Independent Investigations to look into police-involved shooting CHRIS STEDILE Castlegar News
Last Thursday night, at approximately 8 p.m., several members of the Castlegar RCMP and West Kootenay Traffic Services acted on a complaint regarding an impaired driver in the Castlegar area. The police did eventually locate the alleged impaired driver, however, matters soon turned sour and the RCMP officer ultimately fired his service pistol at the suspect. Exact details are limited as of now, but officers have confirmed the driver was transported to hospital for treatment however did not survive his injuries. No one else was injured. The B.C. Coroners Service said they were hoping to have more information for release by late Friday afternoon, but it was more likely that the information will come out on Monday. At press time no further information was available. Additionally, they confirmed that the deceased is not a youth. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has taken over the investigation and is accompanied by a forensic specialist. The site has been prepared for their arrival.

Mt. Polley panel delivers findings Design flaw led to collapse of dam C A R O LYN G R A N T Bulletin Editor
The independent panel investigating the Mount Polley tailings storage facility failure returned its findings Friday, January 30. According to the Panel’s report: “The Panel concluded that the dominant contribution to the failure resides in the design. The design did not take into account the complexity of the sub-glacial and pre-glacial geological environment associated with the perimeter embankment foundation. As a result, foundation
investigations and associated site characterization failed to identify a continuous GLU layer in the vicinity of the breach and to recognize that it was susceptible to undrained failure when subject to the stresses associated with the embankment.” The panel determined that the strength and location of a layer of clay underneath the dam was not taken into account in its original design. As a result, this layer became overstressed, causing the portion of the dam on top of that layer to collapse. The report also indicated that the failure was triggered by construction of the downstream rockfill zone at a steep slope. The Panel concluded that had the downstream
slope been flattened failure would have been avoided. The slope was in the process of being flattened to meet its ultimate design criteria at the time of the accident. Minister of Energy Bill Bennett said the government will act immediately on key recommendations in the report and launch a code review to consider the other recommendations. Immediate actions include the Chief Inspector of Mines requiring all operating mines with TSF dams to provide a letter by June 30, 2015, to confirm whether foundation materials similar to those at Mount Polley exist below any of their dams. This would not apply to closed facilities such as the Sullivan Mine tailings
in Kimberley, which recently passed a government-ordered inspection. You can see the entire inspection reports at www.gov.bc under Mineral Exploration and Mining, Dam Safety Inspections 2014. All operating mines will also be required to establish independent tailings dam review boards. “I am relieved to know the cause of the failure at Mount Polley and want to thank the panel for their important work. Now we can devote all of our energy to taking a leadership role in Canada and internationally to learn from this and ensure it never happens again.,” Bennett said. See REPORT, page 4

Help for hockey C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley Minor Hockey is getting some assistance from the City in a couple of ways. Firstly two tournaments — the Kimberley Minor Hockey Novice Dynamiters tournament this coming weekend and the Kimberley Old Nitro’s Hockey Tournament on February 14 and 15 — will receive 185 and 100 two for one pool passes. Council agreed that these passes were a gesture of goodwill and attracting visitors to the Aquatic Centre was good advertising, although it was noted that the majority of these passes are not used when handed out. The second gift from the City is a little larger After a plea from Councillor Albert Hoglund Council voted to cover all ice time (a $4000 in-
kind value) for the upcoming Pee Wee Tier 4 championships in March. In a memo Manager of Parks and Recreation Dave Clarke informed Council that the City had offered a 50 per cent reduction in ice fees, which had been agreed upon by Minor Hockey but Hoglund argued for a 100 per cent reduction. Hoglund argued that the economic benefit of the tournament — a once in 20 years event he said — would prove worth it. Coun. Kent Goodwin did have some concerns about the way the proposal was brought forward as an independent grant request. The City is in the midst of trying to prepare a policy for these grant requests. However, Goodwin said he was inclined to support the request.

Climb every mountain Kimberley man will climb three mountains in three days to celebrate turning 50 C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Turning 50 is a milestone and it’s usually one of those birthdays that is marked in a special way. Michael Meinig of Kimberley turned 50 this past November and when a couple of friends asked him how he would celebrate it, he sat down and really thought about it. Meinig used to do a lot of climbing, before family and work obligations began to take up a lot of time. “I mulled it over,” he said. “And I thought I haven’t climbed a mountain in a long time.” That idea grew and before he knew it,
Meinig had challenged himself to climb three mountains in three days, with each mountain dedicated to one charity. “I’ve chosen Cranbrook Shelter, which helps women going through hard times, providing them with support and a place to stay; Children’s Wish because I have known children who have battled leukemia and they help to fulfill their wishes; and the Good Samaritan becasue they provide ongoing care to seniors and adults with development disabilities.” Meinig has chosen three mountains in the Banff, Canmore area, Mt. Lady Macdonald, Mt. Rundle and Ha Ling Peak. He chose these mountains because they are difficult but doable hikes (about 3,000 m total vertical elevation). “I picked them mainly because of access, you can drive right to the base and then snowshoe up.” That’s right, snowshoe. Meinig is not
waiting until summer, he hopes to do the climbs in March. “I like snow,” he said. He has been training by snowshoeing up North Star Mountain every morning, long before the lift starts to run. “Don’t want to get in the way of the skiers,” he said. Meinig’s goal is to raise $1000 for each of his designated charities. He has already surpassed that for the Children’s Wish Foundation (Mt. Rundle). He has a number of sponsors from around town: Northstar Motors, Kootenay Mountain Works, RM Events, Kootenay Granite, Grizzly Mountain Events, Kimberley Alpine Resort and Wolfpack Signs. You can donate on Meinig’s website www.3for3.net. Links on the website go directly to the charity of your choice so the money goes directly to them.
Proclaimers MAKE US YOUR HOME PAGE! C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley City Council is once again pondering whether or not to proclaim. Many municipalities will declare a day or a week in aid of a special cause. The most recent request came from the Kimberley and District Heritage Society who want the City to proclaim February 16 as Heritage Day. Kimberley Council had passed a motion in 2000 that they would no longer proclaim any days or weeks, the reasoning being that there were many of these requests and you had to either grant them all or say no to them all. The City at the time opted to say no. “There are some you’d like and some you don’t,” said Coun. Albert Hoglund. Coun. Sandra Roberts noted that the museum can promote Heritage Day in any event. Mayor Don McCormick said this policy was something the City should discuss further.

Local NEWS Mount Polley Mine
Report says design flaw led to failure
John allen photo
The regular monthly meeting of the Kimberley Nature Park Society, chaired by Kent Goodwin, was held at McKim School on Thursday January 29. A large number of items were discussed. Revisions were made to the Organized Events and Activity Screening Policy, including a proposal to increase the permitted number of large competitive events to 4 in winter, 4 in summer. A new event, a 24 hour ultramarathon was approved, after lengthy discussion, for the weekend of August 22-23; this event will draw competitors from Alberta and the USA as well as a few hardy locals.
From Page 1 Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who is also the Energy and Mines critic, has several issues with the findings. “The structure of the embankment at the Mount Polley tailings storage facility that failed uses the same basic elements found in every earthfilled dam or retaining wall,” he said., “BC Hydro has structures using this technology in use at Mica, parts of Revelstoke, and WAC Bennett to name a few. The failure of those structures would be so catastrophic that their integrity supersedes all other factors. “At Mount Polley the tailings facility was allowed by the government to hold too much water which caused the massive damage but not the retaining wall failure according to the report. The report says the retaining wall was built up from the original design at too steep an angle. This design modification was allowed by the govern-
ment, as the government had allowed increased mining that produced more water and tailings than the original design of the retaining facility could handle. The water problem was first identified in 2010 but another arm of the government did not allow release of water for those four years. “Just prior to the collapse of the retaining wall this August there was a belated order that the steepness of the height enhanced retaining wall be reduced by putting more material to reduce the slope and by expanding a buttress to the base of the area of the place where the retaining wall failed. “All other parts of the wall had been buttressed but I was told by workers in Likely that there were cost factors that had prevented the buttressing and slope reduction work from being done. “This panel said essentially at mine sites cost or economic factors can *compromise* safety and that unlike BC Hydro dams the structures are not
built with a zero chance of failure regime. The panel says safety of structures must come first and failure of structures must be completely unacceptable. There remains an incredible amount yet to know. The panel said visual inspections would not have helped here but it leaves a tremendous amount of the oversight of these facilities and the quality of compliance still to be understood. “The government says they have two remaining investigations going on. “Both are the government investigating themselves and a major donor. I have seen enough of those in the past ten years to have little faith they will get to the bottom of things. For Bill Bennett and the BC Liberals, limiting political damage trumps the more crucial environmental and safety considerations. If this government and this minister put the public interest first, Bennett would have stepped aside months ago.”

A recent report that looks at the health of B.C. youth shows improvements when it comes to injuries and substance abuse for students in the East Kootenay region. The report is released every two years by the McCreary Centre Society. “There’s been a steady decline in substance use,” said Dean Nicholson, executive director at East Kootenay Addiction Services Society. “The number of youth reporting using alcohol has dropped. The number of youth reporting using marijuana has dropped. And the other drugs that youth get tested for have dropped or are at such low levels that they are stable. No substance that was looked at had increased.” The East Kootenay Addiction Services Society also does a survey, and this was the first year that both surveys came out in the same year. “McCreary and I worked together on comparing our surveys,” Nicholson said. “It was nice to see that our results really mirrored what McCreary was seeing. Across Canada there has been a general decline in substance use.” He said it is difficult to say
whether it is just a trend that we’re going through culturally or real change. “There’s been — certainly in the province and I think nationally — an attempt to shift the way substance use prevention is done — away from a fear-based scare tactic kind of thing to having it be much more about accurate information and discussion with the target group.” He said engaging the target group in discussions has been positive in his experience. “I think there’s been a tendency to say, especially with adolescents, drugs use, substance use is a problem period, without defining what do we mean by a problem and why is it a problem.” For instance, he said that if someone is coming to meet with students and their assumption is students shouldn’t be using any substances or any substance use indicates a problem, then right away it’s going to be hard for them to engage with the kids.” He said one of the reasons for that is that the kids will recognize that there is substance use amongst their peers and for many of them are not experiencing problems.“I think we’re recognizing that a more helpful goal is to honestly engage with kids about what their experience is,”
he said. “And come from a position of honest knowledge brokers and encouraging discussion.” The study found that although local students were more likely than their peers across the province to have tried tobacco, alcohol or marijuana, there were local decreases in the percentages who had done so. “There has been a big emphasis on reducing tobacco use. That’s been a 20 year project or more, and we’ve seen a decrease,” he said. “Also in B.C. we have some of the toughest drinking driving laws, so I think there’s been a message of safety and in some cases there are going to be harsh penalties from a legal perspective around the safety aspect, not necessarily around whether using is right or wrong.” In the past year, the study found a third of students were injured seriously enough to require medical attention. This percentage was higher than the rate across BC for both males (37 per cent vs. 30 per cent provincially) and females (29 per cent vs. 24 per cent provincially). However, this was a local decrease, from 43 per cent in 2003 and 38 per cent in 2008. See Page 5

Kootenay Savings declares dividend TRAIL, BC - Based on 2014 financial results, Kootenay Savings Board of Directors has declared a 1.25 per cent patronage and share dividend. The dividend will see $665,000 distributed to the credit union’s member-owners, bringing the total dollars shared through the Member Rewards Program to $69.4 million since it was introduced in 1992. Profit sharing dividends are calculated based on the amount of interest earned on deposits and the amount of interest paid on loans. To make the most of their share, member-owners are entitled to withdraw up to 20 per cent in cash, and can invest the remainder in an RRSP, earning them a tax credit. “The current economic environment has created financial challenges for many, however our commitment to the health of our communities has not wavered,” explained President and CEO Brent Tremblay. “That we are able to once again pay a profit sharing dividend, which sees our profits stay here in the
Kootenays, is a testament to the devotion of our employees and the loyalty of our membership.” The Member Rewards Program is just one example of Kootenay Savings community commitment. Last year alone the credit union, along with the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation, helped fund numerous community projects, programs and initiatives across the Kootenays, awarding over $383,000 in donations, sponsorships, grants, fundraising events and youth achievement and education awards. “We are confident that our local ownership, local decision-making and local knowledge will help us ensure the region continues to grow and flourish,” shared Board Chair Forrest Drinnan. “Like our members, we’re dedicated to working hard to help build thriving communities and look forward to sharing in a prosperous and profitable future with them.”

Mt. Polley: A ‘doomed’ tailings dam
T
he tailings dam at the Mount Polley mine was “doomed to fail” and the remedies that could have prevented the reckoning were undertaken “too little and too late.” Such was the depressing, persuasive conclusion of the trio of experts appointed to review last August’s breach of the dam — an environmental catastrophe that need not have happened at all. The root cause of the failure, they determined, was literally at the root of the dam: an underlying deposit of glacial till that was never fully mapped nor properly understood. We only know about it now because of the forensic engineering work that was part of their review. But if that were the whole story, their report would not be as troubling as it is. For authors Norbert Morgenstern, Dirk van Zyl and Steven Vick — all experts in engineering — painted a far from flattering portrait of the Mount Polley operation and the constant raising of the dam that preceded the breach. “Dam-raising proceeded incrementally, one year at a time, driven by impoundment storage requirements for only the next year ahead,” they write. “More reactive than anticipatory, there was little in the way of longterm planning or execution.” Those requirements were dictated not only by the volume of waste rock but the need to store the vast amount of water used to process the ore. Moreover, the storage demands began to put pressure on the design of the dam itself. “The design was caught between the rising water and the mine plan, between the imperative of raising the dam and the scarcity of materials for building it. Something had to give and the result was over-steepened dam slopes, deferred buttressing, and the seemingly ad hoc nature of dam expansion that so often ended up constructing something dif-
ferent from what had originally been designed.” Something had to give and something did. The report details a “tortuous, incremental” process that eventually produced an embankment, almost 40 metres high, with no supporting buttress and a steep slope of the kind “reserved exclusively for rock fill dams on solid rock foundations.” Except the foundation for that section of the dam, far Vaughn from being solid rock, was a Palmer kind of glacial till that would firmly support the growing weight of the dam until the moment it didn’t. As happened shortly after 1 a.m. last Aug. 4. In a what-if coda, the report details how an engineering plan, submitted just eight days before the dam failure, would have added a supporting buttress in the middle of the section that breached. “Had it been in place, the failure would have been averted,” they write. “The final, fateful instance of too little, too late.” Not all of the shortcomings identified in the report contributed directly to the failure. Still, the experts were dismayed about the adoption of “design criteria that left little margin for error” and safety standards that “made it harder to gauge just how closely dam raising was approaching the edge of the cliff.” More site visits by government inspectors wouldn’t have helped because the flaw was under the base of the dam, detectable only by the kind of engineering work brought to bear by the review panel: “By definition, no amount of inspection can uncover a hidden flaw.” But the panel did recommend best practices to reduce the risk in future, starting with an in-depth examination of other tailings dams to see if there are any heretofore undetected flaws lurking in their foundations. The government accepted that recommendation, along with a call for third-party reviews of tailings dams, and a full-blown review of construction guidelines, including
key considerations like steepness of slopes. The most controversial recommendation was also the one that would change the industry the most, arising as it did from a concern about the amount of water that was allowed to build up behind the Mount Polley dam. In the four years leading up to the failure, there was a 10-fold increase in the amount of water impounded with the tailings. The water didn’t cause the breach but ensured that when it happened, the volume of material spilled was greater and travelled further than if the dam impounded tailings alone. Hence their call for the province to phase out storing water and tailings together behind dams. “Only this can provide the kind of failsafe redundancy that prevents releases no matter what,” they wrote. Options include separate treatment and filtration of water, draining and compacting of tailings, and dry storage below ground. They cited the filtered tailings technology adopted by the Greens Creek silver mine in the Alaska panhandle. For those who might decry that option as more costly, the report says: “Cost estimates for conventional tailings dams do not include the risk costs, either direct or indirect, with failure potential.” Point taken, given that the tab for the Mount Polley cleanup has been estimated at $200 million. Based on current statistics, the report says the province can expect two tailings dam failures every 10 years, six every 30 years. “The panel does not accept the concept of a tolerable failure rate for tailings dams. To do so, no matter how small, would institutionalize failure,” they wrote, building toward the most powerful observation in their report. “First Nations will not accept this, the public will not permit it, government will not allow it, and the mining industry will not survive it.” Enough said. Get on with it. Vaughn Palmer is a columnist with the Vancouver Sun

Opinion/Events
Tom Fletcher’s article on the Columbia River Treaty, “U.S. Ripping off Canada on Water,” is a wakeup call; however Mr. Fletcher did not mention Forestry. Mog, a retired forester quickly pointed out BC’s biggest loss was forestry and jobs, along with other huge losses identified by Mr. Fletcher. Regarding the last words in the article “Your move Uncle Sam”; Uncle Sam has the goose that laid the golden egg and the golden egg — why would he move? The US installed six power generators in the Grand Coulee Dam alone as soon as the treaty was signed. In six years the US paid Canada: • 2007-2008 — 246 million • 2008-2009 — 231 million • 2009-2010 — 168 million • 2010-2011 — 136 million • 2011-2012 — 110 million • 2012-2013 — 89 million Now is the US producing 1/3 the power? How about flood control and other benefits they receive? Prior to the treaty, flooding occurred annually from the Canadian border to the Pacific Ocean in the US. Flooding in Canada was miniscule in comparison. For example: Calgary flood damage was 6 ∏ billion and still counting, yet BC received only 89 million in 2012-2013. Flood damage savings in the US would be
astronomical some years plus all the other benefits resulting from stable water levels. What should BC do? 1. Notify the US we are terminating the agreement immediately and willing to renegotiate. 2. Christie Clark should appoint a negotiating team responsible for the treaty only ? hopefully a Danny Williams would be in charge. The treaty is the most important issue facing our province. 3. Negotiate annual set payments. Allowing the US to reduce payments the past six years speaks for itself. If an agreement is not reached notify the US that not one foot of Canadian soil is to be flooded when the time is up. An example is the Libby Dam. Three Marinas should be compensated for losses as per taxes paid. Also release all water not required by BC Hydro keeping flood control commitments. Get the water control valves back to Canada. As stated earlier: It’s time to wake up. M. Scodellaro Cranbrook
Canada’s recent wars
I was very surprised at Mr. Stetski’s recent letter regarding Canada and the world. He obviously has a poor memory or perhaps just a convenient one.
He mentions “Mr. Harper’s wars”. Let’s take a look at this for a second. In 1999, Mr. Chretien’s Liberal government committed us to participating in a bombing campaign against Serbia over the Kosovo situation. This involved 18 CF18 fighter/bombers and the Armed Forces were especially proud that they had done 10 per cent of the allied bombing missions. Now let’s look at Afghanistan (the big one). Mr. Chretien’s Liberal government first committed our troops there in 2002 and two years later committed them to the full combat role. Whose wars, Mr. Stetski? Perhaps he is thinking of our present role in Iraq. This involves six CF18 fighter/ bombers and a handful of ground advisers. In my fairly long life I have never felt the evil that this group who is overrunning that part of our world represents. Maybe we should be increasing our involvement. Incidentally, less than three months ago, we returned from a trip to Europe. We proudly wore our maple leaf pins and were treated just as warmly as when we first went years ago. I would think someone of Mr. Stetski’s stature would be better informed, wouldn’t you? Neil Matheson Cranbrook

‘The real level’
Dominant Draisaitl, Kelowna Rockets soar over Ice Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Fuelled by Leon Draisaitl, the Kelowna Rockets put on a display of speed and skill, showing why they’re the most dominating team in the Western Hockey League with a 5-1 triumph over the Kootenay Ice Saturday night. “They’re a really good team. They’re the best team in the league and one of the best teams in the CHL,” said Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon Saturday night. “That’s major junior hockey. That’s the WHL. That’s the real level. Lots of guys on our team were not ready for that. “No excuses. They came right away and we were not ready because we don’t move our feet. We were scared with the puck.” The Rockets came out flying to start the game. Rourke Chartier, the WHL’s leading goal-scorer, ignited a four-goal opening period for Kelowna with his 41st goal in his 44th game of the campaign. Chartier’s tally came on a two-on-one, shorthanded break. The San Jose Sharks prospect took a pass from 20-year-old Tyrell Goulbourne before depositing it past a helpless Wyatt Hoflin. From there, it was Leon Draisaitl’s turn to shine as the third-overall selection of the Edmonton Oilers shed light on why his pro club saw fit to keep him in northern Alberta for 37
games to start the season. Using his 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame to his advantage, the native of Cologne, Germany, set up Cole Martin’s game-winning goal in
“They’re the best team in the league and one of the best teams in the CHL. That’s major junior hockey. That’s the WHL. That’s the real level. Lots of guys on our team were not ready for that.” Tim Bozon of the Kootenay Ice the first period, before providing the only necessary insurance marker a couple shifts later. “It popped out to the blue-line and Riley Stadel made a nice play,” Draisaitl said, recounting his seventh goal of the season. “He passed it to me in front, I was by myself and just kind of put it in. It was a really nice play by Stadz.” Draisaitl made a couple subtle moves with the puck before sliding it under Hoflin, who was once again left to fend for himself. That made it 3-0 for the visitors 12:41 into the first period. By the time the opening 20 minutes were through, Gage Quinney added another for the Rockets. Tyler King sent a late power-play tally past Kelowna keeper Jackson

Whistle to get the Ice on the board, but the hosts still trailed 4-1 at the first break. “We just have four lines that can roll,” Draisaitl said. “We can play with four lines and we shouldn’t be scared to get scored on. We have four lines that can score at the same time, at the same level. Our depth is really good.” Dillon Dube potted the final goal of the night late in the second period to make it 5-1 for the Rockets. Hoflin made 24 stops for the Ice, while Whistle made 25 saves at the other end to earn his 30th victory of the season. Draisaitl’s two-point performance earned him the first-star selection. With seven goals and 17 points through 11 games since being returned to the Western Hockey League from the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, Draisaitl is showing little indication of feeling out of place, though he admitted the game isn’t quite what he had become accustomed to at the NHL level. “It’s a different game,” Draisaitl said. “It took me a little while to get adjusted to it. “The challenge is night in and night out, to still play my game even though I have two guys on me all over the ice wherever I go. I’m basically getting shadowed a lot of the time.” The Oilers returned their 2014 first-round draft choice to the WHL and the Prince Albert Raiders Jan. 4, after which he was promptly dealt to the Kelowna Rockets Jan. 6 in exchange for forward Kris Schmidli, defenceman Dalton Yorke and three WHL Bantam Draft picks. “We talked and there’s obviously lots of things I have to do better -- skating, ‘D’ zone and just my overall skill,” Draisaitl said of his conversations with Oilers brass before joining the Rockets. “Just try to be as complete of a player as I possibly can. “Even though you get shadowed, or guys are

Despite Saturday’s setback, the Ice did manage to get two points Friday night in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Regina Pats, even though they took the hard road to get there. The win was the 700th in Kootenay Ice franchise history, dating all the way back to the 1996-97 season when the franchise was located in Edmonton. After opening up a 3-0 advantage on the Pats in the second period, the Ice allowed the visitors to score three consecutive goals, including two in a span of 31 seconds in the third period, forcing overtime. “It shows we have good character,” said Kootenay Ice forward Matt Alfaro Friday night. “We’re willing to fight back even though we blew a lead like that. It’s a good challenge for the team and it’s a good team win.” The good team win required overtime to come to fruition, with defenceman Rinat Valiev playing the role of hero. “I just go to the net. Sam [Reinhart] shoot
and I tipped it,” Valiev said Friday night. “There was rebound for me and I’m lucky to score.” After facing the Rockets, Valiev and the Ice don’t get a break from the cream of the crop in the WHL as the Brandon Wheat Kings -- the top club in the Eastern Conference at 37-9-3-2 -- visit Western Financial Place for back-toback games Friday and Saturday (Feb. 6 and 7). “It’s going to be ex-
actly the same thing against Brandon,” Bozon said. “They play fast and physical. Our young guys have to wake up and everybody else, too. The veterans have to lead the way. “This is the WHL. This is the real level. Brandon is the real level. Lots of guys were maybe surprised by the level [Saturday against the Kelowna Rockets]. But it’s the end of January, early February -- we’re
coming close to the playoffs. Everybody is fighting playoff spots. This is the real level.” Notes: The Kootenay Ice skated with seven defencemen and 11 forwards Saturday night as D Tanner Lishchynsky (ill), F Jon Martin (undisclosed), F Austin Wellsby and D Tanner Faith (shoulder, four to six months) were out of the lineup…Ice F Sam Reinhart had a 10-game point streak snapped...

Patriots crowned world champions Tom Brady leads New England to Super Bowl title
Howard Ulman Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. Another big comeback for the New England Patriots. And, finally, another championship. A superstar quarterback who attacks adversity like an overmatched cornerback erased a 10point deficit. Then an undrafted rookie from an unheralded school preserved it with an interception in the end zone with 20 seconds left. That unlikely duo of Tom Brady and Malcolm Butler made the biggest plays in the final minutes of the season, and the Patriots dethroned the Seattle Seahawks with a 28-24 win in the Super Bowl on Sunday night, New England’s first championship in a decade. “Every team has a journey and a lot of people lost faith in us early,” Brady said after winning his third Super Bowl MVP award, “but we held strong, we held together and it’s a great feeling.” The doubters emerged when the Patriots fell to 2-2 with a 41-14 loss at Kansas City. Then they won their next seven games. Fans despaired when they trailed the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional game then became the first team in
NFL playoff history to overcome two 14-point deficits. They won 35-31. But no one gave up on the Patriots sideline after the Seahawks scored on four consecutive possessions to take a 24-14 lead with just under five minutes left in the third quarter. “We never lost faith. We never stopped believing,” defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. The 11-year veteran who clogs the middle won his first title since his rookie season in 2004. That was the Patriots’ third championship in four years. But in the next nine seasons, they lost their only two Super Bowl appearances, both to the New York Giants and both on come-from-behind touchdowns in the final minutes. “We’ve been on the other end of this twice now,” Brady said, “being ahead late and not being able to make the plays to win. And, this time, we made the plays to win. Just awesome.” Butler is new to all this, a lightly regarded cornerback from West Alabama who played in 11 regular-season games with no interceptions. But like the Patriots, he overcame adversity. “I always said that I could play in this league,” Butler said. “It doesn’t matter where you come from. It’s what you do
when you get here.” He fits in. Brady was drafted in the sixth round. Wide receiver Julian Edelman was taken in the seventh. Running back LeGarrette Blount started as an undrafted rookie. “There’s a lot of guys that have their stories on this team,” Edelman said. “I guess we’re just a team of misfits.” When it counted most, the fit was just fine. Brady’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola cut the lead to 24-21 with 7:55 left in the game. Then Brady completed all eight of his passes on the winning drive, capped by a 3-yarder to Edelman with 2:02 remaining. Then the Seahawks drove to a second-andgoal at the Patriots 1. But rather than hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch, who rushed for 102 yards and one touchdown, Russell Wilson threw toward Ricardo Lockette, cutting in from the right. Butler picked off the pass. “I knew it was going to happen,” Butler said. “I didn’t know how I knew, but I knew.” Maybe it’s because the Patriots never give up, no matter how bleak the outlook. “As long as we have (Brady) on our team,” Blount said, “we have a chance.”

Seattle DB Lane leaves with injury; replacement tagged for two TDs Bob Baum Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. Long before the miracle catch, improbable interception and the rest of what made this a wild Super Bowl, Seattle cornerback Jeremy Lane made a big play, then
went down with a gruesome arm injury. It would turn out to be an injury that had a devastating effect on the Seahawks in their 28-24 loss to New England. The Patriots immediately went after Lane’s replacement, Tharold Simon, and beat him
again and again and again. Two of Tom Brady’s touchdowns were thrown to receivers that were being defended by Simon - to Brandon LaFell and Julian Edelman Lane’s first career interception came in the
end zone to halt a first-quarter Patriots scoring threat. As he returned the pick, he fell awkwardly on his arm as he was knocked out of bounds, bending it at an angle that is hard to watch on replays.
Terrific Tom Brady named Super Bowl MVP Howard Fendrich Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. As a kid, years before he became a pretty good quarterback in his own right, Tom Brady idolized Joe Montana. Now, at age 37, Brady owns just as many Super Bowl championships and just as many Super Bowl MVP awards - as the Pro Football Hall of Famer. And no QB in history has more. Brady completed 37 of 50 passes for 328 yards with four touchdown passes, each to a different receiver, in-
cluding an 8-for-8, 65yard bit of perfection on the drive that led to the go-ahead score with about 2 minutes left Sunday night. That performance, and a victory-clinching interception by rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler, lifted the New England Patriots to a 28-24 comeback victory over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl with a slow start and a “Whoa!” finish. This was not Brady at his best throughout. He threw two interceptions, including one deep in Seattle territory in the
first quarter, and another in the third that led to points for the Seahawks. That’s part of why the Patriots trailed 24-14 in the fourth quarter, before Brady got the comeback going. “It wasn’t the way we drew it up. Certainly, throwing a couple of picks didn’t help,” said Brady, who broke Peyton Manning’s Super Bowl record of 34 completions set last year. “It was a lot of mental toughness. Our team has had it all year. We never doubted each other, so that’s what it took. That was a great football team we beat.
I’m just so happy for our team.” And to think, back in late September, folks were writing off Brady, saying his best days were long behind him, especially right after a 41-14 loss at Kansas City that dropped the Patriots to 2-2. “Every team has a journey,” Brady said Sunday, “and a lot of people lost faith in us early. But we held strong. We held together.” Decades ago, sitting in his family’s season-ticket seats at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park while growing up, Brady would wear a No.
16 jersey, just like Montana, and cheer for his favourite player’s team. Brady did a fairly good impression of Joe Cool against Seattle. He connected with Danny Amendola for a 4-yard touchdown with about 8 minutes left. That gave Brady 12 TD passes in Super Bowls, breaking Montana’s mark. Then, with 2:02 to go, Brady hit Julian Edelman from 3 yards for TD toss No. 13 in Super Bowls - and, more importantly, the lead. “Tom’s the best ever,” Edelman said. Brady turned to New England’s sideline,
pointed, then raised his right fist, his white jersey stained green from the turf. Only after Butler grabbed Russell Wilson’s pass from the 1-yard line in the final half-minute could Brady really begin to celebrate, leaping up and down on the sideline and embracing coach Bill Belichick. Now Brady, Montana and Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers are the only starting quarterbacks to earn four Super Bowl rings. At the outset of Brady’s career after being a sixth-round draft pick, he and Beli-
chick combined to win three championships in a four-year span, in the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowls. Brady was the MVP in the first two of those. But Sunday’s victory ended a decade title drought, after losses in the big games in 2008 and 2012, both times against the New York Giants. “Well, it’s been a long journey. I’ve been at it for 15 years and we’ve had a couple of tough losses in this game,” Brady said. “This one came down to the end, and this time, we made the plays.”

The truth. The facts. There is significant misinformation about the way wildlife is managed in British Columbia (BC). This backgrounder attempts to clear up the incorrect information and provide an explanation of the way wildlife is managed in the province. The Government’s decision on December 10, 2014 was the result of 10 years of exhaustive discussions between the BC Wildlife Federation, the Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia (GOABC), and the provincial government. Including talks with a neutral facilitator to help resolve this longstanding dispute. The Ministry made a balanced decision and neither party was satisfied. If the government is considering changing their decision based misinformation and a few radicals that want to destroy the guide outfitting industry, we will be extremely disappointed. How do other jurisdictions allocate hunting opportunity between residents and non-residents? Wildlife managers use a variety of tools to manage and allocate the harvest of big game animals. These tools include laws, regulations, licences, tags, and lottery systems. Most jurisdictions allocate hunting opportunity based on the available species tags for residents and non-residents. These are examples of the true splits of allocated hunts in BC: This decision will provide “…non-resident hunters the best deal in North America” FALSE. Some jurisdictions have a lower percentage of tag sales to non-residents than BC, while some have higher.

B.C. corks luxury tax for premium wines Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has put a cork in its plan to charge a higher tax on higher-end wines. “Since we released our wholesale pricing model in November, we’ve heard concerns from the industry about the pricing structure for wines over $20 a bottle,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said Friday. “We are reducing the mark-up for this category – levelling out the wholesale price for wines that would have been impacted.” A major concern for wine stores and B.C. restaurants was the change to the province’s wholesale pricing formula for wine that ends the discount advantage
for independent wine stores. It meant little change or even cheaper prices for wines that now cost $15 and under. But the final retail price of pricier bottles was expected to rise sharply starting in April, in both private and government stores, and in restaurants. B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said restaurants must pay retail prices and usually charge their patrons double, so the price of a premium bottle when having dinner out would have jumped 10 to 20 per cent. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting
private or government liquor sales in separated spaces inside grocery stores. Another change to allow only B.C. wines to be sold directly from grocery shelves has attracted a U.S. challenge under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than the government retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount.fletcher_new_win_tax

Wineries and restaurants pushed back on the plan to increase the tax rate on wines retailing for $20 a bottle or more.
Hundreds of hunters protest reduced access to permits Canadian Press
KELOWNA, B.C. Street corners were crammed and sidewalks spilled over with hunters who travelled from across B.C. to protest outside Premier Christy Clark’s office in West Kelowna against new quotas they say will choke their access to hunting permits. An estimated 1,200 adults and children, some dressed in camouflage, marched through downtown West Kelowna on Saturday in a peaceful call to arms against a proposed reallocation that gives a larger share of permits to guiding outfitters and their foreign clients. “People are fired up. I have never seen hunters this worked up about an issue ever,” said Sean Richardson, president of the Oceola Fish and Game Club in Lake Country. “We know that if ... we lose this allocation battle, the next thing that’s going to change is regulation. “We’re digging in.” The B.C. Wildlife Federation predicts the changes to B.C.’s harvest-allocation policy could eliminate 5,000 hunting permits for provincial residents. The changes establish fixed proportions for category A game
species, allocating visiting hunters 40 per cent of the annual allowable harvest of grizzly bears, up to 25 per cent of the allowable moose harvest and 35 per cent of the allowable mountain goat harvest. The policy gives more permits to foreigners than ever. Yet resident hunters outnumber the foreign hunters by 102,000 to 4,500 based on last year’s license sales, said Richardson, who helped organize the rally. Brook Mudrie, a father of two in Vernon, says wildlife needs to be protected. “I don’t want to see foreign trophy hunters come in here and pay a fee to take a head, instead of a B.C. family who feeds their family off these animals. It’s ridiculous.” Forests Minister Steve Thomson, MLA for Kelowna-Mission, argues the current allocation policy has caused some guides to lose business. The changes allow them new opportunities to succeed. The number of resident hunters buying licenses each year has risen 20 per cent in the last decade while foreign-hunter sales have declined by 30 per cent, Richardson said. The
guides should be changing their business model, he said, not relying on government to prop up their industry. “It’s coming on the backs of residents. I don’t know that giving more animals to the guides is really going to help their failing business model.” Many guiding outfits are owned by foreign companies, which diverts taxes from Canada. Someone who pays $30,000 to bag a mountain sheep in B.C. typically flies in a private jet to where he’s hunting, harvests the animal and leaves, Richardson said. More than 500 protesters dropped off personal letters to the premier at her constituency office. “We know she’s got them. She’s going to have to start responding to us,” Richardson said. Andrew Farnsworth, 29, drove from Langley with two friends to join the rally. He spent two weeks on a mountain-goat hunt this year in the Kootenays, a week on a mule-deer hunt near Clinton and weekends in the fall going for bear or deer. “It’s important to protect our hunting rights,” he said. “We’re losing them. We’re trying to fight to get them back.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Excitement surrounds the morning. You’ll get past an immediate hassle with ease. Meeting times will need to be confirmed. If you think someone’s remark seems out of whack, just repeat back what you thought you heard. Tonight: Act as if it were Friday night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will want to straighten out a situation that involves a headstrong friend or loved one. This person might seem to be quite closed off, but in reality, he or she probably just wants to get past the present misunderstanding. Take your time, rather than push. Tonight: Mosey on home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Share more of what ails you. A partner or loved one might seem distant and difficult. The unexpected is likely to affect a meeting and/or an interaction with this person. Avoid making any judgments, and try stating your point in a different way.
Tonight: At a favorite spot. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to be more aware of your spending and your budget. You could feel as if your finances are out of whack. Worry less, and stay centered. You are likely to experience a certain amount of boredom in your daily routine. Change it! Tonight: Pay bills first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be in the position to convince someone that the less exciting option would be best. Misunderstandings could lurk, and you might choose to see a situation a lot differently from how those around you see it. Confirm important statements. Tonight: Be spontaneous. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Assume a low profile, even if someone tries to shock you out of complacency. You’ll need to observe rather than react. Ask yourself what would be best to do in order to move forward. You are much more together than you ever thought possible. Tonight: Get some R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
You could be stuck on the wrong side of a problem. As you try to resolve the issue, others might seem bent on creating uproar. If you try to intervene, you probably will find yourself in the middle of an argument. Ride the winds of fate. Tonight: Hang with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be willing to stand up and assume your role in a particularly difficult situation. You might not want all the attention on you, but it seems to be inevitable. Your role is dominant, and others will want to learn how to lead in the way in which you do. Tonight: Let it all hang out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be full of unexpected news. Though you might not react as you used to, you still will have a strong response. Be aware of others’ confusion. You know what is workable and what is not. Try to convey what you know to those around you. Tonight: Surf the Web. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with a partner or associate directly. In fact, the response you
receive could be totally different than if you were to discuss the same issue with someone else there. Take advantage of a quiet moment. Be willing to state the same point several different ways. Tonight: Togetherness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might have mixed feelings and be overly serious, especially after a morning surprise. Nothing is as it seems and all is subject to change. Remain open to various ideas and you will head down the right path. Tonight: Confusion reigns. Maintain a sense of humor. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be somewhat fixated on your schedule and on what you must accomplish. You will have a surprising change occur at some point throughout the day. You might want to rethink a decision with more care. Verify what you are hearing. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am close to my parents, and my husband and I love to visit them when we’re in town. We always stay in their home, not only because it is convenient for us, but because I know my mother would be upset if we didn’t. The problem is my sister and her children. While we are at my parents’ house, she drops the kids off each morning, and they stay until nearly midnight (even on school nights). My sister does not work outside the home. She simply wants the time for herself. One of the children plays a video game, loudly, all hours of the day. He screams obscenities at the TV and will not respond to our kind insistence that he turn down the volume. I have tried gently broaching this topic with my mother, to no avail. We have trouble falling asleep at night, as we have to listen to the sound of gunfire and obscenities from the guest room. Is there a kind way to tell my mother that we would like to have child-free time without the grandchildren present? Is this overstepping our role as houseguests? -Just Want Peace and Quiet Dear Peace and Quiet: You are not overstepping to want a good night’s sleep, but you have no say over Mom’s rules, such as they are. We are sure Mom loves having you, but she is not likely to make waves with your sister, who lives closer and with whom she needs to have a good relationship. You will lose that battle. Tell your mother you understand why she indulges the grandchildren, but from now on, you will spend at least one or two nights at a hotel in order to rest and will visit her during the day. Please be nice about it. Mom has enough aggravation. We feel sorry for her and especially for those kids, who are growing up with so little parental guidance. Your sister could benefit from some parenting classes, but it is unlikely that she will take advice from you. Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We have no children together, but we each have children from previous marriages. From Day One of our marriage, he made it clear he did not want to pay for Christmas, birthdays, weddings, etc., on my side, which was fine. I’ve taken care of my side, and he’s done his. We are now at an age where we need to put our affairs in order. He wants each child to get the same amount from our estate. I disagree. I want the amount to be divided in half, and each half then divided between the children on each side. We have not been arguing about this. We just haven’t taken care of the arrangements. I will agree to whatever you say. -- Taking Care of Business Dear Business: Generally, we believe all children should be treated equally when dividing an estate, because otherwise, there is rancor between the children. However, if you brought vastly unequal assets into the marriage and the children were not raised together, the situation is different. Please discuss these issues with an estate attorney, who will help you sort through the possibilities and reach a decision that satisfies both of you. Dear Annie: “Tired and Disgusted Other Half” wrote that her husband is disrespectful and puts her down in front of their children and friends. She said she’s been married too long to leave. Your response was good, but I was married to such a man. He refused to understand what the problem was and would not go for counseling, because I was the one with the problem. There are men who will not benefit from counseling, nor will their wives or their relationships. I suspect it’s a high percentage of older men. I was married for 32 years, and I stayed too long. -- California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Strong outlook for daily newspapers
S
mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very proď&#x192;&#x17E;table business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not miss the point, eitherâ&#x20AC;?, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas. But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.â&#x20AC;? In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change one crucial factâ&#x20AC;?, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daily newspapers offer the same beneď&#x192;&#x17E;ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a set of qualities very few other media can match.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major pubishers and media buyers agreeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; strong readership ď&#x192;&#x17E;gures are testament to improved product.

ewspapers are not a medium but media available for everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.
Jake was born on May 30, 1929 in Champion, AB to Jacob and Pauline Goodman. He was the youngest of five children. Our dad was a member of the East Kootenay Shrine Club #4 in Cranbrook and was very proud of his affiliation. Dad loved to play golf and after his retirement from Goodman Diesel he learned to fly ultra light planes. Jake was predeceased by his parents, three brothers and one sister: William, Ronald, Elizabeth and Samuel. He is survived by his children Donna-Leigh, Lori (Paul), Doug, Richard and Anniel (John); four grandchildren Kirstie, Farran, Kevin and Michael; and his partner Dawn. A special thank you to the staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, especially Dr. Shilhan, who were so kind to our dad and our family during this difficult time. Dad left this world on his own terms and can now finally breathe with ease. As per Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will be no memorial service.

Sharon Whitehead
It is with great sadness that we announce that Sharon Whitehead has passed away on January 28, 2015 with her family by her side at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital after a long courageous battle with cancer. She will be dearly missed by her husband Jim; daughters Holly (Ian) Gourlie, Valerie (John) Gallo, and her much loved grandchildren Adam Whitehead, Kayla Gourlie (Harley Palmer), Amy Gourlie and Cole and Bodie Gallo; her sisters Lorraine (Lorne) Hart, Lynn (Jerry) Horsley, Caroline Aiken (George Beaton) and brothers Ralph (Lynn) Masear, Larry (Adele) McDiramid, Lyle (Shirley) McDiramid as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Sharon was predeceased by her mother Marion McDiramid and her father Raymond Masear and her son Shawn Whitehead. Cooking and baking were Sharonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite hobbies and many were lucky to sample her projects. She loved playing games and laughing until she cried. She loved Disneyland and Hawaii and she and Jim took their family on many memorable holidays. Anyone that knew Sharon would know how generous and caring she was. She touched many lives and will be missed immensely. Sharonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle of friends was large and loving. We will be holding an open house to celebrate her life at the Montrose Hall (490 9thAve Montrose, BC) on Monday, February 2, 2015 from 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2pm.
