City and CAO part ways CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The City of Kimberley has issued a brief press release announcing that Chief Administrative Officer Al Mulholland is no longer in the employ of the City.

The press release states: “The City writes this communication to advise that Mr. Al Mulholland is no longer employed with the City.

“We thank him for his service to the City and wish him well in his future endeavors,” said Mayor Ron McRae. The City is searching for a new CAO and in the meantime, Chief Financial Officer Holly

Ronnquist will fill the role as acting CAO. The City expects to find a permanent replacement within three or four months.

Mulholland arrived in Kimberley in April of 2010 during the administration of former Mayor Jim Ogilvie.

He came to Kimberley from the Sunshine Coast where he spent 10 years as executive director of Community Futures of the Sunshine Coast.

Prior to that, Mulholland spent many years in executive management positions, including as Deputy Minister in the Government of Saskatchewan from 1976 to 1986.

Cranbrook Mayor on cull: “They’re not our deer.”

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

After refusing to provide comment on council’s decision last week, Cranbrook’s Mayor Wayne Stetski has explained why the city is culling another 30 deer this winter.

Speaking about the decision at Monday’s regular council meeting, Mayor Stetski said he wants permission from the province to try other methods of urban deer management, pointing out several times “they are the province’s deer”.

“Deer are owned by the province. We and all of the municipalities in British Columbia can only do what the province permits us to do.

“We often hear groups asking for a variety of options, like hazing — chasing them out of Cranbrook with dogs. We hear about translocation of deer. We hear about using infertility drugs with does,” said Stetski.

“We can only do what the province gives us permission to do. We want to work with the province to get permission to try other deer management techniques and tools, and maybe some we haven’t even thought of yet.”

Last Thursday, the City of Cranbrook announced that it has a permit to kill another 30 mule deer using clover traps inside city limits, and council has agreed to go ahead with the cull. It would not say when or where the traps would be set, and council would not provide any comment on how it reached the decision.

It is the second cull to be carried out in Cranbrook, after 25 urban mule and whitetail deer

“We can only do what the province gives us permission to do. We want to work with the province to get permission to try other deer management techniques and tools, and maybe some we haven’t even thought of yet.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski

were trapped and killed in November 2011.

Last October, Mayor Stetski said the city would hold off on the second cull until a court case over Invermere’s cull was resolved.

The civil case is ongoing in B.C. Supreme Court.

On Monday, Mayor Stetski seemed to express regret over how council handled the announcement, but explained that public safety was its primary concern.

“Could we have done a better job as council in communication with the public around the deer cull? I think so,” he said.

“At the same time, we were encouraged from a safety perspective to limit the amount of information going out there. By safety I mean safety for residents

who might want to have a trap in their yard as part of this process, safety for contractors who are doing the work. There were issues in Invermere last year. So the advice we were given was: be cautious around the information you release. Maybe we were too cautious.”

The mayor also asked public interest groups to put forward funds so that if the province allows the city to try other methods of deer control, it will have the money to do so.

“We do want to work in partnership with other groups that have a real interest in deer and wildlife in Cranbrook. They seem to be fairly good at attracting money, so let’s ask them to partner with us and use some of that money to implement other kinds of techniques here in Cranbrook,” said Stetski.

He said that council struggled with the decision, realizing that the community was divided on the issue.

“It is indeed a controversial issue and council respects that fact — believe me, council respects that it’s a controversial issue. We continue to hear from the citizens of Cranbrook both for and against the deer population.

“I want everybody to understand how much we struggle with this issue. We really do. Looking ahead to the future, I think it would be great to have a variety of tools that we can choose from to try them and have funding for.

But to do that we need the province on side with approvals and funding, and I think we need to tap into the real interest there is out there for deer in Cranbrook and try to access some of that fi-

Flap over flume funding BC Liberal candidate annoyed by Macdonald’s flume comments C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

BC Liberal candidate for Columbia River Revelstoke Doug Clovechok has taken exception to MLA Norm Macdonalds comments around Kimberley’s flume funding.

Macdonald said last week that Kimberley’s flume should have been funded and that BC Liberal MLAs were trying to save their seats.

Clovechok says Macdonald’s comments were partisan and not

correct, and he can’t believe the MLA doesn’t know how such funding programs work.

“Kimberley’s Mark Creek Flume Project application was made to the federal Gas Tax Program, a program that involves absolutely no provincial dollars and absolutely has nothing to do with the provincial government,” Clovechok saId. “Monies designated from this federal government program go directly to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities where a five member non-partisan panel with only one provincial ministry employee decides what projects have the most merit. The role of the Ministry of Community, Sport & Cultural Devel-

opment is to simply provide the technical analysis of all submitted infrastructure projects and report the data to the panel. The Minister has no input at all into the process or the final decisions. Once the panel’s funding decisions are finalized, the Ministry informs all applicants as to the outcome of their requests.

“It is mind boggling that the NDP candidate would not know how such funding programs and processes work considering the eight years he has spent as an MLA. An even worse scenario is that he actually does know and for self serving reasons, refuses to inform the public. For a sitting MLA to infer that Kimberley has

received nothing from the BC Liberals is incorrigible given the fact that millions of dollars have been invested in the City since 2001.

“It is very unfortunate that Kimberley’s Flume application was not chosen. I have personally requested that the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development consider seeking information that would help the City of Kimberley understand why the application was not successful.

In the end the question that needs to be asked is simple. Are the NDP candidates “twisted” Flume funding theories believable? It’s a no!"

nancing moving forward,” said Stetski.

He said that in the past 12 months, the Conservation Officer Service has euthanized 55 deer in and around Cranbrook that have been injured in accidents and motor vehicle collisions.

“If you look around and think there don’t seem to be as many deer here as previously, that’s possibly one of the reasons,” said Stetski.

Jumbo Council meeting protested From Page 1 “The first meeting of the appointed council of the Jumbo municipality was greeted with a demonstration against a land giveaway that has absolutely no evidence of local support, and has no democratic basis,” said Macdonald in Question Period Tuesday. “The minister talks about a massive investment but neglects to mention that there is actually no investor.

“The money the minister is spending is public money. The land that is being given away is public land. And the benefits are entirely to be enjoyed by a small group of BC Liberal insiders.

“How can the minister possibly justify this waste of taxpayer dollars?”

“There is not one building in Jumbo.

There is not one paved road. There is not one resident. And that is not likely to change at any time because there is also no investor.

“With no investors other than the taxpayers of BC, what is the government doing proceeding with this

waste of taxpayers’ money?”

Robyn Duncan of Wildsight was at the protest and attended the Council meeting.

She said the Mayor (Greg Deck) and two Councillors did not address the protest and simply conducted a quick business meeting.

“We weren’t able to glean a lot of information from the meeting,” Duncan said.

“They confirmed the salaries ($7500 for the Mayor and $5000 for Councillors) and a direct transfer of $200,000 from the provincial government.

So those salaries are paid by the BC taxpayer.”

Duncan says the strategy now is to continue to point out the ludicrous nature of a municipality without citizens and wait for the decision on the two legal challenges facing the Jumbo Resort.

“The Ktunaxa are challenging the Master Development plant and the West Kootenay Eco Society is challenging the constitutionality of the creation of the municipality. These are the

next steps in terms of moving forward,” she said.

“Of course there could be a change in government in May as well.”

Duncan says that although something could have changed, Wildsight agrees with Macdonald that there is no investor.

So why the push to establish the municipality?

“That’s a big mystery,” she said. “There are obviously people who believe strongly in the project, but even Oberto Oberti (the developer involved in the Jumbo project since 1990) said in September that if he was an investor he’d invest in Valemount, not Jumbo.”

Oberti is involved in the development of a Valemount resort as well.

However, Doug Clovechok, BC Liberal candidate for the Columbia River Revelstoke riding says that is just opinion.

“What the NDP candidate and Wildsight are saying about the lack of investors for Jumbo begs the questions: how would they possibly know

Protesters at the Council meeting. that and do they understand how business works? I am not privy to the Jumbo Glacier Resort Inc. business plan but do know that in the world of business, ventures of this magnitude do not pro-

ceed without economic confidence and support. Opinions given by the NDP candidate and Wildsight on this issue are just that... opinion!”

Hospital ICU gets green light The B.C. budget includes money to replace the Intensive Care Unit at East Kootenay Regional Hospital Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

After years of waiting, Cranbrook’s hospital will finally get a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU), says Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

The $20 million project was included in the health care component of this week’s B.C. budget.

“The budget included reference to money

for ‘projects at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’. This means we will get funding for the new ICU – details will be announced at later date,” Bennett said Tuesday.

The announcement was met with excitement by Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board chair John Kettle.

“That is absolutely

awesome. I’ve been carrying that cross on my shoulders for the last three years. It’s something we’ve fought for very hard,” said Kettle.

The budget does not spell out exactly how much funding is heading this way, Bennett said.

“The first and most important step in moving this critical regional health care project forward is now behind us, that of ensuring the project is in the province’s fiscal plan. Now, we will determine the details of the project: total cost, number of beds and design.”

Renovations to the four-bed ICU will include mandatory upgrades to the electrical system throughout the hospital to bring it up to the latest CSA stan-

dards, Interior Health’s director of business support Todd Mastel said earlier this month.

The health authority told the Ministry of Health the total cost would be $19.9 million.

But even if the hospital doesn’t receive that full amount, it’s great news, said John Kettle.

“Any monies that are coming to the hospital for an upgrade of our ICU is a win for our taxpayers,” he said. “My sincere thanks to our board and particularly to Bill Bennett for fighting so hard for us.”

Bennett said he has been working to get funding for the ICU for at least the past four years. “(Hospital chief) Dr (Lawrence) Jewett and I have had many discussions.

“I played a pivotal role in securing this project being included in the fiscal plan. It was very tough with virtually no money available,” said Bennett.

The ICU renovation is one of the three large projects Cranbrook has been hoping to receive provincial funding for.

The other two are a homeless shelter, and a replacement of Mount Baker Secondary School.

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski said it’s exciting to tick one of those items off the list.

“This is great news for Cranbrook and I’m glad our MLA was able to get it on the list. I think that’s wonderful.

“It’s very much needed for everybody who lives in the East Kootenay.”

Budget parsed and debated From Page 1 There are also tax increases — a one per cent increase to corporate taxes and a temporary, two-year increase in personal income taxes to those making over $150,000.

Those increases will be from 2.1 to 16.8 per cent. Tobacco products will be going up $2 a carton, and there will be another increase to Medical Services Premiums in January 2014 (about 4 per cent).

While no cuts have been specified in detail, there will be spending cuts in Ministry budgets and curtailed growth in others.

The forecasted surpluses will come from natural gas royalties and expected sales of about 100 surplus properties, which could bring in $500 million.

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP) says you’d have to be naive to find those numbers credible.

“They talk about a balanced budget.

BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok

NDP MLA Macdonald.

They haven’t come close to a balanced budget. They haven’t come close. You’d have to be magnificently naive to find these numbers credible.

“We have a $1.2 billion deficit this year.

And one year later, we’ll have a $197 million surplus? We’ll be lucky to maintain that deficit. An almost $1.5 billion turn around is just incredible to believe.”

Macdonald says basing the budget on projections of gas royalties, the projections of which have not proven solid in the past, and on the non-sustainable sale

of properties creates a pretension of fiscal stability.

“It’s not useful for politicians to pretend the fiscal state of the province is better than it is,” he said.

However, BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok says the budget is reflective that the government gets the message that the people of BC want the fiscal house in order.

“The budget is not what people might expect on the eve of an election and it is a budget that puts principles before politics,” Clovechok said. “It demonstrates that strong leadership

It is a budget that sets us apart from others who have never been able to achieve balance in provincial economics.”The governments objective was to balance the budget and we are one of the only provinces in Canada that has achieved this. Unlike other provinces who are forecasting record deficits in the billions, BC is on track for a modest surplus.

This surplus is a reflection of our fiscal prudence and discipline during the 2008-2009 global economic crisis. The budget was created in an open and transparent way engaging economic experts who reported that the process and methodologies used were sound and projections realistic.

As for direct benefits to the people of Columbia River Revelstoke, Clovechok says new job will be created by the steady predicted growth of 1.6 per cent.

“Support for Health care will be increased by $2.4 billion over the next three years which includes an increase of 4 per cent in MSP premiums starting in 2014 amounting to about $5 per month per person. This increase is necessary due to the cost of health care but it is also important to understand that less than 10 per cent of what we pay for health care comes from these premiums.”

“In a way,” Nora Guthrie said, extremely pleased with the care Depp took with her father’s novel, “he’s just like my dad.” (This one’s for Karin).

Coming this spring, Mount Baker Senior Secondary will be performing “Fiddler on the Roof,” May 9-12.

The classic story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman who struggles with the choice of following tradition, or allowing his five daughters to find love on their own is one full of

laughs, romance, heartbreak, and enlightenment.

Since January the cast and crew have been hard at work putting together a show that will truly inspire.

Directed by Mary Hamilton, Angus Liedtke (as Tevye), Brianna Kennedy, Joelle Winkel, Carter Gulseth, Danica Martin, Ben Smith, Lois Winkel, and

Justice Jones lead a gifted cast of students Grades 10-12.

The equally talented crew includes Scott Martin as the Musical Director, Jacqueline Morrow and David Popoff as the choreographers, and Paul Kershaw as set designer.

The show will be held at Key City Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on May 9-11 and 2 p.m. on May 12.

Tickets will be $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors.

This musical masterpiece is sure to transport you to a time when love was nonsense and tradition was everything. Be sure to get tickets now to avoid missing out on such a phenomenal Mount Baker production.

A safe approach for a healthy baby

L

IDEAL Family

ong before birth, the baby builds the roots of his health based on his parents’ genetic legacy and from his reactions to all the influences met during pregnancy.

These two factors are the foundation of his future. According to researchers in obstetrics and perinatal care such as Dr. Michel Odent, Pr. Jean-Pierre Relier and Bruce Lipton, prenatal life is truly the time to educate the child. After birth, education will only put more or less in motion what is already developed in the womb.

Discovered by Andrew Taylor Still in Missouri in 1874, osteopathy is a complete functional manual medicine that also specializes in the care of children, pregnant women and parents.

The assessment and care are made by a superficial and deep manual palpation of tensions sought by the hands of the osteopath.

Osteopathy uses five main techniques to meet the needs of the body: 1. Osteo-articular to release compression in the joints (this technique has led to chiropraxy); 2. Myo-fascial to help release the muscles and their envelopes (the fascia); 3. Visceral to release chemical or mechanical damage to organs; 4. Cranio-sacral to release the nervous and hormonal systems; 5. Bio-dynamic to revitalize weakened or degenerated tissues.

Osteopathy can help start or strengthen contractions during childbirth, reposition the baby, release the newborn torti-

collis, regurgitation, restlessness, digestive disorders, insomnia, give lactation support and postpartum care. It is specifically designed to remove, transform or release imprints of stress, starting with the parents before conception; clearing the way for the future child.

Osteopathy is also useful to prevent the transfer of daily stress from the mother to the unborn baby.

Viola Fryman, Doctor in Osteopathy, has built a renowned Institute in California where she has demonstrated the efficiency of this practice on pregnant women and on babies at an early age, when important negative prenatal imprints can still be removed. In osteopathy these stress points are called ‘strains’ and are very palpable for the osteopath. They result from various mechanical pressures done on the womb through the diaphragm of the mother under stress, or a high dosage of adrenaline which tightens the tissues of both mother and baby.

Whether it be an intense stress inflicted by surprise and in isolation, or a repeated but untreated stress of lower intensity, these factors will deeply imprint the tissues of the unborn child. At each step of his development, the child matures in a specific part of his system. An adult whose tissues have been under stress before birth, will have more difficulty to face the

challenges of life because of weaker body systems.

When babies are treated by an osteopath within three months after their birth, more than 60 per cent of the perinatal strain can be removed. And treating the pregnant women can even remove over 80 per cent of the prenatal pathological imprints on the baby. And if future parents are treated before conception, a high amount of their own prenatal strain will be released. This gives a much healthier genetic legacy to the child!

Ideal Family is a charitable organization located in Jaffray, B.C. where two osteopathic practitioners specialize in perinatal care. With the help of other practitioners in adjacent fields, they give workshops and activities to increase the health of couples, pregnant mothers and babies.

Every third Sunday of the month, families are welcomed in Jaffray to benefit from this unique opportunity (by donation).

Canuck forward suspended for hit to Marian Hossa C ANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK - Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen has been suspended one game for a hit to the head on Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa.

Hansen struck Hossa in the back of the head with his forearm during the third period of the Blackhawks’ 4-3 win Tuesday.

Hossa was reaching for a puck in the air as Hansen, who had also reached for the puck, closed his glove and delivered the hit.

The injury knocked Hossa out of the game after he had already scored two goals. There is still no timeline for his return.

Hansen, who was as-

sessed a minor penalty for roughing after the hit, will forfeit US$7,297.30 and will miss the Canucks’ game in Dallas on Thursday.

Hansen has three goals and four assists in 15 games.

The Blackhawks will be left to hope Hossa, who has eight goals and six assists in 16 games this season, isn’t gone for long after suffering his second head injury in less than a year.

Hossa was knocked out of the playoffs with a concussion in April 2011 after a hit from behind from Phoenix forward Raffi Torres.

Torres was suspended 25 games for the incident, although that penalty was later changed to 21 games.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Cranbrook is a long way from home for Jon Martin, but heading into Brandon for a pair of games was close enough for the Manitoban, who hails from Winnipeg.

“It was great,” said Martin. “Got to see a lot of the family and cousins so it was really good to have that support out there.”

Martin had a banner night on Saturday in front of his almost-home crowd, with friends and family in attendance, scoring twice, including the game winner in overtime that put the Kootenay Ice 4-3 over the Wheat Kings.

“I felt pretty good out there,” said Martin. “Just kept moving my feet and doing the simple things and it all paid out so it was good.”

His performance, plus his size and physical style of play, earned him a spot alongside Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau against the Swift Current Broncos on Monday.

“Definitely it’s a lot different, playing with them,” said Martin, who

has spent most of the season playing with Zach McPhee and Austin Vetterl. “It’s going to take some getting used to and if I do end up staying on that line, I’ll have to get used to them in practice and start building up some chemistry with them.”

Kletzel noted that the Broncos are big up front, and the Kootenay coaches wanted to add some size to complement the duo of Reinhart and Descheneau.

“Swift Current has a bigger, physical team and I think we wanted to make sure that we have had a presence on each line and I think that’s where you’ve seen him join those two,” said Kletzel. “In the game before that, he had a good game, so he gets an opportunity to play with Reinhart and Descheneau and another chance to see some different lines and how they play together for the future.”

Descheneau ended up going on a tear on the score sheet and posted his first career WHL hat trick.

The final goal came on an empty net play

while Swift Current was making an attempt at a late comeback.

“I didn’t think I was going to get it, because Philper had it at the start of the play and it got blocked,” said Descheneau. “It was an unselfish play by Cable in giving it to me there and so it felt

good.”

With a 5-2 win over the Broncos, the Ice leapfrogged ahead of the Lethbridge Hurricanes and into eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Considering their road record in the first half of the season, the Ice have certainly turned things around in the latter half, with eight wins in 14 road games.

“I think, especially on the road, you need every guy to be ready to go from the start of the

game. I think we had some success, especially in Swift Current, we had that right off the bat,” said Kletzel. “We played a really complete game in Swift Current and had those guys doing the things they need to do.”

“When we were in Brandon, we were a little inconsistent with that.

We had periods where we started well as a group, but we didn’t put the game together like we did in Swift Current.”

The Ice were hoping to add another player to the bus during the trip by picking up Troy Murray, their first-round draft selection in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft last year, however, the young defenceman was recovering from an injury.

Murray, the younger brother of Everett Silvertips star defenceman Ryan Murray, could have possibly seen some ice time, however, the intent was to introduce him to the Kootenay Ice’s atmosphere and culture, said Kletzel.

“I think it’s good to get him with the culture of the team, to kind of see what it’s like to be on

the road and what that looks like and how you have to prepare,” said Kletzel. “Guys like Joey Leach, you want him to learn from a guy like that, to have some experience with him, with how Joey’s done a really good job with other guys that he’s played with.”

Now that the team has a hold on a playoff spot, the challenge becomes staying in the race. The Hurricanes are only one point behind, however, the Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors trail by 10.

Both teams have 12 games remaining in the season, but Kootenay has four more victories in the win column. The ‘Canes are close in points because they picked up a bunch due to nine games that were lost in either overtime or a shootout.

“We just gotta keep doing what we’ve been doing since the [Christmas] break,” said Descheneau. “We were way out of the playoffs after the break, but now we’re back in and we gotta keep going, proceed forward and try to get into a higher position.”

Homan shows her Scotties debut is no fluke Gregory Strong Canadian Press

KINGSTON, Ont. Ontario skip Rachel Homan admits she didn’t think she was capable of winning the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in her debut appearance in 2011.

She made the playoffs that year in Charlottetown but lost the bronze-medal game.

Homan’s mindset has changed now that she has returned to the national women’s curling championship.

She feels she belongs in the mix with the elite rinks and has what it takes to play for the title on Sunday.

“I think we’re just as good as any team here now,” Homan said. “I think we’re ready and I think we’ve shown that this season as well.”

The 23-year-old skip from the Ottawa Curling Club is backing up her words. The momentum from a strong campaign has carried over to the nationals, where Homan improved to 7-0 on Wednesday after an 8-2 rout of Saskatchewan’s Jill Shumay.

“She’s a superstar and she will be a superstar,” said Nova Scotia viceskip Colleen Jones.

“She’s so intense, so driven, so good, that it’s amazing.”

Homan is tied for first place with Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones, who beat Heather Nedohin 8-5 to knock the Team Canada skip from the unbeaten ranks.

Homan’s teammates are also in their mid-20’s but they have been together for 12 years. She feels they’re prepared to

take the next step.

“Honestly, it’s experience,” she said. “You can’t fast-track that.”

Her rink won the national junior title in 2010 and took the silver at the world junior championships that year. The Ontario team sits third in the Canadian Team Ranking System this season.

Homan’s side is aggressive but steady on the ice and the mileage from the last few seasons is evident. They appear to have that look of a rink that truly belongs at the top level.

New Brunswick skip Andrea Crawford said Homan exudes confidence on the ice.

“That plays a big role in your performance,” Crawford said. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot that shakes her.”

Homan has also been buoyed by the friendly crowd at the K-Rock Centre, which is about a two-hour drive from her home club in Ottawa.

She’ll get a stiff test Thursday when she meets Jones in a battle of undefeated rinks.

“I think maybe two more wins and we might be in the 1-2 (playoff) game,” Homan said of her goal for the round robin. “That’s where we’d like to be at the end of the week. It’s where we were at provincials and we like that spot.

“Hopefully we can get there at nationals, it would be amazing.”

Homan added that her squad of third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk and lead Lisa Weagle will keep using the same strategy. So expect plenty of rocks in

play and big shot attempts when the opportunities present themselves.

“We know each other really well,” Homan said.

“We know what needs to be said and what we need on the ice and off the ice. We’re just really good friends.

“We try to make it as fun as we can out there.”

The tournament is past the midway point and teams are starting to think about potential playoff positioning.

Jones and Homan are in good shape as it will likely take at least seven wins to be in the mix this weekend.

“It’s nice to get that seventh win and it knocks (Saskatchewan) down with another loss so there’s a little bit more separation,” Homan said.

Sabres fire Ruff, promote AHL affiliate coach John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Ron Rolston will finish out the season as the Buffalo Sabres interim coach, taking over hours after Lindy Ruff was fired Wednesday amid growing criticism for the team’s slow start.

Rolston was in his second season as coach of AHL Rochester, the Sabres’ minor-league affiliate. And he has long-tenured shoes to fill in replacing Ruff, who became the franchise’s winningest coach over 16 seasons.

“The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach, but as a person. His qualities have made this decision very difficult.

Terry Pegula The change comes a day after the Sabres were booed off the ice during a 2-1 loss to Winnipeg, and after Ruff had finished overseeing a 90-minute practice in preparation for Buffalo’s game at Toronto on Thursday.

General manager Darcy Regier called the team’s lethargic perfor-

mance during the loss to the Jets as “a tipping point.” And he added that discussions to fire Ruff had begun earlier in the day.

The Sabres (6-10-1) have gone 4-10-1 since opening the season winning their first two games.

Regier went to Ruff’s home to inform the coach of the decision.

He then allowed Ruff to visit with players as they boarded a bus to travel to Toronto.

Rolston was scheduled to arrive in Buffalo on Wednesday evening and then join Regier in travelling to Toronto for his first meeting with the team. Regier said he’ll use the remainder of the season to determine whether Rolston deserves taking over the job on a full-time basis.

Before being hired by the Rochester Americans, Rolston spent seven seasons as coach of USA Hockey’s National Team development program. During that time, he became the first coach to lead the U.S. Under-18 team to win three gold medals (2005, 2009, 2011).

Rolston is also familiar with numerous Sabres, including centre Cody Hodgson and forward Marcus Foligno.

He spent the first half of this season coaching both, as they played in Rochester during the NHL lockout.

Ruff finished with a 571-432-162 record, and was also the active leader among NHL coaches with the same team.

The news of his firing came as a surprise only because Sabres management, including team president Ted Black, had spent much of the past week voicing its support of Ruff.

Team owner Terry Pegula was also regarded as a big fan of Ruff.

Pegula, however, was running out of options in his bid to turn the Sabres into a Stanley Cup contender, an objective he made clear upon purchasing the team two years ago.

Ruff ’s firing comes nearly two years to the day Pegula formally

took over as the Sabres owner on Feb. 22, 2011.

“The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach but also as a person,” Pegula said in a statement released by the team. “His qualities have made this decision very difficult. I personally want Lindy to know that he can consider me a friend always.”

Ruff was becoming increasingly aware that his job was on the line.

Last week, he described the Sabres struggles as being “his mess,” while adding that he wasn’t done trying to clean it up.

On Wednesday, he abruptly cut short his

availability with reporters by hinting that changes were coming because “it isn’t working the way we’re going.” He didn’t specify what those changes might be.

Last year, the Sabres were regarded as one of the NHL’s biggest busts in missing the playoffs with a high-priced roster.

The previous off-season, Pegula committed nearly $140 million in salary to add talent and re-sign players.

Canadian tennis player says she’s ‘stepping away’ from the game C anadian Press

TORONTO - One of Canada’s top female tennis players is distancing herself from the game for the second time in a year.

Rebecca Marino says she’s “stepping away” from tennis.

The 22-year-old from Vancouver rocketed from a world ranking of No. 192 in 2010 to No. 38 a year later.

She reached a WTA tournament final in Memphis in February, 2011.

“This was not an easy decision, but there are a number of factors that have led me to this,” Marino said in a statement issued Wednesday by Tennis Canada.

“Factors that are part

of our society and that I am more than open to discuss, which I plan to do moving forward, because I know it’s part of my growth process.”

It wasn’t clear from the release if Marino intended to retire or return to tennis. She was scheduled to speak to the media on a conference call later Wednesday.

Marino told the New York Times the Internet and social media criticism that comes with being a pro athlete were overwhelming at times.

It played a role in her decision to take a hiatus in 2012 that lasted seven months, although at the time she said her reasons were “intense mental and physical fatigue.”

Muddled testimony raises questions Associated Press

PRETORIA, South Africa - The prosecution case against Oscar Pistorius began to unravel Wednesday with revelations of a series of police blunders and the lead investigator’s admission that authorities have no evidence challenging the double-amputee Olympian’s claim he killed his girlfriend accidentally.

Detective Hilton Botha’s often confused testimony left prosecutors rubbing their heads in frustration as he misjudged distances and said testosterone banned for professional athletes in some cases was found at the scene, only to be later contradicted by the prosecutor’s office.

The second day of what was supposed to be a mere bail hearing almost resembled a fullblown trial for the 26-year-old runner, with his lawyer, Barry Roux, tearing into Botha’s testimony step by step during cross examination.

Police, Botha acknowledged, left a 9 mm slug from the barrage that killed Reeva Steenkamp inside a toilet and lost track of illegal ammunition found inside the house. And the detective himself walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, potentially contaminating the area.

Authorities, Roux asserted, were selectively taking “every piece of evidence to try to extract the most possibly negative connotation and present it to the court.”

The case has riveted South Africa, with journalists and the curious crowding into the brickwalled courtroom where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying.

Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prosecutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered be-

Paralympic and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius claims he killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, accidentally. hind a locked bathroom door.

The question now is whether Botha’s troubled testimony will be enough to convince Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair to keep Pistorius in prison until trial. While Pistorius

faces the harshest bail requirements under South African law, the magistrate has said he would consider loosening them based on testimony in the hearing.

Final arguments were scheduled for Thursday.

INDIANAPOLIS The next time Jim Schwartz or any other NFL coach throws a challenge flag on a scoring play, he might get a penalty.

Starting next season, he should get a replay review, too.

NFL executive vice-president of football operations Ray Anderson emerged from Wednesday’s competition committee meeting in Indianapolis and told The Associated Press the most important thing is getting the call right.

“The bottom line is that we will get resolution on that play where we will get it right, where the play on the field is correctly administered,” Anderson said.

The loophole was exposed on the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game when Schwartz threw the challenge flag on an 81-yard touchdown run

Forsett.

Replays clearly showed Forsett’s knee and elbow touched the turf when he was hit by Lions defenders. But because all scoring plays are automatically reviewed, Schwartz was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and it negated the review.

In the aftermath of that game, Anderson issued a statement that said negating the review might be “too harsh.”

Though no formal proposal is yet on the table, Anderson and others expect the rule to be modified before next season.

“I think we need to clean up the situations about what is reviewed, with Detroit and I think it was the Green Bay-Minnesota game,” Giants owner John Mara said, referring to the play that coach Mike McCarthy threw the flag and a player picked it up. “I think

we’ll address that. I’m not sure what the language will look like yet.”

That’s not the only topic on the committee’s discussion list this week.

Player safety is yet again at the forefront.

The biggest potential change may be the way helmets are used in the future.

Currently, players can be penalized for hitting defenceless receivers and hitting players above the neck with the crown of the helmet.

One possibility is expanding the rule to make it illegal to target any player on the field and any body part with the top of the helmet.

The league also plans to take a look at changing the rules on illegal blocks, which could help avoid the low, rolling block that knocked Texans linebacker Brian Cushing out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

C O N G R A TNEWS U L A T I O N S Ktunaxa Nation Hosting Open House February 22nd

KTUNAXA NATION OPEN HOUSE

Cranbrook/Ktunaxa Territory – The Ktunaxa Nation Council (KNC) are inviting the public to an Open House on Friday February 22nd, between 1:00pm-7:00pm, at their new office location in the Central School heritage building. The Ktunaxa Nation purchased the building in August 2012 and it is now home to over 100 staff members.

“We are very excited to invite the public into our new home, and provide an opportunity to learn more about the Ktunaxa,” said

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair.

“For many, it will be the first opportunity to see the inside of the Central School Building since it was transformed it into offices. Hundreds of area residents attended the Central School as students, including many Ktunaxa, and their only recollection is of classrooms and chalkboards.”

The Ktunaxa Nation is governed by a nine member Executive Council, which is comprised of the

new office location!

(the newly purchased Central School heritage building)

Congratulations to the Ktunaxa Nation Council on the opening of the new Ktunaxa Nation Government Building Teck is proud to have a strong partnership with the Ktunaxa Nation and we look forward to a bright future together.

If you have any comments or questions about Teck please visit our office on the first floor of the KNGB building in Cranbrook or contact feedbackteckcoal@teck.com

Chiefs of the four Canadian Ktunaxa communities and five Council Chairs which represent the sectors of the KNC: Corporate; Economic; Social Investment; Lands and Resources; and Traditional Knowledge and Language.

Each Sector will have a display highlighting their role within the Ktunaxa Nation, with staff there to provide information.

Building tours will leave from the Gymnasium on a regular basis, showcasing many of the unique features, such as the original school bell and furnace.

As part of the Open House, we are also encouraging visitors to take part in documenting the history of both the Central School and the Ktunaxa,” continued Teneese.

“The Ktunaxa deeply value our collective regional history. We feel that it is important to ensure that we

archive that history, and we would like to invite the public to bring any photos they may have that involve either the Central School or Ktunaxa. We will have a digital scanner set up at the Open House, and if you bring your photos in, we will preserve them for future generations.”

The purchase of the Central School Building represents a continuum of the history of Ktunaxa on its lands, and is symbolic of Ktunaxa efforts in moving towards self-governance.

The building, built in 1909, will become a centre for cultural gatherings and will house a Ktunaxa Nation Museum, for which resource planning is already underway. The building will also have a dedicated space for Ktunaxa Elders to discuss and share cultural values and history. The building will be home to many affiliated organizations including

Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty Society, St. Eugene Mission Resort Holdings Ltd., Ktunaxa Holdings Ltd., Traditional Knowledge Language Enrichment Society, Kootenay Aboriginal Business Development Agency (KABDA) and FlexiNET Broadband Inc.

In a recent analysis, figures show that the Ktunaxa inject more than $30 million annually into the regional economy. Most revenue is generated is from consulting and professional services, along with various Ktunaxa owned enterprises, with less than 3% of core funding coming from AANDC (Department of Indian Affairs).

---------------------------------- Ktunaxa people have occupied the lands adjacent to the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and the Arrow Lakes of British Columbia, Canada for more than 10,000 years.

URBAN DEER Whether you

love

hate

them or

them

CULLING DOESN’T WORK And here are just a few of the reasons why...

There is no way to target specific deer. f Most conflicts reported involve Mule deer because they may be more active during daylight.

White-tailed deer are more likely to be active at night. The clover traps are baited and set to trigger during the night. The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of species.

Culling causes Compensatory Rebound Effect.

f Killing fawns, yearlings and bucks will not normally affect the reproductive potential of the deer herd within a community. (Harris, MoFLNRO, Penticton, 2012) The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of sex or age.

f As long as there is an abundant food source and deer feel comfortable in a location, the culled deer population will be replaced through other deer moving in and a birthing boom. Thus leading to a perpetual killing cycle costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars without effectively reducing human/deer conflict.

f There is no way to know that a deer suspected of aggression has been eliminated from the community. It may be the less habituated deer who have not had conflict with humans.

Public safety - the very thing the municipalities say they are trying to address - is not improved.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE?

1. The decision/resolution to cull

and the decision/resolution of what tax dollars to spend on it in Cranbrook was made by City Council “in camera” - meaning behind closed doors and without public observation or consult.

This is in direct contradiction to what the Community Charter (the legislative guidlines for municipal governments) dictates.

Transparent government is critical to community trust.

3. Culling costs tens of thousands

of your tax dollars every year without any lasting or true benefit.

2. Culling does not resolve citizen

4. Culling does not improve public safety

concerns about deer whether it’s for those who want them “dealt with” for various reasons, or for those who enjoy their presence and want to coexist. As such, it is a very divisive action conducted by our city leaders without benefit to our community.

- the very reason the city says they are taking this action.

5. Mule Deer are on decline in our

forests. We need the deer to replenish our barrier deer population.

We aren’t advocating for the cit y to do nothing.

We’vvee researched solutions that work in other communities.

The CRANBROOK & DISTRICT CHAMBER of COMMERCE

The recent renovation project at the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce is a success story from top to bottom. The Chamber office, located at the East end of town just off Cranbrook Street, now utilizes space more efficiently, has more offices available to rent and has improved the overall appearance to the front reception area which has the important responsibility of a welcoming first impression to many visitors to our beautiful location year

round. The project was completed in October 2012 and well received by those who came by for a tour of the office on their own and during the Chamber’s open house on December 12th following the Christmas Luncheon at the Heritage Inn. Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce building directors also took advantage of the BC Hydro Product Incentive Program topped off by the additional 10% rebate from the Province of B.C.’s LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program when upgrading their lighting. http://www.livesmartbc.ca/incentives/small-business/index. html Kootenay Region’s provincially funded LiveSmart BC Small Business Energy Advisor, Marilyn Christensen assisted with the eligibility and product information, and helped them through the online application process. Becoming more energy efficient is crucial to cutting costs and in addition, sets a good example to its members

and the community by showing their commitment to making greener choices. The Chamber office will now save an estimated 21,679.20 KWh per year!!

Their rebate cheque was received within two weeks!

With so many decisions to make, Chamber of Commerce Manager, Karin Penner, appreciated Marilyn’s involvement. Marilyn’s services are currently available for FREE to all Kootenay area small businesses who qualify, including non-chamber members.

Kepler-37b is around the same size as the moon and similar to Mercury.

Smallest planet yet planet discovered Alicia Chang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Astronomers searching for planets outside our solar system have discovered the tiniest one yet — one that’s about the size of our moon.

But hunters for life in the universe will need to poke elsewhere. The new world orbits too close to its sun-like star and is too sizzling to support life. Its surface temperature is an estimated 700 degrees Fahrenheit (371 degrees Celsius). It also lacks an atmosphere and water on its rocky surface.

It’s been nearly two decades since the first planet was found outside our solar system. Since then, there’s been an explosion of discoveries, accelerated by NASA’s Kepler telescope launched in 2009 to

search for a twin Earth.

So far, 861 planets have been spotted and only recently have scientists been able to detect planets that are similar in size to Earth or smaller.

While scientists have theorized the existence of a celestial body that’s smaller than Mercury — the baby of the solar system since Pluto’s downgrade — they have not spotted one until now.

Nearest to the sun, Mercury is about two-fifths the Earth’s diameter; the newly discovered planet and our moon are about a third the size of Earth.

The teeny planet was detected by Kepler, which simultaneously tracks more than 150,000 stars for slight dips in brightness — a sign of a planet passing in front of the star. The planet — known as Kepler-37b —

orbits a star 210 light years away in the constellation Lyra. It’s one of three known planets in that solar system.

Discoverer Thomas Barclay of the NASA Ames Research Center in Northern California was so excited when he spied the moon-sized planet that for days, he said he recited the “Star Wars’’ movie line: “That’s no moon.’’ It took more than a year and an international team to confirm that it was a bona fide planet.

Scientists are looking

for an Earth-size planet that’s in the so-called Goldilocks zone — that sweet spot that’s not too hot and not too cold where water, which is essential for life, could exist on the surface.

While the newly discovered planet isn’t it, “that does not detract from the fact that this is yet another mile marker along the way to habitable Earth-like planets,’’ said Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, who was not part of the discovery team.

Mars rover prepares to analyze powder from first rock drill Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Fresh off drilling into a rock for the first time, the Mars rover Curiosity is prepping for the next step — dissecting the pulverized rock to determine what it’s made of.

NASA said Wednesday it received confirmation that Curiosity successfully collected a tablespoon of powder from the drilling two weeks ago and was poised to transfer a pinch to its onboard laboratories. It’s the first

time a spacecraft has bored into a rock on Mars to retrieve a sample from the interior.

The analysis is expected to take days to complete.

If all goes smoothly, scientists will focus next on driving the sixwheel rover to Mount Sharp, its ultimate science destination. Curiosity landed in an ancient crater last summer to study whether the environment could have been favourable for microbes.

E. coli found in frozen burgers triggers widespread beef recall L aur a Jakobschuk Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Health officials are investigating another massive cross-country beef recall after frozen burgers sold by Canada Safeway Ltd. tested positive for E. coli bacteria.

Health officials are testing several Safeway brand burgers including Gourmet Meat Shoppe Big & Juicy Burger, Gourmet Meat Shoppe Prime Rib Burger and Butcher’s Cut Beef Patties sold in packages of 10, 20 and 40.

The burgers were produced on one single day on Aug. 14, 2012 at the Cardinal Meat Specialists plant in Brampton, Ont. The burgers have a best-before date of Aug. 14, 2013.

The plant will continue to operate during the investigation. Cardi-

nal is the biggest meat producer in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

“They’ve taken the precautionary action of recalling all the products produced on the line for that day and we’re continuing to work with them in the investigation,’’ said Paul Mayers, associate vice-president of programs at CFIA. Federal inspectors are examining retail samples of the products and received a positive response for E. coli.

The investigation was sparked after two people in Ontario and Manitoba became ill and tested positive for E. coli on Feb. 13.

British neighbourhood appeals for return of Banksy mural JILL L AWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — A London neighbourhood wants its Banksy back.

A stencil by the famed but secretive graffiti artist of a young boy sewing Union Jack bunting on an antique sewing machine appeared on the side of a north London bargain store last May. Soon the gritty Turnpike Lane area was drawing art lovers keen to see Banksy’s typically cheeky take on the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the British throne.

Last week it vanished, leaving nothing but a rectangle of exposed brick — only to reappear on the website of a Miami auction house. Listed as “Slave Labor (Bunting Boy),’’ it is due to be sold Saturday with an estimated price of between $500,000 and $700,000.

London authorities concede the sale is probably legal — the mural was on private property. But they hope moral pressure will make the auction house change its mind. “(It’s) totally unethical that something so valued should be torn without warning from its community context,’’ local lawmaker Lynne Featherstone said.

Featherstone said she had asked the building’s owner for an explanation, but had yet to receive a reply. Poundland, the store that occupies the building, said it had nothing to do with the removal.

On Wednesday, the local government authority appealed to the auctioneer for the return of the work.

In an open letter to auction house chief Frederic Thut, Haringey Council called the artwork “a much-loved local landmark’’ that had been visited by people from around the world.

“We understand that there may be nothing illegal in the way this artwork was quietly removed from our streets and put up for auction by you in Miami,’’ the letter said.

“But for you to allow it to be sold for huge profit in this way would be morally wrong, and completely contrary to the spirit in which we believe it was given to

tails. It said in a statement that it had “done all the necessary due diligence about the ownership of the work.’’

“Unfortunately we are not able to provide you with any information by law and contract about any details of this consignment,’’ it said.

“We are more than happy to do so if you can prove that the works were acquired and removed illegally.’’

The anonymous

street artist, who refuses to reveal his real name, began his career spray-painting buildings and bridges in his home city of Bristol in southwest England. His often satirical images include two policemen kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words “Laugh now, but one day I’ll be in charge.’’

Original Banksy works now sell for up to

hundreds of thousands of dollars and the artist has become an international celebrity. He has created sequences for “The Simpsons’’ and directed an Academy Award-nominated documentary, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.’’

His works are still sometimes obliterated by zealous local officials, street cleaners or taken off buildings along with a chunk of wall for private sale.

Councilor Alan Strickland said the work had become “a real symbol of local pride’’ in an area badly hit in England’s August 2011 riots. He said its disappearance had left residents “shocked and

angry.’’

Strickland said he had asked England’s Arts Council for help retrieving the work.

The government-funded council called the loss of the Banksy “a shame,’’ but said there was little it

could do. The council has the power to stop the export of culturally significant artworks, but only if they are more than 50 years old.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you are able to avoid a difficult person, you could have a nearly perfect day. Accomplish what you must, but take some time for yourself. Schedule an appointment or a checkup. Include some exercise, or take a walk if you can. Tonight: Run an important errand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity comes forth, which brings you many opportunities. Honor what is happening around you, and find the space to incorporate more of a specific experience into your life. You will feel better as a result. Tonight: Act like this is the beginning of your weekend.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. I have been dating “Brianna” for 10 months.

She graduated last year and attended a community college, but really had no ambition or motivation to be there. We spent last summer together, and I honestly fell head over heels in love with her.

Here’s the problem. I have been accepted to many colleges out of town. It has always been my dream to go away to school. I told Brianna it wouldn’t be fair to either of us to stay together while I am away, but I want us to be together as much as possible until then. Ever since I mentioned this to Brianna, however, things haven’t been the same.

We’ve been arguing a lot.

Brianna’s dad left when she was 12, and she’s still crushed by it. She doesn’t get along well with her family and tells me I’m all she has. She says when I go away to school, I’ll be leaving her just like everybody else.

Now I feel nothing but guilt when I think about college. I want us to enjoy our time together as much as possible. I want Brianna to be my date for my senior prom, but I don’t want her to think I’m simply using her. It’s not true. She is the only person I want by my side.

Annie, do you think it’s fair that we’re staying together now even though we’re most likely breaking up when I leave for college? I want the full college experience, and I know a long-distance relationship will be miserable, because Brianna and I argue constantly via text messages when we’re only 10 minutes away. Have I made the right decision?

-- College Bound and Confused Dear College Bound: Whether or not to stay together until the end of the summer is up to Brianna, too. If she can handle it, wishing you well, it’s a solid idea, and you can plan to see each other over winter break.

But if Brianna feels you are abandoning her, she may try to hold you hostage emotionally, pressuring you to alter your plans. That will only create hard feelings and resentment all around. Talk to Brianna and ask what she wants to do, but be firm about your future.

Good luck.

Dear Annie: Last June, a co-worker committed suicide. The staff and I were extremely devastated. No one saw it coming. Now, all these months later, two of my best friends at work have decided to get a tribute tattoo in this person’s honor.

These friends were not particularly close to this co-worker, and this is the first death they have personally experienced. I know everyone deals with death in their own way, but they barely knew the co-worker who died.

Our entire group of friends thinks this tattoo is a bad idea. We all want to say something, but don’t know what. -- Tattoo Troubles Dear Troubles: We think these two are looking for a way to honor their late co-worker.

If you can recommend a better tribute (e.g., working for a suicide prevention hotline, Survivors of Suicide, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising funds for suicide awareness), you could suggest it as being more meaningful. But ultimately, how they choose to decorate their bodies is up to them.

Dear Annie: “No Longer Compatible” said she isn’t attracted to her husband because he stopped bathing and has bad breath, a beer belly and sinus issues. Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn’t conferred with the vows.

Has she actually told him what she wants from him? He may be relieved that better hygiene can fix the issue.

My second husband wore a size 54 belt. I pretended modesty and wanted the lights out, but really didn’t care to see his body. But he was an excellent lover because his most important organ was his brain. He tried to please and was completely unselfconscious.

Obituaries Norman Allan Blaine November 11, 1940 -February 7, 2013

We are saddened to announce the passing of Norman Allan Blaine (aka, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stormin Normanâ&#x20AC;? & â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blinkâ&#x20AC;?). He is survived by his daughter, Kristi, sonin-law, Kevin and his two very special grandchildren, Kylea and Kameron. Norm was born in Cranbrook, BC and spent many years of his life there, working for CMHC. He then moved to Kelowna BC, where he worked as assistant manager with CMHC for many years. In 2004, Norman fulfilled his life-long dream, to live on the open road. He found himself a motorhome and travelled for the next 6 years across the United States and Western Canada, with his beloved dogs in tow. Norm will be remembered for his generosity, love of animals and his uncanny ability to tell a great story and deliver a joke, better than anyone! There will be no funeral service by request. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebration of Normâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lifeâ&#x20AC;? will be held later in the spring in Cranbrook, BC. To receive information on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration of Lifeâ&#x20AC;? please email nblink1940@gmail.com

Thomas (Tom) Montague, Oldham Conway March 20, 1919 February 17, 2013

It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nursing Home in Edmonton on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at the age of 93. He was reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, May, who passed away on Dec. 9, 1996.

Tom was born on March 20, 1919 on a farm near Lloydminster Saskatchewan, where he grew up and received his education. Tom met May, the love of his life, and they married on July 17, 1943. They farmed in Lloydminster area till 1952. They resided in Irma, Alberta and also spent nine years in Blairmore, Alberta where he was the pastor in a small church with the Canadian Sunday School Mission and worked independently for McGavin/Toastmaster. They moved to Kimberley, BC, for five years and then in 1971 moved to Cranbrook where he continued this work until retirement. He and May owned and operated the Flamingo Motel in Cranbrook. Tom was an active member in the Cranbrook Alliance Church and served as a board member and elder for many years. He moved to Edmonton for his remaining years, to spend time with his special friend, Audrey Grant, who he knew from his youth. He whistled everywhere he went, often his favourite hymns and loved to share jokes from his repertoire. He eagerly shared his faith with those he met along lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pathway. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sadly missed by his children, their families and many friends. He leaves to mourn four daughters, Carole Thom (Bruce), Dianne McKay (Doug), Sylvia Leasak (John), Norma Juozaitis (Francis), and one son Gary Conway (Kyra), eleven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Tom was predeceased by his wife May, brother Jack and sister Mary.

Following a private internment, there will be a memorial service for Tom at the Cranbrook Alliance Church on Monday, February 25, 2013 at 12:00. In lieu of flower, donations can be made to His Hope Uganda, c/o Gary Toyoto, 2909 - 2 St. S., Cranbrook, BC, V1C 5B6
