BARRY COULTER, TRE VOR CR AWLEY AND
ARNE PETRYSHENIn a dramatic evening
of politics, Cranbrook elected an entirely new City Council, including the office of mayor.
Preliminary results showed Candidate Lee Pratt defeated incumbent mayor Wayne Stetski, 3396 votes to 2192. John York received 144 votes in his third run at the may-or’s seat. The referendum question on the ballot — “Are you in favour of Council adopting the City of Cranbrook cease-fluo-ridation bylaw No. 3799, 2014, which authorizes stopping the addition of fluoride to the municipal water supply effective Jan-uary 1, 2015?” — was de-feated 2,794 to 2,473.
Election night fea-tured Cranbrook’s first use of automatic voting machines. Preliminary re-sults were available two hours after the polls closed Saturday night.
“I feel really good,” said Mayor Elect Lee Pratt, at a campaign party at the Heritage Inn. “One thing I really feel good about is the numbers that came out, the people who came out to vote and I liked this year that there were some younger coun-cillors there. They got the younger vote out. I think that’s really good when you can get the youth in-volved, because that’s the future of our town and they’re starting to get in-volved now.”
The results were stun-ning in several respects. Besides the mayor, the three incumbent candi-dates finished out of the running — Diana J. Scott, Sharon Cross and Gerry Warner, though Cross’s

C A RO LYN G R A N TDaily Bulletin
A jubilant Don McCormick accepted congratulations from supporters at the Kimberley Elks Club Saturday night as the news came in at just before 9 p.m. that he was the newly elected Mayor of Kimberley.
Elected or re-elected to City Council (in order of votes) are Sandra Roberts, Kent Good-win, Darryl Oakley, Albert Ho-glund, Nigel Kitto and Bev Middlebrook.
“It was a hard day,” McCor-mick said. “It was probably the most anxious day I have spent
in a long, long time.“It’s a relief. It’s very emo-
tional. I feel really, really good for my team. They worked so hard.”
McCormick says he felt he had support from across the community, not any particular groups.
“I feel grateful.”McCormick says he be-
lieves the new Council will be a strong group.
“We are going to have a great Council. I am really, real-ly looking forward to working with them. There’s so much to
do, I feel like we need to start Monday morning.”
Preliminary numbers are as follows:
Don McCormick,1301; Ron McRae, 1142; Doug Johnson, 181
Councillors:Sandra Roberts, 1898; Kent
Goodwin, 1853; Darryl Oakley, 1817; Albert Hoglund,1601; Nigel Kitto, 1492; and Bev Mid-dlebrook,1447.
Those six are elected. Darren Close had 1407
votes and Brent Bush, 1340.This was the first time the
City of Kimberley made use of automated voting machines and the count went quickly and without a hitch on Satur-day evening. Instead of wait-ing until midnight for hand-counting as in previous years, results were tabulated before 9 p.m.
Chief Election Officer and Corporate Officer for the City of Kimberley, Kelly Harms, said, “We are pleased to see that the community embraced automated voting.”

seventh place was a near run thing to Wesly Gra-ham’s sixth spot, 1,984 votes to Cross’s 1,959. Cross had actually pulled ahead when the mail-in results were counted.
The new Council is also notable for its relative youth. Tom Shypitka (3,191 votes), Ron Popoff (2,714), Isaac Hockley (2,289), Danielle Cardozo (2,219), Norma Blissett (2,194) and Wesly Gra-ham (1,984) will take their seats at Cranbrook City Hall at the next Council meeting Decem-ber 8, 2014. Mayor Lee Pratt will preside.
“I think it looks good,” Pratt said of the Council. “There’s some good diver-sity on there, there’s some younger people and of course they’re going to have some good view-points. They want Cran-brook to progress and grow too, so they’re going to be along the lines of getting things on track here.
“I think the diversity of it is good. There’s busi-ness representation, there’s arts and culture and it’s just a good diverse council and I think we can work well together.”

Barry CoulterThe use of the new
automatic voting ma-chines for the first time in a Cranbrook election made a profound differ-ence in the tabulation of results.
The polls closed at 8 p.m. at Laurie Middle School, and final (pre-liminary) results were posted around 10 p.m. This included the bal-lots from Saturday’s election day itself, mail-in and special ballots, and the approximately 2,000 ballots from the advance polls.
The results of these categories were posted as they were tabulated, making for a dramatic two hours for those as-sembled in the Laurie
School gym — election workers, media, and several of the candi-dates.
“I think it went well,” said Brian Wooff, Chief Electoral Officer for the City of Cranbrook, of election day and the use of the machines and the new type of paper bal-lots.
“We were really busy for about six hours straight, but the workers worked hard and we got through it. There were some line ups in the middle of the day, but we cleared them out pretty quick.”
Twenty-five workers took care of voters throughout the day, with another half dozen who came in to provide
relief for meal breaks and such.
And by all accounts, the new machines and ballots went over quite well.
“I really like it,” Wooff said of the new process. “The people seemed to like the ballots, no one complained about the ballots themselves.
“And the fact that there’s no having to rely on eyes, after being awake for 16 hours, is a good thing.”
Preliminary results from the City of Cran-brook indicate that voter turnout was about 39 per cent, up from 33 per cent in the previous election in 2011.
Voting machines sped up the process

Barry CoulterPreliminary results
from Saturday’s munici-pal election indicate voter turnout was 39 per cent in Cranbrook, up from 2011’s 33 per cent.
Out of an estimated 14,819 eligible voters, 5,786 ended up casting ballots.
Voters in Cranbrook cast ballots in several categories — Mayor,
City Council, School District 5 Trustee, and RDEK Director for Area C.
School District Trust-ee preliminary results are as follows: Patricia Whalen (1930 votes), Doug McPhee (1688), Chris Johns (1791), Gail Brown (1722), Trina Ayling (1705). McPhee is the new face on the board, taking over the
seat from Olivia Be-sanger who didn’t run this election.
RDEK Area C direc-tor Rob Gay was re-elected with 543 votes over challenger Don Flowers, who gar-nered 215 votes.
The referendum qus-tion on the ballot was whether to discontinue the fluoridation of the Cranbrook water sup-
ply. (“Are you in favour of Council adopting City of Cranbrook Cease Flu-oridation Bylaw No. 3799, 2014, which au-thorizes stopping the addition of fluoride to the municipal water supply effective January 1, 2015?”)
2794 voted against, 2473 voted in favour. Fluoridation will con-tinue.
Cranbrook votes for fluoridation, Area C director, School Board Trustees; Voter turnout at 39%
One of the advantag-es of the automated machines was the abili-ty to catch spoiled bal-lots immediately. If someone, for example, voted for seven Coun-cillors instead of six, the machine picks it up as soon as the ballot is en-tered. This allows the voter the chance to vote again.
Voter turnout was in the 50 per cent range, which is high for mu-nicipal elections, al-though Kimberley is usually above the aver-
age. Of the 5,358 of eli-gible electors, 49 per cent participated in the election. The average municipal voter turn-out in the province is approximately 33 per cent.
Of the total number of ballots cast (2365) there were 23 Non-Res-ident Property Electors and 165 new registered voters that cast ballots in the 2014 Kimberley municipal election.
“We are satisfied with the voter turnout this year,” said Harms.

Pratt ran his cam-paign based on fiscal re-sponsibility.
“I think people liked the financial responsibil-ity and I think we have to get back on that track and of course, the rest is economic development. We have to broaden our tax base and if we get more industry and more people living here, that’s going to happen and that’ll help our economy.
“If we broaden our tax base, that’s going to free up more money for the roads and infrastruc-ture, which is in bad need of repair.”
The new Councillors spoke to the Townsman Saturday, and all ex-pressed appreciation, gratitude and respect for the democratic process that had just unfolded.
“I’m very excited and overwhelmed, and in awe of the results,” said Dan-
ielle Cardozo. “I’m thankful to the commu-nity for voting me in, I’m thankful to my support-ers who helped share my platform, and I’m really looking forward to work-ing with the new council and our new mayor.”
“I’m thrilled that I was able to become one of the councillors that will hopefully lead Cran-brook into the future for the next four years,” said Ron Popoff. “I say to all of the residents of Cran-brook that voted that I’m going to be looking at governance for the en-tirety of our population, and that I’m really hum-bled and honoured by this opportunity to help lead Cranbrook.”
“I was pleased with the campaign that we ran,” said Norma Blissett. “I thought we did a good job — we had to fly around ahead of the ad-
vance polls, and the signs up in town and good coverage.
“I’m surprised by to-night’s results.” Blissett continued. “I thought the incumbents would be re-elected and there would be three new councillors, which I had hoped to be one of.
“But anyway, the peo-ple have spoken, and as you know, in democracy, the people are always right.
“So we will forge ahead, all of us figuring it out together.”
“I think Cranbrook made a statement to-night,” Shypitka said, who with 3,191 votes was almost 500 votes ahead of the next nearest can-didate. “Obviously there was something in the air that a change needed to come. Not finger point-ing or saying anything negative about the last council that was in place
but I think it’s time that we try to bridge the gaps. We have bigger fish to fry in Cranbrook.”
Wesley Graham said it feels great.
“No complaints at all. I’ve been in it for nine years in Creston and to be able to gain a seat in Cranbrook is unbeliev-able.”
“It was a real nail biter for sure. At the end of the day people wanted a change. I bring experi-ence, nine years around a council table and I can
Voters pick new Cranbrook Council, mayorContinued from page 1 get stuff done and I’m
prepared to do that and roll up my sleeves to do that for Cranbrook.”
“I’m excited to repre-sent the youth,” Isaac Hockley said. “We have a lot to change in this community and it was a huge win for us.

Mayor Wayne Stetski offered his congratula-tions to the winners of Saturday’s election and his thoughts on the campaign and commu-nity in a post on his campaign Facebook
page Sunday.“Congratulations to
Lee, Tom, Ron, Isaac, Danielle, Norma and Wes for forming the next administration — I will be watching with interest,” Stetski wrote.
“It will be challeng-
ing for you to fulfill your election promises and still move Cranbrook forward but I do wish you all the best.
“I was surprised by last night’s outcome but there is an old saying that the people are al-ways right. The test for politicians comes two or three years after elec-tion day — if people will still say publicly that they voted for you you’re likely doing an okay job!
“We live in a com-munity of caring citi-zens and I want to say thank you to all of the
great people that I had the pleasure to meet and to work with over the last three years. For those of you whom I did not meet, my door was always open to you.
“My wish is that the Mayor’s office contin-ues to be a respectful, transparent, open and accessible place where every citizen’s voice is welcome to be heard!
“I remain your Mayor until December 8 — feel free to stop by City Hall for a chat.”
Stetski was elected in the 2011 municipal election.

F r a n k i e S e i t z
November 20, 2014 is a special day for anyone who has ever been, or is, a child. It marks the 21st year of Na-
tional Child Day in Canada. On this date in 1993 the Canadian Government enacted Bill C-371, otherwise known as the Child Day Act. It is a bill which commemorates the United Nations (UN) adoption of two documents regarding the rights of all chil-dren and youths. On National Child Day, Canada honours our children, as well as The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child which happened on No-vember 20, 1959, and The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child explains the basic human rights to which children (under the age of 18) every-where are entitled to. Some of these rights are: the right to a name and an identity, the right to an education, the right to a safe, protective, loving, and nurturing living envi-ronment, the right to food and clothing, the right to an opinion, friends, and interests, the right to physical and mental protection from all harm, the right to your own religion and belief practices, and the right to rest and play.
The Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) is a community-based family drop-in program delivered by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). It was established in 1993 as a direct result of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. For information about local CAPC programs, please contact Niki at 250-421-8096 or e-mail capccran@gmail.com
The purpose of Child Day is to promote
and increase awareness regarding the Con-vention. It is a day to educate all Canadians on the Rights of the Child. It is especially important to educate children on these rights. This education will help children and their peers know what they are entitled to. It will make them aware of what rights in are and what sort of personal and social respon-sibility comes with having them. It will help educate children to know if their rights have been violated, and finally it gives them social and personal power which helps them feel good about themselves.
As adults, we can support and advocate for all Canadian children’s rights by voicing our concerns about Canadian children’s rights violations to the politicians of Cana-da, become educated on the Rights of the Child, and educate children about their rights and responsibilities.
Children are gifts that need to be cele-brated with encouragement and love. So, on
November 20th – and every single day – cel-ebrate the children in and around your life and the world.
For more information go to Unicef Cana-da’s website (www.unicef.ca/en/take-action/article/celebrate-national-child-day-2014), or the Public Health Agency website (www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/ncd-jne/kit-eng.php) for print-outs and activity ideas.

When news got out that US Presi-dent Barack Obama and China’s President Xi Jinping had reached
an agreement on climate change, the Amer-ican blogosphere lit up with negative com-ments. “The problem is, Obama probably means it,” wrote Jazz Shaw of the major con-servative political blog Hot Air, “while China is almost certainly just yanking the world’s col-lective chain yet again with a bit of lip service as they seek better trade ar-rangements.”
But Jazz Shaw has got it exactly back-wards. It’s the United States that cannot be trusted to keep its commitments, because the American political system is mired in a perpetual civil war and at the moment it is the climate-change deniers who have the upper hand. Whereas the Chinese will probably keep their word, because there are no denialists in China and the govern-ment is genuinely terrified of climate change.
The Obama-Xi deal is not wonderful, but it is the first step in the right direction that the world’s two biggest emitters of carbon dioxide have taken together. Obama promised that the US will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to at least 26 percent below the 2005 level by 2025. Xi promised more vaguely that China’s emis-sion would peak by 2030 or earlier (and, by implication, then start to decline).
That looks a bit lopsided, of course, but any deal that takes account of current real-
ities is bound to look like that. China is still a poor country, and it is racing to grow its economy fast enough to preserve political stability. That means it has to generate a lot more energy fast.
China is installing a great deal of clean power (around half the world’s new solar energy plants last year, for example), but just to keep the lights on it has to go on building lots of fossil-fuel plants as well – and most of them burn the dirtiest fuel, coal. Official policy is driving the number of new
coal-fired plants down, however, which is one reason why Xi thinks he can keep his promise that emissions will stop growing by 2030.
Obama, by contrast, presides over an economy that is already very rich. The av-erage American citizen still consumes twice as much energy as the average Chi-nese, but total US energy consumption stopped rising years ago. Making 26 per-cent cuts in American energy use over the next ten years is not a huge challenge; it only requires a reduction of about 2.6 per-cent a year.
So the American and Chinese commit-ments in the new deal, while asymmetri-cal, are not unequal in terms of the politi-cal and economic burdens they impose. The real difference lies in the likelihood that the two sides will stick to the deal over the next 10-15 years as they have prom-ised. China probably will. The United States probably won’t.
The Chinese regime knows what global
warming will do to the country if it is not contained. A study commissioned by the World Bank about a decade ago, but never published (quite likely at China’s insis-tence), concluded that if average global temperature rises by 2 degrees C, China will lose about 38 percent of its food pro-duction.
As in all predictions of this sort, that number may be wrong by five or even ten percentage points, but that doesn’t really matter. Even a 28 percent loss of food pro-duction would mean semi-permanent famine in China. The regime would not survive that, and much of the growth that has been achieved by great sacrifice in the past three decades would be lost.
Beijing takes climate change VERY seri-ously. Even though the regime must also keep the economic growth going if it wish-es to survive, it knows that it must start making real concessions on emissions in order to facilitate a global deal.
Xi did not set this target of capping Chi-nese emissions by 2030 without a great deal of discussion and debate within the regime. Having made the promise, he will keep it. So will his successors, at least so long as the Communist Party goes on rul-ing China. Whereas Obama will be gone in two years, and cannot bind his successors to keep his promise in any way.
The Chinese know this, of course, but they are so desperate to get matters mov-ing on the climate front that they are will-ing to take a chance that the deal will sur-vive.

The local political scene will return to somewhat of a normal state after the drama (mainly on our Letters to the
Editor pages) of the municipal election. And what a dramatic turn of events it was as voters opted for the new. All in for Cran-brook with an entirely new Mayor and councillors and partially new in Kimberley with a new Mayor and two new council-lors.
We wish Mayor-Elect Lee Pratt and the Council in Cranbrook and Mayor-Elect Don McCormick and his Council in Kimberley the best of luck as they navigate the some-times treacherous waters of local gover-nance.
And while we were somewhat ob-sessed with local goings on, politics across the land continued apace.
There were some surprises as well, and as always interesting tidbits across the country.
In PEI no one saw the resignation of popular Liberal Premier Robert Ghiz coming. Eight years a Premier of Canada’s smallest province, the 40-year old Ghiz informed his Caucus colleagues he was resigning just moments before he formal-ly did so. And all across the land of the bright red mud the collective reaction was.. “Wha..?”
What would make a politician at the top of his game suddenly resign? The cynic in me will always look for scandal. But in the ensuing days, no skeleton has
leapt from Ghiz’s closet. He appears to be a stand-up guy. Now one thing Ghiz said in his speech was that though he did not have any intention of running federally, he did not rule it out. Duh, duh, duh! Could Ghiz be thinking of hitching his wagon to the Trudeau train? A federal
election looms in 2015, the Liberals continue to do fairly well in the polls, though as we know that can all shift in a moment’s notice. But, Ghiz could very well parlay his solid term as Premier into a seat in Ottawa. We will
continue to check to see if the PEI potato is sprouting. I’ll keep you informed.
And here’s an interesting snippet from Newfoundland that may send chills down the spines of city councillors who may wish to swim against the tide.
Mary Gary Gosine on Bell Island is trying to oust two councillors, whose be-haviour he says is harassing in nature and interfering with the normal operations of the community. The Mayor told CBC News, “‘These two don’t want to vote on anything. Not even on an agenda. That’s not good enough for the town. We have two people on council that feels every-thing has to be their way.”
It has created enough of a fuss that the province has stepped in to investigate. And last month, the RCMP had to be called in to a bargaining session between the town and the union when two coun-cillors got into an argument over the ne-
gotiations. We shall hope the rock doesn’t devolve into the government style of an-other island, Taiwan, where flying fists in the legislature barely raise an eyebrow.
Meanwhile in Quebec the Charbon-neau commission concluded its two and a half year investigation into corruption in the construction industry. Apparently, “Charbonneau uncovered collusion, kick-backs, illegal campaign financing, orga-nized crime infiltrating construction”. Oy. The corruption has cost two mayors their jobs and left a rather bad taste in the mouths of taxpayers. Charbonneau prom-ised on Twitter that ‘together, collectively we will build an ethical corruption-free and collusion-free society”. That’s a tall order. Let’s all watch while they do that.
And Manitoba has gone through an upheaval of its own. Premier Greg Se-linger withstood a rebellion by five prom-inent cabinet ministers, who called for his resignation. The ministers (now former ministers as the Premier accepted all their resignations) said that the boss man was not listening to their concerns/advice and they couldn’t continue on. The Premier promptly replaced them. The press is call-ing them “The Gang of Five”. Ooh, how very chilling. And when I say chilling in Manitoba, you know I mean it. The jury is out on whether Selinger survives.
Look at that, I couldn’t even get half way across the country in 600 words. And people say politics are boring.

We’re all we needKootenay Ice rattle off two more wins; extend streak to five

Don’t look now, but the Kootenay Ice have strung together five wins in a row.
Beginning a critical stretch of five consecu-tive games against WHL Central Division oppo-nents, the Ice got off to the start they needed this past weekend, edg-ing the Calgary Hitmen in overtime Friday, be-fore disposing of the Le-thbridge Hurricanes on the road Saturday.
“We have confidence now,” said Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon after Friday’s win. “We have a good group of guys. If you look at our last three wins, they’re all one-goal wins…That shows a lot of character. It’s not that we’re winning games by three or four goals. It shows a lot of character and that’s al-ways good.
“We know if we want to move up in the stand-ings, we have to win some road games.”
The home win against the Hitmen pushed the Ice to 6-4-0-0 at Western Financial Place this sea-son. Saturday’s 4-2 win in Lethbridge was only the second road triumph of the campaign for the Ice, now 2-9-0-0 away from Cranbrook.
Friday night at West-ern Financial Place was a wild one, as the Hitmen and Ice went back and forth before Luke Philp’s overtime marker ended the indecision with less
than 15 seconds to play in extra time.
“In the first period, we came out a little bit flat, but we got going after that,” said forward Zak Zborosky, who managed a goal and as-sist against Calgary. “It was a wild one, a couple goals back and forth. It was a fun game to play.”
The Central Division rivals exchanged the lead three times before the 19-year-old Philp beat Hitmen goaltender Evan Johnson with a quick snapshot, wrap-ping up a 7-6 victory for the hosts.
“The coaches aren’t too happy with that, but sometimes it’s just the way the game goes,” Philp said Friday. “Lots of times guys are looking for offense and if the [de-fenceman] is pinching up or you miss the net wide, it creates offense the other way. There’s no real explanation for the way it went [against Cal-gary], but I guess we’ll take the two points.”
Tim Bozon gave the Ice a chance to win when he tied the game with a short-handed tally late in the third period.
“I was a little bit frus-trated after the second period and I said, com-ing into the third, I have to step up my game and do things a little bit bet-ter,” Bozon said. “That’s what I did. I stepped up and got some good luck to score that goal to feel a little bit better.”
The native of Val-
bonne, France, posted a goal and an assist in Fri-day’s win, while line mate Sam Reinhart rat-tled off four assists, in-cluding helpers on the tying and winning goals.
Philp’s game-winner capped a standout four-point performance (2G, 2A) for the veteran for-ward against the Hit-men.
In Saturday night’s 4-2 win in Lethbridge, the native of Canmore, Alta., continued where he left off against Cal-gary.
Philp took a feed from none other than Sam Re-inhart before sending the puck past Hurricanes goaltender Zac Robi-doux on the power play, giving the Ice a 3-1 lead in the second period. The tally stood as the eventual winner, giving the 5-foot-10 Philp win-ning tallies two nights in a row.
“We’re never giving up on games when we get down,” Philp said Fri-day. “Following the sys-tem the way it’s meant to be played is working for us right now.”
While the power-play tally was Philp’s only point of the night, Rein-hart continued to steadi-ly stack up the points, earning a goal and two assists in Lethbridge.
With seven points in two games this week-end, the Buffalo Sabres star prospect has 10 points (3G, 7A) in four games since his return to Cranbrook.
Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin earned his sev-enth and eighth wins of the campaign, turning aside 52 of the 60 shots he faced this weekend.
With two more wins this weekend, the Ice (8-13-0-0) pull out of the WHL’s Central Division cellar into fifth place, two points ahead of sixth-place Lethbridge ((5-12-3-1). There’s still plenty of ground to be made up, as fourth-place Calgary (10-8-1-2) holds a seven-point cushion as of Sunday, Nov. 16 at 4 p.m.
The Central Division cruise continues for the Kootenay Ice when they host the division-lead-ing Medicine Hat Tigers (14-4-1-1) Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.
Notes: The Hitmen and Ice have combined to score 34 goals in three games this season, in-cluding 24 goals at Western Financial Place…The Kootenay Ice skated one player short both nights as F Kyle O’Connor (lower body, one to two weeks) and F Levi Cable (lower body, two to three weeks) were injured in practice late last week…O’Connor and Cable joined F Jon Mar-tin (upper body, one to two weeks) and D Tan-ner Faith (upper body, two to four weeks) on the injured list…A total of 2,329 fans took in Fri-day’s jaw-dropping overtime contest against the Hitmen...

alouettes romp over B.C. Lions in CFL east semifinalMONTREAL - Jonathan Crompton threw touch-
down passes to S.J. Green and Duran Carter and the Montreal defence was a wall as the Alouettes defeat-ed the B.C. Lions 50-17 in the CFL East Division semifinal on Sunday afternoon.
Back-up quarterback Tanner Marsh ran in two TDs. Brandon Rutley and Chris Rainey each ran one in and Jerald Brown scored on a fumble recovery as the Alouettes put up their first playoff win in four tries since their last Grey Cup win in 2010.
Montreal will face the Tiger-Cats in the East final next Sunday in Hamilton.
Shawn Gore and Ernest Jackson had late touch-downs and Paul McCallum had a field goal for the Lions, who finished fourth in the West but crossed over because they had a better record than the East’s third-place team, the Toronto Argonauts.
In the CFL West semifinal, the Edmonton Eski-mos led the Saskatchewan Roughriders 18-10 in the fourth quarter at press time. The winner will face the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL West final Sunday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be overthinking a problem that you feel you must handle today. A serious talk with a loved one could result in an ef-fective solution. Tune in to your instincts if you feel someone or an offer is too good to be true. Tonight: Get together with a friend for dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity dominates the early morning. You might won-der why someone seems so seri-ous. In an attempt to change this person’s mood, you might cause a problem. Try to listen to what he or she has to say, and honor his or her feelings. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You seem to have the right words at the right time, only someone might not hear them. This person could be too wrapped up in his or her own issues. The unexpected will oc-cur with a friend or in a meeting. Tonight: Finish up any important work, then decide.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll want to initiate a con-versation in the morning, yet as the day goes on, you might have mixed feelings. You will gain a new perspective on this matter once you detach from the thought of having the actual talk. Tonight: Buy a favorite des-sert on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A conversation will let you know that you and a friend are on the same page. A child or loved one could distract you, which is likely to make it difficult to pay atten-tion to this person. Consider tak-ing part of the day off. Tonight: Make light of the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your high energy might be off-putting to those who are experiencing a slow start to the day. Others won’t be as positive or as open as you seem to be. By the afternoon, consider getting a head start on holiday shopping -- at least make a list. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be out of sorts in the morning, but by the afternoon,
you’ll feel a change in energy. Make an important phone call or start an important project. A partner or loved one could act in the most unpredictable manner. Remain nurturing and kind. To-night: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In the morning, there could be an awkward moment or two with a friend, but you’ll still be able to complete whatever you are doing. In the evening, you might be doing a lot of thinking. Do yourself a favor and don’t jump to any conclusions yet. Tonight: Play it low-key. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be much fussier than you realize, and it is likely to cause a problem. It is import-ant to know when to let go of certain issues, especially when dealing with others, as they could personalize your com-ments. The afternoon allows a key meeting to go smoothly. Be ready to encounter an awkward moment or two. Tonight: Catch up on weekend news. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Detach, and try not to get in-
volved in a situation that might be difficult to handle. With a broader perspective, what might have seemed like a big issue suddenly will be irrele-vant. It would be smart to let others deal with it in the way they want. Tonight: Till the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with others directly, as you are likely to benefit from hav-ing one-on-one conversations. Some of you could be eyeing a major change within a rela-tionship, while others might be about to meet someone new. Tonight: Daydream all you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow greater give-and-take between you and others. Have a conversation with someone whom you rarely speak to but who often facilitates your life. One-on-one relating will be highlighted in the afternoon. Tonight: Continue the theme of togetherness. BORN TODAY Actor Danny DeVito (1944), film director Martin Scorsese (1942), actor Rock Hudson (1925)
Dear Annie: I am the stepmother of a lovely young woman, age 29. “Daria” was 2 when her mother left, and her older broth-er has reported that Mom was neglectful and suffered fits of rage. She actually told the children on many occasions that she couldn’t stand them. She continually took them elsewhere to be cared for. Luckily one of those places was our house. My husband eventually taught the chil-dren to simply accept their mother as she is and to rise above it. But the result seems to be that Daria shows very little emotion. She is attractive and smart and makes friends easily, but all of her relationships dry up after a short while. She is cold and distant. I have never seen her cry, even when her pets died. How can we get her to open up? -- Other Mother Dear Other Mother: Daria may have learned to close off her emotions because her mother’s behavior was so erratic and neglectful. In order to protect herself, she learned not to care, because then, when she was rejected, it wouldn’t hurt as much. She may even be precipitating and caus-ing rejection because she has become ad-ept at dealing with it. Unfortunately, after all these years, the behavior is difficult to change without professional intervention. Please suggest to Daria that she speak to a therapist who can help her connect with others in a more meaningful way. We hope she will. Dear Annie: When did it become accept-able to bring board games with you when you are invited to someone’s home for din-ner? I am a senior citizen. I think fondly of peo-ple when I plan, budget, shop and prepare the nice homemade meal that I invite them to enjoy with me. I have cleaned my house just a little more closely and managed to pretty myself up as well as reasonably can be expected. I want to relax and enjoy good conversation, along with their smiling fac-es. I don’t understand why they expect me to be able to keep up and catch on to the rules of their favorite board games. After all my preparations, I’m just too pooped. I only want to share their company and some in-teresting conversation. -- Tired in the Trop-ics Dear Tropics: You’ll forgive us for finding this problem rather charming. So many readers complain about dinner guests who whip out their cellphones and never look up at all, let alone engage in a group activ-ity. If friends bring over board games, it’s simple enough to say, “Let’s put the games away. I’d much rather have a conversation.” Then follow up with a question they might like to answer. But it’s also quite easy to converse while playing a board game, so you might want to keep a supply of games on hand that you already know and don’t mind playing. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Trying To Be Respectful,” whose mother-in-law in-sists that she take communion. As a recent convert to Catholicism, I have noticed that many cradle Catholics do not possess a clear understanding of their faith. Only those who have been baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church are eligi-ble to take communion at a Catholic mass. The daughter-in-law can either stay seated during communion, or get in the commu-nion line but cross her arms over her chest, which signifies to the priest or communion minister that she is merely seeking a bless-ing, which she will be given without partak-ing in communion. This way she respects her own beliefs and doesn’t offend anyone else. The person with the problem is the moth-er-in-law. As you suggested, she needs to talk to her priest and come to an under-standing of what her Catholic faith actually teaches. -- California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Skarlett in her Halloween costume
makes us smile!
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Cherished Mother. She was our Rock. Mom was born December 8, 1929, in Young, Saskatchewan, to Emil & Clara Eiteneier (nee Shumacher). Her parents were born in Russia and they were a very hardworking farm family. In 1949 she married Jack Fitzpatrick in Langley and they were blessed with 4 healthy children. They lived on a mini-farm until 1964, then moved to Cache Creek where Jack worked for BC Hydro and mom grew the children and kept a beautiful warm home. In 1973 they moved to Kimberley, and in 2009 Mom moved to Kamloops as a widow. Mom adored her family and always encouraged us to work hard and test our wings. And then use them! She worked hard all her life, getting great pleasure from her garden and home. She spoiled us with jams, baked & pickled goods, not to forget her Sunday night dinners; her creativity produced quilts and blankets and many hand sewn treasures. Having frequent access to her extended family brought her great joy after she moved to Kamloops and allowed us to try and spoil her just a little. It was a wonderful thing to see her eyes twinkle, to hear her laugh, to share a memory.
Predeceased by her parents, her husband, brother and 3 sisters, beloved Granddaughter Morgan and Daughter in law Connie, she is lovingly remembered by her children Morley (Debbie), (Marietta & Rick Laing}; Marvyn (Connie, deceased), Marlene (Rob), Laurie (John); her brother Gus (Vi) Eiteneier from Midale SK., her grandchildren Charlene (Pete), Devon (Christina), Gilford (Carly), Tyler, Johnathan, Robyn, Jenna, Alyse, Keenan and Sean. Her 10 great grandchildren will have Gram’s memory kept alive for them.
She will be missed so much by so many. Special thanks to her caregivers at Kamloops Senior’s village, and at Gemstone. Special thanks to sister Debbie for her loving devotion to Mom.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00pm, Saturday December 6, 2014, at Schoening Funeral Service.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Elma’s name can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. Online condolences can be made at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

F o r t h e to w n s m a nCollege of the Rock-
ies’ Bachelor of Science in Nursing students will be holding community blood pressure clinics in Cranbrook on No-vember 20.
The free clinics will be held at both Tim Hortons locations from 10:00am to 12:00pm and from 1:00 to 3:00pm and also at the Cranbrook Curling Club from 1:00 – 3:00pm.
College of the Rock-ies Registered Nursing instructor Barb Fen-wick says, “This is a ter-rific opportunity for the community to access free, accurate blood pressure testing while also supporting our students in their con-tinued learning in the program.”
Monitoring your blood pressure is an important way to watch for unknown health is-sues, especially as you age. According to the Heart and Stroke Foun-dation of Canada, high blood pressure is the number one correct-able risk for stroke and is also a major risk fac-tor for heart disease.

nelson starDeb Kozak has been voted Nelson’s first female
mayor, defeating incumbent John Dooley by a lit-tle under 300 votes.
Kozak had 1,756 votes to Dooley’s 1,475, while retired police officer Pat Severyn came third with 780.
“I’m so looking forward to the next four years working with this council. It’s going to be great,” said Kozak, to thunderous cheers from her sup-porters at the Legion. Her husband Pete and her son Terry stood clapping nearby, and embraced her.
Kozak told the Star the first point of business is to speak with the new council to see what they heard from constituents while campaigning.
“I think the first step that I’m going to take is to sit down with the councillors and my team, be-cause elections are a great time of opening in the community, where we’re really engaged in the community and all of these people have been en-gaging with different people. I want to know what they heard with this election.”

lorne eckersley Creston Valley Advance
Creston Mayor Ron Toyota was returned to a third term in office on Saturday as he easily outdistanced four challengers.
The only incumbent in the town council race, Joanna Wil-son, returns for a fourth term after finishing fifth among 13 who were vying for six seats. Wilson was one of five candi-dates who Toyota said at a can-didates forum that he had
voted for in the advance polls. The other four were also elect-ed.
Chartered accountant Kevin Boehmer topped the polls, grabbing 1,126 votes. He was followed by former Fort Nelson councillor Karen Unruh (1,100), retired insurance agen-cy owner Jim Elford (1,028), Creston Valley Farmers’ Market manager Jen Comer (982) and Wilson (878). Joe Snopek
picked up the sixth seat with 815 votes, and brings experi-ence as both mayor and coun-cillor to the table.
It was a rough night for the Action Creston slate of candi-dates, as Creston voters reject-ed the party concept. Tom Mann, with 18 years of experi-ence as a Regional District of Central Kootenay director, fin-ished third in the mayoralty race, taking 343 votes, while
Creston Mayor Ron Toyota re-elected to third term

former town administrator Bill Hutchinson finished second with 418 votes. Rhonda Barter (148) and Jared LeBlanc (67) finished well behind.
Arnold DeBoon had the strongest showing of Action Creston candidates, finishing in seventh place in the council race with 759 votes. His team-mates, Lon Hansen (493) and Penny A.P. Anderson (328), were ninth and 12th among the 13 candidates.
Ed Vondracek (536), Daniel Geurts (378), Evelyn Bradford (357) and Myrna Johnson (309) were also unsuccessful in their attempts to win a council seat.
“Obviously I am very pleased,” Toyota said following his victory. “This has been a frustrating campaign, with in-correct information being spread by some of the candi-dates. I am happy that voters saw through the nonsense, though. I think we have a very strong group to move forward with.”
