Barry CoulterThe Gogo Grannies

of Cranbrook are set for their eighth annual Glitz and Glamour Mothers’ Day Brunch, to take place Saturday, May 7 —the day before Mothers’ Day — at the Heritage Inn.

The fundraising event features “gently used” jewelry, scarves, purses and other items for sale. There will be a silent auction of a con-siderable number of items donated by local citizens and business-es, doors prizes for six lucky attendees, and great food and refresh-ments.

And everyone who attends the brunch will have a chance to to win a beautiful handmade quilt do-nated by Rose Augus-tine. This year marks the fourth year Rose has donated a quilt for the cause.

The Brunch begins at 11 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are on sale at Lotus Books in Cran-brook. Organizers ad-vise that the event has sold out each year pre-viously, so get your tickets early.

Since 2007, the GoGo Grannies have raised almost $100,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The foun-dation directs its funds to community-level organizations in 15 Af-rican countries to sup-port grandmothers caring for their grand-children due to the im-pact of HIV/AIDS. Funds raised support their well-being, their

medical needs, and helps provide the means for earning a living and housing and education needs.

The GoGo Grannies

of Cranbrook, Kimber-ley and Wasa was formed in October, 2007, after hearing Ste-phen Lewis speak. Their purpose is to raise

awareness about the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.

“Our local group of dedicated grannies real-izes the grandmothers

in Africa can’t quit, so we have assumed the philosophy that we can’t quit either,” said Cynthia Stuart, one of the orga-nizers.

Barry CoulterLooking forward to an

awesome, auspicious day, dedicated to small, inde-pendent bookstores ev-erywhere.

Lotus Books in Cran-brook is marking Authors for Indies, Saturday, April 30, with a day filled with events and good times.

2016 marks the sec-ond annual incarnation of the national event Au-thors for Indies — which coincides with Indepen-dent Bookstore Day in the U.S.

“It’s a North Ameri-ca-wide celebration of in-dependent bookstores, demonstrating that small bookstores are alive and well,” said Erin Dalton, owner of Lotus Books in Cranbrook. “Predictions of doom and death of the printed word are all the rage, but independent bookstores are still there, doing their thing.”

Lotus Books is joining the more than 100 book-stores and more than 500 authors who are celebrat-ing Authors for Indies in Canada on April 30 — when authors and pub-lishers from around the country get out and about, to help support the bookstores that carry their works.

“It will be neat to see different authors doing their different things,” Dalton said.

Joining Lotus with be Fernie’s Angie Abdou — authored of three ac-claimed novels and nu-merous short stories, and Jerry Auld of Canmore, a renowned mountain fic-tion writer and member of the Imaginary Moun-tain Surveyors Press, and independent publisher specializing in mountain stories.

The authors will be at Lotus from 1 p.m. To 3 p.m.

“They’ll both be in at-tendance, with a list of books they’re reading and love, and they’ll be dis-cussing these books with the public,” Dalton said.

There will be give-aways of merchandise throughout the day, in-cluding special offers from Geist Magazine, who will be using the oc-casion to market their 100th issue.

And every participat-ing store in Canada will be connected via social network.

But the afternoon with Abdou and Auld is just the beginning. The sec-ond part of the day will see the local world of writers at the HeidOut Brewhouse and Restau-rant, for the event “En Cervisia Novellus” (think “In Vino Veritas”). Six au-thors from around the re-gion, and their writings, will be paired with a par-ticular brew from the HeidOut, for a book and beer tasting. Featured guests are Keith Powell, Keith Liggett, Brenda Babinski (whose book is coming out later this summer), Jim Cameron, and Abdou and Auld. The event is free, but as seat-ing is limited, making a reservation is strongly recommended, Dalton said. Call Lotus Books to make such a reservation.

Events take place at 7 p.m. in the basement fa-cilities of the HeidOut.

So mark April 30 on your calendars — a day to celebrate the writers, books and bookstores in our lives.

“I’m trying to get them ready for it because it’s kind of scary. Our robot isn’t beautiful, but it works really well,” Walker said.

“I told the guys we don’t necessarily care if it’s beautiful as long as it works right. And it does, it works really well. I’m impressed, because I didn’t know if we could do this.”

The students them-selves were happy with their results, having worked with Walker since the beginning of the fall semester to build their ‘bots.

“Ours was one of the only ones that was built from scratch,” said Thomas Keehn, a mem-ber of the gold team. “It was one of the better built ones because it was able to do more than the

other competitors and we also had more prac-tice than the other teams.”

Nicholas McGee, who won bronze alongside Ricky Zaugg, said the sil-ver match was the tough-est one of the competi-tion.

“We were winning against every other team before, but silver was our biggest competition, be-fore the bronze,” McGee said. “It was a very close match it was only about one piece away between bronze and silver.”

The actual competi-tion features a closed off course with obstacles and parts littered inside. The robots, controlled by a driver, must collect the parts and build a wood-en boat in under four minutes. Teams advance on a points-based scor-ing system.

The students work from the start of the fall semester to build their robots for the Skills Can-ada competition. Walker does his recruiting in September to find stu-dents that would be in-terested in participating and then they plan out their builds.

“We sit at the front of the classroom and talk

about how can we do that? We did try a lot of things that didn’t work. We tried using suction cups to pick up the piec-es for the boat, but it didn’t work. It wasn’t strong enough,” said Walker.

“We tried different kinds of grippers. Usually the first time we make

the thing that tries to grab the piece, you find that it doesn’t work well enough, so you have to modify that.

“Sometimes the mo-tors aren’t strong enough for what you’re doing. There’s a lot of trial and error.”

The Skills Canada competition has a num-

ber or rules that the ‘bots must adhere to, such as being smaller than six cubic feet. The Mount Baker ‘bots are powered by 12-volt DC batteries and can’t exceed 240 watts.

In addition to Walker, the students also get sup-port from John Milner, a local machinist.

“He’s awesome,” said Walker. “WIthout John on the team, we couldn’t do all this. Between the two of us, we have the knowledge to get the job done, and it works pretty well.”

Nationals will be across the country in Moncton, New Bruns-wick, and Walker is put-ting out a call for fund-raising to help the stu-dents make the trip. He adds that there has been a lot of valuable commu-nity support for the ro-botics program over the years.

“It’s going to cost close to $16,000 to send the robot and the team there because it’s a multi-day event,” Walker said. “It’s a huge deal and it’s going to be really cool for the students. They’ll get

to see how other provinc-es build robots, they’ll get to have ideas and talk to those guys. It’s a great ex-perience.

“They’ll get to see how other provinces build robots, they’ll get to have ideas and talk to those guys. It’s a great ex-perience.”

If anyone is interested in helping cover costs for the robotics trip to na-tionals, contact Mount Baker Secondary School at 250-426-5241 or email Walker at [email protected].

C A RO LYN G R A N TCautiously optimis-

tic is the phrase that could be used for the East Kootenay Deer Translocation Study this far, says Ian Adams of Vast Resources.

Vast Resources are conducting the field work and overseeing the project along with partners from the cities of Kimberley, Cran-brook, Elkford and In-vermere, the Columbia Basin Trust and Animal Alliance of Canada.

“So far it’s been fairly good,” said Adams, who has been tracking the

collared mule deer.“We are getting

mixed results. Some deer are not moving very much, others a fair bit and some are con-tinuing to move.”

29 collared deer from Kimberley and Cranbrook were re-leased in the south country in February.

Two of them have been spotted near Baynes Lake.

“Two collared does have appeared at Baynes Lake which is about 20 kilometres from where they were released,” said Liz

White from Animal Alli-ance. “There have been a few complaints from some folks in the area but many more in sup-port of leaving them alone. The area is very rural and is situated in close proximity with heavily forested sur-rounding areas. There are approximately 160 residences but a num-ber of those are season-al.

“We have had peo-ple out observing the deer over the last few days and they are be-having just like the non-collared mule deer

who live in the commu-nity — sometimes they are closer to the resi-dences and sometimes they are in the bush. I guess we will see how things unfold.”

Adams says the two spotted in Baynes Lake are the first of the col-lared deer to be seen anywhere near a town, and noted as White did that Baynes Lake is quite rural.

“We have had occa-sional reports from land owners who have seen collared deer, but not all collared deer are part of this particular

study.“We had no expecta-

tion of what would hap-pen. We haven’t seen high predation rates and none have returned to their home commu-nity.”

Adams says there have been four mortali-ties from the 29 deer released with collars.

“It’s hard to say whether that is good or bad, though those numbers are probably lower than what we could have expected.

“All were predator deaths we think. There were two cougar kills for sure, one that was probably a wolf and a fourth that could be a cougar or could be road kill.”

That particular ani-mal’s collar was found near Newgate Road, Adams said. It could have been hit by a car

though there were no reports of a vehicle inci-dent.

On the other hand, it was close to where the other two cougar mor-talities were.

“But there have been no deaths that could be called stress related,” Adams said. “There was a lot of question as to how they would do. Capture related deaths due to stress can show up a couple of weeks

after an animal is han-dled.

“We are cautiously optimistic. There are a lot of factors in a study like this and it’s too early to use the word ‘success’. We need to see how they do. There are other variables to con-sider before we see if this is a potential man-agement option.

“But initial informa-tion indicates they are doing fairly well.”

Reason to be ‘cautiously optimistic’ on translocation trial

TRe vOR CR AwLeY The RDEK is encour-

aging the province to make some amend-ments to a legal docu-ment that would allow the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Mu-nicipality a voting seat.

Back in 2009, a reso-lution was passed by the RDEK board requesting that if a resort munici-pality was created, that it should not be given a voting seat on the RDEK board until there enough of a local popu-lation to elect a local council.

When the resort was incorporated in Novem-ber 2012 by a provincial Order in Council, the legal document, called a Letters Patent, included language that would give a municipal direc-tor RDEK voting obliga-tions the year after the taxable value of the land totals more than $30 million or after January 1, 2017.

“When they set up the municipality in the Letters Patent, they ba-sically said that this mu-nicipality would get a vote by 2017,” said In-vermere Mayor Gerry Taft. “Obviously, that was a number of years ago and not much has happened up there.”

The JGMRM council voted passed a resolu-tion to extend their RDEK voting rights starting from 2020 in-stead of 2017, however, the RDEK felt it didn’t go for enough.

“The Jumbo council itself has sent a similar request—they don’t even want a voting seat

RDEK wants province to deny Jumbo voting rights at board table

at the board right now. So their request was to change the number from 2017 to 2020,” said Taft.

Taft says the RDEK board doesn’t want to see JGMRM get a vote that would affect region-al interests if the munic-ipality itself doesn’t have any residents.

“What ended up get-ting passed was basical-ly adding support to the resolution of 2020 and further asking that there be a base minimum of population and as-sessed value before a voting seat is given to Jumbo,” said Taft.

“Philosophically, I think a lot of us believe that there shouldn’t be a vote on regional matters unless you’re represent-ing some people and right now there’s no people up there.”

The province has the authority to amend the Letters Patent

The issue of building an all-year ski resort on Jumbo Glacier has been

ongoing for more than 20 years.

Currently, the project is at a standstill after being ruled ‘not sub-stantially started’ by the Ministry of Environ-ment last June, which resulted in a Environ-mental Assessment Cer-tificate (EAC) expiring. Should the propo-nents—Glacier Resorts Ltd.—wish to continue, they must go obtain a new EAC.

In addition to the de-cision from the provin-cial government, the Ktunaxa Nation Council are taking the provincial government to the Su-preme Court of Canada over a decision to ap-prove a Master Devel-opment Plan in March 2012.

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the province had adequate-ly consulted with the Ktunaxa Nation in and an Appeal Court ruling upheld that decision in August 2015.

Now, the Supreme

Court of Canada has agreed to hear the Ktu-naxa’s case, which cen-tres on a challenge to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which argues that the approval of the Jumbo’s master development plan is a violation of their Char-ter right to freedom of religion. According to Ktunaxa religious be-liefs, the region around Jumbo—known as Qat’muk—holds signifi-cant spiritual meaning as that’s where the Griz-zly Bear Spirit born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world.

For Ktunaxa, Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indispensable source of collective as well as individual guid-ance, strength, and pro-tection, and a necessary part of many Ktunaxa spiritual practices and beliefs.

The Supreme Court will hear the case some-time in 2017.

A dispute between the Ktunaxa Nation Council and the B.C. government is going to the Supreme Court of Canada over a proposed all-year ski resort at Jumbo Glacier.

CELEBRATING 25YRS of building beautiful homes in the Kootenays

Georgie Award Winning Home Builder


So the other night, at a campaign rally in New York, Donald Trump referred to the events

of September 11, 2001, most often referred to as 9/11, as 7/11.

The quote: “I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen down on 7-Eleven, down at the World Trade Center [in New York City], right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I have ever seen in action.”

I’m sure the Slurpees were yooooge!

I guess this would be right after he watched people in New Jersey cheering the events of the same day. Trump has said he witnessed that several times, a statement that most debunked as an outright lie.

Donald Trump gets around. At least in his mind.

This is the same mind that made up a government agency called the Depart-ment of Environmental, or DEP. Yup, Trump can’t even get an acronym right as he nimbly makes up facts to suit whatev-er narrative he may be pursuing on a given day.

But, despite mistaking 9-11 for 7-11, Trump still handily won the New York primary this week, taking all 90 delegates. Interestingly, he took every country and borough except for Manhattan, where he

lives. Apparently familiarity does breed contempt.

But as Trump spins his tales and gath-ers the popular vote in Republican pri-maries, a second contest is taking place and it perhaps demonstrates the off-the-cuff nature of the Trump campaign that he is failing this contest. Trump is a pop-ulist. He says things — sometimes with-

out a lot of deep thought behind them — that are absolute red meat to the angry, economically wor-ried voters who attend his rallies. But the run for president is a deeper game, and a candidate needs to be well organized. Because

it’s not just popular votes, it’s delegates.This is something Ted Cruz, who re-

mains in the running despite the full-body shudder he engenders in many, picked up on early. The Cruz campaign has a big ground game and he is securing actual delegates.

As explained by the New York Times, “And if Mr. Trump falls short of clinching the nomination after all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five territories have held their contests, those delegates could make their own decisions after the first ballot in Cleveland.”

Trump says this proves the system is rigged against him. He maintains that the guy with the most vote wins. Simple he

says. But the Byzantine rules governing the Republican nominating process have been in place for quite some time, says the party establishment and Trump should have been well aware of this. Inci-dentally, there are also bizarre rules on the Democrat side as well, including ‘su-per-delegates’, so it’s not just narrowed down to the world hates Trump, as he would have you believe.

All this will be moot if Trump reaches 1,237 delegates by June 7, the last day of primary voting. And he may not even have to do that. Speculation is that he could be 50 to 100 delegates shy and still sew it up because there will some 200 unbound, free agent delegates who can support anyone they wish at the conven-tion. And if Trump is close enough, the Republican Party denies the wishes of the majority of voters at its peril.

But it could come down to a floor fight at the convention this summer in Cleve-land. Hopefully that will not be as ugly as it sounds. I can actually see in my mind a great melee on the floor of the conven-tion centre, as delegates whack each other over the heads with chairs. Consid-ering all that has come before in this strangest of election campaigns, it really wouldn’t be all that surprising.

Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

OpiniOn/EvEnts

S omeone asked me recently whether I saw God as a personal “being.” It re-minded me of the time when I was a

Presbyterian and learning the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Question–and–Answer 4 goes like this: “What is God? God is a spir-it; infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.”

Wow! By asking “What is God?” the Catechism seeks to describe the god of the philosophers rather than the God of the Christian story. If we think of God’s core iden-tity as infinite or eternal or unchangeable, then we are describing a god who can’t really be in a meaningful relationship with humanity.

This way of thinking about God has been shaped by philosophical abstrac-tions. Can you even imagine “omni-science?” Or one who is “omnipresent?” Or “omnipotent?”

That’s not the way of the Bible. In that library of books, we find stories about a God who relates to humanity. God doesn’t sit in heaven, distributing doctrine for us to believe and rules for us to follow. God comes among us to be in relationship with us.

Walter Brueggemann, perhaps the fore-most Old Testament scholar of this gener-ation, talks about “the strange God of fidel-ity.” He reminds us that God is a real char-acter in the story of the Bible, a God who acts, sends, delivers. We meet this “strange” God on every page of scripture.

This God chooses to be known not as an abstraction, but as One who is embed-ded with a particular people. God chooses to be vulnerable and even open to change for the sake of the world. God is intimately involved with this world.

Furthermore, God is not some impassi-

ble force, but One who is capable of a range of emotions. God is filled with love and compassion. God knows anger and hate and even violence. God enters into the pain of God’s people.

Once we recognize this, we can begin to see why it’s so important that God be a God of fidelity. This is a God whose affec-tion can be truly life–giving. When God

makes covenant to be with us. God is creating a rela-tionship that God will fight for. God is creating a people who will interact with God, rather than cursing an im-movable universal force.

Just as importantly, God establishes a relationship that is real. There is no predetermined outcome in which we have no say. There is no simple “given” about the way this relationship will devel-op. Real relationships don’t work that way. Real relationships change both partners involved in it.

Brueggemann uses the story of the Exo-dus as an example. Israel cries out to God. God hears. God remembers. God feels. God comes down. The story begins with the people, who initiate a relationship with the God who has promised to be with them.

There is a dignity to human participa-tion in this story. Humanity is honoured with a real relationship to God. At the same time, there is danger in this story, for the God who is faithful to the people demands a responding fidelity on the side of the human partners.

We find that story over and over again in the Old Testament. It continues in the story of Jesus, who lived as someone who was completely loyal to God. We would expect that God’s response would be one of unwavering fidelity and loyalty in turn. Yet on the cross, Jesus cries out, “My God,

why have you abandoned me?” It is a cry ripped from the guts of someone who feels himself to be set adrift. God has not been loyal. God has not played God’s part. God has left him.

The story of Easter is a dramatic battle between God’s promise of fidelity and the appearance of apparent infidelity. Jesus is a faithful human. Where is the faithful God? It is a “strange fidelity” indeed. But at the end of the story, human faithfulness is met with divine faithfulness. God hears once again. God bursts into death and brings life.

The one thing we must always remem-ber in all of this is that it is story. It is not “news and video at 11.” This story is not a documentary. It is a story, with all the rich nuances, imagery, symbolism and ambi-guity of all great stories.

When we tell stories about the interac-tion between God and human beings, we must of necessity use personal language. God can never be known in abstractions. This God can only be known in particulars.

These stories expose the limits of human language to talk about what is be-yond us. But stories also give us a point of entry into such mythic realities. Is God a personal being? Maybe. Maybe not. But the language of personal relationship is the only language we have.

To ask “What is God?” is absolutely the wrong question. I’m sorry, Westminster Shorter Catechism. The right question is “Who is God?”

And the answer is that God comes into relationship with us. God’s story becomes part of our stories. Our stories become part of God’s story.

Leashes, parksThis past Sunday my wife and I went for

what was supposed to be a nice calm walk along Rotary Way past St. Mary’s school and through Kinsman Park with our dogs.

On leash, because that’s the law.Well it was anything but relaxing, because

of all the dogs being allowed to run free, off leash. With every off-leash dog we encoun-tered, my wife would have to scoop up our small dog to prevent any conflict.

Now, every owner of every dog we have ever encountered all says the same thing. “Oh, my dog’s good, he’s just friendly.”

First of all, good for your dog. But, what you do not take into account is maybe that small dog yours is charging up to isn’t so friendly. There’s a fight brewing. Your dog, charging up like that, looks to any other dog,

especially small ones, that he’s attacking. So what is he going to do? Simple, he is going to defend himself. Again, a fight brewing.

The City just went to great pains and ex-pense to supply and open an OFF LEASH dog park. That is for the people who want to let their dog run free for a short time.

This Off Leash Dog park is the only place in this city where a dog is allowed to run free. Every other street, alley, park … the dog has to be on a leash, under the control of its adult owner.

If you don’t want to use the off leash park, please have the courtesy to keep your dog on leash, so that others can also enjoy the city parks.

And also, for every dog owner, please pick up after your dog. That’s also the law. Or, is the reason you let Fido run free so you can’t tell where he did his deed, so you can’t find it,

you don’t have to pick it up?Come on people, it’s not rocket science. It’s

manners, being polite and respecting others, and the city parks we all get to use.

And just a short note on this subject, the vast majority of dog owners do obey the leash laws and are polite. Some do let their dog run, but the instant they see someone coming, their dog, being properly trained returns to them the first call and is put back put back on leash until there is no one around. To those responsible people, thank you.

Maybe it’s time for the animal control offi-cer (if we have one) to start working off hours and weekends. We all pay our taxes, so why are some left out of enjoying our city, calmly, being allowed to relax doing it?

Sunny SoCal proves productive for Ice coach PierceKootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce soaked up sunshine & much more as member of WHL staff at U.S. Combine Camp

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce, pictured earlier this season, represented the WHL at its annual U.S. Combine Camp in Anaheim, Calif., this past weekend.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

For Luke Pierce, the youngest head coach in the Western Hockey League, a trip to sunny southern California was much more than a sim-ple vacation.

The 32-year-old bench boss of the Koo-tenay Ice soaked up the rays in Anaheim as a member of the coaching staff for the WHL’s 11th U.S. Combine Camp, which ran from April 15 to 17.

“It was a fantastic ex-perience just to be down there with such a great group of guys,” Pierce said Wednesday after-noon after having re-turned to Cranbrook. “Whether it’s the coach-es or the training staff, the league staff, every-body — it was fun to spend some time away from the game even though we were still there working hockey.”

Pierce made the trek down to Orange County alongside Brent Kisio, head coach of the Leth-bridge Hurricanes; Mike Williamson, head coach of the Tri-City Ameri-cans; and Bob Woods, head coach and general manager of the Saska-toon Blades.

The opportunity to rub shoulders with some experienced coaches was a welcome opportunity for the Merritt native as he works through his first WHL off-season after his Kootenay Ice missed the post-season for the first time since 1997-98.

“I think a lot of learn-ing goes on at every level, sitting casually after dinner just chat-ting and sharing stories, talking about different things you’ve done or

seen, as opposed to the formal setting of confer-ences or clinics,” Pierce said. “I’ve always en-joyed that setting and I feel like you pick up a lot more. You share differ-ent thoughts, talk about different teams and what they do. It’s unique, but it’s no dif-ferent than anybody in any profession — when you sit around with other colleagues that work in the same pro-fession but maybe for a different company, you can’t replicate that when it comes to mind-melding.

“The biggest thing for me is listening to them talk about differ-ent stuff. We’re all very similar. There’s nobody that’s created a brand-new way. It’s not like we’re missing the mark by doing things com-pletely backwards. We’re all doing a lot of things very, very similar

with our own unique qualities or styles. It helps reaffirm that we’re not missing the page here. We’re on track, we just need to continue to preach the buy-in.”

While those come as encouraging words for Kootenay Ice fans, there was much more to the trip for Pierce, as it also provided an excellent opportunity to work alongside and assess some of the best and brightest 15-year-old American prospects ahead of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

Pierce and the crew of WHL coaches ran practices and games for individual teams, fea-turing more than 80 of the top prospects from the western United States, including Alaska.

The Ice, of course, hold the first-overall se-lection at this year’s an-nual restocking, which is fast approaching. Ac-cording to director of scouting Garnet Kazuik, expect to call as many as 10 names over the pro-ceedings Thursday, May 5 in Calgary. So while the first-overall pick is of great focus, the oppor-tunity to make good on the draft continues all the way down to the final selection.

“There were some very, very talented kids from the Dallas group,” Pierce said. “There was a pretty wide variety [of players]. It’s neat to see a little different approach from some of them in the game. But for the most part, I think they’re obvi-ously extremely compet-itive and, no question, there are some kids that are going to be drafted and some probably drafted quite high. It was a good opportunity for us to get some eyes on

some guys.”According to West-

ern Elite Hockey Pros-pects, forward Luke Toporowski (Chicago) is considered one of the top-ranked Ameri-can-born prospects heading into the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

The number of American players se-lected at the WHL Ban-tam Draft has been no-table in recent years.

At the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, a total of 30 players were selected from the U.S., including Nolan Foote — son of former NHL defence-man Adam Foote — who was made the top Amer-ican selection when the Kelowna Rockets tabbed him in the second round (43rd overall).

For comparison’s sake, the largest provid-er of talent was Alberta with 72 players called while B.C. had 60 play-

ers claimed by WHL squads. Manitoba (36) and Saskatchewan (33) fell just ahead of the western United States.

In 2014, a total of 38 players were selected from south of the bor-der, including Mark Kas-telic, who was the top U.S.-born pick when the Calgary Hitmen chose him in the second round (41st overall). Kastelic just completed his WHL rookie campaign, regis-tering five goals and 10 points in 59 games with the Hitmen.

The 2013 WHL Ban-tam Draft saw 30 Ameri-can-born players select-ed, including Patrick Khodorenko, who the Everett Silvertips select-ed in the second round (26th overall).

While Pierce wasn’t ready to reveal any scouting reports ahead of the bantam draft, he said a key in rebuilding

any roster can also come in the form of listing un-der-the-radar type play-ers that perhaps go un-drafted in May.

“There are no secrets anymore,” Pierce said. “People are probably all on line with who the top handful of guys were. To me, the ones I’m really interested in and shar-ing and talking with [general manager] Jeff [Chynoweth] is maybe some of the kids who don’t get drafted that we can hopefully look into potentially enticing into coming to a camp and going that route.”

Still, the primary focus remains on the upcoming 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. With as-sistant coach Gordon Burnett in attendance as part of the staff for the B.C. Cup, slated for April 21 to 25 in Salmon Arm, the Kootenay Ice have eyes in close on the

province’s top ban-tam-aged players. Chynoweth is also ex-pected to travel to the B.C. Interior to scout the weekend proceedings.

Meanwhile, Pierce will hold down the fort in Cranbrook before travel-ling to Canmore, Alta., to scout the Alberta Cup from April 28 to May 1. Like the B.C. Cup, the Alberta Cup brings to-gether 160 of the top bantam-aged players in the province for a jam-boree-style tournament, making for an effective scouting ground for all WHL clubs.

“At this time, with where we’re at in this organization,” Pierce said, “I don’t think you can leave any stone un-turned, as far as poten-tial kids, whether they’re drafted or not drafted.

“With where we’re at, I don’t think you can write off any options.”

“It helps reaffirm that we’re not

missing the page here. We’re on track,

we just need to continue to preach

the buy-in.”Luke PierceHead CoachKootenay Ice

Pursuit of Ed Chynoweth Cup continues as four teams remainTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

Only four teams re-main in the race for the Ed Chynoweth Cup as the Western Hockey League playoffs wear on.

Eastern Conference Championship

The 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup host Red Deer Rebels (second, Central Division), fea-turing former Kootenay Ice captain Luke Philp, eked out a trip to the

Eastern Conference championship series by defeating the Regina Pats (wildcard, Eastern Conference) in a sev-en-game thriller.

While the Rebels aim to enter the Memorial Cup through the front door by winning the WHL title, the next task at hand will be a tall one as they face the Brandon Wheat Kings (first, East-ern Conference), who cruised past the Moose Jaw Warriors (third, East

Division) in a five-game second-round series.

Philp has been pro-ductive during the post-season as he cap-tains the Rebels squad. The 20-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., has amassed three goals and 10 points in 12 games this post-season after wrapping up the regular season with 21 goals and 45 points to his credit in 39 games.

Led by John Quenne-ville (7-9-16), the Wheat

Kings have been an of-fensive juggernaut to this point in the post-season, leading the WHL with 50 goals for through 11 games, good for an average of 4.55 goals per game.

The Wheat Kings and Rebels open their best-of-seven conference championship Friday in Brandon. The series shifts to Red Deer for Game 3, scheduled for Tuesday, April 26.

Western Conference Championship

On the other side, the Kelowna Rockets (sec-ond, B.C. Division) scored a dramatic win over the Victoria Royals (first, WHL) in Game 7 of their second-round clash to advance to the Western Conference championship.

Justin Kirkland scored twice in regula-tion for the Rockets, in-cluding the game-tying marker with less than

one second to play in the third period. Calvin Thurkauf converted 5:56 into overtime to give Kelowna an improbable and unbelievable tri-umph over the WHL’s regular season kings.

Standing in the way of the Rockets’ title de-fense will be the Seattle Thunderbirds (first, U.S. Division), who knocked off the Everett Silvertips (second, U.S. Division) in a five-game sec-ond-round series.

Mathew Barzal (2-10-12) continues to be the catalyst for the Thunder-birds offense, while for-mer Swift Current Bron-co Landon Bow has been solid between the pipes (8-1, 1.42 GAA, .936 SP).

The Rockets and Thunderbirds open their best-of-seven confer-ence championship Fri-day in Kelowna. The se-ries shifts to Seattle for Game 3, scheduled for Tuesday, April 26.


SportSCranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin


A career season keeps getting better and better for Kimberley na-tive Carter Bancks.

After previously being recognized for his community efforts with the Utica Comets Man of the Year Award, the 26-year-old Bancks was presented with the Tom McVie Award for coach’s most valuable player.

“It’s a huge honour, it was something that was very exciting for me,” Bancks said over the phone from Albany, N.Y., Thursday after-noon. “With our team this year, we didn’t have any real superstars. This award could have gone to a lot of different play-ers. We had some guys that went up to Vancou-ver [NHL] that ended up not being here for a while that were playing real good hockey for us.

“[The MVP award] probably could have gone to six, seven or eight different guys in the dressing room, but obviously, it’s a huge honour and something I’m very proud to win.”

The banner season for the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Bancks saw him register career highs in goals (14), assists (25) and points (39) as the only player to suit up for all of the Comets’ 76 reg-ular season games.

While the personal accolades are great, Bancks isn’t satisfied as his Utica Comets — mi-nor-league affiliate of the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks — open the

2016 American Hockey League playoffs Friday night against the Albany Devils.

After trekking all the way to the 2015 Calder Cup Championship only to fall in five games to the Manchester Monarchs, Bancks and the Comets are hungry to get back to the big stage and take care of business.

“Last year, we came up short and so there’s that bitter feeling even though we had a great season,” Bancks said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys in our locker room this season, but we’re excited and we’re going to push hard to get back to that spot and give ourselves another chance at it.”

Still, the focus re-mains one step at a time as the Devils present a formidable opponent for the Comets in a best-of-five first-round clash.

The Devils (46-20-8-2) finished the regular season second in the AHL’s North Division, while the Comets (38-26-8-4) rounded out the campaign a distant third.

“They are a really good team that has had a great season,” Travis Green, head coach of the Comets, told Tyson Giuriato of Canucks.NHL.com. “They play a real sound game and they don’t give you a lot. They are real structured and have a big defence core. They don’t give up a lot of scoring chances and they don’t give up a lot of goals. You have to earn everything you get against them.”

In an eight-game season series between the two divisional rivals, four games required overtime to find a reso-lution. The Devils scored four regulation victories and two over-time wins, while the Comets’ only triumphs came via overtime. The Devils outscored the Comets by a 28-15 mar-gin in the process.

Not convinced this is a tough first-round match up for Bancks and the Comets?

The Devils also rank as the stingiest team in the AHL’s Eastern Con-ference, having allowed a paltry 167 goals against over the 76-game regular season (2.20 per game).

“We’re going to have to compete hard and manage pucks,” Bancks said. “[The Devils] thrive off turnovers, so we’ve got to take care of pucks. It’s going to be a bit of a war in the offensive zone. They’re big and they try to stop you from getting to the net. We’ve got to be prepared to get greasy and fight hard to try and create some havoc in their goalie’s

crease.”With a tall task at

hand, the young Bancks keys on something heard very often around these parts from his fa-ther and former Kim-berley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks.

“In playoffs, you’ve got to remain even keel,” Bancks said. “There’s going to be highs, there’s going to be lows. You can’t get too high and

you can’t get too low. You’ve got to forget things real quick and move on.

“We’re going to need a full-team effort. Like I said, our team’s not the type of team that relies on a superstar or one line. It’s going to take all four lines, all six ‘D’ and

goaltending. We’re going to have to be ready to compete, grind and stay patient, because Albany can certainly frustrate you in how they play. You’ve just got to keep doing the right things and eventually it will pay off.”

Cranbrook native Jace Coyle hammered out a successful first campaign in Great Brit-ain this past season, helping the Sheffield Steelers collect a second consecutive Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) title.

Coyle, 25, registered 10 goals and 34 points in 64 regular season games with the Steelers, who

went on to defeat the Fife Flyers by a 3-1 mar-gin March 20 to claim the league crown.

The 6-foot, 179-pound defenceman spent four seasons in the Western Hockey League, split between the Spokane Chiefs (2007-08) and Medicine Hat Tigers (2008-09 to 2010-11), after an 89-game KIJHL career that took him from the Fern-ie Ghostriders to Revel-

stoke Grizzlies (2006-07 to 2007-08).

Coyle amassed 25 goals and 107 points over the course of his 241-game WHL career.

After graduating from the junior ranks, Coyle inked an en-try-level contract with the NHL’s Dallas Stars, suiting up in 61 Ameri-can Hockey League games and 113 ECHL games before taking his game to Europe.

The 2014-15 season saw Coyle suit up for the Aalbourg Pirates of the Metal Ligaen — the pre-mier league in Danish ice hockey.

The Architecture Of Our AgesCranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin

Mr. E.E. Orchard, having under-

taken the construction of, according to the Cranbrook Herald, “one of the finest cottages on Baker Hill” in late 1900, and finding it ready for occupation in the spring of 1901, decided he would pull up stakes and head to Frank, Alberta to open a restaurant. Ed-ward Irwin Paterson, having recently arrived in Cranbrook from Ti-verton, Ontario, took the opportunity to purchase the residence.

By 1907, Mr. Paterson found himself secre-tary-bookkeeper for the Fink Mercantile Com-pany, a rather presti-gious position given that the business was among the most prominent in the community. That same year he married Rhoda Leitch.

Daughter of lumber mill owner Archibald Leitch, Rhoda was re-cently returned from music studies in Toron-to and joined Edward in the little bungalow on Garden Avenue. The Leitch family was known throughout the Crowsnest Pass where brother Malcolm built the Leitch Colliery, the ruins of which are still

The Paterson and Dunn Residences

standing today, and where brother Alexan-der, along with his wife and four sons, perished in the Frank Slide of 1903. Marion Leitch, one of three daughters who miraculously sur-vived, was raised by Rhoda’s family.

In 1912, Edward hired local architect F.S. Rossiter to design a much more prestigious house two blocks south on Garden Avenue. Built by the firm of Baker and Banfield, construction of the handsome two-storey building began in the spring of 1912. Upon completion, Mr. Pater-son sold his former resi-dence to Mr. B. McFar-lane and he and his wife moved into their large home, eventually filling it with their six children Leitch, Sheila, Douglas, Christine, Bruce and Peter.

In the early morning hours of May 11, 1928,

while returning from a basketball game in Kim-berley with his children Sheila and Leitch and their friends Colvin Mc-Burney and Dorothy Spence, Mr. Paterson missed a curve and the vehicle overturned. He was crushed beneath the car and died almost instantly. The others es-caped with severe bruis-es. The funeral was held from the family home and he was laid to rest in the Old General Ceme-tery where he was joined by his wife in March, 1954.

The Paterson resi-dence, with its distinc-tive long, sloping roof and columned veran-dah, came into the pos-session of Dr. G.E.L. McKinnon in 1929, who remained there until 1972.

F rank Albert Dunn, born in Maine in

1850, began his railway career at age 15, as a te-

legrapher with the Wa-bash Railway. He later became a train dispatch-er with the Great North-ern Railway at Kalispell, Montana and then with the CPR in Cranbrook. A widower when he ar-rived in town, he spent much of his free time hunting, fishing and un-dertaking amateur taxi-dermy and a brief term as a local alderman.

In 1908, he pur-chased a number of lots on Hanson Avenue with the intention of having homes built for rental purposes and, between 1909 and 1910, con-structed a large resi-dence for himself which he occupied until 1915.

Frank officially re-tired in 1921, but con-tinued to work for the CPR as a natural re-source officer at Watts-burg (Lumberton), Yahk and Canal Flats. He died at age 80, after contract-ing pneumonia follow-ing teeth extraction. His body was sent to Che-noa, Illinois for burial alongside his wife.

As an aside, in 1907, while traveling to Cran-brook on the Great Northern Railway in Montana, his train was infiltrated by robbers Charles MacDonald and George Frankhaus-er who halted it near Rexford, blew open the mail safe and made off with an estimated $40,000.

Among the last of the Wild West train robber-ies in North America, Frank stated it was one of the best planned and successful robberies that ever came under his notice but added “he was not anxious to have a repetition of the expe-rience.”

The Dramatic LifeCranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin

Krist y Quinn

W e’ve all heard that misery loves compa-

ny, but in the case of The Odd Couple, misery also loves an audience!

Cranbrook Commu-nity Theatre brings Neil Simon’s most famous work to the stage next month with both new and veteran local acting talent. Bob Wakulich is gruff, easygoing and sarcastic as Oscar Mad-ison, a sportswriter whose financial and marital failures are ex-emplified in his sloppy appearance and gar-bage-filled apartment. A recent divorcee, Oscar is lovable but im-possible to live with – a situation his best friend Felix Ungar suddenly finds very familiar.

We are introduced to Felix by the verbal jabs and barbs of his bud-dies, the poker players who pull up their chairs to Oscar’s table every Friday night. These quick-witted pals (played by Alexander Gilmour, Barry Borg-strom, Randy Tapp and Barry Coulter) deliver endless one-liners in their protest of the sti-fling heat, the state of Oscar’s foul apartment and the women in their lives. When Felix fails to show up for their weekly game, he be-comes the topic of con-versation and these long-time pals endless-ly poke fun at him too. Still, there is a true

sense of camaraderie and friendship between these men who com-miserate about their lives, loves and losses over old potato chips and rotten sandwiches. Once it is discovered that Felix has gone missing after his wife kicked him out and is quite possibly on the verge of taking his own life, they become genu-inely worried. When Felix shows up at Os-car’s apartment and the extent of his intentions are shown, panic sets in and the gang works to-gether in frantic, fren-zied hilarity to save Felix from himself. Oscar, the reluctant sav-ior, invites Felix to stay with him and this is when the audience real-ly sees the dynamic en-ergy between these two actors.

Thanks to the poker players, we hardly need an introduction to Felix, played by Peter Schalk. Felix is a “nutty” hypo-chondriac; if it’s not his allergies, it’s his “tense-ness” and alleged bursi-tis. There is always something wrong with Felix, much to the irrita-tion of his new room-mate.

Oscar is annoyed be-fore the end of the first night of their new ar-rangement but gives Felix the benefit of the doubt. His patience wears thin, however, when Felix begins act-ing like Oscar’s ex-wife, a stark and bothersome

reminder of why Oscar’s marriage fell apart in the first place and just how much he’s become accustomed to bachelor life. Even their friends notice the difference in the weekly poker game. Instead of complaining about Oscar’s smoke-

filled apartment and disgusting food, they find themselves sub-jected to sanitized play-ing cards and the re-quirement to use coast-ers for their drinks, courtesy of Felix.

Michelle McCue and Andrea Grossman enter

Oscar and Felix: Misery Loves an AudienceCranbrook Community Theatre’s “The Odd Couple” opens Friday, May 6, at The Studio/Stage Door

the fray as sisters Gwen-dolyn and Cecily Pi-geon, living upstairs in the same building as Oscar and Felix. A din-

ner party invitation goes horribly and hys-terically wrong and Oscar and Felix finally come to blows over

their incompatible ways.

Perfect opposites, Oscar and Felix banter and bicker their way through The Odd Cou-ple to fantastic comedic effect. Neil Simon’s most brilliant writing is on display here and it’s not hard to see why this Tony Award winning play has stood the test of time and has been performed countless times.

Directed by Bob McCue, this production will be shown at the Stage Door in Cran-brook for ten nights only: May 6-7, 11-14, and 18-21. Tickets are available at Lotus Books or at the door and all shows are at 8:00 p.m. There is a stair lift avail-able for those with mo-bility issues. Please call the Stage Door office at 250-426-2490 to book the star lift in advance.

Black PressLow-income B.C. seniors

may miss out on important benefits if they don’t file an income tax form, B.C.’s Se-niors Advocate says.

With the April tax dead-line approaching, Elizabeth

Mackenzie has reminded se-niors that 13,000 B.C. resi-dents were found in a nation-al survey to have missed out on the Guaranteed Income Supplement for as much as seven years. Once identified, seniors received retroactive

payments from Ottawa.“GIS is a key support for

the lowest income seniors,” Mackenzie said. “These are seniors living on $17,300 an-nually or less; however to re-ceive this GIS you must file an income tax return.”

Other B.C. senior benefits that require tax filing include Shelter Aid for Elderly Rent-ers (SAFER), a subsidized BC Bus Pass for seniors receiving GIS, and Medical Services Plan premium assistance for low-income B.C. residents.

Co-payments for home support service are also waived for seniors receiving GIS, and publicly funded res-idential care and assisted liv-ing rates are calculated based on after-tax income.

Volunteer income tax

clinics hosted by community agencies in B.C. offer free tax preparation. A list of free tax preparation services is avail-able on the Canada Revenue Agency website or by calling the office of the Seniors Ad-vocate at 1-877-952-3181.

The Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary (CHCA) held its third annual conference Monday, April 11, at the Heritage Inn. This year’s theme was “Mind and Memory — The M&M Con-ference.”

More than 100 delegates from Kimberley, Winder-mere, Invermere and Cres-ton registered to learn more about Mind and Memory.

As we age, the need to be aware of Wills and Estates, and the ever-changing laws concerning ownership and inheritance, takes on an in-creased importance. John

Zimmer, Q.C., of Miles, Zim-mer and Associates, spoke at length on this subject.

Joyce Turner, Landon El-liott and Deb Saffin repre-sented Golden Life.

Brad Woods, Recreation Director from the F.W. Green Home, spoke about the need to keep the mind busy and happy, and demonstrated some of the daily recreational exercises provided for the Green Home residents.

Constable Kathy Forg-eron from the RCMP had some astonishing facts to relate regarding scams and

how to protect yourself.Darryl Oakley, Regional

Psychogeriatric Caregiver Support from Interior Health, had a lot of really good ideas on how to keep the mind active and busy while caring for elderly and often very ill parents.

The event wound up with a presentation from Chelsea McCormack (Inner Roar).

The CHCA has already decided to have April 24, 2017, set aside for their fourth annual conference.

THE FREE PRESSTwo new made-in-

British Columbia high-tech wildlife detection systems to help motor-ists avoid wildlife are now operational on Highway 3 near Elko and Sparwood.

“About one in 25 crashes are caused by wildlife collisions often leading to fatal injuries of these animals and causing serious injuries to those in the vehicle as well as contributing to increased injury and collision claims,” Minis-ter of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone said. “Our govern-ment should always be looking at and imple-menting cutting-edge technology to keep costs low and make B.C. high-ways safer for both peo-ple and wildlife.”

As of Wednesday, April 20, drivers along Highway 3 will see flash-ing warning signs when a large animal ap-proaches the roadway, allowing the driver to slow down and avoid a collision. The compo-nents of the systems were largely designed and manufactured in B.C., including the soft-ware which was devel-oped in Victoria.

The systems are lo-cated approximately one kilometre east of Elko and approximately two kilometres east of Sparwood. These loca-tions were selected for the pilot systems be-cause of the high con-centration of elk and deer in the area.

“Highway 3 is a busy highway, used by min-

ing workers, tourists, commercial vehicles and locals,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “It is also home to large populations of elk and deer that some-times migrate onto the highway. We’ll be look-ing very carefully at the results of this pilot proj-ect to see if we can im-plement this technology in other areas around

the province.”Ministry staff have

been piloting this proj-ect since late 2015 and will continue to monitor the data from these sites to see if there is a de-crease in wildlife-relat-ed crashes as a result of the new detection sys-tems. This data will be examined to see if this is a viable solution for other parts of the prov-

ince.B.C. already has a

number of measures in place to reduce wild-life-vehicle collisions. These include wildlife exclusion systems with more than 500 km of fencing, overpasses and underpasses, roadside mowing and clearing and static and flashing advisory signs.

New wildlife detectors operational on Highway 3

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION

Warning signs installed in pilot project use radar and thermal cameras to detect large animals on the highway.

Daryl C alDerOn Wednesday morning, at 8

a.m., Naturalists met at the Eliz-abeth Lake Tourist Information area to search for birds within the Nature Sanctuary. This was the fourth regular Wednesday session of 2016; we expect to continue meeting once a week until early July.

During this period, ‘citizen scientists’ carefully observe the wide variety of bird life above,

beside and on the lake and it’s little islands. We report our find-ings to eBird, a real-time, online checklist program. Launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Orni-thology and National Audubon Society, eBird provides rich data sources for basic information on bird abundance and distri-bution.

In time, this data, collected by recreational and professional birdwatchers, will become the

Birds observed at Elizabeth Lake from 8 am to11 am, April 20

Rocky Mountain Naturalists Celebrate Earth Weekfoundation for a better un-derstanding of bird distri-bution across the Western Hemisphere and beyond. Intrepid birders this week included Greg, Audrey, Jackie, Katrin, JoEllen, Helga and Daryl.

This week was particu-larly notable because we cracked 40 species. A month ago, we observed about 20 species, and a

month from now, we’ll like-ly find over 60 species.

Elizabeth Lake is situat-ed along the Pacific flyway; migratory birds are moving from their wintering areas into habitats which are suitable for breeding, nest-ing and raising young. It’s never easy for birds, they must cope with adversity, and produce young that are strong and smart enough to

return to wintering areas. Some migrations are rela-tively short while others in-volve thousands of kilome-ters. Many birds will know that Elizabeth Lake can supply all their needs, so they do not need to pro-ceed any further. It is inter-esting to notice the new birds each week as well as the absence of some spe-cies which have gone

through already.We always welcome the

public to join us on Wednesday mornings, and, thanks to Cristina, this week we have a Naturalist display at the Tamarack Mall. Please visit rocky-mountainnaturalists.org

A Post-Grunge Moment

Ed Roland — front man and leader singer for Collective Soul — is happy to be back, judg-ing from the energy he brought to the stage at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook, Tuesday, April 19.

Collective Soul brought their hard-driving high energy rock show to an boisterous Cranbrook audience, playing for a full two hours. The band, which released a new album last year after a five-year break from recording, proved that rock and roll just gets better with age. That was the crowd’s opinion, as Collective Soul revued their considerable catalogue of past hits — “Shine,” “Where The River Flows,” “Gel,” “December,” et al — mixed with songs from their new album “See What You Started by Continuing.”

Ed Roland was joined by his brother Dean Roland (guitars), Will Turpin on bass, Johnny Rabb on drums and Jesse Triplett on lead guitar.

The rock continues at Western Financial Place on Sunday, April 24, where George Thorogood takes the stage.

LesLey NeiLsoNA prime wildlife cor-

ridor linking the Purcell and Rocky mountains has become more se-cure for the grizzlies, bighorn sheep and other wide-ranging ani-mals that use it thanks to the creation of a new conservation area locat-ed north of Edgewater, BC.

The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada has ac-quired a 630-acre (255-hectare) private property that once oper-ated as a Christmas tree farm. At the time of pur-chase, the land was list-ed for sale and was being advertised as an opportunity for subdivi-sion and motorized rec-reation.

The new Luxor Link-age Conservation Area forms part of a connec-tivity corridor for large animals moving through the valley. This area has been a target for conser-vation and habitat resto-ration for more than two decades.

“Luxor Linkage is a wonderful conservation project that continues to reveal its natural trea-sures each time I walk the land,” said Nancy Newhouse, British Co-lumbia Director of Con-servation for the Nature Conservancy of Canada. “The importance of this for conservation cannot be understated.

“The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada is so pleased to be able to help wildlife continue to move safely across and through the valley, while also providing beautiful spaces for resi-dents to walk and enjoy the natural wonders of this region.”

Independent re-search biologist Michael Proctor has identified these lands as one of the most important zones between Fairmont and Golden for grizzly bears moving between the Purcell and Rocky mountains.

Luxor Linkage sup-ports an amazing diver-sity of wildlife including the endangered badger, mountain goats, cougar, wolf, bear and many others. Notably, the conservation area in-cludes prime winter range for bighorn sheep, moose, elk and deer.

The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada plans to restore the traditional open forest and grass-land habitats. Resto-ration efforts on Luxor Linkage will comple-ment similar work com-pleted by the Province on adjacent lands. Res-toration projects will in-crease the amount of ecologically significant habitat in the area; in particular, restoration efforts will be targeted to improve the winter

conservation goals. The sensitive nature of Luxor Linkage and the sur-rounding area for key local wildlife will mean that recreational access will be limited to non-motorized use.

This project was sup-ported by funding from the Government of Can-ada through the Natural Areas Conservation Program.

“The Luxor Linkage conservation lands sup-port wildlife including the grizzly bear and big-horn sheep. Through the Government of Can-ada’s Natural Areas Conservation Program, we are pleased to invest in the protection of this important mountain habitat,” said the Hon-ourable Catherine McK-enna, Minister of Envi-ronment and Climate Change.

“Choosing Luxor Linkage as a priority property for conserva-tion was supported by the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s sci-ence-based planning

• Located in the Upper Columbia Valley approximately 6 kms north of Edgewater, the Luxor Linkage Conservation Area includes 630 acres (255 hectares) of mixed forest and grassland.

• This property supports Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir forest, two creeks (Luxor and Kindersley) and an understo-ry of native grasses and forbs.

• Luxor Linkage lies within one of the only mapped “high-capability” grizzly bear linkage zones between Fairmont Hot Springs and Golden.

• The open forest and grasslands sup-port high value winter range for bighorn sheep, elk and deer, as well habitat for several rare and at-risk species, includ-ing the nationally-endangered American badger.

• The Nature Conservancy of Canada is working on a second parcel to comple-ment this first acquisition. If successful, this additional purchase will add anoth-er 330 acres (133 hectares) to the con-servation area.

ence to make rigorous and informed decisions. Protecting key move-ment corridors for wild-life is a great example of smart, high-impact con-

servation.”

The Nature Conser-vancy of Canada (NCC) is the nation’s leading land conservation orga-nization, working to protect our most import-ant natural areas and the species they sustain. Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 2.8 million acres (over 1.1 million hectares), coast to coast. More than one quarter of these acres are in British Columbia. www.natureconservan-cy.ca/bc

The Government of Canada’s Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP) is a unique pub-lic-private partnership led by the Nature Con-servancy of Canada. To date, $345 million has been invested in the NACP by the Govern-ment of Canada to se-cure our natural heri-tage. Additionally, more than $400 million in matching contributions has been raised by NCC and its partners.

T he Panjwai Li-brary operates in one of the most

dangerous places on earth. Located just west of Kandahar, Panjwai — the birthplace of the Tal-iban — a region often described as “a living hell.”

It is synonymous with violence, death, mass graves, atrocities, and not all by the Tali-ban. In 2012 an Ameri-can soldier shot civil-ians at random, killing 16; most of which were small children.

Although Canadian troops forced the re-maining Taliban out of Panjwai in 2009, they still hold a strong psy-chological grip on the

Cathedrals of the mind in Afghanistan

when. There are two in-herit problems with this system. The first is that Wesa’s older brother is in charge of the ledger, even though he is func-tionally illiterate. So in-stead of book titles he only records how many books a persons has checked out. He does however have an in-credible memory, and can name off exactly who has borrowed what books. He also has no trouble walking great distances to someone’s home if their books are overdue.

The second problem is much more difficult. The Panjwai Library op-erates in a society which has a taboo on speaking or sharing a woman’s name in public. This

makes it impossible to keep track of any female wishing to borrow a book. Unofficially, Wesa has made it known that any and all woman may use a pseudonym at his library, even though this will make them impos-sible to find if they forget to return their books.

Only open since Jan-uary, the Panjwai Li-brary has about five visi-tors per day. This may seem sparse, but in an area of violence and destitution, it is clear the small library is vital and value service to those it serves. The majority of names to be found in the ledger are of young people, eager to read in a land with no schools. Some walk or ride their bikes more than 6 miles

just to get a new book to read.

Twenty-two seems awfully young for Wesa to have accomplished something no govern-mental agency was will-ing or able to do, but he has been engaged in this type of work since

he was only 14. It was then when he created an organization called Pen Path, which collect-ed donated books and distributed them to schools all over Afghan-istan that were de-stroyed by the war.

Leaving the Panjwai

Library safely in the hands of his brother, Wesa has now opened similar basement librar-ies in towns hit hardest by war. It is often thought that public li-braries are an impossi-bility in places without a stable government, but Wesa has been proving this is not so.

Journalist Caitlin Moran has stated that, “a library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emer-gency exit, a life-raft and a festival. They are ca-thedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen instead.” With this in mind, it is easy to see why the Panjwai Li-brary continues to exist.

Mike Selby is Reference Librarian

at the Cranbrook Public Library

area. Armed conflict still erupts, the land-scape is still littered with land mines, and any NATO installed govern-ment has either been abusive of corrupt (one example is the “ghost schools” — fake ones set up by officials who collected the funding and overseas aid for ed-ucation but simply pocketed the money).

Despite all this, 22-year-old Matiullah Wesa has opened a pub-lic library out of the basement of his home. Just over 1,600 books, magazines, and news-papers overflow the makeshift shelves which wrap around the mod-est room. A small desk and a register sit beside a folded up mattress, hinting at what was once Wesa’s spare bed-room. The carpeted floor is the only place to sit, but there are ash-trays and even a spit-toon (gross) for readers who chose to stay.

While there are no li-brary cards to be given, there is a small ledger which records who took what books out and

coming up on Sunday May 8, staff at the West-lawn Cemetery are poised for a large influx of flowers and other adornments over the days leading up to the holiday.

However, the City wishes to remind resi-dents that only fresh cut flowers are allowed on memorials at Westlawn or alternatively artificial flowers in the Mausole-um. Any other adorn-ments, of any kind will be removed by staff.

This follows the City of Cranbrook Cemetery Bylaw, which complies with the British

Columbia Crema-tion, Interment and Fu-neral Services Act, that includes the issue of adornments.

Under the bylaw, fresh cut flowers, wreaths and floral offerings may be placed in the autho-rized flower container

during the period of March 16 to October 31, in any year.

Artificial flowers may be placed in those same authorized containers from November 1, to the following March 15, in any year.

At the Westlawn Mausoleum, only artifi-cial flowers are allowed year round in the vase provided. Flowers placed on the floor will be removed by the Care-taker without notice.

Fresh cut flowers, wreaths and natural flo-ral offerings from a fu-neral procession, plant material and grave adornments associated with seasonal events or celebrations will be re-moved by the Caretaker after seven days.

The public is invited to review the City of Cranbrook Cemetery Bylaw by visiting the City of Cranbrook website at www.cranbrook.ca.

Fresh flowers only please

Your intuition kicks in when dealing with others, but specifically with someone to whom you have money ties. Tonight: Go with an idea.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Let others take the lead. Why should you always be the one to get caught in the crossfire? You’ll gain insights when watching others approach similar prob-lems. You also are likely to get a vision of a new way of handling a difficult person. Tonight: Be a little naughty and nice!GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You could be unusually focused on getting through what you need to get done. You under-stand that the weekend is upon you, and making calls and in-teracting with certain people might be difficult. You instinc-

tively will say the right words! Tonight: Full of fun.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Allow your creativity to take the lead, especially if you hit a roadblock. Someone you look up to mightshock you with his or her ideas. Listen to news with some skep-ticism; reach out toa trusted loved one to get feed-back. Tonight: Add mischief wherever you decide to go.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)It might be best to take some much-needed time off or hang close to home. One-on-one relating will prove to be par-ticularly effective, especially if you want to see eye to eye with someone who is a bit delusional about a money matter. Tonight: Invite others to your place.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You’ll be on top of your game, but you might not realize just how much sway you have. You could feel overloaded by all the calls and inquiries you re receiv-ing. Put on your efficiency hat, and handle as much as you can. Tonight: You don’t have to go far to have fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You could be exasperated by a loved one’s desire to have cer-tain matters play out the way he or she wants. Money and assets of all varieties are up for discussion with someone you need to talk to. Follow through on a hunch. Tonight: Try not to go way overboard.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)The Force is with you. A lot of energy seems to surround you. You might wind up in the hot seat, but not for long. Tap into your imagination and wisdom, and you’ll be able to figure out a problem quickly. You’ll hear news that could give you a jolt. Tonight: The world is your oyster.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Worry less about the whispers you are hearing around you, and know full well that you need to pretend not to know anything. Nevertheless, you’ll have a clue as to what is being discussed. A roommate or family does not need to know that you know. Tonight: Do a vanishing act.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your ability to see past the obvi-

ous will help you deal with some of your more emotional friends. Use your creativity to bring a sense of calmness forward for several of your loved ones. Be spontaneous and invite some-one special to join you later. Tonight: TGIF!AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see a matter differently from how others see it, but that is not news. You are eccentric, and this trait emerges in your thinking and your works. You might want to be attentive to someone you respect and whom you have to answer to. Tonight: Worry less.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might want to try some-thing in a new way. You often feel as if you can’t come up with the right answer, no matter what, especially when dealing with certain people. Know that most people have difficulty getting a “yes” from a group.

Dear Annie: Our only child is 30. “Delia” was diagnosed with serious mental issues as a teen, but with the help of a sensitive child psychologist and an excellent child psychiatrist, she did very well. But as soon as Delia turned 18, she aged out of the child psychiatrist’s care. She only sees her new doctor when she needs to refill her pre-scriptions. He rarely adjusts dosages, and I suspect it’s because she tells him every-thing is “fine.” But everything is not fine. Delia has held a couple of decent jobs, but after a few months, claims that she’s bored and either quits or is fired. She now has a minimum wage job and is just getting by. She opens credit card accounts, but ignores the bills when they come. She has no employer-pro-vided health insurance and won’t sign up for the government version, so we cover her medical expenses. We also help pay her rent, but her apart-ment is a wreck and she spends her time couch surfing until her friends toss her out. Her car is banged up from numerous fend-er benders and is full of trash. Her relation-ships start out OK, but she gets clingy and demanding, and pretty soon she is crying to my wife that her boyfriend dumped her. She never takes responsibility for the breakups, so the pattern is repeated. She has had two abortions, claiming that she cannot tolerate birth control. Intellectually, Delia is a smart woman, but just doesn’t seem able to manage the basic functions of living. Without our help, we honestly believe she’d end up on the street. The strain is causing physical stress symp-toms for my wife and me, and we worry what will happen when we are not around to pick up the pieces. There don’t seem to be any support groups for parents in our situation. What can we do? -- Distraught Parents Dear Parents: You sound like loving and responsible parents, and this situation is heartbreaking. But there is support for you. Please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness at nami.org or their HelpLine at 1-800-950-6264. NAMI has a Family Sup-port Group, as well as their Family-to-Fam-ily educational program that will help you develop coping skills. They also can make referrals and possibly find a doctor who will be a better match for Delia if she is willing to try. Dear Annie: This is for “Older and Wiser, Now,” who said that she was so terrified when a close friend was diagnosed with cancer that she avoided her. I developed breast cancer at the age of 50. My sons and ex-husband were of no help, and two of my sisters did very little. My middle sister helped, along with my best friend, who was more of a sister than the others combined. They took care of me ev-ery day. I wouldn’t be here if not for them. I want to tell everyone who is terrified: Don’t be afraid to offer a hand. You’d be surprised how much it will be appreciated. -- Been There, Done That Dear Been There: Thank you for saying so. No matter how afraid, we hope each per-son can work up the courage to pick up the phone and ask, “How can I help?” or even, “I don’t know what to say, but I want you to know I care about you.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Don started working the family business at the age of 12 years. He and his parents and his Uncle Milo owned and operated Fab-Co Forest Products and Fabro Building Supply from 1944 to 1989. Many of Kimberley’s prominent buildings were

built by Don and Milo and FabCo. The arena, curling rink, library, Special Care Home, Presbyterian Church plus the ski hill’s fi rst ski lift towers and many, many residences and commercial buildings in Kimberley.

Don married Marjorie Ann Biddlecombe on April 12, 1958 and they were blessed with three children, Dan, David and Patti. Family was so very important to Don. He cared deeply for family and friends and always had a kind word for anyone he met. Don was a very kind man and always had a smile with his twinkling blue eyes.

Don leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife of 58 years Marjorie and his children Dan, David (Carolynne) and Patti (Doug) as well as eight grandchildren, Haley (Shane), Clancy, Jaydlyn, Chad (Kelsey), Shane, Kevin (Christine), Katie (Sean), and Brenden and six great grandchildren, Natalie, Madeline, Annie, Jayce, Aurora and Sawyer. Don also leaves his brother-in-law Frank Biddlecombe. He was predeceased by his parents Alphonse and Benvenuta as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Please join us for a celebration of Don’s life on Saturday, April 23, 2016 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Kimberley Conference Centre at the Kimberley Ski Hill. Donations in Don’s memory can be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Tho you held our hands for a little while,You will hold our hearts forever.

Rest in Peace our Angel. You will be missed Dadio

We are saddened to announce that our mother, Shirley Millner, passed away quietly at the age of 86 after a brief illness.

Shirley was born in Portland, Oregon, grew up in Nelson, moved to Cranbrook as a newlywed in 1950, and lived the

rest of her life there. She loved her family, her friends, her books, and her beautiful gardens.

Shirley was predeceased by her husbands, Clarence Cloarec in August 1982 and John Millner in October 2011. Shirley is survived by her children Martin Cloarec (Rene), Lois Cloarec Hart (Day Petersen), Kathryn Sykes (Christopher), Laura Kennedy (D’Arcy) and Carol Waugh (Bob); her grandchildren Trevor Cloarec, Justin Waugh, Lindsay Waugh, Rachael Sykes, Brianna Kennedy, Devon Kennedy, Kristine Arinos (Lior) and Kayle Sykes (Erick); great-grandchildren Daniel, Noa, and Alma Arinos; and her brothers, Ron Goodman (Judy) and Gil Goodman (Terry).

Mom was a gardener, not only of the soil, but of the soul. Sustained by her deep faith, she cultivated love and compassion in all of us, and lived every principle that she taught. Our mother was uncommon and ordinary; she was patient, but had a redhead’s temper; she was the mother we cherished, and the elder who occasionally exasperated her children as old age took its toll. She was deeply, delightfully human, with all her graces and fl aws, and we shall miss her forever.

A memorial service for Shirley will be held on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at 11:00 am at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook. In lieu of fl owers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in Shirley’s honour may do so to the: Cranbrook Public Library, 1212 – 2nd Street North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4T6 or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Offi ce, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

SEXYLARIOUS!

AssociAted PressCHANHASSEN, Minn. - Prince,

one of the most inventive and influen-tial musicians of modern times with hits including “Little Red Corvette,” ”Let’s Go Crazy“ and ”When Doves Cry,“ was found dead at his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis. He was 57.

His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, told The Associated Press that the su-perstar “died at his home this morn-ing at Paisley Park.” The local sheriff said deputies found Prince unrespon-sive in an elevator late Thursday morning after being summoned to his home, but that first-responders couldn’t revive him.

No details about what may have caused his death have been released. Prince postponed a concert in Atlanta on April 7, after coming down with the flu, and he apologized to fans during a makeup concert last week.

The dazzlingly talented and charis-matic singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist drew upon musicians ranging from James Brown to Jimi Hendrix to the Beatles, creating a widely imitated blend of rock, funk and soul.

The Minneapolis native broke through in the late 1970s with the hits “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” and soared over the following decade with such albums as “1999” and “Purple Rain.” The title song from “1999” in-cludes one of the most quoted refrains of popular culture: “Tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.”

Born Prince Rogers Nelson, he stood just 5 feet, 2 inches — yet made a powerful visual impact at the dawn of MTV, from his wispy moustache and tall pompadour to his colorful and suggestive outfits.

He was equally powerful musical-

ly, summoning original and compel-ling sounds at will, whether playing guitar in a flamboyant style that drew on Jimi Hendrix, switching his vocals from a nasally scream to an erotic fal-setto, or turning out album after album of stunningly original material. Among his other notable releases: “Sign O’ the Times,” ”Graffiti Bridge“ and ”The Black Album.“

He was also fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over control of his material - and even his name, for a time insist-ing that he be called “TAFKAP,” or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and identified with a key-like symbol. Prince once wrote “slave” on his face in protest of not owning his work and famously fought and then departed his label, Warner Bros., before return-ing a few years ago.

Music was in his blood. Prince’s father played in a jazz band in Minne-apolis, under the name “Prince Rog-ers,” and his mother was the singer. The precocious young Prince taught himself to play the piano at age 7, the guitar at 13 and the drums at 14. In 1978, the year he turned 20, Prince debuted with the album “For You.” It was a declaration, if nothing else, that he could do anything: He wrote and sang the material, and served as his own one-man band on guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, chimes and as-sorted other instruments.

Rarely lacking in confidence, Prince effortlessly absorbed the music of others and made it sound like Prince, whether the James Brown gui-tar riff on “Kiss” or the Beatle-esque, psychedelic pop of “Raspberry Beret.” He also proved a source of hits for others, from Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” to Cyndi Lauper’s “When You Were Mine” to “Manic Monday” for the Bangles.
