Brooke gets Urban herd goes forth to multiply: It’s her new chair fawning season in the East Kootenay Cranbrook, Kimberley rally with the War Amps to raise funds towards a customized wheelchair for six-year-old Brooke Willisson ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Brooke Willisson has her new chair after months of fundraising and support from the War Amps. The six-year old Cranbrook girl has Crommelin syndrome, an extremely rare condition that left her without hips, femurs, fibulas and both arms. A few months ago, the Townsman covered the fundraising effort for a
customized wheelchair that would not only give Brooke more mobility and independence, but would also ensure that she doesn’t wear out her joints prematurely. Brooke has had the hot pink chair for three weeks now. Rachel, Brooke’s mom, said the chair has seen Brooke go from independent to fiercely independent.

Local Conservation Officers are warning Cranbrook and Kimberley residents to learn what to do around newborn fawns and their mothers SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
It’s that time of the spring: fawns are being born right now around Cranbrook and Kimberley, and local Conservation Officers want to get the word out. The message is double: first, remember that a newborn fawn on its own is not necessarily orphaned. And more importantly, watch for aggressive does and turn around if you encounter one.
See FAWNING , Page 3

Conservation Officers are reminding concerned animal lovers that it’s normal for newborn fawns to be left alone by their mothers.
In the wake of an attempted robbery in Elkford on Saturday, the East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) is asking for public assistance in helping find the suspect. The robbery attempt took place at about 9 a.m., Saturday, May 31, in Elkford, an hour and a half east of Cranbrook. A staff member was opening the branch for the day’s business when the suspect forced his way in. A scuffle ensued, and the employee sustained a cut to their leg. The suspect also had bear spray, which was not used. The suspect demanded cash, but the staff member told him it could not be accessed, as the cash was still locked away, in accordance to EKC’s procedures. The suspect then fled, and the staff member phoned 911. The suspect was gone by the time Elk Valley RCMP arrived. The staff member was taken to hospital for stitches. The suspect has still not been located. He is described as a male, 40 to 50 years old, weighing between 180 and 190 pounds. He was wearing rounded goggles with dark mirrored lenses, a black or grey toque, black gloves, medium coloured jeans, black footwear and a red windbreaker jacket with white or beige piping.

“She loves it,” Rachel said. “She caught on very quickly. She’s a pro now. It took her no time at all to get it and figure it out.” The chair costs over $40,000, but Rachel said the War Amps funded the chair, leaving the fundraised money for much needed mobility modifications to the family house and vehicle. The monies raised covered all the modifications they did for the van, as well as a ramp and a wheelchair accessible door for the house. Rachel said it didn’t take long to see the perspective-changing effects the chair would have on Brooke. Recently, the family was in Target in the Tamarack Centre, and Brooke was practicing going around shelves and aisles in the store. Rachel’s older daughter Georgia had just gotten some chapstick, and Brooke asked her for some. So Brooke used the chair to raise herself to about five feet tall — level with her sister. Georgia went up to Brooke and, face-toface, helped her with the Chapstick. “For me that was such a huge moment where I went, ‘Holy smokes, she’s finally equal with her sister.’” It’s a big change, since at standing height Brooke is just over 60 centimetres tall. And that’s not where the new discoveries ended. When they got home, they went around the neighbourhood. “Neighbours were coming out and celebrating with us,” Rachel said. “I realized we were walking around the neighbourhood and I wasn’t pushing a stroll-

Rachel said she can’t even begin to thank people and businesses for the support that’s been shown for Brooke. “It was unbelievably moving for us,” Rachel said. “I think we cried the most in those two weeks that we ever have. I don’t even know how to start thanking people.
I truly have no idea how to thank them on a level that my heart is at.” She said even with the fundraising over, people are still coming and asking if there is anything they can do to help. “It’s incredible to watch people come together,” she said. “She’s six, and she’s in a twofoot package, and she’s
cherished like this — it’s mind-blowing.” Rachel said they are also hoping to start a post-secondary scholarship for people with disabilities who are graduating. “Just because you have a disability, does not mean whatsoever that you can’t become an amazing part of your community,” she said.

College celebrates 38th annual convocation Courtesy Darryl Schmidt
College of the Rockies President and CEO David Walls presided over his first convocation ceremony, the College’s 38th, on Friday, May 30. In his address to students, Walls referenced his adjustment to the college, saying, “I quickly learned that we have an extraordinary community of support and friendship at College of the Rockies. It is a community in which I hope you will continue to feel a part of no matter where your journey leads you.” The ceremony kicked off with the presentation of the academic medals. The Lieutenant Governor’s Silver Medal, awarded to a student who has excelled in a vocational or career program and who contributed in a positive way to life at the college, was presented to Angela Beddome. Beddome
completed the Human Service Worker certificate and has plans to return in the fall to complete the diploma level before moving on to university to complete a degree in social work. The Governor General’s Bronze Medal, considered to be the greatest honour that can be bestowed upon a graduate of a two-year program, is awarded to the student who has achieved the highest academic standing upon graduating from a twoyear diploma or associate degree program. This year’s recipient was Lisa Underwood. Underwood graduated from the kinesiology diploma program and will be transferring to the University of British Columbia – Okanagan to complete a bachelor’s degree in human kinetics. Matthew Burr was the recipient of the President’s Award of Excellence.
This is a new award at the college and is presented to a first- or second-year student, planning to complete a fouryear degree at COTR or elsewhere, who has achieved the highest cumulative grade-point average. Burr completed firstyear university transfer arts and sciences courses and will transfer to the University of Alberta in the fall to enrol in their honours pure mathematics program. He hopes to eventually complete a PhD in pure mathematics and to work at a university, conducting research and, one day, teaching. “It was a great thrill to present, along with our board chair Dave Handy, these medals to these worthy recipients. I am proud of each and every one of our graduates and to the terrific team we have in place at the College that played a part in each of their success stories,” Walls said.

I
The competitive fury of the 5K
gotta give props to the organizers of the Spring Honda Fun Run. It’s a pretty ingenious idea to get people out doing some healthy exercising through an event that also raised money for a great cause—the ALS Society of B.C. It’s also appealing for the two distances of 5K and 10K; the shorter distance is manageable for the newly initiated while the longer course is great for the tri-hards. I opted for the former, as I don’t have what is commonly referred to as a runner’s physique. In point of fact, I am very much the opposite of tall and slender. But I digress. I ran in the same event last year (my first 5K ever), so I had an idea of the physical demands. However, I had trained more last year, which obviously makes a difference in the results and the post-run recovery. Despite my lack of training this time around, I showed up on race day at Moir Park prepared to punish my body for a good cause. I was even looking forward to going up against some of my coworkers, which would serve as motivation. No one wants to be the slowest runner in the office. However, to make a very long story short, I was apparently the only one to sign up for the 5K, and I was on my own. Oh well. You couldn’t have asked for a better day as members from Core Fitness led a warmup and everyone gathered at the start line. Most participants were decked out in proper running attire, while others had T-shirts with touching tributes to family members who had been diagnosed with
ALS. After a quick countdown, we were all sent on our merry way. I lingered toward the back of the pack at the start because I didn’t want to see everyone passing me right off the bat. After all, I have a fragile ego. Once the pack thinned out a bit, I was able to hit my stride. Everything went well as I plodded through the first half of the race and reached the 2.5 km turnaround point. Then I noticed a couple things. I recognized that a colleague who works at a different media outlet was Trevor ahead of me. Crawley Being the lone Daily Townsman member in the 5K (disclaimer: another employee was in the 10K), I now had my motivation. Whatever happened, I had to beat this guy. I don’t know exactly why I had to, but my competitive juices kicked in. This media colleague, who shall remain anonymous, is taller than me though, with a long stride. For every step he took, I had to take five. Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but not by much. While we were locked in our (or simply my own) personal little competition, I noticed something else. There was a father-son duo ahead that was going at a pace just quick enough to keep us from closing the gap. The little guy was young too, under 12 years old, and he was doing a great job to keep up with his dad. And they both had matching Spider-
man T-shirts, which was awesome and a little intimidating, because I certainly don’t have any superpowers to tap into. Maybe this says something about my nature or my personality, but my competitive switch flipped again, and I vowed that I wasn’t going let this kid finish in front of me. Remember that fragile ego? Anyway, my media colleague and I eventually caught and passed them, though I was constantly looking over my shoulder. As we neared the the finish line, my opponent opened up a pretty big gap. By that point, it was more of a mental exercise than a physical one, as I willed myself towards the end. I put my head down, pumped my arms, and picked up the pace. I don’t know why I was so determined to finish ahead of this guy, but again, the explanation probably involves bragging rights. And ego. I caught him probably 100 metres before the finish, and kept up my pace right until I made it across. I’m the first to admit that my competitiveness probably interfered with the true spirit of the event — after all, it’s supposed to be a fun run. I guess I could chalk it up to years of playing sports like hockey, soccer and tennis, where there is usually a winner and a loser. However, if I can do my part to help raise money for a great cause by running five kilometres, then the end result really doesn’t matter. Nobody loses when it comes to that.

Letters to the Editor
The teacher’s job
This letter is in response to Neil Matheson’s letter of Monday, June 2. The comment that I would like to address is the one that really felt like a personal assault. Mr. Matheson could not be further off base with his comment “pampered and privileged.” I know very well what it is like to work in the private sector. I worked for the same company in the service industry for 20 years, until I decided to go back to school to pursue my dream of becoming an elementary school teacher. I then worked for several years as a teacher-on-call, and then several more on temporary contracts. This has been my first year with a continuing contract. What I didn’t understand until a few years ago was how much it would cost me to have my own classroom. I supply all the books for my library, all the puzzles, games, and building toys for my learning centres. I purchase all the learning resources that I use, and all the things that make my classroom a warm, inviting place. I supply all the school supplies for the students who come to school without enough or any. I scour thrift shops and sales for extra clothing for students who come to school in the winter without proper attire. When students come without a recess snack or a lunch, then I must scrounge up something for them to eat. I do it not because I am “pampered and privileged.” I do it because I feel like I am one of the lucky few who get to work at a job that I love. I get to start each day with smiles and hugs, and somehow, despite whatever challenges my students and I have faced each day, we always end the day with smiles and high fives. The cuts to education in B.C. over the last 12 years have made it difficult to access services for the students in my class with special needs. After much time spent meeting with other professionals, testing the students, and filling out paperwork, the students may end up with a label that goes into their file, but there is little or no extra funding to help support that child. Within my classroom we work hard while we struggle to deal with numerous behaviour issues and learning difficulties, but we also sing, dance, laugh and play. Although I may stay up late into the night worrying about a student or pondering the challenges of the day, I wouldn’t trade places with anyone in the world. So no, Mr. Matheson, I am not a “pampered and privileged” teacher, but I am definitely one of those thousands of teachers who are “privileged” to work with the children of British Columbia. Deanna Ford Proud Cranbrook teacher
Education data
I suspect that Mr. Matheson is not an educator, with experience teaching children in the public education system. His determination to represent a realistic perspective without this background is, to put it politely, optimistic. His first use of data — “that B.C. records the second-lowest spending per pupil in Canada, after PEI” — supports Ms. Ryeburn’s claim. Spending approximately $1,000 less per pupil is significant in terms of the number of children within the public

education system, each requiring a variety of program services and support. I don’t know where Mr. Matheson found his 2010 data on teachers’ salaries, but Global News recently used current government statistics for its comparison and found that B.C. teachers were behind both Alberta and Ontario, particularly senior teachers who had taught longer. Teachers who work with children in the public education system have experienced the true nature of funding cuts in terms of support for their students. Music and art programs and other elective courses are on the chopping block as districts struggle to cope with funding that does not keep pace with past program funding, or the rising cost of inflation. It is possible to increase funding dollars yearly and still fall further and further behind in terms of funding as a per cent of the annual B.C. budget. Using data to prove one’s point is an old shell game, but it doesn’t hide the fact that students with learning challenges, or those that may succeed with just a little additional support, are now in longer line-ups to receive it. This is the reality that real practitioners, teachers, know all too well. B.C.’s Supreme Court recently ruled that the Liberal government illegally stripped class size and composition from teachers’ contracts in 2002. These are working rights that have been restored within a legal, binding contract. I would remind Mr. Matheson that Canada is still a democratic nation that values the charter rights of its citizens — at least, that’s what we teach our students! Wendy Turner Cranbrook Teacher
Federal, provincial, municipal issues
It seems members of Cranbrook City Council keep writing letters defending their positions on topics that are the responsibility of higher levels of government. I think we have a very good MLA, who takes the interests of our citizens to Victoria and advances our causes in a manner that provides progress to our community. The same can be said for our MP in dealing with federal issues. We elected those two gentlemen to look after our interests at the provincial and federal levels of government and they are doing a good job at it. We did not elect City Council for those roles. City Council must be involved in issues that are the responsibility of the city and ensuring our tax dollars are spent wisely, effectively and efficiently. The deer issue is one that council continues to stick their nose in a provincial issue and wastes City of Cranbrook tax dollars and staff time in an area where they should not be. The safety and wellbeing of Cranbrook residents and Cranbrook visitors are the responsibility of the City of Cranbrook only to the extent of what is under their jurisdiction. Wildlife is a responsibility of the province of B.C. and any wildlife concerns are properly addressed to our MLA. Potholes are a responsibility of Cranbrook City Council and yet council seems to be doing a rather substandard job of ensuring our safety is not compromised because potholes are not being repaired in

a timely fashion. How would Cranbrook City Council have reacted to our MLA or to our MP standing up in the Legislature or House of Commons and saying the City Council in Cranbrook spent about a half million dollars prepping and paving a 1.2 kilometre double lane road (used by only a few cars a day) to their sewage pump house, while many roads, used by hundreds of vehicles a day, within the City of Cranbrook are in a deplorable condition? At the time the paved road to the pump house came to light it appeared to me that all of City Council was totally unaware of this half million dollar expenditure, yet they seem to be on top of the change of postal service, urban deer and child care. Council has been given advice from taxpayers to look after the interests of the citizens of Cranbrook that is within their jurisdiction instead of writing as members of council justifying their personal positions. Larry Hall Cranbrook
Forestry lands
The provincial government is recommending changes to how logging takes place in British Columbia. These changes will increase control and management of our forests to corporations, making public input into the use of provincial lands even more difficult. The current practice of allocating companies a volume of wood to be cut (Volume Based Tenures) could be replaced with Tree Farm Licenses that would give companies long-term rights to manage the land for forestry. Our forests are in trouble, but the current proposal does not address the root cause of the problem: we are logging our forests at an unsustainable rate and not accounting for all the benefits our forests provide. We need to broaden the discussion and engage British Columbians in a real discussion for the long-term health of forests and forest communities. The provincial government’s current proposal does not meet their own objective of improved forest management. The Forest Practices Board, the independent watchdog for sound forest practices in British Columbia, says the proposed changes will not help, but will hinder the ability of government to manage the long-term sustainability of our forests. Even some industry leaders such as Canfor’s CEO Don Kane have recognized the folly of the proposal and requested that government not go ahead with the proposed changes to tenure. It is critically important that British Columbians demonstrate that we care about our forests and all of the benefits that they provide. We do not want public land use to be further controlled by private companies. The government’s proposal is a simplistic response to timber supply shortfalls and unsustainable harvest rates. The proposal to create new Tree Farm Licenses fails to recognize that government and public oversight is important for the health of our forests and the long-term health of our communities.

After a clean sweep in Medicine Hat a week ago, the Cranbrook Bandits picked up a win in four games this past weekend during American Legion baseball action in the U.S. “Lots of guys were playing really well, the rookies were playing well,” said Tyler Thorn, after practice on Tuesday afternoon at Confederation Park. “We had a tough weekend on the defensive side of the game, but overall, we made a huge improvement at the bats, way better hitting and the energy was better.” The Bandits played a double-header with the Libby Loggers on Saturday, winning their opener 6-5 and dropping the rematch at 15-9, before suffering a pair of losses against the Whitefish Glacier ‘A’ Twins on Sunday. Head coach Paul Mrazek said he is starting to see good things from his players. “[We] got some players in different positions, pitching’s a little thin, so it’s tough to get through the weekend, but everyone got some time and saw some really good things out of the younger pitchers, so it was promising,” Mrazek said. “It’s just going to take time. “Then we had some guys make some outstanding plays out there and things are starting to click. On the other side, there were some outs that we should’ve had,

Cranbrook Bandits player Devon Marra catches for an out in the fourth inning during a game against the Libby Loggers. the players need to start getting more comfortable out there and know that they can make the play. They make it in practice, they can’t tense up in the game.” Despite a 5-0 lead for the Loggers after four innings, the Bandits rallied to to tie it up 5-5 at the bottom of the sixth, and scoring in the eighth to take the win. Cedar Kemp drove in three runs on one hit,
Cedar KEMP Position: 3rd Base Pitcher
Game Notes: Cedar Kemp earned Player of the Week honours for the Cranbrook Bandits this past week, as the team headed down to the U.S. for four games. In the first game, he threw for six complete innings and had three RBI’s off of one hit during a 6-5 win over the Libby Loggers.
while Devon Marra had two RBI’s and Brandon Ouilette had one. Kei Chlopan, and Marra scored runs, while Brenden Bird and Brandon Ouilette made it home twice. The bats went to work, with Ouilette leading at the plate with four hits, with Thorn and Marra each connecting twice. Kemp had a big game on the mound, pitching for six complete innings before Marra closed it out. “It was a slow start,” said Thorn. “We were down 5-0 up until the fourth inning, then we started to get the sticks going. We strung together two innings full of some good hits and scored a couple runs, so got to 6-5 in the seventh inning and Devon went in to close it out—our ace. “Things got a little tense, a little close, they had a man on third and we threw a passed ball and managed to get the guy out at home, so it was a very tense game.” The two teams went at it again right after, but the Loggers got their revenge with a 15-9 win.
It was a shootout at the start, with Libby going up 11 runs after three innings, but the Bandits kept up on the scoreboard, scoring eight times. Libby pulled ahead in the fourth with another four runs, while the Bandits only added a single in the sixth inning. Marra had a big game at the plate with four RBI’s, while Ouilette, Thorn, Robert Nickell and Jake Bromley brought in the rest of the runners. Ouilette and Robert Nickell split the majority of pitching duties, while Chlopan and Bird also spent some time on the mound. Following the doubleheader, the Bandits went up against a strong Glacier Twins ‘A’ team on Sunday, losing at 11-3 and 10-0. Bird had a pair of RBI’s, bringing home Noah Rennette and Chlopan, but the Bandits couldn’t keep pace with the Glaciers. The Glaciers tightened up after the first game, shutting out the Bandits on the plate to earn a 10-0 win.

Bouchard advances to French Open semifinals C anadian Press
PARIS - Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard reached her second straight Grand Slam semifinal as she defeated Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-5 at the French Open on Tuesday. The spot in the final four comes four months after the 18th seed from Westmount, Que., lost to eventual champion Li Na in an Australian Open semifinal. The 20-year-old Bouchard will next meet Russia’s Maria Sharapova after the 2012 champion beat Spain’s Garbine Muguruza in a 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 comeback win. “I’m very content with a win like this,” said Bouchard. “It was a battle throughout. She played very well especially on long points. “The last set was key for me. I’m really excited to be playing Sharapova in a big match here.” Bouchard won the first set in an hour, but dropped the second as she lost her last two service games. Suarez Navarro jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the third set before the Canadian fought back with a key break and service holds. “I wouldn’t say I surprised myself, no,” said Bouchard. “I’ve come back in matches before. Tennis can be like that, a bit up and down. I just really tried to forget about what the score was or anything and just tried to play the right way, you know. “Once I started going for my shots a little bit more it started working better. The third set it was just a really cool atmosphere I think for both of us to be playing like that. Even if I
was down 5-2 or 4-1 in the third, (I didn’t) worry too much - keep going, keep going, keep going, and it paid off in the end.” Bouchard earned a match point but double-faulted the opportunity away. She put a backhand long on a second chance before clinching victory after two hours 22 minutes when her opponent came up short on a return. Bouchard finished with 46 winners, 38 unforced errors and breaks on six of 14 chances. Sharapova, a four-time Grand Slam winner, has won both of her previous matches against Bouchard, including a second-round match last year in Paris. Following the tradition begun in Melbourne earlier this year, a fan tossed a stuffed animal to Bouchard and she took it to her on-court television interview. Former French player Fabrice Santoro then insisted on taking a photo with Bouchard as the crowd cheered. Bouchard is the third Canadian woman to reach the Roland Garros quarter-finals after Carling Bassett-Seguso (1984, 1986) and Helen Kelesi (1988, 1989). Bouchard and Bassett-Seguso are the only players to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam (Bassett-Seguso, 1984 US Open). Later Monday, Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., was aiming to reach the men’s singles semifinals. He faced second-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia. Sharapova, meanwhile, started slow Tuesday by drop-
ping four of her first five games. She then started to land her shots and her serves with more consistency and won nine of the last 10 games. Muguruza, who was playing in a Grand Slam quarter-final for the first time in her career, eliminated defending champion Serena Williams in the second round. Sharapova lost in the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2011, then won the title a year later to complete a career Grand Slam. She lost in last year’s final to Williams. “It was so tough losing in the final last year, being the defending champion,” Sharapova said. “This year, to come back, I have the extra motivation to go further, and to be back on (this) stage is a really nice feeling.” Sharapova opened her match with a double fault, the first of eight in the match. And she lost 15 of the first 20 points. But even though Sharapova held in the fifth game, she was broken again, this time at love, to lose the first set.
Things changed rather quickly in the second set. At 1-1, Sharapova finally broke, with some help from Muguruza. The unseeded Spaniard, ranked 35th in the world, double-faulted twice in a row to give Sharapova her second break point of the match. The tall Russian converted when Muguruza sent a backhand long. Although Sharapova was broken again in the set, again with a double fault, she started to hold serve more easily while giving Muguruza more trouble while receiving. By the time the third set started, Sharapova was moving Muguruza all over the court, landing her forehands and backhands easily. The only hiccup came in the fourth game, when Muguruza had five break points but couldn’t convert any of them. “That was one of the most important games,” Sharapova said. “After I won that game, I certainly gained more confidence.”
Raonic’s French Open run ends in straight sets loss to Djokovic Associated Press
PARIS - Novak Djokovic advanced to the French Open semifinals for the sixth time in his career, and he’ll be looking for only his second win at that stage. The second-seeded Serb beat eighth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-4 Tuesday on Court Philippe Chatrier, the main stadium at
Roland Garros. Djokovic is a six-time major champion, but he still needs to win the French Open to complete a career Grand Slam. He reached the semifinals at Roland Garros the last four years, but only made one final, losing to Rafael Nadal in 2012. He also made semifinal appearances in 2007 and ‘08.

Carcillo’s NHL suspension trimmed to six games NEW YORK, N.Y. - New York Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo will be eligible to return for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final after the NHL trimmed his suspension to six games on Tuesday. Carcillo had originally been assessed a 10-game ban under Rule 40.3 for deliberately applying physical force to an official. The incident occurred May 22 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final against the Montreal Canadiens. Commissioner Gary Bettman, who heard Carcillo’s appeal at a hearing last Friday, ruled that Carcillo’s actions were more appropriately deemed a violation of Rule 40.4 for deliberately applying “physical force to an official for the sole purpose of getting free of such official during or immediately following an altercation.” Bettman determined that a suspension of six games was the proper penalty for the re-classified infraction. Carcillo has already served three games of the suspension. Los Angeles will host the first two games in the best-of-seven series on Wednesday and Saturday. The series will shift to New York for Game 3 on Monday and Game 4 on June 11. Associated Press
Scoreless till the 9th inning, Blue Jays beat Tigers 5-3 DETROIT - In a game that was scoreless until the ninth inning, Brett Lawrie’s three-run homer highlighted a big burst for the Toronto Blue Jays in a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. After eight innings of crisp, scoreless baseball between the AL East and AL Central leaders, both bullpens came unglued in the ninth. The Blue Jays broke through against Joe Nathan (2-2). J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Tigers. Casey Janssen came on and struck out Don Kelly for his ninth save in 10 chances. Detroit’s Anibal Sanchez and Toronto’s Drew Hutchison each pitched seven impressive innings. Dustin McGowan (3-2) worked the eighth for the win. Associated Press

Once again, L.A. prevailed. Just like that. In the third round, I figured the Chicago Blackhawks—the They’re just a solid team that has that roster depth needed defending Stanley Cup champions—were going to defend to go deep in the playoffs. On paper, at least, they’re the strontheir title and send L.A. home. For the third straight round, the Kings went to Game 7 and ger team. But, as I’ve learned this year, you can’t ever count the unwon the series in overtime. derdogs out. So let me make a bold prediction right now. And make no mistake, the Rangers are underdogs.

This is a group of players supporting two teammates who tide turns. It’s not like there was a huge momentum shift, but Jeff are going through hard times outside the arena, and that sup-
port is manifesting in on-ice performance. Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has better numbers than his L.A. counterpart; the Rangers goaltender has a goals against average of 2.03 with a save percentage of 0.928. Quick, in turn, has a GAA of 2.86 and a save percentage of 0.906. The Rangers crease guardian does have the ability to steal games—the Blueshirts won three games with a one-goal differential, two in overtime and have posted one shutout victory. Quick has won three one-goal games and another in overtime. But again, I’m not eager to write the Rangers off so easily. They’ve been getting scoring from committee—St. Louis and Carl Hagelin have six goals, Derek Stepan, Brad Richards and Derick Brassard have five, Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider have four. Stepan has had a bit of an inspirational playoffs as well, scoring twice in Game 5 in the series against the Canadiens after returning from surgery that repaired a broken jaw. I think the Rangers have an advantage if they can use their speed down low, but that being said, the last time a team coached by Alain Vigneault relied on speedy, skilled forwards in the Stanley Cup final, it didn’t work out for them. And then he eventually got fired. However, this is a new year, a new team, and a new playoffs. Anything is possible. But my gut feeling is that we’ll see Kootenay Ice alum Jarret Stoll raising the Cup (again) sometime within the next two weeks.

Relay for Life raises $66,000
The cancer society fundraiser, held Saturday, May 31 at the College of the Rockies, saw hundreds walk the track for a 12-hour relay. Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
At the first Relay for Life without rain for five years, more than $66,000 was raised on May 31 for the Canadian Cancer Society. “It was such a wonderful experience,” said Jenn Smith, coordinator of community giving for the society’s B.C. and Yukon Division. “The generosity of the community, the wonderful stories, laughter
and fun... Tears were shed but they were tears of joy and support.” Fundraising totals for the Cranbrook Kimberley Relay for Life were still coming in this week, but so far the 215 participants in 31 teams raised more than $66,000 for cancer research. “Our top fundraising team was BDO – Tame the Mane. They raised $16,341; their goal was $15,000. Michael Mur-
phy and Manoj Kaushal put their hair on the line to raise this money,” said Smith. The top individual fundraiser was Vintee Kaushal, who raised an impressive $8,724. The top youth fundraiser was Bret Race, raising $1,690. The event was sponsored by Bridge Interiors, Sandor Rentals, Northstar Motors, Western Financial Group, Kootenay News Adver-
tiser, and the Drive and B-104. A crew of volunteers brought the Relay to life. “The event could not have happened without the Relay organizing committee and their months of work and then it all came together with the hard working day of volunteers. Thank you, everyone!” said Smith. Photos by Sally MacDonald

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your usual style of handling an issue won’t be as successful as you might have hoped it would be. Others might be confused about your vision and your expectations. Break it down to a realistic, simple perspective for them to understand. Tonight: Work late if need be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could have difficulty getting going in the morning, but around noon you are likely to get a second wind and feel energized. You seem to be able to come up with ideas for solving problems. Others see you as a creative source of inspiration. Tonight: Go for something wild. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Schedule an important talk for the morning, because other events could distract you later. In fact, you are likely to close your door in the afternoon and do some heavy thinking. Don’t push yourself beyond what you are able to handle. Tonight: Take some much-needed downtime.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Communication will flourish in the afternoon. You finally will have time for a conversation with a loved one that you have been putting off. Though you might not always see eye to eye, you both care about each other. Tonight: Make nice, and enjoy the results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to reconsider a change of pace. You often can be found dashing from one meeting or happening to another. Stopping and becoming more detail-oriented will give you some time to consider an issue that is likely to affect your life. Tonight: Your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be off-kilter for a while, but you’ll loosen up considerably by noon. You need to do what you feel is important, as you could be unusually successful at the present moment. A meeting could be more important than you realize. Tonight: Let the good times roll. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to think

(Get your money’s worth - with coverage both in newspaper AND online!)
through a decision that comes up in a meeting. You’ll need to settle down to do some solid reflecting and brainstorming. You could be confused as to which way to go. Take some time to process your thoughts. Tonight: Relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be willing to look at your obligations as well as your passion regarding a project. Only then can you make a solid choice about your direction and needs. You could be quite talkative as you try to decide what works best for you. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might not be sure about taking a stand, but you’ll sense that it is important. Others don’t seem to be in agreement, but you have a different perspective to offer. A family member could be confused about your choices. Tonight: Go with the moment; it could be a late night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to look at your long-term desires, as you could want to revise your thinking.
Once you get your goals in order, success will come more easily. Someone you might want to share with could appear from out of the blue. Tonight: Surf the Web. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll prefer to relate on a one-on-one level. Take the opportunity to have that type of conversation with a special associate. You might want to get to know this person better, and vice versa. Use caution with your funds and commitments. Tonight: With someone special. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Consider what is happening with a loved one. On many levels, the two of you have a lot in common; however, this person lives in constant stress while you are able to look at the big picture. Make a point of sharing your perspective. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk. BORN TODAY Actress Angelina Jolie (1975), opera singer Cecilia Bartoli (1966), comedian Russell Brand (1975) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I work at a regional medical center, and friends and family often ask me to recommend a doctor or a physician’s group for them. For a while, I didn’t mind giving these people a few names, but I have grown reluctant to do so. My reluctance is not because I don’t trust in the knowledge and care provided by the doctors I work with. It’s because of the negative feedback I get after these people visit the specialists I recommend. I am tired of handing out the names of good, hardworking practitioners to people who refuse to listen to the advice given to them. They don’t want to take the prescribed medications or regimens, nor do they follow through with the therapy as ordered. Then they complain to the entire community about what terrible doctors I told them to see. I feel as if the doctors are judging me each time they see my name as a referral. Yet when I decline to give suggestions, people react as if I am being a snob. How do I keep my sanity, as well as my career? -- Please Stop Asking Me Dear Please: Medical professionals are accustomed to patients who disregard their instructions, but you certainly can ask directly whether they would prefer that you not refer your friends and family to them. We suspect they are glad to know that someone who works closely with them thinks highly of their skills. But either way, you are under no obligation to give out recommendations. It’s OK to tell people nicely that you no longer make referrals because you don’t wish to mix your professional and personal lives. If they don’t like it, too bad. Dear Annie: My 85-year-old aunt, who was quite active, recently underwent extensive abdominal surgery and ended up in the hospital for six weeks. During this entire time, she was not bathed by the overworked nursing staff except for the times we complained about the smell. There wasn’t even a washbasin in her room. Eventually a friend of hers who is a retired nurse came in regularly and bathed her. This was in Florida, but I’ve heard similar stories from friends and family in other states. I think this is absolutely disgusting. When I was a student nurse in the 1970s, my textbook dedicated 20 pages to the importance of bathing, not only for physical health, but for psychological well-being. Florence Nightingale said that nurses who allow sick patients to remain unwashed are interfering with their healing. This lack of care did not occur where I worked. We bathed our patients daily and gave them back rubs to increase circulation and prevent bedsores. Since then, nurses aides and LPNs have practically been eliminated. My aunt is now home, but she is still weak from fighting off infections. It’s no wonder. I would like to see the doctors and medical staff running the hospitals again and not the insurance companies, which seem to know nothing about human dignity. This kind of care is appalling. -- Disgusted in New York Dear New York: Health care costs have skyrocketed since you were in nursing school, and it is unfortunate that in some cases the level of care has deteriorated in an effort to save money. We, too, wish there were a better solution. Dear Annie: This is for “Wish I Could Turn Back Time,” the 62-year-old great-grandmother who served prison time for a nonviolent felony and can’t get a job because of her record. Most states have laws allowing for the expungement of criminal records, especially for nonviolent offenses. This allows those who made a mistake and learned their lesson to get a conviction removed from their record, in which case, she wouldn’t need to tell prospective employers. She should check out the expungement requirements in her state. -- L. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries KENNEDY, KEVIN August 9, 1944 May 30, 2014 Kevin Kennedy, a genuine “sourdough,” was born in Whitehorse, YT on August 9, 1944. Kevin was the eldest of seven children, and the family moved extensively around B.C.
From 1958 to 1964, Kevin attended the seminary of Christ the King in Mission City and this experience, under the guidance of the Benedictine Monks, secured his strong Catholic faith and created many of the values that stayed with him the rest of his life. When he left the seminary, Kevin spent twelve years as a steam engineer in several pulp mills and sawmills throughout the province. During this period, he was active in the labour movement and held a variety of positions in the PPWC. He had the reputation of being a very capable negotiator and earned respect on both sides of the table for his honesty and integrity. He married his first wife, Margaret Marra in 1966 and they had two children, Bridget and Bernie. In 1976, Kevin attended university and completed a B.Ed. degree and worked with mentally handicapped and disabled adults. In 1989, he returned to the University of Calgary and obtained a masters degree in Rehabilitative Psychology and joined his second wife, Bobbi, in her counselling practice in Cranbrook. In 2000, they closed their practice and moved to Gambier Island and Kevin worked throughout Howe Sound where his focus was mainly on men of violence. However, it was his work with First Nations communities that gave him the most satisfaction. He retired to Gibsons in 2011, and after an intensive struggle with cancer, he passed peacefully on May 30th, 2014. He is survived by his five brothers and sister, his wife, Bobbi, two children, Bridget (David Dunbar,) Bernie Kennedy (Christie,) and five grandchildren: Alexander, Jason, Gavin, Sam and Kevin. Blessed with an unfailing sense of humour, he loved kayaking, fly fishing - and single malt whisky! He will be missed by his large extended family and his many friends throughout the province. In lieu of flowers, donations are kindly requested on behalf on the Canadian Catholic charity, Development and Peace, or the BC Cancer Society.

Obituary Leith, James Alexander
LEITH, JAMES ALEXANDER; Jim passed away peacefully on May 29, 2014 at the age of 91 years. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by Doris, his wife of 68 years; daughters; Dayle (Chuck) Neale, Karen (Bill) Nelson, and Julie Sardinha of Summerland; son, David (Joy) Leith; sister, Jessie (Fred) Jensen; brother, Bill (Marian) Leith; 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Jim was sadly predeceased by his brothers,; David and John; sister, Alice (O’Neill); and son-in-law, Joe (Sardinha). Jim was born on November 6, 1922 in Wycliff, BC and grew up in Kimberly. He attended the University of British Columbia earning his M.A Sc. in Chemical Engineering in 1946. It was while studying at UBC that Jim met his life-long love, Doris, on the MacDonald bus and they were married in 1945. After graduation Jim’s first job was teaching high school math in Oliver, B.C. before beginning work in his field of engineering. In 1958 he began work for Crown Zellerbach, where he worked until his retirement in 1981. Life as an engineer meant many transfers between mills and new towns in which to live. By the time that Jim and Doris sold their house in Camas, Washington and made their final move to Summerland in 1995, Jim and Doris had moved a total of 13 times. Jim will be remembered as a man of great compassion, strength and honour. His greatest loves were family, fishing and gardening (and a rousing game of cards!) – he was especially proud of his tomatoes and roses. After his retirement, Jim and Doris enjoyed annual trips during the winter to Maui and summer vacations in Kimberly, for family get-togethers, fishing and accordion festivals. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at St Mary’s Lake in Kimberly in early August. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the food bank of your choice. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com

Missing Mount Rainier climbers came from Singapore, Minnesota, New York R achel L a Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. — The climbers who likely died last week on snow-capped Mount Rainier in Washington state had travelled from as far as Singapore, Minnesota and New York to ascend the glacial peak. The two guides and four clients were all experienced climbers who were taking on a more technical and challenging route to the top of the 14,410-foot (4,392-meter) mountain southeast of Seattle. Erik Britton Kolb, a 34-yearold finance manager at American Express, had travelled from New York to join the group. Kolb had “an adventurous nature and thirst for seeing the world,’’ his family said in a statement. He had travelled extensively to places such as Jordan, Europe and Tanzania, and he was set to take a trip to Peru this summer. “He was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for new and exciting experiences,’’ the statement said. He lived with his wife, Lisa, in Brooklyn. The identities of the two guides from Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International were released on its website.
Alpine Ascents International/Associated Press
Alpine Ascents International climbing guides Matthew Hegeman and Eitan Green are two of six climbers who likely plummeted to their deaths on Mount Rainier in Washington. The company and Mount Rainier National Park have refused to release other names, citing privacy issues, but family members and colleagues have released details on the other climbers. Intel Corp. spokesman Bill Calder confirmed that his colleague Uday Marty, 40, a vice-president and managing director of Intel in Southeast Asia, was among the group of climbers. Marty, who was based in Singapore, was “widely loved and respected at this company,’’ Calder told The Associated Press. “We are most definitely mourning his loss here.’’ It’s not known whether a
rock fall, avalanche or other problem caused the climbers to fall from their last known whereabouts at 12,800 feet (3,900 metres) on Liberty Ridge. They were last heard from at 6 p.m. May 28 when the guides checked in with Alpine Ascents by satellite phone. The group failed to return Friday as planned and authorities said Saturday that they were presumed dead. It’s also unclear whether the climbers were moving or camping at the time of the accident. Searchers located camping and climbing gear and detected signals from avalanche beacons buried in the snow at the top of Carbon Gla-
cier at 9,500 feet (2,895 metres). Park rangers and rescuers often are able to retrieve bodies within days of an accident, but sometimes it takes weeks or months, when conditions have improved. However, the six missing hikers might never be recovered because of the hazardous terrain, authorities say. Alpine Ascents said Matthew Hegeman, the lead guide, was intense and philosophical with a good sense of humour. Eitan Green, the other guide, loved his time in the mountains and was a strong leader and quick to smile, the website said. The Seattle Times reported Monday that Seattle mountain climber John Mullally was one of the six. His wife, Holly Mullally, issued a statement to the newspaper saying she had previously been on climbs organized by the company. “John was an amazing husband, father, friend, mountaineer, and all-around human being,’’ Holly Mullally said in the statement to the Times. Rob Mahaney told the AP that his 26-year-old nephew, Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was among those presumed dead.
Strife imitates art
‘Hunger Games’ salute flashed in protest in Thailand; arrests threatened ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANGKOK, Thailand — The three-finger salute from the Hollywood movie “The Hunger Games’’ is being used as a real symbol of resistance in Thailand. Protesters against the military coup are flashing the gesture as a silent act of rebellion, and they’re being threatened with arrest if they ignore warnings to stop. Thailand’s military rulers said Tuesday they were monitoring the new form of opposition to the coup. Reporters witnessed the phenomenon and individuals were captured on film making the raised-arm salute. “Raising three fingers has become a symbol in calling for fundamental political rights,’’ said anti-coup activist Sombat Boonngam-anong on his Facebook page. He called on people to raise “3 fingers, 3 times a day’’ — at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. — in safe public places where no police or military are present. The gesture emerged over the weekend as protesters joined small flash mobs, or stood alone, flashing three fin-

Anti-coup protesters give a three-finger, raised-arm salute in Thailand. gers in the air. “We know it comes from the movie, and let’s say it represents resistance against the authorities,’’ Col. Weerachon Sukhondhapatipak, a spokesman for the junta, told The Associated Press. “If a single individual raises three fingers in the air, we are not going to arrest him or her,’’ he said. “But if it is a political gathering of five people or more, then we will have to take some action.’’ “If it persists, then we will have to make an arrest,’’ he
said. In “The Hunger Games’’ movie series and book trilogy, the salute symbolizes rebellion against totalitarian rule, signifying thanks, admiration and goodbye to a loved one. But Thai protesters gave varying explanations. Some cited the French Revolution’s trinity of values: liberty, equality, fraternity. Others said it means freedom, election and democracy. A photo montage circulating online paired a picture from “The Hunger Games’’
with a graphic of three fingers labeled, 1. No Coup, 2. Liberty, 3. Democracy. While the strife-imitating-art nature of the phenomenon is extraordinary, it’s not unprecedented. Other examples of pop culture symbols being used to express political sentiments include Occupy protesters wearing the Guy Fawkes mask from the “V for Vendetta’’ movie. The practice of tying a yellow ribbon as a symbol of support for hostages, missing soldiers or prisoners was popularized in part by the song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree’’ that topped the charts in 1973. “The Hunger Games’’ films have been popular in Thailand, but not unusually so. The last film, “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’’ made $3.3 million last year, which ranked eighth among 2013 releases. The 2012 film “The Hunger Games’’ made $2.1 million, ranking 17th that year. A spokesman for the film distributor Lionsgate said the company was aware of the Thai protest but had no comment.

Tortoise strays from home, travels half-mile before being found ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAVISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 60pound runaway tortoise is back home in Michigan after disappearing for several days and making it about a halfmile during that time. The Flint Journal reports the pet named Franklin strayed Thursday from his home in Genesee County’s Davison Township and was found on Sunday. Owner Chris Breu-
han says family members walked his 10-acre property and started putting up flyers to see whether anyone had spotted Franklin. It turns out that the man who found him saw one of the flyers, and Franklin was brought home. Breuhan says he was concerned that Franklin might get run over by a vehicle in the rural area. “Nothing will eat him,’’ Breuhan said, noting that: “He’s too big.’’
3 Dutchmen convicted for frightening cyclists with axe-wielding ‘clown ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — A Dutch court has convicted three men of threatening behaviour after one dressed up as a clown and chased unsuspecting cyclists with an axe. The other two filmed the prank and posted it on YouTube, according to a written description of the April 24 event released Tuesday. In one part of the footage, a female bicy-
clist was videotaped approaching the clown’s hiding place in bushes. The prosecutors’ statement says the clown jumped out, screamed at the girl, raised the axe over his head and chased her down the street. The three men, who were not identified by court officials, defended their actions as humorous. All were sentenced to 40 hours’ community service.
Man accused of taking fire truck for 30-minute joyride ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRIDGEWATER, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man has been accused of sneaking into a fire department and taking a woman on a 30-minute joyride in a fire truck. The Beaver County Times reports that fire officials saw Randy Allen Davidson — who is not a firefighter —
enter the Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Department about midnight May 26, grab the vehicle’s keys and drive the truck away with a woman in the passenger seat. Police say Davidson returned the truck and the keys to their original positions about 30 minutes later.
