A look at RMI funding Don McCormick trying to get changes to Resort Municipality funding C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley is designated a Resort Municipality by the government of British Columbia and as such, receives yearly funding for tourism infrastructure projects.

It has long been a pet peeve of Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick the manner in which Resort Municipality funding is allocated, and he has embarked on a mission to change it.

The first step was getting some consensus from other resort municipalities, and with seven of the 14 in the Kootenays, McCormick was able to ascertain that other communities would welcome a change as well.

However, the big factor is Whistler. It’s the biggest resort in B.C. and it receives the lion’s share of the yearly funding.

McCormick met with Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden last week.

“It was a good meeting considering I was basically saying ‘will you give up some money for the rest of us?’,” McCormick said.

However, he says there is a way that Whistler would win as well with a change to Resort funding.

“Whistler is a true resort. Everything is built around infrastructure. A ton went in because of the Olympics. But now they need to use the money to get people there.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Kimberley Pipe Band plans 90th anniversary party C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The venerable Kimberley Pipe Band will turn 90 years old in 2017 — quite a remarkable anniversary.

Kimberley residents may remember the Pipe Band’s 80th anniversary in 2007, when they threw a Tattoo at the Civic Centre attended by a number of different bands.

For the 90th they want to do the same thing again, maybe even bigger and better.

But planning has to start now in order to book the various pipe and military bands, and the Pipe Band is looking for a community champion to oversee the big event.

“We are starting the planning now but we’d really like to find a volunteer to help us organize it,” said Liela Cooper from the Kimberley Pipe Band. “We’d

like to have ten bands, both pipe and military and highland dancing. We need to book soon because everyone does their schedules well ahead of time.”

Cooper explained that there will be plenty of sub-committees to assist the chair person, but someone is needed to tie everything together.

The Pipe Band is looking at August of 2017 for the Tattoo, as there is a window during that time of no other conflicting highland events in B.C. and Alberta.

“Maybe we could even tie it in to the Arts Festival,” she said.

“We are open to ideas.”

If you think you could help out, call Liela at 250-427-5642.

The Band has already started fundraising with a 50/50 draw. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold and you have an opportu- Kimberley’s Pipe Band will celebrate their 90th birthday in 2017. nity to win $10,000.

Ben Rogers Band to perform at the Byng Ferdy Belland

“I love being on the road,” says Vancouver’s a l t e r nat i v e - c ou nt r y folk-rocker Ben Rogers.

“Of late I’ve been mostly touring with the band, and it has been an absolute blast, but I also don’t mind the solitude of touring solo. Flat tires, bad diet, scuzzy hotel rooms and unwanted encounters with humans, beasts or otherwise could be regarded as the downsides of touring. But there are ups and downs to every walk of life. The way I see it, as long as it makes a good story? Then it’s worthwhile.”

And speaking of worthwhile, Ben Rogers and his band promise to make their coming performance at the legendary Byng Roadhouse on the evening of Wednesday May 20th as worthwhile as it gets.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Rogers defies his towering surroundings of glass and steel by embracing the

inspirations of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, George Jones, and Tom Waits into a unique modern style which the Georgia Straight describes as “...a dark charisma you have to experience live to truly appreciate.”

Releasing his first album in 2013, Rogers has rapidly accelerated through the ranks of the Canadian national scene (sharing stages with Gordie Johnson and Tim Hus) and has toured extensively across the US and the UK. Rogers will be touring extensively throughout the summer in advance of the Fall 2015 release of his new album, “The Bloodred Yonder.” Stay tuned!

Rogers explains his songwriting process.

“There is no invariable method,” he says, “save that I write on a daily basis. I regard inspiration in the selfsame way; A day isn’t complete without writing, and the motivation

Ben Rogers and his band hit the stage at the legendary Byng Roadhouse in Downtown Cranbrook this coming Wednesday May 20th; showtime 9 pm. to do so. It’s true that anything can provoke a song, and I find the provocation’s either subservient or paramount to the finished product. Or sometimes

the song’s origins are better left a secret. Any way you look at it, I write every song like it could be my last.”

Rogers was asked of his overview of Vancou-

ver’s music scene, and his role within it.

“The alt-country/ roots/folk world is more of a state of mind than a ‘world’ or ‘scene,’” Rogers says. “I love Vancou-

ver, and I’ve received plenty of support in Vancouver that I’m grateful for. But for live music in general? It’s the kind of place where you can play all you like,

but you can’t truly thrive until you leave it.

It’s getting harder and harder to find a venue that doesn’t kick you out by 11 pm to get turned over to the DJs... and 11 pm is when a show should start! And don’t get me wrong; I’ve got absolutely nothing against DJs ... except the hacks who make iTunes playlists and turn EQ knobs to make it look like they’re actually doing something. And I don’t really blame the venue owners. The price of rent and the ridiculous liquor laws and tariffs in BC makes a steep overhead to deal with. But hey, like Corinne Raymond says: there will always be a small time.”

Ben Rogers has this to say for any other burgeoning singer-songwriters out there: “I’d echo Roger Miller’s advice: you can’t roller-skate in a buffalo herd...but you can be happy if you’ve a mind to.”

B.C. axes Agricultural Land Reserve boss Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has “released” Agricultural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his five-year

contract until it ends in November, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said Thursday.

Bullock will be replaced effective immediately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank

Letnick said with new regulations taking effect to manage the Agricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO. The B.C. government has been at odds with Bullock since early in his five-year term, when he stopped appointing

commissioners to six regional panels around the province.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who pushed through the two-zone system under the auspices of his “core review” of government services, said a year ago that Bullock found the regional panels to be “a pain in the ass” and preferred to run the commission from its head office in Burnaby. So the government mandated regional appointments

From Page 1 “But 70 per cent of Resort Municipality funding must be spent on capital projects. Only 30 per cent can be used for softer expenses, say ski shuttles.

“Whistler is getting $7 million a year and they are having huge difficulty spending it inside the rules. The majority of the rest of us just don’t have enough RMI funds. Kimberley gets about $100,000 a year. Whistler is big, thousands of beds.

They get two and half million tourists a year.

“We don’t begrudge them the money they get. The goal here is to get Whistler to redistribute some of that capital.

We need to convince the province to loosen up

the rules on how the money can be spent.”

McCormick says that with all issues around the HST in 2011, the funding formula changed from a hotel tax to a grant.

“The government puts $10.5 million in a pot each year. In the last couple of years, as tourism grows, the amount we are raising based on hotel tax has gone over $10.5 million. This year the province has clawed back the over-spending by 17 per cent. Kimberley went from $100,000 to $83,000. Whistler went from $7 million to under $6 million. That money they just lost, I hope could be distributed to the rest of us.”

McCormick has spo-

“But it’s not his Ministry. He is interested in helping.”

There is an upcoming meeting of mountain resort municipalities in June and the goal of that meeting will be to come up with a proposal the group can take to the provincial government.

“The current RMI agreement expires in 2017,” McCormick said.

“We want to have something to present so we can say ‘here’s what we think will work’. Even if it’s just going back to the tax. We need to have a proposal. Otherwise the provincial government will just say, ‘here’s how it’s going to be’.”

Okay, now what?

Buddy Camps, that’s what. Track and field, too.

Another eight classes went out to Wycliffe Park to participate in Buddy Camps this week.

We did a lot of team building games and activities, learned about “The bear necessities”, the importance of the circle of life to our deer population and Miss Dana taught us about the importance of replacing what we take from nature. We also built sculptures with the available resources. It was great interacting with our buddies.

Track and field season is gearing up. Every Friday afternoon, our students get an opportunity to try all of the events leading up to the school track meet. Long and high jumps, running events, shot put and discus and the triple jump for grades 6 and 7 are the activities they will practice so they can choose their favorites for the main event in a few weeks. We do need parent volunteers to help us out with our Friday sessions and for our school wide meet on May 28th. Students who win at the school level, go on to compete in the district meet in Invermere. Good luck to everyone.

Beauty and the Beast is coming to McKim from May 20-23rd. Selkirk and McKim are producing this musical under the direction of Mr. Heyde. Tickets are available from the offices at both schools.

Adults are $15 and students and seniors are $10. We have a special price for children under 5…FREE! On Friday, some of our more fortunate classes enjoyed the company of a famous author. Stuart Ross told stories and explained what it takes to become an author. We were fortunate to have him at our school.

Selkirk students ready to present Beauty and the Beast Courtney Cr awford For the Bulletin

M

y name is Courtney Crawford, and I am playing Gaston in Selkirk Secondar y School’s production of Beauty and the Beast.

As many of you may have seen the Disney movie, you would know that Gaston is an aggressive, burly, male character.

So it may be difficult to picture a girl playing the iconic role. In our version, we have changed the character to a female, so Gaston still lacks manners and is just as uncivil, but is portrayed as a woman. Throughout this experience it has been really challeng-

“Mostly it has been quite interesting to challenge everyone’s expectations of a movie that everyone is familiar with” Courtney Crawford ing to play a character so polar opposite from myself.

Mostly it has been quite interesting to challenge everyone’s expectations of a movie that everyone is familiar with. For this show there are many

young cast members and we also expect many young audience members, and for them, facing stereotypes can have a negative effect on their concept of social justice because they can be easily influenced.

It’s quite refreshing to know that what we’ve done with the show is reinforcing positive messages for children and really all types of people.

Our show clearly demonstrates that women can occupy a variety of roles in society, both in the public and private sphere.

Women can be powerful and respected, cruel and kind, represented in our show both by a determined, though ultimately cruel female Gaston

and a strong willed, misfit Belle. The entire performance shows that all people are capable of unexpected things.

It has been an amazing few months working with some incredible people and I am so excited to share the show with everyone. Beauty and the Beast plays at McKim Theatre in Kimberley from May 20-23 at 7:30 pm nightly, with shows at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm on May 23rd.

Tickets are available at McKim School office in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook, and at the door.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, and for the May 23rd matinée children 5 and under are free.

Letters to the Editor

On behalf of the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH), we would like to recognize and congratulate the Invermere Health Care Auxiliary (IHCA) for the recent and very significant donation of $50,000 for health care equipment associated with the EKFH’s ICU redevelopment fund-raising campaign.

The IHCA has an outstanding history of funding medical equipment, patient comforts and providing scholarships in the Columbia Valley and for also making substantial contributions through EKFH for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

It is amazing to realize that these funds are only made possible thanks to the work and outstanding effort by the volunteer members of the IHCA who work at the IHCA Thrift Shop.

We hope the community will join us in celebrating the

IHCA volunteers and the organization for yet another significant contribution to the health care offered at the regional hospital.

City Info

My policy when I was Mayor was that every letter and email sent to me would get a response, and I intend to take that same approach when I am your Member of Parliament.

A recent letter to the editor asked for information on several things: How much did the Elizabeth Lake Welcome to Cranbrook sign cost? Council approved $60,000 for the sign and it cost $59,868.31. It was designed and constructed by the same two talented local artists who did the Spirit Tree in Clocktower Square and the Ktunaxa Reconciliation sculp-

ture at the airport. The theme behind the rock sculpture is that while we live in the mountains our strength is in our people. Can you spot the faces in the rocks? While I can read the sign both day and night I agree that larger letters would be beneficial.

How much did the Fire Hall Fountain cost? The fountain was originally approved by Mayor Manjak and his Councilors as part of the project to renovate the 2nd Street South Fire Hall into a permanent home for Fire and Rescue Services. Its construction was well under way when I became Mayor. Cost including staff labour was $47,085.13. I believe it will become one of the features that our citizens take their visitors to see. It is designed in the shape of a Maltese Cross, an important symbol for Fire Services around the world.

Are there too many benches along the newly paved 14th Avenue? In my view likely yes.

I asked staff to monitor the use of the 11 benches and, if they are not all being utilized, relocate some of them to the many places where we need benches in Cranbrook.

The vegetation along 14th Avenue are bio-swales, and are used to divert and utilize runoff water that used to race down 14th Avenue creating flooding problems down the hill. They work, but they need regular weeding and litter clean-up to make sure they are visually attractive.

We were looking at introducing roundabouts at dangerous intersections because ICBC says they are the safest way to go and they move traffic more quickly than 4 way stops.

ICBC believes in them enough to offer cities like Cranbrook significant grant money to build them.

Thank you Gary Doll for providing an opportunity to continue to keep our community informed!

The Cranbrook/Kimberley Relay for Life is fast approaching on Saturday, June 6th at Rotary Park. stories at our Camp Goodtimes summer camp.

Your donation is helping the young mother who receives support through our CancerConnection program; her Cancerconnection match, a survivor of the same type of breast cancer, phones her after each of her chemotherapy treatments—they talk, cry, and laugh together.

Your donation is helping the husband and grandfather who phones our Cancer Information Service toll-free line to get the most accurate and up-todate treatment options for his specific diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Your donation is helping the brother who is participating in a clinical trial for a new type of treatment which is funded through Canadian Cancer Society research dollars. Participating in this clinical trial is giving this man and his family a chance at improved quality of life and longer survivorship— perhaps most importantly, it’s giving him and his family the gift of hope.

Your donation is helping the young child who has been diagnosed with leukemia and needs to be away from home for weeks at a time for treatment. His parents are receiving assistance through our Finan-

cial support program, helping to cover the costs of travel to treatment and accommodations while at treatment.

Who is your donation helping?

It is helping the Canadian Cancer Society fight cancer by working to prevent all types of cancer, by funding the best cancer research across Canada, and by supporting individuals and families who are experiencing cancer.

Join us in Rotary Park on Saturday June 6 from 4:30 – 10:30pm for the 16th Annual Cranbrook/Kimberley Relay For Life. There will be food, entertainment, activities for all ages, prizes and raffles. Our theme this year is “Filling the pot of gold at the end of the cancer rainbow” – many cancers have a color – which one will you fight? We will fill Rotary park with all the colors of the rainbow, and fill the pot of gold to help us fight them all!

We also want to invite all cancer Survivors – whether it’s been one day, one year or several decades since you first heard those words to join us for the Survivors victory lap at the start of our event. Help spread your message of hope to others facing a cancer journey! For more information on how to sign up as a team, participant, survivor or to volunteer for the event, please call Lori at 250426-8916 or visit HYPERLINK “http://www.relayforlife.ca” www.relayforlife.ca .

Another Bush damaged by Iraq

H

e just misheard the question. A basically friendly interviewer on Fox News asked Jeb Bush, now seeking the Republican nomination for the US presidency: “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the invasion (of Iraq)?” And he replied: “I would have.” When the storm of protest, even from Republicans, swept over him, he explained that he thought the interviewer had said: “Knowing what we KNEW THEN.” An easy mistake to make.

“Know now” sounds an awful lot like “knew then”. Besides, Jeb Bush is on record as claiming that he is Hispanic (on a 2009 voter-registration application), so the poor man was struggling with his second language. If only she had asked the question in Spanish, he would have understood it perfectly.

Enough. When you listen to the entire interview, it’s clear that Bush didn’t want to say a flat “No” to her question, because that would be a condemnation of his brother’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

But as soon as he could, he switched to talking about the “intelligence failures” that misled his brother into invading the wrong country. Anybody can make a mistake. So nobody’s to blame.

But the intelligence wasn’t “faulty”; it was cooked to order. There was no plausible intelligence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so the US intelligence services were told to “find” some. There were no Islamist terrorists in Iraq either: Saddam Hussein hunted down and killed

anybody suspected of being an Islamist activist, because the Islamists wanted to kill him.

The US Central Intelligence Agency agency tried very hard to create a link between al Qaeda, the organisation responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and Iraq. The only thing they came up with, however, was a rumour that a little-known Islamist from Jordan called Abu Musab al Zarqawi who knew Osama bin Laden had been in Baghdad receiving treatment for Gwynne wounds received in Afghanistan in May-NoDyer vember 2002. (He was actually in Iran at that time.)

If you were on the White House staff in early 2003, you HAD to know that the “intelligence” you were using to justify the invasion of Iraq was false, because you were one of the people demanding that the spooks manufacture “evidence” for it. The decision itself had been taken even before Bush’s election in 2000 and the 9/11 attacks in 2001, for reasons that had nothing to do with terrorism.

We don’t yet know just how disastrous the invasion of Iraq was, because the damage is still accumulating. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the man who now rules “Islamic State”, the terrorist-ruled new country that occupies the easten half of Syria and the western third of Iraq, started fighting Americans as part of the Iraqi resistance in 2003.

By 2006 at the latest, he had joined the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

group then called Al Qaeda in Iraq, which was largely made up of jihadis from other Arab countries who had flocked to Iraq to fight the infidel invaders. And the founder of Al Qaeda in Iraq was none other than Abu Musab al Zarqawi — who parlayed the reputation as a major jihadi leader that the US intelligence services gave him into a real leadership position in the resistance.

Through the years that followed, that organisation gained experience in guerilla war and terrorism, and through several changes of name and leadership (Zarqawi was killed in 2006) it ultimately morphed into Islamic State. Baghdadi was with it all the way, and now styles himself “Caliph Ibrahim”, demanding the loyalty and obedience of all Muslims everywhere.

So we owe a lot to the “neo-cons” in George Bush’s administration who pushed for the invasion of Iraq: people like Dick Cheney (Vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (Secretary of Defense), and Paul Wolfowitz (Undersecretary of Defense). They just used the 9/11 attacks as a vehicle for their pre-existing Iraq invasion plans.

It was Wolfowitz, above all, who worked tirelessly to link Iraq to terrorism. And guess who is the most prominent name on Jeb Bush’s current team of foreign policy advisers (apart from George W Bush himself). Why, it’s the very same Paul Wolfowitz. The problem with Jeb Bush is not the foolish answers he gives. It’s the company he keeps.

Disappointment in San Diego

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit and the Idaho Vandals season ends at NCAA Regionals Taylo r R o cc a Sports Editor

Jared du Toit expected the competition was going to be tough and he certainly wasn’t wrong with that assertion.

Looking to advance to the NCAA Men’s National Golf Championship, du Toit and the Idaho Vandals ran into a brick wall at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., this past weekend, as their season came to end after finishing in a tie for 10th place at the NCAA San Diego Regional.

“This year, we had a really good chance with Aaron [Cockerill] being a senior and playing well all year,” du Toit said over the phone from the side of the highway Monday afternoon as he ventured back to Canada. “He’s been steady for us. I felt like we had five real solid guys this year. It would have been nice to make run, so it’s definitely disappointing to end a tournament early.” du Toit finished the

tournament in a tie for 25th at five-over par.

The native of Kimberley, B.C., opened the event with a twoover 74, before firing a one-under 71 on day two. A tough final round saw the Big Sky Conference Championship Player of the Year shoot a four-over 76 to close out the tourney Saturday.

“We all kind of had our individual struggles,” du Toit said. “For me, first of all, I hit the ball well but probably chipped some of the worst [I had] all year.

You can’t really expect to score when you’ve got that kind of game going on.

“None of us really had our ‘A’ game at all the whole week. It was tough to go out that way.”

Only the top five teams at the regional tournament, along with the lowest-scoring individual not on one of those teams, advance to the NCAA Men’s National Golf Championship, scheduled for May 29 to June 3 at The Concession Golf Club

in Bradenton, Fla. Advancing to the national championship from the San Diego Regional is the University of Oklahoma (first, 21under), Arizona State University (second, one-under), Georgia Institute of Technology (third, five-over), University of Georgia (fourth, six-over) and the University of Virginia (fifth, 10-over).

The lowest-scoring individual, Gudmundur Kristjansson (sixth individually, three-under) of East Tennessee State University, also advanced.

Jon Rahm (Arizona State), the number-two ranked men’s amateur golfer in the world, cruised to the individual title after carding a tournament-best 10under. After opening the event with a oneover 73, Rahm ran away from the leaderboard over the final 36 holes, firing an eight-under 64 in the second round and a cool three-under 69 during final-round action.

Despite the disappointing results, the

File

The season came to an end for Jared du Toit and the Idaho Vandals, after finishing in a tie for 10th place at the NCAA San Diego Regional. opportunity to participate at a high-scale NCAA event was a positive one for du Toit, who looks to build on that experience this summer.

“The golf course was unbelievable,” du Toit said. “It’s one of the

most prestigious in San Diego, so it was really cool that we got to play that. It was in really nice shape.

“It was a fun week.

The last week with the guys before the summer — we all enjoyed each other’s company.”

du Toit has a pretty busy tournament schedule through the summer months, one that will take him across the continent to places like Rochester, N.Y., Washington, Oregon, Toronto and more.

The sophomore will

return to Kimberley, which will serve as his launching pad for the summer months, before he heads back south of the border hoping to chase down an NCAA championship title next season.

Canada thumps Russia, wins first gold at worlds since 2007 C arol Schr am Canadian Press

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Team Canada was perfect in Prague, capping an outstanding run at the world hockey championship with a dominant win over its archrival.

After five straight years of quarter-final defeats, the Canadians are heading home with world championship gold medals for the first time since 2007 after a 6-1 thrashing of defending champion Russia on Sunday at O2 Arena.

Arguably the deepest team in a tournament rich with big-name stars, the Canadians ran the table in 2015 with a perfect 10-0 record.

“Our guys really wanted to win - they really did,” said coach Todd McLellan.

“I thought that we got a little extra motivation from the Russian team today,” said McLellan.

“Their staredown in the warmup was just exactly what our team needed.

We talked about which staredown would be more important - the one before the game or the one after. We decided the one after would be more important so we appreciated the motivation.”

Sidney Crosby, Tyler Ennis, Cody Eakin and Claude Giroux paced the Canadian attack with a goal and an assist each. Tyler Seguin and Nathan MacKinnon also scored.

Crosby finished the tournament with 11 points and became just the eighth Canadian player to join the Triple Gold Club, adding his

world championship win to Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014 and his 2009 Stanley Cup. Crosby was quick to share the tournament win with his teammates.

Evgeni Malkin had the only goal for Russia, and star forward Alex Ovechkin was held off the scoresheet.

All tournament long, Canada relied on a potent and balanced scoring attack. On Sunday, the fourth line set the tone for the win.

When Canada took a 4-0 lead at the 9:02 mark of the second period, the Russians took a time out in an attempt to regroup, still looking for their first shot on goal in the period.

But Canada’s dominance was absolute. Giroux, on the power play,

and MacKinnon added insurance goals in the third period to lock down Canada’s first win in history over the Russians in a world championship gold-medal game — and by the biggest margin of victory ever surrendered by the Russians.

Canada did win the 1955 world title against

what then the U.S.S.R., and the tournament was round-robin.

In the bronze-medal game played earlier on Sunday, forward Nick Bonino had a goal and an assist as the US shut out the host team from the Czech Republic by a score of 3-0. The last medal for the US was also a bronze, in 2013.

Niedermayer inducted into IIHF Hall of Fame

Scott Niedermayer, who is also a Triple Gold Club winner, was one of seven people inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame on Sunday. Niedermayer was unable to attend the ceremony due to his assistant coaching commitment with the Anaheim Ducks, who are currently playing in the Western Conference final of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Russians could be sanctioned for anthem incident Canadian Press

Russia’s hockey team may end up paying for its Canadian anthem snub.

Russian news agency TASS reported the Russian team is facing sanctions after players left the ice before O Canada. The Canadians crushed Russia in Sunday’s game, and most of the Russians quickly departed for the dressing room, a breach of the sport’s etiquette.

“Once we arrive back home

after the world championships we will look into this question and we will get in touch with those in charge at the Russian Ice Hockey Federation,” IIHF president Rene Fasel said.

“The IIHF has its own protocol and some sort of punishment will be handed down.”

Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Viktor Tikhonov and Dmitry Kulikov were among the few players who remained on the ice

for the anthem.

Russia’s general manager Andrey Safronov called the incident “a shame.”

“Nothing forced our team to leave the ice and it was simply an organizational mistake,” he said.

“We are feeling very ashamed and uncomfortable now and on the behalf of the national team I bow to the Canadians. I can say only that there was nothing premeditated in the incident.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been with “Joe” since his wife died nine years ago. The problem is, we have different styles of communication.

At first, it wasn’t too bad. I have tried to analyze our fights to see what I could do differently or what we could do together to make it better. But I have settled on the fact that Joe can never be wrong, and it affects everything. He won’t do anything in a new way, cannot say he’s sorry for anything he has said or done, won’t admit to hurting my feelings, and often won’t believe what I say.

Worse, when he gets an idea in his head, he won’t change it even when presented with new information that proves him wrong.

And when I suggest he reconsider, he often makes comments that are below the belt and painful for me. It’s frustrating.

Joe is 75, and I am 66. We live together and don’t want to move. I know he won’t go for counseling, nor will he believe anything he reads that contradicts his impressions. How do I keep my sanity and stop these fights? -Need Your Help Dear Need: Let’s understand this. You are willing to put up with what sounds like frequent verbal abuse because you don’t want to move? Does Joe have any redeeming qualities that make up for his stubborn ignorance and disagreeable nature? We don’t see love here. We see fear of being alone.

You cannot make Joe become a better communicator unless he works at it, which he won’t. Only you can decide whether you are willing to tolerate this in order to stay with him. Some counseling for you alone might be helpful.

Dear Annie: Why do people pay so little attention to the proper pronunciation of certain words?

This morning, I received a telephone call from a salesclerk, who informed me that something I had ordered was no longer available, but she had “fount” a similar item if I cared to substitute. I’d like to substitute “found” for “fount.”

Also, I’ve heard several people say “ax” when they mean “ask.” An “ax” is something you use to chop wood. If the speaker had “axed her,” she wouldn’t be able to answer, now, would she? “Ask” should rhyme with “task.”

Last week, for the umpteenth time, I heard someone say, “We are having a sells event.”

The word is “sales.” You are having a sale where you hope to sell things. You are not having a “sell.” And why do people continue to say “I done this” or “I seen that” or “they come over yesterday.” These people have been to school and presumably learned the proper tense for verb usage.

Why are we so careless in our speech? OK, Annie. I feel better now. -- Shepherdsville, Ky. Dear Shepherdsville: Glad to help. Some kids don’t pay that much attention in school.

And how your friends and family members speak can be a greater influence than what you learn in a short class. Rules of grammar, if not reinforced at home, often go by the wayside.

Standards have relaxed a great deal, but still, people who cannot correctly pronounce words are considered uneducated or worse, and it can affect the jobs they get and the people they attract, which shapes the rest of their lives.

Obituaries Lily Jones September 10, 1927 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 12, 2015 In the early morning, as the dancing stars drew her away, the first rays of the sun carried momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit to join that of her husband.

Mom was born to John and Sofia Leaf on September 10, 1927 in Kamloops, but spent her youth in the Finnish community of Solsqua- Cambie. She lost her father in July 1945 and helped her mother care for her younger siblings. Her mom, Aiti, left us in June 1981. Mom had two older half-siblings Erik in Finland and Mary Hantula who came to live in Solsqua.

She also had two sisters, Elsie Burt and Helvie Saari, and her little brother Ray Leaf. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only remaining sibling is her sister Elsie. She also leaves behind Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Val and Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Carol Bates.

Mom was married to Robert Owen Jones in October 1950. She always said he was a good catch because he was a railwayman. Sadly their love affair would come to an end May 7, 1983 when we lost our amazing father. They had some fabulous years together raising five children in Revelstoke, Hammond, Kamloops, and Cranbrook.

Eldest son Robert Jr. (Bob) also became a good railwayman, and is left to cherish Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory with his partner Fran and his five children: Cori (Josh); Sherri (Brian); Megan (George), and Robert (Stephanie)--a third generation railwayman. Sadly we lost Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Janet (George) in 2010. The next child to come along was daughter Marilyn Anderson (Donovan) who, with her three children Sarah (Justin), Christopher (Crystal), and David (Samantha) will forever treasure all of the special moments they shared with Mom. The next son was Dick (Debbie) and with children David (Stephanie) and Jennifer (Travis), Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feisty spirit will be remembered and will live on. Youngest son Darrell (Elizabeth) and their two children Zachary and Jessica (Jeremiah) will long remember Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laughter and her stories, and will keep her close to their hearts. Finally, the baby, Lori Bregoliss who, with husband Paul and their two sons Ryan (Allison) and Sammy J will honour Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of family and zest for life.

Mom and dad had some memorable times together, spending many years sharing their mutual passion for politics. Mom loved being in the campaign offices especially if R O was running. She lived for helping the community and others less fortunate.

One of her first jobs was working as a nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide in the hospital in Revelstoke.

She spent hours working with the Royal Purple and the Elks lodge. She was also a passionate caregiver; it seemed there was always someone extra at the dinner table that Mom was helping out, be it a railway friend of Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, one of her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends, or in the later years helping support those with intellectual disabilities. She spent many summers at her cabin on the Shuswap, enjoying the company of family and friends, and always made sure we swept the deck before we left. After selling the cabin she continued to enjoy weekends at her trailer in Chase. Her retirement years were spent living downtown. Mom was a very independent woman, and relished the freedom of being able to get everything she needed with just a short walk, perhaps with some time spent just sitting and people watching. Mom was a great cook, famous for her broccoli bake, which has become a family tradition. Her grandchildren will always remember her for her scrambled egg and peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes after a sleep over. We will make sure that the youngest members of the family, her nine great-grandchildren--Tanner, Tyler, Emilie, Hunter, Hailey, Emmaline, Josh, Aaron and Gordon and two more expected this summer--and her great-greatgrandson Max will know what a special woman she was. In her last years we were blessed that mom was cared for by the loving staff at Ridgeview Lodge. Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s takes a person away in pieces but the staff at Ridgeview made sure Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was full and whole. Her final days were spent sharing quiet visits with her children and their spouses and some laughter filled evenings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They shared family stories and a few last sips of beer; she did not want to leave that party. We love you more than words can speak, say hi to Dad, hope he has a CC and water waiting for you. There will be a graveside service for Mom at the Solsqua-Cambie cemetery on May 23 @ 11:00 am with a social at momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old stomping grounds, the Cambie Hall, following the service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, or give someone a hug.

Online condolences may be sent through Lilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

HI! I’m a Cranbrook man in my early 50’s, professionally employed, attractive with a busy life. I find the internet dating to be misleading with a lack of honesty.

Not large, sorry.

NEWS Lightning sparks five new wildfires in B.C. Interior as massive blaze continues C ANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - Crews are responding to five new wildfires in British Columbia’s Central Interior, as a massive blaze continues to burn about 70 kilometres southwest of Prince George.

B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch says all of the new fires were sparked by Friday’s lightning activity in the Cariboo region.

The largest fire is raging four hectares west of Anahim Lake, where a

three-person attack crew, airtankers and a helicopter are on site with 16 additional firefighters on the way.

The branch says crews are also working on three small fires in the Big Bar area and one small fire southwest of Quesnel.

Meanwhile, the aggressive Little Bobtail Lake blaze has destroyed about 170 square kilometres since it was first discovered last Saturday.

Some 240 firefight-

“It was our first and only extremely large fire burning in the province so it was definitely a high priority for us.”

She says an evacuation order remains in place for about 80 people and it’s too soon to say when they could return to their homes.

Kelsh says the area is finally seeing cooler temperatures and although winds have picked up, they are currently in crews’ favour as they are moving away from larger communi-

C ANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - At a time when municipal budgets are stretched and urban-improvement projects may not top a city’s priority list, community groups, non-profits and local governments are increasingly turning to

crowdfunding to help finance public projects.

Crowdfunding websites, which allow groups and individuals to solicit donations online, are usually associated with artists, entrepreneurs and humanitarian projects. However, a small but growing

number of crowdfunding campaigns are looking to finance civic projects such as artwork, and green and public spaces.

In the United States and Europe, purpose-specific sites such as Spacehive, IOBY and citizinvestor have been

used to fund everything from bridges to bicycle services.

Although in Canada the practice is less common, the presence of some homegrown web platforms and a host of online campaigns seems to indicate that civic crowdfunding may

Officials are hoping the gusty winds will not cause any immediate threat to structures, she says.

Unseasonably dry, hot weather has brought wildfire season early in B.C. One wildfire that destroyed 83 hectares near Clearwater was 100 per cent contained as of Saturday morning.

Another blaze near Pelican Lake was about 164 hectares in size and only 50 per cent contained.

Last week, securities commissions in six provinces also set up rules to allow Canadian businesses to raise equity through crowdfunding.

There are several advantages to crowdfunding urban projects, says Nicolas Koff, the co-founder of Projexity, a Toronto-based crowdfunding website that helps groups gather resources for local projects. These can include engaging people and bumping up the timeline of projects that would otherwise take years to complete.

Projexity’s most successful project to date has been a public patio for Market 707, a shipping container market in Toronto. The site raised $6,500 and also sought public input on the design and on the hiring of labourers something that would have been impossible had the project been done entirely through municipal channels.

Other Canadian groups are using traditional platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo to try to fund their projects.

A group in Lethbridge, Alta., has launched an Indiegogo campaign to save two historic buildings that make up the city’s Chinatown. They, like most, have turned to a variety of resources to attempt to fund their project, including a grant from the municipal heritage resource fund that matches every dollar raised.
