RCMP seize explosives and firearms from stolen vehicle Driver stops at Tim Hortons in Creston, hitchhikers steal vehicle TOWNSMAN STAFF

Drugs, Firearms and Stolen Vehicles were on the radar for Cranbrook RCMP Monday morning.

Cranbrook RCMP reported that a vehicle was stolen from the Tim Horton’s in Creston on Sunday morning.

The owner of the truck had picked up two female hitchhikers from the Lower Mainland and was on his way to Newfoundland when he stopped at Timmie’s. As he went inside the women drove away in his truck.

On Monday morning the Cranbrook RCMP Police Dog Service team located the stolen truck, along with a second suspected stolen vehicle near Moyie Lake on Hwy 3/95. Two women and a man were immediately arrested. Two vehicles were seized and searched.

The 29-year-old man from the Lower Mainland had homemade explosives and a loaded prohibited firearm within reach of the driver. The two women, aged 19 and 24 and also from the Lower Mainland, were in possession of a substantial amount of money and what is suspected to be crystal meth and marijuana.

The two women also have outstanding warrants from the Lower Mainland for Careless Use of a Firearm, Possess Firearm without license and Possession of Stolen Property.

All three individuals were to make appearances before the courts Tuesday.

Grow Your Own Mushrooms with Kootenai Fungi Cranbrook and Kimberley BC - Cranbrook Food Action Committee and Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook have teamed up to bring you ‘A Mushroom Workshop’, everything you need to know about growing your own. On April 12th in Kimberley and April 14th in Cranbrook, Lija and Monte of Kootenai Fungi will introduce participants to the fascinating world of growing mushrooms.

Over the past year Lija and Monte have been growing mushrooms on their urban mushroom farm in Kimberley.

With delicious success, Kootenai Fungi has been selling at farmers markets, local stores and restaurants as well as providing mushroom

spawn, cultures, grow kits to interested individuals.

Topics to be covered during these 2hr workshops will include mushroom life cycle, starting cultures, inoculation techniques and various growing methods suitable for home growers. The workshops are comprised of technique demonstrations as well as hands on demos. All participants will go home ready to start growing their own mushrooms.

Types of mushrooms that we will be growing include oyster, reishi, garden giants and shaggy manes.

Why grow your own mushrooms? They are fat-free, low in calories, and filled with vita-

mins, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Mushrooms contain compounds that have been linked to lowering the risk of a range of cancers. Eating mushrooms has a cholesterol-lowering effect and promotes a healthy immune system.

The Kimberley and Cranbrook workshop has filled up to capacity, however an overflow list has been started. To express your interest in another session please visit www.wildsight.ca/ mushrooms, or call 250-427-9325 ext. 221.

Email cranbrookfood@ gmail.com for more info and visit www. facebook.com/kootenaifungi to learn more about Kootenai Fungi.

As a non-profit soci-

ety this workshop has been made possible with the help of outside sources, largely the Real Estate Foundation of BC. Get to know the wonderful world of mushrooms

Foundation assists those in Cranbrook and Philippines BARRY COULTER Townsman Staff

Fourteen years after her untimely death, Riza Loren Roxas Butalid lives on, in a new foundation dedicated in her name to helping people in both Cranbrook and the Philippines.

The Riza Loren Roxas Butalid Foundation was actually started by her friends, who started to raise money in her memory after she was hit by a car, at age 14, in front of her school in the United Arab Emirates, where her family was working at the time.

The Butalid family, who have lived in Cranbrook since 2008 and become active members of the community, and grown and evolved the foundation so that it can now offer bursaries at the College of the Rockies and at Mount Baker

Secondary School.

Education has always been of prime importance to Lourdes and Butch Butalid, and their three other children.

“The Lord may have taken her away from us,” Lourdes said. “But he has also given us the opportunity to be parents to many.

“Our goal is to be able to offer scholarships to poor and deserving students to the College of the Rockies and Mount Baker Secondary School in Canada as well as at the University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Philippines.”

It has also raised money for the building of 21 houses through Gawad Kalinga in Mindanao, Philippines. And the Loren Foundation will continue this project in partnership with ANCOP (ANswering the Cry Of the Poor), an in-

The company, which manufactures precast concrete products, made first use of their new Shuttlelift mobile gantry by testing it out on a Caterpillar bulldozer that weighed 80,000, or 36 metric tones.

Locally, the foundation is accepting donations to put the COTR and high school bursaries in place.

“We will start small, but it will grow,” Lourdes said.

A board with a slate of directors is in place to oversee the foundation, and a bank account has been set up to receive donations see below).

The accident that claimed Loren happened just as the Butalid family was applying to move to Canada — Loren’s name was in fact on the family’s application. Lourdes said it was heartbreaking having to resubmit the application with her name removed.

The Foundation is also organizing a “Christmas in June” to around 650 children in that area.

“We are collecting new/old stuff toys to be given to these children at Dakit Elementary

“Most of these children may not know what a stuff toy is, or it will be their first time to have one.”

Lourdes added that many donations of stuffies have already come in for the occasion.

Something to be said for predictable Dummies were flying at Kimberley Alpine Resort for the Dummy Downhill this past weekend, and interestingly, three of them evoked the name of Donald Trump.

All three crashed. But then so did all the other dummies, so that’s not really going to work as a metaphor.

In another dummy contest of note, that being the U.S. Presidential primaries, the landscape is shifting ever so slightly. It’s becoming apparent that Ted Cruz will win the Wisconsin primary, handing a substantial loss to The Donald. But before we get into too much of a party mood, let’s consider the craziness, er… cruziness of Ted Cruz. Some are seeing him as their saviour from President Trump, and he could be that, though to this point he has half the delegate numbers that Trump has amassed. But this may be a real case of be careful what you wish for.

Because Cruz, though he dials back the outlandish, polarizing opinions that Trump offers, has his own brand of politics that is every bit as scary. Plus he looks like Herman Munster, as many have noted.

But we are not so shallow as to let looks sway our electoral choices are we? Cough-Justin Trudeau--cough.

In any event, Cruz is number two, so let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Cruz has said, “I’m a Christian first, an American second.” Actually he was a Ca-

nadian first, being born in Alberta, but we’ll let the good ol’ U.S. of A. have him.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with following Christian values, but Cruz has indicated many times that he wants to go a lot further than that.

He has said he will govern with a bible in Carolyn his hand.

Grant And his particular brand of Christianity is not inclusive and forgiving but vengeful and exclusive. He is considered by many to be anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Muslim. Now granted, those opinions are from the more left-leaning sorts, but Cruz is none too popular with his fellow Republicans either. He led the charge on the government shutdowns in recent years, which left many in Congress facing angry voters. He has been referred to as the most hated man in the Senate. So we’ll see if Republicans can hold their noses and vote for Cruz. That is, of course, if any of the diabolical plots to somehow stop Trump actually work.

Another plot that is being bandied about but heartily denied, while blushing like a debutante at the ball, by the principle, is the move to somehow get Paul Ryan

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

into the convention as a wild card. Ryan is the current Speaker of the House, and was the Vice Presidential candidate on Mitt Romney’s ticket. Republicans love him.

Democrats say he has the same policies as Cruz, just in deeper disguise. And it still all depends on Donald Trump being shy of delegates come convention time in August.

By the way, did you know that Trump supporters started a petition asking that they be allowed to carry weapons at the Republican National Convention? Their claim is that without guns at the convention, they are all “sitting ducks”, vulnerable to whatever crazy might want to bring them down. But I don’t think they need to worry about random crazies. They’ll all be at the convention.

An armed political convention to end the most, divisive, angry election campaign in U.S. history. What could possibly go wrong? BTW, the Secret Service said absolutely not. Just another example of the man trying to control your life.

Meanwhile in Canada, Premier Brad Wall won the Saskatchewan election with almost the same results as last time. How predictable! How boring! Aren’t you glad you live in Canada?

What’s Up?

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

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

1906 Prisoners on strike …

Mayor Rogers stated that there had been a strike of the prisoners at the city jail on the fare served, for which the city was paying only 50 cents a day per man. The matter was referred to the fire and police committee to advertise for bids.

Under arrest … A piano agent was arrested in Cranbrook this week for selling without a license and fined $5 and costs and told to secure a license.

Too many … Those dog tags cannot come too soon. The mongrels are getting too thick around town to be comfortable.

Will shoot first … Bob Shaw, of the Geary livery barn, objects to the report that he is running a lodging house. The other morning when he went to the barn, two stalls were packed with men who had failed to register, but who did not forget to take the stable’s best blankets and robes for clothing. Bob says that he has a gun loaded with some samples of quartz which he borrowed from Harry Milton, and that he will give the next contingent of lodgers a warm welcome.

Obscene post cards … Constable Morris has received word from Superintendent of Police, F. S. Hussey, to look out for anyone who mails obscene postal cards or any of a suggestive character, or anyone who sells cards of this character.

Long trip for boy … Leonard Nictor Cond, a bright looking little chap hardly thirteen years of age, arrived a week ago in Cranbrook, after making the long trip from Birmingham, Eng., alone, to live with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomew, who have a ranch near Marysville. A representative of the Herald saw the little fellow this morning and was wonderfully impressed with his brightness and self-possession, He told the story of the trip in a clear manner. He came over on the Lake Manitoba, and was twelve days and a half on board. “I was sea sick only five minutes. Wasn’t that pretty good? We had trouble only once on the voyage. A big fish got into the screw of the ship. That made trouble. We landed at St. John. Everybody was good to me. I had no trouble. I had to stay over at Medicine Hat a day. The trains didn’t meet. I saw a lot of things. I am going to live with my uncle and aunt on the ranch. I guess I will like this country,” and then the new Canadian gathered up the reins of the team preparatory to driving

Basketball at Moyie … On Tuesday evening a large number of Basketball enthusiasts went down to Moyie to try conclusions with a team from that place. About 9 o’clock the game was called by Referee J. P. Westman, who soon found he had accepted a difficult occupation for one hour. The game started with a rush and the spectators had to watch closely to see the ball. A few quick passes were made and DeBeck found the basket. Another score was made on a foul, and then the work begins in earnest. Quick passes follow and Davis gives the ball a neat toss over the left shoulder and scores. Now Moyie wakes up and soon scores twice, the score is now 4 to 5 in favor of Cranbrook and interest increases. A few fouls are called and the referee is threatened by some of Moyie stalwarts but to no avail, and if he erred in the game it might be said he was too lenient as a few should have been put off for what is commonly called “beefing”. However he succeeded in holding the game down and DeBeck secures the ball and makes it 7 to 4, then another foul makes it 8. One half minute remains in the first half and Moyie does the trick by finding the basket and thus it ends 8 to 6 for Cranbrook.

During the second half the interest was high and the audience enthusiastic. The ball frequently changing hands and the work is excellent; the audience feels they are paid for their trouble of coming. The scores run up and at the close stands 12 to 10 in favor of Moyie the last goal being made a minute before the whistle blew.

Fort Steele fire … The Royal Hotel at Fort Steele Junction was burnt to the ground in the early hours of Sunday morning last. The cause of the fire is unknown, the inmates barely escaping with their lives. A. Mc-

Cool, part owner and manager, did not save any of his personal effects, escaping with only the clothes he now wears. Mr. Smith the hotel clerk lost his personal belongings and $65 in cash which was in his pants pocket. Every inmate was in bed when the alarm was given by a man named Connolly who was sleeping downstairs. Mr. McCool only saved his cash register and books. His partners are Ross Bros of Fernie.

The building and furniture was insured for $1,500 with $500 on the stock.

Good fishing … Several large catches of trout were made by local fishermen during the past week. Lester Clapp and Wm. Lamb brought in 180 fine fish from Fish Lakes, and a second party who fished in the same lake on Tuesday caught 160.

Things look promising … It is a matter of great satisfaction to the Conservatives of the province to see the way in which the various sections of the party are quietly and harmoniously gathering together under the McBride banner.

There is no dissension or discord and all are determined to work together for the success of the party at the polls.

1907 Explosions in Chinatown … Sunday night just as a good many citizens were retiring, or had retired, for a peaceful rest on a feather bed, loud explosions were heard and a tremendous bom bom of powder that fairly shook the walls of a good many houses, and also scared the C. P. R. night staff to work. By many it was thought that the much talked of comet, that was to appear about April first, had shaken hands with one of the planets, with the result that it fell to the earth and was demolishing beautiful Cranbrook. Mort Billings, editor of the Herald, who was returning from church, heard the re-echoes through the air. and believing that it was the Jap army trying to capture Canada, ran to the Herald office, grabbed the lever of the Gordon press, prepared at a mo-

ment’s notice to “turn’er” loose on the enemy. Billy Rollins, who was reading the family bible that was sent to him from Lucan, Ontario, got so rattled that he ran to the bar and in a fit of absent-mindedness took a drink of water. Dunk Maclean, who sees that no one steals Cranbrook during the night, picked up a hard-boiled egg and a bale of hay, and shrieked, “Now bring on your battalions.” Women were seen running around with hat pins in their hands, and old sinners were seen to bend their knees for the first time. It was at last found out, before the town was deserted, what caused these untimely explosions. It was only Wong Fong, the local Chinese merchant, paying his annual tribute to his god, and a Chinaman with the dough usually sets off a ton or two of fire-crackers, sky rockets and bombs on that occasion. A Chinese god can be any old thing: A baby carriage, a doll, ham and eggs, an image of some sort, a box car, or even a Liberal newspaper — but no, who ever heard of any one worshipping a Liberal paper? We do not know what the Chinks worship here; but they certainly turned Chinatown loose last Sunday night.

Easter bonnets … Although last Sunday was disagreeable, the fair sex of Cranbrook promenaded the public thoroughfares and displayed their costly and pretty Easter bonnets; and we will state here, to the credit of the ladies, not one of the bonnets bore the trade mark of Tim Eaton, having been purchased in local millinery stores.

Oh oh … Cranbrook is at present enjoying many of the privileges of a growing city.

While the city council is fighting on the question of the suppression of gambling and the exit of tinhorns and parasites, the justice shops are having their share of city privileges. On Wednesday, a colored woman from the red light district of Kimberley, who was on trial, made a savage attack on the prosecuting witness and constables.

Rookie Ice coach intent on applying lessons

Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce learned plenty in first season as WHL bench boss, now focused on building, progressing Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

When Luke Pierce took on the task of guiding a rebuilding Kootenay Ice squad, he brought along a reputation that long preceded him from his days with the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League.

For six years in the B.C. Interior, the Merritt native found a way, season after season, to get every drop of talent and work ethic out of teams often labelled as short on skill and not expected to compete with the heavyweights of the Interior Division, like the Penticton Vees and Vernon Vipers.

Yet, for six straight seasons Pierce led his Centennials to the post-season.

With the Ice facing life without NHL-drafted junior stars Sam Reinhart, Tim Bozon, Rinat Valiev and a host of other well-established veterans, which eventually included the likes of the goal-scoring Jaedon Descheneau, heavy-hitting Tanner Faith, twoway beast Jon Martin and heart-and-soul Luke Philp, there’s absolutely no question the 2015-16 Kootenay Ice were going to be a bit shorter on elite ability than many had become accustomed to seeing.

And so despite moving from a Junior A bench in the B.C. Interior to a Western Hockey

League bench in the East Kootenay, the rookie shot-caller was faced with a very similar challenge — bring together a young, inexperienced group without a great deal of depth.

“What I want is to play a much better team game,” Pierce said from behind his desk, deep in the depths of Western Financial Place, days after having sent his charges home with marching orders for the off-season, leaving the usually echoing halls with nothing to hear but silence. “We all know there are going to be huge expectations on Matt [Alfaro] and Zak [Zborosky] to lead us offensively, especially, but we need more contributions in other areas of the game. We need more physicality, we need more sacrifice. We need better defensive hockey.

“You need guys to embrace different roles on your team and we need to emphasize those guys and cite their importance, night in and night out.”

At too many times over the course of the 2015-16 season, there weren’t enough contributions in other areas of the game. There wasn’t enough physicality, there wasn’t enough sacrifice and there were certainly serious lapses in the defensive zone.

So with a 12-53-6-1 campaign in the books and having seen a celebrated franchise miss the WHL playoff bracket

for the first time since 1997-98, Pierce reflects on his rookie year as a WHL head coach.

“Unless you’ve been an assistant coach in this league for several years and experienced what it’s like, day in and day out, I don’t think you can ever be prepared for what it is,” Pierce said. “I took the job in June…and that doesn’t leave you a lot of time to prepare. Even if you take over in April, I don’t think you can fully prepare for what it is.”

And so with that in mind, Pierce took every opportunity he had to seek out advice from veteran Western League coaches over the course of the 2015-16 season.

The best — and perhaps simplest — slice of wisdom came from none other than the storied and established Kelly McCrimmon, head coach and general manager of the Brandon Wheat Kings.

“As far as dealing with players, the best piece of advice probably [came] from Kelly McCrimmon, who has been in it a long time, obviously,” Pierce said.

“It was just how important the little things are with a team like ours, which he had. He went through nine-win type seasons and he talked about the little things — shift length, face-offs, shot blocks. There’s nothing new-age about it, but it’s just reminding yourself how important

Taylor Rocca Photo

While much focus was on the learning experiences of young players this past season, rookie head coach Luke Pierce (above) had plenty to learn in his first campaign behind the bench of the Kootenay Ice. the basics are.”

From there, Pierce realized there was a significant disconnect be-

tween his coaching staff and their group of inexperienced soldiers.

When a sports team undergoes a change in coaching, it’s easy to focus in on how systems and game play might be impacted. Fans and

pundits are quick to watch how player roles might shift or alter.

But what can so easily be forgotten is the weight of mass culture shock when a new coach brings a completely new approach to every aspect of the game. Whether on the ice in practice and games or off-ice in the dressing room and video sessions, a change in coaching staff calls for much greater adjustment than many realize.

Sometimes that’s a connection even a coach can’t dial in at first and there’s no question Pierce brought a drastically different approach from that of longtime taskmaster

Ryan McGill, who mutually parted ways with the team at the expiration of his contract following the 2014-15 WHL season.

“I think early on in the year we didn’t do a good enough job of reinforcing just how we wanted to play,” Pierce said. “We gave guys, veteran guys, probably too much leeway playing in old habits. We have to all be on the same page on day one. They have to give themselves up to coaching.

“It’s hard to convey the message to the players, because they choose whether or not they want to believe in you. But it’s just them opening themselves up to being

coached. Even if your plan is a bad plan, if they execute it properly, it will still have success. We tried to continue to always bring that message back to just follow the plan, follow the plan, follow the plan.”

As the season wore on the players became more open to coaching.

Pierce will tell you that and every fan in every seat at Western Financial Place was witness to a group seemingly more dedicated to following the plan.

Americans edge Canadians for women’s world hockey glory late Monday Donna Spencer Canadian Press

KAMLOOPS, B.C. Alex Carpenter scored the golden goal in overtime as the United States downed Canada 1-0 in the women’s world hockey championship final Monday.

The daughter of former NHL player Bobby Carpenter struck at 12:30 in extra time to dash the host country’s hopes of reclaiming gold on home ice in Kamloops, B.C. The U.S. went undefeated en route to their third straight world championship gold and

extended their win streak in the tournament to 14 consecutive games dating back to 2013.

The U.S. and Canada have met in every final of the 17 women’s world championship to date.

Canada won the first eight, but the balance of power has swung south of the border with their archrivals now taking seven of the last nine.

In contrast to last year’s 7-5 finale won by the U.S. in Malmo, Sweden, the gold-medal game at the Sandman Centre was a goaltending showcase.

E m e r a n c e Maschmeyer of Bruderheim, Alta., made 34 saves in her first start in a world championship final. The 21-year-old dressed for two games but did not play in Malmo last year.

Alex Rigsby, who had more big-game experience, posted a 33-save shutout. She was the finisher of last year’s final playing just over a period in relief of Jessie Vetter.

Canada outshot the U.S. 25-23 over three periods, but were outshot 9-4 in the third and 12-8 in overtime. The Cana-

dians didn’t capitalize on a pair of power-play chances in overtime and went 0 for 6 with the man advantage overall.

Carpenter scored shortly after time expired on a U.S. four-onthree. She got her stick behind a sprawling Maschmeyer to bat the puck in during a goalmouth scramble.

Rigsby’s spectacular pad save on a deking Laura Fortino and Maschmeyer stoning Carpenter on a short-handed breakaway had the sellout of 5,850 buzzing in the sec-

ond, as did Halli Krzyzaniak’s well-timed block on a U.S. odd-man rush late in the period.

The Americans beat Canada on home ice for gold for the second time in the last three world championships. The U.S. prevailed 3-2 in the 2013 final in Ottawa. A dozen players from that squad played for their country again in Kamloops.

Canada may be the reigning Olympic champions having beaten the U.S. in a 3-2 overtime thriller in 2014, but the U.S. is winning more world championship

skirmishes between Winter Games, and performing on demand more consistently.

Hilary Knight, widely considered the best power forward in women’s hockey, and Meghan Duggan have played in all seven of those finals. Coached by former NHL defenceman Ken Klee for a second year, the U.S. outscored their opponents 23-2 in the tournament.

The Americans were the more rested team in Monday’s final having cruised to a 9-0 win over Russia in Sunday after-

noon’s semifinal. Canada burned more fuel getting by Finland 5-3 with its evening semifinal.

Each country’s roster consisted mostly of players from rival leagues. The Americans had 10 players from the new U.S.-based NWHL, while 18 Canadians spent this season in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League.

Russia downed Finland 1-0 in shootout for the bronze medal.

The East Kootenay Volleyball Club’s (EKVC) 18U girls squad has returned home after having met team goals at Volleyball Alberta’s U17 & 18U Women’s Premier Tournament in Calgary

on April 3.

Ranked 16th in the province heading into the weekend’s action, the girls far exceeded their target, which was to ascend into the province’s top-12 ranks prior to the provincial championships slated for

April 23.

After winning pool play, the EKVC girls set out to strike for victory in at least one set of a crossover game against the fourth-ranked team in the province — Panthers 17U. EKVC had faced the

Panthers on numerous occasions in the past, unable to overcome the top-five club.

But this time around EKVC was triumphant, defeating the Panthers in three sets to claim seventh place in the tournament.

Canada beats Russia, remains undefeated at men’s curling world championship C ANADIAN PRESS

BASEL, Switzerland Canada downed Russia 7-2 in Tuesday’s evening draw to remain unbeaten at the men’s world curling championship.

Canada opened the game with a first-end deuce and never looked back, scoring back-toback singles in the third and fourth ends, and then put away the win with an emphatic three in the eighth to bring on

the handshakes.

With comfortable wins in four straight draws, including a 6-3 win over Germany Tuesday morning, skip Kevin Koe and his Calgary team improved to 7-0 in the round-robin portion of the tournament.

Canada has four games remaining in the round-robin schedule, including matches against reigning world champ Niklas Edin of

Sweden on Wednesday, and 2014 world champ Thomas Ulsrud of Norway on Thursday.

“We’re not looking anywhere past our next game,” said Canada second Brent Laing. “We played another really good game tonight on tough ice conditions with a lot of frost. Draw weight was tough. Luckily I didn’t have to throw one because it didn’t look like fun. But we have back-to-back

games tomorrow, and that’s always a tough grind, and that’s where our focus is.”

Canada is alone in the lead in the 12-team round-robin standings, while the Norwegians are close behind at 6-1.

John Shuster of the United States is alone in third at 5-2.

Sweden, Denmark and Japan are at 4-3 and Switzerland and Finland are hanging on at 3-4.

Americans claim women’s world hockey gold in overtime Finnish goaltender Meeri Raisanen, defencemen Monique Lamoureux of the U.S. and Jenni Hiirikoski of Finland and forwards Hilary Knight of the U.S., Rebecca Johnston from Canada and Christine Hueni of Switzerland were named to the tournament all-star team.

Knight was voted the

Continued from page 8 tournament’s most valuable player by the media.

The International Ice Hockey Federation directorate chose Maschmeyer as the tournament’s top goalie, Hiirikoski best defender and Knight top forward.

The U.S. is the host of next year’s world championship in Plymouth, Mich. Hockey Canada is

expected to announce the players invited to try out for the 2018 Olympic team soon shortly after that tournament.

Sweden finished fifth, the Czech Republic sixth and Olympic bronze medallist Switzerland seventh in the tournament. Japan was relegated to the ‘B’ world championships

with Germany earning promotion to Plymouth.

The U.S., Canada, Finland, Russia and Sweden have qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics with South Korea joining the field as the host country. The remaining two countries will be determined in qualifying tournaments in 2017.

From a 2-0 full team-effort shutout of the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Feb. 6 to an electrifying 2-0 blanking of the Edmonton Oil Kings on March 15, there were visible strides made by a young group that didn’t tack up many wins, but did an admirable job when they triumphed.

Though the season ended in a 6-5 shootout defeat at the hands of the Calgary Hitmen on March 20, the Ice erased a 5-2 deficit in the third period to force overtime in a game that otherwise would have remained unquestioned should the team have chosen to pack it in.

What took place in those contests, just to pinpoint a few highlights, is a sample of the building blocks Pierce is hoping will provide a strong foundation to help get his squad off to a better start when his sophomore campaign rolls around this fall.

“There’s such little practice time over the course of the year that it’s really difficult to make major adjustments or even reinforce your basics,” Pierce said. “To me, having the skeleton outline of how we want to play already all in place when they get here prepared for them in video and packages on system structure [is critical].”

After having 10 firstyear WHL players this season, Pierce will be faced with yet another young and relatively inexperienced crew in 2016-17, with Alfaro and Zborosky the only returning 20-year-olds.

In the face of what will continue to be an uphill battle as this franchise works through its first significant rebuild since landing in Cranbrook, Pierce’s players maintain they fully expect to be able to battle their way back into the playoff race in 2016-17.

Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, knew fully that even his young coaching staff was CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELL

“We have to all be on the same page on day one. [Players] have to give themselves up to coaching... Even if your plan is a bad plan, if they execute it properly, it will still have success... Just follow the plan, follow the plan, follow the plan.”

Luke Pierce Head Coach Kootenay Ice set to battle through a learning curve, much like his inexperienced squad did this season.

But he also knows that despite slugging through one of the most challenging years in franchise history, those involved will be all the better as a result of surviving the adversity.

“I’m looking forward — everyone is going to be a year older and a year smarter,” Chynoweth said. “Our coaches — now they aren’t rookies anymore.

They know what the Western Hockey League is about. They know how good the coaches are. They know how good the players are.

The travel, the preparation — everything was new for them as well.

“Next year, everyone knows what to expect…

I expect improvements in all areas.”

Though the season is over and the players have gone home, Pierce and his players are left with plenty of time to digest the experience of CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELL

the past campaign and process it in preparation for what comes next.

Ask anyone around the Kootenay Ice dressing room — what comes next season is the goal and expectation to fight for a playoff spot right down to the bitter end.

“Some things definitely exceeded what my expectation would have been, things like travel, how busy the schedule is and how exhausting that can be,” Pierce said.

“Other things didn’t exceed my expectations. I maybe overestimated the mentality and maturity of our players. Really, that was a silly mistake on my part because they’re the same age and younger as the teams I’ve been working with for years past. But you just have this psychological belief that because they’re Western Hockey Leaguers, they’re going to have a different type of approach to the game.

“There was a lot of little things that we overlooked — game play, as far as how important your starts are, how important shifts after goals are, last minutes, discipline — those types of things that you really think should just be engrained in those guys and they’re not.

“That’s on us. That’s not their fault. They’re all young guys that come out of minor hockey learning the same stuff.

“Now that we know that stuff, I think we’ll be in a much better position next year to get started.”

So with greater knowledge at his disposal, committed dedication to the plan from his players and allaround growth in terms of experience, Pierce and the Kootenay Ice head into the off-season with only one thing in mind: return to the playoff race in 2016-17.

With a strong coaching track record in place, it isn’t a question of whether or not Pierce will strike success in the Western Hockey League, only a matter of when.

Sneaking into the Pacwest provincial championship with the sixth seed, the Women’s Avalanche volleyball team picked the right time to heat up. Dispatching the first two teams from Camosun College and Capilano University put them into the gold medal match, where they stormed from behind to win two sets and the tie-breaker to capture the provincial title.

It was the first-ever gold medal for the women’s volleyball program at the College of

the Rockies and only their second appearance in post-season action.

Following the win at provincials, the team flew out to PEI to compete in the national championship, hosted by Holland College in Charlottetown. The team accumulated a 1-2 record, finishing in seventh place.

The team, coached by John Swanson, was led offensively by Kelsey Thompson with 284 kills, while Alexa Koshman played a huge defensive role with 368 digs.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware that you could miss a great opportunity because of your actions. You might want to change how you approach certain situations. Don’t force someone to agree with you. The more open you remain open, the better off you will be. Tonight: In the limelight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Please note what is going on behind the scenes. You might not feel as if you are in sync with others. Be more forthright about what you are feeling, and listen carefully to the response you receive. See what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes. Tonight: Get some R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will go for what you want.

A loved one could try to make peace after being really difficult.

Accept the gesture, but demand some profound changes. You are likely to get exactly what you want. A meeting allows you to ask for more support. Tonight: Share with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Accept your spot in the limelight. You will have an easier time handling a problem or a power play around you. You might choose not to play, and could head in a different direction. Understand that you can’t change anyone but yourself.

Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. You might wonder what has happened. Do you want to have a discussion about recent events, especially if they don’t involve the other party? Focus on this person completely. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be touched by a loved one’s offer. Let this person express his or her feelings. Encourage him or her to reveal this dimension. Your creativity might be pushed to the max. Let go of certain needs; you will like the results. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your instincts might tell you to

Tundra

ride out a problem and not get locked into someone else’s solution. Understand what needs to happen between you two. An adjustment might create more trust. Try not to be too emotional with an older relative or friend.

Tonight: Sort through requests.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone could be so stubborn that you might not want to deal with him or her. You understand the negatives and the positives of a situation. You might want to indulge in some item to add to your appearance. Tonight: Clear out as much work as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be delighted by someone else’s overture, and you will be sure to thank him or her. The problem that lies between the two of you is that you come from such different situations that sometimes it can be difficult to understand each other. Tonight: Act like it is Friday night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be causing yourself far more problems than need be. Your unwillingness at times to adapt to various situations

demonstrates some insecurity and stubbornness on your behalf. You can only grow from a new experience, so try to embrace it. Tonight: Head home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be off on a wild goose chase, and might be wondering when to say that you have had enough. Your refusal to see a problem could be the source of this hassle. You can make a positive change by accepting this situation and working with it. Tonight: Visit with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Before you agree to an offer, recognize that you need to make a judgment about your funds.

A friend could push you hard to consider purchasing an item or making an investment of sorts.

Touch base with loved ones if you have time. Tonight: Listen to the feedback you are getting.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We’re in a pickle. We’ve spent the past winter in a wonderful retirement area. We’ve gone out to dinner with some neighbors and had a nice time.

Now that it’s time to head home, two couples talk constantly about traveling our way this summer, staying with us while they see the sights of our city.

Annie, we like these couples, but our lives are very different. For starters, we are vegans and they are not. Just having them for meals in our house would be difficult. We have hinted that we have a lot to do when we get home and are not sure when we would be available, but it hasn’t stopped them from assuming they are welcome.

Whatever happened to waiting to be invited? Is it because these retired couples have no set schedule and love to visit people? Why do they expect a big welcome mat to be thrown out for them?

I hope all snowbirds will read this. If you want to visit, book a hotel and we’ll be delighted to meet up with you at a restaurant. How do we get out of this? -Give Me a Break Dear Give: When people say they’re planning to visit you, reply sweetly, “We’d love to see you up our way. There are some charming hotels not far from our house and we’ll be happy to give you the names.

We could meet for dinner.” You are under no obligation to let them stay with you, no matter how insistent they are in their efforts to freeload. Always be polite, but don’t let them take advantage of you.

Dear Annie: This is about “Embarrassed About the Next Generation,” who said kids can’t make change or balance a checkbook.

When kids don’t learn in school, or their parents refuse to teach them, then you get the cashier at our fast-food restaurant.

The bill came to $5.25. We handed the girl $6.25, so she could give us back a dollar.

She stated that she couldn’t do that and gave me back the quarter, along with 75 cents. She didn’t know how to do it any other way.

Someone should teach these kids matters relating to finances. Remember, these are the next generation of bankers. -- We’re in Trouble Dear Trouble: Not really. Someone who cannot make change is not likely to go into banking. Surely you remember kids in your grade school and high school who had difficulty with math. They probably couldn’t make change, either, but you didn’t know about it.

We have received dozens of letters from readers who are annoyed, upset, irritated and angry that their local 19-year-old cashier doesn’t know how to make change. But it is unfair to blame an entire generation because one or two fast-food workers couldn’t decipher how to give you back a dollar. Plenty of young people can make change correctly. However, we completely agree that it is helpful to learn these life skills, and it will be up to the parents and grandparents to take on this responsibility. Better to spend a few hours mentoring than griping about it.

LaVern Hutchinson â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gramâ&#x20AC;?

1919 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2016

OJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S AUTOMOTIVE: After 30 years in the business, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going out to pasture, April 29th.

I thank all my customers and the tax man!

Sympathy & Understanding

It is with deep sorrow that the family of LaVern Hutchinson announces her passing on Friday, April 1, 2016 in Fernie, BC at 96 years of age.

LaVern was born on November 19, 1919 in Calgary, Alberta. She was a happy and caring woman whose best times were social gatherings of family and church, enjoying laughter and good conversation. LaVern married her late husband Bob and lived on the farm in Fernie where she loved her life best, raising chickens, gardening, canning and cooking. LaVern had 3 children from her 1st marriage and 10 given children from her 2nd marriage after Bob passed. LaVern found Jesus and became a devout Christian, leaving behind a bible well read. She was prepared to meet her loving Saviour at the nice age of 96. LaVernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expression of love to all were the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hugsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; she gave and received.

LaVern we all love you and miss you so much more than words can express. Until we meet again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; blessings from your very very large large family.

A memorial service for LaVern will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook at 1:00 pm. Her interment will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation may do so to the Campbell Family Medical Fund gofundme.com. Jackson Campbell is LaVernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great great grandson.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Members of the 552 Key City, 902 Kootenai and 581 Castlegar Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadrons recently completed a field training exercise at Fort Steele this past weekend.

Fort Steele hosts Air Cadets Field Training Exercise For the Townsman

Fifty-five cadets, aged 12 -18, from 552 Key City, 904 Kootenai and 581 Castlegar Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadrons participated in a Spring Field Training Exercise (FTX) at Ft. Steele Heritage Town this past weekend.

The focus this weekend was Team Building and Leadership, with a large variety of activities to

keep everyone busy. Team challenges included multi-legged race, stretcher carry, compass bearings, pipeline, radio communication, basic lashings and more.

They even tried old fashioned game of ‘Hoop Rolling’ down the board walks. The fall FTX focuses on survival skills and air crash scenarios. There were a large number of staff and screened volunteers

assisting to make this a very successful weekend.

Cadets were introduced to the sport of Orienteering with the assistance of Chris, Toni & 3 others, from the Kootenay Orienteering Club. After basic introduction/review training, cadets were sent off on an Orienteering ‘scored’ event.

The score event has a mass start, so as the bell rang - cadets were

running with their maps, in all directions to find the ‘controls’ and punch their electronic device.

There were 15 ‘Controls’ & a few ‘false’ controls located all over the grounds of Ft. Steele.

The cadets impressed the Orienteering Club members by completing the course in half the total time allowed, and 31 of them receiving a perfect score. Some of
