Jaylyn Spyksma takes aim with her compound bow at a 3D target this past weekend at the Cranbrook Archery Club Summer Shoot. Hosted out at the club range near Fort Steele, the event attracted more than 250 shooters that came out to test their abilities against lifelike 3D foam targets. There were three courses comprised of 15 targets each set real-life situations with many challenging and fun shots to make. There was also an extreme course for the hardcore shooters and other novelty events such as a poker shoot and a money dot shoot.
Bloodsucker Battle Cranbrook to bid for 2015 Mosquito Population Control Underway TOWNSMAN STAFF
The 2015 City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program is now underway. The Mosquito Control Contractor has been undertaking biological control efforts directed at the mosquitoes in the larval stage. This is achieved by identifying and monitoring sites where mosquito larvae are present and applying a granular mosquito larvicide, Aquabac. This larvicide contains a naturally occurring bacterium known as Bti, which targets mosquito larvae, but does not harm birds, mammals, beneficial insects or amphibians. This product is registered for this use in Canada.
Rainfall, snow melt and rising creek levels in the spring and summer result in the flooding of many low lying areas. Furthermore, standing water in yards, ditches and pools creates ideal conditions for mosquito developments sites. This year has been relatively dry so far, however, the monitoring to date has indicated very high concentrations of larvae in areas that are still holding water. “We started out this spring — we’ve seen really high concentrations of larvae in even small pockets of water,” said Kendra Lewis, the Mosquito Control Program coordinator.

2017 Grand Slam
City of Cranbrook looks to partner with Curling Club to get prestigious international curling event A R N E P E T RYS H E N
Cranbrook is hoping to play host to the 2017 Sportsnet Grand Slam of Curling. At Monday night’s meeting, city council agreed in principal to support a joint bid between the City of Cranbrook and the Cranbrook Curling Club to host the event, which would be held January 2017. Chris New, the City’s Leisure Development Manager, they are
also still working with Sportsnet to figure out all the aspects of the event. An agreement is still needed between the City and the Curling Club. “So that’s why we’re here now — we want your support to continue this process before we sign a contract,” New said. New noted that the terms that city staff have proposed for the joint venture reflect those
from the letter the curling club sent to council last month. “We’ve gone to that model,” New said. To host the event there is a capped fee of $150,000 — of which the Curling Club would cover 60 per cent — up to $90,000 — and the City would cover 40 per cent — up to $60,000.

CRANBROOK — The College of the Rockies (COTR) will receive $150,000 from the Ministry of Advanced Education to support training for workers affected by the Canfor mill slowdown in Canal Flats. The funding was announced in a government press release on Monday, May 25. It is aligned with B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint, and is provided to support towns and retrain workers affected by industry slowdowns or closures. A Community Transition Team is working with COTR to help identify the types of training that will best support future job prospects for Canal Flats workers. Training will complement the skills and experience the workers already have, along with helping them develop new skills. “Industry slowdowns can be a hard on a community, and that is why we are working with the College of the Rockies to retrain workers,” said Minister of Energy and Mines and MLA for Kootenay East Bill Bennett on behalf of Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. “Training will support the people of Canal Flats as they develop new skills to find high-demand careers and contribute to a diverse, strong and growing economy.” COTR offers cutting-edge training technology and instruction to help students study toward certificates, diplomas and applied bachelor degrees. Approximately 2,100 fulltime equivalent students study at the college each year. “Our college is committed to caring for students and building a strong foundation for the future of our communities,” said College of the Rockies president David Walls. “This funding will benefit the workers of Canal Flats and help the college deliver top-quality education to help these workers find career success.”

Over $12,000 raised for ShelterBox Gerry Warner
Thanks to Rotary, the Townsman and the generosity of numerous Cranbrook residents some $12,144 has been raised the past three weeks for ShelterBox Canada to send emergency aid to earthquake devastated Nepal. Since the 7.2 earthquake and succeeding quakes wreaked havoc on the isolated Himalayan country, ShelterBox International has delivered more than 2,600 of the famed green boxes containing emergency supplies and a waterproof 10-person tent to live in until more substantial accommodation can be provided. The money goes to replenish ShelterBox depots and warehouses around the world where the life-saving equipment is stored and deployed to the disaster site within hours of the calamity taking place. Rotary has partnered with the ShelterBox program for more than a decade because of its speedy response to the disaster scene. This is in the best tradition of why people become Rotarians, says Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary President Ursula Brigl. “In Rotary, it’s all about service above self, and when something like an earthquake occurs, we as Rotarians can see a real and urgent need to do something for others even though they live far beyond our local community. We always want to help and we can do that through ShelterBox.” Sunrise Rotary members alone donated $1,100 to the cause with Sunrise Rotary International Service Director Gerry Warner raising another $8,080 thanks to a feature article he wrote that appeared in the Cranbrook Townsman on April 30, 2015. “We were thrilled to see how quickly our dedicated readers jumped into action, as the donations started coming in immediately after the paper hit the streets,” said Karen Johnston, the publisher of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. “It is just another reason why the East Kootenay is
such an amazing place— we have great people who believe in community.” The article was based on a presentation Warner made to the students of T.M. Roberts Elementary School only days before the big quake struck. The students then took on Gordon Terrace Elementary School students in a “Toony Challenge” that raised $764 from the T.M Roberts students and a further $846 from the students of Gordon Terrace in the one-day Toony Challenge. “It’s extremely gratifying to see local students reaching into their own pockets, and maybe the pockets of mom and dad too, to provide emergency relief for the other side of the world,” said Warner. “And as a retired print journalist, it’s also gratifying to see that newspapers still have the power to move people like this.” The Townsman article alone pulled in $6,880 from generous Townsman readers, Warner says. Another $1,200 cheque came through to Rotary directly from a Cranbrook resident who read the Townsman article. Meanwhile Cranbrook Noon Rotary Club members donated $2,400 to pay for two ShelterBoxes after a lunch hour donation drive. Noon Club President Elect Carla Nelson, who organized the drive, says members donated generously after hearing about her own experiences in Nepal. “I was there last year and I just spoke to them a little about it and they were quick to donate.” Nelson says large parts of the Nepalese capital Kathmandu were “leveled” by the mammoth shaker and there was also massive damage in the isolated Nepalese villages beyond the country’s limited road system. But she says she’s sure the Nepalese people will persevere. “They’re a very resilient people and many of them are Buddhists so they don’t care as much about material things and they will just get on with their lives.”

Over 1,100 people came through the doors of the doors of the Cranbrook Curling Center on Saturday, May 23 and almost as many on Sunday for the fifth annual Kootenay Gun Show. The show, previously held in Kimberley, moved to Cranbrook this year. Exhibitors from as far away as Saskatchewan, Vancouver Island and many from Alberta offered guns for sale, reloading supplies, books, leather goods etc. and a big display of Second World War deactivated machine guns. Surprise visitors to the event were none other than Federal Minister of Justice Peter MacKay, along with MP David Wilks. They are shown above with gun show organizers Duncan Waugh and Rick Grant.
Busy Monday morning for Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Ne wel
Kimberley RCMP was very busy with three separate incidents between 1:30 and 5 a.m. Monday morning, May 25. Around 1:30 a.m. police responded to a crash on Knighton road. Once on scene officers found a vehicle had failed to negotiate a curve went off the road and flipped. The driver had fled the scene. A police service dog was called out but failed to locate the person responsible. Police will be following up. While patrolling for the driver noted above police observed a vehicle being driven erratically around 3:30 a.m. The vehicle was stopped and the driver showed signs of impairment. The breath demand was read but the woman refused to supply a sample. She was given a 90 day driving suspension under the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program. Her vehicle will also be impounded for 30 days.
Then around 5 a.m. police responded to a crash on highway 93/95 north of Skookumchuck. The driver was taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital for treatment. The officers noted signs of impairment and made a blood demand while at the hospital. The driver could face charges of impaired driving. In addition on May 22 shortly after midnight police apprehended an impaired driver just east of Kimberley on highway 95A. Police were conducting a road check at the time. A vehicle

He is now prohibited from driving for 90 days and his vehicle has been impounded for 30 days. This is an excellent example of our member’s commitment to their jobs and community. The two officers started their shift at 5:30 yesterday, one went home at 7:30, the other at 9:30 this morning for some well deserve rest.

Mosquito control underway At the Cranbrook Continued from page 1 “But we’ve treated — we’ve put a buffer — all around the City of Cranbrook now. “Everything’s been treated: Idlewild all the way up to the Alkalis, up by Echo Field, we treated the breakaways at Elizabeth Lake and we treated Pyatt Lake.” Lewis noted that at a site outside of city limits by the BC SPCA location, she was getting 500 larvae in half a cup of water. “So just to kind of put it in perspective, if we wouldn’t have gone out,
we’d definitely have a problem this year in Cranbrook,” she added. These mosquito development sites have received a first round of treatment with Aquabac. These sites will be continually monitored and treated throughout the spring and summer. The city also ask that residents do their part. Effective mosquito control requires the combined the efforts of individual property/homeowners with those of the City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program.
With water levels lower than average this year sources of standing water from around your property will have a huge potential for mosquito development. “Now it’s just kind of getting people to be really mindful of what to do in their own backyards with the rain,” Lewis continued. Some places to eliminate standing water include: • Clogged gutters and ditches • Trays under flower pots • Outside pets’ dishes • Children’s pools and

Slowpoke the Bull: Mellow enough for Kenny Bridge and Steve Mercandelli.
Syria: The Last Chance Saloon The fall of Ramadi to Islamic State troops on Wednesday was not a big deal. The city was deep inside IS-held territory, IS fighters had controlled 80 percent of it since March, and we already knew that the Iraqi army can’t fight. Even so, Islamic State is not going to take much more of Iraq. What it doesn’t already hold is either Shia or just not Arab at all (Kurdistan), and that is not fertile ground for Sunni Arab fanatics. The fall of Palmyra on Friday was a very big deal, because it was clear evidence that the Syrian army’s morale is starting to crumble. It was doing quite well until last summer and even regaining ground from the insurgents, but the tide has now turned. After every defeat and retreat, it gives up more easily at the next stop. It may be too late already, but at best the Syrian regime is now in the Last Chance Saloon. The Syrian army is very tired and short of manpower after four years of war, but what is really making the difference is that the insurgents are now united in two powerful groups rather than being split into dozens of bickering fragments. Unfortunately, both of those groups are Islamist fanatics. The Al Nusra Front had to fight very hard for Idlib, the northwestern provincial capital, in March, but Islamic State met little resistance when it took over the Damascus suburb of Yarmouk in April. And Palmyra and the adjacent gas fields, which the regime fought for months to defend last year, fell to Islamic State this month after just four days. It’s never possible to say when a hardpressed army will actually collapse, but the Syrian army is now in zone. If the Assad

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR
I would like to comment on the article in the Townsman regarding the “violent bull” which injured a beginner rider who sued a Vernon Rodeo company recently (“Novice rider says Slowpoke’s name was all bull:” Friday, May 22). I am also attaching a photo of Slowpoke, the bull who “fails to live up to his name.” What a joke this whole thing is! As you can see in the photo, Slowpoke was gentle enough to let the Marchand’s grandson sit on him in the rodeo arena. The Marchand family has provided gentle bulls and expert help to numerous young cowboys who want to be bullriders. Many “wannabe cowboys” have passed through their arena and taken advantage of their generous hospitality, some going on to be good bullriders and some deciding not to pursue it any further. To charge Ted and Wade with negligence is ludicrous. Coyote Creek Rodeo Company has been successful in the business for many years, and are very well thought of in the rodeo world. Coyote Creek has provided bulls for the Kimberley Dynamiters bullarama since its inception. As a matter of fact, Slowpoke was one of the bulls that Steve Mercandelli from Cranbrook Dodge, and Kenny Bridge from Bridge Interiors took a ride on at the 2014 event at the Civic Center in Kimberley.

regime does go under, Islamic State and the Nusra Front will take over all of Syria. What happens next would be very ugly. Islamic State and the Nusra Front are both “takfiri” groups who believe that Muslims who do not follow their own extreme version of Sunni Islam are “apostates”, not real Muslims, and that they deserve to be killed. Around one-third of Syria’s population are “apostates” by this definition – Alawites, other Shias, and Druze – and they are all at great risk. True, the Nusra Front has been less outspoken its intentions than IsGwynne about lamic State, but that’s just a question of timing and tacDyer tics. The basic ideology is the same, and the Nusra Front in power would be committed by its own religious beliefs to exactly the same murderous “cleansing” of the population. When religious fanatics tell you they intend to do something, it is wise to take them seriously. An Islamist victory in Syria could entail the death of millions. It would also cause panic in the neighbouring Arab countries, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Yet no nearby Arab country will put troops into Syria to stop the looming disaster, because they cannot imagine fighting fellow Sunnis in Syria, however extreme their doctrine, in order to save the Shia regime of Bashar al Assad. You don’t get the choices you would like to have. You only get the choices that are on the table, even if you are the president of the world’s only superpower. At this point Barack Obama has only two options: save the Syrian regime, or let it go under and live with the consequences. It’s not even clear that he can save it. He cannot and should not put American
troops on the ground in Syria, but he could provide military and economic aid to the Syrian regime – and, more importantly, put US airpower at the service of the Syrian army. Even that might not save Assad’s regime, but it would certainly help the morale of the army and the two-thirds of the population that still lives under his rule. With more and better weapons and US air support, the Syrian army might be able to catch its breath and regain its balance. It would be a gamble, and if Obama did that he would be alienating two major allies, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. But if he doesn’t do it, very bad things may follow. US planes are already bombing Islamic State (and the Nusra Front too, in practice) all over northern Syria, but they did not bomb the IS troops attacking Palmyra. That was a deliberate decision, not an oversight, even though Palmyra would probably not have fallen if Obama had given the order. The US President didn’t do that because he is still stuck in the fantasy-land of an American-trained “third force” that will defeat both Islamic State and the Assad regime in a couple of years’ time. Saving the Syrian regime is a deeply unattractive choice, because it is a brutally repressive dictatorship. Its only redeeming virtues are that it is not genocidal, and does not threaten all of the neighbours. Obama may have as little as a couple of months to come to terms with reality and make a decision. Waiting until the Syrian regime is already falling to intervene is not a good option; decision time is now. His reluctance to decide is entirely understandable, but rescuing Assad is the least bad option. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

B.C. goes long with LNG bid Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week. Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term. Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum. These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases. Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not.
NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert. “My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and BC VIEWS irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global marTom ket is swimming in gas and Fletcher will never support huge greenfield projects across B.C. For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities. This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern B.C., and Petronas took it over with this development in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand. Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental ap-
proval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal. Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years. The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

Cranbrook Bandits drop pair to Fort Macleod Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Fort Macleod Royals crowned the Cranbrook Bandits Sunday afternoon in Pincher Creek. Fresh off splitting a home-diamond doubleheader with the visiting Kootenai Valley Rangers Saturday afternoon, the Bandits were unable to get back into the win column Sunday, falling to the Royals in back-toback contests. The pair of losses drops the Bandits to 6-5 thus far in the 2015 American Legion Baseball season. In the opening game of the Sunday double dose, the Bandits jumped out to a 6-1 lead before losing to the Royals 7-6 in extra innings. Left-hander Tyler Thorn (0-1, 2.33 ERA) earned the start. Going four innings, Thorn struck out five batters and walked three while allowing three earned runs. He exited the game with no decision. Reliever Daniel Mercandelli (0-2, 14.00 ERA) was eventually tagged with the loss as he surrendered three hits and allowed one earned run. Cedar Kemp (.261/.419/.304) and Brandon Ouillette (.273/.432/.303) both went 2-for-5 at the plate, while Robert Nickell brought two runs across the plate. While the Royals rallied for victory
in the opener, it was the Bandits forced to rally in the back half of the doubleheader, though their efforts fell short in a 13-12 loss. The fifth inning was a busy one at the plate for both squads. Fort Macleod built an 11-3 advantage with a five-run effort in the top of the fifth, before the Bandits battled back into the contest with a six-run showing in the bottom of the fifth. Right-hander Connor Armstrong (1-1, 3.62 ERA) earned the start on the bump, going four innings deep and striking out two, while issuing four walks. He took the loss after allowing four earned runs. Armstrong (.250/.500/.375) helped fuel the offense, going 1-for-3 at the plate while knocking in two runs. The 5-foot-9 native of Kimberley also managed to cross home twice himself. Carson Meggison (.227/.400/.227) managed to go 2-for-4 at the the dish to lead the Bandits with a pair of hits. The Bandits hit the road once again this coming weekend, visiting Whitefish to face the Glacier ‘B’ Twins on Saturday, May 31, before taking on the Libby Loggers on Sunday, May 31. Next home action for the Bandits comes Saturday, June 6, when the Mission Valley Mariners visit Confederation Park.
Former WHL coach facing more sexual assault charges Graham James facing criminal charges of repeated sexual assault CANADIAN PRESS
SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. - Convicted pedophile and former WHL coach Graham James is facing more sex-related charges just weeks before his scheduled statutory release from prison. Saskatchewan RCMP say James is facing criminal charges of repeated sexual assault that is alleged to have occurred when he was coaching the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League in the early 1990s. The RCMP said in a release Monday that they began an investigation after the detachment in Swift Current, Sask., received a complaint from a former Broncos player in September 2013. Police say a lawyer for James appeared Monday in Swift Current provincial court where the case was put over to June 19. The judge issued a publication ban on details
that might identify the alleged victim. Prosecutor Glen Herman said James has waived a preliminary hearing and elected to be tried in Court of Queen’s Bench by judge alone. None of the charges has been proven in court. James is serving out the final weeks of a sentence for sexually abusing retired NHL star Theoren Fleury and Fleury’s younger cousin, Todd Holt, when they played for him with the WHL Moose Jaw Warriors. James served 3.5 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty in 1997 to sex offences against former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy and two others. Kennedy played for the Broncos at the time of the assaults. The Canadian Hockey Association imposed a lifetime ban on James and he disappeared from public view when his sentence expired in
2000. He quietly applied for and received a pardon from the National Parole Board in 2007, prompting national outrage and a tightening of the rules. James came back to Canada from Mexico in 2010 to face more charges after Fleury came forward in his autobiography with allegations that the coach had sexually abused him. James pleaded guilty and was initially sentenced to two years in 2012 for sexually abusing Fleury and Holt in the 1980s. An Appeal Court increased the sentence to five years. Although James has been eligible for full parole, he has never made an application. He is scheduled for full release later this summer. James was named man of the year by The Hockey News in 1989 after coaching the Broncos to a WHL title and Memorial Cup.

Victoria Cougars to host Cyclone Taylor Cup B.C. Hockey announces VIJHL squad to host 2016 B.C. Junior ‘B’ championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The road to B.C. Junior ‘B’ hockey supremacy will travel off the mainland and through Victoria in 2016. B.C. Hockey awarded the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup, British Columbia’s Junior ‘B’ provincial championship, to the Victoria Cougars of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) Monday morning. The tournament will run from April 7 to 10, 2016. “On behalf of the Victoria Cougars Junior Hockey Club, I’d like to say that we are honoured to be selected to host the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup,” said Tom Arlidge, director at large for the Victoria Cougars, in a B.C. Hockey press release. “I know that our board of directors, volunteers and coaches will work together to produce what we hope will be the best Cyclone Taylor Cup to date.” The Cyclone Taylor Cup pits the best of the best from B.C. Junior ‘B’ hockey against one another. The four-team tournament features league champions from each of the province’s three Ju-
nior ‘B’ hockey leagues -- the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) and VIJHL -along with the host team. “[Victoria] provided a solid bid with strong indicators of hosting a successful event,” said Sean Orr, senior manager of communications and events for B.C. Hockey. “We went through our process to formally review the bid and follow up with the host c o m m i t t e e. From our review, it looks like they will be hosting a first-class event that can continue on from the great job that Mission did [in 2015].” B.C. Hockey did not reveal the number of bids received for the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup, stating “multiple bids” were submitted. B.C. Hockey reviews a broad list of factors when examining host
bids for the Cyclone Taylor Cup, including but not limited to: presented budget, volunteer pool, media, ticketing and sponsorship. According to Orr, the venue for the tournament will be announced at a later date by the Cougars. The Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt is home to the Cougars for all VIJHL home dates. In 2015, the Kimberley D ynamiters ventured to the Cyclone Taylor Cup after claiming Kimberley’s first KIJHL championship since 1980 when the Kimberley Knights took the title. Hosted by the Mission Outlaws of the PJHL, the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup was won by the Campbell River Storm of the VIJHL. The Storm knocked off the Dynamiters 6-5 in the championship game. The winner of the Cyclone Taylor Cup ad-
vances to compete for the Keystone Cup -Western Canada’s Junior ‘B’ hockey championship. The Storm also went on to win the 2015 Keystone Cup. The 2016 edition of the Keystone Cup is set to be hosted by the Extreme Hockey Regina Capitals of the Prairie Junior Hockey League. The 2016 Keystone Cup will run from April 14 to 17. Junior ‘B’ champions from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario compete for the Keystone Cup. Hosting opportunities for the Cyclone Taylor Cup rotate on a three-year basis between each of the province’s three Junior ‘B’ hockey leagues. With the PJHL’s Mission Outlaws hosting in 2015 and the VIJHL’s Victoria Cougars hosting in 2016, the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League will host the 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The application process to host the 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup will open in January 2016. Kimberley previously hosted the 2008 Cyclone Taylor Cup.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I meet up with a group of family and close friends every week for lunch. One couple in this group (a close family member and her spouse) constantly blow their noses during our get-togethers. They use cloth handkerchiefs, which are then reused multiple times, and her husband picks his nose, as well. It is nauseating to all of us, not to mention to other diners nearby. A few of the couples have told us they will not attend any more lunches unless absolutely necessary. We do not want a family feud, but I think we need to do something before our social gatherings fall apart. The one with the most appalling manners is a college graduate with an excellent job. You would think he would know better, but it’s difficult to tell him anything. How do we fix this without alienating them altogether? -- Sickened and Frustrated Dear Sickened: People who believe they are entitled to nauseate others because they have sinus issues are not likely to listen to anyone. Some friends and family tolerate these unpleasant encounters because they value the person enough to put up with the constant nose blowing, no matter how unappetizing. Yet these tolerated friends do not seem to give the same value to their companions’ sensitivities. (There is no excuse for picking one’s nose.) While we understand and sympathize with folks who have terrible allergies and need to dab at their noses frequently, that is not the same as major nose and throat clearing where mucus exits the system. For those moments, a trip to the restroom is called for, even if that means absenting yourself from the table more often than you’d like. The other alternative, of course, is to meet at a place where you will not be eating. It’s the combination of food and snot that makes this so unpleasant. Dear Annie: This is for “Hopeless,” who likes a boy who asked for her phone number, and now she is waiting for him to call, which he hasn’t. I could have written that letter. I, too, liked a guy, and after six months, he asked a mutual friend for my phone number. But he never called. Another six months went by while I waited. Finally, I asked him out. It turns out, he was so shy he couldn’t make the call. Even after we began dating, it took him three years to ask me to marry him because he was so afraid I’d turn him down -- even though we were only seeing each other and I loved him. So, I’d like to tell her to hang in there. Her guy may be terribly shy and inexperienced, so be patient and take it slow. If he’s anything like my guy, he’ll be worth the wait. We’ve been married for 30 years now and are still going strong. -- Been There Dear Been: A lot of young women don’t realize that guys can be shy, no matter how sure of themselves they may seem on the surface. It takes courage to ask a girl out, and rejection can be hard to take. Women have lived with this for centuries, but we don’t always consider that guys may have the same insecurities.

Wildfire forces 2,000 people from homes in northern Alberta C anadian Press
WABASCA, Alta. - A wildfire burning in northern Alberta has forced about 2,000 people from their homes. Cyndi Taron with the Municipal District of Opportunity says a state of emergency is in place for the area, about 330 kilometres north of Edmonton. She says about 1,000 residents of Wabasca and another 1,000 people from Bigstone Cree Nation have checked into reception centres in Calling Lake and Athabasca. She says Mounties are knocking on doors to ensure everyone knows about the evacuation order, but some people are refusing to leave. The out-of-control blaze first prompted an order to leave on Saturday, but residents were allowed to return that evening after it was contained. They were forced out again Sunday afternoon when wind pushed the flames past a fireguard. “It just goes to show you how warm and dry it is out there,” wildfire information officer Geoffrey Driscoll said Monday. He said the fire, about two square kilometres in size, was one of 29 fires burning in the province. The government was looking at possibly issuing a provincewide fire ban, he added.
