Mainroad responds to

road concerns

Learn trial concludes with final submissions

Mainroad takes public concerns very seriously,

GM says

ARNE PETRYSHENTownsman Staff

Winter road condi-tions last week were challenging for motor-ists, as a thick layer of ice has stuck around on most of the area’s high-ways.

It’s also been a source of frustration for those who feel the con-tractor in charge of highway maintenance is not doing enough to ensure safe roads.

On Friday, Mainroad East Kootenay respond-ed to concerns and complaints from the public about the condi-tions of highways over the past week. 

Al Sander, general manager for Mainroad East Kootenay Con-tracting, said they take the concerns raised by the public seriously.

“We were aware of the impending weather before it came last week,” Sander said. “We were fully prepared. All of our equipment had been deployed.”

Sander said the ser-vice levels haven’t changed and there is the same amount of re-sources as there were in past years.

“It’s been a challeng-ing week for weather conditions in many parts of the province,” Sander said.

He said crews have utilized close to twice the amount of abrasive product compared to normal, and last week-end they used over 500 truckloads of sand and

50-60 truckloads of salt.“When you get a

flash freeze like we had, you just can’t go out with a grader and peel it off; you just can’t go out with a plow truck and burn it off with salt,” he said. “Once you get past -6 (degrees) salt is a useless materi-al; sand won’t stick be-cause it’s too slippery. It’s a really difficult situ-ation.”

The East Kootenay fleet is made up of 43 plow trucks and chemi-cal application trucks and six graders, as well as mechanics to keep those vehicles going. They also have contrac-tors they bring in if they need more graders.

He said weather pat-terns are changing as well.

“I talked to guys that have been here for a long time and worked in the business. They’ve never seen Novembers like the last two —  the rain and the flash freez-es with it. I’m not sure if this is an anomaly or a change in the weather pattern.”

addressed concerns last Friday.

Defence and Crown paint two distinct narratives

TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Crown and defence counsel made their final submissions to the court in the trial of Cheyenne Learn on Friday in Cranbrook Supreme Court.

In front of Justice Dev Dley, Crown counsel Lianna Swanson and defence counsel Brent Bagnall both painted two very distinct narratives for the events

leading up to Dec. 17, 2007, where Tammy Ellis died after being shot by Learn inside a residence.

Learn is on trial for second-degree murder. He was convicted of the same charge in 2009 but it was overturned on appeal in 2013 and he was awarded a new trial.

After seven days of testimony from two eyewitnesses to the incident as well as RCMP members and experts on fo-rensic pathology and firearms, the two

sides wrapped up their cases for the court, starting with the defence.

Bagnall began by stating that the crown must establish beyond a reason-able doubt that there was intent to kill for there to be a conviction for second-de-gree murder.

Bagnall focused on what had been established beyond a reasonable doubt due to evidence given by testimony from each of the witnesses.

Yme WoensdregtShe calls herself the

“harpchick”. Edmon-ton–based Keri Lynn Zwicker brought her Al-berta–built, carbon–fibre, bulletproof (as she told us) harp to the Key City Theatre for a de-lightful evening of Celt-ic, Latin, and Christmas music, backed up by the Symphony of the Koote-nays.

The almost full house was treated to a set of brand new arrange-ments specially written for this concert by Claude Lapalme, con-ductor of the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra. Lapalme’s arrange-ments sparkled and danced, bringing out the inner quality of the tunes and adding to the sparkling artistry of Zwicker.

She is a versatile mu-sician, equally at home in Celtic, cowboy, Latin, and classical music. She captivated the audience with her quick wit and eclectic repertoire, set-ting toes tapping and heads nodding. She has an astonishing tech-nique, her fingers flying over the harp strings in a dazzling display of vir-tuosity. She mixed fa-miliar Christmas carols with less familiar Celtic reels, jigs, and ballads, as well as a number of her own compositions.

In honour of the Celtic nature of this con-cert, conductor Jeff Faragher wore a splen-did red and black kilt. In addition to conducting the orchestra, he joined Zwicker and her hus-band Nathan McCavana (who played the Irish bodhran drum) for a few tunes as well.

Harpchick has a light, clean voice, and seems most comfort-able with the Celtic rep-ertoire, which she clear-ly loves. The harp she plays is a Celtic harp, slightly smaller than the orchestral harp, and she plays with panache and finesse.

In the second half of the concert she includ-ed a terrific piece of Latin music written by Alredo Rolando Ortiz, a virtuoso player of the Paraguayan harp. As Zwicker explained, Ortiz is a harp rockstar (ap-parently that’s possible in Venezuela and Co-lombia).

All in all, it was a wonderful evening of music, some of it famil-iar, much of it less famil-iar. The full house also testifies to the fact that the arts continue to be alive and well in Cran-brook. I was delighted to learn that our city gov-ernment has steadily in-creased its grant to the Symphony, reaching $7,500 for this concert year. I certainly expect that the city will contin-ue to support the arts. As they do so, they enter into a partnership with corporate sponsors and individual donors which contributes to a rich and well–rounded life in Cranbrook.

Birders always antic-ipate the arrival of De-cember. Soon it will be time to take part in an adventure that has be-come a family tradition among generations. Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie and Elkford nat-uralists will join tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Ameri-cas who leave the com-fort of a warm house during the holiday sea-son.

Armed with binocu-lars, bird guides and checklists, families and students, birders and scientists head out on the annual mission to count the birds. For over 100 years, the desire to both make a difference and experience the beauty of nature has motivated ‘citizen sci-entists’ to brave the ele-ments.

The annual Christ-mas Bird Count (CBC), the longest running Cit-izen Science survey in the world, will take place from December 14, 2014, until January 5, 2015.

Everyone who heads out, no matter what the weather holds, makes an enormous contribu-tion to conservation. Audubon and other or-ganizations use data collected in this lon-gest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird popula-

tions, and to help guide conservation action.

From feeder-watch-ers and field observers to count compilers and regional editors, every-one who takes part in the Christmas Bird Count does it not only for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition, but also with the knowledge that their efforts make a dif-ference for science and bird conservation.

Please consider join-ing these local counts, all are welcome. In Cranbrook and Kimber-ley, the Rocky Mountain Naturalists will organize counts before and after Christmas. In the morn-ing, at 8:45 a.m., we will meet, form into groups, look at the map and at 9 a.m, begin to examine our particular designat-ed zone. At around 5:30 p.m. we head over to the organizer’s home for a pot luck and count up.

Feeder watchers and field counters are en-couraged to seek more information. In the East Kootenays, contact:

• Fernie: Sunday, Dec. 14. Kevin Knight, 250-430-7960, Fernie Nature Club

• Elkford: Thursday, Dec. 18. Ulrike Sli-worsky, 250-865-7744.

The RDEK warns that warming weather can lead to over-land flooding.

With the dramatic change in weather conditions over the past ten days and expected warming trends in the days to come, several local creeks and rivers are being impacted by Frazil ice, commonly referred to by people as ice jams. As this ice or slush forms, it can cause water to move over and around it, sometimes outside of the creek channel or river bed. It can be unpredictable and it’s important to re-member to stay well away from waterways and creek banks at this time of year.

“As this natural freeze/thaw cycle affects the de-velopment and break-up of ice, it can lead to over-land flooding,” said Loree Duczek of the RDEK. “While we do have a few properties around the RDEK experiencing some flooding, at this time we do not have any homes being directly impacted. Our Emergency Program officials are monitoring a few creeks where ice jams have been reported.”

If you feel your home or personal safety could be threatened by flooding, contact the Provincial Emergency Coordination Centre at 1-800-663-3456.

This is a 24 hour line and they alert the appropri-ate local emergency program officials. The Emer-gency Programs activate if there are homes or peo-ple threatened. This is the fastest way to get a coor-dinated response. Please write the number down and keep it handy (it’s the same number to report any wide scale emergency or disaster).

“Our goal with this message is to remind every-one about the importance of being safe in these unpredictable conditions and to provide you with the appropriate contact information should you need it (our hope is that you will never need to use this number).”

Keep an eye for

ice jams

From page 1There is no doubt

that Learn discharged the firearm and Ellis died, that there was a confrontation between the two outside of a house and that he ar-rived at the house with the sawed-off shotgun used in the incident, said Bagnall. In exercis-ing extremely poor judgement, there is no doubt he left his trailer to head to the residence of the shooting on his bicycle with his firearm, he continued.

Bagnall questioned Learn’s intent to mur-der, noting he never tried entering the house upon arrival and was fo-cused on carrying out a plan to disable his ex-girlfriend’s vehicle to stop her from trafficking cocaine before her eventual arrival.

Bagnall added that there was a key moment directly before the

shooting where Ellis was arguing with Learn out-side the house as he was trying to leave. In Learn’s earlier testimo-ny, he said Ellis had hu-miliated him by expos-ing his intimacy issues with his ex-girlfriend. That specific event served as a provocation, which can be used as a

defence that leads to a charge of manslaughter, Bagnall argued.

Bagnall also argued that there is no way to establish intent beyond a reasonable doubt based on Learn’s state of mind due to his extreme level of intoxication the night of the incident.

Crown counsel re-sponded with a differ-ent version of events leading up to the shoot-ing. Swanson argued that there was intent based on Learn telling Ellis that “you turned my girlfriend into a crackhead you [exple-tives]” before pulling the trigger, based on testimony from two eyewitnesses.

She argued that Learn’s level of intoxi-cation couldn’t be es-tablished in the brief interactions that he had with his ex-girlfriend the night of the inci-dent. Swanson also said

Learn was desperate man because his ex-girlfriend had bro-ken up with him two days before and wasn’t coming back.

Swanson argued that Ellis drove a wedge between Learn and his ex-girlfriend and that Ellis’ fate was sealed after an argument be-tween the two directly before the shooting.

There is no air of re-ality that Learn was so drunk he didn’t know what he was doing, Swanson said, noting that assembling the gun from four pieces and riding a bike down a dark street in winter conditions from his trailer to the house re-quires co-ordination that isn’t possible if highly intoxicated.

She argued that his actions, such as tossing the gun over a bridge covering Joseph Creek and ending up in a re-

cycle bin behind Dairy Queen, proves that he was trying to hide evi-dence and himself fol-lowing the shooting.

Bagnall had a brief rebuttal to crown’s sub-mission, noting Learn’s actions and behaviour before the event make no sense unless there was provocation. Bag-nall admitted that am-nesia is no defence, but argued that Learn testi-fied that he remem-bered certain parts of the shooting incident and hadn’t tried to de-ceive the court by con-veniently claiming he couldn’t remember the whole evening.

Because of an ab-sence of evidence into his state of mind, there is an inability to state what his intention really was, Bagnall said.

Justice Dev Dley has reserved his decision for Wednesday next week.

exPect BIg Vote IN cIVIc eLectIoN

A “Get Out and Vote” campaign is being waged by Kim-berley Jaycees as all that is needed for Thursday’s civic elec-

The Way it Was - Dec. 8, 1955tion day is a good turn out at the polls.

While there is no mayoralty contest, Mayor Cliff Swan having been returned by accli-mation, there are eight candidates offering themselves for three va-cant aldermanic seats and three candidates for two seats on the district school board.

Among the candi-dates are the three al-dermen whose two-year terms expire the end of this month. They are Mrs. Violet Burrin, Mark Beduz and Jim Davis. Challenging them are Leighton Warren, well-known carpenter, Doug Gold, former financial secretary of Local 651, Lawrence B. Loraas, member of a prominent Kimberley family, Ken Wocknitz, closely asso-ciated with union mat-ters in Kimberley, and J.E. Johnson, who served a few months in 1953 following the death of former Alderman Ar-thur Bryant.

A close race among the eight candidates is anticipated and the Jay-cees are urging all to vote. The poll is located at the city hall and vot-ing hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Kimberley

time.There is also a con-

test for the two vacant seats on the district school board. Retiring trustees harry Broad-hurst and R.W. `Put`Holditch, veterans of the board, are both in the contest with Mrs. Joyce Wilkinson, a new-comer to Kimberley`s civic politics, advancing claims of a housewife to a seat on the board.

MoRe thaN a PRIVILege; a DutY

Tomorrow is election day in Kimberley with a fair number of ratepay-ers offering themselves for public office. Just who will fill the three vacancies on city coun-cil will be determined by the electorate and it is up to them to recog-nize that the franchise – great privilege though it is – is more than a privi-lege, it is a duty.

Each of the candi-dates will have his or her following and all have one thing in common – a desire to serve their city in a job that is de-manding and time-con-suming but which has its own reward. A full turn-out at the polls is their right.

There is no mayoral-

ty contest. Mayor Cliff Swan has again been re-turned unopposed, his seventh term since Kim-berley`s incorporation as a city in 1944. His Worship may justifiably feel gratification at this expression of confi-dence in his ability as mayor and his strength as an opponent.

There is one other matter to come before voters and that is the city`s plebiscite on dog control. There`s not much to be said about this. There can surely be no more picayune issue ever put before a body of voters but council wanted it that way and that`s the way it is. The plebiscite is worded in such a way as to give council guidance as to voter`s wishes in the matter of dog control. Whether Kimberley NEEDS dog control does not enter into the picture at this point. Were it not anarchistic so to suggest we would venture the opinion that 1,800 unmarked plebi-scite ballots tomorrow would leave the ques-tion right where it prop-erly belongs – as a mat-ter for city council to decide.

From Page 1He said most of the operators

have a lot of experience and these type of weather patterns are a real challenge.

Sander said the process of let-ting the drivers know what they need to do is done on a shop-by-shop basis.

“There are road managers that review the process,” he said. “We’re also under a strict audit process under the Ministry. There are levels of what we’re supposed to do and how often we have to patrol and how much snow there has to be before we start plowing. Those things are all within the contract.”

He said one of the main dif-ferences between the roads here and in Alberta is the contracts.

“There’s an inherent differ-ence on expectations and speci-fications on contracts in the two provinces,” he said.

Sander said the contracts here were decided eight years ago.

“They are in the process of working on the next contract and what that looks like when that comes up, we’ll see,” he said. “The highway maintenance con-tracts are always a tight bid. They always have been, they always will be. Doesn’t matter if you’re in B.C. or Alberta. It’s a very competitive bidding process.”

The roads in B.C. are classi-fied into Class A, B, C and down.

Class A has a four hour rota-tion for patrols, Class B an eight hour rotation and Class C an 18 hour rotation. Class A has an al-lowance of up to four centime-tres of snow accumulation be-fore it needs to be plowed, while Class C has an allowance of up to 10 cm.

If the temperatures are colder than -6 degrees the crews con-tinue to sand — and scrape if possible — to make the roads as safe as they can, he said.

He said over the past week the Ministry has been doing au-dits on Mainroad’s work in this region. The Ministry has two in-spectors that patrol the roads in the East Kootenay.

“We were in spec,” Sander said. “We were within standard with what the contract negotia-tions are. I know that doesn’t satisfy everybody, but that’s what we do by in the context of the contract and what their expecta-tions are.”

Sander said if the public wants the standard to change, it

The index. That handy back-of-the-book tool which lists terms or phrases alphabetically, matching their locations with page numbers; an aid to help the reader quickly find desired con-tent. Indexes vary in quality, with good ones containing numerous points of entry, sub-headings and cross-ref-erences.

Why don’t novels have indexes? How great would it be to be able to find a favourite passage or quote without having to reread the entire book?

Dr. Johnson was one of the first to pose to this question, after having read the 1784 novel ‘Cla-rissa’ by Samuel Rich-ardson. “I wish you would add an index rerum (subject index),” Johnson wrote to Rich-ardson, “that when the reader recollects any in-cident, he may easily find it, which at present he cannot do.”

Johnson’s frustration is understandable. ‘Clar-issa’ was (and still is) the longest novel in the En-glish language, original-ly published in eight vol-umes. Richardson ap-peared to have taken Johnson’s suggestion to

heart; all following edi-tions of ‘Clarissa’ con-tained an index.

Sort of. Although a work of

fiction, Richardson’s book is peppered with moralizing quotes and passages. His index only pointed the way to to these tiresome life les-sons, listed under an equally tiresome title: ‘A Collection of Such of the Moral and Instructive Sentiments, Contained in the Preceding History, as are Presumed to be of General Use and Ser-vice. Digested under Proper Heads. With Ref-erences to the Volume, and Page, Where Each Sentiment, Caution, Aphorism, Reflection, or Observation is to be Found.”

Johnson must of felt

The ongoing novelistic index experiment

like he was being pun-ished somehow for ask-ing for a subject index. He wrote Richardson again: “I thank you once more, dear Sir, for your books; but cannot I pre-vail this time for an index? Such I wished, and shall wish to ‘Claris-sa.’”

It is unknown wheth-er or not Richardson misunderstood John-son’s requests, or simply disregarded them. Ei-ther way, he replied not with a subject index to ‘Clarissa,’ but with an-other “Collection of Moral and Instructive Sentiments, Maxims, Cautions and Reflec-tions” for his two other novels — ‘Pamela’ and ‘Sir Charles Grandison.’

Dr. Johnson quit writ-ing Richardson letters. This was kinder than the majority of reactions to Richardson’s indexes. People wanted to read a novel for the story, not for insipid platitudes. Even Richardson’s friends refused to read any editions containing his indexes. Isaac D’Is-raeli found them to be “a violent literary vanity,’ and Jane Austen derides them in her own novel ‘Northanger Abbey.’

A full century later,

Lewis Carroll intro-duced an index to his novel ‘Sylvia and Bruno.’ Perhaps using Richard-son as a model, the index is not a subject one, but one of instruc-tive phrases. Unlike Richardson, these in-structive phrases are pure nonsense, with en-tries such as “Govern-ment with many kings, and one subject,” and “Honeymoons, experi-mental.” This is not a traditional index at all, but simply another hu-morous part of the story. (Don’t worry if you have never heard of ‘Sylvia and Bruno.’ It had a lim-ited print run and even those didn’t sell).

Closer to our own time, Virginia Wolfe’s ‘Orlando’ and Nabokov’s ‘Pale Fire’ both have in-dexes, but even these are still not close to a tradi-tional index. Wolfe’s index is a chronological list of proper names; when read, one is given a summary of the plot. The index of ‘Pale Fire’ is one written by the nov-el’s main character, and thus part of the story it-self. There is more sub-tle character develop-ment in the index than found in the entire novel.

‘War and Peace’ claims to have an index, but what it really has is a glossary of historical names, with no corre-sponding page num-bers.

‘The Lord of the Rings’ was originally published not with an index, but with an apol-ogy for not having one. The apology was sin-cere, as both the author and publisher felt a novel with 934 charac-ters should probably have an index. It was originally omitted not by choice, but by wartime paper shortages.

Today, some novels are published with tradi-tional subject indexes (the novels of A.S.Byatt), but these are few and far between. While thou-sands of modern novels appear with reader’s guides and discussion questions, the index continues to belong to non-fiction book. In fact, one non-fiction index was created solely for character assassina-tion, but that is for next week.

SubmittedThroughout the Columbia Basin, many

educators, volunteers, community groups and organizations dedicate themselves to enhancing environmental well-being through education. As a supporter of these efforts, Columbia Basin Trust has earned an award from the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communi-cation. It received the 2014 Award of Excel-lence in Environmental Education and Communication.

The award was presented to the Trust by the nominating organization Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network (CBEEN) at the Environmental Education Soiree & Expo held in Creston on Novem-ber 28. 

“We were both surprised and humbled by this recognition,” said Neil Muth, Co-lumbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “This achievement would not be possible without the incredibly committed and pas-sionate educators, volunteers, community groups and organizations in the region, like CBEEN, that help us deliver on our mandate to enhance environmental well-being in the Basin. We accept this award on behalf of all of our environmen-tal partners.”

“CBEEN nominated the Trust for this national award to recognize its long-term commitment to environmental educa-tion,” said Duncan Whittick, Executive Di-rector, CBEEN. “Since its inception, the Trust has provided critical capacity for key environmental education and stewardship projects. As a result, we wanted to recog-nize the Trust for its important role in al-

lowing a small area of Canada to become a national model for success. We also want-ed to recognize the Trust’s strong vision for environmental education which is show-cased in their new Environmental Strategic Plan. This will allow for the continued de-velopment of high-quality learning oppor-tunities for residents of the Basin.” 

Over the past 20 years, the Trust has invested over $5 million in 185 environ-mental education projects across the re-gion, including the following four major education programs:

• Wild Voices for Kids, delivered by

CBEEN• Education in the Wild, delivered by

Wildsight• Know Your Watershed, delivered by

Wildsight• Wildsafe BC, delivered by BC Conser-

vation FoundationCBEEN acts as a regional umbrella net-

work for environmental education which encourages environmental stewardship and sustainability in the Canadian Colum-bia Basin by supporting environmental educators.

“Much learning does not teach understanding.”

Heraclitus

“The reasons why I talk to myself are because I’m the only one that listens and gives me answers I’ll accept.”

George Carlin.

Here we go once more. I am not exactly leaping up and down again like a frustrat-ed Wiley Coyote, but it is close. You see, to my utter amazement, I noted today that in my beautifully illustrated wall calendar it announces that, on Decem-ber 21st this very year, there will be a new moon and, what is more, winter will begin.

Where was this thing printed? Florida? Haven’t we here had frosts since Oc-tober? What was it that zapped my tomatoes? Didn’t the tempera-ture hereabouts plunge down below minus 20 degrees Celsius in mid-November? Then, didn’t it snow? Why are numerous deer in my yard standing hock deep in snow?

And then, early this month, didn’t we suffer those cold, plug-in-your-car or else nights? Even though they’ve got their snow-tires mounted what do folk want before they’ll admit to the fact of winter when it actually arrives? This bothers me year after year.

Fish, animals, birds and oodles of retir-ees know the facts; they migrate. Some

scientists state that it is the shortening length of daylight hours that is the signal to head to warmer climes but, whatever it is, they’re off, probably the scientists too; you’ve got to prove as theory before it be-comes a fact.

Thousands of years ago, our ancestors must have migrated when the length of the days suggested it might be a good idea but, when some smarti-pants invented farm-ing, they were caught. They were forced to stay put and suffer. It was then that they started calculating by noting the shorten-ing and the lengthening of daylight hours

and planning accordingly. They also attempted to appease the sun and so had parties and lit huge fires and made booze from their cereals around the days with the shortest length of daylight. When they were suitably drunk,

this seemed to work.Around December 21st each year we in

the north call it the Winter Solstice. It is the middle of the winter, not the first day. We’re halfway through. Cheer up. Put out lots of lights. Like your ancestors, get ham-mered.

Those folk that relied on farms food did well but, later, the monotonous diet and the grit in their cereals caused dental prob-lems; dentists were invented and became ridiculously rich.

In Europe the time of the summer sol-stice, six months later, could seem like purgatory. The weather was pleasant but

people couldn’t go to the beach. The food stored over the winter ran out and starva-tion was rampant. In at least one place the inhabitants of a village linked hands and jumped off a cliff into the sea. This was overdoing the sea-side holiday a bit.

However, when the autumn equinox arrived and crops ripened, folk invented Harvest Festivals and Thanksgiving, and probably lit big fires and celebrated by get-ting soused.

Scientists (bless their cotton socks) are now saying that the winter solstice around December 21st (remember that date?) was the time that the Druids conducted the ceremonies at Stonehenge, and those cer-emonies were about the DEAD. That was the dead of winter, not the first day. They probably lit whacking great fires too and got legless on mead.

The Christmas that we think we know got invented and moved around to suit the Christian priests, who attempted to guess when their Christ was born. It was also around the times of the ‘pagan’ Saturnalia and so this new festival kept the pagans happy. Incidentally, Christmas carols weren’t invented until Charlie Dickens happened along but, with the Winter Sol-stice over and done with, the days were drawing out. It was a good sign and a chance to get snookered.

Anyway, with all that Google of infor-mation off my chest: A Very Happy Solstice to you and, if you can work out when it occurs, A Fine and Prosperous New Year. Get soused; you deserve it.

Winter, and how to tell it’s here

Déjà vu Descheneau

Ice sniper nets second teddy bear tally in familiar fashion

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Jaedon Descheneau wasn’t content with a stellar November.

With one goal and three assists this week-end, the Kootenay Ice forward had a hot start to December after being awarded Kootenay Ice Player of the Month honours for November prior to Friday’s contest with the Spokane Chiefs.

Friday night marked the 2014 A&W Teddy Bear Toss, and Desche-neau used a bit of experi-ence and perhaps some deja vu to ensure the Ice weren’t shutout at the annual holiday event.

During the 2013 A&W Teddy Bear Toss, the Red Deer Rebels rolled into Cranbrook Dec. 13 and blanked the Ice by a final margin of 4-0.

It took Descheneau a matter of 41 seconds to trigger the torrential teddy bear storm in a

2-1 victory over the Spo-kane Chiefs. According to Chris Wahl, Kootenay Ice director of sales and public relations, the team collected approxi-mately 3,000 teddy bears, which will be dis-tributed Thursday, Dec. 11, at East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital.

“It was actually very similar, it was kind of a miscue in the neutral zone by the other team and it ended up two-on-one with Luke [Philp],” Descheneau said Fri-day, recounting the stark similarity between his 2014 teddy bear toss goal and the teddy-bear tally he registered Dec. 7, 2012, against the Prince Albert Raiders. “He passed it over to me and I was able to score [in 2012]. Then tonight, same thing -- break-down in the neutral zone, we go in two-on-one again. I gave it to him and he gave it back

and we scored. “It’s pretty cool it was

with the same guy and pretty much the same way we scored.”

The 19-year-old St. Louis Blues prospect has been on fire for the Kootenay Ice in recent weeks. In addition to being tabbed as player of the month, Desche-neau as also named hardest-working for-ward for November.

The accolades were well deserved as the Ed-monton native rattled off eight goals and 12 assists through 12 games, help-ing push the Ice to a WHL-best record of 10-2-0-0 in November.

By the time the week-end was over, Desche-neau extended his point-scoring streak to 13 games, including eight goals and 13 as-sists over that stretch. The Kootenay Ice alter-nate captain set up Levi Cable for the game-win-

ning goal Saturday as the Ice edged the Chiefs 3-2 in the home-and-home rematch south of the border.

Descheneau’s streak wasn’t the only one to push on this weekend.

Captain Sam Rein-hart registered the pow-er-play game-winner Friday before adding a goal and an assist in the Saturday rematch in Spokane. The 19-year-old native of North Van-couver tallied one assist Sunday in a 5-4 defeat to the Tri-City Americans, pushing his point streak to 14 games (8-19-27).

Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin started all three contests over the week-end, extending his start streak to 19 consecutive games. The 19-year-old

native of Sherwood Park, Alta., earned both wins over the Chiefs, before being strung with the loss Sunday in Tri-City.

Holfin was pulled from Sunday’s game after two periods, hav-ing surrendered five goals on 26 shots as the Americans took a com-manding 5-2 lead into the third period.

Tim Bozon scored his second of the evening and 12th of the cam-paign with a short-hand-ed effort 10 seconds into the final period, sparking a late comeback effort by the Ice. Though Luke Philp added a pow-er-play goal five minutes later, the Ice fell short in Kennewick.

“We’re still trying to get back into the playoff

picture,” Descheneau said Friday. “We’ve been playing well but we still have a lot of improve-ments to make. Tonight, we weren’t at our best, but we weren’t bad…Es-pecially when we’re on the road, we have to play a lot harder.”

The Ice are 9-5-0-0 on home ice and 6-11-0-0 away from Western Fi-nancial Place.

Kootenay (15-16-0-0) sits fifth in the WHL’s Central Division, trail-ing the fourth-place Ed-monton Oil Kings by three points. Next up, the Ice host the Central Division-leading Medi-

cine Hat Tigers (21-6-1-1) Tuesday night at Western Financial Place.

L.a. galaxy win fifth MLS titleGreG BeachamAssociated Press

CARSON, Calif. - Landon Donovan is re-tiring as a champion, thanks to one brilliant goal by Robbie Keane.

Keane scored on a breakaway in the 111th minute, and Donovan won his record sixth MLS title Sunday in the LA Galaxy’s 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in the MLS Cup.

Gyasi Zardes scored in the 52nd minute as the Galaxy won their re-cord fifth league title in the final game for Dono-van, the MLS career scoring leader and most accomplished soccer player in U.S. history.

Donovan, Keane and the Galaxy have won

three of the last four league championships, celebrating all three on their home field.

Donovan won the sixth trophy of his 14-year MLS career, adding his fourth title with the Galaxy to a pair from early in his career with San Jose. Coach Bruce Arena won his record fifth MLS Cup, including the last three with the Galaxy, who haven’t lost at home since their sea-son opener.

After Chris Tierney scored the tying goal in the 79th minute for New England, both teams had golden opportuni-ties in extra time before Keane capped his MVP season with the dynam-ic winner in the second period of extra time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Information that heads your way will be clear and precise. Your mind might take the facts down a new path to create dif-ferent scenarios. At times, you could feel confused by every-thing that is happening around you. Allow space for changes. Tonight: Happily relax at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A partnership could carry you past a problem. New informa-tion seems to muddy up the waters. Seek out more facts, but don’t discount some of the vague details you’ve already heard. Detach, and you’ll gain an unexpected insight. Tonight: Catch up on emails. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be very forthright, but attaining clarity with a money matter might be tough. An unexpected revelation might help to open up the topic. Pace yourself, and approach a key person in a levelheaded way. The unexpected will play a role in decision-making. Tonight:

Stay calm. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could feel awkward when dealing with someone at a dis-tance. This person will be more significant than you might real-ize. You’ll want to rethink a diffi-cult problem involving someone who reflects and responds very differently from you. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Put the finishing touches on a project. A conversation with a loved one could be more sig-nificant than you realize. This person serves as a muse for you more often than not. Detaching from the here and now only adds to your creative energy. Tonight: Live in the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to rethink a de-cision more carefully. Your ability to understand others’ motives and what is going on with them seems to mark your decisions. You could be feeling a bit awk-ward with everything that is happening around you. Tonight: In the middle of the action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be blunt, but that is not your usual style. Know what you want, and you will know the path on which to proceed. Oth-ers seem very excitable. Listen carefully, but don’t commit to anything that makes you un-comfortable. Tonight: Where the action is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take a moment to see the whole situation rather than react to what someone else is saying. You know and understand much more than what you are sharing. Stay centered, and focus on what is possible. A conversation could prove to be important. Tonight: Play out a fantasy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could have more clout than you realize. Start a conversation with a loved one, and you will see that this is true. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a key person in your life, and trust in your natural appeal. Tonight: A quiet dinner with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You would be wise not to push others or display your domi-

nant side. Many people around you seem to be showing their muscles. The best approach is to avoid conflict. You could feel un-comfortable in an animated dis-cussion. Expect the unexpected. Tonight: Go along for the ride. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your focus continues to be work and on the end results. A new in-terest or hobby could be taking up more time than you realize. A friend or partner might not be thrilled about seeing you less. Consider ways to free up your schedule more. Tonight: Where your friends are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your sense of direction is strong. You know how to prioritize and get a lot done. Be prepared for a spontaneous interruption from a friend. Use caution with your money. Risks need to be weighed carefully before you launch into action. Tonight: A must appearance. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Jim Morrison (1943), football player Philip Rivers (1981), actress Teri Hatch-er (1964)

Dear Annie: My 88-year-old uncle is men-tally ill. He is paranoid and suffers from ex-treme anxiety. He has refused mental help for years. His three grown children also have indications of mental illness. It is difficult to be around “Uncle Joe” be-cause he rants about nonsense and claims that everyone is doing something evil to him. He writes books that make no sense, but expects everyone to read them. Now that the holidays are approaching, my aunt (his sister) thinks Uncle Joe should be invited to all the family celebrations. But, Annie, he ruins it for everybody. If you don’t listen and agree with him, he be-comes quite threatening. I think it is rather bossy and controlling of my aunt to expect my uncle to be included in every family event. What can I do? -- Love My Uncle, But Dear Friend: Please don’t ostracize Uncle Joe from family gatherings because he is difficult. Try to understand that he is sick and cannot help the way he behaves. Yes, he should be getting professional help and should probably be on medication, but like many mentally ill people, he doesn’t be-lieve he needs either and cannot recognize the toll his behavior takes on the rest of you. His sister loves him and wants to include him at these family events. Unless he is physically threatening, we are asking you to be tolerant of Uncle Joe and kind to your aunt. These family gatherings don’t happen that often. It doesn’t diminish you to nod politely in agreement with whatever Uncle Joe says and then turn your attention else-where. Please try. Dear Annie: “James” and I were madly in love when I was 17 and he was 31. After eight years, we agreed to go our separate ways. He later married and has four chil-dren. About 10 years ago, James sent me a letter and enclosed his wife’s obituary. She had passed away the previous year. We began corresponding, talking about the good old days. He told his children we were in touch. After several months, James proposed and said he would hop on the next flight to be with me. I told him I was married (no chil-dren) and my husband had been diagnosed with leukemia. After that I stopped writing him. James is now in his mid-80s, and I am 70. My husband passed away a year ago. Deep down, I still have feelings for James. He was my first love. Should I contact him? Send him my husband’s obituary? How do I know whether his children will accept me in his life? -- Still in Love Dear Still: There’s no reason not to con-tact James, but be prepared: He may have remarried or passed away since your last correspondence. Write him a letter or phone him and let him know you’d like to reestablish contact if he is still interested. Don’t worry about his children’s reaction. You can deal with that later. Dear Annie: It is very sad to read story after story of daughters-in-law who shun their husbands’ mothers. I realize there are many mother/daughter-in-law relation-ships that are wonderful, but too often we only hear about the bad ones. I would give anything to have a mother-in-law with whom to shop, go to the mov-ies, cook and bake together and have family gatherings. Someone I could ask for advice and, lastly, one I could love and cherish. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law lives six hours away and has very significant de-mentia. Thank God my husband’s sister is caring for her. But I would take her in a sec-ond. She is an amazing lady. I wish some of these insecure daughters-in-law would realize what they are missing out on. After all, this is the woman who raised the man they fell in love with. So, obviously, Mom did something right. -- Teresa Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canadianscontinue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data. “Increased media compe-tition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefi ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”
