FozzyFest is back

Three-day music festival seeks permission to run again at Koocanusa S A LLY MACDONAL D Townsman Staff

The organizers of a three-day music festival held last summer at Koocanusa are seeking permission to hold the festival again this Canada Day weekend.

Darryl Stanat and Shawn Lafleur, directors of FozzyFest, presented their plans to the Region-

al District of East Kootenay board of directors on Friday, March 7.

The pair gave a history of the festival, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year, and talked about how they found the Big Springs campground on Koocanusa last year as a new site for the festival.

Because it expects to have 1,000 attendees, FozzyFest requires a special event license from the regional district to proceed, even though it will be held at the campground owned and operated by the Tobacco Plains Band.

A particularly dangerous year for avalanches, Search and Rescue member says Snowmobiler dies after being caught by avalanche near Gray Crek Pass; second snowmobiler survives C AROLYN GR ANT

One man is dead following an avalanche just above the Gray Creek Pass on Tuesday afternoon.

Peter Reid from Kimberley Search and Rescue says that both the Nelson and Kimberley search and rescue units responded.

“It appears that a father and his son-in-law went for a sled ride up in the Gray Creek Pass area,” Reid said.

“They were on a spur road, and went to turn their sleds around and triggered an avalanche. The father managed to get out and went down to Crawford Bay to call 911. The other was completely involved.”

Reid says Nelson SAR was on the scene in about 15 minutes. It took Kimberley 45 minutes as they had to wait for a helicopter to come from Fernie.

“It took about an hour for the Nelson unit to locate the man,” Reid said.

“They located him from a RECO device on his sled. He was right beside his sled, less than a metre deep.”

RECO devices, Reid says, are reflectors sewn into snowmobile clothing and located on sleds. Search and Rescue units and ski patrols are given the detectors.

KSCU in Avalanche claims life near Gray Creek Pass Castlegar robbed at gunpoint Continued from page 1

Nelson Star

Kootenay Savings Credit Union in downtown Castlegar was the latest to be hit in a string of three armed robberies that have taken place in as many weeks.

According to an RCMP press release, a man carrying a firearm entered the bank, located on 4th Street just east of Columbia Avenue, and took “an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency” before fleeing on foot around 1:18 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11.

“The male suspect is described as Caucasian, approximately 5’6”, slim build, wearing black cargo pants, a dark faded black hoodie and possibly wearing a ball cap under the hoodie,” the press release said. “His face was covered. He was wearing black shoes and dark gloves.”

No one was injured during the incident.

Police are not saying whether the incident is related to other recent armed robberies, including Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Salmo on February 24 and Johnny’s Groceries and Gas in Robson on March 7.

Shoppers Simply Pharmacy in Castlegar was also robbed by somebody carrying a shotgun on November 13.

Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for anyone acting suspiciously or lurking around businesses. Call 9-1-1 if you see someone that you feel the police should be checking.

If you have any information relating to the latest offense, police are urging you to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or Castlegar RCMP at 250365-7721.

“We use it when we know the subject doesn’t have a beacon,” Reid said.

Despite the victim being found only a metre deep, Nelson SAR members were unable to resuscitate him and he was pronounced deceased once he was transported to Nelson.

The BC Coroners Service had not yet released the name of the victim at press time.

Reid says the avalanche was not a particularly large one, perhaps 400 metres wide and 600 metres deep.

“It wasn’t that big. I might class it as a 1.5 or 2. It was a cut block facing west and they

were parked underneath it.

Just the open cut block slid.

They might have thought they were safe there but everything is dangerous. Just because you are on a logging road doesn’t mean you are safe. Logging roads go through avalanche terrain.”

Reid says avalanche terrain is particularly dangerous this year and he believes that sometimes people see a rating of “considerable” from the Avalanche Centre and think that means it’s okay.

“People think considerable means safe, but it means avalanches are likely and hu-

Continued from page 1 pride ourselves on that.”

He said that they will take steps to alleviate noise problems experienced last year, by closing down the beach stage at night, pointing speakers away from the lake, and using sound baffling techniques.

“We can’t guarantee there won’t be any complaints, but we definitely think we can limit the number of complaints.

All those steps we can

He says that Kimberley and Cranbrook SAR units have built a snow study pit behind the ski hill.

“Basically you’ve got ball bearings under a snow pack. It takes quite a bit to trigger it — a skier might not, but a snowmobile would. But when it rips, it’s big.”

Reid urges backcountry users to take a good look at avalanche conditions, and if they must go out, go out prepared because it is unlikely rescue teams will reach you in time.

“Avalanche response is recovery,” he said. “You need to save yourself. We can’t respond fast enough.”

New outdoors group hosts open house FJ Hurtak

The newly formed B.C. chapter of the North American-based Backcountry Hunters and Anglers hosted an open house at the Days Inn in Cranbrook on March 8.

“The turnout and response to our open house was successful beyond our Backcountry Hunters and Anglers expectations,” said Chairperson Bill Hanlon from Sparwood. “We signed up 23 new members and spread the positive word about who we are and what we represent.

“We believe that this

support shows the BCHA message resonates with a wide variety of people.”

The capacity crowd learned more about the fledgling Canadian branch of the organization and listened to guest speaker Land Tawney, Executive Director of the BCHA from Missoula, Montana. Tawney said that protecting backcountry opportunities, proper watershed management, and fair chase hunting were some of the priority issues for the group on both sides of the border.

Tawney also fielded

Fozzyfest wants back into Koocanusa The three-day outdoor camping festival will have three stages set up throughout the campground, two in the heart of the campsite and one on the beach.

Music plays from noon until 6 a.m. each day, but the beach stage closes down at 11 p.m.

Stanat said that festival attendees are in their late 20s and early 30s, and as a non-profit they aim to leave the site better than they found it.

“Anyone who visits our festival finds it’s quite a positive experience,” he said.

“We’re not out to make money. This is all about building community, and building lasting friendships and memories.

“We actually leave the site cleaner than when we found it. We

man-triggered avalanches are very likely. People are misjudging what considerable means.

There has been lots of discussion about maybe changing the word.

“There is also the thought that ‘it can’t happen to me’ or ‘I’ve been sledding up here for years and it’s always been safe’.

This year it isn’t.”

Kimberley SAR has a snowcat, but Reid says they wouldn’t take it out on a rescue right now because it’s too dangerous.

“We are seeing slides taking out old growth, not just in cut blocks. That Revelstoke slide this week was massive.”

take will limit the issues,” said Stanat.

As well as noise, directors raised concerns with the festival organizers about parking for a large number of vehicles, first aid, searches for any banned items such as drugs, firearms and fireworks, and ways the festival can give back to the community.

Stanat and Lafleur registered each concern and said they would work to change their

plans to alleviate the directors’ worries.

“With three months in advance, we can definitely keep communicating with everyone involved and make sure that we do mitigate all of the concerns that you have addressed,” said Stanat.

The board of directors will consider whether to approve the special event license at its next regular meeting on April 4.

2014 CONSTITUENT OPEN HOUSE

HOSTED BY DAVID WILKS Member of Parliament Kootenay Columbia Thursday, March 20, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

questions from the audience. He was asked several questions — including one about important projects the BCHA was working on south of the border, and also why he thought an organization like the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers was important to all backcountry users.

“One of our signature projects lies in the heart of Idaho in the Clearwater Basin,” Tawney said.

“We have been working for over five years with ranchers, loggers, ATV

users, local elected officials and other conservation organizations to come up with a watershed-wide project that gives certainty to all.

“The backcountry experience we think is important to all that use it, regardless if you hunt or fish. The solitude, challenge, and the rewards that come with the backcountry not only help us pass on our outdoor heritage to future generations, but in addition, clean, cold water for all.”

Tawney said he was

“very excited about the new B.C. chapter because it has so much energy and potential.”

The B.C. chapter is comprised of a seven-member board of directors, including four from the Kootenays: Bill Hanlon and Sam Medcalf from Sparwood, Aden Stewart from Cranbrook and Corey Phelps from Creston.

Correction

De Assumpcao pleaded not guilty An article titled “De Assumpcao murder trial delayed” that ran in the Townsman on Tuesday, March 11 and Bulletin on Wednesday, March 12 contained a serious error. The article mistakenly stated that De Assumpcao’s former counsel Buffy Blakley had entered a guilty plea on her client’s behalf.

In fact, Blakley entered a NOT guilty plea for De Assumpcao last November.

Perpetual motion rock and roll

Renowned rocker Zucchero making Cranbrook a stop on 2014 North American tour B a r ry Co u lt e r

A

musician of serious international renown is touching down in Cranbrook on a highly anticipated tour of North America.

Italian rock guitarist and singer Zucchero (Sugar) Fornaciari is a global superstar. He has sold more than 40 million records, and performed and collaborated with the likes of Elton John, Eric Clapton, Sting and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Zucchero spoke to the Townsman from Toronto, where he arrived last week for some rehearsals before the 40-concert tour opens (today, Thursday, March 13, at Massey Hall in Toronto). He had a message for the people of Cranbrook, in advance of his Tuesday, March 25, date at the Key City Theatre.

“Tell them I’ll be waiting for them at the concert, and it will be a fantastic night to remember.”

Zucchero’s music is rooted in rock, blues and gospel, with a strong pop sensibility.

His professional career began in 1970, and began to flourish when he moved to San Francisco in 1984, where he performed and recorded with a backing band that included Randy

Jackson (now of American Idol fame). He returned to Europe in the 1990s, and over the next few years became renowned as an endlessly touring performer and one of music’s most sought-after collaborators.

“I want to see the reaction from people, especially in places where I’ve never been. And see the reaction of the crowd to my music. This is exciting in a way.”

Italy’s Zucchero plays the Key City Theatre March 25.

Zucchero is always in motion, in a serious way. While it has been three years since he last toured North America, in 2013 he covered Europe and Australia, and the year before that he did a South American tour and a few spot shows in North America — New York, Chicago, Boston, Toronto and Montreal.

“But this time, is the longest tour I’ve ever done in America — more than 40 shows between Canada and the United States,” he said.

“I love to be on the road,” he continued.

“That’s my life. It’s a challenge this time, a big challenge that I want to try. In Europe, we do arenas, stadiums.

Here of course, I can’t afford this. And I want to play in beautiful places — (aside) from Madison Square Garden in New York — a little smaller, in theatres, in House of Blues (Dan Ackroyd’s club in Chicago).

“I want to see the reaction from people, especially in places like Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville, where I’ve never been. And see the reaction of the crowd to my music.

This is exciting in a way.”

As an Italian, of course, Zucchero’s lyrics are mostly in Italian — one of the most beautiful languages for music. But he does sing in English from time to time. “I think English is the language of rock and roll, blues, gospel,” he said. “But I’m only going to sing a few songs in English. Singing in Italian is the real thing for me, the real stuff. My opinion is that the music talks. Even if you don’t understand all the lyrics you can catch the feeling in the music.”

After almost a dozen studio albums, and soundtracks, compilations, live albums and more than sixty singles, his latest release — “La Sesión Cubana” (“The Cuban Session”) has just hit the North American market.

“It’s an album we did in Havana, with Cuban musicians,” Zucchero said. “It’s not typical Cuban music. It’s my music, with Cuban percussionists, basically. I always thought the Cuban percussionists were the best — they have a fantastic sense of rhythm. And I wanted to try this experience, to do my songs, some of my hits with Cuban percussion.

“The album was released last year in Europe, and it was very successful. And then we did a beautiful tour in Europe, with 16 Cuban musicians plus my band. And the record company, Capital Re-

cords, has released this album in America. And that’s also why I’m here.”

Some of those Cuban musicians will be joining Zucchero for the North American trek. In fact, it bodes to be a smoking hot band he’s bringing along.

“My band has been with me a long time,” he said. “Polo Jones (bass), a San Francisco guy, used to play with Aretha Franklin, Johnny Lee Hooker and others.

Kat Dyson (on guitar and vocals) is from New Power Generation, used to play with Prince.

“I’ve got a couple of Italian guys, on drums and keyboards, who’ve been with me from the beginning.”

Some of that Cuban element will also be showcased. Famed musicians Joachin Hidgalo (percussion) and Elmer Ferrar (guitars) will also be part of the band.

Cranbrook’s 600seat Key City Theatre will be one of the smaller venues on Zucchero’s itinerary.

“I love to play small places … (being that) close to the crowd,” he said. “I can see their faces. They start out sitting, but then they jump up and start dancing, and it’s a big party by the end. The places might be smaller, but the energy is great.”

The legendary Zucchero plays Cranbrook, as part of his Americana Tour 2014, Tuesday, March 25, at the Key City Theatre. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m.

The benefits of volunteering A Cranbrook woman talks about what she has gained since becoming a volunteer

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Volunteering can benefit the volunteer as much as the person they are helping. That’s the message one Cranbrook volunteer wants to share ahead of an information session later this month.

Diana Fitzpatrick, who is a member of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary, began volunteering her time eight years ago during a dark period in her life.

Her husband of 27 years, Mark Fitzpatrick, had recently passed away, and Diana was struggling to cope.

“He was sick for a long time. You think that you’re prepared, but when it actually happened, I was not prepared,” Diana told the Townsman.

“I became so depressed. I felt like I went into a big black pit and I couldn’t get out.”

She went to her doctor and was given a prescription for antidepressants. But soon after, a friend invited Diana to join her on a volunteer shift at the former Steepleview extended care facility.

“The very first day that I walked out the door, I just said to myself, ‘Get over it. These poor people can’t go home; I can.’ After that

first day, I was much better, and I’m still okay. I mean, I miss him, but there’s nothing I can do.”

She and a friend took coffee, tea and snacks to patients at Steepleview.

“We wore these pretty flowered red tops, and we’d just go around to each patient and give them what they wanted.

And we always sat and talked to them,” said Diana.

Now she volunteers at the hospital, and is involved with Better At Home seniors support service. Diana recommends volunteering not just for what it gives to the community, but for what the volunteer gets back.

“Volunteering has helped me tremendously – absolutely tremendously. I look forward to going in every week. I absolutely love the job. I feel like I’m giving back to the community.

“Sometimes I feel guilty because it has helped me more than I’ve felt I was helping the people. But all the way around, everybody’s happy.

“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I’m just so glad I did it. I’ll continue to do it until I can’t walk.”

This will include film-making, compatible outdoor recreation, tourism and limited essential industrial uses.

In like a lemon, out like a lime I was walking down the high road — a finally passed on, I turned to look at the nice London term which we should start puddle beside the sidewalk, noticing how applying to ‘The Strip’ (an ugly term) — long, deep and wide it was, and how the broken pavement around the manhole when I was splashed by a vehicle.

This is nothing new. I am frequently had created a sort of “puddle within the splashed by vehicles when they drive puddle,” and that’s when the second semi, through puddles beside of where I am following hard on the heels of the first, walking on the sidewalk.

this happened. And as I was only going a short distance, to get a coffee from down the street, I had decided not to wear my coat. In fact, I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt — a little too summer-weight for the season. “But I’ll only be outside for a minute,” I had thought. “What could possibly happen?”

Looking back, it would have been better if I had been walking down the sidewalk full-on naked. I would have at least had dry clothes to put on when I got back to the office. Next time I go for coffee …

The Big Splash, as I think of it, had a very limited time window. One day it was the deep heart of winter. March 1 set a record for cold on calendar date. The next days brought more than 12 centimetres of snow, with all the accompanying insanity.

And in the following days, the temperature soared, and all that snow turned into water just like that.

Over a two-day period, that water had nowhere to go but into our basements, seeking its own level as it were. So at the same time that I’m complaining about the Big Splash, I’m also aware that many of you were also getting a big splash of your own, wading around in your suddenly watery basements, cursing, and dialling various emergency numbers. You have my empathy, for in this short, violent transition to spring, water in the basement seems like one of its rites.

Opinion/features

Spring is a good time to think about the future: what will we plant in our gardens?

Are we going to sell our homes?

Change jobs? Or decide what we think is important to our city?

Is this the year we get out and vote? Or is this the year we decide it doesn’t really matter what one person thinks?

Do we as voters need to decide where Cranbrook will be in twenty years?

Will our roads be fixed with no potholes to dodge?

Will we still be known for our state of the art liquid waste

and spray irrigation systems?

Will we continue to think that higher taxes don’t improve our city?

There are many reasons for everyone to vote for what they believe in this year.

What is important to you and your family?

Is it important that our children have jobs and are able to raise their families close to home? Will they still be able to attend an educational college facility that many would like in their own community? Will we still see the need for an indoor recreation centre and outdoor parks, areas important for the healthy growth of our children

and families?

Now is not the time to be apathetic about voting because if we don’t vote, we can’t complain after the election that the results are not the way we wanted. This is our city.

This is a reminder to those citizens who vote regularly to continue to do so, and those who don’t vote, is it time you changed that? This is our city.

Councillor Denise Pallesen City of Cranbrook

Good Samaritans What a night! A dark late rainy evening and a flat tire.

Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1899 Sidewalks Needed … It is time to talk about sidewalks or raise a fund for rubber boots.

New Building … Plans are being prepared for a large building that will be erected on the triangle at the corner of Baker and Van Horne streets just west of the Cranbrook Hotel and facing the depot. It will be a two storey building and similar in appearance to the Aiken Block, at the corner of Baker and Cranbrook streets.

Cranbrook’s Growth … The growth of Cranbrook during the past year which was the first of its existence, has been phenomenal, when the fact is taken into consideration that there has been no boom. The advancement has been steady and sure.

That speaks well for the town.

1900 A Brief Vacation … Last Saturday Mr. Ross, who is in charge of the city schools, was notified that he must vacate the government property as he did not yet hold a certificate in this province, having come from Alberta. The order was a blow to the people as they had secured Mr. Ross’ services on the ground that he was a thoroughly competent teacher, and a man with qualifications that entitled him to a certificate in any province. Steps were taken at once to have the difficulty remedied, and as a result a telegram was received Tuesday evening, announcing that a permit would be granted and that Mr. Ross should resume his work, which he did yesterday.

A Contemptible Trick ... Some time ago, when the Odd Fellows gave their dance at Forrest Hall, they borrowed a large Canadian flag of E. H. Small to decorate one end of the hall. When the committee went to take down the decorations it was discovered that the flag had been stolen, and as a consequence the Lodge has ordered another flag for Mr. Small. Of course the man who got the flag knows he

stole it from the Odd Fellows, and a man who would be guilty of such a low, contemptible, measley, yellow dog trick, would rob his mother, malign his sister and lick his brother. Such individuals are errors of the Almighty. They have the form of man, but the nature and disposition of a coyote.

Clean Your Back Yards ... Constable Morris has been looking up the back yards throughout the town, and announces that it is time now for the people to clean up their premises. He will give the people a reasonable time to clean up, and if this is not done, the guilty ones will be arrested and fined under the sanitary act.

1901 Ottawa, March … Col. Sam Steele, who was in command of Strathconas, has arrived in the city and is staying at the Cecil.

He is in the pink of health and will start in to work tomorrow to look over the work done in connection with the despatch of South African police. When seen by your correspondent Col, Steele said that he had accepted command of one of the divisions in South Africa of Baden-Powell’s police force at a salary of $6000 and $2000 for expenses. He however did not intend to go with the first detachment that was leaving this month. He was going to raise one thousand more men in Canada for South Africa and would therefore remain for a couple of months.

Smallpox … No more cases of smallpox have broken out and on the 14th the quarantine on the Hill will be at an end. The patient in Dr. Green’s office is still guarded, but in a week or ten days will be free. $5.00 In Prizes ... With a desire to encourage the study of the district of South East Kootenay on the part of the older pupils in the Cranbrook schools, The Herald has concluded to offer two prizes for the best essays on the district and Cranbrook, of $3 and $2 each. The essays are to be written on the following conditions: To contain not more than 700 words. To be written entirely by the pupil, with absolutely no help as to arrangement, composition or manner of treating the subject.

Those who enter the contest are at liberty to secure information from any source they may desire.

A huge thank you to good Samaritans Chris and Tara who stopped in my distress.

Chris simply took over; finding all the necessary bits and pieces in my car while using his and Tara’s cellphone to provide light on the tire.

By the time my husband arrived the deed was near done.

Thank you again for stopping in spite of the rain and the darkness.

People like you make this world a better place.

Honor To A Worthy Woman ... The members of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian Church gave their former president, Mrs. Bremner, a little surprise last Thursday evening. They gathered at the Bremner home, bringing with them a full supply of edibles, and proceeded to take possession. There was a jolly time, and before the evening festivities had ended, the ladies presented Mrs. Bremner a breadboard, as a token of their kind regard and unbounded friendship.

To Incorporate ... Cranbrook intends to secure incorporation and next Monday evening the Board of Trade will present the matter for discussion. It is the intention of the people to commence the preliminary work without delay.

Facts Are Facts ... The hotel registers of Cranbrook show that every day there are numerous visitors from Moyie, Kimberley, Wardner, Fernie, Fort Steele, Sandcreek and other outlying districts. The reason for this is plain. Cranbrook is the natural business center of the district. Meetings are held here for convenience. Business appointments are made for Cranbrook because it is easy for people from anywhere in the district to reach here. And those having government business to transact come to Cranbrook where they hire teams to drive to Fort Steele. The hotel registers tell an interesting story in this respect.

They show that if the people would consult their own convenience and be governed by the logic of conditions, there would not be a man in the whole district, except at Fort Steele, who would oppose the location of the government offices to Cranbrook.

Close Shave … “Mooch,” The Herald’s Canine beauty, has passed through the hairdresser’s hands and come forth a thing of beauty and a joy forever. He looks like a cross between a hyena and an Alaskan mala-moot, with a little porcupine thrown in on the side.

DENVER - Semyon Varlamov stopped 37 shots for his 100th NHL win and Brad Malone scored his first goal of the season, helping the Colorado Avalanche hold off the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Matt Duchene and Ryan O’Reilly added goals as the Avalanche took four of five from the Blackhawks in the season series. They also moved a point ahead of the defending Stanley Cup champions for second place in the Central Division.

Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad scored for Chicago. Antti Raanta made 26 saves filling in for Corey Crawford. It was the first time Raanta has been in net since Jan. 28.

With a goal and an assist, Duchene extended his points streak to a career-best nine games.

Varlamov became the fourth Russian-born goaltender to record 100 wins, joining Evgeni Nabokov (347), Nikolai Khabibulin (333) and Ilya Bryzgalov (213).

This also was Varlamov’s 33rd win, second-most in the league behind Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury (34).

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Mikael Backlund scored twice and added an assist to help Calgary rout Anaheim.

Backlund set up Mike Cammalleri in the slot for a power-play goal at 11:28 of the first that chased Ducks starter Jonas Hiller, then beat Frederik Andersen two minutes later to make it 4-0.

Backlund added his second of the night 1:31 into the second period, this time shorthanded.

Firing a wrist shot past Andersen as he broke in alone off the wing, it was the Flames’ second short-handed goal of the night and NHL-leading 11th of the season.

Backlund has four of them, tying him for top spot with Boston’s Brad Marchand and Tampa Bay’s Tyler Johnson.

Mark Giordano, TJ Galiardi, Ladislav Smid and Corban Knight with his first NHL goal also scored for Calgary. Andrew Cogliano and Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim. The Pacific Division-leading Ducks are 0-2-0 in their last four games.

Alexandre Burrows, with the first and second goals of his injury-marred season, tied it 2 at 11:17 of the third period. Andrew Ladd and Michael Frolik scored for the Winnipeg. The Jets have lost five straight.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Ice suffer costly 3-2 loss to Rebels TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice lost more than just a game on Wednesday night— they lost valuable ground in the playoff race.

First, the Rebels edged the Ice 3-2 in Red Deer, while the out-oftown scoreboard didn’t provide any relief as the Swift Current Broncos defeated the Saskatoon Blades 6-5.

Those results mean Swift Current dogs the fifth-place Ice by only one point in the Eastern Conference standings.

Rebels goaltender Patrik Bartosak was unreal, turning away a whopping 47 shots as Kootenay threw everything but the kitchen sink at him to no avail at the end of the game.

While it felt a bit like Bartosak stole the win for Red Deer, the Ice had some quality chances they should’ve buried, said head coach Ryan McGill.

“I’d say it was a combination of both,” said McGill. “When you have

point-blank chances and you don’t score— the goalie [Bartosak] is a second- and third-effort goalie, and we needed to bear down on some chances.”

Jaedon Descheneau picked up his 43 goal of the season, while Jon Martin tallied his first goal since returning from injury. Kootenay goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 25 saves.

Brooks Maxwell, Nick Charif and Scott Feser all scored in separate periods on the road to Rebel victory.

Kootenay was scoreless in two powerplay opportunities, while Red Deer wasn’t able to capitalize in one chance with the man-advantage.

After a turnover in Kootenay territory, Maxwell beat Skapski in front of the net for a 1-0 Red Deer lead early in the first period.

Cherif doubled the lead in the middle frame, wiring a shot into the net after entering the zone.

However, 53 seconds later, Descheneau scored off the rush while coming down the wing to cut into the Rebels’ lead.

With all kinds of pressure in Rebels territory, the Ice just couldn’t buy a goal in the third period. Red Deer added insult to injury when Feser scored with 3:56 remaining in the game.

“Obviously, we were more desperate in the third period, but we gave up a bad goal. Their third goal was a bad goal—not on our goalie’s part—but on our coverage part. It was a three-on-two with nobody back-checking.”

Less than a minute later, with six attackers out on the ice, Kootenay managed to get a goal from Martin, who redi-

rected a bouncing puck past Bartosak.

Red Deer shut it down after that, holding off the Ice for the win.

NOTES: Kootenay had scratched Ryan Chynoweth, Tim Bozon, Tanner Faith, Landon Peel and Landon Cross.

The win for Red Deer moves them up to sev-

enth place, jumping over the Prince Albert Raiders, who were stomped 7-1 by the Regina Pats. Ice captain Sam Reinhart has 99 points, with two more games to crack the century mark, which would be the first time since Jarrett Stoll’s 106-point effort in 2000/2001.

Cranbrook Eagles coaches Tom White, Adam Gareau, and Bill Watson accompanied the boxers to Spokane.

KRASNAYA POLAYNA, Russia - Two hundred metres into the race, Brian McKeever was suddenly on his backside and it appeared his ninth career Paralympic gold medal was slipping away.

But he wasn’t letting it go without a fight and the Canmore, Alta., cross-country skier, led by guide Graham Nishikawa of Whitehorse, caught up to the pack to win the men’s visually impaired sprint at the Sochi Paralympics on Wednesday.

It’s McKeever’s second gold of the 2014 Games and the 12th medal of his illustrious Paralympic career. The 34-year-old also won gold in the 20-kilometre event on Monday.

The two Canadians easily advanced to the final where a Russian skier stepped on McKeever’s pole, causing him to crash around the 200-metre mark of the one-kilometre race.

But McKeever scrambled to his feet and, with the help of Nishikawa, caught up to the rest of the pack.

“It wouldn’t be right for me to tell you what I said in my head, but once the cuss words were out, the only thing you can do is get back up and race,” said McKeever.

“I thought we were clear, but that is normal and it happens in sprinting when you are all fighting and tight. Everyone is going flat out. It is intense and everyone is at their limit. We are just fortunate it happened in the first 200 metres and not at the end so we had time to catch up.”

Meanwhile, alpine sit-skier Kimberly Joines of Rossland, B.C., finished second in the women’s slalom although the results are still unofficial after a German skier appealed her disqualification from the first run. A decision is expected Thursday morning.

Not including a medal for Joines, Canada has eight medals (two gold, two silver, four bronze) and sits third in the overall tally. Russia has a wide lead with 47 total medals while Ukraine is second with 14. Canada’s goal is to finish in the top three in gold medals but is currently in fourth with McKeever’s two. Ukraine is third with three while Germany is second with five and Russia leads with 16.

Nishikawa admitted he felt a rush of panic when he saw McKeever go down.

“It wasn’t until we got back up around the Russians and had the Swedes in sight that I felt a huge relief,” he said.

McKeever credited Nishikawa with getting him the gold.

“The snow was so heavy today. He basically towed me up that hill and ... and gave us a chance. It is not how we planned things, but that was a pretty awesome day.”

Raptors tick off another win in season’s home stretch, beating Pistons 101-87 C anadian Press

TORONTO - In the immediate moments after the Raptors’ 101-87 victory over Detroit on Wednesday, Toronto coach Dwane Casey sat down to watch the dying minutes of the Miami-Brooklyn game.

Amir Johnson checked the result on his phone.

With 20 games left on a thrilling season that sees Toronto poised for a playoff position for the first time in six years, the Raptors are excited, and thinking about little else.

“Hell, yeah. Without a doubt, man,” DeMar

DeRozan said. “That’s why I work so hard, and it always bugged me going home early, and just sitting there doing nothing. It used to make me so hungry just watching.”

DeRozan poured in 25 points, while Johnson scored 20 and grabbed nine rebounds in a game that was no thriller but served its purpose - one step closer to the team’s second Atlantic Division title and its first playoff berth since 2008.

The Nets, who edged Miami 96-95 on Wednesday, are three games behind Toronto for the division title.

ON THE RUN: Sunday’s race could have turned into a duathlon with the rather large flooded area on the street. Hosted by the Bigfoot Running Club, participants got ‘ferried’ across and started on the other side. It was a decent turnout with food and a $200 donation made to the Cranbrook Food Bank. The closest female and male were Tanis and Shawn Tomlin at -40 seconds and -7 seconds respectively. As they will not be at the next race, the next closest were Debra Parker at -68 seconds and Dave Floer at -12 seconds. Both will receive free entry into the next race - Pass the Chili on Sunday April 13th.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

Magnemizer Fuel Conditioning Shane Stewart Unit 1, 518-304th St

Magnemizer Fuel Conditioning is an emerging technology based on the discovery that high powered magnets placed in a particular pattern on fuel feed lines cause the fuel to burn at a higher temperature and more efficiently. This can be for your Home, Business, small commercial or large industrial locations. Most forced air furnaces, hot water tanks and hot water boilers/steamers will benefit from a rise in flame temperature for the same amount of fuel, less fuel is burnt to achieve target temperature.

Housing Market Off To A Better Start In 2014 Submitted by Jason Wheeldon

Historic Unit Sales for past 20 years

this representation is based in whole or in part on data generated by the Kootenay Real Estate Board which assumes no responsibility for its accuracy.”

T

he first 2 months of 2014 appear to be off to a slightly better start than last year in the Cranbrook single family dwelling market. By measuring the performance of the local city market trends can be analyzed and conclusions in most cases similar to the se m i- r u r a l ma rke ts around Cranbrook.

The first two months of 2014 saw 26 homes sell within the City of Cranbrook on MLS. 2013 sales volume in the City was down 24% when compared to the 2012 year but

prices held and showed no signs of decline. This accomplishment in the local market was largely due to lower supply levels within the market. As of March 1, 2014 we have 123 Single Family Dwellings available in the market place. Moving forward we anticipate sale demand of 20-24 homes within the local market over the next 30 days.

as we move into the peak spring demand periods. As of February we had 195 active listings in the residential market (includes SFD, manufactured and strata titled properties) compared to 186 in the same period last year. This number is still below the 5 year average of listing inventory and will create continued stability in the local market.

The local market has also seen a slight rise in listings for the time period. This increase at this point does not create a lot of concern

to be stronger this year in the City than 2013.

I attended the Canadian Home Builders Associ at i on l uncheon and listened to a great presentation from the CMHC (Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation) where they have predicted a 15% increase in demand in

2014 for the local market. This prediction appears reasonable based on the current market dynamics we have seen so far in 2014. However, in context the market was down 24% in volume last year, a 15% increase brings us to what we would call a

Exotic and exciting Tunisia

Poised between the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean, Tunisia has a lot to offer, says Maritime’s Carla Nelson

A

few years ago, I visited Tunisia as a port on a Celebrity Mediterranean cruise.

Though I was only there for a day, this small sample made me think I want to visit again. Not usually a traditional port of call for Mediterranean itineraries, it almost didn’t fit in for a European vacation.

Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa, bordered by Algeria and Libya, on the southern Mediterranean coast.

The temperatures on the north coast are mild and warm, but the south merges with the Sahara Desert and it is stifling hot.

The population of Tunisia is 10 million, with over a million in the capital city of Tunis.

The history of Tunisia evolves from the Roman Empire, through the Spanish, Turkish, French and Arab Muslim eras. Independence was gained in 1956 from France and it is

a Republic ruled by a President and abiding by mostly French civil law, even though 97 per cent of the population is Arab Muslim. Economic drivers include agriculture (wheat, dates, olives), oil, and tourism.

I visited the village of Sidi Bou Said, located about 20 kilometres from Tunis. This is a town of artisans and is perched atop a steep cliff. The view of the sea is breathtaking.

All the houses are white with blue roofs, window shutters and doors. There are lots of great photo opportunities here.

In the souk (market) you can haggle for blue and white bird cages, gold, and carpets (more on that later). Enjoy schwarma, crepes, kabobs, mint tea and strong Turkish coffee in the main square. Sidi Bou Said is surrounded by beaches, with few tourists to be found.

I visited a carpet shop and yes, came home with

a beautiful one. Well, not exactly. I had them ship it to my home. It took five weeks and I was worried, but it arrived!

My carpet is handmade woven and dyed camel hair, which you cannot stain, burn or cut (it was tried – one of their marketing features!). It is beautiful!

I don’t know if I paid a fair price or not for it, you just have to believe you did! Although, the sale of carpets in Tunisia is quality controlled and bears the stamp of the National Office of Artisans, and comes complete with a label stating dimensions, date of fabrication, technical components and even the number of threads. It is a fabulous reminder of my short trip to this very interesting country.

For more information about Tunisia, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager at Maritime Travel, Cranbrook – 250489-4788.

Courtesy Carla Nelson

With cobbled streets and blue-and-white houses, Sidi Bou Said is a town of artisans.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your creativity can spin a wild tale. You might feel the need to loosen up a loved one who often gets uptight with you.

You could feel pressured by the sheer presence of a key person.

Make a point to go off and enjoy some “you” time. Tonight: Be easygoing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You keep catering to a difficult person in your life. You might not be sure as to what else to do. Perhaps if you pull back a little, you might feel much better.

Decide to wait and give this person time and space to reflect.

Tonight: Go over the pros and cons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Understanding will evolve to a new level. You could be off base in your approach at the moment. Keep focusing on the long term, rather than on the immediate results of proceeding in the way you have been.

Fatigue is a factor. Tonight: Nap first, play later.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could feel pressure to perform to your max. Your ability to get to the bottom of a problem will allow you a little more free time to relax. Don’t get uptight about a workaholic in your life; this person is the way he or she is. Tonight: Treat a friend to some munchies and drinks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be working through a rather intense issue involving your domestic life. You could be wavering between being optimistic and getting upset.

You will need all the patience you can get to move past this problem. Tonight: Express your ability to enjoy the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Know when to back off from a difficult situation. You could be more off-kilter than you realize.

Take some quiet time. Awkwardness is likely to occur when trying to have a discussion with a loved one, as he or she might be clever at avoiding the topic.

Tonight: Vanish quickly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen to news, and be more

Tundra

forthright with friends and co-workers about a situation. A meeting could be beneficial, yet it also might cause some stress.

Your major concern revolves around your finances and not overcommitting. Tonight: The more people, the merrier.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You tend to change your mind about a situation so frequently that others could be left feeling rather confused. You might feel pressured to such an extent that you won’t be able to get your work done. Try to release some of the tension. Tonight: In the limelight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep reaching out to someone who has more information than you do about a certain topic.

You could feel ready to make a major move, only to suddenly experience some trepidation.

Confusion surrounds communication. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A close associate might be putting his or her focus into making a decision about an

important matter that concerns both of you. Understand where this person is coming from.

Confusion could be the basis of a misunderstanding. Tonight: Chat once more over dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others and encourage them to express their thoughts and passions on a new level.

You could feel overwhelmed by someone’s attitude, which has a very cold tone. Perhaps you want to bypass this person.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be seeing a situation differently now that you are in the midst of it. Consider making a change in order to handle the sprouting issues in a more effective way. Understand the natural limitations of the problem. Tonight: Complete some errands first.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 60 years old and feel that I have accomplished next to nothing. The only worthwhile things are my husband, two children and a lovely granddaughter. They are the lights of my life.

I was let go from a previous job for something I didn’t do. My current job is awful, and it stresses me out every day. But I have no computer training, so a job change is not in the cards. Besides, businesses don’t want to hire an “old” person like me. Because my job pays next to nothing, I began charging things on credit. What was I supposed to do?

I’m now in deep credit-card debt and am desperate to find the funds to pay it off.

I’m a hard worker, but feel like a useless failure. Don’t tell me to see a counselor, because there is no money to pay for it. If my car dies on me, I’ll be walking six miles to work.

At this time in my so-called life, I thought I’d be better off than I am. Please tell me what I can do. -- End of the Line Dear End: The quality of your life should not be based solely on your financial situation. Can your husband help you pay off this debt? Surely he would want to be supportive. Also try Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org). For a job, contact your local city hall or state government offices for help.

Then try AARP (aarp.org), which offers information and resources for senior-friendly companies.

But also, please don’t disregard your depression. There is free and low-cost counseling available through your local county services, the YWCA, any graduate school counseling department or medical school psychology department, United Way, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org) and the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems (lowselfhelpsystems.org).

Dear Annie: I’ve considered writing every time I read about someone who thinks their spouse is having an affair. Facebook and other social media have opened the door to secret connections, contact with old flames and private conversations with co-workers.

I didn’t fully understand the issue until I found that my husband was communicating with various other women this way.

I never expected this. My husband was an upstanding professional, and we had been married 25 years. When someone gets caught communicating with another and protests that “nothing happened,” what they mean is that they aren’t yet sexually involved. But a lot has happened. It’s a betrayal. Once a husband or wife closes a window to the spouse and opens it to another person, it creates an intimacy.

A better definition of an affair is that it’s something that violates trust. My husband and I now work every day to keep those windows open only to each other. He finally understands that it’s not sex that makes the affair. It’s taking your emotional passion and giving it to someone other than your spouse.

-- Trusting Again Dear Trusting: We agree that trust is the bottom line of any relationship, providing the security and confidence that allow it to survive for the long haul. We are glad that you and your husband managed to work on this together and repair your marriage.

Thank you for offering both good counsel and hope for others.

Dear Annie: Your answer to “Annoyed Grandma” about a grandchild with no boundaries was right on.

Our teenage daughter begged us to go to an unsupervised party, and we said no. Her friends even told us “everyone’s going.” In spite of her anger, we all made it through.

Two years later, she said, “Remember the party I begged you to attend? I want to thank you for not giving in. I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t want to lose face with my friends, and I used you as my excuse. I knew you wouldn’t let me down.” Tough love is worth it. -- Mom of a Super (Now 52-Year-Old) Daughter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Sandra Diane Dayman 1946 - 2014 Sandra Dayman, born September 29, 1946, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 8, 2014 in her family home of 37 years in Cranbrook, BC surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous seven month battle with ovarian cancer.

Sandra was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan.

She met Doug in 1964.

They fell in love and eventually moved to Cranbrook in 1974. Sandra worked for the Cranbrook School District.

She devoted her life to her family and never missed a chance to see her children play in countless hockey, basketball and softball games. The last ten years provided some of the happiest times for Sandra caring for her grandchildren, golfing, entertaining at their home in Phoenix, AZ and shopping at the Fashion Square Mall lovingly referred to as her “Office!” Sandy’s legacy is one of love, humour and effortless giving. Her family will miss her dearly.

Sandra is survived by her husband of 48 years Douglas Dayman, their three children Ryan Dayman, Julie (Kurt) Luttmerding and Kimberley (Mark) Seeley, her beloved seven grandchildren Taylor and Jordyn Dayman, Isabelle and Brady Luttmerding, and Katelyn, Abby and Tyler Seeley. Sandra is also survived by her sister Joan Marshall and her brother Dean Tidball of Regina.

Our family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Pamela Chu and her team of doctors and nurses at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary. We also would like to express a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Lenz of Cranbrook for his support and compassion throughout our difficult journey.

At Sandra’s request, there will be no funeral service.

Premier axes ex-MLA’s earthquake contract Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday she didn’t hear about former Chilliwack MLA John Les’

appointment until it was announced, and the deal is off.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton’s announcement Tuesday that Les would be paid

up to $140,000 to lead an eight-month consultation on earthquake preparedness was greeted by controversy over his qualifications and other interests.

NDP critics questioned whether Les’ experience as a mayor and solicitor general was relevant to the province-wide project he was to chair. The vicechair, former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services Henry Renteria, is to be paid up to $100,000.

Clark moved quickly to blunt the opposition attack Wednesday, announcing at the start of question period that the contract with Les has been withdrawn.

“It was a mistake,” Clark told reporters later. “I think the essence of leadership is not just making deci-

sions, it’s also being able to course correct when you’ve made a mistake, and that’s what she [Anton] has done.”

Anton said she discussed the issue with Clark Wednesday morning, and they agreed the expenditure for Les’ services was too high.

The sudden reversal came as the appointment was being questioned by Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, who said it was inappropriate for Les to take the job while lobbying for the company that operates the Cache Creek landfill.

Les has been a vocal apponent of Metro’s garbage incineration strategy and has lobbied Environment Minister Mary Polak to reject Metro’s new waste disposal bylaw that would end the practice of haul-

“It doesn’t make any sense,” Moore said Wednesday. “To now be representing government to work with us when he’s been so opposed to so much we’ve

done – I don’t see how it can actually happen.”

Les, who retired last year after 12 years as MLA, already has a three-year contract to chair the B.C. Farm Industry Review Board, which pays $60,000 a year.

Anton had argued that Les had unique experience as a former mayor and head of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, as well as a former solicitor general in charge of B.C.’s emergency management program.
