Children from the Aqamnik School sing about Qat’muk, home of the grizzly bear spirit, at a special event at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Friday, Nov. 22.

‘Where the grizzly bears go to dance’

The Ktunaxa Nation explains why Qat’muk, the location of the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort, should remain undeveloped SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

With storytelling, dancing, singing and drumming, the Ktunaxa Nation spoke about the importance of Qat’muk on Friday, November 22 at a special event at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre.

“We the people have joined together tonight to stand our ground and keep Jumbo wild,” said Bonnie Harvey during the event.

Qat’muk is the Ktunaxa name for the Jumbo valley, where a proposed four-season ski resort has been approved by the B.C. govern-

“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”

ment. The Ktunaxa have been opposed to the development for the past 20 years.

Before a crowd of almost 500 people, the event began with a Ktunaxa elder telling his granddaughter why Qat’muk is so important to the Ktunaxa. The conversation was

translated by former Ktunaxa Nation Chair Sophie Pierre.

The grizzly bear spirit comes to help the people when they dance and ask the spirit for guidance, he explained. Qat’muk is the land to which the grizzly bear returns when it dies, and it is the Ktunaxa’s re-

sponsibility to protect it.

Joe Pierre then shared several stories about the grizzly bear. The grizzly bear offers itself as a spiritual guide, protector and guardian to the people, he explained.

Renowned Columbia Valley mountaineer and photographer Pat Morrow and his wife Baiba then gave a photo presentation on the spiritual significance of mountains in different cultures all over the world, including in Nepal, Tibet, India, Bhutan and Japan.

“My health and wellbeing is dependent on being out there in the wild and wonderful,” said Pat. “If we don’t stand up for the things that are sacred to us, where would we be?”

“We are here in support of the Ktunaxa Nation and their efforts to stop this truly profane development in Ktunaxa territory,” said Baiba.

St. Mary’s Band member Bonnie Harvey spoke about the Ktunaxa’s application for a judicial review in the

B.C. Supreme Court of the provincial government’s decision to enter into a Master Development Agreement with the developer of Jumbo Glacier Resort.

That judicial review will begin on Monday, January 6, 2014.

“We pray that our efforts will be positive in January,” said Bonnie.

Children from the Ktunaxa Nation then sang and danced on stage.

In the grand finale, flags from each of the Ktunaxa’s communities were walked on stage through the audience while children from Aqamnik School sang about Qat’muk.

As the event concluded, the audience gave a standing ovation to the performers.

Local artist featured in International Artist Magazine C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Kimberley’s MaryAnn Bidder is a long time member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has had numerous paintings juried into Federation shows at the Federation Gallery in Vancouver. Many of those paintings have received awards.

This award winning artist, known for highly detailed and realistic watercolours, will be gaining more recognition internationally this month, with an eight-

page layout in International Artist magazine.

The article takes the reader through the creation of her painting Jimmy’s Shed.

Bidder was inspired to paint the shed, belonging to Kimberley resident Jim McKim, when she saw it up the St. Mary Road. The magazine takes us through every step of the painting, from the many photographs Bidder took from all angles, through sketches to the first wash of colour to final details..

Bidder spent much

of the beginning of 2013 preparing the article.

“As soon as I saw Jimmy’s Shed I knew I had to paint it,” Bidder told the magazine. “It has so much character and so many unanswered questions. What is behind the broken window and the door that is held closed with a rusty bucket? What was in those barrels?”

After spending much of this year working on the painting and the article, Bidder will now move on to a project close to her heart. Her son Robert, a former

member of the Canadian military, suffers from Post Traumatic Stress and works closely with the organization Soldier On, which assists wounded veterans as the adapt to changed

lives. Bidder will paint a soldier who returned from Afghanistan after having lost both his legs.

He learned to sit ski through Soldier On and Bidder will paint him on the sit ski.

The painting will be auctioned off to raise funds for Soldier On. Bidder is also a member of the International Guild of Realism.

Her paintings can be seen locally at Trickle

Food Bank at the hockey game a great success

Most successful Food Bank Dynamiter event ever held C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

“It was a damn good night,” says Kimberley Food Bank Director Malcolm Fruin of the Kimberley Dynamiter Friday night for the Food Bank. “The Dynamiters won which made it even better.”

Fruin reports that well over 400 people attended and food donations amounted to a value of over $2,000.

“That’s the largest

we’ve ever had. There was an absolute mountain of food.”

There were also cash donations of $425.

The Food Bank fall raffle was drawn at the game as well.

Winner of the first prize of $1000, furnished by Marc and Eleanor Poirier of Meadowbrook Greenhouses was Peter Munroe of Kimberley.

Second prize of box tickets to an ICE game furnished BA Blacktop went to Jim Penson of Kimberley and third prize, two nights accommodation fro Kimberley Lodging Company

went to Dennis Couture of Alberta.

The raffle brought in $4000 for the Food Bank.

“All in all it was a pretty big night for the Food Bank,” Fruin said. “The generosity of attendees was greater than ever.

We’d like to thank everybody for coming and bringing something, and thank teh Dynamiters organization, who went out of their way to help us, and also Chalet GM, who provided a truck to transport the donations. It was a really good night.”

Friends of Lois Creek making plans NIGEL KIT TO For the Bulletin

Recently some of the key volunteers from the Friends of Lois Creek got together to discuss the proposed logging plans, and to start considering trail plans for winter and further into next year. The Lois Creek trails are accessible from near Centennial Hall on 4th Avenue, and from two trailheads in Townsite. It is a well used trail network enjoyed by a variety of different non-motorised trail users. The Friends of Lois Creek are a group of volunteers doing much of the endless clearing and trail improvements made over many years.

The Kimberley Trails Society works with the Friends of Lois Creek, assisting with the formal land management agreements, liability insurance and other administrative and organizational work.

Communications from Canfor about the proposed logging were discussed at the meeting. It was reported that logging operations slated for this coming winter are currently on hold whilst additional assessment is made around water quality and other hydrology issues. Communication and consultation from Canfor has been very good to date, with more meetings scheduled into the new year.

Some ski track setting is being considered for this winter. There is discussion about providing some double track sections to separate skiers and walkers, and some consideration towards designating some trails for specific use. Additional improvements to the ‘Tea Spot Loop’ signage are being planned, as well as signage for a new kiosk. People may have noticed a new kiosk on the east side of Centennial Hall, this will be to pro-

mote the lower trailhead near Morrison Sub and take advantage of parking to minimise congestion.

Among many other things discussed were a bridge replacement, more trail tweaks and repairs, and a permanent shelter for the Tea Spot. Dog waste man-

agement was a significant concern raised, with a short term solution of placing a ‘poop scoop’ and signs at the Townsite trailheads to encourage dog owners to do the right thing and clean up after their dogs. Talks with the City of Kimberley are also planned in hopes

of providing bag dispensers.

The Kimberley Trails Society’s Annual General Meeting is on December 3rd, 7pm at the Kimberley Nordic Centre. Lois Creek Trails will be on the agenda along with the many other trail areas.

The Friends of Lois

Creek also felt it most important to get together with our trail users soon to provide an opportunity to contribute on how we are caring for and managing such a valuable asset. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday January 16th at Lindsay Park School.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Arena Acoustics

The editorial in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman on Friday, November 22 on the PA system and acoustics in Western Financial Place was bang on.

The sound system in the arena is 15-year-old technology and it would appear that it was not a high end purchase to begin with. City Council needs to realize it is their job to upgrade a 15-year-old system with decent equipment so that everyone can hear what is being said. People have left and are leaving Western Financial Place hockey games and not returning because of the racket generated by the PA system.

This not only costs the Ice money, it is costing the City of Cranbrook money and could wind up costing us our hockey team of young men who work their tails off to entertain us each and every game.

Instead of wasting millions of dollars on upgrading 2nd Street South, which is one of the better streets in Cranbrook, perhaps City Council could buy a new jumbotron, a new sound system for WFP and do something about improving the acoustics. This facility needs upgrades to improve the quality of experience when attending an event at WFP. Perhaps it will even improve attendance at all events and that might make the costs come down.

The comment about the roving announcer was again right on the mark. I think I could hear him better if he threw away the mike. The music guy and PA announcer must think the louder they turn the system up the better people can hear it.

The messages and music played over the PA system are a distracting racket that echo through the arena and that takes away enjoyment, not adding to it.

As you quite correctly point out the echo chamber effect makes a bad problem even worse, whether it is for hockey or any other performance.

Mr. Coulter expressed his thoughts very well on the PA system and acoustics and I support them with my additional thoughts.

It is now up to Council to decide if they are going to replace a perfectly good street or fix a sound problem and improve attendance at WFP for all events.

Larry Hall Cranbrook

Arena Acoustics

Townsman editor Barry Coulter may be on the right track with his suggestion that the City investigate the benefits of hanging absorptive acoustic tiles from the ceiling of Western Financial Place to improve the dreadful acoustics of the otherwise fine building.

Speaking strictly for myself and not representing the views of Cranbrook City Council, I think the suggestion has merit and may be a great way of improving the sound in the Rec Plex at a relatively low cost especially for the increasing number of great concert acts being brought into the venue.

Concerts are an important revenue stream for the City and paying down the mortgage on the Rec Plex is one of the City’s largest annual expenditures. As well, when the Ice score another goal, we will be able to hear the announcer more clearly.

Sounds like a win/win to me.

Councillor Gerry Warner Cranbrook

Big Pharma

In a previous Letter to the Editor I questioned the price we are paying for and the

benefits, if any, that we receive from the various trade agreements that Canada has signed.

Of particular interest now are the proposed trade agreements with the European Union (CETA) and the TransPacific Partnership (TPP). We are not being given any details but one item of real concern in CETA is the proposal to extend the “patent” period of new drugs by two years thus further swelling the already bulging coffers of Big Pharma.

A fairly recent publication by the U.S. National Science Foundation revealed that, of the billions in revenue garnered annually by Big Pharma, only 1.3 per cent goes to research and development; the rest going to marketing/promotion, “educating”the medical profession and, of course, bonuses and profit. This figure boggles my mind (it appears that the actual cost of searching for new drugs is borne by the taxpayer).

Couple this with the revelation last year by the British Medical Journal that, in North America and Europe, only 11 per cent of all medical treatments were found to be beneficial; the rest either useless or harmful. This in itself represents a huge waste of taxpayers’ money.

Add to that the roughly 200,000 deaths each year in U.S. hospitals attributed to properly prescribed drugs plus approximately 1.4 million patients seriously harmed by pharmaceuticals in the U.S. alone.

I do not know how these statistics apply specifically to Canada but it appears that, not only are we paying a huge amount for useless drugs, we are at the same time bankrupting our Medicare system with the fallout from harmful medications.

One bright spot … Big Pharma is doing nicely, thank you.

Fluoridation

The dark clouds of anti-science are gathering. The Nov. 21 Bulletin mentioned the harm caused by Dr. Wakefield’s flawed research that incorrectly blamed vaccines for causing autism. Untold numbers of children whose parents believed this nonsense have died or suffered as a result, and this myth still has traction.

In a letter to the editor Kevin Millership opposes fluoride addition to drinking water for cavity prevention. Millership cites the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) opposition to fluoridation as some sort of valid scientific authority. CAPE is an activist organization that anyone can join as long as membership fees are paid. CAPE opposes many of the same popular targets other Canadian environmental groups attack, targets such as coal-fired power plants, nuclear power, tar sands, pipelines and lawn pesticides. CAPE is not a scientific organization, however their scientific sounding name is useful to people like Millership who need to quote a scientific sounding authority.

Spotting on teeth may or may not be caused by fluoride, medications and other causes. Flourine is an essential element of the human body and is present in the mineral hydroxyapatite that forms part of tooth enamel. Fluoride is added to drinking water to rebuild or renew this essential mineral component of tooth enamel.

Many think this one item of public health policy has improved lives and increased average life spans in all communities where it has been implemented. Tooth

spots are a small risk to take considering the benefits of this medical advance. Other adverse health claims attributed to fluoridation such as cancer or neurological problems have not been proven in this extensively investigated health issue.

One of the reasons human life span has increased dramatically in the last century can be attributed to modern dental care; fluoridation played a significant part of this advance.

Marijuana potency

Can regulation of marijuana potency through legalization help our youth?

As a nursing student, parent, and active member of my community, I have heard too many times that marijuana (cannabis) is harmless. Like many of you, I shared that very same belief, until a loved one experienced a “marijuana induced psychosis”. I have since learned that just one psychotic episode can potentially lead to a diagnosis of schizophrenia or other mental illnesses, especially in the fragile years of brain development. This is a frightening thought for parents, family, and friends of loved ones experiencing more than just a “high”. These experiences involve delusional thoughts and paranoia such as thinking they are being followed, phones being tapped, and in general having difficulty in determining what is real and what is not. So what can be done to decrease these events?

First, we need to understand the components of marijuana and how they affect the body. To explain it simply, there are two major components in cannabis: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Health Canada states that THC is the compound that produces a “high” affecting a number of body functions, “especially those of the brain and nervous system”. However, CBD can balance the extreme effects of THC and some research has stated that CBD can treat such conditions like schizophrenia.

The documentary, “The Downside of High” presented on The Nature of Things, revealed interesting statistics reported by Health Canada. In the 1960s and ‘70s the THC content in marijuana was approximately 1 to 3 per cent, whereas today, they are detected anywhere between 18 to 25 per cent. This documentary also revealed that the genetic altering of the cannabis plant has yielded a higher THC content, but in turn, has reduced the amount of CBD. Could this be why there is an increase in marijuana induced psychosis leading to schizophrenia?

With the increasing hype and pressure to have marijuana legalized, perhaps a harm reduction approach to include a regulatory measure controlling the potency of THC should be explored. Similarly, alcohol has been legalized and regulations are in place to control potency levels. So why can’t this be done for marijuana?

I ask of those who are passionate about the legalization of marijuana to sincerely consider the benefits of imposing regulatory measures upon marijuana and to, perhaps, endorse it. Until such time that marijuana is regulated, I urge those of you who parent or mentor adolescents and young adults to educate yourselves and others to the dangerous adverse effects that marijuana users may encounter.

poverty without investing equally in all its children. And yet girls in developing countries are among the most disadvantaged people on the planet.” Also from the Because I Am a Girl website: “Girls can change the world but they can’t do it without you.”

As we head into the holiday season and reflect on all we have and all we are grateful for, I ask grandmothers, mothers and daughters to think of the opportunities available to us all in developed nations like Canada, and the struggles faced by women and girls in so many parts of the globe.

Think of the possibility of your daughter being born into a society that won’t let her learn, that would treat her like chattel, that would forbid her free expression, even the right to an opinion, and provide no opportunity for a life fulfilled.

I think of watching my oldest daughter receive her undergrad degree a few years ago — the look on her face as she walked across the stage at the University of Calgary. It was pride and accomplishment all wrapped up in one big glowing smile. No one told her she couldn’t do it because she was a girl.

No girl — anywhere — should ever hear that.

Wild head to provincial championships

Mount Baker Secondary squads start action on Wednesday, Boys in Kelowna, Girls in Penticton B A R RY CO U LT E R

The Mount Baker Wild volleyball squads — Senior Boys and Senior Girls — set out for the Okanagan Tuesday morning for provincial championships.

The AAA Senior Boys are in action bright and early Wednesday morning in Kelowna, with three games against other teams in their pool.

Twenty top-ranked teams from around B.C. are divided up into five pools (Pool E through K — Pools A through D make up the AA side of the tournament.

The Wild take on George P. Vanier Secondary (Courtney), Vancouver Technical Secondary and Claremont Secondary (Victoria) Wednesday. Depending on wins, teams could play as many as eight games through to the finals on Saturday, Nov. 30.

The Girls provincials will be held at Penticton High and Okana-

gan University, where 14 teams and two wild cards will play over three days. The Wild are in Pool C (four pools of four teams each), and will face off against Kelowna, Argyle (Vancouver), and Earl Marriott (Surrey).

Friday will see the start of playdowns and quarterfinals, while the bronze and gold medal games will be held on Saturday afternoon at Pen High.

Boys Coach Fred Searle says both Wild teams are comprised mostly of Grade 11 athletes. While competition is expected to be tough, the Cranbrook teams are been playing exceptional volleyball this season, and should be quite competitive.

The core group will likely be returning next year as well, so the Wild teams should be quite strong, and able to challenge on a provincial level.

Good luck, Wild, at the 2013 Provincial Championships.

Coach Fred Searle, Austin, Chance, Dawson, Cole, Isaiah, Cody, Reece, Curtis and Drew.

Former NHL players sue league over concussions FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ten former National Hockey League players are claiming in a class-action lawsuit that the league hasn’t done enough to protect players from concussions.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Washington, seeks damages to be determined at trial. The players are also seeking court-approved medical monitoring for their brain trauma and/or injuries, which they blame on their NHL careers.

The suit comes just three months after the National Football League agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems.

The ex-hockey players claim that the NHL purposely concealed the risks of brain injuries faced by players, exposing them to unnecessary dangers.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll manage to pull a workable situation out of a potential failure. An animated discussion is likely to follow, which is exactly what you want. Be aware that you could be misunderstood. Be gracious. Realize that others often are distracted.

Tonight: Exercise first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your words finally make sense to someone who has created a barrier between the two of you.

Discussions will be lively and fulfilling to all parties involved.

Make an effort to bridge the distance between you and a loved one. Tonight: Be a little naughty and nice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your thoughts will be on your family, your home and the upcoming holiday. You might feel the need to have a serious discussion with a loved one whose opinion you respect. You need to be aware that you might not like what you hear. Tonight: Follow your gut. Be spontaneous.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Speak your mind, but be willing to hear others’ feedback, even if it is not to your liking. Be aware of your boundaries and honor them. Someone might melt when you finally do open up. Do not allow yourself to get triggered. Detach, if possible.

Tonight: Hang out with friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) What you think you have to offer might be important, but it’s not nearly as important as your poise. Others recognize that you are more than capable of handling a touchy situation. Your instincts will kick in and point to the right direction. Tonight: Consider calling it an early night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You know how you feel about a situation, but you might find it difficult to communicate those feelings. You will find a way to open up, and you will see results. You also will experience better communication. A meeting adds to your certainty about a choice. Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You could be more restrained than usual, and others might take notice. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. By assuming the role that you do, you will communicate exactly what is necessary. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Realize what is happening with a friend. You might want to confirm what you are seeing or what you think this person is communicating. A conversation enlightens you about even more information. Know what you want from this situation.

Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are in the position of picking and choosing your battles.

What you believe to be difficult might be a lot easier than you realize. Once a conversations starts, the cards will fall in your favor. Express your appreciation for someone’s support. Tonight: Manage your popularity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) News floats in that you take very seriously. You might not be exactly sure how to respond;

you might even ponder this issue. Pick up the phone, ask questions and communicate.

You will be delighted by how positive this news could be. Tonight: With favorite people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone will approach you with care. You are well aware that this person feels as though a serious matter needs to be discussed. You might feel energized and ready to gain a greater understanding of where this person is coming from. Tonight: Out with a close friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Do you feel as if someone acts like a mini-dictator in your life?

Perhaps your attitude comes across and is far more visible than you realize. As a result, this person might back off, which allows for greater give-andtake. Be open but not hurtful.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a boy in junior high school. I recently went to a social event for kids my age. While there, a girl spilled the beans that she has had a major crush on me for more than a year. We see each other often at school. I was shocked. She asked to hold my cellphone and then put her number into my contacts.

Here’s the problem. I don’t like this girl at all, but I’m getting tons of texts from her daily. No matter how hard I try to distance myself and let this one-sided relationship die, she keeps coming back.

Annie, I have tried not responding, deleting her from my contacts, etc. I don’t want to break her heart, because I’m not that kind of guy. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, and it’s starting to stress me out. I’m having nightmares about her.

All advice from my parents to shake her has failed. Can you help? -- Not a Heartbreaker Dear Not: Sometimes you can’t avoid breaking a heart. Be kind, not cruel, and take solace in knowing you behaved like a gentleman. Tell this girl as kindly as possible that you aren’t interested in a romantic relationship. Say that you’re sorry things didn’t work out the way she wanted, but she must stop texting because it makes you feel that she is stalking you. You cannot control her response. She may cry, be angry or even continue to text. Do not respond. It will take a while before she gives up, so be sure not to give false encouragement by engaging her in conversation, even negatively. Be totally neutral and uninterested. And patient.

Dear Annie: My uncle is a tax attorney.

Recently, the whole family was together for lunch, and we happened to talk about my job as a special-ed teacher. I asked my uncle, “If the boss declares bankruptcy, who gets paid first -- the employees, landlord or lender?”

Before my uncle could respond, my mother said, “You don’t ask lawyers for free legal advice.” I replied that no one seems to mind asking me for expertise. My aunt insisted that it is different because my uncle is an attorney, and my mother agreed with her. I pointed out that my grandfather, an accountant, often gave free professional advice.

So, let me ask you, Annie. If my uncle were a chef, would it be wrong to ask how long spices keep their freshness? Or the best way to cook a steak? People ask me stuff all the time pertaining to how to handle kids. Why is it that lawyers are sacrosanct, but all other professionals are fair game? -- Not a Lawyer Dear Not: We don’t believe this is true.

We think in your household, your mother and aunt expect lawyers to hand you a bill for professional advice. (It may even have happened with your uncle, the tax attorney.)

People ask lawyers, doctors, teachers, cooks and other professionals for free advice all the time. How they handle that is up to them.

Most don’t mind a quick, simple question, but more than that can be irritating, making the professional feel that you are taking advantage of them.

Dear Annie: “Lonely in My Heart” was upset that she cannot search for her biological parents until she is 18. Please tell her that another option is to contact her legislators and discuss changing the law regarding the age at which she can get information. It is nice when youngsters learn the legislative process through writing and rallying for change.

None of us is helpless. We all can work to change legislation. Indeed, one “lonely” person might enhance the lives of many “lonely” people. -- Fremont, Wis.

“I recommend Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health” W. Gifford-Jones, MD Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did!

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age.

Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

COUPON

Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called Medi-C Plus™.

300-pound Al Capone propeller stolen Justin Beddall North Shore Outlook

A brass propeller linked to Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone is on the run, again.

For the second time in as many years the 300-pound nautical treasure has been stolen from the gated yard of an office in Horseshoe Bay. It appears thieves used a dolly to get away with the propeller, according to its owner Joe Spears, a maritime consultant.

Spears noticed the prized prop was missing when he arrived at the office he shares with lawyer Jay Straith in the 6400-block of Bay Street last Thursday (Nov. 28).

A yellow dolly had been left behind in the yard area where the propeller was displayed, a spot not easily visible to passers-by.

It’s unclear how the propeller was transported away.

North Shore Outlook

Joe Spears is pictured with Cpl. Fred Harding after the recovery of his prized brass propeller in August 2011.

“It weighs close to four hundred pounds,” says Spears.

Spears received the propeller as a gift after helping coordinate a pollution response and salvage of the ship it was attached to, the Texada — a 112-foot boat with a colourful history dating back to 1930s when it was apparently used by Al Capone to smuggle booze.

In the years that followed it had several in-

carnations, including as a police boat in B.C. The Texada’s final shipment was diesel fuel. In 2000 it ran aground in a crossing near Prince Rupert, prompting the recovery project led by Spears.

“It’s frustrating because [the propeller] symbolizes a lot of people working together,” he says.

Spears had held onto the propeller hoping it would one day be dis-

played at the maritime museum originally planned for the waterfront in North Vancouver.

After plans for the North Van museum were scuttled, he found another permanent location for the prop, the North Pacific Ocean Centre in the Village of Old Massett in Haida Gwaii.

Now, he’s hoping the brass prop will be netted by police for a second time.

In 2011, it was pilfered from the same location and then recovered a shortly afterwards when it was taken to a metal recycler. A male of no fixed address was charged and later convicted on one count of possession of stolen property.

Spears says the propeller is valued at around $4,000 but to him it’s a priceless piece of maritime history.

“It’s the historical value,” he says.
