NorthStar Rails 2 Trails AGM C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
PHOTO COURTESY WENDY VAN PUYMBROECK
Kimberley residents are justifiably proud of their trails, which is why it is upsetting to come across such useless destruction as Wendy Van Puymbroeck did while out for a walk on Lion’s Way Trail. This memorial bench was vandalized sometime late last week.
The NorthStar Rails 2 Trails Society hosted their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, May 12 at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook. While attendance was a little down from last year’s meeting, Past-President Rob McIntyre says it was a good meeting and board members came out of it feeling they had a solid direction for the coming year. Two people, Al Skookus and Bob Ray, retired from the board, but two new people, Doug Martin and Chris Newel, stepped forward to fill the vacant places. The board is also filled with those elected last year, John Mandryk, Stu Deeks, Peter McConnachie, John Dunbar, Nina Andermatt, Laura

The NorthStar Rails 2 Trails board unveiled the new website at the AGM on Tuesday. Brine, Karen Ritchie and McIntyre. “I stepped down as president but will remain on the board,” McIntyre said. “For now the position of president is not filled. It’s really challenging for people to find time
to take a leadership role. Many people are willing to help out at specific volunteer functions.” While attendance was a little down at 32 people, McIntyre says that every one of them expressed an interest
in some aspect of the Trail management and many stepped forward to volunteer. One of the focuses of the coming year will be promoting membership and donations.
Kimberley to proceed with joint BC 55+ Games bid COs investigating bear hunt A joint bid with Cranbrook on either the 17, 18 or 19 Games C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Kimberley City Council has given the go ahead to direct staff to submit a joint bid with the City of Cranbrook, to host the 2017, 2018 or 2019 55+ BC Games and that an expenditure of $30,000 cash, and
$27,500 in kind services be committed if the Games are awarded. Cranbrook Council has already approved the same thing. Council is aware that there is no likelihood of the bid succeeding if a strong committee of community volunteers is not formed. “There has been concern expressed regarding the necessity of a strong committee. If you can’t get that, and letters of support from

various organizations, you probably won’t get it,” said Coun. Kent Goodwin. “I see this as the start of a process.” As for the $30,000 cash, Mayor Don McCormick said that it was seed money to get things started, but at the end of the day the municipality will have that money reimbursed. “It gets people in town,” said Coun. Bev Middlebrook. “And that’s what we’re looking for.”

Several area residents have been upset about the results of a bear hunt last Wednesday night, May 6 in the McGinty Lake area in Meadowbrook, north of Kimberley, where a sow was shot, leaving two orphaned cubs. As described in a letter to the Editor this week by Dave Quinn: “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 bulSee Page 4 lets 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. 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.” In this case, two cubs were left orphaned. COs put one down due to malnutrition. The very young cub had been away from its mother for at least five days by the time it was found, says CO Sgt. Ray Gilowitz.

Debs Howard takes lead in ‘The Evil In Us’ BARRY COULTER Townsman Editor
It’s been a busy year in the movie business for a Cranbrook actor. Debs Howard, currently working in the Vancouver area, just finished acting in a Canadian independent feature film, a thriller called the “Evil In Us,” that is now being shopped at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France and will be premiering in Vancouver later this month. “We were shooting for about a month, a month and a half, last summer,” Howards said. “So it’s been in post-production since last September.” “The Evil In Us” is Howard’s first feature, though she does have another coming out this year — “Even Lambs Have Teeth,” directed by Terry Miles. “They’ve got a really good cast in it — I’m not one of the leads. One of the leads is from Los Angeles, and the other works a ton in Vancouver. But Howard plays the lead in “The Evil In Us.” When six school friends meet up for a fourth of July celebration on a remote island off the Washington coast, what they expect is a harmless weekend filled with fun and partying. When one of them brings along some cocaine to amp up the good times, what they get is a mind bending trip filled with horror, chaos and murder. Unbeknownst to the friends, a sadistic, right wing terrorist organization has secretly funneled a new bio-active drug into the market disguised as cocaine. Anyone who consumes the drug is then exposed to a virus that causes fits of psychotic rage. Only one girl, Brie (Howard), refuses to take the drug and she alone must fight to stay alive as everyone around her, including her fiancé, attempts to kill her. Her only hope may be a detective who is trying to unravel the mystery behind the terrorist plot. Trapped on the island, Brie must endure the unimaginable and survive a deadly game of cat and mouse. “The Evil In Us” has

Axe in hand, Debs Howard faces down the mayhem in “The Evil In Us.” been recently completed, and is ready for screening. The production team was leaving earlier this week for the Cannes Film Festival in France. Howard explained they were going to be screening a shorter film they’d produced earlier — “Demons in the Dark,” a sort of test run for the “Evil In Us” feature. They will be taking the feature to Cannes as well, shopping it around to international distributors. An intriguing detail that directly concerns Howard’s performance is that two different endings were filmed — and she doesn’t know which one will be used. Getting to that point was a grind. Howards describes long, long days and nights on the set. “It was crazy,” she said. “We were on set, sometimes from 16 to 18 hours. We had crazy days. We pulled a ton of all-nighters. One time I left my house at 2 in the afternoon, and got back at 11 the next morning, and had worked straight through. “We were ususally filming in Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam, in the rural areas, so it was a bit of a journey to get out there.” Howards said the cabin used as the main set was also used previously in the second Twilight movie. “We had lots of special effects make-up on
set, prosthetics and tons and tons of fake blood. Luckily, I didn’t have to deal with it as much of the others did. We had things like red contact lenses — it was wild.” But that’s the film industry for you. In spite of shooting in a cabin, there was little cabin fever, and the cast members all got along well — in fact became quite good friends. “We all got along amazingly,” Howard said. “When you’re working and not sleeping for 18 hours tensions can run a little high. But there were no arguments, it was just our coping mechanism when things went wrong — a camera issue or a lighting issue, something out of our control — then we just got frustrated a little more quickly. But there were six of the main cast, and we all became really good friends. When you spend that much time with each other, you really have no choice.” Howard graduated from Mt. Baker Secondary School in 2006, and then attended the Victoria Motion Picture School. “I thought I would just give it a shot — I never really thought I could make a career out of acting, but it was always something I did growing up. I decided I’d give it a whirl. “It’s been a crazy business. It’s such a roller coaster — you never
know what’s coming next, which is the frightening thing, but also the exciting thing about it. “You just have to dive in with both feet. Things having been going well for me so far, since I got back into it. I just hope they continue to go this way.” “The Evil In Us” is an
independent, nonunion picture. Howard made the choice not to join the union at this time. Indy films and commercials, she explained, work with nonunion actors, and union membership would take her out of the running for productions like these.
“The union is a great idea if you’re booking major productions all the time, which I’m hopefully working up to. But at this point I want to be able to go out for everything that I can.” “The Evil In Us” is more than a horror film,” Howard explained. It has depths
and subtexts of a political and social nature. “It has all the elements of a horror film — the gore, the jump scares, the set-up and stuff like that. But the storyline is so much more than that. It dives into politics and some controversial issues. The mainline throughout the story is much deeper than just the horror element.” Howard said the writer/director, Jason William Lee, had the goal of not only giving viewers “a great cinematic adventure, but also make people think about what they see in the news.” “The Evil In Us” will be premiering in Vancouver on May 24. There is also a possibility, Howard said, of “The Evil In Us” screening in Cranbrook. Details will be posted in the Townsman when available. With files from Internet Movie Data Base (imdb.com).

The City of Cranbrook conducted a cull of urban deer from Feb. 22 to March 5, 2015 and during that time captured and euthanized a total of four deer. The city had a permit that extended to March 15, but the cull had to be cut short due to vandalism to four of the six clover traps used to capture the deer. The RCMP investigation is still ongoing, the
city reported in the Urban Deer Management 2015 annual report, presented to council on Monday. Of those four mule deer that were captured and dispatched, one was an adult buck and three were adult does. None of the does were pregnant. In all, that meant 96 pounds of venison was distributed between the Cranbrook Food Bank, the Ktunaxa Nation Street Angels and the Salvation Army.
COs investigate hunt From Page 1 Gilowitz says COs are investigating the incident and have identified the hunters involved. “There is a legal hunt; spring bear season is open,” he said. “However, it is illegal to hunt a black bear less than two years old or any bear in its company. “In terms of what can happen while hunting, it may not at all times be possible to determine the bear is a female with cubs. If you see cubs, you can’t hunt it. Sometimes you can tell if it’s female and you can choose to make a decision on whether to harvest it or not. That said, we do have an investigation going which we believe is associated with the orphaned cubs.” Regardless of whether the hunters could determine the sex of the
bear they harvested, they have responsibilities, Gilowitz says. “The responsible hunter should be able to determine it was a lactating mother and advise us of that so that action can be taken. “We are investigating something that took place several days prior (to the one cub being found).” Gilowitz says the cubs were very young, and would have been born during hibernation this past winter. “From the information we have, two separate cubs were seen. The one cub that was put down by Conservation Officers due to malnutrition. The other one is out there somewhere. I don’t expect it’s fate to be a good one,” he said.
The contractor also captured two white-tail deer — a doe and a buck — both were released unharmed. Coun. Norma Blissett asked why, if the city had a permit to cull both mule deer and white tail, it only euthanized mule deer. Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communications officer, noted that generally the province issues a permit for both species. “But because we’ve
found over the last couple of years we’ve found that the majority of the complaints are focused on mule deer, that’s where the majority of the cull was to be focused and that’s why we had given our contractor that direction,” Zettel explained. Council set aside a budget of $12,750 for the program. The total cost ended up being $5,187, including taxes. The quote from the contractor was for a mini-

On display at turtle day TRE VOR CR AWLEY
The Western Painted Turtle was on full display on Tuesday afternoon at Elizabeth Lake as biologists and volunteers spent the afternoon educating the public about the creatures. Set up by the rest area on the west end of the city, the displays included live turtles, shells and eggs. Wildsafe BC was also present with some animal skulls and pelts. Roughly 130 school students came down to the lake in the morning to learn about the turtles before the displays opened up to the public in the afternoon. Turtle Day is all about connecting people with the environment and the Western Painted Turtle because they’re a pretty cool creature,” said Angus Glass, the communications coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program. “They’re right at the northern edge of their range in North America. “Today is all about making sure people are aware of how cool the turtle is, how beautiful they are and how fragile they are because they are under considerable challenges from a variety of different quarters, whether it’s predation or human impact…” At this time of year, turtles are hatching from mid-April to midMay. In June, the females will lay their eggs in the nests and head back to the water. For the next 11 months, the eggs will remain in the nests until hatching. Adult turtles can live in the wild for more than 55 years and fossils have shown that painted turtles existed 15 million years ago. Glass says that Elizabeth Lake is an important area for turtle habitat.

tion, I believe, is quite stable.” While Elizabeth Lake seems to have a stable population of the Western Painted Turtle, the species is blue-listed, meaning it is vulnerable and endangered. Human development and the ever-shrinking wetland habitat has been large contributors to their blue-list status. Invasive weeds have also been a factor, as the weeds will grow around the nest and trap the hatchlings. The biggest thing to stopping the decline of the turtles is awareness of their habitat and their fragility, said Glass. “By ensuring that we don’t move into their territory too much and respect their ability to move back into ours a little bit, I think that will help,” he said.

Angus Glass, the communications coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program.
“Elizabeth Lake is a real key nesting place for Western Painted Turtles and there’s a number of lakes around the East Kootenay area that are prime areas for Western Painted Turtles,” Glass said. About 14 years ago, the Rocky Mountain Naturalists became concerned about turtles coming up out of the lake and crossing the highway as they searched for nesting
areas. Crossing the highway resulted in higher mortality rates, which was affecting the population, said Glass. To solve the problem, a fence was installed down the bank from the highway, which prevented the turtles from crossing the road. A small sandy beachhead was prepared to allow turtles to create nesting areas closer to the lake. “Before this fence

was built alongside the road, they’d go hundreds of metres from the road,” said Glass. “They’re really good walkers, they can cover quite a distance. “We’ve actually forced them to nest closer to the lake by putting up that fence and keeping them off the highway because mortality has been quite significant. The lake is good, it’s a great size, there’s lots of food, [and] the popula-

The Stanley Cup drought continues
W
ith the Canadiens eliminated from the playoffs on Tuesday, that officially kills the dream of a Canadian team hoisting the Stanley Cup. Fortunately, you can still watch the Canadians if you want to get your hockey fix. Confused? While five (soon to be four) teams are just about set for the respective conference finals in the NHL playoffs, there is still a national team chasing a world championship in Europe. Nothing like a good old fashioned consolation prize. But hey, the world championship is still worth something, right? You win it because you beat other national teams across the globe. Not like the NFL or the MLB, whose teams crown themselves world champions when they win a league championship. Congratulations—one American team out of 32 American teams wins the Vince Lombardi trophy for the NFL title. Might as well tack on the title of world champion while they’re at it. From a hockey standpoint, at least the Canadians have to play against other countries to call themselves—y’know—world
champions. Even then it’s not a sure thing that the Canadians will win. The last time Team Canada medalled was in 2009, losing out to Russia in the final. Since then, they’ve collected no hardware. I’m always a little bemused by the roster makeup of each team when the spring rolls around. Almost everyone on teams like Canada, U.S.A., Russia, Sweden, and—to a point—Finland are players who bounced out early in the playoffs. However, there’s another layer of intrigue this year, Trevor with the added media hype Crawley over what head coach Mike Babcock intends to do and what Team Canada head coach Todd McLellan intends to do. Both will be prized assets to the NHL club that manages to lure them to their bench. Ask any NHLer what they’d rather have: a Stanley Cup or a World Championship. Hands down, the answer is the former. That’s because the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in professional sport. While there are many Canadian players who have hoisted the Stanley Cup, there haven’t been any Canadian teams to win the championship since the Habs did it in 1993—22 years.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
There was a good chance that it might’ve changed this year, when the Canucks, Flames, Senators and the Canadiens qualified for the post-season, but then they were all matched up against each other, which didn’t help the odds. Then the Ducks snuffed out the Flames and the Habs got struck by Lightning, so that put an end to that. But as with all experiences, good or bad, there were lessons borne out of losing. The Senators learned that their league record-setting goaltender Andrew Hammond is not invincible. The Canadiens learned they needed to do more than just count on Carey Price to steal wins. The Flames learned that their youth and exuberance can be a positive factor, as proven by Michael ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ Ferland with his physical play. And the Canucks, well, they learned that time isn’t waiting on any of their core players. But as much as it hurts to make an early exit from the post-season, there’s always the opportunity to suit up for the World Championships. Because it’s always better to have the opportunity to be a world champion. Right? Trevor Crawley is a reporter with the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Features It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of May 10-16 Dave Humphry
Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1902 NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR CRANBROOK … Cranbrook continues to grow. With the growth of the town comes the natural demand for improvements in every line. The electric light plant followed by outside telephone connection, and now comes the local telephone plant. The field is here and for some time the need of local telephone communication has been felt by the people. This has been emphasized by the great increase in the residential districts and the demand for quick communication with the business section of town. The Cranbrook Electric Light company, with its characteristic enterprise, arose to the occasion and has already ordered all the material necessary to give to this town a first class, modern telephone exchange. This week Superintendent Ewert marked the pole locations on the principal streets, and as soon as they arrive, with the other material, the work of installation will be inaugurated. The establishment of a telephone exchange in Cranbrook is simply a step forward toward the inevitable, the making of the great commercial center of this rich and prosperous section. Events during the past few months have been rapidly shaping that way, showing even to the skeptical that nothing can now impede the progress of Cranbrook. BASEBALL BOYS ORGANIZE … A number of baseball enthusiasts met at the Manitoba Hotel Monday evening and organized for the season by electing the following officers: Honorary President, J. P. Fink. President, Dr. J. H. King. Vice President, I. B. Vandecar. Manager, E. H. Small. The selection of a captain was left in the hands of Manager Small, who will make the appointment as soon as the membership of the team has been decided upon. Cranbrook has the material for one of the best baseball clubs in the district and if given the proper support there is no doubt that the team will acquit themselves in a manner that will prove a credit to the town and players. Baseball is one of the most interesting and healthful of athletic sports and should be liberally supported by the citizens. HOMES FOR SALE … House and Lot on Baker Hill, Six Rooms, $650 cash, balance easy terms. House and Lot, Six Rooms and Stable, $300 cash, balance easy terms. House and Lot, Six Rooms, $900 cash. All Snaps. First Come, First Served. DO YOU SWIM? … Editor Cranbrook Herald: Dear Sir, With the approach of warm weather the thoughts of a good many people revert to the “swimmin’ hole” on the old homestead. The people of Cranbrook are noted for their enterprise and the writer feels sure that enough enthusiasm could be worked up to organize a swimming bath. The expense would not be great and if started now and in running order before the hot weather commences would be well patronized. There are very few men and boys who would forego the pleasure of a refreshing swim for the nominal sum which would admit them to an established natatorium. Sincerely Swimmer. ARRESTED … Walter Johnson and Daniel O’Connell were brought to Cranbrook Sunday night by Constable Forbes of Kimberley. The men were charged with an attempt to hold up James McBride on the road between Kimberley and the North
Star Sunday afternoon. The men were arraigned before A. Leitch J. P., Monday and remanded until Thursday. BUSINESS MEN SHOULD REMEMBER THAT … The man who whispers down a well, About the goods he has to sell, Won’t reap the gleaming, golden dollars, Like one who climbs a tree and hollers. Moral — Advertise your goods in The Cranbrook Herald. CRANBROOK CEMETERY … Cranbrook has one thing that her citizens should be ashamed of, and that is the condition of the cemetery, and the heaps of brush thrown about it. The owner of the ground should do something toward making the city of the dead appear as if civilized beings were interested in it, and the people generally should lend a hand toward making it beautiful. As it stands now it is a disgrace to Cranbrook. WEATHER NEWS … The pure, unadulterated, dyed in the wool banana weather arrived yesterday afternoon, having been delayed by the rock slide at Frank. In the language of the Edmonton poet, “Spring has came.” SPRING CLEANING … House cleaning time is upon the domestic domiciles of man, and the better half of every family is in her glory. Now is the time when the tired husband goes home to snacks for meals, and climbs over a confused mass of household furniture at night to rest his weary head on a bed covered with bric-a-brac, shoes, and ladies lingerie, and drops off to sleep with the odors of mothballs, concentrated lye and fresh paint filling his nostrils. We are figuring on a vacation, and we think we will take it pretty quick. ANOTHER FOOT RACE ... Editor Herald: I hereby challenge Nevin, of Cranbrook, and Mitchell, of Fernie, to a foot race any distance from 100 to 220 yards for $200 a side each, winner to take $400, second man to take $200. Race to be run in the town offering the largest purse. Race to come off about May 24, or any holiday in the near future. To show you that I mean business I have this day placed $50 in the hands of Harry McIntosh, proprietor of the Hoffman house, Rossland. Hoping to hear from the above named gentlemen as early as possible, I am, yours truly, Gus. Raabe, Rossland. B. C. 1904 CRANBROOK TO INCORPORATE … The incorporation meeting Monday night was characteristic of Cranbrook and her people. There were between 150 and 200 people present, and business was transacted in a business-like manner. Without a dissenting voice that great gathering of property owners and business men voted in favor of incorporation. It was a vote that carried conviction with it, and one that should serve as a stimulus to the committee to move without any unnecessary delay. The sentiment of the meeting, as shown by the vote, by the remarks made, and by the statements cheered, was overwhelmingly in favor of home government and the advantages to be secured by incorporation, even if it is to cost a trifle more than under existing conditions. The picture of the Fernie fire seemed to be before the people, and this coupled with an appreciation of this town’s helpless condition in case of fire, the lack of returns for taxes paid and the unsanitary conditions of the city, seemed to lead those congregated to one goal—incorporation. MOVE FROM FORT STEELE … Government Agent Armstrong received instructions from the government at Victoria during the week to move his office and
staff to Cranbrook. It has been known for some time that the offices were to be moved and it was expected that it would be done before this. The reason for moving is obvious to all. It has become a necessity in the interest of the people of South East Kootenay, especially to the towns along the line of the Crows Nest branch. LARRY DOOLAN CHAINED ... Larry Doolan, late road master of the Cranbrook division, was presented a handsome Klondike nugget watch chain and locket by the members of the Trackmen’s union. The gift is a beauty and contains enough solid gold to make a man feel like a millionaire. It was purchased of J, Fleishman, who will have the locket properly engraved for Mr. Doolan. SCHOOL REPORT ... During the month of April the number of pupils present was 210, consisting of 101 boys and 109 girls. By divisions: Div. 1, 46; Div. 2, 55; Div. 3, 58; Div. 4, 61. As the average number of the pupils per teacher in all the graded schools of the province is approximately 30, it will be seen that the rooms of the Cranbrook schools are away ahead of the average. The department of education has provided for another teacher to relieve the pressure. The appointment will be made in August. Visits by trustees during the month, four. Visits by other persons, ten. THE KOOTENAY GOLF CLUB ... A meeting was held on Tuesday evening in Messrs. Beale & Elwell’s office for the purpose of forming a golf club. It was decided to adopt the name of “The Kootenay Golf Club, of Cranbrook,” and the following officers elected; Honorary Presidents, His Honor Judge Forin and Mrs. S. F. Morley; Hon. Vice Presidents, Mr. F. G. Malpas and Mrs Malpas; President, Mr. G. T. Rogers; Captain, J. A. Motherwell, Sec-Treas., R. T. Bryimner, and a committee composed of Messrs. Morley, Beale and Dunbar. The course has already been laid out and as there are the best natural facilities for first class links in Cranbrook, the new club should be a success in every way. FOR SALE … Building at Mission formerly used as St. Eugene Hospital. Must be taken off the grounds. Apply to St Eugene hospital. FOR SALE … A phaeton, double set of harness and two ponies. $150 takes the lot. Mrs. A. Leitch. FRESH FRUIT … Strawberries have arrived. They are fine in quality and sell for 40 cents a box with high bottoms. CAUGHT AGAIN … One of L. B. Van Decar’s bears broke his chain Sunday evening, and attracted a vast amount of attention and a large crowd in its efforts to resist capture. It was finally lassoed into a helpless condition and the chain replaced. MR, STOCK’S HANDSOME PRESENT ... William Stocks, who had been superintendent of the bridge and building department of the Crows Nest line for several years, and resigned a few weeks ago, was handsomely remembered by the men in that department. He was the surprised recipient of a silver tea set that cost between $200 and $300, that will prove a silent but lasting monument to the affection of the men who served under Mr. Stocks for years. They appreciated his worth, his ability arid his personal characteristics, and regretted his departure from the department. MARRIAGE … Yes, and the CITY BAKERY is the place to get a nice wedding cake and ornaments in the latest style. Why send your order out of town and perhaps have the icing broken by shipping. Prices right. Phone 54. Opposite M. E. Church. C. W. WILSON.

Top bantam pick of Kootenay Ice looking forward to ‘what the future holds’ Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Some players have exciting or emotional stories to tell when they recount their experiences on WHL Bantam Draft day. For Keenan Taphorn, his was one of conflicting emotion. The 15-year-old forward was going through a regular day at Yorkton Regional High School. When the Kootenay Ice made him their top pick at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, Taphorn was sitting comfortably in computer class and watched as his name popped up on the screen. “I was stoked. I was very happy,” Taphorn said Tuesday afternoon over the phone. Though Taphorn’s initial reaction on draft day was one of excitement, his joy was quickly turned on its head when he was separated from twin brother, Kaeden, as the Vancouver Giants claimed him in the third round (47th
overall) of 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. “I was devastated,” Taphorn said. “I was watching and saw that Kootenay was nine picks up. I was crossing my fingers he wouldn’t be chosen [before the Ice selected 56th overall in the third round]. But seeing the Giants take him, I was really devastated.
“We’ve played together our whole lives. It wasn’t a great moment.” For now, the Taphorn twins find themselves on opposite sides of British Columbia in terms of the Western Hockey League, but Keenan is hopeful there might be some magic in the works to bring the
Ice prospect Lieffers ‘looking forward to this’ Darren Z ary Saskatoon StarPhoenix
Eli Lieffers couldn’t help himself. The young prospect kept checking the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft online while at school Thursday, May 7. He nearly got sent to the penalty box because of it. “I almost got my phone taken away a couple of times because I was checking too much,” admits Lieffers, who would be the first Saskatoon player selected when he was taken in the fourth round, 78th overall, by the Kootenay Ice. Out of four Saskatoon players picked in Thursday’s WHL Draft, three of them — Lieffers, Matthew Smith and Matt Allardyce — played for the Saskatoon Maniacs this season. “They’re three pretty good kids,” Maniacs head coach Mark Peterson said Thursday.
“They all worked hard on and off the ice to make sure they were constantly improving. I think they were all looking ahead to this day and this was the goal they had for themselves for the year.” Lieffers grew up playing in the Aces zone before moving on to the Greater Saskatoon Hockey League for the past four seasons. “All the time growing up, I was always looking forward to this,” said Lieffers, a centreman who led the Maniacs with 19 goals and 14 assists for 33 points in 31 games this season. “The biggest goal was to get drafted, so, yeah, it’s a big thing for me.” Lieffers had a couple of WHL teams contact him, but he wasn’t sure at all where he may end up. “I was happy wherever I got picked from, as long as I got picked,” he said.
two together before they have to face-off against one another on a WHL playing surface. “Hopefully we can get something happening here and get us to play together again,” Taphorn said. For now, only Keenan Taphorn is property of the Kootenay Ice and director of scouting Garnet Kazuik characterized him as “a typical Kootenay Ice player” coming from a winning tradition. Growing up in Yorkton, a community of 15,669 located approximately 190 km northeast of Regina, Taphorn spent his 2014-15 season with the Yorkton UTC Bantam ‘AA’ Terriers. The Terriers went 301-0, finishing first in the Saskatchewan Bantam ‘AA’ Hockey League’s (SBAAHL) South Division, before claiming the SBAAHL playoff title. If that isn’t enough of a winning pedigree to associate with Taphorn, how about the fact he idolizes NHL goal-scor-
ing speedster and Stanley Cup champion Jeff Carter? “That just shows you how smart he is right there,” said Graham Garrett, Taphorn’s coach with the Terriers, over the phone Wednesday afternoon. “He’s kind of got that tall, lanky stature…The shooting, the speed, the right shot -- [Jeff Carter is] a good guy for him to emulate. That’s the type of player he is. “He’s been great to coach. He’s got a really excellent skill set, listens well and understands what’s being taught and expected by the coaching staff. He’s a good teammate. He was a leader in the dressing room. Even though he’s quiet, he leads well on the ice.” At 6-feet and 157 pounds, Taphorn has room to grow, but at a young age, he already fills a frame much like the 6-foot-4, 209-pound Los Angeles Kings’ sensation. After tacking up 30

With a wave of youth about to crash down on Cranbrook this season, the newest member of the Kootenay Ice might just get that opportunity when he first becomes eligible. “It’s a huge jump,” Taphorn said. “You’ve just got to keep on working at it every day.

try to improve. Get stronger and faster in all the aspects of the game. At the end of the day, just give it your all and try to get one step closer to playing in the WHL.
“The last couple years, I’ve realized I want to go the WHL route. It’s something I really want to do. We’ll see what the future holds here and hopefully I can play in the WHL one day.” Those are welcome words for Kootenay Ice fans, who watched helplessly as 2014 first-round pick Griffin Mendel committed to the BCHL’s Penticton Vees recently. Taphorn is set to suit up alongside his brother with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association’s U-16 Summer Camp squad, featuring 42 of the province’s top second-year bantam play-
ers. The Taphorns represent two of the top 24 forwards in their age group in Saskatchewan with their naming to the roster. After that, he will visit Cranbrook for the first time when Kootenay Ice training camp rolls around in August 2015. “I heard it’s a beautiful city down there,” Taphorn said. “We’ll see what the future holds.” Taphorn will spend the 2015-16 season at home in Yorkton, where he is expected to suit up for the Yorkton Midget ‘AAA’ Maulers, once again under the tutelage of Garrett. “I look forward to that and we’ll work on some more of his physical development as well as his mental preparation for games and his understanding of how the game needs to be played at the WHL level,” Garrett said. “Whoever coaches him [in Cranbrook], he’ll be a pleasure to coach. He’ll add to the ability of the team to be successful.”

Jeff Hollick, longtime radio voice of Kootenay Ice, steps away Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
When the puck drops on the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season, radio listeners in Cranbrook will be hearing a brand new voice of the Kootenay Ice. Jeff Hollick, longtime radio voice of the Kootenay Ice, announced he was stepping away from the Western Financial Place broadcast booth Wednesday morning. “I have been extremely fortunate to cover three WHL Championship teams and a Memorial Cup-winning team,” Hollick wrote on his blog, the well-read Between The Lines. “Whenever I am asked for my favourite all-time moment or game, I have at least a dozen to choose from and can never narrow it down to just one. It has been an amazing, remarkable and unforgettable time.” Hollick spent 16 seasons as the radio voice of the Kootenay Ice with The Drive 102.9 FM and B-104 Total Country (Jim Pattison Broadcast Group) in Cranbrook. “Big decisions in life don’t come easy and after much reflection, I have decided to take a leap of faith in my ca-
Jeff Hollick reer,” Hollick wrote. “Being a play-byplay announcer has always been my number-one career goal and [I] have enjoyed the past 16 years more than I thought possible.” Hollick’s expertise of
both the Kootenay Ice and Western Hockey League was revered throughout western Canada. Upon making his announcement, messages poured in from across the WHL, with teams, reporters, play-by-play announcers and other members
of the media sending their thanks and best wishes to Hollick. “The Kootenay Ice would like to thank @ JeffHollick for 16 terrific years as our radio broadcaster,” the Kootenay Ice tweeted Wednesday morning. “We wish @JeffHollick and his family the very best in their future endeavours. You will be missed!” Brian Munz, radio voice of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, shared his wishes via Twitter as well. “All the best to @JeffHollick, who is hanging up the headset as voice of the @WHLKootenayIce,” Munz tweeted. In his blog entry, Hollick wished to thank all the fans for listening over his years in the broadcast booth. In May 2011, Hollick was named the 2010 British Columbia Association of Broadcasters (BCAB) Broadcast Performer of the Year. On March 24, the Kootenay Ice and The Drive 102.9 FM announced they agreed upon a new three-year broadcasting agreement running through the 2015-16 to 2017-18 WHL seasons.

For a group of Cranbrook and Kimberley hockey players, it was an epic adventure of a lifetime. On March 16, 2015, a group of 10 hockey players, aged 11 to 14, embarked on a journey to Australia for the 2015 International Friendship Games Hockey Tournament. The trip began in Sydney where the Cranbrook Colts visited the Taronga Zoo, Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and hung out in Hyde Park before boarding a bus to Newcastle, approximately 160 km north of Sydney along Australia’s Central Coast. Newcastle, a city of just over 308,000 people, played host to 10 hockey teams from around the world for nine days. The tournament, which originally beta in Japan in 1989, has been
hosted every second year since then, with host locations rotating between Autsralia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States. The goal of the tournament is to share the game of hockey in a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere. Points are awarded based on sportsmanship, goodwill, team-building and the sharing of knowledge about the game. Players were billeted by local families and formed lifelong friendships over nine days. It truly was a once-in-alifetime experience for the young boys. The players spent two years fundraising in the East Kootenay, holding raffles, bottle drives, hot-dog sales, bagging groceries and hosting puck tosses at Kootenay Ice games. This trip wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the community and

For The Townsman
REPORT ALL ACTS OF AGGRESSION BY URBAN DEER Any incidents involving acts of deer aggression in the City of Cranbrook should be reported. Both City staff and the provincial Conservation Officer Service keep close tabs on these reports of aggressive deer behaviour in order for Mayor and Council to make any future decisions around urban deer management. To report an incident to the Conservation Officer Service, please call 1-877-952-7277. To report an incident to the City of Cranbrook, please call 250-426-4211 or email urbandeer@cranbrook. ca. Late May through June is historically the time of year does give birth to their fawns. Does will drive away their offspring from the previous year and look for a secluded place to give birth. Deer have one or two fawns per year and triplets do occur once in a while. The white-spotted fawn relies on its colouration, lack of scent and silence for protection. It is quite common for does to leave fawns hidden while they forage in the area, returning occasionally to nurse. If you come across a fawn, it is best to leave it alone. It is also important for residents to remember that does with fawns are very wary of their surroundings and can act or react aggressively if they feel threatened. Give the deer plenty of space to either move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer, choose another route. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and be ready to let go of the leash if a deer attacks.

says insurance expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada. “There are many choices, so taking time to examine each option is ideal.” Consider the following next time you are renting a car: • Save on insurance: Getting coverage from the rental agency can cost up to $25 a day for two drivers, but talk to your insurer or broker as your existing policy may cover you on rentals as well. Also speak to your credit card company as some providers will cover you if the rental is made on their card. • Get the best rate: The Internet makes it easy to compare rates.

Critical tips for when you are looking at renting a car
NEWS AUTOMOTION
DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
Keep an eye out for discounts and deals. • Bring your own GPS: It can be a very handy tool when driving in unfamiliar areas. If you don’t have one yourself, borrow a GPS from a friend, as car rental agencies can charge up to an extra $12 a day for the convenience. More information is available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com. “The key is to plan ahead so you can make an informed decision about car rental insurance plans,” says insurance expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada. “There are many choices, so taking time to examine each option is ideal.” Consider the following next time you are renting a car: • Save on insurance: Getting coverage from the rental agency can cost up to $25 a day for two drivers, but talk to your insurer or broker as your existing policy may cover you on rentals as well. Also speak to your credit card company as some providers will cover you if the rental is made on their card. • Bring your own GPS: It can be a very handy tool when driving in unfamiliar areas.

Prepare Your Car for a Summer Road Trip NE WS C ANADA
You’ve got all the landmarks plotted on the map, the tablet loaded with movies for the kids and a cooler of snacks, but have you thought about the most important part of any summer road trip? Making sure your car is ready for your epic journey will give you peace of mind and ensure you don’t get stranded at the World’s Largest Ball of Dental Floss. Check the Tires: Inspect the pressure in your tires to make sure they are fully inflated to get the best fuel economy while you’re clocking all those kilometres, and be sure to look for uneven tread that could be indicative of wheel misalignment. Don’t forget that spare in case of emergencies, even if it takes up valuable lawn chair space. Check the Fluids: Just as we need H2O to survive, your car needs all of its fluids. Fill up your power steering, brake and transmission fluid, plus engine oil, antifreeze/coolant and of course, windshield washer fluid because the insects, mud and
bird droppings you will encounter along the way don’t make for the nicest view. Check the Temperature: If you’ve ever had the air conditioner stop working on a hot summer day, you know how uncomfortable it can be, never mind with a car full of people. Have it pressure checked before your trip and whenever you get into a hot car, open up the windows for a few minutes to take some pressure off the A/C. Use the windows to cool down as often as possible to improve fuel economy, unless you’re going over 80km since the aerodynamic drag from the windows will use more fuel than the A/C. Check the Belts: Now that you’ve made sure you and your passengers will stay cool, make sure everything under the hood will too. Hot summers can wreak havoc on a vehicle’s belts and hoses. Inspect them and look for any cracks, more than a slight flex when tugged and hoses that are too soft when squeezed. Check the Brakes: Checking the brake sys-
tem before taking off is a vital step. Inspect the area for battery corrosion, make sure the connection is tight and test your brakes to see if they feel smooth. Check the Tunes: Audio entertainment is a quintessential part of any road trip and getting your car set up ahead of time will make it easy to enjoy during those long hours on the road. If you don’t already have a SiriusXM satellite radio subscription, investigate the free trial that is offered on most new and pre-owned vehicles at www.siriusxm. ca. You won’t have to worry about losing signal anywhere in North America and the commercial-free music, news, comedy, kids programming and sports means there’s something for everyone in the car. Whether you’re heading out on the open road with your family, friends or a partner, having a safe and trouble-free drive will help make sure all you have to worry about is having a fun and memorable adventure.

Cineplex places bets on gamers C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Step aside Hollywood because this year Cineplex is placing its bets on Canada’s burgeoning video game community. After years of dabbling in various small gaming events, the Toronto-based movie exhibitor wants to show gamers it’s ready to invest in their obsession. This summer, Cineplex will hold a series of gaming-themed screenings it hopes will eventually lead to hosting local video game competitions at its own theatres. The move comes as the company focuses on building a sustainable business that doesn’t solely rely on the volatile profits of the movie industry, which thrives on the latest blockbuster and stumbles on the flops. Enthusiastic gamers could offer the company a reliable way of drawing crowds any time of year. Multi-player video game tournaments,
also known as Esports, have become a global sensation that attracts thousands of spectators to live events held at arenas and other venues around the world. Fans cheer on players who compete headto-head in popular games like “Counter-Strike: GO” and “Call of Duty” as their every move is projected on giant screens. The winners can go home with thousands of dollars in cash prizes. Cineplex chief executive Ellis Jacob said Wednesday that he wants to tap into that energy within the Canadian gaming community this year. “There’s a lot of vitality,” he said at the company’s annual meeting. In July, Cineplex (TSX:CGX) will gauge the national interest of gamers with an event screening of the documentary, “All Work All Play: The Pursuit of Esports Glory” at 85 theatres across much of the country. The movie will
Soon gamers should be able to play on big screens like this one at Cineplex locations. be followed by a casual Esports competition between audience members inside the theatres. Cineplex hopes the documentary will trigger interest from a hungry gaming community that has faced a lack of public spaces to hold competitions in many parts of the country. In August, Cineplex also plans to host a live screening of the ESL One Cologne 2015 gaming tournament from Cologne, Germany.
Video games aren’t an entirely new area of business for Cineplex. The company first put gamers on its radar in 2008 when it began renting out downtime at theatres to Xbox 360 players who wanted to compete on the big screen. In 2013, a Cineplex theatre in Toronto hosted a tournament to promote “EA Sports NHL14” on PlayStation 3 before the game was released in stores.

Wide world
Where the lions come out to play Janice Frioult from Maritime Travel tells of her travels in Kenya, and close encounters with rhinos, giraffe, zebra and gazelle
While we were in Amboseli National Park we paid a visit to the Maasai Tribe that lived near our resort. We were welcomed by the son the the chief and were shown their simple way of life. The village was enclosed by a circular fence of thorn bushes and within the fence, three room huts made of clay and cattle dung stood. In the evenings the center of this circle is where the tribe’s herd of goats and cows spent the night. Their lifestyle is very simple, but their presence is special and their colorful bright red robes and beads set them visually apart. Next stop Mount Kenya National Park. The drive took us through the agriculture lands of Kenya. Fruit and vegetable stands lined the roadway and tea and coffee crops were visible as we made our way north. We stayed the evening at
the rustic Serena Mountain Lodge which overlooked a water hole. We had spectacular views from our room as well as several viewing areas and enjoyed visits from the massive water buffalo to the tiny Genet cat. It was a little cooler in the evenings and hot water bottles tucked into our beds were part of the evening turn down service at this lovely lodge. The next day we crossed the equator on route to the Samburu Game Reserve. Here we stayed at the Samburu Tented Camp. My wake up call in the mornings was fresh hot coffee delivered to our tent, we were absolutely “glamping”! This game reserve is essentially a very hot, dry, lava plain. It is prone to a large variety of animals moving in search of water and pasture. Giraffe, elephant, zebra, eland, impala, lion, leopard, beisa oryx! What incredible game
drives we had! Sweetwaters Game Sanctuary was our next stop. Here we visited the Chimpanzee Sanctuary founded by conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall. On our game drive the views across the plains of Ol Pejeta with the combination of the amazing wildlife made for another unforgettable experience. We saw rhinos, the last of our big 5 accomplished! Ostrich, giraffe, lions, zebra and gazelle also played into the mix. Last stop, before heading back to Nairobi, was the Masai Mara Game Reserve. A wonderful “Flintstones” like resort, Mara Serena Lodge was set upon a hill with magnificent views onto the Mara plains and the wildlife that live here. Our three game drives here were bonuses, except for the elusive male lion, we had seen almost everything, So on our last drive we set out in
Two lions stop for a drink on a hot day in Kenya. search of him. Within two minutes, there he was, sleeping on his back, legs in the air. We stood, cameras ready for
over two hours hoping he would move....No luck! We had a lot of laughs and profound discussions waiting for
Simba to move, it was a great end to our journey, a journey I will not ever forget. From the beauty of the scenery
the magnificence of the wild life to the the smiles and warmth of the people of Kenya, it was truly amazing.

Many Canadians engage in regular spring cleaning rituals like checking fire alarms, rotating mattresses and planting gardens. They’re tedious and time-consuming tasks, but they need to be tended to by responsible homeowners. Those responsibilities shouldn’t end at household chores. Spring is as good a time as any to dust off and polish up all things personal finance. You’re already sorting through slips and statements to file your taxes, so you might as well take some time to focus on the little things that you can do to improve your finances. I’m a big fan of consolidating accounts. Having multiple bank or investment accounts may mean more fees and less visibility. But consolidating other accounts – like utilities and insurance – with a single provider is also a surefire way to put money in your pocket. Make sure everything you can bundle is bundled. And if you see a promotion from other providers that beats your current pricing for phone, cable, Internet or insurance, call your provider. They would prefer to offer you similar pricing over losing you. It’s cheaper for most companies to provide you with a discount and keep you than it is for them to
replace you with another customer. Beyond that, consider what you really need and don’t need. Home-phone land lines are so passé. And how can $100-a-month cable bill compete with streaming services that are a fraction of the cost? Scan your bank statements. Look for recurring monthly costs like memberships or subscriptions that you don’t need and should probably cancel anyway. And if you’re not regularly in the habit of scanning your statements, consider a budget app to start tracking your spending proactively instead of reactively. Cash in your accumulated rewards. Whether it’s points or miles or whatever else, make use of them on gift cards or financial rewards and free up your cash flow for investing or debt repayment. Do you have gift cards from Christmas that you haven’t used? There are websites that will buy your unused gift cards so you can turn them into cash. Do you still have credit card balances from the holidays? Hopefully not, but if you do, or if you’re carrying credit card debt generally, contact your credit provider and request a rate
reduction. Chances are they’ll go for it rather than losing you to a 0% promotional rate from a competitor. While you’re at it, you might as well check your credit report and make sure everything is up to date. This will help protect against identify theft by ensuring that no fraudulent credit applications have been made in your name and also prevent any potential errors on your report from impacting your credit score. The two national credit bureaus in Canada are TransUnion and Equifax. Combine your spring cleaning with your spring financial clean-up. If you have furniture or other personal items that might be of value to someone else, consider selling them online so you can kill two birds with one stone – getting rid of stuff you don’t need and getting money for them. I’d be inclined to do a financial audit each spring so that you’re checking, reviewing and haggling once a year. It can be tough for busy people to block off time to focus on finances, so don’t fall victim to personal financial procrastination. Try to use spring cleaning season to focus on more than just your house – and get your financial house in order as well.

Rare platinum ring sells for $30.3 million at auction
GENEVA - A rare Burmese ruby in a platinum ring with diamonds sold for $30.3 million at auction, setting a world auction record for any ruby and for any stone by Cartier, according to Sotheby’s. The buyer and history of the piece, with the ruby weighing in at 25.59 carats, was not disclosed. It was auctioned Tuesday as part of the annual Magnificent and Noble Jewels sale by Sotheby’s Geneva. The price of the cushion-shaped “Sunrise Ruby” had been estimated prior to the sale at $12 million to $18 million. It is known for its “pigeon blood” red colour and set between heptagon-shaped diamonds weighing 2.47 and 2.70 carats. The piece is signed Cartier. The auction house called a natural ruby from Burma of this size and colour extremely rare. The ring broke an auction record for any ruby per carat. Associated Press
British singer postpones planned flight to ISS
MOSCOW - A company helping British soprano Sarah Brightman prepare a flight to the International Space Station says she has put off the mission. Space Adventures said in a statement Wednesday that the 54-year-old singer announced that “for personal family reasons her intentions have had to change and she is postponing her cosmonaut training and flight plans at this time.” Brightman, who was to blast off to the station in a Russian Soyuz rocket on Sept. 1, said in March that she is working with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, her ex-husband, to create a song she will sing in space.

Shell exploration plans in Alaska stoking concern C ANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY - Royal Dutch Shell’s plans to explore for oil off Alaska’s northwestern coast are being closely watched in Canada with a mixture of hope and concern. Earlier this week, the energy giant cleared a major hurdle when the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management approved a multi-year exploration plan in the Chukchi Sea, though it still needs to obtain other federal and state permits. Shell isn’t active in the Canadian Arctic these days, but both proponents and critics say the U.S. decision has implications for Canada. “It’s a good signal from where we sit,” said David Ramsay, the Northwest Territories minister in charge of resource development.
“The resource in the Beaufort could rival the Gulf of Mexico. We want to ensure it’s done right and I think that’s why folks are watching this closely.” Ramsay said he was encouraged by the way in which Shell has been partnering with indigenous-run businesses in Alaska, and imagines it would work much the same way in his territory. Doug Matthews, an energy consultant who works in the North, said a past effort by Shell to drill in the Arctic does not inspire confidence. On New Year’s Eve 2012, its drilling ship, the Kulluk, ran aground in a severe Alaska storm. “I would worry that if they had another incident in the Chukchi program, that would really inflame public opposition to any Arctic drilling,” said Matthews.
“I’m comfortable with our regulatory regime in the Beaufort through the National Energy Board, but I worry that a miscue on the part of Shell could result in a real Arctic drilling chill for years to come. That’s what troubles me the most.” Environmental groups are enraged by the U.S. approval and have been planning big protests in Seattle, where Shell wants to keep its drilling equipment before it heads north. “This is really, really bad news and it’s outrageous that they can go ahead in spite of massive opposition,” Greenpeace spokesman Diego Creimer said from aboard the Esperanza, one of the environmental group’s ships that’s currently docked in North Vancouver.
Swedish peace group launches gay-rights sonar system ASSOCIATED PRESS
STOCKHOLM Swedish peace activists who argue that military hardware isn’t the best way to deter Russian submarines have launched their own underwater defence installation: a gay-themed sonar system. In a publicity stunt dubbed “Operation The
Singing Sailor,” the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society placed a sonar device in the Stockholm archipelago sending out a Morse code message saying “This way if you are gay.” The device also features a neon sign with a sailor waving a white flag and the words “Welcome to Sweden - Gay
since 1944” - the year Sweden legalized homosexuality. The group is urging the Swedish government to resist calls for re-armament after a weeklong hunt in October for a suspected Russian submarine, saying “love and peace across boundaries is more important than ever.”

NEWS UN-type body needed to administer Alberta’s Notley puts future space mining: NASA scientist halt to shredding C ANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - Prospecting on the moon or on asteroids is probably a couple of decades away, a NASA scientist told a symposium on planetary and terrestrial mining Tuesday. The event, part of the Canadian Institute of Mining’s annual convention, heard that issues like ownership and management of resources in outer space still have to be worked out. One of the main problems is that no country owns anything in space.
One Canadian geologist suggests a regulatory system is needed for any future mining in space. Joe Hinzer said the mining industry on Earth is regulated by an international committee under a United Nations umbrella that sets standards in different countries. “I think that’s the kind of approach that might work for extraterrestrial stuff as well,” he said. Hinzer also cited Europe as an example, noting it has developed its

An artist rendition of Steins asteroid. own parliament and legal system and operates in a manner similar to that of the United Nations. But John Gruener, a planetary scientist at NASA, doesn’t expect space prospecting to happen any time soon. He said in an interview that many space agencies are currently concentrating on small robotic missions to the moon. “They can be accomplished in the near term,
in five to 10 years,” Gruener added. The missions, he said, will focus on ice water that’s already been discovered in lunar craters. “The hope is we can separate the water from the other chemical constituents and then use the water to drink, use the oxygen to breathe and use the hydrogen and oxygen as rocket propellants,” he said. Gruener pointed out that Canada has a “trea-
sure trove” of lunar rovers that are being developed and can be used to search for water-ice deposits. But he added that space-mining companies are still in the embryonic stages of prospecting and are studying to see if it’s economically viable. “I see the real utilization of resources in space probably a couple of decades away - at the most optimistic,” Gruener said.
EDMONTON - Alberta’s incoming premier has called an immediate halt to shredding in all government departments amid reports of documents being illegally destroyed. Cheryl Oates, spokeswoman for Rachel Notley, said Wednesday the premier-designate asked senior civil servants to impose the ban until the NDP assume power in the coming days. “These are important documents and it’s important that they be preserved to ensure a smooth transition into government,” said Oates. There will be a review on the rules surrounding disposal of documents to see if any improvements or tougher measures are needed, she added. Opposition parties have been demanding action after bags and
bags of shredded documents were seen being hauled away from the legislature after the Progressive Conservatives lost their 44-year hold on power in last week’s election. Government rules allow routine paperwork to be shredded, but documents that deal with ministry affairs or with information related to an access-to-information request must be saved. There are fines for non-compliance. Earlier Wednesday, two government watchdogs announced an investigation into accusations of illegal document shredding in the Environment Department. Public interest commissioner Peter Hourihan and privacy commissioner Jill Clayton said the probe was based on an anonymous tip and two letters.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Key City Theatre presents the Great Lake Swimmers FOR THE TOWNSMAN
The Key City Theatre, along with Western Financial Group, are presenting the latest in the concert season as the Great Lake Swimmers and guests will be performing in Cranbrook on Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. Based in Toronto, the Great Lake Swimmers will headline the show, while The Weather Station and the Good Ol’ Goats will also be performing in support. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre box office or online at www.keycitytheatre. com GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS Great Lake Swimmers is a Canadian band built around the melodic folk rock songs of singer-songwriter Tony Dekker. Originally from Wainfleet, Ontario, the band is currently based in Toronto. The current touring line-up includes Tony Dekker on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica, Erik Arnesen on banjo, electric guitar and harmonium, Joshua Van Tassel on drums, Bret Higgins on upright bass and Miranda Mulholland on violin and backing vocals. Past members included Julie Fader on backing vocals, Sandro Perri on guitar, and Greg Millson and Colin Huebert on drums. The band’s style has been compared to Red House Painters, Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Neil Young, as well as Will Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy) and Sufjan Stevens. Dekker has said his influences include Gram Parsons and Hank Williams.The band released two albums, Great Lake Swimmers in 2003 and Bodies and Minds in 2005, on the independent label (weewerk) before signing to the larger Nettwerk in 2007. The band released its third full-length album, Ongiara, on March 27, 2007 in Canada and in May for the rest of the world. Although signing to Nettwerk early in 2007, Great Lake Swimmers continue to be managed by (weewerk). In September 2007, (weewerk) released a limited edition vinyl version of Ongiara.
It was available in Australia through native indie label Speak N Spell. Their fourth album, Lost Channels, was released on March 31, 2009. It was short-listed for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize, and was nominated for a Juno Award, in the category of Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Group, and a Canadian Folk Music Award. In 2009 Great Lake Swimmers took part in an interactive documentary series called City Sonic. The series, which featured 20 Toronto artists, had Tony Dekker talk about his daily underground commute along Toronto’s subway system. In 2011, Dekker participated in the documentary series National Parks Project, visiting Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia with filmmaker Keith Behrman and musicians Daniela Gesundheit and Old Man Luedecke. The band’s fifth studio album, New Wild Everywhere, was released on April 3, 2012. The band also composed an instrumental soundtrack for photographer Ian Coristine’s One in a Thousand, an e-book of photography from the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, also released in April 2012. Dekker released a solo album, Prayer of the Woods, in October 2013. The album includes eight original songs as well as covers of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Carefree Highway” and Human Sexual Response’s “Land of the Glass Pinecones”. In 2014 he followed up with Sings 10 Years of Zunior, an album of covers of other Canadian artists — including Old Man Luedecke, Chad VanGaalen, Christine Fellows, Ohbijou, Rae Spoon, Matt Mays, Martin Tielli, Jennifer Castle and Cadence Weapon — released to mark the 10th anniversary of Canadian web music store Zunior. The sixth studio album by the full band, A Forest of Arms, was released in April of this year. THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station, the musical project of Toronto artist Tamara
The Great Lake Swimmers, along with the Weather Station and the Good Ol’ Goats, will be performing on May 31 at the Key City Theatre. Lindeman, has announced a new album, entitled Loyalty. The project’s first release on the Outside Music label in Canada wrestles with knotty notions of faithfulness and faithlessness to our idealism, our constructs of character, our memories, and to our family, friends, and lovers representing a bold step forward into new sonic and psychological inscapes. It’s a natural progression for Lindeman’s acclaimed song writing practice. Recorded at La Frette Studios just outside
Paris in the winter of 2014, in close collaboration with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), Loyalty crystallizes her lapidary song craft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits, redolent of fellow Canadians Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Wiffen, but utterly her own. Loyalty brings a freshly unflinching self-examining gaze and emotional & musical control to The Weather Station’s songs. Sonically, the record is a quietly radical statement, with
certain passages achieving an eerie harmonic and rhythmic tension new to The Weather Station. An extraordinary singer and instrumentalist on Loyalty, Lindeman plays guitar, banjo, keys, and vibes but she has always been a songwriter’s songwriter, recognized for her intricate, carefully worded verse, filled with double
meanings, ambiguities, and complex metaphors. Though more moving than ever, her writing here is almost clinical in its discipline, its deliberate wording and exacting delivery, evoking similarly idiosyncratic songsters from Linda Perhacs to Bill Callahan. Lyrically, Loyalty inverts and involutes the language of confession, of regret, of our most private and muddled mental feelings, by externalizing those anxieties through exquisite observation of the things and people we accumulate, the modest meanings accreted during even our most ostensibly mundane domestic moments. THE GOOD OL’ GOATS The Good Ol’ Goats begin their journey nearly four years ago, nestled away in the mountains of the East Kootenays where they call Cranbrook B.C
home. Since forming they’ve gone on to awards such as 2nd Place in 2013 CBC’s nationwide Searchlight Contest, 2013 Artist of the Year – Kootenay Music Awards and 2013 Best Roots and Blues Album – Kootenay Music Awards. This energetic band brings their own brand of bluegrass alt-folk to the dance floor with infectious rhythms, beautiful acoustic instrumentation, heartfelt melodies, five part vocal harmonies and clever lyrics that are unexpectedly mature, nuanced and just plain fun. The group features Nolan Ackert (lead vocals, banjo, guitar, Julian Bueckert (drums), Clayton Parsons (guitar, dobro, banjo), Theo Moore (bass, vocals), Joelle Winkel (vocals, auxiliary percussion) and Danica Martin (trumpet, vocals, piano).

Questions arise in Iraq friendly-fire death Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Canada has no binding agreement with Iraq that governs the conduct of military forces and is making no attempt to negotiate one, despite the lessons of the deadly friendly fire incident two months ago. The revelation is contained in a recently tabled House of Commons reply to a series of written questions posed by the New Democrats.
In the response, the Harper government says it hasn’t pursued a so-called status-of-forces agreement with Iraq. It says it has worked with the government of Haider al-Abadi in Baghdad to ensure appropriate protection for Canadian soldiers taking part in the campaign against the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Harris said that would be particularly useful in light of the friendly-fire incident and would’ve guaranteed a structured follow-up with the Iraqi and Kurdish authorities, rather an ad-hoc approach. The government’s written response describes an agreement as just one of several mechanisms the government can use. “It seems as if short cuts are being taken here,” said Harris, who described the government’s legal justification for bombing Syria as similarly sketchy.

bat mission extension passed by Parliament expanded airstrikes by CF-18s into Syria after the Harper government had said - at the outset of the campaign - that it wouldn’t go there. Bombing a sovereign nation without its consent is frowned upon in the international community, but can be legally justified under United Nations provisions if it is considered an act of self defence - or the nation in question has lost control of its territory, posing a global danger. The Harper government used both arguments at various times, but some legal experts have questioned them, saying the self-defence argument requires proof of an imminent threat.

tus-of-forces agreement is complex, takes time to arrange and is not usually pursued in time-sensitive situations. But the fact the combat mission has been extended means Canada will be involved in Iraq for a while, and the friendly-fire death of Sgt. Andrew Doiron clearly demonstrates there’s a need for a binding legal framework, said NDP defence critic Jack Harris. “I don’t know how you can have an extended mission without one,” Harris said Wednesday. “How we can get by on a diplomatic note is something I cannot comprehend.” A status of forces agreement covers not only the conduct of foreign troops in a country

striking northern Israel, several thousand missiles that can reach Tel Aviv and central Israel and hundreds more that can strike the entire country. Most of the weapons have been transferred to Lebanon through wartorn Syria, coming from Hezbollah’s key allies, the Syrian government and Iran, he said. The official showed reporters satellite photos of what Israeli intelligence believes are Hezbollah positions in dozens of Shiite villages in southern Lebanon. The photos were marked with dozens of red icons, signalling what are believed to be missile launchers, arms depots, underground tunnels and command posts. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity under military guidelines, said an estimated 200 villages have been turned into “military strongholds.” One photo showed the village of Muhaybib, with a population of around 1,000 people and 90 buildings, of which more than a third had been marked as Hezbollah assets. In the larger village of Shaqra, with some 4,000 people, Israeli intelligence identified Hezbollah targets in around 400 out of some 1,200 buildings.

Keeping Taxes Low
• Due to measures our government has introduced, small business taxes will be almost 50% lower, which will allow businesses to create jobs and economic growth. • Indeed, since 2006, we’ve cut taxes over 180 times, reducing the overall tax burden to its lowest level in 50 years. • Our new family measures, alongside others introduced by the Government since 2006, will provide tax relief and benefits of up to about $6,600 for an average Canadian family of four.
Economic Action Plan 2015 continues our record of reducing taxes, with measures such as: • Reducing the Small Business Tax Rate from 11% to 9% by 2019, saving Canadian small businesses billions of dollars. • Increasing the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Annual Contribution Limit to help make it easier for all Canadians to save for their futures. • Reducing the Minimum Withdrawal Factors for the Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) to allow seniors to preserve more of their retirement savings. • Introducing a New Home Accessibility Tax Credit for seniors and persons with disabilities, allowing Canadians to make improvements to the safety, access, and functionality in their homes.
These actions build on our record to date, which includes: • Cutting the lowest personal income tax rate to 15%. • Increasing the amount Canadians can earn without paying tax. • Introducing pension income splitting for seniors. • Reducing the GST from 7% to 5%, putting more than $1,000 back in the pockets of an average family. • Introducing and enhancing the Working Income Tax Benefit. • Introducing the Tax Free Savings Account – the most important personal savings vehicle since RRSPs. • Reducing the small business tax rate from 12% to 11%. • Steadily lowering the general business tax rate from 21% to 15%. • Increasing the Age Credit and the Pension Income Credit. • Introducing a temporary First-Time Donor’s Tax Credit to encourage more Canadians, and those who have not donated recently, to give to charities. Overall, we have removed over 1 million low-income Canadians from the tax rolls. (380,000 seniors). Under our Government, the share of Canadians living in low-income families is at its lowest level in three decades.

PHILADELPHIA Rescue crews searched mangled train cars for other possible victims Wednesday after an Amtrak passenger train derailed and overturned on the nation’s busiest rail corridor, killing at least six people and injuring more than 200, some critically. Philadelphia’s mayor said the train’s data recorder has been recovered, but officials warned that the number of people unaccounted for was not yet confirmed after Tuesday night’s crash and that search-and-rescue work was taking precedence over the investigation. “It’s a devastating scene,” said Robert Sumwalt of the National Transportation Safety Board. The rail corridor be-
tween New York and Washington remained closed as investigators looked for what went wrong. President Barack Obama called the derailment “a tragedy that touches us all.” Amtrak said the train was carrying 238 passengers and five crew members. Amid fears that the death toll could rise, Mayor Michael Nutter said some passengers listed on the Amtrak manifest might not have boarded the train, while others might not have checked in with authorities. The mayor said some of the seven train cars, including the engine, “completely overturned, on their side, ripped apart.” The train, travelling from Washington, D.C. to New York City,
lurched to the side and flew off the tracks at a notorious curve not far from the scene of one of the nation’s deadliest train wrecks more than 70 years ago. Passengers scrambled through the windows of toppled cars to escape. At least 10 were hospitalized in critical condition. Injuries included burns and broken bones. An Associated Press video software architect was among those killed. Jim Gaines, a 48-yearold father of two, had attended meetings in Washington. His death was confirmed by his wife, Jacqueline. The train conductor survived and was expected to give a statement to police. The train also had a video camera in its front end that could yield clues to what

Police search the train car at the Amtrak crash site. happened, Sumwalt said. Passenger Jillian Jorgensen, 27, said the train was going “fast enough for me to be worried” when it began a hard bank to the right. The train derailed, and the lights went out. Jorgensen said she “flew across the train” and landed underneath some seats. Jorgensen said she managed to wriggle free as passengers screamed. She saw one man lying still, his face covered in blood, and a woman with a broken leg. “It was terrifying and awful, and as it was happening it just did not feel like the kind of thing you could walk away from, so I feel very lucky,” Jorgensen said in an email to The Associ-

ated Press. “The scene in the car I was in was total disarray and people were clearly in a great deal of pain.” The area where the derailment occurred is not far from the scene of one of the deadliest U.S. train accidents: the 1943 derailment of The Congressional Limited, from Washington to New York, which killed 79 people. Amtrak said rail service on the Northeast Corridor between New York and Philadelphia had been stopped. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy was on the train and tweeted photos of firefighters helping other people in the wreckage. “Pray for those injured,” he said.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Coal Mountain Phase 2 Project Open House and Invitation to Comment Teck Coal Limited (Proponent) is proposing to extend the working life of the Coal Mountain mine by developing and operating the proposed Coal Mountain Phase 2 Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be located approximately 15 km South of Sparwood, British Columbia, and would produce an estimated 76.5 million metric tonnes of clean coal over the estimated mine life of 34 years. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. This task is done through the Valued Components Selection Document.
At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent. EAO accepts public comments in the following ways: •By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca •By Mail: Karen Christie Executive Project Director Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 •By Fax: 250-356-7477 An electronic copy of the Valued Components Selection Document and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.
Open House

Hosmer Community Centre Front Street, Hosmer (next to the Hosmer Fire Hall) June 4, 2015 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Invitation to Comment There are 30 days for the public to submit comments in relation to Valued Components Selection. The comment period will begin on May 25, 2015 and end on June 24,2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to Valued Components Selection will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects—environmental, economic, social, heritage and health—that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process.
Fernie Heritage Library 492 Third Ave, Fernie Coal Mountain Operations Main Gate Corbin Road, Corbin If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a problem with one of my best friends, and I hope you can help. “Monique” and I recently split the cost of a hotel room so we could enjoy a weekend of shopping and relaxation. We experienced a few problems with the room, nothing major, but Monique complained to the manager and got a coupon for a free night on her next visit. I was excited until she told me she intended to use it with her husband because she’s always wanted to go there with him. I didn’t say anything to Monique, but why does this refund belong only to her? We’ve talked about returning to the place in a few months, and I think the coupon should be used for the two of us. I will find it really difficult to come back here with Monique if I can’t get past this. Would you please explain why she feels this is hers when I paid for half of the room? I wouldn’t care quite as much except that we always use my car and Monique only pays for gas now and then. -Not Trying To Be Selfish Dear Not Trying: Monique may feel that the refund belongs to her because she was the one who complained. But both of you were inconvenienced by this room, and the refund should be shared. Tell Monique you believe it would be fair to use the refund for your next shopping excursion together. If she refuses, you are under no obligation to return there with her. She will know why. Dear Annie: I am a woman, 5-foot-10 and 240 pounds. I wear a size 12E men’s shoe. Why do retail stores discriminate against tall women? They have petites, plus-sizes and juniors, while I am lucky to find a pair of pants anywhere, let alone something stylish. I’m stuck between ugly and uglier. Retailers assume all overweight women are short and round. I’m a size 14, but clothing in that size is never long enough. All I want is a plain T-shirt or a nice pair of jeans that I can try on in a store. I have to order everything online and pay for shipping. When it arrives, I discover it doesn’t fit, and I have to return it and wait a week to get my money back. I’m sick of people telling me to buy men’s clothing. It’s degrading and depressing. Shoes are even worse. I had to make my own wedding shoes. I couldn’t even find them on sites for drag queens. Please let retailers and designers know that women come in all shapes and sizes, and once in a while, they should use a tall woman as a model. -- Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Here’s the problem with catering to every shape and size: Retailers need to make money. They stock what sells. They can sell a great many things for those of average height and average size, and they have discovered a big market for plus-size women. But apparently, there isn’t enough demand for clothes in your size. That is why ordering things online has become such big business, and it’s a blessing for those who don’t fit into standard sizes and cannot afford to have their clothing or shoes custom made. Please don’t give up looking. One of these days you will find an online store where the sizing works for you, and you won’t need to return everything.
