The ski season wraps C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Warm weather caused by an El Niño system is what weather forecasters say created a difficult ski season in Western Canada. Much of the precipitation that did fall was rain rather than snow and a handful of resorts in BC and Alberta even closed early.

Kimberley Alpine Resort, with the assistance of a couple of very timely snowfalls, made the whole season and will close this weekend as scheduled, after the annual Spring Splash celebration. (more on the Splash this week in the Bulletin) Matt Mosteller, VP of Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, KAR’s parent

company, says there’s not much a ski resort company can do with conditions like these, except roll with it.

“Mother Nature rules,” he said.

“This season? Well chalk this up to incredible guests and a skiing and riding community who made the most of mountain time and really shared a wonderful spirit and mighty dose of cheer!”

KAR’s team deserves kudos as well, Mosteller says.

“The mountain operations team did an amazing job! What about the groomers?

Well done!

“And again big thanks to our guests and our passholders who came out and made the best of it!”

Studio

Kimberley will have its own television studio very shortly, perhaps within a month.

Kootenay Enterprises Limited, the firm that brought TV to this city, announced today that they have taken over the basement of the new Credit Union building and are creating a modern studio for television broadcasting.

Just recently, Kimberley saw its first television camera when the Dage unit was set up in the window of a downtown store and passers-by were able to watch themselves. Now the unit will be put into operation in completely modern studios.

Technical work in connection with the new studios is being carried out by Jim Gillespie and Tom Birrell, of the television company.

Return Card Is Arranged

Following the successful boxing card held here last Friday evening, a return card has been arranged for next Thursday, March 29, when the Kimberley scrappers will appear in the Cranbrook High School.

Maurice Lemay will be rematched with Mike Moore, who won a close decision here.

Many thought Lemay

should have had the call and the rematch should prove a crowd pleaser. It will be a fourround event.

The winner of this event will meet Dave Mitchell of Fernie for the Kootenay title at 147 pounds.

Paul Lemay will be looking for revenge from Colvin McBurney who took the decision last Friday after three hectic rounds. Melvin Hockley will tangle with Pete McMahon. Both these boys won the award for the best left hand among junior boxers.

At 172 pounds, Rudy Kocevar will take on Bob Campbell and this should be a good bout.

Other Kimberley boxers taking part are Allan Fabro, who meets Tony Smith and Colin Fabro who faces a Fernie boxer. It will be the first time the Fabro twins have fought outside their own exhibitions.

Kenny Collins will renew his struggle with Jack Fisher and Hank Vogelaar, Mel Forsythe and Sid Jurik will also see action against opponents yet to be named.

Promoter Herb Stanton hopes a strong contingent of Kimberley boxing fans will make the trip to Cranbrook to cheer the boys along.

More than $5,000 raised for three charities For the Townsman

Kimberley resident Michael Meinig celebrated his 50th birthday by setting a personal challenge: he would climb three mountains in three days for three charities.

Concluding a few dedicated months of physical training and abstaining from ice cream, the 343 (three for three) Challenge took place March 20, 21, and 22. Meinig climbed Mount Lady MacDonald in support of the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation’s Homeless Shelter Project, the East End of Rundle in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation, and Ha Ling Peak to raise funds for the Good Samaritan Society. All three mountains are located near Canmore, Alberta. The total elevation climbed was just under 3,000 meters.

“The climbs went smooth – no problems at all, just a couple serene moments of grati-

New coal mine proposed in Sparwood Sar ah Kucharski The Free Press

A new coal-mining project in its preliminary stages has been presented to Elk Valley council.

Located midway between the established Elkview and Line Creek Teck mines, the Crown Mountain Coking Coal project will be the first to be established by junior resource company NWP Coal Canada Limited in the Elk Valley.

According to NWP Chairman and CEO Art Palm, the open pit mine is expected to produce 1.7 million tonnes of coal per year over a 16-year lifespan.

Palm stressed that the project was in its primary stages.

“I think it’s important to understand that we’re very early in the phase and we have a lot of work to do still,” said Palm,

adding, “We’re in the pre-application portion of the environmental assessment phase.”

It is expected that this portion of the assessment will be conducted for at least a year.

Palm will present an overview of the project to the District of Sparwood’s council on Monday, March 30 at the Committee of the Whole Meeting — having already conducted similar talks with the City of Fernie, District of Elkford and the Crowsnest Pass.

“We’re going to talk about the project, the amount of coal that’s there, the quality of the coal, the general location and I’m going to review all the environmental parameters that we have addressed to date,” said Palm ahead of the presentation. “I’ll also show the environmental study area

and go over some of the environmental work we’ve done in terms of groundwater, fisheries and wildlife.”

Palm said that though there is still much work to do, ideally construction for the project would move forward in 2016-17, with production hoped for 2017-18.

The current capital budget is slated for $336 million, though revisions can be expected following results from the environmental assessment, definitive feasibility studies and other design factors.

He noted, “But there’s so much left to do with permitting so it’s really hard to pinpoint a date.”

Community input in the form of open houses can be expected to open up during the summertime, according to Palm.

NWP also owns four other projects in the Peace River area.

Free transit applications for low income residents available April 1 For the Townsman

Low income City of Cranbrook residents can apply for a free transit pass beginning on April 1, following approval of the program by Council at their regular meeting of March 9, 2015.

The initiative will run as an additional benefit to the current Leisure Access program first approved by Council in February 2010, which enabled low income residents the opportunity to access public swims at the aquatic centre at a 75% reduced rate to help build a healthier more active community.

“We heard from the com-

munity that there are a number of less fortunate citizens who cannot afford transportation,” says Mayor Lee Pratt. “This adds to missed opportunities and some added hardships for them. We are pleased to offer this service to alleviate some of this and give them access to services and programs they would like to participate in.”

Those interested in the program can apply through one of the five partner agencies who are responsible for adjudicating the applications: the Salvation Army, Community Connections Society, Interior Health Mental Health Programs, Ministry of Children

and Family Development and the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation.

Approved candidates will receive the benefits for one year and then would be required to reapply. Individuals, who are already qualified, do not have to re-apply until their current eligibility term expires. To add the transit access, simply visit the staff at Leisure Services and your current eligibility period will be amended to include transit access.

“Thank you to the City of Cranbrook for offering this great program to our citizens,” says Captain Kirk Green of the Cranbrook Salvation Army.

“Transportation has been a huge barrier for people trying to access services in our community and for families and folks wanting to participate in our community.”

Information on the program, including eligibility criteria, can be found at each of the partner agencies, Leisure Services (located at Western Financial Place, by visiting www.cranbrook.ca and clicking on ‘Leisure Access Card’ under City of Cranbrook Links on the homepage, or by calling Leisure Services staff at (250) 489-0220 (Monday to Friday).

Treaty trouble has deep roots

W

hy did the B.C. government suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission?

The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest.

Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad.

Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making.

Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong.

If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union. Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013.

Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone

at the news of Abbott’s demise. While the two were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leaving the federal-provincial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a shambles.

Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“There have been some results, but four treaties in BC VIEWS 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark Tom said. “We have to be able to Fletcher move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.”

That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C. The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law.

It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt.

The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands.

I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too.

(McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.)

Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.”

Her advice may have been heard after all.

The College of the Rockies (COTR) men’s Avalanche volleyball team will have a new man calling the shots when PACWEST play resumes this fall.

Monday, COTR announced head coach Steve Kamps was stepping down after 15 seasons guiding the men’s volleyball program. Assistant coach John Swanson will move into the head-coaching position as successor to Kamps.

“We have been very fortunate to have had

someone of Steve’s caliber leading the team for the past 15 seasons,” said Cori Andrichuk, manager of campus life and athletics, in a press release. “We believe John can make a seamless transition from assistant to head coach.”

Under Kamps, the Avs qualified for the PACWEST championships in 13 of 15 season.

Kamps was also named PACWEST Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2002, as well as CCAA Coach of the Year in 2002.

“The program will be

in very good hands with John taking over as head coach,” Kamps said in a press release. “He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the game and relates well to the athletes.”

“I am very excited for the opportunity to not only teach elite volleyball players but to also work to enhance their entire collegiate experience,” Swanson said in a press release. “It is my goal to continue Steve’s tradition of producing well-rounded individuals.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use the first half of the day for any matter that needs a creative solution. By the second half of the day, you will be in the mood to complete a project that has been on the back burner. Your energy should be focused on your long-term financial needs.

Tonight: Be more fun-loving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You suddenly might have an energy boost. Choose how you want to direct this vitality. Perhaps you’ll want to play with a child or loved one. Know that this drive isn’t likely to go away for a while. Express your feelings in such a way that they can be heard. Tonight: As you like it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to a key person in your life in the morning. Later on, you could be working on a project where you won’t want to be bothered. Don’t swallow your anger; instead, consider expressing your feelings. Tonight: Settle in for a cozy evening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Speak your mind. If you encounter a financial snafu, don’t hesitate to backtrack and see where it has come from. Conversations in the afternoon might be filled with a lot of information. A discussion will allow you to see the other side of an issue.

Tonight: Meet up with a pal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone who has been laidback is likely to do a sudden reversal. You might be dealing with someone you barely recognize, as he or she could be unusually upset. Getting communication flowing could be nearly impossible at the moment. Tonight: Vanish.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be out of sorts in the morning, but by midafternoon, you’ll feel more like your old self. A discussion with a partner or close associate will flow more easily. A one-on-one talk will bring results that please you.

Tonight: Be your friendly self.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A last-minute detail could slow you down. A talk on an individ-

ual level is likely to ease some of the tension. You might note how unpredictable an associate has been and continues to be.

You can count on some surprises from this person! Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can continue to take the lead, if you so desire. An afternoon meeting will bring results that make you feel as though the effort was worth it. A loved one might let you know that it is time to spend some quality time together. Tonight: Where your friends are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be letting go as much as you can. You are likely to encounter an obstacle in the afternoon with someone you must answer to. You could find this person to be fussy and difficult at the present moment. Do what you must. Tonight: In the limelight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be tired of pushing so hard to achieve the results you want. A partner has been very supportive, yet you might

decide to go on your own with a particular idea. You could be wondering what is going on in someone else’s mind. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You deal well with others.

You’ll be able to open up to the intricacies of someone else’s thought process. Your listening skills seem to be improving as well, as you’re able to read between the lines. Avoid untested assumptions. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Work on a project in the morning, and you’ll be noticed in the afternoon. You might find that you are surrounded by people you never dreamt you would be in the same room with.

Toss yourself in the middle of a conversation. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for three years and lived together for 15 years before that. Sex has always been difficult. Last week, I found him masturbating outside in the backyard.

What should I do? Should I consult a doctor? My husband refuses to talk about it at all. -- I Need Help Dear Need: If sex has been an issue for the past 18 years, there is more going on. Your letter doesn’t provide many details. Is he masturbating because you aren’t interested in sex? In that case, please talk to your doctor and see what can be done. Does he prefer self-gratification to being with you? That could indicate that he has an idealized version of the female body due to excessive pornography viewing. Or he could be gay and still in the closet. Or he might have issues being physically close. For this, counseling could be useful, but only if your husband is willing to seek help, and apparently, he is not.

As for masturbating in the backyard, well, that holds entirely different possibilities. Is he an exhibitionist? Was he hoping someone would see him? That could get him arrested.

Your choice is to decide how important this is to you compared to the more positive things your husband brings to the marriage. Can you accept it and still have a happy marriage? Does it merit a divorce? Sometimes, counseling for the person most affected (you) can be helpful in working through a problem and coming to a decision. Please consider it.

Dear Annie: I had a strong reaction to the letter from “Missing It,” whose husband had a prostatectomy. I am a prostate cancer survivor who had a prostatectomy, and my experience has been nothing like her husband’s. No one who is facing prostate cancer should take her husband’s story as typical.

Did her husband faithfully do his physical therapy exercises to prevent incontinence? I did, at least three times a day. I’ve had complete control for years. I worked with my urologist on sexual activity, and we experimented with various therapies because there are many options. I had to do my part, but my sex life is now as satisfactory as it was prior to the surgery.

To other men with a prostate cancer diagnosis who choose the prostatectomy route, if you do your part, there is every reason to hope for complete recovery and a fully normal and satisfying life. -- Not Missing Anything Dear Not Missing: Thank you for pointing out that there are individual responses to prostate surgery, and a great deal depends upon how dedicated one is to doing the necessary exercises and therapies. There are also other options besides prostatectomy.

For all men facing this, it is important to find a physician who knows what treatments are available and can discuss them clearly, along with the potential outcomes. And if the doctor isn’t doing that, get a second opinion or find another doctor. This is your future. You need to be your own best advocate.

Guy H. Stone September 4, 1944 March 16, 2015 Guy was the first son born to Gesine and Ernie Stone in Kimberley, BC. During 1958 the family moved to Cranbrook, where they purchased and ran Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motel prior to acquiring land and starting the Mount Baker Arabian Ranch. Guy and his brother raised, trained and showed Arabian horses together. Guy graduated from Mount Baker Secondary School in 1963. He attended Grade 13 in Cranbrook prior to moving to the U.S. to attend college and later university in Idaho and Washington.

Guy spend the summer of 1966 in California with his brother, where they trained and received their certificates as Ferriers. Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ambition was to be a Veterinarian, but limited foreign student entry in that specific program resulted in him graduating with a Degree in Pharmacy from Washington Stage University in 1975, working his whole career in Washington state. Guy retired, moving to Arizona in 2005. His leisure time was spent, as much as possible, outdoors. He loved camping, snowmobiling, boating, country and 50/60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, cutting firewood, his Arabians, and pampering his Westies.

A memorial service was held March 20 in Cave Creek, Arizona. He is survived by his wife Nora, and will be deeply missed by brother Darrel and wife Diane.
