‘Want him crippled or killed’? Gang enforcer describes negotiating hit on East Kootenay drug rival in Kamloops court
CAM FORTEMS Kamloops Daily News
Lifelong criminal Garry Shank described being given an AK-47 rifle and instructions to kill a drug rival in Cranbrook as payback for a shooting in 2009. Shank was testifying last week for a second day in B.C.
Supreme Court in Kamloops, in the murder conspiracy trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia. He told the court he was picked up in Calgary by Correia and Chad Munro, who had been recently shot by a rival in the East Kootenay drug trade.
While on the road, Correia contacted Carry in Cranbrook, telling him he was bringing “two rabid dogs from Calgary,” Shank said. “It was basically retribution. One of his [Correia’s friend] had just been shot. It was escalating. Cranbrook was their town.”
Shank later signed on as a police agent and wore a recording device. But in his testimony Wednesday he described being on the run from police before that time, negotiating with Correia and Carry about the hit on a rival. “I asked if they were look-
ing to have him crippled or killed — whether they wanted me to spray his legs and cripple him or cut him in half,” Shank said in questioning by Crown lawyer Ann Katrine Saettler. Shank said he wanted $5,000 to cripple Doug Mahon; $10,000 to kill him.

The Key City Theatre in Cranbrook was ground zero for V-Day, Friday, Feb. 15, which included a production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues.” Directed by the Tanya Laing Gahr, the cast also included Susan Hanson, Elizabeth Anne Adler, Anna Natanik, Danielle Nicholson, Andrea Muise Grossman, Carol Atherton, Candice Bridge, Shereen Samuels, Jocelyn Laing, Alexa Laing Moore, Shirley Green, Bonnie Harvey, Aislyn Standing, Michelle McCue and Jennifer Sterling Pierre.
A local high school student has taken her science project all the way to the international fair in Taiwan, and returned home with a fourth place finish. After wowing judges in Canada, Grade 12 Mount Baker student Keltie Murdoch took her environmental engineering project Geo Air to the Taiwan International Science Fair from January 29 to February 5. She placed fourth in the engineering category against students in grades nine to twelve from Taiwan, Mexico and Switzerland. “Winning an award this year was a complete surprise. I was surrounded by so many high-level projects that I didn’t expect to rank,” Keltie told the Townsman after returning to Cranbrook. “I found that the judges in my category seemed to like projects that examined local issues and looked at ways of solving them. While my project was simple, it was proven to effectively reduce a local issue.” Keltie was accompanied to the fair by her mentor, College of the Rockies instructor Sandi Lavery.

Canada’s Alt-Country maestro will be making his way west, with stops in Cranbrook and Trail, later this spring. Corb Lund is described by music critics, as Americana, traditional country artist, alternative country artist, singer-songwriter and country- rock artist. Surprisingly, they all fit, and so do the titles of some of his most popular songs. Songs like, The Truck Got Stuck, Bible on the Dash, Devil’s Best Dress, I Wanna be in the Cavalry, Roughest Neck Around, Five Dollar Bill and many more. Born and raised in Southern Alberta, Corb Lund grew up on his family’s farm and ranch.
Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans will be playing Cranbrook in May. After high school, he moved out of the farmland and into the city to

study jazz guitar and bass in Edmonton. It was there he started a punk-metal band with some friends, called The Smalls. It was a far cry from the kind of music for which Lund is known for now, but The Smalls enjoyed over a decade of prominence selling over 35,000 records in Canada. When that group finally disbanded, Lund set off on his own to pursue a decidedly different style of music. He gathered together a group of fellow Albertans to round out his traditional country and western sound, and
named the group, The Hurtin’ Albertans. Since then, they have toured extensively, and have released a total of 7 albums. In 2009, the group inked a contract with New West Records, earning them a greater amount of attention and wider distribution. This proved to be excellent timing for the singer-songwriter’s budding career, as it was quickly followed by Lund winning the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year Award nomination in 2010. The honor of being recognized as a nominee by the AMA
went along nicely with Lund’s numerous Juno and Canadian Country Music Awards nominations. He won a Juno for Roots Traditional Album of the Year in 2006, and the Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year in 2008. Corb Lund’s latest album,” Cabin Fever”, released in August of 2012, has been highly acclaimed, and features songs like, Cows Around, Gettin” Down the Mountain, Pour Em’ Kinda Strong, and 9 more tracks which will only add to the honor of being labelled “one of Canada’s most prestigious Country singers, and one of Alberta’s finest exports”. Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans ‘Cabin Fever” takes over Trail’s Charles Bailey Theatre on May 16th, and Cranbrooks Key City Theatre on May 17th. Showtimes are 7;30 p.m. and tickets for the event go on sale on Friday March 1st at the Charles Bailey Box office or by calling 1-866368-9669. In Cranbrook, tickets will be available at the Key City Theatre Box office Friday, Feb 22, or by calling 250-426-7006.. All seats are reserved and priced at $45 all inclusive.

Judges, students impressed by geo heating design Continued from page 1 “I am very proud of Keltie in her fourth place finish in the engineering category at the Taiwan International Science Fair. I am also extremely proud of her for being such an incredible ambassador for Canada, and Cranbrook, B.C,” said Sandi. Keltie’s project, Geo Air, is an innovative form of geothermal heating for the home. It uses air blown into buried tubing, pushed through a heat pump that is housed in a chamber outside the building, then piped into the home’s existing heating system. The air is warmed once when it passes underground, and another time in the heat pump. In summer, the heat pump pushes cool air into the home, and expels warm air. Using Keltie’s design, homeowners could see as much as a one third reduction in their heating bill. “Most of the Taiwanese students and judges were fascinated by how cold it gets in Canada, and how efficient the summer air-conditioning part of my project was. They asked a lot of questions about high volume air conditioning for the summer, as it gets very hot on the island and most buildings are several stories tall. I had many extra judges stop at my project not to judge, but to chat and ask me questions,” said Keltie. Now back at Mount Baker Secondary finishing up Grade 12, Keltie is hoping to be accept into the University of British Columbia’s School of Engineering. “I am very confident that we will hear more of Keltie’s innovative and creative engineering in the future,” said Sandi. During their visit to Taipei, Keltie and Fort St. John student Kevala Van Volkenburg were billeted with Taiwanese families. As well as schooling Keltie on local food, the host family took her to the Taipei 101 skyscraper, Mengjia Longshan Temple and several

“Most of the Taiwanese students and judges were fascinated by how cold it gets in Canada... I had many extra judges stop at my project not to judge, but to chat and ask me questions” Keltie Murdoch night markets. “The highlight for me was trying all the new foods in Taiwan, which are nothing like the foods in Canada. I made it a goal to try everything I was offered, and they fed me very well,” said Keltie. Students from 21 countries attended the International Science Fair, including Germany, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, the Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Switzerland, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey. “I tried my best to meet each one, which resulted in great friendships and connections from all over the globe,” said Keltie.

Sandi made some valuable connections as well at the fair and gave a presentation on rural science fairs in Canada. “It was very interesting to hear that the challenges we face in inquiry-based science and math at our rural area are very similar to all countries that participated in the fair,” said Sandi. “I too have many new educator friends around the world who are passionate about having our youth become more engaged in their communities in researching and solving local and global issues around science and math.”

Nod of honour for local refugee advocate Barb Ryeburn, a founder of East Kootenay Friends of Burma, is nominated for the national Paul Yuzyk Award for Multiculturalism Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A dedicated Cranbrook volunteer has been nominated for a prestigious national award. Barb Ryeburn, a founding member for East Kootenay Friends of Burma, has been nominated for the Paul Yuzyk Award for Multiculturalism. “It’s quite an honour,” said Ryeburn. “I don’t think it’s just for me, I think it’s for everyone. “Ever since I’ve lived here I’ve been blown away by how many people want to get involved.” The nomination was put forward by Ryeburn’s partners in Friends of Burma, which works to sponsor refu-
gees from the world’s most troubled locations to escape to Canada. “She volunteers thousands of hours every year to settle refugees into the community,” said Friends of Burma’s Shauna Jiminez. “She has taken refugees into her home, she has spent thousands of volunteer hours referring them to services, taking them to services, advocating for services, and putting those services in place. It often involves hours of paperwork, hours on the phone, hours of driving, all out of her own expense money and all as a volunteer.” Since starting Friends of Burma in 1997, Ryeburn has helped close to 40 refu-

gees come to Canada. Some have lived with Ryeburn, her husband Kim Eaton, and three children Maya, 22, Lukas, 19, and Simon, 17. “My kids grew up with people from Ghana and India and Indonesia. I thought that was a great experience for them,” said Ryeburn. As well as her work with Friends of Burma, Ryeburn was the local coordinator for Canadian Crossroads International from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. In that role, Ryeburn helps East Kootenay residents prepare for volunteer placements in Ghana, Nepal, Indonesia and the Ivory Coast. She arranged visits to Canada for participants from India, Indonesia, Ghana and Suriname. As well as working as a student services teacher at TM Roberts Ecole, Barb volunteers between 10 and 20 hours a week for Friends of Burma. “There’s always something, all the little things. It all does add up,” said Ryeburn. Sometimes the workload becomes a lot to handle, but the friendships she has formed with the refugees she has sponsored makes it all worthwhile.

“Sometimes I’m stressed out and I’ll go up to Kimberley and be with the family with a little baby. I wouldn’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. They are lovely people and they add so much to our lives,” said Ryeburn. She also advocates constantly to change people’s perceptions about refugees. “You don’t have a real idea until you meet someone who’s a refugee,” said Ryeburn.
“So many people say, oh, those refugees are taking our jobs, or they are terrorists, or we have to be careful because they are being smuggled in on boats. “But every time you set up a new volunteer and they get to know these people and develop friendships, you see the community’s attitude changing as more and more people hear the stories.” It’s important to realize that refugees are
fleeing life-threatening situations. Welcoming them to Canada is sometimes saving their lives, according to Ryeburn. “We are privileged as Canadians. We do have to battle for things, but we have so many opportunities. When we can try and make that available for people who are in such dire conditions, I can’t think of why you wouldn’t want to do that.” The Paul Yuzyk
Award acknowledges individuals across Canada who have made exceptional contributions to the integration of newcomers. It includes a $20,000 grant to be given to an eligible, registered notfor-profit Canadian organization of the recipient’s choice. Ryeburn said if she were to win the award, she will pledge the grant to Friends of Burma to sponsor more refugees.
Kimberley’s Dirtbag festival is coming CAROLYN GR ANT Kimberley Daily Bulletin
Dirtbag weekend in Kimberley will soon be upon us — an opportunity to view, and hear, the offerings of those who pursue the dirtbag lifestyle. The dirtbag philosophy, says John Haner of the Kimberley Volunteer Ski Patrol (one of the organizations Dirtbag will be raising funds for this year) is to make enough money as you have, then have fun, do what makes you happy.

And the dirtbag spirit is strong in Kimberley, says one of the fest’s organizers, Alison Ko. It just made sense to support local volunteer groups. “The spirit of Kimberley is strong. We get so much support from the community. The ski hill is a huge piece of the community and the ski patrol is so much a part of the ski hill.” “The ski patrol are the guys in the red jackets,” Haner said. “The volunteer ski patrol are the original ski patrollers at he ski hill since back in the 1950s. They have hired people for ski patrol but on weekends, we are the ones you see. “We like to be involved in the community. The dirtbag spirit is part of the ski patrol.” Dirtbag fest will also raise funds for the group hoping to add a whitewater feature to Mark Creek. The Dirtbag Fest
concept has proven popular since its inception, and although it has missed a year here and there, it’s usually a sell out. It’s an opportunity to see what some truly amazing photographers and film-makers have been up to — and a lot of them live right here in Kimberley. It’s a chance to see stories on film, such as the Kimberley family who took a canoe trip from Jasper to Tuktoyaktuk. Or a local man who walked out his front door and hiked — all the way to Rogers Pass. The festival has expanded this year. There will be the hugely popular film and photo night on Saturday, March 9 — an opportunity to see films and also the local slideshow. Organizers say they have been flooded with local entries for the community slideshow. “Local flavour is the
core element of Dirtbag and locals have really stepped up this year,” Haner said. On Friday, March 8 at Centre 64, there will be a celebration of the spoken word at Centre 64. “Dirtbag is about storytellers,” Ko said. “The idea for a spoken word night came from some former Selkirk students who have gone on to pursue creative writing.” Organizers want the second weekend of March to become Dirtbag weekend in Kimberley and hopefully spawn a few more events. “Our hope is to attract a young crowd to Kimberley,” Ko said. “We want people to start thinking the second week of March is Dirtbag, let’s go to Kimberley.” Tickets for Dirtbag are available at Sprout Grocery in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook.

CMRT offers free tours College and Trust host during Heritage Week climate change experts Townsman Staff
During Heritage Week, Feb. 19-23, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel will again be hosting special events such as the release the new community heritage tour maps, new displays and audio-visual and free public tours all week. The Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark Foundation, the legal entity for the Museum, will also hold it’s 37th AGM at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Free School Tours Free school programs involving Railway Travel History start this week and continue. Other free programs will be added over the next few weeks including the Cranbrook History Program and the Restoration Program. The deluxe train school program is 1.5 hours long and are offered Tuesday to Friday in the morning from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on a firstcome first-serve basis. Two new school programs will start later in March and April and offered on the same schedule, with the Cranbrook History Gallery providing the base for the local history program and the new Restoration Audio-Visual and displays held in the interpretive area. This program will show how the museum has restored the cars. Teachers can easily access the trains program with its advance preparation material and booking sheet from the first page of the museum web: www.trainsdeluxe. com. Free Public Tours Free public tours of the trains will be provided all week from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m, although space on the tours is limited to 10 people per tour. The Grand Tour of all of the trains and the Royal Alexandra Hall takes two hours, but is made up of five separate shorter tours through different part of the trains collection. People enter the tours on a rotating schedule depending on space available, but it is recommended to phone ahead to see how the
Submitted
schedule is proceeding. Staff can recommend, but not reserve space, as it is a free service with a limited capacity using staff and volunteers. The “Cranbrook Train” (the 1907 Soo-Spokane Train Deluxe) is one of the tour options with great local importance. New Community Heritage Map The new full-colour Explore Historic Cranbrook community heritage tour maps will also be unveiled during Heritage Week to add a substantial local history component, so school classes, local residents and visitors to Cranbrook can now do their own self-guided tours of the different heritage areas of the city. Copies are free at the Museum with the Cranbrook History Gallery providing a detailed context for this tour if teachers want to start from there, or it can be started from anywhere in the city. The printing of 15,000 copies was made possible by 9 donors who are profiled on the map. Cranbrook Archives and Old Newspapers There is now an online database on the museum website, and the old Cranbrook Newspapers (dating from 1898) are being digitalized on a word-searchable PDF format which is accessi-
ble on a special computer by the public during museum hours. The digitalization has so far been done to about 1933 by volunteer Dave Humphrey. Staff can direct interested people to this resource, with instructions provided at the computer. New Restoration Audio-Visual In late 2012, a new audio-visual was produced that explains how many of the museums deluxe railcars were restored. The presentation also shows the scope of the museum’s restoration since 1977, which involves not only the railcars, but also other major projects . Museum AGM The AGM of the legal entity for the Museum, the Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark (CAMAL) Foundation, will include the presentation of the 2012 Cranbrook Heritage Awards, a look at the recently-completed final five frames in the Cranbrook History Gallery titled “Early Cranbrook Business Movers & Shakers” from the 1904 special Christmas edition of the Cranbrook Herald newspaper. The on-line Archives database system will also be profiled as will the special computer set up at the Museum to access all the old Cranbrook newspapers.
College of the Rockies, in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative (CACCI) is proud to host a presentation by climate change experts Mel Reasoner and Hans Schreier on Tuesday, February 19 at 7pm. This free event will be held in the Lecture Theatre at College of the Rockies’ main campus. Reasoner and Schreier will share the latest information on climate change, its local impacts and how communities like Cranbrook can adapt. This meets the Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative’s aim to transform complex climate change science into meaningful and actionable information for Columbia Basin communities. “Global temperature changes mean we can expect more extreme weather events, receding glaciers and changes to snowpacks, river flows, growing seasons and more,” said Reasoner. “This has important implications for Basin communities.” Indeed, communities around the world are recognizing the need to start planning

t’s tough times in the cruise industry pleasant, as passengers described sleeping these days. While there are literally on deck to avoid the stench below-decks as thousands of cruises that sail from the almost powerless ship’s sewage system port to port incident free each year, a was unable to handle the situation. In fact, CNN had plenty of headlines number of high profile calamities about the smell, but the one that struck me have hurt the industry. Things can go wrong on any vacation as funny was one that read, ‘It doesn’t smell that bad’. — that’s a fact. It’s just unNow wouldn’t that be a fortunate that when they great tag line for a cruise happen on a cruise ship, company — “Happyville they are happening to alCruises — It Doesn’t Smell most 5,000 people at once. That Bad!” And that’s news. Carolyn But speaking of catchy The latest is the story of Grant headlines, I know how diffia particular ship, the Tricult it is to come up with umph, which was disabled by a fire in the engine room a week ago just the right catchphrase to fit the spot. Sunday and spent four days adrift off Mex- Sometimes the right headline just pops ico’s Yucatan coast, breaking one tow cable into your mind, and you feel immensely proud of yourself. before it was finally towed into port. I recall the story of the man who claimed CNN believed it was big news. So big, in fact, that they focused almost all of their to represent a ghost running for mayor of network’s attention on the Triumph’s slow Nelson two years ago. I came up with progress into port on Thursday. Now, ‘Dead Man Running’ and felt I didn’t have watching a giant cruise ship being towed to work for the rest of the day. Nothing else by a tug at a snail’s pace is not really rivet- I did could compare with that. But more often than not, you just can’t ing stuff. Luckily, however, CNN once again proved that they are the best — at find the right words. Or you do find the right words and figure printing them would hyperbole. “Floating Petri Dish towed to shore!” be more trouble than they are worth. I did a column on cheese theft last year the crawl at the bottom of the screen read. Indeed conditions on the ship were not — yes, I know, I’m all over the big issues.
Two headlines immediately popped into my head — ‘Lord T’underin’ Cheeses’ and ‘What a Friend We Have in Cheeses’. I also wrote of the bewildered elk in northern BC who was romancing bovines. My headline of choice was, ‘Don’t Have a Cow, Man’. Did I use any of these? No. Not worth it. I managed to sneak by a ‘Joint Operations’ headline for a combined-detachment drug bust once. My esteemed colleague Barry Coulter has also had his headline ups and downs. He proved to be too cowardly to run his greatest headline ever (in his opinion)— “Venison Vidi Vici” (as in Julius Caesar) for a story on the deer cull. Other glorious puns, like the world has never seen, have been left on the cutting room floor, as they say, mostly out of fear of reprisals. But some he did print include ‘Burg’s Biggest Burger Burgled’ when the Burger King hamburger was stolen; and ‘Trout War Shows No Sign of Abating’. Hee hee. But for the most part, cute headlines bring you nothing but woe. Not everyone thinks you’re as funny as you do. I’m betting the folks at Carnival Cruises don’t think ‘Floating Petri Dish’ is a laugh riot. Carolyn Grant is editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
JGMRM confusion I am writing to clear up what seems to be some confusion over how the new Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality (JGMRM) will participate in regional government. Those of us who will be on council have had informal discussions that will lead to the following protocol: the JGMRM appointee to the RDEK board will attend board meetings only at the express request of the RDEK Chair, and all costs associated with such attendance will be paid by the JGMRM. I had discussions about this protocol with members of the RDEK board before their recent vote not to pay costs. This same protocol will apply to the Regional Hospital Board. It is also worth noting that neither the resort developers nor the Minister favoured participation at the RDEK by the resort municipality in its early stages. Ministry staff advised that the Local Government Act requires that any new municipality have a seat on the regional district board. It is easy to focus on the unusual circumstances of a municipality being created in advance of residents. It would more useful to remember that the primary purpose of this special type of municipality is to ensure that the resort has been carefully designed and prepared for the arrival of those residents and guests, so that such a significant provincial tourism asset is well managed from the start and for the long term. Greg Deck Mayor-Designate, JGMRM
China/Japan clash I enjoy Gwynne Dyer’s columns, and I generally agree with his observations and reasoning. But in the case of the Chinese-Japanese clash over the East China Sea islands (January 29) I think Gwynne has missed the boat. In terms of finding a just solution to the matter I have chosen to look at the history of the 20th century. One needs to go back only 70 years to find arguments for the Japanese not to own the islands (the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, and the subsequent Japanese invasion of several countries). To my knowledge, the terrible atrocities carried out by the Japanese military have never been admitted by Japanese governments, and they have never sought to redress the grievances of those countries they occupied. Indeed, successive prime ministers of Japan have virtually paid homage to their own war dead, including several top military officers who had been found guilty of crimes against humanity. But a particular reason why China should have the islands dates back to the Japanese invasions of China in 1931 and 1937. These invasions were accompanied by mass executions, the deliberate bombing of the civilian population, the torture of citizens, the branding and raping of women. But the crescendo of Japanese brutality reached its height in 1937-38 with “the rape of Nanking.” It has been reported that “340,000 people were murdered and 80,000 women raped” during the course of Japanese occupation. This 14-year war against China took more than 30 million innocents. Surely this is now an opportunity for the Japanese to do what Germany did decades ago: admit to the terrible behaviours of its soldiery. Apologize to the world at large. And make at least a token attempt at re-
dress by withdrawing any claim to the East China Sea islands, thereby avoiding the possible havoc of yet another Sino-Japanese war. For more information, read The Rape of Nanking by James Yin, available in the Kimberley library. Peter Moody Kimberley
Election coming I would like to request that people of this area start to think about the upcoming Provincial election. I ask everybody these questions. Do you want to be led by a leader that has stood up and admitted his past mistakes regardless how long ago they took place. Or would you rather be led by a leader who continues to let her parties lawyers slither through the slime trying to explain how two people had 6 million dollars in legal fees paid by us the taxpayers notwithstanding the fact they were convicted? Would you rather be led by a leader whose party welcomes immigration as long as those people were protected by the valued rights we all enjoy as Canadians. Or would you rather be led by a leader who supports the “ temporary foreign worker “ philosophy which is all about servitude and more dollars for the already rich? Think of hundreds of Canadian miners that should be but are not not currently employed in northern B.C. Think of the conditions that those that are working are under. Is this the kind of Canada or B.C we want? Would you rather be led by a party who built and maintained an effective and economically profitable apprentiship system, or a party that dismantled that system and is now spending 15 million more of your tax dollars trying to convince you the system that now exists is effective? For those answers that make you fell better then I encourage you all to research the various parties positions and decide what kind of B.C you want your children and grand-children to inherit in the future .

Crown land Recreating on Crown land first attracted me, and has joyfully kept me here, for most of a lifetime, in our wonderful Kootenay country. I am not happy that apparently all Crown land that is close to Cranbrook, on the north, west, and south sides is being offered in a potential land settlement. This will give a monopoly, and form a noose around our city as to any future development by anyone except aboriginals. I strongly believe in equality for all, so I am absolutely astounded to hear that the proposed treaty settlement will require a vote of acceptance from aboriginals, but that no corresponding vote will be given to the rest of us! This is not democratic, is not acceptable, and must be changed. My property on the outskirts of Cranbrook, backs on to some of this Crown land where I currently hike, hunt, cut firewood, ride my quad, and hold family campfires. How much of that recreational activity is being secretly negotiated away from me? Voting to change present governments is only going to make things worse, for this undemocratic, secretive, treaty process was set up several years ago by the provincial NDP, and the federal Liberals, and their so called Bill of Rights, that enshrine so many wrongs!

Dogs in distress There are two dogs in Kimberley that are penned up in a small enclosure, walled with tarps. They are also chained and lying in dog feces. They never get exercised. There have been numerous complaints to the SPCA about the situation and yet, nothing is done. I myself have called the SPCA about that ridiculous situation. The first response was — did you know that they just had a baby. I frankly don’t care if they just had a baby, or an elephant for that matter. Those dogs have been deemed vicious by the local animal control officer as the dog previously jumped the fence to go after another dog. These dogs just need attention and exercise. It is our civic duty to ensure they get the home they deserve. Patti Biggs Kimberley
I would like to express my gratitude for the privileged lifestyle I am able to lead in this small part of the world. I hope the citizens of Kimberley recognize this privilege also. We are so used to being able to have ready access for all our outdoor activities in a 360 degree radius, that sometimes we forget to appreciate the efforts of others to contribute to this lifestyle. In particular, I am referring to our local golf courses. Bootleg and Trickle Creek Golf courses need to be recognized for the access privileges allowing us to walk on their paths, slide on their hills, and cross country ski on their fairways. It is also a great privilege to walk our dogs off leash on their property. This typeof access on golf properties is unprecedented with most other areas. Allowing this access is an example of exactly what Kimberley advocates as a reason to visit or live here. Please join me in expressing your gratitude by thanking the staff and showing the greatest respect for their property. Three cheers for Bootleg and Trickle Creek golf courses.
I would like to give recognition to a local business that gave us some outstanding service this past summer. My son and I were touring through southern B.C. on our motorcycles over the August long weekend. In spite of careful pre-trip inspections, his bike developed mechanical problems and we arrived in Cranbrook looking for a knowledgable bike dealer. We ended up doing much better than we hoped for — we met Bill Boswell and staff at Peak Performance. Their expertise and attentiveness to our problem went beyond our expectations. Through their efforts we were able to continue our long-anticipated trip, and our unplanned delay in Cranbrook proved to be a very positive experience. I believe the city of Cranbrook is privileged to have Peak Performance as part of its business community.

Dynamiters ready to open playoffs on the road TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Rockets took a beating in the Kimberley Civic Centre on Sunday night, but Nitro head coach Glenn Burgess doesn’t expect his playoff opponents to roll over so easily when the post-season begins in a few days. A lack of discipline sunk Golden, as the team gave up nine poweplay opportunities, including a five-minute major for a slash delivered after a Nitro goal was scored.
However, Kimberley was just as guilty when it came to occupying the sin bin, Burgess pointed out. “One thing we will have to do, is be disciplined,” said Burgess. “Discipline is huge against these guys, because they have a deadly powerplay.” The Nitros begin their post-season push in
Golden on Thursday and Friday for the first of two games on the road. The two teams travel down to Kimberley for their third game in as many nights for Game Three, with Game Four on Monday evening at the Civic Centre. Nitro captain Connor Kutzner scored once and earned two assists in the final regular-season matchup between the two teams on Sunday. “It feels pretty good,” said Kutzner. “It’s always good to get some confidence going into a playoff series. We knew tonight was going to be a rougher game to set the tone for playoffs, but it was good to go out there, match their intensity and win the game.” Burgess isn’t too concerned with the adversity of starting on the road, but admits the team will miss the home crowd and the larger ice surface in the Civic Centre. “It’s not going to be easy,” said Burgess. “We start up their in their barn, and they’re good in their barn. We got a taste of it though, and that’s what this team needs.”

Dynamiters down Rockets 8-5 TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
It was a playoff preview on Sunday evening as Jason Richter posted a hat trick and led the Nitros to an 8-5 victory over the Golden Rockets for their final regular season game in Kimberley. Tied up at 2-2 after one period, the Nitros added another pair of goals in the middle frame, and lit the goal lamp four times, while the Rockets notched a trio of markers in the final period. Richter had a fivepoint night, adding two assists to his hat trick, while Taylor McDowell also had a big night, with five helpers in the assists column. Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau made 36 saves for the win. “Our guys battled hard enough to beat a good team,” said Nitros head coach Glenn Bur-
gess. “They did what they had to do, and there’s been lots of games where they haven’t done that, so it’s definitely a step forward.” Golden opened the scoring in the first period, when Keith Wake beat a screened Mousseau from the point on a Rocket powerplay. A minute later, the Nitros evened things up when Richter got his first of the evening, taking a feed from Sam Nigg on a odd man rush and beating Rockets’ stopper Cody Boeckman on the backhand. A minute after that, Isaac Schacher put the Nitros in the lead, scooping up a rebound in front of the net after the puck had bounced off the post. However, the Rockets struck back by the time the period ended, with Jacob Bergeron earning the tying goal.
The Nitros doubled up the lead in the second period, with Richter scoring on the powerplay, while Eric Buckley scored his first of two for the night. Black Roney scored early in the third period, but Dynamiter captain Connor Kutzner answered back within a minute to re-establish a two goal lead. “We just kind of started off slow in the third and you could kind of tell that they were going to score a goal,” said Kutzner, “and when they did, our line went out there and just tried to turn the tide. I got the puck in the corner and saw Buckley open in front of the net and I tried to pass it to him, but it went of a guy’s skate and into the net, so it was a lucky bounce, but it got the momentum back in our favour.” That seemed to gal-

Sports Ice split weekend, close within a point of playoff race Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice headed into Brandon looking for a harvest, but only came out with half of what they were looking for over the weekend. The Wheaties broke a third period tie on Friday to win 3-2, however the Ice bounced back the following night when Jon Martin scored the overtime winner to lift Kootenay to a 4-3 OT win. “I think we came out with more jump and more urgency in the second game, as compared to the first game,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel, on the difference between the two meetings. “We had had more guys playing the game we want to play.” Whether it was a hangover from the 16-
hour bus ride or not, the Ice came out a little flat in their opening matchup on Friday, as both teams managed to keep each other scoreless in the first. Brock Montgomery opened the scoring in the middle frame on the powerplay, but Jack Palmer tied it up for Brandon three minutes later. Ryan Pulock, a highly touted defensive prospect in this year’s NHL draft, broke the deadlock late in the frame for his 13th goal of the season. Austin Vetterl tied up the game six minutes into the final period, however, Jayce Hawryluk scored a late powerplay goal to give the Wheat Kings the lead and eventual win. Ice goaltender Mack-
enzie Skapski got the start, making 23 saves in defeat, while rookie goaltender Jordan Papirny got his first career WHL win for the Wheaties. It was a different result the next night, even if Brandon got a brief lead at the start. Pulock made it 1-0 with five minutes to go in the first period, however Montgomery scored his fourth goal in as many games, early in the second to even it up. Jon Martin and Kyle O’Connor both found the back of the net for the Ice by the halfway mark of the frame, but Nick Buonassisi made it a one-goal game by the end of the period. Marek Kalus scored a shorthanded marker in the final frame to tie up the game and send it into
overtime. Martin’s goal, with 1:17 left in the OT period, gave the Ice the first win of their three-game trip into Saskatchewan. Skapski earned the win with 24 saves, while Curtis Honey turned away a barrage of 38 shots for the Wheat Kings. The back-to-back nature of the schedule allowed the Ice coaching staff to make a few changes for Saturday’s game, but it was up to the players to step up to the task, said Kletzel. “Adjustments and that don’t really work unless you have everyone buying in and doing them,” Kletzel said. “That’s the main thing. Any system will work as long as everyone is doing it together as a five-man
unit and they’re committed. And we were more committed on the second night.” The win, coupled with Lethbridge losing to Prince George on Saturday night, puts the Ice one point behind the Hurricanes for the Eastern Conference’s last playoff spot. Kootenay heads into Swift Current for an afternoon meeting with the Broncos on Monday. “You’re aware of it, but I don’t think it’s a focus,” said Kletzel, of the playoff implications. “Your focus is on preparation and your day-today routine and being ready to play. We do a lot of discussion about taking care of your individual play, which leads into taking care of your team play.”
West beats East 143-138 in NBA All-Star game Brian Mahoney Associated Press
HOUSTON - Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant turned this All-Star game into L.A. story. Paul had 20 points, 15 assists and won MVP honours, Bryant blocked LeBron James’ comeback attempt, and the Western Conference beat the East 143-138 on Sunday night. Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Griffin finished with 19, joining his Clippers teammate, Paul, in creating Lob City deep in the heart of Texas. “You just want to play fast. I like to throw the lob. I like to see guys hit 3s,” Paul said. “When we’re out on the court with all that firepower, why wouldn’t you want to make passes? You’ve got KD filling one of the lanes, you’ve got Blake, Kobe on the wing. There’s nothing like it.” James scored 19 points but shot only 7 of 18, Bryant blocking two of his shots late, after
having no shooting troubles during the latter part of the season’s first half. Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds. “I think we played really good defence at the end of the game as a team,” Durant said. “Kobe was really going with the ball. It’s tough to stop LeBron, but he did his best. He was able to block a few of his shots. But CP did a really good job of keeping us in the game.” On Michael Jordan’s 50th birthday, the AllStars threw down plenty of jams reminiscent of MJ’s glory days. The first dunk of the game came 16 seconds in, Paul throwing a pass to Griffin as part of the West’s 7-0 start. The West led after each of the first three quarters, though was never ahead by more than eight points through three periods. They finally pushed it into double figures early in the fourth fu-
eled by former Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but couldn’t put it away until a late run behind the guys from the city of Los Angeles - who along with Lakers centre Dwight Howard gave Los Angeles all but one of the West’s starting spots. Paul hit two 3-pointers, Bryant made a layup, and his block of James led to Durant’s dunk that made it 136126. Griffin had one last forceful dunk to help close it out, throwing a
pass to himself off the backboard and climbing high in his neon green sneakers to slam it home and make it 142-134. Harden had 15 points in his home arena, where the sights of the game were on the floor and the sounds were at the rim - which shook repeatedly after thunderous dunks for most of the game before, as usual, players tried to make some stops down the stretch. Players’ sneakers were a variety of pastels and fluorescent colours that looked like they came right from Easter Sunday church, many clashing so badly with their multi-colored socks that they may as well have been created by spilling out random paint buckets. James and Dwyane Wade wore purple, and Griffin’s neon look was also sported by the usually not-so-loud Tim Duncan and Brook Lopez. But the NBA’s
Winemaking
high-flyers sure could leap in them. Durant slammed one down so hard at one point that he stumbled backward after landing, appearing woozy. He came in as the career leader in points per game with 28.3 and may have won a second straight MVP award if not for Paul’s big finish. The Bryant-James duel down the stretch was a good one between the two players who are most often compared to Jordan. “It was all in good spirit, man. It was just two guys that love to compete, love to go at it. So I had a lot of fun,” James said. Bryant finished with only nine points but had eight assists. Griffin shot 9 of 11 from the field and didn’t miss until trying to violently throw one down from a few feet away from the basket. Indiana’s Paul George scored 17 and Kyrie Irving had 15 for the East.

Milos Raonic wins third straight SAP Open title Josh Dubow Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. Now that the final match has been played at the SAP Open, Canada’s Milos Raonic would like to take the court with him. The Thornhill, Ont., native became the first player in more than a half-century to win this tournament three straight times, beating Tommy Haas 6-4, 6-3 Sunday for the title in the final year of the Bay Area tournament. “I think roll up the court, put it in my bag and hopefully it doesn’t get lost on a flight,” Raonic said. Raonic has never lost in 12 matches in this event and became the first player in the Open era that began in 1968 to win this tournament three straight times and first overall since Tony Trabert did it from 195355. Raonic won the final tournament here in
similar fashion to his first two, using an overpowering serve to control the match. He fired a 144 mph ace on his first serve of the match and was never threatened on serve. He had 19 aces and finished the week facing just a single break point. Raonic wrapped up the match when Haas sent a backhand wide to lose serve for the third time in the match and then went into the players’ box to hug family and friends. Perhaps no one will miss this tournament as much as Raonic. Since coming here for the first time in 2010, he has never lost and has three of his four career titles in San Jose. But he won’t get another as the tournament that dates to 1889 is being moved to Memphis next year after the owners of the two events sold the higher-profile Memphis tournament to a group from Brazil.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Our daughter, “Mattie,” is 42 years old. She has been married for 10 years and has two school-age children. Due to her husband’s work transfers, Mattie twice was left alone with the children for several months while she tried to sell the house and her husband moved to the new location. The first time it happened, things worked out OK, but the second time, Mattie started drinking quite heavily. We didn’t find out until she had seizures, lost a lot of weight and ended up in the hospital close to death with severe liver damage. She pulled out of it, but now we worry that she might be in the same situation. We visited her over the holidays and suspect she has started drinking again. She also seems very depressed. Her husband doesn’t seem to recognize the problem. As parents, do we get involved? If so, do we confront Mattie or talk to her husband? -- Terrified for Our Daughter Dear Terrified: Please don’t be afraid to speak to Mattie if you think she is drinking again. It is a serious matter, both physically and emotionally, and needs to be addressed. You also should speak to her husband. He may be doing more than you realize, or he may be in denial or completely oblivious. Contact Al-Anon (alanon.alateen.org) for assistance and suggestions. Dear Annie: When my mother was dying of cancer, she chose to die at home and not at my “pious” sister’s house. My sister resented this and made only brief visits during Mom’s final days. The day the hospice nurse said Mom would probably die within hours, my sister stopped by and then left for a week’s planned vacation. We postponed the funeral until she returned, and she showed up to the visitation in a souvenir T-shirt. After the funeral, Sis, as executor, didn’t want my brother or me to go through Mom’s possessions. Instead, she had an auction, and we had to bid on closed boxes. Many of the things we know belonged to Mom did not show up, and somehow, my sister’s name got on the deed to the family farm. There has been no accounting of the income from the auction, and when we asked, Sis became angry. The final straw was that my mother wrote a personal letter to me but did not get around to mailing it. Sis found it, made copies and passed it out to everyone but me. I would like the original, but Sis says, “Finders, keepers.” Sis now wants us to get together and pretend there are no problems. This is putting my “Christian attitude” to the test. Should I turn a very bruised cheek and pretend all is well for the sake of family unity? -- Confused in Missouri Dear Missouri: Your sister certainly has been less than forthcoming, and the business with the personal letter is rather nasty. Did your mother have an attorney? If so, there should be an accounting of where the money went and what your sister was entitled to as executor. But you may need to sue in order to get the information, so decide what it’s worth to you. It is likely to cause a permanent estrangement, and you still may not get what you are hoping for: your sister’s remorse and an apology. Our condolences. Dear Annie: “Want To Do the Right Thing” wants to celebrate his parents’ 50th anniversary but can’t afford the restaurant and wants guests to pay for their own meals. We all want things we cannot afford. Most parents would not enjoy knowing their children are depriving themselves for a big party. Instead, arrange for a nice family photo that would be treasured. Then take your parents out to a lovely lunch or dinner. -- R. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Russia labours to replace windows smashed in meteor fall L aur a Mills Associated Press
CHELYABINSK, Russia — As a small army of people worked to replace acres of windows shattered by the enormous explosion from a meteor, many joked on Saturday about what had happened in this troubled pocket of Russia. One of the most popular jests: Residents of the meteor were terrified to see Chelyabinsk approaching. The fireball that streaked into the sky over this tough industrial city at about sunrise Friday was undeniably traumatic. Nearly 1,200 people were reported injured by the shock wave from the explosion, estimated to be as strong as 20 Hiroshima atomic bombs. But it also brought a sense of co-operation in a troubled region. Large numbers of volunteers came forward to help fix the damage caused by the explosion and many residents came together on the Internet — first to find out what happened and soon to make jokes. Chelyabinsk, nicknamed Tankograd because it produced the famed Soviet T-34 tanks, can be as grim as its backbone heavy industries. Long winters where temperatures routinely hit minus-30 Celsius add to a general dour mien, as do worries about dangerous facilities in the surrounding region. In 1957, a waste tank at the Mayak nuclear weapons plant in the

Municipal workers repair damaged electrical power circuit outside a zinc factory building with about 600 square metres of a roof collapsed after a meteorite exploded over in the Chelyabinsk region on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013. Chelyabinsk region exploded, contaminating 23,000 square kilometres and prompting authorities to evacuate 10,000 nearby residents. It is now Russia’s main nuclear waste disposal facility. A vast plant for disposing of chemical weapons lies 85 kilometres east of the city. For many, the meteor provided a reason to roll up their sleeves and get to work repairing the more than 4,000 buildings in the city and region where windows were shattered, or to provide other services. More than 24,000 people, including volunteers, have mobilized in the region to cover windows, gather warm clothes and food, and make other relief efforts, the regional governor’s office said. Gov.

Meteor catches Canadian astronaut off guard on space station Pe ter R akobowchuk Canadian Press
MONTREAL — The meteor that streaked across the sky above the Ural Mountains in Russia on Friday caught Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield off guard. Hadfield, who is aboard the International Space Station on a five-month visit, said he missed the big event from his vantage point in outer space. “We weren’t in a position to see that meteorite do all that damage in Russia,’’ he told University of Waterloo students
during a video link-up Friday. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who joined students for the chat with Hadfield, tried to offer his own assurances. “This isn’t new news,’’ the rookie astronaut said. “The Earth is struck by objects all the time. In fact about 100 tonnes of debris hits our planet every day (and) most of it doesn’t pose a threat to us.’’ Phil Langill, an astronomer and University of Calgary physics professor, said the meteor “snuck in under the radar.’’ He added that to be able to
spot such a meteor beforehand, “you would have to be just really lucky.’’ “You have to have the right equipment looking in the right direction, at the right time, with the sun in the right angle, no clouds,’’ Langill said. He said space rocks like meteors are usually visible when they reflect sunlight, but a lot of them are dark. Langill also pointed out that, luckily, the Russian meteor made a long streak across the atmosphere and did not come straight down toward the
Earth. “The more air that it passes through, the more it’ll burn up in the air and the less of it will hit the ground, said Langill, who is also director of the Calgary-area Rothney Astrophysical Observatory. He added it could have been worse had the meteor slammed into the ground. “It’s hard to put a hard number on these things, but certainly a crater the size of a city block probably would have resulted,’’ Langill said, adding he wants to analyze the data.
MPs say it’s time to test blimps Stephanie Le vitz Canadian Press
OTTAWA — It’s time to rethink the blimp, a House of Commons committee suggests in a new report. Airships are often associated with the Hindenberg crash of the 1930s, and their development was overtaken by that of the airplane, reducing their use in recent years mostly to props in ad campaigns. But there’s room for certain kinds of them to play a new role in Canada, especially when it comes to reaching remote communities in the North, the transportation committee recommended in a recently released report. “Hybrid air vehicles may one day provide a superior solution, as they can travel over snowfall, frozen water or impenetrable terrain, and require no roads or rail installations to operate,’’ says the report.
The committee’s look at airships was part of a broader study examining more creative ways to address some of the shortfalls in Canada’s transportation sector. When it comes to airships, a number of barriers exist to putting them into more widespread use, the committee heard. Among them is a lack of infrastructure, trained personnel and licensing regimes, said Barry Prentice, a professor at the University of Manitoba and president of ISO Polar Airships, a research institute that promotes the use of the vehicles. Prentice is adamant the time to start developing those capabilities is now. “The problem we have in the North is not going away, climate change is not going away, and what are we going to do when we get to the point where the ice roads are not us-
able,’’ he said. “We certainly can’t afford to build gravel roads every place in the North and the airships are the most reasonable solution that we should be taking a hard look at.’’ In addition to helping northern communities access food and supplies, they could have military applications. The U.S. military was expected to spend about $1.3 billion last year to acquire and develop airships and related technology for both cargo and surveillance. Discovery Air Innovations told the committee that just to develop the vehicle they’d like to bring to Canada could cost $60 million to $80 million, but they are having difficulty obtaining support from banks or private companies that might be able to use one. The government is equally wary about putting in money. “As the committee does not
wish to put taxpayers’ money at risk by investing in a business that cannot attract private capital, it focused on the question of whether the operator of a hybrid air vehicle would have the opportunity to compete for federal shipping contracts,’’ the report said. So the committee has recommended a pilot project be launched via Public Works and Government Services to see whether the airships could work. “The technology needs testing to ensure reliability. If the government were to abandon existing transportation modes in favour of a new option that failed to work, urgently needed goods might not reach their destination,’’ the report said. The committee report does not obligate the government to pursue a particular course of action and the government has time to table its response.
