IIO reports on Cranbrook RCMP shooting Independent investigator of police suggests officer may have committed an offence in an October 2012 shooting SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
B.C.’s independent investigator of police is making a report to Crown counsel over an officer-involved shooting in Cranbrook on October 2, 2012.
“This occurs when the Chief Civilian Director considers that an officer may have committed an offence under any enactment (of the Police Act),” said a news release by the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) on
Wednesday, April 3. In a follow-up interview, Kellie Kilpatrick, the IIO’s executive director of public accountability, said the report by Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal does not mean the RCMP officer will
be charged. “Essentially, the Chief Civilian Director reviews all of the investigative material and must consider if an officer MAY have committed an offence. In this case, he did form that belief that an offi-
cer MAY have committed an offence and thus the report to Crown [emphasis Kilpatrick’s own]. “Our threshold for referral to Crown is significantly lower than Crown’s threshold for charge approval,” said
Kilpatrick. The IIO is called to investigate any police-involved incident where a member of the public dies or is seriously harmed. This is only the second time since the IIO was formed last September that Rosenthal has forwarded a report to Crown counsel.

One person was killed in a motor vehicle accident about one kilometre north of Moyie on Wednesday, April 3. Early reports are that a 2003 Toyota Corolla was travelling south along Highway 3. RCMP said early investigation suggests the car crossed the centre line and collided with a semi travelling north. The occupant of the car died at the scene. Highway 3 was closed for at least three hours as of press time.
According to RCMP statements at the time, at around 8:30 p.m. on October 2, 2012, the 911 centre received a report of an alleged carjacking near Kitchener. A man stopped to pick up two hitchhikers, but his vehicle was stolen and he was ejected from the vehicle. The license plates and description of the stolen vehicle were relayed to Creston, Cranbrook, Kimberley and the Elk Valley. The IIO’s statement upon completing its review on Wednesday, April 3 said that at about 10 p.m., an on-duty RCMP officer responded to the carjacking complaint. Three kilometres south of Cranbrook, the officer saw the subject vehicle. The officer pursued the vehicle.

A position of global significance Cranbrook-raised man lands hard-to-get job with one of the world’s most popular websites
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A 29-year-old man from Cranbrook is blazing trails working for a globally popular social news and entertainment website. Chad Birch, who now lives in Calgary, began working full-time for the San Francisco-based Reddit.com in January 2013. “Having a job that I’m truly excited about is really nice, and makes it so that most of my days hardly feel like ‘work’ at all,” Chad told the Townsman. Massively popular, Reddit allows members of the public to provide links to interesting sites, often related to news and entertainment. Other users of Reddit can then discuss the link and, if they like it, “upvote” the post so that more people will see it. “Reddit is very much a user-run site, and has been described as ‘an engine for creating communities’,” Chad explained. “Popular submissions often generate large discussions in their comments, and it’s possible to find active discussion on Reddit on just about any topic.” According to Alexa. com, which rates websites’ popularity, Reddit is the 55th most popular website in the U.S., and the 122nd most popular website in the world. It is more popular than the New York Times, Skype and Etsy. Last month, more than 54 million people Need help with current events?

“It’s very interesting to be working on such a large-scale site. It’s really neat – and a little terrifying – knowing that the changes I make will be affecting millions of users” Chad Birch
submitted
Chad Birch, raised in Cranbrook, has landed a developer position with Reddit.com. visited Reddit, viewing almost 4 billion pages. “Users can even create and manage their own ‘subreddits’, sections of the site devoted to a particular topic. The site has thousands of active subreddits, with over 100,000 new submissions and millions of comments being posted every day,” Chad said. One of Reddit’s most popular features is the Ask Me Anything series. In February, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield held one of these question-and-answer sessions from the International Space Station, where people could ask him questions online and he was able to answer from space. Presi-
dent Barack Obama also held an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit last August. “AMAs have been done by an incredible range of people – everyone from famous actors, musicians and authors, to people with interesting and unique jobs or living situations, all the way to an astronaut answering questions from the International Space Station and even the President of the United States,” Chad explained. Raised in Cranbrook by parents Dave and Linda Birch, Chad left town to study computer science at the University of Calgary, after graduating from Mount Baker Secondary School in
2001. He met his wife at university, and they now live in Calgary, although they visit family in Cranbrook often. Chad began working full-time for Reddit this January, in a position centring on Reddit Gold, the website’s subscription service. “(Reddit Gold) gives access to some extra features and benefits for members,” Chad explained. “By making Gold more desirable and increasing the number of users that pay for it, we shift towards being more user-supported instead of advertiser-supported, which gives us a lot more freedom overall.” Chad had already been involved with Reddit for years, he went on. “I’ve been quite involved in the site for the past couple of years, including creating various
Public Notice
programs that interact with the site. So I’ve really been working on Reddit for quite a bit longer than I’ve actually been working at Reddit,” he said. When a developer position became available last November, Chad knew some of Reddit’s employees, which helped when he applied for the position. “I went through several phone interviews, flew down to San Francisco for an in-person interview with most of the team, then had a couple more phone interviews before being offered the position. Reddit is still quite a small company, so it’s a major part of their interview process to make sure that any new employees will fit in with the existing team well,” he said. The job means Chad can combine his hobby with his career, he went on. “I was already spending quite a lot of my free time on the site, so it’s definitely great to be able to have it be my actual job now as well,” Chad said. “It’s also very interesting to be working on such a large-scale site. It’s really neat – and a little terrifying – knowing that the changes I make will be affecting millions of users.”

Panebianco keeps bail
The man charged in an April 2012 Invermere death has been allowed to stay out of jail until his trial, after being charged with breaching his bail conditions Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
The man charged with manslaughter over the April 2012 death of Invermere man Cory Jarock was back in Cranbrook court Tuesday for a bail hearing. Crown sought to have Brian Panebianco’s bail revoked after he was charged with breach of recognizance on March 22. Panebianco has been in custody awaiting this hearing since that date. While the details of the breach are protected under a publication ban, Judge Ron Webb found the circumstances were not sufficient to revoke Panebianco’s bail. The 24-year-old man was released back into the custody of his stepfather, to reside at his home in Windermere under house arrest. Judge Webb added a condition to Panebianco’s bail that if his bail supervisor requires Panebianco to report to someone other than the supervisor, Panebianco be given instructions in writing. He is to carry those instructions whenever he leaves his residence, and give a copy to his stepfather. His next court appearance will be on June 10 in Invermere Provincial Court, where he will answer to the breach of recognizance charge, as well as the original charges of manslaughter, criminal negligence causing death, robbery, and assault causing bodily harm. Cory Jarock was found deceased on the driveway of a home in the Fort Point neighbourhood of Invermere on April 3, 2012.

The grim history of segregation in U.S. libraries Mike Selby
For Mrs. Paterson’s Grade 9 English class. It was mid-September in 1963 when two friends — Bob McClain and Quintus Reynolds — began to walk up the small flight of stairs outside the entrance of the public library in Anniston, Alabama. Neither of them made it to the second step. A group of more than 30 suddenly appeared, and began to hit the two friends with closed fists, and wooden sticks. Reynolds was the first to go down, hitting the cement hard. McClain began to simultaneously defend himself and drag Reynolds back to their car, which became more and more difficult as he was now being hit with bicycle chains. McClain finally got his friend into the safety of their car, when a bullet shattered the passenger window. McClain dragged Reynolds back out of the car and — while bricks and glass bottles were now being heaved at them — tried literally to run for both their lives. Fortunately, a motorist who had witnessed the assault sped into the angry mob and rescued them, driving both to the emergency room at the Anniston Memorial Hospital. While both men were covered in numerous cuts and abrasions, Reynolds had been stabbed twice, and would spend months recovering. McClain and Reynolds weren’t only just friends — they were both ministers of their respective churches, both husbands and fathers, and both lifelong residents of Anniston.
MIKE’S BOOKNOTES
Mike Selby They were also both African-American, and on that fateful day in 1963, they had both tried to simply check out a book at the public library. As the Civil Rights Movement exploded across the United States, the media of the time was able to show the rest of the world images of horrific racial violence. And while some of the bravest people of the 20th century risked their lives for the right to simply order a cheeseburger, ride a bus, or use a clean water fountain, there was another virtually unheard of struggle — this one for the right to read. Although illegal, racial segregation was strictly enforced in a number of American states, and public libraries were not immune. Although African-Americans (who typically made up half or more of a city’s population) paid the very taxes which funded libraries, they were in no way allowed to use them. If a community felt somewhat paternal, it would build a “separate but equal” Negro library. These were far from equal though, located in abandoned shacks and basements, with an inferior book collection and an un-

Should an African-American express a need for a book which only the white library had, the white library would first order a new copy for their branch (at cost to the Negro branch). Only when they received their new copy would they send their used copy to the Negro branch. The disgusting belief that “once black hands had touched a book it could not return to general circulation” was written into many libraries’ policies. The integration movement against public libraries began on April 2, 1960, when a dozen high school students in Danville, Virginia, were refused service at that city’s public library. The students filed a lawsuit against the city, and a federal judge ordered the library to immediately desegregate. The city responded to the federal court order by closing the library. Finding themselves quickly back in court, the city claimed the library closed due to being “overtaxed.” Not amused and “unconvinced by the charade,” the court ordered Dan-
ville to reopen their library and desegregate it. This ruling (Giles v. Library Advisory Committee of Danville) sparked off a series of library protests throughout the American South. Some cities quietly desegregated, hoping to avoid any adverse and embarrassing publicity. Montgomery, Alabama was not one of them. When their library was ordered to desegregate in 1962, they responded badly. This was their second lawsuit, having been ordered to integrate all public facilities in 1959. Instead of complying, the city shut down all 14 of its public parks, cemented in their swimming pools, tore up their golf courses, and sold off all the animals in their zoo. This time, instead of closing their library, they engaged in “vertical integration”— a surprisingly common practice of removing all of the furniture from the library, making it impossible for different races to mix. The federal court was no more amused with Montgomery than it was with Danville, even when Montgomery told the court there “were no colour restrictions” at
their library, and that “there is probably one African-American who owned a card for the main branch.” Upon learning that Montgomery had a black population of 46,000, the court “found it inconceivable that there was only ‘possibly one’ among this number that held a library card… unless there is and has been an effective exclusion of members of that race.” The newly desegregated library opened its doors on August 2, 1962. A crowd made up of the Ku Klux Klan surrounded the building, but so did the state police and the FBI. High school student Robert Cobb was the first African-American to enter the library, checking out a copy of ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’ He was followed by a contingent of small children who — hearing the city had removed the library’s furniture —

n Tuesday I hit a pothole so hard I thought I’d given myself a concussion. I was driving through the Baker Hill neighbourhood of Cranbrook when it struck. It was right in the intersection of 3rd Street South and 13th Avenue, and surfaced with gravel so it was even harder to see than potholes usually are. I was amazed at the level of violence that occurred as I drove into it — it was like a head-on collision with an invisible car. My head whipped back and forth on my neck, and I would have screamed if I hadn’t bit my tongue so hard at the same time. I had to pull over, and after a moment got out to see if the car was all right. I’ll find out for certain, I suppose, when the rear wheel falls off. If I drive headlong into your car in the coming days, don’t be surprised — I’m afraid my tie-rods will have snapped off by then. I’ve driven by the pothole since, with the same impulse that prompts the cat to approach the violent chained-up dog. I stare at it, fascinated. I’ve walked on it. I’ve seen many extreme disturbances on the good ol’ roads of Cranbrook, but this pothole feels like it’s uniquely mine. Or rather, I belong to that particular pothole. We share a common destiny. Now, for years I’ve driven up and down 4th Street South, so I thought I knew everything there was to know about potholes, sinkholes, wormholes, shellholes, foxholes, bugholes, ratholes, hellholes, and the sundry “holes” of our streets that make the surface of the moon seem like a roller-skating rink by comparison. But now I
see that I’ve known nothing at all. I now understand that these things are organic, alive and motile — that is, they can move about. I don’t know if they are malicious, but then again, is the lion being malicious when it clamps its jaws around your neck? It’s pothole season, they say. Potholes only exist as energy during the winter, then frost heave turns this energy into matter, and the potholes awaken. They wake up hungry — hungry for destruction — and begin their jellyfish-like drift around the streets of Cranbrook, hunting automobiles, setting their traps, biding their time, until Barry their prey — yours truly — stumbles right in. Coulter If all this sounds like I’m complaining about our streets, oh no, I’m not. In some ways, I’m proud of the topographical personality of our streets. We live in Cranbrook, we drive our streets without fear. I also understand that this is the fate of all towns built on swamps, of which there seems to be a surprising large number in the world. Colonel James should have drained that swamp before paving it over. But now it’s too late, and we must live with the potholes, much like the gazelles live in harmony with the lions. A politician could get elected by a landslide just by promising to fix roads, and nothing more. People would flock to vote for him or her, even giving up certain other election expectations — improving the business climate, for instance. However, that would be akin to that same politician selling us the above-mentioned swampland as the perfect platform for perfect roads.
The City of Cranbrook owns 158 kilometres of roads valued at $178 million. To bring all these roads to an “acceptable” condition (the City’s term, in a recent engineering report on the matter), the City would need to spend $59 million this year alone. Each following year, according to that same report, the City would need to spend $4.2 million to keep these roads maintained. This year, the City has enough money to finish 14th Avenue South (which they’ve been working on for a couple of years), and the rest of their budget will go to fixing 2nd Street South (pending approval). They’ll start at the highway, and work east until the money runs out. Fair enough — these streets are major arteries. I’ll look forward to bombing down 2nd Street next year without all that curious bobbing, weaving and swerving from side to side that we Cranbrook drivers practice to avoid the holes. As for the neighbourhoods and the sidestreets and my driving thereon, well, as I said, I will live in natural harmony with my predators. And if you happen across a monster pothole at the intersection of 3rd Street South and 13th Avenue, remember, that one’s mine! And this … Further to last week’s Reader’s Choice Awards, a story on the top votes for favourite City Councillor neglected to mention that Cranbrook Councillor Sharon Cross also placed in third place bronze position, along with Angus Davis. Certainly, in her first term, Cross has proved to be a dynamic and effective councillor. The Townsman apologizes to Councillor Cross for the omission.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Heritage Thank you to those people who have taken the time to contact us about the brick garage behind City Hall. While there is some question about its heritage value there is no question that the building is old! The discussion about the fate of the building has been a very public one. It first came before Council on September 10, 2012 and after discussion and debate Council decided to refer the question of its demolition to our Wellness and Heritage Committee for recommendation. On October 22, 2012, the Committee asked that Council delay making a decision until there could be a review undertaken of the architectural merit of the structure, the history of the building, and what it would cost to make it structurally safe. Council agreed and KLB Engineering was contracted to complete an as-
sessment. On March 18, 2013 City staff submitted a summary report to Council that stated: 1) The building was deemed to not have any significant architectural or historical value; 2) Cost to taxpayers to make the building structurally safe was prohibitive — $135,000 minimum; 3) That if the building is demolished that an accurate photo record should be taken and that the bricks be salvaged and re-used if possible. Council then made the decision to take the building down and save as many of the bricks as possible for future City improvement projects. Council continues to believe that investing $135,000-plus of taxpayer’s dollars in this particular building would not be appropriate. However, we also believe in respecting the concerns of our citizens
and giving them the opportunity to step forward — after all this is your City. We will delay the demolition of this building until after April 26, 2013, in order to give citizens the opportunity to determine the feasibility of realistically raising the $135,000 AND to recommend a possible long-term suitable use for a reconstructed building. If this is not forthcoming we will proceed with taking down the garage and will look for a new home for the bricks in an upcoming City project. We appreciate and share your interest in our City’s past, and encourage everyone to come to or watch Council meetings so that you stay current on what is happening in our great city and be informed on what is proposed for the future. Thanks again for caring! Mayor Wayne Stetski City of Cranbrook
Bluffs, and a second Korean War
T
he US-South Korean military exercises will continue until the end of this month, and the North Korean threats to do something terrible if they do not stop grow more hysterical by the day. Last week the Great Successor, Kim Jong-un, was shown signing a decree that ordered North Korea’s long-range missile forces to be ready to launch against the United States, while senior military officers looked on approvingly. On the wall behind Kim was a map, helpfully labelled “US Mainland Strike Plan”, that showed the missile trajectories from North Korea to Hawaii, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Austin, Texas. (Why Austin? Doesn’t he like indie rock?) It was a scene straight out of the villain’s lair in an early James Bond movie, except that they’d forgotten to set it in a cave. These threats are so palpably empty that the instinct of both the Pentagon and the US State Department is just to ignore them. North Korea has no operational missile that can reach even western Alaska, no miniaturised nuclear warhead to put on such a missile, and no long-range targeting capability. But the politics of the situation demands that the US government respond seriously to every threat, however foolish. So next year the US government will spend another billion dollars or so to place fourteen more anti-ballistic missile sites in Alaska, presumably to protect the Alaskan west coast and the Aleutian Islands from a North Korean nuclear strike. And last Friday it sent two B-2 bombers all the way from Missouri non-stop to drop bombs on some uninhabited islands near North Korea, just to remind Pyongyang that it can. It’s all still just a charade, a spring display of military capacities by two rival
armed forces that could as well be rutting deer. The United States would not even play this game if the logic of both international and domestic politics did not oblige it to respond to the increasingly rabid North Korean threats. But it is playing nevertheless, and the risk of miscalculation is quite serious. Anybody who tells you he KNOWS what is going on inside the North Korean regime is a liar, but there are a few safe assumptions. Real decision-making power on war and peace almost certainly lies with the senior ranks of the North Korean army, not with young Mr Kim or the Communist Party. It’s also clear that Kim, new to Gwynne power and insecure, feels the need to look tough, just Dyer as his father did when he inherited the leadership from Kim’s grandfather. And nobody in the North Korean regime knows how things work in the rest of the world. They may even be genuinely afraid that the US-South Korean military exercises, although they have been held annually for decades, are this time only a cover for a plan to attack North Korea. After all, the regime’s founder, Kim Ilsung, concentrated his forces under cover of military exercises in just that way when he invaded South Korea in 1950. The North Korean military doubtless understand that they must not get into a nuclear war with the United States, but they may believe that their dozen or so nuclear weapons make it safe for them to use conventional force without facing American nuclear retaliation. And they do have rather a lot of conventional military force at their disposal. Kim Jong-un’s threats are being exposed as bluffs almost daily – the USSouth Korean military exercises go on as though he had said nothing – and he may ultimately feel obliged to DO something
to restore his credibility. It would probably be just a limited local attack somewhere, but in the current atmosphere, with both Seoul and Washington determined not to submit to psychological blackmail, that could escalate rapidly to full-scale conventional war. It would be a major war, for although North Korea’s weapons are mostly last-generation, that is not such a big handicap in ground warfare as it is in the air or at sea. North Korean troops are well-trained, and there are over a million of them. Moreover, South Korea is compelled to defend well forward because holding on to Seoul, only 50 km (30 miles) from the frontier, is a political imperative. That makes it quite vulnerable to breakthroughs. The North Koreans would attack south in a three-pronged thrust, accompanied by Special Forces operations deep in South Korean territory, just as they did in 1950. The geography gives them few alternatives. US-South Korean strategy would also echo 1950-51: contain the North Korean attack as close to the border as possible, and then counter-attack up the west coast on an axis heading north through Kaesong to Pyongyang. That would once again be accompanied by a big amphibious landing well behind the North Korean front, this time probably at Wonsan on North Korea’s east coast. Even if the North Korean air force were effectively destroyed in the first couple of days, as it probably would be, this would be a highly mobile, hardfought land war in densely populated territory involving high casualties and massive destruction. The world has not seen such a war for more than fifty years now. We really don’t need to see it again. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Japan hands Canada its second loss at men’s curling worlds MONTE STE WART Canadian Press
VICTORIA - Brad Jacobs did not hold anything back. The skip explained how he really felt - unimpressed - with his efforts as Canada split a pair of games Wednesday at the world men’s curling championships. Jacobs’ Northern Ontario rink beat Russia’s Andrey Drozdov 8-5 in the afternoon. The victory atoned for a 10-8 loss to struggling Japan in the morning. “It was another frustrating game,” said Jacobs after the victory over Russia. “Today, I couldn’t buy a shot, it seemed like. A lot of the ones where we normally will make them on my last ones, we’re just not quite getting them. “For me, as well as the whole team, it’s very frustrating, but we were able to just grind it out - just being exhausted - and still get a
win out of that last game, and we’re remaining in first place in the round-robin. So we’re in a great spot.” Heading into Thursday’s games against Denmark and Sweden, the Canadians (7-2) have a strong chance of finishing first or second and getting two cracks at reaching Sunday’s final. “Our fate’s in our own hands,” said Canadian third Ryan Fry. “If we win the morning game (against Denmark), we give ourselves a pretty reasonable shot of being in the one-two (playoff ) game, and being in the one-two game is gravy on top of making the playoffs.” The home squad didn’t play like a top contender against either Russia or Japan. But Fry said the hosts always have to battle against teams that raise their games simply because they are facing Canada.

The Mount Baker Wild senior girls soccer team is kicking off their season with a trip to Kelowna this weekend for their first tournament. The girls have been
College of the Rockies
practicing for the last two weeks, and are ready to put their skills to the test against some tough competition in the Okanagan. “We’ve done some inside training, we’ve done some weight lifting and just some indoor scrimmages, but other than that, we’ve just started,” said Alexandra Juricic, a Grade 12 student athlete. Head coach Jimmy Robinson is leading the
19-member team again this year and he’s already liking some of what he’s seeing from the new squad. “I’m seeing that they are a really solid group, not just on the field,” Robinson said. “They’re good people, and that’s something that as a coach, you can build on. You can teach skill, you can teach speed and shooting and ball control and stuff, but they’re
good people.” Juricic agrees. “We have quite a family this year,” she said. “We’re probably the closest group that I’ve been involved with the past three years.” The Wild will head to Immaculata Catholic Regional High School in Kelowna for the tournament, which should give them a good indication of how they stack up to other teams.

“The seniors, especially, know the game really well and what we need to do is just get everybody on the same page,” said Robinson. “They need to realize that there are roles that they need to play—some will play more than others, some are going to more offensively-minded, some are going to be more defensively-minded.” While getting on the pitch is something everyone is looking forward to, there’s also the other side of the experience— namely a road trip that will help the team bond. “We haven’t played together as a team yet, so we’ll definitely see that, and see our weakness and see our strengths and work on it,” said Juricic.

Luongo remains a Canuck on NHL’s trade deadline day C anadian Press
VANCOUVER - The NHL trade deadline passed with Roberto Luongo still in Vancouver, and the Canucks goaltender gave a refreshingly blunt answer for a possible reason why. “My contract sucks,” Luongo said with uncommon candour at a post-deadline news conference Wednesday. “It’s a big factor in trading me and why I’m probably still here. I’d scrap it if I could right now.” Luongo, who has 10 years remaining on a 12year contract worth US$64 million, asked for a trade in the off-season after being supplanted by Cory Schneider as the No. 1 netminder in Vancouver. Despite being the subject of months of trade rumours, Luongo will remain with the Ca-
nucks for the rest of the season, serving as Schneider’s backup. Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis spoke with five teams in the past six months, but no deal could be made. “I do feel obligated to trade Roberto and get him into position where he’s happy and competing the way he likes to and the level he’s accustomed to,” Gills said. “The needs of our team also play a role in this. Trying to balance them is a difficult thing.” Gillis said getting the right compensation in return has been the biggest stumbling block in dealing the 34-year-old netminder. He also said that there have been deals on the table that Luongo turned down, since he has a no-movement clause in his contract.
As for Luongo’s comments about his contract, Gillis is chalking that up to an emotional response. “At the time (Luongo’s contract) was done, it was very favourable for this organization and very favourable for Roberto,” Gillis said. “The top teams in the league that were competing for Stanley Cups did contracts like this for franchise players. “These days are very emotional for everybody. When you have a day like this where your whole life can be turned upside down and then you speak to (the media) right after, there’s a chance for things to be said that in the clear light of day might not be reflective of how he really feels.” Luongo was taken off the ice 10 minutes early
Wednesday at practice as the 3 p.m. ET deadline loomed, fuelling Twitter speculation that something may be in the works. NHL Trades NHL clubs made 17 trades involving 30 players today prior to the 3 p.m., ET, trade deadline. Following is a list of the transactions: -Anaheim traded C Brandon McMillan to Phoenix for C Matthew Lombardi. -Anaheim traded G Jeff Deslauriers to Minnesota for future considerations. -Boston traded C Maxime Sauve to Chicago for C Rob Flick. -Buffalo traded RW Jason Pominville and Buffalo’s fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft to Minnesota for LW Johan Larsson, G
Matt Hackett, Minnesota’s first-round pick in 2013 and second-round pick in 2014. -Calgary traded LW Blake Comeau to Columbus for Columbus’ fifth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. -Carolina traded LW Jussi Jokinen to Pittsburgh for a conditional pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. -Colorado traded D Ryan O’Byrne to Toronto for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. -Columbus traded G Steve Mason to Philadelphia for G Michael Leighton and Philadelphia’s third-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.
-Columbus traded RW Derek Dorsett, C Derick Brassard, D John Moore and Columbus’ sixth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft to N.Y. Rangers for RW Marian Gaborik, D Blake Parlett and D Steven Delisle. -Florida traded C Jerred Smithson to Edmonton for Edmonton’s fourth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. -Nashville traded RW Martin Erat and C Michael Latta to Washington for C Filip Forsberg. -Nashville traded D Scott Hannan to San Jose for a conditional pick in the 2013 NHL Draft. -Ottawa traded G Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay for
C Cory Conacher and Philadelphia’s fourthround pick in the 2013 NHL Draft (previously acquired). -Phoenix traded LW Raffi Torres to San Jose for Florida’s third-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft (previously acquired). -Phoenix traded LW Steve Sullivan to New Jersey for New Jersey’s seventh-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft. -Pittsburgh traded G Patrick Killeen to Columbus for future considerations. -St. Louis traded D Wade Redden to Boston for a conditional pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Martial artists bring home the medals Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
The Dragon School of Korean Martial Arts has been busy over the last few weeks, representing Cranbrook at tournaments in Fernie and Calgary with some impressive showings. The Fernie event included five athletes from the the Dragon School that medaled for the provincial World Karate Championships. Isaac
Pocha, 12, competed in the red belt division and won silver in continuous sparring. Adam Thibeault, competing in the adult yellow belt division, won bronze in points sparring and silver in continuous sparring. Mitch Carere won bronze in patterns while competing in the adult red belt division, while Curtis Pocha, the chief instructor, won bronze
in patterns and points sparring, with a silver in continuous sparring in the adult black belt division. Curtis Pocha and Carere both qualified for WKC nationals in Ottawa in May. Following their success in Fernie, the Dragon School headed to Calgary for the World Taekwondo Tournament of Champions, hosted by Victory Mar-
tial Arts. Isaac Pocha won silver in patterns and sparring, while Thibeault took silver in patterns and gold in sparring. Carere won silver in patterns and gold in sparring, and Curtis Pocha earned a gold in patterns and bronze in sparring. The Dragon School will return to Calgary for the Western Canadian Taekwondo Championships in May.
Local dojo hosts self defense seminar Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
The Rocky Mountain Kyokushin Karate Dojo hosted its first Goshin jitsu (self defence) seminar over the past weekend. Instructors for the event included Don Corrigal, 6th dan (master instructor) from the
Rocky Mountain Club; Alex Munoz, 4th dan in jujitsu from the Invermere club; Fred Gietz, senior Judo instructor from the Fernie Judo Club; and Daymon Miller, 2nd dan in judo, shodan in Kyokushin karate who has trained as a boxer and mixed martial artist, who came
in from Invermere. Featuring roughly 20 participants from clubs around the region and as far away as Calgary and Vancouver Island, the seminar was split into two parts on Saturday. For the first half of the day, the event focused on disciplines
such as dodging, joint and takedown techniques and chokes. The second half of the day focused on ground, hold down, guard and escape techniques. Following their training, the group finished off the day with a dinner at Sakura’s Japanese Restaurant.

To deny, is it mine? I hate that it’s inscribed in me Frustrating, irritating, engrained literacy Constantly hearing, murmuring echoing. Speaking softly but sundering me upon disassociation or mistaken reality. It makes me different; Uniquely and attractively ugly. When I have no one else, desolation at my feet From violent speaking, dealing with negativity to what I believe Informing they disagree Stuck up, selfish They are merely spare opinions, is what I strive to conceive

The Incentive for my Script
ingly, exposing Pushing me hypothetically
This is the first in a series of weekly submissions from Carrie Blais’s Creative Writing class at Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbook. The theme the instructor gave for the first series was “Why I Write.” Cassidy Silver presented her submission in blank verse form.
But they convince me Deeply, inwardly And say that my choices are at fault, while staring crookedly Like those to affirm the duty to succeed financially You cannot survive without the money Sometimes I aspire to be Professionally, athletically and dully business inclined To blend in and be worldly But that’s not what I’m meant to be These sheets whispering No pain from what I posses to speak Amity, discerning similarity A friend not judging to curse me It’s mine alone but spoken twice, imitating, deriving from a new mind Lucidly, inevitably not hesitantly The dispute is dissevered between a pen, to glide in racing meditating, manuscripting feeling
It eradicates the chains to bring a peace that’s godly It must not be veridical, but it will be authentic and I abide to write it down Preceding something new It comes lightly, ever flowing smoothly, branding the lines darkly It helps me breathe Life is alive but not lively to me I can devise what I want it to be A record of letter made paintings Presented so much more brightly than what I perceive to encompass me Pulling, saying stare at me, figure out my meaning Having many to match the different colored eyes You’ll never win The prize taunts you, though you’ll never know what it will be I dream my product in finishing, constantly labouring to see a perfect masterpiece
What does it do but turn on me, still beautifully, but resolutions divergently Not set out originally but it tells me a new story. Welcoming thankfully and progressing to new things Ideally pleasing, hopefully I hate journaling They claim to write lyrically Just making me angry It’s oh so boring and put together so un-decoratively They keep it under lock and key How can they call it poetry when they hide it from visual ability In a book the hold in secrecy I write artfully, to create an imaginary land for society Flaring up troubles we abide daily causing them to be seem beautifully For sake of changing history I make legends musically To express the things I’m feeling Inspiration strikes it’s beat increas-

BC TRANSIT - TRANSIT FUTURE BC Transit, in partnership with the City of Cranbrook, is undertaking a Transit Service Review. This service review will analyze how transit service meets current and future community needs and will ultimately make recommendations on opportunities to make transit as attractive and cost-effective as possible.
To admit that Under nothing but uncertainty Do I write these phrases following Printing out the map to put me back comfortably Never mind to know what it will cause beneath my feet On the road I travel attentively Sometimes awakening new goals dreams I’ve grasped ignorantly
Hereafter entirety I’ve told you discreetly You pursue to question The obsession with the accounts that construct my own dictionary Taking hold of what you think, is there only passively But honestly, this anatomy is permanent. I don’t need a similar soul, to mock those who haunt me Please, it’s only a conspiracy, simple stupidity. I will demise when expire, nothing but the pages of my life for you to read I inform you so openly Mothering these numerous regalia communicating Is my destiny whether appreciated or despised I wish to make something worth remembering eternally

wide world Dive into nature’s workshop – the Galapagos Islands Mountain City travel professional Kim Murphy loves the incredible natural diversity of the Galapagos
T
he Galapagos is the stuff bucket lists are made of. It also happens to be a photographer’s playground. This volcanic archipelago is one of the world’s most captivating and fragile destinations, teeming with wildlife and plant life you won’t find anywhere else on Earth. Located 972 kilometres off the western coast of Ecuador, 18 islands and over 100 islets form the Galapagos archipelago. A two and a half hour flight from Quito takes you to Baltra, the world’s first eco-friendly air terminal, which became fully operational just last week. A brilliant way to see the Galapagos is on a small sailing vessel. Explore remarkable islands where wildlife has no fear of humans. Walk among birds and marine iguanas (at a safe distance), and snorkel with sea lions. You will
be wowed by giant tortoises, and sure to marvel at the amazing shade of blue of the Blue-Footed Boobie. Approximately three million years old, Espanola Island is one of the oldest in the Galapagos archipelago. Wildlife is the highlight of Espanola, and star of the show is the waved Albatross. These yellow-billed, ivory-necked birds mate for life. Don’t be surprised if you’re joined by some friendly sea lions while snorkelling off Gardner Bay and Punta Suarez. Floreana’s biggest draw is snorkelling at Devil’s Crown, a sunken volcanic crater with an abundance of aquatic life. A glow-in-the-dark coral backdrop makes it easy to see vibrant manta rays, king angelfish, puffers, surgeon fish and red-lipped batfish in the clear waters. Floreana’s sandy beaches are a sight to behold
Sea lions frolic in the shallows of the Galapagos. Looking for someone to snorkel with? and the quirky Post Office Bay is fun. The only way postcards make it out of the box is if other visitors hand-deliver
them to their destinations once they return home. Ecuador’s focus on preservation is no more
evident than at the Charles Darwin Research Station on the island of Santa Cruz – the most developed part of
the archipelago. Here, 200 scientists and volunteers man the station, with one of the most famous conservation ef-
forts being a captive breeding program for giant tortoises. Check out these giant creatures and learn about Charles Darwin’s studies of Galapagos wildlife. This is a small snapshot of a few islands of the Southern Island Group. There are many more islands to discover. Know that a typical day frolicking in the Galapagos is walking through a live nature documentary. If you’d like to learn more about nature’s workshop or live out your life-long dream, call the travel pros at Mountain City Travel. Even better, jump aboard a yacht-like Catamaran, exploring the Galapagos in April 2014. Our private, luxury Catamaran accommodates 16 passengers only. We can’t wait to hear from you.

PRESIDENT’S
Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District
New Green Tourism Certification for Canada
REPORT
Mike Adams
T
he first quarter of 2013 has been a very busy and productive one for the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce. I wanted to discuss an issue that the chamber gets asked about a few times through the year. We are asked by individuals and businesses what they can do if they have a complaint regarding a Chamber member. Often the local Chamber of Commerce is asked to deal with the complaint regarding the business. Unfortunately this is not something that the Chamber handles. The BC Chamber of Commerce website has an FAQ section on its site and actually has the following question on it: I have a complaint about a business; can I lodge it with the Chamber? The Chamber does not adjudicate business disputes. Contact the Better Business Bureau or Consumer Protection BC. While the BC Chamber suggests speaking with organizations like the Better Business Bureau
or Consumer Protection BC, we do suggest other alternatives first. Our local Chamber always recommends, if you have a complaint regarding a local business, let that business know. Often people are silent with their complaints and the result is that the business has no idea there was something that was done that upset a customer. Speak with the owner or manager first and let them know what the issue is. In most cases this is the best and quickest way to get your complaint handled. As a last resort, we would recommend the above sites. Now that we are into April, BC no longer has HST but now back to PST and GST. As businesses, it is important
to ensure you have registered for PST if needed, and that you are now invoicing your customers with either both taxes or back to just GST if your sales are PST exempt. As consumers, you will note that for many goods the tax is the same as you were paying before, but it is now separated between the two taxes rather than combined into one. If you are purchasing “services” many of those items will now be back to 5% tax rather than 12% that was charged before. Some of the common purchases that will now have reduced tax include: restaurant meals, admission fees to sporting events/concerts, hair-cuts, and many fees for labour.

For a more complete list of what is taxable under PST and what’s not can be found on the Government of BC website at www.gov. bc.ca and entering “What’s taxable under PST and what’s not” in the search box of the site.

Fuel oil 80% mid efficiency equipment
Switch to natural gas and save Natural gas offers convenience, comfort and affordability. And when you switch from fuel oil or propane to a high-efficiency natural gas heating system, you could get a $1,000 rebate.3 To learn more, visit fortisbc.com/switchnshrink. These are approximate annual natural gas costs for space heating of a typical household in specific FortisBC service areas as identified. A typical household is defined as an existing single family house approximately 2,300 square feet with three occupants, average insulation and heating systems older than 15 years. The savings will be the difference between what you pay for current heating costs and natural gas costs. Calculations based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of January 2013 and fuel oil rates in each service area identified as of November 2012, and include the applicable carbon tax. Savings may vary by household. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives. 1
Fuel rates for the Columbia region are similar to those of the Interior south and Interior north regions as of January 2013.

Unlike other programs, operators do not score and rate themselves, lending more credibility to the label for the green-conscious customer looking to avoid green washing. In addition to the verification, GTC also provides practical tools for businesses to deliver meaningful environmental and social benefits that can be promoted locally and internationally. Origi-
nally piloted in British Columbia in 2010, there are 26 certified tourism operators across the province who have benefitted from the program. The two co-founders and directors of Green Tourism UK finalized the new partnership in Canada during a recent visit to British Columbia. The trip included meetings with a number of key regional tourism organizations who were supportive of the new delivery arrangements with GreenStep.

US state’s Senate approves gun control measures in wake of school mass murder Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. — Lawmakers in Connecticut state, where a gunman killed 20 children and six educators in one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, approved a package of gun control measures described by supporters as the most comprehensive in the country. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama visited Denver on Wednesday, stepping up his call for universal background checks for gun buyers as well as his demands for Congress to at least vote on an assault weapons ban and limits on large-capacity ammunition magazines. Obama’s trip was heavy with political symbolism because Colorado has expanded gun control laws despite being a state where gun ownership is a cherished right. Colorado was the site of a mass shooting at movie theatre last summer that killed 12 people. Obama said on the steps that Colorado has taken recently to tighten its gun laws show ``there doesn’t have to be a conflict’’ between keeping citizens safe and protecting Second Amendment rights to gun ownership. “I believe there doesn’t have to be a conflict in reconciling these realities,’’ he said. Such shootings as the one in Colorado have sparked a growing divide in the U.S., as Obama champions more gun control and the powerful National Rifle Association gun lobby maintains that more guns keep people safer and have succeeded in blocking many efforts to impose stricter gun control citing the right to bear arms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. In Connecticut, the Senate voted 26-10 in favour of the gun control bill, which must now go to the state House of Representatives, where it was expected to pass. It would then be sent to Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. The legislation adds more than 100 firearms to the state’s assault weapons ban and creates what officials have called the nation’s first dangerous weapon offender registry as well as eligibility rules for buying ammunition.. Malloy, a Democrat, has said he’ll sign the
legislation into law. Gun rights advocates question whether the legislation would have done anything to stop
Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old who blasted his way in to the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecti-
cut on Dec. 14. With Congress due to return to Washington after a two-week Easter holiday break, Obama
has been scheduling high-profile events on gun legislation to push lawmakers and sustain a drive for some kind of
action aimed at curbing gun violence. But with just days left before the Senate begins its debate, there were
signs that sweeping congressional efforts to address gun violence have flagged.

The coroners service says she was snowboarding with other students when she disappeared. Search teams found her body the next morning in a creek in an outof-bounds area near Blackcomb.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You sense that a restriction might not be long term, even if the other party declares it so. A conversation lets you see beyond the obvious, which allows greater give-and-take. Know that optimistic thinking creates positive happenings. Tonight: Where friends can be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pressure builds because someone you care about is quite difficult and demanding. You can do emotional somersaults, but nothing will make a difference until this person wants to change. Indulge yourself, and buy that item you have been coveting. Tonight: In the limelight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to others, and make plans that seem copasetic for the weekend. You could be overwhelmed by what is happening. If you feel tired, take a break from the matter at hand. Trust yourself to make the right move. Tonight: All smiles. Make plans for the weekend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be overwhelmed by what a partner dumps on you. Your creativity seems to be a function of interest at the moment, and you are not up for everything that is on your plate. Take a walk. Your enthusiasm will stimulate your energy. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others in a situation that takes an unpredictable turn. You are overserious regarding a personal or domestic matter. Don’t avoid a meeting or a get-together with a friend -- this person always seems to help you lighten up. Tonight: Start making some weekend plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a loved one who is so full of energy that he or she might exhaust you. Honor prior professional commitments, despite all of the pressure that is on you. Someone throws you a curveball, which makes you wonder which way to go. Tonight: Honor your priorities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Know when enough is enough. You can achieve a lot of your goals if you relax. Think positively about a potentially difficult matter. You might end up breezing right through it, especially if you relax and detach from what triggers you. Tonight: Start the weekend early! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be honest with yourself. If you are tired or in a bad mood, you might want to take some time off. Another scenario might be to go off and do something not related to your normal day-today life. A change could revitalize you. Tonight: Know that you don’t have to do anything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could discover that someone is not working with you, but against you. Be happy that you found out now, before there was any more damage. A partner or an associate who always has a positive outlook shares his or her opinions. Recognize your limits. Tonight: Join friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Recognize that a project might not deliver the desired results.
You could be overwhelmed by your choices, especially as you predict their ultimate outcome. You also could be tired of juggling your finances to create what you want. Tonight: Buy a new item for your wardrobe. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will bypass an authority figure’s reticence without asking yourself if this is a wise move. In any case, your creativity and love of life will be enhanced by everything that is going on around you. A new friendship also could become more. Tonight: You call the shots. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t push where there is no give. Let go of that situation or person -- at least for now. You will find a more rewarding and positive experience closer to you. Do not settle for anything less than what you want. Use caution with your funds. Tonight: Do some shopping.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Recently, I invited my best friend, “Evan,” and his family of four to join my family at a popular out-of-state theme park. Our children are similar ages, and we have always gotten along well even though we live in different states. My wife and I are members of a vacation program and offered to use our hotel points to save Evan a great deal of money. We didn’t expect anything in return, but we had discussed how much fun we’d have together. This didn’t happen. Evan and his family ignored us, made no effort to interact with my wife or children, and had other friends and family join them at the resort and in our shared rooms. They frequently went their own way in the theme park and were distant during the rare times that we were together. The final insult occurred on the last day, when they simply left the resort without saying goodbye or even thanking us for the stay. Clearly, Evan took advantage of our kindness, and interactions since indicate that his family is oblivious to their behavior. Are we wrong to have expected them to spend time with us? Evan and I have a long history, and I want to preserve the friendship. I prefer to drop this issue, while my wife wants to wash our hands of these people completely. Is there a tactful way to address this and salvage the friendship? -- No Explanation Given Dear No: The friendship you are trying to preserve is the one between you and Evan, so let your wife know that she is off the hook. Even if there is some reason for their rude behavior, that is not an excuse. They also were unappreciative of your generosity, although that may have created some awkwardness that contributed to the problem. It’s fine for you to remain in contact with Evan, but don’t plan any more vacation trips. If Evan should bring up the possibility of getting the families together again, simply say that he and his kids seemed uninterested in spending time with you before, so you think it’s best not to repeat the experience. Dear Annie: I’m 26 years old, happily married and have a beautiful 2-year-old daughter. My oldest brother is an alcoholic. He was in a terrible auto accident last year and nearly died. I don’t want to enable him by continuing to welcome him into my life. I’ve tried to explain this to my parents and my sister, but my words fall on deaf ears. Last month, my brother and I got into an argument at my parents’ house because he is jealous that I have a better relationship with his children than he does. It ended with me saying, “Stay out of my life.” Now, I’m the black sheep of the family while the others still welcome my brother with open arms. I love him, but I can’t deal with watching him kill himself. Am I wrong to walk away? -- Loving Sister in Missouri Dear Sister: This isn’t about right or wrong. It’s about what you can live with. Tell your parents that you are contacting Al-Anon (alanon.alateen.org) because you want to do what’s best for your brother and also for your family. It will help you deal with your brother and at the same time let your parents know that you care about him. Dear Annie: “Sticky” said she’s having a hard time in Florida because people don’t use their air conditioning. We moved to Florida 40 years ago. It took us a couple of years to get acclimated, and our electric bill was an incentive to be moderate with the thermostat. A few years ago, we moved from humid Florida to bone-dry Arizona, and that has been a harder adjustment. Not everyone has the same definition of comfortable. -- Old Man Gone West Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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. Direct:
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.
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. 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.
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.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

NKorean army spokesman says military cleared to wage nuclear attack on US ASSOCIATED PRESS
PYONGYANG — The North Korean army is warning Washington that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using “smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear’’ weapons. The threat from the unnamed army spokesman early Thursday is latest in a series of escalating warnings from North Korea, which has railed for weeks against
joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened sanctions for a February nuclear test. The spokesman said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency that troops have been authorized to counter U.S. aggression with “powerful practical military counteractions.’’
