Nepal earthquake: ‘It was absolute chaos’ Kimberley resident Robyn Duncan describes the moment the quake hit and the aftermath
T R E VO R C R AW L E Y
Kimberley native Robyn Duncan is safely home after experiencing firsthand the devastating earthquake and
subsequent aftermath in Nepal last weekend. Duncan, along with her friend, Kara Brissette, were there to experience the unique
landscape and culture of the Himalayas when the 7.8-magnitude quake hit in what is turning out to be one of the nation’s worst natu-
ral disasters in over 80 years. Duncan had been in the country for just over a month, beginning their trip in Shivalaya,
and hiked into the Khumbu region, where they began the Three Passes Trek. However, after a bout of high-altitude sickness, she

Phase 1 of the new museum wing at the Cranbrook History Centre was officially opened this weekend, with a special ribbon-cutting event for members and invited guests on Friday and another event for the general public on Saturday. Above: Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt, Cranbrook History Centre Executive Director Char Murray and Tom Kirk, Chair of the Board of Directors, cut the ribbon declaring Phase 1 of the Cranbrook Museum open. Phase 1 is the lower floor of the eastern side of the complex, known as the freight shed. It is now home to a growing collection displays and artifacts representing a comprehensive history of Cranbrook and the East Kootenay. See more in Tuesday’s Daily Townsman.
Ranchers take beefs to RDEK T RE VO R C R AWL EY
Invasive weeds and mud bogging out at Lake Koocanusa were two topics brought up by local ranchers who recently met with Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Stan Doehle, the RDEK board director for Area B, attended the meeting earlier in
April as ranchers with the Kootenay Livestock Association to bring forward concerns about invasive weeds and the number of people mud bogging during the upcoming May long weekend. “Rangeland is slowly being taken over by invasive weeds and the Ministry [of Forests
Lands and Natural Resource Operations] is working with those ranchers to put funding in place to put control onto the weeds,” said Doehle. “…When you get the quads that spread out from the RV parks and the number of them is a huge problem on that rangeland.”
In a letter written by Randy Reay, the president of the KLA, local ranchers are asking for the provincial government to maintain or increase funding for weed control, which is aversely affecting the rangeland.

headed to the Annapurna region. On Saturday, April 25, Duncan was riding a bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu, the national capital, when the earthquake hit. “We were passing through a small village when the quake struck,” Duncan said. “At first, you don’t realize what is happening. I thought we had hit something. But when the bus didn’t stop moving and we looked outside the window to see the ground moving and everything shaking and swaying, it clicked. “It was absolute chaos. People were streaming out of their homes, and a long line of people were using a long piece of bamboo to try to prop up the electrical wires that were swinging dangerously.” The bus stopped and Duncan thought the wires were going to collapse on the vehicle. “People were screaming,” she said. “No one knew what to do. It was utter chaos. In hindsight, the bus was probably the safest place I could’ve been, given where we were at the time.” Duncan was able to contact her family almost immediately after to tell them she was safe. At that time, she was the only passenger on the bus with a connection to the outside world with her cell phone, and was able to learn through her family that a massive earthquake had struck which had affected the entire country. Remarkably, the bus wasn’t damaged and it was able to continue the journey to Kathmandu almost right
“We are so grateful to the Americans for opening their doors to us. I don’t know what we would’ve done without them — our hotel kicked us out … the building beside it had fallen down and they had pulled bodies out of it — we had nowhere to go, no food and no water.” Robyn Duncan
away. “We were stopped a lot along the road — there was significant rock fall and accidents along the way, but we made it through to Kathmandu by the evening and I was able to rendezvous with Kara that night,” Duncan said. While a picture tells a thousand words, Duncan says it’s hard to adequately describe the chaos, tragedy and destruction facing the Nepali people. “Whole buildings were flattened, many with people trapped inside,” she said. “So many of the heritage sites were just gone. Roads had huge cracks in them. People were terrified of the aftershocks that we knew were to come and everyone poured into the open spaces and set up tent camps. Thousands upon thousands of people were outside.”

Shout hooray for Turtle Day FWCP and Rocky Mountain Naturalists Host Annual Event May 12, at Elizabeth Lake
For the Townsman
It’s Turtle Day — take two — for Cranbrook! Following the success of Turtle Day last year, you once again invited to Elizabeth Lake, Visitor Centre, on Tuesday May 12, between 3 and 5 p.m. to learn more about Western Painted Turtles. This is a great opportunity to see displays, learn about the turtle life-cycle, talk to biologists, and hopefully see some hatchlings! This free event is hosted by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) and the Rocky Mountain Naturalists, with support from BC Hydro, the Ministry of Forests Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, and the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network. “Connecting people with natural environment is key to helping conserve fish and wildlife for future generations,” said organizer and FWCP Communications Coordinator, Angus Glass. “And this is event does just that, as well as show case some of the actions we, and our partners, are taking to support species at risk such as the Painted Turtle.” The extremely high water levels of 2014 may result in fewer turtle hatchlings — that typi-

Last year, the female adult turtles were forced to find other suitable nesting habitat with the main nesting area being inundated with water for a prolonged period of time. The Western Painted Turtle is the only freshwater turtle native to B.C., and has developed some extraordinary adaptations to survive in this area, which is at its northern end of its distribution in North America. It’s a Blue-listed (vulnerable) species in the province, and the FWCP, together with the
Rocky Mountain Naturalists, have been working together to monitor, and protect, the turtles at Elizabeth Lake. The FWCP in the Columbia region is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., First Nations and the Public Stakeholders to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams. Wetlands are among FWCP’s priority habitats for attention, and previous FWCP-supported projects have helped improve turtle habitat and survival.

City of Cranbrook puts support behind coal sector Arne Petryshen
The City of Cranbrook is getting behind the coal train. At last week’s meeting, council adopted a resolution acknowledging the importance of the coal industry. The resolution followed a delegation from the Coal Alliance, Teck Coal and the United Steelworkers, that spoke to council on April 13. The resolution is specifically focussed on B.C.’s coal industry and the importance of the Elk Valley’s coal sector to Cranbrook and the East Kootenay. Teck Coal’s chief output in the region is metallurgic coal— as opposed to thermal coal —which is used in the production of steel. Products include anything from cell phones to wind turbines to subway cars to surgical equipment. Coun. Danielle Cardozo said it is a great initiative and an economic driver. “But I would be interested in having staff, with this support, ask Teck to open up their community givings initiatives to our area,”

Cardozo said, noting that typically Teck’s program is focused on the Elk Valley. She added that it couldn’t hurt to ask. Coun. Tom Shypitka said that while Teck is located in the Elk Valley, the economic spin-offs are felt in Cranbrook. “I think they support us already,” Shypitka said. CAO Wayne Staudt noted that in the case of the Reconciliation statue at the airport, Teck made up a significant portion of the funding — which totalled around $100,000. “Council may not be aware of this, but not one single tax dollar went into that sculpture, that was entirely funded from the private sector,” Staudt said. Mayor Lee Pratt said it’s important, as Coun. Cardozo said, to keep in touch with Teck. “If somebody has a need in the community and is looking for some support on that, that they don’t hesitate to call them also,” Pratt said. Cardozo added that her suggestion was not to put pressure
on Teck. “I worked with Teck a great deal and the message I’ve gotten was, ‘well you’re not going to get it unless you ask,’” she said. “So it’s building that relationship, supporting one another, and acknowledging that you want to develop that.” The resolution notes that the B.C. coal sector employs 26,000 people, directly and indirectly, and creates $3.2 billion in economic activity, as well as $715 million in tax revenue in the province. The resolution also notes that the coal sector helps pay for hospitals, schools, roads and other public services. It notes that the industry in the Elk Valley is also a major economic driver for Cranbrook, and it directly employs 400 Cranbrook residents. “Therefore be it resolved: that this council acknowledges the important contributions to jobs, the economy and public services that the coal sector in British Columbia provides,” read the resolution.

BC’s environmental assessment office has ruled that the construction last fall of a concrete pad for a day lodge on the Jumbo Glacier Resort site must stop because its location in an avalanche zone does not comply with the terms of the project’s environmental certificate. In an April 24 letter to the developer, Glacier Resorts Ltd., the environmental assessment office’s compliance officer Autumn Cousins stated that, “It is the [our] view that it is not possible for [the developer] to achieve compliance … with the two structures as currently located.” The environmental certificate — the government document that says the project can go ahead, with environmental conditions — expired in October and can only be renewed if
the Minister of the Environment decides the project was “substantially started” at that time. The day-lodge pad was an eleventh-hour attempt by the developer to show that construction had begun. Environment minister Mary Polak inspected the site in October but has not yet made a decision on whether it was substantially started. If Polak decides the project was not substantially started, the project will have to go back to square one and apply for another environmental certificate. If, on the other hand, the minister decides in the developer’s favour, construction may continue. But to keep the day lodge in its current location the developer would have to apply for an amendment to the environmental certificate.

Nepal recovery could take years Continued from page 1 Though the earthquake itself caused massive damage, the aftershocks added to the destruction by bringing structures down and pushing over unstable ones that were on the verge of collapse. “After the first night was over, the panic subsided and reality hit,” Duncan said. “The scale of devastation and the amount of work to do to dig people out and re-build the country sank in.” While on the bus to Kathmandu, Duncan befriended a woman who owned a hotel in the city. A day after the earthquake, Duncan went to visit her at the hotel and learned of the existence of an American compound at Phora Club that was taking in Americans and providing food and water. Duncan and Brissette made their way over and were let in even though they aren’t American citizens. Once inside, they found many other Canadians, Brits, Australians and hundreds
of U.S. citizens. “I cannot give enough thanks to the American consular staff there — they were truly amazing,” Duncan said. “They worked in shifts of two and were supporting hundreds of us. We slept under huge tents and they provided military cots for us. Clean water was provided and we had an endless supply of military food rations.” The compound was a wideopen space, which mitigated the danger from collapsing structures due to aftershocks. Once the airport reopened, the Americans provided free shuttles as taxis service had been widely disrupted. If they didn’t get into the compound, Duncan said they would’ve had no idea where to go. “We are so grateful to the Americans for opening their doors to us,” Duncan said. “I don’t know what we would’ve done without them — our hotel
kicked us out — the building beside it had fallen down and they had pulled bodies out of it — we had nowhere to go, no food and no water.” At the time of the earthquake, there was no Canadian embassy or consulate in Nepal, but officials from the Canadian High Commission in Delhi arrived at the Phora Club compound three days afterwards and set up a camp. Having witnessed the destruction firsthand, Duncan said the country is going to be recovering for years and needs support both in the short- and longterm. The most immediate need would be financial donations to any of the charities that already have boots on the ground, such as the Canadian Red Cross Nepal Region Earthquake Fund. “So much infrastructure has been damaged, from houses to water lines, roads and more. And their tourism industry, which they depend on so heavily, has been decimated,” she said.
Ranchers voice concerns Continued from page 1
“We do ask you, Mr. Bennett, to continue to work hard with us to try ago maintain or increase the funding for weed treatment, to use your influence within the Ministry of Highways to bring an end to the Ditch Trenching, which we are convinced is a wast of money and a major reason for the spread of noxious weeds along our roadways…” While the KLA is supportive of the government’s efforts to reduce ‘red tape’, Reay is concerned that large forestry companies are avoiding responsibility for spreading noxious weeds as they are no longer required to inventory weeds before a logging plan is approved. “Logging is an important industry in our province and it is also very important in opening
up areas of overgrowth so that grass can grow,” Reay wrote. “We want the logging companies to be successful but we must make sure they do their part in containing and reducing noxious weeds.” A simple fox would be having forestry companies grass seed low elevation areas that are logged, all roads and skid trails in order to increase forage for wildlife and cattle, he added. Reay also brought up his concerns on mud-bogging. “The truth is, Mr. Bennett, if dancers or forest companies did to the crown land what these ‘tourists’ are doing, we would face huge fines and our tenures would be taken away from us,” Reay wrote. Reay proposes setting up road
blocks to seize alcohol, restrict mud bogging to one manageable site only with a police presence and advertise that past behaviour will not be tolerated. Doehle noted that the RDEK is working with the province and various local governments to make sure everyone is on board with the Koocanusa Analysis Plan, that was recently completed with the input of government and private stakeholders. “First phases of the plan is signage, policing, making people aware of what they can and can’t do, because we’re not trying to shut the place down, we just got to put some control back into it,” said Doehle. “Then the ranchers, the residents and everybody alike will be much happier with what comes out of that.”

The B.C. government is adding new trades seats to 12 post-secondary institutions — including the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook — to allow students to sample different trades. The “trades discovery” program runs 10 to 12 weeks, providing hands-on experience. Those who complete the program can then enrol in a “foundation” program for the trade or seek an apprenticeship place with an employer. The additional funding of $727,500 is to provide 68 seats at Camosun College, 32 at College of New Caledonia, 32 at College of the Rockies, 16 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 16 at Nicola Valley Institute of Tech-
nology, 12 at North Island College, 40 at Northwest Community College, 32 at Okanagan College, 16 at Selkirk College, 30 at Thompson Rivers University, 16 at University of the Fraser Valley and 16 at Vancouver Island University. Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson said the blueprint assigns 25 per cent of post-secondary funds to in-demand jobs, to fill positions left vacant by a wave of retirements in the coming decades. New or expanded trades facilities are underway at Camosun College, Okanagan College and Nicola Valley. According to the Industry Training Authority, more than 41,000 participants are now involved in an adult, youth or foun-
dation trades program. Shane Simpson, the NDP’s critic for labour and skills, said the problem is not getting students started in trades, it is finding them apprenticeship places that put them on the job. The B.C. Federation of Labour has called on the government to put apprentice requirements into contracts for public construction projects. Simpson said there are also few apprentices in the public service. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said in the legislature last week that she is concerned about the low completion rates in trade programs, and she expects to make an announcement soon about placements in government activities.

Hats off to CHCA
Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
On behalf of the East Kootenay Foundation of Health, we would like to recognize and congratulate the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary for the recent very significant donation for the health care equipment associated with the new ICU, as recognized in the Townsman, April 16 edition. The Cranbrook Auxiliary has an outstanding history of making repetitive significant annual contributions for the enhancement of health care in our Regional Hospital. In the last five years this organization has averaged $600,000 a year, according to this same article. Where would our health care be without these dollars? It is amazing to recognize that these funds originate not only from the Hospital gift shop, but also the Thrift Store. Both of these are operated and managed by volunteers (150-plus in number). These same volunteers also fulfill a significant function. They direct patients to their ultimate health care area in the hospital. This care and attention in the guiding of these hospital visitors definitely minimizes the anxiety associated with any medical visit. So it’s hats off to the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary volunteers and the organization in general for yet another significant contribution to the health care offered in our Regional Hospital. The Executive of the East Kootenay Foundation of Health Board Brian Clifford, Chairman of the Board Wes Rogers, 1st Vice-Chair, President.
Fraggle Rock
Over the past several years, some good spirited local person has put a very nice Fraggle Rock sign on the perfect rock just outside of town on the way to Fernie. It has been very well constructed and very reminiscent of that great kid’s show from years ago. It always made me smile that someone would go to the effort and it always reminded me of when our kids were young and we wouldn’t miss the show. Each time the sign has been erected, someone has destroyed it and I cannot understand why. A heartfelt thank you to the person who went to the trouble of putting up such a nice sign/memory and a big ‘Why?’ to the person who has torn them down. John Nesbitt Cranbrook
Vote-splitting
Monday, May 4, 2015
The Harper Conservatives has acclaimed David Wilks as their candidate for our gerrymandered federal constituency of Kootenay Columbia. As a resident of Cranbrook for 21 years, we thought we’d be in a different constituency when we moved to Nelson in 2013. Not so. In the next election folks like me in Nelson will be voting for the same Member of Parliament as all of you in the East Kootenay. The Harper Conservatives are hoping that once again the Liberals, NDP and Greens will split the left of center vote, which will allow them to walk up the middle for another four years of Conservative government. Can our country tolerate another four years of Conservative government? When we consider their leadership on the environment, addressing social issues faced by lower and middle income Canadians, track record on supporting corporations and big business, blatant disregard for democratic principles, mismanagement of our economy and natural resources (as in tar sands) eviscerating the CBC, as well as
doing irreparable damage to our international reputation, I shutter to think what four more years of Conservative rule will do to our country and way of life. Obviously we need a change back to the progressive governments we elected from the 1960’s into this millennium where social programs were created to address the needs of most Canadians, not just the wealthy. However, this will take a mammoth effort on the part of all citizens, especially each of us in Kootenay Columbia. The Harper government gained a majority in 2011 when only 60% of eligible voters cast ballots and gave the Conservatives 38% of the popular vote. Less than 1 in 3 eligible Canadians voted for the Harper government in 2011 with our first-pastthe-post electoral system. Are we going to learn from that or allow it to happen again? With an election just a matter of months away, it’s time for all of us who want change to work together. Liberals, NDP and Greens cannot afford to continue to split our votes allowing the Conservatives to represent Kootenay Columbia once again because we aren’t united in our opposition of their style of government. We need the progressive parties to cooperate and stop snipping at one another. Mulcair and Trudeau and May need to collaborate for the sake of our country and democracy. Here in Kootenay Columbia, we need to join forces to identify one progressive candidate who will represent our interests and get that person elected so we are well represented in Ottawa. We cannot afford to be complacent. Our country’s future is at stake. Our children and grandchildren’s Canada is at stake. Gerry Sobie Nelson
Kits Coast Guard
Re: “Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower” (B.C. Views, April 28). I believe I may be the “retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station” referred to by Tom Fletcher. I am a disgruntled Canadian citizen and voter, not a disgruntled retiree of the Coast Guard. I was good at my job and loved my career. I retired after 32 years of service to an organization that employs so many talented and hard-working people, all dedicated to lifesaving, marine safety and yes environmental response. I didn’t even think of getting involved until such time that the exaggerations and fabrications began pouring from the Coast Guard’s commissioners and deputy commissioners’ mouths, all for the purpose of saving the Prime Minister’s reputation for just one of his many ill-thought-out cuts. The Coast Guard Station Kitsilano was primarily a rescue boat station, but “Kits Base” was also one of the best equipped and trained lifeboat stations in Canada. That’s a fact, not some jaded opinion from a disgruntled ex-employee. We fought fires, responded to numerous oil spills yearly, rescued and assisted hundreds of mariners and boaters annually, trained many “basic oil pollution responders” annually (until that program was shut down also). The staff at the station also monitored and helped to maintain navigational aids in the busy harbour. I was a coxswain at Kitsilano Base, a trained pollution response technician and a licensed hovercraft pilot. Because of retirement I can now speak freely, unlike the Coast Guard personnel who are still employed and unable to comment due to fear of repercussions from management. How do you explain closing one of the
busiest Coast Guard stations in the country to save $700,000 a year? When will Canadians wake up? Capt. Tony Toxopeus AMS Surrey
Family Caregiver Week This week, May 4-10 has been declared Family Caregiver Week in BC. Family has always been understood as the base, where we give and receive love, caring and support. This is especially true for our vulnerable periods when we may be frail and dependent. Every person has a unique set of family relationships, including varying degrees of affection, contact and support from others. In 2015, we are witnessing rapidly evolving changes in relationships, roles and systems. Biological families may be scattered over large distances, often struggling with the realities of livelihood and raising their own families. One result is that many of us have developed a broader definition of who we consider to be ‘our family’. Now, often they are our friends, long term neighbours, fellow volunteers, etc. They are the people around us, with whom we share values, interests and mutual concern for each other’s well being. Currently, there are about 13 million Canadians providing some type of support or care to a family member or friend with age- related health issues. It is estimated that these ‘informal’ caregivers contribute the equivalent of $5 billion in unpaid labour annually. Many readers will recognize that they are, or have been, part of this group. This week we say thanks to each of you. You are unsung heroines and heroes of our society. You are the eyes, ears, smiles and hands of compassion, which enrich the quality of our Canadian culture. Providing informal care to a loved one can also be fraught with challenges. Identifying and navigating appropriate and timely health services, understanding and responding to difficult behaviours of declining mental function, and dealing with intense personal emotions triggered by caregiving are only three of many issues that can arise for caregivers. Fortunately in BC, there are useful, easily available resources to support folks who support our vulnerable citizens as informal caregivers. Family Caregivers Network Society (www.fcns.caregiving.org) has much information; especially useful are recorded webinars that explore the most difficult issues of family caregiving. Locally, the Caregiver Network for EK Seniors Society offers monthly, facilitated support groups in communities throughout the region. Telephone support and resource information are also available for those who can’t come to a group. A major intent with these programs is to decrease isolation and empower informal caregivers to take care of themselves, as they support their vulnerable family member or friend. Contact this service, by calling toll free 1-877- 489-0803. One final reflection, the demographics are predictive. My baby boomer generation needs to be investing time and energy now, to strengthen our personal social networks. In the near future, our sheer numbers will require that we become ‘family’ caregivers for each other. Darcy Russell Caregiver Network for EK Seniors Society

is today). The board met again in October, this time to discuss a book. A patron had asked the library board to review the novel “And Quiet Flows the Don” by Mikhail Sholokhov. An dense epic about Cossacks living along the Don river, the concerned patron thought it to be “unfit” for Cranbrook readers. A board member had read it cover to cover, and also found it “unfit.” It was then voted not to acquire this title. It is with deep regret that no one recorded just what exactly was so “unfit” about it. Not only is “And Quiet Flows the Don” one of the most significant works of Russian literature to come out of the 20th century, but Sholokhov was awarded the Nobel Prize for it. At least this was handled appropriately. Not so with a decade later, when a patron — incensed at seeing the library had a copy of John Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ —took it upon themselves to immediately destroy it. While not alone in his opinion — Steinbeck’s masterpiece is one of the most challenged books of all time — this poor soul had to face a very unhappy librarian and her board members. More shelved were built under windows and over radiators, but as the 1950s approached, the Cranbrook Public Library clearly needed more space.

Big, bad bullies
Rodeo stock runs rampant; Lozier claims buckle at Nitros Bull-A-Rama Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
By the time the night was over, there was more dirt in the air than scores on board. They don’t call bull riding the toughest sport in dirt for no reason and folks in Kimberley got a good taste why Saturday night at the Kimberley Dynamiters Bull-A-Rama. Only four cowboys managed to hang tight for eight seconds at the Kimberley Civic Centre, with six total rides scoring at the Bull Riders Ca n a d a -s a n c t i o n e d event. Reid Lozier, of 150 Mile House, B.C., was the most resilient roughstock rider of the night, scoring twice en route to collecting the event buckle and a cool $2,760. Garrett Green, of Meeting Creek, Alta., opened the long-go festivities in promising fashion, cruising to an 82-point ride atop Fired Up. After Green’s opening benchmark, the bovine bullies took over, launching cowboys left, right and centre onto the dirt-covered floor of the arena.
More often than not, the chute doors barely opened before the poor cowboy was sent flying skyward off the back of his mount. A second score finally hit the board after Australian cowboy Jake Wilson rode 5 Star Whiskey to a 79-point tally. Brian Hervey, 2013 Bull Riders Canada (BRC) National Champion, earned his place in the short-go after scoring a 76.5-point ride on Pitch Dark. The last rider in the long-go was Lozier, who lit up the arena with an 85-point ride on Canadian Diesel. Though the short-go was just as devastating as the long-go for the cowboys, both Lozier and Green came through with the best rides of the night, making for a great finish. Finishing second in the long-go, Green chose Joe Schmo for his short-go ride and notched an 86.5-point ride to give himself a shot at the buckle. For Lozier, his chosen bull was a fitting one. The 150 Mile House native rode Your Highness
to an 85-point score in the long-go, good enough to give him the crown, outscoring Green by a combined margin of 170 to 168.5. Though Green finished behind Lozier at the end of the night, the Meeting Creek cowboy came out with the bigger payday, earning a grand total of $2,835 for his efforts. Wilson ($570) and Hervey ($285) were also paid out. With 140 points towards the overall BRC standings, Hervey maintained his standing atop the leaderboard. The native of Brant, Alta., has collected 1,895 points and $9,089 to date, with second-place Josh Birks 780 points back. Apart from the dirty, dusty drama in the rodeo arena, fans were entertained by the charismatic and upbeat theatrics of Jason Charters, the Get Down Rodeo Clown. Complete with colourful attire and ever-changing outfits, Charters jumped the glass, danced in the dirt and kept the humour flowing as the night progressed.
His back-and-forth with announcer Wes Cummings kept fans entertained during lulls in the action. Trick rider Shelby Cummings opened the evening in sparkling fashion, literally, as she dazzled fans with fireworks bursting from a Canadian flag during the singing of the national anthem. Cummings returned later for a full-scale routine, leaving fans with jaws in the dirt. Last, but certainly not least, the Civic Centre proved perfect for hilarious mutton busting, as 16 bold and brave local youngsters mounted skittish sheep, hanging on for dear life. Ahead of the event, producer and promoter Guy Thompson wished to extend his thanks to the City of Kimberley and a long list of sponsors, headed by Cranbrook Dodge. Rodeo stock was provided courtesy Big Chief/Armstrong Bucking Bulls (Stettler, Alta.), Coyote Creek Rodeo (Vernon, B.C.) and Outlaw Buckers Rodeo Corp. (Stettler, Alta.).

Mayweather defeats Pacquiao in richest fight ever Tim Dahlberg Associated Press
LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr. was money once again in the richest fight ever. Mayweather used his
Wheat Kings advance to WHL championship Rob Henderson Brandon Sun
Sweet Caroline sounded better than ever to the Brandon Wheat Kings Friday. As is usually the case when Neil Diamond croons at Westman Place, the Wheat Kings were on their way to victory. Friday’s 8-2 win over the Calgary Hitmen meant more than that, though, as it locked up Brandon’s first appearance in the WHL championship final in 10 years with a 4-1 series victory. “It feels unreal,” said 20-year-old defenceman Eric Roy, who scored the Wheat Kings’ first goal and added an assist. “It’s so surreal. It’s very exciting, especially two years ago we were in last place or whatever it was. But we have a really good team here and we’re just excited for the opportunity.” Just like in Game 4 in
Calgary, when the Wheat Kings scored five second-period goals in a span of 10:25 to send them on their way to an 8-3 victory, Brandon took over Friday with an explosion in the middle frame. The Wheat Kings were faster this time, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 lead in a span of 6:48, including goals 10 seconds apart by Ryan Pilon and Nolan Patrick. Jayce Hawryluk led the charge with two goals and two assists in front of a sellout crowd of 5,337. “It just keeps happening, I don’t know,” Hawryluk said of the binge scoring. “I think one goal leads to two goals, leads to three goals. It’s just repetitive. It’s nice, very nice.” John Quenneville also scored twice for the Wheat Kings, while Patrick had a goal and two assists. Tim McGauley
chipped in with an empty netter, while Jordan Papirny made 31 saves to improve his and the team’s record to 12-3 in the playoffs, with three straight five-game series victories.
The Hitmen carried the play in the first period and their hard work was rewarded with the only goal of the frame. On the tail end of a power play, Pavel Karnaukhov fired a bad-angle shot — the puck was actually behind the goal-line — bouncing the biscuit off Papirny’s skate and into the Wheat Kings’ net. Were it not for Papirny, it could have been
worse for Brandon. He made a spectacular save earlier in the game, kicking out a pad to deny Radel Fazleev on a Calgary two-on-one. Roy got the Wheat Kings rolling in the second, gathering the puck after Colton Waltz’s shot was stopped in front and firing it past Hitmen starter Mack Shields. From there it was all Brandon as the Wheat Kings tacked on four quick goals. Pilon and Patrick scored rapid-fire while the teams were four aside, leading the Hitmen to pull their starting goalie for the third time in the series. Hawryluk and Patrick welcomed Brendan Burke with power-play goals. “I thought Calgary got the momentum. They got the power play and really outplayed us in the first period,” Wheat Kings head coach
and general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. “So to get on the board on the second, get our crowd into the game and then the two fouron-four goals and of course the two five-onfour goals made it a great period for us.” Adam Tambellini scored for Calgary late in the second, but McCrimmon felt like his team played better with the lead in the third period Friday, limiting the Hitmen to eight shots and adding three more goals, including Hawryluk’s 10th of the playoffs on a breakaway. The Wheat Kings will face the winner of the Kelowna Rockets and Portland Winterhawks for the Ed Chynoweth Cup. The Rockets beat the Winterhawks 2-1 in overtime Friday to take a 3-2 lead in the best-ofseven Western Conference final.
reach and his jab Saturday night to frustrate Manny Pacquiao, piling up enough points to win a unanimous decision in their welterweight title bout. Mayweather remained unbeaten in 48 fights with a win that cemented his legacy as the best of his generation. Pacquiao did what he wanted to do, chasing Mayweather around
the ring most of the fight. But he was never able to land a sustained volume of punches, often looking frustrated as Mayweather worked his defensive wizardry once again. Two ringside judges scored the fight 116-112, while the third had it 118-110. The Associated Press had Mayweather ahead 115-113.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your creativity outwits any hassle presented at the moment. You will assume the lead and remain positive, no matter what comes up. You have a vision or an ideal that you are following, which is likely to reveal its strength. Tonight: Evaluate new information. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be taking others’ comments personally, but know that their words are not directed at you. Try not to take others on or be provocative, if possible. Identify with people by listening to where they are coming from. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be sitting on a difficult situation only to see yet another problem arise from out of nowhere. You can hold in your frustration for only so long. Your creativity and ability to see past the immediate situation will come forth if you just relax. Tonight: Get some exercise.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Tap into your creativity when deciding how to approach an emotional situation. As you toy with different ideas, you’ll see multiple possibilities. You seem to have more choices than you ever thought possible. Tonight: Let your imagination make the call. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Getting back to basics will become more and more important when trying to find a solution. You also can try exploring new options. A boss could be challenging. Unexpected insight and developments will help point to an unforeseen path. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be tired of a negative pattern and will be ready to try a new approach. You might experience some reluctance, but ultimately you have nothing to lose. You are coming from a strong foundation. Tonight: Share your thoughts with a good friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to enter a new
Tundra
phase and move toward a more positive change. A partner could have a very strong opinion, and likely will want to convince you that he or she is right. Zero in on what is best for you. Tonight: A conversation with a challenging friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll be on top of a problem and will be willing to follow through on certain priorities. You might be changing your opinions as a result of having more discussions. Take a bow when someone gives you praise for your flexibility and insightfulness. Tonight: In control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your instincts don’t always guide you through problems, but you would be well advised to follow them now. A mental alarm could be more important than you realize. Assess what is happening with someone at a distance. Tonight: Some extra time for thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You easily could make a choice that seems right at first, but then question it later. Slow
down some but also follow your feelings. A loved one seems determined to have your attention. Observe what is going on with this person. Tonight: Where it is happening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Tension continues to build. How you see a situation could change radically if you would just relax. However, you might be so determined to have a matter play out the way you want it to that you lose sight of the big picture. Tonight: Slow down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could notice a certain amount of division over recent ideas. You might be taken aback by what is happening around you. Kick impulsiveness to the wayside. Take your time when dealing with a personal matter involving your finances. Tonight: Unwind to a good movie.

Hagar the Horrible
Baby Blues
Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband graduated from a very prestigious art college. Early in his career, he gave away some paintings to close friends and family members. Recently, he did a beautiful portrait for a family member who insisted on paying my husband. He happily agreed and quoted them a reasonable price. They told my husband they would get a check to him soon. It’s been more than six months, and they haven’t paid a penny. It burns us up to see this piece of art displayed in their home. We know it was probably a mistake to give away his early paintings, but he is trying to rectify this. My husband doesn’t know how to confront this family member without causing a rift. Help. -- Artist’s Wife Dear Wife: If your husband plans to earn a living with his art, he needs to stop allowing others to take advantage of him. He should send this family member a “bill,” saying he hopes they like the painting, that he has enjoyed seeing it in their home, and that he is looking forward to receiving the check for his first paid commission. He should remind them of the amount they agreed to, and ask whether they’d like to pay it by check, cash or an online transfer. And in the future, he should not turn over a piece of artwork until he has received payment in full. Otherwise, he will be giving very nice gifts. Dear Annie: This is in reference to “A Concerned Daughter and Mom-to-Be,” whose mother is bipolar and is incapable of keeping herself or her house clean. “Concerned” says the kitchen and bathroom are moldy biohazards. She doesn’t want her baby to spend time there. Please tell her that mold can cause or exacerbate serious health issues, both physical and mental. The daughter mentioned the mother has a “sour smell” about her. This indicates a possible yeast overgrowth in her body. The daughter is absolutely right to keep her baby away from this environment. The mother also needs to be removed from her moldy surroundings. It’s certainly not going to get better on its own. Please tell the daughter. -- John Dear John: Thank you. Mold can cause a great many problems, most commonly allergies, as well as sinus and respiratory problems. Some exposure can cause infections or toxic reactions. And toxic molds, left untreated, can cause fatigue, headaches, immunodeficiencies and other more serious health issues. It is important to keep your homes moisture-free. If you notice mold growing, clean it immediately or have it done professionally. The Environmental Protection Agency has information on mold at epa.gov/mold/moldguide.html. Dear Annie: Here’s more on phone scammers: Beware of those claiming to be from “Windows” or something similar. Windows is a product, not a company. The scammers will get control of your hard drive and install a virus. Then they will con you into giving them a credit card number to install an antivirus. Your computer will be wrecked. The bottom line is: Don’t ever give access to your computer or credit card numbers over the phone unless you initiated the call. -- John Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
