Nature Park Society wants pictures of people at play in park C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Noweata Schofer and Andy Bamber present Mike Erwin with $1225 to help bring Jenna home. The money was raised by Thursday evening Edge Pub patrons, the last donation they will be making as the popular pub will be closing its doors in March. Over $35,000 was raised for Kimberley causes over the past six years on Thursdays, thanks to the efforts of Schofer and Bamber. Mike accepted on behalf of Jenna and her family and said they have been overwhelmed and amazed by the constant support from the people of Kimberley.

The Kimberley Nature Park Society last produced a trail guide in 2009, and those have just about run out. It’s time to produce another map the KNPS would like those who enjoy the park to give them a hand.

“Things have changed in the Park,” said Society member Kent Goodwin. “We have new trails, revised trails and we want to catch those, and other small changes, in a new trail guide. We’d like to refresh it with new pictures

too.”

To get those pictures, the KNPS will turn to those who recreate in the park.

“We want the photos to be from the Nature Park or Horsebarn Valley. Even if it’s a picture of a flower, we want it to be from the Park. We want to be honest about what the park is,” Goodwin said.

The new trail guide will feature pictures of special areas, flora and fauna, and hopefully include a lot of photos of people enjoying themselves in the Park — hiking, biking, walking their dogs.

Quite a number of photos are required, as in addition to being a trail map, the back of the guide has all kinds of information about the Park, its features and special places.

SHELTERBOX

Rotary continues to rely on Kimberley donations ShelterBox’s one day response to eight world wide disasters FOR THE BULLETIN

Recently ShelterBox had eight deployments simultaneously in various parts of the world, the most ever at one time for ShelterBox in its twelve year history. Many of these disasters are not high profile and do not receive much media attention; however the

need is enormous. In the past four years, thanks primarily to the compassion of Kimberley donors, the Kimberley Rotary Club has purchased 77 ShelterBoxes that have provided shelter and hope to 770 individuals in need around the world.

In February alone deployments were rushed to the Philippines, Guatemala, Haiti, Syrian Refuges, Jordan, Mozambique, Australia and North Korea. For details as to the disasters that the ShelterBox Response Teams are facing, go to www.shelterboxcan-

ada.org. Their current newsletter includes horrendous individual stories from Syrian refugees.

One ShelterBox containing a ten-person tent, stove, water containers with purification tablets, cooking equipment, tool kit, children’s activity pack, mosquito nets, woollen mitts, scarves, toques and waterproof ground mats, costs $1,000 and includes shipping to anywhere in the world.

Donations may be made at Kootenay Savings Credit Union (KSCU) in Kimberley

simply by making your cheque payable to Kimberley Rotary Club. Grubstake Pizza is authorized to receive local donations. Contributions can also be made online to ShelterBox Canada at www.shelterboxcanada. org. Donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt. You may track online where the box you helped pay for was deployed. For further information contact Graham Mann at 250 427 5057 or gmann@shelterboxvolunteer.org.

A well-known photographer, conservationist and wilderness guide will be giving a public presentation in Kimberley and Cranbrook on his knowledge and experiences in the northern Rockies of B.C.

“The Muskwa-Kechika is North America’s most important area for large animals, both for numbers, and for species,” Sawchuck said. “This place of spectacular beauty faces

threats from natural gas development, wind power, forestry and mining, yet it remains almost unknown outside of northern BC.” Sawchuck grew up working in his family’s logging business in northern British Columbia.

On the off season, he would explore the Rockies and the Boreal forests with his friends and his horses, and document his experiences.

These days he leads wilderness expeditions on horseback, into the Muskwa-Kechika. He has written a book about the area, Muskwa-Kechika: The Wild Heart of Canada’s Northern Rockies. He has

Drug arrests in Cranbrook Two drug search warrants executed FOR THE BULLETIN

On February 15, Cranbrook RCMP executed two search warrants under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. Two residences were searched, one on Anderson Crescent and the other on 8th Ave South in Cranbrook.

As a result police located and seized close to 13 grams of cocaine, a

quantity of cash and items associated with trafficking. One male was arrested and will appear in Cranbrook Court in April. He is facing charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.

The investigations are continuing and there could be further arrests.

Cocaine is typically sold in one half and one gram quantities, so this represents several sales and would not be considered personal use.

And a new cover photo is being sought as well.

“We can’t use every one, but we thank everyone for sending them in.”

The Kimberley RCMP are continually receiving calls about potential frauds. It’s very difficult for police to investigate these instances as they generally originate in a foreign country and use box numbers and fake names.

The best advice is don’t fall for anything and do your research.

But even the best research may not help.

The fraudster had the addresses to the outlets (obviously obtained on the internet) and directed the subject to send money back. Of course the original cheque was no good. We’ve blanked out the names and addresses on the cheque as the fraudster had

used a legitimate company name. The company had no connection to this at all. From what we have found the cheques seem to always been in the amount of $2390.

The object of this scam is to check Western Unions staff to ensure they are processing the transaction properly. Western Union is not a participant in this at all, they are only the outlet the fraudster has chosen to use.

Local NEWS CBAL puts out the welcome mat for newcomers BARRY COULTER Townsman Editor

Another charity favoured by Edge Patrons is the Kimberley Loan Cupboard.

The second last donation went to that worthy organization. Above, Jacquie Perrault accepts $500 from Noweata Schofer.

Those seeking better lives in warm and welcoming communities will do no better than Cranbrook and Kimberley, thanks to some government funding and an intense initiative by a local organization.

The B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour, Citizenship and Immigration Canada this week announced funding to enhance the integration of immigrants into B.C. Communities — part of the Ministry’s Welcoming Communities Program (WCP).

The WelcomeBC funding — $8.5 million for 51 new community projects — supports the creation of local projects and partnerships to make communities more inclusive and welcoming.

Locally, the Colum-

bia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) received $107,000 to help achieve this goal in Cranbrook. Kimberley received a further $80,000 on top of that.

“As immigrants come into the community, we will provide the services (to help them settle and acclimatize),” said Katherine Hough, CBAL Community Literacy Coordinator for Cranbrook.

CBAL moved quickly to establish a broad team of partnerships in Cranbrook and Kimberley and to set up projects to help improve access and services, recruit and train volunteers, and bring local businesses and other organizations on board.

“We pulled together some community focus meetings in January,” Hough said. “Part of (our initiative) is helping newcomers, but also, we asked how do we make our communities more welcoming?”

CBAL therefore has put together a series of partnerships with community groups and businesses, and have several new projects in the works.

• For instance, CBAL Big Brothers and Big Sisters will create a Family Mentoring program, in which volunteer families will be trained to as-

sist newcomers, and then paired with an immigrant family for four to six months. “They will then befriend that family, show them around, introduce them to what living here is all about,” Hough said.

• Production of a video is also planned, which details the immigrant experience in the area. This video will then be shown available to immigrant families and local residents to further mutual understanding.

• Another project is to educate local businesses — not necessarily to hire immigrants, Hough said, but simply to make them more welcome. Hough said the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, on board as a partner, will be conducting these employer workshops in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

• The Cranbrook Food Action Group will be offering a gardening project, which will teach Canadian gardening techniques to newcomers, who may be coming here from radically different biological and climatic zones. Local residents will be welcome to attend these sessions as well.

• A program will be set up to help daycares better accommodate immigrant kids and their families, Hough

said. “Maybe (the newcomers) don’t speak English very well, maybe they don’t really know how daycare works.”

• The Cranbrook Boys & Girls Club has also come on board to do mentoring with immigrant families.

CBAL has set the projects in motion over a very short time window. “We pulled this together over the last few months,” Hough said.

The focus groups were held in January, and the groundwork for the projects is to be in place by the end of March.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2001 to promote literacy and lifelong learning throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions.

The purpose of the Welcoming Communities Program is to build capacity to support the integration of new immigrants. A press release from the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training said a community’s ability to receive immigrants is a critical factor in successful integration, which is integral to addressing B.C.’s labour market and demographic challenges over the next decade.

Cranbrook seeks airport development Public input requested SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook is taking steps to encourage development at Canadian Rockies International Airport.

The city is seeking public input on development permit guidelines for the airport’s industrial and commercial lands, after council gave first reading Monday, February 18 to a bylaw amendment.

“This is the first step in getting our industrial lands developed at the airport which I think is

really important for the future and also in getting other airlines to come to Cranbrook,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski.

A commercial development report prepared

by SNC Lavalin in 2010 on behalf of the city suggests possible businesses that could be located at the airport as tourism, freight and logistics, aircraft repair and manufacturing, professional development and training, research facilities and testing laboratories for aviation related uses, high-tech environmental, natural resource and medical sectors.

Radium, Jumbo to buddy up

Greg Amos Columbia Valley Pioneer

Key staff members at the Village of Radium Hot Springs will soon be filling double roles by also working for the new Jumbo Glacier mountain resort municipality.

Against a backdrop of more than 100 anti-Jumbo protesters from across the Kootenays chanting outside Radium’s village offices, the municipality’s inaugural meeting on Tuesday, February 19th solidified severalaspects of how Jumbo Glacier will work.

All meetings will be held at the Radium office on the third Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m., a time that’s convenient for both Radium staff and Jumbo’s council, consisting of Mayor Greg Deck and councillors Nancy Hugunin and Steve Ostrander. All three were sworn in by Radium chief administrative officer Mark Read to commence the meeting.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he wryly asked Mr. Ostrander, as protesters began pounding on the building’s doors and windows in time with a slogan of “Save democracy”.

At that point, Columbia Valley RCMP Staff Sergeant Marko She-

hovac, who was in the room, called for backup, as protest organizer Bob Campsall went outside to calm down the crowd. Two additional police cars arrived, though no arrests were made.

The new municipality encompasses more than 6,000 hectares in the Jumbo Mountain area located 55 kilometres west of Invermere, where a world-class ski resort is slated to be built on a 104-hectare resort base. The development would include 5,500 bed units, and has faced intense opposition in the region over the 22-year history of the proposed project. The resort would offer year-round glacier skiing at elevations as high as 3,400 metres via 23 ski lifts.

The decision to establish a new municipality in the area, which as yet has no buildings and no population, was made by the province last November.

To keep costs down, the council will earn lower-than-average remuneration. Mayor Greg Deck will be paid $7,500 for each full year, while the two councillors will earn just $5,000 per year.

“You guys are on the bottom of the barrel as far as being paid,” noted temporary administrator

Phil Taylor, who will be replaced

by Mr. Read within months.

“Our constituent load is going to be relatively light,” quipped Mr. Deck in response.

About two dozen protesters were brought to Radium by Nelson’s West Kootenay EcoSociety, who on Monday, February 18th filed an application for a judicial review of the Jumbo municipality on constitutional grounds.

Radium will earn a fee for service in exchange for having their staff members double as the administrator, chief financial officer and corporate officer for Jumbo.

Kootenay Savings Credit Union will be the Jumbo municipality’s official banker, while Vancouver law firm Murdy & McAllister — one of the two B.C. law firms that carry out most of the legal representation for local governments — will advise the new community on legal matters. The Municipal Insurance Association of B.C. will insure the municipality, and offer risk management training to help it avoid claims.

The key shared staff positions between Jumbo and Radium will be that of chief administrative officer, chief financial officer and corporate officer.

Former resident receives medal For the Bulletin

A former resident, Rick Neidig, son of Harold and Leona Neidig of Marysville, recently received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

The medal was awarded by His Honour Col. (Ret’d) the Honourable Donald S. Ethell, Lieutenant Governor on January 18, 2013 in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

In addition, Mr. Neidig received recognition of his achievements from Premier Alison Redford on January 15th in Edmonton.

In his presentation, the Lieutenant Governor cited Mr. Neidig’s dedication, vision and leadership in the education sector. “Rick has been President of Northern Lakes College since 2005 where he has been employed for 36 years. In particular, he has made significant contributions to northern and community-based education, served as a school trustee, and supported education of logging contractors as a board member of the Woodlands Operations Learning Foundation (WOLF).

Over the past five years, Mr. Neidig had a signifi-

cant role in the start-up, leadership and growing success of the Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN). The Alberta Rural Development Network uses the combined expertise of Alberta’s 26 publicly funded post-secondary institutions to support rural development in Alberta.

Northern Lakes College is a publicly funded community college in northern Alberta.

Across a vast region, the College specializes in reaching students in or near their home communities. The College uses distance learning extensively and Mr. Neidig had a significant role in the early implementation of distance learning technologies in the College region.

Upon receiving this recent distinction he said “I am honoured to be recognized with this distinguished medal. I have committed my life’s work toward enhancing and growing educational opportunities in northern Alberta.

Fortunately I was surrounded by exceptional people who shared the vision and worked hard to achieve great things.”

The Diamond Jubi-

lee Medal was created to mark the 60th anniversary of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.

During the year of celebrations, 60,000 deserving Canadians are being recognized for significant contributions and achievements.

After graduating from Selkirk Secondary School in 1973, Rick left the region to pursue his education in Alberta

where he completed three post-secondary credentials including a technical diploma, a teaching degree and an MBA. Mr. Neidig will be retiring in June 2013 and returning to Kimberley to live. He and his wife Paula are building a new home in Forest Crowne.

Just seven months ago, Rick received another award; the Distinguished Alumni Award from MacEwan University in Edmonton.

Airport lands From Page 4 “What began as looking at the master plan for the airport ended up with some recommendations around the zoning,” said Tristen Chernove, managing director of Canadian Rockies International Airport.

“This permitting follows those four phases of development but with a sharp focus on what the market interest might be right now and how we’d like to control what happens out there, fitting with the sustainable image we are trying to portray as the entry point for visiting communities that might be channelling through the airport.

“This was done with a lot of consideration, looking at not only how to be sustainable and put that image forward but not to restrict business opportunities at the same time.

There is quite a bit of flexibility worked in with that in mind.”

The city is seeking input on the development guidelines from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the St. Mary’s Band, the Ktunaxa Nation, and the Regional District of East Kootenay.

LOCAL RESIDENT AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP Three hundred twenty of one thousand UAlberta Augustana Campus students have been awarded scholarships and awards for the 2012-2013 academic year. Receiving the award is Shawn Jacklin, of Kimberley, British Columbia, a fourth year Bachelor of Science student. Shawn was awarded a total of $500 for Hockey, funded by The Canadian Tire Associate Store Camrose Staff Appreciation Award.

Over $519,000 was provided by the University of Alberta and Augustana Campus in recognition of excellence in Academics, Fine Arts, Athletics, and Leadership. Support comes from generous donors, investment earnings on endowments, and from Faculty funded awards.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3764, 2013”.

eorge likes to say that his wife, Fliss, started it all up again. “She gets at me at my lowest ebb, breakfast, before I’ve had a coffee,” he moans. “Why don’t you guys go and cheer up old Charlie?”

George has always known that it is useless to differ with Felicity’s ideas.

Oh! He can duck and weave and defer and forget, but she’ll remember that he ‘promised’ to do so and so.

Anyway, while he, Malc and I were leaning on a fence doing nothing, George brought up the subject of the cheerless Charlie Noone. “The old fart’s getting worse,” he told us. “Fliss reckons he’ll kill himself if we don’t cheer him up some.”

Malc and I pondered the problem of Charlie Noone who, unfortunately, since school days, has been labelled Charlie No one, and has since been inclined to be extremely morose.

So he was not truly impressed when Malc and I, two of his closest friends, his boon companions, especially in adversity, through thick and thin, drove round on

Malc’s new – to him, that is – dirt bike because we’d opted to cheer him up. I don’t recall him even cracking a smile until we were leaving.

To start with, even before all Hades broke out in his miserable existence, Charlie always managed to act as if he’d had a charisma by-pass early in his career and maybe this, maybe, why his wife had left him some years back saying that she’d prefer to be known as a ‘someone’ for a change. She’d taken the family Buick with her, leaving Charlie with a rattle-trap Ford and an even more sullen scowl.

We discovered Charlie bent over some dandelions Peter in his garden, which, inciWarland dentally, would never be mistaken for a World Heritage Site. He stood up, straightened his back and commented in that joyless way of his, “Oh! Hell. Not you again?” Then: “Only two of you. You look like something the wheels’ve come off.

Where’s Larry, or is it Moe, the other Stooge?” He has an acerbic sense of what he calls humour.

“We’ve come to cheer you up,” said Malc bravely. “George is back home getting stuff ready. We’re going up the Estella Mine, then up on to the ridge.”

“On that?” asked Charlie, peering over the ratty hedge at the dirt bike. Then: “So Moe is organizing another bout of chaos, eh?”

“George has got his G.M.C. all fixed up, room for all four of us,” explained Malc, sounding really enthusiastic.

Charlie actually went pale. He then proceeded to remind us, slowly and carefully, how the last time we’d all ventured in George’s vehicle into the Rockies, it had stalled at every other puddle in the road and each time the distributor had to be cleaned, how we’d got stuck in a mud- hole up the vehicle’s axles and had to be wrestled clear with a jack-all that not one of us knew how to operate and how, when, way out in the back of nowhere, George managed to get a flat and he discovered that he didn’t own a tire-iron. “I’d be barking mad to come with you idiots,” said Charlie.

“I’ll be there; you’ll be in good hands,” I assured him.

“Trouble is: they’re not attached to a brain, far as I can see,” snapped Charlie. He can be really vicious when he wants.

“Seems I’m the one that gets hurt, gets muddy all over, and doesn’t get no lunch.

No thanks.”

And that was that.

Malc and I got astride the dirt bike. The motor started first kick then the clutch cable snapped. A hint of a smile replaced the scowl on Charlie’s face. Malc swore a great oath, revved the motor, then slammed the bike into gear. He took off in a cloud of blue smoke; I fell off the back.

I think we did manage to cheer Charlie up just a smidgen that day.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Modifications needed

Dear City Of Cranbrook; I’m writing this letter on behalf of my mom and anyone else with walking disabilities. The reason I’m writing this letter is because I know what it is like to know someone with walking disabilities, and seeing them trying to get up and down the steps/stairs of the Western Financial Place.

One thing that would help this problem is putting railings in the middle of the steps/stairs. This would help many people and young children, even if some people don’t use the railings, people with disabilities and the elderly will use them. More elderly people may sit at the bottom of the arena to see more of the game.

Another thing that has been a problem for my mom and family is the handicap seating. My mom has a legal handicap tag for the province of BC. We asked the people at the Kootenay Ice main office for handicap seating for my mom, but were declined because she was not in a wheelchair. The reason we asked for this was because she can’t get up and down the stairs like all the other people in the arena.

I’m only 15 and I am very concerned about my mom’s and other people’s safety.

This is the only way I know how to help people I don’t know or love. Handrails would help a lot of people in Cranbrook or visitors from other towns or cities. Thank you for the opportunity to write how I feel about this problem.

Dissent isn’t criminal

Re: Mayor on cull: `They’re not our deer’, Feb. 20.

It is not that the deer are “owned” by the province, but that they are “managed” by the province, often in accordance to the wishes of municipalities. Through Cranbrook’s own actions, it appears their wish has been to kill because it was easiest to do that and to do it quickly without having to listen to at least half of Cranbrook’s population who do not a cull - All of this despite the proven wasteful and inhumane ineffectiveness of that method.

When I served on the Cranbrook Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee (CUDMAC), I tried to bring forth the “try other deer management techniques.” From my perspective I was routinely mocked and antagonized by a few key members. To add insult, I was booted off CUDMAC in December 2012 after serving six short months.

It is particularly disingenuous of Mayor Stetski to say they could have “done a better job as council in communication with the public around the deer cull” when in fact they appear to have violated the Community Charter by holding meetings closed to the public when there was no legal rationale for doing so.

He cites “safety concerns” for residents “who might want to have a trap in their yard as a result of this process” and contractors. That implies that those of us of the BCDPC who dare speak out against the cull are a threat. We are not. We have broken no laws, do not intend to break

any laws, and resent any implication to the contrary.

We should have the right to dissent without it being implied that we are criminals. The “issues in Invermere last year” that he cites, apparently relate to a person damaging a trap to release a very distressed buck who had been captured during the day – which contravened the culling contract requirements. After getting no response from authorities to deal with the distressed buck who had severely injured himself thrashing about in the trap, the concerned citizen decided to free the animal so it didn’t suffer any further. Anything else is unsubstantiated personal opinion which paints all animal advocates with the same brush – that of being criminals.

We have no problem with reducing the deer population in Cranbrook, but the process must be done intelligently, humanely, and effectively. The net result following the combination of both culling and other forms of deer mortality have, according to best evidence, been a net increase in the number of deer in the urban areas, as we have predicted.

The Mayor claims he wants people to understand how much they have struggled with the issue. In fact, culling has always been the default position. And people in a supposedly free and democratic society can never understand that which is done in secrecy.

The tragic fate of ‘Prisoner X’

B

en Alon, Ben Allen and Benjamin Burroughs are dead. So is Benjamin Zygier, an Australian Zionist who moved to Israel in the 1990s and became an Israeli citizen. He then adopted the curious custom of flying back to Australia at fairly frequent intervals to change his name (Australia lets its citizens change their names once every twelve months). And every time, Zygier would take out an Australian passport in his new name.

The reason, it turns out, was that he had been recruited by Mossad, the Israeli external intelligence agency, to supply it with Australian passports for use in its foreign operations. So far, nothing new. Israel has been compelled at various times to apologise to the British, Canadian and Australian governments, among others, for using the passports of Israelis with dual citizenship in its various clandestine operations abroad.

But then the Israeli government arrested Zygier, and held him in solitary confinement until he committed suicide in his cell in late 2010. It has taken until now for the story to get out because Zygier’s imprisonment without trial was treated as a state secret.

Even his jailers were not allowed to know the name of “Prisoner X” or the reason he was being held – and after his death the Israeli government went to extreme lengths to keep the whole affair secret, even threatening Israeli editors with fines or jail if they reported on it.

What could he have known or done to merit such treatment?

The likely answer is that the Mossad

hit team that murdered Palestinian leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January, 2010 used one or more of Zygier’s passports, and he started to get cold feet. Especially since around the same time the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation woke up and had a little chat with him about his multiple name changes.

So did Zygier just lose his nerve and confess the passport scam to the ASIO? That would annoy Gwynne his Israeli employers, but not so much that they Dyer would turn him into “Prisoner X”. The Australian government would complain through diplomatic channels, the Israeli government would solemnly promise not to do it again, and Mossad would just carry on as if nothing had happened.

Israel regularly spies on the United States, its greatest ally, and then shamelessly lobbies Congress to get its convicted spies released, so it’s obviously not going to worry about offending the Australians. But what if the ASIO turned Zygier into a double agent, and pumped him for information on Israeli “black” operations?

Whatever. The point is not Zygier’s personal tragedy, or even Israel’s misuse of the passports of its friends and allies in its black ops. It is rather that all this Boy’s Own cloak-and-dagger stuff is profoundly foolish. Or at least the dagger part is.

When Mossad occupies itself in gathering intelligence and doing strategic analysis, it does good work. For example, it has been successful so far in its attempts to talk Binyamin Netanyahu’s

government out of launching an extremely ill-advised attack on Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons ambitions. But Mossad’s assassination programme is a long-running disaster.

Sometimes it kills the wrong person, as when it murdered an innocent Moroccan waiter in Norway whom it mistook for one of those responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. But what enemy of Israel was deterred, what further attack on Israel was prevented, by Mossad’s success in hunting down and killing more than a dozen other people whom it suspected of being involved in that atrocity?

When five Mossad agents, travelling on Canadian passports, poisoned Khaled Meshaal, then head of Hamas’s political bureau, in Amman in 1997, it nearly wrecked Jordan’s peace treaty with Israel, and in the end Israel had to come up with an antidote for the poison. Canada even withdrew its ambassador from Israel for a time.

And when it murdered Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai three years ago, just three days after the first-ever visit by an Israeli cabinet minister to the United Arab Emirates, it put a promising detente between the two countries into the deep freeze indefinitely.

The whole wig-and-fake-passport nonsense is worse than a distraction from Mossad’s real job. It is self-indulgent and counter-productive. And often, when innocent bystanders are killed in these operations, it is criminal. You know, like those US drone strikes that kill innocent bystanders every month.

Johnson cruises to Daytona 500 win JENNA FRYER Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A big first for Danica Patrick, but an even bigger second for Jimmie Johnson.

Patrick made history up front at the Daytona 500 Sunday, only to see Johnson make a late push ahead of her and reclaim his spot at the top of his sport.

It was the second Daytona 500 victory for Johnson, a five-time NASCAR champion who first won “The Great American Race” in 2006.

“There is no other way to start the season than to win the Daytona 500. I’m a very lucky man to have won it twice,” said Johnson, who won in his 400th career start. “I’m very honoured to be on that trophy with all the greats that have ever been in our sport.”

It comes a year after Johnson completed only one lap in the race because of a wreck that also collected Patrick, and just three months after Johnson lost his bid for a sixth Sprint Cup title to go two years without a champion-

ship after winning five straight.

Patrick, the first woman to win the pole, also became the first woman to lead the race.

She was running third on the last lap, but faded to eighth at the finish and admitted she’ll replay it over in her mind.

“I would imagine pretty much anyone would be kicking themselves about what they coulda, shoulda have done to give themselves an opportunity to win,” she said. “I think that’s what I was feeling today, was uncertainty as to how I was going to accomplish that.”

There were several multi-car crashes during the race, none approaching the magnitude of the wreck that injured more than two dozen fans a day earlier in the second-tier Nationwide Series race on the same track. Daytona International Speedway workers were up until 2 a.m repairing the fence that was damaged in the accident, and track officials offered Sunday morning to move any fans who felt uneasy sitting too close to the track.

Heat topple Cavaliers for 11th straight win TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press

MIAMI - Dwyane Wade got hot down the stretch, and LeBron James missed a layup in the final minute.

Both were huge breaks for the Miami Heat.

James scored 28 points, Wade scored 11 of his 24 in the final five minutes - when Miami needed him most - and the Heat extended the NBA’s longest current winning streak to 11 games, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-105 in a back-andforth matchup Sunday night.

The Heat blew a 22point second-half lead then rallied from eight down with 5:16 left.

“We’re a veteran ballclub and we’ve been in every situation that an NBA game can offer

us,” James said. “We don’t get too high, we don’t get too low, we just play the 48 minutes out and see where it takes us.”

Dion Waiters scored 26 points, C.J. Miles added 19 and Kyrie Irving scored 17 for Cleveland, which outscored Miami by a stunning 30 points over a 17-minute stretch of the second half, yet still came up empty.

The Cavaliers are now 1-8 against the Heat since James signed with Miami in July 2010.

“We had a very good chance against a very good basketball team, the world champions, and we lost the game because of mental mistakes,” Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said. “That’s just something that we can’t have happen again.”

Kootenay Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau attempts to pounce on a loose puck in the crease during a game against the Calgary Hitmen on Saturday evening at Western Financial Place.

Ice collect big points with two wins Kootenay now chasing Swift Current for seventh place in Eastern Conference

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice extended their win streak to four straight victories by shutting out the Hurricanes 2-0 on the road on Sunday evening.

Kootenay was riding high off a 5-1 shellacking of the Calgary Hitmen at Western Financial Place the night before as the club tied a franchise record at 12 consecutive home wins.

With the win over the ‘Canes, the Ice have now opened up a five-point cushion between themselves and Lethbridge, which are now on the

outside of the playoffs and looking in.

Kootenay is a single point behind the Swift Current Broncos for seventh place, and have the luxury of a game in hand.

“When you win and get those points, especially in a division game, it’s always huge and we’ll have to enjoy that work tonight and then it’s back to work, because we still want to close some ground on some other teams,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

Kootenay came out guns blazing in the first

period against the ‘Canes, putting 20 shots on Ty Rimmer, while the opposition only mustered five shots in return.

“We got a couple powerplays early and had some chances at the net and obviously, Ty Rimmer is a quality goaltender, so you got to make sure you bury your chances in tight, and it just seemed like we couldn’t bury on him early,” said Kletzel.

Jon Martin got hit from behind by Josh Derko and had to leave the game. Jeff Hubic went in to dispense pu-

gilistic justice, and the two tussled for a bit.

Martin was checked out in the dressing room and eventually returned to the game.

The two teams held each other scoreless in the first frame, but the game broke open in the middle frame, when the tandem of Jaedon Descheneau and Sam Reinhart teamed up once again.

Reinhart dished off the puck from behind the net to Descheneau in the slot, who banged in 20th goal of the season.

Lethbridge got des-

perate in the third period, but Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski slammed the door on any scoring chances.

“When we needed a save, he was there to help us out and when a goalie gets a shutout, it shows he had a really strong game,” said Kletzel.

Descheneau scored an empty netter from behind the red line in the final minute of the game to notch his sixth goal over the last three games.

Road troubles hit Canucks with 8-3 loss to Red Wings ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT - Less than 30 hours after being burdened with a five-game losing skid, the Detroit Red Wings are suddenly headed in the other direction.

Damien Brunner had two goals and two assists, and Joakim Andersson scored twice for the Red Wings in an 8-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.

The Red Wings ended their

losing streak with a 4-0 win over Nashville on Saturday night and then followed it up with a rout of the Canucks.

“This was a tough game.

You’re playing at 5:00 after playing a 7:00 the night before,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “It’s one on your schedule you look at, you don’t know if you’ll have an opportunity to win. We feel real fortunate to have gotten back-to-back wins.”

Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall had a goal and two assists each, Daniel Cleary added a goal and an assist, and Jordin Tootoo also scored for Detroit, which netted three power-play goals in the second period to take the lead.

“Of course the team that didn’t play the night before had more energy. It’s natural, but you’ve just got to keep it simple and not get caught out there for a long time,” Zetterberg, the

Red Wings captain, said. “We did that today and we got some goals on the power play, and that helps.”

Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Ericsson added two assists, and Jimmy Howard made 18 saves.

Daniel Sedin had two goals, and Chris Higgins also had a goal for Vancouver. Henrik Sedin had two assists, and Roberto Luongo stopped 20 shots but lost in regulation for the first time this season.

Nitros on the brink of elimination

Dynamiters get into penalty trouble as Rockets power their way to a 3-0 series stranglehold Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Nitros are on the brink of elimination from the KIJHL playoffs following two losses over the weekend to the Golden Rockets.

The Rockets scored seven powerplay goals and beat the Dynamiters 12-2 on Friday in Golden, and followed up with a 7-3 win on Saturday at the Civic Centre in Kimberley.

Golden is now up three games in the series, with the fourth matchup happening Monday evening in Kimberley.

The Dynamiters had a parade to the penalty box on Friday, as the Nitros gave up 16 power play opportunities, including a five-minute major infraction.

Despite the blowout, it was the Nitros that struck first less than a minute into the game, with a marker from Eric Buckley.

However, the Rockets would respond with

four goals—two on the powerplay—by the end of the frame.

Golden kept up the pressure in the second period with the same results in the first—four goals, two of which were scored with the man-advantage.

The Nitros managed to get one by the end of the period, on an unassisted effort by Dylan Sibbald.

Golden’s special teams continued to rampage in the third period, as three more goals were scored on the power play, while another was a shorthanded.

The Rockets put 42 shots in total on net between Jeremy Mousseau and Matthew

Mitchell, who shared duties for the game.

James Leonard stood in goal for the Rockets and turned away 29 shots.

Golden came down to Kimberley on Saturday and spoiled the Nitros’ playoff debut on home ice, skating away with a 7-3 win at the Civic Centre.

The Rockets led 5-3 after two periods, and scored another pair of goals in the final frame to prevent a Kimberley comeback.

Golden scored a trio of goals in the first period, but the Nitros responded with markers from Jason Richter and Matt Gann by the end of the opening 20 minutes.

Kimberley tied it up in the second period on a goal from Darren Martin, but the Rockets managed to add another pair of goals to regain the lead.

It was more of the same in the third period, as Golden got on

Homan beats Jones 9-6 to win Scotties Gregory Strong Canadian Press

KINGSTON, Ont. Ontario’s Rachel Homan showed her mettle as a skip and her skills as a team leader Sunday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Her efforts paid off with a 9-6 win over Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones and her first national women’s curling title.

Homan helped calm teammate Lisa Weagle after she accidentally burned a rock in the fifth end. It could have been disastrous for a young team against an experienced four-time champion in Jones.

But the play didn’t faze the Ontario rink.

Weagle responded with excellent sweeping to help Homan draw to the button to cap the end and maintain the team’s momentum.

Ontario would put up three points in the seventh and stole two more in the eighth to put the game out of reach.

“It’s the final game, so if you’re not going to stick together, it’s not going to work,” Homan said. “Win or lose, I’m just so proud of our team.”

Homan and her Otta-

wa Curling Club team of Weagle, Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and alternate Stephanie Drew will represent Canada at next month’s world women’s curling championship in Riga, Latvia.

The 23-year-old Homan displayed steely determination all week.

She dropped just a single game in the round robin - to Jones - and beat her twice in a row in the playoffs.

The Ontario skip hugged her teammates and coach after the victory and was overcome with emotion while speaking to reporters after the win. She had to pause on occasion as tears of joy welled in her eyes.

“I can’t even comprehend what just happened right now,” Homan said. “It’s unbelievable.”

The partisan crowd at the K-Rock Centre roared its approval in the opening end as Homan jumped out to an early lead. Jones crashed on a guard and Homan made a nice draw to score three.

Jones cut into the lead by scoring one in the second end and adding another single in the fourth.

Play was delayed for a couple minutes in the fifth end when Weagle’s broom accidentally made contact with a stone at the 12-foot. The stone was raised by the broom and the rock actually popped up in the air when the thrown stone made contact with it.

“I just kind of lost track of where I was on the sheet,” Weagle said.

“I knew we had to sweep it hard, so I tried to get in an extra brush stroke that I shouldn’t have and my broom got wedged in there.”

Two displaced stones

had to be returned to their original spots and the Ontario stone was taken out of play. Weagle smiled it off but she appeared more anxious after the error.

“She’s a pretty level-headed person but it can definitely get the better of you if your teammates aren’t on your side,” Homan said. “I think she was maybe a little bit nervous about that but we backed her 100 per cent. We were right behind her.”

The Ontario skip came through with a draw on her final shot for a 4-2 lead.

“It’s her leadership that’s starting to get better and her ability to call a game really well,” said Ontario coach Earle Morris. “And that would be a good example of it right there.”

Jones tied the game with a double in the sixth end but Homan regained the lead in the seventh.

She cleared out two Manitoba stones from the eight-foot with her first shot. Jones was heavy with her final throw, leaving Homan with a draw to score three and the crowd erupted when she nailed it for a 7-4 lead.

Buchy punches ticket to provincials Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Kimberley skip Tom Buchy and his team of mixed curlers punched their ticket to the provincials this weekend after clinching one of the qualifying spots during zone playdowns in Nelson.

Buchy, who teams up with his wife, Lori, joins Dave and Robyn Toffolo for another run at provincials.

The three won the event last year and took

their third trip as a team to the Canadian national event. Dave Toffolo has been at the tournament four times, however, his fourth was with a different team.

Team Buchy opened with a 9-4 win over fellow Kimberlite Gord Rowe and his team.

That pitted them against Castlegar’s Myron Nichol, who ended up beating the Kimberley team 7-6 by scoring a double in the final end to take the first

qualifying spot.

That loss dropped them into the game for the second qualifier, where they faced Donald Bedard out of Grand Forks, and the Buchy team managed to get it done with a 6-3 win.

The Vancouver Curling Club will host the mixed provincial championship in March. Ottawa will welcome curlers from across the country for the national championship in November.

Hitmen, ‘Canes unable to handle hot Kootenay squad Continued from page 8 Kootenay earlier took out the Hitmen 5-1 on Saturday at Western Financial Place.

Both Brock Montgomery and Levi Cable had a goal and an assist each to lead the team to the win, while Skapski made 27 saves.

The two teams were scoreless in the first frame, but the Ice took a second period lead off of goals from Cable and Jakub Prochazka.

Pavlo Padakin made it a one-goal game in the third period, but Montgomery responded in the latter half of the period, tipping a shot from Joey Leach.

Descheneau picked off a rebound from Tanner Faith at the point, and Jordyn Boyd put away an empty netter just outside the blue line on an offside draw.

It was Faith’s return to the bench after missing the last 12 games with an upper-body injury.

“It’s awesome to get

back out there and not be up in the stands doing the computer,” laughed Faith. “I like being out there with the boys and especially to get a win, is awesome.”

Faith returned back to his spot alongside the team captain on the blue line.

“He missed a bit of time, but it’s great to have him back out there tonight,” said Leach.

Next action for the Ice will be another road game in Medicine Hat against the Tigers on Wednesday.

ICE NOTES: The team raised $6,155 during it’s annual Jersey off the Back fundraiser for the Kootenay Ice education fund.

The white jerseys, which were auctioned off in a silent auction, will be handed out to the winning bidders at the end of the season.

Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk’s jersey sold for the most money, with a $600 bid.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband criticizes me all the time. He also says the nastiest, most hurtful things when we argue. I have been called a slut and a troublemaker and threatened about almost everything. I don’t believe he feels bad about the way he treats me, and even when I tell him how painful it is, he continues to do it.

We all have made mistakes in our past, but he paints himself as the most innocent and pure person alive. Because of all of this, I find it hard to be intimate with him.

My husband tells me he says these things because I am provoking him. Counseling is out of the question, as he would never admit there is a problem with the way he treats me.

Would someone behave like this if he doesn’t mean it? -- N.N. Dear N.N.: Your husband is a classic verbal abuser. Constant criticism and calling you names is a way to control and manipulate you.

He also threatens you so you will be afraid of angering him. He refuses to discuss his behavior because he doesn’t want to take responsibility for it. You have told him his words are hurtful, but it makes no difference.

His abuse is not your fault, but it is important that you make it clear it is unacceptable.

Otherwise, he will continue to belittle you, and in some cases, the behavior can escalate to physical abuse. Please lean on your family and friends for support, letting them know what is going on. We also strongly urge you to get counseling on your own in order to decide whether you can set boundaries that he will follow, or whether you must leave for your own safety and sanity.

Dear Annie: I am a 25-year-old woman with very short, spiky hair. I wear girly clothes, yet time and time again, people think I am gay.

It drives me absolutely crazy. I have seen my hairstyle on other women, and it would never occur to me to think they are gay.

I admire guys when they walk by like any other woman my age. I like my hair short because it takes me three minutes to style, which means I can sleep longer. My hair is also rather thin, so a longer style looks straggly.

The length of my hair has nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I hope people will see this and think twice. -- Short, Sassy and Straight Dear Short: With so many female celebrities wearing short, spiky hairstyles these days, we are amazed that anyone would make such assumptions. Ask a few friends why your appearance gives others this impression. Or, if it bothers you, consider different makeup to feminize your face, although you do not need to justify your look to anyone. If you like it, that’s all that matters.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Frustrated Viewer in Canada” and other readers that almost all newer flat-screen televisions can be set to meet their audio needs.

My family recently was surprised to discover that TV stations were already broadcasting programs with wonderful audio. All we needed to do was read the owner’s manual for our TV and make the necessary adjustments to the audio settings. In our case, we also were able to attach external speakers using an amplifier, which gave us even clearer and richer sound.

Not only is the dialogue easier to understand, but the hearing-impaired member of our household no longer has to wear special headphones to hear the TV. And what’s even more unbelievable, the music in the commercials sounds so good, we no longer feel an urgent need to push the “mute” button. -- Eureka, Calif.

A local resource in a world of online classifieds Ki r s t en Hild eb r and

Looking for a job, a new car, maybe trying to get rid of an old set of bunk beds; or are you a collector? UsedKootenays.com is a resource not to be overlooked.

With the rise of online classified sites such as Kijiji or Craigslist, UsedKootenays.com offers up an alternative that aims to connect with the community offline that it’s bringing together online.

“We actually have a genuine concern and care for the communities we serve,” says Erin Richards, Marketing Coordinator for UsedKootenays.com, which is also owned by Black Press.

Black Press is the largest publisher of community newspapers in B.C. and has newspapers in every community in the Kootenay region. Recently, all of the Kootenay

Black Press titles began running all of its print classified ads on UsedKootenays.com.

“We feel this is a great value for our customers and makes Black Press the best option when it comes to placing classified advertising throughout the Kootenays,” said Chuck Bennett, Group Publisher for Black Press in the Kootenays.

“We are really excited about this opportunity for us to grow our business in this area, but more importantly, this is good for our customers.”

This partnership also aligns well with the values of UsedKootenays.com, as being truly local.

“We have staff on the ground in most of the communities we serve.

They involve us in local community events, we partner with local non-profits and chari-

ties... We want to be that different classifieds that cares about the people using our sites,” said Richards.

UsedKootenays.com has its own charity as well. Called the Community Angel Program, Richards explains staff, or “angels”, spend time looking for ways to help out a person placing an online ad.

“Their job is to search our sites to find people who have posted ads saying they’re in need,” she says. “That can be anyone - from a single mom who needs a birthday present for her son because she can’t afford one this year to a senior needing a new battery for their scooter.”

The angel makes contact and meets with them in person to learn their story.

“Whether that’s financially, or whether they just need help con-

necting to other resources, we do our best to give them a hand,” says Richards. “We really want to have personal connections with our users.”

Also setting them apart from other online shopping venues is tighter moderation, ensuring things like weapons, puppy mills and pornography aren’t promoted. Scams, spam and low quality content are less likely to appear on this site as well.

It’s all part of maintaining a high quality service that allows a positive exchange of goods with those living nearby.

“People want to buy and sell from their neighbours, from people that they trust, from people living in their own communities,” Richards says.

Secondhand bargain shopping is also the trend among many try-

ing to save a buck these days. As well, it’s convenient to shop from a home computer, says Richards.

“You can see the item right there online and you all the information and then you just go pick it up.”

As part of a network of websites across the country, UsedKootenays.com covers the entire Kootenay region but users can narrow down a search based on how far they’re willing to look.

On Facebook and Twitter, UsedKootenays.com is increasing its profile after a few years of operation. The feedback forum on their site is also open for comments from users who see a way they can better serve the immediate area.

“I would love to engage in some dialogue with people in the Kootenays,” says Richards.

Ottawa will soon require that tanning beds carry skin cancer warning labels C anadian Press

OTTAWA — It’s not yet moving to the sometimes hideous pictorial warning labels seen on cigarette packaging, but Ottawa wants to get the message across that tanning beds can be hazardous to your health.

Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says Health Canada will soon require that all tanning beds carry warnings about skin cancer and other potential dangers.

The proposed changes come after several provinces moved to prevent the use of tanning beds by young people.

Nova Scotia already bans people under 19 from using tanning beds while Manitoba requires written parental consent before anyone under 18 can use them.

And earlier this

month, legislation took effect that would ban those under 18 from using tanning beds in Quebec. Ontario and British Columbia have announced plans for similar laws.

France, Germany and Australia also have bans in place affecting younger people.

Using indoor tanning equipment before age 35 significantly increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer, according to research by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Canada’s proposed tanning bed labels don’t forbid their use, but instead warn the devices are “Not recommended for use by those under 18 years of age.’’

The labels would also read: “Tanning

Not sure about the whole

Equipment Can Cause Cancer,’’ and carry a list of other health risks associated with tanning.

“The Harper Government is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadian families,’’ said Aglukkaq.

“Young adults should be concerned about the health risks associated with the use of tanning beds, including skin cancer.’’

A public comment

period on the proposals will close in early May with regulations expected to be posted later this year.

The regulation of tanning beds for commercial use falls under provincial jurisdiction.

However, Health Canada regulates the sale, lease and import of tanning beds under the Radiation Emitting Devices Act and Regulations.

“Skin cancer is the

most common type of cancer, but it’s also one of the most preventable,’’ said Canadian Cancer Society president Pamela Fralick.

“Stronger labelling and clearer information about the dangers of tanning beds may reduce the number of young Canadians exposed to this carcinogen, and this is an important step in the right direction.’’

After only one year of teaching she was swept off her feet by her soon to be husband; Richard Cecil Lingard, a recent graduate of pharmacy.

They began their lives in the Crowsnest Pass and gave birth to the first of two children, Leslie Maureen on September 8, 1954. A move to BC found them in Chilliwack where their second child, Richard James was born on September 4, 1958. Shirley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dickâ&#x20AC;? and the kids moved to Nelson, BC, shortly after and Dick began practicing his trade at Mannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmacy. An opportunity to start their own business 2 years later prompted the move to Cranbrook, BC, where they lived and raised their children until Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in November, 2002. Sadly, Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Leslie, passed away a year later.

In 2006, Shirley moved to Nelson to be close to her son, Rick, and her grandchildren. Throughout the years in Nelson, Shirley loved to go for walks, lunches and frequent outings on Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. 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.

Volleyball action at the College Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The College of the Rockies was a hive of volleyball activity over the weekend as a dozen men’s and women’s teams descended on the gym for the Pacwest provincial championship.

The men’s Capilano University Blues earned a 3-1 match victory over the Vancouver Island University Mariners to clinch the title, while the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades women’s team steamrolled to a 3-0 win over the Columbia Bible College Bearcats to earn the championship.

In the bronze medal category, the Camosun College Chargers stunned the top-ranked Douglas College Royals and took the tiebreaker

in the fifth and final set.

For the ladies, the VIU Mariners swept the Capilano University Blues in straight sets to capture third place honours.

Both the men’s Capilano University Blues and the women’s UFV Cascades team have earned a berth in nationals—the men will travel to Niagara College in Ontario, while the women will travel to Lakeland College in Alberta.

The host team, the Avalanche, ran into the eventual champions in the Blues in the quarterfinal match. Capilano barely managed to win the first set, but that took away the Av’s momentum, and the Blues went on to win 3-0.
