Jumbo Day As the new municipality is officially inaugurated today, February 19, an environmental group has filed a court case against the appointment of the Jumbo Glacier council SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
in defence of democracy,” said Eco Society executive director David Reid. “Every Canadian should shudder at the idea of a provincial minister appointing a mayor and council for a municipality with no residents. It’s an affront to our constitution and our democracy.” According to the Eco Society, there is a common law understanding that a municipality is a democratic institution created for a public purpose. Therefore, the creation of a municipality with no residents for the purpose of furthering a private development is inherently unconstitutional, said the society.
On the eve of Jumbo Glacier’s official creation as a municipality, a West Kootenay environmental group filed a court challenge against the appointment of a council for the community, claiming it was unconstitutional. The West Kooteay Eco Society filed a petition in Nelson court Monday, February 18, applying for a judicial review on the creation of Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality. The application argues that the B.C. government’s appointment of a mayor and council for the new municipality without any electors violates the constitution. “Our action today is See WILDSIGHT, Page 5

CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER
Agent testifies how he thought of suicide CAM FORTEMS Kamloops Daily News
Suffering heroin withdrawal and coming down from a drug high, a sick Garry Shank sat in a Cranbrook jail and contemplated whether to hang himself. The self-described “scumbag” fleeing parole
had just been arrested by RCMP late in October 2009, in possession of an assault rifle. He was headed back to federal jail, sent there after a tip from an informant to police, who knew where he was. The only people who were supposed to know
Shank and his partner had just arrived in Cranbrook were three men, plus their boss in the local drug trade, who had driven them there from Calgary in order to kill a rival. Someone had turned him in. At 30 years old, Shank
testified he’d spent more than half his life doing crimes or in jail. He never worked at a legitimate job. “At that point I had a breakdown,” Shank testified Friday in the witness box in the murder conspiracy trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Cor-
reia. “I said I was looking to talk to someone. I was crying, having a full-time breakdown. I was so ready to be done with this life.” Shank said he believed one of the three men on trial or Chad Munroe, who had been recently shot in
Cranbrook by the rival drug group, had turned him in to police. “I toyed with the idea of hanging myself,” he said in answers to questions from Crown prosecutor Ann Katrine Saettler.

Funding charity passes campaign goal United Way of Cranbrook and Kimberley received almost $123,000 in donations in 2012 Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
After setting a campaign goal of $111,000 in 2012, the United Way of Cranbrook and Kimberley raised close to $123,000. “There was an increase in local workplace campaigns,” said Donna Brady Fields, executive director of United Way. Falkins Insurance and Canfor’s Canal Flats and Elko mills signed on to hold workplace campaigns for the United Way last year, Brady Fields explained. “Canfor made a huge difference in our campaign with a combined campaign totalling al-
most $20,000 and 80 per cent participation of staff,” she said. Workplace campaigns encourage staff to dedicate an amount of their choosing from each pay cheque to the United Way. “We recognize that donors are constantly bombarded with requests. Some causes are easily quantifiable. But we know the United Way addresses social issues that studies have shown if left unresolved create more difficult issues,” said Brady Fields. The United Way provides financial support for the following local agencies: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook;
Bellies to Babies; the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club; Cranbrook and Kimberley Daybreak programs; the F.W. Green Memorial Home; Kimberley Special Care Home; Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice; Cranbrook Hospice Society; the Hospice Society of the Columbia Valley; Cranbrook Society for Community Living; the East Kootenay PARTY program; and Options for Sexual Health. “The board of directors wishes to thank all of our generous donors who every year step up and help make a difference in our community,” said Brady Fields.

Police agent continues conspiracy trial testimony Continued from page 1 “I toyed with all kinds of ideas. One that seemed the most reasonable was to work with the police.” Shank was soon talking with RCMP from the B.C. gang unit, both while in Cranbrook cells and after he was returned to Kent penitentiary.
“I’d dedicated my whole life to being a scumbag,” Shank said. “For 17 years…I’d literally done this full time. To do this I was throwing it all away — every family member and friend I had would be gone with this decision.” Garry Shank For the third day, Shank recounted his life of crime, agreement to kill Doug Mahon and then conversion to a police agent. The key Crown witness is heavily tattooed on the face, his shirt and tie appearing to obscure other tattoos that snake up his neck. Five months after his jailhouse breakdown, Shank signed an RCMP contract, agreeing to become an agent. This, he explained on the stand, was far more than an informant, who is paid a maximum of $200 at a time for information. As an agent, Shank would wear a recording device and be directed by RCMP “handlers” on a day-to-day basis. The initial reward offering was $25,000, half paid upon completion of the investigation and the other half on conclusion of any trials. He would also be paid an income of $1,000 a week during the investigation. “I’d dedicated my whole life to being a scumbag,” Shank said. “For 17 years…I’d literally done this full time.
To do this I was throwing it all away — every family member and friend I had would be gone with this decision.” Shank — who started the KRCC riot in 2005 by knocking out a guard with a kettle and starting a fire in the cell block — acknowledged for most of his life he viewed police with “hate.” Even as he was talking with police on a daily basis before signing on to become an agent, however, Shank admitted to dealing drugs in Cranbrook. He also told Correia, who supplied him with cocaine to sell, that he was terminally ill from colon cancer — a lie he testified he’d used before with authorities, or any time he wanted to get out of a job. RCMP were forced to keep with that story of cancer. In order to explain to Correia Shank’s absence from Cranbrook, RCMP made a fake arrest booking in Kelowna and also gave Shank an extensive tour of Kelowna General Hospital’s cancer centre. They also gave him $2,000 to pay back Correia, after he’d spent the money he was supposed to give back to the Cranbrook drug dealer after selling an ounce of cocaine. After the contract signing in March 2010, Shank undertook his first “scenario” — talking again with Correia and Carry about killing Mahon. Unlike five months earlier, this time Shank was working for police and wore a recording device. He testified they discussed at Carry’s home them paying him $10,000 to kill Mahon. “We wouldn’t need to talk about this again,” Shank said of his discussions with Correia and Carry. “We knew our roles.” The trial is expected to last three months.

Blue about daughter Dear Wendy: I was wondering if you can see my daughter and me talking within the next few years. Is she is happy living with her father? I didn’t know what to do with her anymore; she had gotten into so much trouble in our home town. My fiancé feels it will do her good to see, as he says, “how the other side lives.” I miss her a bit but I don’t miss the fights with her and the continual disruptions she caused in our home. Can you tell me anything else that will help me get over the sadness I feel since she has left? Blue Mom Dear Blue Mom: I don’t think you should feel blue mom. From what you told me in your email and the questions I asked my guides about her; I think you should thank your lucky stars that she went to live with her dad for awhile. We feel the people in your household as well as yourself need the break. I talked to my guides about her and from what I can see you are in for quite a rocky road with this child. Unfortunately, you have spoiled her and made her not accountable for what she has done and probably still doing in your ex-husband’s home at this time. We see him returning her to you within the next six months. We see a woman living with your husband who we feel is his wife. This woman does not like nor will tolerate the temper tantrums and lies your daughter will be telling her. She is the one that will be setting down the rules and laws and she is the one who will be sending your daughter back to you. So don’t be blue, just take a deep breath and relax before she hits your doors again. I suggest that you and your fiancé get some strict ground rules when this girl comes back and stick to the rules. This is because if something doesn’t change radically in your home the way you have raised this girl; you are in for at least another five years of trouble with her. Your fiancé is telling
you the truth when he states that you have let her run wild. I pray that you realize that your indulging her wishes as you have hasn’t built her self esteem but has created a little gremlin that doesn’t care about anything or anyone but what she desires. Please get some help for you and her when she returns home. Wendy
ASK WENDY Wendy Evano
Dear Wendy: Last week you channelled over to heaven so I could talk to my mom. I enjoyed the session and feel a lot better. I forgot to ask you if my aunt was with my mom. I don’t think we talked about her. I would also like to ask you if you see my husband retiring within the next few years. Feeling Content
Dear Feeling Content: I’m glad you enjoyed your talk with your mom last week. I as well thought the reading went very well. Thank you for being so open, honest and aware during our session; it certainly helps me confirm what I’m seeing when I visit the other side. I don’t remember if you asked if your aunt was with your mom because when I am channelling in a reading I don’t remember much after the session is over. However, I asked my guides if your aunt was with your mom and the answer is no. Your aunt is on a different level than your mom but she does see her on occasion. We feel that your husband will want to retire within the next five years not within the next two or three years. He likes his job and is a bit of a workaholic. Wendy

Wildsight plans rally outside Jumbo’s first council meeting Continued from page 1 “We couldn’t sit by and see this perversion of democracy move forward in an area that we have fought to protect for 20 years,” said Reid. “We’re confident that the court will agree with us, and that the Jumbo Wild community will support our efforts.” A judge will review the case and decide whether there are grounds for the case to proceed. The BC Attorney General and the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development have been named as parties in the case. Based on previous judicial reviews, the process could take up to six months to resolve. Last November, the Ktunaxa Nation also filed an application for a judicial review of Jumbo’s creation over concerns about consultation rights for aboriginal title holders. Bill Bennett, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and Kootenay East MLA, said he cannot comment on the Eco Society’s legal action “except to say that government is confident in our decision to use a municipal structure to facilitate the development of this important project.” He clarified that when local government legislation was changed
last spring, it was not to allow the creation of a municipality without residents. “We changed the legislation last spring because the pertinent section was silent on whether a mountain resort municipality could be created without residents. The legislation did not say there had to be residents,” said Bennett. “We were given a legal opinion that we should clarify the point so we did. “There have been municipalities created in the past by a B.C. government that had no residents. This is not unique. We chose this structure because it is best suited to dealing with the land use issues that the project will have to settle in the new community and because the Regional District of East Kootenay asked us to use a mountain resort municipality,” he said. Meanwhile, the appointed council for Jumbo Glacier mountain resort municipality will have its first official meeting on Tuesday, February 19 at 1 p.m. in Radium, using the Village of Radium Hot Springs council chambers. Radium’s mayor Dee Conklin will call the meeting to order, before Radium’s corporate officer Mark Read swears in
Stolen vehicle stopped with a spike belt Cpl Chris Ne wel
RCMP arrested two subjects on February 16, after stopping a stolen vehicle using a spike belt. Elk Valley Detachment received a report of a gas theft in Sparwood around 7 p.m. A license plate number was obtained and further checks found the vehicle had been stolen from Calmar, Alberta. Elk Valley detachment advised the vehicle was last seen headed west towards Cranbrook on Highway 3.
Tuesday, FEBRuary 19, 2013
Officers successfully deployed a spike belt near the game check east of Cranbrook around 8 p.m. The vehicle was stopped and two subjects were arrested, an 18 year old male and 15 year old female both from Alberta. They were held in custody pending an appearance before a Judicial Justice of the Peace February17. They are currently facing charges of Possession of Stolen Property, theft and Breach of Probation.
“I hope that civil discourse prevails in our region to the extent that public meetings are still allowed to occur unobstructed” Greg Deck Jumbo’s Mayor Greg Deck and Councillors Nancy Huganin and Steve Ostrander. The first business of Jumbo’s council will be passing a resolution that, although Mayor Deck is given a seat at the Regional District of East Kootenay table, he will not attend board meetings unless expressly asked each time by the board chair. Phil Taylor will be appointed Acting Corporate and Financial Of-
ficer. The council will also vote on a set of procedural bylaws, such as which bank the municipality uses, council renumeration and expenses, and freedom of information and protection of privacy policies. “We have no delegations. All of it will be public; no in camera session is planned,” said Greg Deck. Environmental group Wildsight has organized a rally outside Jumbo’s first council meeting tomorrow, starting at 12:15 p.m. Spokesperson Robyn Duncan said that previous rallies have drawn hundreds of people, and a shuttle is running to bring Jumbo Wild supporters from Nelson. Wildsight is against the appointment of a council for Jumbo when there are currently no residents.
“The mayor and council have been appointed, yet there is no population for them to govern. They have to adopt an official community plan, yet it cannot deviate from the master development agreement of the Jumbo Glacier Resort. Local government officials should be elected by the population they are representing, not appointed to represent a developer,” said Duncan. Mayor Greg Deck said he hopes the rally does not disrupt the council proceedings, “but rather use the occasion to demonstrate that not everyone is pleased with this step in the process. “I hope that civil discourse prevails in our region to the extent that public meetings are still allowed to occur unobstructed,” said Deck.

The bull in culture’s china shop “A pox o’ your throat you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog.” Shakespeare Quite recently I had the rare pleasure of a short drive in the local countryside with a young woman. During our somewhat stilted conversation she told me that she loved Shakespeare’s plays and I had to inform her that I hated the man, his plays and his sonnets. As she sat there apparently appalled at my crass ignorance, I was reminded of a short scene in one of the Rowan Atkinson comedy series where the hero, Black Adder, actually meets the bard in an Elizabethan corridor and takes the opportunity to beat him up for the indignities he causes and has caused English school boys. As for ‘great Shakespearean actors’, to me they are just hams; they are incapable of acting. We, as kids in school, we told time after time, that Shakespeare was absolutely marvellous. Well, some of us, still conscious after an hour’s lesson, reckoned that Will might have been all right for folk in Queen Elizabeth’s era, but why was he foisted on us? And, as a local director once told me, “You don’t act in Shakespearean plays; you just stand there and say the lines.” So, while we’re on the topic of awful
actors, take a look at opera. While I was still a young man, I was lured to an opera by a lovely, young French girl. There, in a huge theatre with lots of other sufferers, all sitting, facing the same way and not enjoying themselves, I had a great time. I’d never before seen such a ridiculous display of over-acting and screeching. Despite the fact that the singers were using Italian and my companion was explaining everything in French, I didn’t ‘get it’. I didn’t do too well with the Peter French girl either. There Warland probably is a French word for ‘uncouth’. Mauvais gout, peut etre? In fact, many years after that evening, with an even more callous friend, we used to put on opera on the TV, turn off the sound, and, to his wife’s disgust, sing along. It would probably be wrong, cruel even, to blame my parents for the way I am. It is most likely the stubborn streak that I inherited from my mother, who had a weak heart, was told not to have children, and look what happened. The problem is: I cannot stand being told what I should like, be it Shakespeare, opera, ballet or art. Over the past half century or so I have been subjected to ballet. I’ve sat through performances in big London theatres and not been impressed by the leaps and pos-
turing. Whilst visiting Vancouver one year, I was dragged in to see a ballet company from New York. At the time, Paul Kershaw, here in Cranbrook, was directing students in the Broadway musical Anything Goes and the eight school girls that danced in that show were better co-ordinated. There was also a ballet performed at our community theatre and, of course, I was hauled along. For me, the best thing about that show was the fellow seated behind me who, during a ‘pas de deux’, kept yelling, “Where’s the corpse?”. He probably meant the ‘corps de ballet’, but I loved his mistake. Years ago some enthusiast brought in and displayed several paintings by the legendary Emily Carr, she who was supposed to be really good at totem poles and West Coast scenery. I was lured into the exhibition and there proclaimed loudly that I had never seen such amateurish, muddy painting. I wasn’t actually thrown out, but I am fairly big, bourgeois and stubborn. In the past, teachers tried hard to persuade me and other spotty youths that poetry was good for our souls. This persuasion was supposed to be accomplished by forcing us to learn whole books full of stuff that made absolutely no sense at all to soulless kids. After all these years I can still recite much of that drivel but, according to a very educated friend (with a soul) only the ‘jingly stuff’. I am so uncouth, and a plebeian to boot.

Opinion/Events
I read with disgust MLA MacDonald’s partisan and irresponsible remarks with regard to Kimberley’s flume application to the federal gas tax program. You will notice, I called it the “federal” program. The money comes from the federal government directly to the Union of BC Municipalities where a panel of five non-political people decide on what projects have the most merit. One of the five reps is a provincial bureaucrat. The Ministry of Community, Sport & Cultural Development provides technical analysis of infrastructure projects to the committee. Neither myself nor any other elected person sees the applications
or is provided any insight into the analysis of projects. I am not asked for my “opinion” because it is irrelevant to the technical determination. The provincial government is handed the list of successful projects as a fait ‘accompli. Mr. MacDonald continues his relentless and tiresome negative tirades, which seems to make him too busy to actually do the work of an MLA. Unlike BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok, Norm MacDonald has never darkened my Minister’s door in eight years to advocate for the Flume project or any other project in his Riding. I am not even the MLA for Kimberley but I feel so badly for Kimberley’s lack of representation, I
have brought millions to the community for various projects. I am sorry no federal gas tax money was awarded for the Flume project but it has zero to do with the BC Liberal government. Candidate Clovechok has requested that I ask UBCM and my technical staff if information can be shared to help Kimberley understand what it needs to do to strengthen its next federal gas tax application and I will comply with his request. Bill Bennett MLA, Kootenay East
On Prayer In his column of February 15, 2013, Reverend Yme
Woensdregt asks “What is prayer and does it really work?” I’m sure it does to some degree; it helps to clarify our thinking and to identify our priorities. Also, it can be comforting to feel that we have handed the problem to a higher power. But, when we ask for change, improvement for ourselves or for others, are we not questioning God’s competence? Being both omniscient and omnipotent, surely God would be already fully aware of our needs and desires. We must assume that everything is going according to a plan that cannot be changed despite our pleas. Que sera sera. Bud Abbott Cranbrook
B.C. gas boom is real, all right
W
hether Christy Clark’s government survives the May election or not, the natural gas “Prosperity Fund” idea floated in last week’s throne speech is a useful one. B.C. is poised to join Alberta in the upper rank of energy producing jurisdictions, with an expanding network of natural gas collection, refining and processing into liquid (LNG) for export. Clark’s pre-election throne speech proposed a resource fund similar to Alberta’s Heritage Fund that would be reserved for debt reduction and major projects, rather than spent on programs, which tends to happen under the political pressure of four-year election cycles. Opposition politicians and media commentators have dismissed this as a pre-election stunt. They note that the LNG industry in B.C. doesn’t exist yet, and may never produce the hundreds of billions of dollars projected over the next 30 years. I returned for a visit to B.C.’s northeast earlier this month, and I can tell you the gas boom is real. My parents homesteaded east of Dawson Creek near the Alberta border in 1962, and I recall when our farm was drilled for gas by Gulf Canada 40 years ago. Many more gas wells have been drilled since then, and country roads have been widened and numbered for industrial traffic. Hydraulic fracturing, already in use when our farm was drilled, has been combined with directional drilling to open up huge new supplies. A farming community
Kitimat LNG
Artist’s rendering shows proposed liquefied natural gas processing and loading facility on Haisla reserve land near Kitimat. called Montney is the latest hot play, yielding not only shale gas but petroleum liquids, which are valuable for diluting heavy oil among other things. B.C. has never seen this kind of international investBC Views ment interest before. Initial Tom projects have Fletcher been joined by global players such as British Gas, and Mitsubishi, a key player in Japan’s replacement of its devastated nuclear power program. Spectra Energy, which operates one of North America’s biggest gas processing plants at Fort Nelson and has another one under construction nearby, has begun work on a third plant near Dawson Creek. Spectra and British Gas have also proposed the latest of several pipelines, to move all this gas to an LNG terminal at Prince Rupert. The Kiti-
mat-Prince Rupert region now has at least five proposed terminals, with investors including Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil and state players from China and Korea. All this is happening as shale gas is developed across the United States as well. As with oil, Canada is a captive of the U.S. market, and the flood of new gas supply has the North American price at rock bottom. At least B.C. hopes it’s the bottom. Gas royalties passed forest income to the B.C. treasury many years ago, and now as the forest industry struggles to recover, the province faces tumbling revenues from gas. Why would B.C.’s shale gas be seen as a priority for new global investment in LNG? For one thing, we’re a stable democratic country with a mature industry and competent regulation. Secondly, the shipping advantage of the Kitimat and

Prince Rupert ports to the Pacific Rim has finally been recognized internationally, as coal, forest products, grain and container traffic has climbed in recent years. B.C. has another advantage that appears to be increasingly important. The shale gas deposits are deep, under a kilometre or more of solid rock, and most are in remote, sparsely inhabited locations. That adds cost to the pipeline system, but it has a benefit. At the beginning of the year I predicted that the international protest movement that dishonestly targets Alberta oil would soon turn to demonizing natural gas. That pseudo-scientific attack has begun, right here in B.C. I’ll have more on that in a subsequent column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Shyptika loses heartbreaker in senior curling final TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Shypitka rink lost a close game in the B.C. senior men’s curling championship final over the weekend in Trail, losing a 5-2 decision to a team headed by Craig Lepine out of Langley. The two teams were tied up at 2-2 going into the ninth end, however, Lepine managed to score a devastating triple, which ended the game.
“The team was really happy with what we did, and the way they look at it, is that we can win a whole bunch of these things. They really think this is just the beginning of something.” Tom Shypitka “My last rock, I was trying to play a double, to play two, buried, to steal possibly two points that end,” said Tom Shypitka, “but my rock over-curled about an inch, inch and a half, and left him an easy shot for three—and I didn’t really see the possibility of that even happening.” It was a tough loss for the team to swallow, after playing to a respectable record of five wins and
two losses in the round robin. Cranbrook’s Shypitka skipped the squad, with Nelson’s Fred Thomson as third, Trail’s Don Freschi as second and Fruitvale’s Bill King as lead. Team Shypitka’s round robin record pitted them against Myron Nichol, a team from the host club in Trail, in the semifinal, but the Cranbrook skip prevailed with a 8-4 win that put his team into the championship game. Lepine’s six wins and one loss over the round robin was good enough to give him an automatic berth into the final. “They had last rock advantage going into the game, and they used it pretty wisely, played pretty defensively the whole game,” said Shypitka. “They didn’t really give us a chance to get too aggressive; I think they wanted to play it that way.” This was Shypitka’s first crack at the provincial curling title in the senior level, but he’s already envisioning many more runs with his current teammates in the coming years. “The team was really happy with what we did and the way they look at it, is that we can win a whole bunch of these things,” Shypitka said. “They really think this is just the beginning of something.”

FIGHTING FOR RESPECT: The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club headed south of the border over the weekend with two fighters, as Dylan Clark and Shannon Ryan took on some American opponents in Kalispell. Clark lost his bout by decision to Koby Moreno, a boxer out of Butte, Montana, while Ryan won hers with a unanimous decision over Savanna Riggles, who fights out of the Flathead Boxing Club. Ryan previously defeated Riggles in her first-ever fight in Cranbrook a few months ago, and remains undefeated in her boxing career.

KOOTENAY ICE
Ice beat Broncos, move into eighth place TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Jaedon Descheneau posted his first career WHL hat trick and led the Kootenay Ice to a 5-2 win over the Swift Current Broncos for the team’s final road trip into Saskatchewan. The win leapfrogged the Ice into eighth place, surpassing the Lethbridge Hurricanes and into the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot. Levi Cable and Zach McPhee scored the other goals for Kootenay, while Adam Lowry
responded with a pair for Swift Current. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 23 saves for the win, while Eetu Laurikainen made 20 saves in defeat for the Broncos. Descheneau’s production over the trip tallied up to four goals in three games, as he scored in the first matchup agains the Wheat Kings last Friday. “He played really well,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel, on Monday afternoon from Swift Current. “I think
Sell some some tools Sell tools getsome bigger box Sell tools ororget aa bigger box or get a bigger box
his linemates, Reinhart and Martin played well, and the deeper guys we had out there, and he just created ice for himself and got to the net and put three in.” Special teams was a factor, as Kootenay converted twice on the powerplay—both times by Descheneau—in five opportunities. They also shut out the Broncos and killed off only two penalties throughout the game. “We took advantage of our power plays and we’ve created some chances in other games, but not capitalized on, and we capitalized on two this afternoon,” said Kletzel. “Our penalty kill, we did a good job of minimizing their chances, and when they did get a couple, Mackenzie Skapski did a good job of making saves.” It was a big start for Kooteany, which jumped out of the gate and scored within seven minutes, when Cable got his 10th marker of the season. Descheneau got his first of the night a few minutes later on a pow-
erplay, while Reese Scarlett served a slashing penalty. Twenty nine seconds into the second period, Adam Lowry took advantage of mismanagement of the puck in Kootenay’s zone and scored to cut the deficit in half.
However, McPhee restored the two-goal lead at the halfway mark of the frame, scoring on a scramble in front of the crease, with Laurikainen down on the ice. In the third period, Skapski made a big save on a shorthanded oddman rush, but then Descheneau picked up the loose puck and went to work. The speedy forward managed to weave through the Swift Current defence and creat-
ed a breakaway for himself, which ended with the puck in the net. Lowry was the recipient of a backdoor play late in the frame for his second goal, but Descheneau notched his hat trick with an empty netter with 90 seconds remaining in the game. Kootenay, while in the middle of an 11game win streak on home ice, have struggled on the road, with an 11-17-1-0 record outside of Western Financial Place. However, collecting four out of a possible six points with a split record against Brandon isn’t bad for this last road trip, however, they’ll need to keep up their winning ways in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. “The game today, we feel pretty good about our effort, but still, in Brandon, I think we let some opportunities slide through our fingers,” said Kletzel, “but us ending this trip here in Swift Current the way we did is positive and we’ll keep moving forward.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a way with words that is clear and concise. Right now, whether confusion lies on your side or someone else’s, do your best to clear it up. Not pointing fingers leads to good will and continued ease when relating on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Be clear and direct. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might have made an error financially -- or maybe someone else has, yet you’re the one who has to deal with it. Don’t turn down someone’s offer to help. Once your finances are back in order, you can make that purchase you’ve been eyeing. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Go full speed ahead. Don’t worry about the outcome of a situation. Rethink a personal matter involving a child or a new friend. Clearly there is a lot of caring between the two of you. If a misunderstanding occurs, don’t take it personally. Tonight: All smiles.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are able to make a difference, and you will do your best to make someone feel more comfortable. Don’t worry so much about the long-term implications of a situation, as it might not be the best time to clear the air. Tonight: Get a little extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to news with a touch of cynicism. You might sense that someone has distorted the story or left out an important fact. Show interest and ask questions. Others appreciate your attention. A meeting takes a positive turn, which leads to success. Tonight: Find your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will look to you to take the lead, so do so. You might be confused by recent events. Ask questions and trust your judgment. Your friends and loved ones will demonstrate their caring because of your kind personality. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take an overview. You know
For Better or Worse
what you did wrong, but you also might be curious about others’ reactions. Explore this further by asking questions. Your creativity and gentleness might seem like a ploy to some, but that is who you really are. Tonight: Watch someone open up. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Work with individuals rather than groups, and you will be happier with the results. You might need to sort out some recent confusion. How you feel about someone could change once you put a misunderstanding to bed. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You always have strong opinions. Allow others to make the first move and express their ideas and feelings. Everyone, including you, gets to see the end results of his or her actions. On some level, this experience could be important. Tonight: Defer, defer, defer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on each task on your to-do list, and work toward meeting your goals. Your ability to move through a problem marks your
interactions. Others trust you to get the job done. Understand what your expectations are from a certain situation. Tonight: Lighten up and relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The unexpected occurs, and you might profit from the outcome of handling it the way you want. Others might take a little while to regroup. If you are wondering what’s going on, try to walk in their shoes. You are in the mood to overindulge. Tonight: Ever playful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay close to home. You might want to reconsider an investment involving real estate or your domestic life. Investigate and discuss different courses of action with a family member or roommate. You will come to a mutually acceptable idea as a result. Tonight: Order in.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Several years ago, I stayed with my aunt and uncle for a week. My aunt sent me down to the basement to tell my uncle to come upstairs for dinner. When I turned the corner, I caught him pulling up his pants in front of the computer screen. He asked me not to tell my aunt, and I didn’t. During my time there, he did several other things that made me uncomfortable. He asked me personal questions about women’s bodies, and one time when I was alone with him, he hugged me from behind, pushing himself against me. Eventually, I told my parents about it. Although they believed me, I don’t think they ever said anything to my aunt and uncle. So I made my own rules about how close to get to him when we visited. The reason I’m writing is because I have two younger sisters, both teenagers, and I have noticed my uncle looking at them when we visit. Even more troubling, my uncle has two young granddaughters who visit on a regular basis. While I don’t like to think he’d do anything to them, my aunt and uncle often babysit for the girls, so he has regular opportunities to be alone with them. The situation worries me, but I don’t know what to do. I’m pretty sure neither my aunt nor my adult cousins have any idea what’s going on. My parents aren’t eager to create a rift, and the grandkids really love their grandpa. But I would feel awful if I later learned he had abused these kids. If my parents don’t address the situation, should I tell my aunt? My cousins? -- Don’t Want It To Happen Again Dear Don’t Want: That hug from behind was a type of molestation. Your uncle isn’t likely to change his behavior on his own, so it is important that the relatives be informed and the younger children protected. Tell your parents that if they are unwilling to handle this, you will talk to your sisters and adult cousins. Your cousins may not believe that their father would harm their kids, and they may be angry with you, but they should know nonetheless. Dear Annie: Like “Worried and Confused in Calif.,” I am also turned off by a dear friend who allows her dog to eat off of her plates and slurp from the same glass. If it were only in her own home, it wouldn’t bother me too much. But “Beth” brings her dog to my house and does the same thing. It is very annoying. Beth is wonderfully generous, kind and ethical. I cannot think of a way to tell her without hurting her. Do you have any suggestions? -Love the Friend and Her Dog, But Dear But: You have already given Beth the impression that you don’t mind, so it will require telling her directly that she either not bring her dog, or not allow the dog to lick the plates. You can be gentle about it, saying you’ve become more concerned about germs lately and would prefer that the dog eat from a dish you’ve supplied for him instead of off of her plate. You might have to remind her a few times, but if she’s as generous, kind and ethical as you say, she will comply. Dear Annie: You often recommend grief counseling for readers whose loved ones have died, and you say to check with their local hospital. I’d like to suggest an alternative. Not all hospitals offer grief counseling, except in the immediate aftermath of a death. But hospices throughout the country offer bereavement support, and the vast majority of them serve the entire community, often at no cost. Please encourage anyone who is grieving to explore what is offered in their community through local hospices. -- Loyal Reader Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Watkins, Fredrick George May 4, 1945 February 7, 2013
Fred has been called home to Glory to be with his Lord and Savior. He leaves behind his beloved wife and soul mate of 47 years, Margie. Fred will be lovingly remembered by his children Leisa (Darcy), Kevin (Andrea) and Alyson (Jeff). Grandad was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Matthew, Joshua, Bronwen, Caleb, Addie, Brandon, Eli and Conner. Fred will also be missed by his siblings: Earl (Julia), Margaret, Kathryn (George), Sheila, and Gordon and numerous nieces and nephews. Fred was born in Regina, SK to Dr. Robert and Gertrude Watkins and at an early age moved to Kimberley BC. Fred and Margie were married in 1966 and spent most of their years raising their children and serving the Lord in Kimberley. Fred had a close walk with Jesus and a deep desire to share the Gospel with others. Celebration of life to be held Saturday, February 23, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. at the Kimberley Fellowship Baptist Church, 395 Marsden St. Kimberley, BC. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for the love and support shown from the many wonderful friends and family in the USA and Kimberley BC.
Judy was born on May 24, 1946 in Cranbrook where she was raised and she completed her early education. Judy then attended the school of nursing at Vancouver General Hospital where she completed her studies and became a Registered Nurse. Judy and Gary were married in 1966 and lived in Prince Rupert and Vancouver before returning to Cranbrook in 1968. Judy worked at the Cranbrook Hospital from 1968 to 2000 until being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. She then went on to long term disability until retirement in 2006. Judy worked in many different areas of nursing during her career including general duty, critical care, emergency, infection control, education & eventually nurse manager of medical/paediatrics on 3rd floor. Judy enjoyed travelling to various places including Hawaii and Europe. Her main enjoyment in her later years were her grandchildren, Aiden & Sophie and her mini Dachshund’s Fritz & Oke. She got great joy from researching genealogy and attending Kootenay Ice games where she could visit with friends. The family would like to thank Dr. K. Wentworth, Dr. E. Sawatsky and all the staff at East Kootenay Regional Hospital for the care and compassion that they showed Judy during her illness. Judy is survived by her husband Gary of 46 years; daughter Lara (Tony) Billmark; grandchildren Aiden & Sophie; son Todd (Jane) Billmark; brother Bob (Becky) MacKay, sister Darlene (Rocco) Angelozzi; sister-in-law Eleanor Skailes and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents William W. and Vivian C. MacKay. A memorial service for Judy will be held on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 2:00 pm at McPherson’s Funeral Chapel in Cranbrook. In lieu of flowers, donations in honour of Judy can be made to the: B. C. Lung Association, 2675 - Oak Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 2K2. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

NEWS Wildlife Act changes create hunting licences for young adults and beginners Townsman Staff
Young people aged 14 to 17 will have greater opportunities to try hunting under new government regulations announced last week. Regulatory amendments to the Wildlife Act will make hunting more accessible to youth and first-time hunters. Under the amendments, the Youth Hunting License has been expanded to make it available for youth aged between 10 and 17 inclusive. Until last week, the age range for the Youth (or junior) Hunting License was 10 to 13 years. Now young adults between 14 and 17 will be eligible. What’s more, the Wildlife Act
now includes a new Initiation Hunting License, a mentoring license that means people aged 18 and older who have not held a hunting licence in B.C. before can try out hunting with a one-year, one-time-only license. “Hunting will always be an integral part of the social fabric of British Columbia and these changes will help introduce a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts to this tradition,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “The B.C.Wildlife Federation and our members are pleased to see the implementation of the expanded Youth Hunting Licence and new Initiation Hunting Li-
cence. These changes will provide increased opportunities for youth to try hunting for the first time and will give experienced hunters a chance to foster responsible hunting and appreciation for wildlife and conservation in British Columbia,” said Bill Bosch, president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation. Hunting, trapping, angling and wildlife viewing are collectively worth about $1.3 billion to the province’s economy. The government is introducing the new Initiation Hunting Licence at $19 ($15 licence fee plus $4 Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation surcharge). The cost of the Youth Hunting Licence is still only $7.
