Fish stocking season is upon us

140 lakes and rivers in region to be stocked with 1.2 million fish in the next two months. ARNE PETRYSHEN

The Kootenay Trout Hatchery has begun stocking the region’s lakes with kokanee and trout. The first stock took place last week at Campbell Lake, near Fort Steele. That was followed by Premier Lake later last week. Lance Page, Hatchery Manager, said they will be up to 140 stocking lakes and rivers with about 1.2 million fish in the next two months. The locations to stock are determined by the regional biologist based on need. “We have three different strains of Rainbow, we have kokanee, we have two strains of the sturgeon, we have the Eastern Brook trout and we have cutthroat,” Page said. Page explained that some of the fish are raised for family fishing lakes, while others are raised for fly fishing or trophy lakes. “Some do better in different environments — that’s why we have different stocks of Rainbow,” Page said. “Throughout the region we have lakes identified as trophy lakes, lakes identified as family fishing lakes and they are stocked accordingly. So the family fishing lakes will get what we call catchables — fish that are of a size ready to catch. Great for kids and camping.” Then there are the fish that are great jumpers and fighters that will go to the trophy lakes.

Area residents coping with Nepal quake aftermath TREVOR CRAWLEY

Though Nepal is half a world away, there are plenty of local residents who have connections to the country and the tragic situation that has resulted from the 7.9 magnitude earthquake on Saturday. The quake has damaged much of Nepal’s infrastructure, which has made it difficult to communicate inside the country. The earthquake, with the epicentre outside the national capital of Kathmandu, is the worst to hit the country in more than 80 years and has claimed the lives of more than 4,000, with the death toll continually climbing as of Monday. As it stands at press time on Monday afternoon, there are

six confirmed Cranbrook/ Kimberley area residents in the country. •Alex and Tricia McLeod were trekking through the Nepal on their way to Mount Everest Base Camp. They were in a building that collapsed when the earthquake struck, but are safe in Lukla as of Monday via updates to family members and friends in Cranbrook. When the earthquake struck, the McLeods were in a building that collapsed. A Sherpa, Pema, dove on top of Tricia to protect her and was hit in the head by a falling brick, according to a report from Dennis Parsons, a family friend.

The locals also opened their homes to tourists and refugees and the McLeods and Pema were able to get some rest. From Shurke, they went to Lukla, which has a hospital and Pema was able to get some medical attention and antibiotics. “The group they are with is concerned about running out of resources soon, so they are going to move on to a smaller town named Chuplung, and about 1.5-hour trek from where they were this morning,” said Parsons. “They are experiencing after shocks, and have changed their plans to go to Kathmandu.” •Robyn Duncan and Kara Brissette are safe in Kathmandu in an American military compound and are waiting for an

Some Scattered Thoughts

Tuesday, APRIL 28, 2015

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

(Warning, there may be some satire below, so omit, or read twice). Apparently, many of the Old Guard of Cranbrook decided in the past election to focus on attacking potholes and taxes and threw out the former Group of Seven (GOS). Now we have a new GOS (minus one or two) that are dragging their feet at supporting the Local Arts Council acquisition of a desirable facility. Personally, I think potholes and taxes should both be increased. The first to profit the businesses of the 10+ tire and 15+ auto repair businesses in town, and the second to increase the contingency fund for: (1) carrying out feasibility studies to show that no work is needed or too expensive to do, (2) raising salaries of City staff and workers and the RCMP and (3) leaving a large treasure chest for the future GOS that may take office in 3.7 years. If we are not careful, the rising storm over the art funding and restoring old and useless heritage buildings will again divide Cranbrook, just as the East Hill debacle did five years ago. (I’m still upset about how that turned out). The addition of fluoridation to our water and deer culling (or not) are other popular issues that are effective in maintaining divisions and disharmony in our town. One popular motto that has arisen is, “When we don’t harmonize, we can vandalize”, as demonstrated to be effective by deer culling opponents. God forbid that we fund new ventures that do not appeal to the majority of voters in the past municipal election. We need more letters like those by Ms. Revie and Ms. Dodgson (Townsman-10 April and 14 April) to hold our feet to the fire. I suggest

that true lasting happiness and richness of life is found in bumpy streets (that we still have) and a large treasure chest (that we don’t have), and certainly not in the transient emotional highs experienced by inspiration from whimsical historical displays of art, culture and music. Those seem frivolous. I wonder whether the GOS would consider selling City Hall to fill the coffers. If it sold they could then take up residence in the long-vacant “Big Value” building to give that eyesore a new purpose. Or perhaps also sell the clock tower. If bill C-51 passes, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service could purchase it for placement of permanent personnel to keep a look-out for unsavoury characters in our midst. Jack Loeppky Cranbrook

Fire Hall

I have great difficulty in understanding why our Mayor and Council are so reluctant to enter into an agreement with the Cranbrook and District Arts Council in regard to the Fire Hall Building. The Arts Council has worked long and hard to develop a comprehensive business plan that would result in the establishment of a forward thinking and productive use of a vacant, city-owned heritage building. All three levels of government, federal, provincial and municipal, have acknowledged that there are many benefits to fostering and encouraging a vibrant arts culture. So many aspects of society are enhanced by a lively and engaged arts community – it helps drive the economy, educates, fosters inclusiveness and well-being. So why are most of our elected officials challenging, even dismissing, such a beneficial project?

The Arts Council does not want taxpayers money. Grant money has already been awarded by the federal government and the CBT towards the planning stages of the project. Our own city council’s official community plan and a $50,000 study that the city paid for also supports such a project. So why are these positive and affirmative actions being ignored, even cast aside? Does the city have its own vision for this building? I, for one, would be very interested to hear if they do have something in mind. Laura Wilson Cranbrook

Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower

T

he Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel. By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good. This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia. Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too. A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to critics. He contradicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience. His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable

at best. There was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and rescue station. Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople. It’s been two years, and nobody has. Premier Christy Clark BC VIEWS and Vancouver Mayor GreTom gor Robertson were quick to Fletcher summon TV cameras as oilsheen angst spreading through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it. Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria. I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970sera ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.” Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a halfhour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.) What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology. There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them. The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions. But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

Big Sky dreams

Jared du Toit in hunt at NCAA conference golf championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit is in the hunt for the 2015 NCAA Big Sky Conference Men’s Golf Championship after 18 holes at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort in Angels Camp, Calif. The University of Idaho Vandals sophomore and former student at Kimberley’s Selkirk Secondary School opened the tournament with a one-over 73 during the first round of play, good enough to leave him in a tie for third heading into the second round. “It definitely could’ve gone better. I made a couple mistakes, stupid little mistakes that just cost me a shot here and there,” du Toit said over the phone from Angels Camp Monday after his opening round. “But other than that, I did a lot of good things. Other than a couple bad breaks, I played pretty solid golf. If I can just build off the positives for tomorrow and fine tune everything else, I’ll be good to go come the final two rounds. “I was a little indecisive on some tee shots and some approach shots. When you’re a little indecisive, you don’t make the best swing. [Tuesday], having played this course a couple times, my decisions will be a little more crisp and more definite. Hopefully

that shows in my score and I can play a little more aggressive and a little more confident.” du Toit is one stroke back of co-leaders Riley Hayfield (Sacramento State) and Aaron Cockerill (Idaho) after opening day. Both fired opening-day 72s to finish the day even par.

Three other players join du Toit in a fourway tie for third place after the first round. Vandals teammate Daniel Sutton along with Nic Booth (Southern Utah) and Devon Purser (Weber State), all sit at one-over par heading into the second round. Round two of the 2015 Big Sky Men’s Championship is slated to get underway Tuesday morning. Tee times for round were not set as of print deadline Monday. du Toit, ranked fourth amongst Canadian men’s amateur golfers as of April 23, opened the 54-hole conference championship by draining birdies on three of his first four holes before a double-bogey on

the 204-yard, par-three eighth hole dropped him to a one-under 35 on the front nine. “I kind of had a clear mind coming in and shot by shot played smart,” du Toit said. “I left my approach shots on the right spot of the green and gave myself a good chance at making birdie on the first five holes.” After knocking down three birdies, five pars and one double bogey on the 3,346-yard front nine, du Toit ran into a bit of trouble on the 3,454-yard back nine. The Kimberley native dropped two birdies, but marked down four bogeys along the way. When all was said and done, he headed into the clubhouse after pencilling in a two-over 38 on the back stretch at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort Monday afternoon. “The back nine is definitely tougher than the front nine,” du Toit said. “There’s a couple holes that take the driver out of your hand and you’ve really got to position yourself. I feel like a lot of holes on the back nine are [about] trying to make par and eliminate the big number. When you get defensive, they start to go away. “The holes are a little oddly shaped. It’s just a little tougher.” Not only is du Toit in the hunt for the individ-

Host-team Sacramento State is on the heels of the Vandals after registering an nine-over 297 in round one. Leading the way is Cockerill, a fellow Canadian, at even par. Daniel Sutton sits tied with du Toit at one-over, while Rylee Iacolucci (fiveover, T16) and Ryan Porch (10-over, T32) round out the Vandals opening-day scoring. du Toit is one of four Canadians competing for the 2015 Big Sky Men’s Golf Championship. He is joined by Cockerill (Stony Mountain, Man.) as well as

Hamhuis added to Canada’s World Championship roster CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY - Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dan Hamuis will play for Canada at the 2015 IIHF world championship. Jim Nill, general manager of Canada’s national men’s team, made the announcement on Monday two days after Hamuis and his Canucks were eliminated from the NHL post-season. Hamhuis, from Smithers, B.C., will represent Canada for the ninth time in international competition. He helped his country win a gold medal at the

2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The 32-year-old blue-liner has played in the IIHF world championship on five previous occasions (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2013), winning a gold medal in 2007 and silver in 2008 and 2009. Canada opens the tournament against Latvia on May 1. It will also face Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland in preliminary-round play. With the addition of Hamhuis, Canada’s roster now stands at 22 players - two goaltenders, six defenceman and 14 forwards.

Weber suffered dislocated kneecap in Predators’ first-round loss ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE - Predators captain Shea Weber is recovering from surgery to repair a dislocated right kneecap, an injury that will take up to six weeks for a full recovery. The Predators announced the injury Monday as players cleaned out following their first-round Western Conference playoff loss to Chicago. Weber spoke to reporters Monday while using

crutches, and says he hasn’t seen what he called a harmless hit against the end boards that ended his season early. The two-time Olympic gold medallist with Team Canada won the NHL’s hardest shot competition at this season’s All-Star Game weekend with a blast of 108.5 mph. His 26 minutes, 22 seconds of ice time per game ranked fifth in the NHL, a spot behind his defensive partner Roman Josi.

Jack Sedgewick (Newmarket, Ont.) and Sameer Kalia (Campbellville, Ont.), both of Binghamton University. Sedgewick found himself in a tie for 30th place at 10-over par at the end of the day. Kalia came into the clubhouse at 13-over par, tied for 38th after his opening round. The men’s golf championship features 40 competitors from eight NCAA institutions. Competing for the Big Sky Men’s Golf Championship are: the Binghamton University Bearcats (Binghamton, N.Y.), University of Hartford Hawks (West Hartford, Conn.), University of Idaho Vandals (Moscow,

Idaho), University of North Dakota (Grand Forks, N.D.), University of Northern Colorado Bears (Greeley, Col.), Sacramento State Hornets (Sacramento, Calif.), Southern Utah University Thunderbirds (Cedar City, Utah) and Weber State University Wildcats (Ogden, Utah). The Big Sky Conference is a Division I NCAA conference. Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort is located in Angels Camp, Calif., approximately 130 km southeast of Sacramento. The 6,801-yard, par72 track re-designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., opened in 1996 and wanders through the

rolling Sierra Foothills, featuring 100-year-old oak trees above underground diggings left behind from the California Gold Rush of 1848 to 1855. This year marks the first NCAA Big Sky Conference Men’s Golf Championship since Weber State University claimed the 2002 conference title. Men’s golf was absent from Big Sky Conference athletics from 2003 through 2014.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will need to make an extra effort to determine what to do to get some feedback from an important person. Keep in mind that you could be stubborn or provocative if you don’t get the answer you desire. Be aware of the costs of proceeding. Tonight: Get some exercise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You typically are logical and forthright, but at this point in time, you’ll tap into your creativity when a problem appears. A meeting occurs that could confuse you as well as others for a while. You will be fine, as long as you focus on your priorities. Tonight: Go for what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Lie low and choose to be passive. Listen carefully to a conversation to determine what is being left out. Confusion seems to surround a work-related situation. Let it go; time will help you clear up the problem. Say little and learn a lot. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You know what you want, and you recognize the power of having support from others. When you speak to others, you have a way of conjuring up a clear mental picture for them. Experiment with new ideas and different approaches. Tonight: Out and about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. A conversation with a friend could be confusing at best. Pressure builds and adds some stress. An associate could paint a totally different picture, void of reality. Be aware. Tonight: Go for a brisk walk, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will jump over any obstacles that appear. Others are drawn to you, as you are able to accomplish a lot quickly. The only problem will be a judgment that might upset you or stop you in your tracks. Remember, this is just one opinion -- nothing more. Tonight: Go for the unusual. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating could

Tundra

prove to be rather fruitful. Nevertheless, keep what you know to yourself right now. Answers might come forward in an odd manner. Someone is likely to ask a question that reveals more knowledge. Honor a promise. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your goals in mind as you approach a situation that has several implications. Avoid asking difficult questions or putting someone on the spot. You have the ability to cloak your thoughts and ask the right questions without upsetting someone. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others see how gifted you are in many different ways. A demand might be overwhelming, and your knee-jerk reaction could cause a problem. You will want to see a situation differently from how you have viewed it in the past. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone you care about. Your way of proceeding will take you down a traditional

path. Still, be sure to respect others who might suggest a more creative direction. Try the unusual for once, to see what could develop. Tonight: Expand your mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with others on an individual level. You could be exhausted by what is happening in your immediate environment. Pull back some. A financial or emotional risk is sure to be a bad bet. Stay conservative in this realm for now. Tonight: Make it dinner for two. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take charge, and run with an idea while you can. Others won’t intend to interfere, but they will. You have reason to want to back off completely, as confusion seems to surround communication. Play it low-key. Tonight: Don’t challenge someone’s authority.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I believe my sister’s husband, “Roy,” is having an affair. He and I have been flirting for several years, and we’ve had several occasions where we could have been together, but because of my sister, we never have. My sister’s marriage has been troubled for years. The two of them live together, but in separate rooms. They haven’t been intimate for ages. My sister also has some health issues. Roy has said many times that the two of them should be able to see other people. Recently, I saw Roy with some younger woman, and the way they were looking at each other, I knew they were more than friends. He has never looked at my sister that way. We do a lot of things together as a family. During our most recent family weekend, Roy kept taking off alone. I believe Roy knows that I’m aware of his affair, even though he hasn’t said anything. I’m pretty sure my sister already knows and is hurting. She barely speaks to him and spends most of her time with her grandchildren. They both act as though nothing has happened. Roy has cheated before. I don’t want my sister to be hurt again, but I also don’t want to make things awkward between the two of us. I think it’s time for my sister to let Roy go and move on. How do I handle this? -- Hurting, Too Dear Hurting: We think you are overly involved in your sister’s marriage. You have no proof of anything, only suspicions, and the fact that you have flirted with your brother-in-law in the past raises questions about your motives now. Your sister may be choosing not to confront her husband’s behavior, and that is up to her. Please try to be emotionally supportive of whatever path she takes to deal with this. Be a shoulder to lean on when she needs one. You don’t have to do more. Dear Annie: I have liked this boy for almost a year. When I first started hanging out with him, one of his friends told me he liked me, too. He eventually asked for my phone number at church, and I gladly handed it over. But we soon stopped hanging out, which left me feeling hopelessly confused. My friends say I should just go for it and ask him for his number. What should I do? -- Hopeless Dear Hopeless: This boy may have needed a lot of courage to ask for your number and didn’t have enough in reserve to actually call. Or he may have been teased by his friends and pretended that it was a joke to save face. Or he may be less interested than you hoped. There’s no way to know unless you take the next step yourself. We know it’s difficult, so imagine a negative result -- he turns down your request for his number. So? At least you’ll know he’s not the guy for you, and you can put it behind you. It’s better than hanging in limbo indefinitely. Good luck. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

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 – 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 AOL’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: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” 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 sites’ 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

ICU receives $1,000 boost Submit ted

This past week EKFH had the honour to visit with the members of the Sand Creek Lady Lions in Jaffray to accept a gift of $1,000 for the ICU Redevelopment Capital Campaign. This is the second gift from the group of 17 supporting a major campaign for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The first was

for the digital stereotactic mammography unit and the current gift is making an impact for equipment for the current EKFH’s intensive care campaign. “Our Lady Lions are just so pleased to have been able to support the foundation and the regional hospital ICU project,” said Sand Creek Lady Lions President Maxine Johnson. “This gift is our

way of sayings thank for offering the best in health care to those of us living in Jaffray.” The group conducts a fall auction, Christmas baking and craft sale and a pancake breakfast as part of their yearly fundraising efforts. To learn more about the Sand Creek Lady Lions contact Maxine Johnson at 429-3438.
