Translocation: The situation

Deer in Kimberley, Invermere removed; Cranbrook next week C AROLYN GRANT

The East Kootenay Deer Translocation Trial has completed removal of deer in Kimberley last week and in Invermere this week.

Next week, it’s Cranbrook and Elkford’s turn.

Liz White of the Animal Alliance, which provided some funding for the study, was in Kimberley observing the process and says overall it was done successfully and professionally.

“Over three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, last week, 20 deer were removed from Kimberley, which is what the permit allowed,” White said. “One deer died at capture. They think it regurgitated food and it got caught in the trachea. She was unconscious the whole time.

See TRANSLOCATION, Page 3

Ducks are dying - don’t feed them FOR THE TOWNSMAN

A recent wave of mortality that has hit Cranbrook ducks has prompted Tamarack Centre administration to advise the public to please stop feeding them.

“In the interest and welfare of the ducks, Tamarack Centre administration office and staff are asking customers and nearby residents to not feed the waterfowl that occupy the parking lot and part of Joseph Creek that runs behind the mall,” the Tamarack Centre said in a press release.

Seven ducks were recently found dead in one week alone, the release added.

The ducks usually migrate to Elizabeth Lake, or somewhere warmer, in winter. However, due to humans feeding them the ducks are staying put at Tamarack instead of foraging for their food.

A Glorious Day for the North Star

W

ith your permission, an extract from the Cranbrook Herald newspaper of May 29, 1902, with some words of explanation to follow: *** “Last Sunday about 75 people of Cranbrook left by vehicles for Fort Steele to take the steamer North Star for Wasa. It was a bright, beautiful day and the ride of 12 miles was a glorious outing alone, but the trip up the river to those who seldom have an opportunity of a ride on the water was a glorious diversion.

“Captain Armstrong came over to Cranbrook Saturday ... to personally supervise all arrangements so that each one would be comfortably fixed for the journey to Fort Steele. Geary and Doyle had charge of the land transportation and Al Doyle of Fort Steele and Harry Fairfield of the Cranbrook stables saw that every arrange-

peaks capped with snow that enhance the beauty of the scenes presented.

It was a grand and glorious trip and those on board enjoyed to the fullest extent nature’s handiwork as illustrated by the rugged scenery of the Valley of Southeast Kootenay.

“A few minutes after noontime Governor Hanson’s place was sighted and the whistle sounded for the draw to be opened in the new bridge built by the governor last year. It is a raised draw and looks like the draw bridge at the castle of some old country nobleman.

Passing through the bridge the boat was tied up at the Hanson landing and then came the grand rush for the hotel, located about half a mile distant.

“And it was hungry crowd, ready and willing to do ample justice to a table loaded with substantial food. Although the number was

“The steamer left the Fort Steele landing at ten o’clock with 120 passengers, quite a contingent from Fort Steele joining the crowd, and for two hours those on board were treated to a grand panorama of beautiful scenes. The river winds in and out through woodlands and prairie, while on either side are high mountain

The sternwheeler North Star on the Columbia River ca. 1902. – Wikimedia Commons far in excess of that expected by Mr. Hanson, no one left the table hungry. Then followed several hours of unalloyed enjoyment. Nature and man have combined to make the Hanson homestead one of the prettiest places in all South East Kootenay.

Thousands of dollars have been expended in the way of improvements and the location is an ideal one in every respect: beautiful lawns, magnificent orchards with apple trees in bloom, the grounds flanked on either side by a beautiful lake, an avenue with rows of shade trees and running water wherever water can be used. An electric light plant is being installed and power is secured from a mountain stream that dashes over the rocks in a ravine near the house ... Fourteen years ago, N. Hanson walked down the valley and concluded to locate there. He had no money, but he had energy and shrewdness; he built a sawmill, brought in goods, opened a trading store, and five years ago his was the only place in the district where a man could buy on a wholesale basis. Today he is well fixed, entertains like a prince and makes everyone feel at home.

“During the afternoon a game of ball was played between two picked nines, headed by Messrs. Fink and Smith.

At 5:30, the excursion-

Herald newspaper advertisement - May 1902. ists left for the boat and at six o’clock the boat started downstream, arriving at Fort Steele about 7:30, where the Cranbrook people took their vehicles for home.

Captain Armstrong, during the entire trip, was untiring in his efforts to please his passengers, and before leaving the boat they all joined in giving three rousing cheers for the captain and his boat.” *** And there it is, an enticing commentary of an excursion 114 years ago that would no doubt attract a large crowd today. By way of explanation: the “vehicles” were wagons supplied

by Geary and Doyle. In the days of the rise of Cranbrook and the decline of Fort Steele, George Geary and Al Doyle, pioneer proprietors of a Fort Steele livery stable and coach

line, hedged their bets by also opening a livery in Cranbrook, managed

by Harry Fairfield. It stood on Hanson Avenue across from the present day Sam Steele Inn. Nils Hanson, often affectionately referred to as the “Governor” of Wasa, plied his entrepreneurial skills at both Cranbrook and Wasa.

The Cosmopolitan Hotel (Shenanigan’s on Baker Street) is the remaining half of what was once the first Hanson Block. The second, standing prominently on the corner of Baker and Norbury and eventually known as the Norbury Hotel, fell to flames in 1959. The Hanson Garage across from Rotary Park was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Associate Medical Clinic.

Hanson Avenue is named for him. Little re-

mains of his endeavours at Wasa. His is among the largest tombstones in the Cranbrook Old General Cemetery.

And so it was a glorious day for the North Star and those aboard her; a day in 1902 when the citizens of Fort Steele and Cranbrook set aside their differences (and there were certainly differences) to ride a sternwheeler along the Kootenay River, enjoy “the fullest extent of nature’s handiwork,” feast heartily and play a little baseball to boot. If the description of Nils Hanson’s Wasa seems somewhat overstated, consider the effect that a hotel (the replica of which stands today as the Fort Steele Museum), a store, a lumber mill and an orchard might have had upon the traveller during a trip through what was then the wilds of British Columbia.

As for the steamer “North Star,” she was a much celebrated boat in her day, one of a number of steam-powered riverboats built by Captain Frank Armstrong for use on the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers.

This particular excursion occurred during the final days of the Kootenay River steam travel.

We are therefore at the end without having truly investigated the beginning. We shall do so next week.

Kelowna to provide fire dispatch services to RDEK Trevor Crawley

Fire dispatch services for the Regional District of East Kootenay will officially be taken over by the City of Kelowna in the beginning of June.

Currently, Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services handles fire dispatching services for most of the RDEK, however, the contract expired in December, with the two organizations agreeing to a six-month extension to search for a 3rd party provider.

The Kelowna Fire Department already handles dispatch services for the Regional Districts of Central Okanagan and Okanagan Similkameen.

Sanford Brown, the Building and Protective Services Manager for the RDEK, noted that the switchover should be seamless once Kelowna takes over on May 30.

“We don’t expect any surprises or difficulties in getting the same degree of services that we had with Cranbrook than with Kelowna,” Brown said. “We have a really good team of peo-

Submitted photo

The City of Kelowna will be providing fire dispatch services to communities in the RDEK—such as the newly created Elko Fire Department—starting on June 1, 2016. ple that are going through the project and we don’t expect to see any issues.

“Part of our RFP [Request for Proposal] was that the proposals that came in were very specific on whether they could hook up to our ex-

isting technology, and that was one of the pluses of Kelowna, is they had very similar technology as we had in Cranbrook, so they were able to assure us that they could hook up directly to our existing infrastructure.”

The five-year agreement between the two local government bodies will translate into a fee of $835,000 for the City of Kelowna, which will be paid out by contributions through RDEK member communities and electoral

areas.

“We are able to provide the new service within our existing capacity,” said Travis Whiting, Deputy Chief of the City of Kelowna.

“The selection of Kelowna Fire to dispatch for the RDEK is a reflection

of the professional and efficient work of our dispatchers in support of local first responders.”

Brown added that there shouldn’t be any concerns about dispatching services being handled by a community in the Okanagan—500

kilometres away from Cranbrook.

When someone makes a 911 call, it’s handled by E-Comm in Surrey to determine police, fire or ambulance.

When the caller says fire dispatch services is needed, the call is routed to Kelowna Fire Department. From there, the call is routed to the appropriate fire department in the RDEK depending on where the incident has occurred.

Brown explained, using Sparwood as an example.

“So, if they see it’s in Sparwood, they would dispatch the Sparwood fire department and then they would continually monitor and talk with the Sparwood fire department through that event,” Brown said.

“So they have very upto-date mapping systems, so that’s the same system that Kelowna has, or very similar, so it’s a very technical, accurate mapping. “…It will make no difference if it’s in Cranbrook or Kelowna, the public isn’t going to notice any difference.”

Deer translocation comes to Cranbrook next Continued from page 1 “But generally speaking, it was done very professionally. Three vets were part of it. I watched the darting. It was pretty smooth. Most of the deer didn’t run away after darting, just walked. It took about five minutes to unconsciousness.

“Immediately upon being down, the vets bound their legs and covered and their faces, and they were moved to a transport vehicle. Then they were given a reversal drug and a valium-type drug to keep them calm, then were

driven down to the relocation site.

“It was really well done.”

White said an effort was made to try to dart only adult does without fawns although there were two or three family groups moved out of Kimberley.

“I don’t think there were any orphans.”

The key however, White says, is whether the deer survive.

The Kimberley deer were taken to a protected forest area south of Cranbrook, near the border. It’s an area where the snow isn’t deep and

forage should be relatively easy to find.

Seven of the 20 deer are collared and White says one has already been lost to predation by a cougar.

“This is what we will find out. Will they find feed? Will they be predated at a greater rate

than resident deer?”

The deer removed from Cranbrook next week may be moved to the same area, she says, but not the Invermere or Elkford deer — that’s too long a drive.

White says the Animal Alliance does take some positives from this

Canadian Mining Association President to speak to Chambers For the Townsman

Pierre Gratton, President and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada, will be the keynote speaker at a Kootenay Chambers of Commerce luncheon event Tuesday, March 1 in Cranbrook.

Gratton will address a diverse audience comprising of elected officials, Chamber

leadership and Chamber members from the East and West Kootenays said Cranbrook Chamber executive director David D. Hull.

“The Kootenay Chambers of Commerce are very cognisant that mining is an important and integral part of the regional economy and have come together to orga-

nize this event,” said Hull.

“To have a speaker of Mr. Gratton’s caliber come to the Kootenays is fantastic.”

The theme of Mr. Gratton’s address will be; “Canadian Mining: Down, but never out”.

As the old adage goes “what goes up must come down”, and it certainly has in

the mining industry.

The Canadian mining industry is in the midst of a significant downturn after what was a spectacular super cycle that characterized the better part of the last decade.

However the mining industry will not stay down too long – it always bounces back.

Mr. Gratton will also

speak to the mining industry’s important contributions to Canada’s interconnected economy, and will explain why policy makers need to remain focused on mining during this down period, or risk playing a costly game of catch-up when resources boom again.

trial.

“What is very positive to me is that Elkford and Kimberley, particularly Kimberley, are communities who have done their due diligence. Kimberley has a feeding bylaw and they are enforcing it, the are allowing higher fences, you have a volunteer fruit picking program, the city is planting deer attractive plants, there’s the garbage bylaw. All of these things have resulted in lower deer numbers without a cull. The interest in trying all these non-lethal things is very positive.”

She is less complimentary to Cranbrook and Invermere, who “cull one month and translocate the next without doing the preventative work”.

“Sure you can pass a feeding bylaw, but you have to enforce it. Kimberley has been very proactive and the town has benefitted.”

“This is causing failed migration and is allowing the ducks to concentrate and over-populate which causes a host of other problems, including disease and nutritional deficiencies.”

When waterfowl are fed, they abandon the search for natural and nutritious foods. Typically

waterfowl eat roots, shoots, stems, berries, leaves, insects and aquatic vertebrates.

“To avoid wasting money on seed, please do not feed the birds,” the Tamarack Centre release said.

Tamarack Centre is warning customers and nearby residents

that the seeds distributed in the parking lot will be swept up and disposed of as it creates unwanted mess and goes moldy very quickly which in turn has negative and dire impact on the ducks.

“Wildlife does not need help from humans to survive. Keep the wild in wildlife and enjoy the ducks from a distance.”

Mount Polley’s owner has spent $170 million so far to restore Hazeltine Creek, which was washed out as a torrent of water and mine tailings poured down into Quesnel Lake. Water monitoring continues at the lake, with water continuing to test within regulations for fish habitat and human consumption.

Two engineering reviews of the dam failure have been completed, with no permit violations discovered. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service is expected to report later this year, and may recommend charges related to damaging fish habitat.

Feeding the ducks at Tamarack Centre can put their lives in jeopardy

The B.C. government is adding administrative fines and strengthening permit requirements for new mines in response to investigations into the Mount Polley tailings dam failure.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the new fines will be available to provincial officials to compel compliance with safety orders, even when inspectors find conditions that are not officially permit violations.

The size of the new fines will not be determined until amendments to the Mines Act pass in the B.C. legislature, but Bennett said they will be in the range of what is available in forestry and oil and gas regulations. Administrative penalties for high-risk conditions in oil and gas operations range from $2,000 to $500,000.

Bennett said such penalties wouldn’t have prevented the August 2014 dam failure, which was caused by a weak glacial layer under the dam that was not detected when the mine was built. But they would have al-

College expands work in Tanzania Courtesy Daryl Schmidt

College of the Rockies’ work in Tanzania continues to grow. The College is now actively participating in two skills development programs after being selected to support a project led by College of New Caledonia (CNC).

Since April 2015, College of the Rockies has been working with Camosun College and Mwanza Regional Vocational Training and Service Centre (MRVTSC) to deliver effective Heavy Duty Mechanic programs.

In November 2015, the College was selected to provide support to a project led by CNC. This project will see the colleges working with Shinyanga Vocational Training Centre (SVTC) and will also focus on improving Heavy Duty Mechanics curriculum so students are better equipped to enter the mining sector with the

skills that employers are seeking.

Both collaborations are Improving Skills Training for Employment Program (ISTEP) projects funded by Global Affairs Canada and administered by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan).

Earlier this month, College of the Rockies’ Heavy Mechanical instructor Spencer Mellor, Manager of International Projects and Partnerships Kerry Brinkert, and International Projects and Marketing Specialist Michael Hay travelled to Tanzania.

During their visit, Mellor and Hay participated in revising MRVTSC’s Level 3 Heavy Duty curriculum and forming a Program Advisory Committee with local industry representatives while Brinkert collaborated with College of New Caledonia representatives to develop a work plan for the new project

in Shinyanga.

“These two project teams have set the right foundation for future collaboration by comparing work plans and seeking to combine efforts,” says Hay. “Moving forward, representatives from all three Canadian colleges and the two Tanzanian institutions will be working together to achieve our project goals.”

“The Shinyanga project is a wonderful opportunity to add to CNC’s internationalization efforts and to expand on meaningful partnerships among Canadian colleges,” adds College of New Caledonia International Project Planner, Romana Pasca.

“Having faculty and staff from both colleges work in collaboration, share their wealth of expertise and also learn from each other is exciting.”

(l-r) John Kengese, Craig Hull, Kerry Brinkert, Romana Pasca, Afridon Mkhomoi and Michael Hay – representing College of the Rockies, College of New Caledonia and Shinyanga Vocational Training Centre in Tanzania - are working together to improve Heavy Duty Mechanics training for Tanzanian students and industries.

Federal Court backs home marijuana growers Tom Fletcher Black Press

The Federal Court of Canada has struck down regulations requiring licensed medical marijuana users to buy from Ottawa-approved growers, giving people the green light to continue growing at home.

The ruling is suspended for six months, but the four B.C. residents who launched the court challenge had their growing licences protected under an earlier interim order. Thousands of people in B.C. and across Canada received licences to either grow pot themselves or designate someone else to do it, before the Conservative government attempted to restrict production to large commercial growers who sent it by mail.

With the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intent on legalizing recreational marijuana use, Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the four, says the latest ruling should “once and for all end the stigmatization and criminalization” for medical users and their providers.

“And in addition, all pending criminal cases against medical cannabis producers, patients, growers and dispensaries should be immediately terminated,” Tousaw told CTV Wednesday. “There is absolutely no reason in this day and age to continue to prosecute people for helping people improve their quality of life with medical cannabis.”

Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan ruled that preventing people from growing marijuana for medical purposes violates section seven of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees “the right to life, liberty and security of the person.”

The court challenge was brought by: • Neil Allard, 61, of Nanaimo, a former counsellor for Veterans Affairs Canada until he was granted medical retirement in 1999 due to “chronic fatigue syndrome.” He started growing his own marijuana after finding he was “sensitive to pharmaceutical medication.”

David Hebert, a couple from Surrey aged 29 and 34. Beemish suffers from type one diabetes and gastroparesis, and smokes or vaporizes two to 10 grams of marijuana a day to relieve nausea, pain, lack of appetite and insomnia. Hebert received a Health Canada license to be her designated grower.

• Shawn Davey of Abbotsford, 39, suffered a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident and receives a federal disability pension. He held licences to grow for himself and as a designated grower for others, authorizing him to produce 122 plants indoors and store 5,490 grams at the site of production.

City Council invites public participation regarding the 2016-2020 Five Year Financial Plan before it is adopted.

Copies of the document will be available online at www.cranbrook.ca or for pick up at City Hall starting Tuesday, February 23rd.

Written submissions are invited from the public and will be considered by Council at a Special Meeting on Thursday, March 10, 2016.

Being a Christian: Loving God

O

ne of my favourite quotations from Marcus Borg (who died January 15, 2015) is this: “Imagine that Christianity is about loving God. Imagine that it’s not about the self and its concerns, about ‘what’s in it for me,’ whether that be a blessed afterlife or prosperity in this life. Imagine that loving God is about being attentive to the one in whom we live and move and have our being. Imagine that it is about becoming more and more deeply centered in God. Imagine that it is about loving what God loves. How would that change your life?”

That final question haunts me.

As I wrote last week, many of us grew up thinking that Christian faith is about getting what we want after this life is over.

Honour God in this life, and you’ll get heaven as your eternal reward.

That kind of thinking turns Christian faith into a bargain with God. If I do what you want in this life, then you’ll give me what I want in the next life. If I behave well today, I’ll receive my reward tomorrow.

And so we turn Christian faith into a set of do’s and don’ts, shoulds and should nots. Faith becomes a matter of keeping the rules in this life so that we get our eternal reward in the next life.

I remember when I was a young child that my grandmother came to visit us from Holland. She was a very devout woman, and very strict. Every Sunday, for the three weeks she was with us, we had to keep the rules to keep her (and my father) happy. One of those rules was “to honour the Sabbath,” and so there we kids sat on Sunday afternoons, very un-

happy, dressed in our “Sunday best” wanting nothing more than to be able to go out and play with our friends. We wanted to do what we usually did on a Sunday, but we could not. It was against the rules.

I also remember a conversation about 25 years later with a man who told me that being a Christian was about keeping the commandments. Life consisted of knowing what the rules were and obeying them. Faith wasn’t about enjoying the presence of God or that sense of deep trust that no matter who we are or what we do, God loves us. Keep the commandments, and Rev. Yme you’re okay. Break them Woensdregt and watch out.

It seems to me to be a bleak way of living — always having to be careful that you didn’t screw up in some way, always having to toe the line, always having to worry about whether you are enough.

Loving God as the essence of Christian faith is so much more freeing and so much more positive. We are set free from our self–concern. We are set free from making sure we get what we want. We are set free to give ourselves away in love and joy for the healing of others and making the world more whole. We are set free to celebrate the wild, amazing, joy–filled presence of the one who fills our lives with goodness and hope.

One of my teachers was a man named Jim Cruickshank. Jim became the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Cariboo during a very difficult time; he helped the Diocese weather the storms around settling court claims related to St. George’s Residential School in Lytton, B.C.

Jim had a very simple but profound understanding of the gospel, which can be summed up in a single sentence: “I am your God; you are my people; I will never stop loving you; I will never let you go.”

Like Marcus Borg, life was centred around the loving presence and promises of God for Jim. The theological word for that is grace, and Jim’s world and gospel were charged through with that sense of grace. God loves us. God accepts us unconditionally. God invites us to live within that embrace. As Jim used to love to say, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more, and there is nothing we can do to make God love us less. God doesn’t know what it means not to forgive.”

Like Jim, like Marcus, I find the story of Jesus to be deeply compelling. It tells me that I am loved, that I am cherished, that I am treasured. The story of Jesus tells me that all people are loved and cherished and treasured. It tells me that I am not alone in the universe, but that I live here in both a physical and spiritual reality.

For Jesus, the whole gospel can be summed up this way: “Love God with all that you are; love your neighbours as you love yourself.”

I think that if all of us who claim to be followers of Jesus could actually live this way, the world would be a better place.

What if Christians actually said that this is all that counts? “Imagine that Christianity is about loving God … about loving what God loves ... about becoming more and more deeply centered in God.” It’s not about believing the right things, or doing the right things, or keeping a certain set of rules. It’s simply this: loving God; loving each other.

Imagine.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor Kootenay Ice

My name is James LeClair and I have been a hard core fan of the Kootenay Ice hockey team for the last 18 years since the team arrived here in 1998. The Kootenay Ice being here in Cranbrook means a lot to me, not only as a fan but knowing it is an integral part of our community.

This team has in many ways given Cranbrook an identity. I have attended every Memorial Cup since 2000 and everywhere I go I am proud to tell people I am from Cranbrook and am equally proud to say I’m a huge supporter of the Kootenay Ice. I will always remember this team has a rich winning tradition as part of the W.H.L. and I will always be proud of our team WIN or Lose!

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment your paper on a very informative article on the current state of affairs on how things stand with our hockey team the Kootenay Ice. Your article shed light on a lot of outstanding questions that are on all the minds of hockey fans in respect to the future for this team here in Cranbrook and the Kootenays.

It is a relief to me that the Kootenay Ice will continue to be in Cranbrook through the 2016-2017 season. I also find it reassuring that the City and Mayor Pratt and commissioner of the league Mr. Robison have worked together at some point to find constructive answers and ways to keep the team here. Not only for next year but for many years to come. I hope the league and the city can continue to work together now and in the future to ensure that this team can stay here.

Obviously poor attendance is a problem but many people including myself believe that a change in ownership may go a long way to overcoming this problem.

My hope is that there are financial interests in this community that will come forward and see that an investment in this team is also a strong investment in our community itself. I applaud the City and Mayor Pratt’s efforts in this matter as well.

If the right and appropriate changes in ownership and management can be found I believe this would be huge and would go a long way to turning things around and to rejuvenate fan support for our team.

Cranbrook Beautiful

In response on your recent article “Cranbrook beautiful,” on Feb. 11 by Dave Humphrey (It Happened This Week In Cranbrook: This excerpt was originally from the year 1908, and it’s unfortunate that after all these years we continue to face this same issue. I would like to congratulate the City on calling on every citizen to make Cranbrook a beautiful place to live in and to visit .

To quote one sentence of the article “We should do all in our power to get rid of unsightly spots and to substitute that which is pleasing to the eye.”

Why then is a Rental company allowed

friday, FEBRuary 26, 2016 Page 7

to keep rubbish, brush and tree stumps in full view of a senior residents at Joseph Creek Village. Are they not worthy to join “Cranbrook beautiful?” Do they not deserve to live the last years of their lives in a pleasing to the eye surrounding?

I would like to ask the city council to take a look and ask themselves, if they would like their parents to end up looking at that mess. People from other locations in Canada and Europe visit seniors at Joseph Creek Village. They have commented and wrote letters about this not so beautiful site.

The City of Cranbrook has an Unsightly Premises Bylaw — why is it not enforced in this case? Are seniors not important enough for this to be rectified?

Please take this into consideration and let’s make Cranbrook into a beautiful place for ALL people.

From February 1908: “Cranbrook beautiful ... A Cranbrook beautiful should be the aim of every citizen. Not only for our personal satisfaction but for the purpose of making the city attractive to our fellow citizens and the stranger within our gates. We should do all in our power to get rid of unsightly spots and to substitute that which is pleasing to the eye. Much can be done a trifling expense by the planting of a few flowers and flowering shrubs about our homes. If every householder, without exception, was to devote a little time to cultivating a small flowerbed what a difference it would make. The Herald would like to suggest that at the time of the fall fair a prize he given for the best kept garden. This is done every year in Nelson and the competition is very keen indeed. Let us have a Cranbrook Beautiful.

The city council does good work ... Everything is moving smoothly and the people are pleased. The health committee reported that they had visited the Chinese quarter and the alleys in the center of the city. Some of the Chinese houses were found to be overcrowded and dirty, chicken houses, being, in some instances, adjoining the dwelling. Instructions were given in each case to clean up, The committee found several alleys and yards in a dirty condition and instructed the owners or tenants to clean them up. The committee intends to ask for further powers which will be dealt with in a bylaw to be submitted at the next regular meeting.”

I commend the Townsman for publishing the news in a transparent and uncensored manner.

Apparently Shelley Balfour condones censorship and non-transparency in news reporting, especially in connection with teachers. Indiscretions should get reported, regardless of profession.

Homelessness

Re: Urban drug ghettos don’t work (B.C. Views, Feb. 3).

Full credit goes to Tom Fletcher for being the first to scratch the surface of our failed “homelessness” model and his observation that money alone will not solve this crisis.

Throughout the world and throughout history, social ills have always been the result of shortages. Shortages of food, water and shelter were the result of a lack of resources. In our society, social ills are a result of excesses. Too much money, too many calories, too much salt, too much alcohol, for example, are the result of oversupply.

Since losing my job in the oil and gas business in Calgary in 2008 I have been a regular user of our “homelessness” services and it is obvious to me that “homelessness” is a result of substance abuse, not poverty. The province has a legal obligation to provide access to housing services but we have an entire arsenal of housing resources on the federal, provincial and municipal level that are being abused.

Once again, congratulations to Fletcher and this paper for the courage to address the reality of this problem.

Eric Hoch Campbell River

Homelessness

Re: Housing car defends drug ghettos (B.C. Views, Feb. 17).

Good for Tom Fletcher for saying it like it is and what most people seem to be scared or uncomfortable to express.

Having been an advocate for the truly disadvantaged for more than 50 years I am discouraged by the lack of long-range thinking of our governments in this regard.

As a teen I volunteered in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and have worked in Victoria in community support for many years. I have friends who work in the field here and in Vancouver. So I guess I have first-hand experience and while I obviously care I am also a realist.

While of course there are sad valid situations, it’s becoming a runaway horse. The overall excuses and sense of entitlement and the perpetuating of this mindset by our elected leaders has produced no results except more and more of it.

How about putting this effort and funding into long-term prevention? Like using the former Victoria Boys and Girls Club after-school activity space since a large middle school happens to be across the street. I’m sure this will be of some use to keep kids safe, occupied and out of the hands of drug recruiters while parents work.

Instead of paying homeless people a $20 per person to consult on housing, perhaps the total spent could have provided breakfast in schools where some kids come hungry.

Lady Avs upset Camosun College at PACWEST Championship College of the Rockies women’s volleyball squad advances to semifinals after burying No. 3-seeded Chargers

Taylor Rocc a

The College of the Rockies Lady Avalanche volleyball team has advanced to the semifinals at the 2016 PACWEST Provincial Championships after upsetting the No. 3-ranked Camosun College Chargers.

The No. 6-seed Lady Avs collected a 3-1 victory (25-21, 23-25, 26-24, 25-18) over the Chargers Thursday afternoon at Columbia Bible College, host site of the 2016 provincials championships.

“When we came into the tournament, you can go by the adage of we had nothing to lose and there’s no pressure on us,” Avalanche head coach John Swanson said to Ryan Watters of PACWEST following Thursday’s victory. “No disrespect to Camosun, but we’ve actually played them well this season.

We’ve had a good match up with them, so we went in with the attitude of, why not us?

“Camosun is a very good team and it was a very good challenge, but we really didn’t want to play on the rankings too

much coming in. We knew how we played against them head-tohead and we came in with some confidence.”

The Lady Avs faced the Chargers four times over the course of the 2015-16 regular season, going 3-1 with the only loss coming in the teams’ first meeting Nov. 28 at Camoson.

The underdog Avalanche finished the PACWEST regular season with a 9-15 record, while the Chargers arrived at the provincial championships following a 13-11 campaign.

The art of the upset is nothing new to the Lady Avalanche.

Making their second consecutive appearance at the provincial tournament, the Lady Avs began the 2015 championships with an upset victory over the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades in quarter-final action before falling to the Chargers in the semifinals.

Outside hitter Kelsey Thompson led the Lady Avs with 17 kills and nine digs Thursday af-

ternoon, while libero Alexa Koshman registered 10 digs. Outside hitter Adriel Goodman was named Player of the Match with eight kills to her credit.

With the victory, the Lady Avalanche advance to the semifinals, which get underway Friday afternoon beginning at 2 p.m. (Mountain).

On the men’s side of competition, the No. 5-ranked Avalanche take on the No. 4-seeded University of the Fraser Valley Cascades at 9 p.m. (Mountain) Thursday night. Results were unavailable by print deadline.

The 2016 PACWEST Provincial Volleyball Championship is being hosted by Bearcat Athletics out of Columbia Bible College, located in Abbotsford, B.C. Notes: As a part of the provincial festivities, PACWEST awards were handed out Wednesday afternoon, with Kelsey Thompson named a first-team all-star and Patrik Toze recognized as a part of the all-rookie team…

Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, pictured earlier this season, is within 20 stops of setting a new franchise record for all-time saves.

With two home games on the slate this weekend, there’s a good chance the Kootenay Ice will have a new franchise all-time leader in saves by the time all is said and done.

With 20 saves, goaltender Wyatt Hoflin will surpass longtime Ice net minder Nathan Lieuw-

en (4,188 saves) and lay claim to the all-time franchise record for saves made.

Hoflin was his usual stellar self Wednesday night against the Brandon Wheat Kings, adding 36 stops to his career total, which now sits at 4,169 heading into Friday’s contest with the Edmonton Oil Kings (7 p.m. at Western Finan-

cial Place).

The record has been a topic of conversation around Cranbrook for some time now and when first asked about it, Hoflin responded in cool but lighthearted fashion.

“Obviously, with a couple better games here and there, it would have come a lot sooner,” the 21-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., said with a smile Feb. 4.

“It’s huge for me. For where I came from when I started here and the goalies that have been here, for me to get as much time in the net as I have, it’s a huge accomplishment for me and the hard work I’ve put in.”

Night in and night out, Hoflin has been arguably the best player for the Kootenay Ice in what has been a difficult 2015-16 Western Hockey League campaign.

Wednesday was no different.

Despite suffering a 4-2 defeat to the Brandon Wheat Kings, Hoflin stood tall, making 36 saves — many of the show-stopping variety — and was named the second star of the game.

“He has been great all year,” said Ice rookie Jared Legien Wednesday night. “He’s been our backbone all year. He makes saves that you can’t even imagine. He doesn’t just do it once or twice, he does it three or four times in a game. His focus is unbelievable.

He’s a great goaltender.”

Not only has Hoflin been great all year, he has been great throughout his career with the Ice, establishing countless records, including wins in a season (36, 2014-15) appearances in a season (67, 2014-15), minutes played in a season (3,848, 2014-15) and consecutive games played by a goalie (29).

Dynamiters return home looking for commanding lead in Eddie Mountain Division semifinal

Hoflin provides ‘backbone’ for Kootenay Ice

Fernie Ghostriders visit Kimberley Civic Centre for Game 3 in best-of-seven series Friday at 7 p.m.

“Show a little more respect for your opponent and show up prepared to play.”

Dynamiters’ coach Jerry Bancks on lesson learned from double-OT win over Fernie in Game 2 first-round war, Bancks is looking forward to a friendly home crowd to boost his squad.

“Let it flow, it’s got to be fun,” Bancks said.

“Our crowd does a great job of getting us ready.

I’m hoping that makes a big difference [in Game 3].”

If you’re looking at this series from the side of the Ghostriders, a potential difference-maker was slapped down Thursday afternoon as Kimberley defenceman Jordan Busch was handed a two-game suspension after incurring a major penalty for checking to the head in Game 2.

Busch, the Eddie Mountain Division Defenceman of the Year, has been a rock-solid, two-way force and massive minute muncher for coach Bancks all season long. His absence could leave a hole to be

Bertoia provided some much-needed secondary scoring in Game 2, tallying a power-play goal and adding an assist.

“It’s outstanding,” Bancks said.

“I thought some of our veterans didn’t come ready to play [in Game 2], so it’s great we got goals from the people we got them from.”

1,000 people in the building Friday night,” Bancks said. “It’s important for our guys…

We need the fans.”

Game 4 is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening at the Fernie Memorial Arena, and if necessary, Game 5 brings the series back to the Kimberley Civic Centre (Monday, 7 p.m.).

works very well.

“Nights we’ve had success, our system has worked very well. We need to stick to that plan. We’ve got to be patient against them.

They’re a tough team to play against and they don’t give up a lot. But we’ve played them well at times and then we’ve gotten away from our game, like the last time they were here. They can hurt you. Patience will be key.”

The Oil Kings (26-286-1) hold down the second wildcard position heading into Friday’s contest and are fresh off a 5-1 victory over the Portland Winterhawks (31-27-3-0), who visit Cranbrook Saturday evening.

Friday night also features as Pink the Rink night at Western Financial Place. Fans are encouraged to sport their hottest pink attire in support of anti-bullying initiatives around the East Kootenay.

Puck drop between the Ice (10-45-5-0) and Oil Kings is slated for 7 p.m. at Western Financial Place.

The Kimberley Dynamiters might have gotten away with one Wednesday night as they claimed a 4-3 double-overtime victory over the Fernie Ghostriders in Game 2 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal.

Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks is hoping that was enough of a lesson for his group to buckle down as they aim to take a commanding series lead Friday (7 p.m.) in Game 3 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“Show a little more respect for your opponent and show up prepared to play,” Bancks said of the lesson he hopes his soldiers took away from Wednesday’s nail biter.

“We’ve just got to play our game and get back on the forecheck. I don’t think our forecheck [in Game 2] was as good as it was the other night [in Game 1]. There was a lot of hesitancy in finishing checks.”

Tuesday’s Game 1 was a blowout 6-0 victory for the Dynamiters and Bancks felt his club didn’t show enough respect to the Ghostriders come Game 2, and it showed as Fernie took the play to the visitors early on.

As the series shifts back to the Kimberley Civic Centre for an all-important Game 3 in which the Dynamiters can take a controlling 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven

Earlier this season, Hoflin surpassed 150 games played and 8,000 minutes played in his WHL career. Since then, the veteran has climbed to 155 games played with 8,363 minutes in the crease. Both milestones represent plateaus hit by a select group of Kootenay goaltenders.

Only Lieuwen (178) has played more than 150 games, while Jeff Glass (8,206 minutes) and Lieuwen (9,781 minutes) are the only others to have also surpassed 8,000 minutes played.

Whether Hoflin gets the start Friday night remains to be seen, but should he get the green light, there’s no doubt he will surpass Lieuwen for the saves mark.

The last time Hoflin faced Friday’s opponent — the Oil Kings — he saw 42 pucks come his way, turning aside 36 in a 6-2 loss Jan. 31 at Edmonton.

The last time the Oil Kings visited Cranbrook on Feb. 2, they fired 31 pucks at backup Declan Hobbs, so you know the shots will come.

“They’re extremely structured and they do a fantastic job of sticking to their plan,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “That’s something our guys really need to start to realize.

[The Oil Kings] certainly have talent, but I don’t think they have the depth of skill that a lot of our other opponents have, but their system works for them and it Oh hey, you’re looking for the legal, right? Take a look, here it is: Vehicle(s) may be shown with optional equipment. Dealer may sell or lease for less.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll feel free to break past self-imposed boundaries. You often do the unexpected; those around you will experience a jolt or two as a result. You might be in the process of eliminating the frivolous stuff in your life.

Tonight: A conversation with a friend is an eye-opener.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a lot of ground to cover, and a shortcut might be tempting. An interaction with a friend will point you toward a more unorthodox approach, but one that might be more efficient. Have a discussion with someone you respect. Tonight: Paint the town red with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might find a friend to be distracting. How you live your life and what you do with it is your call. Remember that one of the reasons you have this person in your life is because of his or her vibrant personality. Break past irrelevant boundaries. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might find a work-related situation to be unpredictable and possibly explosive. Keep your cool, and don’t become reactive. Watch how this issue plays out, and then make a decision.

Communication might be quite active with a trusted loved one.

Tonight: Expect the unexpected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you don’t see the big picture, someone around you will make sure that you do. This person exposes you to new ideas and insights in an illuminating way.

You like how his or her mind works. You often can be found having intense discussions. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be responsive to a partner, and in return, you’ll want to have some important feedback from him or her. What you hear could surprise you and cause you to stop and think twice. This person has an eccentric way of speaking. Tonight: Opt to be part of a duo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a friend who seems to

Tundra

be a walking whirlwind. It is easier to let this person have his or her way. You might be somewhat shocked by your friend’s choices, but still give it some thought and perhaps have a discussion. Tonight: Ready for the unexpected once more?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Continue to get through as much as you can. You might prefer to work alone and not be as responsive as you normally are.

Unexpected events and requests punctuate your day. Maintain a sense of humor, but also feel free to say “no.” Tonight: Say “yes” to a co-worker’s suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have what it takes to bring people together, though you might have some wild ideas at times. Someone is likely to add a bohemian touch to a get-together. Do not push this person away; instead, be more receptive to his or her ideas. Tonight: Where friendly folks can be found.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pressure builds with a parent or supervisor. This person is quite capable of delivering some unex-

pected news. But then again, so are you. A discussion might help, but not if the other party is set on heading in a different direction.

Tonight: Out until the wee hours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be ready for a change of scenery, yet someone close to you keeps tossing obstacles in your path. The frustration over this situation is likely to build, unless you decide to look at this person’s efforts as flattering. Be the bigger person. Tonight: Do something different.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use caution with someone who has a financial offer to which he or she thinks you’ll say “yes.” You could be unpredictable when dealing with your funds. Feel free to do what you want, but make sure that you don’t cause any damage, either. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My youngest son, “Ian,” is soon to marry the “love of his life.” I haven’t had much of an opportunity to get to know “Tess,” but my wife has spent time with her and really likes her. Around me, however, Tess seems to be reserved and quiet. I asked Ian about her reticence and after some hesitation, he told me that Tess finds me “creepy” and is uncomfortable being around me.

I was flabbergasted. I cannot think of one thing I’m doing to make this woman feel this way. I have never touched her or leered at her. I don’t find her particularly attractive, so I cannot imagine that I’m being lascivious without realizing it. I don’t make off-color jokes. I dress conservatively. When I speak to her, I look her in the eye, not the chest. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I mentioned it to my wife, and she admitted that she overheard Tess and two of her friends laughing about how creepy I am. Her opinion of Tess has been substantially lowered. I asked my other two daughters-in-law whether they thought I was creepy and they were astonished that anyone would think so.

They both want to talk to Tess, but I asked them not to. My son said that Tess shared her feelings about me in confidence and he doesn’t want her to know he told me.

Should I wait until after the marriage and try to talk to Tess? My other family members say to let it go and that she’ll get to know me better with time, but I’m not so sure. Ian has been dating Tess for nearly three years and she’s had plenty of opportunities to get to know me. Any advice? -- Not a Creepy Guy Dear Guy: We don’t know why Tess thinks you are creepy. There may be something about you that reminds her of a less-savory character. Or her definition of “creepy” might be different than yours.

It is also possible that Tess is setting the stage for keeping Ian away from his family after the marriage.

You need to discuss this openly and your wife has provided the perfect excuse to do so without compromising your son. With other family members present, especially Ian, tell Tess what your wife overheard.

Ask her why she thinks you are “creepy” and how the two of you can overcome it in order to have a better relationship.

Frankly, we would be wary of any young woman who turns her future father-inlaw into an object of derision with her girlfriends. Tread carefully.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Please Stop,” who is on a fixed income, but feels guilty when she receives constant requests from charities for donations.

Last year, between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, I wrote down every request we received from a charity. Using the smallest amount that I would have sent, the total for my donations would have come to $7,151. As my wife and cannot afford this amount, we no longer feel guilty about not sending money to anyone. -- C. Dear C.: We wish more people could leave the guilt out of these decisions. One should only donate to those charities you support, in the amount your budget can handle.

BMO celebrates volunteerism with Starlite gift For the Townsman

Cranbrook, BC… BMO encourages and supports its employees as they devote their time, energy and passion to giving back. The financial institution provides opportunities for employees to do charitable work, during business hours.

Beyond the benefits to communities, BMO’s support

for employee’s efforts has a positive impact on the organization itself. Through volunteer work, employees gain opportunities for personal growth, developing strength in leadership, team-building and creative thinking.

Recently BMO recognized the volunteer efforts of Theresa Larson, Senior Commercial

Account Manager for her work as a Director on the Board with the EKFH with a $1,100 donation to the foundation’s annual Starlite Campaign.

The funds are being allocated toward the purchase of three oximeters for the Cranbrook Community Wellness Program. A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly

monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient’s blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin.

Interested in learning more about becoming a member of the EKFH board? Call our office at 1-877-489-6481 for more information.

Freeski competition at Fernie Alpine Resort Bryn C at ton Fernie Free Press

Over the weekend, Fernie Alpine Resort (FAR) was host to the second stop on the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Jeep Junior Freeski series. The event was also the second of four International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) National Events in Canada. Over 100 skiers were in the qualifying rounds that took place on Saturday and the finals were held for those who made it through on Sunday. There were four categories that were separated by gender and age, the girls aged 12-14 had 19 skiers, girls aged 15-18 had 14 representatives and boys aged 12-14 had 36, while boys aged 15-18 had 40 skiers.

The Fernie Big Mountain Team or the Fernie Freestyle Team represented Fernie in every category. “[We had] 23 competitors from home clubs, There was a strong showing from Fernie team members with Claire McPherson coming in 2nd in the Girls 12-14 Category and Tyler Stack coming in 1st in the Boys 12-14 age category,” said

Freeskiers dropped into Big Bang during Saturday’s qualifying heats for the Jeep Junior Freeski Series.

Jeni Sugiyama, Fernie Alpine Resort Events Coordinator.

The hills conditions leading up to the event were like spring-skiing so the qualifiers that were supposed to happen over two days was consolidated to one.

“Snow conditions were a little hard packed on Friday so we postponed the qualifiers to Saturday; knowing there was snow in the forecast. With the help of the Griz and the Fernie Factor the 35cm of fresh snow on Friday night meant the conditions

were fantastic for the Qualifiers on Saturday and Finals on Sunday,” said Sugiyama.

Competitors were happy to see fresh snow and had fun at the event.

“We had good feedback from the competitors and of course having fresh powder always helps,” said Sugiyama.

The event is one of Sugiyama’s favorites because the competitors share their love for skiing with one another.

“This event is one of our favourites. Freeski events are

unique in the fact that there is a great camaraderie amongst competitors. They wait at the bottom of the venue to cheer other competitors on and celebrate with each other in the finish coral,” said Sugiyama. “It’s always great to see the smiles on the kids faces when they nail their run. Even though it is still a competitive event it’s a great atmosphere that is created and is always a highlight of these events.”

While the event had many sponsors, FAR was also very thankful for the people that were behind the scenes.

“Huge thanks go to the entire team up at the resort. This event is a big event to put on and requires a lot of cooperation between the operations, snow safety and food & beverage departments,” said Sugiyama.

“After the snowfall on Friday, patrol worked really hard to ensure our venues were safe and we could get on them as soon as possible to get the competition under way. A huge thanks goes out to all the competitors that showed up both locally and from far away.”
