RAILS 2 TRAILS AGM

Beat 43 on Tuesday C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Rails 2 Trails is a shared amenity between Kimberley, Cranbrook and the RDEK which is extremely well-used. And with the number of people who cycle, run, walk and roller blade on the trail, R2T Society President Rob McIntyre is hopeful he will see a good turn out at the Annual General Meeting this Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m. the Heritage Inn, Cranbrook. “We had a great group at the AGM in Kimberley last year,” McIntyre said. “43 people came out and we thought that was fantastic. We’re hoping to get more than that on Tues-

day. We’d like to beat 43 this year.” A volunteer board of directors from the Kimberley / Cranbrook / Wycliffe area manages the NorthStar Rails 2 Trails. The board’s mandate covers three areas of trail management: seasonal maintenance, grant/operational fund sourcing and trail promotion. The board works closely with cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley and the Regional District of East Kootenay to tackle large-scale and long-term trail repairs. If you’d like to have some say in trail management or just give a little back if you enjoy using Rails2Trails, attend the AGM on Tuesday. CAROLYN GRANT PHOTO

Two arrested in Cranbrook arson RCMP

Two subjects are facing arson charges after major fire in February. Cranbrook Fire Services along with RCMP and BC Ambulance responded to a structure fire on February 27, 2015 at 6:32am in the 1400 Block of 30th Ave N. Cranbrook. The complainant heard a loud explosion and saw that the vehicles in the driveway were on fire and was spreading to the house. All occupants of the home were able to escape the fire by jumping off the rear balcony to the home. The home, all its contents and three

vehicles were destroyed in the fire and damage is estimated to be around $800,000. After an extensive investigation by the Cranbrook GIS Section with the assistance of the Forensic Identification and Cranbrook General Duty members, two males were identified as suspects in the arson. Drew Austin WATERS, age 19, and Jordan David NORMOYLE, age 22, have both had their first appearances in court and have both been charged with two counts each of Arson Damaging Property. Their next court appearance is set for June 8, 2015 in Cranbrook.

The Sullivan Mine Commemorative sculpture, recently installed in front of the Kimberley Public Library, was dedicated on Saturday. Above, artists Tony and Twila Austin speak at the dedication ceremony.

Local huntress following in Nikita Dalke’s footsteps

Hunting is about getting back to a primal feeling and understanding who you are as a person, competitor says TREVOR CRAWLEY

Following the experience of Nikita Dalke in last year’s Extreme Huntress competition, another local huntress is aiming for a spot in the reality TV show. Jodi Schmideder, a Cranbrook woman, completed the entry process online and is in the top-20 finalists. From here, she needs to garner votes and support online, while entrants are also judged on the merit of their application. Online votes make up 40 per cent of the consideration, while judges evaluate social media presence, network-

ing and their 500-word essays for the other 60 per cent. In her essay she submitted to the Extreme Huntress judges, she wrote that hunting has been in her family since she was a little girl. “I live a lifestyle that depends on hunting: I do not hunt for trophy, nor respect; I hunt because it’s who I am, and it’s in my blood,” Schmideder said. “I enjoy eating fresh organic meat and I come from a long line of hunters and gathers and I plan to continue my family’s heritage. “I want to prove not only to women, but to anyone that wants to get into the sport, that hunting is not just about the kill, it’s about coming back to a primal feeling and understanding who you are as a person.” PHOTO SUBMITTED Schmideder insists that being a hunter Jodi Schmideder is the next woman from isn’t just about the sporting aspect of it. this area to tackle Extreme Huntress.

It seems the reputation for a hungry and appreciative crowd has circulated the Province of BC causing a bounty of food vendors to sign up for the Taste of Cranbrook Food Court at the Central Fairgrounds of this year’s Sam Steele Days Community Festival. “The Taste of Cranbrook event is now 11 years old and we have been popular from the beginning, each year becoming more exciting,” declares Sam Steele Society Director and entrepreneur Corinne Friesen. “Once again many favorite food vendors and area restaurateurs will be out in full force showing off their latest yummy delights.” A diverse culinary expo will take place represented by 17 East Kootenay sustenance specialists and joined by another four unique vendors from Winlaw, Nelson, Cherryville and Castlegar. Never will there be a greater opportunity in Cranbrook to sample a wider array of tantalizing tasties in one location.

Seeing our children enjoy Sam Steele Days just like we did when we were kids is a pretty special feeling and having our company involved only adds to that.” The Sam Steele Society Director will pass the torch following this year’s event.

At their February 7, 2015, concert, the Symphony of the Kootenays conducted a survey of both audience members and orchestra musicians as to their spending habits associated with symphony concert events. The results may surprise a lot of people. Symphony of the Kootenays concerts generate significant economic benefits to the Cranbrook economy. The survey showed that combined per concert spending is over $20,000 by both audience members and musicians. The 95% range of error on this estimate is between $18,200 and $29,900. Spread over a four-concert Symphony season, spending associated with Symphony of the Kootenays concerts is estimated at over $90,000 (range: $72,936 to $119,720). The money is spent primarily on dining, drinks, retail shopping and accommodations. “These survey results show that the economic benefit of performing arts events, in this case a professional symphony orchestra that regularly performs here in Cranbrook, goes well beyond the price of admission,” says Symphony of the Kootenays President, Ian Adams. Surveys were made available to each of the 512 people attending the concert at Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, BC. The concert, entitled A Night at the Movies, featured the music of film composer John Williams from blockbuster movies including Jaws, E.T. The Extra-terrestrial and the original Star Wars series. A total of 51 surveys were returned from the audience, representing 133 people (26%) attending the concert. That the results were very positive perhaps should not have been a surprise – after all, Hollywood loves a good ending. A similar survey was provided to musicians. “Our musicians are really making an impact. For many of them, Symphony of the Kootenays concert weekends are an opportunity to meet with friends and colleagues and play some great music,” says Adams. “This is a unique orchestra. We have no full time musicians and most do not reside in Cranbrook. Many stay in hotels, they are dining out and shopping during their weekend stay in Cranbrook.” Total per concert spending is almost evenly split between the audience and its musicians.Over half of the audience survey returns (30 of the 51 responses) indicated that they spend an average of $39.20 per person on other hospitality services (dining, drinks, etc.) before or after each concert. Musicians spend an average of $121 per person during their stay in Cranbrook. Estimates in the report are supported by statistical ranges

that are accurate 19 times out 20. The report is attached to this press release. Both audience members (17.6%) and, especially, out-of-town musicians (78.1%) indicated that they shop while in Cranbrook for Symphony concert events, spending an average of $29 and $74 per person, respectively. Most audience members who live more than an hour’s drive from Cranbrook typically overnight here following the concerts. While many musicians are placed with billets and some audience members stay with friends, a large proportion rent hotel rooms. These results clearly show that Symphony of the Kootenays does more than enrich the lives of thousands of Kootenay area residents through varied and wonderful music. Our survey demonstrates that symphony concerts also provide a significant economic benefit to Cranbrook’s hospitality sector as well as retail and other businesses. “This spending shows that many people attending Symphony of the Kootenays concerts like to make an evening or weekend of the event. This benefits many businesses in town,” notes Adams. “Even conservative estimates indicate that we’re leveraging well over 50 per cent of our annual budget in spin-off sales here in Cranbrook. We think that speaks volumes for the value of arts and culture to this town.” About the Symphony of the Kootenays: Cranbrook is among the smallest municipalities in Canada to support a professional symphony orchestra. Symphony of the Kootenays (SOTK) was formed in 1975 as the Kootenay Chamber Orchestra. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary season in 2015-16. That is a major achievement. Symphony of the Kootenays has among the lowest public funding percentages in the country, averaging around one third of its revenue from public sources from grants. Just over 50 per cent of the Symphony’s musicians live in the Kootenays, while the remainder travel from southern Alberta, primarily Calgary and Lethbridge. The first time the symphony rehearses a program as an orchestra is the day before the performance. Musicians are in Cranbrook from Friday through Sunday and spend money on food, entertainment, lodging and retail shopping. The Symphony of the Kootenays next performance will take place July 4, at the Kimberley Alpine Resort. Tickets for “Symphony on the Mountain,” are available at Centre 64, in Kimberley, Lotus Books, in Cranbrook or online at www.symphonyonthemountain.com.

Community Directed Youth Funds working in Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Youth in Kimberley are heading into the third year of being able to access Community Directed Youth Funds — $25,000 per year from the Columbia Basin Trust earmarked specifically for youth activities in Kimberley. Last week being Youth Week, Lori Joe, who has been working with Kimberley youth since the funding became available, thought it was important to let the community know what has been happening. Turns out, quite a lot. The Youth Steering Committee drives the use of the funds, providing feedback to the Oversight Committee. The Oversight Committee created the Community Value Added Grants which allow groups and clubs to apply for funding to enhance new and/or exiting programming that would promote youth engagement for Kimberley youth. “Many youth service groups are doing a great job engaging youth in the community and sometimes they just need some extra funds,” Joe said. “We are proud to see some new clubs being created with these funds.” One of those clubs is the Art Music People Project (AMP). The club was born from the Youth Talent Night held last June (another talent night is being organized for this June 5 at Centre 64). Some of the kids had such a great time performing that they have now organized once a month open mic nights at the Bean Tree in Kimberley. “The kids wanted to have these nights at a public space where they felt part of the community,” Joe said. “The great thing is, it’s mostly kids who attend. They are excited to have a place to go. It’s a place they have been craving and haven’t had. There is not much for kids to do

after 4 p.m. in Kimberley. There’s not even a theatre any more.” Another perk of having the gatherings in the Platzl, Joe says, is that it allows the community to see teenagers in a different light, being productive and contributing to arts and culture. “There are lots of talented kids in Kimberley who are just sitting in their bedrooms. The open mike nights offer them a venue.” An added bonus to that has been the music nights bringing together students from the international program with local students. “This music piece has really integrated the two,” Joe said. “They are often very separate. This has allowed them to get to know each other, just listening to music and having coffee.” The Youth Steering Committee meets once a month at the Snow Drift Cafe. “This is where they get to share their ideas,” Joe said. Those ideas are all centered on how to engage more youth. “We are mindful that not everyone is an athlete or an artist. That’s why we have the theme movie nights. There’s always a theme but it’s open to all youth. Ultimately youth love movies. “Youth are driving this money and are involved in all aspects of decision making. They seem really proud of what’s going on,” Joe said.

FUNDS ALREADY GRANTED The CDYF Oversight Committee recognizes the essential work so many local youth clubs and service groups are doing in and around Kimberley for our local YOUTH. The following are local youth groups who have benefitted from this funding 1. Fly Tying Club (Selkirk High School) 2. Cooking Club (funds created a new after school cooking club for teens at Selkirk High School) 3. SD6 Alternate School (funds to subsidise 1st Aid and Serving It Right courses) 4. Kootenay Skate (funds to buy equipment to teach youth proper safe practices of the sport of skateboarding) 5. Kimberley Gymnastics Club (hire local young artists to create a large painting outside gymnastics building) 6. Kimberley Speed Skating (equipment to encourage more youth to join club) 7. SPARK Youth Centre (TV) 8. Kimberley School of Archery (equipment replacement and repair) 9. Girl guides/Pathfinders (funds to purchase tents for wilderness leadership camp outs) 10. Greenwave (canoe workshop for youth) 11. Kimberley Arts Council (funds used to offer a rusticated art exhibit for local youth) 12. Selkirk After school Art Club (art supplies for volunteer art mentor to offer free art classes after school) 13. McKim Baseball Club (funds have supported the creation of a new club for youth in McKim Middle School) 14. McKim Photography Club (funds have supported the creation of a new art club in the middle school focussing on the medium of photography) 15. A.M.P Art, Music, People club (newly formed with the funds to promote and encourage a growing group of local youth that have been showcasing their talents at local Open Mic-Coffee House Nights at local cafes around town) Applications are available two times a year and are made available for pickup and return at City Hall. For more information call Lori Joe 250-427-4200 A grant Committee that is made up of senior members and one to two youth review and determine which applications meet the outlined requirements for funding.

The Youth Steering Committee meets once a month at the Snow Drift.

Thanks to community support for the Burn Fund calendar, $3,840 was raised for the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, which will go directly towards the construction of a new $13.1 million facility that is currently being built in Vancouver. Pictured above, left to right: Lars Noack, Rocky Mountain Print Solutions, Karen Johnston, Cranbrook Daily Townsman and Murray Robertson, with the Cranbrook Fire Department.

To the bear ‘hunters’ who killed a mother bear near McGinty Lake last Thursday night: The so-called bear ‘hunt’, where an animal is chased up a tree by hounds, then shot by hunters below, is hard to understand for many of us, especially during the spring months, when young cubs are with the sows. When the chase is on, sows chase the cubs up a tree to safety, and often are driven by the hounds away from the cubs. One such ‘hunt’ occurred near Dry Lake and McGinty Lake in Meadowbrook last Wednesday night. The baying of hounds crashing through the bush, the roaring of trucks following, and then four shots, followed by four more. Obviously many of the shots fired into the air missed, and the bullets went … where? The final shot was followed by the hoots and hollers of excited males, obviously proud that they were able to hit a stationary animal cornered in a tree. The result: as of Saturday night, one of the sow’s orphaned cubs was still huddled in a tree on private property near where the hound chase began, and another cub has disappeared into the gulley between Dry Lake and Mcginty. Conservation Officers are trying to lure the cub down from the tree to traps, so it can be used to lure its sibling, and perhaps both of them can be saved at a wildlife rehabilitation centre. Bear hunters: please consider not hunting in the spring. If you feel the need to do this, please take the time to ensure you are not killing sows, as the cubs are likely not with them after a long hound chase.

Wildlife managers, please consider halting this barbaric hunt again, as it was in the early 2000’s. Filling the freezer is one thing. Orphaning cubs for a trophy is something else. Dave Quinn Kimberley

Omar Khadr

When is a murder not a murder? I have a problem understanding why Stevey Harper and the US Military have such a hate on for Omar Khadr. Khadr was 15 when his dastardly deed led to his incarceration and subsequent inprisonment at Guantunamo Bay. Child soldiers are supposed to be treated differently than adults, an agreement that Canada signed on too. Khadr qualified for protection under the conditions of that agreement. Would Harper say “let the dogs have at him” if the situation was reversed and it was a 15-year-old Canadian soldier that had tossed the grenade, killing a Taliban soldier and then held in prison and tried as a war criminal. I find it unlikely, although Harper’s track record in helping Canadians out of country suggests it a toss up whether he get his fingers dirty or not. Khadr’s trial and conviction was at the hands of a US Military court, not a civilian trial and at the very least, from all accounts, heavily biased towards a finding of “guilty” from day one of the hearings. The Canadian courts have ruled that Khadr should be freed from incarceration and we now see Harper and his minions having hissy fits that the courts saying

Where is the justification for Cranbrook’s involvement in this entire project located miles from town? Surely there is far greater reason and justification for spending within the city itself. As a taxpayer I never have or will condone the dubious spending of money beyond city boundaries nor am I likely to. There are far worthier projects deserving taxpayer monies within our fair city.

enough is enough. Khadr has served 15 years for his “crime”, which he said he pled guilty to in order to get out of the continued mistreatment he endured in Guantanamo, a plea which he is apparently going to court to have withdrawn on the basis that it was made under duress. Part of being a soldier, regardless of country, is signing up knowing they may die in action, what they don’t sign up for is being brought to trial for murder if they are captured by the enemy. The US Military and Mr. Harper may have set a president that has put our servicemen and women in harms way! I wish to make clear that I am not writing in support or non support of Mr. Khadr, however I would appreciate your readers to consider my question, “when is a murder not a murder”? Don Ohs Cranbrook

When things freeze over like that Hell has officially frozen over. That’s right—the New Democrat Party won a majority government in Tuesday’s provincial election in Alberta. It even snowed the day after polls closed, which makes that joke all the more amusing. I don’t mean that as a partisan dig, but after 44 years of power, the Progressive Conservatives are outside looking in. And not just out, but they’re not even the Official Opposition—the Wildrose Party holds that honour. The PC’s weren’t just defeated. They were crushed. As an interested observer of political affairs across the provincial border, I can’t say I was too invested in the election. The result, however, is very interesting for a number of reasons. Most significantly, the PCs, which have ruled provincial politics since 1971, are relegated to third-party status behind the Wildrose Party. In the same vein of significance, it was the NDP that won a majority government—a party that has never in the history of the province ever ruled in the legislature. With polls giving the NDP a big lead in the days leading up to the election, I was naturally skeptical. I’ve seen what happens when the NDP is given a big lead in polls right before a provincial election. Like B.C.’s recent results, I figured Albertans would break and go back to the devil they knew (relax, it’s just an expression).

You got to feel a bit for Jim Prentice. A federal Conservative MP for six years where he held a few cabinet positions, Prentice resigned in order to dip into provincial politics and bring the PC party back to respectability following the spending scandals of former Alberta premier Alison Redford. Right around when he took over last year, the global price of oil tanked and the energy industry has been struggling ever since. As a result of the drop in oil prices, Trevor Crawley Prentice predicted a $7 billion revenue shortfall in this year’s budget. While that may have rubbed Alberta voters the wrong way, there was also the scandal—if that’s the appropriate term—of Wildrose leader Danielle Smith abandoning her party and crossing the floor to join the PCs. If voters were bitter over the Redford scandal and leery about trusting the Wildrose Party, which party did that leave? I’m not necessarily suggesting that the NDP won because the other parties dropped the ball; the NDP obviously ran a good campaign and Premier-designate Rachel Notley has good name-recognition due to her father Grant Notley, who led the provincial NDP party from 1968-1984. What’s interesting about the NDP result is that it’s been a long time coming to the pendulum shift. Let me explain. In B.C. the NDP were elected in 1991 and ruled for just over nine years. At the

end of that, the pendulum shifted, and the B.C. Liberals won a landslide in 2001. After 13 years of Liberal governments, It seemed like that pendulum was about to shift again in 2013, but the polls leading up to the election proved to be—shall we say—an incorrect barometer of public opinion. Even at the federal level; Brian Mulroney and the Conservatives ruled in the 1980s, the pendulum shifted in the 1990s and the Liberals formed government, then the pendulum shifted again in 2006 when the Conservatives got back in. What makes the recent result in Alberta so historic, is that the PCs ruled for 44 years and obviously survived those pendulum shifts. Until now. Moving forward, two things will be of interest to political observers. The first is obviously how the NDP fares with a majority government, how they run the province and what their priorities are. The second will be to see how the PCs recover, especially now that they’re leaderless, as Prentice fell on his sword and immediately resigned following Tuesday’s results. In the context of federal politics, it’ll also be interesting to see if the NDP wave in Alberta translates into federal NDP support when Stephen Harper calls an election widely expected for the fall. Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, that orange glow you see from the east is a new dawn for Alberta politics. Trevor Crawley is a reporter with the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Alberta bound Saretsky signs with AJHL’s Canmore Eagles

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It didn’t take long for folks around the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League to notice Braden Saretsky after he arrived in Kimberley following a trade with the Summerland Steam. Apparently hockey minds outside the KIJHL were watching intently as well. Friday, the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) announced Saretsky had signed with the team. “I’ve wanted to play Junior ‘A’ hockey my whole life and I’m very excited about the opportunity to play in the AJHL,” Saretsky said in an Eagles press release. “My coach, Jerry Bancks, told me to go play for a team that likes you, and Andrew Milne showed some real commitment

to me, so that’s where I’m going to play. I’ve visited Canmore as a kid and really liked what I saw. I can’t wait to get there and start the season.”

During the 2014-15 KIJHL campaign, Saretsky blossomed with the Dynamiters. Acquired from the Steam in exchange for forward Tyson Klingspohn Nov. 29, Saretsky put forth 14 goals and 41 points in 25 games with the Nitros. In all, the 19-year-old West Kelowna native rattled off 19 goals and 54 points in 44 games this past season. “I’m very happy for [Braden] that the Can-

more Eagles will give him an opportunity to play Junior ‘A’ hockey and potentially earn a U.S. scholarship,” Bancks said in an Eagles press release. While his regular-season numbers were great, it was Saretsky’s biggame ability in the playoffs that solidified the fact he would be fielding calls from Junior ‘A’ clubs in western Canada upon completing the season in Kimberley. The 5-foot-11 forward showed his versatility, producing from both the wing and the centre position, tallying 18 goals and 29 points in 22 KIJHL playoff games. Those totals were good enough to lead the Nitros in playoff scoring as the team went on to claim Kimberley’s first KIJHL title since the Kimberley Knights won it all in 1980. If not for the out-

At the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup in Mission, Saretsky added one goal and three points in four

Uphill battle in Kelowna Brandon Wheat Kings trail Rockets in WHL championship series

Rob Henderson Brandon Sun

Playing the Kelowna Rockets at any time is an uphill battle. Heading to B.C., trailing the Rockets 2-0 in the best-of-seven Western Hockey League championship series, the Brandon Wheat Kings are facing a mountain. Nick Merkley’s short-handed goal midway through the third period broke a tie and sent the Rockets on their way to a 5-3 victory over the Wheat Kings in Game 2 of the Ed Chynoweth Cup final on Friday at Westman Place. The goal was Merkley’s second of the game and came less than four minutes after the Wheat Kings rallied from two goals down to knot the score at 3-3 on a pair of Peter Quenneville markers. In both games, Brandon has scored first, fallen behind 3-1, rebounded to tie the score and then given up the winning goal. “It is frustrating,” said Quenneville, the Wheat

Kings’ captain. “I think we’ve struggled in the first two games to create a gap in the score for us. Scoring that first goal early again like we did and failing to get the next one or even another one after that, and then giving up that goal bangbang in a situation where we’ve kind of got the momentum back and we’re believing that we can come back and win this game. Unfortunately, it kind of takes the wind out of your sail when you give up those goals.” Merkley had a threepoint night, also assisting on Leon Draisaitl’s empty-netter. Rourke Chartier and Gage Quinney also scored for Kelowna, which hosts Game 3 on Monday. Tim McGauley opened the scoring for Brandon only 1:20 into the game, scoring on a Jayce Hawryluk pass only seconds after fanning on his winger’s first setup attempt. Chartier tied the game with a quick shot from the slot off a feed from Draisaitl, then Dillon Dube found

Merkley in front for the go-ahead goal. Quinney struck 27 seconds into the second period before the Wheat Kings began to rally. They fired 19 shots in the middle frame, but Kelowna goalie Jackson Whistle stood tall on his way to a 38-stop night, including a big glove

save to deny McGauley on an odd-man rush. Quenneville tied the game in the third with goals less than four minutes apart, scoring an even-strength goal on a one-timer, then adding his eighth power-play goal on the playoffs, scooping up a loose puck after Morgan Klimchuk’s shot hit a skate. With another power play, the Wheat Kings were charging hard. Hawryluk’s shot on a 2-on-1 was deflected by Whistle and the game

took another turn as the play was reversed, with Merkley slipping past the pressing Brandon ‘D’ and deking out Wheat Kings goalie Jordan Papirny, who finished with 26 saves. “It was pretty exciting to see Nick score,” Whistle said at the post-game media conference. “When they scored their third goal, you’re just trying to stay calm. You kind of forget about the goal and look forward to the next shot, keep the next shot out and keep hitting it back.” The Rockets are scheduled to host the next three games, if the series goes that far, and Wheat Kings head coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon wants to see a continuation of the progress he saw on Saturday. “I think we were better in Game 2 than we were in Game 1,” he said. “We’ve got to stay on that path. That’s playoff hockey, the games are going to be close. You need to get on the right side of it. I don’t think it’s

going to matter where the games are played, but certainly we’ve got to get the result in Game 3 on Monday.” McGauley, knows the odds are stacked against his team right now, but he said the players need to keep their spirits high. “It’s tough. We’re in a bit of a hole right now but it’s been done before,” he said. “Teams have been down two games to none and come back to win championships, so we know we can’t hang our heads, can’t be negative or anything like that. We’ve got to make sure we bounce back strong and that’s what we’ll do.” ONE-TIMERS: Attendance matched Game 1, with a full house of 5,502 … Both teams dressed the same lineup as Game 1, with the Wheat Kings scratching C/RW Reid Duke, D Kale Clague, LW Quintin Lisoway, C/RW Stelio Mattheos, D/LW Mark Matsuba and D Mark Taraschuk … Rockets scratches included LW Tyrell Goulbourne.

thrilled that he is coming to join the Eagles. “Jerry [Bancks] runs a very good hockey program down in Kimberley, so I’m confident that Braden can successfully make the jump to Junior ‘A’ hockey.” The Eagles finished

the 2014-15 season sixth in the AJHL’s Viterra South Division with a record of 27-31-2. Having the goal-scoring prowess of Saretsky should only help to improve the Eagles chances in the competitive AJHL South.

Blue Jays fall to Red Sox Gregory Strong Canadian Press

TORONTO - Mike Napoli and Pablo Sandoval homered as the Boston Red Sox defeated Toronto 6-3 on Sunday at Rogers Centre to end the Blue Jays’ threegame winning streak. Napoli hit a threerun shot in Boston’s four-run first inning and Sandoval added a tworun blast in the fifth off Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey. Chris Colabello had three hits for Toronto, which fell back to the .500 mark with the loss. Clay Buchholz worked 6 1/3 innings for the Red Sox (14-17), who picked up their second win in nine games. Koji Uehara pitched the ninth inning for his sixth save. Dickey’s knuckleball had little movement in the early going and the Red Sox took advantage. Mookie Betts led off the game with a triple and scored on a Dustin Pedroia groundout. Hanley Ramirez and Sandoval reached later in the inning before Napoli turned on a 1-1 pitch for his third homer of the year. Buchholz (2-4) also started off slowly but the

Blue Jays couldn’t inflict any damage. He walked three batters in the opening frame before escaping when Kevin Pillar hit into a forceout. Toronto (16-16) scratched out a run in the fourth inning. Edwin Encarnacion reached on a single, moved to second on a Pillar groundout and scored when Colabello lifted a single into centre field. Buchholz appeared to be in some discomfort after closing out the frame. Red Sox manager John Farrell and a team trainer came to the mound during his warmup pitches in the fifth and the right-hander stayed in the game. Devon Travis lashed a two-out double in the inning and scored when Josh Donaldson hit a double. Jose Bautista grounded out to leave Donaldson stranded. Dickey (1-4) allowed six earned runs, seven hits and three walks over six innings. Reliever Ryan Tepera made his major-league debut in the seventh and worked a 1-2-3 frame capped by a brilliant Donaldson pickup of a Ramirez hot shot to the left side.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t lose your focus. You can accomplish a tremendous amount if you just keep your attention on the matter at hand. Use care with a neighbor or sibling, as misunderstandings could start up from out of the blue. Tonight: Take some much needed personal time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others seem to be asking a lot of you. For some reason, you’ll feel obligated to meet each request or challenge. Slow down and look at what you really want to do. You could be overwhelmed by others. A late afternoon meeting will be significant. Tonight: Hang with a pal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to see the big picture. How you handle a situation could change after some detachment. You’ll gain new information through new insights. Observe a tendency to get frustrated when others don’t seem to get your message. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Relate to one person directly, and make sure that your message is properly conveyed. Not everyone attaches the same symbolism to a word. Reiterating a statement several different ways likely will add power to your words. Tonight: Respond to an odd but interesting idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be concerned about an associate or a special loved one. Much information suddenly could come forward. A friend will want things to go his or her way, which is likely to put your friendship at risk. Exhaustion surrounds you. Tonight: Nap first; decide later. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try another approach or do something very differently from how you have done it in the recent past. A boss could start becoming more argumentative and difficult. You might want to distance yourself, as this person needs to work through a personal issue. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more in touch with

Tundra

a problem than you are aware. You can make light of it, but ultimately you will need to deal with the issue at hand. A conversation with a dear friend will give you another perspective to work with. Tonight: Make sure to get enough exercise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home. In fact, if you can work from home, you could be much more content and happier. An associate might be challenging you a little too much for your taste. Work with the person’s ideas rather than negate them. The results will be better. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to notice someone get quite hostile or angry in a situation, whether it happens now or in the next few weeks. A person who reacts that strongly probably feels insecure or judged. It would be wise to give him or her some space for now. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be taken aback by a situation that surrounds your finances. Communication will

be necessary once you decide which way to go. Others seem to be somewhat combative in your daily life. Find out why. Tonight: You don’t need to go far to have a deep conversation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be ready to head in a new direction. An issue could arise that you and your associates don’t agree on. You probably will have to stall some in order to maintain a cohesive bond. Be gracious. It is better to move ahead with support. Tonight: Clear out some shopping. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Play it low-key throughout the day. You will note an intense, busy pace in the morning that could become frantic by midday. A problem with a family member is likely to flare up. Someone close to you could decide to put on war paint. Tonight: You feel better and better.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and apparently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She married someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce because of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them. My wife died a year ago. A few months later, Hazel contacted me. We hit it off right away. She lives three hours away, so we take turns visiting every two weeks. We get along very well, except when the subject of Larry comes up. Hazel says her relationship with him is over now that I’m in the picture, but I discovered that he had stopped by again with a gift. She said she didn’t let him in the door. The other day, she slipped and called me “Larry.” She apologized, but you can imagine how that made me feel. I’m starting to believe I’m her rebound guy. I think she is crazy about Larry and if his wife should die, she’d be at his door in a heartbeat. Is it possible for Larry and Hazel to be such good friends without something more going on? He even told her about his erectile dysfunction, but I worry that may have come from first-hand knowledge. Hazel says she loves me and has for years, but the “green-eyed monster” has taken over my heart, and I don’t know how to get rid of these jealous feelings. -- Very Confused Dear Confused: Your jealousy is not completely unfounded. Hazel rejected Larry not because she dislikes him, but because he is married. If that obstacle didn’t exist, there is indeed the possibility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he seems to be quite interested in her. Their relationship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that is why you react so negatively toward him. You are not the rebound guy. You’re the backup. Hazel needs to tell Larry to pay more attention to his wife -- no more gifts, no more surprise visits, no more intimate confidences, and the friendship must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to him is stronger than it should be. Either give her time to see whether she becomes more connected to you, or let her go. Dear Annie: “Like Pregnant Not Fat,” I am amazed at how rude people can be to pregnant women. I am pregnant with my second child and have been asked, “Was this pregnancy planned?” It is such a personal and nosy question, it stuns me. Any suggestions on how to respond? -- Expecting Mom in the Midwest Dear Expecting: The default response to nosy, intrusive questions is, “Why do you need to know?” But if any of our readers has a better one, we’ll be happy to print it.

Canfor Canal Flats mill employees finally had some positive news, even as mass layoffs finally took effect earlier this week. The layoffs, which were first announced in February, came into effect on Monday, May 4th, but the week prior, mill employee Daniel Bybee — who had expressed critical opinions of how the company was handling the situation in previous Pioneer stories — had some positive feedback on Thursday, April 30th. “It’s a way brighter picture than it was,” said Mr. Bybee. “There’s some good things.” Chiefly among these positive developments is that Canfor and Local 1-405 of the United Steelworkers District 3 union (which represents the mill workers) have agreed to early retirement packages for 15 workers who have more than 30 years of service at the mill. “That opens up 15 jobs for other people to stay,” said Mr. Bybee, adding he’s also heard that 10 Canal Flats mill workers have been accept-

ed to transfer to positions in Canfor’s Radium Hot Springs mill, allowing them to stay in the valley. Mr. Bybee added that the mill workers had recently been given a crew list, and it will be down to 100th on the seniority list before people will be getting laid off. “It looks like almost all the tradespeople will have jobs and there are six people on the call-out list. It’s good,” he said. “Some of the younger employees (who will be laid off ) are going back to school for trades, such as heavy duty mechanic or electrician.” Others getting laid off, including Mr. Bybee, have been doing interviews at another pulp mill. In the meantime, the company held a barbecue to thank the workers on Thursday, April 30th. “It’s nice for them to recognize it’s been a stressful time and that we need to say goodbye,” said Mr. Bybee. The layoffs will eliminate an entire shift at the Canal Flats mill. Prior to the layoff, there were two shifts.
