Woman arrested in Marysville homicide

47-year old man found deceased in Marysville home; 37-year old girlfriend arrested CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

A 37-year old woman, who police say is the girlfriend of the deceased, has been arrested in the death of a 47-year old Marysville man. The Southeast District Major Crime Unit has confirmed they are investigating a homicide.

Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP says that the woman is being held in custody and investigation into cause of death continues. However, Newel says police want to assure the public that it was not a random act.

Kimberley RCMP called the Southeast District Major Crime Section along with the BC Coroner’s Service to investigate a suspicious death in Marysville on Friday afternoon, March 8, 2013. A deceased male was found at the Marysville residence.

“The death appeared suspicious and as such the investigators secured the scene and requested the assistance of major crime,” Newel said.

He says the suspect and the deceased were in a relationship and living together at the time of the incident.

The search for Kimberley’s best singer is on and the 2013 Audition Showcase is scheduled for April 16, 2013 at McKim Theatre.

This is the second annual Best Singer contest for Kimberley. In 2012, Kimberley’s

All musical styles are welcome. You can sign up as a solo act, or a duo, trio or quartet.

However if you do come as a group, one singer must be designated as lead.

Singers should have a karaoke track, mp3 or CD of their backing track, or you can accompany yourself on guitar or piano. Your song should be approximately three minutes in length including intros and interludes.

Your singing ability will be judged by three judges on a 10 point scale, with eight points based on vocal quality/tempo/rhythm and expression, one point based on stage presence/charisma/entertainment value and one point based upon crowd reaction. All judges will be from outside of the town where the contest is being held whenever possible.

All you have to do to register is go to www. kootenaysbestsinger.com. Registration forms are available on the website. You must register by April 10.

A Clear View to treat breast cancer

New digital mammography machine now in action at East Kootenay Regional Hospital Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Tears were flowing, hugs were given freely and celebration was in the air in a narrow hallway at East Kootenay Regional Hospital on Thursday, March 7.

It was an open house for the new digital mammography machine now in service at the hospital, which was bought and paid for through the A Clear View campaign by East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH).

The $1 million campaign was achieved in a little over 11 months thanks to the dedication of EKFH staff and board, local service clubs, the business community and individual contributors.

EKFH executive director Donna Grainger said that although the program launched in the fall of 2011, fundraising actually began in April 2011.

“We started writing letters, making phone calls and telling our stories,” Grainger remembered.

“The question we asked throughout this campaign was: is there anyone who has not been affected by someone having breast cancer?”

Past chair of the EKFH board, Linda Berukoff, said community support for the campaign was overwhelming.

“Basic health care is a given in B.C. Excellence in health care is a challenge. It is very evident that this is a challenge that the people of the East Kootenay are willing to take in hand,” said Berukoff.

“What an amazing, heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking journey this has been. Now it’s time to celebrate.”

Anthea Gill, Interior Health’s Professional Practice Leader, ac-

knowledged the hard work Grainger put into the campaign.

“There are hardly words to express how grateful I am,” she said.

“Remember that someone you know or someone you love will benefit from this equipment. They will all have a chance of beating cancer,” Gill said.

The new digital mammography machine arrived in late January and it was put into service right away. Now up to 30 women a day can have breast screenings done.

Dr. Julie Nicol, head of the hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging department, said the machine has three uses: diagnostic imaging, a screening centre, and stereotactic biopsies.

While the machine works in a similar way to the one it replaced, the quality of the images is vastly improved. The old, analogue machine, Dr. Nicol said, still gave adequate screenings, but the images were developed on film and were not nearly as clear.

What’s more, each image took around two minutes to develop, during which time the patient was being compressed, an uncomfortable experience. The digital machine instantly displays the scan.

It also rises and lowers so patients can sit and even lie down while undergoing a mammography, rather than only stand.

Most significantly, soon the Diagnostic Imaging department will be able to use the machine to conduct stereotactic biopsies. At the moment, patients must choose between travelling to Nelson or Calgary for this service, or having a lumpectomy surgery to test whether a suspicious lump is a cancer.

“It can save patients a surgery because instead of having open surgery for an area that looks suspicious, we can inject a needle to diagnose a cancer pre-operatively,” said Dr. Nicol.

“Stereotactic biopsy is minimally invasive. If it turns out to be breast cancer, surgeons can do one surgery to remove it.

If not, it is less invasive to prove it.

The clarity of mammography scans is vastly improved by the new digital mammography machine at East Kootenay Regional Hospital. These pictures show a scan of the same woman's breast. At left is a scan using the old analogue machine developed on film, and at right is a scan that pops up instantly using the new digital mammography machine. Unlike the film scans, the digital images can easily be uploaded for specialists and surgeons to review here in Cranbrook, or anywhere in the province.

“Knowing how much easier this is on patients than a lumpectomy makes it feel like a really great thing.”

Now, breast cancer patients can have diagnostic screening done in Cranbrook, they can have a cancerous breast operated on, and they can receive chemotherapy here.

“There is just so much more we are able to do locally for treatment,” said Dr. Nicol.

“The goal is to find breast cancer at the smallest size possible. If we do that, it is at an early stage, it can receive early treatment, and ultimately there is a better outcome.

The bottom line is fewer deaths from cancer.”

Dr. Nicol encourages women throughout the East Kootenay, from Golden to Elkford to Creston, to consider making the trip to use the digital mammography machine.

“I encourage women in the entire region to come here for screening.

This machine is for the whole area, not just for Cranbrook. If you are willing to make the trip, come and use it,” said Dr. Nicol.

The Way It Was

KIMBERLEY NEWS March 4, 1954 Chapman Camp School Opens Monday Monday, March 8, will see the new Elementary School at Chapman Camp opening. Built to replace the old school which was burnt down in February, 1951, the new school will accommodate Grades 1 to 6, in three modern class rooms.

Similar in construction to the Lindsay Park School which went into operation two weeks ago, the new school will eliminate bus travel for the Chapman Camp school children, who have been coming to Kimberley since 1951.

Principal of the new school will be Mr. Roy Ronaghan.

In addition to his duties as Principal, Mr. Ronaghan will take Grades 5 and 6. Miss Netta bridge of Chapman camp will teach Grades 3 and 4 with Mrs. Maisie Yarmola, formerly of Golden, taking care of Grades 1 and 2.

The new school opens appropriately enough on the start of Education Week, but whether it will be open to inspection by the parents during the week is not known; the School Board being unable to supply this infor-

Coronation Medal For Kimberley C.D. Officer

Kimberley Civil Defence Organization has recently been accorded a very great honour. Allan Watson who is the C.D. Officer for this community is the proud possessor of the Coronation Medal, which has been forwarded to him from Ottawa.

Mr. Watson’s untiring efforts in furthering the cause of Civil Defence, often under discouraging conditions, make him a very fitting recipient for this award.

A Good Lunch Daily Only 20 Cents Too good to be true, you say? Not at all, 20 cents is all our children pay for a good nourishing lunch at the cafeteria in the A.A. Watkins Elementary School.

Under the efficient management of Mrs. L. Evans, from 85 to 145 lunches a day are served, according to the weather.

This reporter was privileged to share a meal with the children, and without exaggeration can truthfully say, that the meal was both wholesome and attractively laid out. Some eighty children filed into the dining room under the guidance of one of the teachers, each teacher taking over dining room duties for a week at a time.

It must be said that they were very well behaved, very little noise and no fuss, with of course the usual happenings of the small boy who arrived late and felt very bashful about sitting among the girls. He may have a change of heart in a few years time, who knows?

The food itself was excellent, hot soup, crackers, butter bun, doughnuts and milk, and apparently was enjoyed by all present.

A typical week’s menu is as follows: MONDAY: Hamburger and bun; lettuce; peaches and oatmeal cookies or graham wafer, and milk.

TUESDAY: Macaroni and tomatoe sauce; brown bread and butter; iced cup cake and milk.

WEDNESDAY: Soup, tomatoe and crackers; buttered scone; doughnut and milk.

THURSDAY: Meat loaf and vegetable; brown bread and butter; orange; milk.

FRIDAY: Vegetable soup and crackers; buttered brown roll; butter horn; milk.

It is interesting to note that for the past two years the Cafeteria has been self supporting, which must mean that some very capable buying has been done, and considerable advance planning of meals undertaken. There is a possibility that the High School will also have a Cafeteria in operation later this year, an improvement that will no doubt be welcomed by students who live out of the City, and who come by school bus.

An investment of more than $1.1 million from the B.C. government and Columbia Basin Trust means students at the College of the Rockies training to work in the Kootenays’ thriving mining sector will have access to the latest mining truck haul simulators.

The funding announcement was made Wednesday, March 6, at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook.

“This is an important program as it addresses two needs: the need of Basin employers to find trained labour, and the need of Basin residents to be qualified for local jobs,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “Congratulations to the College of the Rockies for leading this initiative and helping to foster the economic well-being of our region.”

The B.C. government has invested $580,000 to support the program and the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has invested $560,000. The college has been working closely with both partners and with industry to ensure they can put the latest tools in the hands of B.C. students.

“Our resource industries remain a key part of B.C.’s economy,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “So it’s vital that the right trades training equipment is available to our post-secondary insti-

tutions to ensure students enter the labour market with the skills the sector needs.

“This funding will enable the college to continue their excellent work, training students for the mining industry’s needs today and in the future.”

The funding will help the college to buy simulators, plus a truck and trailer to transport the equipment between campuses to ensure that as many students as possible benefit from the new equipment.

In January, College of the Rockies received $443,842 for skills training equipment. The additional $580,000 brings the B.C. government Skills and Training plan investment to over $1 million in 2012/13.

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this funding,” said Nick Rubidge, President and CEO, College of the Rockies. “This is good news for not only the College but for students looking to learn here in the Kootenays. The simulators will prepare our students for job opportunities across the province.”

The provincial government funding is part of $17 million announced last September for public post-secondary institutions around the province to upgrade skills training equipment. It aligns with BC Skills and Training Plan priorities to ensure that students get access to the right training tools and that skills training matches the needs of regional economies around the province.

news/opinion

I was sorry to learn that Reverend Yme is not content with having to rely on faith (“Sometimes I wish I didn’t have faith.”

Townsman, March 8).

We all exercise faith, perhaps unwittingly, many times every day … whenever we ingest food, drink and medication, particularly medication, and when we climb aboard an aircraft or drive at speed on the highway. Faith is essential to everyday living, more so today than ever.

Of course, this type of faith is based upon our knowledge and experience and could be called “Rational Faith” Another form is “Blind Faith.” This is required when there is no proof or even any valid evidence for one’s belief, and this seems to be where Rev. Yme is having difficulty.

A third variety is what I call “Perverse Faith” — this is absolutely essential if one is determined to believe, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that the earth is flat and only 6,000 years old, etc. As for the promise that 77 vestal virgins anxiously await the man who terminates his life in the prescribed style, I regard this as overload and am doing my best to avoid such a fate.

Bud Abbott Cranbrook

Better headlines I hope people of Cranbrook, the East Kootenay and B.C. can read past the catchy headlines of the past few days to find the story that should have been front page news. It might not be as colourful or controversial, but it should have received the attention it deserved.

The B.C. Government put forward a balanced budget and on March 5 it passed a crucial vote in the Legislature. This is exactly what we should expect and demand of our government — a fiscally responsible way of doing business. I run a business in Cranbrook, and like you I

manage a household budget. I make the tough but responsible choices I have to make to ensure I’m not going into debt, that I’m not leaving my two sons with a financial burden. I don’t accept anything less from the government which is managing my tax dollars.

Look next door to Alberta where the government is set to announce a huge budget deficit, or to Ontario, where they are staring at a $10 billion deficit. Matters are even worse in the U.S. and Europe.

Every province in Canada except for B.C. and Saskatchewan are running deficits.

Meanwhile, our B.C. government has made the tough choices and are looking at surpluses for the next three years. Not only that, we’re onew of only two provinces in the country to have a AAA credit rating.

Governments don’t get an AAA credit rating from the international financial community unless they believe the government.

We’re actually doing quite well here in B.C., compared to the rest of the world. A balanced budget gives me the comfort and confidence that the future looks pretty good for my kids, my business and my community. On May 14, I’m not making a choice that will put that future at risk.

After all, government is here to stay; better to choose the one that will balance the books than one that will run us into debt.

Kurt Swanson Cranbrook

Management Despite claiming to be prudent financial managers, our ‘’free enterprise’’ governments in the US.. and Canada obviously have little concern for running up huge debts. The U.S. owes trillions, while our federal debt is now $605 billion, costing us $58 million every day. Our B.C. debt is now over $60 billion, and costing us $5.6 million every day. It appears we have much to learn from the successful “Social Democratic” Scandinavian governments, where things are good, with

fiscallyb responsible and open. honest governments.

During the early 1990s, despite a recession, and little demand for our exports, an NDP government in BC continued to provide and even improve all social programs. With an improving demand for our raw materials, by 1999 the province had $1.56 billion in cash, and the largest ever payment made on our provincial debt. Two successive surplus budgets were working. BC Hydro, was thriving, providing the lowest electrical rates in the world, with a 10 year freeze on rates.

ICBC, with no rate increases, was giving us Canada’s lowest auto insurance. BC Rail, another successful crown corporation, was consistently making large annual profits. In 2000, with only 35 per cent of BC citizens voting, we elected the Liberals and drastic changes immediately occurred. Huge tax reductions for their supporters, the wealthy, big business, rich corporations and banks, resulted in an immediate record $1.8 billion dollars deficit, followed by similar large deficits for 11 of 13 years.

These years resulted in government getting less money than needed to govern efficiently. The new HST tax, favoring big business, with a $1.6 billion Ottawa grant, was imposed, and all of our once healthy social services were cut to the bone. BC Rail was sold off, BC Hydro has been pillaged of over $7 billion, and given a $11 billion debt. ICBC also had to fork over millions. Despite increasing all service charges, and the HST, our provincial debt ballooned to over $ 60 billion .

With an election set for May 14, it is hoped more than 35 per cent of voters participate. We now must pay over $300 million dollars, each year for five years, for the $1.6 billion HST debt , get our $60 billion debt under control, repair BC Hydro’s finances, if possible, and improve all of our social programs. This will take years of sound financial management.

Can this happen?

M. A. Mellor,

CKCA calls for steering committee nominations Submitted

The Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) invites members of the arts, culture and heritage community in the Columbia Basin to join its volunteer Steering Committee.

The CKCA is a representative body of the arts, culture and heritage communities across the Basin, and manages and administers arts, culture, and heritage funding programs on behalf of Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

The CKCA Steering Committee consists of 14 members: six from the West Kootenay, five from the East Kootenay, one from the Valemount area and two from the Heritage sector.

CKCA represents all the disciplines in the arts (visual art, music, theatre, dance, film/video and literary arts), culture and heritage; there-

fore, it is important to provide broad representation on the Steering Committee. CKCA is particularly interested in new members that represent youth or cultural diversity.

Steering Committee members are elected for two-year terms and represent the broader needs of arts, culture and heritage sectors in the Basin rather than individual arts councils or heritage organizations, or the communities in which they live.

Nominees to the Steering Committee must have a strong background in arts, culture or heritage, should have experience in working on boards/committees and must understand the needs and issues of the sector in order to develop funding programs/policies and adjudicate proposals. Members are expected to attend at least two meetings per year in vari-

ous locations in the Basin.

Nominees to the CKCA Steering Committee do not have to be members of any organizations, but must be nominated by their local community arts councils or by the Heritage Federation of South East BC (HFSEBC).

Each eligible arts council may put forward only one nomination. If there are more arts council nominees in each region than seats available on the Steering Committee, regional elections will be held in the beginning of April. The HFSEBC may put forward one nomination this year. The HFSEBC nominee will be elected at its annual AGM. It is recommended that nominees (if elected) will be willing to attend occasional arts council or HFSEBC meetings to stay in touch with local/sector issues.

Currently, community arts

Bright sides of extreme maturity Some fancy-dancy public-policy thinktank just released a brand-new study that speculates the legion of aging baby boomers will permanently redefine retirement.

Mainly because so few of us will be able to afford to retire. “Uh, lady, you want lids on these?”

Fast-food break rooms equipped with CPR paddles. A forest of tennis ball-footed walkers leaning against the brooms and mops by the back door. Intra-generational minimum wage squabbles: “Hey you punks, get your greasy hot apple pie holes off my oxygen tank.”

One of the optimum ways our demographic bulge can beneficently alter old age is by changing what we call it. Getting rid of some of the odious appellations for senior citizenry would take a huge amount of the quease out of approaching antiquity.

What we need is a calamari for the squid.

Everybody loves extreme, how ‘bout from now on we refer to the ever-encroaching condition as Extreme Maturity?

No sense belaboring the negative aspects of the path. We are all too cognizant of its passage being one way and ever dark-

ening. Just as easy to focus on the upside.

We are not old. We are vintage. Classic.

Enduring.

Established.

Persistent.

Time-tested. Seasoned. Steadfast. Stable.

Durable. Reputable. Reliable. Rare. Repositories of uber experience.

Acute ambulatory aggregates of accomplishment.

And laughing in the face of it all, we adamantly continWill ue to buy green bananas timeshares.

Durst andOur motor skills may have declined through oxidation, and perhaps we’re not as quick to dodge trouble as we once were; but on the other hand, we’ve gained the hard-won ability to recognize trouble’s approach and can, most times, steer clear of it well in advance. And since we’re on a mini-roll here, what say we trot out a couple more examples of the BRIGHT SIDES OF EXTREME MATURITY. • Can always claim the batteries in your hearing aid are shorting out. Even when you’re not wearing a hearing aid.

• Those creaks in your bones tend to keep you alert while driving.

• You don’t really EVER expect anybody to tell you the actual truth anymore.

• Much less peer pressure. And it diminishes every day.

• On spy missions, those liver spots provide perfect cover to hide microdots.

• Just saying “irritable bowel syndrome” annoys young people so much that they go away. With alacrity.

• Who on earth wouldn’t want to have their living assisted?

• Only need nine books in your library.

Read them in order, alphabetically, then start over.

• Pretty much any cane you wield can be set on “stun.”

• Getting up to pee three times a night turns out to be a very effective means of home security.

• Still doing drugs, only now there’s a co-pay.

• The mantra “Don’t trust anybody over 30” still applies and now includes your kids.

And finally, a last example of one of the Bright Sides of Extreme Maturity: in a pinch, those nipple rings can double as belt loops.

SPORTS BRIEFS Coach of paralyzed Swiss hockey player speaks Swiss hockey player Ronny Keller has been paralyzed by his injuries sustained from a check that sent him head first into the boards during a playoff game, according to doctors.

The Olten defenceman was heading to the corner in a footrace for the puck with a Langenthal forward Sefan Schynder, when he went headfirst into the boards.

Michael Baumberger, a doctor with the Swiss Paraplegic Centre, said Keller sustained “permanent spinal paralysis” but not permanent head or brain injuries.

HC Olten is led by Kimberley native Scott Beattie, who played for years in European hockey leagues before getting into coaching with the Kimberley Dynamiters, as well as the Kootenay Ice and Tri-City Americans at the WHL level.

“There’s just absolutely no place in the game for contact from behind,” Beattie told the National Post.

“Players have got to start to realize that.”

HC Olten, which won the game in overtime after Keller was taken off on a stretcher, has decided to continue their playoff run, according to Beattie.

“I just said, ‘it’s in your hands, you guys decide — take some time and discuss it amongst yourselves, and there’s no shame in not wanting to play,’” Beattie said. “Some guys expressed that during the meeting, letting out their emotions, saying they didn’t know how they could play. “…They decided that they wanted to play. They felt that would be the best for everybody’s psyche.

And that’s how they wanted to handle it.”

Ghostriders one game away from elimination

The Fernie Ghostriders are staring into the abyss with a 3-1 series deficit against the Golden Rockets for the Eddie Mountain divisional crown in the KIJHL playoffs.

The Rockets swept the Kimberley Dynamiters in the first round, and have gone on to take three wins in four games against the Ghostriders.

Fernie won the second game of the series by a score of 3-1 to tie things up at one, however, the Rockets have had two straight victories, and need only one more to close out out the round.

The winner will face either the Castlegar Rebels or the Beaver Valley Nitehawks for the Kootenay Conference title. The Rebels lead the series 3-2 against the Nitehawks.

Woods picks up tournament title in Florida

DORAL, Fla. — That red shirt is starting to look ruthless on Sunday again.

One year after Tiger Woods hobbled off the Blue Monster, he picked up the pace in his march to the Masters. Woods delivered two quick birdies to take the drama out of Doral, and two late bogeys only made his victory in the Cadillac Championship seem closer than it really was.

Woods had full control of his game and never let anyone get closer than three shots until he had locked up his 17th World Golf Championship title.

With a conservative bogey that didn’t matter on the final hole, he closed with a 1-under 71.

For the first time in five years, Woods has two wins before the Masters.

And both of them were dominant.

“That’s how I know I can play,’’ Woods said.

“That’s the thing. To be able to bring it out a couple times so far this year—and then be able to close and get the Ws on top of that—that’s nice. Any time I can win prior to Augusta, it always feels good.’’

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice have unsuccessful road trip to U.S. TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The U.S. division sent crushed ice back into Canada, as Kootenay returned from a winless two-game trip into Washington state over the weekend.

The Tri-City Americans outscored the Ice in the third period to win 6-4 on Friday, while the Spokane Chiefs pulled ahead with four goals in the final frame for a 6-3 victory the following night.

Brock Montgomery and Sam Reinhart extended their point streak to four games, while Jaedon Descheneau has points over the last five games.

Blake Gal scored a pair of goals in the final period to lift the Chiefs to a 6-3 win over the Ice on Saturday.

Kootenay managed to tie up the game in the third period, but Gal’s markers, along with scoring from Mitch Holmberg and Alessio Bertaggia, sealed the

deal.

“We came out, we scored the goal to tie the game and then instead of buttoning things up and having more attention to detail, we kind of went the other direction,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

Jason Fram put Spokane in the lead on a powerplay goal roughly seven minutes into the opening period.

Brock Montgomery, who is second in the league for powerplay goals, scored his 18th goal with the man advantage and 30th of the season to pull the Ice even in the second period.

Brendan Kichton answered back five minutes later to regain the one-goal lead for the Chiefs.

Both teams combined for six goals in the final frame.

Descheneau struck first for the Ice, which tied up the affair, before Holmberg tallied two minutes later to regain

the lead, with Gal’s first soon after that to establish a two-goal lead.

Descheneau found the back of the net again to chip away at the deficit, but Gal responded less than a minute afterwards, while Bertaggia added an empty netter.

Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 35 saves, while Eric Williams made 27 stops on the opposite end of the arena.

Kootenay converted once in two opportunities with the man-advantage, while the Chiefs capitalized once in three of their own.

The result wasn’t much different the

night before, as the Americans downed the Ice 6-4 by outscoring Kootenay in the final frame.

“In the Tri-City game, we came out and the first ten minutes was really good, but then we had those mental lapses,” said Kletzel.

Kootenay roared ahead with a two goal lead after the halfway mark of the opening period on a pair of goals from Collin Shirley and Montgomery.

However, Tri-City answered back from Parker Bowles and Brian Williams within a six-second spread between each goal to pull things even by the end of the frame.

Sam Reinhart put the Ice in the lead less than a minute into the second period, however, Connor Rankin, responded to pull everything back to a tie after 40 minutes.

Marc Messier broke the deadlock 17 seconds into the third peri-

od, and Rankin added another for a two-goal lead late in the game.

Descheneau scored within the final two minutes, but Rankin sealed it up for the Americans with a empty-net goal.

Skapski made 25 saves for Kootenay, while Troy Trombley made 33 stops for the Americans.

Kootenay managed to stay out of the sin bin for the entire game, while Tri-City was whistled for two minor penalties, giving up one goal to the Ice. Due to injuries to forwards Zach McPhee (upper body) and Levi Cable (lower body), the Ice are calling up Hudson Elynuik, the third round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.

Elynuik, a native of Calgary, is currently playing midget AAA with the Calgary Flames in the Alberta Midget Hockey League and will be with the Ice for the week.

Jacobs beats Stoughton to win the Brier DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

EDMONTON — Brad Jacobs wasn’t born yet when Northern Ontario last won a Canadian men’s curling championship.

He arrived a few weeks after Al (The Iceman) Hackner stole a point in an extra end to beat Alberta’s Pat Ryan in 1985.

Twenty-eight years later, Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie team conquered a tough field at the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier and defeated Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton 11-4 in Sunday’s final to win the Canadian title.

“It’s been too long since Northern Ontario’s held that Tankard,’’ Jacobs said, his voice shaking. “To bring this back to Northern Ontario, to Sault Ste. Marie, it means the world to us.’’

Jacobs, third Ryan Fry, second E.J. Harnden and lead Ryan Harnden will represent Canada at the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship from

March 30 to April 7.

It’s the first Canadian men’s title for all four curlers. At 27, Jacobs is the youngest skip to win the Brier since Kevin Martin in 1991 at age 24.

“I don’t even know how to feel right now,’’ Jacobs said. “It’s really overwhelming what’s going on.’’

Three-time Canadian champion Stoughton had the hammer in the first end, but Manitoba started cold. Northern Ontario jumped all over their mistakes with a steal of two points in the first end and another single in the second.

Jacobs chipped out a Stoughton stone with a high-risk, high-reward shot in the fourth to score three and lead 6-2.

Northern Ontario has the hitting game to defend a lead and did so.

“When you get a little bit behind, you’ve got to make some really good shots and it just doesn’t happen, it’s disappointing,’’ Stoughton said.

“I’m disappointed just because the crowd came

here to see a great game and we certainly didn’t give them a great game.’’

The Jacobs team was considered a dark horse contender in this Brier field behind the more established curling heavyweights of Stoughton, defending Canadian and world champion Glenn Howard of Ontario and Alberta’s Martin, a four-time champion.

Jacobs skipped Northern Ontario to third in his debut as a skip in 2010. He and his cousins the Harnden brothers finished just outside playoffs the past two years at the Canadian championships.

Jacobs and the Harndens were gaining experience against elite competition, but because of their youth — all are

under 30 — the Jacobs team was considered an up-and-coming unit.

The addition of Fry at third a year prior to this season took the team to another level. The Winnipeg-born Fry was Stoughton’s second at the 2007 Brier and also played second and third for Brad Gushue at four previous Canadian championships.

Canada loses 9-4 to U.S., eliminated from World Baseball Classic T YLER HARPER Canadian Press

PHOENIX — Canada slipped on the edge of history, giving up a late lead and falling 9-4 to the United States on Sunday in a must-win game that eliminated the team from the World Baseball Classic.

Down 3-2 in the eighth inning, Adam Jones hit a two-run double off reliever Jim Henderson to give the U.S. its first lead of the game be-

fore Shane Victorino scored Jones on a single for a 5-3 lead.

Jonathan Lucroy added an insurance RBI and Eric Hosmer hit a three-run double off Canadian closer John Axford in the ninth that put the result beyond doubt.

Canada had pulled to within one after Adam Loewen hit a bases-loaded RBI in the bottom of the eighth inning, but pinch hitter Tim Smith grounded out to end the

inning and ultimately Canada’s tournament. ``We played a tough game and obviously the U.S. came out on top, but we’re holding our heads high,’’ said Canadian outfielder Michael Saunders. ``We came to this tournament prepared and we felt like we played well. A few innings didn’t go our way, but I think we played well and I think we showed the world that Canada is here to stay.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband hoards cars and is too lazy to fix them. Now he is lying about money, saying, “Oh, this is set aside to fix the cars.” But I know he is frittering it away and wasting his time. He always has excuses about why he can’t fix the cars, but if that’s the case, why hang on to them?

We have more than 10 cars on our lot, and only one is really drivable. Another is a collectible that he doesn’t like to get dirty. The rest are wrecks. He acts as if the drivable vehicle belongs to him, but he bought it for me when I graduated college as a replacement for one that was stolen. He drives it every day, and I have to beg to use it. I have lost my mobility and independence, and he doesn’t care.

I work full time and bring in a decent income. He is retired and watches videos and putters around on the computer. I am angry and tired of his lies. If he really wanted to fix the cars, he would. I am sick of all of the excuses and lies. Why doesn’t he do something about these wrecks? Some have been sitting there for 20 years. -- Frustrated in Northern New York Dear Frustrated: Somewhere in the back of his head, your husband believes he will get around to fixing these cars. He is reluctant to part with them, because it means giving up that little fantasy. The wrecks may be annoying but are not critical to your marriage. Taking the only usable car, however, is a problem. Can you afford another car? If so, get one for yourself. If not, stop begging.

Tell your husband the car belongs to you and you intend to use it to get to work and run errands. Maybe it will give him some incentive to deal with the wrecks.

Dear Annie: My husband and I love our youngest daughter and have always been proud of her accomplishments. However, now in her late 40s, she has become involved with a religious group that does not celebrate birthdays or holidays.

Over Christmas, I sent out some email greetings to my list of friends, and she was included. She called, outraged, and I was forced to admit that I do not believe as she does. Now, I don’t hear from her anymore.

What can I do? -- Blue Christmas Dear Blue: Not much. Your daughter’s lack of tolerance is not unusual for someone who has adopted new religious beliefs. Please try to stay in touch. Send her letters or emails letting her know you miss her and keeping her up to date on family news. Do not mention her religion or yours or the argument you had. We hope, over time, her stringent position will mellow a bit and she will contact you again.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Midwest Cook,” who is appalled when other people’s children say they “don’t like” what she’s serving. She says her own children will happily eat anything besides sauerkraut and Brussels sprouts.

It seems unfair to me to acknowledge her own children’s food biases, but assume that any other child’s preferences are a result of being pampered. Manners, like saying “no, thank you,” can be taught, but some people simply cannot eat the way others do.

If “Midwest Cook” will be regularly entertaining others’ children, she might ask in advance whether they have things they can’t (or won’t) eat. This would save her guests, even the children, the awkwardness of offending the hosts by declining food. -- No Fish, Please Dear No Fish: Unless there are serious allergies, it is unreasonable to expect hosts to cater to individual tastes.
