No tax increase in 2016? C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Chamber provides update on activities Lots on the agenda for Kimberley Chamber C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley Chamber of Commerce Manager Mike Guarnery paid a visit to the City Council on Monday evening to provide an update on what the Chamber has been up to and what is coming up on the horizon. With the chamber fee for service contract with the City now signed, the Chamber’s new emphasis on business advocacy is continuing. The Chamber has been working with local restaurateurs on the Kimberley Restaurant Coalition. “We have identified the best methods to move forward with the coalition,” Guarnery said. “A group is meeting under the structure of the Chamber. It’s
generally restaurant owners with the Chamber infrastructure.” One of the most pressing needs, according Guarnery, was another food safe course being offered in Kimberley, both for current staff and future hires. Guarnery says the Downtown Business Association was pleased to see the Platzl walkway being taken down. The DBA has also met with the First Saturdays group to discuss this summer’s program, which begins in July. “With a shorter season, the First Saturday group, which is the Arts Council, want to get business on board,” he said. “First Saturday is looking for business donations and involvement in their fundraising silent auction in July.”
Last week, JCI sponsored a live broadcast of Leadercast at the Kimberley Conference Centre. Guarnery said that about 300 people attended. “Generally I feel like you can only talk so much about leadership, but it was really insightful,” he said. “We had people from all over the region. It really highlighted the conference centre.” This coming September, the Kimberley Conference Centre will be hosting BC Community Futures conference. Guarnery says the Chamber is focusing on making sure that attendees have an opportunity to experience all that Kimberley has to offer, from golfing to train rides to shopping, dining and more. “We are making sure people will have time to do something in Kimberley, to have an opportunity to experience Kimberley.” Guarnery also said that the
Chamber is pursuing regional economic development, meeting with the regional committee. The BC Chamber meeting in Prince George is also upcoming and Guarnery says the Kimberley Chamber team will be attending to lobby for their positions. Chambers don’t always agree with what the provincial Chamber may be planning, and one particular position is troubling to Kimberley. Guarnery says that the provincial chamber is advocating to have the BC and Alberta Family Days lined up to be on the same weekend. “We are not in agreement on that,” he said. In fact, the BC ski industry in general was instrumental in having the holidays on separate weekends.
Read his lips. Mayor Don McCormick made a bold statement at Kimberley City Council Monday evening, saying that the goal for next year has to be no increase in property taxes. Taxes were under discussion as Council adopted the slate of bylaws that put the 2015 financial plan into action. Council adopted the Financial Plan Bylaw, the Tax Rates Bylaw, the Flat Tax Bylaw, the Parcel Tax Bylaw and the Reserve Expenditures Bylaw. The Flat Tax Bylaw drew some comment as
two councillors, Bev Middlebrook and Darryl Oakley, indicated that they were very interested in its elimination. Coun. Kent Goodwin has also stated in the past that he’d like to see it go. Kimberley is one of the few communities in B.C. that still has a flat tax, Oakley said, and some that do, such as Powell River, are phasing it out. “I look forward to a discussion around the flat tax next year,” he said. “We need to find a way to eliminate it and reduce impact on smaller homes.” See TAX, page 3
SAR rescue injured hiker on Fisher Peak TRE VOR CR AWLEY
A pair of hikers were rescued off of Fisher Peak this past weekend by Cranbrook Search and Rescue after required an airlift due to a leg injury. The pair were hiking up Maus Creek on Saturday and decided to head up the Fisher Peak trail until the snow got too heavy. After one of the hikers stepped into the snow, it gave way and his leg was cut open by a rock underneath. Search and Rescue See CHAMBER, page 4 deployed at roughly 6:20
p.m. to a call for an injured hiker and were able to locate the pair, but didn’t have enough time to get them off the mountain by nightfall. “The hiker had a fall and injured his leg and we put a team together and hiked in,” said Greg Bedwell, with Cranbrook SAR. “We located him, got him all settled, it was getting too dark, quite steep terrain and we didn’t want to get caught on the side of the mountain in the dark.

Goal is no tax increase for 2016, Mayor says
Photo submitted
A group photo of the volunteers who helped make the Family Fun Derby at Fort Steele a success. The event raised more than $7,700 to help support children and families with cancer.
From Page 1 “I will support it this year, but we need a good discussion next year,” Middlebrook said. “I will be bold,” McCormick said. “The goal next year needs to be a zero per cent increase in property taxes (the mill rate) so we can take these actions.” Kimberley does break utility costs out of the mill rate as well, and those will rise in each of the next several years to deal with infrastructure
deficit. The flat tax is $786 for a residential property with improvements and $310 for a residential property without improvements. The Aquatic Centre parcel tax is increased to $152 in 2015. The 2015 Financial Plan calls for a 3% increase on Residential Class taxes, and a 2% increase on Light Industrial, Business and Other and Recreation Class taxes.

Derby raises $7,767 for kids with cancer Family event raises funds for families Jenny Byford
JCI Kootenay (Junior Chamber International), Fort Steele Heritage Town and Family Fishing Derby sponsors are being thanked for a successful Family Fun Derby at Fort Steele after unseasonably warm weather spoiled plans for the traditional ice fishing event at Horseshoe Lake. In place of the Family Fishing Derby, JCI Kootenay and Fort Steele Heritage Town teamed up earlier this March to host an active, outdoor event for children and families across the Kootenays. The Fun Derby kept participants entertained with a host of games and contests including children’s mystery catch, bean bag toss, sack race, arts and crafts, tug-o-war, three legged races, wagon rides and a scavenger hunt. The Wildhorse Theatre also featured two showings of the popular animated movie Penguins of Madagas-

Fly Casting & 50-50 Winner Rick Hedrick car. For the adults, there was an adult fly casting competition, silent auction, door prizes and 50/50 draw. Hot coffee, hot chocolate and chilli were generously provided by Cranbrook Tim Hortons. In addition to fundraising over $7,700, local sponsors made some dreams come true for local children. Dean and Tracey Uphill of Dacota Freight sponsored a trip to Disneyland for Elkford cancer survivor Evan
Payne-Smuin and his family; this is a legacy Dean and Tracey have generously continued every year the Derby has been held. Sunshine Houseboats Ltd. sponsored a houseboat vacation for cancer survivor Austin Fahselt from Jaffray. The winners of the children’s mystery catch included: Tayton Robison, Ronan Hong, Jack Dakin, Liam Temple and Dan Lunn. Kimberley’s 6-year-old Tayton Robi-
son won a 55” Plasma TV and 10-year-old Ronan Hong from Cranbrook won the PlayStation system both courtesy of Caliper Machine & Hydraulics. Rick Hedrick was serendipitously the winner of both 50/50 draws and the adult fly casting competition. The annual derby is a fundraiser to support children and families with cancer. Lynnette Wray, Canadian Cancer Society Team Lead for Financial Support Programs expresses her appreciation to all involved: “JCI Kootenay did an amazing job with this event, adjusting to some very challenging circumstances, in terms of the warm weather. It was so generous of Fort Steele to step forward to provide an alternate location; that was an amazing example of our East Kootenay community spirit. The funds raised by JCI Kootenay will be used to assist people with their travel and accommodation expenses to attend cancer treatment, through our Canadian Cancer Society Financial Support Program. The Financial
Support Program is very well used in the Kootenays, due to our distance from major cancer treatment centres in BC, such as Kelowna and Vancouver, as well as Alberta treatment centres in Calgary and Lethbridge.” After an unusually mild winter, many of the Society’s winter-oriented fundraising events were cancelled across the province. Wray notes the Society is especially grateful for the alternative Fun Derby. “On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to JCI Kootenay, Fort Steele, all the businesses and organizations that donated to the event, and everyone who attended. We look forward to an even bigger and better event next year.” With a better winter, the event will return to the ice next year. Special thanks to the Derby’s generous event sponsors who contributed time, services and donations and those who were willing should the original ice derby have proceeded. See Page 4
From Page 1 “So we just made him comfortable, stabilized him and we had a helicopter come in the morning and we longlined him down to the waiting ambulance.” The injured man was removed at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. In total, there were six Cranbrook SAR members and two Kimberley SAR
members who were a part of the operation. SAR were also called out on two other incidents this past weekend to assist with B.C. Ambulance Service. Those two incidents included an ATV rollover at Horseshoe Lake and a medical emergency 15 kilometres up the Wildhorse.

these events, they are still on the calendar. “What we agreed in the new contract is that these events don’t represent the business activity we want to be the focus of the fee for service contract,” Mayor Don McCormick explained. “But these events fall into the category of helping the business community so the Chamber will continue them. “JulyFest is a bit different. That’s always been a Chamber fundraiser and they make quite a bit of money on it. It’s an important part of the business model for the Chamber, but it doesn’t need to be part of the fee for service contract.” Guarnery says that a JulyFest coordinator has been hired and that people should expect the same sort of enthusiasm and events as last year.

First Projects to help fish and wildlife under new plan More than $500,000 in funding announced The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) and Columbia Basin Trust (the Trust) have approved 11 fish and wildlife projects that will help conserve and enhance ecosystems in the upper Kootenay River watershed, including Koocanusa Reservoir. These projects are the first to be funded under the Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhancement Plan, developed jointly by the FWCP and the Trust. Four fish and seven wildlife projects were approved for a total of more than $500,000. “These projects will begin to address long-standing concerns regarding the impacts of Libby Dam and the Koocanusa Reservoir on fish and wildlife,” said Dave White, Public Representative on the F WCP-Columbia Board. “The public identified an important gap and we are really
excited to partner with the Trust to start to fill that gap by implementing the plan that guides conservation efforts in this watershed.” The projects will include a range of activities, from inventory mapping sensitive habitats around Koocanusa Reservoir, to replacing culverts and reconnecting high-value fish habitat in the Gold Creek watershed, to restoring grassland ecosystems near Elko and Wycliffe. Other projects will support amphibians, Westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout; control the spread of invasive plants; and test the feasibility of relocating mule deer from urban areas to areas where their populations are in decline. Projects in the future, under the Plan, may also include incorporating some trans-boundary fish and wildlife work. “We want a mix of on-the-ground projects and information-based projects aimed at improving our understanding of the ecosystems, which will help inform conservation

EKFH funds $4,000 for Weigh Scale for Dialysis Unit
Cranbrook, BC, May 11, 2015… This past week the team at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Renal Dialysis Unit welcomed the addition of a new wheelchair scale compliments of the East Kootenay Foundation for
Health. The patient simply walks, or is wheeled, onto the weight platform and is weighed. The foundation provided $4,000 in funding thanks to generous donations received from EKFH’s annual Starlite Campaign.
In recent weeks, some special children’s events have taken place at Marysville Community Church. During Spring Break there was a Kid’s Zone 5-Day Club, where the children enjoyed games, singing and snacks, while learning about the last week of Jesus’ life, Scripture verses, and about the Missionary Hudson Taylor, founder of China Inland Mission. 19 children registered for Kid’s Zone with an average of 11 attending throughout the week. In Sunday School, the children learned about attitudes for several weeks. Attitudes such as anger/self-control, fear/ faith, selfishness/generosity, pride/humility, complaining/thankfulness, impatience/patience, pouting/ joy, for instance; and how to implement positive attitudes into one’s life. The children did crafts and
learned songs to go along with the positive attitudes theme. On the Sunday before Easter they gave a presentation to a delighted congregation based on their lessons. On Easter Sunday, some adults and children presented the Good Friday story using various objects. This was followed by the children performing a play called “He’s Alive,” depicting Jesus, the Risen Saviour meeting Mary Magdalene, His disciples, and over 500 people before He went to heaven. The children sang a favourite hymn, “He Lives” with the congregation joining them on the chorus. Afterwards, a brief message was presented by Pastor Sorenson, called the “Meaning of Easter”. We all rejoiced as we sang “Crown Him with Many Crowns!” We then enjoyed a lovely potluck luncheon downstairs in our Fellowship Hall.

A brand new cholicky baby There are two vehicles parked in my carport, and they’re both paid for. This is not a boast; it is a statement of fact. One is almost brand new; the other is extremely old, has a cracked windshield, some rust and quite a few battle scars, but I cannot get rid of it because I love it so dearly. The almost new vehicle, a S.U.V., is frightfully modern, with all the bells and whistles you could wish for. In fact, it has far too many for my liking. It is like having a brand new cholicky baby in the house and it is causing me restless nights. It shouldn’t be that way; I am far too old for that sort of nonsense. I should be joyfully revelling in my S.U.V. and barrelling down the highways, my sun-roof ajar, the music blaring from the several speakers. In fact, if one were as old as I am, be just like Toad of Toad Hall in his brand–new motor-car. But it is not generally that way. I would just love to turn a key. Listen to the engine roar into life, wind the window down by hand, put my foot on the clutch and shove the gear into first, then charge off into the wild without a single flashing light and definitely no warning ‘peep’ twittering at me. I just hate to be nagged when I am out
for a drive. I mean I can’t even “bump start” the S.U.V. if I have an incident with a failing battery. It is no use parking facing downhill on a slope just in case. In fact, I can’t park anywhere on a slope because, if I do so, the darn vehicle’s doors won’t lock. To tell the truth, those hand-held key-less locking devices were invented by Peter Satan himself. Like last After delivering some Warland week. friends to their place and seeing them safely inside, I drove home and parked in the carport. I put the beast into park, pulled on the hand-brake, pushed the button to switch off the engine and then stepped out and shut the door. I was ready for bed, but not so the vehicle; it kept twittering like a baby being left alone as I tried to lock up. I closed the door even more firmly and lights flickered like a Christmas tree inside. It’s a waste of time saying “sshh!” to cars so I said several rude words and walked around the beast slamming all five doors decisively. Twitter! I climbed wearily back into the driver’s seat, re-started the motor, checked that I had in fact put the gear-shift into park and lugged on the hand brake then once more switched off the motor. I
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
climbed out carefully, closed the door firmly and again tried the electronic key. Finally, like an exhausted parent, I sneaked away, expecting at any moment an outburst of childish petulance and wondering if I might have to resort to warming a bottle of milk. I know that I am electronically inept except for operating light switches, using the coffee maker and plugging in the vacuum cleaner. After all, it was my 12- year-old grand-daughter who had to install my first computer and wire my work-shed. So I am inclined to panic when I am faced with a new TV or anything else that involves electricity. Thank goodness I no longer need that hair-drier. Years ago, the battery in an old clunky car of mine died up in the mountains near Fernie. Four of us pushed that weighty beast up the slope about a 100 feet and then let friend Bill bump it into action. We drove home in the dark without benefit of head-lights or flashing lights. Right now I am faced with the awful task of plugging in a new keyboard and mouse so I am putting off the awful moment and, leaving that cholicky baby in in the carport, taking a quick drive somewhere, anywhere, in my old clunker. I know that it might break-down at the drop of a hat, but it won’t nag me.

Enjoy the May Long Weekend, Please Don’t Drink & Drive
Aggresive drivers targeted this May long weekend On average, two people are killed and 490 injured in crashes throughout B.C. during the May Long Weekend. In the Southern Interior, an average of 68 people are injured in 260 crashes per year over the Victoria Day long weekend. Many of these collisions can be attributed to high-risk driving behaviours such as failing to yield the right-ofway, speeding, unsafe lane changes, tailgating and ignoring traffic control devises. This May Long Weekend, police in the East Kootenay will be out in force targeting aggressive drivers, “Sgt. Don Erichsen of the East Kootenay Traffic warns, “If you are traveling through
the Kootenay National Park or anywhere along Hwy 3 this weekend, you can count on seeing police officers out enforcing high-risk driving behaviours and tolerance for aggressive behaviour will be extremely low. Our goal is to discourage driving behaviours that increase your risk of crashing and endanger everyone on our roads.”
driving behaviours. Police will kick off their enforcement this weekend with a province-wide blitz on Friday. ICBC tips:
Violators are reminded that running afoul of British Columbia’s aggressive driving law could result in steep fines and/or vehicle impoundments.
• Share the road. Warmer spring weather means you’ll see more motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians on our roads. As drivers, we have a particular responsibility to help keep vulnerable road users safe. Actively watch for them, especially at intersections, and make eye contact whenever possible.
So, whether you’ll be staying local or heading out of town this holiday weekend, the B.C. government, ICBC and police are urging drivers to avoid high-risk
• Leave space. Always maintain a safe traveling distance between vehicles to ensure you have enough time to react to the unexpected and reduce your risk
of being rear-ended. Allow at least two seconds of following distance in good conditions, and at least three seconds on highspeed roads or if you’re behind a motorcycle since they have a much shorter stopping distance.
trip, check the road and weather conditions for your entire trip at drivebc.ca before you head out. Even if the roads look clear, slow down to reduce your risk of crashing and be realistic about travel times as our highways will be busier than usual.
• Safe passing. If you’re planning to pass another vehicle, keep within the speed limit and always signal, check your mirrors and shoulder check first. Ensure you can see the vehicle you’ve passed in your mirrors before pulling back in front of it. When you pass or change lanes in front of a truck, leave extra room before pulling back in.
Plan rest stops every couple of hours or switch drivers to avoid becoming fatigued while driving.
• Think ahead. If you’ll be taking a road

“Drivers must remember they share the road – there are other road users to watch out for, like young children and cyclists who are especially vulnerable to drivers’ high risk behaviours,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “Left hand turns present enormous risks for crashes between vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists because visibility and sight lines can be compromised in these situations.”
• Get your vehicle ready. Long trips can be hard on your vehicle so make sure it’s up to the drive. Check your engine oil, washer fluid and lights. Take a look at your tires too, including the spare, to make sure they are in good condition and properly inflated.
“Failing to yield, speeding, and unsafe lane changes are high-risk driving behaviours that put everyone at risk,” said Chief Officer Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Drivers have to be responsible for their actions, pay attention and focus on driving. Police will be out in full-force across the province this month looking for drivers who feel the rules don’t apply to them.”

Shuffling the deck Kimberley Dynamiters shake up hockey operations staff Taylor Rocca Sports Editor
It may be offseason for the Kimberley Dynamiters, but there’s plenty going on behind the scenes for the 2015 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League champions. On Tuesday afternoon, Kimberley Dynamiters president Chad Koran announced the team was shifting staff within its hockey operations department ahead of the 2015-16 KIJHL season. Assistant coach Mike Reid will take over as general manager - director of player personnel, with former general manager Dave Smith moving into the role of assistant general manager - hockey operations. “We really value Dave’s input and his dedication to team,” Koran said Tuesday. “It’s incredible how much he’s offered the team. “We’ve just taken the workload and divided it into two. It’s a pretty demanding and time-consuming job. We’re just trying to divide it between the two guys and lighten the load for the both of them. “We want the two of them to work hand in hand…We think this is going to be a good opportunity for both of them.” No other staffing changes to the Dyna-
miters hockey operations department are expected prior to the 2015-16 KIJHL season. Head coach Jerry Bancks will return, while Reid will remain as an assistant coach in addition to his new role as general manager. Assistant coaches Jeff Keiver and Todd White will also be returning.
Smith’s lone season as general manager of the Kimberley Dynamiters was nothing short of a success. Under Smith’s crafting, the Nitros finished the 2014-15 campaign second in the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division, before cruising to the league title, defeating the Creston Valley Thundercats, Fernie Ghostriders, Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Kamloops Storm along the way. The Dynamiters then came within one game of the B.C. Junior ‘B’ provincial championship, falling to the Campbell River Storm in the Cyclone Taylor Cup final by a 6-5 margin. The Storm went on to win the Keystone Cup -- western Canada’s Junior ‘B championship. Smith’s biggest addition came Nov. 29, 2014,
when he struck a deal with the Summerland Steam, swapping Tyson Klingspohn for Braden Saretsky. The West Kelowna native went on to tally 19 goals and 54 points in 44 regular-season contests -- including 41 points in 25 games with the Nitros. The 5-foot-11 pivot then led his team in KIJHL playoff scoring with 18 goals and 29 points in 22 games. Saretsky has since signed on with the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. During his many years with the Dynamiters, Smith previously held the titles of president and vice-president. The Dynamiters annual general meeting is slated for Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Kimberley. Those interested in volunteering their time in some capacity are encouraged to attend the Tuesday AGM. Notes: KIJHL Governors meetings took place in Castlegar in late April ... Notable changes expected to be finalized at the league AGM in June include a scheduling change that will see the league play a fivegame championship series ... The KIJHL is also expected to keep regular season “crossover” games featuring out-of-conference opponents ...
Brain analysis shows former NHLer had CTE C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - An analysis of Steve Montador’s brain shows the late NHL player had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Montador was a 35-year-old retired defenceman who sustained multiple concussions during his career. His brain was donated after his death in February to the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Centre’s for analysis. Project head Dr. Charles Tator says the autopsy showed the widespread presence of CTE throughout Monta-
dor’s brain. Prior to his death, the former NHLer had suffered from depression, erratic behaviour and problems with his memory. The brain of former Calgary Stampeder John Forzani was also donated to the project after his death last October at age 67, but no signs of CTE were found, despite a history of multiple concussions. “These results indicate that in some athletes multiple concussions lead to the development of CTE, but also that certain individuals may be more vulnerable than others to develop-
ing CTE as a result of concussions,” said Dr. Lili-Naz Hazrati, neuropathologist in the Laboratory Medicine Program at the University Health Network who conducted the autopsies. “Adding these findings to the other results we’ve had to date reflects the spectrum of our findings by showing that concussions can affect the brain in different ways.” To date, the Sports Concussion Project has analyzed the brains of 16 athletes, with roughly half showing signs of CTE or the presence of another neurodegenerative disease.

NFL investigator found direct evidence to implicate Brady R achel Cohen Associated Press
NEW YORK - The lawyer who investigated the New England Patriots insisted Tuesday that he found direct, not just circumstantial, evidence to show quarterback Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating footballs. Miffed by criticism from Brady’s agent, Ted Wells decided to take the unusual step of holding a conference call with reporters, a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl MVP for the season’s first four games based on the report. Wells said his findings would have been strong enough to convince a jury under the “preponderance of evidence” standard, which is used in many civil cases. Wells released his report last Wednesday, asserting it was “more probable than not” that Brady “was at least generally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. His voice frequently
rising Tuesday, Wells testily rebutted assertions from Don Yee, Brady’s agent, questioning Wells’ independence because his firm does other business with the NFL. “What drove the decision in this report is one thing: It was the evidence,” Wells said. “I could not ethically ignore the import and relevancy of those text messages and the other evidence.” Wells specifically mentioned two series of text exchanges between officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski. In one, McNally referred to himself as “the Deflator” and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jastremski mentioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls. “That is not circumstantial evidence,” Wells said. “That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place.” On Thursday, Yee had called Wells’ report “a significant and terrible
disappointment,” suggesting that it “reached a conclusion first, and then determined socalled facts later.” Along with denying any bias, Wells derided the idea that the NFL wanted the investigation to implicate a quarterback he described as “one of the most popular, iconic players in the league.” “That does not make sense,” Wells said. “It’s a ridiculous allegation.” Wells has conducted several other high-profile sports investigations in recent years, including the NFL report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal. To Yee’s assertion that he omitted key statements from Brady, Wells challenged the agent to release his full transcript of the interview. “Nothing, I guarantee you, in his notes would make any difference in my decision,” he said. He also disputed Yee’s characterization of the investigation as a “sting,” noting that NFL officials initially didn’t take the Colts’ complaints seriously during January’s AFC Championship game. The Patriots wound
up routing Indianapolis 45-7 that day, then went on to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl 28-24 for Brady’s fourth title. In the quarterback’s only public comments since the report’s release, he said that the scandal hasn’t taken away from the team’s accomplishments. Brady plans to appeal his four-game suspension. The Patriots were penalized $1 million matching the largest fine in league history - and docked two draft picks. Owner Bob Kraft has declared his “unconditional support” for his twotime MVP quarterback. Wells said the Patriots were co-operative, with two major exceptions: declining a request for a second interview with McNally, and Brady’s refusal to turn over phone records. Wells said he had told Brady and Yee he did not need to see his phone and would have accepted a list of communications. Wells, who said he bills by the hour, wouldn’t estimate how much his investigation cost the NFL but said “no question it’s in the millions of dollars.”

Kelowna Rockets one game from WHL championship sweep Game 4 slated for Wednesday night in Kelowna
Rob Henderson Brandon Sun
KELOWNA, B.C. — Billed as a potential classic going in, the Ed Chynoweth Cup final is dangerously close to being a sweep. The Kelowna Rockets are one victory away from the Western Hockey League championship, methodically grinding out victories over the Brandon Wheat Kings in the first three games of the best-ofseven series, with bendbut-not-break defence and timely goals. After winning the first two games in Brandon, the Rockets didn’t let up once they returned home, skating to their second consecutive 5-3 victory over the Wheat Kings on Monday night. They’ll try to finish the job in Game 4 on Wednesday, and Wheat Kings head coach/general manager Kelly McCrimmon is still waiting to see his team bring its best effort. “We’re disappointed to be facing elimination in the fourth game of the series,” McCrimmon said. “If we could have won tonight it’s a brandnew series; it changes the complexion of it significantly. That didn’t happen, so we have to get ready to play on Wednesday. It’s our first time facing elimination this season. Our team has really shown many times we respond well (to adversity) and we’ll look to do that Wednesday in Game 4.” The Wheat Kings were the WHL’s top team in the regular season with 114 points, two more than the Rockets, who led the overall standings until a late Brandon charge. Now matched head-to-head instead of being a conference apart, the Rockets have managed to withstand every charge made by the Wheat Kings so far. On Monday, they
turned to three of their top forwards to get the job done. After being put together part way through Game 2, Rourke Chartier (two goals, one assist), Leon Draisaitl (one goal, two assists) and Nick Merkley (three assists) were together from the opening faceoff on Monday and combined for nine points. Their contributions were timely as well, with Draisaitl opening the scoring with a short-handed goal — Kelowna’s second on back-to-back Brandon power plays going back to Game 2 — while Chartier potted the winner and a key insurance goal with Brandon pushing in the third. “There’s been way too many momentum swings for us,” said Nolan Patrick, who scored one of the Wheat Kings’ two goals after they were down by three that helped them cut the Rockets’ lead to 4-3. “We played good in the third period there, we made it a game, but we give up that goal at the end there and the momentum swings back the other way.” After Draisaitl’s opening goal, on a four-minute Brandon power play, Morgan Klimchuk responded for the Wheat Kings on the second half of the double minor. Less than a minute after Klimchuk’s goal, Gage Quinney was the beneficiary of a nifty Chartier setup, scoring to put the Rockets back in front. Quinney paid it forward in the second, feeding rookie Dillon Dube, who made it 3-1, before Chartier netted the eventual winner on a redirection. Patrick’s goal in the second and Tim McGauley’s marker in the third, shortly after the Wheat Kings killed a lengthy five-on-three Rocket power play, put Kelowna under some pressure until Chartier scored off the rush to
give his team some breathing room. Klimchuk said the Wheat Kings needed to push harder earlier in the game. “That’s kind of been the story for a while now,” he said. “The third periods have been our best periods. You want to have good starts to the game. I think we did in Games 1 and 2, but it’s tough coming into a building like this and having a start like that, because they can feed off the crowd. … It’s a testament to the boys we’re ready to battle back when we need to, but at the same time we want to be playing at that level for the whole 60 minutes if we want to win the series.” Despite his team’s comfortable lead in the series, Rockets head coach Dan Lambert remains wary of the threat the Wheat Kings present. “They were the highest scoring team in the league for a reason,” he said. “They’re resilient, they never give up, they have a tremendous amount of skill and determination and it certainly shows when they’ve been down in the series. Twice they were able to come back and even things up and tonight they got awfully close to doing that again.” The Rockets got 26 saves from Jackson Whistle, while Wheat Kings goalie Jordan Papirny stopped 27 shots. ONE-TIMERS: Brandon was 1-for-3 on the power play, while Kelowna was 0-for-5 … The Rockets are on a sixgame winning streak … The Wheat Kings scratched C/RW Reid Duke, LW Quintin Lisoway, D/LW Mark Matsuba, D Kale Clague and D Mark Taraschuk … The Rockets scratched LW Tyrell Goulbourne, LW Tanner Wishnowski, RW Tate Coughlin and D Mitchell Wheaton.
Mayweather-Pacquiao fight sets PPV record Tim Dahlberg Associated Press
LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao proved a box office smash, even if their welterweight title fight didn’t live up to the hype. The May 2 fight obliterated the payper-view record, with 4.4 million buys generating more than $400 million in revenue. With a live gate of nearly $72
million and other revenue, the bout grossed more than $600 million and likely made Mayweather more than $200 million. Showtime and HBO officials reported the whopping PPV figures Tuesday, saying the fight broke the previous record of 2.48 million buys generated by Mayweather’s 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya by nearly 2 million buys.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last week, my husband and I were able to secure tickets to a movie that had been sold out for several weeks. We looked forward to a nice evening until the lady with the popcorn and icy drink sat next to me. As soon as the movie started, she began to chomp and crunch on the popcorn, rattle the paper bag and jiggle the soda, over and over. I tried moving away as much as possible, but it didn’t help. Because the theater was so dark, I couldn’t tell whether there were other seats available. I was stuck. Very quietly, I asked her whether she was going to be finished eating soon, because the racket was very annoying. She said she likes to eat popcorn at the movies. Afterward, my husband told me I was rude and that eating during a movie should be allowed. I didn’t expect to be “right,” but am I wrong to expect courtesy from those around me? Why can’t people enjoy their treats without disturbing everyone else? What do you say, Annie? -Chomping in Florida Dear Chomping: It is customary for people to eat popcorn and other snacks during a movie. But it is also incumbent on those in attendance not to be an annoyance to the people around them. Crunchy stuff should be chewed quietly. No one needs to swish ice around in the cup. Your best bet would have been to find an usher and ask for help locating another seat, but these days, ushers are hard to come by. You also could have complained to the manager after the movie, which would not have changed the annoyance, but may have garnered you a comped ticket. We know there are folks who believe they are entitled to behave however they wish, giving no thought to anyone else. Those are the same people who would be the first to complain were they on the receiving end of such rudeness. In public places, one has an obligation to be considerate. It is selfish to do otherwise. Dear Annie: I am writing about “M.W.,” the retired teacher who didn’t want to go to Florida. I do not believe there was a writing campaign from The Villages. We don’t need to organize. We Villagers are 102,000 strong and still growing. When my husband retired 22 years ago, he wanted to move to Florida, and that was the last place I wanted to be. It was hot, unfamiliar and far from family. I had no interest in fishing, golf or crafts. I was ready to leave my husband there and see him only in the winter. Well, we finally happened upon The Villages and fell in love. There are all price ranges available, and my addicted golfing friends tell me the golfing is amazing. But there is something for everyone: more clubs than you can imagine, a wonderful philharmonic orchestra, choral groups and other musical venues, as well as numerous opportunities for volunteering. I am a guardian ad litem working with teens in group homes, and I love it. I found the calling I didn’t know I had. We thrive on helping others here. The Villages is a wonderland for adults. -- A Happy Villager Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Barbara Dawn Hascarl nee Anderson, born May 2, 1937 in Vancouver, BC suddenly passed away on the 2nd of May, the day of her 78th birthday, after complications following a successful hip replacement. Dawn had been living with her husband of 61 years, Louis Hascarl, at the Seal Bay RV Park in Courtenay BC. Predeceased by her parents and three brothers, she is survived by her husband and five children; Lucille Smith, Daryl Hascarl, Beverley Carleton, Naomi Maisonneuve and Melanie Kurucz, as well as one brother and three sisters. Family and friends of Dawn were no strangers to her love of gardening, crafts and playing cards. She used her time knitting articles for all those close to her, beating them in a game of cribbage and tending her flower beds and gardens. Working as an employee with Canada Post for her entire career, she retired from the post office in the small town of Canal Flats, BC before moving to the coast. Dawn and her husband cherished the drives they spent exploring Vancouver Island, a place they began to call home after moving from Canal Flats, ten years ago. Last July she celebrated her 60th anniversary with Lou, where she spent a wonderful weekend surrounded by her family and friends, and playing with her nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
