The neighbour who found a badly injured Kimberley couple after they were attacked by a grizzly bear Sunday says the pair saved themselves.

Well-known conserva-tionists and wildlife en-thusiasts Peter Moody and Susan Bond are in stable condition in a Cal-gary hospital after a griz-zly sow mauled them in defence on November 25.

The couple was walk-ing along Cherry Creek off LD Ranch Road east of Kimberley on Sunday af-ternoon when they stum-bled upon a grizzly sow and cubs feeding on a deer, according to conser-vation officers.

The COs told the Kim-berley Daily Bulletin on Monday that Susan yelled at the bears and began to run. Startled, the sow at-tacked Susan. Peter began beating the bear with a walking stick, which caused the bear to attack him.

Eventually the bears moved away, and the couple were able to get up and started walking to get help.

Randy Harvey, his wife Bonnie and friend Allan Hunter were sitting down to watch the Grey Cup about 2:20 p.m. on Sun-

day when Allan saw a figure in a field about half a mile from the house.

“I got my binoculars and I’m looking and I saw it was an old man. I said, what’s he doing out there stumbling around? He kept falling down so we said we better go look,” said Randy.

Allan ran along LD Ranch Road toward Peter, while Randy drove.

Dignitaries officially open the East Kootenay branch of Friends of Children on Monday, November 26. Pictured, left to right: John Birrell (Bootleg Sled Dog Society), Gail Brown (Friends of Children), Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, Pat Chisholm (Friends of Children), and Brenda Birrell (Bootleg Sled Dog Society).

new to the agency.“As soon as I turned

my phone on, I got the first call within five min-utes,” said coordinator Pat Chisholm.

“It’s rewarding to know we are able to support families in whatever way is helpful to them,” she went on. “It isn’t always financial – often it’s an ear to lis-ten.”

Chisholm shared the story of Kimberley resi-dent Keri Rinehart, whose son was born premature five years ago and needs regular visits to Calgary for care. When Keri’s son was born, the family wasn’t sure they would be able to return to the East Kootenay, and they knew their financial sit-uation would be dra-matically different.

“When you have a sick child, you’ve got enough on your plate. Having Friends of Chil-dren here gives families one less thing to worry about,” Rinehart’s story read.

Gail Brown, a direc-tor of the Friends of Children board, said having an office here will increase the agen-cy’s profile.

“We will be able to reach more families and more easily help people understand why they should contribute to Friends of Children,” said Brown.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said the agency was a good ad-dition to the new Koote-nay Child Development Centre and congratulat-ed Gail Brown on mak-ing it happen.

“This has been something Gail has worked at for quite a few years. It’s a lot of

work to take on. It’s quite a success story. You should be really proud of yourself,” said Bennett.

Mayor Wayne Stetski welcomed Friends of Children to a physical location in Cranbrook.

“There is nothing like having a local face and a local presence and providing a friendly face you can go to for advice and the help you need,” said Stetski.

Monday was also an opportunity for the Bootleg Sled Dog Soci-ety – which held sled dog races in Marysville for four years – to make a generous donation to Friends of Children.

Over the years, the Sled Dog Society has given $60,000 to Friends of Children, raised through the annual event. But in February 2012 the races had to be called off because there wasn’t enough snow on the track.

Teck had pledged $3,000 and Kimberley Alpine Resort had pledged $1,500 to the event, said event orga-nizer Brenda Birrell.

“Even though the races were cancelled, they very generously and graciously turned over their donation to Friends of Children,” said Birrell.

This helped the soci-ety make a $10,000 do-nation to Friends of Children at the Novem-ber 26 event.

If you have a child in medical need and have to travel out of the re-gion for health care, Friends of Children can help both financially and emotionally. For more information, phone Pat Chisholm at 250-420-1759.

Kootenay support group trains drug users in stopping opioid overdoses

Sally MacDonalDTownsman Staff

ANKORS is taking part in a pilot program to save people from opioid over-doses.

The Kootenays outreach society is making opioid antagonist drug Naloxone available to people who use illicit opioid drugs.

In southeast B.C., peo-ple are dying from prescrip-tion opioid overdoses – pain medication such as codeine and morphine – at the same rate they are dying in drunk-driving accidents, according to Interior Health.

But in the States, where there are 180 community based programs, 10,000 opioid overdoses have been reversed by Naloxone.

The drug, which was ad-ministered by the BC Am-bulance Service 2,367 times in 2011, quickly reverses life-threatening respiratory depression of opioids to re-store breathing, usually in 2-5 minutes.

“This is a very simple thing to offer,” said Cheryl Dowden, executive director of ANKORS. “Naloxone has less side effects than an epipen.”

It can be injected into a vein, muscle or under the skin and can be given through clothing. Naloxone doesn’t get a person high, and it has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their sys-tem.

Through the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, a pilot program is making Nalox-one available for people who use illicit opioids, in-cluding drugs like mor-phine, codeine and oxyco-done, as well as heroin.

Last week, ANKORS re-ceived 60 take-home kits to give out to illicit drug users in the West Kootenay.

“Our intention is to make sure this has further reach, including the East Kootenay. But we are just starting,” said Dowden.

Naloxone can only be prescribed to a named per-son, so ANKORS is referring opioid users to a Castlegar physician and nurse practi-tioner. The person is given overdose and Naloxone training, then they see the physician for a prescrip-tion.

“We are hoping that eventually we will have more physicians on board to prescribe Naloxone, and hopefully in the East Koote-nay as well,” said Dowden.

Giving Naloxone out to drug users is important be-cause people are some-times afraid of legal impli-cations if they call 911.

“Part of the work we are doing is trying to suppress people’s fears around po-lice involvement,” said Dowden.

She hopes that one day, doctors will prescribe Nal-oxone whenever they pre-scribe opioids.

“Our hope is that even-tually, Naloxone will have further reach, so that if somebody is prescribed a pain medication by a doc-tor, they will also be pre-scribed a companion pre-scription for Naloxone.”

In the meantime, getting those 60 kits out to opioid users in the West Kootenay will have a positive effect.

“This has huge potential to save lives,” said Dowden. “The majority of overdoses take place with another person present. If people have the information and they have Naloxone, it’s kind of a no-brainer that this could save lives.”

Every year, the Kim-berley Dynamiters host the Helping Hands Food Bank for a home game, and every year Kimber-ley residents respond with generosity.

This year was the best yet, says Food Bank Director Malcolm Fruin, with Kimberley hockey fans bringing in food and cash donations of $2800.

“That easily surpass-es last year,” Fruin said.

“Total net proceeds from the sold out fall draw were $4800 bring-ing the total event pro-ceeds to $7600, which will be of great help for the annual Food Bank Christmas hamper pro-gram.”

The draw winners were announced at the hockey game.

The winner of the

annual fall draw was Sis Lainey, who won the $1000 prize sponsored by Mead-owbrook Green-houses, Gail Ogilvie won the BA Blacktop Box Seats for a Koo-tenay Ice game and Bruce Irwin won $300 cash donated

by the Edge Pub.“The Food Bank

thanks the Dynamit-ers, the sponsors, volunteers and Kimberley residents who supported these events,” Fruin said.

The Kimberley Food Bank expects

to fill between 190 and 210 Christmas hampers this holi-day season. Ham-pers include a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, as well as gifts for the kids and other food staples.

Local involvement

ensures public interest is

servedNORM MACDONALDMLA Columbia River

Revelstoke

One of the biggest is-sues that I am hearing about this week is the need for local involve-ment in decision mak-ing on the land base.

There have been a number of decisions made recently by gov-ernment where local people have felt that they were either not consulted or their ex-pressed views were ig-nored.

But this is not a par-ticularly recent turn of events. Over the last 11 years, many specific leg-

islative steps have been taken to remove previ-ous requirements for local participation in decision making.

In 2003, the BC Lib-erals passed legislation called the Significant Projects Streamlining Act which allows proj-ects to be designated as provincially significant and thus override local jurisdiction which might hamper develop-ment.

Bill 30, also known as the Ashlu River bill, re-moved the power of local governments to make decisions on whether or not private power river-diversion projects should go ahead on public lands.

An amendment to the Local Government Act has now allowed the Provincial government to create a Mountain Re-sort Municipality where

there are no residents and appoint a mayor and council that may never face election.

Community land use planning groups which have developed Inte-grated Resource Plans have been disbanded and the need for com-munity consultation on land use has been elimi-nated.

These are only a few examples of the ways

that this government has taken you out of the decision-making pro-cess. And we’ve seen that the quality of deci-sions being made has been lessened as local wisdom has been ig-nored.

I believe that we need to build resiliency in rural communities and that means that local residents must have a say on how our land base is used. I be-lieve that those who rely on the land base for em-ployment, recreation and the protection of environmental values will make the best deci-sions.

And that local in-volvement ensures that the public interest is al-ways at the forefront of policy decisions, some-thing that has been lack-ing for too long in Brit-ish Columbia.

Local involvement essential

Norm Macdonald

Ratcliffe receives medal

From Page 1“This medal was created to com-

memorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne,” Macdonald said. “I think everyone would agree that she has been notable in her service for 60 years.

“When you think of a life of service, the word duty comes up. I think we often take for granted that people will give of themselves and do the right thing.

“All of you recognize that duty is a word that applies to Jack.”

Macdonald said that when he was tasked with finding worthy individu-als for Diamond Jubilee medals, Rat-cliffe’s name came up again and again.

“I would like to offer my congratu-lations,” said Mayor Ron McRae. “I

personally thank you for providing excellent mentorship as I came on Council in 1999 and then went on to become Mayor. I relied heavily on your wisdom and judgement.”

Ratcliffe said he was humbled to see so many in attendance as he re-ceived his medal.

“Whenever someone mentions years of service, I always mention the involvement of the spouse. If you’re involved in community service, your spouse has to take up the extra slack at home.

“This is the Queen’s medal, hon-ouring 60 years, and as staunch royal-ist, I’m very proud to receive it. On a personal note, next week Rose will have put up with me for 60 years.”

FROM PAGE 1In his pickup truck, Randy

drove across in the field in the direction Peter was pointing and found Susan lying on the ground.

“I picked her up and put her in the truck,” said Randy, add-ing that Susan said they had been attacked by a bear but in-sisted that no harm come to the bear.

“She kept saying, ‘No, no, it’s not their fault, don’t kill the bears.’ She was totally adamant she didn’t want that bear killed.”

Both Susan and Peter were badly injured, with lacerations to the head, legs and back, Randy said. Susan had fallen into the creek as they were flee-ing, so her feet were wet and cold.

While they waited for the

ambulance to arrive, Bonnie comforted Susan and Peter.

“We got her boots off and her socks off and tried to warm her up,” said Randy. “We kept talking to them, trying to keep them awake. Bonnie kept hold-ing her hand and talking to her.”

Soon paramedics arrived and took Susan and Peter to Cranbrook. They were rushed to Calgary later Sunday.

Randy said he was struck by the couple’s concern for one another.

“All he was concerned about was Susan. Then when I got her in the truck, all she was saying was, ‘Peter, Peter.’”

Amazed that they were able to walk when they were so badly injured, Randy added that he wasn’t responsible for saving them.

“Everybody keeps calling me

a hero,” he said. “They saved themselves totally.”

Conservation officers visited the scene of the attack and de-termined it was a grizzly with at least one cub, although Peter originally thought it was a black bear with two cubs. The bears have not returned to the area since the attack, and COs have decided not to track them be-cause the sow was exhibiting normal behaviour, defending a kill and her cubs.

However, caution is urged for anyone travelling in the wooded portions of the Cherry Creek/Meadowbrook area. Anyone who sees a sow grizzly with one or two cubs in the area is asked to call the Conserva-tion Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.

Stats show new, tougher penalties have effect

By Jeff NagelBlack Press

B.C.’s toughened roadside penal-ties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year.

The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010.

That’s based on a drop from an av-erage of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year.

Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drink-ing and getting behind the wheel.

“As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said.

She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fa-talities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired

driving victim Alexa Middelaer.The roadside penalties can result

in licence suspensions, vehicle im-poundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative pen-alties and remedial program costs.

The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal pros-ecution of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investi-gation and court time. 

A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995.

Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05.

Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and drive.

The tests found no drivers aged 16 to 18 who had been drinking, which is thought to be a benefit of B.C.’s gradu-ated licensing system that restricts novice and learners to a zero blood alcohol content.

International students say Hello Kimberley

Page 6: Kimberley Daily Bulletin, November 28, 2012

I’ve written several times about the ele-phant as a symbol for Cranbrook — and not just because of that Cranbrook Ed business so long ago. Here I go again.

Indeed, there’s something about the el-ephant’s character and ponderous strength that we claim as our own. The City of Cranbrook chose the eagle as its sym-bol — sort of — after a re-branding exercise a few years ago. But I’ve always felt the elephant should be our unofficial totem.

Well, the spirit pachy-derm is back, and this time it’s stomping around the whole East Kootenay. What on earth do I mean? Jumbo, that’s what I mean.

I would hazard a guess that not many people are aware that that mountainous massif and glacier near Invermere, the subject of so much talk, is named after an elephant. The greatest elephant of them all. The world’s most famous elephant.

Jumbo the Circus Elephant (1861 ‒ 1885) was an African elephant who after an early career as a zoo elephant was sold in 1881 to P. T. Barnum’s Barnum & Bailey Circus (“The Greatest Show On Earth”). Jumbo was huge — his height is estimated as between 3.25 metres and four metres. Thus his name has spawned the common word “jumbo”, meaning large in size.

Jumbo died in Canada at St. Thomas, Ontario, where he was hit and fatally wounded by a locomotive. Barnum after-wards said that Jumbo died saving a young circus elephant, Tom Thumb, from being

hit by the locomotive, but other witnesses did not support this. We can choose to be-lieve whichever story we prefer.

So now, we have this elephantine word “Jumbo” in our lexicon, and this elephan-tine presence in our region — the glacier

near Invermere and the proposed year-round ski resort at that same location. What’s with all these ele-phants? Can Jumbo the cir-cus elephant be adopted as some sort of symbol for the glacier and proposed re-sort, much as Cranbrook

Ed personifies Cranbrook (as I choose to believe it does)? Let’s compare.

Jumbo the circus elephant’s colour was grey. Jumbo the glacier’s colour is white, or so it is hoped — white with snow for skiers to enjoy all year round at the proposed re-sort.

After Jumbo the circus elephant’s death, many metallic objects were found in his stomach, including pennies, nickels and dimes. Thus Jumbo the circus elephant had money poured down his throat, so to speak, veritable handfuls of change. Jumbo the proposed resort too will have money poured down its throat, so to speak — an estimated development cost of $450 mil-lion — veritable handfuls of change.

Jumbo the circus elephant died young, suddenly and heroically (depending on which story you choose to believe). Jumbo the glacier is old, and is melting slowly and incrementally, without fanfare, like many glaciers. Jumbo the proposed resort has been hanging on to life by its fingernails,

for years and years and years and years and years.

Jumbo the circus elephant was too big to fit in a room. Jumbo the glacier and Jumbo the proposed resort likewise. “An elephant in the room” means an “obvious truth that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. The expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.”

Well, everyone talked about Jumbo the circus elephant. And we’ve been talking about the other Jumbos for years and years and years and years and years. In time we may forget about Jumbo the circus ele-phant, but it strikes me we’ll keep talking about the other Jumbos until we go the way of the mammoth.

AssociAted PressNEW YORK — The U.S.

Supreme Court used to be called Nine Old Men. That’s nothing compared to the age-less Rolling Stones. The jus-tices on average are the kid brothers and sisters of the for-ever young rock n’ rollers.

The average age for the four living members of The Rolling Stones is about two years older than the nine jus-tices of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mick Jagger, Keith Rich-ards, Charlie Watts and Ron-nie Wood have an average age of 68 years and 297 days, while the Supreme Court jus-tices’ average is 66 years and 364 days. That makes the rock band one year and 10 months older than the members of

the highest court of the Unit-ed States.

The Rolling Stones are cel-ebrating their 50th anniversa-ry this year with a five-date tour in New York, New Jersey and London, where the first show kicked off Sunday night.

Bryce Halverson made 45 saves to lead the Kimberley Dyna-miters to a tense 3-2 win over the visiting Creston Valley Thunder Cats at the Civic Centre on Tuesday night.

Kimberley had a 3-1 lead until the final min-ute of the game, when the T-Cats scored with 57 seconds left to make it a close finish.

“It was a little ner-vous at the end there, just the last few seconds was a little scramble around the net, but we just got the puck out and cleared it from the net and it worked out,” said defenceman Isaac Schacher.

Tyson Klingspohn, Eric Buckley and Matt

Gann scored for the Dy-namiters, while Trevor Hanna and Jaiden Ward responded for the T-Cats.

Creston avoided penalties in the sin bin, while failing to convert on four power play op-portunities.

Zach Straza, who manned the crease for the Thunder Cats, al-lowed three goals in 29 shots.

The Nitros got things going four minutes into the game, when Kling-spohn picked up a loose puck at the side of the net and put it in to open the scoring.

Kimberley doubled the lead at the halfway mark of the period, when Buckley poked the puck across the line on a rebound.

Creston answered late in the frame when Trevor Hanna cut in from the wing, walking around a Nitro defence-man, and waiting out Halverson before stuff-ing the puck home.

The Dynamiters also kept the lead when Halverson denied Brady Ward on a break-away.

“I thought Bryce held in there strong to-night,” said Jordan Foreman, who is step-ping up as interim head coach following the res-ignation of bench boss Roman Vopat. “Obvi-ously he faced a lot of shots, I think they were close to 50, 20 alone in the first period, and the first period is when you need to build some mo-mentum and he held us

in there.”However, the Nitros

regained a two-goal lead with five minutes to go in the second pe-riod, when Gann slapped a shot from the point that deflected a few times on its way to the back of the net.

Kimberley nearly had a bigger lead, as Taylor McDowell rang a shot off the post from the slot earlier in the frame.

It all came down to a tense final minute in the third period, as Jaiden Ward put a sharp angle shot into the net with a screen in front of Halverson.

Kimberley has also added two new de-fencemen in Tre Mason and Andrew Miller to the roster. Mason, 18,

was picked up from the North Okanagan Knights, while Miller—also 18—comes via the Osoyoos Coyotes.

“Both those addi-tions are going to be a big part of our team,” said Foreman.

Mason had an im-mediate impact, literal-ly speaking, as he abso-lutely levelled T-Cats forward Tyler Akeroyd in an open ice hit in the third period.

“He’s a great puck moving defenceman, likes to throw the body around as I’m sure ev-erybody saw in that one hit,” said Foreman.

The Nitros have pulled within two points of catching up to the Fernie Ghostriders, who lead the Eddie Mountain Division.

The men’s Avs were in tough during their re-cent road trip to Van-couver Island, dropping four straight games to Vancouver Island Uni-versity and Camosun College.

Like the women, the men showed signs of fa-tigue in their first match last Thursday against VIU, before sharping up their game in a rematch the following day.

The Avs picked it up against Camosun, but the Chargers is a very hot team that is in the top 10 national CCAA rankings, according to men’s head coach Steve Kamps.

“All weekend, we just couldn’t seem to find our game,” Kamps said. “It’s always tough when you travel on the road and especially that far out to the Island—I don’t want to use that as an excuse, but we

just didn’t have the en-ergy, especially the first night against VIU.”

Despite the fatigue, the Avs took a set on Thursday against the Mariners, before get-ting blanked 3-0 on Fri-day.

The matches against the Chargers were tighter, but the Avs fell 3-0 on Saturday and 3-1 on Sunday.

“We met a red hot team that couldn’t do anything wrong, a very balanced team and there’s a reason why they’re ranked number seven in Canada—a very talented squad,” said Kamps.

“Even if we were playing as good as we could, I don’t think we were going to beat them that day.”

Sunday’s match was the best performance of the weekend, as the Avs took away a set and left everything on the court, Kamps added.

“The guys put every-thing on the floor and we rebounded and had a very, very strong per-formance, unfortunate-ly, we came up just short in four sets,” Kamps said, “but I think another day, when that’s not the fourth game in four days, and maybe in our gym as well, I think we win that one.

“Overall, I think it was a good way to finish the road trip and it left a better taste in our mouths in the sense that we played well and performed well.”

Men’s Avalanche struggle against tough opposition

“All weekend, we just couldn’t seem to find our game. It’s always

tough when you travel on the road

and especially that far out the Island—I

don’t want to use that as an excuse, but we just didn’t have the energy...”

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ryan Murray is expected to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, delivering a blow to Canada’s world junior team.

The 19-year-old Everett Silvertips captain suf-fered a torn labrum in his left shoulder after taking a hit while playing Victoria on Nov. 16. On Tuesday, it was revealed the injury will require surgery that will sideline Murray for six months.

The defenceman was the second overall pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this year and was expected to challenge for a spot on the NHL team as soon as the lockout ended.

He had two goals and 17 points in 23 games for the Silvertips this season.

Murray represented Canada at last year’s world junior championship and would likely have been a key member of the team that competes in Ufa, Rus-sia next month.

Toronto FC revamps management, hires new presidentNEIL DAVIDSONCanadian Press

TORONTO - Toronto FC has taken its first big first step in restructuring after another disappoint-ing season.

The Canadian Press has learned that former D.C. United president and CEO Kevin Payne is joining the underachiev-ing club. An announce-ment is expected

Wednesday.Payne, 59, has been

the Washington D.C. club’s top executive since its formation in 1996. He has also served as its gen-eral manager.

A major restructuring move was expected by Toronto FC, which is looking to revamp after the latest in a series of poor seasons.

On Monday, during

his annual state of the league conference call, MLS commissioner Don Garber said the strug-gling Toronto franchise was planning some “bold moves.”

And Tom Anselmi, president and COO of TFC owner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has said a full review of the club and its structure was planned after the

franchise’s latest dismal season.

Also Tuesday, the club announced that designated player Eric Hassli will return next season after the club picked up the option on his contract for 2013. The 31-year-old French strik-er was obtained in a trade with the Vancouver Whitecaps on July 2, but injuries limited him to

seven league games. He scored three goals for To-ronto over that span.

Toronto (5-21-8) missed the playoffs for the sixth straight year since joining the league in 2007.

This season, the club posted franchise worsts for wins (five), losses (21), points (23), goals against (62) and winless streak (14).

CALGARY - Kevin Glenn would like noth-ing more than to have another shot at winning a Grey Cup.

Whether that’s with the Calgary Stampeders or not remains to be seen, but the 12-year Canadian Football League veteran believes that he still has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the CFL.

“I would be lying if I didn’t say that I think that I’m a starting quar-terback in this league,” Glenn said. “I think I am. If you’re a quarter-back and you don’t think that, then some-thing’s wrong.”

Just two days after the Stampeders lost 35-22 to the host Toron-to Argonauts in the 100th Grey Cup, Glenn spoke the media at Mc-Mahon Stadium for the final time this season.

“It’s been tough, just going back and trying to figure out where it went wrong and how come we’re not celebrating as Grey Cup champs right now,” Glenn said.

“You’ve got to give To-ronto credit and they were better than us on that day. We couldn’t get into a rhythm. When we did put drives to-gether, we came out with three points in-stead of seven.”

With Drew Tate out of the lineup with a frac-tured bone in his right arm, Glenn guided the Stamps to a 34-29 road win over the defending Grey Cup champion B.C. Lions in the West final on Nov. 18.

“If Kevin wasn’t here, you never know how the season would have went,” said receiver Marquay McDaniel, who was also Glenn’s teammate in Hamilton. “It’s good to have that veteran guy who’s been playing for a long time with a lot of experience. You definitely need it because you never know what could hap-pen.”

After throwing three touchdown passes against the Lions, Glenn couldn’t duplicate that feat on the CFL’s biggest stage against the Argos.

“I don’t think that

takes anything away from the season that we had and us getting to that point,” said Glenn, who completed 14-of-27 passes for 222 yards, no touchdowns and one interception against the Argos. “We’ve just got to come back stron-ger, tougher and fight for it again next year.”

Still under contract with the Stamps, Glenn said he’s expecting to return to Calgary next season.

“At this point, I leave as a Calgary Stampeder and hopefully come back as a Calgary Stam-peder,” he said. “If not, then that’s just the way the business rolls.”

Calgary head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is also counting on Glenn to be back in the fold next year.

“Right now, he’s under contract to come back and I expect Kevin to be at training camp,” Hufnagel said. “A lot of things can happen, but I have no preconceived thoughts of him being anywhere else except a Stampeder.”

Tate also has no qualms with Glenn re-turning next season.

“I hope he is back,” said Tate, who missed the majority of the regu-lar season after dislo-cating his left shoulder during the second game of the season in Toronto against the Argos. “I

hope everyone on this team is back.

“It would make us pretty tough, because we’ve got a lot of good guys on this team and a lot of them are really young too. I don’t think the white horse is too worried about anything really.”

Argos host rare victory parade for Toronto sports fansLori e wing

Canadian Press

TORONTO - Chad Owens danced onstage with his young son while Jalil Carter rode shirtless in the back of a pickup truck sipping from a Tim Hortons cup, and Adria-no Belli planted a smooch on Toronto’s embattled mayor.

Cornerback Evan McCollough arrived late, running to catch up to the parade at Yonge Street.

The Argonauts and their fans celebrated a rare treat Tuesday - a championship party in their own backyard.

And all the crazy an-tics culminated with the common refrain of “Re-peat!” from a CFL team and its fans that could certainly get used to winning.

“All the ups, the downs, the stretches we went through, when we lost five out of six games, just knowing that we stuck together, perse-vered through and never lost sight of our dream and our goal and we made it through,” said Owens, the wide receiv-er who won the league’s Most Outstanding Play-er award this season.

“It’s so special. The 100th Grey Cup. In our city. Never going to for-get that.”

The Argonauts pa-raded the venerable tro-phy through downtown Toronto, arriving at Na-than Phillips Square to a festive lunchtime crowd of several thousand to celebrate Sunday’s 35-22 victory over the Calgary Stampeders in the 100th Grey Cup.

Fans - clad in jerseys and tuques in the Argos’ double blue - lined the streets and packed into the square, bouncing up and down top the blar-ing pop music. Some blew on horns, others waved Argos flags or white towels in celebra-tion of the team’s first championship since 2004.

“This is awesome,” said quarterback Ricky Ray. “It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experi-ence. Not everybody gets to win the Grey Cup, and experience what we got to today, and just to come here and share it with our fans is awesome.”

The fans and players came ready to party. Carter, a rookie defen-sive back, danced shirt-

less atop a truck despite the numbing 3 C tem-perature, hollering at fans “Man, it’s hot out!”

One fan yelled back, about the Tim Hortons he clutched: “Carter, what’s in your cup?”

It was the first cham-pionship celebration in Toronto since the Argos won the Grey Cup eight years ago and will be a shot in the arm for the city’s long-suffering sports fans.

Canada’s largest sports market has been

its most underachiev-ing. Baseball’s Blue Jays haven’t won a champi-onship since 1993, hockey’s Maple Leafs have been shut out since 1967 and basketball’s Raptors and soccer’s To-ronto FC haven’t even come close.

“This is what you work for, this is what these guys put all their hours in for, and to have it in your own city, it doesn’t get any better than that,” said rookie head coach Scott Mila-

novich.“It’s been awesome,

we’ve felt the love all week, we could kind of feel the city turning and seeing the people wear-ing Argos gear outside and the chants going on downtown, it’s been fun and hopefully that’s going to carry over to next year.”

The Argonauts seemed destined to break Toronto’s sports curse since the begin-ning of the CFL season when they acquired Ray

in a blockbuster trade with the Edmonton Es-kimos, announcing they were serious about play-ing for the Cup in their hometown.

“When you take a job, you’ve got two or three years to do it or they fire you,” said gen-eral manager Jim Barker. “We were fortunate, things fell our way, we were able to make some deals, we were able to sign some players. . .things just kind of fell into place.

“Now we can take off and move forward. It’s like this is the begin-ning, it really is.”

The players danced onto the Nathan Phillips Square stage one by one - Owens, preceded by his nine-year-old son Chad Jr. The crowd ex-ploded when defensive captain Jordan Younger hoisted the Grey Cup aloft.

Mayor Rob Ford, wearing an Argos jersey with No. 1 on the front, didn’t get nearly as much love, despite de-claring it “Toronto Argo-nauts Day.”

“This is what you call a dream come true folks. We said they could do it and they did it,” said

Ford, who was greeted with a mix of boos and cheers one day after a judge ordered him re-moved from office in 14 days on conflict on in-terest charges.

Ford got a better re-sponse when defensive tackle Adriano Belli - known as the “Kissing Bandit” - grabbed him around the neck to plant a kiss on his cheek.

A fleet of 28 pickup trucks and one convert-ible carried quarterback Ray, running back and Grey Cup MVP Chad Kackert, Owens, and the rest of the players of their families - and, of course, the Grey Cup it-self - along the parade route.

“I can’t cry again, I’m starting to become that guy,” said defensive end Ricky Foley, a native of nearby Courtice, Ont., who was named the Grey Cup’s most valu-able Canadian.

“There were a lot of Argos jerseys out there - a lot of double blue - but there was guys in busi-ness suits and people in cabs, and people from all walks of life celebrat-ing what we did for this city and what they helped us accomplish.”

NEW YORK - Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa are set to show up on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, and fans will soon find out whether drug al-legations block the for-mer stars from reaching baseball’s shrine.

The ballot will be an-nounced Wednesday.

Craig Biggio, Mike Pi-azza and Curt Schilling are certain to be among the other first-time eligi-bles. Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines are the top holdover can-didates.

Longtime members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America will vote through next month. The much-await-ed results will be an-nounced Jan. 9, with players needing to be list-ed on 75 per cent of the ballots to gain induction.

The upcoming elec-tion is certain to fuel the most polarizing Hall de-bate since career hits

leader Pete Rose’s betting problems put him on baseball’s permanently ineligible list, barring him from the BBWAA ballot.

Bonds, Clemens and Sosa each posted some of the biggest numbers in the game’s history, but were all tainted by accu-sations that they used performance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds is baseball’s all-time home runs lead-er with 762 and won a record seven MVP awards. Clemens ranks ninth in career wins with 354 and took home a re-cord seven Cy Young Awards. Sosa is eighth on the home run chart with 609.

If recent voting for the Hall is any indication, the odds are solidly stacked against Bonds, Clemens and Sosa.

Mark McGwire is 10th on the career home run list with 583, but has never received even 24 per cent in his six tries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected occurs, like it or not. You might feel as if you can’t make a situation conform to your expectations -- or any-one else’s, for that matter. Stop attempting to handle this issue, and just let it flow naturally. Tonight: Make calls before de-ciding. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If ever there was a time not to make a money commitment, it is today. Use care, even when counting your change. If you feel as though you are fiscally careless in some area, decide to change that pattern -- if not im-mediately, then in the very near future. Tonight: A lucky turn of events. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening right now; however, know that you might be the linchpin in this case. Though at first you might not be able to get a grasp on the situation, you will, and faster than you think. Tonight: Enjoy

the roller-coaster ride. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Full Moons greatly affect you, as your planetary ruler is the Moon. This particular Full Moon is an eclipse, which promises changes in the next few months with a child or a relationship. The outcome could be very good. Go with the flow, and take it easy. Tonight: Listen well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Something that you want might fall into your lap in a most secretive manner ... perhaps not today, but in the near future. A friend could complicate your life. It is up to you whether you will make a fuss about it or just let it go. Remain focused on a different matter in the mean-time. Tonight: Celebrate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide to loosen up rather than fight city hall. A boss could be demanding, which might cause a conflict for you with someone who has other plans. At the moment, you are seeing the situation as black and white. Try to find a way in which both demands can be met. Tonight: A

must appearance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The unexpected marks a situ-ation. You might be trying to hold on to something that re-ally isn’t doable at the moment. Let it go. News from a distance might impress you, or at least make you smile. Know that you are heading in the right direc-tion. Tonight: Act on an idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be seeing a lot of back-and-forth in several of your more substantial friend-ships. Know that there is very little you can do to change this. Remain true to yourself, yet be willing to discuss a financial matter with a key person. To-night: Say “yes” to an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Having to juggle mixed energy, incoming requests and some irrational behavior could throw anyone off. Remain focused on what’s most important, and you will weather the storm. Stay on top of these hassles and allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and you’ll ac-complish a lot more than you thought possible. Understand that you might need to cut someone off or ignore a situa-tion altogether in order to do this. Avoid getting involved in others’ issues; use this day for you. Tonight: Get some exercise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see a situation differently from others. You often come up with some far-fetched ideas, and this is yet another exam-ple. Your drive and energy help you turn an important idea into reality. Friendship will prevail, even if a quarrel begins. To-night: Spend time with a favor-ite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay anchored, know what is happening and make choices accordingly. You could be a lit-tle off-kilter because of what someone does. Understand that you do not need to put yourself in the line of fire; instead, you can withdraw and refuse to take part in this person’s scenario. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Dear Annie: I am a woman who fol-lows a strict diet. It has nothing to do with weight or any medical condition. I don’t care about calories. It’s about eating or-ganic, and there are a lot of things I do not tolerate, such as corn syrup, food color-ing, table sugar, unfiltered water, etc.

If I do not approve of a treat someone has made, is it appropriate to politely de-cline to accept it? On occasions where I’m given something I don’t have to eat in front of them, I graciously accept it and then give it away later. What if I’m on a date and the guy wants to take me where I wouldn’t ordinarily eat? Should I insist on sticking to my diet?

I can handle a few splurges here and there, but how do I avoid constantly eat-ing junk without being rude or weird? I live in a rural area, so there are not many restaurant choices. -- Upstate Dieter

Dear Dieter: If someone offers you food that you prefer not to eat, don’t feel obligated to stick it in your mouth. Say “thank you” and put it aside, or if you are feeling expansive, explain that you have difficulty tolerating certain foods. When out on a date, you will need to be flexible if your choices are limited. Most restaurants have options that, while not ideal, are tol-erable on occasion -- plain baked chicken or fish, for example. On subsequent dates, when you know each other better, let the guy know that you only eat organic. Then offer to cook him dinner.

Dear Annie: My mom is in her 60s and has been both divorced and widowed. She would love to find someone to spend time with, and we want her to be happy.

The problem is, Mom has devoted herself to this “man search” to the point that nothing else is important. When she meets a man, she becomes total-ly absorbed in him. When we ask her to do things with her grandchildren, she replies, “I don’t know. I might get a bet-ter offer.” When we invite her to the kids’ events, she says, “I’m not sure. I am hop-ing someone will ask me out.”

Now we don’t call as much because it hurts to know we’re second best to any guy she just met. Mom is often lonely be-cause she waits by the phone for “him” instead of doing things with other peo-ple. We wish she would also remember to make time for the family who loves her and the friends who want to spend time with her. Instead, she neglects us for any man who pops into her life. What can we do? -- Never the Better Offer

Dear Never: There’s not much you can do if your mother insists on behaving like an adolescent girl. Try to accept this be-havior as best you can. It isn’t intended to hurt you. Mom’s self-worth is tied to hav-ing a man in her life, and without one, she doesn’t feel she has value.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Wondering,” whose daughter-in-law has an overly close relationship with her 20-year-old son.

My son was 4 years old when his father and I divorced. A few years later, his dad left his life for good. My son has struggled throughout his years with social anxiety and many other mental issues, and we have been to counseling. He is also ab-normally close to me and doesn’t like to leave my side.

Now that he is a teenager, people com-ment that it is not normal and he should be out with his friends. It is very easy for people to judge without knowing what it’s like to have a child who struggles with life. I do agree with your answer, though, that the family needs ongoing counseling. -- SFIP

Edward SawickiJuly 10, 1931 -

November 22, 2012

Ed Sawicki passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 22, 2012 in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 81 years.

Ed was born to Felix and Mary Sawicki in Willow Creek, Saskatchewan and raised in Melfort, Saskatchewan. His life was

a celebration of hard work and dedication to his wife, family and friends. Ed will be greatly missed but his life will be remembered by his love and joy of life.

Ed found great happiness playing cards for hours with friends and family and always enjoyed a good joke. He was an avid handy man and was never without many projects or dreams of what he was going to build next. When the latest project was complete he was always very proud and loved showing off his handy work. Ed looked forward to his annual hunting trips with the boys, where lots of laughs and memories were created. Ed worked for Canada Post for 24 years, with his last posting being Kimberley, BC when he retired in 1990. After retirement, Ed enjoyed travelling and was particularly fond of travelling to Alaska in the spring to enjoy the new blossoms and the beautiful scenery that came with it.

Ed is predeceased by his father Felix Sawicki; mother Mary Sawicki; his sister Emelia (George) Penkala; his brother Joeseph (Adeline) Sawicki; his sister Anna (John) Zembik; his brother Anton (Jean) Sawicki; his sister Antonina Sawicki; and survived by his wife of 54 years Lyla Sawicki; his sister Gyna (Jean) Falck; children Calvin (Theckla) Sawicki, Brenda Gillespie and Cheryl (Chris Bakke) Evans; grandchildren Takara (Patrick) Mohnssen; James (Tabitha Romano) Hopkins; Carey Gillespie; great grandchildren Conner; Kian and Ailish, Mohnssen.

The family wishes to thank the Dialysis Department of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, as well as a special thank you to Dr. Pieterese for the kindness and care he provided to Ed and his family.

A celebration of Ed’s life will be held at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Kimberley on Friday, November 30, 2012 at 11:00 am. He will be Interred in the Kimberley Cemetery Columbarium.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

Do You Want to Practise Forestry in BC?New Forestry Designation Available Now!

The Natural Resource Professional (NRP) designation is new and recent grads from natural resources conservation programs at the University of BC, Thompson Rivers University and the University of Northern BC can apply today. The NRP designation will allow you to practise aspects of professional forestry in every corner of the province. You might nd yourself wor ing for government, consultants, industry, Aboriginal groups and more! For more information visit our website at www.abcfp.ca to see which programs qualify.

Good attitude, that is!You hold an accounting designation (or very close to it or equivalent experience), but your friends and coworkers don’t really think of you as an “accountant”. You know your numbers instinctively, but are keenly interested in being a part of the business’ operations. You always take personal pride in the quality of the information you produce and you can effectively keep many balls in the air at one time in a busy, multi-organization entity. Those are the critical success factors for the Group Controller that will join our team – along with a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself. You are an accountant, after all.We are a group of companies located in the Invermere area that includes Windermere Water & Sewer, Parr Utilities Ltd. and Point Developments. We are involved in everything from water and sewer utilities to residential and commercial land development and every day puts a different challenge on the desk. Your attention to detail and passion for doing things right the first time is what differentiates you from others. In addition, you will be fluent in a fully computerized environment, willing to dive into research whenever required and be knowledgeable of and up to date on current financial reporting standards in a private company environment. If you’re interested in being part of our team, please get that resume into our hands. This is a permanent part-time role with significant flexibility, but requires a commitment to meeting the deadlines related to our [email protected]

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
