Dam Review, phase I complete

No urgent issues found in first phase, second phase will look more closely C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley is in receipt of the first stage of a report on the condition of the Mark Creek dam.

The city was ordered to have a dam safety review done in 2012 by the provincial Ministry of Environment. At the time, the Ministry indicated the review was long overdue and the city was not in compliance with dam safety regulations.

In a report to Council, Manager of Operations Mike Fox said that due to the dam’s somewhat unusual design — it is a double arch dam — it was a bit difficult to find a consultant to do the review. The city finally hired Northwest Hydraulic Consultants out of Kamloops to do the review, however that was delayed as well.

Said Fox in the report: “The DSR Stage 1 report prepared by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants was not submitted on time, in fact, it was very late, and the Dam Safety Officer was not happy with the intended timelines for stage two reporting. For these reasons the City has selected Urban Systems to finish the stage 2 report with NWH Consultants’ blessing. Urban Systems has committed

to working on this review and having it completed in 2016.”

As to the phase one review, no urgent issues were found with the dam, which was constructed in 1994.

However, a comprehensive‐type dam safety review is now recommended that is focused on more detailed engineering evaluations, including areas where not enough information is available.

Northwest Hydraulics first stage report says Stage 2 will involve at least a Geotechnical/ Rock Mechanics Specialist and a Concrete Dam Structural Engineer. A detailed evaluation of the dam and associated safety measures will be scrutinized during this Stage in order to deliver a Comprehensive DSR. “Based on the review of Stage 2 findings by the MFLNRO’s Dam Safety Officer, further individual studies may be required to investigate specific dam safety concerns.”

The Mark Creek dam was constructed in 1994 by the forward thinking council of the day, which wanted to get a key piece of infrastructure built while industrial taxes were still flowing from Teck Cominco. The dam is 21.5 metres high, with an arch three metres thick at the base and 1.9 metres at the crest.

“A dam breach flood wave would cause serious flooding of homes and businesses, hence the extreme consequence classification of this dam,” the review says.

There will be no repeat for defending Stone Soup Challenge champion Shelby Schiller of BJ’s Restaurant, the only Kimberley chef in the contest, as she lost the preliminary round to Rusty Cox from the Hideout on Monday.

Cox defeats defending champ Schiller Opening round of Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge concludes with a clash of two local culinary heavyweights TRE VOR CR AWLEY

There will be a new champion for the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge this year.

In an intense culinary battle, Rusty Cox of The Hideout Restaurant and Brewhouse exploited a loophole to take down Shelby Schiller, the defending champion, who represents BJ’s

Restaurant and Creekside Pub. The last matchup of the opening round at the Salvation Army soup kitchen, Schiller brought a pecan pie as a mystery ingredient that Cox had to use in his soup, however, he declined to give Schiller a mystery ingredient that she had to use in her soup.

But it wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart, as there was a strategic principle at stake.

Had Cox given her a mystery ingredient and she used it in her soup— that would automatically award her five extra points. By denying her a mystery ingredient and using the one she provided for him, Cox was

automatically up five points before voting even started.

“It was an act of aggression,” Cox said. “It’s kind of like going to battle and taking your opponent’s artillery away, so, by taking five points away, I hope I don’t lose by four points now, because that would be terrible.”

Cox ended up taking the win by a vote of 27-16 as polled by Salvation Army clientele.

Although an unorthodox strategy, the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation, which is taking the lead on organizing the Stone Soup Challenge, ended up sanctioning the move.

Schiller admitted being a little thrown off

by the luxury of not having a mystery ingredient to use.

“I was absolutely blank. No points and no basis for my soup? It stumped me more than I thought it would have,” she said. “Not having it [mystery ingredient], I was like, ‘Well, I have so many options now, it’s gotta be good.’”

While Cox hoped his tactic would add an element of psychological warfare, he knew she would be serving up a challenging mystery ingredient, but wasn’t sure what he’d see on the kitchen counter.

“I heard rumours that Shelby was bringing some kind of habanero scotch bonnet pepper powder, and I have a chilli allergy, so

that would’ve absolutely devastated me, but she didn’t follow through on it,” Cox joked. “…If she would’ve found that out, that would’ve been my doom right there.”

In the end, it turned out to be a pecan pie that Cox had to work into his soup.

Both ended up making very similar culinary creations; Schiller with a steak goulash, while Cox served up a steak vegetable soup. Both were looking over their shoulders, spying on what the other was doing with their similar ingredients.

“We kept looking over, like, ‘What are you doing? That’s what I’m doing…’,” said Schiller.

Local ‘CHAMP’ benefits from key tag service Courtesy Leah C ameron

As The War Amps 2016 Key Tags are mailed to B.C. residents, the service marks 70 years of returning lost keys to their owners.

Donations to the Key Tag Service assist members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, including Nicole Byford, 17, of Cranbrook.

Nicole was born a partial left hand amputee and has received financial assistance for the cost of recreational devices. Growing up, she has also attended regional CHAMP seminars where Champs and parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child.

“I was recently fitted with a multi-use artifi-

CHAMP has allowed me to do whatever I set my

mind to and know that the sky is the limit,” said Nicole.

Nicole’s mom, Jackie, says, “We are so grateful to CHAMP and all the people who support this amazing program which

allows our children to participate more fully in all activities. We cannot imagine our lives, or Nicole’s, without CHAMP.” The War Amps Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that

returning war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys.

Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier.

The War Amps receives no government grants and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.

BC Law Society looking at regulating law firms Ba r ry Co u lt e r

A significant change in the way lawyers in B.C. are being regulated in underway. Law Society of British Columbia’s Law Firm Regulation Task Force is holding focus groups with lawyers around the province, and that process came to Cranbrook on Tuesday, Feb. 23.

Herman Vann Ommen, first vice-president and task force chair was meeting with interested parties, lawyers and the law firms they represent, to discuss coming law-firm regulation, something new not just for B.C. and Canada, but even for other countries.

Vann Ommen spoke to the Townsman to discuss what these coming changes entail for the legal profession. He said that historically, legal ethics were centred on individual lawyers.

“An individual lawyer has a duty not to act in conflict, they have duties to maintain confidentiality — all our

duties were expressed in terms of the individual,” Vann Ommen said.

“And that’s true of legal professions around the world.

Vann Ommen said that these days, lawyers predominantly practice in firms. “Firms, we know now, are actually responsible for certain conduct,” he said. “For example, a law firm’s advertising is decided by the firm, not the individual. When a lawyer in a case acts on a conflict, usually it’s a committee of the firm that’s made the decision that it’s okay. And so it becomes inappropriate to discipline only the individual.

“We would still keep the individual duties, but what we will be saying is that firms are also going to be responsible for the behaviour they control. So that’s a way of getting at real actors.”

The same regulations still apply to individual lawyers. In a background paper on the subject, published these week on the legal

Herman Vann Ommen website slaw.ca, Vann Ommen wrote that expanding the regulatory net to include firms is expected to actually lighten the regulatory burden on individual lawyers by shifting a degree of responsibility to firms.

It’s only recently that steps have been taken to apply regulatory measures to firms as well as individual lawyers.

“Certainly the time is due,” Vann Ommen said. “Australia made moves in this direction a decade ago, England maybe five years ago. It’s tied up with a bunch of other changes there, but

this is certainly an aspect of the changes in those two countries. We always keep an eye on what’s going on around the world. And this has been a subject of comment by academics and people who are interested in regulating lawyers.

“It’s happening completely by circumstance that all the provinces from Nova Scotia west are engaged in the same exercise of looking at and proposing to regulate firms as well as individuals.”

Vann Ommen’s task force’s job is to propose a framework to put the regulations in place.

“After the consultation is finished my committee will put together a report recommending a framework. That will go to the benchers in June, maybe as late as September, and the benchers will then have to adopt it, or not (the Law Society’s Board of Directors are know as benchers). And then we’ll have to draft the precise rules.”

Moving forward, in

other words, law firms are going to be responsible for the behaviour they hold.

“Every firm has a culture — the way the lawyers act,” Vann Ommen said. “Firms affect their lawyers’ behaviour, so we’re going to say to the firms you need to have policies and procedures in place to make sure your lawyers act in the highest standards.

“So if a lawyer, for example, has a series of complaints from clients about rudeness, or not returning calls, in addition to talking to that lawyer, we will call up the firm and say, ‘Okay, what’s going on, because this is something you should be interested in, and what are you going to do to make sure that lawyer in particular smartens up, and in general, how is this happening in your firm?’”

“So we want firms to be part of the solution in terms of reducing client complaints about lawyers.”

Kootenay Ice Staying put for the time being Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It’s no secret the future of the Kootenay Ice has been on unsteady footing in Cranbrook in recent years.

With attendance numbers continuing to plummet and the team struggling through its worst season in franchise history on the ice, times are tough in Cranbrook.

If there’s one positive takeaway for hockey fans, it’s that the Kootenay Ice will remain in Cranbrook for the 201617 Western Hockey League season.

“Absolutely we will be here in 2016-17,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, whose family owns a 75.5 per cent stake in the club. “Nothing has changed in that my family wants to get out of ownership of the hockey club and have since 2011. Unfortunately, nothing has come to fruition to make that happen.”

W hile the Chynoweth family remains the majority shareholders of the club, Rob and Scott Niedermayer hold the remaining 24.5 per cent of the franchise ownership. “[Current ownership] despite declining attendance still remain

WHL commissioner says team committed to Cranbrook despite declining attendance committed to the market,” said Ron Robison, commissioner of the Western Hockey League, over the phone from Calgary Thursday afternoon. “We believe the most important step would be to have local ownership come forward and invest in the franchise to hopefully keep it in this market long-term.”

Though the Kootenay Ice will remain in Cranbrook through next season, uncertainty beyond still remains and it comes back to ownership and attendance.

The Chynoweth family wants out and the league has stressed the importance of a locally-based ownership group to help ensure the success and stability of the franchise in the East Kootenay region.

Enter City of Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt.

According to Chynoweth, Mayor Pratt — who is also a Kootenay Ice season-ticket holder — helped facilitate a Cranbrook-based group of interested investors, which included Rob Niedermayer and others. The group met with WHL commissioner Ron Robison and vice-president of business Yvonne Bergmann in Cranbrook back in

October and November 2015.

“Unfortunately, nothing came to be of that,” Chynoweth said.

“I think the league is looking at all [ownership] options… The bottom line is my family cannot continue to run the hockey club with the numbers [attendance] that we’re drawing right now.”

The Townsman extended interview requests to both Mayor Pratt and Rob Niedermayer Thursday afternoon. By print deadline Thursday evening, neither had responded.

“We’ve been in constant discussion with the mayor and with the community at large,” Robison said. “We’re certainly looking for investors to come forward. We rely heavily on local people with influence in the community to bring forward credible investors and yet that has not occurred to date. There have been expressions of interest and we hoped that expression of interest would lead to investors.

We’re still hopeful that will happen, but to date, that has not occurred.

“We’re going to continue to work at it to find ways to encourage local investors to come forward. That is certainly

our preference. But in the event that doesn’t occur soon, we’re going to have to reevaluate the position moving forward.”

With all that said, ownership uncertainties remain a key problem in determining the future of the Kootenay Ice. At the root of that issue is the state of attendance for Western Hockey League games played at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook.

In June 2015, Robison stated the franchise needed to see a turnaround at the gates to the tune of an average of 3,000 fans per night if the club were to remain financially viable in Cranbrook.

While the toughest on-ice season in franchise history has seen the Kootenay Ice go 1042-5-0 and undoubtedly had an impact on ticket sales, the harsh reality is attendance has dropped drastically from the 2014-15 campaign to 2015-16.

The club averaged 2,239 spectators at Western Financial Place during 2014-15.

Through 29 home games in 2015-16, an average of 1,937 fans per night makes for a vertiginous drop of

13.49 per cent from from last season to this season.

“We knew it was going to be a down year on the ice,” Chynoweth said. “Maybe not as down as it has been.

The way were trending, it was probably going to be down off the ice as well. It has been a perfect storm. Not a lot of things have gone right, both on and off the ice.”

When the Kootenay Ice first moved into the 4,264-seat Western Financial Place (2000-01), average nightly attendance was 3,635. In the 15 years since, average nightly attendance has dropped by an earth-shattering 46.71 per cent.

While Robison has eased on his expectations of 3,000 fans per night, the fact remains pretty plain — 1,937 fans per game is not enough.

“The number needs to get back up into the 2,800 to 3,000 range in order for it to be on very solid footing,” Robison said. “At minimum, we need 2,500 to 2,600 a game. That would certainly be very encouraging. But the current numbers are just not going to work.”

According to WHLstats.ca, the Kootenay

Ice own the worst attendance record in the league this season. Next on the list is the Swift Current Broncos (1,975 per night average) and Prince Albert Raiders (2,334).

At the other end of the spectrum, the Calgary Hitmen hold the highest average nightly attendance in the league with 8,196 fans per game. But in a market of more than one million people and with NHL ownership running the operation, the Hitmen don’t make for a fair comparison with the small-market Kootenay Ice. So while there still isn’t a resolution in place regarding the long-term fate of the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, local hockey fans can rest assured knowing their team will remain in town for at least one more season.

“We care deeply for those fans that have supported this team through thick and thin,” Robison said. “No question, there’s a very strong, core fan base but the reality is, what are the numbers we need to make the franchise work long-term?

“That’s the same in any small market where there’s a challenge with attendance and getting

the numbers to a level that’s going to keep this franchise financially viable moving forward.

“This is not a message to the fans that have been loyal through all of this. It’s the fans that are not supporting the team that we need to come out and the community at large that needs to support this team moving forward.”

Despite a quality onice product that includes three WHL championships (2000, 2002, 2011), a Memorial Cup championship (2002), 17 consecutive playoff appearances and 16 straight season with a regular-season record of .500 or better (though that will come to an end at the conclusion of 2015-16), attendance woes have not shown signs of improvement, but rather steady and steep decline.

“You’re always trying to say the glass is half full and you’re going to move forward,” Chynoweth said. “The question remains is how long can my family operate at the current levels? Guaranteed we are here for 2016-17.

“I can’t commit to anything longer than that because I don’t know what the future holds. I hope it is in Cranbrook. But time will tell if that materializes.”

Petulance: The English Way W hat would you call a country that called for “a structure under which [Europe] can dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom... a kind of United States of Europe” at the end of the Second World War (Winston Churchill, 1946), but refused to join that structure when its European neighbours actually began building it (European Economic Comunity, 1957)?

What would you call that country if it changed its mind and asked to join the EEC in 1961, a goal it finally achieved in 1973 under Conservative prime minister Edward Heath – only to demand a renegotiation of its terms of membership and hold an In/Out referendum on EEC membership under a Labour government two years later?

What would you say if that country then demanded another renegotiation of the terms of membership under Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984, and insisted on opting out of the planned single currency when the countries of the European Community (as it now styled itself ) signed the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992?

And what would you say about that country’s behaviour if another Conservative prime minister, David Cameron, demanded ANOTHER renegotiation on the terms of membership in what is now called the European Union in 2013, and promised ANOTHER referendum once the results were known?

The word “ambivalent” would certainly spring to mind. “Capricious” also has a strong claim to be the right word. But the adjective that really sums up Britain’s behaviour in its 70-year love-hate relationship with the European project is “petulant”.

There’s going to be another referendum on whether the United Kingdom should stay in the European Union on 23 June. Not that Prime Minister Cameron

wants to leave the EU, of course. His 2013 promise of a referendum was mainly an attempt to steal votes from the United Kingdom Independence Party, which did indeed want to leave, in the 2015 election.

But Cameron couldn’t walk away from his promise after he won the election, because half of his own party wants to leave the European Union. Jeremy Corbyn, the new leader of the Labour Party, is at best lukewarm about the the EU, viewing it essentially as a capitalist plot that has some positive side-effects. And reGwynne cent opinion polls suggest that the referendum could Dyer go either way.

These are not the best of times for the EU. It has not responded well to the wave of mostly Midde Eastern refugees that began rolling across its frontiers early last year. It is suffering from chronic low growth and high unemployment (although the United Kingdom itself is doing quite well on both fronts). It is becoming clear that the adoption of the euro common currency by nineteen EU countries was a major mistake.

There is therefore a lot of disillusionment about the EU even among its core members on the European mainland, and some people fear that “Brexit” (a British exit from the Union) would start to unravel all the other deals and compromises that went into the construction of this historically unlikely structure. But why are the British always the most disaffected ones?

All the countries on the west coast of Europe lost their overseas empires in the decades after the Second World War, and Britain is not the only one to cling to delusions of grandeur in the aftermath.

France, too, has a highly inflated view of its own importance. But the French understand the cost of European disunity much better than the British, because they paid a higher price.

It has to do with the fact that Britain is an island. Almost every other European country except Switzerland and Sweden has seen serious fighting on its own soil in the past hundred years. Many of them have seen it several times, and about half of them have been partly or wholly occupied by foreign troops for long periods.

Whereas Britain has not been successfully invaded for almost a thousand years.

Britain is not alone in seeing the follies of the EU bureaucracy and resenting the cost of the compromises that have to be made to keep the enterprise alive. It IS alone, or almost alone, in seeing European unity purely as an optional project, to be reassessed from time to time by calculating its economic benefits and weighing them against its political and emotional costs for Britain.

EMOTIONAL costs? Yes, and this is where the petulance comes from. There is a fantasy, still quite prevalent in England, that the country could have a much more satisfying future as a fully independent player, unshackled from the dull and stodgy European Union and living by its wits as a swashbuckling global trader. To which one can only say: Good luck with that.

This romantic vision is not shared by the Scots, who would certainly break away if English votes took the United Kingdom out of the EU. But an independent Scotland might find it hard to claim EU membership after the divorce, as Madrid would not want to establish a precedent that Catalonian separatists could use to argue that breaking away from Spain would be painless.

Most British leaders have worked hard to manage the inflated expectations of English super-patriots and keep the country more or less on track. Cameron has dropped the ball, and the consequences for both Britain and Europe may be quite serious.

Dynamiters blank Ghostriders in Game 1

Kimberley claims decisive victory in Game 1 of Eddie Mountain Division semifinal; Game 2 set for Wednesday in Fernie TAYLOR ROCC A

It didn’t take long for the Kimberley Dynamiters and Fernie Ghostriders to renew a longstanding, fierce playoff rivalry.

In Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal, it was the Kimberley Dynamiters coming out on top, knocking around the Fernie Ghostriders — both in the corners and on the scoreboard — en route to a 6-0 victory at the Kimberley Civic Centre Tuesday evening.

“We worked pretty hard the last couple days trying to establish roles that every player was going to fulfill and make sure we celebrate the role, sometimes as simple as a fourth-line cycle of the puck down low and keeping the puck in their end and tiring out a top ‘D’ pair,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, following Tuesday’s Game 1 win. “I thought we did a really good job of playing our roles.”

While the home team fulfilled its roles and brought its work boots to the rink, the same could not be said for the visiting Ghostriders, who were outshot 40-23 by the end of the night.

“The first period was good and then in the second period we got away from what we do well, which is finishing checks and creating stuff,” said Craig Mohr, head coach and general manager of the Fernie Ghostriders. “[The Dynamiters] did it. You’ve got to credit that team.

They came out in the second and third period and they took it to us.

Let’s not sugarcoat it.

Our guys are strong enough that they know we got thumped in those last two periods.

“The nice thing about a playoff series is it’s one game.”

Hometown boy Jared Marchi got Game 1 headed in the right direction for the Dynamiters, redirecting a Keenan Haase point shot on the power play to give Kimberley a 1-0 lead 12:29 into the first period.

“It’s super important in Game 1 to come out and set a good physical tone and let them know

we’re not going to be pushed around at all,” Marchi said Tuesday.

“We’re really going to show them what the series is going to be all about.

“You know every shift you step on the ice you’re going to war against the guy that comes out against you on the faceoff. You’ve got to be mentally focused, prepared and willing to do anything to outwork that guy.”

By the end of the night, Marchi helped lead the way, registering two goals and an assist — including the game-winning marker — while goaltender Tyson Brouwer, who was named Eddie Mountain Division Goaltender of the Year prior to the game, pitched a 23-save shutout for the victory between the pipes .

“With the series shifting to Fernie [for Game 2], it’s important that we get the wins at home,” Brouwer said Tuesday.

“It was good to take care of the win here at home first and now we’ll go to work [Wednesday].”

Outside of Marchi’s tally, the opening 20 minutes were calm, cool, collected and tightly contested.

When the second period rolled around, the ice tilted heavily in favour of the home team and there was little balance from there on.

Eric Buckley parked himself on the doorstep of Jeff Orser’s crease, banging a rebound past the Ghostriders goaltender only 3:22 into the middle period to double the advantage for the Dynamiters.

Then the bodies started flying.

First, Fernie forward Nolan Lagace took a run at Jordan Busch in Kimberley territory, flattening the Edmonton native into the corner boards.

As Lagace popped up, in stormed Nitros captain Jason Richter to level the native of Fort St. John and even the exchange.

Unfortunately for the Ghostriders, the exchange wasn’t quite as even on the score sheet as Lagace was handed a two-minute minor and game misconduct for

checking from behind, while Richter received a two-minute minor for charging.

After Keagan Kingwell was tagged with a hooking minor, Korbyn Chabot redirected a Trey Doell point shot to give the Dynamiters a commanding 3-0 advantage with 7:33 remaining in the second.

Less than a minute later, Richter delivered the knockout punch, chipping a rebound past Orser for a 4-0 Kimberley lead.

Mohr immediately called timeout and sent Brandon Butler on in relief of Orser between the pipes.

“The goalies did their jobs tonight,” Mohr said.

“There could have been a few more [goals] without them. There’s no issue there. I thought they both did a very good job tonight.

“Pulling Jeff [Orser] when we did was more he’s getting shelled back there, we’re not as coaches going to let him hang out to dry.

“We’re going to look at it and see where we go forward with the goaltending situation. But it’s a nice one we have because they’re both playing well right now.”

Orser had made 18 saves on 22 shots when he was removed from the game, including a couple showstoppers in the first period, stoning Sawyer Hunt and Buckley to keep his team within one.

Butler came on and was solid early as well, particularly to start the third period as the Dynamiters kept the Ghostriders on their heels.

Eventually, the slippery Buckley found some open ice in the slot, taking a beautiful pass from Devon Langelaar and sending it past Butler for a 5-0 Kimberley lead.

Marchi rounded out the scoring by sending an howitzer from the point past Butler on the man advantage late in the proceedings.

Butler, the 5-foot-8 native of Calgary, had made 16 saves on 18 shots when the final buzzer sounded.

At the other end of

With Ghostriders forward Zach Befus bearing down, Brouwer stood tall and flashed the leather to make a critical glove save, preserving his team’s 2-0 lead.

The rough-and-tumble game saw plenty of special teams action, with the Dynamiters converting on 3-of-3 power-play chances. At the other end, the Ghostriders came up empty on seven power-play opportunities.

There’s no breathing room for either team, as the Dynamiters and Ghostriders will get right back to it Wednesday evening with Game 2 slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Fernie Memorial Arena.

“For us, it’s a smaller ice surface [in Fernie].

We’ve got to get pucks in deep on them,” Mohr said looking ahead to Game 2. “We’ve got to pin them down with our forecheck. If you don’t, with that offensive group they have, if you just let them break out and hit your blueline clean with speed, they’re dangerous. They’re good hockey players. The best way

to combat that is to make them play in their own zone.

“The nice thing about playoffs is tomorrow’s a new day. We’ve got to look at it that way. We can’t look at yesterday.

We’ve got to look ahead… Tomorrow is the big test. We’re going back to our house. We’ve got to win in our house.”

For Bancks and the Dynamiters, the goal is to maintain momentum heading into Game 2 and not allow Mohr’s

Ghostriders any opportunity to get life at home.

“Nothing is going to change,” Bancks said.

“Things happen a little quicker in their rink. You have to move the puck quicker on the power play. It’s going to be more physical in tighter space. You just have to take care of business. I’m looking forward to it.”

Following Wednesday’s Game 2 in Fernie, the series shifts back to the Kimberley Civic Centre Friday night (7

p.m.) for Game 3.

Notes: Eddie Mountain Division vice-president Phil Iddon was on hand prior to Game 1, presenting a league banner to commemorate the Dynamiters’ Eddie Mountain Division title and KIJHL regular-season crown… Iddon also presented Brouwer with his award as the division’s goaltender of the year, while Jordan Busch was also named Eddie Mountain Division Defenceman of the Year…

Alfaro, Zborosky continue to carry heavy load for Ice Veteran forwards soldier on despite being eliminated from post-season race as three-game home stand begins Wednesday TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The harsh reality has been a long time coming, but the Kootenay Ice were officially and mathematically eliminated from the Western Hockey League playoff race this past weekend.

It’s a tough reality for players and coaches to face, but one that has been on the horizon. It might be even tougher for fans to swallow, considering 2016 will mark the first time in 18 seasons the franchise has failed to qualify for the WHL post-season.

“Guys have understood for a little while here now that playoffs weren’t really realistic and have had to find different ways to stay motivated,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Tuesday afternoon prior to practice at Western Financial Place.

“For the most part, with the exception of a couple blips here and there, I think we’ve done a pretty good job of being consistent in our effort level. That is going to continue to be a real big focus — continuing to work to be better.

“Let’s be honest — there’s no question there will be changes here going into next year. Do you want to be on the right side or the wrong side of those changes? It’s certainly not a threat, it’s just reality. You can’t finish the way we have and not expect changes. I think there’s plenty of motivation that way for individual guys.”

Kootenay Ice (10-44-50), the Brandon Wheat Kings (37-18-3-2) present the next opponent when they pay a visit to Western Financial Place Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Fans don’t have to look far to find a pair of players putting in consistent efforts and key contributions for coach Pierce on a nightly basis.

Linemates Matt Alfaro and Zak Zborosky have progressed together over the years, both beginning their junior careers with the Ice in 2013-14. After playing second fiddle to the likes of Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau, Luke Philp and Tim Bozon, 2015-16 has been the year for Alfaro and Zborosky to step into the spotlight and take on more responsibility.

“There’s been a tremendous amount [of growth],” Pierce said of Alfaro and Zborosky.

“There’s a lot that gets lost in what’s been a difficult season. But you get some time to reflect on some things and cer-

tainly the play of those two has been a real bright spot.

“There’s been nights where we’ve wanted a lot more from them and continue to push expectations. That’s something they’ve grown to appreciate a little more.

Early on when we had really high expectations, they maybe thought they were unfounded and wanted to stay kind of in the shadows a little bit.

“But they’ve been thrust into it and since Christmas, I think they’ve really embraced it and done a much better job. It’s impressive for those guys to be point-a-game players without a lot of offensive help.”

With 11 points in his past five games, Zborosky (3-8-11) continues to build upon a career year. The 19-year-old Regina native has registered 24 goals, 29 assists and 53 points through 46 games — all new career highs.

“He knows where to be on the ice, he’s got a

That’s an underrated part of his game.

“We work well together and I can find him for one-timers and he knows how to finish.”

With six points in his past four games, Alfaro (1-5-6) is clicking along efficiently himself. The 19-year-old Calgary native has tallied 17 goals, 22 assists and 39 points through 58 games — all new career highs as well.

“The biggest thing is confidence, you can tell that he’s very confident on the ice in his abilities,” Zborosky said of his linemate Alfaro. “He gets a lot of opportunities out there as well.

When you put those two together it’s an opportunity for success.”

Last week in an 11-1 loss at Brandon, coach Pierce highlighted the play of his veterans, particularly Alfaro and Zborosky, making mention of their continued effort and battle despite the path the game took.

With the Wheat Kings in town Wednesday night, both Alfaro and Zborosky will once again be relied upon to lead the charge for a young club that is simply playing out the stretch and building towards next season.

“It’s tough, some people can look at it as there’s nothing really to play for anymore,” Zborosky said. “I still think guys have to realize that with the season we’ve

had this year, everyone is fighting for a spot for next year. You can’t really take these games off.

That will work over to next year.”

On top of their added offensive responsibilities, both Alfaro and Zborosky have stepped into larger leadership roles this season and it’s apparent in hearing them speak about what is a new situation for a franchise that has come accustomed to winning and qualifying for the post-season.

“It’s obviously not something we’re used to, especially for the veteran guys,” Alfaro said.

“You’ve really just got to push through, keep going every day, look forward to next season and take it one game at a time.

KOOTENAY INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE

Nitehawks hold off Leafs in high-scoring Game 1 T YLER HARPER Nelson Star

Dylan Heppler and Kyle Hope each scored twice as the Beaver Valley Nitehawks held off a Nelson comeback to beat the Leafs 7-5 in Game 1 of the Neil Murdoch Division semifinals in Fruitvale on Tuesday.

Jason Weegar, Blake Sidoni and Tyler Hartman also scored for Beaver Valley. Brett Clark meanwhile made 38 saves for the Nitehawks.

Nicholas Ketola, Riley

Swiscoski, Matt Sokol, Brendan Smith and Rayce Miller replied for the Leafs. Goalie Josh Williams got the start but was pulled early after allowing three goals on nine shots. Patrick Ostermann took over and finished with 36 saves.

Game 2 is Wednesday in Fruitvale before the series moves to Nelson Friday and Saturday.

Where Williams looked unprepared Ostermann was steady. He

was especially good in the third period with several close saves included one in which he slid to the post to deny a Nitehawks shooter right at the goal-line.

The Leafs made a game of it down 5-3 in the third. Sam Weber used speed to race in and fire a shot that Smith tipped past Clark to make it a one-goal game with under eight minutes left in regulation.

But less than a min-

ute later Heppler scored his second of the game, banging a rebound past Ostermann to give the Nitehawks an insurance goal they spent most of the game not needing.

The Leafs pulled Ostermann with less than two minutes left and the move paid off. Miller jammed the puck in at 1:28 to make it a onegoal lead and give the Leafs late hope. But the lightning didn’t strike twice and Hope scored

an empty-net goal to put the game out of reach.

The Nitehawks rattled the Leafs early in the first period with three goals in just over a minute.

Leaflets: Nelson played a nearly full roster for the first time in recent memory. Only D Dash Thompson (upper body), F Blair Andrews (upper body) and D Max Daerendinger (upper body) were missing from the lineup.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are both driven and efficient, yet others could misunderstand your intent. A close associate will push you to take action. This person seems to think words just won’t cut it.

Your paths might be different, which could trigger some fireworks. Tonight: Try to detach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity surges when you get into a disagreement with a loved one. You could be in a position where you’ll need to carry certain responsibilities in order to realize a key objective.

Are you willing to incorporate more obligations into your day?

Tonight: Let your hair down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might feel as if you’re able to handle a lot of demands all at once. To many people, you appear to be very driven, but you are just following your natural pace. Your sense of humor brings relief later in the afternoon. You will accomplish a lot. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be willing to use more creative means to get the results you desire. Many of you will be focused on your personal life more than your professional life. Others can’t help but respond to your inquiries and actions. You desirability speaks as well. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You understand where you must invest more; whether it is an emotional or a financial investment depends on the situation.

You can’t stall any longer, nor should you. Communication will confirm what you are thinking.

As a result, you feel supported.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are likely to notice that your words carry your message with exactitude. You also will witness a strong response from others, which pleases you. In fact, you might decide to make an extra call or two, which you have been putting off for a while. Tonight: Indulge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Much is going on behind the

Tundra

scenes that you would like to deal with, especially as there could be financial ramifications involved. Meanwhile, try to maintain a low profile as much as possible during the daylight hours. Think rather than act.

Tonight: Claim your power.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a message, and your intentions are clear. If someone doesn’t get what you are saying, restate your thought in different words until he or she hears it loud and clear. Woe to those who decide to turn away from you! Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds to take a stand and express your beliefs. You have the energy, and possibly even the anger, to move forward with this matter. Look past someone’s knee-jerk reactions, and keep your eye on the longterm results. Tonight: Friends and loved ones surround you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to an expert in order to get his or her impression about a certain matter. This

person might not be as familiar with your personal life as those around you, so he or she is likely to offer you a different perspective and unbiased feedback.

Tonight: Relax to a favorite pastime.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll want to have a discussion with a key person in your life.

One-on-one relating emerges as your strong suit, even though you sometimes prefer not to get so intense about certain issues.

In any case, you’ll be following someone else’s lead. Tonight: Treat your mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are able to see a situation from a different point of view.

You might want to see how others approach the same matter.

You could end up deferring to them as a result. Experience is great, but the result are not always the same. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing a very nice man for more than a year. We are both in our late 50s and divorced. He is affectionate and kind, and I love him quite a lot. He doesn’t have any of the obvious problems -- money, drugs or alcohol, but one thing bothers me a lot. He likes to wear women’s thigh-high stockings.

He started wearing the stockings near the end of his previous marriage. His ex wouldn’t wear them, so he decided to try them himself and ended up liking them a lot. He says they give him a lot of pleasure and make him feel sexy. He was upfront about it early in our relationship, and I said I didn’t think it would be a problem.

He likes wearing them around the house and in public under his pants. He doesn’t want his friends and co-workers to know.

He’s not a cross-dresser or anything like that. It’s just the stockings.

The problem is, I haven’t been able to accept it as well as I thought I could. I wear the stockings for him, which pleases him a lot, but he still wants to wear them, too. He agreed to put them on only once a week until I adjusted, but now he says he’s getting frustrated. I’m resisting. I’ve told him I don’t see this as very manly behavior. He says he feels a need to express his feminine side. I don’t want to lose him, but I’m not sure how to deal with this. Can you help me? -- Thigh High in Confusion Dear Confusion: If your boyfriend derives sexual satisfaction from wearing women’s stockings, he is a cross-dresser, even though he may not wear the whole ensemble. We are glad he was upfront about it, but you need to educate yourself on the subject, so you can decide how tolerant you can be. Cross-dressing does not mean that your boyfriend is gay (most cross-dressers are not) or that he plans to change his sexual identity (not likely).

The stockings may be as far as it ever goes.

Check out tri-ess.org for information and support -- and please don’t judge the book by its cover. He’s still the man you fell for.

Dear Annie: I’d like to weigh in on the letter from “Wondering in Pennsylvania,” who asked how to have a surprise wedding as part of a picnic.

My husband and I had a surprise wedding in the large backyard of a home we had just purchased. We sent invitations inviting everyone to a picnic, claiming that we were recently married. The invitations were artist-drawn, and we specified that the recipients’ presence was all that was required, which took everyone off the hook of bringing gifts or food. We hired a caterer, parking attendants, a cleanup crew and an officiant, and did all of the decorating ourselves.

It was a huge hit, and people still mention how lovely it was. Even my mother didn’t know there was going to be an actual wedding until the last minute. That was 29 years ago. Tell “Wondering” that it can be done. -- A. Dear A.: We like that you handled all of the details on your own and didn’t expect the guests to bring their own food. Bravo.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

For the Townsman

A delightful East Kootenay Music Teachers Assocation concert was held in the Care Facility of Joseph Creek on the evening of February 18, where 28 performers entertained a full house of residents and family. The girls performed well on the piano, cello and voice, and also looked beautiful. Thank you to the staff, residents and family members for making this a pleasurable experience for the students.

Pink Shirt Day focuses on the importance of Kindness Over $1.2 million raised from t-shirts sales for anti-bullying programs in BC since 2008 On February 24, 2016 the CKNW Orphans’ Fund are encouraging all British Columbians to wear pink and support anti-bullying programs in the province.

The official pink shirt is available now in all London Drugs stores and online at PinkShirtDay.ca.

Since 2008, over $1.2 million has been raised for the cause through the sale of pink shirts and granted to non-profit organizations including Boys & Girls Clubs, Red Cross RespectED Violence Prevention Program and Kids Help Phone. These programs teach children empathy, kindness and the importance of building healthy relationships – both with themselves and their peers.

The tshirt design was created pro-bono by award-winning advertising agency ‘Rethink’ and states “Kindness is one size fits all”. Kindness is universal — a trait the CKNW Orphans’ Fund

encourage everyone to openly express every day. The phrase “one size fits all” works for one simple reason: it stands for inclusivity, both in clothing and in our everyday lives. We’re all gloriously different, but we all have the capacity to put kindness out into the world.

Coast Capital Savings, a large supporter and presenting sponsor of Pink Shirt Day, is passionate about the cause. “Our community promise is to help build a richer future for youth. One of the ways we do this is by

supporting anti-bullying initiatives, like Pink Shirt Day, that teach kindness and respect, attributes that are important in helping to build belonging.” says Wendy Lachance, Director, Community Leadership.

A number of fundraising campaigns are also running across the province in the month of February including pink cupcakes at Take Five Café, classes by donation on Pink Shirt Day at YYoga and more.

Net proceeds will benefit the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of anti-bul-

We are proud to support

lying programs in BC. For updates on CKNW Orphans’ Fund Pink Shirt Day please visit www. pinkshirtday.ca, on Twitter @pinkshirtday, and on Facebook.

About Pink Shirt Day: In 2007, two Nova Scotia students decided to take action after witnessing a younger student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. The students bought 50 pink t-shirts and encouraged schoolmates to wear them and send a powerful message of solidarity to the bully. CKNW Orphan’s Fund was inspired

by the story and to date have raised more than $1.2 million for anti-bullying programs in British Columbia with the sales of Pink Shirt Day T-Shirts.

About CKNW Orphans’ Fund: Dedicated to enhancing the lives of children with social, physical and mental challenges living in BC communities.

We provide funding to both individual children and organizations for a variety of developmental needs, with an emphasis on therapies, educational bursaries and specialized medical equipment..
