to see that. I actu-ally didn’t even know I was starting [against Prince George]…I walked into the arena [Sunday afternoon] and I saw my name on the board. I just thought, ‘Okay, I’ve got to go get this win while she’s out here so she can see it.’”
The opportunities for that first career win have been few and far be-tween for Williams, as Wyatt Hoflin has han-dled the lion’s share of
the work this season. Williams’ last start
came Jan. 10, a 6-3 loss to the Saskatoon Blades. Prior to that, he hadn’t started a game since a 5-2 loss in Saskatoon Oct. 22. Even having only appeared in nine games, the 19-year-old Williams is savouring the chance to learn be-hind a veteran keeper like Hoflin.
“He’s a great goalten-der and one thing that he’s really good at is being calm and playing in his technical game,” Williams said of Hoflin. “He’s a really calm goal-tender and he’s done really well. He practices hard and he’s really good at preparing for games. That’s one thing I can really learn from him and take into my own game. I’m really lucky to have him as a goaltending partner.”
Williams wasn’t the only member of the Ice to record a career first Sunday evening.
With a 4-2 lead mid-way though the second period, Tyler King un-loaded a cannon of a slapshot, snapping his stick in half. As the shot made its way towards Cougars goaltender Tavin Grant, rookie Aus-tin Wellsby got a piece of the puck, redirecting it past the Cougars goal-tender for a 5-2 Ice lead. The goal was the first of Wellsby’s career and went on to stand as the game-winning tally Sunday night.

For The TowNsmaN
The Parkland Middle School Grade 9 girls bas-ketball team placed third in tournament action this past weekend in Sparwood.
The Raiders dropped a narrow defeat against Fernie, falling 31-28 in the tournament semifinal
before topping Invermere 36-27 to claim third place.Last week, the Raiders traveled to Creston for
tournament play, finishing second.Next up, the girls host their own home tourna-
ment at Parkland Middle School in Cranbrook.The Raiders are coached by Candice Conroy and
Steve Newhouse.
“It’s nice to get the first one out of the way,” Wellsby said Sunday, with a face full of shav-ing cream courtesy of Descheneau.
The 6-foot-3 native of Chilliwack, B.C., was ac-tive on the scoresheet and the fight card Sun-day, dropping the mitts with Cougars forward Kody McDonald later in the game.
“It’s my job, right now, to play physical and get momentum
going for the guys,” Wellsby said. “If I’m not going to be playing a whole lot I’ve got to at least do my part.”
Wellsby’s first-career WHL goal comes in his 36th career WHL game. The rookie forward skat-ed in five games with the Ice last season and has dressed in 31 games so far this season.
Apart from Wellsby’s defining moment, three Ice forwards registered three-point nights
against the Cou-gars. Philp (3A),
Descheneau (1G, 2A) and Tim Bozon (2G, 1A) helped fuel the offense, while Reinhart (2A) and Cable (2G) chipped in as well.
“It was awesome,” Bozon said. “[Wellsby] hasn’t played in a while and he jumps back in the lineup, uses his body, plays physical and he gets rewarded.
“That’s going to help him a lot. A lot of confi-dence for the kid. I know
he’s working hard in practice even though he’s not playing [a lot]. It’s nice to see a guy like that scoring. Everybody is happy for him.”
The pair of wins pushes the Ice (26-22-0-1, 53 points) up the WHL’s Central Division standings into fourth place, ahead of the Ed-monton Oil Kings (22-21-4-2, 50).
Next up, the Ice visit the Lethbridge Hurri-canes Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Milestone weekend
sTepheN whyNoCanadian Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The cannon at Nation-wide Arena got a work-out as the 2015 NHL all-star game broke the re-cord for goals in the event with 29.
Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 in the mid-season exhibi-tion featuring many of hockey’s top stars play-ing shinny with no hit-ting, no defence and no mercy for goaltenders.
John Tavares of the New York Islanders be-came the sixth player in all-star game history with four goals, joining the elite company of Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Gartner and Dany Heat-ley. Former Columbus Blue Jackets winger Jakub Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers tied Mario Lemieux’s 1988 record with six points on three goals and three as-
sists.Ryan Johansen of the
host Blue Jackets was named MVP.
The previous to-tal-goals record was set in 2001 when North America beat the World 14-12.
Under this format of captains Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Black-hawks and Nick Foligno picking their teams in an all-star draft, many re-cords fell: the fastest two, three and four goals in
the game’s history and most goals in a period.
Toews and fellow Ca-nadian Olympian Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins each had five points.
Notes - Tyler Johnson of the Tampa Bay Light-ning missed the game because of a lower-body injury. ... Fall Out Boy played during the first intermission and O.A.R. in the second. ... Next year’s all-star weekend is in Nashville.

Canadian PressSAN MIGUEL DE
ALLENDE, Mexico - Leg-endary figure skater Toller Cranston, a six-time na-tional champion whose unique artistic vision for-ever changed the sport, has died. He was 65.
Cranston, who won bronze medals at the 1974 world championships in Munich and the 1976 Innsbruck Olympics, died at his home in Mexico from an apparent heart attack, a Skate Canada spokesperson said Satur-day.
“It’s sad to hear that,” former Canadian champ Mike Slipchuk said from this year’s national cham-pionships in Kingston, Ont. “Toller was the face of skating, what he did for skating in Canada and skating in the world is where we are now - really forcing the creative side of the sport.
“He was the one who really pushed those limits forward.”
Cranston, who was born in Hamilton and grew up in Kirkland Lake, Ont., and Montreal, never won an Olympic or world title but his dramatic showmanship had a pro-found impact on figure skating.
He later settled in Mexico and focused on his art, with his work ex-hibited in galleries and museums around the world.
Cranston was known for his biting sense of hu-mour. He once laughingly commented to The Cana-dian Press about world champion Patrick Chan: “I don’t think I could watch him skate live, I’d commit suicide out of de-pression at how good he is.”
Slipchuk, who serves as Skate Canada’s
high-performance direc-tor, said he’ll cherish his memories of Cranston.
“He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met,” he said. “He had a great sense of humour, it was always an entertain-ing day to see what story we were going to hear that day.”
Cranston won national titles from 1971 to ‘76 and placed second at the 1971 North American champi-onships in Peterborough, Ont. He won Skate Cana-da International events in 1973 and ‘75.
He finished fourth at the 1975 world champion-ships in Colorado Springs, and was fourth again a year later in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Cranston was 26 when he reached the Olympic podium at the 1976 Win-ter Games. He was later inducted into the Canadi-an Olympic Hall of Fame,
Legendary Canadian figure skater Toller Cranstron dead at 65
Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1977.
In 1995, he received a Special Olympic Order from the Canadian Olym-pic Committee. Cranston
was also an illustrator, au-thor, designer, choreogra-pher and sports commen-tator.
Autopsy results were pending. There was no immediate word on fu-neral plans.
Toller Cranston was bronze medallist at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria.
C anadian PressEDMONTON - For-
mer Wildrose leader Danielle Smith says she should have waited to hear from Albertans be-fore she and other cau-
cus members crossed the floor to join the gov-erning Progressive Con-servatives.
Smith took to Face-book on Saturday to say she’s sorry that she “did
not take more time to allow Albertans to con-sider and debate the idea of reunification be-fore Wildrose MLAs joined the PC Caucus.”
She goes on to state
that in hindsight, “it is clear that there needed to be more engagement and discussion to pre-pare Albertans for this change.”
In December, Smith
led eight of her MLAs across the floor to join Premier Jim Prentice’s government, leaving just five Wildrose mem-bers to be the official Opposition.
Smith says in the Facebook post that she has no regrets about quitting as Opposition leader.
She says it became clear to her at the Wil-drose annual general meeting last fall that the membership was more interested in being a protest party than be-coming government.
She confirms in the post that she will seek the PC nomination for Highwood in southern Alberta, the seat she currently holds.
“It has been just over a month since I and a majority of my Wildrose colleagues made the decision to start a pro-cess to unify conserva-tives under the leader-ship of Premier Jim Prentice. It has not gone as expected. It has not been an easy path. It has angered a lot of people,” Smith stated in the post.
“For that I am truly sorry.”
Smith said in the post that she had hoped that the Wildrose execu-tive committee would put a motion for unifica-tion with the Tories to a vote of the entire mem-
bership, but she said they chose not to.
She said that after nearly six years of at-tempting to create a fis-cally conservative and socially mainstream party, Wildrose mem-bers rejected that path.
She wrote that merg-ing with the conserva-tives under Prentice was already underway fol-lowing four provincial byelections in October which the PC party swept, the Wildrose AGM and the loss of two MLAs to the governing party.
“Being an ‘NDP of the right’ was never the type of movement I wanted to lead,” Smith stated.
Reaction to the post ranged from supportive to angry.
“This isn’t an apolo-gy. You are blaming WRP membership. Be-cause of you we are going to have higher in-come taxes or a PST,” Craig Smith comment-ed below the post, mak-ing reference to Pren-tice’s suggestion earlier this month that Alberta should discuss the in-troduction of a sales tax.
“If we get a PST they should call it the DST (Danielle Smith Tax),” he added.
David Evans, howev-er, was sympathetic on Smith’s views about where Wildrose was
headed.“I believe the WRP,
whom I supported, went way off side at the AGM, failed to be seen as anything other than a redneck right wing gong show, and as such I un-derstand the defection to the Conservative party,” Evans posted.
The nine defectors have been criticized for abandoning their duty for personal gain, and one of them, Rob An-derson, said he won’t run in the next election.
Smith said in the post that she was disap-pointed to hear that An-derson decided to leave politics, but she said he can leave public service “knowing that he had a tremendous influence on restoring this prov-ince back to a solid foundation of principles and policy in govern-ment.”
“I truly believe that Albertans will see - as I do - that Premier Pren-tice is the right choice to lead Alberta, especially through the coming years of tough economic times,” Smith wrote.
Earlier this month Suzanne Oel, president of the Progressive Con-servative association in Highwood, said a num-ber of people have ex-pressed interest in run-ning for the party, but she wouldn’t say how many.
Smith sorry she didn’t let Albertans debate floor-crossing

AssociAted PressROME - Pope Francis
has laid out his formula for fostering Christian unity: resist competing for souls and make con-crete gestures of accep-tance and dialogue.
Francis celebrated vespers Sunday evening in a Rome basilica along with Anglican, Ortho-dox and other church leaders to cap an annu-al week of prayer for unity of Christians.
He told the church leaders that “our shared commitment to pro-claiming the Gospel en-
ables us to overcome proselytism and com-petition in all their forms.”
Francis said getting to know “those who are different from ourselves can make us grow.” He also cautioned about “subtle theoretical dis-cussions in which each side tries to convince the other.”
Referring to Chris-tians being persecuted in the Middle East and elsewhere, Francis de-scribed their suffering as a kind of “ecumenism of blood.”

AssociAted PressGRAND PRAIRIE,
Texas - Police in a Dallas suburb say a drunken driver crashed into an empty squad car while officers were busy deal-ing with another drunk-en driver they had pulled over.
Grand Prairie police say a third driver then crashed into another empty squad car, but this driver wasn’t drunk or high.
The Dallas Morning News reports that offi-
cers pulled over the first driver at around 3 a.m. Sunday and ended up arresting that person for driving while intoxicat-ed.
Department spokes-man Lyle Gensler says the driver of the first ve-hicle to hit a squad car was also arrested on a DWI charge, but the third driver was only ticketed.
The only person hurt was the second driver, who suffered minor in-juries.
AssociAted PressKANAB, Utah - A dog
is getting a new lease on life at a Utah animal sanctuary a month after escaping a worse fate in Indiana: being eutha-nized and having its cremated ashes mixed with those of its late owner.
Staff members at the Best Friends Animal So-ciety in Kanab say the male German shepherd named Bela still has be-havioural issues but is doing very well.
“It’s something we do every day: We handle special needs,” Christine Vergallito of Best Friends told KSL . “We handle behavioural is-sues, and we give them an enriched life here.”
Connie Ley of Auro-ra, Indiana, who died in November, stipulated in her will that Bela either go to the Utah sanctuary or be euthanized, cre-mated and mixed with her ashes. That’s be-cause Ley felt the 105-pound dog was aggres-
sive and not safe around strangers, particularly children.
Sanctuary workers say although they notice Bela wagging his tail more, they’re working to socialize him with peo-ple and other dogs. “It’s just a matter of time be-fore, one way or the other, he’s happy and he lives a full, rich life,” said John Garcia of Best Friends.
Garcia grew close to Bela over the last month. He drove 1,800 miles to Indiana and back to get the dog to Utah.
“Bela handled it like a champ,” Garcia told KSL. “Every single day, he learned more, he had a lot of fun and, all in all, he’s such a good dog ... He’s very loyal. He gets attached very quickly.”
He and others are hoping Bela, who’s be-lieved to be 8 or 9 years old, can be adopted someday. If not, they’ll be happy to have him live out his life at the sanctuary, they said.

AssociAted PressPORTLAND, Ore. - A
Hillsboro, Oregon, man arrested after playing a violin while naked out-side the federal court-house in Portland last year is suing police.
The Oregonian re-ports that 25-year-old Matthew T. Mglej claims authorities used exces-sive force and violated his First Amendment rights. He named the Multnomah County Sheriff ’s Office and Portland Police Bureau as defendants in a law-suit filed last week, and he’s seeking $1.1 mil-lion in damages.
Police showed up
after receiving com-plaints about the demonstration, during which the man played violin, meditated and quoted former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They said they arrested him for indecent exposure and carried him to a pa-trol car when he refused to walk.
Mglej claims jail deputies cut his wrists by jerking on his hand-cuffs and called him names when he cried from the pain and for his service dog.
He has a hearing on the indecent exposure charge next month.

AssociAted PressA L B U Q U E R Q U E ,
N.M. - An international team has launched its helium-filled balloon from Japan in a bid to reach North America and break two major re-cords en route.
Pilots Troy Bradley of New Mexico and Leonid Tiukhtyaev of Russia set off from Saga, Japan, shortly before 6:30 a.m. Sunday Japan time.
“Everything went just like a textbook,” said Le-titia Hill, social media director for the team’s mission control in Albu-querque.
Unfavourable weath-er changes scuttled two previous launch at-tempts more than a week ago.
The pilots are looking to reach North America, an attempt that will put them on course to break a distance record of 5,208 miles (8,381 kilo-metres). They also want to break the flight-dura-tion record set in 1978 when Ben Abruzzo,
Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman made the first trans-Atlantic balloon flight. That re-cord of 137 hours in the air in a traditional gas balloon is considered the holy grail of balloon-ing achievements.
The team is expected to land in the next 5 1/2 days, Hill said. But where they will land is anyone’s guess.
“That’s going to keep us on the edge of our seats for this mission,” Hill said after watching the launch at the Ander-son-Abruzzo Albuquer-que International Bal-loon Museum.
Bradley and Tiukhty-aev’s balloon - dubbed Two Eagles - is outfitted with a high-tech naviga-tion system, basic neces-sities such as a first-aid kit, and equipment to communicate with the command centre.
It will fly at an alti-tude of at least 15,000 feet (4,500 metres). The pilots will have oxygen masks and will be bun-
dled up. The tempera-ture inside their capsule will be about 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius).
The pilots have to be physically fit to endure several days inside the capsule, with little sleep and limited oxygen. In addition to the record
attempts, the flight is being monitored by re-searchers at Arizona State University who are studying the effects of fa-tigue on cognitive abili-ty.
It’s possible the pilots could be aloft for 10 days, which is the outer limit of the balloon’s ca-
pabilities, the team said.Once the hatch is
closed and the pilots are inside, it’s much like a video game, monitoring the GPS and other sys-tems for updates on weather conditions, speed and altitude, Bradley told The Associ-ated Press in October.

Houston police say the man climbed a tree and onto the roof of a Family Dollar store early Sunday morn-ing, then managed to break a hole in the roof and enter the building.
But after making his way into the store, the man fell through the ceiling just as a police officer arrived in re-sponse to a call about a potential bur-glary.
The officer ordered the unidentified man to stay on the floor. The man was later arrested.
Authorities believe the man was trying to steal cigarettes.

To-night: Vanish.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be thinking about how you might want to pres-ent a new idea. The words one chooses often tend to be more important than the idea itself. Some people can’t seem to get past the words. Be smart. Pres-ent a winning idea like it’s al-ready won. Tonight: Hang with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are in the limelight, and you’ll sparkle accordingly. You might not be aware of how much someone else listens to you and is able to respond with equally exciting statements. This person has an extraordi-nary imagination. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for more informa-tion, especially if you feel as if someone’s statement is incom-plete. Try to look at the matter from a detached perspective. Someone who cares a lot about you will come through at the last minute. Tonight: Don’t trig-ger a reaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Make a point of not holding back. Tonight: Just be yourself! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone might want to share more news, but you’ll need to be up for it. This person could
be a child or new friend. You will need to state your limits or time constraints before you give in to his or her whimsical needs. Tonight: Let the party go on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel worn out by what is happening around you. It wouldn’t be inappropriate to consider taking the day off. Stay focused, and understand your limits and needs. You will be more resilient and responsive if you take a break. Tonight: Don’t stray too far from home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on one thing at a time. You could be unusually tired and/or withdrawn. Know that you don’t need to share every-thing that is on your mind. Lis-ten to what others are saying. The conversation could trigger a wild idea. Tonight: Chat with a pal. BORN TODAY Military chief Douglas MacAr-thur (1880), actor Paul New-man (1925), comedian Ellen DeGeneres (1958) ***
Dear Annie: I have three siblings. The youngest sister, “Jess,” has always had prob-lems. At 13, she started taking drugs and running away from home. She spent five years in prison, and when she got out, my older sister offered to let Jess live with her so she could get a job and go to school. Jess was OK for about 18 months. Then she developed back problems and was unable to work. After several disagreements with my sister, she moved out to live with her boy-friend, whom she later married. It’s been downhill from there. A few nights before Thanksgiving, Jess knocked on my door with her husband and their dog. Apparently, they are homeless. Neither of them can stick to a job on a reg-ular basis. I’m sure Jess suffers from some type of mental illness, and now I think her husband does, too. I told Jess she could stay for three months and then would have to leave. I hope she can get some assistance to help her get back on her feet. Do you have any guidance for me? -- Lost and Confused Dear Lost: It is compassionate of you to take in your sister and her family, but she needs more help than you can give her. The best thing you can do for Jess is to look into local social services that will help her and her husband with mental health counseling, job training and housing. Please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org), the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development homeless assistance (hud.gov/homeless) and the National Coalition for the Homeless (nationalhomeless. org). Dear Annie: My 29-year-old stepson refus-es to give gifts to family members at Christ-mas. A few years ago, I asked him why, and he said he doesn’t believe in the crass com-mercialism at Christmas. Yet he and his wife accept gifts from all of us on the holiday. He also doesn’t send a card or phone on his Dad’s birthday or mine. What do we do? Do we respect his views on commercialism and not give him gifts? Do we ignore it and hope he comes around? He and his wife earn plenty of money and can afford it. But that’s beside the point. It is the effort and caring that is lacking. -- Wondering Dear Wondering: It is perfectly logical to stop buying presents for him, saying, “We know you don’t support the crass commer-cialism of the holiday, so we are respecting your beliefs and not purchasing any gifts for you.” Of course, that won’t help the relation-ship, which seems a little strained. This is your stepson, so Dad should handle it. Has Dad told him how much it would mean to get a call or card on his birthday? Some kids simply don’t connect the dots or realize the importance of remembering a loved one’s special day. It helps to remind them. Gently. Dear Annie: This is in response to “PO’d in New York,” who said you two “need a lo-botomy” for telling readers that doggie paw prints don’t belong on a sympathy card. Annie, I have had pets, mostly cats, since I was 6 years old. I have a pet cemetery in my backyard where five of my beloved cats are buried. I have two pet rescue cats whom I love with all my heart. They are a part of my family. But I would never, ever sign their names or put their paw prints on a sympa-thy card. In fact, I would be terribly upset if someone sent me a sympathy card with their animal’s names and paw prints on it. I just had to let you know that not every an-imal lover agrees with “PO’d.” -- A Cat Lover in Connecticut Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Kjell Erik Sorensen
February 24th 1980 – January 6th 2015
It is with profound sadness the family of Kjell Erik Sorensen announces his passing on Tuesday January 6th in Castlegar BC.
Erik is survived by the love of his life; Jaclyn and his daughter Liberty (6) and son Liam (2). Mother Renate Sorensen (Wycliffe-
Kimberley); Grandma, Lydia Moehling (Marysville); Sister, Maibrit Sorensen and Brother-in-Law Cody Stewart (Nelson). Erik was predeceased by his father; Kjell Sorensen in September 2014 and Grandfather Wilhelm Moehling December 2010.
Extended family include The LaRiviere’s in Quesnel; Aunt Angela, Uncle Chuck and Cousins Laurel and Rachelle. Aunt Randi in Gran Canary Island; and family in Germany and Norway.
Erik was born February 24th 1980 in Cranbrook BC and grew up in Wycliffe in the house his mother still resides in, spending the summers on the trampoline, swimming in the pool; building forts and riding bikes. In the winter Erik and Maibrit were at the Kimberley ski hill every day they weren’t in school –guaranteed the first on the ski hill in the morning and last to leave. Both conquered the ‘Easter’ run before they were 10 years old. Erik attended Marysville Elementary and McKim Middle School before transferring to Cranbrook for high school.
Erik followed in his father’s footsteps and joined Union 115 in 2005. With the same name as his father; many co-workers had worked with his Father and lots of stories ensued; with many co-worker friends coming to visit his Father to catch up on ‘old times’. He moved around BC working and gaining the experience necessary to become the Plant Manager of SPL in Castlegar for the last 3 years. Erik worked hard like his father and made many dear friends at SPL.
Erik met Jaclyn while in high school in Cranbrook; and low and behold Jaclyn’s parents moved beside Renate and Kjell 10 years ago. It is at this time that the high school sweethearts rekindled their relationship. In 2008 Jaclyn and Erik welcomed his princess; Liberty Rayne Maibrit Sorensen to the family; and proceeded to move to Nelson . In 2010 Erik, Jaclyn and Liberty moved to Castlegar and on Valentine’s Day 2012 welcomed his prince; Kjell Liam Arik Sorensen.
August 30th 2014 Erik and Jaclyn were married at the family home in Wycliffe; and officially expanded the family to include Mother -in-Law Trish Birks-Burch and Father-in-Law Brian Burch. Sister-in-laws Monica, Lindsay, and Brother-in-law Everett. Along with the new extended family includes 2 nephews and 4 nieces.
All who remember Erik will recall his love of music and his passion to travel to take in all of his favorites. When Erik was only 14 his sister and brother-in-law took Erik to Seattle to see DOA, Sublime and The Ramones. Erik was such a concert fan he purchased tickets for his mom so she could take him to see White Zombie in Spokane (mom went and was terrified). One of his prized possessions is a picture of Joey Keithley with Liberty; and favorite recent shows is the Dropkick Murphy road trip and The Smalls. At every show small or large he would be front and center in any mosh pit.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday January 31st at the Eagle’s Hall in Cranbrook at 1:30pm.
