TREVOR CRAWLEYCranbrook city coun-

cil got an earful from concerned residents concerned about the proposed rezoning of two parcels of property near the Mount Royal neighbourhood at a public hearing on Mon-day night.

The properties, which are on either side of Eagleridge Crescent adjacent to 30th Avenue North, are currently zoned at R1 - Single Family Extended Resi-dent, however, the prop-erty owner is appealing to council to rezone the classification to R2 - Three and Four Family Residential Zone.

Neighbouring home-owners, who came out in droves with standing room only in council chambers, took turns

City Council gets earful

on proposed zoning change

“We’ve been around Cranbrook a long

time, we’re not out here to step on

anyone’s toes. I guess I’m still old-school

— a man’s word … but lots of people

don’t buy that.” Wayne Ostash

making their submis-sion to council — uni-versally arguing against the proposed rezoning.

Karen Churchill, who lives in the area, said she consulted with her neighbours and wrote a letter to the city, which she read in front of council.

Churchill wrote that

she is strongly opposed to the proposed rezon-ing, noting that the po-tential construction of duplexes, triplex or a four-plex will depreciate nearby property values, be an eyesore and at-tract low-income and “certain types of people.”

Gerry Vanhooren, president of the North-wood Estates strata council — a gated com-munity that abuts the south side of one of the properties — argued his concerns about neigh-bourhood compatibility

“I noticed in some submissions or some re-ports that, on the recom-mendation side from staff, that compatibility with the neighbourhood was not addressed at all,” Vanhooren said.

T R E VO R C R AW L E YChef Graham Barnes

is off to the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge final.

Barnes, representing Max’s Place, came out on top of the first semifi-nal matchup against Chef Lindsay Waugh of Hot Shots Cafe on Tues-day as the first clash be-tween four semifinalists went down at the Salva-tion Army soup kitchen.

Both ended up cre-

ating a turkey vegetable soup, however, Barnes opted to toss in some rice while Waugh de-cided to add some pasta.

In the end, it was Barnes’ 22 years of culi-nary experience that helped propel him to a 24-19 victory as voted by the Salvation Army clientele. Barnes’ oppo-nent, Waugh, gave him a good challenge, as she has been creating soups

with Hot Shots Cafe for close to three years and is a first-year student in the Culinary Arts pro-gram at the College of the Rockies.

With the conclusion of the opening round, the semifinals did not include the twist of chefs presenting a mys-tery ingredient that the opposing chef had to use in their soup.

Barry CoulterA significant change

in the way lawyers in B.C. are being regulated in underway. Law Soci-ety of British Colum-bia’s Law Firm Regula-tion Task Force is hold-ing focus groups with lawyers around the province, and that pro-cess came to Cranbrook on Tuesday, Feb. 23.

Herman Vann Ommen, first vice-pres-ident and task force chair was meeting with interested parties, law-yers and the law firms they represent, to dis-cuss coming law-firm regulation, something new not just for B.C. and Canada, but even for other countries.

Vann Ommen spoke to the Townsman to dis-cuss what these coming changes entail for the legal profession. He said that historically, legal ethics were cen-tred on individual law-yers.

“An individual law-yer has a duty not to act in conflict, they have duties to maintain con-fidentiality — all our

duties were expressed in terms of the individu-al,” Vann Ommen said. “And that’s true of legal professions around the world.

Vann Ommen said that these days, lawyers predominantly practice in firms. “Firms, we know now, are actually responsible for certain conduct,” he said. “For example, a law firm’s advertising is decided by the firm, not the indi-vidual. When a lawyer in a case acts on a con-flict, usually it’s a com-mittee of the firm that’s made the decision that it’s okay. And so it be-comes inappropriate to discipline only the indi-vidual.

“We would still keep the individual duties, but what we will be say-ing is that firms are also going to be responsible for the behaviour they control. So that’s a way of getting at real actors.”

The same regula-tions still apply to indi-vidual lawyers. In a background paper on the subject, published these week on the legal

website slaw.ca, Vann Ommen wrote that ex-panding the regulatory net to include firms is expected to actually lighten the regulatory burden on individual lawyers by shifting a de-gree of responsibility to firms.

It’s only recently that steps have been taken to apply regulatory measures to firms as well as individual law-yers.

“Certainly the time is due,” Vann Ommen said. “Australia made moves in this direction a decade ago, England maybe five years ago. It’s tied up with a bunch of other changes there, but

this is certainly an as-pect of the changes in those two countries. We always keep an eye on what’s going on around the world. And this has been a subject of com-ment by academics and people who are interest-ed in regulating lawyers.

“It’s happening com-pletely by circumstance that all the provinces from Nova Scotia west are engaged in the same exercise of looking at and proposing to regu-late firms as well as in-dividuals.”

Vann Ommen’s task force’s job is to propose a framework to put the regulations in place.

“After the consulta-tion is finished my com-mittee will put together a report recommending a framework. That will go to the benchers in June, maybe as late as September, and the benchers will then have to adopt it, or not (the Law Society’s Board of Directors are know as benchers). And then we’ll have to draft the precise rules.”

Moving forward, in

other words, law firms are going to be respon-sible for the behaviour they hold.

“Every firm has a culture — the way the lawyers act,” Vann Ommen said. “Firms af-fect their lawyers’ be-haviour, so we’re going to say to the firms you need to have policies and procedures in place to make sure your law-yers act in the highest standards.

“So if a lawyer, for ex-ample, has a series of complaints from clients about rudeness, or not returning calls, in addi-tion to talking to that lawyer, we will call up the firm and say, ‘Okay, what’s going on, be-cause this is something you should be interest-ed in, and what are you going to do to make sure that lawyer in par-ticular smartens up, and in general, how is this happening in your firm?’”

“So we want firms to be part of the solution in terms of reducing cli-ent complaints about lawyers.”

Local ‘CHAMP’ benefits from key tag service

Courtesy leah C ameronAs The War Amps

2016 Key Tags are mailed to B.C. residents, the service marks 70 years of returning lost keys to their owners. Donations to the Key Tag Service assist mem-bers of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, in-cluding Nicole Byford, 17, of Cranbrook.

Nicole was born a partial left hand ampu-tee and has received fi-nancial assistance for the cost of recreational devices. Growing up, she has also attended regional CHAMP semi-nars where Champs and parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child.

“I was recently fitted with a multi-use artifi-

cial hand that can be used for holding the pole in cross-country skiing. I can also use the device for mountain biking in the summer. CHAMP has allowed me to do whatever I set my

mind to and know that the sky is the limit,” said Nicole.

Nicole’s mom, Jackie, says, “We are so grateful to CHAMP and all the people who support this amazing program which

allows our children to participate more fully in all activities. We cannot imagine our lives, or Ni-cole’s, without CHAMP.”

The War Amps Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that

returning war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys.

Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier.

The War Amps re-ceives no government grants and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.

“I think that’s one of the most important things, is how compati-ble are the structures that you anticipate in relation to whats al-ready there, especially when there are 300-plus already built, and we’re talking about two small parcels of land,” Van-hooren said.

Wayne Ostash, the owner of the two sub-ject properties who is applying for the zoning change, said he has no intention of putting du-plexes or triplexes around the Northwood Estate community.

However, he added that there are existing duplexes around Ea-gleridge Crescent, and if any duplex or triplex structures were going anywhere, it’d be in proximity to the existing ones.

“Nothing is going to be two storeys high,” Ostash said. “You can tell along right behind the Quad ball field, they’ve done a beautiful job some of the duplex-es and three-plexes there, and they’re quite attractive.

“That’s what we’re hoping to achieve.”

Ostash sympathized with the homeowners of Northwood Estates.

“I wouldn’t want a bunch of great big four-plexes and duplex-es behind my house ei-ther,” Ostash said. “Keep it simple, keep it low, and the property, the way it develops, the road is probably going to be a bit lower than what the houses are. You’re going to have a house sitting up a wee bit.

“And that’s where we’re at with that.”

Upon questioning from Councillor Ron Popoff, Ostash added that the rezoning appli-

cation isn’t a license for him to pursue building whatever structures he wants; the application to R2 zoning is just an-other option in the de-velopment toolkit.

“We’ve been around Cranbrook a long time, we’re not out here to step on anyone’s toes,” said Ostash. “… I guess I’m still old-school — a man’s word — but lots of people don’t buy that.

“You’re right. [The] zoning will give us the capabilities to do all those things, but it’s not our intention.”

Following the public hearing, City Council brought up the issue in their regular meeting, where it was promptly voted down.

While council op-posed the rezoning of the two properties, the issue of affordable housing was raised by Councillor Danielle Cardozo.

“I do hope that this community will take a strong look at what du-plexes have started to become in communi-ties like ours, where housing prices have be-come higher,” Cardozo said.

“I will say, that when statements are made that it’s a ‘certain type of person’ that buys into these — my first home was a duplex. That was my house, and I tell you, the description of peo-ple who own these houses or could own these houses — I didn’t fit that description.”

Cardozo said she would support the zon-ing change if it came back to council with covenants that the structures were only duplexes and own-er-occupied, not rental properties.

The exclusion of the mys-tery ingredient helped the chefs focus more on their soups without worrying about how to handle the curveball of an unanticipated item, such as, say chocolate pudding or a pecan pie.

“It was a little less stress-ful,” said Barnes.

Despite no mystery ingre-dient, Waugh said she was tried not to make a plan and

make it up as she went along, according to what ingredients she could find in the Salvation Army pantries.

“I tried to prepare last time, but nothing I thought of was actually here, so I didn’t pre-pare anything—I had no idea what I was going to do,” she said.

Barnes had spied some turkey last time he was in the kitchen that he wanted to use.

“I saw turkey last time I was here and I was hoping it was still here, and it was,” he said.

Barnes heads to the final event at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, where he will face the winner of the sec-ond semifinal on Friday be-tween Chef Rusty Cox of The Heidout Restaurant and Bre-whouse and Carmen Alaric, the resident chef of the Salva-tion Army soup kitchen.

Tickets for the final event,

which will be held on Wednes-day, March 2, can be pur-chased at Max’s Place, by call-ing the Cranbrook and Dis-trict Community Foundation at 250-426-1119 or online through Snapd East Kootenay.

The stone soup challenge is a joint fundraiser shared between the Salvation Army’s proposed 24/7 homeless shel-ter and the CDCF general en-dowment fund.

C anadian PressCalgary city council has re-

visited the debate over fluo-ride in the public water sup-ply after it was removed in 2011.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi says people should petition for a plebiscite in the 2017 munici-pal election on the issue of putting fluoride back into the water.

He says if there was a peti-tion on the front counter of every dentist’s office, he sus-pects enough signatures could be gathered pretty quickly.

A study published in the journal Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology earlier this month showed that since the fluoride was removed, there has been a worsening of

tooth decay in children in Cal-gary.

The study’s researchers say tooth decay is the most com-mon infectious disease in children, leading to pain, ex-pensive treatments and some-times surgery.

Nenshi says he would vote in favour of putting fluoride back into the water, though not everyone agrees.

“To me the detriment ex-ceeded the benefit and so I didn’t think it was appropri-ate for us to mass medicate the population,” said council-lor Andre Chabot.

In Cranbrook in the No-vember, 2014, municipal elec-tion, the majority of the elec-torate voted to keep fluoride in the municipal water sup-ply.

government says the num-ber of international visitors to the province is increasing and France is in the top spot

on a list of seven countries and regions.

It says tourism to B.C. from France jumped by 33 per cent in 2014 compared to the previous year.

It says there was a 15.5 per cent hike in tourists from Japan, which placed second, while Europe was at the bot-tom of the list, with 3.8 per cent more visitors.

Almost 360,000 more in-ternational visitors came to the province in 2015, with the total number approach-ing five million people.

The ministry is crediting

its marketing strategy, along with the province’s aborigi-nal tourism sector and more direct flights to B.C. for the jump in visitors from outside Canada.

It says B.C.’s tourism sec-tor is growing despite fierce global competition for tour-ists and that the industry generated $14.6 billion in revenue in 2014.

W hat would you call a country that called for “a structure under which [Europe] can

dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom... a kind of United States of Europe” at the end of the Second World War (Winston Churchill, 1946), but refused to join that structure when its European neighbours actually began building it (European Eco-nomic Comunity, 1957)?

What would you call that country if it changed its mind and asked to join the EEC in 1961, a goal it finally achieved in 1973 under Conservative prime minis-ter Edward Heath – only to demand a renegotiation of its terms of membership and hold an In/Out refer-endum on EEC membership under a La-bour government two years later?

What would you say if that country then demanded another renegotiation of the terms of membership under Conser-vative prime minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984, and insisted on opting out of the planned single currency when the coun-tries of the European Community (as it now styled itself ) signed the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992?

And what would you say about that country’s behaviour if another Conserva-tive prime minister, David Cameron, de-manded ANOTHER renegotiation on the terms of membership in what is now called the European Union in 2013, and promised ANOTHER referendum once the results were known?

The word “ambivalent” would certain-ly spring to mind. “Capricious” also has a strong claim to be the right word. But the adjective that really sums up Britain’s behaviour in its 70-year love-hate rela-tionship with the European project is “petulant”.

There’s going to be another referen-dum on whether the United Kingdom should stay in the European Union on 23 June. Not that Prime Minister Cameron

wants to leave the EU, of course. His 2013 promise of a referendum was mainly an attempt to steal votes from the United Kingdom Independence Party, which did indeed want to leave, in the 2015 elec-tion.

But Cameron couldn’t walk away from his promise after he won the election, because half of his own party wants to leave the European Union. Jeremy Cor-byn, the new leader of the Labour Party,

is at best lukewarm about the the EU, viewing it es-sentially as a capitalist plot that has some posi-tive side-effects. And re-cent opinion polls suggest that the referendum could go either way.

These are not the best of times for the EU. It has not responded well to the wave of mostly Midde Eastern refugees that began rolling across its frontiers early last year. It is suffering from chronic low growth and high unem-ployment (although the United Kingdom itself is doing quite well on both fronts). It is becoming clear that the adoption of the euro common currency by nineteen EU countries was a major mistake.

There is therefore a lot of disillusion-ment about the EU even among its core members on the European mainland, and some people fear that “Brexit” (a British exit from the Union) would start to unravel all the other deals and com-promises that went into the construction of this historically unlikely structure. But why are the British always the most disaf-fected ones?

All the countries on the west coast of Europe lost their overseas empires in the decades after the Second World War, and Britain is not the only one to cling to de-lusions of grandeur in the aftermath. France, too, has a highly inflated view of its own importance. But the French un-derstand the cost of European disunity much better than the British, because they paid a higher price.

It has to do with the fact that Britain is an island. Almost every other European country except Switzerland and Sweden has seen serious fighting on its own soil in the past hundred years. Many of them have seen it several times, and about half of them have been partly or wholly occu-pied by foreign troops for long periods. Whereas Britain has not been successful-ly invaded for almost a thousand years.

Britain is not alone in seeing the follies of the EU bureaucracy and resenting the cost of the compromises that have to be made to keep the enterprise alive. It IS alone, or almost alone, in seeing Europe-an unity purely as an optional project, to be reassessed from time to time by calcu-lating its economic benefits and weigh-ing them against its political and emo-tional costs for Britain.

EMOTIONAL costs? Yes, and this is where the petulance comes from. There is a fantasy, still quite prevalent in En-gland, that the country could have a much more satisfying future as a fully in-dependent player, unshackled from the dull and stodgy European Union and liv-ing by its wits as a swashbuckling global trader. To which one can only say: Good luck with that.

This romantic vision is not shared by the Scots, who would certainly break away if English votes took the United Kingdom out of the EU. But an indepen-dent Scotland might find it hard to claim EU membership after the divorce, as Ma-drid would not want to establish a prece-dent that Catalonian separatists could use to argue that breaking away from Spain would be painless.

Most British leaders have worked hard to manage the inflated expectations of English super-patriots and keep the country more or less on track. Cameron has dropped the ball, and the conse-quences for both Britain and Europe may be quite serious.

TAYLOR ROCC AIt didn’t take long for

the Kimberley Dynamit-ers and Fernie Ghostrid-ers to renew a longstand-ing, fierce playoff rivalry.

In Game 1 of the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion semifinal, it was the Kimberley Dynamiters coming out on top, knocking around the Fernie Ghostriders — both in the corners and on the scoreboard — en route to a 6-0 victory at the Kimberley Civic Centre Tuesday evening.

“We worked pretty hard the last couple days trying to establish roles that every player was going to fulfill and make sure we celebrate the role, sometimes as sim-ple as a fourth-line cycle of the puck down low and keeping the puck in their end and tiring out a top ‘D’ pair,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamit-ers, following Tuesday’s Game 1 win. “I thought we did a really good job of playing our roles.”

While the home team fulfilled its roles and brought its work boots to the rink, the same could not be said for the visit-ing Ghostriders, who were outshot 40-23 by the end of the night.

“The first period was good and then in the second period we got away from what we do well, which is finishing checks and creating stuff,” said Craig Mohr, head coach and general manager of the Fernie Ghostriders. “[The Dy-namiters] did it. You’ve got to credit that team. They came out in the second and third period and they took it to us. Let’s not sugarcoat it. Our guys are strong enough that they know we got thumped in those last two periods.

“The nice thing about a playoff series is it’s one game.”

Hometown boy Jared Marchi got Game 1 headed in the right di-rection for the Dynamit-ers, redirecting a Keenan Haase point shot on the power play to give Kim-berley a 1-0 lead 12:29 into the first period.

“It’s super important in Game 1 to come out and set a good physical tone and let them know

we’re not going to be pushed around at all,” Marchi said Tuesday. “We’re really going to show them what the se-ries is going to be all about.

“You know every shift you step on the ice you’re going to war against the guy that comes out against you on the faceoff. You’ve got to be mentally fo-cused, prepared and willing to do anything to outwork that guy.”

By the end of the night, Marchi helped lead the way, registering two goals and an assist — including the game-winning marker — while goaltender Tyson Brouwer, who was named Eddie Mountain Division Goaltender of the Year prior to the game, pitched a 23-save shutout for the victory between the pipes .

“With the series shift-ing to Fernie [for Game 2], it’s important that we get the wins at home,” Brouwer said Tuesday. “It was good to take care of the win here at home first and now we’ll go to work [Wednesday].”

Outside of Marchi’s tally, the opening 20 minutes were calm, cool, collected and tightly contested.

When the second pe-riod rolled around, the ice tilted heavily in fa-vour of the home team and there was little bal-ance from there on.

Eric Buckley parked himself on the doorstep of Jeff Orser’s crease, banging a rebound past the Ghostriders goalten-der only 3:22 into the middle period to double the advantage for the Dynamiters.

Then the bodies started flying.

First, Fernie forward Nolan Lagace took a run at Jordan Busch in Kim-berley territory, flatten-ing the Edmonton native into the corner boards. As Lagace popped up, in stormed Nitros captain Jason Richter to level the native of Fort St. John and even the exchange.

Unfortunately for the Ghostriders, the ex-change wasn’t quite as even on the score sheet as Lagace was handed a two-minute minor and game misconduct for

checking from behind, while Richter received a two-minute minor for charging.

After Keagan Kin-gwell was tagged with a hooking minor, Korbyn Chabot redirected a Trey Doell point shot to give the Dynamiters a commanding 3-0 ad-vantage with 7:33 re-maining in the second.

Less than a minute later, Richter delivered the knockout punch, chipping a rebound past Orser for a 4-0 Kimber-ley lead.

Mohr immediately called timeout and sent Brandon Butler on in re-lief of Orser between the pipes.

“The goalies did their jobs tonight,” Mohr said. “There could have been a few more [goals] with-out them. There’s no issue there. I thought they both did a very good job tonight.

“Pulling Jeff [Orser] when we did was more he’s getting shelled back there, we’re not as coaches going to let him hang out to dry.

“We’re going to look at it and see where we go forward with the goal-tending situation. But it’s a nice one we have be-cause they’re both play-ing well right now.”

Orser had made 18 saves on 22 shots when he was removed from the game, including a couple showstoppers in the first period, stoning Sawyer Hunt and Buck-ley to keep his team within one.

Butler came on and was solid early as well, particularly to start the third period as the Dyna-miters kept the Ghostrid-ers on their heels.

Eventually, the slip-pery Buckley found some open ice in the slot, taking a beautiful pass from Devon Lange-laar and sending it past Butler for a 5-0 Kimber-ley lead.

Marchi rounded out the scoring by sending an howitzer from the point past Butler on the man advantage late in the proceedings.

Butler, the 5-foot-8 native of Calgary, had made 16 saves on 18 shots when the final buzzer sounded.

At the other end of

the rink, Brouwer’s night was relatively quiet, though he showed in the second period why he was named the division’s goaltender of the year.

With Ghostriders for-ward Zach Befus bearing down, Brouwer stood tall and flashed the leather to make a critical glove save, preserving his team’s 2-0 lead.

The rough-and-tum-ble game saw plenty of special teams action, with the Dynamiters converting on 3-of-3 power-play chances. At the other end, the Ghostriders came up empty on seven pow-er-play opportunities.

There’s no breathing room for either team, as the Dynamiters and Ghostriders will get right back to it Wednesday evening with Game 2 slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Fernie Memorial Arena.

“For us, it’s a smaller ice surface [in Fernie]. We’ve got to get pucks in deep on them,” Mohr said looking ahead to Game 2. “We’ve got to pin them down with our forecheck. If you don’t, with that offensive group they have, if you just let them break out and hit your blueline clean with speed, they’re danger-ous. They’re good hock-ey players. The best way

to combat that is to make them play in their own zone.

“The nice thing about playoffs is tomorrow’s a new day. We’ve got to look at it that way. We can’t look at yesterday. We’ve got to look ahead… Tomorrow is the big test. We’re going back to our house. We’ve got to win in our house.”

For Bancks and the Dynamiters, the goal is to maintain momentum heading into Game 2 and not allow Mohr’s

Ghostriders any oppor-tunity to get life at home.

“Nothing is going to change,” Bancks said. “Things happen a little quicker in their rink. You have to move the puck quicker on the power play. It’s going to be more physical in tighter space. You just have to take care of business. I’m looking forward to it.”

Following Wednes-day’s Game 2 in Fernie, the series shifts back to the Kimberley Civic Centre Friday night (7

p.m.) for Game 3.Notes: Eddie Moun-

tain Division vice-presi-dent Phil Iddon was on hand prior to Game 1, presenting a league ban-ner to commemorate the Dynamiters’ Eddie Mountain Division title and KIJHL regular-sea-son crown… Iddon also presented Brouwer with his award as the divi-sion’s goaltender of the year, while Jordan Busch was also named Eddie Mountain Division De-fenceman of the Year…

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor

The harsh reality has been a long time com-ing, but the Kootenay Ice were officially and mathematically elimi-nated from the Western Hockey League playoff race this past weekend.

It’s a tough reality for players and coaches to face, but one that has been on the horizon. It might be even tougher for fans to swallow, con-sidering 2016 will mark the first time in 18 sea-sons the franchise has failed to qualify for the WHL post-season.

“Guys have under-stood for a little while here now that playoffs weren’t really realistic and have had to find dif-ferent ways to stay moti-vated,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Koo-tenay Ice, Tuesday after-noon prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “For the most part, with the exception of a cou-ple blips here and there, I think we’ve done a pretty good job of being consistent in our effort level. That is going to continue to be a real big focus — continuing to work to be better.

“Let’s be honest — there’s no question there will be changes here going into next year. Do you want to be on the right side or the wrong side of those changes? It’s certainly not a threat, it’s just real-ity. You can’t finish the way we have and not ex-pect changes. I think there’s plenty of motiva-tion that way for indi-vidual guys.”

With 13 games re-maining in the 2015-16 WHL campaign for the

Kootenay Ice (10-44-5-0), the Brandon Wheat Kings (37-18-3-2) pres-ent the next opponent when they pay a visit to Western Financial Place Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Fans don’t have to look far to find a pair of players putting in con-sistent efforts and key contributions for coach Pierce on a nightly basis.

Linemates Matt Alfa-ro and Zak Zborosky have progressed togeth-er over the years, both beginning their junior careers with the Ice in 2013-14. After playing second fiddle to the likes of Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau, Luke Philp and Tim Bozon, 2015-16 has been the year for Alfaro and Zborosky to step into the spotlight and take on more responsi-bility.

“There’s been a tre-mendous amount [of growth],” Pierce said of Alfaro and Zborosky. “There’s a lot that gets lost in what’s been a dif-ficult season. But you get some time to reflect on some things and cer-

tainly the play of those two has been a real bright spot.

“There’s been nights where we’ve wanted a lot more from them and continue to push expec-tations. That’s some-thing they’ve grown to appreciate a little more. Early on when we had really high expectations, they maybe thought they were unfounded and wanted to stay kind of in the shadows a little bit.

“But they’ve been thrust into it and since Christmas, I think they’ve really embraced it and done a much bet-ter job. It’s impressive for those guys to be point-a-game players without a lot of offensive help.”

With 11 points in his past five games, Zbo-rosky (3-8-11) continues to build upon a career year. The 19-year-old Regina native has regis-tered 24 goals, 29 assists and 53 points through 46 games — all new ca-reer highs.

“He knows where to be on the ice, he’s got a

great shot and he knows when to use it,” Alfaro said of his linemate Zborosky. “He’s also a great passer. That’s an underrated part of his game.

“We work well to-gether and I can find him for one-timers and he knows how to finish.”

With six points in his past four games, Alfaro (1-5-6) is clicking along efficiently himself. The 19-year-old Calgary na-tive has tallied 17 goals, 22 assists and 39 points through 58 games — all new career highs as well.

“The biggest thing is confidence, you can tell that he’s very confident on the ice in his abili-ties,” Zborosky said of his linemate Alfaro. “He gets a lot of opportuni-ties out there as well.

When you put those two together it’s an opportu-nity for success.”

Last week in an 11-1 loss at Brandon, coach Pierce highlighted the play of his veterans, par-ticularly Alfaro and Zbo-rosky, making mention of their continued effort and battle despite the path the game took.

With the Wheat Kings in town Wednes-day night, both Alfaro and Zborosky will once again be relied upon to lead the charge for a young club that is sim-ply playing out the stretch and building to-wards next season.

“It’s tough, some people can look at it as there’s nothing really to play for anymore,” Zbo-rosky said. “I still think guys have to realize that with the season we’ve

had this year, everyone is fighting for a spot for next year. You can’t real-ly take these games off. That will work over to next year.”

On top of their added offensive responsibili-ties, both Alfaro and Zborosky have stepped into larger leadership roles this season and it’s apparent in hearing them speak about what is a new situation for a franchise that has come accustomed to winning and qualifying for the post-season.

“It’s obviously not something we’re used to, especially for the vet-eran guys,” Alfaro said. “You’ve really just got to push through, keep going every day, look forward to next season and take it one game at a time.

“Just try to focus on winning these last games and going out on a good streak, playing good hockey to get roll-ing into next year.”

Alfaro, Zborosky and the Kootenay Ice will look to exact some re-venge on the Brandon Wheat Kings Wednes-day night (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place.

T YLER HARPERNelson Star

Dylan Heppler and Kyle Hope each scored twice as the Beaver Val-ley Nitehawks held off a Nelson comeback to beat the Leafs 7-5 in Game 1 of the Neil Mur-doch Division semifinals in Fruitvale on Tuesday.

Jason Weegar, Blake Sidoni and Tyler Hart-man also scored for Bea-ver Valley. Brett Clark meanwhile made 38 saves for the Nitehawks.

Nicholas Ketola, Riley

Swiscoski, Matt Sokol, Brendan Smith and Rayce Miller replied for the Leafs. Goalie Josh Williams got the start but was pulled early after al-lowing three goals on nine shots. Patrick Oster-mann took over and fin-ished with 36 saves.

Game 2 is Wednes-day in Fruitvale before the series moves to Nel-son Friday and Saturday.

Where Williams looked unprepared Os-termann was steady. He

was especially good in the third period with several close saves in-cluded one in which he slid to the post to deny a Nitehawks shooter right at the goal-line.

The Leafs made a game of it down 5-3 in the third. Sam Weber used speed to race in and fire a shot that Smith tipped past Clark to make it a one-goal game with under eight min-utes left in regulation.

But less than a min-

ute later Heppler scored his second of the game, banging a rebound past Ostermann to give the Nitehawks an insurance goal they spent most of the game not needing.

The Leafs pulled Os-termann with less than two minutes left and the move paid off. Miller jammed the puck in at 1:28 to make it a one-goal lead and give the Leafs late hope. But the lightning didn’t strike twice and Hope scored

an empty-net goal to put the game out of reach.

The Nitehawks rat-tled the Leafs early in the first period with three goals in just over a minute.

Leaflets: Nelson played a nearly full roster for the first time in recent memory. Only D Dash Thompson (upper body), F Blair Andrews (upper body) and D Max Daerendinger (upper body) were missing from the lineup.

Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds to take a stand and express your beliefs. You have the energy, and possibly even the anger, to move for-ward with this matter. Look past someone’s knee-jerk reactions, and keep your eye on the long-term results. Tonight: Friends and loved ones surround you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to an expert in order to get his or her impression about a certain matter. This

person might not be as familiar with your personal life as those around you, so he or she is likely to offer you a different perspec-tive and unbiased feedback. Tonight: Relax to a favorite pas-time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll want to have a discussion with a key person in your life. One-on-one relating emerges as your strong suit, even though you sometimes prefer not to get so intense about certain issues. In any case, you’ll be following someone else’s lead. Tonight: Treat your mind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are able to see a situation from a different point of view. You might want to see how oth-ers approach the same matter. You could end up deferring to them as a result. Experience is great, but the result are not al-ways the same. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion. BORN TODAY Co-founder of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs (1955), baseball player Eddie Murray (1956), author Wilhelm Grimm (1786)

Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing a very nice man for more than a year. We are both in our late 50s and divorced. He is affectionate and kind, and I love him quite a lot. He doesn’t have any of the obvious problems -- money, drugs or alcohol, but one thing bothers me a lot. He likes to wear women’s thigh-high stockings. He started wearing the stockings near the end of his previous marriage. His ex wouldn’t wear them, so he decided to try them himself and ended up liking them a lot. He says they give him a lot of pleasure and make him feel sexy. He was upfront about it early in our relationship, and I said I didn’t think it would be a problem. He likes wearing them around the house and in public under his pants. He doesn’t want his friends and co-workers to know. He’s not a cross-dresser or anything like that. It’s just the stockings. The problem is, I haven’t been able to accept it as well as I thought I could. I wear the stockings for him, which pleases him a lot, but he still wants to wear them, too. He agreed to put them on only once a week until I adjusted, but now he says he’s getting frustrated. I’m resisting. I’ve told him I don’t see this as very manly behavior. He says he feels a need to express his feminine side. I don’t want to lose him, but I’m not sure how to deal with this. Can you help me? -- Thigh High in Confusion Dear Confusion: If your boyfriend derives sexual satisfaction from wearing women’s stockings, he is a cross-dresser, even though he may not wear the whole ensemble. We are glad he was upfront about it, but you need to educate yourself on the subject, so you can decide how tolerant you can be. Cross-dressing does not mean that your boyfriend is gay (most cross-dressers are not) or that he plans to change his sexual identity (not likely). The stockings may be as far as it ever goes. Check out tri-ess.org for information and support -- and please don’t judge the book by its cover. He’s still the man you fell for. Dear Annie: I’d like to weigh in on the letter from “Wondering in Pennsylvania,” who asked how to have a surprise wedding as part of a picnic. My husband and I had a surprise wedding in the large backyard of a home we had just purchased. We sent invitations inviting everyone to a picnic, claiming that we were recently married. The invitations were artist-drawn, and we specified that the recipients’ presence was all that was required, which took everyone off the hook of bringing gifts or food. We hired a caterer, parking attendants, a cleanup crew and an officiant, and did all of the decorating ourselves. It was a huge hit, and people still mention how lovely it was. Even my mother didn’t know there was going to be an actual wedding until the last minute. That was 29 years ago. Tell “Wondering” that it can be done. -- A. Dear A.: We like that you handled all of the details on your own and didn’t expect the guests to bring their own food. Bravo.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

On February 24, 2016 the CKNW Orphans’ Fund are encouraging all British Columbians to wear pink and support anti-bullying programs in the province. The official pink shirt is available now in all London Drugs stores and online at PinkShirtDay.ca.

Since 2008, over $1.2 million has been raised for the cause through the sale of pink shirts and granted to non-profit organizations including Boys & Girls Clubs, Red Cross RespectED Violence Prevention Program and Kids Help Phone. These programs teach children empathy, kindness and the importance of build-ing healthy relationships – both with themselves and their peers.

The tshirt design was created pro-bono by award-winning advertis-ing agency ‘Rethink’ and states “Kindness is one size fits all”. Kindness is universal — a trait the CKNW Orphans’ Fund

Students involved in bullying are 1.5 times more likely to abuse alcohol

encourage everyone to openly express every day. The phrase “one size fits all” works for one simple reason: it stands for inclusivity, both in clothing and in our everyday lives. We’re all gloriously different, but we all have the capacity to put kindness out into the world.

Coast Capital Savings, a large supporter and pre-senting sponsor of Pink Shirt Day, is passionate about the cause. “Our community promise is to help build a richer future for youth. One of the ways we do this is by

supporting anti-bullying initiatives, like Pink Shirt Day, that teach kindness and respect, attributes that are important in helping to build belonging.” says Wendy Lachance, Director, Com-munity Leadership.

A number of fundraising campaigns are also run-ning across the province in the month of February including pink cupcakes at Take Five Café, classes by donation on Pink Shirt Day at YYoga and more.

Net proceeds will benefit the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of anti-bul-

lying programs in BC. For updates on CKNW Orphans’ Fund Pink Shirt Day please visit www.pinkshirtday.ca, on Twit-ter @pinkshirtday, and on Facebook.

About Pink Shirt Day: In 2007, two Nova Scotia students decided to take action after witnessing a younger student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. The students bought 50 pink t-shirts and encouraged schoolmates to wear them and send a power-ful message of solidarity to the bully. CKNW Or-phan’s Fund was inspired

by the story and to date have raised more than $1.2 million for anti-bul-lying programs in British Columbia with the sales of Pink Shirt Day T-Shirts.

About CKNW Orphans’ Fund: Dedicated to en-hancing the lives of chil-dren with social, physical and mental challenges living in BC communities. We provide funding to both individual children and organizations for a variety of developmental needs, with an emphasis on therapies, education-al bursaries and special-ized medical equipment..

For the townsman

A delightful East Kootenay Music Teachers Assocation concert was held in the Care Facility of Joseph Creek on the evening of February 18, where 28 performers entertained a full house of residents and family. The girls performed well on the piano, cello and voice, and also looked beautiful. Thank you to the staff, residents and family members for making this a pleasurable experience for the students.
