Kimberley’s Downtown Business Association got to-gether for a meeting earlier in December, and it appears there is movement towards a revival of the Business Im-provement Area (BIA).
Coun. Don McCormick, who is the City’s representa-tive on the Chamber of Commerce Board, says a lot has happened since the group met last April, and that there is real reason for optimism in the business community.
“We’ve got a vibrant retail industry downtown,” Mc-Cormick said. “We’re com-ing off a good summer and with the early snow, most are feeling good about the winter.”
Despite the loss of KIO-TAC, which was a concern going into the summer of 2013, McCormick says most businesses had a better year.
“That’s pretty spectacu-lar when you think about it.”
There has been a lot hap-pening in the downtown business community.
“Over the summer, since April there have been five businesses sold, nine new businesses opened, one closed, one under construc-
tion and four moved. At the end of the day, that’s 20 transactions, with 19 of them positive. When you consider there are only 70 businesses in the downtown area, that’s huge. I think it’s fantastic.”
He says that since last April when downtown busi-nesses first met, a group of about a dozen business owners stepped forward to start taking stock of the busi-ness environment down-town and brainstorm ideas for improvement.
“A lot of hours were put in to come up with a raw list to improve the business expe-rience downtown,” McCor-mick said, adding that downtown is not just the Platzl, where there are about 40 businesses, but the entire downtown which includes some 70 businesses.
Before he begins his work delivering presents to all Kimberley boys and girls, on Christmas Eve, Santa will be riding along with his friends at the Kimberley Fire Department.
The fire truck will begin rolling along Kimberley streets beginning at 4:30 p.m. in Marysville. At 5:30
the truck rolls into Forest Crowne for half an hour, then it’s on to Lower Blarch-mont from 6 to 7 p.m From 7 to 8 p.m. Santa and the fire-fighters will be in Chapman Camp.
They go through down-town from 8 to 8:30 p.m. and Townsite from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. The route ends at the
ski hill from 9:30 to 10:15 p.m., then Santa heads off for his other Christmas Eve deliveries.
One fire truck will be sent ahead with sirens to let you know the decorated truck with Santa is coming. Run outside and give him a wave and listen to Christmas car-ols as the truck passes by. See BUSINESS, Page 3

StaffA Canada-wide war-
rant has been issued for Neil Elliott Collins who went unlawfully at large late last week.
On December 19, 2013, Neil Elliott Col-lins, 36, was scheduled to appear in the Kelow-na Law Courts for sen-tencing on multiple charges of trafficking, possession of controlled substance, possession of a firearm and posses-sion of property ob-tained by crime. Collins had been released earli-er this month so he could get his affairs in order and was placed on electronic monitor-ing. He failed to attend Court, could not be contacted at his resi-dence and may have

tampered with his mon-itoring device. A Cana-da-wide warrant was is-sued for his arrest.
In an initial effort to get Collins into custody, officers from Kelowna and West Kelowna as well as other detach-ments throughout the Southeast District set up road blocks and searched for him at multiple locations. During the course of their investigation, po-lice arrested an 18-year-old West Kelowna woman and a 62-year-old West Kelowna man for Obstruction.
Collins is prohibited from possessing weap-ons but is known to
have access to firearms through associates and may be armed.
Police continue to actively search for Col-lins who is believed to be attempting to flee the country.
Anyone with any in-formation regarding the whereabouts of Neil El-liott Collins is asked to call your local police. If seen, do not approach him, rather call 911 im-mediately. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, leaving a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

The United Steel-workers union an-nounced Friday that it has ratified a five-year deal with Interior For-ests Labour Relations Association member companies in the B.C. Southern Interior.
Members of USW Locals 1-405 Cranbrook, 1-417 Kamloops and 1-423 Kelowna voted in favour of the agreement by a majority of 66 per cent.
According to the union, the five-year agreement provides sig-nificant pay enhance-ments for Tradesman, who will see a 23 per cent wage increase over the agreement’s term.
“It’s based on the same pattern that we negotiated with Canfor,” said Doug Singer, USW Local 1-405 president.
The deal also dou-bles living out allowanc-es for members in ap-prenticeships to $40 a day or $280 a week, dou-bles mileage to 50 cents a kilometre to attend school and those at-tending school outside of their community for more than six weeks will qualify for a second round trip.
“It was a balancing act this round of negoti-ations,” Singer said. “We had to balance trying to negotiate some good in-creases in wages for all
of our members plus get some trades adjust-ments so we can main-tain and retain trades, and at the same time address some major is-sues with the pension plan. So I think we struck a very good bal-ance.”
The deal also in-cludes wage increases of 13 per cent and $3,400 cash payments over the term of the agreement and improves health and welfare benefits — which include lifetime limits for EHB that in-crease from $60,000 to $300,000 over the term agreement. Plan C or-thodontic coverage in-creases to a maximum $4,000 with white fill-ings now covered. Vi-sion care now includes laser eye surgery and eye exams limits in-crease to $400 in a 24 month period.
“We think we’ve struck a really good col-lective agreement for our members,”Singer said.
The agreement also includes better lan-guage to ensure em-ployee rights are not compromised relative to the use of Chargehands, a 50 cent per hour ticket premium for log scalers, a carpenter’s rate that rises to meet the level of other tradesman and a two level increase for forestry and engineer-ing technicians,

Selkirk Storm Senior Girls Basketball team won their first tournament of the season in Invermere. The girls didn’t lose a game all weekend and hope this will carry on through their season. Above in photo are Coach Gord, Brianna, Freddie, Bryn, Tara and Coach Leign Anne, Front row, Lena, Rylee, Alex, Marlo, missing Baylie.
From Page 1“They came up with
a list of well over 100 things which was con-solidated into 80. The next step is to sit down with the City’s Econom-ic Development and the CAO and walk through the list and pri-oritize. What can the City do, and what can the Chamber do?”
McCormick says the ideas are both big and small, such as a better plan for Platzl snow re-moval to the possibility of outdoor heaters to promote people spend-ing more time outdoors in the Platzl to sprucing up the access tunnel from the Platzl parking lot with artwork and promotional materials.
“Last spring we were coming off a pretty me-diocre summer and winter but this year, with a better business climate, and the suc-
cess of things like First Saturdays, the feeling is different. There’s noth-ing wrong with the Plat-zl, we just need events to bring people in.”
The bottom line is that events and promo-tion cost money and this is where the idea of a BIA comes in.
“I brought up the BIA at the meeting,” McCormick. “It’s been more than 10 years since it was in place and it provided about $30,000 in marketing money. If we had $30,000 to spend we could do a lot.”
McCormick says the reception to the BIA idea was not as negative as he might have thought.
“I was expecting a little push back but people were receptive. I’m not saying all 70 businesses will jump in, but the reception was
one of wanting to lis-ten.”
What has come out of the meeting is that five business owners from downtown have committed to be part of the leadership commit-tee of the Downtown Business Association.
“They will talk to downtown businesses about the BIA,” McCor-mick said. “I think the mood is right now to revisit it and I’d like to see it happen as soon as possible. Downtown businesses can expect to someone to be talking to them in the new year.
“The mood in the re-tail area is very positive right now. The key is to get funds in place to bring more people in. There’s lots of work to do, but these are excit-ing times.”

RCMPOn December 18, shortly after 9
p.m., the RCMP communications cen-ter received an abandoned 911 call from a residence on 1st Avenue South in Cranbrook.
Nothing was heard on call back so officers were dispatched to the house to check. Once on scene they learned there had been a home invasion by two males and female wearing masking and involving firearms.
Three people were in the residence when they heard a knock at the door. One answered it and two males barged in, both carrying firearms. The occu-pant got into brief physical confronta-tion with one male in an attempt to di-rect the gun muzzle away.
A 911 call was made by another oc-cupant who heard the altercation, prior to being directed by the males into an-
other room.Theinvaders quickly realized the
person they were looking for was not there. They demanded cash and any-thing else of value from the occupants. The subject fled with several electronic devices and a snowboard.
The suspects are described as fol-lows;
• Male — 5 feet, 11 inches, very slim, wearing all black including gloves and balaclava;
• Male — 5 feet, 7 inches, very slim, pale complexion, wearing a half mask bandana and all black clothing;
• Female — short, dark complexion, half mask bandana and all black cloth-ing.
The investigation is ongoing, if any-body had information about this crime, please contact the Crabnrook RCMP at 250 489-3471 or Crimestoppers.

DAVID HUMPHREYIt happened on the week of Dec. 15 – 21
in Cranbrook’s early days. Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1898Fine Sleighing … Sleighing is now fine
in this neighbourhood, and many are en-joying the pleasure of rapid rides.
The Presbyterian Church … Formal Dedication Took Place Last Sunday Morn-ing. The Presbyterian church, the sills of which were laid only six weeks ago, was opened last Sunday by Rev, Robert Frew, of Nelson, who preached both morning and evening and addressed the first Sabbath school meeting held in Cranbrook in the afternoon. It is gratifying to all who are in-terested in the work of the church to have a suitable building in which the various de-partments of church work can be carried on The formal dedication o f the church took place at the morning service. Mr. Frew made a few appropriate remarks, offered a dedicatory prayer and presented the key of the building to A. Moffat, as representing the board of managers, in the name of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The eve-ning sermon was upon the subject of “ Prayer,” and the church was well filled. Mr. Frew, in again referring to the building, congratulated the people of Cranbrook in having erected and dedicated a Presbyteri-an church so early in the history of the town, and thanked those who by their subscriptions made this possible. He ap-pealed for further support to enable the managers to put on the finishing touches.
The Spirit of the Steamer … Boatmen on the Kootenay lake declare that they have seen the steamer Ainsworth passing along the regular route after she was sunk. No information is given as to the brand of whiskey used there.
Hot Air Cabinets Are Here …W. B. Mc-Farlane has received his hot air bath cabi-
nets and placed them ready for use in his barber shop. A hot air bath is a health-giv-ing institution. It will cure colds, relieve lung trouble, cure rheumatism and make any person feel like a new person. Come in and try them.
1900A wonderful display … A representa-
tive of The Herald visited R. E. Beattie’s store this week and was astonished to find the marked metropolitan air which per-vades the establishment. In the first place the room is filled to overflowing with Christmas goods of every variety and de-scription. Nowhere, in East or West Koote-nay, is there a larger or better stock of holi-day goods. The selection of holiday gifts is made easy in his store, as one has such a magnificent field to pick from. There are leather goods, traveling folios, Japanese ware, delicate china, manicures, mirrors, perfumes, works of fiction and poetry, dolls, toys, and novelties of all kinds, and all of the latest designs and makes; not an old article on display. One will find it a pleasure to call and look at this great stock and have the various novelties explained. To the children, Mr. Beattie’s store is a haven of delight, and their bright eyes snap with joy as they gaze on the marvels of beauty displayed. The place is specially arranged for the holiday trade, and at night is flooded by extra electric lights, so a pur-chaser can see as well in the evening as during the day. Whether one buys or not, they cannot afford to miss seeing this im-mense aggregation of articles for young and old.
A Slander On Cranbrook Girls … From the Fernie Free Press: A new game for the winter evenings is called an “ onion socia-ble.” Six young ladies take an onion into a room and after one has taken a bite out of it a young man is admitted. If, after kissing them all, he fails to tell which one o f them bit the onion, all the girls are obliged to kiss him. The girls are said to like the game so
well that they do not bite. This will likely be a favorite game for the young folks of Cran-brook the present winter.
Weather … From the present weather indications it appears as though the Christ-mas of 1900 will be a green one.
New Homes … There are at least 25 new residences being arranged for in Cran-brook. The first summer in the new centu-ry will be a hummer in the building line in Cranbrook.
A Horrible Outbreak … Large sores on my little daughter’s head developed into a case of scald head” writes C. D, Isbill of Morganton, Tenn., but Bicklen’s Arnica Salve completely cured her. It ’s a guaran-teed cure for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, pimples, sores, ulcers and piles. Only 25¢ at Beattie’s Drug Store.
Cranbrook’s Schools … The matter of school accommodation has been a burn-ing question for a long time in Cranbrook. It was only after much “asking for” and a great deal of correspondence that an as-sisted school was started in a shack in the fall of 1898. It took another year to get the government to build a school house, and when they did do it, they built one that was not one-half large enough. This fall the “powers that be” after having been asked repeatedly by the member for this district, have built a new school house to supple-ment the old one, and although this is a great improvement, still we have not room enough and we shall once more have to ask the government to build. In the matter of the salaries of the school teachers, the government’s allowance has for the last 18 months had to be supplemented by pri-vate subscription. The number of school children in the fall of 1898 was seven.

OpiniOn/features
Cranbrook’s Schools, continued … Today, just two years later, the number is nearly 300. There is no doubt that the board of trustees, the teachers and the children have been under many disad-vantages. The government has not, up till now, appreciated the solid and steady growth of Cranbrook, and the conse-quence is that she has been left behind in the forward march of education. But since the town has been visited by a member of the British Columbia cabinet, no doubt the wants of the people of this town (from an educational point of view) will be brought to the ear of the executive, and that, in common justice, they will do all in their power to put the educational facili-ties of Cranbrook upon the level that the town deserves.
1901Great Business … C. P. Campbell, the
undertaker, was in town Thursday. Mr. Campbell says he has buried 81 persons within two years, which shows that busi-ness in his line has been brisk.
Narrow Escape … A brakeman named John Bremner, who lives in Cranbrook, had a very narrow escape in the yard here Wednesday. He was turning a switch and attempted to step on the footboard of the engine. He missed connection and in fall-ing grabbed the brakebeam and was dragged under. While under the engine he let go of the brakebeam and did a stunt that will stop his growth for some time. Nearly the whole length of the big engine passed over him when he was “ hunched” up between the rails. He was taken be-tween the drivers without a scratch.
Marysville … 16 miles northeast of Cranbrook and 3 miles south of Kimber-ley, is a reality. A branch from the North Star railway is graded into the town miles; the rails will be laid in ten days and then? There is already a nice drug store, 3 gen-eral stores, 1 restaurant, a medical man, the Marysville “Tribune,” 3 weeks old, a bright, clean, crispy newspaper; 2 saw-mills, a brickyard turning out 20,000 daily, and’ the stone foundation of the smelter
all but completed is ocular demonstra-tion that the town is there to stay.
Whose Saw? … We borrowed a saw two weeks ago and forgot who loaned it to us. We let this fact be known, and since then nine men have claimed the saw, and four have proven that it was their proper-ty. We still have the saw.
New Road … It is said that the new road from Fernie to Jennings, a distance of 106 miles, will be completed next March.
Saga Creek Oil … East Kootenay is, like Pennsylvania full of natural resources, and it looks as though oil and natural gas are among its assets. Oil prospectors re-port that they have found oil on Saga Creek. The oil came from a spring where the creek leaves the mountains. Near where the oil was found natural gas was escaping from the bedrock. The location of the oil and gas fields is about six miles north of the Kinati Lake locations in the Fort Steele district.

Letters to the editorrecovering grizzly populations not a threat to humans
Wildsight has been engaged with griz-zly bear population surveys as well as ef-forts to assure healthy grizzly bear popu-lations in the region for several decades. While it is true that grizzly bear numbers are recovering in this region, it is a sim-plistic misrepresentation to suggest that recovery is complete and that a hunt is necessary to avoid grizzly encounters with humans. These conclusions are not supported by either detailed grizzly pop-ulation data or the science of human bear-conflict.
Population numbers can easily give the false impression of an overabun-dance of bears roaming the region. While approximately 900 grizzly bears do in-habit the Purcells and Rockies between the US border and Golden, these are sometimes broken into small isolated populations—particularly in the south-ern Purcells. Isolated populations are threatened with extinction. Fragmenta-tion of populations remains a significant issue and there remains a dire need to create and maintain connectivity corri-dors with adjoining bear populations.
The suggestion that hunting is neces-sary to protect people from grizzlies is misinformed and counter to all research on human-bear incidents. It has been consistently demonstrated that guns and the attempted use of lethal force lead to increased injuries of both humans and bears -- and are far less effective than bear spray. A recent Human-Bear Con-flict Conference in Missoula – featuring leading researchers from across North America concluded that hunting does not reduce human-bear conflict.
Most encounters arise when people come in proximity to bear food sources. Bear sightings have steadily increased in the valley since the return of kokanee to our river systems, but the vast majority of bears are neither encountered nor seen by residents, particularly if people prac-tice bear smart management of waste and fruit trees. The incident of watching a
bear consume a horse carcass is the result of poor livestock disposal, and it creates a risk to anyone unaware of the feeding sight. Gut piles left by hunters also lead to human-bear interactions. Bears do their best to avoid humans, unless it becomes a choice between food and confronting people. It is everyone’s responsibility to avoid bear habituation to human food sources. Increased sightings in urban areas are often associated with the failure of berry crops, and only a bear aware community will reduce conflicts.
The majority of recorded grizzly mor-tality is not from hunting, but hunting does unnecessarily increase mortalities. Currently, collisions with trains and highway vehicles represent significant causes of grizzly bear mortality. Hu-man-bear interactions arising from poor management of waste and fruit trees also contribute.
Wildsight’s vision for healthy wildlife populations calls for select wildlife sanc-tuary areas in the Rocky and Purcell Mountains, combined with habitat pro-tection and corridor management.
Grizzly bears remain threatened de-spite healthy populations in some areas of the East Kootenay. There is much work to be done to maintain connectivity. Wildsight focuses efforts on maintaining critical habitat and recovery corridors, particularly across Highway 3 in the Pur-cells and the Rockies.
Hunting will not make people safer. There is no evidence to suggest that opening the hunt will address problem bears wandering near human habitation. We all need to become bear smart and take action on how we influence wildlife behavior.

grinches don’t winYes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia
and their names are Zoey and William Stenerson.
On December 1, the residents of Candy Cane Lane awoke to find their an-nual Christmas displays had been van-
dalized overnight. Zoey and her family always have come to Candy Cane Lane each year on Christmas eve and enjoy the lights and decorations. When seven-year-old Zoey heard what had happened she felt sad and decided that her Christmas wish this year was to “fix Candy Cane Lane after the people had wrecked it”. Zoey took $30 of her own money and then challenged her older brother Wil-liam to match it which he did.Their par-ents Adam and Ramona then matched the kids donations. Zoey’s mom, who is at Shivers in in Western Financial Place, also donated $1 from bags of popcorn sold on December 13 and 14, then David, the manager at the Superstore added a $50 gift card to their cause.
The kids then purchased a number of decorations including extension cords and brought them to us. When they were dropping off the items, Zoey’s mom re-marked to my wife that while she and her family were doing this Zoey said she felt all warm inside, funny after this generous and amazing act we feel kind of warm inside too!
On Monday night after I got home from work I wrote out a little explanation about this wonderful act, attached it to the various items and then got to play Santa by going to each of the neighbours on our street. I had to tell them to read the note as It was very hard to explain without becoming quite emotional. The items purchased now have added at least one new and very special decoration to every display on the street.
I would also like to thank Mary who lives across from the hospital for finding the pile of decorations thrown over the fence at the golf course and then taking the initiative to find out where they had come from and then trying to get them back to the original owners.
Yes, Santa Claus, the spirit of the sea-son alive and well in Cranbrook, even more so on Candy Cane Lane and two rotten Grinches in a little pickup truck will not change that one bit.
Merry Christmas!

Team Canada has fi-nalized their 22-man roster after releasing for-wards Hunter Shinkaruk, Felix Girard and rearguard Damon Severson following two pre-tournament games at the World Junior Championship in Swe-den.
The Canadians start-ed their exhibition ac-tion with a 4-2 win over the Finns on Friday and lost 3-0 against their hosts on Sunday.
The final roster for all teams have to be sub-mitted to the Interna-tional Ice Hockey Feder-ation (IIHF) on Christ-mas Day.
Shinkaruk, captain of the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers and a first-round draft pick of the Vancou-ver Canucks, has been struggling with a hip in-jury this season. Sever-son, a defenceman with the Kelowna Rockets and property of the New Jersey Devils, ended up being the odd man out as the lone cut from the defensive corps.
Girard, who plays for Baie-Comeau Drakkar
of the QMJHL, is in the system with the Nash-ville Predators as a fourth-round pick in the 2013 NHL draft.
Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart picked up an assist while playing alongside OHL phenom Connor McDavid and London Knights star Bo Horvat in a 4-2 win over the Finns on Friday morning.
Canadian goals came from Horvat, Aaron Ek-blad, Anthony Mantha and Mathew Dumba. Canada got 11 saves out of Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Zachary Fu-cale, while generating 20 shots on the Finnish net-minder.
Canada was shut out in only one opportunity on with the man-advan-tage, while killing off all six powerplays from the Finns.
The Canadians rolled into Sunday’s game against the Swedes and lost 3-0.
Jake Paterson got the start, making 31 saves in net, while his team-mates put 21 shots on Swedish goaltender Marcus Hogberg.
Dumba, a former
D-man for the Red Deer Rebels who is now in the NHL with the Minneso-ta Wild, took a five-min-ute major penalty and game misconduct for kneeing.
The Swedes, already
up a goal at that point, made the Canadians pay on the subsequent pow-erplay. Canada also gave up another powerplay goal in the third period.
Canada rounds out their exhibition sched-
ule with a game against the Swiss on Monday. The official preliminary games begin on Boxing Day, with Canada facing the Germans.

Dynamiters split weekend with RocketsTRE VOR CR AWLEY
Sports Editor
A bad period was the only thing that stood between the Kimberley Dynamiters and two wins over the weekend.
The Nitros gave up three goals in the sec-ond period of a 4-1 loss to the Golden Rockets, but exploded for an 8-3 win on home ice the following night in a re-match.
Kimberley is cur-rently in a standings battle with the Fernie Ghostriders and lead by two points for sec-ond place in the Eddie Mountain Division. The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are in the top spot with a sev-en-point cushion.
Brady Revie and Jason Richter led the
way with a pair of goals on Saturday night, as the Nitros scored seven unanswered goals in the second and third period to win 8-3.
The two teams trad-ed powerplay goals in the first frame, Golden first by Cole Mckech-ney before Tyson Kling-spohn answered for the Dynamiters.
Tanner Watt retook the lead for the Rockets a the halfway mark of the second period be-fore the floodgates opened.
In his second KIJHL game after being called up from the B.C. Major Midget League, Coy Prevost notched his first career KIJHL mark-er, followed by Richter’s first of the game a few minutes later.
Leading 3-2 with 20
minutes to go in the game, the Dynamiters put on the pressure.
Four goals at even strength came from Richter, Revie, Alex Ro-solowsky and Jared Marchi, while Revie’s second marker came on the powerplay.
Golden managed to get on the board with 4:13 left in the game with the man-advan-tage on a goal from Dustin Watt.
Jeremy Mousseau picked up the win with
21 saves while Brian Parsons and Adam Johnson collectively made 25 stops in goal for the Rockets.
Kimberley’s power-play drew blood twice in eight opportunities while Golden was good for a pair of goals in 10 chances with the man-advantage.
It was a more posi-tive result than the night before in Golden, where the Dynamiters allowed three goals in the second period to give up a 4-1 loss to the Rockets.
With just under 1:30 left in the opening peri-od, Marchi opened the scoring on a solo effort, but just 24 seconds later, the Rockets an-swered back on a pow-erplay from Braeden Allkins.
In the second peri-od, Nick Hoobanoff and Allkins added even-strength goals, while Ian Desrosier posted a powerplay goal in-between for Golden.
Tyson Brouwer took the loss in goal with 20 saves while Parsons picked up the win with 26 stops in goal for Golden.
The Rockets had the edge on special teams, with two goals in nine powerplay opportuni-ties, while Kimberley was shut out in four chances with the man-advantage.
The Dynamiters have a brief break for Christmas, and will re-turn to action with a game in Fernie against the Ghostriders on Dec. 28th.
the eventual winner to lift the U.S. women’s hockey team over Canada 4-1 on Friday in an exhibition game ahead of the Sochi Winter Games.
Monique Lamoureux and Jocelyne Lamoureux each had a goal and an assist for the American squad and Hilary Knight added one more.
Haley Irwin scored Canada’s lone goal of the game as Jayna Hefford and Caroline Ouellette picked up assists.
The Canadians, under new head coach Kevin Dineen, gave up three goals in a seven-minute span in the second period.
Dineen took his first international coaching job after Dan Church stepped down unexpectedly last week with less than two months before the start of the Sochi Olympics.

HOUSTON - Peyton Manning has broken Tom Brady’s NFL re-cord for most touch-down passes in a sea-son with 51.
Denver’s Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining in the game Sunday against the Texans. Just 2 1-2 minutes earlier, he tied the mark with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker.
“I really feel like it’s a team accomplishment, certainly an offensive a c c o m p l i s h m e n t ,” Manning said. “There’s a lot of people that played roles in this.”
Manning made the throw to Thomas and walked toward the end zone, where his team-mates patted him on the head. He then took off his helmet and walk-ing to the sideline and pumped his fist once. His teammates came out to greet him and he gave dozens of high-fives as he grinned and walked to the bench.
Decker picked up the ball after Thomas dropped it and tucked it in the side of his jersey, where it remained as he walked off the field.
Manning entered the game with 47 TDs and his first touchdown came on a 36-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter.
The second one was a 10-yard throw to Deck-er early in the fourth period.
“We’re not surprised at what Peyton does,” Julius Thomas said. “The work he puts in every day, you see how he demands the best from himself. Fortunate for us, we’re the benefi-ciaries of that.”
Brady set the record, which previously be-longed to Manning, in 2007. Manning had es-tablished the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004.
“They were able to make the big plays and we weren’t able to stop them from doing that,” Houston safety Shiloh Keo said.
Surrounded by the best targets he’s ever had, operating a turbo-charged assault with a body that’s much less a question mark, Man-ning is putting up re-cord numbers like he did in that remarkable 2004 season.
That year, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Brandon Stokley all topped 1,000 yards re-ceiving. Manning es-tablished NFL records with 49 touchdown throws and a 121.1 passer rating, marks since surpassed by Brady and Aaron Rodg-ers (122.5).
Manning was the NFL’s 2012 Comeback
Player of the Year, showing he was every bit as good as before. He’s having his best season at age 37, just two years removed from the four neck sur-geries that weakened his right triceps and threatened his career. He hadn’t missed a start with the Colts be-fore 2011.
Last week, Houston interim coach Wade Phillips said Manning’s season was “just the best year ever of any quarterback.”
Manning began 2013 by becoming the first quarterback since 1969 to throw for seven touchdowns in a game. Earlier this month he broke an NFL record he held with Brett Favre for most playoff appear-ances when he quali-fied for his 13th trip to the post-season.
Although he could set several more stan-dards this season, Man-ning has insisted his only concern is the Broncos’ win-loss re-cord. He wants desper-
ately to gain home-field advantage and the top seed in the AFC playoffs again.
Manning finished Sunday’s game with a career-high 5,211 yards passing. He is 266 from surpassing the sin-gle-season record for yards passing set by Drew Brees in 2011.
Manning threw 37 touchdown passes last year, which broke a franchise record of 27 set by John Elway in 1997 and tied by Jake Plummer in 2004.

Canadian Duncan strikes again in skicross World CupC anadian Press
SAN CANDIDO, Italy - Canadian Dave Duncan is hitting his stride just in time for the Winter Olympics.
Duncan of London, Ont., won his second skicross World Cup in as many days on Sun-day, rocketing him to the top of the men’s overall rankings and qualifying him for the Sochi Games in Febru-ary.
“From the outhouse to the penthouse,” said Duncan, who skied on the international circuit for five years before winning his first World Cup on Saturday. “It’s pretty hard to sum up everything that’s hap-pened this weekend. It’s an incredible feel-ing.
“I know that’s a trou-blesome word, but the truth of it is that de-
scribes how much this means to me to get that first win and not even have to wait 24 hours to get a second one. I mean, this is the stuff you dream of.”
Duncan finished ahead of Austria’s An-dreas Matt and Germa-ny’s Daniel Bohnacker. Calgary’s Brady Leman was fourth in the final after a mid-air collision knocked him off course.
“In the final I was battling, trying to move up,” said Leman. “I was fourth for a bit, third for a bit, I was really bat-tling with Andy Matt and in the end we kind of got tangled up and then I missed a gate and that was it.”
In women’s compe-tition, Marielle Thomp-son of Whistler, B.C., finished second behind Switzerland’s Katrin Mueller. German team-
mates Heidi Zacher and Anna Woerner were third and fourth, re-spectively.
The silver medal kept Thompson atop the overall women’s rankings.
“Today was just awe-some,” said Thompson. “I just won every start and really showed where my skiing’s at. I’m really excited to have the leader bib back again. It just goes
to show that all that training I did this sum-mer is paying off.
“I’m just feeling real-ly great.”
Kelsey Serwa of Kelowna, B.C., won the small final, placing fifth overall.
Canada’s skicross team made the podium fives times over the weekend, bumping sev-eral of its members into contention for spots at the Olympics.
assoCiated PressVAL D’ISERE,
France - Lindsey Vonn is confident that her lat-est knee trouble will not stop her from compet-ing at the Sochi Games in February.
With boyfriend Tiger Woods watching from
the bottom of the slope, Vonn missed a gate in Saturday’s World Cup downhill at Val d’Isere as her troublesome right knee buckled under her and gave way.
The American was clearly distressed after
skiing off course and looked close to tears. She didn’t fall but gri-maced as she pulled up, clutching her knee.
Vonn needed sur-gery in February to re-construct two knee liga-ments after a crash at
the world champion-ships, and then partial-ly re-tore one of them in November.
Vonn said will give herself plenty of rest and only compete in “one maybe two races before the Olympics. That’s it.”
Vonn remains optimistic about Sochi Games

BRASILIA, Brazil - Canada had to wait until the 83rd minute of its match against Scot-land before scoring a goal.
But luckily for the Canadian squad, one goal was all it needed.
Winnipeg’s Sophie Schmidt scored the winner off a Diana Matheson corner kick to seal Canada’s third-place spot in the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Feminino in Brazil on Sunday.
“It’s probably one of my goals to become a more prolific goalscorer so I’ve got to keep that mentality moving for-ward, especially when the likes of Christine Sinclair and Adriana Leon aren’t putting the ball in the back of the net,” Schmidt said. “We’ve got to get that support from that mid-field unit so I want to keep scoring more often.”
A young Canadian team consisting of 15-year-old Jessie Fleming, 16-year-old Sura Yekka, 18-year-old Kadeisha Buchanan, and the 21-year-old Leon looked comfort-able throughout the match, aside from a few Scotland chances
which included a near miss when their oppo-nent hit the crossbar early in the second half.
Head coach John Herdman says he was impressed with the tal-ent shown by his young team.
“In today’s game, we played with a 15, 16, and 18-year-old on the pitch and a 21-year-old all at the same time. So if you talk about the fu-ture I think things bode well,” said Herdman. “It’s going to be great for the future. I was very impressed with Jessie Fleming today and her composure in her (full) debut.”
Leon and Sinclair scored in Canada’s 2-0 victory over Scotland in the tournament opener on Dec. 12. The Cana-dians then lost to Chile 1-0 on Dec. 15 and earned a 0-0 draw with host Brazil on Dec. 18.
That loss and draw sent Canada to a re-match with Scotland for third place.
“The girls deserved to get something out of that today and they did,” Herdman said. “It’s just about resil-ience, persistence to keep going, and I think we should have had it sewn up by halftime to be honest.”

NEW YORK - Centre Brook Lopez has broken a bone in his right foot again, leaving the Brooklyn Nets without their leading scorer as they try to turn around a disappointing season.
The team said Satur-day that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 over-time loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue anoth-er update next week after consultation with their doctors.
Lopez had the same injury, a fractured fifth metatarsal, when he was limited to five games in the 2011-12 season. He underwent surgery following last season to replace a bent screw in the foot.
Lopez is averaging 20.7 points and 6.0 re-
bounds in 17 games. He has missed nine with a sprained left ankle.
Though was no indi-cation he was seriously injured Friday, when he played 44 minutes.
The 7-footer from Stanford didn’t miss a game during his first three seasons in the NBA, but hasn’t made it through a full season since. He missed seven games last season when he sprained the same foot.
The Nets are just 9-17 after entering the sea-son with huge expecta-tions. They have Andray Blatche and Reggie Evans as possible re-placements on the bench, or could move Kevin Garnett to the centre position, as the Boston Celtics did last season.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you kick back and detach, a last-minute problem will solve itself. You also will understand
more of the mechanics of the issue. Your sense of humor could emerge. Drop by a party or two, and start wishing others a Merry Christmas. Tonight: Let the fun continue. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your role might be more pivotal than you realize. You could have a lot of errands to take care of, while someone makes an important request. A partner might offer to pitch in. Togeth-er, all of the tasks you have to do will become easier. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might have special plans. Unfortunately, others don’t seem to realize that fact, or you have not shared it with them. In any case, you could find yourself overwhelmed. People want your company, so make time for them. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” BORN TODAY Actress Susan Lucci (1946), political figure Wesley Clark (1944), poet Robert Bly (1926) ***
Dear Annie: For the past several years, my husband has taken out a new credit card each January and maxed it out over the next 12 months. This has resulted in major debt, which I fear will devastate our family and possibly affect our children and grandchil-dren. My husband is a good and caring person who often picks up the restaurant tabs for our friends and family and buys them gifts they could buy for themselves. As a result, he is extremely popular. If I try to limit these unnecessary expenses, everyone thinks I’m a spoilsport. We are approaching the time where he will apply for another new credit card. Should I prohibit this until we reach some agreement on budget cuts? Should I let him go ahead and get the new card and then try to nego-tiate budget cuts? Or do I keep on trucking as usual and hope for the best? -- Concerned Spouse Dear Spouse: If you are going into debt, please don’t shove this under the carpet un-til you are living on the street. Your husband seems to be a compulsive buyer, and it can be similar to other addictions that require effort to overcome. Is he willing to recog-nize and address the problem? (Therapy can help.) Would he be willing to let you handle the family finances while he is put on a cash allowance? You also can contact Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org) and the International OCD Foundation (ocfoun-dation.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, our daugh-ter married a truly nice guy, and they made it clear right away that they didn’t want “drop-in” visitors. I understood this, as they both work full time. Three years ago, they bought a large home close to us, but in all the years they’ve been married, we can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been invited over for anything, including the kids’ birthdays, cookouts, etc. Yet I know my daughter’s in-laws are often invited. Our grandchildren ask why we never come to their house, and I simply say it’s because we’re never invited. What should I say? -- Confused in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please stop manipulating the children to get to the parents, which is exactly what you are doing when you tell them you’re “never invited.” Instead, talk to your daughter. Ask whether there is a prob-lem and what you can do about it. She may have reasons for keeping you at a distance, so please make her understand that you cannot fix things if you don’t know what the issues are. If she still doesn’t invite you to her place, ask whether the children can visit at your house. As long as you can see your fam-ily, it really doesn’t matter where. Dear Annie: “Too Late To Try Again” said she was cut off by a relative with no explana-tion. This happened in my family. Tell her it might help if she can laugh about the situa-tion. I am from an Italian family and married into another Italian family. My new mother-in-law was angry with her cousin “Angela.” They had been close for a long time, but then they didn’t speak for years. When Angela died, my mother-in-law cried buckets but refused to go to the funer-al. She said, “We didn’t talk when she was alive, and I’m not going to talk to her now that she’s dead.” So I asked my mother-in-law what the argument was about, because it was obviously so terrible that good friends stopped speaking. She replied, with tears in her eyes, “I don’t remember!” But true to her word, she did not go to the funeral. -- New York Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1935 - 2013It is with deep sorrow that the family of Bob Fisher announces his passing on Monday, December 16, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 78 years of age.
Bob was born on July 20, 1935 in Bellevue, Alberta. He enjoyed golf, Saturday morning shift curling and
baseball with the Kimberley Hobo’s. Bob was a long time Kimberley resident and worked at Cominco. He was transferred to Castlegar to continue his work with Cominco in 1985. In 1995 Bob retired from Cominco and relocated in Marysville, his home until his passing.
Bob is survived by his loving wife Bev of 56 years, his son Michael (Cheryl) Fisher, his daughter Joy (John) Elias, his grandchildren Misty (Brent) Afdahl, Ethan (Jessica) Elias, Samantha Fisher, Nicholas Fisher, his great granddaughter Tatum Afdahl, his sister Donna (Max) Hockstetter and his brother Alan (Lucy) Fisher. Bob was predeceased by his sister Marg Fisher.
The family would like to thank the staff of East Kootenay Regional Hospital for the care and compassion Bob received during his stay.
At Bob’s request, there will be no funeral service. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in his honour may do so to the charity of their choice.
Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolence for the family can be offered at:
