Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction unit seize marijuana, morphine, weapons BULLE TIN STAFF
On Friday, February 27th, 2015, investigators from the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit along with officers from the Cranbrook Detachment and the Police Dog Service executed a search warrant at a Cranbrook residence. As a result of the search, marijuana and morphine, as well as paraphernalia associated to drug trafficking, were located and seized. In addition to the drugs, police located and seized several weapons from the residence. Three people were located at the residence when police arrived to execute the search warrant, reports Sgt. Dave Dubnyk of the Cranbrook RCMP. “All three were arrested and lodged in Cranbrook RCMP cells. All three suspects are facing charges in relation to drug trafficking and one of the subjects is also facing breach of probation charges for being in possession of a weapon when prohibited.” Two of the subjects were released on a promise to appear for a future court date with the third subject being
held to appear before a Judicial Justice of the Peace. On Saturday, February 28th, 2015, as a result of information received, investigators from the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit along assistance from Cranbrook Detachment initiated an investigation into certain persons believed to be involved in drug trafficking. As a result, three individuals were arrested and a vehicle seized. During the subsequent search of those arrested and their vehicle police located and seized heroin, cocaine and what is believed to be methamphetamines. Police also seized were baggies used for trafficking of drugs as well as a quantity of counterfeit American money. Two of the three individuals were released on a promise to appear for a future court date with the third subject being held in custody to attend court in Cranbrook on Monday morning. Police have retained the vehicle as offence related property and are considering an application to have the vehicle forfeited through provisions of the British Columbia Civil Forfeiture Act.

Coroners Service identifies back country skier Robert Bradley Fuller of Kimberley fell while skiing in Meachan Creek area C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The BC Coroners Service has released the name of the man who died in a back coun-
try ski accident near Meachan Creek on Saturday, February 28. He was Robert Bradley Fuller, aged 50, from Kimberley. Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP reported yesterday that the victim was with two other skiers, all experienced in the back country, when the incident occurred. The group had skied up Snow Crest Mountain and were traversing a cornice when a
weak spot gave way and Fuller fell down the mountainside. “Mr. Fuller was located by members of his party but had succumbed to injuries sustained during his fall. Search and rescue teams attended and were able to recover Mr. Fuller by helicopter,” said Larry Marzinzik, Regional Coroner, Interior Region. Meachan Creek is accessed via St. Mary Lake Road and then up a forest service road.

Students from Lindsay Park Elementary walk into the winter wonder of the Lois Creek trails
Kimberley kids experience the wonders of winter FOR THE BULLETIN
This winter, almost 4,000 Kindergarten to Grade 3 students throughout the Columbia Basin went into their wild schoolyards to experience the magic of winter ecology. Now in its eighth year, Wildsight’s Winter Wonder program connects students with the joys, secrets and marvels of our Kootenay winters. During a half-day field trip, they explore winter wildlife, snow science and weather—all concepts contained in the BC education curriculum. Monica Nissen, Wildsight’s
Education in the Wild Program Manager says, “Across Canada, kids are spending less and less time outside, creating what some refer to as a ‘nature deficit.’ Winter Wonder gets them out there, connecting them with the winter ecology in their own backyards.” “Our team of professional outdoor educators really bring the curriculum to life for students,” she adds. Winter Wonder educators come dressed up as imaginative characters like Frosty Flake or Captain Powder and lead the class through a range of hands-on activities, both inside
and outside the classroom.” “It is highly beneficial for another educator to come in and show us things we may not have seen around our area. Field trips and hands on learning are some of the most remembered events at school,” says Allison Kostiuk, a teacher at Lindsay Park Elementary. Wildsight gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Columbia Basin Trust, Fortis BC, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, the North Face Explore Fund and the BC Gaming Commission.
Stetski to run for NDP in federal election From Page 1 “Stephen Harper has inflicted serious damage on our country, making it more and more difficult to even recognize the Canada we know and love,” said Stetski. “Whether it is our reputation on the international stage or our record on protecting the lakes and rivers we love, Stephen Harper’s record is embarrassing for Canadians.” Members of the Kootenay Columbia NDP Riding Association will affirm Wayne Stetski as
their candidate to run against the current Conservative MP, David Wilks at their nominating convention on Sunday, March 15, 2015 in Cranbrook. “I’m not just running against Stephen Harper’s record,” continued Stetski. “I’m running because I believe that the people of this area deserve to be represented by someone who is willing to stand up and fight for their interests. “Since his election in 2011, David Wilks has been heard saying he is not allowed to vote the
way his constituents want him to in parliament. He can only vote the way Stephen Harper tells him to, even when his constituents tell him that they strongly disagree. “Democracy is poorly served by silencing a whole region in this way. The people of Kootenay Columbia deserve better. “There is only one person in parliament whose job it is to represent the people of Kootenay Columbia. I’m going to be that strong voice in Ottawa,” con-
tinued Stetski. Members of the public are welcome to join Stetski and the rest of the Kootenay Columbia membership at the Manual Training Centre in Cranbrook at 1 PM on Sunday, March 15th as he officially kicks off his campaign to bring real representation to this area. “I’m looking forward to a great campaign. It is clear that if we want to defeat the Conservatives in this area we will all need to work together to elect an NDP MP.” Stetski is well ac-

quainted with this riding that covers similar ground to his area of responsibility when he held the position of Kootenay Regional Manager for the British Columbia Ministry of Environment. “I’ll be travelling throughout this area meeting with people across the riding right through until Election Day. I’m looking forward to getting reacquainted with old friends and making a whole bunch of new ones. We’ll see you all on the campaign trail!”

Idlewild Lake: Past, present, future “Idlewild Lake Level Being Lowered Due To Dam Structural Failure Concerns.” Idlewild dam, built in the 1930s, is an earth-fill dam with a concrete core that created a pleasant little lake that I, as well and scores of local people, have enjoyed for years. Like the geese, the ducks, the water rats, the beavers, we are denizens. I, personally, have been revelling in it since 1957, and hope to keep visiting it for a few more years. Apparently, the earthfilled with a concrete core dam that created the reservoir is classified as a very high consequence dam as categorized by the MFLNRO and confirmed by the Dam Breach Inundation Study, completed by Urban Systems in 2014, whatever that means. It’s not that Cranbrook residents should start out building arks or inflating their dinghies. It’s merely that, should the dam collapse, some folk downstream are liable to get damp basements. Now, I am in no position to argue the case with Mayor Lee Pratt, but, like others, I am going to miss that lake, even if only temporarily. I was there again yesterday and noticed that, although it proclaimed that the park is a city facility but there is no indication of the folk and clubs that have volunteered
time, labour and money to keep the place pristine. Even I have picked up sundry bottles and, once, a shattered ‘boom box’. There’s an ‘Adventure fitness circuit with trails padded with wood chips’ in the park and I can well remember my lovely wife coming home after a rainy days proclaiming that she’d been running on ‘sloshed chips’, but I usually walk in a refined manner, not aerobically but enjoying Peter the ambiance aestheticalWarland ly. Way back, when the lake was the actual drinking water supply for the city, I was taking a stroll and spotted several cows standing knee-deep in the pristine waters. What concerned me was the fact that they were urinating and defecating in water that was soon to be in my tea-pot. I took several photographs and sent them to the Daily Townsman. The mayor at that time was somewhat incensed. It was probably round this time that the reservoir was moved upstream to its present position and the old lake made into the centre of Idlewild Park. Of course, not all of my visits have been so thought provoking. I’ve slid down those toboggan slopes on my face with a grandchild riding my back far too often, I’ve tried out snowboards and had nearly fatal accidents and, one night after a bit of ‘a do’ with fellow high school teachers, I’ve skin-

ny-dipped in the lake. Not a pretty sight. That event, of course, had nothing to do with “Radish” Radage’s reported sighting of the lake’s monster. That sighting may actually have been the apparition that was I attempting, late at night, to launch the hull of my experimental home-made sail-boat. I’d run into all sorts of difficulties in deciding where exactly I should put the foot of the mast and needed a body of water, larger than my bath-tub, in which to do some tests. I tried late at night and almost lost the craft like some latter-day Lusitania. But, when the lake is drained or, at least, the water level lowered, Bradley’s nuclear submarine might be found. Bradley Dunn, whose is usually called Badly for obvious reasons, launched his vessel in the summer of 1966 and, as he watched proudly, the submarine submerged but didn’t actually surface again. At this moment, that submarine holds the world’s record for staying under water and not being spotted by foreign spies. Badly would like to retrieve that submarine because he has plans to use the nuclear reactor in his space-ship. I really do hope that Mayor Pratt and his successors make sure that we residents and our neighbours, especially Badly Dunn, are kept up to date on what is happening, because we look forward to being consulted on the future of Idlewild Lake and the park.

Opinion/Events It happened this week in Cranbrook Week March 1 - 7
Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1903 The Mackenzies ... The programme for next Monday’s entertainment in Wentworth Hall is of a more than ordinary character. In addition to the usual first class selection of songs, duets and recitals provided by these popular artists an exquisite domestic drama, ‘The Open Gate,” will be staged in a thoroughly complete manner. New scenery has been specially painted for this piece. The laughter provoking comedy “The Pair of Lunatics,” will afford plenty of fun without vulgarity. Altogether one could not imagine a more diversified and yet refined entertainment, Mr. W. T. Reid has kindly consented to act as accompanist. The plan of seats is at Beattie’s drug store. As a bumper house is assured early application is necessary to avoid disappointment. Some find … Harry Fairfield has quite a curiosity in the shape of an old eight cornered gold dollar that was minted in California in 1860 and was lost in a garden patch on the Wild Horse in 1864, during the gold excitement there. Last season this same piece of ground was being dug up and the little gold piece was found and finally fell into Mr. Fairfield’s hands who will keep it as a souvenir of the famous diggings. Drive on the left … “There is going to be a big smashup some of these days,” said G. H Miner, if people do not observe the rules of this province in passing each other while driving. The law provides that one should turn to the left, while many people turn to the right. When two people driving rapidly attempt to turn the same way, trouble is bound to follow, and the driver who relates the law will be responsible for the damages.” Don’t count your chickens …Two years ago we bought seven blooded chickens at a fancy price, and spent about $25 for hen house etc. Last week we made a calculation on receipts and expenses and found that our fresh eggs have cost about $2.75 a dozen. This chicken industry is a great thing for those who can afford it, but after
this summer we propose to switch the cut. 1904 Boxing contest ... The boxing contest that took place Tuesday night at the Wentworth hall drew a fair sized crowd, and proved a very interesting exhibition. Jack Curley agreed to stop Billy Burrows in ten 2 minute rounds. The first five rounds Curley seemed to be the superior, but towards the last Burrows took the aggressive, and did some fine work. Curley put Burrows on the floor twice, but he recovered his feet each time before the count had progressed far. Those in attendance say it was a very pretty exhibition of the scientific points in the manly art. A model store … People buying groceries feel much better if they know that what they buy is of first-class quality, and they enjoy patronizing a store where their purchases are assured along this line. That is why G. T. Rogers’ store is popular in Cranbrook. That is why his delivery wagon is so heavily loaded each day. When one enters his store there is a feeling of satisfaction and confidence. A look over the goods sold convinces all. Mr. Rogers has built up a fine business in Cranbrook and it is due to the character of his goods and his businesslike methods. Road to the Flathead … The government is prepared to build a road in the Flathead country as soon as the necessity for the road arises. There is a grant of $45,000 for contingencies for public works and buildings, roads, streets, bridges, wharves, and surveys, and the cost of the road to the Flathead will be taken out of this grant. 1905 Latest weather … Of course we have no desire to play back at the people who have been slandering the banana belt, but we cannot retrain from calling attention to June weather in February and March. Not in California, nor in Colorado, or even in Florida, can the weather that we have had here in Cranbrook the past week be surpassed? The snow has gone, the grass is beginning to break through the ground, the birds are singing, men are possessed of that energy that the first break of spring gives, and the women are caroling sweet songs of a light heart and blithesome nature. Spring is great, and when we get it in
February, it is simply magnificent. New roadway … It looks more like the Corbin road every day. The surveyors are in the field and when construction actually starts on that connection between Cranbrook and Spokane, the growth of Cranbrook will make more noise than the Herald’s old gasoline engine. Protection for Baker Hill … The dance given a short time ago by the fire brigade for the purpose of raising funds for the Baker Hill fire station resulted in a net gain of $98.00. This is a little but it is a long ways from what is needed to build a shed and place therein a reel, hose, nozzles, etc. In fact it will take about $450 for this purpose and this provision should be made for the protection of homes on the hill within the range of water service. It might be a good idea for the property owners in that part of the town to form an organization of their own and in this way assist the fire boys in financing the proposition. To take the hose wagon from the down town station to any point on the hill is such a task that it would be an easy matter for a fire in any of the homes to get beyond control before the brigade could possibly get to the place. The men with homes in that part of the town are the ones who should be interested in this matter, and it is really up to them. A bold burglary … Last Tuesday morning one of the sample rooms of the Cosmopolitan Hotel was broken open and about $500 or $600 worth of ladies’ gowns and hair goods taken. Constable Morris was notified, and with the help of H. Small, of the Cosmopolitan, Hoggarth, of the Cranbrook, and several other men who happened to be around, a young man, George McKenzie, son of the gentleman who had the shooting gallery, and Charles Ward, a painter, were arrested. Quite a lot of the goods were found, in a house of prostitution kept by a colored girl named Dolly Cole. The next, day the accused were arraigned before Magistrate Armstrong and young McKenzie pleaded guilty and was released under suspended sentence, as his youth and other conditions indicated that he had been made a tool of by other parties. Ward was committed for trial and will be taken to Nelson. The colored woman was incarcerated and action may be taken against her. Mrs. Powers, the lady who owned the goods, is losee several hundred dollars by the outrage.
Healthy Eats on the Go Kristi Estergaard
March is Nutrition Month and our focus this year is on finding ways to eat well all day long, whether at work, school or during family outings. Eating away from home has become the norm for busy families, whether it’s a quick snack at the mall or a make-shift meal between activities. This year’s theme “Make it and Take it!” is all about healthy eating on the go. I know first-hand how not having the right food handy at the right time can cause a young child to have a meltdown. Bringing food from home will not only prevent meltdowns, but will also help avoid last minute stops at snack shops or the fast food drive through. Once you’re organized it is easy to do. First, having the right gear is essential. Watch for sales. Must-have items include insulated lunch bags/packs, a variety of small containers with lids, and a reusable ice pack. Reusable cutlery and reusable drink containers are also helpful to have.
The right gear makes it easier to pack healthy and safe food for you and your family. Second, have easy to grab pack-andgo items ready in your fridge, freezer and pantry. Here are some of my favourites: • Gourmet home-made lunchables: Sliced chicken breast, cheese cut into triangles, whole grain crackers, red pepper strips and apple slices. Yum! Use leftover chicken, turkey or roast beef instead of deli meats to save money, and cut the amount of salt by more than half. • Rainbow veggies and dip: Wash and cut a variety of colourful veggies and store them in sealed containers in the fridge. Pack into baggies or containers as needed with pre-portioned dip. Plain Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of salad dressing makes an easy, protein and calcium loaded dip. Bean dips are also terrific and provide long lasting energy. • Muffin tin creations: Muffin tins are perfect for making little meat loaves and crustless quiche – regular or mini size.
Use your favourite recipes and simply portion into the tins (note they will cook fast). Meat muffins freeze well. Mini quiches store well in the fridge for a few days. Great for lunches or those makeshift dinners away from home. • Homemade nut/seed/cereal mixes: For a nut free combo try sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, chopped dried apricots, dried unsweetened cereal, shredded coconut and/or a few mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Lastly, involve your kids in making home-packed meals and snacks early on. This way they will grow up experiencing food brought from home as the normal and best way to eat. Plus when kids help pack their own lunches and snacks they tend to enjoy their food more and waste less. Win-win for everyone!

Let’s do it again
Ghostriders-Dynamiters series shifts to Kimberley for Game 3 Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The names and faces remain the same, but only the location will change as the Kimberley Dynamiters play host to the Fernie Ghostriders Wednesday night for the first time in their best-ofseven Eddie Mountain Division final. The two teams battled to a 1-1 split after two games at the Fernie Memorial Arena Sunday and Monday. “We just have to get the pucks in deep, play our systems, stay disciplined -- we have to stay out of the penalty box,” said Dynamiters defenceman Jordan Busch Monday night. “We have to make sure we execute on our chances. “It’s a long series, a long process. We’re just happy to get the split [in
Fernie] and we’re going home with home-ice advantage. It’s a positive note for us.” The Dynamiters stole home-ice from the Ghostriders with a 5-2 victory in Game 1 Sunday night. Not to be fully trumped on home ice, the Ghostriders stormed to a 5-2 win in Game 2 Monday. With two games down, five games remain. “We’ve got to be bangers, we’ve got to finish our checks on this team,” Ghostriders head coach and general manager Craig Mohr told Sara Moulton of the Fernie Free Press. “If we allow them to just free wheel -- they’re good. They’re dangerous. They’re good on the rush.” The Ghostriders
claimed a 4-3-1 mark in the eight-game regular season series, so its surprise to no one this series has already been as close as it has. While offense came at a premium in the Dynamiters first-round series against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, both the Ghostriders and Nitros are averaging 3.5 goals per game to this point in the Eddie Mountain Division final. “Fernie chases a bit more [than Creston],” said Nitros forward Braden Saretsky. “It leaves guys open, which gives time and space. We’ve beene executing on them.” A big question mark remains in the status of Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer. The Kimberley puckstopper was knocked out
of action in Game 1 Sunday night after suffering a lower-body injury. He is listed as day-to-day. With Brody Nelson taking over between the pipes, the Nitros had AP Callum Macleod of Cranbrook on the bench to back up the Invermere native. The Dynamiters were also without forward Sawyer Hunt Monday as he is listed dayto-day with a lower-body injury. The Ghostriders lost defenceman Matt Pronchuk after Game 1, but his spot was filled by defenceman Travis Thomsen, who returned from injury in Game 2. “You’ve just got to focus on the game coming up,” said Dynamiters captain Jason Richter. “We try not to worry about the game we just played or even the first

Going into the next game -that’s our only focus. “You try to put the past in the past and focus on the next one
coming up. “We’ve got to be physical, we’ve got to take the puck deep and take the body. We got away from that [Monday].”
Puck drop for Game 3 at the Kimberley Civic Centre is slated for 7 p.m. Game 4 goes Friday night back in Kimberley.
Pan Am Games medals incorporate Braille for first time Lo ri E win g Canadian Press
TORONTO - They’re crafted from metal mined in three different countries across the Americas, and embossed with Braille. The gold, silver and bronze medals for this summer’s Pan American Games, unveiled at a ceremony Tuesday at the Royal Ontario Museum, represent unity and diversity, organizers say. They’re the diameter of a softball and as heavy as a can of soup, and the back of the medals reads “Toronto 2015” in English, French, Spanish and Braille -marking the first time the tactile writing system used by the blind has been incorporated in medals for both abled-bodied and Paralympic athletes at a major Games. “It says something about what we think of people with disabilities in Canada,” said Elisabeth Walker-Young, a four-time Paralympian and Canada’s chef de mission for the Parapan Am Games. “And all through sport. . .who knew right? That we could do something so almost political. . . “It’s really going to
set a precedent I think for anybody who’s looking to host again, whether it’s an Olympic Games or a Commonwealth Games, or another Pan Am Games.” The medals were designed in collaboration with Metis artist Christi Belcourt, produced by
the Royal Canadian Mint and the metal supplied by Toronto-based Barrick Gold Corporation from three of its operations across the Americas - the gold from its Hemlo mine in Ontario, the silver from its Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic
and the copper from the Zalvidar mine in Chile. “Beautiful, truly beautiful,” said Mark Tewksbury, an Olympic gold medallist in swimming. “And very sym-
bolic — The inclusion of Braille is hugely significant. It speaks to that real inclusion, ‘united we play,’ that whole idea behind Toronto 2015.” The Mint used an
ancient technique called ‘mokume gane’ which fuses different alloys making each of the some-4,200 medals unique. The medals have three layered ovals
to represent the three Pan American regions. The Pan Am Games run in southern Ontario from July 10 to 26 while the Parapan Ams are Aug. 7-15.

Success brewing
Buchy rink off to 2015 Tim Horton’s B.C. Juvenile Curling Championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Kimberley’s Buchy juvenile girls curling rink is off to the 2015 Tim Horton’s B.C. Juvenile Curling Championship March 5 to 8 in Cowichan, B.C. and with recent success at the 2015 B.C. Girls High School Provincial championship, they have their hopes set high. “We’re pretty excited as a team and I’m pretty stoked,” said 16-year-old skip Alysha Buchy. “I’m excited to see the potential in our girls. “We had one off game [at high school provincials] and it showed. I really think we just need to keep it together, play our best and see how it goes.” In addition to Alysha, the Kimberley rink is comprised of third Haylie Farquhar, second Kaila Buchy and lead Arissa Toffolo. Representing Selkirk Secondary School, the girls finished second with a record of 6-2 at the 2015 B.C. Girls High School Provincial championship, which was hosted in Creston Feb. 19 to 21. “Coming off highschool provincials
where we got second place -- we were the only team to beat the first-place team -- pretty excited and feeling pretty good heading into this upcoming week,” said the 15-year-old Farquhar. “We definitely learned a lot about watching, not only our rocks, but how the other team’s rocks are thrown.” The girls opened the high-school play downs with an eight-end victory over the eventual champion -- Mount Elizabeth Secondary School from Kitimat. The Buchy rink then went on to defeat Ballenas Secondary School (Parksville), College Heights Secondary School (Prince George), St. Thomas More Secondary School (Burnaby), Elgin Park Secondary School (Surrey) and Centennial Secondary School (Coquitlam). “It gives us more experience with competitive teams,” Toffolo said. The 13-year-old lead said she has been working on the weight, line and rotation of her throws in preparation for the upcoming provincials. The only losses for the Selkirk Secondary
girls came against Salmon Arm Secondary School and Centennial Secondary School. “The girls played extremely well,” said coach Tom Buchy. “I’m hoping they can carry through some confidence that they gained and experience from playing in the high schools.” Buchy is joined by Grant Farquhar and Dave Toffolo in coaching the girls squad. “[We’ve] been working hard on takeouts, hitting the broom and just throwing the right weight,” Tom said. “They’ve been working really hard all year. It showed in high schools they can make a lot of shots when they put their mind to it.” While putting in hours at the Kimberley Curling Club with the instruction of their coaches is a big part of preparation, throwing stones isn’t all there is to it. For the girls, it’s a labour of love that stretches across all areas of life. “Heading into high schools, we we would go every Wednesday to Tanglefoot [Training Centre in Kimberley] or to a gym and workout a little bit,” Farquhar said.
“When the Scotties [Tournament of Hearts] is on, it’s important to watch…You can watch line, how they communicate, when they’re sweeping and when they’re calling line or looking for plan ‘B’ when something goes a little bit wrong or a little bit too right.” The Buchy rink opens the 2015 Tim Horton’s B.C. Juvenile Curling Championship Friday, March 6 with an early draw against the Huitema rink followed by an afternoon match-up against the Drexel rink. “A lot of the teams from high schools are playing in juveniles,” said 12-year-old Kaila Buchy. “I think the experience playing them will really help us. “We’ve just got to give it our all, bring it every game and play as well as we can.” The girls round out division play with a Saturday tilt against the Withey rink. “The one thing we have to do is make sure we keep our weight up, on line with the broom and stay positive,” Farquhar said. “It’s really important for a team to stay positive…It’s really

The Buchy juvenile girls rink based out of the Kimberley Curling Club is headed for the 2015 Tim Horton’s B.C. Juvenile Curling Championship March 5 to 8 in Cowichan, B.C. important to give your sweepers the encouragement and the praise for when they do something good. It’s always important to have a good head, talk and en-
courage someone when they’re on the ice.” With a second-place finish at high school provincials in the books, the hope is to take the next step this week.
“We definitely need to stay focused and bring our best game and see what happens -hope for the best,” Alysha said.
Northern Ontario out front at Brier, Team Canada switches skips Donna Spencer Canadian Press
CALGARY - John Morris shook up his team midway through the Canadian men’s curling championship by demoting himself to third and handing the house to Pat Simmons to skip. The first Team Canada to play in a Tim Hortons Brier doubled Jamie Koe of Northwest Territories 6-3 with the altered lineup Tuesday afternoon. They were 3-3 heading into the Brier’s Battle of Alberta at night against the host province skipped by Kevin Koe. After giving up four points in steals in a loss to Saskatchewan the previous evening, Morris suggested the switch. “We just needed a spark. Something wasn’t clicking,” he said. “I think our best chance to win this is making that
move. “I thought our options were, keeping doing what we’re doing and go .500 at the Brier and sort of fade away into the sunset or make a change and still try to win this thing.” Simmons has previous experience skipping teams at Briers, but he says the last time he called the shots was in 2010. “It wasn’t in the master plan that’s for sure,” Simmons said. “It’s not everyone’s wish to get halfway into the Brier (and change) when you haven’t skipped in five years. “The good news is I’ve skipped at this level before. It’s just a matter of finding those skip legs and making a few draws under pressure.” When asked if the switch would remain in place for the duration of the Brier, Simmons re-
plied: “As far as I know, until I hear otherwise.” Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs stayed undefeated and out in front at 6-0. The reigning Olympic champions flattened Adam Casey’s young team from Prince Edward Island 11-1. Jacobs, third Ryan Fry and the front end of E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden have a reputation for first-pumping and broom-shaking after executing big shots. But the foursome has been quietly and ruthlessly efficient so far this tournament. “That’s a testament to how well the guys are playing in front of me,” Jacobs said. “I don’t want to have to make a big shot like th≠≠at if we don’t have to. The wideopen shots, the wideopen draws for two, I’m getting a lot of simple shots at my position, which I should make
and the guys are playing really well. “We’ve been really intense and really into all the games. We haven’t had a big burst of emotion or energy, but we’ve got lots of games left. I’m sure it will happen.” S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Steve Laycock was 4-1 with a game remaining at night. Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador recovered from a pair of losses to join Laycock at four wins. Newfoundland downed New Brunswick’s Jeremy Mallais 10-2 to get to 4-2. Alberta and Manito-
ba’s Reid Carruthers were both 3-2 with games to play at night. Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard defeated B.C.’s Jim Cotter 8-6 to put both teams at 3-3 alongside Team Canada. Ontario’s Mark Kean was 2-3, while P.E.I. dropped to 2-4. New Brunswick fell to 1-5 and the Northwest Territories was winless after six games. The top four teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday qualify for the Page playoffs. Morris felt if his team had any chance of finishing top four, a change was necessary now.
“We’re too competitive to not make playoffs,” he said. “We really believe we can win this thing and if that means having to re-shuffle a little bit here and there and adapt to the situation, so be it. Morris played third for Kevin Martin from 2006 to 2013. They won Olympic gold in 2010 as well as a pair of Canadian championships and a world title. Simmons, 40, skipped Saskatchewan in four Briers from 2005 to 2008. Simmons and the front end of Carter Rycroft and Nolan Thiessen won last year’s Brier
with Koe at skip. Koe left to form a new team. His former teammates recruited Morris, who intended to take this season off from curling but agreed to join them in wearing the Maple Leaf in Calgary. They didn’t play a heavy schedule this winter because of family and job commitments. They instead got together for training camps at the Glencoe Club in Calgary. “This is something we might have learned earlier in the year,” Morris said. “We just didn’t play enough to know.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid a controlling person at all costs -- you will be a lot happier if you do. Trust your inner voice. You might surprise some of your friends with a sudden change. Try to see past the obvious, and allow your innate creativity to emerge. Tonight: Celebrate the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Set aside some personal time for yourself by signing up for a yoga class or participating in a different type of relaxing activity. You are only human, and you need downtime. Someone seems to tighten the valve where you might expect money to flow. Tonight: Be a little naughty. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the morning for any heartfelt matters. The rest of the day, you might want to do some thinking about a situation that is not always comfortable. A friend could surprise you with an unexpected revelation. Check out an offer, but be realistic. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not be sure about an associate or loved one who seems to demand total control. You know that cannot happen. Your imagination will carry you past a problem to the right solution. Avoid power plays involving money. Tonight: Follow the music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might need to be more observant of a situation that you view as being changeable. Perhaps one of the reasons you are drawn to this matter is that you like the constant chaos -- it keeps your life exciting. Learn to let go of your need for control. Tonight: Make it your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might notice a change in your self-confidence. You seem to have difficulty letting someone else assume that he or she is right. You will defy this person and perhaps create a difficult situation for others, unintentionally. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to step back

and observe others’ behavior. Express your caring in a way that someone else can receive before you make your exit. Try not to get involved in a conflict. You could feel as if someone is pushing you. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to a friend, especially if you see a difficult situation emerging. Whether you completely agree with this person is not important right now; you will be able to discuss your feelings at a later point. Be careful with your funds. Tonight: Where people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be questioning which way to go with a difficult but necessary person in your life. You might be able to come up with a better solution than this person, but don’t count on him or her agreeing with you. Tonight: Do not try to control another person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your creativity, and walk away from a need to control situations. You will be hap-
pier if others agree on a solution because they want to and not because they felt coerced by you. Know that this could result in some insecurity. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might decide that it is a good idea to pursue a different course from the one you currently are on. Use your diplomacy skills to let someone know where an idea could use some tightening. Tonight: Vanish to a favorite spot with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others will be determined to take the lead. Let them, and you will be able to go off and indulge in some fun activities with a friend. Remember that you don’t always need to be at the center of everything that occurs. Tonight: Let others make the first move.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are recently retired teachers who have been able to travel extensively because we budgeted well. I have motion sickness and other health issues that make traveling unpleasant. I want to do less of it, but my husband wants to do more. My passion for retirement was always to volunteer. Several retired teachers set up a store filled with donations where our students can shop for free. I help out three afternoons a week. Many of the retired teachers have mobility issues and rely on me to carry donated items. When I travel, the others take turns doing the heavy work, but I know it is a struggle for them. My husband’s idea of retirement is to spend at least three months as “snowbirds” in Florida. This doesn’t appeal to me at all, but as a compromise, I reluctantly agreed to spend one month each year in Florida. The first year was tolerable, but after a week, I was bored and missed my volunteer work. I told my husband he was free to stay, but I would return when my month was up. I’ve looked into volunteer opportunities in Florida, but everything is at least 30 minutes away, and we only have one car, which my husband uses to go golfing. I have kept my part of the agreement and am getting annoyed at the pressure from my husband to spend more time in Florida. He knows he can invite other relatives or friends to join him. I realize these are “high-class worries,” but do you have any suggestions for resolving this before we start up again next year? -- M.W. Dear M.W.: Your husband wants you with him, which is why he keeps pressuring you. Would you consider going for a month in the middle of those months so your husband would feel less alone? How about investing in a second car so you can do volunteer work in Florida, or perhaps finding a place to play golf that is within walking distance? There are ways to compromise a bit more if you truly wish to make the effort, but meanwhile, tell your husband we said to knock off the full-court press. Dear Annie: Please allow me to use your column to say thank you to someone. I was in a restaurant in The Villages in Florida waiting for my check when the manager came over and said my dinner was already taken care of. Apparently, a woman paid my bill, saying she was paying forward a kindness that someone else had once done for her. I would like to thank her publicly and assure her that I will be paying it forward as she did for me. -- B. Dear B.: We are always happy to hear of such kindnesses. We have many fans in The Villages, and we hope whoever bought your dinner will see this and know that it was appreciated, and that you will be doing the same for someone else. Thanks for letting us know. Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Trying To Build a Better Life in the Midwest” to seek ways to accommodate her husband’s sexual desires. My wife decided in her early 50s that she was tired of sex. I decided that respecting her wishes superseded all “desires of the flesh.” A woman has the right to say “no,” and any man who has been married for 35 years should have the wisdom to turn his attention to matters other than his sexual appetite. For me, that meant accepting my wife’s requests in order to avoid harassing her. My wife is a beautiful woman and the mother of our adult children. Her attention to the family’s needs and her detail in maintaining a beautiful home are examples of why sex is no longer a priority in my life. -- Respect for the Woman I Love Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Terry Kenneth Halifax (Toon, to his friends and family), began his journey in Trail, B.C. (August 25th 1960). To the devastation of many, his journey ended suddenly on February 25, 2015, in his home of many years, Inuvik N.T. Terry was known to his family and community as an inspired journalist, dedicated philanthropist, loving partner, son, brother, uncle and friend. He leaves behind a legacy of community contributions, awardwinning photography, and significant journalism. At this pinnacle of his life, he had found love and comfort with Elizabeth Fraser and Squish... His family and friends will remember him most by his selfless, genuine nature, sense of humor, culinary artistry, kind smile and soft voice. He is survived by his common law spouse Elizabeth, Mother Vera, Father Jed, sisters Sandra (Kurt) Chenuz, Judy (Dan) Bauer and brother Steven (Louise) Halifax. He also leaves behind a multitude of close friends and family members. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Lung Association.

BERLIN - A wave of migrants from the eastern fringes of Europe some 4,500 years ago left their trace in the DNA - and possibly the languages - of modern Europeans, according to a new study. Scientists discovered evidence of this Stone Age migration by analyzing DNA of 69 people who lived across Europe between 8,000 and 3,000 years ago. Among the shifts in the genetic make-up of ancient Europeans they found that DNA associated with the Yamnaya people appeared strongly in what is now northern Germany. The Yamnaya were herders who lived in the steppe north of the Black and Aral Seas. This injection of DNA indicates “a massive migration into the heartland of Europe from its eastern periphery,” concluded the researchers, led by David Reich of Harvard Medical School. Such a large-scale influx would likely have affected not just the DNA but ancient cultures as well. Although
genes can’t determine what people spoke, the researchers argue that their findings could influence the debate about the origins of Indo-European tongues that form the basis of modern languages such as English, German and Russian. Linguists have long debated whether Indo-European languages came to Europe with farmers migrating from the Middle East or some other group, such as the Yamnaya. “Major language replacements are thought to require large-scale migration,” said the authors of the study, which was published Monday by the journal Nature. “Our results make a compelling case for the steppe as a source of at least some of the Indo-European languages in Europe.” Andrew Garrett, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the study, said it was significant that the mass migration occurred at a time some models had previously identified for Indo-European expansion. “It fills in a significant piece of a big and interesting puzzle,” said Garrett.
Police campaign targets fentanyl in street drugs Vancouver police and British Columbia health agencies launched a campaign Monday to warn drug users about fentanyl, a powerful painkiller they say is being mixed in with street drugs and is fuelling an increase in overdose deaths. They also said most of those deaths involve recreational users rather than injection-drug addicts. Fentanyl is a synthetic narcotic that is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Dealers are mixing it with heroin and other street drugs, but users can’t detect it, police said. Dr. Mark Lysyshyn of the B.C. Coroners Service said fentanyl was detected in about a quarter of 330 illicit drug overdose deaths in 2014, compared with five per cent of the overdose deaths in 2012. While much of the media coverage about fentanyl has focused on injection heroin, but Lysyshyn said its impact is far broader. “The majority of people dying from using fentanyl are not using injection drugs,” said Lysyshyn. “They are mostly recreational drug users who are snorting or smoking.” The campaign uses posters and Facebook advertising with the mes-
sage: “Know Your Source? Be Drug Smart.” “People are taking a drug that they’re not expecting to take that they have no tolerance to, and they’re experiencing bad outcomes,” said Lysyshyn. People should know the symptoms of fentanyl overdose to prevent a death, he said. Those include difficulty talking or walking, sudden drowsiness, difficulty breathing and losing consciousness. “It’s basically a respiratory depressant, and that’s how it kills people.” Police in the Vancouver area have issued several warnings in the past year about the dangers of fentanyl. Most recently, police raised the alarm in late December following an armed robbery at a pharmacy. Last month, police in Vernon, BC., and Saskatoon linked fentanyl to overdose deaths in both cities Const. Sandra Glendinning said Vancouver police are finding fentanyl in almost every type of street drug. “Heroin, marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone. It’s coming in pill form, so what somebody might think is oxycodone or ecstasy might in fact be fentanyl,” said Glendinning.

Patient loses right-to-die case despite living will Canadian Press
The B.C. Court of Appeal has dismissed a bid from the family of an Alzheimer’s patient arguing she is being kept alive in a care home against her will. Justice Mary Newbury says in a written ruling that 83-year-old Margaret Bentley is exercising her consent when she opens her mouth to accept food and water. Bentley’s family has argued that she is being fed without her consent. More than 20 years
ago, Bentley wrote a socalled living will saying she did not wish to be kept alive artificially if her health deteriorated beyond the possibility of recovery. Newbury says that despite being unable to speak or recognize family members, Bentley is still capable of deciding whether to accept or refuse what she’s being fed. The former nurse,has lived at a care home in Abbotsford, B.C. since 2009.
Defence chief plans to step down later this year C anadian Press
The country’s top military commander is planning to step down. Several defence and government sources confirm Gen. Tom Lawson, who has been chief of defence staff for twoand-a-half years, has asked the government not to extend his term in the fall. Defence sources say his departure has been in the works since late last year and the process kicked into a higher gear shortly after the latest list of promotions and retirements was released a few weeks ago.
There is no set term for chiefs of defence staff, who serve at the pleasure of the prime minister, but the average time has been three years. The sources say a replacement short list has already been compiled and it includes Lt.-Gen. Jon Vance, the country’s operations commander; Lt.-Gen. Mike Day, who represents Canada at NATO’s southern headquarters; Lt.-Gen. Marquis Hainse, the commander of the army; and Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, who commands the navy.
