Kimberley comes out for the Canadian Cancer Society this Saturday as the Slopes for Hope fundraising event returns to the Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Kimberley Nordic Club. All you have to do — individually or as a team — is 14 descents of the Main or four loops of the six K cross country track at the Nordic Club. But first you have to register, which about 45 people have done so far,

though event organizer Sonya Parker says she knows of many more people who plan to take part. You can register at slopesforhope. ca or you can register this Saturday morning at KAR. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. if you want to do it in person. The really exciting news, Parker says, is that the event is already at 70 per cent of the fundraising goal. “We have $14,000 in online pledges and that is changing daily. We are so thrilled with that. See SLOPES, page 5

CASH AWARD

The Cranbrook Curling Club brought out the big guns to help generate excitement for the Sportsnet Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge during a Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday. Kevin Martin, a legendary Canadian figure in the game of curling, was in town to tour through the area and help the sports broad-

casting network build up some local sponsorship buzz. Martin, along with Rob Depodesta, Manager, Integrated Sponsorship Sales, gave a brief presentation to media and interested dignitaries following a monthly chamber luncheon at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort. “The Tour Challenge is coming here—that’s the biggest event,” said Martin.

Chef Cox wins Stone Soup Challenge

Trevor Crawley

Chef Rusty Cox is the new Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge champion. By a razor-thin margin of 6-5 in voting from fellow chefs and celebrity judges, Chef Cox, with The Heidout Restaurant and Brewhouse, won the title with his lemongrass ginger chicken and vegetable creation. Chef Graham Barnes, representing Max’s Place, challenged with a split-pea with bacon soup, as the two went head-to-head at the final matchup at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort on Wednesday. They were judged by fellow chefs that had been knocked out in previous rounds, along with some local celebrity personalities. Chef Cox was recognized for winning the title with a trophy tablet from Kootenay Granite. “It was just nice to be invited back,” Chef Cox said. “First year, once you do things, you’re never quite sure if you’re

Mountain Resort ballroom. Chef Cox had a lot of prep work to start his soup, while Chef Barnes had a lot of moving parts to wrap up his soup. “The important thing is to cook the bacon first, get all the fat out, then you cook all your vegetables in the fat for the good flavour,” Barnes said. “It’s one I’ve made for a long time at the store and people love it and I get lots of good comments on it. I make it all the time so it’s familiar.

zania, in Zanzibar, for Fairmont Hotels, and we had wild lemongrass growing all throughout the resort. So it’s one of the things that I love to cook with. “So we had lemongrass, ginger, onions and garlic as the base for the soup and then everything else just built on that.” The two chefs had a budget of $125 to buy any ingredients they wanted to create whatever soup they wanted for a sold-out audience in the Prestige Rocky

fundraising goal. “I’m really happy,” Jacob said. “I’ve got some really engaged and committed sponsors. The chefs are awesome. They were excited to come back. “Watching them work is pretty special — they’re culinary geniuses — and it’s so fun to witness.” Jacob noted the inclusion of the Salvation Army clientele and their importance to creating excitement around the stone soup challenge. “They’re really and

essential part to the entire event,” Jacob said. “They were showing up every day. They were asking when the next competition was, they were sampling the soups, they were casting a vote, they were really critiquing the soups and the chefs and wanting to know more about what was going on.” The final was the culmination of two weeks of opening and semifinal round culinary action at the Salvation Army Soup kitchen. Aside from Chef Cox and Chef Barnes, participants included: Chef Lindsay Waugh (Hot Shots Cafe, Culinary Arts student), Chef Kevin McDonald (West Coast Grill), Chef Doug Wagner (St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino), Chef Shelby Schiller (BJ’s Restaurant and Creekside Pub), Chef Carmen Alaric (Salvation Army) and celebrity chef David D.

The three dads all play with their daughters in league curling and then practice together as well. “It’s quite unique,” Buchy said. “All the parents are heavily involved in the girl’s curling.” “It’s our belief that the girls are as prepared as they could be and curling at the highest level,” said Farquhar. “There will be some new faces and unfamiliar names in Delta, but a couple of teams we recognize from junior provincials as well. The competition will be good.” Farquahar believes that as a parent it will be far more difficult to watch than to play and he says he’ll do his best to be coach, not dad. “Parents don’t ever

want to see their child fail. And traditionally parents can be harder on their own kids. You have to be cautious how you approach those conversations. Tom is so experienced we usually leave that to him, but now I’m forced into it. Hopefully I can separate the dad from the coach.” You can follow the senior Buchy team at the mixed on playdowns.com and the junior team at the high school provincials at curlinggeek.com. It would be impossible for either of these teams to pursue their passion for curling without help from sponsors. Team Buchy wished to extend its thanks and gratitude to its generous community sponsors and supporters,

Curling is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also a family sport. It is not uncommon to find second, third and fourth generation curlers. In Kimberley, two successful teams are heading to two different provincial championships this week and it is very much a family affair. The Buchy rink, featuring skip Tom Buchy, third Lori Buchy, second Dave Toffolo and lead Robyn Toffolo is headed to Qualicum Beach for the Provincial Mixed championship — an event the team has won three times before. The other Buchy rink, skipped by Alysha Buchy and featuring third Kaila Buchy, second Haylie Farquhar and lead Arissa Toffolo, is headed to Delta for the Provincial High School championships. And just to add a little more family, because the team is cocoached by Tom, Dave and Haylie’s dad Grant, Grant Farquahar will take on coaching duties of the girls by himself — seeing as all the other parents will be occupied. “We all fly out Wednesday,” Buchy said. “The games start Thursday (today). Grant will take the girls team and we’ll try to follow what’s going on, but still focus on the task at hand for us.” That could be difficult but the older Buchy rink certainly has the experience to do it. “We’ve won it three times before. If we’re there, we’ve got a chance,” he said. “We were runner up last year, so we just need to be one game better. Our goal is to make the playoffs and see what happens.” As for the girl’s team, Buchy says they’ve put in the hours and have a legitimate chance. “The girls have worked extremely hard this year. They are excited to go and hoping for a good week. They’ve been playing really well this year. It’s just a matter of making the shots and maybe getting a little lucky here and there.” All three families spend a lot of time at the

Martin pitches Slam From Page 1 “There’s 60 teams, the biggest in number [on the Grand Slam circuit].” The Tour Challenge will feature professional 30 mens and women’s teams from around the world competing in two separate tiers of curling action. The top level teams will curl in Tier 1, while there will be another bracket for Tier 2. Martin added that ever since the Grand Slam was created with a single event in the early 1990s—before expanding to multiple events after the turn of the century—the quality of play has become more exciting while featuring the best curlers in the world. He illustrated his point by noting that only three teams that recently competed in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts—the women’s national championship—would qualify for the Tour Challenge event.

“Only three teams would’ve qualified out of the Scotties field to come here,” Martin said. “Two teams in the Tier 1 event and one team in the Tier 2 event. “Jennifer Jones, of course, would’ve qualified for the Tier 1; Chelsea Carey—ranked number 10 in the world—she would’ve qualified for the Tier 1 event here. Kerri Einarson, ranked 16th in the world, would’ve qualified for the Tier 2 event, not the Tier 1 if you can imagine.” The calibre of play is high, which translates into strong television ratings, Martin continued. That is due to the two-fold success of Sportsnet growing the sport, and the Grand Slam events, which were originally created to give young curlers a competitive outlet after losing to veterans who would go on to compete in the Tim Horton’s Brier or the Scotties

Tournament of Hearts. “The bottom line of the Grand Slams; the reason they exist is for junior curling—for growth in kids,” Martin said. “But the premise is of the best of the best playing around the world, the best teams in the world, playing on the best ice conditions…” Rick O’Neill, the president of the Cranbrook Curling Club, also gave a brief presentation to chamber members during the luncheon to introduce Martin and give a breakdown of what will be happening between Nov. 8-13, 2016. The event will take over the ice surfaces at Western Financial Place and the Memorial Arena during the duration of the competition. Sportsnet will have a minimum of 18 hours of broadcasting airtime, which doesn’t include promotions leading up to the event.

Career and job fair at COTR

Annual Career and Job Fair set for March 9

The tenth annual Career and Job Fair is shaping up to be another great event. Representatives from dozens of local and national companies, government agencies and professional associations will be on hand from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 9 at College of the Rockies’ Cranbrook main campus. The Career and Job Fair, a partnership between Kootenay Business Magazine, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group and College of the Rockies, is the largest career networking event in the East Kootenays. “This is an excellent opportunity for those looking for work or for a career change to discover what opportunities are available to them,” says Mary Davies, College of the Rockies Career and Placement Officer. “We encourage job seekers to come to this event prepared – to dress neatly, have resumes on hand and take the time to talk about their skills to employers – whether they

are looking for a career, for summer employment, or both.” The event will bring companies into direct contact with College and secondary school students, providing them with the opportunity to get young people interested in their industry. Members of the general public are encouraged to attend as well. “The Career and Job Fair offers an important benefit for businesses,”

notes Keith Powell, publisher of Kootenay Business Magazine. “Not only can business owners meet College of the Rockies students but they can also connect with secondary school students who are thinking of the future. It is also a terrific networking opportunity for others who are currently unemployed or underemployed and interested in exploring new options.” Attendees of the Ca-

reer and Job Fair will have the opportunity to enter to win numerous door prizes, including a $300 tuition award for College of the Rockies. Fees paid by participating exhibitors contribute to College of the Rockies’ Career and Job Fair Entrance Awards, available to students entering the College’s Business programs and who have a goal of earning a minimum of a diploma in any major. Entrance award values are up to $1500. Details on award criteria and applications will be available at the Career and Job Fair, in schools and online at cotr.ca/financialaid.

The claim that nobody else would be able to get their hands on this technology is either woefully ignorant or further demonstration of an ineptitude approaching that of a Sherman tank in the upper branches of an elm tree.

Policy reversal

In the Budget recently presented to the BC legislature, Finance Minister de Jong announced that those receiving disability assistance in B.C. will, as of Sept. 1, receive an increase of $77 per month. This was a modest, but welcome, bit of news for the 100,000 people receiving disability assistance which have been frozen at $906 a month since 2007. But before we start congratulating the government for its largesse, it is important for the public to know that the increase will be partially cancelled for about 55,000 people who now receive free monthly transit passes. The government will soon stop paying for those passes, resulting in an additional cost to the disabled of $52.00 per month. To date the government has felt that transportation subsidies were necessary to ensure easy access to public transit systems in our large urban centres, since for most people with disabilities these systems are their only method of mobility. A reversal in this policy of transportation subsidy means that the current increase in disability benefits lauded by the government as generous and long overdue, becomes a mean-spirited claw-back of an essential service and results in a very modest increase in the disability pension of only $25.00 a month.

Medical premiums can backfire

Re: Time to take MSP off life support (B.C. Views, Feb. 24). I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP premiums and it brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ‘80s. As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part because they did not under-

stand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked in particular at differences between provinces that charged premiums and those that did not. The results were surprising. We found that a significant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed that their premiums covered the entire cost of the health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respondents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want.” As is the case today, proponents of premiums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true. The only serious attempt to let people know about medical costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous (and never repeated) experiment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previous year.

Taxpayer trumpet

After reading the news out of City Hall, Kimberley taxpayers really need to play the taxpaying trumpet loud and clear. Our super Civic Centre has gone over a half century with a temporary north wall. That has to be a Canadian record for temporary walls. Now they want to charge families and children for use of our playing fields. Finally our mayor comments on paving Gerry Sorensen Way and how citizens know their taxes and being well spent. All one has to do is take a ten minute drive around city streets and notice the condition of our streets. Example, being the drive from down town to Lois Creek. Yup, it is time to serenade the loca government with the Taxpayer’s trump-et! Michael Jones Kimberley

Take the survey, take the Pulse Readers, tell us what you think and perhaps $1,000 worth of free grocery shopping will be your reward. Yes, readers of Black Press community newspapers across the Kootenays will have a chance to win a grand’s worth of shopping at Save-On Foods, by completing an online survey that will help local businesses better understand local customers. The survey — the product of a partnership between Black Press and Pulse Research, a respected B.C. research company — looks at the shopping plans and priorities of our readers, and their media reading habits. By answering the survey questions, readers will help gauge the current consumer climate to help businesses adapt and craft new ways to

serve clients and customers. Responses will be kept completely confidential, and reader contact information will only be used to enter readers’ names into a prize draw for one of five $1,000 Save-On gift cards to be given away across the Kootenays. The survey is online only — no phone calls — and will take 35 to 40 minutes to complete. “We are excited to bring this survey to the East Kootenay,” says Townsman and Bulletin publisher Karen Johnston. “Our local businesses will benefit from the information and be provided insight on how our readers will be looking to spend their hard earned money in the coming year.” The Pulse Research survey has already been a successful tool for businesses. For one

example, one client took the results of the research to the bank and on the strength of the data was able to secure a loan to expand the business. The benefits of the study include showing potential areas for growth or expansion. Pulse Research was founded in 1985 to provide publishing clients with research-based advertising sales and marketing programs designed to get results. They are able to deliver insight to businesses who are currently faced with an ever-changing mix of products and services, including web, niche, special sections and deals.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Feb. 28 – March 5, 1907

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1907 Absent mayor … James Finlay, mayor of Cranbrook, returned last week from his visit to Spokane, where he went to attend a meeting of the directors of the Sullivan Mining Company. One feature of the meeting that will be of interest to the people of this district, was the appointment of Mayor Finlay as superintendent of the mine, to succeed Robert Anderson. Mr. Finlay was the choice of the Senator Turner and Van Dyke interests. He went to the Sullivan today and will at once assume charge of the mine. There are about thirty-five men working at the mine now, but Mr. Finlay told the Herald that the number would be increased to fifty in a short time. Mayor Finlay also as-

sured the Herald that he had no intention of resigning the office of Mayor of Cranbrook, but that he would be in town, twice a month to attend the meetings of the council. Land notice … I hereby give notice that sixty days after date I intend to apply to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for permission to purchase an island in the Kootenay River, the southern part being opposite the N. W. corner of the Indian Reserve on Bummer’s Flat, thence up the river for about half a mile, containing (10) ten acres, more or less. Geo. Geary. Dated 12th Feb. 1907 Get together … This is going to be a good year for the business men of Cranbrook to take a keen interest in important public meetings. Do not leave it for a few to look after when anything comes up that is of interest to Cranbrook. Every business man can spare an hour once in a while for the benefit of the town. Work together. In union there is a big pull.

Want changes … The women of Victoria want the bars taken down and the Chinamen permitted to come into the province at will. Fortunately for the interests of the laboring men of British Columbia the Liberal government of the Dominion placed the head tax of $500 on the Chinaman and they will keep it there. New sanitarium … Dr. Fagan has been working for five years to stir up the people of this province to the necessity of a sanitarium for tuberculosis, and at last he is doing to realize his dreams. The Dominion government has granted the society 400 acres of land in the Kamloops district and the work of preparing a refuge for the victims of the white plague will begin at once. The people of British Columbia should do all in their power to aid Dr. Fagan in this work, for it will be the means of saving thousands of lives.

Injuries continue to mount as Ice fall short in Regina Black-and-blue Kootenay Ice battle back from three-goal deficit but can’t edge Regina Pats Wednesday

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Battle as they might, the black-and-blue Kootenay Ice simply dug a hole too deep and too early Wednesday night. Falling behind the Regina Pats by a 4-1 margin before the five-minute mark of the second period, the Ice scraped back into the affair but ultimately came up short in a 5-3 loss at the Brandt Centre Wednesday night. “I liked our resolve under tough circumstance,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, over the phone from Regina following Wednesday’s loss. “I thought we played okay, even when we were down. “To go down 4-1, it

would’ve been pretty easy for our group to shut ‘er down with the bodies we were missing. “We stuck with the plan, even early on… Five-on-five, I thought we played well for the large part. The game plan starts to pay off for you in the second [period] and in the third, you’re running on fumes a little bit.” Already without the services of defenceman Troy Murray (neck/ throat) and forwards Roman Dymacek (lower body), Austin Gray (illness) and Dylan Stewart (concussion), the Kootenay bench boss was dealt another blow Tuesday evening as centre Matt Alfaro (undisclosed) was knocked out of action during a 3-0 loss at Medicine Hat.

extended the hosts lead to 4-1 only 4:09 into the second period, it looked as though the visitors might be in for a long night. Called in to help out, the affiliates did exactly that in the second period. Lieffers registered his first-career WHL goal only 28 seconds after Zablocki had made it 4-1. The 6-foot-1 native of Saskatoon used his long reach to wrap the puck around from behind the net of Pats goaltender Tyler Brown and after taking a couple fortuitous bounces, the biscuit trickled across the goal line to make it 4-2. There was some deliberation on the play and debate as to who got the final touch, but as of print deadline, the goal belonged to Lieffers. Kootenay Ice real good “Eli looked

right from the get-go,” Pierce said. “With this being his second time up with us, the nerves were not quite as bad. He was effective.” Midway through the second period, Morison scored his first-career WHL goal to duplicate the effort by Lieffers. Driving the net, the 6-foot-3 native of Calgary redirected a Cale Fleury point shot to pull the visitors within one goal heading into the final 20 minutes of play. “[Morison’s] presence was much more noticeable [Wednesday than Tuesday],” Pierce said. “Both pretty simple goals, but very effective. We’re going to need those guys for the rest of this trip obviously with the numbers we’re missing.” Unfortunately for the Ice, that’s as close as they

As for Alfaro and Wellsby, Pierce does not expect either to return to the lineup before the conclusion of his team’s four-game road trip, which still has stops in Prince Albert (Friday) and Saskatoon (Saturday). Facing a depleted Ice lineup Wednesday, Austin Wagner scored shorthanded and Cole Sanford used the man advantage to tally his first of three on the night and give the hosts a 2-0 lead before the midpoint of the first period. Ice veteran Zak Zborosky, a native of Regina, scored on home ice to pull his club back within one before Sanford made it 3-1 heading into the first intermission. After Lane Zablocki

Playing the second game in two nights and to make matters worse, sophomore winger Austin Wellsby (undisclosed) was lost in the first period of play Wednesday at Regina, leaving Pierce with only 10 healthy forwards at his disposal, two of which were affiliates Eli Lieffers and Reed Morison. “It’s deja vu a little bit, kind of like what we dealt with in September,” Pierce said of the mounting injury situation. “I think we’re more mature at handling it now than we were then. We’ll try to survive it here for the rest of the trip.” Morison was recalled in advance of the road trip and made his Ice debut Tuesday, while Lieffers joined the club

got Wednesday night as the Pats closed things out in the third period. Sanford completed his hat-trick performance by depositing one last puck into the empty net with only 41 seconds remaining in regulation. Wyatt Hoflin made 41 saves in a losing cause, while Brown turned aside 29 pucks to collect his 19th victory of the season. The win further solidified a wildcard position for the Pats (31-263-4), who now sit eight points ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings (2730-6-1) for the top wildcard in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. The Ice fall to 10-486-0 on the season with the defeat. After taking Thursday off, the team heads to Prince Albert to face the Raiders (3421-7-1) Friday night.

Dynamiters honour best & brightest at annual awards banquet Taylor Rocc a

Eric Buckley was a big winner at the 2016 Kimberley Dynamiters Awards Banquet as the local KIJHL club honoured its best and brightest stars Feb. 21 at the Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre. Buckley, a 20-yearold native of Penticton, received three awards, including being recognized as the team’s leading scorer after putting forth 24 goals and 70 points in his final year of junior hockey. Goaltender Tyson Brouwer was named the team’s Most Valuable Player after going 31-6-0 with a 1.96 goals-against average, .929 save percentage and eight shutouts. Buckley, the 5-foot-9, 165-pound forward who is bound for the University of Jamestown this coming fall, was voted Most Popular Player, as chosen by Kimberley

Dynamiters fans. Finally, the Century Award was bestowed on Buckley, alongside teammates Keenan Haase, Jordan Busch, Jason Richter and Jared Marchi. The Century Award was previously presented to players reaching the 100-point plateau in a season, but with the KIJHL playing a 52game schedule, the days of 100-point campaigns are long gone.

Cranbrook ski-cross racer competes at Youth Olympic Games For The Townsman

Cranbrook’s Zoe Chore was one of 1,100 young athletes to compete in the 2016 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Lillehammer, Norway, this past February. The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are sporting events for youth, aged 15 to 18, where sport meets culture and education including learning about Olympic values. Athletes from 70 nations competed in the Games, including 54 from Canada. It the first time young athletes appear on the world stage. Thousands of spectators came to see the up-andcoming athletes. The press, including the YOG youth reporters, covered all events. When athletes were not competing, they attended workshops focusing on Olympianism, skill development, well-being, social lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle among other topics. By collaborating with each other in the work-

shops they also learned about cross-border cultures, languages and sport disciplines. “I met so many new friends I know I will see again,” Chore said. “I felt so proud to be from Canada and from the Kootenays. Most of the people didn’t know where that was but I think they will all know about skiing in Kimberley now.” The specially-designed course was set up on natural terrain with artificial features including turns, roller sections, jumps and banked turns. After the gates dropped, four competitors raced through gates and features. Racers must not only master terrain and features but be confident racing shoulder to shoulder with other racers fighting for the same line. The ski cross event consists of qualification and finals (group heats, semifinals, the small final and the big final). In the qualification phase, competitors take a timed run, and the top

16 ranked competitors go through to the finals. At this event they raced in a round robin format compared to the traditional elimination format. Competitors are divided into group heats of four competitors. All competitors eventually compete against each other and based upon the ranking of each heat are awarded points. After the group heats, the top eight ranked competitors advance to the semifinals. The top two ranked competitors from each semifinal advance to the big final, while the remaining competitors move to the small final. The Team Ski-Snowboard Cross (two women, two men, two skiers, two boarders) consists of finals only. The quarter-finals, semi-finals, big final and small final are divided into heats of up to four teams. The top two teams from each race advance to the next phase. Chore, who hasn’t

She was third in the Ladies’

Ski Cross timed trials and first in four out of the five group heats. In the semifinals two girls drafting passed her, which dropped Chore

from the semifinals. Chore finished second in the small final, ranking her sixth for the event. In the team event, Chore’s team — featur-

ing one Spanish racer and three Canadians — placed fourth.

The City of Cranbrook does its best to maintain the sewer systems, but has little control over what foreign objects may be deposited in them causing blockage. The City will not accept any claim for back up of sewers. Claims of an accidental or unforeseen nature should be processed through your Homeowner’s insurance.

NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR 2015 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Sustainable Community Builder Award. The recipient will be provided $500 to be donated to their charity of choice, thanks to a partnership with the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF). The money for the grant comes from the legacy fund left to the CDCF by the Knights of Pythias, Crescent Lodge #33 of Cranbrook. The Sustainable Community Builder Award is presented to an individual, group, club, agency or society in recognition of outstanding contributions to the social, arts, cultural, economic or environmental sustainability of the City of Cranbrook. Application forms and eligibility criteria are available at City Hall, on the City’s website www.cranbrook.ca or www.cranbrookcf.ca. The deadline for nominations is Friday March 18, 2016.

PERSONAL FLUSHABLE WIPES – A SEWER SYSTEM NO-NO. They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs. Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled flushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator. Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. People expect to flush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants. If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t flush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.

Canada unveils 16 players for World Cup of Hockey roster C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby headlines the first 16 players Canada unveiled for its World Cup of Hockey roster.

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was also named among the Canadian forwards. Joining Crosby and Toews up front are Jamie Benn (Dallas), Patrice Bergeron (Boston), Jeff Carter (Los Angeles),

Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim), Tyler Seguin (Dallas), Steven Stamkos (Tampa Bay) and John Tavares (New York Islanders). Nashville Predators star Shea Weber and Drew Doughty of the

Los Angeles Kings anchor the defence corps that also includes Duncan Keith (Chicago) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (San Jose). All four defencemen played at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, where Cana-

da won its second consecutive gold medal. Injured Montreal star Carey Price was among three goalies named to the squad, joining Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals and Chicago’s Corey Crawford.

North American U-23 squad names 16 for World Cup of Hockey TORONTO - Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel headlined the first group of players named to the North American entry at the upcoming World Cup. Restricted to those 23 or younger - born on or

after Oct. 1, 1992 - the roster also includes Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon, Florida Panthers defender Aaron Ekblad as well as Calgary Flames duo Johhny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. MacKinnon and Ekblad were the last two winners of the Calder

Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie. Seven Canadians made the initial group, joined by nine players from the United States. A fellow Calder Trophy challenger to McDavid and Eichel this season, Detroit Red Wings rookie Dylan Larkin also made the North

American roster as did the Flyers Sean Couturier, J.T. Miller of the Rangers and Brandon Saad from Columbus. Saad will be joined by teammates Seth Jones and Ryan Murray. Morgan Rielly, the Maple Leafs 21-year-old defenceman, was also named to the roster.

The squad’s goalie stable will be full of Americans with Ducks goaltender John Gibson standing as the likely No. 1, complemented by Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck and Penguins prospect Matt Murray. Edmonton’s Todd McLellan will coach the team.

“I wanted to win and knew I could but it wasn’t my day,” Chore said. “It has been hard to look back but each time I do it pushes me harder. I like being on the podium. It takes hard work, focus and dedication and that’s where I want to go.” Lillehammer 2016 YOG was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Chore and a totally new level of competition for her. “When I first got to the hill, it was a bit intimidating,” Chore said. “I have never seen or raced against this group of girls before. It was hard to judge where I lie in the field. Most of the other girls, despite where they come from, train in Europe all winter. I realized how much I value coming from Cranbrook where I have been able to be involved in other sports like soccer, rowing and track and where my home hill, Kimberley, is always welcoming.” Chore wished to thank the 3,000 volunteers, the people of Lillehammer, her Canadian support crew from Alpine Canada, fellow team mates, her coaches (past and present), and all the people who have supported her back home.

Key City Air Cadets honour individuals C APT. LORI-LEE BOT T

da. He also received two “bars & rosette’s”, for the 5th & 6th year of service. It is always sad to say good-bye, but we are proud of Dylan and his personal accomplishments! We wish him well in his future endeavors. Major Gregr, Reviewing Officer for the evening, was also attending his final parade. He too has reached the ‘golden age’ and has to retire. Major Gregr, has a long history with the military and cadet services. He has been assisting and guiding our squadron over the last few years. This night was also filled with presentations of Fitness Badges and a few promotions. FSgt Bue earned her Service Medal and WO2 Palmer earned her first Bar & Rosette. Keith Kepke,

On February 16, we honoured two people at 552 Key City Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron. WO2 Dylan von Wittgenstein joined our cadet squadron in the spring of 2009, shortly after we earned our Charter, and he has just “aged out” of the squadron. “Aged Out” is a term we use for cadets that stay in the program until just before they reach their 19th birthday, at that time – they can no longer be a cadet. This young man was fortunate to attend training courses every summer, this past year he attended as a Staff Cadet. After four years of cadet service, he earned the Long Service Medal from the Air Cadet League of Cana-

Get out and walk

For nice days, getting outside can be a great adventure. Take a nature walk through your neighborhood and have the kids make note of all the animals and animal prints they see. Or see how many different trees you can find.

Do a fantasy redecorating

Are your kids bored of their rooms? Pick up a sheet of poster board for each kid and hand them catalogs and magazines to leaf through. Have them create a storyboard of what their ideal bedroom would look like with photos. Who knows? You might even like what they come up with.

Volunteer

Soup kitchens, nursing homes and other organizations are always looking for help. See if they might need a few good kids to help out over spring break. The experience will be good for your kids -- and help the community too.

Hit the library

All year long, kids have to read school-assigned books. Over spring break, let them read whatever they want. Take them to the library and let them choose a book or books to entertain them while they are off from school.

Check the rec center

Some towns have special spring break camps for kids. See if yours does and consider signing your kids up. Who knows, they might be able to spend the week improving their soccer skills.

Rejoicing at finding what was lost ANASTASIA BARTLET T

hen my boys were young, the popular gift to give was a Lego set. This was in the days when legos were growing beyond just bricks and were including all sorts of extra bits; people with heads and hands that could pull off, swords and guns and stuff. When helping the boys clean up, I would gather the bits attempting to keep all parts together which resulted in turning the playroom

upside down until I found that tiny sword. I was obsessive about finding the missing part and was extremely satisfied when I achieved success. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of consorting with sinners, He told several similar stories in Luke 15. There was the story of the woman who searched her house seeking for one lost coin out of ten and the shepherd who left the 99 sheep to find the one lost sheep. Both

of them had a party when they found what was lost. Now I didn’t throw a party when I found the lego sword, but I can definitely relate. Apparently, so can God. Jesus said there would be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous who do not need to repent. My first response is to think ‘that’s not fair, shouldn’t there be constant rejoicing over the 99 who don’t need to

repent?’ But then I realized, I had already found all the other lego bits, they were safe and sound, all my effort was spent searching for the tiny sword. It’s a good thing, I am not God. Jesus told a third story along the same lines. This one is about two brothers; the diligent, hard-working elder brother and the scofflaw, shirking younger brother who only wanted some fun in life. The younger brother talks his father

into giving him his inheritance early, not so he can invest it in some business venture, but so he can spend it immediately and have a good time while he was still young. As the story goes, he left the farm, blew through the money in no time and ended up on the streets sharing scraps with the animals. He’d been brought to the place of repentance. He had no place to go. He knew his father’s servants were treated well, so figured if he apolo-

CONGRATULATIONS!

gized his father would at least hire him as a worker. But his father hadn’t written him off and had every day anxiously watched the road for any sign of his youngest son’s return. One day he was rewarded and was so thankful his son had returned alive and reasonably well, he threw a party for everyone in the neighbourhood to celebrate his joy. When the eldest returned from work that night and found out what was going on, he felt no joy, only resentment. He considered the celebration to be a slap in his face thinking his father loved his younger brother more than him. He questioned, ‘How come you’ve never had a party for me, and I’ve been obeying you all these years. How come you are rewarding him for losing all your money and causing you terrible pain? I’ve never done those things and you’ve never treated me special’. The eldest son didn’t realize the place he had in his father’s heart and in his house. He shared

in his father’s wealth and inheritance, he was equal to his father in status and respectability. I heard this story as a child and as someone who lived in a forgiving home, I could relate to the younger son to a certain extent; not to the depth of his flagrancy, but I never gave much thought to the elder brother. Now I do ... because he is me. For now, I am safely in the sheep pen, in the widow’s purse, in the Lego bucket. God is searching for the lost ones and needs me to help. I pray to refrain from judging others and considering myself to be less of a sinner than they. I pray I will welcome my brothers and sisters home with love and joy and celebration as they re-enter the family of God. With repentance and with God’s help, I can.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Continued from page 7 Not an ouch! … A peculiar accident occurred near Jaffray on Monday. A passenger train rounding a curve ran down a man and tossed him into a snowbank. The train was brought to a halt as quickly as possible and the train crew went back to pick up the remains, when they found their supposed victim busy gathering up his parcels and entirely unhurt. To the great beyond … The ministering “Angel of Death,” which holds the key to the great unknown, visited the home of the late Mr. Frank Anderson early Saturday morning last, when the last spark of a manly man was carried from this earth to the great unknown world beyond. Caught in the act … Last Sunday a Chinese laundryman thought that he would celebrate the departure of his New Year’s by a burst of enthusiasm, and about six o ’clock he turned loose about fifty bunches of fire crackers. The next afternoon he was hauled In front of the magistrate and paid a fine of $5 and costs. In the future he will observe the laws and the customs of the land in which he lives. A white man would be pulled mighty quick for such a violation of the law, and there is no reason that a Chinaman should be exempt. New ambulance … The new ambulance for the St. Eugene hospital arrived this week and will be placed in commission as soon as possible. This will prove a great boon for suffering humanity, and the people of this section of the country owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. King, who was the originator of the idea, and to the liberal hearted contributors who came forward so willingly with the money to pay for the

same. At this juncture it might be well to say that in the list that has been published in the Herald there was a generous contribution from the people of Creston, who realized the benefits to be derived from such an addition to the hospital equipment and a large sum was raised in that town for this purpose. I quit … James Kennedy, city teamster, has handed in his resignation to the city clerk. Mr. Kennedy thinks that $63 a month is poor pay for the work in a country like this. It is hard to get a good man for such a position and the council would make no mistake in paying a salary that would insure competent service. Price increase … All of the hotels have raised the price of board on account of the increase in the price of supplies. Five dollar meal tickets have been raised to $6 and $6 meal tickets have been raised to $7. The hotel keepers have held off on this matter for months in hopes that it would not be necessary, but the game was a losing one, and the increase had to be made as a matter of self-protection. At the Wilga … Mrs. Elizabeth Byrnes, of New York, has taken over the Wilga and already is making a great improvement in the house. Mrs. Byrnes has had the place renovated from cellar to garret, installed new furniture and is paying special attention to the table. So successful have been her efforts that already there has arisen a great demand for rooms and board, as there are many people who are looking for just such a place to live. Mrs. Byrnes believes in looking after the comforts of her guests and as a result those who are fortunate enough to secure quar-

Protesters call for more disability support Tom Fletcher Black Press

Protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature Wednesday to call for an additional increase in provincial disability assistance payments, which are due to go up this year for the first time since 2007. The increase of $77 a month is to take effect Sept. 1, for disability assistance that now pays $906 a month for a single person. But the program is to begin deducting $52 a month for transit passes available to people who are able to use them, and that

has sparked protests. Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell faced an angry opposition in the legislature after the rally, and again refused to reverse the decision to charge for bus passes. Stilwell said 45,000 people on disability assistance could not use a bus pass, and the change makes the rate fair for everyone. Faith Bodnar, executive director of the advocacy organization Inclusion BC, told the rally her online petition opposing the change grew

quickly to 100,000 people. She argued that bus pass or not, disability assistance rates remain too low. “Government, all you did was equalize the poverty for people with disabilities in B.C.” Bodnar said. Stilwell said the rate increase will cost $170 million over the next three years, and adding the bus pass funding to that would cost another $20 million. She and Finance Minister Mike de Jong have insisted they will not retain a system that helps some people

World Day of Prayer will be held in solidarity with women of Cuba Submit ted

On March 4, 2016, Christians in more than 170 countries and in 2,000 communities across Canada will gather to learn about, pray for, and celebrate Cuba in solidarity with the women of Cuba through the World Day of Prayer. Please join us and invite your friends and family to attend the World Day of Prayer 2016. National Flower of Cuba is the white butterfly jasmine. Cuban women have used the flower not only as an adornment for their

hair, but also to transmit messages during liberation wars, and as a sign of their being Cuban. There can be no better emblem for the 2016 World Day of Prayer service written by the World Day of Prayer committee of Cuba. The service transmits their witness and experience of being Cuban and Christian, even when their faith meant isolation within the country they love. With the triumph of the Revolution, a trade embargo by the United States brought Cuba

economic isolation and material scarcity. Within Cuba a similar isolation formed around people of faith in the officially atheist state. Now the embargo is lifting, but uncertainty remains for the Cuban people. What can these women tell the rest of the world about how faith endures in a secular world, of material and social challenges, and of hope? A local World Day of Prayer service will be held at: Mt Zion Lutheran Church, 920 – 11th St S, Cranbrook, Friday, March 4, at 1:30 pm

more than others. De Jong said the government is aware of some people taking the free bus passes available to disabled people and selling them on the street for whatever cash they can get. Those people will have the option

of taking the entire $77 a month increase instead. A single employable person without a disability receives $610 a month in income assistance, and that amount is not increased in the B.C. budget presented in February.

Low Dose Naltrexone for Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis and Autoimmune Conditions

With

MLA,

By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Naltrexone is a drug that is typically used at high doses to counteract the effects of an overdose of opiates as it binds to the opioid receptors, however at low doses it can be used to influence these same receptors to get the body to increase the production of betaendorphins and met-enkephalins. These endorphins and metenkephalins reduce inflammation and pain and have the ability to modulate the immune system in autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome as well as cancer. Considering that 70-80% of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract and that Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) both typically have autoimmune involvement, low dose naltrexone (LDN) has been shown to be clinically useful in the reduction of symptoms and progression of both conditions. A small study done on Crohn’s and LDN in 2011 showed symptomatic improvement in 88% of patients using LDN versus placebo and 78% of those using LDN showed significant healing of the intestinal lining on endoscopic examination. LDN is usually well tolerated, but the side effects that may occur include vivid dreams and stomach upset, both of which commonly resolve within one week of taking the LDN. If the dreams continue and it is causing a disturbance in sleep then LDN can be taken in the morning instead. LDN does interact with opiate pain killers as it reduces their effects and should not be taken together. Otherwise, LDN has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of Crohn’s, UC and other conditions involving immune dysfunction. For more information on LDN and its uses please contact us at any time.

Registrations will be accepted at all of the above schools on the following dates: Monday to Friday, March 7th to 11th, 2016. For further information please call the school.

Bill Bennett The 2016 provincial budget provides an increase of $170 million over three years for the 100,000 British Columbians who live with disabilities. All British Columbians on PWD will receive the equivalent of $77/month more.

Those who were previously receiving a free transit pass, now can choose whether to buy that pass for $52 with their $77, depending on their location and monthly needs. All those people receiving a bus pass before the change paid a $45 annual administration fee and that annual fee will continue to be collected.

These changes were made (1) to increase beneﬁts to people on PWD and (2) because 45,000 British Columbians were not receiving any subsidy for transportation. All British Columbians on PWD will receive more than before, regardless of transportation passes.

Please note that registering at a particular school does not guarantee attendance at that school.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take charge of a situation. Your intuition will lead you down the right path. You might not have been aware of how much others expect from you until today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your sense of direction emerges in a conversation with a friend. You might not notice the tension that has evolved between you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A partner becomes far more in touch with the changes needed to have a key situation work out. A new friend might be more than willing to help you achieve a long-term goal. You could be more sensitive to a higher-up than you realize. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you trust; this person often gives you strong feedback. A partner could be challenging, as he or she feels his or her advice is even better. There could be quite a rebellion if you are not careful. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more in touch with your desires. A partner seems to be receptive to your wishes. Let this person express his or her ideas. Help a loved one realize what he or she wants, too.

Your efforts toward a personal change need to be supported by a family member. You could be wondering what would be best for the whole as well as for you. A discussion with loved ones will open up feelings and allow more give-and-take. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Rest assured that you will need to reach out to others in order to get a situation moving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be uncomfortable with what is being offered or required financially. You likely had a different figure in your mind. You can bypass a problem as long as you remain creative and open-minded. Others will put in their two cents as well. Tonight: You have the ultimate say. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your imagination when sharing with others. Your per-

sonality will melt a restriction or a coldness from someone in your day-to-day environment. Understand that this is a defense tactic. Confusion weaves through some interactions. Tonight: Others respond to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep your own counsel. You might not be sure about what you want or what you need from someone. Until you are clear on this, don’t share what is on your mind. You could add an element of deception or uncertainty by speaking too quickly. Tonight: Follow your instincts. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination adds a wonderful element to your interactions. Be aware of what you want when conversations start going to other topics. Lasso in a wandering conversation quickly. A group of friends could be planning a fun get-together. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: I am a very loving mother of two adult daughters. “Jane” has a child with her ex and another with her current husband. “Cindy” is married with one child and one on the way. At first, things with Jane were great. We helped them furnish their house with all new appliances, and also helped financially when they asked. Three years ago, we had a falling out and now Jane doesn’t call, text, email, nothing. When we see each other in public, she is civil, but otherwise, treats me as if as if I were dead. We are not allowed to see our grandchildren, although our ex-son-inlaw allows us to see the one grandchild when he has visitation. Cindy, who also receives financial help when she asks, lets me see my grandchild only once a month for four hours. She sometimes allows me to Skype, but no more than once a week, if I’m lucky. When she had a miscarriage a few years ago, I tried my very best to console her, but she wouldn’t let me near her for two weeks. Others were allowed to be there, but not her own mother. She won’t let me talk to her about her current pregnancy. I want to be a part of their lives, but we can’t get past this silence. I have offered to pay for counseling, but they refuse. I have asked, begged and pleaded for one-on-one time, to no avail. What hurts the most is that I don’t even know why they are angry with me. Any advice would be so gratefully appreciated. -- A Loving, Crushed Mother Dear Mother: Your daughters may not be angry. They may be trying to create some space between your life and theirs, and don’t know how to do it in a more loving fashion. Or their husbands may have objected to your presence. And if your daughters are close, they may be feeding on each other’s grievances. It will do you no good to keep pounding at this. Back off. You also can stop loaning them money if you choose. You don’t owe it to them and it obviously doesn’t influence their level of affection. Enjoy the time you do get to spend with the grandchildren, and fill your hours with other activities that bring you pleasure. Counseling for yourself may help you accept this, and we hope your daughters will come to appreciate you again soon. Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters from parents and grandparents complaining that they never receive a thank-you note. My mother-in-law was also disappointed that one of her grandsons never acknowledged the checks she sent for birthdays and Christmas. To change the situation, she sent a card mentioning the enclosed check, but she didn’t actually enclose it. The grandson promptly called to thank her, and also to say that she’d apparently forgotten to put the check in the envelope. -- J. Dear J.: Your mother-in-law sounds like a very clever woman.

She loved to travel, play bridge, golf, swim, knit, crochet, read and generously kept us supplied with her baked goodies. She was an active volunteer in many organizations and always enjoyed time with her many special friends. Her favourite times were at family gatherings where she took particular interest in her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will all remember her with joy, the way she would want us to. Mary is survived by her daughters Isobel (Phil) Van Den Berg, Vicki (Leon) Bjerstedt, Nancy (Peter) Kleindienst, grandchildren Kathryn (Chris) Huston, Brian Sveinson, Shannon (Frank) Toebaert, Erik (Tara) Bjerstedt, Jon (Keri) Bjerstedt, Evan (Michelle) Kleindienst, Niki (Dallas) Walkey, her beloved great grandchildren Kyra, Noah; Madison, Aleesa; Mark, Katie; Kyle, Nicholas; Isaac, Wyatt; Hanna, Ryan; and Charlotte. Mary was predeceased by her husband Archie (1993), parents Eberardo (Tranquilla) Montegani, brother Anthony Montegani and in-laws James (Agnes) Reekie. A funeral mass to celebrate Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Monday, March 7, 2016 at Christ The Servant Catholic Church in Cranbrook at 11:00 am at 1100 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 14th Avenue South.

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Air Cadets from the Kootenays participated in the local Air Cadet Effective Speaking competition in Castlegar, Feb. 27. There were cadets from Castlegar, Grand Forks and Cranbrook. Judges were Castlegar Deputy Fire Chief Sam Lattanzio, Deb Chmara and Sandra Hartman. The winner of each of the Provincial Championships will compete in the National Championship. This year, the National Effective Speaking completion will be in Richmond in

June. The winners from each province and territory will be flown to the competition by WestJet. This is one of the many activities that the local cadets participate in. During their Train-

ing Year the cadets also go flying in Air Cadet League owned Gliders, Flying in Powered aircraft, learn first aid, go shooting with air rifles, learn outdoor survival skills and other activi-

ties. The cadets meet one evening per week from September to June and during the summer months they have the opportunity to attend courses up to six weeks

long at various locations throughout Canada. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets, in partnership with the Air Cadet League of Canada and the Department of National Defence has been training youth in Canada for over 70 years. The Cadets are the largest government funded youth program in Canada with over 50,000 participants across Canada. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets accepts youth between the ages of 12-18 who have a desire to learn more about the air element of the Canadian Forces, wish to develop the attributes of leadership and good citizenship and who wish to promote physical fitness. While the program is military based, there is no obligation for a cadet to join the Canadian Armed Forces when he or she finishes their cadet career. Cadets are also encouraged to learn more about opportunities within Canada’s Aviation Industry.
