McCormick to bring flat tax decision back to Council C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Although Kimberley City Council, by a vote of four to three, decided to knock $80 off of Kimberley’s flat tax last week, Mayor Don McCormick is going to ask them to have another look at it.

The flat tax was brought into play years ago to try to compensate for widely varying property values in Kimberley. In the early 2000s for example, you could have a house in the downtown area valued at $50,000 while a new home on the ski hill might be valued at $600,000 or more. The flat tax meant that both the properties paid the same amount as a portion of their taxes rather than relying solely on the mill rate.

Coun. Kent Goodwin has argued against the flat tax for some time, saying it was unfair and regressive. He campaigned on that idea in 2014.

“Kimberley is one of only five communities in B.C. with a flat tax,” he told Council last week. “And our flat tax is the highest in B.C. Reducing it slowly over the next 10 years is a good step forward.”

Councillors Kitto, Middlebrook and Oakley agreed and the motion passed, but not before McCormick argued vigorously against the move.

“The flat tax taxes lower value homes at the same rate as higher value.

It keeps the mill rate taxes lower and in a community like Kimberley it’s important,” he said. “We have to keep tax rates attractive for resident attraction.

We are in competition with other communities on these lifestyle immigrants.”

Junior Women’s Hockey comes to Kimberley BARRY COULTER

Kimberley will be the hometown of a new junior hockey team, a women’s team that plays in a league operated by a league dedicated to providing opportunities for young women to develop into collegiate student-athletes.

The Junior Women’s Hockey League announced on Thursday, March 17, that it has approved three new teams for the next season, which will mark the league’s 10-year anniversary.

Mikko Makela, former NHL player and longtime Warner Hockey School coach, will coach the team. The Kimberley team will be called the Nitro Xpress

Ridley College in St. Catherines, Ont., and the Chicago “Young Americans” Chicago, IL), will also begin play for 2016-2017.

A press release from the league said that Makela knows the JWHL well and will be able to bring elite players to Kimberley. The league quoted the Kimberley Academy, the hockey school that will be associated with the team, as saying they “are thrilled” at the opportunity presented by the JWHL to be joining one of the premier female hockey leagues in North America.

“We are very excited to build on the long hockey tradition of our community by adding an elite female program to the renowned Dynamiter hockey history.”

The Junior Women’s Hockey League was established in 2007 by Bill Driscoll and Kush Sidhu. It started with four teams, and has since expanded to more than a dozen in Canada and the U.S. Teams in the JWHL are assigned to a division (East or West), based mostly on where the organizations are located (but not always). Each team plays against the other teams in its division 3 times and against the teams in the other division two times during the regular season for a 27 game regular season. Following the regular season, a playoff is held to determine the JWHL Champion.

“The JWHL has been successful at developing players because

of our commitment to our teams and athletes,” said JWHL co-founder Kush Sidhu said, With a few teams leaving the JWHL, we are able to take this opportunity to bring in three solid and proven partners who will help us execute on our mission going forward.”

Plans for the 2016-2017 including schedules and special events will be announced soon on the league website www.jwhl.org.

The Junior Women’s Hockey League (JWHL) is regarded as one of the top developmental leagues for college prospects in North America, with over 500 alumnae over the past 9 seasons going on to NCAA and CIS schools.

Centre 64 hosting George Hogg exhibition Mike Re d fern

Kimberley is privileged to be the place they call home for a considerable number of very talented visual artists. Not all of them have yet achieved the recognition they deserve, ei-

ther locally or in the wider arts community.

But many have. Among them is a born-andbred Kimberley man who has achieved international recognition for his rural landscapes and western themed

paintings, George Hogg.

50 of George Hogg’s paintings will be displayed in the Gallery at Centre 64 for the month of April this year. Kimberley Arts Council is proud to put on this solo exhibition of Hogg’s

work at the gallery, the first since his previous solo show there 12 years ago. The show will open on Tuesday, March 29, and be open for viewing each Tuesday through Saturday between 1 and 5 p.m. until Saturday,

April 23. Admission is free but donations are welcomed.

George was born in Chapman Camp and attended school in Kimberley before heading down to Vancouver to attend what is now called the Emily Carr University of Art & Design, then simply the Vancouver School of the Arts. As a painter of realism, George found himself out of step with the style favoured at the art school at that time and after a couple of years he returned to Kimberley to pursue his artistic endeavors at home. 20 years later his work was gracing the cover of Beautiful BC magazine and was widely in demand.

George Hogg has found inspiration not only in the rural landscapes among which he has lived but also in the history of the Northwest, in particular the culture and costumes of the indigenous people of the area. His oils, acrylics, and watercolours recreate the vibrant colours of nature and the vivid designs of native costume and regalia, to capture which he and his wife, Isabel, have traveled through-

The works of celebrated Kimberley artist George Hogg are in the Gallery at Centre 64 from March 29 to April 23 out the region.

Since he retired from his job with Cominco over 30 years ago, George has painted fulltime, producing over 1600 canvases and exhibiting his works in galleries in Britain, Europe and Japan as well as Canada and the United States. In 2000 he was recognized as the top Western American

Cowboy artist, receiving the John Clymen Award for his work in that field.

A reception for the George Hogg exhibition will be held on Saturday, April 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is free and the public is invited to come and admire the paintings, enjoy some refreshments, and perhaps chat with the artist.

Supreme Court to hear Ktunaxa appeal in dispute against Jumbo Tre vor Cr awley

The Ktunaxa Nation will have their day in the Supreme Court of Canada with a case that has the potential to set a precedent for worldwide implications for indigenous peoples.

Canada’s top authority announced they will hear the Ktunaxa’s appeal of a decision by the B.C. government that approved a Master Development Agreement for the proposed Jumbo glacier resort. The crux of the dispute is that the Ktunaxa Nation believes the B.C. government’s approval of the development plan violated their Charter right to freedom of religion, as the area around the proposed resort—known as Qat’muk—has significant spiritual meaning to local First Nations groups.

The United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, made by the international organization in 2007, sets out the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples, as well as their rights to culture, identity, language, employment, health, education and other issues.

Though not legally binding, the declaration was adopted with sup-

The Jumbo Glacier saga will continue at the Supreme Court. port from 144 countries, while Canada and three other nations conspicuously voted against the measure.

The result of the Supreme Court’s decision, whether in favour or against the Ktunaxa Nation, has the potential to be a precedent-setting ruling in regards to indigenous peoples’ rights to freedom of religion worldwide, said Ktunaxa Nation chair Kathryn Teneese.

“There are articles in there [UN Declaration] that make reference to the rights of indigenous peoples to their spiritual beliefs and connections to places that have a relationship to their spiritual beliefs so we are hopeful that we can get

a decision that will confirm what the United Nations declaration is already saying and also help us down the path of some of the calls to action that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission identified,” Teneese said.

“So we see this as something that is going to be educational in nature as well as setting the standard for how indigenous peoples’ spiritual beliefs are going to be taken into account as part of governments’ decision making processes.”

The dispute against the proposed Jumbo Glacier resort, which has been ongoing for nearly 30 years, has ground to a standstill as

it is going through both the courts and through various government approval processes.

Currently, the proposed project is at a standstill because an Environmental Assessment Certificate expired after the Ministry of Environment determined that the project was not substantially started last summer.

In announcing her decision, Environment Minister Mary Polak determined that the physical activities undertaken on the various components did not meet the threshold of a substantially started project.

For the project to move forward, the proponents must start from scratch in the process to

KRRG Middle Eastern Dinners big successes

Community engagement in the Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group (KRRG) got a boost from two sold-out Middle Eastern dinners last week. Altogether KRRG raised over $2,500 toward the initial $15,000 that must be in KRRG’s checking account before the actual process of welcoming new families to

Kimberley can begin. Just ahead are more opportunities to move the group closer to its initial financial goal.

First, a look at the successes on March 9 and 11, when more than 80 people gathered at The Green Door for a four-course Middle Eastern dinner plus surprises. In addition to building a stronger existing community around abundantly spread tables, guests broadened their ex-

They savored regional dishes, enjoyed the company of new friends and longtime acquaintances, and joined in the fun of a raffle for unusual prizes donated by generous local individuals and businesses.

Personally, I have reservations and I really want due process before we go ahead. At the end of the day, we want to make sure it in the best interest of the community long term.

“We need to understand the consequences of this particular

freedom of religion should not be held in less regard than that of other Canadians. We are confident that the Supreme Court of Canada will agree that Ktunaxa beliefs and practices are vital to who we are and must be taken into account by statutory decision makers. This fight is not just for the Ktunaxa, but every Canadian who values the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as an integral part of this society.”

The Supreme Court of Canada indicated that no date has been set, but legal counsel for the Ktunaxa Nation roughly estimates that the case won’t be heard until January or Febru-

According to the Ktunaxa, Qat’muk, the area around the proposed ski resort, is of significant spiritual importance, where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world.

For Ktunaxa, Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indispensable source of collective as well as individual guidance, strength, and protection, and a necessary part of many Ktunaxa spiritual practices and beliefs. Qat’muk’s spiritual importance is deeply connected to its biological significance for living grizzly bears now and in the future.

Rethink flat tax, Mayor asks From Page 1 McCormick believes so strongly that this is not the right move that he will bring the matter back to Council at the next regular meeting and ask them to reconsider. He says he spoke to all the Councillors individually and told them he would be doing so.

“Reducing the flat tax has an impact o every tax payer, and a

obtain a new EAC. However, the legal dispute isn’t connected with the substantially started issue. The Ktunaxa took the case—a charter challenge that the province infringed on their religious rights—to B.C. Supreme court in April 2014, which ruled in favour of the province. An appeal of the same case was upheld by the courts in August 2015.

Now the Ktunaxa are bringing the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada, which chooses to hear cases based on an initial hearing.

“We are pleased with today’s ruling from the Supreme Court,” said Teneese. “Our right to

issue. At this point we don’t have a full understanding of what the consequences are.”

McCormick says he has been hearing from people on the flat tax after the meeting last week, and that from a number of them it is more puzzlement than anything.

Everyone needs to understand the issue better, he says, and he will be asking Council to reconsider.

The big picture.

KRRG continues to fundraise From page 1 Tim Park plied guests with extra potent Middle Eastern coffee throughout the evening.

Kimberley residents Allan and Jill Sayegh prepared and co-hosted the two Middle Eastern feasts, with Green Door’s chef Jamie Funk enthusiastically supporting the effort in the kitchen.

They were guided by recipes Mr. Sayegh’s mother brought with her to Canada when she left the part of Syria that is now Lebanon.

In addition to tasty results from the kitchen, diners were treated to Ty Turner’s enthusiast support in the dining room along with other Green Door helpers.

Their clever decorating efforts assured a festive Middle Eastern atmosphere for the occasion.

Musicians Jay Robinson and Nathan Taron filled both evenings with music, Jay especially eye-catching as he played his tabla.

Participants were urged to increase their own involvement with KRRG, both as financial contributors and as volunteers. On Wednesday, Peggy Frederikse, KRRG’s Chair shared her enthusiasm for the endeavor and two nights later, Paula Gordon urged people to get involved.

A regular e-newsletter was announced, to keep interested people and organizations up to date on KRRG’s activities, needs and progress.

Everyone is cordially invited to add themselves to this growing e-connection by sending a simple “Please add me” with, e-address, to kimberleyrefugees@gmail. com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

racist, sabre rattling, loud mouth. There have been several incidents of protesters getting beat up at Trump rallies in recent weeks, their attackers subtly egged on by the Donald himself. He is riding an orange wave of anger and it’s getting more than a little dangerous.

I have to ask myself, how can a country of 350 million people not produce better candidates than the sorry crop being offered this year? On both sides.

We see it in the arts, in the fields of innovation and design — the United States is a country full of great minds, great thinkers. Where are they?

Why is this great country unable to produce better candidates for its highest office? Is it the money? The fact that the campaign has evolved into soul-destroying, almost three year slog through the muck that nobody but a billionaire, or one deeply beholden to billionaires, can event attempt? And the way the press attacks candidates on both sides, you also have to be incredibly thick-skinned.

Thick, orange-skinned. Enter Donald Trump.

Orange is the new red, white and blue.

Cranbrook Hornets

Salmon Arm recently hosted the AA, Bantam Provincial Hockey tournament.

Your team, the Cranbrook Hornets participated in the tournament.

I want to compliment your players, parents and coaches, on their representation of your City.

I am an Elementary School Principal.

Our school was paired with the Hornets, to make their banner and cheer them on — we did so with enthusiasm.

As a result your team, parents and coaches came to Hillcrest Elementary and visited with our students. It made our students’ day — it well could have been the Canucks there!

Your boys were polite, kind and took the time to visit with our young students.

The adults supervising should be commended.

Alan Harrison Principal, Hillcrest Elementary

Water

I’ve always loved water; to swim in, to drink, to be rained on and I am thankful for the freshness and cleanliness it provides and has always provided in my life.

Being a hiker and drinking from a glacier stream I must admit that this is my favorite water. I’ve heard people say water has no taste, but this is not the case for me.

Water most certainly has a taste, and the glacier streams are amoung the best tasting water I’ve ever tasted!

I lived in Cranbrook for only four months and could not drink the tap water because it tasted so badly. I had to filter it, yet then it tasted bland. I now live in Kimberley and will drink the tap water, but I can’t drink it after it’s been sitting for too long (about four or five hours) because then I taste the chemicals in the water so strongly that I cannot drink it.

As a naturalist, I feel water is given freely, and I would love to drink tasty water everyday! I feel this is possible if we as humans change our lifestyle to be more fruitful of what nature is providing us.

If we lay more importance on this and live it’s value I’m sure others will also feel the benefit of tasty water — and be able to taste it if they cannot already!

It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water.

Refugee Dental

Sorry Anne, but you should check your facts out before responding like this.

Please refer to the IFHP (Interim Federal Health Program). In it, you will note that refugees are covered for ‘emergency dental’.

If you read my letter, you will see, that this is exactly what I had.

In addition, the government has re-

cently announced they are increasing benefits for refugees. I’m not aware of exactly what this will entail, but I would like to bet, that it will include FULL dental coverage.

I agree with you, that these Syrian refugees have been to H___ and back before getting here and I’m very happy that we can help out.

Obviously, because of this, you think that they should have more benefits than have millions of Canadians like ourselves.

I strongly disagree and think it is a travesty.

Oh, by the way, I have now realized the reason for this, it’s Because it’s 2015!

Cannabis

Tom Fletcher missed the bull’s eye regarding cannabis (Bowing to the power of judges, Mar. 1, 2016), implying it’s an “inconsistent” herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal.

Government subsidized prohibitionists in North America have hindered research progress; however, the plant has been documented medically for over 5,000 years medically without a single death.

That’s safety and consistency on a Biblical scale.

Timber! Electrifying Nouveau Cirque

C

For the Townsman

irque Alfonse is a young circus company from Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez in Quebec, established in 2005. Its founding members have all worked with some of the most renowned “nouveau cirque” companies around the world.

This young company is a team of professional acrobats from the École nationale de cirque de Montréal, as well as a professional dancer, an ex-skiing champion and three talented and versatile musicians. This brave and creative group of young performers is blazing a creative path that no one has yet dared to explore, blending the arts and techniques of the circus and infusing them with the most picturesque facets of traditional Quebec folklore.

The story started in 2005 when the Cirque Alfonse project was created and first took shape. In 2006, the company launched its first show — La Brunante.

The show was of short duration but it served as a very successful first experience. It later became the foundation for Timber!

After La Brunante, the members of the company each pursued their own solo careers with Montreal’s Les 7 doigts de la main, the Cirque du Soleil, Cirkus Cirkör of Sweden, the Cirque Starlight of Switzerland and the Montreal dance company Bouge de là, before starting work in 2010 on their second creative project, a new show called Timber!

You can almost smell the fresh-cut pine logs and the sweat of lumberjacks as you watch them jiving to a traditional folk soundtrack. The troupe hails from a small town and they have clearly drawn upon their country roots to find inspiration and energy for this unique creative

project.

Timber!, is clearly off the beaten track.

The show’s creators designed unusual acrobatic apparatus inspired directly from the forestry resources available on their real-life family farm. The experience feels and smells authentic. The artists perform incredible feats of aerial acrobatics that are directly inspired by the natural raw materials of the forest and the equipment used on the farm.

The atmosphere is hyper-festive. The talented acrobats and musicians create a colourful, energetic scene where we can witness epic feats of agility and strength, inspired by the exploits of the first North-American lumberjacks, loggers and farmers.

“We present a show that talks about our traditions and our Quebec roots.

There really is a festive spirit in the show.” said the acrobat Rifleman Antoine Lépine, who has worked with Cirque Éloize and Les 7 doigts de la main before creating Cirque Alfonse with her sister, her step brother and father. “We also relied on traditional music, which inevitably makes us think of Quebec.”

“My sister Julie and I have evolved in the arts: in the circus, with dance in it. We decided to put on a show as a gift to our father’s 60th. We wanted to thank him for supporting us in our careers. This was one of his dreams to go on stage, we gave him that chance. Then we decided to start our own company.”

More artists have joined forces with Julie, Jonathan, acrobat Casaubon, and their good friend Guillaume Saladin. The director of the show, Alain Francoeur, had previously worked with Cirque Éloize Antoine. In short, all the artisans involved in the creation of Timber! are as close in life as on stage. Among the members of the troupe Timber! there are also musicians Josianne Laporte, André Gagné and David Baker.

“There is no narrative in the show. We are really setting the mood of the logging camp with kind of ways you could live there. We use the tools that the loggers would use. That’s how we got the idea to juggle axes. We wanted to work with raw elements.

You don’t want to miss Timber!, April 2 at Key City Theatre. Electrifying entertainment for the whole family. Tickets are $35; $29 for Big Ticket Members; $20 for Students & Children Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250-4267006 and Online at www.keycitytheatre. com

Ice season ends as Hitmen claim two more victories After disappointing final home outing, Kootenay Ice battle Calgary Hitmen hard in shootout loss Sunday afternoon

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The 2015-16 Western Hockey League season came to a disappointing end for the Kootenay Ice this past weekend as the club dropped back-toback outings to the Calgary Hitmen.

In the team’s final home game of the season, the Ice lost a 5-2 decision to the visiting Hitmen Friday night, before falling 6-5 in the shootout Sunday afternoon at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary.

“It’s extremely disappointing,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Friday’s loss. “We’ve done some decent work here lately…overall, you’re seeing some strides. To not be able to put that together one last time… We’ve had an extremely loyal, supportive fanbase all year long.

People want to talk about the numbers [attendance] and all that stuff, but to me, there are nights when they’re loud and they get into it and it sounds like there’s 5,000 people in here.

“Even people you run into on the street, they compliment that the group is still working.

[The fans] are so supportive when they have every right to be critical and negative. For us to leave that type of taste in their mouth [Friday’s loss to Calgary], for me and I know for Jeff [Chynoweth, president and general manager] especially, for everything he has built up over the years here, it’s extremely disappointing and something that unfortunately you can’t get over right away because you don’t play at home again until September.

“It’s tough to live with.”

For the first time in its history in Cranbrook, the Ice will miss the WHL post-season. The last time the franchise missed the playoffs came at the conclusion of the 1997-98 season during the club’s second and final year as the Edmonton Ice. Affiliate Tristen Nielsen and Jakob Stukel, twice, scored over the course of 3:30 in the second period to put the

Hitmen ahead for good Friday. The Hitmen also received scoring from Matteo Gennaro and Carsen Twarynski, while Nik Amundrud made 16 saves to collect his 12th victory of the campaign.

On the other side, veteran winger Zak Zborosky accounted for both goals on behalf of the Kootenay Ice, while goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 36 saves.

“From the start of the game, we weren’t prepared to play at all,” Zborosky said Friday.

“We were slow the whole time, losing battles on pucks. Over a matter of time, they took over and that’s what’s going to happen when you’re facing a good team — they’re going to capitalize.”

Gennaro cruised behind the Kootenay cage and jammed one past Hoflin at the side of the net only 11 seconds into regulation to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

After that, Zborosky — a man on a mission in search of the 30-goal plateau — changed the face of the period.

Taking a feed in the slot from Alfaro, Zborosky sent a quick zinger past Amundrud to tie the game 1-1 with 4:10 remaining in the first period. The goal was the 29th of the campaign for the Ice leading scorer.

On their next shift out, Alfaro and Zborosky got right back to work. Once again, Alfaro fed Zborosky on top of the blue paint and the 19-year-old native of Regina popped another home to give the Ice a 2-1 lead, collecting his career-high 30th goal of the season in the process. Only 1:20 had elapsed between Zborosky’s 29th and 30th goals of the season.

“I got to set [Alfaro] up for his 20th this year and for him to give me a tap-in like that for my 30th, it was awesome,” Zborosky said of hitting the 30-goal plateau. “It’s something we’ll remember.

“Not many guys that play in the league can reach that milestone.

For me to do that, I’m very proud of it.”

The second period saw a quick and painful shift of momentum for

the home team as the visiting Hitmen struck three times over 3:30.

Nielsen, the 16-yearold Hitmen affiliate, tied the game 2-2 with his first-career WHL goal 10:45 into the second period.

Stukel tallied back-toback markers to give his team a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes. Stukel’s second of the night came on the man advantage with Shane Allan serving a slashing minor. Only 1:49 separated Stukel’s first and second goals of the night, his 34th and 35th of the season.

After outshooting the hosts 12-6 in the first period, the Hitmen piled on in the second period, firing 18 shots at Hoflin, while the Ice only managed four shots on Amundrud.

Twarynski extended the lead to 5-2 midway through the third period. With on Jesse Zaharichuk back to defend, the Hitmen went in 3-on-1. Travis Sanheim fed Twarynski who easily deposited the puck into the back of the net for a shorthanded goal as Mark Kastelic served a slashing minor.

With 7:41 remaining in the third period, Alfaro had a glorious chance to get his team back in the game. After being hauled down on a breakaway, the veteran centre was awarded a penalty shot. Starting from his own blueline, Alfaro work his way to the right side before cutting back to the middle and deking Amundrud. The Hitmen goaltender sprawled out and was able to get his right pad down and across to keep Alfaro from finding payday.

Zborosky added to his eventful evening by scrapping Hitmen forward Andrew Fyten during the second period. After Zborosky laid a heavy hit in the corner, Fyten confronted him and the two went to blows. The veteran Ice forward sent Fyten to the ground in dramatic fashion, swinging the Hitmen winger into a heavy body slam.

Hoflin and Zborosky led the list of honourees as the Kootenay Ice recognized their best and brightest performers from the 2015-16 season

Hoflin was presented with the Rod Hunter Ltd. Players Award for perseverance, commitment and dedication to hockey, as voted upon by the players. Zborosky was named the Apollo Ristorante Most Valuable Player (see Tuesday’s Daily Townsman for the complete awards story and photos).

Sunday afternoon in Calgary, the Ice (12-536-1) fell by a 6-5 shootout margin to the Hitmen (42-26-2-2).

“These guys are tough to motivate right now,” Pierce said prior to Sunday’s loss. “It’s up to them, really. They’ve got to decide how they want to leave their last impression. We’ve now left this impression on our home fans, but what do want to leave with your teammates? You think of the Gretzky quote — ‘You’re only as good as your last shift.’ Well, for a lot of these guys, this might be their last shift.

“We’ll see what they’re made of. At the same time, I respect the fact it’s extremely challenging being in the situation we’re in. But you’ve got to be more mature than that, more professional than that and make sure you compete.”

The Hitmen received scoring from Travis Sanheim, Keegan Kanzig, Twarynski, Tyler Mrkonjic and Stukel,

who also registered the shootout winner Sunday afternoon. Cody Porter made 16 saves before being replaced

by Amundrud, who stopped two shots in regulation and three more in the skills competition.

Zborosky and Alfaro continued to pace the offense Sunday. Alfaro’s 21st and 22nd goals of the season were sandwiched between Zborosky’s 31st and 32nd goals of the campaign, while Shane Allan tallied his third of the sea-

son to complete a third-period comeback and force overtime.

Hoflin turned aside 34 pucks and one more in the shootout in the final outing of his WHL career as he and the Ice battled right down to the last buzzer.

Nitehawks stay alive, force Game 5 with Dynamiters Beaver Valley Nitehawks edge Kimberley Dynamiters in Game 4 to extend conference final

Jim Bailey Trail Daily Times

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks refused to go quietly in Game 4 of the Kootenay Conference final, skating to a hard fought 2-1 victory over the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday at the Hawks Nest in Fruitvale.

Following a pair of devastating losses and on the verge of elimination, the Nitehawks put together one of their best efforts of the season to force Game 5 in Kimberley on Monday.

“That’s as close to 60 minutes we’ve played in this series,” said Nitehawks coach and GM Terry Jones. “From the beginning right to the very end, we had one lapse when we gave up the goal, but generally we didn’t give up a lot tonight and that’s a good sign for us.”

Nitehawks forward Blake Sidoni tallied the winning goal on a power play at 6:55 of the middle frame. With Eric Buckley in the box for boarding, Dylan Heppler one-timed a pass from Tyler Hartman, and Sidoni redirected it over Dynamiters’ goalie Tyson Brouwer to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead.

“I was in the corner and just went to the net, came out and put it in,”

said Sidoni, a Trail native. “It was a full 60 minutes of resilience. Everyone on the team was competing; there wasn’t one guy that wasn’t working hard out there.”

Following a scoreless first period in which the Nitehawks were outshot 14-7, Beaver Valley gained momentum after killing off six straight minutes in penalties in the second half of the period. The Hawks then went on the power play after Tanner Wit was called for hooking late in the first. As the penalty carried over into the middle frame, 15 seconds after the puck drop, Dylan Heppler broke down the right side and slid the puck past Brouwer for a 1-0 lead.

The Nitehawks played tight defensive hockey, rarely giving up an odd-man rush or allowing the Nitros closein chances, and when they did, Tallon Kramer came up with timely saves throughout the game.

“I didn’t have to do near as much as the last couple ones, it was a lot nicer,” said Kramer. “But we have to do the same thing, play a full 60, we have to have tight D, and hang on.”

In Games 2 and 3, the Hawks had 2-0 and 3-2

leads late in the third before the Nitros came back to win both matches in the final minute on goals Kramer had little chance on. Saturday’s Game 4 was a character builder for a Hawks team desperate for a win.

“It’s really tough, you go home and you hang your head for hours on end, and you come back and you have to restart there’s nothing else you can do,” said Kramer.

For a moment it looked as though Kimberley might repeat the last-minute-heroics scenario for a third game in a row when Jared Marchi shot in the slot deflected past Kramer with 4:50 remaining in the third, but the Nitehawks stymied the Kimberley attack allowing the Dynamiters just six shots in the third period, and few looks in the final minutes.

“Initially you’re upset with the fact that I didn’t think we played very well tonight, but you move on you’re not going to win them all,” said Kimberley coach Jerry Bancks. “That’s a good hockey team and well coached and they played well tonight and they deserved to win.

You have to make sure you get yourself ready for the next one, and be happy you are up 3-1.”

Nitehawks goaltender Tallon Kramer keeps an eye on the play as Dynamiters forward Brodie Buhler (#24) pursues the puck during Game 2 of the Kootenay Conference final. Kramer backstopped the Nitehawks to a 2-1 victory in Game 4 of the best-of-seven series, forcing Game 5 Monday at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The Hawks had the best chances in the third when Sam Swanson forced a turnover and Kyle Hope picked up the loose puck all alone in front but wired it just over the cross bar. Minutes later, Brouwer made two great pad saves off a Swanson and Hope 2-on-1 to keep the game close. Hard work

on the fore-check and back-check, and physical and responsible zone play from the back end paid off as Kimberley had a difficult time generating any offence in the period.

“I thought we did that in Games 2 and 3 for the most part, but we just broke down,” said Jones.

“They are very good off

the rush, their D jump in the play, and if we’re not going to back check and get ourself in good position it’s tough, so we made some adjustments with that, but by and large it just comes down to competing and I think we did that tonight.”

The Nitehawks travel to Kimberley for Game 5 on Monday at 7 p.m. A

Hawks win will bring Game 6 to the Hawks Nest on Tuesday with a 7 p.m. puck drop.

Game 5 of the Kootenay Conference final is slated for Monday at 7 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre, where the Dynamiters will look to punch a ticket to the KIJHL championship on home ice.

Gonzaga advances to Sweet 16 Eddie Pells Associated Press

DENVER - Leave the buzzer-beaters and heart-stoppers to the other guys.

For Gonzaga, these are the March Mismatches.

The Bulldogs, looking like something much different than an 11 seed, rolled over No. 3 Utah on Saturday, 82-59 behind 22 points from Eric McClellan and a 19-point, 10-rebound effort from Domantas Sabonis.

This was a wire-towire effort even more impressive than their 16-point win over Seton Hall in the first round.

“We played as good as probably we’ve played all year, on what is the biggest stage,” coach Mark Few said.

Next up for the Zags (28-7), a game against Syracuse or Middle Tennessee in the Midwest Regional.

Kyle Wiltjer had 17 for Gonzaga. He went 3 for 4 from 3-point range, all in the first half, to help the Bulldogs jump to a quick double-digit lead.

This game was billed as a battle of big guys, between the 6-foot-11 Sabonis and Utah’s 7-footer, Jakob Poeltl.

That fizzled. Poeltl finished with five points and four rebounds. He got in foul trouble early - drawing his first when Sabonis spun to the baseline and left Poeltl grabbing to prevent the dunk.

“He’s an incredible player,” Poeltl said. “He made some really good plays today. It’s his ver-

satility that makes him so tough to guard.”

On Utah’s first possession of the second half, Poeltl posted up and tried the hook. Sabonis redirected it and the ball never got to the glass. The son of former NBA star Arvydas Sabonis recorded his 22nd double-double of the season.

“He’s a really, really aggressive and tough, tough kid,” Few said. “If you haven’t faced him or felt him - you know, live - I think there’s an adjustment period.”

A few minutes after Sabonis denied Poeltl, McClellan converted a steal by Kyle Dranginis into a layup and a threepoint play to push Gonzaga’s lead to 20.

From there, this was a pick-your-score runaway

- the only drama involving when Few would give his eight-man rotation a break and let some of the walk-ons and others get a piece of the action. For the record, that came with 1:39 left, and by then, Gonzaga fans were booking their tickets to Chicago for next Friday’s game.

Utah (27-9) walked off wondering what happened and if that was an 11-seed they’d played.

“I know Gonzaga’s a really good team. I would never put a number on them,” Utes coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re in the Final Four.”

It’s Gonzaga’s second straight Sweet 16 appearance, though not many people saw it coming.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You like to keep an open mind, but you might want to avoid a person who often takes you on a wild goose chase. This individual is close to you, which could make you feel obligated to listen to what he or she has to share. Tonight: Know when to let yourself do what you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ideals remain high, but make sure a friend is not padding an achievement just to make it more acceptable for your standards. You might want to slow down some and visit a friend. A discussion could arise that highlights your desires.

Tonight: Let your hair down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be smiling, but you could feel constricted on some level. The pull between your personal and professional life could need an evaluation.

Where do you feel the tension most? What do you feel is expected of you? Tonight: Open up a conversation. Share more.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You often share your thoughts, but what many people don’t seem to get is that you also are likely to change your opinion. With you, nothing is really written in stone. Opportunities come up that could affect you and your community. Be open.

Tonight: All eyes turn to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel someone else’s energy and decide to join him or her. Avoid taking any risks that could negatively affect your finances. Recognize your limitations, but also be willing to revitalize your schedule and make it more workable. Tonight: Do some spring shopping.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not realize how alluring you are to another person. What you feel is a direct reflection of your own judgment about yourself. You don’t always have the control you might desire. Tonight: Help someone else to feel less shy. You know how; you have been there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel challenged.

Tundra

250-919-6530

Stress from recent events seems to be taking its toll. A friend could open up. You might be surprised by what you hear.

Your emotions are likely to overwhelm you, but you’ll choose to keep them to yourself. Tonight: Take some personal time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others would fret if they found themselves in the same circumstances as you. Your creativity and resilience mark your choices. Once more, these qualities emerge to create smooth sailing in rough waters. Tonight: Speak in different terms to someone who does not “get it.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel pressured by someone you look up to. You can’t always evoke the response you desire. Recognize that you might not be getting the whole story from someone you care about. Try being a little more of a cynic. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s imaginative ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance. You seem to be quite tired, but you’re full of ques-

tions. Talk to someone who knows more about this particular topic than you do. You might want to touch base with a friend who has similar knowledge. Tonight: Detach from your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you would prefer to have a closer association with will reach out to you. You won’t need to say a lot; just do a good job of listening. Asking questions might be more important than you realize. Tonight: With a favorite person at a favorite place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not see eye to eye with someone, but you still will need to make peace with him or her. Look at what is alike in your thinking. Give this person the benefit of the doubt. Think before you hand out any cash.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation only if you like it.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been dating “Brad” for three years. We currently date longdistance, but the relationship is fine. He is loving and kind toward me and everyone in our lives. When he proposed, I said yes immediately. But what is supposed to be an exciting time in my life is now marred by his ex-girlfriend, “Marsha.”

I knew Marsha when she and Brad dated 10 years ago. For some reason, she disliked me, even treating me rudely when she and Brad were invited to parties at my place with my then-boyfriend. Brad confided that Marsha didn’t like any of the women he was friends with, saying they were “petty.”

Marsha is now married, but she and Brad have remained friends. The three of them have even vacationed together. I’ve never objected to their friendship, but I’ve also never found a reason to befriend her, nor has she reached out to me.

Brad has reiterated Marsha’s old accusation of my being “petty” because I am resistant to initiating a friendship.

He says that Marsha doesn’t remember how rudely she treated me and insists she be invited to our wedding. I disagree. I envision my wedding filled with people who love me. Since I’m paying for half, I should have a say about the guest list. Brad even told me to get counseling in order to find the “real reason” I dislike her. He intimated that I had deep-seated problems and that Marsha was the innocent party.

I’m beginning to think wedding bells are not on our horizon. Please help. -- To Wed or Not to Wed Dear Wed: There are several things going on here. If you are splitting the costs of the wedding, Brad gets to invite Marsha and her husband. You were wrong to turn that into an ultimatum. It made you seem ungenerous and forced Brad to defend his ex. The way Marsha behaved 10 years ago is old news. She was probably jealous of any women around Brad. You need to stop holding that grudge. People can change, and you won’t know if you exclude her. But we also wonder why Brad is so attached to Marsha and demands that you make friends with her. There is no reason for that except that he anticipates including Marsha and her husband in your social life on an ongoing basis. Frankly, if this argument is enough for you to stop the wedding, we think it might be for the best.

Dear Annie: I appreciated your answer to “Confused and Torn” about her dog.

I have loved and cherished a number of animals in my life. It is always hard to let them go, so I ask myself, “Am I prolonging her life or prolonging her death?” And, “Am I keeping her alive for myself or for her?”

The way I see it, the animal does not understand why it suffers. I will clearly understand the loss and take that pain upon myself to keep the animal from suffering more. It is simply the price to pay for all the love and companionship the animal has given me over the years, and is the last and most important thing we can do. -- S. Dear S.: Thank you for taking a different perspective on such a difficult time.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 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.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

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.
