Brainstorm the float C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The Kimberley float has been proudly driven down many a parade route in the past 35 years or so. And most of that time, what has been driving it is the chassis and engine of a 1977 Cougar. The Cougar has given up the ghost, so to speak, and the Kimberley Float Committee has City approval and backing to build an entirely new float, powered by an electric cart. Committee member

Stan Salikin says that the cart will be modified and a volunteer will design the platform and aluminum framework for the new float. But Salikin and fellow committee member Jori Adank don’t want to be responsible for deciding what the float should look like. “Right at the moment, we have the cart and the frame and could build it tomorrow. But we need some help and input and advice, any ideas from anyone at all. See FLOAT, page 3
Busy times for conference centre
Centre welcomes BC Land Surveyors next week C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Staff at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre are preparing to welcome over 200 land surveyors and their partners next week from March 2 to 4. The Association for BC Land Surveyors will
hold their Annual General Meeting and professional development days at the Conference Centre. Of course with the location of the conference centre a stone’s throw from the chair lift, there will likely be a little skiing going on as well, says conference centre manager Grant Sharam. Many of the Association members are bringing J. RIGHTON PHOTO their families and plan to hit the slopes before and What a great way to start the playoffs. A big win over Fernie and, just prior to the game, receiving the banner as regular season champs of the Eddie Mountain Division.

Pink Shirt Day: Everyone has a role to fill
For the Townsman
It’s unfortunate that bullying seems to get the most attention when it is at the center of a high profile or tragic event. The reality is that bullying is an everyday occurrence. The Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP in cooperation with parents, teachers and youth all have a role to play to ensure the safety of our youth. It’s important to remind everyone to do what they can to keep their schools bully free and to report any acts of bullying or assist those who are victims of bullying. Young people should also be encouraged to approach teachers or other adults they trust if they are experiencing bullying and are not comfortable speaking with their parents. The problem can only be rectified if the person affected comes forward. The RCMP in your community believes awareness and education is key to helping youth, parents, teachers

On February 24th, 2016, at approximately 1115am, a concerned citizen attended the C r a n b r o o k Detachment to advise of a suspicious vehicle parked outside the police office. The citizen advised that a male was deceased inside the vehicle. Cranbrook RCMP closed 11th Avenue South from Baker St to 2nd St north while police conducted their investigation. Police located a male in his 60’s deceased in the front seat of the vehicle. Foul play is not suspected and the Cranbrook RCMP and the Coroner’s office continue to investigate.

Busy times at Conference Centre From page 1 “Many of the delegates have never been to Kimberley before. It’s very important that we make them feel welcome,” Sharam said. “The economic benefit this group brings to our community can’t be underestimated and we want them to return”. Planning for this conference began way back in 2014 says Event Manager Meta Yee-Lim “the Association has booked the entire centre and we have meetings and receptions happening in every room all week”. The group has booked a large number
of accommodation rooms and the majority are taking advantage of the proximity of the Canadian Rockies airport and are flying in. Shuttles have been arranged and welcome baskets distributed to the Hotels. Convention attendees will take a tour of McVittie House and Land Surveying Office at Fort Steele. There are also visits planned to Spirit Rock Climbing Centre and several gala events at the conference centre in the evenings. Sharam says it will be a busy week at the Conference Centre
starting this Friday with the College of the Rockies graduation ceremonies of the Fire Services Certification. On Saturday and Sunday the Kootenay Bar Association will hold their AGM and Winter meetings and then on Monday the Land Surveyors arrive. Another big conference coming up soon is the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments convention which will be held from April 25 to 29. Kimberley last hosted this event in 2011 and it was a great success.

(COLUMBIA BASIN) - The Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) invites members of the arts, culture and heritage community in the Columbia Basin to join its volunteer Steering Committee. The CKCA is a representative body of the arts, culture and heritage communities across the Basin, and manages and administers arts, culture, and heritage funding programs on behalf of Columbia Basin Trust (CBT). The CKCA Steering Committee consists of 14 members: six from the West Kootenay, five from the East Kootenay, one from the Valemount area and two from the Heritage sector. CKCA represents all the disciplines in the arts (visual art, music, theatre, dance, film/video and literary arts), culture and heritage; therefore, it is important to provide broad representation on the Steering Committee. CKCA is particularly interested in new members that represent youth or cultural diversity. Steering Committee
members are elected for two-year terms and represent the broader needs of arts, culture and heritage sectors in the Basin rather than individual arts councils or heritage organizations, or the communities in which they live. Nominees to the Steering Committee must have a strong background in arts, culture or heritage, should have experience in working on boards/ committees and must understand the needs and issues of the sector in order to develop funding programs/policies and adjudicate proposals. Members are expected to attend at least two meetings per year in various locations in the Basin. Nominees to the CKCA Steering Committee do not have to be members of any organizations, but must be nominated by their local community arts councils or by the Heritage Federation of South East BC (HFSEBC). Each eligible arts council may put forward only one nomination. If there are more arts
council nominees in each region than seats available on the Steering Committee, regional elections will be held in the beginning of April. The HFSEBC may put forward one nomination this year. The HFSEBC nominee will be elected at its annual AGM. It is recommended that nominees (if elected) will be willing to attend occasional arts council or HFSEBC meetings to stay in touch with local/sector issues. Currently, community arts councils eligible for nominating representatives to the Steering Committee are: West Kootenay: Arrow Lakes (Nakusp Area), Castlegar, N. Koo-
tenay Lake, Rossland, Salmo (including Ymir), Slocan Lake (Silverton/ New Denver) & Slocan Valley, Trail & District. East Kootenay: Creston, Fernie, Golden, Kimberley, and Sparwood and District. North: Valemount All other communities/sectors currently have a sitting Steering Committee member. For more information on the nomination process, please contact your local arts council or call CKCA at 1-877505-7355. For more information on CKCA, please visit www.basinculture.com. Deadline for arts council nominations is 5 pm PDT, Monday, March 21, 2016.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Career Opportunities - The City currently has five positions posted: Building Inspector, Planner, Engineering Assistant 1 (seasonal), Lifeguard/ Instructor II - Full Time and Lifeguard -Casual. Please refer to the Careers section on the City’s website for more information. Discarding of Fat, Oil and Grease in Drainage Pipes - The City asks that you please do not pour fat, oil or grease down your drains. When kitchen equipment is cleaned the fat, oil and grease (FOG) is washed off and enters the City’s plumbing system.

Blockages in the wastewater collection system are serious, causing sewage spills, manhole overflows, or sewage backups in homes and businesses. FOG also obstructs effective treatment at the wastewater treatment plant, sanitary systems are not designed or equipped to handle the FOG that accumulates on the interior of the sewer collection system pipes. City Crews and Road Work - To ensure the safety of all concerned, please keep a respectful distance in construction zones (minimum 90’ / 30 m) from any City crews or contractors, open ditches and heavy equipment.

Too late: A little advice for Harold
H
arold was born in the U.K. That is obvious from his mixed up British accent and from the way that he refers to his wife of forty plus years as The Missus, The Old Lady and sometimes even The Trouble. The latter comes from the Cockney rhyming slang, Trouble and Strife, wife. Now I happen to be slightly acquainted with Harold and his missus so, when the following letter appeared on my editor’s desk, he quickly palmed it off on me to answer. I didn’t think I deserved the pain, but anyway: Dear editor, Are you married? If you are can you advice (sic) me. My Old Lady doesn’t appreciate the fact that I do spend alot (sic) of time with her, even if she is boring. I spend my preshous (sic) spare time away from work evenly between hunting, fishing, being with my friends and her. Surely that’s enough. What else does she want? She’s always off with her stupid female friends. Yours faithfully, Harold Gumshore, Skookumchuck. So I am lumbered with replying to Harold’s dilemma to the best of my limited abilities. Here goes: Harold, old mucker: It’s great to hear from you but I am surprised that Muriel is still with you when you are home which, apparently, isn’t too often. What you’ve got to understand, old
mate, is that women aren’t mysterious things from Venus some place. They are human beings and, when they marry some bloke or other, they expect to be treated as such. Marriage really consists of two people getting used to each other’s quirks and, as far as I recall, you have tons of quirks, among which is leaving the missus at Peter home while you hunt, fish Warland and watch too many hockey games while hanging out with your odd-ball, quirky friends. No wonder Muriel spends so much time with her friends. I bet she passes her time in volunteering at the local library and playing bridge with her circle of female friends who, probably, are the unfortunate wives of your unremarkable friends. By the way, when do you work? As far as I recall, you have been gainfully unemployed for yonks and survive on public assistance and whatever Muriel can bring in. The original purpose of marriage was for a man to reproduce himself and then let that boy take over all the onerous tasks. What happened? Did young Harold let you down and leg it off to parts unknown? An alternative is for a man to produce a girl who can be cared for until she can be married off soon as possible to a young
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
fellow who can take over the old guy’s labours. What happened to Melanie and Mavis? Call of the big city? You, Harold should have been a little more industrious, made a few bucks and sent at least one of those girls off to college then, by now, she’d have a good job and having intelligent conversations with her Mum. One suggestion for you to do is to be extremely brave for a week or two and spend tons of time with Muriel. Go with her to the library and help in your usual bumbling way. Drop lots of books. Insist on accompanying her to her pathetic bridge games and drive the other women bonkers with inept bids and maybe some of those jokes you share with your mates. That should liven things up. Go shopping with Muriel. In fact, insist on driving her to Invermere or even distant Kimberly and then actually buying things. One good shopping expedition to Lethbridge or even Calgary should bring an end to the lady’s complaints. An extended visit to a big box-store like Ikea should finish off the whimpering. Keep pointing out expensive stuff that neither one of you could afford or even want. Believe me, old son, she’ll never complain about your absences again; she’ll always glad to see the back of you. P.S. You could, when you are spending those happy hours with The Old Lady get her to proof read your letters to the editor. Cheers, Pete

Refugee Benefits
Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Matheson; I have read your letter in the Townsman and have to point out that whoever informed you that Syrian refugees do not have to pay for dental care is completely wrong. Refugees are first covered by the basic
federal medical services plan and after this by the provincial health plan, everything else comes out of their own pocket. Your statements that refugees are so well off do not challenge me. Unfortunately you are right and it would have been different for refugees under a Conservative government, but I am excited that that is past tense.
Maybe you should have walked a mile in the shoes of the refugees and come to the conclusion that you are not so badly off in our beautiful Canada. Would you have liked to pack your bags and go to another country and start all over again? Just think it over! Anne Beurskens Cranbrook
Gene editing and mosquito extemination Gwynne Dyer
It was a typically anodyne statement by the World Health Organisation: “Given the magnitude of the Zika crisis, WHO encourages affected countries and their partners to boost the use of both old and new approaches to mosquito control.” Anodyne, that is, until you realise what they mean by “new approaches”. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that is spreading panic around the world. It was first linked to hydrocephaly — a developmental defect in infants that results in abnormally small heads, severe learning difficulties, and often early death — only last year in Brazil. WHO estimates that it may infect 3 to 4 million people in the Americas alone this year — and its “new approach” is to exterminate the mosquitoes. Literally. An alternative approach would be to develop a vaccine for the Zika virus — but that would take up to ten years, and the crisis is now. Zika has already been detected in 30 countries, and Brazil is investigating more than 4,300 suspected cases of microcephaly. The pressure is on to do something fast. By the wildest of coincidences, something fast is available. It’s only twelve years since Austin Burt, an evolutionary geneticist at Imperial College in London, raised the idea of a “gene drive” that would spread some desirable quality (like immunity to malaria) through an entire population in a relatively short time. With a population of mosquitoes, whose generations are only a month long, you could do it in only a year or two. Mosquitoes were the obvious first target for the new technology, since their bite transmits lethal diseases like dengue fever,
chikungunya and, above all, malaria, which still kills 600,000 people a year. But “editing” a gene was a long, difficult process until CRISPR/Cas9, a fast, accurate, cheap gene-editing tool that was developed in 2012. Scientists immediately set to work on mosquito genes, and by last year they had a genetically modified (GM) mosquito whose offspring do not survive into adulthood. They die as larvae, before they can breed. By an even wilder coincidence, the species of mosquito whose genes they edited was Aedes aegypti, best known as a vector for dengue fever. But Aedes aegyti is also the main transmitter of the Zika virus, and Oxitec, the British-based company that was created to exploit this new technology, is already field-testing the GM version of the insect — in Brazil, as luck would have it. In the town of Piracicaba, Oxitec has a “factory” that produces 800,000 mosquitoes each week that carry the OX513A gene, and a white van that sets them free all over town. In theory they should mate with the local females of the same species, whose children will never grow up to mate themselves, so the local population should go into steep decline. And in practice, it works. Obviously, the enterprise could be scaled up to cover all of Brazil, or even the whole world. The question is: should it be? Human beings have wiped out entire species in the past, starting with the big animals that were wiped out in the “New World blitzes” when human hunters first arrived in the Americas, Australia and various ocean islands. But we never actually
intended to exterminate a species before. This time it’s different. Some environmentalists have already attacked the idea, ostensibly on the grounds that removing an entire species of mosquito would upset the ecological balance and possibly cause further extinctions among the animals that feed on them, or maybe open up an ecological niche that would be filled by an even nastier species. But one suspects that their real worry is the “slippery slope”. If we edit Aedes aegypti out of existence today, what species will we next choose to remove for our own convenience? That is a legitimate concern, but nothing can make mosquitoes cuddly, whereas healthy babies definitely are cuddly. The threat of Zika will trump all their arguments. Besides, there are some 3,000 species of mosquitoes (only 200 of which bite human beings), so some other species will just fill the niche left empty by Aedes aegypti and no other bird, fish or insect will go hungry. If you are still upset about “playing God”, keep a small breeding population of Aedes aegypti alive in captivity so you can repopulate the planet with the little pests if you need to. The great American biologist and champion of biodiversity E.O. Wilson gets the last word on this. In his book “The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth”, he makes a exception for Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito that spreads malaria in Africa. “Keep their DNA for research,” he writes, “and let them go.” The same goes for Aedes aegypti. We are going to commit insecticide. And we should.

1906 Better alarm needed … What is needed at once is a decent fire alarm. The bell on the fire house at the present time would not wake a man sitting up with his best girl. The people living on the hill cannot hear a sound as a rule when the alarm is given. Hero … H. B. Gilmour, who represents the Waterous Machinery Company, was in town that night. He was among the first at the fire and turned loose and did all he could to assist the fire brigade. The next day he was around town wearing his overcoat as his other coat was still soaking wet.

body voted Gilmour a prince and said that he was the kind of a man that was needed in an emergency of that kind. Big growth … There is every reason to feel that there will be a good movement in real estate in Cranbrook this season. At the present time there is not a desirable house to rent in the town, and the natural growth of the town will create a demand that will make more building necessary. The completion of the Corbin road will bring to Cranbrook quite an increase in the railway contingent which is bound to be augmented this summer by the increase in the lumber business. From any standpoint one cares to look, there is nothing but increased prosperity ahead for the town. There is no doubt but that there will be some substantial business blocks on the main street this summer, and it is almost a
moral certainty that there will be a large modern hotel built, and work is liable to start on that right away. The new public building will be under headway as soon as the preliminaries can be arranged between the city and the government. This has given an impetus to the movement of reality on Norbury Avenue, and as a result every lot that was held by the townsite on the street was sold last week. Arnold & Roberts, S. J. Mighton and J. F. Armstrong were the purchasers and they bought them on a speculation, which everybody agrees is a display of mighty good judgment. Money to be made … There are fortunes to be made in this district in fruit raising and vegetable gardening. The low lands are specially adapted to the successful raising of vegetables and there are no better
lands anywhere for fruit than the bench lands. And what makes this line of industry attractive in this district is the fact that the market is right at your farm gate. And there is room for hundreds and a market for all they can raise. The lumber and mining industry of the Cranbrook district is rapidly increasing, and coal mining in the Fernie district and just over the range in Alberta is yet in its infancy. There will be no dearth of demand for the products and there will be no dissatisfaction over the prices paid. Today there are men in the east making a bare living who might by coming to East Kootenay and using intelligence and industry make more money in one year than they could in their present locations in five years.

The Kootenay Ice battled right to the bitter end Wednesday night at Western Financial Place, but when the final buzzer sounded, a more experienced Brandon Wheat Kings squad found two goals in the third period to claim a 4-2 victory. “The second period was really our undoing and gave them a ton of momentum and energy,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Wednesday’s loss. “It really wore our guys out. Our defencemen, especially, were exhausted. We just didn’t have the energy for the third that we needed. “We maybe got ahead of ourselves after a real good first period.” The Ice carried a onegoal lead into the second
period courtesy a marker from Austin Wellsby in the opening 20 minutes, as he returned to the lineup after missing five games with an upper-body injury. The 18-year-old native of Chilliwack started the scoring, cruising through the slot before taking a nifty pass from import Roman Dymacek and depositing a backhand past Wheat Kings goaltender Logan Thompson for a 1-0 Ice lead. Wheat Kings defenceman James Shearer and Ice winger Jared Legien exchanged goals midway through the second period before Brandon blueliner Kale Clague cleaned up a rebound late in the proceedings to send both teams to their respective dressing rooms knotted 2-2 after 40 minutes.

Dynamiters edge Ghostriders in double overtime Korbyn Chabot plays hero as Kimberley takes 2-0 series lead over rival Fernie in KIJHL Eddie Mountain Division semifinal
Taylor Rocc a
After a 6-0 victory in Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal, Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks knew Game 2 was going to present a much steeper challenge. And he wasn’t wrong. His club might have claimed a victory for the second consecutive night, but it didn’t come easy as the Nitros required double overtime to dispatch the Fernie Ghostriders by a 4-3 margin Wednesday evening in front of 617 fans at the Fernie Memorial Arena. “Our will wasn’t really where it needed to be to start the game, whereas we had it for 60 minutes the other night,” Bancks said Wednesday evening over the phone from Fernie. “That’s the one thing that happens when you win a game 6-0 — you think the next one is going to be easy. “That’s kind of how we thought [the Ghostriders] were going to come out tonight and that’s not going to happen. I give them full credit, they came out hard. I think we have a new respect for them. I hope it wakes us up.” Pesky 16-year-old pit bull Korbyn Chabot played the role of overtime hero in Wednesday’s victory for the Dy-
namiters. After the two teams battled to a 3-3 tie through regulation, the initial 10-minute first overtime period solved nothing. Only 1:32 into double overtime, Chabot beat Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser to a loose puck before tucking it into the vacated cage to boost the Dynamiters to victory and 2-0 series lead.
“That was a big goal,” Bancks said. “That was humungous. “It was a fortunate bounce, fortunate break. But after the halfway point of the game, I thought we deserved it.” Wednesday’s Game 2 in Fernie was nothing short of wild, to say the least. Regulation was marred with penalties, as the two teams combined for 64 minutes worth of infractions, with 39 handed to the Dynamiters and 25 to the Ghostriders. In the first period, Ghostriders forward Zach Befus was tossed from the game after incurring a five-minute
major penalty and game misconduct for cross-checking Eric Buckley into the boards. According to Bancks, the veteran pest was cut open at the mouth as a result of the check. In the second period, Dynamiters defenceman Jordan Busch had his night end early after incurring a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for head contact. Another second-period penalty of note was a four-minute double minor to Dynamiters veteran Jared Marchi for spearing. When Chabot finally ended the raucous outing, the Ghostriders had seen 10 power-play opportunities, converting on one. On the flip side, the Dynamiters went 2-for-3 on the man advantage. It was a back-andforth affair from start to finish, as Nitros defenceman George Bertoia opening the scoring with a first-period power-play goal only to see Ghostriders forward Justin Peers knot the game with his own man-advantage effort before the opening 20 minutes expired. Fernie took a 2-1 lead in the second period as Trevor Broad found twine, but Brodie Buhler evened the score and
Ice fall to Wheat Kings Wednesday Hoflin continued to battle in the blue paint come the second period. Late in the equation, Ty Lewis got loose in the slot, only to be rejected twice by Hoflin in tight. With the Ice netminder down and out, the puck popped loose to Ivan Provorov at the point, who wasted no time in sending the biscuit right back where it came from. Hoflin managed to stack the pads and swallow up the puck, making his third glorious save of the frenetic sequence. At the end of the night, Hoflin made 36 saves. Thompson turned aside 13 pucks at the other end, collecting his 15th victory of the campaign. The loss drops the Ice to 10-45-5-0 on the
Continued from page 8 season, while the Wheat Kings improve to 38-183-2. Next up, the Wheat Kings travel to Lethbridge to face the Hurricanes (40-19-1-1) Friday night in a showdown that could go a long ways in determining the top seed in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. “It was one of our goals at the start of the year to be first overall in the league,” Patrick said. “Giving up those points lately, we slipped back a little bit. But if we keep pushing, we can be first in our division. “[The Hurricanes] are a fast team. If we use our speed, we can match with them fine. If we play a good defensive game, we’ll be able to handle them fine.” Heading into Friday’s
contest, the Wheat Kings sit first in the East Division and one point behind the Hurricanes for top spot in the Eastern Conference. On a league-wide scale, the Kelowna Rockets (42-16-3-0, 87 points) are six points ahead of the Wheat Kings in the race for the WHL regular-season crown. The Ice play host to the Edmonton Oil Kings (26-28-6-1) Friday night at Western Financial Place.

Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer turns a shot aside during Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal. Brouwer and the Nitros edged the Fernie Ghostriders in double overtime of Game 2. the two teams remained tied through 40 minutes. Buckley put his team ahead 3-2 on the power play midway through the third period, but Evan Reid forced overtime, tallying for the
Ghostriders with 3:33 remaining in regulation. At the end of the night, Brouwer made 35 saves on 38 shots for his second victory of the series, while Orser went the distance, turning
aside 31 shots for Fernie. With the win, the Dynamiters now lead the best-of-seven division semifinal 2-0. The bitter rivals will take Thursday off before the puck drops on Game

KIJHL Standings
Galchenyuk scores twice, Canadiens top Capitals Benjamin Standig Associated Press
Alex Galchenyuk scored two goals, Mike Condon made 33 saves and the Montreal Canadiens topped the Eastern Conference-leading Washington Capitals 4-3 on Wednesday night. The Canadiens built a 3-0 lead and chased Capitals goalie Braden Holtby in the second period before holding on as Washington tallied two late goals. Brendan Gallagher and Tomas Fleischmann added goals for the Canadiens, who had lost four of five, and two previous meetings with Washington this season. Trailing 4-1, the Capitals scored twice inside the final minutes, including Andre Burakovsky’s goal with 2:53 remaining. Jason Chimera and Dmitri Orlov also scored for the President’s Trophy front-runners, who entered 17-1-1 over their previous 19 home games. Alex Ovechkin, the
NHL leader with 39 goals, had one assist, but did not score for the first time in four games for Washington. The Capitals were 9-1-0 in their previous 10 games, while the Canadiens were 3-14-1 in their last 18 on the road. Holtby, who finished with 15 saves on 18 shots, couldn’t add to his league-leading 38 wins. Washington’s defence didn’t help the cause. Montreal turned a poor clear from Orlov into a 1-0 lead. Galchenyuk intercepted the pass and then rammed home a rebound off Dale Weise’s shot. Galchenyuk’s score meant the slow-starting Capitals trailed for the sixth straight game. The deficit doubled with 2:13 left in the opening period on Gallagher’s power-play goal in the third and final meeting against Washington this season. Another rebound off Holtby led to Montreal’s third goal less than two minutes into the second
period and Fleischmann’s first since Jan. 23. Philipp Grubauer replaced Holtby at that point. He finished with 15 saves, including turn-
ing away Gallagher’s scant quality opportunipenalty shot, but surren- ties against Condon dered Galchenyuk’s goal until Chimera scooped EddIE MountaIn dIvISIon a loose puck past the in the second period.

Raptors had won nine in a row at home was way back in 1999 (March 7April 4). The Timberwolves seemed like they were ripe for the picking, having lost their previous 13 of 14 games on the road, and 11 straight in Toronto. They had won just three of their 20 games in Toronto. The last time these teams met, however, in their last game before the NBA all-star break, the Raptors coughed up an 18-point lead en route to a 117-112 loss. The Raptors were looking for payback, and led by as many as many 12 points in the first half, but couldn’t shake the young T’Wolves. The game got heated in the second half, and when Terrence Ross was called for an offensive foul on Tyus Jones, his
TORONTO - The victories at the Air Canada Centre keep coming for the Toronto Raptors. DeMar DeRozan poured in 31 points to lift the Raptors to a 114-105 victory over Minnnesota on Wednesday, tying the franchise record with their ninth consecutive win at home. Kyle Lowry added 21 points, while Cory Joseph had 18 points off the bench. Jonas Valanciunas chipped in with 14 points and seven rebounds for Toronto (3818). Andrew Wiggins, the reigning NBA rookie of the year from Vaughan, Ont., led the T’Wolves (18-40) with 26 points, while Gorgui Dieng added 21. The last time the

The Raptors put together a nine-point lead in the fourth, but the T’Wolves chipped away at it, and a put-back dunk by reigning NBA slam dunk champion Zack LaVine tied the game with 3:48 to play. But Toronto’s all-stars Lowry and DeRozan drilled consecutive three-pointers, putting the Raptors ahead 107101 with just under two minutes to play. Lowry and DeRozan would sink another pair of threes in the final minute to seal the deal for Toronto, and send the capacity crowd of 19,800 fans home happy.

62 Cranbrook businesses up for awards For the Townsman
Courtesy Stewart Wilson
The Gordon Terrace Boys’ Volleyball Team enjoyed a successful season during which they developed their skills, and showed good teamwork and commitment while having fun playing sport. Thanks to coaches Brooklyn and Janine for their support and dedication!
An impressive 62 Cranbrook business and organizations have been nominated for a 2016 Business Excellence Award in eleven different categories. “The depth and breadth of nominations across the categories this year is really quite impressive,” said Chamber Executive Director David D. Hull. “It really demonstrates the quality and diversity of our business community.” For the second year the Business Excellence Awards nominees will be adjudicated in a juried panel system. “We have a three person panel conducting interviews in a preformatted manner,” said Hull. “We are confident that the nominees will really enjoy their time with the panel and appreciate the opportunity to expand and discuss their
individual businesses and organizations.” Award recipients will be announced as part of the Business Excellence Awards gala evening Saturday, April 02 at the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino. This year the gala will wrap up with a dance to local recording artists and renowned performers The Black Diamond Band. Hull said, “Last year there was so much fun and energy in the room that is seemed like more was wanted at the end so this year we are going to dance the night away to one of the best bands in the Kootenays.” Hull is encouraging gala attendees to secure their tickets early as the capacity is capped at 230 and with so many nominees tickets will be in demand for what is certain to be an early sold out event.

Tourism taking off in British Columbia BY TOM FLE TCHER Black Press
New direct flights from Paris and Tokyo and a decline in the Canadian dollar helped push international tourism near five million in 2015, a 7.9 per cent increase over the previous year. A relaunched “Super, Natural B.C.” marketing
campaign has also proven effective, gaining attention from global tourism publications, Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond said Tuesday, releasing 2015 visitor totals. Bond hit some of the highlights of the tourism results, showing improved results far from Vancouver In-
ternational Airport. The gold rush town of Barkerville near Quesnel welcomed 60,000 visitors between May and September last year, a 20 per cent increase from the year before. Sun Peaks resort near Kamloops saw a 20 per cent increase in room nights last July, demonstrating success
in efforts to expand mountain resorts beyond the ski season. Hotel occupancy was up 8.8 per cent in the province, and restaurants saw a 7.3 per cent increase, said Marsha Walden, CEO of Destination British Columbia. Victoria registered 87 per cent hotel occupancy in June, and “that
hasn’t happened in 20 years,” Walden said. The largest volume of visitors is from the U.S., which saw a 9.6 per cent increase to 5.2 million visits last year. France had the largest percentage increase at 33 per cent to 29,000 visitors, after Air France added a direct flight to Vancouver. Visits
from Japan were up 15.5 per cent, and South Korea and Mexico visits rose 9.5 per cent. Visits from Asia Pacific countries rose 4.5 per cent and European visits rose 3.8 per cent.
Women Grow - Cranbrook Presenters SUBMIT TED
Women Grow, a national professional network supporting female leaders and entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, is pleased to be holding its second Signature Networking Event at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, March 3rd at the beautiful St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino. Women (and men) in the cannabis industry or those interested in it are invited to connect with colleagues, explore professional opportunities, and learn from expert guest speakers, including: Tamara Duggan: After a rewarding 25 year career with the Alberta Government as a social worker, counsellor and finally a business consultant, Tamara moved to Kimberley in 2010
to join her husband and start a new chapter in her life. As partner in his automotive business she played an integral part in keeping it afloat following his industrial accident in July 2011. This pivotal event launched her new career as a full time caregiver and was the catalyst for developing her interest in medicinal cannabis for treatment of chronic pain. In July 2015 she, along with Rod, opened Tamarack Dispensaries in Marysville; Canada’s first licensed medical cannabis dispensary. With approximately 50 new members each month, business has been steadily growing and she couldn’t be happier. Her business philosophy is firmly based on relation-
ship-building and she believes networking is the key to being successful in business. With a business motto of information, education then medication, you are assured of a personal encounter, whether you are an experienced user of medicinal cannabis or brand new to the product. In her spare time, Tamara enjoys Zumba, time spent outdoors, wine, public speaking and quilting. David Grenier: David is a certified organic farmer in Marcelin, Saskatchewan. He crops 1500 acres growing hemp, milling oats , fava bean, barley, sweet clover and silage peas in various rotations. His family consists of his wife Karen and four daughters, Aimee
(13), Madeline (12), Brienne (7), and Colette (4). David graduated Marcelin High School and earned a Diploma in Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. He started farming in 1990, started to transition the farm to organic in 2005. The first organic crop was harvested and sold in 2008. Presently the family has been contributing to create the Fresh Air Farms brand and value add part of the organic farm production. Teresa Taylor: Teresa Taylor is a second-generation cannabis advocate. After attending Canada’s first Hempfest with her father, activist and former mayor Brian Taylor, she quickly learned the ropes of public relations. She repre-
sented the Granby Hemp Co-op at the first hemp display in the history of the PNE, and hosted the onslaught of media. Through the years, her household has held various licenses to cultivate cannabis, allowing plenty of opportunity to craft teas, edibles and tinctures. Teresa is a founding member of the Canadian Cannabis Coalition, and founding member of the Marijuana Party of Canada, running against Stockwell Day in the 2001 Federal election. The following year, she ran for the BC Marijuana Party, receiving the highest vote count for the party. Teresa holds a Bachelor of Social Work from UBC, with graduate level study in ethnobiology. She has worked
outreach in mental health and substance use, created and facilitated a drug education program for youth, and for Kelowna’s first mobile needle exchange program.

Court backs home marijuana growers BY TOM FLE TCHER Black Press
The Federal Court of Canada has struck down regulations requiring licensed medical marijuana users to buy from Ottawa-approved growers, giving people the green light to continue growing at home. The ruling is suspended for six months, but the four B.C. residents who launched the court challenge had their growing licences protected under an earlier interim
order. Thousands of people in B.C. and across Canada received licences to either grow pot themselves or designate someone else to do it, before the Conservative government attempted to restrict production to large commercial growers who sent it by mail. With the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intent on legalizing recreational marijuana use, Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the four, says the latest ruling should “once

Manx bringing the Mysticssippi sound to Cranbrook For the Townsman
Harry Manx
Rajasthan, in fact he had been living in another part of India for many years already, but he started at the beginning under Bhatt’s tutelage, unlearning most of what he knew about playing a slide instrument. He learned Eastern scales and eventually ragas, deceptively complex and regimented musical patterns that form the basis of Indian composition. Learning the voicings of Indian music is a subtle art that comes with time. Harry spent most of twelve years in India learning that. It was later on that Harry decided to explore the connection between Indian ragas and blues scales which eventually led to the Indo-blues hybrid that has become his style. Born on the Isle of Man, Manx immigrated to Ontario with his parents when he was a child. He started working with bands as a ‘roadie’ at age 15 and gradually worked his way up to becoming the
“Mysticssippi” blues man Harry Manx has been called an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. Manx is bringing that link to the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, Wednesday, March 16, for an unforgettable evening!. has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to. Harry forged his distinctive style by studying at the feet of the masters, first as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto during his formative years and then under a rigorous tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument. Harry played slide guitar for many years before meeting Bhatt in
regular sound man at the well-known El Mocambo (blues) club in Toronto. There he worked with a slew of blues legends. Harry admits that blues is still at the heart of much of his work. “I’ve always had one foot in the blues from those days … what I got from those artists is a groove. That’s what I’m particularly interested in is the groove, and that’s the way I play blues”. “I went to Europe when I was 20 and started making money as a busker,” recalls Manx. “I’ve worked mostly as a musician since then, though I did some theatre work for a while. I was a one-man band with a drums and a cymbals for a time too. It was really a lot of fun” Manx’s time in India has imbued his music with an intangible spiritual quality. “the song reveals who you are, it’s the vehicle for your message, your inspirational ideas or your story,” explained Manx. “Like many people I’m

interested in my own development as a person and that’s represented in my songs, I’m searching for truth through art and spirituality. My songs are a synthesis of everything I’ve absorbed, all my experiences and I share that. I’m glad that it means something to people.” “Indian music moves a person inward,” he explains. “It’s traditionally used in religious ceremonies and during meditations because it puts you into this whole other place (now, here). But Western music has the ability to move you outward, into celebration and dance. There are some ragas that sound bluesy, and there are ways to bend strings while playing blues that sound Indian. I may be forcing the relationship between the two musical cultures, but I keep thinking they were made for each other. That leads me to more and more experimentation. The journey has been great so far.” Manx is a prolific artist, releasing 12 albums in a 12 year span with no signs of stopping. He has received seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Music Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist and won CBC Radio’s “Great Canadian Blues Award” in 2007. His most recent original release, “Om Suite Ohm” was voted by the Montreal daily La Presse as one of only 4 CDs to watch for in 2013. Guitar Player Magazine called it “his most fully realized work to date”. Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and throw in some compelling grooves. It’s a recipe that goes down easy and leaves you hungry for more. A modern day troubadour, Canadian-born Manx sings with an intimate, quiet warmth that makes his shows mesmerizing. The subtle interplay between the haunting notes of the sitar and the gentle, rhythmic groove of the blues gives his songs a beautiful sensuality that defies comparison.

features It happened this week in Cranbrook
Continued from page 7 MOYIE LOOKS GOOD … The pay roll at the St. Eugene mine last month reached the $32,000 mark. That is a big pay roll for a town the size of Movie and spells prosperity with a big P. Then there are other good things in store for that town. More mines are being developed and the lumber industry in that immediate locality is being revived, all of which means more pay rolls and greater prosperity. The Herald has always maintained that there was a bright future in store for Moyle and the proof is rapidly accumulating. Life at the “gym” ... Life and interest is increasing at the gymnasium. Some new apparatus has been placed in the building this week and the young men are making good use of their time. Some complain that their appetites are increasing. On Monday evening a well contested game of basketball was played between “Fire Brigade” and “All Comers”. The latter won out by a small margin. Watch for the announcement of other matches. Come and enjoy the free reading room open all day and evening. Brewery news … O. S. Frizzel, according to reports, will have the management of the Cranbrook Brewery. He will take charge about the first of March. Authority needed … There are a lot of kids running loose around this city that are like some men’s promissory notes. They want settling. 1908 The Arabs arrive … The “Dokies” came to Cranbrook from Spokane last Saturday, fifty four of them. The train from the west was about three-quarters of an hour late, but when it came in the American boys were welcomed by a large crowd, including a number of gentlemen with shipping tags tied to the lapel of their coats, bearing the mystic word “Tyro,” in large red letters. Headed by the band of El Mabarraz Temple, No. 92, of Spokane, the visitors and “Tyros”, formed into line and marched to Fraternity hall, where a welcome was tendered the visitors. Mayor Fink, on behalf of the city, bid the “Dokies” welcome and ‘his nibs’ Hugo E. Oswald, and “His Nobs”, Gus Meese, replied in a very happy and suitable manner. At 8 o’clock the procession of tyros left the new opera house, headed by the “Dokie” band. What a procession it was, weird in the darkness, broken only by blue lights and the street lamps, looked the tyros in their cages and tied to the long white rope, clothed in their white flowing garments, surrounded by fierce Arabs with drawn swords of fearful

Geo. R. and James A. Leask are going to make a fortune on their new patented steam engine! and wonderful make. The procession wended its way from the new opera house down Baker Street to the Cranbrook hotel and returned and then what happened until about half past one in the morning no one knows except the “Dokies.” It must have been a warm time for some of them, if one can believe George Hoggarth and “Dune” McLean. About half past one, or such a matter, the “ Dokies” and their invited guests assembled at Fraternity Hall to enjoy the banquet. It was a splendid banquet. “Bly” did the catering and did it in his best style. Everybody was hungry and did ample justice to the viands provided. After the inner man bad been satisfied a programme of toasts and speeches was indulged in. Another post office building … Owing to the great increase in the business of the local post office it has become necessary for Postmaster Beattie to erect a temporary post office to handle the business until the now federal building is completed. Work on construction will be commenced at once on the lot immediately east of A. L. McDermot’s wholesale liquor store. The building will be 60 x 25 and will be built by day labor under the supervision of J. F. Huchcroft. Local inventors … A patent has been granted to Geo. R. and James A. Leask for a rotary steam engine by the United States patent office. George Leask informs the Herald that a company is being incorporated in Spokane to be known as the American Rotary Engine company, to manufacture the engines. It is claimed for the new engine that it will consume less steam per horse power than any other engine ever invented. Come to the movies … The Moving Picture Enterprise at the New Opera House under the management of G. J.
McHenry. The best films obtainable are exhibited by the best projecting machine procurable. F.W. Reeves sings all the illustrated Songs. Mr. Reeves is acknowledged to be one of the best singers in the Province. The ventilation of the New Opera House and the fire protection is of the best. In case of fire the house can be emptied in less than two minutes, Next Week’s Dates are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Don’t forget that this is a home enterprise, employing Cranbrook people and keeping the money in Cranbrook. Hope he’s successful … J. H. King, the member in the provincial house for this district, is making an effort to have the government build a, trunk road through the entire district, thus giving easy transportation facilities for people between the different sections. This is a most excellent idea; and the Herald trusts that Dr. King will be able to carry the matter through. In this connection the doctor is taking up again this year the project of a government bridge over the Kootenay River at Wardner. For the past three years Dr. King has labored along this line, but up to the present time has been unable to get anything more than promises but he is in hopes that the government will accede to his urgent requests of the past and make this much needed improvement. Change of calling … Believing in the great possibilities of the district of East Kootenay, R. A. Anderson, police magistrate of the city since its inception, has decided to resign and take up his former calling of real estate, insurance, conveyancing, notarial work, collecting rents and accounts. His office now is nearly opposite the Cranbrook hotel, south of the Imperial Bank. Tried to escape … The G. N. train on Monday afternoon
carried away from Fernie an undesirable character in the person of F. F. Fisk, a bad man from Montana and a fugitive from American Justice. It was not Fisk’s desire that he should take the trip. He went at the insistence of Immigration Agent Dunlop, who accompanied him to the boundary. Mr. Fisk was not, enamored of the genial I. A’s company nor does he approve of the activity of our immigration department, otherwise he would scarcely have taken the course he did. As the train, running at 20 miles an hour, was rounding a curve near Elko he stretched himself forward in a yawn oi ineffable ennui that completely deceived. The next moment he shot out the car door and plunged from the moving train into the snow. Giving a signal for the train to stop Mr. Dunlop entered into the spirit of the game and took to the snow himself. Fisk was partially stunned by his fall and had made little progress from the spot where he left his mark in the snow. He refused to get on the train again unless taken by force. He got on and he wore jewelry the rest of the trip. At Gateway Sheriff Farrow gathered him in and he will await the judgment of the United States’ court for theft. Great gifts … A fellow down in California has discovered a love powder that will cause a hen to lay an egg whether she wills or not. We have ordered a carload and expect, it here about March 15th. We are leaving a few with the “Old Man” for distribution to paid-up subscribers and ex-aldermen. Pass the eggs please. Note the time … Miss Lonely Girl wishes us to say that the clothes pin social will take place sometime in March and those having invitations will be notified as to the date and she promises a rip roaring time. Don’t miss grand treat.

This year’s budget provides $36 million for increased highway maintenance. The winner of the next highway contract for the East Kootenay region will benefit from this additional funding, which will help meet higher maintenance standards.
2
$355 million is also being provided over five years to support housing initiatives. This is a wonderful opportunity for local groups to work together and create more affordable and social housing for our communities.

BC is now the only province in Canada with AAA credit rating and balanced budget. If BC had Ontario’s credit rating, taxpayers would be paying an additional $2.45-billion every year to service provincial debt. That’s $2.45 billion BC would not have for public services or debt repayment.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 32 years to “Conrad,” and we have two terrific adult sons. My mother-in-law will be 87 soon, and Conrad is her only child. I have never had a good relationship with her in spite of all my efforts. She chose not to attend our wedding reception because it was hosted by her late ex-husband’s second wife. Instead, she told us that she stayed home, drank champagne and “cried all night.” She has a long history of making snide remarks when nobody is there to witness them. My husband and I are in Maui for a month. Prior to our departure, I provided a list (in a large font) of all contact information for family members, physicians, dentists, etc., and clipped it to a magnet on her refrigerator. While we’ve been gone, her condo has developed a basement leak. My husband and I have been on the phone with her daily regarding insurance, repair work, etc. During one call, she commented that she had no one to phone while we were away. My husband reminded her that she can call our sons, who live nearby, and she replied, “No, your wife told me not to bother them.” This was a complete lie. He told her that I would never say that, but she insisted that I had. My first reaction was to call her out on it, but I want my husband with me as a witness when I talk to her. I want to be sure I am courteous when we see her. But how do I get her to stop lying? -- Annoyed DIL Dear Annoyed: If Mom is still looking to discredit you after 32 years, it isn’t likely to change. We would also add that, as she gets older, some of this behavior may get worse. You and your husband need to politely, firmly and repeatedly correct Mom whenever she does this, so she knows she isn’t fooling anyone. Write it down, if necessary, so that when you are vacationing, there is a record. Also inform other family members of any instructions you have given Mom. You will be less aggravated knowing that others are aware of what’s going on. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “The Ones Left Behind,” who said that she and her husband raised her three kids with no help from their birth father. Now that the kids are grown, the bio-dad is back in the picture and the kids are hungry for his attention. She feels they are leaving her in the dust. I was like her children. At one point, I felt I needed to establish a relationship with my father so that I could be at peace. I did it for my own well-being and hoped my mother would understand, but she was upset and hurt. She took that anger to her grave. It saddens me to think about it. Please tell “Left Behind” that a relationship with their father is probably very healing for her children. It has nothing to do with her. If she can joyfully support them in this effort, it would be the greatest gift she could give. -- Been There Dear Been: Thank you for presenting the other side. We hope “Left Behind” sees this and understands. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ralph Max Leibel 1935 - 2016
It is with great sadness that the family of Ralph Max Leibel announces his passing on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 80. The youngest of 8 children, Ralph was born July 15, 1935 to Zelestin and Rose Leibel in Regina, Saskatchewan. Raised in Regina, he met and married his wife, Glenys, in 1960 after her graduation from Nursing school. They soon moved to Ontario so Ralph could pursue his education at DeVry. On a Christmas vacation home to the prairies, their good friends extolled the virtues of west coast living and soon enough they had packed their trunks and moved west. They settled in Vancouver for number of years where their 3 children were born. Ralph went on to work for BC Tel for decades and moved the family from Abbotsford to Cranbrook in 1978 where he worked until his retirement. Ralph is survived by daughters Gillian (Kevin) Krippes of Cranbrook, BC, Jennifer (Ron) Sargeant of Kamloops, BC and son Peter (Misty) Leibel of Cranbrook, BC. He also leaves to mourn his beloved grandchildren, Connor, Avery, Sydney and Emma as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and long time childhood friend Mike Riplinger. He was predeceased by his wife Glenys, infant son, grandson Jeremy, father and mother Zelestin and Rose, and all of his brothers and sisters. A private family service for Ralph will take place at a future date. The family gratefully declines flowers. For those so wishing, donations can be made, in memoriam, to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/ Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

After more than 25 successful years, Canada‘s Ballet Jörgen created its own unique classical ballet rendition which took to the stage at Key City Theatre, Thursday, Feb. 4 Sleeping Beauty tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography. Although many of Kimberley Dance Academy dancers were away performing in Disneyland during Sleeping Beauty`s Cranbrook performance, three lucky students were able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to perform. Kyla Redding, Savanah Flegel and International exchange student Lorenza Gonzalez were selected to take part in the local participants program. Students are selected from the local area, based on either a recommendation by their dance/theatre teachers or at an audition. Select students rehearse with the Company for two hours the day before the show and then another two to three hours prior to the performance. The dancers needed to learn the choreography quickly, listen and follow directions well and have excellent stage presence.Their roles included pages, peasant children, Rosebud Child, ladies in waiting, Submitted Thorn Hedge dancers and attendants. Ballet Jörgen recently presented Sleeping Beauty at the Key City Theatre, including some young dancers from the Kimberley Dance Congratulations KDA dancers on anAcademy other job well done!

This weekend PAST saw a fantastic opportunity for the students of Liela Cooper and Hali Duncan School of Highland Dance. They had the opportunity to study under the guidance of Alex Matthews sponsored by the Kimberley Cranbrook Highland Dance Association. Alex is a seven-time Ontario Provincial Representative, North American and Commonwealth Champion and World Champion of Highland Dance in 2008. On top of all of these accreditations, the students said that she was a lot of fun and a very enthusiastic teacher! She really connected well with the dancers. Thanks Alex! The girls are preparing for upcoming competitions including one in Cranbrook on April 16.

Organizers of the East Kootenay Festival of Performing Arts would like to thank Elizabeth and Martin Ross and all the wonderful volunteers and the capacity audience for attending the Voice concert held at the Knox Church on December 29.
The donation of $1,775 from this event was presented to to the Festival Society by Elizabeth and will go towards the increased costs of the Festival, which allows us to present all the people who have signed up for the Speech Arts, Strings, Voice and Piano, giving them the experience of performing and
being adjudicated by professional judges who give written comments so artists can work on the suggestions. This was an amazing concert and all who sang were past performers in the Festival and have gone on to higher education. We thank them for all their hard work, they were amaz-
ing, and taking the time out of their busy schedules to perform for us, and we wish them all the best in their careers. The Festival starts at the beginning of April and we are still looking for volunteers to help. If you are interested please phone Lorraine at 250-489-2609
