It was a thrilling weekend for Dynamiters fans, but the team is going to have to go at least one more to eliminate arch rival Fernie. After beating the Ghostriders on Friday night at home, the Nitros lost Saturday and so have a chance to clinch the series at home tonight. The game starts at 7 p.m. Above, the Dynamiters in action Saturday in Fernie.

Getting youth involved with the community Youth steering committee seeing success C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley youth have a message for the community — we are a viable part of Kimberley.

Kimberley’s Youth Steering Committee — a group of teens aged 12 to 18 — has been active in Kimberley for the past couple of years, trying to find ways for youth to be more involved in the community. They vis-

ited Kimberley City Council last week to report on their activities.

The group meets twice a month to brainstorm ideas on how to create community-based programs that open the doors to a diverse group of youth.

Meetings, called Youth Café, are held at the Snowdrift Café. A key is coming up wtih ways to get youth involved with the broader community.

the East Kootenay (RDEK) and the Kelowna Fire Department as they shift their dispatch services to the City of Kelowna beginning May 30.

On Wednesday, the RDEK and City of Kelowna announced the signing of the new fire dispatch contract, approved for $1,084,877 over five years which will provide dispatch and records management for the 16 fire departments located in the RDEK – including the City of Cranbrook.

“Discussions between the City of Cranbrook and the RDEK have been ongoing for close to a year now, in anticipation of the expiry of our current dispatch contract,” says Scott Driver, Deputy Director of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services.

“After an exhaustive look at the current dis-

patch delivery model, and the introduction of new Fire Service Regulations, it was determined that the City of Cranbrook would not seek to renew its dispatch contract with the Regional District of East Kootenay.”

City staff identified that the community would be more effectively served by the fire department if it were to focus efforts on local emergency response and prevention activities.

“This led us into a partnership with the RDEK to find a dispatch provider for the region, beginning this spring,” Driver said. “The process resulted in a contract being awarded to Kelowna Fire Department thatmeets the needs of our entire region and at a rate that we could not compete with locally.”

Kelowna to provide fire dispatch services to RDEK Services currrenlty provided

by Cranbrook move to Kelowna

What’s Up?

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

UPCOMING

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 people 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 existing 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 Whit-

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 ing, 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 up-to-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.”

Youth Steering Committee seeing successes From Page 1 The group just finished working on the “Antibully Pink T-Shirts” initiative. They partnered with Selkirk Secondary to share the message that bullying is not okay in our schools or in our community. Students drew and painted messages on each pink t-shirt which were later sold for a toonie to students at the high school.

Getting involved with other organizations in the community has also worked well. For instance, members of the Kimbelrey Arts Council spoke to the group about an adjudicated youth art exhibit. Some of the members from the Youth Steering Committee not only participated but they also assisted the Arts Council in recruiting young artists to get involved.

Du r i ng the

brain-storming sessions, the group try to come up with ideas that will appeal to a broad cross section of youth. Not all youth are artists, not all are athletes. However, one thing that was agreed on was that there was not much to do i the evening.

That led the committee to approach the Bean Tree Café if they would open in the evenings for a “just youth café”. The evening has evolved inot an open mic coffee house night for teens once a month and has drawn as many as 50 local teens out to sing, share poetry and get to know each other.

The youth say the project has really grown into a culture…. they feel they are really contributing to our community.

The group has now decided to hold Kimberley’s Got Talent shows twice a year at Centre 64 because the talent coming out to

these open mic nights is so strong. Some of the youth are also gaining enough confidence to take to the stage at Home Grown Coffee House performances.

The group has also partnered with Get Outside BC for several events that get youth outdoors and participated on bike rides with the Kootenay Freewheelers Club.

Youth want to be behind closed doors but be seen as active contributing citizens, they say, therefore; events, meetings, and activities are held in public open spaces some of which include: Centre 64, Kimberley Ski Resort, Kimberley Nordic Centre, Snowdrift Café, Bean Tree Café, Stonefire Pizzeria, Rocky Mt International Student Learning Centre, Selkirk High School, BC Parks venues, and Kimberley Public Library.

A history of proving doubters wrong New book on Christy Clark traces her path from outsider to member of the establishment VAUGH N PA LM E R Vancouver Sun

As

Premier Christy Clark tells it, her attitudes about leadership, winning elections and media relations were all shaped by what unfolded in 1991, a momentous year in B.C. political history.

The year that brought the New Democrats to power under Mike Harcourt and finished off Social Credit also saw the upstart B.C. Liberals under then leader Gordon Wilson go from nowhere to official Opposition status.

Clark, who turned 26 that year, was in the thick of things as a Liberal party organizer and all-around keener.

“As a political activist I realized that the ’91 election had fundamentally changed politics in B.C. and that we had been part of it,” she says. “When you’re seen as a perennial underdog; the predicted loser; written off as irrelevant, and then you finally prevail, it makes you appreciate that anything is possible. You’re just driven to prove people wrong.”

The quote is from a lengthy interview with Clark in On the Edge of the Ledge, a recent book on the rise of the B.C. Liberal party by Wilf Hurd. Hurd was among the first wave of Liberals elected in 1991 and briefly overlapped with Clark after she made the transition from staffer to MLA in 1996.

While the book recounts in detail how the also-ran Liberals transformed themselves into the party of choice on the centre right, some of the more telling insights are supplied by Clark herself.

She credits the prove-the-doubterswrong experience of the 1991 campaign with stiffening her resolve in her first two “terrible” years as party leader and premier, when pollsters, pundits and party members alike were writing her off.

“I was being hammered every day by the media; and by some of my own guys; and it never seemed to show signs of letting up,” she told author Hurd. “But I think

I always knew that if I could make an opportunity to carry the election on my own shoulders and make my own case to British Columbians, we could still win. Because that’s what Wilson succeeded in doing. He essentially won that election even though we ended up in Opposition.”

Clark and Wilson fell out in the 1990s when he quit the Liberals after losing the leadership to Gordon Campbell and later took a cabinet post in the New Democratic Party government. But she clearly regards Wilson as more of a role model, never mind that she served with Campbell in the house for almost 10 years.

“I always viewed Gordon Wilson as a political force of nature,” says Clark. “I saw first hand how hard he worked and how often he was out there shaking hands. No matter what the setback, he was prepared to work even harder.”

She cites Wilson, whom her government has lately employed as a $150,000-a-year advocate on liquefied natural gas, as inspiration for her own winning campaign against Adrian Dix and the New Democrats in 2013.

“The leader can carry an election and we often underestimate this … I felt that people needed to see me, to hear what I stood for and to learn where I thought the province needed to go. I wanted to make people understand who I really was, without the media filter, and that my mission wasn’t just about ‘fighting with the other guys’ it was to explain and define our mission.”

Speaking of the media filter, the 1991 experience supplied her with a healthy perspective in that regard as well.

“The media and particularly the press gallery in Victoria just trashed Wilson,” recalled Clark. “They wrote him off as irrelevant with no mainstream connections and backers and not up to the task.”

I covered that campaign and would note that the coverage was even rougher on Social Credit, while Wilson benefited from favourable burst of coverage late in

the campaign. But these are Clark’s memoirs, not mine.

“What I now understand about the media is that they’re not as influential and relevant to the outcome in politics as they think they are and often tell people they are,” says the premier. “They are not able to shape public opinion about a lot of things, because people make their own judgments.”

Clark formed lasting political bonds in 1991, starting with the “now legendary road trip” where she and fellow organizer Mike McDonald toured the province drafting candidates to fill out the Liberal slate.

Once, after lining up a nominee over the phone, she confided to McDonald only half jokingly: “I sure hope that candidate wasn’t phoning from the jailhouse because I just approved his candidacy and I don’t know anything about him.”

McDonald remains an ally to this day, manager of her successful bid for the party leadership and later of the 2013 election.

“A lot of the people who are being given credit as being the campaign geniuses from 2013 are personal friends of mine whom I personally recruited into the party or encouraged to come to B.C. and join us,” says Clark. “Because you share such huge highs and such terrible, tragic lows, it really tests all your friends. You get to know people and you draw strength from them to get you through the down times because of your shared experiences together.”

She and the Liberals have of course broadened their support from those days, recruiting more than a few old Socreds, Conservatives, Reformers and others to their cause. Still the clear impression that emerges from Hurd’s book is of a band of outsiders who crashed the system and made themselves the political establishment of today.

Lady Avs tops at Provincials; Men finish fourth Barry Coulter Townsman Editor

Fifteen years after the inception of College of the Rockies Avalanche Volleyball, there is gold coming to Cranbrook.

The COTR Women’s Avalanche are PacWestProvincial Champions, after an intense comefrom-behind five-set victory over the top-ranked Vancouver Island University Mariners, and are now off to the National Championships in Prince Edward Island, along with the Mariners.

The Men’s team finished the championship tournament in fourth.

Provincials this year were hosted by Columbia Bible College in Abbottsford.

The Lady Avs, ranked sixth going into the tournament, reached the gold medal spot after a series of upsets — burying the number-three ranked Camosun College Chargers on Thursday, the number-two ranked Capilano Blues on Friday, and finally the Mariners on Saturday.

On Saturday, the Mariners pulled out to a two sets to none lead.

But the Avs battled back to win the third set 25-22, and the fourth set 25-20.

“VIU was fantastic at the beginning — serving well, just very disci-

plined,” Avs coach John Swanson told Ryan Watters of PacWest. “We were down 12-4 at one point, but we didn’t panic. We just chipped away.

“Losing the first set wasn’t easy, but the comeback and the momentum was just huge.

And they’ve been like that all year — it’s been incredible effort and a never-say-die attitude.”

Outstanding passing was the key, Swanson told Watters, and remarked on the point where the momentum began to shift in the Avs’ favour.

“Any coach would say the game always comes down to serving and passing. We were stuggling at moments, and VIU’s a very good serving team … they find the people they want to serve to. So as coaches, we challenge some of our players to expect the ball. And you go back to the little things, the skill sets and the small little notes.

The passing got better, Swanson said, “and then we have the option of getting [the ball] to any of our hitters. Then it’s hard for the opposition because they have to cover multiple hitters.”

After winning the fourth set to tie the match was set for a fur-

nace of a sudden death 15-point fifth set. And Swanson told the players to play aggressively.

“It’s all about momentum,” he said. “We won the fourth set, and it’s important when you start a new set to keep that momentum going.

And because it’s 15 points, you have to be aggressive — you can’t play safe. If they block us or if we hit it out we can live with that because our motto is ‘just stay aggressive.’ And also being smart — don’t go after shots if they aren’t there, and don’t get into tipping and don’t get into rolls.

“The fifth set is always a flip of the coin anyway.”

Swanson said Ari Benwell was serving well for the Avalanche in the fifth set.

“In a short set like that, if we get a couple of passing errors on the other side, the stress just elevates and we keep putting the pressure on.”

The Avs took the fifth set 15-10 to win gold.

Five of the Avalanche players had at least 10 kills, led by tournament MVP Kelsey Thompson.

And Alexa Koshman was the difference maker with 26 digs to lead the team.

The COTR Avalanche will join the VIU Mariners in representing B.C.

at the 2016 CCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship, March 9-12, at Holland College in Prince Edward Island.

On the Men’s side, VIU also medalled, taking the bronze medal match over the College of the Rockies Avalanche.

Pacwestbc.ca reported that the Men’s Mariners played outstanding defence, knowing the Avalanche were without their best player, Patrik Toze, who was sidelined with a lower body injury. Avalanche played a gritty match without Toze, but the Mariners collected 14 blocks frustrating the Avalanche, and would go on to win 25-16, 27-25 and 25-21.

But the Men’s squad also shone throughout the tournament, falling just short of a Cinderella finish. The Men’s Avs, ranked fifth going into provincials, upset the No. 4 University of Fraser Valley Cascades.

Pacwestbc.ca reported that the the Avs were down 24-19 in the fourth set, but “stormed back to win the set and the match 26-24, punching their ticket to the semi.”

The Camosun Chargers won the Men’s semi in three sets, 25-19.

25-19 and 25-17, during which Toze sustained his injury.

Hoflin becomes Ice all-time saves leader

Veteran goaltender establishes new franchise saves record Friday Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With Wyatt Hoflin 20 saves from establishing a new Kootenay Ice franchise record, the countdown was on Friday night at Western Financial Place.

During the second period of play, the 21-year-old native of Spruce Grove, Alta., established a new Kootenay Ice franchise record for saves, turning aside defenceman Chance Patterson to make his 20th stop of the night against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

On the play, Patterson sent a long, booming slap shot from the point in on the Kootenay net.

In typical Wyatt Hoflin fashion, the veteran goaltender calmly and cooly booted out a leg to kick out the puck, making his 4,189th career stop to surpass Nathan Lieuwen as the Kootenay Ice all-time franchise leader for saves.

The achievement didn’t go without recognition, as all those in attendance gave the humble netminder a warm standing ovation when the announcement was

made at the next stoppage.

By the end of the weekend, Hoflin pushed his franchise-leading total to 4,230 saves (and counting).

“It’s huge for me, from where I came from to where I am now is leaps and bounds,” Hoflin said Friday night.

“It’s a reward for the hard work I’ve put in.

“It’s been a learning experience, really. It is a development league for a reason. That’s exactly what I did when I came here. The things you learn along the way, the

experiences you go through to get to where you are when you leave the Western Hockey League, it’s unbelievable.”

Hoflin’s record-setting save was the ultimate highlight in an otherwise forgettable night for the Kootenay Ice as they went on to fall 6-2 to the Edmonton Oil Kings in front of 2,593 fans on Pink the Rink anti-bullying night at Western Financial Place.

Hoflin becomes Ice saves leader Continued from page 6 “That’s what’s so disappointing about the night, I know it’s hard to have any night be special with the way our year has gone, but you want to make this as memorable as you can for Wyatt,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Friday night. “It’s a huge accomplishment that gets overshadowed and it’s unfortunate because it’s a big honour for him.

“His work ethic throughout this entire year to keep himself as an elite goaltender in our league, it’s something I think some of our young guys maybe won’t appreciate until they’re running into their 20-year-old year.”

In a rebuilding year for a young hockey team, the veteran Hoflin has been a standout on a nightly basis.While most fans and pundits focus on statistics like goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts, often overlooked is the fact Hoflin sits third in the entire WHL with 1,445 saves to his credit to this point in the 2015-16 season.

“He’s a good friend of mine and I’ve played with him these last three

seasons,” said Ice alternate captain Matt Alfaro. “I’m really proud of the guy. I’m happy it’s him [holding the saves record]. He’s a great part of our team, he keeps us in games and he’s a great puck mover.

“He’s a great leader.”

Despite his best efforts, Hoflin’s presence wasn’t enough to steal a victory on this night as the Oil Kings scored three times in the second period to put the game all but out of reach.

Tyler Robertson, Lane Bauer, Dario Meyer, Brett Pollock, Davis Koch and Aaron Irving provided the offense for the Oil Kings, while Alfaro registered both goals for the Ice. Saturday night, the Ice responded with a spirited effort against a high-flying Portland Winterhawks squad, but fell 4-3 in overtime as Latvian import Rihards Bukarts thrust the dagger with only 56 seconds remaining in the extra period.

“The fact that we’re that competitive in that game, and I understand it’s the end of their [road] trip and they’re probably a little slow,

but we played the majority of the night with nine forwards and six defencemen,” Pierce said Saturday night.

“Our guys were a little bit gassed, but our will compete and stay in it [is a positive].

“I thought we were a lot more responsible today. It gives you that little bit of encouragement that there’s still hope to keep working and that they want to get better and that we’re capable of being a better team.

“It’s too bad you don’t get rewarded with a win. It’s hard to reinforce your message when you lose the game, but I think the guys will look back on it and realize they did a lot of good things.”

Pierce started the game one skater short before losing Roman Dymacek to injury late in the first period. Then in the early stages of the third period, defenceman Troy Murray left down the tunnel after a scary incident, that for the most part, went relatively undetected in the building.

Murray laid a heavy hit on Winterhawks forward Alex Schoenborn

Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, pictured Friday night, became the Kootenay Ice all-time leader in saves (4,230) this past weekend, surpassing Nathan Lieuwen (4,188) Friday night. in front of the Kootenay crease.

Schoenborn went crashing into the post and appeared to take the worst of the impact on the play, but it was actually Murray who ended up on the scary end of the incident.

Of no fault to Schoenborn, his skate came up as he was sent airborne and clipped the Ice defender in the neck. According to Pierce, no major artery was struck and though there was plenty of blood, Murray is okay outside of need-

Nitros push ‘Riders to brink

Fernie manages to extend series to Game 5 Monday in Kimberley

Tre vor Cr awley Townsman Staff

The Kimberley Dynamiters surged ahead to a 3-0 series lead over the Fernie Ghostriders, with a win by the same tally at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Friday night.

It was scoring by committee, as Trey Doell, Keenan Haase and Trevor Van Steinburg hit the stats sheet while goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 28 saves to earn the shutout.

Pushed to the brink of elimination, the Ghostriders fought to live another day, earning a 3-1 triumph in Game 4 Saturday night at Fernie Memorial Arena.

Game 5 is set for Monday night (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The Dynamiters special teams came up huge with some key penalty kills, denying Fernie the chance to score on all seven of their power

plays Friday.

“It’s all about goaltending and specialty teams,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks following Friday’s victory. “Your best penalty killer is our goalie and our goalie’s been phenomenal, so our penalty kill’s been good.

“I like the effort in our penalty kill, I like the shot-blocking and everything we do, which helps us.”

On the flip side of the penalty kill was the success of the power play, which was good for two goals in seven opportunities with the man-advantage.

The emotion was on full display as well, with the Nitros going hard to the net after every save from Brandon Butler, which sometimes boiled over into more than pushing and shoving.

After a scoreless first period, the Nitros got on the board in the middle frame on a power play

goal from Doell, who teed up a drive from the blue line that redirected off a Fernie defender. Initially the goal was credited to Nitro forward Korbyn Chabot, who was busy making life difficult for Butler in the crease.

That would be Doell’s first career playoff goal in a Dynamiter uniform.

At the 3:02 mark of the second, just as a Fernie penalty expired, Haase worked his way into the slot and snapped home a slick feed from Richter, who fed him from the goal line.

In the third period, the Nitros had a bit of a scare as Haase went down in the corner and headed to the bench, skating off under his own power after play was stopped.

The two teams continued to trade stints in the penalty box in the final frame, but it was Van Steinburg who found the back of the net by redirecting a low

shot from James Farmer.

“You just gotta keep playing hard,” said Nitro captain Jason Richter.

“The last 20 [minutes] going into the third there, during the intermission, we talked about how it’s the last 20 miles, we’re up 2-0 and we just have to bear down on all our clears, our dumps, pucks in, pucks out and just bear down.”

Saturday in Fernie, the Ghostriders received goals from Nolan Lagace and Aidan Wilson, with Evan Reid scoring into the empty net. Tanner Wit responded for the Dynamiters.

With Jeff Orser unavailable, Butler took to the crease for his two starts of the series this weekend.

“You just have to make sure you focus on the moment,” Bancks said. “Don’t get too high, don’t get too low and every game is hard to win. It’s gonna be tough to win the fourth one.”

ing stitches and time to heal.

“That was a pretty scary incident,” Pierce said. “He took a skate to the throat and luckily it missed everything vital there. But a real scary incident for him and for our whole team. To see a guy leave the bench — there was a lot of blood and stuff going on — so it was good news to hear that he just needs some stitches, most likely.”

Alex Schoenborn scored twice and Blake Heinrich added the game-tying tally for the

Winterhawks.

A reunited ‘A-to-Z’ line featuring Alfaro, Jesse Zaharichuk and Zak Zborosky combined for a pair of nice goals in the first period. While Alfaro did all the scoring Friday, it was Zaharichuk and Zborosky converting Saturday.

Noah Philp added a second period marker to round out the home team’s scoring.

Hoflin was once again sharp, turning aside 28 shots in the overtime loss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be willing to accept more responsibility as you head in a key direction. Others will make helpful suggestions, or they will at least trigger conversations that point to new options. Be grateful for this group of associates or friends. Tonight: You have a lot to smile about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Make calls to those who have a different mental position from yours. You have the ability to visualize much more than the majority of people around you.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: People think they know how eating disorders start, but I want to share my story, which might surprise people. I never set out to have an eating disorder. In fact, I didn’t even set out to lose weight. However, after I took up running to relieve stress and ended up losing a few pounds, I was pleasantly surprised by how people reacted to me and how I felt about myself.

Pretty soon, running became more of an obligation than something I did to relieve stress. Then, I became obsessed with everything I ate. I had to eat certain things at certain times of the day and it all had to be super healthy. My world was getting smaller and smaller, as I eliminated various foods and drinks. Being with friends who questioned my habits became too much effort, so I withdrew socially.

Without friends around to keep me in check, the weight dropped off drastically and I became emaciated. I thought I was fine.

Finally, my parents stepped in and threatened me with involuntary hospitalization, so I submitted to treatment. It wasn’t easy, and I mourned the loss of my hypercontrolled life. But it was worth it. Not only did it save my life, but also it enabled me to have a life filled with normal, fun activities that would not have been possible when I was sick. I remember the first time I went out for Mexican food with friends after my recovery. I ate enchiladas and drank a margarita and realized that I was rediscovering a life that I thought I had lost forever.

I want people to know that treatment is effective. There is a great life out there waiting for them. -- Rachel

Dear Rachel: Thank you. Eating disorders and body dissatisfaction affect men and women of all races and all walks of life. They have the highest rate of mortality of any mental illness.

Unfortunately, of the 30 million men and women who suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder during their lifetime, only a small percentage seeks treatment. There are free and anonymous screenings available at MyBodyScreening. org, where you will be provided with local resources and can take the first step toward healing. We hope our readers and their loved ones will check it out.

Dear Annie: Like “Bah, Humbug,” my family also includes people who are better off than others. At Christmas, we give to charity. We try to find a worthy cause that the relative would appreciate. My father likes to build things, so I might choose a bag of nails for Habitat for Humanity. For my brother, I once chose a portion of a donkey from the Heifer Project. He had great fun with that when people would ask him what he got.

You could do this any time during the year and then send a card at Christmas telling the person of your gift in their honor. It leaves everyone with a good feeling, and they know they have helped others. -- No Stress Dear No Stress: This type of gift is a wonderful idea and can be tailored to anyone’s specific interests. As always, please check out the charity with one of the watchdog organizations such as charitynavigator.org, charitywatch.org or give.org.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wade Luzny, CEO and Executive Vice-President of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Wade left us peacefully on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016 at the age of 61 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his mother Stephie Luzny (nee Menzul) and father Frank Luzny.

Wade will always be missed by his soul mate and wife Karen (nee Fyfe), cherished daughter, Olivia, and many family, friends and colleagues. Wade dedicated his life to many charitable and educational causes, leading the Canadian Wildlife Federation to new heights since 2005. Prior to this he worked with the multicultural community and government in Saskatchewan with many landmark achievements. Wade was a visionary, with the kind of leadership that comes from the heart.

He won the Ernest Thomas Seton Award for the best conservation messaging medium for a film on wetland habitat while he was working for the Saskatchewan Department of Parks and Renewable Resources.

He enjoyed travelling the world, meeting new people, mentoring youth, boating, skiing and spending time with family. Wade was not afraid to take risks and lived life to the fullest, always trying in any way possible to make the world a better place. He will be remembered for many things, but his top priority was encouraging and enabling youth to experience and appreciate the many wonders of nature.

Lawrence Gilbert Hunter “Larry” - “L.G.” 1930 – 2016 It is with profound sorrow and a sense of relief that we announce the passing of Lawrence on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at East Kootenay Regional Hospital. He was 85. Larry fought a courageous five year battle with cancer.

He was born on June 9, 1930 at the Tadanac Hospital in Trail, to Russell and Francis Hunter, the youngest of six children. Lawrence received his schooling in Trail, BC. At the age of seventeen he gained employment with CP Rail in Tadanac where he worked as a wiper of locomotive engines for a few months and in December of 1947 he was transferred to Cranbrook as a locomotive fireman.

He has considered Cranbrook his primary residence since that time. Also in December 1947 he met his future wife, Jessie Sparks. Lawrence courted Jessie off and on between railway transfers for five years, and they married in 1952 and started their family of three sons in 1955.
