City of Cranbrook’s water main, hydrant operations ongoing

The City’s annual flushing operations of both our water mains and inspection of our fire hydrants continues.

Work began in late March and is expected to continue until at least the end of April.

“Once crews visit your neighbourhood and do their flushing and hydrant testing operations, it kicks up sediment in the water lines, which makes your water dirty,” says Chris Zettel, Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook.

Cranbrook RCMP are warning the public of a scam artist preying on individuals looking to rent houses using the Kijiji app or website.

“The subject uses the name ‘John BROWN’ and responds to want adds that renters have posted,” RCMP said in a press release.

“They provide a story of tragedy to justify renting the house. They will forward accurate information from a valid advertisement, photos and documentation.

“In addition, they request a substantial deposit but will not issue a receipt or allow house viewing until the deposit is received.”

Cranbrook RCMP is advising the public to be cautious with situations where money is requested upfront. In most cases the offender will not meet with you in person or provide their true identity.

Symphony wraps up 40th season Yme Woensdregt

T

he final concert of the 40th anniversary season of the Symphony of the Kootenays was held on Saturday night. It was a wonderful evening of music, perhaps the finest of the season. The orchestra played with enthusiasm and drive.

The concert opened with “Frenergy” by Canadian composer John Estacio. It was sheer excitement, a pulse– pounding ride which challenged every section of the orchestra— and each one rose to the challenge. It featured a huge percussion section which—if you’ll pardon the pun—started the piece off with a bang.

The second work in the first half was Mozart’s beautiful Clarinet Concerto, which featured our own Nicola Everton as the soloist.

This concerto is one of the outstanding works in the repertoire, and Everton played it mag-

nificently. She has a beautiful tone, crystal clear in the upper register and rich in the lower register. She matches that flawless tone with an amazing technique.

The orchestra supported her with a gorgeous, luscious tone. They clearly love playing Mozart, and supported the clarinet soloist so that she could shine and delight us with this amazing music.

The second half featured Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony. It is called the “Little Russian” because Tchaikovsky used several Ukrainian folksongs to great effect in the work.

At the time, Ukraine was often referred to as Little Russia. The orchestra played robustly and playfully, singing Tchaikovsky’s beautiful melodies, and ending with the full orchestra in a joyful, triumphant climax.

It was a spectacular concert, filled with ener-

All who were present left with melodies in their hearts and huge smiles on their faces.

There was also a touch of sadness at this concert. We said goodbye to three longtime

members of the orchestra. Violinist Vic Neufeld and violist Stephanie Judy have played with the orchestra almost since its inception. We also said goodbye to Wendy Herbison, who

has been part of the orchestra since 1988, and Concertmaster since 1995. She has been a consummate professional and a dedicated member of this orchestra, as well as a mentor

and guide of considerable skill and talent. She has been an inspiration to numbers of young musicians, and we will all miss her. Wendy, thank you for the musical gifts you have

brought to the Kootenays.

Tickets for next season are on sale now. Be sure to buy yours. It is an extraordinarily great deal if you love music and the arts.

e were treated to an amazing evening of musical theatre on Friday night at McKim Theatre in Kimberley. The students of Selkirk Secondary School put on an absolutely outstanding production of the musical Rent. It is a difficult piece. It is also, as director Sven Heyde writes, “one of the most powerful works of modern musical theatre.”

The story, loosely based on Puccini’s opera La Boheme, follows artists living in poverty in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. The show deals with difficult and important themes of human sexuality, AIDS, poverty, and homelessness, and the marginalization of the poor by the rest of society. Tough stuff! Important stuff! We may want to shove it under the rug, but we can’t.

It is precisely this which makes the show so powerful. In one song, the cast sings in an AIDS support group, “Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?” If you can feel at all, you cannot help but be affected by this plaintive plea.

One of the central characters is Angel, a drag queen. Here is a

drag queen who knows how to live, fully and completely. She loves with abandon and embodies life in all its fullness even though she is dying of AIDS. Jason van Zyl was magnificent in the role, bringing a verve and confidence which mirrored Angel’s life–giving vision of what it means to be alive. Even as Angel dies near the end, her death binds the other characters even more closely together.

The narrator, Mark Cohen, is a filmmaker who tends to stand on the sidelines as he documents a year in the life. He wants to be an observer rather than a participant. Terek Flowers captured this exquisitely in his portrayal of Mark. Mac Ramsay as the struggling songwriter Roger brought a wonderful sense of the tormented artist to the role.

Brooke Janzer caught the essence of Mimi, the exotic dancer at the Cat Scratch Club. She’s a junkie and is also HIV+. The heartbreak of her life is that she only values herself through her body. She shows in microcosm what all too many people struggle with.

Courtney Crawford brought a perfect sense of timing and joie de vivre to her role as Maureen. At one point in her “performance

piece,” she had the whole audience moo–ing quite robustly.

Drew Lyall’s portrayal of Tom Collins the teacher was spot on.

Lyall and van Zyl captured the chemistry between Collins and Angel perfectly and courageously.

The whole cast was terrific.

The band was tight. These are well–known musicians in our area: Kaley Wasylowich on keyboards, Jim Cameron and Allison Stoddart on guitars, Janice Nicli on bass and Sven Heyde on drums. They supported this young cast and helped them shine as they brought this very difficult and contemporary musical to life.

Jonathan Larsen, the lyricist and composer of Rent, wrote, “In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and [we] should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.”

Kudos to Sven Heyde for his courage in putting the musical on.

It was a huge risk—yet Rent shows us again and again that life cannot be lived without risk. How do you measure life? In seasons of love.

Jamie Casselman receives the Dave Murray award as the top Canadian U16 performer at the Whistler Cup.

Jamie Casselman carves around a gate during a run in the Super G event of the Whistler Cup—finishing third for a bronze medal.

Jamie Casselman top Canadian at Whistler Cup Tre vor Cr awley

Following a weekend of racing at the Whistler Cup, Cranbrook ski racer Jamie Casselman was honoured with the Dave Murray award for the top performance by a Canadian Male.

Casselman, with top-five finishes in disciplines of slalom, giant slalom and super G, was at the B.C. resort to test his abilities against a host of international competitors.

It’s been quite the season for the 15-year-old racer, who has been competing at races both at home and internationally in Europe.

“It’s been by far, my most exciting ski racing season in terms of experiences and results,” said Casselman. “I experienced training and racing in Italy and Switzerland and I won the Western Can-Ams. At the Whistler Cup, I was the top U16 Canadian athlete, achieving silver in slalom, bronze in Super G and fourth in giant slalom.”

Over three days, Casselman hit the podium twice with a 2nd place finish in slalom and a third place in Super G. He finished in fourth place

in the giant slalom, falling short of a bronze medal by only 0.19th of a second.

Despite warm weather that wreaked havoc on the track, race organizers and volunteers were able to keep the event going.

Starting things off with the Super G on the first day, Casselman had a bit of an interesting race, finishing with his first medal—a bronze with a time of 1:13.46.

“My run was good but a bit of a wild ride,” said Casselman. “I broke my pole early in the course so it was difficult to balance. I nailed a gate and it hurt quite a bit but I managed to recover.”

On the second day, Casselman struck silver, hitting the podium for the second straight day in slalom, making two runs with a combined time of 1:37.26.

“The second run was a bit slower than the first run but I put together two solid runs today,” said Casselman. “I held on for a rough second run as the conditions started deteriorating.”

On the final day of the competition, Casselman com-

peted in giant slalom, where he just barely missed out on hitting the podium with a combined time of 1:46.19 over two runs.

“My first run was definitely much better than the second,” said Casselman. “The conditions deteriorated the track and my second run was definitely a wild ride! It’s been a great weekend of competition and I’m really happy with how everything went.”

Casselman was part of the Canadian team that fielded nine boys and nine girls from all across the country. He started his skiing and racing fundamentals with Kimberly Alpine Team at the age of 5, and now trains out of Panorama Ski Club up in Invermere - soon transitioning into summer dryland training with another local coach.

A student of Mount Baker Secondary School, Casselman has worked out a program of online learning and support from his classroom teachers that allows him to stay on top of his schoolwork and spend five days a week at the ski hill to train during peak racing season.

NDP votes for leadership review; Mulcair likely out C anadian Press

EDMONTON - Members of the NDP have voted 52 per cent in favour of a federal leadership review, meaning Tom Mulcair doesn’t have the support to remain at the helm of the party.

Delegates at the party’s convention in Edmonton cast their ballots today as a festering dispute over the NDP’s future direction in the wake of last year’s devastating election loss finally came to a head.

Delegates were voting on whether or not to hold a leadership review; party president Rebecca Blaikie had already established 70 per cent support as an arbitrary threshold.

A bare-minimum 50 per cent plus one vote would have been necessary for Mulcair to stay on, let alone have anywhere near enough support for a confident mandate - a threshold some had pegged at closer to 70 per cent.

The vote comes less than six months after the party was badly outflanked by the Liberals in last October’s federal election and reduced to thirdplace status in the House of Commons.

The party began the campaign as the official Opposition and appeared poised to make a run at forming Canada’s first NDP government, only to collapse over the course of a historically long campaign and end up losing more than half its seats.

the Elizabeth Lake Visitor’s Centre on May 20 – just ahead of the May long weekend.

Due to some issues with the water service connection, the washrooms at the Kinsmen Park green belt will open late in April once re-

pairs are made. City park washrooms are open to the public generally from midApril until mid-October of each year; however that depends on the risk of freezing temperatures as none of the facilities are winterized for

year-round use.

The new washroom facility currently being built in Rotary Park to replace the old building is to be constructed so it can be used year round.

It is scheduled to operational in the spring of 2017.

Yes, you too can do next to nothing I’ve been old enough to know better for a long time now, but that hasn’t really cramped my style as much as some people would like. Occasionally, I wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, my eyes aren’t a little blurry, and the world doesn’t seem all that cruel and foreboding, but that doesn’t automatically put me in the mood to jump up, put on some sensible clothing, eat a healthy breakfast, and quickly try to get something done for the greater good.

Of course, there are people who spend a lot of time keeping track of things like this so they can tally it up and get it put on some big cosmic balance sheet, but luckily, they don’t live at my house, and there aren’t any plans to correct that.

This is not to say that we never get anything accomplished here at Chez Ne’erDo-Well. In fact, we’ve been known to fall into some impressive patches of inadvertent productivity despite ourselves. After all, these things can happen even when you’re not paying attention.

Admittedly, though, there are some days when it sneaks up on you. Without any careful planning, you find yourself

getting out there and getting-er-done. You might even get all caught up with the idea of doing productive things regularly and actively consider doing things you can take care of in a day or two if you really set your mind to it. However, a subsequent day or two of quiet contemplation and task avoidance convinces you that this will probably be as much fun as trying to blow your nose with a handful of popcorn.

Consider filing a tax reBob turn.

It’s one of those things Wakulich that has to get done, mostly because if you wait long enough, some hard-working operative from Revenue Canada will eventually explain the large number of fine and prison options available. For our part, we have been dutifully collecting all the necessary forms we need to do our returns this year in a large envelope called “Tax Crap” and we are now waiting until we can’t put it off any longer.

This is one of those things that results in those bursts of inadvertent productivity that I mentioned earlier, and it isn’t always something that carries a jail term.

There are times when the only way to fig-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ure out how to do something properly is to do something completely unrelated, like next to nothing, in order to let your brain consider it properly. This is probably why people like Albert Einstein used to get their best ideas doing things like shaving, and judging from most of his pictures, old Albert wasn’t always staying on top of that.

Many parents fall prey to the trap of relentless accomplishment because they hope to snuff out any que-sera-sera inclinations in their children. Trying to set a good example, they work like dogs and assume that once they imbue their sons and daughters with this idea at a young age, it will stick with them well into adulthood. What it really does, fortunately, is convince their children to move out as soon as they possibly can, and this is actually advantageous to both groups. Kids get on with their lives without fear of disappointing their moms and dads once or twice a day, while parents can stop pretending to be in a constant state of achievement in front of their children. In both cases, this is usually referred to as “getting mellow,” allowing for visits where everyone can sit out in the back yard, talk silly, and do next to nothing.

Flat Tax Vote

I watched, in disbelief, as the four councilors showed nothing but contempt for the process and their fellow councilors (who voted against the flat tax) – and ignored the Mayor’s plea for caution. They adamantly refused even a short delay of the proposal so that city staff could investigate it further.

It is hard to tell if this was ignorance of the way things should be done, or arrogance that it could be railroaded through, right or wrong. I think the citizens of Kimberley deserve to have this matter thoroughly investigated and the decision to eliminate the flat tax should be based on a sound financial basis rather than the ones put forward by these Councilors. When

the balance of the Council stated they could not in good conscience vote for their motion I would have thought the four would have enough common sense to delay this until it was proven it was in the best interest of the Citizens of Kimberley who deserve much better than this.

If you agree a phone call to City Hall prior to the Council meeting on April 11th would be a good place to let your feelings be known.

Vimy Ridge: A turning point of a war - and of a nation Canadians take Vimy Ridge April 9—12, 1917.

wikipedia.org

Canadian machine gunners operating from craters on the plateau above Vimy Ridge ridge during the war fearing taking on the Canadian storm troopers again.

News of the victory rang around the world. The New York Times said on April 11, 1917: “Canadians take ridge that no army could, the first big win on the western front.

The Canadians attack yesterday was astoundingly successful and took over 3,000 prisoners!”

After the war, Canada was given a separate signing as a nation on the Versailles’ treaty; no longer just a colony of Britain. Since Vimy Ridge, the Canadian Army has always been led by a Canadian (It was Arthur Currie in the Second World War). Prior to Vimy the Canadian Army was led by the British. This was a significant step in the nation building of Canada.

The Vancouver regiment that served at Vimy still exists today and some of its soldiers recently served in Afghanistan. Its armory is at the south end of the Burrard Bridge in Vancouver.

Vimy Ridge is now an enclave of Canada

fter the French suffered 150,000 casualties trying without success to secure the high ground of Vimy Ridge, the Canadians were given the task to take the long sloping escarpment.

Many soldiers from British Columbia regiments were there, including Vancouver’s 72nd Seaforth Highlanders. This would be the first time Canadian troops would fight as a nation, with all four Canadian divisions — 100,000 strong — working together.

April 9, 1917 — The 72nd Seaforth Highlanders waited through the night in Gobron tunnel on Vimy Ridge, safe from the war until zero hour which was at 5:30 a.m., when they would burst out of their protective tunnel and go over the top. The 72nd battalion was assigned an “honoured” spot between two high points of the ridge — Hill 145 (where a monument stands today) on the right and The Pimple on the left.

It was a blustery morning of sleet and snow with a west wind that fortunately drove into the faces of the enemy and the 72nd Seaforths made good time taking the first line. But a heavy barrage and intense machine gunfire caught them in a crossfire, their “honoured” position turned out to be difficult. Nevertheless, they pushed forward losing many soldiers and officers as they fought trench-totrench and hand-to-hand. The Germans fought like tigers but the Canadians were getting the upper hand by late afternoon had achieved their goal. By 4 p.m. most of the wounded were off the battlefield. The men of the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Vancouver who came out of the Gobron tunnel that Easter Monday morning suffered heavy casualties for their victory with only 62 escaping death or injury. With fresh reinforcements kept in reserve in the Gobron tunnel, the Seaforths took the rest of the The Pimple the next day.

Other Canadian battalions took Hill 145 over the next two days putting the complete ridge in the hands of the Canadians by April 12.

On April 13, the 72nd Seaforth “Kilties” swept down the other side of the ridge and entered the village of Givenchy, treading on the heels of the now thoroughly routed enemy.

Pushing rapidly through the streets, they entered the Vimy Angres trench system beyond the village. The enemy never took back the

Kootenay Ice ready to put disappointing season in rearview Taylo r Ro cc a Sports Editor

D

uring a pre-season game in Crowsnest Pass, Kootenay Ice president and general manager Jeff Chynoweth said he expected his young club might take some lumps over the course of the 2015-16 Western Hockey League season.

No one, Chynoweth included, ever imagined the severity of the bumps and bruises — both literal and metaphorical — that the Kootenay Ice went on to suffer this past campaign.

Finishing the season with a record of 12-536-1, the club posted the lowest win total and second lowest point total (31) in franchise history.

It was meant to be the start of a rebuilding year, which was going to be challenging enough to begin with. But the hockey gods decided to throw in a few more hurdles.

“It was very difficult, to put it mildly, but we knew it was coming,” Chynoweth said. “You couldn’t have projected everything that happened throughout the year. We certainly didn’t expect to only win 12 games, but that happens. We’ve been very fortunate to avoid that for a long time, but it was a very difficult year.

“Losing our key players for extended periods of time — there isn’t a team at any level that can lose their top players and have success.

For the players that we lost at the most inopportune times, it was very tough for us to recover. On the flip side of that, then you’re playing players in situations where they’re going to fail and you don’t give them a chance to improve. You’re playing them in situations where they fail and are left with no confidence.”

Over the course of the 72-game WHL regular season, Chynoweth’s Ice lost 263 man games to injury, an astounding figure.

Leading scorer Zak

The Kootenay Ice, including head coach Luke Pierce (back), are ready to move on from a difficult 2015-16 season.

Zborosky missed 14 games and second-leading scorer Matt Alfaro missed seven games.

Sniper Jaedon Descheneau — who registered 78 goals in 140 games from 2013-14 to 2014-15 — suited up for only two contests in 2015-16 after seeing his season come to an end due to a shoulder injury Oct. 6 at Prince Albert.

Prior to being dealt to the Red Deer Rebels, former captain Luke Philp was in and out of the lineup before a fractured ankle sidelined him in mid-November until well after he joined the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup hosts.

Cale Fleury, Tanner Lishchynsky, Austin Wellsby, River Beattie, Troy Murray, Max Patterson, Roman Dymacek and Dylan Stewart all missed varying time due to injury.

For lengthy stretches and on multiple different occasions, the medical wing was so full that head coach Luke Pierce was often left without the ability to dress a complete lineup with 18 skaters.

“Disappointment is the first thing that comes to mind,” Pierce said. “We knew the challenges that were going to be there, but those things kept compounding on themselves with the injuries.

“I’ve seen injuries all happening at the same time and you think your luck is just awful. But that happened on several occasions [this season] and it always seemed to be really key parts of your lineup.

Obviously, in game play, it affects you because you don’t have the full resources. But the bigger effect it had

on us is that you really need your veteran players, in a transitional-type of year, to teach and to show the way from their leadership and their experience in the game. We didn’t have that.

“You’re trying to emphasize that as a coaching staff all the time, but [the players] don’t have a benchmark with the Lukes, Jaedons and those types of kids, night in and night out, to reference back to. I think that took a big toll on our younger guys in teaching them the proper way to play in situational hockey.”

And so struggle the Kootenay Ice did, though things got progressively worse as the season wore on.

During the month of October, though the young club lost its fair share of games, six de-

feats were of the onegoal variety.

The situation completely derailed beginning with a 5-2 home loss to the Red Deer Rebels on Nov. 25. From there, the Ice dropped 16 consecutive games, including going completely winless during the entire month of December.

The club’s next victory finally came in the form a 3-1 road triumph Jan. 3 at Swift Current.

Though the Ice managed to string together consecutive wins, that simply led into another long skid that saw the team fall in 10 straight outings from Jan. 9 to Feb. 5.

To make matters worse, the Ice chalked up another lengthy losing streak of 13 games from Feb. 13 to March 11.

“You had guys in the

last month that were extremely burnt out,” Pierce said. “That’s not healthy for them as far as learning lessons and the right things, because you have to keep playing them because you don’t have numbers. They’re out there, their legs are gone, their brains are gone and they’re reinforcing some bad habits. That’s something we’ll certainly have to work on early in the season next year.”

Over the course of the entire campaign, the team never won more than two games consecutively.

Of their 12 triumphs, seven were of the onegoal assortment.

“Our biggest shortcoming, without question, was our inability to create offense and

spreading that amongst our lineup,” Pierce said.

“For the most part, start to finish, we really relied on two to three players to create offense for us and you can’t do that.

We needed better output from Vince Loschiavo, River Beattie and guys like that. They had tough years. A lot of that falls on them, but also falls on us in that maybe we mishandled their roles or their preparation as second-year players.

“Our inability to create offense certainly hampered our game.

You look at the defensive side of it, we gave up a lot of goals, but we showed a lot of improvement in that area during the second half.

It was to be expected with how young our defence was.”

Ice putting last season behind Continued from page 8

The offensive production ranked as the worst in the 22-team WHL as the Ice scored 155 goals — 27 goals less than the 21st-ranked Everett Silvertips.

With 32 and 22 goals, respectively, Zborosky and Alfaro accounted for 34.8 per cent of the team’s offensive output.

On the flip side, the Ice surrendered a leaguehigh 320 goals. Only the Saskatoon Blades (318 goals) really gave the Ice a run in that department.

“As a group, in general, we took a long time and I don’t know if we ever really did find ourselves as a team and who we were and our identity of how we wanted to play,” Pierce said. “Next year, having a little more familiarity with the players will allow you to forge that identity a lot sooner.”

With the regular season having concluded March 20 in Calgary, players met with coaches and management March 22 for exit meetings with sights set on the off-season and preparing for 201617.

“As an organization, you really have two options: there’s personal change, in that each player needs to come back in a better mindset, better shape, more prepared,” Pierce said. “The other option you’re left with is personnel change. There’s not a ton we can do, but at the end of the day, nobody here is going to accept 12 wins and think that we’re fine, move on, status quo. Players come back and reinvent themselves a little bit and that will go a long way to show that they didn’t accept the way things were either.

“We have to be ready to fully embrace our new identity of who we’re going to be. Really, Matt and Zak were the only two guys that were prominent members of the team in years past that maybe carry forward some of that identity. They’re ready to move on and embrace a new challenged and be the leaders of that group that forges a new path.”

After 12 wins and 31 points, having missed the post-season for the first time since 1997-98 and snapping a 16-year run of finishing at .500 or better, there really isn’t much option but to move onward and upward for the Kootenay Ice. With each player a year older and more experienced, Chynoweth expects nothing less when the 2016-17 campaign rolls around this fall.

“They’re going to be a year older, that’s the key thing,” Chynoweth said. “Nothing has changed in the Western Hockey League, you still win with quality 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds. A lot of our players are going to be a year older and it was a very difficult year for them as well. Hopefully they can learn from it and improve.

“We know this is not a short-term thing. This is a three- to five-year turnaround. That’s what happens in major junior hockey.

“We’ve avoided it, up until this year, for the previous 17 years. This isn’t like July 1 in the NHL where you can go and sign four or five free agents.

This is going to be a long and slow rebuild. Hopefully we’ll move quicker with our draft selections, but also with the maturity of some of your returning players.”

In the meantime, Chynoweth’s immediate focus is on preparing for the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, scheduled for May 5 in Calgary, in which his club holds the first-overall pick for the first time since moving to Cranbrook.

From there, attention turns to the 2016 CHL Import Draft, which perhaps provides the best opportunity for the savvy, veteran general manager to immediately improve his club.

“You’re always positive,” Chynoweth said. “It doesn’t matter if you had 31 points or 73 points, if you miss the playoffs, you miss the playoffs. Yeah, it was a tough year, but now it’s over. We move towards next year. I’m looking forward. Everyone is going to be a year older and a year smarter.

“Next year, everyone knows what to expect.

We’ve got the potential to return a lot of players and the coaches. I expect improvement in all areas.”

Sinclair scores 162nd career goal; Canada beats Dutch in soccer friendly C anadian Press

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands - Star striker Christine Sinclair scored the 162nd goal of her international career, and Canada defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in a women’s soccer friendly on Sunday.

Janine Beckie also scored for Canada, her eighth goal in 16 international appearances.

Stefanie van der Gragt replied for the Netherlands.

The win improved Canada’s record to 8-0-2 in 10 international matches in 2016 as it readies for the Olympic tournament in less than four months.

“I’m really happy with the performance today,” said Canada head coach John Herdman. “The Dutch are right up there, they’ve had results against France and Japan recently at home, so we

knew it would be tough.

What I loved about today is that we looked dangerous and I think that’s what we’ve been pushing this Canadian team towards.”

Sinclair opened the scoring in the 34th minute. From a Beckie corner kick, Sinclair escaped the pack in the box and flicked a low pass upwards past the goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal.

Canada made it 2-0 in the 56th minute. A long ball from defender Kadeisha Buchanan fell to Beckie, who beat a pair of Dutch defenders to bump up her scoring streak to three consecutive games.

“John challenged us before the game to bring some individual flare to the game and I think we did that consistently,” Sinclair said. “Holland is a very organised team and I thought we made

it difficult for them.”

The Dutch cut Canada’s lead to 2-1 on a 58th minute header by van der Gragt, but they

could not find an equalizer in the last 30-plus minutes.

Canada continues its tuneup for the Olympics

with two-game series against Brazil, June 4 in Toronto and June 7 in Ottawa.

Changes are coming

The Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program in conjunction with the BC Wildfire Service, conducted a prescribed burn on Rabbit Mountain Pasture located south of the town of Elko, BC and east of the Hwy 93 on Friday, April 8.

Prescribed burn takes place on Rabbit Mountain The Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program in conjunction with the BC Wildfire Service, conducted a prescribed burn on Rabbit Mountain Pasture located south of the town of Elko, BC and east of the Hwy 93 on Friday, April 8.

Prescribed burns are taking placed in the East Kootenay for ecosystem restoration purposes, between April 1 and April 30, 2016, weather and burning conditions permitting.

The burn area proposed is for a total of 340 hectares to be burnt in phases over the next 1-2 years, weather and burning conditions permitting.

On Rabbit Mountain 80 hectares were burnt in two units near Highway 93. Coverage was about 80 per cent. The smoke column was not high (a very narrow block for getting convection) but it dipped down beyond Elko, curled up Highway 3 to around the tunnel but disappeared up the Elk Valley from there.

Historically, the forests in the Rocky Mountain Trench were renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrubby understory and created

a relatively open forest with large, healthy trees. The exclusion of fire from the landscape over recent decades has increased the fuels that contribute to the risk of more intense and damaging fires; and reduced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Trench.

Combined with other factors, the resulting forest ingrowth has caused an overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and other forest values.

The reintroduction of low-intensity ground fires to these forests is intended to maintain and restore what ecologists describe as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fire maintained, Douglas fir, fescue grass community,â&#x20AC;? which is natural for these sites.

These fires are part of an ongoing restoration program administered by the provincial government in partnership with many non-government organizations. For more information, visit www.trench-er.com.

The public is invited to contact the Ecosystem Restoration Program as noted below to discuss the use of fire as a management tool and other aspects of the ecosystem restoration program.

Overdose East Kootenay crisis line reversal drug provides immediate help now available in B.C. without a prescription Lo r n e E c k e rs l e y Creston Valley Advance

Breanne Massey Columbia Valley Pioneer

The goal of reducing the fatal effects of an opioid overdose among the B.C. drug-using community has recently gained momentum.

Health Canada revised the Federal Prescription Drug List on March 22 to make a non-prescription version of naloxone, which is the life-saving antidote commonly being used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, more accessible to Canadians to improve the province’s efforts to address the growing number of opioid overdoses.

“It was important to make this life-saving drug more widely available in British Columbia,” said Blake Reynolds, College of Pharmacists of BC chair, in a recent press release. “The College worked closely with government and other stakeholders to bring non-prescription naloxone to B.C. quickly. Now, community pharmacies across B.C. will be able to provide naloxone to anyone seeking it.”

The College of Pharmacists of BC amended B.C.’s Drug Schedules Regulation to classify non-prescription naloxone as a Schedule II drug to make non-prescription naloxone available, making B.C. one of the first provinces in Canada to make non-prescription naloxone available thanks to collaborative work from Health Canada, the Ministry of Health, BC Centre for Disease Control and patient advocacy groups including the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and the BC Association of Persons on Methadone.

“We are very pleased that naloxone will be available through community pharmacies without a prescription,”

said Jessica Bridgeman, Harm Reduction Co-ordinator with Interior Health.

“The new regulations mean that anyone, including friends and family members of opioid users, can get trained, purchase naloxone and be able to respond to an opioid overdose. The more people who have access to naloxone the more lives can be saved.”

The East Kootenay Addictions Services Society (EKASS) executive director based in Cranbrook, Dean Nicholson, believes the projected changes are a positive first step toward improving safety for people suffering opioid overdoses.

“I think it’s great,” explained Mr. Nicholson.

“It’s making the medication more accessible to the people without a prescription and given the potential it has to save lives — I think the fewer barriers the better.

We’re waiting to hear what that means in terms of training to use the medication.”

He is optimistic to see the Centre for Disease Control will be releasing further information about the education that is becoming available this spring.

“Moving it from being a prescription medication to something that people can get through the pharmacy is the right move towards making it more accessible to people,” said Mr. Nicholson.

The pharmacy announcement is separate from the Take Home Naloxone program being administered regionally through Interior Health B.C.’s Take Home Naloxone program has trained over 6,500 people to recognize and respond to overdoses using naloxone — 488 overdoses have been reversed since the program’s inception.

“There are local services available to people in crisis, but we need to get the word out about how to find them,” said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond.

Hammond’s concern stemmed from a police file in which a local person didn’t know where to turn for help.

“Help is only a phone call away, where Crisis Line volunteers can help a caller get access to the resources and support they need,” he said.

The East Kootenay Crisis Line, managed by the Canadian Mental Health Association for the Kootenays, provides a crisis safety net for East Kootenay residents. A call to 1-888353-CARE (2273) connects callers to volunteers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Volunteers are trained to deal with a variety of mental health issues, including suicide, stressors in relationships, and domestic violence.

“Crisis Line volunteers are available to listen, help problem solve, and have access to information on a number of mental health resources,” ac-

cording to the organization’s website (www.kootenays. cmha.bc.ca). “Referrals and protocols are in place for emergencies to ensure quality assistance to callers.”

Established by community-minded people in the 1970s, the Crisis Line has evolved into a service with a comprehensive training program and community safeguards in place, and is now considered an essential service in the region.

“We are striving to be an integral part of the East Kootenays by offering a 24 hour support system and safety net to those in crisis. We’ve also been part of a consultation team for clients with chronic mental illness, to ensure a strong support system is in place when things are not going well.”

Creston RCMP, Hammond said, get frequent calls relating to suicidal behavior, from friends and family requesting well-being checks to emergency calls for medical treatment.

It is helpful, he said, to understand more about the problem.

The Crisis Line website provides the following information:

WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE Because of shame, stigma, and the societal assumption that suicide is something that happens to “them” as opposed to “us” we often miss its warning signs which spell out the acronym IS PATH WARM. Ideation – Talking or thinking about suicide.

Substance Abuse – Misusing substances can be a serious red flag that something is wrong. 50 per cent of all suicide deaths in Canada have an alcohol component.

Purposelessness – Someone who has lost a sense of purpose in life. In this economy, this is especially relevant since unemployment rates continue to increase.

Anxiety – Worrying about things we have no control over such as job losses and finances.

Trapped – Feelings of being stuck in a hopeless situation that there is no way out of.

Hopelessness – Feeling like nothing will ever get better.

Withdrawal – Pulling away from family, friends, or activities when they are needed the

most.

Anger – Feelings of constant rage and anger.

Recklessness – Taking dangerous risks with health or safety.

Mood Changes – Marked changes in mood.

If you or anyone you know displays one or more of these warning signs for suicide, please call the crisis line and talk with one of our empathetic and skilled crisis line workers for support and information. They can help assess the situation, work jointly to create a safe plan, and help connect you or the person you’re concerned about to appropriate community health resources.

How do people access support?

Call the Crisis Line at 1-888353 CARE (2273); or Call 1-800-SUICIDE a 24/7 provincial network providing every person in B.C. with access to critical suicide intervention and prevention. This service is provided by members of the Crisis Line Association of B.C. and was the first of its kind in Canada.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could feel off at first today, but after all, it is Monday. Make calls, reach out to another person, and indulge in one seemingly impulsive act you have been considering. You find that you naturally gravitate to doing what you want, as it seems to work well for you.

Tonight: Visiting with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be at the end of the line and wondering what would be best to do. A close associate or partner points to a new direction and choice. You could feel let down by this person, as you feel he or she doesn’t get where you are coming from. Tonight: Be open to fast changes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A personal situation could be even more irritated by the other party, who in some sense seems relentless. Don’t allow this situation to drag you down. You cannot change this person; he or she needs to make a decision. A friend could be surprised. Tonight: As you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will choose to say very little and listen a lot. You might feel tired or out of sorts. Is it time for a checkup? The unexpected occurs when you least anticipate it. Rather than get upset, enjoy the humor and spontaneity of the moment.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to get past an immediate hassle involving what you feel is a wonderfully creative idea.

A child also could be challenging.

You might opt to schedule a vacation after your experience this morning. Your fuse seems to have shortened considerably. Someone around you could surprise you with his or her reaction. Tonight: Read between the lines.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You want to take a stand, but a matter involving your domestic life could be coloring your actions and decisions. You might not be able to change someone’s attitude. The unexpected occurs when dealing with a matter that involves you and another person. Tonight: The center of action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Look beyond the obvious when dealing with another person you really care about. Listen to feedback that comes forward from another party. Still, a loved one or a partner takes off in an unexpected direction or says what is close to impossible. Tonight: Read between the lines.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your intensity could be marked by a quick change of pace. You could be tired of hitting the same log jam. Certainly being reasonable and having endurance has not worked. To many people’s surprise, you could do the irrational. Tonight: Allow someone else to make the first gesture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might go to excess trying to deal with others. You could feel pushed to the extreme as you juggle different concerns. A child or new friend could be creating a lot of uproar. This person enjoys being somewhat impulsive. Stay mellow in your dealings. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be rather tired and drawn. You might not be sure

which way to go with a child or loved one. You see a personal matter very differently from in the recent past. However, you still might feel somewhat down by what you are visualizing. Let go of the emotions. You cannot tell how you will feel until you get to that point. Tonight: Full of fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow your imagination to flow.

Pressure becomes impossible to walk away from. A friend could become very demanding, knowing exactly what he or she wants or desires. You might not be up for pursuing this course. You do what only can be considered as an interesting dodge.

Tonight: Acting as if you do not have a care in the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay close to home. It might be difficult to complete a project. You will want to find a way around that problem. Be careful with your spending, especially when it comes to making a purchase. A boss or someone you feel you need to answer to could be demanding.

Tonight: Allow someone else to make the choice.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My ex-husband, the father of my kids, decided to date my younger sister, who is in the early stages of recovery from heroin addiction. When she wants to see her four children, she has to have a supervisor present for visitation.

My mother and stepfather support this relationship and think it will be good for her. My older sister and I do not approve.

Because of this, my mother decided to disown me and my sister. We have not spoken for six months.

What I don’t understand is that my mother mentioned this whole dating thing about four years ago. She asked whether I would be OK with them seeing each other and I strongly replied that I would NOT, and that it was unethical for the two of them to even think about it.

Now it’s happening.

How do I carry on with no contact with my family due to this? I have been married to my second husband for 11 years. I have no feelings for my ex. My kids seem to be OK with everything, but I just can’t do it.

It makes everything uncomfortable. Now my older sister and I are cut off from the rest of the family.

What can I do? -- Disturbed Middle Sister Dear Sister: Obviously, this attraction has been going on for at least four years (and probably longer). We agree that dating the sibling (or best friend) of an ex can be problematic and we don’t recommend it. But you don’t get to control who other people date, and that includes both your ex and your sister. Expressing your opinion about it is fine. Creating ultimatums only forces an estrangement.

Your decision now is whether or not to accept your sister’s relationship (you don’t have to approve), in order to remain close to the rest of the family. If the two of them split up, you’ve lost nothing. If they marry, you will be stuck with this, so be sure you make a choice that you can live with.

Dear Annie: I am writing about “Crying Mother,” who views her formerly loving and involved daughter-in-law as “cold and distant” now that the children are older.

You gave her some possible explanations.

I’d like to suggest another.

Parents’ days are filled with meeting the needs of their growing children, in addition to maintaining a home and keeping up with career responsibilities.

This may be the busiest and most stressful time of their lives. They have less time to think about their parents, yet they need their parents’ love and support more than ever.

After our first was born, my father-inlaw would call to say that he would be grilling that weekend and wondered if the baby would like some prime rib. My mother-in-law was happy to bake and decorate cookies with my second-grader for a school activity. I would suggest that “Crying Mother” step into a more supportive role. Does she invite the family over for a meal and fun activity? Does she offer to take the children so the parents can have time alone? Does she inquire about the children’s activities and attend when possible? Grandparents can be very important to families, and such efforts are greatly appreciated. -- Been There on Both Sides Dear Been There: There are always two sides to every story (sometimes three). We hope “Crying Mother” will give your great suggestions a try.
