LOCAL AMPUTEES HELP CARRY ON WAR AMPS LEGACY IN REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY: As they laid a wreath on November 11, at the Cranbrook Remembrance Day Ceremony, Brooke Willisson, 7, and Nicole Byford, 17, passed on a special legacy from The War Amps. Brooke, a multiple amputee, and Nicole, a partial left hand amputee, are proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program help pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation. Although Operation Legacy members have not experienced war themselves, they know what it is like to live without a limb – a bond they share with war amputee veterans. They will continue The War Amps tradition of “amputees helping amputees,” and carry on the Remembrance message long into the future.

ARNE PE TRYSHENThe City of Cran-

brook is hiring a new CAO, and Wayne Staudt is leaving his position at the end of his contract.

A posting on www.civicinfo.bc.ca said the City is looking to hire an experienced chief ad-ministrative officer for a competition that closes Dec. 14, 2015.

Chris Zettel, the City’s Corporate Com-munications Officer could not speak to the specifics, but issued this statement about the outgoing CAO.

“Wayne Staudt is still the active CAO for the City of Cranbrook until the end of his contract,” Zettel wrote.

“Mayor and council have begun succession

planning for the CAO role.”

Staudt was appoint-ment as CAO at the Oct. 22, 2012 city council meeting to replace for-mer CAO Will Pearce. When Pierce was hired by the City of Vernon in June 2012, Staudt stepped into the role of Interim CAO.

Staudt, who has been a resident of Cran-brook since 1978, joined the City of Cranbrook in 2002 as the Director of Finance.

The current council is the sixth that Wayne Staudt has worked with during his tenure with the City of Cranbrook, with Mayor Lee Pratt being the fourth Mayor.

T R E VO R C R AW L E YFinning has an-

nounced that the com-pany will close 11 loca-tions across western Canada, along with a workforce reduction of 450 people, which was revealed in a quarterly update on Thursday.

The announcement won’t affect operations in Cranbrook or Kim-berley, but there will be a facility closure in Sparwood, said Hillary Anaka, communica-tions manager for Fin-ning Canada.

Anaka did not pro-vide specific numbers in terms of how many local jobs would be af-fected, but noted that Finning will still be ac-

tive in Sparwood.“On the Sparwood

front, we do plan to exit our existing building in Sparwood by mid-2016,” she said.

“We’re still working through the details, but I can tell you we’re still planning on having a strong presence in the Elk Valley.

“One component of that strong presence are field technicians to support our customers in the area.”

The exiting of 11 fa-cilities in Western Can-ada is part of a restruc-turing plan to consoli-date operations, Anaka continued.

When you’ve dropped three consecu-tive games and sit last in your division, some-times all that’s left for a coach is to focus on the positives and look to build upon them.

That’s precisely what Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce is doing after his squad dropped back-to-back divisional road deci-sions to the Calgary Hit-men and Medicine Hat Tigers this weekend.

“We’ve got to take every positive out of that and show our guys why we put ourselves in a po-sition, once again, to control and win a hockey game,” Pierce said Sun-day afternoon, referring to Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Tigers. “Then it’s un-derstanding when we take leads -- because we’ve seen a lot of leads lately -- we have to un-derstand that teams are going to come harder. We’ve got to be prepared for the bum rush and learn how to handle that.

“We’ll take the posi-tives -- every one of them that we can -- and try to work on ways we can hold the fort a little bit better.”

Following Friday’s 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Hitmen, in which the Ice managed a franchise record-tying low 12 shots on goal, Pierce was pleased with the response from his squad the next night.

“We just laid an egg [Friday in Calgary],” Pierce said.

“I thought there were a lot of players [Saturday in Medicine Hat] that proved a lot of things to themselves about what they can accomplish when they want to work.”

Saturday at the Can-alta Centre in Medicine Hat, the Ice pushed to a 3-2 lead midway through the second pe-riod before the Tigers turned the tables, scor-ing three consecutive goals to take a 5-3 lead into the final 20 minutes of regulation.

After being in a posi-tion to take and hold control of the game, the Ice found themselves heading into the third period chasing and ulti-mately fell 6-3 as veteran

Tigers forward Chad Butcher (1G, 1A) and captain Cole Sanford (2G) took over.

The Ice needed to dig deep in search of offense Saturday. With wingers Zak Zborosky and Jae-don Descheneau already missing from action due to injury, captain and leading scorer Luke Philp joined them in the stands after being hurt in Friday’s 6-0 loss to the Calgary Hitmen.

Sparking the bounce-back effort Saturday were forwards Vince Lo-schiavo, Jared Legien and Matt Alfaro.

Loschiavo tallied his second goal of the year with only 3:28 remain-ing on the clock in the first period, providing life for the visitors as they headed into the in-termission trailing the Tigers 2-1.

Hard work in the sec-ond period led to a Western Hockey League milestone for winger Jared Legien, who pulled the Ice even with the Tigers at 2-2 as he collected his first-career WHL goal.

Less than one min-ute later, the veteran Al-faro took advantage of a loose puck, banging it past newly-acquired Ti-gers goaltender Mack Shields for a 3-2 Koote-nay Ice lead.

“Matt Alfaro might have played his best game of the year for us,” Pierce said. “Stepping up with Luke [Philp] being out and ‘Z’ [Zbo-rosky] being out.

“It was a really good rallying point for us.”

Unfortunately for the visitors, the Tigers re-sponded with three consecutive goals of their own, courtesy Butcher, Sanford and Mason Shaw to retake a two-goal lead heading into the final period.

Sanford added his second of the night to hammer the final nail into the coffin in the third period.

While Pierce was al-ready challenged with the reality of life without Zborosky, Philp and De-scheneau, adding to the task was the loss of Troy Murray late in the first period.

With less than one minute remaining in the first period, the veteran

blue-liner got tangled up with Sanford behind the play. Next thing you know, Murray’s gloves were off and he had San-ford pressed against the glass in the corner of the defensive zone.

Though neither play-er swung a fist or landed any punches, Murray was tagged with a five-minute major pen-alty for slashing and a game misconduct. On the flip side of the scuf-fle, Sanford received a pair of minors -- slash-ing and cross-checking -- on the play.

“I’m happy that Troy finally showed some emotion,” Pierce said. “That’s what we need from him. He’s a leader on our team by tenure and minutes played, all those things. We need him to have some pas-sion and some fire. He took a couple of good whacks from Sanford there and he responded.

“We had none of that response on Friday night and it was good to see it come out, finally. You never want it to be a major penalty, but at least there’s something there.”

At this point, Pierce is unsure whether or not the WHL will be hand-

ing out supplemental discipline to Murray.

Saturday in Medicine Hat, it was goaltender Wyatt Hoflin tagged with the loss as he sur-rendered six goals on 38 shots.

The native of Spruce Grove, Alta., was also on the losing end of Fri-day’s defeat in Calgary, getting the hook after 40 minutes of play in which he was victimized for three goals on 19 shots.

Rookie Declan Hobbs came on in relief for the final period Fri-day, giving up three goals on 12 shots.

The Hitmen were led to victory by captain Colby Harmsworth, who registered the game-win-ning goal, along with multi-point efforts from defencemen Jake Bean (1G, 1A), Loch Morrison (3A) and forwards Radel Fazleev (2A) and Jackson Houck (2A).

Goaltender Cody Porter registered the shutout for the Hitmen.

Coming full circle, the Ice return to Cran-brook for weekday ac-tion as they look to build upon Saturday’s posi-tives when they host the Everett Silvertips on ‘2-for-1 Tuesday’ at West-ern Financial Place.

The posting states that “a wonderful op-portunity has opened up for a qualified Man-ager to inspire and lead the staff of the city, and continue the work of building and improving the attractive and lively East Kootenay City of Cranbrook.

“The energetic and open minded Mayor and Council are looking for creative, efficient, and collaborative lead-ership; coupled with a desire to look at a range of different forms of ser-vice delivery.”

The ad says the ideal chief administrative of-ficer will be open mind-ed, have at least five years of demonstrated senior accomplishment in the local government or private sector and be able to demonstrate ex-perienced leadership resulting in new cost ef-fective solutions. “Sim-ply put, the mayor and council are looking for good value for money spent,” the posting notes.

“In some cases, it’s a clo-sure, in some cases it’s a consolidation of a couple of buildings or relocation,” Anaka said. “It’s important to note though in none of those instances are we actu-ally leaving the community, we’re just changing how we deliver services to our cus-tomers in those areas.”

In a second quarter re-

lease, the company reduced the workforce by 1,100 peo-ple, 24 per cent of which were B.C.-based jobs, Anaka said.

Thursday’s announce-ment is in addition to a pre-viously stated plan to shut down 16 locations across Western Canada by mid-2016, as the company noted that third quarter revenues are down 16 per cent, mostly

driven by a 35 per cent re-duction in new equipment sales.

From an overall stand-point, the report also noted that gross profit margins in nearly all aspects of compa-ny operations were down due to difficult market con-ditions, customer focus on cost reductions and a weak Canadian dollar.

“In line with significant

steps already taken to adjust to the economic downturn, we took further decisive ac-tions to reduce costs and im-plement sustainable opera-tional improvements as market conditions weak-ened in the third quarter,” said Scott Thomson, presi-dent and CEO of Finning In-ternational.

“These steps include re-ducing the size of our global

workforce by 1,900 people since the beginning of the year and 2,500 people since the start of the downturn in mid-2013. We also contin-ued to restructure our Cana-dian branch network, effec-tively reducing our facility footprint by over 20 per cent since the beginning of the year, to optimize the utiliza-tion of our assets throughout the cycle.”

F o r t h e tow n s m a nThe public is invited to an

open house later this month to review the draft City of Cranbrook Parks and Recre-ation Master Plan.

The open house is on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 3 pm to 9 pm, at Western Fi-

nancial Place to allow the public to review the draft recommendations that have emerged from this process, the City of Cranbrook said in a press release.

The open house will also provide residents with an opportunity to provide input

on the draft Master Plan.“The City of Cranbrook

has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Starting in April 2015, our consultants, Urban Sys-tems, engaged the commu-nity to provide feedback.”

A community survey was

undertaken and nine vision-ing workshops were con-ducted, including two gener-al public sessions. The pub-lic was also invited to send emails or letters at any time.

The Master Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, rec-

reation facilities, and com-munity programs/services for the next 10 years. The last plan was prepared in 1995 and set the framework for the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, and the new arena and aquatic centre.

PAGE 4 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2015

As always after a major terrorist attack on the West, the right question to ask after the slaughter in Paris is: what were the strategic aims behind the attack? This re-quires getting your head around the con-cept that terrorists have rational strategies, but once you have done that the motives behind the attacks are easy to figure out. It also becomes clear that the motives have changed.

The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 fol-lowed the classical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terror-ists’ interests. Al-Qaeda’s goal was to sucker the Unit-ed States into invading Mus-lim countries.

Al Qaeda was a revolutionary organisa-tion whose purpose was to overthrow ex-isting Arab governments and take power in the Arab countries, which it would then reshape in accord with its extreme Islamist ideology. The trouble was that Islamist movements were not doing very well in building mass support in the Arab world, and you need mass support if you want to make a revolution.

Osama bin Laden’s innovation was to switch the terrorist attacks from Arab gov-ernments to Western ones, in the hope of luring them into invasions that would rad-icalise large number of Arabs and drive them into the arms of the Islamists. His hopes were fulfilled by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Once the Western troops went in, there was a steep decline in terrorist attacks on Western countries. Al-Qaeda wanted Western troops to stay in the Middle East and radicalise the local populations, so it made no sense to wage a terrorist cam-paign that might make Western countries pull their troops out again.

The resistance in Iraq grew quickly and

and attracted Islamist fighters from many other Arab countries. The organisation originally known as “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” underwent several name changes, to “Is-lamic State in Iraq” in 2006; then to “Islam-ic State in Iraq and Syria” – ISIS for short – in 2013, and finally to simply “Islamic State” in 2014. But the key personnel and the long-term goals remained the same throughout.

The man who now calls himself the “Caliph” of Is-lamic State, Abu Bakr al-Bahdadi, first joined “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” and started fighting the US oc-cupation forces in Iraq in 2004. But along the way the strategy changed, for ISIS eventually grew so strong that it conquered

the extensive territories in Syria and Iraq that now make up Islamic State. Popular revolutions were no longer needed. The core strategy now is simply conquest.

In that case, why are Islamic State and Al-Qaeda still attacking Western targets? One reason is because the jihadi world is now split between two rival jihadi fran-chises that are competing for supporters.

The split happened in 2013, when ISIS, having launched a very successful branch operation in Syria known as the Nusra Front, tried to bring it back under the con-trol of the parent organisation.

The Syrian branch resisted, and ap-pealed to Al-Qaeda, the franchise manager of both jihadi groups, for support. Al-Qae-da backed the Syrians, whereupon ISIS broke its links with Al-Qaeda and set up as a direct competitor.

ISIS and the Nusra Front then fought a three-month war in early 2014 that killed several thousand militants and left the for-mer in control of most of eastern Syria. Soon afterwards ISIS overran most of west-ern Iraq and renamed itself Islamic State.

Islamic State and Al-Qaeda’s local fran-

chise, the Nusra Front, are currently ob-serving a ceasefire in Syria, but the two brands are still in a bitter struggle for the loyalty of jihadi groups elsewhere in the Muslim world.

Spectacular terrorist operations against Western targets appeal to both franchises because they are a powerful recruiting tool in jihadi circles. But Islamic State has a further motive: it actually wants Western attacks on it to cease.

It’s a real state now, with borders and an army and a more or less functional econ-omy. It doesn’t want Western forces inter-fering with its efforts to consolidate and expand that state, and it hopes that terror-ist attacks on the West may force them to pull out.

France is a prime target because French aircraft are part of the Western-led coali-tion bombing Islamic State, and because it’s relatively easy to recruit terrorists from France’s large, impoverished and alienat-ed Muslim minority. Russia has also be-come a priority target since its aircraft started bombing jihadi troops in Syria, and the recent crash of a Russian airliner in Sinai may be due to a bomb planted by Is-lamic State.

So the outlook is for more terrorist at-tacks wherever Islamic State (and, to a lesser extent, Al-Qaeda) can find willing volunteers. Western countries with smaller and better integrated Muslim commun-ities are less vulnerable than France, but they are targets too.

Putting foreign ground troops into Syria would only make matters worse, so the least bad option for all the countries con-cerned is to ride the terrorist campaign out. Horrendous though the attacks are, they pose a very small risk to the average citizen of these countries. Statistically speaking, it’s still more dangerous to cross the street, let alone climb a ladder.

“My memory is what I forget with.” Anonymous.

D uring last summer, I think it was, I was sitting in my little Honda Civic outside a large grocery store trying

to figure out something like ‘how do I get this damn seat-belt undone’ when I be-came aware of a shadow cast by some huge guy who was standing by my door. I twisted my neck and looked up at the fellow quizzically (I am good at that) and became aware that he was riffling through something that looked like hundreds of bills, big denom-inations. I wound down the window and said something witty like, “You don’t owe me a thing, honest.”

“I am going to Croatia,” said the large man with the loot, as if that explained ev-erything.

“Why not take a credit card?” I suggest-ed reasonably. “People do.” And then I added, “I think I was in Croatia some time back.” I wasn’t too sure about the Croatia bit but I had been in the old Yugoslavia some forty five years earlier and I was pos-itive Croatia was there somewhere.

The fellow, still looming over me as I struggled to get out of the car, didn’t ex-plain why he wasn’t going to pack a credit card.

“You’ll get mugged, “ I suggested cheerfully as I eased by the man.

He grinned and patted his expansive belly and told me he’d secrete the cash in ‘his fanny pack’.

To this day, I have no idea that man chose to tell me all about his ambitions and future travels. I didn’t think I knew him; he wasn’t an ex-student or a lawyer, or someone to whom I owed money.

“I was born over there,” said the man with the ready cash in large bills, “Going back for a visit.”

I was struggling to find the shopping list that I had laboured over earlier and, at the same

time, trying to recall the few phrases I had learned on our trip to Yugoslavia almost fifty years before. I found the list, slipped by the guy and reasoned that the phrases that I might actually remember would probably not be the right ones for this man. After Tito kicked the proverbial bucket, Yugoslavia is now again half a dozen different countries where the peo-ple often fight each other, have different religions and speak different languages. I recalled the place where we’d camped with the kids for a week; it was called Krk, no vowels. We’d struggled in German and big smiles, waving our arms about as they are inclined to do in foreign countries.

Meanwhile, as I was gathering my thoughts, the large man with the cash dis-appeared and I had forgotten all about

him until last week.This time, I was sitting, near the en-

trance of a large box store, exhausted from shopping without buying anything but two bananas when, suddenly, the man was standing there, all affable and looming over me once more. He said (I thought), “Haven’t seen you since we met in Croatia.” This befuddled my already befuddled mind (from shopping) al-though the fellow was vaguely familiar, but I certainly had no recollections of meeting any Canadian in the one-time Yugoslavia forty years before. At the place where we’d camped for a week, we’d com-municated with identical twin pregnant ladies who, between them, handled six or more languages with alacrity. The trouble had been, sorting out the one that spoke English.

In the box store, this unremembered apparent Croatian was patient with the idiot who didn’t seem to understand him (me) but, finally, we sorted it out. He was the man who had shown me all that money last summer; he had made his trip; he hadn’t been mugged; he had been as far south as Bosnia and Montenegro but had stayed away from Serbia, drawing his finger suggestively across his throat as he said so.

Anyway, to my unremembered friend, I’ll try the following: Dobar da. Kako ste? Ja ne razumjen. That is about all I can re-call from over forty years ago when we stayed at Krk which, I think, is in Croatia.

The unremembered Croatian

For the townsmanA Cranbrook woman

who has been working in Uganda and started a sponsorship program will be sharing stories on Nov. 28.

Kimi Toyota began “His Hope Uganda” in 2009. It is a sponsorship program to provide ed-ucation to needy chil-dren. Her pursuit was that of getting children back into school.

Since its quiet begin-ning, the work of His Hope Uganda has been transforming lives, both in East Africa and Cana-da.

Toyota grew up in Cranbrook and graduat-ed from Mt. Baker. At age 23, she behind a comfortable life of em-ployment in Calgary’s Children’s Hospital, as well as snowboarding, movies and enjoying the typical pursuits of a 23 year old. In 2007, she and a friend decided to visit Uganda after seeing a heart breaking movie about child soldiers.

After a quick two weeks working with nine children in a home in Jinja, Uganda, she re-turned for a seven month stay. Upon re-turning to Canada, the home suddenly closed due to corruption and the nine children Toyota now called family were abruptly sent back to their scattered villages.

Then in 2009, she began the sponsorship program with her initial eight children.

By the end of that first year, the number had grown to 47, spon-sored mostly by Cran-brook families who at-tended the local Alli-ance Church.

The ministry has been transforming since its inception with each year bringing new opportunities. In 2010, Kimi noticed that the home of one the chil-dren who was constant-ly sick was in hazardous shape with one of its mud, stick and dung walls periodically fall-ing in, a leaky roof, mold and rats. She and her staff of three Ugandans decided to build a new home of brick with a metal roof. So began an endeavour that has now replaced 39 unsafe structures and built 40 sanitary drop toilets.

In 2011, teams began to arrive, first from Can-ada and later from En-

gland. The first team of 21 were kept busy build-ing two homes and two brick toilet facilities, distributing clothes, vis-iting schools and mix-

ing with the amazing Ugandan people over their two-week stay.

In 2013, hospital vis-its were introduced. Teams would visit the

Children’s Hospital, feed close to 500 and spend time to pray with each of the patients, an especially emotional time due to the horrid

conditions of medical care.

By 2015, the number of sponsored children who were being provid-ed schooling as well as

medical attention had grown to 152.

The work of transfor-mation is perhaps most evident in caring for medical needs. Diana is

His Hope Uganda, Transforming Livesone of countless exam-ples. She first grabbed the attention of Kimi and the staff through her obvious inactivity. While other kids re-sponded to the team’s visit with typical enthu-siasm and joy, Diana sat on the ground with empty eyes and an ap-pearance that suggest-ed she was merely awaiting death.

Because she was crippled and suffered from a serious heart condition, she was left out. With medical atten-tion, regular food and loads of love, Diana has been transformed into a delightful child whose laughter inspires and who readily shares smiles that were once so foreign to her. She is now the recipient of prayers from around the world and awaits complicated heart sur-gery, hopefully in En-gland.

Hobaida and Swaibil are two brothers who have also been trans-formed through four years of love and atten-tion. They both suffered from a severe form of skin cancer that ate away at their facial fea-tures and caused swell-ing of the tongue and eyes that has required that their tongues be cut open numerous times to prevent choking. Today, though still car-rying serious scarring, they’re in school and thriving with joy and enthusiasm.

Transformation has also been the experi-ence of the many from Canada and the U.S. who have joined teams that have served in Uganda for two week periods. Almost all have the desire to return and many have done so.

On Saturday, No-vember 28, Kimi will be sharing stories and vid-eos of her latest adven-tures in her new African home. Dessert will be served and a massive Silent Auction will offer goods and services worth over $12,000. The event will be held at Cranbrook Alliance Church at 6:30, with ad-mission set at $5 per person. All are wel-come. For one of only 200 tickets to this enter-taining and informative event, please contact Gary Toyota at 250-426-8645.

Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be in-cluded in B.C.’s new school curricu-lum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers.

The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treat-ment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.

In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Reh-taeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Com-missioner Elizabeth Denham sur-veyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.

“The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced

with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and Turpel-Lafond con-clude.

Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for

more measures in schools in addi-tion to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy pro-vides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, ei-

ther online or in person.The report calls for the educa-

tion ministry to “ensure that devel-opmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in

the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age chil-dren as soon as possible.”

Education Minister Mike Berni-er said Friday the new school cur-riculum, which began implemen-tation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”

Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades “about cyber-bullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.”

Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental ef-forts to monitor young people’s communications around the clock, or to cut off their access.

“For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cell-phones or email accounts is an im-practical solution,” the report states. “It would be equivalent to house arrest and social depriva-tion.”

Teach online safety in school, experts say

Amanda Todd’s video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bul-lying.

Gang violence has shot up this year in B.C. after a two-year lull.

There have been 30 gang-linked murders and attempted murders as of June 30, nearly twice as many as the 18 in all of 2014 and up from 24 in 2013.

Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett said many of the incidents were in Surrey or Delta, where B.C.’s anti-gang police unit worked closely with local officers to suppress conflict between rival groups, with success later in the year.

“Street level drug traffickers brazenly shot at each other from mov-ing vehicles and en-gaged in gun battles on our roads putting the community at risk,” Hackett said.

His comments were published this week in the CFSEU’s 2015 com-munity report. It can be found at bc-anti-gang.com.

According to statis-tics released in the re-port, the average age of a gang violence victim is 25 years old, which is younger than in previ-ous years. The youngest victim this year was 15,

while the oldest was 66.Over the past 10

years, there have been 15 female victims of gang violence and there have been 35 mass gang shootings (involving multiple victims of gun violence at one loca-tion) claiming 85 vic-tims.

Significant arrests have been made this year.

Two men face charges in connection with a series of arsons and shootings in previ-ous years targeting staff of the Justice Institute of B.C.

Hackett also cited the arrests of two extremely violent and prolific dan-gerous offenders from Edmonton in the Lower Mainland who were tied to crimes in B.C. and Al-berta, including mur-ders, attempted mur-ders and violent home invasions involving the torture and mutilation of victims.

Hackett said a joint forces operation led by the CFSEU was needed because the “brazen and transient” crime group posed a higher risk to public safety.

In the courts, the trial of three men for the 2011 murder of gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna is expected to

Gang violence on upswing this yearAnti-gang police release 2015 community report

get underway next spring.

The community re-port features one young woman’s insider story of life within a gang – pack-aging cocaine for sale, acting as a cross-coun-

try drug mule and grow-ing increasingly terrified as risks escalate and drug deals go wrong.

Early on she had been seduced by the lifestyle, befriending gang members, includ-

ing two young men who would later end up dead off Colebrook Road in Surrey. “That’s literally where gangster dreams go to die,” she said.

The unnamed woman describes an

open casket funeral of one of the young victims –  a deliberate choice of his parents to show the bullet through his head.

She was one of the lucky ones who has es-caped the life.

Less fortunate was Brianna Kinnear who once reassured her wor-ried mom “They don’t murder girls.”

The 22-year-old was found shot to death in a pickup truck in Co-quitlam in 2009. Her murder is unsolved and her tearful mother is featured in a new CFSEU video.

The report also high-lights two Abbotsford high school students who were executed in 2009 on Sumas Moun-tain as examples of ado-lescents lured by the temptation of a luxury lifestyle fueled by drug cash.

“They were not high-level drug lords,” the report says of the slain Grade 12s from W. J. Mouat Secondary School. “They were two kids who wanted to be able to pay for a limou-sine to get to prom.”

It says B.C. teachers are reporting children as young as nine asking 11-year-olds on ele-mentary school play-grounds who they can

talk to about selling some drugs.

Prevention remains a major focus of the CFSEU, which contin-ues to press its End Gang Life initiative with school presentations and emotional videos from former gang mem-bers or surviving loved ones.

The province has committed new funding for 35 additional pre-sentations of the CF-SEU’s End Gang Life presentation to school students in the Lower Mainland, the Okana-gan and Vancouver Is-land.

The sessions aim to demystify the tactics of gang recruiters and bet-ter equip kids to resist them.

They’re led by for-mer gang member Jor-dan Buna, who served time in jail before be-coming a spokesman for the End Gang Life pro-gram.

“Even though I was lucky and got out, being part of a gang was a death sentence for most of the people I knew. That is the reality of gang life,” Buna said. “It robbed me of so many opportunities and ex-posed me to horrifying scenes that I will never forget.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get as much done as possible, despite being distracted. If you can, work from home. Be aware that you could be working with outdated technology.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Step back and try to get out of the limelight. Handle some-thing that is important yet private. Once you do, you might want some time to reflect on a personal situation.

Stay upbeat and pursue your chosen course. Some people might want to follow you. Make an important long-distance call to someone you don’t often see. Don’t put it off any longer.

Dear Annie: I am 17, married, with a 1-year-old daughter. I am doing amazingly well for a teen mom. My husband and I have a house and car, I’m finishing school, and we are both working. Before we moved into our house, we lived with my husband’s father and brother. When my brother-in-law expressed interest in getting a dog, I told him that wouldn’t be possible because my daughter is allergic. He became furious and attacked me with a knife. I left the house with my daughter and stayed with my mom until we found our current place. I decided to be the bigger person and let the situation pass. But recently, my father-in-law’s electricity was shut off and they ended up homeless. So my husband and I decided to let the two of them stay with us until they can get back on their feet. We asked them to pay $150 toward rent and insisted that there be no smoking in the house or near my child or me. I recently discovered that my brother-in-law is smoking pot regularly at school. I told his father that if I drug test him and it comes out positive, they are gone. But, Annie, it went in one ear and out the other. I am so frustrated. I want my brother-in-law out of the house now, and no one is listening to me. I don’t know what to do. -- Trying to be the Grown-Up Dear Trying: If possession of pot is illegal in your state, then your brother-in-law is putting your entire household at risk if he keeps the stuff in your home. Otherwise, if he is smoking pot only at school, he is technically following your rules. Where is your husband in all this? He should be supportive of your position. Both of you should be helping your in-laws move into their own place as soon as possible. Do they need assistance finding jobs? Finding affordable housing? Give them a hand with those issues and you will also be helping yourself. Dear Annie: I taught first grade for 20 years. At the beginning of each school year, after the kids were settled into our classroom, I would have them sit in front of me as they would for story time. I would tell them that I was going to do something that they would NEVER see me do again. Then I would pick my nose. It wasn’t long before all of the kids made grimacing faces and sounds indicating their discomfort. I would then say, “It doesn’t look any better when you do it.” Then we would talk a little about it and how they could handle this problem, if necessary, in private. After that, I would get up and thoroughly wash my hands. Not a single first-grader ever picked his or her nose in front of me. I always hoped it carried over into the rest of their lives. -- Retired Teacher Dear Teacher: You obviously made quite an impression. This technique might not work today, when any parent passing by your classroom (or hearing about it from their child) might lodge a complaint. But most people who pick their noses would be appalled to see themselves the way others do. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Public Open House - Parks and Recreation Master PlanThe City of Cranbrook has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan.  The Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years.  The last plan was prepared in 1995 and set the framework for the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, and the new arena and aquatic centre.  The consulting � rm for the Master Plan is Urban Systems.

Starting in April 2015, our consultants engaged the community to provide feedback.  A community survey was undertaken and nine visioning workshops were conducted, including two general public sessions.  The public was invited to send emails or letters at any time.

The public is invited to attend an open house on Thursday November 26th, 2015 from 3pm to 9pm, at Western Financial Place to review the draft recommendations that have emerged from this process.  The open house will provide our residents with an opportunity to provide input on the draft Master Plan.

K aren Gr ahamEveryone eats com-

fort food. For many of us it may be traditional or familiar food that we ate in our childhood home. Sometimes we reach for comfort food when we may not even

be hungry. That’s be-cause comfort food can make us feel… comfort-ed.

Comfort foods are often “junk food” – quick, easy to eat and typically high in fat or sugar. We often keep

eating until we become so full that it hurts. In-stead of feeling com-forted, we can end up feeling badly about our-selves for eating so much. Then, to manage these feelings, we con-vince ourselves that we had to eat this food to feel better. It can be-come an unhealthy cycle. Taking a moment to think about how much comfort food we eat, why we reach for comfort foods and what kind of comfort we seek

can help break the cycle. Here are a few tips.

• Consider keeping a record of why you eat comfort foods

Are you happy and celebrating? Feeling sad or lonely? Are you tired and need a boost? Per-haps you are bored or feeling angry and hurt? Keep a record of your feelings and what you eat at those times. It helps you learn about yourself.

• Be aware of portion

size and how much you are eating

It is very easy to eat something without thinking only to realize later you have eaten too much. The website www.mindlesseating.org explains why we eat more than we think and has simple steps to help you become more mindful of what you are eating. Check it out!

• Change your crav-ings for unhealthy com-fort foods

First, take a deep

breath and drink a glass of water. If you’re feel-ing sad, lonely or bored try an activity to take your mind off your wor-ries - do a household task, go for a walk, or text a friend. When you are feeling tired, try a warm bath or shower and a rest. If you’re feel-ing angry or hurt reach out to those who can support you.

• Create new healthy comfort food memories.

Start new comfort traditions by enjoying

regular balanced meals with family or friends.

If you have questions about healthy eating, food or nutrition call HealthLinkBC at 811. Registered Dietitians are available Mon-Fri from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. You can leave a message after hours. For more information visit HealthLinkBC.

Getting comfortable with comfort foods

Submit ted The West Kootenay

Brain Injury Association has received an $85,000 grant to help it more ef-fectively carry out ser-vices for its clients.

The funding will be allocated regionally for all service areas. The East Kootenay region

specifically will receive:• An additional 51.5

hours per week of direct service delivery;

• $3,700 allocated for direct programming for members;

• $1,000 to start a new fund for Client Ser-vices which can be used to assist members with

one-time-only emer-gent needs;

• $3,000 to assist in travel costs for staff pro-viding services to mem-bers in remote commu-nities.

In May, the B.C. gov-ernment provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distributed funding to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.’s 16 com-m u n i t y - b a s e d , non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs.

In the second stage, brain-injury organiza-tions in B.C. receive

funding based on appli-cations for programs specific to their needs. These organizations run programs and services to help reduce the inci-dence of injury or di-rectly help those affect-ed by brain injuries.

“The West Kootenay Brain Injury Association does vital work that im-proves the lives of peo-ple affected by brain in-jury,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “This funding ensures the organization is able to maintain and expand the services it provides to clients in both East and West Kootenays, which makes a positive impact on our commu-

nities.”“On behalf of the

board, staff and all of WKBIA, we are excited about this opportunity to provide an exception-al level of service deliv-ery to all of our mem-bers,” said Robyn Bogue, executive director of the West Kootenay Brain In-jury Association. “We extend our sincerest thanks to the provincial government, the Brain Injury Alliance and to our membership and families for the gift of walking with them on their recovery journey.”
