Of all the dog/human interactions, the walk is my favourite.

Yes, I love the car ride, and the belly scratch, but even they pale in comparison to a ramble with my human and Dog Taylor up on the ridge behind our house. It is like a tonic for the soul. After a dog day of under-stimulation inside the house, to be able romp freely (as long as I stay in sight of my person) stirs the blood and energizes the mind.

An unrestrained dogumentary.

For others, a gently enjoyed amble.

And the smells! A walk outside, even in the cold of winter is a veritable olfactory smorgasbord. There are scents wafting in the breeze, on the trail, off the trail and every nose full tells a story. Some of them a sniff of what has been and some premonitions of what is to come.

I am almost panting just thinking about it.

My human on the other hand, poor soul, sniffs not. His sense of smell is so underdeveloped he must rely on sight alone to experience the world we are walking through.

Yes, his vision is sharper than mine and he sees more colours (contrary to a popular misconception, dogs do not see in black and white. My world is made up of blues, yellows and greys). Just the same, I wouldn’t trade that wondrous, bulbous thing at the end of my muzzle for all the reds, indigos and greens in the human visual palette. Nope, don’t get those colours, but I smell in Hi-Def, 3D, Technicolor!

It was on a walk just a few weeks ago, that my nose alerted me to the fact there was another dog in the vicinity. This was odd because we were off-trail and so the chances of meeting anyone were very low. Stranger yet, I could not smell any humans. This dog was alone.

Pup Portrait: Taylor and Boulder posing yet again for the alpha human and his ever present camera, For some, the dog walk is an excuse for a full on romp.

A nose full of excitement: Boulder sweeps the ground with his magnificently fine tuned sniffer.

The stranger and I met and began to circle and sniff each other’s posterior ends. In mere seconds, a nose full of pheromones told me this about my new acquaintance: she was female, healthy, well fed, and more than a little anxious.

Try doing all that with a handshake, my humantype reader.

When my person finally arrived, he too noted she seemed humanless. Reaching for her collar he inspected her tags for a phone number.

To make a long story short, Sophie — her name according to the tag — followed us home, where consequently a telephone call was made and her human put at ease.

My human, of course basked, in the glow of his good deed, despite the fact that without his dogs’ noses he would have been oblivious to Sophie’s plight. Then again, alphas — both human and canine — are not known for their selflessness. However, there is no “I” in pack and I think we make a good one, so I can live with that.

Groups call for ban on new Elk Valley coal mining U.S report shows high levels of selenium in Elk River; Province, Teck considering water diversion and treatment strategies BARRY COULTER

A U.S. study released earlier this month has found that high levels of selenium have leached into the Elk River from the region’s open pit coal mines.

An environmental group coalition is as a result calling for a moratorium on new coal mining in the Elk Valley.

Dr. Ric Hauer of the Flathead Lake Biological Station of the University of Montana issued a March 2 study comparing water quality in the Elk and neighbouring Flathead River Basins.

Commissioned by Glacier National Park, the study found nitrogen levels at 1,000 times the background rate, sulphate levels at 40-50 times the background rate, and selenium levels at 7-10 times background rate.

A press release from the Sierra Club of B.C. said the researchers tested above and below mines “and used the pristine water quality of the nearby Flathead River to determine background levels and ascertain what aquatic life would normally be present in the

TEck mining operation in the Elk Valley.

Elk River were it not so polluted.”

“The science is clear: selenium from the mines has polluted the river to levels known to be dangerous to fish,” said John Bergenske, Executive Director of the East Kootenay environmental group Wildsight. “The selenium bio-accumulates and could lead to fish population collapse because it affects reproductive organs in fish. Eating them could also affect human health.”

“There should be a moratorium on new coal mining in the Elk until the far-reaching impacts of existing mines are addressed,” said Sarah Cox, Interim Executive Director for Sierra Club BC. “Projects like the Line Creek coal mine expansion and proposed Bingay coal mine would only increase toxic pollution in the Elk. We need to take a big step back and look at how this area is

Tot misses toy C AROLYN GR ANT

Kimberley RCMP are reporting that a four-year old is missing his motorcycle after it was stolen from the carport of his home.

The toy ride-on motorcycle, a blue and white Yamaha PW50, is on trainiing wheels.

Cpl. Chris Newel says it was taken from his residence some time in the afternoon of March 20.

“He is very upset that someone would come and steal his motorcycle and is hoping that the person would return it,” Newel said.

If you see a bike matching this description please call the Kimberley RCMP at 250-427-4811.

managed as a whole.”

“The high concentrations of sulphates and selenium in waters downstream of coal mines represent a significant threat to the ecological integrity of these streams and rivers,” the U.S. report said.

“This should be of great concern to both Environment Canada and the U.S. EPA, as the Elk is a tributary to the Kootenai River and Lake Koocanusa, which flows into the U.S.A. in western Montana.”

Terry Lake, Minister of Environment, told the Townsman Thursday that the Province is working on a “valley-wide solution,” in consultation with the other parties involved.

“We’ve known this is a challenge for some time now,” Lake said. “We’ll all been sharing information, and what we’ve got is a hundred years of mining that has created a

challenge — in particular with (selenium), which in the past we didn’t have the technology to measure.

“We understand the concerns of the Americans, and we need to take a valley-wide approach to this problem. But if we were to shut down mining entirely, then we’d have a problem.”

Lake said the Province had been in consultation with industry and federal and U.S. government counterparts, and a two-point solution is being considered.

The first, Lake said, is to divert water away from the waste rock, so that the acids and metals don’t leech into the water. The second is to treat the water — to create treatment plants, for example, to remove metals like selenium from the water.

“This will take time and money,” Lake said.

“But we all recognize the problem.”

Cranbrook drug arrests From Page 1 One 23 year old female has been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. She appeared before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and was released for court, April 15.

Later that same night, police executed the second warrant on a motel room on 2nd Street S in Cranbrook. Eleven grams of heroin, along with small amounts of cocaine, marihuana and cash were seized. Four people were present, charges are being recommended against two male occupants (18 and 27). A baby less than year old was there as well. MCFD is involved.

He added that Teck has been very cooperative in this matter.

Teck Resources, which operates five coal mines in the Elk Valley, issued a statement to the Townsman Thursday.

“At Teck, we take environmental issues very seriously,” it reads. “That is why we are taking action through our Valley-wide Selenium Management Action Plan, which is one of the largest water quality management programs of its kind in the world. The plan outlines significant measures, based on extensive scientific research, to protect aquatic health while supporting sustainable min-

ing activities in the Elk Valley.

Teck also referred to the water diversion and treatment strategies.

“Over the next five years, Teck will invest up to $600 million on the installation of water diversion and treatment facilities, investments in research and development to improve selenium management, and ongoing aquatic monitoring.

“Our operations in the Elk Valley employ over 4,000 people directly and support thousands of families and communities that rely on the industry across our province,” Teck’s statement said.

“We’re focused on work-

ing cooperatively to implement solutions that address this important issue, while also ensuring we can continue to operate responsibly and support jobs and economic opportunity in the Kootenays.”

Groups calling for the mining moratorium are Wildsight, Sierra Club BC, CPAWS-BC and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. The four groups are also urging the B.C. government to dedicate a park in the southeastern one-third of the Flathead River Valley, adjacent to Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.

Avalanche deaths From Page 1 Tom Riley, an avalanche forecaster with the CAC says the layer formed in cool, clear weather in early March and was then covered during snowfall around March 10.

“We call it a persistent weak layer,” Riley said. “The snow crystals stand up almost like little feathers and any sideways force — they fold. Then in some cases there is a crust over top. When the layer fails, it fails over a wide area. That’s what we believe happened here.”

Riley says that these particular snow conditions are tricky and backcountry users have to be aware that they exist.

“It does put a lot of onus on the user. They

need to understand that these conditions may not be present everywhere, but just in certain drainages.”

Riley says the avalanche near Hellroaring would be rated a 3.

A backcountry skier near Revelstoke was also caught by an avalanche this weekend and did not survive.

At approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday March 24th, 2013, Revelstoke RCMPolice and Parks Canada, Glacier National Park, were advised of an avalanche at Sifton Col, in Glacier National Park.

A 38 year old Revelstokian was testing the conditions in the bowl while the other two skiers waited near the top of the ridge. At approximately 2 p.m. an avalanche was triggered

which buried him. His friends were able to dig him out, one stayed behind to apply CPR while the other skied back to Parks Canada at Rogers Pass for help.

Parks Canada’s team of visitor safety and avalanche technicians responded immediately by helicopter. The male was not responding to CPR attempts and had succumbed at the scene. The remainder of the party was safely extracted by helicopter.

Revelstoke RCMPolice, Revelstoke Victim Services and the BC Coroners Service were on hand to assist with the investigation. Police are not releasing the name of the skier.

The avalanche was rated as a size 2.5 with a hazard rating in the alpine as considerable.

Project Yellow Dog

A practical way to increase voter turnout among young people Norm Macdonald MLA Columbia River Revelstoke

A yellow ribbon means don’t touch. bandana, a collar attachment — means do not approach.

It’s meant for dogs that might have health issues, or recovering from an injury, or dogs in training that shouldn’t be touched, or an aggressive dog,” Vaillancourt said. “I

had a reactive dog once that didn’t like being approached by strangers.

But you’d be out for a walk and a dog off leash would come running up. The owner would say, ‘my dog is friendly’.

Yes, I know, but mine isn’t. The yellow ribbon let’s anyone who ap-

It’s simple to teach children that if they see yellow on a dog, they shouldn’t approach, Vaillancourt says.

The Way it Was - March 1953 Courtesy of the Kimberley Heritage Museum archives

KIMBERLEY NEWS Newspaper, March 18, 1954 “Marysville Man Killed In Accident’ Howard Melvin Tams, a 24 year old switchman at the Sullivan Concentrator, was killed instantly in an accident at the plant 12:05 Friday, march 12th. He was working at the Rotary Ore Dump and was apparently caught between a moving train and the steel structure of the Dump.

Born in Kimberley, later moving to Marysville with his parents.

Mr. Tams was married and leaves his wife, two children, Carol Ann and Kenneth Howard, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack tams, three sisters, Mrs. Geoffrey Barnard, Marysville, mrs. Herb Eckert, Fairbanks, Alaska and mrs.

E.J. Puffer of New Westminster, one brother Lorne at home, and Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Fraser, new Westminster, grand parents.

Funeral services were held in Kimberley Funeral Parlors, con-

ducted by Pastor E. White of Laura Keer Memorial church, Marysville. Interment was in the Marysville cemetery on Tuesday, march 16th.

Howard Tams Death Accidental Verdict

A Coroners jury Tuesday, March 16th brought in a verdict of accidental death in respect to Howard Melvin Tams, a switchman employed at the Sullivan Concentrator.

The jury found that Howard Tams met accidental death by decapitation at the S.E. corner of the Rotary Dump at 12:05 a.m. on the 12th day of March, 1954. No blame was attached to anyone but the jury made the following recommendations: 1. That some method be devised to ensure that ore cars will not become uncoupled from each other while dumping operations are being carried on.

2. That the platforms at the North and South sides of the track at the East end of the Rotary Dump be removed, and some cow-catcher type of approach be installed to prevent anyone from approaching too closely to the end of the Rotary Dump.

3. That the tail light on the trains be placed in such a position as to be visible at all times from the locomotive of the train.

Members of the jury were F. Holmes, foreman; W. Faulds, A. Grant, R. Hopkins, D. Kiever and Les lane.

Photographic comparison of the bone fractures showed them as being those of the cow elk shot at Wolf Creek.

The men pleaded not guilty, being defended

by A. Hrigorew, Barrister and Solicitor, Kimberley.

Local Men Receive Heavy Fines Joseph Ernest Berard and Edmond Bussey, both of Meadowbrook, were each fined $100 and costs, with one week to pay; in default, 30 days. Also bound over to keep the peace for one year, following conviction on charges laid under the Game Act of shooting an elk near Wasa Lake during the closed season. They appeared before V.M. Bourne, Stipendiary Magistrate on March 12.

Police first heard of the incident on February 15th and on February 18th Kimberley R.C.M.P. came upon the scene of a fresh kill of a cow elk near Wolf Creek. Three legs broken off near the knee joint were recovered.

During the investigation which followed, the homes of the two men were searched and four quarters found.

As we prepare to head into another election, there will be plenty of discussion about the falling rates of voter turnout. And eligible voters between the ages of 18 and 25 are least likely to vote.

This is a very sad fact considering the vast majority of elected officials at all levels of government are over 40.

And these demographic factors create a situation where the issues that are of most importance to younger members of our society can be completely overlooked.

As the MLA for Columbia River – Revel-

stoke, every year I visit high school classrooms to talk about the Parliamentary system and the issues that matter to students. And even when the class I am attending is on a Monday morning or the last class on Friday, I find students to be highly engaged. They are articulate and well-informed, and they are excited about the prospect of voting.

But sadly, based on the statistics, many of these students will become one of the many in this age bracket that doesn’t vote.

The Chief Electoral Officer of British Columbia has recommended that the age of voter registration should be lowered to 16 to enable Elections BC to register new voters while they are still in school. And the evidence shows that young people who are registered to vote are more

likely to make their voices heard at election time.

In response to the Chief Electoral Officer’s recommendation, the New Democrats have tabled legislation that will lower the age of voter registration to 16.

Unfortunately, the BC Liberals chose not to proceed with the legislation during the last Legislative session before the election.

But the New Democrats have promised, should we be chosen to form government, that we will pass this important piece of legislation.

Make sure that you are registered with Elections BC. If you did not recently receive a voting card in the mail from Elections BC, you need to check your registration. You can register online at www.elections.bc.ca.

are now millions of Kurds living in western Turkey (including an estimated three million in Istanbul). But Turkey is a democratic country, and full civil and language rights for Kurds would give them a very large say in how the Kurdish-majority parts of the country are run.

That is what is now on the table, and Ocalan seems content with it. Why would Prime Minister Erdogan (who quite recently said that he would have liked to see Ocalan executed) be interested in making the deal with the man?

Erdogan is currently trying to get a new constitution through parliament. He has two major aims: to prevent future military coups, and to remove the anti-religious elements in the document that have restricted any political expression of Islam since the founding of the republic 90 years ago. He also wants to strengthen the presidency, now a largely ceremonial office, since he plans to run for president next year.

Ocalan has no objections to any of that.

All he wants in a new constitution is full equality for the Kurds and their language.

Since the new constitution requires a twothirds majority in parliament, and Erdogan will not have that majority without the support of the main Kurdish party, the Peace and Democracy Party, both men can only get what they want if the deal goes through.

Long-lasting marriages have been built on less promising foundations. This time, at long last, Turkey may finally get around to recognising the rights of the 20 per cent of its people who speak Kurdish. If it does, a long war will end, Erdogan will gain enormous political credit — and a post-modern version of the traditional Kurdish dream will start to come to life.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor Heritage Last week as I listened to the radio, I heard a report about a building that the city has slated for demolition. It was not until I read the Townsman article that I realized which building. Located directly behind City Hall, it is a red brick and stone structure built in the early 20th century.

Unique in construction and design, it has similar architecture as the Cranbrook Photo building, originally the Imperial Bank, built in 1909, and the old Bank of Commerce, built in 1906.

To some, this is just a vacant building, in need of repairs.

However, I feel we need to take a closer look at the situation.

Located between City Hall (1911), and the original Fire Hall (1927), this little building is of similar vintage and design. Also in sight is St. Mary’s Catholic Church (1927). Over the years, Cranbrook has lost many of its heritage buildings; we should be concerned about not repeating the same mistakes. It’s bad enough to lose these old buildings to fire, but choosing to destroy them is just wrong.

Apparently City Council has been planning to do this

since at least last year. Was the public made aware of this? The city had an engineering firm do an inspection and estimate for repairs to the building. I was given a copy of this report, and while repairs to any buildings add up, I am quite certain this building could be repaired for far less.

When I asked what the lot would be used for, should the building come down, I was told it would either be left empty, or another building might be built for storage purposes.

So, how much would demolition, lot preparation and construction of a new building cost? I’m sure the difference between restoring the vintage building versus erecting a new building would be comparable.

I have contacted Heritage BC about this, and they informed me that the Heritage Legacy Fund was created for the purpose of preserving BC history, and at times to provide grants to help fund repairs to vintage structures.

Perhaps we need a group of volunteers to help out with repairs. I know I would volunteer time to work on this building and perhaps other citizens and businesses would provide any

time and funding.

I hope that City Council will revisit this, and reconsider.

When it’s gone – it’s gone. We owe it to our ancestors to preserve local history. Someone’s grandfather worked hard to build that little building decades ago.

I urge anyone with an interest in preserving Cranbrook’s heritage, to drive by and have a look, and more importantly, voice your concern about preserving this building and other historic buildings in our community.

Ron’s Rescue Run Every day, perfectly good horses are shipped to the slaughterhouse simply because they aren’t wanted by their owners anymore. Last summer, I was fortunate enough to save one of these horses through JM Acres Rescue Ranch in Maple Ridge, B.C. Rio has become a great friend, and will live a good life here in Kootenay Country.

These volunteer rescue organizations work on shoestring budgets and depend primarily on donations and adoption fees to stay afloat. As anyone with horses knows, it’s not cheap to own these critters, but they give us so much in return. Since it’s inception in 1995, JM Acres has rescued and adopted out over 600 horses. So far this year, they are averaging between five and 10 horses a month!

This May, I will be participating in the annual Bloomsday Run in Spokane, Washington. It’s a 12.4 km event, and with an average of over 50,000 runners and walkers, it is one of the biggest in North America. This is only my third year and at my age (I’m 62!) it is definitely a challenge.

My goal this year is to take another five minutes off my time, and in the process raise funds for JM Acres while I do it.

If you would like to support me, please give me a call (250422-3541) or go to the JM Acres web site at: www.jmacresrescue.com to pledge online. You can also find them on Facebook.

Thanks and Happy Trails!

Rocks of the ages, init?

“Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.”

Ozimandias, by Shelley.

“They call this place Chicken Pizza,” said a male voice with a definite London accent. This was at Chichen Itza, in Mexico. I gave a wry grin; I’m good at wry grins.

The female clinging to the man’s arm said in a similar accent, “It’s nice ‘ere, init?”

There are places in England where London tourists are labelled ‘inits’ after their penchant for using the expression. More wry grin from me.

But then the man said something very archaeological. “How come they kep piling up them whacking great rocks? Din they ‘ave nuffink else to do?”

And this very question has worried me from the first time I saw Stonehenge until now. Why have human beings developed this penchant for piling impossibly great rocks up into henges, pyramids, palaces and even funeral mounds?

GEORGE: Wonder what they’ll put on my grave.

FELICITY: Something heavy, I hope.

No matter where you go these days, you’ll be shown huge edifices erected thousands of years ago. Take a tour to Peru and be shown Machu Pichu, to Guatemala for Tikal with towering ruins peering from the forests, to Egypt for the pyramids at Giza, to Cambodia for Angkor Wat

and even to the Orkney Islands, up there at the sharp end of Britain. On a special show on ‘Knowledge’ a wee Scot was showing the world the massive stone walls apparently erected over 5,000 years ago. What got into those folk?

Fiona: Whit are ye gaun t’ dae the day, Angus?

Angus: Me an’ Wullie Peter are gaun tae pile a Warland wheen o’ great muckle stanes whilst ye cairry oan an’ oan wi’ yer back-brakin’ wark, the noo!

Professor Unsinn Quatsch of Dummheit University, Estupido, Ca., having spent his life studying the Old Testament, believes that the serious rock stacking business began back when Adam and Eve were hanging out in the Garden of Eden and Adam was bored out of his mind. His numberless sons were bored too and so Eve suggested politely that, instead of slewing each other, like Cain and Abel, they might have fun making heaps out of rocks, monstrous great heaps.

Eve: Why don’t you boys find something useful to do before wives get invented?

They’ll find all sorts of stuff for you to do.

Go and make tall things out of rocks.

Adam: Watch out for that serpent, and quietly. I’ve got a headache from procreating.

And so it began.

But they couldn’t have been very good

masons because, years later, somebody tootling on a trumpet knocked the walls of Jericho flat.

Anyway, I don’t think that weirdo professor got it right at all. People have slaved on walls, pyramids, graves and monstrous stone statues because they were conned into doing it, probably, by the same smart-asses that invented deities for folk to fear and pray to. Those people became intoxicated with their own silly stories and so bewitched the local peasants to break their naïve backs in order to erect huge things that the con-men or priests themselves will be remembered by. King Louis the Umpteenth of France, par example, didn’t order the building of a cathedral to honour his god. He had it raised on the backs of his long-suffering serfs in order to glorify his own name. It served no other real purpose.

Of course it doesn’t always work. Nobody can remember who started the rage on Easter Island, out there in the Pacific Ocean, to cut out massive great blocks of rock then roll them on tree trunks, stand them on end on the seaside and then, just for laughs, haul slightly smaller boulders, only the size of Smart cars, then put them on the top. Whoever, it was that had that bright idea, eventually caused the island to be denuded of trees.

Og: We thought about which way to face them and had huge arguments. I won.

Mrs Og: That one looks like your Mum first thing in the morning, red face and all.

But it’s nice ‘ere on this island, init?

KOOTENAY ICE

Don Hay named coach of Canada’s under-18 men’s hockey team CALGARY - Don Hay has been named Canada’s head coach for the upcoming IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship in Sochi, Russia.

Hay, the coach of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants, led Canada to a world junior gold medal in 1995 and a bronze in 2012.

The two-time WHL coach of the year has won two Memorial Cup titles with Kamloops (1994-95) and one with Vancouver (2007).

He has also spent time as a head coach in the NHL with Calgary and Phoenix.

Jody Hull, head coach of the Ontario Hockey League’s Peterborough Petes, and Yves Sarault have been named as assistant coaches.

Jon Cooper hired as new Tampa Bay Lightning coach TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Lightning have hired Jon Cooper as their new coach.

The team announced the move on Monday night.

Cooper had been coaching Syracuse of the AHL, Tampa Bay’s top minor league affiliate. He is replacing Guy Boucher, who was fired Sunday after 2 1/2 years with the team.

Cooper will coach his first game for the Lightning on Friday night against the New Jersey Devils.

Dan Lacroix and Steve Thomas will handle coaching duties when the Lightning host the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. The pair will then remain as assistant coaches for Cooper.

The Lightning, at 13-18-1, are in next to last place in the Eastern Conference.

Raonic pulls out of Sony Open MIAMI - Canada’s Milos Raonic was forced to withdraw prior to his third-round match Monday at the Sony Open due to illness, but said he should be fine for Davis Cup play next week in Vancouver against Italy.

“I feel much better now than I did at 2 a.m. this morning,” said the 14th seed from Thornhill, Ont., who was scheduled to face American Sam Querrey.

It was the second straight year that hard luck has struck the 22-year-old in Miami. In 2012, he was unable to play Andy Murray in the third round due to an ankle injury.

“It’s just bad luck, nothing more,” said a pale Raonic, who said he had a fever prior to playing his previous match on Saturday against Frenchman Guillaume Rufin.

“This will pass and I’m sure I’ll be fine for Davis Cup.” Canadian Press

Lawrie to start season on disabled list DUNEDIN, Fla. - The Toronto Blue Jays aren’t willing to risk third baseman Brett Lawrie suffering another long-term injury.

The team announced Monday that the native of Langley, B.C., will open the season on the disabled list with strained rib cage on his left side. The Blue Jays had been holding out hope that Lawrie might be ready to open the season on time, but decided a careful approach was needed.

Last season Lawrie tried to play through pain and ended up missing two months with a right oblique injury.

Lawrie has not played since March 6 after he strained a muscle in his left rib cage in Canada’s exhibition game against the Cincinnati Reds leading up to the World Baseball Classic.

Kootenay Ice forward Luke Philp gets mobbed by his teammates following an overtime win on Sunday evening against the Edmonton Oil Kings at Rexall Place.

Ice and Oil Kings set to resume series TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Throwing pucks on net is a coach’s mantra it seems, from minor hockey right up into the pros.

On Sunday night in Edmonton, that age-old tip cashed in for the Kootenay Ice, as Luke Philp picked up his own rebound on the forecheck and put a sharp-angle shot on net that ended the game in overtime.

“It was awesome,” Philp said. “It wasn’t a very pretty play, I guess you could say, but it was nice to win and we were pretty happy.”

Philp’s goal happened in the same spirit as the Ice’s opening marker from Brock Montgomery, as the Kootenay forward got a

deflection off an errant shot from Jordyn Boyd.

That overtime win evened things up at one win each for the Ice and the Oil Kings, as the series shifts into Western Financial Place on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

It was a much needed bounce back following a 9-0 drubbing on Friday night that opened the playoffs between the two squads. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski had a rough night, with five goals in 15 shots, but his performance in the next game was one of the reasons for the win.

“A good response from our goaltender for sure,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill, as Skapski made 47 saves throughout the game.

“We had some chances that we probably needed to bury in the first period, but at the same time, we have to be better in the last two periods, for sure.”

The results from both games appear wildly different, but even Oil Kings defenceman Griffin Reinhart admits the 9-0 win for Edmonton wasn’t what the squad was expecting.

“The first game was a little bit flukey for us,” said Reinhart, “we got that many goals, but the second game was a little more of what we expected, and they did a good job of keeping us off the scoreboard and got one when it counted.”

Oil Kings head coach Derek Laxdal said Kootenay gave his team a tough game.

“I thought Skapski was outstanding and I thought the team did a good job of collapsing to the net,” Laxdal said.

“We hit four posts in the contest, had some great chances to win it in overtime, but they played that typical Kootenay game—just really solid, disciplined, detailed, didn’t take a lot of penalties and played right to their systems.”

Both teams are working on winning the special teams battle. The Ice had four chances on Sunday afternoon, while limiting the Oil Kings to only one opportunity with the man-advantage.

“Powerplays are a premium at this time of year and when you get one, you got to make sure you bury your

chances, and obviously, we want to be better on that,” said McGill.

Laxdal noted that his team seemed to do well at even strength, but allowed the momentum to shift when a few of his players got sent to the box.

“In the second period, I thought we had some really good fiveon-five pressure, and then we took a four-minute minor, and gave them a little bit of momentum,” Laxdal said.

“You look at the 25 shots they had last night [Sunday], probably three-quarters were generated on the powerplay, so we know we’re in tough here, coming into their building and we got to make sure we play a solid road game.”

Canada ready for women’s world hockey championship LISA WALL ACE Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Canadian head coach Dan Church finally got a chance to see what his team will look like for the upcoming women’s world hockey championship.

Canada held its first practice in Ottawa on Monday in preparation

for two exhibition games later this week.

The tournament will be held April 2-9.

“It was great to get on the ice,” said Church.

“It was a really good first session, lots of energy and good to be back together as a team.”

The roster was offi-

cially unveiled March 18, but Monday marked the first time the team was together as a group.

Many of the Canadian players compete against each other during the regular season - either in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League or for university clubs.

“It’s always exciting for all of us to be wearing the same colour jersey,” said defender Tessa Bonhomme. “It will be nice to put one solid unit together and we were all flying out there at practice.”

Canada will play the Gatineau Mustangs, a Junior B team from

Gatineau, in Petawawa, Ont., on Thursday night and Sweden on Saturday in Pembroke, Ont. Canada’s roster for the upcoming championships is nearly identical to last year’s gold medal team and Church thinks fans can expect to see a strong, skilled team.

Oil Kings feed off Reinhart’s leadership Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Big Cat is in town, and he brought his pride with him.

Bestowed upon him by an assistant coach, the nickname for Griffin Reinhart has stuck, and the Oil Kings captain, along with the rest of Edmonton’s big guns, have made the trip to Kootenay country for the next two games of their firstround playoff matchup against the Ice. Reinhart, the middle brother between the trio of siblings, is the second brother to get drafted and signed to a contract, after the New York Islanders selected him fourth overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

The 6’ 4” rearguard has had a big year, earning a spot on the Canadian squad for the World Junior Championship in Russia over the Christmas break while leading the Oil Kings as team captain to another successful season as defending WHL champions.

Reinhart has been happy with his performance this season, noting things have gotten better after having what

he called an average start.

“It started off pretty average,” said Reinhart, “and then I left for a little bit for the World Juniors, and then right into the Islanders camp, and when I came back, I think I started to elevate my play and carried that into playoffs. “…I think it’s helped a lot getting the experience overseas, playing in the World Juniors at that level, and then right from there, going over to the NHL camp and skating with all those guys—I think that’s elevated my skating and I’ve started training harder, seeing what the other guys can do, so that’s helped me a lot.”

Reinhart is the middle sibling between former Kootenay Ice forward Max Reinhart, a Calgary Flames prospect who is now playing with the Abbotsford Heat, and Sam Reinhart, who is playing in his second WHL season with the Kootenay Ice. Heading from the World Juniors right into NHL training camp with the Islanders following the end of the NHL Lock-

Edmonton Oil Kings defenceman Griffin Reinhart charges up the ice during a game against the Kootenay Ice last season at Western Financial Place. out in January gave him a renewed sense of purpose.

“I took away, especially from that Islanders camp, just how hard the guys train, whether its in practice or off the ice and what they eat and how well they treat themselves—I think that’s the biggest difference between junior and NHL

players, is how they treat their bodies.”

Oil Kings head coach Derek Laxdal said Reinhart’s defensive role has changed slightly since last season.

“His offensive production is down a bit from last year and we’re starting to see him turn into more of a well-rounded solid stay-

at-home defenceman with an upside on the offensive side,” said Laxdal.

“I think the Islanders camp really opened his eyes on the extra work you have to do after practice to play at that level and he’s come back with a great attitude that’s rubbed off on some of our kids.”

Woods wins Bay Hill, back to No. 1 Doug Ferguson Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. The moment was vintage Tiger Woods, and so was his reaction.

Seconds after Rickie Fowler made a 40-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole to pull within two shots of the lead, Woods posed over his 25-foot birdie putt until he swept the putter upward in his left hand and marched toward the cup as it dropped for a birdie.

Fowler, standing on the edge of the green, turned with a slight smile as if to say, “What else can I do?”

Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Monday and returned to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October 2010, the longest spell of his career. After all that time, after so much turmoil with his personal life and his health, Woods looks as good as ever.

Maybe better.

“It’s a byproduct of hard work, patience and getting back to winning golf tournaments,”

Woods said.

He essentially wrapped up his eighth title at Bay Hill with an eight-iron out of a fairway bunker on the par-5 16th that easily cleared the water and landed safely on the green for a two-putt birdie. Woods dangled his tongue out of his mouth as the ball was in the air, another sign of his swagger.

Just like his other two wins this year, Woods never let anyone get closer than two shots in the final round. With a conservative bogey he could afford on the final hole, he closed with a 2-under 70 for a twoshot win over Justin Rose.

Woods walked off the 18th green waving his putter over his head - truly a magic wand at Bay Hill - to acknowledge the fans who have seen this act before. His eighth win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational tied a PGA Tour record that had not been touched in 48 years.

This win had extra significance. He’s back to No. 1.

“I know I can be where I’m contending in every event, contending in major championships and being consistent day in and day out — if I got healthy.”

Tiger Woods “If I get healthy, I know I can play this game at a high level,” Woods said. “I know I can be where I’m contending in every event, contending in major championships and being consistent day in and day out - if I got healthy. That was the first step in the process.

Once I got there, then my game turned.”

A year ago, he came to Bay Hill without having won in more than 2 1/2 years. He left this year having won six times in his last 20 starts on the PGA Tour.

Next up is the Masters, where Woods will try to end his five-year

drought in the majors.

“I’m really excited about the rest of this year,” Woods said.

Woods fell as low as No. 58 in the world as he coped with the collapse of his marriage, a loss of sponsors and injuries to his left leg. One week after he announced he was dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, Woods returned to the top of golf.

“Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Vonn tweeted moments after his win.

Asked if there was any correlation to his winning right after going public with his relationship, Woods smiled and said, “You’re reading way too much into this.”

Like so many other victories, this one was never really close.

Fowler pulled to within two shots with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole, but after he and Woods made bogey on the 15th, Fowler went at the flag on the par-5 16th and came up a few yards short and into the water.

Fowler put another ball

into the water and made triple bogey.

“I was swinging it well. I made a few putts, and trying to put a little pressure on them, let them know I was there,” Fowler said. “Just would like to have that seven-iron back on 16. Just kind of a touch heavy.”

Woods played it safe on the 18th, and nearly holed a 75-foot par putt that even drew a big smile from the tournament host.

Woods tied the tour record of eight wins in a single tournament. Sam Snead won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times from 1938 to 1965 at two golf courses.

Woods tied his record for most wins at a single golf course, having also won eight times at Torrey Pines, including a U.S. Open.

“I don’t really see anybody touching it for a long time,” Palmer said while Woods made his way up the 18th fairway. “I had the opportunity to win a tournament five times, and I knew how difficult that was.”

VANCOUVER - Brad Jacobs is getting ready to exchange his moose for a Maple Leaf.

The 27-year-old Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., curler got comfortable wearing a moose emblem, symbolic of Northern Ontario, while skipping his rink at the past four Brier championships.

He is still getting used to the idea of wearing Canada’s colours in his inaugural appearance at the world men’s curling championship in Victoria, which begins Saturday and concludes April 7.

But it won’t be difficult to get motivated.

“This is the first time we’re going to wear the Maple Leaf on our backs, so we’re new to this,” said Jacobs on a conference call Monday.

“I think once we get there, and we throw on the clothes and we go out for practice, we’re really going to feel what it’s like to be Team Canada and the pride that goes along with that.”

Jacobs will compete against the world’s best with his rink, comprising of brothers lead Ryan Harnden and second E.J. Harnden, along with third Ryan Fry. The skip and his front end mates are actually first cousins.

Jacobs and company will try to give Canada

its fourth consecutive world title. As a youth, Jacobs dreamed of winning the Brier, which he did for the first time in Edmonton earlier this month.

The worlds? Not so much.

According to Jacobs, the foursome has not had much time to prepare for the Victoria event, either.

Jacobs, the Harndens and Fry were feted upon their return to the Sault Ste. Marie with a large turnout at the airport; a party attended by approximately 500 people at their local curling club, with some people turned away at the door; a meeting with the mayor and a special ceremony at a Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds junior hockey game.

Jacobs, an RBC accounts manager, and .J. Harnden, who works for the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission, and Ryan Harnden, a real estate appraiser, also had to deal with their day jobs. Then they had to fit in a busy practice schedule with Fry, who most recently managed a bar and restaurant at a golf course, but now curls full-time.

“To be honest with you, we haven’t scouted the other teams,” said Jacobs. “What we’re more concerned with is how we’re feeling going into the worlds.”

Canadians beaten 2-0 by Belarus in soccer friendly C anadian Press

DOHA, Qatar - The opposition coach was banished to the stands, there were five yellow cards, and a ruckus after a dangerous tackle.

Canada versus Belarus was a friendly in name only.

Vitali Radzionau and Uladzimir Khavaschynski scored to give Belarus, ranked 62nd in the world, a 2-0 win over No. 68 Canada on Monday.

The Canadian men had played Friday, losing 2-1 to Japan in another stadium in Doha.

The fatigue showed, said acting Canadian coach Tony Fonseca.

“We did not play with the same intensity as we played against Japan,” said Fonseca, who is the Canadian Soccer Association’s technical director. “But the attitude was there, the desire to win was there. But we definitely lacked a clear mind to take advantage of a couple of situations.”

It was a chippy game, with three yellows shown to Canada (Julian de Guzman, Marcel de Jong and Dejan Jakovic) and two to Belarus.

Belarusian manager Georgy Kondratiev was ejected from the match in the second half for arguing an offside call.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your drive helps you stay charged throughout the day.

Nevertheless, you could be overwhelmed by all the inquiries you encounter. By late afternoon, you’ll be looking for ways out of conversations and situations.

Trust your imagination. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Carry a notebook with you in order to jot down your many ideas. You’ll want to test them out on others before deciding which one works best for you.

You could be looking at different options to make more money, or perhaps you just want to travel.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might feel unusually knowledgeable, which could cause you to question the reasons for doing things in a certain way.

Your creativity emerges, and you’ll find the right path. Success greets you. A friend also could have some feedback for you. Tonight: Let the good times

roll.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Give a presentation in the morning, and speak your mind. You will see a situation in a different light because you’re able to make a change that you have desired for a while. Follow your instincts. A partner can be testy, so give this person some space.

Tonight: At home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take care of your business and financial concerns. News coming from a distance proves to be quite distracting. You have reason to smile, but you might doubt yourself or what you are hearing. Know that there are some details being left out. Tonight: Catch up with a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Others note your self-confidence. Whatever you decide to put on your plate tends to work because of your upbeat attitude.

Open up to a possibility of travel or consider taking on more responsibilities. A new friend expresses the intensity of his or her feelings. Tonight: Run errands.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

Though you feel be out of sync in the morning, you’ll feel far more together come dinnertime. You can see the difference in your energy through others’ reactions. You might be taken aback by someone’s behavior.

Say little, and watch what happens. Tonight: Do your thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to read between the lines will come through for you.

Others might not totally understand where they are heading in a key matter, but your insightful nature lets you know. Step back, and watch how the situation develops. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You know what to do, and you’ll do it. Understand that you might need to have a difficult discussion with a loved one. You have gone long enough without saying anything, but know your limits. A meeting points to a fun adventure. Tonight: Whatever sets your imagination afire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) News from a distance could evoke a discussion. The topic

involves real estate and your domestic life. Know that someone is passionate about his or her perception, but this could change. You will be centered and direct in your dealings. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner has a lot to say, and he or she will say it. You can’t escape this inevitable discussion, so step up to the plate and have it. Reach out to someone at a distance who cares about you; the discussion could be quite animated. Tonight: Learn a new hobby.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seek you out, and you will be forced to juggle many different concerns. Do be aware of the cost of pursuing several situations at once, as you could become distracted. A partner wants to talk money. Be available for this conversation. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I married three years ago, my hubby and I were best friends. Then his mother moved to town, and everything went downhill.

My in-laws disrespected and trashed my rental home. I was hurt that they would do this, because I was extremely nice and financially generous to them. Ever since, she has been working to turn everyone against me, including my husband. If he doesn’t do what she wants, she makes him feel guilty. She has put so many nasty ideas into his head that he has turned into a different person.

It’s not only her. His entire family is selfish, uneducated and manipulative, and they have a very “macho” mentality. I don’t much care for this new version of the man I married. Do I give him time and hope he changes back? Or is this simply who he was all along and I was wrong about him? -- Beth in Baltimore Dear Beth: We think this is the version of your husband that is most familiar to him.

When he is around his family, he reverts to type. It doesn’t mean he can’t behave differently if he is motivated enough, but he has to recognize the family dynamic and assert himself. It may require spending less time around his relatives, and he may be unwilling to do that. The real question is whether he likes being the guy he is now or wants to be the man you married. Talk to him about it, and if necessary, get counseling.

Dear Annie: When company comes and snacks are put out, I always include a small spoon so that treats like candy and nuts can be removed without a person touching the entire contents. But many guests don’t get the point.

One person came in saying he had been suffering from the flu and was still feeling under the weather, so we should keep our distance. He then proceeded to pick through the nut bowl, even though there was a ladle in it. I threw the rest of the nuts in the trash and hoped other guests hadn’t been contaminated.

Please remind people that their hands don’t belong in a shared bowl unless they’ve just scrubbed for surgery. Thanks. -- Staying Healthy Dear Healthy: Many people, sick or well, don’t consider that sticking their fingers into a shared bowl of snacks can transmit the germs on their hands to the next person. (So can a frequently handled serving piece.) You can ask your guests to please use the serving pieces because it’s cold and flu season, etc., but some folks will pay no attention.

Another option is to serve snacks that do not require that your guests reach into the same receptacle.

Dear Annie: I started to cry when I read the letter from “Heartbroken in New York,” whose husband drank. I made the choice to end my marriage of 21 years because I could no longer take the Jekyll and Hyde man I was married to. Nothing I did was “right.” I was “boring and unspontaneous.” The truth was, I was being sensible. He would drink, decide I was dull and then leave to go to a bar. Many of our fights were because I hid the car keys from him. Eventually, he stopped coming home and went directly to the bar.

I finally asked him to leave and not return unless he agreed to counseling. It was then that he admitted he is gay. I was relieved. I thought he would be happier now that he was being honest. But he is the same mean jerk to his partner, and he is still drinking. I now wish I had left him years before. I did an injustice to my kids by exposing them to his verbal abuse for so long. It’s better to be alone than to have someone who treats you like this. -- The Grass Is Greener Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
