New CAO adjusts to role at city hall T R E VO R C R AW L E Y

There was a new face in the Chief Administrative Officer’s chair this past Monday evening as David Kim sat through his first city council meeting.

Kim, who replaced the recently retired Wayne Staudt, has had an intense week adjusting to new surroundings and the responsibilities as the city’s top ad-

ministrator.

“I must say that the transition has been very smooth because the people at the City of Cranbrook have been extremely nice to me,” Kim said, following the meeting. “They have been doing all their due diligence teaching me and telling me about what’s going on.

“So I must say it has been really great.”

Kim arrives in Cranbrook via Calgary, where he brings over 20 years of leadership experience in public and private sectors.

His latest gig was vice president of Land Development with R.J. Burnside and Associates, a engineering and environmental consulting company.

Reconnecting with Canada in Cranbrook Ferdy Bell and

“It’s

always great to hear that we have a sold-out show to play to,” says Collective Soul’s friendly and unassuming lead vocalist Ed Roland about his band’s imminent arrival at Western Financial Center in Cranbrook on Tuesday, April 19.

“We rarely get a chance to play smaller cities, especially in Canada, and this will be as much a thrill for us as we hope it is for the people of the Kootenays. It’s been seven years since we did any real heavy touring up here, and we wanted to reconnect with everyone and hit as many places as possible.”

Collective Soul are one of the most successful American alternative-rock bands to have emerged from the heady days of Grunge. Originally formed in 1992 in Stockbridge, Georgia (the band’s name comes from a quote from Ayn Rand’s classic 1943 novel “The Fountainhead”), the group has sold over 18 million albums worldwide and have ranked no less than seven Number One hit singles on the international pop charts. Helmed by Ed Roland (the band’s main songwriter) and his brother Dean Roland on rhythm guitar, Collective Soul’s current lineup is rounded out with bassist Will Turpin, drummer Johnny Rabb, and lead guitarist Jesse Triplett. The band released its ninth studio album “See What You Started by Continuing” in October 2015, which

Collective Soul will rock the Kootenays with April 19 concert at Western Financial Place

has garnered much critical and commercial success, and the band shows no signs of slowing down its breakneck pace, let alone shuddering to any sort of halt.

“It’s nice to know that after almost 25 years of this, people still care!” says Roland. “It’s great that people still like the old stuff...that’s how we were found, after all, with songs like ‘Shine’ and ‘Gel’...but I believe we’ve gotten better as a band, as songwriters, as the years have passed. I know we have. And I’m glad that our fans keep traveling along with us. We’re very grateful.”

Even with Collective Soul’s latest album barely six months into its public release, the ever-inspired Ed Roland admits that his creative spark never loses fire; he’s already writing (and performing) songs which will appear on the band’s NEXT album (tentatively scheduled for a 2017 release).

“We’re trying out new songs on the current run of this tour,” Roland says. “Of course we’ll play songs off the latest record, but there’ll also be unrecorded and unreleased songs debuting live for the first time, as well. The best pre-production process you can have is front of a live audience who has no preconceptions of the tune...as we’ve found out! We’ve always done that, though. Of course we’re going to play all the classics that people always want to hear, but we’re certainly

Collective Soul frontman Ed Roland not just some oldies act.

We respect our audience enough to share our craft and our new material with them, in the beginning stages of the song’s development.”

Roland describes his songwriting process.

“We’ve basically been living out of the back of a bus for the past seven years, so that’s where the acoustic guitar comes in handy. We’ll find time in and around soundchecks, or kicking around in a hotel room, to flesh out ideas, and if we’re in mid-tour and we all feel confident enough to try out the new song at that night’s concert, then we’re all game and good to go!

We had a month off over the past Christmas holidays, and most of the stuff that’ll be considered for the next album

was all sculpted up then. Dropped into a studio to record demos, and then back on the road!”

In and around his all-consuming schedule with Collective Soul, Ed

Roland takes the time out to indulge in his other band, Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project. A more acoustic-oriented roots-folk outfit (which released its amazing debut

album “Devils ‘N Darlins” in 2013), the Atlanta-based Sweet Tea Project allows Roland an enjoyable opportunity to delve into a second world of music that might not, er...gel with Collective Soul’s established electric-guitar overdrive.

“I really love playing with those guys,” says Roland fondly of his other bandmates in the Sweet Tea Project, “but Collective Soul is the Mothership, everybody agrees to that and gets it, but we’re hoping that towards the end of the year we can release the second album we’ve already got recorded and in the can.”

Collective Soul’s current tour takes them across Canada, after which they will undertake a summer tour of the US with the Goo Goo Dolls. “That’ll be fun,” Roland remarks.

“Our two bands grew up together in the biz, so to

Brent Tyler

speak, and we seem to share the same fans!”

Ed Roland finishes off by speaking directly to the excitable East Kootenay rockers who are eager to zoom into Western Financial Place on the evening of Tuesday April 19th: “We’re Collective Soul, and we’re not going anywhere. We don’t care what size the room is that we play in. We want to do what’s best for the people. We’re comfortable if they’re comfortable. In the end, we want our audience to enjoy themselves. And what better way to reconnect with a Canadian audience than in a cozy hockey arena in the shadow of the Rockies?

Come on out and let’s have fun!”

Collective Soul hits the stage at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook BC the evening of Tuesday April 19th.

There might be seven or eight tickets left, so hurry.

Canadians attacking at Vimy Ridge, April 9, 1917

Cranbrook men killed at Vimy Ridge, 99 years ago B a r ry Co u lt e r

C

ranbrook was hit hard 99 years ago, with the news of the death of two of its young men at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Harry Banfield and John Macdonald were both killed in action April 9, 1917, the first day of a four-day campaign to take a long, sloping escarpment — key strategic high ground held by the Germans.

It was fought primarily as part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. It involved all four divisions of Canadian soldiers were involved, making it the first time Canadians fought as a nation. Thus, not only was it a turning point in the First World War, it proved to be a watershed moment for Canada as a country.

Back in Cranbrook, in April, 1917, the Herald reported the deaths of Lieut. Harry Banfield and Private John Macdonald. Banfield was

killed in action serving with the 54th of the 11th Canadian Brigade, Macdonald with the 29th Battalion of the 6th Canadian Brigade.

Banfield, who’d moved to Cranbrook from Somerset, England, worked as a carpenter and building contractor, and served as a city Alderman and member of the Masonic Lodge. Macdonald was a machinist apprentice with the CPR in Cranbrook.

The Herald reported the Banfield was a close friend of Bert Black — also with the 54th — who died of wounds received at Vimy Ridge.

A letter by Capt. J.J,.

Martin reprinted by the Herald described the action in which Black and Banfield were killed: “They were both assigned important objectives in the operation. Banfield had the further advanced post and Black was next to him. They both reached their objectives, but when Banfield reached

Bringing back the wounded from battle

his out posts he found that his party was being [enfiladed] with machine gun fire from both flanks. He retired his party slightly and

was hit while covering the move of his men.

He managed to get back to the main position. Ashcroft … a lad from Vernon, started to

dress his wounds but found he was too far gone. Ashcroft then got a Lewis gun and started operating it himself, but was soon sniped.

Meantime, Black, who was wounded three times, was taken in. He was absolutely fearless and fought like a lion.”

No details were

available of Macdonald’s death on April 9, 1917, but the Cranbrook Herald extended its sympathy to his bereaved parents.

New City CAO settles into new posting Continued from page 1 Kim’s past experience also includes working as an engineer with the City of Calgary’s transportation department and serving as manager of urban development with the same municipality.

“Calgary is a big city, it’s 1.3 million [people] and I was right in the middle of it doing all the approvals and management, dealing with the industry, so you think

the challenges there are quite different,” Kim said.

“But I think the challenges here are similar in nature, it’s just a little different scale. You deal with organizations, you deal with processes, you deal with people as well as the industry and various stakeholders.”

He made his first public change on Monday, by requiring all department leaders to attend the regular

city council meeting.

“Thats the kind of thing that I do and I’ve initiated it.

I’ve realized that it was done that way a few years ago, so to the city, it’s not really new, but that’s a new thing that I just initiated with the existing staff,” he said.

“The reason I do that is my belief in departmental collaboration because the nature that we deal with is very multi-disciplinary so I thought I’d bring all the staff

that are relevant and put our heads together and see if we can come up with better ideas.”

Economic development—a key priority for Mayor Lee Pratt and his city councillors, is also one of the initiatives that Kim hopes to explore as he gets more familiar with the city staff and the local industries.

“One of the things I’m well aware of is the eco-

nomic development perspective here, so that’s something I’d like to take on in working with the council and mayor here,” Kim said.

“I’m glad we have the economic development department within the city and I’m expecting that we’ll really closely work together to bring more people, bring more growth, more development, more jobs, more vibrancy to this community.”

Cranbrook is not unfamiliar to Kim as he has been in the city many times in the past to visit friends and vacation in the backcountry with his wife and three children.

When he is not at work, Kim can be found out in the wilderness hiking, riding his motorcycles and enjoying his hotrod—what he calls a low-budget garage car with a Cadillac 500 engine.

Local NEWS

City of Cranbrook

Public can help City put kibosh on deer feeding Fo r t he Towns man

Residents are being asked to step up and help the City of Cranbrook ensure the deliberate feeding of deer inside the municipality does not happen.

“Deliberate feeding of the deer is just one piece of the puzzle around urban deer and part of the reason we have the deer issues we do,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook.

“This is the easiest thing we, as a community can do to try to minimize these problems – by simply not feeding them.”

The bylaw states no one is to provide deer with food by intentionally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edible material for the sole purpose of feeding deer. For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other compostable food scraps on any property where these items are not consistently being grown or produced for human consumption would be a violation of the Bylaw.

Home fruit and vegetable gardens intended for human consumption or ornamental plants and flowers will not be included as

material intended for the sole purpose of feeding deer under the deer feeding bylaw.

“Like so many of our bylaws, enforcement is done on a complaint driven basis,” says Zettel. “We don’t have the ability to patrol the City looking for infractions around the deer feeding bylaw.

We need residents to let us know if deliberate feeding of deer is happening and where.

“You will have to provide our staff your name and phone number, so our bylaw officers can contact you should more information be needed.”

Anyone found violating the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw will be committing an offense and can be fined on an escalating fine schedule; $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second, $500 for the third. Each day a violation occurs constitutes a new and separate offence.

For more information or to report a location where deliberate deer feeding is happening, please call Bylaw Services @ 250489-9598. The City cannot act on anonymous complaints as evidence is required if the offender is to be fined.

RCMP warn of tax time scam For the Townsman

RCMP are wanting to inform the public of an ongoing scam with regard to Canada Revenue Agency. If you haven’t heard about the telephone scam, the caller claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This scam is becoming a growing concern for the RCMP in British Columbia as we are receiving numerous complaints daily and the numbers keep growing.

Knowing exactly what to do should it happen to you is very important to prevent identity and financial theft.

People receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card (the CRA never requests prepaid credit cards) and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

This scam has been successful because the caller is very aggressive, and if hung up on, will

Sandy’s legendary snores

our of us codgers were sitting there in the sunshine on top of Windy Bluff and we were boasting, as men often do. Now, unlike golfers, fishermen and young studs, we had nothing to boast about so we started trying to outdo each other with tales about our mutual friend Sandy.

Sandy snores. Lots of people snore; even I may do, but that is not likely.

However, when Sandy snores I am positive that more geological damage is done than when folk organize fracking.

Anyway, back to the awful reality. Not one of us has ever worked out how Sandy’s wife ever put up with the nightly cacophony. We just assume that she sleeps in another (far distant) part of their large house and then adopts very large ear-plugs. Their various dogs, for survival’s sake, must have become inured to the racket or slept with their paws over their ears.

We always did.

Zach recounted how a gang of the guys once ventured up into the serene centre of St. Mary’s Park in the Purcells for a pleasant long weekend. This was some years back when they were probably too young or too daft to understand the danger they might be in. After the first night of Sandy’s intolerable din, they camped in a little rock-bound space by a lake and sent Sandy

off to sleep in solitary splendour on a tiny island. According to Zach, the results of this drastic action were earth tremors, seismic waves and even tsunamis. One of the smaller dogs, a German shepherd, was sucked back into the lake and had to be rescued.

Albie said that he had once dared to mention the problem of sleep apnea to Sandy but he’d brushed off the whole idea. The snorer, Peter of course, had never had to Warland listen to the ruckus but, on the good side, he probably kept the more ferocious bears away from the camps.

For example, Albie mentioned the summer weekend that some of us made the mistake of planning a week-end trip up to Dibble Glacier behind the Steeples. Sandy got to hear of the idea and, naturally, invited himself along.

Albie said, ”We spread out the tents in order to nullify the results of Sandy’s nightly snorts, hacks and snores but the glacier still slipped several yards downhill and probably shortened its life by many years.

They surely shortened ours and drove off a large herd of sheep.” He also mentioned that there had been talk of throwing Sandy, sleeping bag and all, into that icy lake at the foot of the glacier, but it was an expensive sleeping bag.

Gerry piped up then. He’d probably not

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

listened to the other stories because he’d been making up his yarn.

He announced grandly, “But the ultimate result of Sandy’s snoring might be seen on the abbreviated Mount Harrison, up in the Bull River country.”

We sat up; he explained further; it had been quite an expedition to Mount Harrison. It was a big peak back then, higher than anything else in these parts so care had to be taken to get things right. Sandy insisted on providing the transportation in his new Landcruiser and suggested two tents, but the other three prospective mountaineers had shuddered at the concept of one of them having to share with the snorer. In the end, they opted to go without tents.

All went well and the party safely attained the high pass at the foot of the final peak and discovered there a sort of roofless hut which three of the party quickly commandeered. Overnight, they lost lots of gear to the voracious critters that lived there whilst Sandy was unmolested.

After breakfast, the party moved up to the ridge that led to the top of the peak but discovered that it was too dangerously crumbly and so backed off to another nearby peak where, as they ate lunch, they were able to see a huge portion of Harrison peel off and crash down below.

No geologist is ever going to prove that Sandy’s snores did that damage, but his three companions are positive.

It happened this week in Cranbrook What’s Up? Week of April 10 - 16

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1905 Yahk CPR Extension … F. M. Young, chief of a C. P. R. surveying corps, was in town this week getting his supplies of Fink Bros, for carrying on the work from Yahk to the boundary. In his party were R. F. Bedford, J. A. McDonald, W. J. Morrison, V. H. Campbell, M. L. Campbell, H. J. DeSaginay, all of Winnipeg. It is expected that the final survey of that section will be completed within a month and then the work of construction will be commenced and pushed forward to completion. Quite a number of people are interested in the survey and several Cranbrook citizens have applied for a hotel license at Yahk.

Will serve time … William Keeling, a gay Lothario of the red-light district, had trouble with an inmate of one of the houses the other night and for ungallantly blacking an eye already black was given two months in the government bastille.

Moyie looks good … Fred Smyth, of Moyie, editor and publisher of the Leader, and booster for the town of Moyie, was in town on Tuesday. Mr. Smyth speaks in a most optimistic manner of the future of Moyie, and expresses the opinion that within two years’ time it will be one of the best towns in the Kootenays.

Try this one … Fred Smyth, of the Moyie Leader, has sprung the following: “Here is the latest How-Old-is-Ann problem for idle minds to whet their wits on: A train one mile long starts from the station at Moyie. The engine leaves the station and the conductor waits until the caboose comes, when he jumps on the caboose and walks forward over the train. When the engine reaches Cranbrook, 20 miles from Moyie, the conductor steps off the engine.

How far does the conductor ride and how far does he walk?”

Jim Wardner is dead ... At last the end has come to one of the most unique characters in the western mining world. We knew Mr. Wardner well, and he was a wonderful man. A born leader, a man of unlimited mental resources, quick to see the point of advantage, reckless in his expenditures, never satisfied with inactivity. He was one who made his thousands and spent his tens of thousands. When he had a dollar in his pocket no man in distress ever appealed to him vain. Poor Jim! He had friends by the hundreds, and we don’t believe he had one bitter enemy. He is dead. No man knows his future. But if there is any reward in the future for a good heart, good intentions, good acts and a charitable soul, Jim Wardner will reap that reward.

Anyone for mayor? … We sent out a number of postal cards last week asking different citizens what they would do if they were mayor of Cranbrook. No answers have been received so it is evident candidates for mayor would be scarce in case the town was incorporated.

1906 Moyie vs Cranbrook … Basketball enthusiasts were treated to a fine exhibition of the game on Wednesday of this week when a picked team from Moyie came down to try conclusions with a picked five from the Gymnasium. The game started shortly after nine o’clock with J. P. Westman in control as referee. The commencement was exciting. Seldom is it the privilege of an audience to witness a faster

Jim Wardner — one of the most unique characters in the western mining world. game. The pace was too fast to continue, but the game never lagged. The excitement ran high at times and at half time the score stood 2-2. The second half was keenly contested. Many fine plays were made on both sides and called forth loud applause from the gallery. At the end the score stood 7-6 in favor of Cranbrook.

Fernie vs Cranbrook … The first football game of the season was played on the recreation grounds yesterday afternoon.

The day was all that could be desired and a large number were in attendance. The game was clean from beginning to end and was not what could be called exciting but at times some fine plays were made, Cranbrook half backs were very strong and showed up well. Fernie’s goal keeper was always in place and although the ball came into his region many times yet he was too wide awake to allow the second scoring of a goal. At the close the score stood 3 to 1 in favor of Fernie. A return game will be played in the near future.

Delaney recaptured … William Delaney, who was sent up from Cranbrook for attempting to burglarize W. H. Wilson’s store, and sentenced to imprisonment in the Nelson jail, escaped from there two weeks ago, was recaptured at Creston last Sunday. William Delaney, alias R. J. Johansen, is once more an inmate of the provincial jail at Nelson. He returned by the Crows Nest train last night in charge of Provincial Constable Young, who received him at Kootenay Landing yesterday from Provincial Constable Wilson, of Creston, who arrested him near there Sunday afternoon about six o ’clock. Johansen escaped from the jail about three o’clock Sunday afternoon, March 25 th, and enjoyed, or rather suffered, exactly a fortnight of uneasy and uncomfortable liberty. The first four days, according to his own story, were spent in Nelson in hiding in a Chinese shack below the railway track, near the mouth of Cottonwood creek. After having dug up clothes, blankets, and a gun, which had been “planted” for him in advance by faithful confederates, he travelled on foot to Proctor. As he did not care to risk conversation with any one he kept away from all dwellings and lived by killing chickens, which he cooked himself. After reaching the shore of the main Kootenay lake, he still avoided regular means of travel. He built a raft and, using one of his blankets for a sail, crossed the lake on that frail craft, landing near the mouth of La France creek. Again he had to tramp through woods and over hills, trusting to his gun

for food. Having reached Creston he thought he was out of danger and entered town. There he was apprehended by Constable Wilson who had been informed that he was near there by Warden Lemon. The warden declines to reveal the sources of his information.

Hotel on the move … J. F. Armstrong, gold commissioner, returned last evening from Golden, where he has been spending his vacation. He is looking much better after his rest, and says that Mrs. Armstrong will remain another month in Golden.

While in Donald he saw Mr. Forrest, who started the big hotel on Baker Street. Mr. Forrest has taken all the finishing lumber off his hotel at Donald, with the windows, etc., and will ship the entire outfit to Cranbrook to complete his building here.

Good choice … The variety of goods carried by Cranbrook merchants is one feature of this town that is surprising to every stranger who comes here. But that is one of the things that has helped to make Cranbrook. The town has been fortunate in having an enterprising class of merchants who were ever anxious to meet every demand of their patrons.

Challenge … Why should any individual interested in the town sit down and let other men no more interested do all the work to push ahead the town? If any man can answer that question satisfactorily we will give him a receipt for two years subscription to the Herald. But come to think of it, a man dead enough to answer that question would not read a live paper like the Herald.

Looking good … W. H. Wilson, the jeweler, has sustained his reputation again this season by presenting an Easter window that is the subject of flattering praise on the part of all who have seen it. The back ground is a beautiful piece of grill work through which vines and flowers are entwined, while in the center is an immense artificial Easier lily. Among the jewelry, gold and silverware there can be seen the little chicks and bunnies, combining to form a most attractive and pleasing display for Eastertide.

Arrest them … It is time for the police to give a good lesson to some of the individuals who persist in making a public nuisance of themselves on the street every time they get a few shots of booze under their vests. Now and then there are acts that are a positive disgrace to the town and renders it most embarrassing for a woman to pass by. A few arrests would put the fear of justice in the hearts of the guilty ones and a germ of decency in their befogged brains, and serve as a warning to others so inclined. It is fortunate that there are only a very few of this kind, and it is for the benefit of the community we ask this.

Tie it up ... The Herald would like to see the ordinance in regard to tying horses enforced. Someday there will be a woman with a baby carriage caught and perhaps someone killed, and then when it is too late, the people will wake up to the danger that they are running. And in this connection it might be a good thing to stop the reckless riding of horses through the main streets. If it is not stopped someone will be injured in that way.

Getting better … George Hillier is able to walk about and was greeted with pleasure by a host of his friends who were glad to see him on the high road to recovery.

Mr. Hillier lost thirty two pounds while he was sick, but is getting back flesh at the rate of one pound a day.

Kimberley Dynamiters begin search for new head coach, general manager Taylo r R o cc a Sports Editor

T

he search has begun for a new head coach and general manager for the Kimberley Dynamiters.

After former head coach Jerry Bancks announced his retirement and former general manager Mike Reid announced he was stepping down last Wednesday, the KIJHL club’s executive wasted no time in preparing a call for resumes as it seeks to fill the big shoes left behind.

The position, which the team is looking to fill as a combined fulltime and paid head coach/general manager role, was opened to submissions Monday afternoon and is set to close Friday, April 22.

The hope is to have a new bench boss in place by May 1, prior to the team’s spring camp, which is slated for May 13 to 15 in Penticton.

“I would really like to see this league get rid of some of the things that exist in it,” Bancks said, reflecting upon the impact he hoped his clubs had on the KIJHL and its unwritten future. “It’s sometimes thought of as a greasy league and it’s not as developmental as it should be. There are

Former Ice player nabs ECHL honour Tre vor Cr awley

The ECHL on Monday announced that South Carolina Stingrays’ defenseman Joey Leach is the recipient of the AMI Graphics Plus Performer of the Year award after finishing the season with a plus-minus rating of +40.

Leach, who finished fifth in the ECHL last season at +37, posted an even or better or rating in 50 of his 58 games this season. He was the ECHL Plus Performer of the Month for March after posting a league-best +13 during the month, and he went +22 over the final 20 games of the season.

A native of Wadena, Saskatchewan, Leach has tallied 44 points (8g-36a) in

169 career ECHL games with South Carolina, Fort Wayne and Bakersfield.

Leach has also appeared in 23 career AHL games with Oklahoma City, Lake Erie and Hershey, recording four assists.

Leach, a former captain of the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, had a four year WHL career with the team and was part of the 2011 championship squad that captured the Ed Chynoweth Cup. Leach, a third-round pick of the Calgary Flames in the 2010 NHL Draft, tallied 27 goals and 107 assists over his major-junior career, all of which was with the Ice in Cranbrook.

playing hockey in what I would consider the right way… You play with respect. I hope that the league learns to play the game the right way.”

Under the guidance of Bancks, the Dynamiters vaulted back to the top of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League heap, claiming the 2015 KIJHL championship before finishing as runner-up at the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup for B.C. Junior B supremacy. In 2016, the Nitros then went on to claim the league’s regular season crown with a record of 41-7-0-4 before falling in the league’s playoff finale to the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

“If you talk to general managers around the league, the template they want to use is Jerry’s,” Reid said after announcing his decision to move on. “[Jerry] will deflect a lot of credit to everybody around him,

but this isn’t anything without him and what he stands for.

“It speaks for itself with the guys moving on and the character, quality kids we have in this organization. That’s how you win. That’s how you move kids on.

“We’ve taken a league that used to be about a bunch of 19and 20-year-olds having some fun drinking and partying, and we’ve made the league about fitness, character, skill, speed and we’re obviously going to move on, probably a dozen kids in two years and almost win two championships.

“It’s so important to me that people realize the work that was done here by Jerry.”

Outside of replacing the immense shoes vacated by Bancks, the club is also looking to fill the position of assistant coach Jeff Keiver and president Chad Koran. Both stepped

away from the club, leaving massive voids across the board and in all areas of operations.

“In year one, we might have lost some games we shouldn’t have lost because we played with a developmental-type strategy,” Reid said, reflecting on the approach of Bancks and his hockey operations crew. “But it paid off the last couple years.

“As a league, it’s so important to have the right coaches in place and have a fundamental commitment to development. Winning will be a by-product of that if you do it right.

We’ve proven that here.

“We set out, in no uncertain terms, to win the league a few years ago. We wanted to create a good environment for the kids to play in and be successful, create some memories. We created something special out of that.”

All of the characteristics found in what Reid describes can be found on the list of requirements the Dynamiters executive has laid out regarding what they are looking for from the successor to Bancks and Reid.

While there is certainly no replacing Jerry Bancks, the club has set out to find the next best candidate as it ushers in a new era of Kimberley Dynamiters hockey ahead of the 2016-17 KIJHL season.

Bancks and his supporting staff played a vital role in establishing a new culture for success and how it is achieved in the KIJHL. There’s no doubt that the expectation for a new bench boss, from both the Dynamiters executive and fans in Kimberley, will be to go about seeking success in similar fashion.

No pressure.

Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the Kimberley Dynamiters website and follow the appropriate links before submitting a cover letter and resume to vice-president James Leroux.

NEWS

It happened this week in Cranbrook Continued from page 7

Place a bet … The Eagles will hold a social session at their ball this evening. One of the attractions will be a championship game of checkers between Frank Dickenson and Tom Cole. There is a great deal of interest manifested in the outcome of the games and several wagers have been made.

Took own life … Corporal S. J. Kimbry, officer in charge of the Mounted Police detachment in the Pass, committed suicide at an early hour this morning by shooting himself in the mouth. Corporal Kimbry’s fellow members of the force decline to give out any information as to the motive for the deed, but it is quite generally understood about town that Corporal Kimbry was infatuated with a woman of the restricted district who had recently thrown him off and that he was very despondent.

Moyie mine … Everything at the St. Eugene mine is running as smoothly as clockwork and at the concentrator it is a steady grind. For the month of March the output was 2,712 tons, most of which went to Trail and the rest to Nelson. Development work in the mine is going steadily ahead. The Lake Shore shaft is now down 300 feet. This is known as the 2,000 foot level of the mine. A station has been cut and a drift run for a distance of 80 feet which will be pushed forward with all possible speed. On next Tuesday $31,000 will be paid out in wages by the company.

Another Cranbrook paper … Our friends Messrs.

Beattie & Atchison have entered the field against the Old Man and the Herald. We did not expect it from these gentlemen, as they have been good patrons of the Herald and strong supporters of the paper. But many men have an uncontrollable desire to publish a newspaper and these gentlemen fell a victim to that ambition. The Cranbrook Courier is the name of the new sheet and it is filled with a lot of interesting matter, but its advertising columns seem to have been captured by a firm named Chamberlain and Messrs. Beattie and Atchison. Long life to the paper and may the publishers have no trouble in editing the overdraft column. *%$#@! … Maurice Quain, the electrician in charge of the electric light and telephone plant, and there are few any better, was on the rampage last Sunday. Complaints kept coming into the head office from telephone subscribers until he learned that seven of them were put out of business. But how, was the question. The usual tests were made and Maurice soon discovered that seven wires were grounded, and with a telephone, connection that means that business ceases. Then followed the investigation. There is a cable running under the street from the pole on the corner to the office building, passing through the cellar, fastened to the rafters over the furnace. The other day while tacking up some asbestos paper on the rafters for protection against fire Maurice accidentally put a tack in this cable and it reached seven wires. That settled it, for this gave the deadly ground connection. For hours Maurice worked, and cu— — or rather smiled, and finally when following up the cable he found the tack. The other boys in the office say that when Maurice pulled out the tack; he held it up to the light and talked in English, French habitat, Siwash, Chinook and Dago, all at the same time.

Volunteers with the Nature Conservancy of Canada are pictured hard at work slashing and cutting the unwanted growth by the shores of Columbia Lake.

Volunteers slashing and pruning for conservation Lesley Marian Neilson

On March 20, a group of volunteers gathered on the east side of Columbia Lake to clear out an area where small conifer trees were starting to encroach onto formerly open grassland habitat. Seventeen members of the Lake Windermere Rod & Gun Club and the Canal Flats Wilderness Club joined Nature Conservancy of Canada’s stewardship staff on the group’s Columbia Lake – Lot 48 conservation area for a day of slashing small conifers and pruning the lower limbs of larger established trees.

“This work benefits the native bunchgrass communities and improve the winter range for elk, deer, and sheep, including other grassland-dependent species,” says Rich-

ard Klafki, stewardship coordinator for the Nature Conservancy of Canada in the Kootenays. “The pruning allows the animals – particularly bighorn sheep – to feel more comfortable as they move down into the opened up areas because they can see and avoid predators more easily.”

In the past, wildfires kept forests from overtaking the low elevation grasslands of the Rocky Mountain Trench.

Additionally, First Nations people used fire to maintain grasslands and dry open forests thereby improving browse for ungulates, preventing shrub ingrowth, and encouraging other resource uses.

Over the past century, with the increase of permanent

human settlement in the valley, wildfires have been suppressed in order to protect our communities. This has allowed a dense forest to creep ever onward into the grasslands. Plants and animals that had evolved to live in open areas are losing the habitat they need to survive.

“The Nature Conservancy of Canada’s mission is to protect ecologically important lands and habitats that support rare and at risk species.

Sometimes we do this by restoring land that has been damaged or altered. Restoration and land stewardship is an important part of how we achieve our conservation goals,” says Klafki.

Volunteers like the club members who helped out on

Columbia Lake – Lot 48 contribute valuable person-power to the enormous task of tending over 2,700-hectares of conservation lands that the Nature Conservancy of Canada owns and manages in the Rocky Mountain Trench.

“The people that come out and help us clear forest ingrowth, or treat invasive plants, or clean up garbage are making a real and direct contribution to conservation in their community,” says Klafki. “And they have a great time doing it too.”

Kelowna woman trying to believe she really won $50 million C anadian Press

VANCOUVER - A British Columbia grandmother who won the Lotto Max grand prize initially thought she’d won $50,000.

June Bergh asked her husband to double-check her ticket and says he instantly became dazed when he realized the ticket they were holding was actu-

ally worth $50 million.

The Kelowna woman says she still didn’t believe she had the winning ticket until a Lotto employee congratulated her for the

Bergh says she’s looking forward to sharing her winnings with her children and grandchildren, saying it gives her great pleasure to help others.

She’s also planning a cruise with her husband of 54 years.

Virtual walk lets residents make memories matter

G o r d o n Wo o dwa r d

As many Cranbrook families know, dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed.

Caregivers, family members and friends are also impacted, and caregiving is often required 24 hours each day, 365 days each year. It’s a hugely challenging responsibility — and one that requires a variety of support.

So it’s fitting that Cranbrook caregivers are among the honorees for the Inves-

tors Group Virtual Walk for Alzheimer’s. The innovative fundraising event for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. allows residents to get involved online.

All they have to do is visit www.walkforalzheimers.ca and sign up for a Virtual Walk. Residents can then take a stroll with family and friends on Sunday, May 1 and collect pledges, or make a donation to the campaign.

The Virtual Walk is province-wide, and uses the

theme “Make memories matter.”

“Memories make us who we are,” says the Society’s Special Events Officer, Daphne Tsai. “When you walk, you honor those who have passed and support our work to help provide help and hope for those living with the disease today.

“Everyone will be touched by dementia, whether it’s a relative, a friend or someone in your community. You can make a

difference.”

Caregiving affects people emotionally and physically.

It requires determination, empathy and kindness. And caregivers require support for everything from assisting with legal and financial decisions to helping with everyday tasks. The journey of dementia can’t be made alone.

That’s why individuals and teams from Cranbrook are invited to join the Virtual Walk. Funds raised sup-

port programs and services in the community that: • improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and for their families • support other activities like education and public awareness Walk for Alzheimer’s is Canada’s biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Already approximately 747,000 Canadians have the disease, with 70,000 of them living in

British Columbia. That number will nearly double in the next 20 years, as age is the biggest risk factor and people are living longer.

Residents who are interested in starting a Walk in the community next year can contact Daphne Tsai at dtsai@alzheimerbc.org for more information.

For more information on local resources to help families live well with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Japan wooed as B.C. LNG customer To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

After a warning from Japan’s ambassador to Canada that the window is closing for the world’s largest customer of liquefied natural gas, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman has completed a sales trip to Tokyo.

Coleman met with Japanese government officials and major industrial players including Japan Petroleum Exploration Company Ltd. (JAPEX), a partner in the Pacific Northwest LNG project proposed for Prince Rupert.

Another stop was at Mitsubishi Corp., a partner in the LNG Canada project with Shell, PetroChina and

Korea Gas with an export terminal proposed near Kitimat. Mitsubishi has also invested $2.9 billion in gas development in the Montney shale formation near Dawson Creek.

Japan’s official warning came after federal Environment Minister Catharine McKenna delayed by another three months a decision on its environmental permit for Pacific Northwest LNG’s terminal at Lelu Island. The permit is one of the last conditions specified by Malaysian state company Petronas and its partners, but the process has dragged on twice as long as the original one-year estimate.

“The global LNG market has changed drastically from a seller’s market to a buyers’, and competition among LNG suppliers is increasing,” Japanese Ambassador Kenjiro Monji said in a letter to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

“As LNG exports are usually based on longterm contracts, should Canada miss a window in demand for LNG, the next opportunity may be 10 or 20 years in the future.”

B.C. has 20 LNG export proposals, but slow approvals and protests have delayed the B.C. industry as the U.S. and other countries have moved ahead.

B.C. government photo

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman meets with Japan Petroleum Exploration Company president Osamu Watanabe in Tokyo last week.

One vote of confidence came in late March, when Exxon

Mobil applied to extend its LNG export licence from 25 to 40 years.

Exxon Mobil and its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil have pro-

posed an export facility based either at Kitimat or Prince Rupert.

RCMP Funeral

B.C. Mountie loved life, prized her family and community service C anadian Press

COLWOOD, B.C. - An RCMP officer who died on duty last week was remembered Tuesday as a loving wife and mother with a quirky sense of humour and a commitment to service.

Const. Sarah Beckett, 32, died April 5 when her cruiser was broadsided by a pickup truck in the Vancouver Island community of Langford.

The 11-year member of the force left behind a husband and two sons aged five and two.

“Goodbye, Sarah,” said her former colleague Staff Sgt. Phil Lue in an emotional message at the packed Q Centre hockey arena in Colwood. “Your memory will always stay with us and you will be missed.”

Lue said Beckett incited

gales of laughter with her seagull calls, which drew the attention of hoardes of birds and people amazed with her skill.

Her godfather Jack Hayden said Beckett was born in Calgary and aimed to become a paleontologist before deciding to follow in her grandfather’s steps and become an RCMP officer.

“She lived for her family,”

Hayden said, adding that besides her love for her two young boys, Beckett prized her life with her husband Brad, who she met and married in Las Vegas.

“You warned me this day may come when we first met each other,” her husband said in a message read by Hayden. “I would still take this journey 1,000 times with you.”

Before the funeral began, the clicking sound of boots marching on wet blacktop punctuated a grey, drizzly afternoon as a procession of law enforcement officers arrived for Beckett’s funeral.

Hundreds of people lined the procession route as a hearse made its way to the service, which was attended by members of the public and about 2,000 law enforce-

ment officers.

A riderless horse signifying a fallen officer was part of the procession as officers marched in the sombre but colourful tribute to one of their own.

Beckett’s coffin, draped with a Canadian flag, was carried into the service by RCMP officers dressed in their traditional red serge uniforms.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might wonder how you got into the middle of a power play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a lot on your mind and want to handle a change quickly.

Your ability to communicate in a creative fashion emerges. You will see that suddenly a situation arises that allows you to see someone in a different light. Walk away from a pushy person. Tonight: You might opt not to be found, as you sense a volatile quality around others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make sure your efforts do not fall to the wayside. You might be coming from a more optimistic view than many people. Someone might rain on your parade, out of the blue. A friend also could come forward with surprising news. Tonight: Respond to an invitation or call.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) As good as you might feel is as demanding as someone around you could be. Initiate conversations with others, if possible. A partner or loved one might be defiant just to be defiant. Honor a fast change of pace. Tonight: Work with the unpredictable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Remain more confident and allow yourself to flex with various situations. You could feel that the less said, the better. Tension mounts, no matter what you decide to do.

Lie back some and be responsive to others’ requests. Surprises head in from those at a distance or those whom you often intellectualize with. Tonight: Go with spontaneity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to find out what would be best to do under the circumstances.

Tonight: Just don’t stress out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Move forward in a manner that makes a difference. Your words might seem far more controlling than intended. Others might back off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A key loved one might want to lay down his or her arms and make peace with you. You have a lot to offer, but you often feel the need to add something new to your wardrobe to make you seem more together. You really don’t need to do that. Tonight: Be a duo.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others clearly make an effort to handle a problem efficiently and directly. You could be past the point of no return, as far as dealing with

what you think is a controlling individual. Stop; hold up a mirror. You often are very controlling. Could this person be reacting to you? Tonight: Listen to what is being said rather than jump into a controversy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can be nurturing to another person and not have that person become too dependent or needy.

How you visualize a personal matter could evolve to a point where your vision might be considerably different from reality. Try to ground yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I just heard about your contest to write a poem for July 4 that is more balanced, and that mentions women, as well as men. Why would you print something like that in August, when school is out and kids can’t participate? It would have been an excellent project for my classroom.

Could you please rerun the original request and extend the deadline? Maybe a few of my middle school kids could write something special that merits being printed in your column. Thanks. -Teacher in Florida Dear Teacher: It didn’t occur to us at the time that the contest request would run during summer break. You are right that it is perfect for the classroom, as well as would-be poets, so we will extend our deadline until June 1. (That’s absolutely the latest, folks.) Here is the original letter: Dear Annie: I appreciate the patriotic intent of your July 4 column, but what would my daughter and seven nieces make of the mention of 27 men but just two women? The author overlooked Sacagawea, Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the myriad other female contributors to our nation’s progress.

Maybe next year you could share someone’s writing that does a better job of recognizing the meaningful roles many courageous and capable women have played and continue to play in shaping our nation. All credit to Ginger Rogers’ high heels, but Sacagawea did everything Lewis and Clark did, but she did it postpartum and carrying a newborn on her back.

If no one has written anything more balanced since Mr. Whitaker’s piece appeared in 1955, consider the gauntlet tossed. -- A Loyal Reader Dear Loyal Reader: We agree that an updated version is long overdue. Several readers suggested a writing contest and we love this idea. So readers, put your creative caps on and send us a poem or essay that expresses the contributions men and women have made to our country’s history. This also might be a good project for teachers to give their students.

Send your efforts to Annie’s Mailbox at creators.com or Facebook.com/ AskAnnies. We will print the best one on July 4, along with your name.

Dear Annie: I’m puzzled by the apostrophe in “Annie’s Mailbox” combined with a photo of two women.

If both of you are named Annie, then the apostrophe should be after the “s” (“Annies’ Mailbox”). If only one is Annie, why are two women pictured? -- Your Fan, the Grammar Cop in Sarasota, Florida Dear Grammar Cop: We love these questions. They are so unexpected. For the record, there are two of us, and neither of us is named “Annie.” One of us is Kathy and the other is Marcy. (This should be noted at the bottom of the column.) The Mailbox was named in honor of Ann Landers, with whom we both worked for many years. Hence it is “Annie’s Mailbox” with an apostrophe. Hope that clears it up. After all, there can be only one Ann Landers. We simply do the best we can to honor her legacy.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@ creators.com, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. You can also find Annie on Facebook at Facebook. com/AskAnnies.

Archeologist wants to protect shipwrecks from looting Adina Bresge Canadian Press

HALIFAX - A leading marine archaeologist says Canada needs a consistent national strategy to protect the country’s underwater wrecks, amid concerns that sunken ships are being looted and undermanaged.

“In Canada, shipwrecks are kind of the poor cousin to on-land archaeological sites,” said Rob Rondeau, who has studied both the wrecks of the Titanic and Empress of Ireland. The ships sank just two years apart, carrying several hundred souls apiece to watery graves.

The Empress of Ireland collided with a Norwegian coal ship on May 29, 1914, whistles blaring through the dense fog. Two-thirds the size of the Titanic, the freighter disappeared beneath the surface in just 14 minutes. Of 1,477 people aboard, 1,092 perished.

While the disaster of the Titanic looms as large as its name in our national consciousness, the Empress of Ireland - despite a similarly tragic casualty rate - has for the most part slipped into the annals of history. Rondeau says this reflects differing efforts, or lack thereof, employed to preserve the sunken ships and commemorate the disasters at a national level.

“The United States, they’ve been much more proactive with Titanic,

they’ve really sort of embraced it as their own, even though it was an international ship,” Rondeau said Tuesday before a presentation at the Canadian Museum of Immigration.

More than 3,700 m below the surface, the Titanic lies in international waters and thus falls within the scope of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. In addition, the United States has national legislation protecting all archaeological sites from sea to shining sea.

“In Canada ... we don’t have one standard. We have a patchwork of regulations that vary from province to province,” Rondeau said, noting that the hodgepodge confuses even basic questions like who qualifies as an archeologist and how old does an archaeological site have to be.

Sitting just 40 m below the surface of the St. Lawrence, the Empress of Ireland is the last Edwardian-era shipwreck accessible by dive, making it a prime target for recreational treasure hunters seeking their own piece of history.

Oceanographer Robert Ballard, who discovered the Titanic wreck, visited the Empress site and found that everything from fixtures to human remains have been pilfered.

In Quebec, no specific protec-

tion is afforded to shipwrecks. In 1999, the Empress of Ireland was declared the first underwater heritage site in the province, and is also protected under Canada’s merchant marine legislation.

Rondeau says both sites can be called legislative successes, but monitoring is paramount. The Empress is of particular concern because it’s so accessible.

“Any legislation, whether its dealing with speeding or (shipwrecks), if you’re not enforcing it, it isn’t effective,” he said.

Archaeologists like Darryl Kelman, president of the Nova Scotia Archeology Society, fear that these private scavengers will disturb or damage the artifacts, potentially re-

moving valuable information about our past.

Until 2010, shipwrecks were considered “treasure” in Nova Scotia under the Treasure Trove Act, which allowed the province to contract private companies to excavate underwater sites for a small share of the profits. A new law is now in place to better protect shipwrecks, though implementation is still a work in progress.

“The heritage, whether it’s underwater or on-land, it’s everybody’s heritage,” said Darryl Kelman, president of the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society. “It isn’t fair for one person to benefit by selling bits of everyone’s heritage.”

Rondeau says recovery expedi-

tions are best left to archaeologists, who know how to conserve the artifacts they bring to land, and more importantly, what to leave behind.

“We’re here to protect the resource, and it’s hard to do that when you have to report to someone beholden to private interests,” Rondeau.

For now, freezing water, darkness and sweeping currents are the only on-site protection for the decaying Empress of Ireland. Rondeau, who has visited the site, describes using a flashlight to trace the outline of a 170-metre-long hull collapsed on its side, wires exposed, the remains of hundreds of passengers and crew entombed inside.

SpaceX’s recovered rocket back at port after sea landing Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The rocket that made a historic landing at sea last week is back at its home port.

SpaceX’s recovered 15-story booster, still standing tall on its float-

ing platform, pulled into Florida’s Port Canaveral Tuesday. The company plans to test-fire the engines 10 times. If everything looks good, the booster could be used again on another mission as early as June.

SpaceX is the first company to land a rocket at sea. This particular first-stage booster hoisted space station supplies for NASA on Friday. Normally, it would have ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic.

SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk says reusability is crucial for lowering launch costs and opening access to space. His dream is to build a city on Mars.
