Thousands flood Ice game with sea of pink SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Parents, students and teachers from St. Mary’s Catholic School cheer loudly during a flash mob to promote acceptance at Pink the Rink on Saturday.
Western Financial Place was thumping loud and bursting at the seams on Saturday, March 2 for Pink the Rink. More than 4,000 people — almost a sold out crowd — filled the rink during the Kootenay Ice vs Medicine Hat game. Students from every Cranbrook school came to the game wearing pink, carrying banners, costumes and clappers handed out by Western Financial. The event was an initiative of Pink Shirt Day, which promotes acceptance of all and stands up against bullying. A special flash mob surprised unsuspecting attendees halfway through the first period as thousands of students suddenly stood up and danced to Selena Gomez’s hit song “Who Says”.

CONSPIRACY TRIAL
RCMP agent later assaulted girlfriend, court told C AM FORTEMS Kamloops Daily News
The lifelong criminal who signed on to become a police agent in a Cranbrook investigation was later convicted of several counts of assault following his role in the sting. Garry Shank was in the third day of cross-examination Friday in the murder conspiracy trial of three men. Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia are charged with
conspiracy to commit murder for events that occurred in 2009 and 2010. Shank signed on in 2010 to become a police agent, signing a contract and wearing a recording device as he allegedly plotted with the three men in RCMP scenarios to kill a drug rival. But early last year — after the close of the investigation and awaiting his chance to testify in the murder conspiracy — Shank got into a
heated fight with his girlfriend in Winnipeg that ended up with him assaulting police. Shank pleaded guilty to one count of assault against his girlfriend and two counts of assaulting a police officer for events in January last year. He received a jail sentence of 118 days — time served in jail awaiting outcome of the matter. “Not only did you break her skull open, she fell to the floor . . .
then she wakes up and you yell at her to clean it (blood) up,” defence lawyer Jim Heller told Shank. Shank testified that when Winnipeg police attended to the report of a domestic dispute, he was Tasered three times, struck with police batons and hit with bear spray. Police didn’t remove his handcuffs, even after he was put in cells. Shank testified that his RCMP handlers who worked with him
during the Cranbrook scenarios came to visit him while he sat in a Manitoba jail on the charges. “I saw them twice,” he said, adding they paid him $100 on one occasion and $165 on the other. Heller also asked Shank why he’s occasionally told people that he has cancer. “. . . I lie all the time,” he said. “That’s what people do.” The trial started in February and is expected to last three months.

Saturday, March 2, marked the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Heidi’s Restaurant on Ninth Avenue in Cranbrook held its final dinner service before closing down for renovations. The well-known establishment will be reborn as a restaurant/brewhouse, under a new, yet-to-be determined name. Restaurateur Heidi Romich (foreground, right) says the renovations will begin immediately and that a complete rethink is being applied to the restaurant’s new design.

and distribution figures,” said Tarja Nolin, area co-ordinator, and Gary Cavers, area media relations, in a press release last week. “It takes a while, after the campaign finishes, to get the final tally.” In the East Kootenay, volunteers collected and sent away, 4,064 gift filled boxes. The B.C. total was 98,876. Canada’s total was 662,312. The worldwide total for 2012 was 9 million-plus. “Incidently, the 20year worldwide goal of distributing 100 million shoeboxes to kids was met.” Organizers praised the commitment of the communities who got involved. “Thanks especially to you, millions of needy children around the world got a big smile on their face.”

An investigation has failed to determine the cause of the large fire that destroyed the top floor of a lodge at Panorama Mountain Village on Wednesday, February 27. After two days of intensive investigation, the file has been closed on the fire at 1000 Peaks Lodge in Panorama. “We worked with engineers and the BC Safety Authority through the day Friday to complete the investigation,” said Columbia Valley Fire & Rescue Service Chief Jim Miller. “Due to the extreme heat in the area of origin, vital evidence was completely destroyed giving investigators no option other than to deem the cause undetermined. “We have identified where the fire started and although the cause is undetermined, we can confirm that foulplay and human-related activities were not factors in the fire. It is a nofault fire.” The investigation took over a day and a half to complete. The building has been now been turned over to the
resort and its security team. The fire, which broke out early Wednesday morning, completely destroyed the top floor of the 35-unit complex and caused extensive water damage throughout the building. “We do not have a damage estimate at this time; however, it will be significant,” Miller said. Firefighters from the Panorama, Windermere, and Invermere Fire Departments responded to the blaze and managed to keep the fire contained to the top floor of the building. There were people staying in the five-storey complex at the time, but all managed to evacuate to Panorama’s Great Hall. All known occupants of the complex were accounted for, with no reported injuries. Between 10 and 12 units in the lodge were destroyed in the fire. It is the second condo fire at Panorama Mountain Village in five years. In June, 2008, 16 condos were destroyed in a huge blaze at the Horsethief complex.

consultations planned by the Province as it fulfills its commitment to consult with residents of the Columbia Basin to ensure their concerns are heard as part of the provincial review of the CRT. The CRT is an international agreement signed in 1964 by Canada and the United States to coordinate flood control and optimize hydroelectric power generation on both sides of the border. “The Province has completed a number of important studies, including analyses of the potential impacts of CRT scenarios on Basin interests,” said Deb Kozak, CRT Local Governments’ Committee Chair and Councillor, City of Nelson.
“It is important that Basin residents attend these consultation conferences to express their views on the Treaty options and on local issues related to the CRT.” Decisions about the future of the CRT could influence how Canada operates local dams and reservoirs for power, flood control and other values, including the environment. Those changes could impact, among other things, water levels, annual payments from the U.S. to BC, and the amount of hydroelectricity generated in the Columbia Basin. • Golden on Wednesday, March 20 at Golden Civic Centre from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cranbrook’s regional district representatives are objecting to proposed new home based business regulations for rural areas. The Regional District of East Kootenay has been preparing draft regulations for both major and minor home based businesses in rural areas. Those regulations were presented to the board of directors on Friday, March 1 for approval to start the bylaw process. But four directors were opposed to the draft regulations — all but one municipal director affected by the major business category. Cranbrook’s Mayor Wayne Stetski and Councillor Bob Whetham, Sparwood Mayor Lois Halko, and Elkford Mayor Dean McKerracher all said their communities could be negatively affected if the regulations go ahead as drafted. If the regulations are approved as proposed, there will be two categories of home based business, depending on where the home is located. Minor home based business — such as child care, a hobby sawmill or a bed and breakfast — will be allowed throughout the region, but major home based business — a portable sawmill, woodworking business, trade contracting or metal working — would only be permitted in parts of Area A (around Fernie), and all of Area C (around Cranbrook). Businesses in the regional district outside of municipalities are not required to have a business licence, but zoning and land use bylaws regulate things like the number of employees, the maximum business area, the number of commercial vehi-
“I think there’s some value in trying to accommodate and legitimize existing businesses but we’re opening up a new future with more industry going outside of our communities and that I think is a risk” Wayne Stetski cles and what retail products are available for sale. The major home based business category is the one causing concern for Cranbrook, with Mayor Stetski pointing out that allowing industrial uses outside city limits could have negative impacts on Cranbrook. “I think there’s some value in trying to accommodate and legitimize existing businesses but we’re opening up a new future with more industry going outside of our communities and that I think is a risk,” he said. “We had a lot of discussion ... about the potential negative impact on those communities that are trying to build an industrial base within their boundaries to benefit their citizens both in terms of taxes and services,” he went on. Councillor Whetham said that allowing businesses to move outside town where they won’t be subject to the same taxes creates an inequitable situation. “It becomes an incentive to move small businesses out of the rural areas. I don’t think that’s really the intent,” he said. “I think this is opening up an inequitable situation in terms of lo-
cating industry out in the rural areas.” Board Chair and Area C Director Rob Gay reminded the directors that they would go through a lengthy public process over the regulations which would provide more chance to revise the regulations. But, he said, the intention is to accommodate industrial businesses that already exist outside city limits. “I’d prefer major businesses move into the industrial area of the city. But it’s the sign writers, the woodworkers ... there are so many other things that I know are going on in the rural area that we are trying to recognise,” said Chair Gay. Directors Heath Slee and Gerry Taft both insisted the regional district should be supporting small businesses whenever it can. “On this issue I’d rather take a bigger view that enabling some of these people to stay in the region or enabling some of the people to start a business is better for everybody even if in the initial stages the municipality isn’t getting their ... commercial tax,” said Taft, Mayor of Invermere. Director Slee (Area B) said small businesses are very important for rural areas. “We don’t want to jeopardize any of these small businesses that are willing to operate in our rural areas. Once you lose your school and your post office, it’s the small businesses that bind our rural communities together,” he said. The regional district board voted to proceed through the bylaw process on the regulations, which will likely come back for first reading in a month before going to the public consultation stage.

Random acts and other musings I was the beneficiary of a random act of kindness recently. I popped into Safeway to get a coffee at the Starbucks on a Wednesday morning, but the barristas wouldn’t take my money. Some stranger, they told me, had come in earlier for a coffee, gave them a $20 bill and asked them to buy coffee for people as they came in. It wasn’t so much the free coffee as it was the random act of kindness that put me in a good mood heading into work. So thank you, whoever you are. Kindness is not as uncommon as we might think. I believe it is part of the basic human make-up (though perhaps cruelty is as well). But the “random act of kindness” is a recent cultural phenomenon, or “meme.” The concept was started in the 1980s by Anne Herbert, a San Francisco-area artist and activist, who wanted to create a parallel to the term “random act of violence,” so often in the news. But what started out as a campaign, almost a piece of performance art, has now become something we humans can do, as part of our social and community behaviours. It shows there is in fact hope for the world. Now I’m going to do a random act of kindness too, but I’m not saying what it is! *** I had the privilege of having dinner at Heidi’s Restaurant on Saturday, March 2, the restaurant’s last night of operation. Restaurants in towns like ours are like homes away from home. The food and beverage business is a tough business, and restaurants come and go. I still
lament the passage of some of my favourites — Casa Della Pasta comes to mind. For me, Heidi’s was always a place for the special occasion, and on that somewhat historic Saturday night memories of dinners and lunches past rolled through my mind. I consider it another sign that the world is headed towards ultimate good that Heidi’s will soon Barry be re-opening in a new exciting guise as a restauCoulter rant/brewhouse. So thanks, Heidi and staff, and good luck in the coming months, and we’ll see you next with schooners in our mitts. *** So, after a slow (and I mean oh so slow) start, those pesky Kootenay Ice have clawed their way into a playoff spot. Now they are busy defending it. Not bad for one of the youngest rosters in the league. I didn’t make it to Saturday night’s famous “Pink The Rink” game, but I did go see the Ice play the Rebels on Friday. An exciting, tough clean game. I predict here that the Kootenay Ice will make the playoffs this year, cause havoc, and next season will be the team to beat. So head on down to the West-Fi — there’s going to be some exciting hockey being played as spring rolls around. *** Speaking of the Kootenay Ice, I noticed that of the 15 seasons they’ve played in Cranbrook, there are two main consistencies. One is the fact that they’ve always made the playoffs. The other is that their goal-scoring song has always been Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “House is Rockin’”
(“When the house is a-rockin’, don’t bother knockin’”). Sports is an immediate, in the moment thing. Players come and go. Records are set and broken. Some teams say “there’s always next year.” But Stevie Ray and his guitar are one of the throughlines of the Ice’s Cranbrook history. The great Stevie Ray died tragically in 1990, only a few years after making the electric guitar and the Blues universally cool again. The fact that he comes roaring over the loudspeakers when a goal is scored — quondam et futuris carmen — is one of the many great things about the WHL in Cranbrook. *** I made a sandwich one morning last week, sliced it in half, and wrapped it up flat. Then for ease of packing, I decided to stack the halves on top of each other. Then I changed my mind again, deciding that flat was better. I automatically went to hit the “command-z” shortcut on a computer keyboard to undo the way I had wrapped the sandwich. I actually spent a full second and a half unconsciously trying to hit “command-z,” and when I realized there was no computer keyboard under my fingers, I spent a further second and a half being confused. Is technology reprogramming my brain for me, or is dementia setting in? Or maybe this is the first step in my invention of a machine whereby I can use a computer to make my sandwiches. (They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t get your computer to make your sandwich!) Barry Coulter is the Editor of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Now normally I don’t frequent the hospital, but lately I find myself dropping loonies into their parking lot’s ticket machine almost daily. My grandpa has been in and out of the hospital and my family has been visiting regularly. The other evening I was waiting for the elevator on the main floor when a poster caught my eye. This poster displays two Aboriginal women and has this caption below their picture: “I’m Aboriginal and say it proudly! Identify yourself as an Aboriginal person to hospital staff and you’ll improve care for you and your family!” This poster really upset me because basically it implies that the hospital provides a basic level of care, but if you tell staff you are Aboriginal your care will be improved. As Canadians I believe we all deserve the same level of care no matter who we are so you could understand my dismay to see it advertised that certain people are offered improved care. I had to take a picture of this poster because I couldn’t believe the hospital would allow this advertisement to be displayed for all to see. I have Aboriginal friends and some Aboriginal family members as well. It is great to know they will get top quality care if they let hospital staff know of their status. It concerns me however that someone else I care about may not receive that same level of care. It would also upset me if I were a care provider at our hospital to have it implied that there is room for improvement in the care they provide. To me this does not reflect greatly on these health care providers and I’m sure they would find it untrue. I have not had any complaints with the care provided to my grandpa, but this advertisement makes me curious as to what improved care would look like. I guess I will have to keep wondering because after all as
this poster seems to say I don’t qualify for it. The only explanation I can come up with is that it is an advertising mistake with poor wording and may not be what the hospital would endorse. In that case advertising approved for posting in such a public place should be further scrutinized by the powers that be. I’m not trying to offend anyone, I just want to advocate for equal care for all Canadians.

Colonialism & Discussion John Nesbitt (Feb. 27 Letters to the Editor) takes exception to my letter entitled “Colonialism”. I’m going to leave his ad hominem criticisms of me where they lie and address the issues under discussion. Mr. Nesbitt had been distressed that he and folks like him weren’t being consulted on the content of the to-be-hoped-for Ktunaxa Treaty. It is a Ktunaxa Treaty, thus involving Ktunaxa and not everyone else (though the heavy hand of the provincial government can be seen as “everyone else”). If we want to be precise, the ultimate locals in the Kootenays are Ktunaxa — and that reality, coupled with Canada’s legislated oppression of Aboriginal peoples known as colonialism, produces Aboriginal status and necessitates the treaty process. Despite Mr. Nesbitt’s adverse reaction, the Constitution, the Supreme Court of Canada, and international law, including the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, will frame the scope and content of treaty negotiation and implementation in Canada. In all of the settler states, including Canada, it is a major challenge getting those with race privilege to grapple with their
histories and with the legacy of oppression of Aboriginal peoples. It may not be easy or comfortable, but until we do so we cannot develop a more robust democracy or a more just society. Far from being a “race card”, this analysis is grounded in law, history, politics and evidence. Joyce Green Cranbrook
Animal Control Bylaw I am writing this letter because in the Daily Bulletin dated February 18, 2013, there was a letter to the editor titled “Three Cheers” by Chris Elliot of Kimberley. It was a very well written letter but unfortunately and, in my opinion, contains a major discrepancy. Obviously Chris Elliot is not aware of the Kimberley off-leash areas (dog parks) and perhaps hasn’t even read the Animal Control Bylaw. I know the owners of the golf courses are powerful but I don’t believe they have the authority to waive the Animal Control Bylaw on their property? I view this letter as an advertisement to all dog owners that it is fine to take their dogs to the Bootleg and Trickle Creek courses and let them run off-leash, which is contrary to the Animal Control Bylaw. I and other people have witnessed dogs at Bootleg Gap chasing deer — in what direction is unknown, but most probably straight into town. If dog owners want to help the city become more efficient and effective in their duties, I would suggest they at least read the Animal Control Bylaw and view the current designated off-leash areas in our community.

Italian election: Grillosconi wins The winner of the recent election in Italy was a mythical beast called “Grillosconi”. That is bad news for Italy, for the single European currency, the euro, and even for the future of the European Union. Not that “Grillosconi” will ever form a coherent government in Italy. The problem is that he — or rather, they — will prevent anybody else from doing that either. The newer part of this hybrid beast is Beppe Grillo, a former stand-up comedian who is essentially an anti-politician. His blog boils with bile against Italy’s entire political class, and his public appearances are angry, foulmouthed, arm-waving rants against the whole system. Raging against Italy’s privileged, corrupt and dysfunctional political class is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but Grillo’s Five Star Movement, which in just a few years grew from nothing to take a quarter of the national vote in last Sunday’s election, has nothing useful to put in its place. Just “throw the bums out”, and the democratic power of the internet will solve all of Italy’s problems. “We want to destroy everything,” Grillo said in a recent interview with the BBC. “But not rebuild with the same old rubble. We have new ideas.” We have heard this sort of talk in Europe before, always from people who turned out to be totalitarians of some sort, whether Communist or fascist. It should not be necessary for Italy to go
through all that again. The older part of the beast is Silvio Berlusconi, the former cruise-ship crooner and billionaire media magnate (he’s the richest man in Italy) whose cynical populism has dominated Italian politics for the past 20 years. For more than half of that time he has been the prime minister, and even when he’s out of power he dominates the political Gwynne stage. Berlusconi is 76 now, Dyer but he still manages to generate constant sex scandals. (His “bunga bunga” parties are notorious, and he currently faces charges in connection with an under-age prostitute.) He has been fighting charges or appealing against convictions for corruption for the whole time he has been in politics, and keeps changing the criminal law to avoid doing jail time. Yet a large number of Italians go on voting for him. Their devotion is even more inexplicable when you recall that Italy has been in steady economic decline for most of Berlusconi’s two decades as the country’s dominant political figure. The Italian economy is smaller than it was 12 years ago, over a third of the under-25s are unemployed, and the state auditor estimates that 60 billion euros is stolen from the national budget by corrupt politicians every year. So 29 per cent of Italians voted for Silvio Berlusconi’s party in the election last weekend, and 25 per cent voted for Beppe Gril-
lo’s. More than half of Italy’s voters preferred some part of the “Grillosconi” monster to more serious politicians who talked about fixing the economy, tackling the budget deficit, fighting organised crime, and reforming the country’s badly broken justice system. The result is political paralysis: no party or group of parties is able to form a stable government, and there will probably be another election within a year. (Only one Italian government in the past seven decades has served out its full five-year term.) But why should we believe that that will produce a better outcome? Grillo confidently predicts that his Five Star Movement will win a majority next time round, and he may well be right. Meanwhile, the Italian economy continues to decay, and the government goes on spending money it does not have. One number says it all: about 70,000 Italian public officials are given cars with chauffeurs. (In Britain, the number is 300.) The risk grows that Italy will need a financial bailout so massive that it causes a collapse of the euro. Why so many Italians put up with this kind of thing passes understanding. But so does the fact that so many of those who are infuriated by it turn to a clown like Grillo, who offers salvation in the form of a webbased direct democracy. The crisis will therefore continue indefinitely. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London.

James, Heat rally past Knicks for 14th straight victory NEW YORK - LeBron James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and the Miami Heat tied a franchise record with their 14th straight victory, rallying to beat the New York Knicks 99-93 on Sunday. Dwyane Wade added 20 points for the Heat, who had to overcome a 16-point deficit to beat the Knicks for the first time in three tries this season. Chris Bosh bounced back from a dismal first half to finish with 16 points. The defending NBA champions won their sixth straight on the road by controlling the final minutes against a team that had a pair of 20-point victories over them this season and looked ready to run them out of the building again. But James shook off a third-quarter leg injury and was back in top form by the finish, putting it away by coming up with a steal and throwing down a dunk with 23 seconds left. Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points for the Knicks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Associated Press
Blackhawks beat Red Wings to keep point streak alive DETROIT - The Chicago Blackhawks have extended their NHL-record, season-opening points streak to 22 games. Patrick Kane scored the tying goal on a power play with 2:02 left in regulation and had the only goal in a shootout, lifting Chicago to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Corey Crawford was perfect in the shootout and finished with 32 saves. The Blackhawks have earned at least a point in 28 straight games - dating to a March 25, 2012 loss in regulation to Nashville - to tie the second-longest streak in league history. Detroit’s Tomas Tatar broke a scoreless tie early in the third period, but the Red Wings couldn’t hold on for a win in regulation that would’ve ended Chicago’s streak. Associated Press

Kootenay Ice forward Luke Philp tips the puck home past Medicine Hat Tigers goaltender Cam Lanigan during WHL action at Western Financial Place on Saturday night.
Ice split weekend with Rebels, Tigers TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Western Financial Place was a sea of pink on Saturday night, as the biggest crowd in more than two years turned out for School Spirit Night to cheer on the Kootenay Ice and take a stand against bullying. Levi Cable had a goal and an assist and goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 35 saves to lead the Ice to a 4-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers. It was what the team needed after falling 4-1 to the Red Deer Rebels on Friday night, as the Ice were beaten down by an aggressive Rebel
forecheck that forced a lot of defensive zone errors. “It was a big bounceback win for us,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “We didn’t have a lot of mental energy yesterday and I think the guys came to the rink today energized and it certainly showed in the first 40 minutes, for sure, and then in the last 10 minutes, I thought we did a good job of keeping them to the outside—I know they scored that goal, but it went off somebody’s chest—so they didn’t outwork us and that’s a good sign.” School Spirit Night had an announced at-
tendance of 4,016, which is the largest regular season crowd in a couple of years,with kids from elementary, middle and high school coming out and wearing pink for Pink Shirt Day, which takes a stand against bullying. Luckily, no fights broke out on the ice. Sam Reinhart kicked off the scoring seven minutes into the game, banging in a fat rebound off a shot from Jagger Dirk at the point. Late in the opening period, Luke Philp doubled the lead when he rushed the net and tipped a cross-ice pass from Levi Cable past Tigers goaltender Cam
Lanigan. Brock Montgomery had the hit of the game when he cruised into the offensive zone corner and levelled Ty Stanton in an open-ice collision just off the corner boards. However, the Tigers managed to get on the board in the second period, when Boston Leier walked in from the blue line an put a low shot past Mackenzie Skapski on the powerplay. Ten minutes later, the Ice restored the two goal lead when Austin Vetterl, who was deep in the Tigers’ zone, fed Tanner Faith at the point. Faith drifted in and ripped a low shot
for his second career WHL goal. “I looked, looked, looked, and finally I saw Faither backdoor, so I passed it over and he had about 10 seconds to put it in, so all in all it was a good job by everyone,” said Vetterl. The Ice nearly did more damage when Jon Martin put a shot off the post—the Ice forward even half-raised his arms in celebration— but there was no goal. The Ice tapered off a bit in the third period, as Medicine Hat played some desperation hockey in order to erase their deficit.

Whitecaps beat Toronto in MLS season opener MONTE STE WART Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - Gershon Koffie’s goal in the 60th minute gave the Vancouver Whitecaps a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday in the 2013 MLS season opener for both teams. Koffie helped the Caps win their season opener for their third year in a row. He scored following some beautiful passing shortly after Vancouver took control of a game that was close
in the first 45 minutes. The Whitecaps won their first-ever MLS game against Toronto in 2011 and beat Montreal in last year’s season opener en route to becoming the first Canadian team to qualify for the league playoffs. “It’s very good to get our first win,” said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. “First game of the season is always a little bit of a nervy affair.” “In the second half, we
changed the system, we changed the way that we played, and I thought we dominated the second half.” The loss spoiled the debut of new TFC coach Ryan Nelsen, a recently retired English Premier League star and New Zealand international, who has undertaken several lineup changes in a bid to improve Toronto’s 10th place Eastern Conference finish in 2012. The Reds demonstrated they
still have much cohesion to develop as they held the Whitecaps to few chances in the first half but surrendered numerous scoring chances in the second. “The second half, we probably just didn’t withstand the 15 minutes that Vancouver had and they got their goal,” said Nelsen. “It was really disappointing, because it was a routine long ball and we didn’t pick up the second ball, and then it resulted in a goal.”

Sports No love for the new rocks at the Brier Donna Spencer Canadian Press
EDMONTON Rogue rocks were the theme of opening weekend of the Canadian men’s curling championship. Skips’ brows furrowed over a new set of curling rocks purchased recently by the Canadian Curling Association. They said some rocks in their set of eight didn’t behave like the others, making it difficult to decide broom placement and weight calls. “There’s a couple pigs out there,” Northern Ontario skip Brad Jacobs observed Sunday at Rexall Place. “Slow, slow cutters. They don’t run true. They stop and die quicker. It’s just a matter of picking up on them as quickly as you can. “I think that’s going to be a common theme this week. You’re going to hear a lot of the curlers say the rocks are tough and they are.” Quebec skip Jean-Michel Menard concurred. “There’s at least one rock per sheet that is way different than the others,” he stated. “You’ve got to stay big-time focused and communicate well with your teammates on which rocks they were throwing. As a skip, it’s very exhausting mentally.” The CCA tested the new rocks first at an Ottawa curling club as well
as at the Canadian junior curling championships last month in Fort McMurray, according to the CCA’s director of championship services. “They were fast and swingy,” Danny Lamoureux said. “These are very good stones and (it was) recommended by our top icemakers that we make this deal. “Every set in the world reacts differently. There’s not a set in the world that are identical. I think one of the issues is, no one has ever seen these before. They don’t have a book on them.” Lamoureux says the Scottish company that produced the stones is the Olympic Games supplier. The stones at this year’s Brier - which cost about $500 apiece plus their $1,000 electronic handles - are twins to the set that will be used in Sochi, Russia, next year. Pre-tournament favourite Kevin Martin of Alberta was uncomplimentary of the rocks as well. He opened the Brier in his hometown with a pair of losses. The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin on Friday make playoffs. “You’re just trying to find a pair that are somewhat near the same,” the veteran skip lamented. “It’s not easy. “As the week goes on, we’ll get that. Hopefully we’re around still by the time we can get them matched up.”
Northern Ontario, Quebec and Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador got out of the gates quickly at the Tim Hortons Brier with 3-0 starts. Jacobs and Menard were done for the day after two victories Sunday, while Gushue had a game at night against New Brunswick. Defending champion Glenn Howard of Ontario and Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton were 2-0 when they met in Sunday evening’s draw, while Martin and B.C.’s Andrew Bilesky were to square off in a battle of the 0-2 teams.
S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Brock Virtue, Jamie Koe of the Territories and James Grattan of New Brunswick were tied at 1-2. Nova Scotia’s Paul Flemming and Prince Edward Island’s Eddie MacKenzie were winless in three games. The coach or alternate on each team is responsible for charting the behaviour of stones on each sheet throughout the tournament. Those that are deemed unruly are given to the leads to throw and get rid of early. Playoff teams also choose stones from different sheets to create
their set, which is another reason for a book on the granite. “I thought we’ve done a pretty good job of scouting them and reading them early in the game and getting rid of the ones that are a little bit straighter and heavier,” Gushue said. “I guess being brand-new rocks, they’re maybe a little bit green and maybe over time they’ll get more consistent. There are some that curl a little bit more and some that are slow and some that are straighter. It’s tough getting sets for everybody.”
With Olympic gold, Gushue is still chasing Brier championship Donna Spencer Canadian Press
EDMONTON - An Olympic gold medal came early in Brad Gushue’s curling career. Winning a Canadian men’s championship is taking longer. “I’m the only curler I think in the world right now that would want to win a Brier more than the Olympics,” said Gushue, who is skipping Newfoundland and Labrador for a 10th time at the Brier. “I think everybody here, I think if you would ask them to take an Olympics or a Brier, they would choose
Olympics. For me, personally, I’d choose the Brier. My teammates might not like that, but I’ve won an Olympics before. This is a special event for me and something I want to check off from the list of goals.” Gushue was just 26 when he and Mark Nichols, Russ Howard and Jamie Korab won men’s curling gold at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Gushue threw fourth stones and was Howard’s vice-skip. It was the first curling gold for a Canadian men’s team after it became an official Olym-
pic sport in 1998. At 32, Gushue is considered a contender going into any Brier because of the Olympic gold. He’s lived up to that billing for the most part despite a lineup change almost every year. Gushue’s teams have made the Brier playoffs six of his previous nine years. He was a runner-up to Glenn Howard at the Tim Hortons Brier in 2007 in Hamilton. He tied for first with Alberta’s Kevin Martin and Jeff Stoughton at 9-2 in the preliminary round in 2011, but lost in the semifinal.
Ice fall to Rebels, but bounce back against Tigers Continued from page 8 However, Kootenay was still dangerous, as Philp nearly scored again on the exact same type of play for his goal, while Vetterl had a shorthanded breakaway. “You don’t get many of those, that’s probably my second-ever breakaway,” said Vetterl. “Once the puck started rolling, I started to panic and I just went to the backhand and it kind of rolled up on me again. He made a nice save.” The Tigers pulled Lanigan for the extra attacker and were rewarded after a shot went of the chest of a Medicine Hat player and deflected past the goal line. After the face-off at centre ice, Medicine Hat pulled the goaltender
again, but Cable managed to chip the puck by the defenceman at the Ice blue line, and beat another Tigers’ player in a footrace to score the empty netter. Jaffray Elementary Junior Secondary School, T.M. Roberts Elementary School and St. Mary’s Catholic Independent School each won $500, which was donated by Western Financial Group, for showing the most school spirit during the night. Every other school that participated also took away $250, on behalf of Murray Floyd at Flaman Fitness. The team was definitely feeding off the energy provided by a packed house, said Vetterl.
“It’s huge. They’re cheering hard, they’re pumping you up, they give that little extra that you seem to get when they’re here. That always helps out a bit and we like that,” he added. The win over the Tigers eliminated the Moose Jaw Warriors and the Regina Pats from the playoffs. It was a better game than the prior night, as the Ice melted under a withering forecheck from Brent Sutter’s Rebels. Cory Millette scored twice for the Rebels, while Brooks Maxwell and Rhyse Dieno rounded out the rest of the goals. Jaedon Descheneau had the only goal for the Ice. Skapski made 22
saves, while Patrik Bartosak turned away 21 shots for the Rebels. “They kind of play a similar style as us,” said Ice defenceman Tanner Muth. “They work really hard and they back check so our forwards aren’t given a lot of time and we’re not getting a lot of time on the defensive end either. “They’re fast, they work hard and they play a good system, so playing against them is always a tough game.” Millette got his first early in the opening period, stuffing a rebound past Skapski. Hayden Fleury hit the post in the following frame, while Bartosak robbed Philp in the slot. Descheneau tied up the game near the half-
way mark, tipping a shot from Joey Leach at the point. However, two minutes later, Millette struck again when he collected the puck in the offensive zone and beat Skapski on a wraparound. Maxwell made it a two-goal lead for Red Deer in the final period, beating Skapski after taking a slap pass from Turner Elson at the point. Rhyse Dieno added an empty net goal with 77 seconds remaining in the affair. Kootenay has seven games left in the regular season—five are against divisional teams. The Ice hit the road for another rematch against the Rebels in Red Deer on Tuesday night.

McIlroy is frustrated but will be fine by Masters, says Nicklaus Doug Ferguson Associated Press
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Jack Nicklaus says there’s no reason to be alarmed: Rory McIlroy is probably frustrated with his game and his adjustment to new equipment. McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world and defending champion at the Honda Classic, caused a stir this week when he walked off the course after eight holes at PGA National when he was 7 over for the second round. He told reporters he was “not in a good place mentally,” and an hour later issued a statement attributing his withdrawal to a sore wisdom tooth. He signed with Nike during the off-season. In three starts this year, McIlroy has missed the cut, lost in the opening round of the Match Play Championship and withdrew from the Honda Classic after 26 holes. “Rory is so talented,” Nicklaus said during a visit to the NBC Sports booth at the Honda Classic. “He’s a good kid. I think he’s a little frustrated, and he’s frustrated at himself right now. He’s probably not playing his best, and he also has a set of golf clubs that he’s having trouble getting used to, and one sort of plays off the other. He’ll be fine. When Augusta rolls around, he’ll be fine.” McIlroy plays out of The Bear’s Club, which Nicklaus built as his
home club for South Florida. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland seeks advice from Nicklaus whenever he sees him. Nicklaus said he last spoke to McIlroy last Monday. “He was struggling a little bit with his irons,” Nicklaus said. “But he felt confident of it. I said, ‘Don’t worry about it. You’re too good of a player. Your clubs will not make that much difference.’ Maybe it’s easy for me to say.”
“I think he’s a little frustrated, and he’s frustrated at himself right now. ” Jack Nicklaus
Nicklaus said he once played three different sets of clubs depending on whether he was in America, Britain or Australia. He played in an era when a smaller golf ball was used specifically for the British Open, which he won three times and was runner-up seven times. “I was able to go back and forth, back and forth. It wasn’t that big of a deal,” Nicklaus said. “Maybe the guys today, maybe they’re so used to having one thing. I always feel like it’s your talent that plays, not the golf club.” McIlroy had said at the start of the week that his swing was more of a problem than his new clubs.

Group calls for B.C. Premier Clark to resign C anadian Press
SURREY, B.C. — Some members of B.C.’s governing Liberal party
are publicly calling for Premier Christy Clark to resign over a scandal involving the wooing of
ethnic voters. The party members describe themselves as “especially with ethnic
background’’ of Indoand South Asian descent. They say they agreed
over a Sunday breakfast meeting in Surrey to call for Clark to step down. Their call comes
hours ahead of an emergency cabinet meet she’s called today to address the scandal.

In a news release the party members say that 89 members passed a one-line declaration because Clark has made “the ethnic vote a joke’’ in the province. Clark issued a letter of apology last Thursday after a plan was leaked that urged the Liberals to co-ordinate resources to focus on winning over ethnic voters. Some Liberal caucus members had openly criticized Clark over the proposed strategy and on Friday she accepted the resignation of her deputy chief of staff, who wrote the document.
Teen stabbed over cigarette C anadian Press
SURREY, B.C. — Police are investigating the stabbing of a 17-yearold boy who was apparently approached by a man attempting to borrow a cigarette. RCMP Staff Sgt. Murray Hedderson says the teen was hit on the head and stabbed in the abdomen when he couldn’t provide a cigarette. Hedderson says the suspect ran off, and the teen walked to a nearby home to have police called after the incident Friday night. He says the youth was transported to hospital by ambulance for non-life threatening injuries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tension forces you to evaluate each request you get today. Recognize that your plate is full. Prioritize your responsibilities, and some stress will evaporate. Avert a misunderstanding by clarifying and confirming information. Tonight: Partake in a favorite pastime. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Sometimes an unimportant interaction can dominate your day. Avoid letting this type of distraction prevent you from dealing with a loved one. You see eye-to-eye with others, as was demonstrated in an earlier meeting. Good news involves a partnership. Tonight: Dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and know full well what must be done. Understand that Lady Luck is riding on your shoulder. You will gain a greater understanding of the interpersonal dynamics of an important partnership. Opportunities come through this per-
son. Tonight: Say “yes.” CANCER (June 21-July 22) Think rather than react. Sometimes you won’t be able to stop yourself, but start the process anyway. Remind yourself of the negativity that can result from knee-jerk reactions. Opportunities will greet you more often with a little self-discipline. Tonight: Get a lot done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Open up your imagination, and let your ideas flow in a more upbeat manner. Others rarely see the complete dimension of your personality, and they could have odd responses at first. You don’t want to push too far to have something go the way you’d like. Tonight: Ever playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are coming from a solid place, where understanding is enhanced to a level that might shock even you. Honor a change that occurs between you and someone else. As a result, you’ll see eye-to-eye with this person. Tonight: Feeling pulled between two different possibilities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Excess spending -- or perhaps a different indulgence -- comes out. You could be too verbal for your own good and end up saying something unintentionally. Keep reaching out to someone at a distance, and show this person that you care. Tonight: Catch up on news. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Curb a need to be possessive or controlling. New beginnings become possible if you allow the other party to have more of a say. Confusion surrounds communication. Confirm that you and others are on the same page. Tonight: Before spending money, check your budget. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Imagine being so stressed out by so many opportunities that you don’t know which way to turn. You might even wonder if there can be such a thing as too much good news. You will tend to overindulge and not be as grounded as you’d like. Tonight: King or Queen of your domain. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You would prefer to be an observer rather than a player
today. You will be subject to several ups and downs as the day goes on. Get some exercise, and make sure that you are eating properly. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. You are going to need it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your friends seem to seek you out. Even in a meeting, nearly everyone acts like your best friend. Listen to what is being shared. Your creativity soars with everything that is happening around you. If you choose to, give others some feedback. Tonight: Take notes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You shoulder many responsibilities. You handle these burdens so well that few people realize how much you actually do. A family member could throw a tantrum, as he or she might feel neglected. Give this person more of your time. Tonight: To the wee hours. BORN TODAY Fashion model Erin Heatherton (1989), composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678), transgender advocate Chaz Bono (1969)

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 18, and my parents recently went through a messy divorce. First my mom moved out. Then my dad moved out a month later because Mom didn’t want him living in our house. She wanted to move back in. I have an older sister and a younger brother. Mom tried to convince us that she missed being with us. But since she moved back in, she is always on the phone or computer or out with her friends. She says it’s her time to have fun and that we’re always criticizing her. She also badmouths my father and tells me things about him that no parent should say. I’ve asked her to stop multiple times, but she won’t. I work long hours in order to contribute to our rent and utilities. My sister and I are essentially raising our younger brother, who has been struggling in school and acting out. Mom is oblivious. I recently got into a huge argument with her about how I spend my money. We didn’t speak for two weeks because she ignored all of my attempts to talk about it. After a while, I stopped trying. Now Mom always favors my sister in any disagreement. We used to be close, but I’ve lost all respect for her. What should I do? I seriously need some advice. -- Lost Child Dear Lost: The divorce has sent your mother over the edge. All of you are under a great deal of stress, and your brother’s problems are undoubtedly intensified by all the chaos in the home. Please talk to your father. Being divorced does not mean he has given up his obligations and responsibilities as a parent. Do not place blame. Simply start by telling Dad that your brother is having problems in school that aren’t being addressed. If you have grandparents, aunts and uncles, lean on them for emotional support when you need to. Your job may offer an employee assistance program that could help, or if you are attending school, talk to your school counselor. Dear Annie: I am home in bed with the flu. In fact, this is the fourth time in the past four months that I’ve missed work due to a virus. I’ve used up my sick leave, so I’m not earning any money, and a lot of my work isn’t getting done by the part-time volunteer who fills in for me. Why am I sick so much? Because business associates come in, lean over my shoulder and say things like, “I ought to be at home. I’m so sick.” I’ve even had clients come in saying they left work feeling ill, but thought they’d stop to see me before they went home. If you are too sick to be in your office, you are too sick to be in mine. When I ask folks to steer clear if they are ill, I’m told that I am unsympathetic and rude. If I miss any more work, I won’t be able to pay my bills. How can I convince people that illness belongs at home? -- Sick of Being Sick Dear Sick: People mistakenly believe it shows loyalty to come to work sick, and unfortunately, many bosses idiotically encourage this attitude. But the end result is more employees contaminating the work environment and getting sick. We can only recommend that you get your daily dose of vitamins and wash your hands frequently. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Grandma,” with the sloppy granddaughter. A co-worker told me what she did. After repeated arguments with her sloppy daughter, she got a big garbage bag and tossed in everything her daughter neglected to put away, including shoes, purses, dresses, cosmetics and electronics. One day her daughter asked, “Have you seen my red shoe?” Mom said she’d have to pay a “finder’s fee” to get anything out of the bag. That was the end of her sloppy ways. -Enlightened Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Accountant with Management Responsibilities
Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
Kootenay Knit and Apparel is seeking a competent accountant with a comfort level to interface with major national accounts and internal customer service responsibilities. The candidate must be self- motivated and prepared to challenge him/herself in a service oriented business.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Smelly deer carcasses dumped in Nanaimo River C ANADIAN PRESS
NANAIMO, B.C. — Marilyn Zink says she’s never seen anything as gruesome as the two dozen animal carcasses that were dumped in the river by her home near Nanaimo, B.C.. Zink said the dead animals, which she believed at first to be goats but were identified by conservation officers as deer, were discovered by her daughter near the popular swimming spot close to the Cedar bridge. She said the sight and smell of the carcasses by the Nanaimo River are a health hazard to the river and its surroundings in the wellknown location. “It’s a really disgusting sight to see and it looks like someone dumped them into the river from the boat launch there. Whoever has dumped them has taken the easy way out.’’ Conservation officer Stuart Bates visited the scene and said the deer appear to have been hunted and, judging from the marks on the bodies, were butchered for their meat and left at the site about a month ago. He said it’s not uncommon to find discarded deer remains along the highways and trails in the region, although it’s rare to find
swimmers in the river. “They are now mostly just bones and are not
dangerous to anyone,’’ he said. “I’d say that during

Marilyn Zink of Cedar and her daughter made a grisly discovery this week when they found someone had dumped two dozen deer carcasses in a popular swimming area of the Nanaimo River. such sites along the Nanaimo River. Bates said the deer-hunting season has been closed since December for most hunters, although First Nations hunters have the right to shoot deer all year. He said that if the perpetrators are identified, they could face charges under the province’s Environmental Management Act for littering and under the Wildlife Act for attract-
ing potentially dangerous predators to the area to feed off the carcasses. “We’re relying on people from the area who may have seen something in an effort to find the person or people responsible for dumping the dead deer,’’ he said. Bates said there are no plans to remove the carcasses and he doesn’t believe they will cause any health hazards to local residents and
Expectant couple headed to hospital die in NYC crash Verena Dobnik Associated Press
NEW YORK — A pregnant young woman who was feeling ill was headed to the hospital with her husband early Sunday when the car they were riding in was hit, killing them both, but their baby boy was born prematurely and survived, authorities and a relative said. The driver of a BMW slammed into the car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the Williamsburg neighbourhood of Brooklyn, said Isaac Abraham, a neighbour of Raizy Glauber’s parents who lives two blocks from the scene of the crash. Raizy Glauber was thrown from the car and her body landed under a parked tractor-trailer, said witnesses who came to the scene after the crash. Nachman Glauber was pinned in the car, and emergency workers had to cut off the roof to get him out, witnesses said. Both of the Glaubers were pronounced dead at hospitals, police said, and both died of blunt-force
trauma, the medical examiner said. Their infant son was in serious condition, said Abraham. The hospital did not return calls about the child. The Glaubers’ driver was in stable condition, police said. Both the driver of the BMW and a passenger fled and were being sought, police said. On Saturday, Raizy Glauber “was not feeling well, so they decided to go’’ to the hospital, said Sara Glauber, Nachman Glauber’s cousin. Abraham said the Glaubers called a car service because they didn’t own a car, which is common for New York City residents. The Glaubers were married about a year ago and had begun a life together in Williamsburg, where Raizy Glauber grew up in a prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbinical family, Sara Glauber said. Raised north of New York City in Monsey, New York, and part of a family that founded a line of clothing for Orthodox Jews, Nachman Glauber was studying at a rabbinical college nearby, said his cousin.
