Farmers find themselves on the outside Fort Steele Farm faces crisis over agricultural land commission’s refusal to allow subdivision
SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
A local farming family is reeling after their plan to pass on the business to a daughter was effectively shut down by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). Sharon Mielnichuk and Mike Malmberg want to sell Fort Steele Farm to their daughter, Maxine Malmberg, and her husband, Russ Sheppard. The farm lies in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), so they applied to the ALC to have a small piece of the farm subdivided off, where Mike and Sharon could live in their retirement. But the ALC denied
first as a commercial egg layer operation then as a roadside farm market. The farm produces honey, eggs, berries, more than 15 vegetable species, and includes a full-scale bakery. The farm hosts more than 500 students from kindergarten through Grade 3 annually from more than a dozen different schools. It also hosts outings from seniors complexes, special needs groups and youth organizations. It employs more than 10 people during peak season. After more than 30 years running the farm, though, Sharon and Mike are finding it more and more difficult to keep up with the physi-
the subdivision request, instead suggesting that Mike and Sharon live in a manufactured home on the property.
“Some of these farms are being sold, but it’s not farmers buying it. It’s people buying it for recreation, so they can run their quads and hunt. They are not ever intending to farm.” Jane Walter Mielnichuk and Malmberg have owned and operated Fort Steele Farm since 1979,
cally draining work. They began to think about what would happen to the beloved home and business. The choice seemed to be to sell the entire property, or seriously
reduce production to a scale they could keep up with in their retirement. “The size of the parcel and its location make it highly desirable to new owners with no
agricultural interest,” said Mielnichuk. “In either case, the agricultural production and opportunities on the parcel of land would be diminished. As farmers who have devoted a
large portion of our lives to developing the agricultural potential of this parcel, these options are not very palatable to us.”

Agent had criminal record, killer tattoo
‘That’s them bragging they’ve killed someone?’ C A M F ORTEMS Kamloops Daily News
An RCMP member testified Thursday there was no mistaking a federal prisoner on the run who was reported to be armed and hiding out in Cranbrook. That prisoner, who walked away from a halfway house in Vancouver and was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant, was John Garry Shank. Months later Shank would become
a police agent and is expected to be the key witness against three men in a murder conspiracy trial underway in Kamloops. Cpl. Lee Gregor said during testimony that Shank’s tattoos included a spider beside his left eye and an elaborate design on his neck. The markings were obvious in a mugshot distributed to police.

Reggae-Rocker coming to the Byng F e r dy B e l l a n d
“It’s unlikely; five very different songs covering Motown, bluegrass, folk, flamenco, and psychedelia,” said Vancouver’s reggae-rocker Buckman Coe of his new EP, Crow’s Nest. “I wrote most of these songs on a beach in Hawaii last year, and road-tested them on the Crowsnest Highway itself. Lyrically, they express love of this land, community empowerment, and resistance to the oil pipelines ... with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure. “The actual CD is an art piece created by an old friend in a boutique print shop. The album title was chosen due to how beautiful is was to tour along the highway of the same name ... and the
crow’s nest is a ship’s lookout platform. That’s what I feel my role as a musician is: to sing it out as I see it.” Buckman Coe’s upcoming Feb. 14 performance at Cranbrook’s Byng Roadhouse (with local singer-songwriter Heather Gemmell and band opening) brings his Crowsnest Pass concept full circle. He describes his current tour as a royal blast: “I chose two friends to tour with who absolutely rock, and are committed to making this music the best we can be. We started in Tofino and got some surfing in. That ties into this incredible mini-documentary Groundswell I’ve been showing at the start of our concerts; it’s a surf film in the Great Bear Rainforest, showing what’s

We’ve made new friends, and received support from local bands, like Willhorse in Golden. That’s the new music community of cooperation and love!” Vo c a l i s t- g u i t a rist-songwriter Buckman Coe finds himself a peer among other vibrant Vancouver acts who carve out their own niche and audiences through sincere songwriting and powerful stage presence, regardless of different genres and styles: Five Alarm Funk, the Boom

And the tour van’s stereo blasts out even more eclecticism. “I’ve been digging Tommy T’s album The Prester John Sessions,” Coe said. “Bob Marley’s Babylon by Bus, and Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood’s Out Louder has been melting my mind again.” When asked how he would like his music to be remembered by, Buckman had this to say: “As a brave, honest, and uplifting expression of myself, my beliefs, and my views of our times. For some folks, I know that certain songs have helped them get through their own struggles, and have encouraged them. Some remind them of friends and lovers in a certain point in their life. I’d like some of my more rocking, upbeat songs to remind people of good times, dancing, festivals, and celebration of life. Above all, I want people to remember and enjoy the many facets, genres, range of expression, and constant evolution my music has, and will, take.” Buckman Coe hits the stage at the Byng Roadhouse (21 Cranbrook St.N.) the evening of Feb. 14, with special guests the Heather Gemmell Band.

Farm’s future in jeopardy after ALC decision, owners say Continued from page 1 Fortunately, one of Sharon and Mike’s four children, Maxine, offered to take over the family business, and has moved to the property from Edmonton with her husband, Russ, and their two small children. Together, the family drafted a succession plan that would see Maxine and Russ learn the business gradually, with Sharon and Mike on hand to transfer their know-how. The Malmberg family applied to the ALR to have a 0.54 hectare (1.34 acre) section of their property separated from the farm, leaving a 6.26 hectare (15.46 acre) remainder. Sharon and Mike wished to build their retirement home on the small section, so they could stay on their home of 34 years and provide guidance for Maxine and Russ as they take over operating the business. The subdivided parcel is not arable, their application pointed out, consisting of a gullied area that isn’t suitable for irrigated vegetable production. In August, the Regional District of East Kootenay threw its support behind the Malmberg’s application, feeling that it was a prime example of retaining agriculture in the family and community. However, in a meeting of the ALC on November 20, 2012, the Fort Steele Farm application to subdivide was refused. A report of the decision sent to Mike and Sharon on January 2 states: “The Commission believes the regulation provides and opportunity for succession without subdivision.” The letter also points out that the ALR allows for one home with a secondary suite, or a second house as long as it is a manufactured home less than nine metres in length for use by an immediate member of the owner’s family. The ALC did not respond to an interview request by the Townsman before press time. Now, the family is
reeling from a decision that makes it harder to continue farming on the property. “The decision, in its solution, degrades the profession of agriculture,” said Mielnichuk. “We think that this decision not only has ramifications for us personally but the industry as well and points out the fallacy of the ALR.”
Submitted
Sharon Mielnichuk and her husband Mike Malmberg would like to retire from running Fort Steele Farms and hand the successful business to their daughter, but the Agricultural Land Commission won’t agree to a subdivision. After more than 30 years dedicated to the farming profession, the couple is being denied the chance to retire comfortably, the family feels. “The profession of agriculture is a difficult one where an individual makes many sacrifices to keep the business operating and the production of food continuing. Part of the compensation is for the farmer to be able to live their last days in comforts afforded to others. To tell me that I should live in a manufactured home restricts my rights and freedoms and is a slap in the face to someone who has dedicated their life to an honourable profession,” said Mielnichuk. After the ALC notified the Regional District of East Kootenay about its decision on Fort Steele Farm last month, the board of directors decided to send a letter to the Commission explaining why its recent decisions are hurting farmers
throughout the region. Area E Director Jane Walter said that while Fort Steele Farm is a particularly valuable property for the region, the Malmberg family is not alone in their issues with the ALC. “It’s happening everywhere in this area,” said Walter. “What I am finding in this area is older people can’t continue to farm. Their health is preventing them from doing it. But they don’t want to move. They want to stay on their land.” By denying their applications to build a second home, the ALC is not protecting agricultural land, she went on. “When we are fortunate enough to have a young family member wanting to do it, they are saying no. “The ALC cannot force them to farm. So the land is just sitting there not producing anything. “Some of these farms are being sold, but it’s not farmers buying it. It’s people buying it for recreation, so they can run their quads and hunt. They are not ever intending to farm.” It’s a scenario Walter said she has seen over and over again in the East Kootenay: ranchers and farmers who simply can’t make it work. “Originally the ALR was put up to protect farming. I think in the end now, it’s hurting farming,” said Walter. Now, Malmberg and Mielnichuk are faced with a decision: lease or sell the farm to their daughter and build a manufactured home to live in, or sell the property to an outsider and accept that it may not be used for farming by the new owner. “The decision of the ALC forces us to look at other options,” said Mielnichuk. “Those options are more costly and thus put the agricultural operation at greater financial risk.” Russ Sheppard said the ALC is degrading a vital part of Canadian culture. “By denying these types of applications and not providing pro-

the ALC is showing a complete disregard for a major part of Canadian culture,” said Shep-
pard. “To dictate the type and size of dwelling is reprehensible and discriminatory. I
think it throws out 200plus years of culture in an attempt to control land use.”

Grizzlies not just a high elevation species
Anyone who lives in bear habitat — and that can be anywhere that provides natural food sources for bears — should be aware of the basics of bear safety,” C AROLYN GR ANT Kimberley Bulletin
One thing Susan Bond and Peter Moody have come to understand since an encounter with a grizzly sow and her cubs injured them last November, is that they walked into a
situation that had trouble written all over it. Conservation Officer Jared Connatty said it was a triple whammy of circumstances — surprising the bear at very close quarters, presenting a threat to her two cubs and walking near
the carcass of a deer killed by the sow. Wildlife biologist Michael Proctor, who has made the study of grizzlies his career, called it a “perfect storm” of circumstances. Proctor, who lives in Kaslo, has been researching griz-

zly bears in the Kootenays since 1995 and earned a PhD in 2003 from the University of Calgary. He says the bears encountered by Susan and Peter were likely from the Rocky Mountain population, which is at fairly healthy numbers, unlike the grizzly population in the Purcells, which is a bit lower. Given they were on the east side of the highway, they were likely from the Rockies, he said. “Generally, the Columbia Trench is probably a barrier for bears, but that doesn’t mean you won’t see them at lower elevations.” Proctor says that while many people consider grizzlies a high-elevation species, that is not the case. “Bears like low elevations — if no one is there. In parts of the Flathead where there are no humans, they live in lower elevation valleys. Bears are not just a high-elevation species. They use the whole land, bottom to top. Bears have just learned to stay away from human-populated areas in most cases.” There are times of year where grizzlies are more apt to be seen at lower elevations. They come down from the high country in the
Bears like lower elevations if no one is there.

And it is not that uncommon to see them lower down in the fall either, especially if it’s been an uneven berry year. “Normally a female with cubs will den in October, but it’s not that unusual to see them later in the fall, even as late as November 25. There are variations in everything, including the behaviour of bears. “Bears have sex in June but there is a de-
layed implantation. If they don’t gain 20 to 23 per cent body fat over the summer, they absorb the egg. Maybe this year this particular sow didn’t get fat enough. And those two kids would be sucking her dry. “It sounds like a horrible thing, what happened. That’s life in the Kootenays. It’s very rare, but it can happen. I catch bears for a living,

and put radio collars on them. I know they have immense power.” Proctor is pleased to hear that the Conservation Officers and Susan and Peter didn’t want the bears tracked and put down. “I am impressed that the bears were left alive,” he said. “It speaks to tolerance. It’s good to see.” Since the attack, Susan and Peter have wondered if they could have done things differently. “There were certain things we did not do,” Peter said. “We didn’t have bear spray. It wouldn’t have saved Susan from the initial attack, but if I had it, when the bear turned on me, I could have used it.

Conspiracy trial continuing in Kamloops Continued from page 1 During cross-examination, defence lawyer Don Campbell asked Gregor if she knew of any significance of a teardrop tattoo below Shank’s left eye. “That’s them brag-
ging they’ve killed someone?” Campbell asked. Gregor agreed, saying: “It can be taken that way.” Shank is expected to testify he conspired as a
police agent with Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia to murder a Cranbrook drug rival. A Crown prosecutor said in her opening address Wednesday that Shank started talks with
RCMP that led to him signing on to become a police agent after he was returned to jail. He agreed to wear a recording device and take direction from RCMP on his release from jail. Gregor testified that
information given to police before the arrest included that Shank had a criminal record for arson and forcible confinement and was armed with a handgun. When he was arrested Nov. 19, 2009, at a
trailer home in Cranbrook, Gregor said an SKS semi-automatic rifle with a banana magazine was found within arm’s reach of Shank. Police found the gun on the floor, under a
blanket, after they walked into the trailer. Eight Mounties were on the scene to arrest Shank. The trial is scheduled to take three months.
Bears are not just a high-elevation species “Calling out to let bears know you are around is important. Go with a group, a minimum of four people. You’re not hunting, you don’t need to be stealthy, your presence needs to be known.” He also says taking a cell phone along so you can call for help is a good idea, despite the fact that coverage can be spotty at times. In the search for better understanding of the attack, Susan met in late January with Dr. Stephen Herrero, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science at the University of Calgary, and one of the world’s leading authorities on grizzly and black bear ecology, behaviour and attacks. Herrero has conducted scientific research on bear-human interactions for 35 years, and his book Bear Attacks Their Causes and Avoidance is the standard reference on the subject. He has also contributed to the video Staying Safe in Bear Country. “Dr. Herrero told me that anyone who lives in bear habitat – and
that can be anywhere that provides natural food sources for bears – should be aware of the basics of bear safety,” Susan said. “His approach is
“If any good can come out of what happened to us, it would be a heightened sense of bear awareness and bear safety.” Susan Bond based on understanding bear behaviours, which can be fairly predictable depending on circumstances and species. For instance, you have to know whether an attack is defensive or predatory, or if you’re facing a black bear or a grizzly. And he stressed that people need to practice defensive measures until they’re second nature. Otherwise you default to instinct, like I did in trying to run away. “In our case, because we were in what
we think of as our own backyard, we were oblivious to the thought of a grizzly attack,” she said. “When we hike the high country, we are always aware, always carry bear spray, make noise. But so many more people recreate and work in the bush at low elevations than higher up. “So I think the message is, it doesn’t matter where you are — front or backcountry — you must be aware and prepared for a bear encounter.” Susan and Peter discovered that in the days leading up to and immediately after the attack, grizzly tracks were seen by people out walking in the Wycliffe area, a few kilometres southwest of their LD Ranch Road home. “Maybe we need a neighbourhood watch of some sort, a way to let others know if a bear is seen in the settled rural areas, something like Wildlife Aware in town,” Susan said. “If any good can come out of what happened to us, it would be a heightened sense of bear awareness and bear safety.”

Independent MLAs have a dream
I
magine a province where party leaders are chosen in an independently supervised vote, with 12-year-olds, dead people and pets prevented from voting. Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN numbers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address. These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs. Vicki Huntington broke the party chokehold on B.C. politics by getting elected as an independent in Delta South in 2009.
Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after winning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because he dared to criticize then-leader Carole James for a lack of policy specifics. They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. ConservaBC VIEWS tives, and then quit that party soon after. Van Dongen does Tom not have the credibility of the Fletcher others to speak on integrity, given his self-serving party antics and his questionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant. Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making. Simpson gave the example of Prince George MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are un-
known costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest? The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief threeweek legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Pope Benedict stumbled trying to fulfil ambitious agenda R achel Zoll Associated Press
Pope Benedict XVI set clear and ambitious goals for his papacy quickly after he was elected: He hoped to re-evangelize the increasingly secular West. He would show that religious faith and reason could co-exist in the modern world. He would reach out to traditionalists who had split from the church and shore up Catholic identity. He came into the papacy with the reputation of a brilliant theologian; nearly eight years later, he leaves the Holy See with that reputation intact. But because of burdens he inherited and ongoing problems in his own pontificate, Benedict fell short of the mark he set for himself on unifying the church, building relationships with other religions and restoring the church’s influence in broader society. A look at some aspects of his legacy: CHRISTIAN HERITAGE: Benedict dedicated his pontificate to stemming the spread of secularism, especially in Europe, where church attendance has dwindled. He condemned same-sex marriage, argued that gender had become something chosen instead of given from God, and said lack of belief was dangerous, pointing to violence that resulted when past atheist governments “tried to stamp out the light of God to instead turn on illusory and misleading glows.’’ Yet even as he made his arguments, acceptance of same-sex relationships grew throughout Europe and the United States. RESTORING TRADITION: Benedict wanted to restore Catholic traditions largely abandoned during the modernizing changes of the Second Vatican Council. The pope relaxed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass. He streamlined the process for traditional Anglicans who, objecting to ordaining women and gays in their own church, wanted to become Catholic. He even donned pontifical hats and other clothing that hadn’t been worn in decades. Many younger Catholics responded to his emphasis on orthodoxy and a stronger sense of Catholic identity. But many others were alienated. In the United States alone, studies have found Catholics dropping out of the church in large numbers. VATICAN SCANDALS: Some major scandals shook the Vatican during Benedict’s pontificate. In 2010, the Holy See’s top two banking officials came under scrutiny in a money-laundering inquiry that resulted in millions of euros being seized from a Vatican bank account. The pope hired a
Swiss expert a few months ago to help upgrade safeguards against wrongdoing, but problems remained. Meanwhile, the pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, was sentenced to prison after stealing the pope’s personal correspondence and leaking the documents to a journalist. Gabriele said he thought the pope wasn’t being informed of the “evil and corruption’’ in the Vatican. Benedict later pardoned him. PAPAL GAFFES: Benedict was a star on Twitter and his books were popular far beyond the Catholic Church. But his pontificate was marred by ongoing communication blunders. Benedict riled the Muslim world with a speech in Regensburg, Germany in September 2006 in which he quoted a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as “evil and inhuman,’’ particularly “his command to spread by the sword the faith.’’ In 2009, the pope enraged the United Nations and several European governments when, en route to Africa, he told reporters that using condoms “increases the problem’’ of AIDS. Last year, a Vatican-ordered reform of American nuns prompted widespread condemnation of church leaders and a dramatic outpouring of support for religious sisters. The overhaul order came after bishops accused American nuns of promoting “certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith.’’ Last June, the pope hired Fox News Channel’s former Rome correspondent to help advise Vatican officials on how they should shape their message. SEX ABUSE SCANDAL: Benedict became the first pope to meet with victims of clergy sex abuse. In 2010, he issued an unprecedented apology to Ireland for chronic abuse, appealing to any remaining guilty clergy to “submit yourselves to the demands of justice.’’ In another dramatic move, he ordered a full-scale reform of the Legionaries of Christ, a conservative religious order that Pope John Paul II had championed whose founder for years sexually abused seminarians and fathered at least three children. However, Benedict didn’t discipline church leaders who kept guilty priests in ministry or hid claims from parents and police. “His method was to translate crimes into sins, and sins can be forgiven, sins of the cardinals and bishops,’’ said author Jason Berry, who has written extensively on the crisis, including the book “Render Unto Rome.’’ CATHOLIC-JEWISH RELATIONS: Benedict’s first official
Pope Benedict XVI
For aging leaders, lifetime jobs aren’t always for life M a r i lyn n M a r c h i o n e Associated Press
The world seems surprised that an 85-year-old globe-trotting pope who just started tweeting wants to resign, but should it be? Maybe what should be surprising is that more leaders his age do not, considering the toll aging takes on bodies and minds amid a culture of constant communication and change. There may be more behind the story of why Pope Benedict XVI decided to leave a job normally held for life. But the pontiff made it about age. He said the job called for “both strength of mind and body’’ and said his was deteriorating. He spoke of “today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes,’’ implying a difficulty keeping up. “Usually a man who is entirely healthy in his early 80s has demonstrated his survival prowess’’ and can live much longer, said Dr. Thomas Perls, an expert on aging at Boston University and director of the New England Centenarians Study. The pope’s
comments about strength of mind “does make one worry that he is concerned about his mind,’’ Perls said. But aging alone is reason enough. It has driven many from jobs that used to be for life — Supreme Court justices, monarchs and other heads of state. As lifetimes expand, the woes of old age are catching up with more in seats of power. Some are choosing to step down rather than suffer long, public declines and disabilities as the pope’s last predecessor did. Since 1955, only one U.S. Supreme Court justice — Chief Justice William Rehnquist — has died in office. Twenty-one others chose to retire. One in 5 U.S. senators is 70 or older, and some have retired rather than seek new terms, such as Hawaii’s Daniel Akaka, who left office in January at age 88. The Netherlands’ Queen Beatrix, who just turned 75, recently said she will pass the crown to a son and put the country “in the hands of a new generation.’’
act as pope was a letter to Rome’s Jewish community. In his 2011 book, “Jesus of Nazareth,’’ he made a sweeping exoneration of the Jewish people for the death of Christ, explaining biblically and theologically why there was no basis in Scripture for the argument that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible for Jesus’ death. However, he also angered Jews on a number of fronts. Jewish leaders harshly criticized Benedict when he removed the excommunication
of a traditionalist British bishop who had denied the Holocaust. Jews were also incensed at Benedict’s constant promotion toward sainthood of Pope Pius XII, the World War II-era pope accused by some of having failed to sufficiently denounce the Holocaust. “There were bumps in the road during this papacy,’’ said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. “But he listened to our concerns and tried to address them.’’

Great movies for Valentine’s Day
Couples celebrate Valentine’s Day in a variety of ways.
Some may jet off to a romantic locale while others might enjoy a night out on the town at a nearby restaurant. Some couples feel it’s more romantic to stay in for Valentine’s Day, preferring some quality time together as they enjoy a good meal and a favorite film in the comforts of home. Those who want a romantic movie to set the mood might want to consider the following options. * “Somewhere in Time” (1980): Starring Christopher Reeve, this drama surrounds a Chicago playwright who meets an old woman on the opening night of one of his plays. The woman presses a gold pocket watch into his hand before begging the young playwright to return to her. Years later, the playwright is staying at a hotel and becomes taken with a young woman in a photograph, only to learn that the young woman is the same mysterious older woman who visited on opening night all those years ago. * “West Side Story” (1961): One of Hollywood’s many tales of forbidden love, this classic won Best Picture after being adapted for the big screen. The score alone is enough for film afficionados, but those who also want a story won’t be disappointed by this musical tale of two youngsters who fall in love despite being from rival New York City gangs. * “The
Philadelphia
Story” (1940): Featuring screen legends Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart, the movie focuses on the complications that arise as a socialite prepares to marry. Cary Grant plays the ex-husband of Hepburn, who must deal with the simultaneous arrival of both Grant and Stewart, a journalist who arrives to get the scoop on her pending nuptials. Stewart earned an Oscar for his performance in the film, which is also credited for helping to revive Hepburn’s career after a series of box office flops.
* “The Princess Bride” (1987): Couples who prefer a love story as told through a fairy tale might want to consider this Rob Reiner-directed film starring Cary Elwes as a farm boy who falls in love with Buttercup, the beautiful daugh-
pressure-packed African encounter during World War II. The two ex-lovers still harbor feelings for one another, though Bergman’s Ilsa has moved on and married a resistance leader who needs the help of Bogart’s Rick to escape Nazi forces hot * “Casablanca” (1942): on his trail. The film Perhaps no film is features many classic more synonymous moments. with romance than this classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers who reupdo with includes cut style/ connect one night in a n eyelash applicatio
ter of his employer. An ensemble cast that memorably includes Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and pro wrestler Andre the Giant contributes to this hilarious classic that follows the farm boy’s heroic efforts to be with the woman he loves.

* Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic
priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. * The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. * All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. * In Medieval times, girls consumed unusual foods on Valentine’s Day in the belief it would make them dream of their future husbands.

Avs wrap up season, men earn berth into provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The College of the Rockies Avalanche teams ended their season on a sour note, as both the men and women fell in all four matches of their final road trip to the Lower Mainland. The ladies were swept by the Columbia Bible College Bearcats in their opening match on Thursday evening, though they put up a good fight in the rematch the following day, forcing a tie breaking set when both teams traded a pair of sets. The Avs then ran into the Pacwest’s top-ranked team on the weekend, as they challenged the University of the Fraser Valley and got blanked in both matches.

The men fared slightly better, taking away a set in the opening 3-1 loss to the Bearcats. The Avs pulled ahead in the rematch, however, the Bearcats were able to force a tie breaking set, and came out on top with a 3-2 victory the following day. The Avs then ran into the UFV Cascades and were blanked 3-0 in both matches. The men clinched fifth place in the league, giving them a berth in the provincial tournament, which the College of the Rockies is hosting in two weeks. The ladies had a tough season and weren’t able to qualify, as they finished in seventh place, but needed to place sixth or higher.

Even with two home wins, Kootenay fails to move up the standings after road loss to Tigers TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kimberley Golf Club Kimberley Centennial Centre • 7pm 100 - 4th Avenue, Kimberley
The meeting agenda will be conducted in accordance with the club’s bylaws. An Election of Directors will be held, any Member interested in being nominated for these positions should contact Jan Boyachek at 250-427-4337.
Normally, two wins out of three games over a weekend isn’t such a bad thing, however, the third game was the one the Kootenay Ice really needed to take away. A solid home effort by the Ice produced a 4-1 win over the Spokane Chiefs and a 4-0 shutout of the Moose Jaw Warriors, but the Tigers edged out a 3-2 win in Medicine Hat to keep a grip on the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. “Lots of people have mentioned the standings, but really, within our group, everyday needs to be a day where we’re improving and
preparing for each game we have,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel. “So we prepared the same as we had prepared for other games.” Trevor Cox broke a 1-1 tie with a pair of goals in the third period to give the Tigers the lead and some insurance. Jaedon Descheneau scored in the final minute with an extra attacker to make it 3-2, but an Ice comeback fell short. Kootenay initially had the lead when Brock Montgomery scored in the opening period, but Curtis Valk drew both sides even in the middle frame. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 20

saves, while Cam Lanigan turned away 27 shots for the Tigers. Sunday’s game was the third in as many nights for the Ice, and while it’s important to stay on top of the physical wear and tear, the mental side of the game needs attention as well, said Kletzel. “I think its definitely a challenge when you have three games in three nights and I think the biggest challenge is mentally and making sure you’re ready to do what’s expected of you as a player, as an individual, and then as a team,” said Kletzel. “I think as a group, we struggled a little bit with that in different
times in games and, at other times, we displayed that we could do that, but it wasn’t as consistent as our two efforts the night before.” In all four meetings between the Ice and the Tigers, the home team has taken the win— each side sitting with a pair of victories. The road has been tough for the Ice this season, with a 9-16-1 record while home ice has been friendlier with a record of 17-12-1. Before hitting the road on Sunday, the Ice bested the Chiefs and the Warriors at Western Financial Place on Friday and Saturday. In six periods of play, Skapski only allowed
one goal by Mitch Holmberg of the Chiefs in the second frame of Friday’s matchup. “I felt comfortable, I felt in the groove,” said Skapski, after the game against Spokane. “I was a little unhappy with some of my rebounds— that’s a minor adjustment I can make—but for the most part, I felt smooth out there.” His shutout streak ran 116:58 consecutive minutes over the course of the weekend, after Spokane’s goal, throughout the Warrior’s game and into the contest against the Tigers.

Sports Blue Jays players, coaches Nitros have tough weekend with a pair of losses assemble for spring training bons, in his second stint at the Jays’ helm, looked to balance optimism and realism. “I’m new coming back so there’s excitement there for myself. But the talent Alex (GM Alex Anthopoulos) has assembled speaks for itself. Now we’ve got to go out and play good baseball. You’ve still got to win a lot of ball games. “But there’s times you come in and you think ‘Well if everything goes right, we’ve got a shot at this.’ But legitimately maybe you don’t. But now we feel we’ve got one of the better teams in baseball. But until you go out and do something on the field, that only takes you so far. But it does create that buzz and that atmosphere and the expectations. But that’s what you want in this business.” Seven buts, for those counting. Still the manager was clearly enjoying the moment Monday, renewing acquaintances or shaking hands with new friends. “This place was a spe-
cial place to me in my first go-round,” said Gibbons, who was in charge from 2004 to 2008. “So to be coming back makes it a little easier to settle in. I’m enjoying it.” Looking for Gibson was like playing Whac-aMole. He was popping up everywhere, always with a smile. One moment, he was behind the outfield fence, peering through mesh at Romero throwing off a practice mound. Then he was kibitzing with one of his coaches or keeping an eye on a player tossing the ball in the outfield. Bautista was all business, yelling “Hey we haven’t even officially started yet. Jeez. Tomorrow,” as he passed a media scrum around pitcher Drew Hutchison on his way to the field. The Jays slugger bypassed the media on his way back to the clubhouse, saying he had to complete his workout. Later, he sent a message via a club official that he was running late and wouldn’t be speaking to the media.
Ice extend streak to ten home wins Continued from page 10 Sam Reinhart’s 16game point streak ended at the end of the Chiefs game, as the first line of Reinhart, Deschenau and Collin Shirley were shut down by Spokane. However, the second line and third lines became the story of the night, supplying the offence that lifted Kootenay over the the Chiefs. Jon Martin opened the scoring in the first period, and Levi Cable doubled the lead three minutes later for a twogoal lead after 20 minutes. Holmberg responded with a powerplay marker in the following frame, but Luke Philp and Austin Vetterl answered back with goals in the third period for the Ice. The third line of Vetterl, Martin and Zach McPhee proved that the team can get scoring from anywhere in the lineup. Vetterl and Martin had a goal each, the former collecting an assist
as well, while McPhee ended the night with two helpers. “It feels good, knowing that we haven’t been doing so well offensively, so it’s good to get going and help the team out.” said Vetterl. “Yea, it was kinda nice,” echoed McPhee. “Usually we go out and crash and bang and try to create energy for guys, but tonight we got a couple goals, so it was a pretty good feeling for us, for sure.” Vetterl’s goal chased Spokane’s starter Eric Williams from the net and Garret Hughson came in for relief in the final ten minutes of the game. Skapski earned his fifth career shutout on Saturday night in a 4-0 decision over the Moose Jaw Warriors. Kootenay built on an early lead from Shirley in the opening frame, while Jagger Dirk, Reinhart and Cable added goals over the following two periods. “We played extreme-

The Kimberley Dynamiters had a pair of losses over the weekend, dropping a 4-0 decision to the Golden Rockets, and falling short of a comeback in a 4-3 loss to the Kelowna Chiefs. The Nitros have locked up third place in the Eddie Mountain Division and have one more regular season game next Sunday before the KIJHL playoffs begin. Kimberley’s first round opponent is still unclear as the Ghostriders and the Rockets have three games remaining, and though Fernie is in first and ahead by two points, Golden can pull ahead if given a chance. The Rockets continued to push the ‘Riders for first place on Friday, collecting two points in a 4-0 shutout
of the Dynamiters in Golden. Bobby Kashuba and Connor Beauchemin opened the scoring in the first period, while Shane Rutherford and Keith Wake added two more goals in the middle frame.
but the Nitros made a game of it, scoring a trio of markers in the final period, however, a solo effort from Kyle Klerke completed his hat trick and gave Kelowna the edge. Klerke opened the scoring in the first period and Jordan Salahor added a goal after the first 20 minutes. Klerke found the back of the net again in the middle frame as his team held the Nitros off the scoreboard. Connor Kutzner finally lit the goal lamp after the halfway mark of the final period, and Taylor McDowell followed up with another Nitro goal with 4:30 to go. However, Klerke completed his hat trick to restore a two-goal lead, which prevented the game from going into overtime as Jared Marchi responded soon after with 91 seconds remaining on the clock.
The two teams held each other scoreless in the final period. Matthew Mitchell stood in net for the Dynamiters, turning away 34 shots, while Rockets netminder James Leonard made 17 saves for the shutout. The Chiefs built up a three-goal lead going into the final period,

Forwards are doing a good job coming back, picking up guys on the back check, defencemen had good sticks, good gaps so they couldn’t make any fancy one-on-one plays on us,” said Dirk, who picked up his third goal of the season. Shirley and Reinhart got the first line back on the board after being shut out against the Chiefs, while Descheneau collected two assists.
“It’s been a few games since I’ve been in this position,” said Shirley. “I guess it’s just the hard work has paid off and, obviously, playing with Sam and Descheneau helps a lot. Just take pucks wide and throw them on net and good things happen.” Kootenay puts its 10game home win streak on the line this Wednesday when the visiting Victoria Royals come to town.

DUNEDIN, Fla. - The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight” blared from the press box Monday as Jose Bautista cracked balls from the batting cage at the Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. The morning sun beat down on this sleepy slice of Florida while Bautista swung to Billy Corgan singing “Believe, believe in me, believe. That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain. We’re not the same, we’re different tonight. Tonight, so bright.” Pitchers and catchers don’t report until Tuesday but hopes are already sky high around the big-spending Blue Jays (73-89 last season, fourth in the AL East) in the wake of acquiring R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera, Maicer Izturis and Emilio Bonifacio. “We were, I think, hopefully optimistic last year. But I think this year we expect to win, that’s the difference,” said
Brandon Morrow. “If everybody plays to their abilities, to their expectations, I think we’re going to have a great year,” he added. “This team is built to win and that’s all I’ve ever wanted. Just to get a chance to win,” added fellow pitcher Ricky Romero. But then he sounded what could be a familiar note of caution this spring training, “On paper, we’re a great team ... (but) it doesn’t matter what kind of team you have on paper, you’ve still got to go out there and play. If anything, the target’s grown a little bit on us. Obviously teams are going to want to beat us and they’re going to see what we’re all about. We’ve got to come with it and prove that we belong in that elite company. “But as of now we really haven’t done anything, other than make the moves, yeah. But other than that, we’ve still got to go out there and play.” Manager John Gib-

ARIES (March 20-April 19) You might feel a bit off in the morning. Postpone key discussions, as others seem unwilling to move forward or change their ideas. Tomorrow is another day. The best use of your time is to choose what you can do by yourself. Tonight: Join a friend. Have some fun together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the daylight hours to the max. At this point in time, you will get people to stand behind you and your ideas, and if you move quickly, you just might get the OK on a key project. If not, you’ll have to wait until the end of the week. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Claim your power, but understand that you might encounter some backlash. Do you really care? Move forward with a project that has been sitting on the back burner. Tomorrow is another day, when others might be more flexible. Tonight: Do only what you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to a friend at a distance. The conversation you have will be quite enlightening. Your creativity might be falling flat. Try to brainstorm with friends for solutions. A child or loved one could be overserious. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your romantic side emerges, and you might wonder how best to communicate your feelings. You come from a place of security, yet you question your ability to get past someone’s stern demeanor. If you hit a roadblock, try to get a new perspective. Tonight: Near music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others want to understand your position. You might not be very clear, so be sure to share more openly. Avoid being too serious, or you could end up creating distance between you and someone you care a lot about. Tonight: Check your budget before making a purchase. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Dive right in, and get as much

done as possible. Allow greater give-and-take in the process of resolving a personal problem. You have a way of telling someone to drop dead without that person even realizing it until hours later. Tonight: Let the party begin at your place. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Focus on meetings and get-togethers with others. Fatigue could be an issue. Slow down a little, take a cat nap and eat well. You will become re-energized quite quickly that way. Try not to be so serious with a loved one. Tonight: Take the dog for a walk --you need a little exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 21) Your sluggishness will pass quickly. How you respond to that slow energy says a lot about you. A discussion allows more openness between you and a loved one. This exchange will encourage you to make a couple of confidential calls and do research. Tonight: Strut your stuff! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Initiate conversations and schedule meetings. You might need to revise your plans once you hear
certain news. A meeting might take on a very serious tone. Find out what is going on beyond someone’s grim expression. Talking helps. Tonight: Get some fresh air. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Have you overcommitted yourself? Deal with this issue as soon as you can. You know what is happening in day-to-day matters. Detach, and gain a better perspective. A boss seems reticent to have a conversation. Don’t read more into this than is there. Tonight: Out and about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) News coming in from a distance could set you back. You might not have the whole story yet. Be willing to get to the bottom of what is happening. Not knowing could make you edgy, unless you assume a positive stance. A meeting keeps you on track! Tonight: Do some shopping. BORN TODAY Former U.S. president Abraham Lincoln (1809), originator of the biological theory of evolution Charles Darwin (1809), author Judy Blume (1938)

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Twenty years ago, my wife had an affair with a co-worker. It ended when he moved back to his home state 2,000 miles away. At the time, I asked my wife to go to counseling with me. We made it to one session before she pronounced our marriage “healed.” Sixteen months ago, out of the blue, this same guy contacted my wife via email, and they began communicating. I discovered they were planning to meet in Las Vegas. I begged her not to go, but she was convinced she loved him and had to know if they should be together. The month before her trip, I endured more pain than I’ve ever experienced. I set up counseling sessions for us with separate therapists, arranged a meeting with our pastor and lost 20 pounds from the stress. In the end, this creep flaked out on their Vegas rendezvous, probably because he couldn’t see himself leaving his children for her. She also was reluctant to leave our kids. However, the breakup crushed her, and she initially refused to work on our marriage. Finally, we went to a joint counseling session, but when the therapist made reference to her “profound betrayal,” that was that. My wife refuses to rehash what happened. I’m worried that the only reason she is recommitting to our marriage is because the other man gave up on her. Things just don’t feel the same. She insists she’s done with this guy, but who really knows? Is it possible to move forward without dealing with the past? -- Torn Up in California Dear Torn: Maybe, but not if your wife is using your marriage as her rebound relationship in order to soothe her heartbreak. That’s a temporary commitment. Refusing to examine the reasons behind her vulnerability to the affair leaves open the possibility of repeating the betrayal -- and this is undoubtedly what most worries you. You cannot force your wife to work on this, so please get counseling for yourself, on your own. You need to learn what you can live with. Dear Annie: Nobody ever addresses how someone’s death affects the animals left behind. Dogs especially look forward to the return of their “master” each day with great anticipation. When my husband is away on vacation, our dogs wait at the door for hours and go through the same ritual each day until he returns. When a loved one dies, the pet has no comprehension that this person is not coming back. When one of our dogs has passed on, we always lovingly place them in an open box where the remaining animal can be alone with the deceased for at least a halfhour. That seems to help them understand and reach closure of some kind. Why can’t we bring the animal to the funeral home or other appropriate setting and let the animal be with their friend one last time? It’s the least we can do for our animal friends who give us unconditional love and companionship without asking for anything in return. -- Rocky Mount, Va. Dear Va.: Some funeral homes allow dogs as “comfort animals” for the bereaved. It is likely they would also permit an animal to attend a viewing before the service. It is certainly not an unreasonable request. Dear Annie: “Don’t Want a Contest” feels his fiancee’s 13-year-old son is jealous. Please tell him to back off. It is normal for a single mom and her son to have this sort of closeness, and the boy will grow out of it. My husband accepted my close relationship with my only child. My son would also sit in between us and want to snuggle in bed, but he came to accept my husband without resentment. My son died at age 15 from cancer. I never would have forgiven myself or my husband if I had missed out on one hug. -- Understanding Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Can you hear the students sing?
Le MisĂŠrables comes to the McKim Theatre stage this week, Wednesday through Saturday C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Selkirk Secondary and McKim Middle School students have been rehearsing almost since school began last September, working their way through one of the most beautiful, and difficult, scores in musical theatre. They are now ready to show the results of their hard work to the community, as Les MisĂŠrables opens tomorrow evening. It is an ambitious project that musical director Sven Heyde and stage director Bob McCue have undertaken, but they appear to have their youthful cast ready for opening night. In addition to a talented student cast, a full orchestra of local musicians has been assembled to provide live accompaniment. The show runs from February 13-16 at 7:30pm at McKim Theatre with an extra matinee on Saturday, February 16 at 2:00pm. Tickets are available at McKim Middle School office in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook.
Musical director Sven Heyde runs the students through vocal warmups before rehearsal.
The cast is made of up students from McKim, left, and Selkirk, right.
A dedicated team of volunteers have worked on costumes for the production.
Behind the orchestra is Gustav Hagland who sings the lead role of Jean Valjean.
