Local internet child luring investigation leads to the U.K.

FOR THE BULLETIN

A 27 year old British man has been sentenced in the U.K. relating to an internet child luring investigation that involved a Cranbrook youth.

In November 2012, a young boy in Cranbrook accessed a well-known Internet website to chat and meet strangers while his parents were not home. The boy subsequently connected with a number of strangers he met on the site using the video camera on his laptop. The young boy was coaxed into

showing his genitals online by his “new friends”.

When the youths parents got home and discovered what had happened they immediately contacted the Cranbrook RCMP. An Internet Investigator with the Cranbrook RCMP commenced an investigation which subsequently lead to a suspect residing in Britain.

Based on information provided by Cranbrook RCMP, British authorities commenced an investigation and in doing so were able to obtain and execute search war-

rants.

“This was a very lengthy and complex investigation” explained S/Sgt. Dubnyk. “It is a great example of police agencies ability to share information and assist one another in identifying and tracking down “on line” sexual predators regardless of geographical distances. It is also a stark reminder of the need for parents to become educated about computer technologies and to maintain open dialogue regarding their children’s online activities” Dubnyk added.

An issue that won’t go away 170 Wallinger keeps coming up C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The issue of what will eventually happen with the very visible downtown lot at 170 Wallinger (former Esso station property) keeps coming up.

Two weeks ago at the Mayor’s Lunch, Don McCormick was asked about the city’s plans, and again at Council last week, a letter was received, which was critical of Council’s handling of the situation.

At the lunch, McCormick said that Council had decided nothing yet about the long term future of the lot.

“Ideas are coming in and at

some point, Council will consider them. In the meantime, we have decided to remove the balance of the clutter and grade it flat.”

The letter received by Council came from residents Syd Fletcher and Greg McCormick (no relation to the Mayor), who were writing, they said, to express their deep dissatisfaction with the way the entire thing has been handled.

“The land swap deal only benefitted the owner of the Esso station, who now has a visible building lot and no liability,” the letter says. “Meanwhile the taxpayers are on the hook for thousands of dollars to try to make this eyesore in the middle of downtown safe and more presentable to look at.”

The writers went on to state that they did not find the lot a suitable site for the cenotaph —

an idea that has been mentioned more than once when discussing uses for the site. The letter also suggests that the only real potential for the lot is to pay for decontamination and sell it, allowing for something to be built there.

“We need a building to hide the ugly views that opened up when the Esso building was torn down prematurely.”

Coun. Darryl Oakley said it was important that people have a little understanding with what the City was doing, trying to mitigate an environmental hazard and eyesore. There was going to be some cost and risk with that, but the City was looking at grants to assist, he said.

Coun. Albert Hoglund said he agreed that the City let the former owners of the lot off the hook.

East Kootenay gets more than $200,000 to fight invasive plants Courtesy Dave Paulsen

idahoweedaawreness.net

The EK Invasive Plant Council and the Regional District have received funds to help in the battle against invasive species such as spotted knapweed

The Invasive Plant Program identifies sites where invasive plant species have been found and responds rapidly to contain and eradicate them before they become established and start spreading.

This funding is in addition to the $735,000 already allocated by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2015-16.

An assessment of the potential avalanche risk from two avalanche paths in Jumbo Valley has determined that the majority of Jumbo Glacier Resort’s Service Building foundation is in a high risk zone.

“Dense flow impacts were observed with 10 to 15 metres of the building site,” states the report prepared by Dynamic Avalanche Consulting Inc. dated March 19th.

In the report, high risk is indicated by the term “Red Zone” while moderate risk is labelled “Blue Zone” and low risk labelled “White Zone.”

The remainder of the Service Building site is located in the Blue Zone. The resort’s Day Lodge foundation is mostly within the Blue Zone with a small portion in the White Zone.

Jumbo building foundations in avalanche risk zones: report

LE • REC YC

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into British Columbia from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage.

Some pose a health risk to people (e.g. skin irritation). Invasive plants can disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.

A view of the Jumbo Mountain area in the Purcell Mountains.

LE • REC YC

The provincial government is providing $194,000 to the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council and $23,300 to the Regional District of East Kootenay to help control the spread of invasive plants, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced Friday.

These are among the 29 grants totalling $1,702,000, that are being distributed province-wide to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist with their activities and support the objectives of the provincial Invasive Plant Program.

“Invasive species cause real damage to the environment, but also to our prosperity,” Bennett said. “They cause soil erosion, reduce biodiversity and are harmful to commercial crops. Controlling invasive species is an important part of investing in our region’s future.”

The funding will be invested in activities such as raising public awareness of invasive plants, surveying invasive plant populations and actively treating high-priority sites to control the spread of these plants.

lanche impacts were observed 80 metres from the Day Lodge, but there was no evidence to suggest that dense flow can reach the Day Lodge,” the report explains.

Both concrete foundations were poured last fall just before the resort’s Environmental Certificate came up for renewal. A decision by the BC Minister of Environment Mary Polak on whether or not Jumbo Glacier Resort achieved enough of a “substantial start” to renew the Environmental Certificate has been pending while an engineering avalanche risk evaluation has been underway.

Based on the above assessments, the report recommends that a building constructed on the Service Building foundation “not be used or routinely accessed during the winter season.”

Further recommendations include doors and windows facing away from avalanche flow direction and structural reinforcement that can withstand the impact of an avalanche.

With respect to the Day Lodge site, its use is

also subject to recommendations, namely a building with structural reinforcement for impact pressures (less than what’s recommended for the Service Building), explosive control with remote fixed exploders to reduce avalanche hazard, and an evacuation plan to reduce potential residual avalanche risk to workers and the public “within and outside the building.”

The report goes on to say that “protection of workers and the public in and around the Day Lodge will require implementation of an avalanche safety plan, which will include explosive avalanche control and an evacuation plan implemented by trained, experienced and licensed avalanche technicians.”

Other Canadian resorts are located in potential avalanche areas, including Sunshine Village’s day lodge and parking area in Banff, Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson and Mount Norquay in Banff.

The Jumbo Glacier Resort council meeting scheduled for this week has been cancelled.

Fate of 170 Wallinger still under debate

Plans are off the ground for a 2016 airshow, with a special teaser this summer that will include flyovers of two vintage WWII planes —a twin-engine B25 “Mitchell bomber, which visited Cranbrook last summer, and a B17 “Flying Fortress” bomber (pictured above).

Plans aloft for Cranbrook airshow in 2016 August 5 and 6, 2016 chosen as dates for Cranbrook International Airshow Arne Petryshen

Plans are off the ground for a 2016 airshow, with a special teaser this summer that will include flyovers of two vintage WWII planes — a twin-engine B25 “Mitchell bomber, which visited Cranbrook last summer, and a B17 “Flying Fortress” bomber.

“This is a new contractor we’re working with out of Calgary,” explained CAO Wayne Staudt at Monday’s meeting.

“He’s prepared to do some preliminary activity in 2015, including getting the Snowbirds flying over and some other things.”

The vintage planes will take to the air in mid-July, while the Snowbirds — accompanied by a a CF 18 fighter and a CF Buffalo aircraft — are scheduled for mid-August.

Planning for the Canadian Rockies International Airshow is underway and on Wednesday, April 22, the Cranbrook International Airshow Society will meet at 7 p.m. at the old airport firehall. Darrel Garton, chair of the society is inviting anyone interested to come to the meet-

ing. They are looking for volunteers from all over the area and will be going over the details of the airshow plans.

The Canadian Rockies International Airshow is planned for Aug. 5 and 6, 2016.

The upcoming teasers this summer are meant to help raise interest in the 2016 airshow.

The vintage World War 2 bombers are operated by the Commemorative Air Force, while the Canadian Forces operate the CF 18 and the Buffalo, as well as the Snowbirds. The August flyover will also include up to eight civilian aeronautical performers that will offer a sample of their performances.

Among the civilian performers that will be participating in the teaser are several performers from the Discovery Channel television series “Airshow”. That includes series star “Super Dave” Mathieson.

Additionally, the executive producer of Airshow, Mark Miller, a former resident of Cranbrook, will be in attendance this August to film the flyover as part of the television series.

As a fund raiser for the new local airshow society, WestJet has graciously donated a return ticket for two to any scheduled WestJet destination in Canada.

The society will hold a raffle for tickets this summer with the proceeds going into the development of the airshow.

Back in April 2014, the City of Cranbrook was contacted by Garton, a Calgary-based airline contractor with a passion for airshows. He wanted to establish a new not-for-profit society for producing the Canadian Rockies International Airshow.

The city noted that Garton is well connected in the airshow sector with extensive direct involvement in the production of airshows.

Garton has family ties to the Cranbrook area and is familiar with the Canadian Rockies International Airport (CRIA) as an airshow venue. City staff said that from the initial contact made to the city, the Tristan Chernove, Airport Managing Director and Kevin Weaver, Economic Development Officer for the city, have been working with Garton to advance the concept.

In October 2015, an independent non-profit-society was established for the airshow society.

The society is planning for the August 5 and 6, 2016 dates for the airshow.

It will feature civilian and military performers from across Canada and the U.S. The city is estimating the two day event will attract over 10,000 attendees. Significant planning still has to be undertaken by the society.

From Page 1 “I disagreed at the time and now the City has to clean it up,” he said.

“We’re in it now,” said Coun. Sandra Roberts. “This is just two people’s opinion.

They’re entitled to have an opinion, but we are looking at the best options. We are not going to do something if we don’t have the money.”

Coun. Bev Middlebrook said she agreed that Council had to concentrate on the present.

“It was a terrible eyesore and it would make a beautiful downtown park,” she said.

“The takeaway from

this is that having a basic overall plan in place is important,” McCormick said. “I think if we had spent a little more time up front figuring this out, it may have been different.”

McCormick says while community conversation is welcome, he wishes those conversations could have been had before when previous Council did the land swap and then tore the building down.

Council previously voted for the land swap in the spring of 2014, and then authorized spending $60,000 to tear down the building last fall.

Market Quotations

Mayor Don McCormick had voted in favour of the land swap but not in favour of tearing the building down at the time.

“I was in support of the land swap so we could get control of an eyesore. But we agreed at the time that we didn’t want taxpayers’ money used for the demolition. The money was supposed to come from the sale of the lots.

We’ve only sold one lot so we’re spending money we don’t’ have.

That’s exactly what we have to stop doing,” he said last fall prior to the election.

Wicked raised beds workshops in Kimberley and Cranbrook Turning repurposed freezers into your garden’s new best friend

With the gardening season upon us, Cranbrook Food Action Committee and Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook are pleased to announce that Luke Kimmel will be teaching 2 workshops: “Wicked Raised Beds” on April 25th 10am-4pm at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden and 26th at the Kimberley Open Gate Garden. The cost is $45 per person, with volunteer bursaries available for those who are restricted by the price.

Wicking beds are a unique and increasingly popular way to grow vegetables. They are self-contained raised beds with built-in water reservoirs.

Water is wicked from the reservoir up into the soil, making these beds self-watering with increased water efficiency. Because they are raised beds, they warm

KIMBERLEY NEWS April 19, 1956 Pioneer Firm Marks Birthday

A pioneer Kimberley business firm this week celebrates its 20th anniversary.

It was early in 1936 that the Otis Staples Lumber Company Limited disposed of their interests and the Fabro Building and Supply Company Limited, which took over the firm, was incorporated in April of that year.

At first, business was carried on in the original premises known as the lumber yard on Jennings Avenue. But with the growth of the community, a growth in which the Fabro organization played a leading part and in order to keep pace with present day merchandising methods, the company purchased the property

originally known as the Zak building at the corner of Ross Street and Wallinger Avenue.

The building was remodelled and opened for business in 1949.

Over the years since then, it has undergone extensive operations and only a year ago was completely remodelled to include a second floor showroom for building supplies that is the last word in modern display.

Today, the firm’s Wallinger Avenue premises are regarded as one of the East Kootenay’s leading business establishments.

Through their extensive contracting, lumbering and sawmill operations, a great many Kimberley people owe their livelihood to the Fabro concern.

Forty to fifty persons are steadily employed and at peak their payroll reaches 100. As contractors, they have built many Kimberley’s finest buildings including the

City Hall, Orpheum Theatre, the Medical Clinic, the extensive alterations and additions to the Hudson’s Bay Company’s store, the Canadian legion building, Kimberley Frosted Foods, the Lindsay Park and Chapman Camp schools as well as renovations and additions to the high school and Marysville school, countless private residences, commercial garages and the highly attractive remodelling of the Grill Cafe.

In addition, the Fabro Building and Supply Company Limited has carried out a major portion of the city’s extensive sidewalk construction program of the past few years.

Baby’s Cries Avert Tragedy

The cries of a 17 month old baby averted a tragedy here in the early hours of Monday morning.

Baby Dyne Torgeson’s restlessness awakened

his mother and father, city Clerk and Mrs. Don Torgeson, from unconsciousness occasioned by carbon monoxide poisoning and saved the family of five from certain death.

Now recovered from a harrowing experience, Mrs. Torgeson explained that a coal fire had been kept in the fireplace all day Sunday and when the family retired, was still glowing brightly. Mr. Torgeson partially closed the damper and it is surmised that later a downdraft closed it completely.

It was 2:50 a.m. when Dyne’s crying awakened his mother who, on getting up to attend to the youngster, was conscious of dizziness and violet chest pains. She finally aroused her husband who went in to the baby while Mrs. Torgeson told their little girl, Donna, to come to her room.

The Way it Was; 1956 From Page 4 “Donna cried ‘Mummy I can’t,’ and she was trying to crawl across the floor but she finally collapsed,” said Mrs. Torgeson in recounting the experience.

“I was conscious that I had to get help but couldn’t stand. I was crawling along the floor when I saw Don stretched out. He appeared to be completely unconscious,” she went on, explaining that she finally reached the telephone but could not use it.

Fortunately Mrs. Torgeson was able to contact Mr. and Mrs. Jim McIndoe, who occupy the downstairs suite at the Torgeson home, by means of a telephone buzzer and the McIndoes were quickly on the scene summoning medical help and the Fire Department’s emergency equipment.

Dr. J.M. Shaw, who responded, declared later that another fifteen minutes “might have been too late” as the whole family was in advanced stages of coal gas poisoning.

Back in his office at the city hall Wednesday Mr. Torgeson pointed out that there is an ever-present danger from fumes and suggested that all who use

coal exercise care when leaving an unattended fire.

in 1905, and settled on a farm in that district.

Later they moved to the Cranbrook district and established the Mountain View Dairy Farm on St. Mary’s Prairie, where they made their home until moving to Marysville in 1946.

Mr. and Mrs. McClure celebrated their Golden Wedding on February 8, 1955.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Alberta for over 40 years, is in third place.

The Globe and Mail reported that a poll released last Wednesday sampled 3,121 people and found the Wildrose Party and the NDP tied in the lead, each with 24 per cent of the voters, while the PCs came in third at 18 per cent.

The Conservatives in third place! And one of the parties tied for first is the NDP? In Alberta? That’s craziness!

It is doubtful that a minor gaffe like BYWP will make much of a difference to the Wildrose Party’s fortunes in the long run.

But Alberta voters have tantalized us with the possibility of change before. Anyone remember the last election when all polls indicated that the province would go Wildrose and the voters collectively gagged at the last moment and returned the Conservatives to power?

And that gave the province Alison Redford in all her Marie Antoinetteish glory.

Even though Redford is long gone, her effect on the Conservative Party in Alberta remains. Will Alberta veer left or even further right? Don’t know, but it’s going to be interesting to watch.

I might even have an election return watching party on May 5. Bring your own pie. Unlike Rick Strankman, I don’t care who makes it.

COTR Hosts Trades Event For Grade 9 Students College of the Rockies hosted 48 grade nine students from the region on Wednesday, April 9th for a full day of trades-related activities. The event saw students from Cranbrook, Jaffray, Fernie and Elkford gathered at the Cranbrook main campus as part of the YES 2 IT (Youth Exploring Skills to Industry Training) program.

Students had the opportunity to practice their wood and metal-working skills in the carpentry shop building bookshelves before trying their hand at wiring lights and switches in the electrical shop.

The day concluded with a competition in nailing spikes into a beam.

Prior to the shop activities, WorksafeBC Safety Officer Jeff McKay gave a vivid presentation on workplace hazards, safe practices, and the rights of young workers.

College of the Rockies welding, carpentry, and electrical instructors, along with grade 12 ACE IT students and apprentices provided instruction and mentoring for the participants.

College of the Rockies’ Regional Transition Coordinator Brian Conrad says, “This was an excellent event that was useful in exposing students to and exciting them about the skilled trades prior to their entry into senior secondary. It was also an opportunity to showcase what trades opportunities are available to them at the College of the Rockies.”

EARTH DAY 2015

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

Going green makes financial $ense Being “green” is not just a buzzword today but also a way of life for an increasing number of people. The benefits of making some environmental strides not only extend to safeguarding resources for future generations.

For those who have not yet embraced environmentally friendly actions, perhaps the financial rewards of doing so may be the catalyst for change.

A side effect of being environmentally conscious often can be saving money. In fact, depending on the initiatives taken, savings can be anywhere from

a few dollars to several thousand. Naturally, some eco-changes do require an initial investment, such as purchasing a new energy-saving device or appliance. Many others do not and only save you money.

Whether you’re looking for tried-andtrue ways to go green, relatively easy ways to save money or both, the following are some ideas that work. · Cook more meals at home. Convenience

meals may be easy, but they’re more expensive than cooking fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What’s more, convenience foods tend to be overly packaged and may be shipped great distances. Simply packing a lunch for work each day can save you around $100 per month. · Find a carpooling buddy. Share your ride to work with one or more people, and not only are you saving fuel, wear and tear on your car and possible toll charges, but you will save money as well. Some calculations paint a savings of around $650 a year for carpoolers who share their ride and gas bill with only one friend. That may be incentive enough to split commuting costs and tasks. · Try public transportation. If you are more of a commuting loner

or do not have anyone nearby to split the ride, try switching to public transportation, where available. Not only will you reduce your carbon footprint by using mass transit, biking or walking to work, but you will also save thousands on trips that would depreciate your vehicle’s value. · Make smarter buys.

So many items are available at the click of a button or by visiting mass retail chains. However, not every purchase is a smart buy - even if it costs less. Some cheap consumer goods are not worth the smaller price tag. They’re produced overseas in areas with lax environmental regulations and then may be shipped thousands of miles. Sometimes buying more expensive, locally produced items makes better financial sense in the long run. These products will last longer and not need replacing in mere months.

· Rent, borrow and give. Most people are at fault for purchasing a gadget, tool or small appliance they had every intention of putting to good use.

But after one use, that item is now collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. Instead of always thinking to buy first, save money by investigating rental agreements or borrowing belongings from others. Plenty of people have equally dusty items sitting in their homes that they’ll likely lend out. The cost is considerably less than purchasing new, especially for a one-time use item.

· Do an energy audit.

Your home is probably wasting money right now. Simple improvements that make a home more efficient can save the average homeowner considerably. Caulking, sealing windows, ensuring heating and cooling systems are working efficiently and a load of other minor repairs can save on energy costs. Additionally, you may be eligible for home tax credits.

· Grow a garden. Produce prices continue to climb. An easy way to save money and have ultimate control over what fertilizers and pest remedies are used on fruits and vegetables is to grow them yourself. Save hundreds on salad greens, tomatoes, potatoes, and strawberries.

Plus, a home garden offers the convenience of fresh produce close by when it’s needed.

If you and members of your household have yet to embrace recycling, you’re not only increasing greenhouse gas emissions, but also you may even be breaking the law.

If your community sponsors a recycling program, simply separate recyclable items from the rest of your trash and leave them out on the curb on designated pickup days.

If no such program exists in your community, separate items to recycle and periodically bring them to your local recycling center, which may even pay you for certain items. · Compost food waste. Instead of discarding leftovers in the garbage can, compost that wasted food so it does not end up in landfills, where it will contribute to methane gas in the air. Composting food waste can improve the soil in your yard and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it also makes you feel better that you’re making use of wasted food that would otherwise go straight into the garbage can.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions may seem like a

also lowering their utility bills should only consider those products that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label. · Revisit your cooling and heating habits.

Home cooling and heating systems consume a considerable amount of energy, and inefficient use of these systems is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. But cutting back on these emissions does not mean you have to sweat out sultry summer afternoons or hide under the covers upon the arrival of winter. Replacing air filters according to manufacturer guidelines and using programmable thermostats so you aren’t heating and cooling your house when no one is home are some easy ways to dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that emanate from your heating and cooling systems.

Such efficient use of these systems also saves you money on your monthly energy bills. · Recycle. Recycling can greatly reduce your home’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Many communities now mandate that residents recycle plastics, glass containers and paper goods like newspapers and magazines.

Recycling can be so simple that it’s easy to forget just how beneficial it can be.

When products are recycled, that reduces the need to extract resources, manufacture replacement goods and dispose of products, each of which contributes to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

S AY

Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, these gases are significant contributors to climate change.

While climate change poses a considerable threat, it’s important to note that much of the increase in greenhouse gases over the last 150 years can be traced to human activities. By changing certain behaviors and practices, men and women can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The following are a few simple changes men and women can make in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their homes. · Buy ENERGY STAR® products.

A 2012 report from the United States Energy Information Administration noted that electricity production generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. The ENERGY STAR® label indicates products have been tested and approved as energy-efficient, meaning they consume less electricity than other similar products. The ENERGY STAR® label can be found on a host of home appliances, including lighting, heating and cooling equipment and electronics.

Happy Earth Day! Recycling 101 - The Basics

Recycling Electronics & Appliances

Did you know you can use ANY yellow bin you see around the East Kootenay?

With over 600 bins available, recycling has never been easier!

The environmental handling “fee” you pay on electronics in BC are managed by Encorp and a wide range of electronics are accepted for recycling.

Here are some quick tips to remember:

The electronics & small appliance recycling depot is: Cranbrook Bottle Depot 1125 Industrial Rd #3 Phone: 250-417-0306

• All plastics MUST be clean and have a number between 1 and 6. That number must be in the triangular recycling symbol. If there is no number, it should go in the garbage if it can’t be reused.

• All plastic grocery/shopping bags can be recycled -- even if they don’t have a number on them. All other plastics must be numbered • Styrofoam CANNOT be recycled in the yellow bins (even though it’s marked #6), but can go to the MMBC packaging area at the Cranbrook Bottle Depot.

• Tin cans should be well rinsed with labels removed, if possible.

• Cardboard should be flattened to save bin space.

• Foil covered or waxy papers cannot be recycled. Milk cartons can be taken to the MMBC Packaging area at the Cranbrook Bottle Depot for recycling.

Where to Take Used Paint Paint and aerosol paints can be taken to the Cranbrook Bottle Depot (1125 Industrial Rd #3) and New & Nearly New in Kimberley (1685 Warren Ave).

Containers must be sealed in paint containers and clearly labeled. If paint cans are dried out and there is no liquid left, the cans can go in the garbage.

What to do with Packaging Multi-Materials BC is a non-profit stewardship organization that oversees the new product stewardship program for printed paper and packaging.

Their only depot in the East Kootenay is the Cranbrook Bottle Depot.

The College of the Rockies Avalanche Athletics program hosted its annual awards banquet Friday, April 17, at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook, honouring the best and brightest from the 2014-15 PACWEST season.

“It’s been a great year for our student athletes, in particular, our women’s team,” said Cori Andrichuk, manager of campus life and athletics at College of the Rockies, as she addressed those in attendance Friday night. “The student athletes could not have done it without the help of the coaches, the parents, the volunteers, the sponsors, the College of the Rockies, our team of gym staff…It’s been spectacular.”

Alexa Koshman and Kelsey Thompson brought home the biggest hardware hauls on the women’s side of the festivities, with each claiming four awards, including a share of the Lady Avs Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Koshman and Thompson finished the season atop the PACWEST ranks with 308 digs each.

Thompson also took home honours as team MVP, Offensive Player of the Year as well as a PACWEST First All Star Team nod.

The 2014-15 season marked the second consecutive year Thompson, a native of Vernon, B.C., was named both team MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.

“As a coach, you’re always looking for someone to step up, someone to lead, someone to do the little things,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin Friday. “But when it comes down to crunch time, you’re looking at your setter and you’re going, ‘Give her the ball.’”

Zurrin was, of course, speaking about Thompson -- his MVP and go-to left-side hitter -who helped fuel the Lady Avs offense.

Thompson led the entire PACWEST in kills through the season, crushing 286 through 84 sets, guiding the women’s program to the PACWEST Provincial Volleyball Championships for the first time in program history.

Koshman filled her mantle with honours as team Rookie of the Year and Avalanche Player of the Year in addition to earning a PACWEST All Rookie Team nod.

“We had nine rookies this year…and at times we had four, if not five, on the court at all times,” Zurrin said. “To choose a [top] rookie, very tough, because we had so many that did so many things that contributed.”

For the men, Brett Carter, Ben Smith and Curtis Stockton each claimed two awards.

Smith was recognized for his performance both in the classroom, on the court and in the community as the Avalanche Player of the Year, backed by a PACWEST Academic Excellence Award.

Stockton earned his

second consecutive team MVP title, while also being named to the PACWEST First All Star Team.

The third-year and native of Melbourne, Australia, led the PACWEST with 377 kills through 90 sets in the 2014-15 season.

Carter was named team Rookie of the Year, while also earning the Sun City Coachlines First Year Student Athlete Award.

“I’d like to thank the guys for a wonderful season,” Avalanche coach Steve Kamps said as he addresses the banquet Friday night. “I know it was frustrating for all of us not to make it, but sometimes with failure there are things to learn, lessons to learn. I hope we all can look back on the season as a positive experience.

“One of my goals or philosophies is to turn these guys into men and to give them skills they can take from the volleyball court into everyday life. Even though we may not have been as successful as we wanted on the volleyball court, I know these gentlemen are going to move on and do some amazing things in the future.”

The men missed the PACWEST Provincial Volleyball Championships, finishing 5-19 through the 2014-15 campaign.

Atlanta Braves get by Toronto Blue Jays Dan R alph Canadian Press

TORONTO - Jonny Gomes drove in four runs to as the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 Sunday.

Gomes brought home three runs on a double and another with a sacrifice fly as Atlanta (8-4) took two-ofthree from Toronto (67). The Blue Jays dropped to 2-5 on their 10-game homestand.

Right-hander Shelby Miller (2-0) got the win, allowing two runs and

five hits over six innings while striking out six and walking three.

Toronto native Russell Martin delivered the big blow off Miller, a two-run double in the sixth, and threw out two Braves baserunners to delight the Rogers Centre gathering of 44,794.

Left-hander Daniel Norris (1-1) took the loss, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits with two walks and a strikeout over 2 2/3 innings.

Left-hander Jeff Francis of North Delta,

B.C., whose contract was added from triple-A Buffalo earlier Sunday, started the fifth to become the 22nd Canadian to play for Toronto.

The 10-year veteran pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits while fanning three and walking two before giving way to righthander Roberto Osuna.

Gomes put Atlanta ahead 3-0 in the first with a two-out, bases-loaded double off Norris. The Jays starter gave up a leadoff single

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: For many years, I have heard about the dangers of secondhand smoke. I am a non-smoker, but was married to a smoker for 13 years and have asthma.

Now that pot is being legalized in some states, including where I live, what are the dangers of secondhand pot smoke? I haven’t heard a word about it. Are the states just looking for additional tax revenue and keeping it out of the news? -- Concerned Breather in Oregon Dear Breather: According to the American Lung Association, inhaling smoke is harmful whether it’s from cigarettes, pot or burning wood. Marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke, and pot smokers generally inhale it for a longer period of time. Secondhand marijuana smoke contains the same ingredients.

How dangerous is it to non-smokers? A 2014 study found that blood-vessel function in lab rats dropped by 70 percent after 30 minutes of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke and hadn’t returned to normal even after 40 minutes. And the rats suffered the same effects even if the pot contained no THC. So, you might not get a “contact high,” but with continued exposure, you could suffer impaired lung and blood-vessel function.

Marijuana is much stronger today than it was 40 years ago. More studies need to be done, obviously, but if you are regularly exposed to smoke of any kind, you are likely to develop a problem. Steer clear.

Dear Annie: I am responding to “B” about unsolicited phone calls. I recently fell victim to such a scam. I purchased a lifetime repair contract for my computer. A month later, I received a call saying they were going out of business and needed to return my money.

I foolishly let them gain control of my computer, where they claim to have accidentally “deposited” an amount greater than what they owed me. They then said I needed to send a MoneyGram for the overpayment.

I had the person on my cellphone when I went to a MoneyGram location.

The woman there told me to hang up and informed me that it was a scam. I then went to my bank and was able to protect my account. I also reported it to the police.

On my way to the bank, I received 17 calls from the scammer asking why I hadn’t sent the money. The specialist at the bank told him to stop calling. It was too late to reverse the charges on my credit card for the original contract, but the bank canceled that card and issued a new one. Here is how I stopped these calls: 1. I blocked the numbers they were calling from on my cellphone and my home phone.

2. I set “call rejection” on my home phone so if anyone called from a “private” or “unknown” number, they would be required to unblock their number and call back.

I hope others learn from my experience. -- A Lesson Well Learned Dear Lesson: Thank you for sharing.

We received a great many letters with examples of how these unscrupulous people work and will print more in future columns. Stay tuned.

Phillips, Kenneth Arthur 1947-2015 With deep sadness and great regret we announce the passing of Ken Phillips. He leaves behind his wife Renee, mother-inlaw, Mary Phillips and father-in-law, Graham Phillips. At the time of his passing there were no known siblings.

He was an avid hunter and one of the founders of the Yahk Raft Races. He was a lover of all animals and around the Phillips household he was known as the cat whisperer. Ken was a cherished friend to those who loved him.

A celebration of his life was held on April 17th.
