Search and Rescue rift Two groups vying to be sanctioned as new Kimberley Search and Rescue C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The City of Kimberley is trying to decide what to do about Kimberley Search and Rescue. Coun. Kent Goodwin updated Council on the situation on Monday evening. The Kimberley Search and Rescue Society was dissolved by the

Province late last year, Goodwin said, for failing to provide proper documentation. “Two different groups are incorporating to provide search and rescue,” he said. These groups are both made up of former, trained members of the previous Search and Rescue Society. Council received a letter from one of the groups, which has incorporated as Kimberley Search and Rescue Society. In the letter, the new Society’s president, Pamela Nevlud, requested access to search and rescue equipment.

Fraud matter adjourned to March TOWNSMAN STAFF
A Cranbrook woman facing fraud charges had her case adjourned till March on Tuesday morning as she seeks a private accountant. The charges, including Fraud over $5,000 and Theft of $5,000, were announced by the RCMP last October, after a business reported that a long-time employee

had been stealing money by alleging that she had been paying herself for hours and duties not actually performed. In total, it is alleged the accused defrauded her employer of approximately $360,000 over the course of her 14-year tenure with the company. See FRAUD, page 4

Slopes for Hope cancelled FOR THE BULLE TIN
Bad news for the Kimberley-born Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser, Slopes for Hope. The 2015 event has been postponed until the winter of 2016. “Due to variables that are beyond our control, we have experienced a sharp decrease
in our enrollment and donations,” event chair Liana Shaw said. “Unfortunately, we are the second Slopes for Hope event in the province that has had to postpone the event.” “Not reaching our fundraising target for this event means that many will be affected and may not have access to the services these funds support

in our communities,” Shaw said. “Slopes for Hope itself is a fun way to support the Canadian Cancer Society, however, the real impact you make is in the funds you help raise that translate into saving lives and supporting those on a cancer journey. For this reason we very much hope that our regis-
tered participants continue to reach out to their networks over the year and do their best to help meet our fundraising target for this event that is postponed until 2016. The website will remain open and tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 or more made online at slopesforhope. ca

Three nights, three shows, one great concert series For the Bulletin
Coming to the Studio 64 (formerly known as “the Dance Studio at Centre 64”, but why waste words?) are three great shows in Kimberley Arts Council’s 4th annual Spring Concert Series. Beginning on March 21 with the retro-pop band, The Lovebullies, the series continues on April 21 with bluesman Guy Davis and concludes May 23 with the Gypsy blues duo, Blue Moon Marquee. The Lovebullies, so their bio goes, are “formed out of the ashes of drive-in movie theatres and 57 Cadillacs ….. bringing 1950s and 60s vintage pop back into the mainstream.” This Calgary group comprising Chantal Vitalis, Kevin Herring, Joni Brent, Paul Jahn, and Caroline Connolly will have you humming along and dancing to these familiar tunes and “sweet-as-syrup” songs. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday evening, March 21. Guy Davis is a blues-
man originally from New York. He is not only a musician but a composer, actor, director and writer as well. His folksy performances are sprinkled with humorous monologues about his grand parents and great-grand parents, creating a “down home” feel to his shows, ideal for the intimate cabaret-style setting at Studio 64. This show starts Guy Davis plays on April 21. at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21. Blue Moon Marquee is a duo from the Alberta badlands. A.W. Cardinal plays guitar and harmonica, backed by Jasmine Colette on upright bass and drums. They both provide the vocals. Their music is described as gypsy blues and contains many original compositions. They will be performing at Studio 64 at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 23rd. New smaller tables for four at Studio 64 will add to the cabaret atmosphere which will also be enhanced by wall decorations by Kimberley artist Helen Robertson. A wine & beer bar Blue Moon Marquee on May 23 will be open for each
The Lovebullies on March 21. concert. Concert series tickets for all 3 concerts are available for $60 for Kimberley Arts Council members or $66 for
non-members. Individual concert tickets are $22 for members or $24 for non-members (advanced sales) or $26 at the door. You can get
your ticket at Centre 64 or online at eastkootenay.snapd.com (check their event calendar). For more information call 250-427-4919.

The Program provides people living in wildfire prone areas with the knowledge and organizational means to significantly reduce their neighbourhood’s vulnerability to wildfire. This is achieved by planning and working together with the support of a local wildfire professional. If you are interested in learning more about the program and/or signing up your neighbourhood as a FireSmart Community, see the City’s website for more details.

Teck Kootenay Cup x-country this weekend For the Bulletin
for the Saturday skate race to 11AM. At this time, the race for Sunday remains the same at 9AM. Furthermore, the race format for Sunday will most likely be an individual start, as our stadium has shrunk. Depending on further changes to the snowpack, race courses could change up to the day before the race. Also, be prepared to ski either discipline (skate or classic) on Sunday, as we cannot guarantee the ability to set a proper track after the races on Saturday. We thank you for your patience and understanding in this difficult situation, but we are doing the best we can considering the conditions Mother Nature has
After careful deliberation and countless meetings with the Kimberley Kootenay Cup committee, it was decided that the Teck Kootenay Cup 2015 will proceed as planned in Kimberley this coming weekend (February 14th and 15th). We have had very warm weather and significant rainfall these last 5 days and the race courses will need to be adjusted. The race courses will be posted on the KNC website by Thursday or Friday this week. We will be working hard to make sure the race course is in excellent shape. To prevent further damage to the snow-pack, we will be moving the race time
given us. Further information, as it becomes available, can be found on the KNC webpage. Competitors can register online at zone4.ca until February 12th at 11pm. There are also many categories for children of all ages, with courses as short as 500m and 1000m for the youngest competitors. “Of course, we provide plenty of warm food after the race for all competitors and volunteers” said Ali Wilson, food coordinator. For those who don’t want to compete, spectators are always welcome. Better yet, volunteers are always needed to help with the race itself and with the food ser-
vices. We encourage anyone interested to get in touch with Frank Ackermann at frankackermann@me.com. For spectators, the action starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday and runs for a couple hours each day. A section of the Nordic trails remains open during the race for anyone to enjoy a ski. Come out and support your local and surrounding Nordic ski clubs at a fun-filled weekend at the beautiful Kimberley Nordic Center. There will be food, music, and a whole lot of fun to be had!

“It is our understanding that many of the vehicles and much of the equipment from the former SAR group may have been transferred back to the City ownership upon dissolution,” Nevlud wrote. “We would like to assume stewardship of any facilities, vehicles and equipment that had been previously granted to the former SAR group.” With two groups both vying to be Kimberley Search and Rescue, Council was at a loss as to what to do. “Why are there two groups?” asked Coun. Bev Middlebrook. “Is there conflict?” “I think there might be,” Goodwin said. “Right now the group that has access to all the equipment is still going out on calls.” Nevlud said in an interview with the Bulletin that there were two groups looking to pro-

Discounts bring out the ugliness
T
here is something that speaks to the ugliness of human nature in the well-publicized reaction of the general public to the discounts at Target’s liquidation event — about how displeased consumers are that those discounts aren’t to their liking. People are rushing to take advantage of the Target stores shutting down in Canada, looking for sudden rock bottom prices. When they find the discounts aren’t as low as they were expecting they become angry, and vent their spleens on the hapless store staff, who don’t even set the store prices, and who are only trying to make the public’s shopping experience as pleasant as possible. Here on display is the dark side of our consumer mentality, that we are excited to take advantage of the misfortunes of others — these staffers will be without jobs soon enough — and yet when the advantage isn’t as great as we were hoping, our reaction is to abuse those same people who will soon be unemployed. Stay classy, shoppers. I too wandered in to Target, looking for discounts. I bought some pants, some socks, at either 10 per cent off or 20 per cent off — I’ve forgotten. They are good pants, but I’ve bought pants at Target before, at regular prices. I bought a CD, and a frozen pizza, at a 20 per cent discount. I suppose I would have preferred to buy everything for a dollar apiece, but it didn’t occur to me to seek out a staffer and lose my stuff on him or her. In my mind’s eye I approach a young woman at the fitting rooms. “You know,” I say, trying to keep my voice from shaking with anger. “This 20 per cent isn’t really much of a deal. You’re going out of business after all.”
“I know, Sir,” she answers, looking unhappy, “but our prices are set by head office.” “You’re going to stand here,” I snap, getting angrier, “and tell me that 20 per cent off is a good deal — for going out of business! No wonder you’re going out of business!” “Sir, I don’t really know what to say to you at this particular second.” “Two for one!” I shout, flapping the pants at her. “The price should be two Barry pairs of pants for the price of one! Does that concept Coulter mean anything to you?” “As I said, Sir, the prices are set …” “And this frozen pizza!” I shout. “You think 20 per cent off is a good deal for a frozen pizza? A discount frozen pizza!” “Yes, Sir, 20 per cent off is an excellent deal for a frozen pizza!” The young woman is getting a bit angry herself. “I should pay one dollar! One dollar for this frozen pizza! You’re going out of business!” “At 20 per cent, Sir, you’re paying about three dollars for that frozen pizza” “At three dollars, it should be two for one! Two for one!” “Sir, you should take that frozen pizza and shove it up your …” My mind’s eye blinked before I could get to the end of that scene, but of course the staffer wouldn’t tell me where I could shove my frozen pizza, no matter how rude I was. It’s true, when you deal with the public for a living, you must maintain your poise and manners, even though the public feels entitled to be condescending and abusive. Speaking of which: What’s big, red, American and pulling out of Canada — besides Target?
The answer is: Redbox — the video rental terminals that have graced the floors of Canadian locations like Safeway. However, by the end of February, 2015, Redbox will have given up on their Canadian adventure. Why, oh why? Redbox itself answers — on a note posted on all Redboxes. In a nutshell: “Demand for Redbox services didn’t meet their expectations. They will be focussing their attention on their U.S. business, where demand for ‘physical media’ remains strong.” I feel jilted once again. Just like I bought my pants and socks at Target before liquidation, I also rented DVDs from Redbox. I love renting DVDs. I love physical media. I still buy vinyl LPs — how much more can you love physical media than that! I’ve written about this before — that the DVD had a career as technology only slightly longer than the 8-track tape (I used to buy that form of physical media too!). I love watching movies on DVD. But that era is now, officially, irrefutably over. Our movies, our music, all our media are coming out of the clouds. It’s all about the streaming now — Netflix, etc. So if I want to watch movies, I must subscribe to a streaming service. But that means, I need a new TV. My TV is almost 15 years old, and more obsolete than the Chevrolet El Camino car-truck. I haven’t had cable for almost all that time, and when I watch DVDs I have to pull the couch closer to my TV so I can see. A new TV? This could profoundly change my life in many ways. But where can I get a new TV for bargain prices? In my mind’s eye I approach the young fellow in the audio-visual department of the soon-to-be-closed Target. “Now see here,” I shout. “You call that 30 per cent a discount? “I’ll give you $50 bucks for that 52-inch flatscreen. You’re going out of business ain’tcha!”…

Opinion/Events
Although somewhat disappointing, it was positive to see how close the fluoride referendum was. I personally believe the vote was lost due to lack of awareness of the toxic effects of fluoride. Many believe that if they drink filtered water or bottled water, they are not affected by the toxic fluoride in our water system. Unfortunately, this is a false premise. Many do not know that we also absorb fluoride through our skin. When we shower, we absorb fluoride equivalent to that found in a glass of fluoridated water (althealthworks.com/2252/why-absorbing-fluoride-in-the-shower-i). Do you enjoy long baths? Bathe children or pets? Brush your teeth, wash or shave in bathroom sink? Cook or wash fruits and vegetables or drink from kitchen tap? Wash dishes or clothes, exposing yourself to remaining film of fluoride? Water your garden, lawn, or houseplants? Use a pool or hot tub? Take your children to city water parks or pool? Go out to enjoy our fine eating and drinking establishments and coffee shops? Have children who use public showers and restrooms in schools or sports centres? This is just a partial list of how we are accumulating toxic fluoride into our bodies on a daily basis. It was stated on the Cranbrook website, as well as by dentists at our information meeting prior to the referendum, that Health Canada approves Hydrofluosilicic acid for our water system and that
it is non toxic. That is misleading as Health Canada has no studies done on its toxicity. Are we being lied to? Or is it wanted ignorance? Fluoride is toxic to our immune system and endocrine system.

Guest Editorial
Getting Results for B.C. Business F ebruary 16, 2015, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week. An opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province. This year, the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, along with all BC Chambers, are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers collectively bring to their business communities, to ensure B.C. is a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all citizens. This leadership delivers results. As a result of the B.C. Chambers’ vigorous advocacy the federal and provincial governments, working in partnership, were able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’s businesses: the launch of the Canada Job Grant in B.C. This program provides employers with the opportunity to apply for up $10,000 in training funds. The Canada Job Grant, funded by the Government of Canada and administered by the Province of B.C., is an innovative
cost-sharing program that helps employers offset the cost of training for new or current employees. Additional positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses in many areas include: Encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of govDavid D. ernment; Continuing to call for Hull solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and Encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development. The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, as active and engaged member of the BC Chamber of Commerce, joins Chambers throughout the province as part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry and sector specific issues. At the local level, Chambers throughout

Ice score five second-period goals for resounding win over Medicine Hat Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
With a five-goal outburst in the second period, the Kootenay Ice cruised to a 6-3 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers Wednesday night at Western Financial Place. The win snapped a three-game losing skid for the Ice, moving the team into the first wildcard seed in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. “We just did the little things right by moving the puck and shooting the puck when we had chances,” said Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau following the win. “That’s all we did tonight -- was get pucks to the net. It created rebounds for us and other opportunities.” The heaviest damage came over a span of 1:39 in the second period as Rinat Valiev, Vince Loschiavo and Tim Bozon scored in quick succession to spur the hosts to a 4-1 lead. Loschiavo’s goal was of the rebound variety while Bozon’s game-winning marker came after the native of Valbonne, France, took a long stretch feed from Valiev before walking in alone and wiring a bigleague snap shot over the shoulder of Tigers goaltender Marek Langhamer. Ice captain Sam Reinhart put home his team’s fourth goal of the second period with a power-play marker before Descheneau cleaned up a rebound 45 seconds before the second intermission. Descheneau finished the night with a goal and an assist. The Edmonton native’s first-period helper on Levi Cable’s game-opening goal was the 150th assist of his WHL career. It’s the second significant milestone the St. Louis Blues prospect has hit in the past week, as he recorded the 250th point of his WHL career Feb. 6 against the Brandon Wheat Kings. “I didn’t know until now, actually, and I didn’t know I scored my 250th point until after that game either,” De-
scheneau said with a smile. “I don’t look at that stuff. The only time I know is when I look at my Twitter feed after [a game]. That’s about it.” The two teams combined for six goals in the middle period as Tigers forward Cole Sanford made it a 1-1 game 2:54 into the period with a power-play tally of his own. After surrendering six goals on 25 shots, Langhamer was relegated to the bench for the third period as Tigers backup goaltender Nick Schneider came on in relief. With so much second-period scoring, it might have been easy to forget Cable’s game-opening goal, which came a lightning-quick 59 seconds into regulation. Skating in his 250th-career WHL game, the native of Hudson Bay, Sask., marked the occasion with a re-
bound goal -- his 24th of the campaign. “It’s really good to have a win like this, a big win,” Cable said Wednesday night. “It’s always nice any game, but to get it in my 250th [game] is pretty nice as well.” Cable finished the night with a goal and two assists. The Tigers rounded out the scoring with a pair of third-period goals as Chad Butcher put home his 17th of the season and Markus Eisenschmid collected his 18th of the campaign. Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 31 stops for his 27th victory of the campaign. Though the Kootenay Ice deployed a full lineup on the ice Wednesday night, there was a noticeable figure missing from the team’s bench as head coach Ryan McGill missed the game due to illness. In his place, assistant
coach Jay Henderson took over the operations and was joined by “interim assistant coach” Tanner Faith, making his coaching debut, who recently rejoined the team after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. “I never expected [to be behind the bench] at all,” Faith said with a grin Wednesday night. “It was fun. It was a different perspective from sitting up in the press box or even playing. “We moved the puck really well and we started getting a lot of shots on net -- quality shots, pucks where we’ll actu- can continue to support ally get rebounds and his teammates and fill a we scored off a couple leadership role off the ice despite not being able to there.” Faith, a 2014 fifth- contribute on the ice as round pick of the NHL’s the team pursues an Conference Minnesota Wild, skated Eastern in 19 games with the Ice playoff spot.

Giants knock off Oil Kings in Vancouver STE VE E WEN Vancouver Province
The Vancouver Giants managed two goals on Tristan Jarry in the Edmonton Oil Kings netminder’s first five starts against them in his WHL career. On Wednesday, the Giants beat Jarry twice in 44 seconds and it propelled them to a win. Vladimir Bobylev’s goal on the shift after Carter Popoff’s marker midway through the second period stood up as the winner in a 3-1 Vancouver triumph over the Oil Kings at the Pacific Coliseum before a crowd of 5,124. The victory vaulted the Giants (23-29-1-2) past the idle Kamloops Blazers (21-29-3-3) and into third place in the WHL’s B.C. Division. Those two wildcard spots look destined for U.S. teams. The Giants are six points in back of the Tri-City Americans (26-26-0-3) for the second of the two spots. “I think we’ve been working better the last four games or so and I think we’re on track more and we’re playing better,” said Giants coach Claude Noel, whose team has three wins and one loss in that span. “We’re earning the wins. We’re battling for the wins. Nothing is easy for us, but we’re getting the job done. “I found that our group is together. They’re dug in. They’re pushing for every ounce of what we’ve got. “It (holding down a playoff position) does us a lot of good because we feel good about ourselves.” They likely weren’t too positive about their state after the first period Wednesday, and once again because of Jarry, a North Delta native who is a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect. Jarry stoned Vancouver Jakob Stukel twice on breakaways in that opening frame, and Edmonton (25-26-4-2), behind a Lane Bauer tally, carried a 1-0 lead into the intermission. Popoff, off a nifty feed from Thomas Foster on a mini 2-on-1, beat Jarry to the glove side at 7:33 of the middle stanza, and then Bobylev snapped one low stick side from the top of the circles at 8:17 to give Vancouver a 2-1 cushion. Jarry, 19, who’s in his fourth season with Ed-
monton, had won his five previous starts against Vancouver, pitching three shutouts and two one-goal outings. He stopped 140-of-

142 shots in that span. He made 21 saves on Tuesday against Vancouver, who got a goal in the waning seconds into an empty net from Popoff.
Vancouver netminder Cody Porter was the better of the two goalies. The rookie finished with 31 saves. His best was probably at the 6:20 mark of the second, when he came out to cut down the angle and

Dynamiters-Thunder Cats first-round playoff series set Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
With the Creston Valley Thunder Cats falling to the Fernie Ghostriders 4-3 on Tuesday evening, the Kimberley Dynamiters officially clinched second place in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division. That sets up a firstround playoff match-up between the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats. Game One of the Dynamiters-Thunder Cats first-round series is slated for Feb. 20 at the Kimberley Civic Centre (7 p.m.). The Nitros and Thunder Cats have a
long-standing playoff rivalry, fuelled by a seven-game, second-round series last season that saw Creston Valley edge Kimberley in seven games.
After falling behind 3-1 in the 2013-14 second-round series with the Nitros, the Thunder Cats stormed back to win three consecutive games and take the series 4-3. Nitros goaltender
Tyson Brouwer took over the crease in Game 2, going 3-3. Up front, Eric Buckley, Jason Richter and Jared Marchi tallied two goals each. The seven-game war between the two Eddie Mountain Division rivals played out about as close as it could, with the Thunder Cats outscoring the Dynamiters 23-21 over the course of the series. Before getting too excited about post-season hockey, both the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats have two games remaining on their respective regular-season schedules. At 30-15-2-3 (65
points) the Dynamiters will finish second in the Eddie Mountain Division for the second consecutive season, regardless of what happens in the team’s final two
games of the season (Friday at Grand Forks, Sunday vs. Golden). At 27-17-1-5 (60 points), the Thunder Cats finish third in the Eddie Mountain Division, a year removed from claiming the divi-
sion title on the strength of a 39-11-1-1 record (80 points). The Thunder Cats wrap up their regular-season slate with a pair of home games against the Golden Rockets Friday and Saturday. The Fernie Ghostriders (35-11-1-2, 73 points) claimed the 2014-15 Eddie Mountain Division title and will face the fourthplace Golden Rockets in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs. The fifth-place Columbia Valley Rockies (11-32-0-6, 28 points) finish outside the playoff picture.

Blue Lake Centre offers Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership Program For the Townsman
With a lack of quality snow conditions in the region, snow oriented students may fear they will find themselves with little to do this spring break. Fortunately Blue Lake Centre is offering youth a final chance to embrace the fading winter season with their popular Winter Outdoor Youth Leadership program. Scheduled from March 15-22, this adventure program invites youth aged 14 to 18 to unplug and become a part of a tightly knit team of outdoor leaders while preparing for the challenge of a winter outdoor expedition. You don’t have to be an expert adventurer to participate. Students can expect to receive hand on winter outdoor training in cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trip preparation, winter safety, snow shelter building, and avalanche awareness skills. Equip-
Winter Outdoor Youth Leaders practice team building exercises at Blue Lake. ment rental is included. Youth will receive more than outdoor skills training. While participating in engaging workshops, students
will have the opportunity to develop essential leadership and teamwork skills. Lead by coordinator Nick Haberman, this newly updat-
ed program now also aspires to teach students practical career path development, community volunteerism, and will provide students with
the resources they need to continue their growth as future leaders in their home communities.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
