Bald Eagle rescued in Kimberley Two takes
on the B.C. budget
Teck staff and conservation officers rescue injured bald eagle in Kimberley
NDP, BC Liberals disagree on merit of budget
FOR THE BULLETIN
On February 10, Stewart Foisy, a Teck employee, was performing a daily inspection of the property at the reclaimed Sullivan Mine site when he noticed an injured bald eagle. Teck called the BC Conservation Officer Service in the East Kootenay Zone for assistance. Two conservation officers came to the property, captured the injured bald eagle and transported it to the Invermere “Birds of Prey” sanctuary for treatment. The bald eagle was found to be a young female with a bruised wing. After rehabilitation, the bird will be returned to Teck’s property in Kimberley to nest. “Through our reclamation activities and ongoing environmental stewardship efforts, Teck’s Sullivan Mine site is a robust natural habitat for many wildlife species,” said Michelle Unger, Senior Environmental Scientist, Teck. “Thanks to our active monitoring, we were able to facilitate the rescue of an injured bald eagle that would have likely succumbed to predators or starvation.”

The BC Liberal government delivered the budget this week at the Legislature in Victoria and Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP) was quick to label it ‘A handout to millionaires’. Macdonald took issue with a $230 million tax break for the top two per cent of income earmers. “Imagine what a billion dollars could do in education, on our highways, or in raising children out of property. But instead, if you earn a million dollars, Christy Clark is giving you a $17,000 bonus,” Macdonald said. “It’s absolutely absurd. I met a veteran. He makes $13,000 a year on disability. And his disability is clawed back from his pension. A millionaire gets a $17,000 tax cut and this veteran doesn’t even make that much. It’s completely, completely wrong. “We can’t fix roads, there’s no money. We can’t help with deer. There’s no money. But
the government can take care of a very privileged group who don’t need the help.” Macdonald points to increases continuing to hurt the average tax payer, whose pay remains stagnant. “BC Hydro rates are way up. Provincial parks fees are way up. And people will pay even more for Medical Services Plan premiums, a fee that no other province charges”, he said. He also points out that after heralding Liquid Natural Gas as the economic saviour, there is no mention of it in this year’s Throne Speech or budget. “They promised the first LNG plant would be online by 2015 and it’s nowhere on the horizon. And even after the first plant is up, it won’t produce revenue for seven or eight years. It’s clear now that none of it was true. There is nothing realistic about what the Premier says. Finally, Macdonald says that the so-called balanced budget and surplus is nothing but smoke and mirrors. “The surplus is money pulled out of BC Hydro and ICBC, as well as selling land and other assets. It’s a trick. I won’t be supporting this budget. See BUDGET, page 3

Budget 2015 Chef Shelby Schiller shines in showdown get combined with a surplus means that there will be additional resources to support those in need. Effective September 1, 2015, child support payments will be fully exempted from income assistance calculations. “The budget reaffirms government’s commitment to health care with a $3 billion increase to Ministry of Health spending over three years. “Our schools are winners as well. The budget reflects the government’s commitment to investing in schools and Kindergarten to Grade 12 education will receive additional funding of $564 million. “The budget demonstrates the government commitment to investing in infrastructure and has allocated $10.7 billion dollars in new capital projects that will continue to deliver core services and create jobs. “Above all the budget keeps taxes low for British Columbian families. What I can tell my Kootenay neighbors is that our fiscal success is the envy of all of other provinces as we continue to grow and prosper here in the Kootenays and throughout BC.”
Day 2 of Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge features two hearty soups and a packed house of happy guests
CRANBROOK – It was a perfect match up: two chefs with philanthropic hearts from restaurants that specialize in home-cooked classic comfort foods. They run the kind of place where the customers are friends, and the regulars are family. Chef Shelby Schiller of BJ’s Diner and Creekside Pub in Kimberley and Chef Barb Smythe of The Roadhouse Grill in Cranbrook put on an impressive show at today’s Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge. But only one chef could emerge a winner. Chef Schiller claimed Tuesday’s victory with a vegetable bean soup featuring sausage. The other soup, a butternut squash and carrot soup, also earned rave reviews from Salvation Army guests.
“They were both really good; I couldn’t decide and ended up casting one vote for each. I don’t think I was the only one who did that either,” said A.W., a guest of the Salvation Army who asked to be identified by her initials. “It was awesome,” said Chef Schiller of her experience. “Not too different than what you might expect in any restaurant – you show up, open the fridge, take a look at what’s there and turn it into the best soup possible. My strategy was to wing it. My goal was to create something hearty that was filling and flavourful.” “I came into the competition with an open mind,” said Chef Smythe. “But once I saw the butternut squash I pretty much had my plan. It’s one of my fa-
vourite flavours: unique but versatile.” Earlier this week, Chef Rusty Cox from the Hideout advanced against Graham Barnes of Max’s Place.
On Friday, Chef Marc Rathpoller of Tuscany’s will go against Sous Chef Doug Wagner of St Eugene Mission Resort in what will be the last Round 1
competition before the semi-final events, sponsored by College of the Rockies Professional Cook Training, begin next week. See Page 5

From Page 1 ”I’ll be speaking against it in the House outlining why it fails my constituents, and I will be voting against it.” Not surprisingly, BC Liberal Doug Clovechok, who will once again run for his party in the next provincial election, does not agree. “I am very proud to say that your BC Liberal government, as promised, introduced its third consecutive balanced budget with a projected surplus of $879 million,” Clovechok said. “No other province in Canada will achieve this goal. “There are three key principles are at the heart of Budget 2015; maintain public services like health care and education; strengthen and encourage growth in key economic sectors; and make life a little easier for families and those in need. “So what does it mean for people in the Kootenays? “Like in our own households we all try to pay down any debt that we might have. To this end the government will be using some of the surplus to pay down the provincial debt. “This balanced bud-

concert at Centre 64 on Saturday, February 21 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, February 22 at 6:30 p.m. with Clara as guest vocalist. “The community should recognize a sparkling diamond in its midst,” Sahlen says of Clara. “All the community has to do is hear her.” Some will have heard Clara’s voice already as she has appeared in many of the musicals presented by Selkirk and McKim students in the past few years. Her many roles already include Sister Amnesia in Nunsense, June in Gypsy, the leading role Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, and parts in other school and community productions. She also has directed, produced and choreographed. Clara trains with voice coach Ellen Bailey from Cranbrook on classical singing and gets a lot of help from Sven Heyde at Selkirk on musical theatre. She also attended a summer program at the University of California. There were only 12 people accepted into that program and only one from Canada. “I was one of the youngest people there at 16,” Clara said. She had an opportu-
Young people have big dreams, but it’s often harder to bring them to fruition when you come from a small town. Selkirk Grade 12 student Clara MacLeod has big dreams of Broadway, but understands that it’s a long road from Kimberley. Clara is beginning her journey with applications to performing arts schools in Eastern Canada and the United States. She is sending out the first of them this week. But how do you make yourself stand out when you are up against hundreds, perhaps thousands, of other talented students from across North America? That’s a question pianist Arne Sahlen contemplated when he was asked to accompany Clara for her audition CD. Sahlen is no stranger to assisting talented singers who might face challenges, having helped launch the career of Cambodian tenor Hy Chantavouth. He says he got similar chills listening to Clara for the first time. He will further assist Clara this weekend when he presents a Piano Soul and Spirit

This weekend’s program is family friendly, featuring a variety of music, with Sahlen presenting Mendelssohn, Bach, Mozart, jazz pop and ragtime, and Clara performing musical theatre favourites. The concert will take place in the dance studio (Studio 64) at Centre 64. Admission is by do-
nation and Food Bank donations are also welcome. As for the applications for performing arts school, Clara is keeping her hopes up and says that even if she never makes it to Broadway and a musical career, the experience will be invaluable. “The ultimate goal is Broadway, but I would also love to get a teaching degree and work with kids. I directed, produced an choreographed Willy Wonka last year and I loved it.”

Kootenay Cup racing in Kimberley Good racing conditions thanks to volunteers For the Bulletin
The Teck Kootenay Cup Series Races #5 and #6 took place on February 14 & 15, 2015, in beautiful Kimberley, B.C. Over 135 participants took part on Saturday and 120 participants on Sunday, with teams from Calgary, Canmore, Fernie, Golden, Invermere, Kimberley, Nelson, New Denver, Rossland, Slocan Valley, and Columbia Falls and Libby, Montana. Racers competed in either the Free technique race on Saturday or the Classic technique event on Sunday, and were pleasantly surprised at how good the trail conditions were, thanks to the hours of trail work, shovelling of snow and expert grooming by Wayne Gilbert, Derm Kennedy and many other volunteers. Conditions were sunny and fast on both days, making for lots of smiles all around!
The Fernie Nordic Society (216) has a narrow lead over the Toby Creek Nordic Ski Club (205), Kimberley Nordic Ski Club (193) and Golden Nordic Ski Club (166) following Teck Kootenay Cup #6. The final Teck Kootenay Cup is scheduled for March 1st in Nelson, weather permitting. For more results please visit www.zone4.ca. This year, for the first time, the Kimberley Junior Racers organized a very successful Valentine’s dinner and Silent Auction on the Saturday night. Ninety people attended the dinner, which was held at the Anglican Church Hall. Many racers from other clubs came to this dinner, and thought that it was one of the highlights of the weekend. We would like to thank all of the sponsors and to the 30-40 volunteers who dedicated their time, energy, and lots of delicious homemade food to make the Teck Kootenay Cup the great event it is: Thanks! Also, a big thank you to Teck for sponsoring this amazing event.

Memories are made of this If my failing memory serves me correctly, most of the following is true. It is not mis-remembered. It was a tad cruel of the press to publish cartoons of the well-known NBC anchor, Brian Williams, who has been mis-remembering his past. Lots of older people have false memory problems; it goes with the territory. However, being old myself, I don’t think that I ever have false memories. In fact, if someone corrects me on some trivial point when I am recounting some incident in my past, I become offended, agitated even. As for bad memories, I have to admit, I’ve forgotten them. The business of life, wrote someone, is the acquisition of memories and I agree. However, I don’t see the point of storing up bad ones. Forget them as I must have done. My ancient friend Pete and I both seem to have only fond memories of the war years in Britain. Nothing horrible happened to either of our families. At first, we were both too young to be enlisted and to fight but, when the time came to don uniforms, we had fun. I recall fondly the couple of years in The Royal Air Force in which I did nothing useful. Most of the time was spent in playing badminton, chasing girls and getting away from camp
as often as was possible. It was all very jolly; if anything bad happened, I don’t recall it. The cave in Cheddar must have been frightening at times. After we’d crawled in mud for hours in Stygian dark with only spluttering lamps to see with, we ended up in a dead-end cave. We sat on what appeared to be skeletal remains and waited the last of the party. Stout Harry, however, got Peter himself thoroughly stuck, Warland unable to move, and we were trapped. I have absolutely no memories of what our thoughts and worries must have been but I do recall my wife asking in aloud, clear voice, “Isn’t it about time for a diet, Harry?” Harry eventually extricated himself and so did the rest of us. One night that I remember vaguely was spent with two friends, John and Robbie, in a frail tent on a wild night in the mountains. We had very little sleep as we were battling the elements and trying hard not to lose our shelter. In a couple of lulls we read part of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and my fondest recollection of that episode was the sound of John Muir reading the part of the Lady Ophelia. “You are as good as a chorus, my lord,” he read in a squeaky, broad Scottish accent, “You are keen, my
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
lord. You are keen.” It was probably on the same trip when John was keen to murder me with a huge rock. He had been under the impression that it had been I who had loaded his already heavy pack with that boulder and had caused him much pain and suffering on the long march down the mountain but, as I fled and dodged, I was endeavouring to explain that he and I had been together all day and that we had left our packs while we went exploring and that, maybe Rob….? Strangely, I also recall playing the villain in a Christmas pantomime out at Fort Steele many years ago. At one time, as I was making threatening gestures towards Daisy the Cow, a small voice in the audience piped up, “You leave her alone; that’s my Mum!” Only last summer there were three of us and two large dogs lying on a sunny ridge of the Rockies with ravens circling over-head. My memory fails to drum up what it felt like as I had dragged my ancient body up those slopes that seem to get steeper and rougher each year but what stays clear and sharp is my thinking ‘Where on earth did the poet Poe get the idea that ravens croaked ‘Nevermore’. It’s more like a death rattle’ and the recumbent Jane remarking, “I expect they’re wondering if we are dead enough yet.” We moved on with alacrity.

Mystery Valentines
I would like to thank the person who places hand-made valentines on the trees of the homes along 34th Avenue each and every year. I really appreciate the thought that goes into this and I wanted to let that person know that we look forward to receiving these lovely decorations on our trees each year. Karen Clark Cranbrook
Watershed Concerns
I read in the paper that there are plans for more trails in the Mathew Creek watershed. I’m glad to see there was opposition from Kimberley City Council. Last fall I came across the 2.7 km upgrade to the “Round the Mountain” trail being built in the watershed. As it involved trees taken down and grub hoed portions into the bank I wrote my concerns to the environment minister who referred me to the trails part of the Forest Service. They told me that this was applied for in 2010 and was approved. They also said that the government had paid for removing the trees. After reading their study I felt they never took in account the effect the trails would have on the animals in the area. This upgrade was put right through prime wildlife cover and huckleberry patches. I felt that it could eventually push elk and
bears into town as they got used to more people. The elk are all around us now and compared to deer you don’t want that problem showing up in town. A lot of bears, including grizzlies, are right close to that part of the trail. I’ve seen wolves chasing elk down the trail. The Forest Service agreed this could send more animals into town but felt it would happen anyway. Why risk it so close to city limits? If those grizzlies do show up in town chances are they will be destroyed. There are trails all through the Nature Park and into the Horsebarn Valley which is getting out of city limits and pushing into the watershed from the east. This was all historic prime winter range for mule deer as it is part of Sunflower Hill. I believe a good reason we have a deer problem in Kimberley now. I see now they want to use old logging roads in Bootleg for more trails. This is the west side of our watershed. There is already a bike trail that comes right down to the flats that I never saw before last fall. I asked the Forest Service if this was legally cut but never did get an answer. They did say that trails were to be kept to a minimum on the Bootleg side. If they want to use old logging roads why did they quit using the old road that the Round the Mountain upgrade was made to bypass? There was also a trail just above it that could have been used so I could see no reason for that 2.7 km of new trail. You can clearly see the scar of this trail from the
Bootleg road. I talked to people working on the upgrade who assured me that this would be the last trail applied for in our watershed. That was in October. Obviously they did have more plans. Do we want mountain bike trails all over our watershed? I hope City Council, being a watershed stakeholder, opposes this as these trails are escalating at an alarming rate. Randy Wallach Marysville
Very Wrong
Kill them! Kill them all in increments. No deer has ever killed a human. Deer herds are rare now. Bucks even more rare. It is very wrong. Very. But that’s what you’re all about — destruction in the name of “protecting” the public. They are part of God’s great creation. There are alternatives. Again, I will state publicly that culls are not the answer. It is wrong. Just over 52 per cent of the world’s species are gone now … are you concerned? Wake up! Some of these deer may be already pregnant for all you know, given that there wasn’t much of a winter and it’s like spring already. Rhonda (Jackson) Brass Cranbrook
Jewish Mass Emigration From Europe?
“W
e’re not waiting around here to die,” said Johan Dumas, one of the survivors of the siege at the kosher supermarket during the “Charlie Hebdo” terrorist attack in Paris in January. He had hidden with others in a basement cold room as the Islamist gunman roamed overhead and killed four of the hostages. So, said Dumas, he was moving to Israel to be safe. It’s not really that simple. The seventeen victims of the terrorist attacks included some French Christians, a Muslim policeman, four Jews, and probably a larger number of people who would have categorised themselves as “none of the above.” It was a Muslim employee in the supermarket who showed Dumas and other Jewish customers where to hide, and then went back upstairs to distract the gunman. And the Middle East isn’t exactly safe for Jews. Dumas has been through a terrifying experience. He now feels like a target in France, and no amount of reassurance from the French government that it will protect its Jewish citizens will change his mind. But Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu didn’t help much either. What Netanyahu said after the Paris attacks was this: “This week, a special team of ministers will convene to advance steps to increase immigration from France and other countries in Europe that are suffering from terrible anti-Semitism. All Jews who want to immigrate to Israel will be welcomed here warmly and with open arms. We will help you in your absorption here in our country, which is also your country.” He was at it again after a Jewish volunteer guarding a synagogue in Copenhagen was one of the two fatal victims of last
week’s terrorist attack in Denmark. “Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews,” he said, “and this wave of terrorist attacks — including murderous anti-Semitic attacks — is expected to continue.” “Of course, Jews deserve protection in every country but we say to Jews, to our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immifrom Europe.” Gwynne gration As you might imagine, this did not go down well Dyer with European leaders who were being told that their countries were so anti-Semitic that they are no longer safe for Jews. It is true that five of the nineteen people killed in these two terrorist attacks in Europe since the New Year were Jewish, which is highly disproportionate. But it is also true that the killers in all cases were Islamist extremists, who also exist in large numbers in and around Israel. French President Francois Hollande said: “I will not just let what was said in Israel pass, leading people to believe that Jews no longer have a place in Europe and in France in particular.” In Denmark Chief Rabbi Jair Melchior rebuked Netanyahu, saying that “terror is not a reason to move to Israel.” The chair of Britain’s Parliamentary committee against anti-Semitism, John Mann, attacked Netanyahu’s statement that the only place Jews could now be safe was Israel. “Mr Netanyahu made the same remarks in Paris — it’s just crude electioneering. It’s no coincidence that there’s a general election in Israel coming up … We’re not prepared to tolerate a situation in this country or in any country in Europe where any Jews feel they have to leave.”
It is crude electioneering on Netanyahu’s part — but it is also true that even in Britain, where there have been no recent terrorist attacks, Jews are worried. Statistically, Jews are at greater risk from terrorism in Israel, but it’s much scarier being a Jewish minority in a continent where Jews were killed in death camps only 70 years ago. Given Europe’s long and disgraceful history of antisemitism, it’s not surprising that such sentiments persist among a small minority of the population. But at least in Western Europe (which is where most European Jews live) the great majority of people regard antisemitism as shameful, and most governments give synagogues and Jewish community centres special protection. What European Jews fear is not their neighbours in general, but radicalised young Islamists among their Muslim fellow citizens. The Muslim minorities in the larger Western European countries range between 4 and 10 percent of the population. If only one in a hundred of them is an Islamist then Jews do face a threat in those countries. But it is a very small threat. Nine Jews have been killed by Islamist terrorists in the European Union in the past year in three separate incidents (Belgium, France and Denmark). The Jewish population of the EU is just over one million, mostly living in France, the United Kingdom and Germany. Nine Jewish deaths by terrorism in a year in the EU is deplorable, but it hardly constitutes a good reason for encouraging mass emigration to Israel. Still, Netanyahu has an election to fight, and this sort of thing goes down well in Israel. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist living in London

Clean slate
Kimberley Dynamiters & Creston Valley Thunder Cats ready to do battle as KIJHL playoffs open Friday Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kimberley Civic Centre will be home to a fresh slate Friday night -- a clean sheet of ice and Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal between the Kimberley Dynamiters and Creston Valley Thunder Cats. “What’s happened up until now really doesn’t mean a whole lot,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Wednesday afternoon. “It’s what happens now. Yesterday’s news is today’s garbage. It’s a fresh start for everybody, every player involved.” The Dynamiters finished the regular season second in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division with a record of 3215-2-3 and 69 points, good enough for homeice advantage in the first round of the KIJHL post-season. The Thunder Cats wrapped the campaign third in the division at 28-18-1-5 with 62 points. In eight regular season games between the two clubs, the Dynamiters came out with a mark of 5-1-0-2, while the Thunder Cats went 3-4-0-1. “[The Dynamiters] have been on a real good run in the last six weeks and they’re a real strong team on their home ice,” Thunder Cats head coach Jeff Dubois told Brian Lawrence of the Creston Valley Advance Feb. 17. “Right through our lineup and staff, you know anything less than a pretty complete effort isn’t going to get the job done against a team of that calibre.” The Nitros outscored the Thunder Cats 27-20, but the season series saw three games require overtime. Within the eight-game season series, seven contests were decided by two goals or less, the only outlier being a 7-2 Dynamiters victory Feb. 3. While the regular-season series went to the Dynamiters, the best-of-seven Eddie Mountain Division semifinal series is the one that matters. The Dynamiters
cruise into the post-season on the strength of a 14-1-1-0 mark in 2015, including a 10-game winning streak to close out the campaign. “You keep your routines the same and keep doing what you’ve been doing all along,” Bancks said. “Obviously, it has been working. I’ve got a group of guys that I’ve got strong, strong belief in. I only hope they have the same belief in themselves. “As a coach, you try to give them an environment where they develop as players and people. I’ve got the best group of guys I’ve ever worked with. I can say that in all sincerity... They all want to be together and create a special memory. That’s what playoffs are about. “The hay’s in the barn. It’s up to the players. Hopefully they want to play for each other and do what it takes to be successful. If they do that, I firmly believe this is a group that can go on a good run.” The Thunder Cats come into the playoffs having gone 6-3-0-1 over their previous 10 games and after a slow start to the season, have proved one of the hottest teams in the KIJHL’s Kootenay Conference since January rolled around. “There’s a lot of preparation that goes in based on what we want to do with our systems and preparing our guys for what they’re going to see coming out of Kimberley,” Dubois said. “We’re trying to maintain our condition and be fresh and focused for when the series starts Friday.” For the Thunder Cats, the preparation began Tuesday afternoon in Kimberley, as they travelled all the way from Creston to practice in the Kimberley Civic Centre. It’s no question the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats are entrenched in heated rivalry, so the presence of Dubois and his crew in the Kimberley Civic Centre Tuesday afternoon was a curious sight with Game 1 not slated until Friday night. “I thought that was
interesting. Obviously, they have a good budget and they can afford to do that,” Bancks said. “I’m of the belief you don’t change your routines. You keep doing what you’re doing. “I feel we’ve played enough in their rink that we know it. They’ve got quite a few returning players from last year that I thought would know our rink. “I was kind of surprised to see them here [in Kimberley].” On ethical grounds, Bancks left the rink as soon as the Thunder Cats hit the ice, ensuring his players left with him. “You’ve got to make sure you respect your opponent,” Bancks said, “but focus on what you do. I was a little surprised they did that [practiced in Kimberley], but every coach has a different idea.” Thunder Cats head coach/general manager Jeff Dubois did not respond to request for comment by print deadline Wednesday. Whether Dubois’ idea pays off remains to be seen, but fans will get the opportunity to take it all in at the Kimberley Civic Centre Friday night at 7 p.m. when the puck drops on Game 1 between the Creston Valley Thunder Cats and Kimberley Dynamiters.
What to watch for:
Forward Dynamiters: Captain Jason Richter has been the heart and soul of the Nitros since the puck dropped to start the season. Having laid claim to the KIJHL scoring title with 39 goals and 70 points, Kimberley’s captain will need to be at his best if the Dynamiters are to come out of the first round. Secondary scoring will need to come from the likes of Braden Saretsky, Coy Prevost, Lincoln Lane, Keenan Haase. As good as Richter is, he isn’t a one-man team. Mix in Sawyer Hunt, Jared Marchi and Jordan Roy, and the Nitros have depth to envy. All three had their seasons shortened due to injury, but shouldn’t be ignored for

Last season, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats knocked off the Kimberley Dynamiters in seven games during the Eddie Mountain Division final. In 2015, the two clubs meet again in a best-of-seven divisional semifinal match-up beginning Friday at the Kimberley Civic Centre. their two-way play. Thunder Cats: Carson Cartwright led the charge offensively for the Thunder Cats with 31 goals 61 points, while Alec Wilkinson proved a danger set-up man with 40 assists and 51 points. After coming to the Creston Valley via the Westshore Wolves of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, Kyle Richter provided a strong influx up front with 13 goals and 31 points through 23 games. It seems as though anytime you look to the net, Thunder Cats captain Marcel Fuchs is parked on the doorstep causing problems for the opposition. With Connor Ward providing 18 goals worth of offense, Creston Valley’s depth up front is nothing to turn a nose up at. Defence Dynamiters: Jordan Busch has been a stalwart on the backend for the Dynamiters this season. Though he only missed four games, his absence was noticeable in those outings. With eight goals and 45 points, Busch quarterbacks the power play and fuels the transition game. Since joining the Nitros at the trade deadline via the Okotoks Oilers of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Justin Meier has provided a hard-
nosed presence previously missing from the lineup. In 12 games, Meier racked up 84 minutes in penalties, and managed to post three goals and three assists. In between Busch and Meier sit a strong supporting cast featuring the likes of Jonas Gordon, James Jowsey, Rory Mallard, Tyler Kinnon and Charles Dagostin. All year, Bancks praised this group for their character and it’s that sort of character that can often be the difference-maker in a tight-checking series. Thunder Cats: A pair of 18-year-olds lead the Thunder Cats on the backend, with KIJHL rookie Austin Steger and Maverick Lynes eating up significant minutes. Steger led the Thunder Cats with 10 goals from the blue-line, while Lynes tallied 23 assists as the puck-mover. Goal Solid one-two punches between the pipes is the name of the game in this series. Dynamiters: Tyson Brouwer leads the Nitros into battle. The Lethbridge native is known for making the big save when the game is on the line. He came on in relief of Jeremy Mousseau in last year’s series between the Dynamiters and Thunder Cats. Brouwer wrapped
the regular season topfive in the KIJHL in wins (25, second), minutes played (2,173, third) and goals-against average (2.37, fourth). Acquired at the trade deadline from the Kamloops Storm in exchange for future considerations, Brody Nelson has used his big body to backstop the Dynamiters to a handful of big victories. Should Brouwer falter, life doesn’t get much easier for scorers with Nelson in net.
Thunder Cats: Brock Lefebvre carried the bulk of the workload during the regular season, going 13-17-1-0 with a 3.29 GAA and 0.906 save percentage, and was between the pipes for all three of his team’s victories over the Dynamiters. Backup Mitchell Martell was strong in relief of Lefebvre through the season, wrapping the campaign with a 13-5-10 record on the strength of a 2.69 GAA and 0.910 save percentage.

The Big Sugar Acoustic Experience Staff
Key City Theatre and Western Financial are Proud to present “The Acoustical Sounds of Big Sugar” Monday March 2 at 7:30 p.m. Big Sugar have always been known for their powerful, high volume live performances. Soon, audiences will get a rare chance to see Gordie Johnson and the entire Big Sugar family in an intimate and entirely acoustic setting at Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. “Most of our songs were written and conceived on acoustic instruments,” Johnson said. “This performance gives folks a chance to hear the influences that inform our style.” Reggae, Blues and Jazz, have always walked hand in hand with the
rocking Big Sugar sound. Here they will be at the forefront as showcased on their new release “Yardstyle.” In an interview with the Townsman last year, prior to Big Sugar’s performance at JulyFest in Kimberley, Johnson discussed “Yardstyle” and its creation. Mr Chill’s blues harmonica and Johnson’s vocals mixed with Jamaican folk rhythms and Garry Lowe’s signature bass lines along with a stage of brethren are sure to conjure an unforgettable concert experience. Tickets are $40 and $35 for Key City Theatre members. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250426-7006 and Online at www.keycitytheatre. com

The Royal Opera House’s production of “Andrea Chénier” to Columbia Theatres in Cranbrook at the end of the month for a limited two-screening engagement. The opera is making its Canadian debut at 30 cinemas nation-wide, including Cranbrook, on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 11 a.m., with an encore performance on Monday, March 9, at 6:30 p.m. Jonas Kaufmann stars as Andrea Chénier, the pre-romantic poet embroiled in the French revolution in this stunning opera. Conducted by Antonio Pappano and directed by David McVicar, the new production for The Royal Opera is a fictionalized account of the life of Chénier, opening during the opulence of pre-revolutionary France and coming to its climatic end in the final days of the “Reign of Terror.” The story begins in 1789 at a lavish winter garden party in Paris where Chénier falls in love with the beautiful aristocratic Maddalena, sung by Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek. Six years later Maddalena has lost everything and France has descended into a city consumed by suspicion and fear. Composed by Umberto Giordano, the opera,not seen at Covent Garden since 1985, is famed for its challenging tenor role and big arias. Staged to great visual effect from the palaces to the streets of Paris in a swath of patriotic colours “Andrea Chénier” will be an
I have been very interested in prenatal care for a while and recently expanded my training and knowledge in the field by attending a certification course to become a Naturopathic doula in September 2014. Although I currently will not be attending births, there is so much benefit for mom and baby by including Naturopathic care prenatally as well as the weeks leading up to labour. A Naturopathic Doctor can be part of your health care team which can include midwives, doulas, medicals doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists and more. For prenatal care I typically use diet/lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine (herbs), supplements (minerals and nutrients) and acupuncture. I help ensure you are taking the right supplements and educate about healthy diet/lifestyle. I address any concerns during pregnancy like nausea, fatigue, swelling, constipation, leg cramps and anemia. In addition, I can help with prevention of group B strep and acupuncture to prepare the body for labour. I should also note that I can help with preconception care, infertility and miscarriages as well as post-natal for post-partum depression and mastitis. Naturopathic Doctors are covered by most extended health care plans and many of these plans we can bill directly in office including but not limited to: Pacific Blue Cross, Great West Life, Sunlife and Manulife.

Koocanusa Management Plan With
MLA,
Bill Bennett
1
We are creating a management plan for Lake Koocanusa and area. Building on the important work done by the Cranbrook West Recreation Access Committee, the Province, the Ktunuxa, CBT and the RDEK are building a plan that protects wildlife habitat, responsible recreation and agricultural grazing without diminishing the fun that we all like to have at Koocanusa.
2
Koocanusa should be able to sustain camping, boating, fishing, quading, hiking and hunting but we all know that some activities at Koocanusa do not respect the land or the precious natural recreation asset we have there. The plan will accommodate most activities but there will be a few rules.
3
Please watch for folks this summer who will be around Koocanusa asking questions about your recreation. And let me know how you think the area should be managed. To start, the 14 day maximum for crown land camping will be enforced in 2015 and over the next year, we will identify trails for motorized use and work towards a complete management plan for 2016 that deals with the chronic problems of invasive weeds, large uncontrolled parties, litter and degradation of the land.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
Aging and driving: Take inventory of your abilities Getting behind the wheel and enjoying the freedom to travel is a luxury few are anxious to abandon. But there comes a time in nearly every person’s life when he or she must take inventory of his or her driving and assess if that next joy ride is a safe and smart decision. Driving may help older adults remain independent and mobile, but the chance for a motor vehicle accident increases as one ages. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says fatal crash rates per mile traveled increase starting at age 75 and increase notably after age 80. This is largely due to increased susceptibility to injury and medical complications among older drivers rather than an increased tendency to get into crashes. Road accidents tend to increase around a person’s 65th birthday. Authorities in Cana-
da require physicians to warn patients if the doctors have any concerns about their patients’ ability to drive. Doctors also must report these concerns. There are no such requirements in the United States, where individual drivers and families must use their own judgement to decide if it is still safe for a particular person to be on the road. Minor fender benders, traffic citations, trouble remembering directions or frequently visited stores, may be early indications that a driver is no longer at his or her best behind the wheel. Some experts say that families should institute driving directives, much in the way a person would spell out medical desires or end-of-life plans. This way, when the time comes to assess driving ability, the conversation already has been started.
There is no set age when a person’s keys should be taken away, as aging does not guarantee drivers’ abilities will decline. In fact, there are many things people can do to prolong their time on the road. • Get routine vision and hearing checks. These examinations will help to determine your fitness to be on the road and shed light on any issues that need to be addressed. Those who wear contact lenses or glasses may need to update their prescriptions. • Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can affect the body in many ways, including reducing reaction time. Falling asleep while driving can compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers and fellow motorists. • Know your medications. Certain medications can make you drowsy, so read the labels so you know not to

drive while taking them. Speak with your doctor to see if there are any substitutes that won’t affect your performance behind the wheel. • Recognize your
limitations. You may not like driving at night or in inclement weather. Stick to driving when you feel most comfortable. • Enroll in a refresher course. Sign up for a
defensive driving course to review your driving skills. Not only may it make you safer on the road, but it also may help reduce your insurance rates. Getting older
doesn’t mean you have to quit driving right away. Recognize the signs of a decline in driving ability and figure out how long it is safe to remain behind the wheel.
Warning signs a tire is about to go flat
Few drivers will be fortunate enough to go their entire driving lives without encountering at least one flat tire. Flat tires range from the inconvenient flats, which may interrupt a road trip or make drivers late for work or an appointment, to more dangerous blowouts, which can compromise the safety of drivers, their passengers and anyone else on the road when the tire gives out. But as inconvenient or dangerous as flats or blowouts can be, they also can be prevented more often than not. Tires often produce warning signs that a flat or blowout is about to emerge, so drivers who want to avoid such unfortunate developments can inspect their tires for the following signs. • Varying wear: Tires should exhibit the same type of wear. The wear on front tires and back tires may differ, but one front tire should have the same amount of wear as the other and the same goes for the back tires. Uneven tread on tires indicates that the tire with more wear could be about to go out. • Worn tread: Even drivers who know little about cars can typically recognize when tire tread has worn down to the point where the tire is a safety risk. But drivers who are unsure can employ the quarter test. Insert a quarter into the tread of the tire, with George Washington’s head upright. If you can see the hairline of the United States’ first president, then you need to replace the tire. Perform this test on each of your vehicle’s four tires. • Low pressure: Drivers who do not routinely check their tire pressure
Routinely checking tire pressure and inflating underinflated tires is one way drivers can reduce their risk of flat tires and blowouts. are more likely to endure a flat or blowout than those who regularly make sure their tires are at the manufacturer-recommended pressure, which can be found in a vehicle owner’s manual or by calling the tire manufacturer or visiting their website. An underinflated tire is under stress that can cause the tire to blowout. In addition, poorly inflated tires force engines to work harder, which
negatively affects a car’s fuel efficiency. • Vibration: A car that vibrates excessively may do so because tires are damaged. Poor suspension is another cause of excessive vibration. Whatever is behind a car that is vibrating, drivers should immediately take the car to their mechanic for an inspection. • Physical damage to the tire: Sometimes tires exhibit physical damage
like bulges or cuts, and such signs could mean a flat tire or blowout is just around the corner. Tires that exhibit such physical damage need to be replaced immediately. Flat tires and blowouts can prove both scary and inconvenient. Drivers who want to avoid such problems should routinely inspect their tires for indicators that a flat or blowout is likely to occur.

Cottonwood and the Search for Arizona Wine
The interior of the Arizona Stronghold Tasting Room.
Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel visits an historic, old west town that it still is.
A
azcomgroup.com
few weeks ago, I was visiting family in Phoenix and we took a drive north to the Verde Valley, and discovered a little gem of a town – Cottonwood. Originally a mining town, it is located in the County of Yavapai in the heart of the Verde Valley on the banks of the Verde River. A semi-arid climate with temperatures ranging from highs of 13C to lows of -3C in winter, highs of 36C to lows of 20C in summer, with only 33cm of precipitation per year, this makes for good grape growing, and this town offers many tasty wines – who knew? Though only 20 minutes from Sedona, you feel quite removed from the busy, touristy, refined city of Sedona. Cottonwood is close enough to feature similar red rock formations and canyons, but removed enough to remind you of the historic, old west town that it still is. The main street features antique shops, local art galleries, bakeries, shops, and of course, saloons. The Blazin M Ranch is only a few minutes outside town along the Verde River and of-
fers a Old Wild West Show, a saloon, and a great rib BBQ. Wandering the main street, I found one after another wine tasting rooms! Wineries in this area are all small producers, so you taste wines you won’t find anywhere else, and once you are finished tasting, you get to keep the souvenir glass - great conversation pieces for your next happy hour gathering! The Arizona Stronghold Tasting Room is quaint, funky, fun and relaxed. Guests enjoy tasting flights while playing a game of backgammon or chess, with local cheese plates. Local art covers the walls. The staff are young, knowledgeable and excited to share their wines. No one is in a hurry here, very laidback. Reminds me of our Nelson vibe in the Kootenays. Burning Tree Cellars Tasting Room features leather sofas and live music. Great wines, comparable to those from California, Washington and Oregon. Fire Mountain Wines, just down the main street, is known for its wine and
chocolate pairing flights. Alcantara Vineyards is located just outside town on the banks of the Verde River. A beautiful vista of vineyards and the river, they have a small bistro and outdoor patio. ‘Charlie Brown’, the resident chocolate lab wanders from table to table greeting the guests. So there is wine tasting there, but is there anything else to do? Of course. Horseback trail rides, skydiving over the red rock canyons, golf, balloon rides, hiking, biking and more. At night, Kactus Kate’s Saloon gets going, and there’s live music at the Main Stage. There are sufficient hotels and B&B’s, and of course, much less expensive than comparable dwellings in the more popular Sedona. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth checking out. And if you’re a bit of a wine snob like me, you’ll be pleasantly impressed with the selections! For more information, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime T rav e l 250.489.4788.
Some news about Dr. Seuss Recently discovered book coming in July Associated Press
NEW YORK - More than 20 years after his death, there is still plenty of news about Dr. Seuss. Random House Children’s Books said Wednesday it will publish a recently discovered manuscript with illustrations called “What Pet Should I Get” on July 28. The publisher plans at least two more books, based on materials found in 2013 in the author’s home in La Jolla, California, by his widow and secretary. The author whose real name was Theodor Geisel died in 1991. Random House associate publishing director Cathy Goldsmith says “What Pet Should I Get?” was likely written between 1958 and 1962. The book features the same brother and sister seen in Dr. Seuss’ 1960 classic “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.”

Burmese family finds new home in Creston Lorne Eckersley Creston Valley Advance
“Good, but cold,” Jay Dan says of his family’s first winter in Canada. Jay Dan, with his wife, Ahnin, their two children, Merry (nearly three years old) and Joshua (10 months) were joined by Jay Dan’s brother, Naw Naw, when they made the long-awaited trip from Malaysia to Canada to begin a new life in early December. The family of five is now residing in Creston, with a one-year commitment of backing from the Creston Refugee Committee, and the support of the federal government. The adults are Kachin people, from Northern Burma, or Myanmar, who have lived for years as refugees in Malaysia after fleeing from the military dictatorship in their homeland. After less than three months in Canada, Jay Dan is more than willing to talk about his life, which has been one of fear since 2007. “I came back from church with two friends at 9 p.m. and saw a girl crying,” he recalled. Despite his own experience as a forced labourer on a road construction crew since the
age of 13, Jay Dan intervened. He and his friends put themselves between two soldiers and the girl. “We talked to the soldiers and said this girl is our friend, she did nothing wrong. They didn’t listen. They said, ‘Go away, this is not your business. If you don’t want to die or go to jail, just go away.’ ” The young soldiers had been drinking alcohol, he said. Jay Dan’s friends took on the soldiers while he rushed her away to her home. “When I came back to my home, my mother is weeping. She said I did wrong with the soldiers and they had been here.” “They will be back again,” she said. “You have to leave.” She had packed clothing and rice for Jay Dan and he left immediately, at 10 p.m. He spent the next seven nights and eight days walking the 219 miles to the nearest city, where he had been attending university. A friend put him up, placing himself at risk. The soldiers, he learned, continued to search for him and his mom got a message to Jay Dan that he needed to go to Malaysia. “Save your life,” she
pleaded. “You cannot stay in Burma.” Jay Dan was given a phone number and name to contact. Eventually travel, reminiscent of the movie Trains, Planes and Automobiles, was arranged for his escape to Malaysia. Boats, buses, trucks and foot travel transported a group of seven. “I was very, very much afraid,” he said. “But I had no choice. Needed to move. I worried all the way to Malaysia.” In his temporary home he was provided with United Nations refugee documents, but his worries were far from over. There were no refugee camps or supports and Jay Dan often worked 12-14 hours a day at menial jobs. Low wages and cash payments were the norm — United Nations-documented refugees were easy to take advantage of. Three times in the next several years he was robbed of his month’s wages at knifepoint. Thieves also stole his cellphone each time. “After the robberies it was difficult. Without money you can’t eat or buy food or pay rent. I managed to borrow some money but it was a very difficult time.”

Creston’s newest refugee family, Ahnin and Jay Dan, with their children, Merry and Joshua, and Jay Dan’s brother, Naw Naw. Jay Dan met Ahnin, also a refugee, and they started dating in 2009. They had met, but not dated, years earlier in Burma. They married in 2010. Ahnin’s crime was refusing to give up her family’s pig to demanding soldiers. She fled after being threatened with death, arriving in Malaysia in 2008. Even as a couple, Jay Dan and Ahnin were routinely harassed by authorities, and had to pay bribes to escape arrest and detention. Meanwhile, back at home, Jay Dan’s younger brother, Naw Naw (the pronunciation is closer to No No), was becoming the replacement for
the wrath of Myanmar soldiers. He was physically abused and threatened with forced military recruitment if he failed to reveal his brother’s whereabouts. Again, the boys’ parents made the sacrifice, urging Naw Naw to leave their country for sanctuary in Malaysia, knowing they might never see either of their sons again. Naw Naw arrived in Malaysia in 2010. “Naw Naw had to come to Malaysia because of me,” Jay Dan said. While he hasn’t spoken to his parents since last year, Jay Dan said his parents know of the family’s move to Canada.
“My parents are very happy now. They think my life and family is safe, that it is very good now. They say thanks to the United Nations and to the Canadian government and people.” While he wishes he could believe his parents would one day follow, he knows it is unlikely. “It is not easy for them to leave now — they are old. They have grandchildren they haven’t seen. It is very difficult for them. I miss my parents and hometown — I always will.” For now, the family focuses on the present. They study English with a tutor each day and Naw Naw works as a
dishwasher for two hours each night. Living in Creston is a blessing, Naw Naw said. “Cities have more problems. We like small towns because we grew up in a village. We are safe here,” he smiled. The adults all speak surprisingly good English — they also learned Chinese and Malay in their efforts to land better jobs while waiting to be transferred to a new country. Each is quick to echo the gratitude of their elders, wanting to pass on their thanks to the refugee committee and Creston Valley residents who have made them feel welcome and safe.
Kootenay-Columbia candidates not yet confirmed for all federal parties Da n Wa lto n Invermere Valley Echo
The federal Green and Conservative parties have nominated their candidates to represent the the riding of Kootenay-Columbia, while the NDP and Liberals are still deciding. Bill Green from Kimberley represented the Green Party in the 2011 federal election, and he’ll be taking another shot at the local riding again this year. “I am really excited to be the Green Party candidate for the 2015 federal election and we are going to run a very strong campaign in the upcoming election,” he told The Valley Echo. The Conservative candidate selection process was open to all members and resulted in the
re-nomination by acclamation of current Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks. “David Wilks is much more than a back-bencher,” said Dave Reeves, president of the Kootenay-Columbia Conservative Association in a press release, “now serving on several parliamentary committees, including Justice, where his RCMP background is so valuable.” A spokesperson for the Liberal Party said that prospective candidates for the local riding are still being screened, but that the party will be ready with a candidate in every riding in the case of an early snap election. Betty Aitchison, who represented the Liberals in the 2011 and 2008 elections, told The Val-
ley Echo that she would not be running again. The NDP will be holding their nomination event for the Kootenay-Columbia riding on Sunday, March 15th in Cranbrook. Mark Shmigelsky, who ran for the NDP in 2011 (and the Liberal Party in 1997) said he will not be running again. There is speculation that former Cranbrook mayor Wayne Stetski will earn the nomination. Because of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the Kootenay-Columbia riding will be expanding to include Nelson, Salmo, and Kaslo. Unless an election is called sooner, the 42nd Canadian federal election will be held on Monday, October 19th.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week February 15 - 21 Dav e Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1907 Election … The civic election to-day passed off very quietly, in fact so much that a stranger in town would have been surprised to learn that an election was in progress. With the exception of Messrs. Gill, McGowan and Flowers, none of the candidates made any effort to secure their election, and in fact some of them, including Messrs. Baker, Ryan and Henderson, were out of town, while others did not go near the polls except to cast their own votes. The result of this lack of interest was manifest in the small vote, only 201 votes being cast out of a total of 385 on the voters’ list. The new officials - MAYOR: James Finlay. ALDERMEN: J. P. Fink, Andrew McGowan, T. S. Gill, Joseph Jackson, H. Hickenbotham, James Ryan. Ambulance is ordered … No longer will men have to be taken in an open rig in all kinds of weather from the train to the hospital. No longer will women who are ill have to be bundled on the bottom of a spring wagon to be conveyed to the hospital. Through the generosity, of the people of’ the district an ambulance is assured, and has been ordered. It will be here within a short time and placed in commission at once. Is not, that glorious news? Are not the people of this section all right? They have red blood in their veins and hearts that beat in sympathy with suffering humanity. The Herald says thanks to the people a thousand times on behalf of the men who inaugurated the movement. It was a grand, humane movement, and it proved a grand and glorious success. Lumber prices … Lumber has hit the highest mark in price ever known in history, and there are prospects that another advance may be made. Yesterday an advance of one dollar to three dollars per thousand feet was made by the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, the increase to take effect immediately. At these prices the man who builds a house will have to pay something for construction, even if he is lucky enough to be able to get the lumber. Owing to the great scarcity of logs, and the fact that practically all the mills are short of raw matter, bonuses over and above the list rates are reported to have been paid, during the past thirty days. Logs are be-
coming scarcer every day, and it is assumed by some contractors that the bonus system will still be an effective means of getting orders filled. New bank building ... Information has been received to the effect that the Imperial Bank are now preparing plans for a handsome, building on the site of its present building, opposite the Cranbrook Hotel. The structure will be two story, and of either brick or stone, and modern in every detail. This will make a great improvement in that part of the town. Federal building for cranbrook ... Steps are being taken to urge action on the part of the Dominion parliament to make at this session a preliminary appropriation for a federal building in this city. The receipts of the customs’ department and the post office in Cranbrook have arrived at that stage where this town is entitled to a federal building, and the matter will no doubt receive favorable consideration before this session, of parliament closes. !Notice! ... The party who took my coon skin coat out of my blacksmith shop on Wednesday of last week may return the same and no questions will be asked. Otherwise the matter will be given over to the proper authorities. Geo. Kennedy Sent a bill … A bill for $70 from the provincial government for the keep of John Riley, a prisoner sent to Nelson for six months at hard labor without the option of a fine, was referred to the city solicitor with power to act. The solicitor holds the opinion that the city is not liable since the prisoner was sent down without the option of a fine. 1908 Big race meet … Although the dates of Cranbrook’s two race meetings, May 2nd & 3rd, are only approximate, still they will take place within a day or two of the dates given. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the mind of every individual in Cranbrook and the district that these race meetings and the fall fair in September will be of great benefit to the district. The western racing circuit extends as far east as Moose Jaw, so that Cranbrook will have horsemen and their friends from all over the middle west, besides a large contingent from the Kootenays and the boundary. The circuit begins and ends at Cranbrook. For live information of those who do not know Cranbrook, it may be said that here is located one of the best half mile tracks in the west. Beautifully situated, overlooking the city, with splendid
views of the surrounding mountains, prairie and forest, the race track is one of the beauty spots of Cranbrook. On the track there is ample stable accommodation, saddling paddock and large grand stand. The Cranbrook Park Limited, the owners of the track, are doing all in their power to make the race meeting successful and to see that everyone attending will have a really good time. Cranbrook and the university … Cranbrook is agitating for the University of British Columbia to be situated here. The “Old Man” has omitted one thing Cranbrook might confer upon all other towns (except Greenwood in future) in British Columbia, on the youthful mind bent to learning. It could surround with the atmosphere necessary to inspire a booster. The University lad, needs it to keep him optimistic and cheery and if “Old Man” Simpson’s hot air about Cranbrook couldn’t wake up any lad’s cerebellum, he would have no right to his roll of parchment. Moving pictures at new opera house … Last Monday the moving and illustrated song entertainment was inaugurated at the new opera house under the management of Mr. McHenry. The pictures shown were exceedingly good and well put on. F.W. Reeves’ rendering of the illustrated songs was much enjoyed by the audience, and Miss Clark presided at the piano with great efficiency. Three shows will be given each Monday Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings unless some outside attraction is billed for the house. A very good house greeted the first performance on Monday evening. It looks as if the new venture will be a success. The Rubber Dollar Store … C. M. VanWormer, Proprietor. Hanson Ave, Cranbrook. Horses, stoves, new and secondhand furniture, stoves, tinware, crockery, glassware, anything and everything from a white elephant to a white mouse. You’ll be surprised how far your dollar will stretch at our store. Come and gaze upon us and our stock. It will save you money and put a smile on your face. Good to live in Cranbrook … With all the reports of cold winter weather in the east it makes us feel good to be living in Cranbrook district, a veritable “land of a waiting springtime.” Leave town … Chief of Police Dow found two women from the red light district in one of the Chinese houses last night. They were given twenty-four hours to leave town. Reward … $400 reward is being offered

for the arrest of a woman named Louise Costa, by the Spokane police, who is wanted for theft. This woman is said to have lived in Cranbrook for some months a year or two ago. Herald’s tenth anniversary … On Thursday, the 19th of March, the Herald will celebrate its tenth birthday. On the 22nd of March, 1898, the first issue of the Herald was published and as this date marks the Natal day of Cranbrook also, the Herald will publish a souvenir edition on March 19th. This edition will be a veritable picture gallery of old time scenes in Cranbrook and the district and cuts of old timers and others. Pictures will appear in this issue that, in all probability, will never again be published. So this issue will be a link with the past, which every resident of the district will wish to keep. Only five hundred extra copies will be printed so it would be well for persons wishing extra copies to order the same as early as possible.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will have a difficult time being subtle, but this kind of reticent behavior might be appropriate at the moment. You could have an important conversation about a potential trip with a friend. Listen carefully to what he or she wants to share. Tonight: Let off some steam. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what you desire. Verbalizing what you want is far more important than you realize, especially as you are starting to deal with someone who tends to be less communicative. A comment could force you back to the drawing board. Tonight: Don’t swallow your anger! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take charge if you want to have a project come out exactly as you would like. Run with the ball, yet still listen to others’ suggestions. Rather than saying “no,” keep their ideas in mind. You never know when one might work. Tonight: Work off some extra energy.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance or to someone who seems to have a different view from you. A lack of energy will be a valid reason to hold off on making a decision. Be aware of the role that making a change has in energizing you. Tonight: A sudden burst of energy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Fortunately, you deal well with others; however, a spacey individual could stop you in your tracks. You might need to listen more closely to what this person is saying. Note what he or she doesn’t say, as that could have unusual significance. Tonight: Try something different. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others will seek you out, though you might not be up for a prolonged one-way conversation. You could try to add more fun to the exchanges. Ultimately, you will find that sharing your feelings is likely to add some fuel to your interactions. Tonight: Stay centered. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus will be on getting
Tundra
your work done. How you see a personal matter could change once you attempt to initiate a conversation. Clearly, the other party seems more vested in control than in expressing his or her feelings. Tonight: Back away from a volatile situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity and curiosity can be powerful tools when mixed together. Your ability to move past a situation and find a much better path is likely to emerge. Others often seek you out for advice; they want some of this magic! Tonight: Go to the gym first. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might have a difficult time feeling energized right now. Don’t push yourself so hard. You could hear some news that encourages a lively conversation. People could fly off the handle, but by then, you will be a big ball of energy. Tonight: Do what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be hard-pressed to understand where a friend is really coming from. Just when
you seem to be able to focus on the conversation, this person is likely to close down. Try not to let yourself be so irritated by this experience. Tonight: Work off steam. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) While others seem locked in conversation, you will want to take a closer look at your budget. Money could be a hot topic right now. You might want to reassess a personal situation, which is likely to involve extra funds. Tonight: Start pricing out your options. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will be able to read between the lines. Getting confirmation of what you see could be virtually impossible. A power play might affect a friendship. Be careful in handling this situation. Tonight: Do your best not to go overboard.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to “Bob” for 11 years. Once we had our son, “Jack,” everything changed. Bob found excuses not to be home, worked all kinds of overtime or had to “go somewhere.” I can count on one hand the times he did anything with Jack or was even home on a weekend during our son’s first five years. Jack is now 8 and has no real relationship with his father and no desire for one. When he was little and asked where Daddy was, I covered for Bob, but now that Jack is older, he knows what’s what. The kid is no dummy. Things continue to get worse. Bob accepts no responsibility for his son. He makes nearly twice my salary, but won’t give me a dime toward Jack’s clothes, shoes or school supplies, let alone birthday presents, although he wants his name on the gifts. He even tries to get out of paying for groceries and babysitters. Bob pays the mortgage and the taxes. Everything else is my responsibility. I carry Jack on my health insurance. I also don’t like to leave Jack alone with his father. If anything goes wrong, Bob blames Jack and ends up hollering at him for ridiculous things like forgetting to turn off a light or not wanting to go to the store with him, and then lays a guilt trip on the boy, saying, “Don’t you want to spend time with me?” I have tried talking to Bob about this. I tell him it is the parents’ responsibility to make time for their children, not the other way around. He refuses counseling, saying he doesn’t need anyone to tell him how to raise his kid. Jack already has anger issues and acts out. I am ready to give up on our marriage. Bob and I are more like roommates than spouses. I sometimes think Jack and I would be better off on our own. Any advice? -- Sinking Ship in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: Bob withholds funds for the support of his family and either neglects or yells at his son. These things can be interpreted as forms of abuse. Bob has no interest in counseling because he has no interest in being a better father. Sometimes leaving this type of situation is healthier than staying. Please get counseling for yourself and for Jack and decide your best course of action. Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Joe” for a year. We are both divorced parents. My children are in college, and Joe’s 17-year-old daughter lives with him. “Tawny” is a nice young lady, but she relies on us to provide her with a social life. Tawny attended one semester at a nearby community college. She was fired from her job and basically sits at home all day. She rarely does housework. I understand that she is bored and lonely and have suggested she do some volunteer work to get out and meet people. Joe is as frustrated as I am. He has spoken to Tawny about it, but nothing has changed. I don’t mind including her in our plans once in a while, but she expects to go everywhere with us and has attitude if she’s not invited. She even follows us from room to room. Joe has asked me to move in with him, but I don’t want to end up resenting Tawny and creating problems with our relationship. -Help Dear Help: Please do not move in with Joe. Instead, suggest that Tawny get counseling for what could be depression and to help her gain focus. That girl needs guidance, and Joe isn’t providing it. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Concerned Daughter,” whose recently divorced mother was suicidal and even held her brother’s gun to her head. Your advice was good, but you didn’t mention the most important thing: Lock up and hide the darn gun. -- Connecticut Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.
On the morning of Sunday, February 8, 2015 Roger Leslie Duns passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 66 years. He was born in Kamsack, Saskatchewan on May 8, 1948 to Jack and Mildred Duns, the youngest of five children. Roger attended Alva School for eight years. He was very proud to say he worked for Continental roofing business for 20 plus years. He retired in June of 2008 and moved to Kitchener, BC where he built a retirement home for himself and wife, Theresa. His hobbies were fishing, camping, quadding, sledding, bird watching, gardening and walking his dog. He truly loved using his hands to build his home. He enjoyed sitting on his deck with his friends and family enjoying a beer or two. His most favorite time of all was when his grandchildren came to visit. Roger leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife, Theresa; his children, Daylen (Christina), Allen (Jacqueline) and Crystal (Mike) as well as his beloved grandchildren; Kassie, Tyler, Fynnley, Sabrina, Tyrell, Ukiah, Seija, Jayden, Makayla, Brooklyn and Jaxson. Also left behind are his step daughter; Melisa (Nick) and their son Jackson and stepson Terry. Roger is survived by three of his siblings; Doug (Rose), Jean (Ken) and Mary (Arnold) as well as several nieces and nephews and his very loving in-laws. Roger was predeceased by his parents; Jack in 1996, Mildred in 1978 and his brother, Art in 1988. Cremation has taken place. A family service in honor of Roger will be held at a later date. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.
WALLACE, Kevin Wade 1968 - 2015 In the early evening hours of Saturday, February 14, 2015, Kevin Wade Wallace passed away peacefully at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the young age of 46 years. Kevin had bravely battled a non curative form of cancer for four and half months. Even through his pain he always had a beautiful smile for all who knew and loved him. He was born on October 23, 1968 in Calgary, Alberta to Ron and Sharon Wallace. Kevin was not only larger than life in his height and size, but also in his personality. He could be sweet, sarcastic, condescending and conscientious all at the same time. He was open and honest and you could always count on Kevin to tell you how he really felt. But, first and foremost he was a man with a great sense of humour. Kevin and his wife Audra came to Cranbrook from Calgary in 2007 jobless in a mini van with their kids, pets, and hopes and dreams. Out of necessity a niche was filled in 2008 when they opened the Red Neck CafĂŠ. Their regular customers and friends know how he loved to give people a hard time. Cranbrook definitely had found its own Soup Nazi (â&#x20AC;&#x153;No soup for you!â&#x20AC;?) in Kevin. It was impossible to fill his shoes once he was admitted to the hospital. Kevin had a very strong work ethic even though he suffered from a lot of pain over the years. He might have been limited in his activities, but he loved to swim, camp and golf. Being a true Calgarian, born and raised, he loved the Calgary Flames and the Stampeders; he was a life time fan, not a band wagon jumper. He had an on-going rivalry with some of the most loyal Canucks and B.C. Lions fans and he loved to talk sports. However, the most important things in his life were his children. He would have gladly laid down his life for them. Kevin will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege and honour of knowing him. Kevin leaves so many memories behind with his friends and family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Audra and his three children; Maddie, Ryley and Hayley. He also leaves behind his mother Sharon Wallace, his sister Dana and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Ron Wallace in January 2013 and his grandmother Astrid (Ozzie) Campbell in 2010. We would like to give a very special and loving thank you to Dr. Solkova and the wonderful nursing staff on the palliative care floor at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. You gave Kevin everything that he wanted and needed throughout his stay there. Kevin was blessed to have all of you. Thank you for making him as comfortable as possible; we are eternally grateful. A Celebration of Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at Mark Memorial Funeral Home, 2024 Industrial Road No. 2, Cranbrook, at 1:30 pm with a lunch to follow. Memorial donations may be made in Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the SPCA, 3339 Hwy 3/95, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America

Leslie Molnar: Cranbrook’s Woman of the Year C athryn Henley
Have you ever noticed the most successful and centered people are the ones with a broad range of interests and abilities? And, have you realized these same people are usually very actively involved in their community, mentors for others and the kind of people you not only want to be around, but also to emulate? These are the similar traits of the women that have been nominated and selected as CFUW Cranbrook Club Woman of the Year since 1982. It is also very descriptive of Leslie Molnar, Woman
of the Year 2015! Leslie was nominated by her peers with eight well written letters of support which demonstrated how Leslie is known for and dedicated to: education, the advancement of women, inspiring and enriching the lives of those around her, advocating for opportunities for better work choices, creating a respectful and pleasant workplace, balancing her work as a math instructor at the College of the Rockies, her volunteer endeavours and her family with grace. When Leslie discov-
ered she was Woman of the Year 2015, she was in Vancouver at one of her many meetings as President of the College of the Rockies Faculty Association (CORFA). CORFA is one of the 19 locals of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE), and Leslie sits as a Member at Large on its Executive. A member of the nominating committee had called the President of FPSE, Cindy Oliver, was chairing same meeting and she made an announcement at the meeting. “I was so surprised!” stated Leslie. “Honoured, astounded

The journey has begun but is far from over.
and grateful all at once”, she added. What Leslie did not know until this week, is Cindy was one of her 8 nominators for this prestigious award. Leslie was born in Cranbrook and the youngest daughter of Harry and Evelyn Mathias. Her dad was a teacher in Cranbrook for over 30 years and retired in 1988. Since age seven, Leslie was well known in Cranbrook as a youngster for her musical talent both on the piano and voice. She went to UBC to study music where she worked extremely hard, but despite her struggles, realized although she was a big fish in the pond here, she was a mere minnow in the large pond of talent in the big city. She then switched from music to majoring in Mathematics and chose to finish her degree at the University of Victoria, where there was far less of the “old boy’s club” atmosphere in math. “My studies in music led me to understand what it is like to work hard but still struggle. That taught me how to give more empathy for my students”, said Leslie. One of her former students, Michael Savarie, said, “Leslie was able to reconnect me with my passion for math and push me to do the very best I could. He went onto say, “Leslie is the style of teacher that goes above and beyond for every student and is willing to put in her free time if the student is also willing. “ Michael said he was able to excel in her classes through her love of teaching. COTR instructor, Sandi Lavery, wrote in her letter of support in the nomination of Leslie Molnar that many students entering her University of Victoria program stated “they would not have been accepted into the program had it not been for Leslie’s teaching. Her patience, perseverance, knowledge of math and her never ending office hours were extremely valued by her past students, who are now teachers themselves.” Leslie is more than just a teacher. She also works closely with the Student’s Association to make COTR a positive

Linda Olm goes on to say, “Leslie has served in a number of capacities in the College Faculty Association as President. She endeavours to make COTR a fair, healthy and happy place to work. Her involvement with the college’s many committees is proof positive that she has the needs of this learning community in her heart.” Leslie admits to being a techno geek. She has a website for each of her courses and puts videos of all her classes online so her students can review over and over again what she has taught until they “get” it. She has facilitated a couple of workshops for interested faculty on the way she uses the technology, and loves to get and try new education technology ideas to her co-workers and professional contacts. Joan Kaun, a long time co-worker and friend for over 20 years wrote, “In addition to Leslie’s dedication to the College of the Rockies, she and her high school sweetheart husband, Mark, have raised three successful and positive children Kaun goes on to say, “The importance of family has been instilled in each of them throughout their upbringing. Their extended family gathers weekly for Sunday family dinner, a tradition that has been ongoing for many years.” Leslie is very close to her entire family and sadly lost her dad in 2014 and
her father-in-law in 2013. Gretchen Whetham, who has known Leslie since 1983 when they both worked together at the Cranbrook Energy House on 14th Avenue, wrote “Leslie has a love of music and family, and her influence in the community has developed from them both. “Reliable” is one of the many qualities that were repeated by the authors of letters of support for Leslie as CFUW Cranbrook Club Woman of the Year. Leslie was a longtime member of the Bisset Singers and joined the Symphony Chorus in 2013. Not only did this require earning lyrics in seven languages, but she also agreed to join the tenor section. She has since become a member of the Sun Valley Song and plans to continue that choir. Finding time for herself is often a challenge, but Leslie makes the time keeping true to her belief that family is first. With the children off to university, she took up motorcycling and snowmobiling in 2012. She owns her own Honda Shadow 1100 and an Arctic Cat snow mobile. This allows her to have fun adventures with her husband year round. Her sunny living room is filled with collages of family pictures and gatherings. When asked if she would continue with her role as President of COTR local, she said yes. She enjoys being an advocate to anyone about anything she
knows well. However, she is happy in this community and has absolutely no aspirations to get into any form of politics outside of her role as President of the Faculty Association at this College. All the letters of support stated how deeply they “admire Leslie for many qualities and action, but specifically her strength, leadership and courage to challenge people to have difficult conversations that are important to create a safe and inclusive workplace and to overcome adversary and obstacles. When Leslie encounters bumps in the road, she does not back down or become discouraged. Rather, she perseveres and seeks out creative alternative approaches to meet the objectives. Her ability to communicate effectively, respectively and confidently while seeming to never offend or harm someone is admirable.” This “parent first, then wife and teacher” is exactly what Leslie is and far more. CFUW Cranbrook Club is very pleased to present Leslie Molnar as Woman of the Year 2015 on Thursday, March 5th 4pm sharp at the Manual Training School attached to the Cranbrook library. Family, friends, students, co-workers and all former CFUW Cranbrook Club Woman of the Year recipients are cordially invited to join us. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony.
