Bullock gets two years Man charged over carjacking, police chase in Cranbrook is sentenced Tuesday SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The man charged over an October 2012 carjacking near Creston and subsequent police chase through Cranbrook has been sentenced to another two years jail for the offenses.

Nickolas Bullock, 27, pleaded guilty last July to two counts of robbery, one count of assault with a weapon, one count of dangerous driving, and one count of evading a police pursuit, resulting from a crime spree on October 2, 2012 that began in Port Coquitlam and ended in Cranbrook.

The case was being heard in Port Coquitlam before Judge Deirdre Pothecary.

On Tuesday, April 1, Judge Pothecary handed down her decision on Bullock’s sentencing.

In what the judge referred to as a spree, Bullock and his 17-year-old girlfriend, who can’t be named because she was a youth at the time, stole a vehicle in Coquitlam on October 2, 2012 at about 3 a.m., with Bullock using bear spray on the victims. They drove across B.C. in the stolen vehicle.

At about 8:30 p.m. on October 2, a snowy night, a Creston man driving through Kitchener was flagged down by a male and female who claimed to be out of gas. When the pair got into the vehicle, Bullock ordered the man to get out and then bear sprayed him, taking off the man’s vehicle.

Later that same night, a police officer in Cranbrook saw the vehicle entering Cranbrook and tried to pull it over. The driver did not stop, leading to a high-speed pursuit through Cranbrook that ended in a rural driveway.

KIMBERLEY, BC - The City of Kimberley, in conjunction with the Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Disabled Skiers Association, would like to extend an invitation to join them in honouring Josh Dueck this weekend.

Fishing lodge follies of ‘The Foreigner’

Cranbrook Community Theatre comedy examining intolerance, transformation and the power of role-playing opens April 3 SANDRA ALBERS Special to the Townsman

The Cranbrook Community Theatre production of The Foreigner, on stage this month at the Studio Stage Door, is a revival for David Stock, who first directed the play by Larry Shue in 1989.

Mind you, if my math skills aren’t too rusty, that was 25 years ago (my, how time flies on the local theatre scene), and all I can say is, it’s about time.

It’s great that this play is on the boards again because (a) it’s a brilliantly written comedy and (b) the current cast of The Foreigner brings it so beautifully to life.

Jeff Cooper plays the titular foreigner, Charlie Baker, a pathologically shy nerd of a man, who is taking a short vacation at a rural fishing lodge in Georgia, USA. His army buddy, Froggy Lesueur (Jerrod Bondy), has talked him into it, and has also concocted a rather ridiculous scheme to save Charlie from

all the more effective given that the play is primarily a comedy.

The Foreigner is also a play about transformation. A dull man discovers that he isn’t so dull after all; a possibly slow-witted boy discovers that he’s smarter than he thinks; an older woman finds her somewhat prosaic life enlivened by the stranger in her midst; and a young woman discovers that the people who speak your language aren’t always the ones who listen best.

A final word about the set, designed by David Stock and Kirsten Taylor; it adds a wonderful ambience to the play, complete with faux wood panelling, plaid wallpaper and duck decoys.

The Foreigner plays April 3 to 5, April 9 to 12 and April 16 to 19, 7:30 p.m. nightly at the Studio Stage Door.

Don’t be a stranger.

In her day job at Koocanusa Publications, Sandra Albers has something in common with The Foreigner; they both toil as proofreaders. But she doesn’t find the job dull.

Honestly.

Caladh Nua performs for a capacity crowd Traditional Irish music is a hit with Kimberley crowd For the Bulletin

On Sunday, March 30th the Irish Celtic Group Caladh Nua had their full house audience clapping, stomping and singing along as they performed a broad spectrum of traditional Irish music.

These extremely talented musicians captivated the audience from their first medley of jigs and reels until the end of the concert.

Coupled with their fine instrumental prowess were several beautiful and poignant vocals by lead singer Lisa Butler and guitar player Colm O’Caoinh.

The group consisted of Eoin O’Meachair on banjo and whistle, Derek Morissey on accordion, Paddy Tuthy on lead violin and bodhran, Colm O’Caoinh on guitar and vocals, and Lisa Butler with lead vocals and violin. The blend of these instruments was magical and their arrangement of tunes created great variety while showing their individual virtuosity. Added to this was their great wit and subtle humor. The audience loved it!

Of the many highlights was a version of Richard Thompson’s “Bee’s Wing” sung by Colm and Lisa, tastefully accompanied by the rest of the band. Paddy performed a bodhran solo which was a real crowd pleaser. At the conclusion of the show the group received a well deserved standing ovation and responded by performing an encore set.

The musicians too were delighted with the audience and venue at Centre 64. Eoin said they would definitely come back in the future. We too will be looking forward to their The crowd enjoys an intermission glass of wine. return.

A special thanks to The Pedal and Tap for feeding our musicians and to Mountain Spirit Resort for subsidizing their accommodations.

The last concert in Centre 64’s winter/ Spring Series will be on Saturday, May 31st.

Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, a renowned Boogie Woogie blues piano player. Kenny and his trio will be performing in the dance studio with seating in cabaret style. Check him out on Google.

Seating will be limited to 90 persons so buy your tickets early at Lead singer Lisa Butler.

Ski season ends; does golf begin?

Bootleg and Kimberley courses target April 18; Trickle Creek, May 9 C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

As most Kimberley residents are aware, the ski season comes to a close this weekend with Spring Splash festivities at Kimberley Alpine Resort.

A lot is planned for the weekend at KAR, including the sold out Dirtbag Fest on Friday at the conference centre, the splash pool on Saturday, the Dummy Downhill Sunday, and lots of great, live music.

There have been years in the past when Kimberleyites were able to boast that they

skied one day and golfed the next.

This year will not be one of them. The earliest anyone will be walking the fairways of any of Kimberley’s three courses is April 18 — maybe.

Kimberley Golf Club is planning an April 18 opening, but they advise golfers to stay tuned because with spring in Kimberley anything can happen.

“Our target date is April 18,” said KGC’s Tom Vold. “How likely is that? With the forecast, we might make it.

“You look at some of the snow banks and you say, no way. Then you look up number nine and say, yeah, we could do this.”

You can keep up with the latest at kimberleygolfclub.com.

Trevor Simkins,

general manager at Bootleg Gap, says they are planning for April 18 as well, but it might have to be pushed back to the 25th.

“There is still quite a bit of snow to melt.

We’ve lost quite a bit over the last few days but warmer weather would help. Some rain would even help,” he said. “We will likely make the call next Monday.”

Keep up with the latest at bootleggapgolf. com.

The Trickle Creek course on North Star Mountain has a ways to go with melting, aiming at an opening day of May 9. However, they are taking bookings now at tricklecreek.com and are also offering their Golf More card, with savings of up to $49 per round.

Dueck at Spring Splash From Page 1 Josh Dueck has received many prestigious medals and titles over the years, including ‘Canadian Para-Alpine Champion’ a total of eight times.

“We are very fortunate to have an

amazing ambassador like Josh representing the city of Kimberley, the province of BC, and Canada wherever his adventures may carry him,” said Mayor McRae.

also.

On Tuesday, April 1, Judge Pothecary sentenced Bullock to six years jail for the two counts of robbery, two years for assault with a weapon, two years for dangerous driving, three years for the police pursuit, and six months for uttering threats. All sentences will be served at the same time, for a total of six years.

However, she gave Bullock credit for time served awaiting his sentencing at

time and a half because he was in protective custody for much of that time.

That reduced his sentence by two years.

It was reduced by another two years for reasons that can’t be revealed because of the publication ban.

That means that Bullock will serve another two years in prison.

The case involving the police officer is still before the courts, with the next appearance on May 20.

Selkirk Secondary Fly Tying Club thriving Jeff Bates For the Bulletin

The youth of Kimberley have long benefitted from the many activities available to them in and around the community, whether hitting the ski hill, biking the local trails, or participating in one of the many local sports organizations.

The local fishing scene, whether in the surrounding lakes or on the many rivers and streams close to town, has also been a big part of growing up for many of our young people. A group of teachers at Selkirk High School recognized this and decided to provide another great opportunity for students and started the Selkirk Fly Tying Club. What started as a simple gathering of students who love to be out on the water has developed into a thriving club for a devoted group of young fly fishers.

The beginnings of the club a few years ago were tenuous to say the least — starting from scratch, the club had very little equipment, materials were scarce, and the tying abilities of the organizers were limited. Over time, the club began collecting materials from local tiers, making new tools, even improvising and using materials from parent’s kitchens, sewing boxes and basement shops. This year marked a big step for the club: sponsorship was pursued, applications for grants went out, and a more formal request to local organizations made. The response was overwhelming, and the club is now in a much more stable position and the kids have the tools and materials to tie most any fly.

Through the direction of Lori Joe, club members applied for, and received, a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust Community Directed Youth Funds. Selkirk’s Parent Advisory Council also got on board and honored an application from the students for funds as well. Once the club established a bank account to purchase

young tiers and will surely increase the success rates of their fishing adventures for a long time to come.

The club has been able to offer shorter lunch hour sessions twice a week, and longer, more in depth tying sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays after school.

If you have a son or daughter who is interested in learning the art of fly tying, or already practices the art, they are encouraged to join us on those days.

As well, any tiers or

A major contribution came from Superfly and Joe Belohorec out of Edmonton, who supplied an enormous box of materials for both wet and dry flies.

Togen’s out of Surrey donated a dozen vices, numerous tools, and literally thousands of hooks. Randy Martin of Mountain Man Outdoors in Cranbrook of-

fered the club 15 per cent off purchases of materials and supplies.

Some of the other suppliers in Western Canada have offered discount on our orders.

These contributions have allowed the club to become much more functional and less reliant upon raiding mom’s sewing kit (although it is still encouraged!).

One of the most beneficial connections the club has made is an association with the St. Mary’s Fly Fishers, who are a local club made

up of both lake and river fly fishers from Kimberley and Cranbrook. The club has generously offered to come to the high school on Wednesdays to offer their wealth of knowledge in both tying and fishing to the students.

The amount of information passed on has been absolutely incredible, and their visits are always entertaining and well received by the students. These “legends of fly fishing” have definitely had a positive effect on the

How green was my back

T

his may seem like chump change to you, but it wasn’t to me.

Recently, for the first time I held an American hundred dollar bill in my hands (in fact, I was holding two. So much the better).

Of course, I’ve held American money in my hands before, but never the hundred.

I’m not a big cross-border shopper.

But holding that big, burly greenback in my hand (it’s actually kind of blue), I saw, finally, what all the fuss was about.

I stared at the big bill, and Benjamin Franklin stared back at me. He also seemed to wink.

“So this is the money that makes the world go ‘round,” I said to myself. “So this is the money around which the world goes.”

I’ve held Canadian hundred dollar bills, sometimes piles of them. I’ve held English pound notes, which is a big classy money in its own right. I’ve picked my teeth with paper currency from around the world. But nothing compares to the C-note.

It was almost like a minor religious experience — if there is such a thing as a minor religious experience — except it wasn’t religious at all. Quite the opposite, if you think about it. A fascinating amoral experience.

I felt an electric shiver up my spine, as

if all moral obligations, all ideologies, were slipping out my body through the top of my head. It was the most liberating feeling I’ve had in a long time. Benjamin Franklin grinned at me.

“Dude,” I said. “I feel like drilling for oil.

Doesn’t matter where.”

“Money,” I said to myself. “ Mmmmm m - m o n e y.

Mmmake Mmmoney.

Mmmmore mmmoney.”

I began humming to myself in this pleasant Barry way.“Wouldn’t it be great,” Coulter I thought, “to have many more of these U.S. hundred dollar bills? Just to have them. Just to use this strange electricity to power my house.”

Now, I’ve often thought it would be great to have many more Canadian hundred dollar bills. But my thinking here is along the lines of: “Wouldn’t it be great to have more Canadian hundred dollar bills so I could pay down my credit card?” In this case it was more like: “Wouldn’t it be great to have more American hundred dollar bills so I could make a big mattress with them and lie on it?”

Whether you like the United States and the role it plays in the world or not, no one says no to the greenback. The most unrepentant detractor of the “Great Satan” and its irresistible dance music would happily stuff his or her pockets with American

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

hundred bills if he or she had the opportunity, and not for the purpose of furthering any plot, either, oh no, but just to have that warm feeling of having pockets filled with American money, that great money that makes the world go round, that filthy lucre, that delicious root of all evil.

Benjamin Franklin was openly chuckling at me now. “Mr. Franklin,” I said to the hundred dollar bill. “I have the same hairline as you. I’m going to grow a mullet just like yours, then perhaps I will become a famous polymath, author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat, just like you.”

This is how badly I was being hypnotized by the money.

But that was many days ago, and now those big bills are gone. I did not invest in dot com booms, unbacked paper, housing bubbles, buy up other people’s credit card debt, or other tested financial strategies to make my hundred dollar bills multiply and multiply. Instead, I am left with a pocketful of Canadian coins and rumpled fives. If I can screw up enough of those to make $110 Canadian and change, I can head down to the bank and exchange it for another C-note, and carry on that most excellent conversation with Benjamin Franklin.

Congress then ordered the most powerful militia in the west of the country, the Libyan Shield, to seize the rebel-held ports in the east, but after some clashes they were stopped east of Sirte. Since then the two sides have glared at each other across the Red Wadi, waiting for the deadline set by the speaker of Congress and de facto president, Nuri Abu Sahmain, to expire.

Now it has expired, and nothing has happened yet, but neither has there been any sign that the two sides are talking. Besides, it is misleading to talk of “two sides”: the country has become a jumble of militia-run city-states with rapidly shifting alliances. But the east-west split is real, and it is getting worse.

The Cyrenaica Political Bureau says it is a “federalist” organisation that wants only the decentralisation of the country and a bigger share of the oil revenues for the east, but in fact it is already halfway out the door – and the army units and air bases in the east support the rebels.

“We are assembling a large force to protect the ports,” said Senussi al-Meghrabi.

“If they are attacked, it will be civil war.”

But not a long civil war, probably, for there is virtually no chance that forces from Tripolitania could conquer Cyrenaica – especially when they are facing their own revolt back home from the powerful Zintan militia, allies of the exiled ex-prime minister Ali Zeidan. And they control the oil of Tripolitania.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week March 30 – April 5 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives.

1898 New Dairy … J. H. Sibbald is contemplating establishing a dairy near Cranbrook, and is hesitating only on account of lack of cows. Sib says that with the large quantity and fine quality of spring waters in Cranbrook he wouldn’t need many, two or three would easily give a barrel.

Cranbrook Stables ... Bill Daniels and John Conway-everyone on the road knows “Billy and John”-are the proprietors of the large and commodious livery stable at this place. It is safe to say that none better and few as good are to be found in Southeast Kootenay; and that stock entrusted to their care receives always the best of attention.

Mounted Police ... Inspector Sanders, of the mounted police, passed through here Saturday on his regular trip of inspection. In conversation with The Herald reporter he said that the reports of lawlessness along the line of the C.P.R. right of way are grossly exaggerated. As a rule the disturbances are few, far between and seldom serious; considerable illicit whiskey selling, however, has been indulged in, and many arrests made therefore. The inspector also stated that there was some smuggling going on at points west of here, the Bonner’s Ferry route, from the location of the custom house being especially favourable to that class of lawbreaking.

Joshing John ... John I. Booge, elsewhere referred to in connection with an important mining deal, has been so long away from

places where fashion and strict rules of etiquette prevail that, so some of his Cranbrook friends say, he has forgotten many of the rules and usages of society. This being the case, it is not to wondered at that, when John sat down to the dinner table in the Hotel Cranbrook, last Thursday and noticed two knives and forks at his plate-dinner and dessert-he accosted the waiter, saying: “Here, take this knife and fork away; you needn’t think, although you are crowded, that you are going to feed someone else from the same plate with me.”

1899 Murdered By Mistake … A few minutes after 12 o ’clock last Monday night, Edward Ryan, a labourer on the Crows Nest Pass road, was shot and instantly killed on the track near the freight shed. From the evidence secured last night from V. and D. Alfons, two Italians, it seems now there is no doubt but that the murder was committed by an Italian named Paste, who was in company with another named Messico, and that the shot was fired with the idea that the victim was a young man named Mansfield, with whom both men had quarreled a short time before. Both men acknowledged their crime to the Alfons and left that night for Elko with the idea of escaping to the States. Between 11 and 12 o’clock three Italians had visited several houses of ill fame and finally engaged in a controversy with Jennie Howard the keeper of one of the places near the freight shed. The Italians seemed to have been drinking and were very abusive. W. A. Matheson and William Mansfield, better known as “The Kid,” two hangers-on at the Howard place, went out of the house to drive the Italians away, but were chased back, Mansfield losing his hat in the rush.

Mansfield secured an iron poker and both men again went out and attacked the Italians, and after Matheson had struck one with his fist and Mansfield had dealt another a blow across the face with the poker, both men sought refuge in the house again. Soon after this one of the Italians was heard cursing some one near the freight shed, and telling him to come on.

The man in question replied that he was coming, two or three times. Then a shot was fired, and after a moment’s silence, another shot. John Scanlan, a switchman, came down the track and found the body of a man which proved to be that of Edward Ryan, an inoffensive, good natured young man. The bullet, a 38-calibre, had entered his right chest, reaching the heart, and death had followed instantly.

1900 Happy Cranbrook … This place was christened “Beautiful Cranbrook” by Fred Simpson when there was a most expansive and beautiful bit of scenery here, viewed from a somewhat smaller meadow the site of Cranbrook. It was very good, fitted the purpose at that time, and fits the town today. The Herald, however, believes the time has arrived for rechristening and will hereafter claim it “Happy Cranbrook” for nowhere else can be found a place where every man, woman and child look, act, and are as happy as the day is long, with the days constantly lengthening.

A Good Turn? …Norman McConnell was playfully rubbing the back of a cayuse last Tuesday; the animal, thinking one good turn deserved another, grabbed a good mouthful of Frank’s leg, just below the thigh; fortunately he let go before separating it and Frank, but left severe contusions.

Whitecaps growing soccer programs in East Kootenay TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

North America’s professional soccer league has established a presence in the Kootenays and are looking to further expand into the region—specifically in Cranbrook.

Brett Adams, the regional head coach for Vancouver Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy Centre—based in Nelson—is working on expanding his club’s profile and programs.

As it currently stands, the Whitecaps FC have the Kootenay East skills academy in Cranbrook, which runs sessions in the fall, winter and spring, and Adams is continuing to build on programs to grow soccer in the area.

“We are looking in the next few months, to make this into a prospect area, because we’ve been impressed with the talent that we’ve come across. So we’re looking out to make this more of an elite area as well,” Adams said.

Within the Whitecaps FC organization, Nelson is the only pros-

pect area in the Kootenay region, which features a program that is invite-only for elite soccer players in the East and West Kootenays.

Selected players receive professional training from Whitecaps FC coaches and have opportunities to get into residency programs.

The ultimate goal is to get another Whitecaps FC staff member into the region to add further coaching expertise and turn Cranbrook into a prospect area like Nelson.

“We are looking in the next few months, to make this into a prospect area, because we’ve been impressed with the talent that we’ve come across. So we’re looking out to make this more of an elite area as well,” said Adams.

“As we progress the program forward, we are currently in the process of adding to our staff. “…We are looking to potentially put somebody in this area, parttime, potentially full time. Again, they will be a highly qualified coach

that we’re looking to do that with.”

Adams made it clear that the Whitecaps FC programs aren’t in conflict with Kootenay East Youth Soccer Association (KEYSA), the regional rep program.

“The Whitecaps and KEYSA are definitely working together. We’ve formed a great partnership and we’re doing sessions that don’t coincide with their sessions,” said Adams.

“We’re not going into competition. We’re here to work together and we’re here to give them some guidance and support as well as encouraging their players to come do our programs as well.”

Adams identified some local youth talent such as Kru Huska and Peter Black who were recently selected to participate in a showcase tournament down in Vancouver. He also added two boys from the West Kootenays were chosen to participate in the Whitecaps FC pre-residency training combine.

dency and residency squads,” he said.

He also adds that if players don’t advance within the Whitecaps FC organization, there are opportunities to pursue scholarships at the college or university level.

Right now, Adams is primarily concerned with numbers and registration for the skills academy spring session from April to July is

open to boys and girls between U8 to U17.

“In this area right now, it’s an open registration, but as we look to progress the program on into potentially the next phase, we’re looking at making it a prospects [area], so it will be a tryout and invite-only,” Adams said.

“Right now, we want as many players to come sample our programs as possible, so if

anybody wants to sign up, all they have to do is visit the website, and they can sign up via the website.”

Koe has work to do at world curling championship C anadian Press

BEIJING - Canada’s Kevin Koe is on the playoff bubble at the world men’s curling championship after splitting his games Wednesday at Capital Gymnasium.

The veteran skip and his Calgary-based team beat Switzerland’s Peter de Cruz 8-4 before dropping a 6-2 decision to Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson in the evening draw.

“It’s disappointing, that was a big game for us and we couldn’t pull (it) out,” said Koe. “That’s a tough one. Just one of those games where we would build a big end and he’d come up with a good shot and I couldn’t answer.

“I had a few chances.

I missed a triple for three (in the sixth end) and kind of miscalled the line again. Just one of those games - off by a

couple inches.”

Canada was tied with Switzerland at 6-3 after 14 draws of play. Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud was in first place at 8-1 and Japan’s Yusuke Morozumi was next at 7-2.

Round-robin play wraps up Thursday with Canada set to play Germany’s Johnny Jahr and Scotland’s Ewan MacDonald. The top four teams will make the playoffs.

Canada still has a chance to qualify for the 1-2 Page Playoff game Friday. The winner of that game advances straight to the gold-medal game and the loser will play in Saturday’s semifinal against the winner of the 3-4 Page Playoff game.

The 3-4 loser and semifinal loser will play for the bronze medal Sunday before the

gold-medal game.

Sweden scored six single points in the win over Canada, including steals in the second, fifth and sixth ends.

Eriksson moved into a fifth-place tie with China’s Rui Liu at 5-4.

“That win was huge,” Eriksson said. “We lost to Switzerland this morning so we had to win this to stay in the race. We made some big shots. I made an important double in the second end to stay alive or else we would lose four.

We played really good after that.

“Our goal is to get into the playoffs and finish off with a medal.”

Norway locked up a playoff spot with an 11-2 rout of Russia’s Evgeny Arkhipov (1-8). Japan, meanwhile, scored a deuce in the 10th end for an 8-7 win over Ger-

CALGARY - Kyle Shewfelt’s Olympic gold medal in gymnastics shines bright a decade later because it is the first and only of its kind in Canada.

Unlike the Olympic champion who has a teammate or hero to follow or emulate, Shewfelt blazed his own trail to win the floor routine in 2004. He is the only Canadian to win an Olympic medal of any colour in gymnastics.

The Calgarian is among the athletes, builders and coaches who will be inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in June.

He’ll join speedskater Cindy Klassen, the victorious men’s eight rowing team of 2008, speedskat-

ing coach Marcel Lacroix, hockey coach Pat Quinn and the late, former Alberta premier Ralph Klein among the 2014 inductees.

Sports journalist Richard Garneau, who covered 23 Olympic Games, will receive the Canadian Olympic Order posthumously.

The Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame was established in 1949. It is housed in the Frank King Olympic Visitor’s Centre at Calgary’s Canada Olympic Park about a kilometre from Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Previous inductees into the Olympic Hall of Fame include wrestler Daniel Igali, swimmer Mark Tewksbury, synchronized swimmer Caroline Waldo and sprinter Donovan Bailey.

The class of 2014 was revealed Wednesday in downtown Calgary along with the announcement that the city will host a three-day celebration June 4-6 of Canada’s performance at the Sochi Games.

Shewfelt and Lacroix, who coached Christine Nesbitt and the men’s pursuit team to Olympic gold in 2010, attended the news conference.

Quinn and members of the men’s eight participated in a conference call.

The men’s eight of coxswain Brian Price, Andrew Byrnes, Ben Rutledge, Dominic Seiterle, Kyle Hamilton, Malcolm Howard, Jake Wetzel, Adam Kreek and Kevin Light led the final from start to finish to win gold in Beijing.

many.

Koe won gold at his only previous appearance at the 2010 world championship in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

“Our backs are against the wall and we just have to worry about making the playoffs,” he said. “I don’t know what

all the scenarios are but if we can get to 8-and-3, we know we’ll be in the playoffs. We’ve come through the long way in the playoffs a lot of times.

“Just get us in there, give us a chance and we like our chances.”

FACTS You Need to Know About…

ABOUT CHANGE TO AGRICULTURE LAND COMMISSION...

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

In honour of IBS awareness month I have chosen to answer a question with regards to this widespread ailment.

IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder seen in general practice, representing 30% to 50% of all referrals to gastroenterologists. Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder of the large intestine with no evidence of accompanying structural defect making it a diagnosis of exclusion or, in other words, it cannot be explained by routine tests and everything else has been ruled out.

Symptoms of IBS often include: • Abdominal pain • Altered bowel function, constipation, and/or diarrhea • Hypersecretion of colonic mucus • Dyspeptic symptoms (flatulence, nausea, anorexia) • Anxiety or depression • Heartburn The digestive tract is quite complex and IBS can be linked to many different causes making it difficult to pinpoint the exact triggers of the symptoms. Also, each individual case of IBS differs greatly from the next so it is important to consider and test for each cause. Some of the most likely sources leading to IBS are stress, food sensitivities and imbalance of gut bacteria. Of utmost importance is a detailed health history which helps determine the best course of action with regards to treatment and further testing.

Lab tests that can be useful to determine the cause of IBS include: • IgG Food Sensitivity Test • Comprehensive Digestion and Stool Analysis • Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth Breath Test • Betaine HCl Challenge • Adrenal Profile • Genetic Test – MTHFR • Nutritional Profile Once the cause of IBS has been determined treatment typically involves lifestyle changes to diet and exercise, nutritional supplements and herbs used to remove any harmful bacteria or yeast in the gut and heal the lining of the large and small intestines.

Gastrointestinal disorders are commonplace in our practice and we have had great success with helping to alleviate the causes and symptoms of these disorders.

Chicago Blackhawks say captain Jonathan Toews out until playoffs Associated Press

CHICAGO - Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will miss the rest of the regular season with an upper-body injury.

The team said Wednesday that coach Joel Quenneville expects Toews to be “100 per cent” for the playoffs.

Toews was injured after a hit by Penguins defenceman Brooks Orpik on Sunday night. Toews got up slowly and was seen holding his left arm on the bench before heading to the lock-

er room.

The Blackhawks, who have clinched a playoff berth, are already without star forward Patrick Kane, who is out for the rest of the regular season with a lower-body injury.

Toews has 28 goals and 68 points this season.

Quenneville said Andrew Shaw will get some of Toews’ “quality ice time,” but the team has also recalled forward Joakim Nordstrom from Rockford.

Sports March Madness down to Final Four John Marshall Associated Press

The invitation to this year’s Final Four seemed to have specific rules: No upstarts or Cinderellas. Big boys only.

Yes, we’re well aware that Kentucky was a No. 8 seed and UConn was a 7. But c’mon. These are two power programs with storied histories, each with a championship under their belt within the past four seasons.

Following a string of NCAA tournaments with mid-major party crashers, the Final Four is going back to the big time with Florida and Wisconsin joining the Wildcats and Huskies in North Texas.

We’ve got a rundown of what to look for: THE TEAMS Florida. The top overall seed in the NCAA tournament has played like it by extending its winning streak to 30 games.

Kentucky. John Calipari’s latest group of one-and-dones needed a little time to get going. Once the roll started, no one has been able to stop it.

Wisconsin. The Badgers are feisty, fundamentally sound and one of those teams opponents hate to play.

UConn. The Huskies won the 2011 behind Kemba Walker. Shabazz Napier is the one-man gang this time.

THE STARS Shabazz Napier, UConn. A 6-foot-1 point guard who can do it all and had a great mentor in Kemba Walker.

Julius Randle, Kentucky. The projected

No. 1 overall NBA draft pick is big, athletic and often unstoppable.

Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin. When he’s hitting his 3-pointers, this 7-footer is all but unguardable.

Scottie Wilbekin, Florida. From being asked to transfer by his own coach to becoming one of college basketball’s best closers.

THE OTHERS Patrick Young, Florida. The Gators’ big man is like a linebacker in basketball shorts.

Aaron Harrison, Kentucky. Hit the winning jumper against Michigan despite struggling with his shot. Has a twin brother who’s not bad, either.

Sam Dekker, Wisconsin. He’s scrappy, versatile and a good shooter - a perfect fit for the Badgers.

Ryan Boatwright, UConn. Napier’s backcourt sidekick can shoot and has become a point-guard stopper on defence.

THE COACHES Billy Donovan, Florida. So much for not being able to get the Gators to the Final Four without NBA-ready players. Might be the best coaching job of his career.

Calipari, Kentucky. The slick coach with the designer suits might irritate some, but he sure can recruit players - and win games.

Bo Ryan, Wisconsin. His has been the feel-good story so far, making the Final Four for the first time as a coach after taking his late father, Butch, every year since

1976 as a birthday gift.

Kevin Ollie, UConn. Thrust into a difficult situation following the retirement of Jim Calhoun and NCAA sanctions last season. Managed it all incredibly well, particularly for a first-time head coach.

NUMBERS -4-Times UConn’s men’s and women’s teams have reached the Final Four in the same season, most of any school.

-8-Years since there were no repeat Final Four teams before this season.

-16-Straight NCAA tournament appearances by Wisconsin, most among the Final Four teams.

Ronaldo equals record as Madrid beats Dortmund 3-0 in Champions League Paul Logothetis Associated Press

MADRID, Spain Cristiano Ronaldo scored a record equaling goal before exiting to injury as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 3-0 on Wednesday to take a big step toward the Champions League semifinals.

Ronaldo netted his 14th goal of the season in Europe’s top competition to give Madrid a clear advantage ahead of next week’s quarterfinal return leg in Germany. But it came at a price as the Portugal forward, who came into the first-leg nursing a sore left knee, came off in the 80th minute.

Gareth Bale scored early and Isco added another before the half hour mark at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

“Ronaldo has a problem with his knee but at this moment I’m

not worried about it,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

The Spaniards opened against Dortmund as the Germans had against them in the semifinals last season when they thrashed Madrid 4-1 en route to reaching the final with a 4-3 victory on aggregate.

In Wednesday’s other quarterfinal first leg, Paris Saint-Germain beat Chelsea 3-1 in the French capital.

Madrid, which is vying for a record 10th European Cup, is now on the cusp of a fourth straight appearance in the semifinals - a welcome lift after a difficult run in the Spanish league.

In Tuesday’s matches, defending champion Bayern Munich drew 1-1 at Manchester United, and Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at Barcelona.

Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District

PRESIDENT’S

S P E A K E R

REPORT

A

t a recent community meeting, a fellow participant suggested that Cranbrook businesses “only care about profits.”

While it’s true that a business without profit is a business that won’t survive, it got me thinking that we don’t talk enough about the link between the success of business and the success of our community.

If we consider business and Cranbrook, they’re a classic example of the concept of “symbiosis” that we learned in high school b i o l o g y.

Businesses are critical for keeping our community alive and thriving. At the same time, a supportive community is crucial to the success of every business.

Keeping Business in Cranbrook …

Keeping Cranbrook in Business

Most of us probably understand that healthy businesses inject money directly into the local economy through purchases of goods and services. Those dollars then circulate through the community as indirect spending. We also know that businesses pay taxes to government, taxes that are used for roads, police/ fire services, hospitals and colleges. And businesses provide meaningful jobs and satisfying careers for people of all ages. Those salaries also circulate in the community.

making this a better place to live, for helping residents who face more than their share of daily challenges, and for helping our young people become leaders.

What’s just as interesting is the degree to which business is woven into our social fabric. By investing in Cranbrook, business is a powerful yet little-understood force for

I didn’t have to dig very deeply to find inspiring examples of businesses all Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce members – that are investing heavily in our community.

Similarly, O w n e r s J o ey a n d Christine and their team at the Bedroom Furniture Galleries are involved in every aspect of our c o m m u n i t y, and contribute to organizations as diverse as Cranbrook Foster Parents, Wings as Eagles Ministry, Kootenay Child Development and Columbia Basin Literacy.

For the past 14 years, Trevor and Jamie at Dairy Queen have not only hosted a Bud Caldwell Day (with proceeds to the Cranbrook Hospital Auxiliary), but they work with Arby’s to serve a full turkey dinner to up to 300 people each Christmas.

Dave and his team at Cranbrook Dodge sponsor hockey and baseball teams and they host a successful golf tournament each year; in 2013, the proceeds from the tournament went to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

The folks at East Kootenay Community Credit Union show their deep commitment to the community through involvement in a wide range of community initiatives. They provide $12,000 in college and high school scholarships each year, and since 2003, their Puck Tosses at Kootenay Ice games have raised over $45,000 for 12 local charities including KidSport and Food for Kids.

Lisa and Graham from Max’s Place moved to Cranbrook to make a difference, and that’s what they’re doing.

They’re a sponsor and food donator for S y m p h o ny o f t h e Kootenays and they’ve provided food for guest artists for the East Kootenay Violin Club.

Last November, they created a special cookie for Movember and donated a portion of every one sold to the Movember campaign.

The good news is that the list of businesses investing in our community would consume this column for the next year if I wrote about all of them. But why did I think it important to share these stories with you? It’s a reminder that successful local businesses don’t just care about profit; they truly care about our community. As President of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, I ask that you think about our local businesses the next time you consider a shopping trip to Lethbridge, Calgary, Spokane or Kalispell. The more money you spend here in Cranbrook, the more you help businesses do what they do in and for the community. Keeping business in Cranbrook means keeping Cranbrook in business.

It’s that simple.

Controversial spring grizzly bear hunt now open Dene Moore Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s controversial spring grizzly bear hunt opened Tuesday, with one of the highest number of hunting authorizations issued in decades.

Based on government counts that showed stabilization of specific grizzly populations previously closed due to overhunting, the government reopened several areas to hunting this year.

An estimated 1,800 authorizations will be issued, up from about 1,700 last year but lower than the 1,980 issued in 2011.

“I think we have the best idea (of the population) of any of the jurisdictions that hunt bears right now,’’ said Garth Mowat, a provincial government grizzly bear biologist in the Kootenay region.

“We have spent a lot of resources improving our understanding of

about a quarter of the remaining North American population. Only Alaska has more grizzlies.

Biologist Paul Paquet of the Raincoast Foundation said it’s extremely difficult to get a proper count of grizzly bears and there could be far fewer — too few to risk a trophy hunt.

“The real numbers could be somewhere as low as 6,000 or as high as 18,000. We just don’t know,’’ Paquet said.

But the bigger question is the moral one, he said.

“Is this ethical, to be hunting bears? That’s really what’s at issue,’’ Paquet said. “This is a trophy hunt, as opposed to a hunt for food.’’

Mowat agrees that the real issue is a question of moral support for the hunt.

“The debate about whether an individual morally supports a bear hunt and the debate about the sustainability of the hunt get woven

Two grizzlies came into Kimberley last September. the number of bears in British Columbia and I’m quite comfortable that it’s good enough to allow us to conservatively manage the hunt.’’

The spring grizzly hunt runs from April 1 to the end of May. The fall hunt begins Oct. 1 and continues into mid-November.

Though 1,800 hunting authorizations will be issued, so far this year 1,459 licences have been issued via a lottery

system. In 2011, 1,733 licences were issued of the 1,980 authorizations.

On average about 300 grizzlies are killed annually. The most recent year for which information is publicly available is 2009, when between 350 and 400 bears were shot.

Provincial biologists estimate there are approximately 15,000 grizzly bears in the province, which is home to

together,’’ he said.

He does not believe there are conservation concerns.

In fact, he said, after 30 years of provincial management grizzlies are repopulating areas where they had been wiped out. Sows with cubs have been spotted moving west from the Kootenay mountains, into the Okanagan and Similkameen regions.

Conservation has been a concern.

They are largely extinct south of the Canada-U.S. border. The Alberta government suspended its grizzly hunt in 2006 and declared the bears a threatened species in 2010.

But in Alaska, there are 30,000 brown and grizzly bears, which are classed as the same species. The state fish and game department said about 1,900 were harvested in 2007.

Kyle Artelle, a biologist at Simon Fraser University and Raincoast, said the founda-

tion’s own study found the provincial government quotas are not conservative and over-

kills are common.

“There’s a huge amount of uncertainty,’’ Artelle said.

Notable theft falls flat in Nanaimo C ANADIAN PRESS

NANAIMO, B.C. — A cherished French cello has been returned to its elderly owner and four people have been arrested after thieves ransacked a home in Nanaimo, B.C. RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien says 75-yearold Irene Field was devastated to discover her home had been robbed while she was out of town in midMarch, and every single room had been rifled.

O’Brien says thieves escaped with goods worth thousands of dollars, include the

cello, a violin, jewelry, purses, china, golf clubs, clothing and a television.

Field told police the theft of the cello was especially heartbreaking because the instrument had not been played since the death of her husband several years earlier and it was a beloved keepsake.

Mounties rounded up a 43-year-old woman and three men ranging in age from 20 to 43 late last month as the items appeared in Nanaimo-area pawn shops and O’Brien says one of the first pieces returned was the missing cello.

Britain blanketed in dust from Sahara, pollution from Europe Jill L awless Associated Press

LONDON — European pollution and dust swirling in from the Sahara created a “perfect storm’’ of smog in Britain on Wednesday, prompting authorities to warn people with heart or lung conditions to cut down on tough physical exercise outdoors.

Air pollution in some areas reached the top rung on its 10point scale, the environment department said.

The smog was caused by pollution from Britain and industrialized areas of the continent — trapped in place because of light winds — mixing with dust blown up from a storm in the Sahara desert.

Many motorists across England awoke this week to find cars cov-

ered in a film of red dust left by overnight rain.

Paul Cosford of Public Health England told the BBC that people with heart or respiratory problems should “reduce the amount of strenuous exercise outdoors over the next few days.’’

An unusual combination of factors had conspired “to create a ‘perfect storm’ for air pollution,’’ according to Helen Dacre, a meteorologist at the University of Reading.

“Toxic gases, such as nitrogen dioxide and ozone, as well as fine dust particles in the air blown in from the Sahara and from burning fossil fuels, all contribute to cause problems for people with heart, lung and breathing problems, such as asthma,’’ she said.

Despite efforts to make industry and automobiles cleaner, air pollution remains a major problem in Britain and across Europe.

Last month, Paris took the drastic step of banning half the city’s cars from the roads for a day after a week in which pollution levels exceeded those in notoriously smoggy cities including Beijing and Delhi.

Air pollution is the world’s single biggest environmental health risk, responsible for about one in eight deaths, the World Health Organization said last week.

Air pollution kills about 7 million people worldwide every year, with more than half of the fatalities due to fumes from indoor stoves AP Photo/Matt Dunham and the rest from outdoor pollut- The skyscrapers of the Canary Wharf business district in London are ants, the WHO said. shrouded in smog.

Cambodia repatriates remains believed to be of 3 missing U.S. soldiers from Vietnam War Sopheng Cheang Associated Press

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A ceremony was held in Cambodia on Wednesday to repatriate what are believed to be the remains of three American servicemen who went missing in action more than 40 years ago during the Vietnam War. The remains, in three white coffins draped with U.S. flags, were hoisted Wednesday into a C-17 military cargo plane for transport to Hawaii, where they will undergo DNA testing to try to confirm their identities. An honour guard of four currently serving U.S. servicemen carried the coffins.

“As the son of a combat helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam twice, I am truly privileged to be a part of this important ceremony,’’ U.S. Ambassador William Todd said in a speech at Phnom Penh International Airport in which he also thanked the Cambodian government for its assistance in searching for the missing.

“Today, we honour colleagues who died far from home and whom we never knew.’’

Some 90 Americans were listed as missing in action in Cambodia from the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975, but the remains of only 37 have been recovered and identified.

The latest sets of remains were found in eastern Kampong Cham province. U.S. forces staged a brief ground incursion into eastern Cambodia in 1970 and bombed the country from 1969 to 1973.

A year ago, the Pentagon announced the burial at Arlington National Cemetery of the fragmentary remains of a Marine who perished in a failed helicopter rescue from Cambodia of the crew of the merchant ship Mayaguez in

May 1975, an incident that is considered the last U.S. military engagement in the long Vietnam War. Their helicopter crashed after coming under heavy fire; 13 aboard were rescued at sea and 13 others were declared missing. Remains of 12 other U.S. servicemen who also were aboard the helicopter had been accounted for previously, following a series of searches off the coast of Cambodia.

VANCOUVER — An insurance industry official says extreme weather events including flooding in Calgary and Toronto nearly kept the federal government from meeting its budget targets last year.

Barbara Turley-McIntyre of the Co-operators insurance agency says such events will only become more common as the effects of climate change become everyday reality.

She told a Vancouver forum on livable cities that the Alberta floods alone cost the Canadian economy $4.8 billion in economic losses.

Turley-McIntyre says the cleanup bill came to $1.9 billion — the single most costly event in Canadian history — and that 90 per cent of that was on the federal tab.

Earlier this week, a UN scientific panel warned that the effects of global warming are already noticeable and could spiral out of control without action.

Insurance industry officials say the price tag for natural disasters has prompted greater awareness and collaboration among industry and governments in Canada to get ready for the effects of extreme weather.

Wiring diagram for mouse brain created ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Scientists have created a detailed, three-dimensional wiring diagram of the mouse brain. That should help researchers seek clues about how the human brain works in health and disease.

It’s the first brain-wide wiring diagram for a mammal at such a level of detail. While it doesn’t reveal every connection between each of

The work was described online Wednesday in the journal Nature by Hongkui Zeng and colleagues at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle.

To create the diagram, scientists combined data from more than 1,000 mouse brains, each of which was divided into 140 slices.

It costs you money to run an ad. So run it where it will get read.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have decided to stay mum about a certain subject, but today you might completely reverse your decision. Pressure is likely to build. An adjustment needs to be made, especially if the situation involves a work-related matter. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to manage your finances a certain way, but a loved one seems to have a very different idea about what is acceptable. You could find yourself in a very difficult situation. Others unintentionally might add to the confusion. Tonight: Have an important talk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are all smiles when dealing with a difficult partner. Realize that you could be making the situation even more difficult.

Understand your limits when it comes to handling this person.

The only way to win a control game is not to play. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Play it low-key, and don’t accept any more responsibility than you need to. If someone wants to take on more responsibility, let him or her do it!

Otherwise, if you can, do some delegating. You need some free time for yourself. Tonight: Take a long-overdue nap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to try a different approach to the same end.

Brainstorm with a friend before deciding. Listen to your sixth sense with a personal matter.

Think positively. Know what you want to strive for with this bond. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel pressured to change pace and do something in a totally unique way.

You have an unusual amount of imagination. When you mix that with your practical side, it is a winning combination.

Remain open to others’ ideas.

Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to think before

Tundra

you leap into action. There are so many options in front of you, so you should check out which destination or goal intrigues you the most. A family member could try to push you in a certain direction. The choice is yours. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Little goes on that you aren’t aware of, and you also are able to read between the lines.

However, you might decide not to allow someone else to know just how aware you are. Holding back will let you see what this person will reveal naturally. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You use your ingenuity a lot, as this ability is one of the foundations of your success. Reach into your bag of tricks, but know that there could be a backfire.

The costs might be high. Hold out, if you can, and you might see another path. Tonight: Your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be careful with how much you protest verbally or through

your actions. Inadvertently, you could corner yourself into a decision that you do not want to make. Work on being more laissez faire. In the long run, it could add to your success. Tonight: Add spice to your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a way about you that attracts many different people and opinions. Choose to take a step back and spend some time alone to assess the possibilities.

Finding your center, rather than being so driven, might be a more powerful course for you.

Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You often speak your mind and open up discussions. Unfortunately, this approach could have others closing down right now.

You might find that saying little will spark a brainstorming session and bring the most diverse ideas forward. Tonight: Order in.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 18 years old. I work two jobs to save money for college next year, one during the week and the other at a coffee shop on the weekends. Last week, my boss from the coffee shop sent an email to all employees saying that we are now required to take a daily picture of ourselves on a work camera. At the end of the month, the owners (a husband and wife) will judge who is the best dressed and give the winner a $100 gift certificate.

Annie, all of the workers at this shop are high school and college-age females. This makes us uncomfortable, but we are afraid of losing our jobs. There already are video cameras that send black-and-white images directly to the boss’s office. My parents said that they’d be supportive of whatever I decide. I really like and need this job. Yesterday, I dressed very well, but didn’t take a picture. Five minutes ago, I received an email reminding me that the pictures are mandatory. What do I do? -- Confused Employee Dear Confused: We suspect your employers think this is an incentive for you and your co-workers to dress better. While the photographs don’t seem discriminatory, they do appear to be an unreasonable requirement for employment. Your best bet is to get together with the other employees and talk to your bosses. Let them know that you are uncomfortable with this new demand and ask whether they can find another way of getting the preferred results (like an enforced dress code).

Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old married man living in New Jersey. My retired parents live in Pennsylvania, and my older sister lives not far from them.

Last November, my wife and I bought a new house 10 minutes from our old one.

My parents wanted to see our new home.

They rely on my sister to drive them long distances, so she sent an email with the details about when and how long. She also asked, “Is there anything we can bring?” I responded that she could bring four of our family’s favorite sandwiches for lunch. The next night, she sent me a nasty email asking how I could expect them to bring lunch. She said it is the host’s job to provide something to eat.

Annie, I’ve gone to their houses many times and have always brought these sandwiches because I know everybody likes them. (I’ve never accepted payment.) After receiving that nasty email from my sister, I told her she is no longer welcome here. Now my parents say I am the bad guy and should have bit the bullet and provided lunch on my own. Was I wrong? -- Offended Brother Dear Brother: While the host should provide refreshments, this is family, and such things can be treated informally. The fact that you’ve brought sandwiches is generous, but that was your choice, not theirs.

And your sister should not have asked about bringing something if she was not willing to comply. Her email was rude and incendiary, and your response shoved the argument into the stratosphere. You should each apologize. We suggest you swallow your pride and take the first step before this estrangement becomes permanent and all of you lose out.

Dear Annie: I wholeheartedly agree with “Mom” about the PG-13 movies for children. How sad that we, the American public, allow this to continue and even make it profitable. Television is even worse. We all allow the lowest common denominator to set our values and standards. I realize that someday my grandchildren will be dealing with their children being exposed to much more filth.

I grew up in the ‘50s and wish I could bottle the innocence my friends and I enjoyed and give it to my grandchildren. Instead, parents today seem to be rushing their children toward adulthood. -- Baton Rouge, La.

Obituary William (Bill) Karmas

William (Bill) Karmas passed away peacefully at the Kimberley Special Care Home (The Pines) with his family by his side on March 30, 2014.

Bill was born March 25, 1922 in Elk Point, Alberta. He enlisted with the Royal Canadian Army and served from 1944 to 1947. He met Mary (Sorochan) in Edmonton and they married June 2, 1951. Bill and Mary moved to Yellowknife where they lived from 1951 to 1963. Bill worked as a hoist man at Con Mine during this time.

From 1963 to 1965, Bill was the co-owner/manager of Vermilion Bowl, in Vermilion, Alberta. The family then moved to Marysville. Bill resumed working for Cominco/ Teck as an operator at the fertilizer plant, retiring in 1980.

Bill was a founding member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Elks Club in Yellowknife and continued this involvement after moving to BC. He enjoyed curling, camping, travelling, playing cribbage, gardening and wood working. The hobby that gave him the greatest joy was searching for rocks as he walked many miles on the nature path linking Marysville to Kimberley. He transformed those rocks into little painted penguins, turtles, whales and especially lady bugs. He always had a pocketful of lady bugs to give to people he met along the nature path and in the community. Many of Bill’s lady bugs are in homes, gardens and businesses in the area.

Bill is survived by his wife, Mary, daughter Adelle, grandsons Jordan and Evan; daughter Lorri (Jim Bennett), grandson Andrew; sister Mary Marusyk (formerly of Kimberley); and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family sincerely thanks Dr. Haiduk, staff of the Kimberley Medical Clinic, and especially the staff of The Pines for their compassionate and tender care of Bill and kind support of his family during the past two years. You all have been wonderful.

At Bill’s request, there will be no funeral service. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Bill may do so to the Kimberley Nature Park Society, Box 398, Kimberley, BC, V1A 2Y9.

Toronto Zoo needs help Firefighter rescues 7-foot snake from blaze naming baby gorilla Associated Press

C ANADIAN PRESS

A firefighter put his reptile-handling experience to good use when he rescued a 7-footlong (2.13-meter-long) boa constrictor from a burning home in western Michigan.

Muskegon firefighter Scott Hemmelsbach told The Muskegon Chronicle that he reluctantly agreed to enter the two-storey, smoke-filled house Sunday night to retrieve the snake.

He says he cradled the “weighty’’ snake before carrying it to safety.

“It was trying to crawl up the side of his terrarium and get out,’’ Hemmelsbach said.

“His face was pushed up on the screen and trying to get out.

There was a lot of smoke and he was trapped.’’

The firefighter said he learned how to handle snakes while he was at Grand Haven High School, where he helped showcase them.

“I’d take them around and show them to the kids in the elementary classes,’’ he said. “That didn’t bother me at all.’’

When Hemmelsbach reached the snake inside the home, he

TORONTO — The Toronto Zoo says it needs helps naming its new baby gorilla.

The female western lowland gorilla was born at the zoo on Jan. 10 to mom Ngozi and dad Charles.

The three-month-old baby is the 15th gorilla to be sired by Charles and born at the Toronto Zoo since it opened in 1974, zoo officials say.

Names can be submitted online on the zoo’s website until April 22 and the winning name will be announced at the end of the month.

The zoo says the name should be suitable for a female and African names are desired.

The name must also start with the letter “N’’ in line with the zoo’s tradition of naming baby gorillas with the first initial from the mother’s name.

The baby’s older brother Nassir was born in 2009.

The zoo says the new baby is genetically significant for the western lowland gorilla population being raised in North America, since it is a critically endangered species. The zoo is a longtime partner in the Gorilla Species Survival Plan which focuses on conservation to help prevent extinction.

The zoo says Ngozi likes to rock

“I removed the screen off the top and knew to approach it by coming up behind his head. He became very active, and I was glad because that meant that he was okay.’’

Kimberley

Two people in the home escaped without injury, fire officials said. The fire significantly damaged the home, and the cause is under investigation.

“I would do it for any creature,’’ Hemmelsbach said. “I’m just glad it had a happy ending.’’

Toronto Zoo / YouTube

The Toronto Zoo is hosting a contest to name its latest addition: a female baby gorilla.

her baby and that staff and visitors will often find the mother gorilla tenderly gazing at her newborn’s face.

She has not put the baby down since the day she was born, zoo officials say, and she probably won’t for many more months.

The zoo also went to the public earlier this year to help name a polar bear cub born in November. More than 14,000 people voted to pick a name from among six offered by the zoo.

The winning name was Humphrey but the zoo also gave the cub an additional Inuit name — Piujuq — meaning “good and nice.’’
