Daylight Savings Time: In like a Lion

COURTESY ELLEN BAILEY

On Saturday March 5, voice and piano students of member teachers of the East Kootenay Music Teachers’ Association presented “Fur, Feathers and Friends,” an entertaining recital of animal songs. Students brought donations of pet food and money for the SPCA which were received by SPCA Manager Brenna Baker, on the left of the middle row above. Thanks to all for their contributions!

Cranbrook dentist team returns from Guatemala TRE VOR CR AWLEY

local team of oral health professionals endured 12-hour days in Guatemalan heat and improvised on their feet to see patients who don’t have the luxury of getting regular dental checkups. Dr. Dave Burwash, along with eight other local volunteers from his dental clinic and the Cranbrook/Kimberley area, recently returned from a two-week trip to the South

American country, where they saw just over 500 patients in a couple different rural communities. It was a stark juxtaposition of the gap between health care delivery services in First and Third World countries. Making a dental appointment and getting a cleaning is considered routine in Canada, but in rural Guatemala, that isn’t the case. From bringing their own equipment to improvising patient workstations, the group

carried out 800-1,000 tooth extractions and 100 dental cleanings spaced throughout a week of stops in different communities. Every morning began with a chant and group hug before getting busy with patients who, in some cases, walked for a day to get dental work done. A mid-morning dance-off helped ease tensions, while evening beefs and bouquet—a group talk on what was good and what was bad about the

day—helped with group dialogue. Flying out of Calgary, the team flew into Guatemala City—the national capital— and drove for four hours up to Chisec, their first community of 5,000. The crew included the nine local volunteers and five translators who had to juggle translating English to Spanish and Spanish to Q’eqchi’—a local Mayan language.

or those of you who like to stay up late to witness the clock springing forward, this weekend is for you. That’s right — as of 2 a.m., Sunday, March 13, Daylight Savings Time begins and the days will seem to last forever (so remember to turn your clocks ahead). That’s what we like in the East Kootenay. That’s what we’ve always liked — since 1952, anyway, when 53.6 per cent of British Columbians voted in favour of adopting Daylight Savings Time (Creston, our time-standing-still neighbour to the west, ignored the results of this plebescite). By the way, Canada’s six time zones, and the East Kootenay’s placement in the Mountain Zone, are based on proposals by Scottish Canadian railway engineer Sir Sandford Fleming, who helped pioneer the world’s time zone system. British Columbia’s clocks first sprang forward on April 14, 1918, with the national Daylight Savings Time Act. The act was allowed to lapse after World War I, re-legislated for World War II, then left up to the provinces after the war — hence the Plebescite of ‘52, ignored by Creston.

Cranbrook council accepts poetry challenge Tre vor Cr awley

Councillor Norma Blissett is throwing down the gauntlet in response to a challenge from Calgary’s Mayor to recognize World Poetry Day on March 21st. The challenge, is-

sued from Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi, includes inviting a local poet to read a literary work at the start of a council meeting in March or April. Raised at a council meeting in late Febru-

Woman’s poems was the first thing that came to Blissett’s mind after the challenge was issued, as she had previously been to a Cranbrook and District Arts Council function where one of his pieces were featured. “I was so impressed and then when we got the correspondence from Mayor Nenshi, challenging us to the poetry challenge, I thought ‘Well, here it is.,’” Blissett said. “We’ve got a world class poet in our midst and I think it’s important to celebrate it. “ManWoman was certainly celebrated for his other forms of art, but I don’t think that everybody is aware of what a talent he had in writing poetry. It really gave us a forum to bring that forward here in council.” ManWoman passed away in 2012, but left his legacy of artistic expression through his work, which has an international reputation.

ary, city staff have arranged for Astarte Sellars to appear as a delegation to the March 21 council meeting to read a poem written by ManWoman, her late husband. Hearing one of Man-

Dental trip an emotional adventure Continued from page 1

Photo courtesy Dr. Dave Burwash

A group of volunteers organized out of Baker Hill Dental in Cranbrook recently travelled to Guatemala to donate dental health services in rural communities. “Coming from Canada to that was kind of extreme. Some of the girls who, this was their first trip, had definite issues with just the overwhelming emotions. “You have lineups around the building and down the street of people wanting to

come see us.” Oral health in places like rural Guatemala can be a challenge, especially when there is a lack of clean drinking water and basic equipment like toothbrushes and toothpaste. Problems that are a rela-

tively easy fix in Canada, such as root canals, crowns and fillings, mostly ended up as tooth extractions for the Guatemalan patients. However, the toughest challenge was working with children and trying to calm their fears of getting work

shower curtains across and taped black garbage bags on the side for people to spit into,” said Dr. Burwash. “That was how the hygienists did their scaling and cleaning, that’s how we did restorative work and that’s how we did extractions.

For their first day of receiving patients, the team set up in a local clinic that was built and funded by a local women’s co-operative that was greeted with much fanfare by the local mayor and radio media. “It became sort of a carnival-like atmosphere,” Dr. Burwash said. “Local ice cream sellers came and sold ice cream, the women’s co-operative set up tubs with Gatorade and bottled water to sell to raise money and the women’s cooperative fed us. “Their hospitality was unbelievable, they’re very proud of the food that they served us, it was all traditional, hand-cooked meals.” The team worked from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m., seeing patients with all different kinds of oral health issues in close quarters and unrelenting heat, which added to an already high-stress situations. “For those couple of days, the temperature was in the mid- to high-30s, humidity was close to 100 per cent, we were working in non-air conditioned rooms, we didn’t have dental chairs, we had tables that we put

done on their teeth. “We had little one- and two-year-olds coming in with teeth that were so badly broken down, with pus oozing out, their parents begging us to take the teeth out and these kids are terrified,” Dr. Burwash said. “We had no sedation, we couldn’t get freezing for these kids, because they’re thrashing about, they don’t want us to look at them, and their parents are begging us to do something. “…You have to get the parent to hold the child still. When the child opens his or her mouth, you take the forceps, grab ahold of what’s left of the tooth—and that means nothing above the gum line—and you just give a quick pull and a twist, and you get it out of there.” However, once the tooth was removed, Dr. Burwash said the children would be playing outside 10 minutes later showing off the prizes they got from the dental staff. Another challenge was dealing with sterilizing the equipment in a manner that could keep up with demand.

were warmly welcomed by the locals and served homemade meals from residents who invited the team right into their homes. From Arbor Rubel Ho it was off to Santa Marta, where they worked in a school compound out of buildings that Dr. Burwash likened to 1800s frontier schools—a oneroom classroom with the teacher at the front. Again, they were welcomed with open arms by the local community with home-cooked meals along with Mayan hot chocolate, which was locally grown, roasted, and ground cacao with added spices. Sherri Nelson, the head CDA (Certified Dental Assistant) of the team who works alongside Dr. Burwash in Cranbrook, said it’s always an eye opening experience, even though she’s been to Peru twice for the same reason.

“When you’re only three years old and you haven’t had teeth very long and they’re already rotten, that kind of seems to be what stands out more on this trip.” Sherri Nelson “I think this one, we saw more kids, a lot more little kids, the really young ones. I remember seeing the younger ones, but this one, there was more bad teeth and lots of decay on the real, real young ones,” Nelson said. “When you’re only three years old and you haven’t had teeth very long and they’re already rotten, that kind of seems to be what stands out more on this trip.”

The group traveled under the auspices of Kindness in Action, an Alberta-based charitable organization that works alongside grassroots organizations to provide oral health services in countries around the world. The full group from Cranbrook included: Tierra Rodgers, Emily East, Caitlin Anselmo, Sherri Nelson, Sue Crawford, Alex Crawford, Dr. Kevin Shen, Yo-Wen Lo and Dr. David Burwash. The team also wishes to recognize Kyla Brass for her fundraising contributions. • The team brought back spices that they bought from the women’s cooperative in Chisec and are selling them in Cranbrook to raise money for their next trip.

Provincial Champions

Kimberley youth top of the curling world C A R O LYN G R A NT

It’s back to school again for the Provincial High School curling champions Alysha Buchy, Kaila Buchy, Haylie Farquhar and Arissa Toffolo. The girls won the provincial championship last weekend and Alysha and Haylie dropped by the Kimberley Daily Bulletin office to talk about it on Tuesday. It was an exciting win, Alysha says. “This is our first big win, our first provincial. We’ve won zones of course but nothing this big. It felt amazing. My sister cried.” That last was said with sisterly affection and a bit of teasing. “I screamed and jumped up and down and then realized there were still people playing. Oops,” said Haylie. The High School Provincials don’t have playoffs, you just have to win the round robin, which team Buchy did. They beat all but one team, putting together a 6-1 record. The team had come close last year, placing second and came into this year with confidence. “We didn’t expect to win, but we thought we had a chance,” Alysha said. “It was pretty cool to win. There were some pretty good teams there.” “Our coaches always say, don’t think of the outcome, just think of the game,” Haylie said. “You could be up six and still lose by two. Stay with it.”

The girls have to listen to their coaches because in addition to coaching, they are their fathers. Tom Buchy, Dave Toffolo and Grant Farquhar all have a hand in coaching the team, although this past weekend, Farquhar was on his own as Buchy and Toffolo were playing in the Provincial Mixed playdowns. And the dads try to be just coaches on the ice, Alysha said. “It’s usually pretty good, he’s just a coach. But I do have to get him lunch because he’s my dad.” “When your dad is the only coach, there is some personal pressure,” Halie admits. “I think if I miss a shot my coach will be mad and my dad will be mad. But it’s positive too. I curl with my dad and he expects certain things but he knows my quirks too.” As for the dads, they are both proud of the team. “They played extremely well,” Farquhar said. “It’s fantastic,” said Buchy. “They’ve worked so hard. It’s very rewarding for them to come out on top.” As Alysha graduates this year, there will not be an opportunity to defend their title, however Alysha is sticking around and will attend the College of the Rockies. This means the team can stay together and shoot for the BC Juniors next year.

Nomination deadline looms for 2015 Sustainable Community Builder Award For the Townsman

The window is closing for nominations to be accepted for the 2015 Sustainable Community Builder Award. The deadline is next Friday March 18, 2016. To date no applications have been received by City administration for the 2015 award. 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. 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. Application forms and eligibility criteria are available at City Hall, on the City’s website www.cranbrook.ca or www.cranbrookcf.ca. Past winners include Gord Johnston in 2014, the Sam Steele Days Society in 2013, Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary for 2012, the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market Society for 2010 and Debbie Sinclair of Big Brothers, Big Sisters for 2009.

In the democratic year of ‘72, another poll was held for the folks of the East Kootenay (including Creston) and the Peace district, asking folks if they wanted to switch the Pacific Time Zone. In Kootenay East the No’s took it 2,842 to 1,779 (the vote in Creston was a tie. Leo Nimsick was also returned as the NDP MLA in the concurrent provincial election). In 2007, B.C. switched the time change to the second Sunday in March, to keep aligned with changes in the U.S. It’s estimated B.C. has saved pennies a day in power usage with this move. And in 2014, Ron Toyota, Mayor of Creston, blue-skied the idea of another time referendum to get Creston in line with everybody else. The idea didn’t really get off the ground; everyone knew it was doomed to failure. So here’s to waking up groggy on Sunday morning, and staying that way until October. In other time change news, Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services is advising residents that this is a good time to inspect all of your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Ensure you test them and replace all the batteries. Smoke alarms should also be replaced every seven to 10 years. “Having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside every bedroom and on each floor of your home is strongly recommended. More than 2300 people die each year in home fires. Having a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm that works 24 hours a day greatly increases your chances of survival in the case of a fire.”

He’s stole the reference from none other than young, of Cuban-descent to attract the Adolf Hitler, who dispatched his political HIspanic vote, good looking and appealrivals in bloody fashion in June of 1934. ing. A sure thing. Except he wasn’t. He’s failed miserably, Trump has on occasion during this campaign been called a fascist and frequently but he’s staying in the race, collecting as many delegates as he can, which is not compared to Hitler. It is unlikely the Republican attempt to many. But it’s some. And if indeed the long knives come out, stop Trump will be quite so bloodthirsty, as many predict they will, there will be but the knives are coming out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

the convention. The idea is that the remaining candidates would have enough votes collectively to stop Trump. Then they would decide who the standard bearer would be and nominate that person. So say, Rubio takes Florida, Kasich — yes he’s still in the race — takes Ohio, Cruz takes California, or at least gives Trump a run for his money and takes some delegates. You don’t have to have one other clear winner, you just need Trump not to get to the magic 1,237 number. But the brilliant plan is going to fall apart if Trump keeps racking up delegates as he did in the primaries Tuesday night. He’s already one third of the way to the magic number. Florida is a big one. It’s a winner gets all the delegates state. It’s Rubio’s home state and he should do well, but he has yet to pick up any major endorsements. In fact four of the state’s largest newspapers took the unprecedented move this week of declining to endorse anyone. We kind of hate all the candidates was the message — there’s no one running we can endorse. It’s certainly a ticklish situation for the Repubs and they are desperately trying to find any way at all around Trump, the nominee. But if Trump cleans up in Florida, all bets are likely off. The long knives will have to be put away for another day. It will be all over but the shouting. And who can shout louder than Trump? Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Opinion/Events

For he’s a jolly good Fellowes What’s Up?

“It – Downton Abbey finale – was like watching some poor soul stuff the baggage of a lifetime into a little suitcase.” Mathilda Q.

ast Sunday evening, some female associates of mine wept a little but, I laughed until my throat was sore and almost threw out my hip by slapping so hard at my thigh. I watched the finale of Downton Abbey with tears of laughter in my eyes. If you have no idea what it is that I am chuntering on about, don’t worry. Maybe PBS will run the show through the wringer again or Knowledge Network will follow suite, as usual. This now famous soap from Britain is mainly about three sisters, daughters of an English Lord, but includes the shenanigans of the servants too. To me, was an enlarged, colour version of ‘Upstairs Downstairs’, if any of you ever became embroiled in that series. My mother-in-law had been an upstairs maid in such an establishment but she, not the lady daughter of the house, married the chauffeur. Anyway, it is not up to me to explain to you all of the events in that series. I just have to tell you how I almost mutilated myself watching the grand finale. You see the writer, Julian Fellowes, got himself into series of pickles. In each epi-

sode he piled trouble after trouble on to his characters but then had to sort out the mess in ninety minutes. This is what tickled my fancy and had me falling off the chesterfield. With one sister Sybil dead and the oldest one Mary now married again, the middle girl Edith falls for a fellow who has suddenly become a super important Earl but she hasn’t yet told him that she had previously given birth to a child out of wedlock. It is also hinted that the previous earl who has just died conveniently without issue was probably gay as all get out. The new earl’s ‘Mummy’ Peter is a bit of a harridan and Warland will stubbornly refuse to let her son marry ‘a tart’, aristocrat or not, but Julian Fellowes steps in smartly and gets her to relent. Amazing! Some viewers became confused because of the naming system in a big house like Downton Abbey. The lowly maids and cooks’ helpers were called by their first names, as were Anna and Daisy. Junior male servants also got called by first names, as was Thomas, but those with some sort of rank were given their family names and called Mister or Mrs. Mrs is an abbreviation of mistress or boss, like Mrs Hughes who ran the household and caused confusion when she married Mr Carson, the butler. Got that? Test next week.

Last Sunday I kept having visions of the author Julian Fellowes sitting with an aide or two and a bottle of whiskey figuring out the conclusion of the series and wondering just how naïve their audience was going to be. Would it be all right for the awful under-butler Thomas Barrow to leave Downton to everyone’s relief, and then be rehired as Butler Supremo to replace the ailing Mister Carson? Come on! How about getting Anna to give birth finally to her own child in her mistress’s bed? You’re joking! What if the dowdy Daisy should suddenly chop back her long hair, dye it, smear on lipstick and suddenly become sexually attractive? Surely you jest. And poor Mrs Patmore, the cook! Doesn’t she have a happy ending after mothering Daisy and having that hysterical conversation with Mrs Hughes about her upcoming marriage to Mr Carson, about whether he might or might not expect ‘a proper marriage’? So how about hinting that she might become involved with Daisy’s father-in-law? That would be a bit of a stretch. But this is ‘a soap’, don’t forget. In ordinary families not everyone has insurmountable problems all at once, or do they? But, if they did, wouldn’t it be great if every large family had Julian Fellowes to sort out the messes they get in? If he did mine in the manner that he finished Downton Abbey I’d probably die … of laughter.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week March 6 -12 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1906 We were had … Sometime in November a dark skinned individual who claimed that he was from Macedonia and was travelling through the country looking for homes for poor girls in his country, who had embraced the Christian faith and wanted homes where they could learn the ways of civilization and secure an education in the English language in return for what domestic services they might perform. The proposition seemed to be a good one to a number of people in Cranbrook as it had to many in other cities in the province, and as a result it is said that $450 in cold cash was handed out to the nice appearing foreigner to send the poor girls here to commence their labors for two years for the sake of civilization. There was also a story that the man who was here had left his brother in bondage in his country for his safe return with the money. Be it as it may, weeks have gone by and nothing has been beard of the mysterious man or the money. It is also said that he secured about $700 in Nelson, about $600 in Revelstoke, $250 in Fernie, and various amounts in the different towns along the line from the coast east. The last heard from him was while he was at Regina, and he reported to Rev. Westman that there was some trouble at home and he had received orders to stop his work. Since then there has been absolute silence, although Mr. Westman has done all in his power to secure some information as to his whereabouts and the reliability of his professions. In the meantime there is a general effort on the part of a number of people in the cities of the Kootenays to secure house

help but they are not looking for anyone from Macedonia. Which one will it be? … It is time to talk of sidewalks or raise a fund for rubber boots. A big attraction ... The Verna May Co., band and orchestra, which has just closed a six weeks’ engagement at the Lyric Theatre, Calgary, open a three nights engagement here on Thursday, March 15, in the beautiful comedy drama “Queen of Hearts,” with six big vaudeville features between acts, including the great Arnolda juggling wizard and chin balancer; Miller and May, the comedian and soubrette, the latent illustrated songs, McLean and Alvin, comedy sketch artists and Fred P. Miller, singing and dancing comedian. There will be an entire change of play and specialties at each performance. There will be a parade at noon on Thursday and free concert in front of theatre at 7:30 each evening. Well again … Dr. James H. King, the member for Cranbrook and Liberal whip, who has been confined to his bed for several days past, is now somewhat improved and hopes to be able to attend to his parliamentary duties tomorrow. Dr. King is one of the most useful members of the house and as official whip has proved invaluable to his party, His absence caused no little inconvenience, and his return will be warmly welcomed on both sides of the house. He had intended speaking on the budget in further support of the arguments already frequently advanced by him that the requirements of Southeast Kootenay were not properly appreciated by the government of the day. Play ball … Cranbrook should have a first-class baseball team this year. There is no reason in the world why this town cannot get up a team that will skin anything along the Crow. The material is here, and all that is needed is organization.

Ouch … Albert Lund, of Moyie, while driving a horse about the St. Eugene mine last Tuesday, was badly injured in a runaway and was brought to the St. Eugene hospital for treatment. The unfortunate man had one leg broken and was badly bruised all over his body. Stop right now … There is more reckless shooting going on around Cranbrook. Last evening Mrs. Hoskins, while walking, had a bullet strike the ground just in front of her, throwing up the dust in a manner that was enough to carry terror to the bravest heart. This carelessness in shooting should be stopped. Some day there will be a tragedy and then the party guilty will carry to his grave the knowledge of a deed done that he would have given worlds to have escaped. Brewery news … The Cranbrook brewery, under the new management, is rapidly getting ready to meet the demand for their product, and expect to have a new brew out some time next week. Mr. Poplier, the brewmaster of the Fernie brewery, was in town this week supervising the work, and when the brew is ready for delivery it can be depended upon as being the best. That is the only kind Mr. Mutz will permit the establishment to turn out. Moved along … Moyie has lost its distinction of having the only lady barber in the Kootenays. Last Saturday Miss Ida Lindell sold her barber shop fixtures and good will of the business to Waiter B. Laing, who owns the shop opposite the Kootenay hotel. Wm. Pierson, of Toronto, will be here to take charge of the shop in a few days. Miss Lindell left Thursday for Spokane, and from there she intends going to Iowa to visit her parents. Miss Lindell made plenty of money and a host of friends during her six months’ residence in Moyie.

Dynamiters complete sweep of Thunder Cats Kimberley Dynamiters score third overtime victory of series to claim division title, advance to conference final

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

CRESTON — All season long, Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks has praised the play of his 20-yearold veterans. Wednesday night at the Johnny Bucyk Arena, it was a hungry group of defending KIJHL champions that once again out battled and edged a highly-skilled and structured Creston Valley Thunder Cats squad as the Dynamiters claimed a 4-3 overtime victory, sweeping through to the KIJHL’s Kootenay Conference championship. “It was our drive and will to win [that set us apart],” said Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer following Wednesday’s series-clinching win. “Coming into playoffs, I had fond memories of last year and I want to make new memories with this group. All the guys that were with us last year have the same mentality.” On the heels of a two-goal performance in Game 3, hometown boy Jared Marchi saved his best for last in the Eddie Mountain Division final, scoring the gameand series-clinching goal 4:29 into the first overtime period Wednesday. Between the pipes, Brouwer was his usually spectacular self, turning aside 36 pucks for his eighth victory of the 2016 KIJHL post-season. “Tremendous credit to [the Thunder Cats], I was very impressed with how they came out in the first period,” Bancks said Wednesday. “Our guys weren’t ready to match them. They are a very skilled, very fast and very good team. “Our guys can be proud, no matter what happens from here, because we just beat one of the best teams in the KIJHL.” Prior to Marchi’s game-winner, the Dynamiters received goals from Eric Buckley, Jason Richter and Keenan Haase, while the Thunder Cats responded with tallies from Carson Cartwright, Logan Styler and Alec Wilkinson. Brock Lefebvre made

27 saves in a losing effort, but was stellar all night despite the outcome. The series-ending sequence provided ultimate deja vu for those who had taken in any of the hockey prior to Game 4.

“It was our drive and will to win [that set us apart]. Coming into playoffs, I had fond memories of last year and I want to make new memories with this group.” Goaltender Tyson Brouwer With the opening overtime period wearing down, Styler burst down the left side into Kimberley territory and appeared to have a clear lane to put a puck on net with traffic building around Brouwer’s crease. Instead, the Thunder Cats’ speedster opted to dish back towards the high slot, but the attempt was broken up and the Dynamiters turned the play up ice. “It turned out to be a 3-on-2,” Marchi said, recounting the lead up to his goal. “We had a good middle drive that took the other ‘D’ man to the net and gave me lots of time in the slot. Coach had pounded into my head to shoot low blocker. Since I’m left-handed I did that and it just happened to find its way into the net. “It’s an unbelievable feeling. It kind of leaves you speechless for a little bit. I had no idea what to do after I saw the light go on. I just jumped, slid on my knees. I was just too happy to even think about what I was doing out there. It’s definitely a great feeling.” The tally put an end to a series that, despite ending in a four-game sweep, required three overtime games to find a

decision. “We showed up every night. Game 3 for us was a struggle, for sure, and one we’d like to have back, but short of that… There wasn’t much to regret,” said Jeff Dubois, head coach and general manager of the Thunder Cats. “I wouldn’t say we were at our best for 65 minutes, but we showed some jam coming back late in [Game 4]. “Kimberley is obviously a top team. You kind of chuckle at the end of the series thinking we took three games to overtime and went 0-for-3. What are the chances? That’s the difference between the season being done [Wednesday] and going a little further.” Set aside a 5-2 Dynamiters victory in Game 3, this was a series tightly contested from the first puck drop straight through to the final red light. Game 4 served as the third overtime game in the series and Marchi’s heroics might not have been necessary if not for a fantastic late-game effort from Wilkinson. With only 2:23 remaining in regulation, the Thunder Cats won a draw to the glove side of Brouwer. Wilkinson snuck through the defense and sent a quick, low shot to the back of the net, bringing a raucous crowd to its feet at the Johnny Bucyk Arena as he tied the game 3-3, eventually forcing overtime. “It always is tough, but I think as a goaltender, you face that a lot,” Brouwer said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s playoffs, regular season, third period or second period when you get scored on. I have little tricks I do to get my head back in the game. I think of it as we still have a lead and it’s just one goal. That’s just how I try to come about those things. “I know the team is going to get it back anyways, so it’s easy to bounce back from.” Prior to that, it looked as though Haase was going to be the lategame hero. After both teams buckled down with a 2-2

It was simply another eye-popping moment in a game and series that had consistently produced unpredictable, entertaining, back-andforth hockey. As Bancks alluded to, the Thunder Cats came

out in the first period like a team fighting for its last life. With the sustained pressure the Thunder Cats were able to establish, it was only a matter of time before Cartwright found some free space and when he did, he made good on it, sending a sharp snap shot bar down and in behind Brouwer for a 1-0 Creston lead. The Thunder Cats continued to pour the pressure on, finishing the period with a 1-0

lead on the scoreboard and a 14-3 advantage in shots. If the Dynamiters forgot their legs on the bus for the first period, they certainly went back and dug them out for the second. “I never once felt we weren’t going to somehow win this game,” Bancks said. “Once I saw how we came out at the start of the second period, I thought we were going to win the

game… I had a good feeling. It’s a pretty special group.” Buckley got the visitors on the board early in the period, jamming home a net-side effort to tie the game 1-1 only 40 seconds in.

Sports CCAA Volleyball Championships begin in Charlottetown

Continued from page 8 Less than five minutes later, Richter did his best Cartwright impression. Left alone in the circle with time and space, the Kimberley captain fired a hot shot past Lefebvre to give the Dynamiters their first lead of the night. Before the middle period was over, Styler snuck to the backdoor and banged a loose puck past Brouwer to knot the game 2-2 after 40 minutes. After being significantly outshot and out-possessed in the first period, the Nitros were able to tilt the ice in their favour during the second period, outshooting the Thunder Cats by a 14-10 margin. For the Thunder Cats, it is the second consecutive year their season has come to an end at the hands of the Dynamiters. In 2015, Kimberley worked past Creston in a five-game Eddie Mountain Division semifinal before eventually going

on to win the KIJHL championship. “You look at the group Kimberley’s had the past couple years, which is a special group with Richter, Marchi, Brouwer, Buckley, Busch, Meier and so forth, maybe it was our bad luck, Carson Cartwright’s bad luck or Alec Wilkinson’s bad luck that they just happened to come along at the same time Kimberley has had a pretty dominant group of veteran players,” Dubois said. “If we weren’t in Kimberley’s division, we’re probably playing hockey a little bit longer. It just so happens that the team that went on to win the championship last year, and who you have to expect has a pretty good chance to do the same this year, is a team we’re going to face in the first or second round. “That speaks to the strength of the division. But we had a group of 20-year-olds… that laid it all on the line. It’s

tough to come up just short, but it’s how she goes sometimes.” With the win, the Dynamiters advance to the Kootenay Conference final for the second consecutive year and will face whichever team emerges from the Neil Murdoch Division final. Wednesday night, the Grand Forks Border Bruins scored a 2-1 overtime victory at home against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, staving off elimination and forcing a fifth game in the best-of-seven series. “We can’t get satisfied,” Brouwer said. “You can’t sit around and wait for your next opponent and think because you swept you’re going to walk into the next series. “You’ve just got to keep level-headed. Even though we won last year, it’s harder this year than it was last year. We have to keep our heads on straight and focus on the prize.”

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, March 10th, 2016 LOOKING TO USE A CITY PARK FOR YOUR EVENT? PLEASE BOOK AHEAD

SPRING STREET SWEEPING OPERATIONS UNDERWAY

Generally there is no cost to use a City park for nonprofit gatherings or events. All gatherings should be booked with Leisure Services.

Motorists are asked to please slow down around the street sweeping equipment and their operators and give the equipment space as you drive by. Crews will continue into different areas of the City over the next few months with evening street cleaning operations expected to begin in April.

If you require the use of the Rotary Park bandstand or the Idlewild Park amphitheatre there is a nominal fee to cover the use of electrical services. If you require custodial services like garbage collection, bleachers, grass cutting or the use of electrical services for your event, these requests MUST be made at the time of booking to be considered. There is no guarantee these services can be provided, so submit your request early. For more information including booking, rates and other requests please contact cityparks@cr vv

Residents who do park their vehicles on the street, especially in residential areas are asked to please watch for sweepers in their neighbourhood and do their best to move their vehicles off the street to allow for easier street cleaning. Sweeping operations are expected to be finished by early June. Photo courtesy e-Know.ca

NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR 2015 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD

WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS ON YOUR PROPERTY, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

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.

With the warmer weather closing in, many of us are beginning to think about our yards and gardens – planning for the summer months. Along with the planning and preparation, residents and property owners need to also consider taking steps to prepare for the possibility of wildfire. There are plenty of public education tools available to provide advice on wildfire preparedness for individuals and homeowners, which can teach how to adapt to living with the threat of wildfire and how to work with your community and your neighbours to prevent loss of life and property in the event of a wildfire. If you have questions about techniques, materials, and procedures, contact Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services, provincial forestry personnel or local landscaping groups. You can also visit http://bcwildfire.ca/Prevention/ firesmart.htm or http://cranbrook.ca/our-city/ city-departments/fire-and-emergencyservices/firesmart/ for plenty of great information to help you prepare.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are known to be impulsive, yet you will make an effort to stay steady in pursuing a certain goal. Confusion could surround you, which will reflect a need to change your direction at work or within the community. Tonight: Switch gears; let go of any hassles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might want to let a partner dominate more when dealing with a matter that affects both of you. Though you usually see the big picture, right now you might be biased by a resistance to change. Take your time, and do not force a decision or action. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your friends could cause a major ruckus if you support their ideas. Listen to a loved one who seems more serious-minded. You might make a demand that changes your financial status. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of the situation first. Tonight: Where the gang is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will take a stand and express why you feel as if a certain decision is needed. Expect to hear from a partner all the reasons you might be wrong. Understand that you do not need to respond immediately to an outrageous matter. Tonight: Up late, possibly hashing out a situation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out for more information. Once you gather all the facts, you will feel much better and more prepared to deal with nearly anything. The solution might be unusually simple and uncreative, yet you will need to see the bigger picture. Tonight: Consider a getaway! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating might be preferred by many people right now. You only have so much time to pursue a certain course of action. Don’t be surprised if a partner or a loved one loses his or her patience and reacts in an unexpected way. Tonight: Play it easy and relaxed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

250-919-6530

Defer to others. Communication might be difficult at this point, and you don’t need any hassles. A change around a domestic matter might feel uncomfortable at first. Work with it. Others continue to surprise you with their reactions. Tonight: Try not to be controlling. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Recognize that you have only so much energy, and that it needs to be focused appropriately. A financial matter might be on the back burner, but it is in the forefront of your mind. Your nervous energy is high, and could result in some emotional swings. Tonight: Take it easy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will allow much more input from a loved one, especially as you know that you have been uptight and perhaps negative as of late. This person radiates positive energy, but might shock you with his or her choices. Tonight: Go into weekend mode as soon as possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Work from home if you can. You could benefit from some quiet,

reflective time. You might be weighing the pros and cons of a situation, as you understand that there still may be another path. Maintain your levelheadedness, and play it cool. Tonight: Pull back if need be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Communication flourishes all around you. In fact, it might please you to ignore others’ efforts to reach out to you. In a sense, you will be in your own world, and you’ll be prepared to maintain that status no matter what others say or do. Tonight: Feel free to be spontaneous. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your possessive side emerges when dealing with a difficult boss or client. You could feel as if the other party is demanding too much from you. Be smart and be realistic. The unexpected could occur if you push too far with your spending. Tonight: Buy a lottery ticket.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My sister lives with my father. She is supposed to be helping him, but she has a problem with depression and self-medicates with marijuana and alcohol. Do you have any recommendations as to how to handle her? She is so difficult to work with, and will not admit that she needs help. -- Concerned Siblings Dear Siblings: We’re not sure what you are looking to do. Is the drinking and pot use excessive? Does your sister neglect or abuse your father? Have you spoken to your father? Has he voiced any complaints? Are you willing to take Dad into your home to better care for him? Can you afford to hire occasional help for Dad? It’s unlikely that you will convince your sister to treat her depression by talking to a doctor or a therapist. You have tried discussing it, to no avail. Unless you are willing to remove Dad from the home, you have little influence on her forms of relaxation. If she is abusive or neglectful, report the situation to Adult Protective Services. And whenever possible, please take over so that your sister can get a break. Being the primary caregiver is a tough job, no matter what shape you’re in, and it may be more stressful for your sister than you realize. Dear Annie: I have read with interest the many letters from both men and women of a certain age who are dealing with sexual and intimacy issues. Then I read the letter from “Three Sexy Broads in Vermont.” First, I applaud them and count myself in the same league -- over 70 and still sexy. To the rest, I ask, “Didn’t you need to go through a learning process to find mutual satisfaction in sex when you were younger?” The answer is yes, and now our bodies and our sexual needs are different. We need to learn new ways. Annie, you publish all these letters, but never a source of information. There must be some resources out there to learn about geriatric sex. Please do us all a favor, and post some sources of advice. -- Fourth Sexy Broad Dear Fourth: You must have been absent from school on the day we said that AARP offers some wonderful information and help. Go to lifereimagined.aarp.org and click on “Relationships” in the menu. You also can find information through the Mayo Clinic, and at your local library or bookstore. And if you Google “senior sex,” there are all kinds of websites that offer tips and advice that you can peruse as you see fit. Here’s the last word: Dear Annie: A lot of us would love to have great sex after menopause. The problem is not how our bodies look, but how things function. For thousands of women, sex is just too painful. Some, like me, have had breast cancer and gone through chemo and hormone treatment. There is no drug or cream available that will both alleviate our painful symptoms and is safe for us to take. I’m glad these “Three Sexy Broads in Vermont” are having the time of their lives in the bedroom. Just don’t expect this to be the case for all of us, and they shouldn’t make us feel guilty for not enjoying a better sex life. I am thankful to have a loyal husband who understands the changes I’ve gone through and loves me anyway. I would do the same for him. -Grateful to Be Alive Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The family of Jacquie Savoie

David de Pledge Harrison died at home on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at the age of 81. Dave’s life began in Victoria in 1934 and he grew up in Kimberley. He was an accomplished athlete, participating in many sports. His curling took him to the Briar twice and his running put him on Canada’s Olympic Team. David met the love of his life, Bonnie Chlopan, at age 17 on the tennis court. Married in 1958, Dave and Bonnie continued to play competitive tennis and badminton until they were 60. They also travelled extensively and spent half the year in Mesa, Arizona for 21 years. David’s greatest pleasure was playing duplicate bridge. In 1987, he and his partner became world masters when they placed third in the world and first in North America against 100,000 players from 77 countries all playing the same hands. David started his career in banking at BMO and became the youngest bank manager. Laurentide Finance hired Dave to develop their mortgage branches across Canada. For McDonald Douglas in Toronto, Dave started and ran Telecheck Canada, a cheque-guaranteeing company which he built from two employees to five hundred. Dave is survived by his wife of 57 years, Bonnie, his two sons, Michael (Joanne) of Mississauga, Ontario and Lincoln of Kimberley, BC; daughter, Tannis of Dawson City, Yukon; granddaughters Samantha and Leigh and great-granddaughter, Sofia. Also left are his brother, Michael (Pat) of Kimberley, BC. A memorial for David will be held in the Green Room at Joseph Creek at 1901 Willowbrook Drive on Saturday, March 12, 2016 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember David may make a donation to the Kootenay Haven House, 39 – 13th Ave. S., V1C 1V4. Cheques should be made payable to CMHA.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Continued from page 7

New building … Plans are being prepared for a large building to be erected at the corner of Baker and Van Horne streets just west of the Cranbrook hotel and opposite the station. It will be a two storey building and similar in appearance to the Aiken block at the corner of Baker and Cranbrook streets. Streets & sidewalks … One subject that might be profitably discussed at the board of trade meeting on Tuesday evening, is that of sidewalks. The condition of the streets at the present time is enough to arouse the ire of a saint. There should be sidewalks of some kind put down, and at that meeting they could do no better than to start a movement of this kind. New site for public buildings … The mayor and city council seem to be unanimous in their opinion that the new offer for a site for the public buildings is a big improvement upon the site originally selected. The poplar grove at the end of Baker street in a plot of ground about egg-shape and has a greater area than the six lots selected on Norbury avenue. It is the idea of the mayor and council to place the building in the center of the park and then beautify the grounds by lawns and flower beds. By building on this site Cranbrook will have a place to take strangers to a beauty spot in the town, an attractive place in which every citizen will take pride. The Herald believes that every man in the town will

heartily support the council in this move. It is a wise one in every respect. As Alderman Jackson said at the meeting last evening: “I have property on the other street and if the buildings went there it would be worth money to me, but the park is the only place in the town for those buildings and I am heartily in favor of that location.” And Alderman Jackson did not hurt himself with the people when he would not let private interests stand in the way of a movement that was for the public good. This new location will give more room for the buildings and at the same time will give a commanding site that will place the new buildings in plain view of the railway station. It will also tend to confine the business on Baker Street as that street will be further improved to the east. Good news … Everybody in Cranbrook will be overjoyed to know that the report regarding the probable death of Father Coccola at the hands of the Indians in the north is not well founded. No man who ever lived in this section had to a greater extent the love of the people than Father Coccola. He was looked upon as a true Christian gentleman, one who had given his life for the salvation of the ignorant and the unsaved, and the personal sacrifices made by him have been equalled by very few in this world. He is doing a grand work among the Indians in the north and the Herald joins with his ardent admir-

Rumours of Father Coccola’s death are greatly exaggerated. ers in wishing him success. Train wreck … A serious accident occurred on the Crow’s Nest branch on Saturday morning last, a few miles east of Sirdar. The train was moving along at its regular rate, when the driver saw from his cab a huge amount of rock fall upon the track. He did all possible to stop the train but was too close. He warned the fireman, Joe. Alexander, and at the same time jumped, and was safe, but the fireman had not sufficient time and when the engine and four cars rolled over he was pinned fast to the ground. After some time the body was released and brought to Cranbrook on the

passenger train. The event cast a gloom over the city. He was a bright active young man, his parents and friends live in Scotland. The sad news was wired to Medicine Hat and the Caledonian Society of which he was a member sent a man here to look after the remains of their fellow lodgeman. The body was taken to Medicine Hat Monday where the funeral will take place. Lively times … There was quite an exciting time on the street Thursday when two large dogs got into a scrap. In a few minutes a large crowd was in view. Cranbrook is always lively. Well deserved praise ... Cranbrook had a fire recently, but Cranbrook has a fire brigade and on the occasion the members acquitted themselves so well that the town was saved and the damage was confined to the building in which the fire broke out. The Cranbrook people showed their appreciation by showering praise on the brigade and supplementing the bouquets with a substantial purse. If as prompt and efficient work had been done in Fernie two years ago half a million dollars worth of property would have been saved. Cranbrook looks good … Cranbrook is the principal City in Southeast Kootenay with a population of over 3,500. It is the commercial, banking, and social center of the Kootenay valley. Is a divisional point on the Crows Nest branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The surface and character of the coun-

try tributary to Cranbrook are agreeably various. Beginning with the immense prairie, containing thousands of acres, northeast of the city, chiefly valuable for stock-raising dairying and other kindred institutions. Then the great tables of bench lands extending back to the mountains, covered with forests of pine, fir and tamarack. On these bench lands the soil is good, with plenty of water, plenty of rainfall, and no irrigation is needed. On many of the benches there are spots where there is but little or no timber, where it is easily cleared. Rich grass grows all through the timber and on the benches, furnishing unlimited grazing for cattle. In some of the main valleys, and most of the lateral valleys are to be found splendid farming and timbered lands. There are great opportunities for industrious people to get cheap homes here and to engage in agricultural, horticultural and stock-raising pursuits on any scale. The mines of the district and lumbering camps furnish a constantly increasing market for all kinds of ranch produce. There is room in this district for thousands of settlers, and now is the time to get in and take up land. New stage service ... Hanson of Wasa, was in Cranbrook Monday on business. It is reported that Mr. Hanson will purchase an automobile, and arrange a twice a week stage line between Wasa and Cranbrook.

George Martin, guided the Beatles to fame, dies at 90 G Associated Press

eorge Martin, the Beatles’ urbane producer who quietly guided the band’s swift, historic transformation from rowdy club act to musical and cultural revolutionaries, has died, his management said Wednesday. He was 90. Too modest to claim the title of the fifth Beatle, the tall, elegant Londoner produced some of the most popular and influential albums of modern times — “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” ”Revolver,“ ”Rubber Soul,“ ”Abbey Road“ — elevating rock LPs to art forms. Martin both witnessed and enabled the extraordinary metamorphosis of the Beatles and of the 1960s. From a raw first album in 1962 that took just a day to make, to the months-long production of “Sgt. Pepper,” the Beatles advanced rapidly as songwriters and sonic explorers. They composed dozens of classics, from “She Loves You” to “Hey Jude,” and turned the

studio into a wonderland of tape loops, multi-tracking, unpredictable tempos, unfathomable segues and kaleidoscopic montages. Never again would rock music be defined by two-minute love songs or guitar-bassdrums arrangements. Lyrically and musically, anything became possible. “Once we got beyond the bubblegum stage, the early recordings, and they wanted to do something more adventurous, they were saying, ‘What can you give us?”’ Martin told The Associated Press in 2002. “And I said, ‘I can give you anything you like.”’ Martin started producing records for EMI’s Parlophone label in 1950, working on comedy recordings with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and others, Sharp said. He had his first No. 1 hit in 1961 with The Temperance Seven. But his legacy was defined by the Beatles, for the contributions he made, and for those he

George Martin working out a guitar phrase during the recording of the album “A Hard Day’s Night” didn’t. When he took on the Liverpool group, Martin was very much in charge, choosing “Love Me Do” as their first single and initially confining the newly hired Ringo Starr to tambourine - a slight the drummer never quite got over. But during a time when the young were displacing the old, Mar-

tin too would be upstaged. Before the Beatles, producers such as Phil Spector and Berry Gordy controlled the recording process, choosing the arrangements and musicians; picking, and sometimes writing, the songs or claiming credit for them. The Beatles, led by the songwriting team of McCart-

ney and John Lennon, became their own bosses, relying on Martin not for his vision, but for what he could do for theirs. They were among the first rock groups to compose their own material and, inspired by native genius, a world’s tour of musical influences and all the latest stimulants, they demanded new sounds. Martin was endlessly called on to perform the impossible, and often succeeded, splicing recordings at different speeds for “Strawberry Fields Forever” or, for “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” simulating a calliope with keyboards, harmonica and a harmonium that the producer himself played with such intensity he passed out on the floor. Martin would have several good turns on the keyboards, performing a lively music hall solo on McCartney’s “Lovely Rita” and a speeded-up Baroque reverie on Lennon’s “In My Life.” His bearing was infinitely more patrician than that of the Fab Four, but he grew up working class. Born in north London in 1926, Martin was a carpenter’s son raised in a threeroom flat without a kitchen, bathroom or electricity. He was a gifted musician who mastered Chopin by ear, a born experimenter enchanted whenever he discovered a new chord. After World War II service in the Fleet Air Arm, he attended London’s Guildhall School of Music, studying composition and orchestration, and performance on the oboe and piano.

When he started at Parlophone, Martin worked with primitive technology, recording on wax cylinders with machines driven by weights, not electricity. In 1955, aged 29, Martin became head of Parlophone. He worked with Judy Garland and with jazz stars Stan Getz, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth. By the early 1960s, Parlophone was fading and Martin was anxious to break into the pop market when a Liverpool shopkeeper and music manager, Brian Epstein, insisted that he listen to a local quartet. The Beatles already had been turned down by Decca Records and told that “guitar groups are on the way out.” Martin also was unimpressed by their music, but, to his eternal fortune, was pushed into signing them by EMI executive L.G. Wood. Martin later said he didn’t think much of the band’s rough-and-ready music, but “fell in love” with the four Liverpool lads. He was more than a decade older than any of them and, like an indulgent parent, tolerated and often enjoyed their sassy humour. On the first day in the studio, Martin lectured the Beatles on their weaknesses, then asked if there was anything they didn’t like. “I don’t like your tie,” George Harrison reportedly quipped. The Beatles seemed to reinvent themselves from album to album, and sometimes from song to song. The single “I Feel Fine” was among the first records to include guitar feedback, while Harrison’s sitar on Lennon’s “Norwegian Wood” introduced millions of listeners to Eastern sounds. Their lyrics, especially Lennon’s, became more personal and sophisticated, and sometimes surreal. None of the Beatles could read music, so they depended on Martin’s classical background. They might hum a melody to the producer, who would translate it into a written score, as he did for a trumpet solo on McCartney’s “Penny Lane.” For “Yesterday,” Martin persuaded McCartney that a string quartet would serve the song’s tender remorse. Martin initially didn’t share in the band’s vast

wealth, drawing a staff salary from EMI. But in 1965, he left to help form an independent company, Associated Independent Recordings. The Beatles agreed to keep working with him, on a freelance basis, leading Martin to boast that “I suppose I am now earning more than the managing director of EMI records.” The Beatles began to break apart after “Sgt. Pepper,” released in 1967, and Martin’s contributions would also peak. Responding to the Band and other American groups, the Beatles turned against their own studio tricks and preached a more basic sound. Their double “White” album was far more spare, and individual Beatles essentially served as producers for their own songs. The album’s length was also a rebuke to Martin; he had urged them to put out a single record, saying there wasn’t enough good material for two. For “Let It Be,” a self-conscious effort to reclaim their early magic, they rejected Martin altogether, turning over the tapes to Spector. After “Let It Be,” an unhappy process for all involved, Martin assumed he was done with the Beatles, but they asked him back for “Abbey Road.” Released in the fall of 1969, it was their final, slickest record, capped by an extended suite of song fragments. The band officially split the following year. Artistically, Martin would never approach such heights again. But he did manage commercial success with such pop acts as America and the Little River Band and produced two James Bond themes Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger” and McCartney’s “Live and Let Die.” Martin had intended the production and scoring of “Candle In The Wind ‘97,” Elton John’s tribute to Princess Diana at her funeral, to be his last single. But in 2000 he produced “1,” a multimillion-selling compilation of Beatles’ No. 1 songs, then followed with a six-CD retrospective of his recording career.

arts/entertainment Eclectic Celtic concert has toes tapping at Studio 64

Kootenay Concert Connections in associtation with Summit 107 FM presents

Blackthorn, live at Studio 64, March 4 M ik e Re d f ern

Vancouver’s Celtic folk band, Blackthorn, brought their eclectic Celtic style of folk music to Studio 64 on Friday night, entertaining the sold out crowd with strathspeys, jigs, reels, waltzes, polkas and romantic airs and ballads that were drawn from cultures far and wide. French and English Canadian, Scottish, Irish, American and Hungarian tunes were among the repertoire performed at this Kimberley concert, all played with an instrumental refinement and sweet vocal harmony that did nothing to repress the innate vitality of the music or the energy of the performance. Blackthorn has been around since 1989; none of them are kids any more. The maturity of the band was evident

Rod Wilson

Vancouver’s Blackthorn played Studio 64 in Kimberley, March 4. in the easy way in which the instruments and voices fused together to create a complex but unified sound. This was a comfortable performance, relaxed, confident, and sprinkled with humour, that slowly drew in the audience until many were clapping or toe-tapping along, finally joining in singing the choruses of ‘The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond’ to bring

the night to an end. While all four musicians, Rosie Carver on fiddle, Michelle Carlisle on flutes, piccolo, fife, & whistle, Michael Viens on guitars, harmonica & bodhran, and Tim Renaud on bass, mandolin & bodhran, were all excellent, it was Carlisle who, perhaps, stole the show, soloing on one or another of her instruments and vocally on many of the numbers

with great sweetness and virtuosity. She and Viens kept the chatter and jokes going between numbers, occasionally abetted by Renaud. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and their smiles were reciprocated on the faces of the audience. This was the opening concert in Kimberley Arts Council’s Live at Studio 64 spring series which will see Alberta roots & rock singer-songwriter Joe Nolan at Studio 64 on April 16 and the Alberta blues/ rock band Red Cannons on stage on May 28. Both have been making notable inroads into the recording market recently. Advance tickets for these shows are $22 for arts council members, $24 non-members, available online from www.eastkootenaysnapd.com or from Centre 64 (250-4274919). Admission at the door is $26 if the show is not sold out.
