Justice officials to stage mock trial TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Is Karen Goodman guilty of murder?

That is the question that the public will get to decide during a public awareness presentation of a staged criminal jury trial on Tuesday April 14, at 7 p.m.

Hosted by the Key City Theatre, the actors will be volunteers from the court registry staff, a couple of real sheriffs and local lawyers who will play the parts of judge, crown council, defence and witnesses.

With Mr. Justice Rico Strahl presiding, the scenario is as follows: A man — John Goodman — was found murdered outside his house from a gunshot wound to the head. A block away, a pistol was found that had fingerprints that were matched to his wife, Karen Goodman.

On the husband’s cell phone was a message from his wife that reads ‘I’ll kill you, you jerk.’

Legion set to mark VE Day TR E VO R C R AWL EY

The Cranbrook Legion is urging the public to come out and honour veterans as the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War approaches in May. Known as VE Day, the war ended on May 8th, 1945 after Germany surrendered to the Al-

lies following a five-year period of global conflict.

Since VE Day falls on Friday, May 8th, this year, the Cranbrook Legion will be organizing an event for Saturday morning to mark the occasion.

RCMP describe arrest of murder suspects FOR THE TOWNSMAN

On April 4, 2015, Cranbrook RCMP officers arrested two murder suspects in relation to a missing persons investigation which originated in Alberta.

After receiving information that the two suspects may be traveling through Cranbrook, local officers spotted the vehicle at approximately 10 p.m.

Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk said that through a strategic and well-executed plan, the suspect vehicle was stopped and both subjects were taken into custody without incident. Their vehicle was seized and later subject to a forensic examination in Cranbrook.

“The arrest involved officers from Cranbrook detachment,

the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit as well as the Cranbrook Police Dog Service,” said Dubnyk.

“The arrest was very well planned and carried out ensuring the safety of the police officers, the general public and also the two subjects taken into custody”.

Arrested were Cody Ken-

neth Bauer, 24, of Calgary, Alberta and Kristopher Goerzen, 22, of Brooks, Alberta. Following the arrest, both Bauer and Goerzen were transported back to Calgary where they have since been charged with first degree murder in the disappearance of Nick Lush.

in summer Tamblyn will be guiding (and performing) on a Voyageur canoe trip on Lake Superior, before he returns to teaching at Carleton in the fall.

Tamblyn’s latest album “Walking in the Footsteps” is a concept album of sorts, dealing with the Group of Seven; 15 songs about painters and paintings described

by Penguin Eggs magazine (Canada’s premier folk-music publication) as: “...damn good; put it on and let it wash over you.” Hard to argue with that.

“My only advice to would-be professional s i n g e r- s o n g w r i t e r s would be to establish a good foundation for your songwriting skills; later on there’ll be many forces in the music world that can disrupt the very thing that brought you to it. When the business of music starts to take precedence, it’s hard to find the time to write. Take yourself seriously...and don’t take your health for granted.”

MLAs spar over Greenhills Mine incident C AROLYN GRANT

Last Friday, April 5, an explosion at the Greenhills Mine near Elkford sent three people to hospital for treatment of third-degree burns and smoke inhalation.

Now the provincial NDP, led by MLA Norm Macdonald, Mines critic, is questioning the BC Liberal government’s commitment to mine worker safety.

“Mine workers should be able to go to work and not get hurt,” said Macdonald. “So when the Chief Inspector of Mines commented on this latest explosion saying it is ‘not uncommon’ to have these explosions, that raises serious concerns about this

government’s commitment to mine safety.”

Mines Inspector Al Hoffman made the comments to Global News, which reported, “Hoffman said flash fires like the one in the Greenhills incident were a part of most coal mining operations.

“It’s not uncommon to have small operational-type explosions or what they call ‘pops’ at one of these dryer plants,” he said.

“They’ll want to determine why there was coal dust in the air and what ignited it.”

“He said it could take several days or weeks to answer that.

“The good thing is, luckily no one was killed,” he said.”

“We’re always concerned when workers are injured and we’ll be working very hard to determine what the causes of the incident were.”

Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett says the reporter did not include all Hoffman said.

“Chief Inspector Hoffman is probably the most safety conscious person I have ever known,” Bennett said. “He was misquoted. The reporter left out some of what was stated. Al actually said, “it is not uncommon for small pops to occur within the dryer system, the system is designed to handle these occurrences and minimise them. It is very unusual to have to have a flash explosion

outside of the system.”

Macdonald points out that this is not the first incident at Greenhills, citing a 2011 burning injury and a 2010 incident in which four workers suffered smoke inhalation injuries at the same mine.

“What has the Liberal government done since the previous explosion? Why was the dust in the air not being controlled? Why was the safety of the workers not made a top priority?” asked Macdonald.

“The NDP are desperate to try to manufacture an issue and are hoping the public will believe the BC Liberal government doesn’t care about worker safety,” Bennett said. “It is a silly argument but certainly consistent with the outlandish statements made by Norm Macdonald in recent years.”

Shane Simpson, New Democrat spokesperson on labour, drew connections to the tragic loss of lives in the Lakeland sawmill explosion, saying that the undermining of workplace safety enforcement and regulation that has taken place under the Liberal government is unaccept-

able and needs to change.

“The person in charge of regulations should not accept that this is normal,” said Simpson. “We should have zero tolerance for working conditions that could cause harm to workers.”

“We currently have more inspectors and inspections than in the last 15 years at least,” Bennett said. “And we have changed no regulations around this part of coal mining.

“Mining is still the safest heavy industry in Canada, thanks to the workers and the companies and their collective commitment to safety.”

Legion to mark V-E Day Saturday, May 9 Continued from page 1 “We also have to get the streets barricaded off for the parade, so it’s better to do it on the Saturday morning than it will be on the Friday afternoon,” said Larry Miller, with the Cranbrook Legion.

Like with the Remembrance Day ceremony, there will be a parade leading from the East Kootenay Community Credit Union down to Rotary Park and the Cenotaph starting at 10:15 a.m.

Bud Abbott will be included in the parade, which will also feature the Kimberley Pipe Band, the Kimberley Community Band and the Cranbrook Girls Bugle Band, which will be the honorary band as the very same organization participated in the VE ceremony back in 1945.

Hans Dekkers will be

a keynote speaker at the ceremony, who will speak about life in the Netherlands during the Second World War. Miller was 11 years old when the VE Day was declared and a ceremony was held in Cranbrook as people celebrated the end of the war and honoured the veterans.

In the archives of the Daily Townsman, there was an article in the paper’s predecessor—the Cranbrook Courier— describing the event.

“At 2:30 o’clock, Monday afternoon, a parade assembled at the C.P.R. Depot grounds, including the following organizations: City Legion Band, Civic officials, members of the Canadian Legion Girls’ Drum and Bugle Band, High School Cadets, army and air force, followed by children of

the Central School.

“Proceeding down Baker street, the parade made its way to the Cenotaph where there was a brief but impressive ceremony in tribute to the memory of those who have given their lives in the struggle. The service included prayers led by Captain the Rev. Alan Gardiner in the uniform of the Canadian Chaplain Service, depositing of wreaths and sounding of the Last Post by members of the bugle band.”

That ceremony was attended by Miller himself.

“I was there when this happened, and I was over in that park the day when that news came out, May 8th, 70 years ago,” said Miller.

Following the ceremony will be a public barbecue at the Legion.

RCMP describe suspects’ arrest in Cranbrook Continued from page 1 The subsequent investigation carried out in Cranbrook included a forensic examination of the suspect vehicle that was seized at the time of the arrest.

This involved officers from the Cranbrook General Investigation Section and Cranbrook Fo-

“This was a solid co-ordinated effort by the officers involved and a very good example of

On March 29, Cochrane RCMP received the report of a serious assault which occurred along Highway 1 near Cochrane. That same day, Alberta

RCMP received a separate complaint of a missing person. As each investigation progressed it became apparent there was a connection between the two incidents. Investigators in Alberta quickly identified two persons of interest as well as a suspect vehicle.

Local NEWS BC Seniors Advocate calls for Update on ecosystem restoration near Elko

more home care, fewer drugs To m Fle tcher Black Press

As many as 15 per cent of B.C. seniors in residential care could have more independence with assisted living or community care support, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate says.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie also compared statistics for B.C. seniors in home and residential care with those in Alberta and Ontario, finding B.C. patients are prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs and receive less physiotherapy and recreation therapy than other provinces.

Mackenzie said the potential overuse of residential care is “troubling on a couple of fronts” with the shortage of residential care beds for high-needs seniors.

“Most seniors would prefer to live independently than in residential care and so we want to ensure all supports and alternative living arrangements are exhausted before we move someone to residential care,” Mackenzie said. “If we are filling even five per cent of these scarce beds

with folks who could live independently, that is 1,500 beds that could open up province-wide.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the ministry is aware of the problems highlighted by the report, and is putting more resources toward home care and community health services, with spending up $1.2 billion to $2.8 billion since 2001.

Lake said B.C. has two programs underway to deal with

overprescription of medications in care facilities. One is a training program for staff to more accurately determine psychiatric signs, and the other is working with doctors and pharmacists to find behavioural alternatives to anti-psychotic drugs.

Mackenzie’s review is based on assessment surveys given to B.C.’s 25,000 seniors in residential care and 29,000 home care clients. It found that a third of residential care patients are being prescribed antipsychotic medication, but only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Antidepressants are administered to almost twice as many patients as have that diagnosis.

The survey found 12 per cent of seniors in B.C. residential care received physiotherapy, compared to 25 per cent in Alberta and 58 per cent in Ontario. Recreational therapy was also more widely used in Alberta than B.C. “Getting seniors moving properly and keeping them moving is absolutely key to maintaining function and independence,” Mackenzie said.

Exceptional winter-range habitat for ungulates is being restored to increase forage and reduce forest-fire fuels around Elko. The ecosystem restoration (ER) treatments have been ongoing since 2014 and will continue (in the form of tree pruning and a broadcast burn) into 2016.

The site, immediately adjacent to Highway 3/93, south of the Village of Elko, is Class 5 Winter Range for bighorn, moose and mountain goat, Class 1 for elk and Class 1-3 for whitetail and mule deer.

“This is key ungulate habitat,” said Larry Ingham, Project Biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

“It’s also habitat for badgers—a red-listed predator—and ground squirrels, their main food source.”

The total treatment area of 66.5 hectares has undergone various treatments to bring the number of trees down to open-forest and openrange densities.

“We’ve been using mechanical thinning and mulching, hand slashing and harvesting to thin the treatment area,” said Dan Murphy, Coordinator with the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society. “We hadn’t planned on harvesting, but a major wind event in November of 2014 blew down many of the ‘leave’ trees.

Karen will testify that she didn’t do it, and a witness will testify that she was with him at a local motel the night of the murder.

Members of the audience will have a chance to sit on the jury as the jury will be facing the audience. That will allow the audience to get the unusual opportunity to see and hear the jury deliberations.

“Five years ago a small group of local lawyers wrote, organized, and presented a Mock Jury Trial, in which judges, lawyers, and court staff conducted a trial before a Jury selected at random from the audience. The name of the performance has been ‘You Be The Jury,’” said Don Kawano, a lawyer with Rella & Paolini in Cranbrook.

“The new feature this

year is that the audience will be able to see the Jury deliberating front and centre. This does not happen in real life because jury deliberations are held in strict secrecy. In addition, there will be some members of the jury who have been ‘hand picked’ and will have definite views as to the guilt or innocence of the accused.”

The event is part of Law Week, an event put on by lawyers all across Canada. Other locations have various events ranging from visits to court houses, meetings with Judges, public awareness booths and presentations in schools, police dog demonstrations, law debate competitions—all of which are intended to give public information about our justice system.

Cranbrook’s Hockey Heritage

Ron ‘Spike’ Huston: A one of a kind player T A n t h o ny D r a n s f e l d

he year was 1965, and the newly formed Cranbrook Royals Hockey Club were in serious need of “instant credibility “ as they entered play in the Western International Hockey League.

They found it in an unlikely source — a 151pound centre from Manitou, Manitoba, named Ron “Spike” Huston, who rolled into Cranbrook on the Greyhound with his Wheat King winger Eddy Mahar.

Thus began a love affair between Huston and a small town in Canada. Spike Huston hit the ice and immediately began scoring goals and assists in bunches. With the mountain air and the generous amount of calories found in Kootenay beer, Huston even began to put on some weight.

Back then the WIHL was a tough place to bring a rookie team.

The Spokane Jets paid their players, and averaged 3,800 fans per game. The Trail Smoke Eaters were famous for winning the World Championship, the Nelson Maple Leafs had been around since 1900, and the famed Kimberley Dynamiters, who liked nothing better than to stick it to the fledgling Cranbrook Royals, who had a brush cut rookie named Ron Huston, unfazed to be playing Senior Hockey.

One night in Kimberley, I saw Huston fire in five goals — one while on his knees 20 feet in front of goalie Bob Wardle. The big hitting defencemen of the WIHL — John Thompson, George Talotti, Harry Smith

and Hugh Hooker — could never seem to get the big hit on the elusive Huston.

Altogether Spike Huston played six seasons for the Cranbrook Royals, winning the WIHL Most Valuable Player Award three times in a row. That Cranbrook team also had the very talented Herbie Grey-Eyes, Leo Ressler, and tough defencemen in Ray Goss and Wally Chernenko.

The Royals’ goalie was the fiery Barry MacKay. Sniper Billy Martin and his winger Ed Legare came to the Royals a bit later.

The Spokane Jets acquired Spike Huston for the Allan Cup Finals of 1970. This proved to be a shrewd move by Spokane Coach Al Rollins — Huston led the Jets in scoring and provided penalty killing with Peter Vipond. Spokane won the Allan Cup, becoming the first American team to do so.

Ron Huston’s hockey career began to accelerate quickly. After a season in Calgary with the Hockey Stampeders, Spike returned to Spokane for the 197172 season, leading the WIHL in scoring. After winning the Allan Cup again, Rollins got the coaching gig in Salt Lake City and brought Huston along with him.

After scoring 42 Goals for Salt Lake City Eagles, Spike was

named Rookie of the Year in the Western League, and 2nd team All-Star. The parent club California Golden Seals of the NHL took notice, and brought the 28-year-old “rookie” to Oakland the following year, trading Reggie Leach to Philly Flyers.

Huston had scored 12 Goals in the NHL by Christmas, but his season was derailed by a severe shoulder separation, but not before a brilliant evening on Hockey Night in Canada, playing the Montreal Canadiens in the old Montreal Forum. Kenny Dryden was in the Habs net, and Spike torched him for two goals, just missing a hat-trick when he rang one off the post in the 3rd period (with a slapshot Montreal announcer Danny Gallivan called “a cannonading blast”).

The Phoenix Road Runners of the newly-formed World Hockey Association gave Spike a two-year contract for some decent money, so it was off to Arizona for a couple of 20 goal seasons.

Huston finished up by leading the Western International Hockey League in scoring in 1977-78, playing for Spokane, and garnering the Most Valuable Player Award for a record fourth time. He ended his illustrious hockey career by becoming Player Coach of the

Lost souls other bits and pieces

M

any years ago, when I was much younger, people went to their elders for advice in times of stress.

The old folk, wise in their years, always knew what to do and, often, what was going on. Of course, sometimes they bluffed.

This is definitely not so these days. The older the elders get the less they know about anything, especially in my case.

CBC announcers keep maundering on about ‘cyber attacks’. Personally, I have no idea what that means and therefore can offer no advice except, maybe, to put up barricades or stay in the basement. The other news is the fact that an aircraft driven by solar power is endeavouring to fly round the world. I don’t get it. I don’t even understand why those lights stay on in my garden when they’re not plugged in to BC Hydro.

Cellphones are another mystery to me but, even more eerie, is that people can tell where a cellphone is at any time.

A distant relative of mine — well, she lives in North Vancouver and that is distant enough — recently recounted to me the saga of her missing cellphone and how it was recovered.

I understand how she might have lost her remote phone; mine disappears when-

ever it feels the urge and then, just like the cat that used to dwell with us, will show up again and have to be re-charged.

The lady in question is highly motivated and extremely busy so, after she had searched the car and turned the household upside-down (and probably shaken it), she got on to her land-line (new expression for this dotard) and she phoned a few people she’d visited recently, even the stores she had shopped in the day before, but to no avail. She gave up, she told me. She was tired Peter out and was hoping to ski at the following Warland Whistler morning, and that meant getting up early.

Her husband is a bit of a stickler and refused to give up. He put a trace on the phone. (This is where I really get lost. I have no idea how to put a trace on anything, especially my car when I am in one of those larger parking areas.) Anyway, the hubby discovered that the cell was skittering around downtown in the heart of Vancouver, apparently having the time of its life. The lady had been nowhere near the throbbing heart of the city, she assured me, but she e-mailed me a copy of a computer map showing where her vagrant cell was going at that very moment and where it had been for the past hour or so.

WARNING: Do you, dear reader realize

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that your spouse, your boss, the police and any debt collectors can find out where you are at any given moment. If, however, you are cunning enough to switch the darn thing off, those same people will know that you are definitely up to no good.

Anyway, my distant relative watched her cell travel through Stanley Park, no doubt taking in the scenery even though it was dark by this time and then head relentlessly into West Vancouver.

By this time, my relative and her spouse had decided that the missing cellphone was travelling by bicycle. It had followed no bus route, was travelling too slowly to have been in a car and too fast to have been hiking; ergo, it was on a bicycle, and so hubby, in the wee hours of the night, set off to intercept.

Hubby and the transporter of said cellphone met on a dark street in West Vancouver, the hubby in his ancient Nissan and the cell with a fellow on a decrepit bike.

Conversation: Hubby: D’you know Blaehafen Street? Cyclist: Never heard of it.

Hubby: Got a phone I can use? Cyclist (rummaging in his pack and producing a cell.) Hubby: That is my phone. D’you want to sell it or do I call the police?

The deal was settled for fifteen bucks, each man moving extremely carefully.

I am still mystified.

Opinion/features

I am writing regarding the current issue surrounding the original Fire Hall and would like to share a couple of observations that I haven’t seen mentioned yet.

First, I’d like to look at this from a business/financial perspective. You must mind our finances very carefully. Certainly it is important for any operation to use any excess inventory to its best advantage.

But this is not an unused piece of industrial property or an extra dump truck or a surplus case of paper clips. This is a high profile piece of heritage property that the City has owned for nearly a hundred years.

The few hundred thousand

dollars that its sale would generate would go into the giant financial maw of the the City. It might pave a few hundred meters of road, or soften the blow of the annual Recplex deficit or even pay Council wages for a couple of years, but then the Fire Hall would be gone forever. It’s kind of like selling the family jewels to buy cigarettes.

Or to pay the Hydro bill. But the Hydro bill comes due again next month and soon there are no jewels left to pawn. Instead, we must find some sustainable way to pay the Hydro bill. Or to buy the smokes.

Secondly, I’d like to refer to the community that you are charged to build and maintain.

I found it very interesting that last week, over 500 people attended the Key City Theatre to hear a man recite poetry. To

recite poetry, for gawd’s sake.

And there were only about a dozen grey heads in the audience. The audience was equally distributed among 15 - 45 year olds. Not as many people as attend a Kootenay Ice game, but a substantial number nevertheless.

And yes, Cranbrook has produced some high level athletes including the Niedermayers, Lukowiches, Jon Klemm, Ben Rutledge and many others in a wide range of disciplines, but we’ve also produced renowned performers such as Brent Carver, Lillix, and the talented young people that make up The Good Ol’ Goats. Also acclaimed visual artists such as ManWoman and Joseph Cross, and up and coming opera singers William Grossman and Caitlin McCaughey. This is a

very diverse community in which we live and for whom you must provide.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must point out that I am an Area C resident and that my vote isn’t even available. However, except for my property taxes, I spend all of my money and my energies in exactly the same places as every Cranbrook resident. I have investments in the City and I do everything I can to make it a strong and fulfilling home. I consider Cranbrook my Community.

I would hate to see short term thinking have a negative effect on the long term strength of the community. I ask you to keep building our community.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week April 5 - 11 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1902 CRANBROOK HEROES IN BATTLE ...

Last Sunday the news was received of the battle fought where Canadian troops won glory for the Union Jack by giving their lives for the cause. Among those killed and wounded Cranbrook had four sons, and the intelligence of the disastrous results carried sadness to many hearts in this town. William Peters, who was killed, had been a fireman on the Crow for some time, and was well known in this district. S M. Lissert, J. C. Grafius and Alex McDonald had worked at the lumber mills in Cranbrook for quite a while and had many friends here.

CRANBROOK MORE OF A CENTER THAN EVER ... Work has been inaugurated on extensive improvements that are to be made in the C. P. R. yards in this city. The old buildings that stand on the west side of the track are being torn down and new buildings of a permanent character will be erected. The yard capacity will be increased, as well as that of the round house.

New machinery will be added to the equipment of the shops, so that in the future repairing that has been done at Winnipeg will be done in Cranbrook. This will mean the employment of more men, and a material increase in the Cranbrook payroll.

Naturally this move will be received with pleasure by the people of Cranbrook, since it means added prosperity to the town, and further evidence of the permanency of the place as a railroad center, as well as the center for mining and commercial operations.

PING PONG … The ping pong tournament between Fort Steele and Cranbrook devotees of the game, held in Cranbrook last Wednesday, resulted in a score of 24 for the visiting ladies against 16 for Cranbrook, while the Cranbrook gentlemen turned the score by 25 to 16, thus saving

the day for the ping pong champions of Cranbrook.

START OF A STORY … Fred Smythe, the editor of the Moyie Leader was in town yesterday He brought his smile and a nicely decorated eye. He told a long, rambling tale in this office about a terrible conflict with a sluice box on Lamb creek and his narrow escape from death. He had just reached the climax of his story when his pipe went out, and as no one in The Herald used the same brand the final chapter was continued until a future date.

1903 DANGEROUS WATER ... The Herald desires again to emphasize the fact that those who use the water from wells on the flat are endangering their lives. The Herald man went to Dr. Green this week and asked the question direct, if he considered the water from these wells dangerous. His answer was direct and emphatic. “Most assuredly. The water will cause typhoid, and never should be used for domestic purposes.” These wells are surface wells, and the gravel make-up of the ground permits all the surface filth to be carried in to the wells. The water looks clear, but contains the poisonous germs that will cause an epidemic if used. This is the dangerous time of the year, and the authorities should see that those so ignorant as to persist in using the water should be prevented by closing up the wells.

1904 LOOK OUT! … There are a number of young girls in Cranbrook who are treading on dangerous ground. They are from 14 to 16 years of age, and are on the streets late at night when they should be at home in bed. Nothing is more likely to lead to lives of misery and despair than such a course.

GOOD WORK GOES ON … Many new residence and business blocks are projected. Cranbrook’s growth is not a matter of imagination, but a positive, tangible reality. The demand for new buildings is increasing, and every day one can hear of

property bought and plans prepared.

James Gill, of the townsite office, says that never before in the history of Cranbrook has there been such a rush for property, and that the sales are increasing each week. Every available lot on Baker Street, the principal business thoroughfare, has been secured as far as there are any buildings, and Armstrong and Hanson avenues are rapidly developing into commercial streets.

WILL RECOVER … A. P. Patton was struck by a falling timber last Thursday at the new brewery where he is employed, and had a leg broken. He was taken to the hospital, and yesterday was taken to his home. It was one of the small bones of the leg and he will be able to get around again in a few weeks.

TOUGH TRIP … J. L. Parker, manager of the North Star, drove down late Monday night on his way to Spokane. He had a hard trip as the night was very dark and there were several low places filled with water on account of the melting snow on the hillsides. In one place the water was up to the horses’ back, and Mr. Parker’s valise, packed for his trip, was filled with water and the contents ruined.

MUCH SMARTER … D. V. Mott, of Fernie, was in town Wednesday. He looks as gay as a spring colt since he shaved off his moustache.

SHIPMAN’S COMEDIANS … Cranbrook is to have the privilege of witnessing a performance by Shipman’s Comedians, which is recognized as one of the strongest and best comedy companies that has ever toured Western Canada. They will be at Wentworth Hall on April 15, and there is no doubt but that the house will be packed.

It will be an evening of continuous merriment produced by artists in the realm of comedy. Tickets will be on sale at Beattie’s drug store, and it might be well for those wanting good seats to make application early. It has been a long time between laughs, so don’t miss this opportunity.

Reflections

Philp named Top Playoff Performer as Ice look upon past year Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Luke Philp stood on the concourse of Western Financial Place and looked longingly at the Kootenay Ice logo for one last time this season, its colours still emblazoned at centre ice.

“When you lose the last game, it never feels too great,” Philp said Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s really tough. You make lifetime friends here. It’s going to be a completely different-looking team next year.”

Philp, a 19-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., led the Ice in playoff scoring with five goals and 12 points in a seven-game setback at the hands of the Calgary Hitmen during the WHL’s Eastern Conference Quarter-finals. His performance earned him the Boston Pizza Top Playoff Performer award, which he was presented with Wednesday afternoon.

The presentation of the award was the final formal event prior to players heading their respective ways for the spring and summer -some to their professional clubs, others to visit friends and family before eventually trekking home -- after Kootenay’s season and firstround playoff series came to a close in a 6-2 Game 7 loss in Calgary Monday night.

Though the season came to an earlier end than players, coaches and management wished for, plenty of positive memories and experiences remain.

“The way our team gave us a chance, being down 3-1 and we made it to a single-game knockout, it shows a lot of character,” said alternate captain Jaedon Descheneau Wednesday morning following his team exit interview. “It shows the guys didn’t give up.

“When that final buzzer went and I realized Levi Cable won’t play a game and Vetts [Austin Vetterl] won’t play a game in this league again -- I’ve played with them since the day I got in this league when I was 16 -- it

was a little emotional. It brought a tear to my eye.”

After going 37-31-1-3 through the regular season, the Ice matched up against the Central Division-champion Calgary Hitmen in the first round of the WHL post-season, falling behind 3-1 in the series before storming back to force a deciding Game 7.

Just as the team’s Eastern Conference quarter-final featured a roller-coaster of ups and downs, the 2014-15 WHL regular season ran a similar course for the Kootenay Ice. The team opened the campaign 3-13-0-0, dwelling in the WHL cellar before Tim Bozon and Sam Reinhart returned from pro camps to help spark a surge.

“When you lose the last game, it never feels too great...You make lifetime friends here. It’s going to be a completely different-looking team next year.”

Luke Philp of the Kootenay Ice From Nov. 1 through the WHL trade deadline Jan. 10, the Ice went 185-0-1 to climb back into the WHL playoff picture, before levelling off and settling into the Eastern Conference first wildcard spot and a playoff date with the Hitmen.

“You can take positives in that we turned it around and we made the playoffs,” Philp said.

“But [it’s] disappointing in the end.”

Both Philp and Descheneau knew that last game was going to be the last game they played with this particular group.

With three 1994born players leaving Cranbrook for the final time in their major-junior hockey careers, Wednesday was an emotional day.

Tim Bozon, already departed, will join the Hamilton Bulldogs -the AHL affiliate of the

Montreal Canadiens -extending his season as he hopes to help the Bulldogs extend theirs.

The Canadiens re-assigned Bozon to the Bulldogs Wednesday morning and the native of Valbonne, France, was already on a jet for Eastern Canada.

Levi Cable, who spent his entire WHL career in Cranbrook, left the rink for the final time, indicating he hopes to pursue a university education and CIS hockey.

“My four years, in total, were a blast,” Cable said. “I’m going to miss it here. I’m going to miss this last year. When I look back on it, I’m going to have good memories of all the guys here and the city of Cranbrook.

“I’ll miss the group of guys that I’ve played with every year. I’ll miss them the most, for sure.

Coming to the rink, seeing them every day, you end up seeing them quite a bit over the eight-month time. They become a family and that’s what I’m going to miss the most.”

The native of Hudson Bay, Sask., finished up his 20-year-old campaign with career numbers, raking in 28 goals and 51 points.

Austin Vetterl, the quick-talking native of Surrey, heads home with his WHL career wrapped up as well.

Like Cable, the pesky forward hopes to pursue CIS hockey.

“When you look back on it, you think about how much fun you had and how far you’ve actually came as a person, not just a player,” Vetterl said. “This league does grow you in many ways.

You meet many new people. I think, looking back, you just have to remember everything you’ve been a part of.

“Leaving all the guys, no matter if you played with them for a year, three days, three years, you’re always going to have fun with them.

That’s going to be the worst part about leaving this league.”

Vetterl also closed out his WHL tenure by posting career bests with 13 goals and 39 points over

As Vetterl and Cable look towards summer and determining where their college-hockey paths may take them, a handful of teammates continue their seasons with pro clubs.

Bozon wasn’t the only pro-bound player, as both Sam Reinhart and Rinat Valiev were summoned by their pro squads.

Reinhart was already on a flight out of Cranbrook as he was re-assigned to the AHL’s Rochester Americans Wednesday afternoon.

Valiev was also jet-setting east as he was re-assigned to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.

For Valiev and Reinhart, they very well could turn pro on a fulltime basis come the 2015-16 season.

On top of the departure of the three 1994born veterans, the Ice stand to lose a number of eligible returners due to the WHL over-ager rule.

With 11 players born in 1995 and only three 20-year-old roster slots available for the 2015-16 WHL season, there will undoubtedly be plenty of change in Cranbrook before the Ice get back to it next season.

Big-league aspirations

Philp lands in NHL Central Scouting final ranks; Descheneau to join Wolves Taylor Rocc a

It’s safe to say that every major-junior hockey player has aspirations of continuing their game at the professional level.

A handful of Kootenay Ice inched closer towards that goal Wednesday afternoon.

The NHL Central Scouting Service released its final rankings ahead of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, with forward Luke Philp moving up the charts from No. 191 (at the mid-season rankings) to No. 172.

“You try not to expect too much. You want to get picked always,” Philp said.

“You can’t get too down on yourself. Last year, I was really disappointed I didn’t get picked. You’ve got to just let that fuel you to work even harder than you were before, to hopefully get picked in the future.”

Philp was passed over at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, his first year of eligibility. In the season that followed, his hard work proved NHL scouts wrong and has earned him a second look.

In 71 WHL games this season, the native of Canmore stacked up 30 goals and 82 points to lead the Kootenay Ice. Meanwhile, Philp’s linemate Jaedon Descheneau is prepared to join the AHL’s Chicago Wolves as he battles to prove the St. Louis Blues he is worth an NHL entry-level contract.

“I had a good season, but not the best season I could have had,” Descheneau said.

“It’s kind of frustrating. I was really wanting to get a contract. It could happen still. I have no idea what’s going on with that.

“I’m going to Chicago in the American League next week...That’s a good step towards getting something.”

Unlike Philp, Descheneau wasn’t passed over at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft as the Blues selected him in the fifth round (124th overall).

In 70 games this season, Descheneau tallied 34 goals and 81 points, down from the 44 goals and 98 points he registered during the 201314 campaign.

In other rumblings revolving around the Kootenay Ice, forward Tim Bozon is headed for the AHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs.

A third-round selection (64th overall) of the Montreal Canadiens at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Bozon was re-assigned to the Bulldogs Wednesday morning as they fight for a spot in the AHL playoff picture.

Bozon posted 35 goals and 63 points in 57 games with the Ice this season.

Captain Sam Reinhart is also headed east as he was re-assigned to the AHL’s Rochester Americans Wednesday.

Ice reflections

Thursday, APRIL 9, 2015

Sabres at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Reinhart played nine games with the Sabres before being returned to the Ice earlier this season.

Upon returning to Cranbrook, Reinhart scored 19 goals and 65 points in 47 games.

Finally, defenceman Rinat Valiev will get his first taste of pro hockey this week as he was re-assigned to the AHL’s

Toronto Marlies Wednesday morning.

Valiev, a 2014 thirdround selection (68th overall) of the Toronto Maple Leafs, missed the bulk of Leafs camp this past fall as he dealt with a knee injury.

The native of Nizhnekamsk led all Ice defencemen with nine goals and 46 points through the 2014-15 campaign.

POINTS from PARLIAMENT with

DAVID WILKS

MP Kootenay - Columbia

Canada’s military contribution to global fight against ISIL Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Government’s intent to bring forward a motion in the House of Commons seeking support for the Government’s decision to extend and expand Canada’s military contribution to the global fight against the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Operation IMPACT would be extended for up to 12 months, until March 30, 2016. Its mandate would also be expanded to authorize Canada’s CF-188 Hornet fighters to join Coalition partners in attacking ISIL targets within Syrian territory.

•

ISIL has made clear that it targets, by name, Canada and Canadians.

•

These terrorists hate our society and the Canadian traditions of freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. They believe anyone who does not think and act as they do should be killed.

•

As the Prime Minister said, we cannot protect Canada or our communities by simply choosing to ignore this threat.

•

This is why we are seeking the support of Canadian parliamentarians for our decision to extend and expand Canada’s military mission, with our allies, to fight Islamic jihadism which threatens national and global security.

•

We intend to continue to degrade and disrupt ISIL as well as provide humanitarian and stabilization support to help alleviate the suffering this terrorist group is inflicting.

On Syria •

ISIL cannot have a safe haven. We have decided to join our allies who have been attacking ISIL in Syria without resistance from the Syrian government.

•

The Canadian Armed Forces will conduct air strikes against ISIL targets in Syria on the same basis as our Coalition allies - that is the threat that ISIL poses to Iraq, our coalition partners, and Canada.

•

We continue to oppose the brutality of the Assad regime.

Continued from page 8 Forwards Ryan Chynoweth, Jon Martin, Philp, Descheneau, and Reinhart, join defencemen Tanner Lishchynsky, Tyler King, Valiev, Tanner Faith and Lenny Hackman, along with goaltender Wyatt Hoflin as 20-year-olds this fall.

Only three of them will be able return to Cranbrook.

The 2014-15 season saw the Kootenay Ice extend a streak of 17 consecutive post-season appearances along with 16 straight seasons finishing with a record of .500 or better.

With the impending turnover, the 2015-16

season will certainly challenge both those runs.

If the likes of Descheneau, Philp and Valiev don’t turn pro, they will certainly be strong candidates to return in an effort to extend those eye-popping streaks.

“This is the place I’ve been for four years,” Descheneau said. “So this is the place I want it to end.”

The next big item on the calendar for the Kootenay Ice comes in restocking the cupboards at the WHL Bantam Draft, which takes place May 7 in Calgary.

Our Government has put forward measures to protect Canadians.

Canada is not sitting on the sidelines, as the Liberals and NDP would have us do.

McDavid named NHL’s top prospect Otters’ forward McDavid tops in NHL Central Scouting rankings

Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

ERIE, Pa. - Connor McDavid is the projected No. 1 pick in this year’s NHL draft, so it’s no surprise that he’s the topranked North American prospect on Central Scouting’s final list.

As expected, McDavid topped the rankings released Wednesday, ahead of Boston University centre Jack Eichel.

Boston College defenceman Noah Hanifin was third.

“It’s a pretty special thing,” McDavid said Wednesday after practising with the Erie Otters. “You’re honoured to be the top-ranked guy, I guess. It’s a good position to be in, but there’s still a lot of work to be done and still a lot of time from now to the draft. Anything could happen.”

McDavid, from Newmarket, Ont., finished fourth in Ontario Hockey League scoring with

daily townsman / daily bulletin

120 points in just 47 games. His 44 goals were tied for fourth in the OHL. McDavid also tied for the scoring lead at the 2015 world junior championship with 11 points in seven games as Canada won the gold medal.

He and the Otters will face fellow gold-medal winner Max Domi and the London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League playoffs beginning Thursday.

Eichel is also considered a top talent entering the 2015 draft, which will be held June 26-27 at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. He leads NCAA players with 67 points and is of three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, given to college hockey’s best player.

“Jack is a tremendous future NHLer, he’s an allstar, he’s big, he can skate, he’s competitive,” Toronto Maple Leafs scout and BU alum John Lilley said Tuesday.

“Whoever gets him in this upcoming draft has certainly got an unbelievable building block at the centre position.”

Behind McDavid, Eichel and Hanifin is OHL leading scorer Dylan Strome, Erie’s second-line centre. The brother of New York Islanders forward Ryan Strome put up 45 goals and 84 assists for a league-best 129 points.

“It’s just another notch. It doesn’t really affect me too much,” Strome said. “It’s just kind of cool for people when they look back in history at the scoring titles of the league and see some of the people that won, (Islanders captain John) Tavares and guys like that. it’s pretty cool to be part of that elite company.”

McDavid was glad Strome was shown the appreciation of being ranked so high.

“After the year he had, it’s hard not to put

him up there,” Erie’s captain said. “I think he can be even higher than that. He’s a great player, and I’m very glad that he’s been able to show that this year.”

Canadian world-junior winger Lawson Crouse of the Kingston Frontenacs rounded out the top five North American skaters. Mikko Rantanan, who starred for Finland at that tournament, was ranked as the top European skater.

Mackenzie Blackwood of the OHL’s Barrie Colts topped the list of North American goaltenders, while Russian Ilya Samsonov was ranked the top international goaltender.

The top 120 prospects will be invited to attend NHL scouting combine, which will take place in Buffalo, N.Y., for the first time. It will run from June 1-6 at the Sabres’ arena, First Niagara Center, and the new HarborCenter facility.

Flames aim to join Canucks with playoff berth Donna Spencer Canadian Press

CALGARY - There is now a quick and straightforward path to the NHL playoffs for the Calgary Flames.

A win in regulation over the Los Angeles Kings in Calgary’s final home game of the season Thursday will put the Flames in the post-season for the first time since 2009.

Calgary’s 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes combined with the Kings’ 4-2 loss up the highway to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday gave Calgary 95 points in third place in the Pacific Division - two points up on the Kings.

The Flames can put insurmountable distance on the defending Stanley Cup champions with a victory in regulation Thursday.

“We’ve been trying to take care of business leading up to this game,” Flames defenceman

Dennis Wideman said.

“We knew just the way everyone seems to be winning, we knew it would come down to this game as long as we won ours. And we have been. So here we go.”

Calgary (44-29-7) posted a 3-1 record against Los Angeles this season, with two of the wins in overtime.

The Flames would hold onto third in the division with a single point from a shootout or overtime loss Thursday against the Kings.

The race for third place would then come down to the last day of the regular season Saturday, when Calgary finishes on the road in Winnipeg and the Kings (39-26-15) are at home

to San Jose.

Flames head coach Bob Hartley would prefer his team take the more efficient route to the post-season Thursday.

“We all know what’s at stake,” he said.

“There’s Stanley Cup champs coming in our building. We’re on a mission. We know what we need to do.”

The idle Vancouver Canucks clinched a playoff berth with the Kings’ loss and would be Calgary’s first-round opponent should the Flames secure a divisional playoff berth.

The Western Conference’s final wild-card berth was still in play for Calgary after Tuesday’s games. The Winnipeg Jets held it with 96 points following a 1-0 win over St. Louis.

Winnipeg’s final road game is Thursday in Denver versus the Avalanche before going home to finish against the Flames.

The end of the world: A trip to Antarctica

Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel writes about recent adventures in a far off contenent Part 1 of 2. Part 2 will run April 23.

Today, we begin a two part series exploring travel at the “End of the World”. We’ll conclude with a look at travel in Patagonia on April 20.

Colder, drier, and windier than anywhere else on the planet, Antarctica is so extreme and remote that it barely feels like it’s part of Earth at all. But it’s that very otherworldliness that appeals to the adventurous souls who dream of visiting. Painted in shades of white and blue, the landscape is as beautiful as it is forbidding: monstrous glaciers, saw-toothed mountains, colossal icebergs, and fields of ice that stretch on forever.

To get there, you’ll have to travel to the end of the earth— to a port town called Ushuaia.

The southernmost city in the world, Argentina’s Ushuaia is affectionately referred to as “El Fin Del Mundo”. Located at 54 degrees south, this port on the famed Beagle Channel is the jumping off point for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. From here, the only thing standing between you and Antarctica is the 800 km Drake Passage.

If you’re lucky the Drake won’t be too rough, although it might still mean some roll-

Images of an Antarctica expedition: Ice and penguins are prominently featured. Paul Teolis photo ing swells in 2–5 metre waves; this is better, of course, than the 12–13 metre swells that are often recorded. One of the reasons it’s rough is the sheer volume of water flowing round the tip of South America — about 600 times the volume of the Amazon.

But what’s an adventure without a little rock and roll?

Despite its reputation, the Drake isn’t something to be

CRANBROOK CRANBROOK

feared or even prevent you from going on an Antarctic expedition. Cruising through the Drake offers great opportunities for the sighting of whales, dolphins and seabirds including giant petrels, other petrels, albatrosses and penguins.

Travellers hoping to travel to Antarctica are limited to travelling during the summer months, from November to

March.

So, when’s the best time to visit? Like most things, it depends on what you’re looking to experience. Keep in mind that prices tend to be lower at the beginning and end of the season—but there is often less to see in the way of wildlife. That begins said, photographers hoping to capture postcard classics of pristine Antarctic ice are like-

ly to snap their best landscapes in November. At the same time, penguins start coming ashore for to perform their courtship rituals and build nests. The trade off is shorter days and thicker ice, which restricts access to some areas like the Lemaire Channel and the Weddell Sea. From mid to late December, penguin chicks start to

hatch on the Antarctic Peninsula. By February, penguin colonies are busy, noisy (not to mention smelly) as the adolescents begin to moult; February to early March is the best time to see whales, and a good number of fur seals. By mid March, most penguin colonies are emptying as the birds return to the sea.

So—are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Massive, magnificent, and unforgiving, Antarctica is a continent of superlatives that will leave your mind searching for words to describe it. Each day presents a new discovery, whether you’re cruising through ice-choked waterways, trekking through chattering penguin rookeries, or catching minkes and humpbacks breaching in the pristine waters. The few travellers who are fortunate enough to explore Antarctica’s vast expanses return home forever changed by an experience so awe-inspiring that it reaches to their very core.

Antarctica will surprise you in every way. Trust the team at Mountain City Travel to get you there in just the way you want. Call toll free 1-877427-2233 or 250-427-2233, or email travel@mcity.ca.

hen it comes to experiencing Canada’s beautiful backcountry, I have developed a high tolerance to comfort.

Don’t get me wrong — years of treeplanting, canoe trips, and other experiences in the glorious wilderness have given me plenty of memories of wet sleeping bags, waking up in a freezing tent, blackflies, rain — all the perils of roughing it in the bush.

So when I got the chance to experience a night and a day, camping in a luxurious Jayco 25-foot trailer courtesy of Fisher Peak Camping and Trailer Rentals, I jumped at the opportunity. Here’s a way to get out into our beautiful backcountry in convenience and comfort.

Fisher Peak offers a unique service for a unique way to experience all levels of East Kootenay camping. Visitors or residents can

tion of your choice), the “Hit The Road” option (U-tow travel and tent trailers), or the “Back to Basics” — simple tent packages for those who like their camping experience close to the ground.

In my case, I took advantage of a “hassle free” night and a day at the beautiful Kimberley Riverside Campground just a ways down St. Mary Road — one of the prime campgrounds in the East Kootenay. I arrived to find all in place — the trailer delivered and parked, the awning extended, the barbecue equipment all ready to go. Just pull the key from the pre-arranged hiding place, and in I was, a home away from home for the weekend.

My outing took place in September — the beginning of the end of the season. The days were brilliant, the weather perfect for a sojourn in the adjacent Kimberley Nature Park and a walk around Riverside Campground — pretty relaxing in its own right.

Town life in Kimberley is just a few miles a way

— I easily started seeing the experience through a tourist’s eyes — what a way to get to know the area! I could imagine striking off in any direction — perhaps a hike up Fisher Peak — then returning back to “base camp” for a leisurely barbecue and some relaxation by the fire pit.

Inside the trailer, there’s a master bedroom, bunks for the kids, full on washroom, kitchen with fridge, sitting area, and even a satellite TV (which wasn’t used — perhaps if the Roughriders had been playing).

September days are golden and warm, but the nights can be chilly.

No problem, a flick of the switch and on comes the heat — warming up the space in minutes, with an automatic setting for all through the night. None of this waking up freezing for me and mine!

What a great way for tourists to get to know — and for residents to further enjoy — this great region we live in.

Portable toilets helping to Five ways to be an eco-driver keep San Francisco area clean NE WS C ANADA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Streets in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighbourhood blocks away from fancy stores and long lines of tourists waiting for cable cars have been cleaner since solar-powered toilets began rolling in four afternoons per week.

The mobile bathrooms on wheels are guarded by attendants and have been so successful that city officials say Portland, Oregon; Honolulu and New York have inquired about them in seeking solutions for similar sanitation problems.

Supporters of the portable pit stops say having public bathrooms accessible has made the neighbourhood known for crime, homelessness and poverty more livable.

“Everyone has to go to the bathroom, that’s

not something anyone can stop,” said Jane Kim, a San Francisco supervisor whose district includes the Tenderloin neighbourhood. “This program affords people some dignity to take care of a human need.”

Two portable toilets with sinks and mounted on a trailer are hauled in by pickup trucks each Tuesday through Friday to three spots near soup kitchens and a park areas that attract large clusters of people.

They are dropped off at 2 p.m. and taken out at 9 p.m. to be cleaned.

Attendants working for a non-profit contracted by the city make sure the portable toilets stay sanitary and keep them stocked with toilet paper, air freshener, soap, paper towels and seat covers.

They also give users a courtesy knock after five minutes.

Kaven Harris, 54, said before the toilets were brought in he was forced to go to the bathroom in parking lots, hiding between cars.

“If this pit stop weren’t here, I would be in a parking lot,” said Harris, an Army veteran who has been living on the streets about six months.

“There is no place to use the bathroom if you’re homeless and don’t have money.”

The pilot program was inspired by a group of students at De Marillac Academy, a private Catholic school in the neighbourhood.

They read poems to city officials about their struggles growing up in the Tenderloin where many said they had to pay close attention to the ground to avoid stepping on syringes and human feces.

Attention all drivers.

The way you drive affects your fuel consumption, which in turn affects the amount of greenhouse gas emissions your vehicle emits into the atmosphere.

By changing your driving habits, even a little, you could save hundreds of dollars a year in fuel and help reduce your CO2 emissions.

The way to start is to eco-drive, a safer and greener way that produces the lowest fuel consumption from every vehicle, regardless of its size and age.

Here are five tips to get you started from the experts at Natural Resources Canada: 1. Accelerate gently Every time you put your foot on the gas pedal, you feed fuel to your engine - the harder you apply the gas, the more fuel your engine uses and the more greenhouse gas emissions your car produces; 2. Maintain a steady speed and stick to the

24

speed limit - It’s tempting to speed on the highway but by reducing your speed from 120 km/hour to 100 km/hour you can lower your fuel consumption by about 20 per cent; 3. Anticipate traffic flow - Try to gauge the flow of traffic, keep a buffer zone between you and the vehicles in front of you, and drive at a consistent speed. Speed fluctuations use more fuel; 4. Coast to decelerate - Coasting to a stop is like

getting a free ride. When you notice that traffic ahead is slowing or stopped, remove your foot from the accelerator as soon as possible and coast instead of staying on the gas until the last second and slamming on the brakes. Your car uses little or no fuel when coasting.

5. EcoDriving can result in as much as a 25 per cent reduction in fuel costs or roughly $500 a year and $2,500 over five years for the average vehicle. Not only does

eco-driving save fuel, but it also reduces maintenance costs.

By following these few simple eco-driving tips, you can save fuel, reduce maintenance costs and reduce your environmental footprint. Watch a video for more eco-driving tips on the NRCan website at www.nrcan. gc.ca/energy/efficiency/ transpor tation/carslight-trucks/driver-educators/7537.

Kootenay Concert Connections is pleased to present Jesse Cook’s One World Tour 2015. The concert will take place in Cranbrook on Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Key City Theatre. There will also a show in trail the night before on on Sept. 22.

“One World is my ultimate mashup,” says Cook. “A playground where different musical traditions from around the globe are free to roam. I like to think of it as a 21st century Byzantium, where east meets west, tradition meets experimentation, ancient meets electronic.”

Jesse Cook is a Canadian guitarist, composer, and producer. Widely considered one of the most influential figures in “nuevo flamenco” music, he incorporates elements of flamenco rumba, jazz & many forms of world music into his work.

He is a Juno Award winner, Acoustic Guitar (magazine)’s Player’s Choice Award silver winner in the Flamenco Category, and a three-time winner of the Canadian Smooth Jazz award for Guitarist of the Year.

He has recorded on the EMI, E1 Music and Narada labels and has sold

MBSS prepares for new play: The Drowsy Chaperone C arter Gulse th

Do you remember Gable and Steins “The Drowsy Chaperone”? A farcical madcap musical all the way from 1928, it was filled with slapstick, rollicking dance numbers, and a happy ending for everybody.

Well, you shouldn’t remember, because The Drowsy Chaperone didn’t exist in 1928.

It does, however, exist today and is set to be produced by Mount Baker Secondary School.

But perhaps I should explain. I will start at the beginning: in 1998.

Way back in the Stone Age that was the nineties, two real life people got married.

Welcome

Krystal Detta RE/MAX Blue Sky Realty, would like to welcome Krystal Detta to our team of Realtors.

and Janet Van De Graaff.

Well, their friends put together a hilarious 1920’s-style musical review for the combined bachelor/bachelorette party, and “The Drowsy Chaperone” was born.

Bob and Janet thought the review was so hilarious that the small production was reworked, and new characters were added, until the show landed on Broadway in 2006.

The show is a love letter to the musical theatre of yesteryear. It introduces us to the nameless and agoraphobic Man in Chair, who lives alone in his New York City apartment, listening to old Broadway cast albums.

He invites us into his home, and then bids us to listen to his favorite record: “The Drowsy Chaperone”. He puts it on to play, and the musical comes to life in his apartment, delivering two short hours of hilarity and fun. And that’s all the show is: fun.

During the original Broadway run, the show

was a massive success; it took away five Tony awards, and was nominated for eight more. It was received with rapture by the critics, and ran for a very respectable 627 performances, not including previews.

The book was brilliant, adding a touch of pathos to almost insurmountable wit.

Surrounded by a season of more superficial shows, Drowsy displayed a delightful combination of art and audience attraction.

The show is, speaking of audience attraction, a complete contrast from last seasons “Urinetown the Musical”. While some had questioned Urinetown because of its platform of substance over commercialism, “The Drowsy Chaperone” is both brilliant and appealing to any variety of audience.

In Urinetown, the theme revolves around the flippancy of man towards the environment.

In Drowsy, the theme revolves around

In Urinetown, people must be conservative with liquids, or face a horrible fate. In Drowsy, actors are liberal with their execution of spittakes. You get the idea; there is a lot less death and fecal matter in Drowsy.

That is not, of course, to say that we here at Mount Baker are opposed to death or fecal matter.

So with the rehearsals off and running, we implore you to come and sing and dance and disappear into the decadent world of the 1920s.

With a Tony-winning score by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, and an equally Tony-winning book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, Mount Baker’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” will run at the Key City Theatre from May 7 to May 9 at 7:30 p.m., and May 10 at 3 p.m.

Tickets and ticket information can be found at the Key City box office, or you could always call the Key at (250) 4267006.

Will things all work in the end?

Of course they will!

It’s a musical!

We look forward to seeing you in the audience.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” play at risk in author Lee’s hometown Jay Ree ves ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONROEVILLE, Ala. - Each spring when the azaleas bloom, attorney Atticus Finch, daughter Scout and other characters from “To Kill a Mockingbird” come to life on the courthouse lawn in the Alabama hometown of author Harper Lee, who will release a sequel to her classic novel in July.

Townspeople, all volunteers largely without theatre experience, join together annually to perform a stage version of Lee’s story of racial injustice in the Deep South.

The production is a point of civic pride that draws crowds from across the globe and helps fill motels, restaurants and shops in otherwise sleepy Monroeville, a town of 6,300 in southwest Alabama.

This year’s shows opens Wednesday with a performance for schoolchildren; others have been sold out for weeks, partly because of excitement created by word of Lee’s unexpected “Mockingbird” fol-

lowup - “Go Set a Watchman.”

Yet the play may eventually be coming to an end. Organizers haven’t been able to obtain rights to produce the play beyond 2015, records show, and a person involved in the delay is the same person who came under scrutiny after discovering “Watchman” and alerting a publisher: Lee’s attorney Tonja Carter.

Probate Judge Greg Norris in Monroe County is working with Carter to obtain permission to stage “Mockingbird” in 2016.

Tonja Carter’s husband has been appointed to the board that oversees the play, but the future of the production is in “limbo,” according to minutes from a March meeting of the Monroe County Heritage Museum.

Tonja Carter, who has handled business affairs for the famously private author for several years, didn’t return a message seeking comment. Neither did the president of the Illinois-based Dramatic

Thursday, APRIL 9, 2015

Publishing Co., which licenses the play.

But friction isn’t anything new between Lee and the museum, located in the old Monroe County Courthouse where the play is put on each year.

In 2013, Lee sued the museum over “Mockingbird” souvenirs sold in its store after seeking a federal trademark for the title of her book when it is used on clothing. The suit came after the museum opposed the application, saying souvenir sales were vital to its operation.

The legal dispute was settled, but news of the unexpected followup novel by Lee once again put a spotlight on Monroeville’s most famous resident.

The thought of a spring without the play and the business it generates sends chills through area merchants like book retailer Spencer Madrie.

“If it’s the last year of the play I’ll build a stage out back and have it here,” said Madrie. “The town without the play?

It’s hard to imagine.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Express your sense of humor, and others naturally will gravitate toward you. You have so many ideas, and now you have an audience to share them with.

You know how to take control in a way that has others feeling as though they are actively participating. Tonight: Meet a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

One-on-one relating helps you head in the direction you want. Express your thoughts to a trusted partner and get feedback. This person might seem unusually agreeable, perhaps because you are grounded and know what you are doing. Tonight: Where you want to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to someone else, and worry less about this person’s reactions. You can’t always get others to be on the same page as you, but this person knows how to take your ideas and run with them. Express your confidence in his or her approach. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to organize and delegate will determine your ability to clear out a project that might be a high priority. An older relative might keep interfering without realizing it. Politely let this person know that you need him or her to back down some. Tonight: Off to the gym.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It might seem as if a muse has suddenly appeared, as you can’t stop creating. Romance could be enhanced by a conversation involving a trip or vacation.

You might be surprised by how excited a loved one becomes at the idea of getting away. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel happiest at home. You can accomplish a lot in this setting, and as a result, you’ll have more time for a friend or relative. You’ll find this person to be extremely verbal.

Sometimes, you even could feel overwhelmed by him or her. Tonight: Togetherness works.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out to someone whom

Tundra

you care a lot about. Sometimes you might feel overwhelmed when this person is around.

Schedule time to visit with him or her, but also know when to say “no.” Establishing strong boundaries will help you. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of the financial implications of a new idea or business venture; otherwise, you could encounter a problem with your budget. Someone you admire will be quite pleased when observing your chosen direction. Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be impossible to stop, as you’ll be full of great ideas and have the energy to make them realities. Your creativity soars, but you also will appreciate feedback from friends. Tonight: Be a flirt if you want, but know that you could cause some jealousy!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You sense a lot of activity around you, but some information seems to be hidden or

withheld. A partner or dear friend will fill you in when he or she can. Meanwhile, don’t worry so much. Schedule a fun lunch with a loved one. Tonight: Be near good music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on what you want, and be aware of the role of a friendship in achieving this goal. Conversations might have you busy by just having to answer and return calls. Don’t lose your focus -- you’re heading down the right track. Tonight: Be where the crowds are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay on top of a situation that demands your guidance. Remain sure of yourself. Money could play a role in making decisions, but you might need to have a conversation first with someone else involved in this matter. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Eight months ago, I met the love of my life online. Everything started off great. “Jay” and I chatted every day.

However, at one point, a past lover of his intervened and warned me about some of his “issues.” I became a little bit paranoid and asked Jay to explain his side of things. He didn’t want to at first, but he finally relented, and we continued on. I told him I loved him.

Three months ago, Jay decided there was no way we could be anything more than friends. I struggled with just being friends, but eventually, I accepted it.

Now, Jay seems to be making more and more friends and is phasing me out. One of my dearest friends died last week, and Jay hasn’t bothered to provide any comfort. I would cease all communication, but it would be difficult because the Internet community we belong to includes many mutual friends and chat forums.

Should I remain so-called friends or just let him go? -- Confused Web Reader Dear Confused: Please let him go. Jay is not the love of your life. You have confused the excitement of your initial contact with love, but now you have seen Jay’s true character. He isn’t interested in having a romantic relationship with you. If you think you can remain part of the same Internet community and not pine over him, fine. Try to ignore him as best you can. Otherwise, please expand your online presence so you aren’t as dependent on this particular community of people.

Dear Annie: I dread going to my niece’s first baby shower. At the last one I went to that included our family, there were older mothers who proceeded to tell horror stories about labor and delivery. No one needs to hear the in-depth details of their birth process, and especially not a first-time mother.

Some people speak before they think.

How can I politely get them to shut up?

-- Dreading Showers Dear Showers: If someone should start replaying the details of their birth experience, it’s perfectly OK to say, in mock horror, “Heavens! Please don’t discuss that in front of all of us! A baby is a wonderful gift, and we all want ‘Suzie’ to look forward to the experience. I know you don’t mean to be so negative about it.”

They may insist they are only being informative, but new mothers are nervous enough without adding to their worries by relaying stories about what could possibly go wrong. Of course, some stories are funny or uplifting, and those should be encouraged.

Dear Annie: Thanks for printing the letter from Magi Linscott, encouraging kids not to smoke. I quit smoking more than eight years ago, and I am so glad.

I now know what my late father used to experience after he quit and then smelled cigarette smoke: He got sick.

I do, too. I cannot believe this is what I used to smell like.

My wife told me I stopped wheezing in my sleep within two weeks of quitting.

And my VA health care providers are very happy with me. If you’re still smoking, STOP! Don’t say it’s impossible. I smoked two packs a day for 40 years.

Thanks for letting me vent, Annie. -Grateful Ex-Smoker in Campbellsville, Ky. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

MLA,

In Victoria, I toured the International Passive House which uses design principles that reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to other buildings at a cost of only 10% more than the average home to build.

2

Government is providing $100,000 to the Canadian Passive House institute (CanPHI) West to train up to 200 qualiďŹ ed professionals so that construction and design professionals can build the most energy eďŹ&#x192;cient buildings possible.

3

I urge any contractors, construction and design professionals in East Kootenay to consider applying for this 1 week course. Energy consumption savings of 90% in East Kootenay would result in thousands of dollars in savings annually for residents who built a passive house.

Each office independently owned and operated.

For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, Orthodox Pascha lags a week behind western Easter this year.

While the western world was celebrating the resurrection of the Son of God, the Orthodox were re-living Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry into Jerusalem, the beginning of Holy Week and the final phase of His mission.

We are in the in-between time because during this week, fallen time has regained its meaning. We celebrate services in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time.

We are in the in-between time because now we are beginning to grasp how Christ fulfils all the prophecies and the Old Testament stories, not just the obvious ones but others like the three young men in the fiery furnace, the crossing of the Red Sea, Jonah, the near sacrifice of Isaac, and so many more.

We are in the in-between time because we are transitioning from the Old Testament way of life into the life of Christ who fulfils all the laws.

The laws and the rituals in the Old Testament were given in an attempt to restore the people to God. Unfortunately, it is human nature to search for legal loopholes and people strove to keep the letter of the law while violating its spirit. The laws and rituals became an end in themselves, chaining the people to burdens difficult to

carry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.â&#x20AC;? Luke 4:18.

Jesus claimed this prophecy for Himself. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just refer to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the in-between time because during this week, fallen time has regained its meaning.â&#x20AC;?

Anastasia Bartlett physical redemption but spiritual as well.

Jesus came to relieve all people of the burden and chains and suffering of dead legalism and to open their eyes to true freedom. Jesus infuses the law with love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.â&#x20AC;? John 1:17â&#x20AC;¨Unfortunately, the tyranny of law still exists because behaviour associated with merciful love is not as clear-cut as that required by dead law. I can do all things in accordance with the law down to the last jot or tittle, but nothing I do will restore me to God if I have not love. (1 Corinthians 13.)

We are in the in-between time as we move from law to love throughout this week.

In love, God takes flesh at the incarnation.

In love, He joins Himself to all of creation and redeems it with every step He takes. In love, He restores creation to Himself until the last enemy to be conquered is death. In love, He wins the final battle by trampling down death by death.

In love, Christ dies and rises again; not to satisfy the law of an angry god requiring retribution for disobedience, but to break down the gates of hell and to ascend to heaven leading the captives, including me, into freedom; restoring all of creation to Himself.

The laws are not able to do this, only love can.

God is love and only love can approach Him. Anger and hatred and judgement will send me farther from God. If I want to be close to God, I have to live my life in love.

When Christ ascended, He established the Church, a group of sinners against whom the gates of hell would not prevail because the Church exists in supple love not rigid law.

The Old Testament tells me where I have come from, the New Testament tells me where I am going and everything else is done in love of Christ.

Love is the blood which keeps the Church vital. Love enables me to see Christ in everyone; friend or enemy, believer or not, sinners all, of whom I am chief. If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love others, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly love Christ. No amount of Bible study, prayer or ritual will replace love.

We are in the in-between time when Jesus came to set us free from the love of power and to show us power of love.

He is Risen, in love; let us do likewise.

Anastasia Bartlett is a member of St. Aidanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orthodox. We invite you to come and join us celebrating the Feast of Feast at St. Aidanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (corner of 2nd St S & 7th Ave S) on Sunday, April 12 at 1p.m. for a service and/ or 2p.m. for feast.
