TREVOR CRAWLEYPoliticians, commu-

nity volunteers and public servants cele-brated the official un-veiling of the new Inten-sive Care Unit at the East

Kootenay Regional Hos-pital with a ribbon-cut-ting ceremony on Friday afternoon.

The ICU, a $20 mil-lion project that broke ground in May 2014, fin-

ished ahead of schedule and under budget and will be fully operational by April.

In addition to the ICU expansion, which includes six beds, the

project also included an electrical system up-grade for the entire EKRH facility. Of the six beds, two are for high-acuity care, which are for patients who re-

quire more care than a standard inpatient ward, but less than the ICU and will help make sure the right bed is used to meet the care needs of patients.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, who hosted the ceremony, noted that the project was the result of various levels of government and com-munity organizations coming together to real-ize a vision.

“Our regional hospi-tal continues to improve service to the public and having celebrated each milestone in this proj-ect, along with the com-munity, I am very proud of the Province’s con-tinuing investment,” said Bennett. “The peo-ple of the East Kootenay will benefit for genera-tions from this beautiful facility.”

In his remarks, Ben-nett also noted the im-portance of the electri-cal upgrades, which im-proves power supply to the entire hospital, opti-

mizes the systems per-formance and provides capacity to expand for future power needs.

“I do recall a tour of the hospital I went on in 2000 and interestingly last night, there was a power outage and the new backup generators had to be fired up,” Ben-nett said. “…The two generators kicked in without a beat and there was electricity where and when it was need-ed.

“When I toured the hospital in the year 2000, I was taken down into the basement…and there are many here who will remember this—that old generator that used sit down in the basement, sometimes it wouldn’t start.

FOR THE TOWNSMANA Cranbrook resi-

dent is in custody after stabbing her partner in the thigh in the early morning hours of Feb-ruary 20th, 2016.

In response to a re-port of a domestic alter-cation at a local apart-ment building, Cran-brook RCMP found a manin obvious distress with a serious thigh wound.

The officers were quick to initiate emer-gency first aid to the man and were able to stabilize him until BC Ambulance Services ar-

rived.The victim was then

transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital by BC Ambu-lance where priority emergency room treat-ment improved his con-dition further.

The man is currently in surgery and is ex-pected to make a full recovery.

Police arrested a woman at the scene and are holding her in cus-tody to take before the courts. This was a tar-geted attack in a do-mestic relationship with no risk to the public.

P arliament started up again on Janu-ary 25, so I have once again been di-viding my time between Kootenay–

Columbia and Ottawa. One of the concerns that many of you have expressed is the lack of decorum in Parliament, particularly during daily Question Period, which at times can be rude and disrespectful, setting a very poor example of how democracy should work. I share this concern but I am encouraged by the work being done by the new Speaker of the House of Commons to change the at-mosphere in Parliament. I encourage him every chance I get to continue this important work. Here are just a few of many state-ments made by Speaker Geoff Regan to ad-dress Parliamentary decorum:

• “Let us listen up so we can get through this. Let us all pay attention and show re-spect for each other.”

• “Order please colleagues, we are going to hear things that are provocative. Some-times it is hard not to react, but I know we can do it. Let us restrain ourselves.”

• “I know we want to have more and more women parliamentarians in the House of Commons and it is important that we have a workplace that is civilized, so let’s ensure it is not like a 1950s old boys club in here.”

• “After the member asks his question, he might remind the gentleman in front of him that this is not the Muppets.”

Needless to say, this is a work in prog-ress.

The spring Parliamentary session con-tinues until June 23, with a total of seven weeks back in Kootenay–Columbia before the summer break. Last week I spent four days in Golden, Field and Revelstoke meeting with constituents, park superin-tendents and elected officials. It was good to hear from them about their concerns and priorities. I heard about the need for funding for infrastructure, affordable housing, high speed internet, park opera-tions and maintenance, and fixing the

Trans-Canada Highway.  I also heard about issues related to immigration, the Temporary Foreign Workers program, and the need to protect the Columbia River wetlands.

I am looking forward to hearing more from my constituents in the coming months, as I travel around our riding. You

can always contact my of-fice with any concerns about federal issues by call-ing 250-417-2250 or by emailing us at wayne.stets-ki@parl.gc.ca.

We will be officially opening our community offices in the coming

weeks. The grand opening for our Cran-brook Office at 111-7th Avenue will be held on February 29th. Our Nelson office, locat-ed on the 5th floor of Nelson City Hall, will have its grand opening on March 2nd. Check out our website at www.waynestets-ki.ndp.ca for details about these and other upcoming events in our community.

A number of constituents have asked what I can do to help them as a Member of Parliament in an opposition party. The answer is quite a lot. 

In our community: I have great staff in my offices in Cranbrook, Nelson and Otta-wa, who are here to help constituents re-solve issues with federal programs and services. They have access to information and contacts within the federal govern-ment who can provide information on topics ranging from citizenship to Employ-ment Insurance to income taxes. We can also provide you with current information on grant opportunities, tax tips and new pieces of legislation.

You can learn more about the services we provide on the “Service Desk” section of our website.

I can also write letters of support to Ministers regarding constituents’ interests and projects. Both in the riding and in Ot-tawa, I meet with delegations from many stakeholder groups like the BC Dairy Farmers, the BC Building Trades, the Ca-nadian Federation of Students and Health

Action groups, who share concerns about issues relevant to our riding.

In the House: In Ottawa, I can raise con-stituents’ concerns directly with govern-ment Ministers. I recently walked across the floor of the House to discuss an issue on behalf of the Ktunaxa with the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs. I also have the opportunity to hold the govern-ment accountable by asking questions in Question Period, speaking in the House, and presenting petitions signed by constit-uents. In early February, I presented a pe-tition signed by 700 constituents in favour of proportional representation.

As a party, the NDP submits motions for debate in the House on Opposition Days. The first NDP motion was debated two weeks ago. I was very proud of our party for putting forward a motion to set up an all-party committee to determine a way forward to end pay inequity for women in Canada. The motion was supported by all but the Conservative party, which means that the special committee will be formed in the near future.

MPs also have the opportunity to spon-sor private member’s bills. I will be work-ing with my staff to develop and introduce a number of private member’s bills, and would like to hear from you about your priorities. Feel free to email us at wayne.stetski@parl.gc.ca with your ideas on how to build a better Canada.

As the NDP Critic for National Parks, I work to ensure that our parks have the re-sources they need so that our natural trea-sures can be enjoyed for generations of Canadians. I know our national parks are important to the people of Kootenay–Co-lumbia, and I am honoured to be able to work on this file.

I look forward to speaking with more of you in the coming weeks and months and to sharing with you more stories from this place that is definitely not the Muppet show!

T r e v o r C r aw l e yAs part of the open-

ing round of the Koote-nay Granite Stone Soup Challenge, competing chefs can bring along a mystery item that the other chef must use in their soups.

After three rounds, only one chef has de-clined to use the mys-tery ingredient in their soup—a testament to the skill of the culinary artists plying their trade in the Salvation Army soup kitchen.

Friday afternoon saw the latest round go down between Chef Kevin McDonald of the West Coast Grill, who went up against the Salvation Army’s own resident chef Carmen Alaric.

McDonald was given the challenge of incorporating home-made mint-flavoured cookie pudding into his creation, while dishing out cookie dough that Alaric had to incorpo-rate in her soup.

However, both rose to their respective chal-lenges with their mas-

terful creations; for Mc-Donald, a curry-roast-ed turkey and vegetable soup, while Alaric whipped up a toma-to-based hamburger soup.

Sampling the end result, you wouldn’t even be able to detect any traces of the mys-tery ingredients of cookie dough and pud-ding.

In the end, it was Alaric and her home-grown knowledge of the Salvation Army cli-entele palates that put her over the top by a 32-25 margin over Mc-Donald. Each chef used the mystery ingredient and were therefore awarded five extra votes for their final tally.

McDonald made his way up to the Salvation Army kitchen after flip-ping a few hundred pancakes at his daugh-ter’s elementary school for a fundraiser, while Alaric had some help in spirit, sporting a t-shirt in support of Jaxson Campbell, a local 11-month old boy who is

undergoing chemo-therapy treatment for a rare cancer.

The Kootenay Gran-ite Stone Soup Chal-lenge is a joint fund-raiser for the Salvation Army’s proposed 24/7 homeless shelter and the Cranbrook and Dis-trict Community Foun-dation’s general en-dowment fund.

Next up is the con-clusion of the opening round as Chef Rusty Cox of the Heidout Restaurant and Brew-house will go up against the defending champi-on in Shelby Schiller of BJ’s Diner and Creekside Pub in Kim-berley on Monday.

Semi final matchups will begin next Tuesday Feb. 23, as chef Graham Barnes of Max’s Place will take on Lindsay Waugh of Hot Shots Cafe.

Semifinals will con-clude by the end of next week, with only two undefeated chefs who will then face off for a final event at noon on Wednesday, March 2, at the Prestige Rocky

C anadian PressOne man was killed

and a second snowmo-biler was in hospital late Saturday following an avalanche near Golden.

Golden-Field RCMP said two other men were uninjured when the avalanche struck the four riders in the Quartz Creek area west of the community.

Golden and District Search and Rescue flew into the area by helicop-ter after police were no-tified just after 12 p.m. MT that an emergency GPS beacon had been activated.

Police said a 30-year-old Calgary man died in the avalanche and a 40-year-old man from Winnipeg was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

The two other riders were also from Calgary. No names have been re-leased.

The incident came a day after Avalanche Canada issued an ava-

lanche warning as po-tentially deadly snow conditions develop on slopes across parts of eastern and southeast-ern British Columbia.

The warning was in effect through to Mon-day in the North and South Columbia re-gions, the Purcell Mountains and the Kootenay Boundary.

“Recent new snow and wind have deposit-ed up to a metre of new

snow across these re-gions that overlays a weak layer,” Avalanche Canada forecasting su-pervisor James Floyer said in the warning.

He said this layer has fail a “number of times” over the past few days, resulting in some close calls.

“Our concern is that as the sun comes out this weekend, this weak layer will become more easily triggered. And

with the amount of snow that’s on top of it we could be seeing some very large and dangerous avalanches.”

Glacier National Park has issued a simi-lar warning for back-country users in that region east of Revel-stoke.

Saturday’s avalanche follows another in B.C. almost a month ago in which five snowmobil-ers were killed.

Municipal Clerk

“So we had situa-tions with this hospital 15 years ago that if the power went off, we didn’t have electricity.”

In terms of funding, the breakdown consist-

ed of $11.478 from the Ministry of Health, $7.652 from the Koote-nay East Regional Hos-pital District and $870,000 coming from regional community

donations, including a $450,000 gift from the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary, and further donations from the Kimberley and Inver-mere Health Care Aux-iliaries.

KERHD president

Dean McKerracher noted he had a person-al connection with the project, having spent some time in the cur-rent ICU.

“I once spent some time in the old Intensive Care [unit], he said. “My doctors are here, so thank you for that. I will tell you it was not a plea-surable incident. Five days in there and there was no room for the family to come or for the nurses to work or for the doctors to work.

“So this is a tremen-dous step in the future for this hospital and this group.”

The new ICU is a 787 square metre addition to the northeast side of the EKRH. The size and layout will provide bet-ter flow through the unit for doctors and staff, while offering patients additional privacy, fam-ily spaces and maxi-mized natural light.

Dr. Lawrence Jewett, EKRH and Regional Chief of Staff, noted

that the hospital was once featured many years ago in a scathing report by Maclean’s magazine as one of the five worst hospitals in the country.

That is no longer the case.

“This really marks a era of a new beginning in critical care in the East Kootenays,” Jewett said. “Our staff and now our ICU are state of the art. This unit makes all that we do much safer and I have no doubt it makes us the envy of IH [Interior Health].

“We will no longer have problems recruit-ing doctors. Now that we have this, we’re full service. Lives will be saved.”

In his opening ad-dress to dignitaries, stakeholders, volun-teers and hospital staff, Bennett admitted that

the delivery of health care in the East Koote-nays is always a chal-lenge, specifically bringing up the closure of the Kimberley and Sparwood and their conversions into clinics many years ago.

Despite those chal-lenges, he touted the value and the access to health care services available at the EKRH.

“We should be really proud of what we have to offer people who need medical help today in this regional hospital,” Bennett said.

When ICU services move to the newly con-structed area in April, construction crews will get to work in the old existing ICU area, which will be converted into a new paediatric space, as it is adjacent to the maternity/neo-natal unit.

Letters to the editorPublic shaming

All professions need accountability and if there is a problem, it needs to be investi-gated and resolved. I would kindly suggest that public shaming by the Teacher Regu-lation Branch (TRB) and again in your paper does nothing to resolve an issue or put supports in place for a struggling teacher.

By the time an issue is resolved at the TRB, the teacher has often been dragged through a rigorous process at the local level and then again at the TRB. They have paid the consequences 10 times over by this time. Is it necessary to do the public stoning as well? I don’t think so. No other profession undergoes this shaming in such a public way. Why only teachers?

I am disappointed in the Townsman’s decision to print the article and further shame a local teacher. She has paid a very heavy price already.

Local action teamI am writing to celebrate the excellence

some local people.I want to congratulate the East Kootenay

Local Action Team of the Child & Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative, who made the video tapes of the workshops held here on Eating Disorders. These videos are now being shown around BC and they are helping many families understand and deal with eating disorders that threaten the lives of hundreds of loved ones. We all know of a family that has or is trying to deal with this terrible condition.

This small group of committed local citi-zens has distinguished themselves to the point that the Doctors of BC, a funding part-ner with the BC Government, contacted my office to say, “Hey Mr Bennett, did you know you have some local heroes who should be celebrated?” So I am pleased and grateful to say, “well done and thank you!”

A special thank you to Jill Bain, project lead for the East Kootenay teams that spear-headed the Eating Disorders work. If you want to view these exceptional video’s, go to http://sharedcarebc.ca/initiatives/CYMH-SU-Resources

good PeopleFor anyone who knew Deb Blais, I really

don’t need to say more. Deb, or Debbie, was ‘good people.’

I should note this is not an anniversary article tied to Deb’s birth, nor death. The timing in fact is not significant at all, except that it is finally about time I put some of my thoughts about Deb in writing. Deb would understand.

For those of you who did not know Deb-orah Blais, you likely know or knew some-one in your life who has had a similar effect on you as Deb Blais had on me. These are the people who spark joy in your life.

There has been a lot of attention paid recently to “tidying up” your life by only keeping things that spark joy in your life. The discussion revolves around a best-sell-ing book called Spark Joy and refers to physical items such as clothing or furni-ture, but I want to extend the discussion to include people who spark joy in your life. For me, Deb was one of those people.

“There’s only one place I’d rather be. Nowhere.” This became our mantra during the annual Kimberley ‘Snow Fiesta’ curling bonspiel. Deb and I seemed to be on the same wavelength when it came to curling and the Snow Fiesta. We simply loved to be there. It got to the point where I would just look at Deb while we were on the ice and say, “Deb?....” and she would say, “I know. Nowhere!”

Then, about three years ago, I read about a ’55 year old woman’ who drowned tragically in a pond at a local golf course. I was at work when I read the story, and stunned when I read the name. Deborah Marie Blais. What? Impossible. Deb is not 55! Deb is eight, and she is 12 and she is 32 and she could be 102! Deb is ageless. She can’t be dead.

Deb was taken from all of us too soon. Death is a reality of life as we know it, and it happens all the time. Of course Deb was ‘just a person.’ But when it comes down to the individuals who die and influence us every day, there is no such thing as ‘just a person.’ Especially not when it came to Deb. Deb sparked joy.

When I learned Deb had passed away there was first disbelief, then shock, then sadness. But before too long there was joy once again. Joy that I had known her. Joy that in this crazy world I was fortunate enough to be a small part of Deb’s world. Joy that I knew Deb for the amazing person she was. And joy in knowing that I will be a better person for the rest of my life for hav-ing known Deb Blais.

The bad news is, Deb is gone from this earth.

The good news is, Deb lives on in those of us who knew her, and there are more Debs out there in the world. Ok, there will never really be another Deb like Deb Blais, but there are other people all over the

world in every continent and every coun-try and in every religion and in every tucked away corner of this earth who pos-sess a similar spark of life; the ability to spark joy.

Whether you knew Deb or not, you most likely can think of someone like the Deb I am describing. And my hope is that everyone reading this will take a moment of their day – everyday – to pause for even a brief moment and remember the ‘Debs’ in your life. People who make you smile just by thinking of their name. People who spark joy in your life.

Deb – I love you and I miss you. I am a better person for knowing you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being you. You will always be with me and with all those who knew you.

For anyone who wishes to learn more about my dear friend and a soul mate, Ma-cLean’s magazine did a fine job summariz-ing Deb’s life. As quoted by her sister, “People were her food. She needed them as much as they needed her.” http://www.macleans.ca/society/deborah-ma-rie-blais/

Benefits for refugeesRecently I had to go to the dentist with a

bad tooth. Without any benefits, I had been putting this off for some time.

When it was mentioned that they hadn’t seen me for quite awhile, I explained that my wife and I were now retired on a limited income without any benefits, the com-ment to me was “it’s too bad you aren’t a Syrian refugee as you would have it all covered.”

It’s really hard to accept that two people living, working and paying taxes in this country their whole lives do not have the same benefits as those who are just getting here as refugees and have yet to contribute a dime to our society. This would never have happened with a Conservative gov-ernment.

For those that are still enamored with this new government of ours, I challenge you to justify this. You won’t, because there isn’t any justification for this travesty.

As a side note, I asked our MP Wayne Stetski to look into this about 6 weeks ago and have heard nothing from him. The only thing I heard is a political message from his assistant.

C anadian PressBritish Columbia’s contro-

versial helicopter hunt for wolves meant to save endan-gered caribou herds has shifted from the Kootenays to the northeast.

The Resource Operations Ministry said in a statement

Friday that the cull in the South Selkirk region ended recently, but it will not provide current wolf-kill figures until both hunts are complete.

The ministry said the aerial wolf hunt is now underway in the northeast’s South Peace re-gion, near Chetwynd.

Earlier this year, the govern-ment said it planned to shoot 200 wolves in the second year of its five-year plan to save en-dangered caribou herds.

The ministry rejects claims by B.C.’s Wildlife Defence League that all wolves in the South Selkirk area were killed

except one.The ministry says many

South Selkirk wolves have been radio-collared, and wolves with territory that isn’t in cari-bou habitat and are not posing a risk to caribou have not been removed.

Ice battle but come up winless on East Division swingKootenay Ice drop decisions to Regina Pats, Swift Current Broncos to round out three-game road trip

Taylor rocc aOn the heels of an

11-1 loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings, head coach Luke Pierce said his team didn’t work and they needed to do that Friday in Regina.

Despite falling 7-5 to the Regina Pats (27-23-3-4), the Kootenay Ice did just that, battling to the bitter end, coming up just short.

“It was night and day,” Pierce said Sunday after returning from Sas-katchewan. “It was like taking a peewee team Wednesday and then watching a real Western Hockey League team play on Friday.

“Considering the lineup we had, guys stepped up and filled in real well.”

Friday in Regina, the Ice went without for-wards Jesse Zaharichuk (illness), Max Patterson (undisclosed), Austin Wellsby (upper body) and Dylan Stewart (upper body).

Ultimately, it was a pair of Pats dealing the heaviest damage, as de-fenceman Connor Hobbs registered three goals and an assist while centre Adam Brooks potted two tallies and four helpers.

Meanwhile, home-town boy Zak Zborosky put forth a strong effort for the Ice, registering two goals and an assist of his own.

“He played with a ton of energy,” Pierce said of Zborosky. “It was his first time this year playing in front of lots of family and friends. He just had some extra jump, but for the most part, he did what we talked about all game, which was just making sure we were getting above pucks de-fensively and he created some offense from that.

“He was real respon-sible throughout the game… But we can’t keep relying on those guys [Zborosky and Matt Alfaro]. It played into Saturday.”

Friday proved a back-and-forth affair from start to finish.

Hobbs gave his team its first two-goal lead of the game 4:19 into the third period, sending his hat-trick marker past younger brother and Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs for a 6-4 Regina advantage.

Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky pulled his club back within one goal in the final minute of regulation before Pats

forward Austin Wagner sealed the outcome with an empty-net marker as time wound down.

Also providing of-fense for the visitors were Shane Allan and Noah Philp.

At the end of the night, the younger Hobbs made 31 saves between the pipes, while Tyler Brown turned aside 26 of 31 shots to backstop the Pats.

Saturday in Swift Current, the Ice man-aged to stake out a 2-1 lead through 40 minutes of play before burning out in the third period as the Broncos (21-30-4-3) registered three unan-swered goals to claim a 4-2 victory.

The game-winning goal came off the stick of Broncos forward Tyler Steenbergen on a play that appeared to be off-side at the Kootenay blueline.

The offside play went undetected by officials as Steenbergen collect-ed his 16th of the season to snap a 2-2 tie with 14:25 to go in regulation.

“The winning goal was a real tough one to take,” Pierce said. “It was pretty clearly offside, I think everyone in the arena saw it except the officials. In a 2-2 game that’s a real tough one to handle. But at the same time, the refs are going to make mistakes as we do. Unfortunately, we made too many of them in the third [period].”

Broncos forward

Glenn Gawdin scored with 35 seconds remain-ing in regulation to give the home team all the insurance it needed.

The Broncos opened the scoring on a bizarre play.

Affiliate defenceman Dom Schmiemann sent a long dump-in attempt from centre ice off the glass just inside the Ice blue line. As goaltender Wyatt Hoflin vacated the cage to play the puck, it ricocheted off a stan-chion and into the open net for Schmiemann’s first-career WHL goal.

Dallas Hines and Zak Zborosky combined to give the Ice a 2-1 lead through 40 minutes of play.

Hoflin was stellar once again, making 40 saves to give his team a shot Saturday evening.

At the other end, Broncos goaltender Taz Burman made 24 saves for the win.

Making their WHL debuts this weekend were twins Keenan and Kaeden Taphorn.

There was plenty to like from the 16-year-old prospects, who showed good instinct and drive in their first tastes of WHL hockey.

“There’s a lot to like. Both boys show some natural hockey sense that is beyond a lot of kids at their age,” Pierce said. “They did some things instinctively that we’ve been continuing to work on with our guys even to this point in the year. That’s really en-couraging.

“They were smart and simple and kept the game basic, which is ex-actly what we need from our group. They skate well, they had a couple chances Saturday and I think they’ve got a real bright future.”

Both Taphorn boys skated Friday and Satur-day, collecting no points over the weekend.

They have since been returned to the Yorkton AAA Maulers of the Sas-katchewan Midget Hockey League.

The Ice (10-44-5-0) return to Cranbrook to open a three-game home stand, beginning Wednesday (7 p.m.) when the Wheat Kings (37-17-2-2) visit West-ern Financial Place.

Captain Richter returns to lead Dynamiters to KIJHL crownAfter 17-game absence, Jason Richter returns from injury to score four goals in two games as Nitros claim league title

Nitros captain Jason Richter celebrates his second goal of the game Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. The Cranbrook native returned to the lineup after missing 17 games due to an upper-body injury.

Taylor rocc aJason Richter missed

17 games with an up-per-body injury, but if you watched him Friday night, you wouldn’t have known.

The Kimberley Dyna-miters captain returned to the lineup, leading his team to a decisive 8-0 victory over the Golden Rockets at the Kimberley Civic Centre before once again starring Saturday, guiding his club to a KIJHL crown-clinching 5-2 victory over the Fern-ie Ghostriders. 

“It was awesome, ob-viously I miss the game a whole lot,” Richter said with a smile following Friday’s win. “I forgot about how much fun it is being out there on the bench with the guys and hearing all the good support and positive that comes from our team. It was a great time.

“Every game we won, I didn’t have a problem with [sitting out]. But every game we lost, it definitely hurt me quite a bit more.”

It didn’t take long for the 5-foot-8 winger to find his groove. Only 2:47 had elapsed in the opening period before the Cranbrook native burned down the right wing, out skating a Golden defender before

sending a hot wrist shot past Rockets goaltender Owen Sikkes to give Kimberley a 1-0 lead. 

“His first shift shows what it’s all about and on his second shift he scores,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamit-ers, regarding his cap-tain. “His first shift, he ran two guys over. Our emphasis is you always need to finish your checks. So he led the way with that and set the tone for how it’s done. We’ve had trouble, when he’s been out, of getting the kids to buy into that. 

“He sets the tone for how we need to play and everybody picks it up. It was phenomenal to have him back.”

After Eric Buckley doubled the advantage, Keenan Haase made it 3-0 with his parents in the crowd, visiting from Mission Viejo, Calif.

Then Richter got back at it. 

Winning another foot race down the right side, the speedy captain spun and sent a behind-the-back pass to Tanner Wit who unleashed a booming slap shot past Sikkes for a 4-0 lead.

“He’s the key mem-ber of this team,” goal-tender Tyson Brouwer said of Richter. “I don’t

think I’ve ever seen or had a player impact a team as much as him. He got going 10 seconds into the game and I think it lifted the whole bench. 

“He is the heart and soul of this team and he will be come April.”

Wit registered his second goal of the night only 27 seconds into the middle period, beating the 17-year-old Sikkes to a loose puck before slid-ing it home.

Later in the period, Franco Colapaolo found open ice in front of the net and managed to put one more past Sikkes for a 6-0 Kimberley lead.

Mercifully, Rockets head coach Jason Ste-phens got out the hook, relieving Sikkes of his duties for the night with 8:21 remaining in the second period, sending in 17-year-old old Keyon Bittner to mop up. 

Korbyn Chabot ex-tended the advantage to 7-0 early in the third pe-riod before Richter fin-ished what he started, registering his second goal of the evening to bookend the 8-0 victory.

All but forgotten at the other end of the rink was Brouwer, who made 24 saves to collect his KIJHL-leading eighth shutout and 31st victory of the campaign.

With 66 wins to his credit (2013-14 to 2015-16), Brouwer becomes the winningest goalten-der in Dynamiters histo-ry, surpassing his prede-cessor, Jeremy Mous-seau. 

“It’s special, espe-cially wins, because you do it as a team,” Brouwer said. “It’s a personal stat, but to compile 66 wins over three years with a different group of guys every year, that’s some-thing special. I’m glad I was able to share all those wins with them. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.

“It’s kind of surreal and a little emotional. From my first year on, I’ve got nothing but fond memories with my billets, the coaching staff — everything is first-class here in Kim-

berley. It’s always sad when your season — es-pecially your 20-year-old season — comes to an end. But I’m looking forward to the future.”

Saturday, the Nitros laid claim to the KIJHL regular-season title, claiming a 5-2 victory over the Ghostriders at the Elk Valley Leisure Centre in Sparwood.

Richter was up to his old tricks once again as he scored the game-win-ning goal in the second period before icing the victory with an emp-ty-net tally in the third.

For Richter, a recent commit to the Universi-ty of Jamestown, his game-winning goal Sat-urday even goes into the books as the 200th point of his KIJHL career.

Over 180 career games (2011-12 to 2015-

16), Richter registered 104 goals and 201 points.

“He only knows one way — every practice, every game it’s 100 per cent,” Bancks said of Richter. “Of all the years I’ve been coaching… his work ethic is phenome-nal. He has the heart of an Olympian, in my opinion. 

“His effort is unbe-lievable. It never wavers. This is my fifth or sixth year with [Richter] and I’ve never seen him not go 100 per cent… Every-body in this whole com-munity and town have benefitted from him.”

Mitch Traichevich earned the win in net, turning aside 31 Fernie shots, while Jeff Orser stopped 28 of 32 shots for the Ghostriders. 

In 2016-17, Richter will head to the upstart University of Jamestown Jimmies ACHA Div. I hockey program, along-side Brouwer, Buckley and defenceman Justin Meier.

“I’m pumped up, I’ve gained such a bond with

those guys that it was a pretty easy choice to de-cide to go there with them,” Richter said. 

“I didn’t hesitate at all.”

The triumph sent the Dynamiters to a KI-JHL-best regular season record of 41-7-0-4 (86 points) giving Kimber-ley home-ice advantage throughout the 2016 post-season.

The Osoyoos Coy-otes (40-9-1-1, 82 points) wrap up the reg-ular season Sunday eve-ning and will finish sec-ond in the race for the league crown.

With the Columbia Valley Rockies (30-22-0-0) defeating the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (33-15-2-2) Saturday night, all of this com-bines to make for a first-round playoff matchup between the Dynamit-ers and Ghostriders.

Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Division semifinal is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23 (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Confusion marks this day, along with very different points of view. A good place for you to be is where controversy exists. Seeds of better ideas often come from working with these differ-ences. Try to understand where others are coming from. Tonight: Keep the discussion going. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Full Moon today promises many changes and possibilities. You might wonder which way you should go, as you are on the verge of making a long-term dream a reality. A new friend could be distracting. Tonight: Let go of what seems irritating. Go for what you desire most. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be viewed as a bit of a stick in the mud. Yes, you! You can’t seem to veer from your position, even though someone presents an inspired idea. You might feel as if there are no answers that would please ev-eryone. At least make an effort. Tonight: Homeward bound.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to a loved one at a distance who often presents a different point of view. Good news surrounds this person. You might feel as if there are no answers that work for you so far. Be open to working with several different approaches. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of what is going on with an emotional issue that seems to play a significant role in your well-being. You could feel as if logic and levelheaded-ness are on your side. A friend might be so idealistic that you worry about his or her choices. Tonight: Run some errands first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Despite some adversity and differences of opinion, you seem impervious to the ups and downs of the moment. You feel very secure and on-target right now. Your energy is at its peak, and you won’t mind a lively discussion about any matter. To-night: Beam in what you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be more in touch

with others and their differing opinions. How you handle a personal matter could be less successful today than how you would approach it in a few days. If you’re feeling unsure of your-self, play the waiting game. To-night: Take some personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your eye on the big picture as well as on a long-term goal. You could be distracted by a child or loved one, but pleasant-ly so. You might have some diffi-culty balancing all the different interests that pop up today. To-night: Ask, and expect to receive what you want! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to have a dis-cussion with an associate who seems a bit overloaded. You can identify with this person, but you have chosen to prioritize your life differently, and there-fore can absorb and disseminate information with greater ease. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How you handle a personal matter could change with more perspective and empathy. You

might be working on a more intuitive level that could distract you from logic and details. You’ll need to carefully weigh the in-formation you receive. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a partner directly, and listen to his or her logic. Your impression of this person’s message could be substantially different from what you are actually hearing. Some of the information you hear might not be grounded. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to others, and listen to what they have to say. It appears as if no matter how attentive you try to be, your mind drifts to other topics or selects only part of what you are hearing to work with. You might want to figure out what is distracting you. To-night: Say “yes” to an offer. BORN TODAY Former U.S. President George Washington (1732), actress Drew Barrymore (1975), singer/songwriter James Blunt (1974) ***

Dear Annie: I am hoping to retire in six years. I have been investing some money through my job and have accumulated a comfortable amount. My wife had a similar fund at her job, but took the money out a few years ago. She says she doesn’t know where she spent it, but I’m pretty sure it went to her daughter (from another marriage), the same place the rest of her money goes. We have our own checking accounts, because I was tired of being broke all the time. When I retire, I would like to move to North Carolina. I know that my wife will never leave her grandchildren. I can’t take money out of my retirement account without her signature and I have no idea how she managed to empty her account without my signature, but she did. Can you give me some advice before the time comes? -- Soon to Retire in Florida Dear Florida: We aren’t sure what you are asking. You already know that your wife is not going to abandon her daughter and the grandchildren. So, it seems you are willing to leave her, but you are concerned that she won’t release the money from your retirement account. If she gained access to either retirement account without authorization, talk to someone at your bank or to a lawyer. But ask yourself whether moving to North Carolina is more important than your marriage. And if you divorce her, would the money in your retirement account be split anyway? Is there room for compromise? Please tell your wife what your wishes are regarding your retirement and ask for her input. Would she be willing to come to North Carolina part of the time? If so, would that be a tolerable arrangement? You seem to have a less-than-loving relationship that you can work on if you choose. A lot can happen in six years. Dear Annie: You printed several responses to the letter from “Please Leave Animals at Home,” about service animals in public places. I work in a clinic and am well-aware that there are service dogs and other types of therapy animals out there. Service animals have their place. However, let me point out that a “service vest” can be ordered online (as can a doctor’s note), and that there are many people who just want to bring their pets everywhere, regardless of whether it is healthy for others. We are told not to ask whether the animal is a service animal for fear of offending the patient and being accused of discriminating against those with disabilities. Having an untrained animal in the clinic is not healthy or sanitary. Many of our patients come in with real medical problems, and are then subjected to a waiting room with an animal circus. The trained service animals that come into our clinic are welcome. I wish the others would be kept at home. -- Train Your Animals Dear Train: Service animals are trained and acceptable (and legal) everywhere. The problem is untrained comfort animals, still a gray area. Who gets precedence -- the person claiming an emotional disability requiring a comfort animal or his neighbor in the condo with a serious traumatic aversion to dogs? Or a child with a life-threatening allergy? We don’t have the answers and right now, it seems no one else does, either.

Steve HubrecHtColumbia Valley Pioneer

The debate about the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort has been so long-running that the topic has become fodder for academic study, and local residents will get a chance to hear about it firsthand when a Univer-sity of Victoria professor who completed his doc-toral dissertation on the controversy visits the East Kootenay next week to give a presentation on the issue.

Cam Owens’ areas of research include land use conflict and decision making processes, and sustainable develop-ment. The 25-year old Jumbo debate made the ideal sole case study for his PhD, which exam-ined B.C.’s environmen-tal assessment process, on which he worked from 2006 to 2011. Mr. Owens — the only per-son in province with what could be called a degree in Jumbo — will be in Cranbrook on Tuesday, February 23rd as the keynote speaker for the Columbia Moun-tains Institute of Applied Ecology’s environmental and social assessment forum.

“I wanted to under-stand what had con-founded the review (pro-cess for the proposed re-sort) so as to drag on over a couple decades and gain a multi-per-spectival understanding of the controversy sur-rounding the proposal,”

he told The Pioneer, adding that, as part of his research, he spent a summer in Invermere interviewing key players in the Jumbo debate (both supporters and opponents), as well as another summer in Vic-toria interviewing gov-ernment officials in-volved with the environ-mental assessment pro-cess.

The list of interview-ees — nearly 40 in total — reads like a who’s who of Jumbo, and includes Grant Costello, Oberto Oberti, Kathryn Teneese, Gerry Taft, Greg Deck, Alan Artibise, Psyche Brown, Bob Campsall, Arnor Larson, Jim Gallo-way, Dee Conklin, Ray Crook, Dean Martin, Ro-wena Eloise, Cam Gillies, Meredith Hamstead, Norm MacDonald, Christy Madson (Roger Madson’s daughter), Al Miller, Pat Morrow, David Pacey, Dave Quinn and Nolan Rad, among many others.

In his dissertation, Mr. Owens examines how the conflict can be described as competing representations of eight different models of jus-tice — spatial; market; industrial (technical-ra-tional planning); civic (equality, access and sol-idarity); domestic (tradi-tion and locality); inspi-rational; renown (fame and public opinion); and green.

Mr. Owens devotes ample space in his dis-sertation to the perspec-tives of both resort sup-porters and opponents, which he told The Pio-neer is more than just attempting to achieve a balanced approach as an academic, saying “I have a strong conservation ethic and fairly progres-sive political views, but also grew up in Calgary with a conservative dad and studied with some pretty conservative pro-fessors through Univer-sity of Calgary political science, and thus I pride myself on empathizing with multiple perspec-tives.”

This balanced ap-proach is in some ways similar to what was at-tempted with Sweet-grass’ Jumbo Wild docu-mentary, which will be screened at the forum prior to Mr. Owens’ speech.

“In the movie, Nick Wagoner, the director, positions the mountain as a mirror reflecting back the different values, assumptions and stories of those looking upon it. In my talk, I want to build on this, using my re-search around the Jumbo review to explore the different ways people have come to imagine this place — the Jumbo Valley or Qat’muk — and what they think should be done there,” he said. “I will use a number of stories from the years of struggle around the Jumbo review, in the end hoping to make this point that environmen-tal assessment is ines-capably political — it is not a science, it is based on values, assumptions etc. — and that we need to acknowledge this and ensure that it is an effec-tive forum for fair, inclu-sive and constructive deliberation.”

Another similarity between Mr. Owens’ dis-sertation and the Jumbo Wild film is that, while both seek and showcase viewpoints from sup-porters and opponents, the creators of both ulti-mately leave their proj-ect with the personal opinion that the planned resort should not go ahead.

Although Mr. Owens doesn’t offer this opin-ion in his concluding “Reflections” section of the dissertation, he says in the “Epilogue” that he thinks Jumbo should not be approved: “given the scale of local opposition, which I take to be di-verse and well-in-formed.”

He points out that First Nations opinion on the project is divided (with the Shuswap Indi-an Band supportive of it, and the Ktunaxa op-posed), but adds “I be-lieve the Ktunaxa’s claim to this land and the rec-ognition of its sacred-ness needs to be met af-firmatively with humility and respect.”

The forum in Cran-brook requires registra-tion, but the film screen-ing and keynote speech — both held at the Cran-brook College of the Rockies campus — are open to the public, with tickets available for a small fee and the door opening at 6:30 p.m.
