RCMP investigate cull trap vandalism S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
Two clover traps being used to cull urban deer in Cranbrook were vandalized on Tuesday, February 19. According to a statement from the City of Cranbrook,
the RCMP are actively investigating the vandalism, which happened overnight February 19. “The traps are the property of the Ministry of Forest, Land and Natural Resource Operations,” the City’s statement
reads. Last Thursday, the city announced that it is culling up to 30 mule deer this winter in its second round of urban deer population control. The B.C. Deer Protection Coalition has spoken out
against the cull and held a protest in Cranbrook on Sunday. However, Mayor Wayne Stetski said Monday that council has heard from residents both in favour of and opposed to the cull.
After years of waiting, Cranbrook’s hospital will finally get a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU), says Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. The $20 million project was included in the health care component of this week’s B.C. budget. “The budget included reference to money for ‘projects at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’. This means we will get funding for the new ICU – details will be announced at later date,” Bennett said Tuesday. The announcement was met with excitement by Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board chair John Kettle. “That is absolutely awesome. I’ve been carrying that cross on my shoulders for the last three years. It’s something we’ve fought for very hard,” said Kettle. The budget does not spell out exactly how much funding is heading this way, Bennett said. “The first and most important step in moving this critical regional
health care project forward is now behind us, that of ensuring the project is in the province’s fiscal plan. Now, we will determine the details of the project: total cost, number of beds and design.”

Renovations to the four-bed ICU will include mandatory upgrades to the electrical system throughout the hospital to bring it up to the latest CSA standards, Interior Health’s director of business support Todd Mastel said earlier this month. The health authority told the Ministry of Health the total cost would be $19.9 million.

CBAL puts out the welcome mat for newcomers
Cranbrook, Kimberley get $187,000 to create more welcoming, inclusive communities for newcomers Barry Coulter
Those seeking better lives in warm and welcoming communities will do no better than Cranbrook and Kimberley, thanks to some government funding and an intense initiative by a local organization. The B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour, Citizenship and Immigration Canada this week announced funding to enhance the integration of immigrants into B.C. Communities — part of the Ministry’s Welcoming Communities Program (WCP). The WelcomeBC funding — $8.5 million for 51 new community projects — supports the creation of local projects and partnerships to make communities more inclusive and welcoming. Locally, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) received $107,000 to help achieve this goal in Cranbrook. Kimberley received a further
$80,000 on top of that. “As immigrants come into the community, we will provide the services (to help them settle and acclimatize),” said Katherine Hough, CBAL Community Literacy Coordinator for Cranbrook. CBAL moved quickly to establish a broad team of partnerships in Cranbrook and Kimberley and to set up projects to help improve access and services, recruit and train volunteers, and bring local businesses and other organizations on board. “We pulled together some community focus meetings in January,” Hough said. “Part of (our initiative) is helping newcomers, but also, we asked how do we make our communities more welcoming?” CBAL therefore has put together a series of partnerships with community groups and businesses, and have several new projects in the works. • For instance, CBAL Big Brothers and Big Sis-
ters will create a Family Mentoring program, in which volunteer families will be trained to assist newcomers, and then paired with an immigrant family for four to six months. “They will then befriend that family, show them around, introduce them to what living here is all about,” Hough said. • Production of a video is also planned, which details the immigrant experience in the area. This video will then be shown available to immigrant families and local residents to further mutual understanding. • Another project is to educate local businesses — not necessarily to hire immigrants, Hough said, but simply to make them more welcome. Hough said the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, on board as a partner, will be conducting these employer workshops in Kimberley and Cranbrook. • The Cranbrook Food Action Group will be offering a gardening
project, which will teach Canadian gardening techniques to newcomers, who may be coming here from radically different biological and climatic zones. Local residents will be welcome to attend these sessions as well. • A program will be set up to help daycares better accommodate immigrant kids and their families, Hough said. “Maybe (the newcomers) don’t speak English very well, maybe they don’t really know how daycare works.” • The Cranbrook Boys & Girls Club has also come on board to do mentoring with immigrant families. CBAL has set the projects in motion over a very short time window. “We pulled this together over the last few months,” Hough said. The focus groups were held in January, and the groundwork for the projects is to be in place by the end of March. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2001 to promote liter-
New ICU gets green light Continued from page 1 But even if the hospital doesn’t receive that full amount, it’s great news, said John Kettle. “Any monies that are coming to the hospital for an upgrade of our ICU is a win for our taxpayers,” he said. “My sincere thanks to our board and particularly to Bill Bennett for fighting so hard for us.” Bennett said he has been working to get funding for the ICU for at least the past four years. “(Hospital chief) Dr (Lawrence) Jewett and I have had many discussions. “I played a pivotal role in securing this project being included in the fiscal plan. It was very tough with virtually no money available,” said Bennett. The ICU renovation is one of the three large
acy and lifelong learning throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions. The purpose of the Welcoming Communities Program is to build
capacity to support the integration of new immigrants. A press release from the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training said a community’s ability to receive
immigrants is a critical factor in successful integration, which is integral to addressing B.C.’s labour market and demographic challenges over the next decade.

The City of Kimberley has issued a brief press release announcing that
Chief Administrative Officer Al Mulholland is no longer in the employ of the city. The press release
states: “The city writes this communication to advise that Mr. Al Mulholland is no longer em-
ployed with the city.” “We thank him for his service to the city and wish him well in his future endeavors,” said
Mayor Ron McRae. The city is searching for a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and in the meantime, Chief Financial Officer Holly Ronnquist will fill the role as acting CAO. The city expects to find a permanent replacement within three or four months. Mulholland arrived in Kimberley in April of 2010 during the administration of former Mayor Jim Ogilvie. He came to Kimberley from the Sunshine Coast where he spent 10 years as executive director of Community Futures of the Sunshine Coast. Prior to that, Mulholland spent many years in executive management positions, including as Deputy Minister in the Government of Saskatchewan from 1976 to 1986.
Correction
An article in the Wednesday, February 20 issue of the Townsman misquoted Mayor Wayne Stetski. At the Monday, February 18 meeting of council, Mayor Stetski actually said, “We and all of the municipalities in British Columbia can only do what the province permits us to do.” We apologize for the mistake.

Coming this spring, Mount Baker Senior Secondary will be performing “Fiddler on the Roof,” May 9-12. The classic story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman who struggles with the choice of following tradition, or allowing his five daughters to find love on their own is one full of
laughs, romance, heartbreak, and enlightenment. Since January the cast and crew have been hard at work putting together a show that will truly inspire. Directed by Mary Hamilton, Angus Liedtke (as Tevye), Brianna Kennedy, Joelle Winkel, Carter Gulseth, Danica Martin, Ben Smith, Lois Winkel, and
Justice Jones lead a gifted cast of students Grades 10-12. The equally talented crew includes Scott Martin as the Musical Director, Jacqueline Morrow and David Popoff as the choreographers, and Paul Kershaw as set designer. The show will be held at Key City Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on May 9-11 and 2 p.m. on May 12.
Tickets will be $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. This musical masterpiece is sure to transport you to a time when love was nonsense and tradition was everything. Be sure to get tickets now to avoid missing out on such a phenomenal Mount Baker production.
A safe approach for a healthy baby
L
Fr a nçois Amigues
IDEAL Family
ong before birth, the baby builds the roots of his health based on his parents’ genetic legacy and from his reactions to all the influences met during pregnancy. These two factors are the foundation of his future. According to researchers in obstetrics and perinatal care such as Dr. Michel Odent, Pr. Jean-Pierre Relier and Bruce Lipton, prenatal life is truly the time to educate the child. After birth, education will only put more or less in motion what is already developed in the womb. Discovered by Andrew Taylor Still in Missouri in 1874, osteopathy is a complete functional manual medicine that also specializes in the care of children, pregnant women and parents. The assessment and care are made by a superficial and deep manual palpation of tensions sought by the hands of the osteopath. Osteopathy uses five main techniques to meet the needs of the body: 1. Osteo-articular to release compression in the joints (this technique has led to chiropraxy); 2. Myo-fascial to help release the muscles and their envelopes (the fascia); 3. Visceral to release chemical or mechanical damage to organs; 4. Cranio-sacral to release the nervous and hormonal systems; 5. Bio-dynamic to revitalize weakened or degenerated tissues. Osteopathy can help start or strengthen contractions during childbirth, reposition the baby, release the newborn torti-
collis, regurgitation, restlessness, digestive disorders, insomnia, give lactation support and postpartum care. It is specifically designed to remove, transform or release imprints of stress, starting with the parents before conception; clearing the way for the future child. Osteopathy is also useful to prevent the transfer of daily stress from the mother to the unborn baby. Viola Fryman, Doctor in Osteopathy, has built a renowned Institute in California where she has demonstrated the efficiency of this practice on pregnant women and on babies at an early age, when important negative prenatal imprints can still be removed. In osteopathy these stress points are called ‘strains’ and are very palpable for the osteopath. They result from various mechanical pressures done on the womb through the diaphragm of the mother under stress, or a high dosage of adrenaline which tightens the tissues of both mother and baby. Whether it be an intense stress inflicted by surprise and in isolation, or a repeated but untreated stress of lower intensity, these factors will deeply imprint the tissues of the unborn child. At each step of his development, the child matures in a specific part of his system. An adult whose tissues have been under stress before birth, will have more difficulty to face the
challenges of life because of weaker body systems. When babies are treated by an osteopath within three months after their birth, more than 60 per cent of the perinatal strain can be removed. And treating the pregnant women can even remove over 80 per cent of the prenatal pathological imprints on the baby. And if future parents are treated before conception, a high amount of their own prenatal strain will be released. This gives a much healthier genetic legacy to the child! Ideal Family is a charitable organization located in Jaffray, B.C. where two osteopathic practitioners specialize in perinatal care. With the help of other practitioners in adjacent fields, they give workshops and activities to increase the health of couples, pregnant mothers and babies. Every third Sunday of the month, families are welcomed in Jaffray to benefit from this unique opportunity (by donation). Osteopathic sessions are available in Fernie, Cranbrook, Invermere, Creston and Nelson. For more information, please call 250-429-3332.

Canuck forward suspended for hit to Marian Hossa C ANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK - Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen has been suspended one game for a hit to the head on Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa. Hansen struck Hossa in the back of the head with his forearm during the third period of the Blackhawks’ 4-3 win Tuesday. Hossa was reaching for a puck in the air as Hansen, who had also reached for the puck, closed his glove and delivered the hit. The injury knocked Hossa out of the game after he had already scored two goals. There is still no timeline for his return. Hansen, who was as-
sessed a minor penalty for roughing after the hit, will forfeit US$7,297.30 and will miss the Canucks’ game in Dallas on Thursday. Hansen has three goals and four assists in 15 games. The Blackhawks will be left to hope Hossa, who has eight goals and six assists in 16 games this season, isn’t gone for long after suffering his second head injury in less than a year. Hossa was knocked out of the playoffs with a concussion in April 2011 after a hit from behind from Phoenix forward Raffi Torres. Torres was suspended 25 games for the incident, although that penalty was later changed to 21 games.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Cranbrook is a long way from home for Jon Martin, but heading into Brandon for a pair of games was close enough for the Manitoban, who hails from Winnipeg. “It was great,” said Martin. “Got to see a lot of the family and cousins so it was really good to have that support out there.” Martin had a banner night on Saturday in front of his almost-home crowd, with friends and family in attendance, scoring twice, including the game winner in overtime that put the Kootenay Ice 4-3 over the Wheat Kings. “I felt pretty good out there,” said Martin. “Just kept moving my feet and doing the simple things and it all paid out so it was good.” His performance, plus his size and physical style of play, earned him a spot alongside Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau against the Swift Current Broncos on Monday. “Definitely it’s a lot different, playing with them,” said Martin, who
has spent most of the season playing with Zach McPhee and Austin Vetterl. “It’s going to take some getting used to and if I do end up staying on that line, I’ll have to get used to them in practice and start building up some chemistry with them.” Kletzel noted that the Broncos are big up front, and the Kootenay coaches wanted to add some size to complement the duo of Reinhart and Descheneau. “Swift Current has a bigger, physical team and I think we wanted to make sure that we have had a presence on each line and I think that’s where you’ve seen him join those two,” said Kletzel. “In the game before that, he had a good game, so he gets an opportunity to play with Reinhart and Descheneau and another chance to see some different lines and how they play together for the future.” Descheneau ended up going on a tear on the score sheet and posted his first career WHL hat trick. The final goal came on an empty net play
while Swift Current was making an attempt at a late comeback. “I didn’t think I was going to get it, because Philper had it at the start of the play and it got blocked,” said Descheneau. “It was an unselfish play by Cable in giving it to me there and so it felt
good.” With a 5-2 win over the Broncos, the Ice leapfrogged ahead of the Lethbridge Hurricanes and into eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Considering their road record in the first half of the season, the Ice have certainly turned things around in the latter half, with eight wins in 14 road games. “I think, especially on the road, you need every guy to be ready to go from the start of the
game. I think we had some success, especially in Swift Current, we had that right off the bat,” said Kletzel. “We played a really complete game in Swift Current and had those guys doing the things they need to do.” “When we were in Brandon, we were a little inconsistent with that. We had periods where we started well as a group, but we didn’t put the game together like we did in Swift Current.” The Ice were hoping to add another player to the bus during the trip by picking up Troy Murray, their first-round draft selection in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft last year, however, the young defenceman was recovering from an injury. Murray, the younger brother of Everett Silvertips star defenceman Ryan Murray, could have possibly seen some ice time, however, the intent was to introduce him to the Kootenay Ice’s atmosphere and culture, said Kletzel. “I think it’s good to get him with the culture of the team, to kind of see what it’s like to be on
the road and what that looks like and how you have to prepare,” said Kletzel. “Guys like Joey Leach, you want him to learn from a guy like that, to have some experience with him, with how Joey’s done a really good job with other guys that he’s played with.” Now that the team has a hold on a playoff spot, the challenge becomes staying in the race. The Hurricanes are only one point behind, however, the Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors trail by 10. Both teams have 12 games remaining in the season, but Kootenay has four more victories in the win column. The ‘Canes are close in points because they picked up a bunch due to nine games that were lost in either overtime or a shootout. “We just gotta keep doing what we’ve been doing since the [Christmas] break,” said Descheneau. “We were way out of the playoffs after the break, but now we’re back in and we gotta keep going, proceed forward and try to get into a higher position.”

Homan shows her Scotties debut is no fluke Gregory Strong Canadian Press
KINGSTON, Ont. Ontario skip Rachel Homan admits she didn’t think she was capable of winning the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in her debut appearance in 2011. She made the playoffs that year in Charlottetown but lost the bronze-medal game. Homan’s mindset has changed now that she has returned to the national women’s curling championship. She feels she belongs in the mix with the elite rinks and has what it takes to play for the title on Sunday. “I think we’re just as good as any team here now,” Homan said. “I think we’re ready and I think we’ve shown that this season as well.”
The 23-year-old skip from the Ottawa Curling Club is backing up her words. The momentum from a strong campaign has carried over to the nationals, where Homan improved to 7-0 on Wednesday after an 8-2 rout of Saskatchewan’s Jill Shumay. “She’s a superstar and she will be a superstar,” said Nova Scotia viceskip Colleen Jones. “She’s so intense, so driven, so good, that it’s amazing.” Homan is tied for first place with Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones, who beat Heather Nedohin 8-5 to knock the Team Canada skip from the unbeaten ranks. Homan’s teammates are also in their mid-20’s but they have been together for 12 years. She feels they’re prepared to
take the next step. “Honestly, it’s experience,” she said. “You can’t fast-track that.” Her rink won the national junior title in 2010 and took the silver at the world junior championships that year. The Ontario team sits third in the Canadian Team Ranking System this season. Homan’s side is aggressive but steady on the ice and the mileage from the last few seasons is evident. They appear to have that look of a rink that truly belongs at the top level. New Brunswick skip Andrea Crawford said Homan exudes confidence on the ice. “That plays a big role in your performance,” Crawford said. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot that shakes her.”
Homan has also been buoyed by the friendly crowd at the K-Rock Centre, which is about a two-hour drive from her home club in Ottawa. She’ll get a stiff test Thursday when she meets Jones in a battle of undefeated rinks. “I think maybe two more wins and we might be in the 1-2 (playoff) game,” Homan said of her goal for the round robin. “That’s where we’d like to be at the end of the week. It’s where we were at provincials and we like that spot. “Hopefully we can get there at nationals, it would be amazing.” Homan added that her squad of third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk and lead Lisa Weagle will keep using the same strategy. So expect plenty of rocks in
play and big shot attempts when the opportunities present themselves. “We know each other really well,” Homan said. “We know what needs to be said and what we need on the ice and off the ice. We’re just really good friends. “We try to make it as fun as we can out there.” The tournament is past the midway point and teams are starting to think about potential playoff positioning. Jones and Homan are in good shape as it will likely take at least seven wins to be in the mix this weekend. “It’s nice to get that seventh win and it knocks (Saskatchewan) down with another loss so there’s a little bit more separation,” Homan said.
Sabres fire Ruff, promote AHL affiliate coach John Wawrow Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Ron Rolston will finish out the season as the Buffalo Sabres interim coach, taking over hours after Lindy Ruff was fired Wednesday amid growing criticism for the team’s slow start. Rolston was in his second season as coach of AHL Rochester, the Sabres’ minor-league affiliate. And he has long-tenured shoes to fill in replacing Ruff, who became the franchise’s winningest coach over 16 seasons.
“The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach, but as a person. His qualities have made this decision very difficult. Terry Pegula The change comes a day after the Sabres were booed off the ice during a 2-1 loss to Winnipeg, and after Ruff had finished overseeing a 90-minute practice in preparation for Buffalo’s game at Toronto on Thursday. General manager Darcy Regier called the team’s lethargic perfor-
mance during the loss to the Jets as “a tipping point.” And he added that discussions to fire Ruff had begun earlier in the day. The Sabres (6-10-1) have gone 4-10-1 since opening the season winning their first two games. Regier went to Ruff’s home to inform the coach of the decision. He then allowed Ruff to visit with players as they boarded a bus to travel to Toronto. Rolston was scheduled to arrive in Buffalo on Wednesday evening and then join Regier in travelling to Toronto for his first meeting with the team. Regier said he’ll use the remainder of the season to determine whether Rolston deserves taking over the job on a full-time basis. Before being hired by the Rochester Americans, Rolston spent seven seasons as coach of USA Hockey’s National Team development program. During that time, he became the first coach to lead the U.S. Under-18 team to win three gold medals (2005, 2009, 2011). Rolston is also familiar with numerous Sabres, including centre Cody Hodgson and forward Marcus Foligno. He spent the first half of this season coaching both, as they played in Rochester during the NHL lockout.
Ruff finished with a 571-432-162 record, and was also the active leader among NHL coaches with the same team. The news of his firing came as a surprise only because Sabres management, including team president Ted Black, had spent much of the past week voicing its support of Ruff. Team owner Terry Pegula was also regarded as a big fan of Ruff. Pegula, however, was running out of options in his bid to turn the Sabres into a Stanley Cup contender, an objective he made clear upon purchasing the team two years ago. Ruff ’s firing comes nearly two years to the day Pegula formally
took over as the Sabres owner on Feb. 22, 2011. “The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach but also as a person,” Pegula said in a statement released by the team. “His qualities have made this decision very difficult. I personally want Lindy to know that he can consider me a friend always.” Ruff was becoming increasingly aware that his job was on the line. Last week, he described the Sabres struggles as being “his mess,” while adding that he wasn’t done trying to clean it up. On Wednesday, he abruptly cut short his

availability with reporters by hinting that changes were coming because “it isn’t working the way we’re going.” He didn’t specify what those changes might be. Last year, the Sabres were regarded as one of the NHL’s biggest busts in missing the playoffs with a high-priced roster. The previous off-season, Pegula committed nearly $140 million in salary to add talent and re-sign players.

Canadian tennis player says she’s ‘stepping away’ from the game C anadian Press
TORONTO - One of Canada’s top female tennis players is distancing herself from the game for the second time in a year. Rebecca Marino says she’s “stepping away” from tennis. The 22-year-old from Vancouver rocketed from a world ranking of No. 192 in 2010 to No. 38 a year later. She reached a WTA tournament final in Memphis in February, 2011. “This was not an easy decision, but there are a number of factors that have led me to this,” Marino said in a statement issued Wednesday by Tennis Canada. “Factors that are part
of our society and that I am more than open to discuss, which I plan to do moving forward, because I know it’s part of my growth process.” It wasn’t clear from the release if Marino intended to retire or return to tennis. She was scheduled to speak to the media on a conference call later Wednesday. Marino told the New York Times the Internet and social media criticism that comes with being a pro athlete were overwhelming at times. It played a role in her decision to take a hiatus in 2012 that lasted seven months, although at the time she said her reasons were “intense mental and physical fatigue.”

Muddled testimony raises questions Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa - The prosecution case against Oscar Pistorius began to unravel Wednesday with revelations of a series of police blunders and the lead investigator’s admission that authorities have no evidence challenging the double-amputee Olympian’s claim he killed his girlfriend accidentally. Detective Hilton Botha’s often confused testimony left prosecutors rubbing their heads in frustration as he misjudged distances and said testosterone banned for professional athletes in some cases was found at the scene, only to be later contradicted by the prosecutor’s office. The second day of what was supposed to be a mere bail hearing almost resembled a fullblown trial for the 26-year-old runner, with his lawyer, Barry Roux, tearing into Botha’s testimony step by step during cross examination.
Police, Botha acknowledged, left a 9 mm slug from the barrage that killed Reeva Steenkamp inside a toilet and lost track of illegal ammunition found inside the house. And the detective himself walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, potentially contaminating the area. Authorities, Roux asserted, were selectively taking “every piece of evidence to try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court.” The case has riveted South Africa, with journalists and the curious crowding into the brickwalled courtroom where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying. Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prosecutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered be-

Paralympic and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius claims he killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, accidentally. hind a locked bathroom door. The question now is whether Botha’s troubled testimony will be enough to convince Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair to keep Pistorius in prison until trial. While Pistorius
faces the harshest bail requirements under South African law, the magistrate has said he would consider loosening them based on testimony in the hearing. Final arguments were scheduled for Thursday.
INDIANAPOLIS The next time Jim Schwartz or any other NFL coach throws a challenge flag on a scoring play, he might get a penalty. Starting next season, he should get a replay review, too. NFL executive vice-president of football operations Ray Anderson emerged from Wednesday’s competition committee meeting in Indianapolis and told The Associated Press the most important thing is getting the call right. “The bottom line is that we will get resolution on that play where we will get it right, where the play on the field is correctly administered,” Anderson said. The loophole was exposed on the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game when Schwartz threw the challenge flag on an 81-yard touchdown run by Houston’s Justin

Forsett. Replays clearly showed Forsett’s knee and elbow touched the turf when he was hit by Lions defenders. But because all scoring plays are automatically reviewed, Schwartz was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and it negated the review. In the aftermath of that game, Anderson issued a statement that said negating the review might be “too harsh.” Though no formal proposal is yet on the table, Anderson and others expect the rule to be modified before next season. “I think we need to clean up the situations about what is reviewed, with Detroit and I think it was the Green Bay-Minnesota game,” Giants owner John Mara said, referring to the play that coach Mike McCarthy threw the flag and a player picked it up. “I think
we’ll address that. I’m not sure what the language will look like yet.” That’s not the only topic on the committee’s discussion list this week. Player safety is yet again at the forefront. The biggest potential change may be the way helmets are used in the future. Currently, players can be penalized for hitting defenceless receivers and hitting players above the neck with the crown of the helmet. One possibility is expanding the rule to make it illegal to target any player on the field and any body part with the top of the helmet. The league also plans to take a look at changing the rules on illegal blocks, which could help avoid the low, rolling block that knocked Texans linebacker Brian Cushing out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

C O N G R A TNEWS U L A T I O N S Ktunaxa Nation Hosting Open House February 22nd
KTUNAXA NATION OPEN HOUSE
Cranbrook/Ktunaxa Territory – The Ktunaxa Nation Council (KNC) are inviting the public to an Open House on Friday February 22nd, between 1:00pm-7:00pm, at their new office location in the Central School heritage building. The Ktunaxa Nation purchased the building in August 2012 and it is now home to over 100 staff members. “We are very excited to invite the public into our new home, and provide an opportunity to learn more about the Ktunaxa,” said
Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair. “For many, it will be the first opportunity to see the inside of the Central School Building since it was transformed it into offices. Hundreds of area residents attended the Central School as students, including many Ktunaxa, and their only recollection is of classrooms and chalkboards.” The Ktunaxa Nation is governed by a nine member Executive Council, which is comprised of the

on the opening of your
new office location!
(the newly purchased Central School heritage building)
Congratulations to the Ktunaxa Nation Council on the opening of the new Ktunaxa Nation Government Building Teck is proud to have a strong partnership with the Ktunaxa Nation and we look forward to a bright future together. If you have any comments or questions about Teck please visit our office on the first floor of the KNGB building in Cranbrook or contact feedbackteckcoal@teck.com
Chiefs of the four Canadian Ktunaxa communities and five Council Chairs which represent the sectors of the KNC: Corporate; Economic; Social Investment; Lands and Resources; and Traditional Knowledge and Language. Each Sector will have a display highlighting their role within the Ktunaxa Nation, with staff there to provide information. Building tours will leave from the Gymnasium on a regular basis, showcasing many of the unique features, such as the original school bell and furnace. As part of the Open House, we are also encouraging visitors to take part in documenting the history of both the Central School and the Ktunaxa,” continued Teneese. “The Ktunaxa deeply value our collective regional history. We feel that it is important to ensure that we
archive that history, and we would like to invite the public to bring any photos they may have that involve either the Central School or Ktunaxa. We will have a digital scanner set up at the Open House, and if you bring your photos in, we will preserve them for future generations.” The purchase of the Central School Building represents a continuum of the history of Ktunaxa on its lands, and is symbolic of Ktunaxa efforts in moving towards self-governance. The building, built in 1909, will become a centre for cultural gatherings and will house a Ktunaxa Nation Museum, for which resource planning is already underway. The building will also have a dedicated space for Ktunaxa Elders to discuss and share cultural values and history. The building will be home to many affiliated organizations including
Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty Society, St. Eugene Mission Resort Holdings Ltd., Ktunaxa Holdings Ltd., Traditional Knowledge Language Enrichment Society, Kootenay Aboriginal Business Development Agency (KABDA) and FlexiNET Broadband Inc. In a recent analysis, figures show that the Ktunaxa inject more than $30 million annually into the regional economy. Most revenue is generated is from consulting and professional services, along with various Ktunaxa owned enterprises, with less than 3% of core funding coming from AANDC (Department of Indian Affairs). ---------------------------------- Ktunaxa people have occupied the lands adjacent to the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and the Arrow Lakes of British Columbia, Canada for more than 10,000 years.

URBAN DEER Whether you
love
hate
them or
them
CULLING DOESN’T WORK And here are just a few of the reasons why...
There is no way to target specific deer. f Most conflicts reported involve Mule deer because they may be more active during daylight. White-tailed deer are more likely to be active at night. The clover traps are baited and set to trigger during the night. The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of species.
Culling causes Compensatory Rebound Effect.
f Killing fawns, yearlings and bucks will not normally affect the reproductive potential of the deer herd within a community. (Harris, MoFLNRO, Penticton, 2012) The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of sex or age.
f As long as there is an abundant food source and deer feel comfortable in a location, the culled deer population will be replaced through other deer moving in and a birthing boom. Thus leading to a perpetual killing cycle costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars without effectively reducing human/deer conflict.
f There is no way to know that a deer suspected of aggression has been eliminated from the community. It may be the less habituated deer who have not had conflict with humans.
Public safety - the very thing the municipalities say they are trying to address - is not improved.
WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE?
1. The decision/resolution to cull
and the decision/resolution of what tax dollars to spend on it in Cranbrook was made by City Council “in camera” - meaning behind closed doors and without public observation or consult. This is in direct contradiction to what the Community Charter (the legislative guidlines for municipal governments) dictates.
Transparent government is critical to community trust.
3. Culling costs tens of thousands
of your tax dollars every year without any lasting or true benefit.
2. Culling does not resolve citizen
4. Culling does not improve public safety
concerns about deer whether it’s for those who want them “dealt with” for various reasons, or for those who enjoy their presence and want to coexist. As such, it is a very divisive action conducted by our city leaders without benefit to our community.
- the very reason the city says they are taking this action.
5. Mule Deer are on decline in our
forests. We need the deer to replenish our barrier deer population.
We aren’t advocating for the cit y to do nothing. We’vvee researched solutions that work in other communities. Weve This paid advertisement is brought to you by... For more information on how you can help end the culling of urban deer or for information on non-lethal options, please contact us at

The CRANBROOK & DISTRICT CHAMBER of COMMERCE
The recent renovation project at the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce is a success story from top to bottom. The Chamber office, located at the East end of town just off Cranbrook Street, now utilizes space more efficiently, has more offices available to rent and has improved the overall appearance to the front reception area which has the important responsibility of a welcoming first impression to many visitors to our beautiful location year
round. The project was completed in October 2012 and well received by those who came by for a tour of the office on their own and during the Chamber’s open house on December 12th following the Christmas Luncheon at the Heritage Inn. Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce building directors also took advantage of the BC Hydro Product Incentive Program topped off by the additional 10% rebate from the Province of B.C.’s LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program when upgrading their lighting. http://www.livesmartbc.ca/incentives/small-business/index. html Kootenay Region’s provincially funded LiveSmart BC Small Business Energy Advisor, Marilyn Christensen assisted with the eligibility and product information, and helped them through the online application process. Becoming more energy efficient is crucial to cutting costs and in addition, sets a good example to its members
and the community by showing their commitment to making greener choices. The Chamber office will now save an estimated 21,679.20 KWh per year!! Their rebate cheque was received within two weeks!
With so many decisions to make, Chamber of Commerce Manager, Karin Penner, appreciated Marilyn’s involvement. Marilyn’s services are currently available for FREE to all Kootenay area small businesses who qualify, including non-chamber members. Establishing eligibility is as easy as a phone call (250) 4265914 or email livesmartadmin@ cranbrookchamber.ca

Kepler-37b is around the same size as the moon and similar to Mercury.

Smallest planet yet planet discovered Alicia Chang Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Astronomers searching for planets outside our solar system have discovered the tiniest one yet — one that’s about the size of our moon. But hunters for life in the universe will need to poke elsewhere. The new world orbits too close to its sun-like star and is too sizzling to support life. Its surface temperature is an estimated 700 degrees Fahrenheit (371 degrees Celsius). It also lacks an atmosphere and water on its rocky surface. It’s been nearly two decades since the first planet was found outside our solar system. Since then, there’s been an explosion of discoveries, accelerated by NASA’s Kepler telescope launched in 2009 to
search for a twin Earth. So far, 861 planets have been spotted and only recently have scientists been able to detect planets that are similar in size to Earth or smaller. While scientists have theorized the existence of a celestial body that’s smaller than Mercury — the baby of the solar system since Pluto’s downgrade — they have not spotted one until now. Nearest to the sun, Mercury is about two-fifths the Earth’s diameter; the newly discovered planet and our moon are about a third the size of Earth. The teeny planet was detected by Kepler, which simultaneously tracks more than 150,000 stars for slight dips in brightness — a sign of a planet passing in front of the star. The planet — known as Kepler-37b —
orbits a star 210 light years away in the constellation Lyra. It’s one of three known planets in that solar system. Discoverer Thomas Barclay of the NASA Ames Research Center in Northern California was so excited when he spied the moon-sized planet that for days, he said he recited the “Star Wars’’ movie line: “That’s no moon.’’ It took more than a year and an international team to confirm that it was a bona fide planet. Scientists are looking
for an Earth-size planet that’s in the so-called Goldilocks zone — that sweet spot that’s not too hot and not too cold where water, which is essential for life, could exist on the surface. While the newly discovered planet isn’t it, “that does not detract from the fact that this is yet another mile marker along the way to habitable Earth-like planets,’’ said Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, who was not part of the discovery team.

NASA said Wednesday it received confirmation that Curiosity successfully collected a tablespoon of powder from the drilling two weeks ago and was poised to transfer a pinch to its onboard laboratories. It’s the first
time a spacecraft has bored into a rock on Mars to retrieve a sample from the interior. The analysis is expected to take days to complete. If all goes smoothly, scientists will focus next on driving the sixwheel rover to Mount Sharp, its ultimate science destination. Curiosity landed in an ancient crater last summer to study whether the environment could have been favourable for microbes.

E. coli found in frozen burgers triggers widespread beef recall L aur a Jakobschuk Canadian Press
OTTAWA — Health officials are investigating another massive cross-country beef recall after frozen burgers sold by Canada Safeway Ltd. tested positive for E. coli bacteria. Health officials are testing several Safeway brand burgers including Gourmet Meat Shoppe Big & Juicy Burger, Gourmet Meat Shoppe Prime Rib Burger and Butcher’s Cut Beef Patties sold in packages of 10, 20 and 40. The burgers were produced on one single day on Aug. 14, 2012 at the Cardinal Meat Specialists plant in Brampton, Ont. The burgers have a best-before date of Aug. 14, 2013. The plant will continue to operate during the investigation. Cardi-
nal is the biggest meat producer in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. “They’ve taken the precautionary action of recalling all the products produced on the line for that day and we’re continuing to work with them in the investigation,’’ said Paul Mayers, associate vice-president of programs at CFIA. Federal inspectors are examining retail samples of the products and received a positive response for E. coli. The investigation was sparked after two people in Ontario and Manitoba became ill and tested positive for E. coli on Feb. 13.

British neighbourhood appeals for return of Banksy mural JILL L AWLESS Associated Press
LONDON — A London neighbourhood wants its Banksy back. A stencil by the famed but secretive graffiti artist of a young boy sewing Union Jack bunting on an antique sewing machine appeared on the side of a north London bargain store last May. Soon the gritty Turnpike Lane area was drawing art lovers keen to see Banksy’s typically cheeky take on the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the British throne. Last week it vanished, leaving nothing but a rectangle of exposed brick — only to reappear on the website of a Miami auction house. Listed as “Slave Labor (Bunting Boy),’’ it is due to be sold Saturday with an estimated price of between $500,000 and $700,000. London authorities concede the sale is probably legal — the mural was on private property. But they hope moral pressure will make the auction house change its mind. “(It’s) totally unethical that something so valued should be torn without warning from its community context,’’ local lawmaker Lynne Featherstone said. Featherstone said she had asked the building’s owner for an explanation, but had yet to receive a reply. Poundland, the store that occupies the building, said it had nothing to do with the removal. On Wednesday, the local government authority appealed to the auctioneer for the return of the work. In an open letter to auction house chief Frederic Thut, Haringey Council called the artwork “a much-loved local landmark’’ that had been visited by people from around the world. “We understand that there may be nothing illegal in the way this artwork was quietly removed from our streets and put up for auction by you in Miami,’’ the letter said. “But for you to allow it to be sold for huge profit in this way would be morally wrong, and completely contrary to the spirit in which we believe it was given to
tails. It said in a statement that it had “done all the necessary due diligence about the ownership of the work.’’ “Unfortunately we are not able to provide you with any information by law and contract about any details of this consignment,’’ it said. “We are more than happy to do so if you can prove that the works were acquired and removed illegally.’’ The anonymous
street artist, who refuses to reveal his real name, began his career spray-painting buildings and bridges in his home city of Bristol in southwest England. His often satirical images include two policemen kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words “Laugh now, but one day I’ll be in charge.’’ Original Banksy works now sell for up to
hundreds of thousands of dollars and the artist has become an international celebrity. He has created sequences for “The Simpsons’’ and directed an Academy Award-nominated documentary, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.’’ His works are still sometimes obliterated by zealous local officials, street cleaners or taken off buildings along with a chunk of wall for private sale.

He said its disappearance had left residents “shocked and
angry.’’ Strickland said he had asked England’s Arts Council for help retrieving the work. The government-funded council called the loss of the Banksy “a shame,’’ but said there was little it

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. I have been dating “Brianna” for 10 months. She graduated last year and attended a community college, but really had no ambition or motivation to be there. We spent last summer together, and I honestly fell head over heels in love with her. Here’s the problem. I have been accepted to many colleges out of town. It has always been my dream to go away to school. I told Brianna it wouldn’t be fair to either of us to stay together while I am away, but I want us to be together as much as possible until then. Ever since I mentioned this to Brianna, however, things haven’t been the same. We’ve been arguing a lot. Brianna’s dad left when she was 12, and she’s still crushed by it. She doesn’t get along well with her family and tells me I’m all she has. She says when I go away to school, I’ll be leaving her just like everybody else. Now I feel nothing but guilt when I think about college. I want us to enjoy our time together as much as possible. I want Brianna to be my date for my senior prom, but I don’t want her to think I’m simply using her. It’s not true. She is the only person I want by my side. Annie, do you think it’s fair that we’re staying together now even though we’re most likely breaking up when I leave for college? I want the full college experience, and I know a long-distance relationship will be miserable, because Brianna and I argue constantly via text messages when we’re only 10 minutes away. Have I made the right decision? -- College Bound and Confused Dear College Bound: Whether or not to stay together until the end of the summer is up to Brianna, too. If she can handle it, wishing you well, it’s a solid idea, and you can plan to see each other over winter break. But if Brianna feels you are abandoning her, she may try to hold you hostage emotionally, pressuring you to alter your plans. That will only create hard feelings and resentment all around. Talk to Brianna and ask what she wants to do, but be firm about your future. Good luck. Dear Annie: Last June, a co-worker committed suicide. The staff and I were extremely devastated. No one saw it coming. Now, all these months later, two of my best friends at work have decided to get a tribute tattoo in this person’s honor. These friends were not particularly close to this co-worker, and this is the first death they have personally experienced. I know everyone deals with death in their own way, but they barely knew the co-worker who died. Our entire group of friends thinks this tattoo is a bad idea. We all want to say something, but don’t know what. -- Tattoo Troubles Dear Troubles: We think these two are looking for a way to honor their late co-worker. If you can recommend a better tribute (e.g., working for a suicide prevention hotline, Survivors of Suicide, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising funds for suicide awareness), you could suggest it as being more meaningful. But ultimately, how they choose to decorate their bodies is up to them. Dear Annie: “No Longer Compatible” said she isn’t attracted to her husband because he stopped bathing and has bad breath, a beer belly and sinus issues. Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn’t conferred with the vows. Has she actually told him what she wants from him? He may be relieved that better hygiene can fix the issue. My second husband wore a size 54 belt. I pretended modesty and wanted the lights out, but really didn’t care to see his body. But he was an excellent lover because his most important organ was his brain. He tried to please and was completely unselfconscious. -- Also Been Married to Buddha Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Norman Allan Blaine November 11, 1940 -February 7, 2013
We are saddened to announce the passing of Norman Allan Blaine (aka, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stormin Normanâ&#x20AC;? & â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blinkâ&#x20AC;?). He is survived by his daughter, Kristi, sonin-law, Kevin and his two very special grandchildren, Kylea and Kameron. Norm was born in Cranbrook, BC and spent many years of his life there, working for CMHC. He then moved to Kelowna BC, where he worked as assistant manager with CMHC for many years. In 2004, Norman fulfilled his life-long dream, to live on the open road. He found himself a motorhome and travelled for the next 6 years across the United States and Western Canada, with his beloved dogs in tow. Norm will be remembered for his generosity, love of animals and his uncanny ability to tell a great story and deliver a joke, better than anyone! There will be no funeral service by request. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebration of Normâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lifeâ&#x20AC;? will be held later in the spring in Cranbrook, BC. To receive information on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration of Lifeâ&#x20AC;? please email nblink1940@gmail.com

Thomas (Tom) Montague, Oldham Conway March 20, 1919 February 17, 2013
It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nursing Home in Edmonton on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at the age of 93. He was reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, May, who passed away on Dec. 9, 1996. Tom was born on March 20, 1919 on a farm near Lloydminster Saskatchewan, where he grew up and received his education. Tom met May, the love of his life, and they married on July 17, 1943. They farmed in Lloydminster area till 1952. They resided in Irma, Alberta and also spent nine years in Blairmore, Alberta where he was the pastor in a small church with the Canadian Sunday School Mission and worked independently for McGavin/Toastmaster. They moved to Kimberley, BC, for five years and then in 1971 moved to Cranbrook where he continued this work until retirement. He and May owned and operated the Flamingo Motel in Cranbrook. Tom was an active member in the Cranbrook Alliance Church and served as a board member and elder for many years. He moved to Edmonton for his remaining years, to spend time with his special friend, Audrey Grant, who he knew from his youth. He whistled everywhere he went, often his favourite hymns and loved to share jokes from his repertoire. He eagerly shared his faith with those he met along lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pathway. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sadly missed by his children, their families and many friends. He leaves to mourn four daughters, Carole Thom (Bruce), Dianne McKay (Doug), Sylvia Leasak (John), Norma Juozaitis (Francis), and one son Gary Conway (Kyra), eleven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren. Tom was predeceased by his wife May, brother Jack and sister Mary. Following a private internment, there will be a memorial service for Tom at the Cranbrook Alliance Church on Monday, February 25, 2013 at 12:00. In lieu of flower, donations can be made to His Hope Uganda, c/o Gary Toyoto, 2909 - 2 St. S., Cranbrook, BC, V1C 5B6
