Kimberley motorcycle crash claims life

45-year old Ontario man declared deceased at scene C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

At approximately 3:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, June 10, Kimberley RCMP were called to the scene of a motorcycle acci-

dent by several witnesses.

The motorcyclist was travelling south and lost control in the curve near Black Bear Bridge, just where the speed limit changes from 50 kph to 80 kph.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel says BC Ambulance attended the scene and found the male driver deceased.

Newel says the victim was a 45-year old man from Ontario. No name has been re-

leased.

“While traveling southbound the driver lost control in a curve, the motorcycle left the road and the rider was thrown,” Newel said.

“The crash is being investigated by East Kootenay Traffic Services and BC Coroner’s Service. Several witnesses observed the motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed prior to the crash.”

Three-year old Hadlie Hoglund at Disneyland last week.

Grandparents pray for miracle C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Ask any grandparent and they’ll tell you that grandchildren are the greatest joy in life. For Kimberley City Councillor Albert Hoglund and wife Lynne that joy has turned into more sorrow than they ever imagined.

Just a few weeks ago, on the May long weekend, their granddaughter Hadlie, who just turned three in March, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. Hadlie is the daughter of the Hoglunds’ son Matthew, an RCMP officer stationed in Grande Prairie, AB, and wife Sarah. She also has a brother, Kade, aged five.

The unbearable news is that Hadlie may only have a year left.

A spray park is something Kimberley parents have been requesting for many years. There was an active committee fundraising but it wasn’t able to get the project off the ground.

Now, however, the Kimberley Rotary Club has taken up the cause and will partner with the Spray Park Committee to build a park by 2015.

The Spray Park Committee presented their request for help at a Kimberley Rotary lunch together with a $7000 cheque as the first down payment.

The site chosen is right beside the Rotary playground and washrooms on Rotary Drive.

Rotary’s first action

SUBMITTED

An artist’s rendering of the Rotary Spray Park. was to seek endorsements for the project from the City of Kimberley, Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Kimberley. Rotary Park is a drawing point for kids and parents in

Kimberley. The addition of a Spray Park requested by the community will greatly enhance the popularity of this gathering point for local families and visitors, Rotary members believe. Endorsement

was unanimous.

The first major fundraiser for the spray park is the Rotary Lobsterfest, planned for June 21 at the Kimberley Conference Centre.

This is Kimberley Rotary’s largest annual

fundraiser.

Funds will be raised through live and silent auctions, 50/50 draws and raffles, while guests enjoy a dinner of lobster, flown in from Nova Scotia the occasion.

Black Earth live at the Byng Roadhouse F e r dy Be ll an d

“We’ve played all around southern B.C. many times and we hope we get to keep bringing our music to all those awesome mountain towns. The Kootenays may be our favourite place on the planet.”

So says lead guitarist Anthony Jannicki, and with such kind things to say about our home, Calgary’s hard-rocking punk champions Black Earth are set to blast it out at the legendary Byng Roadhouse this Friday, June 13.

“We’ve had a pretty rad year for shows,” said Jannicki, “but one that stands out was opening for The Tea Party in Calgary, closely followed by playing The Fangles CD release in Kelowna.

We plan to go on another B.C. tour in October and then we hope to re-

lease our new album in November. We’ve been working on it all year.

After that (if there’s time) then maybe a little world domination... but that all depends on how much cash is left in the band fund.”

Black Earth (which also includes lead vocalist Erika Leah, bassist Tyler Kocian, and drummer Steve Richter) have been shaking the walls of Calgary’s vibrant rock scene since 2009, releasing two albums (2011’s “Ammo” and 2012’s “Dreameater”), aggressively touring back and forth across Canada, and taking their rightful place alongside other established modern Cowtown rockers such as the Evidence, Torches to Triggers, Craic the Lens, and Won Over Nothing.

“We love touring!”

Jannicky exclaims. “It’s

For the Townsman Tyler Kocian, Erika Leah, Steve Richter and Anthony Jannicki

a chance to go on an adventure with friends and do what we love,

while getting to explore this amazing country. Black Earth is in

full-on family mode now. We all know each other’s limits, and even though we have our fair share of tense moments... we never dwell or hold anything against

each other. There’s a lot of love and respect in this band. We’re best friends, and we generally like hanging out with each other. I’ve known Tyler since first grade,

Protect our earth.

The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin promote recycling.

We use vegetable-based inks, and our newsprint, tin and aluminum waste is recycled.

Erika’s been my roommate for over three years, and we all adore our drummer Steve. So yeah, I believe Black Earth will be making loud noises for many years to come.”

Jannicki muses over the raison-d’etre of musicians in general and Black Earth in particular.

“Do it for the love of music! Money’s great to help fuel the fire, but in the end it all comes down to your passion.

Being a band sucks 70 per cent of the time. It’s hauling gear, fighting, playing dead shows, and being poor. But it’s also 30 per cent of totally amazing! And that’s what you do it for. When you’re playing a packed show where everyone’s rocking out, or when you’re jamming a new song and it’s coming together beautifully: those are the moments that make it all worthwhile.”

Black Earth rock it out loud and proud (with guests, the Brotherhood of Lost Souls) at the legendary Byng Roadhouse in downtown Cranbrook this Friday, June 13; showtime 9:30 p.m.

“Her wish was to be a princess,” says Lynne.

“At Disneyworld they took her to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and princessed her up.”

The trip was important for the whole family, Albert says because they want to create a lot of memories for Hadlie’s brother Kade.

He says the RCMP has been incredibly supportive of Matthew, arranging for compassionate leave.

There are more plans in the works should Hadlie’s health allow it, including a trip to a major league baseball game.

“It’s not really money now,” Lynne said. “We are asking for prayers. Just pray, we need a miracle. And hug your kids. Support Children’s Hospital and support cancer research.”

“You always think it will happen to someone else,” Albert said.

Albert has fought cancer himself but says it doesn’t even compare.

“This is worse,” he said, his voice breaking.

Rather than give in to the pain, the entire family has vowed to make as many memories as possible in the time Hadlie has left.

“Matthew and Sarah say that they are going to walk into Hadlie’s room every day and say ‘what do you want to do today?’,” Albert said.

It all began, Albert says, when Hadlie’s parents noticed that one leg was weak. They thought at first she had injured it somehow. But then on the May long weekend they saw that she couldn’t hold a ball.

They took her to the doctor and were immediately sent to Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.

The news was grim.

Hadlie has a DIPG tumour on her brain stem.

“It’s not operable,” Lynne said. “A DIPG tumour doesn’t respond to chemo. Radiation will only shrink it and she can only have six weeks of treatment.”

That treatment began this week.

But before radiation, Hadlie got to experience something she really wanted — a trip to Disneyland.

As soon as the diagnosis came in, fundraising began to help the Hoglund family fulfill all Hadlie’s wishes. That fundraising has already raised an astounding $102,000.

“They are overwhelmed by what’s happened,” Albert said. “A lot of the donations are anonymous.”

Albert says any money not used will be donated to organizations that are helping to care for Hadlie.

The trip to Disneyland last week was made possible through the Make a Wish Foundation. 21 family members, including Albert and Lynne, and friends, made the trip to California. Hadlie was given the princess treatment as soon as the family got on the airplane.

“WestJet was phenomenal,” Albert said.

“When we got there WestJet employees met us with signs that said ‘Princess Hadlie’, when we flew home; they were out on the tarmac

Could the hens come back to roost on Cranbrook backyard chickens?

Twelve-year-old Sierra Oatman hopes so.

The Highlands Elementary student sent a letter to the city on the topic with the hopes that the topic could be revisited.

“I’m writing to you because I want to know how to change your mind about owning laying hens in town,” Sierra wrote.

The letter appeared in the agenda package for the Monday, June 9, council meeting. Sierra was in the audience with her mom.

In the letter, Sierra argued that it doesn’t make make sense that people in Vancouver are free to raise up to four hens in their backyard, while in Cranbrook the municipal bylaw prohibits it.

“I do not understand why a big city of around two million people can raise hens in the city, but a small town of about 22,000 people cannot,” she wrote.

Sierra said that she wants to eat healthy and raise hens that have not been fed steroids or hormones.

In Vancouver, residents are not allowed roosters, other fowl or livestock.

Mayor Stetski noted city council had a discussion on the topic two years ago, when a resi-

dent brought forward a request to raise not just chickens, but other animals in Cranbrook.

“As I recall, he wanted other animals besides chickens to be kept in Cranbrook, including goats and turkeys and other things,” Stetski said. It was voted down.

Stetski said he would bring a motion back to a future council meeting to consider allowing chickens in the city.

Sierra wrote that Vancouver residents can keep hens under these simple rules as long as they meet the residential requirements: • A maximum of four hens; • Hens must be four months or older; • No other fowl or livestock are allowed; • Eggs, meat and manure can’t be used for commercial purposes; no backyard slaughter-

NOTICE OF CLOSING PRACTICE AT THE ASSOCIATE MEDICAL CLINIC:

DR. H. (RINA) FOURIE Herewith notification that Dr. Rina Fourie will be closing her Family Medicine practice at the Associate Medical Clinic in July 2014 and will be relocating to Manitoba. Unfortunately, due to the apparent shortage of General Practitioners / Family Physicians in Cranbrook, I am not in the position to refer you to any other Family Physician taking new patients and I have no immediate knowledge of any Physician who will be taking over my current practice. I will make every effort to inform you if this changes in the next two months. Should you find another Family Physician to continue your care in the near future, you can contact the Associate Medical Clinic to obtain a copy of your medical records. Thank you very much for allowing me the privilege of being involved in your medical care. I trust that you will have success in finding a replacement Family Physician as soon as possible and my best wishes accompany you.

Sincerely, Dr. H. (Rina) Fourie

ing.

Coun. Angus Davis supported Sierra’s letter.

“I lived in a small community for a number of years where people didn’t want chickens,” Davis said. “One man decided he was going to have chickens.

He had them in his yard and they never caused anybody one bit of trouble. I don’t know what’s going to happen with this, but as long as I’m on this council I support you one hundred per cent.”

Coun. Sharon Cross said the letter also speaks to a wider issue of food security and poverty reduction.

“I think there is a place for having chickens, how that would look ... every community does it slightly different,” Cross said.

Cross noted that she bought free-range eggs until she found out that the requirements for the “free-range” designation are not very high.

“A free-range chicken only gets a three to four foot space in which to roam,” she said. “I grew up on a farm; I don’t think that’s freerange.”

She now buys from a local farm.

Coun. Gerry Warner said a lot of people are disconnected from the origins of their food.

“People today tend to believe that food isn’t food until it’s wrapped in styrofoam or some sort of package. We’re losing that connection,” he said. “If this comes up again, you can count on my vote.”

Coun.

Denise Pallesen said that although keeping chickens is currently prohibited in the city, there are stores that sell organic and free-range chickens and eggs in Cranbrook.

Coun. Diana J. Scott had some concerns with chickens being kept in the city.

“It sounds lovely in principle, but there are things to take into consideration,” Scott said.

The City of Vancouver passed its backyard chicken bylaw in 2011, while New Westminster has had a bylaw regulating backyard chickens since 1968.

Stetski to run Huntress Nikita makes final six again in Cranbrook Local hunter Barry Coulter

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski held a press conference outside Cranbrook City Hall on Wednesday, June 12, to announce that he’ll be seeking another term as mayor.

“I have really enjoyed working for the citizens of Cranbrook and therefore am announcing today that I will be seeking re-election as Mayor of November 15, 2014,” Stetski said in a prepared statement.

“We are making good progress on removing barriers to business, on making Cranbrook more accessible for those with mobility challenges, on working towards a youth-friendly community, on imporving roads and other infrastructure, on supporting the arts and multi-culturalism, in beautifying Cranbrook and in ensuring positive communications between the City and our residents.

“With the blessing of the community I want to see these improvements continue.”

If he is successful in seeking a second term as mayor, terms will likely have been extended to four years instead of the current three, under proposed legislation by the Government of British Columbia.

Stetski said he had a team he’s working with who are providing information, direction, and suggestions. “But I also want to hear from people in terms of what they think the priorities should be for the next for years,” he said. “That will help set the platform for the fall.”

Stetski didn’t know at this point who any potential competition would be, but he did have some advice for anyone seeking to run for mayor, or council for that matter.

“I’m interested in letting people know what I’ve learned about being mayor,” he said. “Number one: If you’re going to run for mayor, you really need to like people. And that’s people who are unhappy as well as happy.

Having a real respect for all of the people in Cranbrook, and that’s one of the things that I’ve tried to focus on is making everybody feel welcome at City Hall, and making everyone feel like they have a place to come and express their concerns.

That doesn’t mean they’re going to get the answer they want, but they need to feel that they’re welcome to come and express their concerns.

Number two: I average between 40 and 55 hours a week. This not a part-time job — don’t even consider running for mayor if you think you’re going to do it on a part-time basis and keep some other businesses going. You will fail at something, whether being mayor or your job.

Thirdly you will not change the world overnight. If you’re thinking ‘I’m going to run for mayor because I’m really angry about something, and that’s going to change,’ well, it takes time to bring change.

You have to learn patience.”

The elections for Mayor and City Councillors are set for November 15, 2014.

Chicken debate

From Page A4 North Vancouver allows for up to eight hens to be kept in a backyard of certain residences, under a bylaw passed in 2012. The New Westminster bylaw is more restrictive than Vancouver’s bylaw and sets limits on how small a property can be to have chickens and how near to a neighbour’s yard it can be. By comparison, Vancouver’s bylaw is di-

rected at an urban hen raiser with much looser restrictions.

The City of Vancouver bylaw sets the limits of at least 0.37 sq. metres of coop floor area per hen and 0.92 sq. metres of roofed outdoor enclosure.

The City of Kimberley is currently looking at the issue as well.

Cranbrook council received Sierra’s letter as information.

Every Thursday, the social media world posts pictures — usually though not necessarily of ourselves — out of the past.

Perhaps Thowback Thursday will spread beyond its digital confines, into the broader cultural consciousness, until Thursday becomes a day for reflection and reminiscence, for regrets, for rejoicing that you made that one particular decision 25 years ago and not the other (or ruing that you made that decision). What the world might have looked like if the Nazis had won the war. What it was like to have bangs. The scoring chance you had in Grade 3, but missed the net. A day to ponder the marvels of the V-8 or Slant-6 engines, or make carburetor jokes. Remember the carburetor? A day to dig out those old marks from high school, and think back to those chemistry labs, ha ha.

And so on, into infinite memory.

Much as Friday is a day to not eat meat, Sunday a day of rest, Thursday may become a day of remembering the past.

Throwback Thursday, Ladies and gentlemen.

You will be aware from reading our Behind the Lens column, courtesy of Cranbrook Photo, that the era of the photographic print and the photo album is passing, to be replaced with a digital version, where the images of our past lives and times are locked into our devices, to be wiped out at the appearance of a virus, the crash of a hard-drive or a sudden power surge. It’s true, it’s happened here at the Townsman, where my hard drive crashed and I lost years worth of wonderful file photos.

The photo album is a great memory prompt, and I agree with “Behind the

The 1971 Maple Leafs. Note the forward in the back row with the maverick nonwhite helmet. A whole season without scoring a goal, but still smiling!

Lens” that the end of the print era would be most unfortunate — the downside of the digital era, which allows us to take photos so quickly and easily.

There were Greek philosophers, back in the day, who decried the advent of the written word, that all that literacy would have a negative effect on true literature — the bardic tradition, whereby illiterate poets would recount vast epics. There were those who viewed mass production of the Bible, via the printing press, as the beginning of the end of a unified Christian Church. There are those who see the digital, internet age as the beginning of the end of literacy — even proper knowledge — where we are bombarded by in-

formation from all sides, so much of it suspect, where instant gratification is the desire. Perhaps this is all true.

In any case, Throwback Thursday is here, and so, for the first time, I am going to post something for it. I’m going to do it here, and I promise I won’t make a habit of it. Today is the day for me to remember that I did not spring fully formed from the head of Zeus. It’s a day to remember that I played organized hockey for four seasons before scoring a goal.

After all, if we remember the past, we won’t be doomed to repeat it, isn’t that so?

Happy Throwback Thursday, and happy reminiscence, everybody.

However, reports illustrate that if this same population was provided with adequate housing and supports, the cost per person would drop substantially. There is a strong community effort underway to address Cranbrook’s homelessness.

Social services is a provincial and federal government responsibility, not the municipality’s. However, there is an impact on our community we can’t ignore.

Sometimes, feelings of helplessness overwhelm me at committee meetings while listening to stories about residents in dire need. Frantically searching my mind, “What can I do? Where do I start?”

What I’ve learned is that City Council can be the catalyst for change by gathering our community members and partners together to move forward on some of the issues listed above.

We truly are stronger when we work together, making Cranbrook a more welcoming and livable community.

I see this in our service clubs and organizations as their many volunteers give us parks, bicycle and walking paths, trees, flowers, shrubs, gardens, and much, much more.

ISIS has sent the occasional suicide-bomber into Kurdistan, but it realises that its main fight is not with the Kurds.

Having taken most of Mosul, its forces are advancing not east into Kurdistan, but south through Tikrit (which fell Wednesday) towards Baghdad.

It will not try to take Baghdad itself, most of whose seven million people are Shia, but by the end of this month it could end up in control of most of western and northern Iraq.

At this point the old Iraq-Syria border would disappear and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham would become a reality, extending 400 km (250 miles) from Mosul and Fallujah in Iraq to Deir-es-Zor, Raqqa and near Aleppo in Syria.

It would be mostly desert and it would control only about five million people and almost no oil, but it would be ruled by an Islamist organisation so extreme that it has even been disowned by al-Qaeda.

The remaining bits of the new regional map would be the western half of Syria, still largely under the control of the Assad regime; the semi-independent state of Kurdistan; and the densely populated, Shia-majority core of Iraq between Baghdad and Basra, hard up against the border with Shia Iran.

None of this is yet inevitable yet, of course. It’s a war, and wars can take unexpected turns. But it’s certainly a possibility.

It’s also a possibility that the war could get wider, as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey all consider whether they need to intervene militarily to protect their own interests.

But that’s unlikely to happen this month. Later is anybody’s guess.

Key City Gymnastics Club wrapping up successful season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s been quite the year for the Key City Gymnastics Club, which has sent many of their athletes to competitions locally and abroad, often with with results to show.

The club sent over 22 athletes to Kamloops for the B.C. provincial championship, which can be an intimidating event with up to 40 gymnasts in each category. However, even though a few Key City athletes were there experiencing the provincial stage for the first time, everyone did really well.

In addition to sending a number of athletes to provincials, the Key City Club was represented in the B.C. Winter Games in Mission, with Taylor Johnstone and a sister duo—Emma and Kayley Lim— competing for the Kootenay zone.

Heading to an even bigger stage was Madysen Sandberg, Jaylee Lim and Catherin Spencer, who qualified and competed in the Western Canadian Championship in Saskatchewan.

Though Key City gymnasts have competed in large competitions far from home, they’ve also headed out to local and regional meets in Kimberley and the Okanagan.

The club congratulates Leanne Perrich, Mackenzie Carlstrom, Sabrina Martini, Taylor Potter, Janae Yoshinaka, Cole Vanhooren and Haley Casselman as they greaduate this year and head off to future endeavors.

The club will be having their year-end show— with the theme of Art in Motion—at Western Financial Place on Saturday, June 14th, starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Key City Gymnastics Club or at the door on the night of the event.

Though the competition season is wrapping up, the club will be offering half- and full-day camps during July and August. There will also be special weekly activities and drop-in classes for children, teens and adults.

For more information on summer programs, visit the Key City Gymnastics Club website at www.keycitygym.ca or call 250-426-2090.

Rangers stave off elimination with 2-1 win bUy LOW SELL HIGH Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

NEW YORK - Even the King at his best needed some help to keep the Kings from lifting the Stanley Cup at Madison Square Garden.

Henrik Lundqvist got that in the form of season-saving plays by Anton Stralman and Derek Stepan on the goal-line and did the rest himself, willing the New York Rangers to a 2-1 victory in Game 4 of the Cup final Wednesday night to stave off elimination and forced a Game 5 back in Los Angeles.

“When you play this game, you have to battle, but then you have to rely on your teammates,” Lundqvist said. “Sometimes you have to rely on some luck. Tonight we had it a couple times.”

Lundqvist finished with 40 saves on 41 shots to extend his streak of home elimination-game wins to eight. Along the way he kept the Kings at bay with the kind of performance that his teammates have come to expect.

“It was pretty self-explanatory out there,” defenceman Dan Girardi said. “He was the King tonight for us, making huge saves when he had to.”

The most memorable saves, though, came from Stralman in the first period and Stepan with just over a minute left in the third.

Midway through the first period with the Rangers up 1-0 on a deflection goal by Benoit Pouliot, Kings defenceman Alec Martinez thought he had scored. Instead, Stralman batted the puck off the goal-line after first lifting Jeff Carter’s stick out of the way.

“I just saw the puck and all I tried to do basically was get the stick out, and obviously the puck as well,” Stralman said. “It’s one of those things, you need a little luck to kind of succeed with.”

Luck, some quick reflexes and enough wherewithal not to knock the puck in while trying to avoid what could’ve been a disastrous goal against for the Rangers.

“A lot of times you start panicking and you end up whacking it in your own net, and we did a good job of being calm when it was sitting there, and getting it back underneath Hank for a whistle,” Rangers defenceman Marc Staal said. “If they get that one, they have that momentum, and we were able to make a stand long enough that they didn’t.”

“When you play this game, you have to battle, but then you have to rely on your teammates. Sometimes you have to rely on some luck. Tonight we had it a couple times.”

Henrik Lundqvist The one-goal lead that stood up thanks to Stralman became two, New York’s fifth of that kind in this Cup final, when Martin St. Louis scored 6:27 into the second.

A bad bounce in a series full of them for the Rangers led to Kings captain Dustin Brown scoring just two minutes 19 seconds later. The knob of Girardi’s stick appeared to break, springing Brown for the breakaway goal at 8:46.

After the Rangers blew two-goal leads in each of Games 1 and 2, Lundqvist couldn’t help but think, “Here we go again.”

From that point on, the Rangers just tried to hang on. They were outshot 27-6 from the point St. Louis scored to make it 2-0 until the clock hit zeros at the end of the third.

CFL, players to hold ratification votes on new deal this week C anadian Press

TORONTO - The CFL and its players will conduct their ratification votes on a new labour deal later this week.

Independent league sources requesting anonymity say the players will vote Thursday while the CFL’s board of governors will do so Friday.

The CFL and CFL Players’ Association agreed to a five-year contract Saturday. However, many players have spoken out against the new deal which calls for

a $5-million salary cap, well below the CFLPA’s opening demand of $6.24 million.

The CFL also got a major concession from the union on the gross revenue formula that would trigger the renegotiation of the cap or entire collective agreement.

The players, who initially wanted the CBA to include revenue sharing, had called for the cap or entire agreement to be renegotiated if league revenues increased by more than

$18 million - excluding the Grey Cup - in the third year of the deal.

The CFL wanted that figure to be $27 million and the union ultimately agreed.

The union did get elimination of the option year on CFL contracts, excluding rookies. Also, the players’ practice day for the most part remains at 4.5 hours daily but can be increased to a maximum of six hours, and teams will hold just one padded practice a week during the season.

US Open course looking rather British Doug Ferguson Associated Press

PINEHURST, N.C. - The Open starts Thursday, and for anyone who gets a quick look at Pinehurst No. 2 is sure to ask one question.

Which Open?

The brown edges of fairways, the sandy areas and rugged nature of the restoration make it look like a British Open. What likely will make this feel

like a U.S. Open is the sheer difficulty.

The U.S. Open is known as the toughest test in golf, and most players believe it will live up to its reputation.

In two previous Opens at Pinehurst, the winner did not finish under par.

USGA executive director Mike Davis says all he wants is a stern test.

It has been more than 50 years since three straight U.S. Open champions finished over par.

play on their heels, keep managing the puck, let’s make plays,” relieved coach Alain Vigneault said. “They came at us real hard. Fortunately we were able to stand tall, bend not break. When we did bend a little bit more, our goaltender made some big saves.”

Then Stepan saved the hockey season with 1:11 left in the third. Again Martinez put the puck on net for a scoring chance that probably should have gone in, and after Tanner Pearson deflected it under Lundqvist it rolled slowly through the crease until it stopped centimetres from the line.

It was the snow that stopped the puck there. And while Vigneault joked, “Thank God for soft ice now and then,” Lundqvist had an explanation for what felt like a miracle on 33rd Street.

“It’s probably the product of moving a lot,” said Lundqvist, who made 15 third-period saves while New York managed just one shot. “I stay deep in the net, so there’s a lot of snow there.”

Lundqvist was yelling at Wes McCauley to blow his whistle, but the referee who’s considered one of, if not the best, in the NHL had perfect positioning and saw the puck the entire time.

“Then I realized it was behind me for a couple seconds,” Lundqvist said. “I actually apologized. But he was cool about it.”

Stepan was even cooler under that pressure. Knowing full well he couldn’t cover the puck with his hand, lest a penalty shot be awarded, the Rangers centre used his glove to sweep it under Lundqvist just as Stralman did earlier with his stick.

“Those are the big plays we need at certain moments to keep the momentum or shift the momentum,” Stepan said. “Obviously, I just don’t want it to go in the net. I was just trying to do whatever I can to stop it.”

Heartfelt Thanks...

to all the folks who helped Gordon Burns out with his medical emergency and motor vehicle accident May 14 in Mayook. I hesitate to name people as I was not aware of all who helped at the accident scene but these are the people I am aware of. I apologize to those I miss. Dev Powell, Jason Barry, Dr. Alan Barnard, Larry Mackenzie, BC Ambulance Attendants, Mike & Sherry, Greg, Cranbrook SAR, RCMP - Cst. Sheri Arkwright, Cranbrook District Hospital - ER Doctors Wik, Thorne, Andreas, Ron, ER Nurses Melissa, Connie and others and all the technical support staff. It is a busy place and I know I missed some Doctors and Nurses who gave such excellent care. Van Horne Towing and the local ICBC office were also extremely helpful. Until a person is in the thick of it, you do not realize how lucky we are to have such an efficient first response system and modern facility such as the Cranbrook and District Hospital. It also brings home the value of small community living reflected in all my neighbours who helped at the scene and offers of help since.

Thanks so much to all!

Gord

Men’s Health In honour of Father’s Day coming up in June I would like to offer a few tips on keeping the important men in your life healthy. One of the most common ailments affecting men today is prostate cancer so I will provide some simple ideas that can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer and appropriate screening measures. Approximately one in every six men will develop invasive prostate cancer in their lifetime. Typically, this cancer is considered slow growing but it becomes more aggressive around 15 years into its progression and proper monitoring is crucial.

Diet and lifestyle can play a major role in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Foods that can increase risk include; red meat, trans-fats, high omega-6 intake, processed meats, sugar, refined grains and soft drinks. A diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other whole foods that contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can help significantly lower the risk of developing prostate cancer. Specifically, tomatoes contain a compound known as lycopene which has been shown to have a protective effect against prostate cancer. Two key risk factors involved with cancer in general are shift work which alters the levels of melatonin in the body leading to mutations in cells that can cause cancer and smoking tobacco which contains a variety of heavy metals and other mutation causing toxins.

Screening is important in order to catch the cancer early and begin treatment as soon as possible. The most common test used for screening is Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) which has become quite controversial in the last few years. The specifics of PSA are too in depth for this short article, however it is important when using this test to not only look at the level which can fluctuate throughout the day, but also to take into consideration individual changes known as velocity of change and the actual level of risk involved with each of the numbers.

If PSA and other screening tests indicate the need for further assessment then biopsy is performed in order to make the diagnosis.

Treatments for prostate cancer include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy as well as many Naturopathic options that are available with some of the most common being; intravenous (IV) Vitamin C, EGCG, Curcumin, Mistletoe and Omega-3. Cancer can be a frightening and life altering diagnosis, but there are alternatives to help improve quality of life and support patients through the side effects involved with conventional treatment as well as directly influencing the progression of the cancer through natural treatments.

San Francisco will vote on $15 minimum wage

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco voters will decide in November whether to raise the city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2018.

The mayor, city supervisors and business and labour leaders announced on Tuesday that they had reached a deal on a ballot measure for the increase.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am. San Francisco is yet again setting the bar on workers’ rights,” said Supervisor Jane Kim, who helped broker the deal. “All San Francisco employers will be paying $15 an hour by 2018. There will be no tip credit, no health care credit.

These are pure wages workers will be bringing home to their families.”

Labour activists who were pursuing their own $15 minimum wage ballot measure will now drop their effort, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

They wanted the increase to take effect one year earlier, in 2017.

The city’s current minimum wage is $10.74 an hour.

Under the ballot measure that will go before voters, it would increase to $12.25 next May, then to $13 in July 2016 and $1 each year after that until it reaches $15 in 2018.

At $15 an hour, the annual pay for a fulltime minimum-wage worker would be $31,000.

Officials in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Richmond and Seattle, Washington, have

voted for a $15-an-hour minimum wage.

Small businesses in Seattle have seven years before the wage hike kicks in.

Gwyneth Borden, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, told the Chronicle that restaurant owners wanted an exemption for workers who receive tips. She also said employers should get credit for what they spend on workers’ health care.

“We are a very different type of industry.

Hospitality is the backbone of the city and a very labour-intensive endeavour,” Borden said.

“For businesses with tight margins and low prices, it’s going to be hard.”

Canadian fossil finds give key details about primitive fish ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — New fossils are providing critical details about one of the earliest known fishes, and researchers say that helps show how jaws evolved in animals that have backbones.

The fish is called

Metaspriggina.

Researchers say it grew about 2 inches (5 centimetres) long and lived widely in North America some 515 million to 500 million years ago.

The fish had no jaws.

But Jean-Bernard Caron of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toron-

to, one of the study authors, said structures near the gills show what the precursor to jaws looked like.

A new description of the fish, based on fossils found mostly in British Columbia, was released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

Japan and Australia jointly developing new submarine ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — Japan and Australia agreed Wednesday to jointly develop stealth submarine technology, as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pushes his country toward a more assertive global military role.

The submarine technology was a top item at talks among the nations’ foreign and defence ministers in Tokyo and was included in an agreement to step up co-operation in defence equipment and technology.

Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera told a joint news conference after the talks that the ministers agreed to

begin the research next year. It will focus on technology that is applicable to any vessel including submarines, he said, but declined to give further details.

“I have high expectations for successful results,” he said. Onodera said the research and possible technology transfer would not violate Japan’s pacifist constitution.

Onodera and Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida were joined by their Australian counterparts, Julie Bishop and David Johnston, at Wednesday’s meeting. The four also agreed to strengthen military ties.

The research aims

to develop faster submarines with reduced water resistance and quieter propellers, Japanese defence officials said earlier this week.

But the joint research will not necessarily lead to the sale of Japanese submarines to Australia, which is exploring purchasing submarines from Germany and France.

The research, however, widens the possibility of Japan supplying military technology overseas. The Abe government in April eased Japan’s self-imposed limits on military exports, paving the way for its largely domestic defence industry to go global.

NASA has postponed a test which would have sent the above pictured vessel into the Earth’s atmosphere.

NASA postpones test of Mars ‘flying saucer’ ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The U.S. space agency has postponed its plan to send a “flying saucer” into Earth’s atmosphere to test technology that could be used to land on Mars.

NASA spokeswoman

Shannon Ridinger says weather conditions caused Wednesday’s launch of the saucer-shaped vehicle to be delayed.

The next potential launch date is June 14.

NASA has depended on the same parachute

design to slow spacecraft after they enter the Martian atmosphere.

But it needs a larger and stronger parachute if it wants to land heavier objects and astronauts.

After being launched

via balloon from Hawaii, the new vehicle will ignite its rocket engine and climb to 34 miles (54 kilometres).

It will slow itself down from supersonic speeds and unfurl a parachute for a water landing.

Man rescued after attempt to sea kayak to Hawaii ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Coast Guard says a man is lucky to be alive after he was rescued 11 days into an attempted kayak voyage from California to Hawaii.

A helicopter spotted the 57-year-old man, who had turned back to California, in the Pacific on Tuesday about 60 miles southwest of

Santa Barbara’s Point Conception after he sent a distress call indicating equipment failure, the Coast Guard said in a statement.

The helicopter directed a Coast Guard cutter crew to the man, who was found in good health, the statement said. His name was not released.

A friend of the man said he had left Monte-

rey on May 30 attempting to make the voyage of nearly 2,400 miles to Honolulu in a kayak with a solar panel that charged all his electronic equipment.

The solar panel malfunctioned Saturday, and the man turned back. He sent out the distress call when he couldn’t find his way.

The Coast Guard urged would-be mari-

ners to file a float plan before taking long trips.

“A voyage from California to Hawaii is a long and treacherous journey for any vessel and exponentially more dangerous for a kayaker,” Petty Officer 2nd Class Timothy Hall said in the statement.

“His preparedness allowed him to call for help, but he is very lucky to be alive.”

Doctors close to reaching injured German cave explorer ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN — Germany’s mountain rescue service says doctors are close to reaching an injured explorer stuck deep inside an Alpine cave on the Austrian border.

Researcher Johann

Westhauser was injured in a rock fall Sunday 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) underground, inside the Riesending cave system near Berchtesgaden.

Rescue official Robert Nagel said Wednesday that two doctors are on their way to the site

of the accident, some 6,000 metres from the entrance.

He says they could reach Westhauser within hours and will then assess how the 52-yearold German can be brought to the surface.

Nagel says the tricky

terrain within its vertical shafts and narrow passages means it will take about six days to bring Westhauser out.

Westhauser had been spelunking with two colleagues. A team of experts reached him on Monday.

(Get your money’s worth - with coverage both in newspaper AND online!)

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel that a partner is overly assertive at present. Understand that you are more than capable of handling this person’s energy right now. You need to be more aware of how much you are spending. Fatigue could mark an interaction. Tonight: Too much to juggle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will have the best intentions, but somehow you’ll get stuck in a difficult or awkward interaction. A discussion about money could get out of hand, and you might want to drown your sorrows in some wild spending. Say “no.” Tonight: Try to keep a lid on a volatile situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be out of control, swinging from one wild situation to another. Today’s Full Moon might bring chaos into a relationship. Know when enough is enough. You could be causing yourself a problem if you continue with a heated dis-

cussion. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself, and do what you must. Your emotions might make you feel as if you can’t reach a resolution. If you tap into your logical side, others will think that you make sense; however, they still might head in a different direction. Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your imagination takes a different stance on what is being discussed. You could have difficulty following through on a key task because your mind is elsewhere.

A sticky situation involving your personal life might not be resolved easily. Tonight: Play the night away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will need to anchor in and work through a problem involving a misunderstanding. Be aware that others are likely to overreact. A child or new friend could express his or her caring.

Do not push someone too hard.

Tonight: Discuss a potential trip with a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Do not put off a call for too long.

Make it happen today; otherwise, the results won’t be nearly as good. You’ll have a lot of energy; use it to make a situation work better for you. You could be surprised by what a partner does. Listen to news more openly. Tonight: Visit with a pal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. Ask questions. Someone is likely to respond in kind and give you an explanation. You’ll see that you can mend a fence, but you might wonder whether you really want to. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will feel as if you are in your element and able to achieve much more of what you want.

Your energy is high as is your charisma. You can’t be stopped once you get going. You naturally dominate anything you decide to do. Tonight: Extend an invitation to a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know what is happening behind the scenes. You might choose to

share more than you normally do. Expect the unexpected, and you will not be thrown off-kilter.

If you are single, someone you meet today could become a lot more to you. Tonight: Go with the flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Zero in on priorities during a meeting. You’ll find that you are juggling two different situations. Realize that one or both situations could become explosive. Know what you want from each one. You might be put in a position of making a fast decision. Tonight: Ever playful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be more forthright than you have been in a while, especially as you might be dealing with someone’s overly dominant attitude. Touch base with someone you care a lot about, and he or she will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Out late.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve known “Ted” all my life.

About 10 years ago, I loaned him $1,000. He never repaid it, and I could really use that money now. Ted lives in a different city, and when I phone him, he refuses to discuss it.

In the past, I had given Ted money outright, but this was absolutely a loan. I made sure he knew that, but I didn’t ask for a promissory note or any interest. If I hire a lawyer to sue him for the loan, I’d lose half the money paying the lawyer.

Ted’s mother once warned me not to loan money to friends. What can I do? -- Should Have Listened Dear Should: You could try to retrieve the money by suing Ted in small-claims court.

You generally don’t need an attorney to do this, but you are likely to lose the friendship permanently. You might want to warn Ted in advance that this is your intent if he isn’t willing to discuss the loan and reach an agreement.

Dear Annie: You get lots of letters from husbands or wives who are unhappy and asking, “What went wrong?” Maybe the trouble is that while they were planning a wedding they forgot to plan a marriage.

I performed my first marriage ceremony 60 years ago and have done several hundred since. Some were in large churches with fancy flowers, string quartets and an exquisite reception. Some were in my living room with only the bride and groom in their Sunday clothes.

There is quite a difference between a wedding and a marriage. A wedding is the civil and/or religious ceremony that ends in the signing of a certificate making the whole thing legal. A marriage is a covenant between two people who promise to love, honor and cherish each other.

My advice to any couple planning the kind of wedding they will have is to first ask what kind of marriage they will have. -- Retired Methodist Minister in Texas Dear Minister: It’s true that some couples are so focused on the trappings of a wedding that they don’t give enough thought to what comes after. And what comes after is meant to last a very long time.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “Upset Mom in USA” made me angry. She said her son was accused of stealing a ring from his cousin when he briefly stayed at his aunt’s house.

This son is a financially secure 32-year-old businessman, not a teenage boy bicycling around Europe. The missing ring is between him and his cousin. In addition to the possibility that the niece simply misplaced the ring, it could also be a setup.

The aunt called her nephew, not his mother. Mom has no place in this contretemps, yet you advised her to speak to her son when he returns, and even suggested she offer to split the cost of the ring. Why should Mom offer anything if her son is innocent? If she in any way admits that her son is at fault, it will poison the relationship between her and her son. And if he did steal the ring, he should pay the full cost. Either way, it is not Mom’s place to fix it, and you should have said so.

-- Annoyed at You Dear Annoyed: Our concern, actually, was not the son or the ring. It was the relationship between the sisters. You are absolutely right that the son is responsible for working this out, and we should have said so. But we also know how difficult it is for a parent to stand by and watch a family situation deteriorate over such accusations. Even though the issue is between the cousins, we suspect Mom fears losing the affection of her sister, and that is where our advice was directed.

(Although the idea that this might be a setup did not occur to us. Heavens.)
