Local man charged with attempted murder Lucky escape for three occupants of a King Street apartment after shots were fired into the window SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

It was a near miss early Sunday when a 47-year-old Cranbrook man fired shots into a King Street apartment.

None of the three people inside the apartment were injured in the shooting. There were no children in the apartment.

According to RCMP, someone phoned in a firearms complaint about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, February 24 at the apartment block.

“Police determined a shot had been fired into an apartment on the third floor from the ground level, narrowly missing one of the occupants,” said Cpl. Chris Newel.

A police dog and handler soon arrived at the scene and found the firearm used in the incident nearby.

Then the dog tracked a man hiding in the area, Cpl. Newel said.

“He was found not

that far away and he was tracked by the dog.

“The dog was really instrumental in apprehension and location of the firearm. With the dog, we were able to make that arrest and locate that firearm very quickly.”

The 47-year-old man from Cranbrook was arrested and charged with attempted murder and careless use of a firearm.

He will stay in custody ahead of a court appearance on Wednesday, February 27.

Police also searched the man’s home using a search warrant and found further evidence.

The occupants of the apartment were linked to the accused shooter, Cpl. Newel said.

“There were known to each other. There was a connection. That’s why we are saying it was not a random act and the public doesn’t need to be concerned. There was a link between these two subjects.”

A Vancouver video game company comprised of Cranbrookians is seeking to put a new face-to-face look on the state of gaming.

Flying Helmet Games, founded by three people originally from Cranbrook, is presenting the first major demonstration of its newly created game “Eon Altar” at the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston in the coming weeks.

thusiasm for games and gaming that dates back to their Mt. Baker Secondary School Days. But as well as that, they have a commitment to the so-

“We used to play board games and Dun-

geons and Dragons style games in basements after school in Cranbrook with a lot of this group (of Flying Helmet colleagues),” said Douglas, who serves as Creative Director at Flying Helmet. “And we got back together and decided we wanted to make a game that reflected how we played these games when we were young.

16-year-old Leah Teeple got more than just a cup of coffee when she stopped at Tim Hortons in Fernie during her lunch break from school last Thursday. The grade 11 student ordered her usual double double and walked back to Fernie Secondary School, where she rolled up the rim of her coffee cup to discover she had won a car.

“The whole school knew

before I really realized what I had won,” commented Leah. “I was excited but it hadn’t really sunk in yet, I was just in shock.”

Through Tim Hortons’ Rrroll Up the Rim to Win contest, Leah is now the proud owner of a brand new Toyota Rav 4, valued at around $32,000.

Leah will get the chance to get behind the wheel of her prize when it arrives in four to six weeks, but she will have to wait a little longer until she can take it out for a spin on her

own. She explained, “I get my ‘N’ in June so then I can drive it all by myself.”

The contest began on February 18 and will see Tim Hortons customers across North America rolling up the rims of more than 260-million contest cups. Among the prizes are 100 prepaid MasterCards in the amount of $5,000, 1,000 Napoleon Gourmet Grills, as well as thousands of Tim Hortons gift cards and food prizes.

Just 40 Rav 4’s will be given

away, and Fernie Tim Hortons owner Kristine Hovind-Pelletier was happy to see one of them go to a local.

“It’s incredible that of all the cups distributed, Fernie got the winner,” she said. “Someone won a boat after getting a coffee from us a few years ago, but he was from Calgary. It’s way more fun for us to see someone actually from Fernie win.”

The contest will continue until the end of April.

Flying Helmet Games a homegrown business Continued from page 1 “You can see video games are getting more and more complex, the graphics are better, they’re getting more and more exciting,” Douglas said.

“But people don’t play games together in the same way anymore. We used to just hang around.

Games were a way to socialize together with friends. Now most video games are played over the internet, you’re sitting alone at a computer, playing with someone far away.”

The gaming band of brothers set out upon their chosen career arcs in the gaming business after graduation, eventually working at major gaming studios like Electronic Arts, Bioware, Ubisoft and Sony, on game franchises like “Need For Speed” and “Mass Effect.”

“We worked our way through on many of these games, learning the industry,” Douglas said. “This past year, after working on giant studios, we came back to Vancouver ‘got the band back together,’ and made Flying Helmet Games.”

Flying Helmet is wellstaffed with Cranbrook expertise. As well as Douglas, Penner and Reynolds, Daniel Bailey has come on board as composer. O.J. Abrey has just started into the writing and design.

Dustin Adams is a Tester and Web Master.

Joey Wiggs, one of the original conceivers of the game, is now a senior programmer with Microsoft, doing a lot of programming for that company’s ‘Office’ products.

“Eon Altar” is a role-playing game, in the style of Dungeons and Dragons. Sumari MacLeod of Techvibes describes it thus: “There are players, who create characters to bring to the table to play out an adventure. The adventure is controlled by a separate person, called either the Game Master or the Dungeon Master depending on the system, who guides the players through the quest – or leads them to their collective doom, if the players are uncooperative.

“Eon Altar takes that structure and brings it to mobile and tablet devices.

The infrastructure echoes the Wii U, but the project was conceived to take

video games away from the TV and turn them into a more welcoming and social experience.”

Melding devices was a priority for the developers.

“We realized that now is the time we can take all these fantastic new devices — smart phones, tablets — and create video games for them, connected, that you can play like a board game,” Douglas continued. “You have five friends who gather together with their smart phones, and they connect. The tablet is on a table surrounded by couches and chairs, you order some pizza and beer, and play your Saturday night gaming with your friends.

“So it’s like taking a computer screen game, laying it down on the table, and actually looking each other in the eye while you’re playing.”

Flying Helmet has already held a soft announcement of their first game, and their first big demo is coming up, at the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for details of how

“It’s like taking a computer screen game, laying it down on the table, and actually looking each other in the eye while you’re playing” Edward Douglas that event went.

In the meantime, the Flying Helmet Games crew is living the dream.

“We used to talk about making video games on our own, and two of our members would design their own systems,” Douglas said.

“It was always a dream.

Last year, we decided we were going to try to make an actual game out of it. We got initial funding through Canada Media Fund, which fosters Canadian digital media studios.

“We’re working 18 hours a day.

“After working for giant studios for years, doing something for ourselves is great.”

A group of individuals gathered outside Cranbrook City Hall on Monday, Feb. 25, to protest the deer cull planned by City Council. Opponents of the cull are calling for an immediate cessation and an examination of other methods of dealing with Cranbrook’s urban deer population. Organizers have also commenced distributing a petition around town, which those opposed to the cull can sign.

Local NEWS Kimberley may take a serious look at hazing deer C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

Urban Deer Committee Chair Gary Glinz told Kimberley Mayor and Council on Monday evening that the choice of Coun. Darryl Oakley to sit on the deer committee was a good one.

“He is often called upon to use his well-developed diplomacy skills in keeping us focused on our main objective, keeping Kimberley a safe and enjoyable community for all,” Glinz said.

“The Committee represents very diverse backgrounds and that’s what we want,” Oakley said. “There are times when you could charge admission, times when it’s fiery, but it’s a healthy process.”

Oakley reiterates that the goal is the safety of the community, and no single approach will work.

One approach the City will likely take a look at is hazing. But it’s not as straightforward as it may seem.

The biggest problem is that hazing is illegal in British Columbia.

“Hazing deals with habituated deer,” Oakley said. “And because it’s illegal, it’s going to require a proposal to get an experimental process going.”

It will also require permission from private landowners.

Hazing, Oakley explains, is not dogs stampeding deer through the streets.

“The dogs are trained

Darryl Oakley to walk deer out of town,” he said. “It’s negative reinforcement. The deer come back, the dogs walk them out again.

The deer don’t like being pushed out of town again and again. It’s been a success in Waterton and Banff.

“It does cost money, so a partnership with Animal Alliance could be something we look at.”

But it will also take time. The deer committee will meet with the hazing experts, then it comes to Council. If Council accepts the idea they then apply to the appropriate Ministry for permission for a hazing experiment.

“It does look promising for parts of Kimberley like Townsite and Marysville,” Oakley said.

“But it’s one piece of a comprehensive plan.

“The 2012 report from the Urban Deer Committee is a roadmap to sustainable urban ungulate management.

“In a perfect world you would have nature managing itself. In the not so perfect world if

there is an incident in Kimberley, the CO responds if they can.

“Animal Alliance is asking that there is no cull while the hazing trial takes place and we are trying to get a hazing experiment before any cull.”

Council has not yet approved applying for any cull at all, Oakley says.

“But given that the deer count is down to 126, we would like to do spot culls based on serious incidents.”

Serious complaints have dropped off. There were 20 in 2012, postcull, while there were 33 complaints in 2011.

Complaints in 2012 included a couple of very serious ones, such as an eight-year-old boy walking to school in Townsite who was confronted by a buck and almost gored.

“He was lucky, and smart enough, to get behind a power pole,” Oakley said. “Now, Animal Alliance will say, ‘the rut was on and you need to up your education’, but he’s eight. We had a little girl delivering papers in Marysville last year and she was being harrassed by a doe. In those situations, that’s severe habituation coming out.”

The City does have to have the ability to respond to those situations, Oakley says.

“What we’re trying to do is keep the deer population level, but to be able to respond to serious incidents.

“Based on the numbers we are going to implement whatever measures we can to keep numbers at a low density. It’s multi-faceted and comprehensive. Some are trials and may or may not work.

“The message is we are trying all these things. It’s a big experiment and we may still have to do a cull as a piece of it.”

Oakley points out that they have it down to a science in Banff to control the elk population, but they also have a huge budget with three people working full time on it.

And still, they do spot culling in Banff.

“It’s Parks Canada.

They have lots of money.

They haze, they translocate — which elk respond better to than mule deer — they have huge education programs, but they do cull with sharpshooters in January. They keep that population stable.”

Deer population down in Kimberley C arolyn Grant

There are fewer deer in Kimberley this winter.

That fact is corroborated by the latest counts taken in November of 2012 and by personal observations by members of the Urban Deer Committee and others.

Counts in 2011 had 240 deer in Kimberley.

In 2012, there were 126 animals.

“The decrease is largely due to the deer cull in 2012, but also to a number of other factors such as natural mortality and human behaviour modifications,” says Deer Committee Chair Gary Glinz in a report to Kimberley Council.

By human behaviour modification, Glinz means fewer people are feeding deer.

Given those numbers, there are a number

of different directions Council can head, Glinz told Council on Monday evening.

In Managing for the Future, the committee report accepted by Council last summer, the recommendation for dealing with a deer population at 50 per cent of the 2011 deer counts was that a permit be requested for culling 25 to 30 deer based on a number of criteria including population density and incident data.

Glinz did recommend to Council that they apply for a permit to cull 25 to 30 deer.

“That doesn’t say you will take those deer,” he said. “We need to gather data on complaints, then decide whether to set traps. You may decide not to, but the data will help.”

Cocaine, cash seized For the Townsman

A large amount of cocaine and cash was seized recently as result of a joint investigation by the Elk Valley RCMP and the Cranbrook RCMP Drug Section in Sparwood.

Three individuals are now facing drug trafficking related charges.

On Feb. 21, 2013, a search warrant authorized under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act was executed at a Sparwood residence without incident in the 6000 block of Lower

Elk Valley Road, Sparwood. The search recovered approximately one ounce of cocaine, $4,000 in cash and other drug trafficking related paraphernalia.

Two men and one woman were arrested and released for upcoming court appearances in Cranbrook.

Anyone with information regarding illicit drug activity in our community is urged to contact their local police services or via Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Alberta sheriff shot at courthouse in Whitecourt; suspects nabbed C anadian Press

WHITECOURT, Alta. — Three men are in custody after a backroom scuffle in a small-town courthouse ended with a sheriff being shot in the hand and a short-lived escape in the officer’s vehicle.

The shooting took place just before noon on Tuesday in Whitecourt, where two local men were making their first court appearance after a drug bust last week.

An eyewitness said the disturbance began with what sounded like a fight in a hallway used to transport prisoners.

“An officer who was in the court at the time hopped the guardrail and ran behind the door,’’ said Kathlene Campbell-Conlon, a reporter for radio station CFXW. “The door shut, you heard more fights, you heard a couple of high-pitched screams, then

two, maybe three gunshots.’’

The impact of the shots, she said, knocked hangings off the wall inside the court. The immediate reaction among those in the room was panic.

Everyone was pushing to get out and chairs were being thrown around, said Campbell-Conlon.

Mayor Trevor Thain confirmed the prisoners escaped in the sheriff’s van. Thain said the two escapees were arrested at a farmhouse about 10 kilometres south of Whitecourt.

Thain said police detained a third man at the farmhouse.

“There’s a third man taken into custody, but we don’t know if he’s a suspect,’’ he said.

The sheriff, who RCMP say was part of the prisoner transport section, was taken to hospital. Officials with the union representing the sheriffs said he will recover.

Cycling event to showcase East Kootenay scenery Coming in September, the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo has 50-, 100- and 150-kilometre courses around Cranbrook and Kimberley for up to 500 participants Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Cranbrook will play host to a mass participation cycling event this September.

The Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo is being organized by Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club, with sponsorship by St. Eugene Golf, Resort and Casino and Western Financial.

“Gran Fondo in Italian means ‘big ride’.

It’s a cycling event, but it’s (part of the) social and cultural fabric of Italy and France,” said Glenn Dobie, chairperson of the Rotary Gran Fondo Committee.

“It promotes togetherness and camaraderie. It is not a race.

“Although people are timed because they want to know how long it takes them to travel, it’s just a personal goal.”

Scheduled for September 8, the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo will see up to 500 cyclists flock to the area and choose from a 50-kilometre, 100-kilometre and 150-kilometre course.

All three courses depart from St. Eugene on a quiet backcountry road that leads to the North Star Rails to Trails. The courses head along the Rails to Trails to Kimberley. From there, the 50-kilometre cyclists will turn back to St. Eugene. The 100- and 150-kilometre cyclists will ride from Kimberley on a quiet road before crossing the Kootenay River and continuing to Fort Steele. The 100-kilometre route finishes by coming from Fort Steele back to St. Eugene. The 150-kilometre route takes cyclists along the Fort Steele Wardner Road, then back to St. Eugene.

“The 150-kilometre route is for dedicated cyclists, people who really want to put a personal challenge before themselves. The 100 kilometres is still pretty challenging for

Cyclists in the Gran Fondo Whistler, which had 7,000 participants in 2012. a lot of people, but probably more within reach for a lot of folks. The 50 kilometre really appeals to recreational cyclists – family, friends, even a business that wants to have four or five people go out, set a goal and ride in an event that’s all organized,” said Dobie.

The courses will be clearly marked with aid stations positioned along the route to give cyclists food and drink. A post-ride meal will be held in the Pavilion at St. Eugene.

“It will be a spectacular backdrop. We won’t be going through much city traffic.

We’ve carefully designed it to be as much as possible off highway, on back roads, incorporating Rails to Trails,” said Dobie.

Part of the proceeds from the Gran Fondo will go to maintenance and upgrades of the North Star Rails to Trails.

“That connector has been a fantastic addition to our communities,” said Dobie.

“So we would like to support them to continue their goals.”

Submitted

Other proceeds will go to Sunrise Rotary’s projects in Cranbrook and Kimberley.

Gran Fondos are a blossoming trend in North America. The cycling event is already held in Penticton, Kelowna, Banff, Whistler, Vancouver and Couer d’Alene.

Sunrise Rotary is using local suppliers to organize the event wherever possible, Dobie said.

“Everything we do, unless we can’t, we do it with local businesses.

“Even if the costs are slightly more, that’s not our concern. We prefer to support local businesses.”

The eight-person organizing committee hopes the Gran Fondo will become an annual event that will prove a boon to the economies of Cranbrook and Kimberley.

“One of our goals is to attract people to the community and showcase what we have here, and hopefully they will use it as a tourist destination more often, and bring economic opportunity to the area,” said Dobie.

A new digital mammography machine is in service at East Kootenay Regional Hospital, and it is thanks to you.

East Kootenay Foundation for Health is holding a celebratory open house on Thursday, March 7 to show off the new machine, which gives local women access to enhanced breast cancer diagnosis.

The mammography machine arrived in late January after a whirlwind fundraising campaign, A Clear View, by the foundation managed to pull together $1 million in donations in just 11 months. The campaign was expected to last two years.

Now, the 800 people who gave so generously to the campaign and the general public are invited to come see the digital stereotactic mammography machine at East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Department on March 7 from 2 to 4 p.m.

“If it wasn’t for the public, the reality of raising the million dollars for the mammography unit would never have happened.

This is our way of saying thank you, come on out and see what you have done,” said Donna Grainger, executive director of East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

“We saw donations come from every area of the East Kootenay – from the Elk Valley, from Golden and Creston, to the Columbia

Valley and of course Cranbrook and Kimberley.”

The machine arrived at Cranbrook’s hospital in late January, but it was put to work straightaway, showing just how badly it was needed.

“They have been doing full time screenings for the past two weeks. We didn’t have much down time. It went into service a lot sooner than we had hoped, which is fantastic news,” said Grainger.

A celebration to thank the public for their donations will be marked with guest speakers and a ribbon cutting, as well as coffee, tea and light refreshments.

Speeches will begin at approximately 2:15 p.m. followed by tours of the mammography unit with interested guests.

“Come and see the excitement and the appreciation by the Diagnostic Imaging technicians. It is so rewarding that they know what the public has given us for a piece of equipment that’s going to make a difference in so many lives,” said Grainger.

Something’s been puzzling me.

LETTERS to the EDITOR World o’ Magazines The first weekend in March is coming fast and the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library need your help.

We have some items but the more the merrier. Anything published currently or in the last five years (2008-2012) would be welcome.

Hiking, biking, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, fishing, barbecuing, gardening, landscaping — you name the activity and we have a magazine to make your outdoor time more enjoyable. Not quite the outdoor enthusiast — no worries. We also have plenty of “indoor” type magazines to keep you busy — decorating, crafting, cooking, sewing, or just plain fun recreational reading.

There will also be a variety of audio visual items available for sale. Anyone looking to add to their VHS or cassette collections is encouraged to come and

take a browse. This is a great opportunity to find those hard-to-find formats.

The silent auction is back for another year. The selection of items to bid on is varied. Mystery lovers can bid on the Patterson package or the Mary Higgins Clark collection, art lovers are welcome to bid on a Norman Rockwell or Robert Bateman book, adventure enthusiasts will want to bid on the Clive Cussler collection and for those who have heard all about the Fifty Shades of Grey, there is a chance to own the first in the series and see what the buzz is all about.

We are grateful for all types of magazines and audio visual items donated for our use! Donate your items to the Friends and we can assure you the reward will be two-fold. The next reader gets enjoyment and the Cranbrook Public Library benefits from the proceeds we earn through our magazine sales.

I feel I need to respond to the letter on Friday, Feb. 22, from Joyce Green.

I don’t feel that she has the right to chastise “locals” (as she refers to us) for voicing concern over this issue. We “locals” have legitimate concerns on this issue and will not be talked down to or made to feel guilty for speaking out. This is firstly a matter of political process, which is flawed.

I found her letter to be condescending and bordering on rude. She is not addressing a class full of starry-eyed, firstyear Political Science students, and I suggest she keeps her lecturing to the classroom.

She obviously loves to play the racism card at the drop of a hat; I have seen nothing racist on this matter in the newspaper at all.

Indeed, what’s racist is that these negotiations have gone on for so long in a secretive and non-transparent manner with no input from the “locals” who have built homes and have lived in the subject area for decades.

MONTREAL - Michael Ryder is a Hab once again.

The Montreal Canadiens acquired Ryder and a third-round draft pick in 2013 from Dallas for forward Erik Cole.

Ryder had a career-high 35 goals for the Stars last season, along with 27 assists. He has six goals and eight assists in 19 games so far this year.

Ryder was drafted in the eighth round by Montreal in 1998. The native of Bonavista, N.L., had a career-high 63 points for the Habs in 2003-04. In 650 career games, Ryder has 203 goals and 207 assists.

Cole signed a four-year deal with the Canadiens on July 1, 2011, after spending nine seasons with Carolina and one with Edmonton.

Cole had 35 goals and 26 assists for the Canadiens last season, but managed just six points in 19 game so far this year.

Kings trade struggling Simon Gagne back to Flyers

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Kings have traded struggling left wing Simon Gagne to the Philadelphia Flyers for a conditional draft pick.

The defending Stanley Cup champions and the Flyers announced the deal Tuesday.

Gagne hasn’t scored a goal in 11 games this season, his second with Los Angeles. The seven-time 20-goal scorer has been a healthy scratch recently.

Gagne missed several months with his latest concussion last season for the Kings, but returned in the Stanley Cup finals and contributed to the Kings’ first championship.

Gagne spent his first 10 NHL seasons with Philadelphia, scoring a career-high 47 goals during the 2005-06 season. The Flyers traded him to Tampa Bay in 2010, and the Kings signed him a year later.

He will be a free agent this summer.

Woods and McIlroy meet up in Florida after bowing out PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy faced off Sunday in match play, just like so many golf fans wanted to see.

Only hardly anyone saw them. And it didn’t even count.

After both were eliminated in the first round of the Match Play Championship, No. 1 and No. 2 in the world played two rounds Sunday morning at The Medalist. McIlroy said Woods won the first 18 holes, and he won the second match.

McIlroy and Woods are tied at 2 in their head-tohead matches. Woods beat him in the World Golf Finals exhibition last year Turkey, while McIlroy beat him a few months later in an 18-hole exhibition in China.

The 28-year-old from Pickering, Ont., is coming off an injury-plagued 2012 season with Hamilton, where he missed the first 12 games. He returned to action for Hamilton’s final six contests, recording two special-teams tackles.

Carter broke in with Saskatchewan in 2007, leading the team with 22 special-teams tackles and helping the Roughriders win the Grey Cup. Over six seasons, Carter has 78 special-teams tackles, four defensive tackles and one blocked punt in 80 regular-season games with Saskatchewan and Hamilton.

High school curlers off to provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Growing up together in the curling rinks meant it was only a matter of time before Alysha Buchy, Haylie Farquhar and Julia and Kira Dereniwsky started throwing rocks together as a team.

The four Kimberley girls have teamed up and managed to curl their way through two mini-tournaments to earn the right to represent Selkirk Secondary and the Kootenay region at the B.C. high school curling championships this weekend in Kamloops.

Buchy skips the

team, while Julia and Kira are the third and second, respectively, with Farquhar as lead.

Alysha Buchy is the 14-year-old daughter of Kimberley curler Tom Buchy, who has been active in the curling community in Kimberley for years and made appearances at the provincial and national levels of the game.

The elder Buchy, who is still active in competitive curling, plays the role of supporting dad, and also draws on his extensive experience to coach the four in their high school curling endeavours. “[It’s] interesting and

neat, because he’s been to nationals and I know when he comes out and says ‘You should play this shot or you should think about playing this’,” said Alysha, on what it’s like to have her dad as a coach. “I know he knows what he’s talking about, so it makes it easier.”

“Sometimes it’s hard because he is my dad and not just a coach.”

Alysha said watching her dad has shown her how to be a part of a team dynamic while learning the strategy behind curling.

She’s even begun to clean her rocks the same way as her father.

“We have the same mannerisms, I guess,” Alysha laughed.

Tom Buchy said it’s a different feeling being on the other side, where he’s not in control and can’t affect the outcome of a game that the girls are playing.

But he’s enjoyed watching Alysha and her friends grow up and develop their curling skills.

“It’s pretty special, because she’s had an interest in the game since she was quite young and we’d watch stuff on TV together and she’d ask a lot of questions, you know, why they play this or that,” said Tom Buchy.

“So to see her out

there and making decisions on her own, it’s definitely special, but it’s also pretty cool seeing how these girls have developed and become a team and seeing how well they work together.”

The team has been curling together for roughly a year and decided that curling in the high school category would be a good start to see how tough the local competition was.

“We all just thought high school is a little less intense, so lets just go for that, so we gave it a try and have had some fun doing it,” said Kira Dereniwsky.

Ice look to pick up more divisional points TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It was the game that got away, but the Ice are hoping for a little revenge this time around, as they head back into Alberta for another important divisional contest with the Medicine Hat Tigers on Wednesday.

The Ice were dogging the Tigers for a playoff spot, and needed a win to climb into eighth place when the two teams met three weeks ago,

however, the Tabbies were able to hold on for a 3-2 win to stay in eighth place.

Fast forward another six games and the landscape changed dramatically.

The Ice won five of their following games and stepped up into eighth place, while the Tigers won six of their next eight contests, and now sit in sixth place.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes and the Broncos have had some fortuitous losses, which

have allowed Kootenay to climb up the ladder.

It seems as if every game coming down the stretch is a must-win, but the team is playing desperation hockey with an eye on the post-season.

“Right now we’re trying to take it one game at a time, not trying to get two steps ahead of ourselves,” said Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk. “Obviously, if we can finish higher in the standings, that’d be nice, but right now it’s just a game at a

time, a period at a time and a shift at a time.”

Tanner Muth is out of the lineup (day-to-day) with an upper body injury, while Jeff Hubic will also watch from the press box following a onegame suspension from the WHL for accumulation of instigator penalties—one of which he picked up last Sunday when he went in to fight Josh Derko, who had laid a check from behind on Jon Martin.

Canada crashes out of CONCACAF U20 championship Gavin Day Canadian Press

Submitted photo

Ten hockey players from the East Kootenay were chosen to compete for the Kootenay region in the U16 B.C. Cup after an evaluation camp in Nelson. The players selected are: Tiana Ewasiuk, Tyra Shrubsall, Lindsay Weech, Bailey Park, Kennedy Sterzer, Chloe Luke, Jessica Owen, Caylee Lazar, Tyler Carver and Taryn Kelly. The girls are from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie and Creston.

Local girls chosen for U16 hockey team Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

B.C. Hockey recently held an Under-16 evaluation camp in Nelson BC, where 13-15 year olds girls from the East and West Kootenays came to impress coaches and scouts for a spot on the roster to compete at the U16 B.C. Cup in

April. The top 19 female players chosen during the camp will skate against the best players in their age group from across the province during the tournament.

The camp consisted of fitness testing, on ice practices and two inter squad games, but the girls were also evaluated

on their overall performance over the weekend.

Brent Weech is the head coach from Fernie and Ray Dube is the manager from Cranbrook. The B.C. Cup attracts teams from Vancouver (2), the North, Okanagan, Kootenays and the Island.

It will be a week long tournament that provides seminars, practices and games. The players eat all meals together and are housed together as though they were a national team member.

“It is a great experience and we are all very proud of the girls that

are representing the Kootenays,” said Weech.

The program alternates year by year from the B.C. Cup to the B.C. Winter Games. It was the rotation for the Winter Games last year, and the Fraser Valley team won the first place with a 5-2 win over the Vancouver-Squamish zone.

Kimberley curlers ready to take on competition Continued from page 8 Like Alysha Buchy and Haylie Farquhar, the Dereniwsky sisters grew up in the Kimberley Curling Club, as their parents are curlers themselves.

Kira is in Grade 9, while Julia is in Grade 11. In addition to curling, Kira plays volleyball and basketball, while Julia golfs, even representing the region in the 2012 B.C. Summer Games.

The East Kootenay qualifier in Creston was the first step on the road to provincials.

“It’s was a chance to

go and see what we worked on, if that’s going to do anything and see how it goes and we’ll be fine,” added Julia. “It turned out that we played really well that weekend and we won.”

They ended up defeating high school teams from Creston and Sparwood for the right to represent the East Kootenay, and then took down Nelson in a couple of games to earn the Kootenay region’s entry into the provincial tournament.

Farquhar, a Grade 8 student, said the team

That wasn’t the case on Tuesday night.

Jose Villareal scored twice as the United States defeated Canada 4-2 in the quarter-finals of the 2013 CONCACAF under-20 championship.

The loss means that Canada won’t be taking part in this summer’s FIFA under-20 World Cup in Turkey.

“All credit to our boys. They tried to fight.

They tried to fight on until the end but that’s just the way it goes,” said Canadian coach Nick Dasovic. “The Ameri-

“We ended up doing good.”

Tom Buchy is quick to credit the girls for the way they’ve improved together as a team and hopes that they enjoy their experience in Kamloops, regardless of how they finish.

“Where they were three months ago, compared to where they are now, is amazing. Every time we come out for a practice or a game, they seem to advance a little more, and they’re still very young,” Buchy said.

“The rallying behind them from the club itself has created a lot of excitement from the club

and people are just happy to see a junior team doing well.

“They’re very young, so we just want them to go there, have some fun, enjoy it and do the best they can, whatever the outcome is.”

The girls would like to thank the following for all their support: Larry Limacher, L & K Taxi, KD Mountain Construction, Kimberley Curling Club, Kimberley Elks Club, Kimberley Mixed Curling Club, Kimberley Snow Fiesta Committee, Ron & Sue Osterkampf, Selkirk PAC, Ted Phillips, Randy and Debra Krantz.

cans are going to Turkey and I wish them all the best.”

Canada opened the scoring through Dylan Carreiro but then conceded four unanswered American goals - including strikes from Luis Gil and William Trapp - to put the game out of reach. Samuel Piette got a goal back for Canada, which hasn’t qualified for an U20 World Cup since hosting the event in 2007.

“Up to when we scored our goal I thought our (defensive) lines were quite tight and our blocks were nice and compact. It just seemed that in today’s game for whatever reason they looked a step ahead of us,” Dasovic said. “They looked stronger and fresher.”

John Harbaugh to receive football honour at Miami University Associated Press

was pretty excited after winning their games in Nelson and everyone is confident going forward to Kamloops.

“I haven’t had any of the jitters yet because I know some teams there probably have been to provincials, and probably have been practicing as a high school group since Grade 8,” Farquhar said.”

“But the teams we faced in Creston were Grade 11 and 12 and we seemed to keep our heads up and stayed focused and just concentrated on each shot and tried to get something out of each shot.”

OXFORD, Ohio - Ravens coach John Harbaugh will be inducted into the “Cradle of Coaches” association at his alma mater Miami University next year.

Harbaugh’s team won the Super Bowl, beating his brother Jim’s San Francisco 49ers 34-31 for the Ravens’ second NFL title. He graduated from the southwest Ohio school in 1984.

A bronze, life-size statue of Harbaugh will be added to the Cradle of Coaches display on a plaza outside Yager Stadium early next year, joining the statues of

Paul Brown, Bo Schembechler, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, Earl “Red” Blaik, Carm Cozza, Paul Dietzel, and John Pont.

The statues honour Miami graduates who have been named a coach of the year at the college or professional level, won a national college or NFL title, or been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame or the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“To me, there is no greater recognition in coaching,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “To be included with these great men is something only dreamed about.”

(NC)—If you hear that your child is being bullied, your first instinct might be to intervene and immediately take action. Depending upon the situation, it may be more effective to offer support and suggestions to help your child handle the problem.

According to the 2012 RBC

Children’s Mental Health poll, parents would like their child to approach them about mental health issues but children are more inclined to confide in their friends. Keeping an open dialogue with your kids and talking about bullying can help open the lines of communication.

Here are some additional tips on dealing with bullying.

Be the change you wish to see in the world

• Help your child understand the bully.

Children who are bullied may think they deserve to be treated in cruel ways.

Tell them that everybody deserves to be treated courteously, and that bullies often act out because it makes them feel powerful.

• Build your child’s selfesteem. Being bullied can make a child feel less self-confident. Give your child opportunities to

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to others’ feedback with an open mind. The unexpected is becoming expected, and it seems to follow you everywhere you go. Relax more with change, and be willing to let go of what isn’t working in your life. Tonight: Go with the flow of the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pace yourself. You have a lot to get done, and you’ll do just that, given some space and time.

Your ability to adapt to change emerges. Understand what needs to happen with a financial matter. Don’t spend funds before they are in your bank account.

Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Allow your creativity to emerge when facing a schedule change or in a meeting gone awry. You don’t need to make a big deal out of everything that is occurring -just go with the flow. You will know when to act and what to do. Tonight: Spontaneity works.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Stay calm when others become irritable or agitated. A boss or higher-up seems to reverse course, which encourages you to question what is really going on here. Trust your judgment. Your instincts will carry you past a problem. You like what you hear.

Tonight: Head home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be overcautious in the morning, but by midafternoon, you’ll know which direction you would like to go. The unexpected easily could boomerang in and out of your plans. Demonstrate your ability to be flexible. Good news comes forward. Tonight: Where the fun is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel uneasy, and it could seem as if you aren’t sure which way to turn. Honor what you’re feeling; you’ll see why you feel that way later. The unexpected enters your life and creates havoc where you least expect it.

Tonight: Say “yes” to someone’s offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be slow to get going, but once the afternoon hits,

For Better or Worse Make your look

you’ll be a whirlwind of activity.

Fortunately, when a key friend, associate or loved one starts acting strange, you will know what to do. Let this person say what he or she needs to say. Tonight: Escape into the world of music.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be direct in your dealings in the morning. The clearer you are, the better your decisions will be. You might not be sure which way to go with a loved one who means well but could cause a problem.

Do nothing -- just see what he or she does. Tonight: Get some R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Zero in on what needs to happen. Your high stress level could come out as a nervous energy.

You will need to deal with a strange twist. Try to get a lot of important feedback as you attempt to root out a problem.

Success will come naturally. Tonight: Join friends for some fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep reaching out to a key person in your life. You might hear some shocking news that encourages you to regroup. The

unexpected occurs, but you’ll demonstrate flexibility. Adjust your plans accordingly, and get to the root of a problem. Tonight: Others seek you out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Make a call to someone at a distance. Your caring comes out naturally. Be flexible with a change in plans, and your ingenuity will come to the rescue. Find a solution that works for you and also for others. Tonight: Return emails, and relax to a good movie.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Deal with people directly today.

A one-on-one conversation could change how you deal with your finances and the people you might be responsible for.

Trust your resilience, and you will bounce back. Opportunities could involve real estate. Tonight: Dinner with a loved one.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My daughter is a drug addict who is in and out of jail. Over the past 14 years, we have taken custody of her four children. Two of the kids are great. However, the other two are the problem.

The oldest girl just turned 18 and moved out. This kid made our lives miserable. She saw counselors multiple times and began cutting herself, and we finally had to have her committed to a hospital. We did whatever we thought would work, but nothing did. She quit school and now lives with any friend who will take her in.

Now, one of the other girls is 13 and doing the same thing. It’s as if they lose their minds once they hit middle school. Her grades are down, she is getting into trouble at school, she cuts classes and has briefly run away twice.

The other two kids are very involved with school and church and are as good as they can be. But, Annie, we don’t want to handle the 13-year-old anymore. All of the counseling, the discipline, the problems, it’s too much. My stomach is in knots trying to decide what to do. I am so tired of kids who think they know everything but are dumber than dirt, and all of the drama they command.

My friends tell me to turn her over to foster care, but no one else is going to worry enough about her. My husband has had two heart surgeries in the past year, and my blood pressure is way too high, even though I take medication. Should I put her in foster care? -- Helpless, Tired Granny Dear Helpless: You sound like a caring, loving grandmother, but you are obviously overwhelmed by this difficult situation.

You are not alone. Please contact the AARP Foundation GrandCare Support Locator at giclocalsupport.org for a list of available agencies and organizations in your area that help grandparents raising grandchildren. Some of them offer respite care, and it sounds like you could use that kind of assistance.

Dear Annie: My husband’s son is getting married in July. We have not been asked whether we would like to invite any of our close friends to the wedding. I know my husband would like to have his good friends see his son get married. Would it be proper to ask whether we could invite a few to the wedding? My husband’s ex-wife and her husband are inviting all of their friends and relatives.

I know my husband is hurt. I have told him to call his son and just ask. Is this OK? -- Concerned Stepmom Dear Concerned: Yes. Is your husband contributing to the cost of the wedding?

If so, he should have been allotted a small guest list of his own. If he is not contributing, he should offer to pay for the cost of adding his friends to the event.

Dear Annie: “Frustrated” said she felt taken advantage of by a friend who relies on her for transportation. You suggested setting time limits.

As a woman who is disabled and unable to drive, time gets away from me when I’m out.

I need to have the visual stimulation every now and then. “Frustrated’s” friend may be in a similar situation. And the intellectual stimulus of being with her friend may help her mood tremendously, since being stuck at home can make a person depressed.

Please ask “Frustrated” to have patience for her friend. -- Louisville, Ken. Dear Louisville: Many readers assumed this friend was disabled, but the writer made no mention of it. If there is a disability preventing someone from driving, of course it would require additional patience and time to be accommodating. But if the friend simply doesn’t have a license, she needs to be more considerate of those who make the effort to transport her.
