Niedermayer proud of golden repeat TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Staff

Canada defended their gold medal in men’s hockey on Sunday morning, defeating Sweden 3-0 to close out the Sochi Games.

Canadians home and abroad celebrated the perfor-

mance as soon as the final buzzer went, including former Team Canada captain Scott Niedermayer.

The Cranbrook native has twice won the same honour, first in Salt Lake City in 2002, and then four years ago in Vancouver as team captain.

Retiring from professional hockey in 2010, the Hall of Fame defenceman said he was proud of the team for defending the gold.

“It was different, a lot more relaxing [this time],” said Niedermayer, referring to the tense 3-2 overtime win

over the Americans in 2010.

“I got up in the morning to watch the game and enjoyed it. The team played well. I know during the tournament, there were some questions about certain parts of the game, but you could tell the players were really buying in

to what they were trying to do and they stuck with it.

“Really, that’s the name of the game. Once you start questioning what the team’s game plan is, or you’re not buying into it—even if it’s just a couple guys—that’s when things really go sideways.”

Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo (far left) learns that her team will be cooking cheesecake in a pressure test to fend off elimination from MasterChef Canada in the Feb. 24 episode. See Page 3 for a full recap of Danielle’s experiences in this week’s episode.

Even though there were concerns over Team Canada’s offensive struggles, the squad only gave up three goals all tournament, and never trailed anyone on the scoreboard.

“The goalies did their job, made the saves when they had to. I felt earlier in the U.S. game that [Carey] Price made some strong saves, just looked solid,” said Niedermayer.

“I think players can tell that, they feel that he’s ready, he’s in the game and they can trust him, and it looked to me that he did that.”

With shutouts in the semifinal and the final, the Canadians demonstrated that defence really does win championships. Not only did Team Canada have a suffocating defensive strategy throughout the lineup, but defencemen Drew Doughty (4G 2A) and Shea Weber (3G 2A) led the team in scoring.

With such an abundance of offensive talent, from Sidney Crosby to Corey Perry to Jeff Carter, concerns about scoring struggles were certainly warranted.

However, it’s the end result that matters.

“The big ice is always a bit of a challenge for Canadians and maybe Americans a bit,” added Niedermayer. “It’s a different game. Sometimes it’s difficult to play the more North American style— dump and chase and being as aggressive as you can be on the smaller ice.

New Bill 13 proposes off-road vehicle registration BARRY COULTER

British Columbia is currently one of the last provinces in Canada that does not require registration of offroad vehicles. The status may be about to change, with the proposed Bill 13, the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) Act. Steve Thomson, B.C. Min-

ister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, made the announcement Monday, Feb. 24 in Victoria, saying the proposed legislation will replace the 40-yearold Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act with a modern management structure, and will make B.C.’s backcountry

safer.

“Whether hunting, fishing, getting back to nature or just getting to work, many outdoor enthusiasts rely on off-road vehicles to augment their rural experience,” Thomson said. “The OffRoad Vehicle Act will secure the future of off-road vehicle

use in a way that is self-sustaining, safe and environmentally responsible.”

ORVs are used in a variety of sectors in British Columbia, including farming, ranching, forestry, oil and gas, mining, sport, tourism, transportation and search and rescue. It’s estimated

that 200,000 ORVs are in use in B.C., and while snowmobiles have been registered in the province since the 1970s, we are currently one of the last provinces in Canada that does not require registration of other off-road vehicles.

A press release from the government of B.C. says the

proposed ORV Act “is the result of extensive consultation, and represents a fair compromise for all user groups.” Implementation of Bill 13, including registration provisions, is anticipated in the fall of 2014.

Jody Hackett joins EK hospital chaplains

The spiritual care program at East Kootenay Regional Hospital has invited Jody Hackett to join its ranks Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

There is a new friendly face walking the wards of East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Jody Hackett is the newest addition to the spiritual care program at the hospital.

With a Bachelor degree in psychology and a Masters in counselling, Jody is uniquely qualified for the role, which sees her join two other chaplains who help patients and their families with spiritual care during a medical crisis.

“I definitely think in the role of chaplain there are opportunities to use the counselling skills, especially with grief and loss,” Jody said.

She began working in the position in early February, alongside Laird Siemens and Joanne Wiens. She replaces long-time chaplain Werner Froese, who retired in December.

Jody was drawn to the position at the encouragement of a friend who recognized her talents in the area.

“A friend of mine met one of the chaplains and said he couldn’t stop thinking about me for the role. He finally phoned and said, ‘I think you need to apply for it.’ I hadn’t heard of it at that point. So I met Laird and went through the interview process and got hired.”

Jody’s husband Frank is pastor at Connect Church and she plays a leadership role in the fellowship.

“What it comes down to in every area of my life is I try my best to not live out of my own strength and draw my strength from God,” she said.

“I love people and I love hearing their stories. That’s the biggest thing – just having that heart for people and that compassion. I love doing whatever I can to help people with whatever they are going through.”

East Kootenay Regional Hospital has had a spiritual care program since 2005. There is a small chapel in the hospital lobby, opposite the coffee shop, but the

chaplains spend most of their time on the wards speaking to patients and their families. One of the chaplains is on call at all times.

The Spiritual Care Program is fully funded by donations, much of which comes from Interior Health and local churches. Each chaplain receives a $3,000 stipend each year, making them not quite volunteers.

The Spiritual Care Committee is made up of hospital and ministerial staff, who handle donations and recruiting.

Putting a stop to bullying on Pink Shirt Day

Ask.fm

Wednesday, February 26, 2014

The website and smartphone app Ask.fm is a social networking site where people can ask other users questions. It’s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide.

The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const.

Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached.

Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

Kerry Vital / Black Press

Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians.

Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates.

On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bullying and helping children and teens who are being victimized.

For some people, bullying hits very close to home. Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them.

As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every day for 12 years. His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even

when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him.

“I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.”

At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional.

While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of his life, he didn’t feel confident enough to act on that dream.

At 33, he finally felt able to take that step and do what he loved after encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball.

“I never acted on my dream

because I truly believed it was just a dream,” he says. “I thought that dreams weren’t meant to be achieved.”

Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubley’s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help.

In the presentations, he shares his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares

this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience.

“I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,” Milmine says. “I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.”

Milmine’s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money.

“I always wanted to ‘help’ people and today I am lucky enough to be in that position,” says Milmine.

“Youth need to know that nobody can help them if they don’t speak up. You have to share, have to ask for help.

Give us a chance to help.”

children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis.

“Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,”

Milmine says. “People are talking about it leading up to it, and on the day itself. You’re going to talk about why you’re wearing a pink shirt that day, and youth are reminded of the resources available to them.”

Pink Shirt Day was started in Nova Scotia by two teenage boys who, after seeing another male

student bullied for wearing a pink shirt, decided to gather their friends and all wear pink to school. CKNW AM 980 was inspired by their action, and since 2007 has raised over $650,000 for anti-bullying programs in B.C. through the sale of their pink shirts. You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online.

This year’s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner.

Cool, calm and collected wins the day Cranbrook MasterChef Canada contestant Danielle Cardozo rises above the cattiness to produce a winning cheesecake

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

C

ranbrook should be extra proud of MasterChef Canada contestant Danielle Cardozo this week, who not only won a pressure test challenge, but did it while showing integrity and humility.

Read on only if you want to know the outcome of the Feb. 24 episode.

Danielle began Monday’s sixth episode of MasterChef Canada on CTV as the leader in a team challenge, a reward for making one of the winning dishes in last week’s episode.

Alternating with Rocky Mountain House plumber Dora Cote, Danielle chose fellow home cooks to appear on her team. While Dora seemed to be choosing her buddies, Danielle was strategic, choosing the best cooks and those with serving experience for the challenge where they would prepare and serve 300 canapes for an art gallery function.

“I spent a great deal of time pre-planning my strategy as a captain,” Danielle told the Townsman. “I was not about to let it become personal. I was there to compete. I picked the strongest players, ones who would complement my weakness.”

Some of Danielle’s teammates — we’re looking at you, Kaila Klassen — were sceptical about Danielle’s

leadership skills, but she quickly proved them wrong by remaining calm, happily taking input from her teammates, and quickly making a tough decision to change a dish when it didn’t turn out as expected. In an on-air interview, a surprised Kaila said to the camera, “Who knew?”

We did, Kaila, and now you do too.

Meanwhile, as Danielle’s team calmly got working on their canapes and stayed ahead of the clock the entire time, Dora’s team was devolving into what Tammara Behl calls “hashtag chaos”. They couldn’t agree on what to serve, then the samosa flavour was too strong, and when they finally began plating — late — Dora put the canapes on baking trays instead of serving plates.

Danielle admitted to the Townsman that she found it hard to relate to Dora’s clique of Tammara, Carly Tennant, and Marida Mohammed.

“It was definitely cliquey like high school.

I will be totally honest when I say I saw Marida, Dora, Tammara, and Carly as ‘the mean girls’ of MasterChef Canada.

But I made a point of not engaging. It’s not my style. I always put integrity and competition first.”

Unfortunately, the judges were underwhelmed by one of the

“Maybe we didn’t win the challenge, but we did win in teamwork,” said Danielle. “I took some major personalities that didn’t get along, and encouraged them to work as a team. In that, we succeeded, and that’s what matters to me. I am happy that I am able to walk away from a team challenge with integrity.

That is what is important to me.”

As Danielle told the camera she wouldn’t save herself from the elimination challenge because she felt responsible for the tartare’s shortcomings, the judges told the safe red team they could save two people from Danielle’s team. They chose Eric Chong and Pino Di

Cerbo, seeing them as lesser competitors.

Danielle, Kaila, Josh Gale and Dale Kuda — three out of the four from B.C. — were all told they will be tasked with cooking the “perfect cheesecake”. Danielle wasn’t perturbed.

“If you do well under pressure and have a large repertoire of cooking knowledge in your back pocket, then being forced to compete in a pressure test isn’t always a bad thing. The more you are forced to cook in the MasterChef kitchen and survive, the more experience you have over the competitors,” she said.

She knew a cheesecake wouldn’t send her home.

“I don’t say that because I am over confident. I say that because cheesecake and I have a very long history together. It has been a guilty pleasure for as long as I

OVR registration may be coming Continued from page 1 This does not necessarily mean that the vehicles will have to be insured, says Greig Bethel of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

“In Alberta, third party liability insurance is required.

It is common practice in other provinces. As for whether insurance will be required in B.C., the answer is not now. It may be coming though.”

The act, if passed and brought into force, will: • Establish a one-time registration system designed to integrate with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s vehicle registry, reducing implementation costs. ORVs will have to be

registered and display a clearly visible number plate before they can be operated on Crown or other public land.

• Allow the development of regulations on the rules of operation (such as wearing helmets), safety standards and conditions of use for a wide range of modern ORVs, including snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles or “quads,” dirt bikes and utility terrain vehicles.

• Assist in identifying stolen or abandoned ORVs, by requiring ORVs to be registered in a database that is accessible to peace officers at all times.

• Provide officers with more effective enforcement tools to target the small number of irrespon-

sible ORV owners that endanger others or damage sensitive habitat. This includes the ability to stop and inspect ORVs for violations, seize an ORV for safety or evidence purposes, and increase the maximum fine for offences from $500 to $5,000.

“The framework set out in this legislation responds to a number of issues raised by local governments,” said Rhona Martin, President of the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

“The extensive consultation undertaken by the province on this issue has resulted in legislation that balances the interests of many different groups.”

can remember!”

And indeed, Danielle totally nailed it, impressing the judges with her baking technique, her lemon-lime topping and her perfectly shaped, perfectly textured cheesecake. She had the win in the bag, and now her limoncello key lime cheesecake will be fea-

tured in a magazine ad campaign.

It’s the second week her dish has been featured outside the show: last week, her pork chops were chosen by Alexander Keith’s to feature in a commercial, and Kraft was inspired to feature a pork, apple and potato dish based on Danielle’s dish.

The cheesecake wasn’t quite so kind to Vancouver’s Josh Gale, whose dish fell apart as he was trying to plate it.

Despite trying to pitch it as being inspired by postmodern art, the judges decide Josh has to go, leaving a gaping hole where a top competitor used to be.

Danielle said the ups and downs of this week’s episode have made her a stronger competitor.

“Do I regret not seasoning the wonton and losing the challenge?

Not a chance. It gave me the opportunity to compete in the pressure test and win the cream cheese ad campaign. So a big thank you to the mean girls for not choosing me for immunity!”

And she has some special words for her hometown.

“I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support.

I have been overwhelmed by the support I have received from the community, whether it be on social media, or people stopping me in the grocery store to wish me luck.”

Tune in next Monday, March 3 on CTV for the next episode of MasterChef Canada. You can watch the episode with Danielle at The Heid Out, which will be serving a dish inspired by what Danielle cooks on the show.

It’s a big but small world

F

or the past seven months I’ve been travelling, never spending more than a few days in one place.

Last July I started in Oregon and drove with my two best friends across the United States teaching workshops, before beginning my job as the main photographer for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour, visiting more than 80 countries before the FIFA World Cup. As of today it’s been 195 days travelling and 68 countries.

It’s been a humbling experience, visiting all corners of the earth in just a few months. I’ve found myself walking through the poorest neighbourhoods in the world, seeing the poverty that so often only gets seen through a computer or television screen.

Often in the same day I’m taking photos of presidents, sports figures and important people from the country we are in.

daily townsman

Cranbrook photographer Joel Robison is travelling the world this year, as an official photographer on the 2014 FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. Partway through his journey, Joel has written a piece about his experiences seeing the world It’s a strange line to walk along, seeing and being a part of two very different worlds that not many people experience. For the first time I was left being the only English-speaking person in a room, the only Caucasian, the only person wearing shoes or with access to clean drinking water. And it was powerful and life changing.

These times of being a minority have humbled me, changed the way that I feel about myself and about the world around me. It’s inspired me to keep giving back and to keep making sure that I feel these places,

not just see them.

I feel that the short conversations, the high fives, the hugs and the smiles that I’ve shared with people from countries I never thought I would set foot in have built me up like a puzzle – each of those faces and voices, matching together to build who I am now. I didn’t know when I started this trip that I was missing all these little pieces in my heart, in my mind, but now after reflecting on all of these moments, I see that they’ve helped me feel more complete.

Some of my favourite memories of the last few months have been those

quick moments: kneeling in the dirt to show some kids how my camera works; watching a couple share a kiss in the setting sun; seeing families spending time together; and watching people share their love of football through dance, laughter and tears.

From living in a small town tucked away to being in the biggest cities on Earth, life has changed.

Every day while travelling, I try to find a quiet place to give thanks that I’m breathing the air that I am.

That my feet are touching the ground that I’m

on. I’ve done this ritual as we flew next to Mt. Everest, I gave thanks as I gripped the railing of a stadium that fits more people than my town, while I walked barefoot through a Grand Mosque and ran my hands along one of the Great Pyramids. I had tears while I prayed next to the tomb of Mother Teresa and silently smiled as I watched Buddhist monks meditate in Myanmar.

I like to think that if I take a deep enough breath of the air in these places that it will stay inside me, that it will help me feel connected to these places for the

rest of my life; maybe it will lead me back to them.

It’s amazing to me to think that my life has changed entirely because of the internet, because of how small the world can be. This job, travelling the world, came from me sharing photos online and having the right person see it.

When I first picked up a camera five years ago I never imagined I would be doing any of the things that I’m doing now and I recognize that it’s this “big, small world” idea that has helped me get there.

Remote Caribbean snorkelling idyll the topic of Thursday travelogue Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Get a glimpse of a Caribbean idyll at a travelogue that will be held on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook.

Allister Pedersen spent a week of January in Bonaire, a Caribbean island in the Netherlands Antilles.

The small island has a population smaller than Cranbrook’s, but it’s economy runs on tourism and salt mines.

“It’s a tiny little place, but it has the best snorkelling in the

world,” said Pedersen, who added that it was a better snorkelling destination that the Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, Mexico, Zanzibar, and even elsewhere in the Caribbean.

“I’ve seen more diversity down there than anywhere – from octopuses to squid and all kinds of fish.

“What we like about it is the island is basically a coral atoll so you can walk off the island almost anywhere on the leeward side and have great snorkelling.”

Above ground, the island’s rugged northern end is home

to large salt flats inhabited by iguanas.

“It’s kind of wild, once you get out of the towns and up to the wind ridge side of the island where there is huge surf. The north end of the island is very remote compared to a lot of people’s view of the Caribbean,” said Pedersen.

You can see photos of Bonaire and hear about Pedersen’s experience at a travelogue on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the College lecture theatre.

Admission is by donation to the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library.

Snorkelling is a highlight in Bonaire.

est people in my life have come from the same thing: sharing myself and becoming connected through the small world that we share.

Coming from a place a few years ago where I felt isolated, friendless and without a direction, I can say that I’m blessed to be able to be a puzzle piece in this big, small world.

The community that exists within the photography community is shifting from one of competition and criticism to one of support, friendship and admiration. I think that one of the most powerful and selfless things that a person can do is support someone else who is reaching for the same goals they are and that’s what I see amongst the photographers that I follow and admire.

I read a quote once that said, “Someone else’s success is not your failure,” and I believe that. In this big small world, there are opportunities for us all. We all have a vision, something that makes us unique and that will lead us all down different paths that are just that – different and not better or worse.

So with that, I’d like to thank you for being a part of this big and small world. For looking at, enjoying, commenting and appreciating my work and what I do and for helping me find the path that I’ve found.

Four more years! Four more years!

I

nteresting news, political junkies! The B.C. government will introduce legislation during the current legislative session to change municipal elections from a three-year to a four-year cycle beginning with the 2014 elections.

B.C., at the moment, is the only province that every three years elects — or re-elects — mayors and councillors, or puts important local questions to referendum, etc. Every other province is four years. So what position should we take on this issue?

This question has come up before. We at the Townsman/Bulletin even polled our various councillors as to what they thought. The results were split — roughly half the councillors thought it was a good idea, the other half not so much.

One school of thought holds that four years is a long time for a normal citizen (as opposed to a professional politician) to commit to public office. Most councillors still have jobs, or real world commitments, and a four-year term could become quite a slog. Then again, if most councillors felt this way, why would most of them seek a second or third term?

It’s likely that councillors would grow as politicians over a four-year-term — that they would, in fact, become more professional as politicians (and we’re not using that term derogatorily). One gets to understand one’s community and elec-

torate better, and is thus better able to serve and represent them. When we polled councillors last, some said that it took at least a year to get one’s feet under one, to understand the job. Suddenly, boom, it’s time for another election.

On the other hand, others offered the opinion that if you the voter are truly dismayed by the doings of your council or councillor, four years is a long time to wait to vote Barry them out!

The same is true of Coulter councils — groups of politicians clustered together.

Perhaps that extra year would go some ways to help them function as a unit, despite their individual differences.

Consider our current Cranbrook Council, which started out as a split between left and right, to put it that way, but which over time seems to be getting along and functioning just fine.

Then again, one could say the opposite is true with Kimberley Council, which upon its election in 2011 sailed smoothly along on untroubled waters, but which recently has become increasingly fractious and divided. Could be that with experience and time, councillors gain in confidence and ability — including the confidence and ability to challenge each other.

One wag here at the office suggested an interesting idea would be to do what the Americans do, and that’s have elections every two years where half the poli-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ticians are up for running (senators and congressmen). So half our councillors would run at a time. This would have the benefit, it was suggested, of eliminating candidates who run as a slate, as a team, and of course, would keep them on their toes as far as the wishes of the voters go.

We considered the pros and cons of this idea — and found there are only cons.

They can all be summed up in one kettle of fish — election after election, each following hard on the heels of the last.

I still remember the fall of 2008 through the fall of 2009. A civic election in 2008, followed by a spring provincial election in 2009, followed shortly thereafter by the federal election, and capped off by that boundary expansion referendum, of which we will never speak again. That’s a lot of democracy for a 12-month period.

And we mean the kind of democracy where the knives come out.

Plus, elections cost the taxpayers a lot of money. One less every nine years isn’t such a bad thing.

So, summing up, we call for an immediate and unanimous vote by all parties to extend the terms to four years, like the rest of the Canadians. So when we vote later this year, those in the running know that if they’re successful, they will have lots of time to learn the job and to serve their communities to the best of their ability. As well as all that time to be under the public microscope.

Niedermayer reflects on Team Canada’s gold medal in Sochi CONTINUED from page 1 “I think there’s a bunch of reasons why they were able to be so successful defensively and everybody was responsible for it.”

The roster was laden with Olympic experience, as 11 players were returnees from the 2010 gold-medal team, including head coach Mike Babcock.

Nitros beat Fernie 5-2 to open playoffs TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Nitros opened the KIJHL playoffs with a bang, defeating the Fernie Ghostriders 5-2 in Kimberley on Tuesday night.

Jason Richter led the way with two goals and two assists, while Eric Buckley also notched a pair, while Bryce Perpelitz also added a goal. The Ghostriders responded with efforts from Josh Teves and Jon Thompson.

Dynamiter goaltender Jeremy Mousseau made 24 saves for the win, while Phoenix Logan-Hill stopped 20 shots in defeat.

Kimberley won the special teams battle, scoring twice in five chances, while shutting out the Ghostriders on five opportunities with the man-advantage.

Kimberley came out flying, with great puck possession and put the Ghostriders on their heels in their zone for much of the first period. Indeed, roughly eight minutes passed before the first stoppage of play in the

game.

However, a defensive lapse in Kimberley territory allowed Teves to snap home a shot from the slot for a 1-0 lead after the first period.

“When they scored, we didn’t get down on the bench, we kept it positive, so it really helped bring everybody up,” said Nitro forward Jared Marchi.

Despite the early setback, head coach Jerry Bancks was happy with how his team came flying out of the gate.

“I thought we came out really strong,” said Bancks. “It was discouraging to be down 1-0, but in some ways—because we’ve had success against them, especially the last few games—I think it wakes the kids up.

“If we had been up 2-0, the next thing you know, it would’ve been 3-2 for them. So it was kind of a good little wake-up call for us to experience that, go through that and battle back.”

Kimberley also had a goal waved off in the first period, as

the officials ruled that the net was off the moorings.

But Buckley managed to tie the game in the second period on the powerplay, poking the puck across the goal line after Logan-Hill made a save off a shot from the point.

Four minutes later, Richter wristed a shot over the shoulder of the Fernie goaltender at the right face-off circle to jump ahead for a 2-1 lead.

Not to be outdone, the Riders answered back, tying up the game as Thompson redirected a shot from the blue line at the halfway mark of the period.

The Dynamiters opened in up in the final frame, scoring three goals to skate away with the win.

“I think we’re in a little better shape than them, so on this bigger ice surface, it helps us out a lot if we stay wide and always keep our feet moving,” said Marchi.

Six minutes into the action, Buckley scored the go-ahead goal, taking advantage of a turn-

over in the Fernie zone and beating Logan-Hill.

Richter added some insurance on the powerplay, scoring from the slot after getting a slick feed from Buckley.

Perpelitz put his stamp on the scoresheet with just over two minutes remaining in the game, sniping the glove side after trailing the play and receiving a pass at the hash marks.

The Nitros will be missing Eric Buckley for Game 2 of the series in Fernie on Wednesday.

Buckley was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for goaltender interference after driving hard to the net and running over Logan-Hill on a shorthanded attempt with 2:40 left on the clock.

The Dynamiters are also missing the services captain Darren Martin, who was suspended for three games after a staged fight with Fernie’s Aidan Geiger in the final game of the regular season. Fernie also has to do without Geiger for the same number of games.

Babcock, the head coach of the Detriot Red Wings, has previously been successful in international hockey, winning a World Championship with Niedermayer in 2004 and capturing a gold while leading Team Canada in the 1997 World Junior Championship. In addition, he’s also been to the Stanley Cup finals three times, winning the title with Detroit in 2008.

“He’s a good coach and he brings his intensity and focus. I think he does that well,” said Niedermayer. “He’s very direct in what he wants and there’s not a lot of grey areas. He tries to cut through all that.

“In a short tournament, that’s a big advan-

tage. You get these guys together for a short period of time and try to get everybody on the same page. The simpler you can make it, I think it’s easier for that to happen and he does a great job of that.”

While Babcock is certainly successful in his own right, he’s had some pretty good help from his assistant coaches in 2010 and 2014. Backing up Babcock was Jacques Lemaire (New Jersey Devils) , Lindy Ruff (Dallas Stars) and Ken Hitchcock (St. Louis Blues) in 2010.

Ruff and Hitchcock returned to the Team Canada bench this time around, joined by Claude Julien of the Boston Bruins.

“He’s not afraid to have some other people there helping him out,” added Niedermayer.

“You look at the other coaches who have been a part of it with him, they know the game extremely well, so he’s proven that he can get it done for sure.”

The NHL was in hiatus during the Olympics, and teams will get back in action on Tuesday night. Niedermayer is currently working as an assistant coach with the Anaheim Ducks, which sent seven players to Sochi, including Perry and Ryan Getzlaf, who represented Team Canada.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Understand that sometimes your expectations might not be very realistic. Your reaction to a situation where this proves true might be quite startling. Walk away from an angry friend or loved one. Give yourself time to calm down. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be on top of a situation, as you know exactly what to do.

Others simply might not see the situation in the same light, which might make it difficult to move forward. Optimism surrounds a new purchase or key conversation with a loved one.

Tonight: Chat up a storm.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen to news with your focus on your long-term goals. Be careful with money, as you could have an unexpected windfall heading your way. Hold off on going on a shopping spree for now. Do not put off a key conversation. Tonight: Reach out to

a relative at a distance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) If an associate, partner or loved one finally seems ready for a talk, and he or she seeks you out, seize the moment; this mood will not last forever. You’ll want to be sure of yourself and make sound choices. Let a loved one express his or her point of view.

Tonight: Be direct.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to do what you want to do, and you’re likely to jolt someone with your spontaneity.

You have a way of startling others that allows you to see more of their personality. A conversation can’t be taken back, even if you apologize. Tonight: Be around good music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to get down to brass tacks could startle a partner who might be used to the more easygoing you. Use care with your finances, especially if hanging out with big spenders. You easily could overspend or miscount your change. Tonight: Where the good times are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You might want to rethink a personal matter, especially as the other party involved could act in an unpredictable manner.

Understand what is happening rather than lose your temper.

Remain sensitive to a boss; this person could have some good news. Tonight: Time to celebrate!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you have been, and assess the possible ramifications. You will see more if you detach from the here and now. Have a conversation with a friend or loved one who can give you some insight. Tonight: Make it a fun evening!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be able to gain greater insight into a personal matter than you thought possible. You must be willing to hear the other side of the story. Imagine being that person, as he or she explains it. You could be surprised at your change of heart. Tonight: Hang out with pals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Once more, you’ll have an op-

portunity to express your knowledge of money. You have pushed hard to gain a reputation in this area, and your confidence will help others feel at ease. Be careful, as a potential backfire could occur. Tonight: Your time to play.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might regret a comment you recently made. Make an effort to clear the air, and do your best to get to the bottom of a problem. Others seem to respond well to you right now, so use some of that magic to get in their good graces. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time when dealing with a key person. You might feel as if he or she is responsible for a lot of the uproar in your life.

Remember, you could decide to put an end to the uproar.

Rethink who is responsible. Tonight: Choose a favorite scene.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a young man looking for a girlfriend. I have liked this young lady for seven years -- since high school. Our relationship has been on the friend side, although I have shown her that I like her.

Recently, she started to talk to another young man who has quite a history with girls. He has cheated on the last two of his three girlfriends. I am fine if she dates someone else, but I am concerned that she will end up hurt if she sets her sights on this particular guy.

I do not mind if we don’t date, but our friendship is in jeopardy. We used to talk every day during lunch, but now she is talking to another “friend” and ignores me.

She told me that she wants our friendship to continue, but she is the one destroying it. I am confused. How do I preserve this friendship? -- Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: Is your friend aware of this guy’s history? You can express your concern, but then please back off. She is apparently willing to be hurt, and if you try to protect her too much, she may end the friendship altogether. You’ve been carrying a torch for this young woman for many years, and she has yet to return your affections. We think it’s time you broadened your circle. This one-sided friendship is not healthy for you.

Dear Annie: It’s happened again. I’ve left another nail salon because the technician working on me began talking to other manicurists in their language. Am I wrong to find this practice rude? If I am paying for their time, shouldn’t their focus be on me and not on what I assume is idle gossip?

One technician even took glances at the TV while using the sanding file on me.

I worked for a large company and taught new hires overseas. We asked them not to converse in their language in front of customers. I guess my question is: Should I say something? To them or to the owner? Or should I simply accept that this is the norm in nail salons? -- Spokane Dear Spokane: This is not a personal conversation where two people are talking in a foreign language and ignoring you. That would be rude. At a nail salon, however, as long as the service is being performed satisfactorily, it doesn’t matter what language they are speaking or to whom. Of course, if they are so distracted that the professional quality of their work suffers, this is cause for complaint. You should first ask the technician to focus on the services being provided, and if that doesn’t help, notify management.

Dear Annie: Please post my response to “Miserable Forever.” I, too, was married to an abusive man for 30 years.

Dear Miserable: Ask your local women’s shelter for assistance in exiting the home, follow-up shelter and counseling. The counseling is a must. We don’t realize how much of ourselves we lose during an abusive relationship. We go from living to existing, and it took a long time to get there.

You can’t go from existing to living again overnight. It takes time and support. Give yourself the time to heal. You are worth it.

The legal matters are important, but they are secondary to getting yourself into a safe and healing environment. It took me two years to get back on my feet and obtain my divorce. It’s been three years since I vacated the marriage, and I am just now learning who I am. No one can take the steps for you or make the problem go away.

ewspapers are not a medium but media available for everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

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

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

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

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
