New wheels, Five arrested in Cranbrook new freedom

Three drug search warrants executed simultaneously CPL. C. NE WEL For the Bulletin

RCMP executed three search warrants in Cranbrook simultaneously Friday morning (Dec 4) resulting in the arrest of five persons and seizure of drugs, cash and a firearms. An investigation by the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction unit linked several persons and three locations

together known to be trafficking in drugs.

Three search warrants were obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. Over twelve officers from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Police Dog Service and Forensic Identification Services executed the warrants at the same time to avoid subjects alerting others of police action.

Two warrants were for residences on Standard Hill Road, one was for a residence on 12th Street N in Cranbrook Once inside the residences officers seized Cocaine, Fentanyl (disguised as Oxycontin),

several thousand dollars, several firearms, one loaded and evidence to support trafficking charges.

Five males have been arrested. One of the subjects was on parole and had been released from jail only a few weeks ago. He was in possession of a knife and bear spray at the time. One subject has been released for court in the new year the others will be appearing before a Judicial Justice of the Peace by way of telephone conference later today.

Bulletin readers will recall a fundraiser held for Christopher Green to help him buy a new motorized wheelchair. The fundraiser at the Bean Tree was successful and Christopher received his new wheelchair in November, and is thrilled with it.

Plan ahead. Check weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is winter ready and drive for the conditions.

Know before you go.

“I was even able to afford secure mounts for both my phone and iPad which offers me new degrees of freedom because I’m not tied to a table if I need to get online.

Music and Artistic Director Jeff Faragher conducts the Symphony of the Kootenays and a combined Mt. Baker-Selkirk Secondary Choir at Saturday’s open rehearsal at the Key City Theatre. Also pictured are soprano Noémi Kiss and trumpeter Tim Bullen.

A stellar celebration of the music of the season

ne of the things which defines the Christmas season is music —l ots and lots of wonderful music. From the song of the angels at that first Christmas to the carols and new songs of Christmas, they delight

us and warm our hearts.

We were treated to some of that wonderful music on Saturday night as the Symphony of the Kootenays continued the celebration of their 40th season.

The concert began with wonderful renditions of Happy Holidays, White Christmas and O Holy Night.

This concert featured some of the young musical talent in

our area. Four local piano students performed with the Orchestra. Introduced by Arne Sahlen, who reminded us that just as it takes a village to raise a child, so it takes a whole community to foster such musical talent.

Katie Feng played Bach’s “Sheep May Safely Graze”. She had a delicate, light touch and made this wonder-

ful musical treasure sing. Then we were treated to Bach’s Concerto 1 in D minor for piano and orchestra.

David Robertson played the opening movement with a self– assured and confident touch. His technical abilities were more than evident. Karen Feng played the notoriously difficult slow second movement. Emily Daly tackled the third

movement, playing with a deft touch and a beautiful singing tone.

All four young musicians show again what an amazing community of musical artists we have here in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

The second half feature a modern work by Karl Jenkins, Stella Natalis. The orchestra was supplemented by a massed choir of stu-

dents from Mount Baker Secondary and Selkirk Secondary Schools, as well as Nelson soprano Noémi Kiss and Symphony lead trumpet Tim Bullen. Jenkins’ piece was a stellar celebration of the music of this season. It drew the best from the young voices and the orchestra.

We were also treated to a couple of soprano highlights from Han-

del’s Messiah. Noémi Kiss has a light, agile voice which was perfect for this beautiful masterpiece.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening for the virtually sold–out Key City Theatre. The audience left with big smiles on their faces and hearts brimming with the good feelings which are engendered by great music lovingly played.

Five arrested in Cranbrook From Page 1 This was an excellent team effort by a number of officers and units based in Cranbrook and Kimberley. The investigation, planning and execution of the warrants was professional with

the five being taken into custody without incident” Cpl. Chris Newel, Kimberley RCMP. “The arrest of these subjects will disrupt the drug trade and send a message that drug trafficking will not be tolerated. Al-

though the arrests took place in Cranbrook we know drug networks such as these have connections in other East Kootenay communities.” S/Sgt Hector Lee, Cranbrook RCMP Detachment Commander.

Appeals Court turns down Hopley’s request for shorter sentence C anadian Press

VANCOUVER - The B.C. Court of Appeal has tossed out a bid for a shorter sentence by a man who abducted a three-year-old boy from his bedroom in September 2011.

A lower court judge determined Randall Hopley was a long-term offender and handed down a six-year-sentence after 26 months were deducted for time served awaiting trial.

His lawyer appealed, claiming the judge

should have given Hopley a day and a half for every day he was behind bars before trial instead of one day because the man was segregated.

But the high court refused to take the extra 13 months off Hopley’s sentence, ruling a longer prison term was focused on public protection and the belief that Hopley would complete a sex-offender program during that time.

The panel of three judges ruled that sentencing in this situation takes more than an ap-

The audience was rapt for reptiles and raptors at the Kimberley Conference Centre last Thursday, as the Wildlife Festival made a stop in Kimberley.

Big crowds attended all day for the demonstrations and the opportunity get close to the animals.

Ray’s Reptile Zoo and The Backyard Conservation Fund of Canada brought pythons, rat snakes, tarantulas, scorpions and tortoises, and the Canadian Raptor conservancy brought owls, eagles and a peregrine falcon to the Kimberley Conference Centre.

The two groups presented two alternating 30-minute formal presentations that include amazing free flight bird of prey demonstrations. After the presentations there was plenty of time for questions and answers and touching the wildlife.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is the largest animal rescue in Canada and is an accredited CAZA Zoo. 80 per cent. of their reptiles are seized or unwanted pets. The Canadian Raptor Conservancy is an educational facility that teaches the public about birds of prey and their important role in Nature.

Based in Ontario, the Wildlife Festival is on a tour of B.C. which began in Chilliwack on November 7 and will end this week in Prince George.

All members had the opportunity to enter the water both as a patient and as a rescuer in order to practice various methods of ice rescue in a safe and controlled environment. Another ice rescue session is planned for the week of December 7th so all members of Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services have the opportunity to practice these very important seasonal skills.

Commitment to health care

On December 3rd, I met for an hour with the new CEO of the Interior Health Authority, Chris Mazurkewich. Mr. Mazurkewich was in a senior role with the IHA when I was first elected 15 years ago.

Back then, the East Kootenay had no regional hospital. We did not have full complements of specialists as we do today and so if you were very sick or very injured, you were at risk from an inadequate system.

We did not have all our new specialists, our new Emergency ward, our new Diagnostics Centre or our new Ambulatory Care Centre. And of course we did not have the new ICU that is approaching completion.

In those days, Macleans Magazine did a front page story illustrating how bad rural health care was in Canada and the Cranbrook hospital was featured in the article, not in a nice way. Today in the East Kootenay, we have one of the best rural healthcare systems in the world.

In terms of family doctors, the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s re-

cent physician report showed that in 2014, B.C. added 320 more physicians — for a total of 10,692. More physicians are coming to rural B.C. — with a 6.6% increase in the number of rural family physicians in the province. B.C. has the best rate of population per full-time GP in the country, at 125 per 100,000. We continue to work hard on this issue because there are still not enough family doctors.

We are training more new doctors. The NDP did not add a single new medical school space. There were 120 first-year medical training spaces in 1991 — and 120 in 2001 when I was first elected. Today we have 288. In 2014/15, there were 2,441 doctors practicing in rural areas in B.C. compared to 2,260 in 2010/11 — an increase of about 8%, compared to population growth of just 2.1%.

Back in 2001, we also did not have relatively new seniors care homes in all East Kootenay communities of 3,000 or more population, as we do today.Seniors benefit the most from an improved acute care system but home & community care is also critically important. In 2013/14, health au-

Letters to the Editor

thorities delivered 8.45 million hours of home support, 21% more than just 4 years earlier. But we need more to keep patients at home longer.

In comparison with the rest of Canada, BC leads in Canada with some of the best health outcomes in the world – with some of the lowest per capita spending. Rated #1 in Canada according to the OECD in June 2014. Only province to receive ‘A’ grade overall from Conference Board of Canada in May 2013.

This is not to suggest that the healthcare system is perfect. It is not and it never will be. But we are on the right track and with continued commitment to innovation and continued increased funding, healthcare for all citizens, especially seniors, is constantly improving. My personal goals are to get our own MRI at the EKRH, to ensure that we maintain surgery at the Fernie Hospital and to improve home & community care options across the region, especially for seniors.

Bill Bennett MLA, Kootenay East

Brave new world of gene drives

M

ost powerful new technologies are double-edged. Cars are a vast improvement on horses as a means of transportation, but they also kill more than three thousand people a day and they are a major source of pollution.

So here comes another double-edged technology, and its edges are very sharp.

Gene drives can spread an engineered mutation through an entire species with amazing speed, which means that you could, for example, make the breeds of mosquitoes that transmit the malaria parasite to human being immune to the parasite themselves. (You could also just wipe those species of mosquito out, but then a lot of birds and bats would starve.)

The idea of a gene drive was first suggested twelve years ago by Austin Burt, an evolutionary geneticist at Imperial College in London. What drew his attention were certain naturally occurring “selfish” genes, known as homing endonuclease genes, that can get themselves passed on to the next generation more than the usual fifty percent of the time.

Burt suggested that you might use those genes to build a “gene drive” that would spread some desirable quality (like immunity to malaria) through an entire population in a relatively short time. But back in 2003 the task of manipulating genes was still difficult, lengthy, and unreliable.

It took Burt and his colleagues another eight years to create a homing endonuclease that could find and cut a gene in mosquitoes. Other scientists were working to make artificial protein systems that would do the same job, but it was slow and painful work.Then came CRISPR. CRISPR (it stands for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”, but never mind) refers to bits of viral DNA

that bacteria carry in their genomes. With the help of an enzyme called Cas9, these CRISPRs protect the bacteria from attacks by hostile viruses. In 2012 researchers managed to modify this CRISPR/Cas9 system into a gene-editing tool.

CRISPR/Cas9 has transformed the business of genetic engineering, making it fast, accurate and cheap. It allows researchers to cut and paste practically any gene into any organism, and it has spread through the world’s biology labs like wildfire.

Almost immediately Kenin Esvelt of Harvard University recognised that Gwynne CRISPR is basically a homing endnuclease, and in July Dyer of last year he and his colleagues publicly proposed turning it into a gene drive and listed some of the possibilities that opened up.

It could, Esvelt said, “potentially prevent the spread of disease, support agriculture by reversing pesticide and herbicide resistance in insects and weeds, and control damaging invasive species.” Sick of the cane toads that infest Australian fields?

Modify them so that their skin is no longer poisonous to predators, and watch the problem go away.

“Since the 1970s we’ve been able to genetically engineer individual organisms,” Burt said. “With gene drive, we could change the genetics of vast populations.”

And we have gone from zero to 60 in less than a year.

Last January, Esvelt’s lab made a gene drive in yeast. In March, biologists Valentino Gantz and Ethan Bier at the University of California, San Diego reported online in Science that they had created a gene drive in fruit flies. They had introduced a drive for yellow colour into females, bred them with normal males — and between 95 and 100 percent of the offspring were yellow.

They then started collaborating with

Anthony James, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Irvine who has been working for thirty years on genetically modifying mosquitoes so they can’t pass on malaria. Using CRISPR/Cas9, the team are now within a year of a non-malaria-carrying mosquito ready to be released into the wild – but they won’t do it.

James’s team have no intention of doing that it until there are clear and agreed rules for this sort of thing. They are well aware of the risk of unforeseen side-effects: “We’re not about to do anything foolish,” says James.

One of the precautions James took was to work with an Indian breed of mosquito, so that if one escaped from his California lab it wouldn’t find anyone to mate with. In the same spirit, as soon as Esvelt created a gene drive for a species of yeast he immediately set to work creating another drive that could over-write the first, cancelling the genetic changes it made. If things went wrong, the second one could be released and would spread just as fast.

As Esvelt said, “the possibility of unwanted ecological effects and near-certainty of spread across political borders demand careful assessment of each potential application.” You bet your boots it does.

This is a technology that can change the entire character of a wild species very quickly (or wipe it out) if just one individual that has been genetically altered in the lab accidentally escapes and breeds, because the mutation will be passed on to ALL its descendants, and all of theirs, ad infinitum.

And, of course, we are also talking about the possibility that people with evil intentions mght take common, harmless insects and make them lethal to human beings.

This technology will have to be handled with very great care.

Wheels keep turning as Ice drop seventh straight Kootenay Ice fall in back-to-back contests with Vancouver Giants & Victoria Royals as streak hits seven games

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The wheels on the bus go round and round, but the rubber on the Kootenay Ice wagon isn’t doing much more than spinning as the team finds itself mired in a season-long, seven-game skid following back-to-back losses to the Vancouver Giants (8-17-2-2) and Victoria Royals (19-8-1-1) Friday and Saturday, respectively.

“You can’t hide from that -- we are where we are,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Sunday afternoon over the phone from just outside 100 Mile House as the team bus cruised on towards Prince George.

“Individually, confidence is at rock bottom.

As a group, confidence is at rock bottom. But you still control your effort. You still control your intensity. And that’s going to help you work confidence back into your game.

“No one is going to fix it for you. Nobody has any sympathy for us, nor do I expect them to.

No one is going to take it easy on you and no one is going to lift you up out of the rubble.”

Friday in Vancouver, the Stormtrooper-attired Giants summoned ‘The Force’ during the first period of play, blasting three goals past starting goaltender Declan Hobbs en route to a 4-0 victory.

“We weren’t sharp, we weren’t aggressive,” Pierce said. “Our puck management and decision-making was slow.

“We had a real long talk after the game Friday night and aired some things out. We discussed who we are as a team and trying to do away with any illusion of

us being an uber-talented group.

“I’ve coached a lot of those types of groups in the past and you can have success. But you have to play as a team, you have to play structured and you have to play smart and you have to play hard.”

Giants forward Ty Ronning, Chase Lang and Radovan Bondra struck consecutively over a span of seven minutes and that was essentially it for the visitors.

Giants centre Alec Baer added the fourth and final tally midway through the second period to round out the scoring, while goaltender Ryan Kubic turned aside 25 pucks for his third-consecutive shutout and third win of the season.

At the other end, Hobbs was yanked after allowing four goals on 24 shots. Wyatt Hoflin came on to mop up and finished the night with 12 saves.

The task didn’t get any easier Saturday in Victoria.

After Ice import Roman Dymacek opened the scoring with his third marker of the season, the Royals rattled off five straight goals to skate to a decisive 5-1 triumph.

Royals import Vladimir Bobylev tied the contest less than two minutes after Dymacek gave the visitors the lead.

“The whole [first] period, I thought we were strong,” Pierce said.

“You get out of [the first period] playing a real good hockey team, playing your fourth game in five nights and you’re tied 1-1. You’ve got to be happy with that.”

In the second period, the Royals pulled away

Kootenay Ice forward Shane Allan (#16) battles for positioning with Vancouver Giants forward Carter Popoff (#42) Friday night in Vancouver. Adorned in Star Wars-themed Storm Troopers uniforms, the Giants marched to a 4-0 victory. The Ice rounded out the weekend with a 5-1 loss to the Victoria Royals Saturday night, pushing their skid to seven games. A season-long, five-game road trip for the Ice wraps up Tuesday evening when Kootenay visits the Prince George Cougars before making the trek back to Cranbrook. as Matthew Phillips scored bookend tallies sandwiched around a mid-period marker from Dante Hannoun and Victoria carried a 4-1 lead into the dressing room after 40 minutes.

“They’re all controllable mistakes,” Pierce said of the Royals’ second-period strikes, all of which came off Ice turnovers.

“Whether that’s fatigue, or confidence or whatever, we have to find ways to remedy that.”

Veteran forward Alex Forsberg rounded out the scoring in the third period by adding his 10th of the season, giving himself a four-point night (1-3-4).

Between the pipes, Royals goaltender Cole-

man Vollrath earned his 16th win of the campaign by steering aside 21 of the 22 shots sent his way.

At the other end, Hoflin was once again busy as he made 38 stops on 43 shots.

The Ice roster suffered further attrition Saturday as forward Dylan Stewart (head) was lost to injury early in the contest. At this point, the Edmonton native is considered day-to-day.

The Ice spent Sunday on the road once again as they make their way north from Vancouver Island to Prince George for a Tuesday evening tilt with the Cougars (16-9-1-1).

Diamondbacks sign RHP Greinke to record contract Janie McC auley Associated Press

Zack Greinke will still pitch in the NL West. But surprise - with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks unexpectedly won the Greinke sweepstakes, beating out the rival Los

Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants for the free agent ace Friday night. He reached agreement on a $206.5 million, six-year deal, sources told Associated Press.

The major league ERA leader and runner-up for the NL Cy Young Award boosted the Dodg-

ers to their third straight division title this season. Then, the 32-yearold righty opted out of his contract, leaving $71.5 million on the table- and wound up with the richest deal, by yearly average, in baseball history. The $34.4 million average will be the sport’s highest.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You generally are as extroverted and intense as they come. You might not understand what is going on with you, but you’ll have a need to retreat. Process a matter about a loved one. Don’t make the assumption that this experience is negative; it’s just different. Tonight: As you like it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be in the position of allowing others to take the lead, when you normally wouldn’t.

Consider how you could change the way you and others see a situation, but keep those thoughts to yourself unless someone asks for feedback. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be concentrating on one specific issue and doing some research. You might have difficulty indulging in conversations about other matters, as your mind is elsewhere. Be willing to take a risk. Tonight: Take the time you need for yourself and/or a project.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not be able to close down the muse that lies within you. Your creativity can’t be shut off easily. You might want to remain relatively discreet. You will know when the time is right to share more of your thoughts and ideas. Tonight: Let the fun begin!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to rethink a personal situation. You might feel as if you see eye to eye with the other party involved and can come to an agreement. You rarely feel strongly about these type of situations, but decide to make it OK anyway. Tonight: Head home early, if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want more free time to visit with a partner. You could be overwhelmed by an option you never expected to have in your life. Enjoy the moment, but be rational in your choices. What a loved one feels could be off as well. Tonight: Continue the happy moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will be very tempted to make a certain purchase and/or

Tundra

head in a certain direction. You will find the experience or the item to be close to impossible to turn down. Make sure you are aware of the costs of this expenditure. Tonight: Meet a friend for some eggnog.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Sometimes, when we overthink a personal matter, we get into trouble. Perhaps you need to take some time off for holiday shopping, if nothing else. You could be taken aback by how much fun you have doing what often has seemed like a chore.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Several friends might notice a serene quality emanating from you. It more than likely stems from a personal matter. In fact, some of you might be upset about an issue, but you are on your way to letting it go, or at least seeing it from a different perspective. Tonight: All is well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay focused on the long term.

Often, you find that others don’t seem to understand where you are coming from. All the activ-

ity that surrounds you needs to be pushed away if you are to accomplish anything. Politely isolate yourself. Tonight: Open the door for others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating takes on a new level of caring that somehow leaks into other areas of your life. The possibilities for change are many, should you decide to take a leap of faith.

Understand that your expectations sometimes are off. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Look at the big picture, and you will make a much better decision. A situation that you might have perceived as being hostile likely has become one of caring.

You feel much better once you break down barriers between you and others. Tonight: Start hanging up some mistletoe.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: What should one do if family and friends come from out of state to visit, and when they leave, you see that some of your items are missing? I’m not talking about money and jewelry. I’m talking about good feather pillows and objects of art that are treasured.

When I asked the suspected perpetrators about the items, they all denied taking them. So I give up. Is there any way to get them back, or to prevent such things from being taken the next time? -- A Mom and Grandmother Dear Mom: Feather pillows? Perhaps you need to check the size of their luggage. Let’s start by giving them the benefit of the doubt. Is it possible that you moved these items elsewhere and forgot? It happens more often than we care to admit. And if it happens every single time you have any overnight guest, you may want to speak to your doctor. The problem may be coming from your end.

Friends who steal should not be invited back to stay overnight. Instead, recommend a nearby hotel and offer to meet them for dinner. You can do the same with relatives if you choose. We know that children and grandchildren often fall into a different category.

Those who are already under suspicion should know that you plan to check their rooms for missing items before they leave because things get misplaced and you’d hate to accuse them of anything.

Those who contemplate stealing will hopefully be warned and not repeat their misdeeds. You also should lock up any items of particular value. But if someone continues to steal, consider that it could be a mental health issue and suggest they get professional help.

Dear Annie: I’m writing about the letter from “Concerned Aunt,” whose nephew has herpes. I want to tell him it’s not his fault.

I am 42 and developed herpes in my late 20s. I was also unaware of my partner’s status until infected. Initially, I was disturbed, saddened and upset. But I learned of others in the same situation who encouraged me and shared their stories of coping. I can report that there is hope. I date and have successful relationships. In each case, I share my status before any intimate contact and inform them of the safety measures we must engage in. Each one has been OK with it. I have few breakouts, and I adhere to safety measures.

I still get saddened at times, but I keep the faith. I also use my status to share discreetly with young people, family and close friends about safe sex concerns including “dental dams,” of which I was never told and find most people are unaware. Surprisingly, I could donate blood a year after infection, which somehow comforted me.

Herpes is a very manageable situation, and you are not alone. You can have a full life, and you will find people to care about and love you. I find that being honest and upfront is extremely important. -- Nicole from NYC Dear Nicole: Thank you for your supportive letter. We hope the nephew will see this and be reassured.

ON THE WEB:

It is with great sadness that the family of Christopher Paul Weitzel announces his passing on November 29, 2015 at the age of 48.

Chris is survived by and will be so deeply missed by his loving wife Laurie, son Nick (Natalie), daughter Jordan, father George, his four dogs (Rocky, Boomer, Tehya & Candy), Tick the cat plus many many dear friends and relatives.

Chris was in his element riding his Harley â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hair straight back.....eyes a waterinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?, climbing a mountain surrounded by nature and in the company of his loving family and friends. Everyone who knew Chris will have their own special memory of the guy who was always willing to lend a hand and help a friend in need. Most recently Chris will be remembered for the incredible strength and positive attitude he had.

He educated us throughout his journey and became an inspiration to many.

A celebration of Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life was held on Saturday December 5, 2015 at 3:00pm at McKim auditorium in Kimberley.

In lieu of flowers the Weitzel family asks that you consider a donation to another family battling cancer as they know first hand not only the financial impact illness has but also the impact of support from friends and community members. Chris & Laurie do not support the Canadian Cancer Society.

HALIFAX - Nearly a century ago, two ships collided in the narrows of the Halifax harbour and caused a devastating explosion that brought the First World War to the shores of North America.

The 98th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion, which left roughly 25,000 people dead, injured or homeless, was marked on Citadel Hill today with a canon blast at the time of the disaster.

At 9:04 a.m. on Dec. 6, 1917, the French cargo ship SS MontBlanc, loaded with explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo, creating the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons.

Wikipedia

SS Imo aground on the Dartmouth side of the harbour after the explosion Ken Hynes, curator of the Army Museum at Citadel Hill, says it’s important to commemorate the event, which killed 2,000 people, so that it doesn’t become lost in time.

stroyed by the First World War.” Hynes said the bow of the Imo stuck the Mont Blanc and ignited a fire onboard the ship, which was carrying barrels of benzol, TNT, picric acid and guncotton. The centre of the resulting explosion reached 5,000 C and the blast wave created a three-metre tsunami that further damaged Halifax’s shoreline.

Halifax’s north end was reduced to rubble and windowpanes were blown out across the city, he said. It was more than two months before some people could return to their homes, and many people did not have homes to return to, said Hynes.

A fragment of the hull of the Mont Blanc is on display at the museum, as well as a rifle that was found by a citizen in the debris after the explosion.

Hynes, a retired army major, said pieces of the French ship were discovered up to three kilometres from the site of the explosion.
