Record Staff
A Comox Valley RCMP officer along with another driver had to be extracted from their vehicles Monday evening following a crash near the entrance to North Island College.
Around 8:30 p.m., Const. Anne Bock in a marked vehicle was returning to the detachment when her vehicle was struck by a Jeep.
According to Staff Sgt. Andrew Isles, there was no call in prog-ress when the officer was driving.
He noted it appears a vehicle travelling east on Ryan Road crossed the centre line and struck the police vehicle.
Initial reports indicate Bock suffered multiple injuries, includ-ing broken legs, and a possible broken arm and was transported to St. Josephs General Hospital in Comox.
Isles added it appears the driver in the other vehicle was unconscious and in considerable pain. The driver of the second vehicle was airlifted to hospital in Vancouver.
A collision reconstructionist was brought in to determine the cause of the accident.
Isles added police are examin-ing the evidence to determine if charges will be laid.

Wolf attack suspected as cause for dogs injuriesRene AndorRecord Staff
A wolf attack could be the cause of a Black Creek dogs severe injuries, including a ripped-off tail, according to the dogs owner Samantha Garstang.
Garstang let her eight-month-old border collie-Jack Russell cross Nako out for a bathroom break on Thursday eve-ning, and to her surprise he came back dripping blood 20 minutes later.
His tail was removed, and he had extensive punctures and lacerations to his back legs and belly. His knee capsule was punctured and a liga-ment blown. His front knee was also bitten badly, wrote Garstang in an e-mail. Nako really had to fight for his life and somehow he made it home to us.
Garstang rushed Nako to Van Isle Veterinary Hospital, where he underwent three hours of surgery and was still being monitored
by hospital staff as of Monday afternoon.
Van Isle veterinarian Dr. Laura McKenny treated Nako on Thurs-day, and while she said she cant be sure exactly what attacked Nako, she is very confident it was a wild animal.
The wounds are consistent with a wild animal attack that
was trying to take down the dog, she said. He was pretty torn apart.
McKenny also pointed out that Black Creek con-servation officer Gordon Gudbran-son said the wounds looked like they were
caused by wolves specifically.McKenny said hospital staff
hope Nako will be home for Christmas.
Its a long recovery but were confident that he will pull through, she added.
Garstang said the hospital capped Nakos care costs at $3,000 for his immediate surgery and care costs, and she said another
possible surgery could cost about $1,000 more.
Garstang has set up a web-site with updates on Nakos prog-ress and an option for donations toward Nakos vet bills. Anyone
wishing to donate can go to http://nako.chipin.com/nako-lives.
Alternately, people can donate directly to Nakos account at Van Isle Veterinary Hospital at 1111

With the recent events unfolding at the Attawapiskat First Nation in north-ern Ontario, I felt it was time for me to share my thoughts on the state of aboriginal affairs in Canada.
What does the average non-native or non-aboriginal person think of when they hear the word aboriginal or native or even Indian? I would have to say without doing a formal poll that would take time and money, the average person in B.C. generally has negative thoughts come to mind first before anything positive.

In response to a pro-posed resolution from Coun. Roger Kishi, the Village of Cumberland will request the prov-ince to negotiate a clear, permanent exemption for local governments from the Canada-Eu-ropean Union Com-prehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
According to the Council of Canadians, Canada has much to lose and little to gain from the deal, which it says is about deregula-tion, privatization and increasing corporate investment rights.
The resolution also requests:
A briefing from government on the scope and content of trade negotiations with the European Union;
The Federation of Canadian Municipali-ties (FCM) provide a sector-by-sector analy-sis of potential impacts
on munici-pal functions and powers of procurement regime the union is seek-ing;
The FCM urge the fed-eral govern-ment not to provide the union with access to subnational govern-ment procurement.
The reso-lution willbe forwarded to Vancou-ver IslandNorth MPJohn Duncan, Comox Val-ley MLA DonMcRae, the
FCM and the Unionof BC Municipalitiesfor consideration andresponse.
Continued from frontBraidwood Rd., or by calling the hospital at 250-334-8400 and using a credit card.
Garstang said she believes the attack hap-pened on her property at Hamm and Macaul-ay Roads, because it happened so quickly and Nako had some gravel on his back con-sistent with what she
has on her driveway.She said her dog will
not be allowed outside unsupervised anymore, and she worries about her three-year-old child.
Its scary to think that this was so close
in our yard, said Garstang. It just really changes our pattern of
what were comfortable with.

Affordable request has to waitRene AndorRecord Staff
A request by Len Mathot Homes Ltd. to reapply for rezoning of its proposed affordable housing project on Cumberland Road with-in a year was denied Mon-day by Courtenay council.
The original proposal to rezone properties at 703, 721 and 745 Cumberland Rd. from industrial to resi-dential use was defeated after the public hearing on Nov. 14.
However, by Nov. 21 the City received an amend-ed application from Len Mathot, owner of the devel-opment company.
After careful consid-eration of the comments received from the neigh-bours I have amended my development proposal to comply with the current zoning on the neighbouring properties, wrote Mathot in a letter to the City. I respectfully request that council permit the submis-sion of a new application for this property.
The normal wait time for reapplications is one year, but Mathot asked council to waive the rule in this case.
Coun. Starr Winchester was opposed.
I spoke with three neigh-bours, including a busi-
ness, and they felt it was incumbent on the applicant to come and talk to them about his new proposal prior to asking council to waive the one-year waiting period, said Winchester in an e-mail.
She added that neigh-bours said Mathot had not spoken with them yet, although he said in his let-ter to the City he intends to discuss the proposal with them during December.
If the developer spoke
with the neighbours and worked with them, I would be more than willing to look at waiving the waiting peri-od of one year, Winchester said.
Coun. Jon Amber called the 12 months between
reapplications a cooling-off period, but noted that the risk of taking a shorter cooloff time fell on the devel-oper. He also mentioned that if defeated, the devel-oper would have 12 months to talk to the surrounding residents.
Coun. Doug Hillian pointed out that the new application changed from 33 proposed units to 12 two-bedroom units, adding that this change was significant, but that he suspected the
rental units would each costmore at this size.
Coun. Ronna-Rae Leon-ard said the proposed proj-ect fits within the OfficialCommunity Plan and thatthe reapplication addressedthe need of low-income housing for families insteadof singles. She agreed therisk fell on the developerand suggested giving hima chance.
Coun. Bill Anglin said Mathot seemed to be try-ing to meet the needs of theneighbours, and said thebar has not been lowered;its been raised, by the com-pany.
Coun. Manno Theos made a motion to table theissue for 90 days since thereapplication was hot offthe press after the originalwas defeated.
Council needed a two-thirds majority voting in favour to pass the proposal.It was defeated with Leon-ard, Amber, Anglin and Hill-ian in favour, and Theos,Winchester and Jangula opposed.

Pidcock open round the clockScott Stanfield Record Staff
Pidcock House is offering emergency shelter services on a temporary, 24/7 basis thanks to $50,000 in pro-visional funding from the B.C. government.
The Salvation Army shelter at 632 Pidcock Ave. in Courtenay which nor-mally provides homeless individuals struggling with addictions, mental health and/or behavioral issues with accommodation from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. increased its hours of o p e r a t i o n M o n d a y . BC Hous-ing funds 14 beds at the shelter while the Sally Ann supplies three.
I t s e x t r e m e l y good news, said pas-tor Darryl Burry, not-ing the 24/7 provision is a key com-ponent to addressing homelessness in the Comox Valley. With the cold, wet weather upon us, our desire is to provide a warm, dry place for shelter guests to be during daytime hours.
Minister Responsible for Housing Rich Coleman said the province is answering the call to the Salvation Armys need for 24/7 shel-ter services.
This is why I got into politics to help make a difference in the Comox Val-ley, local MLA Don McRae said. This funding will help the Salvation Army contin-ue to provide their valuable services round-the-clock to some of the most vulner-able members of our com-munity.
The supplementary funding runs out March 31. Until then, Pidcock House will provide three meals a day and greater access to support services. Guests,
for instance, can access case management during the day. The shelter, how-ever, is not operating drop-in services.
You must be a guest of the shelter to be in the building during daytime hours, Burry said. It is our desire to provide assis-tance to those in need to help them from the situa-tion that they find them-selves in, and try and assist them in setting goals that are achievable and measur-able.
While the shelter doors are open, we will be encouraging guests to be connecting with various local agen-cies, looking for perma-nent hous-ing solutions as well as g a i n i n g meaningful employment, all with the assistance of our staff.
This is the first time
Pidcock has received pro-visional funds, previously hampered by a city bylaw that prohibited the shelter from operating on a 24/7 basis. In October, Courte-nay council amended the bylaw.
The Comox Valley is the only region in B.C. without a 24/7 shelter.
Last year, more than 600 homeless people were provided with stable hous-ing through the Homeless Outreach Program and the Aboriginal Homeless Out-reach Program that oper-ates in Greater Victoria, Cowichan, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Duncan, Campbell River and Courtenay.
To accommodate the 24/7 operations at Pidcock House, the Salvation Army hopes to hire new staff members on a temporary basis until March 31. Visit www.cvsalarmy.ca to apply.

Comox Valley Com-mon Sense is still a hot issue for some Valley residents, as the major-ity of people attend-ing Tuesdays council meeting left as soon as discussions on the mat-ter ended.
Coun. Ronna-Rae Leonard announced at Mondays council meet-ing that Elec-tions Canada is investigat-ing the Comox Valley Common Sense orga-nization.
I personally have contacted Elections Canada regarding this matter because there is something signifi-cant that I feel has to be investigated, said Leonard. In fact, Elections Canada has forwarded to the com-missioner for investi-gation so it does have some merit.
Leonard also moved that the City request the organization to disclose the source of that organizations contact information used during the 2011 Courtenay civic elec-tions.
Cards were mailed out during municipal elections in November endorsing seven candi-dates each in Courtenay and Comox. Leonard was not endorsed.
Leonards motion said some members of the public raised con-cerns regarding a lack of transparency and access to private infor-
mation by a campaign organization named Comox Valley Common Sense.
Coun. Manno Theos said he hasnt heard any concerns from the public, and men-tioned the Internet is a resource base for anyone able to use a computer.
This, to me, is simply a non-issue, said Theos, who was endorsed. Its a very odd issue to be talking about.
Coun. Doug Hillian countered, saying the production of mailing lists is not so simple as looking up contact information online.
The pro-duction of mailing lists
is a little more sophis-ticated than looking up peoples addresses on the Internet and its a fair amount of work, it takes a fair amount of organization, said the unendorsed Hill-ian. Im not sure why it would be a problem for anybody to ask that question.
The organization has the ability to either respond to it or not, but Im not sure why it would be incumbent on us at this table to protect them from hav-ing the question asked of them.
Coun. Jon Ambler said the question should be asked of the organization, but wasnt sure if it was the Citys duty or Elec-tions Canadas duty to ask it.
Coun. Bill Anglin agreed the organiza-
tion needs to be asked where it got the contact information, but said it is not the Citys place to ask it. He suggested leaving the issue to
Elections Canada.Common Sense
endorsed Ambler andAnglin.
The motion wasdefeated.

Motion simply a non-issueCoun. Leonard fails in bid to persuade council to take action
MAKE A WISH Santa Claus made his annual visit to the Light-house Day Care with his box of presents. His sleigh also carried three turkeys from the Kiwanis Club of Brandon for the Light-house Christmas dinner.
Comox fire chief Gord Schreiner reminds us that most fires can be prevented and this is no different at Christ-mas time.
He recommends that you follow these impor-tant fire safety tips:
Decorate with flame-retardant or non-combustible mate-rials.
Dont leave candles burning unattended or within the reach of children.
Ensure that can-dles are located well away from any com-bustible materials.
Never use candles to decorate a Christ-mas tree.
Christmas wrap-ping and decorations can be highly combus-tible and should be kept away from heat sources.
Recycle gift-wrap and boxes where appro-priate. Do not burn them in the fireplace because they might cause a chimney fire.
Use only approved Christmas lights.
Do not overload electrical circuits or extension cords.
Always turn Christmas lights off before leaving home or going to sleep.
Chief Schreiner also urges all residents to practise fire safety in the kitchen during the
festive season.Do not leave cook-
ing food unattended and if you are faced with a grease fire, put a lid on it! Remem-ber, always turn pot handles to the back of the stove when cook-ing, to avoid pots being pulled or knocked off, Schreiner advises.
The importance of early warning in the event of a fire should not be forgotten. This holiday season, give a gift that saves lives give someone you love a smoke alarm.
Also ensure that your friends and fam-ily are protected year round with working smoke alarms in their homes.

From diapers to for-mula, Shawna Robert-son hopes to make the holiday season a little bit brighter for Comox Valley families.
Robertson is the co-creator of Instinctual Parenting, a program of peaceful parenting which aids parents with ways of learning how to discipline and reduce stress within a safe, supportive group.
We have 237 mem-bers in just over one year, said Robertson, a nursing student at North Island College, who encourages par-ents of any age to join.
Robertson knew of a family struggling for the basic needs to sup-port an 18-month-old girl, and approached the group for dona-tions.
I was blown away by how much and how fast we were about to support a family for one month, she explained. I also found out that diapers and formula are some of the least-donated items at the food bank. There are so many families that
go without adequate nutrition during the holiday season.
Robertson then began planning the Baby Basics Food Drive for diapers, for-mula, bottles and more for families between Nov. 1 and Dec. 7. She approached a vari-ety of businesses and organizations within the Valley including Firefly, Podlings and the Comox Valley Mid-wifery, along with the
public for donations. Everyone dug deep;

Its Jeff Hamptons hope that everyone in the Comox Valley can have a merry Christ-mas, and that includes having food on the table.
Hampton, the presi-dent of the Comox Val-ley Food Bank, said that donations to the organization have been steady, and are down only slightly from last year.
People want to make sure they have a merry Christmas, noted Hampton. Peo-ple are very generous before Christmas.
He added the food bank is most chal-lenged in the new year from January until March.
One change this sea-son is what Hampton describes as a push for more perishables more fresh fruit and veggies.
The Fresh From The Heart campaign is an attempt to provide fresh produce, milk and nutritional snacks to clients.
He said as long as the food bank is open and there are volun-teers available, people can drop off perishable food that they can store in refrigerators over-night for distribution the following day.
Hampton said the program to distrib-ute fruits and veggies began about a month ago, as a way to increase the distribution of bet-ter, healthier food.
The Comox Valley Food Bank helps 1,200 people per month with emergency food ham-pers. Last year, the
food bank distributed 7,863 food hampers to households in the com-munity.
Currently, the most needed food is fresh fruits and vegetables, peanut butter and nuts, dried beans, cheese, eggs, canned beans, fish, meat, fruit, veg-gies, pasta sauce and toiletries.
Hampton added cash donations are also
welcome, and with any financial donation, the food bank can issue tax receipts until Dec. 31.
The Comox Valley Food Bank is closed Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
Hampton added he would like to thank the Comox Valley for sup-porting the organiza-tion, and would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

A Christmas Dream still needs donations of warm clothes and money to help local homeless people this Christmas.
Campaign co-ordi-nator Marie McCooey and her co-workers at Re/Max Ocean Pacific Realty are accept-ing donations of cash or warm winter goods like coats, blankets and footwear for the Dawn to Dawn Action on Homelessness Society until Christmas.
It bothers me that people have nowhere to live, said McCooey. Its our aim to help people who are home-
less.Dawn to Dawn pro-
vides medical and den-tal services and basic care through its Care-A-Van to the Valleys homeless population.
Cash donations will help with the onboard opthamologist and dental services the van provides, explained McCooey, who said she was first made aware of the Care-A-Van pro-gram through a fam-ily friend who works in the van.
McCooey said every penny donated goes directly to the society and while she hasnt received any donations of winter goods yet, she has received a couple of
cash donations.And she just sent
out letters to previous donors about a week ago so shes hoping cor-porate sponsors who helped support the A Christmas Dream in previous years will again contribute to their campaign.
As for donations of winter goods, McCoo-ey said Ocean Pacific Realty hopes Comox Valley residents will drop off some gen-tly used items before Christmas is here.
Anything thatll keep people warm would be much appre-ciated, said McCooey.
Donations can be dropped off at either
Ocean Pacific Realty locations located at 282 Anderton Rd. in Comox or 2230A Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay.
For more infor-mation, call MarieMcCooey at Re/Max at250-339-2021 or 250-334-9900.

Clothes priority for Secret SantaRene AndorRecord Staff
Pamela Jolin has never seen so many requests for warm clothes instead of toys for kids, which she said reflects the Valleys economy.
As organizer of the Secret Santa program for First Insurance Agencies, she said the fact that necessities are asked for shows some families really need extra help during the holidays.
I mean the kids arent asking for the moon; theyre asking for the necessities in life, said Jolin.
Parents are asking for winter clothes for their kids instead of toys. There just isnt money for the fun stuff their kids need.
Jolin added that if a young child request-ed a winter coat, theyre going to receive a small toy as well.
Santa, to me, wouldnt bring just a win-ter coat to a little kid, she explained.
The Secret Santa concept, which is co-sponsored by JET-FM and the Comox Valley Record, is a simple one.
There are a great many families in our communities for whom Christmas is a financial burden that simply cannot be overcome.
Rather than leave these children with-out gifts this holiday season, Secret Santa provides a means for individuals to anony-mously purchase a gift from a real childs wishlist, and have that gift connected with the child in time for Christmas.
Trees were set up with information tags at partner locations where people could choose a tag and shop for a requested gift for a local child in need. The tags had pseud-onyms to protect the childs privacy.
The program collected toys for 785 kids, split about half and half in the Comox Val-ley and Campbell River, this year.
Now, volunteers will anonymously deliver the gifts to the parents of the registered children, for opening on Christmas day. Jolin said she expects to have all the gifts delivered by the end of the day today.
Jolin said the program has been growing each year since it started in 2001, adding that 197 kids received gifts in the programs first year, and 696 kids received gifts in 2010. writer @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Tessmann trio playing at Zocalo
For a relaxing musi-cal evening to finish your frantic day of Christmas shopping, join musicians Pamela Tessmann, Jim Stepan and Jan Neuspiel this Thursday.
Theyre playing from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Zocalo Caf and Gallery in downtown Courtenay at the intersection of Cliffe Avenue and Fifth Street.
The trio will entertain the Zocalo dinner crowd with a selection of tunes from Pamelas album, Maybe as well as some new original music, and a selection of holiday favou-rites.
With a soulful blend of alternative pop stylings, Pamela Tessmann, for-merly Keld, is no stranger to the Comox Valley music scene. From toe-tapping tunes to expressive bal-lads, her lyrics shed an honest and refreshing perspective on lifes les-sons.
Pamela brings a vibrant tone to all her vocals and has evoked comparisons to todays top female art-ists.
Recently joined by Jim Stepan on percussion and Jan Neuspiel on bass, the trio is sure to put on an enchanting show.
The Zocalo Caf has become one of the Comox Valleys best music ven-ues, with live performanc-es three days a week and an outstanding breakfast, dinner and lunch menu.

TIMELY CHRISTMAS MUSIC and oldtime favourites are what you can expect from the Lensmen this Friday at the Zocalo Caf.
Oldtime, seasonal favourites played
The Lensmen will play at the Zocalo Caf this Friday night start-ing at 7:30.
Len Wilkie, the Len in the Lensmen, will drum in a groove that is based on years of playing with a wide range of groups includ-ing the Desperation Jazz Band.
Mike Eddy on piano brings an eclectic sound to this group that explores a variety of musical nuances.
Al West on bass and banjo always keeps the music pulsing and will also have you smiling with his entertaining renditions of some very old Dixie tunes.
Noel Thomas on trumpet is a master of Dixieland and will also pull at your heart strings with the beauty of his sound and style.
As well as some time-ly Christmas music, the group will play some very familiar music
like Harlem Nocturne, Sweet Georgia Brown and South of the Bor-der along with some great music that you dont get to hear often enough, including Blue Turning Grey Over You and River Stay Away from My Door.

Isfeld Ice junior girls basketball team wins Vanier Christmas tournament -- SEE PAGE 13
Glacier Kings earn weekend split
Earle CouperRecord Staff
Just ahead of the holi-days, there was no place like home for the Comox Valley Glacier Kings and Campbell River Storm as they split a pair of week-end Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League games.
Scrooge-like goaltend-ing at both ends of the ice kept the scoring low in both contests as the Storm prevailed 3-2 in a shootout Dec. 16 in Campbell River while the Glacier Kings eked out a 2-1 win Dec. 17 in Courtenay.
The results left the Ice-men eight points up on the Oceanside Generals in the battle for first place in the North Division. The sec-ond-place Generals have a game in hand, and the two teams meet tonight in a big four-pointer at the Comox Valley Sports Cen-tre. Face-off is 7 p.m.
This past Friday at Rod BrindAmour Arena, the third-place North Division Storm led 1-0 after one period and 2-0 after two. The Glacier Kings rallied to tie the game in the third on goals by Adam Robertson and Jackson Garrett.
Neither team mustered much offence in overtime and the Storm netted the only goal in the shootout to take the 3-2 win.
Final shots on goal were 44-33 in favour of the home team, with Nick Babich getting the win and Jackson Winkler tak-ing the loss.
The next night in Cour-tenay, Garretts 22nd of the season was the only scoring through the first two periods of play. The teams exchanged third-period goals, with Garrett Brandsma tallying the winner for the Yetis.
Shots on goal were 44-25 for the Glacier Kings with Cameron Large picking up the win and Andy Salazar tagged with the loss.
Tonights game is the Yetis final outing of 2011. Following their holiday hiatus they return to
action Jan. 5 when they visit the league-leading Victoria Cougars.
ICE CHIPS Oceanside lost ground to the Yetis on the weekend, losing 6-2 Friday to Peninsula Panthers and having their Saturday home game against Peninsula can-
celled after two periods when the Zamboni dam-aged the ice; the Gener-als were leading 4-2 and a Panthers spokesperson said the game will be fin-ished or replayed some-where down the road ... the Saanich Braves host the 2012 VIJHL All-Star
Classic Jan. 15 in Victoria ... for all the latest Island Jr. B buzz, visit www.vijhl.com ... Garrett is second in league scoring with 49 points (22g, 27a) ... Larges 10 wins is tied for second, just one back of Victorias Kiefer Giroux ...

McLean returns to Spengler CupEarle CouperRecord Staff
While many Canadians will be reheating Christ-mas turkey leftovers on Boxing Day, Brett McLean will be heating up the ice in Davos, Switzerland at the 2011 Spengler Cup.
The Royston Rocket is part of the 24-man Cana-dian team announced Dec. 9 by Hockey Canada that will be in Davos for the Dec. 26-31 tourney. It is the second straight year that McLean will represent Canada at the event: last year he tied for top spot in Canadian scoring with one goal and four assists as Canada captured the silver medal, losing 4-3 to SKA St. Petersburg of Rus-sia in the final.
This years national mens team roster is com-prised of Canadian players currently playing in Europe, as well as players currently playing in the American Hockey League loaned to Hockey Canada by NHL teams. Last year McLean was with Bern of the Swiss league; this year he is skat-ing with the Rockford Ice-hogs, the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.
McLean is tied for third in Icehogs scoring with 18 points (7g, 11a) in 28 games. The 510, 185-pound centre notched 27 points (10g, 17a) and 22 penalty minutes in 2010-11 in 50 games with Bern, where he spent two seasons.
Originally selected by the Dallas Stars in the ninth round (242nd overall) of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, McLean previously skated for the Blackhawks from 2002-04, recording 11 goals, 20 assists and 54 penalty minutes in 78 regular-sea-son tilts.
McLean has posted 162 points (56G, 106A) in 385 career regular-season games over parts of six NHL seasons with Chicago, Colorado Avalanche (2005-07) and Florida Panthers (2007-09) and registered
one assist in eight Stanley Cup playoffs games with Colorado in 2006.
McLean is one of eight returnees from last years Spengler Cup squad and is one of five players who have also represented Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship.
Along with Canada, this years Spengler Cup includes HC Vitkovice Steel (Czech Republic) and the host HC Davos (Switzer-land) playing in the Cat-
tini Group. Dinamo Riga ( L a t v i a ) , EHC Wolfs-burg Grizzly Adams (Ger-many) and the Kloten Flyers (Switzerland) c o m p r i s e the Torriani Group.
C a n a d a opens the tour-nament Dec. 26 against HC
Vitkovice Steel at 11 a.m. PT. All of Canadas games will be broadcast on TSN or TSN2.
Canada has appeared in nine of the last 11 champi-onship games, winning the Spengler Cup in 2002, 2003 and 2007. Overall, Canada has won the Spengler Cup 11 times (1984, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2007) since first taking part in the tournament in 1984.
The Spengler Cup, held annually since 1923, is the oldest professional interna-tional hockey tournament in the world.
The 2011 Spengler Cup team was assembled by Brad Pascall, Hockey Canadas vice-president of hockey operations/national teams, along with Hockey Canadas national teams staff, head coach Marc Crawford and assistant coaches Doug Shedden and Trent Yawney.
The players we have selected are Canadian ambassadors for the game, both in North America and Europe, and we are excited they will wear the Maple Leaf in Davos, said Pascall. We look forward to getting on the ice in Switzerland and representing Canada proudly.

Alumni hoops setThose oldies and goldies are back on the
hardwood tomorrow as both the Isfeld Ice and Highalnd Raiders are holding alumni games on Dec. 22
The sixth annual Isfeld basketball alum-ni tournament sees the seniors take on all the Ice basketball players from years past. Last year the tournament raised $800 for a bursary for a graduating senior. Game time is 10 a.m.; admission is by donation.
Meanwhile, the Highland reunion sees gym doors open at 5:15 p.m. The grad girls and senior girls play at 6 p.m. followed by a grad men vs. grad men game at 7 p.m. Survivors from that game get to take on the current senior boys team at 8 p.m.
Donations for food bank welcome.
Isfeld girls win Vanier tournamentThe Isfeld Ice junior
girls basketball team perservered and won the Vanier Towhees Christmas Tournament this past weekend (Dec. 16-17).
Isfeld, coached by Santa Claus in the final game, defeated a very game Alberni Armada squad in the finals. Isfeld advanced to the championship by defeating a young Ballenas Whalers team from Parksville and a hard-working, younger Vanier B team who filled in admirably for a no-show team from Nanaimo.
In those games, MacKenzie Kirk won the assists contest while Shemyn Fayd edged Camille Bourget out for the rebounding title and hardwork-ing newcomer Rachel Dunn was in the run-ning for the steals com-petition.
In the final the Isfeld girls jumped out to an early lead led by aggressive drives to the basket by Leah Cicon, Michaela Ashlee and Melia Irvine. Through-out the game Isfeld did a better job rebounding than the visitors from the Alberni Valley led by Shemyn, Yasmine, Camille, Leah and Hana.
However, Alberni turned on the heat in the third quarter, out-scoring the Ice 14-4 and taking a five-point lead going into the fourth frame.
Tight defence plus some key baskets and fouls shots by Avery Snider, Yasmine and Michaela and two long-distance bombs from downtown Courtenay by Danielle VanBer-gen turned the tide back in favour of the Ice as they returned the favour, outscoring their opponents 14-4 in the fourth to win the championship. Tough Alberni remains a for-midable foe in league play for the girls, coach Claus said.
After some impor-tant practices over the holidays, besides bas-ketball learning and as well as to run off the Christmas turkey, the Ice girls resume exhibi-tion play in Victoria in January.
Special thanks to Heidi Zirkl and all for hosting and arranging all the details at Vanier for the well-run junior girls tournament, coach Claus added.
